I didn’t see the purple group today. Kudos if you did.
Maybe I was blind to it because CHANNEL surfing is no longer a part of the dominant COUCH Potato mindset. The zapper of the '00s is the scroller of the '20s and today instead of whizzing through stations in search of instant gratification we’ll get our dopamine hits from on-demand video clips.
My mistake came with COMPONENTS OF A WEIGHTLIFTING SETUP. I was on the right track, but I chose FRAME instead of RACK — which possibly tells you how infrequently I go to the gym (I’m too busy scrolling).

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.
