Who thought they would use this as the red herring?

My second guess is “parts of the ear” - anvil, stirrup, hammer, drum. 😫

Oh that's clever! I didn't even notice that red herring!

But I've taken to using copilot but default most days, which really helps reduce the chance of getting caught by red herrings.

Came here to comment the same thing. Also the purple category was wild today.
