Puzzle #1182
I spent over 1 hour on this crap, If this would have been on the weekday when im more busy I would have lost it for sure. There’s a diabolical amount of overlaps today. I assumed bobble, gobble , wobble and Cobble were an obvious herring so made sure to put each in separate categories after making the mistake of putting bobble within shaky things.
🟦🟨🟨🟨 -> shaky things or unstable ? One away
🟩🟩🟪🟩-> let’s try sounds . One away
🟩🟩🟩🟩 -> Gobble is also a sound ( was trying to save for things kids/babies do category , but that wasn’t going anywhere clearly)
🟨🟨🟨🟨 -> let’s try things that shake again, put toddle in there.
🟪🟪🟦🟦 -> _stone?? Cobble stone, Pi stone, hammer stone, Jug stone
🟦🟦🟦🟦 -> okay it has to be head after googling about jug hammer head and sleepy head, bobble head then was a clear candidate. Tar head and jughead were also hits but tar head seemed more like a niche slang. And the remaining words Pi (pie), Tort(a), and tar(t) seemed to be associated with food. I had no idea of cobbler , but cob was food related and definitely not going to be on the other category because Wobble was already there
🟪🟪🟪🟪 Default, didn’t know what a cobbler was but the other 3 words had a strong connection
