I am absolutely to think that I am intelligent, to brush this imaginary dust of my shoulder, to put a book on my head and to pretend that I am a genius, etc., but the so-called the hardest group of today was not exactly difficult?
Or, hang on, I may be a genius?! Or maybe the good HQ connections people want to give us all the buzz for obtaining a purple group?
Not that other colors are even more difficult, although the quotient is not a word that you often hear. When you do, it is generally in combination with the product, the amount and the difference, because they all represent answers.
I expect the connections to take revenge on us all tomorrow.

What is NYT connections?
Nyt Connections is one of the many increasingly popular puns produced 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 level of difficulty: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite hard and generally very difficult.
On the positive side, you do not technically need to resolve the last, because you can respond to it by an elimination process. In addition, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little breathing margin.
However, it is a little more involved than something like Wordle, and there are a lot of opportunities so that the game makes you trip with towers. For example, pay attention to homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It is playable for free via the NYT games site on the desktop or mobile.
