It's a rare day when I complete the purple group before any of the others,
but I've done it a couple of times in the past week. It's often the case with these groups that the connection is a missing word, and so it was with FOOD ___, a moderately tough answer but not too tricky for a purple.

The yellow and green groups were both quite straightforward, although the misdirection of SPHERE, PYRAMID and CONE (three-dimensional shapes?) did confuse me for a while.

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made 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 a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.

On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as
you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.

It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there
are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.

It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
