I’m sure there were plenty of sausage heads (is that the correct term?) who spotted the purple group right away. Unfortunately, I was not among them.
Instead, my focus was on psychology and what became FREUDIAN CONCEPTS. My mistake occurred because I thought that the ACHILLES HEEL belonged to the OEDIPUS COMPLEX; For me everything is Greek.
From here it was an easy home run, with LAYERED CHARACTERS being a nice group of heroes and villains.

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.
