What good is spouse? I had all the groupings before consulting her and even she didn’t get the purple connection before reveal. :swear: I even thought of Pipe dream, and would have recognized American dream though I didn’t think of it. But LUCID DREAM and FEVER DREAM ring no bells. Wife recognizes FEVER DREAM

My first attempt (not a submitted guess) was to find the last word to go with PIPE CIGARETTE JOINT, but I couldn’t find one.

Ditto.

Also got stumped with blue and purple. Never heard cigarette butts called stubs, also never heard of a fever dream. Still should have had it, especially since I’m one of those guys who has lucid dreams. Apparently it’s pretty rare since my therapist is always amazed when I tell her about one of mine.

I would never have seen purple. I saw the yellows, first, but there were 5, and i needed to group “edge” separately before i could guess them.

100% of the credit to spouse on this one, who got it with no mistakes. I consulted her only after my first two strikes, where I did have the correct idea and the right 5th, without being sure which of mine to drop. Maybe would have guessed right which to drop, maybe not. I had no inspiration about blue or purple, except that purple might well be the start of words, an idea she also had especially when down to 4 words

I had correct yellow when I first opened it, but randomly decided to swap dart with edge. Didn’t get blue.
