Connections hints and definitions for November 22, 2023
Let these Connections clues guide the way!
A new puzzle game from the New York Times, Connections challenges players to deduce the hidden connections between a varied list of words and sort them into 4 different categories.
You only have 4 guesses to get everything right though, so it can be tougher than it looks. So you’re not struggling for too long, we’ve come up with a few Connections hints that should, hopefully, help you come up with the solution.
As a guide, we’ve listed the definitions of each featured word, because a lot of the time that can be enough to highlight something you’ve missed. Then we’ve also given you some alternative words that could also fit into each category as an extra clue.
If you’re already down to your last guess however, the answers are also listed down below. We’ve hidden them behind spoiler tags so you don’t accidentally see anything you don’t want to!

Did you manage to get that last category? Me neither! You can’t beat a good esoteric puzzle like that, but it does tend to make it difficult when there’s really only three categories in play for you to actually guess.
Gorge was a tough red herring in with the other mountainous regions, but if you tied it to the other eating words early on then hopefully it wasn’t too tough!
