Welcome to my deeper dive into today\u2019s Connections answers. The idea behind this is to help clear things up for anyone who isn\u2019t sure how today\u2019s groups fit together.<\/p>\n If I\u2019ve missed any red herrings or misunderstood something, let me know via email<\/a> or on Discord<\/a>. I don\u2019t typically look at X or check the comments here. <\/p>\n I\u2019m going to assume that you\u2019ve already beaten today\u2019s game. We\u2019re going straight into spoiler territory here. So, consider this your one and only warning.<\/p>\n Here are today\u2019s NYT Connections answers explained (and any red herrings I spot) for Monday, July 6:<\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n Today\u2019s NYT Connections Answers ExplainedToday\u2019s Connections Yellow Category<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe8 stunning news (BOMBSHELL, REVELATION, SHOCKER, THUNDERBOLT)<\/p>\n These all refer to a surprising, perhaps life-altering piece of information coming to light.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s Connections Green Category<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe9 science fair model subjects (ATOM, DNA, SOLAR SYSTEM, VOLCANO)<\/p>\n These are all common choices for kids who make projects for school science fairs. The idea \u2013 as far as I\u2019m aware since I\u2019ve never been involved with a science fair personally \u2013 is to create a model or diorama that demonstrates how a concept of scientific interest works.<\/p>\n I might try making a VOLCANO in this vein with my partner\u2019s kid sometime. It looks like a fun, messy project:<\/p>\n Today\u2019s Connections Blue Category<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe6 ACME products used by Wile E. Coyote (EARTHQUAKE PILLS, IRON BIRD SEED, ROCKET SKATES, TNT)<\/p>\n These are all related to the slapstick Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons featuring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Wile E. Coyote is on a mission to capture and eat the Road Runner. In his attempts to do that, he always sets up elaborate, hare-brained traps, often using strange products from the ACME Corporation. However, he fails every time, leading to disaster.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how each of these items looks in practice\u2026 well, failure:<\/p>\n Thanks for this group, Connections team.
