Solving NYT Connections Puzzle #765 – July 15 Answers and Strategy Talk
Alright, let’s talk about today’s New York Times Connections puzzle for July 15, game #765. If you’re someone like me who jumps into these puzzles each morning with coffee in hand, you know the thrill of making those “aha!” connections. Today’s edition had some clever twists, and honestly, it wasn't the most brutal one — but there were definitely a few curveballs.
Let’s dive into how the puzzle played out. As usual, there were 16 words and four color-coded categories to decipher: yellow (easiest), green, blue, and the infamous purple (which always throws in a wildcard or a pun). If you haven’t tried it yet, Connections challenges you to group the words into four sets of four that share a hidden relationship — and no, it’s never as easy as it first looks.
So first up, the yellow group . The hint here was "Simone Biles knows these well." That was the giveaway. We're talking gymnastics apparatus . The answers? Bars , Beam , Rings , and Vault . That one clicked pretty quickly. If you’ve ever watched Olympic gymnastics, you probably flew through it like a pro.

Moving to the green group , things got a little more abstract. The hint was "Get out!" — and it pointed toward ways to force someone to leave . After some trial and error, the four turned out to be Boot , Bounce , Eject , and Remove . It’s always satisfying when you land these action-based sets — they almost always sound like they're shouting at you.
Now the blue group was definitely for the horror fans. The clue? "Spooky cinema." And the answers? Nope , Pearl , Scream , and Smile — all horror flicks from 2022. This one really shows how Connections loves dipping into pop culture. If you're not caught up on recent movies, this could’ve tripped you up.
Finally, the purple group , aka the "What on earth are they thinking?" group. The clue was just one word: "Neigh!" Which sent my brain straight to horses. The category? Horse ____ . The answers? Feathers , Play , Power , and Shoe . Definitely the trickiest of the bunch. If you didn’t think about compound phrases like “horsepower” or “horseplay,” this one might’ve eaten a couple of your mistakes.
All in all, Connections #765 was balanced — a fun mix of logic, pop culture, and a splash of linguistic mischief. What I love about this puzzle is how it trains your brain to look at words sideways. It’s not just about vocabulary; it’s about how things relate in the strangest, smartest ways.
So whether you nailed it in one go or burned through your four mistakes, today’s puzzle gave us a good ride. If you’re new to Connections or want to sharpen your skills, here’s a tip: shuffle those tiles often and say the words out loud — you’d be surprised what your brain picks up when it hears the rhythm of common phrases.
Catch you tomorrow for another round — and let’s see what twists the purple group throws at us next!
