Today's Connections Hints & Answers For May 21, 2024 (Puzzle #344)

is always the best way to start a new day, and today's puzzle is ready to ruin a few players' long-standing win streaks. The word groupings in today's answers are enjoyable and take a bit of brain power to work out. MDon't let some of the misdirections fool you, slow down and focus on the words in front of you.

There are tons of different one-a-day games available for those who are looking to add to their morning routine. Games like or are fun takes on the popular, while others, like, change the game up completely and have players guessing mystery films or television shows. Whatever you may be into, there is almost definitely a daily game out there for you.

Another clone of the popular word puzzle game Wordle has arrived, this time putting a battle royale-style spin on the viral letter game.

We wanted to provide the categories for today's before fully spoiling the answers, for those who just need a little push in the right direction.

SMIDGEN

BARGAIN

BILLIARDS EQUIPMENT

___BOOK (THAT’S NOT A BOOK)

SMIDGEN

BIT

DASH

PINCH

TOUCH

Today's easiest category was the one we solved third in today's game. The words just didn't quite stand out as fast as the others did. We also wasted a few attempts trying to make TOUCH and FACE work, but that was quickly dashed after we realized it didn't make any sense.

BARGAIN

BUY

DEAL

STEAL

VALUE

Green was our second category score for the day and came very quickly after we scored the blue one. STEAL and DEAL caught our attention with the way they rhyme but it was obvious what the connection was once we saw VALUE. We did make one misstep and lost an attempt trying to make DASH work in this one instead of BUY.

Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.

BILLIARDS EQUIPMENT

BALL

CHALK

CUE

RACK

Oh boy, we've got trouble, right here in River City. With a capital «T», that rhymes with «P», which stands for pool!
