Why the trickier groups fit
Eddie Murphy roles
AKEEM, DOLITTLE, DONKEY, and FOLEY are character names associated with roles played by Eddie Murphy.
King __
Add “King” before CAKE, COBRA, KONG, and TUT to make the familiar phrases or names King Cake, King Cobra, King Kong, and King Tut. That shared-word pattern is the purple connection.
