If you want the NYT Connections hints and answers for July 26, 2024, you don’t need to look further. Similar to Strands and Wordle, this The New York Times puzzle involves words. But instead of focusing on the letters, it’s about finding out how certain words can be grouped together. This can be due to words having similar definitions, but sometimes it isn’t as obvious as that. We found the yellow and green group easy to figure out, whereas the purple one will force you to think outside of the box. Overall, it’s slightly easier than the puzzle from July 25. Here is the Connections answer for 07/26/2024, along with several hints to help you along your way to the solution.

What are the NYT Connections answers for July 26?
Here are the NYT Connections answers for July 26, 2024. We will reveal which four words belong in which colored group, going from yellow (easiest), to green, blue, and purple (hardest).
- Yellow Group Answer: Basic Directions
- DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, UP
- Green Group Answer: Advocate For
- BACK, CHAMPION, ENDORSE, SUPPORT
- Blue Group Answer: Drawback
- CON, DING, MINUS, STRIKE
- Purple Group Answer: Instrument Homophones
- BASE, LIAR, LOOT, SYMBOL
As you might suspect, the purple group is difficult to work out. If you have some experience with Connections, though, homophones have been the theme for the purple category before. Otherwise, you’ll likely need to figure out the blue group, so that you’re left with the last four words in the puzzle. On that front, the blue group shouldn’t be too hard if you’re able to form a connection between “con” and “minus.”
