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

Keep on connecting!

Very nearly fell for the red herring, loved purple and annoyed as I saw 2 straight away and didn’t persevere! So in my head purple first 😂. BBD

Straight in with the red herring. Kicked myself when I saw the purple connection.

my purple connection, which I only saw at the end, was less specific. Managed to avoid the red herring.

Love purple! I say this every time, but I'm never amused but red herrings. 🙄

So, using connections copilot as usual, I found this pretty difficult at first. I could see blue. Finally managed to work out yellow and green and avoid the red herring although I wasn't going to avoid it at first! So tempting!Then when I saw what was purple which was effectively leftovers, I went Oooooohhhh THAT was it !

Got caught by the red herring, but straight forward after that.

I think I spotted the red herring but I could find a few words that fit, so I avoided them all!

I had a much more vague connection for blue.

Straightforward today. PBD, but would have got it if I’d thought about it for longer.
