    purpleFeels like purple would've been more difficult if there weren't other animal words priming you. Even still I was first checking to see if there was a full category of animals with a replaced letter vs one missing, as in rattle --> cattle and weaver --> beaver

    Saw purple immediately, then yellow. No clue what green is, never saw two of then such meaning. I'm just bad with blue type of categories, it's my cryptonite.

    greenEver seen buffalo buffalo buffalo? Cow also means to bully or intimidate. Ruffle maybe you've heard in the phrase "ruffle some feathers", meaning to upset, and rattle is also when someone is scared or shaken (eg "rattled by his drive through the blizzard")

    🟩Ruffle and rattle connected. Never heard of cow in such a context. Even with wiki (I've heard of the sentence before) link buffalo doesn't make too much sense to me.

    Ok, I read the meaning lower down, ugh… πŸ˜‘

    Got green by sheer luck. Purple was more straightforward than blue, imo.
