The Fyfes have always been strong spellers, but not as strong as the Robichauds, one of whom dominated last week’s quiz.
This week your challenge is to fill in the blanks in 1990s song titles.

I knew enough of them to puzzle out all 25 with 58 seconds remaining. It’s the reward for having to sing Jon Bon Jovi’s ‘_____ of Glory’ at school and to endure Extreme’s ‘More Than _____’. I got totally sick of Jewel’s ‘You Were ______ For Me’ on the radio, and I went to a wedding where ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A _____’ was an uncomfortable choice for a very tongue-oriented kiss.
Can you beat my time? Do you have any stories around any of these songs?

25/25, 1:14 left.
Great work, I think you’re the fastest at this point.
25 – but alas, 4 seconds slower than James!
James was pretty darn fast.
A Wordle quiz. Got ’em all but only 3 seconds left.
Thanks for the reminder to check Wordle – I better do that now.
No stories to go along with my 25/25 score, other than the relatively slow timing with :31 left on the clock.
Perfect score though.
25/25 with 1:06 left on the clock
Great work!
25/25 with :53 left. I pieced it together logically but I did remember many of these tracks.
Yeah, I’m often a bit shaky on 1990s hip hop. I’m not very knowledgeable about hip hop anyway, but especially poor on 1990s.
25/25, but pretty slow, with only 0.24 left
Guessing 25 things in 96 seconds is still pretty fast
I feel stupid… I got SCORE
20/25
I was amazed by all the 25s this week. I guess a few of the contestants are more like my age, so it’s easier for them.
Yes I saw that…I felt stupid. I really didn’t know 20…not the songs…I just used common sense with the titles on the ones I didn’t know…it worked a lot.
18/25 but I didn’t miss any. I ran out of time. I went a little too slow on this one.
An overcorrection from last week?
Probably so.
19/25 ran out of time and think I could have gotten a couple more
Good work.
Thanks!
Story about Gin & Juice: a few years back one of my favorite local bands, Dutch Henry, did their unique cover of the song. I grew to love their cover and have yet to hear the original all of the way through. Just went to youtube to listen and Snoop’s original sounds nothing like their cover.
2/25. All the ones that I didn’t know for sure I got wrong. I guessed wrong every time
Wow!
I got 12/25, but hey, it’s better than nothing!
I assume you weren’t alive for the entire decade.
I was born in ’98, so yes lol!
