A good one to ease into the new thread, thank you! On the straightforward solves I like to go back and see if I can spot the RH, but I couldn't see it today.

GBD and blue was a bit of a guess; I had the general area but not the exact connection. Purple was very obvious.

I see that only 1% got green first, with 51% getting purple first.

HoldMyWine · 22/08/2026 08:47

Purple was so obvious. Would never have got Green in a million years.
