I would never have got blue, I’ve never done that thing. Purple was a lucky guess.

I had to work hard to tease blue out, and purple was just...well, I'm going to say stupid tbh. And spurious. Will be interesting to hear opinions!

Pure guesswork in the end.

Agree with you @commonground - the purples are tenuous at best.

Blue and purple were difficult I thought.

I agree that purple wasn't a great category, but I did still make the connection without it being by default.

Purple by default. I’d not heard of a couple of the ones in that category. Yellow first just because I had to look up one of the words.

Fell for the red herring. Yellow was a fluke as gas something else in mind.
Then downhill from there.

took a deep breath today before launching in and it paid off. Although back to yellow being the hardest.

Blue is a bit daft.

Yellow was a fluke. No chance.

I think I would have gone straight for the red herring if I hadn’t read previous comments.
