Sometimes a complicatedConnectionspuzzle can make your brain feel a little warped, but we can help you straighten that out. Today’s puzzle hastwo categories that have to do with measurements, which can make it more complicated than it actually is. Once you figure out what the categories are asking, you will have a much easier time deciphering the puzzle as a whole. And if that is the case, you will not have to worry about your streak anymore.
If you like makingConnections, you will also like thematching gameTiles, which forms links in another way. You will have tomake matches layer-by-layer, examining each picture for patterns that match another one. Each match you make will add to your streak, and as that streak gets longer your score will get much higher.

Today’s Connections Category Hints
NOVEMBER 09 #517
Figuring out what to separate out from the other words can be the hardest part of theConnectionspuzzle every day. Whileone of the categories stands out in today’s puzzle, the others are a little harder. You will need to know very specific terms in order to guess which is which, but we can help make that easier for you by giving you the following clues:
Wordle History: Today’s Answer & All Past Words
Wordle is a simple daily word game that has taken the internet by storm. With only 6 chances to get the right answer, players may need a little help.
If you still need some help getting across the finish line and untwisting your brain, you may use the following category names to get the puzzle unscrambled.
TWISTED
WARPED
This was the category that stood out the most to me as I was solving the puzzle. I for one am a sucker for GNARLY and TWISTED trees, and I have a photo album dedicated solely to the subject. That likely helped this category stand out to me, but Idid think ROOT might be in this category. However, I guessed BENT first and that turned out to be the right call. I then happily put twisted trees in the background of all the images in this article and was very pleased about it.
SHRED
TRACE
This one and the next category are likely the two easiest to confuse and get tangled. Theyare all measurements of a kind, and OUNCE would be pretty easy to put into the next category without thinking too much of it. POWDER is also one that could belong here, but it does not fit in quite as well as the rest of them. TRACE does make POWDER look a little more likely, and it is a potential pitfall. It is more clear once you get to the final category, however, which words do not belong here.
10 Best Connections Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.
RADICAL
ROOT
This one may catch your eye depending onhow much you remember about Algebraor if you have had to use math post-high school. I did recognize EXPONENT, and when I saw POWER in the puzzle as well I thought it might just be different types of superscripts. However, looking around, I might not have seen any more of those, but I did see RADICAL and I came back to ROOT after not using it in the first category. It’s been a while since I’ve done any math, so I was pleased that I got that far.
REST
THRONE
This last category is interesting in thatyou may havenever heard of one or more of these words. I did not put this one together, as I came to these words last and was able to guess all of them without thinking about it. While I have heard of all of these before, not many of them are used to describe a lavatory in everyday language. I do enjoy solving the last four words every day though, as it is quite satisfying to finish off the puzzle without having to think about it anymore.
