Two purples make little sense to me, which made green tricky.

When I first laid eyes on the grid I was a bit 🤔

it all came together in the end

2 of the purple connections mean nothing to me.

Blue was a complete guess which led to purple being default as per usual.

Default blue for me. Although one of the purples was just a stab in the dark because I was one away x2 and nothing else made sense.

Left the purples unsubmitted to try & figure it out & gave up. Just wouldn't have got that link & am about to Google one of them.

I'm not sure if purple works better for Americans. I had to Google one of the words after reading the link because it made no sense, and two of the others were phrases I would rarely use.
