I was stubborn today and was trying to make smthg work even though I realized it was probably a mistake. Hah.

I wasn’t giving in….but my stubbornness burned me.
Oh well! It’s Friday, haha!

I’m still trying to figure out what connects purple. I got it in four, but I don’t feel like it counts if I can’t figure out the last one.

Are you not able to see the description after you solve? Or do you mean that even after reading the description, you don’t see the connection?

But hey, if I felt like it didn’t count if I didn’t see the connection of the last category, I’d be lucky to “solve” maybe one a week. Take the win! That’s part of the game!

No I hate to consider the puzzle solved if I don’t see the connection with the last four left. Of course I can just click the last four left and get credit for solving the puzzle, but it feels like cheating to me. It’s the only thing I don’t like about the puzzle.

I found this one to be challenging. I don’t see why one of the blue items falls in to the category, so I needed to solve blue by default, and get the “tricky” purple category before blue. This made solving all 4 at once challenging, which can be important for some puzzles.

Maybe we can discuss blue tomorrow — I understand all of them.

I would have never guessed blue. I’m surprised that I got purple first but it just jumped out at me!
