Congratulations if you managed to spot the purple group. It seems simple once you know the thread, but I was blind to it.
A few days ago we had a group containing crime films from different eras and I thought we had a repeat of that today with the supernatural films THE OTHERS, RING, SIXTH SENSE and GHOST.
Boring, but it helped me finish the game from here as I realized they were the clue to the four groups – RING for CELL PHONE MODES, SIXTH SENSE for PREMONITION, and GHOST for BAD THINGS TO DO IN MODERN DATING.

What is NYT Connections?
NYT Connections is one of several 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 more difficult, blue is often quite difficult, and purple is usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you technically don’t need to solve the final question, as you will be able to answer it through a process of elimination. Additionally, you can make up to four mistakes, giving you some breathing room.
However, it’s a bit more complex than something like Wordle, and the game provides plenty of opportunities to trip you up with tricks. For example, watch out for homophones and other puns that could obscure the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT Games website on computer or mobile.
