Like almost everyone, GBD (I only know one of those) and had to guess at blue as I couldn’t make four.

I was sure purple was going to be a RH but I went for it anyway. Blue was a lucky guess and green was leftovers and default. So this was solved by luck rather than skill.

both blue and green seemed suspiciously obvious. Didn’t have a precise connection for purple.

yes yes, hello RH! Purple and blue were tricky.

CountingCrones · 24/08/2026 10:55

I thought purple was only difficult because there were 5 of them.
