This may be the worst connection result I’ve ever posted. I had a general idea of the categories, but either didn’t see the 4th or had 4+ items in category and guessed the wrong ones. I found yellow to be the least obvious category.

Also, does anyone else think if you are allowed three mistakes, then it should only show three mistakes possible at the bottom, not four? It doesn’t seem intuitive to show a mistake remaining, if it means that that one will cause a loss. It would make way more sense, to me, anyway, to show that you now have no mistakes remaining. (I mean, I know there are only three, but psychologically it’s annoying to see that one still shown.)

I knew the green category from early on, but didn’t see one of the words. After a few hours away, the purple jumped out at me.
