Well after seeing the answer now - there were two words in both the blue and the purple that I either hadn't heard of, or wouldn't use in that context.

I got the green and yellow then got so stuck that I looked at hints. Then still got it wrong! 😬1 purple answer made sense for the blues. Breaking confused me as well.
