Did it backwards from some of you, but it worked out all the same.

‘Twas not an easy one. Had no idea what green was.

[pondgardener]

I knew three of the green ones...had to guess at the last one.

For me the struggle at times has been making connections between groups of words that I might argue they are connected in some way but not in the way the game intended. The other struggle is just not having any idea how the words are connected simply because I don’t have enough knowledge about a specific subject matter. Green was that way today. After the fact, I knew two of the four, but never heard of the other two.

The worst are categories like the other day with parts of a foot, I think there were five or six words that qualified as parts of a foot. I guess that’s the fun of it trying to sort out where the words really belong.

I might feel like I’m in a groove for a few days, but the last two have been more tricky. Yesterday was so tricky I didn’t make it.

It kind of bothers me when I struggle with this game, but some of y’all make me feel better because I see the struggles you have! Keep up the good work!

The ones that don’t ever struggle, well, if I can’t say something nice I won’t say anything.

This!
It seems I either get a perfect score or bomb out entirely because I have no basis for connecting a word meaning with that particular group.
It's not a matter of memory and deduction. Elimination only goes so far if you have items in several categories that you've never heard used in that way. It's still fun, though.

Almost had it! On the right track with the blue, not quite though. I would not have gotten the green unless it was the leftovers
