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!

Saw purple just in time. Was Wyna trolling us with the Brooklyn reference?!

Also found it easier than yesterday’s. Saw blue straight away.

I don’t think I’ve heard of two of the green answers.

A bit of trial and error to find the 4th green. I know it looks the other way round from my grid!

No default today. Well I suppose purple was by default but I did figure it out. Not sure if that’s counted as default or not!

No default today, purple was leftovers but I did then spot the connection so that counts as no default as far as I’m concerned.

Willow12345 · 21/01/2026 10:02

I’m very impressed that people got this!
I found it impossible and I had not heard of one of the blues or greens, in those contexts.

I can't believe how long it took for me to spot purple - it's practically DS's specialist subject!
