FJ came to me immediately, though I wasn’t 100% certain.
Kathleen did well to stay in the game, even though she didn’t get to try either of those last two easy-as-pie DDs. I try not to speculate on second-chancers, but I think these two are deserving. All 3 players were solid.
The link provided to the wheat clue doesn’t give its 5-letter name, but I know what it is. The hoarding commodity was semi-obvious. CUBA LIMO was a cinch. I was sure someone would know the casino heist film. I vaguely remember seeing the original over 60 years ago, as well as the remake. Rhyme Time was downright cruel today.
Howard, I thought I linked to the one that said the word in the description. I fixed it now but the right answer should usually be in the search bar. (It was when I checked the link!)
Example — the product says ‘5-letter answer wheat’ but it just says the ‘5-letter answer’ in the search bar.
I thought the final and two of the daily doubles were pretty easy. Some of the categories had some pretty tough material imo.
I agree that the final and DDs were easy. Some of those stumpers were in categories just completely out of my reach – airplanes, taxonomy, epochs.
I got a couple of the rivers the players didn’t. I got the Lewis Carroll creature too, and I ran the Rhyme Time category.
