Answers For Today’s NYT Connections (April 24, 2025)
After closely analyzing today’s NYT Connections, the first words that came to my mind were: Milk, Polar Bear, Snow, and Baby Powder.
So grouping out these white words, I got the yellow group ” Things That Are White“.

Moving ahead with the remaining, I lost two lives in a row and finally got the green group “Kinds Of Lettuce.”
Romaine Meaning In NYT Connections #683
Romaine in today’s NYT Connections is a variety of lettuce with crisp, narrow leaves that form a tall head.

The other remaining words refer to the type of lettuce, such as Butter Lettuce, which is known for its delicate, soft, and sweet leaves.
So, after getting the green group with the words Iceberg (tightly packed-round head lettuce), Leaf (loose rosette lettuce), Butter, and Romaine, I was still left with two more groups, and only two were live.
Bane And Penguin Meaning In NYT Connections #683
As I progressed further with the game, I lost one life from the only two remaining lives, and got the Blue group “Batman Villains“.
I was quite sure about Bane, Joker, and Penguin, while Scarecrow was out of my mind.
In today’s NYT game, Bane is a character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, who is also seen in Batman Movies (The Dark Knight Rises) as an Antagonist portrayed by Tom Hardy.

Likewise, Penguin is another villain who appears mostly in Batman TV Shows like Gotham and Batman: The Animated Series.
Pitchers Meaning In NYT Connections #683 With All Answers
With only four words remaining at the end, I quickly grouped them out and got the purple group, “They Have Literal/Idiomatic Ears“.
In today’s game, Pitchers refer to the baseball pitcher, a player who throws the ball to the catcher and starts each play.
Pitchers need to “listen” to cues—often figuratively—such as the catcher’s signals or the crowd’s reaction. This attention and awareness tie them to the “ears” theme.

After submitting the words and getting all the groups, with a colored grid, I was able to complete today’s game with the following answers;
- Things That Are White (Yellow): Baby Powder, Milk, Polar Bear, Snow
- Kinds Of Lettuce (Green): Butter, Iceberg, Leaf, Romaine
- “Batman” Villains (Blue): Bane, Joker, Penguin, Scarecrow
- They Have Literal/Idiomatic Ears (Purple): Walls, Cornfield, Musicians, Pitchers
