My first reverse rainbow! Purple just jumped right out at me, and I was surprised it was purple. Then, when the next one I saw was blue, I decided to go for it. I saw both of the last two categories fairly easily, too, but dithered a bit about which was which.

There was one, though I couldn’t find the fourth. Tops (clothing).

It’s Monday for me, and my break is done so it’s back to work. This one was very easy.

My brain wasn’t firing on all cylinders today in Connections or Wordle (but I survived both).
I fell for the red herring, then tried to put PACK with Equestrian Gear.

HALTER, CROP, TANK, CREW.

Guessed wrong on yellow vs. green, but otherwise quite easy.

It’s Tuesday where I am. This was pretty easy. I avoided what I thought was a red herring, but was not.

I’ve never heard of “Mr Monopoly”, but felt the words could go together.

Grr. Should have known better about blue and green.

Straightforward but couldn’t get the reverse rainbow.

Very interesting how many of us got them in the same order.

Pretty easy, and a reverse rainbow. OTOE immediately jumped out at me as a wordplay clue.

I was just about to submit the green answer second, then switched at the last second, thus avoiding the collective fate.

Two days in a row with a clue that immediately gave away purple. Today was OTOE; yesterday, whatever that ridiculous word ending in DIME was.

I also messed up the RR. I should have known a synonym category was probably not blue.

Wednesday has arrived. And I got hit by the red herring. I hesitated, but went for it, and completely got taken in.

The Tuesday red herring caught me, but after that it was smooth sailing. Purple wasn’t too hard; maybe I should start trying for RRs?

What was it? I thought BLUE might be one but risked it and it wasn’t.

ETA - are they all John Grisham novels?
