I love solving these puzzles with a completely wrong category in mind.

Went for the herring first, then blue took awhile because I hadn't heard of one of them.

Took a guess at purple in the end and it paid off. Never heard of one of those for the use of it though.

I had to guess based on cognates in other languages.

Tough one today. After the first two categories, I saw PUSS and TOM, and I had to go searching the web for more cats. Never would've gotten green, because buckets have bails, and (some) drawers have pulls, not handles.

Everyone here with green last, and yeah, what the hell was that?
::: spoiler spoiler Also, I was not sure about 'bussin' for purple, but I knew 'beso' was a word for kiss and had to go with it. :::

::: spoiler spoiler This is one of those days where I wonder if I'm crazy or if everyone else is. I figured the blue might be fictional characters, but I have no idea which specific cat character "Figaro" is. After that I had nothing.

  • "Examine" "grill" and "question" seemed related but I have never ever heard "pump" used as slang for interrogation.
  • Most of the umbrellas I encounter do not have handles, because they’re the kind that sticks upright into a table.
  • I picked up on "kisser" and "peckish" ... but "bussin"? I still don't know which "kiss" synonym that's supposed to start with. Bu, bus, buss, bussi? Is one of these a real word or am I having a stroke? :::
