Why the clues pointed to Shirley Bennett

The Show clue was Community, which premiered on NBC and ran from 2009 to 2015. 9 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 Shirley Bennett'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 NBC, shared by 111 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.

Shirley Bennett is the study group's devoted Christian mom, a sweet-voiced baker with a temper she works hard to keep in check. Played by Yvette Nicole Brown, she comes to Greendale hoping to launch a brownie business and ends up co-owning a sandwich shop.
