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.

Can't even get started on that one.

I created a new one on the same theme that satisfies my OCD better.

Whatever the theme is, it's obviously one I'm not familiar with.

I got there in the end. I knew the categories, just couldn't sort them. I don't pay attention to the smaller things in life.

I'm a bit dubious about one of the yellows. I know the logic but I think the day to day meaning has moved and so moved it out of the category.

You got purple first and one of the clues was "turtle". The Purple Turtle is a bar in Reading.

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?

I see. No. I just went with what sounded like a good rhyming possibility. As far as I can recall I have never been to Reading.
