NYT Connections Today (Game #368): The Answers
The answers to today's Connections game #368 are…
- YELLOW: ENJOY APPRECIATE, EXCAVATE, FANTASY, LIKE
- GREEN: BLOCKING SUCCESS HIT, FEEL, SMASH, SUCCESS
- BLUE: CAMPAIGN BOOT BUTTON, HAT, SHIRT, STICKER
- PURPLE: WORDS AFTER “COPY” CAT, EDITOR, PASTE, THAT
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
There are no real problems here. Yellow and green were very simple collections of synonyms, which, let's face it, are generally the easiest type of grouping to solve. I might suggest that green is actually easier than yellow, but there's not much to it.
I then solved the purple before the green, although I made a mistake before doing so. I had COPY EDITOR, COPY CAT, and COPY PASTE, but the phrase COPY THAT didn't occur to me, even though in retrospect it should have. For some reason, I played COPY BUTTON instead, which I thought might be a reference to some kind of software, but instead it was nothing like that.
Instead, BUTTON opted for SHIRT, HAT and STICKER as CAMPAIGN BOOTS, a theme that is very present in many places around the world right now.

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 elements 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.
