NYT Connections Today (Game #708) – The answers
The answers to today’s connections, Game #708, are …
- Yellow: fundraising event Ball, benefit, function, gala
- Green: Spaces on a monopolistic sign Avenue, Chance, Railroad, Utility
- Blue: Features of a toothed whale Blubber, Flipper, Fluke, Melon
- Purple: homophones of parts of the foot Bawl, Heal, Soul, Tow
- My review: Moderate
- My score: 1 error
After I quickly received a fundraising event, I had trouble getting ahead and I started shaking the 12 remaining words. First of all, I thought there was a group where happiness was the connection – but I could not go beyond Fluke and coincidence.
Then I suspected that Blubber and Flipper should be part of a group that has to do with marine biology. From pure happiness I added Fluke and Bawl and got “One away”, so the latter exchanged for melon – of which I know it was given the name for the tissue found in the forehead of toothed whales. Every day is a school day.
Of course I kick myself with my heel, sole and toes that I did not get the relatively simple gay people of parts of the foot.
How did you do it today? Let me know in the comments below.

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the many increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that have 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 positive side, you do not have to solve the last technically because you can answer it through an elimination process. What is more, you can make a maximum of four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing space.
However, it is slightly more involved than something like Wordel, and there are many possibilities for the game to stumble with tricks. For example, watch out for gay and other word games that can hide the answers.
It was played for free via the NYT Games -site On desktop or mobile.
