I needed hints. Would never have got otherwise. I got stuck after yellows when I couldn’t find a 4th word for the red herring!

Same @WintersFrog. Wasn’t too bad in the end though. I even figured out purple.

I thought that was an odd one. I got purple first but my connection was different from theirs.

I knew three of purple but because I didn’t know the fourth, doubted myself.
