It sounds easy, but it isn’tConnections categories can be almost anything, and they’re usually quite specific.
If you need a hand getting the answers, we’ve got you covered.
What Is Connections?
Connections is a game from the New York Times.
The objective is simple: sort 16 words into groups of 4.
Each group of words will be connected by some common idea or theme.
That common element could be anything.
Sometimes they’re references to economics, other times they reference fairy tales.
There is no telling what sort of association there will be between words.
Once you’re confident you understand the connection, select 4 words, then hit “Submit.”
You have only four attempts in total, so don’t be too guess-happy.
May 17th wasn’t too hard, except for the Blue group.
The first group I spotted was Green.
However, it was enough to think they should be together.
The proper group name was “Reach Out To.”
Next, I noticed the Yellow group.
Dirty, low, and vile are all very negative ways of describing someone.
The rest of the words really aren’t, except for base, which sometimes can be.
Together, they were all words that can mean the same thing as “Corrupt.”
In an unexpected turn of events, I spotted Purple next.
Batter, can, garden, and pong are all words that pair with beer.
I had to resist the urge to put ping and pong, together though.
The group was just “Beer ______.”
That left fruit, pitcher, skull, and tablecloth.
I was thoroughly and completely lost here and couldn’t find the connection.
Blue was “Classic Still Life Components.”
It’ll commonly be things like fruit on a table with a candle.
Modern Still Life art includes contemporary objects, too, like phones, computers, and so on.
Still, that was pretty tough.

However, there are a few things to keep in mind that can help.
