To be honest, figuring out August 2 NYT Connections puzzle hints was more difficult than the actual game itself. I began by solving the Yellow category and while the section didn’t test my patience, my co-workers sure did.
The Green category came next and the only thing running through my mind was Black Mirror and that one episode (ifkyk). The Blue category on the other hand was right up my alley.
With only four words left, I got them all together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for August 2.
