Now that I know what purple is, I still don't know what purple is.

I knew the blue category immediately but rushed in. Had to retreat and regroup after 2 misses…

Same - like you, I decided to completely back out and try a different category.

I won with a clean board! If I win another one that's what we call a winning streak! I had to go for the purple since the yellow was giving me 5 options in my mind

I knew the blue category, but hadn't heard of one of them, so had to leave that one.

One of the fastest times I’ve gone through it.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

8 days without a single mistake - then this happened. It was nice to get a visit from the smart side of me for a week or so. He’ll be back in a few years most likely.

Kudos to you all. There are two categories I would have never got. I kept thinking there would be a "things that melt"

Being born in the 50’s helped with the green category. Yellow jumped right out at me. Once you have two categories the next two are a lot easier.

The green category jumped out to me right away. Born in mid 70s though.

Better than my first guess: “things that are gold”. LP, bond, platter, bouillon (as God is my witness I thought gold bullion was spelled the same as the soup base 😂)“.

Everything was sideways for me from the start on this one.

Well I didn't know what LP was at all so you had me beat. That type of gold didn't cross my mind.

Wait. It's not?

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Not perfect, but better than yesterday’s shit show. Honestly if I had been 30 seconds more patient I think I solve this error free.
