The
answers
to
today’s
Connections,
game
#474,
are…

What
do
MATRIX,
THING,
FLY,
ABYSS,
GRAVITY
and
DUNE
all
have
in
common?
They’re
all
movies,
of
course
–
and
more
specifically
all
sci-fi
movies
(although
The
Fly
is
also
a
horror).
Four
of
them
also
formed
a
Connections
group
today
–
but
which
four?

If
I’d
been
a
little
more
careful
I’d
have
worked
it
out
sooner
and
not
lost
a
guess
very
early
on.
But
I
didn’t
do
that,
instead
just
picking
four
at
random,
which
was
a
REALLY
STUPID
thing
to
do.
Still,
I
got
it
on
the
second
attempt,
taking
a
little
more
time
over
it
and
realizing
that
it
was
SCI-FI
MOVIES,
WITH
“THE”,
and
therefore
ABYSS,
FLY,
MATRIX
and
THING.

I
only
lost
one
guess
there,
but
threw
away
a
couple
more
on
the
blue
ACTIONS
IN
FANTASY
SPORTS
group.
I
originally
had
IMPORT
in
there,
thinking
it
was
something
about
taking
things/people
from
one
place
to
another
(which
worked
with
DRAFT
and
TRADE),
but
was
looking
in
slightly
the
wrong
place
and
almost
suffered
a
failure.
With
no
guesses
remaining
I
swapped
IMPORT
for
BENCH,
added
START
and
solved
this
Connections
puzzle.

How
did
you
do
today?

Yesterday’s
NYT
Connections
answers
(Thursday,

September,
game
#473)

What
is
NYT
Connections?

NYT
Connections
is
one
of
several
increasingly
popular
word
games
made
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
a
little
harder,
blue
often
quite
tough
and
purple
usually
very
difficult.

On
the
plus
side,
you
don’t
technically
need
to
solve
the
final
one,
as
you’ll
be
able
to
answer
that
one
by
a
process
of
elimination.
What’s
more,
you
can
make
up
to
four
mistakes,
which
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
breathing
room.

It’s
a
little
more
involved
than
something
like
Wordle,
however,
and
there
are
plenty
of
opportunities
for
the
game
to
trip
you
up
with
tricks.
For
instance,
watch
out
for
homophones
and
other
word
games
that
could
disguise
the
answers.

It’s
playable
for
free
via
the

NYT
Games
site
on
desktop
or
mobile.
