I’m 73, a college grad, and I read a lot. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen that word before.

Neither had I, until yesterday.

For Sunday I got Rainbow Order. I had to do some educated guessing.

I didn’t try to go for the order. It took me awhile to see purple although I really should have since

I majored in Chemistry-granted it was 40 years ago.

I nearly didn’t get this.

I kept looking for parts of the phrases that didn’t make sense until rocket skates finally made it click. Only saw green when everything else was gone.

Green was leftovers for the reverse rainbow.

Tuesday. Clean sweep. Obvious red herring.

Another eliminate them as you see them one. I thought blue was going to be purple. Did eventually get purple when the rest were eliminated.

Scary leftovers for purple, but yet again bitten by the yellow/green.

I stupidly went for the red herring even after I got one of the categories and should have recognized that it was the red herring.

Wednesday. I wasn’t ever going to get Purple.
