Years of watching a British TV show called The Great Pottery Throwdown is the only reason I got todays yellow group. The rest were all by chance.
WALLOP I thought was about boxing terminology and the blue group I thought
was something to do with double meanings, because both READING and NICE are cities as well as words. I ended up being wrong but also right, which is the beauty of Connections sometimes. Yesterday's NYT Connections answers

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.
