NYT Connections Today (Game #901): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #901 are…
- YELLOW: ADJUSTMENT FAIR, JUST, ADEQUATE, CORRECT
- GREEN: ACHIEVE VICTORY OVER WIN, BETTER, TAKE, WORST
- BLUE: PARTS OF AN ELECTRIC GUITAR FRET, PEG, PICKUP, STRING
- PURPLE: PHONETIC ELEMENTS OF SPEECH INTONATION, SOUND, RHYTHM, STRESS
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
After getting PARTS OF AN ELECTRIC GUITAR, I incorrectly thought that there was another musical group that had something to do with drums, adding BEAT to INTONATION, SOUND, RHYTHM.
That guess was wrong, but after getting a lucky “one way” on my second guess, I changed BEAT to STRESS. I wasn’t sure what the connection was until they were revealed, but I’m still glad I got the purple group so soon, despite how difficult the victory was.
When there were only eight tiles left I saw FITTING. The word WORST prevented me from seeing ACHIEVE VICTORY OVER, as I’m sure it did for many.

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.
