@happinessischocolate that was a rhetorical question to make the point it was hard! You need to edit your post or have it deleted so you don't spoil today's puzzle for everyone

Wait...there's a thread where I can moan about the ridiculous groups on connections?! This is very exciting.

Welcome @Caerulea , you've found your people!

Apparently so @ThePoshUns & I'm delighted. Do these daily with my teen sons. 16yo was so incensed by one of the groups recently he actually emailed the NYT 😬

You’ve brought him up right ❤️

Haha, it was one that included plastic & the grouping something to do with being maleable or soft I can't quite remember but he was really put out that plastic shouldn't have been there 'mum! I'm literally doing physics & chemistry A-levels!'

I was like 'ok, you email the NYT at 1am then!'

For the first time I'm thinking 'how obvious was the purple group'
