Clue connection to watch
The linked entries are 4-Across and 1-Down: JEANS are blue attire made of DENIM, and DENIM is the blue material in JEANS. If one answer is uncertain, the crossing entry confirms it. The other clues point directly to familiar definitions or references, such as UNITE for “Bring together” and JUDO for “Olympic martial art.”
About the date and answer set
The title “September 10” is ambiguous without a year. This answer set is for the likely intended 2026 edition, based on matching date-specific coverage from Parade and Try Hard Guides. Those guides agree on all ten entries, and a third date-stamped report lists the same answers; no official NYT archive page was available to verify them directly. The DNA clue’s “about 99%” wording is reproduced as puzzle text, not presented here as an independently checked genetics statistic.
