I am either not very smart, didn’t read enough growing up or probably a bit of both but I could’ve had 8-10 misses and not got this one. Not even remotely close and seeing the answers afterwards, they don’t click at all.

33% fail rate.  That blue category was total bullshit - basically 2 categories in one.  I've played nearly 300 times and never seen that.  Purple was BS, too, but that's not unusual.

My 1st guess had 4 things that very well go together easily and it’s a fail….if anyone gets purple before its automatic, they are cheating

Honestly didn't pay much attention to my first guess distribution. Pretty impressive miss.

That's pretty wild.  I'm willing to bet these are generated by AI now, which is why they've gotten much more challenging but now varying degrees of non-sensical.

 4 words fit perfectly (disagreed with you on parts of the eye yesterday - that was maybe 3).

As has become a recent trend, the last 2 categories were horrible matches.


This game is starting to become uninteresting.  For a long time, it was way too easy.  Now it's too random.
