Sunday’s puzzle. I failed this one. Yellow and Green only. I tried so many different combos that seemed sort of logical, and none came together. I think Purple was too American for me.

I didn’t have a problem, although I see your point about Purple, @GuanoLad.

Almost too many possibilities today. Had to try to carefully narrow them down.

Monday. Worked out all the groups so I tried for a reverse rainbow and failed badly, as I expected I would. Just no intuition for which groups would be considered more difficult.

Strange to describe purple that way instead of the more straightforward description of that group.

After a bit of a false start (ASSEMBLY, SPEECH, WELCOME, ADDRESS—I was thinking of things at a convention or something), I struggled a little before it started to come together. The pieces fell into place slowly, but fall they did.

Fell for the red herring but from there it was fairly straightforward.

Not overly challenging. I saw a few three-option possibles, but didn’t even notice the red herring. Which was billiards, I guess.

Had an easier time on this one than yesterday’s.

Abject failure today.

Green and yellow seem too close.

It’s time for Tuesday’s puzzle. I got them all right, but did not guess Blue’s category, I rushed through it and leapt to an erroneous conclusion.
