I cannot fathom how someone could get blue before the end. Purple wasn’t exactly a walk in the park either.

Maybe because i got over 6 hours of sleep for the first time in about three weeks, but this one seemed exceptionally easy.

I had the right connection in my head for both green and blue but was only sure about 3 of the 4 on both of them.

That category screwed me up too.

Spoiler: FYI

in that “origins” category, FONT is a pretty rarely used term, except perhaps in literature (e.g. font of wisdom)

Purple was preposterous. I would need to be blasted out of my mind to make that connection.

I would've never figured out purple.

I need to buy a lottery ticket. First an eagle in Wordle, and now I lucked into purple, as I grouped the words by intuition with no real plan.

I litetally couldn't figure out the last two, per usual. I had an idea on purple but couldn't figure out the last one. I finally got blue after a few mistakes.

Stared at this for a long time before getting anything; got blue for the wrong “reason” and then the rest fell into place.

Absolutely nothing jumped out at me at any point today. Green was a sort of educated guess but it was not what was in my mind. Purple was absolute luck. Literally just randomly picking things and hopefully getting "one away" and work from there

I saw the greens early on, but thought it might be a trap. I probably made it harder than it was as a result.
