Yankee Doodle is an INCREDIBLY American thing so I'm not surprised, assuming that's one of the ones you haven't heard of. I have no idea WTF Dipsy Doodle is.

Cheese Doodle and Dipsy Doodle are the ones I haven't heard of! I forgot where I heard about Yankee Doodle first, but possibly the Cranky Doodle Donkey from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic being named from Yankee Doodle.

Oooh. Cheese Doodles are a snack. I'm not sure if they are a brand name or generic, but they are very similar to Cheetos.

I got excited when the puzzle loaded, because it looked movie heavy. Only ended up being 1 actual movie category but was still fun.

I had the general idea of what the purples ended up being pretty quickly, but I wasn't sure of what a fourth one might be. I guessed Omaha before getting it right with Vegas.

As someone who does not know celebrities or movies very well and also thought the presidents were an obvious trap, this one was pretty tricky.

I was worried when I saw those names and parts of movie titles, but it worked out. Not sure what the gerund before Las Vegas is, though. I was thinking Viva Las Vegas.

my wrong guess was coolant, chicanery, hippodrome, smartwatch words starting with a flattering adjective

I googled legerdemains definition, I am not sorry.

Big nope for me today. Took me like 5 minutes to even see the yellows, and from there I spent another 10 minutes staring at these words and didn't even get any "one away"s (though I swear I tried three of those greens at once).

I had to use a Notepad to organize this one, because I saw like four different groups of threes and needed a clearer way to see what was left.

I thought for awhile that there was a baby-related category with bottle/rattle/booty, but then I noticed the calls... and the only fourth thing I could see was booty, but then I wasn't sure they'd actually use that term, lol.
