I should have worked at it a bit longer due to my theory that all “negative” words have been pruned the answers but I couldn’t see another immediate option.

Opening move gave me a bunch of greens so then the next few turns didn’t churn up many new clues as I tried to fill in the blanks.

Oof, even taking a strategic fact-finding guess I went with a “I’d really hate to lose to this word” guess and got lucky.

Haha so many parallels but a totally different outcome!
I think I just happened to hit the trap points a guess sooner than you did, which was enough I guess?

I knew the themes for yellow and blue right off the bat but I was having trouble rounding out the four for both. I had an inkling about purple at four am but had to take a nap before the other two for that clicked for me.

I had 50/50 on that last one for might/wight and, picked what I thought was the safer option by a mile but should have remembered that this is hosted by Oxford and that was Tolkien’s home (especially since him popularizing wight was part of my thought process).
