BBD. I had two of them in mind early on but I still don’t get the other two.

Hadn't heard of one of the purples, and blue was default, totally unknown to me!

I kind of guessed blue would be something along those lines! Means nothing to me but there often seems to be similar answers.

no default today. Helped by not knowing anything about the apparent red herring. I don’t know how I knew blue but somehow I spotted it.

Oof that was scrappier than my result suggested. I pulled blue out from somewhere, not sure why I knew that. And purple I had an idea, but couldn't pin it down, so I guess it's a reluctant PBD.

Pleased to have dodged the red herring and BBD as I've only heard of one of them in that context.

BBD. I too only knew one of those in that way. I was annoyed with myself as I noticed that I had a streak of one. I’d failed to finish Wednesdays!

Hmm! Red herring and then hints to sort the blue and purple.

Got green, a bit of head scratching to get yellow. Then peeked at Connections Companion which gave the category for blue, although I only knew one for certain. PBD but I understand it.
