I think this would have been a bit of a mess if DS wasn't here to help with blue. That resolved a lot of things! All good after that.

Needed hints from Connections Companion after I’d got green.

I could see a few options for green, thought I saw blue but I had a different connection.

Nice and straightforward for me today. I even got purple! Makes a change.

Purple popped out at me when I was trying to sort yellow.

PBD, but not much thinking needed for the rest.

My grid looks like it was easy but I had to go for hints after yellow.

I wasn't feeling it today. Purple by default

Oh no @WingBingo, I’ve never got past 25!
Lots of red herrings today

Oh wow @WingBingo. That’s gutting. Can’t ever imagine getting a streak that high on Connections. 46 was my highest.

Fell for a red herring and PBD.

Flipping heck, that was a bit of a challenge!

@WingBingo - so frustrating! , that's why I take a day off if my streak gets past about 30. DP lost a 3 year streak on Wordle and was absolutely gutted. Don't give in to the Tyranny Of The Streak.
