Puzzle #352






Scary how I literally had the exact same result as post #312. I tried to put Solid in purple at first, then switched it out for Wicked after I thought about the fact that the latter had more than one pronunciation. Meanwhile, I never knew blue was even a thing.

Honestly, Action League Now was the only one I could remember before clicking on the topic. Used to think it was hilarious as a kid, though I have to wonder how I'd feel about it now, nearly 30 years later.

Surprised I didn't make a mistake somewhere, since I wasn't very confident in most of my guesses. I got green easily enough, but had to think for a minute to get yellow, and I was waiting for it to be wrong. Blue took even longer to come to me, even though I used to play music, and I don't know if I've ever heard of a steam or pump iron, so purple was a bust.

Even if a Jack in the Box was extremely close, I don't think anyone could win this.

Yeah, even if it was next door, you still have to wait in line, place the order, then wait for them to make the order. And it's fifty tacos - how fast can they be with that?

That being said, the nearest one to me is evidently ~20 minutes away, according to Google. I've never even been to one in my entire life, though.

I went there a ton of times when I was younger due to family, and I have a lot of fond memories related to it because most of them were older and are now gone. That being said, they changed the recipes for a lot of things I used to love there (mainly the chicken), so I almost never go any more; if I do, it's because of family, just like in the past.

Feels like just about every food place I liked in the past has changed their recipes around in the last five years or so, now that I think about it; that and the rising prices means I don't eat out nearly as much, at least, so that's probably better for my health.

Never would've figured out blue. Meanwhile, purple gave me no trouble. Go figure.

They sell the cheddar bay biscuits at the grocery store now, no wonder nobody goes to the restaurant now.

They've at least been selling the mix in stores for 10+ years now. We used to get it every once in a while and they actually tasted like the ones in the restaurants, though I can't say I could cook them as consistently well as they did. I saw that they sell frozen premade ones now, so maybe that's what you're referring to. I wonder if any of it'll still be sold if the restaurants close.

Anyway, I don't think I've been to one in 5+ years now, though that's probably because I don't eat seafood. They had other options which were okay for me, such as steak and chicken, though none of it was as good to me as what I could get from restaurants that focused on those things, and they also changed to recipe for at least the chicken a year or two before COVID. Good potatoes and biscuits, at least. I just took a look at the location near me's menu and what I used to get would probably cost me double now, so I doubt I'll be going for one last hurrah.

Super nervous today with my guesses, but did surprisingly well. Tried to put Pocket in blue since it's a pool/billiards term, then wasn't sure about Buy being in green, or if my idea for green was even correct, but it was the best guess I had and seemed to make the most sense. I was wondering what the heck Mac was going to be used for the whole time, too, so purple eluded me.

I was lucky enough to get through this quickly, and without any trouble. Maybe doing it later in the day and not right when I woke up made a difference? I don't pronounce Bury that way, and don't get me started on Leachy. I actually did wonder if Bury was going to be a homophone, though, since it didn't seem to fit with anything else, but ignored it to look for other connections.

These just weren't clicking for me. I had blue's category mostly figured out, but I was sure Mousetrap was part of it, and it doesn't help that I've never heard of a game called Werewolf. The yellow words' connection seemed so obvious that I figured it was a trap and focused on blue instead. My mistake.

I immediately figured out purple, but was trying to keep Pitcher in there. After I got that sorted out, yellow and green fell into place. But blue? No way I would've gotten that. As someone said, that was tougher than purple.

I remember doing riddles like this back in elementary school (the ones where they gave you a grid and you had to figure out what went with what). Pretty fun. I managed to win today and solved it in 8 minutes and 2 seconds, though I might've tried to go faster if I'd known I was being timed.

I never liked TFA, myself, and even said as much when it released. At least one or two people on this site told me that I was an EU lover that couldn't handle the fact that it wasn't the same story because I said it didn't feel like Star Wars to me. I was never outspoken about it, either, beyond that comment, so I wasn't thrilled by the rabid defenders. I'm definitely not one of the people you see complaining about it to this day, either; I moved on from the series a long time ago (though I still enjoy reading about the older lore from time to time).

