Sunday. I was proud of myself for figuring out Purple.

Started out so well then got sidetracked by not seeing the fourth blue because I had already classified it with a red herring group. Finally saw it and completed the reverse rainbow.

Got purple first. Misjudged difficulty of yellow. Chose the wrong 4 of 5 possible greens and so submitted incorrect leftovers for blue. Not my best effort.

I tried so hard to find two of the purple answers. Blue I didn’t see but I sort of had the right idea in that I saw what the words had in common but couldn’t fully get it and just guessed. Only got purple after seeing the answer and then looking again.

I figured out the Purple but could not find a fourth. Still not sure how Tea fits.

Got purple, correctly identified blue leftovers, then as usual dropped the ball on green vs. yellow.

Avoided the Alanis Morissette red herring. Purple seemed too easy to be where it was and hardly counts as wordplay.

It is now Wednesday. I really struggled with this one, and had to make some wild guesses. Americanisms out the wazoo.

I don’t regret jumping all over the Alanis Morisette clues, even though it smelled like a red herring. Had to try it!
