    Didn’t love purple, but the rest of it was pretty good.

    4/5 for how reasonable and accessible the connections were, since purple can easily be gotten as the leftovers.

    • If it’s any consolation, I’m a US citizen and purple was my leftovers today.

      Spoiler follows

      Two-letter state abbreviations are standard for the US Postal Service. The abbreviations in the puzzle are a bit archaic. I didn’t recognize them, despite Statele and Travle USA being two of my daily games.

    It’s a real pity that this puzzle, more so than any of the other NYT games, seems to rely so frequently on stuff that Americans would know and I most definitely would not 🤣

    Purple today was achieved by pure elimination.

    The elder took me for a bit of a ride but otherwise an alright game today. Just hope @[email protected] does not get mad I posted this first.

    blue

    Only made sense as it was all adjectives and then the states came in as what was left. Probably would not have guessed those.

      No mad. In fact, extra glad that there’s somebody who can pick up the slack when I’m busy, especially if they also help with the archive by screenshotting and including both the date and number.

    Btw does anyone know how to bypass/dismiss this very annoying overlay? It doesn’t have a close button. Sale ends soon for weeks at this point. It wasn’t like this before

      You can try the element picker in ublock origin. Screenshot looks like Firefox mobile, so you should be able to install ublock
