Right, the answers are below, so DO NOT SCROLL ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT

The answers to today's Connections, game #396, are YELLOW: SCHOOL SUPPLIES 
PEN, RULER, SCISSORS, TAPE GREEN: FUNDAMENTAL ESSENTIAL, KEY, PRINCIPAL, 
STAPLE BLUE: TRANSFER GIVE, HAND, PASS, SEND PURPLE: LIGHT-UP SIGNS APPLAUSE, 
EXIT, RECORDING, WALK My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

The NYT threw a lot of misdirection into today's Connections. Most concerned 
school  where PRINCIPAL and PASS could easily have fit alongside the actual 
answers, while STAPLE and KEY could also potentially have played a part. 
Although when I write it down now, it doesn't seem like the connection was 
that strong, but at the time I felt a bit confused. 

Anyway, after puzzling over it for a while I focused on the FUNDAMENTAL 
connection, picking ESSENTIAL, KEY, PRINCIPAL and STAPLE. Next, I looked at 
APPLAUSE and RECORDING and thought of TV studios, then added EXIT and WALK to 
form the supposedly toughest purple group. Yellow  which was indeed SCHOOL 
SUPPLIES  was now much easier to solve, which left blue to complete by 
default.

BRIDGE, LENS, RIM, TEMPLE What is NYT Connections? 

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.
