#1 Best Overall
Blue: TV-related abbreviations in the ’80s
The category is specifically labeled “TV-RELATED ABBREVIATIONS IN THE ’80s.” ALF, MTV, NES, and VHS are the four entries; the label should not be read as saying that every item is a television network or show.
Purple: MAY __
Add “May” before each word to make a familiar phrase: May Day, Mayflower, Mayfly, and Maypole.
