NYT Connections Answers and Hints for Sunday, May 11th: Mother's Day Edition

Happy Mother's Day! Today's NYT Connections puzzle, hosted by Erik Kain, offers a fun challenge for word game enthusiasts. This edition features a special Mother's Day theme, making it a perfect activity for the holiday.

The goal of Connections is to group 16 words into four sets of four, based on a common theme. The game provides hints to guide players, with categories color-coded by difficulty: yellow (easiest), blue/green, and purple (most challenging). Players have a limited number of mistakes before they lose.

Today's hints include:

* Yellow: Think of how you might describe filling someone with delight.
* Blue: If you're on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X you might encounter these terms.
* Green: Get out of the way!
* Purple: You'll need to insert a word before all of these.

The answers for Sunday, May 11th, are:

* Yellow: Delight, Please, Suit, Tickle (Make Happy)
* Blue: Boss, Health, Level, Power-Up (Common Video Game Features)
* Green: Dodge, Duck, Shake, Skirt (Evade)
* Purple: Earth, Goose, May I, Superior (Mother ______)

Kain notes that the green category (evade) was the most obvious, while the yellow category (make happy) proved slightly trickier. The purple category (Mother ______) required a bit more thought to connect the words.
