Andy @ #22184: Definitely a good mental workout! (11 months, 1 week ago)

me @ #10899: No, Iron is not our most common element - only 5%. Oxygen Silicon etc are way more, followed by Aluminium. If it said second most common metal it would be correct. Blot on an otherwise good grid. (11 months, 4 weeks ago)

PMJ @ #81984: Great counter to the pop music strain. An excellent grid. Nice work! The non-music categories were not difficult, and though I couldn't sort the singers by voice characteristics, I did correctly label them once they were organized for me. (1 year, 1 month ago)

KD @ #81975: I would encourage you to transliterate the Arabic term (Jabal is what google translate says). That's still obscure enough to require a lot of knowledge without being completely impenetrable. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Movie Buff @ #81810: P.S. for hair Patrick Stewart in ,"I Claudius" Telly Savalas in "The Birdman of Alcatraz" Mohandas Gandhi, in old news reels when he was an aspiring lawyer And Yule Brunner, anything pre The King and I. (1 year, 1 month ago)

PMJ @ #81931: Beautifully done, especially as it didn't need to be concealed from public view. All the categories were marvelous. And thanks for resurrecting a name from the past. That was a crowning move. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Wye Knott @ #81810: What a banana's of a grid.Wanted to pull it apart, but the I realised I had fun and was laughing, so We'll done you! TY (1 year, 1 month ago)

PMJ @ #81810: That's another puzzle worth solving. I'm glad we finally got it. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Terry Ratball @ #81948: Terry says not bad, keep up the good work (1 year, 1 month ago)

William @ #81937: "...as you state shot putt not throw!" Shot Put is a throwing discipline. As World Athletics, the governing body, puts it in the very first sentence of their description of Shot Put; "One of the four traditional throws events..." That the sport has it's own vocabulary doesn't change that it is all about throwing something. (1 year, 1 month ago)

LdyGray @ #81933: You have to let us know the answer! So sweet. (1 year, 1 month ago)

goldenred @ #69419: Really fun! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Whales&dollfins @ #77137: Not really what the grid is about. Fine to have these type of puzzles within a grid as 1 connection but boring to have it as all 4. IMO but fine if people like these and want to have a new genre of grids (1 year, 1 month ago)

goldenred @ #70617: I didn't make the insurance connection either, although it seems obvious after the fact. :) It's certainly fair, since it is in the US category. (1 year, 1 month ago)

clairebee @ #81920: thanks for posting. Some funny expressions. Personally, when it’s so many groups of anagrams, it becomes too difficult for me to solve, I prefer a moderate sprinkle. :-) but I’m sure there are some anagram lovers here (1 year, 1 month ago)

William @ #81575: "Maybe a bit too America-centric..." "...at least lets avoid US sport." There is an American flag next to the gridconstructors name. She can be as American as she wants to be. (1 year, 1 month ago)

William @ #81915: As for the "81871"-comment. The only thing this grid and mine has in common is one similar (but not identical) category, and for that we shared three very obvious answers (three of the first four answers that most people would think of, if asked to list things sharing that quality). I have two answers not used in the other grid, one of which is used as a red herring. Some categories, say bodyparts or people that share a name, are so general that anybody can use them. I stand by the originality of my grid. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Dark Knight @ #81769: The H in Nicholas is not silent, it is voiced. With the C, it makes the ch sound as in Christmas, chemist, chianti. You could have used another word, or claimed that the S is silent (as it would be in other languages). (1 year, 1 month ago)

Dark Knight @ #81889: Awful. I love a difficult grid but this is impossible. How can we possibly know your opinion of cartoon cats? Also, the football teams group does not accept football as a group. Awful stuff, hang your head in shame. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Buzz Aldrin @ #81852: Arcadian humble apologies. I hoped they weren't interchangeable I tried to think... Coffee line and traffic wouldn't stop you doing homework.

A @ #81903: Far too much ambiguity. "Red flag" and "white flag" are also idioms (probably more common than "black flag"). There are red beans, black beans, and white beans. There are red, white, and black hat hackers. There are black and white keys on a piano. "Heart" is more associated with red than black (think playing cards). So even though it was apparent early on that three of the categories were "red, white, black", this hardly narrowed it down at all. I also didn't feel like the idioms with "all over" worked for me, but this might be regional / cultural. (1 year, 1 month ago)

weegieman @ #81889: Sorry, way too hard. Zero fun. (1 year, 1 month ago)

William @ #81889: You've got 180 seconds to decipher 16 clues and get them in order. That is 10 seconds per clue. I believe the constructor did not think about time-constraints when putting this together. If you want to screenshot this grid and think about it on your own time, it could very well be fun, but be aware that it realistically speaking impossible to solve it in 3 minutes. (1 year, 1 month ago)

weegieman @ #81880: Nice neat grid. Not too difficult but scores high on the fun scale, which is what I'm looking for. Good job (1 year, 1 month ago)

Sophie @ #81861: Nice grid but definitions didn’t get accepted like “day” wasn’t accepted for may group and “beds” for king group. Maybe could add extra on acceptable answers. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81572: While I wasn't able to put a connection together before time ran out, I did figure out enough to correctly understand how this worked. Unfortunately, time was running out by then. The idea for this is super brilliant. The solving, on the other hand, could use some more time on the clock. Keep up the good work. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Arcadian @ #81852: Funny but not the most logical. Got two but some of the homework and late are kind of interchangeable (been in education long enough to have seen most of them) and you'd have to luck out totally. (1 year, 1 month ago)

bemusedspec @ #81861: JSYK, the "may" group didn't accept the correct answer (this might be a problem with misspelling linking terms), and re: the "king" group, I'd recommend considering other possible linking terms than just the one you're thinking of if they're roughly synonymous. Like, Cat - Dog - Rabbit - Weasel could be linked by "mammals," but they could also be linked by "animals" or "have fur" or whatever. Otherwise, nice and breezy! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Superdolly @ #81825: The first references to "spatchcocking" appear in 18th-century Irish cookbooks. It's been said that "spatchcock" is an abbreviation of "dispatch the cock." In other words, to kill the chicken. (1 year, 1 month ago)

ColdOnionGravy @ #81705: Definitely sense a theme here, but it feels forced tbh. Two separate fill-in-the-blank categories where it's the exact same word but slightly different categories seems needlessly confusing.

msicism @ #81671: "Baht" isn't a made-up word. It's the currency of Thailand. Having said that, the homophones rely not only on the non-rhotic (British) 'R' sound, but a very specific British accent. Not everyone would pronounce "Lisa" as "Leaser." (1 year, 1 month ago)

Daniel @ #81678: Very good grid. I feel that "can be preceded by a colour" is potentially too vague. If they were all the same colour that would have made the grid perfect in my opinion. The stripes one was a really clever connection that took ages for me to get and it was so satisfying to have got it. (1 year, 1 month ago)

orchard91 @ #81686: This grid is not really a unique solve. Twain can be sorted under '19th century novelists' while Eliot can be sorted under the 'pen names' category.

ColdOnionGravy @ #81428: If you're genuinely scandalized by this, I fear for you living in an increasingly swear-happy world. But... yeah, this one's aggressively immature and distinctly not clever. The winky face after the "ice hole" explanation just made me feel embarrassed. Also, the capitalization gives away one of the groups immediately. (1 year, 1 month ago)

ColdOnionGravy @ #81544: As an American, we most certainly use "bun" and "roll". You know... bread. I think "bap" might've made it slightly easier for an international audience in place of one of the others, since it's thrown around a fair bit on Great British Bake-Off. Or maybe not. Anyway, fantastic job with this grid! The capital cities in particular were satisfying to figure out. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Matt Harmon @ #81561: Elements should accept metals. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Candice R @ #81544: The bun/barm/cob explanation doesn’t make sense. It says “used to describe a bun/barm/cob”. Used to describe what? I’m American so we def don’t have this but the explanation didn’t make sense (1 year, 1 month ago)

goldenred @ #41724: Great puzzle. I'm pretty sure folks who aren't religious have watched a tv show or a movie in their lives and can figure that one out. :) And a pry bar, for those who don't know, has the same function as a crow bar.

moj @ #81395: Nice. Was the 'Just ___' deliberate? (1 year, 1 month ago)

Don @ #81395: nice, you probably need a better link between anagrams than "common words", Hooligan comes from the Irish name Hoolihan (as in Wes Hoolihan recent PL player with Nowich city). Boycott comes from Capt. Charles Boycott a land agent in Co. Mayo who was ostracised by the locals in the land wars of 1880s. His case became well known in the London press. The is a good wikipedia article. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Peter @ #81385: I am Australian. "Aussie" is not counted as unflattering or rude in any way. We call ourselves that. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Peter @ #81369: "States" is technically correct. You can't narrow it down. States is correct. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Micharn @ #81348: A fantastic grid, challenging but enjoyable, I cheated as I only got two of the groups in the 3 mins, so went back and restarted as I really wanted to find all of the connections! (1 year, 1 month ago)

MTKF @ #81348: Fantastic! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Mick Stupp @ #81192: Excellent, great fun! Thank you. Love your use of the country clue! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Ry @ #81382: Poor grid. Used Simon twice. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Ry @ #81377: As with the other grid, free does not sound like three. Use of 3 groups from previous grid. Don't replace free with won because won doesn't sound like one either. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Ry @ #81374: My only issue with this grid is using free in the number homophones group because, well, it's not. Free only sounds like a number of you can't say three correctly. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Dude @ #81377: Entered "Texas Hold'em" and was declared wrong LOL. Not sure if "Free" sounds like a number - "Won" would have possibly been better. (1 year, 1 month ago)

clob @ #81387: did not accept "shuttle" for NASA space missions, nor did it accept "constellation" for constellations. also dunno how intuitive the airport code one is to the average player but it felt like a bit of a silly category (1 year, 1 month ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81308: Looking forward to another Whimsy74 grid! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Liquid Ice @ #81348: I'm not going to lie, I backed out and came back in to reset the timer so I could have the fun of figuring it on my own. Just needed a little more time. Excellent grid. 👏 (1 year, 1 month ago)

Peggy @ #81294: Albums by four different people doesn't make sense. You could just have easily described the group as 'four random things'. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Dasein @ #49709: Easy but genius (1 year, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #81374: The philosophers were easy and obvious. They are just normal general knowledge. They are certainly much better than really niche subjects like pokemon! However, reusing the other groups is very disappointing. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #81377: Nice. A good mix. Easy but enjoyable. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Richard Badger @ #81373: Nice grid (1 year, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #81374: You've reused two groups from your other grid, reused an idea and put in a incredibly niche group that surely nobody will identify (although stupidly easy to spot the German names) (1 year, 1 month ago)

Wye Knott @ #81348: Luvvly jubbly (1 year, 1 month ago)

Ry @ #81353: Yeah, south also works for the north group, and the 'first 5 letters of alphabet' group is a real stretch for me. Like that's not really a thing, just something you've arbitrarily made as a group. (1 year, 1 month ago)

SG @ #81305: Great grid, love the clue explanations! "Precede" means "come before", so those are "words that can be preceded by" or "words that follow". (1 year, 1 month ago)

grooop @ #81359: F****** waste of 3 minutes (1 year, 1 month ago)

David @ #81365: You don't book tickets to a hotel. I think the word that you're looking for is reservation. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Kristin @ #81369: Nice, fun grid. 😊 I understand the very specific category for the Ohio group, but I don't think it's needed. Just use the first part of it. (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #70699: Sometimes, deceptively simple grids catch me out more than the others do! Great work (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #70539: I'm screaming (with happiness) because I knew what all the connections would be but couldn't work out which number Samurai was, so I was clicking away until the last 15 seconds on the clock... Nice job! (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #70050: So fun! I entered war of the roses as the connection and it gave it to me, I'm so happy (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #72642: Very fun! (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #70045: This was extremely satisfying (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #70535: This was beautiful. I didn't realise they were homophones for numbers at all, that was a nice touch. And the red herrings were gorgeous! (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #71835: This was great fun, I was a bit miffed that I didn't realise the connection was British Bands specifically, but that's the game. Thanks for making it! (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #76404: Very nice... I thought for sure that I'd remembered to select strawb rasp blueberry and avocado together as fruits, but apparently not :( (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #77524: I liked this one a lot! The types of finishes was a nice touch and I was surprised that I got the selection right on, because I'd still been thinking of makeup/nail polish. Great grid :D (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #79425: Nice! (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #80961: This was realyl satisfying, I especially loved how the cat breeds one ended up being a red herring for the egypt one- after continually clicking spynx, I learned there was such a thing as a ragdoll cat! (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #81113: This was very satisfying (1 year, 1 month ago)

yogurto @ #81287: This was really fun! Caught me out a couple of times before I worked out which one was a red herring for which group :D Total score: 8 (1 year, 1 month ago)

bboy @ #81291: thanks (1 year, 1 month ago)

Peggy @ #81194: I third the previous two comments. Plus, the added letter isn't even the same one each time. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Shwick @ #81328: Ham and turkey are both sandwiches and both thanksgiving foods so this grid has multiple solutions. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Shwick @ #81337: You need to accept just "synonym" for a category made up of synonyms. I don't know what words you put in but I could've put down "words that mean upscale," "luxurious," "fabulous" "expensive," "luxe," "costing a lot of money," etc. and been right. It's satisfactory if someone knows they mean the same thing as each other (1 year, 1 month ago)

heatchman @ #81348: My favourite grid so far (1 year, 1 month ago)

kit @ #81337: Very clever! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #81346: Sportswear category a bit unfair. most of the words vague (cap, top, jersey) enough that the answer clothing should be enough. (1 year, 1 month ago)

scouse mouse @ #81348: Brilliant - didn't quite get there in time - but really enjoyed it (1 year, 1 month ago)

Ry @ #81339: Enjoyed this. Once you figure out what's happening it is easy enough but still clever and makes you think. Good grid 👍 (1 year, 1 month ago)

William @ #81333: "Did you forget that "Hand" is also a body part?" I see what you mean, and you are absolutely correct. There is a whole separate category of "CONTAINS a bodypart", that I did not think about, when I made my category. I never do "contains"-categories, but only beginnings or ends, so I simply didn't think about it. My bad! I apologise. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Trix @ #81339: Daniel, I would take the point. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Sophox @ #81333: I've just now noticed where you've gotten confused. Did you forget that "Hand" is also a body part? (1 year, 1 month ago)

Sophox @ #81333: Crocodilly is correct, this grid doesn't work unfortunately. Of course Forehand and Backhand are interchangeable William, how can you not tell? They're both tennis shots and they both contain the same body part. Why wouldn't they be? (1 year, 1 month ago)

Daniel @ #81339: Literally my only issue with this was not allowing "fencing" as an answer for the fence one. Otherwise a genuinely spectacular grid (1 year, 1 month ago)

David @ #81348: Heat was the hardest. Great grid, thanks. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Steve @ #81345: Its a bit funky You shouldn't really have used the duplicate words where if you randomly choose the wrong 'version' but the correct group it's tagged as wrong (e.g. the April & Cameron issues)! I'm not even really sure what the Cameron grouping represents ? (1 year, 1 month ago)

Freddgar @ #81345: Ca has Cameron in it ? You might want to rethink the answer (1 year, 1 month ago)

Jason S @ #80978: I enjoyed that board! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Dude @ #81146: Upon giving this 4 stars, I noticed that Stone and Pound could be swapped. I'd suggest that you change one of them. Also it's too bad that I have to rate grids before I can examine them. Just doesn't make sense. (1 year, 1 month ago)

stockers @ #81265: Thanks very much for the feedback William and GridPest! I enjoy the mental exercise of coming up with grids even more than solving them, so expect to see some more in the future! On reflection, you're quite right, near homophones is too loose, especially if you throw regional pronunciation and specific terminology into the mix! I often find niche knowledge lines in other grids, a reward and a nod to those who have the knowledge or have it on the top of their tongue, and Futurama trivia is my specialist subject! I could easily make a fiendish grid for it with plenty of trip ups, but I'll leave that for another time ;) (1 year, 1 month ago)

Claire @ #81247: Good grid with sufficient red herrings to make me think (1 year, 1 month ago)

William @ #81265: You asked for feedback, so here goes. The Ska-line and the Tang-line, both perfectly legitimate, though I personally prefer to add more than just one letter. Like pants, dog, stand and ground, you can add... The Fry-line was too niche for me, but I don't mind there being a single niche line in there. There usually is a niche-line on Only Connects own walls, so why not here? The Mussel-line; the concept didn't work for me. Homophones are always hard to get under time-pressure, so near-homophones is not a suitable category in my book. 3 out of 4 perfectly fine lines should be considered brilliant for a second attempt. You get four stars for the grid and a bonus star for requesting feedback. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Open letter and open fire are not common phrases like the other two, there were many other groups that weren’t actual answers and taking a letter off for words for buying when there are so many of them and the letter could have been taken off from anywhere is nonsensical.

clairebee @ #81160: thanks all! Found this, a good explanation of why it’s pronounced Sinjun English forenames or surnames which include the the St or saint usually entered the English language from French many centuries ago. Examples would be StJean or StClair. They were originally pronounced the French way - then lightly anglicised to to sin-jin or sinclair. (1 year, 1 month ago)

clairebee @ #81160: hi Don, I think it’s because it’s pronounced that name when it’s a given name, not a surname. (1 year, 1 month ago)

PMJ @ #81122: You're right...that the song was first recorded by The Exciters. That was in 1963. In 1964, Manfred Mann released it version, and I believe that was the one that gained the dominant airtime. In most references, they're listed as the vocal group. The 'obscure references' were to several commenters who post in the 'Connections' subsection of the comments to the NY Times Wordle review column, Some folks are dedicated in solving regular PuzzGrids that I put up here. The categories 'MM,' 'KP,' and 'Documents,' as well as the 'Heather' clue were designed as tributes to them. I know that makes it a rather parochial PuzzGrid, but I think they all got a kick out of it. Are you a commenter there as well? (1 year, 1 month ago)

Also the 'put money in account' is a very generic thing, and people wouldn't really say they were stashing money in an account, nor would people say they are reserving money into an account.

Perhaps this is fun for you, but do you have to post this to a public website? Not only is this puzzle too personal to be impactful to anyone but you and people that know your dogs, but the answers are iffy too. I put 'toy' for the dog toys answer. It was incorrect.

millie @ #81068: It is debated whether the caspian SEA is a sea or a lake. I don't think something should be put in a group if there isn't consensus on whether it fits the criteria of the group. Also, most people know it as a sea, as it is called the caspian sea. Perhaps instead you could use Chad, a famous lake in africa, or another one of the great lakes like Erie or Michigan. /nm (1 year, 1 month ago)

Beware 5G @ #81053: Listen up, folks! Mr. Tickle, yeah, that guy, he's more than quizzes. Ever notice those "arms"? Synthetic, I say! A pawn in the elites' game. Tears? Staged for control! His journey? Fabricated to distract. Wake up! His laughter-inducing "questions" are coded messages, unveiling hidden truths. The arm gimmick's a diversion from global schemes. Each "quiz" is a puzzle, exposing the puppet masters' web. The armless-to-armed narrative? Just another plot twist. He's the jester, decoding reality's enigma. Tears and joy? Emotional manipulation! Don't you see? He's part of it—unraveling society's tapestry while slyly knitting a new one. Open your eyes! The conspiracy unfolds, one laugh at a time. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Peggy @ #80961: The Sphinx found in Egypt is spelt with an 'i'. When you spell it with a 'y' as you have it's a breed of cat. And niece is incorrectly spelt in the grid. (1 year, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #80906: I made a booboo on the juno/augustus etc category - said the link was that they were all roman gods. I mean technically that correct because JC and Augustus were both deified after death but it wasn't what you were looking for... (1 year, 1 month ago)

Jimbo @ #80908: “Small injury causers”? really? Nice grid but that’s not the way anyone is going to phrase that connection. And the words don’t just relate to injuries - can all happen to a car, for example (1 year, 1 month ago)

amy_evelyn @ #80898: Ncuti has technically played the part, he's filmed ~10 episode as the Doctor already and a very short clip of him as the Doctor has already been featured in a trailer, so I thought it was reasonable to include him. But you're right, he hasn't officially taken over yet (1 year, 1 month ago)

Steve @ #80898: Oh to be pedantic - but has Ncuti actually played the Doctor yet - I thought he was due to take over from David Tennant in the 60th Anniversary Special at the end of this year? (1 year, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #80848: Nicely done, thanks for making! (1 year, 1 month ago)

Peggy @ #80892: Think you're getting confused between different breeds of animals and collective nouns. If you want to use poultry and cattle signifying different types of poultry (e.g. Rhode Island Red chickens, and bantams) and various breeds of cows (e.g. Jersey, Belted Galloway), then you can't use herd and flock which are collective nouns for various animals, e.g. cows, and sheep or chickens (amongst other) respectively.

JonBob @ #80778: Don't think I agree there. "Sweet" by itself is not a member of that category, but "sweet potato" is.

spice @ #79781: Might be a lack of knowledge on my part but not sure how buttery=short. I guessed it based on maybe "shortbread", which has butter in it, and the other clues in the category, but as far as I can tell the "short" in "shortbread" refers to its crumbly texture not its butteriness.

PinkTea @ #79639: @David It should have done, are you sure the spelling was correct? If its not that, might just be a glitch, take those extra points mentally :) (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jenni @ #79608: Very clever (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #79617: Why wasn't countries accepted? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Puddles @ #79627: Some really good stuff here! But it's De Niro, not Deniro. And Scorsese wasn't accepted without Martin (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79619: I do know that about you. But if you were a horrendous speller, it wouldn't faze me. (1 year, 2 months ago)

GridPest @ #79617: Not sure why countries wasn't accepted? (1 year, 2 months ago)

fleur @ #79619: I guess it's possible that there was a typo. I clearly know how to spell it as evidenced by my post here. (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79619: I don't know why SUBSTITUTE wasn't accepted. It was coded to accept both SUBSTITUTE and SUBSTITUTION. And I just tried it before going in to add some additional code. It worked. Perhaps you misspelled the word as you entered it. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79566: Three great categories and the one category was just way too out there (Smee?) (1 year, 2 months ago)

Puddles @ #79625: Nice grid! However, those are books of the OLD Testament (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79582: Too niche for me. (1 year, 2 months ago)

fleur @ #79619: Substitute was not accepted for the obvious group. You might want to add it. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79587: Fiendishly difficult! Wow! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79593: You did it again. So close to a beautiful grid, but with a wonky category thrown in. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jonathan @ #79620: Enjoyed this one, thanks! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79595: Almost perfect but who is going to know the streets in Aurora??? Everything was great to that point. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79604: Very interesting! (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79619: They were. I was too old to have Children's Television Workshop in my childhood, but my son--then almost right out of infancy--and I would regularly watch Sesame Street and The Electric Company. With Electric Company, we often watched in the morning and then the same episode again in the late afternoon. He learned so much, and I enjoyed the humor and spirit...and caught the occasional 'adult' joke or reference. Very sly of the writers and producers to hook parents as well as kids. Sponsorship by numbers was a brilliant idea, as was the exercise on 'which of these things doesn't belong?' The latter was, in a way, a forerunner of PuzzGrid,. And there was much, much more. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79605: Almost a perfect grid. Would have loved all four to be color categories. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79607: Loved the "ant" and "news" groups. The others didn't really work. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Karla @ #79619: Smacking myself in the head for not remembering the Sesame Street gang. Those were the days! (1 year, 2 months ago)

PinkTea @ #79602: @scouse mouse Fair point, grid has been edited. Thanks for the feedback! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Richard @ #79574: Fantastic. I couldn't get beyond thinking January 6th was Insurrection! (1 year, 2 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #79602: cheesecake cake? Think that clue should be cheese. Nice grid though apart from that (1 year, 2 months ago)

Hairy Grape @ #79608: Absolutely brilliant. This is not only grid of the day material, but grid of the week. Perfect puzzle that links in such as this! Bravo again! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sharon @ #79586: Cation? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #79559: As said before - tweak your explanation to the answer for flags. You are likely to cause huge offense there! You could use British isles, teams that complete in the 6 nations? Also complementary colours are also opposites (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #79555: Very suggestive (1 year, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #79603: There’s a spelling mistake (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #79542: I'm not too such about the one where animals are found. If your swapped out shelter it could be animal habitats. But then it would take away the rolling stones red herring (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #79535: I'm trying to figure out the other connection. Is it due to age and relationships? (1 year, 2 months ago)

sib @ #79589: Nice one! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kristin @ #79587: I enjoyed it. Confetti with 46 seconds to go. I would have preferred a country to Maui, but that's just me. Good red herrings! It took me a while to let go of Beethoven as a composer. (1 year, 2 months ago)

stehngi @ #79608: This was very fun thanks (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kristin @ #79607: Loved the ant group. Andperr is correct; watch spellings in the trans group. It's transCend, translate (no double s), and transit (no double s). (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sango @ #79410: Dang the names one was in front of my face and I couldn’t see it. Hard for sure but I enjoyed it! (1 year, 2 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79472: The difficulty level was higher on this one for me. (1 year, 2 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79594: This one had me smiling from the get go with the category that had the Ferengi. Thought the connection on the ship one was going to be air. (1 year, 2 months ago)

clairebee @ #79604: when I finished this, I thought, “the puzzle maker must’ve spent a long time working on this.” :-) A similar idea to today’s puzzle of the day, I enjoyed both of them. (1 year, 2 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79606: Yay, confetti!! (1 year, 2 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79595: So close to confetti. Just wasn't familiar with the one place, so couldn't get the connection. Otherwise it was great fun. Had 19 seconds left at the end, so it was a nail biter. (1 year, 2 months ago)

LIquid Ice @ #79596: I think the four letter abbreviation would have been nice to check for on the one. 🐢 (1 year, 2 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #79604: I spent several days finding good words to go around the blanks, so that the blanks would have a deeper meaning when combined together. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79287: Come on KOBold, this really is a poor effort. Terry doesn't even know where to start. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79580: Well Terry learned something - Togo commonwealth wow missed that on the news. 4 letter countries was a poor category but enjoyed the rest. (1 year, 2 months ago)

M.mouse @ #79589: Please accept receptacles (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79581: We share that preference, which has only grown greater as time goes by. We--my wife, my brother, and I--saw The Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden on that tour that later involved the tragedy at the Altamont Speedway. The opening act was Ike and Tina Turner with the Ikettes, and it made me uncomfortable enough that I probably admired Tina Turner even more than I might have as her own career progressed. There more grist for that thought in the movie "20 Feet from Stardom," which is a documentary about backup singers.f. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed the diversion back into the past.

Toferino @ #79559: Green, white and orange, as a flag of Great Britain? I think the Irish might have something to say about that!! The Republic of Ireland is part of the British Isles (which is a geographic reference, not political), Great Britain is the main island of the British Isles that comprises England, Scotland and Wales. A very important distinction. (1 year, 2 months ago)

clairebee @ #79518: fun idea for categories. One thing, as said, before, rulers might work better than queens, Catherine the great wasn’t a queen, but an empress, which is a bit higher than a queen. also, politician might be a good addition. Thanks for the puzzle! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Peggy @ #79534: Think of the username of the person who made this grid; add in current politics, and you may get the drift of the grid. Prepare to waste three minutes of your life you will never get back. IMO. (1 year, 2 months ago)

William @ #79534: Some of the links and some of the linking-terms just express a political opinion instead of describing something that is objectively true. That we are living in 1984 and that Bilderberg is "pulling strings" is not objectively true. 1984 could be linked with say Brave New World as examples of dystopian literature, or with Elephant Man as examples of John Hurt-movies, but you use it to link with your own beliefs and not some fun little factoid that is objectively true.

Kat @ #79237: An awful typo ridden nonsensical grid. Utter waste of time. (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79216: I think you're being entirely too literal. Puzzles are the linking concept. Riddles and puzzles don't have to be games per se. If you look at all 4 categories, two are clearly related as problematic things looking for a solution or definition or clarity and two are modes for achieving some structure or organization . It's two sets of pairs. The theme was PuzzGrid: a tension between the structureless or unsolved and the structured or solved. I admit the grid isn't perfect, but I stand by the concept.

Terry Ratball @ #79138: Terry believes this to be worthy of grid of the day. Good Red Herrings and good categories all the makings of a great Saturday Puzzgrid (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79106: Brilliant overall conception for a PuzzGrid grid! The categorization may be a bit loose, but it's well worth it for the impact of the whole. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #79114: Good grid. But the connection definitions let it down. As the grid is defined as British then British spelling should be used. The advice on using the shortest form or routeof the word really helps as fruit and fruits are both correct. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #63003: Liked the toupee grouping (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79031: A nice challenge for well-read movie/concert goers. George Harrison I knew to be connected with "My Sweet Lord," but the 'God' seemed wrong--it's not in the song's lyrics to my knowledge--so that threw me for placing the item. Can't you just drop the 'God'? (1 year, 2 months ago)

mudri @ #78829: I don't like how, say, Galaxy and Mars could be swapped around and the connections would be the same. (1 year, 2 months ago)

J @ #79040: I second Terry Ratball's comment. The concept was there but most of the links were tenuous or far too obscure, if not non existent. (Never heard of a screw fix, but maybe I'm just not familiar with that phrase?) Do please make another, though! You're definitely on the right track! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79040: Terry really loved the concept. But it does leave a bit to be desired. 1) would be nice to see the answers fully written out such as in the birds category. 2) some very tenuous links such as Diana Prince and Prince Charming - I assume this wasn't the beloved princess Diana, but maybe the not so beloved Diana Prince from the pornography channels. Terry did however enjoy the grid and the concept, please do make another one of these one day, Terry would love to come back and rate 5 Star! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Ed4 @ #79040: A 2-stager. Looks like a good grid to take offline and try without a time limit. Some of the references are perhaps too obscure. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Ed4 @ #79031: Wasn't sufficiently familiar with enough of the references to do well on it, but liked it anyway. Just about the right amount of obfuscation. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #63230: Really nice! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #79026: You have Microsoft's point, you may want to edit that to say "Microsofts power" Terry got stumped looking for "powers" (1 year, 2 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #78907: Reward not allowed for prize line? Weed bud??? Good grid on places but need to think more about definitional scope for it to be enjoyable (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #10000: Wow. Perfect grid! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #78993: Great board, thanks (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #79010: I can and will. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Tim P @ #78982: Also for the homophones category, removing the first letter forms other words. (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #78990: I thought the LAB category was fine. But the DRY category is a bit messy because two connections are both distinct two words combined as a usable phrase (DRY ICE and DRY SPELL), one is is an attributive adjective + a noun (DRY WINE), ant the final one is a single compound word (DRYWALL). I'd say its a great first attempt! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #79000: Descriptions WAY too prescriptive! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #79010: Pleased to say I got all of these. Albeit the countries I didn't specifically think of having blue and white flags. Only feedback, are the capitals needed? and can you change to USA and Cayman Islands? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Z @ #79018: Good grid! Fun categories. For the brilliant category the answer of synonyms doesn't work (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #79020: Good Quality, Good Round up! Easier one for a change! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78980: This would have been a 5* for quality as I loved the homophones group. So original and funny. The order group was great too. But I had to dock one for Harry Potter. The shame! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Cajun @ #79010: If anyone gets the Fahrenheit one, I'll be impressed! Nicely done (1 year, 2 months ago)

Zafrie @ #78988: A toughie!! But enjoyed it (1 year, 2 months ago)

Garmonbozia @ #78088: 'Genre' should maybe be added to one of the lines. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dannyj999 @ #78990: This is my first grid. I'm still getting a feel for what connections are "fair" and what are kind of a stretch. Why was the lab grouping questionable? I didn't know if Dexters Laboratory was a cheat because it isn't commonly referred to as "lab" the way a Chemistry lab would be. Chocolate Lab could also be a stretch but I liked it as a red herring for White Chocolate and Chocolate Chip. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Ibzy @ #79003: test comment (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78084: I guess technically it is Centre but they are all rugby positions, I liked the grid and It didn't spoilt it for Terry. Worldwide even in the USA it is spelled Centre when talking about sports positions just as an FYI. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Alison @ #78864: ☝️likewise (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78994: Me too. The meaning of the word as-written has nothing to do with the connection, which throws me. And even a four-letter word has over 100 permissions. Thoroughly acceptable, they do it on the show all the time. But it's not my favourite. (1 year, 2 months ago)

gergo @ #79003: (1 year, 2 months ago)

bert @ #51811: shame "the chase" isnt accepted - but ho hum (1 year, 2 months ago)

Arcadian @ #78996: Good enough grid but the connection for the films needs to be broadened out (a suggestion to improve this). And just maybe having a name along with words (for heart) is a bit confusing. (1 year, 2 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #78994: I always struggle with the 'change a letter' ones. (Not a criticism, just an observation.) (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #78977: I liked this. Fun to play. Well done (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #78981: This was fun. The walls got me. But i enjoyed it. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #78979: Another good grid. No silly clues, good general knowledge. Fun to play, which is the point really. Well done. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #78935: Yes, good grip, fun to play and sensible general knowledge clues - I am so sick of Pokemon, X-men and soap characters. Well done. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Caitlin @ #78981: I loved the wall connection, very clever! I found the hidden measurements but my connection wasn’t accepted- I think you misspelled the word measurement in the explanation! Should be an easy fix. Thanks for the fun puzzle! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78986: Good fun. Thanks! 😊 (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #78970: Loved it! Bob Dole approves. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Moondog @ #78975: So clever. I got the 'dis' words and the Lewis Carroll inventions. I even managed to imagine Pictionary from dicture, but completely missed the rest of the group and failed miserably on the reverse movie titles. I regret the reversed portmanteaus most. I might have been able to see that if my brain was fully engaged with my senses. Oh for a few more minutes, or a few more braincells! (1 year, 2 months ago)

clairebee @ #78981: very clever connection. Got everything except for the connection of the flounce set, those kind of things words within words always elude me (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sophrosyne @ #78982: Tough one! Though I believe you mean “homophones” and not “homonyms” for the relevant category. :) (1 year, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #78957: Nice. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #11: Wow visiting the archives here, Terry got 2 groups and then got stumped. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78971: Oregano is a herb not a spice Coriander is a spice not a herb. I was really disappointed the colours were colours, these could have been colours of Peppers instead to tie up the theme (red pepper, orange pepper, black pepper, yellow pepper etc) Terry still enjoyed it, but will play again tomorrow after improvements have been made!

KObold @ #78930: Slightly disappointed with myself, I'm glad it doesn't feedback players performance to the grid creators (1 year, 2 months ago)

KObold @ #78939: Great grid, can't fault it. Thrown off my many a red herring I was thinking money and water etc. Do agree mascu could be replaced as it's not a standalone word maybe by "credit" "clothes "border" "bread" or "front" for example! But thanks for making (1 year, 2 months ago)

KObold @ #78929: I can't say it was for me, a little tooooo niche. However for the right audience I can see this working. I won't be shaking your hand as that knowledge was not there. I think I'll stick to puzzle building! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Don @ #78898: nice (1 year, 2 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #78939: Hi Steve. Thanks for the feedback. The idea was that they were all one-word answers, not two words, so that was meant to be the easy one that gave the group away! But I can see how it could be confusing in hindsight. Doing grids is harder that it looks. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Lynne @ #78893: Great grid! (1 year, 2 months ago)

emma @ #78917: Agree about the countries. Also, how is cold a synonym for cold. I said adjectives relating to low temperatures and got marked as incorrect. Also, I said that the purple group were towns/cities in the USA - which they are - and I got marked as incorrect. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78898: Very very enjoyable. Thanks! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78899: I didn't think they were too obscure (maybe cow...). Some might argue that Ox and Wood can be swapped, but I think it's just about ok. 👍 (1 year, 2 months ago)

Steve @ #78939: Not really sure you should use "Mascu" as it doesn't have any standalone meaning ? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78899: Fun! I spent ages chasing Chinese-Zodiac and rivers. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #78908: A bit hit-&-miss for me. I'd not heard of the Elysium thing, so enjoyed finding out about it, but the Duck is quite obscure these days (47 years later). More importantly, Elysium can be swapped with Heaven (equally obscure), so there isn't a unique solution. Nice ideas though. Thanks! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78921: Concept is good - so points there for you. However Moscow and London are both a Capital City and have hosted the Olympics so this means the grid has another solution. I would say a lot of cities have an NBA team, but I guess it works just doesn't get Terry excited like the other categories do. (1 year, 2 months ago)

I'm not remotely into drugs either, but I thought all of these were pretty well-known slang names even among us wholesome types :-) (I've seen all of them come up in The Times cryptic crossword, for example!) It never occurred to me that anyone would find these terms offensive, sorry. (1 year, 2 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #78890: Great grid!! I got the Borrowed connection just because I got the theme of the grid after the first three. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78855: I didn't have a problem with the wind storm idea that some of the others have mentioned. My concern is that instrument was not a correct answer, when it's right there in the given answer. It can be edited with the link that was emailed. Just add a comma and instrument.

acewoking @ #78847: two "add/remove" letter ones was boring. And having 7 Dinnerladies characters was unfair (1 year, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #78835: Really good grid. Nice variety of groups, and fun links, with nothing too obscure. My one quibble is that ticks are arachnids, not insects, and 'arthropods' didn't score the point. (1 year, 2 months ago)

weegieman @ #78865: Excellent, well thought through and fun to solve, well done. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Evolve @ #78865: Kudos! I usually hate these 1 or 2 letter grids, but this was fun to decipher. I should've gotten 10 points but missed one point because it did not accept "streets" (1 year, 2 months ago)

Richard @ #78864: Tuck group can also be diving. Also didn't take repeated words (1 year, 2 months ago)

Haverwench @ #78792: Phlegm for humor was very shaky. All the others went with the *word* humor, and not even with the same sense of the word. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78805: Nice grid. Definitely deserving of Grid of the Day. (1 year, 2 months ago)

clairebee @ #78863: dang! that was fiendish. One note, for those who are interested in this kind of thing, suet is actually something very specific, it’s the fat around the kidneys on cows and sheep. Tallow is the rest of the fat, and lard is the fat from pigs. Leaf lard is the fat that is around pigs kidneys. And chicken fat is schmaltz. (1 year, 2 months ago)

clairebee @ #78865: very, very clever, thanks (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78865: Well if this doesn't get grid of the day I don't know what will. Even maybe grid of the week. Very unique concept, pleased to say I did figure this out and fell into some of the traps too!! Good on you KObold! (1 year, 2 months ago)

lopez @ #78865: Great grid idea! Very clever, I had fun working this one out (1 year, 2 months ago)

MumRa @ #78855: Sorry but 'Wind' is not a synonym for storm. Being picky, a storm is Force 10 on the Beaufort Scale, whereas Gale is only Force 8 so, strictly speaking, they're not synonyms either. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #78752: Couldn't get the Anna connection. Good grid. Thanks! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #64865: Suggestions. Don't mix former colonies with current ones, such as bermuda which is still a British territory and Kenya which is its own country. Same applies with France you could have used Wallis and Futuna or others for french territories. Places likes Angola were Portuguese and cote d'Ivoire was french. Good idea just poorly executed in my opinion. (1 year, 2 months ago)

lopez @ #78783: at first I was annoyed, I was petrified. I couldn't work out 3 of the 4 groups. Then the time ran out, they grouped and I thought I like this. Thanks for a good grid ANDP. keep up the good work. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jesse @ #78777: I really enjoyed this! Two of the groups stumped me but were obvious in retrospect - definitely a sign of good clues. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sophrosyne @ #78719: Hey Calvin; thanks! I would attach screenshots if I could but don't have the function here, so I just encourage you to use your favorite Dictionary app, website, or old-fashioned book to learn more about the noun functions of these words. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Calvin @ #78719: Good wall. Wondering how Honda & Jeep are nouns? Aren’t they simply car manufacturers? If the part of speech mattered, then the actors names are also all nouns, and the people you tip are also all nouns. They also all have vowels and consonants in them, but I don’t think that’s really going to help anyone make a connection. Otherwise very nice grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jed Milk @ #78742: Lol what are crabs??? Never heard of these before. Is it a type of tree? Perhaps the kind that only grow in very warm climates. I'm from a more northern region myself, grew up about a 3 day dog sled ride from White Horse, Yukon (That's the largest city in the province).

Mss Ng Vwls @ #78766: I enjoyed this grid however I think the homophones group has to be linked in some way. Otherwise the connection may as well be "words". (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78760: Sorry, this grid needs a bit of work. Especially as a British grid. The solutions don't explain what the connection is. So you list who the actors play, but not that they are all actors in the Harry Potter franchise. The same with the Ron/Ronald one. It says how each are also Ron(ald) but not that the connection is they are all known as Ron or Ronald. And unfortunately it doesn't accept Ronald as an answer. The one where they all played for Lakers in 2010. Please remember this is labelled as a British grid. Knowing that they play basketball is fairly impressive for a Brit (I'd only heard of Kobe Bryant), to know what team and when isn't something most of us would know about the England men's football team. I do think with some changes and making it a little less niche it could be a good grid though. 😊 (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78734: I thought for the majority this was good. Not sure on the sounds of hitting metal though 🤔 agree with everyone gong is the instrument not the sound per se.

Rachel McBallman @ #78662: All of these names except for Yahweh are names for Jesus, and son of man is not a name for Jesus as a allowance than a name for him. The McBallman clan is not amused. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Rose @ #78619: Good but would be nice if you also accepted "tyres" as a spelling :) (1 year, 2 months ago)

fiona @ #78640: Rejected my connection of Hebrides because the setter mis-spelled it as ‘Hebrideas’ (1 year, 2 months ago)

Themed @ #78662: Emmanuel isn’t a name for God. It just means ‘God is with us.’ How is the ‘Lamb of God’ a name for God? It’s generally recognised, if anyone, to be Jesus. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #64262: Took me a few moments but got there (1 year, 2 months ago)

OnkelG @ #426: Well, this was tough. Mood was difficult, not keen on the sox connection. I think you have good potential but they need to be known by people. little too obscure I would say! (1 year, 2 months ago)

OnkelG @ #78659: Grid of the day I would say! Fiendish yet doable, with some great connections. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #77464: Well I enjoyed it, though Carrey is tough. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #26013: Well executed, old but gold. (1 year, 2 months ago)

cazza @ #78641: ditto re. Nessum Dorma. Fun working out the groups (1 year, 2 months ago)

OnkelG @ #78639: Airline code "TOM" likely not general knowledge. Lower case on 3/4 of the blues was a give-away. (1 year, 2 months ago)

AverageMoss @ #77322: Tricky. The paradox and pairs one seem obvious in hindsight, not that I got it but very fun. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #77888: Awesome, and fiendish I would say! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Terry Ratball @ #78639: I liked it. though i would uncapitalise the capital ones (as its obvious they are a connection based on this rather than knowing why) also if you capitalise the first letter of the azure group :) Good concept (1 year, 2 months ago)

AverageMoss @ #77890: Difficult. Did not do well but enjoyed it all the same. Seeing them grouped made me go dang. (1 year, 2 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78652: Agree with Sib though, other than that spot on. (1 year, 2 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78652: Thoroughly Enjoyed (1 year, 2 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78653: Clever, stumped by the £ one, but very clever connection! I think even with a 10 minute timer I wouldn't have got it. Hats off to you! (1 year, 2 months ago)

AverageMoss @ #78634: Very fun and quite difficult. Well done! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sib @ #78652: The Harry Belafonte song is called "The Banana Boat Song" NOT "Day-O" otherwise good grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #78616: Some nice red herrings, but maybe a too much emphasis on the tv/film/culture/arts themed connections? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sarah Learmonth @ #78650: Going on a bear hunt - not VERBS (1 year, 2 months ago)

R @ #78643: Relatives and hoovers should be correct group answers imo. Good wall overall but I was frustrated to not get 10/10 on a technicality (1 year, 2 months ago)

SuperT @ #78640: ditto (1 year, 2 months ago)

IanB @ #78640: Wouldn't accept 'spirits' for the drinks group, otherwise nice grid. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jack @ #78643: Please could you accept relations or relatives (1 year, 2 months ago)

Marty @ #78644: The solution involved two TV shows I've literally never heard of. I think with PuzzGrid you have to base the puzzle on facts/connections that count as 'general knowledge'. For me, this didn't. But thanks for making it anyway. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78634: Ivory? really? ah well (1 year, 2 months ago)

Gwen @ #78637: Arc should be spelled Ark (1 year, 2 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #78618: Very good! The Ring group took me far too long to work out the connection - thank goodness that section wasn't against the clock! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Superdolly @ #78610: Good grid with very grrr making overlaps so excellent for the old grey matter (1 year, 2 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78616: Grand, some good herrings (1 year, 2 months ago)

IdentityCrisis @ #78365: Could have sworn I played this one a while back by a different creator. I guess a copied idea of a great puzzle (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kelsey @ #67323: It was a great grid but I feel the connections answers are a bit too specific - I missed the first one because the connections are only "about the person" and there's no way to indicate that is the answer being looked for. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Emily @ #78572: This was inaccurate - a panda is not a bear and rabbits are also rodents. Other inaccuracies are also present. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78570: Quite difficult. Niche knowledge. Used the singular for one of the connections and it was counted wrong, even though it was correct. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #78585: The head line accepts neither EGG nor EGG. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Liquid Ice @ #78476: Really liked this grid. Well done. Made me think a little. For one of the connections, I used the singular form of the word in the answer, but otherwise got it right and it didn't count it as correct. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #78587: Nice and easy straightforward grid (Note to self) look up walking stick Got it by default 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 2 months ago)

OnkelG @ #78512: Sorry, I just started and hadn't figured out the tagging. Sorry also about the Hot Pockets; I couldn't edit the UK Union Flag to a German flag, and Hot Pockets are sold here on the continent (they're made by Nestlé). (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78280: Generally good. Technically pharmacology isn't a branch of medicine. It's something doctors have to learn but it's more the realm of pharmacists. Similar with dentistry. Could try anaesthetics, orthopaedics, trauma, nephrology, respiratory etc. Also the egg group is also things that can be cooked (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78269: Surely most of the planets group are also Roman gods and Venus from the gods group is also a planet, so Venus could be swapped with any of those and still make a group. With Pluto being a dwarf planet it would be better form. Or changing the gods a bit to make them all female? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kristin @ #78289: I like the ideas, but there are too many cases where you can switch letters and still have a valid solution. For example, C can be swapped with F, E or D. B also can switch with F, E, or D. Or, more complicatedly, Y replaces O, O replaces E, E replaces either C or B, and C or B take the place of Y. (1 year, 2 months ago)

PMJ @ #78249: Thanks for the feedback. I'm just learning how to encode the description so that all acceptable answers are accepted.

Omegaman @ #78192: Didn’t accept island? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Martin @ #78259: Got all the connections but 'money' and 'synonyms for happiness' not accepted. Might want to consider expanding. Good grid though. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #54010: Didn't get the river answer. Thank you for the great grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Martin @ #78281: Not sure why 'metal elements' is not a valid connection for one of the groups! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78259: Even Gustav Holst ignored poor old little Pluto. However I continue with my confetti. Thank you. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78259: Ahhh!, back to confetti. Thank you (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #54308: Good fun. I was so sure that KLM was a red herring, ie couldn't possibly be THE airline that I gave up on tgat connection even though I got the group (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mlo @ #76698: So frustrating that the stone fruits weren't together (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #13910: Thanks (1 year, 2 months ago)

J @ #78212: Lagos is a city and municipality at the mouth of Bensafrim River and along the Atlantic Ocean, in the Barlavento region of the Algarve, in southern Portugal (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78271: Not bad, but methinks you should reconsider what you want as accepted answers. E.G. plurals is a no-no. Put "question," for one line but quack quack ooops, no. Having said this it was a good grid and I thank you. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78273: Oooh, another spoiled my confetti run with unaccepted answer. Boo!, However a very good fun grid. Thank you. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Pauline @ #78251: Good grid. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #78274: I was on a confetti roll, only to be denied by your accepted answer for St Helen's line. Boo, 😀. Thank you, I liked! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Evolve @ #78249: I think you may have filled out the PuzzGrid wrong. For the "ball" category, balls should have been accepted. For the "plaintiffs" and "defendants" category, it will accept either "landmark" or "famous" as answers. I answered SCOTUS and that should've been accepted. (1 year, 2 months ago)

MumRa @ #78230: Good selection of apparently vague clues. Liked this a lot. Thank you! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Evolve @ #78237: Sorry, but this PuzzGrid seems dishonest to me. Except for the "Little" group, no one should be expected to solve the others in the time allotted. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jaybird @ #78216: Stain was really interesting! Never seen that before. Nice one (1 year, 2 months ago)

Poobear @ #78226: Exactly (1 year, 2 months ago)

duel_lingo @ #78159: @Brookfield But head and foot aren’t organs, are they? (1 year, 2 months ago)

nixel @ #78226: Lovely simple grid. Seems to be something wrong with one of the connections though, even when I type it exactly it doesn't give the point. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78211: Lived the cured set. Really did not see that. Only bit I didn't like is the surnames. A real jump to assume you were referring to Christopher Wren and Peter Finch in the same group as two singers. That said, I suppose of the most famous Christophers Wren and Robin are both up there.

Dom @ #78159: Brookfield, that’s the whole point of red herrings? Good grid! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #78190: Nice grid! (1 year, 2 months ago)

KQuinn @ #77963: It’s not fun when the categories are all obscure or not common knowledge. Turns it into a trivia game. Melons you can’t get at a grocery store. Glam bands that aren’t all widely known. You’re out of luck if you’re not a melon connoisseur or glam rock isn’t your thing. It just makes it impossible unless you’re a trivia junkie. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #78191: Love the monopoly group! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #78193: Hard but good, enjoyed it! (1 year, 2 months ago)

A @ #78210: Nice grid! As constructive criticism, bamboo doesn't fit quite as well in its group. It is pedantic but bamboo is a grass (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dilophosaur @ #78209: Fun and challenging! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #78200: I got one group by not knowing anything in the group and therefore assuming they went together (1 year, 2 months ago)

Richard @ #77776: Too niche! Unless you're from the area (1 year, 2 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77961: I had a go at trying brie, cove, blue, and white as a group (1 year, 2 months ago)

M.mouse @ #78129: Why not accept Dr (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #77908: I could see where you we going, but the answers are way too specific, (1 year, 2 months ago)

M.mouse @ #78165: Please accept cosmetic (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #78017: Just for fun, you could have had the the first line as names of women who were neither in Beatles song titles, nor First Ladies! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #77961: Cove and Bay, which are natural formations, are not really the same category as Wharf and Dock, which are structures. You could change either pair to the opposite pair's category since none are red herrings. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #78147: Great puzzle! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shane @ #78150: You need to expand your definitions (1 year, 2 months ago)

Pauline @ #78128: Good concept on the grid but needs better formatting on accepting answers. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #484: I loved the overlaps which made for a trickier puzzle. Surprised at all the complaints. I enjoyed it and the lower-case letters and misspelling of discus did not detract. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #78182: Omg! First look, was nope! Then started to see the connections! Great grid! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Documentalista @ #78180: A very good grid with two bright red herrings. Can I select the fox instead of the rabbit? …the long channel is not spelt correctly. But then you also probably spell it spelled😉 (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #78188: Like it (1 year, 2 months ago)

Brookfield @ #78159: A kidney stone is very much a thing, which means that kidney, head and foot are interchangeable in their groups. This is a problem. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Calamity Jay @ #78179: Lovely grid-not bad. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78128: Echoing that things are marked as wrong when correct. But a good grid all in (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #78124: I'm fairly certain the nursery rhyme is Incy wincy spider. At least in the UK. Also, for some reason some of your connections are not accepting my answers, even though I typed in exactly what was in your explanation. So may need a little bit of tweaking. But a good one with those tweaks (1 year, 2 months ago)

Robert Chase @ #77961: Yes they are (1 year, 2 months ago)

clairebee @ #78161: fun, thanks! A suggestion, it might be more clearer if it’s written, rickshaw, rather than separate words, capitalized, so it reads as a name, that one threw me off a bit (1 year, 2 months ago)

KM @ #78162: saw the anagram at the last second :) nice one (1 year, 2 months ago)

KM @ #78165: Nice! liked this one :D (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kristin @ #78146: Some nice ideas, but would be better with some fixes. In solfege, the most common soelling is SOL, not SO. With your spelling, SO and DO can be swapped, thus there isn't a unique solution. More obscurely, TI is also a two letter word for a plant, so it 5also can be swapped with DO. Thanks for submitting!

But it was hard to grow up in the US in 70s and not know about grimace, the hamburglar, and mayor Mac cheese. (1 year, 2 months ago)

claire @ #78032: thanks, Phil, could you explain what you said again? I’m new to making these, and still figuring it out. I picked Mamie and Melania since those are pretty specific names (I can’t I can’t think of anyone other than the first ladies who have that name) Why Ina and Paula? I was just entertained by the idea of a giant Venn diagram with that little overlap in the middle, the first ladies and Beatle songs. I accidentally posted it twice, somehow, I managed to post it under British, (and US first ladies seemed a little unfair” I think I used Prudence for that one). is there a way to delete a puzzle? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Jamey @ #78128: Lovely grid, thanks! Something a little odd about with the marking, as I gave each link in the same format (just giving the missing word) and 2 were accepted as correct, but the other 2 were marked incorrect and seemed to need the word "songs" as well. (1 year, 2 months ago)

paige @ #78019: X - Truck is more commonly known worldwide than Engine, i'd say. Cable is also both (as a brit myself I would say both) Its a great grid, what a theme and it ties together rather brilliantly. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #78076: Fans of a certain TV show might spot a theme. Hoping someone hasn't had the same idea already... (1 year, 2 months ago)

Trix @ #78072: Haven't seen these for a while - the clearer graphics help. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #78011: Mostly decent, but the dress section is a bit of a mess. Cocktail must precede dress to make sense – i.e. you can't say "I'm wearing a cocktail tonight" – while frock never precedes dress, and isn't a type of dress anyway! I see it's your first grid, so a good first attempt and keep trying. (1 year, 2 months ago)

philbd @ #78032: Great categories — I've been wanting to use the Beatles one myself — but I think it needs a properly distinct fourth category to be solvable. Because I can't help myself, I gave it a think, and "Martha / Julia / Ina / Paula" (Ina and Paula replacing eg Mamie and Rita, or any other two non-overlaps) is the best I could come up with.

Mike @ #77961: right* oooh that typo really burns me up (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77961: Enjoyable puzzle. Wasn't sure what words I'd need for the "water" connection but I wrote the write ones! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77963: Enjoyed this puzzle! Not sure about the melon category, a bit esoteric for me, but can't hold one category or my lack of horticultural knowledge against the puzzle! Especially one with Poison AND Warrant in it!! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77970: I think the "Pin" options are a bit of a stretch. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77994: Really fun puzzle! Last one was tricky too, didn't get it! (1 year, 2 months ago)

jess @ #77975: Nice! :) (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #77940: Good fun grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bits of corn @ #77984: Great grid. Just the right level of tricksy but solvable. If I were staying up late with a sick child I would enjoy doing this puzzgrid. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77981: Some very specialist knowledge in there making it tough - good grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77940: Knowledge test - no red herrings, but good grid. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Ro @ #77955: We had - growL, teaL, seaL and earL - leaving queue, tee, eye and you. So not unique groups! Otherwise fun. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77949: I'm fairly certain it's a joker in a pack of cards, not a jester. Also car but?? Car boot maybe? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77947: I'm not sure the up take, take off connection works well in a grid. Would be better in Round 2 not round 3 as a complete the sequence. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77944: I think that some of the connections are a bit loose. For example associated with Ross from friends. Also the food name one. There is a mixed bag of niche characters. Sorry, not for me. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77979: Great ideas and fun links, but dance and dancing can be swapped with each other, between the line and square groups, which means there are at least two equally valid solutions. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Crocodilly @ #77979: This one doesn't really work. Dance, dancing, and up can all be used by both square and line. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77928: I was on a Maggots wild goose chase. I'm not good with fandoms and could only think of slipknot. (1 year, 2 months ago)

claire @ #77943: (1 year, 2 months ago)

nate @ #77963: very good puzzle. i was able to work out the tastes and the rock bands pretty quick, and then spent the next 150 seconds staring confused. the 'pop' category is on me for not getting it. the melons seem a bit opaque. but hey, its a fiendish puzzle all right! 4.5 stars (1 year, 2 months ago)

Joanna M @ #77943: Very nice puzzle! Satisfying solve, none that were unintentionally ambiguous. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77822: Clues could use some more allowances. Seems silly to have one question Football related, another that is sports related, and then another that is Football related but doesn't count that way. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #7380: Great grid, love Blackadder (1 year, 2 months ago)

Julia @ #77952: Great job! Just a note though, if you’re referring to the TV show, it’s “Mock the Week” not “Mock OF the week” (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77874: Maybe too many overlaps to figure out what is wanted from each group. Certainly very challenging. Just to add that for the actors it's very much Doctor Who not Dr Who. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #71622: Love this (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #27931: 10/10,although I guessed DaVinci as a "baddie" (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77758: Good puzzle. "Noonday" wasn't an issue for me at all! "Echo Words" however... (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77777: Any puzzle that makes me want marshmallows is a good puzzle! Happy 77777! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77815: I enjoyed this puzzle, though I don't think "moper" is really a commonly used word. Another clue in that spot would make this puzzle better. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77831: Nice puzzle! One of the groupings could use some extra answers. I enjoyed it! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77957: Nice puzzle! One of the connections answer needs extra phrases, but I enjoyed doing this! Sixers represent!! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Grid @ #77957: fun one! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77858: One of those grids where I even had to Google the explanation of one group so I understood it. I liked the other connections though (1 year, 2 months ago)

Pete @ #77880: This was excellent. I was totally fooled by numbers (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77851: Nice puzzle. A little hard to put into words what the connections were. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Profiterole @ #77940: Terrific fun 😀 (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #77936: My k students would have identified the correct connection for those shapes. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #77943: Enjoyed this one! Only 1 connection i couldn't make (1 year, 2 months ago)

Richard @ #77536: For the Jack group, I had fictional uncles as each are TV or film characters (1 year, 2 months ago)

Caitlin @ #77932: Loved this one thanks! I felt so smart when I spotted the anagrams. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Caitlin @ #77942: I feel like American Presidents should also be an acceptable category for the first group! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mv @ #77938: Die Hard- Yes. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dr Ricky @ #77914: Love Tintin being the red herring for Tintin (1 year, 2 months ago)

philbd @ #77942: Small typo — "Acre" should be "Acres" to match the rest of its category (it's correct in the answer key) (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #77919: So many red herrings. Brilliant grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77943: Nice puzzle. Groupings are a little strict but that's forgivable. Got 'em all right and had fun! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #73152: Good puzzle (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kristin @ #77943: Nice. I enjoyed it (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77889: Any puzzle with Star Trek and Sabrina in it wins. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #77930: Very very good. Well done (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sara @ #77887: Cleveland is misspelled in the grid - should have another 'e' in there. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77936: Sounds like Mike has higher standards and expectations for groupings, especially when the grouping is based on a shape and the items in that grouping aren't always in that shape - making the grouping useless. It's me. I'm Mike. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77919: I do not enjoy anytime the connection is something missing. Maybe that's just me. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77524: Now this is a fun puzzle! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77896: They are all groups. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77897: little miffed at that one category (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77898: you wildin' out bro (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77902: Requires specialized knowledge. Which is never cool. (1 year, 2 months ago)

weegieman @ #77930: Yes, nice one. Challenging without being inaccessible (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77903: Very much enjoyed this puzzle until the last category. It would be nice if the puzzle answers weren't from a different universe as the one we live in. (1 year, 2 months ago)

MT @ #77897: Well done! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77904: Did not enjoy this one, and that last category is too specific. Bad time. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #77936: One of these categories is really dumb, and I found connections that are far more interesting and actually unique, because let me tell you, a lot of those things aren't actually what the category lists them as. Quite disappointed. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #76182: Stop being so specific on the connections. (1 year, 2 months ago)

lilactree @ #77917: Wouldn’t accept “gingers” as an answer for the Rupert Grint group. Other than that, a fun grid! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #77815: I enjoyed this grid. @amy our city is famous for its delta. The people that live here, refer to the water as the delta. By definition you are correct, however most view the bodies of water and waterways as "the delta" (1 year, 2 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #77911: @David: Good job it's not being used on the real show, then! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Neil @ #77928: Found it - solved it (but then two of those groups which might be tricky for some but not for us!! ) I didn’t think I had fully solved it and answered the three letter group thinking I was being facetious - and got it right !! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #77936: Quite a bit of red herrings (1 year, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #77815: Delta isn't a body of water! It's sediments near water. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77933: At last the charity game I needed. I could play this and feel intellectual again just for 3 brief minutes. I just missed out on a perfect score on the anagrams of classes. And to be honest I still don’t understand them. I thought they were phonetic shortened races. Knom for Gnome and DraB for Dragonborn. But hey ho, more than 2 points, AND I UNDERSTOOD MOST OF IT. What a delight. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #77934: Got 1 group and connection. Good explanation (1 year, 2 months ago)

Claire @ #15: Great grid, thanks (1 year, 2 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77904: Never look at the comments before you look at the puzzle (1 year, 2 months ago)

the puzzler @ #77915: wow did the red herrings take me out (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77919: Another day another puzzle, this time I actually did respectably for me. I identified a group of trousers early on, despite not hearing of one of that group. I then managed to snaffle up some Mediterranean islands. However, one tricksy group in particular caused me great difficulty, what in goodness name is a Gozo? Some Japanese treat i’ve not heard of? a lower tier greek god of myth? It matters not, I did not get their group or recognise them. Here I stand bested by the Muppets. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Grimby @ #77904: Terrible. Worst grid I've ever played on here (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77842: Agree with the others. You need to work on your definitions/accepted answers. Gospels for example. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Fairy @ #77835: Could you expand on your Australia connection explanation? You state who each person is, but not what connects them. I'm guessing it's related to exploring Australia or maybe having places banned after then in Australia, but it's not clear. I thought the connection was places in Australia. But was clearly wrong. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77916: Quite good, but the wolf in Jungle book is Akela, not 'Arkela' so I wasted ages looking for other boats, or modes of transport hidden in the words. Also, what on earth is Face Cake? (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sandy Santana @ #77506: Loved it! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77851: I got credit for solving one category I did not; And then got no points for an answer that should have been there. Still not a bad grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

jho @ #77842: grid is easy but accepted links far too narrow (1 year, 2 months ago)

Bedford @ #77770: Very difficult (1 year, 2 months ago)

Richard @ #77826: I hate you!!!!!! Another superb grid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77770: This was some fresh cut of torture. I spent the whole time trying to get the correct groups of synonyms for End and ran out of time. On group identification I identified none correctly bar the only one I was obsessing over at the start. I will now continue my day with a new enforced sense of inferiority. Many thanks. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #77833: Super grid. Thanks (1 year, 2 months ago)

feathers @ #77841: In order for for this to be fairer and more enjoyable, it should be the same letter within a given group that changes. For instance, 'Witchcock' and 'Herwig' immediately jump out as directors with the first letter changed, which makes 'Leg' as 'Lee' and 'Alien' as 'Allen' incredibly unintuitive for the solver. (1 year, 2 months ago)

Not new @ #77827: Depends on your age I think Tim. Some people remember bringing their goods (rice, curry, beans etc) to the counter to be weighed on the scales by the grocer, who then wrapped it in paper. He then rang up the sale on the register. (1 year, 2 months ago)

BexSweenz @ #77673: Great, I love your grids! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Sandy Santana @ #77762: I really like it. It was difficult but I like the chance to identify the groups. On the off white one, I wrote colors that are off white and it said I was wrong. The answer was off-white colors. Or along those lines. I think it should recognize all the words and not require the precise phrase. I also wish it wasn’t timed. But I really did enjoy it.

claire @ #77763: hi rhonda, Thanks! These were pretty challenging ones, but I’m going to make some that are a little easier. One funny thing, I hadn’t realized, a cassowary actually has a little tiny tophat, or at least it looks like it. My sister thought that that was part of that category. One thing you can do is take a screenshot, and then you don’t have to rush (1 year, 2 months ago)

reinhart @ #77661: bit easy (1 year, 2 months ago)

Rhonda @ #77763: Thanks for posting these. Yours are far more challenging than the NYT. For your first grid, I figured out 2 categories, this one only 1, partially due to not knowing C was a bird and not knowing one of the characters. I think I have only missed one set in NYT. since the first day. I look forward to doing better with yours (hopefully) in the future. I agree with one comment below, I don’t like the time restriction, I get more stressed when I have a clock ticking away than a limit on options, on the flip side, I do like the ability to get some wrong in the beginning and have not been strategic enough with those opportunities so far. Looking forward to trying my new strategy with yours tomorrow!! (1 year, 2 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77766: Great ideas,and I solved it in under a minute, but by pure luck as there are at least two more equally valid solutions, which isn't how the grids are supposed to work. Wear can be swapped from the homophones group to the rivers group, with Wye taking its place. If you changed Wear to Ware, the grid would be valid (1 year, 2 months ago)

Polly @ #77721: Loved this! Tree one was v clever (1 year, 2 months ago)

Kallahan the Magnificent @ #77766: I originally got 0 points as all I could see was rivers but never once got the right combination. My sidekick in the second round gave me a clue to watt wye wen hoo and harry potter so I could finally get my correct set of rivers. The only part I felt I legitimately won, was that I did get the four categories that could be followed by Eye. So in actuality I would have got 3 points max, and none on the matching game.

M @ #77621: Agree with katrobrosi (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #77635: Good grid, but I agree with Shane, that's pushing it a little. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #77617: I liked this especially the ref to the crystal maze Richard O'Brian a legend saw him as the child catcher in Chitty as well of course the genius behind TRHPS (1 year, 3 months ago)

wilma @ #77486: very difficult but enjoyed! got two of the groups (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77546: You have 4 groups of 4, but the puzzle element is missing. To improve your want to have at least two (ideally more) that fit into other groups. You also want the way they are connected to be different. Take May from your grid. May can be a month, a prime minister, last word of a TV programme starting David Jason (darling buds of may), an anagram of a vegetable/tuber (yam), precede the word fly etc. Good options include anagrams, words within words, words that follow/precede a common word, synonyms, as well as words that fit a category such as yours do. Good luck constructing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Grace @ #77570: Thanks for the feedback - always welcome. Score means 20 years so have added that in the explanation. I’ve changed ginger to a different veg - even though ginger is a vegetable but recognise most would call it a spice. I’ve changed the wording on carp. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Myname @ #77575: Beatles and dogs were unknown to me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #77597: Very good. Simple but lots of overlap (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bina @ #77604: Solutions not unique. Collie could be swapped with Labrador and/or Alsation and, for those who watched Eastenders in the 1980s, Golden Retriever is also interchangeable with these. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Keith @ #77593: Only Hades and Hermes are Greek Gods! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Flippz @ #77543: Hi, I like the grid, however, I would swap out Marshmallow because despite fitting the connection, all the other words feature the body in a more meaningful manner (and are, in fact, composed of the word itself, and one other). I was left wondering how the hell 'Marsh' goes in with the other words. That said, I can't think of a good replacement off the top of my head, so Marshmallow might still be the best thing to put there anyway. (Optionally, something that starts on Cloud? Make it names of objects visible in the sky.) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77589: Nice, logical, simple grid, though not a quick one to solve. Pity "misspelled'' wasn't accepted for the "commonly misspelt" group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Keith @ #77542: Carbonated beverages is incorrect! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Aitch @ #77570: Some great ideas, but a couple of potentially broken groups. Score isn't quite a metric of the group mentioned, and ginger is typically known as a spice. Looking forward to your next one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #77543: Fantastic grid by the way, only one I didn't get was the RR group which is a bit embarrassing since my grandad worked for them for 40 years haha (1 year, 3 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77464: Tough but good. Very clever with the red herrings. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hggg @ #77574: Never seen alien. Great grid though (1 year, 3 months ago)

Buzzards @ #77527: A good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #77570: Score is a number, but does not specifically refer to time any more than to any other thing. Ginger is more of a flavouring than a food per se. Carp means to complain, but not necessarily to go on about it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Matt B @ #77571: very easy, good warm up (1 year, 3 months ago)

AE @ #77562: Sorry but this is just low effort. The game is not just to list items in a category. You need to include red herrings and crossover items. You also need to add some key words to the possible answers. Maybe work on improving your existing grids before submitting a new one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Psammy @ #77543: Thanks Keith and Will - I tweaked it a little thanks to your feedback :) Glad you enjoyed it, weegieman! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77544: Think you mean followed by (1 year, 3 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #77558: I did the same as QuadrAlien, for the size group as "synonyms of small". I used "states of sadness" for the other group, which worked. Remember to use the smallest portion of any linking word, to match to the player's answers :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

QuadrAlien @ #77558: The links are a bit restrictive - I'd gone for "synonyms of small" which turned out to be "size", then "sad emotions" for "sadness". (1 year, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77501: Very elegant! (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #77543: Nice neat grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

JM @ #77535: Another good one - it took me a while on the foodstuffs... (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sam @ #38037: I typed TV Detective for the obvious category but wasn’t accepted. Turns out that these all have TV shows (even if not originally) so should be accepted. (1 year, 3 months ago)

MumRa @ #77532: Oh I really like this one! Not sure too many non-Brits - or those under a certain age - will get the Jimmy group though! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Claire @ #44185: As a science buff, I really enjoyed this grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

AlanDale @ #77512: Enjoyed this and the difficulty level, it was really enjoyable. I should have scored full points, but the form of words needed to describe on connection is really hard to get right. I don’t want to give away which one to spoil it for others, but I’m sure you know which one I mean. But nevertheless a great puzzle, thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

MumRa @ #77510: Most enjoyable. Really liked the Slinky category :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #77466: Great grid, the Bastrop group needs attention for the accepted words. I got the group perfectly, but despite using a (correct) linking word for all of them, it wasn't taken. Remember to use the smallest possible portion of any linking word, for them to be accepted. It's a good shot though, 6/10. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Erica @ #39823: The problem with palm & olive is that you could switch their places in the completed grid and still have 4 valid categories. Palm is oil and tree. Olive is oil and tree. So there isn't a unique solution. It's funny when people try to correct someone without understanding what they were saying. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scowrer @ #77468: Happy fourth of July. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JF @ #77450: good grid, enjoyable red herrings, but check your keywords. I typed in quark, synonym and superhero and got marked wrong! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nick @ #77459: Too difficult and obscure. Gave up. (1 year, 3 months ago)

M.mouse @ #77347: Sprite, troll etc are not synonyms, they are very different magical creatures (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #77464: Apart from Queen, your definition of "famous" needs a little revision. (1 year, 3 months ago)

KyriGidsson @ #77435: Feels good to solve the grid without knowing what the heck Cluedo is. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #55579: Nah ... zootroplis ... really? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77400: Excellent idea. I think that there could be some work needed on a few bits, like the opposite of forest (Savannah? Urban area?) Also the opposite of Broads could be shrinks so maybe interchangeable (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #55618: Hmmm.... hashtag pigpen? Nah (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #77247: Yeah, I agree, definitely allow "Don't", otherwise pretty good (1 year, 3 months ago)

anvil @ #77459: Yeah, too obscure. Lost interest, so I don't know what the links are. (1 year, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #77441: Very good, though I didn't like that 3 of the weapons started with an S and then there was a D. Could have chosen a 4th "S" weapon, like Shotel or even Sabre. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77390: Evil. I found one group, which I felt fairly pleased with and the connection for a second. Excellent idea and well executed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

KyriGidsson @ #77411: So "marketplaces" instead of "online retailers" doesn't count, but "seas" instead of "seas mentioned in the Bible" does? (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77459: I presumed that it's impossible, and did something else for three minutes while awaiting confirmation. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #77411: It didn't accept "river", only "rivers". (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mv @ #77450: Quarks. Yes. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #77456: Excellent, good difficulty, fun (1 year, 3 months ago)

Don @ #77411: Easy as pie to complete the grid, but you've insisted on far too specific connections. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77451: May the relevant authority outlaw anagrams, and banish their abusers to the wilderness. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77445: Depressingly impossible. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alison @ #77173: I think your given answer only really applies to ‘city’ from that group. Enjoyable grid, though. Thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77439: Most mediocre grid in quite some time. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #77446: Not convinced by the children's book characters (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #77445: Rather too abstract. Managed to guess one and that turned out to be purely by chance - little fun - wasted 3 minutes of my life! (1 year, 3 months ago)

fi @ #77435: My husband worked at a vet school, chickens can most definitely fly. Otherwise a good grid, i think a footstall is the same as a foot stool. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #77437: No the synonyms definitely don't work I'm afraid (1 year, 3 months ago)

cazza @ #77393: The actors were challenging to sort, but I managed (1 year, 3 months ago)

cazza @ #77406: challenging but fun (1 year, 3 months ago)

andperr @ #77418: Agreed with Kristin--I got the group but never would have guessed the reason. Went for "possessives in film titles" because I could think of 3/4 and hoped there was one I didn't know for the last! (1 year, 3 months ago)

cazza @ #77437: Interesting connections (1 year, 3 months ago)

PM @ #77343: Best grid on puzzgrid by far! You’re genius (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77377: The idiom is not "burn" off steam, it is "blow" off steam. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77407: Army, Empire, Dynasty, and Regime are not synonyms. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #77400: "Forest" is not the opposite of "Forest", and "District" is not the opposite of "District". (1 year, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77407: "Army" is not a synonym for the other three in the group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77383: I was caught out, or stumped, by Broad. (1 year, 3 months ago)

kit @ #77359: Brilliant! Really clever. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nick @ #77385: Very good, made u think. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77373: Very good. Just got it in time. The glass group was tricky! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nick @ #77389: Think the music one should be given for identifying that they are all groups or musicians. Bit picky to only give it for winning Mercury music award. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Claire @ #77344: Not sure about the last group. Trying to get a connection between the location of massacres feels wrong (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tim Milk @ #77382: An absolute banger! We savoured every moment (haha) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Christine Mazzotti @ #77393: Enjoyed this. Lots of names but I managed to unscramble and got full points. Well done. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #77400: For lotr you need to include middle earth as a viable answer. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Milk @ #77385: "The Streep one was very clever" - Cheese "I'm good." - Buttermilk "Another quiz asked us about Wimbledon, this one was much fairer." - Cream "Slay queen!" - Milk (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77379: Great grid Not seen this done before, well done You win 10-6 Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Joni @ #77359: Excellent grid. The newer grids don’t hold a candle to those of yore. But this has given me hope…. Thank you Trix (1 year, 3 months ago)

M @ #77388: Unfortunately this is not a unique solution as mum and sis are interchangeable. In addition, SF is just one word. Good crossovers though (1 year, 3 months ago)

Scubadog @ #77359: Heavy on phonetics (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dave @ #77103: Connection answers not inclusive enough. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Scott @ #77377: Very charming! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pete @ #77375: Nice grid. American one was fun, and probably more you could spin in there (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #77359: Yours are the best grids (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #77368: Just the right level of tricky (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77348: With emergency services having both Paramedic and Ambulance seems a bit odd. You wouldn't have both firefighter and fire engine or police officer and police car. You could have Ambulance technician or emergency medical technician and paramedic. Otherwise a great grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77326: Your puzzles are very good. Just the right level of difficulty (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77343: I liked this one. The missing letter was inspired. Very satisfying (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77369: Good one, couple of nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77335: I may be being dense, but I don't get the Auburn one. I get penny and autumn but not Harry or Utah. Otherwise some good ideas (1 year, 3 months ago)

VCM @ #77359: Best grid on here that I can remember. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fliss @ #77349: Loved this (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #77350: Enjoyable, nicely themed (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pete @ #77359: I enjoyed that one :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kornél @ #77360: Loved it (1 year, 3 months ago)

Operalover @ #77360: Nice easy grid to start the day! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77295: Good ideas, and relatively easy to solve,but not great logic to the clues and there isn't a unique, valid solution to the wall. For example, Horseradish and Rape are types of brassica, but Brussel isn't, while purple is just an adjective that fits into the name of some varieties of brassica, and so is interchangeable with 'green' in the beans group, which means there are multiple, equally valid solutions to the grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77325: I think roses can be most colours. And cabbage can be red, so you could potentially swap these and be correct. Otherwise good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #77029: Ted Dekker what? This is supposed to be a medium grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #77347: Good one, nice balance of red herrings and crossovers (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #77336: Didn't accept women's instead of girls'. And, I agree with Confused. Otherwise, a nice grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Laura @ #77335: Good grid but the correct spelling is Eleanor not Elanor. 😀 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77303: Some work to be done here with spellings and accepting precious stones along with gems and gem stones. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hamburger @ #77340: Nice grid but having two 'Iron's spoils it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77291: Have to say I'm not a fan of the ent group or the stick. I think it's just the connecting word being able to go before or after for stick. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77323: Good one. I got most of it. I think Jude is a boy's name in this context. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pauline @ #77324: Agree with David, your answer criterion are too restrictive. (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #77274: I agree about the australian connection (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #77324: So, sesame street is not an acceptable answer, and neither is desserts (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #77337: I think you classified an hard or fiendish grid as medium. Ends in -ery was not accepted because apparently they rhyme! Either reclassify it or have less ambiguous clues. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Peggy @ #77333: Please correct the spelling of Eleanor in this grid, too. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #55697: Excellent stuff. Solved it but only just. Lovely crossovers. Thank you for your time in putting this together for us to enjoy. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Peggy @ #77335: You need to correct the spelling of Elanor to Eleanor. (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #77303: gems are also called precious stones. (1 year, 3 months ago)

beandip @ #77265: good red herrings! I would say 'queen' works for sure because Dairy Queen never actually has had a queen for a mascot. The 'jack' is maybe because the Jack in the Box mascot is a clown named Jack? 🤷 Either way, great grid thanks for sharing! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #77265: Made Bob Dole angry in the good kind of way. Bob Dole approves. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mech @ #77265: Agree with L, the cards and mascots can trade Jack Queen and King, so there are multiple solutions (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bearman @ #77307: Excellent grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77284: The songs one and the children's TV need tightening up a bit. The children's programmes include the first word (fireman, sesame) and the last word (pig) the whole name (Arthur). You need consistency when it isn't the full title. Same with the songs first word (Yellow, strawberry) and second word (Jude) or both (Sun) (1 year, 3 months ago)

EB @ #76512: The clue answers are pretty common but pairing them with 4 colors is cruel to anyone who doesn't know the character names. You should have a separate category that includes only a couple colors if you want to make it tricky. (1 year, 3 months ago)

EB @ #76515: Sneaky doesn't really belong in that group. I had the same issues as others with the category answers being way too specific and the categories not really being connected in any meaningful way (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77273: Two of the connections are very obscure (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77270: Yes, 76 should be 78, so I didn't get the connection for that group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #77277: Loved it. I got it but it didn't accept Ramones. Would havce had 10My fault i guess... (1 year, 3 months ago)

Heather @ #77262: I said "ladies" and it was rejected -- using the plural is pretty standard for this kind of question so suggestion to make sure to include this option. (Gave myself the mental point anyway) (1 year, 3 months ago)

wouzzee @ #77222: Nice! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Finbarr Saunders @ #77231: Crikey! (1 year, 3 months ago)

wouzzee @ #77199: Ace and Joker are NOT interchangeable since Joker is not part of the "Bat family." (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bearman @ #56705: I don’t know for sure that it would’ve made a difference, but this American Jew never would have made the necessary numerical connection to Passover. Hard puzzle but very well made. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77224: Good one. I'm not sure about Nile though (1 year, 3 months ago)

Trillium @ #77210: Kiss row also contains boys nick names. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #77221: Managed to solve the wall with only the vaguest idea about one of the connections - a lot of unintentional clue with the obvious revered lower case and the shapes. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77210: What's a Scotch Kiss? Did you mean a Scottish Kiss? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #77199: Nice categories but as others have said, Joker and Ace are interchangeable which really goes against the rules. (1 year, 3 months ago)

IanB @ #77219: Needs a better explanation of the answers. The songs are linked to a particular artist, the characters to a particular actor, and I've no idea who the 'Trent' group are. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Vicki C-M @ #76745: Yeah, too easy this. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Vicki C-M @ #77199: Correct J, Ace and Joker are interchangeable between the two groups and therefore should be accepted. Shame. Good grid otherwise. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #77203: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Frankie @ #77207: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #77196: Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77201: Nice one. Fairly easy after you've figured out where 'du' goes. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #77196: Nice little grid, completed in 39 seconds. Thanks for sharing! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Onionbhajay @ #77178: I'll change the connection explanation to make it clear that the port group is words used to describe boats. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #77199: Great grid, love a red herring or two. (1 year, 3 months ago)

me @ #47080: Good medium grid. I liked the rollover group - amusing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Cee @ #77049: Enjoyed it, but frustrated by the lack of recognized terms for connections - I got them all right, but only one was recognized due to rigidity of accepted terms. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Shane @ #77199: Well, I liked it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #77204: Misspelt Morocco (Morrocco) which should probably be covered as it's a simple mistake to make. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #77207: Should be "Burr" not "Burro" for that group to work. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kristin @ #77198: Fun grid! Straightforward and nice. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77178: Good ideas, but port could swap with dock, or arguably, any of the words in the dock group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kristin @ #77201: Also fun! This time, I got them all. Nice grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77194: Nice easy solve, and quite good fun, but there's at least one mistake in the clues. 'Twos &' should be '& twos', and I've only ever heard 'Hoity-Toity' rather than 'Haughty Taughty', though that might just be a dialect variation. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kristin @ #77202: Very nice. You stumped me with the sand category. 😊 (1 year, 3 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #77204: I don't think the hat one quite works if it's BOWLER. (1 year, 3 months ago)

J @ #77199: Good grid but Joker and Ace can be swapped to make the same groups. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77203: Good fun. Pretty tricky, but solvable (just) within the time. Nice groups, with nothing too obscure. Thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mech @ #76670: @Josh i is not irrational but I did have the numbers as the following so I do agree the connections could be stronger 3 6 21 36 (divisible by 3) 2 5 7 11 (prime) (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77179: Same grid posted 3 times (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #77199: You could make the same categories in other ways (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bearman @ #77138: Very well done! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bearman @ #77138: Very well done! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bearman @ #77176: Glad you liked it, Mack! This was my first submission. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #77117: Square is the word that follows the words in that group but doesn’t work as I presume the singular isn’t included and only Squares is allowed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #55944: Yep - agree with Pluto, this grid could be better - given I have sifted the list for UK grids. Mind you, I see far too many state capitals too across these UK grids 🥸 and far too few county towns! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #77138: 👍 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #55974: Tosh (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #77174: You need to accept simply "colours" for the colours of wine category, not least because it should actually be rosé (with an accent) to be accurate for wine. Otherwise it just reads as rose the colour. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mech @ #77069: Loved it, I appreciate a 'themed' grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Slicineyeballs @ #76745: Decent one, though very easy. Should accept trainers really. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mack @ #77176: Loved this grid! Really satisfying to have figured out the plane grouping at the last second. The red herrings were great too. Thanks. (1 year, 3 months ago)

njc @ #77144: Sweet wall! Maybe use "*" instead of "-", as the site puts in "-" characters to break lines? Also, we forgive you! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Onionbhajay @ #77163: Have replaced "plagerise", thanks for bringing it to my attention (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77163: Nice one but you should change plagerise to villager or something like that (1 year, 3 months ago)

Matthew R Dalton @ #42770: "Ordinal?" In an "easy" grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77157: Lots of this makes no sense to me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Matthew R Dalton @ #55037: Very lame answers (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob @ #77163: Great grid, it’s plagiarise not plagerise, perhaps a word containing ale like scale could be a sub instead? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Friend @ #77136: Now I get it! Duh! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Friend @ #77136: What color does brew rhyme with? (1 year, 3 months ago)

DanTDM @ #77099: Wow! Fooled me! That was a FunOne (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob @ #77156: Nice grid but suggest swapping Norwich City who do play in yellow shirts for Wolves who play in ‘Old Gold’ which is not the same as yellow (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77155: Nice and easy one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alison @ #77144: Enjoyed that one. Maybe ascend/descend? (1 year, 3 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #77152: I think it's actually Alfa in the NATO alphabet (the 'ph' being dropped as it was considered confusing). Good grid, though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob Lindsay @ #77126: Really, really great grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #77152: To be picky, I'm not sure that 'heat' (a noun) is a synonym with the others, which are all adjectives. And humid doesn't really mean the same either. But good grid overall. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #77145: Pleased with a ten on that (1 year, 3 months ago)

Phil @ #77069: Friend - I think you're probably right, others have commented similarly, and for me coming up with the accepted terms was a difficult part of constructing the puzzle. What did you submit that was unaccepted? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kayla @ #47100: Oh man, I figured out the categories almost immediately but still only got one of the matches because I couldn't figure so many out. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kayla @ #38540: Cool concept but I resent you for bringing numbers into a word game. This is my safe space, how dare. /s (1 year, 3 months ago)

DTS @ #77096: Gandhi was indeed born in India, but he lived in South Africa for 21 years, and his formative years as a lawyer and a campaigner were in South Africa.

Kayla @ #39823: It's so funny when people comment mad that words go in multiple groups which is literally the point or this game would be only for school children. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Toferino @ #77119: Polar? Do you mean Polo? (1 year, 3 months ago)

LennyG @ #77105: Nice one (1 year, 3 months ago)

Toferino @ #77113: I think that it would be more correct to say that for the one group they are perfect squares rather than simply "square roots". Their square roots are integers, but you don't specify that. I'm a mathematician so naturally I'm pedantic! (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77083: Very good! Obs, 241 offer. Like Bogof. (1 year, 3 months ago)

J @ #77039: The last blue row are all countries. They might have red whit and blue flags but that is not necessary to group them And the red group are all groups. They may be britpop as well but my answers to both lines are correct (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pearl @ #77100: Excellent (1 year, 3 months ago)

Best puzzle solver @ #77100: Very good (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #77096: Wasn't Gandhi born in Porbandar, India? Not South Africa? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pearl @ #77086: There are red herrings in the categories. Sorry gridlington didn’t see them but no spoilers mate. (1 year, 3 months ago)

DTS @ #77091: I'm a film fan and one of the categories is perhaps too obscure (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #77088: Excellent for tip, top and tap, but was let down somewhat by the too group. Shame, it was building up to be brilliant. (1 year, 3 months ago)

DTS @ #77044: Excellent but not too difficult (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hal+Jam @ #77069: Nice. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mario @ #77092: Very good! Great stuff! I'm loving it! Keep it up (1 year, 3 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #77088: The too category didn't make sense to me. Everything else fell into place almost instantaneously. Might want to go back and redo the too group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #77087: Maybe there was a clever false group but this just felt awkward and disjointed (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77088: Neatly done, nice and easy grid Different and fun to do 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Veruca Salt @ #76578: nice job w/this puzzle, randomly got the four chinese zodiac symbols but couldn't figure out the connection :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77044: Very good. Just got it on time, thanks to Scuba (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #77090: Sorry - you can't have two entries that are the same or it just becomes a guessing game. Change one of your emperors and it will work. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77039: Duplicate (1 year, 3 months ago)

Peter @ #77090: Nice one (1 year, 3 months ago)

Trillium @ #77089: Nice assortment of events. (1 year, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #77086: The counties one was far too easy. No red herrings at all. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77044: Very good. The countries one was very clever. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77086: Very good. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77087: Who is Charlie and Lola? And why does a golfer need a hat? (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77088: Really liked 3 of the categories, but the 'too-' category didn't fit so well I thought. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Phil @ #77069: Kristen - what wording did you submit for the categories that you knew but didn't match on? (1 year, 3 months ago)

MumRa @ #77074: Please add more alternative acceptable words! (1 year, 3 months ago)

MumRa @ #77076: Very good and interesting homophones! Just one little error: 4 (four) in French is quatre, not quarte, so pronunciation doesn't quite work with that one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77088: BRILLIANT - best ever! I really enjoyed this. One of the categories was so hard. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #77088: Nice!! (1 year, 3 months ago)

JEREMY @ #77087: A hat?!?!? Exactly what I guessed @Alex Wojtak (1 year, 3 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #30982: Very good (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alex Wojtak @ #77087: I've got to be honest, when I got down to 'a hat' 'a single glove' and 'balls' I thought it was going to be things that Michael Jackson grabs. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #77086: Excellent (1 year, 3 months ago)

RedHotMamma @ #77086: Excellent - really enjoyed this one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pzzz @ #76741: What Disney movies end with beauty and story? (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #77013: Very clever. I like the distinction between 'start with' and 'meaning' (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77075: Easy, but pretty good. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77076: 'Son' really should be 'Sonny' to fit with the categories. And to me 'Cart' and 'Quatre' sound quite different. (1 year, 3 months ago)

steve @ #77074: bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwt (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77063: Some good ideas, but there are multiple, equally valid solutions to the grid. For example,Black could swap with White or Green (White Stripes, Green Day), Bee with Blue (Blue Öyster Cult). (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #77060: Nice groups and a fairly quick solve. The Alexandria group would have felt neater if all four entries had been wonders, or all four had been locations of the wonders, rather than there being two of each. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #77076: Excellent. I solved it with 12 secs to go. Just right. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob @ #77076: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #77074: Good stuff! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77066: Nice grid. The drone set got me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77069: Clever grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #77044: Nice grid. I had the osman group as words containing islands e.g. isle of man (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76745: Nice grid. The plural point was well made. (1 year, 3 months ago)

steve @ #77073: this kmach's mom you speak of sounds super bangable. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Obs @ #77060: Hi, I liked your groups. If I may just point out Giza, Colossus (and serpent). The spelling matters because people can assume they are anagrams or red herrings and get confused. (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #34436: No idea who the guy signing a milk bottle (?) is. No idea who the two guys are. No idea why you think the pool balls are what you say. I'm guessing we call the "ball" in badminton different things. One of the pictures doesn't load. (1 year, 3 months ago)

steve @ #77056: bedford try your luck (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #39502: The button category makes no sense to me at all. Have you ever seen a ball of string? Also, do you go out of your way to find aggressively British things? (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #47646: I specifically picked an Australian one hoping that it wouldn't have uniquely British categories. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Confused us @ #77047: What on Earth do nazis have to do with 7? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mech @ #77045: Those 'categories from only connect' are egyptian hieroglyphs... might want to accept that as the answer. (1 year, 3 months ago)

steve @ #76527: Obs, SamuelP & Jason - not nearly as easy as ur mom. (banged her). Bedford - I jack hammered ur mom last night. Dave - nothing like I satisfied ur mom last night. BallSaxbury - 17 seconds is longer that I last with ur mom. Bagsy33 - you're lit cluelss, huh? salmacis - shut up communist scum. (1 year, 3 months ago)

tiger king @ #77027: Best puzzle I played today! Really like the connection with Axe. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #77047: I'm not sure I get the Jack connection - it's not what he is at Manchester city. Perhaps Beckham or Beckham's daughter?! Challenging wall though - good job (1 year, 3 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77023: I forgot a certain word in CEAN (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #37982: "Mass" is not "to have weight". I see what you're going for, but the wrong part of speech plus the technical inaccuracy is a little too far. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #77028: Bold but well done (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mark @ #76973: A lot of fun this one 5/5 :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #53170: That is a really poorly rendered screwdriver. I thought it was an awl. The way the point is towards us and incredibly unrealistically sharp point made me dismiss the idea that it was a screwdriver. I didn't recognize Queen Elizabeth. I thought it was a photo of Gerald Ford. There are better photos of her from the same event. I have no idea who the singing group or the soccer player are. Also, f**k Roy Lichtenstein. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #77031: The category with Norway in it had a few other more obvious correct answers. I typed in very similar wording to the correct answer for the category including Oasis, and got no credit. You may want to add some more words. (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #29264: Completely blank. Every single one of the images are 404. (1 year, 3 months ago)

jakey @ #77006: Flare and comet are not synonyms for shooting stars (1 year, 3 months ago)

b @ #76881: "Gun" was rejected, so you might need to modify your group answers. Coleman is a brand, so I think it's stretching things a bit to use that in the mustard group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

cazza @ #77030: Preceded by "man"???? Man Candy, Man Fisher, Man Gentle, Man Sports???? (1 year, 3 months ago)

wfaulk @ #42675: The phrase is "Citizen's Arrest", not "Citizen Arrest". (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77029: I'm not a fan of the colours/books group. It's very niche and even if people are familiar with the book they may still choose colours as that is the most obvious answer. Also the words meaning dad, may be worth adding synonyms for feeling depressed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ragman @ #77026: Technically, potato is a tuber, not a root. Good Wall, my pedantic nonsense aside... (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76990: I agree with @weegieman, red herrings needed (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #77003: Nice (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #77023: Maybe allow singulars ? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #77006: Enjoyed the grid. Possibly edit to except more connections that mean the same thing, ie synonyms, record etc (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77029: The colours and heterogram categories were a bit much. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76527: A bit too easy, and no red herrings. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76973: Easy enough, though suffers a bit in the US-UK translation. (1 year, 3 months ago)

chumptastic @ #76826: Thanks, fixed! (1 year, 3 months ago)

SuperT @ #77023: Nor mine (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #77009: For a British grid, I think rollercoasters at a Swedish theme park is a bit niche. Otherwise interesting (1 year, 3 months ago)

andperr @ #77003: @Chris - there's no diamond armor in Skyrim (1 year, 3 months ago)

andperr @ #77000: I agree with salmacis--the people category is weird because it's two Wests and two East(wood)s. To be cleaner, it should either be all the same direction or one of each. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76979: Nice grid! Thanks for creating. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #77003: Nice grid but the Minecraft armour materials are found in plenty of other games. I went with 'Skyrim armour' and got a big fat nothing :( (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #77013: Fun grid- bit different (1 year, 3 months ago)

Miminem @ #77023: Didn’t like my Uk spelling of moustaches! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77014: Good links, plenty of crossover. Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #77018: A bit wordy for my taste but clever connections and any Nintendo references get my vote! Thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76527: Different uses of the connections - but light on red herrings. Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76970: Varied links. Very good. (1 year, 3 months ago)

mitchell @ #45435: (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77013: I think I would have preferred it if I wasn't able to answer all four categories with two words. I really liked the idea but wasn't sold on the "words beginning with" in the same grid as "words meaning". For me, this was half of a really great grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76990: 15 seconds. A record for me! Inconsistent capitalization and no red herrings were a shame. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76998: Very nice, not too hard. (1 year, 3 months ago)

danny shaheen @ #45435: nuh uh (1 year, 3 months ago)

ok @ #45435: ok (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76930: Nice grid. Having Ball as a clue and a category gave it away for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77014: Really good grid. For absolute top quality, maybe don't have two categories that are generally the same, unless the grid is all four categories like that. But some nice red herrings, and not too hard. Five stars. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tanya Merchant @ #76853: A catholic cloaked women: a is singular while women is plural. You can either change women to woman or keep women but leave off the article/ a (1 year, 3 months ago)

louise @ #76930: Using The Bill like that - genius! (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #76980: Players may judge that "verve" is not a synonym for "joy". Both thumbs up. (1 year, 3 months ago)

lebrone james @ #45435: (1 year, 3 months ago)

lebrone james @ #45435: yes (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77000: The people category was too vague for me - if you're going to do something like that, make it the *same* cardinal direction, otherwise it's just a list of names. Also, not sure about Peppermint belonging in that category, unless it's a specific American brand I don't know about. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #77003: The Minecraft category spoiled it for me - this is not something the average person would have a clue about. Shame, as the rest of the grid was good. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76990: Needs some red herrings to spice it up, I think (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76981: Nice and simple, thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Owen @ #76853: Lovely (1 year, 3 months ago)

tiger king @ #76855: Nice grid. I am not crazy with "Energy of a stationary object," although I knew where you were going. A better clue would be "Energy of position." It a bit pedantic but more specific. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jed @ #74426: fun rhymes:) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76965: Nice grid! Was stuck on the character names, but still enjoyed it :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76963: Simply too many moving parts on this one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76964: Nice work! (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76913: Not general interest. (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76912: That She-Ra category might be a teensy bit too niche. (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76904: The category overlap between money and cities is probably excessive. (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76907: Lovely grid, but your linking words are wildly too strict, most notably requiring the accent on Pokemon and rejecting “laundry.” (1 year, 3 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #76947: Smashing (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #76921: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Lbob @ #76756: this doesn't take into account British English spelling of colours - it told me I was wrong and the connection was 'colors' (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kumquat @ #76845: Nice! I got marked right when I was very wrong on a couple of these, so my confetti was wholly undeserved! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76906: The writer and actress groups, easy enough, but your very specific answer requirements aren't really justified unless there were to be others who might fit the more general category, (1 year, 3 months ago)

Peggy @ #24258: Love the John Cooper Clarke references. Pure genius. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76921: Nice idea, bit too simple perhaps. Could do with a few red herrings for more of a challenge. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76927: Nice one. Quite easy but oddly pleasing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76930: Isn't there normally an S on the English /French spelling of Brugge? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Zara @ #76837: That was the hardest one I’ve ever done! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76887: Really good one. The Arabic group I finally got the connection after starting at it at the end. It came from the depths of my brain somewhere. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76885: Fair point - it would definitely be great if there was a link. However, these words are not just anagrams, but actually words that spell a completely different word when written backwards. That's what makes them special and, I think, worthy of their own connection. Still, thanks for the feedback :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76885: Generally good grid. The anagram connection I'm not keen on. Usually the anagrams have a connection rather than just being anagrams. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76890: Ah yes - fair comments. I guess I was thinking that a dot is synonymous with a spot, but I see how it could be confusing. Thanks for the feedback :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

barry wom @ #76876: High Qual. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76913: You either know the answers or you don't know them, which sort of takes the fun element out of it for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76887: Great grid. The Arabic group was sneaky. I spotted it but was stuck trying to fit lemon in as well as orange - only remembered afterwards that lemon comes from Persian, not Arabic. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76890: It's polka dot, not polka spot, but it still works, as there were no red herrings for that group, so it doesn't completely spoil the grid. Otherwise, it's a fun grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nic @ #76907: Pokémon games could also be wedding anniversaries? Is ale the same as beer? Otherwise nice grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sdg83 @ #76899: Nice grid, thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Shane @ #76853: Obviously some specialized knowledge required here. (1 year, 3 months ago)

alizard @ #76855: great grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Eddy Sadler @ #76906: really good! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ollie @ #76698: Def enjoyed this one. But like the British person who commented, I said “stone fruits” and lost points. I’m American and have always called that category by that name. (1 year, 3 months ago)

buff @ #76873: sorry about those typos, I seldom check. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Isabella @ #76763: Nice puzzle - wish you'd accepted "tattletale" for row 3. :-) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jed @ #76716: Wow! This definitely was a puzzle! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #56055: Good one, thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #76883: It would be good to include Raptors in addition to Birds of Prey (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #56101: So musical terms is not right? This grid is so wrong. Sort it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ignore @ #76896: Ignore, submitted in error (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sue @ #76862: Nice categories, but try to get more red herrings, please. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76817: Yes - great comment. I have made the edit you suggest. Cheers! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dev @ #76890: Nice grid. I kinda agree about polka dots but I guess a polka dot is a spot so it still fits the clue for me. 10/10 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob @ #76890: Very good - agree with Christo but close enough to work out the group (1 year, 3 months ago)

christo @ #76890: Good but I think it's polka dot rather than spot. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #76854: Great grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jessica @ #76879: I agree with both of these comments, the group description is not accurate. Good board otherwise. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Theo @ #76855: That was so much fun! Thanks for a great grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #76862: Scissor Sisters are not an all-girl group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #76879: I agree with weegieman, “to lose something” implies it’s involuntary, whereas all the words in that group are deliberate, especially abandon and jettison (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76879: Quibble: don't think to lose something is really accurate for the abandon group (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jo @ #76884: This was absolutely brilliant. Probably written by a genius (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76883: Nice but please allow singular form of noun (ie band) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76884: I enjoyed the grid, maybe edit to accept singular form of the noun? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76853: Enjoyed this grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76846: Glad the stripes clue worked. I was a bit worried people would complain about that one. "Aha! I know a barber shop quartet who wear blue and yellow!" "Wally? He's called Waldo!" "Bully is too obscure!" (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76886: Great one, grid of the day for me. Non-Brits won't like it though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ashish @ #76745: Nice one (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76886: Excellent grid. Some tricky red herrings, but it's certainly doable. Great job! (1 year, 3 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #76833: Brilliant grid! 5 stars for quality, 3 for difficulty, and a 10 out of 10 game! (1 year, 3 months ago)

kit @ #76848: Lovely connections , enjoyed this grid, thanks. (1 year, 3 months ago)

dill @ #76885: great grid with some excellent (but hard!) connections (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76875: Well thought out but borderline impossible for my little brain, didn't get any of it. The @ group is clever but too way out there for my taste, have to brush up my Slovakian! (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #76842: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76881: Great grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #76883: Good one! Bully for you (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mainichi @ #76846: Great - even though I only got one row. I managed to get all the connections tho and was kicking myself! Agreed - the stripes clue is great. Thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

seb @ #76834: I think Hartbeat is correct - it was the art show for kids by Tony Hart. There is a different show called Heartbeat but that wasn't a kids show, so does fit the category. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ellie @ #75446: Most programming languages don't have word as a basic data type, its string. Good grid though (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76883: Good one, I found it fairly easy (1 year, 3 months ago)

TVx3 @ #76873: Jon Pertwee spelling (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76583: Happy to get one right (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76596: Weak (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76825: @Fairy, yes, both are correct in this context. All liquids are fluid, but fluids include other stated including plasma and gas. So liquid here is more specific. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76841: I think I am being dense over the 'semilogarithic' unless you mean semi-skimmed? (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76862: nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76846: I liked this one. Loved the stripes. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76834: I didn't know that about 'jay' either. I think it's Heartbeat - that threw me! Thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76875: Very clever, foxed me! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76834: I've never heard magpie and jay for chatterbox. You learn something! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76825: Fairly straightforward with some nice crossovers. I'm not good on the scientific terminology, but would fluid and liquid mean the same thing? If so then I'm giving myself confetti (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76824: Generally a nice simple grid. Being a bit pedantic I would say that to mince is not the same as to cut. It's more of a squashing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76873: One easy group, but Peter Davidson is spelled incorrectly. Three impossible groups. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76875: Very good grid, even though I couldn't do it at all! (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #76770: Isles won't accept islands? (1 year, 3 months ago)

seb @ #76871: loved it. clever red herrings galore!!! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76873: 4/10 is ok (1 year, 3 months ago)

Shane @ #76873: Yep, specialist knowledge required here. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76870: 10/10 for me.... But I love films (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76862: 10 in under a minute (1 year, 3 months ago)

film buff @ #76873: ** for the hardcore buff (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dane @ #76813: Phew - the element question is hard! Got the rest tho. Thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76862: Very clever! Took me a while. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jen @ #44941: Should be spelt Finnish Spitz (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76862: Nice! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dirk @ #76871: Excellent! Was tricky, but I got there in the end :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76862: Good stuff! (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76468: You are my new favourite puzzle setter. This is brilliant (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76855: Works just as well as the other variant puzzle. Nice one (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76854: This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you. I saw the pattern on my first attempt but it took me 3 attempts to finally figure it out. Very challenging, very enjoyable. Kudos (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76840: Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76841: Did not get the toilet set (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76842: Nice grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76845: Lady Chatterley got me (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jennifer Isaac @ #76756: Very easy (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jennifer Isaac @ #76527: Great grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jennifer Isaac @ #76766: Challenging but was able to get connection for each line. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Matthew @ #76852: Really good quick puzzle (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76849: Don’t love two decoys for the same category within nails (finger and acrylic). Makes it nigh impossible if those are your final two, especially since latex is such a weird pick. (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76815: “Achieve victory” should be in past tense so it’s not “win.” Accept 1 and 4 for their categories as well as the words spelled out. Fun tho. (1 year, 3 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76848: Very good, thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76766: The chip brand is Lay’s, not Lay, which does rather spoil that one (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76848: So many Toms (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76849: Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76527: Very easy (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76848: Got 2 groupings and 3 connections. Ty! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superman @ #76833: Sorry for the “Hat” problem. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mel @ #76766: Good fun (1 year, 3 months ago)

BallSaxbury @ #73674: 24 seconds 10/10 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Josh @ #76838: @Bedford, yeah it seems like they directly copied it. I also agree Seven should be accepted. (1 year, 3 months ago)

BallSaxbury @ #76846: 10/10 with 43 seconds left. Amazing grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

markinscotland @ #76766: Lot of fun this one! 5/5 (1 year, 3 months ago)

SN @ #76838: Accept seven as a search term (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76840: Pretty tricky connections. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76842: Really liked this one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Game Master @ #76829: Thumbs up (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #76842: Nice groups easy but quality (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76290: Enjoyed it! Thank you for making this grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76836: Expand connection to animal, plus the other to just fat. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Roy @ #76845: Excellent (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76829: I just did my grid again and now think it might be a bit tricky. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76833: Ok (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76833: It didn't accept singular for hat, but other than that i enjoyed it (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76838: I agree. Seven should be acceptable as well as rapper singular. Very very similar to recent connections posted NY Times... hmmmm (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76833: Batter? (1 year, 3 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76842: Nice grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kevin @ #76833: Incorrect for "hat". The answer; type of hats. Robbed I was...😄 (1 year, 3 months ago)

ls @ #33156: this stumped two harvard students for seven minutes (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76841: Hmm. Planets and gods again (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ewan @ #76761: Worthy of Only Connect, that one. But unless you're talking about the daft movie adaptaptation, it is called Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superman @ #76841: Please feel free to comment. (1 year, 3 months ago)

njc @ #76838: Nice! More explanation on the groups would be great! (e.g. septet, great group though) The rappers group should probably accept 'rapper' (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superman @ #76527: I think that was a bit too easy, maybe add some red hearings in next time? PLZ do my Puzzgrid No. 76833. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Zara @ #76290: Good job team I got a bit confused! Zara (1 year, 3 months ago)

njc @ #76836: Nice! Two thoughts 1. One group starts with capital letters and the others don't, so that was easy :-p (instructions say all should start with a capital) 2. Another group is easy to think are just 'animals', maybe that should also get the point? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superman @ #76761: Good grid. Go to grid 76833 (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76764: For that matter most camp sites will ban fires as well... (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76764: Marshmallow at a campsite?? (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76824: Nice one, I just got it in time. Salmacis: Tin, neon, silver, nitrogen (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superman @ #76833: Thanks, I made it (1 year, 3 months ago)

Frankie @ #76833: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Puzzgrid person @ #76833: I love it, 5 stars! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Terry @ #76826: The Repeat of Jordan is on oversight (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76824: Why are Domino and Dice 'black and white'? They *can* be, but it's not a defining quality. And I could only find two of the anagrams - would be helpful if they were spelt out in the answer. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #74442: Got 2 groupings and 2 connections (1 year, 3 months ago)

tiger king @ #76764: I would have never gotten the Met ones in a million years. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superman @ #76830: Same (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jenni @ #76784: So clever (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76830: Got 2 groupings and 3 connections. Clueless on castles (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76829: Made another, hope it's not too easy. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #76592: Saint singular ought to be included as it is the word which can precede those names (1 year, 3 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #76815: Great grid. Good use of homophones too. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76815: Nice (1 year, 3 months ago)

cfaulk46 @ #74442: I'm not sure why this had a German flag on it, but it's a good grid anyhow. 10 out of 10, but it took me almost the whole timer to tie one or two of the groups together! Good call though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76817: Nice fun grid, thanks. Think Birmingham etc could count cities with canals? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jeezee @ #76815: Forearm is between elbow and wrist, not the upper arm (1 year, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #76807: 🤣 It's true! The test is; leave it out on a plate for a few hours. If it goes hard it's a cake, if it goes soft, it's a biscuit. Jaffa cakes go hard. (There's a clue in the name!) (1 year, 3 months ago)

gridlington @ #76810: Hmm... Juliet Bravo wasn't the name of the character. It was her radio callsign, unrelated to her name (1 year, 3 months ago)

The man himself @ #76724: Absolutely amazing stuff. Wish there was a subscribe button so I can do your next quizzes! (1 year, 3 months ago)

timbo @ #76735: None of the rest of the Avengers do you use their real names... only Tony Stark, following the other three examples that one should be "man". Or alternatively should be Romanov, Rogers, and Barton... (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sterling @ #33156: Battleship is not a monopoly piece (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dirk @ #76604: Great anagram clue! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76795: I really enjoyed this one, lots of different crossovers. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #76810: Enjoyable - thank you! (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #76807: The Jaffa Cake has been judged to be a cake, and not a biscuit, in a court of law. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76807: Jaffa cake is not a biscuit! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76756: I'm sorry, but the misspelling of colour means you lose all the stars. Especially as colour doesn't give you the marks. Now if I hadn't got the point for that group due to pedantry that defined both black and white as shades rather than colours you would have recurved all the marks. After all, we like a bit of pedantry. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Josh @ #76670: Mathematical Constant category should also accept irrational numbers, The Gambling numbers seem a bit too disconnected to me but maybe that his just me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76800: Thank you! (1 year, 3 months ago)

cazza @ #76784: Enjoy these grids (1 year, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6+ @ #76808: Enjoyed that, good mix. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76766: Enjoyed (1 year, 3 months ago)

jeff @ #76768: i put "old" for the bailey/trafford/navy/milwaukee group and didn't get credit (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76784: Always enjoyable TY (1 year, 3 months ago)

Marylin Smith @ #76761: The book was Charlie, and the film was Willy Wonka (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76781: The Beanie baby group is far too niche. There are beanie babies with so many different names. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76787: Did not let me have veg😒 I also added "b". Oh well, never mind (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kensuke @ #30903: One of the worst grids around (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76770: Chris - I feel that shires makes more sense. Towns and cities isn't specific. There is a clear definition that differentiates. Towns and cities that give their names to countries would be fine though. I liked this grid. Simple but effective and well thought out. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76745: Thought it was very straightforward but I just hit lucky - when I checked back there were more red herrings than I spotted initially - nice work. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scc @ #76801: This is outstanding. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76718: Agree with above about Netherlands. Holland is part of the Netherlands, but it isn't the Netherlands. A country like North Macedonia would be a better option in this group as they have more recently been recognised by their new names. Or Türkiye? The film one is a bit tenuous as well. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76713: Challenging. I think some like the anagrams of Van Gogh are unlikely to be identified in 10 minutes let alone 3 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Plod @ #76787: Too general Chris. (1 year, 3 months ago)

YxngFresco @ #76799: Sorry guys, one of the categories isn’t working. You’ll know which. I’ll try and edit it (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76784: Good grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76787: "Types of food" should be an acceptable answer for the rhubarb group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

CalamityJ @ #76789: Loved it! (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76791: Maybe. Same thing happened with streetlight grids about an hour ago (1 year, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76787: The potato connection could also be 'b'. Thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

TVx3 @ #76791: Is there a bug in the software? I only submitted this grid once. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76771: Getting the groups was easier than it looked at first glance. But some of the connections were very obscure (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76735: Some more thought needed on this one to do it more justice: "Synonyms for pot" not accepted as a link. Marvel characters jump from using actual last names to hero last words (i.e. Captain America vs Tony Stark and not Iron Man). Fire over flame. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76736: Good grid, took 53 seconds to solve. Didn't get the Amityville link, but that's probably because I'm in the UK. Keep it up. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kensuke @ #76755: Pookey we've missed you. Please call me on 07444339264 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76745: 14 seconds, which yes means easy, but also means well grouped. Nothing wrong with easy, keep up the good gridding! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76784: Yes I did have to say them out loud lucky no one in office but me today! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76758: Should really accept "synonyms for moan" but doesn't. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JustfunFGS! @ #76784: **Yes, accents vary a little. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76770: Chris there are lots of ways to connect the 'shires' group but the setter can choose which one get the points we can just grind our teeth when we guess the wrong one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Doddy @ #76760: Amazing grid!!!!! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76522: Very nice grid good cross overs. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Superdolly @ #76745: Nothing wrong with easy! Good one for children. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76705: Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76770: Nice but very easy! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76770: Feel like the shires group should also accept "UK towns and cities". (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76761: The title is wrong, as pointed out by salmacis (1 year, 3 months ago)

nighttime @ #76770: Nice grid, but it's the Isles of Scilly (plural.) There is no actual Isle of Scilly (singular.) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76761: Very straightforward and fun. @salmacis, that was the name of the 1971 movie, but yeah, the book and the later remake were not so named. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76762: Yeah, at this point, NATO alphabet categories should be automatically rejected. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76761: Surely it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, not Willy Wonka? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76772: Nice and easy grid Couple of good red herrings there 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mr UK @ #76756: @ Andy, not necessarily. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Grid of the week @ #76756: Wasn't this originally based on Only Connect? (1 year, 3 months ago)

MCoys @ #76756: Managed it just in time, thanks. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Andy @ #76736: Found 2 groups and 3 connections. Thought it was a good wall, I just don't have enough knowledge of US things. It is advertised as a US author so can't complain. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hatfield @ #76756: Keep them coming! (1 year, 3 months ago)

LOL @ #76756: Andy?? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Andy @ #76756: Didn't get full marks because I spelled colour correctly. Me thinks you're not British after all... (1 year, 3 months ago)

America @ #76756: Perfect for us! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Game Master @ #76745: Challenging but I still got it (1 year, 3 months ago)

MRS B @ #76756: Really challenging as always. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Billybob @ #76756: Ooo too hard for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

USA @ #76756: My favourites (1 year, 3 months ago)

LOL @ #76756: Wow best ever! (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76736: I agree with neil - my favourite one of yours so far - just the right level of challenge (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76736: I agree with neil - my favourite one of yours so far - just the right level of challenge (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pauline @ #76716: Hamstring is not a muscle (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob @ #76725: Very good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76725: Agreed Cazza - a refreshing lack of major league sports teams, soap characters or game characters ….👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76736: Please don’t dial it back This was a good grid - good overlaps and classic format I actually found it very easy - 10 points solved in 68 seconds - but I don’t mark grids down just because I find them hard anyway - some are supposed to be hard !, (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76738: Tend agree - prince shouldn’t have been in a band group - double headed group titles don’t work…. King was a band too - and Emperor is a bed - so you could still make it work Apart from that one of your trickier grids - pleasing to solve ! Keep them coming (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #75895: Excellent, connecting wall meets missing vowels. Took me 5 minutes. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76750: Lost a star from me for a grid that can only be solved by puzzgrid puzzle setters - if that isn’t niche I don’t know what is . Even as a puzzgrid player I don’t know what one of the options is - it’s just a squidgy black blob even zoomed in - and the answer is always rabbit … Otherwise a nice easy grid !! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76752: Difficult (1 year, 3 months ago)

X @ #76750: Should accept 'homonyms' as well as 'homophones'. (1 year, 3 months ago)

r-f @ #71825: Only problem was there was more than one correct way to solve this. You could swap out Raphael for either Michelangelo or Donatello and both lists would still work fine. (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76751: Hmm, me too, only one group. A bit too obscure (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76751: Only able to get 1 group (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76749: Thought the one-syllable one was a wee bit weak, but otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Josh @ #76710: you can’t have 3 categories be one thing! haha it’s too hard if you don’t know specifically taylor songs (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mamasan @ #76750: Well thought out (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #76750: Neat (1 year, 3 months ago)

Josh @ #76738: loved this (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76749: Thank you for the challenge! (1 year, 3 months ago)

james @ #76735: Maybe I'm weird, but the lack of capitalization really bothered me (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76745: Nice and straightforward - just one thing - try to avoid putting one group only as plurals - makes it easy to spot without much further thought. Good warm up grid. Thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76745: This might be too easy (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76736: I found it easy to solve the wall, got 3 of the rows. Didn't understand the reference to Mount Vernon row, just my lack of knowledge. (Just looked it up) OIC definitely my lack of knowledge. Good grid, couple of excellent red herrings. Well done. You win10-7. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76741: Darn it - I mixed up my eggs and my horses! Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76743: Clever ? I guess so - but not really in the spirit of gridding - totally unsolvable in the time limit. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76735: Fire instead of flame perhaps? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76739: I only got half of them (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76741: Challenging. Got the groups but didn't get all the connections (1 year, 3 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #76029: I don't think the math works on firetruck. Don't you have to remove 5 letters? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #68266: Just challenging enough to make it interesting. Enjoyed it. Sir Huffington said it better though (1 year, 3 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #65919: need to accept choral parts (1 year, 3 months ago)

ammy @ #76741: The clues are so so specific. They want one precise phrase, which isn't possible to guess (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #72893: Great grid for beginners or kids! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76736: I'll dial it back on future grids (1 year, 3 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #68266: Loved this - clever. Was looking for Al. (1 year, 3 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #72893: Actually, the full name would be St. Valentine's Day, and either way, it absolutely fits. All of these count in US as holidays. This is an extremely easy grid- good to send to a beginner. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Them! @ #76729: PMs? (1 year, 3 months ago)

HighPriestessofBoogie @ #74426: Oddly contrived just for dimes, times, rhymes, crimes, but I get it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #65699: (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #76740: I think you need to accept “universities” as an answer for the UCD/Trinity group (1 year, 3 months ago)

PadstheFish @ #76740: The Trinity group needs some more key words as there are synonyms I put that didn't work. The range should also be expanded. Hope that makes sense (1 year, 3 months ago)

Lia @ #76738: that was a good one, it got me! But I could see the connections (1 year, 3 months ago)

Lia @ #76736: So probably not for a younger audience (1 year, 3 months ago)

Lia @ #76736: It was difficult, just kinda gave up cause I didn’t know some of the words (1 year, 3 months ago)

cazza @ #76725: Yes, some of it is UK specific but at least it does not involve niche sporting or US soaps knowledge! (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #76583: Needs to be more accepting (1 year, 3 months ago)

JEREMY @ #76738: Very, very good good. Loved the half groups and crossovers. The band group needed to be a little tighter, but I see why you wanted them in. Bravo (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #76688: What's body check? (1 year, 3 months ago)

louise @ #76736: Must depends on what you know, did not find it overly difficult, just enough to be interesting! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Game Master @ #76736: Too difficult (1 year, 3 months ago)

Game Master @ #76738: Difficult (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76738: Fedora Love to hear that you enjoy playing them! I enjoy making them. Win win!😊 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fedora @ #76738: Your puzzles are my favorites :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

jellyfish @ #76732: Fun grid, but too much overlap where answers for one section could still fit with another. Would be better if once you get the category, it's clear that only the 4 in that category could be in it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76736: Let me know what you think. I'll keep making them if people enjoy them! 😉 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hubba @ #76719: Scored 5/10. Tough, fair, well constructed. Best grid I've seen in a while. Thank you! (1 year, 3 months ago)

kit @ #76689: Yes I wondered if Castle Rock was something else as well! Thanks all for the great feedback. Salmacis exactly the same thing happened to me last week, but I saw it in time so maybe the chances are greater than we think! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #76731: Excellent grid! Nice range of answer types, my favourite (1 year, 3 months ago)

alt @ #76716: I agree with Richard (1 year, 3 months ago)

gergo @ #75994: (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76689: Sorry @J @Kit, you are both wrong, Castle Rock is a brewery! Good grid, definitely deserves its grid of the day award. (1 year, 3 months ago)

cklev @ #76726: There was a typo that is now fixed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

gergo @ #69464: (1 year, 3 months ago)

J @ #76689: Good Grid. Castle Rock possibly better known to some as the fictional town in Maine where Stephen King bases a lot of his stories. Also the name of his psychological horror series that aired on Hulu 2018-19. Also the basis for Rob Reiner naming his production company (now part of Warner Brothers) Castle Rock Entertainment. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Noyonika @ #64530: Thank you so much for everything you have done for me this year! I have really enjoyed Physics lessons throughout the year, and have always exited with a smile on my face.

James @ #64530: Thank you for teaching us! (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76689: I don't believe it, exactly the same category as one of mine, even though I didn't see yours first. What are the chances!? Nice grid though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76726: Can't see the logic for one of the connections - two of the options don't seem to fit at all and one is a repeat of the answer? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #76689: Excellent grid - loved the variety in the types of link. Thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

SamuelP @ #76725: Nice one. I got it but it will be tough for non-Brits. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76710: Too niche for my taste, not immediately accessible to the man on the street (1 year, 3 months ago)

kit @ #76721: The groups do make sense, though there are two that not many would know, so the explanations need to be more specific rather than initials. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Andy @ #76716: Just awful (1 year, 3 months ago)

Andy @ #76719: Really enjoyed this one - only 3/10 though! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alison @ #76721: This is utter nonsense (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #76716: I'll not a fan of hidden words that break across a line (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard @ #76721: I've read the answers and I'm none the wiser. "Characters"? Hhtyd? Oh, and the "Janes" group doesn't accept "Jane " but that's the least of my worries (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #76574: Enjoyable grid with a fun extra layer of the groups being connected (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sophox @ #76689: Lovely (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #76710: Garbage! (1 year, 3 months ago)

gergo @ #76689: (1 year, 3 months ago)

Johnny @ #76716: trombone and saxophone spelt wrong, and saxophone is a wood wind instrument not a brass instrument, also the presidents group for some reason accepted 'musical styles'?? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sue @ #76716: The Joey group also accepts 'australia' as being correct (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76716: Good grief (1 year, 3 months ago)

Penguin @ #76705: @Wye+Knott 😁 thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dudley @ #76716: saxophone and trombone a spelled incorrect. You can't have a group where it's sometimes the first name of a president, and sometimes the surname... (1 year, 3 months ago)

B @ #76689: Very good grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

whaleroad @ #76698: Really enjoyed this grid. Fell down on the fruit connection because in the UK we call them stones rather than pits. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sara @ #76710: "Ivy" is on "Evermore," not "Folklore" (1 year, 3 months ago)

L @ #76672: Why couldn't I instead say that Germany, Austria, Italy, and Russia are European countries, and USA, Canada, China, and Japan are countries on the Pacific? You need to make sure there's only one solution. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Andy @ #76287: Really good, thank you! (1 year, 3 months ago)

CRAs @ #76700: Hi! These are modified versions of "Cognitive Remote Associates" puzzles, or CRAs. They're very tricky and I thought they would be fun for puzzgrid. It's helpful to have an idea of what you're looking for when solving these, so look out for the "CRAs" username for a hint if I post more puzzles in the future. Enjoy :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76626: Err, I'm no expert, but I didn't think Venus de Milo was a Turtle. Nice grid apart from that - angel red herrings were clever. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76666: So... First group, members of Queen I saw almost immediately, as I did for David Attenborough group; The Attenborough group needs to be much wider in its response for answers. I put in 5 words connected to the whole group, and none of them matched, despite them all being accurate. The Pesci group I got with a correct answer, but not the row with Chris Penn in. It might be worth editing this board, if you have the edit link. It's a good board, but you do need to make changes to the accepted answers. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76640: The answers didn't specify, but as far as I can see the bird group are all plural/mass noun forms, which I don't think can apply to turkey. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76639: Some flaws in this grid I’m afraid Six reds and then an extra one included in the red group which isn’t a red but a name. Makes it a bit frustrating (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76671: Liked the overlapping red herrings. Glad that the R4 connection wasn't required, just comedians was enough. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Peter @ #76636: Fascinating, but tricky to ensure unique solvability. I IDed one of the sets as capital Chi / Eta / Omicron / Iota, and I think it could be swapped into Roman Numerals 10 / 50 / 100 / 1. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Shell @ #76619: Fun puzzle. I suggest you add dental to the list of links or use dent so that other endings are accepted. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76621: Found this intriguing but too difficult. I couldn't get one group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bedford @ #76616: Very very difficult for the average person. Needs more variety in catagories (1 year, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #76577: Good grid, thanks for creating! But linking words need to be improved. For example I put 'star sign animals' for the 'animals of the zodiac' group and got a big red cross. Misspelt chili too (I typed chilli), which is a fair mistake I'd say. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76542: I agree with Neil, but fun nevertheless (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76532: Seconded - synonyms should be accepted (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76517: Overlaps are usually a good thing - but there is supposed to be only one valid solution. Too many from the room groups are interchangeable leaving multiple fully valid solutions. Eg swapping drawer and table leaves both groups valid - and there are other ways to do that with this grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76542: All rated at a barbecue? Nope but they can all be beef Horse as a chess piece ? Bed associated with bed ? Needs a bit more care - could easily have been a decent grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76389: Honolulu is misspelled. Great wall! (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76404: If you're going to count an avocado as a berry, you can't count strawberries or raspberries. An avocado is a berry only in the botanical sense (like blueberries, bananas, watermelons), and strawberries and raspberries and almost all "-berries" besides blueberry are only colloquially berries. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hash @ #76532: I think the "mash" category should accept "synonyms" as an acceptable response but I enjoyed this grid very much! 5 stars (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76468: Almost perfect, except "at work" doesn't fit the group, as all the others precede men, and "At Work" follows men. Otherwise, great and clever board. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76478: Hand group was surprisingly inappropriate. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kevin Norman @ #76526: Great puzzle. Thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76516: A desk is not really bedroom furniture unless you're a student. In any case, you won't find it in the bedroom section of a furniture store. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76515: Feedback: - Anagrams that are not words are both easy and not particularly interesting - Caesar salad is spelled with an "ae" - "Traits of serial killers" is a very generic group and 3/4 are synonyms or near-synonyms. - "Famous women" is far too generic a group - If it is "famous women", it should accept "women" - Similarly, "salads" should accept "salad" (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76518: Really loved the Al Pacino group, but the grid is let down by the fact that Spider-Man cannot fly (except the way everybody can, in a plane) and including Tom Cruise because he can fly with a plane is a little bit of a stretch. Also, three actors and one director to make the group "people involved" seems poor form. I'd replace Jackson with a LotR actor to make the group feel cohesive. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76520: Lots of missing acceptable words for connections: "top" isn't accepted "rock formations" not accepted "movie" isn't accepted (didn't try "tv show", but should be accepted as well) (1 year, 3 months ago)

BallSaxbury @ #57078: 6/10 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Gozi @ #76520: You really should add more tags. Geography, movies (all those apply to more than plays), best, top, ultimate. There's too many synonyms to nail the correct one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Max Power @ #76513: @J, Christopher Plummer wasn't knighted. Billy Connolly has been, but he wasn't offered Gandalf as far as I can tell. Though that could have been a very different film if he was! (1 year, 3 months ago)

J @ #76513: I believe all actors have been knighted, which would be another connection. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bromide @ #76513: Enjoyed that - thanks. Got 9/10. Nice red herrings with the muppets and there are also four "sirs" there which I got caught up on. Didn't guess the Gandalf category, I had no idea Christopher Plummer and Patrick Stewart had been offered that role. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Matt @ #76476: good one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Atticus @ #76511: Interestingly your heteronym group could also all be followed by 'down' which is an odd coincidence given one of the other groups (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76426: Nice and easy, straightforward one theme grid :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76425: I think the words you were looking for are Farfalle and Capellini I wouldn’t have thought of Extra as a brand - it’s labelled as Wrigley’s extra making Wrigley’s the brand and Extra the product name. Otherwise a nice easy grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

doktorvox @ #76382: I typed "marijuana" for #3 and "Zelda" for #4 and didn't get points for either. Bad scoring tags. (1 year, 3 months ago)

tiredmusicmajor @ #76351: Some of these could be multiple connections. And I was counted wrong because I clicked the wrong iteration of alto and tenor (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76380: Loved this. Brutal but fair. Pity “Ten” can’t be spelled out, but I agree that it can’t be. (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76382: “Zelda” should be added as an accepted word for the relevant category. I’m also slightly irked by the lack of capitalization, especially on the category that’s proper nouns, but I’ll admit that’s pedantry. (1 year, 3 months ago)

ElSandifer @ #76381: Three out of the four categories are simply too obscure to feel fair or guessable. (1 year, 3 months ago)

George @ #76377: Perhaps a little easy but enjoyable (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #76358: Sorry, I didn’t intend to be rude. You group connections are weak. I don’t get fire in the camera group. It comes across as if you have shovelled half a dozen in at once, much like pressing an auto computer gen button. I like easy grids, they are in many ways harder to create with quality. You’ll get much more satisfaction from posting a good easy one rather than 10 hard or average ones. And thanks for posting it. Lots of love stewy (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76364: "popular" was a bit vague for me - would have been even better if there was some more specific linkage between them (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76366: I thought one of the groups was about hussling - words that contain a word meaning stung - i found get, lure and con ! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76293: Come on, you know what pedants we all are. And you know that Pluto isn't a planet. It would be so easy to use Uranus or Saturn or Mercury. I think people just do it to wind up the players (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76292: A lot of the connections are very specific, so my general connection guesses didn't work (Two words the same with a different vowel sound and video games). Generally good hadn't heard all the name songs, but many were too recent for me! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76250: Great one, thanks. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mr Gnomi @ #76358: Too easy Stewy? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76269: Great idea. The down group needs some work in the definition. They are all directions for example go left, go right. You can't really say they are the answers for the other groups as the up/down group a6ll work with up but only 2 work with down. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76283: Hmm - close but no cigar sums this up for me? Confetti a party decoration ? Not really Pasta dishes ? Again not really - two are types of pasta but not actually dishes, two are types sauce but not actually dishes - Spaghetti Carbonara is a dish. They hang together as groups but not as you define them… I’m not keen on Tomato in its group either - very loose and Bulgaroctonus is plain fiendish ( which is aloud :) ) Had the makings of a very nice grid - just misses out for me on the detail ! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76280: Almost very good But old car doesn’t fit - it’s a banger, sure but that doesn’t mean or imply membership of that group Just Car fits or as they are mostly clues - 4 wheels personal transport maybe ? Or even just automobile… (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76269: I said "prepositions" for the last group. Should that count? (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76275: Lovely! Not many red herrings, but the groups were oblique enough to make it pretty challenging. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76272: Pretty tricky! I loved this one, which surprised me. Only nits: didn't take "states named after people", which I only said because I didn't want to say royalty for Washington's sake. For NM, FL, etc. I said states with large Latin(o,a,x,e) population, not sure if that's too generic for you. And after those great, specific categories, "two word states" left me a little bereft. I was trying to guess a connection more in line with the other three. But great grid! One of the rare ones I like where all the answers are from a single category. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76265: Did you submit this one twice? (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76260: Loved this one. The Loganberry group was tricky, but managed to catch on after I had two groups down. Nice! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Zoe @ #69976: Didn’t love having both over easy and over medium in the over category (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76250: Pretty good! Not too hard, a few red herrings, though. One thing for the Kid group, it didn't accept "children" or "child ages", and for the Keys group, didn't accept "every day carry". Probably worth adding "carry" and "pocket" to the acceptance criteria for the latter and "child" for the former? Nice one, though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76235: I would have appreciated a few more red herrings and a better constrained "one" group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Craig Johnson @ #76235: Wanted to point out that "where," "body," "thing," and "one" may also be prefixed by "any-". Dunno whether the routine will allow two correct prefixes. Otherwise, a clever one, not too hard. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pwee Keng Ho @ #76241: You need to fill in the links box for the programme to recognise answers (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pale+Fisher @ #76235: Can also be preceded by ANY (1 year, 3 months ago)

andperr @ #76235: Those words can also be proceeded by "any" or "no" or "some"! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Quasarsphere @ #76215: Objectively, an excellent grid! Subjectively, I hate it, because I got a big fat hairy zero! (1 year, 3 months ago)

GLOBAL GIRLS @ #76182: FABBBBBBBBB LOVE THE GLOBAL GIRLIES (1 year, 3 months ago)

Julie @ #76216: I got 3 by fluke. These answers don’t make sense at all. What has King got to do with underground stations? Needs editing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76146: I think it may be a good idea to add F1 or Motorsport to your name for a grid like this. I recognised a few F1 names, but if we lost on me (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hob @ #76216: Just too many errors in this one. The Harry Potter book is the Chamber of Secrets, not Secret. "Jubilee", "King" and "Baker" are not tube stations. (Jubilee is a line, Baker Street is a station, and I have no idea where King comes from at all) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #76195: A nice twist on a classic theme. I enjoyed it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #76198: Nicely balanced grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

wonkywilk @ #76207: Nice grid 😁 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Arcadian @ #76215: This is asking a lot! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76180: A good grid, one group needs a little adjustment to the accepted answers. I don't know how many grids you've done, so please take this as constructive :) The group featuring Franklin Roosevelt Jr. also needs to accept the word died. The term you used is not something people would immediately think of. Remember to give people a good range of accepted terms, to help them solve the grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76215: Brilliant grid. Too good for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76190: Happy with 5 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76185: I thought it was square numbers.... Which is not accepted... Or is that an just in the uk (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #76204: Sorry, that should say Grenada/Bahamas (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #76204: Fiendishly good, but for the Grenada/Barbados group, you should accept “former British colonies” as an answer since that connection is what brought them into the commonwealth in the first place. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76211: Clever! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kristin @ #76211: Fun and interesting grid! Extra hard with an American accent, but that's not your fault. 😊 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76173: Tough but very well constructed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76144: Enjoyable. My knowledge of Duran Duran let me down. To answer the question before - nobody does it better isn't a bond film. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76195: Very clever, super stuff! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jonathan @ #76212: Stumped me with the Mister Men! Very good (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76142: I must be the target market for this one. It looked really tricky, but only I spotted South Park and the Pythons it was plain sailing. Really good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76200: Very easy, but great fun (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76211: Lovely grid :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Edel farrell @ #76212: Tough (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rob @ #76208: Nice grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76207: Opera group probably needs one word swapping that can be Tor not Tion so the red herring still works (Doc) Otherwise a nice grid :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76202: I don’t think homonyms is strictly correct - that means two words that sound the same but are spelled differently with different meanings - letters of the alphabet are not strictly words in that sense just single letters ( and yes they do have spellings too but in this context that seems a stretch) They are more accurately Homophones ( which was accepted) It might accept vegetable but not veg. ( which I’m happy to take on the chin as I was just being lazy!) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Simon @ #76208: Thanks. Fun grid. First time I've been on this site in years (1 year, 3 months ago)

fouracross @ #76202: idk how to reply to people but the word vegetable is an acceptable answer, you clearly just spelt it wrong CJ. (also homonyms now an acceptable answer) (1 year, 3 months ago)

J @ #76207: I second Enzed's suggestion. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Enzed @ #76207: Tion is also a solution to the opera group, and probably gives more common words (1 year, 3 months ago)

David Rees @ #76195: Absolutely brilliant. Inspired! (1 year, 3 months ago)

mal @ #76195: Easy, fun, love this (1 year, 3 months ago)

dan @ #76195: Familiar? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76191: Pronunciation's often an issue, but I think all of these are close enough to work well. Not that I got them, but that's just down to my ignorance. White was fine, but I felt that number one was a little bit weak, no way I'd have put it in that group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

CJ @ #76202: So you’ve not allowed the word “vegetable” to be an acceptable answer? Great work. 1/5 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76198: Nice. Some interesting novel connections (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76195: Good fun :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76190: One song I’d never heard of - three I got almost instantly (although had to think what the BAD one was called) Have to settle for 7 :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76187: Phew - just waded through several grids I got nowhere with Thought I was losing the knack This one was much nicer - got my confetti and enjoyed the connections :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #76202: Cheers (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76170: Possibly a bit to niche for Harry Potter fans too (1 year, 3 months ago)

S @ #76202: Should accept homonyms for the alphabet answer. (1 year, 3 months ago)

njc @ #76198: You are *so right* about NYT's OC plagiarism. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76164: Not bad I do feel compelled to correct your definition of men’s shed - it looks like a partial cut and paste They are not communities - they are community spaces …. Aimed at reducing loneliness and isolation by building social networks and through them improving mental health and even saving lives . (1 year, 3 months ago)

njc @ #76182: Nice wall! The cow (bovine) one would probably be better with the word cow in the answer list (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76195: Straightforward and fun to do Spotted the plot early on 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76197: lovely grid. Just the right level of challenge for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mamasan @ #76195: Great grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76200: Good grid, fairly straightforward. I missed out on the cabin row, an "Of course" moment for me. Well done, you win 10-7 Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mack @ #76202: Great classic grid. Thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Wordybird @ #76167: Nice! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Parigi @ #76191: @Kent Thanks for the feedback! Also for sure {Gödel, Girdle} and {Canter, Cantor} are not pronounced the same, by many people. But near enough to be somewhat identifiable, I hope! For the Christmas group, maybe I should swap out "White" for something else. There was a vague "red herring" reason for leaving it in, aimed at the people I wrote the puzzle for, but I take your point! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76133: Nice one. The Shakespeare connection was really good. Enjoyed that! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76130: I think the song was a little niche. I did recognise that 3 of them were Michael/Mike so just thought there may be a very odd Mr Game 6, first name Michael. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76195: Extremely simple but fun. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76202: Nice and straightforward but a classic well put together grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76203: I got zero - but still able to appreciate a beautifully crafted grid. Thank you (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76202: Nice (1 year, 3 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #76164: excellent grid just as it should be. nothing too obscure no potter or video games (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #76173: Dulwich Hamlet football team!! - cmon. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76193: Clever. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #76191: Touring and Turing aren’t really pronounced the same, at least not like Rustle and Russell. I also think as a rule of thumb a group of clues should be either preceded or followed by a certain word, not a mixture of both - it makes connecting them unnecessarily hard. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Niamh @ #76176: 10/10 for entertainment (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76174: Really didn't like this, sorry. - had no clue for either the groups or the connections. Some pretty specialized knowledge needed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mart @ #76175: Loved this although I failed to spot one group which is to my eternal shame. Purple and yellow and red, how did I not spot that? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ro @ #76169: Nice grid with no niche groups & enough red herrings. Thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alison @ #76174: Lemony 😉 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alison @ #76164: Enjoyed that. Thank you 🙂 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Penguin @ #76168: @Bina Thank you for pointing out the spelling error. Not sure how that happened as I know it’s a gadwall. Now corrected. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kumquat @ #76173: Really nice! (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #75992: Shame about the Anglia/Grenada thing, otherwise would have been a good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #76171: Thank you - got me stumped on two - I couldn't get 'blue' out of my mind! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75997: Some nice groups, with no tenuous members. No rh that I could see, but very satisfying. Lovely. Ty. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75992: Almost a well thought out grid. Unfortunately, Anglia and Granada can be swapped, so there isn't a unique solution. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #76168: Nice grid! Didn't know most of the ducks, but didn't need to.. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #76164: Liked it, but couldn't get the description for the "House" group :-) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bruce @ #76108: Excellent. Really enjoyed that. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bina @ #76168: Gadwall rather than Gadwell? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Edel farrell @ #76161: Tough (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76161: Why do these grids never accept “characters from a programme I don’t watch and have never heard of or a game I don’t play and have never heard of” I mean it’s 100% accurate !! And correct 😂 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76160: Longest river in the world ? They are Nile, Amazon, Yangtze and Mississippi It allowed River so I got the point - just puzzled by your explanation. The Parana is only the second longest in South America - presumably included to make us think it was a misspelled Piranha? ( didn’t fall for that because of other obvious rivers They aren’t all titles of married women either …. So confused by your explanations Nothing wrong with the grid - just the explanations (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76156: Tough, but very well constructed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fungrids @ #76093: A fun grid! I can’t see “line of cocaine” making it onto Only Connect though (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #76152: also the Crier you've asked for has an 'I' not a Y (1 year, 3 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #76133: I didn't get the Shakespeare connection. The others quite easy. Good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #76152: cities should be added to possible answers (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76153: Milk Shed is fine it’s used fairly commonly found A fairly decent traditional grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76153: What's a milk shed? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #76152: Good ideas, a nice simple grid and a very quick solve , but the 'football teams ending in city' link, could also just have been 'cities', 'cathedrals' or 'cathedral cities', none of which scored the point. (1 year, 3 months ago)

KB @ #76133: Fun for a lunchtime distraction - good stuff! (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76122: I love the dog group, even though I didn't get it. However people need to either stop using racecar as a palindrome or start using it as something other than a palindrome, because every time I see it it's a free group. (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76127: Even once you catch the naming scheme, there are so many ways to slice groups of presidents, I'd be very surprised if this solution is unique. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hummus @ #76133: LOVED this, Ashamed that I missed the Shakespeare! great idea for homophones (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76153: It is called a milking shed, not a milk shed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

salmacis @ #75821: No, the country is the 'United States of America'. America is fine as an answer for Continents, although we usually divide it into North and South. Australia is a bit iffy though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76146: I’m a total F1 nut I couldn’t do this grid - I got one connection (AM) - realised a second one just too late. (Single winners) I should have got the dual discipline one - my bad for missing that Debut in 2015 ? Not obscure or anything 🙃- even though I could name the teams they debuted with (including Manor and Sauber and of course Torro Rossi x 2). This is niche within niche nestling in a bed of niche covered in niche sauce with a side order of niche ! The fact it is my niche and I still struggled says a lot … (1 year, 3 months ago)

Earl Grey @ #76136: Thank you Kent, this Melon is for you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76140: Bingham isn’t named after the singer - the singers were Daniel McMaster and Marti Frederikson …. But didn’t stop me getting it and getting the right score . Acceptable answers to the Homer group needs a bit more work But overall not three bad ! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76139: Very good grid, amazed myself by getting the lot ! No red herrings though :-( Still good 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76132: Close does not fit that group - it means a residential street that does not have through access for vehicles The others are all types of alleyway etc. Otherwise quite a good grid - and I did relent and include close to score 10…. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Kent @ #76136: Nice grid, but I'm not sure honeydew fits with the other fruit. I'd say "melon" is the fruit and honeydew is a variety of it, rather like putting "Granny Smith" instead of "apple". Maybe it's a regional dialect thing. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Lucky Starr @ #76130: Still no idea what the Tyson etc grid is about …. But scored 7/10 and quite enjoyed it :); (1 year, 3 months ago)

Earl Gray @ #76136: Thank you Ace, this is a good note. Banana and Kiwi do not actually grow on 'trees', which was supposed to be the tricky part. Papaya do though, so I updated it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76136: Got the fruit by chance, given that banana, kiwi and papaya all grow on trees, any of them could swap with pear, peach and plum. I thought it was tropical fruits, which almost works. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76126: I echo the other comments, but a good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76126: A very poor grid indeed. I would wish you to improve, and make the grid better for the players. Two of your groups are very specific in the response - you should start with the simplest word that connects everything. The 4 world cup scorers are all footballers, first and foremost. The solar system objects are all visible in the night sky. Simplicity for the keywords, is the key :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76121: An excellent work. Good clues, good layout and some traps make this one a brain teaser. 10 points for me, and five stars for you! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76124: I enjoyed it. I forget how it rated itself for difficulty. That's always a problem for me in the rating system. The couple of these I've done I thought were moderate. But if they were successfully moderate, should I assign them five stars because they are wonderful moderate puzzles? (1 year, 3 months ago)

A S @ #76029: It's not random words and you know it. It's how many letters to remove to get a curse word. But the groupings (especially with the numbers) are so obvious it's painful. Like, you were trying to do an inappropriate connections round but force it into a wall shape. But even then, the connections are way too easy. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Vapid @ #76121: Nice TY (1 year, 3 months ago)

Robert Chase @ #29423: good job dad (1 year, 3 months ago)

Davey @ #76061: Happy 10 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76108: Really good grid. Very well constructed. And I'm kicking myself about the counties (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76069: Wow. That was a good one. I'm very pleased with my 7. Just struggled with the dog group, which I'm very embarrassed about. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Gangster gnuo @ #76125: Like it. Not sure about Wells, though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

dr @ #76124: Straightforward lists. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76126: They are not all in the Solar system (it took my correct answer though) The chocolate bar is Yorkie not York (there are some good bars in York but not chocolate ones) Correct those and it might get better scores (the browse grids didn’t show this because it defaults to more than two stars ). I may have dragged you back to visibility Even though the football one is way to niche in its full answer for me…. Still not actually a bad grid once you correct the mistakes !

gridlington @ #29463: Hmm... The bird line needs better pictures. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76121: Must have been in tune Lots of overlaps but I saw which to exclude in each group - I can’t remember that happening before Very nice :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76123: Another brilliant grid. Thank you (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76124: Brilliant grid - looked totally impenetrable - but once I'd got one group I was hooked. Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

brinky @ #76108: nice work (1 year, 3 months ago)

John @ #76121: Thank you Kitty, love that name, for making one I could actually complete. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76121: Nice and easy grid Couple of good red herrings there 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76123: Very good. Easy, but I can see a red herring line that I nearly fell for. Well done. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76122: 10/10, but I guessed wrong for the music group connection, put in 'coffee drink cup' but got the points anyway! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76122: Very very nice! I talked myself out of one right category. Really enjoyed it (1 year, 3 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76108: High quality grid. Thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

b @ #76087: 10/10 for me, and for you - thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76118: Nice one. Yeah, you need to use singular forms in the answers, which will in any case accept the plural 's' as well. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76108: Hehe, this takes me back. I did a v similar grid several years ago :-) yours is good too (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76119: Unfortunately, whatever your views as to whether Daniel Jones _should_ be an NFL QB, he _is_ one - so can be swapped with (Janet) Jackson. Therefore your solution is not unique I'm afraid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Talia @ #76115: There seems to be an issue with some of the answers at the end for the categories no matter how much i try alter them. Sorry for any inconvenience! Hope you enjoy the grid regardless! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76108: @Vicky: Togo. It just says missing a letter, not that it's the letter A. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76114: Utter garbage. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Vicky @ #76108: Is Toga a country? 🤔 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Liz @ #76004: People who worked as teachers is an insane group, but alright, sure lol. As a Dutch person, I can't believe I didn't recognize the name Ruysch right away, I've seen her paintings! Nobody ever talks about her as a "master" here though, wonder why. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76099: Pinky and Perky were pigs, and also my first thought for that group. Works better as X and Y anyway. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Liz @ #76069: Never heard of a Sloughi, but eventhough Ive never watched Eastenders and I didnt guess the group, somehow I guessed when I saw them together. Another great, challenging grid by LittleQuill (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76104: Spelling... (1 year, 3 months ago)

player one @ #76112: not sure what happened on this grid. think you need to check the conections again to mke it more enjoable for future players.... (1 year, 3 months ago)

JM @ #76112: A similar theme which made this one easier than yesterday's - really like it though! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #76093: This was a really enjoyable and fun medium/good grid @Aetees! If I were you, I'd keep making more of these as they were really good fun and I encourage you to submit many more! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76061: Very easy, but entertaining. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76066: Easy but great fun. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76108: Well constructed. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #76093: This was far, far too easy to be classed as a medium/good grid @Aetees. If I were you, I wouldn't bother wasting any more of your clearly few brain cells on trying to submit any more. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #56933: Fantastic grid Zirguit - unlike most of the grids posted by Aetees (1 year, 3 months ago)

Hi @ #75802: Excellent (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76099: Saw what was happening pretty quick (red herring group - one in each other group - PacMan..) Struggled with a couple of frankly niche connections But the only thing that I really didn’t like was your Pinky partner ——- It’s Pinky and Perky !! Bizarrely it was Pinky of Pinky and Perky that led me to that group!, (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76104: Synonym…. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76094: It didn’t allow my answer for the Tricky group “Descriptions of a Lyrical-Lee grid” I could see the intended answer but couldn’t resist seeing if you’d spotted that potential connection too! (1 year, 3 months ago)

benj @ #76093: Iron Butterfly did that Ganna da vida (sic) song in the 60s, parodied in the Simpsons and sampled elsewhere. Great grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76093: I’d not come across Iron Butterflies - but assumed (to keep the animal connection up) that it was Iron Butterly The band who created Inna Gadda Da Vida - which Bart Simpson tricked the Springfield church organist to play by calling In The Garden Of Eden by I. Ron Butterfly ! A cracking track to boot! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Pauline @ #76093: I too presume Iron Maiden. Good grid thanks (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76094: I didn't get it at all - but now I see what you were trying - i rather like it. And I'll be prepared if you do another one of this style. Good to try fresh ideas. Thank you (1 year, 3 months ago)

JM @ #76094: Once i got it, I loved it. Very good grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

JM @ #76089: Daunting at first but I got 6/10. Good one. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #76087: Nicely done :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76092: I used lower case, as did all the clues. Maybe I mistyped it. The point about the bread is that if they're not in normal use it doesn't seem right to include them in a British English grid, which is why I phrased it as a question, given that I've not lived there for many years. (1 year, 3 months ago)

TomB @ #76093: Nice one. Never heard of Iron Butterflies, but I'd missed the animals connection and presumed Iron Maiden! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #76092: Never really understand 'I've never heard of that' as a criticism. Obscure clues might make it harder, but they don't invalidate the board. On the other hand, yes, the key words for the answers need to be widened. I'm not sure how you have it rejecting 'Jane'. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #76090: 10/10 and a well deserved 5* from a fellow Tom B :-) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76078: @weegieman, B Side of a record. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76092: Never heard of any of the breads - presumably they're foreign, so not really fair, or are these really all in everyday use in the UK now? Oh, and answers of jane, anagram and palindrome were all rejected. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76078: Bit of a mixup in the "side" explanation. Should be "followed" not "preceded" (and certainly not "proceded"). And B followed by side is Bside not beside. So, spoilt by sloppiness. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Skerm @ #76087: The purist in me loves a grid like that. 7/10 scorewise, but 5 stars for the grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JM @ #76091: I liked The Kinks/Kirsty Mac overlap. I didn't get Placebo or Seu Jorge despite knowing both those albums: D'oh! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76090: Nice one. So many red herrings/combinations it took me nearly the whole 3 minutes; only once I got the levellers group did it start to drop into place. (1 year, 3 months ago)

a @ #75926: clever red herrings here. nice job. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76087: Good stuff! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #76086: Loved this grid!! Really got me thinking, with about the right amount of crossovers:-) (1 year, 3 months ago)

adw @ #76087: Very good (1 year, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #76070: Enjoyed this one, thanks for making it! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76078: Difficult with so many letters, but nothing actually 'poor' about it. Answer explanations could be a bit better, perhaps. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76087: Proper grid :) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #76086: Confetti with just 4s left - perfectly balanced level of difficulty. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #76086: Your answer confirmation words need some more effort. I am sure metals or metal should be sufficient to acknowledge understanding. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #76075: Never played street fighter. Good easy grid otherwise (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76070: brilliant grid. I thought it was totally impenetrable to begin with - but just cracked it with 9 seconds to spare. Thank you. (1 year, 3 months ago)

fi @ #76066: Took ages to find the cars, eventually left with magazines which i really did not think was appropriate. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Observation @ #74771: The song, written by Hendrix, was released as Voodoo Chile in 1970. It was the base of Voodoo Child (slight return). Therefore either are correct. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #76078: Very poor. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76075: Oh yes - a lovely moment of reminiscing the 80's there :-) Loved it ! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #76070: Nice grid. Can you had red herrings in this kind of grid? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Quizzling @ #76074: Nice grid. The categories are pretty gettable, it's all the crossovers that put it in "hard" for me. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76060: Nice grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Dahlia @ #76070: Excellent grid, loved this! (1 year, 3 months ago)

JEREMY @ #74771: The Hendrix song is voodoo child, not chile (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76066: Nice and straightforward, decent crossovers, although the car one's been done soo many times. Point of order, or interest, the magazines all predate the '80s by at least two decades... (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76070: Nice one, Needed to think a bit. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76060: @Shane, Gardening leave is a common expression across Europe (and I thought the US as well?) for when someone is on their notice period ( they are going to leave their employment, but have to wait the month or three months as per contract before they start their new jobs) but is not required to actually do any work in that period. Not unusual when someone's being "let go" in less than friendly circumstances. A Pox Party is a misguided attempt by some parents to get their children infected with chicken pox early in life (cos they think it's less serious for children, or something) by bringing a group together when one of them has caught it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

JEREMY @ #74765: Nice grid, Gallipoli is incorrectly spelt. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76061: Good tight grid with pleasantly accessible groupings. (1 year, 3 months ago)

David @ #76013: Don't be put off by the 'anons' of this world. Anyone who takes the time to compile and post a grid for the pleasure of others should be thanked. Those who have nothing nice, or constructive, to say should really just say nothing and 'move on' (I'm being polite!) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #75959: Difficult, but got there. Tenacious D obviously a bit of a push as your say, as their first album was released before the Pick of Destiny. But throughout their careers they have been in character. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Shane @ #76060: Whats gardening leave? And pox party? Are they local things? (1 year, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #57451: Lovely grid. The group looking for band names to be added was great. However,....think you will find Andy Williams is better known for singing Moon River ( Breakfast at Tiffany's). So good idea, just need to get it right. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Jugger @ #76049: Could not agree more with the cheesy comment made by Fromage, (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76055: Great grid - good mix. All solvable - not by me of course - but a better me could definitely have done it :-) (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stacks @ #76060: Really good grid. Plenty of crossovers and RHs without being too difficult. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #75975: There is a place called Hazlemere in the UK. Also Haslemere. But I'm not sure there is a place called Hazelmere. Obviously it therefore has to relate to Hazel nut. But just wanted to point this out. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #75971: The letters. Grrr could not decide which of the lands to leave (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76047: Thanks for the comment Fairy. I wasn't aware of the negative associations of "committed" and I certainly do not regard suicide as in any way sinful. Just endlessly sad. Apologies to anyone whose sensitivities were ruffled. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #76061: Good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Stewy @ #75575: Good, a bit difficult in the time and book titles I’ve not heard of. Good grid. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #76057: Nice eclectic knowledge requirements. And a Pulp reference automatically gets a bonus star. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #76055: It doesn't accept "Three consecutive letters". (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76060: @sdg83. yes, I agree, but then it loses its RH status for the birthday group, so I get why they did it that way. Nice grid, nothing too obscure. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Methionylthreonylthreo @ #76041: Good overall but a few flaws (1 year, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #76061: Good grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ellie @ #74847: Excellent grid. Loved the concept. Got all 4 groups and could see 3 connections fairly easily. Slightly annoyed I didn't see the fourth. Really clever. Perfect level of challenging (1 year, 3 months ago)

SuperT @ #76049: I put "bag" for goodness sake (1 year, 3 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76060: Good grid, thanks. Minor comment - gardening leave is probably the more common phrase. (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76056: Excellent - liked the OT one a lot (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76057: Love the pulp line.! How did I not see it ?! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76058: The synonyms. Brilliant. Completely stumped me (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76054: My brain did not think of a stroke engine. 😳 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76049: Identical to the last 1. Down to Surna and Bag not working. Is there something that connects the authors? I'm not familiar with Reve. Otherwise like the fact that 3 of the connections are also on the grid. Satisfying (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76048: A couple of things need a little edit. Bag not working as a connection You've only got author's surna so need to finish the word. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76047: Can I make a recommendation? Could you can't the wording to "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide". Many charities that support those effected by suicide advise against the word "committed" as it implies that it is a crime or a sin. It's a sensitive topic, so worth getting it right Otherwise great grid that took me a little Google help to even get close! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #76035: Too hard for me. Knew most of the song facts, but couldn't fathom the links at all. BTW the Prince song is properly titled "Nothing Compares 2 U". Just being pedantic to make up for a 0/10 score. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Alison @ #76048: Bag definitely not working for me (nor types of bag). Presumably a glitch. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76054: Good easy grid - nice way to start the day Asia are most definitely not American though - they are English …. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76025: Good stuff. Loved the typo in the players full name. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #76048: Easy, but fun. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #75985: You've defined what the initials stand for, but not the connection. Who are Mr Black, Tench and Chapman? Are the teams and leagues mentioned all in the same sport? If guess maybe cricket? Have to say I'm just as confused by the answers as I was before them. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76017: I do not think I am the target audience for this. Failed to get the dragon armour because I'm not aware of dragons having or even needing armour. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #76029: I aced this and cannot figure out how (1 year, 3 months ago)

SarahJane @ #76035: This was a tough one. it. Got the prince connection and was scrabbling around for the ska link but it evaded me. Totally missed the punk covers though and I’m kicking myself! Loved it. Keep them coming (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76047: Mike Yarwood was such a rotten impressionist he always had to say “and this is me” before singing a song - otherwise we’d just have assumed it was another unrecognisable impression Rory Bremner is better - the other two are pretty good even if I can never tell who painted which version of Dejeuner sur l’erb.! I’ll certainly forgive that group as it’s the only one I got …. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Gridders @ #76013: A splendid grid (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76037: Oddly having just done a lyrical Lee grid music must have been on my mind as nights in white satin came to mind when I read Miller and led me straight to that group… Only just twigged the Bach group at the last second Nice grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76035: Knew all the songs Knew most of the artists both original and covers Still couldn’t see quite what you were looking for Quite a fiendish grid ! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76034: 👍 (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76033: Really good - nice overlaps and four totally different groups The witches caught me - I didn’t know there were witches in Wanda Vision I don’t really associate Magicians with the circus so I just put Types of Performer - it’s good with a group like that to allow alternate valid answers if you spot them (people get grumpy when their answers are not allowed!!) Don’t do yourself down - this is a much better grid than many that get posted on here (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76037: Brilliant grid - just solved it at the end (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76041: I rather liked this one - rather eccentric and original without being obscure (1 year, 3 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76042: wow - didn't see that at all ! Very clever. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #76048: Nice and easy grid Bag works on this one 😁 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76037: Excellent. Good variety in the groups. (1 year, 3 months ago)

jm @ #76035: Well i liked it... I thought Toferino had a point but I googled it and he did record it in 1985 as part of an album/project entitled 'The Family'... Fairly sure the others were all well documented as his performances before the 'covers'. (1 year, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #76040: Good one, and good fun (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #76013: Not a bad grid for someone who is still learning how to make the puzzles. I got 3 out of 4 groups, but I got caught by the volcanoes... I did not realise, that Mount Fuji was a volcano! But 7 out of 10 points, is not a bad score :) Keep making these! (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76037: nice one (1 year, 3 months ago)

DH @ #76040: Solid head scratcher cheers (1 year, 3 months ago)

Toferino @ #76035: I wouldn't say that the Prince songs were covers as such. He certainly wrote all those songs, but he wrote them for those artists. He released his own version of Nothing Compares 2 U long after Sinead O'Connor. Can you 'cover' your own songs? (1 year, 3 months ago)

sdg83 @ #76037: Good grid, thanks! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #76013: Ignore any whingeing, it was a good grid! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Bruce @ #76025: Two tennis ones, and neither accepted tennis! (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76035: Very very challenging. I was hunting for other Toots & The Maytals songs. Then thinking Jamaican artists. Didn't do enough two tone thinking. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #76033: I think I would probably swap acrobatic for just acrobat and make it clown. That way it's people you would see at the circus or acts at the circus. Acrobatic is the act, the others are the person performing. That would make it more cohesive. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Fairy @ #75997: I really enjoyed. Didn't get the microwave link until looking for the link though. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Idk @ #76036: Not very easy (1 year, 3 months ago)

a @ #76029: i really try to not post mean comments on the internet, but "random words" is such a terribly stupid group that i'm going to castigate you for it. if you can't be assed to think of a fourth group, maybe just wait until you're inspired before posting a grid? there's not a deadline to meet or a quota to fill. you can do better, i'm sure of it. (1 year, 3 months ago)

gergo @ #76020: (1 year, 3 months ago)

Rootbeer Queer @ #74572: One group not great, the "Feast" group was a bust, because the answer you needed to supply was a word already in the group. I don't think you're supposed, to tell the answer when you write the quiz! Also, I got away with "Words that don't mean anything" in response to the Melte group :) A poor grid, must to do better for people. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Sid @ #39529: Fiendish??? I know little of Dr Who actors but knew 2 of them had played the Doctor. Rest were straightforward I thought.. (1 year, 3 months ago)

Neil @ #76013: Don’t let the moaners put you off Nothing wrong with this grid - it’s a nice easy straightforward grid As someone else said - why not try introducing overlaps where cells can fit in more than one grid For instance Deacon could be a rank of the clergy, Taylor could be the first name of a singer, May could be a month and Mercury could be a planet. By introducing groups like those you get a grid which is just as much fun but more of a challenge You could even do one where the members of Queen are all in different groups but are not one themselves ! But those are just ideas - use your own - a fun part of solving grids is trying to work out how the sitter was thinking ! (1 year, 3 months ago)

fi @ #76025: I hate tennis!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #76006: Shepard was an astronaut (the first American in space) - and although they did send animals into space I don’t think that quite qualifies him for the group ! 😉😉😂😂 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #76021: Very challenging. I recognised the two tone bands instantly because it's such an iconic label. Not so good with my record label knowledge for the others. If have done better if one was epitaph (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #76013: I think this is an improvement. You had a bit of celestial bodies overlap. Keep thinking this way. 😊 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #76010: Very similar to the last 1. Would be more fun with some overlaps. (1 year, 4 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #76025: two simple and general rows - then two very specific knowledge based ones only for specialists - doesn't really work for me I'm afraid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ro @ #75997: Nice grid with no niche groups (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #76013: @anon, nothing wrong with. Yes, the band has been done to death and all the rest are equally easy, but it all works, including the insistence that krakatoa isn't/wasn't a mountain. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #76011: Shame this is 75% the same as another one from earlier today. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #76007: The thing it that odd, unusual or alternative spellings are sometimes used deliberately. Your Shepard, for instance, is the name of an astronaut, amongst other things, so immediately gets people wondering if that's what you mean. Worth taking a little more care, perhaps, please.

Tom @ #75978: not very good (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #66536: Fun red herrings, took a couple of scans to rule out PMs, good grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75972: Very fun, lots of red herrings. Thanks for making it! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75988: Like your next one, too easy to guess without knowing why, and I don't know where you're getting these British Values from, sounds like some bullsh1t right-wing rhetoric to me. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75990: @Natalia, maybe, but I guessed the group because they were all obviously people's names. Also guessed the prepared group although I've never heard of "British Values" (and yes, I am). (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #66578: Didn't accept 'docking areas' otherwise 100%! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75972: Good grid shame a day and week grid the same not this gridder's fault, just saying (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ro @ #75975: Enjoyable. Enough variety . (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #66669: Same re supernataral creatures! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nat Atkins @ #30077: Decent (1 year, 4 months ago)

Nat Atkins @ #39586: Not bad. Should accept animals rather than needing to specify big cats. Others not bad. Do not tell me what i can or cant comment on. Louise assisted. Who knew. (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75991: A bit easier than usual. Thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mart @ #65487: An entertaining grid. The rude birds did make me giggle like a 14 year old. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75725: Lovely. Nice tight groups, and a few herrings. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Natalia @ #75990: For people who actually know TWD, it's good. (1 year, 4 months ago)

jm @ #75978: Too many interchangeables for my liking - more than one solution which made it really difficult. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75977: For me more general knowledge (or actually specific film knowledge) than working out connections, so not so much fun as for film buffs. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75978: Nice idea, but I thought scratch that and scratch record were a bit weak. Otherwise good fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Don @ #75974: Oh, the NATO phonetic alphabet again. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75980: R group..... Weak (1 year, 4 months ago)

Lyrical-Lee @ #75962: Thanks all. I post them from my laptop where the text length isn't such an issue... I'll consider this in future grids. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Milton1989 @ #75980: Pretty sweet. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rupert @ #75980: One category is a little tough, but overall one of the best grids I’ve seen in weeks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Stew @ #75590: What a grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dee @ #75980: Other categories are good but the "Tuesday" group category is way too abstract (1 year, 4 months ago)

M.mouse @ #75944: Female vocalists not accepted! (1 year, 4 months ago)

film buff @ #75977: That was fun! TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75972: 10/10 pleased with that (1 year, 4 months ago)

Frankie @ #75972: Good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75977: Failed to sort out the MBs from the FZs although I’d guessed what I was looking for Thank you for accepting my dreadful spelling of FZ’ surname !! (I only knew two were his but that was enough ! ) Ditto for MB although I could spell that ! I guess the only trouble with grids like this is you either know or you don’t ! This time I knew enough and thoroughly enjoyed it I’d maybe have left the !s out as seeing made that obvious - but you weren’t that mean ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75854: Had another go, and got it this time, go figure🙂 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #75977: Not too hard for a fan of the silver screen but there is a fiendish sting, sorry (1 year, 4 months ago)

Personwithname @ #75944: Would be good if the speak group accepted talking as an answer. Another excellent grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75974: Well done on correctly spelling Juliett the NATO alphabet way - so many grid setters get that wrong :) Good grid with good overlapping groups (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75973: Very straightforward - fun to do :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75971: Not bad Frustratingly doesn’t allow Buffy actors .. Nice neat overlaps (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75969: A straightforward enjoyable easy grid - :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75966: A decent grid based around the IOM during TT week - nice :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dee @ #75974: @Doc Filth @Alex Wojtak As part of the NATO alphabet Juliett is traditionally spelled with 2 Ts to prevent mispronunciation from speakers of languages like French (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75974: Red herrings galore 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alex Wojtak @ #75974: Got thrown by the misspelling. How many t's are we putting on poor Juliet! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75937: Loved it (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75962: Your grid is great - it’s just a shame with the longer ones that they overlap which means it is harder to read. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #75974: Juliet has one T. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75963: Enjoyable. I was let down by my sheltered upbringing and unfamiliarity with marijuana terms :) So got the group but not the links. Glad to broaden my mind though (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75971: Very good (1 year, 4 months ago)

Frankie @ #75973: Good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75973: Great (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75974: Loved it (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75972: Nice neat grid, fairly easy but entertaining. Liked the hidden word in wombat. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Greg @ #75969: A good one. Managed it, but not easy (1 year, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #53170: Aaaagh! I knew it was Abba songs, but I couldn't get the last one! Dancing Queen! Doh! 🤣 (1 year, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #75954: @Bathfood, you are right. There are 76,000 grids on here! If they were all the same format it would soon get very boring. I like the picture ones too! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liz Truss @ #57508: Um . . . . er . . . (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75972: Good grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75954: Loved the "holes" connection (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75742: The groups were all lovely, but I'm not such a fan where the groups are all the same type - in this case all "followed by". OC normally limits itself to one lexicographical connection per wall, and for good reason. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75745: Goodness. Wherever did you find Gooseneck Loosestrife from? Thanks for the learning moment. Some fun links and herrings. I really appreciated the clock group. Nicely done. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75762: I know and like Chvrches, but I'm not sure their singles merit an OC wall. 🤣 (1 year, 4 months ago)

sdg83 @ #75956: Good grid, thanks, have enjoyed all the gruds you've posted in last day or so (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bruce @ #75962: Surely "Son of a Preacher-Dusty Springfield"? Last category (Boys and Girls) was a bit vague - could have at least given us the other words - e.g. Hey Hey Chemical Brothers (1 year, 4 months ago)

sdg83 @ #75954: Good grid, I also enjoy the grids that are more like the show's ones (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75769: I'm unsure how to rate the difficulty. 3 groups solved in rapid time, and then utterly stumped on the father group. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Baldrick @ #75947: Very good - I was convinced there was an icecream one in there somewhere... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Baldrick @ #75954: Fun grid. Whimsical, but lots of good connections and red herrings (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75784: Same. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75874: Nice. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75878: An interesting reversed dynamic. I spent two minutes staring at the grid saying "What?!?!?". But then I saw one link, then another two, and then it all tumbled into place with a rush. My opinion is that all clues fit, although that Woolf novel is decidedly obscurer (sic) than most clues on this site. I learned something new, so thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #75962: I really struggled to read these with them overlapping so much from the long text (1 year, 4 months ago)

Penguin @ #75908: #Liz thank you. You’re quite right, I should’ve added more than just synonyms to the description and have now done so. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Toferino @ #75937: Not getting the significance of the numbers? I thought years of release, but Karate Kid is a 1980s movie. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75962: Interesting. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75954: @gusthefox Nicely done. Thx (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75954: @barry wom I agree. It's so nice to see a well thought out proper grid like this. I'm not sure the others you refer to are out of ignorance. I think they're just experimenting with the concept and trying to explore new ideas of what can be done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75951: 7/10 is good (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rustic @ #75963: Tricky but gettable. Like the range of clues but in familiar patterns. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75937: Got me furrowing my brow a bit good quiz (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75954: A proper grid with four different connections and neat overlaps - very good :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75935: Nice easy grid Frustrated it didn’t accept the prefix The for the group which all start with the word The… (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75933: Nice grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75956: Good, (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dee @ #72102: overlapping red herrings mean this wall has other possible solutions. (1 year, 4 months ago)

skyler (guyfierifan) @ #75956: nice! i enjoyed all the red herrings, like perhaps "tinkerbell" and "alexander (graham) bell". or maybe i am not that smart. (1 year, 4 months ago)

savetheclocktower @ #74539: Not bad altogether, but one quibble: it's rough to give us four of the commonest names for men and ask what they have in common. (1 year, 4 months ago)

David @ #75933: Great puzzle even if the Tobey connection went way over my head ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

savetheclocktower @ #75302: The Schwarzenegger roles were a great category. I didn't mind the film focus, but having two different categories of robots was not exactly to my liking. (1 year, 4 months ago)

LadyMonde @ #75923: Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75939: Nice one. Couple of the groups were partially guessable from the single article and from the plurals, so slightly easier than it could have been. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dee @ #72893: "Holiday" in the US doesn't only refer to days that are officially given off work. However the full name of the holiday is "Valentine's Day," not just Valentine's, so it doesn't quite fit the category. Cute, breezy grid. All items should be capitalized though (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75933: Lovely. Four novel connections, with no tenuous or contrived elements. Fun! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75928: Wow! I resolved the wall super quickly, but was stumped by that Cleansing line. A great connection, and today I learned a great fact about cleansing, too. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75903: Lovely. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75939: It's pretty 'niche' to be honest.... i got 6: knew the songs but not well enough to do it in time. (1 year, 4 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75934: Very good (1 year, 4 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75936: Great grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #75895: A lovely grid. I agree with Neil about one jumping out, but there was still work to be done. If it hadn't been been for them, I'd have been completely adrift - some of those consonant combinations are far from unique. A couple of red herrings (I didn't spot any) could have been fun. Nicely done. 👏👏👏 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Kensuke @ #75919: What i *would* say, is that you've got one of the names wrong in the bible one. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75906: Goodness me, that was a difficult grid. My knowledge of films songs from classic Hollywood and baldness is very poor. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75903: Really nice grid, some excellent overlaps. All in all very satisfying. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #40503: Quite. The other lines were good though. (1 year, 4 months ago)

123 @ #75927: Fair enough (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75927: Good ideas, but some entries just don't work for their groups. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75927: Only one of those is a fictional country. Xanadu was a real place later romanticised by Coleridge Shangri La is a fictional valley that has come to represent earthly paradise Valhalla is a Hall in the Norse mythological afterlife realm of Asgard The red herrings appear to be mythical paradise too - is the description an error? Or have I totally missed the point. Such inaccuracy is not like you. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liz @ #75908: Maybe would be nice if the actual description of the group of synonyms would also be accepted? Not just "synonyms". Still, great grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75899: @Toferino, I'd be interested to see any OC grids that allow multiple possible solutions. Crossovers, aka red herrings, are of course expected, and within any one group there may be any number (up to 1820, if my maths is correct) of possible combinations, but across the entire grid there should be only one.

Toferino @ #75899: @Ace, you clearly aren't a fan of Only Connect. There is no requirement for a unique solution at all. In fact the so-called crossovers are expected. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75912: Nice simple grid. You forgot to put the colours in the answer texts though. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75915: I like the idea of the French and French-derived words as a red herring. Elargir, though, is the infinitive sense of the verb, meaning 'to enlarge. Is there some other context in which it's used as written? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75903: Very clever grid.... Loved it.... Annoyed I only got 6/10.....should have aced it (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75891: First time I've seen Papa Roach in a grid. I was losing my sight, losing my mind trying to find that connection. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Finn @ #75912: Cool (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75879: Good grid. The definitions worked for me. I would say dinner for a cooked evening meal and tea for a light evening meal, so worked for me. And I've heard cannabis called bud too. Though I took the others to be names for cocaine. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75909: Fine and easy. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75899: Fun grid, though I tend to agree there should only be one unique solution, but I always did tend to be a bit of a pedant :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75898: Loved the Queen red herring, and thought religious offices could have been accepted (quibble), agree about Pluto and also don't know why it only got 2 stars. So all in all I'm like everyone else! (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75909: Nice straightforward fun grid. Might be an idea to give the surnames of the Formula One drivers for non-aficionados (1 year, 4 months ago)

JB920 @ #75907: @scousemouse and @Neil, I put too much thought into it. I didn't even think of Sandom and i highlighted ROYAL to show he was an actual Queen member and not a +. It's changed to be a bit easier. Sorry bout that (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75909: Very simple and easy grid - fun to do :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75908: A nicely put together grid :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75907: The Who’s original drummer was NOT Kieth Moon - it was Doug Sandom Bryan May’s ROYAL singer - Not keen on that either - it rather implies who sang with him at the Platinum Jubilee concert which was Adam Lambert (who is also a singer in Queen negating that royal implication It’s fiendish enough without the clues being plain wrong A good idea let down by inaccuracy (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #75898: Please add clergy or even religious occupations to possible answers. Ditto to the above comment re Pluto. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75898: I gave it four stars too although should accept clergy but that's a minor quibble! Not all grids need to be mensa so shame on those who gave it few stars. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75899: Ace that is the whole point so many red herrings I am sure I have grown extra wrinkles keep em coming! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75899: @Neil, I don't think it's the first time they've been mixed up like this. Slight gripe though that Opera and Races are interchangeable between the two groups. (1 year, 4 months ago)

beep boop @ #67857: the katy perry song is firework (singular) not plural (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75898: I only found this because I changed the search to include poor grids - it had a two star ranking I don’t know why It’s a neat grid with a full red herring group that neatly overlaps everywhere I thought it well worthy of the four stars I gave it Cleverly put together and enjoyable to solve - I’m glad I found it :) Only pedantic gripe is that Pluto shouldn’t be in that group anymore 🤔😉😉👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75899: I suppose someone was bound to overlap Queen albums and Marx brothers sooner or later - although it’s not a coincidence that they do overall - I’m only surprised you didn’t sneak the Pet Shop Boys in too It made for a nice grid though - I did enjoy it :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75895: Seemed quite easy - one in each group jumped out and it fell into place Nice combination of a connecting wall and missing vowels :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

mal @ #75878: Wouldn't call a plug a bath ''accessory'' but not a bad grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75894: Hard but not fiendish A Quipu is a means of record keeping using string - but you don’t need to know that to get the group - in fact it made it easier as it pointed to a word play group. Good overlaps - but not too many - nicely balanced grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75893: Lots of question marks on this one You get Light Railways - but I’ve never heard of a light train A cable drawn railway is a funicular - using cable to connect to railway is tenuous I’ve never heard of a single one of the knives ( but that doesn’t mean they are wrong of course) Angel is part of a brand name but I don’t think it’s a type of dessert - and Molten is tenuous Fiendish for sure - but not for the right reasons for me Good ideas…. But didn’t click for me (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75880: Another good one I typed Professions which wasn’t allowed (maybe maid isn’t a profession - but it’s always a guess what the setter uses to describe groups like that one ) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Avenger @ #57961: Boris the spider is actrack by The Who, it appears on the album - Meaty Beaty Bigg and Bouncy. Fabulous record! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75879: Close but no cigar from me Liked the idea but not some of the ‘definitions’ Dinner does not describe tea by any definition It can be breakfast - dinner - tea (it was where I come from ) It can be breakfast - lunch - afternoon tea - dinner ( maybe in Harrogate … ) But dinner is never the same thing as or a description of tea. And Ocean is dubious for sea too. Would have been good, it’s unusual to get overlaps on grids like this - but maybe “programming language” and “the A Team’s Mr” would have worked better - other valid options are available !!

Neil @ #75839: I spent too much time trying to fit the integral of force with respect to time into a group !!! But got there with over 30 seconds to spare A physics A Level helped with this one which I did find easy once I stooped being dum But very much enjoyed myself ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

David Rees @ #75824: Fantastic grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75837: It seems to work - it took alphabetically ordered phrases - so your key wording skills are in fine fettle (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #75818: Chris, hops aren’t normally used in whisky distilling, so I wouldn’t expect such a niche ingredient to be accepted. I expected “stages of distilling” to have worked, but this was seemingly too broad. Frustrating grid 🙁 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fun @ #75806: Interesting grid, but 'weapon' was not allowed for the 'weapons' category, the same story for 'religious buildings' for the 'places of worship category'! Other than that, good grid, loved the 'St. Paul's' category. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Kevin @ #75819: Easy grid but truly bizarre categories. Why specifically running? Why specifically cricket (as opposed to baseball, for example)? Crockery rejected... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75819: Very easy but fun. I echo the keywords comments. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75815: A good grid bur pretty easy. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75822: ? Suze - Suez isn’t in France it’s in Egypt - is there an anagram that fits the group - I can’t see one. ? Rowers - bike at the start? Where? - again I can’t see it. Ditto Radical @Ace - Bridge cameras are a thing - Digital cameras between basic point and shoot like phone cameras and full on DSLR cameras (1 year, 4 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #75824: Really clever grid didn't get all the connections but could appreciate the thought. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75824: Very clever. Fine grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75826: Good stuff! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75822: three groups have one that doesn't seem to fit. Bridge, Suze, Rowers . It may seem clever to the setter but if you can't work out why they fit even given the connection then it's not really in the spirit of the thing. At the very least give an explanation if there is one. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75819: Nice and neat. Fortunately, unlike Neil, my keywords were accepted. I think there's often a bit of luck involved here. I notice I sometimes forget obvious connecting words too. I take the points anyway :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #75818: Should really accept synonyms for the cleaning answer, and also hops for the whisky question as that's what you're performing the action on. Agree that it's not beer-specific, and more correctly you could go containers of liquid or 'things that have alcohol in'. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75821: Nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75819: Very easy and enjoyable grid but with very poor key words for the answers - rejected four perfectly valid ones (like crockery) Makes it rather frustrating (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75824: Very good, enjoy this sort of grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75818: Not bad - not bad at all and quite easy… But to be pedantic - Firkin and Barrel are not really ways of keeping beer - nor is a glass When it comes to beer, Firkin and Barrel are volumes, usually used as ways to describe sizes of cask (a firkin at 9 gallons is a quarter of a barrel at 36 gallons ) A glass is a way of serving beer but you wouldn’t keep it in a glass.

Frankie @ #75821: OK (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75813: Very nice multiple overlapping grid Barry Island leapt out at me - not because of the seaside town but because it’s the name of the railway scrap yard that didn’t do its job and led to the availability of mostly intact steam locomotives and hence the vast majority of now preserved operational locos! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75809: One for Londoners As a northerner I could see what the connections all were - but missed getting the street/road groups separated So only scored six Nice fun grid never the less (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75808: Neat :) I still don’t know what a Ziti is - but I assume you bake them 😂 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75806: Sergeant would be the correct spelling But that word does not appear in a Beatles Album It’s Sgt.

Ace @ #75799: @Neil, you say that like it's a bad thing. I enjoyed it - much better than so many others with things like pokemon types and Taylor Swift lyrics. 10/10, thanks to the recent BBC series of David Copperfield. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75801: Another I wasn’t sure how to rate for difficulty The mixture of real and stage names actually made it much easier and reduced the permutations (John Lydon in one band not Johnny Rotten as in the other). I’d done the SP group before starting the SATB one so missed that red herring ! Ultimately rather niche - great for anyone with knowledge of 70/80s punk etc. (but that includes me so great for me !

Neil @ #75761: This demonstrates I over- scored the quality on the previous grid - grids are supposed to have only one correct solution !! I usually dock a star when there is more than one !! Crafty re-use of the grid an amusing though so I’ll forgive you ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75760: Nice and easy Wasn’t sure how hard to score difficulty for it - not everyone will find the names category easy I didn’t spot it when solving the grid - only when I’d selected the rest and it fell into place - and I’m a fan! But for me it it was very easy so I went with that :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Kevin @ #75748: Rymans are still trading. Slightly misleading one but otherwise a good grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75739: Thank you Plod for giving me a shower of much needed confetti, I was starting to doubt my abilities. Plus I believe "--" the Tank, was a WWE fighter and nothing to do with Rev W Awdry, or am I wrong? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75723: @Trix - it actually says since 1923 on the label - so spot on - my mistake I don’t know where I got 1922 from but it was in my head… Didn’t matter because I knew Disney down to the actual day ( it happens to be my birthday although not 1923 in my case !! ) A good fun grid even if you de spell my favourite confectionary the American way!

Ace @ #75721: Nice one. Perhaps if I'd spotted the conjunction link it would have made it easier, but I was quite unable to get the connection on the sack group, so it's up to Hard in my book, (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #75723: @Neil, from National Museum of Australia "Vegemite was invented in Melbourne in 1923 when an Australian food manufacturer requested a product similar to British Marmite. This spread made from brewer’s yeast became a distinctively ‘Australian food’ despite being owned by an American company for several decades. Vegemite is carried around the world by Australians as a way to reaffirm their connection to home." (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75723: I didn’t see a US flag in this grid so it should be Liquorice. Wasn’t Vegemite’s 100th 2022? I found it hard to rate this grid - I solved it very quickly and got all the connections - but there was a lot of luck in that. I only knew the connection for two of the Disney group and two of the Daryl Hannah group - but guessed right at the last minute. Got the Daryl Hannah group based on actresses and the Disney one fell into place So it felt easy - but was it early ? Sometimes luck just goes my way ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75722: A very easy one this time I do wonder if there is a way to overlap some groups Harder to set I suspect and harder to complete but would be nice to try :) a good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75721: Took a while to get going - but after getting the so group guessed they were all conjunctions and fell nicely into place A good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Hi @ #75698: Nice grid. I thought the queen, down, pocket, king group was to do with poker. They are all cards in poker. A downcard, pocket card (or hole card) is one that's dealt face-down. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75709: Actually I rated it medium for difficulty even though you say it was deliberately easy . ! But then again I did a lyrics one the other day that everyone had rated fiendish and I found extremely easy - we don’t all think the same way! Solved in the wrong order and might not have noticed the TT tribute if you hadn’t pointed it out - but excellent idea non the less (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75705: Yes it’s for fun - but grid setters generally want to be accurate and several acknowledge feedback and even edit grids to improve them - and in this case my own feedback is to say I also found the “county” connection tenuous Trix sets good grids usually and this was a largely a good grid too - and I do enjoy the clue based ones like it - but it’s not Trix’ best because of that group (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75705: Very clever, although I think the English county grid is tenuous. It doesn't really mean 'de-seat rider' (even if that's often the result) and it doesn't apply to all male mammals. I enjoyed it, though. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75631: Nice and simple. Unlike another I am familiar with a pork pie hat. I associate it with Reggae and Ska musicians. The two tone music of the late 70s early 80s.

Salsa is kind of a sauce and the others are so saucer they are known as Mint sauce, chilli sauce and hollondaise sauce. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75628: I figured out the connections, bit had to use Google to help get the members of each. So a slight cheat. Very challenging, but great idea. The authors one confused me a bit. Bachman is King's pseudonym. But Blair is Orwell's birth name. Bell was the Brontë pseudonym but Cornwell was LeCarre's real name. So you have two Pseudonyms in that group and two birth names.

Delboy @ #75658: 10/10 here. What a fun grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75664: I like your grids. Pop music is the only subject where i stand a chance of getting a ten. (7/10 on this one) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #71730: I don't object to extra points but I guessed Cathedral for The Office characters and got it right, not sure how or why! (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75665: Issues: Raquet not racket, the soccer/rugby group are all sports with a ball too. Enjoyable though - Easy to group them. (1 year, 4 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #75658: Loved it - I couldn't figure out why Red Rain wouldn't go... got there in the end. (1 year, 4 months ago)

WTProject @ #75646: Great grid Jatt! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75659: Hard (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75658: I always look for you're grids .... They're the best for me as a musician... Got 10/10 today (1 year, 4 months ago)

Noelski @ #75638: Thanks for all your comments. Much appreciated. Noelski (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70723: Dark Knight - if only there was a way to do that, it might also be possible to filter out the mewling, sour grapes comments from people who don't have the right field of knowledge, or the lateral thinking ability to cope with some grids. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71154: Awful. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75654: Nice links - but a bit contrived. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75646: Really enjoyed the grid, thanks :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #75544: Nice grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75606: Great ideas, but there are numerous equally valid solutions. Bee could swap with eye, bee could take eye's place, while eye took yew's place and yew took bee's place, or bee could take eye's place, with eye moving to hour's place,hour moving to yew's place, and yew taking bee's place.

Sid Kneebridge @ #75641: Tough (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75652: The answers aren’t the only linguistic connections Writing the same word twice doesn’t really work in a grid anyway Nice though - but definitely no cigar here I’m afraid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75652: Oh, dear, doesn't work for me. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75653: Very enjoyable. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75648: Very clever grid. Highly enjoyable. (1 year, 4 months ago)

SuperT @ #75634: Is Kevin Trippier related to Kieran? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #75631: Had never heard of the porkpie hat or merengue dance so failed to find the connections but could name them once laid out. I find joining salsa (a dip/topping), hollandaise (a sauce), chili (a meal), and mint (an herb) together as anything other than "edible" a bit of a stretch. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #75524: Did not think I would get this in time once I spotted the trick, but luckily the connections were obvious. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jay @ #75618: This was fantastic!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

James @ #75638: Absolute disaster! I should've done much better... (1 year, 4 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #75574: Nice grid 👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #75632: I think I should be pleased with myself for even getting one group in that. (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75636: Fiendish - surely?? (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75636: Wow - too tough for my small brain - nothing by the time limit and only two once i had the correct groups - the animals one is brilliant!! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75634: Enjoyed this! (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75628: I didn't change anything. After checking the grid, I see I didn't actually say Bachman and Bell were real names. However, Puddles is right in that I should have allowed "Pseudonyms" as a connection, just didn't think of it, sorry (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75456: 7/10....missed out with the tube stations.... Hard but good (1 year, 4 months ago)

Aalhad @ #75624: The lack of capitalisation on the film and song title first letters is probably irking me more than it should (1 year, 4 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: G: amended (1 year, 4 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: count+snackula: football is 'soccer' in many places around the world, especially those places that already have 'football' of another type e.g. gaelic, American, rugby, etc. I'm happy to amend. (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75628: I ran out of time with nothing solved but got the links - very tough! well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75631: 10/10 😜 (1 year, 4 months ago)

count+snackula @ #75624: G: football is not called soccer. (1 year, 4 months ago)

adw @ #75632: Absolutely rock hard but very good (1 year, 4 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: Gordash, I'm not sure what you mean. Can you be specific? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Noelski @ #75624: G, I will try to amend to include 'soccer'. I'm not sure how to, but... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75631: Easy but fun. Nice grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75631: Surely is should be dunce’s with the possessive s…. Only a minor gripe though - nice easy wall to start the day (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #75626: nice grid, herrings had me running in circles for a bit.... 10/10 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gordash @ #75624: Good grid, but your answers are too restrictive throughout (1 year, 4 months ago)

avi @ #73133: typos (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #44938: Enjoyed. The last line was something a bit different. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75628: Think you got the wrong end of the stick there puddles. That is what the connection is - pseudonyms of writers better known by their real names - the other groups are all real names - that group is the other way round (or am I seeing a corrected version ?) Definitely fiendish - but equally definitely a good grid !! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75558: I've learnt something. Never heard of a tallboy or Mickey before (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75628: Thanks Puddles, sloppily formulated on my part. If I can work out how to do it (not very good on the PC) I shall correct it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Puddles @ #75628: Richard Bachman and Acton Bell are pseudonyms, not real names. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Stephen B @ #75524: Would be nice to accept garments rather than clothing (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #75609: Derry air (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75620: Very contrived. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75597: Well constructed and fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

G @ #75615: Should accept 'Missing letter at end' as a correct solution to second group (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75608: Very good. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75618: 10 out of 10 for me... Feeling smug lol (1 year, 4 months ago)

Kristin @ #75614: Interestingly, WHITE can go in front of everything in the circus group. The White Circus is a movie; White ham is a very specific type of ham; White Castle is an American burger chain; and whitewater is an area of rapids AND a political scandal during Bill Clinton's presidency. But, no worries! I just gave myself the point. 😊 Nice grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75612: Too tough for this time in the morning!! well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #75614: Please add Manhattan as an acceptable answer (1 year, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #75615: Good grid. TY :-) Suggest the following corrections: 1. Accept currencies vs European currencies 2. Pick another poet other than Auden as we Brits like to claim him as ours vs American :-) Thank you for accepting "Poets" as an answer (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75615: Nice straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #75590: Sadly the Sally clue was too obscure, way more than the rest of the puzzle, in my opinion. Great otherwise though! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #70112: V clever, pitched just right and a little spin (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75615: Didn’t accept currencies ? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75610: As a prog nut this grid should have appealed to me But as any fan of King Crimson, Yes, The Nice and even Asia knows, the number of interchangeable members is a mathematical nightmare It might not surprise you to know that I scored zero for identifying groups and 4 for naming the connections (1 year, 4 months ago)

Antny @ #75606: Nice grid, thank you, whoever yew are (1 year, 4 months ago)

Welcome_to_the_OC @ #75608: Good grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcolm @ #75589: (1 year, 4 months ago)

malcolm @ #75589: A few notes: tilted group - some are singular and some are plural. I feel they should match Jenga group- three of the group match the category, but actually Jenga does not Mitt group- In a UK grid, I don't think Mitt really fits with the connection - I think that only works in a place where baseball is a thing (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcolm @ #75589: (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75588: Bit annoying to get an American sport group in a British-flagged grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75595: Very clever. Far too clever for me, at least. Only got a group and its connection. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75591: *Groans* at the HoG group. Got me, even though I watch it all the time. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75589: Nice grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75587: Clever, with a nice mixture of gener knowledge and word based links, but too full of obscure clues, like 'Kateh'. Also, I think it's a bit unfair to have 'Leopold' rather than 'Leo' as the clue on the grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75586: Great grid. Like the snow see. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Liz @ #75493: Really wish the brits would allow color as a spelling too, we're not all native english speakers, really spoils the fun of the game. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #75580: I couldn't decide if this was good or annoying. I guess its fun, but a group of "double set of double letters" in a grid that all have that, just makes it a random group of stuff that is not the other 3 groups. Not an actual connection between them that specifically excludes the others. (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75569: Nice one. I got sidetracked looking for Roger to complete the Who (Pete Townsend, Keith Moon, John Entwhistle) Good work. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #75577: Long John Silver? A mythical dwarf???? (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75574: Not bad apart from the points one. An argument has points? Bit tenuous I thought. (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75581: Not as much fun as usual. Could not get the homophone connection or the bul-bul lot (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75544: Loved the "Murray" group! (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75554: Very enjoyable (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75554: (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jenni @ #75544: Very clever (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #75581: It did! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75581: Heard it's cousin sing in Berkeley Square once. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75581: Confetti time thanks, now got to look up bul. TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trillium @ #75556: Left me feeling kind of...blue. 😂 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Aitch @ #75580: Fun grid! Football is a compound, containing both complete words instead of part of them. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #75359: Took a while to deconstruct logically but I got 10/10 nice work (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trillium @ #75580: Double trouble, indeed! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #75526: I enjoyed it, got marked down to 7/10 as I said 'cut the' for one of the groups which I think is an acceptable alternative but good grid overall. (1 year, 4 months ago)

benj @ #75577: Singer is Alecia Moore (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75580: Good. Is fotball not a portmanteau too? (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75569: Like Mister E - I got all the links but only got the Stones and the Kinks within the time. Nice one. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75580: Fun. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #75554: good stuff B) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #75576: Fun! TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75574: Lovely (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #46065: Easy. Fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #75554: Good grid - thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sands @ #75497: I put marsupials (1 year, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #75557: Ingen is Danish for "no" as in "not any". "Nej" is the word you were looking for. (1 year, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #75555: Richard Badger, yes that's the only way I could get it - plus the original UK series of The Office doesn't have those characters in. And is Polo a brand? Or is it a part of the Ralph Lauren brand? (1 year, 4 months ago)

MACKY @ #75571: snoroooooort (1 year, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #75551: Nice one, liked the politician anagrams in particular (1 year, 4 months ago)

MisterE @ #75569: I worked out all the bands but couldn’t quire get the line-ups within the time limit. Fun grid to do. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75510: Great grid. Agree with below. ALI answers rhyme so that should be an acceptable connection, your answer doesn't really match. But I'm proud I worked of most of the cryptic answers (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #46157: Like! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75568: Anything but very easy - which is fine - but worse - rejects Popeye and Flintstones as group answers… Nice concept overlapping actors and characters - but frustrating to have answers rejected (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #75560: I like Eggheads! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #48915: ☝️what pedant said. Also facial features. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75556: Great grid, but it gave me the blues.. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75554: Nice grid. Good red herrings (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75555: One set is identifiable because it is in lower case (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75556: Too much blue (1 year, 4 months ago)

DH @ #75559: Good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75554: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Enzed @ #75556: Very nice. Unless you support Real Madrid, Arsenal, Manchester United or Inter Milan None of them want reminding of a certain cerulean colour (1 year, 4 months ago)

BinDipper @ #68911: Micro refers one millionth. I think Lill is incorrect there. It is a numerical prefix - if you want to call it that. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75552: Doesn’t accept the answers given in the solution Suspect you’ve failed to enter key words Bit pointless like this (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #73676: I spent too long trying to find the 4th FF7 character, good grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75556: Not great. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Lill @ #68911: Technically, “micro” is not a numerical prefix. Just means “small (1 year, 4 months ago)

Pale+Fisher @ #75557: Ingen means nobody, not no. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75514: Oh that Springtime is here Adolf. Thanks (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #73955: Alas 'Preservation methods' didn't work, otherwise good, thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #74066: Good grid, I've never even heard of Oan. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75556: It's a stinker 😀 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #74138: 10/10 - good grid - and added bonus that I had to look up 'ounce', got the connection but wasn't familiar with the term, nice to learn something:) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Lago Mera @ #75524: Heavenly bodies wasn’t allowed. Otherwise clever. (1 year, 4 months ago)

cAmDeN @ #75459: good i was one word away from two (1 year, 4 months ago)

$@wyer @ #75459: I am only in 3rd grade so I knew none of the matches😅 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75552: What??? Literally got all the links right word perfect and it didn't give me any of them (1 year, 4 months ago)

J @ #75514: Loved it! Neil, love your comment! :D (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75522: Agree with comments about ivy - never heard the phrase before. Otherwise excellent (1 year, 4 months ago)

Matt Harmon @ #75524: Awesome! (1 year, 4 months ago)

rustyp @ #75549: cheers jonathan, my bad (1 year, 4 months ago)

Cajun @ #75328: Very well done.... 10/10 but you had me going for a bit (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jonathan @ #75549: The Joseph Mist anagram is missing a letter (1 year, 4 months ago)

Michael scott @ #75549: That’s what she said (1 year, 4 months ago)

steven @ #75549: lol love gladys (1 year, 4 months ago)

JM @ #75532: I got thr Dora group and the blues - others were more tricky... well done. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #75522: Always love a Trix grid. The ivy one was a new one for me too but perfectly possible to work it out by elimination (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75512: Gems, perhaps, but not stones. And I thought the names group was a cop-out. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #75524: Cracking good grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75544: Didn't accept 'anniversaries' - maybe make the key word just 'anniversar' to get all the possibilities? Otherwise, very good. (1 year, 4 months ago)

MACKY @ #75546: Your stoppid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ro @ #75544: Nicely constructed grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

b @ #75531: I didn't watch the Eurovision nonsense. It hasn't been any good since Lulu won back in '69, so although I completed the grid, I did not get all the connections. (1 year, 4 months ago)

MACKY @ #75545: SHAERt (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jatt @ #75520: Good grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #74325: Really liked this one. And the comments suggest it was edited - this version is very good (1 year, 4 months ago)

H @ #75533: Loved it. (1 year, 4 months ago)

MACKY @ #75541: stoopid (1 year, 4 months ago)

MACKY @ #75539: FAERt (1 year, 4 months ago)

MACKY @ #75542: POEp (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75522: @Trix, robed with ivy, perhaps, but not robbed. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75522: Nice one, not too difficult to guess 10/10 even if you don't get the cover with ivy one, which even after a web search only half makes sense, some obscure blogger called cover but no ivy connection, so I guess I still haven't got it either. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Frankie @ #75509: I only got, let it be , but enjoyed the grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Frankie @ #75504: Liked this (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75535: Very good - clever red herring with the playing cards. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75536: Tricky, but fun for a football fan. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Frankie @ #75535: Good grid👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75373: Good one :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75528: I much prefer these grids with four distinct groups and red herrings, rather than the gimmicky ones that are obvious once you work out the gimmick. Enjoyed it - thank you. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75524: Really enjoyed this one, thank you! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75522: Lovely (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75528: Should allow stadia (one of the plurals of stadium) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75531: Didn't solve groaned a lot when I saw the solution...great grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Trix @ #75522: @Joe, have you heard the expression to describe a house as robbed with ivy? Bit old fashioned perhaps. : ) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75524: Great way to start my day! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Micharn @ #75524: Wow, loved this so much! Great to work out. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #75522: Good grid. But don't understand the cover with ivy clue (1 year, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #72418: Brilliant :-) TY (1 year, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #74887: Great grid TY. (1 year, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #75015: Fun! Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

spikethecat @ #75533: Educational and enjoyable. Thanks :-) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #75537: In addition to the above, you allow “stuff” in the first group, but not the second. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Marylin @ #75537: I think you have made a mistake. The blue group is things you use on your face, and the answer says 'teachers' (1 year, 4 months ago)

Marylin @ #75537: I think you have made a mistake. The blue group in things you use on your face, and the answer says 'teachers' (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75528: It’s Qantas Misspellings make grids frustrating and more difficult - is it just a misspelling or deliberate as part of a word clue Quality suffers as a result.. Otherwise all good :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Hummus @ #75524: Keep 'em coming you beauty. I guessed locations/streets but didn't even notice it was specific as thoroughfares!! what a perfect grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75524: These double clue grids are fun - but the double clues do actually make them easier I reckon… 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75522: Fairly decent fairly easy … quite good fun… I still don’t get the cover with Ivy clue - but it didn’t stop me solving the grid - I’d just like to know! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75520: It doesn’t like cheese (and it’s Camembert) The festival group is marginal - Am Ring just means “on the ring” it’s only a festival when prefixed by Rock. The others are festivals without adding extra words. Pretty good grid otherwise - but grids should be accurate really…. The misspelling means it is not considered for the group initially - assuming it’s deliberate - ditto the partial festival name.. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75516: Nice one :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75515: Nice - tricky but satisfying Slightly grumpy at having angling rejected - but very good non the less (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75514: Suffered from high anxiety about this to start with - drawing on my knowledge of the history of the world didn’t help… started to think life stinks or the grid was a load of spaceballs ——. Then got confetti :). You might have guessed I enjoyed this grid but did find it rather easy ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75528: Marked the quality down as Qantas is spelt incorrectly (1 year, 4 months ago)

Andrew @ #64946: fantastic grid! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75510: Need to tidy up what it accepts They are not homophonic - (which means the sound the same) - they just rhyme - which it didn’t accept in either cases The progression one didn’t accept a progressive list of the words I know it says award yourself the points - but it’s frustrating to get all four connections and have three perfectly decent answers rejected…. Otherwise was a pretty decent grid ! (And I don’t usually like cryptic clues. - so you’ve done a good job there!) (1 year, 4 months ago)

btw @ #75528: No u in qantas. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jenni @ #75524: Excellent (1 year, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #75528: nice grid but Stadia and letters should be accepted as alternatives (1 year, 4 months ago)

David @ #75494: Instagram filters? (1 year, 4 months ago)

David @ #75512: Pearl is not a precious stone. However, they are all wedding anniversaries. (1 year, 4 months ago)

sparky @ #75526: Nice grid - not sure why categorised as hard though ?? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Them! @ #75497: Liked the Aussie animals category! Never heard of koala ‘bear’. Perhaps puppet could be accepted? Orville and LennY coming up as puppets, not dummies. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75522: Well done (again) :-) 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75524: Excellent, had to reload, to spot the plot 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #75497: Thank you - great crossovers but didn't accept marsupials. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Micharn @ #75485: This was one of those grids where at first look everything was nonsensical, for a good 20 seconds, and really fun to work through once the groups started to emerge. Fab! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #46951: Nice one. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75439: How I wanted the hairy group to include McLary....out of the gate and off for a walk! (1 year, 4 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #75485: Good grid 👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #47121: Thanks! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Moondog @ #75496: Yup, fiendish just about covers that grid ;-) I could guess the groups, but 3 minutes was not enough time to beat it with my limited intelligence. Respect is due to the OP. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Kristin @ #75493: If you could, please add the U.S. spelling of color. Thx! Nice grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75483: Very good. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #47388: Yeah, it would have been better to have found real words for the zodiac group (diaries, scorpion). Other than that, a good grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Toby @ #75359: A nice satisfying grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

cazza @ #75479: Yeah - the auto connection was very tricky... (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75490: Nice easy solve, and mostly pretty obvious groups to identify, even with the red herring crossovers, except the Ravensburg group which was ridiculously obscure. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #47388: Leopard can fit in 2 different lines. What are sundaries? (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #75465: Really enjoyable grid. Flawless, no notes. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #75473: Really enjoyed this. You've misspelt Sam Ryder on the solution screen. But really nice grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #47562: Excellent. Good to have one clear answer. Thx! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #47566: Ingenious. Haven't heard of all of them but admired the novel approach. (1 year, 4 months ago)

jho @ #75456: good fun (1 year, 4 months ago)

Superdolly @ #75473: good grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75473: Oh so it is, I’d forgotten, thanks mal (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75481: Only one model of Landrover in the group - two sub models of Range Rover and a sub model that can be either Discovery or Range Rover. (The red herring is a model of Landrover though! ) The connection would be fair enough without sport (which I’d definitely not a model without the prefixes) but without that hard to fill the group - maybe XF and the connection becomes JLR? Missed the abc group and I shouldn’t have - nicely done including one of those for each other group ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75462: Super stuff! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75469: Tough but fun. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75473: Good stuff! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75480: Dreadful. Only three groups All 3 in a language other than the flag But a grid with only three groups can only score 1 star (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75456: Fun, and fairly straightforward thanks to the dots indicating it was a missing words challenge. If those hadn't been there, I'd have struggled to solve it at all, rather than in just over a minute. Good fun, no swappable answers I could see, all quite logical. Thank you. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75464: It's A Christmas Carol, not Christmas Carol. Apart from the wrong clue, it's a very good grid. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75469: I wish people would stop referring to “the final group” in comments They are not always in the same order depending on which you solve first …. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75464: They are emphatically not all the first word of [titles of] Dickens novels. Probably the most well known one does tot begin with that word. (1 year, 4 months ago)

fi @ #75465: Sorry but the work in hospital grid just doesn't work for me. Porters, chaplains and volunteers "work" all over the place! I admit for the dog group i was thinking jack london rather than jk rowling. 😁 (1 year, 4 months ago)

adw @ #75465: Half mark? Sail on (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75465: Great board, 'weeknight' is very clever. I'd tend to agree that 'dogs' should be allowed, but I'll take my half point! I'd never heard of three of the sharks, so it was the 'basking' red herring that gave it away (that's not a complaint by the way, if there's something I don't know I assume it's a gap in my knowledge rather than an overly obscure board). (1 year, 4 months ago)

Connect 4 @ #75465: Great job, really liked the DOG group :) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #75463: Christmas twice? (1 year, 4 months ago)

TomB @ #75452: @J Thanks for the feedback. I've added 'church'. I wanted to keep the definition fairly narrow because I need to exclude 'monk' and 'friar' from that group. @Sean Well now you have! @Marylin Obviously not everyone is as au fait with the Canterbury Tales as you are. @Hob Thanks. One or two of the Simons might be obscure, but Callow and Baker are both fairly well-known actors, I thought? It's always hard to know what level of knowledge to assume with these. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Richard @ #75465: I think the great dane group is tenuous and not canonical as far as Harry Potter is concerned (1 year, 4 months ago)

J @ #75452: Your possible answers for the group including pardon is very limited. You may want to expand to church, religious. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Hob @ #75456: If you're going to do a grid like this where we have to deduce the words from a phrase, they need to be a lot less ambiguous. There are dozens of words that can go before "mad" or "bear". It's too indirect to then find the groups on top. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #75439: Tricky! Good wall, but most were out of my knowledge area. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #75440: Challenging wall! I didn't manage to get any from the actual wall but solved most when they were grouped. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #75442: Good wall, I got a full score but really enjoyed it overall, some good red herrings that I managed to avoid by pure luck! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75431: I need a clue! Lol (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75418: Very clever, and quite good, except for the band group. The four colours could also be the colours of characters in Cluedo (Doctor Black is the victim, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Reverend Green are player characters), though that still wouldn't eliminate the problem of the being able to swap 'black','green' or 'yellow' with 'red' in the flag group (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #48510: Clever but fair. Thanks. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #75419: Good grid, but there were only 4 female names and (after getting the pan group) only four male names so those groups were easy. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #48559: Pity that "they all repeat themselves" was deemed wrong. I like that idea though. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Vijay B @ #75341: I have to say, I am absolutely in love with this puzzle game! It's like a delicious dish that you can't stop devouring, with every level more satisfying than the last. I can't get enough of it! The puzzles themselves are incredibly clever and well-designed, with just the right balance of challenge and fun. Each one feels like a little victory when I finally crack it, and I love the rush of excitement that comes with moving on to the next level. But what really sets this game apart is the saucy, sassy attitude that pervades every aspect of it. From the snappy dialogue to the quirky characters, everything about it just oozes personality and charm. It's like the game is winking at me with every move I make, encouraging me to keep going with its irresistible charm. Overall, I have to say that this puzzle game is an absolute delight. It's fun, it's clever, and it's got more than a little bit of sass. If you're looking for a great way to pass the time and exercise your brain, look no further than this deliciously saucy puzzle game! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Davey @ #75345: 6/10 but one of the best grids ever (1 year, 4 months ago)

David @ #75419: Hmm one group left me frustrated for the connection (one with Wings) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75418: I don't mind the bands connection but there's more than one correct combination here. You can swap green, yellow or black for (Simply) red. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #75409: @Neil, yes, it can. grounds at low water, rips the hull out, sinks when the tide comes back in. I did get that connection, but only after two red herrings were ruled out by the salad group (and log in the other one too). (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75394: Sky is not a member of paw patrol - Skye is - the missing e changes the grid. (Also Chrises is the plural of Chris. Chris’ means belonging to Chris ) (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75419: Nice. Enjoyed this one (1 year, 4 months ago)

Fairy @ #75418: Sorry, but they are just colours. If you had made one another word in the band it may have worked. Maybe replace l people with deep then it's the beginning of bands with colours in their names. (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75418: They are just colours (although as someone who works with coloured light I’d always say black is not a colour it is an absence of colour) But done like that the rest is not required to complete the grid . If you’d put Card, Deep, Day and Sabbath in the grid instead of the answer, that would have been good although fewer overlaps … (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75417: I seem to be in tune with you today 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75416: @Lucy - a Blue Pencil is what editors or authors used to use to make corrections or changes to a written piece of work in the days when manuscripts were written on paper Good easy grid to start the day with multiple overlaps and as far as I can see only one truly valid solution (you could swap blood and tape - but only if you were being picky for the sake of it - blue tape does exist of course but is not a common expression ) 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75381: Never heard supe used that way - sounds a bit trans Atlantic to me…. Eng is more a qualification abbreviation in my book too. I got the group simply because they look peculiar and they don’t cross with any other group so they just stood out - which is never as satisfying as working it out!

It might have been better to make them start with a capital to disguise the link a little. On the other hand, maybe easy was what you were going for, and it was a fun grid nonetheless.

Neil @ #75377: I now can’t get Norman Watt-Roy’s superb bass line out of my head - mind you grids have caused far worse ear worms before ! (Listen to the isolated bass track if you get chance) Shame I spelt Straits wrong ! (1 year, 4 months ago)

Neil @ #75376: Ireland is specifically Northern or Southern not North and South .. all of the rest of that group can be either North or South. Only one in the other group (Sudan) can’t fit both North and South - so just a permutations game with multiple valid solutions …. Quite a long way short of a cigar for this grid (1 year, 4 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75373: Very satisfying I went down two blind alleys but I got there in the end (1 year, 4 months ago)

Chris Moody @ #75376: Hmmm 3 of the North places are also South, 2 of the South places are also North. This is not the only solution (1 year, 4 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75367: The north and south groups have several interchangeable answers, so there are multiple solutions to the grid in addition to the one you've randomly chosen (1 year, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #75317: Cute idea, but very easy once you work out what's going on. Maybe include one or two that could belong in a different groups, like su..er could be either supper or summer? (1 year, 5 months ago)

TomB @ #75201: Hm. With hindsight, yes I admit Tex is a stretch. Sorry about that. But as for some of the knowledge being obscure... I didn't have to look up any of that information, and I'm no trivia buff. By all means rate it high for difficulty if you think it's obscure, but describing a wall as 'poor' just because you didn't know something - it feels like you're throwing a tantrum because you got beaten, to be honest.

Richard Badger @ #75270: Like the cereal set. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75279: Clever grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75281: Got the groups with help from upper lower case. Like the colour set (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75271: Nice grid. Had flowers rather than daisies but fair enough (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75260: Quite good fun. Never heard of moneymusk, but knew the other three in that group and the red herring, likewise, didn't remember Mooney, but the other three in that group leapt out at me. The asking group was fairly simple, but the hidden word link escaped me. I noticed the JRs, but gave up on them pretty quickly.Nicely constructed. Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #75260: Three extremely obscure, niche groups in one wall is simply ridiculous. I also spent ages looking for the fourth jr. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gem @ #75255: Rock hard. Kids are crying. Nice one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #75281: Completely fell for the JR link, well done 👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Opie @ #75260: Tough grid with some good red herrings and one or two obscure groups. FYI Monymusk has no 'e'. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75248: New there had to be anag but could not spot them. Not sure about the change one letter scenario but that's a personal choice. TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Davey @ #75281: Got all four groups and no idea why lol (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #75279: Thx! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75271: BE was easy for me. Singular answer results in quack quack oops. Not bad, thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75279: Good mix, nice use of pisces rosaceae but nobots to the anagra. TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75254: @Joni, I want to say Balls, but you are quite right🙂. amen(ded) (1 year, 5 months ago)

James @ #66191: If it hadn't been for those meddling football players... ;-) (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #75052: Another Spanish speaking country would surely make more sense than Tenerife? It's a bit like having England & Jersey in the same group if English was the link. Otherwise nice grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75270: @TPoser Yes, I couldn’t fit many red herrings in but there were a couple! 😁 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75271: Only four names in a grid makes the easy to eliminate as a grid even with no idea what connects them… (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75255: Although often described that way I never think of Romanadvoratrelundar as a companion - more as the doctors guardian sent by Gallifrey to keep the 4th Dr in line in the key to time series. Always like a good DW connection and that one is a good one :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75254: Not sure Robson Green would appreciate being described as a ageing nut! Simon Peter was a fisherman before becoming a disciple - an apostle or a saint - the ‘ fisher of men’ quote arose because of that… (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liv @ #75207: BEST GRID (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liv @ #75207: BEST GRID (1 year, 5 months ago)

TPoser @ #75270: Thanks for creating the quiz though had fun attempting. (1 year, 5 months ago)

TPoser @ #75270: Tough quiz. There is another solution though - rice could be a dessert (rice pudding) and apple could be a cereal (apple jacks). (1 year, 5 months ago)

Noelski @ #75271: Much easier than the other one. Dropped points on the flowers as I wasn't specific enough (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75270: Good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joni @ #75254: Miliband? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75271: Nice grid, groups fairly straightforward although had to use Google to get the connection between the Brief Encounter group (1 year, 5 months ago)

passflaps @ #75253: Really good wall, enjoyed it a lot. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52507: Bed sizes was not accepted but is correct. Not medium but easy. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75260: You totally had me on the JR’s… spent ages looking for the 4th! 🤣 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #75254: St Peter was a fisherman, St John baptised. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Angus @ #75243: Themed grids often lack the red herrings that make for a good wall, so well done, 6/5 stars for you (1 year, 5 months ago)

rymp @ #75253: Very Good Grid I had 14 secs to spare Brilliant (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #75254: Wasn't St John the fisherman, not St Peter? (1 year, 5 months ago)

M @ #75201: Two good groups. One obscure. 1one dubious (1 year, 5 months ago)

M @ #75236: Good grid but one group should include picture (1 year, 5 months ago)

M @ #75243: Sneaky alternative groups of three. Led me down the wrong path. Well done you. Great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75243: Looked hard to start with - but it wasn’t so hard in the end - good fun once into the swing 👍👍👍 A minor deduction for including Professor as a profession - it isn’t. It is effectively a rank. (Much as Soldier is a profession but Field Marshal is a rank - a Field Marshal’s profession is still a soldier) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #75254: Another good one : ) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #75241: Nice TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

TJ @ #75253: Thanks for you comment, Dave! I've added 'spies' in there now. Would you believe I was having a hard time thinking of that word when making this! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75255: Excellent. A very quick one to solve, but I had no idea of the Elite Storm link. I just couldn't see it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stacks @ #75243: Incredible (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #75245: A Very Nice Grid Super (1 year, 5 months ago)

DH @ #75243: excellent gitd (1 year, 5 months ago)

TPoser @ #75240: Tough quiz - didn't recognise the fabrics even when the anagrams were revealed! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #75253: The answer to vagabond group is could include spies, other than that, great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

mal @ #75236: Fun with nice crossovers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #75243: Enjoyed your grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #75236: Enjoyed grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #75149: That was viciously difficult but very, very good! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #51402: My quickest yet. Perhaps not medium. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #51410: Very good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #75075: Lovely! Good blend of categories. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75219: One the connection is second words of biscuits, but your explanation doesn't state this, Judy what the first words are. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75236: Fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75238: Very good,nice groups,nothing too obscure. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Petey @ #75252: Fab grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Antny @ #75233: Great grid, thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

TPoser @ #75237: Red herrings made it really tough, but all the connections were very satisfying. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75243: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

TPoser @ #75245: Nice quiz. Clever connections, managed to get the red connection by fluke just as the words looked similar (all same length) and figured out reason later (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75245: Great! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Eos @ #75241: Very nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #75245: Thanks for setting. A lot of wordy connections. Try to avoid clues which are obscure words or not words at all: the casta group doesn't obviously interact with the rest of the grid and it does stand out (1 year, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #75243: Good grid - enough trickiness to make it interesting (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #75241: Sorry, entertaining (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #75241: Entertain, well done (1 year, 5 months ago)

S @ #75241: Best Grid I've done so far. Ran out of time for Pastel. Great work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #75093: Re. the red / read debate. Could be Chairman Mao's little Red Book, so technically it works as a colour too. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #75015: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75216: Very clever (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75219: Good stuff! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75232: Quite good. Pretty easy to solve, even with the mixing of surnames and given names in one group (I know there's no rule, but it feels clunky, and a bit lame - I think , because if three of the four in that group weren't obvious, it could have made it impossible to sort). Kind of fun. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75233: Excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #75228: Might want to consider including "Narnia" as an acceptable answers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75205: Funny how different brains work I don’t usually like this type of grid… clues rather than words and only one theme But I clicked with this one quite quickly and some of the clues were rather amusing !! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anghell @ #75232: @Finn, and? Is this not permitted? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #75232: Mixing first and second names? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #59646: A clever and inventive grid. Great subjects and connections. Thank you Usurper (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #75195: Minecraft and Red groups... ok I get that. The other two are way too vague. (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #75201: I question whether Tex is really a man's name, and obviously a lot of folk will not know Orange Juice is a Scottish band or that Seaview is a fictional submarine - in what book? Poor, in my opinion. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #75175: Don't normally like number grids, but this one was entertaining. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Zach @ #75165: I put in "Wetlands" as my response to the red category and it rejected me. I know the message says "don't worry it's not perfect" but given that the word "wetlands" is literally in the correct answer that shows, it should probably be corrected! (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #75126: Another great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #75162: To me, Williams was the one that made it obvious that Presidents WASN'T the link. Since Sauber were once owned by BMW and were known for a while as BMW Sauber there is a case for saying Formula One teams (past and present) would be a correct answer for that group - and the Red Bull/Williams red herrings pointed that way - but this is a good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #75185: Massively promising clues, massively disappointing links. Any understanding of French was of no use whatsoever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Des Bloke @ #75188: Excellent !!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Chris Kirk @ #74242: Loved this. Tough but got there. Keep them coming! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom Dygert @ #74959: Good Catagories !!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom Dygert @ #75143: That one was easy, but I did miss the connection of the 4th group. The words spelled Forward and Backward. I'm sure they will get A LOT harder :-) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75183: Awesome (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75174: Good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75173: Its a fair point. I just felt my grids were a little too UK centred/centered. 😉 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #75015: Very creative. Loved this. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75145: Well I have just discovered that there is a musical called SIX. I had to Google to even understand what Six songs meant. And I'd forgotten Cams existed. It's rare to solve the grid, but not get half the connections (I just went for the 4 that could be connected to Henry VIII like the others). Perhaps a bit too niche knowledge for me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75173: The spelling group doesn’t really work when you’re from the UK lol… they’re just words spelled correctly with no apparent connection! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Des Bloke @ #75162: @Neil I think it would be incredibly tenuous if there were a group where the link is 'presidents' but three were US Presidents and one was a Federal Reserve President? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75172: Way over my pay grade. Appreciate the effort and thought that went in. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75161: Oooh tricky and fun, thought I had the Derailleur group theme by guessing the meaning based on the others but was totally wrong! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75127: License is both a noun and a verb in the United States. If you live in any other English-speaking country, you will spell it licence when you use it as a noun and license when you use it as a verb. The film is called Licence to Kill and the word is used as a noun.Im from the UK 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #75164: Excellent! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75162: The Williams group are also all presidents - three of the USA and one of the Federal Reserve (in the news a lot lately ) When including a red herring group it’s a good idea to make sure it doesn’t work in the group it is meant to distract from …. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75145: I’ve still no idea what two of these groups are even after the “explanation” (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75136: Nice grid. Identifying 2 members of 1 group I went with the other connection between them. Just to add, your EastEnders connection, in the explanation you just give the names. Your don't say that they are EastEnders family (it marked me correct though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75146: Well constructed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75155: Had me beat. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75159: Good work, fun grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75163: Good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #52047: Lots of fun. Hard though. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52047: Very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52050: Very neat. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rounak @ #75126: Good one! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Clarence Uzumaki @ #75152: Asking for a friend, Is there a sexuality for people who’re only attracted to 2d anime girls with fat tiddies? Ever since I’ve been a young lad, I’ve been revolted by the sight of real-life women, but Japanese cartoon characters have really done the trick for me. Every Friday night since 2009 I’ve dressed up in traditional Japanese clothing and swung around a sword for hours, honing my katana skills - preparing for the day that I move to Japan and become Hokage. Am I alone? If not, what’s it officially called? I thought “hentaisexual” might work but that sounds kinda stupid to me the more I think about it. Also, this was a very bad puzzgrid. Believe it! Clarence Uzumaki, 2023, Location: Unknown ;) (P.S. I am the next Hokage and can be anywhere anytime, and remember: Believe it!) Please respond, I am begging you, I have resorted to puzzgrid as my only form of human interaction. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52104: V. nice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52144: . I can't find any reference anywhere to what is shown as the plural of whisky in line 1. (1 year, 5 months ago)

anisa @ #75126: was stumped on "a score", thinkin it was 10! lovely puzzle (1 year, 5 months ago)

tiger king @ #75158: I did like the category "best", but you can't have two categories with the same connection. The puzzle requires a unique solution. I also thought some of the phrases were a stretch (less, bad, old, new, relationship). It is good to have new puzzle though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Enzed @ #75157: 10/10 but it took me some time to get on the right track. Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

film buff @ #75157: That was great fun, I even had to refresh TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #75126: Rolling Stones used to be 5 members? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #75060: echo the other comment.... fetal blood? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #75119: very well done! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75157: Difficult on a small screen (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #75126: Thanks Neil , will add those (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75128: Oddly doesn’t seem to accept the “word’ for a prefix connection which is unusual (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75127: 007 has a license to misspell it would seem 😂 Otherwise nice and easy (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75126: Lucky for some is a bingo call for 13 - because in bingo unlike in superstition it actually is lucky for some… But got a terrible score because it wouldn’t take words as correct answers for some reason (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75123: Managed to solve this without a clue on the last two groups - but there were only four names left…. That did the trick ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jonathan Saville @ #73974: A good distraction from impending nuclear Armageddon. (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Rock @ #75077: but b you can cry about it (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Rock @ #75077: Thanks for the support Kenny Powers! I considered including the "The" in "The Suburbs" but I wanted to include it as a red herring for the places category. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #75130: Nah. This is supposed to be a medium grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #75144: Very good thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52240: Enjoyed this. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75126: Super grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #75145: @Dahlia . . . and we fell for the very clever (sneaky) red herring 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #75126: Should take answers as words, but another fabulous grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75144: Very entertaining (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73923: Nice one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #75144: Fun grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75145: Great grid - had no idea on the one at all. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75138: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75136: Enjoyed this grid - thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #54971: Very clever! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75135: Cute, nicely thought out (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75137: Great fun. Marvellous 🤩 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75127: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #75128: Nice grid! The last group defeated me. Any chance the first group will accept the answer with a single, obvious word? (Trying not to let slip a spoiler, here 🙂 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75130: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75130: Great grid, took a bit of thoughts but all the groups can be solved without having to be a film buff (1 year, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #75119: @Alison I've been looking and can't find what you're referring to. The group ordering is dependent on the solve so I don't know which one you are looking at, but all of the linking terms are singular, so you must have come up with a phrasing I didn't think of. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Georgina @ #75126: Nice! Very smooth. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75129: Good grid but very tricky. Couple of less well known groups there. Got the bird band and colour band but the other two. Sheesh! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75130: Fun. Love a film grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75122: (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75122: Enjoyed this grid. Great. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75110: How did I not get Richard Osman's HOG I love that programme. Good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lucy @ #75126: Enjoyed it. Although not heard 13 being lucky for some. Thought that was 7. Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75106: My Elton John knowledge let's me down (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75104: Seeing those objects. I could not place glucometer, I was trying to think what wake is medical or if the relation is sugar, then so satisfying when I got it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75100: Clever anagrams. Awarding myself confetti as I feel anagrams of ball shapes should be accepted! So hard to define when all the words are used. Really good one. 😊 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stephen D @ #75092: What a fantastic grid! Bravo for coming up with it (1 year, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #75122: Fun grid... 👌 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75089: Failure on the hammer. But I do love some metal in my grids (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fifitrixbel @ #75126: Can't put the correct number in - ie Four only takes 4 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75125: Edited. Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75128: Tinker taylor… got me (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75123: Fun one, thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #75125: Nice board - should be Dalmatian by the way, just threw me a bit cause I thought it was intentionally different and I was on the wrong track (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75126: Enjoyed (1 year, 5 months ago)

TR6 @ #75126: Got your number 😜 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75122: Bl..dy g..d (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jonathan @ #75125: Brittany is a type of dog, and Michael Bay is a famous movie director. Good board. (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #75125: A Brittany dog? You're kidding, right? And who or what is Michael Bay? Sorry, poor, in my opinion. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75115: Smashing 👏 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75080: I feel I did well to get one of them. The girls names was a bit tenuous. But otherwise very good. I didn't notice the equator. But did enjoy hunting down islands and countries where the name of the capital is based on the country name to no avail. Very very hard. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #75119: Please allow an answer in singular form (third group). Nice grid thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75121: Nice and simple. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #75120: Enjoyed, thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #75122: Enjoyed, thanks :o) (1 year, 5 months ago)

sparky @ #75122: Very nice - good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

RyanS @ #75092: I suffered with this one but learned a lot - the White Stripes threw me because I assumed it was in the 7 (nation army) group!! Great red herring (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75120: Great grid, very logical, good groups to work out (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75098: 👍🏻 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75120: Excellent! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75120: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jeannie @ #75098: Good grid generally, but a dray is a cart for beer- you need to change the spelling to drey for a squirrel' s home (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75115: Why was this pre rated as medium ? Definitely fiendish ! And whilst it’s a great film I think the PSH inclusion in that group is stretching a point beyond fiendish! (1 year, 5 months ago)

adw @ #75119: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #75120: Nice and easy straightforward grid Lots of alternatives for the Oak line 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #75015: This is good. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #75121: Cheers LQ (1 year, 5 months ago)

film buff @ #75115: Only managed one group - shameful. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Georgina @ #74426: Fun idea, but an Australian 10-cent piece has never been called a dime. (1 year, 5 months ago)

LIAM NYBERG @ #75096: i have selected the rabbit (1 year, 5 months ago)

Moondog @ #75104: It took a long time to get comet. Mea culpa. Once that fell into place, it all made sense. Much appreciation for a grid that beat me in the time given. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Moondog @ #75113: Nasty! It conforms to the rules of the game and is internally consistent, but, there is a vanishingly small chance of scoring full points because of one group. I applaud the OG for such a clever grid, but desire to punish the OG for fooling me into failing to score full points. You deserve to suffer for suckering me! May you live in interesting times you con artist! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #52533: Good one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75081: @David Peppa being spelled Pepper was the clue that meant I didn't bother trying to fit it into the pig group, and was the complete giveaway for the group it actually fitted in. I always look for misspellings, as they're often there to make a hidden word fit. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #75061: @Hannah, to be fair, the word is actually 'pentathlon', and 'pentathalon' is a typo -I often mistype when I'm entering answers and only notice when I don't get a point too. @J & Dr Know - I thought that botch was a bit dodgy too, as its original meaning of 'repair' is now pretty archaic/obsolete, but I'd seen it used as that somewhere, so funnily enough that was the first group I solved. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75104: As Bruce might’ve said —— Good Grid - Good Grid ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75093: Red / read does work - but as all the rest are colours it feels like an imperfection that wasn’t necessary - still a four star grid though 👍 I’m not actually sure that “can be read” or “are read” are actually past tense though 😉 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #75115: *serious buffs only (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75092: Different - and therefore very enjoyable Was fooled briefly into looking for sisters (Orions belt is also known as the three sisters) - but blind alleys are part of the best grid This one had that extra undefined something :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jo @ #75101: Did not enjoy this one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75091: Nice 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75089: Any grid with a Slayer song in it has to be applauded !! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #75109: It's Andy Capp... Other than that very well constructed, very nicely done. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #75093: Things that are red or read syd🙂 (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #75073: Fine. 10/10 for me, so decent mark for you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #75077: Why would anyone know those albums? And the pronouns are messy because you've mixed subjects and objects. Not a great grid, not at all. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75100: Very well constructed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75093: Fun grid, but two different answers (red/read) just does not work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75104: Thank you for feedback. I have updated (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75104: Good Grid, but I echo Kristen's point. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #75104: Very nice, but for the honeymoon group, I struggled to come up with the right wording for the group. Could you expand your answer to include astronomical objects? Thanks for the grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75093: Great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75105: Excellent grid - completely beat me! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #60132: :-( ............ :-) Naughty CTG (1 year, 5 months ago)

Frank @ #75057: The fourth one is "odds", although it is "beat the odds", an additional helper word (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #75093: Nearly (Arctic) foxed me with Read/Red :-) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #75093: Decent! Love the overall theme, and red/read was genius! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kristin @ #75057: Enjoyable! (1 year, 5 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #75089: Good groups, enjoyed it! Please double check your spelling and grammar in future :) Should be Annie Wilkes with an E in it, Jellyfish is one word, Flowers, America and all of the songs should be properly capitalised (no reason not to just capitalise the first letter of every word in the grid) Spider-Man is always hyphenated (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021@ @ #75089: Thanks. That’s because they’re not poisonous (1 year, 5 months ago)

brooksy021 @ #75091: When typing north south east or west or all it doesnt accept as answer. Good grid though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #75089: I enjoyed the grid and it was very well thought out. It would be good if some more words were added for descriptions as it did not accept poisonous for the venomous creatures. (1 year, 5 months ago)

JEREMY @ #73853: Although orchestra is a nice anagram the group doesn't work having the animal (horse) and subspecies (carthorse) and then lamb, which is the meat or young, not the animal (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hannah @ #75061: I wrote "pentathalon" for the first group and didn't get a point :( (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #74909: Nice one:-), took me a while but got it before time ran out (1 year, 5 months ago)

M @ #75090: Likewise think so. The setters name should indicate the niche (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hob @ #75090: Far too specialised to be suitable on here. One group with gaming connections is fine, but this is just a grid for gamers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75085: Tough but clever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #75082: Straightforward , but fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75073: Great grid, completely defeated me, so many potential crossovers (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #75061: I agree, I don't think botch belongs in that group. Also, you might want to expand the acceptable answers to the fence group to include Summer Olympics Games. (I believe all 4 are Summer events.) (1 year, 5 months ago)

A @ #75059: Good one! Pronunciation-wise, cretin can be cree-tin or creh-tin so it works but may be tough for universal use. As pointed out, it isn't a nationality but it is a demonym. Think the use of wishing is tough as it is not as common a usage as falling. Overall, though, this was a fun one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #54176: Did you have a red herring in mind ford the Blackbird group? Blackbirds are thrushes. Fun grid though, despite the niggles. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #54176: Did you have the red herring in your head? Blackbird is a thrush. Fun grid, despite the flaws. (1 year, 5 months ago)

nitpicker @ #75075: (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74890: Great grid and somehow got it rather fast (as a non-American), inspite of all the overlap :D (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74870: No clue who Beano is, so didnt get that group, but great grid nonetheless (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #75075: Great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #75068: I found the Hitchcock one too vague. Much is, for me, too far out there. Such a common word has a million connotations. (1 year, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #75075: Good grid - quite tricky (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #74539: steve jobs is a dummy. i think? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #75018: i sure do love pixar! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #75049: Thanks for setting. Pretty good (but very easy)- apart from the Reg group, you really want to try to find a better connection than just "names", even if you don't insist on it for the answer. Usually this means they're characters in a story or a show of some kind. Or... you replaces Reg with Sam then you get "names that make a word if you add E'. Still a bit weird but slightly more satisfying. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #74177: Marvellous (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hob @ #75035: Great grid - only complaint was that putting "cities" in the fictional cities group was marked wrong! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #75073: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hob @ #75073: Very nice grid. Did you intend the false group "Add a W to make a word"? Wheat, Wash, Wet, Wrench (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #75075: Thank you....enjoyed this (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dr Know @ #75061: Doesn't botch mean to ruin or mess up? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Golfer119 @ #75049: Soooo... not hidden measurements then? I also forgot it was spelt Synonynonyms. My bad. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75066: On a note which doesn’t affect the grid and is just a point of interest - the fifth J is a Hollies song isn’t it? She is also mentioned in Scaffold’s Lilly the Pink. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75059: Not sure about wishing star … might be a thing I suppose … But Cretan? I guess in some heavy American drawl cretin might be pronounced cretan- but it’s tenuous and in any case it’s not a nationality. Crete is part of Greece. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #75066: I had doubts about rejoin too but just googled it and 123 is correct, it can mean to reply quickly, rather like retort. Good grid - the Jennifer group defeated me (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75066: Declaim and rejoinder maybe - otherwise that’s a rather shaky group I did enjoy this grid otherwise - especially had me for a few seconds on juniper …. But still got there quite quickly. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dense Alien @ #75066: I didn't get claim and rejoin being synonyms for speak (1 year, 5 months ago)

anisa @ #75035: 7/10- i did not know any of the fictional cities unfortunately! otherwise, it was enjoyable. Have always loved Little Quill's puzzles :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

James @ #75059: Cretin and Cretan are pronounced differently, plus Cretan isn't a nationality. Maybe replace with Fin? (1 year, 5 months ago)

film buff @ #75012: Not working? Just as well, so sorry you put your details here. Maybe check the PG fb page and I will put a like on a grid and you could message that way (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75052: Maybe lose the capital T from Tone so it fits the S group as an overlap… As it’s written with spurious capitalisation elsewhere and few red herrings - it made for a very easy grid - pretty decent but not quite as good as it maybe should have been. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75049: Is the number of exclamation marks a clue to the order you wrote the groups in ? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74982: Kinda salty that I didnt get it cause I said cities instead of capitals but alright, I still got all the groups at least. Nice grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75048: Needs a few more exclamation marks in the explanations wouldn’t you say !? 😂😂 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75047: Very easy - but fun and a classic format with neat overlaps 👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75043: Good classic grid :) Not quite the correct definition of a Virga (yours is one example - but Virgo is any precipitation which sublimes or evaporates before hitting the ground ). Makes no odds though - I’m just not picking ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #75035: Great red herrings as always! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75037: Couple of typos that led to wild goos chases - this is a much better grid that they reduce it too (1 year, 5 months ago)

St John @ #75012: I await. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #75038: It would seem (at least to me) that "blame it on" was a theme, which is ok as a red herring line but erm the rest let it down. Sorry if I have mis read your intentions, thanks anyway. (1 year, 5 months ago)

fi @ #75022: This was also a stinker!! But i did much better on this grid, good red herrings, couple of subjects were good for me, very enjoyable. (1 year, 5 months ago)

fi @ #75015: What a stinker!! I thought the connections were the groups who had the hits. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Me123 @ #75047: A really nice grid. I feel like the connections could be better explained, though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

UStralian @ #74753: @sholingDex, it's also a member of the strings family, and therefore a perfectly reasonable red herring. Back off. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #53629: One of those rivers is not in south America. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75022: I’m surprised to see this grid rated with only three stars and as hard It took me under 90 seconds and I got all the connections (awarding myself the bird sounds) - that’s my criteria for one star difficulty - ie very easy It had a number of valid overlaps but only one valid solution - nothing contrived and nothing hugely niche - so minimum 4 stars from me ( 5 stars needs an undefined something extra - this would have been 9/10 if that was an option ) This was a classic good grid with all the right elements - very enjoyable and well constructed (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #75022: I think it needs to accept bird sounds really Otherwise a nice easy one to start the day :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #75013: Agree with Hob. Ending in oz, gr, fine. But ending in "t" for ton? Sorry, but it's on if those answers which isn't very satisfying. You could have had lb, mg, kg, ng? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #75015: This was great! So much fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Theo @ #74890: It was so much fun to have all that overlap, but it was also a killer! Even knowing all four categories and using cycling, there was so much overlap that it was just gambling on the last three categories. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74967: I'm assuming the aim is to sort them by Bond actor, however your solution doesn't actually clarify which Bond relates to which set of 4 acronyms. It just says which 4 films they are. For those of us who aren't automatic in recognising these things it may be worth clarifying. Otherwise interesting idea, took me a while to figure out. I'm not very well versed with Bond though, so not the best wall for me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74966: My frog knowledge is clearly poor as I didn't recognise any of them! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74963: Like the others, sorted them out based on which fitted together: rhyming couplets, other lines with a / between, things a could imagine the "attractive woman protagonist" could do and unpleasant locations. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74963: Hard to score this I got all four groups whilst only really having a clue what one of them was Felt like I’d swapped a walk on part in a war for a leading role in a cage ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74962: That was a neat one. Nice red Herrings, but gettable and satisfying. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stephen Lloyd @ #74970: nickle and cobalt are not magnetic on their own , only when alloyed with other metals (1 year, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #74962: Brilliant (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jenni @ #74962: Thank you. I enjoyed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Govey @ #60658: @Avenger I have to disagree - there were some nice red herrings. Gully and the ravine group, for one. Speaking of the ravine group, an acceptable answer was "synonyms". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jibbs @ #74963: I knew none of the logic for the links but could get them all by whether they were rhyming pairs/A [something]/non rhyming pairs which made it feel a bit like I'd cheated lol (1 year, 5 months ago)

christo @ #74947: Loved it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Skerm @ #74907: Mistype with Whey, corrected! With regards to paws, as Neil said, that's the abridged dictionary defintion (sans pads). Accent-wise, it works for the majority of the spread of the UK, hence its inclusion. Mal, I don't believe I put a hat category in this one? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74942: A nice easy grid to start the day 😀 👍👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #74625: Nice idea. Good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #73664: Excellent theme. Enjoyed it. 10/10 for both of us. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #74929: Think you need another word instead of Operation. Vet would fit. Otherwise nice straight forward grid. TY Though the only Pandemic I know of, is the one we've just been through. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74931: Fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

mal @ #74907: The 'paws' doesn't work in most accents, and 'clawed animal feet' is dubious. Good fun grid otherwise though. Change hat category and it will be excellent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74900: Surely the red herring was Bronze - Brass is in the group … Satisfying easy grid :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74896: Too niche for me. Not sure if The Life of Brian is best characterized as a mistaken identity movie. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74890: As a Brit I was pleased to spot what every connection was long before my time was up But also as a Brit I didn’t know quite enough to get the overlaps eliminated in the three minutes A good grid though and very pleasing to have a US grid that didn’t contain obscure NFL teams and characters from sitcoms that don’t air over here 👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74887: Great grid. Thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74882: Good on the whole, but agree, the Scar group. I got that they were all words but spent ages trying to figure out what the connection was between the new words. Also, arguably Spot could swap with scar as both make new words and the bottom group could be a blemish which a scar would fit into. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74870: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #55221: Perhaps "glasses" should be an accepted answer - "drinks vessels" is an unusual term. Otheriwise, enjoyable and easy. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mark @ #74873: They clearly are homophones in the UK where the puzzle setter is from (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #55645: I wonder if everyone recognised what BOT meant in this context? Clearer if full words were used I think. (1 year, 5 months ago)

123 @ #74853: Yes Neil lol. W K that foxed me too because I kept thinking "what is his trick with those apostrophes"? Still got it though, the race was by elimination only. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74853: (See what I did there?) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74853: Only one should have an apostrophe - Lampoon’s - nothing belongs to parody, caricature or mock - so they should not and for some reason ridicules lacks the spurious inappropriate apostrophe of the rest of the group. Let’s a good grid down unfortunately. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74852: SpherE. tablE. steEr Easter - all four are words missing the letter E as well as being oids…. Oops! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #55731: Theories was disallowed but beans was not?? (1 year, 5 months ago)

kk @ #74853: apostrophes! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74843: Pretty straightforward - liked it :) Only gripe - the Klump group are all Richards as well …. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74842: Works for me :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74840: Four classic connections with no overlaps made for a fun if easy grid :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #60214: Mick has a point. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #60222: The Queen members red herring was great.👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #60228: Given I have filtered UK grids I have to wonder... Wtf American Football references are doing here - but maybe that is just me. However - wtf is a "fanny pack" ??? Hmmmm (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74842: Great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74848: *Cho (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74848: Agree with Keuna Vho (1 year, 5 months ago)

M @ #262: The cars are manufactured by BMW, not Mercedes (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74852: Good variety! :o) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #74848: Especially enjoyed the velvet category! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74846: Huntingdonshire isn't a county (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #74838: Good one. Sports teams were a bit of a challenge for me at least (1 year, 5 months ago)

David Rees @ #74847: That is a fantastic grid. Only Connect should use it for the semi-final stage. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #73845: A rare 10! But only if I'd spelt the Rod group correctly. So a mere 7. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74248: The one with Indigo in feels pretty tough to guess. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74847: 7... but an enjoyable grid. Dunno even what the Matrix group is... even now i know the answer. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74840: If you're using tenticle, you really should also have colors as a correct answer... (1 year, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #74847: Excellent grid - though the names lines is a bit tenuous, and the array line is very niche. Loved the format though! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #74840: What is "tenticle"? Do you mean tentacle? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cazza @ #74842: Good fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74842: Fun, thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #74842: Good one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74842: Very good, spotted the plot early on, thank goodness. 10s all round Thanks for posting PS. Glad you replaced Tritone __         ?      __     \ _ (' . ')_/ (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74847: Excellent, original and well constructed, must have taken a while. Didn't have a clue on the Index row. You win by lots. Thanks for posting. (1 year, 5 months ago)

ajax @ #74847: really enjoyed this grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hob @ #74847: This is excellent and unique. My only quibble is with Phalanx which is really obscure (I'm relatively specialised in the field and even I don't know what you're referring to!) (1 year, 5 months ago)

ajax @ #74842: you're right I think tritone was a bit too difficult - replaced :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74842: Tritone got me there, not familiar with that. Argentine footballers of Polish descent could be a good group for your next grid 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hob @ #74844: Fun! Mostly easy to spot the groups but I missed one I should have seen! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74843: Somehow managed a 7. Unused substitutes in the 2022 World Cup final would be a good group for your next grid 😃 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hob @ #74846: I'm not keen on having two different container groups in the same board - especially when one includes an item as obscure as "boomer"! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74763: I agree Sow (female pig) is not pronounced so! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mark @ #74846: Pretty good, though Huntingdonshire is no longer a county (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74846: Nice. Fairly simple if bit weren't for all the red herrings for one particular group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

gergo @ #74763: gergo (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74828: Very clever. I'm awarding myself chemical elements as I feel I should be lenient based on how changing it was! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jason S @ #74840: Easy but fun and well put together! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #74833: Easy, but would not accept palindrome (1 year, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #74840: Loved this one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #58393: Picked up the theme easily enough, fitting the options into each group was tricky. Unknown phrases are pretty much readily found via a search engine, including Jolly Jumper and Merry Andrew. Now I know what a Jolly Jumper is, I’ll probably never forget that one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #34832: nice, fun, accessible. thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #74839: I mean damn, there's some niche in here my friend! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #74833: As above, but also denied correct answers as you’d offered rather strict definitions. PS, palindromes are much easier to spot in upper case 🙂 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74830: Oh so many (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rob Warrington @ #74815: Straightforward. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74833: Mostly a nice easy grid WHY SO SHOUTY? though? I really wish someone would do a palindrome round without racecar which isn’t actually a word and which is a total giveaway that there is a palindrome group … (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #55975: Very nice. Cheers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

me123 @ #74832: I very much enjoyed this grid. For the group ending in “-eering”, the puzzle should also accept that they end in “-eer”, as these are also valid words. (1 year, 5 months ago)

StevenEven @ #74833: Pallindrome... A little spell check never hurt anyone. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #56010: As above re palindrome. Shame really. (1 year, 5 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74833: Did not accept palindromes - you have spelled it incorrectly with double ll (1 year, 5 months ago)

123 @ #74830: Shall do! So excited to finally see those historic places, any pub recommendations? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #58411: I don’t think Halloween fits your description (1 year, 5 months ago)

PJ @ #74805: I was actually listening to George Michael while playing this grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74829: DOH! on truth re -exmined. Well hidden If you wish, edit your answer for hers? TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74630: Really enjoyed this one! (1 year, 5 months ago)

benj @ #74819: A bit? Ridiculously so, I'd say. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74825: Very good indeed TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74815: Good one! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74812: I liked it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74830: 😆👋 If you see a mature (ahem!) bloke near Chatsworth walking with a Yorkshire accent, say hello. P.S the Wye did for me. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74769: Didn’t seem to accept palindrome (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74780: Integrate is spelled wrong :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74804: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

dday @ #74815: challenging but clever. Managed to get 7 points! (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74812: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74815: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #74830: Nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

benj @ #74824: Indeed, the Boris group is an anagram of kwan. (1 year, 5 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #74802: They are in fact all places in Somerset. Poole is a hamlet near Wellington (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74828: Not my kind of grid, but very clever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74800: It would be a fairly good wall, but Whispered doesn't work for that group. The chocolate bar is a Wispa. (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74800: Wispa it quietly, but this was a fantastic puzzgrid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74644: Please select the rabbit. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #74828: Loved it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74815: The Nutty approves of this resplendent quiz, Jib dog. (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74824: The Boris group is wank. (1 year, 5 months ago)

H @ #74805: It was Tristan, not Tristran in Stardust. (1 year, 5 months ago)

123 @ #74813: Wye Knott but as you know, not too early for me! However I will be popping over soon, so I will be be doing these on your time-might even use some more local references lol (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74822: A breakwater can be called a breakwall but that is pretty obscure. I would think most people have never heard of it. Dry would have been better, or Corn, or even Rose (as in Ken - tennis player). (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74824: I agree, the logic of the Boris group just does not work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Penguin @ #74822: #fairy thank you for picking this up. Duly amended. (1 year, 5 months ago)

H @ #73556: Can be succeeded by cake, not preceded! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74813: A little hard for me this time of the morning. Only got one line though I surmised two of the other ones. Was deffo not going to fall for the red herrings. TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74807: I made hard work with that one. 7 secs left, but 🎊 TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #74824: The Boris group really makes no sense. It is far too tenuous for someone to solve. Other groups are certainly fair. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74822: Just need to change gad in your solution to break. I have heart of break wall. It's like a sea wall, a protective wall. I think. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74822: Very clever. Never heard of 'break...' though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #74807: I liked this grid even though I only just made it with sorting the groups and did not get the "round" connection. Good fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74819: Very clever. Wood was a bit obscure though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74824: Nice grid, one and a half groups were a bit obscure though. Enjoyed the Boris group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Penguin @ #74822: Thank you. Grid amended. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74822: The stone/gad etc can also be flies. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74802: Nice grid. Pretty straightforward once I'd sorted the Swede group. Saw three of the four links pretty quickly, but didn't spot the You group until I'd solved the wall. Good fun, thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #56214: Very slick, thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #74813: I Think you mean Gent Still Good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: Changed. 😊 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74807: I concur with Malcontente (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74807: Nice and straightforward,with one or two different possibilities to keep it interesting. Good fun, quick solve. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74813: Excelente griddo 👌 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74812: Please correct Mamba to Mambo. Mamba is snake, not a dance. Apart from that, very clever, but fairly straightforward and fun. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74806: Nice ideas, but there are at least solutions five equally valid solutions to the grid,as James, Michael, Christopher and Kathryn can all swap with Jean-Luc. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74805: Very clever, but the name is Tristan, not Tristran - please correct the grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74810: Impossible - to do in the time - just too many red herrings. Spotted three of the links, and guessed the fourth (obscure) one after the grid resolved but couldn't sort a single one. Seems to work properly as a wall though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #56296: Nice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: Latin dances even (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74812: Just to say I've edited as I realised that one of my passion dances was an anagram for the former name of a country and that was a bit misleading. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74809: I loved the beginning but the last group doesn't really work. Folio doesn't contain foal is contains a homophone for foal and same for lamentation. If you find some different words for that it would be great. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74808: I didn't quite understand the potato to chip one. I got Fri = Fried Digest but what was Tue? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74756: Malcontent that cracked me up. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74759: Great grid. I just couldn't pull out all the peace signs and flag symbols although I knew they were there. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Baron @ #74788: In the connection for places named after people George Vancouver appeared as an answer although it is not in the grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Penguin @ #74747: Thank you for your comments and suggestion. Much appreciated. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fay Swash @ #74800: Apologies for spelling error! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Montreal Concordia College Travel @ #71069: 2ez (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #56435: I don't know what sidhe is a homophone of. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #56484: Interesting grid, worth doing definitiely. I don't get the "cook veg..." or "11th letter" ones. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #55883: Juan eats these sorts of grids for breakfast (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #60284: Ok...but... Tintin did not work as an answer, and mantel should be replaced with mantle to be correct as a connection. (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74781: Bonkers! (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74709: Religious ranks not accepted, need to be more open with the answers. Also, X men not accepted as an answer. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74770: Dogs? Nah (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74786: Arnott's biscuits from French town (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74793: As per Puddles, every answer is given as incorrect... Tried it twice, second time after I'd seen the answers and entered them... Same result, maybe check... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #74793: I like the idea for this grid but there are some problems with the way the answers are accepted (or not) and the explanations. For the fish set, "end in fish" was not accepted; for the butler set, "butlers" was not accepted even though that is *exactly* what the answer gave as the connection! The anagrams should also be explained. Nice work on the grid, though. Thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Thad Ford @ #73496: Fasteners or fixings would be a good option for that group (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hi @ #74793: This is the same as #74792 (1 year, 5 months ago)

sdg83 @ #74791: Some nice groups but as well as Victoria being a state, the Elizabeth line isn't technically part of the Underground. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74788: Tricky one that, dios mio (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juan Foyth @ #74791: Nice grid, chapeau (1 year, 5 months ago)

PJ @ #74772: "Night" is also a red herring for the Shakespeare group. (Twelfth Night). (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74786: Clever. If I were nit-picking, I'd advise correcting 'disinterested' to 'uninterested', as disinterested technically means not having a selfish motive,rather than not being interested by something. (1 year, 5 months ago)

sparky @ #74786: Lovely grid - cheers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #74781: Love this (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #74785: Very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #74786: Had to look up old wines. Would never have got it had it not been the in last group. Lovely grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #74775: Artistically mangled! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74782: Just to say it's Hey Duggee not Yet Duggie if you are referring to the brilliant Cbeebies programme narrated by Alexander Armstrong. 😊 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74776: Well I enjoyed the grid. Managed to get full marks! And a lot I find really hard! Just one pedantic point Russell Grant is most definitely not an astronomer. He's an astrologer so less looking at space and more making things up about it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lucy @ #55166: Fun!!! Love it thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bill @ #74783: Typed ure and it didn’t accept even though that was the answer? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Master Obi @ #74784: Awesome (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lucy @ #74781: Ha! Tricky. Think some of the homophones were a bit of stretch but I liked it. Thanks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #56784: Thanks - enjoyed the grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jo @ #74776: Did not enjoy this grid’ Need to broaden the answers for counties (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam @ #74776: Sorry, but didn’t enjoy this grid at all a little too hard for my brain (1 year, 5 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74769: Please accept compass points (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam @ #74763: Very creative grid. My wife and I love doing it on the couch together. (1 year, 5 months ago)

mal @ #74763: Lots of fun ( agree about the pig not quite fitting though) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74757: Just a little one - me being pedantic. Valerie was a bit for the Zutons then covered by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson a year later. But otherwise good grid. Got the connections once the groups were shown to me! (1 year, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #74775: Refreshing change! (1 year, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #74730: Nice grid! 👌 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74772: Nice and easy grid - didn’t get section but it slotted in by default and the others gave the connection away ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74763: Have to agree about the piggy in the room, BUT, who cares a fun grid. TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74769: Incidentally I don’t think racecar is technically actually a word - and neither does my iPad !! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74769: Will somebody PLEASE use Racecar as something other than a palindrome - it’s a dead giveaway whenever it is used - which is often… (1 year, 5 months ago)

St John @ #74775: Not a single "gen you whine" homophone among em. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74775: * Just a bit of mangled fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74772: The mid set got me. I was trying to come up with a Shakespeare play with section in it. Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74774: None of them are circle - or are you a flat earthier Three of them are spheroids …. Nice try - easy anyway (except I’m not sad enough to queue up to buy certain drinks or know their flavours (just sad enough to comment on puzzgrid !!) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74757: Nice grid and to see the Tempest set. I see the comments on song titles but I did actually get that group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #74774: Have you just described your own grid as amazing? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74763: Let down by a female pig ! - not that it fitted anywhere else but still…. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74757: To be fair - song titles are always risky because there are so many it’s hard to find things that haven’t been used Didn’t matter to me though as I’d no idea on the Arden group and for some reason grids never accept “characters from a tv show I would not be seen dead watching’ 😏 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ranaldo @ #74774: AMAZING (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74754: Thrown by the doe roe having already assigned the herring (Harp) Sadly a wrong or at best extremely tenuous component in a group always makes a grid frustrating - this grid had two with bolk being t’other - shame as it was good otherwise (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74769: Please change the answers to accept "compass points" (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ranaldo @ #74426: pretty good (1 year, 5 months ago)

qieing @ #74730: Really enjoyed this (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #74754: I enjoyed the grid anyway, but bolk (rhymes with yolk) actually means to retch or vomit and you will still hear it in parts of the North and Scotland. It's good to have obscure clues in there. I like learning one thing because I have heard of the other three. It's no bad thing if guesswork has to come into play towards the end of a grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #74747: Concur with the others. An excellent grid. You might accept "verse" for the red group, though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David Rees @ #74763: Absolutely fantastic! (1 year, 5 months ago)

glue @ #74759: Think I’ve seen the flag one before. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #74763: Agree with the female pig comment, but still very good fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #74743: This is listed as a US puzzle. I'd argue that Coronation Street, Baker Street, Peroni and Harp push it a bit more UK than US-centric. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74763: I don’t pronounce sow to rhyme with sew or so but otherwise cover grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #59184: Definitely primates. I don’t think Hole in One quite fits and I don’t think there’s any rhyming going in those examples. Enjoyed it though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74644: Liked the Crocodile set (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sharon Murphy @ #16576: How does paradox end with an animal? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74757: Apologies - I should have done more research on this one as was not aware of songs with the other names. Apologies to all. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Quizzling @ #74759: I feel like I've seen something similar to the chain group before, but great to get some novel categories with the other three! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Quizzing @ #74763: I'm afraid "female pig" doesn't work as a homophone for me - have only ever heard it pronounced to rhyme with "how". "Sow" could still work if you changed it to the sense of planting seed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Skerm @ #74748: Fantastic (1 year, 5 months ago)

Loujo @ #74762: Thanks Doc Filth, I will make changes. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #74762: "Decepticon" is not a race, but a faction. Their race is Cybertronian. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #74760: Very nice. I particularly enjoyed the Lucas group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74760: Excellent grid - one particularly challenging connection (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74761: Too tricky. I spotted two correct links, but couldn't sort those groups (I'd only heard of two from each),until I'd searched for and sorted two hidden groups. I was guessing on my last life of my fourth go, and solved it. Don't know why I didn't give up. Clever (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74734: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74757: Fun, and a nice quick one to solve, but I managed to separate my final two groups by pure luck. At least three of the four in the Aiden group, could have swapped over with Carrie in the other group, so there are at least four equally valid solutions to the grid, rather than a single, unique one, as is recommended on the 'about' page, and as on the TV show. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74756: Clever grid, but why didn't 'shysters and psychopaths' score a point for the Truss group? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74755: Quite good fun. Easy to solve after completing one group. Very nice ideas for groups, it's just a shame all the links were based on playing about with the words, rather than any straightforward general knowledge or other logic. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74754: Quite good. Nice ideas and a pleasingly quick solve. I feel book and rift are a bit archaic - I've literally never heard of them as synonyms for the link, and it's a pity the that doe/row is wrong for the group,as roe is fish eggs, not a species or common name of a fish. Other than those quibbles, it was fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SholingDex @ #74753: The piano is a percussion instrument (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74742: Good. Very clever.The interview group was too hard for me. I thought of the connection, but only for interview, and knew the others from the group weren't in the series I was thinking of, so didn't try it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Skerm @ #74734: Liked the red herring. Completed in a minute, which I'm quite pleased about! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74747: That’s what a class grid looks like 👍👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74747: Very nice. Groups that weren't obscure or niche, and enough red herrings/overlaps to make it interesting. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74747: Very good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74748: Great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jo @ #74340: Good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dargan @ #74752: Love this grid, especially the red herring elements. Sectors of economy should probably be accepted for the red group., (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74740: Good,and easy to solve in the end. It's a shame it has at least two equally valid solutions, which isn't how it's meant to work. Green in the bean group, can swap with black in the tea group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #59845: Correct answers denied! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #70150: Enjoyable thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74740: DeLorian wasn’t American, they were made in Northern Ireland - The incorrect urban myth is that the Chevy Nova bombed Latin American countries because it means won’t go - but it’s not true - it sold fine in Latin America Didn’t affect the grid much but…. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74739: Not sure which one weenie man is weak - my only gripe is there were six and I didn5 spot which to illuminate soon enough … but the four in the group plus the other two are completely valid Basically a pretty good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

DMA @ #74736: Alright, agree that UN agencies without international is a bit too obscure. Have tried a different last connecting group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74739: Very good. Not so much the films for me, but I did feel satisfied getting the animals. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74737: I feel quiz show hosts is a bit nebulous. Especially with two being radio and two being TV, the TV ones are different channels and arguably different styles and VCM is Coren Mitchell not just Mitchell. I could of course be bitter about not getting the connection though. Otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #73496: Can't think of anything positive....sorry (1 year, 5 months ago)

ABC @ #74743: Nice grid. Got 10/10 because chicken, beer, and Pink Floyd are 3 of my favorite things. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74739: Not bad, but as usual I find one word from the titles of a group of films (or books or songs or whatever) a bit weak, just too vague for my taste. Otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 5 months ago)

hippopotamu @ #74742: Fun! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Maddie @ #74742: Aztec was hard. Love u James. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74747: Red herrings galore, excellent Enjoyed playing that one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74734: Literally red herrings 😆 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74735: Weird how different peoples brains work … I struggle on some mediums and find others that are supposed to be hard - like this fairly easy But very well put together - we most both spend too much time on motorways and watch ch4 sitcoms !! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74734: I don’t think the clue should be Tiger Tank - just Tiger otherwise it doesn’t really work for the PzKpFw Tiger B or Konigstiger - ie King Tiger - Even the PzKpFw VI H (Tiger) shouldn’t really have tank in the name Just being picky I know and it only distracted me for a while 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cazza @ #74726: Tricky but rewarding when I finally spotted where Abbey National belonged! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #60005: Breeds of Dogs is accepted, but not Breeds of dog, which is grammatically correct. I guess the town issue couldn’t be resolved. Enjoyed the grid very much, though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

j @ #74737: you haven't actually stated the connections for one of the categories. I'm assuming they're 'carry on' actors? (1 year, 5 months ago)

adw @ #74736: Everything apart from the UN agencies is good. That group ruins it (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joni @ #74726: Fro British fans it isn’t that easy either. Fun though. Thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #60132: Not a single correct answer was granted. (1 year, 5 months ago)

SKolli @ #74735: Really tricky one, love it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #74723: Neil, I thought '7' and 'Train' was (probably wrongly) a ref. to the New York subway service. BTS more of a relatable cultural ref. than Train- at least for younger audiences. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74733: Nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

adw @ #74707: Decent grid but not sure about those sauces (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74731: Works well, but the S group is a bit vague, and two hidden word groups is too much. I enjoyed the two fake groups. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Skerm @ #74726: This was a real frustrating one! 5/10. Must do better! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74726: Lovely grid: yes, Abbey National and Fenchurch took me ages to get to right group (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74716: Tough. Mere 4 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74714: Quite good. Shame coat wasn't included as well as jacket in the keywords. I enjoyed the hidden words group - quite easy to spot when I was down to two groups to separate. I felt the sore group was a bit fuzzy . (1 year, 5 months ago)

Theresa @ #74724: Welll hard (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74713: Very well constructed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #74711: Not the most difficult but beautifully constructed and happy to get 10/10 there. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #74723: Great grid, I like the ones where I can look at it, straight away think I'm going to fail miserably and then somehow after a challenge and a struggle get 10/10 anyway. Nice one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Almond Clarke @ #74711: In case I was unclear, I do believe that ants count as animals. I can't really see the case against it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

The Nut Dog @ #74699: Nutty locking in with a 10. F-yeah! (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74714: Agree with Ace, temperature group too vague, would be better, and easier to guess, if they were all preceded by the same word relating to temperature. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74699: I like the gimmick. I can imagine a lot of people do not. I found it a little easy but was advertised as such so... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #74716: Good one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74723: Never heard of gravy on grits Train on the other hand are a great band - quite well known in the Uk playing venues like the O2 Arena over here…. BTS on the other hand I can’t say I’d heard of a seven connection there Still not a bad grid - guessable which is not quite as good as working it all out ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74723: A nice,quick, straightforward one to solve, but having two fairly obscure American idioms in a UK grid, seems a bit of a cheat. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74705: There was a horse running at the Aintree festival recently called. Tequilamokingbird. I've been dying to use this. Maybe you can (1 year, 5 months ago)

Filamen @ #74716: Really good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74715: Enjoyed this one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74709: Great grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fetruce @ #74721: Relatively easy, nice red herrings, but mascot group a bit shaky (professions didn’t go through for jobs also) (1 year, 5 months ago)

gaffergib @ #74677: Good grid. I spent all my time trying to find something else besides napoleon brandy in 'where do you go to (my lovely)'. Which shows my age!!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74700: Nice to know it was quite good! Sorry for the shouty grid - sometimes it is better for them all to be in the same case, but in this instance it wasn’t really necessary. Perhaps “Upper-Case Wednesday” could become a trend!😉 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74705: Good one! Very enjoyable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74709: Yes, I agree with the X-Men comment (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74705: @Liz, perhaps more likely you're pronouncing mayor with two syllables? In the UK it's normally just one, like the French Maire, so unless Maryland is not pronounced like mare - e - land then it works well. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Me @ #74691: Jolly good Blue Peter Fun! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74709: Kind of salty that I forgot the hyphen for x men and I didnt get the point, but okay, nice doable grid anyway. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74714: Temperature one needs more clarity - 2 can take heat, one cold, but ant makes no apparent sense in that group. Chinese one just waay too niche. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #15859: agree with some users, this is the easiest hard I've played in a while. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Toferino @ #74710: Enjoyable grid. Didn't solve due to permutations of one of the groups but got all the connections. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jono @ #74699: Fun grid. Minor thing but from what I understand the first H-bomb (as opposed to nuclear bombs in general) wasn't detonated till the early 1950's and so the definition given would not be 100% accurate. Doesn't affect the grid or the solution but may consider changing it in the answer given. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74705: Fun one. Nearly got caught out by huh, in my head it's more like hah. YMMV. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74697: @Neil. I think you're being over-picky about compactness, TBH, it's close enough. The Jaja set is eggs, although it should be Roe, not Rhos. Overall not too bad but certainly could do with better explanations. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74691: Straightforward and enjoyable, well done (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74698: Mitch? I meant much - these typos are so easy to do!! 😉 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74698: You spelled Anthony wrong in the grid (but right in the explanation!) maybe an edit? It didn’t affect the grid Mitch just a double take to see it was a spelling mistake Otherwise rather good :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74697: Compactness does not mean density it means small size and need not be dense Opacity does not mean density - in photography it refers to how much something can block light from passing through it. In photoshop they use density for masks to define a combination of opacity ( for black ) and transparency ( for white ) I’ve still no idea what the Jaja set refers to the explanation left me non the wiser I🤔🤔🤔 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74696: I just can’t see how that group are synonyms? Their are a couple of pairs of synonyms ( pair and match & game and match) but not for the same thing and I can’t see one for all four? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74675: Nice grid. No idea how I missed the Now group link. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74653: Nice work, decent overlaps but clearly defined groups. @Grace, That's 'cos it's a UK grid, where the term "grocery store" is not in common use, and where a "grocer's shop", a term used when I was a kid, would tend to imply a small shop, not a huge supermarket chain. No excuse for not accepting supermarket though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Grace @ #74653: Grocery store not allowed as an answer? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74632: Can yo add "relative" as an answer? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Skerm @ #74639: jho - they are all synonyms of each other (scream, shout, make a loud noise, etc). But specifically, with the first letter moved to the end of the word. One could argue 'anagrams', but they all follow the same aforementioned rule. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74589: Nice and simple and satisfying (though living in Guildford I have a slight advantage) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74585: Agree with Ace's comments about the Superbowl. Mainly because I recognised they were singular NFL teams but not Superbowl winners, that is much more specific. Like a non Brit may recognise Manchester, Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester are all beginnings of English premier League clubs, but unless your specifically didn't have a club like Newcastle or Tottenham in the grid but not in the group it's very unlikely to have the knowledge they are the 4 most recent winners. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74581: I may just not be that familiar with Wales. But I've never heard of Chirk or Bala. Their populations are really small and I kind of feel it does require quite specific knowledge. If I were to use places of equivalent size in my local area I'm not sure that many outside of the area would be familiar with them. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74599: I’m not sure that this grid is fair dinkum. It requires only niche knowledge of football squads with no wordplay answers or misdirection. Has no general appeal. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74596: Excellent! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74595: Nice and easy grid for Sunday Well put together 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74585: Enjoyed this one, but a couple of minor points in your answers - the computer parts are not all hardware, the cities are missing all Es, not just one, and the football teams may have all won the SB but it's not a necessary part of the group or connection, so if you want to be that specific you could include others who have not won it. I'd never get it, but still. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74600: It's spelled "Madeira". (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74588: @Frankie, yeah, I have to agree. Two groups easily guessed by a process of elimination without any context, two that require a very specific and niche knowledge. I mean, tiktok? Please god no. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74585: Oops - forgot to say otherwise a decent if uncomplicated grid 👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74585: I DON’T LIKE BEING SHOUTED AT BY GRIDS - Why all the capitals ? The grid was easy - the connections need a polish - especially the nationalist one - and it’s a British flagged grid so spotting the three things for the American connection seems mean (The plural, the NFL and the Super Bowl winners) - though perfectly valid I suppose (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #58287: Would be better if Oliver was spelled correctly. Enjoyed otherwise. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74595: Looser definitions leads to less satisfactory grind and of course added to difficulty (eg Hoist which never means jack) Still fun - just not as much ! 👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74580: The tricky subject group is forgivable - gettable without spotting what they all are even Getting the name of one of Kubrick’s best known films wrong is not (it’s 2001: A Space Odyssey) - just to fit it as a red herring in another group. Dr Strangelove lacks part of its name too (it’s really Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb,) but more commonly, if incorrectly, shortened to Dr Strangelove . Full names or part names for them all would be ok I guess - but abbreviating to 2001 in a grid full of dates is just a cheat… And that’s what I didn’t give it five stars … (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74540: This was very well done indeed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74570: Have to agree with Toferino. When the solutions are too niche, the grid is usually impossible. But of course the solutions may not be too obscure for some people. (1 year, 5 months ago)

shryn19 @ #74580: @Toferino Thanks, for what it's worth I agree, I was honestly struggling to come up with something for the last connection so it was admittedly a bit of a cop-out! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Toferino @ #74570: Far too obscure for one or two of the groups. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Toferino @ #74580: Nice, except for the schools group - faaaar to difficult to spot, especially given that one is a two-letter acronym, one is a three letter acronym. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #73925: Great! Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cazza @ #74563: Great fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cazza @ #74567: Very good fun. Has to be links rather than link to satisfy the deodorant and County abbreviation (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #58393: This was lots of fun - great! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Stu1234 @ #74583: Connections weren’t accepted even if they were right (1 year, 5 months ago)

Grahammers @ #74567: Should allow link (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fisty @ #74583: Don't usually moan about connections but cluedo, fever and golfers didn't count even though golfers was the answer? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #58393: I don't know either. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Alison @ #74582: Please allow answers in singular, rather than just plural. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #58400: Nice one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

snag @ #74526: too much complaining in the comments. this was a good puzzle. (1 year, 5 months ago)

benj @ #74540: Not all queens, maybe co-sovereigns or empresses or something like this. (1 year, 5 months ago)

snag @ #74505: this was a good time to play thank u for making keep up the good work thank u again (1 year, 5 months ago)

snag @ #74567: trix puzzles are for kids and adults (1 year, 5 months ago)

Welcome_to_the_OC @ #42735: Some really good decoys in there! Great work! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #42800: Liked it - tricky and fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #57652: I enjoyed the puzzle grid itself however the answers were not there and were instead just random letters, unless I am missing something. But I did enjoy the grid itself thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

MS @ #74566: Apologies. It should have accepted tunnel. Have edited. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Penguin @ #74566: (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74563: juggling is spelled wrong (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74566: Won't accept tunnel? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74564: Challenging but enjoyed it, even if I didn’t get it all right. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #58429: 👍🏻 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74557: Good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74577: It was great and challenging - I am kicking myself for not getting one of the categories! (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74567: Enjoyed, thanks :o) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #58429: Found this very easy - is it in the right category? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74567: Enjoyed this. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74563: I love the missing letters questions! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74563: Fun grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74572: Great (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mamasan @ #74565: Thought this was great! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mowgli @ #74567: Excellent. Really made me think. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #74548: Enjoyed but can't see any crossovers - Thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74550: No. This is supposed to me a medium grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74552: I think you might be under the misapprehension that Keith Lemon is a comedian (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #74557: Just what I needed (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74564: Nah (1 year, 5 months ago)

Julie @ #74559: Chefs name is Ramsay, not Ramsey. Otherwise a good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #58704: It's Scunthorpe. And Penistone doesn't fit the definition. Not bad otherwise. (1 year, 5 months ago)

j @ #74505: great grid. strangely difficult (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74549: Not good. The organisation group in particular is ridiculous, you could include almost anything in it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

j @ #74519: loved this grid, didnt accept primary as a connection though. but ill take the 3 pointer anyways ;) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74553: Ok really it’s why clouds for when hot humid air cools - it rains when the water droplets in the clouds combine and grow too heavy to be suspended in the air. I suppose if I’m being pedantic in my comments about the answers I should be pedantic in my own comment ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74553: Almost a really good grid - but loses a star for Humid which refers to atmospheric water content and has nothing to do with heat.. In fact cold air cannot hold as much water as hot air so cooler air with the same water content as warmer air actually has a higher relative humidity. (Which is why it rains when hot humid air cools) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74552: Thank you. A grid with valid overlaps and only one solution - a proper grid 👍👍👍👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74551: I can’t believe this - two grids in a row by different authors mixing up peerage and royalty - The monarch (king) cannot hold a peerage (They hold titles like duke of Lancaster but cannot be a Peer) King is specifically not a rank of peerage. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74550: Noble is very specifically not a synonym for royal A Noble is part of the aristocracy appointed by a monarch - Royalty It is never royal (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #74145: Nice grid:-), got the connections for the last 2 just as the time ran out - sssoooo frustrating:-) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #74192: Oh dear:-( (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74553: Good ideas and well constructed, but humid doesn't mean quite what you're using it to mean - it describes the amount of water vapour in the air. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74548: Not bad, but the anagrams are a bit of a giveaway, with only charm and yam being actual words. Still fun though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nb @ #67493: Nice and challenging. There's an awful lot of easy grids so its good to have some hard ones too. As a slight criticism having two sets of last names isn't ideal. Please make some more difficult/fiendish grids. (1 year, 5 months ago)

mal @ #74525: Neil, if someone says ''let's go and see the Elizabeth Tower'' most ppl, especially tourists, wouldn't know where that was. Most ppl would know Big Ben. (1 year, 5 months ago)

M.mouse @ #74526: Is rocket a herb or spice? I thought it was a type of lettuce/salad leaves (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gem @ #74525: Spent longer reading Neil’s comment than solving the grid but otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Div @ #3801: Allowed connections need a lot of work. Nice grid though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bauer @ #74525: Neil is the type of person who gives out toothbrushes to trick-or-treaters on Halloween. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74552: Bit harsh that it didn't accept "nationality" as correct (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74526: Disappointed that "vehicle" was not accepted as correct (1 year, 5 months ago)

Pauline @ #74528: Bit harsh that it doesn't accept "doctor" as an answer (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gangster gnuo @ #74545: Yr pokemon dank (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #74540: Didn't accept "mischievous creatures". Otherwise, enjoyable grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #74525: Name calling on here is pathetic. Stop it or leave. Big Ben is fine on here as a landmark. (Letter homophones are done to death though!) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Welcome_to_the_OC @ #73925: Great Grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dale @ #74525: I agree with George, up to a point (1 year, 5 months ago)

me @ #74525: Ben might be technically not a landmark but I thought it was OK (1 year, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #53911: 59 years old and a great fan of language. In all my born days I've never heard of cheddar being a slang word for money (1 year, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #74542: I used to drift through life, devoid of any purpose or meaning. Then this grid opened my eyes to the beauty of existence (1 year, 5 months ago)

Eleanor Fisher @ #74542: Best Puzzgrid in town (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74528: Doctor should have been allowed for a ten. (1 year, 5 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #74494: mario, tomorrow, cut, power work (1 year, 5 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #42291: bob (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jacko15 @ #74535: 1 star, I (like many others) am allergic to soup and so naturally I am appalled that you would even consider including it in this grid. Shame on you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #16253: livin like a hermit crab (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #74536: Excellent grid - challenging but fun TYVM (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #74519: Don't enter plurals as the answers! Two of my correct, but singular, answers were rejected for this reason. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #74526: Put root words in. I typed 'herb' and it required 'herbs'. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #74535: Nice (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #58990: Interesting one. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Feathers @ #74505: A lectern isn't necessarily a religious item or symbol, so I agree with it being disallowed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74535: Needs to give you a point for buns as well as bread rolls, don't think the cottage category works as Thatch would need to be Thatched (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #74510: Nice "classic" grid, ty. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74240: Vampire/Dracular? (1 year, 5 months ago)

James @ #74535: Hahaha, loved the grid category! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74533: Good grid - like the differences in the groups (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74291: Excellent grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74525: Neil I was just about to post the same comment!!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74533: OK what is Devon cream not heard of this (1 year, 5 months ago)

Baldrick @ #74519: Good grid. I pity the person who asks for "cheese" as a Pizza. Live a little! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Angus @ #74529: I love the inclusion of fish in its group! had me completely foxed (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #74531: Can’t believe I missed the love actually one! I love that movie (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74534: So many Wombles! Sadly made more difficult by including Tobermory as a capital. With other red herrings like Hobart for that group it just makes it almost impossible to get even once you've worked out the possible categories. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Gatusalem @ #74528: Wtf ... Didn't accept "doctor", " bands" or "drinks" as valid answers. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74525: Nice and simple one. Being pedantic is normal hear, but honestly I think Ben was fine in that group. Was the first one I got and took only a few seconds, so it clearly matched in my head. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74526: Nice one, no problem. Just one tiny point of order though, ginger is a spice, not a herb. (1 year, 5 months ago)

christo @ #74526: Ginger is a spice not a herb. (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #74525: Neil, you are a prick (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #74533: Yeah why not? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #74418: Fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bearcules @ #74505: I was cross when I put in religious items for the crucifix group (1 year, 5 months ago)

Brooksy021 @ #74509: Thanks have now edited. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #59097: Very good thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Josie @ #74532: Thanks. Now corrected (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74526: Fun grid… missed the confetti because ‘vehicles’ wasn’t accepted. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Vicky @ #74489: This is grid of the week material (1 year, 5 months ago)

Vicky @ #74525: I disagree with Neil up to a point, but a good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Vicky @ #74532: You have accidentally put Zulu in twice (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #59133: That aside, a good grid without Friends/Cluedo/ other overused categories. (1 year, 5 months ago)

DangerZoe @ #74529: It's a decent grid, with three really good groups and one terrible one. One relies on you spotting two letters out of a 7 letter word, and another is not in the same league of fame as the other three. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #73803: Not where. Were (1 year, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #74526: The Victoria group is spoilt by Secret - as the brand is Victoria's Secret - so perhaps needs replacing by a singular, non-possessive Victoria connection instead. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #74530: Taking the capitalisation from the brand names works in terms of creating a puzzling word group but doesn't work in this context as without them they aren't actually the correct brand names (e.g. blackberry is not the same as BlackBerry, mango isn't Mango etc). (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74528: Doesn’t accept Doctor …. You might want to tweak that (1 year, 5 months ago)

Cam @ #74526: Jesus wept, hard!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74506: Too many interchangeable valid components of groups turns this into another game of permutations - which is never fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74510: Gelly - with a G - it’s even in dictionaries (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74525: Agree with Neil up to a point, but a good grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

S @ #74525: I'll meet you in London at 4? Sure, where? Big Ben? You know exactly where that is. It is a landmark. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74525: A good grid spoiled by including Big Ben as a landmark It’s not - it’s the commonly used nick name for the Great Bell of the Great Clock of Westminster The landmark is now called the Elizabeth Tower This fact is such basic general knowledge it is not a mistake that should feature in a grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74418: Very clever (1 year, 5 months ago)

Aodhán @ #74514: Brilliant grid. Really enjoyed it! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74506: Clever ideas and nice groups, though the Cupid link is very loose. However, there should only really be one valid solution, and,as Venus or Jupiter can be swapped with Mars, there are at least three equally valid solutions. (1 year, 5 months ago)

StevenEven @ #74521: Looks a tad idiotic when names are written in small letters. (1 year, 5 months ago)

J @ #74510: Nay, not one of your harder ones but equally enjoyable TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

lugs @ #74509: It's DORmouse, not DOORmouse, and Kevin is not accepted (1 year, 5 months ago)

Moondog @ #74509: Dor (1 year, 5 months ago)

Andy @ #74514: I spent too long including Tiger Bay in the Belfast group and being angry that you missed out the S (1 year, 5 months ago)

PokeNoob @ #74473: Hello, hope you are well this evening, this was a tad tricky as the groups were rather niche! Have a blessed day. LADYKINS?????.?? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Andy @ #74509: Good quiz, but you need to change it so that the Kevin group accepts "Kevin" as an answer. (1 year, 5 months ago)

my name @ #74505: i entered 'religious symbols' for 'items found in a church'. i think that should've counted! otherwise, good puzzle (1 year, 5 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #74481: Crisp brands didn’t work so perhaps amend to accept the singular? Otherwise a enjoyable grid to complete. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #59285: thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #59295: Enjoyed this. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74510: Quite tough, but I am sure the brainiacs among you will figure it out. (1 year, 5 months ago)

offmessage @ #74492: Really nice! (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74388: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

yes @ #74421: good (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74508: Enjoyed this! Some good red herrings... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74492: Really good grid. Nice mix. Couldn't get the Eurovision, but still very satisfying. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74489: As easy as 1,2,3 noice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74496: Very clever grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74492: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74498: Nice and tight, and good fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

PJ @ #74505: I thought the one group was "commonly misused word." As in, people say podium when they mean lectern, or they say font when they mean typeface, or they say cross when they mean crucifix. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74399: Nice grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

O @ #74505: I enjoyed the grid but Porbeagle felt like too much of a giveaway (1 year, 5 months ago)

scouse mouse @ #74506: Unfortunately doesn't quite work because mars could be swapped with either jupiter or venus (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74503: The answer for the "doubles" group is very specific (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74504: I put Norse Gods for the days of the week group.... (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74504: I put Norse Gods for the days of the week group.... (1 year, 5 months ago)

David Rees @ #74489: Excellent grid, very creative. (1 year, 5 months ago)

kaz @ #73917: need to expand on answers (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74475: Don't think there's a daily post in the UK is there. Diversity, in Scotland, yes. I got the newspapers group straight off by selecting daily tabloids, which could be added to clarify. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74481: @Neil, I see nothing wrong with that group. Are you just complaining about it not accepting that? Does it matter though? I mean, I didn't specify The but have d the points anyway (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #74496: That was good fun! Looked impossible at first and then the connections started to emerge. (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #74489: Never heard of a snow pea (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #74486: Not quite as good as some other grids by same author. The plumb line is more about measuring the weight of cargo than depth, which is measured in fathoms. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #74455: Nice grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74455: HASTEN had me guessing. otherwise 7 (1 year, 5 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #13420: i dont think you wanna be gardening with your kitchenware (1 year, 5 months ago)

Werehare @ #33323: That was really fun realising how all the groups related! :D (1 year, 5 months ago)

Werehare @ #49628: That was incredibly satisfying. Thank you. :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74488: @Bagsy33, Yes, butter and back in particular don't really work, and Bartok (why is it capitalised?) and Brown likewise. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jordan @ #74488: these group are too close to one another, so red herrings dont really feel like red herrings at all (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74484: Enjoyed this - good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74485: Not bad, but I think "ending in man" is a bit weak (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #74418: OK, 10/10, but I like 10/10 from time to time! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74486: Plum line is not nautical, but you do plumb the depths - nice grid - like all the paws/ pours ones and they aren't different sounds in my accent (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #74488: Some of these links are highly dubious - won't spoil it by mentioning the ones I mean - let see what others think (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #74469: Fun (1 year, 5 months ago)

Zoe Wood @ #74453: Great grid ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ken Guthrie @ #74486: Pours and paws are different sounds (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jordan @ #74492: really fun grid, i would have believed you if you said they had this on the show (1 year, 5 months ago)

benj @ #74486: Should say transferS so it can relate to pours. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #74453: Fun grid with good red herrings. Thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #74451: Fine except for the words of Gaelic origin, which to my mind is much too obscure (1 year, 5 months ago)

troemyd @ #74486: Is a plum line nautical? I'm not sure. (1 year, 5 months ago)

skinny @ #12347: Yep (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74481: Traditional Trades ? Otherwise a very nice easy grid. 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74478: Any chance of allowing parts of atom? I used that because in someone else’s grid I typed sub-atomic particles and didn’t score! Sub Atomic particles is better - I just got caught by second guessing based on previous experience !! Good grid 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74475: Multiple valid solutions makes it a permutations game and with 7 newspapers (35 perms) and a reference to regional pharmacies (and two pharmacies that use singular names in the first place) that all makes it a frustrating grid . (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74446: Good. Fun to solve. Shame the only simple general knowledge group among the wordplay and synonyms group had two obscure entries. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #74454: Guessed the groups but the different Permutations beat me. 6 for me, 10 for you (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74469: Nice grid. Fun theme to the grid. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74475: Good, but am I missing something, or could both Post and Telegraph in the 'means of sending messages' group, swap with Mail in the ''Daily' newspapers' group? That would mean there were at least three, equally valid solutions to the grid, which I'm not sure is how the walls are meant to work. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Kabby G @ #74457: Made the changes Below - Hopefully a better Grid now (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #74432: Enjoyed this one a lot. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #74436: Revolutionaries and biscuits! Where's the Peek Frean Trotsky Assortment? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #74455: I thought 'high geographical feature' deserved a tick! Lol. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #60658: Poor grid. The ravine etc group was easy to spot (as were the others) but trying to guess what you thought was an acceptable answer for that group was made pointless as your "model" answer shows. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74427: You are a clever person with world knowledge without a doubt.😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74450: Bakery cake no good? Not to worry it was a ..... Day Out so to speak. TY (1 year, 5 months ago)

St John @ #74436: Sorry did not see this earlier. Is this Aussie Rules Football? I put netball (1 year, 5 months ago)

Eclo @ #74431: Love the Peter Gabriel inclusion (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74432: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

no @ #74441: bad (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74431: The ambiguity of the animal verbs is forgiven for the Peter Gabriel connection - would be better and more accurate though if it was just animals in or even all used as verbs in Shock The Monkey (Darking don’t you Monkey with the Monkey) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74457: Very confused by this Burgundy is not a city - it’s a historical region and type of wine Bourgogne (note spelling) is not a wine it’s a region and the wine grown there is likely to be Burgundy And as puddles says - Gentling? Really? (I’d expect that of an American but not a Canadian - I can only find it in American dictionaries ! Ouch!) Would be a good grid with three changes ! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74453: Ok, but less than 30s for confetti is a bit too easy. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #74457: Bordeaux with an "a". And gentling - really? Otherwise, nice grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74453: Nice grid Glad you didn’t have goose in the golden group :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #258: Need better synonyms (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nero Wolfe @ #74291: (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #74445: I used “confectionary” for the sweets/chocolate group but apparently it’s “names of confectionary” which is a bit annoying! (1 year, 5 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74436: Bonkers! Enjoyed, thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74436: Inventive, good laugh. Well done (1 year, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #74454: Interesting selection of categories & I enjoyed spotting the random chicken ones. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74435: Inputted was the word I had the most trouble dealing with (1 year, 5 months ago)

David @ #74436: Love these ones and great obvious connections once you get them. (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #74453: Good one. As per Ace and Freddgar but better than being too specific which can be very annoying (1 year, 5 months ago)

George @ #74418: Nice one (1 year, 5 months ago)

Rosie @ #74436: Fun, thank you! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #74445: Ace...that's the definition of a red herring. Nice grid but elements named after planets they are not. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #74453: Super enjoyable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Finn @ #74454: Quality grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74450: definition of group containing troll et al needs more options as wouldn't accept my correct grouping and that cost me fill marks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Delboy @ #74454: Nice misdirection! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74453: Got the lot, but... As per Ace, maybe tighten up on the acceptable answer 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 5 months ago)

sparky @ #74436: Loved it !! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ro @ #74363: Great fun. (1 year, 5 months ago)

sparky @ #74453: Really good grid - cheers (1 year, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #74418: Neat concept... 👌 (1 year, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #74442: Nice grid! 👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74442: Nice one, but why the German flag? Nearly skipped it. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74453: Nice and easy one, although I felt a fraud for getting a point for 'film' given that I had no idea of the connection between them. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74445: Agree that the planets one is overly complicated, but the element aspect does avoid a possible swapover with uranus going in what would then become simply body parts. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #32895: very clever (1 year, 5 months ago)

Skerm @ #74432: Really enjoyed this one! (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74433: Only for film buffs (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60086: Quick to complete, a bit easy but fine. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74445: They aren’t the elements - they are the planets - at best it would be planets after which elements are named - and the status of Pluto throws a spanner in those works too! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Micharn @ #74432: This was brilliant! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74448: Fun. A little messy,with two groups being a bit loose/vague, but good ideas, crossovers and rude red herring group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74442: Well constructed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60091: I don't know about pokemon but do agree that trees should be an accepted answer. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60101: Rose - things that are white? How about talc, or chalk, instead? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60105: Thanks! (1 year, 5 months ago)

fezzo @ #74431: hmm for the two animals group - horse and snake can also be verbs; and they can switch with either "Rat" or "Monkey" and the groups would still be correct. Maybe remove the "verb" connection and just leave it with "Shock the Monkey"? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60125: Nice. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Dan Egan @ #73861: I guess this one is easy if you're a physicist. I normally don't get 10 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hb @ #74445: Fun!! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74445: Lovely easy grid to solve, clear groups, no swappable answers, well constructed. 'The elements named after planets' link was rather odd though, as it's literally just a list of planets, and needs nothing else in the description to avoid swaps with other groups, but apparently 'elements' is needed for the point. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juls @ #74436: This was great! (Although I think my house-mate was worried about me because I was saying very random things out loud :-D ) (1 year, 5 months ago)

rawbee @ #74441: Fixed. Thanks, Juls! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74432: Eiffel Swanson and stoppable had me guessing !! But I guess I guessed right ! 👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Juls @ #74441: You missed the second 'n' out of gang***. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74442: Great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74429: Nice idea - but a frustrating grid - needed longer - could see the connecting groups - or close enough - just ran out of time … (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74423: No clue who Mary Norton is, you picked some hella obscure Ghibli movies and as a non-religious person I think "bible" should always be counted as a correct answer when it is anything related to that, but hey that's just me probably. Still, pretty good grid, surprised myself with how well I ended up doing :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74411: Loads of great crossovers, if I could have had one more guess I would've gotten it. Also, for the Canterbury group I thought it was "last name professions". My last name is the Dutch version of Miller, so I guess I got stuck on that, but oh well! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Liz @ #74421: Took me a bit to get there (especially the deer - heart one), but got there in the end! Also, David Spade was pretty well known in the 90s/00s, thought I dont know who Anne Diamond or Brian Hart are, but that shouldnt matter. Great grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #74411: Great combination of answer types! Thank you (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #74441: Wow! I'm speechless - thanks! What's your COQL team's name? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #74442: Hallo from Australia! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74434: Good ideas. I was confused because ticket and stand can swap with each other - take a ticket and bus stand. (1 year, 5 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #39625: gum (1 year, 5 months ago)

b @ #74421: Obscure. Who's David Spade? Why deer and heart? Dear, maybe. Brian Hart - never heard of him. Poor all round. (1 year, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #74431: Not bad, thought the Taylor group was a bit iffy (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74434: Route etc are also things on/connected with trains. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74436: Tomm etc. are also all well known in the arts field. If you had wanted the welsh connection, you could have had kneel kin knock for example. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Hmph @ #74427: ‘Vireo’ quite a broad term re. birds. As an umbrella term it’s open to interpretation. ‘Greenfinch’ might have been more precise. Side note: what’s the difference between a ‘Kinglet’ and a ‘Goldcrest’ I wonder? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74422: Two of the Homophones weren't homophones, but apart from that, a very good grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Puddles @ #74441: Nice grid! "Oppa" group fooled me though (1 year, 5 months ago)

Meh @ #74423: Thanks Richard. I don't know how made that mistake. I'll edit. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74426: Easy bit of fun - but I’ve never ever heard a euro 10 cent coin being referred to as a dime before -maybe you should have used USA and Canadian 5 cents and ten cents and had Nickels and Dimes - maybe !? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74422: Aha - so you are a scouser? No one else uses Bizzies !! When isn’t a homophone for Wehn though is it? It’s pronounced with a V …. Good grid though :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #74429: Didn't quite get it all in three minutes, but I restarted the grid before the answers could come up, because I knew I'd solve it second time around. Great idea for a grid. Well done. (1 year, 5 months ago)

trottolina @ #74419: Bill Clinton wasn't a vice-president at any stage, he was president. Hillary was Secretary of State and a senator. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60549: Pleasant, bit easy for medium? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60560: Very nice. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73922: The cream group link isn't great. Confectionery, candy etc. would have been better link terms than chocolate. Fry's Chocolate Cream and Rocky Road fit OK, but Turkish Delight isn't chocolate flavoured at all, though the Fry's brand produce a bar that's chocolate covered, peanut brittle doesn't contain chocolate, and I've never come across famous 'brand' of it combined with chocolate. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Trix @ #74421: Neil, I actually had that first! I will change it back. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid @ #60699: I was convinced it was Don't Eat the Yellow Snow (Frank Zappa) which made it a bit difficult! Nice grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

skinny @ #74399: Addams and soccer both added as acceptable (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74421: Almost…. Straight talking doesn’t really fit - how about - one of a suit ? Or something like that It does need to be sterilised to get the d on the end too. Otherwise very good :) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74420: Quite good. Tricky, but it all works. You're right to say 'approximate' for the Oui link, and to explain/apologise for jam though. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74421: Nice and easy, but 'sterilise' needs to be 'sterilised' for that group to work. Also, 'straight talking' feels a little a bit contrived/rather a loose fit for the link. Lovely theme though, and nice clues in general. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74419: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74418: A joy (1 year, 5 months ago)

Enzed @ #74401: Very nice. Got them all after falling into the obvious geographical trap (1 year, 5 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74415: As advertised with pleasant groupings. As regards the debate below or above I forget where I wind up, lady Gaga and maybe Taylor Swift are musicians. The others not really. I wouldn't have thought of calling them solo artists either. But I think I would advocate for them all as answers (1 year, 5 months ago)

mal @ #74214: Fun, different, nice crossovers. Good grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74390: In your Ford group you mention Prefect, but not Zephyr. But there is no Prefect in the grid. Potentially a result from your tidy up? Otherwise great grid (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74377: A bit too niche for me, especially the Hole group. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74402: Doesn’t accept doctor for the doctor group Includes a non existent character in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (there is no R character) Not one of your best this timecme thinks (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74382: Clever groups and overlaps. Kind of fun to solve, but it was partly by lucky guesswork. Arguably all four of the Greco Roman entertainment venues group could swap with Colosseum, in the Landmarks of Rome group, so there could be five equally valid answers to the grid.The two groups are so close in subject matter, that it would be better to place Colosseum in the venues group and include another more modern landmark in the Landmarks group. It's a shame it doesn't work like a proper grid, as it was actually quite a nice, quick solve, and the other two links were clever. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Fairy @ #74377: A lot of Hole in there! (1 year, 5 months ago)

rubby @ #74396: worst ever (1 year, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #74405: Username gives it away, half term is it ? (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74400: Very sneaky, having Soldier of Fortune there. I was SURE it was about spying, but it's just about someone suspected of spying, so it can't be swapped. Very clever (1 year, 5 months ago)

David Rees @ #74404: Excellent grid! (1 year, 5 months ago)

MS @ #74400: Really enjoy your grids. (1 year, 5 months ago)

GS @ #72961: Music groups should be accepted as an answer (1 year, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #74401: Like @Malcontent, took a while to sort out the groups. But for me it was the engine connection I couldn't get. Annoying, but that's the art of a good grid, connections that you know you should have got but didn't. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74394: Interesting links, some a bit obscure but not impossibly obscure, or too niche to work out. Fun red herrings. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

BabyJane @ #74378: Julie, cheers - fixed Neil, apols- fixed Fred and Sid, thank you very much 😀 (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74401: Tricky. Took almost two minutes to sort the grid. Once sorted, I didn't spot the Bell group connection until the I'd been scratching my head over it for a minute, and felt silly. Fun & funny. Thanks. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Neil @ #74385: Good one (Even if that is a rather warped definition of an SU!) (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jeannie+Smith @ #74397: Need to change the alloy group- tin is a metal, not an alloy. Otherwise good (1 year, 5 months ago)

Buzzards @ #74397: Tin isn't an alloy, but otherwise enjoyable. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74388: Was Caesar an emperor rather than a military leader? Tomb seems ok for the mausoleum set. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #74390: Thanks Malcontent. I've tidied it up a bit. I think t's slightly easier to guess now, but it's added an extra herring. I had it my head of the Granada being of a different age to the others (no 60s styling and the only one you could buy in my lifetime), but it's not easy to classify that for a clear connection. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74390: Very well constructed. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74378: Fun grid. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74390: Really clever grid, and a fun solve, but Granada and Anglia can be directly swapped with each other between the Ford group and the Regional TV group, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the wall, so I must have been really lucky to solve it in two minutes. Nice groups, and fun red herrings though. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74387: Really interesting ideas, and a fairly easy solve. I disagree with some of your definitions/categories (e.g. vibrato and fry aren't ways if lengthening notes, bleep isn't the sound of a bell) but your link terms must have been broad enough that I still got the points. Fun grid though. Thank you. (1 year, 5 months ago)

Enzed @ #74385: Straightforward but nicely done (1 year, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #74380: Seemed too easy to separate the groups without knowing what the links were. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74378: Not allowing Noel? Always frustrating when you don’t get confetti 🙁 Otherwise a good, fun grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74367: Rock still doesn’t fit - steady as a rock is a simile but that does not confer on “Rock” the meaning unmovable. It only ever means that in conjunction with other words. Rock is not really a Janus Word - there’s plenty of others - Weather, Sanction etc. (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #74343: You can't spell rogue. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74355: Not really all synonyms for castle though - Palace just isn’t and Bastion (which is a specific part of a fortification ) is pushing it . ( and if they were a synonym group shouldn’t need further qualification - they would by definition be synonyms of each other ) Pity because it spoils a decent grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74287: S: Fair enough - fixed now! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74287: Paul: Thanks for catching that! Fixed now (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #74273: “Typo”, you say Trillium? I think not! ORIGIN OF PERNICKETY 1800–10; originally Scots; of uncertain origin; the prefix per- occurs in a number of other expressive words in Scots, e.g. pergaddus thump, clatter, perskeet fastidious, perjink trim, neat. That said, the sneaky little s fits in just fine 🙂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #74245: woody row very interesting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #74287: seems to be an error in your car group (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #74274: Very enjoyable and just the right degree of challenge (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sharon Murphy @ #73722: Wedding Ringo?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74276: The marvel characters - you should allow Avengers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74269: I think you've accidently put a British flag next to your grid. You probably want German. Still feeling pleased I found the currency group! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74270: Very good grid. Some excellent overlaps there (1 year, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #74272: The answer for catagory globe, white, ball and man should be snow, not SHOW!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #74273: Ha ha 😃 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74272: Nice and straightforward to solve. I think the 'Associated with' link is a little wishy-washy though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74273: Just for a bit of fun guys !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74269: Not sure this grid should be in the English category. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74270: Excellent grid. Separating the MacArthur and Rossi groups nearly defeated me,but I saw the links and had a couple of lucky guesses. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74271: Good. Too many 'wordplay' groups, but nicely constructed, and clever red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74272: Nice. Confused me with your typo of show instead of snow. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74266: Lovely grid. No obscure knowledge needed, just logic. Nicely constructed. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

DJCC @ #52954: Enjoyed this one (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #69761: Excellent grid all round. @Ted, yes, but as it's not in that group it still acts as a good red herring to a possible Atlantic islands group. Actually made it more of a challenge if you didn't spot the bakery group first. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74247: The Hague is the capital in all but name, i.e. it is the seat of government. The rest is just semantics. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #64463: For a moment there I thought you had a dog called Prince. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74267: Love your grids! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #64472: You typed that question here, rather than a search engine? It’s not the setter’s fault there are gaps in your knowledge and this one really isn’t that niche. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Josie @ #74267: Very enjoyable (1 year, 6 months ago)

AmandaT @ #74267: Loved this one! Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #74267: Utterly brilliant. Defeated me within the time but I could see the structure. Caesar and seizer - love it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

DJCC @ #53004: The link on the Stork group felt a bit weak. If you replaced Stork with Turkey you could have a tighter link (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74190: Couldn't see the saw what a twit I am (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #74252: The IV group a thing of joy! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Melb @ #74266: Aitch - agreed! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Aitch @ #74266: Great grid, but I awarded myself an honorary point for 'Knights' for the Bath group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

StevenEven @ #74247: Hard to pass the grid if the facts aren't right! Was thinking of various different answers for the last one, knowing that 'capitals' isn't it. Please check your facts next time... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #63370: (1 year, 6 months ago)

nighttime @ #74247: The capital city of The Netherlands is Amsterdam, not Den Haag. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Michelle @ #74252: Really clever and well thought out grid. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #74249: It's Walker's crisps ( not walker) and there's a typo in ''Paul dead'''. Sort the minor issues out and it'll be a pretty good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

BabyJane @ #74252: Love these ones. Cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #63568: I agree. Good grid otherwise. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Klee @ #74260: I made Dis (1 year, 6 months ago)

Klee @ #74260: (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74249: Great fun, well done you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74247: Really liked this one. Shame you couldn't make it insist on the 'not largest' in the capital group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74255: Super hard. The film group was already hard enough without the letter change. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74243: MISSOURI? It doesn't appear as an option. You have FINK instead? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74248: "Sixth" group is a nice idea but far too obscure to be gettable. Cymbal group rather niche. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74241: Nice grid, but wouldn't accept "photography". (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74255: I got the Orwell group, though despite reading 1984 many years ago I actually thought the connection was the regions in the board game Risk! Got the anthropomorphic connection but not the group. Wouldn't have spotted the Winslett group in a thousand years. Challenging and enjoyable grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #74252: Loved this, particularly the Ivy set (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #74249: Very enjoyable (1 year, 6 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #52255: elvis?? i saw him last week in cuba (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74248: Good apart from the "sixth" group, which seems way too unguessable (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sawyer @ #74193: cAmDeN type normally🤨 (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74250: Good. Muscle stumped me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mv @ #74247: Nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #64900: Tinea is ringworm, which isn’t solely a foot issue (see what I did there?) Good grid otherwise, as usual. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #64948: Helen, 1800s refers to the century as well as the decade. The 19th century began 1st January 1801. That said, “classic novels” should have sufficed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #63909: Aaagh didn't quite finish. Good though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #63923: Enjoyable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74249: It's Johnnie Walker. (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #74196: Underwear link needs changing. "Words that end in underwear" Algebra-underwear? None of the words end in it. Hidden items of clothing/underwear would be better. (1 year, 6 months ago)

H @ #74251: Excellent! Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74251: Easier than it first looked 😀 Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard Badger @ #74190: Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74226: Nice mix, logical groups, simple to solve. Shame cardinal directions wasn't accepted the compass group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #74240: Good/bad plus I'm not sure "sweet tooth" is a type of tooth as the others are,its more an expression (1 year, 6 months ago)

M.mouse @ #70060: White sea???? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #74240: Another in the bad/good camp (1 year, 6 months ago)

calvin @ #74057: Got it all except the football one, I thought perhaps there was some kind of Running Moon lol Enjoyed it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74243: And it's Coen, not Cohen (1 year, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #74243: Not bad. Three Billboards is by Martin McDonagh though (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74214: Simple and achievable (1 year, 6 months ago)

calvin @ #74193: I also tried fictional animals, bookkeeping terms, villians, none were right, still fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74207: Lovely grid. Just figured the anagrams but team of if time (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #64338: Excellent thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74196: Clothes not underwear, and every group is also amounts of things. I liked the idea behind it though. Awarding myself confett. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #74225: Frankenstein wasn't a monster. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74241: Great grid. I guessed the rappers connection so I was lucky. (1 year, 6 months ago)

kate @ #74238: Nearly said Fletcher's... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74240: Fair point (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dr Solvo @ #74239: Another quality grid from orchard. Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #74229: Really good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #74193: Used "fictional animals", but apparently missed the exact phrase you were hoping for. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74226: Nice. Fairly easy, but a nice mix. Good wall. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alex K @ #50504: Great idea, poor execution (1 year, 6 months ago)

Keuna Cho @ #74223: I agree about "measurements" or "units" rather than weight. Also, please accept "vacation" for "holiday". (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74185: Gore blymee I was dozy, and I should have seen your fav. EF. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #74219: What is VAPE juice??? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74226: Compass excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #74214: Straightforward fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #74220: Good grid. Didn't accept "ferdinand" as an answer (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #74214: Good fun. Some people are never happy. Only joking! It was an ace grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #74217: I agree with Ace and Neil. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #74225: Nice one (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74223: We could get even more pedantic and say that grams, ounces and pounds aren't units of weight either - they are units of MASS. Weight is a FORCE. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74223: Teaspoon and cup are NOT weights, they are VOLUMES. They have no single equivalent weights since weight is dependent on the density of the substance being measured. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #74216: jodfu4h What group would you have put him in? (1 year, 6 months ago)

BB King @ #68266: BB King (1 year, 6 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #74216: no james earl jones??? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Myname @ #46971: I wish I could say that was enjoyable. Clues were fairly off depending on your accent so I can't rate this high quality I'm afraid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #74220: Very tricky. Good though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

kate @ #74224: Loved it. Didn't get last 2 groups or reasons but should have :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

CHARON @ #56342: The saints and gospels are best known as the four evangelists. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #64476: Clever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #74223: Yeah I agree with "measurements" as opposed to weight. Also, I've been watching too much Simpsons as I went for lunch lady (Doris) as opposed to dinner lady! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74213: @Hans, yes, that's all very well, but the grid is flagged as Australian, i,e, an English language one, so you really shouldn't need to specify except when another language is being used. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #66037: Cist, surely (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74223: Of course they're not weights. A teaspoon (5nl) of water weighs a lot more than a teaspoon of flour. Does it spoil the grid? Naah, not really, just needs to change to 'American cooking measurements' or similar. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #74214: I know this is very pedantic of me but an ace is definitely not a face card. (1 year, 6 months ago)

hans @ #74213: I do take your input onboard, and I thank for taking the time to write it out, but just accepting 'lakes' or 'German cities' as a connection doesn't capture the extra level of knowledge reflected in saying that they're the names of those things in English, not their native languages. VCM: "I need to hear something more...." (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #72721: Nice grid. Seems some people haven’t of google either. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #64696: Cleverly done, thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pumpkin @ #74219: Nice grid! What’s happened to #74218? (1 year, 6 months ago)

AndyB @ #74216: Great grid, good fun! Use of lots of names was really interesting (1 year, 6 months ago)

AndyB @ #74221: Good grid, but connection answers a bit unforgiving! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #74223: No cup and teaspoon are measures of VOLUME not weight. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74213: Confused why it didn’t accept German towns when that was correct - but did accept German towns when it was wrong ! (For European cities ) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #74192: Wombles didn’t work even though that is the given answer and what is fever fever? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74221: You caught me with the added letter - I was putting them at the end ! D’oh ! Nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

american @ #14418: colors and colours should count as correct (1 year, 6 months ago)

PL @ #74225: Really great, bravo! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ezreb @ #74225: Thanks changed to Creature from the Black Lagoon, which wasn't a book— I was specifically going for the classic "famous monsters" which includes Invisible Man but I agree makes more sense w/o (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74225: Probably need to widen what is accepted for the monster group - for starters they were all in books before movies - and the invisible man wasn’t a monster - it’s a good group - but tricky to define so go for more key words or a broader definition and probably score more stars ! Otherwise a good grid with good overlaps and the odd tricky word thrown in :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74223: I agree with Jericho......unlikely as that seems. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74225: Great grid thanks for sharing (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74217: Synonyms are synonyms of each other by definition - a requirement to guess the writer’s (inaccurate as it happens) further description spoils an otherwise rather good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #74223: Yes, they are. Both used in baking. A teaspoon is just over 4g and a cup is 200g. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74214: Nice easy bit of fun :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74212: 👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Michael Cohen @ #74223: Teaspoon and cup are not weights! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kate @ #74223: Great grid. Didn't get any right but when I saw the answers, I thought "of course!" (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74220: Hahahaa @sparky let's not start that off again 🤣. If he is a man of his word he will never see it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74220: Now that was a toughie!! do you think Neil would have liked it ?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74214: Great grid really liked it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74221: Great grid well thought out. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #74221: Very nice. I liked the ouch/ow combination. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #74213: Nice groups, but need to work on the accepted answers (eg german cities, lakes) and the fourth group should accept many ways to explain it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74194: I thought this was a lovely fun grid - got the old grey cells going - cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74198: Nice easy grid - thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74201: Very nice grid - cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74217: Not bad, but the synonym group is a bit messy, as they're different types of terms, so not synonyms as such. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74214: Nice simple grid - very enjoyable (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74213: The German cities group didn't accept "German cities" as an answer (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74216: Nice grid - thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #62451: : ) (1 year, 6 months ago)

war2wall @ #74190: Good grid! Perhaps I'm too basic, but would 'cut' or 'cutting' not be suitable for the Carve, Score,[...] connection? Seems to me they're all things one can do with a knife... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #74177: nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #74204: Seriously, Godfathers of colonialism? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #74207: I agree with S and Rom (1 year, 6 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #74193: I found all four groups, but matched zero of the connections 😅 They seemed very ambiguous to me, for the same reason David outlined It is easy to figure out "These are all synonyms of log," "These are all actor/directors" and click the groups since they are unambiguous. But it's hard to come up with the exact grouping you thought they fit into. Fun grid though! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kate @ #74196: Agh that was tough as they all seemed to have a link to each other. Just because I didn't get any right, it's HANGAR x (1 year, 6 months ago)

kate @ #74197: Great grouping. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74214: Nice simple grid. To be pedantic, Yoko is mentioned only in the title, not the song itself... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Flanners @ #74164: Brilliant grid, really well thought out (1 year, 6 months ago)

kate @ #74176: Stewie tripped me up! (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #74207: Wouldn't accept blunt weapons even though the answer was blunt-force trauma weapons. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Myname @ #48933: Dolphin image is broken. World image is very focused on the Americas so that threw me a bit. (1 year, 6 months ago)

MS @ #74214: Really enjoyed this grid. It was fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74214: Fun grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #74190: Enjoyed the grid, thanks for making it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rom @ #74207: I correctly identified the groups but the wording wasn't exact so it said I was wrong (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74196: Not bad, fun grid, But yes, socks makes it clothing, and please try not to use American terms like airplane instead of aeroplane unless they have some meaning to the clue. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dava @ #68430: One you mean ine (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jason S @ #74190: Nice well put together grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74207: Lovely grid - thanks for posting. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dava @ #68680: Poor answers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Skerm @ #74190: Fairly good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #74206: Right up my street (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74178: House group was rather vague and should have taken architecture as a link term. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74173: Nice and simple to solve in under a minute, but still tricky enough to be satisfying. Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74194: Finished with a minute to go. Lovely ideas, but a bit confusing because there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Victoria and Northern can fit into the same two groups, so I wasted time trying to keep them both in the same one of the two as they should be, so the grid would work properly. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74197: Summer and winter can swap over between the groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74205: Very clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

ByUtahSteve @ #73756: Fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74204: Euro countries were also the main protagonists of the Peninsular Wars. More unique connection, imv. (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #74190: Solid, fun, nice, well done (1 year, 6 months ago)

HMK74 @ #74190: Great grid, thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74196: Hahaha thx Jrdn. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74199: I did not understand that! Sorry for the comment in that case. It still was pretty funny though 🤣 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lizzie @ #74170: Never heard of finger lakes! (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #74199: 😄 Good point, Phillyfella, but I think Haljam means the solution is not unique. Boy and Girl can be transposed, for instance. (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #74177: Ah, you got me! 😄 But Warwick was *nearly* a city in 2022! Ok, point taken, but Dionne is one of the names that gives a clue. Like Cee Lo, and Captain Jack. If I used "Andrew" (Lincoln) for example, it becomes a bit trickier.... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jrdn @ #74197: Un-bay-lievably good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jrdn @ #74196: Absolutely shocking....ly great grid! Well done. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74188: Same old boring Sunday Morning Old man’s out Washing the car !, Love it :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jrdn @ #74198: Nice gris (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74198: 👍👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phil @ #74197: Thanks Chris made the correction now. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74199: There are literally seventy four thousand one hundred and ninety nine of these! The uniqueness train left the station long ago. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74195: Excellent. Tightly constructed, all very plausible. Good fun grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

HalJam @ #74199: Not unique. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74196: Nice grid, some red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74197: Morecambe. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74190: Great grid thanks for sharing (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74173: Very clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74190: Good one, a nice selection of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74193: Great grid. The red herrings were really good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chig @ #74172: Great grid thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74198: Good grid. Thanks for sharing (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lucy @ #54971: Brilliant!! Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #74142: Quick rant. When I put Nato alphabet it's wrong because it's phonetic and the next time phonetic is wrong because it's nato! Rant over thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #74141: The clothing group works as made up of 2 different words! But yours is better. (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #74194: Is this a real grid from OC? Very familiar (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74189: Fair with a nice twist, and good red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74194: Disagree. I would have classified it as easy. Confetti in less than half time. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74174: @neil I will be crying myself to sleep that you won't be commenting on my grids. Thanks for going byeeeeeee xxx (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #74194: Too many tube crossovers for a medium grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74189: 👍👍👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #74193: the log line are synonyms for each other, not accounting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #74184: At the risk of being a pedant - in the Shania Twain song Elvis DOES impress her much. They made this same error on Only Connect. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74185: Not bad, I found the Errol Flynn one a bit of a stretch. Just the last word was pushing it a bit. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74168: Lovely grid - cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74178: Thought the house group was a bit weak. Contemporary could be anything. Something like light or ware may have been more satisfying. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74169: Nice and neat - cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74173: Lovely grid - enough red herrings to make it interesting - cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Loin+El+Richie @ #74177: Best grid ever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

tiger king @ #74189: Enjoyed! (1 year, 6 months ago)

tiger king @ #74190: Nice red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74174: Enjoyed the grid despite the small errors - it's just a bit of fun guys . Neil - dare I say, always the critic but rarely the contributor?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74187: Very nice grid - simple and straight to the point. Cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74188: Crafty - very nice grid - like the "sound of" group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74140: Egg one not a problem, but I didn't get the barb group. TBF barbwire is listed in the OED even if only as an Americanism. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74192: Sorry - but all of them have been done to death !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74190: Lovely grid - nice red herrings - cheers for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #65113: Very slick. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #74165: Excellent grid. Challenging but achievable and a good variety of connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74187: Great grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74189: Great grid thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Charlotte @ #74187: I liked this one as I could do it! I did fail on the final connection though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #65185: Lenor is not a detergent. Pleasing to solve, thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

benj @ #74179: TREACLE WAS USED A LOT IN EASTENDERS. MIKE READ, I THINK. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74189: Nice one. Monarch group is funny. (1 year, 6 months ago)

benj @ #74142: JULIETT IN IPA (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74172: Still didn't allow "dessert". Nor synonym. Lower case, singular. But a nice grid, not too taxing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #74030: I was surprised "Apostles" wasn't accepted for Matthew, Mark Luke and John! But maybe you know something I don't. Great connections and categories, loved this puzzle. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Vix @ #74187: (1 year, 6 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #48867: certainly was a grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #73496: Its spelt Altar when its the thing in a church (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pat @ #74179: Terms of affection should have been accepted for fourth group! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Skerm @ #74165: You should be able to accept "word contains every vowel" for the Sequoia category. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74173: Nice one. Not too tricky, but enough crossovers to make it not too simple eoither. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74175: Anagrams, yes, and perhaps allow mollusc. Moon group foxed me completely, annoyed that I missed the kitchen one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74174: Enjoyable, but yes, could have done better by rewording the clues or the answers. Paradise would have worked better as an answer, the vision one was inconsistent but guessable but needs to be more flexible in definition. (1 year, 6 months ago)

F @ #74184: Challenging but fun, managed the connections, struggled on the categories (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74179: Never heard of treacle in that context. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74176: I really enjoyed that one. Very satisfying (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74175: You may need to edit your description for the gastropod group. Slug with its last letter at the beginning would be gslu. If you say they are all anagrams it works. Otherwise a good but challenging wall. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74173: A really enjoyable one. And I think I'm getting better as I got confetti! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74172: A nice simple warm up grid for the morning. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Osier @ #71384: Top grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #74049: Fantastic grid. I just couldn’t see the Fragrant clue! (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74174: Somewhat shaky. Eden doesn't really fit the criteria, as several solvers have pointed out. And strictly speaking it should be blurred or blurry, blur is not an adjective. Still quite a fun grid, but needs tightening (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74177: Nice and neat, good one. Share quibble about Warwick, but not a big deal. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #74171: Really enjoyed this :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #65394: We know. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #65421: It's fine, thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74176: Well put together, fun grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74168: Actually to be fair Apple and Blackberry don’t manufacture either Foxconn made both - so I guess it works as it is (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74179: Good stuff! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74174: Since pedantry is required to complete grids you should expect it in the comments It is not pedantry it is accuracy and rather the point I do hope you enjoy writing them but I won’t be playing yours anymore No fun in wasting time on grids with inaccurate answers which and a writer who lashes out at perfectly reasonable comments Goodbye (1 year, 6 months ago)

JB920 @ #73941: @Alison 👍 it's my favorite (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #74150: Much fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #74110: Nice and easy grid Four Candles my favourite 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Johno @ #74110: If you have ever been in the UK this’ll take you 30 seconds, easier than my mrs lol (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74177: Very clever. I only just managed to solve it. Saw the links quickly, but wasn't certain of all the members of all of the groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jrdn @ #74173: Wow very good, but very difficult! Didn't get any. But, well done. (1 year, 6 months ago)

J @ #74177: Good grid - but Warwick isn't a city fyi (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid @ #65585: One of the best. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trix @ #74171: Nice TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

MS @ #74176: Thx for the grid. Very enjoyable grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74168: I’d edit pixel out and swap it for another (eg - Motorola - Nokia - Ericsson - Vivo - HTC etc ) - it’s not like it’s an overlap - but Pixel is neither a manufacturer nor a model - it’s a range of products marketed by and developed by Google with manufacturing by multiple companies Otherwise another fun grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #74173: Thanks Nighteyes. Corrected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74172: Sweet grid 😏 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anastase @ #74155: Good grid. I wasted time trying to find 'The Man from.......' (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74174: Eden was where God put the first humans before banishing them. If it wasn't heaven it was at least adjacent to heaven, a heaven annex or granny flat if you like. Either way if you transend earth people often describe wanting to be in Eden. It fits the group and all the pedantry nonsense written here by people I assume got the group right anyway won't stop my enjoyment of writing further grids that may not be perfect in everyone's eyes. Hope you enjoy them x (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74174: Got it because it wouldn’t go anywhere else - but Eden is the biblical location of the origin of human life - not a synonym for the after life - it accepted synonyms for paradise but that’s stretching it really Otherwise a fun grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74175: It was a bit tricky getting the connections but I really enjoyed it. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

skinny @ #74163: Tx grammars I’ve added it in. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Grahammers @ #74163: Movies should be an accepted word on the second one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Grahammers @ #74172: Dessert didn't work????? Really need to sort your accepted words out (1 year, 6 months ago)

Grahammers @ #74174: You should add paradise for the nirvana one (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74154: Very good 👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74121: Uncles,? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74173: Your description for the fish group is wrong. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74174: Eden does not fit either definition. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Golfer119 @ #74174: Hazy group: My answer- "hard to see through" X Actual answer- " synonyms for can't see through" Nowhere near :/ (1 year, 6 months ago)

kate @ #74174: Brilliant (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #74169: Very nice! (1 year, 6 months ago)

TheScrumHalf @ #74150: Marvellous fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kristin @ #74141: Clever and fun! This American doesn't think Ireland and island sound anything alike, nor do rusher and Russia, but that's not your mistake. 😊. I actually figured them out. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74138: Didn't accept knitted tops. Otherwise, nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #74138: Good amount of red herrings (1 year, 6 months ago)

PJ @ #74110: Not easy for a Yankee like me, but I still managed to solve the wall and get one group. (I thought the one with Fry and Laurie were Cambridge Footlights performers) (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #74118: Liked the ocado line! (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73990: This is a british grid, we don't have all purpose flour or all purpose seasoning, they are americanisms (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74122: @Richard, that's almost a rule here. @Toferino, yeah, I couldn't find a good way to describe it either, tried cereal crop harvest measure, didn't work. Fact is that they're not actually synonyms, just variations on a theme. But I gave myself the points anyway. (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #74133: the over one can also be followed by ER, the oven one is strange. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #48612: Very good. All made sense, and a nice easy one to solve. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #36791: Really good grid, except that ski could swap from the glove group with luge,skeleton,or snowboard in the winter sports group, as all three of them can also be types of glove. Unfortunately that means there are at least three four equally valid solutions to the grid, as it stands,so, great ideas, but not a good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74133: First one isn't board but is preceded by Over (1 year, 6 months ago)

sib @ #74133: Very clever but the "oven" one was a bit strange. Well done :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #74131: Very good - thoroughly enjoyed it !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #74110: Found this easy, but I'm in the sweet spot for TV watching when these programmes were on. Took only 32sec, might well be a PB. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74110: If you were not alive in the 70s 80s or 90s or at least in the UK in those times, you will struggle. Otherwise easy and gettable (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phil @ #74117: Great grid really enjoyed it thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74122: Nice grid, original ideas, not too easy, not too difficult, but didn't recognise some of my descriptions. So I got all the groups but not the full points. In fairness, for the bushel group, I just put 'hay' as I couldn't think how else! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74119: Enjoyable grid. Impressed with myself that I got the 'wordy' group. Missed the musicians. Furious with myself. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74122: Great grid really enjoyed it thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rich @ #74110: If you are outside of the British Isles, this one might be rough for you… (1 year, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #70025: It would be good if you included biblical places in your link, also Balthazar and Caspar aren't in the Gospels. The names and numbers of the magi are from a much later tradition. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #74080: Yesss lad! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #74102: Thanks! TBH, the only red herrings I planned were Meg Ryan and Kramden. The other two were serendipitous. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #74110: Not hard, but very enjoyable. The quiz master is either my dad, or UK TV Gold (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74102: The herrings are very clever, perhaps a little wasted? I suddenly remembered your penchant for anags and the grid fell into place. Very clever, well constructed and I will forego my confetti because I did not get the crystal connection straight away. TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #74077: Just had to put "myself" in the conceited line. Nice puzz. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #74053: I'm awarding myself confetti for putting volcanoes! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #74080: Enjoyable on the whole, I spotted all the connections but I failed to solve a single category, simply because there are far too many legitimate permutations. Too many ways you can form different but equally valid groups. I could've continued for another 30 minutes and made more and more ways to connect them. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #74096: Really nice grid. Nice mix with lateral thinking and general knowledge. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Josie @ #74077: One of the more enjoyable grids (1 year, 6 months ago)

Them! @ #74073: Fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74090: Great grid. At first I had no idea of any connections but managed to get 2 at least. Really enjoyed it thanks for sharing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74091: Tough one but really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74100: Great grid. Thanks for sharing (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #74091: What are a gribble and a Sea Slater? This is a medium grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #74063: Very good. I agree a bit easy but nice to complete (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chig @ #74096: Excellent grid. A mixture if themes to suit everyone and I felt challenged but not like a fool. This was the perfect grid for me and I can't thank you enough. A great start to my weekend. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #74065: "Taking something that doesn't belong to you"??????????????????????????????????????? (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #74091: Good grid. Didn't get the crustaceans! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Phillyfella @ #74069: Thanks @sparky I am happy you enjoyed it and that someone else realises things cant always be perfect but still fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

a @ #74062: Sorry, that can be read sarcastically. It was not. This is a good quiz just could use help to improve accuracy. (1 year, 6 months ago)

a @ #74062: Champagne/Champaign but also Holliday/Holiday to fit. Good quiz! (1 year, 6 months ago)

a @ #74067: I think it would have to be Elisabeth not Elizabeth to fit (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #74070: Perhaps a tad niche. Reduces the fun element for the mathematically illiterate (innumerate?) like me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74090: Very clever and confusing, but solvable and consistent. Nicely constructed and fun. Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74080: I loved the ideas and great general knowledge, but Newton, Ohm and Faraday in the Laws group can all directly swap with Joule, Pascal and Ampere in the 'scientists with units named after them' group, so the the number of equally valid solutions is in double figures. (1 year, 6 months ago)

CSS @ #74063: Very fun! Maybe a little easy for medium (1 year, 6 months ago)

CSS @ #74065: Good grid but could use a little more finesse on the guessing links. Some i knew and answered something that would be correct on the show, but weren't allowed here (1 year, 6 months ago)

CSS @ #74068: Very fun grid! Really enjoyed that one (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74077: Nice and simple. Very enjoyable, thanks. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #27250: I put party for the card group, which could work (1 year, 6 months ago)

Meh @ #74075: Leander's s definitely a real name, Ace, and quite an ancient one, though not very fashionable these days. It was actually the first thing I thought of for that line. Google it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74075: @ Ace it's not a recent name, unless you think 2000 years is recent, and it's pretty well known, just not often used these days in England. I was at school with someone, in the '80s with a Leander,so it kind of leapt it out at me. Personally l thought Caco and Geri were more obscure and their group link was more contrived -still solved it though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74075: @H it's just that I don't believe Leander is a 'real' name; if it is used as a name then it must be very recent and very unusual. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74029: Nice one. I liked the multiple overlaps. Some lower case/singular answers, e.g. sock, seemed to be unnacceptable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

skinny @ #74068: Good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74058: Not great. just 3 out of 4 movies really linked, no real internal connection between the books either, and Across the Universe is NOT about space. Worst of all, it's the Beatles, not the Beetles. ;-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74069: @Don, No, the administrative centre may have moved there, but the definition of County Town is not legally set down, just traditionally meaning the most important town(or city) in the county, and historically usually the one that gives it its name. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #74075: I think you just invented a name. If you're going to use them they should be ones in common usage across time, not just trendy at the moment (always assuming that it is). (1 year, 6 months ago)

Skerm @ #74049: Really enjoyed that. Fantastic grid. Disappointed in my 6 score, stupidly ran out of lives! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #74049: I'm fine with US politicians AND mixing them up at the start, end and middle of words. just makes you work harder :-) Good grid. Snooker group very tough for me but I'm sure not for others (1 year, 6 months ago)

Don @ #74069: I'm afraid, Nighteyes, that the county town of Derbyshire is Matlock. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71938: Nice ideas with good scope for redherrings, but only two groups worked, while the others were inconsistent and had entries that didn't belong. Darken doesn't mean gloom or low levels light - those are both nouns; darken is a verb. Nirvana isn't a location in Indian religions, it's just the idea of the soul's release from the cycle of reincarnation. You could change the link to 'afterlife' so Nirvana fitted,but then Arcadia wouldn't fit, as it's a mythical or idealised poetic location, with no connection to the afterlife. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74071: Terrifically difficult and well constructed, but Rebus and Morse are swappable between their respective groups, so it has at least two equally valid solutions. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Brud @ #73152: Finally, something I can solve. Hahaha (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #74069: Agree with night eyes. I guess a red herring for the sauce round was supposed to be Worcester, but it is Worcestershire. Having said all that it's a fun grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #74069: Derby etc are also county towns. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #74053: If the connection is just “Mount” there are two interchangeable solutions with crossed and fully interchangeable red herrings - if the connection is volcano there is only one solution - that’s actually how I solved it - so I’d tend to agree - Volcano has to be the connection and mounts should not really be allowed. Otherwise a very satisfying grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Noegginmybeard @ #73957: You might like to widen the scope of your answers as “Contain units of weight measurement “ was incorrect as was “UK place names” both of which are near enough for me to mentally tick as correct. An enjoyable grid otherwise. (1 year, 6 months ago)

malcolm @ #74049: would have preferred UK politicians rather than US, in a UK grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #74049: Good grid, but I agree with Jericho about hidden words, also you blow up balloons, rather than just blow them, so I think bubbles would be a better fit for the group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jragon @ #74030: o_O you are very correct and I had a huge brain fart. I put in your change. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #74049: Not a bad grid, but I think words-within-words should be either all at the start, all at the end, or all in the middle. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73987: Good fun, and good/interesting ideas, but too many (three out of four) word play/word alteration links and one very obscure entry (atta). Can't tell if it was well constructed or not. Two red herring groups, and so many red herrings for each link mean I can't be bothered to work out whether there are swappable answers. Solved by luck rather than skill. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #73969: Arcadian: Fair comment. Fixed it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73969: Good but I think you should allow casino for that group? That what was first in my mind (and they all have casinos). (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #73938: Fantastic grid - really made me think. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73716: Not really a fan of anagrams thar aren’t real words. Helps to identify a group though 🙂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

tiger king @ #73955: the spice one was obscure and messed me up. Overall nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73959: Same issue: correct answers are marked as incorrect. There’s clearly a glitch, because I copied your word for word for one and it was still wrong. Shame, because I enjoyed the grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73961: It’s worse than I thought. It seems we’re required to completely match your wording/spelling, including the full stop. No wonder it’s fiendish 😉 (1 year, 6 months ago)

gergo @ #73821: gergo (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73961: Nice grid, but you need greater flexibility on the naming of the groups. I got them all correct, but was only awarded 1 point for naming the groups (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #73152: Yeah, good, nice, easy and enjoyable (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #73496: Alter?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #73938: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Osier @ #73933: Very good grid. Nice mix of topics and red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fun @ #73958: Nice grid! I feel that 'Yesterday' doesn't quite fit into its group, and was there primarily to make 'Tomorrow' a more convincing red herring. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #73821: giza?? more like pizza, , yeah ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Finn @ #73938: Very enjoyable. More please (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72025: Not really my kind of groups- I could only get one link even after the wall resolved. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73942: Nice and straightforward to solve, though I had to think hard about the precise links once it was done. Great fun, thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73946: Good groups, maybe too many red herrings and obscure items for the groups. Only managed to sort the final two groups because of Red Quiver. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Trix @ #73939: sorry I had only corrected it in one box, thanks for letting me know. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73932: @Nikki - I often have the opposite gripe. If they are synonyms then nothing else needs adding. It’s not reasonable to expect anyone to guess which fifth synonym the grid writer had in mind I’ve too often been marked wrong because I used a perfectly good fifth synonym the writer hadn’t thought of - nor is it reasonable to expect a grid writer to think of every possibly synonym Synonyms are synonyms of each other by definition and no more should ever be required So I applaud Eidya for being sensible (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wavydot @ #73855: Got there more by luck than judgement. Left with 8 answers and several combinations that would have worked equally well for the final 2 groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nikki @ #73932: Just ‘synonyms’ seems a bit loose as a connection..although they are..🙃 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73939: Good fun, but I don't understand the "follows wear" solution. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Heather @ #70449: I have to agree that the homophones aren't homophones. Maybe only if you've got a heavy urban street London accent which does pronounce "th" like "f", but that's not good enough for a wall connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Heather @ #73906: I said "cat to dog" for the word ladder... maybe something like that should be accepted? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Heather @ #73932: that time reference hidden word group is beautiful! I was especially pleased with myself to find that one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

rinswiynd @ #73902: ok neil (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73929: Good ideas, logical and fairly simple/quick to solve. It's a shame some links were over specifically and/or wrongly worded. The 'Old Trades' are also professions that are surnames,and two of the 'famous Stevens' group (McQueen & Sondheim) are actually Stephens, which was rejected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72237: Some time the simple things in life give the greatest joy I finished smiling! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73310: Almond I think HMK74 is correct High Street in the UK means a high street presence a British store would eb a British brand of store of which there are very few now. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73914: Not my cup of tea (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73928: Golfer119 - I know two Tanias and one Tanya, I still didn't solve the grid though - my technical knowledge of geography was lacking. I saw the word based groups, but couldn't sort red herrings out. Frustrating (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73932: Lovely (1 year, 6 months ago)

Don @ #73926: You think Beatles albums are too obscure? Perhaps quizzing is not for you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sparky @ #73919: Nice and neat !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

d @ #73855: Rhubarb is the vegetable .. (1 year, 6 months ago)

b @ #73926: I completed the grid, that was fine, but I didn't get the Beatles group answer - I thought that was rather too obscure and spoilt a decent grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73926: Red herrings galore! Very frustrating but very good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Golfer119 @ #73928: Haven't met any Tania's yet. Kept putting Rwanda and Bolivia in that group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dale @ #73919: magnifique (1 year, 6 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73674: good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73910: Nice and simple, a quick solve. I have only minor quibble - 'turn in' means 'go to bed', not 'sleep', so isn't really a synonym for sleep, any of the other things in the group,even though it didn't make the grid impossible to solve. It was good fun anyway. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73926: Nice and straightforward (maybe I just didn't notice red herrings). Good ideas, and link terms broad enough to allow wiggle room. Fun. Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jarah @ #73915: Really good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #73852: Signs of brands wasn’t correct but synonyms for brand is. I don’t consider these are synonyms so perhaps the allowable answers need expanding. Similarly the stairs group are ways of going up or down more than ways of moving through a building. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Eclo @ #73912: Have Rectified the obvious Element clue - Sorry for the Inconvenience but thank you for playing! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #73912: Metallic elements - WRONG ! lol (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73893: The emotions group (which I got ) could also be described as the three contrived word combinations that are obviously going to include hidden words - then find the fourth - like doing the hidden in plain site round on House Of Games - the contrived word pairings reveal most of the group without needing to spot the solution Still lost on the presidents two are obvious but no idea on the other two (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73909: Loved this one! Very good. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73912: Nice grid; quite an easy solve, but satisfying. Didn't accept "elements" as an answer, though. :-( (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73912: Good grid 👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73902: Rincewind isn’t actually a Wizard - in fact he can’t even spell Wizard - with the word Wizzard spelled out in sequins on his hat With one of the great spells hiding in his head no other spell could stick and he couldn’t perform magic - his main skill was running away !! Still easy enough to know what group to put him in though And a fun grid … (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73910: Contains my pet peeve. If they are synonyms they are synonyms of each other by definition - no further qualification should be required - to make this one worse - turn in does not actually fit (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73892: Too tough for me. TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73905: Table table is a chain of restaurants often attached to Premier Inns as they are also owned by Whitbread - their menus are pretty much identical to Beafeater restaurants - also owned by Whitbread and like Beafeaters there are hundreds of them. Marilyn’s are little mountains - one down from a Munro - also hundreds of them in the UK - people go Marilyn bagging and if you collect 600 you get a hill walkers equivalent of a Blue Peter badge I find I don’t like Sparky grids on the whole - too much tendency to overdo the permutations and include painfully obscure elements - but this one was decent and totally legit - nothing obscure about Table Table or Marilyns - my only reservation is I have seen that connection before somewhere maybe on Only Connect (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73885: Not the J I know I think? (1 year, 6 months ago)

asd @ #73898: is dog male only? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73893: Really good, but tea and coffee can be directly swapped between groups teapot/teacake, coffeepot/coffee cake, so there are at least two different, equally valid solutions to the grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Peamama @ #73888: My proclaimers knowledge let me down! Hahaha! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73895: Really well constructed. Very interesting to find that aduki can also be adzuki, which I'd never come across before- I nearly failed to finish because of that! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73903: Interesting grid. I've only heard of one of the Ross group (are the other shows aired on UK Freeview TV?)and I thought Billy was a male goat, not specifically a young one. Nice ideas for though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

malcolm @ #73903: Slight quibble : this is categorised as a UK grid, but one of your categories has 3 US based answers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73903: Billy is a male goat. The baby is a kid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73891: Very challenging. Especially as I've never heard of cat mint or or horse mint. I am not sure that Bob fits in anagrams of boys names. That implies that Obb or Bbo is a name. I get that your can swap the two Bs but... Otherwise so many red herrings, and very challenging (1 year, 6 months ago)

Also I liked the ambigrams, overall pleasant experience. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ADBrazil @ #73888: Nice one. Maybe accept coaches as well as managers? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73888: Brilliant grid. I fluked solving it, separating the Hoddle and Miami groups accidentally on my penultimate life, but I just didn't know the Miami group even when it was sitting in front of me. Great fun, challenging and interesting though. Very well constructed band thought through. Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73882: @Nikki It'll be Rock, Eccles, Flan and Gum. You missed them because they don't really hang together very well as a group. Sweet or dessert is pretty vague a link, but even with that, the way the items fit the group is inconsistent. Flan, Rock and Gum (which I don't really think fits) work on their own, while Eccles needs 'cake' added so it's not just the name of a town. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73883: Very easy to solve once I got used to the lack of consistency within the links, but not very satisfying. Having the link for one group be 'add or change a letter to make...' and another link ' contain names OR homonyms of', seems a bit loose. (1 year, 6 months ago)

CornWoman @ #73861: Enjoyable, but I do think it's a little strange that one group is just of cardinal directions in general, rather than just one specific one. It might have been nice to have all four cardinal directions represented in that group as well, just to complete the set of four. After all, that's what we love! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73880: Too hard for me. It all makes sense when resolved, and with the explanations, but just looks like lots of bits of London. I got two. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #73874: I commented on read it but I want to add a little more here. It's a good wall. The Larry's may be a little US specific. And as I said there I never heard of witch grass. I think it was unfortunately hard but definitely well put together. All the right red herrings, But I guarantee you none of the Brits thought of Larry Bird or Larry Brown. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rape is featured so heavily in Greek mythology it seems like it’s a mistranslation. However the Jovian moon naming system makes that connection far too general. Great group overlaps - good connections - 5 stars (very rare from me!) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lizzie @ #73863: Not sure I understand the major group… (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73855: Rhubarb is a vegetable not a fruit However it was legally classed as a fruit in parts of the USA for tax avoidance purposes But tax loophole creating legal shenanigans in the USA don’t actually change the fact that it is a vegetable Such an easy grid meant it didn’t really matter … (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73868: Nice grid. Tested my turner prize knowledge to the max as I'm not familiar with one of them. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73852: Lift and ramp being fully interchangeable isn’t really a red herring Logic can’t be used to determine which goes in which group and both the solution and connections are correct Creating commutative connections is quite clever - bit doesn’t work in the framework of the site’s systems The same applies when a word is used twice - the system isn’t good enough to handle it so it’s best avoided (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73865: Nice and simple, but those moons of Jupiter are all named after people raped by Zeus, so it would be good if that answer was acceptable too. (1 year, 6 months ago)

skinny @ #73872: I’m sure it was Kubrick that wanted twins to play the part.. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73869: Lovely grid. Nothing too obscure, or niche but enough red and to give a bit of a challenge. Mistakes in phrasing your explanations made no difference to solving the grid or working out the links. Good fun. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73869: Fanlight is a kind of window. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Heather @ #73869: "followed by" water should be "preceded by" water. "prefixed by" light should be "followed by" light. "followed by" gas should be "preceded by" gas. "rose" was the only answer given in the correct order. I'd never heard of a watering can rose. I googled and it's a real thing. Maybe it's more common that I thought? And I usually hear them refered to as "ceiling fans with lights" but not the term "fan light". Having all the clues be the same type (followed or preceded by another word) made this a bit on the boring side, along with the incorrectly phrased answers makes this a lower score from me, sorry.

mudri @ #73733: Didn't accept “gas” for the first line, despite it being more specific than the expected answer. Also, it seems a bit silly that you can complete the grid just by picking all the 1-letter answers, then the 2-letter answers, before having to actually think. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73845: Jupiter’s moons beyond the Galilean ones are all named ( where they have names) using a system relating to descendants of Zeus and Jupiter (with one exception which was a lover of Jupiter I think ) - there are automatically non Jupiter’s moon related connections because of the way the naming system works. They almost completely overlap Greek mythology as a result It’s also a very big set - 90 plus moons many of which are now named I fluked on it really - it just became a mathematical guessing game only possible by resisting the temptation to select the two obvious groups Definitely a fiendish - but not five stars from me - close but not quite because of the above (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73839: Great fun and lovely ideas, but it doesn't work as a grid. Fall and storm are interchangeable between the snow and rain groups, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73825: Nope - they are not F1 (or any other motorsport) starting position.

Jericho @ #73770: Yes, Malcontent, they've got to be reasonably obvious missing links for it to work. We could do with a way of signposting grids with cryptic clues. They can be a lot of fun if you know what you're getting into, but very frustrating if you don't realise the intention. I was relying heavily on "Time Tennis" giving the game away, tbh. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #73788: I see your point now, Neil, but just "films" would be a bit of a loose connection, especially with a more specific group of them in the same grid. Cobra was Stallone, btw. ;) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73780: Please correct Rupunzel to Rapunzel. I excluded that for ages from the group and was looking for hidden words/ misspellings. Probably well constructed, but only one of the groups was based on anything I'm vaguely interested, one was pretty vague, and two very specifically based on niches I've no interest in at all, so not really for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Finn @ #73725: Niiice (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73770: Good grid. Great ideas and well constructed. I'm not a big fan of whole missing linkword grids, especially with so many clever red herring possible answers for the individual clues, as it's just too many layers of things to solve and remember while trying to find things that match, in the time. This was fun though and I (literally only just) managed it in the three minutes. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73811: Too clever for me. I preferred the red herring group to the actual links. The Jane group was a bit specific/niche/obscure. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73804: Very clever but so many possible connections and different possible groups that solutions to the grid that there are several valid solutions. Not sure having four groups of US presidents linked in different ways will result in a grid that has only one possible solution. Two of these groups mixed with other other groups would be great I got the assassinated group (but assassinated wasn't accepted as a link?), and the multiple presidents with the same name group - but I stumbled on the correct combinations by pure luck rather than logically excluding others. I was confused by Reagan being spelled Regan - so wasted the rest of my time, and my guesses for connections on non-president links. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73809: Nice and quick to solve. Took ages to work out the pier link though - I was about to Google 'words beginning pier', when I saw it. Clever. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73804: BTW - are you British as the flag on this grid implies or American as the flag on grids of the same name and contents of this grid imply ? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73804: Did you realise there are 1820 ways to make connections of four American presidents from this grid I could see assassinated - but couldn’t get them all I thought there might have been a Sweeney connection which would have been clever Regan & Carter but it turns out you just spelled Reagan incorrectly Mount Rushmore might have helped us non USA o files ! For me this was a grid that was too clever for its own good - with me spending too much time looking for a connection based on a misspelling (1 year, 6 months ago)

James in NZ @ #73806: Reagan is misspelled (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73788: Nicely done - Cobra had me scratching my head - I couldn’t get past films and that group are all films Cobra with Arnie, Cocktail with cruise, Bullseye with Michael Caine and Rampage with Dwayne Johnson - pushing fiendish as a result …. But stuck to hard :) bit frustrating that a full group has two full connections kept it off a 5 star (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73748: Needs to accept Tit (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73746: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73725: Good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73753: @Paul and saving Mr Banks and saving Grace. Not a great missing word link,as they're not all the same word. I wondered about the France thing too. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73725: Good one, nice and straightforward (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73694: Edited to include Oscars in the accepted answers, sorry! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73731: Good but nothing more annoying than having one of the words contained in a word at the start rather than the end. Generally on the TV show they are one or the other! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #73748: Misspellings of Jabberwocky and Popcorn to force a connection aren't great. (1 year, 6 months ago)

me123 @ #73754: Nice ideas. The correct spelling of MalEficent doesn't work for this clue - perhaps a different word would be better here (there's plenty that would fit the bill) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #73753: Daylight Saving TIme (not savings). And France is not accepted for the towns in France???? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73732: Loved it get buttling and underrated skill!!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

DahliaRey @ #73750: Enjoyed this, but it needs to accept uncle! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73722: H you must be very young not to know Bridge Over Troubled Water! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73733: I was surprised you have a Union Flag but use the US spelling of Sulphur! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73750: Wouldn't accept uncle in the singular, not sure I always like the hidden names when those names are shortened forms! But nevertheless enjoyed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73731: Good wall, just the right level of challenging (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73733: The answers you want are very specific. For example I recognised that they were symbols for chemical elements, but that they were also non-metals? Without Victoria Coren Mitchell asking you to be more specific it's hard to know how specific you need to be. I also put just known my initials and didn't get it. But that's me probably. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73740: Excellent grid. Needed a lot longer to try and figure out the clues. In the end I settled for just getting the connections! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73743: Very challenging and great idea. Your places/cities group wouldn't take cities as an option so may need to amend that. Also I think the song is April Come She Will if you mean the Simon and Garfunkel one? Otherwise excellent. 😊 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73746: Really nice one. Very challenging as my knowledge of antelope is not as good as it could be. I knew Oryx! But good wall (1 year, 6 months ago)

CrypTow @ #73740: sorry Malcontent, frustratingly I can't correct my errors as I mistyped my email. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73740: Please correct Johnathon to Jonathan. I was looking for other clues that meant 'mistake', for ages, and had to restart the grid three times. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #73740: Was nice, just needed a little more than 3 minutes. Car nation is great! But for detail, should be Spy powers. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #73721: Enjoyed this grid, especially HD. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73732: @Angie - Jeeves did act as a butler on occasion - although not for Bertie Wooster - but as Bertie said - “ he can buttle with the best of them". So fair game I reckon (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73711: I believe Susie Dent would permit 2 coffees, but I still prefer Julie Walters/Victoria Wood's " 2 soups". ;) TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kirsty @ #73733: BMW, QVC, etc… are initialisms not acronyms. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73727: Good grid, nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Angie @ #73732: Sorry to say that Jeeves wasn’t a butler. He was a valet, a “gentleman’s personal gentleman”. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kay @ #73626: Graph group connection is pretty weak. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andrew @ #73731: Good. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Loma @ #73727: I had a different answer for sear... Also, another one that ended in the same letter would have been better for the Tog group. Samo? Malt? Ghan? (1 year, 6 months ago)

O @ #73721: No grid of the day should ever be solved without any false moves. I agree with Meh. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73712: Very clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #73721: Loved it (even though it took only 25 seconds!). And nice connection between france and the classic rhyme: Un petit d’un petit!. (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73093: First names of tellytubbies 😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73142: It's not synonyms for glasses, it's nicknames, and the Man U one is far too specific. (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73627: homes not accepted? (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73632: musical groups starting The not accepted? (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73658: egg flip? (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73715: Mustelids on a medium grid, and not members of the weasel family? Also, there are far too many in the conjunctions and _ward category that can make new words with an E added or a T added. (1 year, 6 months ago)

George @ #73721: If you can't please everyone... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #73719: Never watched two of the series so next to impossible to guess. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73726: Nice mix of different types of link, but some a bit too involved to spot in the time. It felt like everything was a red herring for another group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Daxw @ #73694: Nice one. Yeah, I also went for British Oscar winners actually (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73716: Solved it quite quickly, but had no idea what the links were for the third & fourth groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jho @ #73715: definitions are far too specific. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73724: I need to revise my brand names. Literally only know Giant from that group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #73709: Excellent (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #73724: @Blue light card - Google the Clangers. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #73709: Enjoyed this. good fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #73712: Great fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

A Different Tom @ #73711: Whether or not they are being strictly grammatically correct when they do so, people do use all four 'uncountable' nouns in countable forms, with coffee being the most obvious one, so that is a poor category whatever you might want to argue! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Blue light card @ #73722: Wedding Ringo really ?????????? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Blue light card @ #73724: Iron Chicken ???????? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #73695: Nice variety in the groups and good red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hamburger @ #73711: @Tom - To count or quantify an uncountable noun we use a unit of measurement - a measure word. For example, we cannot usually say “two coffees” because “coffee” is uncountable. So, if we want to specify a quantity of coffee we use a measure word such as “cup” or “teaspoon” in a structure like “two cups of coffee” or “two teaspoons of coffee”. This is a partitive structure. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #73711: I'm afraid I've got to side with Neil, it's completely normal to order 'two coffees' or 'two waters' in a restaurant so that's misleading. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73712: Nice. Simple enough once I realised that all the groups had exactly the same kind of link, with a similar theme. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #73716: Good, but could do with some red herrings. It wasn't hard to work out the groups even if you weren't sure the exact connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #73722: Clever, but 'Wedding Ringo' is a bit of a cheat. (1 year, 6 months ago)

H @ #73722: Who's Paul Simons? (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #73722: I really enjoyed this one, clever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73722: Let yourself down on the Beatles - Wedding Ringo ? And using Starr in the link.. here’s a thought - use his real first name - say Little / Branson - trouble with that is Paul is not McCartney’s first name… it’s James - say PD / Taylor but that might be a step too far …. Not helping much am I ? - So close but no cigar (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73719: Not keen on tv series characters - easy if you’ve watched it - impossible if you’ve not Sure Wodehouse is a book series too - but all gettable from Fry an Laurie’s tv version For me it was easy (not very easy because I’ve not seen one of the series ) For others it will be fiendish A grid you either know or you don’t. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73719: Feels a bit too niche, but I guess you only know it if you know it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73721: Fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #73677: Neat grid! 👍 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hamburger @ #73711: @Neil You can't count breads, you can count slices or loaves of bread. You can have two cups of coffee or two grains of coffee, but not two coffees. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73711: There are a few other examples of uncountable nouns that are often used in countable form in modern usage Sugar is another for example (And yes a cheated with bread and soap) - but there are many examples that remain uncountable - eg. Electricity (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73711: And after that can we have some of those little hotel soaps to wash our hands with (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73711: I’ll have two coffees, three waters and five garlic breads please (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73709: Some of these are too tenuous to work for me For example, Logic does not mean nor imply common sense. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mahir @ #73715: There are more connections than the ones posted or some are maybe a bit too specific. Like Heraldic colours but not colours. I get it if it was the semis of Only Connect but outside of that that's quite harsh. Good grid though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73694: Agree with other comments, however a very good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mahir @ #73674: This was brilliant. (1 year, 6 months ago)

skinny @ #73708: poor (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73707: Very well constructed. Very confusing and frustrating. The boucle group is a bit niche/obscure, but guessable. Other groups all make sense but so many red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

january @ #73661: nice thing (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #73674: Very easy but fine, nice to have a rarer category (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73705: Nice grid. All the groups made sense and worked well, no ridiculously obscure knowledge needed, but it wasn't too obvious. Nicely constructed. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73700: @Bonifica - I didn't say the Holt group was wrong, I just meant it was obscure. I stand by my comment on the homophones group. In many (I'd say most) accents, Tuesday is pronounced 'Tyoozday' not 'Chooseday'. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73664: Looked at this blankly for ages, maybe a minute or more until I saw the hang line, then it fell into place. 🎊 Cheers Trix (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #73698: Nighteyes, me too! Very good! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73663: Was not hard at first glance, but depending on one's own vocabulary it proved to be a bit more challenging and fun. I like Indian food therefore I saw a flat bread and refused to let it go for ages. 🎊 TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mv @ #73700: I got the link for the Olivia group because who hasn't heard of Olivia Rodrigo. The days of the week one does work, but I don't think the word "homophone" quite fits! Lol (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dan @ #66911: Very niche! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73694: What malcontent said ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73703: Accidentally solved it because of the order I noticed the groups in, and by not seeing the red herrings. Had a wild guess at the fourth link, because of one item I knew and two (or three) red herrings in other groups, but it really was far too obscure. Not really fun or satisfying. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73699: Lion and line aren't homophones in any accent I've heard, except when people are fall down drunk. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73684: Did I get one group - not pygmalion likely !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bonifica @ #73700: I frankly do not agree with the above comment. The choose group makes sense and ignorance of the correct answer does not make the question wrong. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73694: All the actors have won Oscars, as well as being dames. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73700: I've only heard of one of the Holt group and the choose group doesn't work. Nice ideas though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alex Knight @ #73627: Didn't accept types of property - might be worth adding this wording, but good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73545: Please correct the spelling of Marilyn. The misspelling looks like there should be a hidden word there,and makes the actual group not a group any more, unless there actually was a person called Maralyn Monroe who died in 1962, which would be a huge coincidence. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Harriet @ #73686: Very good, tricky links (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73555: Very clever and well constructed. I was so flustered by the Wombles group, which I got on my final life, that I couldn't see the obvious connection for the log group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73662: Green things let's this grid down, but otherwise quite good. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73665: Good. Really nice groups and clues. Cans doesn't really work for its group though - I can't think of any accent where that n isn't pronounced and only used to nasalise the sound of the a, in English. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #73630: Excellent Grid. Yes I put the wrong synonym. but it meant the same. So we both get 10/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #73677: Good one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73678: Quite good, nice ideas for links and mostly good clues. Loved the Vila,Kirby and Prop groups. Two clues for the other group were poor, but gettable. Also, legend should be accepted for myth. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #2476: Christmas things not accepted?!! Otherwise good, although the Horowitz group is a bit niche. Also, either start all with capitals or none at all, makes the band group too easy to pick. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #2479: The only non-controversial group is the 'word' group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #2492: Agree with Malcolm re the tennis group (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #2359: Anagrams of acronyms? Really! (1 year, 6 months ago)

nicsturg4life @ #73584: literally cannot cope with how good this grid is (1 year, 6 months ago)

Noah Fell @ #73641: I think this is cool (1 year, 6 months ago)

lucy @ #73584: banger grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73637: The connection word appears in the clues in both the together group and the roads group. Answer in the song titles group needs expanding. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73640: Your answer in the food group is incorrect - it has pie, but should be steak. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73425: Things you can wear ....really? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73549: Really didn't like the happy mothers day mummy not a link! (1 year, 6 months ago)

VegasUK @ #73608: Nice simple grid, no issues with the Golden Goose, as it is a separate fairy tale to the goose that laid the golden egg. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73637: Fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

bert @ #13908: never used or seen or heard of using TQ as thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

jgb_2004 @ #73637: Hi, what is the error? thank you for commenting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #73637: There's an error in the Together category (1 year, 6 months ago)

big J @ #73636: nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73633: Good, but the Jingle group was needlessly obscure. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73635: Good grid, but lacked variety. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59488: Very good. Solved surprisingly quickly. Never heard of Bollock knife. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73629: I didn't know bar was a punctuation mark. Great grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

DahliaRey @ #73630: Great grid, I enjoyed this! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73626: "Although" has apparently been swapped with something else, so that works now. Still not really a fan of that connection, which feels a bit weak to me. Others might disagree, though. The "sink" group doesn't accept "liquid" as an answer, which was a bit disappointing. Decent and fun grid otherwise. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mark Rae @ #73628: Ringo Starr did not write Hey Jude, Eleanor Rigby or Yellow Submarine! (1 year, 6 months ago)

TheWriter @ #73622: *Shrug* made me laught! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ragman @ #73631: Garbage... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #73432: nice herring group with Phil and Si. nicely put together (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #73597: Very well done. Didn't see the Trump or Jefferson connections until the wall showed them to me. 6/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73628: This is pretty good, but I don’t think even his agent would claim that he ‘stars’ in Foxcatcher (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dom @ #73622: Movie is not acceptable but film is? (1 year, 6 months ago)

jonboy @ #73628: This is a goodie. However, Ringo only wrote Octopus’ Garden and sung lead on Yellow Submarine. (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73622: That’s nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73620: Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73622: Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73627: Good fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73571: smooth!! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73610: Lovely (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73622: I put tableware too so claiming my fetti! Lovely grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73608: Toerfino-you kill the goose that lays the golden egg ! Will check the pub out if ever in Redditch! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73626: Although doesn't fit the category stated at all. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73608: The Golden Goose is a separate Grimm fairy tale unrelated to the golden egg laying goose in Jack and the Beanstalk. Beyond that its main use to seems to be as a brand of shoes. This was quite a nice simple grid I thought. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ezpz @ #73432: ggez (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73609: I was brain dead while the time was running down but got all four when the grid resolved. (1 year, 6 months ago)

mal @ #73608: Very easy but solid and fun (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73616: There's no rules saying a word in common can't be sometimes prefixed and sometimes suffixed or, as in one case here, just pertaining to the word. It's a challenging one though. I certainly didn't know of all the ones in the Pitman group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73622: I'm giving myself "Hidden tableware". (1 year, 6 months ago)

UStralian @ #72893: Holiday = holy day = feast days on the Christian calendar. St. Valentine's day and All Hallows eve qualify. You don't have to get a day of work for it to be a valid holiday. You don't have to celebrate it either. Quit whining, it's a good wall. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ant @ #73609: An enjoyable grid, thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73616: I couldn't really understand how mother is a connection. It comes before Theresa and Earth. But Mother Jennifer Lawrence and Mother reverend? Same with massage. I've heard of massage oils. And you can get vibrating massage chairs. But while friction is used in massage it's not something I would automatically associate with massage. I would think more like effleurage or petrissage being the terms. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73621: There is a British flag against the grid setters name Waited for the time up out of curiosity as I couldn’t see even a vague connection Only to see the answers appear to be in German ? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73621: Ich habe es auch nicht verstanden (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73609: Liked the red herring group - didn’t like the inclusion of pain - pains (pluralised) maybe - but pain singular doesn’t fit for me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73608: There are lots of uses of Golden Goose - from a fashion brand to a “craft” lager - so no issues with that for me … Otherwise a fairly fun, somewhat easy single subject wall… (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #73608: Really clever, liked it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73605: I don’t think I agree with the comments about warfarin etc, or turkey and no reason not to have the title character in the group My only criticism / mark down is I don’t like grids with game / niche tv character names - they often turn excellent grids into impossible ones if you don’t play the game or watch the niche tv. I’m not sure if they are appropriate or not - I just don’t like them (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lucy @ #73460: Brilliant grid.. thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

David @ #73354: Also, they are fictional mice (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73621: Ich nicht verstehen (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73610: Very good, well constructed grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #73608: @superdolly, but can't you kill the Golden Goose? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dan @ #58463: Bird logos should be accepted (1 year, 6 months ago)

Peamama @ #73610: I thought the capitals was more complex, that they are all anagrams of other words! Music category caught me out. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #73616: Some of the connections are very tenuous and should be all suffix or prefix rather than a mix (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #73556: Strüdel maybe? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Marylin Smith @ #14437: New Forest and Shetland are ponies, not horses (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73610: Or bean either. And please be explicit in your explanation of 5 etc. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Angry man @ #73616: Wrong (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lizzie @ #72838: Seems a shame that ‘countries’ isn’t accepted (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #73610: Not accepting Capital cities as an answer! (1 year, 6 months ago)

sib @ #73610: capital cities is correct but not being accepted (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sredni @ #73609: Great false group. Very clever. Good to get the little grey cells working! (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #73582: Rhubarb Triangle is pretty niche (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lisa @ #73611: Rhyme 😂 😂 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73605: A decent first effort, well done. I don’t think ‘drug’ applies to all four of the group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dexaan @ #73591: I got close to a perfect score, but was Thai'd up (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #73594: Easy to get the hang of the connections, but trickier to get the groups (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #73591: Interesting connections and a bit of a challenge (1 year, 6 months ago)

Roll eyes @ #73611: So I’m assuming you’ve spelled ‘rhyme’ wrongly every time on purpose, especially as you’ve spelled it differently each time? Hope you enjoyed that. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73610: It’s not accepting the correct answer for the Rome group (1 year, 6 months ago)

UStralian @ #73611: It does not, in fact, help. We're supposed to keep these comments respectful, but under the circumstances, that's extremely difficult. wryme is not a word. Rime is a word, but it's not that word. Rymeh is utterly ridiculous. Please don't do this again. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73605: Hi Radiogaga - I'll take some criticism on my first attempt. It's difficult with Bluey, I could shove in character that isn't in the main family, but that makes it so much harder. I'll add drug for the poisons though. I thought I'd covered it with poisons, toxins and they can kill. 😊 As for Turkey/Türkiye it's a debate, so yeah, I guess not ideal. I know they want everyone to use the latter. Potentially I could add in Yea man! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73608: Nice, if straightforward. Agree on the goose/egg thing, unless you are referring to the pub in Redditch (& no doubt elsewhere) or the lager sold in Asda. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jgb2004 @ #73611: Hi Mike, the answer to that row is that they rime. Hope that helps! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73611: So, I type in 'they rhyme' as a connection and I'm told that's wrong, the answer is 'they rhyme'?? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73594: Very satisfying (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73602: I was so excited to have spotted the ''make'' group I had to have a second cup of tea! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73608: Sorry to be a pedant but the Goose wasn't golden its egg was! The Goose That Laid The Golden Egg xx (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chas @ #73603: Nice grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

RadioGaga @ #73605: Sorry, I'm just very self important and overreacted in my previous comment. This was a good grid I just wasn't intelligent enough to be able to solve it. Sorry again. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tim @ #73273: Oof that Mr Men one doesn't take prisoners. Borrrrrrderline unfair but it's there if you know it, fair enough! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Peamama @ #73607: Nice one! Like the wonton red herring. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Petroch @ #73579: Nice (1 year, 6 months ago)

RadioGaga @ #73605: Drug not accepted for warfarin group Having the link be one of the words in the group is weak (Bluey) Ditto Turkey - when the rest of the answers are English spellings it doesn't fit to have a random non-English spelling (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73602: Could the food group be extended to Middle Eastern food? (1 year, 6 months ago)

JEREMY @ #72151: Nice herrings. Ear could be missing an L for earl too (1 year, 6 months ago)

JEREMY @ #72153: Down and Sunderland are not counties and some of the other categories aren't tight enough (1 year, 6 months ago)

katrobrosi @ #73602: Did you mean to put Delight rather Turkish in the desserts group? (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73588: Very quick and easy, but fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73594: Well-constructed grid. Quick and very easy, but satisfying to complete. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #73591: Looking familiar (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73597: Tough for me, but we'll constructed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73594: Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73573: Solvable very quickly once I got the idea, and it's a nice theme, but 'all linked with ----' is too vague for my taste, especially when two or three things in a group might be words that follow the link term and one or two are things that are loosely something to do with it. It leaves the groups feeling a bit vague and arbitrary to me. For example, I don't think happiness is associated with yellow, so don't see how fits in at all. (1 year, 6 months ago)

t-star @ #59372: Extremely excellent. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73582: Nicely constructed and.fun groups - nothing too obscure/niche. My only complaint would be it was four word play based links, and three of those were 'followed by'/'following' type links. I shouldn't complain at all though, as that's probably what made me able to solve it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73576: Very good, thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

ezpz @ #33156: ggez (1 year, 6 months ago)

ez @ #21280: ggez (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73580: Nice and simple. Lovely groups. Thank you. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73596: It's Jerry Hall, not Geri Hall, I'm afraid,which is a shame, as correcting that would break up you red herring spice girls group. Apart from that wrong clue, this would have been a good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73588: Excellent. Really well constructed, nice groups and fun red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73535: Dammit. I knew it wasn't the Derby. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73567: Just face it. Everyone is giving themselves the point for US Cities because there must be hundreds of other conections between four such major cities that are less obscure. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73555: Forr anyone wondering, one was in the original 70s TV series, one was also in the original books and two were in a 90s TV version. I got 10/10 here so I'm not complaining. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73545: Somewhat lacking in red herrings unless I missed them. I'm still annoyed I didn't get what the tricky group was despite watching it all. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73545: They are the only 4 bands in the grid - which makes the fact they have numbers in the name somewhat irrelevant… (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73540: On the whole, a nice grid. It might be just me but I wasn't as fond of the 1970 group because there were quite a few years in the 90s when that happened. Oh well, I got two groups. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #73539: Liked this, well put together grid. Cheers (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73534: I have to admit I'm not such a fan of walls where there is a word that either precedes or follows the wall word for the connection. I'd discounted one word because I had a group where all the others had a word following only to find it was in the group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73533: Marc Bolan the most beautiful man in pop! - Discuss (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bookwormneil @ #73514: Can you update to accept ‘countries’ :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73524: Nice. The only group link I didn't spot before solving was the Hanks group, but my best guess, after solving the wall was right, luckily. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73527: This grid has added purview to my vocabulary! Great grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73517: Excellent grid! Only got one group,but still enjoyed it! (1 year, 6 months ago)

DahliaRey @ #73526: Perhaps add nobility to that group? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73526: Shame the aristocrat link terms were so narrow - royalty, nobility and rank were all rejected. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73527: Fun grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73514: Sorry, not good, If the countries are homophones then sprain and Yeomen don't work. Also Bath is not in Somerset any more. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #73521: Excellent grid TYVM! (1 year, 6 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73526: Good point, Neil - thank you. I'll try to re-think this (although to lose the word with the 'king' ending would mean losing a red herring ...) Maybe a whole new category is needed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Igor @ #73520: It was Patsy Cline I was thinking of :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73526: Unless I’m mistaken - a King is not an aristocrat - a king is a monarch (Royalty not aristocracy) A monarch appoints aristocrats but is not one themselves. The group itself was fair enough - but that distinction makes a correct category heading quite hard to define. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #73489: I guessed "Grammy" for the Liza group and it accepted it? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73524: @David Rees - I missed that too and was actually looking for hidden words … D’oh! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #73514: What was the connection for the countries? It didn't accept countries (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #73524: 5 stars… that’s a fantastic grid. I can’t believe I missed the Chrome/Brigade link! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cam @ #73508: Thanks Neil, now amended. It's my first attempt at a grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73489: I’ve never heard of your Pinky - but got the group anyway because of Pinky and Perky - who are actually puppets ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73517: Don't change it if you want the group answer to be Nobel Prize that is a valid group, you don't have to accommodate every possible link. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73506: Having Rotas in that group is a massive stretch. SPOILER A ROAST alongside BOILED FRIED and STEWED doesn't work. Three cooking methods/adjectives and one dish/noun with the indefinite article don't make a group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73506: Having Rotas in that group is a massive stretch. SPOILER A ROAST alongside BOILED FRIED and STEWED doesn't work. Three cooking methods and one dish don't make a group (1 year, 6 months ago)

Katrina @ #73517: Neil, thanks for you feedback. It should also accept academic study, but I'll add a few more terms. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73520: Good grid Which Patsy did you have in mind ? Patsy Gallant, Patsy Cline, Patsy Kensit (lead singer in 8th wonder but yes the same Patsy Kensit). Or another I hadn’t thought of ? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73517: They are Nobel prizes They are also traditional undergraduate degree subjects Good grid though otherwise :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73051: Good ideas and well constructed, but Waiting and End can be swapped over, so there are at least two different, equally valid solutions. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73413: Nice, simple grid. Nothing stupidly obscure. Glad I didn't notice the misspellings - things like that usually put me off and have me looking for hidden words. @mal 'Bulgaria' instead of 'Uncle Bulgaria' doesn't bother me. Uncle isn't his name, it's his title. (1 year, 6 months ago)

RandomSam @ #73475: Fiendish, Peeeeeet. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73475: Nicely constructed, but either I mistyped an answer, or your link words for the journey group are very specific. (1 year, 6 months ago)

jodfu4h @ #73460: now this is puzzgrid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73489: Enjoyable. Loved the Robbin group. Only just sorted the Dillie group (saw it straight away, once it was sorted in front of me) from the Duffy group (I suspect most other people will spot this one quicker than I did). The Chip group link has been done an awful lot. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Meh @ #73489: @Gridlington. They're mainstream to me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73501: Also, I don't think I've ever heard of fire in that context. Is it a very obscure, technical phrase? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73500: Nice grid. Great red herring theme. The Satterthwaite links been overused though and the Drew group would be a bit obscure for most people (but no more so than Pokémon, sport or Oscars, as far as I'm concerned, and way more interesting). (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #73489: Homophone of birds line is good. Fascinating Aida? Very niche! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73501: I thought photocopiers used toner, like a laser printer, rather than ink. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73498: The sausage group doesn't work as a group. Otherwise a fairly good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #73498: The Cumberland. Brat. Pudding and Dog group doesn't really make sense - I figure you're linking them as types of sausage - but the Brat (wurst), (Black) Pudding and (Hot) Dog is a bit too vague to really connect in their truncated forms (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73462: I would agree with the other comment. First names of sports stars in a certain discipline is does mean you really have to have very specific knowledge. Especially if it's not a British sport on a British wall. Otherwise good wall. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62948: Terrific attempt to use them all and have clear definitions. Where you ha doubts, I found I initially agreed, having said that it works.

Neil @ #73472: Whilst people certainly do shoot pigeons - both clay and real - I don’t understand your Dick Dastardly reference The programme was called Stop The Pigeon and there’s no reference to shooting him in the lyrics - Nab him Jab him Tab him Grab him Stop that pigeon now.

Gerard Mackay @ #73410: @Nighteyes It's a lovely place where pathologists study death and decay. It was also a spin-off of TV series Waking the Dead.

weegieman @ #73405: Amusing, enjoyed it. Hope it doesn't say too much about me that I saw arse first! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73405: Lol indeed. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73411: Quick and easy, but I was a little disappointed when "neck" wasn't accepted as an answer for one of the groups, nor some combination of "hit" and "sport" for one of the others. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dr W @ #73405: Parsec. LOL (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73409: Nice grid, with three fairly easy groups and one which I found really tricky; hard to spot hidden words when they are so short. Speaking of which, it would have been nice to have a more thorough explanation of the "Nepit" group, going over each item like in the explanation of the "Horus" group. Of course it's not too hard to piece together oneself, but still. (1 year, 6 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73371: decent grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

HMK74 @ #73408: Hi Kitty, sorry about that, I've added that in. Thanks for the feedback :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #73408: Nice effort TY. The 'crow' category doesn't accept corvid, which seems odd. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Liz @ #73389: Being Dutch myself the category with Cruyff and Kluivert 100% threw me for a loop. Not a football lover so this whole grid was definitely not for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Them! @ #73369: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Liz @ #73247: The bandicoot addition made this so much easier for me, was that playstation 1 good for something after all! Lol (1 year, 6 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73392: Thank you, Mike - I've added a few more :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fun @ #73400: Really cool! Ohio's group is a little tentative as the connector's only two letters. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #73398: Can someone please delete this rubbish! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73401: Nice grid with a good mix of solutions. I didn't find it *that* easy, which probably means I need to brush up on my general knowledge. Pity there were no red herrings for the "Mercury" group (unless I overlooked something). Learnt a couple of new things from the answers, which is always fun. Thanks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73392: Connection in the black & white group could do with increased options. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Garcia @ #73390: Really great Awesome (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #73347: Nice grid. Agree with weegieman (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73389: Good grid although not sure that Savage is a good candidate for that group considering his offspring’s youth and lack of profile (1 year, 6 months ago)

HMK74 @ #73389: Great grid. Could see the categories but the crossovers were too good, they beat me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73360: nice grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #73356: Decent for a first effort (1 year, 6 months ago)

Skerm @ #73360: Good grid, a poor show from me though! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73354: Pretty sure it's also "Chuck E. Cheese" and not "Chuckie Cheese". Plus the word is "retriever" and not "retreiver". Somewhat sloppily put together and the "lab" group is kind of silly. The rest is not bad, though. With a bit more care and effort, this could have been a decent grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73367: Good grid (although I didn't get the actor link - including a future role... grrr!) (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73385: Nice grid but make sure you use the singular for your connections! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #73366: Nice TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Frozen Manatees @ #18195: You need to remove "names" from your answers. It gives a correct answer as long as you put "names" even if the rest is wrong. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73380: That's a mean trick in the Iran group and it threw me! :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

HMK74 @ #73310: Almond Clark I take your point, but all are listed as UK High Street stores on the source I checked. They are all stores selling in the UK, not all UK founded, and admittedly I don't know what is classed as a 'High Street' store. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73345: Yup!, beat me. It was all there but I did not see it. TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73357: Don't hate me but is American English the preferred usage north of the border? I refer to miscue. Thanks for your grids. (1 year, 6 months ago)

St John @ #73360: Confetti time (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73364: Got it just on time, nearly missed the bait. TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #39677: Would not accept cake. (1 year, 6 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #73369: Benj- agreed (1 year, 6 months ago)

Almond Clarke @ #73310: I might be wrong, but surely UK High Street stores ought to be referring British stores, not to Swedish, Spanish, Irish, and one British store (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73310: Should have got the Ike group! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73354: ok ee cummings! It's spelt bartholomew though, whether you use capitals or not. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73355: I'm convinced that those four things aren't pronounced the same on either side of the Atlantic making that group tricky but there you go. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pinjin @ #73371: Enjoyed. Thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73360: Brilliant grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73370: Cheap was the key to the confetti for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

EmzMarmz @ #73356: Thanks for the feedback everyone - this was my first attempt so will take it on board. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73366: Good spot Nighteyes - amended now (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73357: I didn't get the "none" group so totally fell for it as a red herring in the other. The remaining two groups were fine and not "a bit of a stretch". (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73318: @Dom By definition, the Middle East very much includes all of Egypt. It is the only part of the Middle East not in Asia. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73360: It has long amused me that the men were called Tom & Jerry. It must have been deliberate. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dexaan @ #73370: Giving mysel the point for "fights" (1 year, 6 months ago)

GK Chaos @ #73369: Gerard and Neil; thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed! Nighteyes- Erm not quite. New York was named 'in honour' of the Duke of York- better? Don't be bitter and hope you get laid soon. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73366: Cwm not cwn. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73356: Yeah, the cards group doesn't really work. Just having the letters in there somewhere to spell four arguably connected words is far too weak of a connection. Using that logic you could probably come up with endless connections for any random group of four words: e.g. from the Skyfall group you can create the words "mite", "mouse", "yak" and "canary", and call the link "animals". The rest I thought was fine. (1 year, 6 months ago)

benj @ #73369: But Charles II and his administration gave the name "in honour of" his brother, the duke of York, future James II. It wasn't named directly for the city. Not a lot of resemblance then or now. (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #58891: Homophones didn't work and grid won't accept types of Street. Way to specific of this group (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73369: NY was not named after a Duke. In both cases the duke and NY were "named after" the city of York. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73370: Very fun, great connections! (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #73354: The answer mice should be accepted, not just mouse. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73369: No confetti for me - I could see what the connections were but couldn’t them all - and although I’d pre determined a group was “named after a duke” I still blew it - fooled by fruit! Easy enough in theory - a lot harder than it looked I needed 10 minutes for this one - but not bad and silly ones forgiven for the comments :); (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73367: D’oh got the sports teams and blew the actors !! Good grid (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73369: I won confetti, but I felt I had to work for it a little. Nice grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73368: Good grid - I liked this one :) BTW - I saw fighters - but worth bearing in mind that group can also all be storms (a meteor storm can occur when the earth passes through a dense area of comet debris and it’s also a 2010 film! ) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #73364: Nice TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73318: Great grid. Egypt slightly off but close enough. Highly entertaining. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73352: Excellent. Well thought out, good red herrings, most enjoyable (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73360: Well I’m over 40 so I enjoyed it !! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73356: The card suit one just doesn’t work for me - they aren’t anagrams, they aren’t in order - altogether a messy connection Otherwise a good grid Might be worth tweaking what is accepted for the ghost group. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nicheman @ #73364: Apologies Freddgar, Sol was a sort of incorrect connection on my part - amended. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73360: Very good Got all but the Page row Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73364: Good grid, didn't know about the Sol thing, learned something new You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73361: Would be a good grid, but... Some of the names ended up in the wrong row. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73366: Very good grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

Grahammers @ #73356: Why did ghost not work? (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73357: Bit of a mixed bag. I'm not convinced by the inclusion of "exe" in that one group, and the "loser" group's solution feels like a bit of a stretch. The other two groups are fine. The "ringtone" one is really tricky and was too difficult for me, but not unfair (just needs a better solver than yours truly). (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73349: Excellent, I was jumping all over the place (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73344: I didn't realise Reebok had changed their logo! Not that it would have helped... Fraser group doesn't work though, as others have said, it's Frasier Crane. (1 year, 6 months ago)

EmzMarmz @ #73356: Hi Mike, Sorry about that - I've now added a more detailed description in the answer. :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73347: Body parts group is a bit random (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73348: Good grid, small stretch with sharp suit, but I'm quibbling (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73348: Nice wall, not that difficult tho' (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73347: Well put together, entertaining, no niche answers - great! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73351: Answers still give Bombay Cat rather than Burmese Cat (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73356: Don't get the card suits group? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73355: Nope, that group based on pronunciation is not good for anyone this side of the pond. This makes a sticky grid pretty much impossible for many. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #73329: really good - great red herrings (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73355: Fun grid, with clear explanations. I predict some people won't be happy with the "mass" group, but I think it works (and the disclaimer in the explanation gave me a good chuckle). (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73352: Cheers, never really thought of the accent issue. Tweaked. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sala @ #73352: Hmm - Inns only a homophone for Ns in a few accents of English. Was totally scunnered by the sevens! (1 year, 6 months ago)

IanB @ #73354: To be really picky, strictly speaking it's a 'yellow lab' not a golden one. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Arcadian @ #73351: Oops! Grid is fine, something went wrong in the answers! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #73352: That's a good one! Can I suggest swapping 'inns' for 'tease' or 'eyes', though? (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73351: Ah, Opie beat me to it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73351: Unfortunately, three of the four groups do not accept the correct answer. Not bad otherwise, if a bit on the easy side. (1 year, 6 months ago)

H @ #72920: Being from the UK is irrelevant, his name is Stephen, not Steven! (1 year, 6 months ago)

H @ #72918: As said, it's Juliett, Whiskey, and Caesarea. And a hamlet is a settlement in its own right, not a subdivision. (1 year, 6 months ago)

DH @ #73333: very enjoyable, challenged but not annoyed (1 year, 6 months ago)

Skerm @ #73318: Dom, Egypt is a transcontinental country, with the Sinai peninsula within the Middle East. So I think for the purposes of this quiz, it's perfectly fine. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73339: Nicely done (1 year, 6 months ago)

tiger king @ #72613: I liked it. The kiss category worked for me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #73333: Yep. Got me, too. A fine piece of work. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #73318: You are correct, Dom. I chose it for the similarity to Carrow, but missed the glaring geopolitical error. NOT sure it's worth shouting about, though. ;) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dom @ #73318: Egypt is NOT in the middle east. Completely different continent too! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73304: Thanks Gerard, yours is much better. I have changed it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73322: Good grid. I struggled, but I had the sketchy knowledge to make it interesting. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #73318: Excellent grid - thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73324: Nice grid. Funnily enough, the hidden punctuation marks were both very clever and really easy. I think the heteronyms worked, even though I didn't see the connection. (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73329: Nicely worked. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73316: Good grid. Take That stumped me, I'm probably too old to know my way round stuff like that, but no doubt accessible to younger, more musicky solvers (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73319: Trop difficile sans connaissance profonde de la langue (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73323: Bit too niche for my taste. Isn't Hugo more of a novelist than a poet? Maybe Verlaine or Villon might have been a more guessable option. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73322: Like Neil, my knowledge of US history and geography left me stranded, but it's a neatly constructed grid, good stuff. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73304: @Neil Re: animals. You pass three of them whenever you make a comment, but I don't know where the fourth fits in. I think Union would have fitted the others better than Ladder, but that might just be me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73311: One answer away from a run of five confettis in a row. My fault as White wine was never going to be in a group of wines! Nice grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73322: Confetti! Simpler than it first appeared. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73323: I didn't think the song was the same each episode but I may be wrong. Have you ever noticed the tune, possibly Sumer is Icumen In, is the same one they sing as the policeman is about to be burnt in The Wicker Man. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73324: I think the Object group does work in British English but was certainly a tough spot. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #73324: Have you seen Chappie by Niel Blomkampf? People always talk about it being not that great but I love Die Antwoord. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #73316: yes. Confetti. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73306: Synonyms are synonyms - of each other by definition - needing to finding a fifth and guessing a different one to the grid setter is just annoying - it needles me no end (and that doesn’t actually mean provoke! ) it often spoils a good grid like it did this time (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73304: Good choice of RD - Bladder doesn’t fit … What on Earth does “animals used in puzzgrid” mean - although it gave just animals so can’t complain Kind of a “close but no cigar” from me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73322: Even as a Brit I know a state capital or two - but not two whole connections worth or how to sort them! My USA geography isn’t quite up to this grid! I suspect it’s quite a good one really though ! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73324: Hmm - one that doesn’t translate to British English so well We have ‘full stops” but I guess we get enough USA TV to spot that one really. And not sure Object really fits - not with my pronunciation anyway But the flag should have been a clue - a well crafted grid on balance (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #73323: Interesting but very niche knowledge. Not particularly accessible. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Toferino @ #73275: I don't usually like to see yet another hidden number category but you've used it to good effect here, providing some nice crossovers. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73316: I am a big music person and as such I’m reasonably happy to say I didn’t know the band one either! But not ridiculously obscure by any means - so a totally legitimate one to include Good grid :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #73195: well done! 'Famous Novels' should get a point for that group. Got me on the bases though 7/10 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #73309: poorly done (1 year, 6 months ago)

David Rees @ #73273: Very difficult but I enjoyed finding out what the categories were at the end… very clever! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73299: I concur with most of what's been said above. I wouldn't go so far as to say that it makes no sense at all, but I agree that especially the "orn" and "gin" groups are not exactly realistically solvable. I doubt I would ever have spotted the "ble" connection either, but at least here the pattern is consistent (and not as bizarre as in the "orn" group). (1 year, 6 months ago)

Stefanie Berkes @ #73296: A good wall with interesting connections - took me a second but satisfying (1 year, 6 months ago)

Lucy @ #68262: Love your grids. Thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73294: Agreed. "Anger" is perhaps also a slight stretch, though I did enjoy solving that category. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73299: Difficult without being entertaining. And pretty abstruse. I mean, first, second etc. letters of words - not exactly something you'd normally be looking for (1 year, 6 months ago)

Scrumdiddly @ #73296: Yes!!! My first HARD grid completed for 10. Thank you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73296: Good one. Straightforward but challenging. (1 year, 6 months ago)

J @ #73275: Should accept Ulster as an answer (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73294: I think the rhyming one requires quite a leap. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Scrumdiddly @ #73302: Liked this one. Couldn't get the jaffa, dolly connection though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73302: Unusually, I got none of the groups but got all the connections once the grid was resolved. Another challenging one...for me anyway. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #73275: Nicely done - a few challenges and nothing to specialist or niche (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73299: Well, I might have got this one given ten minutes but I'm not sure. Nothing here is out of my knowledge range, but the Orn group in particular may be an abstraction too far. If anyone wants a challenge... (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #73293: The alcohol group: you can also replace the initial P with an S to get new words (1 year, 6 months ago)

TheWriter @ #73296: Good spot! All fixed now - thanks for the keen eye. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sib @ #73273: once or onze (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #73299: Nothing here makes sense. (1 year, 6 months ago)

EthelQ @ #73276: Enjoyed that - cannot believe I missed the owls. (1 year, 6 months ago)

sib @ #73299: Nothing here makes sense - they are not connections (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73296: Really enjoyed this one. A challenge but not impossible. Just have a look at your "take a" group. You have used take a chance in your explanation, but it's not on the wall. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73293: Excellent wall. The alcohol eluded me! Lots of lovely red herrings (1 year, 6 months ago)

metalfan @ #73277: brass is an alloy not a metal (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73284: Interesting and clever grid, but a little too arcane for my tastes. Well, three quarters of it, because the "12 monkeys" category was a really easy solve. The remaining three felt like something one could not realistically expect someone else to solve, at least not within 3 minutes. One category like that would perhaps have been ok, but three just makes things impossibly difficult. For a grid that's challenging enough to be fun, while still remaining realistically solvable, I'd say the sweet spot lies somewhere between the "12 monkeys" category and the other three. But that might just be me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Anastase @ #73275: Good grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hello @ #73275: Good one mate! (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73273: The Mr Men category is fiendish indeed, otherwise no complaints and very clever! (1 year, 6 months ago)

adw @ #73275: Good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hippo @ #73247: Really enjoyed! Thanks simon! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73277: I meant to write "both commenters", not "post commenters". Oh well, now I agree with all three. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Ro @ #73269: Fun grid. Had to have the time twice. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73277: Agreed, dominoes too niche. Otherwise not bad. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73277: I agree with post commenters above. The Domino's thing really detracts from what is otherwise a pretty decent grid. The main red herring was cute. (1 year, 6 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73277: dominoes thing was a bit dubious (1 year, 6 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73247: nice grid, well done to Simon (1 year, 6 months ago)

Angus @ #73273: that was very clever, using film title as red herring. . . must be an age thing but i got the JLC one easy, not the mr men one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73270: Uh, unless I'm missing something, this is exactly the same grid as #73264... (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73264: Oh, and I always appreciate when the solutions are written out clearly, as they are here. (1 year, 6 months ago)

yetanotherrandomusername @ #73264: I strongly disagree with the commenter above; the film titles were the first connection I spotted. I mean, we're hardly talking about obscure titles here. But I guess that sort of thing can be very subjective: what feels unfair to one person can seem obvious to someone else. I thought this was a very nice grid, by the way. An interesting mix of solutions and a couple of clever red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nowon @ #72778: My name is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nowon @ #72776: Good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73277: Nice wall, until the Dominos category (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73273: Fiendish indeed, but I think just the first word of films featuring JLC doesn't really give the solver a sporting chance. If Everything Everywhere All at Once is deliberate, that is very clever, I was red herringed to smithereens! (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73275: Good one. Particularly liked the strychnine red herring and the hidden numbers. Simple, entertaining and free of niche solutions, good for you! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Hiniania Oplacop @ #72778: We like it and we think there should be more lives and put in cats for the game anyways I like it (1 year, 6 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73275: Great puzzle :) (1 year, 6 months ago)

SuzyPoozy @ #73263: Thank you for the comments, Neil! I've tinkered with the answer to make it more accurate. (Glad you enjoyed the grid.) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nb @ #66462: Good fun with some nice groups, unfortunately the solution is not unique as goat and ram are interchangeable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73262: Nice wall, good connections. (1 year, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #73262: very good thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73269: Bucks was a bit of a cheat - but otherwise pretty good (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73263: Hmm. A jib is a sail rather than a part of a boat. A burgee is a triangular flag and a fender is a loose item hung over the side - cleats though are part of a boat! Otherwise a great grid with clever cross group red herrings (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73262: Good grid. Could be nice to see a slight variation in connection style. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Pauline @ #73249: Didn't accept " animal babies" (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73232: I was flummoxed. But excellent wall with a variety of connections and red herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #73247: Good grid. Well done (1 year, 6 months ago)

Thoth @ #73241: Thanks for the comments. "Feat" would have been better. I'll bear that in mind for the next one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73264: I think just the last word of a film title doesn't really give you much to go on. (1 year, 6 months ago)

drip @ #73252: Not good (1 year, 6 months ago)

drip @ #73254: Worst ever (1 year, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #73262: Good grid Nice couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73247: Lovely grid. Well conceived. Have to admit I still don't know what a crash bandicoot is, but that's probably just me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #73249: Kit is the correct name for a variety of animals including a beaver,mint,ferret,skunk,squirrel,raccoon and many more (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #73258: Very good grid, the rivers foiled me (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73231: Love a red herrings group! (1 year, 6 months ago)

anvil @ #73249: I agree with Paul. Plus "kit" is the informal version of kitten really. (1 year, 6 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #73249: Solids added - thanks (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73087: @andymunro73 It often happens on the show that inspired this so I'd say yes. (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #73261: Goat not accepted for "types of goats". The Chase not accepted for "Chasers on the Chase'. Dunder is one of the reindeer. Looks after kids not accepted for "childcare givers". (1 year, 6 months ago)

anvil @ #73252: The Dr one gets done an awful lot these days. (Caesar and Dolittle spellings are incorrect) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73090: Tricky. I got three of the connections, four if I am less specific than you on the Abba group. ;-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #73241: Happy with homophones. Not sure I'd call sole as a body part. Feat would be better I fell down on my Greek knowledge. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Sam @ #73254: Who ever picked Coldplay songs should unsubscribe from Spotify (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #73247: Liked this one! TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Puddles @ #73249: Nice grid - enjoyed it. However the "3D" group didn't accept "geometric solids" (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73252: Dammit! I solved the grid with 2 1/2 minutes to spare then didn't get the Caesar connection staring me in the face. I'm not using the fact you spelt it "Ceasar" as an excuse. Nonetheless it was fun. (1 year, 6 months ago)

PJ @ #73221: League and Dipper could be switched and the groups would still work. (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73251: Nice stuff. Getting 6 dwarfs in, 2 red herrings, amused me. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73133: I did wonder what Swiss chess was. Perhaps it's where neither side moves because they are both neutral. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73235: *Paul * (1 year, 6 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73235: I agree - with Payl (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73238: @Nighteyes Is that really constructive criticism? Castlevania is a popular series of video games and many will have got that group even if it's the only one I didn't get. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73230: @Nighteyes Balance scales are a symbol of Pyrrhonism apparently (according to Wikipedia). (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73241: @S Probably not a serious comment but I'll take the bait. They were homophones, words that sound like parts of the body so none had "wrong spelling". (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bigplantpot @ #73247: Enjoyed it. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #73240: Hi Neil. It should accept bands. "band" is the first key word on the list. Any chance you mistyped? Hi Them! A Gridiron is a metal grate used for broiling meat, and also the name for an American Football field, due to the similarity of the pitch markings to a gridiron. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #73249: Loved it, TY (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #73249: hmmm . ... i liked it, but the pedant in me thinks that if you have square, parallellogram and rhombus in a group, then circle doesnt really fit like kite would. (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #73241: Wrong spelling of three of the body parts making the grid unsolvable. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73224: Just put the correct capital letters in a few and it's a nice grid. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #51139: (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73237: Well today I learnt the H stands for Harriet. Got the other groups OK though. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Baron @ #73238: Perfectly scure way to enjoy my time. Soma group only one I didn't have a chance on, but others would. Taxes group superb (1 year, 6 months ago)

Them! @ #73240: Never heard of a ‘gridiron’ (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73239: But the setter is British. So by choosing that nationality, one ought to be able to assume the correct spelling is used. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73239: ClearStory is a little known British TV production company but seems a bit obscure to be the connection. Others have complained about multistory, but that would be the American spelling. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73230: Pyrronism is essentially skeptism. In what context is it represented by scales? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jif @ #62036: Fun grid! Or should I say ‘ nuf dirg’? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73237: James etc are also forenames used as surnames. Harriet etc. Is unbelievably obscure. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Karen Wooding @ #73239: Multi Storey has an E so multi storey (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73240: Why does it not allow bands as an answer - after all there are no bands on there other than four letter named ones so saying anything more than just bands is redundant … (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73238: Ridiculously obscure waste of time. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73240: Good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73239: Multi is storey, not story. Clear story? Do you mean clerestory? As in a type of window? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #73204: I said vehicles for red group and it said wrong. That needs correcting. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73221: This was fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #67625: Love this. Solved them but nowhere near quick enough for full marks! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #67701: Nice grids with lots of overlapping red herrings (1 year, 6 months ago)

Rich @ #73215: Like the groups, but they stood out to us for whatever reason, without seeing herrings. (1 year, 6 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #73235: I liked the ideas of all the groups and enjoyed playing it but agree that donate, should be donation for consistency. Also homophone groups tend not to travel well - even between England and Scotland! Nice groups, execution could be tweaked to get to 5-star! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73221: Thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you (1 year, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #73235: Fun! Well done. (1 year, 6 months ago)

ADBrazil @ #73211: Nice one! (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73231: Nice one. The mattresses threw me! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Peamama @ #73228: It was an error that I fixed before the original was submitted. This grid is actually already on the site. It just resubmitted for some strange reason. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gene @ #73223: Good grid! Allow 'land locked' (2 words). (1 year, 6 months ago)

weegieman @ #73235: Possibly being picky but 3 nouns and 1 verb is weak, should be donation I think. Also, alms and arms? Stretching it a bit. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nb @ #66441: Nice grid. Beaten by the eggs so just a 7 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73229: Good grid! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Karlijn @ #73224: There is a mistake in this wall. Toto is not the name of the song, it's the name of the band. Africa is the name of the song (1 year, 6 months ago)

Grahammers @ #73222: @verbena Adjusted, apologies on that (1 year, 6 months ago)

verbena @ #73222: good grid but a bit miffed that my answer "ships that sank" was deemed incorrect. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Thoth @ #73219: Thanks for pointing that out. I've fixed it now. (1 year, 6 months ago)

S @ #72844: Too specific on "ways to attack". I put fighting which is correct. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73215: Really enjoyed this one. Satisfying (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73218: I think there are few errors here. Cordelia not Cornelia. And I think you meant to only do the first parts of Eton, Angel etc. Would have been more challenging as Angel can be a character and pub too. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Fairy @ #73219: Very much enjoyed. I lived that you put Rupert using his first name. But please ensure your change it to Cordelia, I don't thing she'd be amused. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #73209: I enjoyed this - knew the connections but could not quite get the groups in time (1 year, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #73212: Spelling errors due to auto correct, space availability and human error. Just a little puzzle compiled for my amusement. (1 year, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #73215: No improvement needed IMHO (1 year, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73214: Tails? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73212: I wouldn't usually call someone's spelling sloppy, but when an option is "Hang On Sloppy" I can't help it. I thought the errors: an L missing in "That'll Be the Day", Judge Dredd mistaken for Judge Dread were part of the connections. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73218: Enjoyed this :-) (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #34856: That was fun! (1 year, 6 months ago)

Bee @ #73219: It's Cordelia not Cornelia (1 year, 6 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73153: I just Googled whether a giraffe has a voice box. They do but it is difficult to provide enough airflow up their long tracheas to vibrate the large vocal folds. In 2015 it was confirmed that giraffes do make largely infrasonic humming vocalisations at night. (1 year, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #73213: Nice grid. I swapped the first letter to B for that group, feeling pretty sure it wasn’t right. My description brought ne correct answer 🤣 (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73212: Why is the song title first in three of the four, but second in the fourth? Is this deli erate misdirection? Are the misspellings supposed to be red herrings? (1 year, 6 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #73215: Good wall, not difficult but no contentious groupings (1 year, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #73203: Not to tricky - nice to play - I don’t know my tube line colours but Hammersmith and city isn’t a super hero love interest so I guess it’s pink !! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73171: Can't say I'm a fan of the pig connection. To have 3 pigs from one TV programme then another from a book written 50 odd year before that programme with no connection to the programme is a bit tenuous. If you'd had another fictional pig maybe? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #73203: Enjoyed that, nice one (1 year, 7 months ago)

tiger king @ #73165: Nice grid. Not too hard. Very enjoyable. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73174: Really good. I managed to avoid the Anne Robinson, Dent and Life of Riley red herrings by seeing countdown first. Otherwise I would have really struggled. Also agree with you Life of Luxury. And Dent, scrape, mark nick, chip all seem similar in meaning. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73187: Very good. I didn't get it, but some excellent connections and red herrings. Work to the standard of Waley-Cohen (1 year, 7 months ago)

Maxine @ #73174: Isn't the phrase actually "lap of luxury"? (1 year, 7 months ago)

LuciusMofo @ #73203: Thanks Mouse. Done (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #73203: Footwear not accepted, needs answer adjusting. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Pauline @ #73202: Didn't accept Dirty Dancing characters! (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #1938: Very good. Neat themed idea with the languages as the common feature (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #73202: I'm being pedantic but whisper, shout, laugh and smile are verbs. I think the ing forms are gerunds. Also agree with Puddles, verbs is too broad as a category. (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #73174: Nifty, apart from the chip, mark dent, scrape one, which I thought was a bit tenuous (1 year, 7 months ago)

Puddles @ #73202: Verbs is far too broad as a category. Otherwise, nice grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

weegieman @ #73186: Good grid, neatly put together (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73186: Clever grid thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #73152: An easy one, but enjoyable thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Htims Recneps @ #73144: I wish I could meet the person making these grids just to tell him how great he is (1 year, 7 months ago)

Htims Recneps @ #73143: The person making these grids is quite possibly the best quiz maker ever. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Leela @ #29683: Amazing game (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73189: There are loads of versions of Android that are not baked goods, lollipop, nougat, marshmallow, jelly bean... It would have been better to use one of those of you wouldn't accept baked goods. Also agree with below, on a keyboard is fine, you shouldn't have to specify they are function buttons. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Snowdog @ #73189: They might be commands but they are also all keys ! All those operating systems are also baked goods The Snowdog shall have his revenge !!! ;) (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #71254: Easy and fun - One category could also be Olympic Host cities...I didn't say capitals because I thought it too obvious. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73128: Good mix of clues and herrings. I can't believe that the first thing that crossed my mind when the grid opened was "Sean Cannery" - and never took it further. :/ (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73186: Another nice one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73174: Nice (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73131: Thanks - another good one...Would've had confetti if I hadn't gone down a rabbit hole in my mind - The 3rd man, The Triforce, Oh Heavenly Dog (I was thinking that the Trinity was pushing it) and Life of 3.14159 (1 year, 7 months ago)

NAYA @ #73181: HANAR (1 year, 7 months ago)

Cam @ #72452: One group blindingly obvious by being all lower-case except for a person's name. Shame, it would have been a lovely grid otherwise. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73112: Nice grid to start the day, along with a coffee (1 year, 7 months ago)

A year 9 @ #35749: It’s good (1 year, 7 months ago)

Myname @ #73167: Crying being a baby supply is a new one! 'mouth actions' guessed as verbs seemed too broad. Moral of the story, don't over think it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #42536: Very informative and useful puzzgrid 👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #73143: This is the 4th one I've played in a row today that didn't accept a correct answer. Surely "Bee" should be ok? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wth @ #42536: Very, very, very hard hard hard (1 year, 7 months ago)

Luke @ #42536: Quite tricky (1 year, 7 months ago)

Catie @ #73161: Bear group connection felt a bit unfair (beginnings and endings) (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #73143: I'm not up on horror movies, which spoilt an otherwise Ok grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73161: Good. Nice, varied links, though the Cockchafer group link was a bit basic, and owl was very obscure knowledge for its group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73157: I disagree about the synonyms group but a well constructed grid. Thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #73112: I went with homophones rather than Capitals, but that is a skill issue on my part x (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73155: I can never usually do your grids, but I managed 7/10 on this. Great fun. I'm really not a fan of the two films which link the group I didn't get, so have only watched them once each, both between twenty and thirty five years ago, so it's no surprise I didn't remember the character names. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72841: Group ''attack'' should accept ''hurt'' (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mickeyb12 @ #73145: should be Courteney, not Courtney. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jeannie+Smith @ #73143: Why will it not accept Bee? (1 year, 7 months ago)

MICKEYB12 @ #73151: Top grid. 5 stars (1 year, 7 months ago)

JAF @ #72994: Nice connections. Really well put together. Fairly easy to solve but still great fun. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73157: Tried it twice to be sure I’d not miss-spelled It doesn’t accept synonyms. By definition if they are synonyms no further explanation is required - they are synonyms of each other I’d suggest dropping the requirement to think of a fifth description for what they are It spoils an otherwise good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

daz @ #73157: Movie one way too vague otherwise good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73155: I’m not really a fan of single subject grids I’m not really a fan of grids that are all names I’m not really a fan of grids where I can see two of all or most of the connections and know what the connections are but not enough of them So no surprise - I’m not really a fan of this grid I am though a fan of vintage and classic films …. ( and Bialystok is a dead giveaway for just one connection ) :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #73156: Very nice! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73121: There are 70 ways to perm any 4 from 8; just saying ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kay @ #73101: Pretty nice, but there isn't a unique solution- Thorium is also an element and Neptune is also a god, which means Thor and Neptune can go in either category. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73118: Stab? Thrust was pushing it - but Stab is a bit forced ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

RIP Matt @ #73009: Rip matt (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73102: Arrest does not mean pressing charges - not by any definition - a weak connection which spoils a good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #73093: East Coast rap - who is to know that? Just "groups" (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #73112: Liked the anagram connection (1 year, 7 months ago)

Adriano @ #73085: This solution is not unique. Maiden and Rule can be swapped and still give a correct solution using categories given. (1 year, 7 months ago)

mrpuzzgrid @ #73111: this cool 👍 (1 year, 7 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73101: Really liked this one, good job. You got me the elements! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73102: Best puzzle I've played on here in a while. Lots of Red Herrings but still a logical way to solve. Thanks :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Slawdog @ #73103: Enjoyed that! Just make sure the Raccoon category accepts 'Raccoon' as well, as I believe you've spelt it 'Racoon' (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ro @ #73070: Nice (1 year, 7 months ago)

st @ #73104: I think the sitcom is spaced not space. And should accept 6 as well as six. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #73090: Nice attempt. Thanks. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tim @ #72669: This grid made me want to pour bleach in my own eyes over suffering through the disgrace that was presented, I wish to curse the pets of the creator to 7 generations of bad fortune and an eternity of repentment. Also I liked the tea category, very good overall (1 year, 7 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73088: Hey, nice connections, but didn't accept 'maths tools' or 'synonyms'...might be worth changing that :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

theATCguy @ #73077: Very enjoyable grid. Bands successfully caught me out, despite being a Supertramp fan :( . The shame clouds over me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73093: Football connection doesn't accept 'football' :/ (1 year, 7 months ago)

Soup @ #73066: Nice grid, got me thinking :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

RhythmiCon @ #73091: Nice grid. I think perhaps the film one should accept 'films' though :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73093: Easier than your usual offerings - but rated medium for me as I have no idea about who played for what teams (and rushed the Noel / Liam etc one trying to beat 45 seconds for all the grid and connections ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lucy @ #72994: Really enjoyed it. More please (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73090: Almost a good grid but one connection in particular is just too contrived and as such is its Waterloo! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nb @ #66395: Nice grid with good red herrings but head and dining can be swapped in the final solution so its not unique (1 year, 7 months ago)

andymunro73 @ #73077: Brain wash!!!? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #72994: Excellent and original! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73077: I disagree with Nighteyes - one part of a connection being a tad obscure makes things interesting - especially when it’s possible to deduce the answer. Chunk was very appropriate as it’s a Goonies red herring (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73082: Easy bit of fun :) Agreed on circle - I wouldn’t even allow geometry it’s too general (1 year, 7 months ago)

DahliaRey @ #73088: Neil, thanks… I was trying to remember what it was called at school! Geometry set! I’ll change that. Thought I’d do an easy one this time. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73088: A bit of fun and very easy BTW You only found those things in a pencil case if you’d lost the case for your Geometry Set …. Maybe amend to accept Geometry Set (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dahlia @ #73085: Football or footballers should also be allowed as an answer. Fun grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73061: Nice game. You might want to change the extra info for Chicken, Rascals, etc. You've put Chicken Little twice but didn't include the Little Prince. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #73033: Good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Myname @ #73052: First word of Prince songs... Really? (1 year, 7 months ago)

tim tom @ #73052: Lovely grid. Too hard for me, alas. Two red herrings in a single group is my only nitpick, otherwise super! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #73052: Good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #73050: I did think "Shelly" was in another category because it wasn't spelt like the poem Shelley. Also "Underwear" should be an accepted answer. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chev @ #73050: ShellEy!!!! MUG (1 year, 7 months ago)

t-star @ #73049: Nope, I mean troll. Lesser known, but hopefully fair. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #73047: T zone? F bomb? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #73040: I had the same experience. My correct answers were not accepted (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #73042: A really nice flow of red herrings. Solved it pretty quickly but it was right in my knowledge wheelhouse. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #73040: Terriers not accepted, even though that was the exact answer given! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #73014: Pedant here Bran is not a grain it is a by product of the milling process! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Puddles @ #73040: "Terriers" not accepted, "Greek letters" not accepted, "chemical elements" not accepted. Please try to broaden the list of words that are accepted as answers. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Panda @ #72629: (Fun quiz, though!) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Panda @ #72629: There is no book of Paul in the New Testament. (He wrote epistles, but none are named after him.) You might want to rethink the name for that group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #73012: @Fairy "Camping" is a RTS/FPS term for getting to a strategic point and just sitting there. It's well-known enough that, as a non-player of slightly advancing years, I was still aware of the context. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #73014: Very nice, and there was a bit of a red herring group going on (Eel, Brandy, Wheatus, Blue could all have been musicians/bands, in a pinch) And I remembered Action Jackson just fine, although in mitigation I am old. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #69803: Same probs as others. Doesn’t accept VW models or contain a vehicle (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73019: (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #73025: Should it be falls, rather than fall? And spreadsheet sounds like a decent answer to the last group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #73023: Liked it, TY (1 year, 7 months ago)

Callum Dow cheated @ #48133: Callum Dow cheated at this - he used google translate (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73028: Easy, but fun. (1 year, 7 months ago)

fi @ #73019: yay, confetti! nice grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73027: Good wall, but some groups seemed very familiar, it was a little too wordy,so I had to restart, and four red herrings for one single group was a bit much. It all made sense though and works properly as a wall (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73025: Couldn't spring band course be swapped over between the off group and the river group? That would mean there are at least two equally valid solutions. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73026: Quite good and nice group and it works properly as a wall. Some of the links/groups feel very familiar, and having at least eight things that would have fitted into one of the groups feels like overkill on the red herrings. (1 year, 7 months ago)

count-snackula @ #73019: good grid, don't know what Fairy and Neil are complaining about (1 year, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #73025: Offcourse is not a word. Neither is Offwhite. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #70523: Annoying that “Sprinters” wasn’t specific enough for the medallists! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #73014: Great grid, only a few moments of success and then spent most of the time flailing around unsuccessfully. At least I know how Jesse Marsch feels now. (1 year, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #73014: Bran isn't a grain: it's part of grain. (1 year, 7 months ago)

DP @ #73014: Only knew the dogs. Shows more about me than the puzzgrid I'm sure! All the best to the rest of my competitors x (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #73020: I really liked the opal and xxxl groups, but the mam group was a mixture of 'sounds like' and actual abbreviations, which I found unsatisfying. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gerard Mackay @ #72999: Just to let you know, I had never heard of it, but apparently Accordion is spelt with an -on just like the musical instrument. (1 year, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #72994: Very good! Solutions need to be broadened - didn't accept "directions" or "letters" (1 year, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #73010: Liked it. Took a while to get the changed names connection - didn't know about Turkey/Türkiye. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Arcadian @ #72897: Nice grid, sorting out the bears (1 year, 7 months ago)

David Rees @ #72994: Absolutely stunning grid! Very original and forced me to think of multiple things at the same time. Brilliant! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #73014: Why couldn't I see the Eel group!? Deceptive ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73016: I tend to avoid USA grid authors because of the prevalence of obscure NFL teams - as a UK grid at least these were obvious ones ! So a fun grid resulted :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lizzie @ #73010: This was fun! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #73019: Fun but very easy Racecar almost always means there’s a line of palindromes 9/10 times Charm is a quark, Dredd is a judge and Seuss a doctor…. But still fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72997: Good fun chasing them, TY (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73012: Nice wall. Just thinking on the gaming terms. I've heard of farming when collecting resources. Grinding for doing a boring activity to get points, you save a game, but not sure about camp. Would it be best to say they are terms from computer gaming? Would they all apply to maybe one genre of games? Real time strategy? Or similar? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73016: Great one. At first all you see is the zodiac. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73019: Really nice one. Simple yet pleasing. My only complaint is that I won't palindromes and didn't get the point. But that was probably a programme glitch (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #73016: Good fun. but not sure about a couple of categories. I'll let others decide. (1 year, 7 months ago)

hippopotamu @ #72994: Really enjoyed this, thank you! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #73010: I enjoyed this one. Feeling smug for finally getting them all. The capital's one took me a while to click. (1 year, 7 months ago)

DP @ #72994: Cried during most of it. Enjoyed the game however. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Florence @ #70346: Really enjoyed this! Very original and nice red herrings in there (1 year, 7 months ago)

Florence @ #70358: Personally I enjoyed being left with eight Peters and trying to figure it out! Got it after a minute. Well done. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Florence @ #70476: Really enjoyed this! Not too hard but I liked the red herrings (1 year, 7 months ago)

Juliano @ #72766: It was hard (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jack @ #72994: Nice grid. Only improvement would be allowing N, E, S, W for the points of the compass group (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wilson @ #72766: I learnt what where adjectives and first person (1 year, 7 months ago)

benj @ #72994: Spacemen 3. We must be from the same era. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72994: Different thing to think about. Enjoyable and satisfying. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72999: I would change the answer for Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy. The Magic Key was based on the Oxford reading tree books. There is also now a Biff and Chip Cbeebies programme with the same characters which some will reference (I now have the theme of that in my head. Grrr). (1 year, 7 months ago)

Stacks @ #72897: Soooooo many bears. Got there in the end though. Great grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Someone @ #57089: Having all of them have ___ before or after is pretty boring. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Someone @ #57284: Presidential middle names was a fantastic group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Someone @ #58488: I don't think this one works as a grid. Trying to smash a crossword (without any clues to whether the word you get is right) together with this style of grid is just not suitable for a 3 minute solve. I have to write down all my clues which takes time. Not to mention some of the clues are pretty frustrating and don't accurately describe their clues: (Good place to cross = ford, come on...) Extremely difficult and not well put together. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Someone @ #72922: Black Night should be Black Knight. No good red herrings either, too easy. (1 year, 7 months ago)

nitpicker @ #72994: Something different! I like it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gatusalem @ #72961: Why capitalise only one group?? That makes it even more obvious that they form a group (as if it weren't easy already). All words should start with a capital here regardless, but why capital character names and not country names which are also proper nouns (and group names too lol)?? This gave me OCD (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72989: Sport group wasn't great taking half of each clue and adding four different sets of three letters to them to make a sport doesn't really feel like a connection. I'm in (1 year, 7 months ago)

benj @ #72980: Not really that niche. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #72989: Enjoyed it but that last group (sports) was very tenuous. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mv @ #72982: Good grid, I like. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Henry @ #72986: Basil isn’t a spice. What is www.Apple? Go on, type that into the address bar of your browser and see where that takes you. Next Friday is tenuous. This whole thing was dreadful and not in keeping with the original format. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #72966: Nice and easy grid Couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #62397: Very good grid, the backward word group foiled me - clever idea (1 year, 7 months ago)

Katrina @ #72979: Jenni+D, thanks - all four actually! Iris is the Greek goddess of the rainbow as well. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72984: A nice and satisfying grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Toferino @ #72897: Good but let down by the body parts / face category. It's been done to death on here. Big yawn for that one I'm afraid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #72979: Love that Iris could be in 3 of the groups! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72978: Could do with a few red herrings. Also not sure abbreviations is really specific enough. It's a bit of a loose group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72980: Nice one. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JEREMY @ #72897: Best grid I've done, loved that pizza and pineapple were in the same category! Haha. Top work! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Katrina @ #72979: For Iris (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #72959: Bog is also a loo (which is what I put) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dompling @ #72941: Incorrect, they are ALL cultures. Yes three are also nationalities. But Jewish is not just a religion but also a culture like the others. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dom @ #72965: Really great grid, having pan and hook in the captain category was a bit cruel (1 year, 7 months ago)

Otis @ #72967: (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72962: Wel, that's a weird one. Very easy to solve, in thirty seconds. Three completely obvious and simple groups, and one jumble of conspiracy theories, with one 'clue' I find incomprehensible, even after googling. How was Neil Armstrong ever a scapegoat, and what was he deliberately placed at the scene of? (1 year, 7 months ago)

James Gibson @ #72959: good, but completed whilst drunk (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #72486: I would have profited by being part of a team (1 year, 7 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #72945: I like UK grids in the hope that I will avoid the US sports teams groups, which I recognise but can’t remember which sport they represent. I’ll give myself a point for US sports teams. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Anthony Adams @ #72507: I played about a dozen of these. I like this one best. The specialized knowledge was all something any quizzer could be expected to know. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #72937: I went with singers surnames. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72954: Maybe come up with a better connection than “members of CSN&Y” since the four names are listed in the grid group - how about “members of the eponymous supergroup”. ? Otherwise quite a good easy grid :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72953: MCs & X-files just nowhere near my sphere of knowledge. Not that up on House Martin's either... (1 year, 7 months ago)

Indiscreet @ #72960: One of the categories can be completed correctly in numerous different ways detracts from it a bit (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #72959: Decent grid fairly straightforward (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72961: To add a bit of a challenge to this one I would leave out "boys" in the band names and "white" from Walter White. That was a giveaway for me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike208 @ #72945: Good grid. Shame the 3D shapes stood out as the words with changed letters seemed unusual (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72960: Nice one (1 year, 7 months ago)

MereNovice @ #72915: @Richard Assuming you mean the Bidet group, I'd guess that he's included US as an acceptable answer. Sometimes it's difficult for the setters to provide a list of acceptable keywords that don't allow additional answers. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Florence @ #71030: So pleased to see Henderson's up there :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #72952: Great wall (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72955: No. Just simply no. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #72944: Enjoyed this grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Finn @ #72936: Nice grid....maybe just work on your definitions? Long legged wading birds is quite specific (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72941: Didn't really like the Greek, Jewish, Ukranian, Armenian ''group'' as three are nationalities and one a faith so the group didn't really work the explaination was too convoluted for me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Superdolly @ #72943: Novel approach I only got BOTW ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72944: Great ideas and solvable in spite of a swappable pair of answers. I'm pretty sure Breton could swap over with Welsh, but I had a lucky guess with the Breton group combination. Also, very well done including 'indian ocean' in your link for the Christmas group, otherwise Christmas and Rock would have been interchangeable. Again, I only sorted those two groups from each other by a lucky guess. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72942: It all works and I can't see any swappable clues,but it feels unsatisfying. Three word play groups, and the Roger group items , except for Roger, are too obscure. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72939: Spoilers. The clues/links don't all work. For example, in the 'all contain meaty goods' group, of Frankfurt, Brussels, Hamburg, and Liverpool, only two contain meat HAMburg and LIVERpool, while three have meaty foods named after them, but require extra letters or a word to make the rest of the food Hamburger, Frankfurter, and Brussels Pate. It's not actually a group. If Chelsea had been in instead of Liverpool, that at least could have been an 'all have foods named after them' group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72937: Congratulations on using Rishi as something other than an anagram of Irish :) I’m not sure I’d agree with the musician classification (and I’ve worked for three of the four) - It’s a bit narrow and doesn’t really fit them all. I’d say BI was punk rock and then main stream. Elvis Costello was associated by others with NW - but was really pub rock and Punk . (Stiff stable) I guess NW isn’t strictly wrong but it feels wrong to me :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72938: A nice if very easy way to start the day :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Angie @ #72918: If I’m being picky, the correct NATO spellings are Juliett and Whiskey. Enjoyed the grid but was a bit thrown by tennis. Assumed it was an obscure type of patience. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72918: Nice grid Tennis is a clever obscure one for that group - could have been a great red herring if it had fitted anywhere else . (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72921: Almost a good grid - let down by the requirement for the assumption that an Ex is automatically two faced. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Averdian @ #37982: Really good. Love walls like this one without any country-specific cultural references that make it impossible for people from smaller non-English speaking countries. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #72894: Amended (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72918: Confusing that you have spelt Caesar incorrectly. Doesn't help identify it in the salad group other than by elimination. (1 year, 7 months ago)

tiger king @ #72893: Nice Easy Grid! This looks like you just started making grids. Remember that all clues should be capitalized. Keep making grids (1 year, 7 months ago)

tiger king @ #72918: I liked everything but Tennis. I felt like it didn't really go in that group, because it is more of a sport than the others. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #72878: The ba group is too loose. Add drink to get things in the same category would have been ok. Or adding the same thing to each would have been ok. Or at least consistently making single new words. But this was so inconsistent that spotting the connection was just impossible. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Guy @ #72888: I think not accepting "author" instead of "novelist" was a bit harsh - great grid though! (1 year, 7 months ago)

John @ #72888: Good grid. Would have had confetti if publishing companies and British PMs had been accepted. Oh well. Thx for the grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #62154: Nice. Top Gear group got me though :-) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Meh @ #61959: Thanks. I corrected Showbusiness, but Margerine had to be misspelled to fit the link - that was an extra clue! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #62228: German, English, Italian - could all be used in the school subject group, and French could be in the Languages/Nationalities group (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sarah May Henningham @ #72874: Nice quiz :) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Them! @ #72840: Dentists lob amalgam- it’ll hit me later but who’s the US president here? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #72830: Lima beans aren't a thing in the UK. They're butter beans here. And the stoned one was a bit regional too (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ellie @ #72445: Quire is the correct spelling. It is the area used by the choir (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72840: Good ideas but not much fun because it was so cluttered and wordy. All the same type of hidden word clue, and far too much to read and remember. Spotted all the links really early on but had to restart, because by the time I'd found all four or five that fitted each link, I'd forgotten one or two. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72838: Fab ideas, but not a valid grid. Rooster and Rose can swap with each other - both equally 'associated with red' and both emblems on six nations rugby badges, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #72830: Peculiar stuff in here like Grad school and adjectives for "stoned" which I don't care for, and frankly I don't think should be included in a puzzle like this - just in poor taste. (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #72838: Some very different connections which made the grid challenging and fun to solve (1 year, 7 months ago)

POOKMAN6+ @ #72840: Brilliant. Love grids like this (1 year, 7 months ago)

SATAN-2 @ #72774: should have got a point for spelling "whisky" (no e) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72830: Nice and straightforward. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72837: Some half decent ideas, but not really thought through, so it doesn't really work as a wall/grid with only one valid solution. Zebra can swap to the grass group taking the place of either spear or blue, as both are also types of fish. The 'police' group is hugely vague, so blue could swap with copper, as that's also a kind of grass. Bill could move to the fish group, moving Zebra to the grass group and blue could then take Bill's place in the police group. I still solved it in forty seconds, but only because the group links leapt out atme and I made two lucky guesses early on, which left me with two groups that had only one pair of swappable answers.

Terry Dactyl @ #72835: A nice range of connections! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nick Parker @ #72836: @Paul. Maybe it's just a UK thing. Over the last 40 odd years there have been signs in swimming pools telling you what you are not allowed to do. Petting is one of them and it means you are not allowed to be amorous with another person. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #72836: I have no idea what it means to pet in a pool???? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70025: Caspar and Balthazar aren't mentioned in the Gospels. The Magi are mentioned in only one gospel- they aren't named and there's not a specified number of them. The western church tradition of three and the names came later. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Alex Knight @ #72034: Good amount of red herrings! Really liked this one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72831: Well constructed, nice and straightforward. My only complaint would be that all the groups had the same kind of connection - all word puzzles rather than general knowledge. (1 year, 7 months ago)

UStralian @ #72676: Yeah, restaurant is a little generous, but it's the category they'd put themselves in. I'll change it to "fast food/beverage chains" for accuracy. Starbuck is important as a red herring though. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #47: Lovely and easy to solve in 28 seconds, but the US state abbreviations could have been anything - for example, all could be turned into words by following with le - male vale pale gale -though that would have left Ni and Ga as swappable. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72783: Too niche for me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Calum @ #72771: if you type demic for "hyperen, en, pan, epi" it tells you you're wrong, idk might want to put that in the correct mark box (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72765: @Dumb Dane. Thanks, I'll correct that. Don't know how I just signed in as Malcontent. I think the last time I commented on here I was replying to them. (1 year, 7 months ago)

hans @ #72750: Good one. Nice mix of categories (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72765: @Dumb Dane thanks. I'll correct that. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kayla @ #72743: Also agree with others. I put Catholic clergy role usually occupied by a paedophile and it wasn't accepted. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #72743: Good grid but need to expand definition for catholic clergy. I put religious ministers and it didn't accept it (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dumb Dane @ #72765: Worth noting that Bali is not a country (1 year, 7 months ago)

Lizzie @ #72755: Enjoyed this one! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59243: The owl group was the only one I solved. Never heard of Pink & Cog for their group, or Jip & Manchee for theirs,so I was pretty lost. Thought of three links before it resolved, and got all four afterwards. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Arcadian @ #72761: Jeez. Not half obscure enough. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #72743: Very fun grid. Might be a good idea to expland what's accepted for the clergy category - i put 'religious offices' and got an X (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72761: Lovely grid. Nice and straightforward, with no obscure knowledge needed (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dom @ #72761: The animal noises one I answered onomatopoeia :( (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nick Parker @ #72755: @Andrew, ah sorry! It’s my first time making one and I wasn’t sure how that worked. I thought you got the points just with the answer ‘synonyms’. I’ve hopefully added enough info now. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Joni @ #72740: Just got there. Great grid. Thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nof @ #72743: Should accept ordained ministers, otherwise nice easy grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #72741: Great grid, nice balance of red herrings, excellent (1 year, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #72753: Very good! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #15868: Enjoyable (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #72664: Your cities also have famous rugby teams, so should accept rugby (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72358: Fiendish indeed. Not sure how many people would get the cell category. You have to be on your game to get the other 3. I wasn't. But not unfair by any means (1 year, 7 months ago)

IainT @ #72740: Tantalisingly close - good challenge. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #58641: Good. I nearly didn't get the Mrs Brisby group, because her name's Mrs Frisby in the book, so I thought it was a red herring, but then I realised they changed her name for the film. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72734: nighttime, thanks for the feedback. I guess it's always tough to figure out where your own knowledge isn't common. In truth, I had considered replacing backhand with something else because it was too easy. I am guessing someone in Minnesota etc. would find this far easier than someone in, say, Alabama. Without a spoiler, can you give me a word from a category that you think is too niche? (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #72734: ExRanger, I'll admit that Urinate was not my, er, #1 choice. Got a suitable replacement? (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #72629: A program to solve a wall!! And it's wrong - Leia and Lisa are apparently names with 5 letters! (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #72590: b is wrong again. Not knowing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist! And paper isn't a material or fabric, but all are hankies and anniversaries. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Antny @ #72739: Nice grid, thank you (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ant @ #72736: Not a bad grid, but I feel some of the Dad's army actors were a little too obscure. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #72730: Very nice - 5 stars! (Even though I hate connection that involve 3 of one and one of another - change first letter, change first letter, change first letter ... change random letter elsewhere in word. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72737: Good grid - solved in good time, but I couldn't get the link for my third group. I got cities, but my geographical knowledge ended there. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72741: Nicely thought through grid. Nothing too niche/obscure, a few red herrings to keep it interesting, and no answers that could be directly swapped over. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mal @ #72716: Really fun grid, thanks for sharing! And yes, its called a right triangle in US English. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sam @ #72737: Thought this one was ace. Caught out by the final category - a good challenge. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jason S @ #72736: Tough but fun - I fell into the doctors trap and spent too long trying to find the missing one! (1 year, 7 months ago)

ExRanger @ #72734: Uri, Nate ? (1 year, 7 months ago)

nighttime @ #72734: Excellent grid but very niche knowledge, certainly defeated me :( To be honest I think this is more than medium difficulty for most people. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Heather @ #72369: Suggest accepting "astronomical body" (1 year, 7 months ago)

Heather @ #72716: Excellent red herrings! Loved it when I found the fish parts. And I'm Canadian so we're halfway in between American and British in our language usage hehe and we definitely can say "right triangle" here! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Heather @ #72717: Recall is adding -call to a word, whereas phone call is 2 separate words. These really shouldn't be combined into one category. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Heather @ #72721: Never heard of a "Kite mark", or a "German market". The overall "mark/market" theme is cute, but some of the details in the solutions are a bit forced IMO. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72716: Never heard of Right angle triangles being called right triangles until googling this just now,so it's either a term that was coined after I left school, or an Americanism. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #72722: EnjoyEd this grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Calum @ #57877: This quiz was great loved it (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #72718: @Rob - yes, but then Ure and Tay coudl be swapped, so needed to be something else. I only guessed the group as it looked like a letter coudl be added. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #72718: The bands group could also be add S to form a new word - sand, sure, slash, sinks (1 year, 7 months ago)

Han @ #72712: Great Wall! Love the Simpson episodes and game locations - although I think it’s spelled Kamurocho! (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #72690: A good grid, thank you, unlike some of the others today (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72710: Please correct Switzerland to Switzerland. I was off searching for hidden Marvel characters. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #58136: Failing to get 10/10 on this is a small price, and one more than worth paying, for complete blissful ignorance about Bruno Mars. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #72700: Nice groups! Very fun. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72023: Would have been quite good, but made a little too challenging because it's basically wrong. There are only three terms in the academic year at Oxford - Michaelmas, Hilary and Trinity. Cambridge has three terms Michaelmas, Lent and Easter. Neither one has a 'summer' term. If Trinity or Easter had been in the group, you could have got away with 'Oxbridge' or ''Oxford and Cambridge'. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70658: Very good, and solvable in just over two minutes, but there are several equally valid solutions, as Churchill could swap into the PM's group, with May, Wilson or Baldwin (though he was fictional) swapping into the famous Michaels group, and Crawford moving to take Churchill's place in the Landscape features group. The easiest way to make it work like a proper wall would be to change Crawford for something else. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72706: Good, but could have included confectionery, d'oyly carte /musical comedy, and game for three group links. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72506: Very good. No idea why I couldn't get the hopes and ball links (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72703: Good grid, great red herrings. Out of the eyes group, the only one I'd heard of was eyes, so had no hope at all with that one (1 year, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #72703: Excellent grid, with many layers....Nice one. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #72690: Good grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #72688: Spelling mistake changed-thank you. The Titfield Thunderbolt is a steam train, so you could say it’s steamy rather than saucy! For passport to Pimlico- I don’t consider myself as old and know what it is, so not sure what else to comment other than it’s an old comedy film. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wavydot @ #70500: British invasions? I think not. Disgraceful description. Or ignorant. (1 year, 7 months ago)

gridlington @ #72676: I think "restaurant" is pushing it a bit, especially for Starbucks! And Dominos is mainly take-away... Maybe change Starbuck to MacDonald and class them as fast food brands? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #72023: Terms at Oxford is wrong. Terms at British Universities is possibly correct. Michaelmas, Hillary, Trinity at Oxford and Michaelmas, Lent, Easter at Cambridge, don’t include’Summer’ (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #72637: Very enjoyable (1 year, 7 months ago)

sib @ #72669: My response was laundry detergents but this was incorrect as it should have been washing up powders! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #72674: very fun - knew the categories but couldn't untangle the trains and golden boot winners at the end (1 year, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #72678: No problem with quizzes being hard, but this was very poor. Enjoyed the shipping forecast homophones, but the wedding rhyme is basically impossible. It is like in cryptic crosswords - you should never have a substitution and an anagram there, it can only be solved by the setter. The chirality clue also doesn't hold together (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #72667: all contain number numeric is a weird description?? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #72674: Brutal. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Daxw @ #72519: So, how do Americans say 'finale'? (1 year, 7 months ago)

YoumaycallmeV @ #65335: Turkey slices are processed but that's not what you put in the grid. Most people would understand turkey to mean a whole bird, which isn't processed. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nagging Hag @ #72643: Phobias are a bit unspecific - there are so many rather odd ones, like "Pachydermophobia" (Fear of elefants) or there's possibly even "tentphobia" (but that might not be a recognized phobia, but simply a specific case of claustrophobia). In any case - almost everything in the 'circus' group can bin switched with almost anything in the 'phobia' group. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72667: Good ideas, but I disagree with Puzzgrid being in the word games group - there have been purely numerical grids, and quite a few picture grids on here. Also, crossword could swap over with Scrabble, boggle or hangman, so there are several equally valid solutions to the grid, which isn't really how the grids are meant to work. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #72660: Enjoyable! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Trix @ #72667: Paul yes its a crossover. (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #61602: The clever name anagram to solo is cute but misleading, 'solo' can be many things. I respect that you're spicing it up but staring at 16 words for 3 mins is rough. Maybe have one group that's Norwegian cities and not have homophones so then at least I stood a chance 😆 hah. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Puddles @ #72652: Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is pretty obscure if you haven't been there. These are not exactly famous s works. Otherwise, nice grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Here are the four categories I have identified: Actors who played iconic characters in movies: Mark (Mark Hamill played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars) Heath (Heath Ledger played the Joker in The Dark Knight) Male given names with four letters: Jack Paul John Biblical names: David Jude Anakin (Anakin Skywalker is named after the biblical figure Anakin) Female given names with five letters: Leia Lisa James (can be a male or female name, but also fits with this category) So, the final grouping is: Actors who played iconic characters in movies: Mark Heath Male given names with four letters: Jack Paul John Biblical names: David Jude Anakin Female given names with five letters: Leia Lisa James (1 year, 7 months ago)

JustRetired @ #71517: My brain hurts. I had to back up and re-start a couple of times. A perfect score in the allotted time for this one would be genius level. There are so many levels of abstraction here. Nicely done (1 year, 7 months ago)

Took me so long to work out it was about decades then I was singing in my head songs that were in movies and which yeah they came out (looking at you "Power of Love") but not being old enough it fell down because of not knowing the original releases (looking at you "I'm a believer") (1 year, 7 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #72540: V good, fell for your lures. TY (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kristin @ #72519: American here. I don't love the pronunciation group. Z definitely fits. As for buoy and tomato, there isn't a huge difference in sound. Some Americans say something close to "boy" and "tomaaahto." Agree with Bee on the spelling for jewelry/jewellery. Clever and unusual grid. I enjoyed it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

sic! @ #72490: Varied and fresh! Clear explanations. (1 year, 7 months ago)

David @ #70279: It's synonyms for a wood not wood. Wouldn't accept a group of trees. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72517: Great ideas, really tricky, but Lola and Ruby can swap over, so that there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Root4me @ #72504: well, I got 2/4 groups initially and 4/4 after 3 minute reveal. Was fine by myself! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gellycat @ #72506: Please change to accept languages as well as nationalities as that works too, otherwise very good. (1 year, 7 months ago)

IanB @ #72519: Slightly picky, maybe, but 'program' is accepted UK spelling when referring to software. Hence, 'Did you see that TV programme about the computer program?' (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gatusalem @ #72519: Clever (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bee @ #72519: Jewellery is the correct spelling in the UK (1 year, 7 months ago)

Margaret Thatcher @ #71744: 1989 Tiananmen Square never happened and you cant prove that it did (1 year, 7 months ago)

🥶 @ #71744: One fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish, Black fish, Blue fish, Old fish, New fish. This one has a little car. This one has a little star. Say! What a lot of fish there are. Yes. Some are red, and some are blue. Some are old and some are new. Some are sad, and some are glad, And some are very, very bad. Why are they sad and glad and bad? I do not know, go ask your dad.

Where do they come from? I can't say. But I bet they have come a long, long way. we see them come, we see them go. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some are high. Some are low.

