No chance with blue; saw a couple of purple, but didn't twig what it was exactly. Went down a room path (RED, CHEAP, TWIN....)

Was still thinking about the pear and its homophone group when I saw purple. It was Cheap that I saw as peach and then just had to look again for the others. Suspected Wiki as I just couldn’t fit it elsewhere.

Blue was lucky leftovers as I’d never have gotten that.
