I could see the blue connection but as I used google to help me find the 4th one, I found purple!

No Googling or hints here at all. I'd rather lose my streak. I knew what the blue connection was meant to be but I only recognised two of them. Somehow managed to get purple by guesswork without having any idea what the connection was and so blue worked itself out 😃

Got yellow and green, knew two of the blues but guessed and guessed and guessed wrong again.

I see that according to the bot 41% of people got purple first today.

One of the greens was particularly annoying……

Saw purple early on but wanted to be sure it wasn’t a red herring .

one of the greens is a bit unimaginative.
