- Connector: Types of cheese
- Clues: Goat · Blue · Cream · Paneer · Mozzarella
- Difficulty: Moderate (3/5)
- Fast strategy: The turning point was the fourth clue: 'Paneer'. My entire 'Colors' theory shattered in an instant. I knew Paneer was a type of Indian cheese and definitely not a color. I briefly wondered if it was some obscure color name I'd never heard of, but that felt like a desperate stretch. It was clear the puzzle was leading me down a wrong path on purpose.
