Complete crash and burn today. Just couldn’t quit the red herring, even after I got the mild expletives.

I saw the red herring after finding purple. The purple words just couldn’t possibly go anywhere else. ETA: looks like there was a museum I hadn’t even heard of in the purples, so my ignorance was an advantage here.

Easy. Blue felt more like a Green type deal, and Purple was piss.

Motored through this one.

Pretty straightforward although

I didn’t know that iron man was a song.

I wasn’t as specific on purple as the answer was, the subject matter being one of my weakest areas.

Guessed wrong on yellow vs. green, seemed of similar difficulty

I think the order was fairly random; I feel like I could have gotten any one of them had I happened to focus on those words. But I like to get the boxes out of the way as I see them.

Was there even a red herring today?

2409

Maybe CHARM, MACHO, APPEAL, and RECEPTION???

Anyway, here are my results for Thursday.

Purple was way too simple a connection, IMO, and overall super easy. Sub-30 seconds.

Easy one today. Main issue was figuring out the order for my RR. ROSTRUM was a leftover for me so I guessed purple.. The rest was luck.

2414

Thought blue was purple. Oh well.

I thought blue was yellow, actually. Easiest one in an easy bunch.

Statistics agrees with you with blue being most commonly found first.

It’s Friday. Rejoice.

Yeah, all of Thursday was easy for me. I did blue first just because my mind is naturally drawn to Lego kits, but I could have started with any word pretty much as easily.

2419

I had the same result. I actually spotted and called blue and purple correctly as I was working the puzzle out, but decided to switch them at the last second thinking blue was more of a “purple” category than purple was. Oh well.
