NYT Connections today (game #1077) - the answers
The answers to today's Connections, game #1077, are…
- YELLOW: HAIRDOS BEEHIVE, BOUFFANT, CHIGNON, POMPADOUR
- GREEN: MORE READILY FIRST, PREFERABLY, RATHER, SOONER
- BLUE: MARVEL CHARACTERS DAREDEVIL, HAWKEYE, NIGHTCRAWLER, WOLVERINE
PURPLE: WORDS AFTER "THE" IN "STAR WARS" MOVIE TITLES EMPIRE, FORCE, LAST, PHANTOM
- My rating: Easy
- My score: 1 mistake
On the 49th anniversary of the first Star Wars movie and with another spin-off in theaters, EMPIRE, FORCE, and PHANTOM could only mean one thing.
However in my rush to submit them I picked FIRST instead of LAST. Fools rush in I guess. Still, I was happy with another purple first.
I had no issues with MARVEL CHARACTERS or the extravagant HAIRDOS.

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.
