NYT Connections Today (Game #1114): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1114 are…
- YELLOW: FORMER TROUBLES MICRANEAN, ROUGHT, RAFIAN, BRUSHBREAKING

- PURPLE: ENDING IN PARTS OF A TREE BOARD, GROOT, NUDIBRANCH, STRUNK
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
I wasted some time looking at word parts and convinced myself that there must be some dog-themed collection thanks to WOOFER and EMBARK, but ENDING IN PARTS OF A TREE slipped my mind.
My mistake was stupid. I knew we were working on OLD PROBLEMS, but I included GROOT instead of ROGUE based on half-remembered slang instead of the Marvel character.
Meanwhile, did anyone else experience deja vu from the green group CONSUME WITH GLUE? I’m sure we’ve had this foursome before.

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.
