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!

Never heard of that particular use of one of the green words. Boo.

Hints were used. Still couldn’t get one of the greens so it was definitely by default.

5/5 difficulty! I notice that over 50% of people got purple first.

I googled one of the green words, never heard of that use of it. Blue was obvious once they were left over.

Looks like I’m with the folks who got purple first and struggled with greens, like others I’ve not seen one of those in that context.

No googling or hints but green by default

Purple was easy, needed hints for the rest. Green was leftovers and I’m not familiar with one of them.

Tricky today. GBD. I was going in a completely different direction with purple until I spotted the connection. Just in time.

I googled one word. I thought purple was something else entirely, luckily I spotted green just in time.
