[Obviously Oblivious]

My first attempt today pulled one from each respective group of connections, a rough start no doubt. I managed to run the table after that.

 

[SL Hawk Fan]

Surprised at some of the results today. After looking over the board for a minute or so, I think I had all four categories picked out and even knew which words were supposed to be the traps.

I got the first set quickly then struggled and had to put it down for about 12 hours. Picked it up, saw purple right away which unlocked yellow and . . . done. Funny how the subconscious can process in the background.

Apparently I forgot to post the last two days.

I got Mondays but I don't even remember how many tries it took.

Yesterday was a 4 and done... all traps, no categories complete.

Solid too getting the purples first. Seems like most of us got the blues last.

Spoiler

never heard of a cigarette stub

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Purple first two days in a row might be a new first for me. Also, what the heck was with the blues? At least two of those don’t really fit perfectly with the theme.

Spoiler: That’s a stretch

it’s a cigarette butt not a cigarette stub. And it’s a pencil nub, not stub. Maybe the category should have been nub, stub, butt, nib. That would have at least made sense

Is there a commonality with the color every day?

Is there a commonality with the color every day?

Yellow - easiest
Green - next
Blue - next
Purple - hardest

That one mistake is because I was thinking about a song, rather than a more common saying.
