Tap for spoiler

Oof. Weak one today, and the rhyming presidents thing was a real stretch.

Of all the dumb purple stretches, this was the dumbest and stretchiest.

Ignoring my first two very wrong guesses, I did get purple #3 before blue, so it wasn't that bad 🙂. At any other time it would have been a lot more difficult, I think.

Commentary

This one is bound to ruffle some feathers. Expect the usual suspects to complain heartily about purple for sure, and quite possibly blue. I will be mildly disappointed if I don't see at least one variation of "How am I supposed to know that?"

Purple has every right to be complained about.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I reflexively read a spoiler comment today, so I knew what the purple category was. I honestly doubt I'd have solved the puzzle otherwise, especially given

Spoilers

Whip was in blue, but could have fit in with yellow, too. Indeed, that's where I had it at first.
