Hints and a way to approach the board
Connections asks players to sort 16 words into four categories. In this puzzle, the reported color order runs from yellow, the easiest group, through purple, the most challenging. If you are solving before revealing answers:
- Scan for a straightforward category, such as units of measurement.
- Check that a proposed group accounts for all four words; a three-word match may conceal a more specific connection.
- Look for words that can name team members or begin familiar show titles among the remaining entries.
The report says the answers are revealed after four incorrect guesses. For the historical solution and game context, see the November 29, 2024 report. A page with a matching title at Position is Everything contains conflicting solution passages, so it is not a reliable basis for this dated answer: Position is Everything’s November 29 solution page.
