Normally if I get purple first, I'm at least aware that's what I'm doing. Not this time, purple just happened to be the one that stood out to me first.

I'm new to this, what's the significance of the colours?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Order of difficulty. Yellow is easiest, followed by green, then blue, and purple is supposed to be the hardest.

Purple is also most often the one likely to be something like "starts with a day of the week" or "______ something", types of connections the puzzle creator clearly thinks are the most difficult.

Haven't tried connections in a while. Went quite well.

Spoiler

I knew the pirate stuff was a red herring as soon as I saw the diving ones!

Today's went really quick, got pretty lucky with the initial guesses. I've started talking to myself out loud, I feel like that helps a bit too.
