At least this time I knew what the purple connection was going to be before I clicked Submit. Sometimes I don't even have that going for me.

A mini AHA moment when I finally realized how the Purples were connected.

That one took a long time.

I asked three different AI sites to solve it. They all failed miserably.

I thought AI might do better with an easier Connections, so I went to the archive and used yesterday's. ChatGPT and Claude did badly. But Google's Gemini aced it. That's because it found the answers on the Internet. It even included the colors of the groups and the explanation. But with the Purples, it got the explanation wrong. Still, I have to admit, the explanation it did come up with is almost plausible.
Group 4: Golden Girls (Purple)
Girls
Fleece (material used for clothing, often associated with comfort)
Parachute (used for a safe descent, potentially similar to feeling secure)
Rule (can be interpreted as a way to live comfortably or with confidence)
This group is a bit more creative. It connects the word "girls" with words that evoke feelings of comfort, security, and confidence, which could be seen as qualities associated with the characters in the TV show "Golden Girls."

My first impulse was the same as your Line 1, but then I saw it wouldn't work.

I had to back-solve to see what you tried... I'm so glad I was oblivious to that idea!
