It's been a long time since I've found a Connections puzzle to be as easy as this one. All four are straightforward collections of things/words, with no more complicated 'blank' types, let alone any real head-scratchers. It was simply a case of solving them one by one, which made the process easier each time as more solutions got removed.
PURPLE: SITCOMS BLOSSOM, COACH, COMMUNITY, FULL HOUSE
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.
