Connections are always much easier when there are no complicated solutions. That sounds obvious, but what I mean by that is that the four puzzles presented today are simple synonyms or groupings; there are none that involve a blank answer, or homophones, or anything like that.
So it was simply a case of seeing which words fit. They all present more or less the same difficulty; I solved the purple 'underwear' group first, then the green 'room for manoeuvre' and the blue 'proceed', and although I'm just one example, the fact that I wasn't stumped over a couple of the more difficult groups at the end suggests to me that, on the whole, this is easier.

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 elements 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.
It is, however, a bit more complicated than something like Wordle and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up 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.
