Tell me what you think it is.
#1: Belita (belita) on Jan 22, 2018 [SPOILER]
Tea and cupcakes? Tea and muffins?#2: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 22, 2018
Tea cake? Great image.#3: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 22, 2018
Belita is closer, but I like Norma's guess. Generalize the cupcake.#4: merkey (merkey88) on Jan 23, 2018
And thank you, Norma. ^-^
Sweet Tee?#5: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 23, 2018
Not quite, Merkey. It is an answer in the form of "__ and __".#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 23, 2018
tea and cake?#7: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 23, 2018
Throughout the comments I'm seeing all the right words, but I'm waiting for the right combination. It is tee and __. You guys have got this. You'll get it. ^-^#8: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 24, 2018
Oh! Tea and crumpet?#9: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 24, 2018
I thought of tea and crumpet but then I looked up crumpet and crumpets are flat and look like an English muffin.#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 24, 2018
Artistic license :)#11: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 24, 2018
Ha! I totally agree, but sadly, it's not it. What's a general word for baked goods? I've heard the full phrase relate to teatime. I think it may be more popular in England, but the phrase isn't unheard of in the U.S.#12: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 24, 2018
There you go, Kristen. Don't you just love artistic license?#13: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 24, 2018
Tea and pastries?#14: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 24, 2018
No. Keep trying. Hint: how do these pastries, cakes, and other baked goods taste? That will give you the word.#15: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 24, 2018
Tea and sugar?#16: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 25, 2018
No...#17: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 25, 2018
Do you guys just want me to tell you? I will still let you guess if you want to, but if you want me to tell you, I will oblige.
I give up.#18: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 25, 2018
I guess it's not Tea & Cake, since you already mentioned cake. Tea & Sweets?#19: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 25, 2018
Tea and sweets! You got it, Kristen! Or, actually, it's tee and sweets, but you got it! Well done! I commend you all for your perseverance. I never meant for it to be so difficult; perhaps the phrase isn't all that popular.#20: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 25, 2018
Never heard it before. :) Besides tea and crumpet, the only tea phrase I was familiar with was Tea and Sympathy. But that didn't seem to fit. Unless you felt sympathy for the golfer when her ball landed in the water hazard.#21: Aurelian Ginkgo (AurelianGinkgo) on Jan 25, 2018
Or in the cupcake. lol#22: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jan 25, 2018
:)#23: Wombat (wombatilim) on Aug 18, 2022 [HINT]
Line & color logic solves everything but the red in the upper left. To solve that section, I had to keep mentally zigzagging around to narrow down the options. Fortunately that was feasible given the small number of clues left, but I'm marking this as deep lookahead, since I was definitely going more than 2 steps at a time.
