That looked tricky at first then I worked my way through it. I did think yellow was a red herring but went for it.

BBD really, I thought it was something else but one of them was a stretch for that connection.

I thought yellow would be a RH also, and pleased I got purple (but only when left over!)

Had to google the same two words as others, both of which helped me to solve the puzzle.

Always satisfying to get purple first

Took a wild guess for my first go. Then it all became clearer. P definitely by default though.

I knew Durian in yesterday’s puzzle as we used to live in Thailand. It stinks!

HoldMyWine · 30/05/2026 07:42

Fell for the red herring which I thought was a better connection than some of the correct ones today!

Went for the red herring but ok after that. Purple was somewhat by default. I knew what they all were but not that exact connection.

WinterFrogs · 30/05/2026 08:00

Managed the first first two lines by myself then looked at hints. None the wiser so random stabbing of my keyboard followed
