Took a little thinking but got them all eventually.

OK Folly, just because you see it last, doesn’t mean that it’s purple.

Was a little surprised the Purple panned out.

Yeah, Saturday’s purple was really easy.

I’ve heard “book it”, and “split” used to mean take off. And “jet” at least implies motion. But “dip”?

Also, where’s the word play? I thought people might be blue, because mole is a little obscure. Or a red herring. But i was really surprised it was purple.

2748

For a particular class of nerds (of which I am one). Usually purple has some sort of trick to it, so I guessed my leftovers first and missed my RR:

I’ve not heard of “book it” in that context. Jets (aircraft) do take off so I thought that was the connection there, but agreed no idea of the connection between dip and take-off

2750

I have heard “I’ve got to dip” used to mean something like “I have to leave this party because there’s somewhere else I need to be”.

2751

That must be it. I’ve never heard that.

2752

I’ve hearddip. It’s popular amongst the youngs.

Got purple first (my 50th!) without trying to, so I decided to shoot for the RR. It does indeed make one think differently, as I found both green and yellow before blue, but I didn’t want to submit blue before I figured out what it was, which I did eventually. Fun one!

It’s now Sunday, and I got a reverse rainbow. Hurrah for me.

2756

No…I did it again. I assumed the last one I found was purple.

Another day without wordplay. No red herrings that I saw. Misjudged green vs. blue but otherwise one of the easier puzzles.

I almost got a natural reverse rainbow. I would have if I’d seen the fourth purple before getting blue. Yes, this is the order i saw them in.
