Today's Connections answer — hints to help you solve it
Unlike our guide to today's Wordle answer, where we recommend the best Wordle start words as your strategy, solving Connections relies on identifying connecting categories among 16 words. Each category's difficulty level is represented by a color; yellow is the easiest grouping, and purple is the most challenging. Once you've made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful.
If you need hints to solve the groupings, then here are the themes of each, based on the order of difficulty:
- 🟨 Yellow: Undertaking
- 🟩 Green: Units
- 🟦 Blue: M.L.B. team member
- 🟪 Purple: First words of HBO shows

Today's Connections answers
So, what are today's Connections answers for game #537?
Drumroll, please...
- 🟨 Undertaking: Credit, praise, recognition, thanks
- 🟩 Units: Hertz, mole, second, volt
- 🟦 M.L.B. team member: National, Ray, Tiger, Twin
- 🟪 First words of HBO shows: Boardwalk, Curb, Game Silicon
Got a late start on this one thanks to Turkey day, but it was the right speed for a post-gluttony holiday.
I kicked it off with the blue category and baseball teams seeing Ray, Twin, Tiger and National.
Yellow came next seeing project and venture which lead to enterprise and endeavor. Though the first two I was initially saving for hopefully a space ship theme. No luck.
Hertz, second and volt made sense as a group but I'm still not sure what a mole is a measurement of. I think it's base around chemistry which I was absolutely awful in school.
And we wrapped it up with Boardwalk (Empire), Curb (Your Enthusiasm), Game (of Thrones) and Silicon (Valley) all fairly good HBO shows.
Don't hurt your wallet too much on Black Friday sales.
Yesterday's Connections answers
Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #536, which had a difficulty rating of 2.3 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion.
Today is a relatively gentle puzzle to ease Americans into gluttonous eating and, hopefully, some actual gratitude, I think, the important thing to remember these days.
I saw purple first today which made it easy to go down the line saving purple as a nice denouement. Today, like yesterday, starts with another tease for a "trap" group, today was Thanksgiving related.
Yellow was appreciation with credit, praise, recognition and thanks. Gratitude.
I will always immediately think con-man when I see the word quack before I consider ducks. Thus, finding cheat, con and fake a quick find.
Speaking of gluttony, slow down today, maybe don't bolt, down, gobble or scarf your meal(s).
And we get to Fat Tuesday, Giving Tuesday, Super Tuesday and Taco Tuesday. Taco was my clue into this one.
For anyone who actually reads these little missives below the clues, you have my gratitude and I hope you enjoy these tiny essays.
If you celebrate, I hope you have a happy, relaxing Thanksgiving. If not, enjoy your Thursday.
