How to play
Connections is one of the most popular (and demanding) daily puzzle games published by The New York Times. The purpose of the connections is to group 16 words of the day for four groups, in which each group of four words has a common topic.
For example, the words “Hook”, “Nana”, “Peter” and “Wendy” are the characters of Peter Pan. Or to take another example, “Action”, “Ballpark”, “Go” and “Stick” are all words that often appear just before the word “drawing”.
Your task is to find out what these topics combine different words together – but be careful, because for a lot of time there are disingenuous combinations with red herring placed only to lose you! To win the game, you need to find all four connections without making 4 mistakes. During the fourth error, the game ended and the answer is revealed automatically.
Each of the four groups in the puzzle every day is also attributed to a different color, which represents how basic or complex to find a connection. These colors are: yellow (easiest), green (basic), blue (medium) and purple (the most complex).

What is today’s response to calls?
Here is the answer to today’s connection puzzle on Monday, May 5:
- Yellow: Slide (coast, cruise, drift, float)
- Green: Related to Count Dracula (Bat, Cape, Castle, Fang)
- Blue: Stop changing (flattening, level, plateau, settle)
- Purple: Things that are long and cylindrical (stick, cigar, hoagie, torpeda)
Today’s connection puzzle was relatively basic for me, because I reached “Dracula” quite quickly. It’s difficult not to go there if you see “Castle” and “Cape”, right? I began to notice words related to “height”, such as “plateau”, “level” and “floating”. I looked like another good look and it became clear that some words concerned moving forward, so even without the aspect of “gliding” a yellow category was revealed.
Although this left a “stationary” blue motif, I still needed a minute to finish it when I got stuck, thinking about physical flat (on the hill, with a nice view), not stagnation. Apparently I haven’t reached the summit yet because I finally found a blue group.
I can’t say if I would find purple if it wasn’t the last motive, but I suspect that yes. I usually fight the most hidden purple topics (for example, where you need to change one letter in each word), but this one was quite basic.
Congratulations, if you have today’s connections, answer well, with or without the lend a hand of our handy tips above! And if you are not successful today, don’t worry – the novel puzzle is published every day at midnight, so you can try again tomorrow, just like Wordle!
