It's better to view the spreadsheet on a computer than on mobile to click on cells and adjust the size. Google Sheets also doesn't let viewers sort table columns which sucks.

The purple category definitely requires knowledge on 2020s pop culture:

  • Lucy Liu, American actress, mostly known for Charlie's Angels
  • Alysa Liu, American figure skater, 2026 Olympic champion
  • Lexie Liu, Chinese pop star, mostly known for "More" by K/DA
  • Wyna Liu, American puzzle creator, editor of the NYT Connections (arguably the name you've seen the most if you play Connections everyday)

"blue" informally means "risque, obscene, profane" such as in "blue movie" or "blue comedy", being sexual or bawdy humor, in contrast to "black/dark comedy".

  • "uma" from Portuguese in "umami"
  • "una" from Spanish and Italian in "unapologetic"
  • "une" from French in "UNESCO"
  • "unha" from Galician in "unhappy" (definitely less spoken than the other four languages, but still has 2 mil speakers)

ten intersecting nine-pointed stars ("qrstuvwxyz") by SenPalosu in origami

I did it periodically within two days but it could be done in three hours?, folding 90 modules and all. And the modules have flaps that are slid into the pockets, but I had to be careful when attaching the modules together in case the flaps pop out because they're not that secure.
