I had a different - and entirely hopeful guess - for purple. As it turns out, I was kind of in the right ball park. But yeah, anyone who gets it with the actual NYT connection deserves 👏and a 🏅

I thought green was weak, PBD and also weak. Well done @WingBingo ! I’m now on a 111 streak, a long way off yours.

Blue seems a bit random and don't quite get purple.

Blue was kind of by default. It was a bit vague for me to be honest. I was expecting that it would be more exact.
