Friday’s puzzle: I got it in rainbow order but could not figure out what Purple’s category was. I could’ve stared at it for hours and never got it.

I have vaguely heard of the fourth purple, but a name like that is memorable.

A reasonable mistake today

confer instead of space

But once again could not get purple.

Only saw purple once all 4 were confirmed, but before clicking. Probably because the degree is called an MSc here..

Purple was the first I saw, but then it was real slow pickins for me. Took me about six or seven minutes.

I never got purple either. Ms. Pac-Man did cross my mind at one point, but I couldn’t make anything else fit. Guess I’m not alone.

Shit, you were one clue ahead of me! I was totally stumped by Purple, although I got the other 3 rather quickly.

Saturday’s puzzle. I failed. What a mess I made here. Too many options for one category (of which I question one in the final Blue), and the real answers were not going to be something that came to mind anyway. So in the end I only got Yellow, which was harder than normal in itself.

Only got blue by default. I actually thought of the category

but had never heard of Let Me In as a movie.

This was all straightforward - once I put on my think-like-an-American cap. Y’all do love you some corn.

I did know Let The Right One In was renamed for the remake, so that was easy.

I was on the right track for blue, but hadn’t heard of one of the answers, so saved it for last.

This is another one where I thought purple was in your face with one word sticking out badly (and another one a little less so, but suspicious.) Also one where I can’t judge the relative difficulty of yellow and green. Missed another reverse rainbow.
