Don’t discount yourConnectionspuzzle score just yet, because today is a new day and we have all the hints and tricks you need to not consider this puzzle a lost cause. Take advantage of this offerby using the hints to further breakdown each category, and use the answers if you must to ensure you get the puzzle right. The last category itself did something I don’t think I’ve seen before, which is always tricky, so keep that in mind as you seek to solve the puzzle.
If you want something with a little more challenge but not too much, theNYTLetter Boxedpuzzlemight be the right one for you. You can take this challenge head-on and brute force your way to an answer, but it willlikely take a lot less time if you sit down with the puzzle and write down some guesses first. That way you have taken a little time, but it is far less than the amount of time you otherwise would be spending on the same puzzle.
Today’s Connections Category Hints
NOVEMBER 26 #534
If you need a few hints to get you started,we have one for each category. This could well break the whole puzzle wide open, and you should take advantage of that as you go between this guide and the puzzle itself. I think this one could be easy depending on the type of person you are and how much time you spend in a certain grocery lane.
10 Strands Strategies To Quickly Solve The Theme
Strands is one of New York Times' many puzzle games that consists of a unique 6x8 word search that requires players to use zig-zag solutions.
If you are still wondering abouthow to separate and differentiate between these words, we have more answers for you. The first is in the form of the category names in the box below, but we have even more answers after that.
PROMOTION
RAISE
This first category is all about things I would almost always like to see. These days, it can feel like things at work are only negative, but finding the right fit for you and a place where good things do happen is essential! Even with all of that in mind, it took me two tries to get this category, as the first time I did not use EQUITY,but instead had DISCOUNT selected. It is one of the main perks of working in retail or customer service, after all. However, EQUITY does apply much more broadly across the board.
IGNORE
OVERLOOK
After not using DISCOUNT in the category before, it was this word’s time to shine. I didn’t see it right away, mainly as I was thinking about it more quantitatively, but it does fit in with all of these other words in a different context. Don’t OVERLOOK the other words either,as they all were a happy little clump in my puzzle. It is a good thing that I had guessed the other category first, as otherwise I am not sure if I would have continued to IGNORE the alternative meaning of DISCOUNT.

GOLDFISH
RITZ
This one will either be very easy for you to guess or very hard or, at the least, that is my initial gut feeling while looking at these words. The instinct is to put all of the animals in a category together, but that would be far too easy. Instead,two animal-related words will go in each of the remaining two categoriesjust to mess with us. RITZ, however, is a great clue for this one, and GOLDFISH might be as well unless you FORGET about those little crackers of goodness.
PUG
TURTLE
The last category today certainly did something different than I have seen in the last six months I have written these guides.ELOISE is both a word in the category and one in the category nameas well. Usually, it will say something like “Things That Appeared In X Movie” but not this time. It did confuse me and I wondered what I was missing, but it was a lot of fun to see the reference play out in a different fashion.
