It was Star Trek Characters.

There was no way I was going to pass up Tuesday’s red herring, even if I’d known in advance it was one.

Too many options for blue and I didn’t like yellow.

Yay! Glad i got yellow green order right.

Thought I had it today, but no RR. Saw purple right away and knew it was purple, blue was leftovers, and green was so obvious and literal I thought it must be yellow.

Blue was leftovers. I didn’t like yellow, either. But once i had it down to those 8 words, there were two kinds of word. The blues had to be names, and the yellow were vaguely connected.

Samee for me. There was definite waffling on yellow and green and I got lucky.

I got purple first honestly today (DIATRIBE gave it away), so I actively tried for the RR. Yellow and green could have gone either way IMO.

Thursday, and I did not fail this time. Hurrah. However, Purple is nonsense.

Purple was easy but wordplay so purple. Blue was leftovers. Screwed up yellow vs. green - I forgot my plan to change my green choice just before submitting.

Easy enough, but agreed with @GuanoLad - PURPLE was pants.

One little problem but eventually got them all especially after the huge hint on green.
