Answers for November 18, 2025
| Category | Tiles |
|---|---|
| Funny person | CLOWN, JOKER, LAUGH, RIOT |
| Kinds of tomatoes | CHERRY, GRAPE, PLUM, ROMA |
| Best Actress Oscar winners | BERRY, MADISON, STONE, SWANK |
| Words ending in synonyms for “location” | COMMONPLACE, NEEDLEPOINT, PARASITE, SUNSPOT |
How the groups fit together
Funny person
CLOWN and JOKER are comic figures. LAUGH and RIOT can also describe a very funny person informally: someone might be “a laugh” or “a riot.” RIOT is the less literal fit, so it is easy to overlook.
Kinds of tomatoes
CHERRY, GRAPE, PLUM, and ROMA are tomato types. Roma tomatoes are also a type of plum tomato, which makes PLUM and ROMA feel especially close—but both belong in this set.

Words ending in synonyms for “location”

Rank #3

- Revealing the assassin ends the game instantly, adding high-stakes tension
- Teams may guess up to the clue number plus one, allowing strategic risks or revisiting old clues
Red herrings that can derail the solve
- Fruit associations: GRAPE and CHERRY look like fruits, and BERRY and STONE may evoke a cherry’s pit. But the tomato set is CHERRY, GRAPE, PLUM, and ROMA; BERRY and STONE belong with the Oscar surnames.
- Film titles: ROMA, PARASITE, and JOKER can suggest a movie cluster, but that leaves only three plausible tiles. JOKER fits with CLOWN, LAUGH, and RIOT, while PARASITE belongs with the location-ending words.
A practical solving sequence
- Check for a complete set, not a promising trio. Three film titles or several fruit associations may look convincing, but Connections requires four words that share one precise relationship.
- Separate category types. Once the tomato varieties and comic descriptions are grouped, the surnames reveal the award-winner set.
- Inspect the leftover word parts. For the final group, compare endings rather than asking what each whole word means.
