Got green and yellow, then googled one thing, which didn’t help. Got purple, but had a different possible category. BBD.

spotting purple got me out of the problem of the five things that fitted green. Otherwise it was straightforward.

Tough. As you can see! Didn’t get one of the purples really but tried it and it worked.

Thought it was going to be another fail. Lots of overlap I thought. PBD

Too many possibilities for blue for me. And purple? Only got 3.

Silly mistake in line 2. Other than that, a quick solve today. PBD - never heard of the second one!
