Carousel Meaning In NYT Connections #716
As I progressed with the remaining words, I was quite confused, which led me to lose one life and get the green group “Airport Features.”

In today’s NYT, Connections Carousel is the conveyor system at an airport from which arriving passengers collect their luggage.

Cogsworth, the strict and loyal majordomo, and Chip, the young son of Mrs. Potts, are Clock and Teacup, respectively.