And the problem I have with people saying TFA gets a pass because it's more or less a remake of the original is that it's not a standalone story in a different universe - it takes place in the same one, years after the bright, hopeful ending we got in RotJ, and it pretty much dumps all over it and the old heroes and resets everything back to how it was in A New Hope. We all know how the next two movies went, too, so I won't even go there.

I breezed through this, though I legitimately did not get yellow before the others. I don't think I've ever heard of a photo being called a "snap." Sure, I've heard the phrase "snap a photo", but that's not the same thing.

Most of this was pretty simple. I never seem to be able to figure out purples like this one, though.

I bought in at $130 something and sold at $345 and I'm never doing that again because that was super stressful.

I did the exact same thing (at nearly the exact same prices). I'm definitely sitting this one out.

I think I've heard of sup used in that context, but I tried pickings at first despite that not sounding right. Purple finally clicked after that when I looked at shady. Would never have gotten blue.

My brain just wasn't getting these today. First I was putting Tag in yellow, and I thought that the purple words could be homophones, but I'd never heard of Mame, so I didn't see a fourth word and abandoned that idea. Blue seems obvious in hindsight, too.

I genuinely feel that botw was better

BotW definitely had more of an impact on me; I feel like the story was a hell of a lot better in how it was told, plus the whole world/experience was new at the time. That being said, I think TotK improved upon everything else, so I almost feel like a hipster for saying that I still hold BotW in higher regard despite that. It was just one of those unique, one-of-a-kind video gaming experiences for me, and that's something you can't ever recreate or experience in quite the same way again.

Anyway, I'd rate both extremely highly, probably as close to a 10 as you can get for me. I just wish TotK told a better story.

I have a four way stop on my route to work and what I often see is where I'll be in position 2 in the example you posted, and someone who's in position 3 will ignore the stop sign if they're turning right and cut me off. There are even times where I'll already be in the intersection and someone will fly up and do that, too. Drives me nuts.

Driving, of all things, is what makes me realize just how stupid and selfish most people are.

I would've had a perfect if I hadn't second guessed myself and switched out round for rib. I also don't drink and know next to nothing about cocktails, so purple was beyond my grasp.

I saw one for the first time a couple of weeks ago, myself. It drove by me on the road and it kinda spooked me because it looked so... off compared to what you expect to see sharing the road with you. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of the design, myself.

I was testing out a GameCube I got off of eBay earlier today by playing some F-Zero GX for a while (sequel/remake/rerelease when?). I honestly don't know who'd win this fight - Falcon's kinda all over the place depending on if you count things like Smash, the anime, etc. I could see it going either way.

I for some reason was putting onion in with the green things, but eventually came to my senses. In my defense, I usually wake up really, really early thanks to work and often do these before getting out of bed.

I was determined to put Ferry in green, thinking of the act of taking someone/something across something and loosely associating it with words like Collar and Lead, but eventually got it when I dumped it. I actually thought of Stevie when I first saw Nicks, but didn't know of Plant or Ferry and thus couldn't get purple before the rest.

There are at least two yellow words that could arguably also fit in blue, so I tried a couple of combinations and moved on to trying to find something else.

I don't know how I did this. Yellow came easily enough (though I still wasn't fully convinced I was going to get it right when I tried them), then I had to sit and think for a minute or two before getting green (again, not fully confident in my answers). I then completely fumbled my way into purple after a few minutes of coming up with absolutely nothing by deciding I should go ahead and hazard a guess, then picking the four words that seemed the most likely to be together to me. I had no idea what the category was going to be, but I somehow got them right. I guess it's a win, but it was almost completely blind luck.

Yellow once again giving me more trouble than the so-called harder categories. I was definitely feeling less than confident with my guess for it even with only eight words remaining, whereas purple and blue stood out instantly to me from the start. As for green, I don't think I've ever heard of an everything bagel or an egg bagel. I'm far from a bagel connoisseur, however.

Gotta love those days when there are multiple words that fit a category. I especially dislike it when it's yellow, i.e. the category you'd think they'd expect you to get first, since they consider it the easiest group. I'm surprised I got purple, though I did look up the pronunciation of ohm to be sure I remembered it correctly.
