Never would have gotten purple if not for the leftovers.

Spoilers

Also wouldn't have gotten the rest out without some verbal hints.

I didn't know Sagittarius was an archer, so I had "Queen" in that place, for Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow. Though I thought that was probably a bit too much of a stretch to be right. Also looked up Jenny and Shannon, both of which names have someone notable (but not super famous) named Archer.

And of course I had Cupid, Vixen, Rudolph and Comet down as reindeers at one point.

Never heard of any of the SNL cast apart from Tina Fey.

Queen as a female animal seems a stretch to me. Queen isn't a general term for a female bee like the other terms are general terms for females of their animals.

Overall I rate this a 3/5 for how reasonable and accessible the connections were.

Spoiler

A queen is an unspayed female cat.

Yeah not the best one today honestly.

Lucky me

I avoided the reindeer by seeing the celestial objects first. Then trying to go for them but realising that comet is used that cannot be it.

Saggitarius being an archer clicked after getting the other 3 archers.

I honestly cheated a bit for the animals because well....

Yeah purple would never be guessed by me. I don't know a single SNL person.

I got green off the bat, but purple and blue ouch! I figured out purple but there were 5 possible choices and I had to guess because I still don’t get blue.
