Going to have to start trying to fit this in earlier in my day. Being GMT-8hrs means I'm always one puzzle behind everyone else on here for any discussion. (I didn't get the 4th purple reference either.)

How did you guys get this?? I’m getting a bit fed up this week.. normally if I don’t get it I see the answer and it all makes sense but this week I see the answers and realise I was never going to get it because I’m not American.

I knew 2 of the blue and just got lucky with my 2 other guesses (they looked like they might be same). Purple- not a chance

I had to use a hint as even google couldn’t help me 😆

I kept misreading one of the greens as a different pronunciation entirely.

Well that was a disaster.

Glad I’m not the only one who struggled today. Even hints and Google didn’t help much. Not helped by the fact I fixated on one word being something totally different to what it was.

Apparently today's was a 3.2 and yesterday's was a 4!

I actually thought of the purple link, then couldn’t see it, I knew what blue was but only recognised two of them and scrambled the other two somehow.

Once I'd spotted the purple link I was then able to guess the 4th green, never would've spotted blue as not at all in my realm of interest/knowledge. Feel like my love of OC, UC and all things quiz helped with purple!

Knew what kind of group purple was but couldn't see it amongst the noise

Blue - not a chance

Glad I'm not alone today. For goodness sake!

Spotted blue instantly because it relates to a topic of particular interest for me. Yellow was easy. Green took me ages because I was mispronouncing one of the words and that threw me off. Purple totally by default. Would never have got that connection.

Complete fail for me today - should have got green (was looking at one word with a completely different pronunciation and meaning) but blue and purple - no chance .
