ForbesNYT “Connections” Clues and Answers for Thursday, July 11

Hi all! Happy Friday. I hope you have some lovely summer weekends planned. I would love to have access to a boat so I can spend all day on the lake tomorrow and Sunday. Maybe when I retire, many years from now.

Today The New York Times Connections clues and answers come right away.

How to play Connections

In ConnectionsYou are presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to sort them into four groups of four by determining the connections between them. The groups could be things like horror movie franchises, a type of verb, or rappers.

There is only one solution for each puzzle, and you will need to watch out for words that might belong to multiple categories. You can mix the words together to perhaps help you see the connections between them.

Each group is color-coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green are in the middle, and the purple group is usually the hardest to deduce. The purple group often involves wordplay, so keep that in mind.

Select four words that you think go together and hit Submit. If you make a guess and get it wrong, you’ll lose a life. If you’re close to getting a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you only have one word left to guess, but you’ll still have to figure out which one to swap.

If you make four mistakes, it’s game over. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen with a few tips, and if you’re really struggling, Connections answers.

A perfect game today extended my overall winning streak to five games.

This was the third relatively easy win in a row, which makes me worried about what’s in store for the weekend. I got the purple group first because GOLDEN and SILLY were close together and the connection formed in my brain.

The greens were next, as the rearranged grid placed EVEN and ODD next to each other and I recognized them as a reference to my favorite casino game. For a moment, I thought GYM and LAB were part of a make-believe (as in “gym rat” and “lab rat”) before realizing they were half of the yellows. That left the blues, who I didn’t understand, for the win.

That’s all there is to say for today. Connections clues and answers. Don’t forget to check my blog for clues and the solution to Saturday’s game if you need it.