Clue_Sure @ #72458: Fun grid, but maybe you could accept "vehicles" for the transport group? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #71096: Not a clue - nothing here within my sphere of knowledge! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #71099: The Morecambe red herring would work better if it was spelt correctly (Morecambe) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72455: Agree with David/Sid, bit too much of a loose connection. Mind you, given I had no clue on the 'Hey' group, it wouldn't have helped. (1 year, 7 months ago)

HMK74 @ #72472: Thanks Mike, hadn't noticed the typo, now fixed. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72472: Perhaps correct the misspelling of helicopter. I spent some time wondering if this was relevant. (1 year, 7 months ago)

X @ #72455: There are two red herrings which contextually make the group in question make more sense (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72458: Fun grid with good group overlaps - easy but sometimes it’s nice to do an easy traditional grid to remind you you can ! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72451: @ sib. Washing soda is the same thing as soda crystals, I think. I've used it. Google it. Uber isn't the only taxi app, and that group was the second one I spotted/sorted. (1 year, 7 months ago)

mal @ #72458: Very easy but nothing wrong with it as such (1 year, 7 months ago)

Billy @ #72459: Needs work (1 year, 7 months ago)

fuck you harriet @ #72432: this grid sucks (1 year, 7 months ago)

Zbj @ #72448: Nice one. Didn't know a cup hook either but you if you know everything there's no challenge 😉 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72440: Good, but the franchises are called Nando's and Franzos. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72442: Clever, but just too many different joining words to work out,remember and link in the time, especially with a couple of clues where I couldn't choose where the missing word went in, and ared herring or two in there as well. Easy to see all the links once it resolved, but I only sorted one group in the three minutes. Too frustrating to be really enjoyable. (1 year, 7 months ago)

b @ #72418: It didn't spoil my fun, but the other person is right : "straight" doesn't really fit with your other whisky clues. Pity, because good grid really. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72427: Sorry,autocorrect corrected my pointing out the misspelling of Duchess as Dutchess. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72427: Great ideas, but needs editing.Mad Hatter and Tweedledee can be swapped with each other, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid Also, you spelled Duchess incorrectly, as Duchess, which isn't the name of an Alice in Wonderland character, and I wasted time looking for hidden nationalities. (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #72346: Pretty easy but still fin (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chorizo @ #72413: Enjoyable! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72385: Nice grid. Fairly straightforward, and no ridiculously obscure knowledge required. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #72385: Lovely. Thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72404: Good ideas but there are a few mistakes that mean the grid doesn't work. The phrase is 'Mother of Parliaments' not 'Mother of Parliament', there's no variety of apple just called 'Green'. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72380: Good ideas, but C and I could swap over and D and V could be swapped, so there are at least four equally valid solutions to the grid, using the group links you've got. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72413: Nice grid - clever multiple overlaps of groups without overdoing it (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72382: Nice ideas, but the Dora group was fairly obvious and Luxon group seemed scraped together. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72329: Interest ideas (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72327: Nice and simple, but there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Light and Fly can be swapped over between the boxing weight group and the white group. There may be other direct swaps too, but that was the one I noticed straight away (1 year, 7 months ago)

napawo @ #72301: Easy but fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #72315: Good fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

Greg @ #72295: Not the best. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JEREMY @ #71557: Some nice links, but Hughs and Hughes are not the same and the groups aren't tight enough when the name can be added at the beginning or the end. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Garbo @ #72267: Quite easy if you're fluent in Spanish (1 year, 7 months ago)

Garbo @ #72305: This was... weird. Why are all except one group capitalized? Plus, Affleck and Cavill are both spelt wrong which made me think there was a group of purposely misspelt surnames of actors... but no. Sloppy grid. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chin 02 @ #72304: Great grid. Please do more! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72301: Nice wall, could do with a few more red herrings... if that's possible? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72304: Never heard of pizza pilgrims or pizza planet! (1 year, 7 months ago)

dave @ #72224: shouldn't be all in capitals, really annoying (1 year, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #72093: Thought the animal connection was they were all native to Australia, but I guess marsupial is better lol. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Adriano @ #72221: This grid has more than one possible correct solution. Tina (Turner) and Joan (Rivers) can be switched, for example. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Fairy @ #72197: Very challenging. I have to say the politics one may have been a bit tenuous. I'm familiar with all 4, but would never have thought of that connection. There are about 10 with double barrelled names in the HoC at the moment. (1 year, 7 months ago)

HMK74 @ #72209: Enjoyed that, thanks! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #72139: Great idea- took me a second and didn't quite make it in time. Gamekeeper feels inconsistent to miss out all the e's as one pair isn't consecutive? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mememe Lycett Fake @ #72194: Doubled up same grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72187: Enjoyed the grid - nice connections and red herring overlaps - but let myself be distracted by the wrong spelling of Commodore (1 year, 7 months ago)

zbj @ #72188: nice one! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #72170: Nice idea, but the "other than" group was a bit unfair (and doesnt really stand alone as a category). (1 year, 7 months ago)

Chemmy @ #72148: Very pleasing, thank you. (1 year, 7 months ago)

sasha @ #72190: good puzzle! I do think "mixed drink" should be accepted as well as cocktail! (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #72169: Dovecote is one word, so it's not a cote. And it more closely rhymes with cut than coat. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #72155: Very enjoyable (1 year, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #72166: Very nearly a good grid But University Societies? Maybe at some Uni’s - Maybe at the one you went to - but definitely not universally - there are societies for all sorts of things at Unis - the connection might as well have been “they are all words” (1 year, 7 months ago)

Nb @ #65309: Some of the definitions are pretty loose making it quite challenging, still fun. Disinterested goes a step too far, though. It means without a vested interest. The word you want is uninterested. (1 year, 7 months ago)

HMK74 @ #72167: Great grid, enjoyed that! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #71397: Nice! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72132: Not good (1 year, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #72132: Nice super simple grid, except that there are at least two equally valid solutions. Tomorrow Never Dies & The World is Not Enough are both Bond films and both films starring Pierce Brosnan one can't go in the Bond group and the other in the Brosnan group, or they're completely interchangeable, which isn't how the grid's are meant to work (1 year, 7 months ago)

PUZZLUVR @ #72067: Your grid made me want to punch my own face, it hurt to read your poorly constructed clues, I do not know if you are mentally disturbed or a poor simpleton wondering through life trying to find meaning, either way I would wish an army of locusts upon you to tear flesh from bones and leave you as a hollow shell of your prior existence. I hope one day you must face a trial of fire through your desecration of the great Puzzgrid games. Cards was a good one though 4 stars overall (1 year, 7 months ago)

PUZZLUVR @ #72057: Uncommon colours was a bad clue, Crimson is the most common colour in my life, and it will be joined by your blood for costing me the full points when i reign down with the fury of a thousand sons on your family (1 year, 7 months ago)

Website Is Ugly @ #1: Brilliant grid! I missed the Conservative group, but it just didn't dawn on me. (1 year, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #72009: Depends on your accent. In my region Awed and Odd are generally homophones, while Route and Root are not. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #72051: Not quite a unique solution as Phil Collins is both a Muppet and a drummer so could swap with Animal. We all have our opinions :-) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mystery man @ #37872: This was a very nice grid, SonJonath. I hope you are doing well. I'm not going to give you my number, though. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Puddles @ #72051: Nice grid! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Kristin @ #72045: Really needed a broad range of knowledge (I didn't know the germs group), but nice grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #72023: Stephen toyshop - a fish ladder is built into a weir on a river, so that fish- mostly salmon and trout, can reach the upper areas of the river to spawn! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Bondaru @ #71066: I just tried my own puzzle after a few weeks, and it was quite difficult (I don't design them for a timer) (1 year, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #61208: Great idea, good grid (1 year, 7 months ago)

Loin+El+Richie @ #72045: Top notch (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hal @ #71870: I think your grid is a little broken (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #72035: It's mussel! (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #72029: Nia is a fairly common Welsh name. But Lea would usually be Lee, Leigh, or Leah - first usually boys, last pronounced lee-a. Should summerslam etc be pay per view? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Hal @ #72030: That group is inappropriate unless you're referring to the former rugby league footballer, professional rugby union coach, the American visual artist and of course one half of the White Stripes duo... (1 year, 7 months ago)

H @ #72009: Awed sounds nothing like odd! And the g in lasagne isn't strictly silent - it modifies the n. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Daniel A Solis @ #71997: Great grid! Just my style. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Val @ #72008: Wikipedia says dice can be both plural and singular :( sorry about that. The bowl is actually rice 🍚 For over it's overhead, oversee, overhear and overcoat. I've had this idea for an emoji wall but unfortunately it might only work in my head 😃 my husband didn't solve it either. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Micharn @ #71997: Well done Hippopotamu! Another successful grid. 😃 (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72025: Not remotely on my wavelength, didn't have a clue! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #72023: What’s a fish ladder? (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72020: Would have scored this higher if it wasn't was for Lagos error. Abuja is now the capital of Nigeria. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #72012: Fun (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72015: Liked this one. Didn't see the final connection until I had to name it. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #72023: Good but very tough. (1 year, 7 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72014: Nice wall, although I didn't get the Still Game connection as I have no idea what Still Game is! (1 year, 7 months ago)

Cybersurfer69 @ #66809: worst one yet (1 year, 7 months ago)

quizzer @ #72020: Lagos hasn't been a capital for 30 years (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #72020: Why did it not accept "capital cities" as an answer? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tyler @ #72012: Should probably allow it to accept "Clue" as well as "Cluedo" when setting a puzzle. Otherwise, lovely grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Shane @ #72016: Simply ridiculous (1 year, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #65235: Ear piercings? I will take your word for it. When giving shell as an answer for the ... erm ... shells, I was surprised to find it was not deemed correct. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tania @ #72006: 2 of them completely defeated me. I don’t share the setter’s cultural references unfortunately (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #35352: Fairly easy, but a nice wall (1 year, 8 months ago)

Loin+El+Richie @ #71998: Memorising the shipping forecast areas was so worthwhile I'm glad I did it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72008: Nice idea but doesn't really work. In the 'ice' group I get slice and mice, but there is only one die, not two or more dice and is the bowl a bowl of ice? In the 'over' group are you saying overear or something else? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #72000: Complete guess for the last two groups, so no surprise I didn't get the connection. Perhaps should have known the Jeeps but never seen 'Cars' (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #71999: Apart from the bones group, mostly well outside my sphere of knowledge. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #71976: I agree that this was fun but a bit too easy for a medium (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #71989: Very fun! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Emily @ #71914: Good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71941: Isn't the Old Testament book 'Song of Songs' or 'Song of Solomon', rather than just 'Song'? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71994: Well put together. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71976: Very easy, but fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #71973: I enjoyed the challenge! One tiny complaint: I didn't like the flying-tone clue, especially the tone part. I would have preferred a true pair such as blank Ventura, blank Frehley, or hardware (a common store in the US. Thanks for the grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #71994: I liked the cosmic crisp group. Wish that gems would have been accepted for the diamond group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

troemyd @ #71984: Ditto prince comment, but also I don't think all those words are strictly onamatapoeia - for instance, 'Ahh' is just the written interpretation of the sound, not quite the same. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #71989: Really nice. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Micharn @ #71950: Loved this one. Thanks! (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #71931: Not bad, though I might quibble with a couple of the connections. Real Madrid etc. are all football clubs, even without the Mourinho link, and Jam etc are all music groups without the food link. Just a quibble though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #71933: Excellent. Smashing red herrings kept me flummoxed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Elbe @ #71905: Nice theme :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71929: Very good grid, but perhaps too clever at one point. Country should be an acceptable answer for the line with four countries in it. No reason to require a complicated connection when a simple one also exists. (1 year, 8 months ago)

offmessage @ #71909: @malcontent Hmm.. Good point - there are better examples... I have updated it to make the link clearer (first attempt, be kind!) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71909: Good, but one link term was very obscure and impossibly over specific, when towns or cities was enough to differentiate all of them from the other groups (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #71865: Loved the Atticus line (and very pleased that I cracked it). It doesn't accept "trades" as solution for the jobs line tho. (1 year, 8 months ago)

N @ #33801: Really nice concept - a couple of minor issues: "Number of letters" was not accepted. Roman numerals - two Ds in the clue is misleading. Prime factorisation should be 3x3x7 for 63. Apart from that, very enjoyable! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #71855: London as a female name? Got the group, but that one has obviously passed me by. (1 year, 8 months ago)

flip @ #71853: Fun but not a perfect grid. Ford and Trump are interchangeable, so there are at least two solutions. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Saint John Smythe @ #51703: Enjoyed the grid, but the Hurricane is not a Jet, it’s a propellor aircraft. The Falcon is more commonly associated with the Business Jet of that name. “Aircraft” is the correct solution. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #71853: Wow, how many presidents?! At first glance, impossible to solve with that many, almost gave up without even trying but then started spotting some connections.... and realised that actually this is a very clever grid, intended to mislead and divert, yet solvable. Challenging in all the right ways! Well done. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #71852: Tough grid to solve! I got all the categories and lots of crossovers. Nice job. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #71848: Didn't spot the palindromes, which is annoying as there's plenty of those on this site. I went for anagrams instead, which wasn't accepted. I put it to you that a palendrome IS an anagram... ok, arguably a very specific subset, but still an anagram. But then technically every word is an anagram.... discuss. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #71849: Umbrella insurance? Had to Google that one. Didn't solve the wall but got all the categories. Nice grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #71846: Clever grid! Quite original, which can be a bit of a rarity after almost 80,000 submissions. Liked the soft drinks category, though there are too many of them to cycle through, it was easy to eliminate them by solving the other categories. One thing, I struggled to describe one or two of the categories in a way that would be accepted as an answer. 'Language', for example, not accepted but I know what I meant. Similarly for folklore, I went for 'mythical'. Not that I'm bothered by the lack of points awarded. I knew what I meant, and I know I meant what you meant you meant. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #71855: I found all the categories, and I like that you had a common overall theme running through, but I wouldn't say that overall theme is immediately obvious.... don't meet many Boudicas or Cleopatras these days, and Paris doesn't immediately jump out in the context of the theme. Very nice idea, though. Could do with a little refinement but it holds up. (1 year, 8 months ago)

JEREMY @ #71690: I agree with Neil too. Nice concept, but need more variety. I managed it, but only by logically cycling through the Shanghais and states. Could have included other options (key to the door or blackjack for 21), but it was a nice idea. (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71784: A good tip is to capitalize the first word in every rectangle. Otherwise it is fairly easy to just throw the lower case-options together in one group. Example: It is perfectly fine to have "Many" with capital M in a 'things that can follow Ger'-group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #71663: With the capital letter, it's hard to tell that the first letter of ivia is an i, not an l. Overall, a fun grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #71690: A tricky grid to rate The connections were all obvious but without a knowledge of US state numbers and whatever Shanghai refers to the grid is impossible . Requiring the same specialist knowledge for all the connections rather dulls the grid with only 21 being possible by illumination What’s more as a HHGTG fan since its first radio broadcast - I feel compelled to pedantry. The Meaning Of Life is a Monty Python film and has nothing to do with Hitchhikers’. 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything. It is not the meaning of life !! (Ok I still knew you meant 42 - but still ) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71697: Tough, without specific knowledge. I guessed the groups but not the explanations. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71648: Nice, quick solve. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71605: Nice and simple, once I got past the off-putting jumble of letters. Logical groups easy to understand. Managed it with more than half the time left, which surprised me, as I nearly gave up as soon as I saw it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71688: Nice and straightforward for me, except the Moore group, which I managed to guess. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Billy @ #71689: Good fun 😊 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #71648: v.g. (1 year, 8 months ago)

AeonMch @ #71617: Good except WTF is “rusted root”? (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71687: Good concept, great execution. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #71684: Agree with Malcontent. Also, for the animals group, Boxes would be better than Foxes if Ox is what you're hiding. (1 year, 8 months ago)

ads @ #71687: good grid with nice idea... maybe could have used some more obscure artists to make it a bit more difficult. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Angie @ #71681: Very enjoyable. Dot ball in cricket is where there is no run. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71684: Turkey isn't a great fit for that group. It's literally the same word. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Peamama @ #71680: Enjoyed this one TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #71647: Nice! It didn't accept alcohol though :( (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wilfy @ #71667: The witches (1 year, 8 months ago)

Peamama @ #71685: Liked it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71671: Please accept 'fun' as a compliment, however function was not accepted as an answer. Keep submitting and I will be kind and rewind for future grids. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71653: Nice and straightforward except Phineas. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71681: Not too hard. Solved in less than two minutes. Never heard of Dot meaning nothing, but not difficult to guess around it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71632: Thanks William for replying. I will take the point, but I also take your point. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

EJ @ #71682: Oh how I loved these children's programmes! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71677: Never heard of circling a parking space or squaring a ball, and I thought the point of the saying was that you CAN'T square a circle. Great ideas though. Satisfying to solve even though I couldn't make sense of all the links. (1 year, 8 months ago)

EJ @ #71681: Tricky! Thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike @ #71599: Nice grid with some clever red herrings but serious flaws. Scream and scoring don't work in their sets (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71661: @Baz I've never heard the word 'pall' pronounced any other way than to rhyme with 'Paul', except in the placename 'Pall Mall'.The languages group was the second group I identified,so being two languages didn't put me at a disadvantage. (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #71617: Good fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

Corky @ #71667: Quite a few issues with this one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #71662: Nice grid didn't get the runners lots of groaning when connection revealed (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71632: I don't think head matches F..., unless you'd want 98% of people, that never had to play reverb on a guitar, to have no chance of making the association. I'd be happy to update the grid though, but I have (once again) not received the edit-mail. Do give yourself a point. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #71663: Good grid. South american country one kinda dumb. Have a nice day. (1 year, 8 months ago)

The Crow @ #71655: Poor grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tania @ #71653: tricky animates one (1 year, 8 months ago)

Baz @ #71661: It’s Motocross, not Motorcross. Italian OR French is a bit of a cop out, stick with one or the other. Not sure about “Pall”, but this is otherwise a good first draft. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trillium @ #71648: Delightful! (1 year, 8 months ago)

RBR45 @ #71605: good grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

st @ #71628: I put in homophones for the purple group. Should be included or one of the words amended to only fit with your answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #71567: Good grid could do with some extra allowed answers for the Quad group (1 year, 8 months ago)

saiga @ #71605: this was awesome. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mattie @ #71628: Purple group could also be homophones - berry, shore, hail, sail? (1 year, 8 months ago)

M.mouse @ #71600: Needs to accept Irish (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #71617: Enjoyed that. Thanks (1 year, 8 months ago)

RosyDanger @ #71617: Excellent- thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

RW @ #71621: None of the obvious type-ins worked - spaniel, sopranos, synonyms and stationery all rejected - and that last connection was misspelled as "stationary". I tried the quiz again to check, and even the misspelling was not accepted as an answer. Could have been a fun puzzle otherwise. (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #64635: Nice one. Good variety in the answers. Also enjoyed learning about the gentoo penguin! (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #71609: Not bad but needs more variety. All clues require a prefix or a suffix (1 year, 8 months ago)

weegieman @ #71613: Very inventive, I doff my hat (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71617: It grew on me. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71615: Liked it! TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #71616: We do call it Scotch tape - but that term is not yet *legally* genericized and is still a trademark of 3M. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71616: I want to blow you a raspberry, but I will refrain ( a five vowel comment. I thought folks in your country called it Scotch? TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71609: 🎊 time. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

MR ONYON @ #71605: Good fun but way too easy - would enjoy another grid with some more obscure clues. These grids would be much better if they were able to incorporate red herrings (which in theory should be easier since the vowels can be different) (1 year, 8 months ago)

MR ONYON @ #71600: Bit too easy for my taste, and surely makes more sense to turn George into Gorge. Also 'stuff from Ireland' is a bit of a loose category. Otherwise good job (1 year, 8 months ago)

Madeleine Arnold @ #71605: Great grid! FR took me a while to work out!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sam @ #71605: Loved that :-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #71586: Not familiar with eye fillet, so I was thrown for a bit, but a fun grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #71598: Tricky! Another one where I got no sets but got 3 connections, was too busy trying to remember the source of the Old Bailey connection (Bloody secondary school literature 🤣) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #71599: Bloody difficult, got no actual sets, but got 3 of the connections (1 year, 8 months ago)

JDawg @ #71587: Not bad (1 year, 8 months ago)

JDawg @ #71149: Really enjoyed this! 5 Star would do again (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #71605: Great fun - only just made it in time. so hard when words start with vowels! (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #71567: Interesting connection - pleased that I got Beatles link first. (1 year, 8 months ago)

GS @ #71432: Agree with David. Brassicas and Same Meaning should be accepted (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #71600: The Irish row needs to accept "Irish" as an answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #71584: Lovely! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Max @ #71600: I laughed I cried I fist pumped the air (1 year, 8 months ago)

Myname @ #71577: Celebrity group didn't take performers which seemed unfair. Celebrity is a broad connection. Children's TV programmes didn't accept cartoon S. (1 year, 8 months ago)

a knob @ #71570: im just a knob (1 year, 8 months ago)

bert @ #14397: not sure KFC is a burger restaurant, think there's a clue in its name........ better connection might have been "fast food" restaurants ! (1 year, 8 months ago)

FURIOUS MAN @ #71583: Should accept "anagrams" as well as "backwards" conjunctions (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #71587: Fun grid! But doesn't accept "von trapp" as an answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71567: Pretty good. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71594: Well constructed, however I agree with Dave. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #71594: Two groups entirely overlap - the answer given for one of those groups is very obscure! (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #71412: Animal plural was a tame answer. Many people keep those as PETS. I doubt many have heard of Cliff Burton, and the "linked to a third" was weak, in my opinion - third reich, third man, even simply a third, fine, but then it's not third Richard, it's Richard the Third, which starts twisting the whole thing. (1 year, 8 months ago)

JEREMY @ #71477: Nice grid, but the animals category wasn't tight enough. The same letter didn't change and they weren't the same genus. (1 year, 8 months ago)

theATCguy @ #71586: Very enjoyable. Took me annoyingly long to clock the pattern (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michel @ #71556: I know you are supposed not to comment on connections but not accepting Vinegar or type of vinegar as an answer? Does it have to be "Types of Vinegar"? (1 year, 8 months ago)

EJ @ #71586: I liked this! (1 year, 8 months ago)

theATCguy @ #71578: Nice grid but I think it should be homophones not homonyms (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #71565: I thought Mounts should be accepted since you go on to put Mount in front of each of them. Weird. And Brits aren't going to know all assassinations in gun-made USA. (1 year, 8 months ago)

EJ @ #71583: Great grid. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #71555: Good grid, decent crossovers, medium difficulty, well thought out (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70785: Just a tip: put the split between words at a different spot than the actual words. Makes it too easy. Fun wall anyway! (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70789: My main complaint: the emojis are very small, even with a decent sized grid on my laptop screen. It was tricky to figure out what some of them were. My secondary complaint: 'ice land' is a stretch, it was not clear at all that this was ice, for starters. My admission: while I had pondered 'bands' when I saw the possibility of 'the eagles', I failed to decipher any of the others, and became convinced that another one was "the war of the roses" and thus couldn't figure out how the rest of that group connected to 'wars' hahahaa (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #71580: The Kendrick set is wrong: Ella B. Perkins doesn't fit (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #71103: I agree with David - card game terms ought to meet the criteria (1 year, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #71568: Had several combinations made me think (1 year, 8 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #71078: Clock follows the words in that group but it is set to only accept clocks. If you use the singular it will accept the plural but not vice versa. And yes, Brunel was a great engineer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Peamama @ #71558: How silly of mean! Edited! (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71565: I actually wanted to add Mount as a linking term, but there was an error message upon completion that the mail-confirmation with the option to edit could not be send, so no linking terms will be added. Feel free to vote as appropriate for a grid with that omission and feel free to award yourself points if you typed in Mount. (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #71540: Agree with Enzed you could switch answers and still be "right" (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #71565: Good groups, but 'Mount' not accepted for mount xxxx??, and whats accepted for the assassinated (eg they were all shot). In the context of this grid, they were also american politican figures. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #71563: Great grid. I'd prefer the names group looped back around (Short-James doesn't work) but very enojoyable anyway. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #71558: It’s Maisie Adam, not Adams. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toby @ #51674: Good, but I would suggest more acceptable answers for "passing ways" and I felt like "common names" was a bit broad. But enjoyable grid, thanks for submitting! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bnc @ #60939: Great puzzle. Also had an issue submitting x-men. allowing for a variation (hyphen or not) would be good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Moondog @ #71542: All feature in 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' The first published of the Narnia novels and as such is a correct answer. The description could possibly cause confusion for those who believe 'The Magicians Nephew' is the first book because it precedes 'The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe' In the Narnia timeline. It was published 6th in the series in 1955. I post this not to detract from the OP, bighernando, who was correct, but to clear up a point that may not have been clear in the description of the grid. (the fault lies in the restrictions of the web, not the OP or the owner of this website who provides us with so much entertainament and consternation by engaging us with each other) No citicism is intended or implied to any person, merely an explanation that is hopefully a constructive comment.

HMK74 @ #71511: @Annie I didn't include "dwarves" but did include "dwarfs" which is the correct spelling of the plural of someone with dwarfism. The term Dwarves only relates to Tolkeins mythical creatures. Take an extra point though 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

There were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame as The Animals. I stand by my choice to name them The Animals. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71353: Nice grid, fairly straightforward but with enough crossovers to stop it being completely obvious straight away. Didn't spot the Mosquito link until I'd solved the rest of the grid. Not sure whether moving macaroni into the other group would make it harder or easier. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71389: Looked horrible, but solving one group made the other groups much more obvious. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Howard @ #71382: Poor grid. Spelling mistake, not accepting Alan or Bean as an answer and the children’s TV group way too broad. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #71356: Agree with others shou;d be Fenchurch street, also Crewe is a Town that happens to have a rail station. (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #71353: Not bad, but needed crossovers, if you could eg work macaroni into the penguin group it would really improve it, was too easy (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70643: I agree that include "tank top" with the other "___ tank" is a bit too much. And there must be some way of accepting the latin number names instead of "months", after all, those months are thus named because they were the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months at the time, thus sept-oct-nov-dec. (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70641: What is a bun fight?? And it should accept "broadway" for "musicals". (1 year, 8 months ago)

lemonz5 @ #71373: Walford is Eastenders - Waterloo Road is set in Lancashire (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70628: Well I guess I'm happy that I found the groups despite not knowing spanish but only comparing it with other languages I do know. But I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be a grid "in spanish" or if figuring out foreign language clues was supposed to be the point. (1 year, 8 months ago)

lemonz5 @ #71382: Alan wasn’t accepted as an answer for the Alan group. I’m not sure who Eliza is but the other three are all title characters in children’s TV shows so I don’t think that’s too much of an issue but I can’t find a corresponding show for Eliza so perhaps Eliza should be something else to match the others? (1 year, 8 months ago)

MR ONYON @ #24710: 'owl' could also be 'oe' as in Foe (enemy), Boeing (plane), Hooed (past tense of ho, as in the garden) and Toeine (alone in written norsk) (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70619: Should accept singular "ranger" for sure. The 'green' shades are iffy. I don't agree that we can swap "jungle" out of greens because I've never heard of a "jungle ranger". But I guess I've never heard of "jungle green" either! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Shane @ #71353: Well, I like it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fairy @ #71382: Needs a little work. I think Titsmarch is meant to be Titchmarsh as Google shows no Alan's of the former. The characters in children's TV programmes needs narrowing down. Virtually every name could be a name of a character in a children's TV programme. I would try and limit names to either 1 particular programme or series. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #71382: Titchmarsh? Bean and Alan not acceptable answers? The mona group is ludicrously open. (1 year, 8 months ago)

MR ONYON @ #71377: In my view relies too heavily on niche knowledge. X-men, NBA and Topgun details all required. Better grids have a one or two groups with niche knowledge, mixed with other more general categories or those which involve some trick or thought. (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71369: "What’s happening with all the duplicated grids? Does the site have a glitch?" If you buttonmash the submit-button, because the site is slow and you believe you have not been registred, the grid will be submitted twice, thrice etc. The few times I've done it, I solved one of the grids 5 times in a row, gave it a one star each time and practically speaking nobody saw it as it dropped off the main page.

Daxw @ #71284: Nice idea. I wasted 2 minutes thinking it was father & son, mother & daughter etc. After spotting the categories it was relatively straight forward. 10/10, good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

count-snackula @ #71071: good grid, thanks to the setter (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #71313: Enjoyed this. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #71018: Its a sign of a miss-spent youth that I got the darts group!!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #71308: Ladykins? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Garbo @ #71269: @b You must be fun at parties... The -y words are there for a reason; so you get the red herrings of Germany (a country), Frenchy (a Pink Lady) + the rhymes Easy, Peasy, Japanesey (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #71303: Nice grid. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Garbo @ #71323: Agree with the other comments. The only reason I didn't write 'Roman' as a connection for that group is because I saw Jorvik which doesn't look or sound remotely Latin. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71307: Nice and straightforward. Thank you (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71323: Some good ideas, but needs heavy editing to work as a grid. Jorvik was the Viking name for York , Eboracum was the Roman name,so you've just got two groups of cities that have changed their names, one British and the other everywhere else. Also the longest reigning British monarchs group doesn't need the qualification 'longest reigning' as you have no other British monarchs on the grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Virapondus @ #71323: Requiring "Roman" for the group consisting of former names of English cities is incorrect. Yorvik was the Viking name for York, which is post-Roman. The Roman name was Eboracum. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71329: Oh God, not the months again! I was hoping they were a red herring and ignored them for a while. Apart from that, nice. I love the two simple knowledge groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Meh @ #71329: @Jon I went back and edited to include that right after I'd posted the grid. You must have started the grid really soon after I'd set it! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kitty @ #71313: Great grid! Although Hudson et all didn't accept daughters of movie stars which was a shame. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #71323: Very tricky. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #71329: allow field (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #71269: Just adding a Y to words is simply lazy. (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #71326: The Dracula group is poor, in my opinion. Three of them are kings - you needed another king; you didn't need to make the stretch to literary folk with noble titles, which is understating kings. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pearl @ #71298: Nice grid. Good mix & nothing too 'niche'. Ty (1 year, 8 months ago)

HennHawk @ #71315: Good Grid. Got stuck on the Beach group for far too long (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #71263: My criticism too. I got 10/10 really. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Cyrus Buckman @ #41043: i hate this , women should be paid a lot less then men in my opinion as we are better. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71321: Good ideas, but a couple of really obscure answers. Pretty tricky, and annoyingly I can't find any swaps to complain about. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #71314: Great work! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #71305: Knew all the connections, but nothing I typed in was accepted, very frustrating. Maybe simplify them next time?? Still, a good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Garbo @ #71313: Thanks Aodhan :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Liz @ #71071: Spice World is an absolute classic, not really a musical though, but very funny, with an amazing cast (Richard E. Grant is brilliant!) and doesn't take itself serious in the least bit. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Garbo @ #71312: I believe I fixed it. I took out Lady Grey, so you can't swap her with Earl Grey anymore. I put Oolong in the tea category and Breakfast in the 'contain adjectives' category. And you can't swap Oolong with Breakfast, because as you correctly informed me, the tea name is English Breakfast. My mind hurts now. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aodhan5 @ #71313: Great grid. Soooooooooo many red herrings. Love it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Aodhan5 @ #71313: (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #71296: Haven't heard of Joe Blow before (1 year, 8 months ago)

Garbo @ #71306: Hi Malcontent. Again, thanks for the feedback. I don't think there is a Santa Elsa, at least not in well-known place names etc. You're perhaps right about swapping Monica with Ana though. Santa Ana is definitely a thing, but I can't think of any popular Spanish actress called Monica that works internationally (And I am half Spanish myself). Were you thinking about Monica Cruz? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Garbo @ #71312: @Malcontent Thanks for commenting on my grids :) I think I try so hard to add red herrings that I end up with these cases were multiple solutions are possible + I hadn't even spotted that Breakfast includes an adjective. I might just edit it and swap Breakfast for Rooibos or something. I only just started making grids yesterday. Still learning. Thanks for the feedback. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71312: Good ideas but there are about a dozen equally valid solutions to the grid. Lady Grey can swap with Earl Grey, as they're both types of tea and both begin with titles (also, I'm not sure,but I think it's English Breakfast tea, not just Breakfast tea). Oolong could swap with Breakfast Lady Grey,or Green - Oolong is a tea, Fast, Grey and Green are adjectives (colours are adjectives as well as nouns). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71306: Really fun ideas and very clever, but there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Monica could swap over with Ana (or possibly Elsa). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #71311: Bit tedious (1 year, 8 months ago)

Cynthia Thompson @ #61807: Really enjoyed this (1 year, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #70043: I somehow found all four groups, but didn't get a single connection. I... just don't know. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Corky @ #71254: Easy but fun (1 year, 8 months ago)

rawbee @ #71234: That's fair, PotatoSalad - and it works for the red herring too. I've added that as an acceptable answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #71234: Really good grid. Particularly liked the Vibex group - very clever. I put "rock and roll hall of fame" for the connection on Dylan, which is technically correct, so maybe add that to the criteria (obviously it's not *as good* as the actual answer, but it still feels specific enough that it should be accepted) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #60470: The collective nouns group wouldn't accept collective nouns just groups! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #61153: The idea behind these grids is to give your brain a work out and to learn a new thing like PubG is great every day a school day! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #71254: Very easy, but good fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Richard Jeggo @ #71254: Wxcellent (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71257: Probably a complete accident, but for the group with able, they all work as an "add a C to form a new word"-group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71251: Very easy to sort all of the groups, impossible to get the right link terms, some of which must have been spectacularly over specific, going by the explanations, and one of which was difficult because two of the four words created were utterly obscure. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #71238: A bit sexist, one of the clues….. (1 year, 8 months ago)

heather @ #70552: I answered "mini" and it was rejected. I accept that none of the answers were "mini", they were all "minnie" -- I had thought along the way that it was a mini/minnie homophone situation and failed to notice that in the end they were all minnies. So it was a legitimate reject. That being said, if this were a live game and I had SAID "they are all minis" it would have been accepted because they wouldn't see how I was spelling it in my head! ;) (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71223: I have no problem with discussing religion, nor with mixing things up within a category. I think "modern" would be a better description than "non-conventional" as at least one of them is conventional in certain regions, and "modern" works because all options are from the past 200 years. But don't feel discouraged and do keep treating religions like any other subject. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #71223: Never discuss politics or religion! Your Jediism group will be seen as incredibly insulting, as at least two of those are genuine religions with very, very large congregations, and do not belong in a group with two joke religeons. Beyond that I knew the other three groups but all of them were returned as wrong because of the very narrow definitions you must have specified. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #71077: Great grid :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #71071: Att. JonBob: valid point. They are interchangeable but that would change one category from being very specific to a more generalized semantics/word-category. It is legitimate to think that the grid is the lesser for it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71070: Really good, and tricky enough to leave me with less than half a minute, all logical and doable with no obscure knowledge needed. In fact my only complaint, if I were nit picking, would be that it was all word based, homophones, add a word, or find a hidden word links, rather than any straightforward (slightly less than) general knowledge groups.

Trillium @ #71043: The perfect (word for word and identical spelling) link answers I entered were not accepted for 2 of the groups. Oddly enough, a third group accepted my link answer, even though it did not match and your link word for that group has a typo/misspelling. No big deal, but some kind of bug is affecting the other 2 links. Regarding the 4th link, I learned something new. 😊Thanks for posting! (1 year, 8 months ago)

theATCguy @ #71036: Had me bouncing around the groups for a while. Very enjoyable (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71034: Some good ideas but the link terms were often too specific (e.g. vehicles should work as a link). Also there are at least three equally valid solutions to the grid using your link terms. Oscar and Romeo are both literary characters who died, so either one could swap with Juliet as that also represents a letter in the phonetic alphabet. It has potential to be a a really, really good grid, with some editing, but as it is, it just doesn't work, as it's only solvable by pure luck or mind-reading (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71035: Even if I spoke all those languages, there'd be too much to read or look at to do this wall in 3 minutes. Had to restart 4 times to get two groups. Too wordy and a bit too clever. Still satisfying to get the links after the wall resolved though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #71007: Lovely grid with good number of possibilities! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #71020: Great grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Shane @ #70944: poor (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #71020: Excellent. How a wall should be (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #70944: Really like this! Loads of crossovers, less common groups. Best grid I've done in a while (1 year, 8 months ago)

Poppy @ #70945: I don't know how much I'm allowed to say, but I think Vampire should actually be a different word. I think it's technically not what the group says it is, even though it's usually referred to as though it is. (1 year, 8 months ago)

HMK74 @ #71017: @Gog-ette now fixed. Thanks for the feedback x (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #71019: So I put Snow as the answer for the Jon group and got given the points - which is weird. (1 year, 8 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #9679: Am I missing something, but with the new formatted puzzgrid I cannot find the ' check ' button. This means that I cannot take part in the game. How does one check one's answer . Please help. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ewan @ #71017: 10/10 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #70892: Wonderful! Got me some fetti 🎊🎉 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #71017: That aside. I loved it. Great grid. Thank you! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #71017: The singular should be accepted for the Fir group, especially seeing as the full names are given in the answer and are all obviously in the singular. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #71018: The joker group stumped me too. I thought it was batman characters. No fetti for me this time. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #71018: Irritated not to get The Joker group. I should have thought about it a bit more. Good grid. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Katrina @ #70952: @Martin Francis. Thanks for taking time to give your feedback, but I don't quite follow it. I added an L to Nobby to give Nobbly, R to Geoff to give Geroff, L to Bobby to give Blobby and S to Roger to give Rogers, so one additional letter in each case. (I know Rogers is a bit weak, but I wanted it as a red herring for the Mr group). (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #70946: Had to guess the last one, but fetti did fall 🎊🎉. Nice grid :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

oops @ #71018: very enjoyable! Frustrated to only get two of the four groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70882: Hope you are well (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #71013: Great grid! Fetti on first atempt 🎊🎉 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70944: I'm with those with the Daily?,. Also with you regarding the Oliver's. Oooch. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

victordiaz @ #71013: I think you need to edit one of the groups in this puzzle. The NATO phonetic alphabet group doesn't accept "NATO" as a correct answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71001: Lovely tricky frustrating. The only 'Homeric' reference I can recall was a line from the film The Quiet Man. For officianados only. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #71004: Loved it. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #71002: Nice and straightforward. Thanks? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #70881: What the hell is an"old" job supposed to mean? Are farmers now obsolete? (1 year, 8 months ago)

David @ #70944: The Daily Show does tie it to a mainly US audience of a certain age, but otherwise as always a good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

gridlington @ #71002: What is Bakewellington? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #71007: Nice crossovers. Well put together grid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Corky @ #70915: wow!! what a great puzzgrid, very impressive (1 year, 8 months ago)

Corky @ #70951: nice effort, next time you can be harder (1 year, 8 months ago)

corky @ #71000: what a brilliant puzzgrid (1 year, 8 months ago)

Martin Francis @ #70934: Very good (1 year, 8 months ago)

Martin Francis @ #70954: Homophones are very good (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #70944: "What is the daily show?" I realise this Grid is a bit wasted on those not familiar with The Daily Show. It s a satirical TV-show that has run for 27 years so far, the longest running show in the history of Comedy Central. For a good part of those years, especially during the Bush-era, The Daily Show was the main court-jester in American political discourse. If your adulthood happened mainly after 2010, you are forgiven for not knowing, but for everybody else it is a fair subject to presume knowledge of. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Martin Francis @ #70952: Blobby needs some work, it’s not Nobby with one extra letter etc (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #70996: I agree with comment about "carve" - I had identified the connection, so this was frustrating (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #71000: (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70996: Nice ideas. The homophones group doesn't work though, because carve just isn't a homophone of calf, and three groups based on body parts isn't really much variety. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #70996: Carve absolutely does not sound like calf; V and F are different sounds (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70994: Good, but the marigold link has been done to death. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #70944: What is the daily show? (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #70915: I do enjoy a music grid and like the inclusion of the old Music Hall song "Any Old Iron" (1 year, 8 months ago)

gergo @ #70649: GERGO (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70996: Carve doesn't really sound like calf, but a decent wall all the same (1 year, 8 months ago)

Katrina @ #70996: "Carve" simply isn't a homophone for me. Other than that, grid works well. (1 year, 8 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70996: Got it with 7 seconds to go! Good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Greg @ #70649: Boffo. A good one. (1 year, 8 months ago)

H @ #70888: Agree with opie. I didn't get the Banjo connection and your explanation didn't enlighten! Also, supernova is a thing without the need for champagne (although that's always nice!) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ray @ #70985: Nice variety of topics (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pearl @ #70913: Good fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

ed @ #70990: waste of my life (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70963: Didn't really enjoy this one. Only solved one group, before running out of time, and couldn't get the link term. I got another link after the wall resolved, and was kicking myself for missing the group itself, but to be honest I didn't really understand the explanations two of the other three groups, including the one I'd sorted out. If I do vaguely understand those groupings, I don't really think they should be in the same grid, as there's a distinct overlap. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70947: Nice. I was lucky to guess an acceptable link term for the index group, without knowing your exact parameters, and very lucky not to have seen the possible ref herring groups before I'd sorted the grid. Good fun. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70954: Nice links and variety of different types of link but bloody obscure items in most. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Drew @ #70973: Felipe=smash (1 year, 8 months ago)

K A Keir @ #15859: Very good. (1 year, 8 months ago)

hattue @ #70959: wonderful I love it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70945: Good fun, but I had no idea about the Moves group (quite glad of that TBH), but still managed to disentangle it from the Jelly group,with 48 seconds to go. I was lucky I'd tried most of the variables for the Jelly group before I'd sorted the other two groups. (1 year, 8 months ago)

K A Keir @ #54971: Connections are very vague and too obscure. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Trillium @ #70944: Excellent, and I always appreciate your detailed explanations. Wish more contributors would do that. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fraser @ #70956: A (1 year, 8 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70952: I had a giggle at this one. So many red herrings though! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70944: Not a clue on the Black, Colbert, etc connection, out of my sphere of knowledge. Good wall though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Katrina @ #70946: Great wall, very satisfying (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70946: Good wall, takes a while to work out the red herrings (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jibberath @ #70952: Brilliant grid, the way you manufactured red herrings is stellar (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jibberath @ #70946: One of my favourites I’ve ever seen on here. Excellent garden path clues, 10/10/10 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70951: You're right, this was an easy one!! (1 year, 8 months ago)

CJCougan @ #70246: Gay bottom… should be removed. As the Irish duke says “not cool” (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #70945: Gutted I didn't get the Jelly group. I couldn't work out which other answers fitted. My lack of knowledge of the Up group let me down. Lovely grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #70906: Not a fan of the Nancy group. Otherwise good. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70921: @BabayJane05 Sorry, I'll get that fixed. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70935: Shouldn't it be Strait, not Straight? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70877: Idiot. Particles not accepted the particles group, SI units not accepted for the SI units group, ic not accepted for the ic group. Hang your head in shame. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70947: Awful. You need to update the acceptable answers. (1 year, 8 months ago)

CharH @ #70947: Wow that was fun, tricky and interesting! Great grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Søren @ #70944: James Bond the birdwatcher........... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #70935: Fabulous grid, love the categories. Some answers could be expanded - “aircraft from World War Two” was rejected, but love this grid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (1 year, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #70944: Fab grid. I always look out for yours as they’re always so good. 😀 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ray @ #70934: Comments re starlingrad - they don’t have to be real words to go in the grid; if you watch only connect there are plenty of occasions a fake word or a slightly misspelled word is in there - perfectly normal practice. Good point re whales, will change. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #70931: The Gordon group is also first names of the Mercury 7 astronauts. (Project Mercury came first :-) ) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kit @ #70934: What animal is hidden in WHALES? Obviously, a whale is an animal, but whales is just the plural, not a word hiding an animal name. Plus, nighttime is right; STARLINGRAD is not a word. Sorry... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #70935: Good one 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Kristin @ #70944: So many false groups--made my head spin. But, really well done. :-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

victordiaz @ #70943: Got to be honest, the connection to do with jersey colors is a massive stretch. Not a fan (1 year, 8 months ago)

victordiaz @ #70942: @Max I believe it fits perfectly with the other clues. It's a street in New York City. I never said it was prominent or as recognizable as the other streets. (1 year, 8 months ago)

max @ #70942: I'm sorry but Tyler Ave is not a thing. Technically there's a street by that name in Queens, but it's obviously not as prominent as park, lex or Madison (1 year, 8 months ago)

Shane @ #70892: North/South is a bit loose. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70625: Nice and simple and all the answers made sense. Thank you. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70928: Great. The Our Flag group, was annoyingly contrived, but I loved it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Martin Francis @ #47422: Car and combustion are the same thing regarding engines (1 year, 8 months ago)

Martin Francis @ #54952: Nice ideas (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tyler @ #70915: I wasn't familiar with most of the items, but I knew just enough to get the categories at the end. Quite enjoyable. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Pauline @ #70831: Annoyed you didn't accept collective nouns as an answer (1 year, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #70915: Well spotted Sean - that one could have gone in a couple of groups but I changed it at the last minute and messed up slightly - sorted now (1 year, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #70897: A very clever grid & I was very pleased with myself for spotting the connections. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #70892: But "countries" alone shouldn't be enough to get the point for that category. (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #70892: Att. Ian: This grid does not say that Africa is a country. A good description is provided once the wall is solved. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Myname @ #30903: Needs 30s more. Astronomy isn't valid for space. Black Jacks weren't pennies even for people in their mid 30s so that lowered the quality for me. (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #70886: Thanks for sharing. There are multiple solutions for the row including "w", so you need to expand the linking terms. The puzzle does hold up with only one correct solution, but there are multiple reasons why that one solution is correct. (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #70884: You have to provide an explanation as to why these items belong to a certain group. There is nothing obvious about the groupings and nothing is explained after the grid finishes. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #66974: Synonyms for bye not good enough. Ta ta. (1 year, 8 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70869: You misspelled Oklahoma (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70859: @Horatio Agreed, it was a bit weak. Now updated. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70859: @blooit It’s a very common term. I’m surprised you’ve not come across it. @Jeannie Smith thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bruh @ #70870: Nice , I only got one link but this was a fab grid. TY (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #70810: Tricky grid, really enjoyed. Spent ages looking for Harry Potter 🫠 (1 year, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6+ @ #70803: Sweet (1 year, 8 months ago)

Me @ #70869: Oaklahoma is not a film without an exclamation - it’s a mis-spelled US state Oklahoma! Is a film. As are all four of the stage musicals - twin connections don’t belong in perfect grids IMO (1 year, 8 months ago)

jayne @ #63845: I enjoyed this - but for the fact that walking sticks aren't curved! :) I suppose if they are the type that has a hook at the end they are. But not really. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #70866: Enjoyed this grid. Think you're mad. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #70867: Not sure about the mixing up of spellings if homophones isn't the link (1 year, 8 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #70864: Thank you for sharing your comments Horatio. I am giving them the consideration they deserve. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #70859: Sleep hygiene is the phrase used to describe ways of promoting deep sleep (1 year, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #70859: The braini line doesn't work because only one of them is a word in it's own right. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Tyler @ #70859: Like Blooit, Sleep also baffled me, as I've never heard it used that way before. Otherwise the grid was good. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #70864: Jeannie is deluded and easily pleased. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #70864: The St Andrew line was hopeless, just a rando selection of saints because you wanted a red herring for St George (also a pretty weak line) - NOT GOOD. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #70864: Excellent- kicked myself that I didn't get the Beatles link! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Blooit @ #70859: Sleep? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Den Allen @ #70831: The name for a group of animals IS a collective noun. Should be the connection. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris Ditchfield @ #70829: Mitch Albom is a new one to me. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #56565: No actual connections given for two of the groups. Not going to get into a spelling debate... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70832: You haven't actually said what the connection was for three of the groups. It can be assumed for two of them - Bond villains & scientific measuring scales (I presume?) but what is the third? Artists? Painters? (1 year, 8 months ago)

mattymungbean @ #70832: didnt except scales, didnt give the actually connection (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70831: Hadn't previously heard of an HP Pencil. Learn something every day! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70828: Sorted the groups quite quickly, the last group connection (areas of Paris) took a while though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michel @ #70831: Isn't it HB pencil?? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70813: Grid works fine, but you need to add more options to your accepted answers. The advice is to use the shortest form possible, e.g. "mark". (1 year, 8 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70821: Firm but fair! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Quizzling @ #70828: This fell quite nicely for me as a quizzer "of a certain age". Challenging but good. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Moondog @ #70805: Makes me realise just how much of my schooling I have forgotten. I got the simplest group, I failed badly on the other three. The answers highlighted much of the lessons I have lost. Mea Culpa, previously I would have aced this, now I know for sure I have lost knowledge to lack of practice. Thanks (but not thanks) to Mme Green for reminding me to not only think, but remember my education. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70813: Congratulations, possibly the worst grid I’ve ever done, you should hang your head in shame (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70817: Cocktails, dances, prime ministers, TV show contestants, same old topics. Take a long hard look in the mirror at yourself. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70561: You’re a clown. And you don’t know how to spell. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70562: Grim. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70817: Solved in about one minute, as some things obviously belonged together, but at least two links were incomprehensible, even after reading the 'explanations' multiple times. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #70723: Dreadful. I wonder if I can filter out your contrived, humourless grids? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #42674: Very high brow and not very forgiving of answers! "Composers" is OK but "composer" is not? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #70793: Nice and easy grid, enjoy these Spotted the plot early, so... 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64225: Paediatric not peadiatric. The spelling mistake had me wasting time looking for alternative items for the medical group and for a hidden word group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #70790: Thanks Tiny. Highlights how difficult it is to make a TV standard grid. Some nice red herrings and groups but not a unique solution and for obvious reasons short of a Little Mix herring. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70793: Nice grid. Thanks. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mrs Busman @ #70789: Great fun grid! Clever and original (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70790: @Stephen B Yes, you are correct. (1 year, 8 months ago)

freedom @ #70793: thanks, fixed (1 year, 8 months ago)

katrobrosi @ #70789: Brilliant - I sort of knew what was going on and even most of the categories but couldn't quite unpick it. One plea - please (and everyone else) accept 'pop groups'. I belong to a generation for which a 'band' is a large group of musicians (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56512: Awful. (1 year, 8 months ago)

HMK74 @ #70720: Really good! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Stephen B @ #70789: Worked perfectly for me! A couple of the rebuses were a bit strained, but overall a fun grid! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Stephen B @ #70790: Solution is non-unique (I think!) - mint and sage could be swapped. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70790: Reasonably easy to sort, not a clue on the Little Mix connection! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70793: Presume .ater. is supposed to be lateral, so should be .atera. Otherwise good wall (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #68291: Good. Shame all the groups were 'hidden word' links though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #70785: Alas, did not accept 'county' nor 'element'. Possibly you entered words that were an S longer than necessary. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #136: Unrewarding, frustrating. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #70789: Alas, nine of the symbols show on my screen as plain rectangles, and others think too have been scrambled. How does a triangle symbolise 'land'? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jibberath @ #70730: I agree that ‘Jungle’ is a bit bizarre as it only makes sense followed by the word ‘cat’ but learning that jungle cats exist more than makes up for it (1 year, 8 months ago)

Angie @ #70751: Enjoyable but didn’t accept palindrome as an answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #70755: I somehow managed to solve this wall and I don't really know how. Apart from the birds, none of my connections matched yours. For one, the begin and end in the same letter group are all Scottish club but this wasn't accepted as an answer. Though still a vaild connection. The 'red' group I said were all winners of European trophies and the Moyes group could be connected in many ways. All valid. Nice idea, but there are simply too many ways to form different yet equally valid connections within this wall. (1 year, 8 months ago)

HMK74 @ #70735: Nice grid. Liked the Golden line. Took me a while to spot it, but I got it. Solved the wall and got 2 connections. (1 year, 8 months ago)

HMK74 @ #70725: Really enjoyed that one. Solved it, but had to really think. Got 3 of the connections, knew the 4th was cars but didn't get get the specific answer. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #70739: Very nice! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Jibberath @ #70663: Really interesting groups, I like when I actually learn from these puzzles! Thought it would be really easy from the ‘silent k’ group, what a difficulty curve! Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to A&E for the whiplash this gave me lol (1 year, 8 months ago)

William @ #70666: Just a comment to the poster below. Please note that the color of the rows changes from time to time. Try playing the same grid twice and you realise that there is no such thing as a "red row" or "green row." So helpful hints to improvement has to specify which row you are talking about. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #46087: Same, missed the veg group (1 year, 8 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70734: You have misspelled vegetables (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #70670: OK, but I'm frowning at the Orchestral Suites answer. Hardly what Shakespeare is known for, now is it. (1 year, 8 months ago)

b @ #70725: Enjoyed that. Fairly simple for someone who knows politics, Thunderbirds, cars and chocolate, but just enough red herrings there to make you think. 10/10 for both of us. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #48989: Nice groups, fun to solves, but badly over specific wording for the links. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #70734: Blah (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #70727: Two football lines in one grid not really engaging (1 year, 8 months ago)

Matt McLellan @ #70720: Great (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michel @ #70726: relatives? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70666: The red row alone precludes this grid from being "of interest to a general audience." The green row is fun, but the rest is just arcane in the least interesting way. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70708: "Swiss" doesn't fit its category without more specificity. The red and blue rows feel pretty weak, and I believe "Map" should be plural. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70719: Great fun, though slightly obvious. @Adriano - Hoboe is what gave me the the whole wall. It made one group obvious, and excluded littlest hoboe from another obvious group, so I could solve it in just over half a minute. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Meh @ #70719: Adriano, oboe ends in an e, and that was the part relevant to the link. The misspelling of hobo was an extra clue to the group and the link. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70722: Good ideas, but 'Egyptian canopic jar heads' is ridiculously over specific. Falcon, human, baboon and jackal are the heads of Egyptian gods. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70711: I guessed golf manufacturers and got a point :-) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Seán @ #70720: Very good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70717: Stuart Bingham’s nickname is Ball-Run, not Bull-Run. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #628: Is there an Oldgate in London? I've not heard of it. Good grid apart from that though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70719: Hobo doesn’t end with an e. (1 year, 8 months ago)

BigDaddy @ #70707: Mark - Bandit is a character from the popular TV show Bluey. Michel - the crossover is what makes it a little trickier. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #70717: It's flintlock, not fintlock. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michel @ #70707: Open to too much interpretation and personal opinion - leaf of what for instance?? Fire is often seen as red, you can get yellow, purple and red carrots (1 year, 8 months ago)

Michel @ #70709: Meh... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Carole @ #70639: Two of these categories 'connections' are misnamed - Football teams should work but doesn't, and just writing out what the initialisms/keyboard shorthands mean isn't the connection. (1 year, 8 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70708: >groan< at the "Spirit" one! But fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70709: Fire is something to do in a fire?!? The from the ground link is a bit tenuous too. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nof @ #70705: Are they crisps? Snacks should also be acceptable, otherwise a nice simple grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Superdolly @ #70700: Didn't get it but excellent quiz (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #70710: Enjoyed this grid. Not hard. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #70711: One super-obscure group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

ef316 @ #70680: The "Penalty Try" does not fit with the other clues. ***SPOILERS BELOW*** . . . A penalty try is only worth 5 points. The team that has been awarded a penalty try is still required to kick the conversion to get the extra 2 points. Granted, the conversion will be in front of the posts and almost always be converted but i think if the clue was changed to "Converted Try" it would actually fit. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Moondog @ #70681: Alloy or not it's still a metal. Consistent from beginning to end. Decent grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #70681: Usually I dislike this kind of grid as once you've figured out one link, you've basically figured them all out and it feels kinda lazy. This one felt like it had at least an additional layer of deception though, which made it more fun. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Seán @ #70652: We’ll, that showed Dan. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Seán @ #70689: You might want to revise your explanations of the connections! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #70625: Annoyed that I leapt to the conclusion over the Greek letter group..... I made the connection that they were (are?) all COVID variants! Which would've been another valid connection - if a quick Google search confirmed that Psi isn't a COVID variant... yet... (1 year, 8 months ago)

Brinky @ #70658: I like the grid but ignored Percival as a P.M. as it is Perceval. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Puddles @ #70649: Fixed it. CS Lewis is now accepted, although incomplete as an answer, I think. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70040: Probably easy if you're familiar with DC & Marvel comics! Penguin group are also simply in the southern hemisphere. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70048: A couple of red herrings would make it more interesting (1 year, 8 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70653: The link for the "run" row does not make grammatical sense. I think maybe you meant "all can precede t". (1 year, 8 months ago)

Bob a job @ #70625: Very easy - less than 30 sec. - but that's what people like (1 year, 8 months ago)

CheesyJelly @ #70599: @Nighteyes - Thanks, I've updated the grid to replace it. It does belong according to at least one thesaurus, but I agree the connotation feels different. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Nof @ #70627: Nice grid but I imagine some will not be happy! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Sredni @ #70625: Classic medium. Very good grid indeed. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Danimal @ #70617: @superdolly - isn't that the purpose of the flags though? Like a bit of a warning that it might have knowledge specific to a country (1 year, 8 months ago)

BabyJane05 @ #70626: Full marks for your username alone :) (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70380: Not much fun. Pretty easy to sort out the groups, in under a minute, without knowing exactly what the idea behind each was, even though Hadeon should be spelled Hadean, which put me off for half a minute, and I think Sanitation would be a better fit than Sanitization for the 'pull factor' group.

napawo @ #70619: Are 'light' and 'neon' really shades of green though? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70591: Mono and Penta can be swapped over, so there are at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. It's a shame, as it was otherwise good and challenging. (1 year, 8 months ago)

mal @ #70593: FAR too many crossovers, especially with 2 band ones ( plus Duran Duran was a poor clue) so it became too much guesswork/trial and error. Good ideas in there but it needs work. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Adriano @ #70602: @Tilly 👏👏👏 (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70606: Never heard of mitosis, much less the phases of it! Didn't realise carrot juice was a 'thing' either. Decent wall though. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70506: You really have to add "Willy Wonka and..." as a viable connector, not just "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Otherwise, this was a really fun puzzle after I stopped running into the wall with the phonetic alphabet clues. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70593: I enjoyed trying to separate out all the "queen"-adjacent clues across every group. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70578: Excellent wall. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #70593: The Duran Duran group doenst really work for me. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70182: Couldn't complete the wall, and I overthought one category completely, but I was able to make the remaining connections once I saw them and not feel tricked by the connections. That seems like a mark of a great grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70579: Nice wall, quite difficult but made sense if it just in time. (1 year, 8 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #11389: I wrote "Empire" and not "Empires". Doh! (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70582: Nice wall, nothing contentious. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70474: It's "New York Red Bulls," not "New York Red Bull." The answer on the board is manipulated just to be tricky, which is cheap. Still, it's an easy puzzle but does require a level of US geography and sports knowledge that non-Americans are unlikely to have. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70583: Fiendish is correct. Many crucial gaps in my knowledge. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #15862: Rough for Americans because that's not what "biscuit" means here, and Anzac is an exclusively regional term. (1 year, 8 months ago)

SuperT @ #70589: Spit?????? (1 year, 8 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #70588: All the links follow a similar format - once you've clocked on and figured one group, you've basically solved them all. Not enough variety to make it as an Only Connect grid, I fear. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70584: Nice wall! (1 year, 8 months ago)

SuperT @ #70592: Agreed, eg I put lessen for what had to be fading (1 year, 8 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #70593: Having that many clues about the same band, plus so many of the links following a similar format, takes away from the enjoyability of this wall, sorry. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Lee @ #70574: I liked that there was overlap between the Sonic and Crack categories. I failed figuring out which Sonic ones it wanted and missed the connection that matched Knuckles and Egg to Back and Case. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #70592: Agree with G. Also, why are you shouting - all those capitals made my head ache. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70584: Nice and easy! Only I messed up by spelling desperate wrong. Good grid. (1 year, 8 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70575: As has been said, eels are fish. Otherwise, nice wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70576: Wonder why NATO alphabet J has two t's? Nice wall, took a while to see the 'city' group! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70564: Really good, but a roux isn't a thick sauce, it's used to thicken sauces. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70566: Good ideas but the Madonna group is wrong (as well as being really much too specific) and the extra link term required for the capital cities group is just pointless. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70569: Almost impossible mixture of really obvious general knowledge (oncilla group), obscure but interesting (Karnak group), and utterly uninteresting but hard to spot (Fifi la Fume group). Very good - satisfying but also frustrating. (1 year, 9 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #38531: Not sure how I got marked as wrong writing "synonyms for a cheap person not wanting to spend money". May be worth adding a few more key words to that one. Otherwise a decent grid :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #38530: "synonyms" should probably be accepted as correct in the wise one, but otherwise all good :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70564: Knee gnaw, knee gnaw - the accent self conscious homophone polis will not like you 😆. TY, J (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70561: I looked and looked but did not succeed like a budgie. An awesome puzzle, one which you clearly put a lot of thought and effort into. A grid to admire. TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #56667: decent grid. Could do with some more key words allowed for the "synonyms" one (turntable etc) as i wouldn't say twist and roll are exactly the same meaning. I wrote something like "hidden actions or verbs" i also tried to potentially catch if it was gymnastics moves but it still came out as wrong for me (1 year, 9 months ago)

nina @ #56010: Palindrome spelt wrong so doesn't mark it as correct and doesn't accept 'films' as the connection even though that is the only possible connection. There should be a way of 'Puzzgrid' correcting obvious errors to improve the user experience. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #70552: Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70553: "you can't have red red wine twice..." All my 16 rectangles have unique content and there is only one correct solution for the whole grid. Within those parameters, I can be as sneaky as I want to be. And that includes showing the same thing twice from two different angles. I 100% stand by my use of Red Red Wine. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Irish Duke @ #70564: Perfect grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mahir @ #70553: you can't have red red wine twice (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mahir @ #70562: Nice idea but poorly executed. Lots of mistakes that make the connections more doubtful even when they're right and some connections that are so tenuous anyway that it would be unrealistic to see them even when you know the connection. (1 year, 9 months ago)

a concerned enthusiast @ #70466: hello, as a concerned roller coaster enthusiast ill have to let you know that the ride is simply called "wickerman" not "the wicker man" so dont be daft thank yaw (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70561: I appreciate the effort, but something like this is near impossible to solve under time-constraint. It is always worth keeping in mind that the participants have no idea what they will be looking for and have three minutes to find it. If they have to solve 16 riddles and still have 30 seconds left afterwards to sort them, that gives them 9 seconds per riddle. It is fine to throw a cryptic clue or three in there, but I think 16 is stretching it due to the time-constraint. (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70510: Just my two cents. Any book-series that have passed 80 million in sales and has made the author the best-selling author of the 1990s is not "rather obscure." Discworld is about as mainstream as it gets and do not let remarks to the contrary discourage you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Adriano @ #70541: @QuizMaestro Thanks. (1 year, 9 months ago)

FreyaA @ #70220: Hi there quizzers I wrote this grid and I can see there is room for improvement in the way the answers are presented. I will try and change this to give more clarity because I believe the grid works. Firstly as the poster above me noted the use of lowercase and uppercase letters in the grid. In this instance the letters are presented in the correct way, c for example, the speed of light is always in lower case. Below is an explanation of the difference between derived SI units and SI units. Two of my groups. The homophones group is my third, and the fourth is scientific constants that are generally accepted to be unchanging. A derived unit is a unit of measurement derived from the seven SI base units. A derived unit is a unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) that is derived from one or more of the seven base units. I'm sorry if the way I have presented my answers has caused confusion I'm going to try and rectify this. (1 year, 9 months ago)

QuizMaestro @ #70541: Really good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Leila @ #70220: In the case of this grid it is correct to use lower case notation for example for h, planks constant or c speed of light. As far as I can see they are all correct in that sense. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70537: lovely! (1 year, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #70220: Unwritten rule: single letter grids always fail on something or other. In this case, flaky groups and failure to obey one of the basic rules of a grid - each clue starts with a capital letter. Don't mix upper and lower case. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70525: They dont need to be seas or snooker balls - in the context of why they form a group in this grid, being colours is enough.

Paul @ #70512: The film titles is a dubious group .. there are heaps of movies with country names, so nothing special about this group that would make that a reasonable connection. (Theres also a lot of other and much more direct ways to link the USA group!). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bob a job @ #70506: Enough red herrings to feed the cat for a week. But just enough clues to make it sortable. Good fun thanks. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #34098: Clever, but one group completely contrived (not really homophones), one group completely obscure and needing extremely specialist knowledge to identify it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70507: Good ideas, very clever, but frustrating rather than fun or challenging. Two obscure links for groups with really obscure items, one group with an glaringly obvious link, but with too many possibilities to sort through. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70503: Very good. Enough red herrings to make it really interesting, but no obscure or ridiculously specialist knowledge needed, and all the groups work well. Thank you. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70499: Good ideas, and not too hard to solve, but really hard to get the wording you chose for one of the links. I also put 'musicians' for your 'Robbie' group, as I've not heard Rabbie Burns being referred to as 'Robbie' before, and all four in that group are surnames of musicians (Pete B, Robbie W, John C , Rick S). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70505: Sehr gut! (1 year, 9 months ago)

me @ #70500: No - they are not invasions The troubles were a period of terrorism in Northern Ireland The Malvinas is the Argentinian name for the Falkland Islands which Argentina did actually invade The Raj is the name for the British Empires rule over India The Crusades are a complicated series of military actions primarily aimed at recovering territory from Muslim invasion So two could use the word invasion - two most definitely could not Because the Raj is included you can’t even describe them as conflicts (1 year, 9 months ago)

RosyDanger @ #70499: Thank you...Fell has a lot of definitions in my dictionary. One of them is as an adjective meaning 'ferocious' or 'deadly', as in 'one fell swoop'. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Annie @ #70494: Wonderful grid, excellent fun! TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70494: Nice idea for a wall. Not too difficult though (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jason S @ #70505: In case anyone reads the comments before playing this, this is a German grid not an English language grid so you need to know your German to solve it! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70498: Nice wall. Failed to spot it was anagrams in the final group 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jason S @ #70499: Clever categories with good red herrings but I don't think fell fits into the category you've put it in, I've certainly never heard it used in that sense before (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70504: A whole wall based on knowledge of dogs? Really! And German appears twice in the grid. And Japanese ends with an 'e' (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #69747: Nice! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70488: Liked it (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70488: Not overly difficult once you spot the connections, but some nice crossovers and an original set of ideas. Good job, thanks for the wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70161: Nice grid overall. Some categories (Harry Potter, chess pieces, phonetic alphabet, Cluedo characters) have been done to death so try to avoid temptation unless you can use them in a novel way. Your use of Orchid as a distraction earns back some points but we don't want to see any more Cluedo groups. It's been done over and over and over! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70171: Nice ideas, I wasn't able to solve a single category but spotted all of the connections. This is due to some pretty niche references. Maybe swap out some of the esoteric entries for more generic references to make it more 'gettable'? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ludwig @ #70485: Really good grid! :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70484: This is an example of a fine wall. It took me all of 10 seconds to spot each and every connection but the rest of the time to actually solve it! And a clear and coherent theme. Thanks! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70481: It's quite difficult to take well established, unoriginal categories (dances, phonetic alphabet) and create an interesting and novel wall. Nice job. (1 year, 9 months ago)

SZUK @ #70467: @Ben Stark the mistake has been fixed (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70248: NIce ideas, I found it a little easy to solve. Be wary of using groups that are very common (the utensil group is used a lot in various forms - previously, this site was plagued with Harry Potter references! Avoid the trap) Some nice crossovers, the Peter group didn't jump out and took me to solve the others before I could spot it. Good effort overall, thanks for the grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #67380: Navy bean..? Sort it puzzgrid. Had filtered for uk grids. If its not presidents or state capitals its chuffin beans! 😱😂 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70485: I solved it in 30 seconds, spotted the connections very quickly. The 'rat' group formed itself through solving the other 3. But some nice categories and novel ideas. Good job. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #70483: Hmm, some nice ideas but a little lacking in execution. The 'palindrome' group aren't actually palindromes - a group of words that, when read backwards, form a new word. Palindromes read the same backward as they do forward (Madam, I'm Adam). The hidden word groups are fine but perhaps a little too deeply concealed? Ultimately, you want your audience to 'solve' your wall. As with cryptic crosswords, you want us to clap and appreciate your cunning. There's no fun in an unsolvable wall for the observer, regardless of the intellectual skill on display. An interesting wall, using familiar concepts. With refinement it could be an excellent wall. Such is the challenge of a puzzle setter. 8/10. (1 year, 9 months ago)

napawo @ #70438: @Malcontent - thanks for the feedback. I did worry that there was more than one solution, I thought I'd thought of everything but I've never heard of Hilary Brougher. I'll change it next chance I get. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70438: Great ideas and really tricky, but Hilary and Jane can be swapped over between their two groups (Jane Austen- author, Hilary Brougher- film director, rather than your designation of Hilary Mantel and Jane Champion), so there's more than one valid solution to the grid, which makes it unsolvable, except by pure luck, or being a mind-reader. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70432: Really clever, and great ideas, but doesn't work as there are multiple solutions to the grid, within the parameters of your group links.Neptune and Poseidon can be swapped between groups, as both are mythical figures in film titles and classical gods of the sea. Jupiter and Mars are both Disney characters, so could be swapped from the film titles group, with Pluto in the Disney character group as there are at least two films with Pluto in the title.

Rishikesh @ #70373: Depluralised sitcoms is a bit on the nose isn't it. just call it singular (1 year, 9 months ago)

mal @ #70318: solid, fun, nice to have at least one uncommon category (1 year, 9 months ago)

shagger @ #70372: meh (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #69678: That is a fair point. I should have known that the connection with Greta etc. would eventually no longer be valid as things change over time. (1 year, 9 months ago)

shagger @ #70374: Very poor - all complaints from shagger (1 year, 9 months ago)

shagger @ #69678: decent but I'm not a fan of the connection involving Greta Thunberg etc. (1 year, 9 months ago)

shagger @ #70359: 3 good connections, 4th is a stretch but I wouldn't be surprised if I saw it on Only Connect so can't complain really, nice work bro🇲🇰 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #70374: Can't say that was medium. Or I'm too tired. No complaints.⁰ (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tat @ #70322: Nickednames for musicians? ?????? So did not accept correct spelling (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #70373: Enjoyed this grid. A few quibbles. Hence a 3 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70339: Only one group was doable. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70352: Correct Little Woman to Little Women, and this grid would be quite good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #70287: V good, v yricky (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70365: Solved the grid in a minute, but only got two links. No idea how I managed to pick out the second group when I was totally wrong about the link. Very good. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70358: Not bad, but I think the difference between the two name groups is too slight. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #56053: Nice wall, apart from the typo (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #56051: Nice wall, clear groups. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70353: Couldn't sort the 'council' or 'be' groups (1 year, 9 months ago)

tiger king @ #70063: Good grid. My 9yr old claims that the Christmas category also works for birthday. After a quick google search I might agree with him. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70354: Tricky, unless you watch at least two of the programmes (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70356: Quite niche if you don't watch the specific programmes. Using Christian names is a bit generic & who is the chat show host called Johnathan? Coffee connection is a bit tenuous too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70353: Nice one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70333: Aaaargh. Horrible, but all the groups work and I can't find any 'swaps' between groups. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Matthew Thorpe @ #70217: Enjoyed it (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70331: Great grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70321: Thanks for the correction, Rahman. Should be fixed now. That’s what happens when I rush! (1 year, 9 months ago)

R @ #70307: Typed in "genres" for the music group but that wasn't sufficient: "genres of music"...? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70332: My heart sank when I first saw the grid, but it turned out to be easier than I’d expected. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Liz @ #70332: Cant believe I solved it and knew why too, just missed out on the last one, thought it might've been characters from The Office... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dan @ #70325: Only thing with telling us what the red herrings are is giving away the connection between groups we haven't worked out yet! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #70318: Lovely grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

GSQuizzes @ #70320: Just about managed to get 4g4c. Nice work! (1 year, 9 months ago)

DeejayC @ #70322: Edinburgh is misspelled. Didn’t accept “capital” for UK capital cities. Didn’t accept “managers” for people in charge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

J @ #70322: Edinburgh is misspelled. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70321: Sigh. A grid double-posted, so I hastily changed this one. Sorry for any confusion. Is there a way to delete one’s grids? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Geoff @ #70315: Harry Potter. Boo. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #70312: Nice and easy to solve, in half a minute, but with one tricky group I'd never heard of. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Toby @ #70290: Only Connect, here I come... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70265: Re the comments about the art of thinking - I solved the grid easily enough. Just seemed a bad category to have ingredients of a Mojito - it's not a category with a lot of possibilities. I've made them more than a few times! Just my 2 cents. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70300: Nice (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #57793: Weak connections. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #50480: Didn’t like it, French footballers, really?! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #45235: So you read a book about Presidents. Yawn. Niche interest grids shouldn’t be shared with the public. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #70182: It's like a job. (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70299: I respectfully disagree with the take that Superman and Cinderella are not necessarily orphans. It is a core part of their mythos and key to the most popular movies, books, representations etc. of their characters. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kristin @ #70306: Excellent. A lot of fun! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70299: Cinderella and Superman are not necessarily orphans, depending on versions (and who you consider superman's 'parents' to be). (1 year, 9 months ago)

Quizbeard @ #70288: Lovely grid - really enjoyed it! 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #70288: Not often I get 10/10 thought this was very good with some things best left a bit obscure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #70297: If you change Albania to Slovenia or Croatia, the connection could be that they were all formerly Yugoslavia. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jason S @ #70288: Enjoyed it, but agree with Mike - changing it to "smallest US coin" would help clarify it a bit (1 year, 9 months ago)

daxw @ #70247: Nice grid. Completing this one may help one with grid number 69721 :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #70294: I do not agree with Horatio. Myth and beast were sensible, if a bit easy. The other two were impossibly niche, unless you just happen to be a fan of horrible music, and a walking film encyclopedia. (1 year, 9 months ago)

E @ #69171: Bannanas are scientifically classified as Berries (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70268: Not a great film fan but should have got Spielberg group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70270: What is a spod? The only sensible category here was anoraks. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70271: Complete rubbish! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70272: Good wall, very difficult for me as never watched any of the TV shows & never heard of Roman Kemp 😂 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70300: Great grid. Thanks. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #70279: Tricky to get the final 2 groupings (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70281: Apart from the saxophone connection, nothing particularly wrong with this wall. It just didn't compute in my head. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #70297: Balkan Peninsula is a very specific answer..... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70283: Excellent wall - difficult but not impossible with no dodgy connections 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #70217: Interesting groups & red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70286: Great reset takeover? (1 year, 9 months ago)

datroof @ #70265: First, nice grid! Second, how disheartening it is to see so many dim-bulb "start my orange" complaints about how challenging the act of thinking is. I'm sure there are lots of things "you dunno", Arcadian. Maybe keep them to yourself. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70288: Unconventional, but interesting. (1 year, 9 months ago)

b @ #70279: 10/10 for me, which makes this an enjoyable grid. Plenty of golfers, but that was the limit of the red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

b @ #70248: Just fine (1 year, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #70265: Arcadian - i think you have literally just defined what a red herring is, which is a key component of making the walls interesting. Apologies that this hasnt met your high standards (1 year, 9 months ago)

aaron @ #70288: Harder than medium. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arcadian @ #70265: There's one huge problem with this grid - a key ingredient in mojito is lime, it's probably more important than sugar. So you can only get this right by figuring out what to leave out. How these bad grids get grid of the day I dunno. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cassandra Cassbow @ #70289: How am I supposed to know the creators favourite actor who played Sherlock Holmes?! What a ridiculous thing to add in! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #69639: I spent some time in Mozambique in the late 60s. Living in the woods with the rebels toughened my resolve. I killed a man with the pin of a grenade. I was seven years old. God I miss those days. Nowadays everyone is so weak and "woke". Nobody sends their child to fight in an insurgency unless they need to. My father, Lisbon the 4th, fought during Sherman's March to the Sea. He was an old man. Sincerely, Col. Lisbon Geaville V (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #69648: So close was I. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel but it was snatched away from me before I emerged. Now I remain in the darkness. Alone with my thoughts. One day...One day I will have my place in the sun. Yours truly, Lisbon Geaville (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70270: It is fine with a whacky category, but please limit it to one. Remember that people are working under time-pressure and decoding and matching 16 cells just isn't doable. Some of them should be something simple, say Madagascar, and that would still leave us wondering if it is the movie, the country, an island or what-not. We shouldn't start off by decoding 16 statements and only then trying to match them. Not under time-pressure. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Merk @ #70252: My mistake! Has been edited (1 year, 9 months ago)

NeedlinFred @ #70252: I'd question ADHD and ADD being classed as mental health disorders. They surely come under neurodivergence. Other than that, fun wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

N @ #70252: ADHD is not a mental health disorder! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Emma Linton @ #70253: I enjoyed that! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70251: 2 parts easy 2 parts not (at least fore). Well constructed. TY (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70240: Uncanny indeed??????? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Emma Linton @ #70250: Very nice. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #70249: Not sure one can be called a genre, or am I being picky? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Clubfootkid @ #70229: Try mixing it up and having a category that isn’t synonyms (1 year, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #70248: Looked simple initially, but contained a good amount of red herrings. Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Clubfootkid @ #70232: Blue? Really?! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70193: Not bad, but I don’t think the wordy group is quite fair - the revealed words should have some connection between them. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #70241: Don’t think that f****t should be used as a clue personally (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70240: "I think Endor is a planet as well as a moon in the Star Wars universe." It is a moon in the movies and a planet in the expanded universe. It would be too nerdy of me to insist on it being a planet. (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #70240: You are absolutely right. I will do a quick switcharoo. Thank you and sorry for the goof. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jason S @ #70240: A fun grid with some nice red herrings I think Endor is a planet as well as a moon in the Star Wars universe (1 year, 9 months ago)

St John @ #70222: Seasons greetings J (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70191: satisfactory grid, but last group reached: yawning is NOT a synonym for deep...a "yawning chasm" refers to the breadth at the top, not the depth of the chasm... and intense is a fairly obscure link to deep... (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70197: demanding plurals is the sign of an overpedantic setter (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70207: good grid...beat me a little (1 year, 9 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #70190: they are all just cities. Why not accept footballers? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70207: Nice work, even though I had to fall back on the old trick of 'all the words that start with C'. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70211: I've never heard of those authors even with their full names. A tad too obscure? Luckily it was just the leftover group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70211: Don’t know why this seems to have posted twice. Sorry. (1 year, 9 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70197: You should accept scream for the synonyms. Also I had never heard of one of the people. Which is not surprising because they are fictional. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sean @ #70183: Loved it and solved it. God knows how! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70209: Nice mix of high-brow and low-brow! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70199: Nice! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #70196: Not sure how well known the strong men are. Should accept 'loud exclamations hidden' for the other group. Still enjoyed this grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #70199: On the easy side. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #70199: Enjoyed this grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hal+Jam @ #70164: Good, original groups. (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70183: Great grid well done (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70184: How can “Allen” not be an answer for the line where the connection is the surname Allen? Such an absurd thing to disallow? Do better (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70185: The phrasing confused me, too, but so think it just means “can be preceded by free”. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70183: Very good. Nice concept. (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70185: Hi. What exactly does “words starting free” actually mean? Asking for a friend. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70185: Yes, I think that should be “plimsoll”, but it doesn’t spoil the grid, which is challenging but fair. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70186: Excellent. (1 year, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #70185: Hello My Right Honourable Chum, I haven't checked for alternative spelling but in UK English - not sure about Plimsole. Is that right? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #70186: Brilliant grid, love this (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #69403: Great grid with a shoal of red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

RosyDanger @ #70179: Excellent...thank you! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ethan Uyeda @ #70169: Countries should suffice. (1 year, 9 months ago)

M.mouse @ #70126: Bit harsh not to accept Chaucer (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70125: Great grid my dude (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #70172: Paul, I think only one of the song girls was in the bible, and that was Delilah. I don't remember Mandy or Roxanne popping up in any of the Sunday School stories! 🤣 The "man" line, doesn't allow "man" as an answer. (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #54971: very good, thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #70173: Nope, don't get the connections on the Buck line. Buck is slang for a dollar, but the other 3 seems to be CLUES to the slang words... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Arthur @ #70175: Good for music lovers but would have been better if you’d listed the song titles and artists (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70145: The word “Cosmetic” not being an acceptable answer sort of ruins it. I mean really. (1 year, 9 months ago)

gridlington @ #70178: Nice one! I got the confetti. Good red herrings! (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70172: The fact that your grid doesn’t allow “Man” as an answer to the “man” line ruins it. 2/10. You rushed it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cool bro @ #24775: Brilliant... (1 year, 9 months ago)

missinglynx @ #70152: Neat puzzle. We got 10 but felt pleasantly stretched in the process. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Pauline @ #70161: I don't remember an Orchid in Cluedo (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #47783: Awful. Niche knowledge required = bad grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70173: Nice ideas, but I dont think a penny is commonly referred to as Kaley, and I dont understand the 1/4=Room?? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #26046: Sorry, did not like it at all. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70172: Bible names and song names have at least 2 interchangeables, and the giants group doesnt really work as some being the name and some only half name... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70167: Nice groups, but need A LOT of work on accepted answers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #64141: Solved it… a little bit of a fluke! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #47756: Nice grid. Sporty had me fooled. (1 year, 9 months ago)

DrKnoNufink @ #70164: Point taken regarding what answers were acceptable, but why the agressive tone? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kies de Brink @ #58868: Wat leuk! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sean @ #55871: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #69799: Buff is a colour. Good grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70164: No, there’s a lot that’s good here, but there needs to be more latitude in how the connections are described - it didn’t accept “hog”, as opposed to “hogs”, for instance. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70163: Good grid, though the writers group feels a bit too non-specific. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70165: Very clever! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Sean @ #70164: Wow. Just so bad (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70164: -5 for (what should be) fruits. (1 year, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #70164: Line 1 doesn’t accept Dr? Line 2 doesn’t accept Hog? You’re wasting our time with this M8. Do better. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #70152: Some good red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #70161: I assume you mean Amoa?? Not really any crossovers... (1 year, 9 months ago)

James @ #129: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Roger Stone @ #69799: What color is contained within the word "rebuff"? This makes no sense to me and frankly, has me absolutely exasperated, irritated, vexated and annoyed. (1 year, 9 months ago)

James @ #70158: It’s The actors Lead Bros (1 year, 9 months ago)

James @ #70157: Try this it is so easy! My son did it and one of them is written by the author Max Brallier a book that my son reads so subscribe!!! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70152: Great grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #70155: Nice mix. Fairly easy but enjoyable anyway. (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #69896: Agree, all the Souths could also be Norths (1 year, 9 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #30596: Good wall but not too tricky. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #70153: In the toxin group, toxin itself is the only one which is a synonym for poison. (1 year, 9 months ago)

H @ #60276: Ditto re non-unique solution. Mercury, Venus, earth, Mars could be a group of inner or rocky planets, while the rest are outer planets or gas giants. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Bob a job @ #70152: Fairly easy but good crossovers (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #70088: Good grid, liked the Fry row You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #11259: If you're going to be pedantic (which you have a rep for) then they are states named after monarchs not royals ;-) Fun grid though (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70113: dull to write intimacies and not get marked up (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70114: Agreed...slapdash. To write earth wind and fire group name and not be marked was weird. "Male gay clans, types or self identifications" would have been better (these terms are not in lesbian use) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Milly Hunt @ #70146: Hard , but loving the theme well done Soph (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70145: Good point. It was actually that I had the C word (as it were) in plural, so without the final S it wasn’t recognised. Fixed now, I think. (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70145: you hung one on the word brands, not the defining C word...so--- C companies fails, or even the definingC word alone...come on ...please! Your grids are better than this ! (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70125: Great grid, missed one connection (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70126: easier than medium (1 year, 9 months ago)

peter stubbs @ #70140: Good wall.... smooth n simple (1 year, 9 months ago)

Myname @ #36761: Some of the clips are too long. By the time you've listened to everything there's only a few minutes left (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70140: Good grid. Nice work. (1 year, 9 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #70139: some nice ideas but the Aomoa one doesn't work (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #69948: I really liked this one. Lots of red herrings. I could see what all the groups were, but getting them to fit was a challenge. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #69920: I enjoyed that one. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Hen @ #70134: Good grid thanks but please can "make up brands" be allowed as well as "cosmetics brands"? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #70113: The red herrings you have were in the groups. Unless you are referring to the complete rock/metal red herring group? (1 year, 9 months ago)

bert @ #46365: shame "synonym" isnt allowed for one of the lines (1 year, 9 months ago)

Clubfootkid @ #70107: The keywords have not been set-up correctly for these and they are too sparse. Poorly created. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Seán @ #70110: Thank you for the kind comments. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #70114: Sloppy - 'gays' without any obvious link or explanation; to use a conjunction 'and' as part of a linked set is not within the spirit of the original (1 year, 9 months ago)

Shane @ #70063: 6 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Laura Cox @ #70069: I'll always have parts of this sort of thing that are complete guesses for me because I'm not a very knowledgeable person. Love that this exists, though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #69874: Your Storage are all in items of furniture so that should be included and it was Le Havre unless it has transitioned. I presume Gerry went to those places by Ferry? (1 year, 9 months ago)

B @ #18485: How can you have the Kubler-Ross stages of grief and not accept Kubler-Ross? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #69965: Really good idea, but for a connecting wall you just had to connect all the wines, all the news and so on. It would make a great missing vowels round though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

missinglynx @ #70110: Very enjoyable (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #70060: Too many other things the colour seas group could be (and have been in other grids here : colours, snooker balls etc) I understand the red herrings for teas and the blue in depressed, but it's way the weakest group in an otherwise enjoyable grid... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #70063: Nice and easy but good mixers (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter stubbs @ #70064: Good wall .. hard to associate, easier to guess associations! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cam Wilcox @ #70101: Hello what a nice grid, cheers xoxox (1 year, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #70093: A hard but enjoyable one! Never heard of faces though which had me really stuck. Would flowers give me a point for one of the group? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #70095: Mac group and organ group are ridiculously obscure. Did anybody get them? Last is synonymous with endure, not durability, and final, not finally. I do not see how it could be synonymous with either of the other two. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #70037: Enjoyed the red herrings. Hadn't heard of diet in that context (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lee @ #70050: I entered "space probes" for the "NASA missions", which was rejected, in spite of it being arguably more accurate. Perhaps "NASA space probe missions" might be a better catch-all. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #70068: Good, although not familiar with 'birdhouse', which threw me a little. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Me @ #70060: The colours (Black, Yellow, Red and Green) seem to be rather arbitrarily 'seas'. There's no real indication that they are supposed to be anything else but colours, except for the fact that otherwise black/white would be exchangeable with green tea. But then, there's also a movie called "Green Sea', so even then it would be somewhat arbitrary, except that the other 'seas' are actual bodies of water. So, yes, it works after a fashion, but it's a bit inelegant. (1 year, 9 months ago)

DH @ #70069: delightful (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jonathan @ #70060: I put colours instead of seas! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #69642: Merry Christmas, Pookman. Thanks (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #33367: A lot of effort for a decent wall. A couple of the links don't quite stack up, but not wildly out either (1 year, 9 months ago)

war2wall @ #69165: sorry if being overly pedantic but... 1) Hawaii isn't an island, it's a chain of islands. Bit confusing since the others are solitary islands. 2) "Clog dancing" is just step-dancing with clogs on. Is it really a dance in its own right? (Imo, no it is not) 3) A saddle shoe is a form of Oxford shoe (they're basically the same), so having them both as separate entities is a bit confusing. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #68925: Good, but retched doesn't work as a homophone for wretched, and I've never seen that American spelling of vice before. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Horatio @ #69543: Please, please no more Nato phonetic alphabet - it has been done to death, too easy and not remotely original. (1 year, 9 months ago)

James @ #68563: That was a good grid. Thanks bro (1 year, 9 months ago)

James @ #69276: That was absolutely amazing. You are the best creator. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Philly C @ #69489: Didn’t get the presidents. Great grid thi (1 year, 9 months ago)

Philly C @ #69543: Annoyed by the films. Just numbers not 7 as I did. Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #69522: I was rubbish at this grid but a great one all the same - thanks! (1 year, 9 months ago)

JDP @ #69523: Lost a few points for correct answers. James or Jim also works for Capaldi and 'Honest' is a correct answer for the 'Straight' group. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Daxw @ #69515: I quite liked this one. Only 1 quibble - the Kray clue is more like 'Ronnie Ray'. Good fun though. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Daxw @ #69502: Sorry! Does now (1 year, 9 months ago)

Joni @ #69506: Nice……. (1 year, 9 months ago)

David @ #69524: Bad grid. All words have nine letters? Words have the same letter repeated 3 times. Not good connections at all. (1 year, 9 months ago)

St John @ #69515: Beautifully mangled (1 year, 9 months ago)

Aaron @ #69520: Superbly put together. 10s all round. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kristin @ #69503: Good grid and nice red herrings (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kristin @ #69504: Never heard of any of the Barbarian group (not my area), but loved the rest of the grid. Good red herrings. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Moondog @ #69509: Architrave is part of the frame, not part of the door itself. Likewise lintel is is part of the surrounding support framework. Hinge, keyhole, handle, knob, frame, panel and moulding could all be considered. Not complaining as I got all the groups, but for future reference this comment might be useful. (1 year, 9 months ago)

cat fan @ #57736: so true re:previous comment (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #58349: If it's an Alley cat, why is it spelt Allie in the grid? The slap & zip groups are a bit off too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #58350: The take group is difficult as three of them are 'take a' rather than just 'take' (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #54468: Good grid, did wonder about Maria Avenue. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #54471: Didn't get the Play 'group' until the groups were sorted. Took a while to get the tables too. Good wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69488: Donner party? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69489: Only picked two groups 🤦 but got all four connections. Nice wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #69493: needs an edit (1 year, 9 months ago)

Michelle @ #69474: Really good grid ☑️ (1 year, 9 months ago)

James+Finster @ #69488: Nice job! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #69499: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #69493: There are many other things that are green. Bowling? Putting? Gage? Tea? Party? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #69477: I think you need to fix the answer to the category that includes Michael. I typed the main key word and it didn't register. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #69285: I guessed 'magazine' and 'betting' for the category that included 'Multiply' and it said that I was correct! I don't think I was. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Martin East @ #68858: Think you should allow the answer "Curries" (1 year, 9 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69496: Nice grid, but you need to put the actual connection in the explanations. I still don't understand the "Lady" row? Or the "Stonehenge" row. And the "Vernon" row explanation is incomplete. (1 year, 9 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69489: Nice grid. Some nice crossovers. I had never heard of Flint and you don't explain (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69491: Nice grid. I scored 10,but didn't really get the link for the Mad Men group. Great ideas, nice and logical. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69480: Loved the Death group. Thought the Koufax group had one too many steps of logic between the clues and the answer.The homophones group is a bit of a stretch, and at least one of them definitely isn't a homophone of the word specified in the explanation. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69378: Nice, if extremely samey, ideas, but the grid doesn't work, as there's at least one pair of answers that can be swapped over between groups. Falsettos and Falsettoland are both composed by Finn and written by Lapin (in fact one of them is actually act two of the other), so they're interchangeable and the grid has at least two, equally valid, solutions. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69489: Lovely and straightforward. Nice ideas. (1 year, 9 months ago)

V @ #69483: (1 year, 9 months ago)

daxw @ #69493: Nice one. Perhaps find another green clue to replace one of the 'with envy' clues? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69444: Take, look, break and make could also be followed by out, or away, and probably quite a few other words. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68008: Good wall 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68009: All good groups, no tenuous links 👍 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68011: No clue whatsoever on what two of the four groups were. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Michelle @ #68750: Interesting 🥸 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Lateral @ #69480: Merilee Rush, Juice Newton and The Pretenders may not agree it is an obscure song. Was top 10 and also Grammy nominated. Sandy Koufax is well known in baseball and was Sportsman of the Year. Good point about Yankees Cordova, will add that. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68013: Pressing luck? Never heard of Dark Man or Slender Man? (1 year, 9 months ago)

Michelle @ #68752: challenging but fun 💕 (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68014: Good wall, failed on the policeman link as never watched 3 of the 4 shows (1 year, 9 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69480: Nice grid but another one I felt with the wrong flag. The "The Morning" one is VERY obscure and as for Koufax ... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Cordova @ #69480: The Baseball question should have accepted the New York Yankees as an answer as they all played for the Yankees. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #69469: Loved it! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68017: Never heard of Bart Bear either, but good wall. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #69473: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 9 months ago)

jimmy mcballman @ #68802: too easy (1 year, 9 months ago)

jimmy mcballman @ #68813: I think you should reuse categories from other grids less, e.g. the 12 days of christmas (1 year, 9 months ago)

daxw @ #69470: Nice. Didn't see the 'oo' link - good one! (1 year, 9 months ago)

kaikell @ #69461: Oops, sorry, yes - corrected! (1 year, 9 months ago)

daxw @ #69464: Thanks IanB, changed it now (1 year, 9 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #69464: Good grid (1 year, 9 months ago)

IanB @ #69464: Should be 'followed by' Dutch, not 'preceded by' (1 year, 9 months ago)

daxw @ #69423: Nice grid. I somehow didn't see the 'hot' connection (1 year, 9 months ago)

V @ #69425: Thanks for feedback-my 1st go. Fixed errors! Should work better now (1 year, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #60689: Quite good, except for the crap wordplay with Pride. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60545: Awful. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69426: Not great. Interesting ideas, but two groups are painfully obscure, and one of them is pretty arbitrary & nebulous. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69462: Very good, but is Hi-De-Hi a single word? (1 year, 9 months ago)

daxw @ #69461: The answer to third row is 'private' not 'dancer'. Nice grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69425: Good ideas, but not a valid grid. It's Drey, not dray,so Drayton needs to be changed,or misspelled for the group to work. The DLR Station is King George V not 'Kings George V' - the typo needs to be corrected for the group to be valid (also it looks deliberately done to include a hidden word, which it isn't). The keywords must be over strict - herb spice and Underground were both rejected as answers. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69429: Lovely,and straightforward, logical connections, nice variety of groups, with a couple of red herrings to make it interesting. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Shane @ #69429: (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #58725: Few obvious overlaps and the made group needed more actual words in it (1 year, 9 months ago)

kaikell @ #69435: Hehe Handel is providing his services as a red herring! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #69444: Bit of a shambles...the Up group would also work with Out as suffix so not a unique combo; The spin group - two of those words are preceded by Spinning, not spin (1 year, 9 months ago)

Stuart @ #23411: Superb grid!! Would love more. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #69429: The rare "very easy but still satisfying" grid. Thanks for setting (1 year, 9 months ago)

Enzed @ #69444: The look, break, take, make group can also be followed by out (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ludwig @ #69440: Excellent grid! Really enjoyed it. :) (1 year, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #69429: I kicked myself for not getting the roma line. Always the sign of a good wall. Excellent grid. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69347: Don't know enough about films and their directors! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69351: You're a bit stuck on this one if you don't follow wrestling! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #69352: Sorted the groups, failed on the last two connections. Good grid tho'. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kristin @ #69440: Fun grid. Very hard for me to get a foothold with all the red herrings, but once I did, it clicked. That's as it should be. (1 year, 9 months ago)

rawbee @ #69429: Really good! Prima category was beyond me but got it by default. Loved including the red herrings in your answer summaries - I may start doing that. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69367: Some good ideas, and a nice mix of links, there were over specific link terms for three groups which had essentially pretty vague links. I still don't understand the link for the Rembrandt group, after reading the explanation five times. (1 year, 9 months ago)

spikethecat @ #69357: Great grid. Thanks. I think your "Linux" group would be great if it could accept "software" too. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Moondog @ #69394: All from the group Hal, Marvin, Rosie and T-1000 could be classified as AI's. Hal was not a robot however. Rosie, Marvin and the T-1000 had human form and mobility. Hal had mobility in space and intelligence, but could not be classified as a 'Robot' Hal was a classic disembodied AI with limited control within the environment it was designed to control. The others had humanoid bodies, intelligence and the freedom to interact with all humanity on Planet Earth without being limited to simply being in control of an interplanetary vessel and only interacting with very few humans. With that in mind, I simply cannot accept Hal is even a very limited robot (due to it's 'body' being only a spacecraft) Hal is a pure A.I. and embodies the paranoid supposition tha A.I. will be more intelligent than humans and seek to supplant them in order to gain an advantage. Scary sounding, but if HAL was only in control of one interplanetary spacecraft, then even if it eliminated the humans and took control, it would only be in control of a single interplanetary craft. No threat to humanity, even if it decided to suicide itself as a kinetic harpoon aimed at either the most populous urban centre on Earth, or the most influential conurbation. Hal simply is not a robot, even though it has a 'body' and autonomous control of that body, The other named robots as they had humanoid bodies and A.I. could potentially have influenced human culture, or even with pure force or camoflaging distractions or technology completely taken over human domination of Earth. Hal could never pass as human, the rest of the robots could possibly have managed it. I refer you to Karel Capek, Isaac Asimov, and to a lesser extent Fritz Lang as proponents of the true robot. Many have copied their work since then, but few have ever improved on the original idea. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Moondog @ #69406: Whale Oil Beef Hooked is possibly the most tenuous and lateral thinking answer that ever made complete sense to me when it was explained.

Malcontent @ #69377: Nice ideas, but it needs severe editing to work as a valid grid, as several answers can swap with each other between groups, which makes it unsolvable except by pure luck/being the setter. I'll give a few examples. Falsettos and Falsettoland (which is actually act two of Falsettos), were both composed by Finn, and written by Lapin, so can swap between those two groups. In the Heights won the Tony for best musical, so could swap over from the movie group, with Annie , or Phantom. (1 year, 9 months ago)

JEREMY @ #55103: Really weak. Same connection (initials) for all the group, so no variety and half of the clues are never known by those initials. (1 year, 9 months ago)

M mouse @ #69274: Tartare sauce group. Other group could also be comedians (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69213: Some some good ideas, but some really vague, badly defined groups and links, and others that were very obscure and overspecific. Difficult to see how anyone who didn't actually compile the grid, would get more than a couple of points (1 year, 9 months ago)

Moondog @ #69273: Perfection. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Moondog @ #69274: Almost perfection. One single group requires far more knowledge than most intelligent people can supply to score a perfect ten on the grid. Not a major criticism, just a small one. Apart from that very, very good. Congratulations on keeping me from a perfect score with a perfectly reasonable, but possibly obscure reference. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69283: Great fun. Solved the grid in about forty five seconds, but know nothing of sport, so the final link escaped me. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Michel @ #69171: fun - but the groups are not unique. So you could swap Peach and Orange or Plum and still end up with correct 4 groups (1 year, 9 months ago)

William @ #69196: Arcadian, thank you for the feedback. I actually agree with you on using both before and after-words. I also don't like when there is a hidden word inside a word as opposed to at the beginning or end. I made an exception because it is a name, not just a word. With words your thinking has to be much more lateral to come up with the correct answer, whereas with a name I find myself it is much more straight forward. It is (to me at least) easier to find the four Peter or Roberts, than it is to find the four words that find with -cation, so with names I don't mind upping the challenge a bit. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Ragman @ #69178: Equinox has nothing to do with specious nonsense.... (1 year, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #69160: It is time palindromes, especially racecar and kayak were retired- have been used too often, I'm afraid. Otherwise good grid! (1 year, 9 months ago)

Smoky Oat Cakes @ #69166: Do you mean Alfred the Great? Arthur was pretty great, but not Great. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Anthony @ #69163: Difficult but very good. Thank you (1 year, 9 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #69169: Clever but hard and I put in the correct answer for 3 of them and it wouldn’t let me have it. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Kenzie @ #69168: Nice grid, but you misspelled ALADDIN. (1 year, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #69171: Super fun and quite easy if you want to do an easy one ☺️ (1 year, 9 months ago)

Birdwards @ #69065: Great work - I really enjoyed this one! A couple notes: - "Mancala" is typically only spelled with one L. - It could be argued that "country singers" is a valid alternative answer for Swift/Collins/Taylor/McGraw. When I saw those names, I immediately thought of Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw, and James Taylor (who is technically more folk than country, but he's hit the country charts a couple times). I didn't know of a country singer named Collins, but I looked it up and there are a few (Tommy Collins seems like the best-known of these, but perhaps still too obscure for a Puzzgrid). Now that I know what the intended answer is, I agree that Phils are the stronger connection. All four Phils are definitely notable (although darts doesn't make its way into the USA enough for me to know any players). I guess it's just a risk that comes with having surnames as clues.

Midge @ #68691: Excellent, thank you. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66297: @mal paeony is the original unamericanised spelling. Thanks for pointing out that I made a mistake in wording my link though- in should have said 'contain' not 'end in'. It would have accepted a valid answer anyway, so made no difference to points earned. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #69157: Good grid! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Meh @ #69154: @leaf it's infinitely less tenuous than a many other connections I've seen on here, and it doesn't create crossovers that would make the grid not work. I admit it's the weakest of the groups in this grid though. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #69161: Nice one, good set of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 10 months ago)

leaf @ #69154: adding a particular letter to get another random word isn't really a connection... (1 year, 10 months ago)

Arcadian @ #69161: Good grid, pretty handy with one very nice set of clues! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Pete @ #69144: Loved this, not too difficult but varied clues. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69154: Good ideas for each group, but not a great grid. One group was almost too obvious, and three were heavily word based, so a bit samey. Having two groups of anagrams of similarity themed items made it really tricky to do in the time, mainly because solving six anagrams takes so long. (1 year, 10 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #69127: Nice grid! (1 year, 10 months ago)

LD @ #69148: Spelling error - on your chocolate round (and topic is always singular). Otherwise nice grid - Lots of good red herrings (1 year, 10 months ago)

LD @ #69147: Lovely anagrams, I am not sure that all the parks could be described as famous! Very challenging (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #69134: Enjoyed this grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #69143: Enjoyed it. But, you should accept more connections. For example, in the Carl group, I used male. In the Dover group, I put, " Include a bird" and it was rejected. Still a fun grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Arcadian @ #69129: Good stuff - by elimination got the 4 groups and figured out the more tricky one at the end!! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kinsey @ #69133: Good, except for the tract group. I didn't like that it could be before or after. Ditto the jungle group, but in that case the connection was more obvious. (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #69128: Hmm... the virgin group is a bit samey, 3 of them being Branson's company. May be "virgin snow", "Virgin river" or even "virgin -ia". (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #69129: The reindeer group was good. Completely threw me off the Thursday group! (The moons group was a bit niche, though). You'll never please all the people so don't worry about Ronny and other detractors. Good grid on the whole! (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #69124: Who are the 32-tear-old celebrities? Taylor Swift? Emma watson? Lost after that. And they'll be 33 soon. (1 year, 10 months ago)

DLT (The DJ, not the sandwich) @ #69130: Top of the Pops! :-) (1 year, 10 months ago)

The Rat Catcher #3 @ #69130: I once saw a panda in Greenland. It was wearing my favourite t-shirt and eating a fried egg. I also once saw a giraffe eating leeks, but it wasn't in Chile. It was in Argentina. Cat's can't eat mushrooms. Well...they can. But they shouldn't. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #69098: Loved the wombles reference! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tez @ #69130: My mate Gav once stole a porcupine from a petting zoo! Honestly. He just picked it up, hid it under his jacket, and walked out the gate. A bit of a laugh at the time, but it turns out they are vicious little blighters, and they absolutely stink. He soon got bored with it, so just left it on his neighbour's door step. True story. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Laura Keunsberg @ #69130: Yes! This is more like it. Well done. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gloveman @ #69130: The chair of the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association resigned over "absolutely mad" plans by UK Sport to change how winter sports are run, the BBC has learned. Proposals being considered by the funding agency would involve removing elite programmes from governing bodies and handing them over to a "single, purpose-built organisation". In a concept paper seen by the BBC, it is argued this new organisation would provide a "greater return on investment and reduction in risk for UK Sport". UK Sport said it has a "responsibility to continually seek new ways to best support Britain's athletes", adding it has and will "continue to consult with the relevant sports". But Joanna Poulton recently resigned over what she says are "laughable" plans that would jeopardise the future viability of governing bodies. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Liam @ #69123: Maybe accent English footballers for that clue! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Swinton @ #69098: Loved this, especially the Wombles reference! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #69115: Some of the homophones are just too far away to be good. I know the Americans might pronounce calf like caff but Harem? Surely not. I'd worked out one of the groups so was really looking for more but these, as well as toe and eye, were beyond me. (1 year, 10 months ago)

MrFish @ #69098: Good grid, the 'Wombling Free' clue doesn't quite work as it's missing a word. (1 year, 10 months ago)

MrFish @ #69097: Great grid. The colour is a nice addition really, as it narrows it down a bit. I think the whole point of this grid is that there are a few red herrings! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68374: Well thought out. Couldn't see the fourth in three groups until the answers were revealed. (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #69073: Thank you for the feedback. I should have called the category food-preparation. My bad. I'll do better next time. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #69097: The colour is totally irrelevant and should not be required, especially as the one other that could fit also uses the same colours. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mike Wakeman @ #68367: Apart from the spelling errors - Ecuador not Equador & Redknapp not Rednap - OK. Although the World Cup teams are also countries & won't always be in the world cup. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Liam @ #69050: Baffles me people are calling this good. Far too subjective and Wales is “something you can sit on?” Not at all gettable. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Danielle @ #69050: I once sat on Wales. I did not enjoy it one bit. :-( (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ronnie @ #69050: Whats the problem, Staceytwinkle? Thighs can often be smooth. You can sit on Wales. I don't see what your issue is.... (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kevin Eleven @ #69050: Generally, a good grid. Couple of points though - the bath wasn't invented by John Bath. (I think it was actually Brian Tub) Also, Mary Berry was born in Canterbury, not Chelmsford. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Biscuit Boy @ #69050: Excellent. Why can't all grids be as good as this one? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #69050: What am I missing… things that are smooth? Things you can sit on!? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Will.I.Am @ #69050: Good grid. The penguin group had me stumped though. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ronnie @ #69028: Not for me. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Liam @ #69046: Very good grid. The idea of streets never occurred to me (1 year, 10 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #69043: Fun grid, which I enjoyed solving, but Mist is does not belong in that group. It is explicitly not what the link is supposed to be. Perhaps the link could be better described. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Shane @ #69028: Fun (1 year, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #69028: Anagrams, my old nemesis. Fun grid. (1 year, 10 months ago)

DH @ #69010: Cool grid, too tough for me, cheers (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69016: Really good. If I were going to nitpick, I'd say cotton and fur could actually swap places/groups, as could denim and velvet, but it didn't affect me, because the cotton group was the first I solved. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69018: Nice grid, interesting groups. Choice doesn't really make a well known phrase with the link word. It could easily be swapped with minute (or even place), into their groups, it would fit just as well there, and either one would work just as well as it does in its place, which means the grid doesn't really work. It was good fun though. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #69040: Great. Nice and simple to solve the grid, but one really obscure link. Very interesting. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sredni @ #69040: Really good. One VERY obscure line! Interesting, though. Thanks. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sredni @ #69036: Didn’t solve a single line…but then got all of the connections. That probably makes it the perfect grid! Great stuff! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tyler @ #68912: I like this one! The "country for old men" was a giveaway for that group, which lets you get started quickly, but then the rest of it isn't overly easy. nicely done (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tyler @ #68944: am i the only one who thought of the fairly odd parents song? actually "giant snake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake" might make a good group for a wall (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68980: Thank you. Others may find it too easy ( and are bizarrely rude enough) to tell you but not everyone sees the connections so easily. It’s nice to have grids for all not just people with obscure knowledge. Thank you I enjoyed it. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #68929: TWW connection made me smile. Thank you! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gridlington @ #68927: I don't think E-Street really fits with the group because you have to add the word "band" after it. "Attractions", "Muffins", "Destroyers", "Crickets", "Mothers of invention", "supremes", "waves", "ants" would all work.... (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sir Huffington Cracker-Bong @ #68266: Dear sir, Most excellent puzzle replete with devilish red herrings but clearly idealized results that fills one with joy, glee and gaiety, kinds of which are only found when thoroughly stimulated in all the lobes of one's cranium by exquisite problem-solving, as eloquently elucidated by your enigmatic yet energizing and entreating ensemble of esoteric mumbo jumbo. In brief, splendidly done! Yours &c, Sir Huffington, KG (1 year, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #68843: Quick boast - my son was in the **** Duel, an extra in a five person scene with Matt Damon and Jodie Comer. Not just because of his 15 second cameo, this is the best film nobody has seen. Woefully under-promoted, it is a thrilling and clever story told very well. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #68756: Nice and cheesy.! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68712: Me too missed out on the Rox (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #68749: No (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68431: Good grid (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #68750: Sun bites, no I'm not having that. Also injuries one needs more options for answer. (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #68753: Wordle starters, poor connection. And what is RGS? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Somau5 @ #68711: Categories shouldn't have been so specific - it wasn't obvious that they were football teams specifically in London, and countries that had specifically won the world cup. I typed in football teams and European countries - that should have been enough. (1 year, 10 months ago)

MereNovice @ #68717: Thanks both. I appreciate the feedback. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Helen Veronica Sida-Page @ #68318: Lovely wall (1 year, 10 months ago)

Lily @ #68722: Good solid grid, ty. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #47080: Brilliant grid (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68426: Great grid (1 year, 10 months ago)

RacheInPeak @ #68717: Groups were quick to find, but the link for the last group (Le etc.) eluded me! Very nice. (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #68737: No spoilers, but... It was about time somebody did that thing you did with that thing that get used a lot. Good job. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ben New @ #68710: Very good. Love it. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #68739: Nice one, I remember all of the Ham row (yes I am that old) 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #68739: Re Lard: Wikipedia is with me on this one. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #68739: Great grid, although Lard isn't a correct member of the Pork cuts group... (1 year, 10 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #68717: I liked this. Annoyed I didn't get the Le group. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hmm @ #68733: Toilet roll… (1 year, 10 months ago)

Mal @ #68733: Great grid, fun and good red herrings! Just one thing - I entered "up" as the connection for the blue group (I'd wrongly made the connection for let up and give up but not the others) and I got the point for it - I don't know if you can make the range of acceptable answers for that more narrow? But thought I'd give you the heads up. Thanks for sharing this grid! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #68731: What? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sean @ #68719: Far too vague (1 year, 10 months ago)

Glumpy @ #68696: Was fun! Thanks. JHo - definitely ‘waitING list’. ‘Wait-list’ sounds like some peculiar Americanism (like bell pepper- which did work in this context tbf). (1 year, 10 months ago)

MereNovice @ #68704: Very nice Queen red herring. (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #68622: Good one Plod! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Gemma @ #68694: Really liked this one - I put in Rogers/Rodgers so all good! Didn't get the other 3 but enjoyed trying. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #68710: Nice and easy grid Maybe allow Scottish cities Thanks for posting (1 year, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #68711: Nice one Couple of typos, Engalnd and Mazipin but didn't detract from the grid. Thanks for posting (1 year, 10 months ago)

Zak @ #68685: Fun one, 'Parties' didn't get me the connection though. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #68712: Good grid. Got the lot bar the Rox row. 10-7 to you Thanks for posting (1 year, 10 months ago)

war2wall @ #68685: please put "parties" as a link, other than that v good! (1 year, 10 months ago)

MattH @ #68696: Very clever, and it is definitely Wait List so don't listen to JHo (1 year, 10 months ago)

JHo @ #68696: waitING list not wait list (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul Redmond @ #64922: It's Roald Dahl, not DHAL :-) (1 year, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #68695: Excellent grid, started out thinking I was going to fail and then ended up with 10/10. Perfect difficulty (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68661: Really good (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68668: Very clever but extremely difficult. My main issue was the last one was near impossible to describe. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #68695: Nice ty (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #67177: Into The Woods is a ridicously succesful musical that been running for almost 40 years. It falls under general knowledge. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #51942: Very good, clever (1 year, 10 months ago)

Kristin @ #68694: Fun. FYI, Aaron spells his name Rodgers (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #68662: I think it was well thought through, but I found most of the links too obscure to see even after the grid resolved. I only sorted the Blue group, which was very pleasing. (1 year, 10 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #68685: Nice grid (1 year, 10 months ago)

benj @ #68694: Nile is Rodgers (1 year, 10 months ago)

PJ @ #68685: Not sure that "waters" doesn't work for that one group. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #68685: Great. Can't believe I didn't see the Northern group! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Alex @ #68310: So good (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #67177: What the bloody hell is 'Into the woods'? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Eugene @ #68635: Collective noun wasn’t accepted as a connection, but it’s literally what the connection is… (1 year, 10 months ago)

mal @ #68661: Easy but fun, nice to have some different categories too (1 year, 10 months ago)

MereNovice @ #68687: Nice. Thanks. (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #67374: Not just river crossings. Ferry across sea usually, ford across stream etc. (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #68444: Allow synonyms for clever. (1 year, 10 months ago)

MereNovice @ #68683: Nice. Good red herring with the pop groups. (1 year, 10 months ago)

David @ #68680: You need to extend your answers synonyms for any of the choice i.e. heaven should be accepted. Also, musical groups, 90s is a bit specific. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68379: TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68457: Even Movie buff had difficulty here. :) (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #68685: Good work. Thanks. (1 year, 10 months ago)

MereNovice @ #68685: A bit easier than your normal ones, I think. You took pity on us! Good fun. Thanks. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68484: My only problem is trans fat foods. VG, TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68573: Punching above your weight on this one. Me? 2/10. Thinking Prowse played the Green X code man, shoulda have taken this further. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68643: You found my Achilles heel. 7/10 for me on this one, you led me a merry dance (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68661: Too,too easy for me. I thank you. P.S I don't think Tintin was that funny 🤣 (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68683: Nice one Billie, confetti time (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #68683: A little easy for an Australian!! But top marks all the same. Very nice! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #68662: Every group was ridiculously obscure. Worst grid I have seen for a long time. (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #68683: Tasmania became an Australian state in 1901. Flynn was born in 1909. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Herb @ #68648: "Flash ball" is awfully esoteric. Bread and Green beans just being 'food' is disappointing. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #68683: Flynn was Tasmanian. (1 year, 10 months ago)

MereNovice @ #68668: Very challenging and educational. Clearly, a lot of effort went into this. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daniel bagheri @ #55828: It was nice but was a bit difficile (1 year, 10 months ago)

Poo poo @ #55828: Poo poo (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wordle? @ #68682: A bit harsh not to allow "chocolate" as a key word for the "Flake" line. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Hal+Jam @ #68668: Agree with William. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Paz @ #68680: yiu stupid pehnchod thendi gaandu. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Alex @ #65343: Lol Jesus (1 year, 10 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #68664: Thank you so much for the constructive criticism. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Staceytwinkle @ #68655: Great grid. It’s pretty common to say your sauce has split. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #68663: Finally a good one well done! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #68664: one of the worst ones since forever... (1 year, 10 months ago)

Sean @ #68655: Not bad. And yes, you can split a sauce (1 year, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #52507: Words that read the same forwards and backwards are palindromes - which is what I put but it marked me wrong. More research needed here! (1 year, 10 months ago)

rawbee @ #68668: Sorry to hear that but appreciate the feedback. I know it is a very difficult puzzle - but the biggest barrier is knowing the perfect numbers. Once that is solved, there are no decoys to the 5, 50, and 500 matches and they are all at least somewhat common pop cultural references. If you don't know perfect numbers, you do have to deal with several red herrings and looking for the proper matches in three minutes is indeed challenging. (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #68668: I always ask myself before I post; would I be able to get it if I saw this grid with fresh eyes and was given 150 seconds? Would I at the very least acknowledge that I should have gotten it once I see the answer? I appreciate the contribution, but on a tight time-limit this grid is near impossible to solve. (1 year, 10 months ago)

cat fan @ #63258: loved the cats! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Stacks @ #68622: One of the best. (1 year, 10 months ago)

rawbee @ #68668: Way different from what I normally submit. I hope it is on the right side of the fun/maddening line. Please read the descriptions of the connections. I didn't just pull these numbers out of thin air! (1 year, 10 months ago)

Shane @ #68663: Enjoyed that (1 year, 10 months ago)

Shane @ #68661: Fun (1 year, 10 months ago)

rawbee @ #68646: Very good! Caught on to the gimmick right away but still had fun figuring out the exact connections. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #68637: Good grid but sigh isn't a homophone of a Greek letter. Ksigh would be a homophone of Xi. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #68656: I spotted the red herring song group first, then realised there were only three things that fitted. Good. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #68646: I was in two minds there mixed up but all square in the end. TY (1 year, 10 months ago)

BinDipper @ #68641: Typical of life, I'd say we need fewer "things that..." connections. Pays yer money. (1 year, 10 months ago)

J @ #68647: This wasn't bad just a bit easy ty (1 year, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #47879: There’s an error here- crotchet is a musical term not connected with craft. The word should have been crochet. Does no one check these things? (1 year, 10 months ago)

Tyler @ #68622: i put "organ" but i don't know if the "blue thirsty" answer would be considered an organ to be honest (1 year, 10 months ago)

The repetition of Storm would only have been a problem if the two Storms had belonged to different groups, which would invalidate the grid. I thought this was a pretty good grid overall (1 year, 10 months ago)

gridlington @ #68474: Hmm... having a repeated word in the grid is generally considered bad form. You won't see it on "Only Connect". And a bug is not a "type" of insect - it's another generic name that means the same as insect. (1 year, 10 months ago)

William. @ #68301: Allow me to explain myself and if I did something wrong, I'll happily stand corrected. I am just not convinced, at least not yet, that I did something wrong. There are six correct answers for the A group. Five correct answers for the B group. Four correct answers for the C group. Five correct answers for the D group. Once the four correct answers for the C group, the only possible solution, is removed, there are only four correct answers left for the D group. Once the four remaining correct answers for the D group, the only remaining possible solution, is removed, there are only four correct answers left for the B group. Once the four remaining correct answers for the B group, the only remaining possible solution, is removed, there are only four answers left for the A group and they happen to be the correct ones. If I have done something wrong, I do want to know about it, but from your reply I simply don't understand what i have done wrong. If I understand it correctly the key is that there is only one correct solution where all sixteen answers are solved into four categories and, as long as that is so, you can have as many answers you like that fit into one category. I'd be happy to listen and learn. (1 year, 10 months ago)

William @ #68301: "2 groups with the same answer?!" There are no two groups with the same answer. "As well as others that could fit in those groups." Those are red herrings. While multiple answers fit into one group, there is only one combination of answers that allow you to have four answers that fit each distinct description for each group. So you can have six possible answers in Group A, but only one of those six also fit in Group B and only one of them fits in Group C. You have to identify those that belong in other groups before you can complete Group A. (1 year, 10 months ago)

John Smith @ #68297: You could swap common and summer and still have a valid grid, so this doesn't work. Also, having 3 of the alcoholic drinks as types of wine but the most obscure one as a beer, so 'wine' was not a valid connection, was a bit frustrating. (1 year, 10 months ago)

Joshua @ #68219: Good red herrings but a not a fan of putting Acer (the Latin genus name for maples) in a group with a bunch of common English tree names -- doesn't really fit well with the others. By the same logic hornbeam would be Carpinus, ash would be Fraxinus and aspen would be Populus. (Also the video game health group doesn't have enough accepted answers.) (1 year, 10 months ago)

stylus John @ #68074: No, never put "racecar in a grid - it screams "PALINDROMES!!!" (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #68076: It was going so well! Loved the choo-choo connection. Then the Jazz line spoilt it all - and I've never heard of 3 from the Brian line either 😕. Ho -hum!😄 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Some red herrings, yeah @ #67106: I think there were, Stephen Toyshop! Things following black e.g. black rose, black book, black noir. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ant @ #68074: Very good, thank you (1 year, 11 months ago)

Quizzling @ #68095: Agree with Nighteyes, the whole idea of the connecting wall is that there is only one solution that works in full. Red herrings across groups are very welcome, but ultimately you can't have two possible solutions. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Splat @ #68095: Thanks, Joe. Will amend. Nighteyes, that’s the whole point… (1 year, 11 months ago)

JT @ #68089: Funny, I got two points because anagram was accepted for two of four categories. I didn't know what the anagrams were, of course. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #68086: You need to be more flexible in your acceptable answers, please. Palindromic was not accepted and neither was boat for ship. But an entertaing and not too demanding grid (1 year, 11 months ago)

Rosa @ #68072: Well, it's hydrogen, oxygen, and (if you live in England at the moment), sewage too (1 year, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #68058: The Buffalo clue is the location name and doesn't really fit with the rest of that group. Plenty other animal names that would be more appropriate for that group! (1 year, 11 months ago)

bert @ #33603: might need to check it, I put "the bill" instead of "the wire" and got it right !! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Queen @ #65445: So good! Most fun one I've done! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #67863: The counties answer is ridiculous. The words are all cities, why expect anyone to look beyond that? If just one of the words was “Wilt” then the cities answer wouldn’t work but the county shires would. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Feza @ #67870: 0 points. Not very familiar with any of the groups and crossovers got me. Well thought out though. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #65796: Yes, I've always said "Hew-ell", which i think Hywell Bennett himself said. But a spot of googling revealed it can be either. But that's why I didn't get that line, your honour! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #65888: Another good one! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #67887: Great grid! Loved it! I had to reload it as I ran out of time, just as I spotted the 3rd line link! (BTW, I think you mean "noble" and not "Nobel") (1 year, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #67875: Soft belly? Not really a common phrase. The Malik group is way too obscure. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #67876: I thought it was excellent. China is still valid even if the others just happened to make whole words. (1 year, 11 months ago)

malcolm @ #67876: Couple of issues with this one: Shouldn't the clues themselves be valid words? & China Clay is not a word so it doesn't fit with the others (1 year, 11 months ago)

David @ #67798: I must agree about the foxes one, only got it as a process of elimination. It's usual with obscure ones like this to list the answers against their context. Also, one word cartoons against Disney Pixar Movies? (1 year, 11 months ago)

milocat3000 @ #67130: We got all the groups and (we think) correctly identified the connections, but were told we were wrong about the social media apps. However, you are wrong about how they are spelled. Grind--add "r"; Tumble--add "r"; Twit--add "ter"; Tind--add "r," I believe. So they all end in an "r" sound, but they do not all end in -er. (1 year, 11 months ago)

gridlington @ #67875: Good grid! You might add "cartoon" as one of the words for the comic strip answer. Thanks (1 year, 11 months ago)

BinDipper @ #67869: Thanks for the game Lucy. I was puzzled by it though. Couldn't understand why you chose an anagram group - are there red herrings for the other groups in there? I'm too thick to have known them if there are. :-) (1 year, 11 months ago)

leaf @ #67868: I liked the riddles on this more than the connections - the grouping just depended on if you knew a bunch of famous people rather than finding something interesting connecting the different clues. Love the concept tho (1 year, 11 months ago)

Wye+Knott @ #67796: I wanted to say TDS, and leave it there, however, I can see the thought process and although similar grids have been submitted before, this was one of the better ones.

Malcontent @ #67202: Really nice. Thank you. Nothing too obscure to work out, nice logic to all the links, and fun red herrings. @EddieCrane if it HAD been a famous Rogers group, I'd have been lucky to get it, and it would have been pure guesswork, as I've only ever heard of one of them as a famous Roger, and it's not the one you mentioned - literally never heard of the others in any context.

OG @ #98: In the musical notes, it should be "sol" instead of "so" and "re" instead of "ray." Might could have worked if you related it to the Sound of Music song but then "Doe" would have to go with it since the line is "Doe, a deer, a female deer." (1 year, 11 months ago)

Emma @ #67682: Tricky, the bars were a bit niche. Some nice red herrings though (1 year, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #67684: Sett is spelt incorrectly (1 year, 11 months ago)

Fi @ #66835: Agree re Claymore. That threw me & was frustrated when I realised you’d just misspelt it. Took a star off for that - but otherwise very promising. A bit of fine tuning & this would be a good grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Fi @ #66853: Certainly not the worst grid ever. But maybe a little bit staid with all the answers being synonyms. Perhaps mix it up a bit for future grids. But I enjoyed it. Thank you. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Shane @ #67480: @hans moke n.............use the filter (1 year, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #67577: Hi Eddie. Even if there were no changed letters I would still not have got any of these, because generally I don't know or care much who the director is. I spotted a few titles, and even that letters were changed, but neither knew nor cared who the directors were. So I spent a lot of time looking for letters changed in the same position, or the same letter changed, etc. If you want to write walls for film anoraks, go ahead, but be prepared for low scores from everybody else. It is nice that there are no hard and fast rules, and novel grids can be a delight, but a good general rule is that a good grid is one which can be solved by someone with a reasonable general knowledge, intelligence, and the ability to make quirky connections. When I commit to spend 3 or more minutes of my time to solving a puzzle, I expect to have some chance of doing so. If I fail to connect a group, then when I see what the connection was, my reaction should be "arrgh I should have spotted that!". But if the connection is hopelessly niche, the reaction is simply annoyance. If you are hopelessly committed to film topics, maybe you could restrict that to one of the groups instead of all of them. Please consider this to be constructive advice rather than simple whinging. You asked for an explanation, and this is my best attempt to respond. (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67577: Just going to make a note on this in case anyone sees/cares. I’ve made a lot of grids recently and I think they’re pretty fun. Not world changing or anything but a bit of fun for people to hopefully enjoy doing a puzzle for 5 minutes in their day. On all of them, people have given them low scores and not bothered making any comment as to why, let alone leaving any comments about enjoying it or saying thanks or engaging in any way, other than to click presumably one star or two star. I would love to know what it is about my grids people hate so much, but I would more appreciate someone (anyone) taking the time to leave any sort of interaction other than a low rating. It’s dispiriting enough that after 5 or 6 days of this I’m just going to stop making them. Thanks very much. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Fi @ #67522: Good quiz - thank you. But it would be good if you could include “relatives” in the answer, not just family. It marked me as wrong, but obviously I was correct - just used a different word. Otherwise good grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jarah @ #67539: Fleet isn't a synomym for quick. You might be thinking of "fleeting". (1 year, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #67555: I would argue the Norse mythology set could also have RED as the solution. Red Giant, Red Eagle, Red Bull, Red Dragon. Nice hard grid (1 year, 11 months ago)

Enzed @ #67556: Nicely done. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ant @ #67542: A good grid but the anagram group not being capitalised makes it stick out. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #67551: Pretty good grid, but...there's No b, g or y in the Jackdaws row. You win by lots Thanks for posting (1 year, 11 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #67537: Solved the grid but didn't know one of the categories. I learned something today. Thank you! (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67468: Some nice groups, the vegetable one particularly, but a couple of issues. WAN isn’t a homophone for One, it’s pronounced with the ‘A’ sound when read aloud. Also ‘bested’ means ‘beat’ not ‘won’ so that group doesn’t quite work for me. (1 year, 11 months ago)

gergo @ #67500: gergo (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67530: I agree with Malcontent’s comments, I also didn’t love Bored as a clue as unlike the others it isn’t a raw material. Really like the Courage group though and the misleads. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #67530: Quite good. The etymology clue was rather mean - I saw it but it seemed to arbitrary so looked for something else. The homophone group was good, but I've never heard timbre pronounced as timber. (1 year, 11 months ago)

C @ #66116: No, let's be pedantic. (1 year, 11 months ago)

C @ #66203: Good grid, relatively easy but red herrings make it fun. I would say though that Mainwaring being a fictional captain and a character in Dad's Army is a bit messy. Normally only the clue fits in two groups not the subject itself (if that makes sense). (1 year, 11 months ago)

C @ #66314: Inclusion of the word 'stressed' was the key for me to unlock what was going on. If not for that word I may have been stuck. I think stressed -> desserts is the longest such word in the English language. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #67383: Ridiculous not to include trees as well as wood as what else does wood come from? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Omegaman+ @ #67340: Also metal elements would be ok if you had put in the singular and I was defeated by only the US spelling of colours being included (1 year, 11 months ago)

New Yorker @ #66643: (1) In the U.S. the word is spelled “jewelry.” (2) Earring is one word. (3) The word for the piece of jewelry is spelled “Brooch.” “Broach” is an altogether different word. (4) Using “Ring” twice is confusing. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Miss+Slink @ #67349: Turquoise is both spelled differently, *and* is also a stone, so could be swapped with aquamarine, meaning there's more than one solution to the grid. Other than that, pretty easy. (1 year, 11 months ago)

gaffer gibson @ #67383: should except trees as well as wood (1 year, 11 months ago)

C @ #66737: Very easy - and very dissatisfying on the apple and the yellow. Either everything has to be named yellow or everything has to be related to yellow.

Ludwig @ #67336: The self category is stunning (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ludwig @ #67340: 'Colours' instead of 'colors' should be allowed. Also I think both 'green' and 'brown' are exchangeable for 'black', and 'silver' is exchangeable for 'gold', which gives too many solutions. (1 year, 11 months ago)

CJ @ #27880: Thanks, but "German" in German is indeed "Deutsch". The rest of the words are the noun forms of the languages, so I assume you mean the noun form of "German" which is "Deutsch" and is not "Deutsche" (that is the adjective form) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Danimal @ #67235: Good grid - found it a bit easy but wonder if I'm a similar age to poster. And I disagree Mr Smith, if you said 'film titles' on the show, VCM would say 'I need you to be more specific'. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #67235: Contray to the other comment, I think Disney is the right thing to say for that group. Mainly as that's whatI typed and gpt 10/10 Well done me. And wekk done T=you (1 year, 11 months ago)

Sometimes I get family and friends and passers-by to get involved (even if they don't realise what they are doing!!). I've got into trouble a few times (once when I drove a bus through a wall, and another time when I trapped me and a young girl in a room with an angry cat), but I just can't help myself. I JUST LIVE ALIENS!! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bibbity+Bill @ #67000: Daxw... REALLY!!? Do you not get the concept of 'Red Herrings'?? If you think that there should be sixteen words that just need sorting out into their obvious categories then maybe you should find a simpler puzzle to do... a jigsaw springs to mind... some of them have sixteen pieces... maybe try one of them (unless you think some of the pictures on the pieces look quite similar to each other!!).

Sid Kneebridge @ #54952: Brilliant, super gridding! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bibbity+Bill @ #67079: I don't think having a category that 'describes somebody' is good practice... it just smacks of someone trying to find words that might be red herrings for the other categories. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67125: Satisfyingly entertaining. Lovely, thank you. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67144: Ditto. It's a very nice grid, but "capitals" is a valid connection. These four would be a great fit for Round 1 though. Lovely. (1 year, 11 months ago)

George @ #67136: Well, if you have to do a bit of googling to confirm groups then maybe a bit dodgy but definitely obscure (1 year, 11 months ago)

George @ #67138: 75% ok (1 year, 11 months ago)

George @ #67145: Not my most favourite (1 year, 11 months ago)

Michel @ #67144: I think in a connecting wall the fact the cities are the highest is not relevant / should not lead to just capital city being a wrong answer. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Giggle @ #48553: It’s very hard so please make it easier (1 year, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #67129: Look out everybody, Darren Martin is in town. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lily @ #67125: Nicely constructed (1 year, 11 months ago)

jgalef @ #67126: @ Michael Cohen -- Jesse :-) (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #40732: Nice and tricky. “Chaff” has one f too many though (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #67136: Same as cashback below - robbed of a 10 because I typed bear rather than bears - quick fix for future users (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #67137: Swapping the order on word links is unusual for this site - the word most often is before or after the clue consistently in a group which threw me off a bit (1 year, 11 months ago)

Puzzie @ #67129: @Darren Martin 👏 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Clive Morgan-Whittlesnake @ #67129: Can we all give Darren Martin a virtual round of applause. What a legend he is and us mortals can only dream to reach such levels of intelligence, humility and grace. Again what a legend he truly is.. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bungle @ #67136: The grid should accept 'synonym' as a correct answer for the words meaning 'cold'. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Lou @ #67107: Only Take That qualify as a "boy band". Prince was a solo artist, Queen are a rock band, and Red? do you mean Simply Red or the US Christian rock band? Neither one fits "boy band". (1 year, 11 months ago)

Tilly @ #66938: Why the Al Jolson emoji? 😆 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Sam @ #67076: The computer language is called Perl rather than Pearl, other than that great grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Cashback @ #67136: Nice grid. Had to do a bit of googling after as I thought some of the answers were a bit dodgy. Not so. The only gripe I have is that it doesn't accept bear (singular) as a connection. (1 year, 11 months ago)

meepmo @ #67130: this was great! clues all really satisfying even when i didnt get the points. hash one was especially clever :) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Michael @ #67126: Two bit dodgy clues. Drake is good as a red herring against explorers but there is a real animal called a drake. Also coral is not really a homophone for choral (1 year, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #66938: ( : O (1 year, 11 months ago)

Michael Cohen @ #67126: Nice one! Are you Jesse or Julia Galef? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Darren Martin @ #67129: took me about 10 seconds to complete.. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Darren Martin @ #67130: started out ok but a couple of them are just a bit too vague/arguable. (1 year, 11 months ago)

alejandro @ #67101: I think "clergy" could be accepted (1 year, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #67126: Nice, I almost didn't figure out the theme for what was my and I imagine will be most people's "remainder" group but just managed to get it all 😅 (1 year, 11 months ago)

alejandro @ #67126: Nice! I think every group has one member that could fit into a different group, which makes a good challenge :) (1 year, 11 months ago)

JJ @ #67124: It's me, "Scareboy" 'Fetti Kreuger, and when I PuzzGrid I like to eat myself a big bowl of confetti'cini alfredo. 10/10, would puzz again. Crossover on Fonda had me, but I just clicked around a lot and eventually got there. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Katrina @ #67109: Can I suggest "dwellings" please? (1 year, 11 months ago)

a @ #67124: Great quiz! As for feedback, I think the o' clue could be clearer. I think "o." would be an improvement if you're thinking of the author. (1 year, 11 months ago)

fi @ #67109: amazed i got confetti on a grid that included football. the bicycle group was blind luck though. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ben @ #66973: Five stars for being kind and accepting "game locations", because I knew that's what it was but there's no way I would have known the game 😅 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ben @ #66971: This is an "every day's a school day" kind of grid... Thank you 😅 (1 year, 11 months ago)

Angela @ #67080: 4 excellent grids. Thanks (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #67112: It's Amy Winehouse. Also "films" should be a correct answer (1 year, 11 months ago)

Helen @ #67112: Amy whitehouse? Peaky blinders was bbc. Groupings a bit vague. (1 year, 11 months ago)

b @ #67107: Poor : Prince was solo, not a boy band, and nobody ever called Queen a boy band : they may all have been male, but too old to be boys. Then dukes and duchesses are always royal. Needs some work, doesn't it. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Emma @ #55363: Several of the clips were greyed out and wouldn't play (1 year, 11 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #67106: Were not we’re! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #67106: We’re there any crossovers or red herrings? I thought it was too straightforward. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Peter Smith @ #67107: In the last group only one - King - is exclusively Royal; the others are ranks of nobility (1 year, 11 months ago)

Julie @ #65625: too easy (1 year, 11 months ago)

J.Ho @ #67107: you can be a duke/duchess with our being royal. A better definition would be nobility. (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67104: Very hard grid, two of the categories I’ve just never heard of any of the members. Jsyk, “Aama” isn’t missing the m, I think it should be “Aaa” (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #67101: Nice. I like the 'faux' group - at first thought, not another chesspiece group!! :) (1 year, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #67102: Hmm, bell peppers can also be yellow, green and red. Fire can be many colours including red, purlple and even green, depending on the material being burned. Not bad though. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #67109: Nice grid (1 year, 11 months ago)

Juls @ #67100: Shouldn't 'Same flag' be enough for a correct answer?! (1 year, 11 months ago)

Kitty @ #67100: The correct term is foreWORD. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #67100: It's "foreword". I thought you meant "forward" (1 year, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #67097: Wow. Absolutely no idea what is going on here (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #67079: Nah, good wall. The Knight group was unusual, but that's not really a sin (1 year, 11 months ago)

Daggerdooby @ #67081: Easy if you live Coogan. Great board (1 year, 11 months ago)

Mister+Tom @ #67091: As a proud citizen of North Haverbrook, I'm frankly insulted.... :-) It was easy. there are worse crimes. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #67080: 45 seconds for confetti. Enjoyed. (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67079: If you are someone who has given this a low star rating: could you please explain why? What is it about the categories that doesn’t work? What is it about the solution that is unsatisfying? (1 year, 11 months ago)

Rachel @ #67040: Just fab! Yay (1 year, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #67091: Nice grid. A little too easy, though (1 year, 11 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #67074: Loved it! Lots of fab red herrings, and good brain workout. (1 year, 11 months ago)

EddieCrane @ #67069: Obviously it has to be ZAHAWI because it’s factual that he held two of these posts. The alternative might be to choose a different post for one of the groups but I don’t know how possible it is to avoid duplication. Obviously it’s a unique theme and a bit of fun rather than a normal grid. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Ant @ #67069: You should try to avoid duplicates in a grid. Perhaps replace Zaharia with someone else (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67009: Ditto. Lovely grid, thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

Bathfood @ #67040: Lovely. Fun grid. Strictly speaking, I think "red" could be swapped with either "green" or "black". There are plenty of other lovely herrings without this colour group. So maybe change "red" into "pine" Great work. Thanks. (1 year, 11 months ago)

kivrin @ #40577: Does no one on this page actually watch Only Connect? They’ve had questions with singularized sports teams before. It’s completely fine and it makes it so they can be red herrings for baby animals and walls without giving it away. (1 year, 11 months ago)

kivrin @ #58061: Feel like the copy synonyms should have accepted emulate since it was a red herring and also a synonym and they accept that on the show? (1 year, 11 months ago)

meepmo @ #66938: this was really fun! I liked that you had some red herrings but they were things that didn't *quite* fit the pattern (eg sent in essential is spelled wrong) which meant you could try and figure out what the red herring was abductively rather than just cycling through the options. Much more satisfying :) (1 year, 11 months ago)

alejandro @ #66876: Please disregard the hateful comment - I found this one challenging but not impossible. I was able to find the groups all right, but two of the connections eluded me.

JEREMY @ #66881: Interesting that is a different style of wall, but it was too easy and all the connections were essentially the same. There were no crossovers (1 year, 12 months ago)

Toferino @ #66886: Not bad for a first submission. If I'd offer one piece of advice, the Dales category is a little too restricted to a certain geographical area (arguably it's true of ANY category, I didn't get the Narnia connection either, as I haven't read the books) and perhaps slightly too esoteric in nature. I live in London and there are many, many walls on here, for instance, that contain underground stops on the Tube as a category. I spot them instantly, whereas others would be left scratching their heads. It's a tough balance between 'general interest' and 'a bit too easy' and hard to get just right - but a good effort for a first attempt. Well done for avoiding subjects such as Harry Potter, Cluedo, London Tube map (!) and others that feature very heavily. Long term fans of this site know that originality is hard to come by, after almost 70,000 submissions! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nomis @ #66878: There is a problem with this grid : Phoenix and Pegasus or Phoenix and Fairy are interchangeable. All of them have wings and are mythical creatures.

JJ @ #66808: @Wordsworth Yeah, for me, sitting VOLLEYBALL felt a bit obscure... I thought sitting DUCK was great. I'm prob to blame for not getting the others: sitting ROOM is more of a British thing (and I'm an American who grew up with a living ROOM) and sitting PRETTY is just not really in my vocabulary (sounded vaguely familiar when I heard it but had no idea what it meant). (1 year, 12 months ago)

JJ @ #66808: Good crossovers with DUCK and BUNNY but the sitting line is rooouugh. Also I get kinda nitpicky when "____" clues are made of both two-word and one-word answers (e.g. Ajar, NIGHTjar vs COOKIE jar, JAM jar). (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66790: enjoyed this a lot. confetti in under two minutes, love confetti. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #65743: Fun grid! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Ben @ #66787: This was exceptional, thank you. Came so close to confetti, but couldn't for the life of me get the Napoleon connection. (1 year, 12 months ago)

puzzler1424 @ #66791: Very good grid, some red herrings had me running in circles (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #573: Fantastic themes! (1 year, 12 months ago)

freddgar @ #66790: Excellent, love this style of grid Haven't seen one for a while, didn't recognize it and thus failed dismally Thanks for posting (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #66185: Really liked this one! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #29337: Wonderful! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Angus @ #66785: That was excellent. . . crossovers but not too hard! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #14884: Very fun! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #32600: Loved this, great theme! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66751: Really good - I'd no idea of the noise group link though, and even when the link was revealed I'd never heard of any of the songs (was that group deliberately obscure or was I just unlucky?) (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #47080: Love the Beethoven clue! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Hmm @ #66766: Alas, too young but enjoyed your grid (and your comments). V. British! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #50900: Fun groups! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66766: Excellent - good fun. The 54321 group was a bit oldschool for me ( only heard of two of them)and I only separated it from the Eldorado line by luck but I managed it. Thank you. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Georgina @ #47100: Love it, so fun! (1 year, 12 months ago)

mal @ #66761: Glory hole cracked me up! Well done :D (1 year, 12 months ago)

JJ @ #66766: Too British for me 🙈 (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66766: Fiddlesticks, in this context is a bit obscure, don't you think? (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66768: Never heard of tuppence. And a standard medical word for it was rejected in favour of the coy description. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Susan Main @ #66773: It's Pittodrie and Easter Road, so that doesn't really work as a red herring for the islands group (and I agree that Seychelles doesn't fit in that group). Sorry :-( (1 year, 12 months ago)

Ned+Lalky @ #66760: good grid the names caught out (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66770: What fi said. Again. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66773: Everything fi said. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66775: JJ - paper round is a paper boy's route, or collection of customers. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #66775: It needs to accept knot singular, as well as knots. (1 year, 12 months ago)

JJ @ #66775: Nice grid! Pretty easy but the paper row threw me. Never heard of a paper ROUND. I think that’s a Britishism, which seems to have roughly the same meaning as paper BOY. Paper SHOP? I guess, in that anything could be a shop, but I’d call that a stationery store, unless it means something else entirely. TRAIL, PLANE, PLATE, or THIN could be good paper swaps. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Hitower @ #66581: Really good, well done (1 year, 12 months ago)

Brightlingc @ #66751: Yay! 10/10 in the Nick of time! Great grid! (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66768: what a stinker, i do not watch ghosts, never heard of the pax calender and synonyms for what? i admit thats the group i saw first but couldn't believe that was an acceptable group to post so didn't pursue it. my husband couldn't believe it either!!! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Anvil @ #66751: I loved it! But then I like music! Getting bored of all the synonym links and anagrams in most grids these days (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66770: a good brain stretcher, i enjoyed this one more than some where i got confetti. (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66773: i hate football, wasn't ever gonna get that group. in the islands group surely a group of islands like the seychelles doesn 't really fit? (1 year, 12 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66773: Liked this one, red herrings had me going in circles for a while 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 12 months ago)

Freddgar @ #66775: Nice and easy grid, couple of good red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (1 year, 12 months ago)

scowrer @ #66754: BinDipper, I was worried about the possibility of that, the question mark on Life on Mars? means it can only be the Bowie song, not the tv show. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Steven @ #66773: Very cleverly done (1 year, 12 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #66761: Excellent grid. Was foxed by Bushbaby, Got it in 4th grooup Wasn't Pigeoned at all, All genuine, and legal words (1 year, 12 months ago)

Jenni+D @ #66727: Really enjoyed the links in this puzzle (1 year, 12 months ago)

MistaDuran @ #66741: Nice! (1 year, 12 months ago)

mal @ #66719: Fun, and some nice musical cross overs (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66719: yay, confetti!!! it's been quite a few grids since i got confetti, nice to have it back!! (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66751: i don't know enough about music to do well at or enjoy this grid. (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66748: my worst score ever! one group, one connection! this one just did not suit me. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Bob @ #66692: I think you mean Jerry Springer, former mayor of Cincinnati! Nice grid overall! (1 year, 12 months ago)

Tom @ #66748: Could maybe use another red herring or two? I solved the grid very quickly, but having said that I couldn't work out one of the groups. (1 year, 12 months ago)

gridlington @ #66736: I was a bit dubious when I saw another "numbers" homophone group, but the rest of it made up for that! 😁 (1 year, 12 months ago)

David @ #66721: Fullly fashioned stockings and Football Stockings, what are they? (1 year, 12 months ago)

gridlington @ #66747: I liked the "foot" row! (1 year, 12 months ago)

gridlington @ #66737: Good grid! Nice change from synonyms and "can be preceded by..." (1 year, 12 months ago)

David @ #66734: American Presidents not accepted (1 year, 12 months ago)

Clare @ #66734: The game told me "Presidents" was not the connection between four presidents. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nomis @ #66740: @Malcontent, you're right. I've edited it and switched Piano to Fortepiano and Wurlitzer to Keytar (because it's fun !) (1 year, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66740: Really great, but piano and Wurlitzer could be swapped over between their respective groups, so there are two valid solutions. Some pianos fit the link for the Wurlitzer group while not all Wurlitzers do (I'd only ever heard of them as pipe organs, but the brand produced a wide range of other acoustic instruments), while both Wurlitzers and pianos fit the group piano is in. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Fred @ #66729: Sorry this was crap (1 year, 12 months ago)

srossmoyes @ #66724: Great grid :) Would recommend adding a ^ symbol between the 10 and 12 though so it reads better. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Katrina @ #66727: Nicely linked puzzle - satisfying to solve for ten points and learn a few things along the way. (1 year, 12 months ago)

fi @ #66726: got the groups by blind guesses, i know nothing about sport. sorry nomis this one was not for me. (1 year, 12 months ago)

GC @ #66700: Should allow 'family members' (1 year, 12 months ago)

count-snackula @ #66697: not bad (1 year, 12 months ago)

meepmo @ #39029: I loved this puzzle! It did a really good job of mixing up genres (from classics, cartoons, etc.) so that you had to think more deeply about the connections beyond the immediate associations of the clues. Especially liked the animals + spiders clues. PS I think some of the other commenters here are right spoilsports. This wasn't any more knowledge-based than other ones on this site. And "you really should have better things to do with your time" coming from someone who apparently spends their time making rude comments on people who have made them puzzles for free?! ffs (1 year, 12 months ago)

Fial Kosher @ #35648: Glad you liked my quiz. Personally liked the beans, follow my soundcloud, we the best music (1 year, 12 months ago)

meepmo @ #66723: Loved this! Good mix of different types of connections - involving words, knowledge, lateral thinking etc. :) (1 year, 12 months ago)

datroof @ #66697: "NATO phonetic alphabet" and "dances" could form part of an OVERUSED PUZZGRID GROUPING category. Any other candidates, puzzlers? (1 year, 12 months ago)

Kevin Frank @ #30437: good wall! Would wall again (1 year, 12 months ago)

. @ #66699: Why is family members not an acceptable answer? (1 year, 12 months ago)

Nomis @ #66721: @Horatio : It's Kevin Smith, a popular American indie film director. He directed those 4 films, as well as Dogma (red herring). (1 year, 12 months ago)

Horatio @ #66721: Who is the person who links the Tusk line? Never heard of them (1 year, 12 months ago)

Horatio @ #66720: It's *clue word* fin tuna, so that spoils one group. (1 year, 12 months ago)

bert @ #41300: same grid as #41307 (1 year, 12 months ago)

Tim Symes @ #66700: wouldn't accept Family (1 year, 12 months ago)

ihamwhatiham @ #66714: Nice grid but I would say the food group is a little inconsistent between types of food e.g./food groups dairy and macronutrients e.g. protein (1 year, 12 months ago)

Toferino @ #66719: Nice grid, with some interesting crossovers. (1 year, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #66704: Quite good. Good red herring group. Not too obscure (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66636: Nice. Solved in 30 seconds. Mostly very straightforward, but I had no clue about the fireplace group. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66684: Good ideas, but not a solvable grid except by pure luck. Waterhead is a place name, so Loo and Head could be swapped between groups, which means there were at least two equally valid solutions to the grid. Also, I've never heard of 'head' as slang for lavatory, so that made the setter's version of the full solution impossible for me to find. I saw all four connections well before I ran out of lives, but couldn't sort the final two groups (2 years ago)

A @ #54971: Hah, this is the coolest one I've seen! (2 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #66700: Reasonable mix but too easy. The full 10 took well under a minute. (2 years ago)

Giggsy @ #65792: Dearest puzzmaker, I write to you on this, the warmest of days under the strangest of circumstance. This puzz has brought me and my numerous children the greatest of joys in these trying times when we ran out of eggs. You can imagine the uproarious laughter. Imagine it. I bid you adieu, and will cherish you in my bosom eternally. Sincerely, Yours III, Esq. Sr. DMD DDS (2 years ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66657: Fun, but Quite straightforward. (2 years ago)

Nomis @ #66691: cool grid ! (2 years ago)

Gridlington @ #66684: Good grid. "Head" is used in the military, esp Navy for toilet. I didn't fall for your gospels red-herring - but then I used it in grid 20661! 😄 (2 years ago)

dollymix @ #66684: My only quibble is that the Friends group is all very common names, which makes it tough to guess. I'd suggest switching one out for Courteney, the distinctive spelling of which should give a bigger hint. (2 years ago)

Toferino @ #66682: A bit too vague - there are too many legitimate ways to complete this grid. I got the Danube group and that was it. I suspected a Shaespearean connection but was unable to eliminate the red herrings. the UCL group is impossible to spot if you're not a Liverpool fan. I feel that the creator could do more to help lead the reader to the right answer eventually. This one is just on the wrong side of challenging. (2 years ago)

Shelly @ #66684: great grid! thanks (2 years ago)

Brinky @ #66650: Really nice grid. (2 years ago)

Brinky @ #66663: Katrina I could not find a way to also include Judas, applause or Dope... but thanks for your feedback. (2 years ago)

JJ @ #66664: Had to look up BODY -- turns out it's actually BODDY (not that I remembered that character anyway). The Chinese etymology row is rough. According to some quick Googling, only KUMQUAT seems to have clear Chinese (Cantonese) etymological roots. The rest are disputed at best (KETCHUP) if not wrong (folks seem to agree MONSOON is from Arabic via Portuguese). It's a further stretch to throw a phrase in there IMO (which also seems to be disputed). Other rows are nice though! (2 years ago)

VCM @ #66661: Drove not drive? (2 years ago)

Daggerdooby @ #66643: Two rings! (2 years ago)

Katrina @ #66649: JJ, yes, suspenders are something very different again in the UK (I think you would use garters)! I'll add "synonyms" for the pairs group - it's closer enough (2 years ago)

JJ @ #66649: Nice puzz. PAIR row should match "synonym" IMO. Never heard of BRACES ... they're called suspenders in US. (2 years ago)

JJ @ #66636: Nice. Was looking for "off the ___" with CUFF and CHAIN. Thameslink is tough for folks not in the UK. Adding obfuscation to the Pokemon line feels cruel ... FIRE/BUG/ROCK/POISON alone would have me stumped. (2 years ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #55865: nice grid... not (2 years ago)

Katrina @ #66643: I don't think it's ideal to have "ring" in there twice - if you click on the wrong one the group isn't accepted. Maybe consider swapping out the one from the jewellery group? (2 years ago)

Big woo @ #66631: @spikethecat Danke (german), tack (swedish), asante (swahili), toda (hebrew) for your comments. While you can add ful to make words they're not synonyms. Tiercel seemed an acceptable alternative spelling. Hob is a male ferret. (2 years ago)

Ben @ #66512: This was fun! I think because some of the connections don't have an obvious description (e.g. demolition group) you need to allow more answers (e.g. "man"). Also "city" wasn't accepted for the Hilton group. (2 years ago)

Joni @ #66401: Fun, creative and doable. Excellent. Thank you (2 years ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #66130: Good day, or should I say, good evening. I, the illustrius Lisbon Geaville, have decided to grace your fine puzzel on this eve, or should I say day. I found it to be most enthusing but I must say, I was perplexed at the boroughs of London section of the puzzle. You have challenged my wits on this day, or should I say evening, and for that I am grateful. Thank you, Sincerely, Yours truly, With Respect, Lisbon Geaville Esq. PS. I selected the rabbit.

Mister+Tom @ #66251: This wall used fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and comfy chairs (2 years ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66300: Some lovely ideas. While I did get it, I'd normally try to make the pie group letter consistent. (Plus those wordy ones don't, ironically, make the best places to hide herrings, imo) (2 years ago)

JerseySusanna @ #66337: Bah - beaten to a pulp by crush! Thank you (2 years ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66289: I liked this one a lot better! Although having set a grid with Eccles and Co in it some time ago, it didn't last :-) (2 years ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66338: Honest opinion? -what fresh hell is this. - oh, I recognise 2 of them and those 2 look like surnames. Tick. - no idea about the rest, those look like first names. It's probably sex and the city or something. Tick. -still no clue. Those look like wordy ones. Oh, it's done. Got 4 groups and one explanation. Herrings spotted? Zero. and maybe im just in a terrible mood today but it felt like the opposite of fun. The Ptolemy group is pticularly pterrible: practically everything fits that property. If you were using that to generate misdirection it didn't work. Don't let me put you off, but there it is. (2 years ago)

Hamburger @ #66337: This is good. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66315: Pretty good. Satisfying to work out answers. Loved the Paddington group and the red herrings. Fields group felt a bit arbitrary and the aril group was hard to sort because it wasn't the same letter or a letter in the same position that was missing. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66317: Nice and straightforward, and good fun, once I got my head around most of the 'homophones' barely sounding like the words they were meant to represent. (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #66327: Different, but very very easy to do 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years ago)

Ben @ #66318: It's admittedly not as good as THE correct answer, but another connection with the Eon row is you can replace the first letter with T. (2 years ago)

plainplane @ #66314: Dirg ecin! (2 years ago)

A @ #66314: Toferino, you must be new here. (2 years ago)

fi @ #66317: i do like a nice homophones grid. the occupations group was a bit strained in my opinion. streamers!!! (2 years ago)

Ludwig @ #66323: Nice grid, though I think quarter has also been used as a unit of volume, so it seems quarter and drachm could be exchanged. (2 years ago)

Helen @ #66304: The measure group has another answer - they're made of 2 words. I know nothing of Taylor swift or royals so failed miserably! (2 years ago)

samrusty @ #66324: Nice grid. [SPOILER] Can I suggest you add "distance" as a matching word for the measurement group please? (2 years ago)

Trillium @ #52055: (too, not to) in my comment above. 🙃 (2 years ago)

Trillium @ #52055: I like it and got the 4 groups but your link terms are maybe to limited. (2 years ago)

Toferino @ #66314: Clever grid and a novel idea. Luckily I got the palindrome group at the first try, otherwise I might've struggled. Thanks for posting. (2 years ago)

TJ @ #66317: Thoroughly enjoyed this one! (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #12138: Good, but Bailey and El Paso can be directly swapped between their two groups, so the grid doesn't really work properly. I could see what all the groups were, but had to make a random guess on my last life to solve the grid, because there's not just one correct solution. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66185: Fun and simple. Thank you. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #42198: Good fun, not too hard. The trickiest was the Horrid group, because the definitions were more obscure and the words weren't accurate homophones of each other. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #35398: Nice mix, nice and straightforward. Thanks (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #28219: Very good,fun, and pretty straightforward, but mash also has associations with golf, so wedge and mash could be swapped between groups. (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #66274: Please consider accepting qualifications. Lovely grid! (2 years ago)

JerseySusanna @ #66312: Not sure of this! Aso, the Kidney beans connection has 'young living things' to make the link which I chose. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66253: Good, fun ideas, but many of the homophones weren't really close enough to the words they're meant to represent also, Sinus isn't a health issue, it's body part. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66295: Good grid. Loved the Christine group and the Aysia group. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66297: Good grid, but you need to correct 'end' to 'contain' in your definition of the paeony group. (2 years ago)

Jomdis @ #66293: Just wow, superb griddling here. Thank you :))) (2 years ago)

mal @ #66297: 'paeony' is spelt 'peony' and neither end in aeon/eon (2 years ago)

puzzluver @ #66096: We believe that the "gospels" clue should also accept the answer "apostles". Otherwise, fantastic grid!! (2 years ago)

David+ @ #66274: The group with aphorism was too strict a connection, otherwise liked it a lot. (2 years ago)

missinglynx @ #66271: We put 'Heads of State' for the Tsar group, which should be correct I feel. (2 years ago)

Helen @ #66266: Although it was quite easy anyway and I got them all, it was a bit confusing with upper and lower cases. But I see comments on this - do people read comments before doing the grid?! (2 years ago)

George @ #66266: Not up to scratch (2 years ago)

malcolm @ #66266: ruth is not a lad's name (2 years ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #66231: Nice! (2 years ago)

Core crew @ #66276: Have you never heard of soup :) (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66276: "So up"? Not sure what that is. Did you mean "Sew up"? (2 years ago)

Atticus @ #65621: Excellent meta theme (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66274: Hmm, yes agree with pedantic pedant. One plural with 3 singulars... Also, the Exodus line are "books" of the old testament not chapters. Each book has chapters within it. (2 years ago)

Bibble @ #66267: Pretty sure Ruth isn't a lad! :) (2 years ago)

Will @ #66266: And this one was a bit too lower case for me. But a lot easier having done the other one. (2 years ago)

Will @ #66267: Caps threw me off. But lovely grid (2 years ago)

Pedant @ #66274: Doctorial? Maybe doctoral or doctorate. Proverbs is plural and the others are singular? (2 years ago)

N Robinson @ #66280: Please take this puzzgrid off. It's ridiculous rubbish. (2 years ago)

JBOX720 @ #66266: Sorry, uploaded this twice. Assumed all answers were automatically made uppercase. Please ignore. (2 years ago)

Kopdog @ #66262: The red-backed shrike can be in the red group too so that was confusing. (2 years ago)

fi @ #65919: nice grid, good red herring (!!!!) on the fish group, bass, streamers, yay. (2 years ago)

fi @ #66185: yay, streamers! i enjoyed that one, not just because i got streamers, finding the links & groups was very sartisfying. (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66260: Nasty misspelling to make it work. Depository. (2 years ago)

missinglynx @ #66255: We liked this but only scored 4. Apparently, Colchester does not have a cathedral. I thought the anagrams and days of the week were fair enough, the days because they were all in different places (not just one of them)...and the buns gave us something to chew over! 5 stars from us. (2 years ago)

Bibble @ #66251: Good grid! Hard but good (2 years ago)

Paquito @ #35374: Easy and funny (2 years ago)

Sredni @ #66252: Bravo! (2 years ago)

Horatio @ #66253: Bad in so many ways. No fun, waste of time, please stop. The player doesn't see the disclaimer until 3 minutes has been wasted. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66255: The Roman settlement group is also just a group of cities with cathedrals. The theme of the anagram group was very vague, and the day of the week abbreviations being at any point in the word, rather than all at the start or the end, made it almost impossible to sort. That said, I solved the grid with time to spare and saw all the links except the anagrams. (2 years ago)

Mister+Tom @ #66258: Nice, and appreciated the red herrings, but some clues need shortening. (2 years ago)

Bill @ #64776: Only mercury is a liquid metal at room temperature, which is what would be known by following the periodic table. Otherwise good. (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66257: I like this one, couple of decent red herrings but quite straightforward (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66255: Couple of them just too abstract, the anagrams in particular. And the Roman group are all simply towns, or cathedrals, no need to be so specific and insist on the Roman connection. (2 years ago)

Will @ #66255: Too hard. (2 years ago)

Bibbity+Bill @ #66189: Dom - err... what's a Red Belt?! (2 years ago)

Lily @ #66190: Fun (2 years ago)

Atticus @ #66253: FYI, when entering possible answers, you should put only the part of the answer word that is shared across all variations. Here you accept 'nationality' but you don't accept 'nationalities'- you could put nationalit as a possible answer and it would cover both (2 years ago)

Atticus @ #66254: You have to accept 'flowers' as a group, that's way too specific and obscure (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66236: Obscure is not the same as good. (2 years ago)

Alan Bitchmarsh @ #66254: Pretty sure one group is flowers (2 years ago)

Kate @ #66231: Please add "types of berries" as an acceptable answer. Otherwise, great grid! (2 years ago)

BinDipper @ #66238: The misspelling of Frasier is a shame. That made it look like it was a red herring for the group that it's in. (2 years ago)

alejandro @ #66224: Can you accept "clergy"? (2 years ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #66226: I got this after doing your similar puzzle! thanks (2 years ago)

Anastase @ #66219: Nice grid. (2 years ago)

Horatio @ #66228: Silly to have a line where only 1% o the population will have the specific knowledge to make the link - wrecked what could have been a good puzzle. (2 years ago)

x @ #66196: Clue should be accepted instead of Cluedo, as in the USA it's more commonly known as Clue. 'White' should be accepted as an answer for the Velvet, Clovers, Russian, and Cedar group (as White can precede them all). (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66226: Very clever. 10/10, but would never have got the dog on its own, perhaps Snoopy would have been better in the clue? (2 years ago)

Lily @ #66226: Good fun (2 years ago)

Moggy @ #66226: Nice ty (2 years ago)

GerryBlue @ #66209: Liked this, thanks! (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66212: Not unique - Shake, twist and wobble could all switch groups and still fit. (2 years ago)

Lindybeige @ #66209: Two of the categories did not make any sense. The answers were just lists, but not the actual connections. (2 years ago)

Dom @ #66189: Party, Belt, Card, Line can also all follow RED (2 years ago)

rjj @ #65930: "military" should be an allowed answer for SOLDIER, WARRIOR, CAVALIER, KNIGHT (2 years ago)

JonBob @ #66209: Fun! I don't think it's unique. You could swap Iron and Bogey, certainly. (2 years ago)

ToThePoint @ #66212: ‘Push’ could be an accepted synonym. Thanks for the grid. (2 years ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #55634: harder than the last one (2 years ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #37865: nice (2 years ago)

Paquito @ #66216: six letters 11 is eleven, six letters 20 is twnety, six letters..... (2 years ago)

what? @ #66216: Sorry, this did not match. The connection was: 11 eleven 20 twenty 80 eighty 90 ninety WHAT? (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66203: The challenge here was not to find the groups, but to do so without falling for any of the red herrings. One try per group. (2 years ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #55707: no idea what ancient form from Willendorf to Hohl means (2 years ago)

WonderSR @ #49986: Merci pour cette super grille ! A noter que "Panthéon" n'a pas été reconnu comme mot clé pour valider la catégorie. (2 years ago)

b @ #66203: Fun, but quite easy for those of us who know stuff. Nice try with the red herrings. (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #66209: Good grid, some nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66207: "sound american"? Bit subjective really. And whilst the link may be "tautological rivers", they are still all rivers nonetheless, and so "rivers" is a valid link. (2 years ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #65781: Good red herrings. (2 years ago)

Isaa Khan @ #66084: Sorry, not great results but we were having teething issues with understanding what to do. (2 years ago)

Just @ #66190: And 66062 (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66187: Much more difficult than it seems like it ought to be. Well done. (2 years ago)

Joni @ #66191: Really good grid. Don’t understand why it’s only got 3 stars. It’s a 5 from me. Thank you Noelski (2 years ago)

Omegaman+ @ #66176: Think you need to widen the answers for the stand group. I consider these to be items of furniture (2 years ago)

missinglynx @ #66178: Hi gridlinton. Glad you are enjoying some of my grids. I had in mind the epigram sometimes placed at the beginning of a book or chapter (tckpublishing includes it in their article "Parts of a book"), but it may have been better to use the more precise term for a written epigram, an epigraph. Do you think I should change it? (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66178: Epigram doesn't really fit with the other three, as it's not part of a book. Did you maybe mean Epilogue? (2 years ago)

fi @ #66102: yaay, streamers. i'm not too keen on the new look. long live luddites. (2 years ago)

missinglynx @ #66168: Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to have forgotten 'cereals'...will put that right straight away. (2 years ago)

Ben @ #66163: You've put this together brilliantly, thank you so much! (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66101: Another good one! Y'beat me! (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66148: Hmm... not your best work (and I'm working through all of yours because I loved the latest one!) The hidden numbers one is overused and the "teen" row was too obscure for most people to get. Can do better. See me. 😂 (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66168: By the way, it didn't accept "cereals" for the grains. (2 years ago)

gridlington @ #66168: Brilliant idea! I had to restart as I ran out of time looking for chess pieces! 😂 Got it in the end though. I love a novel and creative approach - getting a bit tired of "things that can come before another word"! (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #66168: Excellent grid, didn't have a clue In the true spirit of the original Well put together You win 10-0 Thanks for posting (2 years ago)

Jenni+D @ #66173: Loved it, thanks (2 years ago)

Leigh @ #66172: Nice balance of elegance and difficulty. One group for me was much harder than the others, but maybe some people would have spotted that one instantly… (2 years ago)

Atticus @ #66162: Unfortunately there are multiple other solutions- for example (Sergeant/ White/ Black/ Yellow PEPPER) and (Paper/ Cup/ Card/ Hard BOARD) along with the ranks and racecourse conditions (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66160: Bird group really only possible by a process of elimination, not possible to get it without first getting the football one. (2 years ago)

Malcontent @ #66162: Very good, but Paper should be Paperback to fit the connection properly. (2 years ago)

Fnord @ #65971: OK. That one was brilliant. Inspiring in fact. EAT THE RICH!!!!! (2 years ago)

Fnord @ #65990: Oh, well done , sir. You have bested my weak, Bolshevik mind. Mussolini would be proud. Excellent grid. (2 years ago)

Fnord @ #66133: Really enjoyed this one. Many thanks. The means of production should be owned by the proletariat. Peace! (2 years ago)

Shane @ #66150: Not hard but fun (2 years ago)

Fnord @ #66028: Gridiculous!!!!!! (2 years ago)

Fnord @ #66038: Bit too easy for me, but then; I had a university education paid for by the taxpayer. Socialism, eh? Keep trying, toryboy. (2 years ago)

Fnord @ #66063: Challenging - fun! (2 years ago)

David @ #66063: This is a UK grid, slumber party is an american term. The life one can also be making new words with one letter added, glow/blow, knight, glove/clove, rafter. (2 years ago)

Quizzer @ #66162: So many red herrings I went mad, congratulations. Have to say I've never encountered the racecourse category before. (2 years ago)

Quizzer @ #66153: Good grid, thanks. If VCM were in a kind mood, do you think she might accept "Australian animals" for one of these rows? (2 years ago)

Freddgar @ #66159: Fairly easy grid Maybe allow synonyms for the stalk and merge groups Other than, straightforward grid Thanks for posting (2 years ago)

alejandro @ #66159: I put "hunt" and "join" and they weren't accepted (2 years ago)

Puzzfan @ #66151: I'm not just salty because I didn't get it; I genuinely think this is a poor convention to use in this format. Thank you for your time. Take care. (2 years ago)

Gog-ette @ #66135: Good grid. You've spelt "Millennium" incorrectly though. (2 years ago)

Rossmondo @ #66141: I feel like I need to write a really long review for this one. It appears to be all the rage now. In fact I don't think I've ever written a review for one of these puzzles before. Please don't criticise me if you disagree with my opinion (even though my opinion is normally right), I think you'll find my opinions are really important. Either way, I don't think it's important whether you value my opinion or not (other than the author himself (or herself, I don't want to make assumptions these days)). And if the author does disagree with my opinions then I honesty hope I haven't caused any offence. Anyway, now down to the important bit. Having studied the grid, and the answers, and analysed the red herrings, I think it was Ok. (2 years ago)

Plod @ #66151: Thanks KP (2 years ago)

Miss+Slink @ #66133: Eccentric doesn't fit in with the rest of the group. From the Collins dictionary website: "If you say that someone is eccentric, you mean that they behave in a strange way, and have habits or opinions that are different from those of most people. He is an eccentric character who likes wearing a beret and dark glasses. Synonyms: odd, strange, bizarre, weird" Clearly someone can be eccentric without being exuberant or ostentatious, and vice versa. Someone with a habit of wearing mismatched shoes, or talking in meows like a cat, might be called eccentric but not exuberant. The Taj Mahal or the Crown Jewels might be described as ostentatious or elaborate, but not eccentric (especially in the context of when they were made). (2 years ago)

Late of Copenhagen @ #66105: The zodiac signs group is really interesting. It's not the names of the signs, rather the symbols which represent them. I had a little trouble with the Summoner group though, not being English (I'm Danish), I had to rely a little on my English textbooks in the house! (2 years ago)

Thatgaydonny @ #66141: I cannot believe how brilliant this puzzgrid well and truly is. I now have a new look on life and my fourth nipple is now gaping open to enjoy what new and exciting things are hurled to me in the unforeseeable future. This well and truly is one of the best things i have played i wish Freddie Mercury (the lead singer of the hit band Queen (R.I.P Queen Elizabeth 2 she was the best women out there)) had played this puzzgrid and he would have probably made a song about the stunningness of this piece of art (if you will) that i have come across, i hope people in the future will talk about this in the near future. Thank you for sharing this with the world R.I.P Jimmy Savllie "Jimm'l fix it". (2 years ago)

Chris @ #66141: Rastclrt69 did you write your own testimonial under Puzzgridder69's name? (2 years ago)

Puzzgridder69 @ #66141: Absolutely spectacular, I cease to believe such a brilliant, yet fun puzzgrid was made, this filled all my pleasures and was up to satisfaction, I particularly loved the roman emperor one, it was extremely creative, this puzzgrid is destined for the stars! Anyone who sees this puzzgrid, do yourself a favour and play it, you will scarcely believe it! (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66128: Quite a good grid if you're studying drama, and a particular Shakespeare play, but should perhaps not be marked as 'of general interest'. (2 years ago)

Bibble @ #66125: I agree, the homophone isn't right! But a fun grid otherwise. (2 years ago)

Ethel Q @ #24775: Loved this one! Hadn't seen your grids in a while. My fave! (2 years ago)

daupo @ #65050: I don't really think that Lion is a match with the others, which are all the first words. Maybe not knowing the _______ Movie is on me, but I had only heard of one of them, and it seems like a cheap way to grab some very generic words. That said, I could name three of the four in the end, so more fair than I thought! (2 years ago)

Ace @ #66102: Enjoyed this, got 10/10 despite being completely wrong about the Russ group. I guess my 'barbarian' contained enough of the correct answer to be accepted (2 years ago)

Barnet @ #65769: Could you change the answer wording to "colours" instead of /as well as "colors" please. Otherwise great! (2 years ago)

Cajun @ #66050: A rubber match is a deciding game... so if you play best 2 out of 3, and both teams have won a game, then game 3 is the rubber match (2 years ago)

Peter @ #66070: Excellent (2 years ago)

gridsfan @ #66033: @PJ Farrell: Unlike the UK and England, both "English" and "British" are interchangeable and correct terms for the bulldog. Feel free to look it up; doing so might save you the time required to write a condescending message. Hope you enjoyed the grid. (2 years ago)

PJ Farrell @ #66033: It's not an English bulldog, it's a British bulldog. It may be this was set by an American (indicated by spelling 'colours' without the 'u'). Often the mistake made across the pond, is that UK, Britain and England are synonymous; ignoring England and Wales, and the contested Northern Ireland. (2 years ago)

Dan @ #61118: I very much appreciate the effort in making sure that "pleonasms" also worked as the connection for the tautologies group; and I was psyched to learn about eggcorns, i did't know such things even existed! Overall, what a pun fuzzle! (2 years ago)

BritStuff @ #51242: Good grid. Only thing is I don't think they are synonyms, if I said I'd had a big meal would you be picturing the same size as I said I'd had a humongous meal?

BF @ #65853: @Ace Thanks! I swear I did Google it (I understand the suggestion as many wouldn't, but I'd never have asked without checking first ha) but only got translations of the word Letter or other irrelevant info. I searched more and eventually found it, I'm unfamiliar with the term but fair enough. With regards to Reims, it feels odd to use that when all the others are just the straight French pronunciation. I would assume the CANS was a red herring for Cannes being mispronounced. It would make a better quiz answer with all French pronunciation I think, eg use RANTS or another one like PARRY maybe.

Ace @ #65711: I like the idea, but the vodka group aside there is no clear distinction between the others. All of them could be called cocktails, and the shot group contains some that have been so known for decades, and some of the others are also drunk as shots. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #65685: I missed the kill group but the rest were fairly easy. Good wall. (2 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #65687: Got 10, but only 15s left, so i would say the difficulty level was perfect. When you get the other three groups, the anagrams are not too hard. Overall best wall i have seen in ages. (2 years, 1 month ago)

count-snackula @ #65687: anagram group was a bit hard (2 years, 1 month ago)

Ace @ #65686: Too contorted, especially the waves. And the xanadu group seems to be just random words from the extract, no real clue/connection. (2 years, 1 month ago)

BritStuff @ #39712: Mitzvah got me, then went away and when I came back I did try to think what a bat bell was, but then the old brain cranked into life for the answer. Somehow dragged that out of the recesses. Good grid! (2 years, 1 month ago)

BritStuff @ #28660: Just got it with 17 seconds to go. Was so pleased the Pride and Prejudice was right. Also got stuck on the Dam, Grand etc because I added n to Dam, Freema, and Sea.

Dave-o @ #65577: I'd never heard of three of the Clives, but I linked that group as surnames of famous authors: Sherwood Anderson, Henry/P. D. James, Upton Sinclair, and Pat/Clive Barker (2 years, 1 month ago)

Dave-o @ #65598: I think swapping Aristotle and Newton would produce a better solution. Aristotle was a logician but not really a mathematician, so he'd fit better in the physicists group by virtue of having written his work called "Physics." Newton can readily backfill him in the mathematicians group by virtue of having developed calculus. (2 years, 1 month ago)

another_random_username @ #65570: A somewhat flawed grid, but not uninteresting. The "Korean" and "Paris" categories work, I think. The remaining two ... well, not so much. I can see your logic after the fact, but the cities in question could be grouped in several different ways (especially given the large number of conflicts throughout history) and I don't think you can reasonably expect people to arrive at the solution you were looking for without a bit of blind luck. The "Rome" group in particular feels weak to me. The expression you were looking for is not nearly unique enough -- surely it can be applied to all of the cities in the "Baltimore" group as well (and countless other places too)? Still, your grid prompted me to look up a few things and learn a bit about history, so thanks for that! :-) (2 years, 1 month ago)

allium @ #9214: definitely agree with SidC! i imagine it would have been a bit easier of a board if i had more of a British or biologist background, but even without that it was easy to figure out the theme which made it fun even if i couldn't figure out all the categories! (2 years, 1 month ago)

Arnoud @ #82: Too many possibilities. For instance I knew there had to be an Olympics connection, but since there are three more cities that were Olympic host cities, I never got the right group. Just clicking for minutes to find the right combination is no fun. Also since everything is cities, multiple valid connections will exist and weren't thought about.

Spanish was good because it covered so many disparate things, and good wee misdirect with ships/states. And really liked it introducing Dupin which I didn’t know of so learnt something! From Wikipedia intro: “ Le Chevalier C. Auguste Dupin… is a fictional character created by Edgar Allan Poe. Dupin made his first appearance in Poe's 1841 short story "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", widely considered the first detective fiction story. … Poe created the Dupin character before the word detective had been coined. The character laid the groundwork for fictional detectives to come, including Sherlock Holmes, and established most of the common elements of the detective fiction genre.” Thx!

Bard @ #35663: You need to accept more synonyms for "lazy". I never award more than two stars to any puzzle that rejects a correct answer. (2 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #65336: Liked it! I think there is an alternate solution. Swap "sea" with "river" or "channel" and you get a group that can be prefixed with "up" to make new words, while the other group still stands. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #65335: @gridlington - While red meat products such as hot dogs, sausages, ham, bacon, and jerky are the most common types of processed meats, poultry can be processed as well. If you look at the label of even ‘oven roasted’ sliced turkey, you’re likely to see ingredients such as salt, sodium chloride, sodium phosphate, or potassium chloride. These are used to salt meats—meaning the turkey is processed. (2 years, 2 months ago)

gridlington @ #65335: I'm not sure Turkey counts as a processed meat... (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #64171: 5/10, but I loved it anyway! I didn’t group them right, but I loved figuring out the links (despite kicking myself for not seeing them at first). Great puzzle! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #63716: I’m not sure what answers wee acceptable for the adjectives, but I think you’d need to include a lot of synonyms for the ways people might describe the link. (Yes, I understood it but got it wrong anyway.) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #65148: Beverages is not accepted for soft drinks? Not exactly your fault, but there are far too many puzzles that use Formula 1 links, and that’s just not general knowledge, IMO. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #64957: A few of the clues are strangely worded or too specialized for a general audience. I’m familiar with 8-bit graphics, but that’s technically the exact same “bit” as a small unit of data, unless 8 has some other significance in Mario. I have no idea what the FNAF thing means.

Logophile @ #62250: Red notice? Red tractor? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #65215: I think a little more latitude in the link answers is called for. Christmas, fot instance, for the nativity, or English monarchs. I know Cromwell wasn’t technically a monarch, but still… (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #65317: @Margaret: Good point. I changed a word that hopefully fixes the problem. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #65307: @BJill I agree. You can eventually get the right one, but it throughs you off & wastes solving time. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #55740: Bird watch stumped me. I got the other three, but could not find another watch for the life of me. Even after I saw the answer… Bird watch? Bird watch?! What’s a bird watch?!? … Ooohhhhh… (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65317: Nice one, some good red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

Margaret @ #65317: Tooth and heart were impossible to distinguish between since sweet tooth and sweet heart are both phrases as are heart ache and tooth ache (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #52050: I’d suggest accepting “group of animals” as an acceptable link for the collective nouns, but otherwise an great grid! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Logophile @ #1396: I was stumped by the a— words. I thought the difficulty was accurately rated. And the mattress sizes/chess pieces red herrings were clever! (2 years, 2 months ago)

BJill @ #65307: Of the two CUs, only one was acceptable per word. I’m not sure that’s playing fair. (2 years, 2 months ago)

gridlington @ #65298: Oh, very good! Yes, I liked that a lot! And I didn't get the concept so didn't solve any of them! The pluralisation is explained in the answers - GROUPS which could contain a common clue. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Panther Grrl @ #48141: I like blues and whales. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65298: True, the pluralisation threw me completely Without that good grid Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

IanB @ #65271: 'Minor' as in small but it's 'Miner' as in digging. (2 years, 2 months ago)

film buff @ #65263: Yes Wye Knott, I did ponder that one but decided it just squeaked in. Wondered if it would get picked up. "Technically" correct. ( ; ) (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #65264: Alovely idea. I don't think it needed the capitals the dots or the initials It was also a quickone. You could make a more interesting puzzle by thinking of clues that could go into multiple groups (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65264: Nice one. Couple of clues are missing the initials though. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #65248: @Jonkheer - The grid has been altered since he/she made that comment. At the time it was correct. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jonkheer @ #65248: @nitpicker Incredible that you not only didn't realise 'maleficent' was a totally different word to 'malignant,' but also can't seem to tell the difference between verbs and adjectives, and yet you 'corrected' the grid creator with such confidence (2 years, 2 months ago)

b @ #65004: I agree with Freddgar : you'd have done better with something other than Er Sunday (2 years, 2 months ago)

b @ #65019: There was a lot there I didn't know. I've never read Harry Potter and the Disney group meant nothing to me. But that doesn't make it a bad grid, so I gave you reasonable gradings (2 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #65066: Not sure pi is a math calculation, but otherwise good. (2 years, 2 months ago)

edpo @ #65092: Nice grid with some good red herrings. I feel like the connection for the Churchill group is a little too specific though. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Tyler @ #65094: Second one I completed! Great grid and not too difficult or pop culturey (2 years, 2 months ago)

aq @ #65076: yeah, isn't it bey blade? it's still very good. :D (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65078: @RPM make your mind up what your username is. Is it the former RPM, or the latter NONC3 ? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65066: Good grid, got most of it. Didn't know the horsey thing. You win by loads. Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

Kitty @ #65078: Is this a new way to make a grid: misspell words til they fit? Take a little more care and you might have something. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65077: Lots of little annoyances here - spelling, for a start, use of the old name for Türkiye, ice not really belonging to that group, and almost anything can be a name, so it's not really a valid connection for that group. (2 years, 2 months ago)

RMP @ #65076: This wood have bean a FANTASTIC pussgrid if u speld the words correctly. Suggestion: use reel words. (2 years, 2 months ago)

ntrsRory @ #65070: Excellent. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Plod @ #65070: Well I liked it (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65063: Something very wrong with Ae and Ze in the pronoun group; they're not even words in any language I recognise. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65066: Nice one. @Wye Knott, I didn't know that clue either but got the group and the connection anyway from the other three. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65067: Couple of your crackers are very dubious and your nugget group is just bizarre. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65048: I could only see 6 options, hmmm. wd ty (2 years, 2 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #65054: This should at least be hard, not medium, to have so many specific pop culture references. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #65025: I got the cream group but thought the connection was that you could add Y to the end. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #65027: Really enjoyed this. The loose theme between the four connections helped me get the last group. (2 years, 2 months ago)

ntrsRory @ #65002: Very nice. Simple catergories, but lots of crossovers. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Kitty @ #65005: It's the Corrs, not Coors (2 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64948: The Oliver Twist group doesn’t work. It is such a tenuous link I can’t imagine anyone guessing it. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Jen @ #22182: You spelled rhythm incorrectly but a good grid nonetheless (2 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #65014: Loved it, relatively simple with a really good twist at the end (if one did the g I'd my way). WD and TY (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #65004: Good grid, couple of nice red herrings Er Sunday gave the game away, good though 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 2 months ago)

zbj @ #65014: nice one! (2 years, 2 months ago)

A @ #64998: Decent but having the 'auto' group all in lowercase is a bit of a giveaway (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #64957: Couple of the bits are a bit contorted, a baseball cap surely has a peak, not a bill, and I've no idea even what FNAF is, let alone the 1987 reference. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Plod @ #65013: Wye Knott long memory (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65013: 2 times? - leaf it out. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #65007: Yes! very good (2 years, 2 months ago)

edpo @ #65013: Great grid, I'm thirsty now! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65009: 0/10. Too convoluted for me (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65003: I don't like ;character names' in general, always going to be too niche for anyone not into xyz. And you should explain why Ricciardo is connected to the number (Yes, _I_ know). (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #65002: Very nice, (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #64975: Grrr, Pokemon links should be banned. (2 years, 2 months ago)

RMP @ #65009: Nice themes, most of which I missed. I think you mean "remove" not "reform" in one of the links (2 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #65008: By your own explanations, there are interchangable answers. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Anvil @ #65002: Nice red herrings! Only one "i" in Huawei, tho, and Rhodium, etc, are "elements" as well as precious metals. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ben @ #64984: LOVED the Dumb group. 10/10 (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7529: Can swap black and yellow. So it's not a grid (2 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #65002: Very simple! But well put together (2 years, 2 months ago)

DanieleManieleBaniele @ #64979: @RMP Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain? I see thee yet, in form as palpable As this which now I draw. Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going; And such an instrument I was to use. Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses, Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still, And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood, Which was not so before. There's no such thing: It is the bloody business which informs Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder, Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf, Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace. With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth, Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear Thy very stones prate of my whereabout, And take the present horror from the time, Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives: Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives. (2 years, 2 months ago)

RMP @ #64979: Very nice! (2 years, 2 months ago)

RMP @ #64985: Nice ideas but two typos: Rachel not Rachael and Surprise not Suprise (2 years, 2 months ago)

Ace @ #64977: Too much overlap, not just one unique solution. Manticore is in HP, several of the HP ones have also been used in logos (Unicorns and Phoenixes are quite commonly used as such) etc. (2 years, 2 months ago)

DanieleManieleBaniele @ #64984: Excellent grid zbj! I think Woody is technically Pixar, not Disney, but otherwise excellent! (2 years, 2 months ago)

Chester @ #64958: Hi Plod - the comment from mal[content] .... what am I saying - ignore them, you know the grid works [on a fun level,[ and Her knows, it is meant to be fun] mal and the rest can......... (2 years, 2 months ago)

Plod @ #64958: @mal I realise not all are strictly homophones but it seems to be more generally accepted here, just as 'synonym' is frequently accepted whilst not always accurate either. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Plod @ #64958: Thanks Danielle! (2 years, 2 months ago)

mal @ #64958: Decent grid let down by the homophone round ( they're not homophones) . Change that and it'll be very good (2 years, 2 months ago)

Vanessa @ #64949: It would be worth reconsidering both the acceptable field of words for answers and the final link, which is a somewhat tenuous gathering of ideas and events in 'Oliver Twist'. 19th century is the 1800s.

J @ #64922: "The NATO Phonetic Alphabet: Note that “Alpha” is written as “Alfa” and “Juliet” is written as “Juliett”, which are the spellings still in use in the international version of the alphabet, to avoid possible critical mispronunciations by speakers of other languages."

Plod @ #64893: *Quite easy when the penny drops. (2 years, 2 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64889: Tough one, thank you! Shouldn't it be "Willy's" and not "Wily's" - that caught me out? (2 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #64884: Thank You!!!! Oh how I miss the "things you can ..." groups! (2 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #64881: *blind (2 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #64881: I got 1, again just one not points, and that was the shortest and still a 50/50. I have a line spot with this format. LOL (2 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #64882: Kneesy, like that Pat (2 years, 2 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64877: Should take "leader" - and the name one is a weird link, since Albert and Alex are totally distinct names and not all of them go by "Al" (2 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #64885: Brilliant (2 years, 2 months ago)

Gamnara @ #64821: Hm, just double checked and I *did* remember to put it on there. I don’t know why it didn’t show up as correct for you. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64886: Joe, crumbs haven't heard his name for decades. Certainly put me "In the Mood" 10s all round Thanks for posting @ Plod, nope there's loads of us Crumblies still alive and kicking who used to listen to him on the wireless (2 years, 2 months ago)

Bina @ #29830: I'm not sure this has unique solutions as "Pet" (Pet Cat and Pet Shop) and "Top" (Top Cat and Top Shop) could be swapped over. (2 years, 2 months ago)

fi @ #64886: what a stinker!! i knew some of the links, just couldn't find the groups. also got my mind stuck on joe being a usa term for coffee, have heard of joe loss & his orchestra. (2 years, 2 months ago)

Rossmondo @ #64886: That Joe one was lost on me! Nice grid. (2 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #64886: Must confess you came to mind at that point :-) (2 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #64885: got there but there was nearly a shock in it. (2 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #64866: Good grid. Only 5/10. Only got one group but all the answers. Kept thinking of assassinations and attempted assassinations as possible groups (2 years, 3 months ago)

endless suffering @ #64828: Pokemon can suck it. Puerto Rico not a country you mongrel. Also flame do be bad (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64867: Clever, TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64867: I see what you did there! Good work! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64866: Nearly - I only got 7/10. I dont know my airports! The palindromes group was great. Very enjoyable grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64865: Grenada is not a french overseas territory. Also confusing to use current country names for former colonies together with regions/island groups. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Geagea @ #64865: So good! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian as well @ #64854: Baby's first puzzgrid? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dave @ #64860: How the hell do you spread Bovril on toast...?! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hypatia @ #64838: should also take "title" or "honorific" for the Clue clue (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jodmis @ #64844: Tough I thought, nice one (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64860: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

mal @ #64836: easy but fun, nice crossovers (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64857: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64854: Well Done. (2 years, 3 months ago)

A @ #64791: Taxi with a missing I, while the others have a missing s, perfectly valid but my god that's sneaky! (2 years, 3 months ago)

edpo @ #64836: Nice grid! Some tricky crossovers (2 years, 3 months ago)

DH @ #64834: quality grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

mls @ #64838: Great job. I'd rate it hard. I got the references pretty quickly, but the game and tv show were part of my childhood. The Jackie one threw me, but I got a laugh when it clicked. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64852: Good try but not workable as a grid as most of these are interchangable - many of the terms could be assigned to 2 or even 3 of your categories. (2 years, 3 months ago)

edpo @ #64831: Clever idea! (2 years, 3 months ago)

walsh06 @ #64831: The footballer group should probably accept English strikers as well (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daphne @ #51916: Fun grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64828: I also put Rugby. Agree that given the other groups, the pokemon connection is unnecessary, and many other links (eg red and white on flags). Also Puerto Rico is not a country. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daphne @ #64823: Nice balance (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64831: Perfect! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #64846: Excellent puzzgrid (2 years, 3 months ago)

emptysee @ #64838: This is the first grid I've submitted. is Medium the right difficulty level for this? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #12523: What on earth is "buss"? Sorry, no! (2 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #64832: Cine. (2 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #64834: *Kerrygold (2 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #64834: Not another Kerry good moment! That's twice today I have fallen foul because of this. Loved the grid, TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

scowrer @ #64836: Haven't made one of these in ages, said I'd make an easy little fella to shake off the cobwebs. Hope people enjoy. (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #64831: took me a while to figure out what was going on, had to leave astronaut group to do dr who. good grid, yayy streamers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sodjim @ #64830: Great fun grid, thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Michael.Hutchinson @ #64828: France group is too generic for reason imo. I put rugby but could be loads connecting them really. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64829: Loved it, thank you : ) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #64821: Excellent grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64811: Took me forever to separate the last two groups. For some reason, Air Line just didn't sound like a thing. Nice choices of words in each group. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64822: Can't believe I could only find 1 group. Very well done! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64826: Very nice! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64827: The idea is that grids are hard because of red herrings and non-obvious links, not just picking obscure groups in a form that makes the words meaningless. (2 years, 3 months ago)

nighttime @ #59351: I liked the red herring butcher baker etc (2 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #64822: Thank goodness I was wrong with the chicken line - I put chocolate lol. :-) 7/10 TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #64818: "Kneasy" confetti TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Theo @ #64811: Go planet! Really enjoyed this one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ghosty @ #64811: Wonderful, in retrospective, it was quite elementary. ;) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64813: Good grid TY :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64816: "luck" does not sound like "look" in any dialect I know! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64815: Fun. TY :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64807: Fun, easy grid. TY :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ham @ #64811: #64534 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dan Egan @ #64199: was able to separate without knowing anything but publishers row... (2 years, 3 months ago)

DH @ #64807: awesome (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64807: Nice, very nice TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64805: @ Vicky and David, I have amended as suggested. @ David, I thought of that but deliberately decided to throw a slight curve ball into the quiz. Thanks for playing and your constructive feedback (2 years, 3 months ago)

misof @ #63903: Easy to solve but a bit meh writing. In the metal group three of them contain the metal also semantically, one (tinder) doesn't. Isn't ambiguous, just doesn't feel nice. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #64813: They are types of snake singular and if you use the singular form the plural will also be correct. Otherwise a good grid thanks. (2 years, 3 months ago)

mal @ #64807: Fairly easy but fun, decent cross overs. Nicely done (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64807: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #64805: Agree with Vicky, good as it had a theme for three rows maybe make the fourth similar. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64799: good simple grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #64808: Nice grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64807: Some good crossovers! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64799: Good grid, ty. Do think 'speak' should have been an option to answer the 'utter' row. (2 years, 3 months ago)

nighttime @ #60303: and kittens is a kindle :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

nighttime @ #60303: Fun grid, but a litter is the young of any mammal. It is a clutter of cats, also a cluster. (2 years, 3 months ago)

jesse davidson @ #64789: good aussie quiz (2 years, 3 months ago)

Vicky @ #64805: I think it would be fair if the purple row accepted 'Transportation' as an answer (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ragman @ #64797: If you are putting your grid up with the Union Jack then there is no word 'gray'.... (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daphne @ #64730: Nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #59350: Just to leave off a letter from some fairly obvious words is simply lazy and unimaginative, which spoilt a reasonable grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64793: Very good (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64761: Homophones as a group work best if there's a connection between the alternative words. On its own it's a bit weak. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64756: No error, Scrofula [the disease] was once called the King's Evil. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daz @ #64799: good one! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64756: Seems to be an error, Evil in grid, disease in answer. Neither of them seems to fit, though. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64797: Different - esp your V line. Good grid TY :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #64719: I think that 'girl' should be removed from the description of one group. Perhaps say nothing or 'containing only women' instead. If you say 'girl', that's fine but it is then specific enough to only apply to only one of the four clues. (The others are hip-hop, rock and vocal.) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64799: Good grid TY :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #64786: Nice grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64792: Counsel - council what gives a damn. What I got was a smile and a genuine outloud chuckle. Thanks🙂 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jonkheer @ #64751: Fun, and made me giggle to myself when I was solving by trial and error – e.g. "Leave me alone, Im girl" (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64789: Very good, had me bamboozled. Me - "chicken....". straight over my head. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64799: Should have got confetti, especially when I had used the punch connection recently myself. Enjoyed, thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ryan J Murphy @ #64791: I've never even heard of Led Zeppelin 10/10 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Joanne @ #64791: 10/10. I like it! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Anastase @ #64791: Nice grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #64719: Enjoyed this one! :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #59527: Never seen Derry girls, but I got the grid right. Pretty easy in that respect (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dysgwr @ #64791: Lovely, thanks. (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64789: Wow - got nowhere with this but at least I know what chicken salt it now! Thanks, Hamburger (2 years, 3 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64791: That was hard, but great. Really threw me for ages, but got there. (2 years, 3 months ago)

max_shelton93 @ #64791: Lovely - very enjoyable. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Garth @ #64791: Excellent grid. Thanks. (2 years, 3 months ago)

James Rawson @ #64791: Lovely stuff as always (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64767: This has been miscoded as being in English. The grid and links are also in (I think) Norwegian. I don't mind being tested on other cultures, but please put the links in English. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64786: Enjoyed this grid. Sea going was the easiest group to spot. Not sure about hats being strong enough. (2 years, 3 months ago)

orchard91 @ #64786: Thanks for the comments. On reflection, you're right, the marooning was really more notable in that case. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64786: I was on the right path with a few but couldn't solve it in time. Nice grid, cheers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sredni @ #64776: Cleverly constructed. A classic. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sredni @ #64791: Perfectly formed. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64791: I like the mother line. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hamburger @ #64719: This is good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #64771: My trivia is not so good, so I liked it (2 years, 3 months ago)

jesss @ #41311: Tom Cruise was a bit vague compared to the rest perhaps? otherwise absolutely fab !! (2 years, 3 months ago)

jesss @ #32895: very well thought out, much enjoyed :)) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pato @ #64786: I liked this, though to be picky one of them was famed for not seafaring but being marrooned? (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #60164: Cornel West, Jerry West? Due can go with any group, so you could swap Due and Korea, which isn't what's supposed to happen. (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64749: OK, though I can understand some purists would say there's a little flexibility in some answers where there should not be. West Germany, East Ham; South Pole, North Africa (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64770: Quite tricky. Also the Cook one looks to be a zero not a letter O (2 years, 3 months ago)

DH @ #64766: great grid cheers (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #64476: Nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #64759: Nice one (2 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64750: good grid - (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64750: Easy k e, nice links. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64755: This has been wrongly coded as being in English. It, and all the answers, is entirely in French. The two negative rows are more or less interchangeable. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #64719: Great grid. Top marks. Do some more please. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #64749: It does not have a unique solution which they should. Crossovers are required but it can't have several solutions. Germany and Ham for example could be swapped and it makes a correct solution - this should not happen (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64749: With 'paw' I felt the urge to write 'sarf'. Got the confetti though. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64721: @ Jonny - I agree, I'd switch one of them out for Dominica or Samoa. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Trixie @ #64749: Yes Paul, some crossovers needed, don't want it to be too easy. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64749: Seems like some of the N-S and E-W ones could be swapped. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64751: Great! (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64749: Cleverly made - took me longer than it should have because so many crossovers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #64707: These are 'Council areas' not 'Regions'. Except 'Ross' is not a council area, 'Ross and Cromarty' is on that list. (2 years, 3 months ago)

film buff @ #64731: Tak (2 years, 3 months ago)

PJ @ #64730: This is even more difficult if you know that "barry" mean horizontal stripes. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bliss @ #64745: Happy with 6/10. Ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64719: I loved how you had a red herring for the fruit-based clue but, to compensate, put some very obvious clues for that category. A lot of the times the "part of word" clues are super sneaky, so I appreciate making this one a bit more visible. (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64648: nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64668: Nice grid! Just a word of caution, the flying category could also just be classified as "animals" so might be good to have one item in there that is not an animal that can be preceded with flying just to ensure there's not two possible connections! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64673: Not very scientific. (2 years, 3 months ago)

May @ #64662: @Ace, how is Canute a dog? Gnosticism is a religion. Just as Buddism is. Both are spiritual experiences without a deity. As someone who works 2 days a week as a volunteer, I rather resent not being regarded as a worker by you. Some people like to fault find. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64662: Sorry, didn't mean to sound so harsh. Good effort anyway. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64662: Really should allow dog, no need to be so specific. Volunteer is none of the 4 words listed, and gnostic isn't really a religion. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lin @ #64640: Didn't accept body parts of movement :( (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64660: Seeing your posting name (thanks for that at least) I clicked this and left it alone for 3 minutes just to see the answers. Not a single one makes any sense to me. (2 years, 3 months ago)

d @ #64617: Same for me Fi. Could see the categories but there were too many obscure (to me) answers for me to be able to get any of the groups. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #64658: You need to add a word, phrase, or set of words that you'll accept as an answer. Xeon, Pentium etc. are all processors - so your the accepted answer(s) might be 'processors' or 'data processors' or 'computer processors'. The answers you've given for each category are not answers the average person will give you - which makes grids like yours very frustrating to play. (2 years, 3 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64534: Neat concept 👍 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #64649: Random Harvest - a go to movie for me, so that line was easy[ish]. NK not a massive fan, so no idea on that line. Freaks is also a must watch movie, so that line was the easiest.

