Solutions For Today’s NYT Connection (November 30)
In Connections, players group words into four categories Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple—each increasing in difficulty.
Today’s set of words seems particularly easy, but don’t be misled proving quite a challenge to group them.

Upon closer analysis, you can group words like Jazz, Modern, Swing, and Tap together.
In today’s NYT Connections, “Jazz” carries the meaning of a form of instrumental and vocal music characterized by syncopated rhythms and an informal style.
The other words represent different dance styles, and grouping them forms the yellow group titled “Dance Styles.“

Knuckle And Screw Meaning In NYT Connections With Purple Group Answers
With only eight words left to group into two categories, I quickly formed the next group.
I found Knuckle and Screw related, as “Knuckle” refers to a baseball pitch thrown to minimize the ball’s spin.
Similarly, a “Screw” is a ball pitched with reverse spin compared to a curveball. Together with Curve and Fast, they formed the purple group titled “Ball Pitches.“
