I couldn’t put all the groups in order of difficulty. If I had, it would have been my third “perfect” day in a row. It’s not that he was really trying, more that he hoped it would all turn out this way.
I actually felt like all of today’s groups were equally easy: the purple group of SINGULAR GLASSES might have been the yellow/easiest group, and the yellow group of tiles describing a COHORT MEMBER might have been the purple/hardest group.
There was also an absence of red herrings, unless one was tempted to link GOGGLE, LOOK, PEER and SCHEME into a group about spying. In other words: an easy day.

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 items 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.
