NYT Connections Puzzle 905: Hints, Categories, and Solutions for December 2-3PreviousNext

The New York Times' daily Connections puzzle, number 905, presented a mix of straightforward and challenging word groupings for players on December 2nd and 3rd. The game requires players to sort 16 words into four categories of four, with themes ranging in difficulty from yellow (easiest) to purple (hardest). Some categories, like Peter Pan characters or words preceding 'Figure,' were relatively clear, while others, such as 'campaign,' 'appeal,' and 'lobby,' or misleading museum names like MET and MOMA, proved trickier for solvers.
