I solved it, but with two errors. My main problem is that I never heard of kitten heels. In fact, my knowledge of women’s shoes is altogether limited.

It’s Friday. Purple was never going to happen. Also Woolens looked like it was misspelled which bothered me. Woollens looks more right to me. Spellcheck agrees.

Still Thursday. I vehemently disagree with one of the blues but it had to be. Science is in my side.

I never heard of that, either, nor the something-bag, don’t remember exactly what it was.

Very easy today. Would have had the reverse rainbow except

I saw iris and was initially looking for flowers rather than eye parts.

Obviously failed this one.

Spent too many guesses looking for the fourth shirt ( never heard of a ringer) then got hung up on islands.

Green was easy enough due to my superior fashion sense :stuck_out_tongue: . Rest was easy after. Although I think BLUE was dumb.

5035

I fell for a red herring, and then had to look up two of the words because I’d never heard of them (under any meaning). Also saw another category that wasn’t there, but there were only two words in it.

I spent a minute looking for a fourth island, until the state names hit me.

Then after getting yellow out of the way, I didn’t see a fourth shirt (never heard of RINGER). Coincidentally, I’m attending a Carolina Hurricanes game tonight, so “CANE” in that context was already in my head and allowed me to suss out purple, leaving the last green as a leftover.

Fun mental workout today.

A far easier one for Sunday. An obvious red herring to avoid too.

Made a reasonable error. Otherwise straightforward and avoided the rainbow herring.

I think either cut or trim could be used in both yellow and green. I chose wrong.

This might be the worst I’ve ever done. Too many Haircut options and then Trim failed me twice.
