Connections Answer for May 20
Are you still stuck with the puzzle? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections are:
- SORCERER’S OUTPUT – Charm, Hex, Magic, Spell
- ONE BEING MANIPULATED – Instrument, Pawn, Puppet, Tool
- CLASSIC SUPERHERO WEAR – Cape, Mask, Tights, Underwear
- ACTION MOVIE DIRECTORS – Bay, Carpenter, Scott, Woo
Thankfully, the NYT staff recognized that today was a Sunday and treated me with kindness. I began by solving the Blue category by getting all the words I used to dress up with as a kid—all except the Cape, anyway. The Yellow category came next, and honestly, who hasn’t seen Harry Potter?
The Green category came next, and while I initially confused puppet for a movie, I quickly realized the connection between Pawn and Tool, too.
After all that was done, I had only four words left. I put them together, along with the Purple category and the NYT Connections puzzle for May 20.
