160 words across 3 stages and 36 categories — right on the daily average of 34 categories.
May 27, 2025 — Complete Answer Guide
This page lists every answer for the Connect Word Daily Challenge of May 27, 2025, a tuesday board of 3 stages holding 160 words in 36 themed categories. That is right on the daily average of 34 categories per board. The categories here open with Japanese Weapons, Crystal Systems, Amusement Park, Interior Design Styles, Virology and 31 more.
The daily challenge is not the same puzzle shape as the numbered levels. A numbered level is a single board with exactly five words behind every category; a daily runs several stages in sequence, and its categories vary in size — on this board they run from 4 to 5 words, most commonly 4. Clear a stage and the next one opens, so work down this page in order rather than hunting for one word.
Watch for the 34 multi-word answers here — entries such as Jack-O’-Lantern span more than one word, and they are where most players stall. The daily board disappears from the game once the day ends, so this archive is the only way back to it. Step to May 26 or May 28, browse the full daily archive, or try the holiday event packs.

3 Tips for the May 27, 2025 Daily
Stages gate each other — solve top down
The daily runs 3 stages and the next one does not open until the current one is clear, so there is no point scanning ahead. Stage 1 alone holds 9 categories and 36 words. Work this page in the same order the game does and nothing is wasted.
Category sizes run 4 to 5, not a flat five
This is the trap that catches players coming from the numbered levels, where every category holds exactly five. On the daily they do not: today they run from 4 to 5 words, most often 4. Count the slots the game shows you before you assume a theme is done.
Expect 34 multi-word entries
Around one daily answer in six is a phrase rather than a single word, and this board holds 34 of them — entries like Jack-O’-Lantern. If a category looks one short, the missing entry is usually two words you have been reading as one. The daily archive holds 607 boards and 87,401 answers in total.
Verified Answers, Not Guesses
How we verify the May 27, 2025 daily
The 160 words on this page are read straight from the captured board, stage by stage and category by category, not retyped. Stage numbering is preserved exactly as the game presents it, and a board is only published once all 3 stages parse cleanly — a partial capture is discarded rather than published with gaps.

How to Solve a Connect Word Board
Three habits that clear any Connect Word board, whichever mode you are in.
Read every category name first
The category names are the only clue the game gives you, and reading all of them before you touch a tile rules out most of the dictionary. A narrow theme pins its answers far harder than a broad one, which makes it the cheapest place to start.
Count the slots, do not count to five
Every category in the numbered levels holds exactly five words, so five means finished. The daily and event boards do not follow that rule — their categories hold four or five. Read the empty slots the board draws or you will abandon a theme one answer early.
Expect phrases, not just words
Roughly one Connect Word answer in six is two words rather than one. When a category sits one short, the gap is usually a phrase you have been reading as a single word.
