I was not familiar with the phrase "cut mustard", which refers to whether ala enough "do not cut mustard in a tryout.""Probably won't add it to my dictionary.

The yellow category was nice and simple antics, capers, exploits and stunts for adventure.

Btw, yesterday, while playing around with the archive, I discovered through trial and error that the strike version of the connection has no four errors and no policy like the regular NYTimes. You can obviously go as far as you want and it just tallies up how many false guesses you took. If you do strike too many strikes, but make for a relaxing game to ponder over, take away some of the tension.

This helped settle the blue category by artist, medium, title and year.

This is good because I didn't see what the purple group was trying to reveal. It ended up being an anagram of the artist's name. Dial (Dali), egads (Degas), Monte (Monet) and Yoga (Goya).
