Today’s Connections Category Hints
OCTOBER 30 #507
In today’s puzzle, there aretwo categories of things that are grouped together, but one of them has a much more general tie that can make it hard to spot. The last category is the hardest as always, but it is one of the types of categories thatlooks quite deceptive until you solve it. Luckily, the yellow category today is much less frustrating than it was yesterday, which is good news for all of us.
10 Best Connections Tips, Tricks, & Strategies
Four categories with four words each sounds simple, but the daily challenge of the Connections game can prove difficult without a few tips to help.
Once you have examined the clues and have decided that you still want a bit more help, you cancheck out the four category names below. If you still want a bit more than that, check out the full spoilers further below.

SPIKE
SURGE
This one actually felt like it was supposed to be the easy category today, at least for me. I was very relieved to see it and that I was able to recognize it quickly.SURGE and BOOM were the words that clued me inbefore I had to figure out what the others would be. In the end, there was not much besides SPIKE and RISE that could fit in here, and I was able to knock this one out early. The rest of the categories were not as straightforward.
SKATEBOARD
WAGON
This one was interesting as I sort of suspected that this might be the category, but I missed the final word for a long time. I think that this category is actually harder than the next one, as those are all the same type of thing asopposed to four wildly different objects. I always find it fascinating to see what is considered to be easier or harder than another category, as it is almost never as straightforward in my mind as the puzzle claims but that depends a lot on personal experience.
9 Helpful Tips To Beat The Password Game (& 1 Useless One)
The Password Game can be frustrating as it uses complex mechanics that can be difficult to figure out, even with help.
GAFFER
PACKING
I saw DUCT and ELECTRICAL and thought that this might be about types of tape, but, while I saw PACKING, I wasnot sure what the last kind of tape would be. Luckily, I was on the phone with my dad, and I asked him if GAFFER might be a type of tape. I suspected that it might be because I was only aware of GAFFER as the name of Samwise Gamgee’s father until now. I have learned that it is also an occupation, which I did not know until today.
KRONER
STABLES
BEST BOY was really getting to me as I solved the puzzle and was scratching my head trying to figure out what it might be. I thought it might have to do with horses and therefore STABLES, but while they did go together for other reasons, I could not figure out what the other two words would be. I alsohad no idea what KRONER might be, although “krone” is apparently a type of currency. IDEA was also quite different than the rest of the words, but it makes sense now that I know what it’s supposed to be.
