I’m still trying to find success with this game. I solve some but not all. Drat.

I’ll keep trying.

I’ve found that the tip from @toledo to reshuffle has really helped. I think the game puts the words in places to mislead you in the connections

Thank you for sharing that tip.
I’ll try that tomorrow.
I need to find a way to improve!

There was a lot of luck on this one. A lot! I learned new ways the groupings can be made. This game is a real challenge.

Practicing has helped me. For example, the purple category has been used before.

Had to shuffle a few times to see where the words with multiple meanings fit into the groups of 4. Thanks @toledo for that tip!

First time I’ve solved them all! Shuffling them does help.

I also need to not be too quick to submit without first looking at all the words available!
