7 perfect games in a row
had to let things sit a bit.
If yellow is supposed to be the easiest category, today’s was full of shit.

Also, does anybody else have PTSD everytime they go to hit Submit?. Everytime i hit submit, i feel like i walk into a trap

When I’m on a streak like yours I definitely pause/worry before submitting. When not on a streak I tend to play much faster.

Back on the winning track. Blue was last but I didn't know the connection at all.

Looked early this morning but wasn't seeing any similarities. After a margarita at lunch, it all made sense

Spoiler: Hey kids guess what I learned

I’ve been spelling raspberry wrong my whole life. I’m not sure I’ve ever written it down before, but in my head there was no “P” in it. Now seeing it this way it looks even stranger to me

Those one took awhile for me. I saw the purple just as I was about to submit the blue so I changed my selections to make me look smart

This is the first time I've seen two words as one of the guesses. I wonder if they're starting to run out of steam/options?

Wow this one was hard. Took me 20 minutes as I have a small perfect streak going and didn’t want to shoot from the hip.

I shouldn't have had the second mistake. I accidently clicked the wrong word and submitted.

When someone loses an eyelash you put it on your finger, wish, and blow it away.

Pretty sure I knew what the purple category was going to be, before I had solved for blue. Could have given a few more word options 😉.

I was actually thinking of a different connection when I submitted for blue and just got lucky (plus I was pretty sure that the remaining four words were going to be in the purple group).
