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!

PBD - I got the category but one of the words didn't fit into it in my mind

👋 @Peridot1 it must be very confusing switching time zones!

That was another scramble - I don't think I've had a confident solve across all colours for a while. My P and Y were 'random words that look like they might go together more than the others' (Which I don't think counts as a category!)

I’d not heard of one of the purple words in that context.

I could see three of the purple but one I didn’t know.

I see @ThePoshUns and I must have had the same wrong idea for the second line 😀

Got blue, then had to look at hints and was able to get yellow. Guessed greens and eventually got it right. PBD - never heard of one of them.

WhatICallMyUsername · 14/02/2026 22:02

Now I’ve seen the result I am annoyed I didn’t get blue and purple first time!
