Again, made the mistake of picking the "obvious" first. 


Then purple was "easiest" for some reason.


I knew 3 of 4 on blue right away but couldn't figure out 4th and still don't understand how the fourth is that thing.

Green was immediate and purple was pretty quick….then I went blank. I couldn’t feel safe about more than 2 of anything else. I tried all the connections tricks I could remember. I finally went with (brick-block-pine) as in maybe building materials? Got 3, kept them and guessed again…got 3 again. Debated but stayed with it and guessed again and only got 2…..so a lot of situational math in my head took place. That math helped me probably eliminate which one of the 3 was wrong but still nothing for definitely all 4. Honestly, I settled with the 4 blue and finally gave in to submit and it took but it wasn’t even close to the right category…..then yellow by default after blue by math and luck.


I went with brick, block, cake and puck because they were 4 different vowels and vowel sounds with ck sound at end.


Yellow was impossible to me


I don’t know how long this competition will go but no one will spend more time or brain power to get lucky and just scrape by


Tomorrow has to be easier for me

I actually knew purple today.  A lot of times I don't even look at the last category, though I probably should to see what kind of banal contrivances they're using.

You do know that's not a "perfecto".  It's a 95 score out of 100.

I do know that I just made it up because it’s the order of color difficulty. 


I also made up Golden Sombrero and 4 Base Error.
