So, anyone got any theories why Victoria was wearing a Venetian mask for last night's show? My thought it was she was coming from an Eyes Wide Shut-type party.

No mistakes today.   Sat staring at the last remaining 8 words for ages, then the purple line clicked.

Good one today.   Enjoyed it :)

Yeah the purple one is nonsense.

My first guess I was seeing a completely different connection - computer things: server, bus, host, digit - last one a bit flimsy but whatevs, made more sense than the purple line!
