Never would have guessed the purple, have to remember that rationale, they've used similar before.

Purple is my jam. Believe last time they had it with two extra letters, this time the opposite way. Definitely one to remember.

Nah. Got the yellow right, but didn't have the patience to spend enough time to puzzle out the others, so just clicked rows as is to see the answers. Groups didn't look that hard afterwards, but I sure didn't see it.

First two were easy, but lost patience after 5 minutes and plugged in random to see the solve. One of the purples was not a word I had ever heard used that way. Probably should have seen the yellows.

Couple of speed bumps.

Another scratch for me, got only the first line but once again zigged around in my self allotted time. Now that it appears winter weather is over and our snow is gone, there is too much to do elsewhere in the mornings so my patience for morning computer time runs thin if I don't make progress quickly on the puzzles.

Finally an easy one -- purples only by default though.
