BLUE: FIGURES IN “SHREK” DONKEY, DRAGON, OGRE, PRINCESS

My rating: Moderate
My score: Fail

I americium so, truthful irritated astatine myself today. I grounded today's crippled – my first nonaccomplishment for respective weeks – but really shouldn't person done so. My correction was to incorrectly place nan purple MAGIC___ group. Or rather, I correctly identified nan relationship – but not nan words that went wrong it.

Early connected I spotted MARKER, MUSHROOM, CARPET and KINGDOM, nan 4 solutions, but besides for immoderate logic included FLEECE. I was reasoning of nan aureate fleece, from Greek myth, but erroneously decided it was called magic not golden. That led maine to 3 times conjecture groups that included FLEECE but not 1 of nan different four, and suffer astir of my guesses. I past looked elsewhere and mislaid my last effort connected nan THINGS THAT ARE FUZZY group.

The frustrating point was that I had solved greenish (THINGS WITH SHELLS) and bluish (FIGURES IN “SHREK” ) without excessively overmuch trouble. If I'd simply person sense-checked that purple group much cautiously I'm judge I'd person completed this. D'oh!
