Weird how your “mindset” or pathway to solving can dictate the level success or ease with these.

I first noticed the “luxurious” adjectives but had 5 including “swank”. Mind immediately thought of Hillary Swank and then started looking for actress names, finding Foster, Berry and Stone. After that, the rest just fell into place.[\SPOILER]
I will submit your first guess on blue was luck. How did you rule out the “wrong” choices,without having yellow established, which also had wrong choices?*
*Edited to note I was wrong, it was green and yellow with overlap, with a splash of blue mixed in

I was on the right track, but flubbed the execution. A little more care and I might have nailed it.

I think I ended up solving this one in “opposite order” based on the difficulty level associated with each color. Got the hardest one first and finished with the easiest.

I never would have gotten blue in a million years. What a bullshit category. Should have gotten purple though but had a brain fart.

Well this has never happened before. I got the blues because they fit a category I had in mind, Only it was a totally different category than the game said. Honestly I think my categorization was better 🤷♂️

I thought the category was words that are both nouns and verbs. To mug someone, to pen a letter, to tee it up, and to tote a bag. I never in a million years would have said those are all merch.

I was just positive there were two other words that worked with "shot." Tee shot and mug shot had me convinced and I couldn't get my brain past that. I nearly just guessed a couple words that seemed like they could go together with shot to mean something.
The merch category was really dumb.
The merch category was really dumb.
I was able to figure out the blue ones because I've gone to, and had booths in, a lot of industry conferences, and that's all the crap that companies give away - and that some people really go crazy for. I was at one where a company's giveaway was these little logo'd pocket knives, and people were losing their minds over them!
Struggle bus today.
