This might be the easiest Connections puzzle I’ve ever solved. If not, it’s certainly the one I solved in the shortest time: less than two minutes, start to finish. And, unusually, my game started with the purple group. Maybe that’s why I found the rest of it easy; once the supposedly hardest game was behind me, it only got easier.
There was of course some deception going on here, so maybe I just got lucky. I suspect others will find this pretty easy too.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games from the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that have something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a bit harder, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically have to solve the last question, because you can answer it by elimination. Plus, you can make a maximum of four mistakes, which gives you some breathing room.
It is a bit more complicated than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other wordplay that can obscure the answers.
It is free to play via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
