Nice job all!

As stated the other day, I think this was a matter of getting some reps in. Seems clear people are much better at the game than they were on day one.

What I find interesting is that we all don't solve the puzzle in the same way.   There is usually two different colors that start off our process of elimination.

Good observation.

I feel like I should have struggled less with this one than I did.

The fact that Keith Richards has outlived Richard Simmons, sure makes me question this whole, "healthy eating and exercise" thing

I completely whiffed yesterday and got by today by the skin of my teeth.  I need to log in because I am posting this on a computer, and I did the puzzle on my phone. 


I had zero mistakes left and frankly, it was dumb luck that I got the last two patterns.

After a killer yesterday (and even worse the day before), I found today's pretty easy

Today's wasn't bad, although the fourth one (which I got by simply getting the other three) I didn't even fully understand.

I'm traumatized by the previous puzzles!  :laugh:  I would have had today's done in less than a minute but I had to stop and triple-check each group before I hit 'submit' to make sure there were no words that could be grouped with others.  :laugh:
