Thabk god I checked some hints. How the hell is yellow the easiest? I have never heard of any of those.

Also

what the hell why is there 4 boxing weight categories and it's not actually one. That is a filthy trick.

I see you fell for a similar trick. And bantam is a weight class fwiw.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. I luckily use connections copilot and went to look at the hints after making rhe weight classes category and then being unable to make anything else that works.

Bastards are hip to DNS-based ad blocking now. Now it hangs indefinitely instead of letting you through to the game.

[–] CarrierLost@infosec.pub 3 points 2 weeks ago

Was wondering why it was hanging. Oh well, guess I won’t play anymore.

Almost fell for the herring again but

spoiler

the creams saved me. Without heavy cream there were only 3 and I was sure creams had to be a category, so I started rechecking everything

Once you spot a herring you can start thinking that it might be a rainbow, so each word has to be broken up.
