Getting the purple first made the rest pretty straightforward. New streak started with two perfect scores in a row!

Well…right out of the gate I was sure a Tamarind was some kind of monkey, so guess how my day has started?

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Definitely not a day to rush through. The blues were the last category I saw, but once I saw them the whole thing came together quickly.

This one was very tricky for me. I call bullshit on anyone that gets purple before the last row - that was a downright evil category.

Purple category was BS. I would try a category, get 3 and couldn't figure out the 4th. Back off try another category, same thing. Took longer than I think it should have.
