fell for the red herring. Did some googling for the fourth blue. I only got purple when they were leftovers. All in all a bit of a struggle.

Fell for the red herring. Didn’t know one of the purples.

Used Google for a couple of words, no default, although I’m not familiar with one of the purples .
