Knew what the yellow connection was just took awhile for the last one to click!

Ooooo yellow & green pissed me off. Yellow for the default. Wouldn't cross my mind to use one of those the way they have in Green

Not too bad today, other than I had to leave yellow for last because I saw the connection but only knew 3 of the 4.

I found that easier than expected at first glance . One of the yellows was a surprise .

Pff, I was stuck for ages and thinking along the wrong lines. Came back later and rushed the last 2 guesses having no more ideas. Was a bit thrown by today's grid.

I found yellow and green ok but struggled with the rest.

Thought the blues required a more American thought pattern and didn't like the purples (which were by default)

Purple & blues were confusing. Agree it was rather American

I don't mean to be snappish- but those who are complaining about it being American- isn't the New York Times a bit of a clue?

First two rows were easy, blue was more a lucky guess than anything. It was quite American, not a complaint, just an excuse as to how hard I found it!
