The NYT Connections puzzle for July 9 loved its taste of chronicling events and making a mess of hair. I began by solving the Yellow category and as someone who journals on the daily, I knew these words immediately. While I can’t relate to the Green category since I keep my hair tidy, I figured these words out fairly easily.
The Blue category itself was solved fairly easily because I have religiously seen Freinds and Scrubs.
With only four words left as always, I combined them together to get the Purple category and the NYT Connections for July 9.
