yellow was almost my default, got it with a google.

I saw lots of potential red herrings, so thought I'd better be really careful. This took me a while.

I liked the red herring better! No defaults, but green is a weak category.

I found that hard. Used hints when down to one life. Wouldn’t have got it without.

@CountingCrones I really liked the red herring! I feel the whole puzzle was based around a strong RH so the actual solves were a bit weak

Waitingforlongerdays · 02/07/2026 16:43

@goldtrap @CountingCrones I totally agree

It looked hard to begin with, but then it fell in to place. I didn't spot a red herring.

I felt very pleased with myself until it turned out that was a red herring.

Nearly went for the red herring but spotted purple instead. Much more straightforward today.

@OrsolaRosso , yesterday's red herring was the lullaby Hush Little Baby - the first four things to buy. Mockingbird, diamond ring, looking glass, billy goat.
