What was the yellow? Usually they’re spread across all 4 colours, and I only see Tiger, Toucan, Leprechaun

No yellow, I just guessed at Honey Bee

Actually, I think I got one: Count as in Chocula. Didn’t occur to me because we don’t get them here. But then we don’t get Lucky Charms either..

Got stuck for a bit on the cereal mascots red herring, then realized that I needed COUNT for what ended up as yellow. Then had five striped animals until I saw where TOUCAN actually belonged.

Total failure for me today

I fell for the cereal mascot red herring as well, then still struggled quite a bit to put things right. A good mental workout today.

It’s Wednesday where I live.

Luckily, oblivious to tuesday’s red herring and saw purple right away.

Kept trying to make the red herrings a thing even when they weren’t. Even the green I thought was animated animals.

I saw and clicked green right away, and a good thing too, because if I hadn’t, I totally would have fallen for the red herring (though I didn’t notice that honeybee would also have fit the red herring). Yellow was almost leftovers for me (I saw it, but wasn’t confident in it until it was the only thing left).

Tuesday. I didn’t see the red herring:

ETA: oh, duh. I did see one or two of them but then my mind wandered elsewhere and I forgot about it, because I saw the blue and green categories quickly.

One small mistake but didn’t get purple. Agree that it was dumb.

Can’t see anything wrong with purple.
Very easy one for me.

Rats. String of reverse rainbows broken at four. Blue, green, and yellow seemed of similar difficulty.

It’s Thursday again. This was a tough one for me, but I got it after some consideration.

Didn’t exactly get purple and didn’t approve of green.

For purple I was using snow- rather than dust-

Pretty straightforward, but I initially included bunny in the list of things you find on a lawn

I had yellow already, but as I selected green I thought “you’ve got to be kidding me…” I’m a little shocked it wasn’t purple.
