NYT Connections today (game #567) – the answers
The answers to today’s Connections, game #567, are…
- YELLOW: SHADES OF RED BRICK, CHERRY, MAROON, RUBY
- GREEN: APPOINTMENT SPECIFICATIONS DATE, DURATION, LOCATION, TIME
- BLUE: DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF HAIR HEAD, LOCK, STRAND, WISP
- PURPLE: TREE HOMOPHONES BEACH, FUR, PAIR, YOU
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 mistakes
I struggled today and really should have employed a bit more lateral thinking to make it a bit less time-consuming.
I spent far too long thinking BEACH, STRAND, and MAROON were linked to dumping someone and PAIR and LOCK had something to do with charging a phone before finally seeing the much more obvious SHADES OF RED and DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF HEAD.
Our old friend the homophone also made an appearance with TREE HOMOPHONES. I think I’m going to have to have a permanent Post-it note reminding me to speak out words.

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.
