    purple

    I’ve never heard of Sub meaning hero. I think I just got lucky guesses on the rest after yellow

      I couldn’t get purple either

      It bothers me when a word from the category is in the answers. Maybe that’s just a holdover from doing crosswords where having part of the answer be in the clue is frowned on. A long sandwich is referred to by various names and spellings in different regions, including sub/submarine, hero/gyro/yiro, grinder, hoagie, etc. Maybe you just hadn’t seen that spelling before

        I don’t think I’ve ever seen a sub (in the sandwich sense) referred to as a hero in the UK. If I’m reading that right. But then we generally don’t use sub for sandwiches either. Thanks for the explanation

    That took about 30 seconds, which usually means I narrowly missed a red herring…
