When I don't have a clue I'll sometimes look at a hint as once I've got one the others often follow!!

had no idea after blue 🤷‍♀️

Where do I find hints @kindletimeisfinetime ?

I could see the one row would be educational attainment but could only get 3.
As we've said it is very American it's a shame one of the British papers don't do a UK version

I got fooled by cadet, major and general so was thinking military

Am new to this but loving it! Thanks for sharing

Today was a bit silly I think.

@ThePoshUns

This is a good one as you can scroll slowly and just get a hint!

A bit annoying today as I was on the right lines with both the green and the purple but I couldn't get all 4 words to make it work .

Even though I made a mistake today, I found this easier than some others I've got first time. I knew what the connection for blue was, I just had five options and picked the wrong one.
