SPOILERS


Given all the usual suspects have had a go, purple jumped out at me because of woodchuck. As soon as I saw that, I was thinking tongue twisters, and seashells and peppers appeared. I struggled for a little while because I wasn't sure if the NYT would use the tongue twister I know for fuzzy, which is more of a spoonerism. And i suspect they didn't as there is another one of which I was unaware.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t really fuzzy,
Was he?

That doesn't really seem like a tongue twister. It's certainly not as good as the fuzzy duck one which I can't recite in public.

I had a great category for the third one, unfortunately, seven of the eight words fitted into it.

Green and yellow were easy, but with blue and purple I was guessing.

Blue was interesting because it works in America and Britain but in a different way.
