😂 yes! I wanted to see if any of the midnight group got it when I saw it. It just totally threw me.

Impressed others have got it.

Kind of annoyed - I thought the purple group was the easiest and would therefore be coloured yellow, so I left it I until last. My attempt clearly backfired! 😂

Better than I thought when I first looked!

kindletimeisfinetime · 12/06/2024 06:26

I've just looked and then gone and done strands. Will have to come back to it!!! 🤯

Panicked when I first saw it.
Once I got the first line made sense

Well that was different. Went off on all sorts of tangents initially. Then focussed on the first thing that jumped out at me.

Ouch! Interesting how everyone is either finding it super-easy or impossible today! I focussed on all the wrong things!

I'm amazed I got that - I thought the yellow was what it was but could not get the 4th. Otherwise it was all a bit crazy

kindletimeisfinetime · 12/06/2024 09:52

I used hints and still didn't get it.
Horrible one!!

Got it purple to yellow 😁

As PP have said, a lot easier than on first glance.
