Had to guess at one each of the last two. Guessed right.

Surprised purple was as straightforward as it was. Ok, their phrasing was a little different than my connection, but still got it.

1667

I’m going to need specifics here inorder to make a ruling - Guano was stymied by seppo bullshit, but what happened to you?

1668

I just wasn’t as specific as the answer they were going for. I just went with a more general category. I was going more along the lines of music genres. I admit, at some point the Grammys did quickly cross my mind – I think it may have been the word CHORAL – but that quickly exited and I just grouped the four because those are four that go together as being musical

1669

Ok we have enough to work with now. That won’t do - I’ve tried to tell myself in the past that it will, but it doesnt. There needs to be more of a satisfying ‘harrumph’, fuck yeah I got it and so forth.

That fleeting, throw a tea towel over the category but you don’t feeling needs a name

edit had to change quote to blur because it wouldn’t blur

1670

shrug Works for me. I don’t even care if I guess the final category I have left.

1671

Yeah me too but I get more little smart guy points if I know it, and the fast I know it with greater specificity the more personal little smart guy points I get. But of course I don’t care, it would be silly to care.

SUNDAY

Got yellow first thinking it was purple via elimination while purple sfuck out because that’s that and the others just aren’t.

1672

Sunday’s puzzle, I did some lucky guessing for Yellow and Purple. A clever theme, though.

Saw the red herring immediately and knew to avoid it but got one wrong because of spelling. I haven’t clarified in my mind yet if it’s cheating to look up a word I don’t know or aren’t sure of. Also only got blue by default. Purple was much more up my alley.

1674

Not cheating but should only be done when youre at a dead end and risk fucking it up totally?

Failed today. Last eight I knew what one of them was. Well two, but the second was so general a word I couldn’t divine a possible category from it.

Definitely harder than average, but a couple categories were in my wheelhouse. 58% completion rate with 5/5 difficulty according to the bot.

1679

It’s funny, this morning it rated it 4/5, it changes over the course of the day as more people attempt it, sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down.

1680

Yeah, it felt more like a 4 to me, but double checking, it is currently 5/5.