Ace @ #64614: Nice idea, only slightly let down by a couple of inconsistencies. Once I'd got the idea I was looking for the first part to be the whole answer, two of them were the the other way round which threw me. (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64595: I've never seen a Sony wotsit but got that group, so your answer is unnecessarily complex. Also I got the rail group although I live 200 miles from London and know little about the Tube map, so that too is unreasonable for people outside the capital. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #34789: Cool. Most quite easy. I'd never heard of Captain Haddock and Captain Planet though! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #48309: If this was created for younger children, then it's quite nice. Too easy for an adult! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Julia Hird-Evans @ #64528: Nice. Quite easy to crack, but you need some easy ones for the beginners to learn this. Well done (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64557: Love this puzzle a lot. You know it's good when I'm hunched over my desk reading the clues out loud over and over like a maniac. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Trixie fan @ #64528: It might be simple but it's a good confidence boost, thanks for posting, John: get a life (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #64551: got fixed on bambi so took awhile, also wasnt sue of some spellings. great satisfaction when i saw the 10 point confetti! (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64534: 10/10. Really straightforward, but a nice idea, and nothing anybody can complain about, which takes a bit of doing on here! Well done. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Anisa @ #64513: 10/10! Fabulous grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

DriveBetter @ #64526: *pedant alert* : Viking helmets didn’t have horns. Thank you for making this though. (2 years, 3 months ago)

mattstak @ #64561: Reupload of 64555, because I accidentally marked it as UK instead of US. (2 years, 3 months ago)

mattstak @ #64475: My mistake, I've updated the grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jet Jaguar @ #64475: "Air" is not a Pokémon type; "Flying" is. Otherwise, this was a great puzzle! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lin @ #64488: Please accept repeated (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64553: Your magnets could also be parts of an electric circuit. Batteries have poles too. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daphne @ #55929: Nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daphne @ #55958: Good grid. Nice mix (2 years, 3 months ago)

zbj @ #64545: good one! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64537: Nice grid, but the answer descriptions contain the connections for the other groups, where you mention the red herring. Spoils the fun a bit. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64537: That's not how you spell Volkswagen (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64534: kicking myself! Very nice. (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64534: nice themed grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #64534: Cool (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64513: Different, but 10/10, so different is good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dave @ #64522: Great stuff, TY. The Indie group threw me as I was trying to think what those stones in Temple of Doom could possibly be called from the selection! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dave @ #64534: Nice theme, a bit straight forward once you spot it. Thanks! (2 years, 3 months ago)

hugh @ #20426: also porter (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64476: For ages I was thinking "I don't know any famous potters"! Good category, and just the right challenge for me (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64525: Fun challenge, it didn't help that I had Uncle Bulgaria as the smartest womble! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64526: Really enjoyed this one. Inventive categories. The 'horns' one was the best, but each idea was original and challenging (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64529: It Lan got me too. But this was a fun twist, very original. And it was gettable despite the high-brow subjects, which is a perfect balance imho (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #64529: Couldn't work out who ITLAN was... oh well (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daphne @ #29992: Nice grid-well constructed (2 years, 3 months ago)

blakrabit @ #64432: "give away" doesn't count, eh? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64532: resolved the wall but....used a different descriptor word for the search line. I know "accept the point anyway" :-) ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64534: took me a while to spot what was going on, but got there in the end. ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64526: Tough, but pretty good. The letters one is a bit simple, but works as a misdirect. Got 7/10 because I thought the hairdressers were designers... (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gary @ #64518: Utter nonsense (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64528: A bit too simple , I feel. (2 years, 3 months ago)

GusTheFox @ #64526: Very good. Perhaps Ace is just a bit thick 🤷‍♂️ (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #64526: I like this grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sredni @ #64526: Loved this. Something a bit different. Very good fun. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64527: You presumably meant ambivilous? Doesn't really work with your definition, nothing to do with hands per se. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64526: One good group, the others... Viking Helmets didn't have horns, the concept of celebrity hairdressers is laughable and incredibly niche and the letters one is just too simplistic. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64506: Only one e in pale nanny, so it's not an anagram of Penny Lane (2 years, 3 months ago)

Shane @ #64513: Yep, loved it. Not hard but good unusual concept. The dots were important, would have made no sense otherwise. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kanye West @ #42675: Skete took my kids man. on god I'm mad (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wally Winka @ #64373: Where did I park my car? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wally Winka @ #64406: Has anyone seenmy keys? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64513: I ran out of time - had to restart. Spotted the format just too late, but got them eventually. Very good! (2 years, 3 months ago)

mal @ #64513: took me a minute and half, nice grid, let down by one proper noun. Change that and it'd be very good (2 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64520: nice grid 10/10 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #64519: Nice. Best for some time in fact, though confetti with a minute left means maybe it was a bit too easy? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64517: Fun to do, solved the wall. As for the Flipper line, as VCM says "If you don't know...guess". 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64396: It stumped me, but it was fair and fun. I would not have guessed this was a first try - very well done. (2 years, 3 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64513: LIked it (2 years, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64520: Yeah,nice. Very clever. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64517: Fun and straightforward. Thanks. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #64509: Enjoyed this one. Spikethecat may not have noticed the red herrings but I got caught up on the metals non-group for a while. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64468: Hot chilli, mainly american term for a fruit stone. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64513: I appreciate the decision to use the dots to guide the solver. I feel like they could have been omitted and it would have made the puzzle less accessible. Nice design choice! (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64501: 12 seconds (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64468: Ghost pepper? Peach pit? All a bit weird. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64513: I found this super easy but fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64513: good consistent grid, well done. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64515: Just because they can have layers doesn't really make it a valid grouping; if they always have then sure, but you're requiring a second level of abstraction. Likewise the anagrams of homophones and the second letter green things - yes, fiendish, but too contrived to feel that they should have been achievable. (2 years, 3 months ago)

ChuckieD @ #64515: Ian, give me an example of which one is confusing you and I'll see if i can improve it (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64515: 'have' and 'can have ' are not the same thing. Too random. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64509: What is univited? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64513: Fun while it lasted. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64513: Nice one. Not as easy as it looks even when you've got the format, took me 2:58 to get them all. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64513: Fun format, plenty of potential for future grids too (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64509: This felt like a proper old fashioned grid, with categories beyond "words that can be followed by X". Also, any mention of Alanis Morrisette is always a win (2 years, 3 months ago)

AJ @ #64260: I took the quart/ounce/teaspoon/pint as a general measurement match (first one I got). I missed the explanation on the Tea match. I guessed "disposable". (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64473: OK but cart isn't quatre, now is it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64437: Brilliant grid. Loved the knotty puzzles. Please include clergy as an answer. Clergy - Body of persons, such as ministers, sheiks, priests and rabbis, who are trained and ordained for religious service Thanks :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

b @ #64476: 10/10 for me. Nothing I can dispute or criticise there, which makes a hugely wonderful change from too many on here. Good one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #64489: initially thought these were anagrams but then i was muttering the designers and had a light bulb moment. i also do not pronounce "dew" with a j. clever but i did wonder at first about compilers literacy, sorry! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64499: Way too many possible categories here, and too many of the items could be swapped between the groups you've assigned. Oddly both esoteric and random. (2 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #64487: Nice and easy grid, good red red herrings 10 all round Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Kott @ #64473: I thought I was good at mangled "homowotsits" but you are on a par with Ronnie Barker. You ARE having fun. EGGS SELL ANT! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #64486: niche? everyone knows all these. Even though I wasted the first 30 secs trying to match all the dogs! (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64494: D B Cooper did not kill anyone did they? Some of the people suspected of being him did, but he is not an unidentified serial killer. Also don't understand the ted cruz reference. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64479: The word is not there, but there is an actual scream in the most common recorded version... (2 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #64494: D.B Cooper & Ted Cruz on a par with the other two ?? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64489: A bit oversimple but still fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64497: Moon knight? Oh, a comic book hero, how novel. More importantly, what sort of a connection is "in the name"? They're all colours, just about, but no idea what your link means. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64489: good grid - bit different 10/10 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Avenger @ #11716: Obviously Imperial a university ( a good one too). The problem is the Oxford ( weave), jacquard (knit). (Single/ double) jersey group --- none are shirts but more a reference to the fabric used and the "skinny" .. which is a kind of french fry. "Fit" is not a type of shirt. Apart from that, a great grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64463: Nice mix of clue types with quite a few red herrings. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64462: Not bad. Could work a little bit on your answers, an egg is not actually spherical; and what is a foam wall? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64461: Possibly the easiest grid I've ever seen here, but the answers could do with some work, e.g. 1234, abc not valid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #64473: Excellent (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64454: 1. Not everybody uses the US-English keyboard layout. 2, Apostrophe comes from Greek via Latin, with no French link. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64396: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64453: Enjoyed this grid. Gentle. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Superrodan @ #64453: Took me a long while to find the first group, because I was so focused on trying to force the category that had at least three other things that could have fit into it. Once I got the groups down though, it all clicked. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Superrodan @ #64455: I liked this one but man would it feels as though it would have been nearly impossible without having played Magic the Gathering before. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Boris J @ #64454: Terrible connections,apart from the punctuation. Apostrophe from French origin? No, it’s Greek. It’s not a red herring it’s just lack of basic research. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64296: Finished it with one second left! Awesome puzzle, thank you! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #64443: This was not medium difficulty, this was at least hard. Like how many people know about music hall songs (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64453: Nice one. For some reasons all the groups fell out on the first attempt, so I didn't spot the red herring until later. Too easy, or did I just get lucky? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64442: Searched for ages for the lost Saint. Still don't get it, did they name a child Saint? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sredni @ #64437: Brilliant one. Thanks! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64443: Yes, but is there "on the waterfront"? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64430: All very nice, until I got to one last group I couldn't work out. Which turned out to be so niche and specialist it really shouldn't be in a general interest grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fred @ #64426: (2 years, 3 months ago)

barry womble @ #64440: Really good grid. Solved by luck rather than judgement. (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64338: Some daft clues and groupings here. Box of frogs, bag of spanners : utter nonsense. I hope others will copy me and mark you down. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bli231957 @ #64401: Not of the the 'ate's were verbs, for example 'Carbonate'. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #64439: I had re_____ for trans_____ (2 years, 3 months ago)

Matt @ #64414: You lot need to chill the F out a bit (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jonkheer @ #64428: Nice grid. Couple notes: would have quite liked it to accept 'residence' and I have never heard of 'red fever' – did you mean 'scarlet fever'? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64434: Good ideas, but spoiled by incorrect spelling and either swappable answers, or answers put into the wrong group (e g. I've never heard of a tenor drum, but if it exists tenor could still be swapped with bass in the voice group). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ant @ #64406: Very good, thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Obama @ #59119: I haven’t drank in years please help (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lord Bumwad @ #64414: Crikey, nearly made me drop my monocle. (2 years, 3 months ago)

mal @ #64406: Tricksy! and fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64428: Enjoyed this one, red herrings galore. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fisty @ #64396: Good grid, got clothes group just in time. Awesome effort (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64414: Did Freud make this one? Tbf, I found it harmlessly amusing (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64403: I wondered where Swisscows would end up. All rather too techy, of interest only to geeks. I've marked you down. (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64414: Pink oboe? Nonsense. I agree with an earlier comment that some of this may not be suitable for all. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Garth @ #64388: Tits! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64414: Schoolboyish (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64417: Annoying that I didn't spot it, but such ridiculously simplistic groupings are really not in the spirit of the thing, IMO. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Christine Ann Hopper @ #64414: not suitable (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64406: Nice crossovers. Consider adding EPL to the correct link for that row. (2 years, 3 months ago)

me @ #64417: nice (2 years, 3 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64406: Enjoyed that! 🙂 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64401: I agree with Malcontent. The periodic table knowledge required is so specialised only chemical science grads could possibly have a chance. I guessed at 'metal', which could have been use instead. (2 years, 3 months ago)

asmr @ #64413: its proper good (2 years, 3 months ago)

gergo @ #64290: this was the best time of my life (2 years, 3 months ago)

tom @ #64396: apparently i had a really good time and apparently i've never been on television before and apparently you go really fast (2 years, 3 months ago)

fisted @ #64406: bloody good time (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lucy @ #64396: Enjoyed it, thank you, couldnt get the clothes group connection but you cant win em all! :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Plod @ #64380: ... and you almost got me on the fruity drink group. (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64407: Tough one which I didn't complete - thank you for the challenge. Also, zodiac does not bring success unlike your answer of astrological. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Kott @ #64410: Nice one Richard, you suckered me in with the herring. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64396: Very good, it was the Tier line wot done for me. Couple of very nice red herrings. You win 10-7. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64396: OK (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64407: With Marathon and Potemkin, I was thinking battles XD (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64406: Some great red herrings, two bodies of water in the football teams in particular (2 years, 3 months ago)

Lisbon Geaville @ #64290: Excellent grid! (2 years, 3 months ago)

hans @ #64385: nice mix of topics (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mike @ #64396: Nice. 6 homophones to slow the button smashers. I Just could not see the clothes group..normally a bra would leap out at me. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64401: A couple of good ideas, but not a great grid. One group had very over-specific link, considering how loose one of the other groups was, and the 'ate' grouping was extremely weak, especially as 'verbs' wasn't accepted as a link. (2 years, 3 months ago)

ernst blofinger @ #64389: the skin condition set... a thing of beauty... (2 years, 3 months ago)

Chester @ #64396: Some old favourites in there, but nicely put together. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

mal @ #64396: fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64380: I stand corrected, Duran Duran are obscure but damned fine (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #64396: Good grid for first time. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jesus @ #29822: Terrible. +7 sin points (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jesus @ #64317: If only there was a word for a collection of limbs compiled into one flesh heap (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jesus @ #64379: I approve... I'll save you a seat in heaven (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jesus @ #64363: Great puzzle.... until the name garbage (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64390: Thanks for reminding me how much I flunked science at school (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64380: Some Duran Duran fighting talk here. Good grid, mind (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64389: Some original categories here. Never heard of a party wall but that maybe says more about me (2 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #64290: Good grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

Sin @ #64405: I rated 5 can i have my family back now please? (2 years, 3 months ago)

DrDan_39 @ #64405: This was challenging, yet still enjoyable. great PuzzGrid!! another one please!! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fan @ #64405: Decent, 3/10 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Boyi Li @ #64401: Very Good! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64396: tomhacfc - don't worry too much. Some will like and day so, some will like but leave no message, some just enjoy picking faults. As long as you have fun - do it (2 years, 3 months ago)

tomhcafc @ #64396: Thanks JBGrumpy, this was my first attempt so would like to know what people think before attempting any others (2 years, 3 months ago)

gabe @ #64388: ugh, saw reap/pear early on, but could not find others. was distracted by the san genaro festival, which is actually san gennaro. :( (2 years, 3 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #64396: Nice grid. 🙂 (2 years, 3 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #64397: The country group didn't accept country as an answer. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Alison Page @ #64399: test (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64382: I spotted the head connection pretty quickly too, the other one just dropped out although I confess I didn't know the more obscure member of that group either. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64398: You already did this. Bad enough the first time. We get it, you like Taylor Swift. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64382: Capone and Essex lines were easy for me (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64397: Far too many valid combinations for french things and food; three of the latter group are also 'french' and all the french things are food. Oh, and you might allow nation or state in the country group answers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64382: @Wye Knott, I'd love to know which are the two you thought were straightforward and which not. They seem about equally difficult to me. (2 years, 3 months ago)

tomhcafc @ #64388: Great grid, got the links but ran out of time (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64392: Good one. Got there in the end but needed more time. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Blondie @ #64389: RMP, I know but I did see it several colour charts. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64389: I have never heard penny used in that sense (2 years, 3 months ago)

Malcontent @ #64388: Really good. I was totally stuck for a minute, until I spotted the Genaro link, after that, the other groups fell into place. Thank you. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64390: Your branch answer doesn't really work. They're all vaguely similar to ,somehow related even, but certainly non synonyms of branch or of each other. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64379: Really liked this (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #64367: how is the average uk person supposed to get the groups? we are sadly not usually fluent in other languages. (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #64359: yes rich, thats why i thought they were the french revolution months. i guessed the cricket answer but never watched game of thrones so no hope with that one (2 years, 3 months ago)

Maureess @ #64380: Not really sure that "Will" fits in a group of question words. Also Wild Boys is ace (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64387: Really shouldn't be ticked as 'of general interest'. (2 years, 3 months ago)

a @ #64379: (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64380: Will doesn't really fit with Who, When . . . And some of the songs are pretty obscure. So I've marked you down. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Daz @ #64387: Please warn me not to bother with these sort of grids... (2 years, 3 months ago)

DH @ #64379: Delightful! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #55535: Enjoyable grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wye Knott @ #64382: Loved it. Well loved getting two straightforward lines and then being educated. Thanks 👍 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #64360: Bit easy for us big brains (2 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64380: Excellent, loved the red herrings, very clever. Got the lot with 44s to go. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Emma @ #64015: ". Dogs" needs an edit. Good grid though. Thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64373: Great quiz and a reminder that Tom Hardy is not always a guarantee that a movie is good (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64359: This grid wasn't the run of the milly, but anything else would be silly (2 years, 3 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64379: Nice! (2 years, 3 months ago)

John @ #64380: Excellent - thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #64336: Well done 👏 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64380: Nice one. Didn't spot the "homowotsits" at all, let alone the red herrings thereof, your cleverness was wasted in me. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64378: Got them all right, but only in English. Please mark with correct language. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hutch @ #64359: Brisk does mean cold. (But I admit blowy is a bit of a stretch.) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helga @ #64364: Nicely balanced quiz. (2 years, 3 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64364: Really difficult! I had a couple of the groups, but couldn't get past the crossovers. Excellent work. (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64359: Brisk does not mean cold, and I've never seen GoT - got better things to do. The cricketers were the easy bit. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64352: Hard to do in German when you don't have an umlaut on your keyboard, or a ss. Fun, easy grid for a basic German speaker. Thanks :-) Vieilen Dank (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jay @ #64362: Fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64336: Very good. High quality explanations too. Thanks :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bob Johnson @ #64360: We were 100% sure the Rings were the Pokemon Generation 1 games. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64359: Enjoyed this grid. I doubt non-cricket fans did. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64347: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #64338: Liked it, quite easy although I worded the connection wrong on one I still enjoyed (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dave @ #64347: Think it's a sign I spend too long on this website that the hidden fish was the first group I saw 🙂 thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64323: Excellent grid (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64300: well done, good fun (2 years, 3 months ago)

chortle @ #64333: Who is Tom Waits? Meander and coast do not mean the same thing so cannot by synonyms, and Baker is a current occupation - the MIddle Ages thing is somewhat tenuous. Silly thing is, I enjoyed it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64335: @count snackula, Brian, I guess. (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64333: a bit iffy (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64338: good one, well done to the setter (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64325: Excellent quiz. Couldn’t solve it but had fun trying! Thanks for sharing (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64327: Sorry but this is just too arbitrary - you could just as easily find phrases that use 'break, cut, back' etc for any of these categories. (2 years, 3 months ago)

George @ #64335: You had to think of different accents because they were not all homophones (2 years, 3 months ago)

George @ #64347: Spine a sharp point? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64335: Clever, I liked it- though I had to imagine a particular accent for one category! Fun. (2 years, 3 months ago)

TR6 @ #64345: good (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64338: Nice one. Maybe allow face as well? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #64325: I always enjoy the picture grids. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #64323: A nice grid, particularly for someone my age. (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64325: like it (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64290: quite good (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64343: I'm sorry, but the answers to this are ridiculously tight. I put "Cartoon characters", "Clothing","colours", "fruit", every single one of which was "incorrect". Also "Gamboll" and "Sponjbob" do not exist. The latter I think is a typo for "Spongebob", the former I have no idea, maybe "Gumball"? (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64344: "Spanjbob"?? Also the the links are *very* restrictive e.g. US spellings only accepted (color not colour). And one (fruit) I think was only rejected because I didn't capitalize it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

josh @ #64338: god awful, would rather eat razor blades tbh (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #57877: Very good - had to cheat with Google's song identifier! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #57936: Ya beat me! Very good and enjoyable! Rys - don't dis the Marmite! 😀 (Bill Bryson said that for years he wondered what this "Marmite" was that he'd heard about, never for a moment guessing it was an edible lubricant! 🤣 ) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64325: Wonderful! Refreshing change from some very "samey" grids lately! TY Castellan: no, snooker balls in the triangular frame are all red. That's pool. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Anvil @ #64332: Synagogue, with a "u". (2 years, 3 months ago)

fi @ #64333: 1, i dont think the synonyms group are. 2, the occupations are not limited to the middle ages. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Naomi @ #64333: I put "wander about" for meander etc, something likes that should be permitted. Great grid! Almost got distracted with fake group "adrift", "ascribe", "awaits". (2 years, 3 months ago)

Yo @ #2093: John Boy is a character from a 70's TV show called "The Waltons". (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #64331: Hmm never felt more like I wasted my time on here (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pauline @ #64331: If you are not a Taylor Swift fan then don't bother (2 years, 3 months ago)

gabe @ #61938: TIL americans spell a certain word differently :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64327: Not bad, but perhaps a bit too contrived. I correctly guessed two of the connections but even then could not get any of the groups. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #64325: Bloody red herrings! VG Wd TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Castellan Spandrell @ #64325: I thought that was snooker ? (2 years, 3 months ago)

misof @ #64322: Decent grid. A minus for me is that "Eyeliner" is actually related to eyes. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty @ #64325: Fun TY! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64290: Enjoyed this grid muchly. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64322: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64307: Enjoyed the crossovers, and bird based themes (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64315: Nice, although the T group could also all be colours. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Julie @ #24111: Feel like "villain organizations" should be allowed for a clue to the Hydra etc group. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Steve @ #64160: poor! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Jesus @ #295: Nice comment, Mark (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64315: Good one (2 years, 3 months ago)

lykke @ #43872: Medium? Na ja. Ziemlich easy-peasy (und ich bin echt nicht gut in diesen grids). Aber dass dann die wortwörtlich identische Erklärung (inkl. Satzzeichen!) 4x incorrect gegeben wird, ist schon ziemlich ärgerlich. (2 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #45: acoustics isn't right? (2 years, 3 months ago)

nighttime @ #64296: Nice! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64300: Enjoyed this - bit of fun. Thanks for sharing. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64307: Good fun. Thanks for sharing. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Dave @ #64307: Enjoyed, thanks. Slightly nerdy point of order: Ankara is in the Asian portion of Turkey, so is it a European capital? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #64305: Brannigan, I had heard of, will research the other. Ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #64307: Simply little quiz, I used groups as well as bands and capital cities worked fine for me. NFL had to be inserted as two of the four (at least are Rugby league teams. TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64307: Excellent grid. @RMP, Sports Teams clearly isn't specific enough, I put US football which was fine, whereas the bands don't have anything more detailed in common. (2 years, 3 months ago)

nitpicker @ #64296: Very nice - original and not at all obvious (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64306: No links in the "more info"; at least two misspellings ("linx" and "squriel") and "P" and "F" should be lower case. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64307: Some nice crossovers, but weird marking here: "bands" will do for one row but "Sports teams" will not do for another, and "capital cities" will not do for another. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Alf @ #64305: No, I didn't make them up! Both somewhat obscure, I'll grant you, but perhaps if you google a shade more slowly you'll find, as I did, that examples of those words with those meanings are really terribly easy to find. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64305: Skite? Brannigan? Did you just make them up? Even a quick google fails to find them used in any such context. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Fish @ #64296: This was great. Mystified how some people find this easy, I was grappling at thin air for a while (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64296: Yeah, nice one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64300: Fun. But I shouldn't really have been given 10/10 when I just typed homophone for the names group, given that I had, indeed still have, no idea what the connection is. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #64300: Not tricky, a smile maker ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #64300: Not really homophones (2 years, 3 months ago)

Joni @ #64237: Would never have guessed the Foden line but it made me smile. Thank you (2 years, 3 months ago)

Murdo @ #64291: Simon, don't apologise because one or two people give negative comments. You have found a new way to distact the solver and some don't like it. Well, that's their problem, not yours. As I see it, this grid has 32 words and we have to find 4 groups of 4. A clever idea on how to use the Puzzgrid format in a new way. Keep those variations coming. Well done. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bee @ #64220: Didn't get it cause I don't watch formula 1 (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #64298: Tougher than it looked. Ty (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64296: Very good - enjoyed this one. Thanks (2 years, 3 months ago)

Cassette @ #64180: Usually don't love grids of all names, but this one was fun! "Novelists" ought to be accepted, they've all published novels (2 years, 3 months ago)

Susan @ #64292: A couple of spelling mistakes-'Eid' and 'annoying' (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bobby @ #64292: Poop (2 years, 3 months ago)

Simon @ #64291: Sorry, that it is not good. This was just an idea I had for grid. Had no idea whether it would be good or bad. It was about figuring out the connections where there was 4 words. There were fake connections of 3s and 2s to make it harder. Sorry again. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64291: So half of each clue is completely superfluous? Sorry, that's not good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #64291: I don't get it. I got 10/10 by just ignoring one of the words in each clue. Is the other word in each a meaningless red herring? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64290: Nice one. (2 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #64277: Nice and easy grid, one nit pick. The Hawker Hurricane is a single seat, single engine propeller plane. First flight 1934. Googled, but couldn't find another Hurricane plane. 10s all round, thanks for posting. (2 years, 3 months ago)

A @ #64282: 2 crossovers that I can see: kayak is a type of boat, polo is food with a hole in it (2 years, 3 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #14775: Galop? (2 years, 3 months ago)

Helga @ #29913: Nicely balanced grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

count snackula @ #64260: nice, not too hard (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64282: Thank you but couldn't find any crossovers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64265: No worries. It's the other way round - if you put answer it will also accept answers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64265: Ace - I genuinely thought it would pick up singular guesses if the plural word included the singular word eg. “Answer” would be accepted if the option was “answers”. Will edit. Thanks for feedback. (2 years, 3 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64270: That was hard! Lots of misdirects, which I enjoyed. Good job. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Blondie @ #64277: Tom a Hurricane dates back to 30s & 40s. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tilly @ #64268: Good one (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #64277: Good grid, very tricky, but the Hurricane isn't a jet (unless there's a more modern one I'm not aware of). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64263: Too many loose fits, at lease one in each group that you really need to stretch to make it work. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64265: Your grids would probably be graded higher if you could improve your answers, for example to allow singular as well as plural. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Blondie @ #64277: They are. I will add that too, thanks. (2 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64277: Thanks for a challenge - but aren't Riga, Lima etc also capitals or I am being dense on a Friday morning?! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64269: Please use the language option when setting your grids, which are appearing as English. (2 years, 3 months ago)

hmm @ #64260: Picky crowd... (2 years, 3 months ago)

Trixie @ #64268: Would have liked it to accept indulgent but I enjoyed it TY (2 years, 3 months ago)

Arnold S. @ #50900: excellent puzzle my g. (2 years, 3 months ago)

DH @ #64267: Nice one (2 years, 3 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #64260: Please include imperial as an accepted answer for the measurements category. Teaspoon is not only a measurement of liquid, recipies can call for a teaspoon of salt. Imperial is a word that relates to all 4. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64268: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #63396: Thanks both. :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #64267: I love the wordy grids (as may be obvious) and this was a particularly fun wordy grid. Thank you! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64256: Very good. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64171: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Yorkies! @ #64260: Thanks for your comments @Ace and @RMP - I amended the accepted answers. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tim D @ #64232: Well, I liked it. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64260: @RMP I didn't know that a US (liquid) ounce was not exactly the same as a UK Fl.Oz, so arguably the grid is actually consistent in US terms. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64236: I thought it was quite a decent grid and got my 10/10 confetti, having wondered about comic strip and then realised Stephen Fry wsn't in it and plumped for Blackadder instead. @Mark Norman, I often feel the same when it;s just plurals, capitals and the like, but I think one needs to accept a certain level of specificity, and in this case the TV one in particular is actually more correct - not all medical dramas are set in hospitals, but all of these ones are. (2 years, 3 months ago)

RMP @ #64260: I agree with Ace, but having lived in USA I learned that the word ounce is widely used in recipes etc. as a measurement of volume. Given that US and UK fluid ounces are different this is even more maddening. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64260: Ounce is not a volume/liquid measure, but a weight. One ounce (weight) of water gives one 'fluid ounce' volume, but other liquids will vary, so a fluid ounce (volume measure) of alcohol, for example, will actually weigh only about 8/10 of an ounce. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #64236: Hi there. I really enjoy your grids but I think you need to widen the terms that are accepted for correct answers. For example, I gave 'tv medical dramas' as my answer for one set - but it was marked incorrect because the system would only accept 'hospital'. Whilst I admit that 'rivers' was the most obvious answer for the river set, I gave the answer 'Valleys' - which is also correct, as each are formally recognised as valley areas. Just a thought :) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Rhori @ #64236: Ian - they weren't all in the Comic Strip I'm afraid and Havon is mispelt, giving a small clue (although it is also a charity). (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #64236: Is havon a word? And before Blackadder those guys were in the Comic Strip. Enjoyed failing this grid. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Pallas @ #64236: i liked this one a lot. Thanks for posting (2 years, 3 months ago)

Ace @ #64232: Seems to be an error - Ra doesn't make sense in that group, from your answer it should be 'out'. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Bearcules @ #64215: I had the two wests (Rose and Dominic) as well as George North (rugby player) and Peter North ("actor")! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #64217: Had fun doing this one! (2 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #64236: Enjoyed the grid but the answers a quite picky (2 years, 3 months ago)

bert @ #30762: well thought out (2 years, 3 months ago)

walsh06 @ #46791: Just FYI a lion is not by default a british rugby player. They are called the British and Irish lions for a reason. (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #11619: Excellent grid. Applause :-) (2 years, 3 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64232: Way too obscure to be any fun. And I am a Disney Pixar fan. Check the "Best grids" for some ideas for it to be fun and solvable. Thanks for posting anyway. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64171: FYI, for the critics out there... A right triangle (American English) or right-angled triangle (British), or more formally an orthogonal triangle , formerly called a rectangled triangle (from Wikipedia) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64227: Excellent grid. Some of my favourite movies in there. Loved the "Luke" line especially. Thanks (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #39584: Great grid. Thanks (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #25921: Excellent grid. Loved it - so many NATO alphabets to choose from! Thanks :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #64232: Ra? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jay @ #64233: I think the wordplay categories were too obscure/difficult (2 years, 4 months ago)

Wally Winka @ #64225: IH8GrumpyOldMen - really fair point and have edited it to what you said. Thanks! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Shane @ #64199: I loved this grid!! thank you so much ! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60414: Excellent grid, nearly fell for it. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 4 months ago)

IH8GrumpyOldMen @ #64225: Pedi sounds reminiscent of feet. ‘Paedi’ might be more appropriate (BRITISH English). Otherwise decent, thanks. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #64225: Top-drawer. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #64219: Great grid, was convinced there were Expresses in there (2 years, 4 months ago)

datroof @ #64171: Very good! And the number of pedantic jackasses who assume that their limited experience of the world gives them the only possible perspective on knowledge is becoming less and less amusing to me. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Anvil @ #60414: I saw what you did there. My heart sank when I saw Kayak and Racecar - but it was a trick!! 😄 (2 years, 4 months ago)

Anvil @ #64217: "a bit of a push" is fine! 😄 (2 years, 4 months ago)

Botkin Hospital @ #56053: Should check your spelling before making grids, and improve your keywords cause "bicycle" didn't work for the first and it really should. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #64226: Great grid (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63883: Pretty straightforward (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64170: It's "Quantum". And the rhyming group was indeed lazy. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64191: Enjoyed that. If anything I would criticise the common theme of the endings, because clock one and you soon clock the lot, but I reckon you'll get decent marks from many. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #64226: Ditto! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #64225: Thought that the Pedi and The category was 'Cure' (2 years, 4 months ago)

GG @ #64206: @ Will - that's what I was thinking (2 years, 4 months ago)

Will @ #64206: Happy Valley is also a racecourse in Hong Kong (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ant @ #64195: The trouble with themed grids like this is there is so much overlap it’s hard to nail propecisely how you’re grouping (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jaded Mineral @ #64227: Really enjoyed the theme and challenge. As a nerd though I have to say that replicants aren't robots :) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Sredni @ #64226: Should have got it. Didn’t. Excellent grid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64145: Nice with a lot of possible crossovers, but Majors are just capital cities as well, Berlin and Boston could swap and would make the connections more correct. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64146: Nice one. You could work a bit on your answer grids though. Make sure that singular and plural are both allowed, capitalised or lower case, separate or compound words (e.g. game show) etc. etc. (2 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64219: Could the sour etc also be sauce? Thank you for a good grid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Wye Knot @ #64227: excellent (2 years, 4 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64227: Really enjoyed that, though I didn't quite get there! Brilliant selection and crossovers. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #64188: Fashion designers is a valid answer to the Dior row! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #22185: One of my favourites. Thank you. Makes you think, good crossovers, high quality answer bank and fun. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64190: Great grid. I worked it out although it was tough. Thanks :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64206: Thumbs up :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64214: liked it and got the connections. thanks :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64217: Loved this fun and fresh grid. Thanks for being creative and sharing with us :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Tilly @ #64217: Good giggle ty (2 years, 4 months ago)

Supertailz @ #62869: I put in just the word cone and it didn’t accept it (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64220: Nice one. Being pedantic, algae is not a plant, but given that water was OK it's not a problem. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64219: Fooled me with sour, not quite a good fit without the dough. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Rhori @ #64217: Excellent - funny as well 👏 (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #64217: Excellent fun (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64217: I quite liked it, 10/10, although I agree with the author that a couple of them were "a bit of a push". (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #64214: Liked this, some original categories (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #64215: I also searched for other Wests! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64109: The curse group doesn't make sense - one of them with an extra letter, maybe, and a couple of the others slightly related, with or without extra letter, but as it is it's not correct. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Rhori @ #64215: I typed saints and it didn't allow it? (2 years, 4 months ago)

doc filth @ #64215: I was trying really hard to find two other "West"s as well as Dominic and Rose... (2 years, 4 months ago)

Anvil @ #64215: Saints? They are also just boys' names! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #64203: Thanks Mauress! Corrected now. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #64206: Loved this - thank you! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64214: Nice, but TBH I don't think I deserve 10/10 by simply answering 'film' and 'game' for two groups where I didn't really know the connection. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64167: OK, thank you. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Andy Robinson @ #64190: I put Shakespeare characters for the third one, thought it was a little harsh to need the exact play. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64193: I put singers for the film group. which could also be a valid answer. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Lou @ #64188: The fragrance links should also accept fashion designers. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64197: Too complicated, lots of other possible relationships. The "heirs" group needs a firmer definition too, since many of the others are also in the line of succession. (2 years, 4 months ago)

fiona @ #64206: knew all the links but knocked the wrong key and didnt get the points.😢😢 (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #64206: Sugar sugar was a famous song from the sixties by a cartoon group called The Archie's! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Maureess @ #64203: Nice, but tendEncy (not tendAncy) (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #64206: Never heard of a sugar dummy or sugar sugar so that one stumped me so 7/10, but otherwise a good fun grid! (2 years, 4 months ago)

mal @ #64171: Pretty good but let down by 'right' in the triangle group ( it's a right-angled not a right-triangle). Swap that out and it would be a very good gtid (2 years, 4 months ago)

J @ #64171: Good grid. Right triangle is fine - American version of right angled triangle. (2 years, 4 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64189: Didn't accept Cooper for the relevant group, please add this. Great grid overall, finished it last second! Good work. (2 years, 4 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #64190: Very good, very tough, didn't get it all! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64167: Good grid. I enjoyed it. Thanks. Improvements - do check all your allowable answers as I solved it but you didn't accept things like "cold weather" or "synonyms". It does detract from the fun of the game when you don't get points. Thanks for posting, regardless. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64143: Lennon Wall? And abbreviations of months - not a great idea. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Patrick Noone @ #64150: This was perhaps the greatest puzz grid every conceived. Thank you brother. (2 years, 4 months ago)

P Buckingham @ #64137: New York is not a capital city. Snails and slugs are not insects. You might want to verify your answers next time. (2 years, 4 months ago)

RMP @ #64139: That's not how you spell Definitely. I spent ages looking for other misspellings or wondering what "Definetely" might mean. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #64129: Excellent. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Nick Papadopolis @ #64099: Hey are you british??? By the way, loved it except for the parts that I didn't like. Happy Jubilee if you are british and happy pride month. 7/10 was my score and it is my rating for you. (2 years, 4 months ago)

LEANLEAN @ #63819: loved this one (2 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #64114: I got everything except the film group, despite having seen two of them. That was a bit too obscure. Most people just don't care. (2 years, 4 months ago)

sobers @ #64114: or....you could just re-write and resubmit it! (2 years, 4 months ago)

sobers @ #64110: check your email, there should be a link to edit. ps I thought it was horse not house. :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64110: This is embarrassing - I made a typo in one of the groups. Is there any way i can edit it, or delete it and redo? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #64044: The food thing is a little bit specialist, but it gets marked up just for referencing Camberwick Green. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ned Lalky @ #64076: Great grid! Plenty of red herrings. Only managed to solve it with 13 seconds left (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #64087: @b 22 yards, it's the distance between the two wickets in cricket. (2 years, 4 months ago)

sobers @ #64087: @b - and sorry for spoiler but "china" is an anagram of "chain" = 22yds (2 years, 4 months ago)

Arthur Tuppeny @ #64089: Harris COUNTY (not countrRy) (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64087: Of what unit of length is china an anagram? I saw inch, yard and mile, but what's the fourth? (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64085: A very easy grid, but thanks all the same (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64034: OK, though why anybody might know the expression Wet Hot American summer is beyond me. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64099: Nice one. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64096: Not even close to a unique solution. Lilac, lavender, rose and even orange are interchangeable, Yellow could replace dandelion or sunflower, they could move to flowers, etc. etc. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64077: @Ian, Yes, I enjoyed it too, but both the French group and the Disney group jumped straight out at me, so yes, the french book crossover and the disney movie crossover (both the same item) went unnoticed. And I had to guess at which biblical figure was also a movie, so yeah, my earlier comment was not justified. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #64077: Enjoyed this grid. There were crossovers. Chill out, Jesus. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64077: I got the grid, but I didn't know Emma Watson films. Bit niche, that. Unfair for someone to say there was a lack of red herrings - maybe he just didn't understand Noah's in the bible (2 years, 4 months ago)

LEANLEAN @ #63942: NOT PRESIDENT >:(((((((((((((((( (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #64085: Thanka for sharing (2 years, 4 months ago)

Timtam @ #50900: I love it, very clever and good red herrings (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #64077: This grid wasn't drowning in red herrings, like the garbage puzzles that are enjoyed by garbage people (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #61481: Just as fun the second time around! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #27894: Did you pull a muscle reaching for this garbage? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Rhori @ #64069: Good one (2 years, 4 months ago)

Rhori @ #64078: Very good. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #63741: Good stuff (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64077: Not bad, but lack of red herringss or crossovers made it a little too easy. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #56311: @Gorgon Matchbox toys, used to make small die-cast model cars. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63960: Actually I is the first word and only word of that newspaper. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #51121: @sax never heard of "try over" (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64030: I don't know Jojo Rabbit - where's that from? But 10/10 nevertheless. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #54763: Great puzzle, but leave off putting the "theme" in the answers if people get it they get it or they will see it in the comments, otherwise it basically gives away the 2nd part where you have to name the groups if the person lucked into a group or just ran out of time. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #64069: Gosh, that was tough. So well done with the red herrings! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gorgon @ #56311: you give kids matchboxes to play with? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Michael Hutchinson @ #63998: nice - I missed the ford mill connection (2 years, 4 months ago)

Michael Hutchinson @ #64027: tough but good (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64060: Greek group was impossibly fiendish. Give us a chance. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Michael Hutchinson @ #64031: great stuff (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #64064: Sandstone and slate are not mined, they're quarried, plus iron ore is what comes out of a mine, not iron itself. Got the group OK, but your connection is not accurate. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Michael Hutchinson @ #64043: @Mister Tom - the whole point of a good wall is to have multiple solutions/red herrings/cross overs. It will only fit properly in the specific groups of four given in the grid solutions. Macbeth doesn't fit in any other group for example. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64057: Fairly straightforward. 10/10, so I like it. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64064: Nice and easy, probably easier than it first looked. Thanks (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #8355: Very clever. Loved this :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #25555: Paper works for the category containing crepe. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #64064: The category with 'iron' in it was not satisfying. The words 'ore' and 'quarry' are problems. (2 years, 4 months ago)

John @ #64064: Loved this one - didn't do too well though (2 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #64043: @Mal Too many crossovers? Seriously? There are literally only 2 red herrings - Gaga for the Lady group and Champions for the Queen group... (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #64021: Aaron Brown or Aaron Gordon, I've never heard of either of them, so that's a tough and duff group. I've marked you down. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54760: Thanks so much for all the support. This was my first puzzle and while it's a bit clunky in the diversity of knowledge it requires, I'm glad folks liked the theme! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Helga @ #29852: Loved the Wales theme. Love Wales! (2 years, 4 months ago)

JF @ #64050: Nice grid. Good selection of answers (they weren't all "add a word to the end" type) and plenty of red herrings. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #47925: Elegant. Nicely constructed. Thank you. (2 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64055: Not sure about two ways of pronouncing Lima? (2 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #64058: Good grid thank you but couldn't the roll connection also be 'rock'? Maybe not as good as yours but I think it works. (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #64026: Nice grid, i was stumped by the drift connection (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #64054: 0/10, a bit too niche for me! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #64048: Broom/Hoover interchangable (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64037: Please fact check your "English Towns". Suffolk is a county, Liverpool is a city, Punchbowl does not exist. Also "Ballroom" is not a dress - it's a ballgown. Otherwise, a good grid. Thanks. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #64035: Good crossovers. Fun grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Author @ #63837: Green Bay Packers (2 years, 4 months ago)

mal @ #64043: There were TOO many cross overs, which made it more luck than judgment as to whether you got it or not. Take a couple out, it will still be hard but be much better/more skilful. Good otherwise (2 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #64012: Oooo, I spent ages working out that last combination of clues. This was a great wall! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #64043: It's lovely but I must give it 1* because there are multiple possible solutions, therefore it is not a grid. From the given solution as it is now, you could put Gaga in the Macbeth Group, Justice in the Rocket group and Champions in the Love Group, giving the same 4 groups but with a different filling. I suggest you circumvent this by removing Macbeth and adding, for example, Dust. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #64049: Well sus (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #37456: Really good gridding. Groups were kind of obvious, but then I really had to logicise (?) the hell out of it. (2 years, 4 months ago)

bert @ #26502: certainly not "all white" massively ambiguous (2 years, 4 months ago)

Captain Ben @ #63903: Good work, especially with the dummy group. (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63916: Fun grid (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63892: I'm not up on the capital cities of Canadian provinces and I've never answered anything by saying it's a biome, but don't let my weaknesses detract from a good grid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63878: A Pill is not Apple. All in all, a bit silly really (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63903: Pretty good, thanks for sharing. I guessed box for the light category - oops! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #63884: I think —— Out —— also works with one group but enjoyable anyway (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #63741: Every day's a school day it seems. (2 years, 4 months ago)

bigz @ #63554: Mixing up Spanish with French. SEIZE is a French number. SeiZure is English. SeiSure does not exist in this uninverse. (2 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #186: Good one. Some were easy but the fly one took a while... (2 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #24111: Well constructed, but a bit nerdy and some clues were guesswork due to obscurity. (2 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #46544: OK but never heard of a bat ray (2 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #50900: Very poor - way too obscure (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63883: Nice and easy grid, good theme. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

Kitty @ #63891: Nice one, enjoyed it - couldn't get the connection for the Walking group but otherwise much fun! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #63887: Final group also works by changing first letter to a P. Great grid, though. More please! (2 years, 4 months ago)

EmmyDeter @ #51919: Bon mur. Très dur mais très sympa. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #63887: Third group also works for letter A (2 years, 4 months ago)

EmmyDeter @ #51921: Pas mal du tout. Attention à ne pas oublier d'indiquer le thème des connections, et pas seulement les détails. (2 years, 4 months ago)

EmmyDeter @ #63890: Sorry guys I accidently put a French grid in the English category, and it looks like there's no way to edit that. (2 years, 4 months ago)

EmmyDeter @ #57191: Waw c'est vraiment un excellent mur, bravo ! (2 years, 4 months ago)

EmmyDeter @ #57206: Ton mur est vraiment chouette, mais si je puis me permettre trois catégories sur quatre reposent sur des mots/expressions. C'est bien de varier. (2 years, 4 months ago)

EmmyDeter @ #61568: Un très chouette mur, intelligent et trouvable sans être trop facile. (2 years, 4 months ago)

just @ #63878: That's annoying PeteC85, shouldn't happen. Take the point! (2 years, 4 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #63878: I put authoritarian leaders for the relevant group and it rejected it, despite authoritarian being in the explanation, worth adding this. Otherwise, enjoyed this, bit different. (2 years, 4 months ago)

RMP @ #63864: Literally made me smile! Did it with 1 second to spare. Very neat. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Tilly @ #63878: fun (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #63864: Enjoyed this grid. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63841: Hard-boiled fiction. Never heard of it. Noir fiction : that too. Spoilt an otherwise good grid (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63845: Tortuous is not a synonym for curved, nor is twisted. I grouped them OK, but your group answer is inaccurate. A walking stick does not have a curve in it; it has a full bend, so that is a silly group. I've marked you down on quality (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63863: Good! Nice mix. (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63876: A bit too tricky for me (2 years, 4 months ago)

Tyler @ #38844: I typed in Draw and was told it was incorrect, would help to know how much needs to be typed, normally a single word is acceptable! Otherwise a good puzzle! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Dave @ #63844: Bit miffed I wasn't allowed "making flour" for the wheat one! (2 years, 4 months ago)

psnchito @ #63462: me csgo en sus muertos (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #63836: Extremely poor (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #63826: Extremely enjoyable! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jack Stotler @ #51429: The saxaphone is actually a woodwind instrument and is not a part of the brass family. If you wouldn't mind changing that one to a Trombone or an instrument that is actually in the Brass family, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :D (2 years, 4 months ago)

hmucha @ #25921: For red, I wish "award" was good enough (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ghost Poo @ #63837: Should've been a cowboy (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ant @ #63799: Very nice, thank you (2 years, 4 months ago)

Wordy @ #63831: RMP, these are symbols seen publicly, anyone can google it. (2 years, 4 months ago)

RMP @ #63831: I think it is slightly cheating to include information from a literal secret society which non-members cannot know. (2 years, 4 months ago)

mal @ #63799: The ''jumping'' category is poor and lets down a decent grid (2 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #63826: Clever, but easy once you work out what's going on. (2 years, 4 months ago)

nighttime @ #5600: @Keith: Those are not misspellings - Baysun is a city in Uzbekistan; Tems is a singer-songwriter. (2 years, 4 months ago)

dollymix @ #63823: It's a little misleading to put Chevy Chase's first name alongside three surnames. Also, "Guinness" is spelled wrong. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Nivag @ #63815: I really messed this up. I must have been too tired. Nesh should also have been mesh. (2 years, 4 months ago)

anvil @ #63805: Please, no more palindromes! As soon as I see racecar or kayak, I know the palindromes are back!! (2 years, 4 months ago)

anvil @ #63820: Good grid, though the frost line aren't really all synonyms of each other. Frost is a noun (unless you're icing a cake in the US). The rest are verbs meaning to cool. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #63808: Thought there were words ending with men's names there, wasted to much time trying to find the fourth name XD (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fish @ #63812: Les Dennis (uncertain) made me laugh (2 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #34186: Tom, there was an accidental g added to "son" on the answer panel, but that should have been obvious as the answers were all explained in longhand. A clothespin is the American version of what the English call a clothes peg. (2 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #63824: Very good - some nice red herrings in there too! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #63802: Suffering through this grid is worse than being crucified (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #63806: A bit too obscure in general (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #63792: You've done it again, SugarPi (2 years, 4 months ago)

John @ #30573: A lot of these are technically not "points," but other units of scorekeeping. Golf, for example, tracks strokes, not points. Baseball tracks runs, not points. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #63812: (2 years, 4 months ago)

dollymix @ #63793: "Green lentils" are a common variety of lentil so it seems like that and bean are interchangeable. You might want to swap "lentil" for "peanut" or something. (2 years, 4 months ago)

dangalf @ #63756: Fun!! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mark Norman @ #63791: Great grid! More please! (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #58197: I don't know the shop All Saints, and identical clues doesn't work terribly well. Only OK. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63068: Very easy (2 years, 4 months ago)

RMP @ #63815: I think Pool is a typo or a mistake. There is no town of that name. (2 years, 4 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #63738: That was difficult! Thanks, managed 7/10. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Wordy @ #63808: I will add it, when you know you are right, just add he point. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jane @ #63808: Nice grid, but I lost out on 10 points because I put “angry” instead of “cross”! Any chance you could allow a bit more flexibility there? (2 years, 4 months ago)

RMP @ #63811: You need to expand acceptable answers for the Penthouse row to include the root of the words (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63784: Just to leave the final letter off four colours is a bit tame really, isn't it. Then the crimson group : they are not synonyms for red, they are different shades of red. Sorry, but I've marked you down. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63765: Quite good, but I think you spoilt it by allowing "beet or beat". Would be better with four beats. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63763: I've heard of the man in the moon but the rest of that group are complete nonsense in my book. (2 years, 4 months ago)

murphykrama @ #63765: great. love it (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63788: Fun grid! Got lucky with a few guesses, typically knew 3/4 (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63792: Very fun, nice! (2 years, 4 months ago)

GP @ #63806: A bit too obscure for me (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63749: BTW, your sheep group are also all ruminants/ cud chewers. Not sure that too many people drink camel's milk. Otherwise a good grid. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63799: Good crossovers. Thanks for sharing :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63784: Good grid missed out on the Blood line. You win 10-7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #63744: good one. Though I'm not great on poxy NFL teams (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #63758: Good one. But to be constructive sports should have been allowed as should hidden metals. (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #63765: Nice one (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #63783: Good one though John Thaw TV shows is a bit obscure (2 years, 4 months ago)

PeteC85 @ #63773: Thanks Ian, he's not one we necessarily think of straight away. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #63741: The Gore line was interesting. Every day's a school day it seems. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Helga @ #63734: Good crossovers (2 years, 4 months ago)

luz.shoe @ #63757: Thanks for the feedback - I found that category a bit tricky in the acceptable answers field but I have now updated it! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Yorkies! @ #63763: not bad (2 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #63741: 'coins' (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #63753: Two groups with no literal connection is a bit underwhelming. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ryoso @ #63746: Ugh . . . You need advanced mathematics to have a chance at this, and while I'm sure hardcore math nerds will like it, I'm also sure that 90% of folks that try this puzzle will be utterly stumped or bored. This puzzle's a good argument for letting puzz writers categorize their work by subject if applicable and not just nationality, language, audio, visual. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Botkin hospital @ #32865: We need you in our hospital - it's so stupid (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #63741: I would have preferred it if you'd allowed 'dressmaking terms' as this is entirely accurate! (2 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #63743: Very difficult but well-made (2 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #63748: I was able to get all the groups just by their appearance, but I wasn't able to identify any of them. It's a nice grid but really shouldn't be public since it's all to do with mathematics instead of general knowledge. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #14334: Not unique. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #63725: Bit samey. But enjoyed. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Avenger @ #10854: Bands one not great - especially cos they are just 3/4 letters in random words. Did not enjoy. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Avenger @ #10841: Tripe (2 years, 4 months ago)

Tilly @ #63702: boom (2 years, 4 months ago)

F @ #63699: 'duty' really threw me, guess i've been to too many airports (2 years, 4 months ago)

Jesus @ #63148: Congrats on living up to your username (2 years, 4 months ago)

mal @ #63676: 'relatives' should be an option. I like the ''James'' category (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #63681: Ditto. (2 years, 4 months ago)

BinDipper @ #63645: I think it's a bit more than Hamburger said. It's not only that this doesn't work; it's that no matter what your categories it will probably never work. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63672: Leif is not a homophone for Leith unless you've got a speech defect. I marked you down for that. (2 years, 4 months ago)

John @ #63680: Appropriate - never heard any of them used in that manner. Then realised what it meant. Doh. Loved the other groups (2 years, 4 months ago)

Tilly @ #63518: Nice (2 years, 4 months ago)

Helga @ #24263: Nice grid. Enjoyed learning new words for cattle ! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #63688: Croatia appears twice, hence not a unique solution. (2 years, 4 months ago)

bert @ #39526: a midge is not a termite, its a flying biting insect like a gnat / mosquito (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #63681: they are certainly not known as musicians (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #63681: Not a bad grid, but allowable answers are a little poor. One group is not really musicians but composers. in all of them you should allow singular forms - just miss off the 's' and both will be accepted. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #63655: Very nice. Didn't see the vowel thing! Doh! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Hamburger @ #63645: Yeah nah, this doesn't work. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63672: Homophones???? (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #63668: When one group is made up of the only four options that are real people, you don't need any more specific connection. (2 years, 4 months ago)

jenn @ #63587: it might be helpful for the the "connection" answers to be multiple choice to allow for correct points gathering enjoyable game : ) (2 years, 4 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #63645: As Paul mentioned, V could swap with C and M leaving valid groups; U (and potentially Y) could swap with at least O and I directly; and O could also do a chain swap replacing J/R/C, which replace U, which replaces O. It's a cool idea for a grid, but since it leaves the clues all so open-ended, I think it's especially important that the solution be pristine/unique. (Also the C category is accurate, but without something to signal it, definitely harder than the others to come up with, as it's less about the letters themselves.) (2 years, 4 months ago)

mal @ #63649: The religious concepts are DEFINITELY Buddhist as well as Hindu (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #63624: Nice. always happy for BD to get a mention. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #63645: a few of these could be swapped, so not a unique solution (2 years, 4 months ago)

George @ #63640: well I managed to solve the grid without knowing why apart from the numbers! Didn't get all the connections. (2 years, 4 months ago)

RMP @ #63646: A bit too dependent on knowing the works of one performer. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Dev @ #63649: Great grid, fell for the Cameron trap! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #57806: Excellent! Great crossovers too. Well done and thanks for posting :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63342: Loved this! Especially the relationship to London tube lines. I do think London centric knowledge is the key to solving this, so might be trickier for some. Thanks for posting 10/10 :-) (2 years, 4 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63626: Clever! Thanks :-) Esp liked the "tact" row. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #61813: Nice idea, but a trifle off the beat : these are just strings of words, not connections (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #61458: Just too easy, and just to jumble up the letters of a word four different ways is a bit tame really, isn't it. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63289: OK, just made me think enough. (2 years, 4 months ago)

b @ #63415: Really rather too easy (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ragdoll @ #63638: Great grid, but 'home' wasn't accepted for the 'house' group (2 years, 4 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #1183: Forsyth NOT Forsythe (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ryan @ #63637: Yeah, I dunno about that "bold" category. They are not all synonyms for bold, in fact I wouldn't even consider two of them adjectives. Someone can be cheeky or "have the nerve" to do something, but you wouldn't describe someone as "cheek" or "nerve." Also, fresh is a bit of a stretch (2 years, 4 months ago)

anvil @ #63638: The hidden numbers one is getting a tad over-used. Like the anagrams one. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Helga @ #39988: Nice grid.Good mix. (2 years, 4 months ago)

bob @ #63582: could do with some work on the accepted answers - the repeat category should accept "synonyms" as they are all synonyms. Also didn't fully understand your actual answer for it. The rest was fine - keep it up! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Helga @ #63580: Great grid, nicely balanced (2 years, 4 months ago)

dangalf @ #63440: This was really fun. Thanks! (2 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #63304: I think it's unfair to say there are no red herrings - I was thinking yellow card from football/rugby, and even tried blackhouse before I found the more obvious black set. Not difficult, but hardly bad! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mike @ #63482: Answer inputs are too restrictive, in person Victoria could ask you to elaborate, it's not really your fault (PuzzGrid really should let you get a "be more specific prompt" if you get in the right ballpark) but it's frustrating to be on the right lines but not get the answer just because the game wanted something specific, (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63448: The orthodox church one is just "countries" really, as they are the only 4 countries listed. Needs a red herring or two to differentiate. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63444: @fi The Blue Meanies are a fictional army of fierce though buffoonish music-hating beings and the main antagonists in the surreal 1968 Beatles animated film Yellow Submarine. They allegorically represent all the bad people in the world. Ain't Wiki wonderful 😁 (2 years, 4 months ago)

ghj @ #63463: freed should allowed as definition not just they're all synonyms of each other. (2 years, 4 months ago)

sam @ #63463: other fruits can have pulp, pith, seed and peel, not just orange. "fruit" should have been a correct answer. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Ace @ #63460: Ridiculous. Yes, lots of potential switches, e.g. credit card. debit card, phone (and not all phones are rectangular) and then just randomly picking some 'words ending in r'. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Kitty @ #63460: Rather broad and random groupings... Lots of possible swaps betw categories. (2 years, 4 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63434: That group should be "things Americans think about St Patrick's Day". We don't say "ah yes, let me get out my clover for this magical day full of leprechauns". -an Irish person (2 years, 4 months ago)

Arthana @ #11728: rabbit (2 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63453: Good grid, but a doe is a female deer (as in the song!) not a baby deer. A baby deer is a fawn (or occasionally calf or kid). I'm not sure what "taking a L" when you lose is... (2 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #63453: Nice one, fairly easy. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 4 months ago)

JR @ #63306: Maybe US presidents could also count as an answer for Carter, Madison, Monroe, and Garfield? (2 years, 4 months ago)

victor @ #62878: Its very exiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (2 years, 4 months ago)

Mike @ #63449: I know "words that can add X to the end" is a staple of these grids but so many words end in "ing" that it doesn't seem like a real category to me, especially since all the words in the category also end in "ect", which is more distinctive. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #55769: That capon line is unnecessarily obscure, which was lovely. Exactly what we come here for. Thanks for the lesson. (2 years, 4 months ago)

Bathfood @ #56: I love to learn new things, but 3 obscurities in one grid (shawm, copita, and chimney) is pushing it, even for me. Thanks for the lesson, Miss. 🤗 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #63297: Very satisfying! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trixie @ #63268: omg, Tilly, I just clicked in to do this and realised - It was mine! So sorry, somehow I started typing T and ended up with Tilly not Trixie. I didn't even realise till now. You must have been on my mind!! : ) sorry (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63212: Nice grid. The game of "Rock Paper Scissors Spock Lizard" was invented by a software engineer named Sam Kass, who outlined the rules and hand gestures on his website in 1998. It is used in "The Big Bang Theory" but it isn't 'their version'. I would be nice to have the full titles of the books in the More Info, Thanks - :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63213: Nice Grid - some really good red herrings. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63217: Nice grid. I liked the links and the overlaps. Sit and Down are interchangeable though, so there is more than one possible resolution. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63217: Nice grid. I liked the links and the overlaps. Sit and Down are interchangeable though, so there is more than one possible resolution. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63246: Super grid - many thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63247: Some good overlaps. Agree with the other comments about Graeme and Lore. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63250: Nice grid - some good overlaps. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63256: Good grid. I liked the links. Didn't get the picture link - it was a little broad. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63259: I liked this grid. I didn't get one of the links. I don't see distance as a derivative of displacement in anything I've looked up online. Please could you cite a source? Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #63266: stjohn, yes I meant Robinson but wrong description, meant the boxer. Doh! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63261: Really hard - a lot of overlapping answers. I liked the links. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63268: Loved this grid. I didn't know the terms, skinny dog or skinny love. But the connection came to me from jeans and latte. Every day is a school day. Thanks :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63281: Great grid - many thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tilly @ #33876: Wonder why, twice you used my name (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dominykas Cibulskis @ #40302: Hello madam, yes I left a comment because I realized that you are, indeed, a female AND a gamer (which is extremely rare in today's society). I would like to make a proposal - I am a single, yet highly intelligent gamer (I play games like Europa Universalis IV and puzzgrid). Feel free to respond when you have plenty of time, which I'm sure you don't because you're obviously a very attractive and intelligent female (which I say POggers to) so we can meet up for chips and fish. If we ever do meet up in real life (which I'm hoping for :D) I'll be the one in the kitchen! P.S. I am into furries ;) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63257: Couldn't sort the monkeys and airlines. Not your fault! Good grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63258: The Arabic script group did not accept "language" as an answer, just FYI :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #63266: c's were tough, did you mean Robertson instead of Robinson? not that it really matters. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62441: Didn't like your niche PC-centric market-place. Just too obscure, so I've marked you down. The rest was OK, even if there were similarities between 2 groups. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tilly @ #63268: I appreciate the compliment using my "handle" - oh, that's right, I don't. Are you scared to use one of your own? (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62413: That's an OK grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #27283: I lost my kids to this stupid quiz. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trillium @ #63257: 👍 (2 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #63268: Heard of big pharma. Never heard of skinny dog. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trixie @ #63268: skinny dog is term for greyhound, big harma is what drug/medicine industry is commonly called. (2 years, 5 months ago)

mattymungbean @ #63268: Skinny Dog ?????? Big Pharma ?????? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #63260: great one! (2 years, 5 months ago)

bert @ #33608: maybe change the "died this year" to the actual year, now its not "this year" any longer !! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #54235: The bowel group was killer! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63260: Nice grid. You misspelled Thief. (2 years, 5 months ago)

George @ #63260: The spelling of thief (theif) through me out a little (2 years, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #63247: The Law/Lore thing is entirely down to accent, in standard British English, and most regional accents in England, the r isn't sounded - it just modifies the o, as the w modifies the a in law. In American, Irish and Scottish accents the r is sounded. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #27169: Camper group was brilliant. But... What's India Green? Google only shows things that are both green and India. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63262: Even with the rather dubious connections it's not a unique solution. Not good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daz @ #63261: if the run one wasnt there this would be a good wall.....bu it was and it was just stoopid (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #55697: Nice concept. Well executed. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

IH8GrumpyOldMen @ #63250: Yes, it’s in Istanbul… (2 years, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #10502: I agree with Chris. Not the best. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jane @ #63247: Nice grid, but it took me a while to get the garden one because Graeme was spelt incorrectly! (2 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #63247: Agree with nighteyes. Intrusive r should not be allowed for homophones. Law and lore not pronounced the same unless intrusive r is used. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63246: Excellent grid, Fun. A couple of good crossovers. Thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #63240: Now I know what a pipkin is. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #63247: Law and lore are no more homophones than paw and pore. Look it up. (2 years, 5 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63150: I would hardly call Valorant an obscure video game at the moment. (2 years, 5 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63174: I loved the consecutive consonant group! (2 years, 5 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63220: Most chess sets are made of plastic, and paper/tables are only sometimes made of wood. (2 years, 5 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63245: Ace Attorney characters might be a little too niche for a general grid, otherwise great job! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63132: Nice and easy. Welll organised. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63235: Loads of red herrings. Took me four tries. Thank you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63247: Graham Garden is spelt "Graeme" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #63215: Found this very straightforward. Needs red herrings- clues that look like they appear in another group- to be interesting. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #63088: Good, but I've not seen lammergeier spelled that way. Perhaps lammergeyer.. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #63235: Good one (2 years, 5 months ago)

eBarnz @ #63235: Really good grid! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #54471: Nice. The Wright group had me puzzling the longest, as I was thinking physical things Wheelwright, Shipwright, etc. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

jim @ #63215: Just fine (2 years, 5 months ago)

jim @ #62692: I like a nice easy one from time to time. Looks to me like some folk have been picky with their comments, and that's not justified. (2 years, 5 months ago)

jim @ #62822: I'll assume the farm animal is goose, not moose (2 years, 5 months ago)

jim @ #63096: An OK grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #54760: Good one but needed wide-range of knowledge. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #54952: Fun, thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #63235: Oh my. This is great. Those homophones are perfect. Well done, and ty. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #5795: It amuses me when people complain about the semantics of the answers. If you know you got it right, award yourself the marks and feel good. The website doesn't track our scores! Nice grid. Ty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #5344: Great fun. So many crossovers! It wasn't until I found my fourth connection (Keith etc), that I was able to work backwards, eliminate the herrings, and solve the groups. Well crafted. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 5 months ago)

James Finster @ #63235: Great job! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wade @ #8923: Nice grid. Should accept en for the latin terms. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #63070: I don't like characters with a letter changed. I think it's a bit of a cop-out because you can't find anything better to include in your grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #63202: Great grid! (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #63128: Linking Josephine Baker with Joe Biden is stretching things somewhat. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hey_Buddy @ #63217: Nice, although *Spoiler below* You could also hold the one group as well! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #10496: Sort this out - got the connections but all marked incorrect. Not good. They should let you see the reviews before doing these. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63215: I agree with bouldersaur - when I saw "level" I thought "oh please, not more palindromes". But I didn't spot the other ones! I was looking for racecar, rotor, kayak etc! Very good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #63229: Pretty good - you really have to know your music though. I got the "If I were a boy" group by assuming the link was "solo female artistes". I couldn't make the others work. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Craven @ #54971: Liked it (2 years, 5 months ago)

woolgathrer @ #63215: Thank you, mal. Corrections made! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #15124: kiss my piss (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63225: 'Alps' is not a place in France - the mountain range spans three more countries (arguably more) which all have more of the Alps within their borders than France. Alsace and Burgundy are huge regions, not places per se, whereas Rocamadour is a just a pretty little tourist village. (2 years, 5 months ago)

David Poupe @ #63221: You could also put an F before all of them: Flog, Flack, Feat, Farts (2 years, 5 months ago)

Rustic @ #63058: Great jorb! (2 years, 5 months ago)

7ovana @ #63206: Basic mathematical operations should be accepted. They aren't functions, they are operations. (2 years, 5 months ago)

bruh @ #63220: Chess made of wood is kind of a yucky clue. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54971: Thank you everyone for the support. I'm so happy you enjoyed the puzzle, I had so much fun making it! ♥ (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #63058: Wonderful job. I loved all the elements you used to make a successful puzzle. Always love puzzles with an overarching theme! You did a great job! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #63215: I really like how you took a common connection (the palindrome) and provided examples that are not often used. It's usually something I pick up on immediately, but you disguised them so well! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jim @ #63120: (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63113: All well-used connections, over-used even. Violet is only a cluedo character in the French version, BTW. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63086: This is not quite the worst puzzle I have ever played, but comes very close. What the hell is pro disc golf anyway? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #63088: I Think that an anagram should spell another word. This is just a jumble of letters. Good on you for trying. (2 years, 5 months ago)

daupo @ #63084: I solved it, and three of the categories were interesting. The group that contains the Zebra is far too general. (2 years, 5 months ago)

daupo @ #63095: It might be my age, but I thought it was a good puzzle, but not a hard one. But I remember the '70s. (2 years, 5 months ago)

daupo @ #63106: Pretty nice, fair red herrings, I solved it but it took time. I think the correct answer for the tundra, etc. group is too restrictive. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jar Freeman @ #63035: Great Square (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #63090: In addition to the problems mentioned by Robert Crawley, the Chow chow is a breed , whereas the others are species. Also I think you mean "can precede" not "can be preceded by" for the sloth / moon etc. row. I have never heard of a "bear sloth" but I have heard of a "sloth bear" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Swordfish7 @ #63075: Nice (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jar Freeman @ #63088: fadge! (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #63095: Nice grid, but that's not how you spell Foreigner (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #63096: Nice grid, but that's not how you spell Catullus (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jar Freeman @ #63090: FAKE! (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #63088: I usually try to avoid spoilers, but there seem to be plenty here already. I like the idea, but a "shield" is not a weapon - it is the opposite of a weapon. That row is armour, not weapons. There is no such bird as a Lammergia. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tilly @ #63096: What a wonderful........ (2 years, 5 months ago)

mal @ #63088: It's a ''lammergeier'' not a ''lammergia'' ( also your category wouldn't accept 'weapon' for 'weapons' and the breakfast foods didn't take either) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #63096: A nice grid with no need for niche knowledge. (2 years, 5 months ago)

BailOrgana @ #63085: I'm not sure I buy "Kentucky" as a method of cooking a chicken. Kentucky Fried, is of course, but that would give the grouping away. Maybe "Popcorn" might be a better choice? (2 years, 5 months ago)

JB @ #63090: Doesn't accept 'bear', 'planet', 'god' or 'china'. So no idea what you've put as the acceptable answers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Robert Crawley @ #63090: Good groups, but it suffers from two of the groups being almost completely interchangeable. Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn can all fit into two of the groups, and there's no way to tell which should be in which, so there's not a unique solution. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Rustic @ #63075: Well made. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #29884: Perfect challenge. Lots to think about, but can be worked through, without some obscure knowledge. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Cristobal @ #63029: Nobody mentioned Ridings, RMP! There is a South Yorkshire and a North Yorkshire. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #44630: Perfect fun. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

barry womble @ #63088: Fantastically enjoyable grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ey @ #63088: Sorry It was goldfinch and lammergia (2 years, 5 months ago)

Will Taylor @ #63088: Fantastic and very enjoyable. Would help if you gave the answers for the anagrams though - no idea what Mmarlegia could be and had to google Foglinchd (2 years, 5 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #63087: Great grid. Spoiler below: Could you allow either "ebook" or "electronic reader" for one of the lines? (2 years, 5 months ago)

ScaptainSky @ #63086: This is worst puzzle I have ever played. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Fly @ #63070: Some of the groups don't take correct answers, such as bring together for the merge group (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63070: Enjoyed this. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #17153: FUUUUUUUCK (2 years, 5 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63082: I love mewithoutYou, but that might be a bit too niche for a grid! All of these are a little too specific, actually. (2 years, 5 months ago)

SnCold710 @ #63076: I enjoyed this one. Andrew Bird is a well known musician. He has also acted, notably in the most recent season of the series Fargo! And true, there are many Jacks, but that's part of the puzzle! You have to realize what group you're looking for to think of Sparrow. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #63062: Damn you and damn your popes, too! :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #63058: A grid that is fun instead of arrogant Wikipedia trolling, bless you, my child (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63075: Composers worked for me! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63075: Spot on. Red herrings. Not stupidly obscure! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63064: Rated as poor with no comments - so removed. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63076: One group let's this down. How many Jacks are There? And wbo is Andrew Bird? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen Grant @ #63075: I typed in Composer for last group and it said I was incorrect. (2 years, 5 months ago)

SF7 @ #63070: Could maybe do with a little more crossover. Solved it all within 20 seconds as its a little obvious! Good grid for sure but maybe just needs a bit more challenge. (2 years, 5 months ago)

barry womble @ #63067: Great. (2 years, 5 months ago)

barry womble @ #63045: What a good grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #63058: Neat concept. 👍 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #63058: Elementary, my dear Hambone! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63065: berg is a term for a mountain, sometimes used in place names, but not stemming from the same root as burg, which is what I think you're thinking of. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63063: Nice grid. Some good overlaps. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62525: 7/10 Damn. I need to mug up on my Scissor Sisters. Thanks :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

nitpicker @ #63058: nice theme (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62604: Great grid. My lack of knowledge of Eastenders and Salinger stopped me separating out the names, but you can't know everything. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63050: Empty sea, > is commonly used to mean moving to the right. The rest of your comments, yeah, I agree. Tenuous links made worse by errors (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63062: Love this grid. All those papal names, so many red herrings. Please could you give the full names of the boxers in the More info? I didn't know all of them. `Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63052: Another hard one. I liked the metals group - but I think you mean Tina Fey. Hidden tools - Bowie is a type of knife, and there is no link between the others. I think if you're going to hide them, the relationship needs to be more obvious - all garden implements would work: fork, spade, hoe, rake? Hidden Avengers - Ant McPartlin just doesn't work. Finding 'Man' in that is way too hard. There is a film director Antony Mann, who might work better. I liked the 'Bob' group. I think this is a good grid - with a couple of tweaks. IMHO. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63050: A hard one. I am confused by a couple: "M T C" I'm not sure how that signifies the corresponding phrase; "X+X=>" to me reads "ex plus ex equals greater than" I get that 'x' can stand for wrong but I don't see how '>' signifies right. Would "W+W=R or x+x=[unicode character for the tick symbol - if PuzzGrid supports it?] be better? The date you have entered in Roman Numerals is 3888. I assume you meant MDCCCLXXXVIII, and I think you mean to define it as the longest date in the common era SO FAR expressed in Roman numerals? Your longest word doesn't word wrap when the puzzle is loaded so it gets truncated. I would suggest modifying it to include a couple of hyphens and manual returns. I liked the Grid. There were just those few things that made it harder to solve than I think you intended. Thanks :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #63054: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sean @ #50206: literally would have never gotten the sailboat, wonderful puzzle. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63040: The can was canny, the money was funny, but the saints? Pick a name, any name, and you'll find a saint among the 10000+ the RC church lists. Try making it just patron saints of countries or activities or something. (2 years, 5 months ago)

squareeyes @ #63042: This is so weird, I've just submitted a Rat Pack one too, completely different themes, same inspiration! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63039: Great grid. some nice red herrings. I love the links. Simple yet challenging. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63035: Nice Grid, Good overlapping answers. The music was just my era. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63038: 1/10 I found this very hard. Three groups that are "precedes / follows a word type", and one group where you have to change a letter in each word to make the link, made it too difficult for my brain to know where to start. Fiendish. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63029: Great Grid, some good overlapping answers. Missed one link. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63038: Not bad, but the country/person one was way over-complicated, I got it without the letter thing and thankfully 'person' was allowed. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63018: Lovely Grid. Some great overlapping answers. Really enjoyed it. Just to note, the Dickens' character is spelt Fezziwig. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63017: Nice Grid. I didn't know enough to get the two groups or links associated with American sport. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62998: I did my best and managed to get two groups and three links. Lack of REM knowledge stymied me. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63015: Great grid. I loved the overlapping answers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63014: 5/10. Got one group and the links after it resolved, but didn't know enough of the films group them in the time. Challenging. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63010: Hard! I failed utterly. I loved the towns group. I think I just need better general knowledge for the others. Fiendish. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63006: Great grid, I only failed on the final link, I don't know the works of that author. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63016: @Ace - thanks for the feedback. I've added 'cardinal' and 'direction' to the linking terms. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63014: Only 4/10. Spotted all the connections early on but each group had one that I'd never heard of. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63016: Too clever for me. Some of the clues are expressions or people? (or film, per google) I've never heard of, especially the seasons. Oh, and the compass one could a) be more precise if you specified Cardinal points and b) allow "direction" as a valid answer as well. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63016: @SF7 Wow! Many thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

SF7 @ #63016: Probably my proudest 10 I've ever gotten on this website! Great grid, nicely done (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63015: Quite simple, but with enough overlapping options that it took a while to work them all out. (2 years, 5 months ago)

pedant @ #63004: could you swap paper for taper perhaps? (2 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #62973: The Restaurant line is fabulous and the kind of thing we need a lot more of on PuzzGrid (instead of just synonyms and "all can be followed by word X"). (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63009: Two decent groups, two not so good, the symbols and particularly the chimney one. Too obscure/niche. But thanks for posting. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Rustic @ #63006: Nicely set (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #63010: Tokay is a grape variety, not a drink. Other groups are rather contrived and/or obscure, apart from the towns. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #63001: In the end happy to get 2/10 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62407: Nice concept. I got two groups and all the connections. I just didn't know enough of the names to make the final two groups correctly. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62427: @ Fred - The scarlet red jackets fox hunters wear are known as 'hunting pinks' not because of the colour but because of a tailor named Pinks who were considered the best maker. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62430: Haha - I actually managed to get one line on my second set of clicks! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62432: Great Grid - some fiendish red herrings. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62578: Very hard. I agree with Ace, some of these are just too obscure. I think the numbers groups could work if you changed "Tutu" to "As well or overly much" meaning 'too' which would give you: too, fore, ate, nein. I liked the professions group. I found the male name group very confusing - one of your explanations seems to not even relate to any of the answers "Dan- level or writer" I like the letter group concept, but perhaps the clues could be easier: "The English drink" for T(ea) maybe, "Old Flame or Roman 10" for (e)X, "A sting in the tail" for B(ee), "Form an orderly one" for Q(ueue) I hope this doesn't sound too meddlesome. Just my thoughts. I liked the concept. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #62999: Loved it! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62687: Awesome Grid - I love the overlapping answers and the links between links. Many thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62729: Nice Grid - I got all the groups and three of the links. Failed on opera. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63004: Oo - I LOVED this grid. Some really brilliant overlaps and great links. Many thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62999: Sneaky, but the time group is a bit weak; only one of them is inherently a measure of time. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62845: Loved this grid. Good red herrings. I got all the groups, but the written communication group foxed me. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62987: Nice Grid. Loved seeing "The Crystal Maze" referenced. Some nice red herrings too. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62991: Fun Grid - I liked the overlaps. I was able to get them all and the links and enjoy my confetti. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #63000: That was hard! I only managed two groups and two links. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62994: Great Grid, the overlapping answers had me foxed. I only managed one group and two links. Challenging. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Cuffers @ #51755: Haha, this was the tits! (2 years, 5 months ago)

samson @ #62980: They are all purely visual substitutions. No consistency involved (or needed). The use of upper and lower case letters (at random) is solely a means to further obscure the words, so that they are not so obvious. Thanks for doing my grid! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62992: Great grid, some nice overlaps. I missed the playing field connection, so only got 7/10. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62993: Nice grid. You've mixed up your answers and left James in the DJ group instead of Grimshaw. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62986: Video game characters are not "famous", and your noble gas group is just unbelievably contrived, a step too far. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62990: Nice and simple, no red herrings, easy confetti. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sarahs @ #62971: We loved these grids - very entertaining, but this one was just too obscure for us. There seems to be a problem with grid 62972 - it wouldn't let us complete the connections so we couldn't rate it, but it would have been 5 stars again. Would have loved to have seen the answers to the ones we didn't get. Thank you for the fun (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62975: I'm a farmer, so Bluetongue is well know to me. But after a bit of feedback, I have changed the grid to include a term that is more common in everyday life. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tilly @ #62974: Smashing grid, shame it has been marked down, cannot understand why. I will now scrap the one I have been compiling which was pretty much the same. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

datroof @ #62982: One of your best. Enjoyed it! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #19437: This is the worst grid in existence, and I just did one with some dumbass puzzgrid animal garbage (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jesus @ #19550: The puzzgrid animal one was garbage. Some people have never submitted a puzzle. Next time, try something Harry Potter (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62982: Great Grid, took some solving. Love the overlapping answers. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #30596: Fun Grid - I liked the overlapping answers. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

SF7 @ #62976: It's not bad - couple of changes I'd suggest... 1. To accept something like 'phrase' for the Churchill speech as its much more commonly known as a phrase and would be a very obscure linking term to come up with Churchill speech. The other is bluetongue (to my knowledge) is an obscure disease only found in animals and really only known in South Africa. Just a little too obscure for me. Happy to be corrected of course. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62980: Maybe I'm too old, but I don't understand the substitution of capitals and numbers for certain letters, and that is not explained anywhere in the More info. Also your alternative alphabet in not applied consistently. For example: 1 represents 'l' in p001, but 'i' Raf1q and Hab1b. 0pibn1 includes 1 representing an 'i' but also includes an ''i'. This made it very difficult to decipher the different words. Maybe it just needs some tweaking. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62838: Brilliant Grid, so much fun to solve. Great job. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62970: Great Grid - as a Brit I didn't know the football sketch link - but I got the group. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62744: Brilliant. 10/10 for both is us. Thank you Raven (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62964: Properly good grid. Thank you Kitty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62744: Great grid - the 'last word' group beat me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62782: Great overlaps. A really fun grid to do. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62960: Totally foxed me! I only got two of the links. Great grid. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

squareeyes @ #61228: dix out of dix pour moi! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62975: Thanks for your feedback @Ragman and @Freddgar, I have corrected the misspelling. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62976: Thanks for your feedback @Ace, I have corrected the misspelling and changed the the words category to include a connection as you suggested. I hope this makes for a better grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

dollymix @ #62970: I thought that group might be too obscure, but a) it's reasonably well known in the US, and I'm guessing that's their most famous sketch, b) I've seen groups from Monty Python sketches so there's some precedent, and c) the names are silly enough that I figure people can probably lump them together even if they don't know the connection. Fair enough on Lou Reed - I was trying to keep it to solo artists but had trouble coming up with a non-obscure one. I switched him out for Marc Bolan. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Helen @ #61228: Shouldn’t be with English grids! Although I solved it, and knew why, none of my answers were accepted. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #62974: The "link" for the "guinan" row makes no sense. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62802: Fabulous fun. Thanks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62960: Well constructed wall. Nicely judged. I liked the "level" reference. Haven't thought of them in years! And the hammer line was clever, too. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62964: Nice. Thank you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #62838: Nice concept. Well executed. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #55509: Kentucky line was very good. Thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62975: @ragman, I wondered that too. Googled it, I think it's a typo for tongue. There is a condition known as bluetongue. Bluetongue is an insect-borne viral disease to which all species of ruminants are susceptible, although sheep are most severely affected. It does not affect humans (phew) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ragman @ #62975: What's a Bluetounge / Blue tounge? ?? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62976: Nice effort, but needs some work. Missing/extra letters are all very well, but they work better if there is some connection between the resulting words. Oh, and it spelled "Tongue" by the way. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #16470: Excellent. Red herrings between the groups and a huge red herring of a spare group. Thanks for the tasty challenge! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #62949: "round" is a property of a shape, not a shape itself. If I was to describe something as simply round with no other context, you wouldn't know if it was a flat circle, or an oval, or even a sphere. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Fred @ #62950: ditto fruit comment (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62974: Love the concept. I think your link explanations need correcting. I assume one of the links is Texas, but this isn't shown in More info. Also, is 'Kentucky Fried' a phrase on its own? I only know Kentucky Fried Chicken. Would Fried chicken be a better grid entry? Thanks for the puzzle. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62976: My apologies - I have submitted the same grid twice in error. I'm new to the site. Please forgive my error. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62848: Nice. Thank you Abraxas (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62861: Nice n easy thank you charles (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62848: Great grid, love the overlapping answers. I think your bear group is fine. You say the link is "can be followed by" and Koala's are commonly referred to as Koala Bears - even though they aren't bears. Thanks for a fun puzzle. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62861: Great Grid with some good overlapping answers. I got two links and two categories. It was a lot harder than I thought. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62970: Oh, and being slightly pedantic, Reed was not Glam. Didn't matter for the answers, but still... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62970: Would have been good, but the one group based around characters from a particular sketch from a particular comedy show that loads of people won't have heard of lets it down badly. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #62949: Kicking goals here Tilly! The format is a winner. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #62964: I like a bit of rhyming slang! TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #10267: Very good grid. Not easy by any means and some good overlaps and combinations. Thank you 👍 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tilly @ #62949: Thanks all for the feedback, happy there was a general consensus of approval. @John - thanks for yours, I have changed it - and @mal, I considered what you said and am happy to leave those as they are (2 years, 5 months ago)

ScaptainSky @ #62968: This puzzle should not have been made (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62967: It's Lewis Hamilton (2 years, 5 months ago)

mal @ #62949: The 'geometric shape' category doesn't quite work ( unsquare? And one round throwing it off?) , and Swayze's Wheat would be ''Sam'' rather than ''Ghost''. Good concept and interesting but could do with some tweaks (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62874: Really liked this grid. I definitely wasted time looking for the fourth 'Basil' so great red herrings. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62892: Great Grid. Loved the overlapping answers. I had never heard of Sun Bears or Sloth bears - so I learnt something new from this puzzle. Thank you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62896: Great Grid, Some nice answers that cross categories. I was looking for a link beyond just towns. I was thinking are they all associated with food? Sometimes it is just a simple link. The words with moved initial letters totally fooled me. I thought they were places in a fantasy realm. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

BetteGridler @ #62915: Thanks Mr Hanks I've changed it! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62900: Good Grid, some nice overlapping answers. I don't agree that 'Golden' or 'Scarce' are synonyms of unusual. I can't find any dictionary definition that supports the use of either word in that way. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ryan @ #62921: "Associated with gaming" is a bit tenuous. I said "tech companies" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Brinky @ #62926: I liked this good work (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ryan @ #62957: Excellent grid. Recognized the Beatles songs thanks to Sadie but didn't know the final one (Michelle) however, and I got unlucky with some guesses, so I ended up with 7/10. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62915: Great and fun film grid. I loved the link between the links. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62943: Good Grid, I scored zero though. Couldn't get my brain to tap into the links. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62948: Good Grid, I didn't get all the groups or connections because I was anticipating they would all be Shipping Forecast related. But your links were great. This was hard - in a good way. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62863: Liked the Trouble group though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #62959: Fun and uncomplicated, a quick solve TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62949: Great Grid, I got two categories and three connections after it resolved. I love the format. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62958: Looks like you've deliberately thrown one clue into each group to try and throw everyone off. Spain in the sauce group is perhaps the worst, as all the others use the names as you've written them. Annoying. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Helen @ #62940: Hannah doesn’t have a female forename: it IS a female forename. What name is in education? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62950: Good grid. some nice overlapping answers. I never get the Mario groups, but that's because I'm not a gamer. I entered fruit as the link work for the "Types of Fruits" group and got incorrect. Maybe add 'fruit' singular to the link category as well as 'fruits' pural. Just a suggestion. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #62949: Nice but one error - Willow in Buffy's surname is Rosenberg so that clue is a bit misleading (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #62957: Good, trad grid, lots of red herrings (2 years, 5 months ago)

Helen @ #62863: I concur. Fetal? French verbs? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Helga @ #55253: Good fun (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62304: Good one. The K bit got me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62926: Pleased with myself. But not sure what Copper Head is. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62838: Getting more creative grids! Good one. I could have bet my house it was Soylent Blue. Lol. (2 years, 5 months ago)

faneto @ #44800: Didn't know which lines any of the stations were on so the last line was pure luck (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62915: Good grid. Enjoyed it a lot.Thank you Bette. Ace - there’s a certain search engine called “Google”. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62907: Mystery group is a mystery to me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62778: A Goodc Tussle to complete. Disappointed with 'ducks' grouping.. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62915: Just fine (2 years, 5 months ago)

Sredni @ #62911: Brilliant as he is, Mark Felix has never actually won the WSM competition. Great choice of category, though! (2 years, 5 months ago)

mo @ #41311: This was great 10/10 I love rain man + the tiger that came to tea (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62887: Fun approach - I enjoyed solving it. Can't believe I typed Lemon in the link box. Word blind, obviously. I had to settle for 7/10. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62889: Great grid - loved the overlapping answers. Missed the hidden birds, but happy with 7/10. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62895: Good one. Liked the backwards numbers line. The rest were easy. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62895: Good one. Liked to backwards numbers line. The rest were easy. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #51755: This was one big category. Excellent. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #62878: I typed in four correct words for the categories, and got no marks for this. You really need to list more words to make this one work. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #10225: Dodgy connections. Law enforcement is not the same as national security agencies so that did not work. I agree with Bob on the SWAT issue. Thanks for trying though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #10220: Did not enjoy this grid. Thanks for trying. Better luck next time. (2 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #62851: D, in NATO phonetic, Juliett has two 't's. Good grid, got my confetti. I think most setters have used a variant of the Evan group, so I spotted it quickly. Thanks! (2 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #62851: Why aren't Romeo and Juliet interchangeable here? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62920: Some good categories and overlapping answers. Personally I don't think moving from East to West and turning left or changing to drive on the left are synonymous. So I don't think there is a clear common link between items in that category. I would propose changing two of the answers so that all items in that category concern East to West migration. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #62920: Extra points for the Feivel Goes West reference 🐀 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #62895: Damn, so obvious when you solve the grid but sadly I failed and got stuck on the loo! 🚽 "Ig" must have given me brain freeze ❄️ (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62910: I agree with Ace - some of your answers are interchangeable between categories. Russell Square and Bethnal Green could each go in the forenames category or the double letter category. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #54971: Loved this - the homonym link between the links was a really great touch. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #10186: Great grid. I nearly didn't get the last two categories in the three guesses until I saw the Carry On movies link. @Avenger The Village People line up was Ray Simpson (the policeman), Randy Jones (the cowboy), David Hodo (the construction worker), Felipe Rose (the Native American), Glenn Hughes (the leatherman) and Alex Briley (the soldier). Maybe do a simple google search and check the first result before being insulting. Just a suggestion. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62869: So impressed how you managed to get a Star Trek actor surname into each of the other categories. Great grid (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #2655: Loved the grid, nice lot of answers that span multiple links. And Bananarama's greatest hits. What's not to love. :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #62915: Quick and easy TY (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62895: I thinkc' teetb' should be acceptable. Nice straightfworwd grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62915: Not bad. Managed to get there with seconds to spare, but was disappointed not to get full explanations for the answers, given that I guessed at five or six of them from just one half of the clue. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Leann @ #54971: This is definitely my favorite so far. Very well thought out! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62910: Not a unique solution. There are at least two compass point clues that could also go in first names, one of the colours could swap with one of the names, another name with ha compass point, etc. etc. Must be hundreds, at least, of possible solutions. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Nigel @ #62873: This one needs a correction to allow ‘pot’. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62873: Enjoyed this - got all the groups, only the pots link foxed me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Nigel @ #62869: The phonetic alphabet set also work by making a new word in each case by adding the letter ‘P’. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62863: I agree with the other comments. "One letter away from" is a poor link, especially as three words require you to change a letter and one requires you to add a letter. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62218: Very hard. Only got one link after it resolved. Links all make sense though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62203: Great grid - the final two categories foxed me. I did get all the links when it resolved. Some nice overlapping answers. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62197: Wow - that was hard. I didn't get any categories, but I did get all the links after it resolved. Yes I also loved the 'Red Beckham' and spent a few minutes looking everywhere for Brooklyn. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62194: I have to agree with Rich. Africa isn't a country. I think another film with a country in the title would work better. for example A Passage to (India) - 1984, or (China)-Town 1974. Just a thought. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62175: Wow - that was tough! I didn't get any groups or links. All made sense when I reviewed it at the end though. Very challenging. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62174: Great grid - I enjoyed solving it and I got all the links. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62173: Great grid - didn't get the kings - some good answers that fit more than one category so kept me guessing. @malcom Dwarves was coined by Tolkien and is used in his writings. The film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. So I think dwarfs is the correct plural form for the link in that category. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62171: A good grid - I didn't get the link on the last category and I agree with other comments that LACE is not a synonym for rope. I would suggest substituting a word that contains CORD. "Record" for example, which might also act as a 'red herring' along side CD and DVD. Just a suggestion. :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62162: Challenging grid - I only got two categories and links - The Ingmar Bergman and foreign Oscar winners foxed me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62159: Great grid - some good overlapping answers kept me guessing. Managed to get them all and the links - so I'm happy :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62159: Just read the other comments. Agree Simon Reeve is a bit misleading. Maybe you could swap in Christopher? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62906: Some of the group links are a little tenuous, "things related to" and you need to add shorter, simpler terms to your answers, like "shop" and (correctly-spelled) environment. And what is "poulluting" supposed to mean? I assumed it was a misspelling/typo, but you've got the correct spelling there as well, so what gives? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62159: Great grid - some good overlapping answers kept me guessing. Managed to get them all and the links - so I'm happy :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62157: Great grid - foxed me. I knew the Transporting actors and the baby animals - the other two - not a clue :-D (2 years, 5 months ago)

Smitten @ #62154: Great grid - I didn't know Tyler the Creator so that on stumped me. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #62907: "Words relating to adjectives"...?! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62861: I don't think a "unite" was ever a British currency. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62863: Yes, the fetal group idea isn't really in keeping, plus it's not, in itself, a real word outside of the US, most of the rest of the English-speaking world still retaining it's correct spelling of foetal. But TBH I think the grouping of a random group of French words was even worse than that. Obvious, in the context of the rest of the grid, but there's no link between them apart from being French. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62866: Nice idea, could be even better if you made the capitalisation more consistent. (2 years, 5 months ago)

huw @ #62893: What's WLLS??? I'm an idiot. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62897: Made much easier by four clues being names, got all the groups without initially knowing all the connections. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62745: Good grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

nighttime @ #62889: Hen is not a type of bird but the female of any type of bird. And also of a lobster. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62238: BTW Mystic Pizza is 1988, not 1998 Got it confused with Mystic River which is 2003. Oh well! Thanks for posting. :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62848: Fun grid. Thanks :-) BTW, koalas aren't bears, they are marsupials (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62892: Fun grid. Easy. Thanks BTW, it's spelled "Phoenix" (2 years, 5 months ago)

Tyvent @ #62896: Hi, Spike. That's interesting . . . It's certainly true that trips > strip are anagrams. If hutec, onkh, and orrorsh were words (I double checked wiktionary, and they're not in there), clearly "anagram" would apply to the whole group. I would argue that anagram doesn't work, but there's an argument to be made that it would, so I'll be generous and add it. It's just points, after all :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62838: Fun grid - thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62854: Fun... thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #62900: Good grid. Fresh. Thanks :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Flumbo @ #62858: I'd say fraud is a type of crime rather than a type of criminal no? Fraudster wouls be more apt. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #2655: Nice. Well crafted. I enjoyed the duck line particularly. Thank you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Trixie @ #62873: Enzed when you know you are right just take the point. It was a pattern for all group answers to end in s (2 years, 5 months ago)

barry womble @ #62879: Simple. Nice theme. Enjoyed "Beret". 5 stars. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62859: Yes, I've updated the description to include 1950s. No, it was the Hawker Hunter - like most of them the manufacturer's name may be added if desired but isn't always used. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Enzed @ #62873: I should have got 10 but doesn't accept the snooker term group in the singular. Worth including both with and without the S in the future (2 years, 5 months ago)

Plod @ #62869: Nice mix ty (2 years, 5 months ago)

Avenger @ #10186: So when does Indigenous People not work (when you say Indigenous Peoples)? Numb nut. Wrong - Village People did not have a soldier character - the one you called a soldier was a construction worker. Total tosh Katz ... should be Dogz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 (2 years, 5 months ago)

IH8GrumpyOldMen @ #62859: I think you’ll find the Hunter was introduced in the late ‘40s and ‘50s, not the ‘60s actually. Oh, and it’s called the Hunter-Hawker. (2 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #62843: Liked it, fell for the Katniss connection even though it didn't seem right so another 7 here. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62830: Excellent. I couldn't do it. Good ideas, fake groups etc, and no swaps (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62813: Terrible. One of the most niche/obscure grids I've seen for a long time. The answers barely give even a clue as to what the clues mean. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Katharine Childs @ #62832: Great wall! I got the "feeling" group without knowing why and then failed to get any of the other three groups despite seeing the connections. Confounding but fun. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62823: Nice. Good groups. I was lucky to guess Enos fitted in my first group - clearing that helped solve the grid in 45s (2 years, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62826: Good ideas, but, as Swan can be swapped with Page,or Carter there are at least three valid solutions. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62828: Very good. Not too impossible once I got into the clues, but I did only have 25 seconds left after solving, and still don't understand 'use an uncle' at all (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62804: Couldn't get the egg group. Despite saying to myself "they are all things you can ..." Can't complain, fun grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62804: I especially did not like that one. Obscure musical references are always a bad idea, because not everybody is into music, and, of those who are, not all will like a particular group, and even if they do, they may not be sufficiently expert as to get such connections. A good grid is one which could be got by anybody with a good enough general knowledge. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kitty @ #62808: TY for the grid. 2 of the categories were straightforward but the others are dependent on in-depth knowledge of American sports. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #62804: well done. I especially liked the category containing Detroit (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62806: Quite simple apart from the Pop group, 3 out of which I have never heard of. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #62794: several of the answers are not entirely right. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #62802: ...except that the definite article is "the", not "a". "A" is the INdefinite article. (2 years, 5 months ago)

barry blue @ #62769: Watermelon spelling? Also, 'racquet sports' should be acceptable. Fun otherwise! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #62766: Very good. I knew all of the connections, but I didn't know enough film names to be able to create the groups! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #62766: That's the best grid i have played in a while. Well done. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Alan @ #62766: Fun grid. You might want to change "nationality" to something like "geographical adjective" - or at least include that as an option. African isn't a nationality. (2 years, 5 months ago)

squareeyes @ #62766: Thanks for all the lovely feedback! Sorry JohnQ if you put in "ordinal" and it didn't work. Award yourself 10 anyway and I'll edit it. I toyed with "The Italian Job" but on the other hand, I like the slight red herring of King and Queen in the same grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #28993: What fun. The connection for the Beatles line stumped me, and I was ready to take umbrage. But it's genius. Well done. And thank you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62766: Very good 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ok @ #62768: A bit of advice: I’m not sure what you’ve put for your connecting terms, but it seems like you’ve really misunderstood how they work. You should have any key words that could explain the answer listed separately and should use the smallest part of each word where possible - e.g. I would put “geo” or “geograph” for “geographical features”, as that would cover your intended answer as well as any containing “geographical” or “geography” phrased in other ways, and I would also include some other related words people may use to describe the connection such as “land”. Accepting multiple linking terms is especially important when the answer is vague, like your “around town” group. Your key linking words for that should probably include town, city, shop, store, location, etc. to ensure that everyone who recognises the connection can be marked correct. (2 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #62766: Loved it, thank you! (2 years, 5 months ago)

JohnQ @ #62766: Great concept, but have to agree with snackula about African. "The Spanish Inquisition" or "The Danish Girl" maybe? Also add "ordinal" as a keyword for the numerical group? (2 years, 5 months ago)

count snackula @ #62766: Would have given it 5 stars, but strictly speaking 'African' is continental rather than national. I am a bit of a pedant though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daz @ #62764: yet another unpossibly vague and obscure one... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #62723: Please change the Wilde set to accept just playwrites, without the famous having to be there! Otherwise good grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daz @ #62765: one of the worst so far.....the game one is utterley ridiculous....the kiloing one isnt much better. (2 years, 5 months ago)

JohnQ @ #62748: very nice grid. I also know "cream soda" but never heard creamy or creaming. Could go with whiskey instead maybe? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #62751: Tie? What? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #62751: Would suggest "Entice" not "Enticement" for that group for the sense of the word to work. (2 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #62759: Do you seriously have nothing better to do with your life? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #62751: Dune bug is a bug and a car and a cocktail (2 years, 5 months ago)

Commish @ #62683: Three of these are fun, the video game group is more obscure. More famous would be "All your base are belong to us" or "I took an arrow in the knee" or "Would you kindly" (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62758: Fatuous American stuff. No fun. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Jimdas @ #62676: Ahhh man! The mental gymnastics with the lights, sticks, atch's, itch's.. Only to be greeted with "preceded OR followed by"... Thanks, great grid... (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #52415: @d only got 4? I remember my first grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #58133: Pretty godo for being entirely in french. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #62720: Huge disagree with @Ace. So true @misof. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #62701: Good puzzle, a little easy for someone of my intellect. (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #62745: Nice grid. I think you mean Afghan. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Mr. Ruth @ #62743: So true Ben but Liam I disagree. Also Wiccan is my favorite superhero. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62744: Excellent grid. The express link was frustrating, as a fan, but I just couldn't fathom it. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Liam @ #62733: What Eve said, number should also be acceptable. Additionally "talk" should be an acceptable answer you shouldn't require the word synonyms and not accept synonyms of the word. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Liam @ #62743: Not forces in physics but vectors in physics. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #25294: Can be followed by "island", not precede? :-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62749: @RMP I think they 'work' well enough - MT for example is used as an acronym/abbreviation in some industries, but I didn't like that there was no connection between the meaning of the words so spent ages trying to work it out. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #62743: They're not forces, more like terms related to movement in physics (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #62749: nice idea but some of them just don't work. MT and Quins especially. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62748: @Kit - I know it as creamy sometimes creaming, it might be different elsewhere. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Kit @ #62748: Is “creamy” supposed to be “cream”? :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Daisy @ #62643: Thanks for the feedback! I realise homophones are always tricky across different accents but figured they’d be close enough to be recognisable. Also @Krista “spies” is there as a synonym for “sees”, not spies as in secret agents, and the pare hint is referring to skin on a fruit or vege, not something more gruesome! I believe that it is an accurate definition. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Rose @ #62695: Great grid, super fun! (2 years, 5 months ago)

RMP @ #62744: Nice but absolutely fiendish - would never have got the "Express" row in a million years. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #28734: (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #62734: Sorry, but this is very poor. This doesn't test lateral thinking at all, which is what only connect and the grids are all about. A list of names means nothing, unless you know who they are and not even the best lateral thinking skills will allow you to think it out. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Lake @ #62740: One of the better hidden numbers groups I’ve seen! Having a mixture of real and fictional people in a name group is always confusing, though. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Eve @ #62733: Agree with the previous comment that the link for the number group should be “homophone”, homonyms are when the word is spelt the same but has a different meaning. Simply allowing “number” as a connection would work too :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

fezzo @ #62733: The connection for the numbers category should be "homophone", not "homonym". (2 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #62733: Terrific (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62692: Enjoyed this grid, nicely done. I don't see the issue with the pirates/captains - they were all both, so as long as either is deemed valid it seems fine to me (although some work on the answers may be needed, my 'captain' was not allowed). And suggesting that a penguin isn't a chocolate bar is being pedantic in the extreme - it's a bar covered in chocolate, what more do you want? (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #62713: 5 stars for mentioning one of my favourite songs ever. Thank you (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62692: Either they're captains or they're pirates, but can't be both in one group, even though I got it. And Penguin is sold more as a biscuit than a chocolate bar, more Club than Kit-Kat. But I enjoyed it all the same. (2 years, 5 months ago)

b @ #62732: Two really obscure groups there, which makes it no fun. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62735: Hard to find a start and some of the groups are little obscure. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62632: This is good. (2 years, 5 months ago)

barry womble @ #62710: Beaten by the clock. Tremendous grid. (2 years, 5 months ago)

s @ #62736: loved the 'hot things' clue! Very satisfying to get that one :) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #59852: Lovely. Elegantly constructed, with no tenuous definitions. Thank you. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Dev @ #62730: Nice grid. I kept putting the Queens in the red and black group, grrr. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62718: Good grid. I guess an earlier problem was fixed, it all worked fine for me, although my answer "bird first letter" was not close enough, apparently. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62720: Good one. I do hope you insisted on the French connection in the colour group. I put it in, so of course I think it should be required ;-) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Helga @ #44989: Great grid. (But we needed double the time!) (2 years, 5 months ago)

Bathfood @ #31483: Lovely, thanks. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62726: Not just tenuous, they're not unique; catastrophising could be switched with at least two of the cat group. And blood just doesn't work with the group, needing an extra word, whereas the others are just examples of that word, although classing chess as a sport is also stretching it. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Stephen @ #62714: nice grid, varied categories. fun to play. (2 years, 5 months ago)

malcolm @ #62692: I don't think captains/ pirates is a sound category - these are not the same thing so it is a mixed group. And Penguin is a biscuit, not a chocolate bar like the others (2 years, 5 months ago)

malcolm @ #62718: What snackula said.These aren't bird names. Also Ian Beale is not a person, he is a fictional character (unless there is a real famous Ian Beale that I just don't know about). The change the first letter set was good though (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista @ #62551: Has he James? If he`d put Whole Food it wouldn`t be the company name it would just be a foods type? Perhaps on the categories? Those keys are on my PC too by the way-just `keyboard commands` perhaps? Didn`t know he owned Washington Post too!! Ugh-his mouthpiece as well as another nice little earner! (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista @ #62552: Yes-Zues is Zeus! And you can`t put NCCA all in Caps-it`s a giveaway!! I guessed even though I didn`t know what they were. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista @ #62554: Good but I typed Island nations and it didnt work! I needed another point too!!! Why isn`t Australia an Island Me? I think it is! A large Island Nation but still one. But I enjoyed trying even if I did only get 2 points. (2 years, 5 months ago)

Krista @ #62564: Companies doesn`t work because Nestles and Fiji and Dansani are all famous for other stuff. I only guessed that group based on the fact they are companies( not water-brands!) ! I`ve learned some K-pop groups though. Now I`ll go listen to some 😊 (2 years, 5 months ago)

Ace @ #62706: Very poor answer explanations; just listing the names without the connections doesn't help at all if you don't know who they are. (2 years, 5 months ago)

samson @ #62700: Yes, tofu and soy sauce are both made from soy beans, but the explanation does not say or imply that each are made using differing beans from each other. All four in the group are made from different (various) types of bean. (2 years, 5 months ago)

F Beasts @ #62663: In honour of the Fantastic beasts film releasing today, a grid dedicated to all things wizarding and bestial. I have tried to give fair warning in the name but the limited number of characters makes it difficult to be clear. If you are not a fan of the franchise my apologies, this one isn't for you. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Helga @ #44930: Very clever & good fun. Solved it but not in 3 minutes! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #62660: Maybe? The principals were relatively straight forward but getting some of the support to fit was certainly a test [even for me]. I enjoyed the challenge (2 years, 6 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #62660: Maybe? The principals were relatively straight forward but getting some of the support to fit was certainly a test [even for me]. I enjoyed the challenge (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62559: Good all round, nothing wrong with the pronouns, and certainly no higher than 'medium' difficulty. (2 years, 6 months ago)

film buff @ #62660: Maybe a bit harder than I thought? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62643: Nice, but homophones are always subject to regional variation, and a couple of yours, e.g. ear/air, pier/pare just don't work in 'standard' pronunciations. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Chris McLean @ #62629: I agree with Kitty the red in the reds group needs to change to another shade of red really (2 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #62654: The puzzlers who make the connections easier (use more words) will always be more popular than ones where you have to get the exact word (eg one of my guesses was "types of" the word you had and wasn't allowed) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #62640: Some well worn themes but well put together. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mickle @ #62510: Awful songs, awful one dimensional quiz - needs some variety to be vaguely interesting (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #62628: Very good, just nicely challenging (2 years, 6 months ago)

Chris McLean @ #62628: The animal homophone is a little bit off with ewe being a female sheep where the others are animals species but otherwise good grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #62643: Thank you - got it in the end, just! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Axelle @ #62661: V good enjoyed thoroughly (2 years, 6 months ago)

Birch @ #62661: Bitch (2 years, 6 months ago)

Brinky @ #62636: Really enjoyed the grid. Would have preferred a different Egyptian God to "Re" . "Amun"dsen would have worked. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62660: Got the movies but only one line in time. Enjoyed thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ugly @ #58193: Aaa (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #62609: Neat! I just could get the link for the "Eight" line. Very clever. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62644: A bit too clever, so many overlaps it's difficult to know where to start. James could also be made to work, and Callahan is only unique because of the unusual spelling, which is just nasty, and then to throw in the Chaucer group including yet more red herrings! Impossible. (2 years, 6 months ago)

DH @ #62569: good fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mustard @ #62640: Custard? I think you mean mustard? (2 years, 6 months ago)

hiya @ #62564: it's "go fish" (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62633: Sorry this is very poor. Your solution is not unique at all. For example, you could easily switch orange and lime and still fit the categories you provide. There are many other examples of switches that could be made and still solve the grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #62449: Lazy and too specific. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #62629: Red Red? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62598: super fun (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62613: This is a grid for a very specific audience. For those of us that aren't interested or don't know about whatever game that is, it is a terrible grid. Make these kinds of grids if you want, but don't post them on the general interest page. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62628: Very good, nice and easy grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Brinky @ #62598: Nice grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62612: No idea what sort of cards you're referring to here, but as the whole grid is about them it's certainly not of 'general interest'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62603: Yes, agree love it. Only got 6 squares and 1 line in the first go, but got it all on the second attempts. I love my own stupidity at times thinking Clemens was a stanza. Much appreciated 😊 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rys @ #62587: The piano thing's going to get lots of grumpy puzzlers downgrading an otherwise okay wall. If there's some clever way piano counts as an organ, you definitely need to explain it in your answer. Otherwise, you should change the piano card. The best idea off the top of my head would be calliope (a steam whistle organ). (2 years, 6 months ago)

Garrett @ #62480: Didn't take "zeus" which is understandable i guess, but like- also, didn't take "animal" for the cartoon animals, and didn't take "concert" for the concerts. Decent grid, but it doesn't award any points. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62590: What a ludicrous waste of time. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62593: I agree with Aidan. Also the subject matter is unpleasant. These grids are meant to be a pleasant diversion, not a grim reminder of the garbage that goes on in the world (2 years, 6 months ago)

Aidan @ #62593: needs better answer choices. Poorly made. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62584: the milli category - those don't only go before word second, they can go before many measurements in the metric system such as: -litre, -metre, gram, etc. also, 'er simpson' should actually be 'r simpson' for your answer to be accurate. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62554: Nice Grid. It looked very difficult at first, but i was able to sort it. Unfortunately, "Island nations" should work for that category, but it doesn't. Also, The middle eastern countries are also all arab or muslim countries, and that should be reflected in your possible answers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Helga @ #62539: Fun! (Only just did it in the time!) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62577: Only possible for a maths geek and k-pop loving microbiology researcher. No way it's of "general interest". (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62578: Far too obtuse, and some of them just don't work. No way tutu fits in its group, the name group is just contrived, no way anyone's going to work it out unless they start out looking for names. And others are like cryptic crossword clues without any template or word length which can only be grouped if and when you've solved them all. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RainyDays @ #62502: Loved the grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #62555: Great ideas here, but it could be a lot better if you made the groups more consistent. For example, 'Jacket' doesn't really fit in that group because, although it can be preceded by 'yellow,' it isn't necessarily a yellow thing itself. You could do a group of things that can be preceded by 'yellow' ('Submarine,' 'Brick road,' and things like that) but it should be one or the other in my opinion. Thanks for making this grid though! (2 years, 6 months ago)

malcolm @ #62550: Apart from the music ones, the categories are not great: the restaurants one doesn't make sense - how do you find 'expensive'? & the other things could be found anywhere. The state abbreviations should be capitals , not with lower case second letters to make them look 'elementy' And 'on the periodic table' is far too general - you should at least try to use elements that are in a particular group on the table , or that are all metals, or gases etc (2 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #62501: It's really "Hell's Kitchen" rather than "Hells Kitchen," isn't it? Seems like a little thing but I was really trying to think of something with a plural "Hells" in it lol Very nice grid though! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #62543: TTT ii TTT (2 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #62522: It's a fun grid, but kind of impossible to solve. There's so much overlap between the racket sports group and the volleyball group that you just have to get lucky guessing that. And all the "kick"s are also football/soccer terms so it's weird to have a group that could be placed inside another group entirely. Red herrings are great, but I think this wall has many possible solutions that make just as much sense as the actual one. (2 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #62543: and the point was? (2 years, 6 months ago)

this was amazing @ #62542: shouldn't you be working (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #62517: Nice. Thank you (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #62540: Thanks for posting. Felt that having two groups of veg, one specific and one generic, didn't really work though. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62522: Far too much interchangeability. And using some very specific groups with others very loosely connected, just makes it feel even more contrived. Oh, and it's "goal kick" not "goalie kick". (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62525: "Lady Bird" was not a first name, but a nickname. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62525: Great - the Laura group caught me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Daz @ #62521: errible...the circle one isnt even correct lol...and hearing Dome??? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rys @ #57936: As disappointed as I can get with my country sometimes, at least we don't have Mr. Blobby. Yes, I know he's a joke. Still, sheesh. And he had a hit Christmas song? What? Just, how? Did he lace that year's Christmas crackers with LSD? Did he threaten to eat every first born? Was he secretly Paul McCartney??? I... never mind. Between Blobby and Marmite, I just can't... (10/10!)

Hamburger @ #62408: @Ace. - I see, I've changed it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62486: I like the idea but it needs fixing up as some of the answers are not unique. Cheers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Castellan Spandrell @ #62502: Confetti, fun connections, fairy bread sounds... interesting. Bit too optimistic on the space you had for explanations! (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #62497: The word Moler does not actually fit in its supposed row. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rupert @ #62496: kondja mia Sorry about that, I made this so I could click on the name and find an earlier puzzle I made. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Psst @ #62478: (Don't use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on wounds! Use mild soap and lukewarm running water.) (2 years, 6 months ago)

kondja mia @ #62496: "Ono" should be "Uno". Also, i think you misspelled "maori" when setting the answers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #62434: 👍 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62462: The boat group just doesn't work. Cargo needs another word adding to it, and Monitor? Apparently some old sunken warship. but not a 'type of boat'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62485: One of those annoying grids where you can know three out of four in each group but still fail to find the fourth. Well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Helga @ #62409: Nice (2 years, 6 months ago)

Bathfood @ #54362: Wonderful grid. Perfectly judged. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Simon @ #62392: His is a pronoun. Thematic begins with 'them'. 'Them' is a pronoun. (2 years, 6 months ago)

moonie09 @ #37982: terrible grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hypatia @ #62478: Should take "injury" and "drink" (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62478: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62480: Not bad, fairly simple but a couple of false leads. You could do some work on your answers though - the not speaking group are just animals, NASA group are space programs, festival (singular) wasn't accepted... (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62480: Great grid and great red herrings. I thoroughly enjoyed it (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mag @ #62460: Hi, I’m curious what the two different meanings for camp are? I’m not British or American and am only familiar with it as a descriptor for someone’s humour/personality, like a campy drag queen. (2 years, 6 months ago)

orchard91 @ #62448: enjoyable grid, thank you! (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #62434: Had me thinking, but not for too long, so that's just fine. 10/10 here. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #62448: Interesting one, and 10/10 for me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

malcolm @ #62413: Could maybe narrow down the tennis category to a championship they'd all won? It's a bit broad (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62448: Nice one, got the lot 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #62422: Enjoyable overall, felt the music one was a bit of a weak connection because you could have used pretty much any colour that you could link to a song or artist. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62456: You've spelled biscuit incorrectly in one of your answers. Which marks correct answers as wrong Other than that, decent grid Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62455: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62446: Could you possibly have been any more obscure? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #62434: I like doing this type of grid! Good one thanks! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62408: @Hamburger - One of the group follows jacket rather than preceding it as the answer suggests. But that's just being pedantic. (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #62425: Not tricky but very pleasing - some nice red herrings (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #60722: OK, I don't know the Simpsons, but a decent grid and 7/10 for me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #62392: His is an adjective. The is not a pronoun. Poor. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Trick @ #62431: 3/10 for me.i could only thi k of dog breeds for Jane😁 (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62427: @ Fred, it refers to the colour of the jacket gentleman fox hunters wear. Ladies wear black, no idea why, but there it is. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #62434: Nice and easy straightforward grid Enjoyed this one 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #62427: pink??????? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hamburger @ #62408: @WrinklyDink - I don't see how; they all fit fine. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Rys @ #62411: I didn't find it obscure, though older players definitely have an advantage on this grid. Solid 4 for me. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Trixie @ #62430: apologies, deleted (2 years, 6 months ago)

Observation @ #62408: Nice, but yes, a slight modification would make it better (2 years, 6 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #62408: One of those in the jacket group is slightly wrong. Might want to get change the answer :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62399: I concur with Barry W. I got three out of four in so many ways and almost let out an expletive at 13. TY (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62383: Yup, good, beat me though (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62411: I thought this was good, almost excellent. Just one line which felt weak almost as an afterthought. Re work it slightly, and you would get 5* from me (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #62413: A departure from your usual offerings [and nothing wrong with that I might add] (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #60812: Spelling mistakes don't help. Locus? And what's honey boo boo? What cars does Ram make? In 50+ years I've never heard of them. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #62411: Really obscure stuff. No fun. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62404: Too complicated for me, just 3/10. You misspelt Crepe, by the way, although TBF I got that group anyway. (2 years, 6 months ago)

barry womble @ #62399: Really clever. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Moondog @ #2082: Balto may have been in a cartoon movie, but was based on a real dog. I suggest you look up the Diptheria outbreak in Nome, Alaska 1925. The stories of his heroiism may be apocryphal, but the dog certainly existed. (2 years, 6 months ago)

WonderSR @ #46966: Très chouette grille, merci ! A noter que "Inventions françaises" n'est pas accepté. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #62376: Liking your new format. 10/10 for both of us. [Did not get S-E-T- until the reveal, so missed out on the red herring :-)] (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #62378: Far too niche, and the groups were too similar, so if you didn't know quite detailed knowledge about world politics you were utterly stumped. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #62380: Lovely! (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #60899: What's "lite"? (2 years, 6 months ago)

StrikeDAC @ #62113: Thanks for adding the Red Herring labels (2 years, 6 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #62359: Some things to work on here: 1) need some red herrings 2) links need to be more accurate (nausea is not an injury) 3) "There was a car" link doesn't make sense and the group has no link other than forming a sentence (2 years, 6 months ago)

Chris McLean @ #61879: Good wall but could do with adding some alternative spellings for ACDC (2 years, 6 months ago)

Georgy Forgy @ #62349: Great grid. I enjoyed it a lot (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #61167: Pretty simple, but thanks for setting it. (2 years, 6 months ago)

b @ #62256: Gallipoli is a peninsula, and the scene of many battles throughout the ages, but I got it in the Italian group. Sorry, but I always feel that just to list the start of some words is a cop-out when you can't find a better group. (2 years, 6 months ago)

D @ #62256: There's no Gallipoli island in Italy (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62323: Another one, under another name, getting even worse. One group simply 'adjectives', another makes no sense whatsoever. Again, nothing resembling any crossover or red herring. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62322: Seems like several grids created by the same person under different names for some reason. Several of the groupings are shared in multiple grids, most of them are really obvious, several are simple grammatical features, and in no case is there anything resembling a red herring or any possible overlaps. (2 years, 6 months ago)

bbard @ #62302: Great grid! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #10899: Me and my friends loved it! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62272: Some good ideas, but the grid is insoluble. Seigfried Farnon was a veterinary surgeon, not a doctor, so that group is invalid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62290: Sorry, that last comment was meant for your other grid. This grid was better - the explanations made some sense. I'm not sure a grid based entirely on exactly knowledge of Latin grammar and precise use of the correct grammatical terms beyond 'noun', 'verb' and 'adjective' is particularly interesting though, especially when the difference between two groups was one being irregular nouns and another being nouns of a certain declension. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62297: This would be more interesting if there was some explanation in the 'solutions' of how the items related to the links - whether they're the name of a work by the poet, a nickname of the poet, a first line or quotation from a famous work by the poet. If some of the clues are quotations, they need to be longer than a single word, because they're not really meaningful, identifiable or unique. It's just impossible to see what the grid is getting at really. I've read works by three of the four Roman poets who were the answers here, but nothing in the grid helped me towards anything more specific than 'latin poetry'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62296: Not of general interest. Presumably all about translations from Latin, intended for a school class, perhaps? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62290: This would be more interesting if there was some explanation in the 'solutions' of how the items related to the links - whether they're the name of a work by the poet, a nickname of the poet, a first line or quotation from a famous work by the poet.

Lynne DIXON @ #62256: Gallipoli is not an Island! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Commish @ #59307: Also, Brady is NOT the goat. Not-so-subtle way to interject a Patriot fan's perspective. Mountain goats probably don't cheat. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #62256: I'd never heard of an Italian Gallipoli, but what do you know, it exists! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62254: Please broaden the categories. For example, your answer is "all places in Norway," and my answer of "places in Norway" was not a match. Even just using the country name as the answer category didn't match. (2 years, 6 months ago)

dollymix @ #62070: "Stout" refers to a kind of beer, but I've never heard it refer to a vessel, and I don't see that definition in Merriam-Webster. (2 years, 6 months ago)

dollymix @ #62113: I love the idea of the Shaggy group, but it's a little inconsistent (if it's "In the Shower", it should also be "On the Sofa" and "On the Bathroom Floor") and I think it might be too similar to the "caught" group. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #62159: Nice one, cheers. One minor thing is that Simon is a "Reeve" whilst the others are all "Reeves"es. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62227: What a superb mix of topics. A delight. Quite easy but excellent anyway. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tyvent @ #62223: @Cristobal The abundance of poisonous animals always seems to come up in humor- and top ten articles about Australia. I suspect this notoriety was partly due to nature shows decades ago shown to young kids (me included) where poor Australuans couldn't go to the beach or reach into a cupboard without getting hospitalized by freakish-looking box jellies, blue-ringed octopuses, stone fish, or funnel web spiders. Anyway, I just used it as a setup for the joke about Vegemite. @Plod Clearly, I'm dubious about spreadable yeast byproduct, but like I said, I'm promised it's good stuff :) (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62226: this is not a grid that is of general interest at all. It is all about one single television programme from some years back. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62143: Even with the correct spelling it's not a great group definition. Related to, yes, ending with, no. As for the vines - no idea what you're referring to here, perhaps more explanation is required? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62227: Nice. Took me a while to spot the hidden words, but got there in the end. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #62226: Not a single name I recognised. Is it just me? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #62221: Good ideas, but doesn't quite work. Arran and Barra can be swapped with each other between groups, so there e at least two valid solutions for the wall. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #62223: ... and vegemite sandwich. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #62223: Nothing wrong with peanut butter! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #62196: Like the style of this one! But there isn't a book called Hercules Poirot - he's a character in over 40 stories. (2 years, 6 months ago)

barry womble @ #62174: Great puzzle. (2 years, 6 months ago)

barry womble @ #62197: A proper challenge and an excellently executed red Beckham. (2 years, 6 months ago)

barry womble @ #62199: Devious in the extreme. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62156: Two easy- two niche. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62195: Isn't Fresh Prince a valid answer? And where is 'lave' from? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #62174: You're probably thinking of Balthazar as the second Magus, although they are not named innthe bible as such. However, a second biblical Balthazar exists and could have given his name to this bottle. This Balthazar was the last king of Babylon, killed during the seizure of the city by Cyrus in 539 BC. As such I think it's hard to justify that Balthaz and Nebuchadnezzar can't be exchanged. I would certainly not allow for this possibility if I were setting. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Plod @ #62196: * just for a laugh! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jimdas @ #62171: Enjoy (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62171: Good. Though it didn't give me the hidden word group eve though I put - hidden words twisted fibres rope. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62173: I don't know my Tolkien otherwise straightforward. Thanks. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #62174: Thanks. Not too tricky. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62136: Imp does not really fit with the other three. Otherwise a good grid, if a bit too easy. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #62174: Very easy but a nice mix. (2 years, 6 months ago)

EOS @ #62174: Very nice red herrings. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jon @ #62173: The Carolingian dynasty one is pretty weak - First, the kings of the Carolingian dynasty were rules of different Frankian empires, which "became" the Holy Roman Empire as much as it became France - Louis could be any king/emperor of that title. The other three names are very specific. The association still works, but it's not great. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62173: Great grid, with some excellent red herrings. One in particular, but I won't say which so as not to give anything away. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Davi @ #15859: White and Rapunzel are both Disney princesses. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #61778: The surname that links the forenames is Corr so that should work as well. (2 years, 6 months ago)

malcontent @ #62083: Some good ideas, but there's a typo (Cyldesdale for Clydesdale) which is misleading, and because New Forest, Exmoor, and Dartmoor could all be in either the horse breed group or the National Park group, there are at least three equally valid solutions, so the grid doesn't actually work as the walls are supposed to . (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ant @ #62070: You should replace the Sorcerer in the Harry Potter line as it's more commonly known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ant @ #62079: Certainly a challenging grid. I eventually got the idea, but I think I would have needed a little more time (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #62134: Think I must have been lucky. It only took me 38 seconds. Nice grid. Thank you (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #62135: I wouldn't say this is of general interest, and therefore it shouldn't be posted on the main page. Unless you're a pokemon fan, none of this means anything to you, since they all have to do with various aspects of pokemon. (2 years, 6 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #62136: Great grid, thanks (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mickle @ #61837: Gray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #62134: Very frustrating. I saw the four categories very quickly, but there was so much overlap of membership, that I couldn't try all the combinations fast enough. (2 years, 6 months ago)

ALD @ #62103: (2 years, 6 months ago)

George @ #61883: Wow what a grid. I particularly liked the concise explanations of the groups. And the straightforward not at all obscure nature of the groupings. grid setters could learn a lot from this grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

CornWoman @ #61811: Love the missing vowels concept and literature is underused on this site in my opinion so nice work. I'm going with Jesus here, even though these are famous authors and you've not introduced any extra spaces, given the time limit you might want to make some of the works a little less obscure.

Ace @ #61832: Windows is not an electronics company, not a company at all, just a Microsoft OS. Deliberately confusing. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #61811: Fabulous (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61813: Is does make sense, sort of, but it's far too obvious, and the answers just accept any word in the clue, so kinda pointless. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #48610: Easy peasy lemon squeezy (2 years, 6 months ago)

Erin @ #61813: I think this misses the point, these aren't connections just common phrases. The "connections" don't even make sense. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61773: Not often I'd say this, but your answer grid allows too broad a definition. I had no idea of the film link, but it gave me a correct score for 'games'. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #61740: Excellent! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Puzzfairy @ #61747: Well, it's listed as a US grid, so . . . :) I did go through a second time to check the linking terms you provided. You can/should shorten ("truncate") them so when someone enters a typo (like matj or colo4) or uses strange, ungodly spellings like maths, colour, analyse, or manoeuvre, they'll usually be marked correct. So yeah, "mat" works for math or maths, "colo" for color or colour, "tra" for track or tracc or trak, "elem" for elements, etc. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Cockles @ #61733: Superb. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Puzzfairy @ #61713: @Ace I can understand why someone would think so but it does work. @Tyvent Winners of Emmys, Tonys, Grammys, Oscars. If you explained each link that simply, as just the award won, not person+show/movie winning the award, would that not work? Or would there be multiple solutions? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61717: Nice easy grid, except for the wording of the links - vehicles and chillis not accepted for the transport and peppers groups, though both are equally valid - actually never heard of ghost chilliss or Aleppo chillis referred to as ghost peppers or Aleppo peppers, but I know there are red and pickled chillies.

Ade @ #61714: Great grid. Clever and fun. Thank you SugarPi (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61726: Didn't like that two of the groups featured one element that doesn't really conform. In both cases a name, first one being used to make an expressions that is not at all common (as stated for the connection) and secondly an obscure foreign name being used as a word. If you're playing word games you really should only use 'real' words. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61732: I don't get the colour group at all. Fingers, sure, but none of the other three are in common usage. The level of abstraction required for the anagram group is absurd. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Kitty @ #61717: Came to same the same thing! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61729: @mal. I agree with your general comments, but where are you from that hello doesn't rhyme with yellow? Are you just saying Hallo or Hullo (both of which are sometimes used in written English as alternatives to Hello)? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #61611: Didn't accept 'containers' and didn't accept 'martial arts styles/moves' which is what those characters are presumably named after. Grid of the day? Wouldn't have thought so. (2 years, 6 months ago)

I HATE JAMES FINSTER @ #61613: Best grid ever? (2 years, 6 months ago)

I HATE JAMES FINSTER @ #61612: Awesome grid :D (2 years, 6 months ago)

I HATE JAMES FINSTER @ #61487: Very bad grid - did not enjoy it! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61573: Excellent, once I stopped putting the same ones into a cricket group I solved it. Shame I then typed gricket instead! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61527: Nice, I put anagrams for the palindromes which works too, but went for ice instead of soda. Which doesn't fit with stream! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61462: Nice grid (2 years, 6 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61589: Good grid, interesting groups, but none of the literary devices or figures/speech in the 'figurative language' groups are actually figurative. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Sredni @ #61606: Classic mix of high and low brow: it’s what we’re here for! (2 years, 6 months ago)

Mickle @ #59048: Bought isn't a homophone for boat in any accent - certainly not Yorkshire or lancashire. Just awful, or as we like to call it: cheating (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #39029: Quite good but I prefer puzzel rather than knowledge based questions in fiendish (2 years, 6 months ago)

Castellan Spandrell @ #61559: @Ace perhaps, perhaps not... a Dame is a gentry title whereas the rest are peerages (2 years, 6 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61600: That was brutal. Cheers. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Oslo @ #61602: Hence the preface Naur. I am prepared to plough through American girds and those designed for teenage computer game/pokemon enthusiasts - even though I am neither. "Variety is the spice of life" as they say. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Naur @ #61600: Wish palindrome and flower worked as answers, but solid grid. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Naur @ #61601: coincide is meanie (2 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #61118: Compiler clearly does not understand tautology or oxymorons...... (2 years, 6 months ago)

Naur @ #61561: Normally I hate grids where I have to solve a puzzle in order to get a piece of the puzzle. I like my good old fashioned Only Connect styled walls. Yet, I knew enough about half of these clues that I was able to pick up on the 3-dimensional theme and actually play! Good work. Would you believe me if I told you the first thing I recognized was Pyramid Head? (2 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #53550: Good one, but what on earth is box 20 about in the match group? (2 years, 6 months ago)

Naur @ #61529: Sorry, Kitty! My bad. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Naur @ #61575: Managed to get the exercise equipment one on accident and yet it was the only one I didn't know the connection to. Pretty tricky. I'm a big fan of the pain group. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Susan @ #61588: good (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #61557: Nice n easy (2 years, 6 months ago)

Tash @ #61501: Please add 'allergens' as an options for guessing types of allergies (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61515: @Plod: not sure it's used like that in the UK. Although I've not lived there for some years it certainly was not when I was growing up there. It's only listed as a US usage in Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, and as slang is some others, and I suspect it has indeed come from a distortion/misspelling of scoff. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ace @ #61559: Not quite a unique solution. Duchess could swap with Dame and both groups would still work. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #61562: Please don’t post any more grids (2 years, 6 months ago)

SugarPi @ #61553: Please consider adding rank and/or ranks to the accepted answers for military titles. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #61552: Nice grid; connections were not too tough, but I couldn't for the life of me see the connection in the group containing cake. Even though it was obvious once I was given the answer. Well done. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Feza @ #47422: I thought the same as SeedyEm. Nice grid tho. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Feza @ #52050: kakkamies, red-herrings like Pride are deliberate. They make it more challenging. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Ms terry @ #61553: Rightio, Igor will do (2 years, 6 months ago)

Brinky @ #61533: The grid is good and tricky but the mathematical constants do not work when capitalized which I know are the rules. (2 years, 6 months ago)

Igor @ #61553: I did enjoy your grid, thanks, but... In your explanations, please also state which word to be added goes with which clue. I know that I can look them up but that little bit more from you would allow me to move onto the next grid a bit sooner. (This applies to other setters as well!) (2 years, 6 months ago)

RMP @ #61532: Dollitle is presumably meant to be Dolittle (2 years, 7 months ago)

Naur @ #61501: This was a serve. Loved it. Slay. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Teffy @ #61508: yes!!!!!!! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #50348: Ary could fit first row.Not heard of bright leaves. (2 years, 7 months ago)

cristobal @ #61504: Agreed. Yorkie and Aero are chocolate bars made by Nestlé. Cadbury and Mars are manufacturers, although Mars is also the name of the chocolate bar. A bit too complicated to make a good group on here. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #50351: I thought it was a good grid. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

cristobal @ #61521: Hmm, I'm little rusty on my Napoleonic Marshalls. (2 years, 7 months ago)

ernst blofinger @ #32387: excellent grid.... (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #61460: Nice grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jovana @ #61500: Hello, "car models" isn't accepted for car brands... And also, y is a vowel in these words, so I said "words where y acts as a vowel, and it's the only one" and it wasn't accepted, but it should be :) Have a nice day! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61501: Two of the groups have a lot of interchangeability, with at least hone and milk being able to swap with eggs. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61504: Got all the groups, but not the swift connection. Too old/cultured/uninterested, I guess. But the chocolate group isn't really internally consistent. Three of them are indeed bars, two of them are manufacturers. The UK link is correct only if you allow one manufacturer together with three bars. Could have made more of it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #61505: Great grid - hard but in a good way! (2 years, 7 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #61515: I can see what you're going for and it's close but not quite there. Love the concept though and look forward to more in the future! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61515: scarf? Is that an accepted American term? Or just a misspelling of scoff? (2 years, 7 months ago)

quodlibet @ #61483: Never heard of a lot of these, but managed to solve it anyway. Liked it! and liked it better when I saw the hidden theme. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rys @ #61392: I didn't think this puzzle was so bad that it should not be on the default page, so I upvoted it. I solved two rows, but palindromes jump out at me and I am a musician. Even though I play video games and went to school, I don't think I could have solved the rest with even ten minutes, and I bet the other people rating this puzzle felt the same way about most of the puzzle. Anagrams are usually very tough to spot, and long ones take a long time to solve. I suggest you use no more than one anagram puzzle on a wall so people have a chance to solve it by default (when people solve the other three). Also, since they are usually tough, anagrams do not need to be tougher with a link to a niche subject, like video game characters. Simple is better, I think. Replace-a-letter (or add or subtract) puzzles are also easy to frustrate people with. Similar advice if you think to use them. So those are my suggestions. Please feel free to tell me to pound sand :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hey_Buddy @ #61493: Great Neneh red herring! (2 years, 7 months ago)

David Maidstone @ #61492: Enjoyed this but it is one of my favourite shows. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Deborah @ #61031: Sorry to say that I should have got 10/10 but the grid only awarded me me 6. It did not accept “languages” as the answer for “language subjects.” I learnt from this and then typed “scientific subjects” for my next answer however it did not accept this either. Maybe just make the correct answers a bit broader if possible (as I know it has been pretty broad in other grids :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61486: Great ideas, good fun, but rudder and oar can be swapped over so there are at least two valid solutions to the wall. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #61389: I'm not into musical technicalities, which cost me a point (and therefore in fact three points), but otherwise a good grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

b @ #61434: Enjoyed that. Good red herrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61447: Quick tip if you're not aware: when you enter the acceptable answers, it's almost always best to truncate each term. Try to include only the minimum amount of letters that gives you 95% confidence that the player has the right answer(s) in mind. For instance, instead of "orders" in this puzz, it's probably better to use 'order' or just 'ord' (as long as someone uses a word starting with ord, it's marked correct). This makes typos and players guessing your 100% preferred answer less important. Regardless, great puzzle here! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Olivia Nava @ #61448: That billionaire one! That was fantastic. (2 years, 7 months ago)

nikki @ #44919: I put "Super Auto Pets" for the Deer/Fish/Grapefruit/Sheep and i got it right.. ikyky (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61435: Great fun - saw three links straight away, but a couple of answers in two groups were beyond my general knowledge, so I only sorted one line in time. Got all four links though. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #61429: Very good. Good groups, good fake groups and redherrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60389: OK (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61318: Wow! Never have I ever before taken a look at board and said "Who the devil are any of these people?" Definitely out of my element here. (Nonetheless, I got 1/10 from the obvious grouping.) (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61350: Was totally out of my element with the "Obey" group. 4/10 for me (The only group I got was the "Priest" group, right away.) Great quality as always (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61395: Nicely done. Loved the red herrings. Only managed 2/10 (from the connections) A small nit, "clown" should definitely be capitalized. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61304: Confettied in under a minute. But nice grid and definitely nice tribute by you. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #61396: The 'birth' group doesn't accept the answer you have put. Stopped me getting my confetti :( (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61335: Making a fiendish grid is difficult. Making one that's virtually impossible is simply pointless. (2 years, 7 months ago)

malcontent @ #61366: Nice groups, good redherrings, not too obscure, but three hidden word/word puzzle lines and only one knowledge based one is a bit samey. Good fun thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Atticus @ #27068: Lemon? Did you mean Lemmon? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bindipper @ #61351: The ratings aren't a reflection of how good the grid is. I've seen some shockers with 4 stars and good ones with 3. It's a flawed ratings system. 10s of thousands of grids in and I don't think we have a single 5 star game. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cheeseburger @ #61351: I rated FIVE STARS, my favorite one yet! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61310: Very difficult, but I live in the right city to score 10! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #61301: Our team absolutely destroyed this grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Adam @ #21280: Great grid - fair and just tricky enough without being frustrating (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #61222: Very good! And at last, anagrams that aren't glaringly obvious! (2 years, 7 months ago)

JafarAstro @ #6364: Currencies didn't accept currency and lanes didn't accept lane - its worth including these if your link is plural. Also, the england cricketers one is not the names they go by or spelt correctly. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61291: Physics really needs to be physical to make the group work, and you should accept singular values, e.g. element, instead of just plurals. And as for pokemon.... (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jovana @ #61238: The PVGEHF (rot13) group are actually all types of BENATR, but that wasn't accepted as a valid answer :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #61196: I think Kim Hunter should be Kim Hyde (2 years, 7 months ago)

Patsy @ #61200: Just wanted to bring to your attention an issue with one of the connections, namely the Skywalker one. Leia was never a Skywalker, she was an Organa. And Ben was never one either, he was a Solo. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ant @ #61208: VGTBLSRNGRLL is missing a P. (2 years, 7 months ago)

wordy @ #61225: Atticus the difference in curb only applies when referencing the edge of a pavement. Check is a herring (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60808: Get your suffixes and prefixes sorted out. As for oars and whores, well, really struggling there, aren't you. And what's nonmarine? Non-word, if you ask me. (2 years, 7 months ago)

kondja mia @ #61238: Not too tough in the end, but good fun. (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60739: Group answers too precise. I claim 10/10, you're giving me 6/10 (2 years, 7 months ago)

kondja mia @ #61239: Very fun (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #35425: I hate you as a person, based solely on your grids (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #61224: Great fun. Thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #36088: SYNONYMS! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #61208: Fair enoughski. I would argue that they are all fairly well known pizza varieties here in the UK. Think Vegetable Supreme is a Pizza Hut one, Meat Feast is a pretty common name across different places. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #61219: 👍👍 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #61060: nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

nush @ #61239: Nice grid :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Atticus @ #61225: Curb and Check both belong in the 'restrain' and 'UK/US spellings' category, so there are two solutions (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60935: What on earth does "Jackknife" contain that's a fruit? It's not available at most supermarkets! (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #182: wedding and birthday groups are just too close (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trillium @ #61224: Fun 2 play! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61208: Not bad overall, but let down by the pizzas, two of which are in no way generic (I'll just about forgive HWN). One can only assume must be on the menu at some specific UK chain. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #61118: The grammar nerd in me loved this! (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #23323: Why would anyone but the oddest youngster know about "first person shooter games"? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #42770: The answers for two of them are 'time', I would make it so two sets aren't the same. (2 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #61222: Can;t believe I couldnt see the anagrams. Well done! (2 years, 7 months ago)

misof @ #61118: Lovely grid, easy but really enjoyable! (could also accept pleonasms for the group you call tautologies) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8637: Trades not accepted. Neither is this grid - useless (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8625: Worthless grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61039: General note: Just because you haven’t heard of something doesn’t mean it isn’t a perfectly valid entry on a perfectly good grid. “Too niche?” “Too obscure?” Have you ever watched Only Connect ffs? Regard learning something new as a good thing or, alternatively, don’t do frickin’ puzzles. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61210: I like this one for originality of the Tim group but it’s not a unique solution BB. You can swap Skinner with Burns I’m afraid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61201: Probably the most important single engagement in the liberation of Europe from the West after D-Day? Ummmm… yes I’ve heard of it before. You know you don’t need to know each and every clue to solve a connecting wall, right? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Thankyou @ #43252: I’d love to see Lee Mack in Enter the Dragon!! Enjoyed the wall, this one made us laugh! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #61184: The days of the week was terrible. +1 sin on your permanent record (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61201: Modern history is a reasonable topic, but don't you think the falaise item is bit niche? Had you heard of it before? Have any other solvers? (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60662: OK, but York was the only red herring, and once that was eliminated it was easy (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mickle @ #61146: ridiculous (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mickle @ #61146: Ridiculous (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61189: This is good. (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60982: probably my favourite grid yet! went far too simple and merely guessed at colours for the black/green/red/pink connection, so missed out there :( thoroughly enjoyed the concept, thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

foldylock @ #21280: got twisted thinking about william taylor but overall a good one (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #61019: Good stuff, but solved quickly. (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #61039: The dogs are a bit obscure. If I saw an Akita in the street, I wouldn't know it. Same with Maltese. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61184: Chew is perfectly acceptable, even normal, in much of Britain. Didn't like the Cali group though, never come across bungalow or roll in that context. Are they common terms in the US or elsewhere? (2 years, 7 months ago)

nighttime @ #30387: It is "run around" not "turn around" (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #61153: @Nighteyes PubG is quite a famous Battle Royale I would say. I agree it's probably not the most obvious available answer, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect a fair number of people to recognise it as a battle-based video game. Your comment seems a tad condescending tbh - I thought the grid was a lot of fun (2 years, 7 months ago)

david A garcia @ #61184: I'm okay with the yod-dropping "toos-day" pronunciation, even though its not quite right to my ear, but "We'll take the chewb on Chewsday"? Not quoit roit, innit? (2 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #61185: very nice. even though I guess one group because they all started with R haha (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61181: Great grid - fresh. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61184: Loved this grid! Thanks :-) Solvable without being too obscure. Well done. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #39040: You tried way too hard to be clever. Please uninstall Windows. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #61164: Good grid, thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61118: Extremely simple but delightful. (2 years, 7 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60878: That was a good grid! I wondered if I would finish it, but in the end I had to settle for 4 / 4 groups and only 3 links. The fourth one got me. 7 out of 10! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61092: Critic by name... My only problem was slipover. Not once in my entire life have I ever encountered the term. Is this an Americanism? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61169: For the saw group, you should accept films as well as movies. If this site had a FAQ, that should be in it. In the Mine group, mine itself is the only real homograph ( "possessed by", and "hole where minerals are excavated"). The rest all form groups of related concepts, e.g. The teeth of two cogs may engage with each other, or two people may do so, or you may engage someone to work for you, but they all relate to essentially the same concept. Examples of good homographs are buffet ("finger foods", and "jostle"), and compound ("enclosed area", and "join together"). (2 years, 7 months ago)

A.C. @ #4720: Nicely perceived grid, but as a Canadian, my brow lowered at your choice of description, for the Great Lakes...lol. Being neither American or Canadian, and being the only ones in the world, we refer to them simply as they are, 'The Great Lakes'. I live between two and was lucky enough to be raised on the shore of another. I am blessed. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Simon @ #60245: Has no relation to the grid itself, but they are letters in PuzzGrid. Just a little easter egg, that's all. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61166: Very good, 10s all round Learnt what Sixtus meant 😁 Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #61019: Thanks for setting. It was easy, but that's not actually a crime, as I should probably remind myself (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #61166: 5 stars for an easy grid with an elegant judicial herring. (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61166: Good grid. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61167: Enjoyed the overlapping themes. Nice one. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #61167: Nice try. But leaving aside the humber question, Tyne is also a river, so could swap with Thames or Shannon. Therefore this is not a grid. 1* (2 years, 7 months ago)

foxholes @ #61167: Humber is not a river. It is an estuary. (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #61167: Nice theme with enough red herrings to make it satisfying to solve (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61164: Nice groups, but very easy. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61019: Good grid, but very easy. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61164: Annoyed I didn't get the link for the group including Bay root. Five stars! (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #61164: Yeah. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #61165: Really liked this. More arcane Beatles stuff please! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61156: @Tyvent: They're not really synonyms though. They can all just about be made to fit the definition, although I think rend is borderline, but at best they have similar but not identical meanings that can relate to each other in one specific context. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Anisa @ #61142: 10/10! Perfect (2 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #61164: Loved it! (2 years, 7 months ago)

penstamon whippleanus @ #61147: Nothing niche there. Sport of kings. Good grid all round (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #61139: Bob Dole approves this grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61156: I think synonym should be an acceptable answer for Rend etc. Still, a nice, quick board. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61139: Ahh just missed out on full marks - not a sci fi fan so had no chance with that one! Good grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61143: Yeh you've got meter/metre completely wrong which makes it very difficult to solve. I like what you're going for overall and would make a great quiz were it not for the 3 minute time limit. It's 2 quizzes in one which seems too much for 3 minutes in my opinion. (2 years, 7 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #61139: Not a bad grid, but could do with a check on the vowels group. "words" is a stretch, since one of them is three! (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61147: They are very well known darts players - not niche at all. Just because you dont know the answer doesnt make it niche. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61044: Why thank you, @mat. It's nice to hear. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61071: @phil dillson Yeah, really. Merriam-Webster, definition 3b "a deep pink" (although it usually shades towards orange pink, a fact they didn't mention) A common enough color word used on e.g. paper stock, costume jewelry etc. It's a named color in both CSS and X11, with RGB values #FF7F50 (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61153: Well I got full marks with a normal level of general knowledge. You dont need to know every single square to make the connections. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61147: Good except for needing niche knowledge of obscure darts trivia. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61139: Excellent example of a good, but not too challenging, grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61143: Apart from assuming a verb where you had a noun in mind, I got all of these, but the connections were just too hard to make in the time available. To be honest, it would have been a reasonable grid if you had just listed the equivalents. But if you want to clue at one remove then keep the group logic simpler. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61145: Did you actually intend to be as obscure as humanly possible? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61153: Pubg war? Let me explain... The idea behind these grids is that you are supposed to use groups that people with a normal level of general knowledge have heard of. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61154: You cant have two squares as piano, especially if you're left with those 2 groups at the end with limited guesses. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dollymix @ #61137: Not a unique solution - Horton and Grinch could be swapped (Horton includes ton) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61137: Interesting notes. Maybe I just haven't felt most of these quibbles because I was introduced to puzzgrid via 'Only Connect' on the BBC, where especially the letter, word-in-word, and lesser known item stuff is very common. As far as Americanisms, for those unaware, puzzles on this site are groupable by country since vocabulary, pop culture, and other general knowledge are heavily influenced by your country (I mean, being American, I've tried British walls on here that I find impossible but are rated 'medium' since it's easier for Brits to work on walls with Britishisms, Berwick-upon-Tweed, and Jimmy Carr). To wit, I'd argue American-specific stuff on an American-tagged wall shouldn't detract solely on that basis. But that's just my theory. . . My GAME THEORY! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #61146: Bill Withers, Countries??, as previously stated garbage, (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61142: enjoyable . Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pingu @ #61143: An interesting idea badly executed. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61146: Yes, the countries group is clearly incorrect, no idea what it was meant to be about. Very poor. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61146: Countries???? (2 years, 7 months ago)

SC @ #61143: 3.28 feet is a Metre not a meter. that is the US spelling and this is labelled as a UK grid. Cant read a Metre. (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61143: Good ideas - but some parts don't quite work (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60981: Snooker odd balls only is a bit silly, and gh is always silent, so that's poor too, just saying four words contain two letters in common. Poor. (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #61032: OK, not terribly challenging (2 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #61128: @Lindybeige That's because "of" and "a" are included in the list of valid responses. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61123: Nice bit of confetti - thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61121: Decent enough grid but very easy. Would have had full marks in less than 30 seconds but you should include movies for the film grouping! (2 years, 7 months ago)

James Williams @ #61138: I agree, JLSA. (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61121: Needs to accept lower case answers (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61137: I think 3 star is about right. A couple of clues are quite tough outside of the States (the word candy in general for a start). And should accept synonyms for anything that has synonyms. A good enough grid but not perfect = 3 stars for me. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #37515: Lots of fun. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #61139: Not too difficult (not many red herrings) but imaginative links. Very nice! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61137: There's also the hard group with two very US-specific terms; I think people tend to downgrade when they come across clues that mean nothing to the rest of the world, like 'hard seltzer'. (2 years, 7 months ago)

journeysa @ #61137: I think people are turned off by that 'x-inside-the-word' stuff for sure. Also it doesn't help that you've got 5 Seuss characters, but you went with 'Daisy-Head Mayzie' to part of the Seuss grouping and not the Grinch. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61118: Yeah, I avoided red herrings since there was lots more to read than usual, and I figured folks that never studied these oddities before could use more time to identify the patterns. Anyway, I'm plappy to hease! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61137: Huh. Don't know why this is a 3 star quality so far. I think it's solid! Anyone: do you think folks are less enthused by the ___ [word] connections and x-inside-the word stuff? (2 years, 7 months ago)

JLSA @ #60954: This was solid - annoyed I didn't solve it but I don't know the drink in "Whizzer" (2 years, 7 months ago)

JLSA @ #61138: Game based on a British TV show that views "Colour" as an incorrect answer is probably more than just unfortunate - it is going to irritate people. (2 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #61060: I'll take your word for it. I did a search before I posted the comment because I thought it could be a regionalism, and found basically no usage of "greetings card" in the wild. The most prominent UK source I found at www.gca.cards does not use the plural, and even the business called "The Greetings Card Company" is "the UK’s leading online greeting card shop!" I guess it shows that spoken language does not always permeate the written world as much as one might think. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trillium @ #61114: Very cool. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trillium @ #61118: I'd like to forward this to the Department of Redundancy Department. 😃 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #27132: Sneaky :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61117: mouth group could also simply be geographical features. lessen group should allow get less or smaller. Trolley group are also all things found in workshops. (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61123: Satisfying Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #27224: "Up" would also be correct for the "fishing terms" group.... I.E. - " Line up" "Beat up" Strike up" Hook up" (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mistet Tom @ #61100: Simple but good. An ellipse is curved though: it's not circular unless you count a circle as an ellipse with zero eccentricity. I don't (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #61117: Portland Bill? (2 years, 7 months ago)

TNBC42 @ #61019: I don't know if this was an intentional misdirect (as this is my first time solving a grid), but the term "Carbon Copy" is pretty widely used. Not sure if this is an intentional part of the game or an oversight. Fun otherwise! (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61114: Easy once it clicked., but fun for a change. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

bearcules @ #61101: One of the best grids I've ever seen (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61104: @mat; err, yeah, pretty easy. You struggled to recognise any of the UK politicians? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #61093: Thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61039: Great grid - got it first time. Fun and tricky. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #61093: I wondered the same thing. Last heard of, was the day following the F1 result. I do not think Fam is the kind of person able to morph and continue without a "reveal". I have looked at styles and comments but cannot recognise any signs. I could be wrong of course and if you read this Fam congrats on your new persona.🙂 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #61118: Nice TY (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #61113: Your goodies row was inspired. Well done. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61118: Loved this fresh grid! Needed to check my spelling though. Thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #61091: Cheeky with the Nato alphabet there, got me proper. Nice one (2 years, 7 months ago)

phil dillson @ #61071: coral? really? (2 years, 7 months ago)

dsws @ #60951: P. doesn't exist outside your neighborhood, and C. doesn't exist outside your region. If it's going to require local knowledge like that, the rest should be easy enough that the whole thing is still possible. (2 years, 7 months ago)

misof @ #61101: 10/10 with 0:32 spare. Language anagrams were the last group I found, and I needed to find it to finish the wall as I didn't have enough correct Ians. Lovely wall, great choice of categories, fantastic overlaps - Hislop being an anagram of Polish is a great find! (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61100: good grid. thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61110: Liked the originality of this grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #61093: Hi! I was just wondering what happened to fam? Did he/she morph of just disappear ?: o (2 years, 7 months ago)

D @ #61101: Fun one. Lost two points here - I'd add "demonyms" and "man" (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61101: Superb grid Simon. I do love most of your grids and this was stellar. Loved all the crossovers and head stratching. 6 stars (out of 5) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Charliezard @ #61109: One of the answers says "be followed by" instead of "follow". There's a version without this mistake (#61110), but I don't think I can edit this one, unfortunately. (2 years, 7 months ago)

mat @ #61044: Really fun one, great job as always (2 years, 7 months ago)

mat @ #61104: *Me looking around nervously in American* This is supposed to be easy? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61104: Very good, nice couple of red herrings Straightforward after that 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61091: I could have gone with Awards for the Oscar group but that's been done to death. - 'T' added to Quattro thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #39131: Terrible grid. One red herring is enough, sinner (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61099: AU group is fine, but the rest are both loose and obscure. Id = apple? Game = end? (2 years, 7 months ago)

GusTheFox @ #61092: Yeah. I think, with the best will in the world, Critic’s complaints are gibberish (2 years, 7 months ago)

mat @ #61103: decent, the food group is pretty broad though (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61100: Didn't like 'tube'. Otherwise good. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61103: The 'colleges' are all ivy league universities. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #61091: Very good, enjoyed the big red herring with the NATO alphabet. (2 years, 7 months ago)

oliver @ #61101: very good, very hard! (2 years, 7 months ago)

foxholes @ #61060: Excellent wall. I concur Greetings Card is absolutely fine. (2 years, 7 months ago)

ElMukahe @ #61099: Please capitalise! (2 years, 7 months ago)

ElMukahe @ #61101: Excellent grid chief, 10/10 (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61019: Decent grid, but just a little too easy. 10/10 in less than 30 seconds. Nothing wrong with being on the easier side of course, needs to be inclusive but I think more experienced players will look for others for a challenge. Nice grid though, well done (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61092: I think dropping the er is great as it confuses you because of the Soviet group. What exactly is a crippled word? All the words that are formed are plausible. It's a good grid, a little on the easy side if anything as I got full marks in less than a minute but there's nice misdirection and crossover and the groups are pretty unique. Well done! (2 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #61092: Good one. I thought I was critical! The final group had me foxed. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61060: Greetings card is 100% a thing. I managed to get them all anyway and within about 90 seconds. Great grid, nice red herring. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61019: Suggest adding "duplicates" to answer key. Nice grid. Got 6 points (all four connections, but only 2 groups) (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61099: The groupings are not bad idea but there are some really bizarre entries, heat death?! Comes before game is a very clunky box as well. And pet peeve - please capitalise the start of a word as using lower case or all capitals is in itself a clue. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61097: First, the nitpick: The first letter in a cell should be capitalized, as per the style guide. The topics are a bit loose, especially the "Dream" group. In general, precise words, letters, phrases, anagrams, etc. are better than simply "related to", because that could mean so much, and the answer space can diverge widely. The "box" clue wasn't precise, as it can't be directly preceded. Also, although I got this group, "sky" was merely a sideline, not the focus of the topic at hand. Keep trying, you'll get better. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61100: Good grid but a couple of the groups were a bit London-centric. Harder for us Scots! Ended up with 6/10 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Critic @ #61092: I don't see the point of dropping the 'er' from the clothes - seems arbitrary, unless the idea is that 'Jump' might be mistaken for a horse gait. And 'leaving out letters' only (slightly) works when the new words are plausible words by themselves and not obviously crippled words. Also basically no overlap between categories. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Philip Cooke @ #60969: Nicely done. (2 years, 7 months ago)

pedant @ #61078: @turnip - "painters in Spain" was more accurate still, but hey... // To your point, it's a matter of opinion: were you to tell my Spanish better half they were no longer Spanish, since they have produced most of their work (and family) in another country, I fear you might get mashed :) // still liked the grid, though. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60911: Good one, particular the fast row. Picky me I know, it's poleaxe, but I knew what you meant. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61098: No idea what this is about, I could only guess at sportspeople, but didn't think it worth waiting three minutes to find out. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61060: Err, Greetings Card is very much a thing. Not sure where you're from, but it's a perfectly normal everyday term in the UK, at least. (2 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #61060: The problem is that "greetings" works fine in the red herring group, but "greetings card" isn't a thing. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Trillium @ #61044: Tax-free entertainment! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61091: Not bad, although the fish group is incredibly obscure. One slight error - Quatro should be Quattro, with two Ts. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #57936: My first attempt at a solving a picture wall. As a Yank, I did have difficulty with one connection (despite the fact that I recognized Mr. Blobby from years of watching Only Connect and QI), only garnering 4/10. Kicking myself for missing the connection with the shell group. Anyway, well done, thanks! Top rate. (2 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #61084: Not sure Animal Farm is either SciFi or has become fact, but I get the idea. I really miss groups like 'all things you can ...' so top marks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61078: @Pedant (and I say this as a Marylander (although I've only lived here for the past 30 years, a bit over half my life), that state which embraces Poe as a Baltimorean, even to the point of naming their football team and mascot in his honor, despite the fact that he was only here for a few years (on and off), considered Richmond his home, and just had the misfortune to die here.) (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61078: @pedant He may have been born in Greece, but he lived half his life in Spain, and produced most of his artwork there. The description is accurate. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61086: I like it! More, please. I only got 5/10 (2 groups, 3 connections), but I cannot complain about the quality. Great red herrings. Five stars! (2 years, 7 months ago)

pedant @ #61078: great categories & red herrings. El Greco group category might recognise 'painters' and be more accurate on nationality (clue is in the name). (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #61085: Excellent puzzle, nice red herrings. Only 7/10 for me, I'm afraid. My answer wasn't specific enough for the Morpheus group. The Evens group might be a bit overused, but what can you do? There's only so many esoteric connections one can think of. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pingu @ #61073: Ugh, bloody awful. Despite your comment, I would still like an apology. (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #684: Tenuous (2 years, 7 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #61074: Good groups - enjoyed this. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #2296: Wonderful. Perfect. Particularly the inspired Curtains group. Thank you. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #61085: Great grid, thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

CornWoman @ #61044: I thouxht thix puxxle wxs a blxst. Thxnk Yxu! (2 years, 7 months ago)

God @ #60941: @Jesus Your imperfection is showing again. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Flora @ #61085: Nice TY (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61078: Fun and easy. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #61081: @Lindybeige - Manga/ Anime - Japanese 2D drawings similar to cartoons (2 years, 7 months ago)

gbox @ #61078: Fun! But I'd add the American spelling "mustache" as an answer for that category. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60954: 7/10. Couldn't find the connection in the "man" group. Nice grid. Keep 'em coming (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #61078: Sweet (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60951: Nice one. I confettied it, but I had to guess about the connection in the Chili group, because I only knew two of them. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60941: Welcome. Nice first grid. Other than the stretch you mentioned (which can be rectified by dropping the first three words of your answer, it was fine. I only got 4/10, but not because of the lack of quality on your part. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60916: Confettied in 26 seconds. I didn't find it personally hard, but nice red herrings and good quality overall. Well done. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60915: Nice hard one. I only scored 3.5 points Great quality, though. (2 years, 7 months ago)

CKJ @ #61078: Sadly, I lost a point because I used the American spelling of mustache. (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61071: Good one. I missed the Johnny link, but enjoyable. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #61081: The link category for Bleach was a mystery to me even after I saw the answer. Er... what's that? (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61078: enjoyable (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #61060: Not too tricky but fun. I am obviously old fashioned but greetings seems perfectly correct to me and a good red herring (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #61081: Nice! 10/10 but frankly I was lucky to guess the one to omit from the "hair" line (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #61053: a bit easy without any crossovers but still nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #61078: nice one (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #61060: Greetings as a plural is an unkosher red herring. (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #60853: Nice idea but I might have had a chance if the graphics were a little bigger. Couldn't make out what half of them were (2 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #61060: Good overall, but I don't think "Greetings" fits in its group. "Greeting" would. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Pooka @ #60993: I love all the red herrings, here, but it would be good to have more synonyms accepted for the answers to the dual meaning and match questions. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61073: You were right - it is not popular. What a waste of time. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61074: Weever. The list of artists is too loose. Almost any set of forenames can apply to almost any group if it is big enough. (2 years, 7 months ago)

beforan @ #61073: definitely enjoyed, but felt cheated out of my confetti because the cataclysm group didn't accept an abbreviation :P (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #614: Touch wood isn't really a thing, and those can also be connected as sports equipment (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61074: enjoyable. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

mat @ #61073: This is an unapologetically video game themed grid, and as a gamer I enjoyed it a lot. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61073: Thanks for the warning. I'll skip this one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #61001: I'm surprised bowl, dish, plate and mug were not listed as Chinese too. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #60959: Never heard of a balloon dog. Confetti still. Thanks, good one! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #61073: This is an unapologetically video game themed grid. I don't expect it to be popular but I hope a few gamers might like it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60909: I portrayed Charley on stage, more than 40 years ago. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60904: I have been around for 59 years, and I have never seen a payphone with that quality in the US (which you flagged as being your country), so "typically" seems to be an overstatement (The same for another item in that group) (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60873: Yeah, I officially got a 10/10, but really only got a 7 because I said "born in Tennessee" Ah, well. Close. Nice grid. MLKJ was obviously intended as a red herring for a different group, but as others here said, it was too easy to peel him off. (2 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #61053: Excellent. Limited-info themed grids tend to bore me, but this was unexpectedly great. I'd like to thank Rush for the knowledge needed to make the connections. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60871: The "Boy" group was a connection I was unfamiliar with, alas. Nice work, though. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60869: Solved it in 42 seconds. But still, nice quality. Can you add detail on the answers to the "Susan" group? I only got the connection because of two of the answers (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60837: Another nice one. Look forward to seeing more. I confettied this one. The Richmond group didn't fool me for a second, but I'm ashamed at myself for not seeing the group with Island until after solving the wall. (it was the "default" group after getting the other three. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rowena @ #61064: Nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60824: Really nice one. Tried looking for first ladies, but only found three. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61033: Not bad, but three of the groups with similar connections made it a bit too easy. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #60974: Liked this too, but thought "music" would be acceptable answer as well as "Bands" (2 years, 7 months ago)

Vicky @ #60975: great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Vicky @ #60990: great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Vicky @ #61018: very sneaky (2 years, 7 months ago)

bearcules @ #61039: Great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61064: Nice one. Only got two groups, but on seeing all the connections I felt I should have been able to get them all, which is the definition of a good grid in my book. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61034: I confess that I hadn't noticed that the definition of one group was just 'rivers'. I'd typed 'estuaries', which was accepted and makes the whole thing unique. (2 years, 7 months ago)

WiKa @ #36208: pretty good (2 years, 7 months ago)

Obscurious @ #60940: Love the name, loved the game. Common starfish (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #61043: good quiz. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60853: Great idea but 6 of the emoji didn't render at all, so I couldn't finish it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #61053: Nice grid! Thought it was going to be mundane at first but I was wrong! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jimdas @ #61053: Brills, love it, keep up the good work (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #28066: Any grid with Kabaddi in gets 10 stars. I love the idea behind that line. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Phoebe @ #61039: Good red herrings (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61030: Too Eyebrow (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61020: Good - but needs more crossovers (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #61044: An exceedingly excellent and exciting excursion! X out of X (in Roman numerals) (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #61033: it might have accepted English as well as British otherwise its Ok (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #61023: La? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Roger @ #61034: The problem is that 'Tyne' is also a river (and all of your rivers are also shipping forecast areas), so it can be swapped out with any of them to make an equally correct grid. So it's not a unique solution, sadly. But other than that, it's a great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #61037: 👌 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #61039: All seem so obvious once you know. Tough one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #583: Really satisfying. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61044: Xcellent, didn't know the Qix row You win 10/7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #28959: Lovely. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #24775: Quite brilliant (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61032: This is another one without a unique solution I'm afraid CC. There are several cities called Hamilton in the US so you can swap it with Chicago. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61034: Also, strictly speaking, the Wight group aren't all what you describe them as. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #61034: I don't think there is a unique solution here. Maybe why people are seeing so many red herrings. Tyne can swap with Humber, Thames and Shannon and still provide a valid wall. I have no idea what Ace has been drinking. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jovana @ #46964: Endroits où tu peux mettre le doigt, lol. Orifices sinon, ça serait plus classe :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #61015: That was fun, thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #61026: Presume you meant "debt" rather than "dept"? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #61034: I don't see any of the crossovers others mention. All 4 groups were obvious and distinct. 30s job. Not a criticism, was quite a nice grid, just easy (for me, but apparently not for some others). (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #31073: Well balanced. And an opportunity for me to find out all about the Zodiac line. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #50902: Wonderful. And well executed. Stand By Me is more famously a song by Ben E King. Since all the other songs are easily identified, maybe change this to a more distinctive Oasis song, such as Wonderwall. (2 years, 7 months ago)

VCM @ #61039: Nice one. Didn't get the dogs though (2 years, 7 months ago)

David M @ #61034: I put it harder than it is as the two groups I was left with needed luck to get in the three last goes. I should have sorted earlier. (You'll know which two when you've done it) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60974: As a fellow film buff, I loved this grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #61035: Three of the answers don't have explanations. More information please. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #61013: Very enjoyable! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Beezy @ #61015: Fair enough, updated (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61014: Thanks. I liked the ooze line especially. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61001: A Great Wall rather than a great wall ;) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Atticus @ #61015: Should accep musicians or pop stars instead of 'mononymous celebrities' (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60992: Rare combination of very tricky and very satisfying. Range of links, nothing too obtuse but it beat me 6/10 for me 10/10 for you. (2 years, 7 months ago)

KizzyLion @ #61013: Excellent challenge! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ö @ #61013: Nice grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

David Punter @ #61014: Nice grid but unfortunatelly didn't allow wound as an answer (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61001: @SF7 Absolutely, hence why I graded it as easy. But it's a "Great Wall", wouldn't you agree? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #61004: Couldn't do it but brilliant!! (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61001: A bit too easy to work out the group without much thought imo (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #61004: Not within 3 minutes!! (2 years, 7 months ago)

aaron @ #61005: you're why ls got fired (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60910: Great 5*. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60979: A nice grid Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60979: (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #60995: Nice! The Woo line is just brilliant. I feel like "sell" is too non specific here. Otherwise a great grid. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61011: Wow. I learned a lot from this grid. Hummingbird, Lane, Pea, and the entire Beck group. Thanks. I'm not sure pear is definitively in its group, in the way that the other five are. Otherwise, a great grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Flora @ #61008: *Bit of fun! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8407: Nicely thought out grid. Thank you. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8402: Great grid - thank you. Solved it but enjoyed the red herrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #44346: Usually I leave jokes as comments that are insulting, but now I am just going to say "the"..... (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #44455: Your grid is a whammy, so you may want to change your name (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #44490: It may help if you at least TRY to care! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #61003: Lordy, that was way too tough for this time of night (23:55). 6 Herrings that I can count. But it was good and lovely all the same. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mr. F @ #60227: this was a good puzzgrid. it made feel good about myself. good job. @turnip ur mom is too easy (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ant @ #60968: An enjoyable puzzle for the end of the day, thank you! :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

plod @ #60976: Hi, barry womble, it is a bit of a trick, he is actually listed as being both (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #60941: Hope it is your last submission as well, this is my judgement. (2 years, 7 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60981: this was too difficult for me, not a medium quiz imo (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60998: Quite good. It all works, with no 'swaps' I can spot, and some good red herrings for a couple of groups (one very funny). Still a bit unsatisfying that three groups were hidden word links. (2 years, 7 months ago)

ThunderMonk @ #60905: Cheers Spike! Glad you enjoyed it haha (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #593: SCTV? who's ever heard of that (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #32225: Hi. There's a really good grid here, let down by the Garfunkel line. I've googled Simon and The Whale, and all I get is a fairly new pub in NYC. Are you maybe thinking of Simon & The Witch, and conflating it with Jonah & The Whale? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60980: Immensely hard but fair. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60966: Good,and I managed it with more than half a minute to spare, but it doesn't work - vanilla and mignonette can be swapped over, so at least two solutions are valid for the wall. I picked out the mignonette group by spuriously reasoning that they might all be used as names as well your link which doesn't exclude vanilla. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60981: Good, but SOOO many possible answers for the group containing 'red'. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60979: OK, having played your other grid I got the Pink group this time :) Also to nitpick, the name of the band is "The Verve" not just "Verve". Enjoyable grid though! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60982: Good, but there are far too many potentially correct link answers for the category containing 'black'. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60982: Fun grid! Almost got confetti but didn't spot the connection for the Pink group, was kicking myself afterwards (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60930: Too good for me. Thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60976: Top grid but wasn't Xerxes Persian? Still a top grid, thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60947: Nice one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60946: huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh Oh, Supermaaaan! Five stars, thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #10405: This could have been an excellent grid, with great connections. I was wondering how you could cram so many red herrings in without it breaking. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Mister Tom; the solution isn't unique, which is why people are struggling. e.g. put Cook, Haddock, Sturgeon, Palin into each others groups. This is what happens when the red herrings are circular. (2 years, 7 months ago)

PLD @ #60946: Did that in 2 shakes - and looked up that song too, TY (2 years, 7 months ago)

PLD @ #60967: I saw that and thought it was a typo! Will change it. btw, bit of a breezy day for you? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60966: Nice ty (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60967: GordEn, being picky sorry! I enjoyed that (2 years, 7 months ago)

Maggie @ #48: Truly a splendid grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

goom @ #16584: we did all of these and it didnt give it to me :( give me perfect score (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #60904: But, like, were you trying to include all the racist team names? (2 years, 7 months ago)

goom @ #45827: my first fiendish perfect score ;) shoutout lotr (2 years, 7 months ago)

nighttime @ #60892: very well thought out, fun! (2 years, 7 months ago)

JAM @ #60949: Thanks! I'd edited it but then realised it just posted a new version (#60952) rather than amending this one. I can't seem to delete it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

mal @ #60699: Easy ( 28 secs) but very nicely put together, and a bit different to many grids (2 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #60941: Great first grid! I enjoyed your comments in the answers. (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60960: Very satisfying to solve! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Flora @ #60941: Actually I thought it was a good group - not a stretch. Well done. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60954: Well I didn't get any, but I learnt some new words for root veg! 😄 Nearly got the soft drink one, but not sure about Barrier. Are you referring to Barr's? The other's contain brand names but Barr's is a manufacturer. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jane @ #60947: Nice grid, but the answers for the rhyming slang one don’t all relate to the question. You’ve got Ruby Murray in the question but rattle and tank in the answer! (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60935: Jackknife should contain full fruit name - something like 'grapple' would work better (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60949: Needs work on definitions (2 years, 7 months ago)

F91W @ #60941: TY. Got there in the end! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Helen @ #60922: Need to explain more for the group than just bluey (2 years, 7 months ago)

Helen @ #60920: Agree with ace. Also it’s citizen Kane not cane (2 years, 7 months ago)

Helen @ #60920: Agree with ace. Also it’s citizen Kane not cane (2 years, 7 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #40528: nicely themed (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dantisocial @ #60888: Good fun :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #38694: Pun-tastic. . loved it (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60911: This was great, thanks. I like a good contronym... (2 years, 7 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #60687: nice crossovers (2 years, 7 months ago)

Simp Le-ton @ #60936: What is a glass frog? (2 years, 7 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60932: fun! :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60934: Nice. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rustic @ #60930: Delightfully hard. Thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60900: Very good - couldn't sort my last two groups - never knew brave fitted into the group bitbdud, and just didn't spot the Broken link, until I'd used all my lives. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60903: Ok grid. Two obvious groups, with th badly worded links, two a bit harder to spot, but with good links. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60923: Gravy train, not chain. (2 years, 7 months ago)

PLD @ #60879: Some good alternatives there Igor. Neat solutions. TY (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60910: Very high quality grid - Only Connect level. Nice. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60920: Inconsistent capitalisation serves only to confuse, misspelling of everyday words like "Suger" is unacceptable. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Igor @ #60879: Lovely idea for us oldies. Thanks. May I suggest a couple of gentle changes? 'Darn sing wean' -> 'Darn sink wean'; 'Rock sea muse sick' -> 'Rock sea mew sick'; 'Ray moans' -> 'Ram owns'. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #60913: Nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60897: Enjoyable grid thanks. :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60780: Nice and easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60899: Great head scratcher! I got the confetti and was thrilled. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60892: Fun. Good crossovers. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60910: A bit different. Enjoyable. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #46236: I got some weasel eggs for you.... right here! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60905: Excellent grid with brilliant Futurama red herrings 5* whoop whoop :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60890: Good grid, thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60900: Not original sin, - Seven Deadly Sins (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #60878: Thanks. Good level of difficulty, makes you think but 10/10able. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Enzed @ #60896: Please include more generic answers in future- surely "phone" should be enough and not need the brand name (2 years, 7 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60873: Yep, same comment really; there were only 4 people's names so that was easy. (2 years, 7 months ago)

sfumato @ #60824: Wow, that was brutal. Clever though... I got the "sense" group but I thought they were groups of animals (thinking pride of lions, the amazing joke "a crime of men," also tried to rationalize my choice with a war of Wildebeests and a sense of... dolphins? Dunno. Also thought for sure the Michelle group was first ladies' names, but of course Pam and Sadie stuck out. (2 years, 7 months ago)

F91W @ #60890: Super grid. FCOTD. TY. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #60873: I like the animals clue, kicked my self for not seeing it earlier. Died in Memphis is tough, but the fact they're all names is a giveaway (guessed that group straight away, with no idea of the connection). Thanks for sharing! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #60699: A nice grid, but if you know all of the blanks it is a bit on the easy side. Still, good work, thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #60819: Nice grid! In the 'more info' for the detectives, there's a typo: "Rex Stout bools" should read "books". (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60699: Good one. Just nicely testing. I'd much rather do one like this and get it right than frown at an obscure one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60780: Poor. Short pier simply does not fit with the other clues. It's a silly phrase, however much you try to justify it. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #60867: @Jesus So true. Amen (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60806: Good one (2 years, 7 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60892: Great grid, thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60873: Some good cross overs with sins but just having 4 names makes it a bit too easy plus some of the themes have been done a lot (2 years, 7 months ago)

mat @ #60873: Great one, the died in Memphis got me but it was still fun. (2 years, 7 months ago)

sfumato @ #60873: Great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60886: Decent enough grid - bit of confusion but also far from impossible. Would maybe include songs for one of the groups? (2 years, 7 months ago)

ThunderMonk @ #60870: Fair point SC! Think I’d played around with options and then didn’t properly adjust the description after. Edited now, thanks for the feedback. (2 years, 7 months ago)

ELS @ #60879: Great fun quiz - use of vintage made me feel old though 😂 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #60853: Very good. I could have done with a bit longer but that may just be me. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #52898: lol @Trillium I didn't have much of a problem +L+ratioed (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60886: Looks an awful jumble with too many possibilities for the first and second groups I saw. Easie than it seemed, after I gave up on the obvious two groups, and found another, which narrowed things down. Some very obscure entries for two lines, but still enjoyable.v good (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #60813: I came I saw I conquered (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60846: Nice and easy straightforward grid, with red herrings galore 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60879: Different and fun. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

PLD @ #60879: Dare I say, Freddgar, a little easier past a certain age!? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60877: Very good wall. Really tricky, but still logical and doable, really well thought out groups and a couple of good redherrings. Only had 37 seconds and one life left. Feel silly that the radish group connection was the one I didn't spot unti I'd sorted the grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #60853: Nope. Consider your audience. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #60699: Fun (2 years, 7 months ago)

Obama @ #60227: black history month (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60872: Fog is not precipitation. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60855: I tried 'amazement' and 'exclamation' and several other wortds for one category, but nothing from the lost of words you typed. It is a frustration with the system, I acknowledge. Similarly, it required the diaresis for the Agnes Grey group, which I felt unfair. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #52582: Nobody cares about Nicolas Cage (2 years, 7 months ago)

James Swift @ #30596: Nice one! Enjoyed it 👍 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #60867: This was the third grid I tried today, it was so bad that I want it to be my last grid ever (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60846: Very easy. Fun. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #60873: I hate your grid because I can't rate it (2 years, 7 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60853: Really fun quiz, unfortunately some emojis were just boxes so I had to guess a bit, but happy to have got the confetti with 3 secs to spare :)) (2 years, 7 months ago)

gwefa @ #54971: Really clever, nice red herrings (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60859: Horrendously difficult (I got just 1point!), but fair (I should have had all 10). Nice. A well deserved 5*. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ned Lalky @ #60853: Good grid, very creative, however I all I could see was boxes for some of the squares? I ended getting 5/10 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60865: Yes, there is absolutely no way the h in howl could be considered to be silent. Check it with a dictionary if you do not believe us. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #60865: How does howl start with a silent h?? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60853: @edpo think it's the browser rather than the OS. I'm using a Android tablet, with Opera half of the emojis don't work. But with Chrome all are OK, heh ho. (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60859: Nice grid, different sorts of links. Horrible definition for the "Shadow" row. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60853: Sorry to hear that Lindybeige -- I think it depends more on your operating system's emoji support than on your browser, so unfortunately it might not work too well on some systems (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hypatia @ #60853: Nice! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60853: Half the icons were just squares on my screen. I tried it in two browsers and it was the same. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60853: Really good, though I had to restart as some emojis were too small to see clearly on my phone (e.g. the swan was almost invisible on the normal background) without zooming in, which wasted time. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60865: Nice grid, although "howl" doesn't have a silent H (at least not if you talk proper like what I do) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60851: Not great - too many overlaps between groups, and definitions. The idiom group just doesn't hang together. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60849: Very good. Loved all the groups - the synonym group was very sneaky, using different meanings of the same word,the Curter group made me laugh, the Marshall group was the one that leapt out and helped me start to sort the red herrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

maaaaty @ #60859: Enjoyed the hidden Ibis, thank you (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60825: (2 years, 7 months ago)

anthony danton @ #48141: a good grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

chanale @ #60824: Good call, will add- and thanks so much!! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60824: Good one. Really thought I was going to hate the answers of the two groups that beat me, but they actually make good sense and are only slightly obscure. (Oh, you might add novel to the book group answer terms). (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60811: Aye decent grid - thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60829: My apologies on that particular point! I did do research on that but missed Danny La Rue. Have only ever heard the name as rhming slang as that is all a bit before my time! Apologies for that particular point though, thank you. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60829: @SF7 I think you should do some fact-checking yourself. Danny La Rue was a famous female impersonator appearing in a number of movies and West End productions and with regular TV appearances in the 1960s/70s (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #60826: (2 years, 7 months ago)

Colmac @ #60811: Good one. Well thought out. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #60716: Medium (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #37982: Mass and weight are two different things yes, but to suggest they are two different 'concepts' is bizarre. In our atmosphere, because of gravity, any mass will have a weight as weight is a product of mass and gravitational force. (2 years, 7 months ago)

penny @ #37982: not the correct format. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60829: Again, no crossover!! There needs to be some misdirection/red herrings. I sorted all 4 groups again in about 20 seconds because there are some answers that simply have to go together. Also no idea why it's all in capitals and Sphynx is spelt wrong. Also - when you say LaRue you either mean an American christian band who are brother and sister OR you have misspelt LaRoux, who initially was a duo but then went solo and she is a female through and through. So there is both a spelling mistake and a grouping mistake in one. Not hoping to sound too harsh here - but a bit of planning and reseach before a grid and ALWAYS double check spelling as some grids will use deliberate spelling errors as part of their hints and answers. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60809: Again, can't really see any crossover. Managed to sort the groups within 15 seconds just using logic and things that seemed to go together. And from there it was pretty easy to find the themes. Nice enough grid, but I prefer a few red herrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

nighttime @ #60796: @Dave: you are not alone :( (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60791: A big harsh on the scoring, but a lovely grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tee @ #40534: Why don't you show correct answer if we get link wrong (2 years, 7 months ago)

Yuhmom @ #60822: First time playing and loved it! (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60699: Fun, Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60787: Also confetti. Enjoyable, thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60819: @Spikethecat Will do. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #60814: Agreed. Liked it! It looks like you submitted the same grid three times to fix typos. Instead, you can fix a grid with typos by using the puzzle link sent to your email. Keeps things neater. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60787: Suitably fun and tricky. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

urmom42069 @ #60821: titty slap (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60791: Excellent fun grid. Thanks 5* (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60819: Good grid thanks. Please add "caesars" to your emperors group. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60821: "Starts with letter _" can arguably apply to three groups. There should be more differentiation to make sure only one connection is feasible (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60820: Fun grid - thanks for making it challenging and solvable without being too obscure :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

bigmac92402 @ #60821: I would argue on the P one but nice grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60808: Bridle has a suffix, not a prefix. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60809: Really liked this grid. Thanks. And this has been a great one in a sea of recent rubbish. Well done :-) 5* (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60808: happy with a 10! enjoyable thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60816: satisfying (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8374: Another grand grid - thank you 👌👍👏 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8373: Excellent grid. Neat crossovers. Thank you. 👌👍 (2 years, 7 months ago)

Avenger @ #8369: How about some English counties questions? Too US centric - given I had filtered on UK grids this was (another) disappointment - sort it Puzzgrid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60770: No crossover which makes it very easy. Couple of typos as mentioned elsewhere (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60709: Thank you! (2 years, 7 months ago)

dud @ #60644: Good, Caz2 , for caz2 , Montgomery burns is mr burns from the Simpsons. (2 years, 7 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60787: A nice grid to work on when you're tired. Helps your brain to relax. Like Est289, got my confetti! Good game. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Est289 @ #60814: Great grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #60644: Never heard of Montgomery Burns otherwise enjoyed it (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #60796: I'm tremendously confused. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #60808: Good grid, ta. Not too sure about those "homophones" though! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60791: Excellent. (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60787: Ok - but needs crossovers (2 years, 7 months ago)

Sue @ #60796: This grid doesn’t work. Work give answer to last group (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60809: Nice grid. The "Chemical Plant" group was not in my sphere of knowledge, and although I got credit for the "Casablanca" group, I mentally deducted a point, because my answer was not specific enough, and I know VCM would have asked me for more specificity. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60809: Nice grid! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Philip Cooke @ #60809: I enjoyed this one. Difficult enough to make me think but not impossible to do. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jesus @ #47191: Deadnaming? Really? (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60738: "Change the first letter to T and make some word" is too broad. The resulting words should be in the same category. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60797: This grid seems to be broken. Bolivia is in there twice, and it doesn't let me actually finish the puzzle. (2 years, 7 months ago)

edpo @ #60806: Delicious! (2 years, 7 months ago)

dud @ #60690: Lots on numbers, Mad one. not bad not great. (2 years, 7 months ago)

dud @ #60804: Liked this one, not too obvious, not stupidly hard and nonsensical. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Sparked @ #60386: The acronyms seem random and the lion king one is a bit of a weird one. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Super Tom G @ #60795: Too easy xx (2 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #60699: Great grid, not too difficult. (2 years, 7 months ago)

freddgar @ #60797: The Uganda row has no explanation - national birds ? The Mali row doesn't reveal an answer. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #60791: Very enjoyable (2 years, 7 months ago)

ThunderMonk @ #60784: Very enjoyable, thanks - great grid! One suggestion to adjust linking term to “infinit”, as it didn’t accept infinite, but no biggy :) Blink-2 & Sleeping 8 particularly fun. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60754: Funny, I figured Triumph models would be one of the groups, but the only one I knew of was the red herring. Knowing nothing of planes or sportscars, I ended up with only a 3 (1 group, 2 connections). High quality puzzle, but difficult for my knowledge set. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mrsbusman @ #60784: We loved this one! (2 years, 7 months ago)

GBRA @ #60386: also the lion king one sucks (2 years, 7 months ago)

GBRA @ #60386: acronyms are beyond poor (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mistet Tom @ #60756: It was probably doable in the time, but I needed to go to bed earlier first. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mistet Tom @ #60754: ... so of course I put Aircraft. Can't win them all! Too young to remember Triumph, but got it resolved . Thx for setting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #60790: Wondering if a Indie Rock band would consider themselves a Boy Band (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60754: Fighters and planes were in the definitions, aeroplane is now included, searching synonyms for monsoon include all the other rain definitions that are on the grid. Either way thanks for the positive comments (2 years, 7 months ago)

Est289 @ #60787: Brilliant grid! I got my confetti! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #60754: superb grid. many crossovers loved it - well done (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #60699: nice concept - very easy though - no red herrings / crossovers (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60756: thumbs up, superlative grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60754: Monsoon is a wind, not a type of rain (@Jane: Also Plane and Fighter were not recognised.) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60786: Aussie Aussie Aussie (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60756: Clever, but pretty much impossible to solve in 3 minutes. Still only got one group after a reload. Well done, cheers. (2 years, 7 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #60756: Always excellent (2 years, 7 months ago)

paul @ #60734: Great! (X is the symbol on close buttons on computer; times means multiplication) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #60699: The Wars of the Roses (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #60733: Would not accept tea (2 years, 7 months ago)

Jane @ #60754: Excellent grid, but sad that I didn’t get full points because the word “aeroplane” wasn’t recognised. “Airplane” is an Americanism. You should at least allow both! (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60770: Enjoyable and do-able. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60754: You're not alone Freddgar - my second car was a Triumph Herald (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dark Horse @ #60699: Great. (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60769: 2 typos - Brasila should be Brasilia and Guiness should be Guinness. Otherwise you spend a long time looking for other "one letter missing" things. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dark Horse @ #60770: Did not accept racism for the racist group (2 years, 7 months ago)

nush @ #60759: it was a good grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

balm back @ #42213: get em claire & "all terms" = synonyms (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60770: Very good, solved the wall, couldn't get the Lane line. Couple of typos ? Should be Brasilia and Guinness. You win 10/7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60754: Nice and easy straightforward grid. Learned in a Toledo (showing my age) 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60754: Great grid! Nuked in 52s flat, but some very good connections there and some red herrings which confused me until I sorted a couple other groups out. Thanks for the sport! (2 years, 7 months ago)

F91W @ #60754: TY. Tricky, but we got there! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dark Horse @ #60756: Prime Ministers. Again. Sigh. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Stephan @ #60730: agreed. even though you are going for a meta anagram. (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #515: understand is a synonym for know (2 years, 7 months ago)

RDRDNGHD @ #60709: In space no one can hear you spill the tea. (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60756: Do-able but you need a lot longer than 3 minutes (2 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #38439: My favourite one yet - loved that I knew Aubrey was Boycie's real name (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60755: While I got the group contain "covenant", it does not really belong in the stated category. The group containing "baboon", which I also got, was a bit loosey-goosey (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #60740: Excellent grid. Kombat did for me, I’m afraid. Thank you Sam (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #13910: Very good - liked the k one (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #43309: Nice grid, not too difficult. (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #37981: A bit easy - ii one is too obvious - but ok. (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #25020: Good, if you are aware of classical references. Liked the hippocampus red herring - had to blip around the five to get the right combination. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #33156: Very easy, but the "spider" group has been done to death. Seen it in so many grids (2 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #55969: Enjoyable grid, not too difficult, prime group is nice one (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60762: Good, but please edit to accept 'magic' as well as 'mythical'. (2 years, 7 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60756: Excellent grid - thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #60699: pretty easy - grid of the week? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #27778: It's "dOrmouse", not "dOOrmouse"....sorry to be picky:-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60729: Good crossovers, not too easy but still doable. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rowena @ #60687: Nice! (2 years, 7 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60613: fun thanks :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60737: Confetti for me in 27 seconds. Still, a very nicely constructed puzzle. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60729: Nice. Got hit by a couple of those red herrings (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60734: Thanks, I'd got the Close one, but Times made me groan out loud. Well done sir. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60734: @Ace - I've added explanations. Cheers. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60733: Very clever, even though the anagram meta-link only becomes clear after the event. Could use more red herrings to get it out of the Easy grade. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60730: Link words should be as short as possible. Do not require the guesser to type plurals. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60734: Not bad, but could use more explanations. No idea what X has to do with Close or Times. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #60637: "ADD N" should be acceptable? (2 years, 7 months ago)

bombaymixie @ #60699: I couldn't guess the words but i got all the links...aghhh this was such a good grid, well done! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #60641: Pizza should be acceptable? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bathfood @ #49709: Really fun to do thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #60712: Nice grid. 10/10 but I got lucky on a couple of the groups. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ace @ #60744: Two groups based on some obscure game, TV show, Anime, whatever. And I could just about accept Jo as a girl's name, but Cara? Must try harder. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #60729: Nice one. Thanks Sam (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #60650: Well, let's not be too hard on Sanity. Clearly, someone stole their candy, kicked their puppy, and lied about it on national television. Or something like that. A so-so puzzgrid might've triggered me in that situation, too. Anyway, all notes taken on the Olympics grouping (funny the way opinions were scattered on that one). I'll work on getting the links tighter. Thanks for the feedback! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60719: Tricky. Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Michael Steel @ #54971: great fun (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60728: @Plod - Go Pies. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #60728: You forgot Hawker! : O (2 years, 7 months ago)

Michael Steel @ #41311: quite easy for a fiendish (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60719: Let down by poor link terms and descriptions. "Form"? (2 years, 7 months ago)

haywood @ #60721: pretty good (2 years, 7 months ago)

nighttime @ #60245: don't understand the Z, G, P, R ? (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60713: @D.Ceeving how do you mean? If there are any answers that are confusing you, you may Google it, or ask me, but they are all absolutely valid connections. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60715: Loved this grid. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60699: Fun easy thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60709: Very enjoyable fun grid with lots of crossovers. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #60699: Fabulous (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60677: No reason apparently (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60678: I thought it was Jerry? No worries eh? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60679: Fell for Michelangelo herring, hook line and sinker. Grt (2 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #60687: Very nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60599: Synonyms for Lost lost you marks. I thought they were poor. And who is going to know last words of Shakespeare? (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60637: Nice (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60713: Topics don't make much sense (2 years, 7 months ago)

Linda @ #60691: Good grid but for northern states should accept 'border canada'? (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60703: great quiz - thank you so much :) All the best (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60681: Wow. That was tough. I got none of the groups during the round, although I did get three of the connections. Nice amount of read herrings. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60709: Neatly done (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60708: Good grid,but one line had just about the most obscure things that could fit into it , which made sorting through the red herrings almost impossible. Loved the obvious group, which turned out not to be a group. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60699: Nice idea but a little on the easy side - full marks in less than 30 seconds (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60691: Nice and easy, would maybe include Marvel as an accepted term (2 years, 7 months ago)

starfairy @ #60688: Happy little grid:) (2 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #60687: good one (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60699: Fairly easy confetti but refreshingly different (2 years, 7 months ago)

Css @ #60701: A fun grid, but not a fan of categories as specific as the Johnny English one. Good otherwise! (2 years, 7 months ago)

David M @ #60704: Not a fan of this one, without spoilers there were far too many alternative reasons for these animal groupings that work. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Css @ #60699: An easy one but a really enjoyable one. Full marks and a fun little grid (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60520: cheers for this - a lot of fun! (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60526: great fun - cheers! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Nikki @ #60593: Ha! Thanks for the points! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60699: Nice and easy, but different grid. Well done, good work, enjoyed it. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60689: Excellent. 'pride' seemed a bit of a cheat but I still finished the grid, got that link,and enjoyed the wordplay. (2 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #60685: Christopher Marlowe with an e (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60661: There is a 'Frozen' film that is released in 2010. I didn't realise it wasn't the well known one . (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60657: in the explanations you have hake coming from drab, may want to change that to dab, but otherwise good fun, thank you! (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60687: enjoyed the toy red herrings - great fun, cheers! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60673: Very good, maybe allow draught ? You win 10/7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60691: nice and relaxing - cheers :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60671: the spoon group evaded me - was still fun, thank you! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Ant @ #60687: Very entertaining, liked this a lot. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60679: The M row did for me, got the rest Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60691: Nice an easy straightforward grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Marco Janssen @ #60691: 3 correct gambles and guesses :D (2 years, 7 months ago)

Kumquat @ #60658: Lovely! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60684: Great, just too much to sort in the time. I saw three links straight away, just couldn't sort the last two groups out in the time. Got all four after the wall sorted itself. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Baron @ #60658: @hamburger Whoops! A late edit that didn't get changed in the answers. Thanks (Still doesn't make it impossible though, it's still 4 fish!) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60678: Didn't get the Bruce row Gerry = Russia ? Think you mean Germany You win 10/7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60688: Nice. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60650: If I'm honest - I'm not a huge fan of the grid as some the links feel a bit forced (to have 3 medals that feature in pretty much every competition and then the very specific mascot from one specific Olympics is a bizarre grouping imo) - but that comment from Sanity is... well its insane. Whoever you are - I hope you're okay! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60685: I only got 7. Can't believe I couldn't spot the connection for the Table group. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60685: Pretty easy but only got 7/10 because for the group of birds, you dont seen to accept the word bird?! Maybe widen the terms accepted. Other than that good effort on the grid. (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60679: Really liked this. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #60678: L, I was thinking of the other grid - sorry you meant nip, short for nippon? ALL of those names were like insults - it was war time - they were the enemy of each other. None would be used now - it is meant in historical context. (2 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #60653: @Hannah G Fair enough - I stand corrected! :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60687: Great - tricky. Got two lines and three links. Just couldn't see the Snake connection. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #60678: samurai? I thought they were considered nobility? Unless you mean something else. Unintended-apologies. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60670: Had to restart - so many tricky hidden/ wordplay groups, I needed longer to see what was there. Loved 'coles', and the red herrings for that line. Not sure 'corporate' works properly in its group - can't describe why without giving away the link, and the other clues in the group. (2 years, 7 months ago)

L @ #60678: Hey, the word you used to refer to "Japanese soldier" is considered a slur. The rest of the grid was good; maybe find another word for that category? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Hannah G @ #60653: Thanks for the feedback - I did mistakenly put colonel punishment instead of corporal punishment in the description. resister however is a word - it describes someone who resists government policies (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bindipper @ #60650: Bit OTT Sanity? why bother writing in the reason? It's in your head anyway and your performance isn't being viewed by the country. I have more of a problem with whether the Panda group is so open that the solution could be considered "non-unique". (2 years, 7 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60673: One group's a bit odd, I ain't never heard anyone use that word to mean "strike from above". That's a hit... 7/10 (2 years, 7 months ago)

starfairy @ #60679: Ditto. Extra good at the end trying to work out those last difficult ones. Ty (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60640: Good grid. TY (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60652: Fun thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Rys @ #60650: @sanity wow. Churl? Lame? Ego? I have another word. Projection. Or did the grid mark you wrong and you lost the $1000 puz tournament? Well it cant be that so projection then. Now hush (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60678: Thrilled to get confetti on one of your grids. Thanks! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60679: Great, tricky grid. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60675: I'm such an idiot. I never put Turkey in the right group. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60650: @sanity Disagree with you strongly. How exactly would you propose they do so so that it will not result in false positives or false negatives? I (2 years, 7 months ago)

Sombo @ #60676: Super thinky! Love! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60659: Great grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60667: My kinda grid. Thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60661: Overall good grid. Frozen was released in 2013 BTW, so I got that group wrong. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60671: Fun - thanks :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60676: Good red herrings - thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

Sanity @ #60650: It’s churlish that you chose to code the compound word animals answer in a way that makes it more likely to be found wrong and even more lame that you excuse yourself by telling others they shouldn’t care. Glad your ego is more important than player fun. (2 years, 7 months ago)

liam @ #30596: please read other books (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60641: thought the red herrings were good, thank you! (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60645: didnt get the cryptocurencies link ! (guessed characters in Zelda which was a total stab in the dark). and i really enjoyed the sun/star red herring, got caught on that for a little while before I switched tack - lot of fun, thank you! (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60646: Think one of the groups (i.e Richard, Chris, James, Jeremy) was too easy to get even if you don't know the connection given the rest of the grid. Otherwise a lot of fun (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60655: Really enjoyed this! (2 years, 7 months ago)

socrates @ #60659: Great fun! Enjoyed the amount of crossovers (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60656: Zzzz, Zzzz (2 years, 7 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60659: Really enjoyable thanks, glad to have got the confetti :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #60659: the religious one can also be one of those connections where each word can be split into two separate words. (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60662: Ok - but needs more crossovers (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60659: Great. I only just got Rabbit into the right group before I ran out of lives. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60652: Nice and simple. Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60653: Great ideas. Shame rank wasn't accepted as an answer. @SF7 - the misspelling of resistor is what gave that group away for me. It was like an extra clue to look for hidden words. I find it annoying when words are misspelled and and it turns out it's just because the setter can't spell, they're using a word that doesn't exist as an actual answer, and I waste time looking for hidden words. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tyvent @ #60593: @felix My original strategy didn't work out and I ended up with this frustrating monstrosity, so I figured I better make sure I give players a chuckle, at least. Glad that worked. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Kessie @ #60638: Managed to sort the grid but confused by the misspelling of satellite - kept thinking it must be a hidden word or anagram! (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60569: Really nicely constructed. Confetti for me! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Est289 @ #60599: Thanks for submitting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60555: The category including Ely I got wrong, because I saw the link that was more specific. They all have cathedrals. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60554: The difficult thing about getting this grid to work was the link terms. It is possible to get a 'correct' response despite not really understanding the distinctions between the groups. Thank you RMP. You are right. Amended. (2 years, 7 months ago)

joe mama @ #60575: beast (2 years, 7 months ago)

kaphc @ #60519: An enjoyable grid, solved it in 15 seconds so I never even noticed the crossovers :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

David M @ #60598: I just did this! (2 years, 7 months ago)

David M @ #60599: Good grid with overlapping red herrings (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60561: Nice one. 10/10 score for me (although VCM would have probably said, "I need something more specific" to me for the group containing "wind"). Fortunately for me, I didn't notice two of the three red herrings until after I had gotten the group (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60611: Quick edit Bab to capitalise the initial letters? (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60606: Don’t be put off making them by negative comments, Cathy. Maybe tighten up on the groups and always start each clue with a capital letter. No matter how good you get you’ll never please everyone on here so feck ‘em. :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

barry womble @ #60604: I loved this - Five stars. I may be alone though! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60608: nice little mental workout (2 years, 7 months ago)

Flora @ #60606: But a good start. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60599: Good, but I have seen this grid before :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #60562: Very good bar the answer about 12 days of Christmas. I got the group, but the answer is too long and therefore difficult to match and get a "Correct!" (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60598: X L ENT (2 years, 7 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60606: Not a good one - categories are too vague and incorrect (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60555: Confetti! Enjoyable . Thanks. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60498: @Bindipper Ah, I see. You are confusing the Ford Motor company, which is the name of the whole company, with the names of the makes of cars, for examples: Mercury Marquis (make Mercury, model Marquis), Jaguar XJ (make Jaguar, model XJ), Lincoln Continental (make Lincoln, model Continental), and Ford Mustang (make Ford, model Mustang). All of the makes of Mercury, Lincoln, Jaguar, and Ford are (/were) owned by the Ford Motor Company. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Claus @ #60383: I didn't enjoy this. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

felix888 @ #60562: enjoyable grid. Thanks (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60517: You're right Mal. I did try. I just couldn't get one home (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60498: Hi #turnip In the Ford group, if they're all Ford makes you'd have a Ford Ford. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #7234: Great fun. Nice groups, good red herrings, but still straightforward enough to solve in a minute and a half . Shame two of the links weren't well worded. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Wolliam @ #60536: Love the 'each' category! Nice :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60531: A great grid to sink into. A few red herrings buried in the 16, but fell into place quite quickly. 10/10 :) (2 years, 7 months ago)

firecrest2 @ #60558: Very quick and easy (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60547: felix888 if it makes you feel any better, I haven't seen Nightmare myself! Just thought it was good for a red herring support. (Google is my friend) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Helen @ #60478: The sausage is a frankfurter not a frankenfurter and in rocky horror it’s frank n furter so neither work as a red herring! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60554: Really enjoyed that. Very difficult to separate the total and partial monochromatic options. I guess a puzz for Film or Movie Buffs. ty (2 years, 7 months ago)

Bill @ #60552: Doesn’t deserve a ‘hard’ classification (2 years, 7 months ago)

Horatio @ #60552: Agree, the Picadilly clue is silly, it isn't some cryptic word association - we only have three minutes! (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60554: "If" should read "If...." (2 years, 7 months ago)

Dogrot @ #60481: Enjoyed it, but I think if they can all be preceded by birthday, then wedding should also be an acceptable answer as that works too (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60549: Very nice! (2 years, 7 months ago)

RMP @ #60552: There is a typo in "Emporer" I think. Piccadilly link is a bit of a stretch. (2 years, 7 months ago)

fez @ #60532: I like it! Good number of red herrings. Unfortunately "Run" and "Walk" are interchangeable here (i.e. "Run" is also a mode of transportation and "Walk" can also be followed by "Way"). (2 years, 7 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60517: Good grid. Nice red herring/false groups. Solved in 2mins.Not too tricky once I'd abandoned one fake line. Would have been more fun if one or two links were general knowledge based, rather than all being 'follow/precede with this word'. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60466: You’re right, Tom. I’ve never done a Spanish lesson in my life. Knew 1 2 3 and looked up all the others to ten. Read it incorrectly. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #59493: Not having heard of a party line Zerstort is something for which I feel quite envious. “In the old days” domestic phones would often share a line so when you picked the phone up you could drop in on a conversation between complete strangers. That was the norm and entirely acceptable. (2 years, 7 months ago)

GaryBlottingpaperface @ #60481: the sour group should accept "tastes". the fact it does not makes this a rubbish grid. 1/10. Utter garbage (2 years, 7 months ago)

Zerstort @ #59493: I've never heard of a sample space, a meeting point, a party line or a complex plane. What is this (2 years, 7 months ago)

Yehuda @ #60498: These were too hard! (2 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #25020: Word muy confusing (2 years, 7 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60499: Easy confetti - Red herrings ? (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #60466: Neuve is wrong - the Spanish for nine is nueve, so that line doesn't work. (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #59482: Too impossible. There are so many ways to organize things that all belong to the same set (2 years, 7 months ago)

turnip @ #60486: Well done. I missed the brown connection, unfortunately. (2 years, 7 months ago)

freddgar @ #60499: Good grid, nice red herrings Agree about the Brown thingy, one of my favourites too 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #60499: Quick and easy, neatly done TY (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60491: Much easier :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

Plod @ #60491: Actually just fixed it, sorry (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60490: Bacon and Idiot reasonable, Bank would not have got, but there is nothing wrong with that, but the anything line was a push too far though. a good concept but I consider it needs a food for thought as it could be anything. (2 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60472: Largely agree with Igor. Number of stars reflects enjoyment rather than quality. My best ever grid technically left Page 1 with only 3 stars while some rubbish has departed with 4. So I wouldn't worry about that. The problem, I think, that people will have with this grid is the absence of an "in". Ones that work best imo are where you can see what the group's will be but you then have to rotate the possibilities to actually nail it. Here also the groups are so "difficult" even if there are red herrings they are going to go undetected. Actually judging its quality becomes difficult as a result :-) (2 years, 7 months ago)

dgms @ #60490: Impossible (2 years, 7 months ago)

Tilly @ #60491: 86 line passed me by, sin round v good, bell was an aaah moment, and was there a reason for two walls? Scorsese's mean maybe (2 years, 7 months ago)

dgms @ #60495: Thank you. I enjoyed all the groups and the variety of different styles of link. I loved the Hoarse line, but wished Hoarse had been in the other group it might have fitted into, because that would have been funny. (2 years, 7 months ago)

Igor @ #60472: OK, JumpyFox. Reasons why your grid may be given a low quality rating... (a) Puzzgrid has no rating for enjoyment and, I think, players give a low Quality rating to puzzles they did not enjoy. There's no way to say "I did not like it but I can see that it is of good quality". (b) Players don't like niche groups. (b1) If you miss that it's a Dutch grid then one group seems niche. Puzzgrid could put the country on the game page rather than just a small flag on the main page. (b2) I think that the Air group is niche - in a good way but others would disagree. (2 years, 7 months ago)

nush @ #60425: it was a good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60406: Well done. (2 years, 8 months ago)

steve @ #60478: frankENfurter?!? why not hotdoggo, bratpittwurst and cumberbatchland then? (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60474: Just right for me! Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #50881: Not a bad grid, managed to get all the groupings and connections, but I would expand some of the group terms you permit. For example, always use the word synonyms. You have two groups of synonyms so I typed it for both of them and it didnt give me either! I think you should accept songs for the power ballads too. I say this as I actually managed to work everything out but it only gave me 4/10! As for the guy Jesus above, his comment makes me think he was not smart enough for this grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60477: enjoyable thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60479: Satisfying without being too hard. thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60466: Great fun, thanks. A whole set of D-Day red herrings...impressive! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #60469: Great fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60468: Dams seem like a bit of a niche interest, unless you are going to just stick to famous ones like aswan. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60469: Earthly is quite common, and it and chance can be used separately, but I'd question Scooby, both because it is very obscure - I've never heard of it - but also because it has a different meaning from the others. They are synonymous with no hope, whereas scooby is no idea. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Eebygum @ #60446: I really enjoyed this one too. A lovely grid. I don’t pay attention to the rankings of others - it tends to depend on how well they have performed!! Worth a try if you’re unsure. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Eebygum @ #60446: I really enjoyed this one too. A lovely grid. I don’t pay attention to the rankings of others - it tends to depend on how well they have performed!! Worth a try if you’re unsure. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pingu @ #60465: Seen pedestrian crossings a fair few times and Greek mythology another chestnut. Nice effort otherwise. (2 years, 8 months ago)

A @ #60469: Also never heard of "haven't got an Earthly" - google references are very sparse (didn't even autocomplete it) so it definitely seems like a dated saying. Still valid though and a good grid either way. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60469: Aye absolutely, rest of the grid was good mate so appreciate that. Just my take on it though as I've enjoyed pretty much all your other grids. Appreciate Ace's comment too so maybe it's just me! (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60469: It’s all fair. I wasn’t that thrilled with the pair of them because they could be seen as too close together but I couldn’t think of anything else and I liked the rest of the grid :-D (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60465: Great grid - some really nice crossovers! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #60469: Haven't got an earthly is not that uncommon, was obvious to me, so I thought the group, and the others, was nicely thought out. Liked the Scooby do red herring. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60469: I googled 'havent got an earthly' as I've never heard of it and it said 'did you mean haven't got an earthly chance?' - maybe a Scotland thing but I've never heard of it and my Google search hadn't either. Like I say, might just be me. It does sounds though like the saying haven't got an earthy is abbreviated from earthly chance so might still be a little confusing. Happy to agree to disagree though (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60470: Nice grid - maybe one to add for gaggle etc might be collective. Maybe just me but that seems to be the proper term for it. Thanks for making a good grid though bud (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60469: I'm not sure what you mean SF7. If you got the Scooby one I assume you're UK based. I thought that might be a hurdle for some. Though they have the same meaning really, 'chance' and 'earthly' can be used separately. They both stand up to a Google search as sayings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BigBoiAndy @ #60470: Thanks for the feedback, now updated! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60469: I found 7 of the points pretty easy which is fine... but the last group. Things you haven't got... Scooby fine, prayer, yeah okay... But then you seem to have split up answer to count as two? I haven't got an earthly doesn't make sense? Normally good grids from you in fairness, but not too keen on splitting one answer across two squares. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60470: Russell's! (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60470: Hi Big 'Un. Nice grid, Sir. Suggest you open up the terms that get the player the points for guessing the links. One of them is difficult to give you without a spoiler but it's the gaggle group. The other is just the singular rather than plural solution for Russel's group. Cheers! (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60409: I answered "insect" for the group "end of the terms contain insects", and it marked it wrong. Not sure how you entered your answer terms, but you should endeavor (as it says in the instructions) to make it as all-inclusive as possible. "insect", not "insects" for example. Devilishly hard, though. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jan Vikan @ #60461: Very bra (2 years, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #60438: Good words, but poor link definitions. Always include 'synonym' for synonym links. Also alternative spellings for words like 'madam'. I don't know what to think about the link for the group including 'Tiger'. The obvious link works fine, and doesn't actually need the more obscure one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

edpo @ #60432: Thanks for the feedback Nighteyes -- in searching my own dusty memory for things to put in grids it's sometimes difficult to gauge how dusty to get :) Key and Peele are quite well-known in the US, and hence also popular on YouTube etc. Bob may not have been widely used but is somewhat notorious in computing history as a precursor to Clippy the Office assistant.

Nighteyes @ #60432: Some of the best grids I have seen have been yours, but not this one. V and access groups were OK, but sway and bob are pretty obscure - I have been using MS products since they began, but never heard of them. And key? If you have to watch some obscure channel like comedy central to be aware of them, then they are pretty niche, no? A good grid uses knowledge one has tucked away in dusty parts of the memory, but not items one cannot be expected to know. When a connection is revealed, I should be saying, "ah, I should have seen that", not, "how could anybody be expected to know that?" (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #271: Gift list? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60366: Enjoyed this, thanks. Didn’t find it easy at all! My excuse is the number of good red herrings/crossovers:) (2 years, 8 months ago)

dgms @ #60352: I found it very tricky, because of all the red herrings, and the different types of clue for the groups, but solved it, after restarting, and thought it was very satisfying. Thank you. Namis was a really horrible clue - no thanks for that one! (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #265: disneyland not accepted as an answer? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #60250: Call me sad-b, because of this horrible puzzgrid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #60381: Roman Blue Herring Cake (2 years, 8 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #60377: That's a wicked grid! Quite a lot of herring in there, and the sauce of most of my difficulty completing it, but success came my way. Ten out of ten for this one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ginny @ #60383: This was a fun grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dogrot @ #60287: Manhattan is the correct spelling, but hey ho (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60345: It is an anagram of Saturn, but it's not an anagram of Neptune. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #60377: Lots of nice red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #60337: Excellent! A real challenge but doable. I felt pleased to have succeeded 10/10! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Huw @ #60345: That's not an anagram of saturn (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #27367: Another lovely wall. Warm and satisfying like a good meal. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60330: @BinDipper exactly the point I was trying to make, but you put it much more eloquently. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pontius Pilate @ #53139: 2000 years and finally someone has realised I was right all along. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60330: Just to say, on YouGov, Scrubs is ranked 299th in terms of popularity of TV shows in the UK (all-time), some way below Fawlty Towers and Doctor Who but ahead of Sex in the City, Ground Force, A Question of Sport and Coronation Street. One person's niche is another person's non-nichey thing. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60330: @Hamburger agree to disagree, I suppose (2 years, 8 months ago)

hes a very naughty boy @ #53139: @jesus you seem to bring little to this community but negativity, maybe more therapy and less puzzgrid is the answer? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60330: I agree with Fred. I like the grid except for that line. @Wordsworth - Niche is not the name of the game, for me anyhow. General knowledge is the key. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #11163: Nah Which US President was called Z? Not a good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jonny @ #60356: There’s a typo in ‘committee’, so the ‘split into two words’ doesn’t work. Apart from that, quite a challenging grid, but enjoyable. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60193: Lovely grid which really played to my strengths, cheers (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60330: Very nice grid – appreciate generous point for the Ayr group even if VCM might not have allowed it! @Fred, I can't imagine you've watched much OC... niche is the name of the game, my friend (2 years, 8 months ago)

guest @ #59685: @Wordsworth Ah, thank you very much! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #53139: Please find another hobby (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60365: Hard but really good, cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60358: Meant to put poetry in but got distracted - its now in (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60066: @York - Yeah that 53280,1 is one for old school nerds. POKE53280,1 was one of the first lines of code a BASIC programmer learned. It was a simple command to change the screen colour. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #60355: Interesting grid, but I don’t agree with the “cocktails” answer. Cassis and Armagnac are not cocktails. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #60363: Very harsh scoring on the Quarterback row. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cazzy @ #60361: Wow! So many red herrings. Got 7/10. Fantastic grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60358: Enjoyed the grid. Thanks. Failed on the teams! Surprised that forms of poetry was not allowed. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #60330: Cox group was too niche (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60191: Charming. Thanks for the confetti (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60337: Fun grid with some lovely red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzer @ #60354: Fun grid, cheers. Suggest capitalising all the words - currently it's quite easy to spot one group (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60350: Kitten group too ambiguous (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60338: one group too obscure (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60337: Good crossovers and topics not obscure - well done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bathfood @ #38326: Flawless. Perfectly judged. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60336: Fairly easy confetti but different (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60351: Sale and Sharks are the same thing, acid will burn not sting, (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60346: Great grid, clear groups, nice red herrings, but no answers that could be swapped. I nearly ran out of time. The T-shirt clue took me ages, as I've not heard of t-shirt in that context. (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60321: enjoyed, thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60328: enjoyed it. Almost got there! Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Miri and Sam @ #60320: Great grid! Love the Taskmaster reference and good red herrings too (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #60344: Challenging one. Man on Fire is a clever red herring and the concept of the group it belongs in is innovative. Kicking myself for not seeing it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #60346: Nice one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Miri and Sam @ #60174: Echidnas are real! Stop this madness (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60336: Nice! A good grid, some decent crossover, a little on the easy side but there's nothing wrong with that. Good job! (2 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #60336: Why do most grids that have numbers include adele albums? (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60336: Enjoyable. Fair to say it's more a general knowledge quiz than a connecting wall (2 years, 8 months ago)

edpo @ #60337: Excellent grid! Loved the multiple layers of misdirection (2 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #60339: Loved it but fell for a red herring for far too long (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60330: I'm not sure that's a good advert for the ratings system SF7 :-)) (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60328: Thank you Flora - a challenging one! Never sure about the connections that mix beginnings and endings. I think they should be one or the other but maybe that's just SF7 and me :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60330: Full marks in 30 seconds AND a reference to Scrubs which is my favourite show of all time so this gets full marks from me!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60328: Not a fan of having a group where the answer is a word at the start or the end of a word... it should be one or the other. Also wainscot seems incredibly obscure, but that might just be for me. Bonn should be Bon. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #60328: Good fun, thanks. But I think “Bonn” should be “Bon”? (2 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #60294: good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

edpo @ #60308: Nice grid, I'm hungry now! (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #226: the assassins won't accept 'assassins' as the correct answer. The golf one won't accept 'golf' as a correct answer, and beech wood is not spelled the same as beach towel. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jnordy @ #60210: Loved it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #60307: Fun! Thx (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jnordy @ #60292: Thanks Bindipper! I've played quite a few like that, it's so much harder than you think to make a grid! Thanks for your feedback :) I will try again in the future! X (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greeny @ #60086: Dreadful (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60292: Your first go? It’s great! Well played. If you’re actively looking for a flaw, and I posted one like this a couple of days ago #60210, there seems to be a group with no red herring. If you spot that one, it creates the 2nd group with no herring and then that makes a third herringless group. So they fall like dominoes. But honestly, top notch start to your new career. :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jnordy @ #60304: You really are a delight aetees (2 years, 8 months ago)

EthelQ @ #60294: Quick and satisfying! thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #60295: really awful grid. So rubbish. I give it one out of ten and that is only because you spelled Oscar correctly (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60303: Nice set of red herrings, well done 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #60300: Little Mix red herring was glorious! (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60250: As the other commenters have said. Adding simply "alphabet" as a correct response for that group would have helped (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60271: Devilishly hard. My only quibble is that you should capitalize the first word of all the entries (as the style guide states, and is traditional with Only Connect) (2 years, 8 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #60300: I was a Little Mixed up at the start, but got a solid 6/10... really nice grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Felix888 @ #19317: Good one. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #60291: Tricky. And Excellent. (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60277: Nice mix of red herrings. I got it rapidly, but still, a nice grid. Look forward to seeing more from you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60278: *may be more a me thing.... (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60278: Liked the Che red herring for SNL players. I put him in every single time! So, while I got the -SS connection in the end, missed it during the round as well as missing the SNL group. Not too fond of the arm one, because it can precede or follow, but that may a me thing than a you thing. Well done. (2 years, 8 months ago)

IanB @ #60288: It's protractor, not er (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60227: The lack of overlaps made this too easy. For example, club spade heart diamond? What other possible things could fit in this category? So even if you intended diamond as a red herring, this group was easy to pull out. Your other recent board was trickier. (2 years, 8 months ago)

eric @ #60258: So athletes is wrong for Clue 1 is it?????????? i suspect if you told Usain Bolt he was no athlete he may beg to differ. As it is i beg to differ with the duffer who set this grid - yes they are all 100m Olympic Gold winners they are also all athletes, left handed and all dress to the left...... (2 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #60268: Good point. Graham changed. Hopefully that fixes both issues (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60277: Fun grid. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60285: Me too (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #60285: Well I liked it (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60268: 2 issues for me. I think it's Graeme Garden, not Graham. Sounds pedantic maybe but it makes it very hard to solve (unless there IS a Graham Garden in which case I apologise). But secondly Graham and Savage are interchangeable and, despite the other commentator it does ruin it. They were my final two groups and there is no way to distinguish between Fred Graham, Fred Savage, Graham/Graeme Garden and Savage Garden. Both groups have five possible answers and both would work so I think that does ruin it a bit. Happy to be proven wrong of course!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #60286: This was infuriatingly hard. Well done. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60284: Enjoyable, thank you! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #60228: Nice one. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

eric @ #60269: once again marked wrong for correct answers, Ecclesiastical positions is correct for clue one, politicians is correct for clue four. (2 years, 8 months ago)

GusTheFox @ #60268: That doesn’t spoil it. That is a perfect example of a red herring (2 years, 8 months ago)

eric @ #60276: how, on planet Earth, can planets be marked incorrect for clue 3????? just because it wasnt the one Kopology was thinking of doesnt make it wrong.......... (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60276: This doesn't work as there are 2 planets that can also go in the god grouping. I was left with the 8 planets at the end and trying to pick the 4 gods out of 6 possible answers is literally just guess work. It's tough when designing these because crossover is key to a good grid but just need to make sure that there is only one solution (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60281: Decent grid - have never seen scott pilgrim so that cost me! Good work :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Geraint Jones @ #60273: Enjoyed that. Man United fan (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60268: Really great grid. Brilliant ideas, great links and fun redherrings, but Graham and one other answer from that group could be swapped with Savage from another group, which spoils it a little. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60276: The grid doesn't work Two groups were really good, but the gods and planets groups had seven completely interchangeable answers, meaning multiple, equally valid valid solutions to the wall exist, and the whole grid doesn't work It's a shame - if you'd divided them into the groups Neptune, Uranus, Mercury,Earth , and Jupiter,Mars,Venus,Saturn, you could have had a 'planets with chemical elements named after them' group, and a 'planets/gods' group, which would have worked and been interesting.

Spikethecat @ #60259: Excellent grid. Thanks. Boy, almost everything was a guard! Well done :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Johnathan Appleberry @ #60261: A splendid brief (2 years, 8 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #60261: Enjoyed this grid, Eoin is spelt incorrectly though (2 years, 8 months ago)

Corvus @ #60260: The 'Wally the Walrus' group is basically just 'four places close to the British Isles. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Corvus @ #60261: Eoin Morgan not Eion Morgan. Left me guessing what is was a typo for and settled on it being Elon Musk. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60261: More politicians ! - Pet group is very weak (2 years, 8 months ago)

mat @ #60250: Disappointed that NATO wasn't a correct answer for the NATO phonetic Alphabet, but overall it was fun and clever, lots of good red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #60251: Sometimes the rain falls down in June, sometimes the sun goes round the moon etc. etc. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60247: Good grid. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60249: Good grid. Liked the crossovers and some of the niche knowledge. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #60251: Easy (2 years, 8 months ago)

Foolee @ #60252: Challenging but really fun. Thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #60251: this puzzle changed the course of my life forever, i love you SAD-A!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #59535: I like the theme, I think "good days", and the loan words ("champagne, oregano, and pizza") are a bit of a stretch for their categories, though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #60248: Some of the categories are not consistent, e.g. flour is different than flower, and day can go either before or after the words in that category (rather than all after). (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #165: Matt Monro (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60242: Sidewinder, not Sidewinner. Cottonmouth, not Cottenmouth. I'm not being pedantic - sometimes the spellings (or "mis-spellings) are part of the link. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cristobal @ #60232: It's Gordons, not Gordans. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #60239: As a la italian myself, I feel honoured to be represented by this grid. What a swegalicoius poggers gaming moment (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bigjugzloz @ #60183: Very well made, red herrings galore. Very sexy pizzgrid maker, met him at a local puzzgrid meet-up. (2 years, 8 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60236: Really enjoyed the grid, thanks, but putting the answers in although I knew what the connections were didn't really work. Perhaps give more options for describing the groups? (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60214: Hi York. It’s not that Chess is in two groups, it’s that, for example, Monopoly pieces are a thing. They are referred to as pieces or sometimes as tokens. So ‘chess’ and ‘monopoly’ can swap places. This means there are two correct answers (a non-unique grid). It’s so easy to do it when you’re making these things. I’m worried about my newest entry because it looks that there might be more than one solution even though I can’t find it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Israel @ #60198: Please make “Fruit” a valid answer (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60222: Really liked this one! Full marks always makes me like them more! (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60212: Nice one. A pedant writes: Doritos aren't made of potatoes and aren't crisps :) I like the Doctor Who one, the Jo Martin was sneaky! Why shouldn't we metnion Bruno BTW, I don't get that one (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60223: Maybe synonyms rather than just synonym should be an accepted answer :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60214: I genuinely don't get the issue with Chess being in two groups. Isn't that the whole point of red herrings/crossovers? What am I missing? :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60223: Very good grid, particularly liked the Tweet row. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: I think that was put to Ginger, Roc, but she declined. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60193: Enjoyed that and thanks for the detailed explanations, which in the case of the Mother group I certainly needed! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #60172: Entertaining as always, BD, thanks. Once I’d decided that Knob couldn’t possibly be a Fred Astaire film I was well set...😎 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mickle @ #60221: Wrong on many levels - Tybalt as well as Macbeth kills and is killed. Macbeth is also a king - and lear etc also die (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60221: My Shakespeare is a very rusty thing Sharpie but I think you may have a non-unique solution there with Hamlet and Macbeth. I thought they both killed and both jossed it at the end. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60210: Long history of them in the UK Tilly but now mainly in the US. Still used in England for defamation cases apparently. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #60210: Solved the wall, - jury new to me [US?] as was the lithic ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60214: Yep BD, crossovers make grids more difficult and interesting right? But I do get your point. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60219: TIL that Europa is not just the name of a moon, but also an asteroid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60193: Nice one Ed. Solved the grid but if I’d stared at the Mother group until next Tuesday I wouldn’t have nailed it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: Neither had I Pam but apparently it was one of the original 6 pieces, retired in 1946 after 11 years service - Monopoly’s first ever retiree. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Trillium @ #60210: Excellent! (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60214: Hi PG. Nah, I think the groups are fine. It’s just that linking word used in the Chess group - it could probably be added to nearly every board game there is and still make sense, even though where you have it is definitely the most common usage. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #60172: I knew the Fred Astaire films, I don't think that's obscure, but never heard of a cannon as a Monopoly token, just got lucky. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pam Douglas @ #60169: nice crossovers (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60210: Thank you. I don’t like it but I spent ages getting it to where it is and I couldn’t think how to improve it. So decided to whack it on and see if anyone could make it better. I like the groups but technically it’s rubbish :-)) (2 years, 8 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60214: Thanks BD for comment. Still learning. I'm enjoying trying different things. Board games is a bit of a dull subject though, I agree. (2 years, 8 months ago)

KG1 @ #60093: Brown and Callaghan are interchangeable, so not a unique solution. A pity because a good grid otherwise. (2 years, 8 months ago)

puzzlegang @ #60202: Some good crossovers. Enjoyed it, thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60214: I think you may have a non-unique grid there PG, with chess interchangeable with all those in the Risk group. Maybe the linking word in the chess group is too common? (2 years, 8 months ago)

jk @ #60210: nice one - totally stumped me! I saw one group far too late, but saw most of the connections once it resolved. loved it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

WrinklyDink @ #55895: I'm with Jesus! Vacation destinations...seriously? (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60205: As a programmer I liked this a lot. I think you could argue that Perl, Ruby, Python and Java belong in a groups as interpreted languages and even C#, Java, Python and VB.Net similarly (although I accept C# is a not open and shut on this). You could also argue Perl is high level too. Anyway, top grid, many thanks. :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60198: You should be consistent with your capitalization (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60203: I think countries that changed name is also a fair answer (2 years, 8 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #60202: Great grid. Thank you :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gizmodo @ #60135: Disagree with the comments that say State should be accepted. The whole point is that California and Florida aren’t a link, and the others are connected by Texas.. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hypatia @ #60135: Too harsh re state (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60204: Thanks Rogue. It beat me. Suggestion: in the caper group you have 3 nouns but one adjective and as a result it doesn’t quite sit properly. Maybe swap out the adjective? (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: You do know that categorisations change depending upon how others have found it, don’t you Dutch? The setter makes a guess; the solvers determine where it goes from there. Perhaps if you posted one or two of your own this would become clear? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #60172: DutchAndWorried, Fred Astaire films really aren’t “obscure” or “weird”. I thought it was a pretty straightforward connection. Just because you don’t know about something doesn’t mean the grid is bad; if you’re going to have a hissy fit every time you don’t get an answer, maybe this game isn’t for you? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60176: This grid was an enjoyable grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60119: 8/10 would grid again (2 years, 8 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60086: All in all, a splendid grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Julia De’Marciletto @ #60183: Pretty basic grid tbh (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #60172: Please let me assure you that I am neither intellectually vacuous, nor do I appreciate others being told not to pay attention to me. You categorised that grid as "medium". It might have been medium for you, but not everyone has the ability to spot weird stuff like that. I shall avoid your grids like the plague in future, if only to avoid being treated like a thicko. Categorise your grids better next time. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #60164: Now, this is what a medium grid is *supposed* to look like! :) 10/10, 5* (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #60172: Great grid, and I got the Fred Astaire connections no problem; it wasn’t obscure at all. I think some people just can’t stand it when they get a subject they don’t know much about (like me with any grids including Pokémon characters😁). (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: Yes you’re right. Saying Fred Astaire was in those productions is not enough. I humbly apologise. The real mystery though is why the frick anyone puts the effort in to make these things given the state of some of the comments. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #60172: But to keep you sweet, if that is remotely possible… In The Towering Inferno Fred played a con-man. In Daddy Long Legs he played an American millionaire holidaying in France. In Carefree, he’s a psychiatrist and in Blue Skies he, rather weirdly, plays a dancing sensation. I hope that your life is now back on an even keel, Dutch. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #60172: [[SPOILER ALERT!!!]] Fred Astaire MIGHT have done his bit in those things, but that's just about as vague as it could possibly be. What was his bit? What happened?

spikethecat @ #59956: Good grid. Got homonyms and homophones mixed up *slap* Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

spikethecat @ #60044: Too much of a stretch with some of these. Love your grids normally. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #59818: Enjoyed... especially the Marley group. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #59854: Likee! Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #59975: Enjoyed this, I liked your choices. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60106: Good one! Thanks. Even though I did not do very well. (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60086: Enjoyed it. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #59859: Very good. I liked this one a lot :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60091: Agree with @aetees - pokemon professors are also trees Liked the George Lucas group - thumbs up (2 years, 8 months ago)

felix888 @ #60123: Thanks. Found it tricky! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kyler @ #60118: Singapore is misspelt. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60070: Thanks. I enjoyed it. Fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60061: Fun. Thanks. Please include "hidden drinks" rather than just alcohol. Thanks for being creative and posting! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60087: Clever. Liked it. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60081: Easy, fun grid. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60112: Excellent grid, some nice red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60103: Thanks. Solved it. Had to think, but the clues were there. Well done. Great grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60105: Good grid - thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60109: Good grid. Thank you. Got it easily but made me think (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #60119: Thanks - easy and fun. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annie S @ #60112: Good grid. Needed some specific knowledge, but got there 10/10 Thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Eebygum @ #59604: Love this! Tricky, but with great connections. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #60088: Nice ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #60068: Slap accepted (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59685: Pardon me. Derived from a German dye, with a French name. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59685: @guest Sorry for the delay. Saxe is a shade of grey-blue, derived from the name for a French dye. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60106: Unsatisfying. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #59982: Very good, but not quite perfect. Mini is a model, not a manufacturer. Still, an excellent grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

dgms @ #60076: Thank you! That was fun, and weirdly easier than it looked at first. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60031: Not to me B - it was my first group. The hard one was David Cross. If you don't happen to have watched that program (like me) then you'probably never heard of him. Overall an excellent grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60031: Not to me - it was my first group. The hard one was David Cross. If you don't happen to have watched that program (like me) then you'probably never heard of him. Overall an excellent grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60098: Good except for the par group. That is too niche. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60106: The best wall I have seen for months. Superb. Difficult, yes - I only got four - but fair nevertheless. I could, and should, have got them all. And very little time was wasted on pointless red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60086: Pretty good, very easy, some red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60103: Nice and easy straightforward grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60105: Nice an easy straightforward grid. Couple of red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

stop @ #59175: stop. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #60104: This was the best PuzzGrid I've ever played and the categories were so clever!!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #60103: Nice. Just enough crossover to keep it interesting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #60061: +1 for disliking "winery", the hidden word categories are much better when all words are just syntactically hidden in something that isn't semantically related. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #60103: Not too tricky but great fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

mm @ #59999: literally no correlation (2 years, 8 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #60087: *applauds* VERY good! I set one using all seven Narnia titles, and this one still caught me out! My hat off to you, sir! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #60086: awful grid. I did not enjoy this one at all. minus twelve out of ten thousand is my score (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pingu @ #60086: Easiest grid I've done in ages. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #60091: The pokemon group are also all trees. That is an acceptable answer. This is a terrible grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #60093: Nice one. Could do with adding a few more terms into your answers. Common abbreviations like PM, add occupation as well as just job, etc. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60091: The answer to the force group should be, errr, force. Concepts in physics is poor and too nebulous. Also, what is WALLE? Do you mean WALL-E? (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #59936: The anagrams non-group is very cute. I had it first, then my first real group were the ducks and I hesitated when I had to include teals because there were only three others :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Martin @ #39823: The easy ones are fun. (2 years, 8 months ago)

tposer @ #60087: Loved it. Spent about half the time attempting in vain all the possibilities for the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe group before finally giving up and finding the other connections. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Sue @ #37413: Rubbish if you’ve never read Harry Potter (2 years, 8 months ago)

Julie Anne Tang-Evans @ #60082: (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #60000: Pretty easy grid.. well very easy actually got full marks within 30 seconds. But totally agree that most of your football teams are not actually football teams - they are suffixes for teams. Sounds pedantic but grids are meant to be pedantic as you are looking for exact answers. When you say united for examples that could be Manchester, West Ham, Leeds or Newcastle United off the top of my head (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59963: Totally get it and I use the work kilo meaning kilograms all the time (everyone in Scotland does) but you can't use it in a grid like this I dont think (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60078: The bum connection: ewww (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #60070: Nice, thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60051: Liked this a lot. Not seemingly a typical type of grid, but fun. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #60065: Very nice, got 7/10, thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60071: Good fun. Just solved it. It would have been impossible if the obscurest answers hadn't been in a group with two that really gave it away. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60061: Evil trick, hiding 'wine' in plain sight, so to speak. I didn't think there could be a word hidden in it, so I didn't even look at the other words in the group in that way - it would have been so obvious if I'd just looked. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60061: Love the islands :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60076: Awful to solve- too many Italian/fake Italian words. Managed it and it was quite satisfying though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60063: needs more crossovers (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60070: Needs more crossovers and states group very tenuous (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60061: It might have taken 'hidden drinks' (2 years, 8 months ago)

Movie Buff @ #60068: You warrant a slap. stick for one Roach and 'tother was a producer not director. My type of puzz, really enjoyed it ty. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60051: Thanks for the positive comments - Spelling now correct. (2 years, 8 months ago)

S @ #60075: Such a tight grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60066: I quite liked this, but...there's always a but, would like explanation for why 53280,1 is poke and poke for to search around is a bit tenuous. As is fair for beautiful woman. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60074: Needs no thinking, just need more time. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #60070: (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #60031: Very good grid. What a pleasure. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #60044: The African countries line was great. (2 years, 8 months ago)

koshatnik @ #59973: The decoy group led me down an alley. Brilliant grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60070: No need, it's a good un Got fooled by the Allen row, nice one. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60063: @j - cheers, fixed. (2 years, 8 months ago)

j @ #60063: says drone instead of drake mate (2 years, 8 months ago)

UStralian @ #60070: Fixed it by writing an entirely new grid and replacing the original. This one's a rush job, so again, I apologize (2 years, 8 months ago)

WTF @ #48679: WTF (2 years, 8 months ago)

UStralian @ #60070: My apologies, I know this is a repost. I accidentally pressed back, and there's no way to delete a grid once posted (2 years, 8 months ago)

gary @ #96: Intentionally avoided "story" in description since it's one of the clues. Not well thought out game design. That said, I thought the wings category was good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

UStralian @ #60061: Not bad, but there are better places to hide wine than a winery (2 years, 8 months ago)

CKJ @ #60051: Thanks for something different. You may want to correct spelling of Obama (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60065: @Plod - Yeah (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #60065: Quiet day in Sydney? (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #60009: Nice and quite easy, there is a lot of unambiguous clues to discover what's going on and then it's possible to work out all the remaining clues. (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #60025: Nice wall, quite easy 10/10 but Sue instead of Clyde is top quality trolling that certainly slowed me down :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

quodlibet @ #60025: Tricky1 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #9214: I liked this a lot. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethecat @ #56885: Good grid, thanks. BTW, in Australia, we call them dinner rolls too. Or just rolls ;-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #60060: As a European, I spent a lot of time clicking trying to at least get the right prime ministers group (unsuccessfully, needed about 30 more seconds) as that one was where I correctly felt to be closest. The geography was doable after the groups are revealed, but I was missing too many to have a chance to find the whole group. I had no chance with the universities - Waterloo and UCalgary are the only two I can name. Still a well-written wall but extremely hard for people from around here :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #60025: York and turnip are correct, I have edited the grid. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #57233: Bless you, my child (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #57430: This may be the worst puzzgrid I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot... I am Jesus (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #57734: Know what else is preceded by an element? " HYDROGEN you should never make a quiz again" (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jesus @ #57836: Your puzzgrid is annoying and your parents should feel terrible about raising you (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #60009: L La Lam Lame (2 years, 8 months ago)

BRTTHHTMNHRT @ #59980: I always preferred a sharpshooter over a Boston crab. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #60029: It didn't like 'name change' so no 10 for me (2 years, 8 months ago)

F91W @ #60051: TY. Very satisfying to get confetti. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #60020: Not really - "foremother" is not as well accepted as "forefather". I got 10, but mainly by assuming it was something to do with Beatles. Their compilation and subsequent albums are pretty obscure. (2 years, 8 months ago)

B @ #59979: Clever (2 years, 8 months ago)

B @ #60047: Good red herrings, but SI unit of length was too precise for just measures and the Major group was obscure (2 years, 8 months ago)

B @ #60031: Spaghetti code is a whole lot more obscure than everything else there (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #60031: Good grid. Thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

JB @ #60020: Could also have 'mother' for the step group (2 years, 8 months ago)

drew @ #59993: very good very nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #60051: Excellent grid. One of the best I have seen, Well done. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59946: I don't get this criticism of groups being unique. That's whole point about crossovers and red herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #60020: Managed it with 22 seconds left. Really nice groups, except the wrench line - I never like that as a link. Excellent grid. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #60050: Brilliant grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

dan_gleebits @ #60040: ?? (2 years, 8 months ago)

dan_gleebits @ #60047: very good (2 years, 8 months ago)

dan_gleebits @ #60050: great grid - loads of red herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

dan_gleebits @ #59996: (2 years, 8 months ago)

dan_gleebits @ #59980: good one (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59956: Good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59957: Good grid. I like your overlaps especially. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #60009: Really cool. I was around the mark but couldn't solve it. Cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mostly70sTV @ #59947: I'm a generous tagger (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59980: This is good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #60020: Dog and Pets was all I saw so 7/10 for me (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #59947: I put 70s TV for the ice cream and it gave it to me! (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59977: I put Red Bull, Mclaren, Williams and Ferrari as the connection and it said I was wrong :-/ (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #59996: worst grid I have ever played (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #59700: Monkey bread is a sweet pullapart version of Sally Lund. Monkey suit is slang for a tuxedo. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowena @ #59898: Well constructed . Good grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greg Gibson @ #59957: There's plenty of other things that are red without using a racist and offensive term on a grid, which it is - there's no debate - however this may have been inadvertent - perhaps you could update this? It's not really in the spirit of the game (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60025: Agree with Turnip. I also put give (2 years, 8 months ago)

turnip @ #60025: For out/birth/up/forth, I gave the connection "can be preceded by 'give'", which I think is also legit. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #60025: Great grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60004: @Ace, no leg bye is correct. @Setter. Grrrr, good one with the wicket keepers, I was sure I'd tried that combination. Could see immediately that must be one of the connections. Didn't like the removing T one though ;) (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60005: Yes, I found the same as Ross. I put Town and it says wrong. Good grid, solved with five seconds to spare. (2 years, 8 months ago)

starfairy @ #60009: Got it with 1 second on the clock (Livin' on Tulsa Time. Doh!) So good. Ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

film buff @ #60009: Nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

Benji Inwood @ #59956: Very good! (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #60025: Thank you to Simon for giving me an idea! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #60004: Good grid. Should be By, not Bye. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim G @ #60013: I don't know what you can possibly mean, TBW ;) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59963: Here in Europe (i.e. not necessarily the UK) kilo is well understood to be a unit of weight, and in everyday terms as nothing else. Yes, it's short for kilogram, but the latter term is rarely used in normal language. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #60019: Fruit machine should be an acceptable answer for the slot machine one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elise @ #54971: This one was super fun, nice job! (2 years, 8 months ago)

film buff @ #60008: Kiaugh and strother were the ins - TY! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annie S @ #52280: Thanks for combining the missing vowels round with a wall. Great :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

TBW @ #60013: Enjoyable grid, thanks. A couple of funny red herrings in there, with rim and job! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annie S @ #29189: Loved this. Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gordash @ #60014: Synonyms should be an acceptable answer (2 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #60009: This is impossible, you have no way of getting the sequences other than by sheer luck (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annie S @ #47730: Very clever! Thanks. Please expand the explanation on the Hampstead Ledger group to include full names. Thanks :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59963: @SF7 lol, you're right. Here in Australia we kind of say a kilo of this or that meaning a kilogram, but kilo on it's own could be a measure of many things. (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #60016: Very nice, saw two groups immediately, the other two were stumpers. Well Done! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nimrod Bang @ #59993: Loved this. Lost a lot of time, *convinced* that "change the first letter to an S to get a new word" was a category. (Solar, Soon, Sun, See, Sloth, Slinky) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #60009: Great grid, love this type. Good work. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anvil @ #59980: Tried making the Panther group "black"! Failed! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #8815: Very good. One of those ones where you think oh f**k off and then you think about it and get it. Kudos. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #44919: very hard group (grapefruit) but we typed asofnaoisdgao and it gave it to us so yay? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59956: Lovely grid, thank you. Suggest including "sounds like" and the words they sound like as possible answers for the interrogative group (2 years, 8 months ago)

JB @ #60000: Not really a fan of the city group. Three of them are not football teams, they are suffixes of teams. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Wordsworth @ #59993: Great grid. The red herring for the "Nemo" group confounded me! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #59981: Good friends red herrings. Sneaky. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #59962: Very good. Completed the grid but obviously not cultured enough for Noel Coward. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DBH @ #59996: It's Tawny Owl, not Tawney. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #59979: Very nice idea for a grid, I "Donny" know why I don't think of it! 😎 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kay @ #59980: Wow, I live in Boston and didn't know Pride or Crab! (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59980: Great fun with red herrings all over the place. The eye thingy is an American usage which I have never heard in UK, but I am lucky enough to have lived in both places too so I know some of both dialects. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #58174: Why don't you accept frontmen as an answer? The 1980s part is so wrong is laughable. Hendrix died in 1970 for a start, Kurt Cobain had very little fame until 1991 and Dave Grohl was literally a drummer in that same band and didn't become a front man until even later?! Very bizarre. And why have you used Sting's and Hulk Hogan's ring name but Dwayne Johnson's real name? Dwayne Johnson was not a famous wrestler but The Rock was. If you want to use real name that's cool but you need to be consistent with it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59963: Lol a kilo isnt a weight its a prefix for kilogram. Like the same as kilometre or kilhertz which youve literally used in the grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #59927: Well done, the spread between the years was sufficient to assign the unknown ones by a bit of trial and error. I got 7/10, didn't get 1927. A nice enjoyable grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #59946: The units group should also accept "distance" and "length". There is an ambiguity: both CA and GA can be in both groups (California/Calcium and Georgia/Gallium) so the groups aren't unique. (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #59957: @Hamburger, don't be a jerk. I'm not offended, and it's not about me. I'm just saying that this is a term that should be avoided out of respect. Look up, for example, the Washington Redskins name controversy. OED lists "Red Indian" as offensive and dated. This is a fun puzzle site and nobody here *wants* to be offensive (at least I hope so). When someone uses a racial slur, it's worth pointing it out with the presumption that the author was unaware of it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59960: Best grid ever (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59957: Hold up everybody, somebody was offended. (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #59957: Way too many unclear overlaps. White flag (surrender) vs. red flag (warning sign) vs. black flag (forbidden). White wine vs. red wine. White wedding (traditional) vs. Red wedding (Game of Thrones). Red sea vs. Black sea vs. blue sea. "Red indian" is offensive. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59881: @eric - We don't need to ask ourselves is it bitter or is sweet? Is it a basket or is it a ball? Is it a cow or is it a boy? Is it audio or is it visual? Is it a barn or is it a yard? The combination of the two contradictory meanings collaborate to form a separate meaning. An oxymoron is a consecutive set of words that have contradictory meanings. In many cases they are obvious. However, as there are so many, you might not catch them all. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59881: @eric - When we think of oxymorons, we often think of two-word phrases with seemingly opposite components, like "alone together" or "sweet sorrow." But in some instances, a single word is all it takes. Let’s get this one out of the way. When we learn about oxymorons, bittersweet is often one of the first words given as an example. The word combines two of the five taste sensations, the others being salty, sour, and savory (umami). Whether bitter is really the opposite of sweet on the taste spectrum is arguable, but they are often contrasted since bitter is associated with medicines or some vegetables (like radishes) while sweet is associated with, well, sweets (candy and desserts).

dgms @ #59884: Good ideas - really fiendish, but I'm not sure there's only one way to sort the items into the given groups.

