Even worse if you live on the other side of the world.
Okay, fair enough. Though the category reads “ATTRACTIONS ICONICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR ORIGINAL FORMS.” I would argue that the adverb is a pretty big stretch on that one.
They are talking about the green color which is inconic, not the arm
Wasn’t the green patina exactly what was expected?
Maybe it’s an urban legend but supposedly not
When I was a kid we had an old knick knack model of the Statue of Liberty that was a few decades older than I am that was the original copper color. It made me very confused when I was young.
The connections category never said anything about the change being accidental.
Bah. Fell for the red herring today, but cleaned up after that. Only realized what the last category was when it was the only one left.
Today’s purple was my last and I still didn’t see the connection.
On the other hand, I solved the purple category first today.
Today was a quick-solve for me, although it would have taken me a lonnnnnng time to figure out Purple.
On my first read through, I thought, “That might be Alicia,” when I got to KEYS, so I didn’t fall for the red herring. But I’m still not sure who KING is actually referring to. But I also saw blue almost immediately, so it was easy enough to determine that was the last word remaining for purple.
Probably Carole.
I got purple because I saw KING, WONDER and LEGEND and thought the connection was phenom and guessed KEYS also fit
Maybe Ben E.
For me it was blue, purple, yellow, green. I had no trouble almost immediately seeing three out of the four purples, but one was evading me. It’s one of those categories that if you laterally think out other possible uses of the words, once you get a couple, the others fall in place. In my case, LEGEND and WONDER for some reason evoked John Legend and Stevie Wonder right away – I have a feeling I had scrambled the words so they were side by side, so that helped. And KING was the fourth one I was having trouble figuring out. And I’m still unsure which King is being referenced, as there’s so many. Carole sounds like the best fit, but my mental category wasn’t as specific as the one given in the category. I just thought “musicians.”
I only got the yellow one. For some reason, I couldn’t get my mind off of BOWL - Orange Bowl, Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and… nada. The purple one Blank Candy had me stumped. I give up too easily in this game.
I was sure that there once was a Silver Bowl. Guess not.
Today (3/14) was a slam dunk for me, as I got Yellow, Blue, and Purple quickly.
However, I doubt if I would have ever gotten Green. I obviously don’t shop at the right stores, where charging cables are located near the register. Or maybe I just haven’t seen them.
I got that one, but not for the reason they gave. I though it was things you bring in a carry-on bag for an airline flight.
