Answers For Today’s NYT Connections (May 19, 2025)
Analyzing today’s NYT Connections, the first four words that crossed my mind were Avenue, Chance, Utility, and Railroad.
Since I often play Monopoly Go, grouping these words was not challenging. Each word felt connected to the Monopoly board, which features 40 spaces, including 4 railroads, 2 utilities, and 3 Chance spaces.
After grouping these Monopoly Spaces, I got the green group “Spaces on a Monopoly Board.”
Further analyzing the remaining words, I got the yellow group “Fundraising Events,” which featured words like Gala, Function, Benefit, and Ball.
