NYT Games: Wordle and Connection, JULY 9th

hi guys, im ayijpob from HLTV forum. currently im playing NYT Games and Mobile Legends.
this video is part of my series: NYT Games
where i solve Daily Games from New York Times app, particularly Wordle and Connection, as soon as it available in my app.
my target is be the FIRST ONE to share the solved solution to the whole world.
rules for solving the games:
1. only use TRANSLATE for SYNONYM or MEANING
2. only use SEARCH for DETAILED KNOWLEDGE i dont know
disclaimer: English is not my native, so any help from GOOGLE is needed
commentary:
after my favourite opening, my luck give me 4 letters, so i try 2 quick solves, but all fail. then i pause for quick thought and decide to use the 5th answer to decide the last letter and boom, it is BLARE.
i think MAZE and TANGLE can be one category, but i know nothing about other words, so i use translate to find the synonym. after find REGISTER's synonym is LOG, i know the last 2 word is JOURNAL and RECORD. after that i find MOP and SHOCK is type of tangled hair, so i MANE in that category.
next category, i know FUND can be a word after 'hedge', so i search for any word/phrase after 'hedge' and find hedgeHOG and hedge TRIMMER. after that, i think hedge SCRUB as phrase but decide to use MAZE bc many castles have maze made of hedge bush.
the last category is pop culture and i dont know anything about US pop culture.
