I got 2 lines but then no matter how I tried couldn't resolve the last two lines. I was helped considerssbly in one category by owning all the mentioned articles.

Edit: So after I just tried different combinations for some time I solved it but still can't see the connections clearly. Only one line had the general description so that you know what category it is.

I thought you might own them.

I think mine is more Only Connect than NYT, and I may drop the difficulty for the next one.

Ah, think I may have to save it at a later point, and it doesn't appear to let me edit it. I'll leave it for any others to try and then detail the other categories.

Now that those doing this have all commented, the 'missing link' is Olympics men's 100m champions. I had started with that and put one each in the others, Paddock, Bailey, Wells. I had thought about doing an English writers one as well but couln't see a way of making it specific enough.

I had thought that Bolt would stand out without ever thinking of Robert Bolt. I've been experimenting with how to construct them, and I think this would still work if the base starting one - the 100m winners in this case, is by far the most obvious, and attracts the first guesses.

Hence why here, not seeing it makes the others easy, and it by elimination.

Hence why here, not seeing it makes the others easy, and it by elimination.

The trouble is that I saw "Greene" and immediately thought of Graham Greene. CS Lewis then fell into place and Robert Bolt followed a few minutes later. As I only had three, I left that category and did purple and orange and then I had eight things left and Crawford seemed the best option to join the "writers".

I think this is an excellent example of confirmation bias. I formed a hypothesis ("writers") and then made the clues fit.

You mean there isn't....?

4.50 from Paddington was the first Christie book I ever read. It's always been my favourite, although I think The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is her masterpiece.

One of the yellows is definitely not an onomatopoeia. It doesn't make a sound at all.

Also I'm dubious about one the greens - I think it has an extra letter - unless there's an acronym I don't know about.

I think everyone's had a go that is likely to, so we can discuss it.  A gargoyle is (or was originally) a decorated water-spout, and the name is imitative of water in a pipe, like "gurgle". A carved grotesque head that isn't a spout is called a "grotesque", though admittedly, as NS says, the meaning of gargoyle has widened in popular usage to cover grotesques as well.
Which green are you dubious about?

Cobra. There's definitely COBR but I'm not aware of COBRA being an acronym. Also, I don't know what forest is an acronym of, but I'm willing to concede it might be one.

Also back to yellow, does screech qualify? It's not an object that is named for the sound it makes, it is a sound.

It's imitative of a sound, so it's onomatapoeic.
COBRA is the government's emergency management body, and is an acronym, according to which source you believe, of 'Cabinet Office Briefing Room A', or just 'Cabinet Office Briefing Room', with the A added to make a word. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/cobr-cobra FOREST is the Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco.

Yes, I thought it was just COBR, pronounced "cobra". Still an acronym, but not what was in your puzzle.
