NYT Connections For Today, November 3, 2025: Every puzzle presents a small mystery wrapped in clever wordplay. The true enjoyment comes not just from guessing, but from that deeply satisfying "aha!" moment when the solution suddenly crystallises. It’s this thrill of discovery that keeps word lovers engaged, transforming initial confusion into a feeling of pure intellectual joy.
NYT Connections is a daily word puzzle where you group 16 words into four sets of four based on a shared connection. To play, select four words you think belong together and click submit. Then, you have four mistakes before you lose, and each correct grouping reveals a new set and its difficulty level, colour-coded from yellow (easiest) to purple (hardest).
Continue grouping words until you find all four sets of four or until you make four mistakes. You can shuffle the board at any time to get a new arrangement of the words.

YELLOW GROUP- like a ruby or tomato

BLUE GROUP: things with a lot of pieces
