Straight in there with blue and yellow, then a long pause as I tried to get rid of the thing I was convinced would fit.

Luckily I couldn’t find a fourth for my very clever red herring!

Couldn’t see blue and purple without hints . I had blue half right but purple would have been a definite default.

I'm not even going to share my result today 😳 Safe to say first I fell for a red herring, then went mad with trying to fix a 'one away'.
It's a mess 🤣

I thought purple was a red herring as seemed too obvious

I thought today’s categories were a bit silly if I’m honest.

Red herring straight away but not too bad after that.
