I kept thinking it was something alive, until I hit on precious, stone, and gem, all of which only gave 1 hit each, but that prompted me to think about jade, which pretty quickly led me to colors.

Pretty frustrating one, and the one hint I used turned out to be pretty paltry. Even after getting psychology, I needed happy and anger to get me on the right track.

so proud of myself for getting this one so quickly with zero knowledge about this kind of stuff. got the second word in 8, the first word just came up in my brain, didn’t even know it was a real thing, but I guess I must have picked it up somewhere

blew it. second word in two then had to cheat. then kicked myself.

took ages until the university penny dropped. the oldest, eh? give me some time to #guess #the correct medieval #city then!

failed again! got german university in 9 (think I've been burned twice before not getting that particular 10 letter word) but I was never gonna get the first word. also failed yesterday - topology and 'group' the closest I got after 100 odd guesses.

Broke the streak, got this one honestly. I went down the "domesticated" rabbit hole which was a wild goose chase, but once I stopped chasing my own tail, I remembered that the correct word had a long history in English (though I'd forgotten the details) and that was what got me to the answer.

actually had “Carthago” (as it’s known in Dutch) in 5 and got three hits for it, so then the question became: how is it known in English?

For me the big hint was halfway down the opening paragraph. I also wasn't convinced that my guess was going to be the answer.

lol think we’re talking about the same hint, it’s just that I had apparently missed it in the first paragraph

I'm a bad comrade. I got realism on a lark because the article was looking like a style or genre, figured it was widespread in the Soviet Union, but didn't think to try the s-word even after trying communist, Marxist, etc.

My job is adjacent to the answer here but I've never heard of it. I kind of felt that it had something to do with encryption, which led me to the first word.

If the solution was plural, I guessed the singular. If the solution was singular, I guessed the plural. Either way, I guessed the wrong form and then faffed about some fifty guesses before thinking "oh shit I should guess the other form of the word"

totally wrong-footed by this one: thought it had to be a military ruler, *not* a monarch, and the thing about X-speaking countries in the opening paragraph had me thinking the wrong way around as well. also, my desire to keep a 100% score intact kept me from trying risky guesses and ones I was convinced were incorrect anyway, like cough… “monarch” and the country in question, which fit and had crossed my mind (including this particular leader). I could have just tried it, if only to rule it out, but no, had to keep that clean sheet. garbage tactics!

Weird one for me today, I thought it might be music related because the X/X had me thinking time signature, so I tried meter and it uncovered a lot of single M words, clearly as abbreviation for the unit of length, which sent me in a fruitless direction until I actually just entered music.
