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

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 .

No idea after being thrown that the red herring was a red herring

B very much BD. I would never have got that, don’t know three of them. Very lucky flash of inspiration for purple.

I found it hard today. I spent a long time distracted by the red herring. Blue by default and I looked at hints after doing yellow and green.

That was very unsatisfying! Green and yellow seemed like purple. I had to go to hints to limp through purple and blue was an absolute default (although I made up my own category).

Purple was by chance. No clue about blue. Hard today I thought.

I managed yellow and green, and then a combination of Google, hints, pure luck and blue by default!

Got green, should have got yellow, thought I’d guessed a category but nothing worked.
