Me too - I had to spot Blue before I could guess the last purple despite finding the other three really quickly

Got green, but unashamedly needed Connections Companion for hints to get the rest.

I usually fall for the red herrings but I genuinely can’t see one today 🤣

WhatICallMyUsername · 22/02/2026 00:06

Between Night At The Museum films and Civ6, I knew purple. No default today.

Willow12345 · 22/02/2026 09:39

Only knew green and yellow.
Cheated for the other two 😊

Fell for one of the 'could have been' blues and PBD. Well, I had my own connection. (I'm always curious about what people make up in their heads for possible connections. I bet they are funnier/better than the real ones sometimes!)

Peridot1 · 22/02/2026 11:10

Google helped with blue. PBD.
