Today's Connections Hints & Answers For April 25, 2024 (Puzzle #318)

After yesterday's devastating loss, we needed a win in today's , and we scored it. One of our favorite ways to win is to get each category in the order the game provides as 'most straightforward' to 'trickiest' which is yellow, green, blue, and purple.
