May 18, 2024 Connections answers
These are the four sets of words in the puzzle:
- BULLDOG, CATFISH, HORSEFLY, TURTLEDOVE
- DOGLEG, HAIRPIN, SWITCHBACK, ZAG
- CATEGORIES, CHARADES, FISHBOWL, WEREWOLF
- CLOCK, MATTRESS, MOUSETRAP, TRAMPOLINE
Why the puzzle number may look different
Two puzzle-specific answer records identify the May 18, 2024 puzzle as #342. A separate archive search result associates that date with #343. For this answer guide, #342 is the stronger match because both records tied specifically to the puzzle agree on that number. [Answer record 1] [Answer record 2] [Conflicting archive result]
Category explanations
The available answer records confirm the four word groups but do not reliably establish the official category labels. The first group is based on word construction in the names rather than a shared biological classification; the records do not provide a verified official label for it. The remaining three sets are listed above without inferred labels.
