I couldn’t see a new thread and the other is nearly full.

Keep on connecting!

No default but one of the blues only works for Americans, which threw me for a bit.

I thought that was difficult - purple by default and I’m only familiar with one of them .

No default today but it took me ages to spot the blue connection.

No help today - PBD, although I was on the right lines in line 3. Got three blues and guessed the fourth.

BBD.. don’t get one

WonderfulSmith · 22/04/2026 22:52

The blue that most people don’t get only really works with American pronunciation.

I had to use hints, haven’t heard of one of the purple and that’s my era. Blue absolutely no idea.

Blue was a bit of a guess. Then sort of got purple bar one.

slightly annoyed not to have got purple first. I didn’t really know what blue was but I knew I’d heard it. I had spotted yellow but had doubts about one of them. All in all quite lucky to get perfect.

Chemenger · 23/04/2026 08:13

I’m not sure which of the purples people don’t know, they are all quite recognisable to me.

I haven't heard of one of the purples, but googling it afterwards I recognise a photo. And I hadn't heard the blue one, perhaps that's more common in the us.

Had to randomly guess one of the purples and blue was definitely by default.

Had to get rid of a lot of words for blue to reveal itself.

DH spotted purple. I agree that being of a certain generation helps. I had to tell my mother what blue meant, she’d not heard of it either.

Confession time: in googling one of the words, one of the first results was an explanation of today’s Connections. So I got purple. Like a pp, I didn’t know 9ne of them. BBD - not an answer I was familiar with.
