NYT Connections #1240: November 2 hints, answers and tips to solve today’s puzzle
How Connections works
The puzzle presents 16 words that must be sorted into four categories. Several words may seem to belong together, but only one grouping is correct. Players can rearrange the board to make patterns easier to spot. Categories are color-coded from yellow to green, blue and purple, in order of increasing difficulty. Results can also be shared on social media.
Hints for November 2
One group consists of things to bring on a trek. Another includes objects or places with mirrors. The article does not provide hints for the other two categories before revealing the answers.
The puzzle answers
The trek group is BACKPACK, COMPASS, HIKING BOOTS and WATER BOTTLE. The mirror-related group is DISCO BALL, DRESSING ROOM, KALEIDOSCOPE and MEDICINE CABINET. The article lists those two groups but does not give the answers for the remaining categories. It also points readers to the previous day’s solution, without stating what that solution was.
