Yellow was something I know nothing about but I guessed that it was the connection so googled.

Thought the red herring was the best connection, although it's just because yellow is absolutely not in my knowledge bank.

Love yellow

Fell for the red herring and although I guessed some of blue it was then downhill all the way.

I join the red herring club. I googled yellow because I knew what it was but I only knew two of them. I should have thought more about purple, it’s quite guessable, although I thought there might be a different link between a purple and a yellow.

I couldn't find a way in to this at all at first, but I was pretty secure with blue and after that it was a combination of guess work, and google (for the yellows. I got the vibe of that one but am not so familiar with it).

Knew what sort of thing yellow was going to be but was never going to get it. Green was naughty tricksy.

Fwiw, rainbow red herrings will always be positionally obvious iykwim

For the first time, DH was looking at it with me and wanted to go straight there with the red herring.

I was like nooooo, it's too obvious and he said, what, so this whole game is just a trick?

Yes. Yes it is.

Yes, yes it is, and I’m a sucker 🤣

Mind you, the Bot says 74% of players are also suckers.

Also went straight for the red herring - then I spotted the yellows (although I don't quite agree with one of them). Purple was default.

I thought it wasn't too bad, apart from yellow being totally by default. I would never have got that connection!

Purple was lucky, as that wasn't really what I had in mind 😅

I don't know enough about blue to have worked it out, so that was by default