Malcontent @ #59884: Is Fleur a type of flower? I just thought it was the French word for flower. Not knowing it's a type of flower meant I wrote off the the idea of a 'flowers' group, and stopped me solving any of the line (2 years, 8 months ago)

Eddiecrane @ #59812: Very satisfying (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mumlol @ #59826: Stinker (2 years, 8 months ago)

Meh @ #59814: You've spelt Maguire wrong. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Matt @ #41311: Absolutely brilliant. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mumlol @ #59819: Lots of great red herrings. Well done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dogrot @ #59821: @Anvil - Thanks for the feedback. I had thought Pocket and Wrist might also be red herrings, but they evidently didn’t fox you! :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mumlol @ #59820: Very well thought out grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #59821: Very straightforward. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anvil @ #59821: very easy - only one red hering which was palm (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dogrot @ #49709: Was a bit baffled when I started this one, but got there eventually - 10/10. Loved the way this was cleverly themed! (2 years, 8 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #59817: One of the answers doesn't register as correct when entered - the Spin group (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59816: well I liked it (2 years, 8 months ago)

George @ #59767: brill! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59800: Quick one! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59817: That was fun ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowan Williams @ #59816: Carlos Sheen might want a word. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowan Williams @ #59726: 4/10. How did you do? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59800: D.Ceeving - actually - no they are not. The tee is the prepared surface used at the start of the hole, the peg [which can only be used on the tee] is often called a tee peg or peg. FORE! (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #58241: This is exactly how to do an easy grid that is still fun to solve. Well done! (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59805: Way too niche (2 years, 8 months ago)

Vef @ #59811: Bacardi is not a gim (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59800: A peg and a tee are the same thing (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dirtyapples @ #58777: I mean, they are technically fast food restaurants. I didn't want to penalize someone for using restaurant, since it would seem like they know the connection well enough. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59797: Woohoo! 10 out of 10, and confetti! Muy bueno :) Loved this grid very much. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59791: Now edited to correct my spelling (2 years, 8 months ago)

Šumperský retard @ #59725: Vynikajúci grid, veľmi sme sa zabavili. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Julie Anne Tang-Evans @ #59753: I have an issue with one of the groups (red). A bishop isn't 'royal or noble. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59800: ditto Gordash (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59800: Thank you Stephan, I changed my mind and forgot to rectify (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gordash @ #59800: Very tough for anyone not from the UK. The issue is not with the grid, but the text of the solution. Large is still a valid set member, but Laurel and Hardy were given instead of Little and Large. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59796: Enjoyed this, TY! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gordash @ #59747: Nice work. The Kensington set could do with some more acceptable answers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephan @ #59800: Nice grid, but there is a major error in the comedy duos clues. The word Large is given as a clue instead of either Laurel or Hardy. Please edit that. (2 years, 8 months ago)

VCM @ #59800: Nice one (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59748: Synonyms should be a valid answer for the hold group (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59799: What animal is a Goa? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: Google "aunt pronunciation" to learn more. Like I said I don't think it's a problem in the grid, and would expect most people to at least be aware that there are two distinct versions of how it's pronounced. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59797: Yay! My first confetti of the day! Great grid! Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kay @ #59425: Very nice! (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59758: Too many connections of the same speciality. No good if someone's not a fan boi. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #59790: Entered religious buildings for one of the groups and was marked incorrect. That's irritating. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ricky @ #59790: You should probably make 'captain' an acceptable link if you're up for it - but it was otherwise good fun! Never heard of a wat before, so cheers for providing that additional information, and I'm feeling pretty pleased that I was able to work it out by deduction. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59778: I have literally never heard Aunt pronounced as arent, never mind it being the dominant pronunciation. Aunt and Ant are pronounced the same and it has be said that if you are pronouncing it otherwise then that is a localised accent rather than pronouncitation. Feel free to check the dictionary and its phonetic spelling. Appreciate the feedback but definitely don't agree with this particular bit! (2 years, 8 months ago)

QwiziRascal @ #59791: Worked out what you meant but Romanian is spelt wrong which matters quite a lot for the solution! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: "aunt and ant are pronounced the same in most parts of the English speaking world" Not really. When using terms like "most" you need to remember to include countries like India, with approx 125million English speakers, as well as those with English as an official or majority language, most of which (the countries) would favour the normal British English pronunciation. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Michael @ #59397: Perfect 10/10 great grid lots of misleading (2 years, 8 months ago)

Von @ #59790: put in Captain for first and it marked as wrong (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59776: Smallest birds in what category? Surely not the world as that is the bee hummingbird. Similarly for largest? This was too bird orientated, especially for someone who doesn't know birds, better to have a mix of topics IMHO. (2 years, 8 months ago)

I hate Ace @ #59250: Well done. Lovely! (2 years, 8 months ago)

eric @ #59790: Marked incorrect because i described the second link as religious buildings!!!!!!! which is entirely correct - unlike the answer which states that a Wat is a Hindu temple - its BUDDHIST FFS - get your facts right! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mr wibble @ #59790: What a corker nice work (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59778: Can't see why anyone is having problems with the homophones, aunt and ant are pronounced the same in most parts of the English speaking world. Surely even if you speak with a southern English affectation you recognise most people say ant for aunt? Decent enough grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59758: Too niche -I do possess the complete adventures of Sherlock but haven't red it. It needs to be studied before attempting this grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: In much of the English-speaking world Aunt is pronounced more like Aren't that Ant. I think that's what's being alluded to, but honestly I don't see it as a problem. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59778: Not bad - but agree that homophone group is very iffy (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59778: Thanks all. What do you mean that aunt didn't work for you? Happy to edit if necessary. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59768: Never heard the term 'shoegaze' before. Every day's a schoolday. (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59778: Enjoyed but Aunt didn't work for me! Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59783: Thank you GusTheFox - great break during lunch. Got the final connection (scribe) only when I had the other three. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59781: Ace - very true (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59781: ITYM surnames of the Actors, not the Characters. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59778: Nice and simple, the palindromes are all very well-used by now. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59779: Inconsistent capitalisation made the golf group really obvious. And "Pan" doesn't belong with mining per se, consider a slightly broader definition to include it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59778: Really enjoyed this grid! Thank you! (2 years, 8 months ago)

xyldke @ #59776: Nice quiz and especially cool that everything was a bird! I had a really hard time but loads of fun. Unfortunately it seems as though "bird" was accepted as an answer for everything. So although I wrote songbirds I got points for smallest birds. And even though I said "fastest birds" I got points for the largest ones. Ican deduct these points mentally, but maybe it's possible to remove bird from the accepted words and focus on what makes them special. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59773: I would change the nottingham forest group to european cup as that was the name of the competition all those teams won, pre dating the champions league name. Also not too sure on the purpose of it all being backwards, I get it adds to the difficulty but i would usually think it would need to add to some sort of connection - maybe thats just me though! Overall a good grid though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59771: Only got 6 as it didnt accept defenders and heroes - could maybe update the accepted words? Cheers mate - good grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59729: Thought it was good grid - not sure what the other comment is referring to as there was definitely some crossover? (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59752: Really like it - only got 7 as I've never seen Waterloo Road. Great grid, thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59729: Very nice grid. Unlike the other commentator I found several red herrings for the "Seville" row. Just managed to find the right set in time! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59770: Some feedback from me... Make sure you put in some more terms for the groups. I typed in backwards, world cup, languages and countries and didn't give me any! To which you might argue, countries is too vague... Well because there are no other countries on there it's impossible to go even further to mention the 'christianity symbols on flags'. Technically countries is right too. Which brings on to my main point - there needs to be crossover (some answers that could fall in to different categories). There are 4 names on there that are backwards so i clicked them without even reading them. There are 4 countries so there was my next guess. And then 4 first names so that was group 3. I had all 4 groups sorted in less than 20 seconds and that was with barely even reading them. However, there are some really interesting groups there but it's just not difficult at all.. Need to throw in some curveballs! Cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59767: Nice! Good challenge and misdirections/crossovers but just enough (for me anyway) to still get 10/10. Great grid, thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #59696: 2 groups (Q and Wizard groups) are quite niche, and too similar to each other. Other groups are good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59757: Nice ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59746: Very nice! And THAT is how to give the links in the answers :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59746: Nice grid, cunning, took me two reloads, even once I'd spotted three of the group connections. Falls right into my mindset, physics, maths, H2G2, computing. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59746: My mind doesn't work that way, sorry. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jojo @ #59689: This one was clever and a lot of fun. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59747: Decent grid with a few crossovers. Not bad at all. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #59733: Mega who ? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #59397: Far too American (2 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #59746: No idea what the red answers mean (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59736: Good grid .I liked how you used Tenet and Inception to throw me for a minute. I accept they're both quite famous, but .... (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59397: Got the 10 easily enough - needs more crossovers (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59733: Too niche (2 years, 8 months ago)

Claud @ #58153: Spent a little while trying to rack my brain for a category that wasn’t here, because I thought one of the categories was going to be “Princesses” (Jasmine, Daisy, Buttercup) lol! (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59709: Good observation - but nit enjoyable (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59717: Some parts too obscure (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #59703: Very neat grid. Satisfying to get the 10/10 on. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59725: Too obscure (2 years, 8 months ago)

george rabbithead @ #46971: boooooooooooo (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kerry @ #59733: A clue in one group is misleading and inaccurate. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #59731: The sir group is just ludicrously obscure. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59726: Just about sums this one up (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59729: Very good, spotted a couple of red herrings. Pretty straightforward when you work out which ones. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Helen @ #59608: Devious! (2 years, 8 months ago)

guest @ #59725: Nice grid and satisfying to solve. Quite easy once you figure out the pattern, but not every grid has to be hard. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59730: silly nonsense (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59731: Like the categories, but Sir group doesn't work - spellings should be accurate - could be tweaked to be really good (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #2224: agree with other comment - silly categories, could be any number of things - and misspelt "tombone" (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59698: excellent, works well, just enough brain tickling! (agree there's only one way of solving) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59662: "Salut" (as it says in the answers) means Hello. (Small spelling error!) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59702: very odd combination of categories with limited cross over - limited appeal here (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59729: Yep, could use some red herrings :o) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59730: Troll (2 years, 8 months ago)

UStralian @ #59729: Very nice. Gentle difficulty, but a good collection of herrings! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59699: I don't actually like homonyms - they're too easy a cop-out. Even worse in yours, what body part is 'Air' supposed to be? Hair? If so, come on! That doesn't work. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59700: Good grid, though I'd have scored you higher if you hadn't resorted to 'Raising Cane' instead of the correct Cain. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59703: excellent - good range of topics, no pop culture ! (agree about queen) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gordash @ #59729: Thanks. I was on the borderline of calling it Easy rather than Medium, but it is intended to be gettable. There are a few red herrings in there. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59729: Decent grid with relatively difficult but manageable answers. However, each line seems quite self-contained and could perhaps do with some crossovers to make the overall grid a bit tougher. Keep going (2 years, 8 months ago)

misof @ #59703: Nice wall. Agreed with Tommy that Queen feels a bit off, but that's very minor. You may wish to add extra options for some groups, e.g., the alternate spelling "color" for one and "synonym" for another. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59726: Quite funny actually, but don't be a dick! :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gordash @ #59698: Great work. M and Paul have clearly misunderstood the three identical vowels group, Assam only has two. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59698: Great grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #59698: Enjoyable grid but I think M is right. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59719: Wow! Simply too hard for me, Couldn't see any connection between those 16 apparently random words. Couple of things - Reef is in no way an area of water, Wade and Fleet are pretty niche Jameses and the Monopoly line is super-hard with half a clue. Thanks anyway, (2 years, 8 months ago)

Neil Davidson @ #59546: 7/10, countries grouping was fiendish! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59718: Way too niche for me, but thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #59698: Lovely grid. Disagree with M, as far as I can tell there’s only one way the grid works. Thank you Ustralian (2 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #59712: Agree with Tommy... composers a bit niche (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59703: Very good. Lots of crossovers and I liked that there were enough bands to lead me to search for which 4 were included, then there were none - clever! Only thing I didn't like was the Chess line where 3 were hidden, but one (Queen) was just given. I can understand why, but it was the only inconsistent thing in the grid make-up and spoiled it slightly for me, Good one though! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #59711: Brilliant grid. Thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59706: Good grid with some good crossover words. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59705: Nice. Solved it in just over a minute. Loved the Kilpatrick line ( that was the only one I didn't know belonged in it). Wasn't sure the Edison group hung together brilliantly, but it didn't make solving the grid or finding the links impossible. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59700: Excellent, liked the colour row. Well done. Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59699: Air is supposed to be badly-pronounced hair, I guess. Worse though, IMO, is the reversed words group. It can work well if it results in real words, but nonsense ones like these are just annoying. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59698: That was tricky! So many red herrings. Defeated in the end by the Pea line. But fun! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59689: PS Also I really like that people are getting creative with the formula, it keeps things interesting, and this one is hardly out there compared to what gridposters have come up with before. If you think this is convoluted, try one of the cryptic, picture, rebus, emoji or music ones :) Long live puzzgrid in all its forms. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59689: Enjoyed this one, first confetti of the day (after trying a few). With a comfortable amount of time left on the clock, so I don't agree that it is too convoluted, I thought it was a nice idea and the right amount of challenging. I like the ones that are more about finding a clever pattern than about obscure knowledge. Thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #12138: pretty good, but some I wasn't familiar with (old navy?). (2 years, 8 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59664: thanks you guys for the feedback (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #28408: Good one. Once you got the pattern it was not too difficult, but the idea was novel. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #59675: Awesome (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #12924: Good one - enough to make you think without being too obscure (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59641: nice one apart from violet group - don't think that quite works (2 years, 8 months ago)

nush @ #58980: I did it (2 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #58061: Not difficult but nice grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58718: not funny (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59608: very clever (carpet? hmm) but not impossible (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59660: great grid - just in the nick of time (once the penny dropped, but some good red herrings too) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kerry @ #59667: Nice grid, includes a clever category. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59664: Good try! Nearly really good, but a few were iffy and the cryp[tic couple (with backwards or anagrams) made it a bit off for me. Would be great if you try similar again. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59669: You don't add just ING to the word run to make running! You need to accept other synonyms of rotate like e.g. turn as a correct answer. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #59668: You need to accept Gods as correct. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59667: couple of groups too niche - thanks anyway (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59652: Yay, got the lot, didn't expect to but nice. Red herrings aplenty. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59660: Nice and easy, fun to do. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59662: Nice an easy straightforward grid. Some good red herrings too. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #59465: very well done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #59478: ...mum, ...aunt, ...dad, Bro...? Maybe Hasbro or something similar would work better. Nicely done otherwise (2 years, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #59664: Nice.. not too difficult when you get your head around it, but still nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #59651: Very neat! Enjoyed this, thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59652: Well I liked it - - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral? - well plants seemed pretty reasonable to me (2 years, 8 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59654: Paul? - me neither. Sorry but grid revolves around a false group which is discovered straight away. Little more thought needed (2 years, 8 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59664: Bit of fun [!][?] (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #59660: Fun! (2 years, 8 months ago)

FactGuy @ #59635: Yeah, that Goblu group was kind of half-assed if I’m going to be honest. Agloe is “supposed” to be the give away clue to the paper town clue, as it is a reference to the book by John Green with the same title. A paper town is essentially a mountweasel for cities. As for the trap question, perhaps it’s a regional thing, given I am from the US. I’ve heard the term trap house before, but maybe for the UK, it’s not as common. I think the problem with the wall is the lack of red herrings, and one of the groups being to narrow. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Duke of Clarence @ #59650: Malmsey, hah! Solve the wall but was not sure why. There are a couple in the last line [for me] that did not make mush sense [again for me] i.e. fog and art. Thank you mysterious person (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59651: Great! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59652: Caught out with the Ickx! Great grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59654: Great grid! Thanks for posting! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59660: Took me a while to get into it but what a great grid! Thanks for submitting! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #35648: Good one. There may be a SLIGHT claim that the solution is not unique as one might argue you can switch wild and green... but your solution is more solid. I like it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59651: Very nice and satisfying! (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59652: The whole point about lichen is that they are not what you claim the link is. You will have to make the link broader. Also algae are pretty borderline. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59654: Cannot see how Paul fits into its row at all. You really need to give the answers, not just the link. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59628: Nice red herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

quodlibet @ #59493: Wonderful! And the theme was a tasty bonus. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pendragon @ #59524: Ireland was accepted, but not Irish. Not enough alternatives for fairies. (2 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #59628: Uptime is the measurement of how long a system has been continuously operating, without "going down." (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59505: Rather good one. I like them when they're gettable but need plenty of thought. Snuck in with 10s left! (2 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #59652: Very good wall with nice red herrings but solvable (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59654: Would have been good, but the sea creature group is terrible. I still couldn't work out the pau_ one without Google. And mixing one clue as obscure as that with one as broad as fish is really not good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59652: A few good crossovers (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59628: Sorry - not heard of uptime (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59577: Some good ideas. Enjoyed two groups - tungsten lobe and Aldrin. The clues on the wrote Everything I own line were rather messy, and using Spudnik, an obscure, disparaging, unofficial nickname for a mission, instead of Sputnik was just needless - the very open 'space race' connection made the group hard enough to sort. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59617: @Malcontent. I thought the feather clue was pretty good, but tights only works via the Mel Brooks movie title. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59652: Nice grid, quite simple, but note that algae and lichen are actually not plants at all. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59617: Got ten, solved in 1.15, but think the feather line link is rather loose as a connection. Enjoyed the grid and the other three lines though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59506: Miss Rev etc are titles/honourifics, not just cleudo characters (2 years, 8 months ago)

ルー @ #59650: oops wrong flag (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59625: What exactly is a "Gothic novel" when it's at home anyway? (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59511: Net Com Ca Org are what is called top level domains. That should be an acceptable answer. Coal Petroleum etc is not a good group/answer (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowena @ #59563: Fun! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quinton @ #57227: nigger (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59514: Lee, Reed, A mall and flow, you can change first letter to s to make a new word. That group is too ambiguous (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59516: Crockery should be a correct answer for Splatter etc (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59648: Nice and easy straightforward grid. Good red herring set too, well planned trap 😁 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #59634: Maybe add dwelling as an acceptable answer (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59648: Nice one, but the corvids saved me from being fooled by the false group right away. (Bit miffed that 'corvids' didn't give me points for that group.) (2 years, 8 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #59648: Very nice :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59639: Failed on the animals - even though I have a set of hanafuda playing cards... (2 years, 8 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #59642: Good grid. I like the red herring with the Martins. My only criticism is that I feel like the "add an extra s" group is pretty weak. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59645: Sorry to be critical but... the Spanish foods seem more Tex-Mex to me? Also, 'meat', really?? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59642: Another nice one, cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59641: So obvious once I'd found them but almost ran out of time there (maybe I need more coffee). (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59637: The ing group are also simply rhymes of each other, would be better with another non-rhyming one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59635: Great ideas. Don't really understand the Goblu group, though it was the first I sorted - is that the same thing as mountweasel? Never heard of Trap belonging in that group and didn't know quite enough of the Wow answers to separate those two line before using up all my lives, even though I saw the links as soon as the wall appeared. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59628: Thanks for the comments - I was going to use Mark Knopfler instead of Almond but I couldn't spell that either. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59640: Pointless to try this with two or three impossibly obscure answers in all but one group, and red herrings, as well ten words that seem so similar in construction/derivation that it was impossible to make educated guesses, even if you've spotted all the links. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59644: Great, but one of your anagrams is just the word, not the anagram. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #59600: */**** (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59640: Impossible. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzer @ #59638: Nice board. I would suggest subbing "blindness" and "deafness" for "blind" and "deaf" to make all of that group nouns (2 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzer @ #59541: Enjoyed this! Perhaps could be improved slightly by making all the "wales" ones exact synonyms e.g. sea mammal(s), unkind term for heavy (people). (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59628: This is good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59604: Only two groups really worked. 'All to do with...' is a very poor way to link. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59625: @Barry Womble, I don't think so. (2 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #59593: easy but fun (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59628: Brilliant! Now that's more like it. I loved this one, it actually got me to think and gave my brain a good work out. Couple of nice red herrings in there too! 10/10 and a 5 star grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59626: Very good, never heard of the sign one (Googled it after finishing) You learn something new every day. Failed on the Dumb row too 🤔 You win 10-6 Thanks for posting (Psst the lower case was a give away) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #59628: Boffo. A good one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59628: Liked this one, had to think quickly 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59608: its good to see people commenting - albeit negative ones. Most grids go through without a comment. i posted about 70 a couple of years ago (under a different name) and everyone had a number of comments. Now that I can see that people are doing the grids as well as just posting them I'll Post a few decent ones. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59598: Thought one line was incorrect spellings. proffesional = professional plyers = pliers compolsive = compulsive cheater = cheetah (A red herring for a possible animals line) As Cheese says Ace is a court card, not a suit. Also frogs and toads are classed as amphibians not reptiles. (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59598: Hi - I agree with the other comment. I thought one connection was incorrect spellings and spent an agent wondering where the red herring was! (2 years, 8 months ago)

ruby @ #59563: good (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cheese @ #59598: Please edit with correct spellings. Also, "ace" is not a suit - I think you meant hearts (2 years, 8 months ago)

nompatron @ #58980: Very creative board. Despite being a Forster fan, the pairing of nonfictional publication dates with fictional settings threw me off. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59577: Liked that lobe group, ty. (2 years, 8 months ago)

nompatron @ #59275: Incredibly difficult. 1/10 for me (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59563: I am with those who cannot think why phenol would belong in that group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59539: Terrible answer explanations - I still haven't a clue about some of them. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Annelies @ #59481: Not too difficult. But why did you misspell Pythagoras? And another minor quibble - the mathematician/scientist label only really covers half of the 'thinkers' group (Newton and Diophantus were mathematicians, Newton also a scientist and natural philosoper, Plato not a scientist nor a mathematician but a philosopher, as was Pythagoras - he was credited with mathematical discoveries but there is little evidence they were actually made by him).

Gridlington @ #59447: Virginia Wade, Steffi Graff and 2 other more obscure ones. Not one of your best Reggie - and I seek yours out cos they're usually good! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59514: all fine except "urinal" - maybe change this item for another herring?(eg Chiffon) (2 years, 8 months ago)

George the Pilot @ #59540: 6/10, saw the blanket and started laughing. nice choices, thank you (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59534: Got the Sutton group and the Rock group quite quickly. Failed to separate the other 2 groups - should have spotted the links, or just realised there were 4 short and 4 long words. Got all 4 links in the end. Tricky, because of the red herring place names. (2 years, 8 months ago)

dgms @ #59534: I enjoyed it. I didn't solve the whole wall, only two lines, but I saw all the connections once the lines were sorted. I'm not sure it's a 'fiendish' one though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59469: Quite a good grid. Three out of four groups connected, had a little trouble with the states group though. Right thought, wrong direction :) 7/10 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kumquat @ #59509: Hut (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59511: This one needs a severe rethink. Only two out of four groups make any sense, and the other two are worded in such a way that even if you give the right answer, they're going to be marked wrong. Would recommend the writer goes back and edits this grid, or many people will miss out on a full 10/10. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowan Williams @ #59494: More than merely (Almost), I think you'll find! (2 years, 8 months ago)

mat @ #59467: Doggo and Diego feel like a stretch, the other three were good though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #59506: Would have liked a bit more variety in the links - black and white feel a bit too similar. Also, the CAPS LOCK feels a bit shouty! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stu @ #59506: Need to spell Cluedo correctly . . . (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stuart Townsend @ #59492: Fun board! Eric must have been having a bad day...... (2 years, 8 months ago)

Vicky @ #59506: I think there is more than one solution on this one. For a start, you can have a White Russian and a Black Rose (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59484: love it (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #59494: I had two cracks at this that both ended in humiliation - tremendous grid, though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59488: Nice. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59494: I really enjoyed this. Cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #59494: Good one! (2 years, 8 months ago)

DeanDean @ #59493: Very nice! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greg @ #49709: Easy but super super clever (2 years, 8 months ago)

Nathan @ #59492: Hi, Thanks for playing :) To answer your questions: 1. Actors is too broad and not specific enough answer. 2. The lion, the witch and the wardrobe is ONE book in the series The Chronicles of Narnia. It's like saying the Chamber of Secrets is correct for Harry Potter book series etc. 3. Obviously red is not correct (2 years, 8 months ago)

Greg @ #30437: NBA teams was sneaky! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59493: Brilliant grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

eric @ #59492: Shocker - clearly the first connection is also actors...the second connection is also the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe....yet I'm marked wrong, clearly Red is ok for the third connection, as i have a red bassoon which i used to play at the Garbage Red Jazz club many years ago - please check your connections thoroughly before ....... (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephan @ #59495: Sorry, but this is very poorly designed. The connections are tenous at best, and so obscure as to be almost non-existent ... "fill in the blank with and, and change one of the letters in one of the words..." In the one connection that makes the most sense, you have also made an error in that thirteen reasons why is not a movie like the others in that category, but a streaming series. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59495: Ditto, communication is all. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #59489: Agree with Elizabeth, should have some sort of warning ! Waste of 3 minutes (2 years, 8 months ago)

Langers @ #59495: Makes little sense - rawking chair??? You also need to explain the answers - add a word and change a letter in each word to make a phrase??? Sorry! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Langers @ #59456: A good challenging grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #59476: How very aquatic. Too bad about the grid though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #59485: herrings galore, not hard to spot where the setter is from, brrr (2 years, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #59460: The category with 'cars needs some more words. I tried three that were pertinent but they weren't the one you were after. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59483: Nice fiendish clues, but got there in the end. Took me two refreshes to work them all out though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #59478: Brokerage is poor. Otherwise ok (2 years, 8 months ago)

PANOPTES @ #59493: This one has a theme. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58098: as usual I fell down on Potter / pop culture category but a nice straightforward grid apart from that (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59489: The worst type of grid as far as I am concerned - completely dependent on specific knowledge of popular culture - no variety or wit (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59432: good, some nice red herrings but not too tricky (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59469: easy, clean, but acceptable answers need to be widened (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59485: Nice and easy straightforward grid. A red herring or two. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #59346: Right on. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Henrietta @ #59460: Not too bad, but don't use ALL CAPS. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Henrietta @ #59469: Undoubtedly an EASY one, not medium. (2 years, 8 months ago)

jackson @ #41036: very good puzzle, should make more of them (2 years, 8 months ago)

charles @ #41036: very nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

Henrietta @ #59486: Easy enough (I didn't know the Harry Potter one, but Lumos just about saves you from me complaining that you should have allowed first words of Latin phrases). Those sweet treats don't necessarily have to made with apple, though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59424: Clever, but frustrating. New Rochelle too obscure for a Brit. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59428: Super easy :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59429: Been playing guitar since the mid 80s and never knew there was something called a Rosette! Nice one! (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59486: Nice grid! "En passant" is spelt thus, not as you have it. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #59483: Really good challenging grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #59488: Fiendish. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anastase @ #59488: Good grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #59476: Funny grid. Bubbler, sprinkler and clogging references? will have to research those, Welcome to planet weird thank you :-) (2 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #59483: I can tell, slurring my name - lol 10s all round thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pete @ #59346: Very good puzzle, good range of categories (2 years, 8 months ago)

Trrr6 @ #59483: This one is sponsored by Piper Heidsieck : ) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kerrie @ #59434: The top row is synonymous but I got incorrect - also for actors (2 years, 8 months ago)

Vanadius @ #45050: really fun grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

PLD @ #59483: Just a bit of fun! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bob Ross @ #59481: Gucci, Hermes, Armani, Dior. Before they were brands, they were actual surnames of DESIGNERS. (2 years, 8 months ago)

PLD @ #59476: True about bubblers in Australia. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59468: Only diamonds is a suit the rest of it was just messy. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59469: Too obvious, no herrings or even debate, not worthy of someone claiming the name of the site. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cockles @ #59346: Superb, 5* (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59473: One obscure group, two too obvious groups, one reasonable but lack of any herrings. Easy not medium, not well designed. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rys @ #59464: I solved the wall but only guessed one link correctly. What a strange puzzle. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #59425: that was excellent! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Bob Dole @ #59346: That was lovely (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mr.F.96 @ #59465: @Dani, I believe the ranking of difficulty changes based upon user ratings. I originally posted it as “hard,” but it changed based upon other users’ ratings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Antony @ #59468: only diamond is a suit. (2 years, 8 months ago)

BurntToast @ #59471: Whoops... double upload. Looks like Chrome's "form resubmission" thing screwed me. Mods delete this please lol same as #59467 (2 years, 8 months ago)

marmalde @ #59469: very cool amazing puzz grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

marmalde @ #59468: very cool very poggers loved it (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dani @ #59466: "movie quotes" was correct on the "henry" line "Queen lyrics" was correct on the "richards" line "Harper Lee" was correct on the "beckham children" line Only accept the words that really connect them all. Only count any answer that contains "henry" (or "Henr" in case someone types "henries"), "richard" and "beckham". (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dani @ #59465: Good quiz, but I wouldn't say it's Medium! Maybe I'm just stupid, but this was "Hard" to me! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59466: Really enjoyed it, great start to the day! TY (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59416: Not wrong! : ) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59421: Haha, sorry Pete! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59466: It's a very well worked grid, but... You might want to tighten up on the accepted answers. I put Ford for one line and Finch for another. Both were given correct!!! Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59466: I think this is tough (2 years, 8 months ago)

BitcoinLuver900 @ #57277: well done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #59437: Thanks, I liked that! Had never heard of that meaning for ‘bazooka’, love it when I learn something new. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59421: Well I lkd t, nice herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59420: Stare at it for three mins - zilch, well 1/10 wd ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #59455: The French clues were excellent. Well done (2 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #59428: Very easy (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pete @ #59421: Entered: GLNDS RGNS MSCLS BNS as the four subjects but got none right. Come on, you must add these as options! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59447: I don't get the tennis player homophones at all. More explanation needed. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59347: The anagrams foiled me. Again. :-/ (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59445: Really obvious, especially as it looks like you've forgotten to mess with three of the clues. Oh, and you need to add more keywords to your acceptable answers. Gems and Occupations were not accepted. (2 years, 8 months ago)

York @ #59360: Even after seeing the answers I'm none the wiser (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59362: Easy peasy. Done in 34 seconds! (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #59127: Silent letters should count as the X in faux pas is also silent, besides the S. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59367: Not bad, some good misdirection, but monarchs should be an acceptable answer. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #59105: Water is fine. Water color/colour is a paint medium. Famous Glaswegian venues???? Pretty niche. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jenna @ #59434: I put words meaning left alone for the 3rd group and it didn't accept it as correct - not sure why since one of the correct terms was left (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59421: The BCP one should be BCPS. It is not a plural. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59371: Very tenuous groups there (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59373: Think terms of abuse is a perfectly acceptable answer for one (2 years, 8 months ago)

Philip Cooke @ #59397: yeah I finally got 10 points, whoop whoop :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

bored @ #59435: Worst grid ever.. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59389: What is an MBA MVP FFS? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #44698: Well you certainly made me smile 😁 Lots of work to set this up, I should imagine. Never heard of the Sussex one. Knew what to do, but doing it was beyond me. You win 10-0. More please. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Chozology @ #59434: I answered "actresses" and it didn't work for that group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Flanners @ #59424: Nice grid. Got the streamers but the Steamroller group took some dredging up! (2 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #59430: :'( (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59430: Not sure why you reposted this, but you've still got your answers mixed up. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #44698: @DutchAndWorried - Worked for me @george rabbithead WHO CALLS IT ROLY POLY PUDDING!!!!??? what else would you call it? That's what it is called. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59408: All good, apart from the oxygen one, which frankly could have been almost anything. Oh and Ozone doesn't 'contain' oxygen, it _is_ oxygen. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59427: Not difficult to solve, but I felt an enormous sense of achievement when I got the "Brow" row link! (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #44698: A problem with this grid: the images do not load for me. Could someone else try it and see if it's me, or the grid itself please? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #58234: Just awful. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59397: A good set. I got three out of four groups, I missed the final one, literally… 7 out of 10. (2 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #59421: Enjoyed that. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #58240: (2 years, 8 months ago)

JonnoWeb @ #59395: See merriam-webster.com, can also be spelled Loadstone (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59419: Liked this one, good work. Loved the red herrings and the Brooklyn row. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dale @ #59406: Griffen Dore? Do you mean Gryffindor from Harry Potter? Spelling it right would be helpful. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59382: Just messy and pointless with such terrible construction. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59392: Careful with use of plurals, really simplified that group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59397: Four Wheel and Greenwich Mean far too big giveaways. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #59373: Thanks! Just trialling this. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59406: X-men to accommodate Phoenix is very overdone. Door/dore is messy. (2 years, 8 months ago)

george rabbithead @ #44698: WHO CALLS IT ROLY POLY PUDDING!!!!??? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #59367: Nice idea but there are crossovers meaning not a unique solution. Romeo and Juliet can be swapped, as can foxtrot and tango. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59397: Yeah, what he said! (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #59073: Agree. House makes zero sense and just muddies up half the grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Doge @ #59397: Such Good! Much Enjoy! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tyvent @ #59363: @Krista - One can use tautologies for humorous effect. True fact. I'm not over exaggerating ;) (2 years, 8 months ago)

troemyd @ #59395: lodestone (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57923: Why is it I put in Johnson, Wand, Show and Carpet as a connection and it didn't accept it? (2 years, 8 months ago)

dgms @ #59386: Very good, thank you. Enjoyed the Elizabeth group and the red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57928: Agree with bigz, this was poor (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #59048: Two losers in the transport group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #59324: Wasn`t sure about the Queen`s line/set,didn`t quite work but overall good-TY (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #59333: Too movie- niche for me to get a good score. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #59338: Mmm-the words they go with are all over the place but it does kinda work. Still I enjoyed trying. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #59363: Facts are always true by the way! So you just need to say `fact` not true fact. But not arguing with the premise . TY enjoyed the grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57934: Grrrrr game of bloody thrones! :D (2 years, 8 months ago)

SRW27 @ #59391: Good tricky grid...thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #59373: Add medical conditions and even ailments-just as correct since they are not always occupational diseases. Good grid-TY. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #59392: The names of each group was harder than sorting them out and actually there were several completley correct answers-Pulses, Actors, Processed foods, Parts of pop group names. But I still enjoyed it TY. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57948: Good one. Too hard for me, but good (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59388: well put together but too much TV in these grids (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57961: Pretty good, although not sure about E-gals. E-gulls maybe. I like the homophone idea though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57963: Nice one. Utterly confusing at first, but once you chalk 'em off, becomes clear. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #57970: Really poor accepted answers for one and two. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Samuel @ #59387: It may be a bit of a stretch, but the rappers' names are also athletes named Johnson: Andre, Calvin, and Marshall Johnson are all former NFL wide receivers, and Shawn Johnson was an Olympic gymnast. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59351: Some good ideas, but not great over all SPOILERS 'Tudor siblings' is quite a poor group - they're also all famous people surnamed Miller - much less nebulous a a link 'Jobs' isn't very interesting The comedian is Lee Mack, with a K. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59386: Good - too sneaky for me though (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowena @ #42328: Very enjoyable. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gridlington @ #59372: I agree - none of the words in the synonyms group are synonyms for "baffle", except for "boggle" maybe. Gawk and Gape mean to stare, marvel means to be filled with wonder. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59347: Nice and simple - no red herrings, or obscure knowledge needed . Easy to solve in just over a minute, but it seemed very difficult to find the words you accepted for the links. Perhaps you wanted plurals for them all (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59379: Tricky, but fun. All word puzzles though and no general knowledge groups, which was a bit disappointing. Good that the synonym group accepts 'synonym', as I don't agree with the word you've chosen as the common definition. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59342: Excellent. The Holden link tripped me up. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59372: Brilliantly constructed, and very interesting groups. I couldn't solve any of it even though I saw two links as soon as the grid appeared. The simple general knowledge group was totally unknown territory for me,and I don't really agree with the synonyms/definition group. (2 years, 8 months ago)

alexboi @ #59337: yeah Neil Young is absolutely a rock singer (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59362: Caught out by the brey group. Well done! Thanks for posting this. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59369: Excellent grid. Nice mixture of word puzzles and general knowledge. Loved the extra hint of the two misspellings which made me see there were other words hidden in them. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59346: Nice and simple, with a couple of red herrings. Good categories. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59360: Pretty easy if you have a little knowledge of Norse myth and/or Wagner. Solved in under a minute. A bit monotonous and one category is just wrong. None of the people listed are just humans, and only two are 'Heros'. Sieglinde and Siegmund are demigods, children of Wotan, Siegfried is their son, and Brunhilde is a Valkyrie - another daughter of Wotan. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #59365: Poor (2 years, 8 months ago)

A @ #59307: @Yotk - Miami is a city, and red herrings are what make good grids. The goat group is over the top though, you'd need to know about goats AND American sports AND an understanding of what the acronym GOAT means in order to have any chance at that group. It's a bit much. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #36842: please amend definition of "nerd" group to allow meanings, not just "insult" - eg "weak person" etc. Good use of herrings here > just in time solving, nice. (2 years, 8 months ago)

joe @ #54351: units of CURRENCY not currency - how many people have lost points because of your spelling? The 'English alphabet' link is very dodgy 'Added to a letter' should also recognise 'accents' (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #37170: Lots og grids have too many characters from TV and film (especially kids & franchises) - no go for me, sorry. (But I enjoyed the DDDBM&T ref) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #36949: great stuff - the only time I've ever come across Lampeter on this site - lovely red herring ! (lived there for a year in 1970s - fond memories) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #48094: I feel the head definitions is stretching it a bit, otherwise a good one. Like the Atkinson misdirection (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59336: I'm no biologist but got all the groups, so I'm OK with 'easy' The answers given, however, are not all correct. "Substances" is just far too vague, and flagellum and organisms are completely wrong. Maybe switched around makes organisms correct, but no the other one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59302: Great grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59324: Great grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59295: ditto (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #31547: Pretty good. Knew it was David Tenant, couldn't get Srooge Mc though, v clever putting the doctor in. I think putting shakepeare in should get a mark for four though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59296: Beach bar? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Yotk @ #59328: The answer to number one makes zero sense. For three, Do you mean they come *after* lamp? There is lamprey, but no rey lamp AFAIK. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pookington @ #59327: This grid is so fun and hilarious that I didn't mind the big fat hairy zero I got. Nicely done! :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rys @ #59302: @D.Ceeving - I checked pit in wiktionary and Webster's. Pit, pip, stone, and seed pit are synonymous for a seed in peaches and some other fruits. Pith is different fruit stuff. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rys @ #59307: Goats? Clever clever. But in the description, you should note two of them are G.O.A.T.S. Many people won't understand the pun otherwise. For the US states, I typed States (unless I typoed) and was marked incorrect. You may want to double check your link terms. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59281: This is a wonderful grid, especially for someone like myself who is part of the staff at a major ATC in the Netherlands! I got two groups immediately, and the other two after a short think. 10/10, would like to see more like this one! (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59241: That was interesting. Until I fitted the first two groups together, I couldn't see the last two or how they worked. But this is a very good grid, definitely fun for a mental exercise. (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #59302: Pit should be pip or pith (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59285: Nice an easy straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

kitty @ #59277: Sonic group is ridiculously niche! Apart from that, good, tough grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59268: Yes, quite simple, but multiple crossovers made it interesting anyway, (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59295: Excellent, different and great fun to play. And, yes I'll bet it took ages to construct, well done. Got the lot with 6 seconds remaining !! More please (when you have time 😉) 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Trillium @ #59296: For some reason this grid does not accept the word that is the actual nswer, even though that word is shown on the solution page. For the group with "7". (2 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #59296: Not a bad grid, but too many "all preceded by" links imho. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Langers @ #59294: Nice red herrings - good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Langers @ #59295: The type of grid that takes a lot longer to construct than to work out, but good fun! Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58430: very good - but please be more flexible with answer formats ("end with hills" termed incorrect - as was "PMs") I know it doesn't matter and I've awarded myself the confetti anyway, but it makes a difference...! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59253: no (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #58557: I got half of it, the anagrams are tricky without any clue, the battles far too specialised for me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58616: sometimes you overdo the complexity of the word ones - liked the other categories though (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59253: I quite liked this one. 10/10 (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58557: impossible but impressive (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #58546: This was a great grid! Not sure what a wedge salad is, but it didn't stop me from figuring out the difference between the two close categories. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #59240: Very sneaky! Didn't think there were enough hidden names for that to be the theme of all the connections so I only got 4 points for typing the connections. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #59241: I like a single theme board every now and then. It means you probably won't be screwed by obscure trivia. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59261: Again I think this is the wrong language category (2 years, 8 months ago)

Novak Dojovic @ #59240: This sucks. Do better next time. I have 20 grand slam victories you can't compete with me (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #59218: Not difficult (although I took ages to find the link for the "house" row) but very satisfying (2 years, 8 months ago)

CRSU30 @ #59241: Nice, but I take issue with your "up" group; three words you've used are phrasal verbs whereas ketch needs up to become a word its own right. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59218: Nice. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59232: Well worked. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59240: Well put together. Spotted the plot, but as per Hamburger couldn't solve the wall. Easy after the reveal. You win 10/4 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dani @ #45794: Ich würde auch bei der "ergo" Zeile sowas wie "Konjunktionen" oder "Begründungen" oder irgend sowas gelten lassen. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #58843: Those are Anglicized or Americanized spellings of German style sausages, so, I think the spellings are OK. Diss, on the other hand, needs a 2nd S to become a verb. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59208: Took me a while to get what was going on but got there in the end! I still prefer grids that have variety between the groups but this was still a good test - thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #59210: Also typed pyramid instead of triangle but the main issue is 19, 1999 and 1985 are allsongs and albums so are interchangeable - impossible to solve at that point! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59208: happy with my 3/10 (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59208: Thanks again, Hamburger. One of my favourite grids and got it with enough spare time left to figure out the last connection. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59202: Not too difficult. Maybe allow acronyms 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59208: Excellent grid, great fun to play. Had to reload, so probably took me 5 minutes. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #59202: Agree with Georgia. "Text and SMS abbreviations" rather than "internet abbreviations" seems outdated to me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #59184: Lost a point to the monkey category because I typed "primates". :\ (2 years, 8 months ago)

frank @ #42399: bad puzzle for the same reason as others have mentioned. puzzles should have one solution (or it should accept both). This would be like doing a sudoku but then being judged as wrong when the author left multiple solutions as valid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

frank @ #58843: agree with ace: should have the word knack. That said, the whole point of the difficulty of this one is that the categories all overlap. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen @ #59201: Gardening tools was far too easy. Didn't like "synonyms for group", too... generic, I guess? (2 years, 8 months ago)

AMX @ #59205: Nice! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Georgia @ #59157: Great wall, and as Freddgar said, I learned a new word aswell! (2 years, 8 months ago)

spburstein78 @ #59207: Please ignore this grid, it is an accidental copy. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anne @ #39823: This is about knowledge so not knowing about Pokemon is no excuse to bash it. You failed. The rest of us fail all the time. Live with it (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anne @ #8619: Maybe shut up about it being too easy. If people think it's hard accept that and stop whining (2 years, 8 months ago)

Georgia @ #59188: Nice wall! A whole range of knowledge required :) Was the perfect combination of me and and my boyfriend's knowledge. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Georgia @ #59202: Surprisingly I got two groups and two connections despite being from the UK! Perhaps quite specific for a certain country. For one connection you may want to include "slang" or "internet" generally :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59202: Pretty cool. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Alexander Krah @ #59120: I put Christianity as an answer for the one that says Catholicism. I think you should accept christianity. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dawgs @ #58763: I really liked the Pokemon types red herring (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dawgs @ #58777: Should "restaurant" have deserved credit? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dawgs @ #59128: "couch" deserves credit (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #59119: The mighty Gangster Gnu-o crushed this grid in a measley 21 seconds. The raging intellect on display here was not stumped by your attempted red herrings, a good effort regardless though. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #59168: Interesting grid but I would have liked more detail in the answers. Any chance you could explain them more fully? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #59166: A small typo that's off-putting... HIll should be Hill. Nice work otherwise! (2 years, 8 months ago)

quodlibet @ #59163: Tricky! (2 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #59115: Quality grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #59119: Easy but great. @BexyLou I see that the term does exist, but "Grandmother" isn't in extremely widespread use in that context so it didn't offend me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59157: Cracking grid, Hadders. You're good at this! Got two out of four groups, and once the other two resolved when I ran out of guesses, I got the four connections. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59162: Very poor. How many four-letter words are there? Two balls in different groups. Pencil group is all wrong, pen doesn't belong there and it should be spelt 'lead'. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #59162: Oh brother, this guy stinks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59157: Very good, got the lot then looked up what Perigean meant. Well I never, learnt something new. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

venomzest @ #54052: Das Quiz war eigentlich gut, bloß leider wurde "Limonade" und "Palindrom" nicht anerkannt. Sondern anscheinend hätte ich einfach "Limo" und "Palindrome" schreiben müssen, obwohl ich denke, dass es eigentlich egal sein müsste. Einfach beim nächsten Mal darauf achten, dass Leute auf verschiedene Varianten die Antwort geben könnten, damit du sie alle abdeckst. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Joseph @ #59115: 10/10 Great PuzzGrid right there (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59154: I liked it! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59156: I didn't get all the connections but enjoyed the grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

matVS @ #59144: Maracas/Caracas is really good (2 years, 8 months ago)

Est289 @ #59157: Liked it! Thank you for submitting! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59140: Very one note, requesting one area of knowledge only which isn’t good. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thomas @ #59154: 50% pretty original with lack of red herrings. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anne @ #47477: Too many red herrings make it silly (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowena @ #59098: Good grid. Nice mix and a bit different. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rowena @ #59136: Nice (2 years, 8 months ago)

itsame @ #59153: It seems that Agatha Christie's book is called "Five Little Pigs" not three (2 years, 8 months ago)

BexyLou @ #59119: Great grid, but not unique groups, Grandfather and Grandmother can be swapped. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59152: Contrived, and sadly inaccurate. Anna was first mentioned as being present 40 days after the birth of Jesus. (2 years, 8 months ago)

SM @ #59146: Newcastle, Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester are also all Cities in england or the north of england as well. there is nothing to suggest that this has got something to do with football. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #59153: @SM Thanks that’s changed now (2 years, 8 months ago)

SM @ #59153: Elizabeth Badinter did not make her money from writing so think this is a bit misleading. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Anne @ #27834: Explain all the clues. It's annoying (2 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #59142: Thanks for playing, this is the first puzzle without vowels so tell me what you think! Thanks Steve (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59135: A pinch of NaCl for dwell maybe. Good grid (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gagalady @ #59133: Munster is not an Irish county. It's a province. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59119: Ditto (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59137: I can't see any silent letters in vegetable. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59146: Quite nice, if a little simple. The groupings all dropped out quite easily, with only a couple of tiny red herring, but the cities are not uniquely linked only by your defined connection. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #59140: Could not find the link on some, quite a rush - more please! ty (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59135: Enjoyed this - thanks, Hamburger. Another great grid. The harp connection could also be 'on' (2 years, 8 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #59140: Thank you, Plod. Unusual and well put together. A challenge which suddenly clicked after one blind alley! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Geraint Jones @ #59098: Da iawn (2 years, 8 months ago)

Malcontent @ #59105: Water paint? (2 years, 8 months ago)

frank @ #59134: The distinction between college and university in the answers is incredibly pedantic. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dgms @ #59117: Very good. Nice mixture of groups, good red herrings. Thanks. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Thom @ #59137: Might want to add "palindrome" as a connection for the "spelt the same backwards and forwards" clue, seeing as that's what they're called. Other than that, nice wall (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59134: Great grid. Unfortunately for me I kept adding myself. (2 years, 8 months ago)

matt @ #59138: good fun! only managed one line (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59131: I couldn't sort the links, but got all four groups, a nice, difficult grid thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ethel Q @ #59119: Quick and sweet! Thanks (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59135: Got 7/10, gherkin link eluded me, very nice. Thanks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #58695: Difficult and clever, got three groups, thanks for posting! (2 years, 8 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #59119: Nice grid, thank you for my confetti! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #59097: Great grid, but I agree with Aetees. I got all the connections but missed two points because I put “half” instead of “divide by two”, and “double” instead of “times two”. Boo! (2 years, 8 months ago)

cats @ #59113: why is genre not a correct answer for the music genre question? (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59119: (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59119: Great grid. Knocked it off in under 1:30, but still good fun :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #58105: Answers need widening. E.g. ship, boat etc, put synonyms of bow but wasn’t accepted (2 years, 8 months ago)

c @ #55607: Spelling mistakes (2 years, 8 months ago)

JB @ #59119: Nice grid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #47900: Unless there is a reason, it would be better for the names to be correctly capitalised. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hadders @ #59124: I connected the verbs with 'out' rather than 'up' (2 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #59104: Siamese cat colours ? A bit specialist (2 years, 8 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #29197: @Khitty Thank you for this long, kind response to my puzzle! :) You're right, "toys" was a bit easy. But Puck and Top could also be toys, so there are kind of 6 possibilities there. Plus I figured not everyone would be familiar with Shakespeare or subatomic particles, so a more straightforward category was necessary. (2 years, 8 months ago)

coco @ #59113: I enjoyed the links, good variety. Could benefit from some crossovers or red herrings Nevertheless, enjoyed! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #39625: @tadjinar, it was kind of a happy accident! My original intention with the "solar" category was to make "Eclipse" tricky. Also "Orbit" might have something to do with the sun too. :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fan Fan @ #59078: This is brilliant, thank you! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Fan Fan @ #58695: Nice grid, but having ** at the end of the word when the others in the group were at the front felt like a slight cop out! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59119: Nice and easy. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hamburger @ #59116: Fantastic grid, cheers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kerrie @ #59069: Amazing grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #59115: nicely done - (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #59078: Ireland is not a UK nation. Northern Ireland is part of the UK but the Republic isn't. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #59078: Enjoyed this, thank you. You can never have too many 🐈...well, you can but you know what I mean... (2 years, 8 months ago)

Kevin McQuade @ #59114: Firstly it "our bearing is" and secondly words found in words such as amusement is so tenuous a connection as to stupid. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #37030: Good grid. Little easy for me. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dev @ #59109: Nice grid! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Langers @ #59097: Excellen 10/10 each! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Langers @ #58695: Very good grid - well thought out (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #58735: Tough overall. Well thought out. But, sure is just bad. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #58722: NICHE NICHE NICHE (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #58719: Mundi, not mundus. Mappa is placed before mundi properly. You need the possessive form of mundus. Misdirects are fine, typos happen, but your bad Latin grammar screws your grid up. Old boy is interesting, must be colloquial. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #59073: Where in the world is "House" a synonym for eating?? I literally can find no reference to this online anywhere. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Subjectlamb @ #59101: Great puzzle! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #59097: halfed and doubled should be accepted as answers (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hadders @ #59104: If you put singular words as connections, it doesn't give you the points, e.g. 'nut' instead of 'nuts' (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hadders @ #59075: Some really nice tricks in here, and very satisfying connections (2 years, 8 months ago)

Hadders @ #59099: The anagram connection is frikin impossible. Got me with the silent 'k's as well, intentional or not (2 years, 8 months ago)

VCM @ #59078: good one. too many cats for me (2 years, 8 months ago)

VCM @ #59097: Tricky in the time allowed. Good one. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pookington @ #59094: What the hell was that??? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Callum_R @ #59078: Rather fun grid, got so focused on cats that I ran out of time. Also kicking myself as I was going to do a "can" one the ither day and totally didn’t see the link while playing; well done!! :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Avenger @ #6833: So many comments ... ... here's another.... ... sort the relatives thing out!!! Would be a decent grid otherwise. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #6819: I gotta agree with KJ, I gave acceptable answers to 3 of the 4 groups and only got 1 correct. The answer strings to this group are badly flawed. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59033: Nice and easy, a few red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59048: Fairly straightforward grid. Bought might be a stretch for non Lancashire / Yorkshire folk 😉 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #59045: Very good, but... You may want to tighten up on the accepted answers. Detectives, singers, colours and rivers were all accepted as correct. Not complaining though, I got 10/10 😁 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58695: Clever Red Herrings, and satisfying connections. However, star signs are a figment of our collective unconscious, and have been planted by big pharma. (2 years, 8 months ago)

a.redo @ #59034: this is a really great one! good job. super satisfying when you figure it out (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #59034: This was a first class grid. Should be the grid of the day! Got me thinking for a moment or two before things started to drop into place. It was like Mental Tetris, and I finished all the rows! One clue gave a group away, and it was great fun! (2 years, 8 months ago)

barry womble @ #59034: Tremendous. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Beth @ #58695: Nice and clear with lots of red herrings (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #59007: Lucky I live near Birmingham (2 years, 8 months ago)

Will @ #59028: Great grid! Loads of crossovers. (2 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #59022: Lovely. Muppets references always get top marks! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #59000: not at all bad, I particularly liked the duck one for some reason. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #58998: Excellent. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Rocinante @ #58969: Enjoyed this, thank you. I might also have taken away a star on Sheeran grounds but I gave it back for reminding me of castella cake! (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58987: Well worked. Slipped up on the vision row answer 😞 You win 10-7 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mostly70sTV @ #58993: fyi the one group all have a cross on their flags (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #58994: The music group definition was too narrow. They're also music groups, bands, etc... (2 years, 8 months ago)

cody @ #39209: Sexy and fun! Lover of the Taylor Swift reference (lol ;)) Great puzzle!!! Keep up the good work (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #33032: NGL, low-key Mid. Your Toxic Fav Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #10172: In the hit 2020 Movie Wreck-It Ralph: Ralph Breaks the Internet, there is a scene featuring certified "Disney Princesses." This scene includes all the characters in the group, and therefore, despite not being Princesses in the traditional sense, they are 100% "Disney Princesses."

SF7 @ #58990: I really like it, some nice red herrings and some good variety. Only got 7 as I mistyped salad!! (2 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #58992: Got full marks but another one where all the groups are too similar! If you don't know much about technology then you're wasting your time with this. I like to see a bit of variety across the groups both in terms of themes but also the types of clue. Words within words, words that can precede, anargrams etc (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58983: unenjoyable - far too niche (2 years, 8 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58971: lacks crossovers and 2 groups a bit vague (2 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #58977: Rotten cheese, brilliant disguise (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #58890: Very clever. But I “fear” that one group in particular was way too difficult for me. At least I have learnt some new words so thank you and do please carry on gridding. (2 years, 8 months ago)

bigz @ #58584: Llama is pronounced YAH MAH Not lammah Getting the other 3 lets that group fall into place by elimination. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Pookington @ #58978: Excellent grid. Completely stumped me. Being high as balls probably didn't help me much, though. But I got a big fat hairy zero. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cat @ #58927: "Halo 2 Multiplayer Maps" is a bit niche. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #58931: The given link for "ling" simply does not work (2 years, 8 months ago)

Cat @ #58921: I think you mean they can have OW as an ending. Even if you used the closer term "suffix", real suffixes must be added to a root word to change the usage/meaning of the word. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Matt @ #58936: Rivet category could do with more possible answers accepted (2 years, 8 months ago)

DRTGNN @ #58890: This is my first grid so your feedback would be much appreciated - what did you like/hate? What could I improve for next time? (2 years, 8 months ago)

Personamb @ #58837: Interesting take on a wall. Some errata: "Olympic game types" is a little ambiguous as to what that means There are lots of variations on the game Mafia and the core game only has two roles. (2 years, 8 months ago)

RMP @ #58938: I think there is something wrong with the link for the "pit" row. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Personamb @ #58914: Excellent wall, I appreciate the phantom group (2 years, 8 months ago)

Personamb @ #58841: The groups are too similar (2 years, 8 months ago)

Stephan @ #58914: well done (2 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew White @ #58891: Those homophones were poor (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #55740: Great grid. Gave my brain a workout before something clicked into place and I slotted everything into where it was supposed to be. I wouldn't have fitted the "Clock" group together, that was the bit that took the most though :) (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58918: Nice and easy, straightforward grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58921: Good grid, maybe allow synonyms ? 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 8 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #55740: Thanks, Gridley from La Italian Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #58908: Brilliant grid, I missed the Pony group cause I didn't have a clue, but that's a very good one to play. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #1382: I can't say what I really think of this grid, because you would ban me for life, burn my IP address and scatter the ashes of it in hell. Let's just say that it's not worth the time or the worry. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #1494: Hey Gnock this was pretty good. Nice job. Stay off the horse. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Dgms @ #58907: A nice mixture of word puzzles and general knowledge. Thank you. (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #58895: track and desk lines, ok, but I think you're expecting too much for the rest (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #58902: 7/10, you got me on the nicky line, I never wear those things (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #58910: Should have done a little better than my score of 1 (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #58871: Dutch is right. Also (spoiler) the queen group nearly threw me off because of the obvious association with the mercury group, but you'd have needed an extra red herring or crossover to make it work. Good effort though! (2 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #58893: Why Americans continue to think the world is interested in their dumb states and stupid state capitals is a total mystery... Otherwise, nice grid dude. (2 years, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #58909: What is platnun? It is a bad typo. What is Catan? A very niche game. What are Mottled and Wood? Ducks found specifically in small areas of America. The gray, gold etc line is impenetrable given the other flaws in this grid. Please try to make grids that you are not the only human alive that would be able to solve. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #58768: I like these cheers (2 years, 8 months ago)

Ace @ #58891: When using homophones it's important to negate regional variations; except perhaps in parts of North America pedal is not a homophone of petal. (2 years, 8 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #58868: Not bad for a Dutch grid. First one on here I've seen that's actually had a Dutch theme to it!!! Might not be so easy for the non-Dutch users. (2 years, 9 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #58871: It's not President day, it's President's day, same with Veteran & Veterans. Got all four groups, needs work though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58871: got there but two groups are too niche (2 years, 9 months ago)

Voidhawk @ #58857: Good fun, thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58841: Too similar groupings (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58852: solved Ok but groupings too precise (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58859: Good - not too tricky and nice to see a few crossovers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58797: Nice one. Downing a surprisingly good red herring/confuser. (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58860: solved in52 secs but it didn't like any of my groupings (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58810: What have OSX and Northern got to do with lions? and I don't think undertale or taleunder are real words. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58829: Far too many possible correct combinations. A good half of the words could easily be in several groups, so the 'correct' solution as you have it is far from unique. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #58845: a really good head scratcher ty (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #58857: It has been done many times, but it is still nice to see and there are always new players. ty (2 years, 9 months ago)

noodles @ #58854: Very enjoyable :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58835: Straight forward - an easy 10 - needs more crossovers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58842: I can't imagine anyone spotting the cap_ group, too many levels of linguistic abstraction. Clever, I must admit, and the other groups were all perfectly doable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #58578: Good grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #58812: Nice grid, a little on the easy side (2 years, 9 months ago)

nush @ #58831: nice wall! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fizzy @ #58741: That was good. Took me a while to find the “necks”. Good crossovers. Thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fizzy @ #58762: I can see where you’re going. Could have been brilliant - but a few answers are a bit loose. Apple Bees? Liked the “save” ones though. Good effort. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Enzed @ #58802: Nice (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58827: some groups a bit tenuous (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fizzy @ #58774: Good for the most part. Nice Lord of the Rings crossover. Bit frustrated that it wouldn’t accept “Hound”. Maybe you could add that to the answers. Just a suggestion to avoid future frustrated puzzlers. All round pretty good though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58812: some good crossovers - I spelt scandal wrong to miss out on 10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

DutchAndWorried @ #31982: For the brothers group, they don't all contain the number 4. Forty Two contains Forty, not Four. Otherwise, not bad. (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58801: fairly easy - needs some crossovers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58812: Very good, lots of red herrings. Well put together. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #54952: Not difficult but fun to do. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58793: Really good one. Red herrings galore. Ran out of time, you win 10-4, over and out. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #40577: OK grid let down by very poor chicago clues. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #28235: Reasonably good - never heard of solo cup though. A bit US centric, but got it eventually. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #52050: Good, took a while to get the smiths group (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #47791: Good grid, one of the trickier ones. Time ran out just I was clicking the last needed group in, dammit. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #51071: Not bad, not too difficult. (2 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #54971: Very good, well constructed. Suddenly realised the connections half way in and had quickly think through all the alternatives. (2 years, 9 months ago)

D.Ceeving @ #58785: Easy enough - needs some crossovers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rocinante @ #58782: That was fun, thanks. Interesting range of topics! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcolm @ #58769: Decant - answer is misspelt and clue should be decants part of skin clue should be parts for the answer to match pig answer is the wrong spelling. uninteresting answer not really a match to the clue (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shanni @ #29066: Slight bit of pedantry, but 'hung' should be 'hanged'. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58769: Very enjoyable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58750: Not “hard” at all. Mostly entirely obvious, lack of herrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58782: Really great grid, thank you. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Catcat @ #58695: Added that as an option :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #58769: dabbling with the "H" word - whisky 😉 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shanni @ #29309: Didn't think anythings was too obscure at all here, but I did fall into the obvious trap for the ....up line! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58761: Having synonyms as a stand-alone group all ending in “ing” gives it away. Having hot in the taste group feels loose. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dirtyapples @ #58777: Fair critiques for the most part Puzzle edited (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lise @ #58778: Fun grid! Got three of the groups but was thinking too broadly about the fourth :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58777: Sonic Drive In was the only fast food place I could find online meaning “Sonics” is wrong. I dislike the “put ball on either side” style, rather than only suffix or prefix. The double letters one feels a bit lazy to just have red herrings in too. Decent first attempt otherwise. (2 years, 9 months ago)

starfairy @ #58769: Lovely dovely. Really fun to do. (Couple of typos in the answers for pig and stop lines) TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dirtyapples @ #58695: Good grid. I did put Astrological for the Zodiac clue and wasn't given credit. I think that should be added as a key word. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rabbit @ #58756: It's all just dots?? dafuq (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rabbit @ #58764: The "neon" category is sort of awkward. Like I know those are all correct, it just feels weird to say "neon gas, neon light, neon sign, neon genesis" altogether. I'm normally terrible at these things but I solved this one super fast despite it being "fiendishly difficult" (2 years, 9 months ago)

afafasf @ #58756: Too easy. Should be beginner level. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #58734: Very nicely crafted TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #38959: If we are picky, Sound of Music was set in 1938 - and if you want to be really picky 1939 was the outbreak of war in Europe. USA entered the war Dec 1941, Russia June 1941. So we know what Glenn meant and we are not going to be picky - are we? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Trillium @ #58717: "American football" also works for the quarters group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58643: Also I just wanted to add that I easily did it in HALF of the allotted time and that the only reason I suggested 3 minutes is because I know everyone else is far less gifted than myself. So it's for THEM! They need more than 3 minutes, not me. I did it easily within the time limit. I just wanted to clarify that. Also, selecting the rabbit every time is incredibly easy for me, is there a way I can make the animal selection for commenting more challenging? Thank you -tiny tommy (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58692: Good one. Not often you get a red herring of an entire potential group (fire). well done. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58689: No idea what this is about. Poor explanations. Just a series of names. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58670: bit inconsistent, when three out of the four in a group are the start of a name and the fourth is the whole name. Oh, and you could be a bit more generous with your allowed answers, 'ton' on its own doesn't work, NY neither. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephan @ #58682: My answer is much more lowbrow, but Leonardo, Donatello, Michaelangelo and Raphael can also be the teenage mutant ninja turtles as well as the Italian Renaissance artists. :-) (2 years, 9 months ago)

phil dillson @ #58631: this was extremely repetitive in its reasoning, unlike the spirit of the show (2 years, 9 months ago)

phil dillson @ #57231: this is a poorly made grid by someone who sincerely misunderstands the game (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #12451: Good one. Was thrown by 'Martin'. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #58683: Yes, they are all artists, but the TMNT connection is FAR stronger, as it is exclusive. There were other artists, but there were only four TMNTs. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #58670: Nothing for 'ton'? How could the answer be more direct than that? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #57717: Kendal not Kendall (2 years, 9 months ago)

Langers @ #58668: Very nice - 10/10 for each of us! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #6092: Darto is incorrect. Never been to the states - why would anyone know the group used? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne @ #58638: The name in the dragon group is spelt wrong so doesn't award the point so you might want to change that. Nice grid otherwise! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephan @ #58670: This was a fun grid. However, your description of the New York Areas is inaccurate. Queens is one of the five Boroughs of New York City, therefore not a suburb, though to be fair, people frequently debate about that. But officially, it's not a suburb, but a part of New York City. The UES and Harlem are actually on the island of Manhattan, which means they are definitely not suburbs, but neigbourhoods in the city. Long Island is definitely a suburb. Great red herring with the drink Manhattan, though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58671: well constructed - town anagrams were a bit too hard for me (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58670: Good grid, maybe include ""add ton" ? Other than that nice mix of New York places, had me going for a bit. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rabbit @ #58383: It's 'citizen's arrest', not just citizen. Which is also extremely similar to 'under arrest', you clearly couldn't think of more examples. A boring grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58663: The Kenney row should say something like "ex-members" (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #58667: Brilliant grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #58668: Brilliant grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

James Haughton @ #58658: Loved this wall. Superbly crafted. Well done! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rowena @ #58619: (2 years, 9 months ago)

Verbena @ #58624: Nice one (2 years, 9 months ago)

doc filth @ #58638: You lose a star for misspelling Shrek. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tilly @ #58642: @Villagio - so it can, I had not seen that, award yourself an extra point 😁 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Villagio @ #58642: First letter in ola group can also be replaced by "B"? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Langers @ #58624: I hate the ones with missing letters, but the rest... very good (2 years, 9 months ago)

Langers @ #58629: Nice concept, but the Game group was a bit of a stretch! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Langers @ #58619: Very good, challenging grid. Solved it but only got 'buzzard' by a process of elimination. Never heard of a honey buzzard! (2 years, 9 months ago)

trottolina @ #56502: Nice grid, though you need to allow for the second spelling of Connaught for the link... (2 years, 9 months ago)

tposer @ #58624: Great quiz, nice variety of connections, red herrings worked well. Needed a lucky guess for the final vegetable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #58611: Great grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58629: This one is a bit of a mess tbh (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #58637: The Spies In Disguise group caught me out. Great grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58647: There’s no syrup in a Margarita, and the salt is on the rim not in it. Also the answer descriptions were incredibly annoying. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #58642: I didn't get the ola connection but I enjoyed the grid. Thanks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58631: Innervate turns out to be a perfectly cromulent word. I have learned something. Thanks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58635: Tonya. (2 years, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #58643: Some clever clues (2 years, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #58642: Nice! Quick and easy, TY. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58642: I liked the "ola" one. I hadn't seen it before. Great grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58631: Meh. Hate the use of parts of words leading only to adding parts, and the inconsistency with phantom is very irritating. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58637: Not quite fiendish. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58638: You… misspelled… Shrek…. 🤦🏼‍♂️ (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58642: Not a fan of the “ola” clue myself, but nice easy grid outside that. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58598: Not tricky but very satisfying. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58643: Not suited for 3 minutes alone, but enjoyable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58642: Nice! I didn't get the "Cray" row link but I'm kicking myself. (2 years, 9 months ago)

moviebuff @ #58641: 7/10 nice one, Mrs Brisby was new to me, so she had to be one. plus I did not get the Colleen line. wd ty (2 years, 9 months ago)

coco @ #58536: Answered all connections correctly but didn't give me the points for: extraterrestrial body, mythical creatures, the chase. When all are correct. (2 years, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #58636: lol, only for other buffs ; D (2 years, 9 months ago)

moviebuff @ #58636: nice easy one (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #58535: Good grid. Just the right level of difficulty for a challenge (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #58483: 👌 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #58611: Excellent! Great crossovers 😃 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Enzed @ #58631: Nice grid Not many red herrings but a bit of head scratching needed to solve. (2 years, 9 months ago)

film buff @ #58636: * for hardcore buffs (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thunder @ #51314: YOU PUT QUOTES AROUND BAND LOL. Well played (2 years, 9 months ago)

CornWoman @ #58475: This was a blast! Only 6/10 since I couldn't figure out B-natural. Mr. Natural was as far as I could manage. Cheers! (2 years, 9 months ago)

SteveB84 @ #58131: @bigz While Giacomo Puccini is a composer, Niccolo Piccinni is a classical composer in the same era as the other three. (2 years, 9 months ago)

gigsta @ #58579: The brackets represent the number of words in the unscrambled phrase. I knew this grid would be very unfair, so I tried to give a small hint. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steven @ #52383: Love it. Points. (2 years, 9 months ago)

david A garcia @ #58578: If the "Poul Anderson" red herring was intentional then you are next-level clever and inventive! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #58579: What's the story with the numbers in brackets? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gallifrist @ #58616: Good red herrings but frustrating! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steven @ #55166: Really great, thank you buddy. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rocinante @ #58613: Very enjoyable, thank you. Nice crossovers! My only little quibble is that a booby is not a ‘common’ bird in Britain. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steven @ #57078: Really awesome, thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steven @ #57877: This was great, thank you. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58406: not all royal - ranks of aristocracy would be more accurate (2 years, 9 months ago)

emzy @ #58484: Me and my friend really enjoyed this! Thank you for your time in creating this and wishing you a happy new year. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58619: Not bad but becomes unsolveable as the letter category also rhyme with each other - no way to distinguish so impossible to guarantee full marks. Cost me my 10 points! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mathelstan @ #58616: @Zenster - Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find one you can solve eventually! (2 years, 9 months ago)

zenster @ #58616: Rubbish (2 years, 9 months ago)

Derek @ #33156: Good fun (2 years, 9 months ago)

Derek @ #42675: Good fun, this one (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #58301: weird, niche, poor (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58613: Good one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58610: Another one where the groups are all on a similar theme. If you're not into movies this grid is a total waste of time. A variety of themes is essential. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah Collins @ #58613: Nice. Only had seven seconds left. (2 years, 9 months ago)

dollymix @ #58577: Decent grid, but it didn't accept any of the artist names as connections. (2 years, 9 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #58576: Bit tenuous, some of those... (2 years, 9 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #58578: Full marks in 14 seconds! Hurrah! Lovely clues though, think I got lucky with the order I marked them off in. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #6014: Not a bad grid. Would always include the word synonym for the group though when you can. Don't know how the person above has never heard of a shower as a social gathering? Like a baby shower? (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58536: Shark has been changed to governess - thank you (2 years, 9 months ago)

a_redo @ #57282: very easy but fun! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #58598: Excellent (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #58240: YAFKM!!! NICHE (2 years, 9 months ago)

bobbaker @ #58598: Good grid, even if it didn't allow turn as spin. A nice mix of categories. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58582: Ehhhh was my closing thought. Inconsistent and has the Australian issue of being too Australian lol. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58584: Bit too loose in some places. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58586: As stated, pretty loosely woven grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kaye @ #58414: Steve? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kaye @ #58546: Good quiz, I like food (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58598: Not sure I’d equate as twist to a spin, very good otherwise. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jackslack @ #58598: Fantastic grid as always. Categories and clues are rock solid and feel very satisfying. Kicking myself on missing Mars category! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58557: Far too clever for me but a definite 5 star grid. It is great to be actually challenged by a wall like this. Thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58578: A perfect grid. Thanks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

JackSlack @ #58586: The category involving “friend” is good, and I wish we had more like it. But the rest seem muddy and indistinct. Overall, it’s a frustrating and unclear grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

JackSlack @ #58587: Not a hard grid, but solid clues and clear categories. A great round one grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58546: Lots of red herrings! Very good. Very American - not many Brits will have heard of the Press or Vanilla or Wedge phrases (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #58546: (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thunder @ #58546: Superb! Love the overlaps. (2 years, 9 months ago)

zenster @ #58581: Terrible (2 years, 9 months ago)

zenster @ #58583: Worst ever (2 years, 9 months ago)

James @ #58576: things you "tease" is very unclear (2 years, 9 months ago)

Langers @ #58568: ...and did you mean Shakira? (2 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #58551: Good grid but agree with others about the omission of 'of'. There were other possibilities that could have been used instead of the two with the 'of' issue like Wild, High, or Night. (2 years, 9 months ago)

CKJ @ #58546: Now I’m hungry! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58551: Yeah not having “of” kills the life clues (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58555: Very nice balance, herring set within a group itself, well thought out. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58557: Not a fan of anagrams, especially when it’s fairly specific knowledge backed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Villagio @ #57877: Now that was a breath of fresh air. Hard on a mobile though... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58568: Beyond easy, barely existing. No puzzle aspect or herrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58570: Yeeeeesh. I really hoped that wouldn’t be a group. Paired with doing reality tv heavy schlock, this is poor taste and unwelcome. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58571: Yellow doesn’t mean down, neither does background, nor bottommost really. Sad doesn’t rhyme.. did you mean said? Bit of a mess overall. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #58550: pre-enact is spelled with a hyphen. E Street? And maybe expand your Greek acceptable answers to include deities (2 years, 9 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #51691: Wild animals is not a great pick: All those animals are Jungle animals too. Domestic animals are pets. Your answer categories for those two groups are too tight. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Villagio @ #28141: "solo artists" nor "fractions" accepted? (2 years, 9 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #56720: Not bad. Once I got the first set, the others all fell into place quite easily. A good starter to a busy night :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #6014: "Shower" - a "social gathering"????? Wrong. Wrong on here, wrong side of the Atlantic. Just wrong. Don't try this grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Villagio @ #50210: Coding? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Villagio @ #30776: Thought the link was taskmaster, but didn't want to risk it. Nice grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

CornWoman @ #58550: Thank you, Grid Mom! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jimdas @ #58519: Tyre grrr lol (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #58540: Enjoyed this TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rob @ #57631: That was really enjoyable, I got close but couldn't remember my constellations in time! (2 years, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #58536: Entertaining; I presume "shark" had been amended by the time I did the grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #58550: Good, the "-act" one perhaps a bit shaky (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kaphc @ #58547: Good wall, kicking myself that I didn't get the Pokemon group, but spotted the Greek letter anagrams at the last minute so it kinda evened out (2 years, 9 months ago)

weegieman @ #58414: Very good, straightforward and entertaining (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58543: 1966 group - tremendous. Great grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58525: Great grid with a nice mixture, thanks for the effort! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58508: Brilliant. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58551: tree life? game life? Quite liked it otherwise. As a la italian, I understand that of life and life after words may be a hard disitinction to make, put please checc in future (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58414: Well deserved grid of the week. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mel @ #55841: I got caught out by the authors and put 'female authors' which was accepted. Shouldn't really have been allowed those points! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Elizabeth @ #58400: "mothers" should be accepted - otherwise an enjoyable sifting of red herrings (2 years, 9 months ago)

LB @ #58536: There isn't shark in the options? (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58547: Pretty good! Have never played pokemon in my life so was never getting that but managed to spot everything else. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Wazzywoo @ #58547: Got 4/10. Fluked the last 2 groups. Struggled to find descriptions the grid accepted as correct so perhaps think a bit more what could do in the answers box, but I know it's difficult to catch everything. Enjoyed the grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

zenster @ #58547: Rubbish (2 years, 9 months ago)

quodlibet @ #58544: Liked it, even though I missed the earrings. (it's spelled "cartilage", by the way.) (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58544: Something is wrong with the Crunch row. Also Cartilage is spelled wrong (which meant I wasted a lot of time thinking it was a surname). (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58536: Never heard of the shark as a chaser unless it's in a different country? Also literally typed in space and it didn't accept that? Didn't accept fictional for the other group - maybe need to update a few things. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58544: Managed to get most of it but the candy round is lost on Non-Americans. Not a criticism - just an observation! (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58545: Pointlessly niche. And the word that is niche about is not even accepted as the answer. Waste of time. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58543: Easy enough to find the groupings but one group can also be saints instead of beatles so grid doesn't really work for me. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58545: Categories are far too similar. Complete waste of time if you don't like rugby... You need to vary the groups a bit. 1 star for me. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58539: Disagree with kitkat - I think it's a nice spin on other grids so well done for that. Managed to get 5/10 as being from Scotland my English geography is lacking! But I think it was a good idea - the knowledge is varied but brings you back to a common theme within the answers so kitkat is way off the mark for me. Nicely done. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58475: Thanks Myriad - not musically educated so appreciate you clearing that up! (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58500: Thanks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Paul Simmons @ #58503: (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jay @ #58536: yeah, not sure where shark has come from for the chasers. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Billy @ #58536: the shark isnt a chaser (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #58540: @TopyandTim; you are quite right. Corrected with apologies. (2 years, 9 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #58540: It's called Night Boat to Cairo - otherwise enjoyable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kitkat @ #58539: These grids should cover a wide range of general knowledge and common knowledge. This one is way, way too obscure. Please watch "Only Connect" (2 years, 9 months ago)

Myriad @ #58475: C is sometimes used in musical notation as a substitute for 4/4, often called "common time" I also got 6/10 but very nearly figured it out. Got all the links though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nathan @ #58508: That Limerick clue was really tricky. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pookington @ #58540: Nice grid! I got 10! :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #58194: Very clever but unfair at 3 minutes. Should give 5 as everything makes you see red. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SM @ #58414: Great grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #58519: Including the British spelling of tire/tyre would be nice - this whole site is inspired by a round on a British show, after all! (2 years, 9 months ago)

WSR & SKB @ #58533: @Matty Mungbean, thank you for your comment! Both Reah and Rea are found as acceptable spellings. We hope you still enjoyed the grid! Best (2 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #58533: Mother of Romulus and Remus Reah, so Reah was excepted (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58530: Terrible. One might forgive the niche aspect of two of the groups, but please take a look at a map of France. As for the other two, I'm sure you made some of them up. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58531: Nice. Perhaps expand the building answers a bit - they're not only found in towns and cities. (2 years, 9 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #58519: Thank you - good fun but please allow 'tyre' for us Brits! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #58500: Very clever. And also enjoyable so V stars from me. Thank you (2 years, 9 months ago)

Josh Hoover @ #50881: Nice grid - I wonder if song titles is enough without the power ballads (2 years, 9 months ago)

PuzzBoy @ #58517: Nice puzz grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

CornWoman @ #58488: Inventive, but absolutely ungettable in the time allotted (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fat Skye @ #58414: PeRFect! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fiona Kearns @ #58490: Hard and easy - nice and nasty ;) "And that was just to the dog" Great grid tho, seriously. F. Kerns x (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fiona Kerns @ #58503: 'To course'? Ha! Great grid tho, seriously. F. Kearns x (2 years, 9 months ago)

SBLB @ #58483: Great crossovers. Could see the categories straightaway but it took effort to group them! Enjoyed this one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58500: Excellent, different and all the better for it I got the plot and still failed miserably You win 10-3 Thanks for posting (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #58483: Very good, intelligent grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mathelstan @ #58484: Interested to know which you think are obscure. Can see one of the fire category being trickier, but otherwise think they’re fairly standard. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Keith Bedson @ #58484: So obscure it is silly (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #58477: Very good, not seen the Crystal Maze so that stumpted me ! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew Pepper @ #58300: "binary" isn't a programming language and "potatoe" is a misspelling (2 years, 9 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #58477: Hey @Nighteyes. Yep, I did. And several people did. Surely even if you've not heard of one, the other three would key you in to what's going on? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kavango @ #46098: You should do more grids. This was a good one (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kavango @ #46104: Like the Pistols clue (2 years, 9 months ago)

michael and john and ben and hasan @ #44405: fantastic! love to see it! keep it up. :-) (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58177: It was a good grid until that homophones group. That is probably the worst grouping I've ever seen on this website. Other than that well done man, but seriously wow!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mist @ #58477: Loved this one, tricky but gettable! (2 years, 9 months ago)

michael and john and ben and hasan @ #38526: great grid! i'm proud of you! very strong. keep it up! (2 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #58414: waylaid by the polo. Good grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #58475: Excellent grid, loved it, despite getting only 6/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #58490: pretty good, nice and easy (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #58177: Three very well made groups. Homophones were reallly ridiculous. As to yve, it's easy to talk 80 years down the line. Why, if you are going to editorialize, did you omit LeClerc? Or the soldiers that accompanied them? May as well add Sikorski and PIlsudski, who, in your view of history, should have just stayed put, undermanned and underequipped against the foe/foes and be slaughtered along with their troops. You are a total idiot without any historic perspective or grasp of the reality of the history. The work the governments and military in exile were essential in bringing down Germany by being in safe havens and receiving the intelligence, disseminating it for analysis, and getting the job done. You're a moron. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58477: An "empire" in a fairly obscure spot, which lasted for less than 16 years, nearly 500 years ago? Did you seriously expect anyone to actually get that? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Trillium @ #58488: Fantastic! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kitkat @ #6219: Too obscure to complete in 3 minutes if your not knowledgeable on all things America. In my opinion. (2 years, 9 months ago)

REReader @ #58473: Well, I got one! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Charles Bingworth III @ #58251: Jolly good sport on that one. Real spunking good time. A delight for myself and the missus to solve together.

terriers @ #58446: Personally I liked the wall. wondered who or what Mars was, turned out it was also an anagram and red herring, well done, I heard of Meadow being called many things in my time but esoteric was never one of them. ty Kaphc (2 years, 9 months ago)

SBLB @ #58429: Nice grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

WonderSR @ #17728: Nice one, thanks! But telephone, television, telescope and telegraph are all objects, while teleport is only a verb, which can throw you off a bit! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58444: As per Nighteyes, had me going for a while. Maybe allow religious titles ? Good grid, you win 10-7. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58438: Excellent wall. I got everything except the alpha order group - then slapped mysef for missing it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58433: Aw man this was really clever, nice herrings and theming! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58446: Obscure nicknames is bad enough, but then going for anagrams of those obscure nicknames? Good grief! A tad niche maybe? Speaking of niche: meadow hall???? Perhaps you would consider instead writing a wall for the vast majority of people who every night thank their stars they do not live in Sheffied? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58440: Far too restricted for needed knowledge, interesting red herring attempts though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58446: Meadowhall is too esoteric, not a fan of Marshall either. Anagrams of football team names also feels way too messy. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58443: As mentioned; it’s Duct tape, not duck, minute mile using a thing alone and curry mile is very esoteric and colloquial. I’ve also never heard of a “skip yard”. (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #58444: Nice one (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58440: Very Very niche. Not just US but Iowa. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58444: I liked the queen red herring. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58443: Not duck but DUCT. The term originates because the tape was used for sealing duct connections. Skip yard? Minute Mile? If you are thinking of the term "four minute mile" then the "four" is a key part of that concept, so by itself, "minute mile" is meaningless. Curry mile? Is this some term local to you?

Anne @ #58428: I loved that 'herring' was simultaneously a red herring AND not a red herring (at least, not part of the 'red' group). Realised this while solving and have to admit it gave me joy. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #58435: For the boxing line, you need to allow the answwer 'Weightg' to be allowed. It isn't accepted at the moment. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58423: This is all a bit of a mess. You made 3 groups in an attempted cryptic format which hands out one group instantly. Without anything else to go on cryptic doesn’t work by itself, especially with a time limit. Normally there’s the letter count, eventually other letters to work from etc but none of that here. Also two weirdly bizarrely specific groups. Interesting concept, but this doesn’t work well. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58396: Referring to an astrolabe as a timepiece is pushing it a bit. I really wish we could lose the common theme of "songs on an album or by a particular band". Unless they have reached the status of general knowledge, e.g. Sgt Pepper, or Rumours, please consider them niche items wjhich ought to be avoided. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58316: The word "Oxford" in this case is redundant, because all the others are simply punctuation marks, so "comma" would have fit with the group. An oxford comma is indistinguishable in its shape from any other comma - it is only its position which is significant. That does not apply to the other three. As for your "In" etc. group, "dict" alone also works. In fact, it works better, because "indiction" is a decidedly archaic term, whereas indict is in common usage. Re "sand": did you mean "grit"? That would work, but sand does not mean that. The nearest I can find is MW includes an obscure definition meaning "firm resolution", which is close but no cigar. Concerning the "run" group, please avoid such ridiculously niche entries. (2 years, 9 months ago)

JB @ #58320: The Euros (football) also happened in 2021, 2016 etc. Also what is the connection for the 1066 group. You've just wrote what happened in those years, how are they linked? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #58316: I don’t like the use of abandoned words like “bene” and somewhat “pre”, although looking into the other answers I see it was for a vampire Weekend red herring with Contra… I band I knew nothing about 😅 Also Oxford Comma is just a rule about the use of a comma, it’s not a separate punctuation piece, I’d change that.

Freddgar @ #58275: Good one, but allow homophones. After that one is solved, the rest fall into place. Other than that a solid grid. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58251: Excellent grid. Best I have seen for ages. Even the easy line was made difficult because of the number of them. With a bad grid, when you see the answer, the reaction is, "well, how is anyone expected to know that?". With this one, the groups I failed to get provoked a reaction of, "Hmm, nice. I should have spotted that." Keyboard and countries were particularly sneaky. Very well done. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58230: Nice an easy, some good red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #58226: iota, not lota (2 years, 9 months ago)

craic @ #58197: two of the clues are the same (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lostinpuzzgrid @ #58226: Lota???? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58226: Agree with Cajun, typo on Lota. Otherwise nice and easy Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #58226: it's IOTA, otherwise nicely done (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58182: Tough. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58183: A really good challenging grid. Briefly made me feel cleverer than I am. Thanks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hanchaya @ #58175: Does anyone know how to fix spelling mistakes in your own puzzgrid? I was never emailed a link to edit my own puzzgrid but wanted to tweak it straight away! :-( (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #58204: Typed in "Ben" and "Squares" but not accepted ! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58212: nice grid man (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58212: Great grid - really enjoyed it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58061: Pretty straightfoward, a bit lacking in red herrings but me and my La Italian ways fell victim to index as part of the book. :D. Merry New Year, Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58155: Very high quality, La Italian seal of approval. Very good red Herrings. xoxo Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 9 months ago)

Robert Dukowski @ #50362: I remember Woodstock back in 1969. I was high as a kite listening to such hits as you've listed in this puzzle. POOKMAN6, this one brought me to genuine tears reliving the greatest years of my storied youth. You've done a lot to make an old coot like me happy. It takes someone truly amazing to recognize someone amazing and you my friend are AMAZING. Stay safe in these PUZZLEing times, Bobby D. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #50362: POOKMAN6 had a stroke of artistic genius with this puzzle. My wife and I loved this one so much we blasted it out by email to all of our friends (they're puzzleheads too :)) That being said, for your next foray into music related puzzlery, I'd really appreciate if you included some of my songs. Album sales have been steadily declining for a couple of decades and I think this is just the thing that can boost my social media presence. My PR agent said puzzgrid is the perfect place to start. With love and the utmost respect, Tom (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #55486: freddgar said it's easy but I struggled severely with this puzzle. is there something wrong with me? I had to refresh the page several times to ensure I could complete the puzzle. Just when I finally got it after my 15th minute, the real struggle began. It took me 90 minutes to find the connection between the groups I had stumbled to put together. Like I said, I struggled with this a lot. Freddgar said the problem lied between my headphone earcups, but I'm not sure what that meant. He's smarter than I am so I believe him. Thanks for listening, please reply as soon as possible. love, -Tom (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #1379: this one was just ok. Me and the hearbreakers had a tough time with this one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #58183: Vinnie f, could be Paul Whitehouse, I suppose. Comedy actors rather than comedians... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #57750: i'll tell you what, this one filtered me hard. I think I might be retarded. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #58190: The Yankovich songs are just "songs". There are no other songs in the grid so the Yankovich connection is irrelevant. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #58195: Easy but excellent! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tommy 212 @ #58204: I typed Square for the appropriate line and got 'incorrect'! I assume this is because you have allowed only your answer of 'Famous Squares'. You should correct this. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #58165: Enjoyed it, maybe a bit too easy though (2 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #58170: Worst grid so far, all on same theme, boring unless you area classics student (2 years, 9 months ago)

KizzyLion @ #58199: Great grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Douglas @ #58179: Excellent grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #58191: Yes you are right (2 years, 9 months ago)

Anisa @ #58186: Brilliant grid! Absolutely loved it :) keep it coming (2 years, 9 months ago)

Al @ #58179: Good Grid - like the red-herrings and range of ways the groups were connected, not just one idea repeated four times. Smart. (2 years, 9 months ago)

catty @ #58195: Good one. Most enjoyable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Liz @ #49723: Did you seriously think it was cool to make a category of songs about rape without warning people? This is gross and you should feel bad. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #58195: Enjoyed this TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

urbaer @ #58191: shouldn't the "r" be "rs"? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Helen @ #58120: Medium? No red herrings, easy groups! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Xyd @ #58188: one of my favorites (2 years, 9 months ago)

Plod @ #58186: Nice TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

jl79 @ #8619: too easy...shouldn't be listed as 'hard' (2 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #58153: Lots of interchangeable answers; everything in the Lily group could be in the Rose group. Crossovers are good, but there should be only one complete answer for the grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #51349: excellent work on this. if you'd like to use my name in the future, let me know. I'll allow it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom Petty @ #445: I'll issue a takedown if you continue to defame my name. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fanuche Tanz @ #57982: Nice job 👍 The under set could also be both nouns and verbs as a correct answer. But still,bravo! (2 years, 9 months ago)

only connect fan @ #1650: worst grid ever (2 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #58061: good overlapping! (2 years, 9 months ago)

quodlibet @ #57919: Clever idea - but a hexagon has six sides, not eight (2 years, 9 months ago)

dirtyp @ #58179: worst ever (2 years, 9 months ago)

JCVD @ #58177: definitely not easy but inventive and good red herrings, cheers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mazer @ #58182: Nice one, not too hard but interesting! (2 years, 9 months ago)

yve @ #58177: Nice grid but De Gaulle hid in London rather than stay in France and lead. (2 years, 9 months ago)

connected @ #58172: Pretty easy, but well-made. Good choice of categories and fun! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #58120: Not sure Ireland counts as a "colony", exactly. It was part of the same country. (2 years, 9 months ago)

kondja mia @ #58153: Hard, and therefore good. Nice one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Zameer Shahpurwala @ #24775: love u lorna (2 years, 9 months ago)

kondja mia @ #58163: Surprised i managed to get all these. Nice grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #58170: Four variations on the same theme, so you either know it or you don't. Not a very exciting grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

kondja mia @ #58167: I think "lilly" should be "lily", but fun grid. Got the "Nina" group with som educated guessing. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #58175: Which Hendrix, Grohl and Cobain are you thinking of for 1980s frontmen? The most famous Hendrix was already dead by then, and the most famous Grohl and Cobain weren't really known until the 1990s. And Morrissey has two Ss. (2 years, 9 months ago)

m @ #58175: Hendrix died in 1971, so that needs to be fixed. Also, Dave Grohl didn't become a frontman until the mid 1990s. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #58176: Easy but solid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

kondja mia @ #58169: Nice. Took a little while to spot the Eastern Red gorup but got there in the end. No luck with the Largemouth group though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thunder @ #58061: The big punchline of this puzzle for me was the realization that "emulate" starts with "emu." Love it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58122: Really good themed grid. Thanks for making the effort. Perfectly clear explanations of the answers. Well done. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ali @ #58117: You could also put them in groups of colours, shapes, numbers and letters. So there isn't a unique solution. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jleddy @ #58130: @SF7 Thanks for the feedback! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Vicky @ #57735: hahaha the caterpillar cake category made me laugh, really enjoyed this one (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58140: Yeh I enjoyed it! 7/10 as Ive never seen Downton Abbey! (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58130: I like what you've tried but the groups have too many possible connections for anything beyond guesswork. It's too vague. (2 years, 9 months ago)

allan @ #57867: Wien (Vienna) is not a German city ..... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jl79 @ #56565: To the commenters, it’s a USA-based puzzle so spell ‘color’ the right way! None of this “let’s add a U in the word” nonsense (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jl79 @ #57900: Perfect mix of red herrings but solvable (2 years, 9 months ago)

Trillium @ #58138: Fun! (2 years, 9 months ago)

craic @ #18769: posterior is spelled incorrectly (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lou @ #58138: Nice one! Clever use of aibohphobia 😁 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #58134: just silly (2 years, 9 months ago)

jleddy @ #29144: Don't forget D'Onofrio as "Thor" in 'Adventures in Babysitting'! :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

jleddy @ #41232: "Bands" should be acceptable for the first answer...obviously they are connected by their geographical name (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #58122: Really enjoyed this TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

jleddy @ #58098: Well done! (2 years, 9 months ago)

jl79 @ #58037: Terrible (2 years, 9 months ago)

Enzed @ #58122: Night eyes, the answers you seek are Jim Morrison and David Bowie (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aaww @ #58123: Thanks Thunder. My bad, fixed the typo (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57708: Excellent grid. A bit too easy to be perfect, but very good anyway. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58123: What on earth is "Ice Cram" meant to be? Please correct. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58122: Sweet and wizard work. Mud is ok except for the feet, which is a song by them, not a reference TO mud. As for the last group, it would have been more consistent and satisfying if it had been a reference to one single group as well. But even if you don't do that, then you should at least specify in the answers what the cryptic references are to. So, king of lizards and american knife? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thunder @ #58123: Absolutely beautiful puzzle. Would appreciate a spelling correction. I was trying to figure out for like the first third of the puzzle why "Ice Cram" didn't have that "e" in it. Beauty of a puzzle though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #58101: Good grid; controversial. (2 years, 9 months ago)

UStralian @ #58119: Those nationalities are all European (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #33026: Unlike certain fools in this thread, I, an intelectual La Italian gangster, can recognise what a red herring is. Well done! However, I personally think more leniency could be given with the connections on the small group. Good wall overall (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #58098: Im gangster gnu-o. I may be a la italian gangster but I do enjoy a good wall. And let me tell you, this was a good wall. :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fanuche Tanz @ #58037: UI read as User interface, as the lower case Looks like a capital i -- so it threw me off. Otherwise clever. Nice job 👍 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #58101: Very good, especially liked the Nchy row. You win 10-7. Thanks for posting (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58097: Beta etc, are also types of radiation - IF you include the fictional Omicron radiation referred to in star trek. The radio etc, may also be referred to a EM radiation (not just "spectrum". (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58098: Easy but enjoyable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58101: Top quality grid, if a bit easy. I particularly like Nchy and Y dan. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #58098: A fun one! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #58097: 'Wave' and 'oven' got me no points. (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58093: nice. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #58088: Never heard of the Book of Joseph... had to look that one up. Well done (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58094: very good grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Voidhawk @ #58093: Enjoyable grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #58090: I think you meant “ble”. Nice grid though. Thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Thunder @ #58032: Correction: these are not all of the names of sports teams from Minnesota, even professional teams. Minnesota United FC would come to mind. For that one, you could have put "United" or "Loons". That's me being very picky. Good puzzle. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Josh Hoover @ #57753: Teenager things is a pretty loose definition - I've done all of these things many times since being a teenager. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #7013: Nicknames for US dollar bill denominations. Not good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

G @ #58057: Once you find the first clue, they all slit into place (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #58064: Excellent grid. Based on simple general knowledge and fairly easy, but rewarding nevertheless, with some nice red herrings. 10/10 all round. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #58061: Excellent grid, cheers. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58031: Yeah this was a good one (tho no clue natch on the so what group). (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58014: Thanks for setting. It's fine but i set a grid with 3 of these groups in several months ago. This happens all the time I suspect. Mine had an "on the...." group for Button which gave "Go" as a bonus herring, which I was quite pleased with (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58039: MORTAL WOMBAT was on the show of course. I managed to solve this with zero wrong guesses despite not knowing what 2 of the groups were and having an incomplete picture of the third.... this is probably not a good sign. I think some of these were good groups but maybe they did not belong together. This probably means i am old and curmudgeonly. Perhaps i should add drunk to this list (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58061: Yep. Clean but straightforward. Light bodied but drinkable. Pairs well with a light starter. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rachelx04 @ #58039: I AM A COMBAT WOMBAT (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #58059: Albatross and Eagle can be interchanged, so this is not a valid grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shanni @ #37729: Good, but.... very niche. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shanni @ #37032: Going off the tone of the grid, I lost points by guessing the Disney princes may all be slang for penises. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #58037: I'm OK with the son, ex groups but the Ul one threw me due to the font. If I'd seen UL it might have made more sense. Still would have been thrown by Odinson and JonTron, whoever/whatever they are. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stop commenting about your own grids @ #57115: Weirdo. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58044: Too easy - no crossover between groups of red herrings (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58037: Personally - I think if you're going to do groups like Ex- or ___ son the parts of the group should all be the same. So for example, First born son and Simpson are different because the first one it's a separate word and the second one it's part of the word. Same with ex-girlfriend and exorcism etc. Maybe that's just me, but just makes it more consistent within the group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

SF7 @ #58038: Really good - didn't accept 'force' for the final group would be my only change! Nicely done (2 years, 9 months ago)

barry womble @ #58039: very good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Somebody @ #57988: Not that good. “Do” group might as well be “guess what’s on my mind” With just one additional letter on each there’s no real way into the answer. Lacking variety, overall. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #57944: Too easy. No red herrings. The countries with the red and white flags, are the only 4 countries on there, so the flag colours are not relevant. There are only 4 surnames and only 4 possible boy-bands. Needs some ambiguity to make it more of a puzzle. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57861: You have not specified a group title for the Palme group. Note that prime minister and president are not the same thing. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57862: Good grid. Easy, but a nice mix. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57867: Wien (Vienna) is in Austria, not Germany. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57875: You need to work on your answers, currently seems not to accept lower case terms. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57878: Nice grid, quite simple and easy, but LHC and DNA are not acronyms, just initialisms. Oh, and funny though it is, I don't think you meant to write "europhoria"... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Benedict Cuminsnatch @ #57849: A cunning linguist for sure. Keep them coming (2 years, 9 months ago)

pewpew @ #37982: 'the act of retrieving coal' is not really mining is it? retrieving suggests something you've already procured i.e. retrieving from the coal shed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #57878: Good beginner puzzle (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shanni @ #18282: Think my answer of 'can be followed by box' should have got a point for line one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57873: That was infuriating (in a good way)! I had several of the links but somehow picked the wrong years. Neat! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joel Thomas @ #57869: excellent excellent excellent. I feel incredibly stimulated after this. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bobbaker @ #57865: I didn't see the actress thing. I've since changed it. There is amazingly an actress called Bobbi Charlton, which is weird, but I think there's obscure actresses to match all the other names too, so I'm sticking with that. Obviously Julianne Moore isn't obscure. Just saying. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen @ #57865: Nice Grid. However, the group 'Ball, Hunt, Banks and Stiles' are all names of actresses as well as the connection that you had in mind when creating this wall - Lucille Ball, Helen Hunt, Elizabeth Banks and Julia Stiles (2 years, 9 months ago)

A&E @ #57867: A note to the -er foods group description: Wien is in Austria, not Germany. (2 years, 9 months ago)

A&E @ #57859: Nice and easy. "Understand" should probably be an acceptable option for the "realise" set though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cornelius @ #57866: Excellent grid my dear friend! Was pleasantly thrilled by the red herring on the methamphetamine terms! Sly use of chicanery indeed! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Winston @ #57866: "gear" was a solid red herring, enjoyable amount of subterfuge. 5/5 (2 years, 9 months ago)

James @ #57865: Enjoyed this fairly straightforward grid. I hope that was an intentional Athletico Mince themed red herring! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Quinton @ #57866: Nice gridding jeff! Perfect for any Australian (2 years, 9 months ago)

jeff @ #39029: should be a lower difficulty level in my opinion (2 years, 9 months ago)

catty @ #57833: Thanks for the comments. Glad you liked the grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rocinante @ #57833: Nice one, thanks. I could see the connections but couldn’t wade through the crossovers for two groups in time! (2 years, 9 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #57808: Struggled but got the connections except the naw/nee etc. This can also be homophones, I think. Thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57833: That was fun. Was lucky to pick the right 2 groups to start with, so solved it in under 45 seconds and didn't appreciate the redherrings until afterwards. Had to stare at the Jeff Ridgeley line for a while, to see that last connection, but I got there in the end. Very nice, thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

dgms @ #57849: I enjoyed that. It wasn't too cryptic or obscure, but I still had to think. I solved the wall fairly quickly, once I'd discarded the rude (was that a deliberate red herring?) group/link, which made me laugh. The Fist line was the first I solved, and I didn't get the whole link as shown in the answer, but I still got the point for one word connection I gave. The rest fell into place fairly fast after that. Very nice. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bobbaker @ #57768: Excellent f grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Meryl and Beryl @ #49709: Cool quiz man!!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

tiger king @ #57760: Your word clues were difficult because the common words came before and after the clues. It is better if you can be consistent and only resort to that when necessary or the clues are very unique. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #57688: of course the famous Beatle Ring Starr ? (2 years, 9 months ago)

dingus @ #33026: great one! (2 years, 9 months ago)

blue7 @ #57678: Oops. Got confused with Number 2 from Austin Powers. Ryker was technically number 2 but was referred to as number 1. Thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Core Crew @ #57678: Make it so, number one! (2 years, 9 months ago)

riahi @ #57678: nice concept, knew the groups but could only score 5! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57672: Not the best. Too many Elton songs with nothing to distinguish them and quite weak connections in the other groups. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57405: Sorry, forgot to add, on the guitar front, that 6 and 12 are also common possible prefixes, and other numbers of strings exist in certain niche products. I don't think any are still produced with catgut strings, but that might have been an option too. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57625: Nice one! Thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Rocinante @ #57671: Enjoyed this, thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57677: Nice simple one. Didn't remember the Donner party but the other three were enough to get the connection (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57656: I didn't solve it but I liked it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #57681: There are D and F battery sizes, and at least 2 presidents with middles names starting with C, so not a unique solution. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shanni @ #41311: That was brilliant, thank you. The only one I didn't crack was Tom Cruise, though I did put films. Too vague? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57405: @bigz, guitars can be nylon-stringed or steel-stringed, so it's a perfectly valid and not uncommon term. As a clue it made it a bit transparent, perhaps, but not in any way confusing to anyone that knows about guitars. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #57586: Changing N to M would make things a bit tighter. M is a base unit (like the other 3 in the group) and N is a derived unit. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57681: Quite good, except the initials group; disappointing. could have been almost anything. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57679: The French for fort is fort, château is not equivalent. And what language is Quila supposed to be? (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57665: A bit more detail required for the Steven group. I am still baffled by the answer. (2 years, 9 months ago)

decaidingus @ #30596: a reaaally good one, man (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #57586: Nice concept. Unfortunately didn't quite work. Too many possible right answers in the single letters mean there isn't a unique solution. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Butt @ #57665: Show or shows would've been right for the one group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #57508: (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57429: Overall, a good concept. Two of your answers made no sense to me. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Moondog @ #57663: Sylvester McCoy. That is all. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57422: Nothing that crossesover. Even if you have no clue who the characters are or the program is or was, it falls together. I would correct the spelling error as it does not look good. ISLAMABAD, not ISLAM BAD. Unless you wear a MAGA hat. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57407: pile of niche crap, top to bottom (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57405: Why stringed? No such thing as an unstringed guitar, if playable. No one says steel stringed guitar. That's is not a misdirect or red herring, it's confused and confusing. (2 years, 9 months ago)

ellie @ #30437: who else here from the nerd cubed podcats (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57660: I agree. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #57656: An easy one for children, I suppose. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57657: Good grid, I really like it but The Beatles 1969 I think is wrong. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ednem @ #57227: Great work! Merry Christmas to (w)all, and a happy new year! Ednem x (2 years, 9 months ago)

bardpit @ #57655: OKAY, NOW THIS ONE SUPER ROCKS! (2 years, 9 months ago)

bardpit @ #57645: now this one REALLY rocks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

bardpit @ #57636: wow this really rocks! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Scarborough @ #56704: Great grid! One note, "give" didn't work for that category when I typed it. Maybe a glitch in the keywords? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57632: Excellent. Trying to find reasons why it shouldn't work, because I couldn't solve it, but, annoyingly, it all seems to work as a wall - no answers I can swap between groups, no alternative solutions etc.b good (2 years, 9 months ago)

RobRab @ #56898: Oh, I can't change it myself, now, just have to hope people rate the difficulty high enough. Shame... maybe it would be a little less 'hitler' if the difficulty was rated real high. ;) (2 years, 9 months ago)

RobRab @ #56898: I'll change this one to fiendish... ... sorry... I'm new here. :P I didn't wanna do that 'cause then starting with an 's' seems too easy to fluke, maybe? That one's real hard, for sure, but hopefully some people get an 'aha!' from it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Catty @ #57609: Glad you like it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

F91W @ #57615: TY. First confetti of the day. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #47891: Nasty. I even guessed the Southern Cross connection, but couldn't see it on the Brazil flag, was taken in by the PNG red herring. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57611: I knew what a puggle was!! 😎 But I`m useless at `stars` so I didn`t know the Ryans🤣 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57605: Didn`t find any crossovers but still enjoyed it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57610: I WAS a bit surprised at the fruit that were berries but I Googled it and ur right-damn you! 😆 Otherwise i`d`ve got it all right in record time! Like 30 secs. Just a bit TOO easy perhaps. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57598: Enjoyed that-some really good crossovers that made me chuckle yet not too hard! Always good when u win :-) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57601: Why doesn`t 5 work for the Enid Blyton one? I read them as a kid & it`s Enid Blyton`s Famous Five!! So it`s fine. Pole Tudor & Millie I don`t understand even after googling them!!😆 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57597: But very innovative. Who cares how it`s supposed to work! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57597: Agree with Ace-I enjoyed sortying them out but I put swapped groups (not allowed) and swapped singers and backing groups (NOT allowed) ,Mixed up groups (Was that allowed?cant remember) before I got to mixed up musical acts.😆 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57559: It`s a Fire Pokemon-fooled me too tho` I got Pokemon (not good enough apparently) . Trick set is a bit meh! but I`ve heard of one trick means someone who can only do one thing-one hit wonder pop star for egs. Onyx-I`d `ve got it more easily if it had been spelled right. And who are all those Johnsons? 🤣 Never heard of ONE. ANY cross overs? (2 years, 9 months ago)

flatley @ #57632: terrible (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57603: ridiculous not to acknowledge group as a synonym for band (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57616: I got the countries group link "wrong" because the link was wrong (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57621: Weak. Two groups are too similar and therefore there is no unique correct solution. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Robin @ #57605: Good grid, thank you! But rocket isn't a type of lettuce. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Christo @ #57629: 10/10 no problem and I live in the UK. (2 years, 9 months ago)

roninotter @ #57590: The wrong flag was chosen, yes. Sorry about that. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #49722: Broken, all blank. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57616: @Horatio, TBF "the South East" is generally recognised as a geographic are as well as a direction. I didn't spot the incorrectly attributed flag, as I didn't actually get the group, but perhaps if it had been correct I might have. In 'n' out is, I believe, a drive-through burger chain. No way I'd have got that group either though, not till after the event. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Horatio @ #57615: The fact you have to point out how 'third' fits shows it isn't common. I listen to hundreds of hours of cricket commentary and have never, ever heard it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Horatio @ #57616: This is pretty poor. What is In 'n' out? South East isn't a place it's a direction. The flag of England is red and white, the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain is red, white and blue. (2 years, 9 months ago)

JJ @ #57452: Great fun. We need more TA grids! (2 years, 9 months ago)

EOS @ #24775: Fab (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #57625: Very nice grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #57605: Very good grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Horatio @ #57629: I agree - Mr Pibb (not Pib) is only sold in America, Sam's is only sold in Walmart in America as a sub brand. It's a bit daft to make a grid that is impossible to resolve, this is after all a site hosted in the UK. (2 years, 9 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #53013: Another great grid JollyCorpse. You should get a job for the BBC! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57629: Not good. Dewayne should be Dwayne. Saliva is produced by the Salivary gland. And two types of 'pop' which seem to be very localised, certainly not globally recognised. (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #41311: Fantastic! Loved every set - guessed some but enough going on to work it all out. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #57580: Superb grid. One of the best I've done on here. I spotted all of the categories pretty quickly but just couldn't pick the right ones. 4/10 for me - but a 10/10 for the creator. Excellent. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Very good @ #57620: This is a very good thing, played it in class with the creator and it was good. 10/10 would play again (2 years, 9 months ago)

Very good @ #57624: this is a very good thing. 10/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #57597: This isn't really how Only Connect walls work :( (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #57601: Good grid but I think the 'Five' category needs a bit of work. 'There are five of them' works for Westlife, but not 'Enid Blyton's Famous'. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #57619: Excellent grid. Really enjoyed that one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #57621: It needs much more variation - 'positions in rugby' is the same as 'rugby terminology', and then on top of that you have 'cricketing positions'. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nicky @ #57603: Loved it, once I spotted the links; answer boxes need simplified ; ty. (2 years, 9 months ago)

riahi @ #57611: Lovely, finally twigging Gosling wasn't a Ryan meant I could solve it! (2 years, 9 months ago)

riahi @ #57615: annoyed I didn't see the church group! good grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

bobbaker @ #57213: One of the first ones I tried. For some reason I thought the linking terms showed and would explain everything. Clearly I didn't check. You live and learn. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57610: Nice, but please recognise that it's the NATO phonetic alphabet. There are and have been other versions, even in the English-speaking world. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57605: Really enjoyed this grid! Thanks for posting! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57611: Great grid! Who knew that's what "puggle" was?! Cute! Catty, I think you mean putting rather than pitting? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Harlow @ #57611: Apparently that's been fixed now, Catty (2 years, 9 months ago)

Catty @ #57585: I stumbled on that one too. Not that I would have got it even if you did name actual Taylor Swift albums. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Catty @ #57611: Lost out on maximum points by pitting young instead of baby. Oh well. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57597: Quite easy groups, but fun. Not sure what you are allowing in the answers though. Nothing I tried worked without typing all the names in each group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Grynvt @ #57454: Ridiculous (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57578: cool (2 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #56966: Plural of university is universities not university’s. Barclays is a bank not a shop so businesses would be a better term. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #31366: excellent (2 years, 9 months ago)

supertailz @ #57505: surprise should have counted for shock, and i think frown for dismay (2 years, 9 months ago)

supertailz @ #57507: Please accept money as well as coins! Otherwise great board (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57576: Fun but easy. You took the `Only connect`no vowels round and made a grid out of it! Now squidge the words up -Only Connect puts all the gaps in the wrong places too-that`ll make it harder. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57590: Bit too American. I think you chose the wrong flag. (2 years, 9 months ago)

supertailz @ #57134: Good board, ditto on the need to take either just the word "synonym" or synonyms for decrease (I used diminish because that was staring me in the face:) (2 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #57562: So good! Took me ages to get Noah for some reason. Isn't Cain the answer though, rather than Abel? (2 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #57572: Great grid! Did you miss a 'the' in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Truth @ #57473: Boringly easy :( (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57585: Do you really mean Albums OWNED by Tay;lor Smith?? If so that`s REALLY NICHE information! I looked it up-it doesn`t seem to be Albums she recorded? (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57562: Solitary has it right. Answer should be Cain (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57559: Fire group made no sense at all to me. Must be niche, as suggested already. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57554: Nice job. 7 out of 8 you can ad -er and get a word. You got me. Ran out of lives trying to get the fit. (2 years, 9 months ago)

CD @ #57580: awesome grid - 10/10 just! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #57559: "Onix" should be spelled onyx - I thought the spelling was a red herring and so was avoiding putting it in the rock group. Not sure what "one trick" means either. Not many clues that can fit into multiple groups either. Hopefully your next grid will be better. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Commenter @ #57576: You left a vowel in one of the squares (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57535: "Revolver is not a song." Technically, neither is Flying. 'Recording' would cover them all though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57299: And I thought Pokemon grids were niche....... Why not find Japanese characters and throw them out at the masses? You win the award for the worst grid I have yet to see on this site.

Gridlington @ #57474: Very good! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #57513: 'Wax' does not mean 'speak' - it is the opposite of 'wane', but there is the common expression 'to wax lyrical' - where 'lyrical' is the word implying speech. It's a bit like mistaking 'very' to mean 'clever' because of the construction 'very intelligent'. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #57511: Very good. 15 seconds to spare! Once I eventually got the Wii one, the rest followed reasonably quickly (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #57480: The moods is a poor category. Very easy to guess the group, but almost impossible to guess the link. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #57487: Eye, romance, line, china, young cannibals, times, dining, and art all belong to one category, and guess what - I tried every combination of four of them except the one needed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #57493: 'Wave' works as well. (2 years, 9 months ago)

kondja mia @ #57486: I put "computing" for the relevant group which comes up as incorrect. I'd always put "comput" instead of "computer" into the recognised answers when designing the grid to cover stuff like that. Nice grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Avenger @ #6198: Since when does "Walls" not work for "famous walls" - Not impressed by the batman clue either. This grid belongs in the one star category. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57145: Video game etc references are way too niche for general consumption. They are only for very limited audiences and otherwise are hopelessly obscure. Solving that grid takes pure luck for the vast majority. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57129: Tough if you leave the birds 'til the last 2. Chrsitmas geese are as valid, if not more so, than the partridge, but I think that's a regional thing. There are 2 L's in Russell. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57330: Nice one. Thanks for not insisting on the 'Modal', couldn't remember the word. (2 years, 9 months ago)

xandre @ #57370: Not good (2 years, 9 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #57359: Liked the idea but couldn't see crossovers. Didn't accept mushroom, ungulates, physics or snowman. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57370: Really nice wall. Nice range of different kinds of word links. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Anon @ #57359: The connections need incredibly specific phrasing to be marked correct. For example, 'snowman accessories' was not accepted, nor was 'energy forms'. It is possible to be more generous? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57360: No fun at all for me. Nothing about the birds themselves, or anything cryptic/hidden. Two groups based on specific comic publishers, which I found impossible to separate, and two groups on sports, in which I have less than no interest. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57346: No idea what Steven Universe is, but they're also all gems, so I'll have the point anyway. Are there no characters in it that aren't named after gems? If there are, swap one of them in if you want the very narrow and specific link to be valid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #57078: Damn, I thought she was called Skunk :D Fun grid cheers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57359: Yes, as MK says, the milk connection isn't really right - animals farmed for their milk would work better (or ungulates, which is what I put). Other correct answers also seem to be missing - I tried mushroom and wave in the singular which weren't accepted, and snowman also wasn't allowed on its own. (2 years, 9 months ago)

MK @ #57359: I wrote "hoofed animals" which I feel is a more specific answer than what was listed. Mammals in general make milk, but these were actually a subcategory of mammals called even toed ungulates, known for hooves that stand on two toes. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57357: Very good, failed to solve the wall. Only got two rows, good set of red herrings. Used the 3 lives. You win 10 - 6. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57346: Steven universe? A tad niche maybe? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57341: Some good ideas,but I'm afraid it doesn't work as a wall. SPOILER - Conjuring can be swapped with Hereditary, or any others in that line, as Con is also a boy's name, and they're all horror films,so the wall has at least five equally valid solutions, which isn't supposed to happen. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57329: ditto (2 years, 9 months ago)

S @ #57337: One category consists of three not four terms. It's the same idea four times over. Not a creative grid at all. Boring. (2 years, 9 months ago)

BitcoinLuver900 @ #57323: Go on? REally? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Usurper @ #57324: @ Langers - I originally put impotent instead of portentous, because it was funnier in that group, but then thought portentous was a good redherring (not) to go with Forboding. I was very pleased with Lightwater. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57308: Nice ideas but Peter (there two Peters that fit the link in the Lucy group) can swap with Lucy, so there are at least two valid solutions. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57307: @ Langers. I spotted her group first, and she was the second answer I saw for that group - I watched 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' a lot during lockdown. The 'not Toilet' group was the second I got. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57213: I don't understand this. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dot @ #57146: Excellent fun - and stretching enough to make it stressful (for me anyway) I only got one row in the time - which says more about me than the quiz! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57194: Nice. Took ages to spot the tic tac line. Thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54950: Shame it didn't accept like and dislike for the positive and negative opinions groups. I'd have got 10 then, even though I know no Spanish at all. Terrible grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #57274: No it isn't Mr Libido, red herrings are fine but there should only be one possible correct answer (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #48977: Scored five, though I've literally never learned a word of Spanish, just made two groups from things with similar word endings, and one group from the shortest words, then guessed that was past tenses. Two groups where you have to specify that they're from school rules? This is pointless (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57250: I managed ten. Ashamed to say I got the most 'highbrow' connection by guesswork - knew three, but never heard of Rocking. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57307: Good, but too 'wordy'. I liked the group that looked as though it was all slang words for toilet. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bad @ #57102: your answers are bad (2 years, 9 months ago)

bad @ #57247: bad (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #57227: Well done, I thought that grid was very good, it gets the la italian gangster gnu-o seal of approval (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne Guess @ #29320: Great grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne Guess @ #15242: Characters from Winnie the Pooh are also Friends of Christopher Robin. Otherwise, very enjoyable. (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #4642: nut not accepted, and America is not a country (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne Guess @ #55166: Excellent - really enjoyed this. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne Guess @ #55363: I couldn't get the sound bites to play! (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57245: Another fun one! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Schwifty @ #57275: Enjoy the grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

dave @ #57250: Sorry JP, I did not know that, have changed it (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #4610: Cheese? (2 years, 9 months ago)

JP @ #57250: "H" stumped me, even though I'm Australian, as it wasn't used in the title here. (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #4503: Wouldn't accept plant products? (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #4459: Killers not accepted? (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #4418: should take baking (2 years, 9 months ago)

JP @ #57185: Also stumped by the Henry group. Not only couldn't make the connection, but not familiar with even one of the four things in the group, so I was never going to get it. Looked them up and they're reasonable, just outside my experience. (2 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #4359: What's a yellow card? (2 years, 9 months ago)

dave @ #57264: it is a valid grid - however it is gutter worthy - avoid 0* (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57262: Wall completed - easy. Line 1, easy, line 2 easy, line 3 easy then line 4 WTF [for me anyway] made me smile - thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

Yup @ #57225: It's crap. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #346: I'm a big Adam Sandler fan, but only his recent stuff. Specifically Jack and Jill. (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57227: I enjoyed that. Was hoping you were going to explain Boogaloo [I will have to research. 3 films to end with nice. TY got your 5* from me, I got confetti from you (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57254: Brilliant grid! Thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57255: Great grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57250: Very good, grid. Worryingly I got only the Mumm's and Dad's rows. Hate to think what that says about me 😉 You win 10-4 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57254: Good to play, couple of red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

pat @ #13724: i agree bob (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57039: You can't be serious................ Insanely niche Wasted 3 minutes of my life I will never get back (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57031: The Christmas Story, It's A Wonderful Life, and Die Hard are probably the 3 most watched films on Christmas in the US. Die Hard makes perfect sense over here.And, it doesn't have WIll Ferret in it, thank God. (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57254: not difficult but pleasing non the less (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #57254: I very much enjoyed it. You may want to expand the acceptable answers in future grids though. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #57200: If I wasn't eating as I type this it would be making me hungry. Good grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57016: There is no leeway. The ring and superhero groups fall out hurriedly. The number of possible combos with the remaining - 3 strikes and you're out. You have to just be lucky before running out of lives. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Brooke @ #57219: Good grid, ty. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #44919: Really had me going there. Thanks king (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57249: Sorry, more explanations added. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #57210: I got two of the groups, which then effectively gave me the other two. One of your elements was a little skewed in that it isn't the gas but the motion of it that is normally named. (2 years, 9 months ago)

yosserh @ #57249: I think you got too involved in your own "red herrings" which I had to study long and hard afterwards to "see" e.g. moon and king. This has the makings of a good grid, but unfortunately it did not work very well. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57249: No idea why this is duplicated (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57248: My first effort - be gentle with me;-) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57237: Tricky one! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57244: Nice grid! I didn't get the Nedry group. Well done! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dogma @ #57190: Great grid. The synonym group was really hard - didn't get the link word, but got points for 'synonym' - which felt like I cheated. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57245: That was brilliant! Well thought out! (2 years, 9 months ago)

dgms @ #57183: This started off really well, with good lines, but the other two spoilt it for me. On the bright side, I don't feel annoyed with myself for not seeing those two links, even when the groups were sorted out for me. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57246: Great grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57244: Fun grid, but the Samuel L Jackson group would be much better if you either used all character names or all actor names (one would almost certainly stay the same). (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57209: quite right Ace (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57209: forecastle (/ˈfoʊksəl/ ( listen) FOHK-səl; contracted as fo'c'sle or fo'c's'le) (2 years, 9 months ago)

EOS @ #57219: Excellent. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57209: Your misspelling of forecastle is a red herring too far. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57183: Very good TY! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57196: Enjoyed this TY! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57220: Very nice TY! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace of spies @ #57210: Very nicely done (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #57239: Not my favourite. Maybe I’m a ___ loser :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #57200: Nice and simple. Thanks. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57209: Tricky and clever WD! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57204: Got waterlogged on this one TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57199: That was fun! (2 years, 9 months ago)

katycat246 @ #57235: so eazy got it first try 10/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Alexi @ #57235: this is garbage. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #57233: *** (2 years, 9 months ago)

craic @ #57230: there is something really wrong with this grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57230: dude? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #57158: Very well done...I saw Muscat and Rabat but never made the connection to the others.... 7/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #57176: Non-living things... there's got to be a better way to phrase that or connect those items. (2 years, 9 months ago)

richie rich @ #57225: obscure niche nonsense (2 years, 9 months ago)

isaac @ #57225: Absolute, utter garbage. I have no other words to describe this puzzle as I have acquired depression and suicidal tendencies due to this puzzle. I hope you are happy with yourself, Gecktoplasm, as you have gained a mortal enemy today. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #56731: But not scouts? (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #57012: What in the world is T Pain. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nanda @ #49886: One of the best grids I've come across by far. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #56983: Misspelling, misuse of terms, one sensible group and one clever. Don't balance the bad. Sorry. Not 2 hot. (2 years, 9 months ago)

MehMeh @ #57217: You haven't actually said what the connection is in the answers (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #56885: **** (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #57200: **** (2 years, 9 months ago)

a_redo @ #57134: good board! the parameters for connections are way too strict though. (won't even take synonyms for the 'synonyms of decrease' ??) (2 years, 9 months ago)

chanale @ #57178: I am editing to change out "dame" for something that fits better and to add "titles" as an answer! I didn't intend it to be "words in other words" so much as "words that are still words without the first letter" so I didn't think about that TBH. (2 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #57213: I still have no idea what connects these - I'm guessing they are based around sports teams of sorts but the answers don't tell me what connects them... as places or (if they are sports teams) who connects the teams... (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57213: Some explanation of the links would be nice. One had some and one was sort of obvious, but the other two are completely opaque (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57167: Grid is broken. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Louise @ #56885: Great grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57200: cool (2 years, 9 months ago)

Louise @ #57200: Great quiz! Banana bread is my favourite (2 years, 9 months ago)

Kaye @ #57200: Loved this one (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #57167: That's not four connections, that's just one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #57170: There's definitely at least one example here of the setter attempting to use a trivia question that absolutely does not work in this context. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #56885: I agree with Mack, take note of where the setter is from and be mindful that you might not understand fully some of the clues. I enjoy doing some of the foreign grids as I know I might not get 10/10 but I might learn something new. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Gangster Gnu-o @ #57205: Good effort, but too North American for me, notourious la Italian Gangster Gnu-o (2 years, 9 months ago)

a_redo @ #57178: okay grid. should really accept 'titles' for the "nobility" category. generally when a category is 'words within other words' like the S category here the words are connected in some way so don't love that one but otherwise pretty solid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57197: Bristol etc. are no doubt connected in many ways. For example, they all host Russel group universities. Not a good group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57203: Should that be tiger tail? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hypatia @ #56885: Well done (2 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #57185: Well done... stumped me on the Hill group... 7/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

F91W @ #57160: Ty (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ruth @ #57166: Great grid! I managed it in 2 minutes 55 seconds. Made it with five seconds to spare - high pressure! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #57183: Definitely not a successful grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57041: Anagrams that aren't real words in themselves should really not be used. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57160: Just missed out on the confetti as I didn't get the transport connection. Great grid! Thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57167: Enjoyed this grid! Thank you! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57186: Great grid! Thanks for posting! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Est289 @ #57200: Brilliant grid! (2 years, 9 months ago)

pat @ #30982: i like (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57166: fun (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57106: Great, but I didn't like way the Big group worked - three things that make a phrase with the link word, and one thing that's a variety of it. I loved the Eyes group (2 years, 9 months ago)

JD @ #57170: Sensory? (2 years, 9 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #57078: Exceptional (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57166: Couldn't even begin to solve this one (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57196: Loved the carpet line. Failed with the Russian line - Russian's the only one I've heard of in that line - if you'd had lagoon in there, I'd have guessed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57190: Has anyone managed to get the right link for the Party line? It's very specific. Apart from that this grid was fun and not too fiendish. Loved Jocks :D! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Katy @ #57177: Good grid, but please make sure 'colour' is accepted too (you didn't allow 'colour', but allowed 'color' (US spelling)). Sorry for being pedantic! (2 years, 9 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #57196: Top marks. Liked the "Shot" group; very original. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #57005: Nice grid. It was a lil ez but thanks anyway (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57099: A real groan-fest, that one. 6/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57112: no, tie and magic can be swapped (2 years, 9 months ago)

Emsy @ #28959: Ayyy big up Xander Armstrong (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57112: Red scare? Blue nose? Where do you get these from? At the very least you could try to explain them. And you misspelled lightning. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57186: Nice change, having solved the wall my first thoughts was " No this cannot be" , but it was 😁 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

chanale @ #57180: There can never be too much John Finnemore! (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57192: lense is a typo (2 years, 9 months ago)

chanale @ #57178: That's gentry, not nobility! Honestly "dame" is the one that I should probably change bc it's an honorific. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Ruth @ #56885: I liked it (2 years, 9 months ago)

starfairy @ #57151: Really good one. TY :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Core Crew @ #57166: Managed it in 2:13 but there are four of us :) Excellent fun. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #55602: Spelling. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #57179: It was good but simple. Practise always, chanale, practice makes perfect (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57190: Very nice, thanks (2 years, 9 months ago)

J Silberman @ #57186: Thanks, Ace. Yes, it was not meant to be difficult. I included some, but not all, other words and I was avoiding multiple words. (Giving 'synonym' as a connection gets the point!) (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57167: Title is incorrect. Happy not Merry. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57128: The rag group is terrible, two of the clues needing a second level of abstraction but two simply adding the word. (2 years, 9 months ago)

dogma @ #57074: Only two of the monkey group are monkeys. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RMP @ #57178: Esquire has nothing to do with nobility / gentry. Any male person is esquire if they are pretentious enough to use it. (2 years, 9 months ago)

dogma @ #57183: I've read the answers, but I just don't get how two of these groups are groups. (2 years, 9 months ago)

dogma @ #57187: Fun. Tricky, but not too hard. Some obvious ones balanced out the obscure/too well hidden things. The Margot Fontenye misspelling really gave that link away. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57135: Nice one. Nearly failed at this - never heard of rum with that link, but had a guess because of the others in the final (for me) line. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Usurper @ #57183: Two nice lines, but not a great wall. I agree with Igor & Malcontent. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Usurper @ #57187: Good one, especially Bunty, but vary it a bit with some general knowledge/straightforward links. (2 years, 9 months ago)

superhans @ #57160: very enjoyable grid. thankyou! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57183: @igor the spinoffs group made no sense:one homophone, one misspelling with a k instead of a c, which made it s different word which doesn't sound similar, one completely different word which doesn't quite rhyme, and one not quite homophone- too inconsistently connected to the link to make a group. In the 'charger' group, eardrums really didn't work for me - I thought the other three just about worked, but eardrums was just wrong,: (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57186: Quite clever idea, though not too difficult. But you should also allow answers that don't use the specific word, like 'time off work' 'go away' etc. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Igor @ #57183: Spinoffs! Really? They are sort of, but not quite, homophones - and of a uncommon subject. Did anyone get that group? Also, charger isn't quite right - there's an 'in' missing. The other two groups are good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57157: Pretty sure England never had a Queen Bertha. And two of your Matildas need some explanation. Oh, and it's IWO Jima, not Iow. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57183: Loved the restrain and breathing groups. The other two just didn't work/make sense - eardrums really doesn't fit with the connection, and the quarts group doesn't hang together at all. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Malcontent @ #57187: Very nice ideas and neat red herrings, but all 'clever' wordplay connection s, and the grid as a whole felt messy. Loved the red herring Ninette De Valois connection, and the gran line. 7/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57166: Could probably have got them all, or most at least, but only if I'd had about half an hour to work them all out. Did anyone manage it in the 3 minutes?/could (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #57160: Fairly good grid, but time to retire Cluedo colours as a category! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Pookington @ #57180: Yay for John Finnemore! :) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #29264: (2 years, 9 months ago)

Yup @ #57168: Truly awful. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fam @ #57046: Well, no one could have predicted that! I know there’s a lot of controversy re not letting all the lapped cars through but it did make for a very exciting end and to be honest I was glad as mid race it was all very inevitable and had become quite dull. To finish a final under a safety car would have been very anticlimactic. Bring on 2022 and more close racing! I’m going to try to see a race in person next year. Have you ever attended? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57164: Very good, one nitpick. Holland isn't a country it's The Netherlands, but that would have spoiled the red herring. Well done. Thanks for posting (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ruth @ #57164: You've spelt Hiddleston wrong - there's no 'e' on the end, so I missed that connection. Other than that there were some good red herrings. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Maggie @ #57146: Thank you so much for your feedback, this was my first attempt so it was much needed! Hope I've got it right now... (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57136: Good 4*. Would have been 5* except for jude B. Good grids should be based on general knowledge, not obscure sporting trivia. I only got ten by assuming the reference was not to Linda, when all other options had been exhausted. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Tweed @ #57044: Yeah, about that grid?…If you could just leave it on my desk?…that’d be great. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #56994: Confused.Foxtrot is one Ballroom dance the others are types or styles of dancing-replace foxtrot with Folk or Line perhaps? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57000: The crazy set drove me bananas!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57014: Some good crossovers. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57018: Nah! Queen is ALL of the group and 2 of the others only needed an `S`. (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57151: loved it. 6/10, just ran out of time 5* (2 years, 9 months ago)

Roberta @ #57146: Agreeing with Patrick here, not a unique solution. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #56911: Niche groups never a big hit. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57022: And Granny is NOT an Apple.Granny Smith is an Apple. Hiding it`s cheating. I might well have been alerted to that group if that name had been correct. Spoiled a good grid with easy mistakes.Soz. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #56909: Another correct answer for your flag colour group would be that they are all landlocked countries. That's what I went by and solved the grid. (2 years, 9 months ago)

bigz @ #56898: Try Shot instead of host. It wauld be totally consistent. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57031: I laughed at the duplicate when I realised! :-D (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jimdas @ #57149: I love making these! X (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57082: Agree with deez! Bit too easy for a `medium` really.But hey it`s good to get 10/10!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57082: Agree with deez! Bit too easy for a `medium` really.But hey it`s good to 10/10!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57102: Ok but Jesus birth is often called the Nativity and Heavenly bodies is a little more specific than astronomy-so I got 10/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57130: Easy for pop music lovers! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57137: Mustelids must be noteed correct as well as weasels!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #57146: It`s NOT easy because there are so many cross-overs and as Robin says more than one solution. And also ways of expressing the names of the groups. (2 years, 9 months ago)

RBR45 @ #57137: good grid - very easy but needs answer to be correct so accepts plurals (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57130: enjoyed it both times, thankyou (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57136: Linda Bellingham - now I see what you meant :-), smashing red herrings, good to see this as grid of the day. (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57046: WOW - WOW STINKS! Bring on 2022 and Russell? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57129: Well done, good spread of subjects. Nice red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Brooke @ #57099: Really fun! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Patrick @ #57146: Holly and Lily are both plants, Ivy is a forename - so there's multiple correct solutions to the grid (2 years, 9 months ago)

Maggie @ #57146: Looking at this again I think I should have made it very easy rather than easy but can't see how to edit that part! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57130: This was fun, cheers. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #57130: Very good grid. Nice and straightforward. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #57136: Excellent! TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57127: Nice one. Once I'd spotted how Neville and Stanley were connected it all started to fall into place. Still a few unknowns but the combinations helped. (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57127: wowser - took three refreshers to see where you were going with this one (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57046: I didn't read any more comments until this morning, just in case. Yeah, eventful, for sure. I'm hoping that starting on the softs will make Max vulnerable later in the race, assuming that he gets away at the start. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57134: Easy, good. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57135: Good one. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57072: @Matt, no there aren't. The answer is quite carefully worded because of that.It doesn't say 'add mouth to make a town', it says '...rivers with towns named after them at their mouth.' Not sure how that implies there'd be two M's in Plymouth. I can only assume you've not looked at the actual answer and just want to make yourself feel better after scoring badly on an easy grid.

Baron @ #57075: @nighteyes - if you have a look at thesaurus.com and Merriam Webster, both have ‘gall’ as a synonym for bug (as in the verb to annoy). A bug can also be a device planted on someone to track them. It can also mean a type of virus and an insect. Bug has multiple definitions, hence the challenging group. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57099: Terrific, loved it! TY (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57106: Thanks (and you have given me a useful idea too!) (2 years, 9 months ago)

Hamburger @ #57112: The idea is good but too many crossovers (2 years, 9 months ago)

DanieleManieleBaniele @ #57101: Another EXCELLENT puzzle from my favourite puzzgridder! How does DannyManny do it!? Surely the most comprehensible puzzle on this site with clear descriptions of each category. Every day I wake up and thank my lucky stars that I live in the era of DannyManny, truly the Albert Einstein of his time! What a rush!! (2 years, 9 months ago)

onefromthemodem @ #57078: Very enjoyable (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #57096: Enjoyed the grid, ta. I would only say that someone who plays football is more commonly known as a footballer. Rugby, tennis or snooker could be valid replacements. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #57078: One of the best I have played for a while. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57074: Hmm, interesting. In my previous comment, I wrote ape does not equal monkey, using symbols, but it has chosen not to display the symbols. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57074: Apemonkey. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57075: Gall does not equate to bug in any way. Tracker is in the same category as bug, but not the same. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57078: Different, but easy when you get the hang of it. Extra time not needed. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57096: A nice, easy ten. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57095: Tbh I was quite pleased not to get any of them. Obviously lots of radio hosts , but I wouldn't watch any of the shows if you paid me (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fam @ #57046: Sorry to anyone else also. St John, how are we going to discuss without ruining it for anyone else 😬 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fam @ #57046: REALLY sorry Ace ( that is a genuine apology ). I sent that before I saw your comment. I haven't got a sky package either but was too impatient to wait for the ch4 highlights tonight so followed the free live commentary on the F1 website instead. Hopefully you stopped reading as soon as you saw the subject matter. Great that Sky are letting Ch4 show it live tomorrow. Who are you rooting for? (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fam @ #57046: Haha St John, I have only just this minute finished reading the qualifying commentary on the F1 website. Aaarghh, I just don't know. I was glad Verstappen got pole though as the mix up with the tyres, and the overall mix on the starting grid with Bottas down in 6th is going to make for an interesting start and race. I think if Ham had got pole there would be a good chance he'd win and that would be boring. Should be an exciting start and first corner! Will Verstappen get away on the softs, will they tussle at the corner, will Norris keep out of the way ( I love Norris ), what strategies will come into play??!! I just hope it lasts the distance and we're kept on the edge of our seats 'til the end 🙂 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57046: Can you take the F1 comments offline for a bit please? Some of us won't see it until later when it's on CH4. (2 years, 9 months ago)

dogma @ #57054: Thank you! The whole grid started with the 'Hen' line. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57067: Nice grid rather spoilt by your Olympian group containing not even one of the original "Olympian" gods, seeming to just be random ancient Greek figures from fact and myth. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #57054: Great. Knowing the Hen link, and spotting that line first really helped. Don't know how anyone growing up without Oor Wullie etc. would solve this wall. Having the Hat and Hoo groups in one wall was evil, but excellent. 10/10 (2 years, 9 months ago)

Ace @ #57069: Quite enjoyed doing one in German, but didn't like having to give the answers in German too. Isn't there an option to specify the language? (2 years, 9 months ago)

stjohn @ #57046: Hi Fam - rooting for Hamilton just so he can get his 8th. Getting tyred of Max's whinging, but he is quality and ruthless, Schumacheresque, iF Hamilton gets through the first corners unscathed, then job done - but its a big IF. A must watch race - enjoy! (2 years, 9 months ago)

Fam @ #57046: Hi St John, gave this one a little go as I thought it’d be rude just to message about f1 without doing a grid. Enjoyed this. Got them all apart from the ador link but you know I’m never good at the wordy ones. So, final race of the season and they’re showing it on ch4 now! Going to be exciting! Will they crash?! Who’ll win?! Who do I even want to win?! I just hope it’s a close, edge of your seat finale! (2 years, 9 months ago)

james @ #57068: Tough, especially one of the categories which has a very broad list of potential answers which result in too many red herrings (2 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb @ #57064: Nice flag choice (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #57048: The b is not actually silent, though. If it were, the word would sound differently. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #57062: Awful. (2 years, 9 months ago)

MK @ #57053: I feel like there must be a better way to word the caretaker group, since they're not actually opposites, but I don't know what it is. The rest of the group had needless prefixes, so caretaker threw me off. (2 years, 9 months ago)

Mack @ #56885: I personally do not get complaints about country-specific clues. If you're playing a grid that's not from your area of the world, you should expect to encounter some unfamiliar clues from time to time. I do love it when grids have global appeal but they certainly do not all need to be that way. That said, great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Luke @ #28219: It doesn't take "insult" as the correct answer for the "make fun of" category. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #57054: I thought I saw so many possible connections with geographical features and ancient languages like Anglo Saxon, but you burst my bubble with your so logical answers. Well done, a truly diabolical grid, but one I might possibly have solved (if I was a genius) as none of these groups are actually outside my knowledge. You have my true respect. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #57015: Amalgam is also spelled incorrectly. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #57056: You sent me completely the wrong direction on the Wonka group. Nice difficult clues. I could have got it but totally missed it and that's on me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

NichKnack @ #57041: I actually really liked this one. I started by thinking "wtf, why don't I know so many of these words? Darn trivia-heavy puzzles". My fault for assuming they were all real words. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #57036: Nice effort. Made more difficult by having just names, so even if you correctly guess at one or more groupings there's a fair chance you won't know them all. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56885: @NichKnack, I wouldn't worry about it. As you say, there are tons of country-specific references in lots of grids. Yes, dinner roll as a term is specifically American, but I've certainly come across it on TV or movies, so it's not exactly an uncommon term, and could easily be inferred from the context even if you don't know it/ (2 years, 10 months ago)

RBR45 @ #57041: Good grid 10/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

NichKnack @ #56881: This entire puzzle exists because I thought of the sun category and it made me smile, I'm glad you enjoyed! (2 years, 10 months ago)

NichKnack @ #56885: The reason I decided to do the insurance category was because I came up with Farmers market and then thought it would be a good red herring for that categoy, but as an American routinely frustrated by super british pop culture on their gameshows, it's something I'll be a little more mindful of in the future. Thanks! I don't know if dinner roll is American in particular, I guess as an American, it never really struck me that that term might not be universal (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mr and Mrs. Smith @ #56983: My wife and I are serial puzzlers, in fact we have been frequenting Puzzgrid since our wedding 60 years ago. We come from a long line of proud puzzgridders, and have raised 5 little puzzgridders ourselves. We have never, in all of our time, come across such a brilliantly crafted, fiendishly difficult puzzle. It was Winston Churchill who, at our wedding, first said, when you're going through Hell, try a puzzgrid. Thank you DannyManny, for bringing back such beautiful memories. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JDeGrant @ #56983: I am afraid I too have found this PuzzGrid “fiendish”. The Links which found at last were at best irrelevant and disappointing. I have been playing PuzzGrid for 4 years and this is one of the worst I have come across. DannyManny please sort your act out before sending such ridiculous grids up. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56925: @ Ace - it does work. They're not synonyms of each other, they're all synonyms of a different word, with several meanings, which appears elsewhere in the grid. It's given in the answer, which you'd understand if you'd read the answer. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Steve @ #56836: Think you’re right about the anagrams, just wanted to mix it up a bit. Only real red herrings (chip and Beethoven) were singular. They have to be to make it work. Unless you mean cards and gamblers as singular, which probably would “look” better. It’s just usually there’s plenty of each in casinos. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Brooke @ #56774: Fun grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #56839: Links a bit sketchy. Typo in cranial which means the link doesn't work. Doesn't recognise British English spelling. Sol link is very weak, I think meant to refer to tonic sol-fa? (2 years, 10 months ago)

goat VERSUS fish @ #56831: Truly this is the mighty versus, for the fish do swim in the puzzle, as do the goats frolic on the puzzle. For this puzzle is no versus, but versus is the puzzle. Versus. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Charles William Kirk Jr. @ #56727: I do have to say that I did stumble on this site looking for nissan motors site, but it was because I assumed if I typed in "www.nissan.com" i would arrive there. I see no problem with finding Nissan Computer corporations page here. he bought the page first. he has used the name for years. its obvious that it is a computer retailer. Also, there are many companies that don't have domain names that match their company names. nissan, I suggest you get a different site. don't push the little guy around. Mr.. Nissan, I wish you the best of luck. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56696: Needs more explanation in answers. Is there another connection for the presidents, for example, as that isn't accepted? (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #56737: No, just watched an old movie with Klaatu - [Mum said he and my dad could have been twins], then the rest followed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #56737: Bit of indigestion? : D (2 years, 10 months ago)

Neil Marshall @ #33156: Ant, spider, super and iron - I gave the connection "men" and it said that was wrong. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #56673: Well beyond me but if you didn’t have the pokemon line in there this could have been a good fiendish grid ( I appreciate it’s just personal preference about the pokemon thing but it’s such a huge group to call from that a non player would never get it ). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56732: That's just silly. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mollie @ #56708: All good! Best grids ever!!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Murdo @ #56720: Good themed grid to get the brain into gear. It does have an ambiguity that Iced can be swapped with Black (or Instant?) although your solution is the most usual way round so it is easily enough solved. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lostinpuzzgrid @ #56726: Bicycle cost confetti (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #56667: Haha Murdo, join the gang 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Murdo @ #56667: Hi Ace, Horatio and Fam. It was Fist that threw me and, yes, maybe Man should have as well but I knew that one! It's an undefined line where some piece of knowledge is either general or a bit too 'how was I meant to know that?'. I'm happy to not know things. Which is just as well, really.

Josh @ #50918: Totally agree Yoanka. Emperor as well, and almost hangman (hanged man), which feels very intentional. Very much enjoyed this one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #56645: Hi Fam, crazy race, dodgy tactics "cheating" or "gamesmanship"? Bring on Abu Dhabi. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #56667: I agree. All seemed doable to me. I missed the Man connection but should have got it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #56667: I agree with Ace - there were no red herrings I could see so every group slotted in nicely. The only thing Murdo might be referencing is the 'Man' one, but nothing else in the grid fits that line. For info the 'Man' first appeared in 1963. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56667: @Murdo. Yes, it's annoying when you don't know the answers, and they can sometimes be so obscure that they don't seem 'fair'. That's kinda the point, though, isn't it? Not sure what part of this grid you struggled with, all seemed clear to me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Murdo @ #56667: Solid grid. Good range of groups. The ones I knew were easy enough! Slightly spoiled by a cultural reference that passed me by (when there are other more generally known options). (2 years, 10 months ago)

How for now @ #56607: Good grid. Could perhaps allow 'produce hormones' for the endocrine group for those who remember the system's function but not it's name? (2 years, 10 months ago)

How for now @ #56603: Great grid. I would suggest allowing spreads for the flora group as these certaintly aren't all butter (but rather vegetable/ sunflower/ olive oil based spreads like margarine. (2 years, 10 months ago)

sircol man @ #56505: dumb (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #56636: Quite a decent grid. The accords vs. capitals red herring links were just plain nasty and a bit numerous, and because of that I’m not 100% sure the solution is entirely unique. I’d have to double check for interchangeable clues. Regardless, a worthy first attempt. (2 years, 10 months ago)

sircol man @ #56565: This was good but you need to accomodate to non-US spellings of "color", and you never explained the links for the singers and coffee terms, this sucked. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Anne @ #56626: There's a spelling error here that threw me - it's bon appetit, not appetite. (Writing it with the correct French spelling would make that category a lot easier to find I guess.) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #56639: I had fun doing this. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #56639: Sadly, ba.le and ru.le are interchangeable, so the solution is non-unique. (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #56597: Ah the vagaries of language, dialect and accents, To my ear [Yorkshire] "Pet" is more North East, Tyneside, Northumberland areas. Puddin' same area and Scottish but used more as a soft insult "ye daft puddin'. I have heard "Cocker" used on it's own as a greeting similar to "mucker" in the south Yorkshire, Derbyshire region., and I think "Duck" is quite widespread among older generations. On the other hand I could be completely wrong. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56580: What Malcontent said, although I wasn't even able to make the fast food connections at all. I did like the aid group though, not one that I've seen here before. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Midge @ #56595: Good one. I loved the Christmas ref herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56582: very poor. Two of the soap items have no apparent link to it, the "cod people" makes no sense even if you meant CoD. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56586: What's with the box group? Only one of them is obviously related to the given connection. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56546: I failed at this, sorted two lines, saw three links. Couldn't get past coal for lignite, and tried everything but xxxv as the fourth in the other line. Really good. (2 years, 10 months ago)

I have crabs @ #56588: dude. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56580: Two groups were really good, one was fairly random (three half names of food outlets, and one mascot from one) and just don't see. I don't understand how ballpoint (pen), safety (pin), grenade (pin?),fire extinguisher (pin?) work as a grouping. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56586: Two groups were great, but two made no sense even with the answer revealed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56595: This looked a lot more Christmassy than it turned out to be. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #56570: Please explain the mater group! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56570: Very good, but I'll have to Google the link for the Alfredo group, as your answer makes it no clearer. The Al dente group isn't nice, logically - two methods and two degrees - it's like making a 'steak' group from rare, blue, grilled, microwaved - I got the group, but it's not satisfying. (2 years, 10 months ago)

nupa @ #56573: most of these make sense, but I have never heard of "opening" an orange; you slice or peel it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

nupa @ #56590: I think having more than one set based on the bible is a bit excessive. (2 years, 10 months ago)

nupa @ #56572: Nice! I was stumped for a while looking for a "dark side" connection, haha. (2 years, 10 months ago)

nupa @ #56569: I'm disappointed that "ducks" wasn't the theme, I was proud of knowing that one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Enny_Gima @ #56573: I liked it, but I feel like Orange and the other fruits could be switched around and still be valid. Also I think something like "Stock Price" or "Value" would work better than just "Stock", as it doesn't entirely make sense as is. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #56551: Great grid, keep them coming (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56544: I really like it until the final category! You can't have two different categories in one? Different spelling and slang words. All four need to be the same. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56546: It was good but for some reason one square in every category is incredibly obscure. A waxy substance found in whale's intestines? An obsuce mineral corundum? Mineraloids that are the lowest rank of coal? A song that reached number 9 in the 1970's? One of these was in every category and I'm all up for a challenge but it was so out of touch with the rest of the grid. It's not for me but if other people like it then fair play. I would look for more consistency with the level within the grid myself. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #56546: Diamond grid, hard work gone into this. Well done. Good all round general knowledge. Phew !!! 24 seconds left on the clock. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56327: Lightning* not lighting. The clues aren't actual clues, they're just vague words/references with no real meaning. No variety between categories. 1 star for me (2 years, 10 months ago)

Blackbeard @ #56519: zehahahaha (2 years, 10 months ago)

Evan Miranda @ #56541: I think this was pretty ok, I would like it to be a little harder and better topics. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nathan @ #56327: Vaguely relating to a favourite character isn't a good connection between clues, and connecting walls should cover a range of subjects. If one connection were marvel, it would be fine, but all four is too much. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56545: It's nice and simple but I prefer a bit of variety with the types of groups personally (2 years, 10 months ago)

sophia @ #55607: quite a few of the foreign words were spelt incorrectly. i.e: its je'mappelle not je'mappel (2 years, 10 months ago)

Colmac @ #56540: Brilliant. Too good for me. But brilliant. (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #56271: Agree that angelica is a spice and not an herb. Lavender is an herb. The WY towns group left me spinning and I got nowhere thereafter, even though the OC group was right there. Fiendishly constructed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56493: Too much overlap between the jacksons and the biblical figures, with nothing to tell them apart (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #56267: Great wordplay. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56265: As the previous comment says, a bit too easy. There's nothing to throw you off. Also, when using terms for the groupings at the end always use the singular as it allows more terms to be accepted. Thank you for the grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #56266: Much better use of name confusion than your last group. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #56265: If you get the Potter group, the others have no red herrings, no crossovers. I never saw Brooklyn 99, but knew the others in a heartbeart, so, that group just fell together. If at least one name crossedover, that would have made it slightly more difficult. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56531: Enjoyed it but might need to update the bad religion group. I typed in bands and it wouldnt accept it? Other than that it's a good grid, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #55111: Only issue is that you did not opt for 5 minutes. The delineation of the groups is tough without pen and paper at hand if you can't worm thru one group quickly. Very good work on your part. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56536: Loved it! Can't believe I couldn't think of a feather boa though!!! I could see all the groups but couldn't figure out which squares to put in them!Got 5/10 in the end. Very good grid, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

LL @ #56519: Good (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56455: Good ideas, but a greatbwall. There are at least four 'red herring' answers which make up pairs of answers which can be directly swapped, meaning there are at least four valid solutions. Ariel and Beatrice can be swapped (Ariel is definitely a princess and Beatrice is a redhead). Change Beatrice to Eugenie eliminate that problem. Also, in the old Disney cartoon , Tweedledum & Tweedledee are redheads, which means Tweedledee could swap from the twins group, with Fred Weasley in the redheads group - in the book Lewis Carroll doesn't mention their hair colour, or them being twins.

SF7 @ #56344: Wow! Mate, honestly it's just a bit of feedback. You're now criticising my feedback based on how you think some people pronounce the city I'm from - incidentally a word that does actually contain an R. It's a fine grid, I just one issue with that. For what it's worth I saw Edin-burra so your argument is flawed. I cannot believe such an innocent bit of feedback is being met with such passive aggression?! Anyway, I'm going to stop replying cos this is getting ridiculous. Have a good one mate. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #56434: Thanks for the comment Aetees. I think there are some cases where the consistency of how you select the words does not matter at all, perhaps with film titles for example due to the ambiguity of words like 'the', 'it' etc. However, I do think in this case you are right and the consistency makes the solution a lot neater so i have made a slight change. :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fredric baker @ #56429: I would much appreciate it if I could edit some of my work, i got one of them wrong and it is really annoying me, I also think that it was right anyway por favor give me the points. Yours sincerely, Fredric baker. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #56434: I enjoyed it. I do think that if you are picking a single word out of a title there should be consistency in how you select the word. E.G. all the first word or all the last word. Good on the whole though, thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56418: Good. The groups work and couldn't find any pairs of answers that could be swapped between lines(despite my best efforts, as I was annoyed at failing). Too hard for me to finish (solved two lines, found four links after time). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56433: Quite good. Two really, really annoying red herring groups.Challenging to spot the groups, satisfyingly logical links - shame they were all word puzzle based. (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #56344: Hi SF7 - no offence intended I was intrigued how you would pronounce that word. I tired all sorts of accents in my head, then remembered you were from Scotland where there are many accents and dialects. I see now you are from Edinburgh [Edinbraw , Embra local variants] but I believe Ed-in-bruh is phonetically correct. Now to claim to know exactly where the "r" should be in a word is a bit rich where this moves from after the "u" in the spelling to after the "u" in pronunciation. This makes me smile. If I set other grids with the risky homophone aspect and I miss, please please feel free to let me know :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #28959: @j, Many non-pc computer keyboards have separate keys, and functions, for (carriage) Return end Enter. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #56344: I assure you I'm absolutely fine. As I said in my first comment - overall a good quiz. But your argument suggesting I'm expecting everyone to conform to me pronounciation is both false (I am not suggesting that) and reversible (the writer should not expect everyone to conform to theirs). I would dispute that the 'majority' of people pronounce Stalk like that, the r sound should be absent and that is a linguistic fact. Like I said though, a good quiz I just wanted to question that. These quizzes need to be open to all feedback and I included the area I felt needed improvement. That's all. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56344: @SF7, I think you're the one getting your feathers ruffled. While we can all be aware of different regional pronunciations, you can't expect everyone to conform to your own. For the vast majority of the English-speaking world, Stalk rhymes muck more closely (even exactly for most people) with Stork than it does with Stock. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56383: The boat "control" group doesn't really work in your very narrow definition, three of them similar but the fourth only tenuously connected (yes, I know what the keel does, but it's not an active control like the others). Simply boat parts would suffice. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gary Lee @ #56409: I have found this site by accident and I hate to say this but----This is one of the most ridiculous, unfair and unjustified lawsuit I have ever heard about!!! I strongly suggest that the Nissan Motor Company Stop harassing small companies and allow them to go on their business. Why don't they use a name as nissanmotors.com or whatever. On the Nissan.com web site it is clearly stated that if you are looking for Nissan motors please go to nissandriven.com or something like that. The owners of that site did not even have to do that but they were gracious enough to. If this is the case then ANYONE with a name can take anyone to court for a name? OK well then I should sue whosoever owns www.garylee.com for that web name? it does exist, I may be older than the person who owns that website, therefore since I am older than him do I have the right to "STEAL" that name from him? or force him to give it up? IF I do want it THAT badly then my alternative would be to approach the owner and offer to purchase it from him, and since it belongs to him it is his decision to decide if he wants to sell it and what price he wants for it! If I so down and out as not to be able to purchase it then I have to do without it.. Maybe someone with the name of Wendy should decide to take away or file a lawsuit against Wendy's for that name too.. and so should thousands or millions of other companies or individuals, hell let us take everyone to court. Come on people this is ridicules.......... I do wonder if this has anything to do with anything cultural??? if so this could become a suddenly blown out of proportional and even become an international issue. these are my thoughts.

E @ #56310: Literally the definition of a snack is that it is not part of a meal. Hors d'oeuvres are meant to be eaten before a meal, the appetizer is generally the first course. So they are not all parts of a meal, you need a different definition. Also, cil, guin, and dant all become single words when "pen" is added at the beginning. Penstate is not a word, you have to add another n and make it two words so it doesn't work as a group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Only sorted them because the tempo ones were clustered together so I saw them first, then noticed the others and had a go at putting them together as my third line- not really satisfying. Abigail group was good, and it was nice to have a musical terms group. 2** (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #56265: Nice wee grid. I didn't know the names connection. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Oli @ #56244: lol, sorry Ace, my autocorrect changed "x-men" to "men". Toad, Gambit, Storm, Bishop (and beast and angel as red herrings) are characters from MArvel's X-Men comics. (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #56267: I enjoyed that- a nice mix of general knowledge wordplay,and one simple definition group, but it was frustrating to have so many red herrings (three) for the only straightforward line. The Red line and the Collapsed line were excellent fun. Thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #113: Good, but not great. Fair enough to be strict about counties vs provinces (though I feel Ireland or Irish should have been sufficient, really) but I'm pretty sure corollary doesn't strictly mean result. I'd have solved it in less than half the time if that group had actually been genuine synonyms. I've also never heard of duff as a synonym for steal. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #56172: Sorry about the poor connections, although I don't think "All X are Y" is necessary for a valid connection, just "X are commonly Y". Most clutches have a pouch, and most pies are round. If you watch any cartoons, movies, TV shows, Three Stooges shorts, anime -- you will be very hard pressed to find a non-circular pie. You can also google image search terms like "Clutch Bag" and "Pie" which will echo the common understanding of what these items look like. Most grids revolve around connections like "Sharks and Jellyfish are found in the ocean," "Armstrong and Rover have been to space," but this doesn't imply that all sharks are found in the ocean (Seaworld would have a word), or that every person with a surname of Armstrong has been to space (The fuel costs would be astronomical!)

Ace @ #56183: Ridiculous. The numbers in each 'group' actually have nothing specific in common with each other. No point making a grid impossible when nobody is going to feel, once they've seen it, that they should have been able to work it out. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56152: Yes, far too niche. Lots of related terms to confuse you, but none of them are actually related to the real groupings, which is what makes a good red herring. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56170: Better now, good job on the change (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #56148: The deities are equivalents of each other in Roman and Greek mythology, and are associated - often depicted as a pair, so these are two names for the same pairings, so they go together regardless what they represent, and 'love' isn't really the main thing they represent.

Malcontent @ #56137: Really good grid but impossible to solve, because Marker and Float could be swapped over between their respective groups, so there are at least two different valid solutions, when there should only be one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #56156: Thanks, Malcontent, that was good. The Best group and the Temptation group were excellent.

pedant @ #54693: orinoco spelt incorrectly (2 years, 10 months ago)

matheusVS @ #56105: I just watched an old Only Connect episode where anagrams of colours was a wall group and "lube" was one of the clues, amazing (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gridy @ #56116: I think you should allow a more obvious and simplier answer for the "phrases". Hope I don't spoil it too much. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Griffin @ #55863: I really liked the concept, but unfortunately I rated this one poorly because it isn't possible to rule out the last two categories. Juno, Pluto, and Minerva can all be excluded from planets, but Jupiter cannot, and he is also a Roman god. Because all of the items in planets are also Roman gods, there was no logical way to separate the two categories with the given amount of lives (only chance) (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #56093: Fun grid, thanks. FYI (not a whinge, just thought you'd want to know) the 3 letter answer to the Market group generates an "Incorrect." (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #55664: Not sure what I DONT LIKE IT's problem is. Quite obvious, just one error - 16/21 is incorrect, should be 18/7 (2 years, 10 months ago)

A @ #56084: Needlessly convoluted. Small Ruddy = Red Dwarf? Really? Come on. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #56089: Good grid, plenty of red herrings. I should have got the King row, but hey ho... You win 10/7 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56084: Good overall, but resistance to acceleration is confusing, and wrong. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #56005: Almost an excellent grid. Very clever. But a bit frustrating that it marked me as incorrect for specifying Mate, Bud, Chum and Pal. The words themselves aren’t actually synonyms for friend - just the first part of the words. Be good if you could expand your accepted answer for this category. Otherwise good fun. Thank you.

stjohn @ #56084: Hi Aetees - Holly is the ship's 10th generation A.I. hologrammatic computer. For many cooking the annual bird on the day is a nightmare. As some say "just a bit of fun". 🎄 sing "The Rimmer & the AI, when they are both full on...." will it catch on?😉 (2 years, 10 months ago)

puzzled @ #56081: #56031 also repeated - why? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #56084: Very tricky. To be honest I don't fully understand parts of it even having seen the connections, annual nightmare in particular. Also if I am being pedantic the hologram is Rimmer, the other is a computer AI. Quite inventive though. The groups I did get were satisfying. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #56060: Yes, klipper, where "worst" means "lots of stuff I don't know, and don't think many people would". I felt that too, but isn't that the whole point? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Almost got a full house but my literary ignorance let me down. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #55991: Capitalising the names makes that group too obvious. And the answer "agent" should be accepted, not just the plural (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #55992: Add "length" to distance group answer (2 years, 10 months ago)

rosiepose @ #55974: Good grid, but I think it would be better if you tried to do categories that there weren't clearly four or five of. As in, it's really guessable when you see five obvious movie titles or full names, whereas the walls on Only Connect tend to be a bit more obscure. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephen Walton @ #56023: Ace - thats a homophone. however i put they could all have first letter replaced with H to make new words so i think i deserve a point (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56020: Good - especially liked the Nonet line. Couldn't solve the whole wall, one line seems tenuous and a line or two of knowledge based rather than word puzzle would be nice. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #42198: I love grids with a common twist. Very good one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #35374: Nice, simple and friendly to younger solvers. Maybe "kid-friendly" should be a category for people to browse, some of these would be nice brain teasers for children. :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #56020: I really fell for the abbreviated names redherrings, and wasted half a minute on them, but I got there in the end. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #8403: The T- and -saw categories were great, and the dance category with Tango and Jig was just the right amount of confusion. Took one star for using brands as a clue because only 2 of them are internationally recognizable, but that's par for the course with these things. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #35648: Definitely fits in the easy category for me, but I enjoyed it. The bean clue is quite common, so it pops right at you after solving a few of these. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #44800: A bit too obscure for people outside Britain, I think. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #37982: Uniquely fun. 2-3 words per group are all you really need to guess the common clue, so there's always a bit of fun in finding the last word that fits. :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #56017: Loved the Nonet group. Would be nice if there was a knowledge based line/group among the word puzzle ones though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #50918: It's rather interesing that Star and Wheel of Fortune also fit into the Major Arcana clue, and Tsar also fits into the anagram category. Not difficult, but a nice grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55993: Nice TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #15868: Very easy, nothing was there to tie the categories together and create red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yoanka @ #30982: This one was really tough for me. I completely missed the clever anagrams and I thought the clue was related to sports teams, singulars of sport team names or something (Yankees the baseball team, Canucks the hockey team, the rest I had no idea about, but I'm not well informed in sports, so it sounded plausible). I've never heard someone call Australians "Kiwis" or Brits "Poms" before. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nb @ #55950: A tricky one. Just 4 points for me. The nose group was a bit too abstract (2 years, 10 months ago)

speilberg @ #50152: diese niegar konnen suuk mie nutz (2 years, 10 months ago)

speilberg @ #56010: dis mudda (2 years, 10 months ago)

JP @ #55970: As Widger, says, Nixon does not qualify for his group, although he very likely would if he had remained President longer. More technically correct would be to replace "Nixon" with "Trump, again". (2 years, 10 months ago)

neighthin @ #33026: @cx and nick, that's how this works, most grids have red herrings even on the actual Only Connect show. But there is still a unique answer since Minute and Times are required to complete NYC. It's only a bad grid if you can swap two answers and it still works since then it's not unique. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Flamingo34 @ #56011: Really enjoyed this! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bredbeddle @ #49111: noice m8 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #56001: 0/10 for me. I should have picked up a few of the clues before reading the group explanations. More fool me. A truly excellent grid. I might have scored midway, but your red herrings totally fooled me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #5491: This grid needs removing. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #47100: very witty (2 years, 10 months ago)

FactGuy @ #55995: Thanks! I really appreciate it! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephanie @ #56003: Fun puzzle. (2 years, 10 months ago)

James @ #56003: Nice puzzle, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55995: Liked that! And loved the fact that I got the Cruel Summer line despite guessing that they were all songs by Bananarama 😂 Good connections. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55993: Thanks Hamburger. These are good as fun easy ones ( if you’ve done them before ) as you can quickly pick out the groups once you’ve found the connection in one example. Still took me a minute and a half mind you 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #25128: How did Lorna even start on these? How did she keep coming up with novel ideas like this and then think, “yeah, I’ll construct 16 examples of this and fit them into groups”. Incredible mind. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #56001: Enjoyed reading all the connections even though I didn’t get them. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #56001: truly movie buff territory (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55992: Managed two groups but all the connections. Nice one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55988: Really liked that, especially as I got it with seconds to spare and my last life. Got the dip line with a different connection in mind ( - out ). Had some different examples in mind for the pebble line but pebble sealed it as Jmelb ( I think ) had mentioned those to me once. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

AMX @ #55370: 👍 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55990: Thank goodness for Flanders. I almost didn’t get that one. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

quodlibet @ #55988: Deceived into looking for some connection with your name. Not up to date with my slang, I'm afraid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55992: Thought it would be easy, lots of herrings well done, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Sally Wheelwrong @ #55992: Golly gosh, was this hard! I was pretty darn salty when I couldn't get it. Overall, I'd give it a solid 10/10, even though I'm Wheel"Wrong" most of the time. But this time I'm definitely not! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #25128: would have been perfect with a little more time. . . and if i had a pencil and paper! kept forgetting the words (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #27584: I missed tis first time around. As Louise says "so clever & Fun! check it out (2 years, 10 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #27584: SO clever and fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55979: @Freddgar - agreed Kitty not as well known. This was from his New Masters Album [this single got to No 47 in the charts in 1967] a bit more obscure, but I wanted to keep a pussycat theme running through the puzzle. (2 years, 10 months ago)

AMX @ #55990: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

gridleyscott @ #55740: I am gridley scott. How DARE you steal my name - Sent from Samsung smart fridge (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55969: Everyone a winner ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55990: Rob Orbinson cracked me up. Very high quality made grid, unfortunately I really need to brush up on some of my general knowledge. I got the theme straight away but still couldn't crack it. Hats off to you, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55989: Not much effort in this. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55979: Excellent grid, Kitty ?? got most of his LPs, well I'm from that era. 'Tother two were a guess, but got 'em. Couldn't place Una. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55988: I got it with about 5 seconds to spare. Tougher than it looks, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Basil @ #55989: Awesome numbers (for Primary kids!) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55987: Very clever. Loved the English line, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55969: Excellent fun to do grid. Not sure if Aces belongs in that group technically though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

rosiepose @ #55987: Tricky! Liked the Microsoft (Word, Edge, Office) red herrings. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55984: Entertaining as always. A well deserved plug BTW, keep 'em coming, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55987: Liked the word line. I always end up reading a capital ‘i’ at the beginning of a word as a lowercase ‘l’ so that threw me. Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55986: These come up every now and again but they still take me quite a few tries to get right. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55982: I agree, the size line spoiled it for me otherwise pretty good. (2 years, 10 months ago)

__ @ #50257: Should have accepted "facial features" because that's what they are. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55984: Ahh, thank you 😊 Got all the groups but wouldn’t have scored much on the connections by your exacting standards ( don’t forget I rarely bother to type them in ). For one I didn’t notice the meanings, I just saw what they could be without the beginning. (2 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #55957: Great fun, thanks. Didn't get the final group's connection as I couldn't fit Sky Plane with the rest. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55982: Shame, but Britain and Auk are interchangeable and have to agree with Ace the Size line needs work, but ty anyway (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #55982: The mediums are a bit random, to say the least. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55984: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55975: Excellent grid, so much fun. 5 stars. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55976: The orange line is a bit iffy; so many others could fit in there. Other than that a good grid, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55978: It checks out but frustrating to solve. Cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55978: Sorry for the misidentification again Dave. As for dave, well here’s another nice mess…. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55971: Oh of course, how silly of me 🙄 Sorry Dave 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55980: The meerkat line was a bit hard but a good fun grid nonetheless, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55974: Yes brilliant. Point Break line very clever - I didn’t get it 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55971: me dave sml "d" lol - apologies to Dave (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55981: 5* simple pure grid, took me a little while to get my first line, kinda fell into place after that. Ty Hamburger (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55971: Oh Christ, so Dave’s not you St John?! I think I’m going to have to start writing some of this down. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55979: Another excellent grid albeit very difficult. Loved the lifeline line, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55980: Quality, quality, quality 5* well earned me? - 2/10 meerkat (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55979: This is more like it 😀 Exact same scenario - two I knew, two I didn’t, one refresh - but this time pleased to learn the new connections and back to your usual 5* 🙂 ( I was trying to use that flippin’ ducat too ). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55979: Excellent grid - a real d'oh moment when i realised where lifeline should be . TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #55978: Think along the lines of Elon Musk or the Kardashians, any thing can be or not be a name or not a name. Good initial idea Dave , but....... oh well ty [still wrong Fam😊 ] (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #55971: I never bat, I flutter ty Dave [think you wrong Fam lol!] 7/10 for me a strong 4.75 stars for you (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55978: Gah, I didn’t mark you down btw, in case you think that was me! ( you were off your usual 5* though 😉 ) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55978: Hmmmph, got the Iris type group distinctions straight away, but even refreshed to try to sort the remaining two groups to no avail. Can’t argue its validity but still feel a bit hmmmph 🤨 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55929: Great grid, well done, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yup @ #55895: Having both Chevy and Dodge brands makes the grid a little same-y, in my opinion. Enjoyed otherwise. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Yup @ #55954: Tony Stark group is pretty flimsy. Rest was fine. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #55840: Didn't like the deliberate misspelling tp make one of the clues+red herrings work, (2 years, 10 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #55969: Nice and easy, but some clever red herrings there. Would be good if you could accept "NYC" for the relevant group (although perhaps I just shouldn't be so lazy!) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave Coram @ #55969: Just right... (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55929: @ St John 🤦‍♀️ (2 years, 10 months ago)

OtterK @ #55974: Really loved the Point Break row. One that you feel over the moon to get! Brilliant grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #55969: Enjoyable but very easy (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #55929: nice easy one, you're a fun guy Theo. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55971: Think I know it’s you this time. Got two groups but annoyingly didn’t put another together even though I guessed three clues. Missed the false eyelashes as what would they have to do with cake. Wd again! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55970: Good grid - although I dont think Nixon technically belongs in his group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ace @ #55948: Yes, too many possible, equally valid, groupings, with no logic used to get the "right" ones. Shame. (2 years, 10 months ago)

OtterK @ #55969: Really enjoyed this. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #55958: Very good. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55966: Went down a F5 Famous Five S7 Secret Seven rabbit hole. Excellent grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55929: And grid of the day 🎉 ( I’m letting you know this now as sometimes ‘grid of the day’ only stays for a couple of hours ). Wd! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55937: Brilliant and your best Erodoeht! Made me smile 😊 Loved the Governess line, the trick you played and a line that I just didn’t see. 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #55963: Fiendish, for sure! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55929: Only your second grid and already getting glowing reviews Erodoeht, well done! You’ll be hooked now and constantly trying to think of new ideas. I thought I’d only post one and now I’m forever scribbling things down on pieces of paper 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55966: They need to create a category beyond fiendish for your grids. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #55929: Maybe the best grid I have seen on this site. Varied, intelligent, difficult but not impossible. Well done. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jackie Chapman @ #55535: Nice one! Just tricky enough. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55958: Hahah, Stjohn has wayyy more than me! But his clever style often gives him away. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55958: No, I’m just me Jmelb. I think it’s only me, you, StJohn and your aliases that are on here 😄 I highlighted it for you in the comments. Maybe you did it a while ago but thought meh. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55957: Thanks Hamburger. Well crafted and nice ways in. What does it say about me that when I’m thinking of making a similar grid I’m thinking of how to disguise it and make it more difficult 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

alexboi @ #55948: Good idea but poor quality. A lot of numbers can swap groups with each other and still work. For example: 2 and 10 could swap groups, and 90, 8 and 66 could all swap places with both 50 and 78. This often times makes it impossible to finish the grid without heavy guessing, even if you've somehow figured out the connection. You need to avoid that. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55958: Fam, where on earth is it? I must be blind-is it in another name? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55958: Thanks Fam - another alias : ) stj- homophire lol! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55956: Hi Ace, I never really get this. I know of stridor through my job, but wasn’t familiar with ronchi which I looked up and both are there. That’s what I see as part of the beauty of these grids, the chance to learn a new word or fact. Now computer game characters, that’s another matter….. 😄 Thanks FactGuy, managed two connections but missed the memo link and you know which other. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55958: Very well done! I managed a measly 2/10. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55889: I noticed this was your first grid erodoeht. I think it’s quite a good grid.

Widger @ #55890: nice idea - quite tough that the Mark group uses a non-english word for the grouping (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55886: Good grid - had the same question as persona gallica about the Jennifer group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55872: Pleasantly perplexing but I got there in the end 🙂 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55871: Glad to finally sort out Taiga etc but Vintage line didn’t translate to a UK audience. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Persona Gallica @ #55886: What is the link between Cameron Diaz Keira Knightley Margot Robbie Jennifer Lawrence? Just giving full names in the answer doesn't help here. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55882: Liked that. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55883: Nice idea Widger. I was surprised by how many of these I got. Helps that I had one of these groups in one of my grids and that I learnt the word uva in a recent grid. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #55883: TY, that was fun! (2 years, 10 months ago)

M @ #55883: Très difficile (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #27541: Thanks for highlighting this one Louise. I begin to see stuff too, so sometimes get the groups without quite knowing the link. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #55844: Great grid! I didn't know the steam locomotives. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55868: Was thrown by not knowing fantasy. Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #55850: I enjoyed that! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Roy @ #55886: Great (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55866: Cleverly confusing. Got away with 4/10. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55851: Nice bamboozling set of words. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #27541: Lorna, I love these!! I am deffo getting the hang of how you work which gave me a 6/10. Such a happy day when i came across this site and your puzzles (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55877: Brilliant. Duped by an excellent grid! Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55877: Excellent grid - didnt see "Hots" at all. tough but fair (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #55879: I would argue ska isn't a type of jazz, got marked down for putting "musical genres". (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55824: See? Also had the D connection (2 years, 10 months ago)

Justin Z @ #55868: Really nice grid. I scored a big fat 0, but reckon they were all gettable. Well thought out, and good red herrings in there. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Anastase @ #54716: I enjoy themed grids. Nice. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Anastase @ #55867: Nice grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55764: cool. bands got me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55811: Yes true Giggsy, it is playing to a small audience, just buffs - particularly of vintage films. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55845: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55860: Poor conections (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mack @ #55867: Great connections! Loved the Alamo group.. Would only recommend adding "Hillary" and "Star Trek" as acceptable answers for their respective categories (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55858: Idiot. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #54698: Like bigz, I put body parts for the “keep” one as that works too. Maybe add it to your answers? Just a thought. Good grid from you as always though. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

swaggt jr @ #55854: swag (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55840: Sorry! My mistake!! It was perfectly fine (capitalis/zation had me confused) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #54716: Excellent. Took a while to work out the running theme - but once I did they all slipped into place. Clever grid. Glad I persevered. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Eddie @ #55864: absolute trash/nonsense (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55811: Just a bit too tough for most people. You are mainly left guessing. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #55829: Craptic indeed. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55803: Thank you. Themed grids are fun to do. (2 years, 10 months ago)

leen peeters @ #55764: love the idea and the puzzle! one small comment, gnocchi is not a pasta but made of potato, confused me a bit ;) (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #55833: liked that, beat me hands down but didn't mind that (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55827: Well done, plenty of fun chasing the red herrings Got there in the end. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55829: Very good grid, got all but the Seven row. Particularly liked the Stay there Rose row. You win 10/7. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

ertoly @ #55833: Awful (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55832: Marx's 'brothers' in the group i hadnt heard of. Good grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #55827: very nice. not as easy as it first looked but not as hard as it turned out. wd ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Caz2 @ #23316: Fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

Caz2 @ #23316: Fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55827: excellent grid , good red herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #24775: Much fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #55792: Who would have thunk it. All these years my kebab takeaway has been using PITTA which is actually a passerine belonging to the taxonomic family pittidae [birds] while PITA is a flat bread pouch. Wondered why it was crunchy. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Krokodil @ #55792: 5* Brilliant. Excellent grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

eric @ #55813: the connection for line two is also collective nouns for animals - i wish you people would check your facts before submitting sub standard and incorrect grids (2 years, 10 months ago)

eric @ #55820: the connection in line one could also be to beat... (2 years, 10 months ago)

eric @ #55824: another gird that hasnt been thought through - Persue is spelt wrongly and this line could all have the letter D added to the words to form another word. The connection given of words for romantic pursuit is lame in the extreme. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Sav @ #55822: LEN Fairclough (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55822: Nice grid… but wasn’t it Len Fairclough? Or maybe Len Barlowe. I wonder what those Baldwin boys are up to now, the scamps. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55824: Persue? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cajun @ #55799: Very well done. Nice use of herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cajun @ #55804: Well done. The monopoly property is Ventnor though. Thanks for the grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55818: I danced around them all but ultimately got none. Great grid, you win. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55825: I think your Cowboy lines are retribution for the Pokémon lines 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55822: Happy to get 4/10 but you got me on the names. (2 years, 10 months ago)

stjohn @ #55806: ditto Fam (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: 😄 I’m making do with Now Sports membership for now! I’ve spent enough on daily sports passes to have covered a ticket somewhere! ( albeit the cheap seats ). I used to watch it at work, or even just watch the highlights, but every race has been too important this season to not watch live. Italy was one of my favourites. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55806: Thanks Hamburger. Came together in the last moments having mucked around with six of you know what for quite some time. I even treated myself to some confetti :-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55804: Ticks are not insects. Too many legs. (2 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #55781: You're paying? then I would choose Spa Francorchamps, Belgium. Me win, I'd take you to Interlagos, Brazil. Two great race courses. If the win isn't big maybe Sky subscription (2 years, 10 months ago)

Louise Sutherland @ #30982: I was brought to this site after watching a youtuber do this very grid! (Northernlion) (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55806: A bit harsh to disallow "flies" (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55815: 😄 I would still have only got 2/10, thanks 👍 (2 years, 10 months ago)

pseudonym @ #55815: Fair enough, moose has been replaced. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: @Dave, that’s you too isn’t it? Well, if and when I win the lottery, which surely must be soon, I’ll get you a ticket. Where would you go? Have you ever been? Think I’d fancy Mexico or Spa, or the final race if it was a championship decider! But then there’s Silverstone and… (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55818: Bit mean of you to throw a red herring in when I knew what chicken of the woods was. The red herring was another questionable item from my past. (2 years, 10 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #55816: Frustratingly close to a full house. Well done for the puzzle!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #55818: That was fun, TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55788: Probably should have clarified that. Neat grid ‘not Spanish Simon’. (2 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #55781: It will probably a parking ticket! :-D (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: @St John, but I don’t mind that as it’s brought Merc and RB closer together in the constructor’s championship. I was probably more anxious about Alonso’s tyres hanging out. If you end up working as a tactician for Mercedes can you get me a ticket? 😀 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #37634: Nice bit of fun. Appreciate the spread of groups. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55788: Neat grid not Spanish Simon. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55815: You say moose, I say stag ;) ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #55814: very good, nice use of red herrings oh and p.s. ignore the likes of Dark Night, keep posting. ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55781: @ Jmelb - as Dawn French said in the advert "they're not Terry's - they're mine" @ Fam - I did not think the race was boring, it was like a chess game. I even shouted at the screen to bring Bottas in for a tyre change when he had about 23 secs advantage over Perez - did they listen to me? like hell and four laps later BOOOM flat tyre. Poor tactics from Mercedes. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55803: Nice and simple, once I noticed the theme for the whole grid. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55816: btw 5* from me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55816: Very nicely put together! WD & TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

FactGuy @ #55814: Oh…sorry… (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55813: funny grid, ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55810: Bo was good ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55811: 6/10, took a punt on just White Heat and little buddy never seen so 7/10 would have been my max. The line "look down there it's easy" played around and around before I got it, and that was the one that got me the line. Cheers filmbuff 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #55535: I am glad I am not the only person frustrated by the fact Wrench and Crowbar are completely interchangeable (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55786: Awesome! That’s brightened up my morning. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55458: Beat me! 4/10. Nice grid, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55696: Very good. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55788: Loved it. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Justin Z @ #55810: I got the idea with 20 seconds to go and thought it deserved a refresh. Really cool grid, though would be nice for some red herrings - hard as they may be to find! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55781: Easy, yet good. Just polished off a Terrys today-love them! TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55814: Awful. All contain three letter names that hardly anyone has heard of? Take a long look at yourself in the mirror. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55810: Very good grid Enjoyed this one 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Alison @ #54034: I enjoyed this (2 years, 10 months ago)

qbit @ #50196: Incredible!! (2 years, 10 months ago)

qbit @ #55764: Bloody good one. Miraculously got 10/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55809: Excellent grid, thanks for making this. I just couldn't get the spiral line it was very well hidden. Cheers (2 years, 10 months ago)

Joel @ #33156: The iron is a monopoly piece though! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55769: Was stuck on the cola line for a while there, nice herring. Cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55803: Very well worked, the Limp row took me a while. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Justin Z @ #55802: Not sure about the joke set. The answers were different too. Mountain set was pretty loose. Carey set was a goodie. (2 years, 10 months ago)

McPennace @ #55783: Maybe not exclusively, but stereotypically yeah. There are chicken pot pies in the US that are savoury, but if someone from America asks if you would like a pie, they mean a sweet pie, so your story is accurate (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55778: Yes indeed, you should apologise to Ethel! : ) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55776: nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55795: 5* for including Count Von Count and definitions of blade and point. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Avenger @ #5417: Primrose says it all. A daft grid not worth 3 minutes of your life. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55776: @Fam. Thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55783: Thanks McPennace. So in America they are exclusively sweet? As in the UK they can be savoury or sweet and could have puff or shortcrust pastry. However, I do remember once being offered pumpkin pie and looking forward to a nice savoury meal only to be disappointed with a sweet dessert. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Owl @ #55784: Hammer innit? (2 years, 10 months ago)

McPennace @ #55783: In America pies are sweet and for desert with flakey pastry crust, in UK they are for meals and have meats and veggies and stuff with sturdy dough around. (2 years, 10 months ago)

supertailz @ #55715: Please give more options for the connecting words, shoe brands and game shows should be enough, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #55784: Ditto. Weird. (2 years, 10 months ago)

spoon @ #55769: Please take MLB (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #55317: Snow leopards are not prehistoric. They are endangered but are modern day big cats. It doesn't matter in the long run as you have no other choices that match the mammoth, sloth, and tiger. The poppy group falls together. The suits are a given. Your last group comes together via elimination of the others but the connection is insanely niche. Poor job top to bottom. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55783: Difference in pie? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55784: Nice one Edurita. Sin was new to me. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: *home* ( bl**dy hell ) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: Just need to win the lottery and I’ll get a ticket for Abu Dhabi on the hone straight. One day. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: Boring race but championship very much alive and good to see Alonso on the podium. If Lewis takes the win and fastest lap with Max second next race they could go into the final race equal on points! (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #55300: Not acquainted with jumbuck but it fell into place. Took a minute to figure where you were heading, then, it went swimmingly. Well thought out. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #55765: I figured out what you were after, but couldn't nail the groups in 3 minutes. The links were easy. A fun one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #54902: Odessa has 2 letters S (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #55769: This biologist has never come across the term "havier." Thank you for your always excellent definitions! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Brooke @ #55729: Good grid, ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55781: The FIA said that Max & Red Bull had nothing to answer for and Mercedes request for a review was thrown out.. I am not saying anyone would do anything underhand but.....Max not running Lewis off? How come he ended up so far off the track if he was turning into the corner and amazingly the onboard camera showing if Max turned the steering wheel was not available. Some sour grapes also from that nice man Christian Horner. 45 mins to go. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55782: Was I all on my own with that red herring? Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: Btw, I read about the origins of the Mercedes name after your clue and it’s an interesting bit of trivia. Exciting last few races now! I’d actually not mind if Hamilton won now as he’s been fighting hard and it would be a great comeback story. Max played a bit dirty last week. It’s been a phenomenal season! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55781: Nicely worked grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55781: Bit of recycling going on there St John 😉 Recognised the Jason line 😀 Fun grid and interesting thread. Ok I was old enough to get Bilko 😠😄 but I missed the Hamlet connection. Was too busy thinking about the weekly mag. Times must have changed as I was thinking of New Scientist 🙂 Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55767: 5* you got me going around in circles but at least I got the tosh sorted out! Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55773: Sticking with The Big Easy didn’t help 😀 My mind doesn’t work very well on the wordy ones so only managed the dogs line on resolution. Good but tough grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55762: *me* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55762: The expression is facepalm St John but for mr it’s less 🤦‍♀️ and more 😖 for the same line. I looked at it for ages! Thanks Hamburger! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55772: How I missed it I’ll never know. Nice to see some new clues. Wd ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Snakes @ #55778: Very good. That's the proudest I've been to get confetti for weeks. 2 seconds to spare (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55775: Clever little challenge LittleQuill. Made it but missed the House link. Funny how capital letters can throw you. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55769: Had that moment at the end when you don’t know the fourth in a group and you’ve got three lives to guess. Just made it with cola and learnt four new terms. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55776: Really liked this Malcontent. Elegant and pleasing. 10/10 and 10 seconds left on the clock. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55764: Nc Hmbrgr. Enough ways in for each group to make it fun. Some were hard to get even when you knew what the group was. I couldn’t guess two in the nrvn group. 10s all round! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55765: Nice idea. Too tough for me. I did spot two homophones but couldn’t get any further without guessing the form. Managed a sad 1/10 on completion. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55778: Very clever St John. Top marks ( for you ). I was only good enough to get a few clues and therefore put them in the wrong group together. Wd ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55765: I couldn't get to grips with this one at all. Very clever, but I disagree with at least one definition/clue. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55769: @Mister Tom. That's ironic, considering what the capon link was (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55769: Good. I'm surprised I managed 10, because I know no sport. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55775: Good, but Wright and Ball can be swapped between groups(fairly certain he fits that link and Ball can follow that word) so there are at least two valid solutions to the grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55767: Giving myself ten not seven - I put confectionery. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gridders @ #55734: Great grid. Reef good red herring but worked my way to 10/10 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55770: Good, but I'm giving myself 6 rather than 5. The only link I really knew, for the first line I solved, was marked wrong because I put the character who said it, Malvolio, not the play. I had a lucky guess at the Uneasy link. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55768: Thanks, maybe I will need to resubmit it (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55768: Solved the wall, can't get the uneasy row to reveal. Great wall though. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55764: Enjoyed that one, took me a while though. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

MK @ #55715: Shoe brands =/= "Brands of sport shoes" Hmmmmm..... Probably not your fault, but weird that didn't count. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #43456: Liked this one too…..okay, I’ll stop now. Patent brought back memories of being taken out to buy new school shoes. That was a long time ago too. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #43389: Only got one of the years spot on but pretty crazy/scary how long ago all of these things were. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Feza @ #55760: Same as 55761. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #48282: Liked this one Jmelb. I don’t think I’d realised that you’d posted so many grids! I eagerly await ones from the regulars such as yourself, forgetting that there’s a whole back catalogue of ones I can do. I wish you could search by name. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WHEEE @ #54436: Nice (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55747: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55757: (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55756: Way too specialized for the average quizzer. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55748: Very clever. You got me. Liked it! That blimmin’ del line though ( don’t want to give it away ). It and others of its ilk come up on here fairly frequently and there’s no middle ground, you’re either going to know it or not. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55747: I did ok too Fred. It’s when people use first names I think it’s kind of crazy. Thanks MHickford. . (2 years, 10 months ago)

F91W @ #55712: Ty. Nice grid. Enjoyed all the golf connections. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #55734: Top grid. Some of my favourite things. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aladdin @ #38656: Sight? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55747: I'm not usually any good at these names grids. But, blimey Charlie, I got the lot. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Snakes @ #55734: Beige by name beige by nature. Chill out (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55279: Seems ok to me. I missed two lines but that was because I didn’t know about ping crease and ‘the ball’ I would probably associate another word. The rest seems fine I just missed the connection for tune. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #55279: Two groups have nonsense that can only connect by luck and elimination. Two are elementary. Better luck next time. (2 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #55670: double checked, seen you've entered that word before and after and inside (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #33889: Not many grids get posted on a Saturday. This is a good and fun one. I’m not pretending it was easy by the way, I only had 9 seconds left. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55741: Empire line was inspired. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #55734: 'Breeds' isn't true of those creatures. There are no domesticated breeders creating pedigrees. 'Species'. Some capitalisation issues here, which I appreciate were fudged for deliberate potential confusion. (2 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #55697: Novel idea well executed (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #55697: I enjoyed that, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

dgms @ #55670: @dave.How does it not work? It works for the group it's in. In fact, it's the reason I made that group with that link. It doesn't work for the group it's a red herring for, but it doesn't have to work for a group it's not part of, does it? Perhaps I've misunderstood. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55739: Nice straightforward grid, with a couple of red herrings. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55740: Good grid, got all but the Solar row You win 10-7 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55724: Liked this one Edurita. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55720: Nothing, nothing, nothing ( except a group with a red herring ) then penny dropped and got all bar one connection in the last moments. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55672: Confetti! Angel group was a half remembered guess. Very nice, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55707: I'm in the same boat as Fam. Very clever and refreshing concept, thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55729: Got the Xipe Totec line, but that was it, but I knew some of the other clues. Very nice, but tough grid. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #54946: Assassinated and Sauce were both marked as incorrect! This was a good quiz - but could have been great if you’d given more flexibility with the answers. A lot of people will put “assassinated” rather than “shot to death” - and be as frustrated as me that you mark this as wrong. Tiny amend from your side and all will be well. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

UStralian @ #54222: Not bad, but the animals are all mammals (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55707: Very very good. As usual I refreshed as I think it’s worth it for a clever wall. Got all the groups but missed the Lucifer connection. Quality grid. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55707: Really tough wall. Well constructed, deserves to be one of the walls in the final of OC. Got the neck row and that was it. More please. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55704: Don’t be put off by the numbers. There are connections other than mathematical ones. Well done kaphc, you had me stumped but they are good connections. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55701: Got all the groups but didn’t know Josh and Bar connections. Maybe harder if you’re not from the US. (2 years, 10 months ago)

widger @ #55704: excellent grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55697: Excellent grid, spotted the plot early, just failed to connect. Well done. You win 10-5 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

kaphc @ #55691: Loved this wall, and the RANWE was a nice diversion from what seemed like an obvious group, but then became a interesting connection (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aladdin @ #55697: Really lovely grid, ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

kaphc @ #55699: I enjoyed this wall, because at first glance I didn't think I would get any groups, but then solved it with 1:51 to go. Only got two of the connections though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55691: Another good idea. I could see some but had to refresh to get them all. Certainly not too easy. Thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55697: Nice idea. I had to refresh once as I only saw what was going on late on. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55671: Was so chuffed I got the Mel line I missed the obvious in another two lines. I’m sure that there’d be an occasion to put lager in front of all those words. Good grid, ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55668: Nice and easy 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Caspar @ #54789: Your explanations for the Harry Potter and Rhyming clues seem wrong to me. Substitute one letter doesn't work for Stranger to Granger and if they were simply misgrouped then even Ranger would require the addition of a letter. Perhaps I'm mistaken but I found it slightly confusing. (2 years, 10 months ago)

esophagus_now @ #55579: Very clever. I like how there were many groups that seemed obvious but you couldn't find four elements, so it couldn't be right (for example, putting a few of the deadly sins) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Marco @ #55625: Really fun one (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55626: quite right Fam 10-7, I was trumped on one line ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ant @ #55579: @Midge you'd be wrong, there is a fox (and probably a worm, though I can't remember). The whole premise of the film was that there's a city full of animals, so it's safe to assume any animal could fit. (2 years, 10 months ago)

TopsyandTim @ #55619: The Bowie one was tough but I got it at the end. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55181: Don’t know why I didn’t see this grid first time around. I love a picture grid. Didn’t know what the coin was and I think if the picture showed the whole tap it would be clearer as I thought you were zooming in on a particular part. Good grid though. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55585: Toughie. Guessed one group purely by the look of the words but only truly scored 2/10. Wd! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #34434: Jesus, just when you thought it couldn’t get any tougher! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55579: Ah yeah, I see what you mean Midge. I was left with the same group and just thought animal ( I’d already got the fox group ). Good grid. Liked the sloth red herring. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55537: Haha, liked it when the Gher line fell into place 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55583: Haha, I love the comments sometimes. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Midge @ #55579: @ Ant. I've no idea and no interest in what Zootropolis is, but I'm assuming there's no Fox or Worm in it, so it the Zootropolis link means Rabbit can't be swapped with either one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephen Walton @ #55559: excellent red herrings! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55383: Ahh, thanks WVPuzzler! Appreciated from such a skilled and prolific grid setter as yourself! 🙂 It takes me quite a while to compose a grid so I’m chuffed if people like them. It’s a bit like cooking a roast dinner - it takes all day and then it’s gone in an instant 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Midge @ #55576: Good. Got the Nones group, knew it the link, but not the right link term. Guessed the cellophane link after I'd solved the wall. Loved the Home group (and the lesson) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ant @ #55579: Nice grid, though I feel the Zoopolis group is hard to distinguish between just regular animals. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Persona Gallica @ #55583: Ad auctor dico "Oppido bonum" (2 years, 10 months ago)

SC @ #55541: Hardback and tapback? (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55441: Not wild about having terms like "wife beater" and "winter beater" in these puzzles. And yes, I know the first can also mean a garment, but it is still distasteful. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55383: I got a couple of these clues, but it mainly went right over my head, particularly the rhyming slang, though I knew mince pies. I liked the explanations, once the grid was resolved. Thank you for truly fiendish and very clever grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Joe @ #47823: Grace link was rubbish. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55578: Well spotted! reminds me of el, em, en, eo, which is what I thought was the answer. I have updated the grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55580: excellent grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

SC @ #55583: explain smartarse (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55512: Ditto WV. I could only think of Rab C. Nesbitt. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55582: tricky - not heard of Anne.....challenging grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55580: Enjoy these ones. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55583: Putting connection explanations in is a sine qua non (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55580: Managed this one! I’m sure we subliminally absorb words from other grids. One of your four letter words was an answer in one of St John’s recent grids I believe. Good grid. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55535: Yes - I didnt spot the Crowbar Wrench - should have gone for Crown (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55578: Managed to get all the groups but only one correct connection. I thought ‘c’ for that group too. The Salt group I thought were means of removing stains, guessing that Clear and Fresh might be American brands. Didn’t have a clue about Era. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55512: Got the Beast, Jenny lines, the other two were stumpers. Nice but tough grid, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Flanners @ #55544: Fun grid. Still takes some thought even when you twig the connections (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #55539: Great! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Est289 @ #55542: Great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55512: 10/10 for both of us ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #55578: Tough one - thank you! Failed miserably. The Love connection could also be to add a 'c' to the beginning of each word. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #55535: (2 years, 10 months ago)

kondja mia @ #55542: nice one (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55576: Thanks. Educational for me too. I got the main line. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #55512: I can't remember when I last got 0. On seeing the answers I thought - "Fair enough". Thanks for a genuine challenge. I am duly chastened. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55535: A crowbar is handy for lots of things. We have a small one in our toolbox at work. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #55576: Educational, thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55567: Nice novel groups. 4-10 to you. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #55485: The absurd simplicity of the rhyming group made me laugh. Really good, thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55383: @Jmelb, did you try my silly one? I only manage to post one a week or so. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55497: Thanks Jmelb. Got it with the clues. Probably would have guessed Million Dollar Baby and The Lone Ranger! (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #55537: Great. (2 years, 10 months ago)

barry womble @ #55542: I've said it before but it is really great to see an actual, elegantly executed red herring. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gridlington @ #55547: Good one! Liked the muppet connection too! If Waldorf isn't a salad or a hotel, it can only be a muppet! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cristobal @ #55535: Mr Picky, you're too picky. A wrench and a crowbar are not interchangeable at all. A wrench is a spanner for undoing nuts and bolts. A crowbar is a jemmy for forcing open packing crates or locked doors. Good grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #55537: Beautiful (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #54978: Best grid I’ve done today. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Simon @ #55545: It's a different Simon. Click on the name, only 4 grids come up. (2 years, 10 months ago)

kondja mia @ #55506: identified two groups but couldn't narrow them down enough. annoyed i didn't get the eden group or the airport group, but that's the sign of a grid well made... (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dude @ #55495: Got ya, Bob & Widger. I also changed Crow because it required an extra word (Counting) (2 years, 10 months ago)

kondja mia @ #55538: superb. clocked what was going on just as i was running out of time at the first attempt, but gave it another go and cracked it. great grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #55544: Brilliant grid, thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55544: For some reason even though I’ve done this style before I was thrown by the layout and the fact that both words started with the same letter. I spent all my time trying to work out a complicated solution that wasn’t there! Wd, ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55546: Getting harder. Got the groups but only knew a fraction of the words. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55545: Thanks Simon, it’s fun trying to refresh my Spanish. It’s easy enough to look up but if you want to put translations in the answers in future grids it’d be nice 😉 Got confused and kept thinking that uvas were eggs rather than grapes 🙄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55485: Yes, this was really nice. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

PuzzyBear @ #55535: Very good grid, many thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

spoon @ #55485: Nice quiz with some categories I haven't seen before (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55542: Very good grid, nice and easy. Enjoyed this one. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #33987: She must have kept you all on your toes St John. Her brain is definitely working at a higher level. So many different ideas and techniques. That’s partly why I missed this, as I assumed ( 🙄 ) it was one of those ones where there is a mixture of words you know and some more obscure ones. So I was trying to find the Savannah group but also something to do with people who work with metal/soldering. I completely missed it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55537: Very good, several red herrings. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55539: Nice straightforward grid Couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #55509: @St John. That ought to have worked. I may have mistyped in the acceptable answers, I was a bit rushed finishing this one off. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55415: Great fun. Come group was favourite for me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dude @ #34751: Game of Thrones is fading fast in my memory. Especially as the direwolves didn't factor in much in the latter seasons (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #55535: Can swap Wrench for (a small) Crowbar. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55438: Great fun. The Average line was the hardest (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55536: nice red herrings - should have got the Range group - good grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

quodlibet @ #55509: very nice red herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #55495: The Byrds and Yardbirds are indeed two different bands, but The Birds aren't a band at all, at least not a well known one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

mak @ #55327: 7-10 was rough but good overall (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #33987: Lorna was always a consummate thrower of the curve ball. I missed this 1st time around. Me? sold! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55458: great red herrings - and kicked myself on the Chain group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Flanners @ #55497: Fun grid. Got the streamers and a nice reminder to dig out the WC Fields DVD (2 years, 10 months ago)

qued @ #55523: eh (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jasmine @ #33006: This was very hard please make easier. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Langers @ #55166: Excellent work - well done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #33987: My Lorna was crafty. I see you thought it was fairly easy Jmelb but I was lost and only got one line 😄 Sometimes I get stuck on one train of thought and forget to look at other possibilities. (2 years, 10 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #55506: Really nice grid. I got nothing but lots of kicking myself afterwards! (2 years, 10 months ago)

GridDavid @ #55495: Hey All - The two "ducks" has been fixed. ... and Widger, I double checked "The Byrds" and "The Yardbirds" are two different bands. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55510: Only got one row. Then had a laugh at the Fair row.🤣 Have an extra point for poetic licence. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55510: yup! 😁😁😁 (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55509: A mixture of delight with this puzz and "aaaaaaarrrgh!" Devilishly sneaky [minor quibble with your description of the egg line "methods"? maybe just ....."f....d?". Your puzz, your call] P.S. 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55510: Yes, well I was, trying to sort that lot out. Had to settle with sorting two in time and getting the connections for three. I think you know you’re pushing it with Pharaoh mister… (2 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #55166: @ Mister Tom - Thanks. "Dried nasal mucus" almost made the final cut but I decided against for fear of upsetting the more squeamish among us(!) I have since tweaked the homophone in question to make the distinction more overt for future players. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55486: Very good, nice and easy. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #55416: I enjoyed that. 451 was the first I spotted. You did for me on the 500 well done ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55166: Updated pictures work well Jollycorpse. One of the originals I saw as ‘blocks’ but the other one was just my error. People are loving your creative grids 🙂 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Meow @ #44163: Meow (2 years, 10 months ago)

J Silberman @ #55508: Same grid as 55504 - but with a different solution. (I've been working on this concept and it's mighty hard to find a unique grid. Great minds think alike, MR, and you beat me to it!) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #55166: Thanks for setting. Par(r) rather soured it for me.... even though I got it in the end, as you acknowledged its clue does not work quite. I guess i should be grateful for the free entertainment and for you not putting bogey instead (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55506: Missed everything ( well the only group I did spot I missed one of the group but included red herrings ) 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55504: nice concept (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55506: Very good grid, spotted a couple of red herrings. Liked the Airport row 😁 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55505: liked the Swank group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55416: @StJohn, @jmelb, @all the regulars - did you see this one. It’s a different and fun head scratcher. I didn’t see any connections until the end. ( Hope you don’t mind @Argon Vile ) (2 years, 10 months ago)

William F @ #54712: Incredible grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55416: I wouldn’t feel bad about this grid at all Argon Vile! Just being difficult doesn’t make it bad. One of the hardest things on here is to come up with something original and this is a success. It was one of those ones where you wonder if it’s just a nonsense when you can’t make any connections, and then you see it once the grid is resolved and think, ‘ahh that’s clever’. I don’t think it’s American centric, just the one line where we tend to work in different units now making it harder to spot but it is necessary because of one of the clues. Well done! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55497: @jmelb, I know twas a goodn too 👍 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55488: Nice and easy, spotted a couple of red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Murdo @ #55417: Nice idea but I think that 'The Answers' is wrong. Given the other three in the group, should it not be 'The Connections'? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55495: It’s true about duck but if you can work around it it’s a fun little grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55493: Good one. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55492: a little bit niche for me (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55495: two small gripes - two ducks . and the band is the byrds (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55415: nice red herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

solitary88 @ #55497: I'm getting the hang of your grids now .... see how you think (2 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #55404: fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #55495: I'm unsure if it's deliberate, but having the same word twice in the grid means it's a coin flip whether you guess the correct "Duck" or not! Other than that it's a clever grid and I enjoyed solving it. (And, having the repeated word "Duck" is cute because of the "Duck Duck Goose" wordplay.) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #55496: A very tough grid, as only one category is identifiable without guesswork! As someone who's never played System Shock, Final Fantasy or Resident Evil -- I still correctly identified the other three categories. But, ran out of time trying to brute force the members because of the clever misdirects (Bumblebee, GLaDOS, Leprechaun) Someone who plays more of your kinds of video games will probably have more success! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #55416: Thanks, Fam! I do feel bad about this grid for three reasons: two of the categories are very American-centric, and one is a knowledge check where you're either familiar with one specific thing or you aren't. I'm impressed you were able to guess the connections! Making these grids where they're fun to solve is hard for me, but I'm having fun trying. Thanks for your patience with me!

I knew Moviebuff was St John from a prior deduction but I didn’t know this was you! 😄 I’ve jested to St John before that there are probably only about 10 people on this site all with multiple names. I am only Fam though 😀 Look forward to that grid. St John set a ‘very easy’ one for me but I still failed 😂 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55398: True, I do like to lay the occasional trap lol! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55407: Hi Fam, it may get confusing but Movie Buff and I are not the same. I am film buff and St john is the other. We both know a lot of old movies and tend to include those. I will post an old movie purist one soon and you can give it a go! Hints-wise, I can say I have never bonded with these movies but know many have.

jollycorpse @ #55166: My image grid method (in response to William F’s query) 1) Subscribe as a patron to unlock images (About page, min cost: 1 pint per month) 2) Crop all images to aspect ratio 3:2 landscape for consistent display 3) Register for a free Flickr account and upload images 4) Click to share an image on Flickr and select the BBCode tab 5) There is a URL within this text that includes “live.staticflickr” and ends “.jpg” 6) Carefully paste the full link into the grid submission page 7) Display grid on main page? Absolutely not – test and edit it using the email link first 8) When tried and tested, recreate the grid anew and submit publicly There are plenty of other file hosting sites but I had issues with several of them and so stuck with the above method after trial and error.

Fam @ #55429: Haha, I know this should have been easy but I tell you where my mind went. I put Ghost in two wrong categories where I had three already so thwarted that effort. Also started wondering whether PS was in St Elmo's Fire so that red herring worked too. Then to top it all got Striptease confused with Indecent Proposal, which wouldn’t have been a problem only I was trying to remember if Jack Nicholson was in that or was it Robert Redford. You see what you’re dealing with! 😂 Still, I scored 3 on the connections once Ghost was in its right group. Thanks for setting! 😀 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55419: I think it’s mighty fine. Got them all apart from Feel better line ( was slightly confused by random ‘b’ and the wording ‘me naughty’ ). Wondered more about how to describe them. Had them all apart from Scalextric which I played at a friend’s house. My dad's ruling factor was that the toy/game didn’t need batteries.

Fam @ #55359: Crikey, cut the guy/gal some slack. Admittedly I often don’t bother typing in the answer. I know whether I got it or not and that’s enough ( though to be honest I do occasionally type the answers just for the childish satisfaction of seeing the confetti 😀 ). All that’s happened here is that the poster has put the plural form of the connection in the link box. Accepts sauces, Asian sauces, mushrooms and butterflies. Not a biggie, just stick the singular in instead next time, or the root of the singular and plural eg butterfl. I think that should work. God knows I try to put every possible connection in the link box when I post and still sometimes miss some. Thanks for taking the time to post grids 🙂 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #55417: Clever, clever, clever. Didn’t get “The Answers” until I saw all the answers. Nice one. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55415: Works well. Fun whilst still being tricky. Was happy to get the aha moment with the gin line. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SC @ #55416: ridiculous (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fizzy @ #55359: I agree with Moondog. I put Asian sauces in for the sauce one - because satay sauce is from Indonesia - NOT China. Frustrating! Don’t be so specific - and if you are going to be specific make sure you get your facts straight. Otherwise would have been a good puzzle. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55416: This is very very clever Argon Vile. I couldn’t see anything but the links are very good. I finally guessed the connection for 451 once I’d seen all the others. I won’t spoil it for anyone else who’s going to try so I’ll leave it at that. Brilliant work, ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #55415: Wow, fun grid! I couldn't figure out the link between the last four words, but once they were side-by-side I pieced it together. The "gin" and "forefinger" links tricked me, you tricky person 😛 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Brooke @ #55370: Good grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55407: Gave this one a go film buff and you’ve actually made it quite accessible but I think maybe my film knowledge is never going to be great enough no matter how easy. For example, I knew about Mirren, Blanchett, Hayek and Dench in those roles ( maybe even Hopkins ) but still wouldn’t have known enough to guess or form those groups. Ty anyway, you still learn something and might watch a film because of it! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55407: Thanks Moviebuff ( I actually knew this one was you for a change ). Yes, it’s more ones ( potentially ) like this one where I recognise a lot of the players but don’t know where to start. I could let it play out and then see if I could see a connection but I think it’d still be hard. The more I think about it, maybe you’d have to oversimplify it too much to make it worthwhile 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Argon Vile @ #55403: Thanks for the suggestion! I've added "lolly/lollies" as a suggestion, although "Candy Corn" is a bit of a play on words which hopefully crosses the pond. If not, I'd love a suggestion on an alternate type of tricky candy to guess which translates better ("Ribbon" Candy, "Cotton" Candy, etc) (2 years, 10 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #55407: Nice easy quick cuppa type. Was NOT going to fall for the Susan George type again and took me just a little while longer for the Hopkins [which was his?] rhetorical, I will research. TY filmbuff regular quota of stars applied. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55407: Hi Fam [MovieBuff here] I will try to come up with one or two that are in your range. Filmbuff and I have a common interest [sometimes] in the pre war black and white stuff. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Brooke @ #55404: Fun (2 years, 10 months ago)

Core Crew @ #55383: 10/10. A good laugh :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55398: Jmelb, oh don’t get me wrong, it was good! It was my first grid of the day though ( yeah, I’m fangirling you ) and for a while I was even trying to figure out whether all the groups were the same format ( I could see quinoa and was trying to see if that worked ). I like a tough grid though and get more satisfaction out of it even if I have to refresh. With this one though sometimes I’d refresh and lose the groups I’d already found! 😄 I still took a wrong guess at the skiy group thinking there might just be some words I didn’t know ( and because I think you laid that trap 😉 ) so even after all the extra time you still won 10-7 and I’m happy with that 😀 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55407: Hi film buff ( and movie buff ) I never really give your grids a go as my knowledge isn’t great enough. But if after your grids have been up a day or two and spoilers aren’t going to ruin the fun for serious movie fans, any chance of some hints? Would be fun to try. ( I figure that anyone who deliberately reads the comments before attempting a grid after a few days is looking for hints anyway ). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55398: Fam I had to make harder because the format is familiar now : D (2 years, 10 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #55404: Loved it - very clever! TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55409: Good one. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ben @ #55363: Excellent thank you! Was able to get 3 of 4 in each category then guessed my way to the solution. Top effort and top quality grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55411: Really really hard WV. I only really got a couple of clues, but I am sleepy today. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Flanners @ #55383: Great grid, didn't get the cigar line but managed the rest. Some proper groaners there! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55408: Incongruous mix of two very easy and two very hard for me. But for someone else the groups might be swapped or all doable. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #55363: This was BRILLIANT... never done an audio wall before but thought the connections were brilliant, took my a while but managed 100% (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spencer @ #55363: I also stuffed myself up by remaining adamant that 'My SHOT' belonged to the drinking category... a very nice red herring there! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spencer @ #55363: I'm rubbish with most post-1940s music, so it was a nice feeling to recognise three songs in each line and get the connections! Love this wall. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Spencer @ #55404: Thanks all! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dude @ #39584: I think "Myth", "Deceit", "Tale", "Fiction" should accept "Not true" (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55404: Well you are quite the word! Found this challenging and fun. Spent a long time scrabbling around with two in a group. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55398: So much harder than the last one! Nay line particularly so, even when resolved by default. Had to screenshot to give myself a looooong time. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #55404: Ok, but the thing with grids like this is that once you've worked out one set of connections, you're most of the way to figuring out the rest of them, and so loses some of the difficulty/fun. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55404: Very good grid. Got all but the W row, then kick meself. You win 10-7 more please. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Michelle @ #55384: The correct name for Irish revolutionaries is de Valera not just Valera (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #55359: I got the groups rather quickly, I'm irritated by the fact that sauce and mushroom were not accepted as correct answers. The clue is in the instruction when uploading a grid, the beginning of a word is sufficient to give the definition because the software put in place by the originator of the site will supply any suffix needed to complete the definition. If you decide to ignore that and specify a single meaning then you are effectively saying only those people who think exactly like you and type that exact phrase are correct. Unless you carefully define an exact phrase or meaning in your groups you are going to attract constructive criticism, or precise instructions on how to go about explaining your groups. You can take this as either one, the other or both. If you see it as anything else, you should consider the possibility that you need to expand your command of language before attempting another upload. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #55396: Completely missed the colours, and IMO X Men was an informed guess but I should not have been that stupid as I did know all those characters, I just didn't connect enough. Respect. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #55334: Double, double O for schoolroom, respect! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #55363: Like Fam this wasn't easy for me even though I recognised all the songs, I still missed the connections in two groups. All hail the brain that thought it up and put in all the effort to give us a music round as a wall. The effort to not only connect all the songs, but to upload the clips is much appreciated, probably the best conceived and executed wall on this site that I have ever encountered. Many, many thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55385: Good grid; answers need tweaking (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55387: Being from Australia this was rough, still managed 2 lines, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Moondog @ #55378: I'll happily accept the other groups, but Whales, Horses, Dogs and rabbits are categorised as mammals rather than simply animals. As the pop up says 'he system isn't perfect. Do give yourself the extra points mentally. (There's probably no need to comment about this, unless it's constructive.)' I believe it's constructive to make that criticism as the facility is there in grid construction to construct the groups within defined parameters. If the group is too wide (i.e could include arachnids, reptiles, birds, fish, amphibians or even extinct species, the fault most likely lies with the originator of the grid rather than any perceived failings of the software used to create it. A little more creative thought and precise definition would correct this problem. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55352: Just checked it out again, cannot see any changes.. Solved the wall easily enough it was just taking time picking 4/6 because of the possible alternative possible red herrings with this subject. I was just a bit miffed at my self as I had done a similar grid before using Persil.. This grid is fine as it stands (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jimdas @ #55331: Good one, confets (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55352: @St John. Haha, I need to attend that course too. I often joke and people don’t realise that I’m joking as my humour is quite dry. I should have stuck a smiley face on the end of it. Are you saying you didn’t get the groups this time around? I find that astounding as I thought I’d made a bodge of it. I don’t think it’s bad enough to bury it, just not good enough to be proud of it. Could have used the groups more wisely in better separate grids. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55311: @Nighteyes, I took another look just to be sure. The "ed" suffix would work for that line, but think that would be really really poor or loose don't you think?. Plus an "ed" suffix could also be applied to at least five other words [making nine] and that would result in a non-unique solution grid and that is a total "no-no" (2 years, 10 months ago)

VT @ #55363: Loved this one, nice touch with the audio clips! (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55352: Hi Fam, I am taking a course at the moment about customer services and effective communication, Visual clues [body language] are so important as are tonal values. So written communication, [which we take for granted] has it's potential pitfalls a case in point, I was not criticising your grid, but my failure to recognise the words. It was meant as a general utterance of personal frustration. If I wanted to I would use the Scottish variance "keech" which I think sounds a much friendlier version of the English or French. If I hate one of my grids, I edit it with four different numbers or symbols [which I think you have seen before] and issue an apology with it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55319: It’s a rollercoaster. Saw Shell as a standout group but then couldn’t get anywhere. I guess sometimes you just need that little bit of knowledge that makes you think of a link that you can then look for. Or for one of the fun ones to jump out.

Robbie @ #55308: I love dinos, so can I have a shoutout in a Dino one please? (2 years, 10 months ago)

KingBob @ #55310: This one was mainly aimed at children. All of my easy ones will be kids puzzles, though adults can do the, too. (2 years, 10 months ago)

KingBob @ #55308: Remember, if you have any good or difficult suggestions, please add them in the chat below. And if you would like a shout out, just text your username and comment below and I will add it in my next puzzle. Thanks, KingBob (2 years, 10 months ago)

King Bob @ #55308: Hi Tilly! Thank you so much for your positive comment. I will be making many more soon! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tilly Tickletoe @ #55308: That was great, thx KingBob. High quality and also tricky. I showed all my friends and they loved it. Thank you. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55282: Well there you go. Hurdy-gurdy. I didn’t have a clue. Good grid. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

ChicoTaco @ #55306: That was the best one I have done. Well done KingBob. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55284: Carrot group. Sigh. Otherwise good though. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55301: Afraid I didn’t get anywhere with this one. Knew the toddy group was in there somewhere but kept putting the wrong ones together. Valid groups but tricky to see. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55302: You rotter. Wasted all my time putting bay with dormer and every other combination. Wd! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55294: Certainly a fiendish for me. I got one, as in one clue 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55298: One of those ones where it seems obvious once the grid is resolved. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55300: Helen look at each of the missing words again (I don't want to give it away here) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55300: Good level of difficulty for this style of grid to make it challenging and enjoyable. I just slipped up on the jumaroo line. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Helen @ #55300: I didn't understand ref to "male of the species " (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55277: Looks like in this case it was a good job my Latin was so bad ( non existent ) as I just guessed that clue from the group it was in by default. I also thought that Fledermaus was something to do with opera so lucky that I cheated and looked that up otherwise I wouldn’t have had the joy of working out that clue. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55300: Excellent grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55294: Not happy! scandal plagued conservative? you may just have said pick a word any word there are so many. Wrexam [no disrespect intended] I was lead to think on a national level.

d @ #55289: Connections are so niche basically no-one would get them. 1. "Good candy bars" to get on halloween? Skittles isn't a bar, and neither are smarties (though they could), just make this candy 2. Maybe if it becomes popular in the future, but very few people play "super auto pets" for someone to answer it - the game ones should be of well known series 3. Things that can "ascend"? Perhaps, but you don't use the specific word "ascend" to describe rent, helium and escalator (rise, get higher, any one of the many synonyms), but unless you use that word, Jupiter doesn't make sense, so the question is literally about getting "Jupiter Ascends", otherwise you can't get any connection 4. This makes so little sense, like the words should at least be relatively related to each other - Door Hinge and Bumble Bee literally have the app name in them, so there isn't much to figure out, and the other 2 are just really loosely related (Like tinder to campfire? I guess, but match has very little to do with pair, unless I was 100% certain on door hinge and bumble bee I would not be able to make the connections) There also really isn't any red herrings, this just seems like a bunch of weakly related words put together (2 years, 10 months ago)

Malcontent @ #55277: Good. Had to restart once after solving one group, as it took so long, but I managed it! Would be excellent (and I would've solved it quicker)if your Latin was correct - Lupus is wolf, not rabbit. Rabbit would be Lepus (actually hare rather than rabbit),lagomorph (the family that includes rabbits and hares), oryctolagus cuniculus (the European rabbit) or something indicating one of the other rabbit species. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55290: (2 years, 10 months ago)

S. Sanders @ #55287: REALLY, How??! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Roger @ #55277: Very good although rabbit is Lepus (lupus is wolf) and chimney sweep doesn't fit the pattern. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Thank you! Lorna would be proud. Oh, and of course I had to screenshot it and give myself about ten mins. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Simon @ #55271: _ Balance is a clothes brand (2 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #55271: Tyke for a dog was new one for me. I have only ever seen it in the context of a child. I think balance may be a bit of a stretch. I realise you will see it on a bank statement after a transaction, but it is not atually a common phrase as such, is it? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #54952: Dartknight Tell me you cant do difficult grids without telling me you can't do difficult grids... This is Fine idea but lacked crossovers. A Clockwork - for example (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #54126: Maybe coming from Scotland you pronounce your ‘r’s more Stuart, but I say Ghana and garner almost exactly the same. Comically I’m sitting in a room on my own and saying them both out loud. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #55257: Fair - I stand corrected! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #54802: Managed 5/10 for what is a pretty tough grid - nicely done (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #55263: I liked it! Didn't accept my British spelling of civilisations though but that's not your fault! (2 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #54126: I live in the UK (Scotland) too and have never heard biting to mean cold. And I don't know of anywhere where Garner sounds like Ghana and there is still no pattern to the Jennifer grouping. Anyway, a few people seem to think I was being insulting with my comment - was just giving my honest take on it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #55257: Tricky but really nice. And there are two spellings of dwarfs / dwarves, but the Disney movie does spell it Dwarfs! (It got me a few weeks ago in another context) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55111: Thanks for the feedback @Cajun! Anthony is most widely known for her work in women's suffrage, but she's also a prominent abolitionist as well. Used abolitionist for the clue for the alliteration. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55253: Thanks! ( you’ve missed the g off rdyst dy ). Still got it though as I spotted the longer one in that group. Posssibly we're a similar age group. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #55238: Thanks for setting. Found this too straightforward: the categories leap out at you because there's nothing else that Moonraker or Rolling in the Deep can really be. Bond Villains, for example, would make a more interesting group because lots more of them might initially be thought to be something else (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55253: dh! thnks rmp (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55253: A few stray vowels crept in (rdystdyo, obsttrcs). Made it slightly easier I think. But a fun one! (2 years, 10 months ago)

GrilorBoy @ #55191: Woah this was good. You had me scratching my head thinking 'Eh? What's this then? Winstone...in a Bond? Was he?' It was thoughts like this that filled my head during this puzzle.

