A bit easier today
Y
1@G thought a trick
G it wasn't
B ( one of them a stretch)
P ( 2 to look up later )

[mugnapper]

Yes. YGBP. Lost a 1a life getting B as I was barking up the wrong tree  but then I saw it.

[tommy toes]

Done. Lost two lives guessing the purple.

Streak , a heady 2

[mugnapper]

Got it, but not easy.  YBGP.
Lost 2 lives, one on a non-connection, and a 1a before getting the B.
No idea on 2 of the P.

[tommy toes]

Nice and easy today. Good to get the purple first.

I've been watching for your favourites for ages . Hopefully today ?

Then I picked 4 , got a 1@ and picked another and ...

After P B start I tried to do it in reverse ! But Yellow popped up

Just realized if I had Row 3 sorted , why not just pick the other 4 ? Silly ***e

[mugnapper]

BGYP in quick time. My win % has gone from 76% to 77% after today lol.

[tommy toes]

Yes Wolfie, first thing i do is look for homothingys but continue to be saddened and disappointed.

[mugnapper]

Yes Wolfie, first thing i do is look for homothingys but continue to be saddened and disappointed.

I'm quite pleased as I was rubbish at them!

[mugnapper]

Odd one for me today. I think it's pretty straightforward.
Lost 2 x1a lives attempting P.
Changed tack and got a 1a G.
Then rattled in GBPY.

[tommy toes]

Nice and easy again. Same order as Mug but as I’m considerably cleverer than him, no lives lost (lol)

Almost a ditto

[mugnapper]

Pretty sharpishly done.
YBPG.

Streak moves to 9!

[Donnywolf]

Yahoo .... As above

Y

P

Streak a whopping 5

[tommy toes]

Bit of a struggle and lost  2 lives mixing up the Y and G but got there, purple very obscure imo.
G
Y
B
P

[mugnapper]

1a G, but then GBYP. Wouldn't have got P.

[Donnywolf]

Freakish win after looking early doors then going out

B
Y
G
P wtf ?

Streak 6

[Donnywolf]

Freakish win 2 with DOD of just 46 , but it nearly did for me as I lost 3 lives B4 getting a life line

Fail 3 colours ( going for obvious )
1@P

Dead in water . Darent try again
G

Prediction . Anyone else will skate it today no lost lives

[mugnapper]

Like you Wolfie, 3 lives lost, but also success.

2 x 1a P

Y.
I think I made heavy weather of it, but streak moves to 11.
I seem to remember having a similar run at this time, last year, when I hit my highest ever streak, 15.
I wonder if the regular puzzle setters take a holiday at the same time each year?

[tommy toes]

Very clever puzzle today with several mixed options. Lost two lives before getting it in reverse order to the norm.
P
G
B
Y

[Donnywolf]

It was then I think we would concur a bit of a false DOD of 46

8 lives lost between us . Mine were 3 straight off the bat and I was close to chucking towel in but "regrouped".

Is regrouping possible for an individual. They all seem to say it these days lol

[Donnywolf]

Skipped through it today , like a Moly through Bradford

I tried a first ( for me ) trying to solve it on paper B4 commiting myself

Dead easy , but as with my conventional method I couldn't see the P B4 I saw the answer

Y
G
B
P

Streak 8

[mugnapper]

Easy today. YBGP. Didn't get the P but didn't really look at it. Too much on edge. Streak 12!!

[tommy toes]

Yes an easy one
G
Y
B
P

[mugnapper]

Fluked it. YG were easy, then 2 x 1a B, knew 3 of them, then guessed the right 4th one.
(If I'd  had my glasses on, I doubt I'd have guessed the right one, as I thought it was a different word lol).

[Donnywolf]

Blew it . Streak nil

Y
G
4 lives left and could see connection of one but

1@P x 2
2 B 2 P

Just didn't perm correctly
