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 28th was tougher than yesterday’s game and harder than average.
The first group I spotted was Yellow, “Amenable.”
Open and receptive can be synonyms when used in the context of “open to an idea.”
They were similar enough to risk a guess, and it worked out.
Amazing and genius seem like they should be together, but none of the other words fit well.
I toyed around with a few other words, but literally nothing seemed to fit so I moved on.
Purple was “Adjectives for a Candle.”
There was just no way that was a coincidence, so I threw them together in a group.
Green was “Anagrams.”
That left amazing, beginning, genius, and sound.
Try as I might, I couldn’t see the connection.
It turns out that Blue was “Spelling Bee Ranks.”
That will be a tough one for anyone that has never participated in a spelling bee.

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