I kinda knew the yellow category and knew what the purple was, but was only able to group 3 in each.
I guess i have never heard of one of the yellows

Held off on the green because it just didn't feel right. Too many options fit. Good thing I did.

I made a mess of this one. Should have gone for purples first. If I was more patient I would have seen that and avoided multiple traps. Also, WTF yellows? I was just in South America last month and wouldn’t have guessed that.

The yellows were ridiculous.

Also too many choices on the greens.

Not knowing "prior" was a religious title screwed me. I figured the category, but never saw that as an option.

I'm not going to lie. I play every day but have been posting less and less often. I used to do really well with this game but probably fail 35% of the time since this year started. I'll start posting all my failures so you will all feel better.

This, surprisingly, wasn't one.

Then I do this today and finally get one. Total guess on blue and purple. I had 3 blues and took a stab.

Back on the winning track. I'm always nervous about seemingly straightforward categories. There must be some trap, right?
