That one was insane. I'm amazed I got it at all. It was a process of elimination to get blue (I'd spotted the connection, but one of them I'd never heard of) but Purple??! I had no clue whatsoever.

I would not have got purple. One of them is a stretch.

Purple took me a minute to see - one of the words is using the verb rather the noun. It does make sense then.

As per thread title purple was definitely by default. Wouldn’t have gotten it otherwise. The others were straightforward although there was a definite potential red herring.

One of those where you get three and think it's a group, but you cannot see the 4th and it turns out, it wasn't a group at all.

Purple very much by default... One of them still didn't make sense to me after seeing the explanation.
