Today's Connections Hints & Answers For June 1, 2024 (Puzzle #355)

June 1 has a whole new selection of for us to work through and we barely scrapped by a win in today's game. There were just too many categories that we weren't super-familiar with which sent us on a few unintentional time-wasters. We were able to pull off the win just before running out of attempts though.

“DON’T DELAY!”

OCEAN PHENOMENA

DUMBBELL EXERCISES

PHILOSOPHER HOMOPHONES

“DON’T DELAY!”

HURRY

NOW

PRONTO

I think our decision to be a little too fast in today's game was what led us to the failures we endured.

PRONTO and HURRY were the obvious starter words, and the others weren't far behind.

OCEAN PHENOMENA

CURRENT

DRIFT

TIDE

WAVE

We scored the green category in first place today, but not after wasting a few attempts on some misguided choices. TIDE and WAVE were the two words that fixed our brains and set us on the path to victory.
