The purple group fell into the category of if you know it, its easy, but beyond the miracle of getting the most difficult quartet first I struggled today and only just completed the round.

My first diversion was thinking that STINK and FUNK indicated a smells group, then I switched tack and went for MUSIC GENRES but included ROCK instead of POP, then ROCK instead of FUNK, before finally getting it right.

Age was the barrier for the final group, as I confused the meanings of EAT
and BITE before getting lucky. Phew!

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.
