Tap for spoiler

My first guess- pool, basin, cape, aquarium “all things that hold water” is just as reasonable as what purple turned out to be.

A cape is land, not water. Land that juts out into water, but land all the same. Unless there's another meaning I'm not familiar with?

But yeah, that's why I always try to solve the whole puzzle before I enter the results. Red herrings definitely do get used, and occasionally even a red herring with 4 words in it. But there's only ever one way to make 4 groups of 4.

Haha. Purple really got me, but it was satisfying in the end.

As frequently happens, only got the purple through process of elimination

Ngl not the biggest fan of today's one.

Confusion

Kitty and bluff completely threw me off course and I am still not really sure what they represent.

Bluff is etymology 2 here, completely unrelated to the term bluff you might already be familiar with. It means a cliff, basically.

Kitty, likewise, comes from etymology 2 in wiktionary. It's a term that can be used for a pot of money, especially in a gambling game, but personally I'm more familiar with it as the closely-related term in card games like Eucre and 500, where the kitty is a set of cards that are played face down, not in someone's hand, at the start of the game.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah so not the fairest. Common words with lesser known meanings suck. Especially when there is 2 of them. My lack of obscure knowledge strikes again.
