I love the idea of VEGETABLE UNITS being a thing in the way that LAPTOP SPECS are. Maybe they should have Top Trumps cards for them or something. But anyway, that was probably the hardest of the three groups that I solved today, with my brain taking a while to realize that CLOVE, FLORET, SPEAR and STALK were all examples. Whereas I had no problem spotting RAM, RESOLUTION, SPEED and STORAGE, probably because I’m a nerd who’s spent his whole life sat in front of a laptop.
I don’t know that I would have solved the purple group if not by default, frankly. FEATURES OF JUSTICE PERSONIFIED made sense once I saw it, but it’s a relatively obscure reference unless you work in the legal profession or spend a lot of time looking at court buildings, right?
