I could see the purple connection but it was getting the 4th, similar to the blues and yellows - a last lucky guess and I don't get one of the yellows .

5 bloody options for blue & I just couldn't leave it alone. Scraped purple - didn't know one connection at all & didn't know key info for another one.

One of those words in the purple group made no sense to me.

I normally leap to defend the puzzle makers from charges of being too American- it is the NYT after all. But one of today's-really?????

Not happy. I had the purple connection from the start but one of them was so obscure I thought it had to be a red herring.

Purple is very niche. I had to google to find the connection. Should probably have got blue.
