A Connections word walks into a bar.
The barman says: Sorry we dont serve your type here.
I struggled with blue today. I knew DEVIL DOGS were a type of cake, but I couldnt think of the other two until a vague memory of a Simpsons episode
came to mind one where Homer has to choose between a winning lottery ticket or a YODEL and choses a Yodel. Mmm Yodels.
This LIGHT BULB moment got me over the line on my final guess. Yesterday's

NYT Connections is one of several increasingly popular word games made by the New York Times. It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green
is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.
On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as
you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.
It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there
are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.
It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.
