I've got green and yellow too, but stumped on the others.

Back to staring at it πŸ˜ƒ
Should've asked DD when she phoned.

What a relief! An easier set, but I still don’t get one of the yellows.

I don't get the first blue one nor the last purple one.

Have you noticed with British TV quiz programmes, so many of the questions are about American sport?

Was the yellow one you don't get the one with something that can do what is stated (as can we humans), but really isn't in the same league as the other three when it comes to doing it?

Those are the ones I don’t understand Callistemon
First blue, last Purple

Oh yes - that is quite confusing! I had read the earlier post pointing that out, but forgotten about it again when I last posted!

A-maz-ing!

However, I had to look up the last word in the yellow line. It's slang used in some circles.

Glad you mentioned that Callistemon21. It puzzled me, as do most words in #287 blue.

I'm staring at it, perplexed.
Might have to have another β˜•
