I'll have to work out how to post those colour blocks.

Today's was only ★☆☆☆☆/5 difficulty so I'm glad I didn't start off with a toughie.

Did not figure out blue today. Process of elimination.

Process of elimination for purple. If you got purple today, amazing job.

Fairly terrible but at least I got purple with a couple of attempts. As you can see the red herring flummoxed me on the first attempt.

I had the first three figured out and was working on purple. I knew it was purple, and I knew the 4, but I didn't know how they were related. I was noodling on it and considering entering everything without solving the last category. Then I said it out loud to my wife - who got it immediately. I entered the results and left purple last to reflect that I never got the category.

Purple was a lot more lateral than literal out of the three games I've encountered up until now.

One of the blue words was such an obscure synonym for me.

I'm not a fan of categories like purple today. I know which blue word you're talking about, and I waffled between that one and from purple.

I'm an amateur...

I found today's difficult. Mostly because I couldn't suss out one single entry in blue.
