NYT Connections today — my hints and answers for Friday, January 10 (game #579)

Good morning! Let’s dive into the latest challenge from the New York Times – Connections game #579. Today’s task is to categorize words like DEPEND, HINGE, RELY, REST under the yellow group “BE CONTINGENT (ON)”, while grouping words like CHILL, EASY, ENOUGH, RELAX under the green category “CALM DOWN”. The blue category “INGREDIENTS IN AN OLD FASHIONED” involves words like BITTERS, ORANGE, RYE, SUGAR, and the purple group “FEATURED IN THE MONTY HALL PROBLEM” includes CAR, DOOR, GOAT, HOST.
If you’re curious about yesterday’s NYT Connections game #578 answers or need a refresher, they were categorized as VENDOR’S SPOT AT A MARKET (BOOTH, STALL, STAND, TABLE), DOG COMMANDS (COME, HEEL, SIT, STAY), CORPORATE DEPARTMENTS (FINANCE, IT, LEGAL, SALES), and LAST WORDS IN “AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL” (FROM, SEA, SHINING, TO).
For those new to NYT Connections, it’s a word game series challenging players to group items that share a common theme. With varying difficulty levels, from easy (green) to very challenging (purple), the game allows up to four mistakes. Unlike simpler games like Wordle, Connections can trick you with homophones and other wordplay.
