NYT Connections today (game #676) – the answers
The answers to today’s Connections, game #676, are…
- YELLOW: CENTRAL SECTION OF THE BODY CORE, MIDRIFF, TORSO, TRUNK
- GREEN: COMPONENTS OF A PIZZA CHEESE, CRUST, SAUCE, TOPPINGS
- BLUE: UNITS OF BEER CASE, FORTY, GROWLER, SIX-PACK
- PURPLE: BASEBALL GREATS BONDS, MANTLE, TROUT, YOUNG
- My rating: Easy
- My score: Perfect
In the venn diagram of CENTRAL SECTION OF THE BODY and UNITS OF BEER, SIX-PACK sits between the two groups.
This was the only piece of hesitation for me today, in a Connections that combined beer, sport and pizza along with the part of the body that will suffer the most if you eat too much pizza and drink too much beer while watching sport.
There is something about watching athletes at the peak of their fitness perform on TV that triggers us regular mortals to abuse our bodies with food of low nutritional value. It’s odd, but I fall victim to it almost daily.
That said, I have always had a fantasy that I’ll watch the entire Tour de France while riding a stationary exercise bike, turning up the resistance on the mountain stages, sprinting for the finish line, surviving on energy gels and isotonic drinks until the end of the race – and then I’d have some beer and pizza!
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

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.
