Same. Purple was leftovers for me. Actually rather clever.
Yeah, I saw part of the purple connection, but not enough to make a proper category.

Fat fingers today.
For Sunday I did a lot of very lucky guessing. Nearly all outside my wheelhouse, but I picked things that seemed plausible and lucked out.

Again only saw purple when it was the only thing left ( and still didn’t see one of them). Otherwise, solved it.

Today’s connections may have been the hardest one for me. I didn’t see anything and kept going down wrong paths. The only one I got right was blue and I picked that as a joke thinking there was no way it could be right.

Got the first two, got stuck. Left to play strands came back saw the candy would never have guessed purple in time.

Confident leftovers for purple. Got the order of the rest correct for the reverse rainbow.
Monday. I fell for the red herring. Also Green category was a bit vague and wide ranging.

On Sunday, I burned through too many "One Away"s trying to find the last green, and couldn’t get the rest.

I got the category for blue but had to guess at the answers. Did not get green.

One off on YELLOW at first (I had SMACKDOWN rather than PUMP) but otherwise OK
Had everything sorted but green was leftovers so I thought it might be blue.

The red herring kept me distracted looking for a fourth for a bit.

Ok, explain the fictional cats category, please. The only one I know is Puss, from “Puss in Boots”.
Figaro is from Pinocchio, Salem Saberhagen is from Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and Tom is from Tom and Jerry
Oh yeah, I should’ve figured out that last one.
Yeah, I only knew two of those four, too.

Green was leftovers today. Second RR in a row.
Upthread someone posted an interview with the Connections creator which mentioned that blue would tend to be trivia going forward.
