I have failed at Tuesday’s puzzle. And I am not happy with these categories at all. Green was too vague. Purple was a real stretch. Blue was completely foreign to me. Utter nonsense.

Relatively easy except Blue I got by elimination - I knew some of the set but some (BOAT, QUADS)were unknown to me.

In an unusual twist, i might have gotten purple, but would never have gotten green or blue.

I really never got the last two puzzles. I had never heard one of the terms for blue which made me think it wasn’t a category. Got green but was on completely the wrong track.
Crashed completely for the second day in a row. I actually got purple to start but botched up the rest. Must be losing my touch.
I got yellow and purple today, totally missed blue and green. Primarily because I’m very unfamiliar with Poker terms.
It is Wednesday now. And this time was much easier, but still had its challenges. I did sidestep the red herring, though.
Puzzle #941
The term boats looked very vaguely kind of familiar for that category, enough that (together with the more obvious ones) I eventually got it. Though not until after hitting the red herring.
Yeah, i even noticed two poker terms, but couldn’t find any others.

Easy.
Nice red herring. Avoided it. Didn’t figure out purple.

Fell for the red herring then didn’t get purple. Still think the red herring was a better category.
After a rough couple of days, got today’s (red herring notwithstanding).

I’d actually dispute today’s purple (which I also didn’t get). You press garlic and trousers, but you don’t press wine or cider but rather grapes and apples.

I settled in after some early jitters. I thought blue was going to be religious symbols and couldn’t figure out which religion uses a stripe as its symbol.

Puzzle #941
Needed an easy one. Back on track after two very bad days. Didn’t even notice the red herring because I saw yellow immediately.
______ PRESS would have been better wording for the category. You squeeze the apples in a cider press and the grapes in a wine press.
Thursday, and I failed again. I was going down the complete wrong path, and they were talking about something I had no idea was even a thing.
Puzzle #942
For Wednesday, the red herring was the second thing I’d found, but I already had yellow, so I eventually realized that the fourth word I was looking for was already used, and thus it was a red herring. Though I was briefly tempted by I do not drink… wine.

Fell for the red herring again and didn’t get purple although the red herring should have helped.
