I almost failed on my first word - twice. Then realized I had 5 options for each guess. Had to go back to the drawing board, but it worked!
This one was way harder, feels like I stole one from the Times today.

I failed 😰. This one was very hard for me. Plus I literally fat fingered one of the groups accidentally…that didn’t help matters.
Anyway, hopefully one can learn and improve in this game. I fail all too often!

This one had two issues that I fall prey to:
1. It had five inter-related words (baseball related) and while I knew one had to go, I couldn’t figure out which.
2. It mixed in a group that are connected by sound/spelling not by any real world association. This type is very hard for my brain to grasp. I think I’m way too literal.

i don't think two of the "silent L" words are silent Ls - walk and yolk.
maybe it depends on where you're from...

Near impossible today. I just drank coffee and stared. Words with silent "L" my butt.
just when I thought I was becoming a master.

This one came together a little easier for me. Though, I never would have guessed the last category (purple) if it hadn’t been just the remaining four choices.

Had no idea that there is a play called Company. That was my hangup.

Ok, I need a GIAOT ruling on this.
For the blue I had in mind the grouping that was the answer, but I was not 100% sure if one of the guesses was part of that type of group. So I looked it up to check. The no pic Ms Traveler says that is cheating, but I figured it is like double checking a word’s spelling in a dictionary for scrabble.
There are some interesting stakes on the line with this outcome…so am I a cheating asshole or will I get lucky this AM?

I knew three out of four were musicals and I was pretty confident COMPANY was a musical but double checked it on Wikipedia

Embarrassing fact: season ticket holders for St. Louis Fox Theatre so we see all the Broadway Musicals that come through.
The Bro’s gotta stick together on issues like this when the stakes are so high!

We’d still be without a winner after sundown.
Purple category is "what's left."
Nothing at all embarrassing about that.
Agree - purple was pure leftovers.

WTF is a sea cucumber?
Also, I thought the yellow group was supposed to be the easiest. That was the next hardest for me - I could separate lion from jaguar because I knew lions on different continent but totally guessed on chapybara (figured it was like chukacabra from Mexican lore).

This one was a nice challenge but at least “doable” - discovered the four categories pretty quickly but still had one in the purple group that I was clueless about.
