Once you've finished, go into the bot where it says "You completed today’s puzzle! Let’s analyze your game" and click "Share" as shown in the image below, then the result can be pasted into your post. Let me know if I'm not making sense, it wouldn't be the first time today πŸ˜‚

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.

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.
