Got giddy after the first group, and made the usual error... Not sure I like the checkerboard effect—makes it harder to spot groups, for me anyway 😕

Wow I couldn’t see those last two at all. Strange that blue wasn’t purple though.
Also I’m not a fan of this checkered colour thing they got going on.

Sometimes blue will be like that, especially if they have a theme instead of just being random words with no other connection.

It’s supposed to look like a checkered picnic blanket I guess but it doesn’t really work, since they’re rectangles & not squares. Doesn’t make sense either, since “national picnic day” is in April, but whatever. It’s just a one-day theme.

Ooh thanks. I never knew it was picnic day so thought it was maybe a permanent change.

The visuals are awful.

Checkerboard pattern should have faded after selecting the first tile.
It was a cute way to scream Picnic is the red herring!
