The answers to today’s Connections, game #1151, are…

  • YELLOW: NAVIGATE: DRIVE, MANEUVER, PILOT, STEER
  • GREEN: JEANS BRANDS: DIESEL, GAP, LUCKY, WRANGLER
  • BLUE: HOUSE STYLES: CAPE COD, MISSION, RANCH, TUDOR
  • PURPLE: WHAT “STOCK” MIGHT REFER TO: BROTH, CATTLE, INVESTMENT, MERCHANDISE
  • My rating: Hard
  • My score: 1 mistake

I fell for the obvious trap and linked WRANGLER, CATTLE, RANCH, and STEER today. But unable at that point to see any alternative groups, I went for it anyway.

Thankfully, after this mistake I found my way to the four tiles that made up NAVIGATE.

Not for the first time I’d take issue with Connections and protest that GAP, while being a seller of jeans, is not exactly one of the top JEANS BRANDS. Very misleading. Oh well, I Guess I will have to Levi it there as it’s onLee a game.

Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, August 4, 2026, game #1150)

  • YELLOW: LONG CYLINDRICAL THINGS: CIGARETTE, FOAM ROLLER, POOL NOODLE, PRETZEL ROD
  • GREEN: ICONIC NYC SIGHTS: BODEGA, PIGEON, SUBWAY STATION, TAXI CAB
  • BLUE: THINGS WITH PEDALS: PIANO, SEWING MACHINE, SWAN BOAT, UNICYCLE
  • PURPLE: V-SHAPED THINGS: ANGLE BRACKET, CHEVRON, GOOSE FORMATION, PEACE SIGN

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.
