@Hepzibar I’m not sure it counts as a success when it’s the wrong game! 😄.

Purple was definitely by default here.

After a long think I got purple, which I loved as a teen.
Definitely showing my age.

Should have had one more attempt, I hit the wrong word without realising on the first go.

That said, it still would have been luck not skill
