.. This might be the easiest Connections puzzle in weeks – to the extent that I solved the blue and purple groups first, in about two minutes flat.

I got blue first, with the word SCRATCHY immediately standing out due to my love of The Simpsons (classic era, obviously; we're talking seasons 3-9, no more).
