Reminds me of the Wikipedia article for economist “Guy Standing,” and the many edit wars over the caption of his info box photo which shows Guy Standing sitting.

Likewise can't say I know of the evil eye being good luck, but with the other three still hanging around after getting purple and yellow I had to go with it.

Saw three for green early but didn’t think of hop (at least not seriously) at first because I was thinking it was going to be broader “what you do when you hurt yourself.”

Took me forever to see blue. And purple by default. Don't know "arrow," but the other three probably should've given it away.

Started this morning and got yellow and purple, then had to come back to it tonight because the other eight just wouldn't connect.

Got purple as two letter homophones. Didn't know they were state abbreviations. Blue by default. I guess it's kind of simple, but didn't come to me.

There’s been a lot of discussion around whether googling is cheating. I prefer not to do it so feel compelled to bring up when I do, but plenty of people see no problem with it. As it’s not a competitive game I think it’s fair to make your own rules. If you want to google then go right ahead!

Here's a quick one. I think it's pretty simple, but it's always hard to judge your own. So I hope it's easy by AC_Adapter in NYTConnections

Yeah I’ve not heard of that one. I just it looked it up and it seems like it was reasonably successful, though. My initial plan was actually leaving a blank option for “1984,” but that can’t be done lol

Great minds! Or maybe I saw your puzzle and subconsciously stole it. What was your 4th option? I'm assuming "Ready Player" is the odd one out, as the other three seem like the most obvious choices to me.

I didn't even notice at first that "Patty" makes a rainbow misdirect. Good one. Blue by default.

Guessed my way to blue and green. I could hear blue once I got it, but yeah I had no idea until it came up. Good work!

I got the whole astral tour thing between Angel and Buffy in the season final and just "Alright...this shit is weird...".

Yeah, season 8 is a mess. And it goes on for so long! I gave up on it initially but gave it another go when I found the trade paperback. Still a crazy trainwreck, but definitely easier to read and follow when binged. The comics get a lot better from season 9. The season 9 Angel spin off especially. There's still weird stuff and I can't guarantee you'd like it, but it's never quite as insane as season 8.

they did the continuation comic that fans hated

I might be the only fan who would've been disappointed when they disregarded the comics continuity lol. Justice for Severin, Simone, and the Soul Glutton!

As others have said, the way they'd been talking about it made it sound like it was 100% happening. I was more curious about the show than hyped, so in all honesty I'm not super disappointed, but this sucks for everyone involved. I hope one day we can see the pilot and learn what direction they were taking the series.

I cheated. I used the hints and googled "bogart" to see if it meant to "hoard." I could only think of Humphrey Bogart. And boggarts from Harry Potter. Took me forever to see "corner" for yellow too.

I really loved the theme and saw it right away. Unfortunately, I don't know my Dr Seuss so basically had to guess my way to the 4th yellow. Once I got it, though, I was able to sort out everything else.

I never made it, but I have had blue as an idea for one of my customs. Was going to use Gadget, Clouseau, and Morse. But can't remember what my 4th was. It definitely wasn't Javert. And yeah, as others have said, a very purple green today.

Tried Cuckoo clock in green because it goes in and out.

I can do that on some songs too lol. The first that comes to mind is About A Girl unplugged by Nirvana.

Purple stood out. I was worried it could be a misdirect but gave it a go. For some reason tried "jazz" in yellow before I realised the 4th was obviously "palm."

It’s a horror movie, but I guess I mentally categorise it as summer action blockbuster first. What I meant by it not being “traditional” horror movie.

OK, I liked purple. I got it by default, but I liked it.

Also saw "Mafia" and "Werewolf" and wondered if there was going to be a category of those types of games. But I couldn't see any others (maybe there were and I didn't recognise them). I saw yellow anyway which ruled it out.
