    I really struggled today. Been looking at it on and off all day and just finally got it at nearly 6pm. Found yellow really easily, and found the idea of green quickly too, but had 5 in there.

    Spoilers

    In fact, I had 4 in green until a late realisation that “carpentry” could go in there as well. Then spent ages before I figured out purple. Took some Googling to verify that “alligator” was more likely the name of the clips in America, because the exact same clip is also called a crocodile clip.

    Unfortunately in some Googling I stumbled across a snippet where someone said that swoosh and crocodile were logos, which made blue easy to get, and from there I could lock in the rest pretty easily.
