Had no idea about the Hitchcock movies. Glad they were the last to get solved.

[SteelBlue]

Purple was easiest and green hardest for me today. But successful so a good day.

[Copelius]

Phew. Took me to the last guess to figure out the sidekicks. Wouldn't have gotten Hitchcock if it wasn't the last one.

No way I'd describe "jerk, heel, dog, snake" as a "baddie".

Agreed. Dogs are awesome!

A little tougher than the last few days. I missed one. Not super challenging though.

[smokymountainrain]

this one was very easy for me, but i was impatient and lazy with it - missed three before eventually getting them. took me about 45 seconds total.

[Bo Diddley]

One miss on the foot parts. Ended up getting purple first.

[Copelius]

I got chewed up by the foot parts, then by the dog commands, so back to failure.

[PaloAltoCougar]

I had two misses, including more foot parts than necessary...

Pretty quick solve today but interesting that HEEL fit easily into three of the categories. I'm sure I'm forgetting it happening before, but I don't remember it. Wyna should have done "Cool your ___" instead of Musical Instruments so it would have fit in all four. Instruments didn't add anything anyway.

The puzzlemaker kind of mailed it in this morning.

Tuesday is always the easiest puzzle of the week.

that one was quick and easy - no errors, though i didn't know the mojito ingredients.

[MartyFunkhouser]

I got it but I mentally had grouped the cocktail words as a mint julep so not sure if it counts.

The mojito made it easy for me. You were not even close on the ingredients for a mint julep. Mint, bourbon, and simple syrup.
