Wow, this puzzle defeated me utterly. I got none.

Tap for spoilerNever heard of Inspector Morse, never knew the name for a female goat, never heard of the prefix twi- (and it means 'half' in twilight, not two), and haze is not a hypnotic state by any definition I've heard.

Interesting, I found today's easier than usual.

spoilerI wonder whether today's is more British leaning than usual? I tend to struggle with the overtly American puzzles.

Inspector Morse, for example, is a classic British TV show that is still sometimes shown in re-runs.

Hypnotic wouldn't have been the word I used to describe yellow but haze clearly fits with dream, trance, and spell as a being in a "fuzzy" mental state e.g. alcohol haze, drug trance, under a spell, dream state.

Also, I'm fairly sure I learned nanny at school.

Tap for spoilerThat very well could be!

Connections often throws in red herrings, so I thought that no way could Javert and Clouseau could be connected. Then I saw Gadget, but simply could not find another Inspector. (OTOH, Clouseau, hootenanny, Moscow, and dioxide all have two O's.)

It does occur to me that I know a nannygoat, but never would've thought of it. Oh well.

You may wish to revisit that postulation. :)

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In American English, we usually pronounce - eau like the letter, O.

[–] remon@ani.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Still only one o in dioxide.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Dioxide is literally two O's!

[–] NachBarcelona@piefed.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ot means double or half though.

And this one was a real hard nut.

Fairly enjoyable, although I wouldn't have ever got purple!

spoilerSame. Even knowing the category, my brain took a second to see "hen".

spoilerI can swear they've done "parts of word animals" before, so maybe that's why it popped out after the inspector category (Morse was a guess in there for me, thought I'd heard his name but never seen whatever he's in, but no other words seemed much like names anyway). Didn't remember a out twi- meaning 2 til I got down to the end. Fun one today

spoiler'Haze' is a cute bit of misdirection to a 'code' red herring because it would be the 'Hays' code from Hollywood in the mid century.
