They seem to be making more of an effort to have possible answers that fit more than one group

I couldn't figure out the connection for the last category, and it was quite a surprise when the answer was revealed.

Rushed a bit at the first one but the mistake helped out working out what the second one was. They are definitely getting better at putting in red herrings.

I don't think they are even trying to be ambiguous.

There were 2 rather pathetic attempts at red herrings but that's the fastest I've done it in - less than a minute.

Have to admit to not knowing 2 of the last were what they were but got it by getting the other three groups. No ambiguities that I could see.

Shouldn't this thread be in 'Sports, hobbies and interests', like Wordle?

Yes, in my opinion.

One red herring, and while I could see the last 4 were a group in one way, I didn't get the actual connection.

Failed today. I was down to two but couldn't see the categories for either.

Is your purple the same as my purple? i.e. the two pronunciations one?

Yep, the colour coding is consistent, no matter the user. The 2 pronounciations just seems a bit random. Would they have put scone there?

I think that the colour coding is meant to go green - easiest, yellow next easiest, blue next, purple last.

The issue with the purple here is that at least one word only has a second pronounciation as regards one specific American pronounciation, and that accents might lead to different pronounciations of a lot more words.
