Blue was very America-centric. I’ve heard of one of those American unis for sure, maybe 2. Definitely never would have pieced together the last 2.
A lot of these are very American centric, which sometimes upsets me because I lack the culture to properly make a guess, but it’s the NYT so I can’t blame them
The ones that bother me the most are when the America-centrism makes it not just difficult to get for non-Americans, but literally impossible. Like today’s relied on knowledge about some American companies. But there have often been other puzzles that relied on you pronouncing a word with an American accent to realise a homophone or rhyme or something. Those are the ones that really bother me.
Yeah there’s also the ones that are just a bit too far fetched for my taste, like earlier this week it was something like “words without the [??] sound at the end” like I’m supposed to make a connection through elimination of meaning now ?

I dislike puzzles like this, with a bunch of proper nouns.

I was trying real hard to get blue, and I would have never gotten purple.
