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.

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.
