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. 

Zero anxiety….im not the worst at it anymore. Purple seemed obviously not difficult and 2nd hardest today
