Biding time in pre-op waiting for surgery with an early Connections. Pretty straightforward one today.

A little embarrassed I didn’t see blue until it was the only one left.

Went for reverse rainbow. Mixed up yellow and green.

Belated best wishes! What are you in for if you’re comfortable sharing?

2164

Prostate removal. Just woke up. I’m alive at least.

Huzzah!

It’s Wednesday where I am. Rainbow order, but I didn’t figure out Purple because Rainmaker is not something I have heard of. Also not sure who Baker is.

I got Tuesday’s Blue pretty easily because Doc pretty much had to either be a dwarf or a document, and only the second one fit with anything else.

I got halfway through and got stuck until I figured out purple. Blue isn’t really in my wheelhouse but I sort of saw it when it was the only one left.

For some reason I was fixated on things from Into the Woods and my first guess I had 3/4 with knight, forest, bow and coat. When I switched out coat for baker I lost the one away so I left to do some other puzzles. Note: I have never actually seen Into the Woods. I do know that there is a baker and presumably a forest and knight seemed reasonable.

Blue jumped out at me, but purple took some freee association to see. Almost wanted to go for the red herring, but it seemed too obvious.

I stared at the last eight clues for quite a while before the light bulb came on. Probably should have gotten blue sooner; I’m ashamed.

This is Thursday’s game. I should not have struggled as much as I did on this one. I went too obscure on my bad guess.

On Wednesday, I pretty much just wildly guessed Blue, based on them being last names, and even that I still had a “One Away”. And purple was pure leftovers.

So nobody else tried FOREhead, MASThead, ARROWhead, and BOWhead (a kind of whale)? Just me?

As well you should, because fore and aft aren’t parts of a ship, they’re directions on a ship. The part of a ship that’s fore is the bow, and the part of the ship that’s aft is the stern. Horrible category.
