Do not fall for the red herring but wouldn’t have gotten the purple in a million years.

This is EXACTLY what I came to post. Once I eliminated the herring, the first 3 categories were easy-peasy. But purple? No way.
I only got purple because it’s similar to a category that I failed at spectacularly a few months ago.

I had to try the red herring. But it gave me the rest. Except purple was leftovers, as usually for this type.
Same exact order for me today.

Scary leftovers for purple and the reverse rainbow.
Saturday. There was a word I didn’t know, but otherwise no problems.

Failed again. I knew green but was trying to make it work with the two that I knew were 50/50. Also never heard of
quipu

If i hadn’t made lanyards with string in summer camp, i might have gotten this one. I was close, and one more guess might have done it. But i wasn’t thinking “TV”, i was thinking about parts of the whole.
As usually, i wasn’t going to get purple. “Think piece”?

Straightforward reverse rainbow. Actually knew what a quipu is from a recently read novel.
At least one purple was stupid and unfair, IMO

Sunday, and another failure. Blue and purple completely lost me. I’ve had a rough week. Also the question-setter drinks too much.

I actually solved it! I thought I had lost my touch. I even figured out purple before checking.

Initial mistake because I was thinking cooking not drinking.
Just too lazy to try RR today.

Third reverse rainbow in a row.
I had the right general idea for blue, but what they were looking for was too hyperspecific and unknown to me. Crash and burn.

I answered blue for mixed drinks, not some particular drink. I saw the food one, but thought the drinks ones made a better set. Was surprised that was blue.
I didn’t get purple, but liked it.
Scary leftovers purple and yellow/green confusion for me.
