I got yellow easily - in fact, I thought the category was more precise than it was. I had no idea with blue and purple, though.
To be precise, now that it's safely in the past, I thought that yellow was "fruit used as vegetables", or ""savoury fruit", not just "crops". which is very broad.

I got fixated by a possible connection for purple and was going to have a rant about how one of the examples didn't fit and then it turned out my connection was completely wrong.

Oh dear. I was too obsessed with one word which I thought must be in the yellow group, but wasn't.

Nearly made the same mistake as yesterday, but decided in time to drop it and try another category. After that it was easy, though I wouldn't have got purple except as the left-over category.

Is it my eyes, or possibly my computer but have these colours changed their hues slightly?

Like Steve, I would never have got purple.

Yes - yellow has changed to orange. I mentioned it a few days ago.

Unusual to get purple first, but I thought it was obvious.

In theory the reverse order of hardest to easiest. As with SreveH the purple seemed very obvious.

I didn't think the colours really represented anything in terms of difficulty.

hmmm.

Well purple was easy today, but then again, that might be an age thing.

Once I noticed the blue connection, I was able to get the greens right, and then it was easy.
