What are the ambiguous words in todays Connections?

What are the categories in todays Connections?
Yellow: BRIEF MOMENT
Green: PRIMARY
Blue: AVENUES IN N.Y.C.
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.
The theme for todays blue category is AVENUES IN N.Y.C.
and the words are: BROADWAY, FIFTH, MADISON, PARK.
(In New York City, the avenues run north-south and streets run east-west.
Broadway doesnt have Avenue in its name, but its a mostly north-south street.)
What are the purple words in todays Connections?
The purple grouping is considered to be the hardest.
So I started looking for other meanings to the words.
SECOND is a short length of time, like a WINK or a JIFFY.
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 take another crack.
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.
