Hadn’t heard of any of those red shades aside from moron, so of course I thought it should have been P. Many more of us use spreadsheets than own sausage dogs.

Wasn’t sure about Intuit Arena or Torrey Pines but guessed right about the CA theme for G. Then the P theme became clear to me. I could see why this had a low solve rate, since not everyone knows their State Capitals.

59% solve rate today Fortunately solved enough crosswords to know that morays and congers are eels. Seemed logical that ribbon would be another type, gulper was just a guess. THen I was going for stuff that was orange/yellow before I figured out P. I didn’t quite get the G theme but figured that at least the first word would be food items.
