Today’s Connections Category Names

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 categories. This is your final chance to solve it by yourself.
Connections Answer for November 20
Still can’t solve the puzzle after all the help above? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections puzzle are:
- RELIGIOUS FIGURES – Cardinal, Lama, Monk, Pastor
- PRIMATES – Baboon, Bonobo, Gibbon, Gorilla
- CHUTNEY VARIETIES – Mango, Mint, Tamarind, Tomato
- IMITATE – Ape, Mime, Mirror, Parrot
Solving today’s Connections was actually relatively easy, as I could easily connect most of the words together. However, I took a step back and started with the simplest one. Once I connected all the primates together, I nailed down the Green category. The Blue category came naturally since, as an Indian, I love all of these chutneys except Mango.
I then actually solved the Purple category next, as mime and parrot were dead giveaways. Even though it was fairly obvious by now, I had already made the Yellow connection in my head. So I paired those words together and finally got my NYT Connections answer for November 20.
