Irritating, but should have seen blue earlier.

Yellow was the trickiest - too many possibilities

Peridot1 · 13/09/2024 08:24

Too many possible connections for a few words. And not enough for others! Had to take a deep breath and look at it for quite a while.

Green & purple combo was irritating, I knew exactly why I might get it wrong

Damn! Far too many possible Greens, too many Yellows and I hadn’t heard of the fourth Purple even though I could see the link for the other three.

Well played, NYT, you really stumped me!

Green was default for me.

Agree it was difficult to pick out the yellows with so many similar words .

I concede. Too many combinations for this one.

As if we ever needed clearer proof that the NYT is totally biased towards American readership.
