NYT Connections Today (Game #1095): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1095 are…
- YELLOW: TECHNIQUE FASHION, MANNER, METHOD, WAY
- GREEN: GROSS THINGS THAT FORM ON WET SURFACES BARK, FILM, SCUMA, SKIN
- BLUE: PARTS OF A THEATER CATWALK, PIT, STAGE, WINGS
- PURPLE: COUNTED IN THE WORD COUNT OF THE DOCUMENT CHARACTER, LINE, PAGE, WORD
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 error
It’s funny how sometimes you can get to the right answer by going in the completely wrong direction.
After getting PARTS OF A THEATER (although I wasn’t at all sure about CATWALK), I thought I had seen a second theater group and put together METHOD, CHARACTER, PAGE and LINE, thinking this described four different types of acting; I was imagining that the PAGE and LINE actors were the ones who strictly followed the scripts.
Fortunately, after removing one, I realized it was a breakdown of the written word as in things COUNTED IN THE WORD COUNT OF THE DOCUMENT. I hope that tomorrow they will punish me for my luck.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
