NYT Connections Today: Friday, July 18 Hints And Answers (#768)

Find the links between the words to win today's game of Connections. Each day's game of NYT Connections goes live at midnight local time. Before we get to today's Connections hints and answers, here are Thursday's: Hey there, Connectors! The weekend is almost upon us and I hope you make the most of it, whatever that means to you :). I really enjoy watching The Chase, a quiz show that's been running in the U.K. for quite a few years. It's a fun format, and I like to play along (obviously, I'd do soooo much better than most of those who appear on it). One contestant who appeared on an episode this week was a retired cop. When asked why he joined the force, he said that he'd encountered police as a young anarchist. His wife bet him £50 that he couldn't become a cop. He felt he had to prove her wrong. The contestant said he ended up quite enjoying the job in the end. Still, that seems like a very small sum (in addition to a police force salary, I suppose) to sell one's beliefs for. Before we begin, we have a great little community on Discord, where we chat about NYT Connections, the rest of the NYT games and all kinds of other stuff. Everyone who has joined has been lovely. It's a fun hangout spot, and you're more than welcome to hang out with us. Discord is also the best way to give me any feedback about the column, especially on the rare (or not-so-rare) occasions that I mess something up. I don't look at the comments or Twitter much.

How To Play Connections Connections is a free, popular New York Times daily word game. You get a new puzzle at midnight every day. You can play on the NYT's website or Games app. You're presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to arrange them into four groups of four by figuring out the links between them. The groups could be things like items you can click, names for research study participants or words preceded by a body part. There's only one solution for each puzzle, and you'll need to be careful when it comes to words that might fit into more than one category. You can shuffle the words to perhaps help you see links between them. Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to figure out, blue and green fall in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult one. The purple group often involves wordplay. Select four words you think go together and press Submit. If you make a guess and you're incorrect, you'll lose a life. If you're close to having a correct group, you might see a message telling you that you're one word away from getting it right, but you'll still need 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 the help of some hints, and, if you're really struggling, today's Connections answers. As with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats. If you have an NYT All Access or Games subscription, you can access the publication's Connections archive. This includes every previous game of Connections, so you can go back and play any of those that you have missed.

The See Spot Run reference on the top line was cute. I enjoyed that. But not for long, because we've got some serious business to take care of. Swapping NOTE for RUN on the top line and grouping those words together got me the greens. Easy enough! Seeing STREAK and RUN next to each other made the yellows clear enough after that. It took me a little while to figure out where to go next, but GUITAR kept drawing my eye. EEL seemed a little out of place and after a few moments of thinking, I had that dopamine rush of an "aha!" moment. They're both electric things! So are BLANKET and SLIDE (a type of dance). That left me with the blues. I had no idea about those at all, though in hindsight I knew BRIDGE and COW were yoga poses. So I was fine with getting those by default. I'm pleased to get yet another win on the board and with a perfect game too. That brings my win streak up to 143 wins.

South Londoner who kidnapped woman in 'callous' attack dies in prison after vaping synthetic drug

A man who taped up a woman, bundled her into a car boot, then hit her with a dog chain, has died in prison after vaping synthetic drugs. George Emmett, 25, was found collapsed in his cell at HMP Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire in May 2023, having returned to prison on license for knife possession following his release from a five year stretch for kidnapping a woman in Kent in 2016. A Prison and Probation Ombudsman report details how Emmet died at a time when psychoactive substance use was rife in the prison, causing the death of another prisoner just 10 days before. Emmett had a history of cannabis misuse and was trying to quit, however an investigation found traces of synthetic cannabis in his vape and the pathologist concluded he probably died from drug use. Emmett, then aged 18, took part in a brutal attack on a woman, using baseball bat, knuckleduster, and her own dog chain. The court heard the victim met Emmett in Chatham over a £2,000 debt, but when she arrived two men, Kaswayne Williams, from Peckham, and female Sheneqwa Delpratt, from Walworth, rolled up in a black Ford Focus and wrestled her into the car, reports News Shopper.

At Burgess Park in Southwark, Williams threatened the woman with a firearm. The victim was then dragged out of the car and beaten with a metal baseball bat - a sock stuff inside her mouth ensured no one could hear her scream. Investigating officer Detective Constable Matthew Lincoln called it 'quite possibly the most callous acts of violence I have ever investigated in 15 years as a police officer', while also highlighting Emmett's lack of empathy. The Ombudsman found the substance misuse care offered to Emmett was 'insufficient', but made no recommendations for improvement to the prison. They also noted Emmett was the fourth inmate to die at the prison since May 2020, and that by May 2024 there had been one further death that is still under investigation.
