Stared at it for ages this morning and couldn't work out how to start, came back a bit later and did it with no errors. Funny how the brain works!

I find shuffling it helps to get rid of the sneaky order they put things in

Green was easy and blue but got very stuck on yellow as too many choices!

That yellow group was revolting

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 20/03/2024 08:34

Today’s result brought to you by Google and the skin of my teeth.

When I was googling one of the words the top hit was a hints page for today!
