Who thought they would use this as the red herring?

My second guess is “parts of the ear” - anvil, stirrup, hammer, drum. 😫

Oh that's clever! I didn't even notice that red herring!

But I've taken to using copilot but default most days, which really helps reduce the chance of getting caught by red herrings.

Damn, I thought blue was easier than green this time.
