We are back with the NYT’s latest edition of Connections for July 2, 2025. Yesterday’s puzzle featured clues related to theft, grooming, the feeling after grooming, and a common word before “stone.” These hints were quite easy, especially for experienced players.
So, let’s explore the clues and answers for today’s game of Connections.
Connections hint for July 2
Below are all the hints for the NYT Connections of July 2, 2025. The sixteen words for today’s puzzle are: Copy, Juniper, Mobile, Dreams, Freshwater, Id, Sophocles, Bootleg, Seneca, Replica, Slip, Shirt, Fake, Oedipus, Pain, and Rex.
Connections is quite different from Wordle, Crosswords, and Strands. In this, you need to arrange the sixteen words into four groups by guessing their common link.
- Yellow group – This is not real
- Green group – Related to a popular psychoanalysis theory by a neurologist
- Blue group – Just add a common letter before these words
- Purple group – Connected with schooling
What are the Connections answers for today, July 2?
Here are the answers to Connections for July 2, 2025.
- Yellow group answer – Knockoff
Bootleg, Copy, Fake, Replica - Green group answer – Associated with Freud
Dreams, Id, Oedipus, Slip - Blue group answer – Words After “T-“
Mobile, Pain, Rex, Shirt - Purple group answer – Starting with High School/College Abbreviation
Freshwater, Juniper, Seneca, Sophocles
Today’s game was another mind refresher. The first group was the easiest, as players only needed to guess words associated with fakeness. The Green group is a little tricky, especially for players not familiar with Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis theory. However, regular players might have guessed it easily. The third group also looks straightforward, as it requires identifying common words that follow the letter “T.” However, the Purple group is quite challenging, especially after the comparatively easier hints in the last three games.
That’s all for today! Come back for help and hints for the next game of Connections.
