Whew! Got the purple line on pure luck. And, of course, that meant that the remaining 4 words had to be linked, although the reason did not occur to me.
I was lucky. That yellow letter having to be either the first letter or the third (it turned out to be the first) and the remaining unused vowels (I had burned up 3 vowels in my first two guesses) really limited the available words. Like, it took me five to ten minutes to think of even one word that would fit!
Took me a huge amount of time to get my fourth guess, which I wasn’t even confident was a word. But then the fifth was so easy I couldn’t understand why I hadn’t seen it sooner.
