New York Times Connections Hints and Answers for #410 July…

Connections is a short, daily word game from the New York Times Games. Every day, it gives you a selection of seemingly-random words that need to be sorted into categories. Other than the words themselves, you don't get a single clue for what the categories might be.

And today's puzzle is much more challenging than the rules of Connections might make it sound. There are so many overlapping words that could go in several categories, and there are also a lot of red herring word combinations as well. If you are running out of tries and want to win, this article can help.
