I eventually realised the difference between blue and purple but had to google to confirm the 4th purple, and I’ve now learned something!

One of those purples could also have been a blue tbf.

Got caught by the red herring again. Once again it was more interesting than the rest of the puzzle.

OK today. Couple I thought could be RH but turns out they weren't.
Perhaps there should be a category: RHs that aren't RHs.

(BTW yesterday's 'Top' in 'dogs that aren't dogs' connection was a wrong 'un according to my pooch. He is Top Dog in the family and is definitely a dog that is a dog).

I got too confident there - zipping along thinking ‘this is easy’, and tripped up on line 3.

Back to yesterday, I was amazed to discover that a prairie dog isn’t actually a wild dog like a coyote. Mind blown!
