Additionally, unless one is extremely invested in NASA and all of its shenanigans, figuring out that seemingly random words like Pioneer and Viking belong in the same group would not have been easy, which becomes even more difficult when Galileo and Marco Polo, despite both being names of historical figures, are put in different categories.

While Bingo, Tag, and Uno are quite close in nature even if one does not know the title of the Purple group, it is Marco Polo that could have been confusing, as the game is usually not the first thing that comes to mind when that name is thought of.
