New York Times Connections puzzle answers released for Monday
Players can now see the solutions for the New York Times Connections game number 1247 published on Monday November 9.
Today's specific word groups
The yellow category contains four deceitful schemes including a con job and a shell game. The green group lists descriptors for jeans such as bootcut and distressed styles. Blue answers include items with serrated edges like a grapefruit spoon and a tape dispenser. Purple answers end in sea creatures featuring a card shark and a navy seal.
Puzzle difficulty assessment
The puzzle editor rated this specific game as easy despite the tricky blue category. A perfect score was possible if players identified the jagged element group correctly first. The yellow section proved difficult because many people did not realize what a shell game is. This trick has existed since ancient Greece and often fools tourists in New Orleans.
Previous Sunday answers
Yesterday's puzzle on November 8 featured hair salon services as the yellow category theme. That previous game included blowouts and color treatments alongside extensions and trims for its four answers. The current Monday edition follows immediately after that Sunday release at midnight for each time zone.
