red herring here too. That took a long time. Some quite weak connections and odd choices of word. I had three of the purples for ages, the fourth was a guess.

Tough today. Straight in with yellow and blue which helped me to see 2 of green. PBD. I was so confused by this I have no idea what the RH is. Probably a good thing for my solve!

Didn't see a red herring. Purple left me perplexed.

It seems that only 8% of people fell for the red herring. I consider that a win on my part then.

That was a struggle. No hints or Googling, but after I got yellow I must have come back to the puzzle 3 or 4 times before I spotted 3 purples and lucky guessed the 4th. Then blue was pretty easy, but green was totally by default...although I really should have got it!
