NYT Connections Today (Game #1115): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1115 are…
- YELLOW: DIVIDER STRUCTURES FENCE, GATE, HEDGE, WALL
- GREEN: PARTICIPATE IN SOME WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES CURL, LUGE, SKATING, SKI
- BLUE: COMMON RECYCLABLES BOTTLE, BOX, CAN, NEWSPAPER
- PURPLE: WHAT “DRAFT” MIGHT REFER TO BREEZE, ON TAP, RECRUIT, SKETCH
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 errors
CAN, BOX, BOTTLE and ON TAP sounded like wine delivery methods to me, while HEDGE, BOX, BOTTLE and FENCE surely described someone who wouldn’t commit to giving an opinion.
Unfortunately, in both cases I was very wrong, but fortunately before the situation got too serious I was able to detect four ways in which you can PARTICIPATE IN SOME WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES and the quartet of DIVIDING STRUCTURES.
With only eight tiles left I finally managed to see the COMMON RECYCLABLES while WHAT “DRAFT” COULD THIS REFER TO passed like a BREEZE. Good job if you saw the purple first.

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.
