The New York Times’ Connections puzzle for November 10, 2025, is Puzzle #883.

NYT Connections is a daily word game. Players group 16 words into four categories.

The categories are color-coded by difficulty:

• Yellow = easy
• Green = medium
• Blue = hard
• Purple = tricky

Players have four tries to get all the sets correct. The game is free on mobile and desktop.

Today’s category hints are:

• Yellow: Musical instruments
• Green: Payment
• Blue: Famous quote by Caesar
• Purple: Latin prepositions

The answers are:

• Yellow (Percussion): BELL, DRUM, RATTLE, TRIANGLE
• Green (Debts/Payment): CLEAR, PAY, SETTLE, SQUARE
• Blue (Caesar’s quote): CAME, CONQUERED, I, SAW
• Purple (Latin prepositions): AB, PRO, SINE, SUB

The puzzle difficulty is 4/5, moderate to tricky. The percussion group is easy, but Latin prepositions and Caesar’s quote are harder.

Tips: Start with clear links, shuffle the grid to see patterns, and be careful with guesses.
