NYT Connections Today (Game #911): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #911 are…
- YELLOW: GOAD, WITH “ON” EGG, PUSH, SPULATE, PUSH
- GREEN: FAMOUS STREETS OF LOS ANGELES MULHOLLAND, RODEO, SUNSET, VINE
- BLUE: MEMBER OF A DALLAS PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAM COWBOY, DIFFERENT, STAR, WING
- PURPLE: EUROPEAN CAPITAL LETTERS MINUS PENULTIMATE LETTER MINK, PARS, EGGS, SOFA
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
Before I decided on FAMOUS STREETS IN LOS ANGELES, I was convinced there was a western-themed group with COWBOY, SPUR, MAVERICK, and RODEO, but fortunately I abandoned this thread after I made a mistake.
Both SPUR and STAR made me think there was a sports theme somewhere in this mix, but I stuck to the task and added SPUR to the motivational yellow group, GOAD, WITH “ON”.
I’m glad I got the blue group, as my knowledge of American sports isn’t great, but I knew the Mavs and Cowboys were Dallas teams, so I took advantage of a lucky punt with STAR and WING. With only eight chips left, I was on pretty safe ground because I decided it was unlikely that there would be a team called Dallas Sofas.

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.
