My intuition wasn't really working this morning...

...and I only got the purple category because they were leftovers.

That would make that category tough! Track and field is a type of competitive athletics like running, jumping hurdles, pole vaulting.

I see. No wonder I didn't know it. Thanks, Katy!

( I also didn't know the Cuban heel or the double Dutch, among others)

Cuban heel:

Double dutch:

Thank you, Paul. Now that you mention it, I've played double dutch, although I'm not sure that's what we called it. Remember, I live in a state where for some reason Duck, Duck, Goose is called Duck, Duck, Gray Duck.

And I'm all but certain I've never worn a Cuban heel.


Today went better on both puzzles!

When will I remember to read weird words backward? I kept wondering if any of the other words were names of sugary beverages.

My bot is pretending I did not beat it. It's claiming to have gone from CRANE to LADEN to IMAGE, which strikes me as an extremely lucky guess. Also, why would it guess CRANE and then LADEN? The first guess already established that A and E were correct and where they were in the word. I understand trying a word that uses different letters than the previously correct ones just to expand the number of letters guessed, but why would it use letters already identified as correct -- except put them in different places, thereby knowing both that the guess would be wrong and that it was missing a chance to try other letters?

I'm beginning to suspect my bot is ... a FRAUD!! (Which would be a good word someday, actually.)
