Connections Answer for November 4
Have you finally given up and are ready for the answer? The answer to today’s Connections puzzle is:
- HOLLOW CYLINDERS – Hose, Pipe, Straw, Tube
- WAYS TO PREPARE – Drill, Practice, Study, Train
- WEAPONS IN THE GAME CLUE – Candlestick, Knife, Rope, Wrench
- “E-” THINGS– Cigarette, Bike, Ticket, Sports
Thank the universe for the one time I had a fairly easy experience with NYT Connections. The green category was easy this time around as Hose and Pipe helped me quickly make the connection in my mind. The same was the case with drill and practice, which had me initially thinking about the army and then about preparing. While I even guessed the E-things category because of cigarettes, I had no idea about Blue due to never playing Cludedo. This took a good amount of time to figure out.
However, as luck would have it, we have a co-worker who is a board game fanatic who recognized it right away. So, I punched the words in and got my answer for Connections on November 4.
