Either it's been a very easy week in Connections, or I've been in a groove. I suspect more of the former than the latter, because I've not been excelling in Wordle, particularly. But in Connections at least, it's been easy going.
Today's puzzle has one more difficult group, as is usually the case, in the form of purple. This is a homophones type, which can be hard to identify but which are usually not too bad to solve once you realize what's going on. But if you're like me you won't have needed to solve it anyway, as the other three were all very simple synonyms. I'm almost hoping for a really difficult one, now!

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
