Took a few misses, but got there


I see purple now, but don't think I would have got that.

In my mind it’s my best rally ever on here….I struggled to get 1, then saw purple….then got there. Took a long time. My first 3 not even close

Not in 20 tries. Green had a bullshit omission. No clue on yellow and never ever on purple

Almost the exact same - those two are about as close to identical twins as they could be without being 100% the same, even up to the "purple by default" part, but yeah, I "knew" Green, guessed wrong three times and then had to take a step back and try from a different direction and then got it.

It’s interesting how a puzzle can be tough for some and not for others on any given day.  I found today’s a lot easier than many of the last few weeks.

Green and yellow came easy. Then it was think time. Got purple but blue was by default.

Took me a minute on yellow, maybe because I knew 3 of the words and was semi guessing at the 4th.


Rest was easy from there
