No default today either, but interesting to see the "yellow, green, yellow, blue" red herring popping up a lot. I thought they were usually one from each colour?

I thought the actual answer was the red herring.

Second row was a category I made up. No help needed today and no default.

no default but I looked at hints following my two incorrect green lines

ETA I’ve realised what the red herring must have been as that was my first thought but then I could see the yellow and green connections too

Tough one. I had an enirely different connection for yellow and was determined to get P not BD - got it eventually (but did not like one of them).
