This is my first perfect solve since I saw this game here a few days ago.

I almost started with green but then yellow stuck out to me. So I did yellow then green. I had been getting tripped up by the compound word ones I tried in the archive so I was pretty ecstatic when I noticed the purple solution. Blue I had no idea, in my head I was thinking “things” as I submitted. I was probably only one word from being entirely thrown off course but I’m thankful for bringing this game to my attention. I can only regularly solve Monday and Tuesday crosswords and don’t seem to get any better so I’ve really enjoyed this addition. Thank you Op and the community.
