Today's Connections Hints & Answers For August 10, 2024 (Puzzle #425)

If you are having trouble working out today's puzzle, you are in luck! We have a few hints and tricks for you to help you get the answers to solve the day. We all know what it is like to struggle with a difficult puzzle and feel like it's impossible. While we worked alone, you fortunately have us to help you along the way.

If you want even more puzzling goodness, you can check out the daily NYT puzzle. It has the same sort of logical deductions you need to make in, but it has a slightly different feel. You only get a certain number of guesses and your letter choices are increasingly limited. If you get lucky, you will hopefully solve the puzzle in just a couple rows so that you can show it off to all your puzzling friends.

Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.

There are several challenges in today's puzzle, and the usual «easy» category is not actually the easiest one. To get some more hints before we give answers, check out the following tips:

There are a few tricky words in these categories, and some of the options look like they belong elsewhere. Some look like they may not belong anywhere at all. If you still need a boost, check out the category names below:

THINGS THAT ARE RED

BE IN COMMISSION

MICROSOFT PRODUCTS

BIOPICS

THINGS THAT ARE RED

DEVIL

MARS

ROSE

STRAWBERRIES

None of these things are red the time, and I take issue with that. I would have thought it would be slightly more connected than just a simple color, but that is not how today's puzzle was constructed.

MARS is probably the thing that is red more than anything else for the longest amount of time, but it is also a candy bar that would go well with STRAWBERRY and milk from another category. There are a lot of ways to miss the mark here, but hopefully you figure it out before it makes you see red as well.
