Blue was fun! Wouldn’t have gotten purple.

I just checked the game and I was given a new almost identical game to try again. The only difference was one word for purple changed which would have made it a bit harder IMO.

After your post I decided to check and I had a new game too with one difference in purple.

Ditto re the change and the removed word is the one that gave me the idea of the connection.

I see that too. I can guess why they changed it. It wasn’t strictly correct, now that I think about it.
