Blue was sort of ridiculous. I liked my potential red herring better.

Angee stumbles, including the red herring but then I muddled through.

I was surprised to have two with wordplay.

I’m really good at figuring out in hindsight why I screwed up the color order. lol.

This one took me a while. Jumped at the wordplay for purple, but I guess a fill in the blank has precedence.

Pretty straightforward. Picked ‘em off one by one without regard to color, and didn’t see the red herring.

I haven’t been following this thread, but I usually like to do Connections. Has there been any talk, or action, regarding Dopers designing Connections puzzles? I just came up with one, and thought it would be fun to share, and review the puzzles of others. I could start a thread on that, if people are interested.

I don’t know anyone named either Levi or Tate (as a first name), but sure. Anyway, the others were easy.

It’s Saturday. This is annoying, I thought I was cleverly avoiding a red herring, and instead I walked right into one.

I crashed and burned on Friday, and once I saw the reveal, I saw why. Two of the blue answers and one of the purple I just didn’t know at all.

I tried writing them down to get all the categories today but it obviously didn’t work. I was hung up on a red herring

skin, pelt, hide, coat-so even though I saw skin was part of another clue I still wasn’t using hide in purple. Then I was looking for treatment for injuries -sling, plaster, cast. Once I got the first two categories I figured it out but no reverse rainbow.
