NYT Connections Hints & Answers for Nov. 24, 2025 (#897)

Today’s NYT Connections puzzle (#897) delivers a tricky mix of category types — including objects, everyday scenarios, and a classic purple group that hides color words at the ends of longer terms. While the yellow and blue groups are easy to spot, the green and purple categories may trip up even experienced solvers. If you’re stuck or want to check your board, here’s the full breakdown.

Connections requires sorting 16 words into four groups of four, starting with the simplest category (yellow) and ending with the cleverest and most abstract (purple). Today’s puzzle leans heavily on household knowledge, travel experiences, and color identification — but with a twist.

Here are the official clues and full solutions.
