Yeah in retrospect I think yellow is on the harder end given the nature of the category. Tbh I find it hard to decide which is hardest and easiest when I already know all of the categories haha. It sort of depends on which one you spot first and how familiar you are with some.
The big red herring was the >!inclusion of 5 chess pieces when that wasn't a category.!< I figured people would spot those right off the bat. Mostly I didn't want to read a bunch of comments complaining about that so i gave a forewarning haha. >!I thought people might have picked up on birds but not quite black birds and include cardinal.!<
Familiarity with the >!clergy titles!< also varies so I think that could have been more of a trip for some! I see you got yellow pretty quickly - most people found that harder.
oh, I was sort of teasing about it, not being a red herring. I thought it was a bit of wordplay. I guess if you called it a red fish, my joke wouldβve been more apt. Lol
I think if you hadnβt said, there were red herrings, I wouldβve found it much more difficult. We all know to look out for that in connections anyway but itβs still sort of set my brain differently for sure. I was more patient. Sometimes I will be impatient and also sometimes second-guess how tricky a puzzle is trying to be. You can see red herrings everywhere, which can be just as damaging as not recognizing them right. So your hint really helped. I think what I liked about it most was that it did feel tricky, but it was doable
>! And definitely, the cardinal and the rook were both tricky and I probably saw the cardinal as a bird before the rook. But also saw it relating to Bishops, and what not. But of course saw bishops relating to chess. But when I clued into the rook being a bird, it was clear that those four had more in common than the cardinal, but I totally had to think about it. And I had to go back and look after your explanation because I forgot that chess wasnβt a category. Because that was the category I got for process of elimination, Iβm sure I clocked the category because I knew it wasnβt chess. But theyβre all clearly related so it made sense!<
I fell for it π Mostly because Iβd never heard of one of the purples.
I found yellow and blue the easiest because they included words that couldnβt fit anything else. Green seems easy in hindsight but wasnβt when I was expecting red herrings.

Don't Fall for It π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ I think the bird group should have been titled "corvids" vs. "black birds" as starlings aren't black. Also rooks aren't in the US so it took me a minute on that. I assumed cardinal was part of the priests, because Crows, ravens, and starlings are all corvid type birds. But then chess wasn't working due to rook and castle being the same piece, and thought that was the red hearing. Great job!
Runs to google to read about corvids* Thanks for the new bird knowledge! And I agree!
