:::spoiler spoiler I got blue today with a different category in mind; I thought they were all homophones (wood, chock, kernel, cafe, although the latter is more of an abbreviation for a cafeteria in like a school or office pronounced caff, rather than a standalone restaurant which would of course be café). I also went back and forth a bit about what words related to fairy tales (didn't have HCA in mind, I'm not sure I knew he wrote the Emperor's New Clothes and the Princess and the Pea anyway, though I knew he did Little Mermaid) and which ones were pigs, having temporarily forgotten about Napoleon and also Piglet, for some reason. :::

I think you need a line break after the second spoiler and I think you are missing a space after the :::

Wait lemme check:

::: spoiler spoiler Yes :::

:::spoiler spoiler no ::: this doesn't load in boost but does load in the web version?

Yeah it's not just my app the first one renders right. Although weirdly enough now that I open this on web it renders ok but only the first one renders as a proper spoiler in boost. Weird.

Purple stood right out for me. The rest fell into place pretty quickly.
