I got stuck on blue and purple yesterday, and put it aside for later. Then I forgot about it, so I didn’t finish. πŸ˜• Looked up the answers, and I know absolutely nothing about Tarot cards. Despite looking intently for a fill-in-the-blank solution for purple, I didn’t see the one they were going for. So I might not have cracked it even if I’d remembered. But I flew through today’s puzzle in mere seconds. Connections Puzzle #853 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 πŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺπŸŸͺ ---
