“Orange door hinge”



I guess I'm an outlier on Strands.

Spoiler!

The first thing I did on reading the odd phrase starting with "orange" was look for some version of "rhyme", then tried to figure out what came before it. I was mostly looking for a negation - something like "does not" or "cannot" - but once I saw "color", the spangram broke things up nicely so that I could sort out the actual rhymes. In short, perhaps I just got lucky.

Yeah, "Orange door hinge" was a terrible clue/title because

Spoiler!

The word "orange" is famous for not having a rhyme. I was looking for something like NEAR RHYMES as the Spangram. They should've given it an easier title like "Beige page", or if they really wanted to stick to the theme, "Jack and Dwight".

I guess you’ll crush purple per pupil, too?

Oh, holy moly, that's the connection. Yeah, my wheelhouse goes nowhere near that one.

Seems like a par 3, and maybe a short par 3 at that.

Got a bit lucky here. I had no clue on blue (which is surprising for me), and didn't see purple until I just took a guess, and then realized what was going on.

I got the spanagram first as well....I'm ashamed I got down to the last one and had to start looking up different flowers to figure it out. I got a bone to pick about the bottom right one...since it's a part of the family in the top right. That's just me.
