Today’sConnectionspuzzle has some interesting anatomy. The words are very well interconnected, making it hard to sort out the categories and which one belongs to which. Today specifically there are a lot of words that actually have to do with anatomy as well.

Today’s Connections Category Hints
JULY 24 #408
To give you a better start on the puzzle, there are some hints about the categories before we get into spoilers. Today’s categories can be difficult to parse out, so these hints can help you try to sort them out on your own.
There are a lot of different ways to interpret the words in today’s puzzle and multiple categories that those words can fit into. With that in mind, you can perhaps better attune your guesses if you have the following category names:
RIB
TEASE
Some tricksters are hiding amongst these joke words, mainly in the form of KID and RIB. There are a lot of other body parts in the other categories today, and KID is also a word for a baby animal. This can make it hard to distinguish between them and I would actuallyrecommend waiting to guess until you have looked at the other options to eliminate those two wordsfrom other categories.
THIGH
WING
This category had some of the same issues, as SHOULDER could also fit in here and RIB could have as well before I knew the specific category. We’reable to eliminate SHOULDER first, as I noticed the word BARGE and thought they might go together. After that, it was a matter of deciding between TENDER and RIB, and I guessed that RIB likely went with TEASE for the previous category.
10 Best Connections Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.
FAWN
KIT
This category I actually guessed last, even though it looks quite straightforward. However, CALF looked like it could go with SHOULDER and RIB and I had toput KID in the first category before I eliminated it from the options here. Some of these words were not kidding around today, but luckily I managed to put the distinctions together before I ran out of guesses.
MUSCLE
SHOULDER
This one had SHOULDER but no other words that really belonged elsewhere which ironicallymade the hardest category a little easier. MUSCLE and JOSTLE could go with some of the other words, but barging past them is not as hard because they do not have as many different meanings as compared to some of the words that were easier to misplace. This was a bit lucky for us, and I was able to keep my streak today.
