NYT Connections — July 27, 2026

Today's board blends web-store icons, chilly metaphors for change, thin pointed things, and gymnastics gear.

The easiest set is a row of icons you'd click while browsing an online store.

Another set pairs with the word "shift" to describe different kinds of change — in sound, in schedule, or in mindset.

A third set names long, narrow things that taper to a point, whether frozen, vegetable, or used for crafting.

The trickiest set is equipment from a gymnastics competition, including a balance apparatus, a vaulting horse, and a set of rings.
