I call shenanigans. Aren’t Spaghettios round? It’s even in the name. The one with the long skinny ones was Beeforoni

Couldn’t suss green vs. blue.

The word is spaghetto, not spaghettio. Spaghetto is the singular of spaghetti.

Bonus points to the puzzle makers for using one of the nihilists in The Big Lebowski (Aimee Mann) as one of the squares.

Oops thanks.

Which, I have to admit, I did not know. Ignorance fought, yet again.

In my defense, however, I asked my wife, who is the Chief Cook in this household. She was also unfamiliar with the word.

It’s Wednesday. I failed. Warning: There will be anger.

I don’t know, I liked the thing they did. But probably because I got BLUE first.

Failure today. Too many dogs, didn’t even think of two dog categories - was trying to finish a “____ party” red herring.

Thursday is here. Had to guess at some of these.

Easy-Peasy, and red herring (First part of pop-rock band names that end in numbers - Matchbox 20, Blink 182, Maroon 5, Sum 41) successfully avoided. I doubt most Dopers would even see that one.

No hope for a RR today…they all seemed to be of the same difficulty.

Friday at last. Got the ‘harder’ ones first and the ‘easy’ ones last.

Started off good but got derailed.

Too many spherical items and had to guess at a couple of the eels.
