Well, I got yellow, at least. Green I could see in retrospect, but never occurred to me, I had no clue of half of the blues, and I thought purple was something else, that didn’t connect to two of the actual purples.

Almost lost it on Monday’s one. There were seven possible options for either Yellow or Green.

Tuesday! I was pleased with myself for getting Purple. However I had no idea about Blue and have never heard of a Poodle used that way.

Monday’s green and yellow were too damned close. I’m not sure how we were supposed to figure them out.

Nearly failed again. I actually thought of the blue category but didn’t think it fit even when it was leftovers.

Got hit by a red herring that wasn’t in all four Types of skirts and I also never heard Poodle used that way.

Had a vague memory of POODLE used that way, mistakenly though it obscure enough to make the category blue.

I have heard of POODLE being used in that context, so green and yellow were easy. I got blue and purple by dumb luck.

Thursday’s puzzle I had all sorts of problems with. Firstly, American sport. Had to draw on obscure vague recollection to determine those. Second, I have never heard of a Mobile statue. And lastly there were too many options for the sword (which I guess is the trick of the game, but in amongst all the other stuff just annoyed me).

The category is SCULPTURES, not STATUES. A MOBILE is considered a type of SCULPTURE - think Alexander Calder.
