Didn’t really get the last three.

For green I only knew three and guessed on the last one that sounded most like a basketball player and for blue I went for words that were reversed in the puzzle. Didn’t get purple at all.
Did avoid the Hollywood actors red herring, though.

3822

I didn’t see a red herring for actors, but there were 5 basketball players. I didn’t notice it until I’d already eliminated WADE in the “ways to cross water” group.

GREEN was pants…stupid American sports connections are by far my most hated - would only be marginally worse if it was one of those where it was local to some city

3824

Saw the purple pretty quickly but had to make guesses on the fourth one. Had no idea what Blue was.

Rats. Two wordplay categories, I jumped at the first one I saw first.

3826

Stumbled through this one with some vague idea of what a couple of the categories were.

I didn’t get purple. I’ve always pronounced the “L” in “palm.”

3828

Would never have gotten purple in a million years except as leftovers.

Friday’s purple was wrong. At least, in my dialect.

One of the words is possibly misspelled. At least, it is as of now - they may correct it. But Googling didn’t show me their variant of the word…

Almost got the reverse rainbow.

Never heard of a coupe in that context. I’m beginning to think the puzzle creator may need an intervention.

3833

It definitely is.
