It took me finding the first 3 to understand what I was looking for.

It clicked for me the first word I got so found today's quite easy. Probably helped that something which appeared to be an every day word is something that my DH is really into (and I really dislike lol). I do know what you mean @LenaLamont but I think it's around American categorisation.

I've no idea what I'm looking for! Got the first by luck and have just used a hint but nothing is making sense!!!

Took me a while today - I cantered off in completely the wrong direction in terms of the theme until got my third word.

I was crap today
