Connections Puzzle #1213 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ I _almost_ fell for the herring but stopped myself in time, after noticing the TYPES OF CHAIRS category. Still, I only knew three of those, so I had to work my way through all the other categories. And I did in fact get purple. A good brain workout today, and I’m happy with myself for managing a clean solve. ---
