I actually recognized three of the purple ones first but strongly suspected a red herring.

This one was hard, I had to cheat a lot with incognito.

That lets you rearrange and color code the board before you put your answers in the game

That is awesome, was really wanting the ability to rearrange, thank you!

Restart the game with full guesses. Cheating, but I like to get to the answer, even if it takes more guesses.

I think me being old helped today.

I feel like I could have maybe gotten this one if I had been patient :(((((((( it would have been really cool to get such a hard one

I definitely could have at least gotten green and yellow, I had considered very close catagories and just got wrapped up in guessing at red herrings, or categores with more than four possible answers. Blue and purple would have been rough regardless

SpoilerEdit: Nah on second look I don't think I'd have found the last two. I don't know movies well enough to get purple and I've never heard of that palindrome, and that's the sort of thing no amount of searching all meanings or browsing Wikipedia disambiguation pages is going to help you turn up.

Maybe I could have gotten the movies that way πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ I at least know the movie Brazil.

SpoilersI stood no chance with blue, I don't know any English palindromes.

Purple though, I was constantly thinking "Brazil? The 1985 dystopian comedy? Surely not." Could've checked the other words for movie titles, didn't recognize them as such.

SpoilerDid they just call Porcelain "China" I'm so done with the NYT lmao

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

That's a pretty common thing in English. Not even just American English.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

If you don't mind my asking, what part of the world are you from? Here in the US it's ubiquitous to refer to the nice porcelain plates as china, or fine china (culturally its commonly thought of as something your grandma has, either for special occasions or decoration, but that you never actually eat off of them, something younger folks might occasionally poke fun at)

Being from the US I took for granted that's a common meaning for the term, and it's always cool to learn about how language varies from one area to another!


From Wikipedia:

Porcelain (/ˈpɔːrs(Ι™)lΙͺn/), also called china, is a ceramic material made by heating raw materials, generally including kaolinite, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 and 1,400 Β°C (2,200 and 2,600 Β°F). The greater strength and translucence of porcelain, relative to other types of pottery, arise mainly from vitrification and the formation of the mineral mullite within the body at these high temperatures.
...
Porcelain is also referred to as "china" or fine china in some English-speaking countries, as it was first seen in imports from China during the 17th century


From Mariam Webster:

China:

  1. porcelain
    also : vitreous porcelain wares (such as dishes, vases, or ornaments) for domestic use
  2. earthenware or porcelain tableware

"Bone china" is also the name for a specific type of porcelain made with bone ash, but that type originates from Britain as a way of competing with imported porcelain. Nifty that you can see Britain's historical usage of "china" to refer to porcelain reflected in the way they named the type of porcelain they concieved!

I wonder if it was already ubiquitous there and the name is a reflection of that, or if maybe folks at the time used both, and someone's choice to name bone china as they did could have solidified "china"'s usage in that way in parts of the English speaking world. The former seems like a simpler explanation but it's fun to think about :)

Hey, thank you so much for all these details !

I come from Europe, in the general area around Limoges, France, where they had a pretty big Porcelain industry towards the late 18th century, I tried to find an article in English about it https://www.bbc.com/storyworks/stories-of-craft/the-storied-past-and-present-of-limoges-porcelain
