blue makes little sense to me, maybe I’m just too old. Took ages to spot green.

@Peridot1me too! Hints was less than helpful, I had a vague idea of blue but was wrong on the purple connection.

Fell for red herring, had to look at Companion to sort out purples from blues. Still took a while. BBD.

Had no clue after green and yellow. Came back later and it came to me. Didn't really know blue but felt like they went together somehow.

Oof thought I'd blown it at first, silly mistake. No default. Yes pleased I saw purple, should have been an earlier solve!

WintersFrog · 29/08/2026 08:01

I fell for it too. I was then looking gormlessly for some time till the purple jumped out at me. And then it was easy. No hints today #proud 😆
