Certainly difficult, more by luck (again)

Blue contains an American usage that threw me off at line 2. Otherwise straightforward.

Probably exactly the same mistake as everybody else.

Purple was rather dubious.

Both purple and blue categories were guesses based on word similarity. Not helped by the American usage in purple, which overall I thought was a bit naff.

As everyone has posted I have never heard of a right _____. So I feel a right idiot today.

I'd never heard of a fin _____, but it obviously went with that group.

I hadn't either. I didn't even get that it was whales. I just got the blues as possible adjectives and the purples as nouns. And a spatula doesn't have slots, unless you're American and apparently using a fish slice.

SPOILER

Really? I'd heard of both right whales and fin whales. Slightly put off by the American spelling of "grey".

Purple was poor. I know "slot" is an American contraction of "slot machine" but spatulas are not things I think of as having slots. I suppose they can have.

Are you saying you're surprised at Aruntraveller never having heard of a right whale (I hadn't either), or are you reading his comment as nobody having heard of it, which which could be a reading but isn't here,

I am surprised that neither of you had heard of a right whale.

Fortunate in that I suddenly spotted the green category and it all fell into place after that.

Looked like it was going to be hard at first, but not really a problem.
