A brand new set of Connections are available for fans of the game, and the May 13 word groupings shouldn’t cause too much trouble for players. As always, there are some misdirections thrown into the mix for today’s game, and there is one category that was very difficult for us to decipher. Luckily, the “Leftovers” rule applies and we were able to squeak out a win by just solving the other three categories.
If you find yourself having trouble with the daily Connections there are a few tricks you could use to help out. The shuffle button is an easy way to mix up the words and perhaps get your brain to see things in a different light. Focusing on finding two matching words is also an easy way to score a win. If you stop trying to find all four at once and just make sure you have two absolute matches, you can usually find a third, and then the winning fourth.
Before jumping right into spoiler territory, we wanted to share with you today’s Connections categories.
Yellow was the first category we scored today and it took a while before we hit this one. We lost an attempt messing with the HARE, BUNNY, HOP trio, and then another one with the animal words collection. It was not looking good, so we ignored all that and tried to push ourselves in a different direction. This is when BRAND and LABEL popped out to us and we started to see the match. LINE and COLLECTION quickly followed and we were able to move on.
The green category was our third win for the day and it was mostly a lucky guess. TAG and HIDE we assumed were kid games but with only the purple words left with these we assumed the other two would fit, and they did. Tough game for us today.
Once we scored the yellow category we went back to work on the animals. Seeing that HARE and BUNNY were just the same thing we assumed that there needed to be a different match somewhere. Looking at it for way too long it finally dawned on us. BUNNY, DUCK, & PIG, classic Looney Tunes. It didn’t take long to see MARTIAN and move on with the day.
Okay, yeah, I get it. Well played Connections. There was about a zero-percent chance we would have scored this on our own. We know all the musicals listed here but homophones always trick us. Either way, we scored a win thanks to these being just leftover words.
