Failed, I'd never heard of two of purple so it was always going to need a lucky guess. Was one away from blue, but as one's a bit of a fudge I didn't get the connection properly. Hey-ho let's see what tomorrow's like!

Blue felt really iffy to me, but it turns out I did understand it.

I didn't even see the herring before I got the first 2. Probably wouldn't have gotten purple even though I'd heard of them all.

Blue and purple were just nasty for me. Purple, two of them seem US centric as I’ve never heard of those in the UK. And blue whilst I kinda get it I don’t get the connections so don’t think I would ever have got that one.

:::spoiler spoiler The candy one was weird because Mars and Aero are common in the UK whereas Dove and Heath are common in the US. It's weird to mix countries like that, especially from a US publisher. I tried to turn a Brit friend onto connections and he said it was frustrating in general because of the US stuff that pops up all the time.
