NYT Connections Today (Game #374): The Answers
The answers to today's Connections game #374 are…
- YELLOW: SEARCH CHASE, HUNT, SEARCH, SEARCH
- GREEN: SIGNATURES OF ROMANTIC LETTERS ALWAYS KISSES, LOVE, YOURS
- BLUE: GROUP WITHIN A GROUP CAMP, PARTY, SIDE, WING
- PURPLE: GOLD ___ BOND, LEAF, MINE, RUSH
- My rating: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
Having failed to solve the previous two Connections puzzles, I was relieved to escape here with just one error (and it probably should have been zero). All four are relatively simple, three of them are simple synonyms and only the more difficult purple group is a more complicated variety of missing words.
I filled in the green first, and those letter signatures stood out pretty quickly. Yellow, for the chase, followed shortly after, but as is usually the case, I stopped a little when the two toughest groups remained. I decided to focus on BOND, because it is not a common word, and the association with money led me to gold, and then to LEAD, MINE and RUSH.

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.
