I didn’t see the purple group today. Congratulations if you did it.
Maybe I didn’t realize it because CHANNEL browsing is no longer part of the mainstream COUCH Potato mentality. The zapper of the 2000s is the scroller of the 20s and today, instead of scrolling through the stations in search of instant gratification, we will get our doses of dopamine through on-demand video clips.
My mistake came with the COMPONENTS OF A WEIGHTLIFTING SETUP. I was on the right track, but I chose FRAME instead of RACK, possibly indicating how infrequently I go to the gym (I’m too busy commuting).

What are NYT connections?
NYT Connections is one of the increasingly popular word games created by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four elements that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don’t technically need to solve the final question since you’ll be able to answer it through a process of elimination. What’s more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing room.
However, it’s a little more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For example, be careful with homophones and other puns that could disguise answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
