Today’s Connections Hints & Answers For July 24, 2024 (Puzzle #408)

Today’s Connections puzzle has some interesting anatomy. The words are very well interconnected, making it hard to sort out the categories and which one belongs to which. Today specifically there are a lot of words that actually have to do with anatomy as well.

If you like making Connections between words, try out the Vertex puzzle for connections between dots. By making these connections you will also make an image at the end of the puzzle that looks quite aesthetically pleasing. It is a great way to wind down at the end of the day and not have to think about any words.

Today’s Connections Category Hints

JULY 24 #408

To give you a better start on the puzzle, there are some hints about the categories before we get into spoilers. Today’s categories can be difficult to parse out, so these hints can help you try to sort them out on your own.

• One category is not about bones of the body
• One category is about things you can eat
• One category is about smaller versions of things
• One category is about how you move

There are a lot of different ways to interpret the words in today’s puzzle and multiple categories that those words can fit into. With that in mind, you can perhaps better attune your guesses if you have the following category names:

	JOKE AROUND WITH
	POULTRY CUTS
	BABY ANIMALS
	PUSH THROUGH A CROWD

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

JOKE AROUND WITH
KID	RAZZ	RIB	TEASE

Some tricksters are hiding amongst these joke words, mainly in the form of KID and RIB. There are a lot of other body parts in the other categories today, and KID is also a word for a baby animal. This can make it hard to distinguish between them and I would actually recommend waiting to guess until you have looked at the other options to eliminate those two words from other categories.

Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

POULTRY CUTS
BREAST	TENDER	THIGH	WING

This category had some of the same issues, as SHOULDER could also fit in here and RIB could have as well before I knew the specific category. We’re able to eliminate SHOULDER first, as I noticed the word BARGE and thought they might go together. After that, it was a matter of deciding between TENDER and RIB, and I guessed that RIB likely went with TEASE for the previous category.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

BABY ANIMALS
CALF	CUB	FAWN	KIT

This category I actually guessed last, even though it looks quite straightforward. However, CALF looked like it could go with SHOULDER and RIB and I had to put KID in the first category before I eliminated it from the options here. Some of these words were not kidding around today, but luckily I managed to put the distinctions together before I ran out of guesses.

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

PUSH THROUGH A CROWD
BARGE	JOSTLE	MUSCLE	SHOULDER

This one had SHOULDER but no other words that really belonged elsewhere which ironically made the hardest category a little easier. MUSCLE and JOSTLE could go with some of the other words, but barging past them is not as hard because they do not have as many different meanings as compared to some of the words that were easier to misplace. This was a bit lucky for us, and I was able to keep my streak today.
