Good thing the other 3 categories were relatively easy, because Purple was hard. And stupid.

I only got purple because I said “No way these words fit with anything else; they must be some sort of wordplay or another”, but I had no idea what it was.

And I got distracted by the rappers.

Purple was scary leftovers. Yet again I thought blue was blindingly obvious and had to be yellow. My brain is obviously not on the same wavelength as the puzzle creator.

Friday! It’s a day off work. I avoided the red herring, and did pretty well. I didn’t get Blue at all, I think the puzzle-setter has been on an alcohol binge this week.

Made quick work of this one, and actually figured out purple before submitting.

Rough one but made it through

Blue was leftovers but i was pretty sure I already knew purple. Should have gone for leftovers next.

No issues. Sure they’ve done BLUE fairly recently…

Pretty straightforward.

I failed Friday, and I can see why. Two different red herrings (Toms and Caribbean), and I knew zero of the four blues.

Glad to see that I wasn’t the only person who fell for this one. But after this failure, I managed to persevere, even though I had no clue that there was such a thing as a zombie glass.

I didn’t even see the red herring today. There was a good one in yesterday’s catfishing, though.

Avoided the red herring. As usual messed up yellow vs. green. I was hoping for a category of one word protest song titles when I saw HURRICANE and ZOMBIE but alas no.

I walked straight into the red herring. Not much trouble after that.

It’s Saturday, and this one was easy.

Blue was leftovers. Never heard of zombie glasses or hurricane glasses, although hurricane lanterns have an important piece of glass.

Tried for the reverse rainbow with clues I thought were leftovers. Then went for the yellow which I thought was a red herring. Followed a true red herring

Things a superhero wears.

Then I already knew blue and most of purple so I was able to figure out green which let me solve the rest.
