purple first for a slightly wrong connection, green was a totally wrong connection, then fat fingers on blue.

Google was used for blue but I was on right track.

Thanks @Chemenger I'm trying to see if I can get purple first as often as possible. It's a bit of a cheat as I often know at least some of the other categories but just hold off on picking them until I've found purple. Today purple genuinely was first.

First blue line was a case of fat fingers. Purple was by default, but I liked it, it was probably gettable with a bit more thought.

Frustrating! I knew I was on the right lines with purple grrr. Blue is a real classic connections category - and my least favourite kind!
