Today's Connections answer — hints to help you solve it

Each category's difficulty level is represented by a color; yellow is the easiest grouping, and purple is the most challenging. Once you've made 4 mistakes in your guesses, the answers will be revealed, so hints can be helpful.
Today's Connections words are: Pound, Locker, Level, Crater, Nail, Hills, Cape, Hanger, Pulse, Hammer, Beat, Gorge, Ball, Ridge, Prints, Thump
If you need hints to solve the groupings, then here are the themes of each, based on the order of difficulty:
- 🟨 Yellow: Throb
- 🟩 Green: Landforms
- 🟦 Blue: Picture hanging needs
- 🟪 Purple: Foot ___

So, what are today's Connections answers for game #665?
Drumroll, please...
- 🟨 Aloof: Beat, Pound, Pulse, Thump
- 🟩 Landforms: Cape, Crater, Gorge, Ridge
- 🟦 Picture hanging needs: Hammer, Hanger, Level, Nail

I've been fighting off a headache all day, so it was easy to spot today's yellow category with Beat, Pound, Pulse, and Thump.
I grew up near the Chesapeake Bay, so when I saw Cape, I immediately started thinking of peninsulas. I looked around to see what other geographical terms I could find, and scored the rest of the green category with Gorge, Crater, and Ridge.
I started rounding up all the tool-related terms I could find and ended up stumbling on the blue category with Hammer, Hanger, Level, and Nail.
That left only purple with Ball, Hills, Locker, and Print.

Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #665, which had a difficulty rating of 3.5 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion.
I went down the line yesterday, starting with the green category, which weirdly turned out to be the easiest with Cable, Gas, Trash, Water — all mainstays anyone would recognize from their monthly bills.
Then I dug into what I remembered from high school shop class to come up with Charge, Current, Resistance, and Voltage for the blue category.
After that, I noticed a few synonyms floating around in the few clues left so I scooped up Cool, Distant, Remote, and Reserved to complete the yellow category.
That left purple as today's rote fill with Dovetail, Hip, Pizza, and Spike Lee.
