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 26th was a pretty normal game.
The first group I spotted was Blue, “Deposit with Down.”
The words were lay, place, put, and set.
They belonged to the Yellow group, “Found on a Stove Top.”
Trim and edge are all related to edges, usually in a decorative sense.
With that in mind, fringe seemed like a decent addition.
Ruffle seems like a bit of a stretch, but it is the only other one that might fit.
Together, those 4 words were “Ornamental Border,” which was in Green.
The last four words were geez, seize, tease, and wise.
They were in the Purple group, which was properly named “Words that Sounds like Plural Letters.”
