NYT Connections Today (Game #915): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #915 are…
- YELLOW: CONTAINS KEEP, HOME, SAVE, STORE
- GREEN: MOVE IN THE WIND BLOW, FLAP, SWING, WAVE
- BLUE: VEGETABLE UNITS BULB, EAR, HEAD, SPEAR
- PURPLE: THINGS THAT ARE DIVIDED INTO TWELVE SEGMENTS CLOCK, FOOT, YEAR, ZODIAC
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I left the UNITS OF VEGETABLES and THINGS THAT DIVIDE INTO TWELVE SEGMENTS on the back burner while I worked out the easier groups.
I was pretty sure I was on the right path, but I was suffering from a crisis of confidence. CLOCK, YEAR, and ZODIAC seemed to be linked by the number 12, but I wasn’t sure about the FOOT; Only later did I remember that 12 inches makes a foot. Oh!
My question about VEGETABLE UNITS was BOMBILLA. I knew that EAR, HEAD, and SPEAR were related to corn, lettuce, and asparagus, but it wasn’t until the game was over that I finally remembered that we bought garlic in bulbs. Or, if you’re lazy like me, frozen and pre-chopped.

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.
