NYT Connections Today (Game #1037): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1037 are…
- YELLOW: SEEN OUTSIDE A THEATER TICKET OFFICE, TENT, TICKET STICK, VELVET ROPE
- GREEN: ACCESSORIES FOR A MAGICIAN CAPE, HANDKERCHIEF, MAGIC WAND, RABBIT
- BLUE: SURNAMES OF THE TITLE OF THE TV SHOW HOUSE, LAZO, MONTANA, SOPRANO
- PURPLE: THEY HAVE CAPS BASEBALL PLAYER, CAMERA LENS, MUSHROOM, PEN
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
After seeing SOPRANO and LASSO on the grid, I was pretty sure there had to be a group on SURNAMES FROM TV SHOW TITLES, but MONTANA made me wonder and check to see if there were more Tonys in the game after Tony SOPRANO and Tony MONTANA. In the end I went with my hunch and launched CASA.
I used to love The Sopranos and I used to buy whatever merchandise related to the show I could: I have a cookbook, T-shirts, scripts, a Satriale meat market sign, and, in the style of those Baby on Board stickers, one that says Body on Board with a chalk outline of a corpse. I had it in my car for five minutes before I thought better of it.
Anyway, we digress. The other two groups were pretty simple, but I lacked the lateral thinking to be able to connect MUSHROOM and BASEBALL PLAYER. Congratulations if you saw it.

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.
