Hints for Connections #764
These clues progress from broad to more specific. The first set is Parade’s wording; the category-level hints also reflect TechRadar’s guide.
- Think paint and crayon names.
- Vroom-vroom.
- King Friday XIII and Queen Sara Saturday.
- Twist some Disney names.
Parade’s four clues point, in order, toward shades of blue, descriptions of a fast car, familiar words paired with Roger or Rogers, and Disney character names changed by adding a letter. Read Parade’s July 14 guide.

The red herring in the word bank
TechRadar’s author says SPORTY, GINGER, SCARY, and BABY initially suggested a Spice Girls grouping, but that was a trap. The guide also recounts a mistaken attempt to group words around winter sports surfaces, before the “Roger/s” set was found by deduction. These are the guide author’s reported solving impressions, not official puzzle clues. TechRadar’s game #764 guide.
