We\u2019ll be getting into spoilers for today\u2019s game pretty quickly.

Welcome to my deeper dive into today\u2019s Connections <\/em>answers. The idea behind this is to help clear things up for anyone who isn\u2019t sure how today\u2019s groups fit together.<\/p>\n If I\u2019ve missed any red herrings or misunderstood something, let me know via email or on Discord<\/a>. I don\u2019t typically look at X or check the comments here. <\/p>\n I\u2019m going to assume that you\u2019ve already beaten today\u2019s game. We\u2019re going straight into spoiler territory<\/strong> here. So, consider this your one and only warning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here are today\u2019s NYT Connections<\/em> answers explained (and any red herrings I spot) for Thursday, June 4:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe8 painting media (ACRYLIC, GOUACHE, OIL, TEMPERA)<\/p>\n ACRYLIC is a fast-drying type of paint, while OIL dries much more slowly.<\/p>\n GOUACHE (from my understanding) is a more opaque version of watercolor paint. <\/p>\n According to Wikipedia, TEMPERA \u201cis a permanent, fast-drying painting medium consisting of pigments mixed with a water-soluble binder medium, usually glutinous material such as egg yolk.\u201d <\/p>\n Yeah, I had no idea about either of the latter two.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe9 espirit (GUSTO, PANACHE, VERVE, VINEGAR)<\/p>\n These are all words that refer to having lots of energy, enthusiasm and wit. Like a stage performer might have, for instance.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfe6 starts of classic hip-hop groups (BEASTIE, PUBLIC, RUN, SALT)<\/p>\n These refer to:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udfea ghost _____ (KITCHEN, PEPPER, TOWN, WRITER)<\/p>\n A ghost KITCHEN is also known as a virtual restaurant. It only offers delivery and pick-up for orders made in advance online or by phone. There\u2019s no dine-in option.<\/p>\n A ghost PEPPER is an extremely hot chili pepper. <\/p>\n A ghost TOWN is a human settlement that has been abandoned.<\/p>\n A ghost WRITER is someone who writes a book, script, social media post or other text that\u2019s credited to someone else. It\u2019s also the name of a fun kids\u2019 TV show (I prefered the original version):<\/p>\n Connections often has some red herrings. Let’s take a look at today’s (assuming I spotted any).<\/span><\/p>\n SSPL via Getty Images<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n SALT, PEPPER, VINEGAR and OIL formed a red herring today!<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to chat about today\u2019s game of Connections <\/em>and just about anything else with me and a very lovely group of people, you can do just that in our Discord community<\/a>. We\u2019d love for you to hang out with us. <\/p>\n I\u2019ll be back with another set of NYT Connections<\/em> hints and answers tomorrow, as well as another edition of this one, all going well. You\u2019ll be able to find both of those on my Forbes <\/em>author page when the time comes (following me there helps me out too!). As for the weekend editions of my NYT Connections<\/em> hints and answers column, I\u2019m currently doing that via my newsletter, Pastimes<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
