Very pleased to have gotten it but only got the purples line by default. And wouldn’t have gotten it any other way!

I liked today’s. Initially looked impossible but turned out to be not that hard with a pleasing variety of themes.

So this is the real puzzle 292 - very odd that it said yesterday's was 292 as I finished it after midnight but started before.

I liked this one. I knew the connection for green straight away but kept being led astray until I narrowed it down.

Grrr!

Brain wasn’t in gear. Purple was sort of floating around in my head but I got fixated on yellow too quickly.
