NYT Connections hints and answers for June 1. Tips to solve 'Connections' #1086.

The New York Times Connections #1086 (June 1) groups 16 words into four categories: Room Features (CEILING, DOOR, WALL, WINDOW), Old-Timey Lounging Accessories (NEWSPAPER, PIPE, ROBE, SLIPPERS), Tennessee Williams Titles (CAT, MENAGERIE, STREETCAR, TATTOO), and ___ Ring (KEY, ONION, TREE, WEDDING).
