Hopefully we will find each other? I didn’t notice the old thread filling up.
Happy Christmas to you all and thanks for your company through the year!

Almost impossible. Googled some of the words. Found blue - worked it out by slow elimination. Looked at hint for purple and yellow. Green by default.
Too hard! Next time I'll sit on it until morning.

Lorra nonsense today I'm with you @ThePoshUns
Despite looking at hints

I enjoyed it today! Thank God for Google though. I guessed blue but had to research a bit.

PBD. One I hadn’t heard of.

That was a struggle. Only connection I guessed without googling, was purple.

So tricky. Only worked it out with DS and I put purple together for totally different reasons! Probably would be easier for Americans but the 2.8/5 difficulty rating is bullshit.

WhatICallMyUsername · 09/01/2026 08:35

I could actually see 2 blue but couldn’t find the other 2 so didn’t even try! Purple was a complete fluke 😀

I didn't think it was that bad. I hadn't heard of one of the blues, but otherwise it was ok

That was hard work and needed google plus hints.

My purple connection was very different from theirs!

LifeOfBriony · 09/01/2026 22:13

I knew two blue, did a bit of googling, and guessed the other two. The others were lucky guesses after looking at hints.
