From yesterday:

The purple category yesterday was “things with cores” and one of the items was “computer”.

But computers don’t have cores :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Computers have CPUs, and those CPUs have cores.

This is like saying my garage has an engine. It does not! It has a car, and that car has an engine.

Sorry, the computer engineer in me just had to nitpick :wink:

I love the way these puzzles encourage lateral thinking!

It’s OK. The natural resource manager in me nitpicked about wolves being in the nocturnal category, lol.

But I actually think the game designer does a good job the majority of the time with lots of great red herrings.

I had no clue after yellow.

So I randomly chose.

No luck. No skills. :fire:

Purple was the only group that was obvious to me initially.

I thought purple was a bit of a stretch.

This is the first time, I’ve felt a puzzle category was wrong, rather than a matter of fitting multiple categories. I recognized blue first, correctly identified the category, and chose the 4 words that belonged to that category. However, this was marked as one away. The 5th item that is included in the answer is very similar, but it is not technically a member of the category, as listed in any relevant documentation.
