Each category represents a specific theme, including wordplay like palindromes and homophones. Further, these categories are marked by colors, which denote the difficulty of the said category. Four colors — yellow, green, blue, and purple — appear in Connections, with yellow being the easiest and purple the toughest.

Today’s NYT Connections is another relatively easy grid. However, admittedly, we did try to put MEETING, SITTING, RUNNING, and WORKING in the same category, believing that one of today’s Connections is words ending with -ing. We were proven wrong. Afterward, it made sense to group RUNNING and WORKING with ACTIVE and FUNCTIONAL, and MEETING and SITTING with Period and SESSION. We had the easiest time deciphering the Blue category. The purple one was undoubtedly the hardest, but given that all the other words were already placed in other categories, the remaining were effectively sorted by default.
