lar3ryca blurted out:

I do a Wordle every day, and usually attempt 'Connections'.
I have mixed results with Connections. Some days I get them all easily, sometimes I get none.

[...]

My current stats are 226 complete, 62% win, a current streak of 3, a
largest streak of 6, 57 perfext puzzles (vs 85 with 4 errors), and 5
"Purple First" ... which marks getting the "hardest" set first.

("Purple Last" count is high, so I don't get to buff my nails)

I'm doing a Danish "Connections" every day, so we can't compare and
besides I see only statistics about how people managed todays puzzle.
There's no collected statistics.

I have never guessed "Purple" first.

Purple first is a reference to a NYTimes game called 'Connections', not Wordle.

In 'Connections' the authors conside the purple answer to be the most difficult.

I suspect a clever wink.

In 'Connections' the authors conside the purple answer to be the most difficult.

I suspect that the blue answer is meant to be the easiest, but there is
no official confirmation of that that I've seen.
