Exactly the same.

Boo for today!

I get really impatient on days when I don't see things right away. When that happens, I burn through my guesses. In this case I knew the green category and three of the four answers. Killed myself guessing on the 4th.

I started this about two hours ago. Had to let it percolate in the back of my brain until I could get the blue category. Tough one for me.

I can’t accept your compliment because it was complete luck/coincidence.

Spoiler: Shhh. Don’t tell anybody

I had all the categories figured out EXCEPT for purple but they all had a missing piece or “crossover” word at play. The ones bugging me most were AUTO, DRONE and SCOW.
So, when I guessed purples, I was actually using the “ends in long-O sound (eg. Oh)” theory. Then it came back with “_______-cracy” and I was like “uh, yeah, that too!” 😂

Exactly the same thought process for me on the purple