CD @ #55181: half the pics missing! managed 1 group by such though (2 years, 10 months ago)

Colmac @ #55166: Amazing. Encore! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55166: The pictures didn't load for me at first and I was very confused about what to do with the blank grid. Fun puzzle, loved the 'iron' category! (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55166: very happy 10/10 for both of us (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #55166: Classic categories, fun presentation. Very enjoyable. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mia @ #55176: I love this!! Gutted I didn't write the correct terminology for the link. Great game. Are there more? #nerd (2 years, 10 months ago)

Core Crew @ #55168: Are you pookman? Are you pookman? Are you pookman in disguise? in disguise? Are you pookman in disguise? I know you like sports :) TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55166: Very nice! (2 years, 10 months ago)

RMP @ #55160: 13+6 does not equal 18 which technically makes this puzzle impossible/very frustrating (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55113: The Nettle category got me! Super fun figuring out this grid, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #54952: @DarkKnight, are you different from the person above - TheDartKnight? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55164: Aargghhh! So good and yet so infuriating 😄 Refreshed but still didn’t get there as I was convinced there was a wrench. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55169: Thought it was going to be super easy then missed one link! Thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55165: Nice groups and enough uncertainty to be satisfying. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

William F @ #55166: excellent. How do you do a picture grid?? thrilling (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55166: Brilliant! Got this one with lots of time to go - certainly helps if you’ve done a lot of puzzgrids in word form 😀 ( didn’t help that I mistook the actress for Charlize Theron 😄 ) Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

William F @ #55168: EXCELLENT GRID! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55166: Great fun! Got it with 9 seconds to go. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55167: A nicely doable popular knowledge name one. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #49127: I just looked at it again Madvillain. Had forgotten again and got 0/10 again. StJohn, Jmelb, WVPuzzler and others who like a mad challenge - why don’t you see if you can score anything. Let me know if you want any hints. (2 years, 10 months ago)

JoJo Jenkins @ #55147: Bantam spelt incorrectly (2 years, 10 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #55151: Very good :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

quodlibet @ #55160: Call me a maverick, but I always thought 13+6=19 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55160: Different, and curiously satisfying. Good work. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Coriacea @ #55146: Nope not a team. Just had quite a bit of time off work lately and the weather's awful! Thank you :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #55113: haha the name of the sword :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Shane Miles @ #55115: 'movies' should be a correct answer in the blue line (2 years, 10 months ago)

Madvillain @ #49127: Honestly I have no idea. I just tried it again having completely forgotten the premise and only managed 2 out of 10 haha (2 years, 10 months ago)

JD @ #54233: There is no way of knowing .. . . . . (2 years, 10 months ago)

CoffeFondue @ #43002: The two grids has something to do with skip counting by two's and fives. While one of the grids has something to do with values that begin with one and finally the last grid being about Arithmetic Sequencing (2 years, 10 months ago)

CoffeFondue @ #43244: It's so easy that every 5 year old kid can solve this puzzle (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave2 @ #32313: Who is Fitzgerald? I googled, but couldn't find any fictional bartenders named Fitzgerald. (2 years, 10 months ago)

George @ #55090: nice one :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dave2 @ #15862: How is this a US quiz? I've heard of a buttermilk biscuit, but who puts chocolate in their biscuits? And what kind of biscuits did they have in Gallipoli? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55127: Fun one. Thanks. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55146: Very good. How are you churning out so many of these Coriacea? Are you a team? Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Antony @ #55129: Bosnia uses the Mark (2 years, 10 months ago)

Cristobal @ #55129: The Mark (deutsche mark) is no longer a currency. Germany adopted the Euro in 1999. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55119: Never thought I'd see the day! ; D (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ant @ #55126: A nice grid, thank you (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55146: Very good, particularly liked the chat line. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

d @ #55068: Nice tough grid, I think rhine and brine might be a little accent dependent though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #50662: Citroen Duchess???? (2 years, 10 months ago)

Savage @ #55119: Revolver was spelt backwards, Widger (2 years, 10 months ago)

neilb4god @ #55113: The standard remains high! (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55124: easy one (2 years, 10 months ago)

d @ #55123: It's not often that hip hop knowledge comes in handy on these sites, thanks for a fun engaging grid. (2 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #55119: Pretty sure it was Edd the Duck (double d) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55124: See, this is how bad I am at the wordy ones. Obvious what you’ve got to do but it still took longer than 3 mins for me. It’s down as easy but not for me 😄 (2 years, 10 months ago)

d @ #55079: Great fun as always, FYI "mr" wasn't accepted, may be worth an edit. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55119: Yes, it must have been my bad spelling. I thought it was a bit mean not to accept the game. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #55115: I thought we had Herman Goering in there. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #55113: Nice nettles group (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55121: nice groups and red herrings (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55112: nice groups , although no months end in "ter" so mind need an amendment (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55122: Not a clue ( apart from robot ) but who am I to judge. Somebody might know that stuff. I didn’t even know who they were apart from Jay-Z. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #55119: nice groups , revolver isnt spelled backwards though. (2 years, 10 months ago)

St John @ #55119: Ed Balls was not on my wave length, but I see where you are coming from. Plus the answer accepted for epor was clu,wea,back thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55119: I wondered what toilet balls was. Did you mean to do that? I’m also not sure if I typed the obvious answer for epor incorrectly but it didn’t accept it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55118: Svetlana took the words right out of my mouth. Might be a geographical thing. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55096: This will probably go off the front page soon. If you’re a sports fan you might get it. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55098: Think this is an example where people mark down just because it’s difficult. I didn’t figure it ( kept being short of a whole group ) but it’s good and original as far as I can see. Thank you ( didn’t know about beetle ). (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #55101: "Digits add up to a prime number" is another valid connection for the group with 34. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Svetlana @ #55118: Should accept peppers as an answer. Otherwise, great grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pat @ #43242: Enjoyed that! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55093: Clever but a zero score for me. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

uxo2nd @ #55113: Nettle, Scorpion, The Police and Bilbo Baggins... Genius :) (2 years, 10 months ago)

Taildragger @ #55108: Loved this one. Soooo many crossovers! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55115: Thanks ( friendly tip - if you want to make a few clues harder, choose some which start in a vowel, or don’t contain so many consonants ). This was quite straightforward but fun. (2 years, 10 months ago)

kitty @ #55111: Really good tough grid. Confess I refreshed the page as I ran out of time with just two groups so probably took me 30 seconds longer than the 3 minutes. Very satisfying when I got there though! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Breadeds @ #55109: I would allow 'salads' as an acceptable answer (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55112: Easy apart from the ary group for me. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55113: Loved Boombastic which I got straight away. The rest foxed me but it was masterful. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #55111: This be excellent ;-) (2 years, 10 months ago)

bigz @ #54399: Too intricate. Almost like a revenge grid for prior criticisms. Essentially impossible given the time constraint and, even with 5 minutes, bloody impossible. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #54336: @WV Which version were you watching? UK, NZ or US? Biased obviously but UK is the best ( for the presence of Greg Davies as the quintessential taskmaster ), NZ a close 2nd and US pretty awful. It depends upon the personalities as much as the format so maybe being familiar with the comedians plays a part, but I came to know and love some of the NZ contestants. I haven’t watched any OC recently. I’m very poor on the earlier sections but sometimes quicker on the missing vowels and I’m sure I’d be better at the wall now. Drives me crazy when they don’t systematically work through all the options when they have 5 possibilities in a category. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55111: Hi Bouldersaur ( good morning? ). I could see where this was going but there were enough clues that I didn’t know that I couldn’t get the groups. If I’d have thought what the table clue meant then I would have been able to narrow it down and possibly get it, so I think it’s a great grid and good challenge. Ty! (2 years, 10 months ago)

EOS @ #55111: Superb (2 years, 10 months ago)

Taildragger @ #55102: Very nice grid, great categories. Some fuller explanations would have earned 5 stars for quality. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55110: At last I’ve got one ( one of your easier ones ) now that I’ve clicked on to your style. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55111: Thanks for playing my puzzle, feedback is welcome! I didn't want this one to be TOO hard, but I fear some of my clues are a bit too obscure. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55103: Very clever idea. Yet another one I didn’t see. 5* for you. Dunce hat for me. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55099: Very good. Saw ss straight away but struggled with grouping the others. Thanks! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55109: Nice and easy grid. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55086: Noice. Good groups but somehow I only got two connections. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Brooke @ #55067: Very enjoyable & a bit different. Took a while to realise the pattern though! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55090: Btw, what I like about your puzzles in this style is that there are always at least a few clues I don’t really know and have to work out from those that I do, or by default. Miss Marple group was my last in this case. Thank you for the work you must put in. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #55102: nice (2 years, 10 months ago)

Brooke @ #55071: Nice grid (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #55101: I agree with the Dark Knight (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #55099: nice (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55090: The Rwanda clue had me guessing for a long time. Feel silly now knowing what it was hinting at! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55052: Nice puzzle! When I first looked at all the words I thought "No way I'm going to get this" but after some thought it all came together. Cool puzzle! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55102: Great grid. I was soundly beaten, but all categories were fair. Thanks (2 years, 10 months ago)

Core Crew @ #55099: Awesome (2 years, 10 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #55101: Nice ideas but one weak connection. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Pat @ #54718: Clever (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55090: Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55092: Nice. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55089: Got it with one life left. Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55088: Two were easy. Two I didn’t get in time. Liked Dorition 🙂 5* (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55079: Supermarket line was the only one I saw straightaway, such is my level of intellect. Ty. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55067: You did get me! It didn’t click! I’m never good at wordy ones. Wd! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Ella osborne @ #55035: Very good😀 (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55063: Not bad- didn't mind it : D (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55085: Nice TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55088: Nice TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55090: Nice work TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

CoffeFondue @ #51803: That was easy (2 years, 10 months ago)

Fam @ #55063: Haha, very good. You had me a bit, thinking it can’t be as straightforward as this and then going round in circles with the red herrings ( I try to be systematic when there are 6 to see if I can still narrow it down but I think it’s still by accident in the end ). Only connection I didn’t get quite right was ‘etiquette’ but The Doors was good. Ty (2 years, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #54952: Hey TheDarkNight why throw shade at Lorna - I love her grids! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Jmelb @ #55067: Almost got me! Then it clicked, very good TY (2 years, 10 months ago)

CoffeFondue @ #51462: So easy (2 years, 10 months ago)

MrGetownedLP @ #33156: PogU (2 years, 10 months ago)

CoffeFondue @ #54795: Everything is just V (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55083: Nice grid, got my confetti. Thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54978: An excellent grid. I was able to spot one group, as I have used it myself. Thank you for posting, and my confetti! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55089: Excellent, numerous red herrings. Threw me off track for a while, got there though. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55090: Great, enjoy the sequences grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55069: Very good grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55088: Very good grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54869: Ooh, a phantom group, fiendish but excellent, as I like using them myself; I kept trying to put A.H.'s films together, and it wouldn't work, but got the connections. Thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55083: I really enjoyed this. Great mix of themes, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54952: Excellent! 'Happy as _' was a new one on me, but was able to get my confetti; nicely done, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #55082: Seeing that you were Australian... the circuit breaker herring was particularly nasty :p (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54971: Very nice, my first 10 in a few days, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55075: Liked the complexity, got nowhere. In the answers, it took me a minute to see the 'Queen follows male trunk ending' then I got it. A fun learning experience, thank you! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55082: This was hard but good, I got one group (knew two) and three connections. The Cash line was a stumper. Thank you for a tough challenging grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #55086: Very Good, was a not-so-wild guess on the Starr line, since I only knew two, but was happy to be right. Got a respectable 7/10, thank you for the grid! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54308: That's what I get for not checking the answers when I get a group correct; silly me! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54336: Fam, I watched the first two episodes of Taskmaster, and to be honest, it was kind of 'meh', at least to me; I may not have been in the right mood, and will try it again later. More recently, however, I have been immersing myself in series 17 of Only Connect, and thinking that making these grids has improved my lateral thinking, as I have gotten several more questions right than I normally would. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55078: I danced all around that teaks line but couldn't get it. Cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54515: Yes, St John, 'Kil' was tricky. I looked for initials, abbreviations, etc, and found an obscure Dutch word, and was thrilled; if I use this letter sequence again, and I do, God help me! (2 years, 10 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54442: You are correct, Dude, my apologies; I should have used an Italian city since 'Dio' is 'God' in Italian. Thank you for keeping me on my toes. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55080: Excellent grid. Good red herrings, cheers. (2 years, 10 months ago)

Hamburger @ #55081: 10/10 confetti. Too easy. lol (2 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55086: Very good grid. Solved the wall, got two connections. You win 10-6 Thanks for posting (2 years, 10 months ago)

Aladdin @ #55072: Love the Jess group (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #55073: With regard to the previous comment by Tbone, I had counties and cocktails accepted, maybe just a glitch? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tbone @ #55073: The groups should be the word that groups them, not just a list of all the items. Counties wasn't accepted. Cocktails wasn't accepted. You should use "count" and "cockt" to make sure it accepts answers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #54789: Stranger > Granger requires 2 letters changing to one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #55074: Only got 4/10 but boy did I have to work for those points. Great puzzle! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace of spies @ #55061: Definitely trickier than medium. Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #55045: If you get any more brilliant ideas like the 'time' group it might be worth sending to the OC question setters. 5* from me, just for that line! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace of spies @ #35398: Nice presidential red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

LGG @ #54971: Exceptional (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pat @ #54908: make you tube a correct answer for you tubers! (2 years, 11 months ago)

uxo2nd @ #54966: Enjoyed that. Maybe tweak your allowed answers - I got 'palindrome' and 'death of monarch' marked as incorrect. Thanks for submitting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Edgey @ #54977: Could not work out why dgms meant me, then saw who made it. Brilliant. (2 years, 11 months ago)

uxo2nd @ #55052: @troemyd - I did wonder about that, but both terms are used. Hope you enjoyed (2 years, 11 months ago)

troemyd @ #55052: Hairpin turn? Bend, surely. (2 years, 11 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #55045: Clever connections but not very good as a grid, since there is no overlap between the different groups. (2 years, 11 months ago)

xd12369420_XXX_doingurmum_XXX_ @ #29738: this one is garbage. so obscure (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #55045: Very inventive "time" group. Never seen anything like it. Was easy to identify as a group but had no idea of connection. (2 years, 11 months ago)

How for now @ #55022: Combining the wall and answer smash! Brilliant! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Andy Stephenson @ #55045: this is purely thought out for working out the foursomes, its way way way too easy to get them in the right quartets, no red herrings whatsoever. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #55045: I got the groups simply by similarity in form and luck, so none of the connections. Brilliant theme and connections though 5***** (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #55041: Yep, I can vouch for that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

How for now @ #55041: Enjoyed this but it's quite niche and not easy unless you study Latin! Maybe rec-categorise the difficulty level! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #55039: well constructed (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #55039: 👍 thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

How for now @ #55039: Edited to allow synonym. Sorry was an oversight! (2 years, 11 months ago)

B @ #54952: Good idea, but fairly easy (2 years, 11 months ago)

freddgar @ #55039: Very good grid, nice mix of subjects, spotted at least 2 red herrings. Maybe allow synonyms for the flinch row ? Liked the bird row. You win 10 - 6. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #55037: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54975: I wouldn’t say it’s poor. Valid groups and a few crossovers. I’d only have a slight quibble with Bake not Bak. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #55037: Nice easy grid! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54973: Some sort of glitch. Doesn’t work. (2 years, 11 months ago)

willow @ #54975: very poor.... (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #55022: Loved this one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54977: Really tough. I only got the Bucaneers then I wasn’t familiar enough to get all the others of that group. Missed the 8 cats group but I maybe would have got that if I saw the first one. Good grid. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #55029: Brilliant !! Got one row, 3 connections. Loved the turkey answer 🤣 Thanks for posting, more please. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #55022: This one was awesome! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54978: Yeah, red herrings got me too. I thought there were two MJ LPs and that I was never going to get it. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #55022: An easy one as these ones go. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #55029: Nice work 👍 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54957: Very good. By the way, it should be whisky without the e. Whiskey with the e implies Irish whiskeys, not Scotch etc. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54975: @AB, a band and Thelma (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54978: Very good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54977: Excellent grid, well constructed. Only got one row, but all the connections. You win 10 -5. Thanks for posting. More please. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54974: Nice TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fabian Pyka @ #54848: It could have been made a bit more difficult to find the correct pairs (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54946: Footballers and assasinated were incorrect as answers? Get a grip and give a wider definition of the groups. The software allows for this even for idiots. The instructions are right there on the screen when you are creating your grid. Lazy lack of effort. And believe me this is constructive, because you need a kick up the ass! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54949: Difficulty is driven by intellect. Intellect is distracted by red herrings. I would rate this grid as very difficult becuase the red herrings distracted me beautifully. Perfect example of the walls on OC. I respect that, well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Verity Goodliffe @ #54852: Great grid - thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54822: Right, found it. I’d guess that someone has marked it down because it’s difficult. I only got 2/10 ( Ug should be Ugg btw ). But I personally don’t think that grids should be marked down because of difficulty, as what is hard for me might be perfectly doable for someone else. It’s a valid grid but I think what makes it fiendishly difficult is that the nature of the connections for all of the other 3 groups makes the clues wildly different and hard to group. Dog line was interesting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: Thanks @StinkyPete, Freddgar, Ace of Spies. Yes AOS, that’s what I see as a fault of the system as if someone marks it down early doors then there’s no chance to see how it would have been rated by different people over a longer time period. So it’s skewed in favour of whoever marks it down as it can be off the page in mere minutes. I’d suggest you just make a mention of it in the comments as then people are at least aware of it and can give it a go. If nothing else you can get feedback if there was a reason it was unpopular.

Ace of spies @ #54834: This was a quality grid. I put up a grid (only my third) and it was on the home page for about 2 mins before someone gave it 2 stars and well that was it.

Lindybeige @ #54838: Clever idea for a grid. It didn't accept 'first' for some reason. A 'loser' isn't necessarily last but that's all right. Pluto fans will not be happy. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54865: There’s no logic to the spacing of the letters Aetees. The setter can split them as they like, sometimes deliberately to mislead. I think these grids are just harder the more vowels there are in the clues, or if words start or end in vowels. I by no means guessed all of these clues. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #54865: Very tricky for me. Is there a logic I am missing to the spacing of the letters? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54865: Really tricky! But fun to try to work out. V line particularly good as I had already decided DN was something it was not. SKYFLL line was really difficult even when you guess the link. Wd! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: @St John, didn’t get your second comment btw. Remember you sometimes have to spell it out for me 😄 and I think at this stage giving clues to other people would be a blessing 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: Thanks Jeannie, yes it was difficult to describe that group, let alone think what other people might put down. I put lots of different words in the acceptable answers but also hoped that people would award themselves the point anyway 🙂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: @ St John, definitely, but I’ve been thinking that from about mid season. It only takes one DNF to throw that up in the air though. I certainly think he’s deserving of it this year, and RB are in with a shot at the championship too now which I wouldn’t have predicted. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54834: other trips - ho and I say, maybe? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54834: Hi Fam, I did not spend too long on that line as others would have been SERIOUSLY cryptic. The syns were then quite easy. Also I thought possible anagrams rather than coming up with alternative rhyming.. So. looking like Max for the win? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #54834: Great grid, and I got all the links, but the answer required for the Bargy group was so obscure that I doubt anyone will get 10/10! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anastase @ #54828: Good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54828: Shirley, note the e. Groups with opposites are valid, but please choose items which actually are opposite, unlike sun and moon, for example. The vast majority of people have seen some bond films, and those that have not have certainly heard about them, because they are a universal part of the culture, so they can justifiably be regarded as general knowledge. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: @Nighteyes, or if the grid is by someone I recognise I might refresh to give myself more time to figure out the connections. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #51969: "Almost singer Lavigne" went from making no sense to me, to making perfect sense. Well done! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: @Nighteyes, thanks for attempting and for feedback. Realised that muddled sale might be confusing but both words were there for a reason in a way. I thought someone might know Mayday then pick out that group. Then you’re looking at a smaller set of words, and onwards… I often don’t get any groups then answers seem more obvious once the grid is resolved. Or I just like reading the connections anyway even if I would have never got them. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54701: I loved that the clues for the 4 letter words were the easiest to figure out, which gave more information for resolving the others! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54826: 10/10 with half the time left. I put "sleepy" where you were looking for "synonyms", because many setters do not accept that if you don't say what it is a synonym for, but I think it was a moral victory. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: @Bouldersaur 😂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54834: Oh! I see. I was filtering by USA, I see it now. For sure, I think it's hard for folks to remain neutral after they've gotten 0/10 on a puzzle! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: Thanks Bouldersaur. I once had it explained to me that if your grid gets awarded less than 3 stars then it will go off the main page and can only be found by specifying that you want to browse grids of that rating. People wouldn’t generally do that so then it doesn’t get seen. But I think some people rate down because they find it hard or don’t like it, rather than rating up on difficulty and remaining neutral on quality. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54834: To be worth 3 stars it must be at least theoretically possible to solve it. This was not only exceedingly obscure, but even if one had an idea what one was looking for, there were so many ways that much of it could be interpreted, that it would take way too long to run through all the possibilities. For example, muddled sale could have been a clue for an anagram of "sale". So after eliminating the easy group, dawdle etc. I looked through all the other clues to see if they had any possible connection with lase, then seal, then leas then ales. By then most of the time had expired, and I'd barely started considering what the rest might mean. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54838: Haha, yeah it doesn’t take much to dupe me! Yeah, I try to as people take the time to post and then they have no way of knowing if people have even done them ( apart from the rating I suppose ). Nice to get some feedback though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54838: I may have been super deliberate in making pairs and trios of clues on this one...thanks for playing--I see you commenting on all the grids and that's super nice of you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54834: I gave your 5 stars! I tried to display all puzzles, regardless of ratings and didn't see this puzzle at all. I forgot to set a puzzle to "for a general audience" and it didn't show up on the site at all. Maybe that's what happened? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54838: I think I might have done a previous one of yours like this and got it, but on this one I kept finding two or three things that went together then drawing a blank and not changing tactic. I tend to either see it or smash my head against the wall 😄 You've been posting some great ones (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: Ah, thanks Bouldersaur - but reason to downgrade it on quality or just upgrade it on difficulty? I very rarely give less than 3 stars - only if someone is clearly mucking about or it’s not suitable for kids who might be playing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54838: Thanks Fam! I try to make my puzzles all have a theme and once you figure it out, my hope is it's easy to sort all the categories. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54834: I gave it my best go and got OBLITERATED. Even when resolved I had only an idea for one! Super unique topics, too hard for my lil' brain. :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54840: You who enter textspeak and symbols to prevent honest players from gaining points have the audacity to berate them as fools? Clearly your life is limited indeed if you take pleasure from peurile pranks. I'm knocking 40 points off my IQ just by chastising you for being a timewaster. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54838: Aarghh, completely missed it. 5* for you 3/10 for me ( once I read the first connection ). Should I have put it down as a medium, which it should be, or a fiendish for me 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54846: I'd like to point out that for the film group I deliberately entered 'badly spelled movies' and was awarded the points, but yet computer games and sport were marked incorrect! There's probably no need to comment as the sytem isn't perfect, but I felt the need to vent all the same. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54834: I’ve got bumped off the front page straight away. Please give it a go and give feedback so I know why. It’s on the harder side I suppose until you see it, but not hard once resolved I shouldn’t imagine. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54087: I LOVED the "Share" category. When I play the puzzle I am constantly saying the words aloud, so it made for a fun "A Ha!" moment. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bouldersaur @ #54778: Great puzzle! It had a great mix of common knowledge and more obscure and felt super balanced. More pleeeease! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54802: Quality Sunday grid as to be expected from you St John. Only managed 4/10 as I could find a couple but not all for two groups. Enjoyed reading the info though and I’ve learnt my new word for the week. Ty! Oh, and I am old enough but on the cusp as people in my class were just reminded how difficult it was going to be for them when we had a year of writing with a fountain pen.

Gridlington @ #54778: Liked the handshake group! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #54521: Sorry but Seawale is not an anagram for weasel, I don’t think prevaricate fits that group and I don’t think the cake group can be called synonyms and a cheese flan wouldn’t be a sweet one! I usually like your grids but this one isn’t up to your normal standard in my view. Sorry. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kerry @ #54767: Wow, you have rapists as a category? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54748: The idea is ok, but the groups are sloppy. Two real ales, one stout and john smiths do not make a group. Three books which are essentially word descriptions, and one set of maps - again a sloppy group. Two prostheses and two diseases. Not a group. And no, they can all be experienced by people of any age. The Holmes group is also messy. It works, but you have author, two words from the title, and a location. Very jumbled.

Freddgar @ #54002: Liked this one, slipped up on the Kiwi row Had one with lunch, (the fruit, not the other stuff) You win 10-6. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #54718: very cool! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54712: Nice and easy. Perfect bathtime fare. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Savage @ #54707: Very good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54719: 👍 (2 years, 11 months ago)

sfumato @ #54719: Very tricky grid! Well made! (2 years, 11 months ago)

kpot @ #54718: I liked this. Would have said Roxy Music or Lee van Cleef in the good bad and ugly, but same difference. Stared at Gabriel et al blankly for ages until the lightbulb moment, So 10/10 for both of us. TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54718: Haha, fell for two red herrings before I resolved it. Pleasing grid 🙂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54716: Wow, that was extraordinary KPOT! Took me a while to get them in the right groups. Bizarrely, directly before doing your grid I’d been working on that very thing myself for one line but I think you’ve done it better than I ever could. Back to the drawing board… (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54714: Fun theme, fiendishly difficult. Ty! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace of spies @ #54714: Tricky. Robbed of a point by misspelling of flin(t)stones 😲 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54699: Are you from the UK Nighteyes? The only ones I wasn’t familiar with were Mowbray and Hofstadter and they would still be known by a lot of people. Give this a go tonight before it’s too late! (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #54709: Quality grid, well done (2 years, 11 months ago)

Griddler @ #54714: Great stuff. Got really stuck on the Magic Roundabout. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54699: The overall outcome is ok, but most of the content is ludicrously obscure. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54700: Potentially ok as an idea, but the majority of the "opposites" were simply different. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54707: Quirky. Playful. Good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54712: Oops, just didn’t know my Ginsbergs. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54712: (2 years, 11 months ago)

kpot @ #54710: Have almost got it sussed. Start with vowels first (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #54657: Agreed fam, enjoyed the grid otherwise though (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54710: Got there eventually but definitely needed more time. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54710: I’ve realised that I find these really difficult even with pen and paper 😳 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54706: Thanks KPOT. I picked up on the idea and the fourth clue quickly but hadn’t noticed about the first clue. It’s a great format. I guessed Crackling Good and Fore and worked backwards from there but for the others I didn’t know the final clue so I just worked with the remaining possible letters to try to form words that might fit. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #54696: Vert nice. I could really go for some LMN MR NGP about now. (2 years, 11 months ago)

kpot @ #54706: Thanks. It does have a visual look of difficulty, but not that much different to the ones WV and you and others have done recently. The principle is the same. I don't know if you noticed but all 1st start with the letter in question and I tied to leave a clue in the 4th slots. As they are all numbered this reduces the risk of fumbling around too much. From these I thought it would lead one to the answer. Obviously I did not accept just the first letter. (2 years, 11 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #54699: Very nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzler @ #54002: Thanks for the feedback. J - Fruit is rejected because you could have included banana. The link is that they are companies not fruits. Fam - Most people think Boris is his first name - it's actually Alexander and apparently he's known to friends as Alex, not Boris. Martin - good suggestion - I thought Kiwi might send people down a NZ line as a red herring. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54706: Another great idea KPOT. I needed about ten minutes though. Managed 4/10 as it’s very hard if you can’t hazard a guess at the fourth clue. Would love more of these! Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzler @ #54180: I like this grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54703: A nice twist (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54698: Yeah, I thought that too St John. Especially as it’s a flippin’ funny grid 🙂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54698: It's OK Aetees, we know that this is not you (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54707: It's good to have fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54707: Haha! Well no complaints from me and honoured 😄 Had trouble finding one group but then I looked up and it came to me. And you were right, STN KYPT was indeed all I could see! ( when I put that together with FM in one group and it was wrong I felt a little silly for my conceit ). Thanks and keep them coming! (2 years, 11 months ago)

StinkyPete @ #54707: Hopefully folks see this as a bit of fun and don't rate it down too much! (2 years, 11 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #54703: 1 is not a prime by definition (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #54700: Nice idea .Some of the 'opposites' are a bit tenuous though (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #54703: Depends if you count 1 as a prime or not, Jesse (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54696: Another good one, nice and easy when you spot the plot. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #54703: Very good, should the clue that says "8th prime" not say "7th prime" though? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54701: nasty - but in a nice way :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54704: Fun, funny wd ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54701: Well done, really enjoy these type of grids. Couldn't resolve the wall, got all the connections. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54704: very nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54701: Well done Fam [bloody skirts] lol (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54704: 👍 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54703: 👍 (2 years, 11 months ago)

TimC @ #54703: Most enjoyable and educational. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54699: Lovely (2 years, 11 months ago)

TimC @ #54701: Loved it. Most enjoyable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

William F @ #54117: This for nerds. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54700: This was a brilliant idea KPOT. Really enjoyed it! Got everything but the He is cold group. Wouldn’t mind trying one of these myself sometime. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

William F @ #54691: Really well done! Keep puzzgridding! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54699: Very clever Langers! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #54206: Baseball group also all played with bats, ala your racket group. Bowling whether ten pin, duck pin, candle pin, or any form of lawn bowling, petanque, bocce - team or league sports. Bowling can be done solo but commonly as a team sport in a league, just like bowls. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54701: Hope you don’t mind me giving it a go WVPuzzler ( even used your wording to describe connection ). Think it should be quite easy. Let me know ( that’s anyone ). Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #54179: I believe Alfred the Great and Cnut count as House of Denmark. Good grid. Hope my remark clears up the confusion. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54668: I really must brush up on my Frisian and Bahasa! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54698: Good grid - nice red herrings and good groups (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54698: Good grid - nice red herrings and good groups (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #54670: Fun idea. Good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nettie @ #54646: Bravo old man. More please (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54693: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54696: Nice enjoyed it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54698: Nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54698: Haha, liked that! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #54596: Great! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #54612: Good. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54696: Yep, easy one once you clock on. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #54616: I liked it... very good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #54618: What the link is would be good. I have no idea.. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54637: That brings back memories. And I used to be sitting there with a little mantilla on my head < : o (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54689: A bit on the specialist side - I scored 0/10 for the first time! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54674: Thanks Stj, that is going to be very interesting. Guildensterns, no less! (Actually, she does have Scandinavian eyes). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54670: That was fun. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54693: Definitely think these are considerably harder than it seems as the setter. Got these eventually. I like to try to work out every clue even if I’ve already got the groups ( took a while to get FLT NK ). Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #33247: 👍 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #33247: Shock, horror - how an anyone call Lorna “sloppy” - another clever, accessible and intriguing wall (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54664: Easy one. Only had a little stall with the underover line. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

RMP @ #54686: Sorry to be picky, but there are a lot of misspelling in this grid. They are distracting because there is (for example) no Caribbean island called Jamaca, it's Jamaica. The rest are: Girls', Bentley, Antigua, Triple H. Unless the misspellings are there for a reason? Also the Harpur Trust set is wrong/out of date. There is no school called "Bedford Prep" but there is "Bedford School" (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54676: Wasn’t so clued up on this one. Got Hemmingway but then only one other after resolution. ( Dry sack/bag not made of Tex btw. It’s a bag with a roll top closure that provides a watertight enclosure by the way it’s secured. Usually made of nylon with a siliconised waterproof coating ). (2 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #54686: Also Antigua spelled wrongly. (2 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #54686: Not great. Didn't accept car as the answer was probably set to cars. Should use singular as advised. Jamaica spelled wrongly. Bedford line way to localised knowledge. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54679: Excellent grid. Love the vowelless walls. Solved the wall, failed on the 2 and RY LFMLY rows You win 10 -6, more please. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54679: I wish I could learn from you StinkyPete. This works wonderfully. Mainly it’s really not important to try to disguise stuff. It’s hard enough as it is if you’re not the setter. And having 4 distinctly different groups makes it better too. Got all the groups but 4.0 was only by default so didn’t know what that was. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54679: Who can forget Splodgenessabounds - got them all bar the McClane. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54641: Nice idea TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54637: Shoulda seen me - short back and sides "slarted" with vaseline hair tonic and I could swing a mean thurible censer at benediction. That was my swinging sixties (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54670: Enjoyed this, TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54674: Well I don't want to spoil it, BUT, Judi is a Massive Shakespeare fan [not unlike yourself]. To cut a long story short[ish] it turns out she has strong Danish heritage [sounding familiar?] with past relatives [Guildenstern] living at Helsingør [Elsinore] castle when Billy boy was there! Spooky eh? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54670: Very nicely worked and timely. Nice and easy, really liked it, especially the A group. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54637: oh no! really?! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54676: These are fun! Lesley was my in. Tommy's song was easy because, believe it or not, I sang it in my grade 6 concert lol. (yes I can just about remember back). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54674: I tried to get it on Youtube but they didnt have the full episodes only a few minutes-most annoying. Hope someone will post it soon. However instead I watched the one about the chap who seems to be related to every possible royal-amazing! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54674: You wouldn't, you cannot - you DID! LOL.There was o other reason I could think of for including Ronnie. I still love the Margaret Hamilton fiery story. ps did you manage to see Judi Dench? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54658: Thank you J (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54663: Nice one, I suppose Count Dracula could swap the bite and kills? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54658: Bit of a challenge here, loved it. I have said it before but my stars seldom seem to show up on your score?? Take it as a given. TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54660: By Jove, nice grid. Liked the U.S. twist (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54657: Too many possible swaps of words between groups. Setback, comedown, wind down, put up, man up, break up, close down, set down….. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anastase @ #54646: Good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54658: That’s more like it! Got everything but hadn’t heard of Boxty, or unit 4 + 2. I had Everything Everything but it still works. You realise what you’ve done with Sea Tups I take it ( I thought at first I was going to have to try to find homowotsits ). Wd, glad to see you’ve not been traumatised. 5* (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duffy @ #54637: Great grid. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duffy @ #54646: Misspelling of Manhattan sent me in the wrong direction looking for numbers 🤣 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duffy @ #54658: Great grid. Really good fun. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54645: Thanks Fam, the other better as I introduced a theme which pulled it together a bit more. Back to the drawing board eh? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54658: Bit of scattergun fun (2 years, 11 months ago)

S. Sanders @ #49812: NOT BAD @ ALL (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: I did give this a go on paper St John as I’d already written it down. It’s definitely too hard without ordered letters though as there are too many possibilities to narrow down. At least you gave it a go. Some people don’t post at all. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54647: Ah St John, don’t be so hard on yourself ( we’re doing a pretty good job of that 😉 ). I didn’t get to give the other ones a go but you could have just changed them to the letters and numbered them as in Simon’s original. I found that a reasonable challenge in itself in the time, and don’t forget that some people are just doing these on their phone on the train ( or in the bath @Nighteyes 😂 ). Keep at it…..the scattergun fights on! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54641: sorry Simon, I may have muddied the waters for you (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54647: 645,647,648 now removed. if anyone plays through to end just give it 1 quality star and it will leave the front page and stop wasting the time of players sorry about that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Sam @ #54547: it was crap (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: ?? 🧐 what’s going on now? Came back to try this and now it’s a load of symbols?? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54641: I got the idea, but too late to find more than one group. Yes, paper would have helped, but I'm in the bath, so it might have got a bit soggy. What would also have helped is if the answers were connected. Like xray, zulu, papa and mike for example. (2 years, 11 months ago)

kaphc @ #54646: Lovely connections on this wall. I got slightly distracted by the wrong spelling of Manhattan, and wondered if this was a deliberate mistake but I don't think it was? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54647: I’m your biggest fan…..but this is madness. Having to work out the letters just consumes time with a pedestrian task, and then without any ordering of the letters it seems too much of an ask….sorry…..I love the cryptics, trivia input, wordplay and English lessons though 😀 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54648: 646, 645, 648 removed (2 years, 11 months ago)

S. Sanders @ #54583: Not Bad... (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54645: Anthony - be my guest - using the same numbers and come up with four different ones would be impressive. This was off the cuff, I did better on my second one. BUT as Simon say's "if you [all] do not like it, I shall refrain (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54646: Nasty. Only managed 2/10. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54646: Hard but fair. Nice mix. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Antony @ #54645: I mean even with the answers that makes no sense, and there is no connection between numbers, they make words in code. I dare say i could have created several other words. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54645: As I said, it is a variation on Simon's. No maths knowledge required. Perhaps use my later one. It is better. It is as easy as 1,2,3 - a,b,c...... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: Okay, I need a clue so I know whether it’s worth me trying to work it out. Are we applying mathematical functions to get a total. I might have an idea, I’ll get back to you….. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54647: Last one (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: Oh dear, I’ve got the hiccups again. Take 2. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: Hmmh, I’m not happy about this but I’ll give it a go. I’d considered that rule but then wondered whether that means we are using various mathematical functions. Anyway, it’ll come out in the wash but this might be a scattergun example. (2 years, 11 months ago)

kaphc @ #54602: Oh my goodness, that Tangerine group is genius! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: Hmmh, I’m not happy about this but I’ll give it a go. I’d considered that rule but then wondered whether that means we are using various mathematical functions. Anyway, it’ll come out in the wash but this might be a scattergun example. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dude @ #54442: The grid is generally good, but the singular for god is spanish is Dios not Dio. It is strange that it has the s so I can see how you got it wrong here but it is a mistake in the puzzle. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54645: Variation on Simon's. yes I know there are two of the same, so that rule applies, keep the pen and paper at the ready (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54645: @St John - what? I even got a piece of paper thinking it was going to be a letters grid. Is this even going to work, you’ve got two 16s in there….. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54645: @Simon, can I play? (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #54641: Confetti, 34 secs left on the clock. Good fun, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54641: Yes, it works well Simon. I guessed what I had to do anyway but was too lazy to get a piece of paper which would have helped. Hardest part was to keep flitting around the grid for letters and I ran out of time so needed one refresh. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54639: 5* (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54641: I think people will like this. We are constantly looking for original ideas, Got my confetti, just in time. Do not think you needed to give your clue, but you have. Can see you getting grid of the week [yet again!] no jealous, honest. very good, and would like to see others ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54639: Oh stunning Midge, with the crossovers too. Much like St John’s grids of recent, I had to refresh once to get, but great grid. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #54641: To explain what is happening here. What you need to do is create four, four letter words. 1st represents the first letter of the word, 2nd represents the second letter of the word and so on, this is to help you. There is only one unique solution. This might take longer than 3 minutes so you could refresh it before the time ends. I just want to see whether people like the concept. If its not good, you won’t see another one of these. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54637: I’m not giving you credit for that line. I know you can do it…. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gorgon @ #54442: I'm still a bit lost on the Mr Poe one. is it just because you put "it" after a P? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54631: 🤣🤣 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54631: @ St John 😄 I saw that and was going to reply but figured you can fight your own battles. I was right 😄. I was just going to say, “ yes it does, or can “. You came out all Martin Brundle on the grid walk in Austin with Megan Thee Stallion ( please google if you didn’t see this - 23 second clip posted by F1 Gamer on YouTube ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54610: @Malcontent Haha, it’s just as well I miss these red herrings as well as the genuine clues 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54636: Thanks. Got two groups then got caught up finding men’s names within words. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54605: Very good. Can't believe I missed the market connection. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54610: @Fam - I thought there was an incomplete A Team group, as a red herring, and that there might be a Mask group, because of Zorro, Face & Ski. (2 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #54612: 10/10 ... fun grid with good herrings. Nice work! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54635: Liked your last three grids Dan, but no,no,no on this one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54631: @Ragman - "Confer" to grant or pri-zent a title or honour for example, or [from the Latin con + ferre to bring together] for example to discuss - the root of the word conference [nothing to do with dessert pears], and PS - yes I can if I want to. :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54614: I knew the theme was how they were named, but couldn't find the answers! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54629: To me it seemed very much like the answers matched the clues. Confetti and 5* for a fun grid for you. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54625: @thenorman 😄 perfect now. Nice clean grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54616: @St John, that’s why it’s nice if people put a little explanation in the answers for us bozos. (2 years, 11 months ago)

thenorman @ #54625: Yeah the two Suns was an error I fell for my own red herring! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54616: @St John - thanks. I’d actually googled straight afterwards and realised my booboo. I’d heard of that term, just didn’t make the small step from the clue ( I didn’t know its origin until today however ). Same with the cabins, my dad told me that many moons ago. Didn’t know about Peterborough but all in all I was just an ignoramus. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ragman @ #54631: That's not what confer means....you can't just make things up.... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54629: Good grid. Couldn't solve the wall. Got all the connections, obvious after the reveal. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54631: Man I have to work hard for the confetti these days! ( ever since that changed clues ‘incident’ I’ve become determined to work out your grids even if I have to refresh….well, if I feel I’m close ). Just one refresh needed 😄 You were kind to gift knell. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54630: Nice and easy, 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54628: @SC - learn to read [two made up words] boatox & addernoids? 😀😀 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54616: @Fam - a term used by Roy Keane former captain of Manchester United - "prawn sandwich brigade" a derogatory term for the people who attend football matches primarily to enjoy luxury boxes and corporate hospitality, rather than support a team. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #54152: Ores fall in together because the other 3 groups are simple. The members of the "ores"........................................ (2 years, 11 months ago)

SC @ #54628: Boatox ?????? Learn to spell. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #54149: Two groups make sense if you do not know anything about Pokemon. Sorry, but super-niche walls are a waste of time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SC @ #54629: Rubbish, most words could be preceded by all of these aswers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

gbrljt @ #54628: Brilliant puzzle with a cool theme and clear logical path! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54628: Well done. Lots of crossovers to contend with. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54628: Didn't spot the months until it was too late! Nice grid, if a bit flexible on the snake spellings! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54616: It’s ok. I really should google first! Sorry CEB - great line! 😂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54616: Thanks Fred. What about prawn sandwich eaters though? Just literal? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jimdas @ #54626: Confets.. but tbh some words were alien to me, thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #54583: 10/10 in less than a minute. This grid speaks to me as a music, religion and LA sports fan! Well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54616: Good grid, nicely worked. Thanks for posting. @Fam It's Peterborough FC nickname. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54625: Just change one of the suns to something else for it to work. You can’t have two identical entries in a grid ( unless they are going to appear in the same line, which someone did the other day ). Other than that, good. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54626: Nice and easy, 10s all round Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54626: Thanks KPOT. Works well as a straightforward grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

werdna @ #54606: Easy but fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

kaphc @ #54612: Lovely wall with nice straigthforward connections and some good red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #54625: needs an edit (2 years, 11 months ago)

werdna @ #54626: Great fun. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54554: Right, I’ve changed this for a ‘final’ time. Subjectively picked the most well known or easiest to spot examples of each category so hopefully doable even if this isn’t your area of interest. Refresh! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54554: Thanks Edwaldo, feedback is great as it’s so so hard to pitch the missing vowels ones correctly. I’ve changed this grid so many times but I might modify again so that they are easier to spot, then people can try to find the link. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #54602: Good grid. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Edwaldo @ #54554: FIENDISH! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #54610: Good grid. Well constructed . (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #54615: Well thought out grid. A shade easy but quality. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #54616: Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Core Crew @ #54602: Class. You actually have Mel B in Melbourne, not just Mel :) Briliant! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Edwaldo @ #54612: Very nice! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #54576: Brilliant stuff. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Edwaldo @ #54569: A superb effort (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54567: Hi Fam. I think I put it as "hard" rather than "fiendish" but these evaluations seem to get changed by PuzzGrid. Thanks for playing my grid though! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54617: Thanks, I wasn’t familiar with the Desmond line overall but had heard the Desmond term itself. Nova line made me laugh as I was expecting it to be far more educational. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54612: Great fun grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54616: Got a couple of the links once the grid was resolved. Peterborough line let you down though, unless I’m missing something. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Weston @ #54616: Nice one. The pig reference got me (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54615: 7/10, oh the long and winding.... wd ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54615: Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54613: very good, appreciate the humour thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54613: Great grid Weston. 10/7 to you. Missed the land connection but good one. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54612: Fine for a bit of fun. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54610: I didn’t know there were any red herrings? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54610: Quality grid Midge. Just missed the Zorro connection. Enjoyable, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ben @ #54596: Loved the 'death' group :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54597: Knowledge based not word play, in case you’re wondering whether to persevere. Thanks but beyond me, esp Palkia group ( should have a category of their own or some kind of warning in my mind 😖 ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54585: Thank you - my head hurts and I need more caffeine! Really good crossovers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54610: Nice. Not too hard. Once I'd discarded the obvious group which was a red herring, two groups fell into place right away, the third wasn't hard to separate, but finding the fourth link (Collier Yates) was beyond me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54603: Great grid but, being not as clever as some and now having learnt a new word (!), I had backwords refused which is usually okay. Thanks for the new word which I love! (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54605: Thank you - didn't make all the connections but got the links when connections made. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54606: Fun one for some confetti. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54605: Good grid. Gran Canaria I believe but still possible to guess. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54606: Good grid. Never knew that about Alderney, I was a fan too. Live and learn. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54596: Very good, liked the death thingy. But...I put ring for the Fellowship line (don't ask), got marked correct ! You win 10-5. Should be 10-4 😉 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54596: Very good, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #54591: Very fooled by this wall, I was convinced I'd seen connections and was trying to make groups of things that weren't there! The penny dropped when I started naming the connections and from then on I did better (2 years, 11 months ago)

chad @ #54600: GARRBO FLARBO (2 years, 11 months ago)

Squadxzo @ #54593: Just decided it was probably better to make slight adjustments to the last clue to make it a more reasonable thing to guess while making the clue more specific. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Squadxzo @ #54593: No idea how to judge how hard this one will be but I tried to make it somewhat fun with a bunch of crossovers. Also not sure how to best clue or phrase to accept for the last group so I was quite lenient. Anyway I like it for my second grid hope you do to. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54570: I suspected foods mentioned in Life of Brian, but could not make a single group. FIendish indeed, beat me soundly. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54571: Your descriptions on retailers and bands failed to encompass a broad enough description. The tools are there to do better. I suggest you do the same. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54578: Wall, folk etc completely sent me on the wrong track. A great wall definitely in the spirit of the show. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #30596: A fun wall, nice to have a go at and fairly easy to solve. Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

DaBaby @ #54589: Let's goooooo (2 years, 11 months ago)

edurita @ #54544: Satisfying (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #54578: I liked this wall, some good red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

Red @ #54544: So good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #54544: Nice one, Hamburger! (2 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #52397: 10/10 ... got two groups based on sounds (2 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #52450: 2/10 ... not my favorite (2 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #52444: Got real lucky with the gem cuts. 10/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #52475: 6/10 ... clever with the Oline (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54578: Good wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54581: Nice grid. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54572: One word - mean. Ok - and good. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cumilo Gomz @ #54580: this is harder than expected (2 years, 11 months ago)

Savage @ #54552: Enjoyed your grid, as always (2 years, 11 months ago)

Savage @ #54552: Possessive pronouns didn’t count? (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #54544: yay! (2 years, 11 months ago)

sfumato @ #54518: Is the Washington group just actors? Not a strong connection. Same could be said about geometry terms, although those are slightly more specific. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54576: Liked the starfish line info. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54570: Niche (2 years, 11 months ago)

eggdealer @ #54575: very hard difficult i love you this board Very amazing (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ludicroususper @ #54564: @Antny thanks for pointing that out. I don't know how I made that mistake. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54568: Pleased with confetti on this friendly grid as I finally applied stuff I learned from other grids - dodged a red herring, remembered some new trivia, applied a technique. Ty! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54567: Oh dear, yes, that IS going to be fiendish. I recognised my first few and then….. oh no wait a minute. I’ll wait for someone to give some clues. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54534: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54534: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54541: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54556: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54565: I enjoyed this. Thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54560: St John, yep. I didn’t know any of them. It’s been a busy day on google. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54541: Very nicely done frenalen. Go on I'll third it. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Antny @ #54564: I got two groups as well. The Hym would have been easier if it was Rhym. Also, I don't know carry on films very well. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54560: Thanks, not a bad grid, works what more do you want? Now, what is a villiant? Nitro for the non professional is just a reference to the gas mixture for tap poured stout or other "smooth" beers [70% Nitrogen 30% Co2] this produces smaller bubbles and gives these beers their characteristics. Would have preferred Oyster but it's your grid and none the worse for that. Now Fam have I confirmed what you were thinking? Profilier! ;-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54565: Good good. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54541: I second that. Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Sue @ #54541: Lots of red herrings - very nice! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54564: Wld I b rght n gssng yv sd th Mtrn lnk n nthr grd? (2 years, 11 months ago)

William F @ #54553: Bit much mate (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54564: Nothing wrong with it. I got two groups and Mtrn. You could make that group easier with Cmpng, Dctr, or Pthkhybr which are easier to guess and better known ( to me at least ). And the Hym group seems out of place with the others. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54560: Very bizarre mix. There’s at least one that you will get in here St John, and I imagine one that will annoy you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #54564: Total rubbish. Impossible. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54559: Oh how annoying that I gave up. It’s been so long that I forgot about that one and couldn’t get anything. Hats off though, very clever. You deserve a rest! (2 years, 11 months ago)

pog @ #36889: pog (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54558: My knowledge nowhere near enough to get this. I only knew one clue and guessed one other that might go with it. Nice ideas though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54544: Really good - solved it, but even when I had the first 3 groups, it took a minute to get the 'back' answer (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #54553: I kind of enjoyed it, even though I failed to get all the lines and links (two lines and three links). The 'Trivial' line was total crap though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54554: Sorry Langers. It’s normal to break the words in random places in these style grids, and I followed the pattern of capitalisation only at the beginning of each clue ( I realise that lower case ‘l’s [els] can be mistaken for capital ‘i’s [eyes] though ). I would have capitalised the whole lot but some people don’t like that either so it’s hard to please everyone. Hope you still enjoyed some ( tip - I just refresh if I think I’ve almost got it but need more time ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #54559: I reckon this should go in Fiendish as well!! Very clever, well done! (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #54559: One of your most memorable grids for me was this type. And now there's Manky .... :D, TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54554: May have had half a chance if the words broke in the right places or if capitalisation matched! I realised they were films, but would have needed two days to work them all out! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54555: That's my lot for today. Remember, if you learn one new thing each day, then your skul bone wil be ful by the time you is owld. Have fun everyone, and play nicely :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54559: I reckon that goes in the fiendish category! (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #54480: Quality grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Core Crew @ #54554: Works great now :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54551: Original and challenging - enjoyed this one (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54556: Easy peasy, you didn’t dupe me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Core Crew @ #54556: Very funny :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54555: Gave it a refresh as I didn’t want to waste your hard work and got full marks on second attempt. I see you sneaked in sou. Are you sure you aren’t a teacher? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54554: That is a bit better/neater. As I only got the one line before , and now you take that from me. If I was not paranoid I might assume a little payback! However I am not [any more] and struggled I saw two from each, [definitely giving up my other moniker] Nice one Fam (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54554: If you came late to this good for you as I’ve completely changed it and hopefully corrected mistakes ( tell me if not ). It’s supposed to be easy and accessible with an extra link to find. This is a totally different grid now St John, so you won’t get lost in the M room. I’ll use that in another now though, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54554: Sorry, I’ve completely changed this now, so comments are going to seem crazy. Should have decided first then posted but I did it on the fly. Must try harder. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54555: a slight reworking (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcolm @ #54552: sounds a bit like a weak connection (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #54554: No, no, not too easy! (Edit: add a T and lose an N on Hshn... and add a T on Hbck ... ?) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ant @ #54554: I got the cars link but nothing else, perhaps because a number of clues are missing random consonants e.g. Hclrfmny should begin with a T. I also think if you're going to do three groups of films, you might as well go the whole hog and do four groups. (2 years, 11 months ago)

fgddfg @ #53688: ok (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54554: 5*, - not for me you did not. However I saw M and stayed in that room, so no wonder I only got 2/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

William F @ #54510: Look! I do like you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54554: Think I made it too easy (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54553: Yep, fiendish. A big fat zero. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Phun @ #54544: As with any grid, the initial idea is the hardest part however for a similar grid I find this helpful. thefreedictionary dot com (2 years, 11 months ago)

Noah Krieger @ #54372: i know u didnt just say a whale is a type of fish (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54552: Should have done better on this but spent too much time on the Otic line. Got one line though and could see them all after. Grrr, bad tactics. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54553: Very good, but a bit too clever for me. I saw what the trivial group link was, but couldn't find the right term- that one's a bit of a fake link anyway. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54549: Very good but I was angry that I missed one connection. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

John Waterstone @ #54230: very cool!!!!1!!11!!11!!!!!!1111! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54551: That’s a nice format. Only managed 5/10 as I could only find two of each group though I guessed what I was looking for. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54546: Completely fooled me. Particularly liked the Two and we all fall line. Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Antny @ #54546: Tricky grid, some explanations would be nice in the answers so it's clearer what you were thinking. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54544: I’m enjoying these ones at the moment. Didn’t even spot what it was to begin with but managed a full house with one refresh. Are they hard to construct? Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anon @ #54544: I couldn't make head nor tail of it. :( (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54550: 4/10 is good for me on one of these. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54543: Very good red herrings, but a bit samey with all the groups based on wordplay. (2 years, 11 months ago)

stjohn @ #54530: ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Caz2 @ #15312: Too many alternatives available for 1st and 2nd lines (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54530: Didn’t figure out the pattern so was only grouping a couple of clues at a time, therefore 10/3 to you. Check out your description for finch. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54529: Yes it is puerile, but fun and tricky. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #54528: A good one, THX! (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54480: Cathedral City was a particularly fine touch. Great fun, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #47453: Quite happy to have got two of these. There are no comments from the film buff people so perhaps they missed it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54517: Very good. Got flummoxed 'twixt with Monster's and Foot. Well done, you win 10-6 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54515: St John, no mystery, I am an idiot. I didn’t figure the second clue and I didn’t know the third, so I just ventured salt as a different flavour to sweet. Thanks WV (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54515: (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54515: Fam, if it accept salt, it will accept salamander, stromboli etc, as the grid setter has it set up accept s,sa, etc.. so all that is needed is the first letter. Tough why you entered salt is a mystery (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54515: Did you have to search hard for chilly dutch? ty WV (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54511: Simple but somehow pleasing/satisfying ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54476: Good lad! : D (2 years, 11 months ago)

m @ #54511: Way too easy, same idea repeated 4 times and no red-herrings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54515: Thanks, Fam. I checked everything, and the settings were correct. It may be an oddity of these grids because the same thing happens on the other lines. It's a mystery. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54515: Thanks, Fam. I checked everything, and the settings were correct. It may be an oddity of these grids because the same thing happens on the other lines. It's a mystery. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54515: Thanks WV. I think you must have your answers set up very loosely or there’s a glitch. I didn’t know the s line, only by default, so I put salt but it still accepted it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #54480: Like philadelphia itself, perfectly pleasing but a One on the strength scale. Which to be fair, i should probably try sometimes (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #54511: Interesting idea... but if you spot the theme on first sight it falls apart immediately . A good one off though (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #53109: good theme (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #37861: Nice grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54497: Oh (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #573: Lovely grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54497: One group I’ve neither heard of the connection or the people. I’ll look it up now. Every day’s a school day. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54511: I feel such an idiot. I completely missed it. Tried all the synonyms together then just had a brain block. Kept thinking, “ I’m sure this was down as a medium “. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54496: You got me with the red herring and 4 terms I wasn’t familiar with. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54510: Definitely forgiven. Enjoyable grid. Only got one group before but easy to see the connections ( apart from the specifics of that one ) after, which to me spells a skilled grid. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54476: Hi Fam, I'm sorry, Auntie Jmelb says I must play nicely. :-)) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #54476: Seeing you changed it, Stj I think you should be more generous to Fam haha. Glad you are without family at the moment, since you confessed they are helping you - most unfair!! Lovely job TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duffy @ #54482: Grrrrr you got me with the Boycott group. Great grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #49628: Very good - nicely done (2 years, 11 months ago)

poop @ #32645: replace the first letter with "tw"? You can make any words fit if you take some letters away and replace them with other letters. The point of this is to find the connection not find what the connection would be if they were other words (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #54476: clever, but I needed more time! (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #48818: I have three words for this grid. The first two are "piece of" and you can guess the third yourself. One answer is wrong entirely and the other three don't match even when typed correctly. Back to the drawing board you go. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #54024: Lucy must have double vision. I only see one. Five minutes would have been kind. Wouldn't have done me much good but would have been kinder than 3 minutes. This was a fiendish board. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #54480: fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #54018: Very well constructed. Very difficult. Few will get the Anne of Green Gables group except by process of elimination. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #54003: The nonsense words group is an absolute joke. What the **** do those piles of poo have to do with the answer? A grid you won't score maximum points on unless you wrote the grid. Pathetic. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheBogeyman @ #54492: Bugger that was hard. Got the groups but a tough one for a non-Aussie to work from. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54477: I got 7/10, missed the Cowboy group. Took a guess with nationalities, ended badly. A very good grid. Thank you for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54479: Trifle did not accept trifle. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54480: Excellent grid. I saw two groups immediately, and worked out the other two. Dairylea, I've only heard of through Graham Norton stories. Very clever, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54480: Ditto (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54476: My American English nearly cost me the Vat group. I was racking my brain going through relationships, and there it was. Very nice, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54368: Nice grid. Second was a good clue, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54477: Too obscure ?? I'm no movie buff and got the lot. First grid, well done good work. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54480: Very good grid, nice set of red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54472: Deceptively devilish! It beat me completely! Good grid. Hard, but fair. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Caravanman @ #54368: Thanks - my first grid so glad it's OK! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Myrion @ #23323: It took me 15sec to find the four groups, because they were all very distinct with only "Myst" belonging to two groups. (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #54439: Stuck with a 4/10 cause I used the wrong capital lol Great fun as usual (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54480: Really enjoyed this. At first glance it looked it was going to be very USAcentric but there was actually a good spread of connections. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

stan @ #54442: that was entertaining, couldn't understand the date one until i saw your explanation, very clever, but I still got confetti (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54479: Loved this! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

stan @ #54472: kept trying to find an acid group, very tricky (2 years, 11 months ago)

supertailz @ #52145: Good puzzle! You might want to accept collective nouns as an option for group of animals? (2 years, 11 months ago)

stan @ #54476: couldn't find the gran but got the others, thanks for making my brain work hard (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54479: Bit of fun. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54476: Ok, forgiven, but only because it was actually quite satisfying to persevere with it and finally get it 🙂 I didn’t actually clock on to your clue. I thought it was a joking reference to you having time to post grids because you didn’t have family around. I thought of the possible connection after solving two lines. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #54477: I don't think it's too obscure (surely the kind of people who play quizzes like this are also the sort of people who are culturally aware enough to have at least heard of most of the films here), but the issue with grids where all the links are essentially the same is that once you've worked out the first two groups, it's very easy to figure out the rest. Not bad for a first grid, though! Would like to see how you try one with more varied connections. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54477: Even if you don’t know all the titles you can take a punt. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54476: *go back (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54476: Sorry Fam, I started with an insect [homophone] but realised it was too close to the geriatric, so changed [after submitting ] to the more conventional option. I was hoping to do it before anyone played To be fair I did leave a clue. That was the reason I could not go ack, never want to be mean [well not on purpose anyway] forgiven? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54477: Fun and I got confetti so it’s a 10/10 from me! I’m not a movie buff so it was pitched just about right. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #54477: Oh man you've never seen Argento? You're in for a treat. Suspiria and Deep Red are two of the best horror/thriller movies ever imo. He's kind of the godfather of Giallo which is an italian horror style that was very influential. Suspiria was also remade recently and while it's definitely polarizing I enjoyed it quite a bit. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54476: Ooh you absolute rotter! I had to refresh about 10 times but I can be a stubborn so and so, so I solved it in the end! Thought there might be a theme so that helped. I got two lines fairly quickly but the short words are fiendish. Is that why you changed one of the lines btw? Did it not fit the theme? You’re still a rotter. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54476: No 😛 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54476: Let me think about it (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #54477: 4/10 for me, I am going to have to change my moniker - skolimowski? argento? duke etc - not familiar [never heard off] these directors. ty for the challenge (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54476: Oh dear, I thought perhaps I’d sent it twice by accident but not thrice. Anyway, you get the message, change it back or I refuse to play 😤 You can’t take a line away from me! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #54468: Good grid, not too hard. (2 years, 11 months ago)

VCM @ #54468: Nice one. A little on the easy side. Completed it in 1 minute. keep going just my kind of grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54476: Fam - you are just suffering from messaging hiccups! No need to call the St John's Ambulance [yes I had to edit] (2 years, 11 months ago)

VCM @ #54477: Good one. Needed a bit more time to complete but enjoyable (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54476: St John - have you just edited this? I had two lines then refreshed and now I can only find one! If you have, change it back! - remember how difficult you made your last one. If you haven’t, call me an ambulance! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54476: St John - have you just edited this? I had two lines then refreshed and now I can only find one! If you have, change it back! - remember how difficult you made your last one. If you haven’t, call me an ambulance! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #49127: Went back on your old grids Madvillain. I can’t imagine anyone getting this with the steps required but I’m impressed with its construction. How did you even imagine this? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #8387: ……… indeed (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54468: The stretch is the beauty and is what makes me smile 😄 By that stage you’ve probably got the other three groups so this has a couple of silly ones. Were you not bothered by Letsby? 😂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

ross davison @ #8387: Very clever............ (2 years, 11 months ago)

DBH @ #54468: I love the Walls by this compiler. But I do have lodge a small protest at 'Ave Maria'. As Ave has a completely different meaning here, i.e. not short for Avenue, it's a bit of a stretch. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54473: Well, I found Ramadan and spent the rest of the time trying to find hidden words. When they’re there I miss them, and when they’re not I’m in with both feet 😣 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54472: Such a friendly looking grid. So fiendish to try to work out. Just 2/10 for me. Very good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54471: Very good. Kicking myself for missing two connections. Could only think of Lady. Class. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54468: Haha, I almost didn’t get the last connection but I knew Fifth and then said Letsby in my head and laughed and imagined your mirth when you thought of it 😄 Fast fun grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #54468: That was fun! TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54466: Nice friendly one. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54462: Excellent, got confetti; BTLJC and was challenging, but it did hit me. Love missing vowels, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54461: Very nice, got 7/10, couldn't get the papa group though. Clever grid, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54462: Brilliant StinkyPete! It took me 3 refreshes before I could get them all and put them in the right groups ( with the crossovers too ). Some tricky ones but great fun. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54461: Thanks Midge. Managed two lines but the letters ones always fox me. My mind doesn’t seem to want to do that next step when I haven’t found any other connection. I should have a checklist of things to go through. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54443: I don't understand how this wall is supposed to work. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53617: Thanks Dark Knight. I think most people were put off by the puking, understandably. Crazy how many words we have for it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54442: Thank you again for another brilliant grid. These really are the best. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54420: Very nice. I got there with some guesswork. Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54443: Are the connections supposed to be the same for two groups here Theatrefana? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54440: Hi Purple. Just so you know, a grid won’t work properly if you have two clues that are the same word. Same for you CJGirlGeek. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54442: Well done, I really enjoy these type of grids. I know what to look for, finding it...well that's another matter 😉 You win 10-4. More please, thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54442: If I didn’t know the form I probably wouldn’t get these but that knowledge makes the resolution attainable and the challenge enjoyable. Got there but the purple line was only by default as I only knew p. Thanks for setting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Twitcher @ #54442: Outstanding! This might be my favourite ever grid. Sequences and the wall combined - yes please! Well done and thanks :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54439: Your skill in setting is exponentially higher than my skill in solving. I love seeing the solution afterwards and doing my own easy version once I sneak a peak at the connection then go back to the clues to find/work out the example. Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54420: Thanks St John and WV. I must admit that when setting these I sometimes go through several iterations as I think the solution is too obvious. Maybe I try too much to disguise. I’ve got an easier version which I might try out in a few weeks so keep your eyes peeled :-). (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54401: Once you see it, and everything clicks, it's a happy feeling. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54407: Nice clues, St John! I actually got three connections. I missed the Oriental Finishers (grrr, I watch that one!) group; but had a lot of fun, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54420: Ooer! Firstly I got 0. Now that's perfectly fine but I take exemption at the France item, they try to claim the Yorkshire pudding was theirs and now the cooking pot! It is a well know phrase " them that eats most puds gets more meat" A way of filling the bellies more cheaply. But as was said in northern parts of Yorkshire when they saw the pot was, is there "no mare meet" hence the origin. That's my story and I am sticking to it. -- Nicely done Fam, had fun, look forward to more to come! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bill @ #54425: I tried twice, but there's a bug where it doesn't seem to let the user submit themes for the second group onward. (It's a pity because I noticed all four rows had the same theme, namely "soccer players," though grouping sixteen examples of the same thing into four sets felt rather arbitrary.)

Notamedium @ #54425: No (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54417: I thought that too Christine but if you google it, it explains it should be buff but it has become misquoted as bluff over time due to mishearing or possibly due to alliteration with ‘blind’. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Group D is particularly hard and it would be better if clue 11 related to the surname like the others. Managed 1 line and 2 connections. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54403: Very good. Three groups are great, the closet group is I bit miscellaneous and I can't help but think there must be some clues that could be swapped from that group with ones from another - I can't find them though. Nice red herrings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54398: School time again. What’s the significance of ‘varmint’ in that clue? I worked out the others and guessed that one anyway because of ‘livered’ and the form, but I had to look up varmint and still don’t know it’s place. Good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54368: Excellent grid, I got the general drift after leg, but didn't work fast enough to solve the grid. Also completely foxed by rib. Well done, difficulty = beaten and well impressed. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54351: Thanks St John. With that in mind I gave it a go and got 6/10. Yes, the accents one was confusing as they didn’t appear as you would expect. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #54314: Goodun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54342: You’re a production line today Endurita. Came across this one that had been marked down. Got the strike a pose clues as they were more obvious and got the other lines, but the connections were hard for the lyrics groups again. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54357: @Fam, Snap, sorry if I am repeating myself and Yes Mam, I Can Boogie! 🤣 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #54357: I like this. I did a smiliar one once, a couple of years ago... Grid #31562 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54357: @Freddgar, lose one pint for "smug mode" 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54360: Haha, it took me a moment to realise what you meant by the Left group. I thought they were just some random left over words you were giving the definitions of. I really am slow today 😂 Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54351: One of those grids that pus people off at first sight, it did for me but I though OK lets see where this goes. I saw that the setter had presented a dozen times before Eng/Dutch. I quickly recognised three monetary and three Cretan and worked on those so I finally solved the wall through a bit of hit and miss. / / ^ etc did not get nor & etc. Think because they are singular the programme increases the size and this is a bit off-putting for me at least (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54357: Brilliant grid...for me. As VCM says "You either know it, or you don't" Smug me did. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54350: Though has gone into that wd (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54351: Any clues St John? I gave up as I knew I wouldn’t get anywhere. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54357: And baccara/baccarat makes its second appearance of the day 😀 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54351: interesting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54352: Hi Endurita, I’m not hot on lyrics so probably not the best judge. I know all of these songs but probably wouldn’t have got it regardless. All I could say is that a setter it often seems obvious but you can afford to make it easier. Say if you had Eleanor, rice, church, wedding, that might be easier for someone who knows that song then they know they are trying to find words in lyrics to songs. For me you could have put Jack, Stan, Roy and Gus and I might have put them together then guessed why or tried to remember the artist. Hope this helps. (2 years, 11 months ago)

edurita @ #54357: Really appreciate this, St John. I love the Coyroy line. I will bear in mind that total impossibility is not a virtue! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54352: @ edurita, take a look at it again through the eyes of someone who has no idea what is expected and see if there is something there to help. I may have done it this way #54357. Hope I have not offended. God knows I am guilty of the same (2 years, 11 months ago)

edurita @ #54352: Hi Fam, St John, pleased to learn from feedback. How could I give people a bit of a steer? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54355: Ah, the art of persuasion? 4/10 for me TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54328: Realised you were the Matchbox guy/girl too. We must have had some of the same music 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54352: Really tough, there was no indication as to what the theme was about. Well known they may all be but?? A perfect example of something looking [and hearing] familiar to the setter and assuming the player will get that. Legit grid but "an in" would help with the quality. Yup 3* (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54355: Either I’m having a slow day or today’s grids are tough. Either way I’m doing a lot of googling. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54352: I didn’t know whether to mark this down. I would see it as virtually impossible but I gave it a 3 anyway. Anyone manage it?? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54349: Quite right Dark Knight, quite right. Lang mae yer lum reek - and - diolch yn fawr, old fruit. Me Irish :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54349: InGRID Bergman 🤦‍♀️ What a buffoon! ( I knew it referred to Casablanca and I knew Ingrid Bergman, I just missed that simple last step 🙄 [ bit like AmericanO ] ) Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54349: English and British is not the same. But you already know that. Thanks anyway. (2 years, 11 months ago)

cristobal @ #54327: Good grid, but olympic committe and president are a bit vague... (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54346: That was a good one (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54349: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - book by Mark Twain Over there, over there Send the word, send the word over there That the Yanks are coming The Yanks are coming The drums rum tumming everywhere - song written by George Cohen [as played by James Cagney [the Yankee Doodle Dandy]] InGRID Bergman - actress in Casablanca (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54331: St John - ooh noooo! Part of the fun is in the challenge. I would rather learn some new words or facts than group some more beans ( unless it’s a phrase involving beans 😉 ). Keep at them! Besides, anyone can turn away from a grid they don’t like or don’t get. I’m hugely grateful to the regular posters of grids. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54308: Did you mean you hadn’t heard of them WV? It’s in the answers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Notamedium @ #54350: Not a medium that’s for sure (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54349: Managed 4/10 on the connections. Good job I know my F1 now. I’m a bit slow, could you elaborate on the Bergman, King Arthur and Over there clues. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54346: Very clever. You got me foxed because I didn’t know knight, queen or study so your red herrings were able to do their job with extra punch. Thanks for setting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54344: An eclectic mix 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54343: I’m sure these are getting harder! Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54330: I liked the hoof line, I was playing around with Greg Proops, Cowdenbeath etc. TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54330: Valid, but just personal preference - these ones drive me mad 😖 Went round in circles for ages thinking pizzas, animals etc and ended up with 2/10. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54336: Brilliant and complex as ever! Obviously only managed 2/10. Knew about the Aztecs but not what EPT stood for or the other facts. Are you watching her on Taskmaster? Another fact is that she had not learnt to ride a bike until the show. Too busy being supremely intelligent! Thanks WV! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54337: Oh OK, As has been said many times, a grid looks so much easier, more obvious when you set the puzzle. Find it difficult to get the level just right, either banally obvious or too intricate. Still learning, thanks you two for the feedback. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54331: Maybe I will leave this type to others🙄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54331: Wow, did you set out to make this fiendishly difficult? 😳 I could only make out two clues before the grid resolved and they weren’t even in the same group so I wondered whether you were taking this to another level with groups of rhyming words within words. Failed miserably, 2/10, but learnt 3 new words! Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54337: 5/10 with a bit of guesswork once the grid resolved. One of your trickier ones. It was grrrr*** (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54332: Very nice, got some confetti out of it. Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54308: 10/10. MRTS is a mystery though, lovely grid, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54336: I assume your talking about Mrs Mitchell's early career; I don't think there was anything commercially released. She wrote about it in 2002, an article is called 'I made a porn film for my 30th'; it's quite funny. Then there's her book on the subject 'Once more with feeling'. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Darren Martin @ #54323: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, Les Miserables and Waitress (whos heard fo that one though???) Also, LegginGs not Leggins... (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54334: If I may suggest, find alternatives for Oliver and one of the Bell's would make this a very nice grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54336: Great fun, found two lines and content with 4/10. Question - did she and what is it called hmmmm? Thank you WV (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #54332: Very good quiz. I was tripped up for a little by the apostrophe (should be Queen's, not Queens') as everything else seemed so well done I didn't expect the typo! But very diverse clues and connections, loved it (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #54334: Completely failed at that. The categories were a bit broader than I was expecting for this style of quiz. Very tough (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54332: A fun grid, nicely constructed. I only got 7 [poor Elvis] TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54332: Very, VERY good...and different. Could only manage 4/10 More please. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

poop @ #32501: It is called "Baked Alaska" but Alaska cannot be baked. Nobody says "baked stoner" but a stoner can be baked. So that row is inconsistent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

poop @ #32520: "house" is not hidden in "Madhouse". A Madhouse is a type of house. It's a bit like saying a type of food is hidden in "shortbread" (2 years, 11 months ago)

Enzed @ #54330: Good apart from the hoof group which was pretty lame (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54303: Nice! I managed 10, by luck - guessed the correct members of the Gambit group very quickly, and after that the other 2 groups I'd spotted fell into place. The fourth group link was also a lucky guess. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54331: You beat me soundly. I applaud that. When I check the answers everything is purely logical, if only I had the intelligence to decipher it. Highest rating for this grid, it exceeds the source material by far. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #54331: Like the concept! I knew the four words, but I struggled to group the clues. (2 years, 11 months ago)

gridlington @ #54231: Couldn't finish it, but it was a clever grid! Sometimes, when you can't get a line, you think it must be a really clever link, and it disappointingly turns out to be just plain silly. These, though, are very good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #54296: I got my confetti in the end but was thrown for a bit of a loop by the 'brilliant' line. Wouldn't that clue indicate an R and not a B? Enjoyable as always nonetheless (2 years, 11 months ago)

gridlington @ #54296: Wow! Very good! I like these more "convoluted" ones, and I got the confetti on this grid. As a few others said, I guessed one or two, but got there in the end! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53963: DBH. Maybe there should be a way to block users from accessing anything about sports figures, teams, terms unless those are relative to a user's home country. Maybe the same for politicians. Most Yanks are not really likely to guess cricketers, international football players, team nicknames, Chancellors of the Exchequer, or political party leaders other than those in the USA. Take your lumps. No one is going to score 10 on every grid. Those of us over 50 are not likely to get anywhere on Pokemon or video game franchises or superheroes. Suck it up and move on.

Core Crew @ #54295: Nice one. Good put down of Batman too :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54296: Hard puzzle for lunchtime break - these are great and I can't get enough of them but you beat me with one connection here. Thanks, WVPuzzler (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54296: Thanks WV, I was right :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54263: Boring. Half of the wall needs in-depth knowledge about one specific game franchise. Two groups were ok, but uninteresting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54297: Mixed up two groups in my answers and didn’t see them all. So mean. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54296: ....and St John as well. Sometimes, I think I'm going blind. Didn't mean to overlook you (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54296: Sorry, Fam, that was an oversight on my part, but it has been corrected, though I usually have to tweak these grids, sometimes drastically, after I post them. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54266: Great ideas, but doesn't work as a wall does in the show - only one valid solution, otherwise it's solved entirely by guesswork or mindreading. Loads of entries could be swapped between groups. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54296: Update. I found this wonderful thing called google. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54296: Toughie. Derek line I got. My bad for thinking you were using letter homophones in Spain, and similarly for the short sleep. No wonder I struggled. Do not know "know how" and still don't as it is not in the answers but assume it is well known in US... All told I enjoy playing these and appreciate the effort. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54296: Thanks WV. You accidentally missed the answer for the last clue in the ‘sha’ line and I don’t get the sha clue either. Can you help :-) Got the rest. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54292: Great ideas, lovely grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54295: Hi Dark Night, gross was not the answer and you have been around long enough to use the all encompassing "synonym" answer (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54295: Great ideas. But gross not accepted as an answer for gross, please correct that for future players. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54235: Very nice. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Eleda @ #54295: Nice work! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #54231: Dude, I love your grids! Keep them coming! :) I'm very pleased with my score of 7. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54282: I liked this, failed to assemble, but liked it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54292: A staple of any 80’s dinner party in the UK Malcontent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #54293: Thought that was a misspelling of Phoebe... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54266: I’m beginning to see from the comments why I didn’t get this the first time around. I’d thought of all four connections but kept coming up with incorrect groupings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54292: Good. Straightforward except for 20:02, which I still don't understand. Loved the Murray group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #54295: Good one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54292: Thank you, St John. The 20:02 was inspired! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54293: Good ideas but I've only ever seen the moon of Mars called Phobos not Phobus, so that group was impossible to solve, even after the grid was solved. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54295: Very clever St John but too clever for me! Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54292: @Freddgar, go on, make the score 10/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

TheCount @ #54266: TPoser is right, and more. 2, 3, 5, and 13 all fit into the same 2 groups. Also, 1 and 8 can be swapped. Numbers are fickle friends. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54274: Good one. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54292: Excellent grid, nice spread of subjects and crossovers. Maybe allow signalling? You win 10-7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #45184: They are pretty testing. Missed sholic. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #50823: Ah Gridlington, I think it’s just my failing memory. I remember this one now. Somehow last night's was more satisfying though, probably because it was late and I got it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54276: Got dill, but fact that I’ve only heard of Pose and Conan ( and wasn’t reading them that way ) and that the others were clues, made this too far removed for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54278: Both sound grids Iopia. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #54266: Don't think this gives a unique solution, 3 and 13 could be switched. But still enjoyed the grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54282: At least I got this one. You’re making me strain my eyes! :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54291: Tough ones this morning! Got Fuji, thought of Miso but not enough, lost my way. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54292: Really enjoyable. Clever ideas. Bravo! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gridlington @ #54269: Thank you all! Yes, I got the inspiration from Lorna. If you click on my name in the list of grids, it will list all my grids, of which a few of the later ones are in this style 😁 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54277: A big fat zero for me Hamburger. I think it was a little mean with the obscure terms. It was interesting to learn of Ivy League in that group though. I’ll add it to Caesar in my fragile memory bank. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54269: Yes, I’d seen it the other way before but I hadn’t noticed it in this form so I was glad to figure it after initially being baffled. Kind of liked the fluidity of it. Underpits was the way in for me ( but I also initially thought of another link when I saw bootacy next ). (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54269: a good grid, disada and bootacy I saw fairly quickly ad assumed a common theme, Always foolish to assume! 6/10 for me.. This type of grid has been done many times before, [I've done it myself this way] but they are more usually with . / or [ ] to aid. Lorna, Ducky and Jmelb as well as gridlington are great exponents. TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pen gwin @ #54278: Chart (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #54266: Nice. So many 144 numbers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #54269: Really cool and unique grid. Got to admit I didn't solve any of it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #8769: 10/10 - good grid but I'm with Josh on the French bread! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bisk @ #51111: this is just bad. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Alex Sears @ #54274: Row 3 should include "coins" as well as "money" for the connection (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54267: Genius group did not accept genius. Yawn. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54245: Nice grid, thanks. Getting a little bored of dances and cocktails though. New ideas, please. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jimdas @ #54243: tricksy lemon there (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #50204: You might like this Beans. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54269: Fantastic idea Gridlington! Don’t know if anyone’s done it before but I haven’t seen it. Took me a while before I could see what was going on ( you just need that first way in ) but I loved it and managed a 10/10 with one refresh. Thanks ! 5***** (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54260: I think V deserves it this year and I want him to win. Would still like to see H get 8 championships at some point though. This season has been great and it’s good to see him in a real battle. Can’t wait for next year with Russell either. Wonder how long before sparks fly. Hamilton’s definitely going to feel the squeeze. And Norris, who couldn’t want to see him get his first win! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Western Sahara Enjoyer @ #32700: Western Sahara's flag has a red crescent and a star in the middle. Flag shown here is of Palestinian descent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #54235: One of those lovely walls that you look at, think "nope, not going to get anything on here" but then you think a bit and solve it. Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Risk @ #54264: Very enjoyable, clever grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54260: Said before [Freeway] it would be H, but now getting the feeling that this could be V's year. Can't wait for next year with Russell alongside and maybe even Norris with a stronger McLaren? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Coli @ #29158: Excellent! I award you six Maverick Bars. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #5122: What? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Max @ #54245: I enjoyed this one! Thank you for the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hanchops @ #16104: Please remove weight from mass category. Weight unit is Newtons. Otherwise good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Coli @ #4590: Really poor effort, waste of time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54264: Great little head scratcher. Got there with seconds to spare. Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Coli @ #5122: Common slang? Among black Americans, maybe, but nobody decent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54263: Non gamers, I’ve gone through the pain so you don’t have to. Still given you high ratings Beans, just not my cup of tea, though I still managed one line and knew what another was. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hanchops @ #6833: Please add relative to family member group (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54262: And so you should be! Other than that, great grid ;-) Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Edgey @ #54174: Enjoyed this one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54260: ntr nd brklnds nw prt f slvrstn. You did me over with rd rm though! Thanks for posting! Love these. R y wtchng f1? Hmltn r Vrstppn fr th wn? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54256: not american o but ameri cano, just got it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hanchops @ #32895: This puzzgrid changed my life. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54260: My turn (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54256: @Cajun - coffee ( I pondered too at first but made me smile ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54258: Great, some confetti and some fun. Ty! ( Independence ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #54256: What is American O? (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54242: A Jones was what got me. A nice and tricky grid, St John, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54257: Are you getting this all out of your system in one night? Didn’t score anything but did recall Willi Wakker and Fanny Chmelar :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

gridlington @ #54127: very good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54255: I am not educated enough to know the difference, so it worked fine for me. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #54247: Terrifically hard but mighty fine (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #54177: good one (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #27930: How is this a hard wall? 10/10 in 40 seconds :) everything very clean, the associations group has very strong associations, a well-written wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Greg Hurst @ #54255: Range is technically not an average but a measure of dispersion. Think 'statistical descriptions of data' is more appropriate? Otherwise fun. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kit @ #54231: That was, indeed, fiendish. Got two groups and it made me work hard to get even that many! Thanks for the challenge! (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #48149: Vodka is not a term for water, in the sense that IRL nobody actually says "vodka" and means water. Grammatically, the word "vodka" is a diminutive formed from the word for water, just like "Tommy" is a little Tom and a booklet is a little book, so it syntactically does represent a word akin to "little water". But that's not how the word is used. Vodka is the alcohol, voda is water. The puzzle just has it wrong. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bau @ #54252: Amazing grid! I think the raunchy red herring would be Coren-Mitchell approved? Props :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #54252: Oh, you cheeky scamp, St John! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54252: Got it despite the Carry On-esque red herrings! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jimdas @ #54161: Confets yay (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jimdas @ #54245: Yay, I am from UK but I did a US one :) Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53931: Very intertwined, well constructed, can see the thought that went into it and it is one of your best. Complaint on behalf of us mortals - give us more than 3 minutes. This one is a time killer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53925: Got totally hungup on the bird. Thought that was a chick and not a canary and my brain dissolved. Very well thought out. Nice misdirect with the hammer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #54247: this type of grid is always tough. i rated it 5 but i think you will get negatives (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54246: Enjoyed this one, good red herrings. Loved the Clara line. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54239: Got the groups but stumped by Buttons! Nice one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54241: Nice topical one for halloween (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53908: Please correct yourself. These are parts of the MIDDLE ear, not the inner or cochlea. You missed that day in Anatomy class. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53907: The pearl, etc., line is nonsense. It is merely what's left once you figure out the other 3. Appears to be a total disconnect. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54242: Ahh, I hadn’t but I think I do now. A bit tricky spotting you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53895: Too niche and half the groups just fall into place. Red herrings only for the blocks and metals. Not really very well constructed. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54242: Hi Fam - to be honest I have not seen the grid of the day alter as quickly as this before [seldom there]. I do not know how the system works, it may be the number of hits as well as quality ratings. The programme used to show the number of times a grid had been accessed, but this has been gone a while now. Pick up on the ornithology? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54242: This one doesn’t come across as one of yours St John because of the common themes. A Jones though, I’ll take that! You’ve been on here a while St John - has the grid of the day/week always changed throughout the day? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54243: Nice grid - watch out for the spell checkers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54244: Very good! Almost gave up completely but then it all came together. Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54241: Nice one Prof. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54241: Cool (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54239: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54239: Given you 5* for A dee doo dah alone. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54233: Okay, so extra challenge for someone who is reading the comments before attempting the grid, and in the knowledge that there is more than one unique solution - strategise to ensure you reach the solution as set by the setter before running out of lives. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54236: Mouse Mouse ? Miny should be Minnie (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #54233: In other words, good except it's not a grid, so it gets 1*. Also- and I Don't blame you for this- the chocolate group has been done to death over the years... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54233: Ah Barry, that was why I was finding it difficult 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54231: 2/10 for me too. Tricky one. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54233: Actually harder than it first looks if you just tap away merrily, because of so many crossovers. Better to strategise first but I got there on my last life. Ty ( just a friendly tip for future grids - include the shortest version of your answer in the acceptable answers eg cats, papers ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Barry @ #54233: Good except that it doesn't have ONE unique solution. You could swap 'Milky Way' into the space category and put galaxy, star or mars in the chocolate category. Red-herrings are fair, but grids should have only one possible solution. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cook Who @ #54174: How very dare you, now my boomerang won't come back (2 years, 11 months ago)

Phun @ #54230: Correct, I just liked the sound of it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54174: Music hater, eh? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54231: Me too. Had Mary and Wallis and though eh!.. Top quality work WV (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54176: Blackbirds are not at all closely related to crows. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54232: Good theme (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54231: Too tricky for me these ones but managed 2/10 with the Jimmy Stewart line. Admire your skill in hiding things. Even when I knew the line had trouble finding two! Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54178: Fun grid, thanks. More importantly, how are you pronouncing your chosen name? (Sorry, but unless the first 'e' is silent we are doomed to be foes) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54230: It is a direct example of that thing David. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54230: Haha, my favourite - Czar Dean. Ty! (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #35398: Good grid. Liked the state capitals red herrings (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54179: Denmark was sneaky. Nice. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54227: I had to Google Caldwell. Hilariously obscure. Excellent! (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54230: Fun, thanks. Got all the groups and connections, but still can't see what specific thing Wahoo is. Anyone? (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #1396: Nice grid, though never heard of full mattress; us thing? (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #28219: Good one - lots of potato terms to sort out. Not taking 'insults' as answer for 'mock' etc needs fixing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54227: Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

SpringHeeledJim @ #54163: Apols Dark Knight - I entered the information in the wrong place! Corrected now (I hope!) (2 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #583: Good grid. 'Breaker' one lost me for a long time.. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54183: Nice and easy! Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54222: Loved this! Nice and easy! (2 years, 11 months ago)

rittenhouse @ #54186: You've done it. Worst grid ever. Congrats. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54012: So it is, quodlibet. I looked it up, and found that GA is the abbreviation for Gabon, whose capital is Libreville. Thanks, I will check more carefully in the future. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54224: Got one line but the names were too tough. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ray Ven @ #54168: @BernardB - D E V I L- five letters in sequence, how you read them is up to you. - That you have not heard of DeVilbiss is not an issue, it clearly fits with other clues. Trick or Treat is a singular activity and not two and therefore is reasonable for a category. If you want just ignore, if you must, just state that you could not solve the puzzle [the overall theme was, I believe reasonably clear] or that you did not like it. PS why not try leaving a positive feedback sometime. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54221: Thanks Hamburger. Don’t think I’d woken up when I did this. Only got one line but all the connections. Always forget Caesar. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54165: Sorry Nutalie. You could always leave checking the answers until you’ve attempted all the connections, to be on the safe side. But you’re right, I hadn’t thought of that as I hadn’t considered the order that they would be answered in. Just designed as a fun easy one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #23445: Nice quiz. Forming city connections stumped me totally (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #54127: love it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #54186: Interesting ideas, but felt made up words a bit mean. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #54165: Nice one Fam (2 years, 11 months ago)

kingkoronov @ #52669: all the shop ones do precede shop - pawn shop, union shop, window shop (verb) talk shop (an expression I didn't know) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nutalie @ #54165: The clues were fun, but easy to catch on to. I'm not a huge fan of the explanations to the matching reasons. They gave away the idea pretty quickly. (2 years, 11 months ago)

kingkoronov @ #52756: should accept exercise on president's challenge one. other than that, very fun. I couldn't remember what that dance was called so I put charlie brown as a joke and it actually took it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Untracker @ #43211: Very nice introduction to puzzgrids (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54127: I liked the concept, especially since I was able to solve the grid. Very nice, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54165: Excellent grid, got my confetti, thank you! Always liked Fruit Pebbles myself, but I enjoyed that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Avenger @ #4670: Poor grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bernard B @ #54166: Your explanation for the Actinide series doesn't match what's on the grid (Television) though both work. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bernard B @ #54168: Trick or Treat is two categories for one line, which is really bad design. And who the hell knows about DevilBiss, which isn't Devil, but actually DeVil (two separate words). Look at the best rated grids and see how they can be difficult but fairer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #54177: Nickel ends in el not le (2 years, 11 months ago)

mary Carnall @ #54176: Shell is not a projectile but the case which holds a bullet and blackbird is not a member of the crow family but the thrush family. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Lee @ #54170: Kiribati, doesn't 'cross' the equatorial line there are Islands either side of the line, whereas Brazil, Peru and Colombia have the line going through them. On that basis you could have put the UK in that category as it has Island both north (Great Britain) and south (The Falklands) of the equatorial line. You might want to correct that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54163: Didn’t accept trees for the trees connection. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Flutterby @ #54174: Like it! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dallas @ #50918: You guys seem a bit miffed about something that isn't really a big deal. Only Connect isn't a guessing game, but in the same vein than neither is Clue/do, it's a logic game, but they're close enough in style to WoF and Hangman to go there, and it does also accept just games like I put.

Fam @ #54177: @Russ but not for the metal which is the connection. For the grid to work though it’s fine. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #54088: The german number category could also be clues to monopoly. One of the community chest cards makes you pay for insurance (2 years, 11 months ago)

Cajun @ #54155: Very well thought out puzzle. As an American, I had no clue on most of it. But was fun trying to sort it out (2 years, 11 months ago)

George @ #54176: yes. enjoyed (2 years, 11 months ago)

George @ #54177: good one (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54155: Love these grids, solved the wall. Got all the connections bar the CL SS HV row. You win 10-7, more please. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Phi @ #54179: The 'Fusspot' category, doesn't really hang together, as there's too much difference between the chosen words. A better explanation for that category would be 'words that are composed of two smaller words' (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54176: Very good grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #53999: Took a while for it to fall fully into place for me but pulled through with a 10 in the end. Nice and satisfying. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #54127: 10/10 but only after I fell into the trap and muttered "what?" in a very disgruntled way. Then the penny dropped and it was quite quick to solve. Thanks!!! (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #54087: Got a phat 0 on this one but It was well crafted all the same (2 years, 11 months ago)

RobyN @ #54177: ? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54177: Nice. One of those ones that comes together at the last minute. Ty. There is a different and more common spelling for one of your words but I think it should be allowed in the context of the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Encota @ #53961: Puzzle was good. However, it'd be good to accept PUBS as an alternative answer for that group - it will make solvers happier (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #24489: Excellent esp as i even got two! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54176: A nice grid, almost to the point of double bluffing. and I missed the blimming obvious ty nice grid, almost to the point of double bluffing. I missed (2 years, 11 months ago)

Phi @ #54176: A missile isn't a p*******le. The other three are however. Apart from that all good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54176: You might want to edit your answers to include short versions of your answers for future grids. Wouldn’t accept projectiles or animals. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #54126: For once it gave me correct when I wasn`t! It was on the Jennifers when I guessed places in the US!!! NOT complaining,just saying. And I know what `biting` means, Stuart don`t live in London/UK obvs! I didn`t win but I enjoyed! :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54174: I didn’t buy it but you’d be hard pushed to have never danced to it if you grew up in the 80’s 😄 Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #54165: Enjoyable! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Morgan @ #54165: Easy but very fun concept (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54126: @St John I was only joking really, just seeing if you were out there somewhere 🙂 Sorry for the grief I caused with my request 😳 (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #54126: @Fam - Not guilty, or should I say I cannot take credit. Twice shy and all that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54172: Nice. Got all but the Orchard one. Didn’t know that at all. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

GavinJ @ #54096: Brilliant. Bravo. Beautiful. Bonza. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54166: Really interesting to see television as an answer, just a shame it isn't one of the words in the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #54147: Clever. Too many herrings for me and not sure why parasol was there. Thank you anyway (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54060: I've never come across welch used in the context stated, only to avoid payment or fail to honour a commitment. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #54127: Nice idea. Very easy. Enjoyed it. Thank you Bluemoon (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #54126: Excellent, fun grid. Don’t know what Stuart is on about. Thank you Hillbill (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54170: Thought you’d mistyped peri (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54165: Very good, nice spread, red herring or two. Nice and straightforward grid. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53882: This is doable but not in 3 minutes. Very well constructed, but give us 5 minutes, please? (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54170: Bit mean to insist on equatorial as answer to that group, but otherwise fun, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53874: Might be the toughest one of yours yet. (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #29381: +1, John Parrott is misspelt. (2 years, 11 months ago)

SpringHeeledJim @ #54163: Thanks! Amended the answers re trees - good point well made. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54168: Ah, I get it. Good bash at a topical grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Chylllz @ #54166: fix the actinide!!!! should be television or your mum (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54167: Tidy and doable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #54166: good grid, small edit required in actinide answers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54157: @Heauxbeaux Haha, well I certainly enjoy a challenge and a change of format. I just hope that people don’t mark down on quality just because it’s challenging in a fun way. I often find my easy ones go up in the rankings but unfortunately I think the opposite is also true. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54161: Nice and easy. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54126: Grate gryd. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54127: Great fun, thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Langers @ #54163: Nice grid - answer for beech, oak, walnut, maple should be trees as well as types of wood (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54163: I loved this. Intricately planned with cross cutting groups. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54161: Enjoyable grid thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Heauxbeaux @ #54157: Thank you Fam :) It's OK, if people don't like it there's not much we can do about that lol. I wanted to make a pretty challenging grid, so I understand if people don't think it's fun. But honestly, I thought people liked a challenge now and again. Oh well. (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #54127: Excellent grid, not too difficult. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54125: This is one of my favourites today. Missed out on one connection, and the Wang group got me stumped as there is a couple in there Ihaven't heard of. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54157: There is no way this should be 3 stars ( currently ). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malco @ #54157: Very clever, but frustrating rather than enjoyable or satisfyingly challenging. Groups that included a coded version of the link word alongside words that go with it, definitions of it and varieties. Too many layers and leaps of logic to be doable. The oil, gas, coal group was amusing, but at least two things in it required a sideways jump from that wasn't clued. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54160: Must be getting better at these. Saw them all apart from Irish coffee bizarrely, though still got all the groups and links. Amass Acreage stands out a bit. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54160: Didn't spot the Irish coffee group and should have really (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54096: I enjoyed this a lot (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54157: Man this was brilliant! I was going to refresh as I knew it was going to be clever but I’d exhausted my ideas so I let it resolve before trying to see links. ( Don’t read on if you want to try it with no spoilers ) Spell it group was inspired! I gave up too soon with numbers meaning anything after I looked at the A ones so I missed those clues ( clever on your part ) I guessed there was the ELO group but obviously included the red herring so no joy there. All in all a wonderful complex confusion of energy based red herrings. 2/10 for me and a 10/10 and one of the best grids I’ve done for you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54158: Good quiz. Not convinced on 'crew' fully fitting the group though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54126: Great fun - Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54127: Nice and simple after an initial misdirection, good for my tea break (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54129: I enjoyed this but I'm not as convinced by the More Electric group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54147: I enjoyed this. Did not get the America group though (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54151: Other than the Springsteen albums those connections were beyond me. Good grid though (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #54155: Nice grid. It took me a while to finish one group as I kept not being able to spot the fourth one, but eventually got 10/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

wild_biologist @ #51481: One of the favourite walls I've done for a long long time! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pat @ #54113: Are Richard Osman and Ian Hislop (I presume that's who we are referring to) really "comedians"? I put TV personalities. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54155: Great! These are fun, and easy to construct if anyone else fancies a bash. Tip from my own failings though - don’t try to make it too tricky as it is hard enough when you’re not the setter. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54127: Clever and original - enjoyed muchly, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54155: Brilliant but too much of a challenge today and didn't get the W&G connection. Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54117: 5 stars. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54118: At the time of writing this currently stands at 3 1/2 stars which is a travesty. 5 stars from me. Please keep them coming. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54119: Tremendous and I've learnt something. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #54127: Very good grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54126: 5 for quality. 1 for difficulty. Good fun. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54127: Great. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54147: Great. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54100: Fantastic wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Squidily didily @ #53789: Great good fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

TPoser @ #54149: Very clever. Almost gave up when I realised they were all pokemon. But that was a massive red herring, all clues were purely word play, no knowledge of pokemon required. Brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable, thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #54151: 5 stars. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #54149: if you like pokemon, brilliant (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54127: Nicely different, good work. Easy when you spot the plot. 10s all round. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54147: Great ideas and sneaky red herrings. I'm not sure that barcarole and Maria can't technically be swapped though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #54128: Clown (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54100: Truly difficult. I enjoyed it, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54112: Listen with mother stumped me because I'm too young, I thought it was watch with mother. Great grid. Enjoyed it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #54119: Now this is a proper grid! Red herrings all over the place and perfectly logical answers at the reveal. I struggled even though I recognised some groups and only got 3/10. The point is I enjoyed it a lot even getting soundly beaten, and learned a few things too. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Johnathon @ #54134: Amazing puzzle!!!!! 5 stars (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aaron @ #54133: LOL (2 years, 11 months ago)

Edgey @ #54127: Worked it out about 10 seconds too late, nice one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54127: Novel and fun. Had to guess the kings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fae @ #54096: Challenging but very interesting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fae @ #54127: Good fun but easy once you cracked the code (2 years, 11 months ago)

Flutterby @ #54127: Really nice one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fae @ #54126: Liked this a lot (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54126: In the UK we talk about a biting wind as a cold piercing wind Stuart. I thought they were all easy enough to get quickly. Garner seems almost spot on for my accent, unless I’m pronouncing Ghana incorrectly 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #54096: Lovely wall with an unusual theme that made it look tricky to start with but in the end was quite straightforward and very enjoyable to solve. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stuart Fenwick @ #54126: Sorry - but I don't like it. Garner and Ghana are not homophones. You have three surnames for Jennifers and then a nickname for one so not really a pattern. Buy ting/biting a homophone for cold? Certainly not where I'm from and I live in a very cold country!! Thanks for giving it a go but not for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54126: Haha! Fun 🙂 ( are you moonlighting StJohn 😄? ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #43870: The -ic group is just bad. In three of them you are just forming an adjective from a noun, in the fourth one you aren't. And in the extra one the clue isn't even a valid word. The rest of the grid is very nice, but this was an eyesore. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54104: Clubs and banks more or less worked, but not the other two. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54120: Very good wall, nice spread of subjects. Yes, Artists it is 😁 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54125: Very good, surprised I solved the wall so quickly. Failed on the Re row. You win 10-7 Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #41931: @Puzzgrid, not relating to this grid but are you aware that grid of the day and grid of the week are changing several times within the same day now? ( or has that always been the case ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #41931: Great cheerful grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #41931: 10/10 but had to work for it. Very clean and enjoyable. Rhyming names were the first group I found and i was a bit surprised that it really was an intended group :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54119: Cool grid! Lots of stuff I didn’t know but at least I got the soba line and I should have seen the Heisenberg connection since I knew the individual clues. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fulmah @ #54120: you got it (2 years, 11 months ago)

scarfer @ #42198: such a fun one (2 years, 11 months ago)

rosiepose @ #54120: Think you should probably accept "artists", not just Spanish artists... I feel like Victoria Coren Mitchell would accept it :P (2 years, 11 months ago)

quodlibet @ #54087: Nice theme (2 years, 11 months ago)

thiagoYMY @ #54020: gostei, bem criativo (2 years, 11 months ago)

Crocodilly @ #54117: I love it when I see the connections, but have to think about how each clue fits. Great one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lynn Loveday @ #53752: 🤷‍♀️ who knows no one knows (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #52792: I knew all the groups. Got only 1 out of my 4 descriptions accepted :/ (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ant @ #54096: Alas, too many unfamiliar terms for me, so never really got anywhere. I was able to guess at the groups, but I reckon extensive general knowledge or google at hand to really sort this out. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #54096: Very nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54113: Are tarot cards more popular than I would have imagined as they come up a lot on here and I would never spot them. That and minecraft, pokemon, or any video games connections :-) Liked the rest of the groups and I was lost with all the red herrings. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54112: Brilliant Fulmah! I almost got it all. Very clever. (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #14884: @Alan didn't accept "hump" either, so shrug :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ace of spies @ #51084: Ise group a bit weak (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #54104: No logic to the clues which makes it impossible to solve (other than wild leaps of faith) - not my bag I'm afraid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #54104: Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #54104: I really enjoyed it. Easy way in that explained the grid, then fine grading of difficulty through to that tricky wood shop line! TY :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

pogrybalk76 @ #54096: Lots of fun! managed to get the groups very quickly and made a lucky guess for the fish group connection for 10/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54109: Interesting groups. Something new. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54104: Links were good enough but clues too obscure to get to them for me I’m afraid. How would you jump from wood shop or arboretum to the answer? (2 years, 11 months ago)

pogrybalk76 @ #54082: 'letter' should be allowed for the letters group (2 years, 11 months ago)

F @ #54096: Very pleasing. Not super hard but still extremely satisfying to complete. (2 years, 11 months ago)

F @ #54097: Really liked this but I feel that 'boobies' being pluralised while the other bird species were in the singular was not quite playing fair. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DanM @ #54087: need to accept pop musician as answer to homonym one (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54088: MRH, don't forget 'in Troy' that bit is very important (2 years, 11 months ago)

MRH @ #54088: Too American for us Brits. However 12 ounces does not equal a pound unless you meant three quarters of a pound, thereby making it even more obscure. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MRH @ #54100: Love these 7/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54082: Why put the letters group in an otherwise good grid? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54071: Haha. Fun. Just missed the fir line as didn’t know two clues there but should/could have guessed. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54087: Quite a fun one. See ya and joule are a bit of a push though :-) Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #54070: Very good, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54091: 👍 more attainable than I first thought. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54078: Thanks Randi. You’ll have to change English to something that’s not a language, eg geography, for the grid to work properly as otherwise you can swap it with any of the other languages in the grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54100: Love missing vowels grids. Hadn't heard of a couple of these, so was happy to get two lines and three connections. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54084: Very good wall, I solved all but one row by guesswork. You win 10-5 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54101: Without seeing them side by side I don’t know if this is exactly the same as your other grid Bob, but did you know that you can alter them using the link in your email without having to re-enter the whole grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54100: Nice one StinkyPete! Without the clue, these are so much harder than on the tv show but lots of fun. I tried constructing one but made it too difficult. Managed two lines here and most of the answers once I sneaked a peak at the connection. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54100: Love these vowelless walls. Failed on the ZEBL L row. You might want to remove the E though 😉 You win 10-7 Great grid. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54098: Rheocrats stands out like a sore thumb WC but grid works well for the easy category ( though tbh I didn’t guess the Lewis link ). Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #24120: Clever and interesting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54070: Got the groups but only one connection, the easy one :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #24120: Brilliant as usual, diverse and clever (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54096: Nice LittleQuill! 5 words I wasn’t familiar with made it a pleasant challenge. Nice idea. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54088: Far too tough for me so I’ve stuck it in the fiendish category ( I think some people mark down when they don’t get it ). I could only work out 4 clues so not enough to get categories. I don’t know a certain language and some clues would be easier to get if you were from the US I think. One I’ve never heard of but a quick search says it’s popular in the US. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54090: Sometimes I don’t think I’m going to get these, but then I work my way around and it’s very satisfying. Thanks WV, first grid of the day! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54096: Very good, nice theme, must've took a while. Good work. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54061: Got seven, Mckinley group threw me off, Leonardtown group was nicely complex. Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54041: Excellent grid, my first 10 in a while! Andre was new to me, but I'll take my confetti where I can get it, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54016: Very nice, the Guinea Pig was thoroughly devious! Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54084: Very tough! I'll happily take a four, thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #54011: Tough grid! I only knew three clues, but after resolving, I saw it. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #24751: Too many prefix and suffix groups create too many red herrings :/ e.g., a full group boon-boson-Borat-boring just from the "sea" and "ion" groups. (2 years, 11 months ago)

pogrybalk76 @ #54068: Nice grid! 'EM' should be allowed for the electromagnetic spectrum row though (2 years, 11 months ago)

misof @ #24123: "Bobalki" is a very rare spelling for the dumplings (to the extent that as a native Slovak I did not recognize it). The most common name for the food is actually "opekance", that's what you would find in a dictionary. In some regional dialects the food is called "bobáľky" or sometimes "bobaľky" (or "pupáky"). The i instead of y at the end is not grammatical in Slovak - except for maybe one specific dialect that will pronounce the last letter as i instead of y. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #54043: Where are all my other grids that I did a while ago? Do they delete old ones? (2 years, 11 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #54051: Nice, but none of those are geological eras. Three are periods, the other an epoch. I gave myself the point as it was hard to work out what you wanted as an answer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53775: in THE hat (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53773: Two misspellings had me looking for missing letters. And, in line with your own comment, add Stag and dump the TR6. Both were awful buckets of bolts as to quality but they were good looking (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #53748: Excellent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #54031: Really sneaky, very good. So many HP red herrings I was completely lost. I thought Dol Guldur was a fortress though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #783: Sorry, far too much disconnected specialist knowledge (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #54043: Excellent (2 years, 11 months ago)

Scar @ #54033: Horrendous. (2 years, 11 months ago)

P33J @ #54033: Pink connection is absurdly obscure. Red connection is too inconsistent - should be either countries or capitals, not both. (2 years, 11 months ago)

poop @ #15036: Almost impossible. Terrible (2 years, 11 months ago)

poop @ #15037: These words use "ves" as a plural? pathetic. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #54016: @dave - ha! Sorry, I got distracted while typing in the link. Hedgehog was one I thought of but didn't use. I'll edit it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54008: Not really Martin. Common in the UK too. That was the first group I got, and I’m not even young so they’ve been going years. (2 years, 11 months ago)

malcontent @ #54035: Clever.Very good, I suppose, but impossible to solve half the cryptic clues in time, never mind work out it's sequence based. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54016: Ban? A bit rarefied maybe? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #54008: Liked all the red herrings, but suspect the Etnies group is a US-specific thing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54019: The true connection for the volt group is not kilo, because any other prefix could be used, but the fact that they are all units. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #54030: No. Raw and roar are certainly not homophones. Not even close. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54032: Excellent grid, showing my age here with Bluebottle. Solved the wall, failed the Bluebeard row answer. Y'learn something new everyday. You win 10-7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #53995: Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54023: Eleda, I would never have guessed that was a first grid. Complexity and fun in equal measure. I don’t mind if I don’t resolve the whole grid as there’s fun in trying to find the connections once the grid is resolved and pleasure in learning new things, or just admiring a clever connection. Thanks, looking forward to the next one! By the way, if Eleda is your name it’s very beautiful. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Eleda @ #54012: This was great! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54003: Yep, looking back I didn’t get that either David but assumed some people did. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54023: Though I failed miserably there were some great and novel groups in here. Got the woof connection once the grid was resolved, and had considered the wan wan connection before the grid was resolved but was scuppered by your red herring. Nice work! (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #54003: I've read the Gnar group's answer, and remain none the wiser. My reason for grouping them was they were the only nonsense words on the wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #53997: Yep, firm but fair. Good to see them, and good to see peeps not downrating them (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #54012: Love these type of walls. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #53999: I liked two groups, but two were impossible for me - never heard of anything in the Manchester orchestra group, only heard of one thing in the County group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #53995: Great grid. I'm trying to work out what UK accent DOESN'T work for those homophones - they work in Geordie, South Yorkshire, London. Not sure about Scouse. (2 years, 11 months ago)

gridlington @ #54015: Mombasa is spelt with only one S, so you can't have Bass. Luckily, there is a fish called Basa, so you've lucked in, but you need to change the answer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #54002: The fruit group is a bit hard to define. Brands that are fruit? Might have been better to have raspberry instead of kiwi, so that they're all tech brands. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #54013: Really clever, but one group was too multilayered for me to find the link, even when the group was lined up. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #54012: Brilliant - great to see more of these. Big THANKS! (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #54016: This was fiendish too. I loved the guinea pig group. Very good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #54014: This is definitely the fiendish. The spool group was very clever, but I don't know how anyone is supposed to get the curves group, or see the link even after it's resolved. The clipper and chalice groups look very familiar. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Buzzelli @ #54011: bow wow wow! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54012: Thanks WV - my second lot of confetti of the morning! Check out Buzzelli, she/he is fun! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Adam McLaughlin @ #28314: Good board if it weren't for the fact that the Chile/USA interchangeability were explicitly against the spirit of the puzzle wall. Two solutions exist to this wall where only one should! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #22115: I don’t know any Chinese but I gave it a go. Only the numbers stood out as an educated guess. Got the positions by a bit of trial and error. Be interesting to see if others were able to guess. Read the comments before to help you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53977: I liked it. It made me remember German classes at school. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #53997: tough but well made (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #54002: Liked this. Missed the bill and Mary lines but good links and Boris de Pfeffel is suitably ridiculous. Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

poop @ #22115: I was going to complain about this one but I ended up solving it. It's pretty tricky but satisfying (2 years, 11 months ago)

Spencer @ #53995: Agree with bloss — not a fan of the homophones line. Otherwise a fun wall, though! Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #54002: There are 2 correct answers to one line, the more obvious one - fruit - is rejected. 3/5 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jishun @ #49935: Funny, I was entertained (2 years, 11 months ago)

Avenger @ #4648: Think it is you being picky ramuz93. No, it could not be argued spelling it as pigeon is pidgin English. Oddball need not apologise, you should. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jishun @ #53991: Enjoyed finding the hidden words (2 years, 11 months ago)

AB @ #51146: If you are going to do more grids please do 2 things 1 look up what homophones are 2 realise that dwarves do not come in 7s (2 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #53995: homophones only in a certain accent... (2 years, 11 months ago)

koshatnik @ #53980: Nice and breezy, with a couple of connections I haven't seen before. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

koshatnik @ #53991: Fiendish! I managed one connection but wasted the rest of the time chasing your clever decoy group (2 years, 11 months ago)

koshatnik @ #53993: Excellent grid, thank you! Loved the taffeta connection (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mack @ #53963: @barry womble That was by accident! Just added it as an alternative sequence :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

quodlibet @ #53980: Tough one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #53994: Not unique - white and green can be switched (2 years, 11 months ago)

. @ #53978: weshalb (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #53963: DBH I understand where you're coming from. However, these players are some of the best known to people with any casual knowledge of the sport and all currently active on popular teams. Point guards may seem overly specific a connection, but I'm pretty confident just 'NBA players' would also be an accepted answer. Also FWIW PG is probably the position with the broadest casual awareness because of their central role in initiating offense, so if there were any position to use it's probably the best option. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53993: Nicely hidden. Ty ( for reminding me that I keep missing these ). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53992: Only managed a measly 2/10 but this was very good. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #53981: Managed to solve the wall on the second to last guess with 4 sec left even though I only spotted two connections. The groups I missed (NATO and double meanings) were fiendish indeed. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53991: Liked the time and power groups. I just couldn’t think of them. Got the other two for a change though so I’m sorry to report they must have been easy. (2 years, 11 months ago)

yve @ #53981: Given you 10 out of 10 for spelling JullietT correctly. So few do. I got the gist, but wasn't quick enough. The bakers clue was a red herring to me...:) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53978: Try again... The groups were easy enough, but requiring the answers to be given in German is just silly. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53978: Requiring the groups were east enough, but requiring the answers in German is just silly. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53979: Good idea, but poor execution unfortunately. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53986: The planes group are best characterised as war planes, or military aircraft, not just RAF because some are used elsewhere. Also wind and hunter were marked as incorrect. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #53981: The Pope told me one line, George was really sneaky, but sorry Pops too 'yankeefied' for me. Meredith, the Big C, was something I had to check as I thought soup. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

DBH @ #53963: I really liked the redundant words line (which I didn't get). But I do get a bit frustrated with lines that use American sport, such as NBA point guards - just a little bit too specialised perhaps? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #53251: Rumour has it im still looking for the fourth Alabama town (2 years, 11 months ago)

Emmy @ #53834: Bonjour, j’ai l’impression que cette grille a un but éducatif et est probablement créée pour être utilisée dans un cadre scolaire. Dans ce cas, il vaut mieux ne pas cocher la case qui demande si cette grille a un intérêt pour une audience générale. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53935: Non gamers beware. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #53925: 7/10 for me 10/10 or 5* for you. Wondered why Timmy was there. Thankyou very much (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jaded Mineral @ #53932: I really enjoyed this one! Should it be "caned" rather than "canned"? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #53911: Love the group with America etc (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53932: Very good. Had to refresh a couple of times once I got down to last two lines before I saw the link ( which I should have done due to my last grid 🤦‍♀️ ). Should canned be caned by the way. Otherwise that is very severe. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Michelle @ #53926: The first answer is incorrect, the correct answer is Sesame Street characters and not The Muppets. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53925: Jolly hard TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53926: 👍 two lines easy, one line kicked myself, one line I never see these ones. 10/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53930: Really good. I missed a couple of lines but all the connections were good. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53925: Thanks Jollycorpse. I realised afterwards that it was you who had set your first picture grid a few weeks ago so I hope you don’t mind, as then, any remarks which are in good spirit. Personally I think the key with the picture grids is finding the images which most clearly convey the clue, without the need for red herrings. For example, I got your taxi clue and the picture of the bull is particularly appropriate, I just didn’t see the connection. But I think you could get away with a less crafty picture than the map, and a more direct image than the windows one ( eg nail**** or paper**** ). Just personal opinion though. Please keep posting them 😀 (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #53903: Excellent, intelligent grid. Very well done ! (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53925: Excellent, many thanks. I got the actor and letters, but couldn't get the others (obvious and very well-clued though they were). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Vicky @ #33032: I enjoyed this one :) thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #53925: Thanks, Fam. No option on the edit page for quitting early or readjusting the time limit unfortunately. The map is the biggest herring here, perhaps too clever for its own good... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53925: Had fun trying to work this out but didn’t get very far. Got the microphone line. Hammer line is actually very clear, I just missed one of the clues, and the deer line is clever. The only line that didn’t come across as clearly for me was the last one as I incorrectly thought the map element was significant for that clue, and I didn’t guess what the windows picture represented. Thanks for posting as I’m sure these picture grids take time! Do they still give you the option, as the setter, to include a ‘give up’ function for the person doing the grid? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53924: Dennis, very good 🙂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53889: Good ideas, but the civilization group falls down, as they're not all even near synonyms. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53892: Great, really clever, but misspelling maraschino as marachino, while it didn't affect your links, sent me off trying to make a group with marachino and any other words in the wall that I wasn't familiar with, or looked as if they might be missing a letter.

Malcontent @ #53846: Very Good ideas, but clues are too wordy, and a couple are really badly written. I still managed ten though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53844: This was good. Could see where you were going but couldn’t get all the clues. Last two were partly guessed. Looked up some stuff but would be nice if you could give brief explanations of stuff that can’t be looked up directly. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53842: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53833: @StJohn, so I’ve fallen prey to the wacky nonsense you usually experience so if you or anyone else reads something out of character it’s probably not me 🙂 @Pookington, wow you’re tough on yourself. Have you been watching VCM on Taskmaster? It’s brilliant. Her interaction with Alan Davies on a task last week was hilarious. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53843: Simply marvellous. Though I missed your namesake and only got as far as John Denver leaving. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53833: Ach, this one was annoying, because I had to take points away from myself. I technically guessed the "Barton" line correctly, but because I hadn't really understood the clues, I decided that if I was actually a contestant on OC, Victoria would not have given me the points. Therefore I didn't feel that I could give them to myself. So I got 7. Excellent grid! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #53843: That was fun! TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

sas @ #53821: I'd say too many red herrings for the tops -- guernsey is also a type of knitwear, also, not all knitwear is associated with tank top or sweaters -- I would allow more options such as 'warm outwear' or 'clothing for torso' (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #53833: Okay - I have issue with this grid. An ape is NOT a monkey. A person from Finland is a Finn, not a Fin. Interesting try - but doesn't work. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ant @ #53838: The newscasters could all go in each of the categories, so there are 24 possible correct groupings. For these to work you need have a single correct grouping, or at least a clearly most obvious one! Otherwise, I like the ideas. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53833: Great, but took me so long to read all the clues I had to start again and I still only had 11 seconds left after solving. The centre of Offaly is FA or the gap between F and A, which delayed me a little. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53828: Thanks WVPuzzler, I may jot down some ideas if some come to me, and credit you if I manage to complete and submit one. I often find with grids that I have a couple of reasonable lines but then struggle with ideas/clues for the others. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JD @ #53744: Need a smaller brush (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53829: Nice little head scratcher Hannah. Got two lines but all the connections immediately once the grid was resolved ( beforehand I had wondered who Anne Barr was ). Wasn’t familiar with the expression, ‘a bum’s *’ but am now. Thanks for the cheers from last night. I can recommend M&S Crémant de Bordeaux if you like a tipple ;-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #53823: Enjoyed it, especially the Sun line:) Could you put the categories in the answers? I didn't know where some of the names were from. (ADMIN - there was a glitch when I put the fourth answer in and it didn't move through and let me rate it. Thanks) (2 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #53825: so many comic alternatives, well done thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #53824: Nice one TY (Edit on the Jack answer?) (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53828: PS...Do try one; they are immensely satisfying when they are finished LOL (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53828: They're sometimes difficult and, yes, I do start from end to beginning. In this grid, for instance, in this grid, the abominable snowman and Broadway musical lines were pretty much done in my head when I sat down to type it up. The other two came fairly quickly, but sometimes you have to wait for inspiration to strike. And sometimes, after I think I've finished, and submitted the grid, I look at it, and say 'nope', and edit it on the fly hoping no one plays it before it's perfected. This one was no exception, and two clues were changed after posting. Their replacements make the grid much better, in my opinion, at least. (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #53825: Nice one, real Baron! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #28625: Gordon is spelt as Ive written it here in each of these answers!! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #28625: Gordon spelled like this in each of these four cases!!! (2 years, 11 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #53829: Always love a Spandau reference!! TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #53811: Hiya, if you can get the chance to see the programme "who do you think you are" {British] there was an episode with Judy Dench I am certain you would like. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #28625: Gordon is spelt as Ive written it here in each of these answers!! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53829: Nice straightforward grid. 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53828: Haha, yes I noticed you were spacing them out so I’m always thrilled when one pops up. I would try one myself but I don’t think I could do it justice. Are they difficult/time consuming to construct? Do you start with the end word in mind and work back? (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #53828: Difficult and fun for us, and spot on from you. TY (I guessed Asbo :D) (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53828: Thanks, Fam. The only real difficulty is coming up with single letter clues and trying to avoid too much repetition. I'm glad you like them, and I think I have a few more in me yet, though, I'm trying to space them out with more conventional grids. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53827: Reminds me of Lisa Stansfield's biggest hit song. thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53828: These are getting trickier WVPuzzler. Are they getting more taxing for you too? Thanks for posting. They’re some of my favourites. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Baron @ #53825: The cars ...just no (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53827: Haha, dead fun and quick. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53807: Couldn’t figure out the rain or eel lines but the latter made me smile for its variety. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53824: Nice wall. I got stuck trying to fit twixt into the wrong group, then saw why it doesn't fit. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53822: Very pleased to see well constructed grid with a twist 5* [I only scored 1/10 but it did not spoil my enjoyment] thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53816: Fun and crafty mix. Enjoyed it. Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53822: Enjoy a grid when you don’t work it out entirely but the links seem so obvious once the grid is resolved. Nicely disguised ( for me at least ). Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

TRIFFIK @ #53822: Fun! Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Vicky @ #66: I enjoyed this one :) thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53821: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53798: I always get my cod and nectarines mixed up, makes me a lousy Chef de Cuisine (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53816: Nice and easy, good spread of subjects, a red herring or two. Nice touch on the Size line. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Austin @ #22558: needs pair for duos category (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53796: Nice grid. Not familiar with the medicine group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Daddio @ #52647: LET'S GOOOOOO 10/10 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Daddio @ #52700: Ohhh I like it - couple good curveballs (2 years, 11 months ago)

Daddio @ #52724: I am too dumb to put together a stool, much less know drugs (2 years, 11 months ago)

Daddio @ #52756: Oh yeahhhh this felt realllll good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Moondog @ #53358: 10/10 57 seconds. Great for schmucks like me but I'd bet the smart ones are looking down their noses at it (and me) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Danneau @ #53757: That's a nice one, I liked that. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53581: Perhaps more explanation for the last group? To me, it was architectural features of buildings. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #53720: Need to widen the answers as cider brands wasn’t right and neither was rubbish. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #53709: The leaf line are also trees. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53805: Good red herrings, but only two groups made sense, two were completely spurious. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53547: I fail to get the 3 letter codes aside from Manchester. Are they airports? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53792: Another good one, nice spread and a red herring or two. The Class line did for me 🤔 You win 10-4. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

TRA @ #51198: phd access, I don't think I have any, so bye (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53801: Extremely easy - I think I missed a couple of red herrings- but didn't accept the terms in the explanation as links for two of the line. Odd (2 years, 11 months ago)

Vicky @ #44: The first medium I was able to complete on my own :D (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53512: @ Fam, À votre santé ;-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53782: I changed my mind from the small sonata to a place of libation but forgot to change the grid as can is a word on it's own rather than sona (2 years, 11 months ago)

Vicky @ #11636: Really enjoyed this one :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53782: Good grid. Didn’t get Cava line but the fact that I had Crémant tonight helped with that line. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53512: Where are you St John? Are you going by other names or taking a break? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53782: What was wrong with sona? It was scarla that was new to me. I've only ever heard it called scarlet fever. But yes - good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dd @ #38245: Too hard and obscure (2 years, 11 months ago)

Vicky @ #2917: I enjoyed this one! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53787: Good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53795: Very good. Can't believe I missed the wall group - did it in a grid two days ago. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #38231: Enjoyable (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kit @ #53594: That really made me think! Thanks for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53788: Enjoyable, and clever, but too much pop culture knowledge required for me. I scored 7 by guesswork. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #53791: Fun. It looks easy but has complications (2 years, 11 months ago)

Susie @ #53727: Hmm...Pumba's a warthog ;-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

BG @ #16796: BGfiendish (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53787: Very nice. Straight forward. Thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dagoba @ #53776: I don't know what you took out, but that was still hard - maybe there are too many long clues for me - my eyes were swimming while I looked for hidden words. I feel I should have seen the groups and links I missed. Clever and I can't argue with the links. Very good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53527: Mellophone and serpent................................. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BG @ #30514: BG thanks. fiendish (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53781: Hard, not fiendish. I got 6. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53526: dogleg, maybe last leg, other 2 made no sense got it by sheer luck but no prayer on the leg circuit. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53787: I am a silly moo today, thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53782: Good grid, but...you might want to swap Sona for can. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

JM @ #53777: The Arsenal players' names are spelled incorrectly - Vieira and Henry (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53512: Threw me with gin sling. I kept going for shot, not sling. Wasted my clock. As per usual, good job. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53787: Excellent grid, nice spread of subjects, only saw 1 red herring. Straightforward, but beat me hands down. You win 10 - 2. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53786: I liked that especially the Sahara Desert, East Timor or River Avon line *feud? thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53499: Certainly tough but solvable. Connections, well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad by me. Never would have thought of the abbreviations, no matter how long I had. Well thought out. (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53494: Uber-specialized categories. Wisecrack must be an "in" joke and is totally lost on me. Maybe a good grid for Poli Sci majors or modern history specialists but kinda lost on the general public. If you were aiming at just high degree of difficulty, you scored. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53783: 4 cracking choices, nice and easy thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53776: Edited now (not saying what I took out). I hope it's clearer. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53776: Should I edit and remove that group? (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #53776: Loved it, but I agree, too many Arthurian items. Maybe ditch the actual Arthurian line and put something else in. I loved those red herrings in the other groups, so it would be a shame to lose them. (2 years, 11 months ago)

puppi @ #53779: good grid but I am clueless about the Ray line [apart from Ray that is] (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53779: I really enjoyed this, thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #53775: Wensleydale, not Wendslydale. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #53735: Good solid grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

DBH @ #53775: Absolutely agree that Kraft is perhaps not quite right in the cheese group. Would also say that, unless you are familiar with 'Haworth', you would not be aware that the first syllable is pronounced 'how'. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53766: Well constructed, but not interesting for me - two groups based on very similar subjects which I have absolutely no interest in. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DBH @ #53776: Really clever BUT in the time allowed, it is not practical to have so many red herrings for one particular group. So, yes, I agree absolutely with Malcontent. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53773: Ok ideas, but hard to solve when you misspelled Aotearoa as Aotearea, so I thought that group was a red herring, and was looking for more hidden words. (2 years, 11 months ago)

puppi @ #53775: Smeg head - enough cheese????? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Chester @ #53773: I saw and assumed but one should not presume. It did not go unnoticed or unappreciated. :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53776: Clever groups, but so many King Arthur red herrings made it almost impossible to see the actual groups. I only found two lines. It felt annoying rather than challenging. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53773: @Chester, yes but the TR6 was a broad hint for you though? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #53775: Kraft processed cheese spread Cheese ?????? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53748: Fun straightforward grid. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53758: Nicely themed, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #49330: I liked this one lots! Officially I got 7, but I gave myself 10, because I think "alcohol" works. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Chester @ #53773: agree with steve, but thought the de soto was great. much Acclaim (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53773: Liked this. Thanks. Thought what the spitfire group might be but took me a while to get the right combination. Just the right amount of accessibility in this grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Chester @ #53769: Elizabeth Regina, God bless the Queen (2 years, 11 months ago)

steve @ #53773: five stars... but the watchmaker red herring was a bit mean (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53763: Fairly easy but a nice mix. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53765: Yep, Curry group pretty obscure. Meant nothing to me. Rest of grid good. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53769: Probably more common in Melbourne (well, especially my bathroom). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53764: Nice grid. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53769: Interesting different angle. Don’t know if curl and dry work so well for a UK audience as those things wouldn’t spring to mind for me but the whole grid works well. Ty ( though I didn’t get anything haha ). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #49534: This one was pretty brutal! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Murdo @ #53765: I agree, David, but the Curry line was just a bit too far into the niche. It can be a tough balance. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53765: Fun, thanks. The Curry line was inspired in its obscurity. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53762: Let's hear it for the ladies, thank you for the grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53764: I'm happy I at least knew the groups, even if I couldn't sort the clues. A good, tough grid. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tirosh @ #53762: Fantastic grid all around! Nearly had me stumped, solved it with one minute left. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53758: Good grid, got 6/10, and now I feel like having spaghetti. Bravissimo! (2 years, 11 months ago)

matt @ #53758: Great wall, ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53761: Good. Very clever, but too cryptic, one link too obscure to spot, one that's hardly a link and Zen isn't a homophone for Zehn (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53761: Not for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53748: Top grid. Had fun solving this one, cheers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

spoon @ #53748: Maybe add "relatives" as an answer for the category it can apply for (2 years, 11 months ago)

spoon @ #53741: Idk if there is a way to fix the capitalization but it totally gives away one category without knowing what the actual answer is (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53450: No red herrings for your ectomies. None elsewhere for that matter. 33 seconds to complete. Your earlier one wasn't great but took longer to read through. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzbotfly @ #53734: Thanks for your comment but if our grids were that related, I would have been able to solve yours :). They're great but usually too in depth for me. I'm sure there's always seasonal grids put out so we'll be seeing some movie monsters, demons, death etc. Cheers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aladdin @ #46898: Hmmmmm. Not sure about the villains category. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53745: Good grid but way too tough for me. Too many red herrings/crossovers, I spotted seven horses. The answers don't explain what a scurry is. You win 10-1 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53748: Excellent grid, the scales fell with the Preston clue. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53738: I spent most of my time trying to figure out who the fourth female singer was! When I saw the group I did figure it out. Excellent red herring! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hypatia @ #53741: A ray is not a line. Also startlingly easy, in part based on uneven capitalization (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53748: Nice and straightforward. I kept misreading one thing though, so was very confused about my final group, for a moment or two. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53698: I liked it! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53700: Nice grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hypatia @ #53719: Should take "cats" (2 years, 11 months ago)

JD @ #53260: Like greek yoghurt - strained ... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53742: Nice andeasy to solve, but difficult to match the specific wording of the links. I disagree with two of the items being put into two of the categories, but realise it's a matter of opinion, and I solved the groups anyway. None of the things in the bull tail stew group is necessarily tied to the link term. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Coli @ #10425: Terriers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53732: Very nicely done! I'm very annoyed at myself for not figuring it out in time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Coli @ #10433: Utter tripe. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53740: Good wall. Nice ideas, and some devious redherrings. I'm not sure anyone but me will know Brook though. The Germane line was sneaky. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53704: Fun grid, thanks. 2 of the naughty list actually passed well into the 21st century (although doing their most notable work earlier). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53735: 7/10 agh. It was going so well for me until trying to find the Olympia link. Olympia was the only one I knew that fitted the link, so no hope. Very good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53738: Good, but one group was, visually, an obvious group, even though I didn't spot the link until I'd solved the wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #45897: Intriguing and clever (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ur mom @ #52652: It’s very educational for children to learn Spanish ! (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53735: Poor Errol, poor David, if they only knew you were faithless :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Higgins @ #53662: Actually I liked the grid, neat, simple follows all the rules. In the south east region of Bavarian, Munich and towards the Austrian boarders the pronunciation of 'Herr' is more like 'Hur'. Presumptuous to assign regional pronunciations and accents of other countries based upon your own preconceptions, It is close enough to my ear to fit the grid and cannot [as far as I can see] to any other groups, so why pick at it? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jaded Mineral @ #53662: Nice fun grid! "Herr" is pronounced more like "hair" so isn't really a homophone for "her". (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53735: Ah, I always had a crush on Rik. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53734: A good selection there! ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Duffy @ #53728: Your explanation for the group that includes Maggie could be a bit more detailed. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53729: I did not see yours before submitting sorry. Enjoyed this thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

veroocha @ #53730: thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #53706: Loved solving this one, thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

veroocha @ #53731: I solved the wall but was not sure why so all in all happy with 6/10 thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53734: *Something to get your teeth into* (2 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzbotfly @ #53721: Hey, that was great. Nice red herrings and laughed at Oscar in a can. Just confettied it with 12 seconds left. (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53601: That was fun (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53726: Very, very good. I only got six, as I've never heard of Wings, and kept putting All Quiet, in that group instead. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #53706: (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53726: No, it didn't have anyone really known to us : ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53725: Good one, I enjoyed that, failed on a few. The Apartment, one of Jack's finest movies, viewing wise that is. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53717: Very good.hoc group was fiendish, until the line was resolved and I remembered Latin. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53726: Was thinking CC in Nosferatu???? nah. Shh will not give it away. thank you for the confetti (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53728: Nice grid! I snatched a lovely 7 from the very jaws of zero! Huzzah! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

buy ron @ #53725: Well I'll be ! Did not Ho there were so many when I did mine. 2 lines easy but looked too deep [Louis Armstrong, Baz Lurhmann, Chevy Chase etc. Thanks filmbuff, I will return the favour before long. Have I seen any of your family recently, I have had a few cousins knocking about. (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53725: * for the hardcore (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tyghter @ #52656: Just want to say I made this grid and it used to be a bit easier but I updated it to be a little more difficult. (2 years, 11 months ago)

K Yost @ #53720: For Cobblers, Butlers, etc... I said "old professions" meaning archaic jobs which I feel is fair. Otherwise great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53685: Unbearable lol : ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

buy ron @ #53646: very good (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #30000: Very good grid, 5/10, couldn't resolve the wall or the, Play row. Good mix and red herrings, thanks for posting. toffy! (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #7062: loved this one! not much of a tuphy! (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #29154: that last one really was a touffy! (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #36949: really struggled with the wales one, im not welsh! (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #24111: not going to lie, this was quite easy! looking for some toughies! (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #10711: wow that last one was a real tougly! (2 years, 11 months ago)

aidan clements @ #4155: this one was a toughy! (2 years, 11 months ago)

plainplane @ #53706: Nice and satisfying to solve - especially since all the categories were shapes (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53713: The first songs is ludicrously obscure. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53709: Good ideas, really well constructed, but act doesn't sound like acht, sechs and sex are only just close enough to pass (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53709: Good ideas, really well constructed, but act doesn't sound like acht. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #53620: Perhaps I’m just an old fuddy duddy, but I really don’t like it when serial killers are part of what should be a light hearted and fun quiz. (2 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #53706: Excellent quality grid and not to difficult. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53705: Last was just mean. Never heard of it - I thought it was a red herring/typo. Good grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53698: not unique. Rose and Daisy could be swapped into the flowers group (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yussa @ #53685: That was tough but good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yussa @ #53703: That was kinda good, I am not ...inst tricky puzzles and I liked the use of ric (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yussa @ #53702: becoming a little trickier. thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Yussa @ #53700: Also nice but simple. I hope that is not how you are feeling (2 years, 11 months ago)

rokoko @ #53693: poor taste (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53676: Oooh that was sneaky. 'I' was left with 7/8 to disseminate. I thought the dark one was a group not person, I thought wrong but love his song (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53665: I liked that (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53688: Sweet (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #53669: Very neat. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Stephanie Williams @ #53695: There's a typo that makes one of the links quite tricky to get. (2 years, 11 months ago)

C @ #53581: Last answer makes no sense (2 years, 11 months ago)

Anastase @ #53687: Good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah @ #53666: 10 to 6 brilliant, give yourself 100 balloons [any color] (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53666: Great grid, good ideas. Nice and logical.However my inner pedant has to point out that you CAN'T give 110%. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53694: Very good. I don't think it's fair to have Ho without Westward, as that's the name of the place and without Westward there's nothing to connect it to the link properly - I still found that group and the link though. I'm kicking myself over the Les Misérables group link - I'd have scored 10 if I'd just made the obvious guess, though I only knew one definitely fitted it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53693: (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53693: Quite good. Nice and simple (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53692: I remembered your 'song' (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53692: Amadeus was easiest (because I had that group tucked away too) and GG was hardest - all of it was good! TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53688: Nice and easy grid for a Sunday morning. Nice mix, couple of red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53692: *for film buffs only* - a little harder than it looks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53690: Nice and easy except the solo group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

yourmom @ #53358: great quiz (2 years, 11 months ago)

yourmom @ #53681: Giving myself extra points in my mind because it didn't accept a few answers. Good quiz otherwise - couple tricky ones (2 years, 11 months ago)

Damon @ #53689: Engaging thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53666: Super grid. Great ideas, lovely mix of themes. Cracking start to the day. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53394: Another fun one! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53544: Absolutely buckets of fun, this one! :) Not sure the extra time was necessary, but not unappreciated either. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53687: Really good, but am I missing something? Couldn't either Ganges or Yangtze be swapped with Irrawaddy, giving the grid three equally valid solutions? (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53662: Thanks that was great. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53684: Great as usual! Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Damon @ #53669: that was neatly executed (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53669: Nice grid thanks, but shouldn't it be Normandy (proper noun rather than adjectival form)? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53687: Very nice grid. Ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53684: Great, fun grid thank you. My first confetti of the morning. Didn't think it needed the additional time, but top marks nonetheless. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53685: Great fun, thanks. Shop thwarted me, with its different pronunciation from the rest of its group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Gloria @ #53534: That was really good. I got a couple lines but got stuck on the last two. It was really hard to finish the last two. then anthony went over to the couch and fell asleep but his glass tipped over and got ice on the ground. my mom had to pick up the ice cubes. then i typed all this. ty.

Chase @ #53616: Loved this one...very different! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53646: Amazing. I only got 4. Thought the funky homosapian group must have been Hitchhiker's Guide references, and not a clue about the miller group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53646: Amazon. I only got 4. Thought the funky homosapian group must have been Hitchhiker's Guide references, and not a clue about the miller group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53650: Good ideas. I have few niggles - I see that feather goes in its group, but with completely different logic - it doesn't make a phrase with the link. Weather or shuttle would be more pleasing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53650: Good ideas. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53642: Great grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #52969: Good grid bud. Tricky but doable, through elimination (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53355: Your numbering sequence on Carnival of Animals seems out of whack (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53632: Lovely. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53603: Good, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #53620: Didn’t like the hidden instruments being a mix of start and middle and end. Better, I think, to be all start or all middle or all end. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53601: Good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53646: Awesome grid! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53638: V. Good. Took me a while to separate the three lines I saw, but I got them in under 2 mins. My guess of Football Grounds in Scotland for the last (Partick) group didn't pay off though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53639: Clever, with nice ideas, but impossible for me because some ideas weren't carried through logically. For example Euler is a scientist - the constant is known as 'Euler's number', never just Euler, so oiler doesn't work in a group of homophones of mathematical/scientific constants. Was looking for a group of homophones for scientists and homophones of constants or just letters. Would be an excellent grid if things like that were edited to make sense. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #53612: Great (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #53632: Excellent fun (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #53358: Nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton @ #53632: Good blend & some more unusual groups. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53638: Good grid, nice spread of subjects and at least one red herring. Tripped up on the Stetson line. You win 10-7. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #53633: The names of the four people is NOT a category. I typed 'surnames of BBC presenters'. That is a category. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #53631: Like the last two I played, the definitions of the categories was such that it was near impossible to get full marks. I wrote 'Robin Hood characters', 'cabbage', 'biscuits', and London hotel restaurants' and got nothing for any of this. Otherwise, would have been a good puzzle. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53632: Another brilliant one! 5* (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53631: 5* thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53628: Really easy to solve. Poorly worded links. Worst example was that chocolate etc. group - they aren't just sponge cakes, but cake, food, flavouri and ice-cream weren't accepted. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #53601: Needed crossovers (e.g. Years, Rings) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53619: V.good wall. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53619: Nice! I got ten, even though I've not heard of all the films. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53620: I failed at this. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53621: I got five - couldn't sort the Camille line from the north by Northwest line. I thought there was a Hitchcock group there and didn't know the films well enough to see the Camille group link. Very good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53630: Never going to happen. 1/10 by lucky guess and like Malcontent I only knew 2 in that group. Fiendish isn’t for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53626: I got seven. Loved the Cryer group (I didn't know the exact link). The Paisley group made me laugh. I missed the Scowie Water line link - it looked like there was a much more obvious link for it, but that was a horrible trick. I think that's not really fair. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53610: Good! Liked it (2 years, 11 months ago)

MRH @ #53629: Brands surely (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53630: This is a complete rip off of JmT's impossible one. It's not as hard when I knew what to look for, but the rehydration group entries are quite obscure only knew two. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MRH @ #53628: Need to singularise accepted answers (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53618: Rubbish (2 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySusanna @ #53628: Thank you - got it quickly for once. Couldn't the flavours also apply to ice creams? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53627: Utter nonsense... (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53624: Not good.. Especially the Monday one. Lunacy linked to Monday. I think not.. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #53625: Era is not a unit of time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53627: I also got 2/10. And a sore brain. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53627: I think it was an achievement to get 2/10. Blimey! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53618: Very clever but much too fiendish for me. Only got 2. I'm hopeless at finding the groups when they're more than two steps of logic away from the clue. Not sure honda works that group though - it'd a word that goes with, rather than a synonym or alternate. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53617: Evil. Too many confusing vomits. Very good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #53614: Nice wall with a couple of good detractors (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kaphc @ #53622: Good connecting themes, I thought that a couple of the groups didn't fit too well together so I struggled a bit (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53622: For once I saw what I needed to see, and more. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53619: If I got 7/10 it’s got to be a medium. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53618: Blimmin’ ‘eck, it sure was fiendish. Not a chance. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JMT @ #53617: Nicely done, if somewhat stomach churning, TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hypatia @ #53616: Nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Till E @ #53573: Stj, just ignore. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kruptos j @ #53589: Liked it TY did you mean surprise? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53556: The Crosby films are well known, so no niche knowledge needed, and the hotels are common too. The birds and the instruments also fall easily within the general category of general knowledge. I did not get either the birds or the instruments, but the fault was mine- I just failed to spot the concealed words. So no, Jim, the grid was far from impossible, just very sneaky. A good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53587: Well constructed, but too niche and too specific for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53613: Don’t know if Molly really works as I’d spotted the others including the red herring. Any alternatives? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53612: Wonderful. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #53440: The ensign etc connection feels very arbitrary, they are not even pronounced the correct way (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53610: Excellent grid! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53609: Nice change 🙂 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53577: @ Dark Knight, you probably do other style grids by this setter and love them. I’d asked for this style as I find them quite funny and a welcome change every now and again. I see how it could be irritating if you didn’t see what was going on though. Like you say you can just avoid them now you know. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53605: Interesting mix. Liked the idea for the Cury group. I’d actually found the group and thought of that option for Cury but didn’t didn’t think of the others. Might steal that idea for another grid if that’s ok. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53603: Straightforward but led me to look up the Turing **** and now I know why the film was called that. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Chase @ #53544: Very nice (2 years, 11 months ago)

Chase @ #53594: Excellent, as always! Thank you :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53599: Liked that. Managed 7/10 as I thought there were Lords in there. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53601: Nice grid. Ty. Is this 3 star btw? - if so I know you’ll be interested to know you mistyped Magnificent ;-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53577: Worst grid I’ve seen in weeks. Oh well, each to their own, I’ll just avoid this setter in future. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #53566: A quiz site, not a platform for political doctrine (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53577: No. Just - no. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53595: This would have been challenging enough for me without the crossovers 😄 Some super talented people there. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53595: I'm not sure whether I liked this or hated it. Got one line, but all four links. Obviously don't know enough about these actors/writers. The redherrings/crossovers were great, I just didn't enough fit it together. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53566: Solving the grid was very easy- two groups were obvious and one hung together as 'positive things internationally'. Two links weren't great - one (peace) where items could fit umpteen different links and another (Black Sea) you'd need to be a mind-reader or ridiculously lucky to get right - I got lucky and scored a point for guessing Ukraine for it. I got 7 but not because the grid made sense to me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

3 *** @ #53580: Very good indeed, Vacillated between food, music or liberals and ended up with just 4/10. Thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

3 *** @ #53581: Very good indeed. well done (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53594: Sorry, clicked submit too fast! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53594: I can't believe I got this one! This was a very awesome and challenging grid! Yay you! :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

3 *** @ #53594: Very happy with a full house, ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53594: Ah, too tough for me this one. Got some but not enough. Could you add the answers for the Foremost in Chicago group please. Thanks for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

3 *** @ #53589: This is not a particularly good example of a grid and certainly not the style or quality of a gridlington grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

3 *** @ #53318: @bigz - you are wrong (2 years, 11 months ago)

bigz @ #53318: the jewel and tire groups need help (2 years, 11 months ago)

d @ #53544: I've really been enjoying this style of grid. When you know what form to look for it allows for harder clues while remaining very satisfying and solvable. I got a 10 but it took me down to 30 sec and the penultimate guess with lots of thought expended along the way. (2 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #53358: Great, fun grid thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53589: @Corrector thanks. I can see the purpose of the system but it’s not without its flaws as if the first few people mark a grid down then it likely isn’t seen by a wide enough audience who might mark it up. I’m not saying this is an outstanding example. I was just curious. Is Pink Table Gridlington? I can’t keep up. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Corrrector @ #53589: @Fam, the stars are awarded by players, if the star quality falls below 3 or 2 and half the grid id no longer shown on the front page. To see these you have to select the grid quality at the top of the screen. The level of difficulty may also alter from that originally set again depending on the difficulty stars settings chosen. NB gridlington has been a quality and honourable setter for a long time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53573: Good grid, nice spread of subjects, several red herrings. 10s all round. Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53579: Crikey, I’m getting confused with who’s who. Maybe this was set by St John. Or maybe Gridlington is St John. For all I know there are only about 5 people on this site each with numerous names! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53589: Can someone tell me, if a grid gets marked down does it get taken off the main page? I did this on the main page but now it doesn’t appear. The connections are very loose but I imagine if someone knew politics and history and saw the theme they could possibly get it ( with a bit of wordplay and guessing thrown in ). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Kay @ #53510: Wow, I did not know a SINGLE ONE of these. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53589: Too tough for me ( only the dam line ) but you did put it down as fiendish so some might get it if they clock the theme. Made me read a little anyway. Thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53557: Tricky indeed, woo was the give away for that line. Got two other lines. Tristan was a good red herring. The other 4 were obvious. Didn't know the Gough line. You win 10 -7 Thanks for posting (2 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #53573: @ Sedge Just as kids computer games are uninteresting and unknown to many regulars. Stop trying to narrow down the structure to something you are comfortable with - and stifling creativity and difference. The idea is to stretch your brain. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jo @ #53563: Dont you just mean new world order? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53579: Fantastic grid! And I can say that even though I only scored 3/10. St John should like this one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jo @ #53566: Aims of UN? Naive (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53577: Well, luckily the grid was resurrected because of the comments otherwise I would have missed it. Wow, refreshed twice but still didn’t make it all. Bhat oven and Mild Cormorant lines were made but couldn’t figure enough of the other two to make it, though I knew the connections. Thank you, and sorry for the extra enemies accrued 😄 You seem to be getting a right pasting this afternoon! (2 years, 11 months ago)

kpot @ #53575: Got this. thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lloyd @ #56: Not a bad grid apart from the two unusual words which rely on obscure knowledge rather than working things out. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DBS101 @ #53484: @D @Midge Galactic Basic Standard, known in-universe as Basic, is indeed from Star Wars. One of those things that people never say the full name of- even I didn't know that's what it was short for, I've only ever heard Basic. It was after getting for the programming languages, along with Java. (2 years, 11 months ago)

kpot @ #53562: Russia - NATO? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lloyd @ #53557: Any fool can choose four lists which require VERY specific knowledge. How about making a grid that you solve from first principles e.g. by placing hidden PATTERNS, or something a little more stimulating, so that there's something to 'work out' using your brain, rather than simply recall. Your grids are just endless lists. Have you seen Only Connect? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53577: @ Lloyd - not a troll - this was made by request. If the grid is no longer on the first page, it has been marked down because I appear to have annoyed someone or some people. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53573: Well that's me been told off then. It would seem I have to learn how to make grids based on first principles [not entirely sure what that means] and think. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Lloyd @ #53577: I hope you're a troll. That was a total waste of your time making that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Sedge @ #53573: Are you a troll? If not, please check out other grids, which involve working things out from first principles rather than knowing the names of alcoholic drinks (harder to make grids I know as it involves thinking). Not every adult drinks and some of the players here are under 18 (UK) or 21 (US). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Est289 @ #53574: I really liked this grid! Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53559: Too hard for me (scored 3), but v. good, I think. Gave up trying to solve when I realised it needed knowledge of Bond, sport and pop music. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53556: I’m annoyed with myself, but I really shouldn’t be annoyed with you. Me 4/10, you 10/10. And I looked so hard! Saw a couple but didn’t persevere. One was staring me in the face for heaven’s sake! 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53537: Stumped again! But I came away with some knowledge, and I liked the trick in the 'scaffold' group, one of my favorites. Thanks for the grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53548: Ditto, pls check your accepted answer. I tried it twice, once because I thought I had typed wrongly secondly with upper case. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53545: Got it, excellent grid! Thank you, Hamburger, for the insight. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53548: Good grid, I like the use of the 'phantom' group, the only issue I have is that the 'Cash' answer doesn't work, so I gave myself the point. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53545: I guess the clue was in the name. Brutal grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53510: Very nice grid, the only thing I got was the Rick Roll. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53526: The only group I recognized was the birds, and that's not even right. As for the show, the only presenter I remember was 'Dickinson' when I watched it years ago. This grid was a stumper, but a good one, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53546: I highly recommend this grid! Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53546: :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53532: Good grid. Done by the Dragon line. Whenever anyone throws in one of those or a video game based line it’s enough to make the whole grid trickier for me. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53546: Oooh, such a bastardy red herring! You very nearly got me with that one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53534: Good grid despite looking impossible to start. Got two lines then only recognised enough from the other two groups to try to put them in a group together that wasn’t specific enough. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53526: ah! I thought you meant Bells or Haigh's :-D (2 years, 11 months ago)

Even @ #53516: Incorrect spelling spoil this as it makes it unfair even if you've got the link. Without giving too much a way it should be "Raspberry" and not "Raspberries". Also, it's just the same idea repeated 4 times. Needs variation to be interesting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53481: Good. Liked wall theme - big fan. Got two lines straight away. Saw one other link but couldn't sort out the other two groups. Love the Potato Chips film, but that's the only quote I really recognised from it - if you'd also had ' cherry pits in her head' and 'tried to sleep in the bathtub' I'd have solved the wall. Didn't know the last link (my heart belongs to daddy) as I've not seen that film. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53510: This was a fun one (2 years, 11 months ago)

JD @ #7434: verbs? hmmm synonyms worry? more work neede on this (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53507: Good, but logic of the Shakespeare group link was very vague for such specific link words. (2 years, 11 months ago)

tcpankratz @ #53440: The yes connection is pretty hard (2 years, 11 months ago)

tigermoth @ #53394: I don't think the clue for young fox is correct (2 years, 11 months ago)

tcpankratz @ #53448: Really fun concept! (2 years, 11 months ago)

D @ #53484: BASIC is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming l******s whose design philosophy emphasizes ease of use. The original version was designed by John G. Kemeny and Thomas E. Kurtz and released at Dartmouth College in 1964 (2 years, 11 months ago)

D @ #53484: What is Basic here? Google isn't giving me anything (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53504: I'm sensing a theme haha! good puzzle. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53503: I liked that, my type of music plus your mellotronic sense of humour. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53502: Simple but good, Glad I change my mind as pay control did not feel right. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53504: Fair warning Midge [no offence meant] (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53502: Nice quick grid. I enjoyed it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53484: Good. Fluked getting 10 - didn't know the full reason why basic fitted into its group, but your link terms were generous. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53499: Thank you. Glad some people like it. Hope calling myself 'MidgeMusic' was enough warning that this might be a bit of a themed wall (no one warns me about the sport ones or the 'who won a bafta in 1979 ones though). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Roy @ #53448: V V V good (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dogma @ #53499: I spotted the Eine Kleine group, because the composer was a linkthe other day. Cornish Corsairs made me see the rest of its group. I couldn't separate the other two and still couldn't spot the final link - maybe it's too well hidden to give anyone a chance? Very tough, a bit niche, but good. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Syuhax @ #53358: Nice one, just the right level (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53484: Elvish - excellent! (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #53499: My head just imploded. Very good. I got two lines, and three links (if I allow myself G & S, which you didn't- I shouldn't have been lazy and used abbreviations). The mice line was impossible, but great. I ought to have known there was a hidden word line, but they didn't leap out even though the group was so disparate it HAD to be a hidden word one (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53499: Gilbert, yes - the rest no. Tough especially Mice line. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53499: A tough one! Got me stumped by a couple of lines and i failed to make a full connection. I enjoyed learning with this one though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Flanners @ #53448: Love the concept, still takes some thought even when you crack the pattern. Great grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53478: Good, you led me down the herbs garden path. ty (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53430: I knew most of the links but couldn't put the groups together so only got 4. Nice idea for a grid though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

wizzer @ #53478: Ah Parsley the lion from the Herbs! Nice grid thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53432: Some real facepalm moments when i saw the answers here (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53484: A lowly four for me on this, but more through stupidity than bad puzzle making. A great grid, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53494: Only 2/10 here. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53478: sorry will correct must be a typo (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53484: Oh very good! I keep kicking myself for missing things. Every time. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #53478: Nice grid, wasn't aware of Parsley the Lion or tea as a shade of green but satisfying to solve Also 'guacamole' wasn't accepted (2 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #53467: What? (2 years, 11 months ago)

barry womble @ #53446: Really enjoyed this, thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #53407: I'll confess that walls where all 4 solutions require the same mechanic are less enticin to me than a lot of players here, but this is a very good example of a single-track board, well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mr DR Shaw @ #53372: Sorry to upset all the opera aficionados and spoiling all of your fun. I have edited the grid now so as to not upset anyone else who attempts to have some fun with this grid. May you all have a blessed day (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53478: What a delightful little grid! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53479: Loved this, even though I only scored three (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53477: I thought at first that this might be a joke grid but I grouped them on what looked like went together and guessed what they were and turns out they were all right 😀 Thanks for posting. I’ll make do with a DB11 if I win the Euromillions tomorrow. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #53358: Excellent (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53473: Very nicely linked! It looked like you had dedicated a link to Victorian politics at the moment ; ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mrsbusman @ #53448: Great grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53473: All good links but for some reason I was completely blind. Great when a grid can do that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53397: Do you know I think you are right. They are funnier in print, somehow not quite so crass or obvious. Though I know these films inside out, I must confess to laughing more as I researched and wrote them down. Thanks for the kind comments - now what is next in the pipeline? (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53407: I really liked this. It was tough at first, but it unravelled nicely and i got a confetti. Woop woop (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pesto party @ #53407: nice grid thsnks (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53473: Had me stumped on a couple but really enjoyed it (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53473: "Nice and Friendly" (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53472: The linking words don't seem broad enough for this. There's also a couple of typos (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53397: Had a little look at this on the basis of film buff’s comment ( I can never solve them ). The lines somehow seem funnier in print. ‘Notice anything unusual about it?’ It’s made me want to dig out an old film and watch it with my mum. Very good! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53437: Got it! Very nice, thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53437: Thought, I'd lost my touch this morning. But I got this one (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53443: I was stumped by this apart from one line and guessing another when they were revealed. Good work (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53183: WV - I did try, can't have everything. (2 years, 11 months ago)

BabyJane @ #53450: Easier than the last one... thankfully! (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53450: Time to put that book away, take two aspirins and go to school. Enough (2 years, 11 months ago)

salmacis @ #53447: The Pool group didn't really work for me, and Port au Prince was mis-spelled. I liked the other two groups though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53183: Very good grid. I saw the six endings, and whooped, as those are some of my favorite books; I only wish you could have worked 'Treader' in there somewhere. Thanks for the grid! (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53446: Ditto :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53407: My best 'Only Connect' round. I can maybe get one question, if I'm lucky, in the other rounds, but missing vowels are where I get most of my points. Thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53435: Clever grid, the only group I didn't have a clue on was the 'Callouses' group, but when I saw the answer, I smiled as that is a trick I like to use myself. Thanks for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53450: To my surprise, I actually worked this out. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53445: Nice grid, I knew three groups, but the 'Sam' group was beyond me. A Very nicely constructed grid, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53447: Well, film buff gets it, and maybe I do on the basis of Tilly’s comment, but this is too much for my little head in the morning. A puzzle within a puzzle. Time for a cup of tea. ( it’s the whole thing right? ) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Hamburger @ #53448: I always struggle with these, but enjoy them nonetheless. Cheers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53443: 10/10, very nice, thanks for posting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53447: A good learning experience, and I have to say that the 'Welsh' group was fiendishly clever. I knew that the 'Cornish' group had something to do with the British Isles, and had the idea of the 'Of Wits' group, I was saying some of them out loud, but that's as far as I got. Nice tough grid, thanks! (2 years, 11 months ago)

film buff @ #53183: Family members - not fair! I have struggle away on my own : ( (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53422: Well it is valid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53448: Found these ones harder but still got the groups. Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53421: Easy? when you find them! took a little while and had lots of fun looking. A quality grid (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53447: Typo on Port Au Prince. That seems a funny line for you. Liked the Of Words connection. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53446: I didn't do so well. I forgot his first name and then thought of Gertrude, so that line passed me by. Now if you had used ...? well never mind. The Hitch one, I thought "artists" Dali etc. Time for my morning coffee, thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

CJ Thomas @ #42675: Good one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

CJ Thomas @ #53432: Got 6, but it gave me a correct for saying feather! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #32853: Came across this one of yours St. John, and though I didn’t get it first off I thought it was rather good so worth highlighting for others to enjoy. Once the grid was resolved and I saw the format I still enjoyed guessing some of it. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53435: Some terms I’ll have to google there but good grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

dgms @ #53372: Three really good groups (though I thought West Side Story was a Bernstein musical, which Sondheim helped out on, rather than being a Sondheim show), but the wall was invalidated by one group that's a nonsense. Operas don't have to be sung through, without spoken words, and being through composed, without dialogue doesn't make something opera. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53432: Great. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

spoon @ #53358: Took me a while to get the "sweet paste" theme. Great puzzle (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #14820: What a crafty and fun grid Mister Tom! From a while ago and yet refreshing. You got me with Dennis the Menace. I must have tried every other combination then ran out of time. Thanks Colin for highlighting this grid. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53406: @Fam the trolling is really quite bizarre and off-putting for what is otherwise a wonderful site. I would have never expected it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53424: Good, but Rhubarb? Also veggie and chilli can be swapped . Change chilli to corn. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53428: Rhythm. Not rhythym. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53424: Managed 10, but never heard of rhubarb as a word for that link. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53421: Really good. Evil red herrings. Didn't see the heart link before solving the other groups. (2 years, 11 months ago)

K @ #52996: It's spelled Rosie (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53427: @ Malcontent. Saw that one. Gave up filling inlonks once I saw the (not)'opera' (at all) link. Not worth bothering. Decided to do the Threepenny Opera group as a bit of a joke because of that. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53424: Burger could have equally been sandwich, or a wholebunch of other items - not a good group. Rhubarb? (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53421: Easy, but enjoyable. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53427: That was fun, but fairly similar to another music based wall I saw earlier. This one was actually good and uses a real definition of opera though. (2 years, 11 months ago)

humphreydumphrey @ #53425: This was a very stimulating and great puzzgrid.

BabyJane @ #53419: This was a toughie. I spent most of the time just staring at it haha. (2 years, 11 months ago)

P @ #53423: Good links, but you need a few red herrings to make it more challenging (e.g. putting a couple of bird names that belong in other categories, like "Swift" could belong to an authors categories, "Sparrow" could be fictional captains, etc.) (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53411: Idiom to say that just because someone is not well educated or educated at all, they are not stupid but competent and sensible in other worldly matters e.g "he may not have read Shakespeare, but he knows haw many ... make five" (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53411: Clever mix up. But ‘how many make five’? Lost. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53404: @Dogma, did you comment on someone else’s grid earlier today? as it didn’t seem like your kind of phrasing. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53410: One refresh and we got there. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53343: @ Fan same here. I thought disgusting processed 'food' full of refined sugar was a good answer. Never heard of Ambrosia Salad, or two of the things in the Lennox group (though I got that link) I think this should have been an American grid not a UK one. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53372: Kind of ok, but a little samey and the groups don't all work. The operas group is spurious - Hamilton's full title is 'Hamilton an American Musical', and your definition of Opera is musical is simply wrong, or are you saying that Die Zauberflote and Carmen aren't opera? And as that group is undeniably invalid, it undermines the fairly adequate remainder of the grid. Actually, I'm getting less enthusiastic about thus wall the more I think about it, and your reply reiterating your incorrect assertion doesn't make it any less inaccurate. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53263: The Hufnpuf thing, tough hugely popular and successful in the US, it was only shown in the UK for two seasons in 1970/1 on London Weekend TV. So if one is not in the right age group or living in the right area at the time, one wouldn't have heard of it, like me. Midge , the Anderson one of yours is a point in case for me, I am too old and that one passed me by as I discovered beer and other interests. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53263: @Midge, I’d be lost on your wall too but the comments are making me laugh 😂 I did the Banana Splits wall too and looked up the other American tv show. I’d never heard of it and was none the wiser once I’d seen it. I’m not convinced anyone knows it. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53406: I find all this trolling, posting under someone else’s name, commenting (deliberately) under someone else’s name baffling. I mean, what is to be gained? I find it even more bizarre on a puzzling website 😄 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53263: @Horatio I'll take the criticism for the Zelda group, but thei It-star link was a brilliant TV show! The other day I saw a wall where two groups were characters from the Banana Splits, and characters from another American Kids TV show from the '70s that I've never heard of (never broadcast over here). That annoyed me even more than the 'pacman monsters with the first letter changed' group from another wall. (2 years, 11 months ago)

salmacis @ #53404: Decent grid, but would be better if you had found another imperial measurement instead of Metre. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53396: @St John - I thought Edward VI was the curve ball for that group because he existed as an actual monarch later. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53407: You made this accessible which is more than I did for mine of the same ilk. I think the key is to make the groups distinct and not to make it so difficult that you put people off. Success on both fronts for you! Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pookington @ #53407: I love the missing vowel grids. I either figure them out in a few seconds, or I don't figure them out at all. Got 10 in this one :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53406: I agree with Pw62 (2 years, 11 months ago)

Pw62 @ #53406: @Midge, user names like commentators names are not "owned" by anyone. I have posted under 30+ names in the past to avoid trolls. There is no way of preventing it. It is not illegal, so I do not think the owners/monitors of the site can use individual email addresses to "warn off" non desirables. One has to put up with it (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53405: V.good. couldn't see the jive link at all (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53406: @St John. You mean you can submit walls under another user's name? Or do you mean the account bus hacked? Not great either way I know I've commented at least once, using another user's name, accidentally, when trying to aim a comment to them, but didn't know you could 'steal' a name. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53407: These are always fun. The smaller the group the more difficult I find, but knowing you, knowing me, the puzzles keep on flowing. thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dogma @ #53404: Navy was fiendish - I've never heard of it. I saw all the links, in 20 seconds, just couldn't assemble any lines. Great ideas .Not sure it works like a wall on the show though. Head and Arm can be swapped with Hand and Foot, so there are at least five valid solutions, and it's virtually impossible to pick the one out of the five valid ones, that you've decided is correct. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #51938: Nicely done. Ah! I see an imposter lurking (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53400: @Peter I got the other numbers first. Had no idea about the 13 group, even after the wall resolved. Good wall. Only solved 1 line & 2 links and didn't actually get the full link for the second one taskmaster). Not really interested in any of the categories. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #40760: yes? are you a spirit from the other realm trying to contact someone? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53396: @Midge - it works perfectly well as far as I am concerned. I assumed the nationalities but that is the beauty of a being a puzzle setter, one can throw curve balls. It works when the player realises they have been duped, yet, find it pleasing and rewarding. (2 years, 11 months ago)

starfairy @ #53397: 6* if I was allowed :D:D Same for your last one! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53402: Very very good. Sometimes it clicks and sometimes it doesn’t. Got the tarte group but didn’t know why, then got one more group once resolved. Good connections. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53396: @St John is Mary I ok there? Tried to be careful about answers that can be swapped. I don't think she can fit in the other group. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53402: Enjoyable, but I didn't like Fennec in its group, but there were no red herrings for that, so it wasn't too hard anyway. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53381: If you go to your email Jacob you’ll be able to edit your grid if you want. Once you check for spellings, put capital letters at the start of each word, and change out the Noah group it will work fine as an easy grid. I learnt something interesting about chickens by doing your grid! Thank you! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #53400: Fun grid. Though once you get the group with *one* of the numbers in then it's obvious which group the rest go in :) (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53396: Oh very good. I too saw Perkin and A.N. Other but was led as[h]tray, even blind to Mary. Congratulations well done. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53388: One for the gamers. (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53398: Great fun, it was a bit like a jack in the box at the end waiting to see which groups were what they were or an alternative. Bravo (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53398: Great! You got me in the end with two of the groups. Ive seen Black-Eyed Susan on here a few times but couldn’t remember who/what she was. Thanks. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Bless Doris but I might have used Dian Dors instead. sorry for the DD entendre, been reading a lot of Carry On scripts recently [too UK for you?] Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Dogma @ #53381: There were a couple of good, valid ideas here. One group is total, pointless crap, one group is easy. Apart from the 'there all in my class' group, which needs removing, it just needs editing for spelling and grammar to make it valid and worth bothering with. No stars (2 years, 11 months ago)

DoubleDare @ #53355: Honestly, I think this was great. I can't say that my score was good, but the grid certainly was. Very enjoyable, easily worth the five stars. Thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Mr DR Shaw @ #53372: @Ben I'm sorry you didn't enjoy my grid, but isn't that the idea of red herrings? I'd be interested to see the 20 legitimate ways of dividing them up, that is contrary to the normal types of grids we got on this site. Also, an opera is a stage musical or play in which ALL dialogue is sung i.e. no spoken dialogue, so Hamilton is a modern-day opera. Hakuna Matata (2 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53394: Excellent, love this type of grid. Hadn't a clue about the Sumerian thing. But it sorts itself out once you spot the plot. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #53371: Nice and straightforward because of Freeway group. Found the lines in 45 seconds. Made a (lucky) educated guess at the Aphrodite group. V.good. Thanks (2 years, 11 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53396: V.good, but I saw the Perkin group straight away - if I didn't know that, I'd have got nowhere. Edward VI confused me, but after that, the two groups were obvious. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53394: Thanks. Almost got it under 3 mins but the extra time took the pressure off. Good grid. Was it you who did one in this style before? I like it as even if you don’t know all the clues you can start piecing it together. Enjoyed! (2 years, 11 months ago)

Ben @ #53372: Grids where everything essentially fits in the same category are frankly very frustrating. There must be at least 20 legitimate ways of dividing up 16 musicals into 4 groups, making the "correct" answer entirely arbitrary. Also, that's a definition of "opera" I have never heard before. That's what I would call a "sung-though musical", while an opera is a separate genre, which is usually (but not always) sung-through. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Murdo @ #53326: A good, standard grid. Even the more popular culture groups are just about general knowledge enough for most people. ... However, your desciption of one group was only correct until 1920. Today, two of them are not what you say they are - the other one changed in 2002. Timing is everything!

Fam @ #53352: Yes, I was unsure of that too St John. I think it’s American English but I’d seen it on here a few times so thought maybe people used it interchangeably. Does it really throw that line out? (2 years, 11 months ago)

St John @ #53357: had not heard of the poppy, good grid thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53367: Thanks Jmelb. I haven’t seen them before. Got Cheese line as that was a way in. Seeing as it's quite hard anyway might be kinder to put ‘skin fruit’ so that the word is in the correct tense. And I don’t think ‘body of water’ really describes that word. Rather it could be ‘creates body of water’ as the body of water would be the reservoir itself. I still wouldn’t have got those lines anyway though :-) (2 years, 11 months ago)

Fam @ #53354: Stumped me for all but one line but I really should look harder. Ty. (2 years, 11 months ago)

DoubleDare @ #53352: Great grid. Fair and well-crafted, not too easy or too hard. I did miss the last two groups (though I think I definitely could/should have got them), but I got all the connections right, so 6/10. All in all, a fun grid. Thank you. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53328: Excellent. Easy but fun. (2 years, 11 months ago)

JayDee @ #53338: Nice grid. Really liked the Benatar etc category because it was unusual and challenging but not impossible to get if you gave it some thought (I didn't get it, but once I saw the answer it made sense). (2 years, 11 months ago)

Tposer @ #53314: Interesting ideas, but the states connection seemed a bit too obscure. With that many states, there are probably countless equally valid ways of dividing up (eg states bordering Utah/ states with a coastline), and not enough time to try all possibilities. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53260: Took a while, TY (2 years, 11 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53308: I liked that, especially ka. thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53304: a nice easier puzzle, and like TPoser, I fell for the same trick. thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53306: I laugh at my own blindness. shane etc genre? nah cannot be that obvious and war line thought there had to be something in them also and I could only assume deafness, did not see what was staring me in the face. Fun, thank you (2 years, 11 months ago)

koshatnik @ #53254: Excellent and original grid. Sorted out the groups and three of the connections only to draw a blank on the Blue group. Thanks for setting! (2 years, 11 months ago)

TALLPAUL713 @ #53301: Absolutely awful wall. Too niche. The criteria for a good wall is, would it, could it, be shown on the actual show for real. This has no chance, someone showing off. Never do a wall again compiler. (2 years, 11 months ago)

Drh1988 @ #53236: Malcontent - thanks for your feedback. I’ve made some alterations to those two groups based on your comment. Thanks. (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53280: Definitely fiendish, but I did three of the groups, so I am pleased with myself for that. Thank you for the grid, tough as it was! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ant @ #53261: I enjoyed this grid. Thank you. I had never realised how much overlap pokemon and coldplay had in common. :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ant @ #53260: No, I would say difficult. Very difficult in fact. I couldn't parse any of the clues in time, and I think part of that might be that some were just terrible (the pizza line in particular were some incredibly strained defs). (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53251: I did think about that, but the problem is that 'technically' such an answer would be incorrect. 'Shell' itself is not an oil company; the official name of the oil operation is 'Royal Dutch Shell', and 'Mobil' is part of 'ExxonMobil', which actually owns 'Esso'. That leaves 'Chevron' which is the only answer in that group which is, in and of itself, an oil company; however all four are names of gas/petrol stations. I hope that helps, and by all means, have the point since you clearly had the idea. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53276: Easy but fun, and good novel groups. Ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ant @ #53255: I got the Shakespeare group and the homophone group, but not the others. Still i think this was a good grid. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ant @ #53254: Nice grid, thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

GrooveJuice @ #53213: The Poughkeepsie line is probably too obscure; it's there just for the bit of fun in seeing if anyone was familiar with the link. I wouldn't call the rest obscure; an immensely popular novella, major cities, and some of the biggest names in a sport don't seem ridiculously elusive. (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53270: Very nice 10/10. Thank you! (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53248: Fell flat on this one, 'Lunt with bee' is clever though. Thanks for the grid! (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53028: I should say that it is a nice grid, I learned a couple of things from it. Than you, Buzzelli, for posting! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53028: Thank you WVPuzzler (2 years, 12 months ago)

Buzzelli @ #53028: @bigz, City breaks are popular short holidays and to make a maximum break 147 [155] is a target in snooker. On the cards is a common idiom for meaning something is likely to happen similar to in the cards. I hope this clarifies the issue? (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53028: Bigz, 'on the cards' and 'in the cards' are idioms with the same meaning. A 'maximum break' refers to the game of Snooker, and a 'city break' is a vacation or holiday spent in a city. All information that a quick Google search turns up. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53270: @ Ben, you could type all those in and you would probably hit one, the easier way is to use "synonym" as a cover all. You obviously solved the wall, well done and please award yourself the missing points. Thank you for playing (2 years, 12 months ago)

bigz @ #53028: Two groups have nonsense clues. The phrase is IN the cards, not on the cards. And what the H is a City or Maximum break?????? (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ben @ #53270: Need more detail when typing responses. I put "anger", "use" and "colour". (2 years, 12 months ago)

Horatio @ #53263: Two lines in this grid requir such detailed and obscure knowledge that is is virtually impossible for someone with excellent general knowledge to even begin, and the setter may be the only person alive with the knowledge of both these areas to be able to solve their own puzzle! The word lines were also so vague as to again make solving within 3 minutes absolutely impossible. Just not much fun, which should be the point. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53261: Ran around but could not catch a cold (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53219: Bombed out on this and scored one. I should have got the saddle group, Frasier being spelled wrong had me searching for groups that weren't there. Dawn had me lost, as all the others in the group went after the link word. Never heard of Alone in the context of the group link. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53259: too hard for me, but appreciate the composition (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53255: @dgms, that’s what I found out when I looked it up and was wondering if there was something else. Just seems a bit obscure when the other things you can at least see. I did ‘A’ level biology but admittedly I got a poor grade. Perhaps I would have been better off watching Casualty :-) (2 years, 12 months ago)

dgms @ #53259: I completely failed at this. Excellent. I knew what one line had to be, was pretty sure of another but wasn't able to pick all the right ones for either. I got three links after time though. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Synch10 @ #53256: peru = Spanish for pedro? have you mixed up your boxes? (2 years, 12 months ago)

dgms @ #53255: I meant to say ' not unknown to non-medics or non-biologists' (2 years, 12 months ago)

dgms @ #53255: @ Fam Caecum (or Americanised as cecum), is part of the intestine. It's pronounced the same as Secombe as in Harry Secombe. It's definitely not uknown to non-medics or biologists. I knew it and I didn't even do biology GCSE, but I do watch Casualty and Holby City. I double checked the pronunciation of both Secombe and Caecum before I submitted (actually, I was going to swap Hare in instead of Secombe, but realised that would mean being very strict with the definition in the mole group, or ditching mole). (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dogma @ #53256: V.good. I only managed it because two things in the Esteban group (third line I solved) rang a bell. Portugal The really helped me with the first group I saw (had to guess one other item in that line), thank you. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53258: Found one group, saw the link of the wen group, but couldn't get all four. Had no chance with the others only heard of one in the Level group and the ink group means nothing to me. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53259: I got one, saw another link but couldn't sort the group before the time finished. Good themes, but too many red herrings of exactly the same sort that could go in the same group. Good, but frustrating not enjoyable. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Hampton @ #53248: Fun grid (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53258: Got one line but not knowing the ink line made the rest of it a mess. Can see why you put it in though. Ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53248: Malcontent, I wondered about that too but checked a thesaurus and they used it as a synonym, so I left it. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53257: Falls out pretty easily once you dismiss the red herrings. (2 years, 12 months ago)

VCM @ #53257: Good fun. Didn't get all the groups but hey (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53255: Am I missing something with secombe? Is that commonly known? I got the other 3 in that group but have never even heard of it and when I’ve looked it up it doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the group. Tough grid. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53248: Very good. I think Acrid should be Acid though - Acrid is more bitter, than sour, so I feel Acid is closer to your link word. I'm just nitpicking because I saw the other three in that group straight off, but solved it third, when it was obvious Acrid was the only thing left that could fit. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53255: Can't decide if it's great or terrible. Saw 2 links in the wall - couldn't get 4 of anything in time. Saw 1 more link when groups were sorted. 2 things in the boomerang group were v. obscure. I should have been able to get the 4 in the v. obvious secombe group. V. good (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53236: The two station groups don't work, I'm afraid. There are songs called Cannon Street, Victoria (and 'Euston Station', and there's probably a song called Paddington too), and Waterloo is a London terminus station in zone one with national rail services, so there are at least three valid solutions to the grid as it is. (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53108: Thanks for the comment, David, it's a lot to take in, but I do appreciate the time you took to post your thoughts. The grid is more involved than a typical connecting wall, and I want quizzers to have enough time to read and think about the clues, and so I increased the time limit to five minutes. You are right that 'Germany' is what I hope to be a subtle hint its group as Volkswagen is a German automaker, the important part of the clue, however, is 'book of maps' (Atlas). A major factor in writing clues like this is limited space, so I try to be pithy but concise, and the negative integers that lead on Golf scoreboards lend themselves to a view, in my opinion, that 'negative is positive'. I do take your point about consistency in the color group; in my defense, I will say that it was easy to find words that include 'red', and bridging the other colors was done so as not to give the game away in that group so easily. Thank you for spotting the phantom NATO connection. It was unintentional, but if you found a new layer of complexity in the grid, I salute you! Thank you again for your comment. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53241: The lagoon group could also be a group in which all items contain double letters. None of the things in that group could be swapped into the other groups that have things with double letters. I'm glad double letters wasn't the answer though - it's such a lame link. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53248: Nice and easy apart from the applause group, because it was a different type of link from the other three. V good. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53204: No Yve, dint is fine - look it up. This wall is excellent. I love the square.group. Superb. My only (very minor) quibble is that a standard abbreviation for the Prefect group is hhgttg, so that should be included in the marking scheme. But still, this is certainly a five-star wall! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #53213: A bit obscure maybe? I'd be truly astounded if anyone ever gets 10 on this one. It is easy to write impossibly difficult walls. The goal is to write ones where the response, after seeing the answers, is to say, "I should have seen that!". (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53155: Not as hard as it looks (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dgms @ #53194: Only sorted one line, but had spotted 2 links. Found 1 more link. Ashamed I didn't see the coconut link before lines were revealed. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dgms @ #53183: Excellent, but please correct 'Jeraboam' to Jeroboam. I wasted time looking for linke that required the misspelling. I didn't waste much time - it was still the first group I sorted, but I'd have had more than a minute to spare otherwise. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53202: Annoying. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dogma @ #53202: That was fairly hard. It was good, but I would have liked the red herring group to be a real one, instead of all the groups being based on different types of wordplay. The Adric group was hilariously contrived. (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53196: very good herrings (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53200: Beat me this time I am ashamed to say. loved Judy and Jim in Iris - I put Kate Winslet, if you have not seen it, check out Lovely, Still with Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn. forgot who Dermot Morgan was. Sill 5/10 for me full 5 for you (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dani @ #53201: Quite hard hahaha (2 years, 12 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53192: Good grid 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53188: Sum doesn't belong in the animal anagrams group. Mus is the Latin name of a genus of animals, not the common English name, as the others are. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53181: Haha, didn't know that Glasgow expression. (2 years, 12 months ago)

MovieBuff @ #53198: All your favourites in one basket. My friend Redgrave would like his extra star back if you don't mind :-) thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

Pookington @ #53175: Very nice grid indeed! I got a lovely 7 :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53170: Jolly nice, TY. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53179: That was fun, ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53183: Its fair enough to recycle, yours are good, ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Antony @ #53188: Nah, Mus is a genus ( i had to look that up) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53120: Correct the corrector, I was going to give you and extra star for having the chutzpah to post but it is the Corin Dam. (2 years, 12 months ago)

batbeeps @ #53196: An attempt at something a little less fiendish than my first attempt! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53166: Ok ideas, but really needs editing. Basque is definitely not a Spanish dialect. It's an unrelated language. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Avenger @ #3847: Great grid. Thank you. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Avenger @ #3790: Many group answers do not work. The answer "duke" for group 2 was marked incorrect - which is incorrect. The other responses were similarly affected. Please amend. (2 years, 12 months ago)

bloss @ #53170: Just outstanding. Snowball was too hard for me, but I was all over the Abba group! Yep, extra time would be great! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Simon @ #53192: not sure why its been posted three times (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53184: @batbeeps, great first grid. I only got two lines but I loved how you incorporated the ubiquitous Simpsons in such a sophisticated way. @St John, thanks for the mention. I was chuffed to get grid of the week ( even grid of the day first ) in a way I should feel embarrassed about 😄 I put it down to great coaching and encouragement! I thought I’d only do one or two grids. (2 years, 12 months ago)

nobby stylish @ #53176: your parameters aren't large enough. i put art and cracker and was incorrect. (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53170: I was happy with the nail and NY but the alternatives are clearer. I also liked the three Stephens as it introduced the plural aspect, but it also led me down a food related theme. Cannot remember what the horses replaced but as this looks like "into the valley..." this made it less obvious to me. Sill no idea who the Fraggle rock group are, thanks for the effort put in. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53181: Ahh, what a lovely grid. Got all the lines but couldn’t think of the snooker line connection because I just couldn’t think of that word in snooker, and I was thinking, ‘French yes, Glaswegian nae - what does that mean?’. Very clever, don’t give up posting! ( even if you do repeat yourself 😄 ) (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53139: as Fam says and if it's not there, check your spam folder (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53170: Went back and did again so I could offer feedback Jollycorpse. Images that you updated in the BF line work better as one old image I just thought of NY, and unfortunately I thought Rusty Nail was a band 😄. Fry worked just as well in the other line. Can’t remember what you replaced with the horses image but since that is a good example of that connection it might be an improvement. With some image grids you have the option of ‘give up’ which resolves the grid into its lines instantly. Don’t know if this is still an option for you as a setter but it’s appreciated as if you have no clue but still want to see the answers or at least have a hand it’s good to not have to wait so long. (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53184: I don't thik you need any advice. That was a super grid and super tough. Nice use of red herrings. Subject matter was way outside my comfort zone [means I knew none of it apart from the daddy. Well laid out annotations as well. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53139: @ Rhetoric Fan, go to your email and you will have a link to edit your grid. (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53184: @batbeeps, keep at it, you will become an addict before you know it. Take Fam as an example, Holds grid of the week and only submitted his/her first grid four weeks ago (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53183: Haha, well I haven’t done it before and it was very good! ( and informative ). I wonder if there was something in a recent grid that prompted you to put in the jeraboam line as just today I jotted down an idea for the same connection. Spooky 🎃 (2 years, 12 months ago)

batbeeps @ #53184: Long time puzzler, first time submitter. (Making these is harder than it looks!) (2 years, 12 months ago)

St John @ #53183: Just completed this and when I played it to check, realised I had submitted this grid or one very similar about 18 months ago. Might have finally run out of ideas after 600 grids or so (2 years, 12 months ago)

Rhetoric Fan @ #53139: Thank you both for the comments. Hey, Hypatia--is there a way to edit my puzzle now that it's posted? (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53162: Having trawled through many references, I have found out that HR Pufnstuff was only broadcast in England on the London Weekend ITV channel. It did not reach the grim north of Yorkshire Television. Therefore I am not losing my memory. I feel better for that. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Freddgar @ #53167: Nice and easy Liked the spread and red herring 10s all round Thanks for posting (2 years, 12 months ago)

Pookington @ #53167: Nice and easy :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Freeway @ #53170: Very happy with 4/10 thanks for the smiles (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53167: OK, I checked out your herring a few times [just to make sure mind] I like the tickertape reward (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53170: Thanks for posting this. It works really well but I just couldn’t get it. Had some of the individual clues but really hard to figure them AND put them into groups. Bravo! (2 years, 12 months ago)

The Waiter @ #53162: Kpot and Fam -you are making me feel really old :-) (2 years, 12 months ago)

The Waiter @ #53166: Good one, really well planned. Enjoyed it and learnt from it as well! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53162: Checked it out and it means absolutely nothing to me :) Perhaps it was out a little earlier than the Banana Splits as I remember them fondly. (2 years, 12 months ago)

bigz @ #52968: Change group is really out there Rest was sensible (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #52957: I was curious about the response by bigz, then baffled when I did the puzzle. Jessica, Who Framed Roger etc, Darius world record holder and was stolen [was in the news, White, Alice in Wonder and Fiver from Watership. Sorry if I have spoiled your puzzle itsbrohan (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53163: Ahh, thanks :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53162: I checked it out as suggested, thinking my memory was failing. I have never seen or heard of it, but it seems it was very popular in the US. Lots of law suits and a young Marty Wilde gone to make it big after Oliver! thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

The Waiter @ #53162: Puf def was a UK show and part of the Sat morning routine in the early 70s. There was also a feature film released as well. If you check it out on YouTube it might jog your memory. (2 years, 12 months ago)

bigz @ #52957: well known in what parallel universe (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53163: IT IS CONSIDERED "SHOUTING" IN E MAILS, LETTERS ETC. ALSO THEY ARE NOT AS EASY TO READ, E.G. THINK OF ROAD S\AND MOTORWAY SIGNS, LOWER SACE LETTERS ARE USED AS THE EYE AND BRAIN FIND THE SHAPES MORE RECOGNISABLE, Other than that no problem - polite reply, I hope this answer's your question (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53163: Ahh, thanks :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53162: Yeah, I don’t know if Puf made it to the UK. I watched Bingo and co a lot but don’t think I could have told you any of their names. (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53163: It is considered "shouting" in emails letters etc. Also they are not as easy to read e.g. think of road and motorway signs, lower case letters are used as the eye and brain find the shapes more recognisable. Other than that no problem (2 years, 12 months ago)

The Waiter @ #53162: Thanks for the suggestions. Have amended the grid accordingly. Puf and friends is a bit of a cult classic. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53163: @kpot, genuine and polite enquiry, what’s wrong with capitals? I don’t do it myself but don’t see any problem with it? (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53166: that was real hard thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #53143: That was very enjoyably sneaky. To weave such an obscure reference through it so thoroughly was excellent. (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53165: very happy with that, and myself. took a while, and a number of combinations be fore I saw what was going on. should not have watched da vinci code [x] as that through me. very well done thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53166: Yep, you had me going round in circles there! (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53164: oh, and again, please not all uppercase letters, thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53164: Not good, more than one solution for example when you type in anagram on google or bing the first image comes up is "Listen". Venus anagram = Nevus -a nonspecific medical term for a visible, circumscribed, chronic lesion of the skin or mucosa. again think what a player might enter as an answer. as you did not accept synonyms on your previous grid, I typed in "land" as an answer - wrong it was "ground". please keep playing but take care. thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

Pookington @ #33792: This one was fun! :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53163: tough request on titan, synonyms not accepted and a polite request, do not use all upper case thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53162: very good, bingo brings back memories, never heard of puf. possibly extend answers on open line? (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53159: very good, I was well beaten (2 years, 12 months ago)

kpot @ #53156: got there in the end, lots of versions. wondered why a beer was in there. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53162: Quite good but Frustrating. First two groups v. easy, but last two impossible. One kids TV show I've never heard of and one I only just remember- I just couldn't sort then out. Also Open isn't a synonym for 'open by force'. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53149: @ haha Freeway, you’ve COMPLETELY changed it, no need for that :) , but now that you have, I can’t see Ask ‘Arry 😄 ( funnily enough I’m switching between this site and FP3 at the moment - probably easy to figure with a bit of research, only been following for a few years ).

Fam @ #53154: Nice. Some nice new groups in there. Ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53146: Midge, I guess some of them would appeal to an older group. Little red rooster-Rolling Stones, Rooster Cogburn-John Wayne movie etc (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53150: Stand corrected, there's both! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53150: hi, its Set, liked the clamp too. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53152: Quinceañera? Tennis points? (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53150: Managed to resolve this with only truly knowing one connection. Liked the clamp line. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53151: Made sense, but impossible. Found two groups saw another link after the wall revealed the lines. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53149: I was going to ask about that Weeble, as I’d seen sick stees, but it’s just the beginning. Wantstead Heath is a stretch :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53145: Yes it was! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53147: Hi Weeble, there are people far more experienced on here than me but my feedback on this is that it’s a sound grid that works well. I would allow synonyms for one of the lines ( unless it was just that I mistyped it ). And I was glad that you allowed ‘different sounds’ as a more general description for another. Some people seem to care whether their connection is accepted though it really doesn’t bother me. Finally, the same advice that I was given when I started a few weeks ago - the hardest part is coming up with original ideas. It’s hard when so many grids have been constructed but recurring themes are NATO phonetic alphabet, cluedo, dances and Hitchcock movies. It’s inevitable but don’t stress too much as there will be new people joining who haven’t seen them. You’ll get ideas as you come along. Have fun! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Freeway @ #53147: good (2 years, 12 months ago)

paul @ #53145: Ah, a walk down memory lane. Very nice. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Weeble @ #53149: Liked them all, but struggled with the numbers group being all numbers, as in the whole clue? (2 years, 12 months ago)

Pookington @ #39823: I think, in our own unique way, we're all CEO of Apple. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53130: Good grid. Took ages to get the Dung group (my last group) link. Couldn't see anything except Dungeon. Kicking myself once I realised. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Weeble @ #33026: Lovely stuff (2 years, 12 months ago)

Weeble @ #15242: I liked this one (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53138: Ahh, what a shame there had to be a video game based line in there, the other ones went well together and I know nothing of video games. I have to concede that the words fit in well with the rest of the grid though and serve to mislead. Wd. Ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dgms @ #53135: A good grid. I only got 7, as I've only heard of one thing from the Earth group, but I was very pleased with myself for spotting/sorting the John Peel group, when I know nothing about the link, apart from what pops up on the news every year. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Weeble @ #53147: Any feedback on this grid would be helpful. It’s my first one. Just trying to get into it. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53138: Got 7/10. Only sorted the last two groups because Clawgrip, Tryclyde Mouser, and Birdo all contain the names of rivers - Claw, Ouse,Clyde and Bird (3 British, one in Manitoba) - never played any Mario Bros. Maybe I'll give myself 10/10 (2 years, 12 months ago)

Weeble @ #53129: Nice grid. Really got me thinking (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53142: Great. Nearly gave up. Saw the Cally link first, but too many possibles, so had to leave it till last. The Tyne group helped as a 'way in' to the wall - would have been impossible for me otherwise. Thanks. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53146: V.good. Solved it after one refresh. Saw all four links quickly, but never heard of blithering -----, little red -------,Mud---, or -------cogburn, so it was tricky. (2 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #53070: Admire the ambition of a minimal wall like this. Unfortunately, I think the droids category delves too deeply into lesser-known info to be calibrated for a general audience, the dice are all a bit the same, and squares on a chessboard feels much too loose to land as a cohesive category. Something like types of paper, bingo ball possibilities, or stuff that makes a word (B4) feel like they could help the concept sing. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53137: Not that I would have got this anyway, but just to mention that this won’t work as a grid with three MacDonalds all spelt the same way ( if you try it out yourself you’ll probably see why ). (2 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #52971: Tricky having the false color group and the not-quite-right fruit group, nicely done. (2 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #52920: Nice red herring with Booby---helps to recognize it's real category first. Funny enough, I managed to successfully solve despite having the wrong connection---best I could think of was animals at the end for gangLION and ballaRAT, but I think the word "ending" got me the points. Appreciated the leniency, but might be worth refining to require some form of "prep" in the answer! :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #52884: Nice overlap for the water category with Who, and the shift of meaning for POOL between categories is a nice touch. Didn't get the HAPTIC category, but seems legit. Also didn't get the ZODIAC category, and that one is actually especially tough---I'm not entirely sure how gettable it is. With the letters being internal rather than on the ends, and not particularly striking letters on their own, it may be a little too loose/hidden for me, personally. I'm also not sure what ZODIAC itself is meant to contain, is that just IA rather than a traditional intelligence agency? (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53109: Yay, I got grid of the day! 😀 Thanks for the nice comments. Just goes to show that if you make it up more or less on the spot and don’t try to make it devious it’s actually more popular. Thank you! ( how sad is my life that this has actually made me quite happy 😄 ) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Malcontent @ #53118: Sorry that was meant to be a message to Midge, but I typed the name in the name box, instead of the text box. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53118: Really good. It was impossible to select the groups but I saw the links straight after I failed to solve the wall. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53118: @Kruptos J Tried, but ran out of characters. Actually thought it had let me, but Y disappeared again after submitting it (2 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #53108: Very interesting idea for a wall—at first, I thought you were a madman, but I gradually got the direction and appreciate trying something more complex. Since each of these are more like a Round 1 connection rather than a Round 3 group, though, very tough to try and decipher them for groups in the timeframe. A few specific thoughts, meant constructively, hope that’s okay! I’m guessing the inclusion of Germany in the Atlas clue was meant as a hint for the category, but it ends up making that clue not as direct a match for its category like the others, I think, if that makes sense. The golf clue gets the point across, but “negative” feels slightly imprecise as a reference to low scores. The “every man” clue may be less pinned than the others in its category—if intentional, no worries, but if not, maybe another specific proper name like the other three would be a slightly tighter set. And in the colors, the puzzler in me always wants the set to consistently cross between words—RED is a bit looser than the others both for being such a short word/fragment to miss, and because it doesn’t bridge. My focus on the tightness and directness of the groups mostly comes from the more complex clues, to make sure everything fits together precisely given the extra layer of solving. Out of curiosity, by the way, were golf, polo, and India an intentional red herring category for the NATO alphabet? Devious, if so, I couldn’t imagine that wasn’t one of the groups! (2 years, 12 months ago)

NeekyBey @ #53120: Felt a bit hard done on happy places. Got the connection between the first 3 but D&P is a bit specific haha! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53112: Good, but the logic in the Gorgon line was too tenuous. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53107: Dane really put me off - I thought it was there for a reason - please correct. I probably wouldn't have got anywhere anyway - never heard of half the Nancy Drew group or Hermes Pan and wasn't sure about Martha Graham. Saw all the links quite quickly, just couldn't sort the lines. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53107: Doh! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53110: Good. Straightforward apart from the two groups that were too similar/ felt like overlaps. (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53109: Thanks for the grid, I liked the theme! (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Thanks Jmelb. Like I say, I was actually trying to make them trickier as initially I thought both topics would be easy to guess. I had easier examples but I swapped them out 😄 ( bnn, ppl, grp - maybe they only seem obvious to the setter ). (2 years, 12 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #53107: Tough grid, got nowhere with it, knew a few groups but couldn't put them together. Five stars for Kinsey Millhone! Thanks. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jmelb @ #53109: Quick but good, WD, TY (2 years, 12 months ago)

Jane @ #53108: Really fun, thanks! I solved the wall but missed one of the connections; my knowledge of non-UK VW models needs some work! (2 years, 12 months ago)

barry womble @ #53084: Great grid. Thanks for making the effort. Keep them coming. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Thanks Barry. It’s so difficult as when you’re setting a grid like this the clues seem too obvious so you try to make it more difficult. It was only looking back on it I realised it was fairly tricky. I’ve changed a couple of the titles so they stand out more. How about the short ones, could you see them straight away?

Fam @ #53090: It takes all my resolve not to mark down when a grid contains blimmin’ ‘vg’s. Ends up throwing my whole logic as I struggle for connections. Managed one line. Ty nonetheless. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Pookington @ #33844: Ohhh, not THAT Carrie! You got me! Well done! :) (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53099: The ‘b’ and ‘n’ groups seem fairly strong even though I couldn’t work them all out in time, but the other connections seem a bit weak or too far removed ( for me at least ). Thanks for posting. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53101: Yeah, like this style for a change. Didn’t know Mustang connection. Ty. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Pookington @ #53061: Very fun grid! I got all the lines with five seconds to spare, but was only able to identify three of the connections - the "hardtack" line refers to a subject about which I know nothing. So, I got 7/10, and was very pleased with that. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Kruptos J @ #53058: Liked these groups, ty (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53087: Families and formula one, dances and cocktails, presidents and prime ministers. Sheesh. New ideas, anyone? (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #42675: Nice grid, thanks. But can we make a rule of no more dances and cocktails? Getting very samey. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Dark Knight @ #53067: Nice grid with nice ideas, but you probably already know that the puns are awful. Ruined an otherwise good puzzle. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53084: Good ideas. Would be ok if it all made logical sense.The Ashes group made no sense - Wimbledon and Ashes don't wear white - too far removed from the clues to work. O O O was a big stretch to go in a group where all the other members could be followed by the link word. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Fam @ #53082: Thanks St John. I checked and it had gone to the spam folder though I don’t know why as previous ones had gone to the main folder. (2 years, 12 months ago)

JoeySalads99 @ #53084: Unbelievably bad. Clues are incoherent and the creator should be ashamed of himself. (2 years, 12 months ago)

JayDee @ #53084: Clever, very good, well thought-out. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Ant @ #53061: Very good. Thank you (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53067: Nice and easy except for the not homophones group. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53064: Nice - fairly easy. Two very samey groups made it harder. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53057: Got ten but by pure luck. Saw all the links quickly. Sorting the Eileen-Charming group from the Congo-Buster group was tricky as I'd not heard of half of four things in the two groups. Trickier because two charmings went into the same group, and I'd tried to avoid that. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53061: Great. Really tricky. Got the mongrel royal group, gave up when I could see two more groups but only three of one and two of another. Restarted five mins later, solved it in 1.50 and got all the links. Guessed the Hardtack link, because of Hardtack - had no idea about the other clues for til I checked. (2 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #53004: Great ideas. Couldn't see the grouse group link so couldn't sort it from the crane group, but once the wall resolved I saw the grouse link straight away. Unfortunately swan and goose can be swapped between their two groups, so it doesn't work like a wall on the show. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #53010: Good, but 'Overwatch'? (3 years ago)

Midge @ #53012: Ok, but needs editing. The brand is Green & Black's. Missing the apostrophe s off the end had me thinking it was a red herring (I've also never heard of two of the other brands). The neckline group didn't accept neckline as the link. The organs of the body group didn't accept body parts. (3 years ago)

Hannah @ #52997: Taking back Jonathan reference - I should have doubled checked, my bad - you can now enter smug mode! (3 years ago)

Hannah @ #52997: I am keeping Dillon, as it was done purposely. I looked in my dry store and no surprise all out of veronica, nevertheless grid altered so it works. It is really annoying to find misspellings, " Jonathan as 'Johnathon " when in reality it is neither but - Jonathon, infuriating isn't it? (3 years ago)

Miss Slink @ #53013: Really good! Nice mix of topics. Especially liked the backwards animals. (3 years ago)

147 @ #53005: You should accept Apostles as well as Disciples (3 years ago)

Miss Slink @ #53012: A few clanging mistakes here: Green & Black should have a possessive "'s" on the end, and they're primarily known for their chocolate rather than their (much smaller) ice cream range. Walls should also have an apostrophe. Also, "straight across" is generally known as a "slash" neckline. There's some nice ideas in this wall, and I like the "_eye" group, but I'm baffled as to why this was rated 5 out of 5 when there are so many errors. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52997: Annoying. I tried for ages to get the misspelling of Jonathan as 'Johnathon' to reveal something, in the same way as the misspelling of Dylan as 'Dillon' is what made that fit into the herbs group. Veronica is herb, so Veronica Lake and Basil Rathbone could be swapped over. (3 years ago)

St John @ #53013: nice and easy [although thought seventeen did not know others] ty (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52946: Thank you St John! You’re welcome to Dylon Glegs. Long may it live on. May it become as ubiquitous as racecar 😄 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52946: Thanks @Mister Tom, helpful feedback. You’re right, there were no crossovers but my idea being with this format that if you can find a way in with one clue you can race around to find the others that fit just for fun. As with all grids, for some this will be too easy and for others just pure nonsense. I have to put my hand up, I had to google ISO 8601 to see what you were talking about. Duly noted. I thought originally you might be referring to people as d***s 😄 (3 years ago)

St John @ #52946: As you say "marmite" ugh bovril man me, I actuall saw the O clue late in but got it and it made me smile. Was going to [may well still] use the Dylon Glegs [brill one I thought] in another aspect. (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #53007: please add explorers to South Pole group answers (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #53008: nice. Please add Zodiac as an acceptable answer (3 years ago)

Fam @ #53010: Liked this one. Quite proud of seeing enchilada first and working back from there. Ty. (3 years ago)

St John @ #53010: Not bad, got two lines ty (3 years ago)

Fam @ #53009: Liked the Dark line ( even though I didn’t get it, it was original to me ). Breaking works ok in its line as it’s an obvious clue, but I didn’t see the It line because of the variety of forms. Some people like that though as it makes it a bit harder. Ty. (3 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #52946: Thanks for setting. It's not the first of its type. I quite like the offbeat puzzly ones (and set them) but feel this lacks what all grids need- crossovers. ( maybe they were there and i just missed them, i dunno). Ultimately quite straightforward without them. Also please use ISO 8601 when writing d***s :-) (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #53008: Surprised myself with 7. Very nice grid indeed! :) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #53006: 😄 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52946: Just goes to show that some grids are like marmite. It’s a work in progress and all comments appreciated ( not least because it at least shows you that people are trying them as within a day you’re off the page ). I changed the O clue @Nighteyes. Thanks all. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #53006: Easy but a nice change. Ty. [ those few odd years must have made a difference St John, I’d heard of all of them :) ] (3 years ago)

Fam @ #53004: You could change one of them to parrot ( or a less obvious one if you could think of one ). I thought of goose but that would be interchangeable with swan. (3 years ago)

St John @ #53006: Easy to solve the wall but I have only heard of two, ty (3 years ago)

Hampton @ #52914: Good grid. Ty. (3 years ago)

Hannah @ #52997: A case of woods and trees (3 years ago)

Hannah @ #53001: this one a bit easier (3 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #52973: Thanks ;-) it probably needed a group that wasn't a word prefix or suffix one (other than the false trails). Once you see the potential for herring though it is hard to unsee. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52997: Grrr, kind of irritating as I saw the herbs and also numerous bodies of water so thought the whole grid was going that way. Didn’t get beyond one line therefore. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #34635: This is really good. First three fell into place intuitively and the last one by default. Nice variation on a typical grid. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52967: Started this one expecting a score of zero, but ended up getting 7/10. I got the groups right, but incorrectly identified the Kardashians one. Awesome grid! :) (3 years ago)

d @ #52792: I think medical procedures is a fair answer for that category, but great grid all the same (3 years ago)

d @ #52967: Same situation for me, I got thrown off by thinking k was a baseball strikeout and I noticed the i group but didn't realize current fit until it was too late. (3 years ago)

Moondog @ #52973: 0/10. You destroyed me! I might on a good day have got two groups but the others although obvious when you see the answers would have beaten me on my very best day. In the very best tradition of the original and I tip my hat to you for a supremely difficult (but not unsolvable) quiz. (3 years ago)

paul @ #52942: Very nice. And I like that even though I didn't see the connection in the last group, it accepted any word with an A as correct!! (3 years ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52802: Nice grid, Thanks for posting! As someone who begins constructing most of my grids with a 'precedes' or 'follows' group, and as others frequently say, in these groups, it's best to have the words all follow or precede. (3 years ago)

St John @ #52802: I believe the reference is the US version of a boy scout badge [lighting fires, tracking etc] which is sewn to the uniform. DC1234 is mixing both US and UK as can be seen by the flag next to his/her identifier. (3 years ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52784: Agree Deutchlander. I guess s/he was trying to add more males names but Marco ans Adolf were so un-English,so unlike the other 4. But not being a viewer of Minion stories knowing why he picked those 4 very English names was beyond me. (3 years ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52880: I got it all but only just in time because there were loads of crossovers! That`s the sign of a good grid! (3 years ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52897: Agree with Midge. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52903: Quite good. Having the Skew group and the Mottingham group in the same wall was a bit much. Solved the wall in a minute,would have guessed the Mottingham link if it hadn't seemed like a repetition. Knew two of that group, another rang a bell, but itseemed like a repeat so I looked for a word link instead. (3 years ago)

St John @ #52904: I like a challenge, and all info [as long as it is accurate] is valid. Therefore I marked this grid highly, but I should like to know if the Aran line [good herring btw] is sufficiently "gettable" ty (3 years ago)

Doc Filth @ #52853: I added a star for the Alan Partridge reference, but dropped one for not allowing "nationality" or "demonym" as an answer. (3 years ago)

Ade @ #52902: Excellent grid and great comments! Thanks all (3 years ago)

St John @ #52902: 🤣 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52902: @Stjohn. Haha, a few odd years it would seem. At least your first record wasn’t Black Lace :) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52903: 7/10 this time. Didn’t know Maryland etc. Good work on coming up with new ideas. (3 years ago)

St John @ #52902: @Fam, bask in your youth! The grid did need a little change anyway. I bought Go Wild as well and think I used it one of my grids not so very long ago. Embarrassed to admit, the first record I bought was "Billy Don't be a Hero" by Paper Lace (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52902: Ahh @Barrymore/Stjohn don’t make any amendments on account of my fuzzy brain :) I have pockets of knowledge floating around in a sea of confusion. Just a little bit too young/uncool for Newman. First record I bought was Bow Wow Wow - Go Wild in the Country. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52899: Good. The Office group was sneaky - never heard of any of those characters. Is it the US version? I couldn't sort that from the belief group, as I've never heard 'Creed' used as a person's name. I couldn't see what overlap there could be between the two groups (belief, and 'names') except for Faith. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52902: Took ages sorting the first group I spotted (Bisto), and had to restart, but got 10/10. Don't like the Bisto group - feels wrong they all go after different things that sound similar, but couldn't sort the other groups till I had that and the Merkin group out of the way. The wool link was obvious, but until there was only that and the witch group left, I couldn't sort it out. (3 years ago)

Barrymore @ #52902: thanks @Fam - have amended Pope, a bit surprised you did not know Newman, 1979 No1 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52902: 4/10 for me. Saw Whites and Bisto but didn’t see the link as I don’t know the other two. (3 years ago)

paul @ #52889: good. the book titles are also all movie titles. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52889: This is not as hard or as random as it first looks ( though admittedly I got the Cleopatra group then went blind ). One group is obscure but the other three are there if you slow down. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #33766: Thanks for highlighting these by Ducky @Pookington (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #33700: What I know about football could be written on the head of a pin, with enough room left over for the King James Bible and the complete works of Shakespeare. So I was pleasantly surprised to have recognised two of the songs. Ended up getting 4/10. Awesome grid! :) (3 years ago)

Krista Lonsdale @ #52868: Made me think! (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52633: The retronyms are half right, half nonsense. Your scrambled countries falls apart unless guessed out of desperation. Aneurysm is not spelled with an i. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52631: Very niche after the one obvious group. Not for a wide audeince. This is like putting up the names of 4 Presidents, then the marks of limos in which they rode, then the names of their chauffeurs, and then the names of the chauffeurs' dogs. This just carried on down irrelevant paths. (3 years ago)

RainyDays @ #52866: Missed my confetti cuz I typed "John" instead of "Johns" :( But good grid! (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52625: Why not just 16 clues for Deus ex Machina or some other concept? This brought back horrid memories of my Shakepeare professor at uni who was an etymologist and didn't care about storylines, the beauty of the speeches, or anything but niche trivia. This is academic narcissism taken to a new height to produce a new low. Horrid. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #38916: @Pookington. If you like this style of grid check out those by truecockney. An example so you can find them via the name is #19213 (3 years ago)

Woodie @ #52861: with thanks to LittleQuill for the inspiration (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #38916: The most fun grids are the ones where I'm racking my brains for the first two and a half minutes, then it all suddenly clicks into place and I end up solving it with just a few seconds left. This is one of the most fun grids. :) (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #52833: Nice. (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #52855: Very nice. Thanks. (3 years ago)

AndyP @ #52851: Quite a favourable grid and completed fairly quickly. A couple of my links didn't take (looks like you needed to write "religious leaders" out in full when maybe "relig" should have been enough), but that's first world problems. Cheers. (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #52846: Good grid. I only got one line right. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52845: This was definitely not easy ( for me! ) (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #52792: Well done. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52850: At last, one I can do at this time of the morning 😄 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52847: Maybe my brain hasn’t woken up yet but this seemed a bit tough and obscure. Got the English line but unaware of the connection. Comminuted line should have been doable but I didn’t know that term. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #12469: Brilliant ideas, but it doesn't work as a grid, as there are several directly swappable answers. Bow, or Axe could be swapped from their group, with Spear. Sword, from another group could also be swapped with Spear. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52849: Learnt something with wine, but looking up stop and cube they seemed a bit more obscure. (3 years ago)

JD @ #3500: You don't know much about music? (3 years ago)

JD @ #3483: sewing? (3 years ago)

Fio @ #28362: It was 👍 (remember to vaccinate your pets agaisnt Malaria) (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52839: Very nicely done! I completely failed to solve it, and kicked myself when I saw some of the answers. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52843: Solved in 27 seconds. Nice and easy. :) (3 years ago)

d @ #52761: damn not knowing widow and falling for the trump red herring stumped me. Missed all the groups but managed 3 connections. The verb category was a little vague for my taste (maybe if they were missing the same letter? that might be hard not to make obvious I suppose) but a good tough grid all the same. (3 years ago)

corrector @ #52833: Napoleon III (Charles Louis Napoléon Bonaparte; 20 April 1808 – 9 January 1873) was the first president of France (as Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte) from 1848 to 1852 (3 years ago)

Johnny @ #52756: This one very good. We like this one. This one is a good one. It is liked. (3 years ago)

sark @ #31483: The "name" category is inconsistent. "Second name" and "Pen name" are made up of two words, while "Nickname" and "Forename" are both single words. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52592: 2 of the 4 go beyond niche this was a total waste of 3 minutes of my life (3 years ago)

JadeSM @ #52835: The derrick line and group of animal lines are pretty obscure (which is fine I suppose, just difficult) and I would try to avoid mixing up if the associated word goes before or after the clue like they do in the other two lines (e.g. jehovah's witness vs witness protection and house arrest vs white house), just my two cents though this is all preference (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52584: The Saint Saens was not going to be guessed by many, including me. The other 3 took seconds to put together, No real red herrings. And, Nothappy apparently skipped music class that day. We can likely presume that Berlioz and Debussy also qualify as obscure. Thank you for indeed not including Pacman, Mario Bros, or comic book superheroes in any groups, as well as omitting soccer players. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52823: I thought it looked simple and some of it was. I loved the Doormouse group, and the mean Fortune group. I wasn't so impressed by th other two. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52822: Nice and straightforward, with enough red herrings to make it interesting. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52812: This one's good. I failed. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52810: Nice idea, but needs a lot of editing to work as a grid and to make any sense. Even the stage version of The Wizard of Oz is not by Lloyd Webber - though he collaborated in adapting it, and it seems odd to have Bonnie & Clyde in the grid twice. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52542: Put Clinton in the right group by chance. Got the 42 connections other than him until I saw he fit in. Nice grid. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52817: This was a really good one! It stumped me for a bit, then made me feel awfully clever when I got it! :) (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52528: Jeeves is a valet, not a butler. Hudson would have been the better choice. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52523: No H in bronco. Not a lung related nickname. (3 years ago)

Horatio @ #52730: All going well until the phonetic alphabet again! Please can we all agree to never make another grid ever again with this in it! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #19516: And another. Fun and satisfying format. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #19785: Another good one (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52777: @ Fam Vidi, Vici postulating, oh b....er, just seen shorthaired as well, so it is a tie. :-) (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52782: Excellent for British history nerds. I, unfortunately, am not a British history nerd, so I got a total score of zero. Learned a bunch of stuff, though. Very nice grid! :) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52778: Good grid and some new facts too. Ty. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52777: Yes to what Stjohn said please. Some stuff you can look up yourself ( like popcorn ), but I can’t see postulating either. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52759: I got 7, largely because what I know about wrestling can be written on the head of a pin with loads of room to spare. A very good grid indeed! :) (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52778: Should 'Maiss' be 'Meiss'? I wasn't sure which was phonetically more plausible for that group. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52764: This one was brutal! I got a great big fat zero! (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52773: Interesting, but three groups were basically overlapping, so without knowing in advance what you were after, it was impossible to sort the grid completely. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52778: Djibouti rolls of the tongue a lot easier than it's predecessor The French Territory of the Afars and the Issas (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52769: Very good, but two of the homophones aren't homophones. (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52778: I got five. Officially six, but I took a point away from myself because, while I got the countries, I didn't realise they were named after cities. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52777: solved the wall but expand answer please, especially shorthaired thank you (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52778: Good wall. Not too many red herrings. It all made sense and worked. Difficult to phrase the link for the Djibouti group, but it accepted my answer. (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52767: Almost finished the grid but there was no time to die. (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52767: Nice one (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52772: pretty good grid, I'm annoyed I didn't get them all. (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52774: a little too niche I'm afraid (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52771: Ever so slightly specialist. I do like playing the ‘press random buttons for 3 mins and see what you get’ game though and I got one line. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52770: I wait to see your next offering (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52776: Should have refreshed, knew them all but could not segregate in time. wd ty (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52770: I thought you’d done walls before Pookington. I only managed two lines but thought it was a good wall. I appreciate any walls that people put up as it takes time and I’ve only managed a few myself. Thanks. (3 years ago)

Aussie @ #52775: Should be easy for Aussies (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52770: That's an excellent wall for anyone let alone a beginner. Quite tough, plenty of crossovers and herrings, but doable with effort. Well done. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #52770: I thought very good, solved all, but didn't have a clue on the Exit line. It's an age thing, first album I bought was Buddy Holly and the Crickets! Nice spread of subjects A red herring or two, what more could anyone want ? More please, I enjoyed playing, you win 10-7 Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52730: nice and easy does it every time (3 years ago)

James @ #52770: Definitely. A highly accomplished first effort, I'd say (a very good wall regardless of the experience of the setter) (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52773: I got two! :( (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52774: I'm embarrassed to say I didn't get a single one! (3 years ago)

Pookington @ #52770: What do you reckon? Alright for a first wall? (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #52769: This is good. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #24661: This is pretty good if you like the more cryptic ones. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52769: Too difficult for me I’m afraid, and I’m usually such a fan of the homophones. (3 years ago)

Kruptos J @ #52769: One group galloped away with my time but enjoyed the others TY! (3 years ago)

Kruptos J @ #52751: Liked this, TY (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52757: Okay, but the misspelling 'seperate' made me waste time looking for hidden words and discarding the synonyms group for a while, and the Composer homophones don't all work as homophones. I loved the Salad fingers reference. (3 years ago)

Yerushalmi @ #52758: There isn't a unique solution. You can switch Corn with any of Tapioca, Bread, or Rice and it would still work. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52765: Good one. Very annoyed to have missed Treasure connection. Ty. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52751: I’m in awe of the people who get these. (3 years ago)

kitty @ #52764: Great grid, lots of red herrings made it a tough one! (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52760: Unsatisfying (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52759: Fairly easy, except for the Suplex group - I didn't get the link for that. Separating that group from the Bloody Mary group was a little tricky, but I just chose the ones I knew fitted, and they worked. I was lucky really that didn't know all four from the Suplex group could also gone in the Bloody Mary group. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52761: too difficult for my lack of knowledge, and therefore the trump red herring was wasted which is a shame ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52762: def fiendish. spoiler alert to anyone else playing this grid -- whatever you are thinking - forget it, you're wrong. very clever grid tho (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52760: pass (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52759: easy enough but I was left with a possible eight alcoholic beverages. got them though wd ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52758: very good, the rye line was a switch in themes which made it more difficult [but that's fair enough] and again the UK/US differences made it more difficult over here, well for me at least. wd ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52757: that young lad's granny's house must have had a big attic! Gave you five stars BUT deducted seven stars for the finger reference. day, dress, bowl first thing I saw and when informed "pap pap oops" grrrr. all said good grid ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52756: exercises at this ungodly hour, shudders. could not split the deck from the floor and "pass" o that line whatever it means. wd ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52755: top marks for hiding the obvious, made me chuckle wd ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52751: got 1 [point] 5* puzz. Now where is that cliff where the native peoples with head smashed in buffalo jump again? room for one more. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52757: Separate ( go on, quickly change it before anyone notices ) Good grid. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52750: ***** (3 years ago)

Hypatia @ #52758: Homophones were good; book titles didn't have a coherent enough link. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52758: Liked the Rain Dear line. The Rye line is too much of a push I think. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52760: This turns into a fiendish grid if you approach it like a typical grid. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52756: Well, maybe I’m in a bad mood but I just found this infuriating. Kept thinking it must be relatively easy and was trying to find a logical way in but got nowhere. Once I saw the resolved grid I realised that I never would have got it. Bravo. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52750: Really good connections and yet I only saw two before the grid was resolved. Ty. (3 years ago)

Emma Lambie @ #52720: The 4th item shouldn't be the connection, you need 4 it's that are connected. Misleading board imo. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52492: NO idea how you found there is more to lounge lizard than most of us would think. Well researched. Off to work, yes. Up to work, no, doesn't really work - no pun intended. (3 years ago)

Omegaman @ #52657: You could add occupation and crafts to your professions (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52491: avOcado is the correct spelling burEtor gave the one group away. Try something less obvious like park or ton. Wayne is also a correct solution to the surnames group. More than one Wayne Wilson out there. Wayne Rodgers was Trapper John on TV in MASH, Wayne Brady and Wayne Newton performers. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52486: no red herrings groups are easy to sort without any crossovers MacBeth is a play (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52482: super specific on the RuPaul group Positive personal qualities should have been acceptable (3 years ago)

Omegaman @ #52608: One group are all synonyms for applause but that isn’t included. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52473: very niche might be better to put two groups in with 2 unrelated groups and make 2 walls incorporating them (3 years ago)

RainyDays @ #52747: Awesome grid, :D (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52734: Whoops. Must have refreshed the page and it resubmitted my comment. But yes, it is a good and fun grid! ( it looks like you have your answers set up so that it must include the word ‘homophones’. You could widen the acceptable answers if you listed all the separate spellings for each answer ). (3 years ago)

Quasarsphere @ #23411: Got this with fifteen seconds left! Nice! :) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52734: Brilliant! Ty (3 years ago)

TRIFFIK @ #52729: TY - enjoyed that one! (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52727: Midge, you will find tubs of "Sweet Shop" in ANY British supermarket. Chocs, flowers, dinner, bubbly can be individually or together can be associated with any celebration [hint: - refers to red herring "celebrations"] I accepted "gif,pres,tok" as answers - used Valentine as a valid example. Good grief (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52729: Nice how the theme ties it all together. I only managed one line though on the basis that they all sounded whacky :) (3 years ago)

Woodie @ #52727: yes it does, try it with no hyphen (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52727: Ok but the Valentine's group could apply to any anniversary, birthday or celebration - there's nothing specific to romance or valentine's Day about any clues in the group. The chocolates group didn't accept chocolate, and I've never heard of 'sweet shop' as a brand name of prepacked sweets. (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #52727: pop-eye group did not accept popeye (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52720: 👍 Barry (3 years ago)

andrav @ #5847: nice grid with a good number of red herrings (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52725: Really good. Missed two lines - the Kawi line because I didn’t know all the references, but the Jet line I should have seen. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

JD @ #3298: Spag bol is traditionally made from wild boar or pork mince (sometimes mixed with beef mince) (3 years ago)

barry womble @ #52723: excellent wall. (3 years ago)

Woodie @ #52704: very good, you had me convinced [deliberately or not] of family members Lever Bros., Derry Girls, Beach Boys etc (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #52725: Good grid, one or two red herrings Only got two lines, but got all the connections 6 for me 10 for you Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #52704: Sligo is a town, not a city. A better answer would be Irish Counties Otherwise, nice grid. Thanks. (3 years ago)

James Poopnickel @ #52693: The show is "Grantchester" not "Granchester." This made is unnecessarily hard. Made me think I was looking for shows with missing letters (3 years ago)

Est289 @ #52714: Nice grid! Thank you! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52697: Thanks WVPuzzler. That’s tenuous to say the least. (3 years ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52697: ....and by Ne, I meant neon, not neodymium..... (3 years ago)

WVPuzzler @ #52697: Sure, for example, take the chemical symbol for cobalt, Co, and the symbol for Neodymium, Ne, put them together and you get the word 'cone'. Einsteinium, Es, and Gold, Au, gives you Esau. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52711: Fell for the sucker punch straight away, then saw the Mat line after that nothing. On the reveal palm face woe, but do not understand the karen line. ty (3 years ago)

Gill @ #52720: I feel that having the connector as part of the solution doesn't fit the expectation for a Puzzgrid. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52707: Laissez-les manger le brioche. Excellent intelligent grid 0/10 for me 5* for you ty (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52706: very good, and I like the touch of humour (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52705: good, did not get the Barking line tho (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52720: Could see a few of the clues but not enough to bring it together. Ty. (3 years ago)

Kruptos J @ #52720: Really liked it, look for the connector line and rest fall into place - WD, TY! (3 years ago)

Kruptos J @ #52696: Not tough for me, must have hit my sweet spot TY (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52715: I completely failed to get any groups, or spot the links. V good. I should have seen the panic group, but have never heard of the link for the paprika group, or of cobbers and bullets in reference to their group. The Hustler group was good, but I didn't see bit because, I think, to fit in that group, it should be HUSTLE not HUSTLER. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #52695: Food and Catholicism - too easy lol! (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #52693: very pleasant! ty (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52710: Good but I feel a bit cheated by the bloom line. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52715: A couple in the picnic line specific to Oz I think, and couldn’t get the paprika line as just not familiar. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52711: Very good. Kicked myself for not seeing the Woe connection as I’d used that poem to construct a clue for one of my grids. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52697: Thanks for trying to explain WVPuzzler, but something in my brain is not engaging because I don’t even know what you mean by that. How can a word be made of two symbols? I looked up Esau and it says elder son of Isaac and the other words are straightforward but the explanation is ‘2, two, chemical elements, symbol’. Apologies if I’m just being stupid but can you elaborate? Thanks (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52442: Ferns have not been trees for 250 million years (3 years ago)

bigz @ #52421: Misspelling elsewhere as well Obscure on too many levels Not good at all (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52696: Sorry Fam (3 years ago)

VCM @ #52692: Nice one (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52695: Hi Rik, I have tidied up the grid as you proposed. I did it the other way as one item could have fitted three lines and I wanted one line to be obvious to reduce the possible cross overs. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #52692: Nice n easy 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

Est289 @ #52670: Good grid! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52696: Not a single point scored. (3 years ago)

barry womble @ #52693: One of the best grids for a while. Thanks. (3 years ago)

Rik @ #52695: 6/10 but no idea how...very difficult. Not sure I like the takeaway group with some being types of takeaway (e.g. pizza) some being slang for brands (e.g. Kentucky) and some being individual orders you would get at types of takeaway. Just didn't feel like a clean group IMO! (3 years ago)

barry womble @ #52691: brilliant. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52697: ?? I have no idea what you mean by the fear line. (3 years ago)

stjohn @ #52693: Thank you Jane, but if you look closely I did say NOT Julie Andrews, Marni played Sister Sophia. I was fortunate with this inclusion because i thought her name ended with an 'e', when I checked and saw not, it happily opened up a whole new line (3 years ago)

Jane @ #52693: Very good. The inclusion of “Marni” was particularly clever; I spent ages on the Hitchcock films! (Though I’m pretty sure Julie Andrews did her own singing in the Sound of Music; Marni Nixon was in it, but she played her own part.) (3 years ago)

RainyDays @ #52684: END this maddneesss noooww!!!! JK lol Good one! (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52692: Nice grid, could I advise choosing the same upper/lower case for all your grids. Just a small point of interest, and in no way affects this grid, this is the gun associated with him but it was not his favourite. He was ordered to swap his favourite a .25 Beretta for the now iconic Walther PPK (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52691: I liked that [wanted to nit-pick but could not] 5* wd ty (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52684: Clever format :) Got the synonyms then another group by chance. Once the grid was resolved I could use the explanation for the synonyms to guide me for the rest. Very satisfying. Ty. (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52687: thanks for feedback, Rex maybe a common but not generic name but in this "specific" case Rex has 29 accredited appearances in movies [IMBd] . "Rubber and Crane is what you'd do"? are not smooching and drinking also things you'd do? Have amended the wood line, but as for vagueness? I think not. Having said that all opinions [other than facetious or personal insults etc] expressed are valid. Thank you (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52673: Nice. Unambiguous links, that still weren't too obvious to spot. Took me a while to see that Queen of Ethiopia fitted into the group it did, and I'd never have linked the Flex group without seeing them grouped together after I'd solved the other groups. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52684: Good. Funny. I picked out the first group without seeing the link, got the synonyms group second, , then separated my last two by accident. Still couldn't get the link for the first group, then when it was revealed, the two others I'd not known were obvious. I ended up with 7/10 without really solving it at all. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52686: Good. Pierce was a bit of a trick though. (3 years ago)

tillycrypt @ #52663: @ Rick B and @David and @Malcolm re spelling - wow same one three times and I could not see. thanks to all. plus Malcolm I said literary and I believe that holds well. [but could be wrong] (3 years ago)

Davesgud @ #52687: Rex is generic all others are specific Rubber and crane is what you'd do. Whereas drink and smooch are other names for neck Touch wood but rub the other three Wayyyy too vague to be fair (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52686: @Dogma - I see what you mean. I've now edited, but I feel it's more obscure. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52686: V. Good, but, at a push, it could be argued that tip and tine are swappable. Find something else to substitute for tip, then you can avoid confusion. (3 years ago)

Malcolm @ #52663: Ralph not ralf! plus didn't like that some of the sisters were fictional, some real. Not bad though (3 years ago)

David @ #52663: How many ways do you want to spell that chap's name? (3 years ago)

Dark Knight @ #52670: Nice grid, but please improve your answers. Did not accept “Occupations” for the jobs, and did not accept “Formula one” for F1 Also, why do you need to specify the sex of the tennis players? Surely “tennis players” is enough. (3 years ago)

David @ #52676: I did not know that about harmonicas. Thanks, fun grid. (3 years ago)

Malcolm @ #52676: Think the pairs one needs some work - coordinates can be more than two dimensional and aces could come in ones twos threes or fours (or more depending on the game you're playing). I did keep trying to put dragon balls into that category, but that's on me. (3 years ago)

Toferino @ #52645: Some infuriatingly devious crossovers. Nice grid. (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #52659: Hi @Rick B if I may... "cryptic" from early 17th century: from late Latin crypticus, from Greek kruptikos, from kruptos ‘hidden’. ergo, as all the answers were "hidden" within , this was the very epitome of cryptic.

nobby stylish @ #52632: your parameters for detective aren't wide enough and the lagoon isn't necessarily related to reef (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52656: Good grid. Just a little thing though - you gave the Geta line away by being the only words you capitalised. I got duped by Scooby doo though so still missed two lines :) (3 years ago)

Kit @ #52600: Nice grid! I got stuck looking for owls. Good diversion! (3 years ago)

Rik @ #52632: Okay grid but has some problems IMO. Lagoon and seabed are not necessarily associated with reef (I think), whereas they are all linked by sort of watery geography. 'Detective' didn't work for the detective category either. (3 years ago)

Kit @ #52656: Some good red herrings! I got the emperor clue simply by clicking on all the capitalized boxes so that could be made a bit tougher in future. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52654: Great, but Fait Accompli means the decision has already been made, rather than that there was no choice, so it's not a good fit with the other three phrases, which all mean the situation is an impasse, with no possible good outcome. That said, it's the only group I got (3 years ago)

scotts03 @ #52599: Excellent. Very well done. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52625: Not great, a couple of interesting ideas,but needs editing, to be valid, and needs more variety to be interesting. Two groups are two similar, need an encyclopedic knowledge of the play to differentiate them, and really to be a mindreader. In fact bthey could be separated into two different, equally valid (arguably slightly better)groups - characters who die in the play and those who don't. The other two groups are obvious to sort from each other, but impossible to find the right terminologies for the link. (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52635: Very good, but couldn't blackeyed Susan and Marguerite be swapped between groups, giving two valid solutions? (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52643: I’d say this was at least a hard. At the level I’m at ‘Mario’ seems reasonable, ‘Fox’ you might get if you were a fan, ‘Bit’ you’d get if you were aware of a few more terms than me. But ‘Cheer’ just seems a bit of a stretch. Do regular players get lines like Cheer? Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52576: Nice. Ideas were good,nice and easy except the O group. I only saw that connection once the grid was resolved. (3 years ago)

Midge @ #52597: Nice groups, but let down by too many swappable answers. Not a good grid. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #52597: Good categories/links, but it needs a lot of editing. There's one wrong/completely made up answer, and two pairs of answers that could be directly swapped between two groups, so it doesn't work like a real wall, with only one solution, and can't be solved in the time/number of lives. Frustrating because the it could have been really good. (3 years ago)

dogma @ #52597: Great ideas, and the two groups that work are fun to solve, but the grid doesn't work as a grid. Au, Fr, Be and Co, can all be swapped between the chemical symbol group and the internet country domain group, which means there are several valid solutions to the grid, when there should only be one. It would be almost impossible to stumble over the solution you've decided is the correct one, without being a mind-reader. Also, Ct isn't a chemical symbol for any element that actually exists (Centurium was a name proposed for element 100, but that was rejected in favour of Firmium). (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52577: Wonderful. Not too taxing but I do appreciate these kind of grids as they’re so much more enjoyable. Thank you! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52576: @Dagoba. That’s the beauty of these grids I guess. There'll be some connections that one person thinks ridiculously obscure and another person thinks obvious. The more grids I do the more techniques I become aware of so that’s another trick I’ll have to look out for ( though I still don’t think I would have got it ). The only line I got was the Castle one and that was only because I thought the words ‘looked’ like they went together, a cunning technique of mine :) (3 years ago)

aaww @ #52482: Good one. I typed C.U.N.T for the first category :D (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52576: @Fam. That's the line I almost solved in the time. There was a group in one grid I did a few days ago that was countries missing their first and last letters. I didn't solve that one, but I had it in my mind when I was trying this grid, and I saw the O group, just before the time ran out. (3 years ago)

St John @ #52213: In early 1967 Berry Gordy renamed "The Supremes" to "The Supremes featuring Diana Ross", in Autumn of the same year this was changed to Diana Ross and The Supremes and this remained until 1970. Therefore they were "officially" Diana Ross and The Supremes 1967-1970. Many notable music acts have changed their names just ask the Quarrymen.

