    What absolute bullshit this one today was. The hint article does not even exist.

    Absolute ass

    How the hell am I supposed to know the yellow phrase??

    Words that sound like plural letters??? Okay then have it your way with the stupid way english spelling is done.

    Of the songs I have only ever heard of gimme gimme gimme so I was never going to get that.

    First time I was genuinely angry at this game.

      Am I old for immediately knowing yellow? (very popular old movie & book)

        I immediate knew yellow, but rejected it outright as an option because it was a terrible connection. First, they just straight-up give it to you by it being the first 4 words in the puzzle. But mainly because “one entire line from a movie” isn’t a very good connection. And bonus points because they frequently give a sort of joke-but-obviously-wrong answer that you can read naturally by all being on the same row…exactly like this.

        I checked and could not find a book about it only that the quote is from the wizard of oz.

      I sincerely think you shouldn’t play word games if you’re not happy with English orthography.

        I am fine with the weird ways words are spelled as I know the reasons are historical and beyond anyone. I have made my peace with it.

        It’s the fact that if you spell letter by letter like a, b, c… the way you say it rarely reflects the sound those letters make in words. That was my main issue as my brain is not wired that way. The only ones I usually have a problem with were homophones and even those I have now got used to looking for.

        I just complained because when my brain sees bee or jay or you the connection of it being b or j or u is not there. In my language when spelling the letters you only ever make 1 sound for vowels and technically 2 sounds for consonants (w q x and y excluded as those are not part of our alphabet).

        So sorry if I offended you by not getting these conmections and being a bit miffed at my bad result as consequence of 3 categories being practically impossible to guess for me in particular.

          So sorry if I offended you

          I think you need some introspection.

              You got bested by a puzzle and got angry, blamed everything except the gap in your own knowledge (I could spot homophones of letters’ names in my second language, for example), and said I was offended about it, so there’s three reasons for you.
