NYT Connections answers for July 9, 2025
The four groups and their words are:
Parts of a college campus
- CAFETERIA
- DORM
- LIBRARY
- QUAD
Exaggerated, as a performance
- CAMP
- DRAMATIC
- HAMMY
- OVERDONE
Close in on
- CORNER
- SURROUND
- TRAP
- TREE
Starts of Greek letters
- BET
- DELT
- LAMB
- THE
Why these groups can be tricky
Connections asks players to sort 16 words into four related groups. Some words can appear to fit more than one category, so it helps to test the relationship shared by all four words rather than committing as soon as one possible link appears.
For this puzzle, the Greek-letter group consists of word beginnings: BET, DELT, LAMB and THE start the names beta, delta, lambda and theta. The campus group, by contrast, names four places associated with a college.
