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

No default. I was aiming for a reverse rainbow, but misjudged which would be blue.

Yes yes, straight in with the RH, but it was just asking for it! No default at least.

LifeOfBriony · 27/09/2026 20:27

Straight in with the red herring. I liked it too, @Cavalierorwhat .
