I almost fell for the herring but stopped myself in time, after noticing the TYPES OF CHAIRS category. Still, I only knew three of those, so I had to work my way through all the other categories. And I did in fact get purple. A good brain workout today, and I’m happy with myself for managing a clean solve.

Did better for Wednesday.

Purple was both too easy and too difficult. Overall, this one was so easy I almost overthought it.

No clue about order today.

Thursday. I should’ve figured out Purple sooner.

Yeah, I couldn’t see what the actual category descriptor was for Wednesday’s purple, but they all pretty clearly went together. Very easy overall.

For PURPLE, it took me a while to see Hanks, the others are all more what I’d call action-y Toms

As usual botched yellow/green.

It’s Friday, it’s my birthday, I have the day off work, and I did okay on the puzzle. However I have never used any of the Yellow words in my life.

one GREEN missfire but otherwise all good.

Red Herringed but actually guessed the Purple even though it was the remaining one.
