I found this one particularly easy. I know it's different for everyone and I've failed on some that others said was simple. I think I finished this in about 45 seconds.

Its kind of intereting to see the various posts each day to see who struggled on ones that i thought were easy and to see how easy it seems for anybody else on the ones i struggle with.

Also the order that people get it in. I feel like I'm prone to getting blue or purple sometimes before I get yellow which is supposed to be easier.

Although the pattern is interesting. It is either a cross in a field with blue sky above…or it’s an airplane missing one stabilizer and about to crash in the ocean. Probably the latter given my performance today.

I didn't know whether to give you a sad emoji for the first part or a laugh for the crash into the ocean. I went with the latter.

I thought the category was:

After yesterday’s disaster I found today to be dead simple. Purple is supposed to be the hardest, but it jumped out at me right away. New streak starts at 1!

This one deserves both the 😔 for P&B and the 😂 for the gif. Instead, you just get a boring “like” emoji

It's kind of freeing just going into it with mindset not trying to get a perfect score. You mash things together that you know are related and if you run out of turns, meh...

Easy there, fella. Next thing we know, you'll be waiving your hands in the air like you just don't care. Pretty soon you're running with scissors and drinking milk straight from the jug. It's a slippery slope, my friend.

Damn! I spent over an hour on this. Got yellow pretty quickly and then stalled out. Never would have gotten the blue category without running out of options. This was by far the toughest one I can remember.

I got green and yellow right away. Then stared at this for 30 minutes. My purple guess was right for the wrong reason and I have no experience at all with the blue. 100% luck today y’all.

Spoiler: My purple guess

I thought it was things that overcome you:
Hot flash
Snooze attack
Panic attack
Belly ache

I never saw “button”.

I am VERY lucky to escape this one.

 

[auntie_fah]

Im sitting on this for a while. I got yellow quickly, but nothings jumping out at me as of yet
