I made a right pig's ear of yellow. At least I'm in good company

@BlueEyedBogWitch I know what you mean, but then I thought of another American term that means it does actually work.
It's not the meaning you're thinking of, but because they are close it's easy to interpret it that way.

I had to google one of the blues. Purple remains a mystery.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who struggled so much with yellow yesterday. Definitely in good company!

Today P def BD. And blue was a complete guess.

PBD, otherwise ok.

About yesterday's purple - th contentious one was Hock as a homophone for Selling.

It wasn't hock as we'd understand it in the UK, as in take to a pawnshop.

It was Hawk, as in 'to hawk your wares' or a trader being called a Hawker. In most American accents, hock and hawk sound the same.

No default today but my spotting purple was definitely helped by being on the other side of the Atlantic to most of you 😁
