Is the July 29 edition of NYT Connections proving to be a little tricky? We’re here to help you maintain your winning streak with some helpful clues and hints.
The New York Times’ Connections is a popular word game in which the objective is to sort 16 words into four different categories. Players get only four guesses to correctly identify the hidden themes of each group and select the words accordingly. Since the yellow group often has the most obvious theme, players are advised to sort it first. Additionally, the game provides a “one away…” notification to guide you if you’re close.
Here are all the hints and answers for the July 29 Connections puzzle.
