Didn’t see green at all.

Agreed, and I think today was arguably the most challenging puzzle to date (partly because I felt two of the green items were highly questionable fits for the stated category).

Green and blue were my last 2 categories. I wasn’t familiar with the blue category, so no chance of getting it besides by default. For green, I had an internal definition that was similar, but not identical to the listed definition, which did apply to the 4 items However, it was not an obvious guess… in my opinion more challenging than typical for yellow and green, and near impossible for blue if you aren’t familiar with the category. This relates to why I solved purple first.

My criteria for blue was more generic than the listed connection, and less specific for green. I agree two of the four were not all that applicable but my presumed connection was strong enough to work.

A breath of fresh air compared to yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday, I broke all my rules of my strategy. I think bc it just looked so confounding at first. And still after 10 minutes, lol. I submitted a first guess impulsively (I noted several others did the same), then overcompensated and refused to submit the correct answers for green bc I was unsure of one and less unsure of another. That being said, I still would have bombed. I had considered the correct idea for I think blue and purple, but I just couldn’t match all the correct words to the topics. I had no clue re the yellow category. Just didn’t click.

Gave me vibes of when I first stated playing the game.

Green by default. I wasn’t aware that one of the items is part of the category.

mistake because like others, I didn’t see that one green as fitting the category, though, I guess, sure.

Struggled with purple and green. Came back later and purple finally clicked. Green by default.

Skipped yesterday — was stalled after blue and got busy.
