I googled one word which actually set me on the wrong track for blue, but no default in the end.

@goldtrap. I only count default if I click the final 4 words with no clue to the connection. Often when it’s purples and the connection is a uniting word, there will be one term I’m not familiar with but I can see the connection for the other 3 words .

@peridot same - I didn't know one of the blues but guessed the connection. That doesn't count as a default, right?!

l was slightly off track with blues but got it with hints. I would never have got purples without hints and am unfamiliar with one of them .

grr, a headscratcher. I knew purple would be that kind of connection but I'd given up by then, so yes - PBD.
