After completing 699 puzzles, the 700th installment of Connections introduces some clever twists. It includes words with similar meanings that might confuse players. While I found some categories easier to identify today, certain terms connected through weak definitions can be misleading. Using clues and considering various contexts for each phrase will make it easier to uncover the correct answers.
Visualizing the puzzle helped significantly, much like with the NYT Vertex puzzles where grasping the bigger picture is essential. Remember, you only have four chances to make a mistake, so take your time figuring out the different ways the phrases can be interpreted. I’ve discovered that recalling how I have used certain words before can be an effective strategy.
Today’s Connections Category Hints
May 11 #700
If I were to summarize the theme of today’s puzzle, I would say it revolves around actions you can take. Whether it’s a reference to something you’re currently engaging with or a literal expression, the phrases today are quite dynamic. Keep in mind how you would use or describe these actions, as that often leads to solid connections—just don’t get too attached to the first options you see.
For anyone having trouble identifying the categories, here are some useful hints to help you get started:
- One category focuses on terms associated with making others happy.
- Another involves actions you take to avoid a situation.
- A third category pertains to terms commonly found in video games.
- Finally, there’s a category linked to terms that might follow the word "mom."

If you’ve been struggling with certain sections, I can relate. For example, I initially paired "MAY I" and "PLEASE" together under the assumption they matched in the context of making requests. However, upon further reflection, I realized that "DELIGHT" could accompany "PLEASE" more appropriately, as both relate to pleasing someone. To suit someone or tickle their fancy would also contribute to happiness, helping me conclude on the right words.

This part of the puzzle was tricky as well, particularly because "DUCK" and "GOOSE" seemed like they would match closely. However, the real connections lie in words like DODGE and SHAKE, both of which relate to avoiding something. Recognizing that "DUCK" could mean avoiding something helped me piece everything together.
