ForbesNYT \u2018Connections\u2019 Hints And Answers For August 9By Paul Tassi<\/a><\/p>\n New York Times Connections Guide Sunday August 10th<\/p>\n Looking for a little help with your Sunday Connections puzzle? The New York Times has given us a pretty tricky one today, so if you\u2019re looking for extra clues \u2013 or the answers \u2013 you\u2019ve come to the right place. Below you\u2019ll find an extra set of clues, the categories for each group and, finally, the solution to today\u2019s puzzle.<\/p>\n It\u2019s another lovely weekend in August, though I\u2019d be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t itching for some cooler weather at this point. It\u2019s been hot with nary a cloud in the sky, and all I\u2019m asking for is a little rain. Or a lot of rain. Moisture of any kind would be lovely. Then again, in a few months when snow is piled high and it\u2019s too cold to go outside, I\u2019ll be pining for summer sun. We always want what we can\u2019t have.<\/p>\n Be sure to check out my streaming guide<\/a> if you\u2019re looking for some new shows or movies to check out this weekend. There\u2019s a lot of good stuff out at the beginning of the month.<\/p>\n ForbesWhat To Watch This Weekend: New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And MoreBy Erik Kain<\/a><\/p>\n Play Puzzles & Games on Forbes<\/p>\n In any case, we have a Connections to solve, so let\u2019s group some words!<\/p>\n How To Play Connections<\/p>\n Connections is the second-most popular NYT Games puzzle game outside of the main crossword itself, and an extremely fun, free offering that will get your brain moving every day. Play it right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The goal is to take a group of 16 words and find links between four pairs of four of them. They could be specific categories of terms, or they could be little world puzzles where words may come before or after them you need to figure out. And they get more complicated from there.<\/p>\n There is only one set of right answers for this, and you only get a certain number of tries so you can\u2019t just spam around until you find something. There are difficulty tiers coded by color, which will usually go from yellow, blue\/green to purple as difficulty increases, so know that going in and when you start linking them together.<\/p>\n You pick the four words you think are linked and either you will get a solve and a lit up row that shows you how you were connected. If you\u2019re close, it will tell you that you\u2019re one away. Again, four mistakes you lose, but if you want to know the answers without failing, either come here, or delete your web cookies and try again. If you want to play more puzzles, you can get an NYT Games subscription to access the full archives of all past puzzles.<\/p>\n What Are Today\u2019s Connections Hints For Sunday, August 10th?<\/p>\n These are the hints that are laid out on the puzzle board itself, but after that, we will get into spoiler territory with some hints and eventually the answers. First, here are today\u2019s Connections words:<\/p>\n BIOPIC Hints for the Connections groups today are:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe1Yellow group \u2013 If you are a person of status in a group, you have this with others. What Are Today\u2019s Connections Groups?<\/p>\n Alright, the full spoilers follow here as we get into what the groups are today:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe1Yellow group \u2013 Influence What Are Today\u2019s Connections Answers?<\/p>\n The full-on answers are below for each group, finally inserting the four words in each category. Spoilers follow if you do not want to get this far. The Connections answers are:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe1Yellow group \u2013 Juice, Pull, Sway, Weight Today’s Connections<\/p>\n Screenshot: Erik Kain<\/p>\n This was definitely a trickier NYT Connections than I\u2019ve seen the past few Sundays. I started off with my own area of expertise: Fiction. As soon as I saw PULP and HISTORICAL I was pretty sure we were talking about pulp fiction and historical fiction, and it was just a matter of looking for a couple more words that fit. FAN fiction and SCIENCE fiction did the trick. Blue group was done in a jiffy.<\/p>\n From here, I was less certain. CONCENTRATE and JUICE seemed to go together. And you get CALCIUM from orange juice. I also thought some of the words might fit with measurements, like WEIGHT and GROUP. Eventually, I gathered the green words together: CLUSTER, COLLECT, CONCENTRATE and GROUP are all words about focusing or amassing a quantity. Green group done.<\/p>\n The last two were confusing, mostly because I really wasn\u2019t sure how something like CHEMISE fit into the picture. That\u2019s a type of nightwear or lingerie. I thought it might be medical stuff \u2013 CALCIUM and WEIGHT and so forth, but that still didn\u2019t fit. Finally, I realized that JUICE, PULL, SWAY and WEIGHT all could mean types of influence you hold or carry. I have juice with the dock workers, and pull with the wise guys down at the bar and hold sway over the shop owners, and my word carries weight with the politicians. That sort of thing. That only left purple.<\/p>\n These were, as always, the trickiest of the bunch because they literally have nothing to do with one another. A BIOPIC is a movie about someone\u2019s life. TRIGLYCERIDEs are a type of fat, or lipid, found in the blood. But each one has the same first few letters as an abbreviated math or science class: BIOlogy, CALCulus, CHEMistry, TRIGonometry. You refer to these classes as bio, calc, chem and trig for short.<\/p>\n All told, a reasonably challenging puzzle!
