Got there in the end but feel aggrieved by blue cos one of the things is the thing & without it the other things are just random...uh...things that then aren't the actual thing at all.

Completely bamboozled by the red herring, and so frustrated it took me so long to see blue as it relates to one of my favourite things! Loved it when everything suddenly clicked in to place though, bit of a rollercoaster for me today 😹

Upside down result today. Chuffed with that.

I didn't realise that purple fits- my kids do it too but I didn't realise you do that with it....

Struggled with this today.

Yellow may as well be in mandarin for all the sense it made to me!

@Xmasfairy86 Same! No way would I have got it if they weren't the only words left.

I also fell for the red herring.

Total fail. I had two red herrings and could sort of see green, yellow and blue - although only 3 of each (one in the blue seemed a repeat meaning). Would never have guessed purple .

It's weird, but I find myself struggling with recent Connections. I used to be able to complete them without too much trouble, but it's a total hit or a miss now.

I've gone off Wordle too In fact, the only one I consistently love doing is Spelling Bee!

Oh FFS

🟪🟦🟦🟪 first fail for ages! Obviously purple was easy once you know-but I wouldn't have got blue in a million years!

@JMSA I like the idea of Spelling Bee- but it takes too long for me. I like the speedy ones!

another first fail in ages. 😡

Got a right hump on!

Saw blue and green immediately. The rest was disastrous.

I spotted a possible link for purple and took great satisfaction in working that one out

Phew indeed.

Was on the right track with green but kept just getting one wrong. Purple was sort of default as hadn’t a clue but chose those as kept getting green wrong!
