NYT Connections today (game #994) - the answers
The answers to today's Connections, game #994, are…
- YELLOW: LITTLE BITE CANAPÉ, FINGER FOOD, HORS D'OEUVRE, TAPA
- GREEN: CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT HARD HAT, LADDER, NAIL GUN, TOOL BELT
- BLUE: VACATION EMOJI AIRPLANE, LUGGAGE, PALM TREE, SMILING FACE WITH SUNGLASSES
- PURPLE: THINGS YOU DON'T EAT THAT END IN FOODS COPYPASTA, JOHANNESBURGER, KNUCKLE SANDWICH, LICORICE PIZZA
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 mistakes
The first thing that popped out from today’s tiles was LICORICE PIZZA and AIRPLANE, which as well as being one of those THINGS YOU DON'T EAT THAT END IN FOODS and a VACATION EMOJI respectively are also the titles of very good movies.
Were there two more classic comedy films lurking among the 16 tiles? Is HARD HAT a 1980s comedy starring Chevy Chase? Err, no.
Abandoning my movie rabbit hole, I made a bit of a mess of assembling the LITTLE BITE group by muddling it up with things you don’t actually eat, but I got there eventually.
The four VACATION EMOJI somehow eluded me — possibly because I use the SMILING FACE WITH SUNGLASSES emoji on a daily basis to indicate that “yes, I am happy with that”, “oh, alright then” and “OK, if we must”.

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.
