Green a random guess, purple by default but obvious once seen

Wow @Chemenger. That’s incredible! 👏👏👏

Fell for red herring. Used Google. Still struggled. PBD.

No default today. I got my 500 perfect puzzle badge today.

My blip in purple was because I had a brief moment where I thought the first one was actually the answer and it was a trick 😂

I think getting purple or blue first is dependent on age.

Same as others re the blues. I had a category for green but I couldn’t find a 4th to make sense. Obviously it was the wrong connection!

Feeling v smug for a 5/5 difficulty. OK, so green was a little looser than their connection, but I'll take it. One the blues jumped out. I knew I knew it - and then it clicked. I thought yellow had the potential to be more of a tangle.

I also googled something that gave me blue. Purple was a flash of inspiration. Green by default, a very weak connection indeed.

Like @WinterFrogs , no assistance needed but it was PBD because I am Very Old Indeed and that's not something I know about.

Peridot1 · 06/07/2026 08:54

GBD. And also googled a word which gave me blue.
