Purple was ridiculous again :) I'd never have got that.

fairly straightforward, I realised what purple was once I got it by elimination

I didn't get purple but the rest were quite easy today, I thought (so was purple once I saw what it was!)

Peridot1 · 03/04/2024 08:17

Wouldn’t have gotten purple except they were what was left.

Green & purple were never going to happen for me.

Also... Weird thing with one of the words in the yellow imo & iykyk

Yellow and blue quite straightforward, one word in green a guess and as usual I wouldn't have got purple if they weren't all left at the end.
