Uniqueness 1 in 601Wow. Took a long time on this one.

For a while I thought there was something Zodiac related. Scales and twins were the main ones, and I added virgin in at one point, as well as shell (thinking the crab's shell for Cancer).
I thought for a while about "things with bite". An axe, obviously. The phrase "its bark is worse than its bite". I Googled to see if people would consider olives to have "bite" in the metaphorical taste sense (and yes...they apparently do). I was so confident in yellow that I didn't even look at the actual literal word "bite" to notice that this would have made my idea obviously wrong.
Finally, I spent a while trying to find "things with shafts". The shaft of an axe. The shaft on a typewriter. Google's stupid fucking AI told me hedge mazes' walls can be called a "shaft" (but on deeper inspection, I could find no human who had ever used the word in that way).

blue felt a little silly this time, to the point where I was sure it couldn't be a thing but I thought I'd guess at it anyway!<

Kinda mad at blue. Shouldn't have been that direct. Also, green. One of those is not a "covering" but a noise.
green
Tree bark?

I really thought blue would be yellow. Extra virgin olive oil just pops right out.

Yeah I was definitely surprised that blue was blue. Yellow or green would have made sense, but it jumped out immediately. The only thing I can think of is that it seemed too obvious and like it may have been a red herring.
I thought it might be a red herring but after assembling 4 otuer categories in the companion I knew it just had to be it.

Blue was my leftovers this time because it was just too on the nose - like everyone else is saying. Purple took me a minute and then jumped right out.
FINALLY I CAN ENJOY THE GAME
