I got absolutely destroyed today. Not one category. Three of four for yellow and couldn’t get the last one, though slapped my head when I saw it. In my defense,it is 2:45 am here.
Yeah only got one and saw another clearly but couldn’t find the fourth and boom my guesses were up.
I got Blue quickly today but then got stumped for a while. Like @pulykamell, I got 3 of the Yellow and FINALLY figured out the fourth when I used the alternate pronunciation for ‘Entrance’.
When I was down to 8 boxes, I got Green fairly quickly.
I wouldn’t ever have gotten Purple, as I’m not familiar with the ‘clapping song’. And I raised 3 kids.
Lost today breaking a 27 day streak. Was down to 8 and knew three, but couldn’t see the fourth. One of the groups I had no idea, still don’t after seeing the solution.
Today was a hard one, purple was just leftovers for me.
Yeah, purple was a true WITW (what in the world) for me.
I never heard of that song.
Today I bit on a red herring POCKET FLY BUTTONS RIVET as things found on jeans which earned me a rainbow of shame. Did get things sorted out eventually, though as with others purple was just the leftovers for me today.
Same.
Third that one. I was misled.
Me too and then got my ass kicked. I’m glad I’m not alone. I would have been pissed if I came here and you guys were all “I easily got that one”. And my sister sang the Miss Mary Mack song in the 70s
I didn’t get purple until it was the last group left (after it finally occurred to me that hospitals have wings). Man, does that take me back - I haven’t heard that one since the 1970’s.
I got them simply because I only had purple left. I never in my life heard of that song.
Glad I’m not alone.
I kicked myself because I did know the Mary Mack song when I was a kid. And when I was free-associating on the words, Mary Mack actually crossed my mind. But I abandoned that train of thought when nothing else fit MARY ____. I didn’t think any further into the song.
Just gonna say “Argh!” to one of the items in the Purple group today (Monday). You’ll know the one.
Ha! Agreed!
I came here just to see if anyone thought the same. Straightforward puzzle overall, but I don’t think I would’ve figured out the purple theme with all the time in the world.
Agree wholeheartedly!
First 3 categories were extremely easy, I thought. Got all of them in less than a minute. Looked at the last four clues for a short time to try to figure out the commonality and had absolutely no idea.
Today I solved Purple first, a rarity for me. ‘Monty’ made me think of the category, and the other three fell right into place.
Blue was my default category today and it seemed a bit obscure, at least to me.
