Recently I've been trying to find multiple groupings before I hit submit. I'll find what I think is a connection but I won't submit it until I find what I think is another connection. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. Today it did.

I felt it was straightforward today. I saw one or two traps that I was able to avoid.

I took "crank" to mean someone dishonest - like a "crank call". That's my bad.

Spoiler

i was able to pick out funny__ right away but was unsure of “girl”, but nothing else remaining made sense

Since purple is usually something that has a ___ in it, i try to scan the board right away to see if i can make any connections that would be “___something” or “something___”.

I figured out todays purple category right away, was just unsure on 1 of the 4

 

[auntie_fah]

You had the easiest one last. Interestingly.

If i know some or all of the categories, i try to save the easiest for last to make myself look like a genius.

Or i should say solve the purple and work my way down from hardest to easiest
