ForbesToday's NYT “Connections” tips and answers for Sunday, November 3rdFrom Kris Holt

Hello everyone! Welcome to the start of a new week. I hope you are well rested and ready to go. I'm sure nothing significant will happen in the world to worry about in the next few days!

Today NYT Connections Hints and answers for Monday November 4th will follow soon.

How to play connections

Connections is a free, popular one New York Times daily pun. You will receive a new puzzle every day at midnight. You can play on that NYT Website or gaming app.

You will be presented with a grid of 16 words. Your task is to divide them into four groups of four by figuring out the connections between them. The groups can be items you can click on, names of research participants, or words preceded by a body part.

Each puzzle has only one solution, and you have to be careful when it comes to words that could fit into more than one category. You can mix up the words to perhaps better see the connections between them.

Each group is color coded. The yellow group is usually the easiest to understand, blue and green are in the middle, and the purple group is usually the most difficult. The purple group often contains puns.

Select four words that you think go together and click Send. If you guess and are wrong, you lose a life. When you're close to finding the right group, you may see a message saying you're one word away from the right group, but you still need to figure out which word to swap.

If you make four mistakes, the game is over. Let's make sure that this doesn't happen with the help of some tips, and if you really find it difficult, even with today's ones Connections Answer. Like with Wordle and other similar games, it's easy to share results with your friends on social media and group chats.

If you have one NYT You can access this with an All Access or Games subscription Connections Archive. This includes every previous game from Connectionsso you can go back and play any songs you missed.

This is your final warning!

Today Connections Answers are…

• Yellow group – equip (FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, SUPPLIES)
• Green Group – Individuality (BEING, CHARACTER, EGO, SELF)
• Blue group – furniture (chest, console, vanity unit, wardrobe)
• Purple group – words without apostrophes (CANT, ID, SHELL, WERE)

A stupid mistake prevented me from playing a perfect game, but my winning streak is eight. This is what happened to me:

🟪🟪🟪🟪

🟩🟩🟩🟩

🟦🟨🟦🟦

🟦🟦🟦🟦

🟨🟨🟨🟨

“CANT” was a clear reference to the purples, so I searched the grid for three other words that fit the bill and submitted them through gritted teeth. Since ID (“I would” and not the impulsive part of our psyche) didn’t play a role, the Greens were clear.

I could then see the blues, but accidentally guessed a group consisting of CONSOLE, WARDROBE, VANITY and OUTFIT. Sigh. I corrected my mistake and then got a yellow card for the win.

PS: I'm trying to drink more water (I bought a smart water bottle to help with this). I also try to avoid tea or coffee for the first few hours I'm awake. So I look elsewhere for something to kick-start my day, and a loud song to get me moving seems to be just the thing. Here is one of them:
