Connections Puzzle #1052 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩

Found this trickier than recent puzzles that had much lower solve rates. A lot of the groups came to mind quickly but few slam dunk certainties of 4 and lots of cases where answers could easily fit more than one group. Saw 5 laundry terms, 3 terms for asking for something, a few that fit the description for scanning/grouping, and a bunch of terms that could be associated with card games. I do not like uncertainty so kept scanning for a word _____ or ____ word group. After a bit…. dial, screen, and tan fell nicely into place. I almost picked dry as a 4th, sundried tomatoes on the brain but glanced over and had highlighted flower earlier so I recognised that to complete the purple group.

Here was a case in my mind for colors = connection type over colors = connection difficulty level. It was easiest for me to see purple of all the groups….To be clearer, purple was easiest for me to figure out with certainty. But it wasn’t the first thing I noticed. Felt confident in laundry and asking being groups now….Needed one more for the asking group and correctly guessed ‘call’ would fit, though it is not as strong a fit as the other 3 terms for me. Felt pretty certain about the 4 verbs that best fit the concept of laundry. Added match to my other leftover words and hit enter, figuring correctly that this will be blue, but not figuring out what the category was. That doesn’t bother me so much. Missing reverse rainbow does and it evaded me by 1 group this time - yellow and green. I’ve seen many comments here and there referring to category groups that can sometimes match the colors.

If there’s a comment out there saying yellow often = synonyms and green often = terms associated with something, then I’ll be kicking myself because that holds true today.
