I’m now on a failure streak and wouldn’t have gotten today’s with 8 misses….but I have a good contest ready if this one ever ends

At least I wasn’t down to my last guess on this one.

Had to step away and come back.  Maybe I'm finally starting to get the hang of purple

Someone else made my same mistake.  Never seen one of their tricks that was THAT solid.  If you're going that route, then do a better job of categories that actually fit together.

I know exactly what you tried and it was so tempting.

I thought for sure you'd miss on that one.  Hard not to guess it without going through subsequent to understand it doesn't work.

Honestly didn't notice the red herring until now. I think it's because blue immediately jumped out to me.
