Well this hasn't happened for a while and quite quickly too. Like others still wouldn't have got purple

Found today's much easier. No hints and didn't have to come back to it!

Also haven't had a straight run in a while.

@happinessischocolate

Did you manage to do strands?

I did a couple of words to get a hint but they turned out to be correct 😂 then I got it, the connection was obvious

I did ! I had spotted 'baby' and 'adult' immediately and was looking out for other stages of human life or family members - but once I spotted 'horse', the others came pretty quickly .

I think I’m one of a very few who didn’t get purple as my last group. Would be fascinating to see the wider data on which order people get groups. (Clearly I’m a weirdo!)

Please don’t write out the connections on here so early in the day. I glanced at “threads I’m watching” and the top message was @happinessischocolate with one of the answers.

Well that was a surprise.
Worked green and yellow out.
Blue completely random guess
And purple would never have git that.

So technically this is only a 2/4.
