Was convinced Green was a red herring and wouldn’t try it at first!! Phew indeed!

I didn’t get one of the greens.

I thought green was a red herring although one didn’t fit.
one of the purple doesn’t make sense either.

@WonderfulSmith the green fits if you think Sound Of Music rather than a verb.

@ThePoshUns the purple one you're not sure about is sometimes called "appease".

had to google the purple odd one to make sure. One of the blues is odd and one of the greens as well.

I was expecting the greens to be a red herring. And I don’t quite get one word in each of the blues and purples, hence taking a while to get them sorted.

Failed today.

The only one I was happy with was yellow - I could see lots of groups of three but nothing else that would fit.

Funny how our minds work so differently. No default for me today, and I quite enjoyed the thinking.

Not my best attempt - initially I found a red herring, then I struggled to separate yellow and blue. Had to use hints in the end.
