NYT Connections Today (Game #1084): The Answers
The answers to today’s Connections game #1084 are…
- YELLOW: “IN YOUR DREAMS” IMPOSSIBLE, EVER, IN NO WAY, SORRY
- GREEN: SENSITIVE CLEAR, lucid, correct, sound
- BLUE: TYPOGRAPHICAL SYMBOLS BRACELET, CARET, TUBE, TILDE
- PURPLE: SONG OF THE YEAR NOMINATED AT THE FIRST GRAMMY AWARDS
- FEVER, GIGI, FLY, WITCHCRAFT
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 1 error
I really thought my work could help me get purple today. Unfortunately, there was a group even more difficult than the selection of four TYPOGRAPHIC SYMBOLS.
I thought this was difficult, but getting the purple group required three guesses, even though I only had eight tiles left after connecting SENSITIVE.
FEVER and VOLARE I knew as hits from the crooning era, but I wasn’t sure about the other two and included IMPOSSIBLE in the mix (I think I was thinking The impossible dream by Andy Williams) before finally getting the four right.

- PURPLE: WHAT “PA” COULD REFER TO FATHER, PENNSYLVANIA, PROTACTINIUM, PUBLIC ADDRESS
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.
