contranyms, because I was with family and pointing out how cleave fits with both “glue” and “split” and they didn’t know the word contranym
and that helped us notice that there was a whole category full of those.
The ordering of the other three categories after purple is utterly insane.

Yellow and blue straight away. Got lucky with three of green so just guessed. Would never have gotten that.

🟪🟪🟪🟪Guessed yellow and green today, completely missed blue. But even after seeing purple in the final answer I still don’t get it. Time to dig that dictionary I guess
I didn’t recognise purple but I did at least get it. Here are some examples according to my understanding.
Spoiler
You cleave meat into pieces, yet you cleave onto someone you don’t want to let go of.
You garnish food when serving it by adding e.g parsley, but when wages are garnished, money is deducted from them before they are paid out.
A personal relationship that is sanctioned is accepted, however you raise sanctions to stop relationships between countries.
When you have the oversight of a project, then you know everything about it. On the other hand, forgetting something while working on a project is an oversight.
