Purple couldn't have been more default. Interesting reading about a couple of them post puzzle though!

Not a clue today. Thanks for explaining carpet for yesterday @JaneJeffer .
I need someone to talk me through purple tomorrow. Wtf?

@ThePoshUns Google the purples you don't know. They're interesting (I know which ones they are!)

Is purple a default when I thought I got it but it was a bit of a different connection? 😄🙄

Amazing streak @Chemenger. Mine is 2!

Fell for the red herring - no idea about purple, assume it's American.

P very definitely BD. I’m off to google two of them.

I was helped by having lived in the US for a little while so one of the less obvious greens is a big favourite of mine.

Recently I've been finding connections irritating with too many words that are similar or obscure.

Realised it was a rainbow red herring which was actually helpful.

Purple though? I mean, I've not a clue on any of it. Going to Google now
