NYT Connections Today (Game #930): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #930 are…
- YELLOW: AIR CLASSES BUSINESS, ECONOMY, FIRST, PREMIUM
- BLUE: VOCATION CALL, CRAFTS, LINE, TRADE
- GREEN: ATTRIBUTE QUOTE, CREDIT, NAME, REFERENCE
- PURPLE: ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC DRINKS DECIDER, TOMONIO, REPORT, VILLAGER
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
I’m a little bummed I didn’t get the purple group ENDING WITH ALCOHOLIC DRINKS, since I saw the sake in NAME AND the cider in DECIDER, but somehow I missed the beer in VILLAGER and the port in REPORT. A lesson to be more attentive.
Not that it mattered, as today’s match was very easy.
The VOCATION group made me think of that phrase “do a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life”, something with which I totally disagree.
Although doing something you love is easier, it still takes dedication and effort to be successful at any job. It is notions like this that lead to journalists and nurses receiving low salaries, while management consultants and dictators earn a fortune.

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.
