Blue was a complete and utter fluke. PBD. Annoyed when I spotted what it was.

BBD. There are far too many of that type of connection, imo.

Purple was a bit of a cheat really. I googled one of the words looking for an alternative meaning and the connections answer came up. Blue by default. All in all I doubt I would have got there on my own.

Blue is very specific, if you know at least one I think it gives it away

Blue stood out straight away for me, but that probably says more about my age than anything else!
