I was surprised the blues were blues. Seemed like an easy green or yellow to me.

I almost put in purples correctly as my very first guess then talked myself out of it -___-

Same. Snake was a guess, but it seemed the most likely of the 5. Didn't know if it was related to Jake the Snake, even though the others were just "The"

I always knew of him as Bret "The Hitman" Hart so that eased me into accepting Jake the Snake. Already had that filled in before I even noticed Rock/Paper/Scissors being a thing. I figured without Lizard there nobody would actually try to put those together.

Yeah I wasted like 15 minutes a few days back by not guessing an obvious trap that was actually legitimate.

this took me a LONG time. I know next to knowing about wrestling. Rock and Undertaker were enough to make me guess after I spent ages looking for other possibilities

Also blue was the first category I had figured out but didn't know everything that belonged.

Pretty easy aside from having a brain aneurysm on yellows and assuming purple was a trap. I can see yellow being hard if you don't know women's clothing though.

Yeesh. I had to come back to this one like four times throughout the day.

I knew boyfriend jeans because I used to be a department supervisor at Kohl's and sometimes I had to cover the juniors (teens/20s women) department.
