The June 2Connectionsare here and these Sunday morning word groupings might throw a few players off their game. There certainly aren’t any extremely difficult categories in today’s game, but there are many words that might fit into more than one connection.
Connectionshas always done a decent job of keeping a diverse selection of categories that fit with most people’s general knowledge. There is also the “Save for last” strategy that allows you to get away with not knowing a specific category, as long as you can get the other three correct.

Today’s Connections Category Hints
June 2 #356
Before we fully spoil today’sConnectionsanswers we wanted to provide the categories for each color, listed in the game’s order of most straightforward to trickiest.
PUPPETS
SHEEP
Yellow category was the third one that we solved today, and it’s clearly because we don’t do things how “the man” tells us to. Yellow may be the “easiest” category, but we scoreConnectionsin our “own way.” You’re not gonna “bring” me down with your “rules” and “societal pressures,” man. I don’t even “care” that I’m using quotes “excessively” and “incorrectly.”
SHARES
STOCKS
We scored the green category first in today’s game and it’s completely due to our intimate knowledge with high-end business. We work alongside some of the greatest business minds of our generation and we often discuss EQUITY, OPTIONS, and STOCKS. This was a super easy category, barely an inconvenience. We fully support rules and rule-makers.

PHOENIX
Blue was our second score for the day and led us to victory. Leaving only eight words left we were able to quickly find what was necessary to score a win. BUFFALO and PHOENIX were the two words that launched this category for us. It didn’t take long to see the other cities hidden among the choices.
LIKES
SHOVELS
Purple had our leftover words for the day and was quite a clever category. I wish we would have noticed the actual answer before clicking submit. Either way, a win is a win and we can move on and start our day fresh knowing we scored today’sConnections.
