How to approach a Connections grid
Connections asks players to group four words that share a common thread. Scan the grid for a couple of words that seem related, then test what other words complete that possible category before submitting. Try Hard Guides says players can make up to four mistakes, so avoid locking in a tempting connection until the full set makes sense.
Which puzzle number is correct?
Three guides—Try Hard Guides, Parade and Yahoo Tech—identify the November 7 puzzle as #880 and report the same answer groups. One result labels it #918, but that conflicts with those three matching date-specific guides; #880 is the better-supported number for this puzzle.
