NYT Connections today (game #1095) - the answers
The answers to today's Connections, game #1095, are…
- YELLOW: TECHNIQUE FASHION, MANNER, METHOD, WAY
- GREEN: GROSS THINGS THAT FORM ON WET SURFACES CRUST, FILM, SCUM, SKIN
- BLUE: PARTS OF A THEATER CATWALK, PIT, STAGE, WINGS
- PURPLE: COUNTED IN DOCUMENT WORD COUNTS CHARACTER, LINE, PAGE, WORD
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 mistake
It’s funny how sometimes you can get to the right answer by going in completely the wrong direction.
After getting PARTS OF A THEATER (although I was far from certain about CATWALK) I thought I spied a second theatrical group and put together METHOD, CHARACTER, PAGE, and LINE, thinking that this described four different types of acting — I was imagining that PAGE and LINE actors were ones who strictly followed scripts.
Fortunately, after getting one away I realized it was a breakdown of the written word as in things COUNTED IN DOCUMENT WORD COUNTS. I fully expect to be punished for my luck tomorrow.

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.

Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna's addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker.
