500 snuck up on me too. I didnt realize it was 500 when I first read your post.

It took us about 40 days to hit 500

Sorry darkx. I have noticed a similar thing where when I lose my streaks it takes me a few days to get another one going, and I tend to fail 2-3 times in 4-5 days. Its weird. Youll get back in a groove

bit of a frustrating day. Feels like I shouldve had this. I should have stopped trying to untangle the greens and blues, if the purples had clicked that wouldve been a huge help.

I'm gonna challenge greens here because "toad" absolutely fits in that category and I hear it used that way far more often than "skunk"

Im glad someone who solved feels this way too. I felt like the categories today had too much overlap. Im not a fan of the puzzles where you can see 5-6 that might fit together but you really have to solve some others first to rule out the outliers

I refuse to believe anyone calls a jerk a skunk. That is an imaginary term. Quit being such a skunk like what who says that

Was looking at it for a bit, then I luckily remembered the term "harriers" and the phrase "stop riding my ass". I put rat, creep, and heel together quickly, but wasn't sure about the fourth. Seemed like either toad or skunk could've worked as a general insult, but then "stool" clicked.

GREENS
BLUES

Never heard of a couple greens/blues in that context. I kind of saw what they were going for, and enough context guesses got me there. Though my first wrong guess was "animal named insults."

The purples felt obvious just based on the way the words looked, but I only made the exact connection with 8 remaining.
