NYT ‘Connections' Hints For Tuesday, June 10: Clues And Answers For Today's Game
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 Monday's:
Hey there, Connectors! I hope your week is off to a great start.
It's official: summer is finally here. Technically, it's 11 days early, but still, I know this to be true. I know it because after months of pain and waiting the pool in my building is finally open. As I write this, I haven't had a chance to dip in yet. But rest assured, I'll be swimming as much as I can over the next few months.
I prefer to do so either after immediately after I wrap up work for the day or later at night when it's quiet and no one else is around. It's quite lovely. Anyway, yes, can't wait to get back in there as soon as I have some free time and the air is safe enough (thanks for disrupting my weekend plans, wildfires).
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. You can also read my weekend editions of this column at my new newsletter, Pastimes.

Today's NYT Connections hints and answers for Tuesday, June 10 are coming right up.
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.
Aside from the first 60 games or so, you should be able to find our hints Google if you need them! Just click here and add the date of the game for which you need clues or the answers to the search query.
Scroll slowly! Just after the hints for each of today's Connections groups, I'll reveal what the groups are without immediately telling you which words go into them.

MEDIATE made the yellows crystal clear, immediately nullifying that JUDGE and JURY red herring. TEXT BOX did the same for the greens (I assume WORD was supposed to be a trap here). Two groups down in no time at all.
Because I am a person of a certain age (but still young!), RADICAL shed light on what I assumed were the blues. Naturally, I sent through what I imagined were the purples first. Or at least I tried to, because I accidentally included CHILL instead of HEAVY. Oops.
I didn't figure out that connection, but I probably should have. "JURY duty" was probably my entry point there. (I considered using "Call of" in the hint, but that might have made things too easy!)
Anyway, I then sent the blues through to wrap things up. I'm not going to explain these ones, because I simply cannot imagine that anyone doesn't use these all the time. I say rad, WORD and CHILL very often. (In case you were wondering, the hint referenced Wicked and Bad.)
I should have had a perfect game, but that's still win 105 for my current streak. For the record, here's how I fared:

P.S. I do love a danceable indie pop tune and "Little Bit" by Lykke Li is certainly one of those. I have danced to this one many times, both at home and in clubs. It felt like this was everywhere for a while, and even now, I pretty much never skip it when it comes up on my massive everyday playlist. Such a gem of a song:
Have a great day! Stay hydrated! Be kind to yourself and others! Call someone you love!

100 Chicago men treated to Father's Day makeover, including haircuts, photoshoots, and more
A hundred men in Chicago were treated to a special Father's Day makeover experience on Monday. The Daisie Foundation partnered with two other nonprofits to provide the men with barber treatments, mini photoshoots, personal styling, and special gifts. The men also received lunch and a panel highlighting successful men from diverse backgrounds. The event served as a way to recognize the impact, sacrifice, and contributions of the fathers. One of the participating dads said he felt the love. "It's really rewarding to get pampered," Darry Smith said. "Normally, you hear it happening to the women and not the men, but for them to offer the fathers a chance to be pampered is a rewarding experience." In case you forgot, Father's Day is this Sunday, June 15.

Where Has the Original Cast of ‘Hamilton' Been? We've Got Answers.
It has been nearly 10 years since the original cast of 'Hamilton' hit Broadway, igniting an international frenzy and becoming the biggest phenomenon the Great White Way had seen in years. On Sunday, 28 members from that cast reunited on the Tonys stage to perform a whirlwind medley of the show's biggest numbers. They performed portions of 'Non-Stop,' 'My Shot,' 'The Schuyler Sisters,' 'Guns and Ships,' 'You'll Be Back,' 'Yorktown,' 'The Room Where It Happens' and 'History Has Its Eyes on You.' At the 2016 Tonys, 'Hamilton' earned 16 nominations and won 11 prizes. Soon after, many of its cast members left the show to take time off or to pursue other projects. Here is a rundown of where everyone has been since that momentous opening run. Lin-Manuel Miranda Miranda transformed Broadway with 'Hamilton,' which he wrote and starred in, playing the founding father Alexander Hamilton. Miranda's rise to the top of Hollywood began after he left the show in 2016. That year he contributed to the score of 'Moana,' the animated feature, earning an Academy Award nomination for the original song 'How Far I'll Go.' Years later he earned another Oscar nomination for the original song 'Dos Oruguitas' from the animated film 'Encanto.' He also wrote for other musical films including, 'Mufasa: The Lion King' and 'The Little Mermaid,' the live-action remake starring Halle Bailey. He played Jack in 'Mary Poppins Returns' opposite Emily Blunt in 2018 and starred as the piragüero in the 2021 film adaptation of 'In the Heights,' the Broadway show he and Quiara Alegría Hudes created.

Justin Baldoni's $400M lawsuit against Blake Lively dismissed
A judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's $400 million complaint against Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds on Monday. Baldoni had sued Lively and claimed the actress "falsely" accused him of sexual harassment in an attempt to repair her reputation following the fallout around the "It Ends With Us" press tour after she allegedly took control of the film. "The Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Lively is responsible for any statements other than the statements in her CRD complaint, which are privileged," Judge Lewis Liman wrote in an opinion and order obtained by Fox News Digital. "The Wayfarer Parties have alleged that Reynolds and [publicist Leslie] Sloane made additional statements accusing Baldoni of sexual misconduct and that the Times made additional statements accusing the Wayfarer Parties of engaging in a smear campaign. But the Wayfarer Parties have not alleged that Reynolds, Sloane or the Times would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them, as is required for them to be liable for defamation under applicable law." "The Wayfarer Parties' additional claims also fail," the judge added. "Accordingly, the Amended Complaint must be dismissed in its entirety."
