Only got purple from the leftovers, 4/5 reasonableness.

Spoilers purple

The fact that purple comes from an American patriotic song doesn't help, but it's actually not the main reason I'm docking reasonableness. I'm familiar with the song despite not being American...probably thanks to movies and TV or something. No, the main reason I object to that clue is because "last words of a song" is just a bad concept for a category. Especially if the last 4 words of the song aren't used, since they include a repeat, and you have to stretch to the 5th-last word.

I feel like purple today was a direct middle finger from the author to those of us complaining about the overly American content of this puzzle 🤣

The little image at the end of this one made me lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

wat? I didn't notice that

[–] Jordan117 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, if you do the Connections Bot, at the end it links to the NYT comments, and each one has its own themed image.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Oh nice! I usually don't go all the way to the end of the bot because only the first few screens have data in interested in. I'll have to start taking a look.

Purple strikes yet again with the american centrism.

green

Did not even realise green was supposed to be dog commands. Not that familiar with heel.
