I missed playing for a couple of days.

I used Companion toddy as I didn’t want to fail.

Not heard of one of the yellows in that sense.

My blue connection was less specific than theirs, and like others, I hadn’t come across the 4th one before.

Struggled to untangle the greens and yellows today (in the NYT comments section I think they call that 'grellows')
