Connections hint for May 27
All 16 words in today’s puzzle are: TEACUP, STRUM, BEND, BEAST, CANDELABRA, PICK, CLOCK, CAROUSEL, SLIDE, LOUNGE, RECORD, GATE, FRISBEE, FOOD COURT, COASTER, and PANCAKE.
Here are some hints for each group to give you an initial push forward:
- Yellow Group: For the first category, all the words are associated with the same shape.
- Green Group: The words in this group are related to traveling.
- Blue Group: This collection features words associated with a particular musical instrument.
- Purple Group: For the final category, think of elements from a popular Disney classic.
What are the Connections answers for today, May 27?
Without further ado, here are the answers for NYT Connections for May 27:
Yellow Group: Round Flat Things – COASTER, FRISBEE, PANCAKE, and RECORD
Green Group: Airport Features – CAROUSEL, FOOD COURT, GATE, and LOUNGE
Blue Group: Guitar Playing Techniques – BEND, PICK, SLIDE, and STRUM
Purple Group: What Characters Were Transformed Into In ‘Beauty And The Beast’ – BEAST, CANDELABRA, TEACUP, and CLOCK
Among the four groups, the yellow is the easiest to identify and sort, as it bears the most obvious theme. It gets progressively trickier with the green, blue, and finally the purple group. Thus, we advise players to try and weed out the yellow group first before moving on to the next. Additionally, the “one away…” hint also helps give you an idea about which four words can belong together.
