Took me a bit to get purple.  Blue seems pretty unlikely for most people - I didn't know any of those four.

The one green I've never heard of, and I should have just moved on.  13% fail rate....guess it's just mostly me

Looked it up - actually fits.  And better than the 3 or 4 I guessed, but all those were certainly within the typical "stretch" the game uses for that 4th word


New best streak of 19 ended

Worst fail ever - almost all rainbows.  No clue.  LOL purple is the only one I should have gotten.   Yellow was suspect and green was some bullshit

LOL, I guess the puzzle maker is back from maternity leave as I'm back to sucking.  Blue was extreme bs in back to back days, and that 1 green is a big stretch.
