Blues seemed to go together but I didn’t actually have their connection.

What was that? I could see 3 of the yellows ( after googling one word) but would never have got the 4th.
The rest make no sense to me at all!

awful today. A moment of inspiration on purple saved me. Green is tenuous at best. So many possibilities for yellow, I assumed the most obscure would be in there, which helped a bit. Good luck if you haven’t spent time in the US 🙂.

Glad I’m not the only one who struggled today!

I got lucky today but I could so easily have fallen down the cracks -commiserations to everyone who struggled with the stupid yellow and this ridiculous green today. The only one I understood was blue, I got purple after seeing a huge clue, yellow and green PFFFFFFFFF

Yellow & green were lucky guesses. Never heard of some of these before.

That required both hints and google. Well done to anyone who got yellow and green without help.

The blues lulled me into thinking this was going to be easy. Of course I googled yellow and the rest fell vaguely into place.

Like yesterday, googling one word gave me green, otherwise I would never have got it. Guessed the category for yellow but couldn’t get the fourth one. Silly today.

Well once I'd brushed myself off after falling for the red herring, I thought that was quite straightforward 😎
