Why the date says July 1, 2025
This is a historical guide to puzzle #751, not a claim about the current daily puzzle. TechRadar dated its guide June 30, 2025, and noted that Connections appears at midnight in each time zone; Parade’s guide is dated July 1. Both identify #751 with the July 1, 2025 puzzle and report the same four groups. TechRadar’s July 1, 2025 guide and Parade’s July 1, 2025 guide independently confirm the answer key.
