With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 0, ½, 2, 3, and 5.

I spent about five minutes solving this one.

My streak is at 78.

Once again I managed a guess that contained one element from each of the four categories.

⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ STARE
🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ LIMBO
🟩🟨🟨⬜⬜ BLUFF -- I know playing two F's was not very smart. I couldn't think of anything better.
🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 BULLY -- Bad turn. I later noticed this was a previous solution
🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 BULKY -- Bulgy was another possibility.

I almost did, but then I noticed there were five different pits, so I checked the other three words, and noticed that they, and one of the pit words, had something in common

Anybody else see "trim, buff, cut, ripped, jacked" and wondered where "slim" and "chiseled" were? One reason I had problems: I didn't know what "swole" meant.
