Spoiler warning: This guide starts with graduated hints and ends with all four answers for Connections #879, the puzzle dated November 6, 2025. If you meant the puzzle from November 6, 2024, that was #514, not #879.

Hints for Connections #879

Use these in order and stop when you have enough to solve the grid.

  1. One-word hint: Think about money, device security, a ship, and a mythological figure.
  2. Stronger hint: One group contains words for a quantity or an appraisal; another contains four ways to authenticate access.
  3. Near-spoiler hint: The ship group includes directions and structures, while the Cupid group includes what he carries or wears.

All 16 words in the grid

FORE, FACE, FIGURE, ARROW, PIN, PRICE, MAST, DIAPER, VALUE, BOW, FINGERPRINT, DECK, AFT, PASSWORD, WINGS, AMOUNT.

Connections #879 answers

Yellow: COST

  • AMOUNT
  • FIGURE
  • PRICE
  • VALUE

Green: WAYS TO UNLOCK A DEVICE

  • FACE
  • FINGERPRINT
  • PASSWORD
  • PIN

Blue: PARTS OF A SHIP

  • AFT
  • DECK
  • FORE
  • MAST

Purple: FEATURES OF A CARTOON CUPID

  • ARROW
  • BOW
  • DIAPER
  • WINGS

Why BOW is a tricky word

BOW can point solvers toward a ship, but in this solution it belongs with ARROW, DIAPER, and WINGS as a feature of a cartoon Cupid. MAST completes the ship group instead. The other overlaps are resolved by reading the words in their intended senses: AMOUNT, FIGURE, PRICE, and VALUE all relate to cost, while FACE, FINGERPRINT, PASSWORD, and PIN are device-unlocking methods.
