For the uninitiated, Connections is an online word game by NYT that provides the player with 16 different words, which may not seem like they are connected to one another at first glance, but they have more in common than one might think.

The objective is to divide the words into groups of four, with each group focusing on a specific theme. In case you are having a hard time with today’s Connections puzzle, we have prepared some hints to help you out for Tuesday, November 5.

  • Things With Shells: Clam, Egg, Nut, Turtle
  • Figures in “Shrek“: Donkey, Dragon, Ogre, Princess
  • Magic _: Carpet, Kingdom, Marker, Mushroom

The New York Times really got creative with today’s challenge, targeting the gamer mindset to throw players off by including words that could have referred to an entirely different franchise, which is not even contextually present in the puzzle.

So, the publication knew exactly what it was doing by including words like Peach, Pipe Cleaner, Turtle, Princess, Kingdom, and Mushroom, realizing that gamers would probably immediately think of Mario and make quite a few mistakes before figuring out that their entire approach is wrong.

The inclusion of the Shrek category made that twist even more interesting, as putting Kingdom in the group while thinking of Far Far Away could have also been a rookie mistake, as not everyone knows about the word’s relationship with Magic.

But that is what makes Connections such a fun game to play, as every day brings a new challenge for dedicated players to complete, so if you were not able to solve today’s puzzle, there is always tomorrow.

And if that gives you trouble as well, rest assured that we will have yet another guide waiting for you. However, if you did achieve success with today’s Connections puzzle, many congratulations!

While waiting and preparing for tomorrow’s puzzle, you can also go on a quick trip down memory lane and check out yesterday’s challenge again.
