Flukey. Also hadn't heard of two of the greens and got purple by inspired guesswork more than anything.

Should have seen blue but didn't

Got there in the end, after giving up trying to get yellow, where II could see the link but not find all the items. I'd never heard of one of the blues - must be an Americanism.

Have to admit that I got blue by fluke. I had a different category in mind, guessed a couple and just happened to get them right. However, when the category was revealed, I had heard of them all.

And none of them would seem to me to be an Americanism.

Easy today.

Spoiler: one of my group on my skiing holiday was very much an advocate of yoga for our after ski stretching.

Ho-hum.
With purple, I could see the link, but thought that one of them was much too British for the NYT, However, they must have been thinking of something else, because it was correct.

They must have meant this:

and not this, which I had in mind!
