Tip and answer from today’s Connections November 10 for 518

Don’t let today be the day you lose your streak! If you’re stuck, we can help you understand Response from Connections for today November 10.

If you’ve never played it before, Relationships challenges you to sort a group of 16 words into four groups where all the words are well… connected. This connection could come from the fact that they share a similar meaning, being part of a place name, objects found in a kitchen or anything else really!

Although it may seem easy, the connection groups each have a different difficulty level – yellow being the easiest and purple being the hardest. For this reason, working today’s login answer could be rather tricky. You may get one group right away, but another might be a mystery to you. Fortunately, we are here to help!

Originally developed during the New York Times games department’s annual game jam, the beta version of Connections was released in June 2023. Since then, it has become one of the most popular games the NYTimes has to offer, beaten only by Wordle. Although certain links have been established with BBC Only Connect program

You’ll find hundreds of Connections-style puzzles here, but the problem is that you only have three minutes to solve them.
