May 29 has some new Connections to solve and today’s answers should be a quick win for most fans of the game. There aren’t too many extreme misdirections in today’s combinations, which can make for a quicker experience. There is always a possibility that you could get stuck though so one of the best tips is to utilize the game’s Shuffle button.
Oftentimes, certain words will be automatically placed next to other words to force a false connection in your brain. Mixing up the order of words is an easy way to help your brain see different combinations. For example, in a previous game, they used the words SPONGE, BOB, SQUARE, and PANTS and placed them all at the top. It was an almost guaranteed wasted attempt for many that day. Shuffling it all up helps remove the temptation and see better matches.

CHOW |
EATS |
FARE |
GRUB |
Yes, delicious food categories, always a quick score for us. We did however waste an attempt trying to make STEER, MEAT, COW, and BULL work, but once we really didn’t see much more to that we cast it aside and looked at the other words. EATES and GRUB were the quick starters here and the other two jumped in quite fast.

GUIDE |
LEAD |
STEER |
Green was our second score for the day and our insistence that BULL, COW, and STEER had to be something led us to another wasted attempt. After that one GUIDE jumped into our brains and STEER made perfect sense. Searching around we quickly found the other two and moved on to the next category.

BULLY |
COW |
DAUNT |
RATTLE |
Now that the STEER/BULL connection was dead we didn’t have to stress it anymore. Blue ended up being our leftover words of the day since purple was a fill-in-the-blank, and we just love those.
​​​​​​​Oftentimes we’ll waste a few moments trying to see what words might word around other words. For example, RATTLE Snake might be a thing, so does anything else work with ____Snake. It only takes a few seconds to focus and see if anything works.

BULL |
FLEA |
MEAT |
STOCK |
FLEA was the starter of this one, we thought FLEA Market and it all fell into place. STOCK, MEAT, and BULL were all there for the taking. There is nothing better than when you solve a fill-in-the-blank category in Connections.
