I avoided yellow because it just seemed too obvious. Still, I had no idea about purple.

Wednesday’s was one with a lot to potentially trip up on.

Made a bit of a mess here. Was way off track on green

Was looking for a fourth gangster then was looking for ways to damage something (mar, etch, scar etc).

I don’t really try for Reverse Rainbows, but I do enjoy getting Purple First. It was legitimately the first one I found today.

The rest took me a while to piece together. A good challenge.

Though I did think DONNIE BRASCO was that movie about the guy in the rabbit suit. :man_facepalming:t3: That’s one of the reasons I left blue for last.

For Thursday I had to guess at Blue and had no chance with Purple. Got the rainbow, though.

On Wednesday, I kept on trying to put Octopussy with the movies. Eventually recovered, though.

Pretty much a disaster despite not looking it. First, I would never in a million years have gotten blue. Second, I had to guess on purple.

I knew KEN, SUD, and ACRO had to be part of words. After a fruitless search for African countries I deduced that either CROSS or SHINS were the only options that would make sense.

Not too shabby, blue was trivial

I only got the purple because they felt like they went together and I made a lucky guess. I was only familiar with two of the blue which helped narrow things.

Couldn’t see a clear order after purple.

Guess I’m one of the few who had trouble with Friday’s puzzle. I kept trying to put INDEX, STOCK, and REAL ESTATE together as investments, and then nothing else made sense. Anyway, what is PRIME REAL ESTATE?. I’m not sure I’ve heard the term before.
