This may be the easiest Connections puzzle I've ever solved. If not, it's certainly the one I solved in the shortest amount of time: less than two minutes, start to finish. And, interestingly, my playthrough started with the purple group. Maybe that's why I found the rest of it easy; once I got through the supposedly hardest game, everything got easier from there.
Of course, there was a distraction, so maybe I got lucky. Although I suspect others will think it's pretty simple too.

What is 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 have something in common, and each group has a different level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow is a little harder, blue is usually quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
The plus side is that you don't technically need to solve the last one, as you'll be able to answer it by process of elimination. Plus, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a bit of wiggle room.
However, it is a bit more complex than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trick you with tricks. For example, beware of homophones and other wordplay that could disguise the answers.
It can be played for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile devices.
