Yeah, I fell for it. Should have guessed it was too easy to be true.
Not a very satisfying solve today, actually.

Monday’s game, and I guessed right on yellow at first, then changed my mind and got dinged.

I went for the reverse rainbow but totally botched the order. I didn’t think yellow had any chance of being yellow.

3207

This was my exact result for the same reasons.

3208

Tuesday, and I accidentally got a Reverse Rainbow because I didn’t figure out Yellow.

Monday’s was easy, by which I mean that I figured out all of the categories before I clicked them.

They are just purposefully messing with the colors at this point.

Again had all 16 sorted but couldn’t guess green vs yellow. Is there an indicator beside relative difficulty?

Not really. Purple is usually word play, but that’s not exclusive. The others are supposed to be in order of difficulty, but that depends on what you know, so it can seem arbitrary.

Am i the only one who didn’t get yellow until clicking on it?

3217

I am embarrassed to say I did not get the yellow until I saw it.

It’s post-eclipse Wednesday. I did okay, but rushed it so made a silly mistake.
