How the four groups connect
Slang for coffee
BREW, JAVA, MUD, and ROCKET FUEL are informal names for coffee. MUD is the less obvious fit: it is a slang term for a strong or dark cup.
“Aw, heck!”
BLAST, CRUD, CURSES, and FUDGE are mild exclamations or substitutes for stronger profanity.
Considerations for movie ratings
ACTION, LANGUAGE, NUDITY, and SMOKING are types of content that may be considered when rating a film.

What “pop” might mean
BURST, FATHER, POPULAR, and SODA each connect to a meaning of “pop”: something can pop or burst, “pop” can mean father, popular is often shortened to “pop,” and pop is a kind of soda.
How Connections works
Connections presents 16 words and asks players to sort them into four groups of four based on a shared connection. The groups are color-coded by challenge: yellow is the easiest and purple the trickiest. The New York Times says its editors curate words and categories using the Oxford Dictionary, and deliberately include words that may appear to fit more than one group.
