Answers For Today’s (December 22) NYT Connections With Words Meaning

After closely analyzing today’s NYT Connections words, the first four words that came to my mind were Coconu, Crown, Dome, and Skull.

All the words I picked connected with the “Slangs of Head.” So, after grouping them, I got the yellow group with the same title.

Kojak And Monk Meaning In NYT Connections #560

Kojak is an American action crime drama series starring Telly Savalas as the title character, a New York City Police Department Detective.

So, with this meaning, I tried to pick similar words and collected words like Bones, Elementary, and Monk.

Each of these words seems to be related to one another with Police Investigations TV Series, where Monk is an American police procedural comedy-drama detective mystery television series.

Abba And Kayak Meaning In NYT Connections #560

Moving on with the remaining words, I collected words like Abba, Kayak, Stats, and Nun (I was not sure how they connected, but I took my friend’s suggestion).

But after analyzing these words, I figured out the connection between them; all these words he suggested were Palindromes.

Palindromes are words, phrases, or sequences that read the same backward as forwards. If you analyze the words Abba and Kayak, these seem to be the same if you reverse them.

So, in today’s connection game, Abba is a Palindromes word. At the same time, Kayak is also Palindrome’s word.

Abbott Meaning In NYT Connections #560 With All Answers

With only four words remaining, I was sure they were in the same group but couldn’t figure out how.

So, after getting the group title, I was clear about the word connections. In today’s game, Abbott refers to the American comedy duo “Abbott and Costello,” composed of comedians Bud Abbott and Lou Costello.

Meanwhile, Key is the first word for Key & Peele, a sketch comedy duo. And Fry is from Fry and Laurie. The last one, Laurel, is from Laurel and Hardy.

Finally, after getting to the last group, I was able to complete today’s NYT Connections game with the following answers;

• Slang For Head (Yellow): Coconut, Crown, Dome, Skull
• Police Procedurals (Blue): Bones, Elementary, Kojak, Monk
• Palindromes (Green): Abba, Kayak, Nun, Stats
