It was all worth it, though, as it eventually gave me my second purple first of the week. Although I really think that GUITAR EFFECTS PEDALS should have been classified as the hardest especially as DELAY crossed over into the INTERVAL group.

I stub my toe every other week, so the green group should have been far more obvious to me; last year I stubbed my left big toe so badly that the toenail had to be removed, and that certainly made me CURSE.

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.
