With that, the green category was served up on a silver platter and the game was won. Yellow category, consider yourself swept up.Īnd for the final act, I saw the final words were the elemental forces of culinary alchemy, the four words that made up the title of Samin Nosrat's best-selling 2017 cookbook Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. That left Broom, Sponge, Mop, Rag, gleaming in their simplicity, the unsung champions of cleanliness. Sure enough, my hay fever hunch has been spot on-the blue category was a wrap. My confidence bloomed like springtime flora, and I circled back to my sniffly suspects. □ Titular fictional detectives: Magnum, Monk, Shaft, Tracy.□ Things that make you sneeze: Dust, Pepper, Pollen, Smoke.□ Elements of cooking, per Samin Nosrat: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.□ Cleaning supplies: Broom, Mop, Rag, Sponge.Could it be? Dick Tracy, Magnum P.I., Monk, and Shaft? These are all TV detectives! I'd cracked the case wide open and the purple category was my first correct find today. There, lurking mysteriously in the shadows, was Tracy, a clue leading me down a dark alley of names.
