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!

Blue was by default and like some of you hadn’t heard of one in that context.

No hints or clues today. BBD - I also didn’t know one of the blues in that context.

No default but I did use hints today. Couldn’t get going. And agree about the 4th blue.

I was on right track with blue but kept adding one wrong one. Then realised what purple might be.

I found today's easier than usual. No default.

LifeOfBriony · 02/02/2026 19:44

Got green and yellow, took a couple of guesses thinking I knew blue but couldn’t get all four. Looked at Connections Companion and someone had posted a helpful emoji in the comments. I don’t think I’d have got it otherwise. BBD - I don’t know all the blues but knew the category.
