For Monday, I was glad that I took Latin in high school.

Agreed Purple was dumb

Like pulykamel said, SINE, SQUARE, TRIANGLE, SAW(tooth) are all waveforms, I especially know from the labels on knobs in synthesizer controls where it’s usually SAW not SAWTOOTH

Gave up on trying to figure everything out at once. Confidently got yellow wrong a couple of times. Boy was purple leftovers…

Lots of words that could be in multiple categories today, making it much harder than average. Also agree with @GuanoLad regarding the purple category, though I’m guessing both of us are Android rather than iOS people.

I wouldn’t have gotten purple in a million years. Had to think very carefully about the others too.

What is the difficulty rating of this one?

2228

Difficulty was 2/5, with 77% solve rate

I found everything after purple equally easy, and completely guessed wrong on how the Connections editors would edit it. To their credit, blue actually was quite a ways behind yellow and green and the first category guessed, but those two were almost equal in difficulty (as judged by what percentage got that category first.)

I tried to put BASE in the makeup category. After that, it all fell pretty quickly. Purple was pure leftovers though.

Oof, Tuesday was tough. I did manage to get it, but only just barely, and because I eventually managed to guess close-enough on Purple (I was thinking icons, but not more specific than that).

3/5 difficulty, according to the bot. I found this one quite easy, immediately seeing purple and blue but guessing which one was purple and blue incorrectly. Took under a minute to solve.

I didn’t have much difficulty with Wednesday, but “GOLF” and “GOAT” did seem a bit out of place in that set of words.
