A miss from me today. 1 away 3 separate times, followed by a 4th hail mary guess.

My brainstormingMy initial tentative arrangement was this:

After the first three guesses missed, I tried rearranging into this:

But it's a swing and a miss. Never even got close to blue or purple (as you can maybe see, I thought blue was "stuff in a bathroom/laundry"), and both yellow and green had too many confounders.

Yeah, today’s was rough for me too. I’d like to blame sleepy brain, but I just got stuck in a rut.

Tap for spoilerI was stuck on possible baseball pitches/terms. That’s what I get for doing this at 2AM haha

I found today's

categories to be weird. I tried to eliminate the ones that wouldn't work to try and narrow down what was left over. I didn't see the last category coming at all

Today's was total BS! Spoilers:

spoilerThey really had "bits of hardware" not include bolt, AND "fishing gear" not include rod?

I got none of them. I think I got three "one away"s in my attempts.

Yeah I failed too for the same reasons. I figured out all the categories but kept messing up one piece.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 1 points 5 months ago

Wait you had figured out all four categories? There should only be one way that all 16 words can be arranged into 4 categories.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah having confounders like that is a very common deliberate part of the design of this game. Yesterday was especially difficult because of just how many confounders there were and how much cross-over there was with them.
