Four perfect boards in a row. Thought i was going to mess todays up, as it took me a while to see the first connection as well as the green.

I call bullshit on anyone who gets purple before their last guess. I doubt I would figure that out if I stared at it for an entire day. Still the rest was manageable.

This one had a trap that I just waltzed right into with my first guess. I was so sure it would play I didn’t think about alternate categories.

Spoiler: Sneaky

FINGERS: index, ring, pinky, Liitle (Game of Thrones reference)

Got lucky on that one. Also, WTF on the pink? One is a term that describes the “eerie sensation” one feels when they encounter a robot with human-like characteristics? I never knew such a term existed.

I still dont understand the blue category.

Spoiler

I knew the purple category, and was stuck choosing between iodine and uncanny for the last choice. I figured uncanny didnt go with any of the remaining options for blue so i went with that

Still dont understand what the category for blue means and how they all fit under that category

Funny enough I actually knew that one. I’ve watched too many AI videos on YouTube I guess. The blues on the other hand were a mystery to me. So much so I thought the purples would be blue and the blues purple.
