Spoiler Blue
Blue was very America-centric. I've heard of one of those American unis for sure, maybe 2. Definitely never would have pieced together the last 2.A lot of these are very American centric, which sometimes upsets me because I lack the culture to properly make a guess, but it's the NYT so I can't blame them
The ones that bother me the most are when the America-centrism makes it not just difficult to get for non-Americans, but literally impossible. Like todayβs relied on knowledge about some American companies. But there have often been other puzzles that relied on you pronouncing a word with an American accent to realise a homophone or rhyme or something. Those are the ones that really bother me.
Yeah there's also the ones that are just a bit too far fetched for my taste, like earlier this week it was something like "words without the [??] sound at the end" like I'm supposed to make a connection through elimination of meaning now ?
