I absolutely knew I was falling into a trap today, but I couldn’t help but connect ACID, GARAGE, INDUSTRIAL and HIPPIE as types of house music, although I did think about including GREEN instead of INDUSTRIAL.
With this noise bug I lucked out with a purple color first, although I originally just had BUNNY EARS and CROSSED FINGERS, thinking the group had something to do with good luck before realizing I was thinking rabbit feet.
Fortunately, I managed to avoid another mistake when putting together the final groups, although I briefly thought that HOUSE, FRENCH, and GREEN were all dress types.

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.
