No research needed. Got the purples and greens straight away, had to think about the yellows and blues a bit and make educated guesses. Never heard of two of the blues but have owned the other two.

Had to think a little about these. Blue and yellow easy though.

The blues were tricky today - the connection was obvious but it was only when I saw the purples that I knew which red herring to eliminate. It looks like you made the same mistake as me!

My error with the blue category gave me the clue I needed for the purple.

As a retired angler, I take issue with that group: three of them are items of fishing tackle. "Tackle" is the collective noun for anything technical you might need for the purpose of angling.

I used the same reasoning for my first guess at that group.

Me too. I agree with Wowbagger 😳

Yellow was easy, but until I got purple, green was always going to be a guess. TBH I didn’t get blue until it told me. 😩

The green seemed too obvious. Thought it was a trap.

It obviously helps if you’re USAian for the blue. Didn’t get it at all.

Blue is very USA specific.

I had no idea what the blue ones were.

Failed today. This is one puzzle when having what is normally a great advantage suddenly becomes a handicap.

Unsurprisingly I didn’t get the purple.

Never heard of any of the last two groups. Trial and error. See comment 46.

I knew the blue, not the purple.
