Green was an entirely different connection for me. I googled a blue. P was BD. There, that's my full disclosure. Otherwise this would have been a solid DNF.

Commiserations to everybody who has lost their streak today! This puzzle was difficult and it only had a 2 out of 5 difficulty level apparently. I needed clues

I had sort of worked out green, blue and yellow before I hit anything, and was trying to work out purple, but then DH got involved..

No hints or Googling and I worked out the connection for purple before hitting reveal, but was convinced I was going to be wrong because I didn't see how the 4th word could fit into that category...

No way was this only a 2 out of 5 difficulty today @thinky - they must have made a typo! 😀

I looked at this first thing and was utterly flummoxed so abandoned it. Then got the first three quite quickly just now. Purple by default and one of the words doesn't make sense to me. But I'll take the win 😁

@WinterFrogs , the purple you probably don't get is a sandwich

Thank you @CountingCrones google tells me you are right 😊

I needed a bit of googling for that in respect of green, and I didn’t understand one of the purples. Assume it’s as @CountingCrones has said.

CountingCrones · 05/03/2026 19:47

@ABeerInTheSunshineMakesMeHappy - that's a good assumption as I a always right.

As I regularly tell my offspring.
