It took me a while to realize “gram” could be a nickname for Grandma.

I saw two red herrings today. I solved it, but I wouldn’t call it any easier than usual.

No clear purple today.

This one was probably easier for non-Americans who are not as familiar with nicknames of American universities.

3285

I agree with @Marvin_the_Martian , that was distracting to me.

3286

It sure was. Went right over my head.

Anyways, it’s Wednesday now, and I accidentally Reverse Rainbowed.

I got it, and I still thought that was what it was.

3288

Had no idea which ones were supposed to be easy or difficult. None at all.

Easy peasy. Only saw that red herring after I already got PURPLE.

All the non-purple seemed equally easy. The red herring I saw (double letters) would have been extremely lame.

Thursday, and I got red herringed. They got me good.

The actual Wednesday red herring was Trees.

But once I got that out of the way, Purple was obvious, and the others followed soon after.

3296

I forgot about that one, although all the yews I have owned have been shrubs.

I was pretty sure of purple but didn’t know one so I skipped google and left it for last. Otherwise very straightforward.

I had a really hard time figuring out the fourth thing with Sand. I must be missing something obvious but I still don’t get why Bunker fits that category.
