<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><em><strong>NYT Connections Answers: </strong></em></span>The New York Times daily word game, Connections, dropped its February 10 puzzle today, and it gave players a nice brain workout. The goal was simple on paper: sort 16 words into four hidden groups, but the real challenge was spotting the right links. Some words looked like they belonged together but were actually traps.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>That&rsquo;s what makes this game fun and tricky at the same time. If today&rsquo;s puzzle slowed you down, here&rsquo;s a clear, easy guide with all the hints and the full solution.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>What Is Connections &amp; How Do You Play?</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Connections is a daily word puzzle where you see 16 words on your screen. Your job is to put them into four groups of four based on a shared theme. Every word fits in only one group. The hard part is that some words look like they could fit in more than one place. That&rsquo;s how the puzzle tries to fool you.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>For example, &ldquo;Hook,&rdquo; &ldquo;Nana,&rdquo; &ldquo;Peter,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Wendy&rdquo; are all Peter Pan characters. Another example is &ldquo;Action,&rdquo; &ldquo;Ballpark,&rdquo; &ldquo;Go,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Stick,&rdquo; which all go before the word &ldquo;Figure.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>You are allowed only four mistakes. If you get four groups wrong, the game ends and shows the answers. Each group also has a colour that shows how hard it is:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(easiest)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Green </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(easy)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Blue </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(medium)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Purple </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(hardest)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>It&rsquo;s quick to play but not always easy to win. You need to look closely and think about word meanings and patterns.</span></p>

<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Only two themes contain four-letter words.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>One help word from each group:</span></p>
<ul>

<p><strong>Full Solution for February 10:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow (Exhibition):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Convention, Exposition, Fair, Show</span></li>

</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Today&rsquo;s puzzle had a fun mix. The events group was easier once you saw words like &ldquo;fair&rdquo; and &ldquo;show.&rdquo; The movie extras group clicked fast for film fans.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The spelt-out letter sounds like &ldquo;Okay&rdquo; and &ldquo;Emcee&rdquo; were a clever twist. The wheel-part starter words were the trickiest and needed careful reading. A smart and satisfying puzzle overall.</span></p>
