C4 hint: The sixth letter is G.
@msh210 Is it ABRIDGE? A BRIDGE is span and if we ABRIDGE broad we get road which is maybe A BRIDGE as well?
not my intention, I'm afraid

Q: A puzzle about circles

Ξένη ΓήινοςThis is a simple visual enigmatic puzzle I created myself. It contains 2400 squares mainly colored using 3 colors, and there are two highlighted squares. Your task is to identify what each color represents, and what relationship to circles does the theme of the answers have.

@msh210 Is it "ARRANGE" (Apply wordplay) ? A RANGE is a span and ARRANGE is RANGE with more letters so a "broad range" ?

@msh210 MASSAGE (apply wordplay to) = MASS (broad) + AGE (span)
@GentlePurpleRain there you go
Although I don't know that MASS and BROAD really mean the same thing...
I can see how they're related in some situations, but I can't think of a phrase where one could substitute for the other and mean the same thing.
"mass extinction"
"mass unemployment"
"mass hysteria"

Q: A (maybe) simple Hokuro puzzle

CrSb0001Hokuro is a puzzle that was introduced to the Puzzling Stack Exchange on December 2nd, 2020 by sarsapilla as an entry for Fortnightly Topic Challenge #44: Introduce a new grid deduction genre to the community.

CCCC: Spooner's problem upon waking is beneficial, getting wife to follow him to extremes before starting to really nose in. (7,4)
20:07
@GentlePurpleRain _M _O R_ N_ IN G(W)OOD :p
ah, nice
20:43
@juicifer Correct, of course.
I had an alternate version that was a little raunchier: Spooner's problem upon waking is beneficial - hugging with behind cracked, minor nookie first.
lol
CCCC: Book in Criminal on an Illicit Network series describes city in New Mexico (5 OR 12)
@juicifer Truth or Consequences (5 or 12, city in N.M.) = RUTH in CON on TOR + SEQUENCES
@msh210 precisely
I was hoping the enumeration gimmick would hold this one up a little longer than that lol
I thought the answers might be two cities in N.M. of enumerations 5 and 12 respectively, so began thinking of N.M. cities — and almost immediately hit upon the answer.
(I know only two other N.M. cities, I think, so…)
20:59
fair enough
the thought was (at least in my head) that people might misspell and/or miscount the letters in ALBUQUERQUE, and then HATCH is a pretty well-known 5-letter one
not that I tried particularly hard to disguise the wordplay of it tho
oh, I didn't think of Hatch. Not sure I've ever heard of it, tbh
it's mostly known for its chile peppers
CCCC: The French: the first to occupy New Mexico city (4)
21:20
@msh210 le o_ n
@juicifer precisely so
CCCC: Part of Mexico! (4)
@juicifer Xico (the city in Mexico)
&lit
it's not a ddef now that i think about it more
@msh210 yup!
@TakingNotes also correct :)
21:22
but ultimately irrelevant as i was beaten
:(
bwahahaha
This is a bit forced, but
CCCC: Eastern subrealm of Albania? You bet! (5)
