Used hints today. Green was ridiculous.

@CurlewKate I think we had the same issue with purple. Blue was dubious.

UnimaginableWindBird · 27/05/2024 08:19

I completely failed today, possibly for the first time. Honestly, even knowing the answers, purple is the only one I could have got.

WingBingo · 27/05/2024 08:20

Blue by default here!

Not sure how I managed that, it was annoying

I got yellow pretty quickly but then failed miserably even with hints.

Not just me then lol. The groups made sense when I saw them but everything just felt super vague & non-specific before that.

I could see the yellow and purple link but kept putting the wrong words in . Then I came up with a new category of my own .... which actually made more sense than their blue or green categories !
