Why am I sharing results of this darn game.  At least I was only one off on each guess.  The other day I had 4 colors in one guess.  Pffft

I had to look up one of the blue words, but even that didn't help. Good thing I got to where only four were left. Never heard any of those in the context of the category.

Blue was hardest.   I stared at Blue and Purple for 8 of those 10 minutes.  Then Purple hit me.

Never heard any of those in the context of the category.

Only one of those in Blue could I have gotten

We did them in the same order. And I always take a long time on connections. Usually in bed, propped up with my coffee.

I do listen to some rap, and thought I had this one in the bag. 5 subgenres of wrap, just had to guess the right combo.

Had to google what a .....rail was.

Crunk is like a high speed rap with a techno like undertone. It's very loud and very fast paced.

It can also mean excited and in some cases drunk.

I have come to justify my online puzzle time with the latest research. A recent study found that older adults (70 and above) who exercised their brains with literary and active mental activities, such as using a computer, playing games and doing crosswords or other puzzles, were associated with a lower risk of developing dementia over a decade. The link remained strong even after researchers adjusted for differences in education and socioeconomic status.

Here here! Exactly why I do my puzzles every day.
