Purple

I’m not American, so the purple group was hard today.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Purple mighta been hard, but hey, you got it! Which is more than I can say.

spoiler

I even spent ages after my first 3 guesses were fails, trying to find the purple one specifically, looking if words started with something/were the start of something.

Yellow

Up until the very end I kept thinking yellow couldn't possibly be so basic. And then purple clicked. This one was tougher than it seemed for sure.

Yellow

I worked out what yellow was pretty early on, because yeah you often get one or two that are that basic. My issue was that School was also a building "around town", and it's way too hard to get the right 4 of 5.

Purple was just an evil little category

[–] OmnislashIsACloudApp 2 points 4 months ago

failed this one, what's funny is that I had correctly guessed two of the categories but there is just enough overlap that I kept getting it wrong.

Another a US-centric one.
