@CurlewKate I think purple ruins the overall effect though 🤣

I had a completely different connection for blue but it worked!

Blue got me today, I was thinking of the wrong usage. Thought purple a little obvious tbh, two of the words totally gave it away

@ThePoshUns see, if this was Only Connect we'd get the bonus points for alternative valid groups!

Blue by default! Definitely had a brain fart with yellow today, but yes, purple was obvious straight away!

Some of you really are getting good at purple. When they are really obscure I tend to the the person setting it is a bit of a psycho so what that says about you lot I’m sure I can’t say……😄

I was just pleased to get it not by default today. Blue was definitely by default.

Tricky one! Took ages to work out the exact combination for yellow, but after that it wasn't too bad.

Rummikub · 20/06/2024 02:18

Knew yellow and green but got the wrong 4th word
