Why the clues pointed to Alex Dunphy
The Show clue was Modern Family, which premiered on ABC and ran from 2009 to 2020. 10 characters in the game come from that show, so a green Show cell cut the field to them in one guess.
The Debut clue was 2009, the year of Alex Dunphy's first episode, "Pilot" (Season 1, Episode 1). Any guess who debuted within three years turned the cell amber, a window that holds 55 characters, and the arrow pointed toward 2009 from either side.
The Network clue was ABC, shared by 37 characters, and the Role clue was Main: credited as main cast for at least one season, true of 209 characters. Put together with the Gender clue (Female), the five colors left very few names, and she was the one that fit every cell.
Alex Dunphy is the smartest kid in the Dunphy house and she knows it. Played by Ariel Winter, she grows from a sharp-tongued tween into an ambitious young scientist over Modern Family's 11 seasons.
