When I read your post I thought, what overlaps? Then I went back and saw them. They never even occurred to me when I was playing!

All four rows are pretty damn random and I am glad I decided to just guess after 5 minutes. I would like to have a word with the puzzle master.

Fully expected todays to be an asskicker after the last couple days.
I figured that there was a category similar to green
The blue category was one of two things, but like tenacious, it looked like i went after the wrong ones

Spent a decent amount of time “surveying” the board but once I got the first one, things came together pretty quick. I think I had identified all categories (except purple) before making any guesses; then I had the epiphany on purple, solved it first, and the rest came together bing, bang, boom.

Somewhat similar for me. I could not figure anything out for several minutes until the purple popped into mind. Then I strangely solved the rest in what I think is normally inverse order of difficulty. The yellow and green had me stumped, but blue was easy.
