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.

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
