Almost 1 and done. Purple would have never been figured out. Dumb to try the β€œobvious” one first.  Do I get bonus points for failing so bad on first guess that I got one from each color?

I knew I shouldn't have clicked on the 4 I thought was "obvious".  Sure enough, 1 from each group.

No problem, 4 base error still counts for the same number of runs as a solo HR, so I will take it.

No shit, it came down to me completely stuck and then remembering the gimmick that got used for one row a couple days ago that I didn't catch on to until it was too late. So, I tried to see if that gimmick worked for 4/8 left over words and it did. Better to be lucky than good!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen 6 players post scores before me. 


Green by default and dumb, indeed.
