    Turns out I can just figure out categories by the way words look rather than their meaning

    Purple

    Tried to find purple first. I get Herb/herb (even if I don’t do it myself), but is there another way to pronounce Job/job? It’s /dʒɒb/ either way, right?

      purple

      I haven’t met anyone with the name in modern times (outside the Arrested Development character), but the biblical Job is pronounced johb (rhymes with lobe)

    I don’t know how

    Spoiler

    Herb is pronounced as a proper noun, if it’s different from herb as a plant.

      It’s usually short for Herbert, pronounced with the initial H. If your instance is anything to go by, a lot of the commonwealth countries say the h in herb, but in the US most dialects drop it and say 'erb.

    Don’t get purple there. I’ve never heard herb nor job pronounced differently like that.

    Might not have gotten purple if it wasn’t the last one, but when it came down to those 4 I figured it out before submitting. I feel like more than half the time I can only get 3/4 categories so I’m glad this one clicked for me
