Today's Connections Hints & Answers For May 7, 2024 (Puzzle #330)

May 7 has some great Connections categories and some well-executed misdirections. If you’re anything like us, you’ve had a tough time scoring a perfect run. Luckily, we’ve got a few hints in the form of today’s categories, and the full answer set for those who don’t want to lose their long-standing win streak.

One of the best tips for any game of Connections, but especially today’s, is to utilize the shuffle button. This often-overlooked tool can be useful in so many ways. Many times the game will set words next to each other to trick you into thinking it’s a proper category. The first thing any player should do when opening their game is to click that Shuffle button a few times to not allow the placed misdirections to take hold.

Before we lay out all of today’s Connections answers, we wanted to provide a few hints to help out those who may just need a little push in the right direction.

Although it wasn’t a flawless victory in today’s game, we did score each category in the order the game denotes as easiest to hardest. Yellow was first, WRAP and HERO were the two words that eventually started the idea for us.

We did lose an attempt trying to make the rhyming words work. WRAP, YAP, TRAP, SNAP, CLAP, and TAP were all focused on for way too long. The four-letter words were tried but met with a loss. A second attempt was lost trying to make hairstyles work with WRAP, BUN, BOB, and CHOPS.

After the yellow category was scored it became a bit easier to ignore the rhymes. KISSER and TRAP were the two words that started us down the ‘Mouth’ category. CHOPS didn’t quite make sense in our head, but it was the only one that might fit. We went for it and scored the win.

Since only eight words were left when we got to the blue category it was a pretty quick win from here. SNAP, TAP, and CLAP all clicked right away, but we lost another attempt by trying to fit in APPLAUSE. It was clearly just not our day today.

Finally, the leftover words helped us score the whole day. A win is a win I say and we can certainly appreciate the way Connections gets easier every time you get another category right.
