That seems to often be the case for purples, and can be a strong hint that they are purple.

Late getting to Friday’s, usual yellow/green mixup:

Sunday, and I eventually random guessed Blue and Purple, they were very distantly far outside my sphere of influence.

Still Saturday. I had no idea which was purple, because they were all just too easy. No idea what the red herring was supposed to be.

When in doubt, any sort of wordplay will be purple.

Hey, i got them in order!

I saw a few poker words and a few candy words. I googled poker terms to solve this one.

Ugly one. Three categories I know nothing about. Still have no idea what three of the four purple are.

Mistakenly used the last clue I solved for purple, but it didn’t cost me my RR since I also messed up yellow vs. green.

I managed to avoid the red herring, mostly because i didn’t see one of them before guessing yellow.

I also guessed “followed by a day of the week”. I was guessing cyber Monday, blue Tuesday, meatless Friday, and manic ???. Other than Cyber Monday, I’ve never heard of any of those.

Two of them are very popular 80s songs, so I am surprised you don’t know them.
