Ok so it’s no longer Monday so can I ask what has ‘Can’ got to do with a bum ? And what have ‘pyjamas’ got to do with a cat
Two of yesterday’s words that I don’t get ?

Nothing whatsoever in my language!

I've only heard of one purple, too.

Think Wimbledon 😁

Yes, if you’ve only heard of one, and if it’s the the one I’m thinking of, it’s probably the same one.😁

A lucky random guess for one of the blues.

Only heard of one of the purples - and it turned out that I wasnt thinking of the same use of that word anyway, so I was looking in vain for a slightly different connection.

The cat's pyjamas is a expression that I had heard.

Like you, never heard 'can' used to mean 'bum'.

Three out of four purple ones I don’t get at all

I couldn't guess purple.

I'm happy enough if folk want to name words, l won't post. Democracy and all that 😀

Well we could talk about it after 12 but as I ve got a memory like a sieve I d have to jot it down

I sometimes check on here when I'm doing it. To see if anyone else has/is struggling. If it's challenging me l often don't do it at once but come back later in the day, so yes naming the words would spoil it for me
When checking comments with my solution, the words match with mine.

Fair enough.

Are we allowed to say the actual words that we didn't get, rather than just their 'position'?
At times, I wonder if we are being shown the solution words in the same order and are talking about the same word when someone says, for instance, that they have never heard of the last purple word/expression, yet that to me is a common expression and it is the third word/expression that I have never heard of.
I am guessing that people rarely read the comments on this thread until they have played, so would it really matter if we reveal the occasional answer?

Me three!

I wish there was an English version

Yes, me too.

I ve heard of green number 1 but never heard of Green number 3 callistemon

I thought number 1 was ill-gotten gains!

I ve heard of three purple but for the life of me don’t understand the last purple one !!!

I think it's a very recent, made-up Americanism. Rubbish!

I'd never heard of 1 and 3 of the green row.

Purple might be what the category claims, but I’ve only heard of one.
