Connections Answer for February 8
Are you still stuck with the puzzle? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections are:
- ARCHERY EQUIPMENT – Arrow, Bow, Quiver, Target
- CARD GAMES – Bridge, Gin, Spit, War
- WALLOP – Belt, Clock, Deck, Slug

The NYT Connections for today was quite a weird mix of everything together. I started out with the Yellow category and got all the archery-related words nailed down quite quickly.
The Green category today was quite hard. Truth be told, I have never heard of a card game called “Spit.” Once I got past that shock by Googling, I combined it with my other choices and got it. As for the Blue category, well, that was easy enough. I have heard the terms “Decking” and “Slugging” someone.
Once I got through that, there were only four words left. I combined them all together and got the Purple category and the NYT Connections for February 8.
