I saw the magazines first, but thought it might be a red herring because I know they’ve used that category before (maybe even with some of the same clues).

Tried to figure out purple for a minute or two before giving up. Not sure I would have gotten there in a day.

I’ve never heard of Spin magazine, and only picked it because it seemed a little less implausible as a magazine name than the other words i hadn’t selected.

I would never have guessed purple.

Thursday’s game, I was at first completely lost, but one by one things started to coalesce.

Would never have gotten GREEN by itself. Bloody very regional Americanism + Sport. Sucky.

I initially had absolutely nothing. I actually went away for several hours then came back thinking I would still be lost but I actually got every category except I only saw purple when they were the only ones left.

I don’t really know American sports teams. I thought pistons have bolts, too, but maybe it’s called something else.

Got tied up on green. Once I saw blue I was able to get purple but was still way off on green.

My first guess for purple was “ending in places people gather”. And i didn’t see the actual answer. But knowing it had to include three of those made green easy.
