I was being sarcastic.

I'm trying to think of a way to confirm we both had the same one without it being a spoiler, but I'm failing.
Only Outrider, I think,  of posters does this outside (outride?) of those who have already answered. So we could just go for it.

Neither have I. And it wasn't the blue category for me which was about synonyms for restrict. ? ?

More mysterious. I refreshed the page and I got a different one

Note, it still says it's 174 and the one with kelly green was also 174.

I didn't have to put any thought into purple (or blue, thanks for the tip!) because it was the last one but I would have got it if I had needed to.

Were the other categories anything like the one you had first?

No. It was a completely different puzzle.

Last time this happened, the puzzle I was given appeared a couple of days later. So let's see...

Found that easy, even though the purple line was more of a hazy guess.
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

I was lucky with the blue: three of them were obviously linked, but I was very unsure of the fourth, because it seemed to be the wrong part of speech, and I couldn't see a link for the remaining four. It turned out to be right, though, the link being more precise than I'd thought.

Nope.

I actually figured out the purple category, but two of the blues also fitted into it whereas two of the purples I had never heard of.

Also hopeless, even though I knew what two of the three remaining categories were.
