I was so pleased with myself for getting the first two, especially green, then I stumbled into purple and got it by luck. Blue: no f-ing clue….and I still don’t get it after seeing the category title.

Blue jumped out at me immediately, even though I did screw up my first guess. But yeah, I can see why some would be lost on that one.

It's my goal every time I play.


And yes, purple was obvious immediately.

It’s supposed to be yellow is the easiest that comes to your mind first.  And so on for green, blue and purple in that order of difficulty. 


justincredible is playing the opposite way of trying to find the most difficult first and work his way down. 


Hope this helps with your anxiety of not being able to master a game.
