Kinda mad. Thought I had yellow figured out.

Any time there's a pop culture reference like movies, I mess it up.

I got it!

Huh, they rated this one 5/5 for difficulty, but I didn't think it was that bad. Misjudged blue vs purple though.

Something about >!shit cars!< I think.

Explanation for the above question

I find the NYT games only seem to be US-centric answers. So, it's a US based law about getting something that is already broken, but it's not disclosed before purchase. Generally used around cars.

Can't use the Reddit spoiler syntax on Lemmy. It has to be done with this syntax:

[visible spoiler explanation text][Text to be hidden inside the spoiler]

But yeah, I have no idea. I had to Google that myself. I only got purple because it was what was left over after I had already figured everything else out.

Whoops! Thanks for the spoiler tip. I'm using the Sync for Lemmy app and used the built-in spoiler tool, which apparently hasn't been updated from the Reddit version.

Yep...
