    I didn’t figure out purple, it was just the leftovers. But I did really like it when I saw it.

    Another 5/5 reasonableness and accessibility.

          Yes, the comment they made just suggests they solved purple last, but the answer they pasted shows they did it first. I was just curious if solving it first was the reason why

          They said they use something called connections copilot to do the puzzle first before submitting :)

    Good to see I am not alone with purple today.

    again

    The homophones are kinda far fetched. I can kinda see beech and yew but fir and pear?.. Get out of here. Lucky that the others were so easy today.

      Purple

      I don’t see what was far fetched about it. In my accent they’re all perfect homophones, and I can’t imagine an English accent where fur and fir or pear and pair are not.

        I mean yeah I guess it might just be my brain not being wired in English. I assume you are from Australia or New Zealand so I can see how it makes sense to you.

        I believe myself to be quite proficient in English yet it is still my second language and me being Slavic really does mot bode that well for thinking in English.

        I usually don’t think of the words in English bit translate them in my head so I look for stuff that would make sense. So pronounciation is usually the last thing I think of.

          Ah right. I had thought perhaps it was some strong British or Irish accent or something like that which works in a way I wasn’t expecting. Unfortunately yeah, I don’t think the puzzlers can account for pronunciations in foreign languages; the puzzle is presented in English, after all. I do get frustrated when the puzzle requires speaking with a specific American accent, and an Australian, British, or even some accents from other parts of America might not work, and that’s the kind of thing that I created my recent “reasonableness” scale to represent: how reasonable is it for the puzzlers to expect a well-educated English speaker to be able to figure out the puzzle without hyper-specific US knowledge.

            Yeah I know that acvounting for some stuff just is not feasible. I am mainly frustrated that sometimes even after seeing the solution the category still does not work.
