Perfect!

It took a bit of head scratching to suss the greens* and I admit I didn't spot the connection on the purples* before I hit submit, but then I didn't need to.

*is this game colour-blind friendly?

I'm 7 for 7 on this one. I wouldn't have got the purples if they hadn't been all that was left, IYSWIM.

I couldn’t get the green connection even when I knew they were all that were left.

I worked out the connection but one of them I’m not familiar with in that sense. Dictionary says it’s an American usage. Fair enough.

My excuse your honour is that I worked out some of the other groups first. Honest!

What is the significance of the different colours?

Ah ... yellow is supposed to be "easy". That's why I couldn't do it until it was all that was left.

That was very tricky. Took ages today, and bit of luck methinks.
