<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”><em><strong>NYT Connections Answers: </strong></em></span><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The New York Times&rsquo; daily puzzle, Connections, dropped its November 27 challenge, and it had players thinking in all directions. As usual, the goal was to group 16 words into four hidden sets of four. But today&rsquo;s puzzle was especially tricky, with one group giving a cheeky nod to The New York Times itself.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Like Wordle, Connections refreshes every day and has become a favourite for players who enjoy logic, quick thinking, and pattern-spotting. If you couldn&rsquo;t crack today&rsquo;s puzzle, here are all the hints and the full solution.</span></p>
<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>What Is Connections &amp; How Do You Play?</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Connections is a word game where players must find the common link between groups of words. Out of 16 words, each belongs to one of four hidden groups. But there&rsquo;s a catch: the game includes misleading words that can easily send you down the wrong path.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>For example, &ldquo;Hook,&rdquo; &ldquo;Nana,&rdquo; &ldquo;Peter,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Wendy&rdquo; all belong to the Peter Pan theme. Or, &ldquo;Action,&rdquo; &ldquo;Ballpark,&rdquo; &ldquo;Go,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Stick&rdquo; all come before the word &ldquo;Figure.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>To win, you have to correctly sort all four groups before making four mistakes. Once you hit the fourth error, the game ends and the answers are revealed. Each group is marked with a colour to show difficulty:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(easiest)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Green </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(easy)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Blue </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(medium)</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Purple </strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>(hardest)</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Like Wordle, players can also share their results with friends once they finish.</span></p>

<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>One theme only contains words ending in &ldquo;S.&rdquo;</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>One word from each group:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow:</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Outpouring</span></li>

<h2><span style=”color: #ba372a;”><strong>Full Solution For November 27 (Puzzle #899)</strong></span></h2>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Yellow (Inundation):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Avalanche, Outpouring, Tidal Wave, Torrent</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Green (Main Folders In A Computer):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music</span></li>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;” aria-level=”1″><strong>Blue (Woodworking Tools):</strong><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> Drills, Files, Routers, Saws</span></li>

</ul>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>This was a clever puzzle that balanced logic with wordplay. The yellow &ldquo;Inundation&rdquo; group came together quickly for those who noticed the flood-related clues. The green computer group was easy for anyone familiar with file folders. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The blue woodworking tools added a practical twist, while the purple group was a fun inside joke for NYT fans, rhyming with their famous games like &ldquo;Connections,&rdquo; &ldquo;Wordle,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Spelling Bee.&rdquo; Overall, it was a smart mix of humour and challenge.</span></p>
