NYT ‘Connections’ Hints Today: Clues and Answers for Sunday, February 9
As we dive into today’s Connections game, I’m thrilled to share my perfect score, which brings my overall streak to three wins in a row. This achievement is truly one for the books.
Let me break down how I approached this puzzle. Initially, I suspected a theme revolving around sci-fi movies, with options like TRON, ALIEN, DUNE, and AVATAR. However, I didn’t want to overlook the possibility that these franchises could be categorized under different aspects, such as CHARACTER, INDIVIDUAL, or PERSON.
Since none of my lives were used at this point, I decided to follow my initial instinct and eliminate the yellows first. The greens weren’t difficult to solve either. Afterward, I needed more time to think about how PARTY could be connected to the remaining words.
Upon further contemplation, it became clear that a PERSON can indeed be considered a PARTY of one. This insight allowed me to unlock the purples and, consequently, the entire puzzle.
