I wonder why they thought purple was hardest?

I got yellow and purple immediately, but though I could see the general connection needed for greens, I couldn't narrow it down to just four. Then I suddenly spotted the blue connection, making the fourth green obvious.
I have to say though, the fact that those blues were given in the plural made it a lot less obvious to me!

That might be the first time that I have ever truly 'solved' all four connections, rather than getting the last one because those were the only four words left, so I am feeling quite pleased with myself πŸ˜‚

I thought the first purple meant something else.

Well that was an unexpected game. I got yellow, but for the wrong reason and needed the answer to explain blue.
