- Yellow – FOOD WITH CRUSTS
- Green – ENDING IN A SILENT “T”

Connections Answer for November 23
Still can’t solve the puzzle after all the hints? In that case, the answers to today’s Connections puzzle are:
- FOOD WITH CRUSTS – Pasty, Pie, Tart, Turnover
- ENDING IN A SILENT “T” – Bouquet, Parfait, Ragout, Rapport
- COUNTRIES WITH RED AND WHITE FLAGS – Japan, Poland, Tunisia, Turkey
- N.B.A GREATS – Bird, Curry, James, Jordan
Let me start by saying that no one at the Beebom office knew that Turnover is even food. This utter fact confused me with the Yellow category for a solid 15 minutes. Once I had moved on from that, I quickly dived into the sea of Green. The only saving grace here was knowing my phonetics, which helped me solve the category.
I then moved on to the Blue category and got stuck for a long time again. While I knew geography wasn’t my strongest suit, turns out I also lack general knowledge. Thankfully, a colleague jumped in to help me out. With only four words to go, I combined them all to get the Purple category and got my answer for NYT Connections for November 23.
