I’m surprised purple was purple - seemed the easiest connection.

Struggled to untangle the greens and yellows today (in the NYT comments section I think they call that 'grellows')

I think one of the blues isn’t as well known in the uk.

My blue connection was less specific than theirs, and like others, I hadn’t come across the 4th one before.

I missed playing for a couple of days.

I used Companion toddy as I didn’t want to fail.

Not heard of one of the yellows in that sense.
