Barely squeaked by on this one. Thought I was toast.

Had no clue on the purple.

Had the purple category because I watched a movie recently where this subject matter came into play. So I was a little lucky on that one. Needed two guesses to get the fourth one though (I knew three).

The blue one became clear to understand once I had the three others. Couldn't get it before that though. They do this type of thing a lot (today's blue) though. I should be more on the lookout for stuff like that.

This game has a way of pulling the wool over my eyes. Today I got purple first and tripped up on the simplicity.

I found this one to be harder than average.

Another one that I found challenging.

The hardest ones of these are often the ones where there are six or so words that clearly fit. You know you have the right category but you don't know which ones to eliminate. The best strategy in those situations seems to be to just forget about that category and find another category. That will often take away one or even two of the six words of the other category, which helps out a lot. They definitely try to f--- with you with that trick though.

A lot more straightforward than the previous two days. Maybe they gave everyone a break today knowing people would be hungover.
