One of those purples completely baffles me! And I fell for a red herring like a red shirt in Star Trek!🤣

Went for the obvious red herring at the start! Quite liked that one, it felt challenging (I only got green because I do the crossword a lot so I knew the American angle)

Stowickthevast · 31/05/2024 08:33

Also fell for it

Fell for the red herring too. Then was stumped. Ended up in a bit of a muddle.

Fell for the red herring while trying to avoid what I thought must be a red herring. I did smile when I got purple but I think that it’s age related because one of them isn’t really done nowadays. Blue is nice too, I twigged what it was when I was left with the four. One for the older generation as well!

@Chemenger - if it’s the purple I think you mean, no, it’s very much done by the Young People - my teen and her friends are fans. Funny how these things come around again!

I thought Blue was the red herring - nope! And I hadn’t heard of one of the Greens but guessed as the others would fit as a category for Purple.
