Looked at hints, which didn’t help - then a series of lucky guesses. BBD

PBD. I had a vague connection in mind when they were all that was left but I was wrong.

I had a different (feeble) connection for purple once they were left. I had thought about the actual connection in passing but didn’t pursue it.

I'm in the same boat as you, @Peridot1. Even after getting purple by default I still couldn't really understand what the connection was! Took me ages thinking about it. And I had seen the so-called connection pretty much straight away when I started.

this one said 3/5 difficulty and usually I struggle with the 1.5s! So was expecting a toughie, but no defaults today.

I could see purple but wasn’t getting the right choices - looked at hints after the first 3 wrong answers.

LifeOfBriony · 24/03/2026 20:28

Got yellow and green quickly, then looked at hints when I ran out of lives.

It's always the 2 out of five or the 3 out of 5 difficulties I find the most difficult. 3 out of 5 today. Quite hard! Needed hints. But I did work out purple first so that's something
