And I'd never have got the blue one! Purple was the one I saw straight away, but could only see 3 of them at first.

DH and I both do this - I find it fascinating how our brains work differently. There are many days when he sees the connections and I find and vice versa.

Wrong track to start with but pulled it back!

I really wish it would show your previous guesses. I think it may be time to accept this isn't the game for me 🫣🤣

DH and I are exactly the same. He can be stuck for ages on one I see as trivial, and vice versa.

I wouldn't have got the blue one by myself, but I did realise the link once they were the only ones left.

Another fail !

Pretty sure I only ever get the purples by default .

I don’t think the purples are always harder. I rarely get them in the order they think.
My goal is to get them in reverse order so if I ever work out two sets at the same time I try to guess which one they think is harder.

Phew! I struggled to get going today. The 5 possibilities for yellow got me overthinking.

I've been missing days as I couldn't initially get them, then forgot to go back!

Didn't know there was a thread for this.... 👋 that was a quick one today

Surprised myself today
Blue was guesswork that paid off. Another 'would never have got purple'
