Purple was total bullshit.

Still better than blue, which requires being American.

Purple was total bullshit.

::: spoiler spoiler The pronunciation half was crap, but at least you could get it from the tennis half I suppose

Started so well! Knew what yellow was, just not enough knowledge for the members. Blue was always going to be last... 😭

struggled with this one

::: spoiler spoiler Saw the basic purple theme right away but only the letter homonym half, not the tennis part (so kayfabe initially got mixed in). I don't think "deserve" starts with a "dee" sound anyway, more like a "dih" which makes the category kind of iffy ("beset" has the same issue). Green was relatively obvious but had some overlap with blue (with "face"), and then blue was also pretty straightforward but I'd never heard of jobber. So I was trying to make these 3 categories work that I had 3/4 for each. Once green got done I saw the tennis part and put it together

I only knew a couple of blue 100%, but my guesses on the other two worked out.
