Got the others out of the way quickly so I had all the time in the world to solve purple, but jumped too soon and got totally the wrong connection. Obvious on reveal.

I needed hints today, apart from yellow

No default today 🙂 Going to look back and see if I can spot the red herring now.

We'll, I found today's puzzle easy but can't figure out what the red herring was 😄

Doh!! Yes, thanks. I can see it now. Not sure how I missed it but I'm glad that I did 😁

LifeOfBriony · 14/04/2026 19:53

Seems I forgot to play yesterday. No matter; I don’t take my Connections streak seriously as I sometimes need clues or hints (it was 18 though!)

Got yellow and blue then looked at Companion where the picture gave me green. PBD but the category makes sense.

I wouldn’t have seen the red herring without the connections bot pointing it out.

I saw yellow straight away but thought it might be a red herring. No default today. Quick and easy I thought.

Off to check out the actual red herring.
