I thought yellow had to do something about what you find in a shop....

Twelve donuts? Okay but I think that is mostly an american thing. Just like juror and inch. Inch can be forgiven but the other 2 not so much.The only purple one I associate with dog would be tags.
I really should stop playing connections when I am under the weather.

Doughnut didnβt occur to me at first, but when I found out clock was wrong it was fairly obvious doughnut would be right since itβs a bread-y product and bread is famously sold by the dozen (hence the phrase "bakerβs dozen").Inches in a foot is imperial units, which Iβve never used, but unlike most of the other imperial measures, itβs a very basic bit of trivial knowledge to know there are 12. Itβs something I would expect people to know even if they donβt know how many yards in a mile or ounces in a pound.
12 jurors is not unique to the US. Itβs what we use here in Australia too, and quick googling tells me so does the UK, Canada, NZ, and Ireland, 100% of the countries I tried searching. It seems to be the accepted standard in legal systems based in the system of Common Law.
Dog days I know of as "the dog days of summer", a phrase I would never actually use myself but which I believe refers to the hottest and most humid part of summer. Dog paddle Iβm guessing is an American term for what I would call doggy paddle; an unskilled form of swimming with your head above water and legs down. Dog tired is an expression that, again, I wouldnβt really use myself, but it just means "very tired".
Spoils of war
Yeah as I said I can excuse the inches because that is fairly common knowledge. But honestly I don't recall ever buying something by an actual dozen in a bakery.Jurors
Afaik this is how jury duty works where I live so yeah...Sodniki porotniki v kazenskem postopku
Kadar gre za kazniva dejanja, za katera je zagroΕΎena kazen zapora do 15 let, je senat sestavljen iz treh Δlanov, in sicer enega poklicnega sodnika in dveh sodnikov porotnikov.
Kadar gre za teΕΎja kazniva dejanja, za katera je zagroΕΎena kazen zapora 15 let in veΔ, pa sodi veliki senat, ki ga sestavlja pet Δlanov, in sicer dva poklicna sodnika in trije sodniki porotniki.
Judges and jurors in criminal proceedings
In the case of crimes punishable by imprisonment of up to 15 years, the panel consists of three members, namely one professional judge and two lay judges.
When it comes to more serious crimes, which are punishable by a prison sentence of 15 years or more, the trial is conducted by a grand panel consisting of five members, namely two professional judges and three lay judges.
Yeah there's a reason I specifically said in Common Law jurisdictions. The nature of the law is too different in Civil Law to be able to compare the two. (I actually looked up Slovenian law just in case it was a common law system, but didn't go further once I learnt it was not.)

Really tough one.

I spent ages trying to make something with words that are both nouns and verbs work. Register, notice, tag, catch, paddle. I was also shocked that lock wasnβt in the 12 category, but it wasnβt too hard to work out that doughnut should be.Connections

Too America-centric for me today
I didn't find it very American at all today.
Spoiler
As an American I would say the 12 jurors and the dozen donuts would be considered Canadian and American. (Canada also has 12 Jurors and commonly sells donuts by the dozen) But I have done no research in the judicial systems (except Mexico, they have no jury trials ) or common donut sale practices in other countries.Spoilers
I had a broader look and it seems like jurors come in 12s in most, if not all, common law jurisdictions. It was 12 in all 6 of the countries I looked into, anyway.Doughnuts in my experience come in whatever size package you want. 1, 4, or 6 are common, but 12 probably is too. To me it was easy enough to reason it out because it's a bread-like product and bread famously comes in dozens.

Do you ever notice that sometimes the puzzles have a fifth pseudo-category, which almost serves like a theme of the puzzle, but in truth each entry is actually part of the other categories? I had that in my first row. What is your strategy to avoid getting this?
No, I've never noticed that. I have once or twice noticed a fifth oseudo-category with one from each of the other categories, but I've never noticed that it serves as the puzzle theme. (And even more commonly there are distraction categories that are made up of only 2 or 3 other categories.)
My strategy to avoiding it is to try and solve the whole puzzle before entering any results. There are often distraction categories, but there's only ever one way to get 4 groups of 4. (I've seen people claim otherwise, but they've never shown me an example.) Using Connections Copilot is a good way to help with that.
