July 2 Connections category clues
Ready for the category names? The four groups are KNOCKOFF, ASSOCIATED WITH FREUD, WORDS AFTER “T-”, and STARTING WITH HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE ABBREVIATIONS.
Full answers for NYT Connections #752
| Color | Category | Words |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow | Knockoff | BOOTLEG, COPY, FAKE, REPLICA |
| Green | Associated with Freud | DREAMS, ID, OEDIPUS, SLIP |
| Blue | Words after “T-” | MOBILE, PAIN, REX, SHIRT |
| Purple | Starting with high school/college abbreviations | FRESHWATER, JUNIPER, SENECA, SOPHOCLES |
Why the groups fit
- Yellow: Bootleg, copy, fake, and replica can each refer to an imitation or unauthorized version.
- Green: Dreams, the id, the Oedipus complex, and a slip are associated with Freudian ideas.
- Blue: Add each word to “T-” to make T-Mobile, T-pain, T-Rex, and T-shirt.
- Purple: The words begin with abbreviations for school or college class levels: FR (freshman), JR (junior), SR (senior), and SO (sophomore). The words themselves are not a set by ordinary meaning.
How Connections works—and replaying older puzzles
The New York Times Help Center describes Connections as a puzzle in which players sort 16 words into groups of four. Each group has a color; yellow is the easiest and purple the trickiest, and some words may seem to fit more than one category. Read the official Connections help page for the game’s rules and current access details.
