New and second have common associations which threw me.

Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Anytime you have the first two rows salted away with zero misses, you're feeling pretty good at that point. Still, I nearly blew this one.

Today's results



I recognized all 4 groups but I struggled with the more obscure definitions (plenty of you "missed by one")

This one took me forever after coasting through the first two.

To be honest, the third one really shouldn't have been that difficult, but for whatever reason it gave me fits.

Tough one. I never would have guessed the last one if not by default.

Today's victory is a tribute to being lucky rather than good

This game has made me reflect on just how many words have multiple definitions. I was looking for parts or pertaining to a bow or violin, and different types of alarms.

I was actually looking at *tail* as a lead word for FLASH, FEATHER, and WIND. Could match a 4th word with it so I had to abandon that grouping.

Wow. Absolute crash and burn. I was on to the right theme (the obvious one) but guessed the wrong combo twice so I gave up temporarily and then couldn't get the others. Brutal.
