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!

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!

I think you have the most satisfying pattern in your grid today

That didn’t go well! I thought I had 3 out of 4 for blue, green and purple but had assumed one of the greens was a blue …. Off to google what it is in a green context now.

LifeOfBriony · 21/01/2026 21:51

Got green quickly then after a while looked at hints - which gave me the category for purple. Guessed blue. YBD

Similar thoughts as others about purple . Did anyone actually guess this, rather than default ?

WinterFrogs · 22/01/2026 19:19

Purple was my default as in I'd got all the others anyway, but I squinted at it for a few min and did get the connection, but i would not have got it otherwise I don't think @ABeerInTheSunshineMakesMeHappy and @Willow12345

Got green straight away, then blue. Yellow was a series of guesses, PBD.
