Was trying to figure out why Mum was the British spelling and put it with purple. Oh well.

I had nothing. Almost nothing, I thought of purple, but didn't feel too strong for that connection. I kind of had yellow, but not exactly.

  • 🟨 – mum??!
    Originally I thought about phrases that mean keeping secrets: keep quiet, keep a secret, keep it private, keep it in. Tried keep out as well, thinking of prases that involve the word keep.
  • 🟩 – fuck right off, never would have guessed that;
    For this I caught the red herring, mother, mum, ma and mary (you know, christianity).
  • 🟦 – same as above, way too american;
    For this I tried phrases involving play: fair play, foul play, ball play, bed play (don't know, just a guess, felt good enough).
  • 🟪 – queen mary?
    My guess it's a religious term, don't really encounter this particular one much so it didn't ring any bells. Managed to connect the other 3. :::

Purple was the obvious one today.

NYT not a British paper, apparently.

Saw blue and yellow right off the bat but couldn't see the others, so I thought I must have had them wrong. Tried something different, and when that didn't work I tried the ones I saw in the first place.
