Full Connections answers for December 1, 2025
Here are the four groups and their tiles:
| Category | Tiles | Why they fit |
|---|---|---|
| Complete turn | CIRCUIT, LAP, ORBIT, REVOLUTION | Each can describe a full turn or one complete passage around a course or path. |
| Circular things | FULL MOON, LP, PIZZA PIE, PUPIL | Each is circular in shape. |
| Kafka works, with “The” | CASTLE, JUDGMENT, METAMORPHOSIS, TRIAL | These correspond to The Castle, The Judgment, The Metamorphosis, and The Trial. |
| Starting with letter homophones | EYE CONTACT, PEA SOUP, SEA CHANGE, TEA LEAVES | The first words sound like the letter names I, P, C, and T. |
Why the groupings can be tricky
Several tiles can suggest more than one idea at first glance: a circuit, lap, orbit, or revolution can each evoke movement, while the circular-things group focuses on shape. The New York Times Help Center notes that Connections has exactly one solution and is designed to be tricky because words can appear to fit multiple categories. Read the NYT Help Center’s Connections guide.
Which puzzle number is this?
Published references disagree: Wordle.today labels the December 1 entry Connections #926, while TechRadar labels the same date game #904. Because the numbering conflicts, the date is the clearest way to identify this answer. Wordle.today and TechRadar provide the respective labels.
