Tricky, at least for me. I didn't like the blue set, never looked at one of the words that way.

I always look at everyone’s order of answers. It reinforces to me how different we are based on the variation of the word and pattern recognition.

Was pretty sure about purple at first - after a couple of other guesses, it became obvious.

Yes, it depends on each person's domain knowledge. You know stuff I don't know, so those relationships jump out at you, and vice versa for me.
I'm very impressed with Wyna Liu, the lady who designs Connections. I bet coming up with four daily word relationships of more or less graduated difficulty is a lot harder than solving the puzzles themselves.
