I saw the blues first but I wasn't sure if Genesis went with them, until close to the end. Also didn't know ALF was an abbreviation.

I didn't know Alf was an abbreviation, but it went with "3-letter TV things from the 80s" so I included it.

was using tang improperly and used stag for animals. Ive never heard stag outside of stag-do or whatever for a bachelor party so I guess it kind of makes sense but also its dumb.

I also tried TANG with the yellows. It bothers me on a conceptual level when yellows have more than four, or have some weird quirk you can only get after solving one of the other categories, since it implies you can't do yellows first, which if that's true, then what's the point of the difficulty system at all? I know Connections uses very arbitrary difficulty, but still...

It bothers me on a conceptual level when ANY category has more than four and todays had two of those. It defeats the purpose of the puzzle I think.

This one is thankfully more straightforward.

green

blue





I don't think I'd ever seen areal before, so it took me awhile to realize what it probably meant, but luckily I got it just in time. I kept trying to put aerial in with the purples instead. I only knew two of the four fonts for sure, and lucked into getting Impact and Georgia on the first try. I almost picked Arabesque for one of them.

Yikes. Only really knew two of the blues. Arabesque sounded a lot like a font. I was surprised when my third wrong guess was two off instead of one, then I figured maybe it wasn't a font.
