If you are struggling to proceed with today’s Connections puzzle, you can use our strategies to help you finish faster. Sometimes you can get a good hunch from a puzzle, but other times it is a lot harder to do so. If you are trying to get a perfect finish, you will want to know as much as you can about the categories ahead of time. With the hints we have for you, you can get the categories and then the puzzle solved easily.
Like Connections, the daily Wordle puzzle is all about making logical deductions and figuring out which letters go where. In an attempt to make a 5-letter word, you will be deciding what vowels are likely to go where, and it is a great way to test your memory of spelling rules and all of the exceptions. There are a lot of similar puzzles, as you can see at the end of this article, but none of them are quite the same as the original one that continues to persist even now.
Today’s Connections Category Hints
NOVEMBER 03 #511
I found today’s puzzle challenging at first glance, but when I stepped away and came back to the puzzle a little while later I found it a bit easier. That is often tip number one when you feel stuck in a puzzle like this, as fresh eyes often spot new evidence. However, to help speed that process along, we also have some hints for you that will give you some sense of what the categories are.
- One category is about adjectives describing something people often find cute
- One category is about what you feel when something is off
- One category is about four different types of things that happen in a public building
- One category is about four words that come after the same word in a phrase – that word has to do with difficulty

HEARTWARMING |

|---|---|---|---|
|
MOVING |
SWEET |
TENDER |
TOUCHING |
I did not get this category until much later in the puzzle, which is always a very weird feeling for me. For whatever reason, these words did not stand out to me when I was looking at the puzzle. However, with only 8 words left something seemed to click with I saw TENDER and TOUCHING. After that, the only word that could possibly belong here that did not was LISTENING, and that one was fairly easy to eliminate. Sometimes things just take a minute to click and that is totally fine.

SNEAKING SUSPICION |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
|
FEELING |
HUNCH |
IMPRESSION |
SENSE |
I had a sneaking suspicion that this category was exactly what I imagined when I saw HUNCH and SENSE. It did not take me very long to spot this one, as opposed to the first category. Once I saw those two, my eye also caught IMPRESSION and FEELING. While FEELING could have gone with some of the other “senses” words like TOUCHING or HEARING, it was not hard to put it here once I grouped the other three. However, those words can be red herrings if you are not paying attention, so be careful when you guess.

HEARING |
INQUIRY |
PROCEEDING |
TRIAL |
I got this one second after eliminating FEELING from the potential pool of categories after that. I looked at HEARING to see what else it might go with, as LISTENING was a big possibility. However, as I was looking I spotted INQUIRY, and from there it was just a matter of finding the other two words. It didn’t take long, as nothing else sounded remotely like a legal matter. However, when I finished this one I was left with the remaining 8 words that I had to come back to later to solve.

EASY ___ |

|---|---|---|---|
|
CHAIR |
LISTENING |
MONEY |
STREET |
If you are looking for Easy MONEY, Connections is probably not the place to find it. However, I did find it when I was solving the last bit of this puzzle. I am not entirely sure what Easy CHAIR is, because my first thought upon seeing the category was that it should have been Easy Bake Oven. This is a truly unfortunate absence from the puzzle, and I am sad that it was not included. However, I can see where that might have been too big of a clue for those familiar with them.
