@clifffaith - details on purple in the spoiler

Spoiler: solution 7.28.24

The words start with vegetables
BEEThoven, CORNucopia, KALEiedoscope, PEAcock
My miss (3rd guess) was a totally different thought-thinking colorful or spreading (the miss was including butterfly instead of beethoven), then I saw the veggies.

Two misses for a Solid early this morning.

Solfège ? I had to look it up. But overall - perfect.

 

[jont]

No clue on purple and blue????
does a gutter have a spout?

Now there’s a word that has never before crossed my path — solfège! I’ll be ear worming “Doe a deer a female deer…” all day!

You and me both, @clifffaith, I was just sure that was it!!

A Perfect early this morning and I knew them all.

Very impressed with myself that I got the blue first - not my forte. All the others easier for me! A much better showing here than in Wordle. On to the day!

I love Connections. A group of friends post our daily results on a text chain. It’s a very clever game. Below is an interesting article about how Wyna Lui creates the puzzles.
