I did, too, because i forgot what kind of game this is, and didn’t think they would include “free range” with breeds.

Had all four sorted in no time, but no chance at reverse rainbow.

Easiest one in quite a while. Everything just fell right into place. I saw the chickens immediately but assumed a red herring. Never saw the actual red herring.

Thursday had a fun pop culture reference. I figured this one out pretty quickly.

Couldn’t correctly sort the non-purple categories. And didn’t we just have chicken on Monday?

Today’s was easy.

I thought blue was going to be the red herring, but I tried it anyway and was rewarded.

Not hard, but one nitpick: SEER is pronounced sē-ər (Merriam-Webster agrees), not as a homophone of ‘sear’. Two syllables vs. one.

I did like the DISCO STU reference, though.

Hey, Disco Stu doesn’t advertise.

I got Friday’s in rainbow order. But I would never have gotten purple, some terms I have never heard of.

Was never going to get purple.

Scary purple leftovers. Thought green was blue. Oh well.

Off-topic: I’m still pissed off that they did away with the wheelbarrow token in Monopoly
