I would object to purple since it mixes two different things IMO.

Yellow and green were easy enough. Blue was Easy except I had to guess one of them. I haven't even heard of one of the purples.

Not easy. I could see what the last two categories were but I couldn't get them sorted.

Had trouble getting in today. Eventually succeeded by searching for "Connections" within NYT and clicking in the link in the first result.

Hmm. One of those only works if you pronounce a word in a way I don't usually pronounce it.

Pity about the first row, pretty though it is. I went for the too-obvious link. Otherwise, as NS says, fairly easy.

Struggled with the yellow category trying to figure out the fourth item until I realised that purple was bleedin' obvious.

Unusual to get purple first, but it seemed pretty obvious to me. As for blue - the category occurred to me, but only two seem to fit.

Not as clever as it was trying to be. I think blue is questionable, and yellow is just a bit shite.

The connection for blue is just wrong. I thought of a broader one that works.

Being pedantic, I'd say the yellow one was also wrong.

They've changed the name of the blue category, and you can play again! ;D
Still not sure the blue category is correct.

Blue category is just as wrong as it was before.

I won't say any more because Aruntraveller hasn't submitted a new attempt.

It's ok, he has.

ETA - sorry, not a new one.
