I incorrectly thought the latter was the name for a bootlace tie, but I now
know it's the name of an ancient abacus.

Eventually I got there and after eliminating the blue group, UNITS OF TV PROGRAMS suddenly seemed blindingly obvious.

As someone who has written a fair amount of PUFF pieces (I had a short-lived job writing press releases about ovens) I really should have solved the
purple group alas, it passed me by. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers (Friday, May 8, game #1062) YELLOW: CANOODLING FIRST BASE, MAKING OUT, NECKING, TONSIL HOCKEY GREEN: FIVE-SIDED THINGS HOME PLATE, JEANS BACK

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.
