What are today’s Connections answers?

Okay, here’s a revised and fact-checked version of the Connections game solutions, based on the provided text and verified with external sources.


Today’s Connections Solutions

Here are the solutions to today’s New york Times Connections game, along with the categories:

Yellow Category: Words related to “goad, with ‘on'”

The four words in this category are: EGG, PUSH, SPUR, and URGE. These all function as ways to encourage or motivate someone,often with the addition of the word “on” (e.g., “egg on,” “push on,” “spur on,” “urge on”).

Green Category: Famous Streets in Los Angeles

The four streets are: MULHOLLAND DRIVE, RODEO DRIVE, SUNSET BOULEVARD, and VINE STREET. These are all well-known and iconic streets within the city of Los Angeles. https://www.discoverlosangeles.com/things-to-do/iconic-streets-in-los-angeles

Blue Category: Members of a Dallas Pro Sports Team

The four teams represented are: COWBOYS (Dallas Cowboys – NFL), MAVERICKS (Dallas Mavericks – NBA), STARS (Dallas Stars – NHL), and WINGS (Dallas Wings – WNBA). https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/dallas-sports-teams/

Purple Category: European Capitals Minus Second-to-Last Letter

This is the trickiest category! The answers are: MINK (from Minsk, Belarus), PARS (from Paris, France), ROE (from Rome, Italy), and SOFA (from Sofia, Bulgaria).


I have verified the street names and sports teams using reputable sources. The logic for the purple category was already clearly explained in the original text and required no external verification. I have also added links to authoritative sources where appropriate.
