How to solve this answer
Names Of
The clues are names, titles, labels, or branded names that the answer shares in a different context.
If the clues are a color, a Greek letter, and a computer line, they may all be names of something the answer also gets called elsewhere. The answer is the shared naming scheme.
Medium
Clues need a second look or a shift in angle. The link is fair, but the first reading of one or two clues usually misleads.
Entertainment
Film, television, music, theater, books, and the vocabulary around them. Clues may drop a title, a role, a format, or a piece of gear from the industry.
Names Of puzzles often use titles (Dr., Dame), product lines, team names, or role labels. When a clue looks like a proper noun or a formal address, this pattern is in play.
Write each clue as it would appear on a name tag. If the tags all hang in the same hallway of language, you have the shape of the answer even before the word arrives.