Freddgar @ #52397: Very good grid, must've taken a while to create, good work. 10s all round. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52390: I think someone already mentioned should br tring not ring according to your solution. Not that that would have helped me. Scored nothing by holding onto Suez. This was tricky. I personally think that the connections like the one for the honey group are too obscure. (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #52398: Good grid, liked the red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52398: Good medium grid (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52395: 👍 ( sometimes it’s nice on the lines like the floyd ones to give the full answers, just for interest’s sake. I know two of them but not the others ). (3 years ago)

werdna @ #52395: Enjoyable! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52397: Novel grid Gorgon. I think it was on an episode of QI that they said that there were more words that broke the rule than those that obeyed it. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #42820: Very hard to interpret with just one picture. (3 years ago)

Theo @ #24111: Excellent grid (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52354: Was just about to say the same for Age group. Way too loose a connection to stand a chance of getting that. Rest of grid was good though. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52371: Catsup. That was new to me. Nip line would have been hard enough even without anagrams and the Lisa line was just too much of a leap. All in all too hard for me. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52356: Very good even though I scored zero 😄 (3 years ago)

Aetees @ #52383: Excellent. I didn't make much headway with the grid but it fits together beautifully once you know what to look for. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52379: 👍 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52383: Quite fun. I like these kind of grids. Thank you. (3 years ago)

dagoba @ #52382: Good wall, but frustrating and impossible for me. Great idea having ten or eleven things that looked like whodunnit or horror titles, and five that might be from Greek myths, but it totally confused me. The solutions were fun, even though I only got one group. (3 years ago)

dagoba @ #52382: It all makes sense, now I see it and it works properly as a grid, but two groups needed very specific knowledge, and some word puzzle clues were very long, so it was really hard to read them through and spot what was there within the time. Good work though. I liked the faked book titles. It just needs a quicker reader with sharper eyes than mine to solve it. (3 years ago)

haywood @ #52369: Nice grid. Sent me down the wrong path before I twigged and corrected. (3 years ago)

nobby stylish @ #52322: I enjoyed very much. thanks! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52342: Seven thirty/thirty seven What?? (3 years ago)

inoks @ #52326: not sure about that category with Iron in it. Otherwise a good grid I think! (3 years ago)

RSUD @ #52342: One is not a prime number (3 years ago)

LGG @ #52342: Doesn't work because there's more than one possible solution. FIVE and SEVEN can be swapped and still be correct. Also, the Roman numeral link is really tenuous. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52338: Cool. And there’s even one of the groups that I only know from playing puzzgrid! Lecter line was good. (3 years ago)

Simon @ #52282: @Dagoba thanks for the feedback (3 years ago)

Paul @ #52297: The USA clue is a bit misleading, as the whole of America is named after Vespucci. As much as people from the US like to think they are America, the people of South America would have something to say about it. (3 years ago)

Ro @ #52270: Nicely balanced grid (3 years ago)

Dogma @ #52270: Lovely ideas, fun and fairly straightforward to do, but the Gloucester group are all cathedral cities too, and Derby biscuits exist, so there is a possible swap with Lincoln between those two groups, which had me wasting thirty seconds or so trying out different valid solutions. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52282: Ok grid, but I didn't like the transport group. Car and bus are types of vehicle, air and rail are are modes of transport - unseal/decanal and broad would have been more logical to complete a set with Hairs and Trails. Strain and Interplanetary would have worked better as a group with scary and abuse. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52297: Bermuda isn't Caribbean. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52311: Liked it when this grid fell into place but the fur group fell in place by default and I don’t think it’s a very strong group. I still kind of like it though 😄 (3 years ago)

Ant @ #52286: I liked it a lot, although you should have held off publishing for a couple more months. Christmas should be ignored until after bonfire night in my book. Not that the supermarkets care. (3 years ago)

SeedyEm @ #52240: Good grid and enjoyable, but I don't think it's a unique solution since Lincoln and Jackson could have been switched... I think? Maybe switching Lincoln for Cleveland (which is both a US and English place-name, but neither a US capital nor an English cathedral city?) (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52168: Great. I'm ashamed I couldn't sort the Tick Tock group from the 7 group. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52181: Really good ideas, but I'm just not the right mind set for this one - I sort of saw what all the groups were, and sorted one group, but was totally lost with some of the cryptic clues, as I was thinking more of quiz/skill shows rather than game shows in general and th shows like Deal or No Deal didn't enter my head. (3 years ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #52155: A nice trip down memory lane, TY! (3 years ago)

Ant @ #52181: Interesting idea, but the groups were too similar, meaning that even if you're able to decipher all the show names (which is challenging enough for 3 minutes), trying to find the four groupings is arguably next to impossible. (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #52134: Very good! (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #52164: Very good! At first I was thinking "oh no, not more anagrams" but with 6 to choose from it became trickier! (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #52169: Nice grid. Liked the numbers being in different groups (3 years ago)

Hamburger @ #52164: Good one (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51879: Good overall. Would also like to see the solved anagrams. Can only get the 2 easy ones. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51877: Leave your apartment sometime. Leave your Iphone there. Take a walk. Sit at a bar, on a bench, in a cafe. Talk to humans. Your grids are getting more absurd as time goes on. And you had the balls to call someone else out about their lack of a life????? Mirror. Look at yourself in it and be afraid - very afraid. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51876: Aside from debating whether there were 12 or 13 Apostles, and being unaware of the pony reference, it was clever but needs pen and paper and about 15 minutes. You made a great puzzle but it doesn't work within the time frame. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51875: Before or after. Combo never good. Looks like a reach to fill in a last group every time. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51866: So stretched in places that it is warped (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51859: Very good, Macaroons. I am unfamiliar with most of these groups but appreciate a Wodehouse reference anytime. (3 years ago)

A Large Owl @ #52169: Tough but doable! I liked the dropped N group the best. (3 years ago)

Paul @ #52144: Need to add whiskey as a spelling (3 years ago)

Paul @ #52145: I also said collective noun. Otherwise good fun (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51847: Got the wall but had no clue on Superheroes. It was a pretty good effort overall. Nearly forgot Sid played bass and Johnny is a great option within two groups. Froze me for a bit. (3 years ago)

Paul @ #52171: Agreed on the plastics group, I never would have got that as film quotes in a million years. Enjoyed the Addams Family group though, was satisfying when I saw it (3 years ago)

Anastase @ #52170: Tough at first, but once I got one group, I just about managed to get the rest in time. Enjoyable grid. (3 years ago)

Manolis @ #28660: The whole thing with -son and season, reminds me of the bit with "what does y-e-s spell" and "what does e-y-e-s spell" (google it for a funny video) (3 years ago)

Anastase @ #52168: Good grid (3 years ago)

Mrsbusman @ #52145: Collective nouns needed for ‘groups’ . (3 years ago)

Manolis @ #98: Two of the connections are wrong. La is a note, but Me and Ray are homophones for notes (Mi, Re). It should be either all notes, or all homophones. And night before nurse is not a prefix, just a word that goes together with nurse. But night before mare creates indeed a new word. (3 years ago)

Sak @ #47364: One of my favorites so far. (3 years ago)

Mselle @ #52145: If you are going to use collective nouns as a category, please include collective nouns in the keywords. Otherwise a well made, medium difficulty grid with straightforward connections. (3 years ago)

Sak @ #48149: Vodka and Voda are both terms for water, in different ways. Vodka essentially is an endearing term for water, because it's alcohol. It's kind of hard to express in English properly. (3 years ago)

Sak @ #48198: Agree that Bud is incorrect; it simply means friend. Chap does, however, refer to males. (3 years ago)

nevin @ #52109: this is horrid (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52144: Great ideas, good fun, nice and logical. I know it's nit picking, but Rudolph the red nosed reindeer isn't a carol, it's just a Christmas song and while Teachers is a whisky, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam and Jamesons are whiskey.p (3 years ago)

Fam @ #25750: Oh my word this was so difficult. Even when separated out I couldn’t decide which group was which. Some interesting facts in this one even if you don’t resolve it. (3 years ago)

Katherine @ #52138: Very frustrated at not getting the Norwich group!! So close! Brunei can also be added in for multinationality. Good wall, thank you very much. (3 years ago)

Sak @ #48780: Spider-Man is not technically an Avenger. So Avengers wouldn't be an appropriate answer. Puzzle answer was correct. (3 years ago)

Paul @ #52104: Urgh, I got the over and under groups and then overthought it lol. SOMETHING THE TOFFEE??? Nice (3 years ago)

Sak @ #49081: "Take a Bow" isn't so much an audience reaction, as something you do thanks TO an audience reaction. "Networks" wasn't accepted as answer (no big deal, but worth learning from. Networks being TV channels.) Otherwise, as others have said; excellent puzzle. (3 years ago)

Observation @ #52131: 5/10 for me 5* for a bitoffun ty (3 years ago)

Observation @ #52141: I-Annoyer, annoyed me too, frustrating to untangle the possibilities, for that WELL DONE! ty Might have some issues re gill often used as a phrase but inaccurately. Pre decimal Scotland often served 1/5th of a gill as opposed to the mean spirited English which was 1/6th A gill was often used to mean a half pint whereas it is a quarter pint. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52139: Aaasargh. Too many red herrings. I ran out of time, and none of the really rude ones turned out to be right! That was a shame. Really good fun though, and I think it works properly as a wall/grid. (3 years ago)

St John @ #52124: I was/am concerned most players will take one look and switch off without giving it a chance. I am glad you both did, most wont but there you are (3 years ago)

Paul @ #51926: Enjoyed this one, although the Wild Stallions clue really gave away the Bill and Ted group a little too easily :) (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51808: plenty of miscues around the Alec Guiness films made this pretty tough to sort out. One of your most clever efforts. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52090: Great (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52132: Good apart from the Newton group. The telescope was patented about thirty years before Newton was born, calculus was used in ancient Greece, and was refined by Newton (and independently by Liebnitz) in the 17th century, and while he formulated the laws of motion, he didn't 'discover motion'.

The ladder one I just didn’t see and I didn’t think of the bee with hayfever as simply being literal. Thanks for putting me on to Lorna’s grids. She’s amazing and must have put so much time into constructing grids. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52124: Lovely. Very funny and fun. I was going to give up, because it looked as if it was all about sport, but then the Liverpool group caught my eye, and I realised that none of it was about sport, which was brilliant, and I solve it in under two minutes. Thank you! (3 years ago)

St John @ #52123: loved it and 7/10 for me. knew GS and guessed the others, EF? well I never [and strictly speaking, neither did EF] Although JH had the rep I did not know that [I did about the others and finally, BT was the originator of the Homer quote d'oh!. oh for a really good buff grid, thankyou J :-) oh ps, thought PE was homowatsit for a pub the Pig and Whistle lol (3 years ago)

Fam @ #33464: Calling Lorna fans - this was a trickier one for me but even with grid resolved I don’t know what Sub-Rung Perambulation or A Bee With Hayfever means. Any ideas? It’s bound to be a head on forehead moment once I see it. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52087: Excellent. I only sorted one group (Verona), and identified one other link after the time had run out (Iago). I ought to have recognised the Solinus quote, as I read that play at school, but had no idea. You do need to correct ,'houses' to 'households' and 'born' to 'both', though.

Dagoba @ #52083: V. Good. I only managed to sort out and identify two groups.

Dagoba @ #52066: Good ideas, and challenging, but it's a shame that at least four red herrings create pairs that can be swapped between groups.Nugget can be swapped with Tooth, Barrel with Letter. There's only supposed to be one workable solution to the grid, otherwise we have to be mind-readers to solve it, and rather than 'fiendish' the wall becomes 'insoluble'. I'd suggest editing this one. Put Letter in Barrel's place and Nugget in Tooth's place, then replace them in the 'double letter' group, with Utter and something that doesn't fit into the other groups. (3 years ago)

eBarnz @ #51978: Austen and Rousseau (in the Lost group) are philosophers and Hume and Locke (in the philosopher group) are characters from Lost, so there is not a unique correct solution to this grid. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #24486: 👍👍 Are you still on here Lorna? Or does anyone know? Great variety of grids and pitched perfectly. I often see the link but it’s a race against the clock. Thanks for posting so many. (3 years ago)

eBarnz @ #52028: Good puzz! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #24492: Hope some other people see these and they reach a new audience like they have with me 👍 (3 years ago)

them @ #52028: Nice grid. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #51975: Not a grid for me really. I don't watch 'reality' shows. I sorted two groups , one of those was accidental. Never heard of anyone from the Julian Smith group, and only heard of Tom Arnold from the group he's in. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #28362: You have put me on to a good thing St John (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52047: Thanks St John. I have managed to find her and now have a great library of grids to play and learn from. PS I spent a lot of time on this one looking for answers you’d managed to shoehorn into the text :) I thought scallion was a giveaway. (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52044: Excellent. Nice, logical and straightforward. (3 years ago)

I have crabs @ #52042: I saw Surskitbrah at a grocery store in Wentworth Point yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for TFT advice or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and pivoting into the comp I was already going for. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Nunus in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the Nunus and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any RNG infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each Nunu and put them into his lineup and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by whining about how bad his team comp was really loudly. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52047: Very good even though I got nowhere :) You adopt so many techniques I don’t know where to start. Another one to commit to memory ( along with Korma Rant which will remain my favourite ) Good job. (3 years ago)

Squid Lover @ #52042: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. (3 years ago)

Squid Hater @ #52042: Very good, 10/10, my wife left me (3 years ago)

Dagoba @ #52024: Enjoyable, but frustrating. I couldn't sort out my final two groups - the 'meringue' and man groups. They could have been sorted as a nationality group and a man group, by swapping Pavlova with German. I'd thought of meringue as a group, when I saw Swiss, French and Italian, but knew there are only three types of meringue, so tried to make a 'desserts' group with Pavlova, Swiss (roll) and got stuck again. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #52024: Good ideas, fun and fairly challenging to sort the groups. A pavlova is a dessert made using meringue, not a type of meringue. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #52039: I was thinking of you and Ducky, Bloss! (3 years ago)

dgms @ #52038: Nice. Great fun. I spotted three of the groups and solved the grid fairly quickly, but had no idea about the Reason group. I thought it might be dating apps. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #52040: Horrible grid. Very obscure/tricksy, but it did all make sense when the groups were revealed, and it worked with no possible swaps between groups. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51995: thanks dgms, will amend (3 years ago)

Fam @ #52002: Korma Rant 😩 🤦‍♀️ Saw this St John and simply had to give it a go. That’s the only line I got until the grid was resolved, despite analysing The Kylling of Sister George 😄 You do have some novel ideas.

Tilly @ #51995: 7/10 for me, thought it was reference to Raintree County, plus I always associated Marina with Morris but they became the same I guess later. we were Oxford not Cambridge people. ps age is just being number :-) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51996: Beginning to see a bit of an overlap in the interests of quizzers :) One line for me. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51989: Jesus, *their strengths. Couldn’t leave that howler lying there! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51995: Yes! Satisfyingly happy with that 😀 Got two groups on merit, then the Clift one from just one clue from watching old films with my mum, and the last one from some inspired guesswork from childhood memories. Nice grid. Thank you. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51995: ... and mine! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51913: Still works for me. It’s just harder to see initially. The connection is ‘words associated with’ or ‘words that come before or after’ and it helps as it allows more flexibility on the simpler word association grids 🙂 (3 years ago)

Freddgar @ #51995: Very good grid, a nice mix of subjects, a red herring or two Got it fairly quickly, shows my age 😊 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51989: Everyone has there strengths and this wasn’t mine. One line then lost. (3 years ago)

Daniel @ #51913: These words don't follow the correct form of this game. If you are adding a word to all of them, they need to all precede or all follow the word, not be a mix. So Class Act, Class Struggle, Class Clown, Class First (but of course this is wrong) Night Club, Golf Club, School Club, Sandwich Club (again, this last is backwards) and so on. (3 years ago)

AndyP @ #51942: Very clever, but quite easy once it was noticed. Thanks (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51966: Neat little grid. I would just say that if you replaced Final and Grand with other clues it would be more challenging ( I can think of at least two for each ). (3 years ago)

David @ #51755: Fun grid, thanks. (3 years ago)

Ersatz @ #51958: Great puzzle! Loved the red herrings. I would suggest allowing “food” for the chicken category since I feel like 3 of them are broad enough that chicken isn’t really associated with them (3 years ago)

haywood @ #51966: Excellent grid, with brilliant crossovers and red herrings, but slightly ruined by your making g*** s*** one word in your list of acceptable answers.

Fam @ #51960: 👍 nice to have a different grid. Some known and some educated guessing. Cherry group stumped me though. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51941: Disagree with the mind reading comment and thumbs down. Two groups were easy, a third possible and the fourth by process of elimination ( Navy group would have been easier for me with say neon or khaki in it but maybe you didn’t want it to be that obvious ). Not a bad grid and nice to move away from clues where they are all preceded or followed by the same word. I’ve tried constructing a couple of grids and it’s not easy. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51939: Tend to agree. Even when the groups are separated out the connections are hard to see as some of the examples are too obscure ( for me anyway ). For the Coraline group you’d need to be a superfan. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #36651: What a brilliant and fun grid. Thanks for the effort you put in to making this ( if you still read comments ). Music ones I shy away from but this is much more accessible. Perfect 👍 (3 years ago)

Nicky @ #51924: Papa ? Not sure ….. (3 years ago)

Lucy b @ #51655: Ok, I struggled with that. Usually love your grids pookman but not sure I agree with some of those answers. Still love you though! (´ε｀ ) (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51933: fun n easy ty (3 years ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #51916: Lovely stuff, felt a bit weather-beaten for a while but found the sunshine in the end. 5* (3 years ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #51926: Fantastic grid, great mix and crossovers. Took me a while looking at the last group to get the link. Raaaa. Top notch 5* (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51627: Fire triangle? Barack with 3 last names - inconsistent. The Earhart one is way way too niche. This is just not good. (3 years ago)

Risk @ #51220: Clever red herrings (3 years ago)

Risk @ #51780: Very fun grid (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51618: Royal Staff Members is pretty loose. Mixed titles as to origin and relationship. Four in a row of your grids is enough for one lifetime. I advise remedal training because they have been pretty lame. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51616: Switch grey and yellow and you legitimize ths grid. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51616: Grey fever (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51611: Agree that outfits is more than a stretch. What the H is a grudge outfit? Did you mean grunge?? (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51608: perhaps it's what Benedict Cumberbatch wears at formal events in Cumberland ??? (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51926: 5* - I suddenly remembered wild Stallions but too late. I have also given out one 🏆 for strangulated homowotsits but this deserves one also. enjoyed myself ty (3 years ago)

St John @ #51920: Excellent, not too taxing having got the usual suspects out of the way ty (3 years ago)

St John @ #51924: really enjoyed trying to unravel that, so much so I omitted to see the obvious line to late on in. ty (3 years ago)

Risk @ #51810: excellent, hard to complete the grid, but the connections are very gettable (3 years ago)

St John @ #51916: @Jmelb - you taken a rest or have I not recognised any of your "family" (3 years ago)

St John @ #51911: @Dances - sorted, thanks (3 years ago)

Ella @ #51849: Nice grid, ty (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51876: @ Fam, thanks, sorry John as well - oh well! back to the drawing board and a large tincture. :-) (3 years ago)

Gridlington @ #51916: Nice one, thank you! (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51916: Your usual good quality, thanks Tilly! (3 years ago)

Dances with Ferrets @ #51911: The DJ's name is actually Otzi (or more actually Ötzi), not Otiz. (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51882: very nicely done (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51876: @Tilly I think you could swap the 2 and 7 of one group with the 5 and 4 of another (3 years ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #2622: having synonyms as the answer is too vague, it should be a word relating to the group (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51876: had another look and where the math functions are, there is only one viable solution (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51884: OMG - I thought I could strangle a homowotsit, but.....you🏆 (3 years ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #29229: great (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51876: I wondered if that might be the case but I never got that far :) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51916: Nice ty (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51876: @John - are there? Must confess I did not think so given that four had = signs and all the others + signs. I shall take another look. Thank you for your feed back (3 years ago)

Doc Filth @ #51885: I kept trying to put Fielding in the same group as Tate etc. although with your username I assume you'd predicted that. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #49740: God I went round in circles with this. All because of preserve! (3 years ago)

John @ #51876: I enjoyed this but there are a few ways of doing it with the numbers given. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51911: Those Brian names are evergreen! TY (3 years ago)

Tom @ #51657: Moves cleverly from the seemingly easy to the genuinely fiendish (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51911: Haha, very clever, and Ridley Scott still gets a mention :) I could see some of the connections but not enough to make the groups. I need to be on a team! (3 years ago)

St John @ #51879: Te Moo! but good (3 years ago)

Feza @ #51078: White pizza? Never heard of it in Australia. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51876: I think it’s a great and challenging idea Tilly. The fiendishness of it is that you pretty much need to know the answer to every single clue before you can tackle the maths part. Most grids allow for some minor gaps in knowledge. I wonder if there’s a way of tweaking it. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #74: Fun easy one from the early years. I wonder how many of the original posters and players are still on here. (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51876: @barry - to be honest, although I enjoyed constructing this, I do not believe that extending the time allocated to 5 or even 10 minutes would help [even if I knew how or was able to]. So although it fits the criteria it is not a feasible wall for this site. (3 years ago)

barry womble @ #51876: more time? (3 years ago)

Neonage @ #51909: I love it:) (3 years ago)

St John @ #51887: P.S @ Fam - I love to befuddle, lol (3 years ago)

St John @ #51887: thanks @Fam,@ Jmelb and @barry, I put in Blade as the obvious, [@Nighteyes, I do not think one can claim Ridley Scott to be "hopelessly obscure" in himself] however when I was researching him I found those little nuggets [each in their own way reasonably well known] and thought it would be fun to share. It is a beautiful morning here and I am happy... :-) (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51871: Nice ty (3 years ago)

St John @ #51908: I liked that very much (3 years ago)

barry womble @ #51887: Ridley Scott get-able by a process of elimination - nice original grid, thanks. (3 years ago)

St John @ #51901: nearly got the songs [was 1984 a Eurythmics red herring?] (3 years ago)

Fam @ #50562: Liked this older one of yours enjolras. Crafty red herrings and you’re so good at hiding things! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51908: Wow, I didn’t get anywhere with this. Learnt something new though. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51859: Another clever idea for a grid! I guessed what the connection would be straight away but my knowledge was not extensive enough. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51876: Great idea! I didn’t manage it but fun for those who can. (3 years ago)

Ivan Adriazola Cuevas @ #29192: I would argue about small but I guess they are brit things, Im from abroad and have never heard about them (3 years ago)

Ivan Adriazola Cuevas @ #42675: Pretty easy to put three follow up words (3 years ago)

Ivan Adriazola Cuevas @ #51902: the diseases where a total pain in the you know where, Nicely done (3 years ago)

Minato @ #51551: Easy but fun! (3 years ago)

Kitty @ #51904: Good puzzle (3 years ago)

Minato @ #51818: Really good! I enjoyed it; I will say the Isaac tears were a deep cut, but I thought it was great overall! Love these video game walls. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51859: Jolly good TY (3 years ago)

Minato @ #51877: Love the video game connecting walls! I'm actually trying to make some myself, and these have been some great inspo! (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51774: Liked the original singer and drum groups, thanks. (3 years ago)

Gabe @ #51759: pancake category is too broad. nothing specific to pancakes. (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51887: Agree with Fam, nicely done : ) (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51885: Nice TY (3 years ago)

Kitty @ #51901: Too hard (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51876: I'm not good with numbers, so it would take me forever but I really like your construction. TY! (3 years ago)

Neonage @ #51892: Many people not from the UK may not get the UK references, but it is a UK gameshow after all (3 years ago)

Neonage @ #51891: I thought M Night Shymalan and Justin Timblerlake were quite popular, but then again I possibly didn't use all their most famous works (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51891: I think 3 of the 4 groups are too niche but maybe it works for others. (3 years ago)

Kitty @ #51891: Too hard (3 years ago)

AB @ #51885: 👍🏻 (3 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #51887: Ridley Scott is hopelessly obscure, but the rest are fair. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51882: Clever grid. I didn’t complete it but it was good. Thanks for posting. (3 years ago)

Neonage @ #51890: That was great (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51887: Game of two halves St John. Two groups to easily lead you in then two groups to befuddle you. (3 years ago)

Omegaman @ #51596: Rhyming words not right??? (3 years ago)

Omegaman @ #51593: Rhyming needs adding, letters that can be filled in??? Lamp and light are better described as furnishings rather than furniture in my opinion. (3 years ago)

Neonage @ #51879: Plus one about the anagrams (3 years ago)

Israel @ #51888: Actually really impressive! Nice Job! (3 years ago)

Churchill @ #51888: this was really good (3 years ago)

St John @ #51858: good, saw and ignored Eons as with Act, ive been fairly beaten (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51885: Good grid. Maybe accept the abbreviation for the Fielding group, though by that point people know they’ve got the connection. (3 years ago)

Tbone @ #51879: Where there are anagrams it would be cool to see what they are unscrambled (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51884: Interesting one. Thank you. (3 years ago)

St John @ #51577: always trying :-) (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51877: Gah, can’t you flag these up in the comments as special interest only or something ( like the film buff people do ). But maybe that ruins it for people who might not see it straight away but guess it with that specific interest. (3 years ago)

Aaww @ #51884: Good one (3 years ago)

Israel @ #51733: You are Satan embodied on a woe man. The hypocrisy between your life and solitude is a sad tale. If there is ever a time in which i meet such a sad and apathetic man, i will promptly grab a gun and aim it at my cranium. You deserve the death sentence. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51577: I see you must have modified this St John. I understand your reluctance because of the removal of the red herrings but it’s still a good grid with the surnames there. I didn’t know the connection even with them. (3 years ago)

Malcolm @ #51815: My lack of Steakhouse and Eastenders knowledge hampered me wit this one (3 years ago)

Malcolm @ #51824: Only one of your syndromes is correct, the other 3 should have 's at the end. Also, bad form to use 'mom' in a UK board, surely? (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51577: Explanations/reasons all there or self explanatory (3 years ago)

Nigel Fletcher @ #51873: Oooh! Very good. x (3 years ago)

Tilly @ #51876: It is not difficult but it is time consuming so I would recommend either refreshing or taking a screen shot (3 years ago)

Doc Filth @ #51793: Any appearance by DOOM merits five stars instantly! (3 years ago)

Purple Aki @ #51869: Fun wall! Caught out by the ____kick category (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51577: Donnybrook is Irish.I believe it is an area of Greater Dublin known in the past for moblike fights. Fairly common but old fashioned expression. The explanations or reasons were very restricted on 3 of the groups. (3 years ago)

Bob @ #12167: So A Mexican hat dance is a Mexican hat dance. Thanks for clearing that up!! Crap!! (3 years ago)

Bob @ #9384: WTF is a doctor who barker. Utterly pathetic!! (3 years ago)

Neonage @ #51840: Great except I have no clue of the Taskmaster winners being out of the UK (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51567: Devilishly tough. You went very niche for the Musketeers, but I admire indulging yourself for those characters. Marco Polo derailed me on the candy group. Possibly your toughtest one yet. (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51566: spun me in circles for 3 minutes really well constructed (3 years ago)

Fam @ #35398: Nice, without needing too much specialist knowledge. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #44363: Good little grid. Couldn’t see all the hidden words even though I was looking for them. (3 years ago)

Helen Bach @ #51822: Though you can be "anti" just about anything, really. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51812: Love it when I ‘see’ the groups within a minute but can only give the connection for one. Thanks for the explanations. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51847: Can someone, anyone, try this and post whether you solve it. I’m just intrigued as to whether anyone gets these ones I see as ‘impossible’. (3 years ago)

jude @ #38444: second row should be precipitation not weather but good puzzle (3 years ago)

Jmelb @ #51804: Nice and easy. Like most grids, has been done. That is to be expected, the trick is to true to keep thinking of less used examples. As St John says, you will never please everyone, so don't get discouraged. TY (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51775: Thanks Jmelb. Appreciated from such a seasoned poster as yourself. Nice to get feedback. (3 years ago)

Helen Bach @ #51838: Yes, the place names was... well, it's just insignificant places that you found on a list somewhere. (3 years ago)

Tom @ #33679: Good but very mixed, thanks (3 years ago)

Fam @ #50166: Not a fan of ‘starts with’ type connections when looking for something more involved like where band is from etc. Got me thinking though and some great bands. (3 years ago)

Ade @ #51804: Fun grid for a Saturday morning. Thank you Fam. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51838: Didn’t stand a chance with the Hell group. Enjoyed the rest though. (3 years ago)

Ade @ #51815: Excellent. Thank you (3 years ago)

Wolfy @ #51732: You should try my 90s bands one then 😆 (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51828: Clever. Got one but yeah, maybe if more time ( and knowledge ). Hard to pitch as some people prefer more of a challenge. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51844: Names were good to work out. Of your two other groups though, one was a little obscure and the other so much so I wonder if anyone would know it. (3 years ago)

Ncfn @ #51828: Excellent! (3 years ago)

David @ #51815: Really fun grid, thanks. (3 years ago)

Neil @ #51611: WTF do you mean Preceding outfits/ outfits? Terrible grid (3 years ago)

Neil @ #51671: The worst grid I've done today. at least give us proper answers. (3 years ago)

Neil @ #42759: Mrs Miller, please, there is nothing in this grid that overlaps in relation and makes it a very easy puzzle as long as you can read. (3 years ago)

Neil @ #42761: the only thing challenging about this is clicking correctly as fast as you can. Nothing remotely difficult (3 years ago)

Neil @ #43898: Don't submit a puzzle with typos, it's that simple Sarah (3 years ago)

Neil @ #48309: Synonyms alone i guess is not good enough for "synonyms for easy" (3 years ago)

Balex @ #51781: A shame that Out and Tie could fit in the other’s category, because the rest of the grid is nice and intricate (3 years ago)

Balex @ #51780: Didn’t get the 60s thing because I thought it was “Time Bandits”. Kinda works! (3 years ago)

Fam @ #50929: 5* (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51766: I’ve come to hate the minecraft entries in the grids as if you don’t know them there’s nothing to make them stand out so they end up interfering with the rest of your workings. I guess that’s the game though. (3 years ago)

barry womble @ #51804: great grid. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51787: Easy but very good. (3 years ago)

St John @ #51804: Nice grid as it stands and you can tinker with it with different examples, how it is presented etc to have variety, Keep this grid and use it as a template for others, There are many types of grid, some closer to the Only Connect format others completely different, I think the only rules are, nothing abusive etc, the players will let you know via stars awarded or comments, you will never please everyone, You may have seen I experiment [not always successfully] (3 years ago)

David @ #51783: Unusual to find such a difficult grid the most popular of the day. Thanks. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51814: Only one group managed. Fits in the hard category in my eyes though it works perfectly well. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51804: If you happen to do this one can you tell me if you thought it worked. Is it still worth doing ones with no red herrings or is it too obvious? Thanks. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51813: Didn’t know if the different spellings were for a reason, but it’s wotsit and hula hoop. Good grid. Would never have got the Bashir one personally. I was thinking of Martin Bashir. (3 years ago)

Cenedd Taylor @ #51813: Slightly kinder feedback... Wotsit & Hula Hoop is what you're after. Pretty good grid otherwise. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51810: I think it should be in the hard category (3 years ago)

Helen Bach @ #51805: While I was able to do it without actually knowing any German, now that I have seen the categories, the same applies as if it were in English: you can't use "numbers" AND "odd numbers" as categories. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51808: Interesting grid. I also find it interesting that sometimes your mind can ‘see’ what goes together even if you don’t know why. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #46080: Very good. I got all the groups bar Flu.rant. Just as Dogms commented, for some reason it was harder to figure. Maybe because there wasn’t an obvious ‘in’ word. (3 years ago)

Tom @ #46080: Very clever but JMT right (3 years ago)

quodlibet @ #51755: I guess I've got a dirty mind... (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51775: Thanks for the advice and encouragement everyone. I’ve amended the permitted answers James ( I tried to think of all possibilities but didn’t think of this obvious one ). I take your point about grids being harder than you think they’ll be Mister Tom. When I looked at the finished submitted grid I couldn’t even see the connections myself! I’d deliberately included the card connection James, even though in a different format to the others, so as to be less obvious but now realise I don’t need to be that devious. You were thinking Al Jolson St John, I was thinking Neil Diamond. Probably many on here too young for either 🙂 (3 years ago)

bigz @ #51469: ............................................ (3 years ago)

James @ #51775: Good first attempt. Just a couple of comments / suggestions: You might want to widen the permitted answers (I used the term "double acts", which wasn't accepted) The card connection was a little misleading as, if I undertand it correctly, it comes before whereas the others all come after. Keep up the good work! (3 years ago)

St John @ #51775: Age thing but I was thinking Al Jolson- I hope you enjoyed setting, keep going and you'll be hooked. The hardest thig is innovation, you are bound to take ideas from other grids, no worries. Mister Tom speaks true. (3 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #51775: Good start ( i think- some of thebconnectionsni hadn't heard of). As for hard/ easy- this is fine and they dont all have to be the same anyway. It is rare that a grid gets better by adding obscurity, except as a " if you know this 1 clue you know the group" giveaway. Difficulty is a bit lile hofstadter's law: grids are usually harder than you think they will be as the setter, even if you know that this is the case. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51729: I should add that I got all the groups ultimately but it was a bit of trial and error. The concept worked ok for me, for example putting Bhuzania and Tan together, but then there seemed to be three other possible pairings to go with that with only one accepted. (3 years ago)

dgms @ #51729: Good ideas, but impossible to solve without being a mind-reader, as the pairings were arbitrary, and members of groups interchangeable. Also it should be Neau, for Nepal-Palau. I failed to get any group despite seeing the connections within seconds. The only logical solution I saw was to group Naau Vietibia Bhuzania United Kingindica together- as groups of smashed country pairings, Harroshead, Loncaster, Blackley Reddiff - as a group of smashed town/city pairs, Pal, Tan, Dom, Nam as the links between the countries, Car, Don, Gate, Burn, as the town links, as there was no reason to put Vietibia with United Kingindica, than Bhuzania or Naau, or any reason for Loncaster not to be paired with Blackley or Reddiff instead of Harroshead.

bigz @ #51434: somewhere between eccentric and ridiculous. one group makes sense without question. the other 3 are borderine insane. (3 years ago)

Fam @ #51729: Good idea St John. Couple of small typos with the spelling I think Naau - Neau Vietabia - Vietibia And it seems like you would have to have specific pairings for each group of four countries or cities to be accepted but no logical reason why a different group of four couldn’t be put together. Still fun trying to work it out though. (3 years ago)

dogma @ #51546: Nice ideas, and very challenging, but it falls down because there's at least one direct swap that can made between groups. Scanty and Short can both be synonyms for brief, or half an item/pair of clothing (scanties is slang for knickers), so there's more than one possible valid solution to the grid.

dogma @ #51447: Nice, fun ideas, with some great red herrings but the grid doesn't work. Olympia is also a Greek city as well as a US one, while Rhodes and Homer are both cities in the US as well as things associated with Greece, so there are at least three valid solutions to the grid as it stands and as the group links are defined, rather than just the one it's supposed to have.

dagoba @ #51445: Nice, straightforward grid, good fun. The only thing I didn't like was the cotton group - two of them are types/weaves of fabric, two are fibres the fabric is made from, and that spoils the logic of that group.

Superrodan @ #51211: I'd argue this is not really the ideal grid for general audiences as it all has to do with specific knowledge of a singular IP. I was hoping the gimmick would be that everything was from LOTR but the categories would somehow be guessable without knowing much about the specifics of the story. It seems like it would be fun for fans of the books/movies though, so hopefully it finds its niche. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Charles @ #42579: I am very sorry but this is not a very clever wall. There is no logical connection to be found within a group. So they all add up to 28? You can only find those groups if you know up front that the numbers all add up to 28 because nothing else connects them. But even then it doesn't make sense because "Minus One" and "Rogue One" are both 1 so how is "Rogue", "Candles", "Brothers" and "Months" a tight group when "Rogue" could just as easily have been "Minus". I'm very sorry but this is not a good wall. (3 years, 1 month ago)

dagoba @ #51033: Fun grid, but only just solvable by luck, as bacon and sausage are interchangeable between their two groups (tomato could be swapped into it too - the sausage group is a bit too open). If you change sausage to something that can't go in the bacon/tomato group (fig, maybe?) you lose a nice red herring, but have a grid that actually works. There's only meant to be one workable solution to the grids, and there's at least one item in the bacon group that can be directly swapped with sausage. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dogma @ #50971: There were answers that could've been swapped between the 'tech companies' and 'high earning businesses' groups (unless that's a technical term with a very specific definition I don't know of), so the grid doesn't actually have only one valid solution. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Charles @ #51000: I liked it but there are some connections are not tight enough in my opinion. For instance with the toy category, there is a mixture of toy manufactures and toy lines. For instance Nerf is a toy line which is owned by the toy manufacture Hasbro. It would be better and tighter if they were either all toy lines like Barbie, Nerf etc. or all manufacturers like Mattel, Hasbro etc. The animal category could also be tighter. A ewe is specifically a female animal and the rest are not. I do really like the apostrophe one, that was quite clever. A lot of potential for red herrings. (3 years, 1 month ago)

ARD 41 @ #50997: 32, 64, 96 and 128 are most obviously multiples of 32, but this was not accepted, so perhaps change that. Prime numbers is fine. I am a mathematician and I have no clue what the other two groups are, like the previous commenter. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dogma @ #50959: Nice ideas, and fun to do, although I spotted three group connections immediately, I feel like I actually sorted the groups by accident more than deduction, as there were at least two pairs that could be swapped between groups. The Nixie and Selkie groups are fun, but not sufficiently different from each other - Nixie and Selkie could be directly swapped over between their respective groups as they both fullfil the criteria for both. Similarly, ermine and sable are interchangeable between their two groups. The grid isn't valid, which is a shame, as I enjoyed for the most part (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dogma @ #50987: Quite good. It all worked, but three of the groups needed to be solved using the same sort of wordplay, which took time and was a little monotonous. If one more group had been straightforward answers, it would have been better. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dogma @ #50976: Nice, logical and easy to sort out the groups, but two of the group definitions were very restrictive, only accepting the plurals. Also, in the 'love' group answer, you don't actually state what the connection is - it's fairly obvious, from your explanation of each item, but it would be good to have the actual link written there (3 years, 1 month ago)

Charles @ #2297: People are saying it's too easy. It is not "too" easy. It's not the most difficult wall I have played, I'll give you that. But to the people who are claiming it's "too easy" I have to say, it's quite easy to spot certain connections, then you probably on accident found a group or two, there fore eliminating a red herring or two right off the bat and then the grid becomes much more orderly. Well done on making this wall. There are red herrings in every group. (3 years, 1 month ago)

d @ #50891: Not bad, but needs more red herrings. I also think it's important for clues to be either 'preceded by x' or 'follow x' and not a mix. The eye category also has similar consistency issues, unless 'eye of the cyclops' is a phrase I'm unfamiliar with. (3 years, 1 month ago)

bigz @ #50846: Don't most Porsche owners belong in the bag group??? What in God's name is a cabin bag? Also, when you mix prefices with suffices or tag words before with tag words after, it's just inconsistent. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Moondog @ #50852: Occupational surnames was rejected as a correct answer? ( Did you type a connection that was correct but not get the points you deserved? If so, sorry. The system isn't perfect. Do give yourself the extra points mentally. (There's probably no need to comment about this, unless it's constructive.) A constructive reply is to advise you to think a little and put the basics into the answer so no one feels the need to criticise you for the lack. There is little wrong with the system, it's broad enough to accept decent input. The fault lies with the end user. Garbage in, garbage out. RTFM. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Helen Bach @ #50497: I think I might swap out one of the Carnival of the Animals group for Pianists, because (1) it's distinctively something that goes in that group which would stop any "oh, but that group could also be..."-type quibbles, and (2) it's quite funny. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Observation @ #50439: thanks Dgms (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dgms @ #50452: Very good ideas, it could be a really good grid, but it needs some work. You can't have identical words in two groups, so basket needs to be changed in on of them. 'Rank' doesn't contain a word meaning the same as the others, it just is the word - you could edit it to 'Rankle'. 'Ish' isn't really a homophone for 'ich'. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Dgms @ #50240: Really good fun, and great ideas - I really enjoyed it. The only big problem is that Power and Break can be directly swapped with each other between groups, and there's only supposed to be on valid solution. If you amend Break to Mill, that cross over would be eliminated (and while Mill could still fit into another group, there's nothing in that group that could be swapped with Mill).

Moondog @ #50415: Space raiders are manufactured by KP and are a corn snack, a sub set of the brand. Crisp is a little innacurate. The other three are the brand names.

Dipthong @ #50253: @RegularQuizzer, I'm sorry you found this small brain teaser outside your ability and thus resorted to curt comments that are certainly not constructive in improving this wall. It is hardly necessary to be so brusque in your language when you could have simply stated what you found challenging about the puzzle and perhaps also - if you are capable of such measures - what you enjoyed. I do not believe that all the links contained within the wall are outside the reach of the majority of quizzers, but maybe your brash comment is a result of frustration at not noticing red herrings or some fiendishly simple link? I hope your future comments show more civility and decorum than this one. Thank you. (3 years, 1 month ago)

Good grid @ #48141: I enjoyed it although it was very easy. Acute and obtuse can pretty much only be angles, humpback and beluga can pretty much only be whales. It was clever having a whole category that was just "blue" and not actually including "blue" though and "bookworm" was nice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mark Nagle @ #50218: sorry - please explain . The answers make NO sense to me. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Good grid @ #49678: Loved the misdirect of having the gems along with "ruby" which is actually in its own category for being red. Annoyed that I didn't get "Black __" when I got the red things, and I went through so many possibilities thinking they could be kinds of gun (sheep gun / sheep rifle, a rifle, a widow(maker?) and panther (I knew it was a tank which was close) or maybe things that can be used as nouns and verbs (widow and to widow, rifle and to rifle, admittedly this falls apart with panther and sheep).

bigz @ #50172: An ace on a 5 par is a condor, not an ostrich. Naming an incredibly long holed shot after a flightless bird makes no sense. That is why the fighted birds get larger as you move down - birdie < eagle < albatross < condor. (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #50156: Bigz, this is a general knowledge site. Is everyone expected to know everything? Leg bye is a common cricket term and neck or nothing is a term used in good old plain English, meaning all or nothing. If you haven't got anything positive to say about grids, hush your lips.

JubalBarca @ #16209: I think the "castle building" clue is a bit unfairly put: the bailey isn't a building, it's a whole enclosed area of the castle. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33778: As usual, clever with lots of tricks ... to my surprise got some quite quickly (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #50011: The Baldwin group connection for a UK grid seems near impossible, and Anustamok - well, every day's a school day. For the sake of my self esteem, I think this is should probably be 'Fiendish' (3 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #50012: Spaghetti a bit niche? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ade @ #50000: Greatest grid!!!!!!! Is Lena RiskyQuiz in disguise? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #50010: I think it's 'sebelas' not 'sebalas'. Good grid though, very enjoyable. I didn't get the right connection for the Franklin group, even though it was the first one I put together when solving the grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #49306: Wonder Woman would beg to differ :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Taghi @ #50000: Has words in words. 10/10 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dries @ #50000: Undeniably superb. It was very hard and I didn't finish it but I'm not the strongest gridder and I was eating a yogurt at the time so I think that's my bad. The grid is perfect (3 years, 2 months ago)

david A garcia @ #50015: Quality grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jimdas @ #49992: confetti! Although a few I didn't know.. and I was lucky on the 2 first time lol (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lena @ #50000: Possibly the greatest grid ever made on this site. Definitely worthy of the 50,000 title (3 years, 2 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49990: Two of these categories (Spaniels and Jerries) are almost identical to ones that appeared in a puzzle constructed by MaggieMae which seems to have disappeared from the record. Hmmm. WTF, PuzzGrid? (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49992: One closer... (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49968: Yep, same here! Guessed the last line. Great grid, enjoyed it TY 5* (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49980: Agreed, but I thought there's more of a chance of solving it this way through similarities and process of elimination. (Alba, Albain etc) Anyway, once you've tried one way, e.g. all Latin, you realise it's the other, no? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jo @ #49980: Does not work because you can also do them in groups by language ie all Latin (3 years, 2 months ago)

Risk @ #49885: Really good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49948: I liked the DA line and the Droit line, but Cluedo is overused and although (as an electronics technician,) I know about logic gates, I think your average punter still won't have a clue what they are, even after seeing the answer. I was trying to make them into names by adding a Y; Roy, Danny, Roxy... couldn't get the last one tho! 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Risk @ #49935: enjoyable (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49956: Nice mix of types - although the hidden numbers and animals is quite well-used in previous grids. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49968: Very good! Didn't get the Taller authority line, but smashed the rest! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #49961: Very nice! I love themed grids. Thank you for making! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #49963: Nice one, with all the food groups. I'd be a bit more mindful of what answers people might give (E.g. Always add both singular and plural forms - it didn't accept fry). Thank you for making :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #49965: I would advise not to make a grid with foreign languages if you have to use google translate to get the options. Make sure you really understand your own groups before making them into a puzzle. But on the whole, it didn't matter too much that there were mistakes because the links were clear! Thanks for making :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49882: Sorry but not for me. Colours not on a rainbow? - but at least it accepted colours. Seals have pups and raccoons have kits not cubs. Second letter i is a very poor group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49880: As #49876 (3 years, 2 months ago)

LS94 @ #49890: Favourite grid I've seen on here, excellent stuff! (3 years, 2 months ago)

LS94 @ #49883: Good crossovers but I'd recommend taking Loki off the grid as Loki can be swapped into the Norse Gods group for Odin or Thor and it would still work. Grids shouldn't have multiple possible solutions. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Terri @ #49896: enjoyed this one! :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #49909: ahh, little wonder my knowledge was lacking (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #49905: Nice ideas, but three groups had identifiers which were too similar, and the Niels group, as well as being people whose names were used for elements, is also a group in which all the members begin with the atomic symbol for an element- Ni - nickel, La lanthanum, Li lithium, Y yttrium. Also, ore follows iron, it's not a synonym. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roy @ #49904: my knowledge of North Carolina school mascots is very sketchy (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49880: Dorchester isn't a city either. At least it's a significant town, but it's not a city. With "Hermonie" and "Pocahontus" I actually thought for a few seconds that one group might be "misspellings"... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49894: Something on the "Sham" group stops it accepting an answer or moving on to the next group. Have you put a non-standard character in your answer or something? Also: "Forgery" doesn't work as a clue. (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49886: Be interesting to see how the names of marbles tally up across the water... I reckon a beach ball is what we call (used to call, back in the day!) a pearly and maybe bird cage is a maypole... Thought I'd post this here so not to spoil the other grid! Enjoy your work mate, TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #49876: Good grid, but Lanchester isn't a city, it's a village in county Durham. You're probably mixing it up with Lancaster. There are also a couple of typos you might want to correct - Pocahontas is spelled 'Pocahontas' not 'Pocahontus', and Hermione is spelled 'Hermione', not 'Hermonie'. The misspellings might make people think there are hidden words that necessitate the misspellings, when the groups are actually very straightforward. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Idk if you can still change it. But good grid, with nice red herrings! I liked the countries group. Ty for making. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #49810: Brilliant! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #49821: The Male Marvel character first name group and the Kings of England group need a little work, to eliminate interchangeable answers. Maybe swap James for another name which isn't also the name of a King of England, as every single name in the Kings group is also the first name of a male Marvel character, which means there are at least five valid solutions to the grid, when there should only be one.

Kuba @ #49788: Thanks for making! I'd always put the 'lowest common denominator' for any group. Olympic rings, sure, but they're also just colours. I think that's the main reason why some people marked it down. I really liked the 'zero' group :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jack and Fran @ #27382: Lorna - this was a great wall and the REVEAL about your motivations for the clues was just unbelievable. Thank you for your service xxx (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #49755: Nice, thank you! I'd be mindful to include the word 'synonyms' as correct answer for a group like 'road' etc (3 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #49776: Very nice, thanks! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Christo @ #49770: Nice one. (3 years, 2 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49740: Got it with 8 seconds left! Very satisfying, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Keith @ #49709: Neat ! (3 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #49742: Not just you. The software has had problems with special characters in answers in the past; I bet it's the / or + causing the problem. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ggh @ #49738: How dare you waste my time with spurious nonsense like this grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49755: Eve group is kinda done to death, even with the red herring. (But that's really hard to avoid... I've done the dreadful group before too) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49756: Simple but clean (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49757: That's ludicrously tough (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49756: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

macabaret @ #49628: By far one of my favourites in a long time. Very clever, even though I didn't know about the race and the dancer. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Erik @ #43045: Rubbish man, needs improvement (3 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #49749: Cheers got 7/10 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49746: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

T12 @ #49742: Is it me or is the grid broken? I can't answer the connection between Michigan U and the other parts of that group (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49748: Hahah I got all four groups on the first guess, and I had no idea what the hell was going on. I thought the Cats group just sounded like names for cats. Good categories! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49736: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49747: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Everett @ #47902: Cora, the American name is Australia. Other countries call it Oceania but this is an American board. (3 years, 2 months ago)

rjj @ #48108: Skate? Customary? Mozzarella? Issue? seriously? (3 years, 2 months ago)

asdf @ #48198: I think "Bud" and "Chap" can refer to anyone, not just men. Maybe chap is only men, but "Bud" can definitely be either, since it is just a shortening of "Buddy" (3 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #49736: cool grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

kuba @ #49727: Nice! I prefer when a word is added that it is either just at the beginning or just at the end, not either/or. But maybe that's personal preference. Somehow I got the whole 'sam' group while thinking that the missing name was 'scotty' XD Thank you for making! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49741: A little naughty perhaps as there are also rabbits in the WITW-verse... and yes I'm kicking myself for not just trying the 4 obvious characters straight away (3 years, 2 months ago)

dagoba @ #49735: The answer needs to be just ' London Underground' if you're not going to signify 'and city' alongside Waterloo in your clue. (3 years, 2 months ago)

GavinJ @ #49735: Great grid. Possibly "Battle of 1815 and Manchester" (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49735: It'll be good when you've fixed Waterloo... this takes me back, I did an Abba Rebus picture round once. You could have done Alan Partridge :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49726: Lots of crossovers is good! Even if gules is only nearly one ;-) Apt group was the weakest - maybe a microsoft products group to play off azure? Then you can have competent, consistent and excel. but I still give it a good score. Thanks for setting (3 years, 2 months ago)

XCh @ #49735: Nice, but Waterloo isn't the full name of an underground line, which is a bit out of place with the others (3 years, 2 months ago)

john @ #49735: It's the Bakerloo line.... (there is no Waterloo line) (3 years, 2 months ago)

barry womble @ #49735: Really brilliant. Absolutely 5 stars. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roy @ #49735: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ragman @ #49732: Not what a gargoyle is..... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Burnsy @ #49731: The same word isn't used twice, it's S-LI-VER and S-IL-VER. (3 years, 2 months ago)

XCh @ #49726: I think ept, apt, and vert have a few too many prefixes each to make 3/4s of a group, as mentioned they all fit the IN group, which is perhaps a bit too much. Also unclear why Skua isn't Skuas to fit with the rest of the group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Luke @ #49731: I'm not grid making expert myself but I think using the same word twice should be avoided. All good apart from that though :-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Drew @ #49730: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Luke @ #49712: Damn that was evil. I'm a person that knows their metal but with the crossovers I just couldn't get it then lost focus on the other groups. Nice grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49721: Only today I had to look up what "OG" referred to. (3 years, 2 months ago)

anon @ #49727: yosemite (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roy @ #49709: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49725: Very well done (3 years, 2 months ago)

dagoba @ #49721: Good fun, nice red herrings and group links, except the last group I had left to link. The link word could pretty much go in front of any word, and I wasn't aware of a couple of the phrases as particularly commonly used or well known. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dagoba @ #49726: Ok, but three items in one group could have fitted into another group, which is a bit mean, even if there was nothing in the other group that could be swapped. Technically it was still valid as a unique solution, but it took ages to work out those two groups (which were the most obvious ones to me). (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49723: Not enough time to even listen to them in 3 minutes .... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49703: I liked it (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49723: Could you please give it a longer time than 3 minutes? thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #49709: great! (3 years, 2 months ago)

CKJ @ #49709: Nice aha moments! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49692: (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49628: Great grid thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49709: Very enjoyable. Not difficult but fun! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49709: Wonderfully original... for 30 seconds. maybe the hotel group a bit too stand out, but that's me (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49711: Yes I did (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49709: Nice grid. Something different, enjoyed. (3 years, 2 months ago)

kuba @ #49705: just as a tip, I'd always put the keywords in singular (e.g. accept 'period') to avoid problems - - it automatically accepts the plural anyways. And I'd accept American spelling as well as British. But some people might be more purists on that point :D Thanks for making! (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49665: Good one. Just the right level of difficulty (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49705: Yes it was easy. Nice introduction (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49698: Didn't work for me. The sprain group possibly has some overlap elsewhere which i couldn't see but otherwise it's just 3 non words, and the cold/ other temperatures thing just felt unsatisfying. It is nice to see something original tho. Maybe I'm just hot (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #5813: (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49699: False or Fake (3 years, 2 months ago)

pwfk fan @ #49698: Nice. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49696: Actually, I think you are right! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49696: @Jmelb, I think the "downmarker" has been at work,, I had to agree with @dagoba and could not see a way to remedy the grid to my liking, so I aborted it. I liked both of yours btw (3 years, 2 months ago)

Happygridder701 @ #49697: Is it not pidgin? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49696: what's going on? (3 years, 2 months ago)

lockdown @ #49691: yes it is! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49696: Grid has been aborted - do not play (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49696: @dagoba, quite right thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

dagoba @ #49696: Good groups that all made sense. Fun grid to do, but Strangles doesn't work with the link description (it has an extra letter). I loved the chokes group, but your description of chokes isn't right - you're describing hearts (it makes no difference to the validity of the group,but I thought it an important difference). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #49682: Great fun. Love all the groups, and liked the overall theme. I'm not sure how xylitol fits into its group though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ehrenbruder Kylo @ #49656: Ehrengrid (3 years, 2 months ago)

Seedy Em @ #49678: Really enjoyed this grid. A little annoyed that I didn't get the point for saying that Steven et al. are 'The Crystal Gems' so maybe add that as a correct option? Overall really good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Checker @ #44958: This doesn't really work. Boxing (in the hidden animals group) and Bowls (in the sports group) can be exchanged, since Boxing is a sport as well and Bowls contains an Owl. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #49661: Parts of anatomy, not physiology. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #49670: Hahah the police are here. A few questionable words, but simple and fun. (3 years, 2 months ago)

JMT @ #49671: Well said observation. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Everett @ #38700: I said 4th of July as well, DeeR. (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49674: Lovely grid, Chris group is great. 5* (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy b @ #49546: Fun! Thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #49665: Double red, double bluff. Nice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #49671: Fairly enjoyable. I saw what all the groups were quite quickly, and sorted it in about two minutes. There were some fun red herrings, but I found that the groups having a mixture of (sort of) synonyms and words that go with the link, was a bit unsatisfying, especially when the link word had to be attached to another word to make it a synonym of the clue. (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49659: Never heard of donkey stone? Not from north then. Good grid. Maybe a little easy (me being able to complete it!) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49671: Well I thought it was fairly easy and good fun. Confetti, but DNK the slang, so TY for the lesson. (3 years, 2 months ago)

LS94 @ #49674: Great grid! I read the albums one as 100,000 so that completely threw me off for about 30 seconds. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49667: Caught by the Cts. Answer to the He.ed line needs a minor tweak. Even a crossing on the street to lead us astray. Brilliant again. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49664: Sent me completely up the wrong stream, but it was a fun mystery tour. Did you know Jack Hampshire was a cricketer? (3 years, 2 months ago)

OBVINCKENOBI @ #49673: Excellent. A few good red herrings. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49674: good red herrings, led me timed out. Is Panda still out there? (3 years, 2 months ago)

LS94 @ #49671: I think this one has crossed the threshold from being very hard to damn near needing to be a mind reader to have a clue. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49671: @Matty Mungbean - Sometimes it is better to remain silent and risk looking foolish[ignorant] than to spout forth and remove all doubt (3 years, 2 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #49671: Frankning not Frank then ?????? Frankfurter not Frank ????????, never heard a small curtsey be called a bob either (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49669: good (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49667: Nice. I nearly gave up twice, but managed it by 50 seconds with 2 lives left. Had to stare at the ju.ice group for about a minute to get what was missing. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49667: 4 refreshes and I rejected st and unction thinking I was still church obsessed. Good one J (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49668: very nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

J Silberman @ #49668: No London knowledge required. Inspired by 48018, thanks Honks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49661: Enjoyed that ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49666: Monstrance was the 'in', then it was all quick and easy. Very well put together though! ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49664: Just a bit of fun - hint, it helps if you are old! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49661: Nice n easy. Lovely words. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49659: My gran says "Never heard of it, exactly how old is this Obs fellow?" , but she did appreciate the confetti. Ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ellie @ #49658: Not sure I like Blue's, as all the others are blue.....bit inconsistent. Otherwise good fun.....the rivers group drove me bonkers! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Essjay @ #49642: really enjoyed that - thank you (3 years, 2 months ago)

Essjay @ #49653: very enjoyable - thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #49653: Loved it! Ty for posting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49658: Really good herrings, got German rivers but couldn't get it right in time! (3 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #49653: Not difficult, but fun. Only a couple things preventing a 5 from me: - As David says, it should be "Spin" rather than "Spinning" to fit the group. - I know you need "Victor" for the red herring, but it's a problem because it's inconsistent with the rest in the group which are surnames. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Happygridder701 @ #35403: I put footballers which whilst not as specific is still technically correct (3 years, 2 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49653: Use of the gerund form of "spin" was unnecessary and inconsistent. (3 years, 2 months ago)

HL94 @ #49640: Magenta is a shade of purple, not pink. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49648: I was just sticking my nose in where it wasn't wanted : ( (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49645: Have to agree with Rick B, I was massively impressed that all the words WERE words in their own right, that must have taken quite a bit of time and thought to compile 6* (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49648: Confetti, but only just in time. Crossovers were great. Only got the Cyrano line after the reveal. I love the idea of putting TT & MF in the same grid. 5* Ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49645: I can't find enough stars for this, really enjoyed it. Once the the theme is understood, its fairly easy. I don't know (and don't want to) how difficult it would be without a theme. The pig and the elf are inspired. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49643: Big fat zero. I got 3 of the gs and 3 of the Js but my eye kept slipping straight past D. D'oh. The others would have appealed to another me. Ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49642: Very good cross overs WD (3 years, 2 months ago)

jeudefollie @ #41391: The "place-time-note-credit" could just as well have been "take ____". Still, I enjoyed it. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49636: @ Colin Hicks, Dagoba and Ostritch, criticisms duly noted - new and improved version available for others. Rick B, you are just a philistine, not appreciating "quality" British comedy :-) and Jmelb - bless you forgiving heart. There are good people out there. Brits - enjoy "freedom day" whole you can (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49641: Loved the Jeff and Tom lines (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49639: Liked the dopey line - and did not know that about Hairy! (3 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #49628: fun! Love the theme. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Drew @ #49641: Outstanding (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ostrich @ #49636: Myrtle and willow are both types of tree and since I had no idea how the other two fit into that category, I simply guessed "tree" as the link- and I got it. I don't know why, seeing as the actual connection had nothing to do with trees :) That particular group in general seems a bit of a stretch to me... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49628: And here's me only playing because of insomnia! Even confetti doesn't help. Lovely easy grid ty. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ostrich @ #49330: I misspelled liqueur but I'm taking the point :D The one about female animals is hard and I didn't get it but respect for coming up with that, it's a cool one. Overall this was one of my poorest performances on any puzzle (4/10) but I think it was one of my favorites of yours :) Good job! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49636: I also liked it until I saw the hi group. You get no thanks for reminding me of its existence. Humph. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49625: Got me too. I got the guide dog, but was blind to the rest. As always putting my orb in the wrong place. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49624: Only 2 for me, because it didn't accept many h---s or mum. Otherwise same comment as stj. Ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49636: Well I liked it (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ellie @ #49629: I do believe it is Swiss Toni, with a 'I'......other than that this grid was definitely "like making love to a beautiful woman" ;) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ellie @ #49628: Awesome grid and a bonus set to round them all up. I'm off to bed..... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49636: Whispering isn't a synonym of moaning, crying or weeping. I could argue the others aren't exact synonyms either, but I'd let them pass, if it weren't for the one that really doesn't fit. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Colin Hicks @ #49636: I don't like the synonyms group. It requires one leap too many, and it assumes that minor Harry Potter characters are a far greater part of common knowledge than they actually are. Sorry. (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49625: Got me!, fell for the wolf, p.s. is it a one or two humped ? wd ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49499: nice little twists ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49499: Enjoyed this (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49598: Daphne is the only one in the Dryad group that's a dryad. Metis was a Titan, Doris was the name of a few sea nymphs (oceanids) and Electra was the name of a few mortal women, and some sea nymphs. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #23309: Nice one, thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #1161: Very challenging, but satisfying. Thanks. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Cockles @ #49604: All fair points. Hope you like the new grid more! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Timmon @ #49607: very easy, even though Peels is spelt incorrectly (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #45110: I got 10/10 by using the work 'synonym' for the group eric is referring to. I agree that the answer to one of the groups should be corrected to replace "followed by" with "preceded by". (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #30477: Thank you! I loved the cryptic clues! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #47629: Got none of the groups, but all the connections! (3 years, 2 months ago)

JAdas @ #39823: good stuff my dude, took me a while (3 years, 2 months ago)

JAdas @ #35374: Very good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ellie @ #49616: Nice idea. Not so sure about the P group though (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49613: Good ideas, but half and third can be directly swapped over between their two groups, making more than one valid solution. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Anne @ #49607: The 'peels' red herring doesn't work as with that spelling it should be in the other group. A bell peals. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49602: Very nice! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jean Charles du Chauvignon @ #49606: Lost track of time! Nice grid jmelb (3 years, 2 months ago)

quodlibet @ #49606: I went through the entire Greek alphabet before I caught the last one! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49607: Yup... the overlap doesn't work because of the mis spelling (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #49606: Good one, but pho isn't a Greek letter - it's phi. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49566: @bigz Tin, I guess? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49604: This one isn't quite getting there for me. The group with the colours would have been a stronger connection if it had all been the same colour. Also, not a unique solution: Line could swap with Rain or Ice. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49610: Good grid.You might want to change gag for something else... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #49607: Very nice and easy. Peels confused me though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #49606: Really good and quite challenging, but doable without being a mind-reader, which is always nice. I found it very hard to sort two groups I was left with, but managed well within the time. Nearly gave up on trying to identify the A.rise group link, which was, my last one to get, but by ignoring a.rise, and just staring at two of the others, I found the link that connected all four. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #49605: @ grid checker. The 'misspelling' wasn't accidental, and doesn't invalidate the link, as the hidden words give the connection for the group, not the people. I'm sorry you might missed the massive of the misspelt name that had to be misspelt for the hidden word to fit.The link for the 'Taylor' group is 'Surnames that denote a profession', and 'Taylor' is one, it means 'tailor' and is derived from the same French word as 'tailor'. @St John, no I've not edited anything. I don't unless there's an actual mistake. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49607: A 23-second solve for me. Doc Filth is right though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Henry @ #49560: Good grid, well balanced (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49609: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

lockdown @ #49602: ah, he is quite exploded ; ) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Sarah @ #49608: Loved it (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49604: Just too many men for me [I counted 10] otherwise not bad. ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49605: From previous comments, I assume you have edited. I thought the grid was fine and the occassional misspelling only gives others an extra game to play ty [ps yes I know there is a spelling error here [peels of laughter]] (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49606: Very good, fiendish, I was chuffed to get the E.dna line. My classics education is sorely lacking.. Careful you are not hoisted by your own P.ard .. ;-) (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49602: and I thought Bunbury was from "the importance of being Earnest" nice and ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49607: "Peals" in that context is spelt with an A. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49607: Unusually straightforward for you - but good TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49605: Valerie Singleton is spelt with an E, not an A. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ade @ #49590: No cabbages for me! Thanks for the memories…… (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49606: thanks (3 years, 2 months ago)

Wasp71 @ #49606: Nice, but I think there's a letter missing in one of the clues (Ma.e) (3 years, 2 months ago)

grid checker @ #49605: The occupation is tailor And spelling is Valerie (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49605: Ok. All the groups are a bit samey, and the hidden rude names that don't form a group aren't as clever as you think. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #38540: Enjoyed it very much, thanks, but it didn't accept 'element atomic number'. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49532: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49596: Nice (3 years, 2 months ago)

Rick B @ #49590: Confetti, but I'm not sure how when I put Blue Peter instead of CJ. Those of us old enough to remember, can't. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #49566: What metal is clandestinely hidden in clandestine? Land? Andes??? Destin????? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Goyboy @ #49596: There are three highbrow categories that I didn't get but feel like, fair enough, they just happen to be outside my particular sphere of knowledge. It's the fourth group I really don't like, it feels too arbitrary. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49596: Good - quite sneaky, but doable. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49594: I don't care if that was a bit niche, it was *my* niche :D. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49568: Fun, but a bit easy.Change 'In Flanders' and 'ling distance' for other things and it would be a medium, rather than a very easy. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49590: One Crackerjack group is fine. Two? Not so good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #49588: You get an extra star for "bogling to Aswad". Dance, Colin! Dance! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dogma @ #49570: Ok, but Daphne is the only one in her group that is actually a dryad, a tree nymph, in Greek myth. The others are a titan, one of two oceanids, and one of several mortal women or an oceanid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hip @ #49552: Well done! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Happygridder701 @ #22570: Something named after someone is eponymous, should be allowed as an answer for Ford group. Good grid though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49557: @david A garcia - the answer isn't very well worded, but Africa does fit, because South Africa is a country. The explanation of the answer is pretty clunky though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49557: "Africa" is not nor has it ever been a country. Doesn't fit. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49565: I don't pronounce "aunt" that way... and I'm not even posh. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49562: Not sure I like it, even though I solved it. The difficulty of creating a numbers grid with a unique solution strikes again: 13 could swap with 4, 9 or 666... and probably 17 as well. (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49486: Yes and I was correct in my spelling (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49499: good one. maybe not! (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49546: Good one. No forgiveness required. Cunningly intertwined. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Timmon @ #49503: Good grid, Helped I knew my WG's & Nymphs (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49554: A perfectly good grid you could put on Only Connect with only minor tweaking. I don't see why has this got a low rating. There are worse grids than this which get 4 stars. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bilbo @ #49552: rubbish (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49546: Nice one, Pookman! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #47728: Too specialised for me (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49507: Absolutely lovely grid. 5* And yeah, got bamboozled by that group too! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dagoba @ #49544: Slightly ludicrous and over tricksy in a smug way, but no worse than the umpteen 'anagrams of the England team players' middle names' ones we've had. (3 years, 2 months ago)

sigma @ #39584: Need to add something like "Things that aren't true" for the one category. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49544: Nice and easy, but not very interesting. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #49544: Not good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #49523: Not unique... Monkey Business and Go west can be swapped. Grid needs to be unique (3 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #49540: I guess they're all considered as iconic guitarists. Clever grid but a bit easy once you've got one group figured out. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49514: some of these clues are stretching credibility..... (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49522: Agreed - highly likely that those are all first names of people called Smith. Also, for people outside the UK, that is just 8 TV shows. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49519: I feel grids like this could have many different solutions based on connections that are more obvious than the ones provided. (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49540: THe link is guitarists (3 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #49540: Whats the link for the Eric/Stevie/Jimmy/Eddie line apart from all being first names of musicians. (you could put in almost any first name into that list) (3 years, 2 months ago)

LeCorbeau @ #49122: I even happened to be listening to Portishead while completing this. Very nice grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Murph @ #49519: To me, there were 2 obvious ideas to start with. Left with 2 groups, some inspiration would be needed. Two of the last 2 groups might jump out. Having an idea to look at something related to them would give a group too. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #36669: Good grid. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Will @ #2748: Fantastic grid! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dan @ #49535: Is Hook a Tom Hanks film?? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49535: Not a unique solution; Bond Street and and/or Angel Islington could swap with Leicester Square or King's Cross. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Luke @ #49535: The first group is the first word to fleetwood mac hits. I did put that on the page but for some reason it's not loading in! (3 years, 2 months ago)

paul @ #49523: The frustration of knowing what the connections should be but solving zero lines. Great work. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49534: Excellent anagrams. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #49505: Well constructed (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49516: Honestly, apart from Glutton (Physical would have been better) that was alright. Not really deserving of the low grade it's got. (3 years, 2 months ago)

RBR45 @ #49523: Great grid - lots of red herrings (3 years, 2 months ago)

bumflapz @ #41816: INDEED. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49520: The point is that there is only one way of putting answers into their four groups. Even with the given connections, that clearly isn't the case here. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Roberta @ #49522: That was three-quarters of the way to a really good grid, but the Winston group isn't solving a puzzle, that's having to read the question-setter's mind. (Also... typo on "Opionated"). (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49498: very good, nice red herrings but my effort was more of a "wipe out". Educational to boot. TY (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #49498: Good grid - some really frustrating red herrings, and I solved the grid more my chance than actual knowledge of each group. Tequila isn't purely an instrumental though. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Dgms @ #49507: I just managed to get 10. The Ni group had me foxed for a minute, as I've only heard of two (or maybe one, but the other seemed to ring a bell) of that group. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Till E @ #49514: Great, the 3:1 line beat me ty (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49491: @ Grey one, thank you for playing and your feedback.. Declan Rice was in the England football team that were finalists in the European Cup. I nearly did what you suggested but decided I needed more full names to balance the grid and to leave an easy clue for the other (3 years, 2 months ago)

Grey one @ #49491: I don't know who Declan Rice is, but maybe you should have just put "Declan" to create a red herring for the rice group for those who do? (3 years, 2 months ago)

JerseySue @ #49471: Hard thank you! Could the 'wheel' group also be transport - of ye olde type? (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49476: Well I liked it, although one gripe, "round" was not accepted, thus denying me my shower of confetti 🤪 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Grey one @ #49474: Jenga may seem "traditional" to you youngsters but it's only about 40 years old... (3 years, 2 months ago)

Theo @ #49486: This was great! Please consider including the American name of the Peacock category. :) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Grey one @ #49481: Citizen Smith is a 70s sitcom and if Citizen Journalism is a recent coinage, I think *one* recent coinage in a group you can get from other clues is OK. My complaint is that the Osevenoaks group is... a bit rubbish. Not obscure (it's definitely not that), just rubbish. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49479: otherwise easy (3 years, 2 months ago)

tkn @ #22558: needs some more keywords for "couples" "duos" "pairs". Otherwise good (3 years, 2 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #49472: Dr Martens are a brand of footwear. (3 years, 2 months ago)

VCM @ #49485: Things that come in two's Foot (feet) Contact (contact lenses) etc.. Excellent grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #49482: 3 of 4 groups are obtuse and the last one is marginal. (3 years, 2 months ago)

bigz @ #49481: Citizen Smith and Citizen Journalism. Neologistic terms. And, silver does not preced in the last group. It follows at the end of the words, albeit I have no idea who Nate Silver might be. Sounds like an attorney who advertises late at night on TV. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49473: True! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49476: Relay race legs as in stages rather than actual body legs. Bit unclear I suppose : ( (3 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49476: I'm normally a fan of yours Jmelb, but I wasn't so keen on this one. A relay race can have any even number of legs, and tables can range from 1 leg to many legs. Don't worry, I'll still be searching your grids out! 😄 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Josh25 @ #49459: The Gemini connection was really more about Astrology and Geminis being described as two-faced. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jane @ #49472: Got the groups all right but it didn’t accept one of the connections. I know this happens sometimes, but I think the system ought to be able to recognise that “Dr” means “doctor”! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Feza @ #1708: Excellent grid! But Aiden is correct about salesmen. (3 years, 2 months ago)

GG @ #49475: Like the others, the pit group eluded me... I couldn't see beyond flea BAG! (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49473: Obscure way to spell pricier. (3 years, 2 months ago)

GG @ #49472: Really enjoyed this one. Funnily enough, the group I found by accident and couldn't define was the only one found by the author of the previous comment! Shows how different we all are! (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49475: Great! Really enjoyed it. I nearly didn't get the 'pit' group - because I was convinced pipit was spelled with a double p. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49459: Quite good, but I thought Gemini was just twins - I've never seen it represented as two faces. I think Janus would have been a better fit for that group/definition. (3 years, 2 months ago)

dgms @ #49472: Excellent! Unlike Jane Hunter, I spotted the 'binaries' group straight away, but binaries was the last one I spotted for it. Then I got the 'octopus' group, took a while to find the next one(which I really liked), and only spotted the 'house' link in my last group, as I was filling out the links. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jane Hunter @ #49475: Did much better on this one! Got the 'pit' link for sand, flea, and arm, but missed pi! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jane Hunter @ #49472: Fiendish! The only link I could see for myself was the 'House' one. I'm no good at anything which resembles an anagram. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49473: Don't want to be too predictable haha ps thought .died might have been your opening?? (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49473: Why no Rye? I wonder why Bl.ing was my opening to the grid? No reply necessary or wanted TY J (3 years, 2 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49471: Really good grid, not many red herrings but the links just tough enough (3 years, 2 months ago)

Theo @ #49436: I enjoyed that very much! Very clever. (3 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #49445: "step" not accepted - best to add solutions in their shortest possible expression (i.e. step instead of steps) (3 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49462: Glad that English answers were accepted so 10/10 for me and from me to you. Very good. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Ragman @ #49466: French soup?????? (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49465: V Good - well done for getting an original species of herring in! Putting "insults" meant I missed the confetti but satisfying nonetheless (3 years, 2 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49463: Ha. Tee was the one that had me running round in circles! Nice grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

St John @ #49465: Well I liked it (3 years, 2 months ago)

Observation @ #49465: Sat open mouthed for a minute, furrowed eyebrows for another minutes 45 secs then "meagre" lightbulb moment. Had to refresh to complete, so my confetti wasn't deserved. Love the way you vary your grids. BRAVA 6* (3 years, 2 months ago)

Lasagnaman @ #49446: Very good, thank you! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49425: *Dimension*😯 (3 years, 2 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49425: Super, got all but the Mny line, knew what it was (put the wrong answer)😞 Love the vowel less rounds, adds another dimention. Thanks for posting, more please. (3 years, 2 months ago)

MRH @ #49425: I think when the site is up to 49,000+ grids, fair play to anyone who posts new grids. Thank you. It’s what keeps the site going. Variety is the spice of life and the different formats make it more interesting. If you see one and you don’t like it, move on; there are plenty of others to choose from. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Cliff Richard @ #37718: crap (3 years, 2 months ago)

Cliff Richard @ #27054: Who or what is towie. Some obscure TV program for morons probably. Grids like these should be banned!!! (3 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49445: I think step singular should be included as some of the clues are singular eg stair (3 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49425: Malcolm I made one of these with crossovers and people complained bout the flse group ;-) unfortunately couldn't find it last night. Youll have to search my-back catslogue yourself. I agree, lack of crossovers is a valid criticism ! But gimmicky grids are definitely popular, and not compulsory (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49437: Yeah nah (3 years, 2 months ago)

Helicon @ #49437: Smash doesn't really belong in that group, the other three follow the same connection and then Smash doesn't. (3 years, 2 months ago)

Hamburger @ #49428: Nice grid (3 years, 2 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49436: You are correct, david, and I have made several edits including ensuring that 'sequence' no longer works. I think I've fixed everything now. Thanks for the feedback! (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49436: You are correct, david, and I have made several edits including ensuring that 'sequence' no longer works. I think I've fixed everything now. Thanks for the feedback! (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49436: Typing the actual elements of the progressive sequence should have worked. Typing the word "sequence" for each group should not have. (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49392: Nice grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #49436: The answer you enter is what you do to the clues; it's the same for all groups. Hope that helps :) (3 years, 3 months ago)

paul @ #49428: Agree that those aren't synonyms. Perhaps different synonyms of another word, but not of each other. No way are stable and whole interchangable in any sentence. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Nikki @ #49436: I like the concept, but have no idea what to enter as the answer. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Mayo @ #49437: Sick game bro (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49429: Very good! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49428: Ooh, Malcolm, you're in a real bitchy mood tonight! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49425: Or maybe you could submit a grid of your own... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49425: Malcolm, some folks find that the crossovers and red herrings all get a bit "samey", time after time. I think it's great that new and varied formats are happening all the time. The original format gets tired and boring. If you don't like a grid, you don't have to complete it just so that you can bitch about it. Just move on and find one that you like. (3 years, 3 months ago)

PG @ #49414: Grid of the day (3 years, 3 months ago)

Observation @ #49429: not bad at all, I appreciate a little humour with grids ty (3 years, 3 months ago)

Observation @ #49427: Thanks Malcolm, have to agree with you with the tennis/food line. I was not really happy with it myself. As for Percival, did not need to research, and one should never ask a lady her age. I'm as old as my gums and a little older than my teeth as my Gran would say (3 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49428: Those aren't synonyms (3 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49425: I really don't like these gimmicky ones at all - so much so that I completed it so I could make this comment. What's wrong with the original format? I'd rather folks spent their time coming up with groups that had lots of crossovers and red herrings than this sort of toot. Once you spot the vowels are missing (i.e. immediately) it's rather simple to do the groups, so not a medium IMO (3 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #49427: Quite good, the wheeze should be the plural form to fit with the rest of the category; The tennis group is fine without trying to stretch the connection to food, which didn't really work that well anyway; Lancelot was also not quite aligned with the others in that group, for me, being part of one word rather a word in its own right. Fair play for Percival, though - you must be nearly as old as me, unless you just did a search, of course. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lasagnaman @ #49424: I didn't like that there were 2 number sets, and that Zero is included in the even numbers group. Zero isn't an even number. It doesn't divide by 2. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Clive @ #49418: Wrong OC round, methinks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Clive @ #49408: I agree with Ross. Odd explanation for the Do group... did you not realise these are common names for notes outside that particular context? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Isherwood @ #49415: Fixed! Thanks for catching that! (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47191: IBM is most certainly not defunct as a company, that's absurd. In 2004, IBM stopped making computers, selling that part of their business to Lenovo. This makes IBM, as far as manufacturing computers goes, defunct. (3 years, 3 months ago)

quodlibet @ #47191: IBM defunct? Is it too late to sell my stock? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #49407: 'Disparisvley' and 'Overberling' are not words. What about 'Comparison' and 'Hibernation'? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #49330: "Otherwise good," Joe? If you've never heard of a rainbow bridge, that's your lookout, not the puzzle-setter's. It's the name of several major bridges around the world, and it also appears as a landmark in Norse mythology. This is an excellent puzzle. I only got two categories on the clock, but I got all the connections afterwards. (3 years, 3 months ago)

gappy @ #49299: I've realised a gap in this: if you type any word with an O in it for one of the groups you'll be given the point! I guess it makes up for the fact that you could easily add the wrong synonym for "bear" and be denied. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48613: I only got 5/10, but this is a solid puzzle. The categories are tight and the generic words give plenty of red herring opportunities. The Ernest films are a nice touch. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48663: Nice puzzle! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #49212: "Remain words after removing the U" is not a solid word connection; it's almost as weak as "W appears as the second letter," which I saw in another puzzle on this site yesterday. It's a cheap shot, asking the solver to look for abstract properties rather than a tangible category. A good "word" category has a connection BEYOND asking the solver to do something arbitrary with the words, like remove a certain letter. For instance, in the most recent series (16) of Only Connect, this group was on a wall: August, Sacrament, Helen, Dove. Add one letter to the end of each of these, and you get a U.S. state capital. That's a tangible category -- once you do something to the words, there's an actual connection. "Remove the U from these four random words to get four new random words" is just B.S. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Allatt96 @ #49253: The roman numerals and homophones categories have an interchangeable. The 'I' and the 'C' could be switched and you would still have the same answer (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #17775: eurydice, what phonetic alphabet?? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #566: J, yes, the spaces are misleading, but that is based on the way the Missing Vowels round in the game show Only Connect (on which puzzgrid was based) is conducted. You need to work out the words while ignoring the spaces in the clue. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #49214: "Each word has W as the second letter" is a lame connection. I figured this category to be a word problem, and I guessed "each contains another word" (twee[t], sweat[er], [a]ward, own[er]) -- which fits and was even accepted merely because I'd used the word "word" in my answer. Even with that, I felt surely I was grasping at straws. But a certain letter recurs in a certain position? That really is grasping at straws for puzzle setting! (3 years, 3 months ago)

. @ #49185: confetti thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lux @ #49173: @ Maartjebabes: I'd actually agree that green isn't an ideal category in this instance, but it's more because I think the category with lots of red herrings has to reasonably obviously stick out as that category (so people can work out whether to use time bruteforcing it or not). Here, I think people have to figure out the meta-theme of the quiz first and then work backwards from the most distinctive features. In that sense, 'green' isn't ideal, because it's not as obvious as if your words were 'tree', 'lime', 'frog' etc. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #22500: Only sorted one group in the time - the June Spencer group. I ought to have got the Pisces group as it was obvious to me once the grid was resolved. Hadn't a clue on the other two though, even once the grid was sorted for me. Very good, very tricky. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #49180: I've just realised I made an idiot of myself. This grid is perfect and I solved it by accident. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #49180: Nice grid, and some fun red herrings. Chip and Face could be directly swapped between groups though, so there's more than one valid solution. If Face were hidden in another word or phrase, like the other keywords in its group, that wouldn't be an issue. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jmelb @ #49185: Yes thanks. Ironic that we are the open state-for a change! (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #49192: Enjoyable, but frustrating and annoying. Two really great groups, and some excellent/funny red herrings, but at least two items in the bezique and Xebeque groups were way too obscure - you must have used Wikipedia to find the most obscure things that fitted those categories. I could see what the two groups had to be, but there was no way anyone could know enough of them to sort the two groups without cheating. (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49174: Top grid, 5*, very enjoyable TY! (I'm gonna have to hold on a while to upload one of the grids I've made recently though! Great minds think alike...) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48731: Well done! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48746: I appreciate good red herrings, but this puzzle is total B.S. "Popular male names" is a pathetic category to puzzlers looking for meaningful connections. (Just how "popular" are they, anyway? I've never actually met anyone called Victor.) And all those names are also in the NATO alphabet, meaning that must be acceptable as their category too. So you've got two groups in the same category. That's not clever puzzle setting; it's just cheating. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48747: Folks are correct to point out the "Pokemon professors" group is also simply "trees." One category's existence doesn't preclude another's, especially when the other category preexists and is thus better known. Trees are older than Pokemon, in case you didn't know. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #44867: Excellent, diverse and cultured (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48806: Jeroboam, Melchizedek, Methuselah, and Solomon are all characters in the Old Testament. That should be accepted as a category answer *as well as* the champagne bottle sizes, not *instead of*, since one category's existence doesn't preclude another's. And since the Bible predates champagne by, oh, a few millennia. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lux @ #49166: I think that only 'lap' works as a synonym of lick. You can make one awkward word work, but not three, imo. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Igor @ #49135: I agree, Niven, or maybe you should have said gut, bun, or maybe bra. Great idea. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #49134: Nice puzzle. The Australian cities make a nice red herring, especially given the ship classes. I'd rank this wall a little harder than "hard," what with the *first* names of Maltese Falcon actors and the Australian navy ship classes, which are real stretches. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #49120: The "smith" category is ill conceived. Half of them are proper whole names, while the other half are professions. Willow Smith, Sam Smith, coppersmith, and locksmith -- how do those complete the category "___ Smith"? Answer: they don't. They complete two different categories, one "___ Smith" and the other "___smith." The other categories are at least fair, though "replace any one letter for an element" is, in my opinion, pretty weak. It's a bit too abstruse. A solid word connection is consistent, e.g. "replace the *first* letter for an element." (3 years, 3 months ago)

Love the 'Big' group and the Ex Machina group, which is so obvious when I look properly.The Godzilla group is a bit of a stretch, though once I picked the correct four, two of them together made the connection massively clear ( but only because I know that particular date in history).

dgms @ #48271: Okay. The structure was okay but dull - no red herrings, nothing that could have been in another group. Loved the trick in the Calamity Jane group, the Lorelei group was fun, but too obscure, the pumpernickel group was fun but too obvious, and the Clarissa group was too clever. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #44363: Nicely concealed. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Cockles @ #49131: Enjoyed that, even though I only got 5/10. Very clever. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Madvillain @ #49143: You're right with those 3 but admittedly I was reaching for the 4th to stay with the measurements theme. It's to do with singing telegrams, such as strippergram or kissogram! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ellie @ #49143: Got my 10 but also unsure on gram. 100cg = 1gram Grandma = gram? Pulses = gram (as in gram flour) But message????????????????? Please explain before I go bananas (3 years, 3 months ago)

George @ #49131: Extremely very good! (3 years, 3 months ago)

PG @ #49141: Grid of the day (3 years, 3 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49131: Very good (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #26817: Excellent, u r so clever (3 years, 3 months ago)

Essjay @ #49131: very enjoyable - clear and challenging at the same time (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49143: Likewise. Enjoyed it but no idea about the Pulses line... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Toferino @ #49131: Something a bit different! A refreshing change from Harry Potter, palindromes etc etc.... (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49131: Absolutely brilliant, loved it. Quality grid, 6 stars! (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49157: Tough but enjoyable. Didn't know some terms but managed to blag the groups! 5* TY (3 years, 3 months ago)

Josh25 @ #49139: Thanks, I corrected it. Hope you still enjoyed! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #49137: Good one but "Houston, we have a problem" IS the correct line from the film. It is a misquote of what was said in the real-life Apollo 13 event but this is a film grid, right? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Banditko @ #49111: Something different from the rest, but highly enjoyable. Great job. (3 years, 3 months ago)

VCM @ #49143: Enjoyed it. Cracked it but didn't understand gram (3 years, 3 months ago)

Verr @ #45607: Lovely grid, but hard (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #49139: Barnes. Just saying. (Made no difference, the rest was too clever for me anyway) (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #49131: Excellent, really liked it, thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #49137: Good, very enjoyable grid. Thanks. (3 years, 3 months ago)

jhope @ #49111: Fun grid, thanks. I don't think the ladybug one works though - the number of spots on a ladybug varies a lot and 2 spots, 7 spots and 10 spots are all common (3 years, 3 months ago)

jhope @ #49131: Love this, very clever! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49111: But that's worse! I don't know how many there are -oh, right. I guess I do now (3 years, 3 months ago)

Niven @ #49121: Agreed (3 years, 3 months ago)

Oren @ #49111: Thanks, I got rid of "Musical notes", it was a bad clue. It's now "Hannukka days". (3 years, 3 months ago)

DH @ #49122: Good fun (3 years, 3 months ago)

bloss @ #49111: fun! (3 years, 3 months ago)

CKJ @ #49111: Is the thumb a finger? Is Pluto not a planet again? Is “do” as in do re mi a different note than “do” as in “la ti do”? Doh! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Aliyahu @ #49120: Thanks for the suggestions! I'll make some adjustments. I'm still getting used to this style, some of my other, non-puzzgrid, work is better. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49109: Cake didn’t work as an answer! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Observation @ #49121: thanks Gridlington and Till E - hope you're good :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

PG @ #49125: Grid of the day (3 years, 3 months ago)

Till E @ #49121: Very nice (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49120: "Twelve" was just plain sloppy. It's 12 inches in a foot so inches should be the clue to be consistent. Contract and Will are both legal documents that are usually said to be "drawn up". Okay, but "laugh" and "blank" would be better for variety. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #49121: Very nice. A little frustrating when you have to look things up while the clock is ticking, but still, very good! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49096: Nice one, didn't get the Tuatara line Liked your username 😉 Thanks for posting (3 years, 3 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #49111: Agree with the others. 8 notes just wrong - unless you specify in an octave. It's either 7 or 12 if you include sharps and flats, or infinite (3 years, 3 months ago)

Freddgar @ #49097: Nice one, knew the nicknames. Failed on the other 2 lines, liked the Books line 😁 Thanks for posting (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48970: 6/10 - Would not have guessed that about the Broncos! Niche is fine- the clue was in the name after all (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49111: It's a nice concept, the execution in places felt a little off (8 notes in particular I felt highly dubious- yes there's 8 in a scale but 2 of.them are the same and if not then there are... more than 8). You could say that's red herrings but idont think that's how they should work. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Sib @ #49113: not connections (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ade @ #49087: Good grid. Thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #49097: OK, a, well maybe you learned something, which is always enjoyable on Puzzgrid, and just for the future, a wiide breadth of general knowledge is always helpful on this site too. No-one can know everything however, and typically we aren't rude about it. Sorry you didn't like it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

a @ #49097: suck on that, never heard of any of those nicknames (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joshua @ #48984: First, the titles of the films are The Kid, The Thunderstorm, and The Wrecking Crew. "The." It's not fair to assume the reader will identify these films without that word. Second, Bruce Lee was not actually *in* The Wrecking Crew. He choreographed its fight scenes but had no screen time. So it's simply incorrect to call it a "Bruce Lee film." (3 years, 3 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #49087: Great fun. Ty for posting. (3 years, 3 months ago)

UStralian @ #49047: yeah, except hectometres aren't really used. More generally, (and more correctly), they're all prefixes of metric units. They do all precede Litre in common usage, so Victoria would probably give you points for that. (3 years, 3 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #49093: Three years of high school German 35 years ago, my teacher would be proud 10/10 😊 Nice grid! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #25757: Very easy, but it was unique. I liked it. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49058: Because of course you did. Have the point (3 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #49015: Excellent grid, thanks. Was also foiled by the Bays line (3 years, 3 months ago)

Essjay @ #49040: really enjoyable. i went woefully but enjoyed trying! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #49058: Where you halved the numbers, I said double those in the clue to get the song titles, same difference so gave myself the point. Nice idea though. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #49037: Gridchecker..... That is the whole point (3 years, 3 months ago)

gappy @ #49029: Hi dgms, thanks for playing. "Screen of death" is idiomatically what you see on a broken computer or similar. "Group of death" is a term in sports championships, especially football. The final matches of the Euros "group of death" were played last night, which gave me the idea for the whole wall. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #49037: Not unique... so many could be swapped. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridchecker @ #49037: All could be up (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #49036: I was well aware that 'capillory' was a misspelling/not a real word. The word itself is irrelevant - it's there purely there to hide the word I wanted in that group of four, and the misspelling works as an extra hint to what's going on with that group. I find it incomprehensible that i some people are making a big deal of it, when the fact that it's a misspelling makes the solution more obvious, rather than more obscure. Should all anagrams in the anagrams group have been real, correctly spelled, words too? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Roy @ #49033: (3 years, 3 months ago)

Roy @ #48936: (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridchecker @ #49036: capillary (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ragman @ #49036: It would help if capillory was a word... (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #49036: Not bad, nice groups,but a bit simplistic,no red herrings, nothing that could belong in more than one set. Looked impossible,at first, like a random jumble of words, but after getting one group, by guessing which ones must have something hidden, and which had to be anagrams, getting the others was really pretty easy. Working out the connections was more difficult. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Krista @ #48973: Just right. Good red herrings. (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49010: I've read it. "Problematic" is a semantic term for extra challenging in regards to having even two or three clues that can cross over into other categories. It can be what makes a puzzle that is initially a "stand and stare" so satisfying when you eliminate certain combinations. The 16 clicks and you're done grids may have their fans. They're fun, too. But there's a reason that the hard and fiendish descriptions exist. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Steph @ #48995: I've always thought of Admiral Ackbar as having orange skin, I think you could make an argument for him fitting into either the orange or red category, which slightly spoils the quiz for me. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dogma @ #49016: I considered that, but thought that was too many fore/for/four homophones,that I might get confused about where fore and for belonged and I really liked all four things in that group. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49017: Yeah fair enough. That's Wikipedia for you. I'll edit it when I have the time (3 years, 3 months ago)

Al @ #49010: David, there's a difference between a red herring and multiple correct solutions. Take a look at "One Correct Solution" on the About page. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #49017: Survivor don't fit in that category as they weren't a one hit wonder! What about 'Burning Heart', made #5 in the UK, plus loads of charting singles in the US. (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #49010: Can we please have an end to clueless people pointing out what a red herring is? WE KNOW there are "swappable items" That's where the challenge comes. Otherwise, it's just four clearly delineated lists. Fool Moron Imbecile Cretin See how obvious that is? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #49015: Very good (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #49016: The helping group should have "Fore" in it.... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Originally, Captain Mainwaring was going to be Marengo, but then I thought that was too many directly related to the historical figure, rather than just the name. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Just rate it as easy and move on, no need to leave a snotty comment. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #48990: Didn't like (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48991: Me: Locutus and 7, in that's obvious Also me... now where does Björn fit? Agree Notre Dame was a bit tenuous, but a good grid nonetheless (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #48980: Grange Hill isn't on the Piccadilly Line, it's on the Central Line. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48990: Struggled with the crossovers and missed the WTP one altogether. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Fred Fish @ #48991: Good all round grid. A couple of issues. Firstly, I think the Notre Dame link is a bit tenuous and secondly......you missed my favourite out by not including the wonderful Pat and Margaret :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48984: Adding -ire to affa gives you one french word among three english. Acqu would be better. Also "Tolkien" should have been accepted as it's a central character in The Hobbit but not so much in LOTR. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #48964: It's Anthony Michael Hall, not Michael Anthony Hall.

Curious @ #48890: Good Observation, thanks. I have long thought that Puzzgrid should have an Enjoyment rating. Then I can mark down my enjoyment when there's sport, GoT, modern music etc., while still being happy to mark up the quality. 'Quality' covers different things to different people - that's maybe fine but your grid disappears from the main view if it's marked too low. (3 years, 3 months ago)

James @ #21280: absolutely clever red herring. the obvious answer makes the other groups obvious answers once you know the obvious answer isn't it (3 years, 3 months ago)

Observation @ #48890: @ Curious - the setter initially sets the "difficulty" rating, and if wise will play the grid first and select 5*. Subsequent players assess the grid subjectively and will apply marks according to their own preferences. It is not always easy to differentiate between quality [i.e. construction, subject matter and style of puzzle] and personal enjoyment. Plus you will always get mean spirited trolls who like to mark grids down. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Curious @ #48890: Why is this marked so low in quality? Is it being marked down twice for being so easy? It has a (correct) rating of 'Difficilty: Easy' - that's fine. Yes, it has 4 straight groups with no clever tricks - is that the reason? But many hard/er grids, with no red herrings or crossovers, are not marked down in this way. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #5053: Clever (3 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #7138: Tried but I’m not as clever as Jed only got two (3 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #48561: Fraught (correct spelling) rather spoils that group and it's a shame you couldn't find another word ending with the ow sound and had to go with doughtiness. A nice idea, but didn't quite pull it off. (3 years, 3 months ago)

ER @ #391: Aristotle was not a scientist. Did you mean Archimedes? (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lux @ #48820: VCM - reworded as 'animals that can be pets' to be more specific ('mammal' and 'animal' are also accepted) Sib - Sound out 'Eh' like the Canadians Thanks for the feedback all. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48833: glad you hated it :-) (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48831: Bit too obscure for me. I guessed one group but got no further (3 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #48825: Nice, fun grid. Got there despite a mental block which insisted to the end that you meant Judy Finnigan. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48832: fred@fish.com, either be constructive with criticism or say nothing. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48825: Very easy but very enjoyable! TY (3 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #48792: The Vesper group got me! Thanks for the great grid (3 years, 3 months ago)

Jo @ #48814: If you look back a bit, it has been done by several others. (3 years, 3 months ago)

dgms @ #48822: Made sense, no possible swaps between groups, and a few good red herrings, but the structure was a bit basic - two groups based on the same sort of general knowledge, and two groups based on the same kind of wordplay. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #48820: Nice one!! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Ellie @ #48810: You really need to do better with your answers. I mean "golfing" but not "golf"? "Canines" but not "dogs". Loony, frankly ;) (3 years, 3 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #48818: What's the deal with your answers. I put exactly what you say the answer is and it was still marked incorrect. Also those are track events, not field events. (3 years, 3 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48814: Just trying something a little different for me with this one for a bit of fun, hopefully it's something approaching alright... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48722: Nice one. I like these cryptic ones (3 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48794: Excellent! I love this sort of grid! It's a test of logic and reasoning rather than a test of whether you've watched Game of thrones, Harry Potter, etc. More cryptic ones like this please! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48790: One or two issues with this one. A regent is not a female title - it's anybody (male or female) who is standing in for the Monarch because they are ill, too young, etc. And those aren't homophones of food - they ARE the food. Homophoness would be current, pair, leak and bury. Still enjoyed it though... (3 years, 3 months ago)

paul @ #48746: Cop out with the male names (all are also NATO words). And Life and Simon are not the names of games... (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48798: Tricky but brilliant. 5* (3 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySue @ #48805: Brilliant - caught me out completely on the marine animals and elements! Thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

JohnK @ #48805: Clever grid! Enjoyed it (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dgms @ #48734: Having two groups of female figures from Greek myths is tricksy and smug, and the Greek letters, were bit obvious . I liked the Tourette's group though, the groups did make sense, with no possible swaps, and it was nice to find a grid that isn't basically a football and pop music quiz, which is just deadly boring. (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48802: Diana Ross is misspelled. Vehicle is properly pronounced with an audible "h". See "vehicular". Sloppy, I'm afraid. (3 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #48761: Never thought I'd see Belding (pop. 5,757) referenced in a grid. If I didn't have relatives there, no way would I have heard of it! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Cat Stevens @ #8815: Very good. Anyone complaining needs to do one!! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48751: Bit disappointed not to get the point for "Lilac treacle battle", probably means I can't type (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lucy b @ #48752: Lovely, good fun. Thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

paul @ #48791: Nice idea, but the categories are a bit unconvincing .. those words are not specific to politics or mercy. Also, a double entry... (3 years, 3 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48791: Just a bit of fun. You may have award yourself points as answers categories are a bit quirky. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #357: I found it tough but managed 10/10 with just 27 sec to spare. Thanks! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #28660: Nice theme. I only got the connect of the last group by guessing 'sister' after knowing the connections of the other groups. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Feza @ #31518: Tough but fair except that it did not accept "... man's name". (3 years, 3 months ago)

Julia @ #48772: cool (3 years, 3 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48767: Fair point Lucy B, I've mixed the grid up more now. Hope you play it again and enjoy it a wee bit more! Thank you (3 years, 3 months ago)

bob @ #48741: crap! One out of ten. The worst grid I have ever played (3 years, 3 months ago)

Propane Man @ #14630: Five star quality just for the descriptions! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Henry @ #27475: Fun grid. Thank you. (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lucy b @ #48767: Very enjoyable, only quibble is the separation of authors by gender rather than by genre which is what I was searching for a link on. Think doing it by genders makes it a less groovy grid. But thank you I enjoyed trying (3 years, 3 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48767: Really enjoyed this one (3 years, 3 months ago)

Lucy b @ #47523: Brilliant Great fun, love your grids Thanks (3 years, 3 months ago)

CKJ @ #48747: I have to agree with SonJonath. (3 years, 3 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48747: you can't have a group of trees and expect "Pokemon professor" to be the given answer. (3 years, 3 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48746: This would be really good if "popular male names" were not an incredibly broad, boring category that no one will guess and no one will enjoy guessing. Also the NATO alphabet spelling of Juliett has two T's (so that the French will pronounce it the same as everyone else), so "Juliet" doesn't match. (3 years, 3 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48731: for a very hard grid this was fantastic (3 years, 3 months ago)

SonJonath @ #48714: mediocre clever idea to have the four anagrams all be in one group so that a three year old could play along (3 years, 3 months ago)

Poohbear @ #48701: Should accept ‘article’ for the ‘the’ group (as it’s the correct term). Also really don’t understand the homophone group - it’s the same ‘ow’ sound in each word but they aren’t actually homophones (3 years, 3 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48714: Very nice! (3 years, 3 months ago)

Dgms @ #48724: Good grid, but including Diana as a Greek god is an error that made it unsolvable as well as invalid. Diana is what the Romans called Artemis. (3 years, 3 months ago)

david A garcia @ #46422: "TubthumING" is the name of the song. Champagne and Cognac don't work in the same way as the other choices. Berliner and Frankfurter would have been better. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Auditorious @ #48598: Don't know why this has been marked down. Very good puzzle. TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Auditorious @ #46413: Point of order: Seville & Valencia are both types of orange and both are also Spanish cities. Thus they ARE interchangeable and NOT red-herrings. There is no unique solution which is a necessity for a valid puzzle. (3 years, 4 months ago)

HavingAGo @ #48567: Cheers stjohn! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Pembroke, Exeter, Lincoln, Durham (Cathedral cities, would leave Hertford unpaired though unless you did oxford colleges, which would leave Clare ungroupable). (3 years, 4 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48585: Very entertaining TY. Keep them coming. I got the non-humans easily enough (although my abbreviated answer w/o the verbal element was not allowed), but the others were really tough. The Librarian line raised a few chuckles. I missed the Simnel line (pun intended) by thinking of the son rather than the father. (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #42399: Yes boys, they're called "red herrings" and they are what makes the puzzle a puzzle and not something out of Highlights magazine. (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #46413: you must stand corrected. They are not interchangeable. That is, in fact, a textbook red herring and a necessity to a satisfying puzzle. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sluggardo @ #48529: Too hard for me! I liked the word group (didn’t get it though - or any of the others either…) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48475: lockdown i think its kind of a joke that u r supporting drinking alcohol on this platform if ur gonna do it at least pick something classy like chambord (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48488: i think you'll find X that BB King is a female singer if you think of it in a broader sense because no one is really just male or female anymore it's all about energies, you just have to be open to it (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48471: I have just played it again, and I think it could really do with some improvements. For starters, who is that well acquainted with apples? Does anyone even eat apples these days.. you probably could have gone with some better beaches too, Bondi is disgustingly crowded (3 years, 4 months ago)

wild_bio @ #48497: @TheCount That was a concern - numbers can have a lot in common and there is nearly always a way to link any group of then. I'll have a play with it based on your suggestions. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48495: Nice. Made one of these with (Ithink) ICQ and T a while back, but can't find it damnit (3 years, 4 months ago)

X @ #48495: Enjoyed this one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

TheCount @ #48497: Number grids are a pleasing alternative and your solution has a neatness to it. Unfortunately the nature of numbers allow you to group them is many ways. Another solution is 1 prime factor (3 97 199 237), 2 prime factors (55 69 231 289), 3 prime factors (18, 30, 66, 99) and multiples of 4 (4 36 64 100) ... or ... What about going for multiples of 6 (18 30 36 66)? Then the given group that contains 99 will absorb the leftovers (and 2 of your groups are unchanged). (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48482: Cherry and mahogany could be swapped imto each others' groups. (3 years, 4 months ago)

wild_bio @ #48497: No idea if this one's a bit too off-the-wall... but though I might as well put it out there! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48282: Loved it. Too good to be the insomnia cure I was looking for. Not many points cos I always had cold.neck with the other flighty creatures. Also I go to black park every day and it has a lake - very hard to get that out of my head. Yes, there are swans on the lake, we even had a black swan last year - quite a migration!

Fi @ #4153: On behalf of precise, non-lazy people, we totally disagree with the complaints from lazy, imprecise whingers being posted. To be imprecise is to be incorrect. If you failed to specify 'surnames' in 'Harry Potter characters' surnames', or 'contain' in 'contain animals' your answer is too imprecise and therefore wrong.

Dgms @ #48402: Good fun. Feels a bit too complicated and too easy all at the same time. The links are easy once the grid is sorted, and they're not too hard to spot in the unsorted grid, but with every box being a double clue, it takes ages to read them, and remembering what the answer for each box is, THEN seeing how it fits with other boxes you've solved, is another skill in itself. It becomes a memory game, not a quiz and logic puzzle. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mark @ #48372: One of the best grids I've done for a while. Tricky, but enjoyable. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48395: Proper tough grid - I couldn't get any but saw Tea and Milk before the end! I had no idea what Nazi Soup was, give you the benefit of the doubt there as you're not relying on anorak level knowledge elsewhere. Well done (3 years, 4 months ago)

lockdown @ #48375: Enjoyed it TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

lockdown @ #48319: You'll 'weather' it Jackslack : D (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48372: Excellent grid, it's rare that this variant is this good (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48379: Should be marked as easy. (3 years, 4 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #48313: Excellent!Thanks for posting. (3 years, 4 months ago)

joey @ #27513: ovary concert isn't an anagram of conservatory. Shame, because other than that it's a great grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #48308: Sinatra and Co were The RAT Pack. The Brat Pack was Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez etc from 1980s. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Matt @ #48313: Good grid. Lose the is as not needed and not in the answer - was it a typo? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48372: Yes it is similar to 48282. Coincidence! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridchecker @ #48372: 48282 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Steve tass @ #48341: Liked it,6 points (3 years, 4 months ago)

christo @ #48345: Loved it. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48372: Keep it up with these unique grids :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

J @ #48354: You spelled several clues incorrectly: it's BalThazar and Shun Gon (no "a"). Might want to correct those. Otherwise, fun puzzle! (3 years, 4 months ago)

kiwi @ #28219: not that hard (3 years, 4 months ago)

Terri @ #48303: anything with Tom Hardy - gets my vote! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #48311: Oh no, I'm not accepting the authors' initials as a valid group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48314: Nice, but tough, thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #48305: Thanks. Yes I found the music slow to load this time. I’ve done quite a few before without this issue. Not sure why it’s like this this time. Anyway - glad you enjoyed it @gridlington (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48320: Very nice, thank you for the edit! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48318: Nice, thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48330: Thanks! Yeah, it was a gameshow stunt in the 1950s. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48331: I love anagrams, thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #48319: Oof, you ruined me, ruined. That Hayes decoy was *chef’s kiss*. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48319: Very nice grid, thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48320: For the capital category, I get that Singapore and Luxembourg work. However, Mexico and Guatemala don't because you have to ADD city. If you have to add or subtract something, how can they be the SAME? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48319: Hi bloss! Here we go again. (aka lockdown) (3 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #48319: Hi from Melb lockdown! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48305: Super TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

lockdown @ #48317: nice ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean Riley @ #48317: I think the connecting words need work. I know it's tough because it's a clue (honestly, I think 'blue' should have been removed as a clue as a result) but "blue" is an obvious guess in that category for the answer, and 'red' is on the pink category, as well. Also, is 'school' somehow incorrect for the top category? I think you may have 'schools' but not 'school'. Or maybe I typo'd. It's possible. But do check. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #48258: The streets are real streets that just happen to be also on a Monopoly board. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48313: Black and Red is a song title, so Black and Blood could be swapped with either Dark Velvet or Deep Sea (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48312: Nice easy one, but fun thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

Steve tass @ #48291: Good ideas (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #48304: I don't think the blunderbuss could be termed a medieval weapon, even given the nebulous nature of the term (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48141: Nice easy one thanks. Paul, it doesn't matter that a killer whale is not a whale - "killer whale" is still the phrase so it fits the group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #48304: deja vu. Was this an accidental repost? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48310: Like the Abba one! Good grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #48295: good grid, the curtains were very challenging. But please use singulars (door, weapon, curtain) in your linking words - they trap the plurals as well. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48305: Wow! That was tough at first. The music took aaaaages to load. It definitely needs the 10 minutes instead of 3, but I solved the grid with 3 mins to spare. Nice idea and a novel grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48220: Golden Grahams are a cereal. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #48297: A little bit niche, but a niche I was comfortable in, so I don't really care. (3 years, 4 months ago)

kiwi @ #48141: no too difficult (3 years, 4 months ago)

kiwi @ #48288: think islands, thermal springs, glaciers, bays (3 years, 4 months ago)

rjj @ #48149: "Water" in Russian is "вода" (not "Vodka.") "Vodka" in Russian is водка. Nice puzzle! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48310: Nice grid! I guess I need to brush up on my ABBA knowledge. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kazza K @ #48268: Nice grid. Would be good if the number 6 as opposed to the word six would give a correct answer too!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #48303: Cool (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #48268: Cool (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #48297: Fun, thanks. Some enjoyably obscure ones in there. (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #48300: Your groups are a bit off. Red is a shade of red? Pinot etc etc (3 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #48291: Fleet wasn't. Let's be honest, collective nouns of animals has been done to death. I was trying a different angle. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #48158: Great stuff! Look forward to seeing more from you in the future!!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #48236: Great stuff! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48291: Never even considered bouquet, damnit... the rest were animals (3 years, 4 months ago)

quodlibet @ #29423: Iceberg, not iceburg (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roy @ #48285: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48271: Bit tricky if you don't know every film by those two actors, but it all fits together pretty well, and I can't see any other solutions for the grid, like there sometimes are, when answers could be swapped with each other. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48274: Good grid, but I'd disagree about Tsunami being in that group - some people pronounce the T, so it's not definitively a silent letter. (3 years, 4 months ago)

verasteine @ #48236: Ran out of time but spotted the groups. Nicely done! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48271: Good, enjoyed it TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jimmy @ #48180: this was amazing!1 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stephen Toyshop @ #48275: A beautiful grid, well done Sluggardo. The coil group took me back to my A level English! Nice. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Igor @ #48281: Can swap Pigeon and Chicken. Can swap Chair with Sofa. Your answer was the easy, obvious one so no problem finding it. TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #21293: Honey works as a secretion. Silk might be a better fit than web. Good work, though. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cockles @ #48259: Great grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48274: "Rageous" rather gives the game away... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48239: Good, but Alderney was also a breed of cattle, so could be swapped with Jersey. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48250: Nice grid - only got 7/10, as I couldn't quite get the last two groups sorted in time. You might want to tweak the acceptable keywords on the 'ization' group, to accept 'ize', 'ise' and 'isation' (those last two are the English English spellings), as they all work with those words. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #29738: The Hugh Laurie one was ridiculously obscure given he made a single guest appearance on Friends and two uncredited ones on Spooks. "TV show" should have been an acceptable answer. "Magic" should be an acceptable answer for the magicians row. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #38037: Not being familiar with Inspector Morse, I kept trying to fit Hercule Poirot in. So the Disney group was very clever. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #33032: The words in the Clue row are also all colours, which is what I thought the connection was (even though one of the other rows were also more particular colours). (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #12924: I should know by now, from having watched Only Connect and University Challenge, that you really need to know your kings and queens of Britain... (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #41610: I recognised 15 of the 16 themes but got no rows. :-( (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #40779: The media controls row doesn't accept "media" as the answer. The power plug row doesn't accept "media" as the answer (3 years, 4 months ago)

Shakes Spears @ #48236: Very good - Loved the overlaps (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #48242: Good! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Igor @ #48239: A solid, traditional (whatever that means) grid. A few red herrings and all general knowledge categories. A winner! (3 years, 4 months ago)

J Silberman @ #48237: Probably a well worn idea. Here's my effort. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #48233: Good! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #48232: Not unique. Minerva/Luna could be swapped with Pomona. (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #39063: Good job. "Synonyms" works on Only Connect. It should work consistently here. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #48231: Rubbish.. trying to be too clever... (3 years, 4 months ago)

THE CREATOR OF THIS GRID MUST BE SOME SORT OF HAWKING- LEVEL GENIUS BECAUSE ONLY SOMEONE AT HIS LEVEL COULD PRODUCE SOMETHING AT THIS LEVEL OF BRILLIANCE. ANYONE WHO CRITICISES ANYTHING ABOUT IT MUST BE LACKING BRAIN CELLS AND NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THEIR LIFE DECISIONS. Thank you Mr creator. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48199: Nice Grid! The capital category is specific to capital cities of US states, not just capital cities; I typed that in and got the point. Hope that helps. (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #48199: Please capitalize all the words in the grid Please put "capital" in the link for group two. Perhaps you used the plural? It rejected "capital cities" (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48218: Tough grid, although some connections a bit spurious (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #48121: Skip the guest stars, eh? (3 years, 4 months ago)

UStralian @ #48168: Please add "synonym" to the link list for group 2, and "homophone" for group 3. Group 4 is pretty low quality - Gucci is obscure, bang puts the link is a different place to the others. Also...try to make it something you'd let your mum solve. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gary Middleton @ #48071: Loved the past tense group. Very clever. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #14224: The number of red herrings was good, if frustrating (which, I suppose, is their purpose). But I think it would have been more elegant if the dance row had also been a wordplay one (like the other three), rather than a definition one. Or, alternatively, if there had been four different methods for the four different rows, instead of one methods for three rows, and another for the fourth. Still, you're my favourite puzzle designer on this site. Really like that you provide detailed explanations of the answers, and how you often have an overall theme that ties the entire puzzle together. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #14357: Fiendish, until you cotton on to what's required. I don't think the sports row really worked, as the letters are not common or standardised abbreviations for the sports in question. Making the link between an abbreviation to a sport and then to the number of players is a bridge too far IMO. Also, the solfege row should accept "notes". (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48153: Are you serious???? (3 years, 4 months ago)

WhatThe @ #27382: Great wall. But please provide more detailed explanations. Managed to work out all four connections (in each case using only two clues to make the connection, so obviously didn't solve any rows). But in the case of mustard, still don't understand how the "cut * expected standard" and "jack bythe hedge garlic*" clues work. And in the case of colonel, still don't understand how the "bogey" clue works. (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48112: Good fun, as always. 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #48103: Great grid 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

Scumpy jack @ #48103: Some really laboured ones there (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48112: Yay! 10/10. Nice grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #48092: Fun and clever. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #48084: Good grid. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #48083: Nice grid. Thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

Morgan @ #47947: Good wall, but I should be able to say "flies" for the category "___Fly" (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #48098: Had us stumped, but a very elegant grid. Ty. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48103: Veeeery nice! I had to keep restarting - couldn't do it in 3 mins, (3 years, 4 months ago)

Wendy @ #48103: Could have done with more time. Got the themes but needed more time to solve the individual clues (3 years, 4 months ago)

Donna @ #48084: Nice one (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #47895: Never heard of star lord or go long. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #48090: absolute drivel (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48103: Took me almost three times the time limit to get it. I saw what the groups were fairly quickly, but solving all the clues and remembering/re-solving them on each attempt at assembling a group took ages. (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #48098: Good grid. Hard but fair, thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48103: Hey everyone, i recommend refreshing the site before the time limit runs out once or twice, giving you 6 or 9 minutes to solve the grid, as it takes a bit of time to work out. (3 years, 4 months ago)

quodlibet @ #48024: I missed everything on the first round, but saw all the connections on the second round. Well done! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #48103: Excellent but needs more time to complete than is allowed here. Each of these categories would be good as a connections round question in its own right. Mind you, there are many smarter people than me on the site. (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #48091: Can't say I agree with 2 of the groups but hey-ho I'm no fashion historian (3 years, 4 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48090: Horse (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #48092: Enjoyed it. David Jason characters a bit tricky! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #48057: Nice grids. Thanks. Makes a refreshing change to some of the rubbish we see on here. Did all of your grids and the connections were all logical. Thanks again (3 years, 4 months ago)

sib @ #48103: Very enjoyable but more time needed :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kazza K @ #48103: I love this type of grid :) To get ‘Uni’ it should be Higher Education, not Further... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe M. @ #47419: I think a better way to describe the connection between drill, beam, tile, and plank would be "things used in construction." (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #48060: So good! TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48099: Fun wordplay TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47947: As Juno and Diana are both large asteroids, a solar system, or medium sized objects orbiting the sun discovered before 1883, would also be corrct (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48093: Nice connections, although geographic was repeated (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #48088: Cheers! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48092: Fun TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48082: Enjoyed TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48078: Playing my song - TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48073: Good ty (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48083: Very nice grid, thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #48072: Nice. Got the Putin group quickly, then wasted 3 minutes looking for the Miranda Hart connection! (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #48069: Ich spreche kein Deutsch, aber es war spaß! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sluggardo @ #48085: Very good. Did quite badly but kicked myself when I saw the answers NB small typo in Phoenix (3 years, 4 months ago)

Doc Filth @ #27560: I got those really quickly, and loved them, but they were all in the same niche. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Caz @ #767: Ridiculous (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #31580: Easy enough to solve, and I got all ten points, but there's no such thing as a monkey tree, it's a monkey PUZZLE tree, so that group doesn't hand together, and the five classical elements are usually aether, earth, water, fire and air, not wind. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Victorf @ #48034: Alright but a bit weak for a 'Grid of the day'. The red herring was a rather obvious red. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MK @ #48034: Great red herring category! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #32939: I got 10/10, and it's a nice grid, but juice isn't a homophone for deuce, if you pronounce it correctly. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #48034: Very well done. And almost very well done to me, Mr Chaplin tripped me up at the last. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #48050: Nice, logical grid. Unfortunately, COOL and SETTLE could be swapped between their two groups. There's only supposed to be one valid way for the puzzle to be solved, so it can be done by knowledge band logic, rather than just lucky guessing. 'SETTLE' needs to be changed for something that can't go with 'DOWN', or 'COOL' needs to be changed for something that doesn't mean 'CALM', to avoid having two directly interchangeable answers and therefore two equally valid solutions. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Busman @ #48040: Nice to do an Aussie one. Thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #47999: dissection? That's not correct. This spoils the good feeling of having solved the grid. Good grid though (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #12437: A respectable shoal of red herrings here :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #16089: Brilliant (3 years, 4 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48028: Hi everyone, just wanted to say that Marshall is my brother and his comment was an in joke, thank you for your concern nonetheless! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Victorf @ #48000: Species contains 'p'. Won't that do? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47895: Nice grid. Thank you. Think Marshall only knows one word. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #48028: Agree with Ellie and gridlington. Perhaps you should try to construct a grid of your own Marshall. (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #48041: kuiper? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #48018: Amazing (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #48036: Up can apply to at least 9 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48037: Fun! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #48028: The double-letters one was a bit weak but otherwise a good run-around. You might perhaps allow "collective" as these groupings are usually known as collective nouns (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #48034: I just couldn't dig up that last category. Nice Shakespearean misdirections though :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48034: Did this one in 24 seconds, never knew about charlie Chaplin's body though. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48034: Didn't know that about the bodies! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48031: The palindrome thing has been a bit done to death, tbh. (Chipmunk, with a U) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48000: How about you look up the word specie in a dictionary? Then you wouldn't look stupid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47999: I would have said that a pirate said "Arr!" not "Aye". A sailor must say 'aye' instead of 'yes' (3 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #48028: That's a bit unkind Marshall! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #47928: drivel (3 years, 4 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #48030: D to the R to the IVEL (3 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #48025: The broken stones that go into making roads are called "metal". You'll hear of "metalled roads where there used to be just dirt tracks". (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48006: Its all north of me : D (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #27627: Impossible to sort the professions from the Ipswich Town players without actually knowing all the players names. I was trying to sort out a group of surnames that are also professions, as seven of the eight (all except Woodsman, which isn't a surname I've heard) from those two groups fitted in that category, but I couldn't get another group that excluded any more of them. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #47895: DRIVEL MATE (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #27628: I can't believed I didn't get the Wembley group! Great grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Marshall Donnelly @ #48028: Absolute DRIVEL! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #27635: Not sure what in the 'bedroom' group is supposed to indicate it's bedroom rather than any other anagram that we're looking for as the connection, but apart from that, good grid. I suppose the 'e in boardroom' clue kind of does, but as you don't always put anagram indicators in the clues where letters need rearranging, that could easily be any anagram of bedroom/boredom (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48017: Very nice grid, although 'insects' should really be good enough. The wasp section particularly nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #48023: Really nice grid, especially liked the trump family red herrings. I had to check on the videos from that Russian hotel to see if 'Red banana' was a thing from the ex pres / future con (3 years, 4 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47999: One is an Aye. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48029: The 2 non surname groups are a bit imopossible I think. I got 6 thanks to a lucky guess (3 years, 4 months ago)

JimAndTonic @ #48029: As someone who knows very little about literature i think 4 is a respectable score. Thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

jimmi @ #29613: oh past jimmi what were you thinking with this grid?! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #27657: Nice grid - didn't get the Chinese inventions group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #48023: Barron is Donald Trump's son, part of the Trump family red herring group! (Ivanka, Eric, Barron, Tiffany) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Josh @ #45713: In reply to ABC: Yes, he was, but the candy bar was named after Ruth Cleveland, the president's daughter. Check out the wiki article. This was a great quiz! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #27651: Nice, fairly straightforward, basic grid, but Brown and Gladstone can be swapped directly with each other, between the Prime Minister group and the Bags group - in fact, I'd say Brown really doesn't belong with the bags, while Gladstone could go in either group so should be in the Bag group, not the PMs group. That's not just a red herring, it means there are two valid solutions and it's down to pure luck/mind reading if someone solves the grid, as I did. (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #48000: Yeah I don't see how species contains a word for money (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #48025: Nice grid but I'm not sure how 'broken stone' fits into metal/mettle, only got that right through luck (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #27664: Finland isn't Scandinavia. It's not part of the Scandinavian peninsula and it's language isn't in the Scandinavian language family - it's Uralic and unrelated to Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. That said, it was the only group and connection I got. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Will @ #47991: 11/10 if I could. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48011: Love the way it all resolves in Yoda speak. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Obscurious @ #48006: Erm - Nottingham? (3 years, 4 months ago)

sib @ #47991: Really good grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #48023: Nice grid. The hidden transport group is quite a popular one at the moment. ("Baron" only has one R by the way) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ersatz @ #48000: Good grid! Pretty difficult. I’m having trouble finding the money word in “species” (3 years, 4 months ago)

Igor @ #48018: Nice theme but I don't know London well enough. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Igor @ #48014: Nicely constructed. Although I don't know enough about the connections to score anything! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #47991: good! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #48017: Fleas don't fly Flea, the common name for the order Siphonaptera, includes 2,500 species of small flightless insects that survive as external parasites of mammals and birds.(WikiFleadia) 😉 Other than that, good grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Steven Elliott @ #47999: Great grid, although I would have said the Sailor says 'eye,' the Pirate probably says 'arh' instead which put me in the direction of homophones around the letter 'r'. Still full marks from me. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Freddgar @ #47991: As per HarryRae Absolutely wizard (3 years, 4 months ago)

pwfk fan @ #47992: Calm down Mr T. Pity the fool..... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #7751: Frustrating. Saw what all the groups were within about ten seconds, but there were too many alternatives for each one, so I couldn't keep track of what I'd already tried, so failed to sort one single group. If my knowledge of US state capitals and US space programmes were more encyclopaedic, maybe I'd have had a chance. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #7771: Good grid, deceptively difficult to sort out even though 'speach' being a misspelling gave the game away about its being part of a 'hidden word' group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #7361: Good grid, nice and logical, but with enough red herrings to stop it being completely obvious. However, it's Elle not El Macpherson. I can forgive 'forhead', as I'm always mixing up the spellings of Forebear and Forbear. (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #47999: some of the explanations aren't quite right, but good grid anyway! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #29451: Clever, as usual, struggled with positional propositions a bit (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #48006: Nah then and I'll sithee :-) (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47991: Wizard! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #48006: lol tough one (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #48006: *homage to my northern mates : ) (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #48004: Nice, just the right amount of red herrings (sturgeons) (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47999: Excellent grid! thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #48000: Nice grid, thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

pseudandry @ #47927: Loved it - missed the last connection (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47924: Nice grid, golden sombrero and platoon are new to me; very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

Adam & Amanda @ #32815: Nice mix of categories (3 years, 4 months ago)

Charles IV @ #47924: I don't like baseball get it outta hereeeeeeeee (3 years, 4 months ago)

Charles IV @ #47994: Tally pip, my good sir! I do love those Story songs! (3 years, 4 months ago)

THE REAL SOUTHSOUTH @ #47995: WHO IS IMPERSONATING ME IN THE COMMENT SECTION (3 years, 4 months ago)

>Rads @ #47995: i'm starting to think you aren't even a real porpoise (3 years, 4 months ago)

southsouth @ #47995: too powerful for meeee (3 years, 4 months ago)

>Rads @ #47994: 3/10! Confounded once again by superior wit! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sonny Bono and Cher @ #47994: Good one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47897: Next time you cross the street don't bother looking (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47992: Well imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I Found this quite easy, probably because I was LITERALLY FIVE MINUTES from posting my own grid with Botticelli's birth of Williams as one of the clues. Which you've now completely ruined for me because grids like this still need red herrings and your group straddled two of my planned crossovers. so I can't just blindly replace the group. A days effort wasted. Grrr. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47884: What Stephan said. (3 years, 4 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #47574: Easy but very enjoyable. Nice job. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47991: Not a unique solution I'm afraid... I count 13,824 ways to make 4 group each consisting of characters from the same film ;-) 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

ernst blofinger @ #11690: excellent grid.. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #47961: cool. Chris Brady, it's a type of cat! (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47992: Great fun. 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47954: Anagrams were really good!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47970: You bugger..good one ;-) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #618: The 'made of sugars' group didn't accept carbohydrate as a connection - which would have been a more accurate band concise definition. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47987: A veritable shoal of herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #47961: Scottish what? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47929: A full sweep for me! Lovely. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47974: As Cristobal but I’d add that they were informed guesses. Nice grid. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #47973: @A Thank you, a very silly error on my part. I have edited the grid to better reflect reality. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47974: A bit of guesswork, but a full 10 for me! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47983: I didn't get a single line, which is unusual! Having said that, it's a good grid, although I would say that pavement is the UK term for what the Americans call a sidewalk. And the fever group flummoxed me. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #445: Not too hard. For some reason it took me ages to spot the homophones, and I didn't see the chess pieces until all the other groups were sorted and identified. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #423: A bit easy for a 'difficult' wall. Solved in forty seconds. Good, logical connections, but a little obvious. (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #47973: Adele's second album is 21 but it's in the 18 group? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #368: Sorted out the groups in thirty seconds, but didn't identify the tarot. Good grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #413: Wolf being considered as having no rhyme in English, depends entirely on what accent you're speaking with. (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47962: thank you J (3 years, 4 months ago)

James Ellison @ #47956: I think im 'ard as I've just booked both ma jabs. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vernon Chapman @ #47949: I AM SIX FOOT FIVE AND I SOLVED THIS 7/10 p.s. I own 5 houses. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Adam Harvey @ #47947: I love running - Im so much faster than James Ellison and Vernon Chapman. I mean, can they even run? Vernon Chapman also invented Nescafe if you didn't already know. IG also tells me that im not very good at building stuff. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #64: Logical grid, after one group was solved, the others fell into place quickly, with the overlaps easily sorted into their correct groups. (3 years, 4 months ago)

haywood @ #47956: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47766: Brilliant! Spent far too long looking for a ham/beef group... (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47970: 5* (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47953: loved this (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dgms @ #47766: Good grid - found the Toy story group difficult to separate because of all the red herrings, but when only that and the group with News were left, it became pretty clear. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Timmon @ #47961: Scottish had me stumped, never heard of that. I got 7/10 Good grid you deserve 9/10 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47956: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

Enzed @ #47956: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

david A garcia @ #47699: very nice! I didn't get the animal one until I'd resolved the wall. The baseball group is fine as simply "terms". (3 years, 4 months ago)

NY-Barry @ #47791: Super clever, well done! (3 years, 4 months ago)

RSUD @ #47953: Boron is not a noble gas. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Bbsgirl @ #47934: Would have been a very easy 10 points if you knew how to spell Tarantino 🙄 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47928: Nice racism in the answers (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47934: Good one thnx (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47925: Brilliant one thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47934: Damn almost got it. If only I'd correctly guessed how you wanted to mis- spell Tarantino (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47953: Very enjoyable grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47954: If a clue is parliament, it's a bit unimaginative to have the answer being parliament. Plus in general you need to widen the category of correct answers. Three categories (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ryan @ #47845: Really thought alternating consonants and vowels would be a category: "Papaya, Avocado, Banana, Tomato." Nice grid, found it quite tricky. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #47951: Like the 'The Shining' red herring..... (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47943: Verygood (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47947: Sneaky Queen red herring ! (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47951: Very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47949: Clever (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47947: A nice subversion of an old chestnut (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47574: Good (3 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #47947: Very enjoyable. I am not sure if it was an easy one in general or just because I have used all of those groups before (Not in one grid of course). Thanks for posting. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47576: Easy. (3 years, 4 months ago)

outfoxed @ #47912: Quite good, but it's Herman's Hermits! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Fredo @ #47944: Lipton's is still a brand under PepsiCo/Britvic I think (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #47926: Nice one. Couldn’t resolve the final groups. Thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47934: Fun grid, and a bit easier than your usual standard (which i appreciated today). Thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47929: smiler (3 years, 4 months ago)

pedant @ #47934: good categories and red herrings. check spelling on the Django group solution (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dave @ #47929: When you figure out the first one it's very easy but getting to that point was not. Good grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47934: I think that's the first of your grids I've ever done which I'd classify as "easy"! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Juan José @ #47677: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stephan @ #47925: Nice one (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47893: They're pasta endings.... but yeah it's not a great group. Why not try translations of pasta as a group in your next grid? Then you get clues like worms and bow ties. This works better: as a solver, you want to see clues that could fall into lots of possible groups. This needed better red herrings- clues which appear to fit into group A but actually belong to group B. But don't give up! Grid beats no grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Victorf @ #47922: A bit too involved for an Only Connect. Great clues - but for a different format of quiz. I appreciated the extra time, solved some of the clues and got no groups. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #39817: Beagle, brilliant (3 years, 4 months ago)

David (a different David to the first comment above) @ #47921: An unusual challenge, thanks. With no Spanish whatsoever, I was pleased to get 2/10 using rusty Latin & French. I'd be interested to learn what the connections were: would you consider adding an English translation of the answers? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47927: Nice red herrings, cool grid :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Lando @ #40534: How can "evil" be a synonym for "evil"? (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47895: I didnt know who Starman or Star-Lord was until I did this puzzgrid! a fabulous one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

cora @ #47902: Nice. But... shouldn't it be Oceania instead of Autralia? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47893: One of these groups is pasta joke. Like, gnocchi has a G, it's *far*falle and what the hell is ne?! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #47895: Only just got it. Thanks to TGOTG. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sarah @ #8769: Really enjoyed the grid, but was disappointed when “Facial features” was marked incorrect. A message has just come up saying there’s no need to comment about this unless it’s constructive - well, I hope it’s constructive to suggest making a change to allow this answer!! Thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sarah @ #31533: Presidents’ wives should be correct for First Ladies! Great grid though. (3 years, 4 months ago)

jmjmjm @ #47912: Good grid. But it's Bill Haley... (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47889: You are an absolute moron!!!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #21422: Good overlaps! Excellent work (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #12915: Love the explanations! Also good user name :D (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #7712: Learned a lot from that one category! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dexter @ #47902: A good wall for any beginner. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #47879: cool (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #47895: cool (3 years, 4 months ago)

sib @ #47879: Needlecrafts are the new rock 'n roll and not just for nans (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ryan @ #42399: As James mentioned, the capitals and Andrews have a second solution if you exchange Jackson and Lincoln. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Khitty @ #47845: Clarify that the answer categories are based on newer botanical classifications, not the original culinary definitions. Ex: peanuts are nuts in the culinary sense of dry, edible, (generally) fatty seeds or fruits, but botanically, they are the seeds of a legume plant, as are peas. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47891: Agree with Joe. Certainly needed the give up button (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47730: Absolutely brilliant. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47713: Crap!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Chris G @ #2218: Metal and stones for jewellery? But they’re also wedding anniversary gifts which is a more plausible answer (3 years, 4 months ago)

JubalBarca @ #26344: Not unique unfortunately - nappy cream is a thing, and sour -> hour or sun -> hun, so swaps can be made. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David (a different David to the first comment above) @ #47901: Nice grid, never realised BC was a ginge: good trivia. (There's no 'e' in Forsyth, by the way) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #47897: Utter nonsense (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47897: What are you......3????? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #47835: Great (3 years, 4 months ago)

sib @ #47889: Peanut butter jelly time????????? Capital A????? Jack category also a stretch Pie was the only good category (3 years, 4 months ago)

sib @ #47897: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (3 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #47891: South Wales? Thats the flag of Wales.. same for Yorkshire. Makes no sense.. (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #47891: Very hard but fun to try, thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stephan @ #47884: Great idea but needs much more time allowed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #47891: Hard! Enjoyed my first use of the give up button :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47891: Well I liked it. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Not Take That @ #28799: Kidz is by Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue not Take That. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sophia :0 @ #47889: so bad :( i expected better from you, eric. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Yambo @ #47875: Great grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47878: This was a tricky one.. keep it coming! (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47873: 10/10! Loved this (3 years, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #47878: Nice. I couldn't do it, but nice! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #47528: Too easy! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #47840: Very easy to get the groups. The "countries without their first letters" is very nice, but deserves a grid of its own with some overlap with other groups. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #47857: Too Easy. It's two half-puzzles (numbers and sports) rather than a whole puzzle. And the whole thing is visually splittable into the groups of four even if you've never seen or heard of German before - the groups are just "short zigs", "long zigs", "Ich spieles" and "Ich something elses"! Also, siebenundzwanzig is 27, which is NOT prime, it's 3x3x3. Try 67 or 97 instead. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47858: This is wrong on so many levels: Elvis and Tupac were often referred to by their full names Atticus Ross is now in NIN, Justin Vernon has various people working with him in Bon Iver (certainly since the first album), Kevin Parker doesn't tour alone And the Oz thing has already been pointed out. Good effort but pls d yr hmwrk (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47865: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 Or, as you have it, eight :( (3 years, 4 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #47873: Great! But maybe "shortened" men's names? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47879: Yeah, it would help if you spelled the clues correctly! :( (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47878: Very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #47879: What Diana said. Plus, the 'cushion' group would fit "terms used in the game of pool" too! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Diana @ #47879: Nice grid, but should be 'crochet' not 'crotchet'. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #47873: That was fun (3 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #32896: Too clever For me (3 years, 4 months ago)

David (a different David to the first comment above) @ #47868: Fun, thanks. Can I suggest an alternate link for the 'pin' group? - Those words are also all connected to pool. (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #47865: Easy but nice, thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #47868: OK but need more options in the descriptors, eg needlework for the knit group. Also it is crochet, not crotchet, which might mislead people. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Shaq @ #47847: @Cristobal homo -> gleich , graph -> schreiben / geschrieben Was die Wörter in der entsprechnenden Kategorie angeht gibt es zum jeden mehr als EINE Bedeutung / EINE Aussprache, doch das Schriftbild ist identisch, was Homographen ausmacht. Man unterscheidet weiterhin ind er Gruppe der Homographen Heteronyme (gleiche Schreibweise + andere Bedeutung + andere Aussprache) was auch auf Weg / weg und Ho(o)chzeit / Hochzeit zutrifft, Homonyme ( gleiche Schreibweise + gleiche Aussprache + andere Bedeutung) und Homographen die sich nur in der Aussprache unterscheiden. Dazu muss ich gestehen, dass mein Soruce-Material dazu englisch ist und ich nicht garantiert sagen kann ob die Begrifflichkeiten 1 zu 1 ins Deutsche übernommen werden können. Wie würdest du die Gruppe Weg / Hochzeit / Blüte / Heroin nennen? Eine Gemeinsamkeit ist ersichtlich. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47842: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47868: Good, but need to expand the solutions a bit. "Injuries" accepted but not "injury"! (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47451: A little cheeky, but a good challenge nonetheless (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47637: This was fun! Confused the musical notations for piano terms but otherwise it was a good cracker (3 years, 4 months ago)

Adam Langstaff @ #47867: I'M OFF TER RUGGER TONIGHT!!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Thomas Bradley @ #47730: P.S. Ranorex. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Thomas Bradley @ #47730: I erm, um, enjoyed this, urm, but, erm, I thought that "Golden Sauce" might, erm, have been - um - "Apple" and um not "Brown" erm. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jacob Brennekle @ #47842: Great grid guys. I'm gonna go ahead and use it for my Ranorex training course. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47730: @ gridlington ;-) was going to make another on the sane lines but might wait for yours now (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47842: @jack thats fair... although its called cluedo over here. The fact that i know that from playing grids here tells you how often this group comes up... grid was nice but very straightforward (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stephan @ #47835: Good grid (tricky in the time) (3 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #47858: A couple of these are inaccurate: Bon Iver and NIN are both bands with more than one member The BeeGees formed in Australia but they aren't Australian, same with AC/DC who are (mostly) Scottish (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stephan @ #47839: Good grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Stephan @ #47848: Good grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

quizzer @ #47799: wives of US presidents should be enough. (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #47861: Please remove all your duplicate quizes (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47853: @SeedyEm ah apologies! (am enjoying practising 'roe-arr' out loud to myself now..) (3 years, 4 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #47853: Feeling a bit hard-done-by with the animal noises. My Scottish accent was a distinct disadvantage! :P (Roe-arrr instead of rohr, and back with a scottish 'Loch' sound at the end rather than Bahk) Good grid all the same :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47842: Plum etc. desperately needs “Clue” as a connecting word instead of Cluedo. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47799: Not only a fun grid, a generous one too (it gave me the point even though I put Steps for one group). (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47817: Fun to solve as a non-spanish speaker. Thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #42854: Can swap Check and Black. 'Talking' doesn't quite fit the category, an 's' is needed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mike @ #46742: Rabbits aren't rodents (3 years, 4 months ago)

Vic @ #46908: This was a fun one! Thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47853: Nice! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #16190: The nuts are not also trees. Brazilwood is a tree, "Brazil tree" is not a tree. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #42854: Incredible red herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47823: 5/10. A really nice one to sink into :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #39450: Crack category is great. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #21338: Fantastic grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

CKJ @ #47823: At first nothing, and then the penny dropped ... or should I say the 12-pence. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47834: Enjoyed TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47845: Liked this TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47777: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Adrian C @ #47842: Nice effort. A tad easy but still took some thought (3 years, 4 months ago)

Cristobal @ #47847: Homographen sind Wörter, die gleich geschrieben, aber unterschiedlich ausgesprochen werden (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47782: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Roger Wilco @ #47840: They're not really units of currency in the US. They're the names of coins (yes, there's a dollar coin, though 'penny' would be a better name for the coin than 'cent'). A 'nickel' is just the name of a 5c coin. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Em @ #47791: Good grid, love it! Keep up the good work. E (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47791: A fine grid! Lumiere approved! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47796: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47797: I hope Georgia enjoyed this finely crafted grid! Lumiere approved! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47825: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47832: (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47838: 👍 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47839: Hmmmmm.. Good grid, SARAH! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47840: I hope Mister Tom can hear you! Decent grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #47822: Yes I agree. I solved the grid and got 3 answers given as incorrect. (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #47840: Well I enjoyed it. Can you hear me Mister Tom (3 years, 4 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #47822: Agree with previous two comments but it was a good grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47840: Thanks for setting. Unfortunately the mars crossover has rather been done to death (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47822: Yes, you need to check your accepted words. No point for "Captain Scarlet Angels". I'm not really sure what else I could put. Also prostitutes, woman, women not accepted. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47843: I don't think there is a unique solution to this. Tomato and cranberry can be swapped (and probably lemon too). (3 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #47730: Excellent! Finished it with 3 seconds to spare! Was just creating one in exactly the same style - will have a to change a few now! 😄 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47837: Pretty good (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sarah @ #47839: Amazing! (3 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #47839: Nice one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47819: Great grid, much enjoyed. Lumiere approved! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47730: Fantastic grid! Really got the mind working! Lumiere approved! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sarah @ #47839: Cool (3 years, 4 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #47830: Really nice. A few I didn't know, but managed to guess! (I reckon your answers to the 'followed by' and 'preceded' are back to front, but no biggy :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47803: Superb, both idea and execution. The Children and It group had me utterly kippered! Great fun TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #47730: Great fun. Needed the extra minute, because of the red herrings... 5* and TY (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47823: Good fun. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Shanu @ #47797: Homophone is a valid answer (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47824: Good red herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Busman @ #47819: Good one ty. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47797: Nice. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47793: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47819: Simple (3 years, 4 months ago)

bram corner @ #44800: Chess one I got at the end, didn't know the underground one or the oxford one, not from England after all... (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47803: @Mister Tom I think the Sherlock Holmes novel is called "The Sign of the Four" but it looks as though both variants are listed. Anyway, great fun and (at least) ten minutes would have helped me. :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

bram corner @ #33026: News worked as a solution for minute-mets-times-city, surprisingly (3 years, 4 months ago)

fred @ #46922: i adored this quiz only didnt get one of them but the rest were easier! (3 years, 4 months ago)

PJ @ #14182: Incorrect answer - Mr Heckles was not a landlord (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #37890: Good red herrings! I kept trying to put London in the eye group! Nice one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #28448: I agree with the Cluedo comments. Good one, thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #35412: Cool. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #14499: Hadn't heard of butter beans, but managed to get full marks. Nice red herrings! Well done! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #47819: nice. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #21012: Got it in half the allotted time, but had to work for it! Nice grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #47823: Enjoyed this. Helps to be old enough to remember a shilling/bob. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #37058: Annee, tuner sounds like tuna if you're Australian :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #39584: 10/10 but I had to make a lot of guesses because of red herrings! Good grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47791: Brilliant. Thank you (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #683: Never heard of Loonie in that context! Nice grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #1942: By an amazing coincidence, my first puzzgrid, 47476, which I recently created, had the same 4 members in the 'Kent' group and I had not yet seen this one! Nice grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47791: 6/10! this was a really good one to sink my teeth into. got stuck at ice (pop)!!! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47823: Nice grid! Knowledge of 'old money' can help you here, thanks. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47824: All fixed - so obvious - don't know how I didn't notice it! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47824: oops! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #47824: Please correct spelling of tortoise. I thought it was deliberate so it confused me! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Enzed @ #47822: A bit more tolerance on answers would be nice. Angels and Women weren't accepted (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47793: A nice grid with a couple of twists to keep it fresh. Thanks for setting it! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47730: @ Maartjebsbes that's one i hadnt even intended! But there are 3 that I had- if you add the words that are in the stated solution, 3 of them are red herrings for another group. Which 3 is an exercise for the reader. I Wouldn't do you a grid without herrings :-) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47803: Maybe I should have given people 10 minutes ;-) One never really intends the things to be unsolvably fiendish. The sign of four is one of the 4 Sherlock Holmes novels. I've not heard of the other one. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47730: Only one red herring there Brian green, green day. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47821: Famous naturalists or TV naturalists? Plus there are many answers for the men's names including people called banks, England 1966 world cup team, and Labour cabinet of 1997. I guess the latter were puppets so it's covered. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #10577: Very nice but quite simple. Red herrings across all four. For other, whether a light ray is a 'thing' is a very good question, as it can ambiguously be either a particle (thing) or a wave (ray). But 'light ray ' is certainly a term used in physics and indeed in literature e.g. Milton (3 years, 4 months ago)

PomPom @ #47551: 5/10. was stuck on the types of bees and stitches. thoroughly enjoyed it still. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47810: 7/10, excellent and tricky grid, thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47776: Water crackers are made by Carr's (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #45572: Quite simple, but rewarding. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #39832: Excellent grid (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #43118: Excellent red herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #30823: The suits was amazing. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #30523: Palindrome fakeout was amazing. This feels a lot like an Only Connect grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #37161: The time category is diabolical. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #44401: That tie category is phenomenal. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #31115: I knew my guess was wrong, but for the "contact" one, "Total" was an acceptable answer (which I guessed for "Recall" to be cheeky). This might need to be fixed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #35391: Ages are measured by technical advances or major events. (3 years, 4 months ago)

aman @ #47776: water crackers? (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47803: Got some of it on the fourth go with the help of a spreadsheet. :) Should "The Sign of 100" be "The Sign of the 100" or is there a different book? (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47804: Nice cross-overs. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47805: Fun. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kazza K @ #47803: Excellent grid, worked out most of the connection topics, but couldn’t quite find them!! Fun to do :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Duncan George @ #47778: Jesus didn't have a Brother - he was allegedly the only son of God (3 years, 4 months ago)

Fisty @ #47797: It's buffay (3 years, 4 months ago)

barry wobble @ #47797: great. homophone not homonym (3 years, 4 months ago)

sib @ #47792: Polo mints were invented by Rowntrees not Nestle (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #37331: Loved that both pronoun and possessive were acceptable. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #43205: Excellent red herrings (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #35536: Great grid. I might recommend taking out the incredibly obvious "magellanic clouds" and replacing it with something more esoterically related to galaxies that could sound like something else. Virgo, Sculptor, Pegasus maybe? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #39620: Excellent puzzle with multiple paths. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #32225: Who cares about the "rules"? Most grids are pretty easy if you know the "rules". Anything that makes you think outside the box is good, and this grid dares to do it. Pretty easy, but absolutely loved what it did. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2492: I don't think it should accept just tennis or tennis stars, they are too narrow- they are all British Wimbledon winners, which is a quite specific subset of both of those (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #47326: The amount of red herrings in this is phenomenal. (3 years, 4 months ago)

steph @ #33621: Damn, I got 10/10 on a Lorna grid! proper chuffed (3 years, 4 months ago)

Julia @ #47756: Cool. More please! (3 years, 4 months ago)

LucasPriest @ #47791: Go hIontach! Couldn't think of ice (pop) idol for ages, complete blank LOL! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Christo @ #47791: Excellent, loved it. (3 years, 4 months ago)

J Silberman @ #47790: If you like this one (I did although I scored badly) try 41834. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #36840: Excellent red herrings (3 years, 4 months ago)

Sean @ #34868: Excellent grid, but you should replace B with War. B is a little esoteric for adding lock to it, and war would be a great red herring for battle. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JerseySue @ #47753: Thanks - really enjoyed this. Could the orpan line also be protagonists? (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #47779: I dont think you understand what silent means. P, g, and h are part of digraphs, they are not silent letters. e modifies the vowel sounds. (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47744: Very nice grid, thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47744: I don't want to nag or badger but I was annoyed to not be allowed 'bother' (3 years, 4 months ago)

JMT @ #47730: Nice, not as seamless as Ducky though (3 years, 4 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #28959: Nice crossovers, not too taxing. 10 outa 10 (3 years, 4 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #30596: Nice. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #43942: Good grid - not too obvious and not too hard (3 years, 4 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #47766: Great grid. Loved Toy Story group!! Ty. (3 years, 4 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #47768: Good grid. Pretty difficult! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kazza K @ #47730: Love this grid :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47768: Loved it (but got nowhere near solving it). I obviously don't pay enough attention to the crossword setters at the Guardian. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47768: Top marks for the composers. Guardian crossword setters really very obscure (3 years, 4 months ago)

Amen @ #47625: Thanks all for the feedback. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Loin El Richie @ #47730: Yes. Got that with one second too go. Perfect. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Victorf @ #47625: That's what a good grid should be. A bit of a theme, one red herring, some high, medium and low brow. (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #47760: Nice. Didn’t spot the Song group’s connection. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47759: Nice start. :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

Shaq @ #47729: Moin, ich erstell die meisten Puzzgrids für meine Freunde aber denke ads ich sie für alle zugänglich amchen kann, auchw enn relativ spezifisches Wissen benötigt wird. Der ein oder andere schätzt es. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47562: Clever (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47595: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47601: 'Stores' acceptable, but not 'shops'? More inclusive answers please. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47733: Clever. (3 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #47628: Way too obscure (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47721: The D___ Connection inspired me to make a whole new grid off the back of it (47734) - I hope you don't mind !? (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47734: With thanks to Nikkidemas Grid #47721 that provided a connection that inspired the whole grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47733: I've borrowed and replaced one connection from grid 47626 so I could have two opposing animal grids! (Let me know if there are any better suggestions for the Yak group I'm not sure if i'm fully happy with it..) (3 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #47625: Got there in the end. Thanks for the fun grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #47629: A fun challenge, thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

CKJ @ #47721: Dozen seems like a reasonable unit of measurement for eggs and doughnuts, @christobal. I entered “amount” and got a point. (3 years, 4 months ago)

yeah @ #46742: yeah. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #47694: Easy but enjoyable. (3 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #47694: Ha! Very good! Easy but fun! (3 years, 4 months ago)

christobal @ #47721: Hmm... the only unit of measurement in that line is a bushel (8 gallons). The rest are just numbers; Score=20, Dozen=12, Gross =144. (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47706: Just looked up a caper - Have changed it for clarity but that was too niche for even me ! (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47706: @RSUD What animal does capers begin with? (3 years, 4 months ago)

RSUD @ #47706: Capers and horseplay can be interchanged. So the solution is not unique. (3 years, 4 months ago)

CKJ @ #47694: I enjoyed this one, Carpenter. :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

jonboy @ #47688: Nice grid. Saw the 4 connections but couldn’t resolve the groups in time. Thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

haywood @ #47683: Not bad at all. "Schindler's" is too much of a giveaway though, only possibly refers to one thing (although I do believe there are elevators/lifts by that name... hmm, gives me an idea for a future red herring) (3 years, 4 months ago)

haywood @ #47699: Great grid with some quality red herrings, but "setup man" is not a P.... in B... and Closer, while the term is used for a certain kind of other P... in B... is not in itself a P... in B... either. So for me it was fatally misleading, having recognised the other two. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #47671: Weak/incorrect connections Ohana group explanation doesn't make sense (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dogms @ #47373: Good grid - solved it by pure luck. The north and south group contained three things completely interchangeable between the groups - Hampton could have been swapped with Pole or Dakota, and there's only supposed to be one valid solution. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Billy No Mates @ #47503: How is palindrome not an acceptable answer for the palindrome category? (3 years, 4 months ago)

CJ @ #21347: Peanuts is not a character in the comic strip. According to Wikipedia, "Schulz hated the title Peanuts, which remained a source of irritation to him throughout his life. He accused the production manager at UFS of not having even seen the comic strip before giving it a title, and said that the title would only make sense if there was a character named "Peanuts"." (3 years, 4 months ago)

JMT @ #47646: Nice, SmileyMiley would approve. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47646: @Matt; Huh, odd, working fine on my end. I wonder if the image boards only show up for Patrons or something. Could be something I need to bring up with the dev! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Matt @ #47646: All blank squares on this end matey - is this the ultimate impossible? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47605: Misspelled bands should be ok? (3 years, 4 months ago)

JMT @ #47629: I agree with Lumiere! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Michael Beardmore @ #47623: This might be the best grid I've ever done on here. 5 stars. Excellent. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #29559: Agree with Paul (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #44288: Oh my! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47635: I much enjoyed the composer homophone clue- very well done! Though I must say I was peeved to learn that Australia is now considered a continent, rather than Oceania. Ah well, we live and learn, don't we? Lumiere approved! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47638: Though I was partial a little NWA back in the 90s (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47637: Ah, a fantastic grid. Some challenging clues, though I got the French connection with ease ;) Lumiere approved! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47638: I'm not too familiar with this new-fangled electronic music, but I got there with a little help from my Grandson, Dominique! Lumiere approved! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #47629: Wonderful grid! Lumiere approved ! (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47631: Don't think Jasmine quite works; "Infamy" would be better? (3 years, 4 months ago)

Khitty @ #47607: Was thinking the category as 'first names of US presidents', so 'Benjamin' would've been Harrison. Aw man. (3 years, 4 months ago)

CKJ @ #47607: I got all the groups, but missed two of the answer links. Fair and fun. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jane @ #47601: I lost a point for putting “shops” instead of “stores”. Enough with the Americanisms! 🙂 (3 years, 4 months ago)

VCM @ #47574: Good fun (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47626: A lion is not a gryphon. There's some lovely groups there, but play fair (3 years, 4 months ago)

FraserMc @ #47594: Very good - took me a while to spot what was going on. (3 years, 4 months ago)

quodlibet @ #47607: clever use of distractors (3 years, 4 months ago)

Jennifer @ #47445: Hmm. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Chester @ #47624: Nice one (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #47626: Tough but fair. Only 1/10 and I needed to be told the connection of one to get the other! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #47609: A nice misdirect. I found it very challenging but perhaps that's just me. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47623: Good fun, particularly liked the butcher group. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47624: Fun. Good cross-overs. (3 years, 4 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47608: So Good! (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47620: I feel bad that I needed to look up what went with Ummagumma and Animals. :) (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47620: @Feza; that’s good feedback. I’ll fix the clue! (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47607: Tricky. Plenty of red herrings. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47620: @Feza; that’s good feedback. I’ll fix the clue! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #47620: Well done! I can't believe I missed the 'Wall' connections! :( It didn't give me credit for 'synonym' in the 'Pry' group :( Go Aussies! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #47507: Preakness was first winner of Preakness Stakes??? What an incredible coincidence. Takes place on Saturday by the way. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mark @ #47601: It's TK Maxx (3 years, 4 months ago)

Mark @ #47605: Bands doesn't make sense, they're not spelled correctly. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #47516: Loved this grid. Made me smile. Thank you so much j (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47575: @Dogms Thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dogms @ #47561: Nice. Took a little while to see what it was about, but very clear and easy once I had. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dogms @ #47575: Really good grid. Enough red herring to make it interesting and a good variety of categories. (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47620: I always wind up making the grids harder than I think they are. 😀 (3 years, 4 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47597: I like this a lot! The food theming is a fun idea, all four categories are pretty well considered, none of the inclusions feel off base. I will say I think your doctors testing keywords may be a bit broad, as I was marked correct for a wildly off-base guess. But I liked it! You deserve a stronger rating. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #8441: I did the same as Jeff - didn't find a single group, but got all the connections! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Dogms @ #47584: The groups don't quite work - there are several interchangeable items. Crown could be double, triple or quadruple, to make well known phrases. Digits can be single, double, triple etc. Cream can be single or double. Bypass surgery can be single, double, triple or quadruple. Having several that can be directly swapped without affecting the theme of each group, makes it an exercise in luck rather than knowledge and reasoning. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Oren @ #47605: This is one of my favorite puzzles! But please add "clue" as an acceptable answer, that's the American name for "cluedo". (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47552: Nice grid, thank you! (3 years, 4 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47557: Nice challenging grid, thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47605: 'Bands' not okay for the bands group? Duh! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47553: Nice grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47552: Should probably take "cabinet." (3 years, 4 months ago)

DerRtitter @ #10577: The possible answers for 'Parts of a rive' should be checked, I entered Fluvial as an answer and got it wrong. (3 years, 4 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #47561: the rats approve (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47601: No tick-a-tape finish but gave myself the point anyway for gun makers. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47574: Got that one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47566: Some clever but obtuse clues. I could see where it was leading but couldn’t sort the grid but got full marks for the connections. Thanks for a full explanation and for a testing grid. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #47507: The General group are also just occupations. Learned something about horses though. Thanks (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47591: Niche! (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47589: No, if you are going to have two of the same, they must be in the same group otherwise........ (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47584: Would "Quickly, At The" be better than "Quickly, On The"? (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47576: You've spelt turtle incorrectly. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47580: You've spelt Australia and New Zealand incorrectly. I think that it's possible to edit it to correct it. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47571: Tricky. (3 years, 4 months ago)

gridlington @ #47569: Another good one! (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47562: Good fun. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47561: Enjoyed. (3 years, 4 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47533: @Ellie :D (3 years, 4 months ago)

Trundle @ #47561: Amazing. I had to have a second go, but when it all clicked I was delighted. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #36949: Good, but got no credit for 'synonym'. (3 years, 4 months ago)

christobal @ #47561: Very nice thanks! (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #25921: Nice and easy, but not given credit for 'award'. (3 years, 4 months ago)

Feza @ #21449: I hadn't heard of twisting in terms of cards, so was lucky to get 10 points. Nice grid! (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47562: Nice (3 years, 4 months ago)

EKrake @ #47514: Good one! I lucked my way into a couple of categories. (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47556: Very good (3 years, 4 months ago)

Ellie @ #47533: There was a young person from Porthcawl Who tried to solve a puzzle wall She screamed "what's a 'lime rick'? This must be a dumb trick!" Then realised it was *limerick* after all. (3 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #47549: Had me scratching my head (3 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #47523: While XCIX is standard, IC was sometimes used in earlier use. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #47549: Funny how they all pop back into you head (3 years, 5 months ago)

CKJ @ #47514: Tricky grid. Thanks! You might edit to fix spelling of pineapple. (3 years, 5 months ago)

CKJ @ #47551: 5/10 trickier than it first appeared. Thanks! (3 years, 5 months ago)

CKJ @ #47552: Enjoyable aha moments. Thanks! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Kelly @ #47551: This was a challenge! Each row had 3 gimmes, but the 4th was hard to find! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Kelly @ #47550: Pupil and iris — good red herrings! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Kelly @ #47529: Wow! (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #47542: Nice and tricky, WD (3 years, 5 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47511: Ah thank you! Have changed one term to hopefully make more unique (3 years, 5 months ago)

HarryRae @ #47519: That's inspired me to change the whole grid ! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Steff @ #46876: thanks all, yes the spelling was a mistake, will make sure to double check next time! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Steff @ #47373: thanks all (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47522: @stjohn Thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47522: Damn Macmillan, and you can change your moniker now, the Margaret line was practised nasty. WD & TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47538: I enjoyed that (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47540: A cut above the usual WD TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Em @ #47114: buenos wall! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Em @ #47511: agree with kathy (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ariane @ #30437: You need to know American sports teams names to get this one. Great set - lots of misdirection, interesting variety! (3 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #47502: It's graded as hard, but it's very easy. No red herrings. Like the cow group! (3 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #47538: Good grid, but for 2 points. There's a UK/US conflict in the spelling of the L-word. (But I saw you're from US, so we have to be ready for spelling differences!😄) And Sal - a boy's name? Not especially... (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47531: I hear you gridlington however I would suggest that Lent (40 days) of abstinence and reflection (akin to Ramadan) would not count as holidays. This was my slight niggle with the answers given, not with the quality of the grid. Similarly the "Bloody" answer as "special"? Soory to go on, as I said "nearly a very good grid" Getting off my soap box now (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47503: That's not what an acronym is . . . . . . . . (3 years, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #47531: To be fair, "holiday" comes from "holy day", which they are, so it's a fair description. Good grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47529: Nice! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47523: Made me smile. I think I did an almost identical grid last year. Really enjoyed your version WD TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47524: Loved it, beautifully infuriating (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47531: Nearly very good. I solved the wall but I would take issue re "holidays". They are significant periods agreed. Loved the hidden group WD (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47533: @stjohn Thank you! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Katherine @ #47511: just a 'p' also works, the 'im' is not necessary! (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47523: @POOKMAN6 I think that people will know what is meant by it. It's a fun grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tony @ #47510: Glas is blue in welsh (3 years, 5 months ago)

J Silberman @ #47499: Sorry, CKJ. Just noticed that this overlaps a bit with your 47436. And also with Baron's 47520. Pure coincidences. (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47503: Is Pakistan an acronym? (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47525: Clever. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #47373: Enjoyable (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47523: To be pedantic, IC isn't a valid Roman numeral. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Oren @ #47520: Very clever! But I think the connection for the "cats" group was a bit too genric. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #47516: Haha - trust me! I know my movie stuff. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jimdas @ #47414: No confetti cos I was so lazy I just put LOTR. Good one though, thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

jonboy @ #47517: Nice one. Initially thought it would be too easy but then saw there were 5 vitamins! (3 years, 5 months ago)

WVPuzzler @ #47432: Good with some niche categories (3 years, 5 months ago)

God @ #47228: End yourself (3 years, 5 months ago)

Josh @ #46818: I don't think these categories are very well thought out. Swimming is also a water sport, and all the water sports are also summer activities, as are all the lawn sports. I would argue that indoor, lawn, beach and activities that require a boat would be better. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeffrey @ #47503: Gestapo is more of an abbreviation than an acronym. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #44363: Excellent difficult grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

ratsupreme @ #47504: "i'll be RIGHT under their noses" great grid, animals were hard (3 years, 5 months ago)

EZ MONEY @ #47488: EZ MONEY (3 years, 5 months ago)

hm @ #23524: - the ellen show isn't a sitcom i don't think?? - the song title (?) category could also be words that end in letter sounds -- sAY (A), promisES (S), louIE (E), sugAR (R). that's how i got that one bc i've seen that kind of category on onlyconnect lol (3 years, 5 months ago)

hm @ #47468: another answer for the gems category could be steven universe gems -- the four of those are all gems that steven universe characters are based on (and jade isn't, which is how i got that category, although i guess it was for the wrong reason) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47489: 1. You do not put Justin Bieber in the same grid as above Dylan. Just don't, 2. China doesn't sound so bad now (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47488: Very nice grid with the full complement of red herrings. (3 years, 5 months ago)

MereNovice @ #47486: Being pedantic, the analogue times don't quite work, e.g. when the minute hand is on the six, the hour hand is half way between six and seven. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joan @ #47478: I haven't tried these before, and was a bit perplexed? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47479: Nice grid, would be better if it took "system" in the singular. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47474: Good stuff! Haven't seen you onhere for a while (3 years, 5 months ago)

Donnie @ #45449: When did President Grover serve? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #47488: Perfectly fine,rather straightforward. Think the Cherokee group could have been better disguised with say, Sac, Fox or Huron (3 years, 5 months ago)

Andrew @ #47472: What's a veggie tale? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47481: Super grid (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47485: -et was a great one but downhill quickly (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47482: Nice red herrings (3 years, 5 months ago)

Grace @ #47440: Another brilliant grid! The connections were so closely intertwined....I got some and was halfway to the others! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47476: Cecil B De Mille might not be the only link between those characters! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #47479: Pretty good Qs. Not sure what the red herrings were. 'Impatient' for hidden virtues is a bit cheap but overall a good tough grid (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #47384: Emerald is also a programming language, so either ruby or jade could be swapped into the precious stones group, so I'm afraid the groupings don't work. They're only meant to have one possible valid solution- this had three, which made it impossible for me to depart the precious stones group from the programming language group before using all my lives/running out of time, except by random selection and luck. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Beauzo @ #47479: Good categories, but you may need to expand your tags. E.g let your buddy group accept the singular, and some extra synonyms for your impatient group (3 years, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #44919: Per Merriam Webster, plural of grapefruit could be grapefruits or grapefruit. I have never heard anyone refer to multiple grapefruit without the s on the end. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Feza @ #15859: Very good. Only got it by chance with 7 seconds to go! 10/10. Thanks. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47418: Actual trolling. There’s no constructive criticism to give. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47424: Nearly incomprehensible. Expecting people to know every lyric to pull out minor clues is beyond reasonable. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47432: Body cord is a piece of fencing (like, the sport) equipment. This one doesn’t deserve its low ranking. It has some very good category ideas and the inclusions are sensible. It’s not my favourite quiz ever but it’s better than it’s been ranked. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47456: Agreed with the others. The notions for the categories here are good; but several of the inclusions are dubious and it lowers the sense of fairness. (3 years, 5 months ago)

CKJ @ #47440: This puzzle provided Satisfaction. (3 years, 5 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47463: Sadly, I have to concur with the low rating. There’s too much niche knowledge for a lot of this (Gravity Falls is great but it’s not so mainstream as to expect it as a viable category) and two other categories mix your terminology about. Yes, Sofia is a capital city and investment expenditure is ‘capital’ but its stretching the category beyond a reasonable level - and you do it twice. I think your puzzles would be better if played more straight. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Khitty @ #47456: @christo 'Light' as in 'headlight'. That threw me, too. I thought the category was types of shades. Never heard of a steel wheel or an alloy wheel before, and I've only head 'spare tire' and never 'spare wheel' (3 years, 5 months ago)

JackSlack @ #47448: King threw me for a loop. Well done. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #47451: very good (3 years, 5 months ago)

RuddyKipper @ #47415: Categories are good but the explanations need fixing - I failed for putting chocolate instead of chocolates, metals instead of elements, and stationery (which I think is misspelled on the answers as stationary) Chocolates needs to be listed as chocolate, candy, sweet etc, the elements as metal, element etc (3 years, 5 months ago)

Rio Midha @ #47374: Such a terrible "puzzgrid". At first I was sort of excited to part-take in a "puzzgrid", but as soon as I saw the quality and difficulty of the "grid", to say I was dissapointed would be an understatement. I do not reccomend this "puzzgrid". (3 years, 5 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #38852: Brilliant Tarantino red herring!! (3 years, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #47258: Phew, tough. Great idea. I worked out the method and got 2 groups but the other 2 groups were way too niche for the average player I think. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hypatia @ #47191: Yikes, there are so many Bruces in the world . . . and you choose to deadname Caitlyn Jenner? Dubious choice. (3 years, 5 months ago)

the corrector @ #47215: Australia New Zealand and Canada are monarchies and Elizabeth is their queen. Wisconsin Iowa Missouri and New jersey should be recognised as states (after which the ships were named). Black Clover is widely known as manga anime. It is like saying a TV theme tune is a song in its own right. (3 years, 5 months ago)

puzzgridfan @ #47212: Generally a very nice grid, though the answer "synonyms for mess" could do with a few more terms so that other correct answers are admissible; e.g. disorganised, chaos, jumble, fiasco, etc. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Donna @ #47198: @freddgar You’re right. It’s fixed now! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #25690: Good grid, plenty of red herrings, and all the groupings really work logically and aren't ridiculously contrived. I was lucky to separate the groups with half a minute to spare. Really struggled to find the connection for the last group, but got it just as I was going to give up. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Donna @ #47198: @freddgar You’re right. It’s fixed now! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #25700: Solved it, but sorted the last two groups by pure luck (never heard of that band in my life, so was onto my last life and randomly chose the right ones for the other grouping). (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #25702: Great grid. The 'lucky' group also works as a 'falling' group - the two less obvious ones are a spell/skill in World of Warcraft, and the other is the same as the Hagberg number, used in grain analysis. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #47198: Very nice. I will need to raise my game😀 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #25739: The 'venomous' group are also all superheroes/heroines/villains, if preceded by 'The'. All the aquatic animals named are edible - though I've never eaten crocodile. (3 years, 5 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #47163: Preempting comments about a very close similarity of one of the groups to LittleQuill’s recent wall this was ENTIRELY a coincidence. What are the odds? 😂 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46938: WD TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46941: Good TY, I think potentially FYC and TMBG could also fit lit group as the FYC film was based on The Bixby Girls novel and TMBG was originally a play? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46942: Tough having never watched Game Of Thrones but struggled through TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

LucasPriest @ #46902: Good one! I was so close to a full score but didn't take the time to study the last group properly and put 'over', going by the first three and missing out 'mull'. Really good grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #46904: SUPER difficult! (3 years, 5 months ago)

clockwork58 @ #46901: Very good Thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46891: All too clever for me 🤦‍♀️ The more I looked at it the more bamboozled I got. I'm just not clever enough!!! Think I might retire from cryptic (never a forte) and just stick to the grid making. At least I can do that! LYLsx (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46893: Nicely woven, ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46895: Varied! ty (Nice to see you BTW) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46897: Themes are fun TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46876: I think I would have got this if hail had been there instead of hale (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46899: Only just realised there is two 'doors' once I've uploaded this... They do fit in two different groups. It shouldn't be too much of a problem, once you suss the links. Enjoy anyway (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46891: Bit of late night (or morning) fun depending on location (3 years, 5 months ago)

wegwwgwe @ #46835: The Minecraft mobs category is incorrect as the "ghost" in Minecraft is actually called a "Ghast" (3 years, 5 months ago)

ABC @ #38074: Gold and Silver could be swapped and it would still work. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46876: True but still fun (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46877: Thanks stj, much appreciated! We actually have to drive past those 'bogies' to get to our little family place in the country lol Did you know Glenrowan was Ned Kelly territory? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46835: Lost a point as I used the English colours and another for knowing nothing about Minecraft but seeing things associated with Halloween (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46871: Not too difficult - but depressing! I say no thanks to random splits. I think they are clever enough to stand on their own merits. I do enjoy this format TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

ABC @ #46835: Is that supposed to say "ghast"? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46867: I thought that was what you were doing - but still couldn't work it out! Excellent! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46845: I can't disagree with that gridlington, give yourself the point (3 years, 5 months ago)

Lux @ #46876: Nice job overall, but the relevant linked word should be spelled 'hail' rather than 'hale'. (3 years, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #46845: Very good! (Altho none of the Vigour line are synonyms for "strong". Strength, yes - but that answer was not accepted.) (3 years, 5 months ago)

gridlington @ #46791: Very good thanks! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46850: Mmm David. I see Dyson's point too as I get older. However, Tolkein was trying to create a myth, which can be used culturally for communication. See the ST:NG episode Darmok. And the LOTR film quote: You have my sword....and my bow .... and my axe. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46871: 😆😆 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46871: You're right stjohn. Used to have infallible spelling but not any more :( (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46878: Just read Ducky's comment and realised what she meant Doh!! again (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46878: Yup! Do not know why the second light did not come on till to late. Very Good Well Done and thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46878: Love a theme. Eeks and aches! Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46874: Obs, the words ' Gob the size of Wales' occurred to me long ago. You wouldn't be the same without it :) Ty for the grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46877: Have got to brush up on my Aussie geoggers. Not a clue! WD stjohn ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46874: @Obs, not sure what you have said, but come back stronger and maybe a "new" man hehe (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46877: G,Day cobbers, let me know if I have come a guster and it is bull dust (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #46850: Very good! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Malcolm @ #149: To Feet, Nat & Chas N Dave:It's an Easy grid, so why make it more complicated by guessing weather patterns, these are simply winds.But it really doesn't matter - there's no prize, so if you know you're right, why bug the grid compiler? To Marlene: you typed in the wrong box darlin' - but never use any kind of loos in your hair (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #46871: Sick (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46874: Can't escape me by going to the other side of the world! (3 years, 5 months ago)

asp @ #46821: Good catch, ABC. Fixed now. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46871: I went through the selections and went "had that" had that" "think I've got that" "probably going to get that" etc lol. Has the other version of spelling diarrhoea now ceased? TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46871: Deepest sympathy. Re spacing, if they're as wordy as this the time taken to decipher is sufficient difficulty. Shorter ones, yes feel free to bamboozle us. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46845: Tendon (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ain @ #46870: All logical. Made sense. A bit 'specialized' with the topics, though ;) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46840: Yes David they are the names of the awards ie the Brownlow Medal, the Archibald Prize, the Walkley Awards, the Miles Franklin Award. (3 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #46840: Thanks, good fun, with some guesswork needed by a benighted pom. Not a complaint, but I've read the answer to the Brownlow group and am none the wiser - the fields of each are mentioned but not the connection - is it prizes? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46867: Detention again scurrilous Obscurious! :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #46850: Good, fun grid (although I found myself in sympathy with Hugo Dyson). (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46867: Ouch, charbonniere & kohlmeise! And a whole load of bad puns to follow, but for once I'll keep my hands off. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Wes @ #46496: Like this one =) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #46858: The female archtypes link feels a bit obscure/tenuous, but otherwise a really good grid with an excellent mix of categories and good red herrings. Well done! (3 years, 5 months ago)

the chunguses @ #1396: this wasn't very insane of you, steven. however, your efforts are appreciated. whether you be in this realm or the next, we here at chungus incorporated hope you have a wonderful time of things. love, the chunguses. kiss. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ain @ #46860: Hard one. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46858: Shall look forward to seeing you lol (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #46838: Nice ‘one’. Enjoyed it TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46854: Sorry being stupid again. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46854: The Prize! Ha ha. That was the only complete line I got, although I was on track with the others, just out of time and forgot to refresh. My kind of grid. TY. (BTW the explanation still includes 3 under which I assume you changed.) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46850: I always do it, I waste half my time just admiring the construction and phrasing, then try to scramble through. Confetti but only just. 5* just for gentle/leap + 5* for the rest. TY. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46834: Well chuff chuff me, not so chuffed about my score, I was on the wrong line completely TY Obs (3 years, 5 months ago)

Beth @ #46856: Tough one! Kept me on my toes (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46848: Did not know the Chance line. I think that's the loudest and longest reveal groan I've ever uttered, not at all in tune with the theme. Clearly I'm too prosaic. Brilliant. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ain @ #46856: Tough questions but pretty good overall. Although never heard of anyone being called 'Arran' :D (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46834: Too local, no hope for me. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46847: Oh PLX, missed the conveyance there, even though it should have been the easiest. Definitely got on the BLNDRBSS. Got the flighty things and most of the edible ones (not LPC) and your trap with the arms worked as I was lost looking for projectiles. DCKY or JMB you have a LT T NSWR FR. THNK Y.

Jmelb @ #46854: Knew some but not enough to make a group. Will you be visiting Australia again today?? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46845: Don't forget the extra X as well. Puniness gave it away right at the start, so thanks for the quick confetti. (3 years, 5 months ago)

annana @ #46838: Fun grid. The words ending with "one" also rhyme, so that could be an accepted link. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46836: We saw JTs FFt Uncommon Women at the Proms a few years ago. One of the women she celebrated was Marin Allsop who conducted these and the whole of the New World symphony without a score from memory. I popped that one into our self-set on-line quiz and then expanded on similar themes in the grid. (Whisper, whisper - Wikipedia disambiguation is my friend). I know how you do yours, because I've tried, but I do kindergarten while you do PHDs. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46827: Great grid! Lumiere approved 👍 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46828: Very good (I particularly liked the juvenile animal connection), however I would argue that 'Faith' and 'Styles' are not common nouns and are, in fact, abstract nouns. Correct me if I'm wrong. Other than that, fantastic work 👍 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46829: Much agreed, Obscurious, a very relaxing grid indeed. Perhaps the massage oil will be of the Eucalyptus persuasion 😼 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #7790: HOW DID WE NOT GET THE CHEESE?! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #8518: great grid (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #16470: harsh but fair! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #30731: You could be a little more generous with your acceptable terms! 'population centres' would be fair surely. (3 years, 5 months ago)

SomeGuy @ #46830: This guy is brilliant - a true up and coming legend in the puzzgrid world. I can't wait to see what else he can do. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46813: A nice grid:) ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46822: *A bit of fun - I hope (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46814: Lovely stuff. Enjoyed the structure. Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46815: Loved it. I understood all the answers! With your wife on this one, but it does make sense in the end. Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Pam @ #46746: Great (3 years, 5 months ago)

jamesg98 @ #12698: RIP Philip (3 years, 5 months ago)

jamesg98 @ #29991: nice puzzle, no idea who Pete is however (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #46815: Thank you. I amended a few to help get into it. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46815: a very fair effort wd ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46817: Yes, I liked it also, after basil row was waiting for a pig row(moon) YY Aetees (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #46815: Apologies in advance. Didn’t road test on my wife beforehand and now I know she can’t do it then it must be harder than I thought:) (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46817: Well I liked it (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46817: TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46812: oops (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #46804: What a joy to do a grid with an Australian flavour (3 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #46799: Much too much for me. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #46812: Enjoyable. I spent way too long looking for deodorants thanks to Lnyx/Lynx:) (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46810: So good. I just looked at it blankly for two and a half minutes, then it clicked and I had to refresh to enjoy it again! 5* TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Busman @ #46790: nice, although I need to visit the UK one day to do better with some of these grids:) (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46791: Thank you all! NB: The British rugby players are called the Lions. A British rugby player, singular, is just a lion. (3 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #46791: British rugby player? (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46814: Peace of Mad Era! loved it wd TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

jamesg98 @ #46788: Had me stumped on a few of these! Very fun (3 years, 5 months ago)

jamesg98 @ #46786: Thanks for pointing out the misspelling! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46812: My sort of grid. Lead me in one direction, then...... I did not think of it being 6/12 but DDay. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

James @ #46812: Lynx spelt wrong! Otherwise great quiz :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46812: how is 9 the last root number? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46810: Even better than the last, if that's possible TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

PotatoSalad @ #23180: Definitely should accept "cat breeds" (3 years, 5 months ago)

Catherine Keir @ #30391: Very difficult, but made sense! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46812: thanks GavinJ, thought I put lynx, will fix. I thought its cardinal and root, however, will just leave it at root then. (3 years, 5 months ago)

GavinJ @ #46812: Onyx does not fit in the set. Cardinal numbers are an infinite set. There is not a last one. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46812: Got the devil and close to Ix, but like Ducky was desperately seeking motif. Twas another groan moment on the reveal. Well played. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46810: Also failed, but I did get the reward. I couldn't get the beautiful south out of my head, but was nowhere near a perfect 10. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46790: Great grids, plenty of crossovers! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46812: Brilliant. Only got the June line as looking for a theme! TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46805: .... there, done that, bought the farm. Surprised Great Northern didn't feature. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #46799: Very frustrating. I could see what all four groups were before I'd sorted a single one, but just couldn't separate the last two from each other (was sure that one belonged in only one group, when it had to go in the other) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46812: Excellent! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46799: Astonishing - still loved it even tho not a clue for most of it. Did manage the pink fairies. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #46786: I managed to sort and identify all the groups, but only sorted the 'minamalist' group because minamalist looked like a misspelling of minimalist, so I guessed it must have another word hidden in it (funnily enough, the 'wrong' letter wasn't part of the hidden word). (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46799: Tee Hee (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46804: Yes, good one ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

TzTitan @ #43178: This is one nice grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46789: Another Gordian knot puzzle, was certain I could shout "foul- not unique", however your answers proved me wrong. Very well done TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46790: Sorry Omegaman, you knew you were correct but I missed off your chosen answer (twice) I know how frustrating it can be and have amended both grids (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #46676: Nice one sliding in the 1-800 group. Excellent grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46785: "hic" indeed (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46785: I once said "I should learn to play the grid, not the setter" Well that went to pot. Ended up with 1/10 :-) Thank you ever so Ducky (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #46677: The musk category is comprised of members of the gourd family, not melons. Well done otherwise (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46800: Solved the wall (don't know how) but pleased with that (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #46707: Well done. No clue who JoJo or where her adventures gained renown but well done (3 years, 5 months ago)

bf @ #46796: cute and nice (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #39555: @toon the answer of Shakespeare characters would be totally valid in the show - none of them could be swapped to the Midsummer Night's Dream group, so it could still stand as a category, without problems. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46790: I would have thought that “Mail” would be an acceptable alternative to “Post” (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46792: Nice one TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46768: TY bface and sib. Fixed now. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46782: A charming grid Smiley. Many thanks :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46770: @stj & Aetees. I would have no quibble with the term had they all been famous people from history or more modern people famous for doing something serious. She just seemed out of place in that company who clearly fit the 'modern' definition. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46780: Thanks for the confetti (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46778: Not bad TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #46770: Perhaps celebrity was the wrong choice of word. Would famous people suffice? (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46770: I think I must politely disagree with yourself and Obscurious and that she was indeed a celebrity in her lifetime, a state she did not particularly like. I think that the more modern "celebrity" status has diluted that term to almost meaningless in the sense of achievement. IMO no offense meant (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46770: I'm with my main man (or woman) Obscurious here, I wouldn't call Florence Nightingale a celebrity! Other than that, well done! Good grid! 🌜 (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46773: Nicely done, nice to see some old favourites (3 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #46737: Top__ was what did me in on this. Agree with Informantxgirl that changing "cran" to "goose" would make that one even harder. (3 years, 5 months ago)

sib @ #46765: whip ma whop ma-?? every day's a school day (3 years, 5 months ago)

sib @ #46768: I thought ganache was something edible not paint - should it be gouache? Good grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46770: Very good indeed and educational to thank you Aetees (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46768: Just the five for me, and I have to say bface is correct, but yours is far funnier. Thought pk was pinkie for ages. TY Ducky (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #46618: Please accept 'days' for the days of the week group (3 years, 5 months ago)

bface @ #46768: I think you meant "gouache" (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46770: FN a celebrity!? Fortunately that line picked itself, but that left the last 2 difficult ones and not enough options or time to figure it out (I would never have figured it out.) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #46754: Admiral Dot? and Island? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46768: Couldn't decide whether to fingerpaint the scenery or a still life. Only 6 cos I went for finthingie and feature : ( otherwise quite easy. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

regularCustardCream @ #26719: Nice grid. Got all but the composers. Would recommend. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46765: Must be from Stoke. Whip ma was at the back of my mind but I couldn't get it to shuffle forward. Haven't been there for 50 yrs. Got the rhyme by chance, but didn't connect it. Love the homothingies. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46762: I almost put TC! stj consider it payback for 45012! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46754: Great construction. Went for diving rather than gy - grr. Kept putting Pike in the wrong place as I'd (probably fortunately) never heard of Dot. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46757: Damn, damn, damn could not sperate the two T's and then throw Rebel (Hancock) in the mix. Smashing J thanks 5* (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46757: Wow. That Metro line was hard, but enjoyed the Bana. Needed subtitles at times! Ty J (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46755: Seamless construction, classic Ducky style TY! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46754: Never realised the film one was so complicated. Nice quotes tho. ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #39614: Good grid - I've never watched Avatar, so was convinced Polyphemus belonged in a mythical characters group, I knew that Vulcan, Volturnus and Janus were are all fictional planets, and thought Quirinus could be, so I was completely stumped when trying to sort out the Roman Gods and Fictional Planets groups from each other. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46751: Good one. Liked the loop line, ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46753: An extra star just for the sheer cheek of 'old'. ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46741: (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46742: Very good other than one point: rabbits are NOT rodents. Rabbits differ from rodents in having an extra pair of incisors and in other skeletal features. Rabbits, hares, and a few other species make up the Lagomorpha order. Other than that, well done, keep it up! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46744: Easy Robert Pringle, it wasn't too tough. LrdIntllct, I think you're doing a fine job- keep up the good work! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46734: Thanks for giving it a try J. Especially first thing. I should do one nearer to home for you :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46734: Well I gave it a go! All sounds very picturesque. (another early start for me) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Maartjebabes @ #30982: I don't get points for 'racist insults'? Surely that's what Pom and Yank are. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46735: 2.41 left - a new record for confetti. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46711: 7/10. The Mozzi line is a no-go area for me. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46725: Dang and I'd just finished groaning. 7/10. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46734: 7/10. Didn't know D. Thanks for the recommend. (3 years, 5 months ago)

fun @ #32739: that was fun. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46734: I suppose grids balance in different ways. With many you know the answer by the time you resolve the wall, others its more in working the answer out. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46735: Delightful LQ. Are you working on the hangover by any chance stjohn? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Informantxgirl @ #46737: Overall, good. I didn't know the Settlers of Catan one. I'd suggest changing "cran" to "goose" to make it even harder. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Barry Shitpeas @ #46429: Really good grid with nice variety and red herrings. Took me a while to get the powders and guessed the colonels based on mustard and klink. Not a DC fan, so that group was lost on me and really liked the prison slang, but never saw it. (3 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #46735: very good 10/10 loved it more please :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46735: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 very funny, loved it. Thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #46692: very good.. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46734: Solving the wall is relatively simple geography, knowing what kind of water feature you are looking for is another matter. WD. Seem to remember you have a liking for the outdoors. Thanks Ducky (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46716: Ta ta Obs, I'm about to venture out and work on tomorrow's hangover :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46618: Some things there I had no idea of but I absolutely loved the cool free line - right up my street! Thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46716: I find I have trouble with grids when I have a hangover (mine build up during the day after rather than recede) I should maybe say goodbye for today and save these great grids for tomorrow. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46719: Slarti's problem was that he couldn't really achieve either. Much like me with this grid. : ( Slarti also said 'everyone in the universe gets that' and then got on with collecting awards for Norway. Thanks for this and all your Norways. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tonail @ #46716: Good one. Enough leads to make it work and it helped being a Trekkie. That episode was from 1967. Cupio tibi laetitiam (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46714: Brilliant! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46716: Lovely. Feel like watching the Tribbles episode again! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46719: I suppose the rats eat the seed, stjohn, then the Airedale eats the rats .... So yes, feeding the Airedale :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46719: Thank you Ducky, have a nice day : ) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #46701: good! (3 years, 5 months ago)

HarryRae @ #46713: I thought billy could be both but have updated for clarity! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46719: Lovely fun, ty. Not quite sure, are you feeding the birds or your Airedale? :-) LOL (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeremy Howard @ #3594: Dude this actually was bad. Seriously this puzzle sucked. BAD puzzle. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46715: On a roll this morning Harry! ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46713: Mainly OK , but Billy caught me out. A young goat is a kid, Billy is an adult male. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46707: Also rather brilliant, Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46704: A pleasure! (3 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #46701: Great grid cheers (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46664: @ Jmelb - did you just miss the TP or are you not familiar? If the latter just try or try again. I know the fantasy format doesn't appeal to all, but if you can get past that the humour, humanity and wisdom in the writing is brilliant. Sorry for the lecture, maybe too many beers during tonight's quiz. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #36048: I would have played earlier but my time is limited so I only play a few favourites and I didn't know it was you. You're all so prolific and use so many names its hard to keep up. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46701: Took me ages to get the means of making the whisky, but once I did ... confetti. The story of many a man's life! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #36048: Ah, you found it. Sunnier climes (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #15695: Spanish verb tricky (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #37539: 36048 is the first one and easier. I only did a couple before now. I had to watch the spelling too. Really brushes up on my geoggers tho. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46695: Oh yes, I got it! So good that 'boy' in Latin is pooer:) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46704: No need to play again I just noticed a typo. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #36048: Missed only by mixing up my Ad with my Ae. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #37539: That was the toughest I've tried, all so close. Doesn't help that I can't spell the one beginning with G. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46704: Good grief man. That was rather brilliant! Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46697: 7/10 that time. I put the northern sea before realising you were still stuck in the inlets. Loving the test of geographical awareness. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46695: @ Ducky. I am sure you got it but in case not Sid said "Puer! O Puer! O Puer! which translated means Boy! O Boy! O Boy! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46695: If I may "PR! PR! PR!" you must translate otherwise you may be offended. (Sid James after meeting Amanda Barrie.) :-) 5*BTW (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46695: PDDL JMPR had me hopping around looking for kids games, FRNDS etc for quotes and SYNTHS looking for any word at all! BL MS line had me laughing (which is more than the originals ever did). I got no more than two of any line :( but look forward to future humiliations. Next time I'll remember to refresh so I can relish the puzzle for longer. 5* (3 years, 5 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46688: And I meant fiendish of course :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46688: Devious! A lucky 4/10! (3 years, 5 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46670: Lots of fun. (3 years, 5 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #46684: Fun :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46690: I love a numbers grid, but my post-prandial dip left me too slow to avoid the traffic. If I had used Occam's razor maybe I wouldn't feel so cut up. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46690: Not sure stopping distances is really a category.... (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46681: Good one. Even though repeating out loud 'Princes Skate, Princes Skate, Princes Skate' didnt ring any bells! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46664: You're quite right, cristobal, they do. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46689: good, but a few interchangables - horse race/racehorse, horse stud, (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46689: Enjoyed that TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46680: @ Ducky - thanks, I'd miss the interaction too. And I do understand the need to explain. @ Jmelb - I set up the gag, you delivered the punchline. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ann Non @ #46689: Nice work. Although "race" could be a good addition - race horse, race master and master race. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46689: That was great! "stroke" really enjoyed 5*ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: ps I could name some trolls but its not wise to give them airspace (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Hey Obscurious, hope you know my comment was an attempt at humour. And stj, maybe you are not giving me enough credit with your names lol! Ducky you are a great gridder and a nice person x (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: @Ducky, I am quite relieved you do not need a list of my alter egos as I believe the comment's box is limited to 5000 characters :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: I know who you are now, Obs, it's Ok. I just needed to explain how I got into such a sorry state. I would miss your comments. I'm so sorry. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46680: If I have caused any concern at all I am deeply sorry Ducky. For your comfort, I am no more, no less than a great admirer of your grids and have been so as Foxy, Alien and Rick. I always comment to show appreciation in my 'attempt to be humorous' way. Please keep posting as I can still enjoy without comment if that suits you. Wishing you well without any need for further engagement, again if that suits. If there's any other way I can help, I'll try. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: Thank-you. Boris (who is real) told me not to show weakness, but I couldn't not say what happened. I don't need a list for you stjohn:) It was paranoia that built up over the last month and will just take time to get over. I'd like to know who you think any remaining trolls are, but it might not be a good idea to say? I'll just muddle along. (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46683: I take it you mean the grid failed? Agreed about the homophones, I was trying to inject a little (clumsy) humour. Oh well, never mind (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46684: I do like confetti :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: hear hear J (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Oh my goodness, this makes me so sad. Don't leave please. I understand the annoyance of trolls, having put up with them here (along with a couple of other undeserving souls.) In fact that is why I have to change names occasionally - because I find the criticism too harsh. Happily it doesn't take my 'band of brothers' too long to work it out. There are some here who's comradeship (and grids) I enjoy and so I stick around. If it is all too hard for you, then take a break but please trust that there are many here who are genuine boring people - just like me! (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: *will list (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46680: @Ducky - Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I and many of us have been the subject of mean, nasty comments by a few loathsome people who take heartless pleasure in despoiling things, pulling wings of flies or obscene graffiti etc. Because it is easy to change ones setters name or use an existing setter to make false grids or apply comments, it is very difficult to say for sure who is who. I try to look at the style, content and level of competency and play along. Jmelb knows many (not all) of my identities. J has also morphed a few times. If you wish I list ALL mine and be clear. However the MOST important thing is your health and well being. If you need to leave again for that sake, then do so. Know that you have PuzzGrid friends. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: I'm sorry Obs. I shouldn't have said that. Your grid was a major turning point. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46680: In my first messages I adopted online advice to not feed/engage the troll. Only puzzgrid could remove the habitat (the grid making). Communication needed to be clear and brief, IMO. I never expected comms from us within grids, because that would mean we potentially had to read troll grids with a nasty twist. When you started appearing I didn’t know if you were troll, or you following a new lead, not mine. I didn’t know how successful puzzgrid could be. I vascillated and worried constantly. Eventually I became ill and my family and doctor told me to stay off the site. I did for a while, but when I returned I just couldn’t read anything reliably. I saw multiple possibilities all the time. Mostly I was convinced most/all of you were trolls. So much more to this, I can’t explain it all. I still struggle with paranoia (for the first time BTW) and I just don’t know who some of you are. You think you were clear but it just wasn’t clear for me. ‘Never ‘goner’ give you up? ’ You, or a persistent stalker!! I took a leap of faith and I was shaking like a leaf. I’ll stay unless JMelb tells me that the consensus is for me to go. I can’t say how sorry I am. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Quizbeard @ #46682: Great grid - thanks! Just missed out on full score with my lack of Carpenters knowledge 👍 (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tonail @ #46683: Failed because of some of the questionable homophones. Thought it was going to be easy after the sparrow link! Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46680: Confetti with 2 secs left. So many could have so many answers. My eye was caught first by Human/Teacher, so it took ages to get Biol out of my head. I'm going to play the cheeky student who thinks they know better than universally respected teacher and say that to avoid giving offence, perhaps using 'old' or 'new' might help and maybe having Vulgar/Lover? Ducks behind desk .... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46680: Perfect, best yet I think. These pairings are 'pure class' but I agree with you about possible offence : D (3 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #46665: Very good, nice red herrings as well ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46657: Nice concept. Sent me sideways! Spent a long time just staring at it... (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46664: Lots of fun! Lack of TP let me down. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46657: Agreed, very hard but good TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46599: Thanks Geoggers. Much easier and very clearly watery. Just went a bit too far North of Bergen, so no soluble confetti. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #27868: My god, i almost understood (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ducky @ #46657: Thanks Obs:) There are some obscure ones in there. A new format always takes some getting used to. Yesterdays one, under Geoggers, is easier. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46664: Brilliant. Only 5/10 because of time constraint, I was getting there but SSH and SH were really difficult. Extra star for featuring TP. 6*. I'll have to remember whisper my order in some restaurants! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46657: Gulp! That was tough. My compass dial is still spinning. Kept wanting to put the other side of the coast eg Cuba. Even when seeing what you were getting at, some of the those places were obscure. Should have got two pts but ended up with 0. Love the format, which I've not seen before. 5*.

Ducky @ #46597: Another of mine. Doris was against putting Jerusalem in, but Obelix thought it would reclaim the city to it's rightful place in our minds. Doris was right, this time. Think I'll just be Ducky now and leave the multiple personalities behind. (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46646: Haha - knew all the quotes, had no idea which plays 3 of them came from! Excellent! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Rishi Coupland @ #17330: Really good! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Deb @ #46581: Act OUT, take OUT (etc.) also works, at least in American English. Otherwise an excellent grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Khitty @ #46592: "Piggy" was a nice red herring. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #13139: please include the term 'anagram' as I believe many would use that as a valid response. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #11704: Nothing to solve, lazy grid. Just a case of putting names in groups because they're all had the same occupation. Nothing to work out here, you either know it or you don't. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Chester @ #46559: No, but then I'm prefect :-) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Oceano @ #46555: Nice one with all that misdirection. Siegfried is way too niche for me, I don't even know the reference. Are Paris and Paras really homophones? That second vowel in Paras is a short I? (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46559: Drat, I am doing that a lot lately. Can't fix it either as the grids have stopped showing up in my emails. Is that happening to you? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46521: One group are all pastries but that plural is not accepted (3 years, 5 months ago)

julian @ #46546: Enjoyed it, but one factual nitpick: Stanford is not an "Ivy League" uni, but Harvard, Yale, Brown, and Cornell are, which makes those two groups a bit difficult. As the group is just "US universities," Pratt and Brown become nearly interchangeable. (3 years, 5 months ago)

anon @ #46530: 2 lines extremely clever but nigh on impossible to get and 2 lines of banality (3 years, 5 months ago)

Borophyll @ #46418: Excellent puzzle! Props for accepting "heterophones" for the relay clue. I couldn't think of any other way to describe them, so I was pleasantly surprised when my answer was accepted. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #46507: Very good (3 years, 5 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #46521: This grid is quite good however, it is not a UNIQUE solution and therefore doesn't work. You can swap Scatter with Histogram, as Scatter is a type of chart and Histogram contains RAM. Also if you really want to overthink it, you can put scatter in the chart group, move line to the fishing group and then take Reel and place it in the animal group (Eel) But we wont bother taking it that far!!

Boris&Doris @ #35781: Ducky here (where else!). Is this change enough for you? I'm flying blind and am obviously the Forrest Gump of cryptic at the best of times. Dearest setters, you must make your own decisions. I'm really not sure at this point how it will pan out if we go back to normal, but we can see. Speak plainly if you want to.

ben @ #38526: "currencies" not accepted. it's probably the best answer so i'll leave a comment (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46489: 1st row doesn't make sense. The David Bowie song is Suffragette City- Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am is by Dean Martin. I did like the palindrome clue, however. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46496: Most actresses these days seem to prefer to be known as actors, so female actors should be an acceptable answer. Otherwise great grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

George @ #46493: Thank you. Great grid! (3 years, 5 months ago)

asp @ #46455: Kitty and Khitty, I know, and I apologize. For some reason I never got the link that lets me edit the grid, and I can't figure out how else to do so. Frustrating for me too. Thanks for playing! (3 years, 5 months ago)

egerg @ #46407: Thanks. I had a quick google to see if they could be high-carb foods and a lot of places said yes - I'll add staple food as an option, that's a much better way of putting it. For the homophones all of them are if you pronounce them very English-ly; none of them are in a French accent. (3 years, 5 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #46233: Good grid. Ty (3 years, 5 months ago)

srnka @ #46440: A fairly meh wall. The author should have gone for the more specific group with Henry (possibly replacing Breville by Dyson, e.g.) and/or still accept the more specific meaning as Breville does make hand-held vacuums. The UK and US groups felt a bit too arbitrary. In general, having to make two separate distinctions "group A but only these" and "group B but only those" for two overlapping groups will usually lead to poor results. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Stuart Pecksen @ #46431: Ah you got me good with this one. Well played! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dan @ #46490: Not great. Massive overlap between the categories means multiple possible solutions, so just guesswork (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #31367: Scampi, calm down and be polite. It was better than "O.K." Lucy, this was a fantastic grid- my one point of contest would be the disallowing of 'Fart' as an acceptable answer for the third row :D Other than that, keep up the good work. I think you're doing a fine job. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Holy Crow @ #46418: @Cajun Relay as in a race has a different pronunciation than to relay a message. There is also relay as in to relay tile which is a different pronunciation from the other two as well. This one is definitely trickier than the others because the difference is what part of the word is emphasized. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #46407: Lentils and Quinoa aren't known as starchy foods - they're higher protein than many other staple foods, but staple foods wasn't accepted as a link. Cat isn't a homophone for quatre. That said, I found all the groups in under two minutes, and the only connection I wasn't given was the food group ( which was the first group I sorted from the grid). (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46401: ditto that Tonail (3 years, 5 months ago)

Harry Tablet @ #46409: Luke?!?!?!?! (3 years, 5 months ago)

sib @ #46313: Eh? What letter of the alphabet is that? (3 years, 5 months ago)

sib @ #46414: great grid :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #45766: Nice one! No clue on the programming but fun otherwise. Nice use of herrings (3 years, 5 months ago)

Holy Crow @ #46394: @Cajun Oops my mistake, I fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #27834: Another treasure, hit the spot? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46392: Almost made an ‘arse’ out of myself ‘butt’ managed to get there! lol (3 years, 5 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46413: WOW - more cross overs than a main car dealership! I think I need a Spanish holiday after that! Great stuff (3 years, 5 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46415: Good grid & would have been easier if I hadn’t kept on reading picked as pickled! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #46360: Lovely. Definitely more than adequate. Thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #46359: Excellent. Fun and clever. Thank you (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #31313: Not unique (3 years, 5 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #45932: Thanks @GuiltyEric. I've done a whole bunch of image and audio walls. If you want to do more you can search for the image ones here via 'Best Grids' but not audio (I think). And/or follow #ocwall on Twitter. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #45890: awesome misdirect with the all set (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #45906: Nice grid. No clue on the Japanese things. Watchdog is the only compound word though. The others are 2 separate words that make the phrase (3 years, 5 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #46404: Good TY nice red herrings, had me going round in circles. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Tonail @ #46401: ditto that Dee Dee (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #46390: The 'can be proceded by Dom' line was incorrect for many reasons e.g there is no such thing or person as Dom King (you may mean KingDom - Kingdom? In which case 'dom' is a 'suffix'. Also, the word 'proceded'? (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #46401: No 'figuring out' entirely based on knowing relatively obscure trivia. Totally unsatisfying grid. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dee Dee @ #8355: Good grid (3 years, 5 months ago)

Trundle @ #46379: Amazing grid! Thanks (3 years, 5 months ago)

verasteine @ #46394: The chess group threw me, very enjoyable! (3 years, 5 months ago)

CSS @ #46392: Lovely grid, quick but enjoyable :) (3 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #46398: Very Nice (although crow is interchangable) (3 years, 5 months ago)

abalqa @ #46391: Bunny and Warren were one person. A bit naughty? or is it just sneaky? (3 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #46368: great! (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #45235: Not easy for Americans either. I'm betting not many realize Hoover had military service (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #45386: well thought out. simple but well done (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cajun @ #45887: Nice herrings for the sweet category. Well done (3 years, 5 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #46368: Loved it. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Guilty Eric @ #45143: more like this please. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Dogms @ #12914: Had no idea about the peasants revolt leaders and failed to sort them from the rock singers in time (and failed to identify the peasants'revolt as a category). If Simmons had been in in the singers group, rather than Simmonds, I'd probably have sorted the group, but you presumably chose a less well known rock musician to make it trickier. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Guilty Eric @ #45932: more of this please, Smiley. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Guilty Eric @ #46129: Lots of fun. (3 years, 5 months ago)

MrG @ #46362: Another good one osw. Keep it up. Got all the links but some of my answers wrong. Good though (3 years, 5 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46366: Sorry, I have made the same mistake with both of these recent grids. It is only one of the squares but the same one on both of them... I have mixed the synonym and the antonym up and vice versa: the 'Lovechilds' and the 'Wedlock-children' should be swapped. I will change it as soon as I get the link to my email. Enjoy anyway!

Wd @ #46327: O pen? Surely clue should have been O (3 years, 5 months ago)

Obscurious @ #46286: I once stayed in Cromer at a B&B with my mates Rob, Hugh, Dan and Jimmy. Gordon served behind the bar, it was a plum job requiring a great deal of skill, but what was served up just made us groan. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Adranse gonda @ #46336: I've got to say, a good grid, but I'm afraid maybe one of the last ones, this website is at war with anoying kids trying to wreck it, enjoy it whilst it lasts (3 years, 5 months ago)

Adranse gonda @ #46341: No no I really enjoyed it, good grid and I hope to see more from you man (3 years, 5 months ago)

Hanklan Flaudtolo @ #46342: George I think you might be correct, we shall enjoy puzzgrid whilst it lasts. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46336: Nice style but didn’t accept obvious words like impressionists, scientists & Ex / X words which would have been ok if there was an explanation of the connections. (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jmelb @ #46342: Its not me (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46341: (yes it won't be popular) (3 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #46333: A little too straightforward, could do with some crossovers (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46336: Like your grids overall. Could you put a general association word in the explanations though? ie artist, before listing the names. TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46305: A nice mix TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

JMT @ #46304: I enjoyed this but ran short of time TY (3 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46281: Crows = corvids (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dowbar @ #40849: It accepted Bob for me. However FM is nothing to do with wavelength groups - it's a way of putting the sound onto a radio carrier wave. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46274: Words start with letter sounds doesn’t work despite being mostly the words in the answer in a different order (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dowbar @ #46291: ...and you left the vowel in Aniston! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jose Mourinho @ #46291: Sorry to be picky. Vn vrd needs to be vnh vrd, it's Portuguese... Nice effort otherwise (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #43318: Nicely done! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #43382: Well said, Cancan. It doesn't work in American English either (3 years, 6 months ago)

AaPp @ #45712: Bay Ruth was not named after a US president. At one point the manufacturer's claimed it was named after the daughter or granddaughter of a president, but that was almost certainly nonsense to cover for trademark infringement on Babe Ruth who was a rising star at the time. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Caroline @ #46182: I only figured out the vowels at the last second, but it was really well done. The red herrings definitely got me, but I enjoyed this a lot. Thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46289: Great grid TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #43563: These are not metric units. They are all measurements used in electronics or electrical calculations (3 years, 6 months ago)

JS @ #46303: Most enjoyable idea. There are some ambiguities: Turk 182 / 50 Cent and Sham 69 / 17 by Avril Lavigne. Also 22, 50, 123, 451, 1984 and 2001 are all in the same 2 groups. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Zaphy @ #46274: Overall alright. One of the connections is a big stretch due to how vague it is, though. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Kazza K @ #46303: Nice grid - I knew what the group themes were, but just couldn’t get the right combinations!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #46288: Thanks for the puzzle Harley. Often the case when you play with groups of names - I think there's more than one solution. Swap Abraham and Benjamin? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Chris G @ #10088: (3 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #46299: Thanks Ref. I failed miserably to solve it; in fact even with the answer in front of me I didn't understand one of the groups :-)) 2 mini moans: When submitting a grid all clues should begin with a capital letter - it saves confusion re names etc. Mixing surnames & first names in one section - bit questionable (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jamie @ #46288: Could Biblical names be accepted for the Abraham group? Otherwise very good grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Shore @ #46284: Tricky, but impressive (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46233: 👏🏻 (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #46203: Cross is your answer, Cross is my answer but I am cross because it didn’t get the points. 2 Centrals is not good form. This is the same as #46202. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #46280: Crossover / red herring hell... good though! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Alan @ #46262: A well-planned wall. Lots of puzzles here don't pay attention to crossovers. Nicely done. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46266: My French self is with 'Dowbar' here: the plural of mongoose is mongooses. Other than that this is a good grid (as much as I believe that this so-called 'legalese' is a notion meant to keep the legal system in pocket, and the working-classes impoverished. Good Day! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46098: (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jean-Luc Lumiere @ #46098: Tre Bien!!! Sehr gut grid, yet quite easy where weekly grids are concerned! I enjoyed this grid greatly, but I expected it to be a little more difficult. Well Done! (3 years, 6 months ago)

sib @ #46252: I've been typing for nearly 50 years and i've never seen pipe on a keyboard. Your spoonerisms didn't make sense. They should be words that are used and not some random words that you've picked - the worst of them being "cooler/lucre". (3 years, 6 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #35391: Age is a measurement is it? How long is it? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun @ #46243: Well done (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #46247: Fantastic. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #46204: Solved the grid with a minute to go, accidentally sorting Australian territories and states, by pressing randomly to find the ones which weren't in the time zone group. The Australian states group was the only group I failed to identify once they were sorted (my not spotting it was nothing to do with Northern being a territory rather than a state).

verasteine @ #46198: Lovely red herrings, enjoyed this. (3 years, 6 months ago)

clockwork58 @ #46209: Thanks for the advice. The Dalton Category are surnames of people who won the VC at Rourkes drift. I agree with "knife" should work. My mistake I disagree re the sports presenter. These are the first four main presenters of match of the day. In order. Sports presenters is too general in my opinion Thanks for taking the time (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Silberman @ #46242: Thanks, Scoobydont. I have added 'club'. Give yourself an extra point! I like others coming up with connections that I had not considered. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ells @ #46243: Hey everyone, I hope you liked my first grid! If you have any feedback, let me know :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46242: Cripes! Took ages to get going but managed the groups but only 2 connections. I entered ‘clubs’ for the Culture group which could be an alternative answer. Testing & good one. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46235: Wow! So frustrating. Knew the groups - just couldn’t get the right selections for 3 of them! Another like this please :-) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46238: Very good indeed (3 years, 6 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #46230: Nice One - clever cross-overs - no complaints (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2264: Marvin: you're way too picky - what's wrong with play dance november ten?

