I found this pretty easy. I really liked the blue category.

Yellow is supposed to be easy.  I knew 2 of 4.

This was the hardest 1.8 I can remember playing.

When you have trouble I either fail it on 4 or 5 tries or I get it easily….I fear my 10 day streak will come to an end

Fell for the trick.  And I'll bitch about yellow again, because there were like 8 words that could fit.

Man, I fought hard on this one. I got purple, but I’m disappointed it took me so long.

That’s going to be hard for me to put in words, but one thing I do before starting and looking at the clues is hit β€œshuffle”, because I feel like they try to trick you by putting clues next to each other that look like they might match.

I almost always see the immediate trick on the first line but I avoid it.
