I absolutely love this teaser , and I think you all will too , not looking for competition just posting it

[kcmets]

I play this daily too. Sometimes it confounds the crap out of me and
I get the dreaded 'next time' and then other days, like this morning, I
get all four lines in under a minute.

Been playing for about a week, very frustrating, today was my first perfect

I took 1 turn to figure out the rules

[metirish]

I think what's great about it is don't go for the obvious, definitely some thinking involved

[whippoorwill]

Tried this. I like that it’s free :)

Only got the first line today, but I wasted two guesses getting to that

[whippoorwill]

First go at it.
Good thing I eliminated the other three categories first cuz there was no way I was getting the last one
except through process of elimination. Submitted it only after there were no other choices but without
having any idea what the connection was.

Nice, I'm trying to understand the blocks , the first two, Green and Yellow you got and didn't miss, third one you got wrong initially but only by one , so you only used up one try . Mine i got the first one but used two guesses to get the second line

Here’s my question from yesterday

What did Russian, Mary, and two other words have in common?

Second words of Vodka drinks

Yes the cool part is that if you get three you automatically get the fourth!

First two were easy, then I totally whiffed... (which is kinda hard
to do with two men on... )

Now I’m starting to realize that sometimes the words can have two meanings!

Now I’m starting to realize that sometimes the words can have two meanings!

Oh, it's definitely tricky, rigged and misleading. Some days more
that others...

[Frayed Knot]

Now I’m starting to realize that sometimes the words can have two meanings!

Yes. The word 'Shimmer', for instance, can be grouped with 'Dessert Toppings' or 'Floor Cleaners'.
