November 8, 2025's NYT Connections puzzle is practical and picture-friendly. Two groups are super concrete (ship parts and device unlock methods), one is vocabulary about price, and one is a playful cartoon-theme set. Fast wins if you picture the item or say the phrase out loud.

Quick Strategy Tip

This puzzle rewards literal thinking and a tiny bit of sound-checking. Best solve order: lock the concrete visual groups first (block/close words and language types), then the announcement verbs, and finish by saying the purple words with “I” in front — the homophone/prefix trick clicks fast when spoken aloud.
