Purple was bizarre, which I suppose was appropriate.

Purple was definitely by default. Wouldn’t have known that in a month of Sundays.

I would have got purple first if I wasn't such an intellectual snob that I assumed it couldn't possibly be what it was!🤣

oof, I would argue that in purple, one of those things is not like the others. Maybe I'll unpick this tomorrow when it's been solved.

I saw a couple of purple words and immediately thought of the connection, but then talked myself out of it.

I had blue, but clicked on the wrong word 🤦‍♀️

Purple by default, I would never have got that.

Purple was definitely a default !

I've noticed some posters saying 'purple by default' but that they knew what it was when there were only 4 words left - I don't think that's a default then. Default is when (like me) you click on the last 4 left having no clue what the connection is.

I thought about the purple but one word didn’t fit in my opinion.

I figured out purple when they were the only 4 left but hadn't spotted it until then.
