I spent some time looking for Video Game systems but otherwise it was pretty straight forward.

Here I am again with Thursday’s game. This was a tricky one for me, but I got them in the end. Late in the game I realised there was a red herring that I had overlooked.

Thought there might be a different food thing going on initially, but otherwise fairly straightforward.

Dumb mistake on my part while entering yellow the first time, got interrupted and then forgot what I was entering.

To quote Rebecca Black, it’s Friday. I failed this one because I have never seen Stag used that way, and was going for Jack Malone as rhyming slang for Alone.

This was frustrating for me.

I kep getting one away on the male animals because I was including STAG. Then I saw the Chinese Dynasties but only knew three of them. Once I eliminated STAG I knew the animals because I had been one away twice so I got the last two categories semi by default.

I was shocked at how easy purple was.

I’d say more, but the fucking spoiler tag isn’t working. Again.

1655

There were five words that would have fit in purple and I guessed wrong.

1656

I got Purple first too

If you’re in the WYSIWYG Editor, use the dropdown list to apply the spoiler tag. Writing out the code yourself in this mode will not work, it will just appear as inline text.

If you’re in the Markdown Editor, you can use either the dropdown or write the code yourself.

Meanwhile, Saturday’s had its challenges, but I got them pretty quickly. I didn’t guess the exact category for Purple, though.

That still counts and it doesn’t matter they had something more specific in mind. It’s also fine if you have a completely different reasons for grouping that also works.

For too long we have lived under rlunbewrable NYT pressure over puzzles.
