Striped Socks

Life should be full of colour; buying vibrant striped socks is part of a healthy existence. Alas, come laundry day, that decision seems a bit less wise.

For each block, you must find the matching sock and substitute the letter. Once you've replaced all the letters you'll get a word. Reveal Hint
