Today's Connections Hints & Answers For November 29, 2024 (Puzzle #537)

If you are looking to succeed at the venture of beating the Connections puzzle today, you might need a few hints and tricks to do so. Today was not my day specifically, with two big categories with subjects I would not recognize off the bat. This can make it quite difficult to finish a puzzle when that is the case, and I would have liked a nudge in the right direction myself. With that in mind, I can help you do what I could not and finish the puzzle.

If you want a puzzle that will take a longer time to solve and with a unique twist every day, you should check out The Password Game. It has the same fifteen rules every day but the details change. This is because it involves things like solving the daily Wordle or solving a clue from a map that you have to guess correctly. This makes it a new and different game every day that you will have to figure out and solve on your own.

Today’s Connections Category Hints

NOVEMBER 29 #537

This puzzle is mostly difficult because of the subject of two of the categories – mainly because the way they are set up means that the words otherwise look completely unrelated. Even one of the easier categories has words that might not look related if you did not know the category. However, knowing the categories changes the difficulty by quite a bit, so here are four clues about the categories:

One category is about something you are starting to do
One category is about different things that can be measured
One category is about representatives of various groups of the same conference
One category is about pieces of names from a specific brand of media

Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

UNDERTAKING
ENDEAVOR	ENTERPRISE	PROJECT	VENTURE

This category was the easiest and the one I got right away. ENDEAVOR was what tipped me off when I also saw VENTURE. From there, it was simply a matter of finding ENTERPRISE and PROJECT, which did not take long. Seeing as there were not any other words that fit the same idea, it was not very difficult. However, this would not be the case for the whole puzzle and would not last much longer. Unfortunately, the rest of the categories were a bit more complicated than usual, and it was not as easy as finding some synonyms.

UNITS
HERTZ	MOLE	SECOND	VOLT

This category was not overly difficult. It might have been more so, but I did recognize HERTZ for what it was fairly quickly. I did go through some other associations with the word first but settled on the measurement when I connected it to VOLT. Figuring out that SECOND and MOLE also belonged here caused me to take a minute as I considered what the right words should be, but it didn’t take me too long. It was actually MOLE that took the longest, but that might have been because of the presence of TIGER later on.

NATIONAL	RAY	TIGER	TWIN

This was where it all started to fall apart, and it made me quite sad that it was again a sports problem. Perhaps I really should just start studying sports for all I’m worth. The frustrating part was I kept being “one away” so I was on the right track, but somehow I managed to conflate the two categories even with that. It made it impossible to narrow down to the four words I actually needed, and I didn’t know either subject enough to figure out what the four words were.

FIRST WORDS OF HBO SHOWS
BOARDWALK	CURB	GAME	SILICON

In the last category, I was not really sure what was going on, and the words felt very disconnected at first glance. However, once I saw what the category was, I did recognize some of the shows. Even then, I didn’t recognize all of them likely because some of them I hadn’t seen. It was a sad moment for me, perhaps realizing that I either do or do not have my television priorities right. I haven’t quite decided which at the moment, and likely won’t decide until I do watch all four.
