NYT decided to switch up the focus of Connections from audio and technology to patriotism and automobiles, all in time for Veterans Day in the U.S. However, if that statement doesn’t make sense to you, then keep reading. We are going to break down and list all the categories through hints (as well as directly later on) as we tell you the answers for November 12th’s NYT Connections. So without further ado, let’s begin.

Additional Hint: Are you a patriot?
We wish we could go into more detail, but these hints are the best we can share in this section. They are all closely related to the categories in question today, so think long and hard before you scroll below. If you still can’t pinpoint the categories, then maybe these tricks to solve NYT Connections could help.

Today’s Connections Category Names
Still can’t figure it out, eh? In that case, here are the themes for today’s categories for NYT Connections.
- Yellow – PRESIDENTS
- Green – SPORTS PROFESSIONALS
- Blue – CAR COMPANIES
- Purple – COMMON PREFIXES
Spoiler Warning #2: We hope you can guess the words now. However, If you still can’t, then it’s time to scroll down. The next section includes the answer for today’s puzzle; you will see all the answers in their exact categories.
Connections Answer for November 12
Have you finally given up and are ready for the answer? The answers to today’s Connections puzzle are:
- PRESIDENTS – Ford, Grant, Lincoln, Wilson
- SPORTS PROFESSIONALS – Coach, GM, Player, Scout
- CAR COMPANIES – BMW, HONDA, JAGUAR, SUBARU
- COMMON PREFIXES – AUTO, POST, SEMI, SUB
Today was an America-centric day as the Yellow category started with me naming all the presidents. I mean, it was easy once you paired up Lincoln and Ford together. I had my next luck with the blue categories with car companies, as clubbing them was also easy enough. While I don’t have a lot of experience in the sporting world, I’ve seen The Blind Side enough times to know what Coach and Scout means. However, I followed the pattern of sadly losing to the purple as it happened again and I finally got my answer for Connections for November 12.
