Commiserations to people who lost their threads!
I did quite a bit of googling. Some of it helped, evidently.
I've also started using connections copilot to group things together before randomly guessing. Some random guessing is inevitable!

As you can see, I knew what the purple connection was meant to be but could only find 3 of them. At least my lost streak was only a short one this time 😄

Sorry to those who lost their streaks today.

I could see what the purple connection was, but only knew 3 of them. Surely there was a mistake with purple ? For the final purple there were two possible words that fit, the 4th purple and the 1st green, so very misleading.

Had to google one of the greens and purple by default - glad I didn’t spend any longer trying to guess it!

No hints, no defaults. Still took a whole cup of coffee though.

I could see there was a red herring in there but the trick was working out what is and isn’t the red herring.

Found today's far easier than usual. I see the red herring that everyone's talking about now but it wasn't on my radar when I did the puzzle. I think that probably says something about me... 😂
