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

Keep on connecting!

frantic googling and then purple was a different connection. Well done to those who got it without hints!

Purple was a bit tenuous

Purple leapt out to me but I didn’t know the full connection, I don’t believe anyone would.

that was hard going. (And that’s not the proper name of one of the purples so I didn’t think it could be that)

Today's difficulty was 3 out of five. I'm not sure how they work out how difficult it is. The connection for purple was just ridiculously over the top

As others have said, my connection for purple was a lot more vague. I had to google a couple of words, and I don’t recognise one of the blues in that context.

I didn’t see the red herring!

Got green and yellow, and had an idea of the remaining categories (although not so specific) but didn’t know enough words to fit. Guesswork paid off.

Ah that’s pretty 😂

Once I was down to blue and purple I spotted the red herring but had already got yellow and green so didn’t fall for it
