      Tbh I’m still stuck doing today’s. My current thought is

      possible spoilers

      Grinder beans water filter, things needed to make coffee.

      Melt wrap club, sandwich types. But I can’t find the fourth one, so I think this may be a red herring.

      Ante pony cough settle, _____ up. Settle feels a little off though, so maybe not.

      And I just have no idea about a fourth category.

    Today really was not that nice.

    blue

    Knew it had to be ____ up but never heard of ante up.

    Types of sandwiches?? Huh. What is a melt?

    Purple like often was just not going to be guessed by me. Like Zagorath said did not know P!NK is spelled like that. Airplane also had a different title where I live and it ends with a ?. Had no idea jeopardy has ! At the end and thought yahoo mihht be for the search engine at first.

      Interesting, what was Airplane called where you are?

      Yahoo was the search engine. It’s “Yahoo!” That was the only one I actually strongly recognised as having an exclamation mark.

      Ante up is mainly a thing from card games like poker.

      A melt is a toasted sandwich made with melted cheese. You might talk about a ham and cheese melt, for example. Or Subway sells a Meatball Melt sub.

        This one was really frustrating for me because there were 5 that could definitely be sandwich names: grinder, melt, wrap, club, and hero. I also didn’t get the exclamation point because I forgot Airplane and Jeopardy had them, so I was trying to put those two together because they’re movies/tv, but then of course Pink and Yahoo didn’t fit. I suppose if I’d extended the group to “media” I could’ve gotten it for the wrong reason (tv, movie, net company, and singer).

        Airplane was called “Ali je pilot v letalu?” meaning “Is the pilot on the plane?”.

        Just goes to show I do not know sandwich names and have never been to a Subway. If you asked me to name you a sandwich I would probably blank out and just not say anything.

          I spent way too long trying to make that title work as a French sentence before realising it was not French! Blame the “je”.

              Google’s “detect language” option told me Slovenian, but it’s such a short snippet it could probably also be Croatian or some other Western South Slavic language…or maybe even an Eastern South Slavic language.

                It is Slovenian. I agree the snippet is short but the sentence structure is a bit different from croatian or serbian. The sentence in those languages would probably start with je and replace the v with a u. They also afaik use avion instead of letalo. As well as the word ali bein used in a different context.

                So the sentence would be somethin like “Je li pilout u avionu?”. Any natives feel free to correct me my serbian is not that good.

                  Ah fair. I just guessed that the shorter and more grammatically basic the sentence is, the higher the likelihood that it’ll be nearly identical in closely related languages.

    I honestly couldn’t figure out which color every category but purple would be lol. Purple feels like it would be difficult for non-Americans and maybe for younger folk.

      Having finished now, my take on purple is

      spoilers

      Yahoo! was an obvious one. I had no idea that P!NK is normally written that way, but I put that down to my own disinterest in popular music. Jeopardy! and Airplane! were more surprising, since the latter had an alternative title here in Australia (Flying High!), and both are most often written without the exclamation mark. I’ve seen a little Jeopardy, but not a huge amount since it’s an American show that never really seems to have been exported overseas. Definitely difficult for non-Americans, but I was actually more offended by the “hero” lunch food.

    Purple was tough, but fair. Yellow made use of one term I’ve never heard, and doesn’t even have solid results (though it does have enough results to have been able to confirm it) when I google it. Wasn’t a huge fan of one of the blues either, which seems to be a chiefly American phrase. 4/5 reasonableness.
