“Palette episodes” were a bit of a vague topic, but it quickly became apparent that we were looking for colors.
The TV part came later for me, as I ended up splitting the game in half, getting the colors first and then the second word from the corresponding classic TV show, although I’m not sure if BLUE BLOODS belongs to this esteemed company.
It’s been a while since we’ve had a Strands that mixes the blue and yellow palette and it’s always a strange treat.
