RULES

There are three puzzles, each sets of seven clues. On the first day, I'll release one clue for each puzzle. The three puzzles range from easy to hard and you have to find the thing that connects the clues. If you think that you know the answer, put it in the comments and I'll tell you if you're right. If you want to figure the puzzles out yourself, don't open the comments. If you cheat, you're only cheating yourself. This is for fun. Clues will be added around 5:00 PM UTC/12:00 PM GMT/9:00 AM Pacific daily. You can guess once after each clue is added.

Sorry, those are incorrect. The goal is to find something that connects them, so I'd advise waiting for other clues first. Today's clues were just to give everyone a little time to get some ideas.

(Not my guess) could you do it every few days cuz I don't want the RUB filled with blogs (not trying to be mean), and even though I am excited for this, I don't think a blog a day will be well suited.

(Guess):

1. Kitchen

2. Music

3. Romantic Period

I'm editing this blog to add clues.

As for the guesses,

"Kitchen" and "Romantic" are incorrect. "Music" is too vague, I'd recommend elaborating when the next clue drops.
