With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 1, 3, and 5.

ERECT was a bad guess, as METER showed the answer had only one E.

I spent about five minutes solving this one.

If you see a word (in this case, "DOH") and it doesn't really fit anywhere (okay, maybe you could have used it in the greens), try putting a word before or after it - in a lot of cases, it's part of the purple group
