Thanks @Chemenger I'm trying to see if I can get purple first as often as possible. It's a bit of a cheat as I often know at least some of the other categories but just hold off on picking them until I've found purple. Today purple genuinely was first.

purple first for a slightly wrong connection, green was a totally wrong connection, then fat fingers on blue.

Needed hints for blue and purple. I’ve never heard of any of the blues and that is something I’m into! Would never have got purple.
