Welcome to the weekend, everyone! There are a lot of fun things to do this Saturday in October that don’t involve pumpkin spice. If you’re not interested in seeing the movie “Joker: Folie à Deux,” there are other great Gotham-themed films you can watch instead. But before you do that, let’s tackle today’s word puzzle.

The New York Times Connections puzzle is back with 16 words that you need to group together based on a common theme. Take your time and think carefully before making your choices. Today’s words are JACUZZI, BIKINI, HANGER, X-RAY, Q-TIP, TOOTHBRUSH, G-STRING, CHAPSTICK, T-BONE, XEROX, HIPSTER, SKIRT, DRILL, FLEET, SINK, and THONG.

For the yellow group, the words are FILET, HANGER, SKIRT, and T-BONE, which all belong to the category of Steak Cuts. Moving on to the blue group, the words DRILL, SINK, TOOTHBRUSH, and X-RAY are all related to things you might find at a dentist’s office, known as Involved in a Dentist Visit.

The green group consists of BIKINI, G-STRING, HIPSTER, and THONG, which are all different types of underwear. Lastly, the purple group includes CHAPSTICK, JACUZZI, Q-TIP, and XEROX, which are Brands That Have Become Generic Terms.
