Spent a long time on the fragile mislead. Purple by elimination, but was still uncertain enough that I waited till I figured it out before playing. No notepad.

Had no clue how they were going to map colors; I’ll claim a small victory for at least getting Purple right. No notepad.

Do not ever recall hearing “podium” in today’s Blue context, which is why I didn’t play Purple first. Ambiguity failed for the Yellow/Green coinflip. No notepad.

Saw the Bardic mislead, of course, but operation and battleship showed its falseness. Nearly went for the wrong purple first, but finally broke through my difficulty seeing words within words if they don’t fall on syllabic breaks (was not familiar enough with the work in question to be looking for that name specifically). No notepad.

Ambiguity won the day for Yellow/Green. This feels like not enough time since the last anagram category. No notepad.
