NYT Connections today (game #913) - the answers The answers to today's Connections, game #913, are… YELLOW: "MY GOODNESS!" DEAR, GRACIOUS, HEAVENS, MERCYGREEN: IMITATION COPY, DUMMY, DUPE, FAKEBLUE: CONFECTION CANDY, LOLLY, SUCKER, SWEETPURPLE: WHAT "Y" MIGHT MEAN WHY, YEAR, YELLOW, YES My rating: HardMy score: 1 mistake My mistake was trying to put together a quartet of words that roughly meant loser, so I had DUMMY, DUPE, SUCKER and FAKE. Thankfully the “one away” pop up led me to the correct answer. SUCKER then found its way into my second group, due to its other meaning as lollipop. With eight tiles left, I got the purple group just by thinking that all the Y words had to be linked somehow and added WHY because it sounds like Y, but I had no confidence that it would be correct.
