NYT Connections today (game #752) – the answers

(Image credit: New York Times)
The answers to today’s Connections, game #752, are…

YELLOW: KNOCKOFF BOOTLEG, COPY, FAKE, REPLICA
BLUE: WORDS AFTER “T-” MOBILE, PAIN, REX, SHIRT
GREEN: ASSOCIATED WITH FREUD DREAMS, ID, OEDIPUS, SLIP
PURPLE: STARTING WITH HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE ABBREVIATIONS FRESHWATER, JUNIPER, SENECA, SOPHOCLES

My rating: Hard
My score: Fail

Back in the day when I was a music journalist, someone used my name to blag free gig tickets and they were going out having much more fun than I was. I only found out when I turned up at a concert once and was refused entry. I mention this because a KNOCKOFF is not always easy to spot – unlike today’s yellow group, which was a doddle.
The rest of today’s Connections were really tough. I thought I’d cracked the code when I got WORDS AFTER “T-”, but the last two groups destroyed me.
Thinking that there must be a group connected by philosophy, I tried OEDIPUS, SENECA, and SOPHOCLES and added JUNIPER out of ignorance.
This gave me a “one away”, but I used up all my remaining guesses trying to complete a non-existent group. What Freud would have to say about that I don’t know, but I suspect it’d be something to do with my dreams of my mother doing crosswords.
How did you do today? Let me know in the comments below.

Yesterday’s NYT Connections answers (Tuesday, July 1, game #751)

YELLOW: STEAL NICK, PALM, PINCH, POCKET
GREEN: DAPPER NEAT, SHARP, SMART, TIDY
BLUE: DO SOME GROOMING BRUSH, DRESS, SHAVE, SHOWER
PURPLE: ___STONE BIRTH, KEY, MILE, TOUCH

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final one, as you’ll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It’s a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It’s playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

Johnny is a freelance pop culture journalist who has been writing about the internet, music, football and famous people since the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye. Previously known by the pseudonym the Pop Detective, his journalistic career began making up stories about Madonna’s addiction to sausage rolls (this is not true by the way). A man of few talents, his career is rich and various and includes the highs of interviewing Elton John and Blur; and the lows of interviewing Right Said Fred, appearing on a Channel 5 documentary about Peter Kay, and fact-checking the instruction manual for a German cooker. Somehow still affording to live in North London he is at his happiest riding his bicycle and shouting at pigeons.
