The New York Times Connections puzzle for November 4, 2025 (Puzzle #877) offers an interesting challenge — but it’s not too tricky if you think like a good leader. Whether you’re stuck midway or just looking for the final answers, here are all the hints and solutions to help you crack today’s game.
What Is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of the most popular word games from The New York Times, created by associate puzzle editor Wyna Liu. The game challenges players to group 16 words into four sets based on a common theme or connection. It’s all about identifying the “common threads between words.”
Like Wordle, the game resets daily at midnight, bringing a fresh puzzle with increasing difficulty. Each group is color-coded by difficulty — yellow (easy), green, blue, and purple (most difficult).
How to Play
Players must group four words that share a common theme. Correct sets are removed from the board, but every wrong guess counts as a mistake — you can make up to four before the game ends. You can also shuffle words to spot new patterns, and just like Wordle, share your results on social media.
