I struggled with this one, and should have tried harder for purple. I might have gotten purple today, and i got blue by chance, trying for other connections.

But today’s felt fair.

I don’t know what exactly I was thinking.

I was looking for poker terms and things you collect.

Didn’t get blue.

Made it but it was a close one. I was down several wrong tracks. I also felt really dumb not seeing the Purple.

Green jumped out at me so quickly I assumed it was yellow. Grrrr…

Wednesday, I did better today, in Rainbow order. I sidestepped a red herring, but didn’t figure out Purple.

Despite some troubles, i got all four connections. I actually saw purple first, but only saw 3 of them, and decided to try something else. But after that, i held the three purples i was comfortable with aside when looking at the other words.

I didn’t get the gist of purple.

Easy peasy. Didn’t have time to try to get a RR

I saw purple right away, but I wasn’t sure about JOKE; I’ve always heard the term “running joke.” But it seemed the closest fit so I went for it.

Things went quickly after that, though I misjudged green and blue, missing the RR.

That tripped me up also but I took the same guess you did.

Thursday. I got Green first, but then thought it was a red herring, and so chose a better option, that turned out to be the actual red herring. Also I never figured out Blue.

Did not get blue. That is always the toughest time of category for me.

Did not figure out Blue at all.
