I was talking about the connection in Purple yesterday, but still didn’t see it. Maybe I would have if the others were not so screamingly obvious.

I found this one a bit challenging, even though there was no real trickery afoot.
I didn’t hit on anything until I’d gotten the previous group out of the way (how my mind works sometimes).

I did figure out purple, even saying the word ”diminutive” out loud, though I thought it was kind of a dumb one.

On Monday’s puzzle, pay attention to the first line of the initial arrangement. It’s important.

Pretty easy although I didn’t immediately see the last one for purple.

Was there actual beef there?

Indignation, I think.

Made some weird logic leaps (I thought I saw parts of names of Musicals at one point) but then seeing the purple made it all come together.

I honestly kind of guessed on blue (flavors? Close enough I guess), but lucked out on it, and then once I had that I was able to figure out purple before I actually clicked it.

No problems with this one. Even saw purple pretty quickly.

The first three came quickly and easily. Any of them could have been yellow IMO.
I got purple, but only after everything else was gone and I looked at the words more closely.

I never heard of an abecedarium before. It reminds me of those idiots who name their babies Abcde. “It’s pronounced abb-si-dee!”

The red herring seemed a bit forced today, especially on purple and blue.

Saw purple first but second-guessed myself as that being the blue category and the blue being purple. I thought I was missing some nuance of blue to make it harder and less stupid than it actually was.
