I work at NASA so the Strands was super easy. I solved it about as fast as you did. I also picked SUN TUE WED and SAT as my first guess but I had a feeling it wasn't right. It wasn't. But you're allowed to make 3 mistakes in this puzzle. I think the homophones (I was told homonym in elementary school) is tacky because TUE isn't a word or at least not a word in common use - so I left that one to the end, thinking it couldn't possible be right either. I was trying lo link TUE TO SUN and MAY to "____ DAY" but it's Tuesday not Tueday so I didn't think it would be right (it wasn't, so I was wise to avoid it).

Sometimes if it seems to good to be true then it probably is 😅

I remember there was another Connections that had four obvious brands of cameras and that was a red herring too. I can't remember the day, it was before I began playing the puzzle regularly. I'm sure I would have fell for it if I did play.

I was suspicious of both the homophones and the days of the week, so proceeded carefully and avoided the trap. I gave up on naming Purple, though.

@@TomCee53 Tue is 100% not a word. A bit of deception by the NYT crew.

[@dora.7873]

@@DailyWordPuzzlesWithOranje28 Yes, I thought it was kind of a cheat, since "TUE" is not a real word and seems like a deliberate misdirection. So it's perfectly reasonable to think that it belongs with days of the week. And the repetition of PLACED in the blue category title is definitely not kosher! Seems like an error they overlooked.

[@Tiqerboy]

I described this category as SET DOWN. I think that's what they meant to say. This is why you have puzzle editors.
