NYT Connections Today (Game #1090): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1090 are…
- YELLOW: ASSOCIATED WITH HANSEL AND GRETEL BREAD ROUTE, FOREST, OVEN, WITCH
- GREEN: A LITTLE CEREAL CLUSTER, SCALE, LOOP, BACK
- BLUE: DEMI MOORE FILMS DISCLOSURE, GHOST, STRIPTEASE, THE SUBSTANCE
- PURPLE: ENDING IN TRANSPORTATION METHODS INCUBUS, OSCAR, QUATRENO, SITUATION
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
No mistakes again, but I really regret not seeing the purple group sooner.
Congratulations if you saw END ON TRANSPORTATION METHODS, but I didn’t realize the INCUBUS gang was irrelevant until I only had eight tiles left. If QUATRAIN was a band too, I spent too much time wondering.
DEMI MOORE MOVIES was a much easier place for me, although I can’t claim to have seen all of her work. I thought THE SUBSTANCE was amazing, not that I would recommend watching it before or after eating; It is best to allow a minimum period of four hours.

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.
