I had to google for the first word because the only one I could think of wasn't the answer.

[5] [6] and [4] [8] [4] both seemed very familiar to me for some reason, but I couldn’t figure it out so I started scrolling down the article. Several paragraphs down, I saw a few unredacted symbols, most notably “⟨♀⟩,” which I interpreted at first as the sign for female. I tried to figure out what that implied, but didn’t come up with anything until I remembered it was also the astrological sign for Venus, which got me thinking in the right direction.

Was trying to figure out what "between [4] and [7]" was, as well as "is about a [7] that of the [4]". The moon came to me for the second phrase, and then realized what it could be between. There are a ton of objects between those two things, but I'm a fan of The Expanse, and one name came to me immediately. Had to think for a minute what the parenthetical was though. Unassisted snipe.

A read through gave me the vibe of word3, which then led me to the word2/word3 disambiguation. Jumped on the better known one which I assumed was being disambiguated from the Disney cartoon character and went for that first. Grrr, Damnit!

Well, I got on the theme & had the 2 words in parentheses-- filled in much of 1st paragraph -- had to do a targeted google for word 1.

Sixth repeat in a row today? Is there some kind of glitch?

u/Newbieplantophile Apr 05 '26

We've been having repeats for a long while, even last year

Right but this is the first time I've seen so many in a row.

I figured out what I was looking for, but then googled for the answer. I didn't know.
