NYT Connections Hints and Answers for May 20, 2024

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.
