Green and yellow were easy, blue and purple not so much!

This one was difficult for me because I kept buying into one of the red herrings in my mind. It was difficult to let it go!

I suspect @mominva and I were thinking alike on the yellow in the blue

Haha, purple was the only one that was obvious to me. I knew what blue was going for, but I couldn’t figure out what the red herring was until I solved the others.

I almost solved in reverse order. I thought purple was the most easily recognized category, but needed to solve blue first. Yellow was the most challenging for me.

Green was easiest for me; crossovers in the others that had to be eliminated. I had five possibilities each for purple and yellow.

I saw the purple, green and yellow categories (but not all the words) right off the bat, then ‘Aha’ for blue and I was done!
