New York Times Connections Hints and Answers for #179 December 7, 2023

Connections is a short daily game with an interesting and innovative premise. The rules of Connections are briefly that players must figure out four mystery categories based on sixteen words. Each category only has four words in it, and none of the words can overlap. The puzzle today is pretty unique in that most of the “words” don’t seem to actually be words at all. In order to get through today, players might want some hints in the form of the definitions of the words, clues to the categories, or just the full spoiler.
