NYT Connections today (game #810) - the answers (Image credit: New York Times) The answers to today's Connections, game #810, are… YELLOW: FAMOUS PERSON FIGURE, NAME, PERSONALITY, STAR GREEN: INCREASE BALLOON, MOUNT, MUSHROOM, WAX BLUE: PLACES THAT SELL GAS 7-ELEVEN, CHEVRON, GULF, SHELL PURPLE: SPLIT 7-10, BANANA, LICKETY, STOCK My rating: Hard My score: Fail I crashed out today after cobbling together the yellow group having already made a couple of errors. Annoyingly, I was on the right track for three of the groups. I thought that SPLIT was the link but I had PERSONALITY and CHEVRON instead of 7-10 and STOCK. Not even getting one away tricked me into thinking I was off track. Then, with just one mistake left, I had BALLOON, MUSHROOM, and MOUNT but had STOCK instead of WAX. Being based in the UK I think I can be forgiven for missing PLACES THAT SELL GAS, but, regardless, this was a poor round for me.
