Okay I’ve googled now based on the answer and I still only know 3 😂

Had absolutely no idea what purple was, thinking I had cleverly found a connection, which turned out to be entirely in my imagination when I saw the actual connection!

PBD.

Love that you got purple first even with a wrong connection @thinky! Although is it wrong if it works? 🧐

Googled the meaning of one of the purples, and it inadvertently gave me the connection.

Purple by default - I can see two of them but can’t work out the other two. CBA to google!

I saw the red herring. I knew it was a red herring. I went for it anyway. Never heard one of the greens being used that way.

No default, went for the red herring like a numpty.

Peridot1 · 03/04/2026 08:19

It was such a good red herring. Had to be done!

A thesaurus helped with green as hadn’t heard of one word used like that.

Blue was a guess and purple was obvious once they were all that was left.

Pleased to spot purple, had to google one of the greens because I have a very vague idea it might fit blue is nonsense. No fun today.
