Need the answer to the May 7 New York Times Connect Puzzle? To me, Wordle is more like a vocabulary test, while Connections is more like brain teasers. You are given 16 words and asked to sort them into four groups that are related to each other in some way. Sometimes they’re obvious, but game editors know how to trick you by using words that fit into multiple groups.

How to play connect
It’s easy to play. Winning is hard. Look at these 16 words and mentally assign them to the four relevant groups. Click on the four words that you think go together. The groups are color-coded, but you don’t know what’s going where until you see the answer. The yellow group is the easiest, then the green group, then the blue group, and the purple group is the hardest. Look at the words carefully and think about related terms. Sometimes the connection is only with part of the word. At one time, the four words were grouped because each started with the name of a rock band, including “Rushmore” and “Journeyman.”
