Connections Answer for November 2
Have you finally, given up and are ready for the answer? The answer to November 2 Connections is!
- IGNITE – Burn, Kindle, Light, Torch
- INFORMATION – Data, Info, Intel, News
- SMALL WOODED AREA – Dell, Glen, Hollow, Valley
- THINGS WITH CORES – Apple, Computer, Planet, Reactor
As you can see yourself, today’s answer was incredibly confusing. Ignite and Information were easy enough to solve as Data and News go quite well together. And I didn’t even need to think much before locking in those groups. I did take the computing companies and gadgets route, bundling Intel, Apple, Dell, and other words together. However, I quickly corrected course after finding intel categorized under the “Information” group.
My troubles came with today’s blue and purple categories. First, I paired up Apple, Glen, Dell, and Computer together. I quickly lost that chance when I realized it wasn’t that kind of Apple. Nonetheless, I made a little use of the brain, and I remembered that everything has a center. After almost 15 minutes of suffering, I could guess the purple Connections answer for today (well, not without luck).
So yeah, these are the answers for NYT Connections for today. If you stumbled here by mistake, then it is quite easy to learn how to play NYT’s Connections game. Once you are done, come back here if you still cannot find the answers. How was your experience solving this word puzzle today? Where did you get stuck, if you did? Let us know in the comments below.
