I think I may have got half a point for my purple connection!

(I am as baffled by the illustration as everyone in the NYT comments section!)

My purple connection was a bit vaguer than theirs.

What illustration @goldtrap ?

If you click the lightbulb it takes you to clues and comments. There is always a cryptic illustration which is usually a clever play on some of the words, but today it doesn't seem to fit any. Then there are comments at the bottom (a forum like here!)

Did some googling of things I thought might be a group

Chuffed with that as it was tricky

Google did some heavy lifting after I looked at hints. So yeah...I cheated 😎 First two lines all my myself though. GBD

That's interesting. Have never noticed that🤭 I use nyt connections word tips which gives a hint, then the group name, then option to see the words. Hidden till you click on them.
I find it more rewarding to try to work it out from hints if i get stuck. Random stabbing gets me nowhere so my excuse is I get to use my brain and learn new things 😇

I only knew three of the greens and my first guess of the fourth was a bit silly. I thought blue was something else. Purple took a while to fathom even when I knew what it was.

@WinterFrogs - I often do that too if I’m stuck. Even with using hints I sometimes still fail. I do look at the NYT hints but only the first bit. I don’t look at the chat bit in case of spoilers.

My USA undergrad year helped for this one. I was in the right ballpark for purple, not quite the right connection.

That was more work than I wanted with a hangover.
