It’s Tuesday where I live, and sure I get to play the game early, but I also have to deal with Americanisms. Worse, Sports Americanisms

I got Monday, but as often happens, purple was leftovers. I probably could have figured it out, but I’m not as motivated to do so when I can just click-click-click-click.

I thought yellow was going to be a red herring so I resisted it.

Also I don’t know sports.

Got one Green wrong initially (I thought Aces fit in there) but otherwise quite straightforward.

Other than a slight hiccup, this one seemed pretty easy for me.

It’s Wednesday. I got them all with no errors despite not knowing what Copypasta is. Also never heard of a Pharaoh Ant.

This was very hard for me after the first two categories. I was on the right track with blue but wasn’t sure they were all real things so I eventually just gave in and guessed. Never got purple. Never heard of

Copypasta

Exactly what I came to say.

Same and same, except I left purple for last and never would have figured it out otherwise.

Copypasta is what us Gen Xers in the early days of the Internet used to call Glurge. Stuff that is copied and passed around the internet.

Thursday, and I think there were a lot of red herrings, as it was a collection that could have gone in many directions.

Easy one for me today. I did see DUCKY, BIRDIE, KITTY, and DOGGY, but quickly disregarded them as the correct groupings jumped out almost immediately - even purple.
