Tried a very scary set of leftovers and got burned. Lucky to survive.

This is for Sunday. New York Times being very New York again.

I seriously doubt more than a literal handful of people in my country have an ice scraper in their glove compartment, if anyone. And I’ve never seen anyone keep gloves there, in any country

I made it, but it was brutal, with both blue and yellow having five potential candidates.

Monday. I just guessed at Green because Purple was a doozy, .

I guessed that purple was starting with state abbreviations so a little right. Also never heard of elision but it was the only one that made sense.

Getting very tired of mixing up yellow and green.

Tuesday’s puzzle. I guessed at Blue, but in retrospect should have figured out Purple.

On Monday, I figured out that all of the purples had to be purples, because they didn’t make any sense any way but wordplay, but I had no idea what the actual connection was.

I agree. Purple was stupid. Also never heard of one of the green terms used in that context.
