After Ironman92’s comment, I knew I would be in for trouble. This is the best I’ve ever done when stumped after getting the first two. Lucky guess on blue and purple by default.

Yes, only a 15% fail rate today.  OK, purple was still BS but I enjoyed today's!

That wasn’t so easy for me. Fell for the trap for openers.

Hey, I avoided the trap this time! Unlike two days or so ago, when I picked the four tennis player names, found it was a trap and never recovered. That wasn't fun.

Opened with the Four Base Error and on the ropes. I really struggled, with purple by default.

Today was weird. I got purple immediately, so didn't fall for the red herring. Then it took a while for the others to click.

Purple by default, otherwise my fastest ever.  Doubt I've gotten better the past month - must have a new game designer that isn't a dumbass.

I need to pay more attention to days with tricks (didn't see it today - must be how I avoided it).


While today had only 16% fail rate, same number had 1 mistake as 0 (30%).

Kind of pulled blue out of my ass, and purple mostly by default

Kind of the same as Gut, except it was blue by default for me.

One day there's a very similar answer, and today it's a trick.  That's just dishonest puzzle making

Led off with the 4 base error and down the hill I went. This was one of the most hated ever for me.
