Pretty straightforward but

I only looked at the first half of the word for green.

3022

I’m back baby! I feel like the order was more obvious this time.

Green was kind of wordplay-ish so I put it ahead of blue. Rats.

I struggled a bit with Wednesday’s game. Some terminology I don’t use in there.

Only saw three in a potential red herring so did not get taken. Had no idea what blue was until I saw the (unsatisfying) answer.

Huh, i saw blue right away. Except for a mis-click.

Purple was hard. I saw roller Derby and roller coaster right away, as i was looking for the fourth blue, but couldn’t see any other “rollers”. I thought rink was possible, although I’ve never heard it used that way. But what is a roller bag?

3032

A roller bag is luggage with little wheels and typically a telescoping handle so you can tow it around the airport without lifting it.

3033

Thanks!

This was a tough one for me; I kept seeing groups of three without finding a fourth.
I rejected yellow because SWOON doesn’t really fit with the others. So, unusually, yellow was leftovers.

3035

Fyi, i finally remembered what I’ve heard that called, “roller board”. Roller bag makes a lot more sense, but i haven’t heard that exact phrase.

3036

I call that a wheelie case, so it was a new one for me.

Anyway, it’s Thursday, and this one stumped me for a good long while. I’m getting a bit annoyed at how often American sports teams come up, though.

Took a while but once I got purple blue was leftovers. I still have trouble sorting yellow from greens.

”roll aboard”
