Wow I made hard work of that, straight in with the red herring! I only knew two yellow and got fixated on those instead of trying purple 😂

Went in too quickly but was OK after that. A lot of crossover words I thought.

Needed hints for that, and once I’d got help with purples, the correct yellows fell into place. I hadn’t heard of one of them .
