Walked straight into the red herring. After that, no default and straightforward.

I fell for the red herring too. It was a good one though.

PBD.

I was convinced I was going to get a red herring, but apparently not.

I don’t actually know what two of the purples are, but I had the yellows sorted.

Initially assumed blue was a red herring.

Red herring for me! Purples I was sort of there on the connection, but couldn’t get the fourth one, and still don’t know it.

No hints or clues, but got caught out!

That there red herring row makes quite a pretty pattern.
PBD, and was a DOH! moment when I saw the description

Mistake on the first row as I misread one word.

What was the children’s game beginning with the word ‘red’ yesterday ?
