But it was the Blue category that could have thrown many players off just because not everyone is familiar with William Shakespeare’s work or plays in general, so realizing that, one, the words are all from the iconic line “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears,” but they also have a singular twist to them would have been quite jarring.

Continuing tradition, the Purple group was quite difficult as well since the words seemingly have nothing to do with one another, making it confusing to figure out that they can all be followed by Square and would make a lot more sense.
