Answers for May 19
The answer guide groups the words this way:
| Category | Words |
|---|---|
| AFFLUENT | FLUSH, LOADED, RICH, WEALTHY |
| CUT INTO PIECES | CHOP, CUBED, DICE, MINCE |
| OLD-FASHIONED | SQUARE, STRAIGHT, STUFFY, TRADITIONAL |
| FRUIT HOMOPHONES | BURY, CURRENT, LEACHY, PAIR |
Why the fruit group works
The purple set uses sound-alikes: BURY/berry, CURRENT/currant, LEACHY/lychee, and PAIR/pear. The intended connection is pronunciation, not spelling. How obvious the pairs sound can depend on dialect; some players have questioned CURRENT and LEACHY in particular. A player discussion on Reddit reflects that disagreement: May 19 puzzle discussion.
A note on the published word list
The Fortnite Insider answer guide’s word bank lists STUFF and CUBE, but its solution groups use STUFFY and CUBED. That is an apparent transcription inconsistency in the guide, not a consistent set of grid spellings. The category answers above reproduce the solution groups as published; the discrepancy cannot be resolved from that guide alone. The guide was written by Khadija Saifi and published May 20, 2024: Fortnite Insider’s Connections #343 guide.
