Lots of guessing

Is it me or are some of these connections tenous at best, it seems like the quality of the game is diminishing over time, like they are running out of good matches

 I try and do this 'game' most days but I don't post about it because I am usually terrible at it. Something like this is as far from my forte as Shakespeare is to me.
I don't know how some of you figure out these combos but I do agree with Rich in that some days (like today) even when I see the answers I still don't see how anyone can find the answers. I agree that the puzzles seem to be getting, not harder, but more diminishing in quality and some of the combos are so far-fetched, I give tremendous credit to Ed who just seems to nail them every day. I do get them every once in a while and feel good about that, but mostly I fail and fail miserably.  I try though.

It's rare that I get them in four tries. Often the better match is The one I get wrong, like today. But sometimes you have to give up on a combination because there are words that fit a different line of thinking.

Grocery store aisles could have been supermarket departments and I chose fish over snacks first and was wrong. Yellow and Green was obvious after walking away several times. It wasn't obvious at first.

I rarely get purple like today I didn't until it came up.

I knew what blue was. Just couldn't get the right combo as there were red herrings.

I had to guess on green. Shuttlecock was a stretch. I'm losing patience for this game.
