NYT Connections today (game #1100) - the answers
The answers to today's Connections, game #1100, are…
- YELLOW: STAYING POWER LEGS, MOMENTUM, STAMINA, TRACTION
- GREEN: GET READY FOR A NIGHT OUT ACCESSORIZE, CHANGE, PRIMP, SHOWER
- BLUE: CHINESE ZODIAC ANIMALS DOG, DRAGON, HORSE, SNAKE
- PURPLE: FLOWERS ANEMONE, LARKSPUR, MONKSHOOD, PHLOX
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
MONKSHOOD is one of those flowers that is also known as Wolfsbane, which features as a poison in Harry Potter’s wizarding world and Agatha Christie’s 4:50 from Paddington.
However, I got the FLOWERS group not because I recognized MONKSHOOD, LARKSPUR, PHLOX, and ANEMONE but merely because I thought they sounded like they could all be flowers.
In fact that was the case with all of today’s groups — I couldn’t quite see the connections but i knew just about enough. Somedays that’ll do just fine.

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.
