BEWARE: Spoilers follow for todays Connections puzzle!

Scroll slowly if you dont want the whole thing spoiled.
(The full solution is a bit further down.)
The EYEDROPPER allows you to sample color from one part of an image and use it somewhere else.
You might need a special BASEBALL GLOVE to check that it fits your dominant hand.
SOLUTION refers to something that FIXes a problem, but ERASER does not go with them.
What are the categories in todays Connections?
I give them all away below.
What are the yellow words in todays Connections?
The yellow grouping is considered to be the most straightforward.
What are the green words in todays Connections?
The green grouping is supposed to be the second-easiest.
What are the blue words in todays Connections?
The blue grouping is the second-hardest.
What are the purple words in todays Connections?
The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest.
REAP, GATHER, HARVEST, and PICK are all words for gathering crops.
These last eight words are a little trickier.
A MAGIC WAND is something you wave, perhaps to make a problem go away.
I suppose you could wave or twirl a LASSO overhead, too.
A LASSO might be the same.
Not even a one away.
Oh, Ive got it!
ERASER, MAGIC WAND, LASSO, and EYEDROPPER are all tools in Photoshop.
That leaves BASEBALL GLOVE, GOLF CLUB, GUITAR, and CAN OPENER.
Ive used up all my brain juice on that blue category, so lets see what this is.
OBJECTS THAT MAY BE RIGHT- OR LEFT-HANDED?
OK, that… feels like a stretch.
Youll see a game board with 16 tiles, each with one word or phrase.
Your job is to select a group of four tiles that have something in common.
Select four items and hit the Submit button.
If you guessed correctly, the category and color will be revealed.
(Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, then purple.)
If your guess was incorrect, youll get a chance to hit it one more time.
You win when youve correctly identified all four groups.
But if you make four mistakes before you finish, the game ends and the answers are revealed.
Expect to see overlapping groups.
So dont hit submit until youve confirmed that your group of four containsonlythose four things.
If youre stuck, another strategy is to look at the words that seem to havenoconnection to the others.
Check back tomorrow for the next puzzle!
