greens
blues

That paper category being themed to specifically not include construction is sooo dumb.

I actually got purples before blues, but had no idea what the blues were supposed to be so I figured they were the purples so I thought I'd be slick and go for what I thought was the harder one first by process of elimination. Oops.

I got it, but I'm not going to post it because I got blues by total random guessing without any clue what blue or purple was. I had no idea what SHELLAC meant, and I've never heard of half of the purples.

Getting something by total guessing, even when there's only two groups left, is so unlikely I'd just count it as a win anyway.

There's many times I don't get the last group before revealing. Or I put 4 things together thinking of one group and they are the correct choices but that group isn't right (and indeed wouldn't work if I thought about it more).

I see most people just didn't have the problem of immediately seeing the purples before the greens.

I was thinking the blues were types of signs, and picked accessible as like a wheelchair/handicap accessible sign.

I saw three of the purple before I saw the yellows, but I didn't know petition went in there so especially with all the other overlap I figured the other three were a trap. I also wasn't too sure on greens - I saw name/address/stamp and figured it was "things that go on an envelope," but an envelope doesn't go on an envelope....

today was so easy that I had all 4 categories figured out before answering, and assumed the types of watches were yellows. every answer was me trying to get the category that I thought might be purple of those that remained. lmao

Resisted the urge to try some kind of billiards answer at first, because it looked like at least 5 words related to it.

Oh my god today's puzzle is a nightmare. I have no idea where to even start.

edit: That's not entirely true, I got a "one away" guess, but there are no fewer than six things that could fit that category.

edit again: got it! Once I got yellow everything else fell into place. I don't usually have that experience with Connections, where solving one makes the others apparent, but that definitely happened today.

purples

Got hung up on including opening with the yellows, but I didn't really take in the whole board properly before throwing out my guesses.
