think the key today was knowing the book titles (tbf I thought it was films, but splitting hairs) and the telly shows then the others were easy.

Good one today

Just 1 mistake

First time I've gotten them all (and for the right reasons) without any mistakes

Schmarn · « **Reply #166 on:** September 11, 2023, 05:03:06 pm »

First time I failed today. Too many films/books and went down a blind alley thinking one category was “things in the ground”.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #167 on:** September 12, 2023, 09:10:58 am »

One slightly obvious mistake today had I stopped and looked at the other words for a bit.

Completely fucked it today, got really mixed up with yellow and purple and just couldn't work out what they were supposed to be.

I went for bark instead of buzz for the animal sounds first up. That was the first group that stood out so didn’t connect bark to the other tree parts.

It took me a while to spot the tree clues for some reason so I wasn't sure about bark/buzz until then but got it before making a mistake.

There's usually a group with no possible 5th choice. Pick that and the rest usually fall into place.

Yeah, 'skinny' I'd never heard of.

Today, I started off thinking Jordan Peele films, but quickly realised that wasn't right

Was on the wrong track for that purple line

Spoiler

I was thinking along the lines of '--- hat'

and it became a trial and error to find the 4th. To find it wasn't what I thought...

Same as Barney!!

I got lucky.

Spoiler

Nailed the skedaddle and Pronoun lines straight off the bat.
I then had Santa, Fur, and Beanie thinking the clue was 'hats'. Guessed correctly the first time that 'Nepo' was some kind of hat.

I now see where the 'baby' comes in but it didn't click.
