[PoopandBoogers]

Today's was a sonoafbitch. Not even going to post my scores cause I x'd outta that page so quick after my failure that I'm not sure it even exists.

 

[lonestar50]

Thought I had yellow right away, no doubt.

Stared at this one for a while before even starting. Had blue and yellow figured out in pretty short order but then struggled with the last two.

Spoiler: But then it hit me

My no pic may she rest in peace mom used to read the horoscopes in the newspaper every morning. And for a while, I did too. Once I had it down to eight words I saw the astrology or Zodiac connection.

Having the last one be the first three letters of a word, though, is a dirty trick, in my opinion,

The word in the top left corner for me was TAU - since there weren't any other greek letters on the board, and I saw LIB and GEM I thought I'd figured out what the link was.

Spoiler

i figured those were abbreviations for something at first. Apparently the only category i didnt have any problems with.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I kept fighting green knowing the categories that I didn't look at blue.

I thought purple was something entirely different and still got it right.

Spoiler

Purple: my first thought - CAN (Canada), LIB (Libya), GEM (precious stone), and TAU (Greek letter); then I thought - half-assed words with 3 letters. I went with that. Bingo. Green: what was left. Lots of skill displayed today.

I joined y’all on the struggle bus. Tough couple days!

Alfa was spelled Alpha in the context they were using

which gave me pause to go through with that connection and it took a little while longer.
