Struggled with this one.

Had yellow and green but got caught in a red herring for blue. Took a stab at leftovers for purple and was one away so made a switch and ended up worse. Reassed and found the actual blue and never got purple.

ETA: It looks like a lot of us had the same problem with blue and purple.

Rough one. Had the wrong idea for blue and only got lucky.

I, too, had the wrong idea for blue, and was rescued only by a convoluted wrong reasoning: Um, I guess fish and chips can be served in newspaper? I guess they’re going for a weird “things consumables can be served in” category?

Or not. But it worked.

I like the themed ones but this was hard. Never figured out blue or purple and sort of mathed it out with guesses. Also went down a false path of Accents for a second but after Long Island, Chicago and Fargo there was nothing that wouldn’t be problematic as an answer.

Too much hay for the needles. Crash and burn.

Can’t say why, but today’s was a piece of cake for me.

Fat-fingered my purple guess, but a yellow/green mixup would have ruined my reverse rainbow anyway.

Great! Two categories I know nothing about. I figured out yellow, but green only recognized one as being in the general class, never mind the narrow definition.
