shit that was hard

green was basically a lucky guess for me based on vibes, didn't really come up with the actual connection

Spoilers green & blue

I was thinking something vaguely TV related for green.

And blue was tough because I call the children's game a "chatterbox", rather than "fortune teller". Fortune teller isn't even the term I've heard most often from Americans: that would be cootie catcher, which I remember hearing some Community fans talk about when discussing that show's opening credits.

Failed this one hard.

This one felt really forced and unfair. Jesus. I discovered this game through Lemmy, but I'm reminded of why I don't like the NYT. It's extremely classist and some boomer level lingo.
