Thanks for new thread @ThePoshUns!

I got green quite quickly and then resorted to hints and still didn’t manage to get it! Think my hints were a bit rubbish!

I knew what purple was but I couldn't get the fourth. Should really have said them in my head to get the fourth, as soon as I saw it I was 🙄. Or I should have left purple instead of getting fixated 🤣

I did get purple before I clicked it in but honestly the yellow? That 4th word I've never heard used in that way

Thanks for the new thread.

Took a while to get it this morning

Thanks for new thread. Today's was one of those days where I had to leave it for a while to percolate in my brain.

Blue is ridiculous, I would never have got it.

I didn't think this one was too bad! Very pleased with myself for getting the blue, although I only realised it when I was down to the final 8 words.

Thanks for the new thread! Marking place

I knew three for purple but had no idea the fourth worked that way. And blue was by default.

I got yellow straight away. Was on right track with blues but did have to Google at one point. Purple as per thread title was by default!

I had no idea about the blues and purples, I looked up a hint

WhatICallMyUsername · 18/05/2024 08:14

Always happy when I get purple first! Minor blip today

Even with the explanation, I only recognized one of the blue words as belonging in that category and could guess another one. The other two still have me baffled and I will have to Google them.

I hadn’t heard of one of the blues, so was flailing around trying to get it.

Very pleased to spot purple because blue was never going to happen. Never heard of most of the blue things.

I knew what the blue category was, but definitely unfamiliar with some of those.

ThePoshUns · 18/05/2024 09:15

I could see what the blue category would be but those 'classics' were not familiar to me.
Ah well always tomorrow.
