SCANNER
TABLET
This seems pretty simple now that I’m looking at it, but when I was solving it, this was the last one I checked out. I wastrying to figure out if MICKEY and MOUSE were going to end up in the same category or not, particularly since I still had the yellow category left. That said, there wasn’t anything else that could go with the original Disney character. However, when I saw MICROPHONE and MOUSE, I finally put two and two together and was able to finish off the puzzle.
METAL
STONE
This was the second category I got, and it seemed fairly straightforward. I wasn’t 100% certain, but there was nothing else that seemed like a “base” material that could be used to make anything else. There are ways this one could have been made more difficult,but the last category restricted what words they could put in the puzzle. I liked this one, and I did have to do some inner searching before I finished this one off.

The Password Game can be frustrating as it uses complex mechanics that can be difficult to figure out, even with help.
SERVICE
SOLID
I thought this one would actually be the yellow category when I guessed it first. It’s the only category that is definition-based, and that is almost always the easiest kind of category to solve. I thought the computer pieces were way harder to put together,but maybe this is considered harder because of how the words are being presented. It’s not necessarily the primary way any of them are typically used, and I could see SOLID and PHYSICAL being paired up in another scenario.
MICKEY
PHYSICAL
I had no idea what was going on in this category andwas glad I didn’t have to think about the remaining words too hard. I listened to a lot of older music as a kid, but as my parents mostly listened to the decades before the 80’s, those years were mostly lost to me at the time. I’ve never gone back to listen to a lot of them, but maybe I should as I have heard it’s quite good.
