Thursday. Didn’t figure out Purple, especially as it has a stupid “American pronunciation” thing.

Avoided the rainbow herring but didn’t get the actual purple.

This was bizarrely easy, even though i didn’t get purple.

I knew Purple but one threw me off. Was Hockey supposed to be Hawk? Because I don’t hear it. And I know plenty of people who say Cawfee for coffee but no one says Hawkkey.

Yeah, i agree with you on that. And that’s one of the reasons i would never have gotten purple.

Leftovers for purple plus a correct yellow/green guess equals reverse rainbow.

Thought green was clever. Also thought green was blue. Sigh.

I found blue easier than green, too.

Here is Saturday’s puzzle. I would have gotten this without error if I knew more about American Monopoly boards.

I got the horses’ gaits but had 2 “walks” left. I was thinking of striped things but wasn’t sure if the fourth (are credit cards commonly striped?) Anyway, took a guess for the fourth on purple and giving myself credit for technically getting all of the categories.

Yeah, I dislike those sort of puzzles where one of the categories can only be solved as leftovers. There’s a magnetic strip on the back of credit cards that’s read when you slide it through a card reader; I’ve heard that referred to as the stripe.

Even if you knew purple today, it was still leftovers. That seemed inelegant to me.
