This one was frustrating words that I though should go together didn't and it was a lot of guesses...

Missed on several counts.

There were actually seven words that might fit the yellow category, and I had never seen anything from the blue category, though I was on the right track there. Should'a got the purples.

Solved, with the last guess ! One of the most time consuming, and ended just random guessing, although the categories made perfect sense after the fact.
