Never heard of blue and would never have gotten it.

I don’t count it, it’s only 3 words.

No clue for color order after purple.

So blue was funny because i learned ‘My very educated mother just served us nine pizzas’ as a kid, but pizzas isnt a planet anymore. So i looked it up and i guess its commonly ‘served us noodles’ now.

Again with the yellow/green mixup. Sigh.

Hurrah, it’s Friday!

I got the last 8 by dumb luck.

I didn’t know the bands, and i have never heard that mnemonic, but some of the words looked like they could be split up leaving a word. :woman_shrugging:

I don’t usually care about the order I solve the puzzle in, but I happened to get purple first tonight so I decided to try for the reverse rainbow. Apparently it’s my tenth.

I even saw the blue, at the very end. But missed that grass has blades. :roll_eyes:

I have never heard anyone call a cabin a “cab”, and have no idea what “Callaway” means.

Trucks have cabs, I guess they’re short for cabin. And Cab Calloway was a cabaret singer back in the day. He’s in The Blues Brothers movie.

Fell for a possible red herring but did OK after.

Don’t usually associate octopi with intelligence. Red herring: common laundry stains.

No issues.

Wasn’t confident of the order at all but managed the reverse.

Got hit by a red herring of Classic Stains on clothes

Saw two of the Purple almost immediately but slipped up once getting the other two.

I fell for the red herring also, but then I settled in after some early jitters.

Not sure if I’ve ever had this color sequence before. Green was scary leftovers for once (”cab” for CABIN was pretty lame) so I guessed it first.
