It’s Tuesday, and I have a day off work. I was very pleased that I figured out Purple.

I saw three items that marginally fit into a category: ROLLER BAG, CARRY ON, and CHECK as options for airplane baggage

Wednesday, I probably should have figured out Purple.

I fell for the red herring today, but then managed to persevere.

Golf clubs: WOOD, WEDGE, PUTTER, IRON

I get an “A” today. I’ve never heard of Flatiron Building before and just had to guess that it is wedge-shaped.

I don’t agree with BLUE (Nothing about Poke Around implies moving idly the way Putter, Shuffle or Loll do. Poking around is quite active actually)

If you watch movies set in New York, you’ll realise you have seen it before. It’s a notable landmark.

Meanwhile, here’s Thursday’s game. I guessed at Yellow, and did not figure out Purple.

Not too difficult. Although for BLUE : Raindrops and Uvulae are not normally teardrop-shaped.

Also, today I learned there is such a thing as a uvula piercing :scream:

Today was rough. I did not figure out the last two and just guessed on feel. There was a cute Easter egg in the opening array (A few of my favorite things. ). I like when they do that.

My 150th reverse rainbow (been working through the archives and they count towards the statistics)!

They are in cartoons.

I got an “F” today. I couldn’t figure out yellow or purple.
