Not too tough, but unusual for yellow to be leftovers.

This is a Finding Nemo fact all kids-that-are-no-longer-kids know, as Dory is a Blue Tang.

When I saw MUNCH I spent a little time looking for European cities minus one letter.

It’s Christmas Day here in Australia, and they have not themed the puzzle at all. And I did not like this one as it was hard. I just took an educated guess at blue and purple and got the rainbow by sheer luck.

Same! I actually guessed it as parts of a takeout burger, and was surprised to see the reveal. I got purple, but only after I’d eliminated everything else.

I knew what purple was supposed to be


But initially I thought it was just the last two letters and then the first two letters so I kept trying to include fashion.

Misjudged yellow pretty badla again.

Same here.

First three categories were pretty easy for me, but I never did get purple (though I must admit it was a clever one).

Not my day.

It’s Boxing Day! Okay, fine, for most people here it’s known as Friday. And I got a reverse rainbow, with one mistake.

I probably made the exact same mistake. I knew where they were going with yellow and green but I don’t think that the categories were very clear.

BTW, I don’t know if anyone else plays Strands. I got all the words today but since I know nothing about the subject they make no sense. Can someone explain how each term is relevant? Some of them seem really random.

Boxes.

Weirdly, i saw the purple connection first, bit only saw two of them and didn’t see the others until I’d eliminated the rest. I felt a bit dumb about that.

This one seemed pretty straightforward but I didn’t figure out Purple until it was last.

It’s Saturday here. It’s true that you feel a bit silly for making mistakes, but we do have to remember they craft these things to deliberately mislead us.
