NYT Connections Answers for May 17, 2025
Were you able to figure out all the words? If not, don’t worry, here are the answers for NYT Connections #706.
- 🟨 MEMBER OF A KINGDOM IN TAXONOMY: Animal, Bacteria, Fungus, Plant
- 🟩 GRADUATED INSTRUMENTS: Beaker, Protractor, Ruler, Syringe
- 🟦 KINDS OF PENGUINS: Chinstrap, Emperor, King, Macaroni
- 🟪 “E” THINGS: Commerce, Mail, Scooter, Signature
Today’s puzzle was very confusing. My first attempt was gone on the entirely incorrect assumption that Emperor, Ruler, and King would belong together, and for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what other word implies anything similar. Fortunately, Beaker, and Protractor helped me realize it might be things seen in a school lab, and it slowly led me to the green category.

After that, though, I got nothing until the very end. I mean, why was I expected to know that Chinstrap and Macaroni are kinds of penguin? What? But anyway, now I know. And so do you.