Dogms @ #7062: Sorted the groups in just over two minutes. I've never heard of an ivy League hairdo, but put it into that group when mullet went into the fish group, sheerleg was rejected, nothing else was plausible, and ivy League didn't obviously belong elsewhere. I'll now have to Google that and sheerleg, as I've no clue what it is, apart from general lifting equipment. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #12138: Good grid. Logical connections, that I can't quibble with (unlike a lot of other grids I've done).Glad I got the groups in the order I did - I've never heard of 'old navy' in my life, so would have been stumped if I'd not definitely known the other three in the group, and wouldn't have gone for that grouping, if I'd not had only that and the Spanish colours left. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #35663: Extremely easy to spot the groups (solved all four in 25 seconds), but 'they all mean inactive' wasn't accepted as a connection, for the 'synonyms' group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #186: Fun grid. Picked out the groups in just over minute, but when doing the connections, I took about four minutes staring at my final group before I realised it was 'fly' (must be my allergy to sport). (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #12924: Quite satisfying -had to abandon the first two groups I spotted (Kings and Detectives) because of the red herrings,but once I'd sorted the 'code' group (slightly confusef by 'code red' when the others were '___code') my final two groups fell into place. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #28219: Nice grid - solved in two minutes. Slightly annoying that 'teasing' wasn't accepted for the 'take the piss' hroup (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #16396: Clever (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #4165: Really enjoyed this one. Good grid. I got the Billy/Billie group first, then because of was left over, the Crystal maze group (brilliant) became obvious. Once those four were found, I saw there must be medals, but actually found the Age group easier to sort. I'm afraid the Medal group felt a bit messy - two that were '____medal', one 'medal___', and one which was just a medal, but doesn't have the word 'medal' in its name. They were all medals though, so it still works as a group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #37065: Nice! This is one where I had a good idea what the categories were, but couldn't remember which phrase came from where. (Is it THE WESTING GAME that has the line "all famous quotations are either from the bible or Shakespeare"?) I could've sworn 'skin of my teeth' was Shakespearean. It sounds like a Shakespearism, anyway, a la 'wearing your heart on your sleeve'. I didn't identify the Shakespeare category any more narrowly than "Shakespeare" though, so thanks for accepting that answer. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Obscurious @ #45980: I'm bound to agree with 6* but hardly a stroll. Lots of scurrying around, losing my footing and staggering to a limp finish. Sorry for rambling on. Strut your stuff JMT, bravo. (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45996: nice (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #46008: Cool. Quite easy. Didn't know the Marvel villains so I was nicely diverted by the Taskmaster and Bullseye clues! Keep them coming! (3 years, 6 months ago)

George @ #45979: Best grid yet. Thanks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

JMT @ #45977: Polish also (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #24428: Whilst Stan Laurel appeared in some silent films, he's mainly known for talkies - all his feature films were talkies. Also 'members of the clergy' was rejected as an answer to the clergy' group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45977: I thought Chalka/Challah was traditionally a Jewish bread? Simnel instead? (3 years, 6 months ago)

JMT @ #45981: Nice TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #24439: Excellent grid. Took me a while to notice the concealed arses, which made me laugh, because I'm childish. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #24458: True Lies is the only real oxymoron in the group, Bittersweet just about fits, Act Naturally is a big stretch and Good Grief is just wrong. I worked out that 'Group' once the time ran out, but as I've not heard any Dido songs except 'Life For Rent', it really scuppered me. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #24463: Torchwood is s spin-off not a sequel. (3 years, 6 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45966: Really enjoy this type of puzzle TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45939: How are puzzlers expected to guess the setter is looking for Madagascar when they are just wild animals which might be seen on a safari? Enjoyed solving it and as you say we can all correct the score in our head. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45933: The story group are all synonyms and countries should be an acceptable answer. (3 years, 6 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45964: p.s I scored 0/10 but enjoyed it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45964: Could not get a handle on this grid till I did a little research. Just one point for others if I may, would omit 'famous' from your answer. All in all a very good puzz. (3 years, 6 months ago)

leels @ #30374: It's Soo. There is no puppet called Sue so there was no chance of me getting this grid right. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45879: Agree with Eric that flora should be added to the botanical group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

I was on the verge of putting colours of the rainbow, but tried jellybabies instead, for some reason....... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #45596: Brit also. So couldn't get the lot. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pastramius @ #45949: Overall nice. I wonder if you might add 'sausage' as an option for the deli meat one as all of them could fit there as well. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #45881: Lovely. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #45887: Nice to do. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #45917: Fun one, thanks. (3 years, 6 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45939: yea, I agree with the "more specific" part. But good thing it doesn't keep track of your real scores. In your heart, you'll know if you're right or wrong. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pastramius @ #45939: good one, enjoyed the 'misspelled' ones. Wish there was a way it could be like 'more specific' for certain categories because I put animals which I figured was too broad but what can you do (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45937: That was fun! (3 years, 6 months ago)

sib @ #45935: Nice one ;) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Classic G @ #45937: Fixed it thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

sib @ #45937: Error in your grid mate, you've got Franz Ferdinand twice and no Calvin Harris (3 years, 6 months ago)

Zlatan @ #45899: Glad you liked it! There's a little bonus joke in there for Peter Kay fans (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #29197: I don't know why I'm so ridiculously happy that you know that quarks come in flavors. It's such a goofy yet charming (heh) term for 'type'. Like knowing owls come in parliaments, or a female donkey is a jenny. @Bob "They seek to make an ass of me!" (paraphrased) Lysander tipped me off here, same as the others (I wonder how tricky the category would be if you included 'Hero' instead). I forgot about Snug the joiner for ages before some missed gear in my brain finally clicked. The -ander category was my last to get. I figured it had to be something like a shared suffix. Don't remember what finally clued me in. To be honest, after the other categories, the 'toys' was almost too easy. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #45906: @rts Aha, you're welcome! Spending time around anime enthusiasts has pretty much made yokai/youkai a loanword (into my English, at least). Good luck with the puzzling! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #26302: 'Minced oath' is common term for an alternative to profanity. Aside from that, this puzzle tripped me up - good work! I figured _oyster_ had to be one of those mushrooms, so that had me stumped for a while. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #34038: With _polar_ and _focal_ I was expecting something to do with coordinates or optics. ^_^; Very much overthinking on my part. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Donna @ #45930: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Yours is missing letters (3 years, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #203: Fun grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #16102: Nice use of red herrings (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #39625: Took me a while to get the Hemingway category... "Bazooka" is what clued me in to gum brands, since it was so out there compared to the other weapons, heh. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #423: "good call" works because it's an established phrase (Ex: "I got an extra tub of butter in case the recipe comes out too dry." "Ooh, good call"). 'Winter ball' is a bit shakier, I admit, but apparently it's a common name for a dance in US high schools. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #45917: Nice one. Thank you (3 years, 6 months ago)

quizzer @ #45917: Should have just "it" for Perm, Trans, Orb, Pulp. as well as "its" as both are right. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen Nolan @ #45805: I put tinder. What an absolute eejit (3 years, 6 months ago)

Khitty @ #45906: Should the Japanese folklore category accept 'yokai'? I guessed at the watches and beers, but it worked because I had an idea from at least one of the entries in the category. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jack Swanson @ #45865: It was okay (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pastramius @ #30704: Fun unity theme running nice one (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pastramius @ #2161: I like this one the fish one is a little odd as they are all animals by themselves i wonder if a 4th where it was something that wasn't an animal would make it cleaner but overall fun (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45883: For some of us they are just US cities. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Robert Pringle @ #10121: Roads made out of bricks????? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2161: No crossovers or red herrings; palindromes too easy, especially when only 4. Definitely not medium (3 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #45880: Nickle/nickel is an element not alloy (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2151: Caitlin is an Irish name, it isn't short for Catherine. The Pool group isn't good - you might say slush fund, but you wouldn't use that with the others and bounty is something completely different anyway (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #2148: trial doesn't really work for that group, it should be try, but obv you had already used that. Not good (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #5795: you should include 'home' as an acceptable definition! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #28438: Yes but where is LILU? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #30704: very good. and we've been super grumpy today. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #34868: should allow ax with no e for Americans present! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #45562: Seems harsh that we typed "off screen" for the Maris group and didn't get the score! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #37161: some more generous keywords for the tic one would be nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pastramius @ #45860: Same comment as 'd' if you could add painter so it counts as correct that'd be great! Nice work on the whole! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pastramius @ #45826: Overall I enjoyed it. Re: Cajun's comments on the helicopter. I'm not sure how "cobra" would connect to Native American as cobras are not native to the Americas. So I don't feel that would cross over. Anyway I'm sure we can argue it all day. I enjoyed it. Keep making the puzzles you like making. I have no problem with having a whole fake group either (3 years, 6 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45864: Liked it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

JMT @ #45881: Good ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Si @ #45879: As above, 'Rose' & changeable with (Robert) Plant & also 'Beck' has fronted his own band. Nice concept, just need to tweak and republish :-) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dogms @ #42260: The group's didn't quite work - Mary could legitimately have gone into the musicals group (Mary Poppins) and either Jesus or Joseph could have gone into the Nativity group instead. They shouldn't be interchangeable. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45820: I wouldn’t describe a witch as a monster. I put horror film subjects. (3 years, 6 months ago)

puzzgridfan @ #45820: Octopuses are not arachnids. Otherwise a nice grid, I enjoyed it! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45847: Seems that Mr Pedantic is doing my job. I'll go for a cup of tea and some cake. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Pedantic @ #45847: Have awarded 5* (though somewhat reluctantly) because of the effort, however 4 groups with a minimum of 5 options and one with 7 options means it will be infuriating. Not entirely sure Davis cannot be swapped with Murphy or Williams.. Well done on the construction and research. (3 years, 6 months ago)

JS @ #45826: Re buzzkc's comment: Your pet peeve (of a red herring group) is very much just that. I enjoy trying an obvious group, finding it to be wrong and then having to look for a new angle to solve the grid. It is to the credit of our many contributors that these puzzles are different and appeal in different ways to different people. (3 years, 6 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45844: VERY tough, I got one set. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gomersalls @ #44787: Very well balanced! Hard but fair. (3 years, 6 months ago)

LiamFlag @ #45839: Excellent grid. Nicely on the border of doable and challenging. Burton didn’t direct Batman Forever, not that it impacts the grid. You can thank Joel Schumacher for that abomination of a movie (3 years, 6 months ago)

buzzkc @ #45826: Came to say the same thing as Cajun re: helicopter names. Also, a pet peeve of mine with these puzzles is having a red herring group that doesn't end up being its own category in the end. It's fine to have the same "obvious" group of more than 4 words, but when they're all spread out among the four groups in the end, it doesn't make it as rewarding as finally weeding out the correct 4 for that "obvious" group. (3 years, 6 months ago)

sib @ #45837: Good grid :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Pedantic @ #45839: Solved the wall but no points after that, bravo nice grid ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #45805: I enjoyed that. It is nice to have an easy one every now and again. (3 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #45795: Loved your other recent grid but don't think this one entirely works. Cast isn't a synonym for "to glance at something" (you can cast a glance - or cast an eye over something - but you can't say "I cast the book" to mean "I glanced at the book"). Same with the voting definition - you can cast a vote but cast on its own doesn't mean "the action of voting". And various others are kind of dodgy eg a spring isn't a freshwater lake. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Eolan @ #45809: Aside from the 1916 Easter Rising, what were the other Dublin based revolutions. Most of the famous ones in Ireland I can recall were well outside of Dublin. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Smithy @ #45794: oops - found a little tricky as in German despite filtering by English (3 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #45821: Love the grid! Can you add "sitcoms" as an alternative to "comedy shows"? Would have got 10/10 but was marked incorrect for that :-( (3 years, 6 months ago)

Smithy @ #45804: feel Milan is fine as it wasn't one of the football teams - the red herring (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Pedantic @ #45835: Nice grid, spent too long looking for the writers that were not there (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tonail @ #45610: Types of food ! 'movie' ? Needs better construction and red herrings. Come on, you can do it. ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #45610: Sorry, not up to scratch. Putting 'movie' as link to four actors is not good enough, plus no crossovers. Maybe look at some other grids and try again (3 years, 6 months ago)

CoolBar06 @ #45611: Real hard but good (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jamie @ #45585: Doesn't work (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #45602: This made no sense at all. Never heard of free egg or expensive egg. Chick is there twice. What is kits? (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45594: Great! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #45604: Good (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45604: You need to work on your accepted answers. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #45606: Rubbish. Marlborough is not cigarette brand The rest is not good too... first word on tracks on an album... rubbish (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45575: My last one pre-weekend and I was grateful of its pleasantitude. Well done TSCT! (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45589: Excellent! (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45592: Great variation Barber, and why not? (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45594: Very good Jenny. Crocodile threw me. Thinking of Punch & Judy for some reason. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45600: Very good. Banana and ghost bats are also what England used in the last test series v India. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45602: This did make me laugh once I'd seen the answers. Well done, thank you! (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45606: “Alice sighed wearily. "I think you might do something better with the time," she said, "than waste it asking riddles that have spurious answers." (3 years, 6 months ago)

Olev @ #45594: An easy one, spot the birds, then the plurals, then the fruit group (has it been popping up more lately?). Maybe kiwi would add some confusion? Or am I just not seeing the red herrings? (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45602: Two squares with the same word breaches the rule against interchangeable answers. The egg categories are a bit of stretch. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #45005: poor link phrases (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #45006: bad link terms (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #45138: Another really poor one. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #45385: Just bad. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #45386: BAD difficulty rating. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #45519: Very bad...not MARGINALLY close to 'medium difficulty'. Firstly you'd have to have intimate knowledge of a SINGLE performers catalog as well as to have MEMORIZED which obscure songs are on obscure albums. Whoever created this should consider it a complete failure as 'medium' difficulty. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Sam Barker @ #45589: Enjoyed the groupings :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45586: Good one! Although i got one group for completely the wrong reasons - USB, CD, ICT ... I guess being use to looking for tricky clues makes me not see the obvious ones! (3 years, 6 months ago)

jdee @ #45505: loved it :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45365: That was fun! (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45576: You cleverly misled me with Giggs the rapper. I was convinced he was one of the footballers. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Dan @ #45537: Never heard of Hot Tamale (not sure if they are a thing in the UK) but nice group! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #48: I put "atomic or nuclear "and it wasn't awarded the points (just saying!) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #2748: Found this tough and got just three points but I liked the answers when they were revealed. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #30596: Seen something similar before so was on to the themes quickly and just had to sort the red herrings. Done with a minute to spare. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #10577: Soon sorted and got a lovely celebration of streamers. Thanks for it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #45574: I put the last group together based on double letters - they do all have them! It isn't the reason given but is factually correct and valid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45550: Good one. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45557: Good. But prepare yourself Davie. You are about to be pulled up by the usual suspects who'll question your pronunciation of the word "pedantic"! (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45537: I enjoyed that. Had never heard of a 'double boiler' but I learned something today! (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45543: Quite fun except Chanel is a perfume and fashion house named after Coco Chanel; did you mean Channel! (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45537: Tut Tut Honey. You are being watched by some folk who think that this is akin to resitting "A" Levels. Good grid. It had me going. (3 years, 6 months ago)

jacek @ #45528: poggers (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45545: Good. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45543: They're a bit strict on here Barber. Although I was trying to find other words that could be followed by No.5... Good. (3 years, 6 months ago)

JS @ #45521: Frankie would be fun if it was a red herring but not quite right as an actual clue. I like the idea behind the Asamo group but somehow it did not really work for me. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #33156: Monopoly iron. Good one! (3 years, 6 months ago)

JS @ #45543: Quite fun although I found only one red herring? I think that Buggerall is two words and Chanel has two ns. (3 years, 6 months ago)

tim @ #27560: niche! (3 years, 6 months ago)

sib @ #45517: Excellent - loved this grid especially the anagrams (3 years, 6 months ago)

eric @ #45515: good (3 years, 6 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #45480: Calligraphy originated from China, not Japan. Also, I think a lot of people would argue that notan is a feature of art, rather than an art form in and of itself. "Names" is a very broad link (and really, those answers should be capitalized. There's some nice ideas on this grid, but you need to refine it some more. (3 years, 6 months ago)

eric @ #45110: Yes difficult to put my feelings into words on this one - UNSULLIED would seem to be the perfect answer to line two yet is marked as incorrect. People of limited vocabulary should maybe stick to non word games - conkers perhaps........... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Yvonne @ #45445: Not too difficult (3 years, 6 months ago)

Si @ #45415: I think you have missed a word & 'Bass' should be something like 'Double Bass' or 'Bass Violin'. 'Bass' in itself is not an instrument. (3 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #45415: Nice grid, thanks, but can you add more options to allow for different ways people might describe the connections? I got all the links but only 1 was marked as correct because I wrote "cooking equipment", "__fish" and "s___" (Also as others noted you missed the end off "ukulele"!) (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45428: Really challenging. I spotted the appliances. I'm mad with myself for not spotting the artists. I knew there were hats in there, but I didn't get the correct four.

Aetees @ #45426: It is a strange world we live in when a fictional plumber is more famous than a world leader. Strange, but not inaccurate. (3 years, 6 months ago)

KyleM @ #45428: Superb - especially the Bosch curved ball. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #45400: Very good Kylie. However I only got the name affixes because they were small words. Cheating? (3 years, 6 months ago)

JMT @ #45404: Enjoyed Ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

JMT @ #45379: Enjoyed ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #45382: with hexagon in there a better answer would be six sided. Things that are written to be read is a very poor answer (3 years, 6 months ago)

eric @ #45382: Hmmm including hexagon when the connection is hexagonal is lame in the extreme..........similarly what does ' all are written to be read' mean?? As opposed to stuff that is written to be ignored maybe? Very poor effort....... (3 years, 6 months ago)

eric @ #45383: I was marked wrong for saying that the second connection all contains double RR - which they clearly do!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #45371: Cool. I liked this. Not easy, it took me several refreshes! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1793: I thought this was quite a hard grid rather than medium. As to the urethra/gland comments - has no one heard of the red herring/crossover concept? These could only logically be in the group they are in, as everythhing else is used up. (3 years, 6 months ago)

verasteine @ #45331: I saw the bands but I couldn't find them in time. Good grid! (3 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #45296: Nice, fun grid. Did you mean Strongbow for the beer & lager question? (not intended as pedantry - genuinely trying & failing to think of a beer with that image) (3 years, 6 months ago)

WeeCrunch @ #45349: First names of actors in a series I don't watch or like, that's just fiendish! The only name I recognise is a red herring, too. Oh well ;) Nice grid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

ChickenKarma @ #45365: 10/10 :) Loved the Orwellian presence, doubleplusgood. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #45354: Love it! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Boris and Doris @ #35781: Players; the site has been attacked by trolls since last Wednesday (17.03.21). They make grids targeted at setters, with themes of sex and violence designed to intimidate, but trying to make them look like normal grids if you're not the target. They also impersonate setters by taking their names and putting them on their own grids and comments (which the site currently allows!). Please play older grids for now. There are plenty of them. Thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

Boris and Doris @ #35781: Setters; this is a long game. Don't make new grids or comment because of the impersonation problem. It would be helpful if Puzzgrid could stop people making new grids at some point. Our goal is long term protection on the site, not pissing about with one set of trolls. Some sites have volunteer moderators - a thought for the future. We're sure you've all found and followed general advice on trolling. We watch and wait. Our love and thoughts are with you m'dears.

Devereux @ #45325: Good grid! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45332: Completed with 1 second to spare! I only got 1 group legitimately, (flamingo), guessed another group (they were the only 4 animals left) and stabbed randomly in the dying seconds to get the 3rd and fourth! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Wd @ #45300: Ain’t no Sussex anymore. East Sussex yes, West Sussex yes. Sussex no. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #45324: This sort of grid is why it would be nice to have tags or more filter options on the site. I am not tech minded so I have no idea how difficult that would be. The grid is far too specialised for someone like me, but I do understand the appeal of specialised grids and have written some myself. If you are, as your user name suggests, new to submitting grids on this site please don't get discouraged. It seems well enough put together but too focused for many of us I suspect. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #45286: A nice grid. Good work. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #24: All the above. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45312: Good grid. The Fa So Do group isn't really from The Sound of Music - the SoM song comes from the names of the notes in a scale. The answer needs to accept "notes" or "scale" (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45311: Nice grid! (You might want to edit the answer to the Morgan line, so that it accepts the singular as well as the plural) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Barber @ #45268: Yes, clever and had chuckles when seeing answers (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45313: Strictly speaking, a pergola isn't really an extension to a house. It's simply a frame for vines to grow along, and it doesn't need to be connected to the building like the other 3 do. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1602: This was grim: didn'taccept us state capitOls, which is ironic; steel sheet? I've heard of sheet ice, but ice sheet? Bar and pie are charts not graphs and I'm unfamiliar with column graph (3 years, 6 months ago)

GavinJ @ #45143: Great grid. Would it be possible to add a label to each square so we can track them as the move around 1,2,3... or A,B,C? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Roy @ #45128: whats the point? (3 years, 6 months ago)

s Mac @ #45141: Time Labyrinth Eclipse and Mother could also be movie titles? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Propane Man @ #45143: A great grid, refreshingly different, but soooo hard to do on a phone! 😬 (3 years, 6 months ago)

kitty @ #45110: "Can be followed by" means the word 'Fresh' could go *after* the clues, which is not the case. As Devereux says, "preceded by" would be more correct. Good board though! (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45121: "primes" is almost a pointless connection as "all words" (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bill Wallace @ #45137: Absolutely bonkers mate! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hypatia @ #45110: No, Devereux's correction is right (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45131: One category unnecessarily complicated. One category way too obscure. (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45135: Great! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45120: Nice grid - without being too spoilery, there's one group that I think can be linked by the word "Pool" as well as the given answer... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45121: @Devereux or the names of snowboard tricks! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #45072: Not sure about the gold group. Gold = golden? Trump, because of the gold Donald Trump statue? And is chicken a Chinese sign or is it rooster? +1 (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #32164: great! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #32344: good (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #32361: gooood (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #32560: fun and easy, thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #32866: nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #33029: good (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #33842: fun (3 years, 6 months ago)

deedeerex @ #45110: @Devereux The link between the clues reads, "Can be followed by 'fresh'", meaning each clue can fit after the word 'fresh'; the implied subject is each clue and not the link itself. Thanks for playing! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #35520: nice one, thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #35915: fun, thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #39903: nice (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #40569: good grid, thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #41057: Is the UK a country, though? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45110: Meat group - "preceded by" not "followed by". 😁 (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45128: Really couldn't be arsed (3 years, 6 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #45128: You basta%$. didn't even get one group...! ;-) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Devereux @ #45121: angles group are also multiples of 90 (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #45099: Thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cal&Vic @ #45124: A very challenging, yet very enjoyable wall! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cal&Vic @ #45064: Fantastic wall. Plenty of red herrings; kept me guessing. But, to be consistent with the other clues in that group, the clue "Down" should really be "Down's." (3 years, 6 months ago)

Esther R @ #583: Yay! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Esther R @ #21280: I love this one. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Esther R @ #45112: What is rotorcraft? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Esther R @ #33156: Thank you for the grid! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Esther R @ #45057: Thank you for the grid! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bishop Trelawney @ #45099: gg. There's also Michaels Bolton and Douglas. (3 years, 6 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #45099: I appear to have replied to my own grid like a plonker instead of complimenting yours here. Too many browser tabs to handle. Lovely work as always, thanks for the puzzlement! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Craig doogan @ #45113: Tobermory is not an island. It is a town on Mull. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #45111: Cracking puzzle. I got 6 on a wing and a prayer. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #45094: Excellent grid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #45111: While I was insufficiently Irish to make much headway it was a well put together grid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Offended Indian @ #45043: I find this racist. Stop it. Get some help (3 years, 6 months ago)

PC Plum @ #45113: Tobermory is the main town on Mull. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Olev @ #34045: Great grid though the last names of creators of a certain type of US TV shows are way too niche for me. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Lulu @ #11686: Fun grid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

PleaseSelectTheRabbit @ #45072: Not sure about the gold group. Gold = golden? Trump, because of the gold Donald Trump statue? And is chicken a Chinese sign or is it rooster? (3 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #45097: rubbish! (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #45087: Great idea TY... First go, it took me nearly the whole time to suss out what the concept was, then reset and really enjoyed solving it. Quality grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #45094: Nice grid. I hoped for Best Actor winners and wasn't too far away. Thanks. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tonail @ #45090: Split the bill, good one. Spent too long chasing the herring! ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Chester @ #45090: What a good grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

JerseySue @ #45090: Great thank you! I thought the city group could also contain body parts? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #45088: Can you edit the capital letters? One group is a giveaway. (Most grids have the first letter in every box as a capital). (3 years, 6 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #45087: great idea struggled to explain what the link is (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #45087: Beautifully put together! (Not too hard for me but I managed to miss all the red herrings). (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #44800: Ambiguity? Swap Barking and Knightsbridge. OK, you have to loosen the 'Knightsbridge' connection to include Barking but this swap does give a perfectly good alternative solution. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #44993: I struggled with the last group (376616 etc) even when I knew the connection. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bingo Little @ #45087: Nice idea and cleverly done, but very hard. (Even if I knew the 'trick' I am not sure I would have solved it in time.) (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #45010: @Ade - you are quite right, must feel good! MCINNERNY. I now realise the errors of my way and should no longer submit such substandard work. Thank the stars for such as you. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #45042: by your standards, that was simplicity itself! particularly chuffed that I actually put "psychopomp" in the text box (3 years, 6 months ago)

TypeB @ #45080: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LODkVkpaVQA&list=PLgwKIfLV3Sw6yU5OU8McxoD9K9bK0MU1-&index=2 (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gerald @ #45042: OH MY GOD i put nickelodeon when it's obviously Cartoon Network...Grim Reaper coming for me (Gerald) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Gerald @ #45042: The legend of the Grim Reaper originates from the Nickelodeon show "The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy." These two kids Billy and Mandy have a friend that is like "death" personified and they hang out and stuff. The whole "Grim Reaper" thing took off from there I believe. (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #45042: for those not familar with the word pschopomp, a wider range of acceptable answers would be good (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45056: Excellent concept, excellent execution - very nice! (3 years, 6 months ago)

5balloons @ #45072: Sheep doesn’t belong in the category you proposed (goat fits better) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ellie @ #45029: Only realised the Prince Andrew connections too late. Funny! (3 years, 6 months ago)

super cool person @ #28408: was not expecting this lol loved it tho!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

super cool person @ #33032: niceee (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45006: The big group are synonyms for large and I described the animal group as extinct. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #45005: I wouldn’t say opaque means cloudy. I thought poor visibility summed the group up better. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tonail @ #44747: Sad weirdo (3 years, 6 months ago)

super cool person @ #12552: LMAO mike wazowski threw me off so bad (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tbone @ #45063: poorly made by an 8 year old (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45056: (Oops, sorry about the double post - and this one!) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45056: I disagree with Matt. A homophone is a word with the same pronunciation and a different meaning. The clues in question are not words so they can not be homophones - even though they do 'sound like' something else. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #45056: I disagree with Matt. A homophone is a word with the same pronunciation and a different meaning. The clues in question are not words so they can not be homophones - even though they do 'sound like' something else. (3 years, 6 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #45056: Enjoyed that one, ty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mike Sadka @ #38018: Hard to do with "pale" instead of "pale" - completely different word and meaning! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #45056: 'sounds like' - homophone is the proper term (3 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #45061: One group could also be something else. Another group is wrong in its definition. You should check the meaning of a couple of words before grouping them together. (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #41508: good (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #42060: good! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #39823: nice (3 years, 6 months ago)

lou @ #44994: This is a caret ^ (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #44993: Top notch, and HIGHLY original. Thank you! As a number theory nerd, I suspect that what would be many solvers' last group in was my FIRST :p (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bee @ #45051: The answers don't seem right - I put in anagram and flower and neither were accepted? You might want to add more words to the key - especially for anagram. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45014: Very nice! Without giving it away, I particularly liked the group that "Fix" fell into :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tonail @ #45046: Daresay Birdwatchers and Twitchers will be posting corrections. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bee @ #45042: The 'Phsycopomps' category was so interesting! I connected them all but that one at the 'Tristan & Isolde' ones were just a good guess and I didn't get the link!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bee @ #45014: Please leave a comment with what you think! (3 years, 6 months ago)

eric @ #45042: i think the Grim Reaper played centre half for Blackburn Rovers in the 1960-70s - i remember being tackled by him in a local derby when i played for Accrington Stanley, the referee booked him and when he asked why he said 'For attempted murder' .....ahhh those were the days (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mistivir @ #16564: Chocolate, potato chips, donuts and ice cream are totally carb-heavy foods! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bond @ #44849: Don't try defining job titles, just put leaders, it takes marks off u for putting british pms (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #45018: Thanks! The challenge with accepting just "B" (if I understand correctly how connections are scored by the site!) is that typing any old word including B, like "browser" or whatever, would result in being scored correct. Hence why I went for something more specific... (3 years, 6 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44964: Nice (3 years, 6 months ago)

tilly @ #45031: Its not me (3 years, 6 months ago)

kitty @ #44800: Good grid but definitely not fiendish. Mad/crazy group could have accepted 'insane' as an answer (3 years, 6 months ago)

Chester @ #45031: How many? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tonail @ #45016: You could have saved it for A for April 1. Good one, you certainly put some time in on that shocker. Looking forward to your next ....B ? ... nty (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #45015: Only 6. Pity I don't know my abba from my elvis! (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44622: I got all four lines. two deliberately and two by accident! (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44814: I knew recognised three Brians but couldn't find the fourth . I could see the synonyms for holy, but I still didn't get the line. Difficult, I did really badly! But fun (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44889: I got all of the lines and all of the links (3 years, 6 months ago)

J Hird-Evans @ #44955: I actually got a couple of lines this time! Enjoyed this. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Bee @ #45005: Cloudy is not a synonym for cloudy but otherwise good! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #45012: Didn't manage any till the 3 minutes were up but was able to work out the categories then. Very good clues, excellent. (That jab obviously didn't do your gridding any harm lol) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #44800: Cracking grid (3 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #44989: Too tough for me. All of the groups would be great sequences round questions in their own right. Very good though. (3 years, 6 months ago)

LSN @ #44988: Did I get any right? Not a chance but I should have done after checking the answers. What a brilliantly thought out grid! 🙂 (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #44989: You were far too generous with accepted answers. Very clever very difficult TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

verasteine @ #44964: The sauces threw me for a loop until I saw the animals, nice work! (3 years, 6 months ago)

verasteine @ #44977: The elements group are also all metals, pity that answer isn't included, and the code group didn't accept code as a connection. Nice red herrings, though! (3 years, 6 months ago)

ChickenKarma @ #44977: Mortimer might be a little niche/obscure... but anything is better than Disney princesses. Smooth grid. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Koldorama @ #44972: Muy original. Muy fácil también, se resuelve de forma instintiva empezando con los infinitivos. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44951: Aren’t disciples the same as apostles? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44942: Same complaint about stationery/ary. The first names stood out as the only capitalised words but were just first names to me. Never heard of Blizzardvark, whatever that is. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44927: Mixed siblings = brother and sister? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cal&Vic @ #44942: You need to fix the connection for the rubber/sharpener/pencil group from stationAry (meaning motionless) to stationEry (meaning what you intended). Otherwise, a great wall. (3 years, 6 months ago)

gamnara @ #44920: I made an error in the entries to this grid. The double entry was supposed to be another word entirely. I was apparently not doing my best when I summited this because I appear to have entered my email address wrong too, so I can't fix it. (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #44920: Do not use squares with the same words. This means interchangable answers need to be correct. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hael @ #44350: The English-Spanish Cognates one is really dumb to me. There are hundreds if not thousands of those. There's no real way to even get that one. Maybe if there is a hint that one of them had to do with language. But without context that one is too ridiculous. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Al @ #44922: broadband Tim McInnerny (3 years, 6 months ago)

Hael @ #44802: Interesting but a little sloppy. Mckinley, Garfield, Kennedy, and Lincoln were successfully or tragically assassinated while in office while reagan was only shot. So it was a confusing connection. But you took Lincoln out of the equation to put him into the Mouth Rushmore category which is the easiest and most obvious connection on a fiendish board. The obama ended Iraq war is okay too. I believe he continued what Bush wanted and it took until 2011 to do so. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Arlen @ #44728: Got it 4 seconds left to spare. Really liked this one; made me think!!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Arlen @ #44751: Excellent, but harder than I thought based on "medium" rating. I had things that end in P for the set with -per. (3 years, 6 months ago)

SRW27 @ #44886: Good grid....thanks.....your house must be bigger than mine; we don't have wings!!! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #44882: I believe using jones to mean desire is a lot more common in America than the UK. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #31028: To the Tower with you! Wasted all my time looking for Balmoral or Highgrove (didn't consider Osborne even though you made it obvious), to complete 4 different houses for one line, so didn't notice the sameness. Lovely set up. 16th century French peter broke wind etc. Like the explanations. I will try to copy. Thank you. (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #44871: Harold and James can be interchanged as indeed they were in 1976. Name grids are tough to pull off, WD & TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #44872: Cant have two squares with the same word, as this means more than one solution should be accepted. Check the guidelines. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #44849: Wonderful grid, Ty. Love reading the answers but I'm a lost cause. Just can't make all the necessary steps. Will play when you make them tho. (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #44865: A toughie (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44862: Cryptopher, job was the clue - you MAY have missed it : D (3 years, 6 months ago)

SRW27 @ #44860: Good grid....thanks (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44861: I'm just too slow on these. Flattened by the vegetables. :( (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44863: Beautiful (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44864: Trickier than the other for me-but excellent as always! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44862: Just the 4 points after the reveal. I saw the theme but couldn't complete the groups in time. I was chasing up the wrong nut tree after seeing Teresa and Maggie together. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44863: Seamless! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #44855: Not forgetting telepathy :D Nice grid, loved the dead line. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #44862: A very sporting chance, thank-you, but I was stuffed in the end. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #44861: Loved the vegetable line - the getable in there to taunt us! (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #44864: No 13? and the Silly/Me line made me furrow my brow. Quality groupings as always TY Ducky (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #44863: Oh very punny LOL. Enjoyed that TY (3 years, 6 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44862: Thanks, I just looked him up - he was stuffed and exhibited! \ : o (3 years, 6 months ago)

dsljds @ #519: I've heard the American pronunciation of laboratory but thought it was just a lazy/common mispronunciation. But I googled it and apparently it's just their accepted pronunciation. Do have to take issue with 'aluminum' though. It's a completely different word from 'aluminium'. Good grid otherwise. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #44828: Really nice grid - I totally failed, but lots of excellent red herrings in there! Without giving it away, I kept plugging away thinking Evanesce may be an error on the part of the creator, but I was barking up the wrong tree! (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #43002: nice and easy (3 years, 6 months ago)

cora @ #43170: nice (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43157: Thanks for the feedback - YMMV of course, but all I can say is I think if you asked most people to name a brand of toilet, it'd be that :p But perhaps the difficulty should be hard, not medium. Leaving that aside, surely that's the point, though? If the other three members of a group are fairly well-known, having a fourth that ISN'T (but is not totally obscure) is part of the challenge...

Mojo872 @ #43305: Hehe - I'd like to say it was skill that I didn't include a fourth (thereby making the grid a bit unfair), but actually I hadn't noticed there were any! (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43734: Although come to think of it, Kepler is in Earth orbit, isn't it? So they're a bit less connected than is usual for a group (three gas giant probes, one space telescope). Still, I've updated it anyway :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo872 @ #43734: Although come to think of it, Kepler is in Earth orbit, isn't it? So they're a bit less connected than is usual for a group (three gas giant probes, one space telescope). Still, I've updated it anyway :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44813: Thanks for feedback everyone. If I've got a theme the clues are easy to set, but I'll probably ease up a bit now. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Ducky @ #44813: Good grief, I'm getting worse! Good going stjohn. The answers made perfect sense tho, which is some improvement. Keep em coming maestro (if you've time) :) (3 years, 6 months ago)

john @ #44814: I don't get why so many people are obsessed with the names of these people's children, it seems to be on every other grid and I've never heard of them outside of these games. Are they really that important? (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44791: @Jmelb - just curious, were they all on one subject? and did you get B+B? I'm also curious if people here are au fait with logic notation. Did you notice the ET and Casablanca lines? (3 years, 6 months ago)

stjohn @ #44791: @Cryptopher - I said "I couldn't" find an in. The grid is yours and your style. No need to change, the more you submit, the more I and others will come to recognise your method. (3 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #38262: Took me a while to work it out (3 years, 6 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1476: Stone age and bronze age must be singular, dark ages must be plural & ice age could be either - not a good set; As anon said, Manfred Mann; and wooden isn't really a type of box in the same way as the others are (3 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptopher @ #44791: Thanks for the kind words - makes the effort worthwhile. Sorry about the lack of 'in', I had thought the bees/butter and Alien/bus might serve. Something for me to think about for the next one. (3 years, 6 months ago)

E. A. @ #44114: I feel like "noise" would also be a correct answer for onomatopia. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jane @ #28578: Annoying that using the technical terms collective nouns and homophones led to correct answers being marked incorrect (3 years, 7 months ago)

Animadversist @ #44687: Better yet, unless the category is synonyms of a word with multiple different definitions, just accept "synonyms" to be a polite puzzle maker. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rob @ #10711: Excellent Theming! Really enjoyed that. (3 years, 7 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44698: @Sam - I agree with the Black Forest thing and have made a small edit. Thanks. (although I may have opened up an entirely new can of worms...!) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robert Jones @ #44698: Excellent and different (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44652: Oh yes! Brilliant - a real humdinger. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44670: So bl**dy annoying/frustrating but good. Really enjoyed trying (and failing) to solve the wall. Was certain solarium belonged to another and then I got too clever with myself with christening. Marvellous possum 5*+ grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

sib @ #44659: This grid makes no sense at all. It's all E's with no explanation (3 years, 7 months ago)

JorgViolspeeler @ #44641: Some of these answers were unfair to class as four of a kind - eg. the three amount of times in a day + how many in a year and the three short distance runs then middle run. (3 years, 7 months ago)

JorgViolspeeler @ #44630: Good number of red herrings. Thought K.P, King of Spain and Duke of Edinburgh all referred to a Philip and spent ages looking for a fourth. (3 years, 7 months ago)

R @ #44659: The worst thing I've ever seen, useless (3 years, 7 months ago)

E @ #44657: I am a sad and lonely individual (3 years, 7 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #44634: I liked it a lot, but a few improvements, if I may...? - Maybe change Cambridge to somewhere else since you get a 'bridge' on a ship. - I said 'Members of the US political system' and didn't get the point... (I realise now I should have said politician or politics, instead!) Really nice grid anyway! :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44652: Yeah. I finished the grid on my tablet which defaults to Alien for comments and I didn't notice. I also outed myself at 44579 (now unsurprisingly disappeared) after Fez thought I might be Lorna. High praise indeed. Maybe time to morph again! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tedescopio @ #44639: Latin looking words, Italian boys' names: very easy grid as you can tell they go together. Never read or seen HP but that was the first category I found. Then it was just a question of choosing between Brighella and ribollita. Easy but sehr fun, danke schön! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jerome pipppin @ #44654: Get a life. Jerome flatley and Pippin/Pipppin are the same person! The comments were posted one minute apart with the same type of spelling mistakes ('where'!) and the same capital on first but not second name. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44665: Obviously not me (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44652: Ooops, sorry Alien DNA, wrong person, my apologies for attributing incorrectly (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44652: Haha, lifted by an explosive device of one's own making. After three goes (honestly) before accepting the reveal I only deciphered two 'Break' and 'Crimes' but that was enough to get me 3 points. I will have to do what I used to and that is do a screen shot and use a pen and paper. Bravo Foxymoron you get your 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #44652: The format is from Possum by way of stjohn & Ducky - the words are my fault. Sorry I tried but couldn't make it easier. (3 years, 7 months ago)

I was going to put half an hour before I saw Roy's comment, he's obviously better than me. I haven't seen this format before, can you or Possum point me to previous please. If you/she don't mind, I'll have a go at one and see if I can make it any easier. PS. Smiley can extend the time period for the pictures/audio. Is there anyway us mortals can do that?

Cenedd @ #44493: If you google it you will find that between 1606 -1614 a man named Julius Caesar was indeed the Chancellor of the Exchequer, just not the Julius Caesar that you are probably all thinking of... Perhaps this is a step too far into obscure red herring territory. But it is a true fact that I now know because of this quiz. (3 years, 7 months ago)

cora @ #44469: nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

B @ #44308: Answers are unhelpful, so you get scored down. I put "parties", it accepts "party"; I put "in", it accepts "out of" : well, if you can be out of something you can most likely also be in it. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44491: Perfect for International Women's Day. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #44209: Not good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dizzle @ #44487: The pronunciation of Wyvern is likely to cause some consternation. And the Star Wars one is just mean, imo. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44479: Words that can be flipped??? Don't you mean palindromes? Why put a dot in front of them? (3 years, 7 months ago)

bill clinton @ #44429: do not use my likeness (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44436: Great job! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Anne @ #44454: Ha! A self-referencing wall. So meta. Such innovation. Weirdly enough the links tiles made it somehow harder for me to find the groups... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Simon @ #44475: Simpsons (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #44452: Josepth should be Joseph (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tony @ #44452: If you know red dwarf then you win (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44464: Comedian does not mean funny, comedy may. There are three nouns pertaining to people who tell jokes and zany does not fit with these. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44460: Whilst the others have island/s in their name, Madagascar does not and is an actual country and nation in its own right. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44443: Just seen - what a dumb young Blackfoot LOL! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #44443: Thank you too! I love using grids to introduce people to wonderful and unexpected things. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44443: 5* grid, but have come to expect nothing else. Any grid with Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump grabs one attention, and when I finish typing I have to check out. Yerushalmi - thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44439: Excellent use of red herrings, I really enjoyed playing thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44438: Clever, rocks and sling never heard of in this context and I have been in the trade for many years. Kid group was top notch. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

verasteine @ #44426: Family member group completely threw me! You might want to edit the nuisance group, I typed 'annoy' as the connection and it didn't accept. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44437: Good mix thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44436: Ran out of time, but had great fun hunting. How many more have you got in store LOL thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44435: Not a particularly difficult grid once one selects the right HPs. Glad you used the word actors otherwise Prince and Phoenix could be swapped, phew! Thanks for posting (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44436: Some cast offs/castaways from earlier. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44423: Also loved this one :D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #44429: Enjoyable TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44427: Realised too late - and some are not too difficult, doh! Such a nice one to work through when I did get it :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

M @ #44363: When words mean the same, please use synonym or synonyms (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44429: Climbed steeply in difficulty for me, but there was just enough to have got the last ones if I'd realised. Nicely done. Many thanks :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44427: Great theming! Nice and difficult - I'll send those birds over : ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44429: Oh yes! Of course. Couldn’t see the wood for the trees there! Thanks. And glad you enjoyed it (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44423: A good grid, a lot of "left field" aspects, thank you Little (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44429: Fantastic, original grid. Only suggestion- allow metals for element line, as they all fit that description! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roy @ #44319: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roy @ #44346: the (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44425: Good grid, mix of obvious and more obscure (to me at least) made the red herrings tasty to find. very enjoyable, thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roy @ #44354: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roy @ #44354: Roy (3 years, 7 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #44427: It Is what it Is! Homes for your birds J. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mary @ #44298: Great work putting this together. Made my neighbours brain work. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44407: I might have gone with Italian film director Roberto Rossellini. Happens to me ALL the time. :D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #44407: Their may be an issue with Maud A,. I agree. Good fun tho' (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #44407: Doh! Just looked back - how did I do that! THANKS (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #44363: I went with Aden, lucky break (ignorant but successful!) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44408: @ Chris Brady, mental point is the most jutting out area of the jawbone : ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #44407: I agree! Appreciate the pick up, what should I correct please? Is there problem with Ringo's wife? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #44408: Chi. ? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #44408: Still don't get chin chin? ;-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44407: Not impossible, I solved one line C Martin, got a couple more right (knew Goldsmith) but I was too specific (meh!) but have to point to an error in your starrs. Its cathartic to do a fiendish one now and then is it not? :- ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Emma @ #44298: Perfect Blend! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #44408: I'm normally not good at cryptics but that was so much fun-certainly made you think. TY (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #44407: Impossible - just for fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ellis @ #44352: All the grids you dropped today were EXCELLENT (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44393: Very nice grid, happy to see the return of some old favourites. Thanks for the confetti (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44403: I seem to be following stj around and agreeing with everything said. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #44399: haha about to post a stinker, that should get up everyone's nose : D (3 years, 7 months ago)

SonjaQoE @ #43953: Sykt bra connecting wall. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44399: Excellent, took me ages to find the key, then complete with 7 secs left. 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44403: I found that very amusing to play, thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Isbo @ #44298: Neighbourstastic! (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44399: To quote Jmelb - "well I liked it", if you will pardon my accent (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tyler @ #44391: sorry (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44381: Well I liked it (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tyler @ #30596: this was very fun :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

ppp123 @ #44363: Good grid, almost ran out of time, Chad was very well hidden! (I was expecting a Middle Eastern country though based on the other 3) (3 years, 7 months ago)

honey @ #34909: this was good it sufficiently rustled my jimmies (3 years, 7 months ago)

honey @ #34910: i dont speak norwegian (3 years, 7 months ago)

honey @ #35230: good one but i dont have the ae thing cause im from the US so dont use that letter anymore or else ill come to norway and pulverize you (jk) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Critic @ #44380: Mistake made, resubmit (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #583: I put "media controls" for the last one, as they aren't necessarily always push buttons. I feel a bit robbed of that. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #44371: I said "media", it said "no, art mediums". But unless we're contacting the dead with our art, I think I am technically correct there. (3 years, 7 months ago)

16ozClwHmr @ #44355: 'Heseltine' is spelled incorrectly! (3 years, 7 months ago)

James @ #44138: Fantastic grid, great use of red herrings! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dcas @ #6692: Tough but enjoyable (3 years, 7 months ago)

risc @ #26241: Superb! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44328: Very elegant. Ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44363: A good grid, just the right amount of red herrings to satisfy, thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44364: @stjohn - Larry was my gift to make up for the amount of red herrings in that group. : ) Thanks for playing. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44364: Lovely grid, I think you were very generous in giving us Larry. Did I solve the wall? - no, I chose three others ending with mine ending "g" Thank you Smiley (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44361: An extra point for everyone! (Would hate to peeve you by being petty). (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44359: I sat staring for 3 minutes. Completely blank. 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44361: Miffed I didn't spot the design, but I won't be roving. You resent the best of pg. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44360: Spent too much time laughing. Beautifully done, Ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44361: Lovely complex grid. No points for finding all the red herrings, which I feel is unfair :D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44359: I really like the CTR line - that 'what might have been' element. I bombed generally, doh :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44360: 5*. Spent all my time looking for the 4th corvid and missing the 4th raptor, so could only pick up chicken feed. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44356: As good as/(5)star(s) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44358: Ashually I found that rather plane and simple. Treemendous. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44362: Grid ascribed very easy and it was. It was pitched just right, thanks for posting. Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44359: Haha me neither! (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44360: Clap, clap, clap. Bravo 16 avian clues beautifully categorised. I think that you will get marked down (unfairly) by some due to the difficulty. Hats off to you. 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44361: I was pleased with myself spotting Piquant, went downhill for me after that, Another quality grid J and it is nice to see variations (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44358: I really had to tool up and pitch in to get this done within time! ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44359: Had three attempts before giving up. Was certain there was an "emesis" connection. I would never have got the CTR line, good research. Thanks J (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44356: Such a pleasure to do. You are the gold standard. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44358: Failed again at the last pugilistic hurdle. Thanks Ducky (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44356: Nice one Ducky, homowotsits let me down. :-] (3 years, 7 months ago)

Screedeath @ #37729: Haha! I'm not cultured enough to get the answers but everything was there. Bravo! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44316: Excellent- love the chess red herring- fooled me! (3 years, 7 months ago)

franc @ #44171: * SPOILER / VERMERK 06.03.21 Änderungen im Grid: Andalusisch, Balearisch, Galicisch wurden aus dem Grid entfernt und ersetzt durch Flämisch, Schottisch, Tansnistrisch. Die vorherige Version fand ich bei genauerer Betrachtung nicht trennscharf genug in Bezug auf die „One correct solution“ Leitlinie: „A good grid should only have one correct solution with the links that the setter has selected...“ Ob sich dies positiv oder negativ auf Kniffligkeit und rote Heringe auswirkt, kann ich selber schwer beurteilen, daher freue ich mich über weiteres Feedback! :-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tempest22 @ #44353: Love this grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44346: Very good first go - the group I liked the best was the mouse one. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tyler @ #38679: Uber has an umlaut, not a diaresis (3 years, 7 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #32225: I have never heard of you Alexi (3 years, 7 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #14124: I said physicists and it was wrong... so yeah constructive (3 years, 7 months ago)

eBarnz @ #44346: This is my first grid, let me know what you think! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Anna @ #38524: Why not put as the connections they all have arseholes? It's as valid as anything else you've chosen. And why do you hate the BAME community as much as you do? (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44313: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44270: Family members = relatives (3 years, 7 months ago)

Devereux @ #43857: Omegaman, you do right. The scores aren't recorded anywhere, so if you get it right, it counts, even if the grid doesn't agree! 😄 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #12552: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44328: Hat's off! very clever grid W.D. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Anna @ #5548: It really wouldn't have killed the setter to have put spelled out the words in as well as used numerals. It's the work of seconds, and if you've any interest in setting an accessible quiz (as opposed to being a festering knob) it's not a bad idea (3 years, 7 months ago)

hello @ #44295: tire should be an acceptable answer for pop-a-wheelie et al (3 years, 7 months ago)

hello @ #44306: nightmare on elm et. all should have 'scary' as acceptable answer (3 years, 7 months ago)

hello @ #36344: I think you should add more possible answers to senator et al and pulpit et al. for pulpit: worship. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lo @ #44303: so sneaky! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lo @ #44308: ENjoyable (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lo @ #44326: good x (3 years, 7 months ago)

Toferino @ #44328: Lovely grid ! Liking the COVID theme... very clever. (3 years, 7 months ago)

gamnara @ #44319: Nice! Really enjoyed this one! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44315: Excellent grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44323: 'Have a function in common' is neither correct or adequate. Very poor. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #43870: "Period" and "Colon" can be swapped so I don't think the solution is unique. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dash @ #44274: The "Flight" category was awful. The only clue that properly fits the stated answer is "Ptolemy" and Cthulhu absolutely does not have a silent letter "C" anywhere in it (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44251: Really enjoyed the theme and the Twit line - couldn't get it so twit was very apt! Different styles; different possibilities. SWALK (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44269: @HippyHoppy - I cannot understand as some items are missing from when I set it. I think I know which line you are referencing and I had corrected the grid. I will not explain here but the solution is now fully explained. Thank you for playing (3 years, 7 months ago)

big dave @ #44298: never seen such a ridiculous wall. only a neighbours fan would have any chance of doingt hat and even then i doubt they would get near completing it. wasted your time (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #44307: Nice idea for a grid but you could swap Us and Get Out, and you could swap either Hidden Figures or The Help with The Color Purple. So it's a nice grid but a flawed one I think. (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #44269: Great grid, really clever! However I'm puzzled by the first group.. (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44308: Enjoyable (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44296: Smashing, haven't played one of these in quite a while (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44303: Sneaky, liked it (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44301: Not a bad selection (3 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #44298: Rubbish (3 years, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #44270: Good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

blue @ #44258: I agree for changing the brand grouping to "designer" or luxury as Tiffany is not a fashion/ clothing company. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Toferino @ #44269: Nice grid - the pedant in me needs to point out that 3.333r is actually three and a third. A third would be 0.333r (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44284: hm..very clever (3 years, 7 months ago)

LSN @ #44269: Brilliant! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44281: Same here. Nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44284: Ho, ho, but no cards, no confetti. :( (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #44281: Lovely grid. Loved the Mr Men!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

McLeod @ #44284: Very nice classic grid - a man of many talents. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44269: Caught on slowly so had the pleasure of playing for longer. Beautiful range of clues and answers, TR6. Brill. (3 years, 7 months ago)

toon @ #44274: never heard of " candle pin" before! I liked the "colon/colony" category. (3 years, 7 months ago)

franc @ #44207: ++++SPOILER++++ Von welcher Seite des Ch-Äquators kommen Sie und wie hat das wohl Ihren Blick auf dem Weg zur Lösung des Grids beeinflusst? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roy @ #44270: nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

franc @ #44171: @Chris Brady: haha, nice one! what drove you to a german wall in the first place? @A: Vielen Dank für das Feedback! Das ist sehr hilfreich, weil ich sonst gar keinen Gradmesser für die Schwierigkeiten und roten Heringe habe. Ich denke Sie haben recht - während das Grid auf den ersten Blick sehr verwirrend ausschaut, sind die Verbindungen dann doch recht geradlinig... Zwei rote Heringe waren darin schon intendiert, aber je nach Reihennfolge des persönlichen Lösungswegs, kann es wohl passieren das man diese gar nicht mitbekommt. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Gerald @ #44213: Good effort here but San Juan isn't a national capital, Puerto Rico is part of the US. Also not really fair to have "San"s as one group and "Saints" as another. Loved the Mambo group! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44269: Ditto. Great stuff. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44269: Caught on fast but loved it. Perfect, 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44251: Well I liked it and it needed the stretch to be challenging. Thanks for the confetti. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #14: Properly constructed. Not hard. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44258: Maybe allow designer labels for the fashion brands? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #13: Yay. A proper wall. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #12: Infantile. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dafny A Gutierrez @ #44241: sdvsvsv (3 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #44229: Never heard of Havana club or Governess cart. Pretty tricky. (3 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #44262: We don't have flashlights in the UK (never call them that here)... we call them torches (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ian Sewell @ #6: Poor. (3 years, 7 months ago)

tim @ #29884: really good one! (3 years, 7 months ago)

tim @ #14766: very good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bry and Jem @ #44237: Hi there Timp. Question if i may? What does Pokemon et al have to do with genetics, i can't sleep thinking about it. Also, heads up, if i'm not mistaken Cicero was in fact ROMAN. XXX (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bry and Jem @ #44251: hi you have tried hard which is appreciated but got to agree with Ms Picky's comments. XXX (3 years, 7 months ago)

sebflyte @ #566: Brilliantly inventive. :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44248: Five star quality. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44249: Woolly or wooly - and is that really a type of headwear? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ms Picky @ #44251: Bit of a reach, lacks the precision of this type. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #10280: Clever and intriguingo (3 years, 7 months ago)

stjohn @ #44235: Excellent, did not solve the wall but did not spoil the fun. Thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #44247: Good grid, a bridges too far for me, thanks for posting (3 years, 7 months ago)

verasteine @ #44227: Nice red herrings, took me a while to see The Beatles group. (3 years, 7 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #44247: Very nice. Missed Parasol and really shouldn't have! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Randy Faquuer @ #44243: Beany wanks his dog (3 years, 7 months ago)

Justin @ #44227: Nice grid, thought for a long time on which row 'Piglet' should be in :) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dcas @ #38694: Why do these emoji grids always get so many positive comments? Baby cheeses , diamond scale_- seriously? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #44167: Good grid.TY. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #44224: As already said, too many variables. Plus the fact that the 1's, 2's and 3's are interchangeable so the grid doesn't work. (3 years, 7 months ago)

SRW27 @ #8199: 4/10... very tough but enjoyable....thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

SRW27 @ #27382: Great grid...thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

JerseySue @ #43946: Safety for Escape? Thanks for the challenge (3 years, 7 months ago)

verasteine @ #44138: Nice red herrings! (3 years, 7 months ago)

verasteine @ #44224: Too many of the same options (like four 1s) makes it almost impossible to identify the groups in time because there are too many variables to try. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #44219: I had toy story and breakfast at Tiffany's and both were given as incorrect. Other than that it was a good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44209: Thanks J. I'm pleasantly surprised to find it still showing. I expected U&H. (3 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #44171: Sehr schöne Connections, so dass auf den ersten Blick gleich aussehendes doch sehr unterschiedlich ist. Durch fehlende rote Heringe aber eher auf der einfachen Seite (3 years, 7 months ago)

Roy @ #44215: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44209: hmm that should probably be O&F! : D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #44209: O&R (original and fun) T&C line stumped me (3 years, 7 months ago)

julian @ #44200: The "Italia" group really stumped me... Very good. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #42204: LED is not Led. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Julian @ #44166: I said "gases", it said "No, gasses". I said "fuel", it said "No, fossil fuels" I said "climate change", it said "No, global warming" I said "regions", it said "No, continents". (3 years, 7 months ago)

Nunya Beeswax @ #38544: I understand that the reindeer were clearly the red herring but having comet, asteroid, and meteor and then broadening the category just to make it fit with nova and pulsar instead of comet is just kinda lazy (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44160: The Christmas story is also known as the nativity and the gospels were written by the disciples or apostles. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44148: Things you put on bread are food. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44114: Sub genres is getting a bit too precise. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #44034: Put clothing brands and place names for the football teams. Suggest some work is needed on the allowable answers. (3 years, 7 months ago)

tim @ #39917: I feel like CMYK should be a valid term for the links in that group? Fun board! (3 years, 7 months ago)

HMFC @ #44192: Who is Eric Cantana? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chantal @ #44138: Great work team. Lots of fun! (3 years, 7 months ago)

franc @ #44171: Huhu liebe connect Verbündete, ich habe zu meiner großen Freude vorgestern diese Plattform entdeckt! Seit dem habe ich ein Paar Wände erstellt... Da es ja keinerlei basic Statistiken zu geben scheint, frage ich mich schon wie viele Menschen diese deutschsprachigen Wände überhaupt machen? Ob meine Wände im Schnitt gut lösbar sind und Sinn ergeben? Diese hier ist vielleicht meine bisher verwirrendste... Wie hat sie für euch geklappt? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #44161: Nice (3 years, 7 months ago)

Sian @ #43111: (3 years, 7 months ago)

Richard Latham @ #43668: A clever grid. Maybe people who marked down the quality were looking for a normal grid (whatever that means) and had not appreciate the cleverness of using numbers as words. It would be good if puzzlegrid let setters add a comment ahead of their grids. That way solvers could be told if it is trying something unusual. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #44138: Yes, you had to narrow down one connection to avoid ambiguities but it's not quite right; polo field, tennis court, bowling green. Perhaps 'Not commonly scheduled over multiple days' works? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Nimesh Nirojan @ #44008: This was fun and easy. I recommend this. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #44083: Saw racecar and level, and thought 'not palindromes again', then realised there wasn't a fourth one! Great grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

tim @ #11973: There is a typo in this one (wollen should be woolen) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Classic G @ #44085: Aetees, that is something I hadn’t considered. It also raises the point that Elfo (spoiler alert for disenchantment) is only a half elf. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Cajun @ #43898: Transportation is misspelled as an answer (3 years, 7 months ago)

Pot @ #44080: Loved the last category "shoulder, butter", etc. Very tricky! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dcas @ #30374: Good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lu @ #44078: Very high quality grid. Good rationale and red herrings. May not be feasible for most audiences. (3 years, 7 months ago)

peddars @ #44106: Good fun ... Didn't totally bomb out, but use of the "british" flag might have been a bit misleading ... LOL (3 years, 7 months ago)

R @ #44110: Nice but waaaaayyy too easy, pretty sure everyone will get 10/10 within 10 seconds on this (3 years, 7 months ago)

R @ #44101: Awesome grid, 9.5/10 for me, might have got the extra Belgium bit if she'd ask, we will never know! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Danimal @ #44083: Managed to do it despite spending the first 40 seconds all confused over a nice little red herring! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #44085: If I were feeling pedantic (which apparently I am since I am typing this) I would say that Buddy isn't really an elf, at least not biologically. I enjoyed the grid though. A rare full house for me. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #44041: Very good (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #44019: Didn't get it all, but I really liked that. ; )) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #44019: I've never gone for these because one word per group seemed hard enough for most people, but this type does give you more options for crossovers etc, making even more of a challenge. Bloody Nora, I had to think fast! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43893: I think the classic books answer is too narrow for this group. As they are from disparate writing genres I classed them as novels as I couldn’t come up with a better link. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43857: Enjoyed the challenge, thanks but film titles = movies so gave myself full marks even though this didn’t. (3 years, 7 months ago)

franc @ #43830: Toll! Ich habe gerade only connect Quiz gegoogelt und war ganz baff deutsche Varianten davon zu finden. Diese Wand hat mir bisher am besten gefallen. Kreative Eindeutschung - Applaus! Ich war zwar nach einer Minute fertig und hab zehn Punkte, aber musste einige Male schmunzeln :-) Mein einziger Einwand wäre, dass "BtM" nicht ganz sauber in die Reihe passt, weil es eine Kategorie und keine Sorte darstellt. Ein Änderungsvorschlag wäre vielleicht MDMA, wobei sich das strenggenommen mit XTC doppeln würde. Aber es könnte eine nette Irritation erzeugen, weil vielleicht kurz der Impuls entsteht nach weiteren vierbuchstabigen Begriffen zu suchen... So oder so, Vielen lieben Dank für die Überraschung!

Devereux @ #43866: Good grid, great fun thanks! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Devereux @ #43857: Ofworm-eaten: there was never any intention of using the correct titles or translations. This was a puzzle to allow people with a smattering of French to work out what the answers might possibly be. It is what it is and it doesn't need any explanations. Sorry about the typo's. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #43862: TR6, the results aren't recorded anywhere. If you got it right, but your answer isn't accepted, don't sweat it - you got it right! (3 years, 7 months ago)

sebflyte @ #28448: Fairly good. 10/10 in less than 1 minute 30 seconds. Surely "inexperienced" rather than "unexperienced"? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43987: I think you should still give yourself the points - singular counts too! : ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

sebflyte @ #25020: Right up my street. Thanks for making this grid. Nice work. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #38526: It's a shame that you wouldn't accept "currencies" for "units of currency". It was pretty good up until that. (3 years, 7 months ago)

sebflyte @ #32600: very smart. Immensely enjoyable. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43987: Very lovely. Happy I didn't come up short. Didn't get the confetty, probably cos I used the singular rather than the plural and didn't put the number. Just lazy I guess. Allergy gave it away. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43924: Excellent. Really love a good numbers grid. Confetti! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43871: @Chester - if that's your first go at one of these, its pretty good. The real skill is in making the two 'outer' words form a well known phrase. White....Chocolate, for example, works perfectly. If you can do that for all 16 and keep a theme, then you can become as exalted as Ducky and Jmelb. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43925: JB did occasionally fill in on the news, besides her other talents. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43929: Oops - sorry! Just meant not teenage types : D (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43932: hank you for your constructive comments. I'm sorry you are disappointed Matt. Please don't feel obliged to do my grids - particularly those with Buff added to my name. I do many styles of grids, I just like more variety than the ones with oft repeated groups. Its not much of a red herring when you've seen it several times in a week. Stjohn found it fun, you did not. To each his own perhaps? (3 years, 7 months ago)

toon @ #43936: BEWWWHEWWWWWWW (3 years, 7 months ago)

MattyS @ #43924: Good board. 6/10. My knowledge of Binary let me down. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43929: I like to take the Only Connect main concept of lateral thought and apply it by moving outside the same repetitive format. Different formats encourage you to think different ways. Also, there are many different ages and types of people doing grids here, so I hope there is room for all styles. I tend to just ignore the ones that don't suit me and move on to those that I like. Happily a number of the older players seem to like doing my grids. To each his own, don't you think? (3 years, 7 months ago)

MattyS @ #43935: Great board, well done. Only got one connection in the time, worked another one out but couldn’t find the right options. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #43932: Your comment about only being for film buffs can only be seen after you’ve completed the puzzle though. Even with that, you’re just listing 4 films by 4 different directors. The best boards require a bit of logic, a red herring here and there. This is straight quizzing. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MattyS @ #43925: A great board. The link featuring Richmond is a tad Niche, but I managed to get the other three links before the time was up (but only made one full connection) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43932: @Matt, that is why I list it as Buff and also add a message saying "only made for film buffs". Don't want people who are not interested in the topic to waste their time. (It would be nice if people who do sci fi/fantasy and computer games gave a similar warning?) : ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

MattyS @ #43933: Thank you! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #43928: Nice board, liked the connection that included Hastings. The Zippy connection I worked out, but two of the four I don’t get the link, maybe give explanations in your answers. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Druid @ #43929: This board doesn’t work well. The links are really bad. I suggest you watch more Only Connect to understand how links should be made. Not fun at all. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43933: Enjoyed that. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #43932: A little too niche and themed around one subject. Not fun to play. It relies on book knowledge rather than using logic. These should be puzzles, not questions. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43923: Maybe Curry & Brown could be interchanged? Red?? no, sorry (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43906: I did not understand some of the explanations e.g. butter/bible (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43906: Enjoyed ty (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43680: You shouldn’t have 2 turquoise’s in the grid and sobalt is presumably cobalt? (3 years, 7 months ago)

disgruntled @ #28066: "Hunger games" gave the correct answer for the Pop group. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jean Charles du Chauvignon @ #43688: Only one conductor category? Barbaric (3 years, 7 months ago)

John Snood @ #43844: Impossible (3 years, 7 months ago)

Reg @ #43869: hm I wonder why that is happening? but glad you are getting the scores ; ) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43866: Much harder, only 4/10, but 5* (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43865: No you didn't, confetti!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43867: Nice one. 7/10. Perhaps fortunately, didn't see the pervert. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Anton du Bec @ #43905: Never heard of South, I managed to guess what the group was from the others, perhaps Nickelodeon would be a better clue? Good grid though :-) (3 years, 7 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #43869: Also put 'taming' for the roof line and was 'correct'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lulu @ #38540: Loved it! (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #43803: Good, fun board. I only knew Marcel Wave as one of Kenny Everett's characters. Every day's a schoolday. (3 years, 7 months ago)

david @ #42151: Sisters and brothers in the plural pets category? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo @ #43803: Marcel wave was also a Kenny Everett character. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Classic G @ #43831: Good quiz. Really neat connections and overlaps. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #43865: Sorry TR6. I thought it was too easy and ramped it up a bit. Obviously overdid it! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43871: @ Reg - no, I have seen these done before and wanted a go. If you like this type, see similar grids set by Ducky or Jmelb. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Pierre @ #43872: Schön! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Reg @ #43871: your format? (3 years, 7 months ago)

TR6 @ #43862: Very good grid, I felt a little aggrieved at my answer not being accepted for lack of specifics, but there you are. Cannot argue with the quality, Thank you (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43869: That's odd TR6 because I have the opposite problem. Sometimes I get incorrect for the right answer! Oh well! (3 years, 7 months ago)

TR6 @ #43865: After doing your other one so well, I came back a got a big fat ZERO🤣 5* again though! (3 years, 7 months ago)

TR6 @ #43866: Love the confetti, class act Ducky 5* grid everything ties in so well! (3 years, 7 months ago)

TR6 @ #43869: 7/10, solved the wall, not sure how. I entered kate and shrew for the hot roof line and got marked correct? And I guessed the wrong Irish playwright for the pyg line. Overall very happy . 5* grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

TR6 @ #43867: Totally missed the sting line and the camera line. Good grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #43866: Love it! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #43869: Beaut! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ofworm-eaten @ #43857: The solutions should include the fact that those are not the actual French titles or translations but rather literal word-for-word translations, possibly internet ones? Also, there are a couple of typos. Great idea but you can look up the real titles on Wikipedia. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hanny @ #43847: Nice beginners grid (3 years, 7 months ago)

VR @ #43831: Still a smoked fish (3 years, 7 months ago)

k-hole @ #31487: My misspelling of the Killers album and the questionable oxymoron still keep me up at night. In my defence it was bang in the middle of the first lockdown and I was pretty drunk. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Devereux @ #43862: Nice grid! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Devereux @ #43304: Loved it! (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #43831: Technically a kipper isn't really a fish - it's the term given to a herring after its been smoked. (3 years, 7 months ago)

EthelQ @ #43770: Enjoyed that - thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

VR @ #43668: you are right about marking down for other than quality reasons (3 years, 7 months ago)

le_feu @ #43830: It is a German grid; only one connection can be solved by English speakers. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Boas @ #43840: great wall! (3 years, 7 months ago)

SRW27 @ #43845: Good grid... I put upset rather than angry (3 years, 7 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1458: is 'grass green' a recognisable colour shade though? I never heard of anyone painting anything grass green (3 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #43830: Awful. Made no sense and the explanations were not in English. (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #43668: There is another, similar grid 43812. (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #43812: There is another, similar grid 43668. (3 years, 7 months ago)

gary21 @ #43795: Following on from comment by oooops (and comments on grid 43668). What this site is missing is an enjoyment rating. Then you could happily give 5 stars for quality even if you didn't enjoy it. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Matty @ #43819: Ridiculously obscure and tenuous. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43814: Quite right, cruel for one line and kicking self for not getting Cameron line. Good pink fish! (3 years, 7 months ago)

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn @ #43791: gg (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43809: All caps is not nice, however I see the need if you are using WILTY as Wilty would not scan as well. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43808: Oh so cruel but fair(ish) on the fizzy line. Fun to do, just the right amount of pink fish for my liking, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43805: Very good/enjoyable just missed out on KM, thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

Chester @ #43803: @MattyS - Doh!, thanks I have amended (3 years, 7 months ago)

MattyS @ #43809: The categories about WILTY and Crystal Maze were tenuous at best. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MattyS @ #43803: A Cadbury's Wispa is not spelt the same as Whisper, aside from that, a good board (3 years, 7 months ago)

oooops @ #43767: Cannot one swap "fly" and "curl"? (3 years, 7 months ago)

oooops @ #43795: Grid subjects are down to the compiler, therefore no complaint there. That the player has no knowledge of the subject matter is in itself irrelevant. However, I believe these grids should (in theory at least) be fun to attempt. When failure ensues the player would like to know what the compiler had chosen and why etc. I find it helpful to have at least 1 "in" to help the player, unfortunately I found none. So although there is nothing wrong with your grid per se, people will grade the quality based on enjoyment, satisfaction as well as recognition of the final outcome. (3 years, 7 months ago)

ghost @ #43795: Sorry for the misspelling, I’ve updated and re-submitted. As for obscurity, doesn’t that just make the grid a higher difficulty level and not a reflection of the quality? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Derek @ #43795: There's a misspelling, and the groupings are obscure. (3 years, 7 months ago)

toon @ #43798: 6/5 for deefeecoltee (3 years, 7 months ago)

Neil @ #43746: Clever but certainly fiendish! Fun to do. (3 years, 7 months ago)

gary21 @ #43781: I don't understand your crypic descriptions of the connections and this has left me feeling stupid. (The puzzle was hard enough.) I would be grateful for an explanation of the connections. Thanks. (3 years, 7 months ago)

atticus @ #25610: good work (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #43770: 'Foxtrott' is more commonly 'Foxtrot'. 'Foxtrot/t' and 'Tango' fit in both groups. (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #43770: Excellent grid! Cheers. (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #43781: How disappointing- a grid with no links given.🙁 Haha ha JUUL, I just got the point!! (3 years, 7 months ago)

SRW27 @ #41255: Good grid.... I put statue rather than sculpture though (3 years, 7 months ago)

smilesV @ #43773: Really enjoyed it. Some really good connections took me a while to work it out (3 years, 7 months ago)

Beth @ #43727: Confused (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #43778: Nice thanks (3 years, 7 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #43778: Good first grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #43781: good point (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43767: Liked the box group. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43445: Recyclable materials and rhyming words didn’t work. Try widening the allowable answers. You got me with the caps - couldn’t see that one. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43443: Synonyms should work on its own (3 years, 7 months ago)

sebflyte @ #29264: Cracking idea. Well done. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #43404: The hi-fi’s are made by electronics companies, the condiments can all be followed by sauce, and Captain should work for the fictional captain group. Needs a bit more flexibility in the answers please. Otherwise a good grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jackie Chapman @ #43706: What on earth is a grahm cracker? And it was telly tubbies not tele tubbies. Need to check your facts! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Blanco @ #43644: WTF IS WINTER A FEMALE NAME? (3 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #43767: No particular vehemence against this grid.... I'm just a little tired of the replace 1 letter to make another word category. (3 years, 7 months ago)

toon @ #43765: damn u arachnids 6666666666 (3 years, 7 months ago)

kevb @ #43745: Henry is mis-typed as HENY (3 years, 7 months ago)

J Silberman @ #43668: Thanks, Si, for your thoughts. I wanted solvers not to know if a clue is a word or a number - so they could not be shown as digits. Good point on the 'nineteen's. Your last point - it bothers me that people might mark down the quality because it's too difficult (that's what the difficuly rating means!). I also think that quality is marked down if someone does not enjoy it. Unfortunately, Puzzgrid has no rating for 'Enjoyment'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #43688: Good grid! Nice crossovers! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Lulu @ #43730: I don't think you will find 'montana' in a Spanish dictionary but 'montaña' will be in there. Maybe not a perfect fit for the category? Interesting combination of categories. (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #43739: Very easy. There were no crossovers/red herrings (3 years, 7 months ago)

coyote37 @ #43734: Nice grid- Galileo group could also be deep space missions though! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #43728: Motherhood for the hidden family members feels a bit of a cop-out, but otherwise a very nice grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Si @ #43668: Responding to the quality question ..... I think some would have rated it higher if the answers where written as numbers (e.g. 4) rather than letters (e.g. four) ... I realise this makes linking one of the groups much harder to solve. Omitting the 'nineteen' before the war years may have irritated some. Coupled with the fiendish level of difficulty maybe that is why the quality was marked relatively low (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ploopy @ #10577: Good one - once first line is done, the rest fell into place (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ploopy @ #30982: Good grid, but I guess it's easy if you happen to know a few of them. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ploopy @ #43715: How obvious should they be? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ploopy @ #21280: Nice grid, but easier side of medium. Queen one has been done a lot. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Tania Delgado @ #43590: Liked the activity. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #43706: Reasonable grid, but as couple of alterations would improve it. Tubbies had telly in front, not Tele, so should accept telly as well. Also correct mis-spelling of Graham, misleading to have Graham. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #30896: Very enjoyable. Niche, yes, but into my knowledge! Thanks. 'Bad' is not correct, it should be 'Bag' or removed. Maybe consider adding spaces to 'Rollercoaster' and 'Shoeshine'. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #32895: Good, but never heard of burn after reading. Got 2 groups and 3 reasons (3 years, 7 months ago)

Xavier @ #43676: Correction needed - the Cbc clue (CBC is coincidentally the main Canadian news network) needs to be changed to cbb or bcb. (3 years, 7 months ago)

bubu @ #43664: it's faulty, 47 is not a square number (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #43549: Similarly, can swap Rosemary and Basil. (No apologies, I love being picky!) (3 years, 7 months ago)

William Handley @ #43654: 7/10. I particularly enjoyed the "trouser" group and the red herrings. The "tin" group feels a little niche. (3 years, 7 months ago)

miles @ #43642: wow! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Wyvy @ #43642: This is my first PuzzGrid! It's really tricky to create something interesting with multiple red herring sets while keeping it to a reasonable difficulty... I'll probably update it later with some better groups. (3 years, 7 months ago)

R @ #43565: 45 seconds haha maybe a sign I've been doing a few too many of these (3 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #43600: The fish group is genius. cheers (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #43565: So true! I apologise - oops, apologize! And there are many other examples, like the US presidents - can anyone add to the list? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stijn Hommes @ #43565: Unfortunately, this puzzle isn't international-proof. In some parts of the world it's known as Clue instead of Cluedo, so that should be allowed as an answer. (3 years, 7 months ago)

MC @ #43623: I don't mind puzzles being hard but I thought this one went too far. Names of 'dwarf' planets are supposed to be general knowledge? And the original names of chemical elements, including 'Berkeley'? These are very strange details to expect anyone to know. And you spelled 'Poseidon' incorrectly! (3 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #43624: Not sure if Chest is a type of furniture really. A Chest of drawers maybe? Apologies if mistake. I also think if you're using Bureau you should type the full thing out rather than FBI. (3 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #43625: Sorry, but I don't think you get how these work. Groovy and here come dat boi aren't characters. They're just words. Justin Timberlake in 1998 and Neil Patrick Harris aren't characters, they're people. My mango is to blow up is very obscure and is also not a character! I would take this down and try again as it is a total waste of time in my opinion. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stijn Hommes @ #43611: It's a shame the answer recognition system didn't work. I gave a one word answer for the group with "Briggs" in it and it was denied because the second unnecessary word wasn't included. Other than that, a pretty good grid. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Shang Feng @ #43619: Hard. And it was actually made by my daughter 🤣 . (3 years, 7 months ago)

leels @ #33: I put anagram as the answer but it said I was incorrect (3 years, 7 months ago)

bennio @ #43194: Still quite hard but well put together. Vector types seems a bit niche to me. There's also a couple of red herring complete groups - one for "ground" (zero, state, water, sound) and one for "re-" (pay, position, state, sound, place), which makes it more challenging. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stjohn @ #43549: @cClassic G, sorry I hate being picky (3 years, 7 months ago)

Classic G @ #43549: Ah ok well spotted St. John. I usually try to have the solution be unique but this slipped through. However, at the point of submission I felt that Rosemary didn’t quite fit the group, as it is her first name and all I called the other detectives by their surname apart from Basil who doesn’t seem to have a surname.

bennio @ #43267: Well constructed grid, although not accepting "berry" is probably an oversight! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Stjohn @ #43479: @Jmelb, to be honest, although I found it amusing to construct, I knew that it would be beyond the knowledge of most people and therefore not surprised at the lower quality mark. I had to submit it as the convolution satisfied my interest in the contribution of some of the finer support actors. And to incorporate 2 false groups amused me. I hoped that people might appreciate the answers. Thanks for giving it a go. (3 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #43510: Am I going mad or all the answers "-" ? (3 years, 7 months ago)

Fez @ #43388: missed the "wood" reference (3 years, 7 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #43106: Ok grid. For the ops group you can also start with 'st' to make stops, store, stamp, and start. And for the hampton group you've included the 'h' in north but not in the other 3 which confuses things a little. You'd add 'ampton' to that word but 'hampton' to the other three.

Suze @ #43022: The spelling mistakes made things a bit tricky :-) Sterling is the currency, Stirling is the castle, and Loch Lomand doesn't exist. Still fun though! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Patrick Johnson @ #42599: I wrote this board, and all of the comments are complaining about the opposite category (contronyms). I think that maybe the category and the answers are significantly more complex than the rest of the clues in the grid... But here’s an explaination of each answer: Custom - something has been customised, or is a tradition Bolt - something that has been fastened vs something that is moving quickly. Buckle: Something that has broken vs something that has been fixed Trim: Something that has been removed, vs something that has been added. (3 years, 7 months ago)

EthelQ @ #42905: Excellent! This really had us thinking- I retried it several times and enjoyed the meta-link! (3 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #42879: A bit too niche. If you don't know "Pride and Prejudice" (which I assume is what P&P stands for) then you have no chance. I went down the Tevye (FOTR) route with the 5 daughters clue... (3 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #42856: Message to Kay, about your comment. Are you sure when you say 'nobody'? Also, the grid is marked as US and your comment relates to England. In general, it's good to not make so many mistakes in any negative comments, or perhaps not to post them at all. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jmelb @ #42789: Airedale - very cute (3 years, 7 months ago)

gary21 @ #42770: Ariane, feedback (as requested)... A perfectly solid, if simple, grid. There is only one(?) red herring, most solvers seem to like more. The 'Small' group is on it's own so you could replace it with one that makes a group of five with another clue. Eg. (with first) class, name, aid, hand although be careful that 'second hand' does not then cause an ambiguity. Consider 'Twelfth' (RH with 'night') and/or 'Eighth' (RH with 'day'). Have fun and play about with the clues/groups when you are setting these puzzles. I'll look forward to more. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ducky @ #42789: Not worth it J; when the face of your Airedale rises above your screen it's distracting to say the least :D (3 years, 7 months ago)

ur mom @ #42781: ur grid sux (3 years, 7 months ago)

gmh @ #42732: Confusing when some words in the line are proceeded by the clue while others have the clue after, should be more consistent! Good ideas tho! (3 years, 7 months ago)

Jimmy G @ #423: Dear Tom, I called and you didn't answer. Have you been making these without me again? I know the past couple of years we haven't been too close but I know back in Boston, we never would have settled for Winter Ball or Good Call. I think you're losing your edge. If you want to get that edge back you know who to PHONE CALL. 😈😈😈😈 Next time you're in town, I'll make sure to get your edge back 🍆🍆 🙈🙈 Peace, Jimmy G-Spot (3 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #41973: Same as #41970 (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ariane @ #42761: Uninterestingly easy. No ambiguity, no discernment. Would be more interesting if some of the words potentially fit into two categories. Nice clean sets, just too easy to be fun. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Ariane @ #42675: Nice variety. Didn't know the two of the dances, so got them as a set by elimination. (3 years, 7 months ago)

soundchaser @ #42679: SPOILER: "Bear" and "bare" are not the same word - "bare minimum" and "bare feet" are different from "bear arms" and "bear witness." You should, at the very least, recognize that discrepancy in your explanation. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Juul @ #42424: stj, you are not thick, j (3 years, 7 months ago)

no @ #345: flock/grail/blend/pride being "words that become a verb when you remove the first letter" is really really bad. Flock and Blend are already verbs, and lock, rail, and ride can all be nouns. I would suggest swapping Blend and Grail for two words that can be groups of animals, like Pride (lions) and Flock (birds). (3 years, 7 months ago)

eo @ #51: IR is wrong. Small isnt just an adjective in these cases. It makes the a new concept in each case. Business schools is bum. (3 years, 7 months ago)

eo @ #77: Hitchcocks were all a bit obscure. One to get us going would be nice! (3 years, 7 months ago)

eo @ #56: Thank you. A proper job. I thought shawm might be type of bread. If we knew all the words it would be easy! (3 years, 7 months ago)

no @ #42044: Given that there are 8 US States in there (and they are in 2 groups of 4 that have to do with states) there's no way that there aren't multiple solutions for this one. Also just putting "states" is enough for the game to give you the bonus points for each of them =/ (3 years, 7 months ago)

John Mackintosh @ #42478: Soooooo good, better than me roasties mixed with ketchup and mayonnaise dipped in my midnightly chipotle, I've literally never seen anything so beautiful, makes me shed a tear. BEST PUZZGRID EVER PEOPLE, REPLY TO ME IF YOU DISAGREE (3 years, 7 months ago)

Kay Spittlehouse @ #42477: Halloween is NOT a holiday. (3 years, 7 months ago)

Dani @ #42477: Please make the linking words shorter to make sure people who know the link actually get the point. I typed "hat" and it was wrong, so I'm assuming you typed the linking word "hats". If you make the linking word "hat", then both the answer "hat" and "hats" will be accepted. Same goes for the other categories like the cake one not accepting the answer "cake". (3 years, 7 months ago)

James Finster @ #42399: Hmm. Wall didn't have one perfect solution. Could have groups "Webber, Carnegie, Johnson, Lincoln" and "Jackson, Boston, Sacramento, Denver" OR could also have "Webber, Carnegie, Johnson, Jackson" and "Lincoln, Boston, Sacramento, Denver" Both are Andrews and capital cities -- it's not one solution, which I feel you should have.

Anne @ #36574: loved it (3 years, 8 months ago)

Derek @ #42204: Unless it's a British thing, LED isn't an acronym since it's standard to say each letter individually. Otherwise, good grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Roy @ #40577: Way too many red herrings in every category. Made guessing the final two groups basically impossible in just three tries. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #42293: There has to be one unique solution. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #42266: The Hitchcock red herring got me. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ka @ #40710: Buns should also allow "Rolls". (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #42324: Lots of nice misdirection. I couldn't find the fourth bird (somehow I considered Teal and then didn't try it.) Saw CYMK but didn't know K stood for Key (I knew it was black). Only came together at the end when I got the card set (I had been thinking of bridge, so key or royal could have been part of the set, whereas gift and credit wouldn't be). Quickly got the blue set (again key could have been part of it, and maybe teal) and had not quite enough time for the last two. But recognized all the connections after that. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #42311: More please (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #42326: clever, got the "nightingales" but too many "peppers" for me to unravel successfully. well done! (3 years, 8 months ago)

christobal @ #42291: I know nothing about Mario, but I completed the grid and enjoyed it. Ty. (3 years, 8 months ago)

christobal @ #42311: Good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

christobal @ #42198: Good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Claire @ #42266: It doesn't matter I couldn't recognize all the items/groups (what one doesn't know, one learns) - the variety was excellent as well as the red herrings. I think this would be a wall in the first round. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #42297: 7/10 Nice one Smiley, just did not get Stallion Gate connection. Sadly (for me) got the Shakespearian one. Thank you. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ariane @ #42266: I had to look up Candlewick Green - we didn't have that show in the US. Didn't like that those two could be swapped; liked the variety of group themes. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tvg @ #42311: Nice use of the pink fish, wd ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #42237: Think 'relations' should be an acceptable answer. (3 years, 8 months ago)

vaneramos @ #42305: Giselle is one of the most well-known ballets, but I don't believe there is an opera by that title. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #12416: Nice. Pretty sure you can have port vinegar as well, so along with the trans group you could edit and tighten it up into a really good wall. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #42291: The mario one is a problem as you have boos and king boo as well. So its quite interchangeable. You need to really think through all the interpretations of your clues. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ghost @ #42214: ^^ Oops, thanks for that, lol (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #42242: Enjoyable (3 years, 8 months ago)

Spicy @ #42266: Lifeboat and Vertigo could conceivably be swapped unfortunately. Liked the groups though :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

vaneramos @ #42270: Interesting and difficult. Fetter is not an acronym for Ferret, if that's the animal you had in mind. (3 years, 8 months ago)

vaneramos @ #42237: Fun quiz, though Necessities is misspelled, which threw me because I expected it was done on purpose. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Claire @ #42198: Excellent grid. Would be even better if the last group was also homophones of a letter, (3 years, 8 months ago)

Claire @ #42237: "Necessaties" is misspelled - it should be "necessities". I thought it was done on purpose and looked for a connection elsewhere. If possible, please correct it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Matthew S @ #42212: Nice one, you got me with the Charlie and Chocolate factory one! (3 years, 8 months ago)

EOS @ #42160: Great mix of red herrings. (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #42198: Great fun, thank you. (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #42198: good one! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Nerd @ #42192: Just some feedback: I recommend making "cites in California" a little more lenient on the answer side of things. I typed in "California" and it did not count it as correct, even when I knew what the full answer was. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Will Not S @ #42184: Will S I have changed Avocado to "Sun" to clear things up in the day category. As to the non-berry fruits I just wanted specifics instead of just saying "fruit", but I may change that as well. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #42190: *film buff time* (3 years, 8 months ago)

Will S @ #42175: Really nice grid, well thought out. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Will S @ #42184: I'd never have got Avocado in that group, it's not a thing in the UK that I'm aware of! Why is the link specifically non-berry fruits?? There are lots of other non-berry fruits. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #42133: Marked as UK - one group isn't. 'logp' should be 'logo'. (I can always find something, even if I'm not on all day long.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42135: Really tough, hard to find 4 even for the 2 that I knew for sure. Entertaining thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #42138: Ringo replaced Peter, he wasn't an original member. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cancan @ #42145: "Le mejor" does not exist. "Mejor" and "peor" are s*********es. "Lo" + adjective is not necessarily one. Am I mistaken? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #42110: Two 'open's being in the same group doesn't really work for me (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #42131: good one! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #42133: Of course, thanks foxymoron, "corportation" - no such word! Too lazy to check myself. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42120: Thanks Kaikell, I found it hard, but now I feel worse knowing that others found it very easy! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42133: Excellent. Before Mr Picky gets you, isn't it Campaign, or is it different over there? (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #42120: I didn't, I scored it as 'hard', but I think the difficulty designation changes depending upon what players actually rate it as. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42131: Perfect accompaniment to a late breakfast. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Possum @ #42135: stj, old in both respects! : D (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #42078: The Bet set is tricky. I guess I need to get used to that pattern. The Particle set is a bit shaky, though a good idea. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42120: Nice grid, but how did you score that as very easy? I got lost looking for Scrabble scores, solved the grid by default as I didn't consider the titles. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #41136: Bit harsh with the kitchen vessels. Could you add containers? Otherwise I enjoyed this one. (3 years, 8 months ago)

daa @ #42110: You've got 'open' twice (3 years, 8 months ago)

daa @ #42082: The drummer and tennis player overlap is cool, but the Roman god and planet groups have too many overlapping squares so there's no unique solution. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #34038: Thanks, Foxymoron, for agreeing. Being true to my name, It's 'Mr Picky' not 'Mr P'. I had better not shorten yours! (Apologies for a comment that is not about the grid.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #42039: Tried it again myself and it wasn't as easy as I first thought. So 5/10 in the time commendable (3 years, 8 months ago)

jim curran @ #41704: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Sue121 @ #41881: Very varied selection of groups. Thank you. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Eolan @ #42031: Good fun. Germany/France/Spain could be swapped in and out of two categories. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tvg @ #42026: ?Warum? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42039: Excellent. Only problem was time. I couldn't find the screw top, swede or the galliwasp so only got 5. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #42030: Very good. Its possible to swap Gore and Ford - a sord is a thing. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41993: Don't know if its just me, but I've now tried that line with the right answer, a wrong answer and just blank and it still sticks. Maybe its just me? Anyone else have a problem? (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #41974: Yeah, I've never seen Metropolis but I bought it recently in a boxed set with M and it's right in my line of sight where my couch is, and I was just looking at it and I suddenly thought "Ooh - Metropolis also as in Superman and M also as in Bond...!" and the idea for yet another PuzzGrid was born. This thing is addictive! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rylicia @ #41424: Good ! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41991: Oh yes! Clever! Full marks : D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41993: Foxymoron, I just tried it again and it seemed to work. If you have a moment could you please give it another try, to see if it has righted itself? Too much glitching! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #34038: Quite right Mr P. He's also wrong about Brown bear/Grizzly bear. All grizzly bears are brown bears but not all brown bears are grizzly, so not synonymous. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41991: Got it. How about heel, real, congeal, teal!?! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #34038: I strongly disagree with Markus. It's your choice if you try all the combinations. There are other ways to solve these grids. I also like grids being set differently to each other. This adds variation and increases my enjoyment. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41993: Got it thanks. Very interesting, but is it gliching again? I've got stuck on the Ritenuto line twice. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41984: Good format! (3 years, 8 months ago)

no @ #42001: Abloluteley Amazing (3 years, 8 months ago)

pardonne moi @ #41994: Perhaps list under the French flag logo? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Markus @ #34038: High marks for having all the bears in, but low marks for bear being an actual category. The worst designed puzzles, in my opinion, are the ones that make you endlessly try combinations for a possible "obvious" category like bear here. The most any category should have, even if it is a red herring, is 4. Another smaller quibble in that grizzly bears and brown bears are synonymous. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Markus @ #41986: Solid board! I got caught for a bit thinking rogue and tidal were kinds of waves (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41972: Challenging ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth Britton @ #40868: enjoyed this - guessed the categories from my general knowledge of other languages - but marked "animals" incorrect when that was the exact answer - needs a fix. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41865: thanks all (used anon because I was concerned about negativity) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41759: Another excellent grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tony @ #23131: This is bollocks. W has quite a few countries. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41758: That was tough. I did not know any of Degu, Klein and Taycan so they could have been anywhere. Excellent construction 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

TheTruth @ #41962: Burnley and their fans are proper scummy to be fair (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mz @ #41642: Really enjoyed this one. Because Bete Noire is a little different from the other three, I think there should be some leeway in the answer options when looking for a word that covers all four words. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ducky @ #41802: Thanks Foxy. Good thing you put a comment on it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

McLeod @ #41865: Well said Fredo. An elegant easy grid and entirely to the point. (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #41905: Me also (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fredo @ #41865: I think this was a lovely thing to do, thank you. He will be sorely missed, Captain Tom - We Salute You (3 years, 8 months ago)

Frustrated @ #41905: Sort your definitions out MrsF. I got them all correct but it didn't recognise any of my answers. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41904: I wish I was able to think like that! Not enough to work on. (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #41883: I love classical music (check out #pipspicks on twitter) but this even foxed me! It was Wagner who proclaimed Beethoven's Symphony No.7 to be 'the apotheosis of the dance' - and quite right he was! (3 years, 8 months ago)

leonardo @ #41798: i am the best in the game. my name is Leonardo. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41883: I feel your pain! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41890: Knew what they all were apart from Bl pls, but couldn't group them, spent too long on nationality, and then went for renaissance, modern etc in the answers - only 2pts, Grr. 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #41610: Your best music one yet! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41883: Banging my head against the wall to the opening beat of the 5th because this should have been easy for me, but I couldn't sort out my Bs (3 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #15862: I'm torn about the quality of having 3 "all precede [X]" (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #41758: Nice misdirection with Tesla and Volt. I caught that after getting rid of the rodents. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dough Dough @ #41865: You don't understand how this works. Terrible wall (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #40577: Lots of tricky red herrings! The only set that had no real freedom was Chicago, but I didn't recognize that set until after finding the other three (taking three guesses on the baby animals and getting lucky). Felt satisfying. (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #41875: Very elegant. At first couldn't find any of them but eventually everything fell into place. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #41865: Makes no sense... pointless... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40888: Y isn’t a vowel (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40887: Agree with the comment below. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fidget2020 @ #41863: Enjoyed this grid immensely. Must’ve been created by a magic man! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #41620: Nothing technically wrong with it but it has that unfortunate combination of being hard and not interesting, imo. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kay Spittlehouse @ #39460: Big BERTHA. Berther means something completely different. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fessed Face @ #41831: Awesome, only with the help of James Buchanan could I solve this wall! Top marks! (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #41391: Figured out the fingers quickly. Pinky was nice misdirection with Inky and Blinky. Figured out that there were Pacman ghosts but couldn't get the full list until the last moment. Figured out black, but didn't realize Vanta fit. Probably could have gotten that given 10 more seconds. Thus, identified all the links except "card" (I tried "keeper" which felt close but wasn't as crisp). Liked it a lot. (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #41642: For me, the desserts were easy, and I thought the list of enemies was easy though I had not accounted for bete noire. I decided not to click on the enemies in favor of trying to find one other grouping. I noticed three very strange words and then tried them with others, finally getting Pains as the fourth. Then I tried the enemies list and got the wrong four. Finally, I saw the Star Trek connection and was able to complete the groupings. And then I noticed the letter rotation for the countries. Nice construction! (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #41724: For me, the clergy and chess pieces were really easy (even with the red herring of bishop as clergy.) The others were challenging, but I was able to see the link for bars when given the grouping, and I could plausibly have found the other link. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #41837: Are you sure that 'Bank' fits the connection? In the explanation, 'proceeded' should be 'preceded'. (3 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #41778: Try to capture D&D or Dungeons&Dragons or either or those words as correct for the Dex/Cha/Int/Wis grouping. That would have given me 1 more point. Hey, I need all I can get! I had not read much Stephen King so I was only able to learn the link of Derry to 27 by Googling. I was able to guess the link to Cobalt and Constitution once I saw 27, though I didn't know the number myself. I had heard of, but forgotten, the 27 Club. Pretty obscure grouping! Maybe I need more practice. Probably Cobalt could have been my way in and maybe I could have then guessed Constitution (though Amendment would have been friendlier; I realize it served also as a red herring). Argentina/Onion/Guitar/Cherokee I was able to find the link once I was shown the grouping. E/Knowledge/Rid/Tor is tough! Again, maybe more practice, but E makes it especially hard since the C is soft. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Antony du Bec @ #75: Did not accept Beverages to the drinks group, otherwise a really good grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Antony du Bec @ #70: Never heard of Cardenio, hence I struggled on the Shakespeare link. It shouldn't really be in the grid, given the doubt that it's actually one of his plays. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Antony du Bec @ #68: Well I liked it, even if others didn't! 10/10 with 1:31 to spare. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jon Violet @ #41726: A particularly good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #41737: Need to be more inclusive with the definitions: clothes not accepted. Enter simply "cloth" instead. Otherwise, a bit severe with 8 possible hits for one of the solutions (3 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #41749: dor, not door. definition too narrow for meander group ("movement" could be accepted) capitalisations are confusing don't like the window/oil group either. Otherwise, hey, great grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mildly Perplexed @ #41749: Didn't like the group where 3 out of the 4 things were just different parts of the same plant The 'door' clue is spelled wrong, and having two of the other clues in that group being the same is a bit repetitive Wasn't sure about the random capitalization either (3 years, 8 months ago)

Purple toadstool @ #10946: Cracking grid. The red herrings are genius! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41595: Liked it (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41591: ****Sorry might be glitching, will resubmit (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41592: **Bit of fun. Hint - view laterally. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41576: Good fun ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Arthur @ #41508: Thanks Mike, I have updated it! :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41545: Bloody autocorrect _ that said Nullabor! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41545: Ouch - after that my brain needs a slow train on the Hillsborough to get it going straight again. Good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bypass @ #41566: Got it - nice one. Initially tangled the bad luck with a broken mirror. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #41577: @J, no not seen as far as I can remember, will check it out, thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

MOO @ #41583: depends how far you can throw I suppose (3 years, 8 months ago)

barbietings @ #41586: This f****king grid RUINED my step-brothers wedding. DO NOT TRUST THIS GIRL (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41577: 6* So many favourites there - but 3 I hadn't seen. Do you remember TW in Enchantment? haven't seen it in many years but had me in tears! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41524: Enjoyable ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Response @ #41503: Its not 'foul play' or poor quality just because you can't understand it. The grids are all about lateral thinking (which this is). (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robert J Munro @ #41583: Stones throw is near, not far but otherwise good (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41511: thanks! (3 years, 8 months ago)

LM @ #41576: That was good. I feel sorry for the patient who got 3/5 of their liver removed while they were working that one out :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41577: Fiendish indeed. Only one I got near was the bird and even then I couldn't complete the line. Well and truly hoist etc. Well played (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #41577: I liked it - I set it (3 years, 8 months ago)

neilb4god @ #41569: Mr Pink argued about being given a feminine name, but Mr Blonde never complained that he wasn't Mr Blond (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #41576: Nice grid. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #41575: Great grid! Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bertie Bumflaps @ #37737: So many overlaps. I love you. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bertie Bumflaps @ #37742: DIS WOZ WIKKID. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tvg @ #41547: apart from "Hamilton" line of which I have no knowledge, the rest was very good! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tvg @ #41542: Not bad, keep posting (3 years, 8 months ago)

chunk @ #41556: shawn is spelt wrong, it shoul be shaun, which made getting the connection harder. other than that its a really good wall. cheers (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25236: Got the pots, clever (3 years, 8 months ago)

tvg @ #41541: pls take care with your accepted answers esp hyphens plurals etc otherwise pretty good grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #24285: Liked references to wicked witch (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41503: @concerned player - thank you, clearly my trap worked! Sometimes the easiest connections are the hardest to spot. All's fair in puzzgrid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #41546: Didn't accept Anthony. Decent grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #41523: Really liked it, thanks. Interestingly, the 'rain' and 'ring' group can all be followed by 'man' too. A ringman is a boxer's helper. Great grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

concerned player @ #41503: what a ridiculous quiz... foul play! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tilly @ #41513: Easy, BUT FUN. (3 years, 8 months ago)

St john @ #41502: Shame about your moniker (in my opinion) but a top notch puzz. I would have liked slightly clearer explanations especially with the empty one. Thank you, I will look forward to more of a similar vein. (3 years, 8 months ago)

St john @ #41503: Fun n easy (once you spot it) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mike Devereau @ #41486: bill payment not accepted for the relevant group (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mike Devereau @ #41508: The counties group link reason needs editing to accept county - possibly accept 'count' rather than 'counties' in reason (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41516: Lovely. Only 7 cos I missed the little ones. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41503: @Juul - thought you would, if you played. I marked it as very easy but it quickly rose to medium, so I have the satisfaction of imagining a few, perhaps muffled, curses ... even though I know it will get marked down and soon disappear. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Obscurious @ #41513: Yay, its snowing! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41459: Fun! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41503: I cracked it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41513: ***Only for film buffs*** (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #41446: 😎 (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #41493: 😎 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #41486: Generally good grid, but the same old palindromes spoilt it for me! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Foxymoron @ #41511: Beautifully constructed. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41509: *** For Shakespeare lovers*** (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41493: @Jmelb - Guessing who's who is part of the puzzle and the fun for me. I knew Juul of course, but had you pegged as someone else too a couple of months ago - wrongly, unless you comment on your own grids! Quite ok to 'out' me. Won't change again until spotted. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41508: Great for the young ones! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Arthur @ #41508: This grid was designed for young children. If your child had a go I hope they had fun! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Arthur @ #41070: Maybe you could add 'deities' as correct for the one group? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41493: ps Rick, no shame in it. I used Juul for a while and have recently adopted a new one ; ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41493: Had been wondering - guess I will have to keep quiet! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tony blair @ #41344: Utterly appalling. jk I'm dumb (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40498: Perhaps add farm implements? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40490: Young male could be added? Wouldn’t have guessed the missing letters one. (3 years, 8 months ago)

NJP @ #41422: Really should accept Christmas as an answer. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41493: @Jmelb. That took a while, so now I've changed again! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41446: Flattered : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41493: AlienDNA you certainly know your stuff! (wondering are you Rick B?) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41495: Ditto (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41446: @stj - that was the intention. There are lots of people doing very good generalist grids now, so a bit of specialty stuff adds a bit of spice. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41493: Not quite fiendish enough, I got 6. The Bowie song ones were easy, but hunt as I might, I couldn't find Monty. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kieran Rudd @ #41070: Great wall lad (3 years, 8 months ago)

Luke Shepherd @ #445: cute :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41495: Balfouria stumped me - tough but fair. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #41446: erm? feel a little foolish, was looking a at singles not the doubles I normally imbibe (sic) sorry mean hic!. Very good but now you have set J off. TY (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #41484: Nice! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gary Parker @ #41490: Fix this guy. Wrote door, let door be accepted. Cock end (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41493: Did well! (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #41493: Grrr, annoyed with myself for 7/10, Monty & Taylor fooled me. Always enjoy these thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41493: ***Only for film buffs*** (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41405: yes I do ; ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41446: Not for me lol, have seen them all. Great fun! I will have to do a fiendish next! (The Perfect Specimen - he certainly was). (3 years, 8 months ago)

J Silberman @ #41408: The clue as to whether it's the book or the film is my name 'J Silberman', the real name of Gene Wilder, the actor in the film (I'm ignoring that Burton/Depp effort). OK, I have added Charlie as a correct answer - for the book. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Louisa @ #41450: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41459: Did not mean to imply that stars are awarded based on points scored, I often give 5* to things that completely bamboozle me, just that Rekkedgecho hadn't wasted his/her time. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41459: Better out than in. Its my era, but I couldn't remember the albums and the (band) line was impossible, but I got some points, so you get some stars. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #41459: **I know it's pretty specialist, I just had to get it out of my system!! Thanks for playing though.** (3 years, 8 months ago)

Phenomena Umukoro @ #41183: :) fun (3 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #41408: Only Charlie if referring to the novel. I suppose Charlie and the Chocolate Factory should be an option as well as the first movie entitled Willy Wonka (3 years, 8 months ago)

Antony du Bec @ #65: Far to obscure, I'd be amazed if anyone got 10/10 (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #41405: First sight reaction for me was - big grin, easy, bring it on! Second sight and therefore my downfall was not establishing which letters belonged where. Great fun p.s. I assume you know HJF was the same as Harry Truman if you know what I mean (3 years, 8 months ago)

gaffer @ #41422: just for info 'Gabriel' etc are all publishing houses. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bobby2 @ #28189: More Excellent. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gary Parker @ #41349: Poor. Either court should work. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41446: *** For Film Buffs*** Quite hard to predict all the possible answers, so you might have to give yourselves the points (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41405: My first sight reaction was "that's impossible". Second sight got the theme and then it all clicked. A remarkably easy (for you) 10/10. Re the holden line, all s ns are character f ns, but you generously gave me the points anyway. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gary Parker @ #41408: SHould be Charlie (3 years, 8 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #41408: Surely it's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #41422: I just logged on for some distraction and there was your grid at the top of the page. I managed to solve it and got 10 out of 10. I like it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41405: ***Especially for film buffs*** (3 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #41382: Newton certainly didn't win a noble prize, not even posthumously. However, I made the link with famous scientists though. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #40397: Nice bit of fun 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 8 months ago)

Isabelle @ #41394: it was ok (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41379: Great, loved it - except for the ubiquitous cluedo reference : O (3 years, 8 months ago)

ernst blo finger @ #23897: super duper grid.. pele did for me..! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40397: Think it was Oliver Hardy's line about Stan Laurel. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40385: Think French cities should be added. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #41379: One of the best I've found! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #41382: I'm not sure that the Nobel Prize existed in Newton's time. Was it awarded posthumously? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41349: Still works ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41354: Nice one ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41353: Enjoyed this ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #41348: Your welcome Juul I do try and please lol (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41348: Enjoyed this ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Paul @ #41330: Great Grid. Bob doesn’t know what he’s talking about (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #41349: I made a mistake on this grid... I used 'court' twice by mistake... should have replace court in the sports' area sense with rink. Oh well. (3 years, 8 months ago)

bob @ #41330: far too esoteric. Not enough variety in choices. A poor grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Prince Regent @ #41325: DLR, and hence Prince Regent, is not London Underground (3 years, 8 months ago)

Oliver-James McLeod @ #41160: yyaaay 10/10 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25503: Well organised, fun and needer some clever ideas to sort (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #41256: Good crossovers, great grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #41264: Great grid! Warmed my brain up nicely for the day. (I did have to refresh it twice after getting a couple of links because I wanted to complete it and kept running out of time!) Also, I think it works better without the dash to be honest. Top stuff. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #41249: Clever grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bypass @ #41264: ***Middle word common to both . Sorry, I put a dash between each but for some reason it hasn't shown up. Annoying. Each of the 2 words has a common middle - hope you can work it out! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41196: Loved it ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #41249: Good one thanks.. didn't see the arctic, 7 (3 years, 8 months ago)

treart @ #41179: The group with Vine can also be comedians Tim Vine Bobby Ball Stephen Wright Lenny Bruce (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bill @ #3876: Well good m8 (3 years, 8 months ago)

GW1106 @ #41113: Some unusual categories. Somehow it should have been easier than it was. Nicely done. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #41217: Very good. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #41136: Great grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #41136: Ten, whoopee. Good grid, thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

gappy @ #41119: Very clever. I fell in after a while, and did OK. However, the compass one required one deductive step too many, I feel. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41196: ***For fans of early films and anagrams!!*** (3 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #41184: The symbols are above 1234 not abcd. I typed in currency and saint dates and neither were accepted. Really bizarre. Think the 2,4,6,8 group has far too many possibilitie to be able to guess arrow directions on a keyboard. (3 years, 8 months ago)

freddgar @ #40074: Very nice, pretty easy. 10s all round Thanks for posting Still snowing I see :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #41174: Very clever - and very tricky! (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #41158: Excellent (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadim @ #41119: Great thanks... see the pattern now.. cunning. 3 (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadim @ #41070: Good one thanks. Put god not goddess so only 7.. so close (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #41115: It's not easy if you don't speak French! I didn't even understand the answers. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41048: all well known houses of. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Paul Leslie @ #41093: Cool, quite hard but enjoyable. (3 years, 8 months ago)

gaffer @ #41083: 'emotions' are all characters in 'inside out' (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41096: That was heading for 5* until the Cs. Agree with the previous "ouch". (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #41107: Completed and still confused, wacko! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fran @ #41107: Good job (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41093: Nice! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41096: Ouch, only managed 2 groups - tough! 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fqueue @ #41074: Good grid, plenty of crossovers (3 years, 8 months ago)

Fqueue @ #32757: Good grid, got all the sets and 3 of the connections. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #41019: 'Liverpool Street' needs another word to correctly fit the connection. (3 years, 8 months ago)

treart @ #41073: good grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #40925: Nice. You might want to adapt it every so slightly because you can swap piece with card to get an alternative solution where the items refer to indoor games in general rather than just gambling. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #41051: very clever... but the In group i thought was trying a little too hard (3 years, 8 months ago)

peesh @ #41048: house of...? c'mon (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #41019: Outstanding - possibly the best grid I've ever done. Great work. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Beatrice Robinson @ #41000: (3 years, 8 months ago)

jude @ #40830: its very good (3 years, 8 months ago)

AlexJCall @ #41046: Got distracted by Ocarina too! (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #41046: Wasted a large portion of my youth on Nintendo consoles so had me charging off down a Legend of Zelda themed avenue you cheeky funster. Managed to solve it with a few seconds left on the clock. Stellar work as always. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41046: Good ty. Zorro was tricky ... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41045: True to the times, I couldn't see my f--s. Very nice. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #41041: Nice. Enjoyed that. Ty. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #17148: Excellent,clever and very amusing with lots of potential traps, thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Amber Tring @ #40978: it would be helpful to see our answers compared to the correct answer. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Leoné Gabbott-Fisher @ #40994: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #41033: Enjoyed this ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41025: Nice, all enjoyable ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #40074: I don’t think Switzerland would class itself as French speaking as there are German speaking areas, Italian speaking areas and Romansch speaking areas. (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #30903: Saw the lifesavers, polo, rings... was convinced it was swimming pool related.. lol. Good one thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #29702: Liked that one a lot. Four out of ten. I hadn't heard of the the Four Corners, now I know. And I should have got the Czech one, seeing as I work there. Doh. Good one, thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #41022: Nice one (3 years, 8 months ago)

POOKMAN6 @ #41008: I don't know why I feel obliged to respond to this, but I will. I created this walls about seven years ago. My father and I would send each other walls regularly. He is a rugby fanatic so I thought I'd try and catch him with this one. I simply thought of rugby terms then tried to find groups to put them in. There is not a plethora of definitions for hack... I have only recently discovered this site and started uploading all my old walls. Why would I use a group from a grid in the very recent history? That would be the mark of a cretin and indeed, not cool! No intentional plagiarism here. (3 years, 8 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #40977: Dude; some groups just fit together nicely. I wrote mine months ago. Just a coincidence. It's a great grid. 7/10 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #40907: Yes, it is assumed to be suicide. Might have mixed up JC with MOV? Enjoyable, 5* ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #36651: Awesome. Thanks. At first I was like, What, I'll never get this... but then, Ten yay. Brilliant (3 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #41008: The quack group just lifted from 40861 - not cool. (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #29264: nice (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #34856: ten yay thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #40959: I like the kelly distinction which too many don't make. The other 2 group's insolent see the crossovers tho ( Clarkson I guess) (3 years, 8 months ago)

R Burns @ #41002: Not sure why my grid did not appear in the main list! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #40904: Nice grid, not too tricky (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pop jimmy @ #40965: Thx mr picky I was well stuck with the last beat one, dead would've been better (3 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #40977: Unless you are a Little Quill alias or you have used a significant amount of words from his recent grid. Either way, perhaps a little repetitious? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40831: 'Victoria I' (for example) is not really a valid name/title. British monarchs, where there is no other of that name, customarily don't carry their ordinal number. There was no 'Queen Victoria I' although there was a 'Queen Victoria'. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #40972: Small points but consistency with capitals and UK spelling centre. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40965: You asked for comments... arithm - very good, I was stuck with arithmetic. 'ice' group is good. 'purple veg' - is weak as it uses a different spelling; what about 'dead'? I got one group easily because I know your hobby (from #39671). Is that enough? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Shirley McCready @ #40969: With respect, Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel. It is Tel Aviv. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gracie Gardner @ #40898: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #40959: Good quiz, but they're technically homophones, not homonyms! (3 years, 8 months ago)

pop jimmy @ #40965: pls comment on this grid to help me out, comment please (3 years, 8 months ago)

tim mcdonald @ #40965: well done! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tim @ #40803: Yours are always well-crafted grids (which don't get too niche!). Thank you. (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #40950: V Good (3 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew Pepper @ #40899: "pedal" is misspelt as "peddle" (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40924: !!Warning!! This can not be solved with general knowledge alone. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #40887: Please change to accept Jennifer otherwise good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Enzed @ #40924: Maybe there should be be a thing like a rollercoaster- if you're smaller than this you can't ride. In this case if you're only 8 years old you can't post. I probably should have signed this Victor Meldrew would Epic understand the reference? (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #40904: V good (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #40924: Way too niche for me (3 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #40904: top quality (3 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #40577: Well constructed, but these categories have been done to death (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #40923: Good (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #40899: red and white are interchangeable? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #40882: Liked that sol line! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Juul @ #40885: 5* for including the did line, got it straight away, ty. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MrsG @ #40907: Hi, she does but it doesn't happen onstage so it isn't actually seen; instead it is reported during the 4th act. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Robinsons @ #8618: Love the Only Connect link...first one we've seen! (3 years, 8 months ago)

St john @ #40831: Smashing twist on Historical general knowledge, thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40864: Don't expect to solve this with general knowledge - for most of the groups. (3 years, 8 months ago)

css @ #40864: Great grid! not sure on the Roses/Fury one as i've never even heard of the series, but other than that a really fun one. (3 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #40872: How many butters? Brilliant one. I got 3 out of ten... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #40786: Puzzgrid subreddit - The rook is known as a castle in some parts of the world! Though you're right it's also a move in chess. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #40834: Two identical answers in the same group - I'm guessing you were a bit distracted when you were making this wall! I'm not sure "eclectic" is a known music genre either - did you mean electric? Plus there's a bit of an over-emphasis on music links. Was this your first try at making a wall? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Had enough @ #40824: Can't believe people are rating this. This site seems to be overrun by teenage boys at the moment. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Calvin Johnson @ #40747: Good Game and the time is sufficient. Could Jehovah's Prophets be shorten to just prophets? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40722: One group is too US biased for a UK labelled grid. Yes, they are all in the UK but, for some, only just. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40698: Ful Marx. Veri Gud. T. Hanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

stjohn @ #40698: Just a bit of fun (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #40694: Your categories were good but you need to take more care with your keywords. For example, I put 'terrier' for the terriers category and was marked incorrect, presumably because the keyword you put in was the plural, 'terriers'. Also, rice is rice, distinct from noodles. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MGM @ #40663: Come on, a duo since 1989, I think that’s probably long enough to consider them fair play. And sure, there are plenty of others, but not very many that would work as a red herring for another category! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40681: I know that feeling. Cheers. (3 years, 8 months ago)

AlexJCall @ #40681: @Alien DNA - that's fair enough! It became one of those grids that I just had to do, because the idea had lodged itself in my brain. It's over now, I can move on! :D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40681: Usually like your grids, but not this one. I got the theme but the counting became a bit tedious rather than intriguing. Hope others enjoy it more. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40677: Too many a bit too obscure (for me anyway). Especially down, shock, fold and walker. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #40677: ; D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40676: Excellent. Wide variety of genres there, makes it a bit tricky. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #40663: Gary Egg, there was a third member of Bros, Craig Logan, who left the band in 1989. Plenty of other duos to choose from tho... Pet shop boys, Wham!, Eurythmics, Roxette.... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40655: Excellent. I got one and that for the wrong reason! Totally baffling til the reveal. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40656: Good one. I know nothing of the holy sport, so any confounders from that line passed me by and probably made the rest easier. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kay @ #40652: Zapatero category was brilliant! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40652: Really good. Love the Chaucer line. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pop jimmy @ #40645: What! Egg tooth just doesnt work! I'm on your side about the football takeover and all, but "Spoon feed the baby" cmon man, just frustrated about the fact I spent the whole game wound up with molars just to find out it was a tooth no one knows. Come ooon (3 years, 8 months ago)

tim mcdonald @ #40658: siiiick, pictures! so unique (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40645: Not going to spoon feed the baby. Look up egg tooth. (3 years, 8 months ago)

tim mcdonald @ #40645: egg is not a tooth bro, molar is. if that was the point, please tell me why (3 years, 8 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #28545: Way too hard for me. I didn't recognise most of the words let alone know what connected them. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Drew @ #40639: Football, again. Football isn't quiz material. If your gonna make a grid about sport, atleast make it a properly good sport (3 years, 8 months ago)

Drew @ #40639: I beg you to stop making football grids. Make rugby ones instead (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #40652: Brilliant (3 years, 8 months ago)

Drew @ #40644: Kaikell, whats your problem man (3 years, 8 months ago)

Barny @ #40644: Good grid, loved the tik tok ones (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #40644: Bloody Tik Tok?! If there's a Venn diagram with people who love intelligent quizzes and people who immersed in Tik Tok culture (if that isn't an oxymoron) then you may be the only person in the overlap! :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

XYZMan @ #40644: One line very difficult (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bond J Bond @ #40589: Yes, I agree that some of the usual features of these grids are not there. However, I like occasional experiments into doing things a bit differently. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40624: Loved it. Found my way to the stadia easy enough, but kept following Arsenal to the final ... (3 years, 8 months ago)

AlexJCall @ #40624: Pleased with my 2. Living near the county ground helped. Though my mother would be furious if I didn't point out they're currently league one (soon to be league two again, though, I fear) (3 years, 8 months ago)

clockwork @ #40624: As a football fan I loved this one. I knew what was connected but could not group into fours but on the actual connections no problem Nice to see my team there as well. Last time we won anything 1969 Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #3422: This was a clever little grid but the US presidential initials let it down. That's really not a fair expectation. Loved the Arrested Development category. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #40613: That was fun. You might want to add in the missing W in Cntdn. (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40622: Really, really good, had me scrabbling around trying to get the 'shy' characters. Fun grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40175: Alan, no need to give such strong spoilers! See my (same) comment earlier. (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40624: Yes, its a football one. Yes, its dead hard. If its not your bag feel free to swerve it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Warren @ #40621: Whoa, amazing grid! So many misleading clues to keep you on your toes! Also, how you thought that category about cheese cake flavours and baseball brands really shocked me (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pop jimmy @ #40582: Wassup mr picky, I'm sry that I called u a hater man. Are we cool now? Plus, warner Bruvs is great! Thanks man. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40582: What about 'warner bruvs' in place of 'the people who made toy story'? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40582: Thanks for the mention. Sorry if my comments sound like I'm a hater. I enjoy the wide variety of puzzles and their little flaws. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #40621: Especially liked the Martin and Oliver groups (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40558: I love obscure football knowledge but my word that was a tricky one. Really enjoyed it though, very nicely put together (3 years, 8 months ago)

Greg Gibson @ #40311: Can't check the answers (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40614: A bit fat 0! Anything to do with HM and co is a no-go area for me, so that whole group were confounders. I missed the glad tidings and I'm shocked I missed UA. Excellent grid. Thanks for the humiliation, I think ... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40613: Excellent. Nice mix of subjects to throw you off the scent initially, but easy once one of each was figured out. 5* thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #40585: I liked it (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #39499: Same as #39498 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40548: Yup. The Annapurna Circuit is a hiking trail. People really should look things up before being critical. Took all of 10 seconds to find that. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Barny @ #40548: Pretty sure hmfc needs to make his own grid so he can stop picking on others (3 years, 8 months ago)

HMFC @ #40548: No. Strolling with your dog in the park is a walk. Annapurna is a 20,000 foot plus range of mountains - NOT a walk. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kay @ #40566: Nice one for today! Cheers from the US. (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40587: Answers for capital cities group is a bit strange? (Eg Does the Pope have a house in Kenya???) Also the German things poor answer. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alan @ #40175: Nice but it's not unique. Reservoir can go in with the bodies of water, pushing Oasis into the Britpop bands and Pulp fills the gap in the Tarantino films. (3 years, 8 months ago)

I mean I'm sure I would be handsome if I was teh creator, because I'm not but anyways HOW DARE YOU SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT MY PUZZGRID! I mean that is what I would say if I was the heroic and selfless creator that sacrificed his time for the greater good of cheetos, which I am definitely not, I am not the creator ok!? Ok. Anyways, it's a 5 star from me! Byeeee YOU BAD PEOPLE! Is what I woul dsay if I was the creator which I'm not ok ok byeeee! =D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Nat @ #40567: CHEETO U is wasteman still bruv. I'm actually surprised that you had the mental capacity to construct a grid. Take your imbecility and go play with the other wastemen and girls in the park. And pull your trousers up while you're at it. Pussyhole! (3 years, 8 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #40528: Oh that's a very fun concept... (3 years, 8 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #40175: 10/10, but made me work for it! Spent too long at the beginning realising you could add a letter to "once" and "pond" to get a weight and trying to find more (3 years, 8 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #40541: 7/10, Berry group was clever but was never going to get it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #40313: Nicely done on the anagrams. I live in Louisiana and missed it... haha (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #40404: Maybe accept entrances for the portals? Overall nicely done with enough herrings about B&B to be fun. Thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Supertailz @ #40543: Help! This and next one are duplicates of #40542 but I can’t figure out how to delete? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Cajun @ #40445: Jumped on the B's and the keys. Just got in under the wire on the nobles. very nice grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Supertailz @ #39431: Thank you for the note! I'll fix that! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #33032: I liked this one a lot (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #38986: I can't believe I see an Unus Annus reference on here of all places lmfao (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #39967: Facebook also has double letters, I thought that was a clue but I included Facebook in it. I realized there were 5 words with double letters so I ruled that out as an option. Maybe do a different company instead please. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dominic @ #40538: Film, my specialist subject :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #15817: Outstanding (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #14099: So different to others, intriguing (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40527: I think its fair enough to say they are all composers of what is called "classical music" as opposed to pop, jazz etc. BTW the others are from the Baroque period, not the Classical. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #38867: HArd, who are the Animals of Farthing wood (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kel @ #40530: Some great red herrings and really interesting range of categories. Really enjoyed this. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pleen @ #40522: Nice! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr. Big @ #40530: Nice red herrings! Especially the 'Sex and the City' names having nothing to do with it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Daftquiz @ #40522: Gloriously cheeky. Fantastic grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bishop Trelawney @ #40527: Excuse me sir, but Chopin is most certainly a Romantic composer! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40516: Very good. I was getting there, just too slowly. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Annie @ #40515: Enjoyed this one, thank you! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #40515: Very good grid, nice spread of subjects Couple of good red herrings Couldn't resolve the wall, but got all the links 6 for me 10 for you Thanks for posting (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40513: Very tricksy until it clicks. Then a farly easy 10/10. Thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40500: Excellent, just failed on the Welsh line, kicking myself for missing the connection as it contained two of my favourites. (3 years, 8 months ago)

James @ #40495: Great grid. Enough red herrings to keep you on your toes (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40442: Very enjoyable, lovely grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39671: 'Hawk' should be 'Hawke' (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40489: My dad called and asked for his jokes back. Really enjoyed that thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39671: Hmm, skateboarding. Maybe a bit niche for oldies like me. My 'Up' suggestion comes from my horse riding days as a carefree youth. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40175: Ambiguity alert! Pulp -> Reservoir -> Oasis -> Pulp (Too many red herrings can lead to ambiguity.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

pop jimmy @ #39671: hi mr picky, mount hawke is a skatepark. plus, "up" wouldnt fit the category either. thank you for your help man (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #40482: Brilliant! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #5919: Don’t understand numbers dtations (3 years, 8 months ago)

Glooey @ #40175: Not all that difficult to complete, but getting a red herring into every single group very is hard to do - great job. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb @ #40458: Good explanations ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40442: Not sure why this has been marked down. It's a very good grid, which falls into place if you get KK. Maybe something to do with the answer categories? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Chris Brady @ #40480: English my butt... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1196: This is labelled as a UK grid. Cotton Candy is not a UK thing. We call that candy floss. Similarly, Bum(in this context),Heiny and tush are American, not common usage in UK (3 years, 8 months ago)

shelpole @ #40415: Sorry! There was a poorly answered group on this but have changed in light of your comments. Thanks! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #40457: The Bajan set got me. Very clever. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #40458: I like the Yolo and Rita sets. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #40466: Nice grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40451: I don't understand how this got marked down - perhaps sense of humour failure - I gave it 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40451: @Bowiewhist Sorry for being a bit cheeky and asking for specifics about the footballers. And of course for slyly throwing in some Americanisms. Thanks for playing (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40451: @Alien DNA I believe you, thousands wouldn't. Thanks for having a go :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40385: 6 out of ten and couldn't get the honey group sorted - knew the reasons but not quick enough. Good grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40451: Excellent, only 4/10 because my mind is too pure for this sort of thing. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40418: Hmm - struggled a bit to divide my last two groups and forgot completely I could have limited attempts so was thwarted by my own rash clicking. 5/10 but wouldn't have got the Nestle group reason no matter how much time given. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40429: 10/10 with 2 mins 20 to go. Very simple and really nicely put together. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40436: Pretty good and got all connections bar the US one - try to avoid ones with American knowledge needed. However a good grid that works well. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40042: Loved this one - very good and I sorted it all with over a minute left. Something a little different. Thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40403: A mere four out of ten for me and yet I was so nearly there. Liked the challenge but failed it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40333: Spot on - decent answers and correctly listed as easy. Acheived with 2.22 left. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #40451: Goodness this was tricky. I got none right although I did recognise two footballers. But footballers wasn't sufficient in the answers. Being British I wasn't great on the US element - and I only click on union flag puzzles to avoid Americanisms so must have elected this one in error. Just the two points and I think it is far harder than suggested. (3 years, 8 months ago)

haywood @ #40436: great grid. What was W's code name? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39671: Hawk? Please explain. 'Up' would make more sense. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #40444: Nice grid, only downside is that you can swap Field of Dreams with Bull Durham and the grid still works. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40042: 'What wind does' should 'What winds do'. The others in the group don't have the 's' at the end. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Pudding man @ #39679: Only an idiot would suggest that a dessert is a pudding. Desserts are sweet things at the end of a meal whereas puddings are proper foods that build real people. None of your "May I have a creme brulee". Slap on the custard, Dave, and have yourself a real pudding. (3 years, 8 months ago)

jerome flatley @ #39671: this is the best grid my eyes have ever seen, what a grid. proper skillz bro the grid is mental (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gould3 @ #21012: Very satisfying grid to complete! I've never had a grid go that well for me before. I can see there are some good overlaps and red herrings, but I managed to fortuitously click the correct options first time. Completed the board with 2:38 still remaining, and scored the bonus! (3 years, 8 months ago)

YAN @ #40403: Really liked the idea but Michelle (Obama/Rubber Soul) and Eleanor (Roosevelt/Rigby) can be swapped so there is more than one solution. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40429: Maybe 'Small letter' should be ''Short letter'. The size of the letter is unimportant. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40321: Clever idea (almost a bit too clever). It's good to try something a bit different. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40429: Excellent. An easy 10 to start the day. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Martin Greenshields @ #40429: Excellent (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #40428: Brutal. I got two points, and one was by mistake. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Martin Greenshields @ #40430: Good one. Perhaps add more descriptions for celestial objects. e.g astronomical terms etc (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #35663: An excellent grid. Good themes, overlaps and red herrings. Well thought out and a pleasure to solve. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40208: Thanks for fixing 'trap'. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #4165: A good grid overall with some nice themes for the sets, but relying on knowing four very specific details from one particular TV show that many solvers may well never have watched doesn't seem to me to fall within 'general knowledge'. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40326: Don't believe the 'pathetic grid' comment. Wendy Whaleyums didn't like it, fine but I did. The grid has 4 distinct and different groups. Yes, all the words are cities and that's what's good about it. Sorry PetePants (great name) for that unhelpful and negative comment. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40333: Your use of 'preceded' is not right but it's obvious what you mean. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40333: One is not all that famous. Although well done for picking one from the 'less obvious' options. (3 years, 8 months ago)

clockwork @ #40337: Your answers are not good enough No 3 also misspelt No1 (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wendy Whaleyums @ #40326: Pathetic grid. I don’t mean to be aggy but it’s really embarrassing that you made this. Not too late to delete it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40262: Very well thought out with neat overlaps and deliberate confusions! Very clever. And I never knew AH was from Belgium! (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #33491: I think one 'contains other words' set per grid is fine but not more than one. Makes solving v difficult but not in a good way. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #12552: I think they are homophones (sound alike) not homonym (same spelling). A very good grid. 'One eye' is a great theme for a set! Some great overlaps too. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #16584: Some nice theme ideas but a tough challenge. I've never heard of 'pot' with that meaning. Never heard of a 'caesar' hair cut. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #1396: A good grid! A nice range of themes with good overlaps and red herrings. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Daftquiz @ #40269: Really enjoyed that. Nice one (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40283: *For animal lovers - and expecting screams of outrage! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Bob S @ #40269: Top gridding! (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40244: Nice grid. (And educational. I had to google to find out that although Franz Kafka was Czech he was a German speaker and wrote "The Trial" in German. Thanks.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40144: Like it, especially Das! Wall a bit dodgy. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #40215: A bit misleading as there is no country called Congo. There is the DRC and the Republic of the Congo. But the Congo is merely a river (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alessandro @ #40144: Nice grid, but tough in places. I'd say that one of the football teams needs the word united after it though to be fair (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #40168: Fun grid! Check spelling of friends' character - its confusing (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #30437: One set is very culturally determined. Can't be guessed unless you're from a particular country and follow a particular sport. Otherwise, good. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #40175: Nice grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #40258: Tough grid. By the way, typhoon is not of Japanese origin. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typhoon (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40042: Very good. Nice construction. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40251: At least one set called for highly specialised info that I don't think falls within 'general knowldge'. But a nice range of themes. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40237: A nice grid. A good range of ideas and themes. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40262: Dang. I was going to do one on famous Bs. Haven't watched BBT so 2 lines were easy and 2 impossible. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Danimal @ #40254: Trans is a slight fudge but apart from that, great grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

VCM @ #40258: Didn't get the CVD but enjoyed it (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40259: 'Funny words' is not a theme. The set of titles is easy to guess even if you know nothing about them because they're the only clues in quotes. Two of the sets are based on names, which doesn't make for a good grid because you just either know the names and their connection or you don't. There's no idea or concept or theme to deduce. (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40247: I think needing to know the Latin names for something AND there being letters removed is a bit too abstruse, even for Puzz Grid. Either one of those devices on their own would be OK, but both together? Not really fair to the solver. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40245: Thankyou for the "tedious" laugh! (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40243: Not good. You don't mean 'preceded' by book, you mean 'followed by'. Three of the sets are just people's names, which doesn't make for a good grid. You either know who they are or you don't. It's better when you're trying to spot themes or conceptual connections, not just knowing someone's name. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40262: Hello Freddgar, I was feeling generous! :-) (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40245: Yeah, probably fair enough. I mean The Beatles and The Who never really got a lot of exposure tbh (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40258: I went for the "easier" of the two versions and completed the wall (3 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #40262: I put Dutch for the Belgian line, got marked correct ! (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40254: Top notch, very enjoyable (3 years, 8 months ago)

MC @ #40245: Not a good grid. The sets require solver to know a lot of highly specific details that can't possibly be regarded as 'general knowledge' . (3 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #40258: Accidentally refreshed the webpage and submitted this grid twice. Apologies. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #40249: Didnt except spots or stripes (3 years, 8 months ago)

heidi allen @ #39879: this was easy to group the words but difficult when had to do the meanings (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40204: The method is nice but almost obvious. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #30982: Nice grid! Hard at the start but it all came together (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40247: Nice (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40241: I quite liked this. I only scored 2 pts, but thought of some of the other connections without being able to complete lines. A couple of minor gripes: it would have been better if the Springboks line were either all plural or all singular.; the TC line could easily have other answers eg just big c. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40231: Thought JB might have been the easy one! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40231: Nice to see this sort of thing again, but I don't know as much as I though I knew. KH of course, and 2 of the other connections but could only find 3 for those. JB passed me by completely. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Horatio @ #40241: Thanks so much for taking the time to build and post a grid, but this grid is absolutely ridiculous! How can anyone who doesn't have the answers in front of them differentiate between the groups. I think you must consider how someone approaches your grids cold, what are the hooks, are there limited links to be made to help the solver. In three minutes it is not possible to solve this grid, it is just a random collection of animals, and none of the actual links (country, continent, philum, species) are applicable.

RegularQuizzer @ #40164: not working , most annoying. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40231: For film buffs - second attempt - hope the glitch is sorted. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40230: SORRY! THIS SEEMS TO BE GLITCHING. I WILL TRY REPOSTING IN A WHILE. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40230: ** This is just for film buffs** (3 years, 8 months ago)

Kim W @ #40217: Puzzle won't accept 'American' for the 'Americans' grid - might be worth editing it to allow for this. Also the nations/shins link isn't great - they don't sound alike at all (I worked out the other 3) (3 years, 8 months ago)

L.a @ #15868: Fantastic (3 years, 8 months ago)

L.a @ #3: Very difficult for the dim witted like me (3 years, 8 months ago)

L.a @ #44: I should've got one but apparently I can't spell anagrams haha, overall very good wall, a few red herrings (3 years, 8 months ago)

L.a @ #98: Fantastic, night time clue really caught me put (3 years, 8 months ago)

Si @ #181: First category I type beans, it wants bean. Second category I type cup and it wants beans. I give up (3 years, 8 months ago)

DDDDDDDDeeeeee @ #40128: the spice girls one is a lot but the rolls was great! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #38987: Today wouldn’t mean now if said in the morning. Very soon is more appropriate. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Si @ #171: Micro, Am not given as correct answers. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40204: Brilliant! Took most of my time to get the concept, then raced through to completion with 15s left. A very satisfying 10. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40194: Afraid I have to agree. I enjoy football and I enjoy numbers, but these are so obscure. The 2012 line wasn't too bad because it had a kind of hook and the maxima was possible (although I missed it), but I'm not sure even GL would have got the other two! (3 years, 8 months ago)

HMFC @ #40194: There is a fine line between fiendish and impossible and you my friend took a running jump whilst skipping over it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Deb @ #40166: Gr +ow, T+ow etc. also works. I'm pretty sure there are others that work as well. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40207: Sure you put the right flag on this? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40147: 2 Melts do not make a right. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40173: Don't understand why this has been marked down. Perfectly OK grid. I only got 5 but enjoyed it. I gave 5 stars to try to make it visible again. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40205: Agreed, excellent grid, nice mix of subjects and some confounding crossovers meant I barely had time to finish, but a pleasing 10. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TypeB @ #40176: Edited, thanks: the answer shouldn't have said 'Atomic'. (3 years, 8 months ago)

David Cole @ #40205: Excellent grid. I only managed 3/10! (3 years, 8 months ago)

SF7 @ #40176: Personally, I'm not sure I would have a category with three hidden words and one unhidden? There needs to be a theme. (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40193: Excellent grid! Made for world travellers! (I did very badly, got 0/10.) (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40176: Great grid. Ty! (3 years, 8 months ago)

VCM @ #40176: enjoyed it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

daftquiz @ #40177: So good...got nowhere near and thoroughly enjoyed it (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40171: Failed but joyously, not miserably. Spent far too long looking for US states and tried every combination except the correct one for the els. Excellent. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Si @ #40165: Depression type? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40171: Clever (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40164: Just tried it and it seemed to work - sorry I know that is annoying. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40168: Are you HippyHoppy in disguise? 6/10 I didn't get on with the affectionate furries, but guesswork solved the wall. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40164: Correction - only seems to be the housewife one - or possibly only incorrect or blank answers, (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40164: I remember it, so could almost solve it, but not a good subject for me. Great idea though. Is it working alright? I keep getting stuck - have tried 3 times - the connections are OK and so are the first two explanations, but I keep getting stuck on the 3rd, so haven't been able to award 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40094: Great grid! Tough but rewarding! (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #40164: Love it! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40088: Liked the poetic theme (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40164: **For those with good memories, I posted this quite a while ago, so thought I would dusted it off and give it another go : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Michael @ #40150: Sorry, if you're not in a very specific play-reading group this isn't going to make any sense to you. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Faragnikov @ #40048: Out means out (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40138: : ) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gavin @ #40092: You're 'avin' a bubble, mate! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Gavin @ #40132: Make Puzzgrid Great Again! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40138: Oh dear, what a pitiable person. Sorry you're so afflicted J. I marked as 5 star for quality. I don't understand why people can't see that easy can still be good, especially when you have such a record of quality and variety. (3 years, 8 months ago)

christobal @ #40083: The pedant is correct. Enjoyable grid, but no red herrings so quite easy. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #38841: Captain and Mister ought to be OK (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40138: I appreciate your constructive criticism, can you please point out the spelling errors for me 'Wendy Whaleyums'. Thanks. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wendy Whaleyums @ #40138: I've had it up to here with these subpar grids. Didn't make any sense at all. At least spell everything right next time... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wendy Whaleyums @ #40128: A sorry excuse for a grid really... Try harder next time... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40094: 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

BaldEagle @ #40103: HippyHoppy, Alien DNA, thanks. Wendy - totally get why you seem unhappy. I'd have hated this grid if I came across it. Not the type I'd like to solve, but I had the idea, and some people like this sort of smart-ass grid. So there you go. Do I think I'm smart? Nah, no smarter than the next guy. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40103: Loved it, but I failed by always wanting to start at 1. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Wendy Whaleyums @ #40103: Do you think you're smart or something?? Get over yourself... (3 years, 8 months ago)

Nikki @ #40087: I believe gauge is misspelled. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jacob Porter @ #40056: 7/10 (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40103: Great one,loved this grid! Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

Daftquiz @ #40118: Twenty Twelve is shown as a number. The connection suggests it ought to be written as words (3 years, 8 months ago)

clockwork @ #40094: Brilliant. Loved it (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #40076: "School subjects" or something along the lines is perfectly acceptable answer for the classical arts. And I typed "Greek and Latin" for the grid containing "sociology," but it didn't take. I think the answers in the musical scale category are way short for anyone to be likely to recognize or think to look for them. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #40074: 2 elementary and extremely cliche categories and 2 that are almost impossible to separate from each other... not a good grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SeedyEm @ #40092: I was down to the Cockney Rhyming Slang and the body parts... Couldn't 'Apples and Pears' be a "Three Letter Body Part" with ear, and China Plate (Mate) be in the Cockney group? Overall a really enjoyable grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #40092: Too many connections and the connections were too tenuous...A pointless waste of everyone's time...Thanks for nothing KPNUTS (3 years, 8 months ago)

Percy Pedant @ #40083: Grammatically speaking, based on other clues and the solution itself, your empires should be 'Russian' and 'Persian' (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40092: Soooo many red herrings, got nowhere near but thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40070: Good. (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40013: Got me beat apart from one line, thanks J (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40052: Very good indeed (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40091: Far too difficult for me, but I loved the "young" line. Ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40061: Great quality, smashing red herrings etc. ty (3 years, 8 months ago)

TR6 @ #40042: Nice grid J. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #40092: That was Robin Hood! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #39943: @Mr Picky - no, it's the cons in descending order of size so S is the largest. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #40081: Solved the wall, but had no idea on the Angel line, only got by default. Very well played. (3 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #40047: Huntingdonshire isn't a county (the name is confusing) , other than that good grid. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #38832: Same as 38831 (3 years, 8 months ago)

DDDDDDDDeeeeee @ #39832: consistently fun, quality grids, thanks! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #40042: Fun. Keep up the good work. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Guy Wigmore @ #40042: Just the right level for me this evening! Loved the "square" clues (3 years, 8 months ago)

Z @ #40050: Martin, you're a fat virgin. (3 years, 8 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #40042: Great fun. Ty for posting. BTW "to square something /someone up" is commonly used for "to make right, or to pay back". (3 years, 8 months ago)

Holly @ #39984: Good to have something a bit different (3 years, 8 months ago)

Martin Greenshields @ #40050: Worst grid yet (3 years, 8 months ago)

gappy @ #40031: Thanks, both of you, it was a fun one to compile. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Timothy Symes @ #40042: Make Right. ?? Don't get that. All t'other clues fine completed fairly quickly. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #40004: Brilliant. Thank you (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40042: Thanks, I did a few of these 2 or 3 months ago, if you want to check back. (3 years, 8 months ago)

kaikell @ #40042: Great work - refreshingly original. It took me about a minute and a half to realise what was going on in the grid but once I did it wasn;t too bad after that - enjoyable! (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #40019: Thank you! Will give it a go, but it might take me a while :) (3 years, 8 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #40019: @bloss Thank you. If you want to do a music one you need .mp3 URLs. I use catbox.moe for hosting. I look forward to doing someone else's! (3 years, 8 months ago)

BJ @ #39946: Yeah, “rhymes” is a fine answer for the group and should be accepted. (3 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #40019: I love the music ones! Have to work out how to upload them. Pictures were hard enough! (3 years, 8 months ago)

JayDee @ #40031: Really nice wall. Liked the range of categories. Good red herrings. Enjoyed playing it. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Annie @ #40031: Just stared at it in wild surmise, enjoyed it though! (3 years, 8 months ago)

gaffer @ #40009: first group all spanish?? is that not pretentious enough? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen Clark @ #28219: (3 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #23274: The Pastafarian reference is mocking legitimate religions for whom headwear is part of their beliefs. As such, it could be considered offensive. I would suggest this is amended or removed. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen Clark @ #28219: Enjoyed - Not too hard, but clever! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen Clark @ #6833: Family members should accept relatives. Good grid! (3 years, 8 months ago)

Anna @ #40016: Jura is in the Inner Hebrides not the Outer, and Eilean Donan isn't Hebridean at all. They are all Scottish islands though :o) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40018: I fell for the MP red herring, nice. Text is a bit weak so is Rood. There are plenty of others. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #40015: Good grid Nice couple of red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 8 months ago)

Freddgar @ #40016: Eilean Donan is an island, but not in the Outer Hebrides. Other than that very good grid. Thanks for posting (3 years, 8 months ago)

HMFC @ #39999: The capital of Canada is Ottawa. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #37918: Les groupes sont beaucoup trop difficiles à discerner, ça ne correspond pas à l'esprit du jeu :/ J'aime quand il y a des "herrings", les mots qui peuvent aller dans deux groupes, mais là c'était littéralement que ça. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #40012: thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Holly @ #40004: Fun grid (3 years, 8 months ago)

VegasUK @ #39986: I could get 3 of the connections but couldn't work out all the places, ran out of time. Good one (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39991: Maybe OK to have one lesser known entertainment group - but two! Ouch!! Beverly -> Beverley Still -> Stills (and 'still' a bit weak) (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #40005: Spoiled a bit as very few people will know about the group connected to 'ALW'. Otherwise all quite ordinary, (3 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #29707: Clever, varied and challenging, thanks (3 years, 8 months ago)

Yambo @ #40012: Really enjoyed this one. It really unlocked once I figured out the word clue. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39946: you really have to take just "rhymes" for the American Pie group. I promise you no one will think beyond "oh, those words rhyme!" and 3/4 of those Houses are also counties I of all people have heard of... weird coincidence innit. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #40009: I really think it's objectionable to have the group rely on a connection as tenuous as "people with accents somewhere in their names," considering three out of four of that group are also surrealists. If you don't happen to recognize the name Almodovar the grid becomes completely impossible, and even if you do, noticing the accents isn't really clever, it just feels anal retentive. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39996: great grid. only error is that you put almond down in the explanation forthe "Breast" group. (3 years, 8 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39971: grid doesn't really work when you have multiple categories thta are all Pokemon games (3 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #39980: Really very clever and satisfying to (almost) solve (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #39994: countries? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #40004: loved it, 5* (3 years, 8 months ago)

Banjo @ #39980: This is one of the best grids I've seen so far. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Marz @ #39997: 2/10 0:00 Very tricky grid. Got the mags through trial and error and really should have spotted the majors. The rest totally stumped me. I like a varied grid, so if I was to be ultra picky I'd say it was a bit too music centred, but still very challenging. (3 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39943: One shows as '1. S'. Should this be '1. Sthmrc'? (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dries @ #39987: what is a sunbear :D (3 years, 8 months ago)

Dries @ #39817: many crossovers wow (3 years, 8 months ago)

Richard @ #39954: The Czech set was very clever. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Becca @ #31073: Lovely grid, and I kicked myself once when the last two groups were revealed, then again on one of the answers, so set at the perfect level. :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

PhilP @ #39947: This one was a little too niche for my liking I'm afraid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #39944: V good, kicking myself for not getting the Jetsons and I misplled the surname. Nice mix of subjects (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #39943: Apologies to those who've played already. I've edited to ennumerate the Con sequence - should make it plainer. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Holly @ #39928: Good grid.Ty. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Holly @ #39943: Liked this as it was a bit different. (But had to do it twice to complete it!!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #39943: fun! Thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

Becca @ #39949: Enjoyable grid. Suggest adding "monarch" to one of your answer pools. :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39943: 5/10 0:00 Took up most of my time working out the concept and only spotted two groups, but made a third connection after time. Very clever idea, but not sure how I feel about the clue to the connections actually forming part of the groups. Definitely interesting and an alternative to the usual grids. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Richard @ #39944: Nice grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #39943: Enjoyed, good ty. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #39937: Some of these are a bit niche and some of the links are focused on quite similar topics. Nice and lots of good red herrings, but probably wouldn't make it onto Only Connect itself (unless they did a maths/tech special, which wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility). (3 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #39928: Excellent grid Good fun 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39868: 6/10 1:17 Worked out Captains and Cumbria pretty quickly. Got the shops by luck but Canadian writers were never on my radar. Nice. (3 years, 9 months ago)

skelly @ #39584: nice, not too taxing but a few red herrings in there to liven it up :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #30590: 7/10 0:50 Nice grid with some clever red herrings. Totally missed the seaside connection! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39866: 0/10 0:00 Didn't get anywhere close and can't even suggest tenuous linking. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39860: 10/10 1:10 Solved this pretty quickly, mainly because I know birds. Spotted the corvids straight off which left four other birds. The rest all fell straight into place after that. Nice grid though. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39867: 7/10 00:51 Mindblowingly uncanny! I had literally just finished making a grid around Jarman films and with four LU lines all in as red herrings. Back to the drawing board I guess. Nice grid though. Didn't make the cocktail connection. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39833: Apologies for the duplicated clue. It was a typo which I have now corrected. (3 years, 9 months ago)

matt @ #11973: what are wollen gloves? is a lamp furniture? (3 years, 9 months ago)

dank @ #39804: The name Czech republic does not fit the category, the other three country names are no longer used whereas Czech republic is still official name used along with the short form. Maybe consider Burma/Myanmar instead? (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #39673: Lovely grid, ty! Very specialised though, for kids old and young!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39679: I enjoyed the 'puzzle within a puzzle' aspect. Nice. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tony @ #39627: Lore and Sagas can both be based on the truth. You might better call the section instructive stories. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39654: Good grid, I am glad the versatility of Alton Brown as a grid fixture is being properly afforded! (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39660: Dafuq, why did it take "Sam" as an answer for the question about Star Wars actors? Haha (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39663: You can't have STATES and expect a more particular answer (unless you made a grid where every answer was a state). To say nothing of the number of other things which can be abbreviated as some element or other (restricting ourselves to this grid, "Black" can be rendered as K, potassium, and five as V, vanadium). Why not include things besides states which can also be abbreviated like so? It'd be a good category, though you might have to be a little specific to avoid making it too hard (e.g. metals or noble gasses, instead of just elements). The cat is called nyan cat; "pop-tart" cat seems needlessly obscure and a figment of the meme-maker's attempts to authorialize his output. I personally thing categories like "things with two Ps" are bad gridmaking because they're a pretty small facet of the words, and you could never get them unless you had them as one of your final two categories. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39659: Considering Jemima, Tom, the multiple Uncles Ben and the Conan Doyle story Uncle Jeremy I see no reason "aunts and uncles" shouldn't be taken for the green group. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39611: Some fans would object to the mixing of two series. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39580: Almost very good. Slightly spoiled (for me, maybe no one else) by the obscurity of 'hunt'. (3 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #39643: Salah is not a midfielder (3 years, 9 months ago)

Justin @ #39639: There's a bit of an issue with this. You could switch Lee Oswald with any of the answers in the "famous for murder" group and you'd still have a valid wall. Especially if you switch Lee Oswald with John Gacy, because then the "murderers" group becomes the more pointed "assassins" gruop. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Kel @ #39596: Female versions of their names? Ludicrous, absolute stretch and ruined the grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Kel @ #39627: Exactly the same category and most of the same clues in that category as another of your grids. Very poor. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dries @ #39424: i think my rating is fair (3 years, 9 months ago)

Kel @ #39623: Dreadful. If a connection is 'tenuous admittedly' it isn't good enough. All the connections were tenuous. Terrible grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #39558: Following PhilP's spoiler... it's too much knowledge from one film that not enough people will have seen. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39619: 0/10 0:00 Totally stumped. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Zak @ #39048: Spelling corrected, Thank you :) (3 years, 9 months ago)

VCM @ #39586: That's because bra is an abbreviation (3 years, 9 months ago)

Danimal @ #39586: Perfect grid worthy of OC (3 years, 9 months ago)

PhilP @ #39586: Excellent grid. Stared at it for 2.5 mins then all the answers came at once but couldn't get them all in the time. Good example of getting into the mindset of the question setter! Great fun (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39586: 7/10 0:36 Nice grid. Couldn’t spot the connection for the items of clothing even once the group was the last one left. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #39431: Good quiz. I just wish it accepted "cloth" as well as "fabric." Otherwise very nice, lots of red herrings. (3 years, 9 months ago)

PhilP @ #39558: Very satisfying grid! Only one to beat me was the Quadraphenia thread. Aagh! ;) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39588: 4/10 0:52 Got the bridges fairly quickly and the Foreign Secretaries soon after. Lost all three lives trying the last two. Tricky. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39533: 7/10 1:55 Would never have solved the "On the" group but the other three were fairly straight forward. (3 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #39499: Think you meant 'ramsay', not ramsey (3 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #39529: This was supposed to be medium difficulty, not fiendish (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39528: 6/10 0:54 Rods and Cakes was fairly straight forward. Worked out the scottish group but had no idea what the actual connection was. The footwear connection was also lost on me. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39526: 2/10 0:00 Only solved the bass players. The rest had me well and truly stumped. Very tricky. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Shawl @ #39499: really enjoyed this one, thanks! (3 years, 9 months ago)

boop @ #39527: This is probably harder than fiendish. Apologies. Happy New Year (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39470: 7/10 0:09 Once I solved the captains the rest sorted themselves. Didn't spot the puddings connection even when they were given as last ones left. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39506: 6/10 0:14 Mini and PC parts was fairly straight forward. Solved the Twin Peaks group by accident barking up the wrong tree. The animals were never on my radar. Clever. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39507: 1:51 Would never have solved the homophone group but it just fell into place after spotting the other three. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39493: Couldn't solve this. Got the synths and pests/insects. Worked out the shopping connection but couldn't make a group of four. Lost my lives after two groups. The sports brand logos seem obvious now that I know but I didn't spot it. Tricky! (3 years, 9 months ago)

VCM @ #39469: It beat me but it was good. unambiguous themes (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39484: 2:19 Can't believe how quickly I solved this. sometimes you just it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marz @ #39483: Time 0:34 Would never have got the plot device group, but once I had David Lynch and Unlucky the rest fell into place. Nice. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39417: The car insurance companies are kind of obscure, and you should always take "synonym" when you're dealing with a clue like the cat that contains "syndicate." Otherwise I thought this was a fun and original grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

cora @ #38700: thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #39286: The acceptable words need expanding - battle was not accepted for the first category and cat was not accepted for the second category. It would also be more presentable if the clues were all capitalised. There is a good mix of categories and red herrings. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Simon Hayden @ #39284: Good fun and interesting (3 years, 9 months ago)

Emma Church @ #39263: A clever idea and quiz! I think you need to allow 'keyboard' and 'Dr Who' as keywords for explanations though - your expectations are too specific at the moment. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marsupial @ #39281: "Accio" should have two c's, and the lack of capitalization on everything except the Doctor Who surnames makes that group incredibly obvious. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Lawrie @ #39274: Billy is a male goat. A young goat is a kid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

luskentyre @ #39258: Nice use of red herrings. I'd probably have added some keywords such as just "s" for the first group, and "synonyms" for the last group. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Adrian Gray @ #39242: I think it should be 'lyre' not 'lyra' as the stringed instrument. Otherwise nice grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marsupial @ #39222: I'm with Mouse; I don't think any of the 'heroes' group are actually synonymous with heroes. My best guess was words from TV talent show titles. The tenses don't match, but I honestly think it's closer than heroes. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39234: The fact that "OK boomer" isn't on here is frankly appalling. I'll choke out the admission that this is an excellent grid besides. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #39222: I object to your definition of "Heroes " most celebrities seem to only care about their own well being and any special treatment they can claim. Heroes are people who put the wellbeing of others before their own. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #39210: oh no! I will try to repost, thanks for letting me know (3 years, 9 months ago)

No @ #39184: nobody has ever used 3 in text speak. ever. (3 years, 9 months ago)

DaveyH @ #39224: Thanks Matt, fixed that. (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #39218: Enjoyable, thumbs up for the Gorillaz line. thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #39224: Wouldn't accept "Chocolate" as an answer for the relevant category. I like the category ideas though and how they seemingly overlap. (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #39217: thanks christobal, have amended (3 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #39217: Not bad. Some good red herrings in there, but.... I easily got the synonyms group as they were the only 4 words ending in -ly. Also, it's spelt "sudoko". (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #38972: Doesn't accept correct answers such as "Cocktail" instead of "Cocktails". (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #39211: solved the wall but more by luck than good judgement, thinking jd and qc were libations (3 years, 9 months ago)

TR6 @ #39210: Hi J, yes there is a glitch (3 years, 9 months ago)

McLeod @ #39210: Enjoyed it, ty, but there was a glitch when I got to the answer boxes. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #39213: I like the currency (although perhaps too obvious) and first lady clues but the other clues are too general in my opinion. You should put the full name of the people who died in the explanation as I am still not sure who they refer to (possibly Stirling Moss but then that would be the wrong spelling). This has the making of a good wall but needs some refinement. (3 years, 9 months ago)

BlakRabbit @ #39131: Knew all the groups; just couldn't place 'em. great grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

BlakRabbit @ #39205: I enjoyed this grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Trev @ #39180: Synonyms would be good to have in the answers, otherwise nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

james @ #36954: Top banana.. just got the jim c bit at the last second, great crossover with batman (3 years, 9 months ago)

Sven @ #39200: Too much music stuff, some of it's too specific as well, in my opinion. (3 years, 9 months ago)

james @ #37732: great one phil (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39155: Thanks for fixing it, now it's a great grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Finn Gray @ #39194: Good grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #39163: *** Niche for vintage music lovers only (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39155: "Ceder" isn't uncommon, it's outright wrong. "Raced" works fine as an anagram. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marsupial @ #39157: I'm going to be honest here - if anyone gets 10/10 on this you should probably be burned as a witch. (3 years, 9 months ago)

FWWebmaster @ #39155: Good grid. You might want a different word for the creed anagram as cedar is the more common spelling. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #39136: Nice but straightforward. Once.you try the fake group.there aren't any other candidates that could go.in it (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39140: Great. Always want more grids like this. The "orchestra" category was wonderful, always want there to be more like those. My only beef is that there's two word ones but they're different enough and original so I think it's basically a perfect grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Marsupial @ #39125: "Villain" is missing the second 'i' in the third group (3 years, 9 months ago)

Luke Appleyard @ #28959: Very good connections, quite easy to solve quickly, not enough red herrings!! (3 years, 9 months ago)

JayDee @ #39067: (3 years, 9 months ago)

JayDee @ #39067: It's spelled neigh. I still got it because I figured out you had spelled it incorrectly but others may not, and it spoils an otherwise good grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

JayDee @ #39067: It's spelled neigh. I still got it because I figured out you had spelled it incorrectly but others may not, and it spoils an otherwise good grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #39010: "Bread" and "bones" are both examples of group 3, and I'm sure you would have to agree that "bones" can be broken? You could also argue that space has "worlds." This grid does not have one solution. (3 years, 9 months ago)

timmon @ #38987: Very easy No crossovers / red herrings (3 years, 9 months ago)

Lil mouse @ #39013: Pretty sound grid- well done (3 years, 9 months ago)

francesi @ #5890: Came back five years later and failed to solve :-) Apologies for lack of alternatives for coins (currency/money etc). You can't fix this once you've submitted. But glad some people liked it. It was for my daughter, Lucy (and sister Eleanor) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Kay @ #38903: Athena and Poseidon also appear in the Odyssey, so there is no unique solution. Maybe try humans vs. deities or other clearer separation? (3 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #38916: Weird, too easy (3 years, 9 months ago)

drich @ #38873: Yikes, didn't catch that mistake! Editing it now, thanks. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Terri D’s Mother @ #38953: @Horatio Yazz had several successful U.K. solo releases in the 80s after ‘The Only Way Is Up’, and on each of these she was credited by first name only so I’m afraid your criticism of this grid is unnecessary. Love & light etc. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38956: As an avid chess player I would advise against picking openings so obscure I have to look them up just so you can fit in a loose Friends herring. And a ski doesn't lift; it can be followed by lift, but an elevator lifts, a fork is lifted, and a ski can be followed by lift. Not the same thing. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alan @ #38944: For the "tail___" group I think you could also accept "down___" Downpipe, downwind, down coat, downlight (3 years, 9 months ago)

Horatio @ #38953: Yazz and the Plastic Population - so not known by first name only I am afraid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #38916: Thank you! (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38918: I really liked this grid but the fact that "funny women" wasn't accepted for comediennes when that's THE case study given right next to the field to enter in acceptable answers is pretty bad. Ditto "detective writer" for "suspense/mystery authors." Either way, like I said, it's a good and creative grid and I enjoyed it. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jmelb[*] @ #38881: And to you and yours! : D (3 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #38898: Best puzzle yet (3 years, 9 months ago)

Supertailz @ #38837: @bloss he’s not!! You’re 100% right! He was supposed to be Albany! (Raleigh was left over when from when I was contemplating either playwrights or writers people claim were Shakespeare and US state capitals!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #38919: Rednapp is spelt Redknapp (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #34231: Should accept lumber for the board group. And Sumo is an exercise? Overall, nice grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

James T. @ #38868: Thanks HippyHoppy! I came up with the season group cos I was trying to think of a category that copper would fit in as a bit of a red herring for the elements group and I realised it splits into 'cop' and 'per' so I thought that was a good idea. Although, I'm a bit annoyed that cop is like an informal word but what can u do 'ey. (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38868: Great grid. Well done. I loved the season group! Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

James T. @ #38868: Thanks Sven. :) Sorry if it was a bit too hard though. (3 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #28141: I got stuck thinking: Wedding- (groom, officiant, usher) and thinking homonyms- (sense, maid, night) that I ended with 1 point. (3 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #33026: Maybe allow "same letters" for the anagram one. Otherwise, great puzzle (3 years, 9 months ago)

Daxw @ #38852: Very good. The Tarantino red herring sent me way off the scent - but still completed it. Good quality and good difficulty level (for me) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #38838: It would be helpful to not abbrievate in the explanations. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #35042: The Sondheim category is beyond me but nicely done. 7/10 (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #35125: Nice red herrings with the beans. Well done (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cajun @ #35136: I don't know if I'd consider San Fran or Georgia as "popular fonts", otherwise great grid (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #38804: Very clever, too clever for me. Thank you for adding to my knowledge. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38838: 5 stars for Courage the you-know-what. Also, I would object to using "dwarf" in the same sense for all but one of the clues for the dwarf category. I think you could fix that by changing either Tyrion or Thorin to something else - maybe "pygmies"? Maybe a medical dwarf? (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38726: thanks for keeping us posted on your viewpoint Collin (3 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #38694: Huge fun, thank you. (Couldn't get the films at all) (3 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #38721: Satisfyingly obscure, but surprisingly easy except for the cats. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #38672: A fine grid. Thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #38694: Haha, so good! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Collin @ #38726: Really great board! (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38605: When three of your categories can be correctly answered by just typing in "Christmas" I think you've done something wrong. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38679: Easy but really fun. My only gripe is that "Yuletide" arguably isn't synonymous with Christmas. And I really doubt you're stumping many people that there's a Christmas category in this grid, so it could probably be changed. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Boney Man @ #38694: Good Christmas fun! (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #38694: Thanks for all the kind words folks. I love making these. They'll be one more festive special before Christmas.... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Santa @ #38694: Genius level grid. I did find the movie one a little tenuous, but still one of my all time favourite grids. (3 years, 9 months ago)

JayDee @ #4718: Interesting categories, nice range, ebjoyed this grid. (3 years, 9 months ago)

emzy @ #38694: Really fun. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Stavros @ #60: Should have accepted Royal Houses and SDP. Otherwise, enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nikki @ #38694: Very good. I got 2 out of the 4 (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nikki @ #9633: I knew the last one...but it just wouldn't come... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nikki @ #9632: Did quite well on this one. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nikki @ #10987: Ah, the third set.... (3 years, 9 months ago)

RBCN13 @ #38694: Loved it! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Martin @ #38686: Gabriel too spurious (3 years, 9 months ago)

DeeR @ #38700: I can't be the only one who said 4th of July instead of New Years Eve...right?.... (3 years, 9 months ago)

EOS @ #38694: Excellent (3 years, 9 months ago)

flanners @ #38694: Excellent grid! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Sleepy Beard @ #38694: That was great fun! (3 years, 9 months ago)

McLeod @ #38694: Aw, you even had holey cheeses:) Good one, ty. (3 years, 9 months ago)

E Musk @ #38692: Tough but excellent. (3 years, 9 months ago)

maybethistime @ #38692: Ran out of time but thought this was the best grid I have seen for ages. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Shazz @ #38673: Enjoyed this one. Thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aussiemandis @ #38676: I loved the two Disney groups but not sure about the others. Taciturn doesn't really fit , it is similar to the others but not actually the same meaning. Dexter is similar, I get what the writer was going for but the group description is not what he is. (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #38390: Really nice! Thanks (3 years, 9 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #38672: Lovely Jubbly! (3 years, 9 months ago)

ViolinChick @ #38611: Preview? Maybe you mean Andre Previn. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nate @ #38562: I liked it, but agree with the other comment -- the grid would still be correct if Mamba and Adder were switched. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #37688: Get changed is not quite right. Get dressed (for example) would be better. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nikki @ #37058: Good. Didn't get the last one (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nikki @ #38672: Just right (3 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #38672: Good grid, nice mix Maybe allow FLOTUS ? Thanks for posting (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38668: Fun grid. Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Brian @ #38671: the X and the Y? Bobbins of cotton (3 years, 9 months ago)

Brian @ #38672: not too demanding. just how I like 'em (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38673: Nice grid. Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Sed @ #38613: Crack isn't a word for cocaine it's a separate thing, so allowing "drugs" or "drug slang" would be nice for that one. Other than that, nice wall. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Johnny @ #38663: Reagan ! (3 years, 9 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38667: Lovely grid - I like the mix of topics. Ty (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cron @ #38663: I think Regan should possibly be Reagan, if it's the president? (3 years, 9 months ago)

VegasUK @ #38655: I like this one but I think you could have Lemon and Moon in either catagory, so possibly not a unique solution. Lemon Pie is similar to a Key Lime pie and Keith Moon was drummer for The Who Nice one though... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeet @ #38660: rather easy! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie @ #38634: Good grid, but could you add secret agents to answer for spies? (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aaron Purba @ #38660: very good very nice (3 years, 9 months ago)

Schpie @ #38658: Possibly just an autocorrect but should be Jeff Stelling (3 years, 9 months ago)

RamboJambo @ #38658: Hi, Thoroughly enjoyed this puzzgrid you made. Keep up the good work and hopefully see you soon for a catch up! RamboJambo x (3 years, 9 months ago)

Daz @ #38647: Godawful...dont waste your time (3 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen @ #38647: agree with cron (3 years, 9 months ago)

Cron @ #38647: Think hotels should an acceptable solution to the "Marriot, Hardrock, Hyatt, Hilton" group. Currently it says they're all types of flowers. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Nick G @ #38562: adder and mamba are interchangeable (3 years, 9 months ago)

Johnny @ #38539: coRvids (!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #38619: Oops..that was meant to read 'over' 50. (3 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #38619: Beckenbaur is Franz but I think it was easy to spot and ignore the mistake in the context of the grid and as far as having heard of the film Ten...that depends on how old you are and most men of 50 DEFINITELY remember it!!!!!😉 (3 years, 9 months ago)

The setter @ #38632: If you like these dual grids, try 37468 and 37469 (3 years, 9 months ago)

The setter @ #38632: Now try 38631. It has one letter in one word different to this grid. Yet the solution is very different. (3 years, 9 months ago)

The setter @ #38631: To HippyHoppy, thanks for liking the experiment. (3 years, 9 months ago)

The setter @ #38631: If you like these dual grids, try 37468 and 37469 (3 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #38390: Lovely grid. Just up my street. Thank you (3 years, 9 months ago)

Brian @ #38598: Enjoyed that (3 years, 9 months ago)

Brian @ #38605: All from Christmas TV specials? Really (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alan @ #38619: Its Franz Beckenbauer not Frank, and surely you could have come up with something better for the 10 group than an old Dudley Moore movie that 99% of people won't have heard of? (3 years, 9 months ago)

LemonJelly @ #38390: Very nice – I only got the systems one within time, but once the wall was resolved I was able to guess the other categories. I felt like I'd tried all the biscuit combinations, but evidently not! (3 years, 9 months ago)

LemonJelly @ #38615: That was ridiculously hard! The animals before films clue was nice (and the only one I got). However, I have to take issue with the alliterating football clubs clue. Alloa Athletic and Cumbernauld Colts are very esoteric even for football fans, and Cardiff City isn't really what I'd consider to be true alliteration. (3 years, 9 months ago)

thomascromwell @ #31044: There shouldn't be multiple solutions. (3 years, 9 months ago)

LemonJelly @ #38619: Pretty fun! Got that it was a numbers connection straight away, but had to guess a few of the clues. The days a week got me good... (3 years, 9 months ago)

Schpie @ #38606: I'm relatively interested in cricket (played for about 10 years and watch/look out for the results in a lot of England games) but even I had no clue... It's just too niche. I was really hoping for some non cricketing categories and accept you completely had me but 4 cricketing questions isn't really how the red herrings work. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38610: Outstanding 5* ( though never heard of chesterfield as a surname : GK Chesterton?) (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38390: Having used the Bourbon one myself a few years ago, this unwrapped nicely and was devoured in no time (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38575: Ditto. There's not a lot of red herring here (3 years, 9 months ago)

bad grid @ #38561: asteroid is spelled wrong and mamba and adder can be swapped since "black mamba" is both a real kind of snake and Kobe Bryant's nickname. (3 years, 9 months ago)

DeeR @ #38605: The final connection made me laugh out loud. Nice! (3 years, 9 months ago)

Carol T @ #10151: Nice red herrings! (3 years, 9 months ago)

DH @ #38592: The Iron Maiden is probably a 19th century fabrication. Cheers (3 years, 9 months ago)

Aussiemandis @ #38582: Not a bad grid but too many iterations that also give a valid solution exist. i.e. swap lion with either onion or wine Move Kite and Squirrel to the group with stuff, move cross to red group, fish to white group and wine or onion to red group. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Tick No @ #38606: "Is this grid of general interest" (3 years, 9 months ago)

Lebster @ #15868: Good fun (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #30391: 'Ecclesiastical incline' is wrong. 'Ecclesiastically unwell' (for example) would be better. 'Digger' should be 'Diggers'. 'Lifelong pump' should be 'Lifelong pumps'. 'Pregnant when in it' should be 'Pregnant when in them'. One clue saying 'she' is a bad distraction. Also, it's a bit sexist as others don't say 'he'. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #38586: No overlaps. Disappointing. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Freddgar @ #38575: Good grid ditto about KW Thanks for posting (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #38516: 'Half' is not quite right. It should be hyphenated with another word. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #38516: Your explanation starting 'first' should be 'fifth'. They all have four before the one you mention. (I'm trying not to give a spoiler!) (3 years, 9 months ago)

jim @ #32073: good one.. took a while for the row (3 years, 9 months ago)

Dries @ #38330: Frustrating grid, not very good. The challenge shouldnt come from having to guess duplicates. Keep trying and keep on trucking. (3 years, 9 months ago)

jim @ #38374: Exactly what Helen said.. street grrrr (3 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #38506: Some explanations / expansions of the answers would be nice. (3 years, 9 months ago)

Anne @ #1562: says i got the correct answers when i didn't (3 years, 9 months ago)

Alan @ #37729: Impossible to see what is in some of these pictures. I'm on a 13" laptop, which is fine for everything else, but these are way too small. Also "bark" for "Bach" only works in certain accents - NOT in mine. So, all in all, not a good grid, but thanks for trying. (3 years, 9 months ago)

wreckless eric @ #38493: Hmmm not sure about this one - what are/is Chi in clue one, clue 2 should read Ron Doo Da Ron and clue 3 Brick Yellow Goodbye Road.......................lame... (3 years, 9 months ago)

letao @ #37879: Nice grid. For the "Add A at the beginning to make the word negative" category, I don't think "atrophy" means the negative of "trophy"? (3 years, 10 months ago)

letao @ #37982: This is beautiful. Love this type of grid. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #10577: Great (3 years, 10 months ago)

Spike @ #38390: Nice grid. I got the hobnob and solar groups first too, and then the others were able to be deduced. Just got the Windsor connection in a flash of inspiration (3 years, 10 months ago)

Moira @ #29381: I only got 7/10 but I’m hoping the Supreme Court will overturn this result for me (3 years, 10 months ago)

emzy @ #38373: The connection involving "strange" is very obscure. Enjoyed the others. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Sara Lee @ #38401: I put money, so missed out on the full score. I think it should be added as a correct answer. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Cron @ #38401: Think you should probably add denominations and money to the acceptable/linking words for the second clue, otherwise great wall! (3 years, 10 months ago)

JB @ #35541: This one was super fun, it wasn't too difficult but fell together nicely! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Nikki @ #98: Nice (3 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #38371: I know we're not supposed to comment with 'It should accept,' but I really think an exception is due here. 'Awful, overblown films by a pretentious arse,' ought to work for the Nolan group. Otherwise, nice grid, thanks. ;-) (3 years, 10 months ago)

frog @ #38169: I suppose eventually a fiendish one was going to actually be fiendish. (3 years, 10 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #38359: Good grid but the speedy line didn't accept synonyms and the Grande line didn't accept singers. I enjoyed it though! (3 years, 10 months ago)

frog @ #38360: -demic, fine and topical. -sexual, fine and some clever red herrings. But the -leptic words are extremely obscure, except narco. And the -cep words are just plain wrong. pascep? lapcep? nercep? (3 years, 10 months ago)

ok... @ #38360: Pretty dumb grid, seems like the writer found a bunch of obscure words with the same ending and put them together, despite the fact most people will have never have heard of them. In addition some aren't even words, which makes it absolutely impossible (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #38373: Gavin beat me to the comment 👍. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #38354: LOL - I did hesitate in using that picture as it really isn't very appetising. And now you've put that thought into my head....argggh! (3 years, 10 months ago)

tch @ #38354: I really liked the grid but not so much what you've done to poor Donner (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38343: Given the idea by #38330 (3 years, 10 months ago)

Chris @ #33908: Very clever. Keep em coming. (3 years, 10 months ago)

elliot @ #7543: well done. its really very good. you must be very proud. you are a king of puzzgrid setters, lord of all you write. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Trillium @ #38199: One of my favorites. (3 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #38305: This is an outrage! (I'm not being rude - Mighty Boosh joke) (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38330: Two Timothys needs fixing. otherwise... fair enough (3 years, 10 months ago)

Martin @ #38338: Poor quality (3 years, 10 months ago)

McLeod @ #38330: The double clues just add to the puzzle, they're not a problem. Unless you're lucky, I think you'd have to solve two lines in your head so you'd have enough moves to resolve the other two? And yet you can see the categories so easily! Ty DW (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38030: Names of Atlantic tropical cyclones that haven't been retired as of 2020? Um, excuse me?! What kind of crap is that? OC wall categories are supposed to be things where you say, "Oh, of course they are! I knew that!" Or at least you chastise yourself for not having known it. Nobody, bleeding nobody, not even anyone at the National Weather Service, walks around with the list of unretired hurricane names in their head. Get outta here with that nonsense! If the only way you can possibly know it is that you have to look it up somewhere, it's not an OC wall category. A valid category would have been famously destructive hurricanes: Katrina, Sandy, Hugo, Andrew. (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38046: OK, types of mustard, I see that. But all four terms are also applicable to other foods. All four are types of bread. And all four can describe rice, though honey rice is a dish and not a type. (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38163: Very nice! (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38262: Haha, I win! English majors of the world, unite! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Emma @ #38305: It might be best to allow 'snakes' as an answer for the first one. I did think of typing in Kill Bill but wasn't sure if they were all the codenames! They are still all types of snake. A fun grid! (3 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #38292: This really well done thanks (3 years, 10 months ago)

David Wood @ #38330: Stranger things have happened. If it was that simple, it must have worked for you. (I wasn’t expecting it to have been allowed at all to be honest! (3 years, 10 months ago)

LUKE @ #38330: Definitely can't be having two of the same clue, mate. Maybe have a look at how some others work. Also quite simple. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #38316: Almost wouldn't accept rubbish. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Kirk Bevins @ #38326: Excellent grid and pleased to get 10/10! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38284: Clever herrings but not sure what the titanium group added (3 years, 10 months ago)

ViolinChick @ #38271: I spent forever trying to figure out what "governness" with two Ns could possibly be. :( (3 years, 10 months ago)

Glooey @ #38292: Ouch 0/10! Good grid though be fair (3 years, 10 months ago)

popperaccio @ #38293: Yeah, if you're on the naughty list you get a piece of coal on your stocking (3 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #38262: I like the concept, and it was fun to do the trivia of identifying each entry. Sorting out the groups is hopeless, though, because these categories are quite fuzzy. CS can easily swap with JK or JRR, for instance. (3 years, 10 months ago)

E Musk @ #38293: Played this while eating a mince pie with brandy butter. #fitting (3 years, 10 months ago)

Brian @ #38279: Nice one. Bit tricky (3 years, 10 months ago)

Brian @ #38293: Things you might be given for Christmas - COAL? (3 years, 10 months ago)

James @ #38282: I don't think the Grinch in a santa suit counts as playing 'Santa' - therefore I'd argue that Jim Carrey hasn't ever played Santa. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Alan Lisle @ #29031: good one (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38171: Yes, yes, yes! Love it! (3 years, 10 months ago)

JayDee @ #38272: Really limited and obscure so absolutely no fun to play. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Maartje @ #38258: Oh come on . Ranks not allowed got to be army ranks? Synonym not good enough it's got to be synonym for one of the words In The grid? I'd call you a pedant but I'm sure you'd insist that pedant doesn't have quite the right connotations (3 years, 10 months ago)

Brian Snowdon @ #38263: Good one! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Annie @ #36809: Didn't complete it, but still enjoyed it. Thank you. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Owain @ #38244: Test (3 years, 10 months ago)

David @ #38216: Nice grid, thanks. Was particularly delighted that 'stripper names' scored a point. (3 years, 10 months ago)

June @ #38074: I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but colors is a kinda cop out category. It would have been better if it were something more specific. (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38198: If they were famous *for* wearing red, that would be another thing. (3 years, 10 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #38198: "They all wore red" is a meager connection, unworthy of an OC wall. Other connections are fine. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Arthur @ #30596: Not if you have never read the books or seen the films - only connection I didn't get! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Emma @ #38205: Good grid - especially liked the social media one. I think though that murder, colony etc. are known as collective nouns not plural nouns. You wouldn't say 'There were lots of army in the pond', you would say 'There were lots of frogs in the pond'. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Christobal @ #38228: Good grid. Quite easy. I would have put a red herring in for the spice girls. Also, there were only 4 "names" so they were obviously a group too. (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38226: Excellent! Ty (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dries @ #37861: A real juicer of a grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #38192: Enjoyed this - while agreeing with Mr Picky. (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38202: Excellent grid Juul! More please! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #38184: I liked that I got the items line. Keep up the good work. (3 years, 10 months ago)

TR6 @ #38202: nice! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #38192: The capital letters are unnecessary and distracting. If you have them, at least make it on the words that should have capitals! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #38192: The Cork group is too much of a stereotype. It leaves a bad feeling. (3 years, 10 months ago)

McLeod @ #38202: By heck, that were tough! ty:) (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #38192: Excellent grid! The knee group made me laugh!! S, the mix of capitals and lower case was a bit of a give away - maybe fix that? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #37890: Very nice (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38203: Variation on the theme from my last one "-) (3 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #38199: great one! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Austin @ #37890: This is one made me laugh after, so simple, but yet tricky. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Austin @ #37519: This was difficult, Gen is not a formal word, which made that row difficult. And the cook one was a little scattered with the explanation. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ghost @ #38185: Nice one! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Otter Otter and Nonsense @ #38188: Nice red herrings, good fun. Demo group should accept crat as well as cracy. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Raver @ #38189: Nice combination of rounds. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mrs Raver @ #38190: Very hard. Did not spot that the names were also verbs. Got the Chelsea link, but a bit late. Didn't spot the A, B, C, D (3 years, 10 months ago)

Evening Run with Ro @ #38188: Difficult quiz! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Alien DNA @ #38140: Always happy to see football in the grid, but agree with SB about other potential answers. For me the Liver bird badge also complicated things even when I got close. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Evening Run with Ro @ #38159: What is a pear tree drink? (3 years, 10 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #38168: Great grid but I missed the bust line. Thanks (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #38154: Your cuppa group explanation contains 'or'. It is two different (even though similar) things mixed together. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Evening Run with Ro @ #38172: Aden is NOT a capital city, Sana'a is the capital of Yemen. Work this in to word. Answers on a postcard please (3 years, 10 months ago)

Courtney @ #38154: Nice grid! Would just suggest adding "hot drinks" or similar as an key word for the cuppa/joe/java/brew group. (3 years, 10 months ago)

silent bob @ #38140: I liked the first two categories, but the problem with having 8 football clubs is there are loads of different ways you could group those accurately that weren't the answer you were looking for. E.G. Four of the clubs are Premier league and four are lower league, but this wasn't the answer. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Edie @ #38084: Nice balanced grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #38129: Thanks for the idea Ed, but the rest of the grid would not work this is simply a red herring, something that most of these grids include. (3 years, 10 months ago)

TF @ #38078: Colours ! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #38090: thanks for setting. if there were red herrings here I was too dumb to see them, not knowing the Curtis group, though one could reasonably solve the grid just by guessing what was a surname (3 years, 10 months ago)

GavinJ @ #38090: Great grid. I did not get the Sumner group but, in an odd twist all of the answers in that group are streets in Swindon, three of them within about half a mile of each other. All of them are Victorian streets so can't have anything to do with the real, less parochial, answer. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Arthur @ #38074: May I suggest allowing 'colours' as well as 'colors' for non-Americans? ;) (3 years, 10 months ago)

Arthur @ #38070: I put 'nut' for the green group but it said it was incorrect. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #38082: Good quiz but I would probably grade it as easy, rather than medium. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38086: As far as I can tell "black cat" is the only thing here that isn't a species designation and should be changed. If you want a herring, there's such a thing as a blackjacket! (3 years, 10 months ago)

MGMGaming @ #38081: Sorry for the mistake guys! very silly error from me and I hope it didn't ruin the experience! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Brian @ #38044: I agree. Got the groups in 1 minute. All my categories were "wrong". (3 years, 10 months ago)

elpollodiablo @ #38056: In this context, it should be spelt "meter" - even in UK English (3 years, 10 months ago)

Gareth @ #38047: The words 'but and 'and are conjunctions, which orthodox grammar convention states should never be used to start a sentence. Otherwise you could pick any random words in the English language and claim them to be 'sentence starters' (3 years, 10 months ago)

Clockwork @ #38033: Loved it (3 years, 10 months ago)

Otter Otter and Nonsense @ #2959: I think the "star" group could also have the connection of "words that can precede board" (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38038: Tough but good! (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38043: You need to take "mixed drink" and "cocktail" as accepted answers for the first clue. And the "starts with street abbreviations" one is far too obtuse. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38025: Several answers in the dance and the music styles categories fit into both, so the grid doesn't have one unique solution. (3 years, 10 months ago)

BlakRabbit @ #37982: This one was cool! Vocab wall! (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #38044: Your answer categories are way too restrictive. For any category where the four answers are synonyms you should take "synonym" as a response. The prefixes you give apply to all kinds of measures, not just bytes. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37729: As if inscrutable British references weren't bad enough to begin with now I can't figure out what the hell half of these are supposed to be saying. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37996: I would agree that herbs aren't spices. It's a basic distinction. I would even question whether garlic's necessarily a spice (if it's just something you *can* turn into a powder, then is cheese powder a spice?) I don't see how the grid doesn't work just as well exchanging paprika, garlic and ginger for thyme, dill, tarragon, parsley, bay etc. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Tom Penney @ #30417: 👍 (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #37974: Although Dimple etc claim to be what you say they are, I would suggest that most of them are poor imitations of real ones and hardly worth a mention. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #37180: Very good example (3 years, 10 months ago)

dud @ #37992: The Game is inconsistent with other rappers. Either use only the second word or the whole name. (3 years, 10 months ago)

McLeod @ #37981: On a roll this morning Ghost. Enjoyed them,Ty. Edit Artic? (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37984: "Yellowstone" is one word, whereas everything else in that category is two. Other than that, another good wall! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Carol T @ #20401: love the Minnesota group (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37979: Totally stealing this idea for a grid of my own! (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37957: Good grid, shouldn't have so poor a rating. But demanding that I type in "homograph" seems too harsh - I got the connection but expressed it in some form like "they can be verbs or nouns." As well as guessing all the other homo-words, lol. Tough word categories as well - maybe too many for one grid? Not about to do what some people on this site do and give a bad score because *I* don't know what a Rock Island is, though. Funny how to an Only Connect fan the British slang words jump out! (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37847: "Old chestnut" or just "chestnut" isn't British at all. Thank you for your kind comments though. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #37926: 10/10 in both senses (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37899: Good grid. I would say that "zugzwang" and "standoff" are sort of ambiguous terms and it could be argued that they may be interchangeable. (3 years, 10 months ago)

DLovett @ #37820: Fun overall theme (3 years, 10 months ago)

DLovett @ #37845: Three categories around movies/musicals may be a bit much. I like it because I like movies and musicals, but John Waters and Tony Award Winners may be too similar. I love the para row. (3 years, 10 months ago)

DLovett @ #37844: "Knots" is a fun bit of trivia, but I recommend either (1) accepting something like "jobs" or "trades," or (2) changing up the category so one of them isn't a traditional "job." Highwayman's hitch? (3 years, 10 months ago)

DLovett @ #37860: Downgraded because there's not a lot of common knowledge to draw from, it all seems like very specific subjects and not very broad. All are just groups of nouns/noun phrases (almost all proper nouns). Would like to see more variety in the types of connections rather than "four rivers, four muses, four hills, four types of crocodile." Also, I typed "crocodile" and it was not accepted. I recommend fixing this. (3 years, 10 months ago)

SonJonath @ #37860: Really good. Kind of obscure - two classical categories is kind of a lot for a general audience, even one as estimable as PuzzGrid players - but that's not necessarily a bad thing, just something you should know. Really cool categories, herrings, and general sense that "all of these things could go together WTF am I doing," though. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Alan Lisle @ #37859: Really enjoyed that Thanks (3 years, 10 months ago)

James Walton @ #37800: Great grid. I like the mix of rhyme and different groupings. Well done, a good first attempt. Mr Walton (3 years, 10 months ago)

Eddie @ #37843: "Shill" maybe a bit obscure but good grid otherwise (3 years, 10 months ago)

Otter Otter and Nonsense @ #32739: Nice grid, but the red herrings weren't red enough. For example, Numbers is pretty much always going to be the odd one out for the biblical group. But otherwise nice grid, fun to play. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jonathan @ #37756: "Golden shower" lol. Really like that category actually. I think that the "words relating to finance" category is just too vague. Also a word of advice for future walls: PuzzGrid doesn't preserve the order you put your answers in when players resolve the wall. The translation category came up for me as "ours, beer, ursa, oso," which of course doesn't tell me which is Dutch, French, Spanish or Latin. Anyway, gave this a good rating, keep making more!

StevieB @ #29738: Excellent grid apart from one connection (the actor, without wanting to give too much of a spoiler) was perhaps too tenuous for most people? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jonathan @ #37510: The mother of vinegar is the expression for the slimy bacterial culture that breaks down alcohol into vinegars. Some bottles even come with the "mother" intact. Look it up if you're unfamiliar, it'll blow your mind. Idioms and nonliteral senses of terms are perfectly common in Only Connect categories. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Emily @ #37665: Nice one! :D The "Spiral Orb" part was a little tricky but I learned something new so Awesome! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Emily @ #37664: Probably just a typo on the gallbladder. People make mistakes, dude. To be honest, that "kid show" is a classic, as well as the movie. Maybe try some positive criticism, guys, or else you might scare the guy off. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Irish Annee @ #37704: Good Grid, the peak group had me flummoxed. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dlovett @ #4548: No arguments with the logic, but nearly impossible to get if you don't have the exact knowledge needed. More obscure than clever. I would have preferred at least one category that allowed me to use some logic or deduction rather than the whole puzzle requiring expertise in physics, chemistry, nutrition, European license plates, arctic seas, ornithology, and flag color schemes.

Dlovett @ #37510: I don't get why vinegar has a mother. Too broad of a category I think. I would say novella before novelette. Haystack stands out bc its a saying whereas the other ones always have needles. I wish fold had more variety in the meaning, they all mean physically folding except the poker one. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dlovett @ #37478: My comment would be that some of the Glens are spelled with two Ns and some with one. I was still able to get it. (3 years, 10 months ago)

BucketHead @ #37627: Jonathon, you cannot simultaneously complain about the specificity of the prime numbers question whilst also claiming it far too easy. I would recommend a keener attention to detail. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Martin @ #37625: Good one. I love these types of grids (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #37621: Good grid. Nice topics. Ty (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jonathan @ #37627: Bad grid. Virtually no red herrings, weird categories. Way too easy. The last category is numbers, as well as prime numbers, and there's no reason to assume undue specificity. "Millennia" is plural not singular. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jonathan @ #37590: Good but needs to be revised. I really like the categories. The first category needs clearer answers ("food" really doesn't evoke "man vs. food" the way "capcom" does "marvel vs. capcom" - as someone who doesn't watch TV I'm surprised I even know what Man vs. Food is, whereas I've known people who don't play games who know about Marvel). The beer category is too amorphous - you have a well-known game, party slang, a quantity and a way of drinking in one cat. More specific beer party game clues (with more forgiving answers) would be more in the spirit of the game, I think. "Shot" is not an accepted answer for "basketball shots." Plus your game would appeal to more people if you changed "jelly" and "granny" to kinds of shots everyone would have heard of, though that's your preference. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Twilson94 @ #37624: @Buckethead, Not at all, accidentally included a plural for the accepted answers. Give yourself the point! (3 years, 10 months ago)

BucketHead @ #37624: I put 'ceo' as my answer for the tech CEO question and it didn't register as correct, was this intentional? Other than that, a great wall! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #519: I disagree with "aluminum" - "aluminium" is arguably a different word, not a different pronunciation. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Shush @ #37548: I think that an amputated dustbin on the M1 that had a bucket of stale Jaffa cakes and soggy Weetabix thrown at it could jump further than a dyslexic turnip with 4 eyelashes can but I don't really know as I am only a lamppost that grates cheese every Monday evening for £3.99 plus VAT for Steven Jobs and his team at PayPal because my kids are attending a school that encourage bullying a daffodil because porcupines are useless and should be curb-stomped by a liquid water bottle and will get a carton of apple juice and mouldy dandruff as payment from my uncle called Michael Presley the King of Hip Hop and he actually won a game of Hopscotch against an amputated war veteran because he was in a wheelchair that had a turbo washing machine attached that can wash 4 pillows an hour. Whilst on the way to Tescos this morning I met a man wearing curtains and tablecloths and called himself the invisible cloak from Harry Potter but unfortunately I mistook him for a baby and dropkicked him into an ice cream van but at least he wont be hungry because it turns out that the night bedfore he ate an airoplane with a side of spinach because his wife lest him for a talking fridge and now he is unemployed with no friends but I gave him my legal documents for my kidney transplant so when he dies he can at least feel like someone cared for him even though his parents gave him 2 jumpers to wear every night so the belt didn't hurt.

Robert @ #37561: That was a fun wall, and some good groups there. May I suggest that you accept metals for the elements group? (I did double-check that antimony was indeed a metal) Also, all of the abbreviations used in 'Among Us' predate the game by at least a few years. I assume that the Among Us part is not needed for the point, but my guess of 'text talk' was rejected. I don't know if that's an actual name for them or just what I refer to them as.

HippyHoppy @ #37336: Nice grid. Good topics (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #37335: Nice grid. Good to see that either WOMAN or MAN accepted for that group. Snork is a new one on me. Learning new things every day! Ty (3 years, 10 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #37329: Nice grid. Well done Mark. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Horatio @ #37323: Really good fun to have such a different puzzle, and must have taken ages, so thanks. Never would have got the connection for The Chase line! (3 years, 10 months ago)

tch @ #37332: I liked that one. I think J and D could be swapped though. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Jan @ #98: You need to allow tonic solfa for the note on a scale in this case. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Emily @ #37284: Only got one catagory and two connections,good little game though. (3 years, 10 months ago)

DaveH @ #37311: The South African springhare (Pedetes capensis), or springhaas in Afrikaans, is not actually a hare. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Savage @ #37311: Hare is not a rodent (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hebe @ #37316: This is a fun one! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ann&Rory @ #37284: I scored 0 for three of the groups even though they were right. Because I didn't use the word "characters", just the rest of the answer, it was marked incorrect. I also left out the word "last words of each line" for that group and it was marked wrong even though I named the right rhyme. Maybe consider editing those two answers. It was a great grid and really enjoyed it. (3 years, 10 months ago)

MG @ #37306: Waste of time (3 years, 10 months ago)

old grump @ #24804: so "stitch" doesnt count ?!?!? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Joan @ #37241: great grid, could be more inclusive with the connections. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1149: The names can't be shortened, they are the shortened forms; agree with Cazza re container AND you can put almost anything in them, not just food and liquid; & Worchester. At least the 'Top' one was OK. :) Not really a 'medium' grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

Joan @ #37237: Nice one, but I wouldn't call filo a pastry... more like something that is used in pastries? (3 years, 10 months ago)

Joan @ #37084: I loved it, but notice that the britpop bands are also one word bands, is it on purpose to confuse or is it a legitimate connection that you missed? (3 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #37197: @ bloss - they always existed yet most dictionaries I had checked referred separately to a scarier fire-dweller of folklore legend. Same creature, different narrative - I suspect they didn’t fully understand amphibians in those days lol. It’s murky, I admit. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dries @ #37172: Great grid! keep it up! Didn't know the films but my grandchildren helped!! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Kb @ #37210: More explanation needed, esp on charts group. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dries @ #37190: Great grid, good level of difficulty. The categories could have been worded differently. For example: The category for "kilo", we gave "units", which is equally correct. (3 years, 10 months ago)

artie @ #37179: "subjects" should in my opinion be a fair equivalent of "classes" at school, but... it did say it was an american quiz so i should probably have heeded the warning and used the word classes haha (3 years, 10 months ago)

Freddgar @ #37197: Very good grid Resolved the wall Got all but the one row Thanks for posting (3 years, 10 months ago)

Sarah @ #37183: Fun (3 years, 10 months ago)

Annee @ #37119: @ Ade .."Why oh why must people keep using such demeaning words for women" Hmmmm, ever hear of one of these "a long-handled gardening tool with a thin metal blade, used mainly for weeding." You just assumed that he was being derogatory. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Christobal @ #37132: Hmm.... I'm not sure about counting numbers (3 years, 10 months ago)

VegasUK @ #37112: I guess it was easy if you know Harry Potter... I don't. I did figure there was one HP connection (but not 4), couldn't get it though Nice grid but impossible for non fans (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ostrich @ #37132: Excellent! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ostrich @ #37149: Gratuitous vulgarity. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Malcolm @ #1111: UK grid but US Cable channels - How would we know if not regular visitors there? This is exactly why I select UK grids (3 years, 10 months ago)

popperaccio @ #37126: Nice grid! Missed a couple but kicking myself. (3 years, 10 months ago)

idel101 @ #37124: Sorry to be picky but I wouldn't say buttons are clothes. You find them on clothes but they aren't clothes in themselves. And what's the deal with the cat group? Don't get the link at all !?! (3 years, 10 months ago)

popperaccio @ #37123: Fantastic grid. Good mix of clue styles. Testing but not impossible :-) ty (3 years, 10 months ago)

Joe @ #37102: Fun grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

Joan @ #37110: I am deeply surpsized by my achievments in this grid. It's quite hard, but it becomes easy once you use your intuition. My only problem with this grid is that the "special" letters it didn't accept "letters" and the measurements didn't accept "measuring". TL;DR: the grid should include more names for the connections. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #26200: Excellent, clever and amusing .. thanks (3 years, 10 months ago)

Joe @ #37025: Nice balanced grid (3 years, 10 months ago)

13thSunday @ #37112: Really enjoyed this - although the 'Surnames of Hogwarts Teachers' category seems a bit weak compared to the others (especially since two of them aren't teachers...) (3 years, 10 months ago)

Dorian @ #37110: In the measurements, the answer "units" should be included (at least in my mind). (3 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #37058: Good grid. Thank you. Tuner sounds like tuna to me!! (3 years, 10 months ago)

Herbaltablet @ #36949: Slight spelling mistake (or maybe it's the result of a character limit?): it should be "lapsang souchong", with a G at the end of both words. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Will S @ #37081: Nice fairly easy grid. Could do with a few more options to match the answers to the Triangle et al group (I was right but didn't manage to match the supplied wording, hey ho!). (3 years, 10 months ago)

Will S @ #37085: Nice grid, very easy but well thought out with red herring(s). (3 years, 10 months ago)

Carol T @ #37054: Got all the groups, but the links were oddly specific (3 years, 10 months ago)

Will S @ #37082: Nice, when I saw all numbers I thought it would be harder than it was, 7/10 not bad, spotted the link for the group with 15, but forgot the terminology... (3 years, 10 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #37084: Sorry - I think the file type is wrong... I'm fixing it. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Will S @ #37074: Not sure if that was medium, or hard. Only 3/10, should have got more. Didn't spot the Bull et al group at all and have no knowledge to complete the Lion et al group... (3 years, 10 months ago)

Will S @ #37058: Very good grid, nice red herrings. Almost didn't spot the 'Place' et al group link. (3 years, 10 months ago)

nordloc @ #37027: Homophone clues are always a bit accent dependent. This one works pretty much perfectly in my accent and it's not far off in most British accents. I felt it should be gettable, even if you're from Bolton. (3 years, 10 months ago)

Martin @ #37060: Good one although it didnt accept card as an answer. Also not sure there is a hidden colour in Coraline. Apart from that great (3 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Bumflapz @ #27567: GREAT BLOODY BUMFLAPS. THIS MADE MY BUMFLAPS GO ROOTY-TOOTY. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lawner @ #37027: That group doesn't work, for obvious reasons. Vault? Looks? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Arthur @ #30437: NBA and tennis were hard, but just because i don't know jack about sports. great grid though! (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #37028: Nice grid. Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Arthur @ #37027: oh I REALLY liked the hurts group. I didn't get it because I'm dense and didn't think about it for long enough, but it's a clever idea. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #37027: I didnt really like the hurts group. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #37009: Very good grid, a lot of red herrings, really well thought out. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #37031: Maybe try using groups that more people will know, not just your friends. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Arthur @ #37007: Awesome grid! The USSR one is tough to think of after you've sorted them based on being locations :D (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #37030: Good, very easy grid. I should have got 10/10, except that I answered in plural for the Carrots etc group link so it marked me down. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #6288: Really odd thta there is no language code to folloe (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christo @ #37009: Nice, enjoyed this one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ann&Rory @ #30982: Nice grid, not too taxing (3 years, 11 months ago)

shalom ER @ #37011: I have to be honest only people who are my friends and know me well would get this so sory strangers. (3 years, 11 months ago)

popperaccio @ #36982: Fair dos, this was magnificent. Managed to squeeze a ten (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #37008: Really good grid. I effectively got 10/10 - just used different words for the Pastrami et al group. Good red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #37013: I should have done better on that! Nice grid, I'd never have got the connection for Labyrinth etc. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jeannie @ #37004: Just Googled 'Chaps Eye'. Wish I hadn't now!! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dangerous Dave @ #37025: Everyone chipped in (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jeannie @ #37007: Good grid, but a suggestion- allow US Presidents wives as well as first ladies! (3 years, 11 months ago)

ej @ #37006: The cricket category could actually apply to several different sports! (3 years, 11 months ago)

JOMARRAELEEREDDWIGHT @ #37009: goodjob (3 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #21449: Switching deck and folding works as both are chairs and both are card terms, so the solution is not unique. (3 years, 11 months ago)

abalqa @ #37022: pendulum? (3 years, 11 months ago)

simon @ #36991: so many overlaps - very good :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

DivaM @ #37021: Yes very difficult, but clever, nice twist on the usual connections (3 years, 11 months ago)

simon @ #37021: i had 7 groups of 2 and resolved none until time was up. with grid resolved, the rest was more straightforward. give a hint on the 'opposites' concept in the setter's name, maybe? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #36985: Good grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #37021: Not too sure this works, just testing really. Now I've played it I realise its EXTREMELY difficult. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #9374: Clever but didn’t enjoy hidden relatives (3 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #36991: As is usually the way when you get four connections of the same type (words that precede specific words) there is more than one solution to this grid, so it doesn't work. You can place Waist in the 'Lock' (waist lock = wrestling move) you could also put Hair in that group. and the swap either of them with HEAD, DEAD or GRID (even INTER!!) which would all fit into the 'Line' group. Meaning there are loads of possible solutions to this grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #37009: Very well constructed (3 years, 11 months ago)

DivaM @ #37011: v difficult, had to wait for the time to run out to see the answers, but I was no wiser after I'd seen them, sorry! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Caz @ #36983: I don't remember Eastern on the Maze, but maybe it's just me ;) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Annee @ #37005: Yep but it's ***** (A)way (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36995: Nice idea. Maybe needed more potential answers for the OXO et al group? I'm sure I was right technically! Only hear of two of the people in the Victoria group, whic didn't healp me... 2/10 - poor showing for me, Should have got at leatst 4. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36979: Nice concept. Couldn't see the answers (3/10...). Thought 'Up' was a little obtuse as different pronunciation? (3 years, 11 months ago)

JayDee @ #19391: Would help if you spelled one of your key clues correctly. (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36982: amazing! Like Freddgar, I got the links but couldn't solve the wall. (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36982: Thank you! It is a little bit of a work up but it's a fun thing to do - even better when people enjoy them (even if they don't solve them). Some of the clues are a LITTLE tenous so well done if you do get them! (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36982: As Freddgar. Great grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36986: Lovely grid! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will Shepherd @ #36949: Nice grid, challenging without being too difficult or to much specialist knowledge. Good red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36986: Got everything but the Leeds row, fooled me with that one Made me smile Good one Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36982: I couldn't solve the wall, but got all the links Must have took you some effort to make this one Great work, well done Thanks for posting, more please 👍 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #36876: Impossible to work these out in time. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom Dixon @ #36946: Nice grid, typo on 'frakfurter' though I think? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #86: Outdated now that hieroglyphs are used in OC. Also these puzzles comprising entirely symbols are tiresome - would be much more fun if blended with word categories, with at least one category containing both symbols and words. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #85: WTF is 'Christmas Jones'? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #83: Exceptionally obscure. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Annee @ #30437: Never heard the jack being used as a word for steal. Must be an American thing (3 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #36943: good grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36945: Nice grid, lovely topics, BUT you really should accept more answers. I tried "Harry Potter characters", "bed types", "Tom" but didn't get any points. (Boo hoo, I missed the starburst!) (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36946: Nice grid. Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pam @ #36920: Nice grid, lucky guess for islands.. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pam @ #36939: Never heard of those films, nor two of the horses. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pam @ #33547: Frustrating! Got two groups and reasons. Knew to remove the B but didn’t know they were films. Good though.. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36937: Lovely grid! Fun, topical, topics. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BobDabUilder @ #21347: I feel like this grid has a bit too much overlap, it requires too much trial and error (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36939: Very nice grid. Good topics. Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36943: Good grid. Nice topics. Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

BobDabUilder @ #30437: Really good one! I totally missed the NBA teams even though I live in America, but it's a really good idea and knowing sports teams is pretty equivalent to tennis terms. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36937: Nice and easy Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Trillium @ #36834: Caught on right away. Must have been luck! (3 years, 11 months ago)

c @ #36915: political waste of space and time..... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #36819: Just got the Sol group as I was entering answers. Good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #79: Never heard of 'take fire' and the sword group requires a ridiculously specific piece of knowledge. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #73: Confusing that some items are not capitalised that should be, makes you assume that they are not proper nouns but something else (such as anagrams). (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36915: Interesting to see what happens next. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36693: theme (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #69: Of the Paris group, Paris is the only one I've heard of! But otherwise a good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #66: Really enjoyed this one, possibly the best I've seen so far (3 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #36761: Brilliant! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #65: All too similar categories - all film and TV. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #63: Enjoyed this. Got the Bristol group quickly. Eventually spotted the Norwich and Carlisle groups, but couldn't get the connection for the fourth group. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #62: Perhaps too many overlaps, and I'd dispute that Eden falls into the category given, but otherwise a good one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #21743: Didn’t accept ‘dying’ as a connection for the last group (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #61: I was born in 1973 and still had absolutely no clue whatsoever. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #60: Excellent grid - the red herring group was especially annoying! Good work! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #59: Would it be fair to say that the 'bells' mentioned in 'Oranges and Lemons' are also 'churches'? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #58: Far too oriented to one subject. If movies isn't your thing, you don't stand a chance of getting any of the groups or any of the connections. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #57: I'm obviously a bit socially limited, having not heard of the phrases 'public bar' or 'wine basket', but this is a good grid nonetheless. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #55: Nice, enjoyed this one (3 years, 11 months ago)

gg @ #36899: 36885 just did clue/do. Comes up SO often. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #36848: Really liked the meta-connection. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #36855: Yes, bloss, I agree but don't give away the connection in your comment. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #36855: Unfair category with bounce etc. Not eough people will know of this connection. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #36855: Dynamite does not (properly) fit the category. 'Roman' does. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Bruno @ #36895: Well done and fun. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Poohbear @ #36892: Didn’t accept suit for the boiler / birthday group :( (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #5937: Really good grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36885: Please, please no more cluedo. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36865: Too similar to another recent one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #4750: Enjoyed this grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #2526: Great grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36852: ... but they can probably spell woolly and citrus? (3 years, 11 months ago)

sienna @ #16564: this is a relay fun game (3 years, 11 months ago)

Toferino @ #36860: Ipswich Town nickname is actually the Tractor Boys, but your grid is still valid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #36876: Nice grid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lawner @ #36876: Sia is very useful :) A great quiz. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #36880: The Newton is the unit of force, though 'weight' is considered a force (mass x acceleration due to gravity) (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36876: @Sean - yes, I thought I had put that in, must have missed it! I'll add it in now. Thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

popperaccio @ #36847: Gg (3 years, 11 months ago)

Namby Pamby @ #36883: But I take your point. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Namby Pamby @ #36883: But I take your point. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Namby Pamby @ #36883: The clues were all synonyms of one another. Hence. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36874: Enjoyable grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #36876: The last clue should allow USSR as well as Soviet. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ghost @ #36885: I agree with sean, changing "Colonel" to "Mustard" would make more sense in this case. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #36883: The answer should not state synonyms but rather the actual link between the clues. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #36885: It makes no sense to have Colonel as a response to the Cluedo clue as all the rest follow the pattern of last word. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Kevin Rayment @ #36850: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #52: Wasn't impressed by this one - very specialist knowledge of a particular TV show needed and also products not sold on my continent. (3 years, 11 months ago)

ConfusedOne @ #36854: Excellent! Could consider adding some extra accepted terms to November to be a little more generous. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #36868: Apologies, I didn't realise 'car' and 'home' could swap groups. I didn't know there was a Home Park until after I had finished the grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Timmon @ #36852: Excellent clues for a quiz, but No red herrings for a grid. (not that I could see) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lethal Squid @ #4582: Good grid! For everyone saying that brass instruments aren’t woodwind... you’re right, but the answers specify “wind” which encompasses both woodwind and brass (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lethal Squid @ #36841: Hi Annee, thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately, “river” does not rhyme with “silver”, they are assonant (share vowel sounds) but do not rhyme. River would have to have an l in it in order to rhyme. (3 years, 11 months ago)

PAIGE FITZPATRICK @ #36834: It was hard but fun ! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #47: Love this one, but 'Notes' should definitely be allowed. (3 years, 11 months ago)

craig @ #10711: that was fun got all of em (3 years, 11 months ago)

Peter Ross @ #583: Good (3 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #36852: Entertaining but a lot of cross overs!! ( Picky bit : cricket whites in answer, Beatles on grid. And I think mis-spelling of citrus) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #36860: Enjoyable grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Clockwork @ #36860: Loved it ta (3 years, 11 months ago)

Clockwork @ #36831: Very Good Thank you (3 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #36852: I enjoyed it. The pokemon clue was a little irritating though since it fits into three of the four categories. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Clockwork @ #36857: Waste of time (3 years, 11 months ago)

maybethistime @ #36847: Mustang is a Model. Pontiac, Chevrolet and Buick are car manufacturers. (3 years, 11 months ago)

maybethistime @ #36851: I like the thinking behind this but 2 mins is pushing it into impossible territory (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36830: Well designed grid, some red herrings, took a little while to figure out some, but 10/10 eventually! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lethal Squid @ #36851: I really like the idea behind this one, unfortunately there are loads that can be swapped around, making it nearly impossible. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #36848: It was worth the wait (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #36843: Thanks for setting. This managed to briefly look much more difficult than it actually was, which I guess is the trick. (3 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #36784: This one was great! (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36831: Excellent grid with good crossovers (3 years, 11 months ago)

Annee @ #36841: River rhymes with silver (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #36674: The Asia group was clever, the Hiatus group i knew but i got the wording wrong, but it was still a clever grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #36828: only 5/10 but i liked it, very fun (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36832: Agreed about the overused groups. It is widespread. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36842: All easy groups (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lawner @ #36842: Read group good; the Gloop group not so much. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36819: I also missed the sol group. A good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36830: Nice simple grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36832: Nice easy grid, although I didn't get the Australian link! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christobal @ #36574: Very good! Got it completed with seconds to spare! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #36832: Enjoyed this, thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #36613: I can't believe I didn't get the Buffy references (3 years, 11 months ago)

Terry @ #30982: @freddgar I've tried jackfruit and it's actually quite nice. Sweet and crunchy. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36830: Bit too easy but hey who doesn't like 10/10 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36831: Don't like vehicles hidden in words especially when one is trike (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36832: Calm down Horatio! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #44: Really enjoyed this one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lawner @ #36815: Shakin', please. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36826: Nice grid. Two groups I found easily, one I should have got, one I could see two, but never heard of the other two... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Doctor Whom @ #36802: Thanks Chris. I’ve corrected it though that does mess up a red herring. :-( (3 years, 11 months ago)

Olly Cross @ #6833: I used the term “relative” for the hidden words clue and it said I was incorrect. May be worth adding? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #36802: Nice grid - slightly picky but the Palace is actually Alexandra, not Alexander (3 years, 11 months ago)

Anisha @ #36408: Struggled a bit with this grid. Can you make it easier next time? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Laurie @ #36408: Please make more grids, I would love to play these at my cheese and port nights. (3 years, 11 months ago)

EOS @ #36833: How is an egg 'dairy food'?!! They have some strange cows where you come from... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36832: Martin is nuts, I know this is posted as easy, but it lacked any originality. Can we all please stop using Cluedo to make lines, it has been done to absolute death. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36830: Very simple, and no crossovers, so also very quick. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #36830: Very good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #36798: agree 2 groups are highly niche (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pranab Basu @ #36769: Tanumay Datta is on fire... (3 years, 11 months ago)

popperaccio @ #36810: Nice grid. Got the groups but couldn't link a couple of them. :-) (3 years, 11 months ago)

popperaccio @ #36740: Sorry emzy. Thanks for the heads up. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #36832: Excellent (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #29264: Good puzzle let down by some poor choices of pictures. That's not a bulldog clip, that's a foldback clip. Also that pattern is most commonly called houndstooth, I've never heard it called "dogtooth" (3 years, 11 months ago)

eurydice @ #10577: Excellent. Liked it. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rty @ #36796: The SPL changed to the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) in 2013. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36825: I found that very difficult (well 0/10 speaks volumes!), should have spotted one of the connections though (Champagne group), I get one of the others (water etc), but would never have guessed it and the other two were way outside my knowledge! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Spike @ #36811: I’d question whether Haiti fitted the criteria you say (3 years, 11 months ago)

Hannah C @ #36408: Great grid. Livened up my life in Scotland. Please make more! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Spike @ #36826: Solid grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #36819: Nice! Couldn't see the "Sol" group annoyingly, so 7/10, but definitely foxed me. (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36784: love a theme! (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36783: I get the Cluedo criticism, but I like how it overlapped with the Hitchcock group. (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36791: good grid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

huge nutsack @ #36674: nice :( (3 years, 11 months ago)

huge nutsack @ #36738: my scrotum yearns (3 years, 11 months ago)

huge nutsack @ #36811: id rather have hot oil dripped on my iconic huge nutsack than play this grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

CJ @ #29074: For the beer one, it should be Tennent not Tennant. That mistake threw me off completely (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36670: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36681: The Mia connection was tough! Good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jay @ #36812: fun (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36809: Good grid. I didn't spot the s connection (3 years, 11 months ago)

Danny @ #5509: best grid on this website (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ben Morgan @ #36789: Too hard mate!! (3 years, 11 months ago)

FFCFC @ #36761: One of the band names is wrong (3 years, 11 months ago)

emzy @ #36740: You misspelled "crotchet" as "crochet" which was very misleading. (3 years, 11 months ago)

ostrich @ #36798: 2 groups are highly niche (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jane @ #7684: I think it should be "homophones" not "homophobes", at least, I'd hope so :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #36792: Never heard of the musical group but fluked it anyway (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #36740: Really enjoyable, good grid. It made me smile. Thanks pop! (3 years, 11 months ago)

kikidee @ #36790: This is my first grid, so thanks for any feedback! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36792: Really good grid, lots of red herrings! The musical group really threw me. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Andrew @ #36783: Good grid, but cluedo has been done a lot (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36762: Nice grid, a good challenge. A seasonal theme! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36775: Really kicking myself for not spotting groups here! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ted @ #36794: You ruined it with the Scrabble group! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #36794: The scrabble group is a little obscure!! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Fred @ #36793: Illusions group is, er, rather niche (3 years, 11 months ago)

FFCFC @ #10577: (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36784: Very easy grid, I think the Soul clue is wrong, usually it's Blues Brother Soul Sister (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36783: Nice enough grid, but the candlestick line has been done to death, which spoiled it a bit. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36783: Nice grid, reasonably challenging, definitely some educated guesswork in there for me! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36784: Nice grid concept. I just kept getting mixed up between groups... (3 years, 11 months ago)

simon @ #36761: music, red herrings and tricky groups - proper job! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will S @ #36774: Nice grid, some good red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #36768: Very fun. Thumbs from me. (3 years, 11 months ago)

M @ #36775: Excellent, thank you (3 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #36774: good one (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #36751: Rose can be swapped for Daisy (or Poppy). So this is not a valid grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #36754: Good, easy fun (have seen these groups before but there's no way around that!). "Ants" vs. "Ant" means there's a unique solution so well done for removing it, but it's a bit awkward: I would have kept it and, say, swapped "Super" for "Rat". (3 years, 11 months ago)

zak @ #36779: verry good game don like the sound tho (3 years, 11 months ago)

kpnuts @ #36724: Nice grid let down by not accepting the correct link words. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36775: Great fun! Ty BTW Can anyone tell me why this game is scored in base 8? Te he he! (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36761: Thank you @bloss. They are a bit of a work up but I love doing them! (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36761: So brilliant and so much work - thank you! Loved how we got to fill in our answers in order to solve. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #36776: terrible lol....surnames of people??? things exporterd from Africa....wood???? awful waste of my time (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #27979: Enjoyed this grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #35817: Good quality grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

poopy @ #15242: this niga eatin beanZ (3 years, 11 months ago)

Andrew @ #15174: Too many answers that could be either North or South, giving far too many permutations. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36774: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

FK @ #36771: Medicine ball isn't really a new word. (3 years, 11 months ago)

popperaccio @ #36740: Thanks :-) I tried to put a little extra hint towards Queen by having fandango in there. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36754: I liked the crossovers in this (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36758: A nice easy grid, thanks (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #36768: I didn't manage to get all the connections in time but a good grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #31536: A hard grid but fun to do (3 years, 11 months ago)

BettyBoop @ #31793: A good grid with well thought out crossovers. Thanks for posting. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Billy Bumflapz @ #26997: Great bumflapz. This made my bumflapz go TOOOOOOOT. (3 years, 11 months ago)

David @ #36752: Excuse me, I'm just off for a game of tennisball. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Glooey @ #36740: Couldn't get that Queen one - nice clue. Looks easy once you see the answer. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36744: Very good, enjoyed the nail row 😁 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36344: Very good, nice and easy 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Super brad @ #36749: NICE (3 years, 11 months ago)

Annie b @ #36749: Mentioned cricket I'm the last. Should have counted! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pranab Basu @ #35659: Difficult to solve within 3. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mosher @ #36181: (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pranab Basu @ #36749: Dr. Tanumay Datta has the potential to become a world class connect quiz-master in future. (3 years, 11 months ago)

bbsgirl @ #36724: Poor. Doesn't accept street, Tom, or ships as answers even though those are the correct. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36738: Didn't care for this! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #36741: Good grid, ty. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #36730: Conflict and contrast aren't really heteronyms, all their meanings are similar. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #36741: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #36746: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jimbo @ #36742: didnt except sauce ????? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Caz @ #36728: Very enjoyable, thank you. (3 years, 11 months ago)

JR @ #36720: too many prefix/suffix ones (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #14705: Clever but agree with Chris about verbs (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36728: Lovely grid! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36729: Loved this grid! Great topics! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36733: Good fun grid! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36739: Excellent grid! The burn group was totally beyond me - but hey! you learn something every day! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

BetyBoop @ #36272: Enjoyed this one (3 years, 11 months ago)

BetyBoop @ #7790: Really enjoyed this (3 years, 11 months ago)

BetyBoop @ #15274: Enjoyed this easy grid, thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

BetyBoop @ #36727: Nice grid but duos, Martin, Phil and dictionaries didn't register as correct answers (3 years, 11 months ago)

ostrich @ #36713: Good idea, hasn't been visited for a few months. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Sean @ #36542: This is awesome! I wish you made more of these ;) that Terron one was really tricky (3 years, 11 months ago)

FK @ #36727: I fell into the same trap as Pip (3 years, 11 months ago)

Pip @ #36727: “Dictionaries” and “Martin” didn’t register as correct answers. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lemmings @ #39: @Rick, Why are you adjusting the settings to include grids with 1-star quality and then playing them? (3 years, 11 months ago)

ViolinChick @ #27716: Love the Toyota group! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lin @ #36713: One question shootout, not shoutout! :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

KHfailure @ #36344: I know the system isn't perfect, but when you literally write exactly what is in description for the group and get it "wrong" it's annoying. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Alec @ #10711: Excellent puzzle (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #41: All the answers in the cars group are also answers for the NATO alphabet group. Too many red herrings for this to be enjoyable! (3 years, 11 months ago)

VegasUK @ #36687: I liked this one, it was different. A challenge but not impossible in the time limit (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #40: Incredibly difficult and specialised but good use of red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #39: How do we get this crud taken down? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #38: I like this one! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #37: One of the best grids I've yet attempted. Very nicely done. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Chloerad @ #36711: Great grid 👌🏻 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #36706: Would not accept army commander's. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lawner @ #36700: Got 10, luckily. Really like the blue group. (3 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #36700: Very nice. Tricky but enjoyable. (3 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #36687: @ Brian - Yeah, this is more a new format experiment. Not the greatest but different at the very least. Thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36687: A little tough to do in 3 mins. the connections are not difficult but sorting through the nato alphabet takes a bit of time. Or maybe I'm just slow ..... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Keemo @ #36702: Great grid 👍🏻 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will Shepherd @ #36700: Nice grid. I really should have scored more than 3... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #36689: Let - Are you sure this fits the group? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #36689: Two groups required narrow knowledge. Not general enough for most people. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Will Shepherd @ #36671: Good grid, nice red herrings. I need to read the book again 🙂 (3 years, 11 months ago)

ConfusedOne @ #36700: Lovely grid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #36693: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36669: OMG - really hard! Well done, great grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

BinDipper @ #36667: What Aetees said really. It's not really the number of cross-overs; its that you end up with many different valid solutions. eg. You can swap Plate and Fish or Plate and Mine (3 years, 11 months ago)

BinDipper @ #36667: (3 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #36667: There is too much crossover between the metallic clues for my liking. Fish, mine and foil can all crossover which makes for some sheer guesswork if those are the two you are left with at the end. Don't misunderstand me, cross overs are good. I just think there are a few too many here. (3 years, 11 months ago)

tch @ #36674: Good grid. Asia + Europe could each fit in either group though. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #28141: You have "ordinal" and "cardinal" mixed up. The titles here contain ordinal numbers, as in where they occur in a particular order. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #36671: V nice. Only one problem, Arthur and Ford are interchangeable. Other than that, bravo. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #36672: Nice grid, nice concept. But they really have to have only one valid solution. As others have said, A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 are all paper sizes AND UK roads, so lots of possibilities. Also as others have said, only roads with M designation are motorways (M25 or A57(M)). Nice concept, needs work. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lil John @ #36686: How did I not get the lil group with all my homies nooooo! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #36685: Suggestions 1 Add relatives to family questions 2 Add bathroom items 3 Not sure that the alphabet question is fair (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rob @ #36672: Good effort :-) confusing at first but easy to work through the groups once you take stock. A4, A1 and A3 are all interchangeable though being both motorways and paper sizes, making those two groups impossible to get other than trial and error. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Murph1908 @ #36668: Typo. Two letters on the keyboard that are right next to each other got switched in my answer field. Fixed. Thanks for commenting and letting me know! (3 years, 11 months ago)

simon @ #36657: excellent grid - [tips hat] (3 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #36681: (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christo @ #36672: Liked the novel groups used. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #36672: Good one (3 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #36674: was good only the blue group was waaaay to obvious...so much so that i didnt even think it possible (3 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #36668: Really love this one, however your kiwi group has a specific 10 letter word to describe the answer that's missing. (3 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #36669: Enjoyable puzzle, good job (3 years, 11 months ago)

FK @ #36667: Enjoyed this! (3 years, 11 months ago)

test @ #6383: test (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tony Blair @ #6383: Can't believe this didn't accept a single minor typo. I have important things to do and can't spend my time spellchecking eery damn thing I write. 4/5/7 mastapiece (3 years, 11 months ago)

VegasUK @ #36574: Really enjoyed this one, thought it was going to be impossible at first look. (3 years, 11 months ago)

siskin @ #36669: very good (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lol @ #28148: love it! (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36667: Nice theme! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #36659: Knive (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36666: Nice mix of topics. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36670: Nice grid. Learning all the time, A1 is new to me! (3 years, 11 months ago)

ScottyWalks @ #36673: @FK sorry, you’re right. I was thinking of verb that work with away, but didn’t spot that these also work with out. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36672: Really nice grid. (But A10 and A4 are not UK motorways! ) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Timmon @ #36649: Shows as well as musicals (3 years, 11 months ago)

FK @ #36672: 10/10, fantastic, 1:45 left. Felt slightly easy to me but hey, I give a 10/10 board all stars. Give back what you receive, know what I'm sayin'?! (3 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #36669: Intelligent grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

FK @ #36673: Good grid but surely 'out' is better than 'away'. I mean, both fit it just made me sad not seeing the confetti or whatever you get when you get 10/10. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36671: Good, fun grid! Nice topics. Nice crossovers. Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

LUKE @ #36670: I agree, I wrote school too, haha (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36670: Maybe allow school on the After row ? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #33: Good one, enjoyed this a lot. Bit easy for a medium maybe. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #32: Enjoyed this a lot but wtf is a funkyhouse? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #30: Why has this not been deleted? Some numbers are missing, yet this rubbish stays up? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #29: Some smartass thinking they're clever. Avoid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #28: Never heard of pepperwood but otherwise this was really enjoyable. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #27: Great groups, appalling choice of accepted answers. Jail should be accepted, as should mammals. Also never heard of a hair cloth. This one's almost really good, but for those few issues (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #24: I enjoyed this one but would never have got the connection about the TV show, not really general knowledge. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #10711: Top drawer! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #23: Possibly the most pointless grid I've yet encountered. Very specialist knowledge needed in one tiny area. Also very likely to date quickly as people move around. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #20: The Andre group could just as easily have been "names of my mum's window cleaners over the years" - does this stuff pass for general knowledge these days? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #32739: Good fun! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #29738: A good un! (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36657: @puzzgrid - ooh thanks so much. I will persevere with Catbox (have emailed the developer) so hopefully I can get that working. Thanks for this workaround though! (3 years, 11 months ago)

PuzzGrid @ #36657: Replacing voca.ro/random_characters with https://media1.vocaroo.com/mp3/random_characters seems to work (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36657: @puzzgrid - feel free to delete this grid if you want (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36657: Thanks - I keep trying Catbox but then keep getting an error and only working every now and then. So tried something else. I'll keep trying. (3 years, 11 months ago)

PuzzGrid @ #36657: Sorry you need raw MP3 files - catbox.moe works (3 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #2093: OK Wall, lots of keying options just to find the right MJ albums. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36650: for real? (3 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #24111: Just OK, got it all but couple of clues very obscure (except for nerdy teens perhaps...) (3 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #17903: Pretty good, puppets one was a bit tricky, but enjoyable. (3 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #5633: Good one - liked the links between the groups - took a while to get 'bill' group till the penny dropped. (3 years, 11 months ago)

me @ #36188: Good attempt, not quite there - some definitions a bit iffy. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #7198: Great grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

DaveH @ #36642: I had my laptop on mute when I clicked into this grid. All the boxes were the same and nothing I did made any sense! Only after I gave up did the penny drop...... (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36651: Thank you! I'm looking forward to making one of these! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #36649: You're right it doesn't. I have these all in a big document and copy it all over now and then. Changed it for a placeholder until I find something better :/ thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

ScottyWalks @ #36642: No, it was an error. When I tried it, there were no play buttons loading. It just looked like a grid of 16 empty grey boxes. Now the sounds are loading I can give it a proper try. (3 years, 11 months ago)

ScottyWalks @ #36649: I’m not sure how 4th July comes monthly??? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Janus @ #36646: The spellings group is inspired!! (3 years, 11 months ago)

P3t3r @ #36647: Good grid w/ nice use of crossovers. The forename group is a little loose & may apply to many scenarios. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lawner @ #36642: Like it. More, more. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HtC @ #36598: Shouldn't it be Debbie Reynolds? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #13: Annoyingly specific answer for the Hosta group. Otherwise a good one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #12: A perfect beginners quiz - easy answers and no red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #11: Needing such a precise answer to the Amazon group is a bit ridiculous. We all know what they have in common, but getting that precise description is beyond the point of the game. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #10: Just no. Knowing which numbers are unlucky in particular countries or are in certain mathematical sequences is just too specialist. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rick Allen @ #6: Didn't enjoy this one at all. The 'fish' group is impossible, has to be left as the 'what's left' category after getting the others. Still really not sure about the 'cite' category either. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #27171: Agree with Ben (3 years, 11 months ago)

BinDipper @ #36449: What are you talking about? The whole point is to have a unique solution. That's a basic of a wall. It's nothing to do with "putting every word that could fit with it" - whatever that means. It's a nice puzzle but you can swap two answers therefore it doesn't work. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ivan @ #36595: Good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rio @ #36616: Cool grid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Kat Dilworth @ #36367: Fine but the connections have to be too specific. 3D shapes should be sufficient as should car parts. Expecting exact wording is a bit of a stretch. (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36596: Nice one. I enjoyed it (didn't get the Roseanne category, but I should have). (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36597: Loved it. I didn't get the bonus points (bc of that Cassius Clay group), but good grid play. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #36510: Polemo should be Pomelo, perhaps? Also Beech could be swapped for any other of the Pea group so there is no unique solution unless I'm missing something. "Nut" should be accepted as an answer for the Pea group. Generally it's best to use the singular form in the list of accepted words for the link. (3 years, 11 months ago)

AB BE @ #36463: The ‘gutter’ clue is misleading, as the ‘e’ would have to be changed to a ‘u’ for the given answer to work. (3 years, 11 months ago)

j aust @ #36412: Yes AB BE thats why I thought I would put the disclaimer 'for Australia'. I live in Aust but am a Brit, so am fine with both but find it disappointing that others felt necessary to rank it down just based on content done under a flag other than Brit. It would be nice if all nations could leave a grid for their countries. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #36416: Not bad. I had young louts in and it wouldnt accept it. Might be worth expanding the description there. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36392: Ok, but the Ian clue is very weak, as is the whole line. A random and common christian name is not actually a clue, and the individuals surname does not fit the connection. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lottie @ #29154: Lucky I got the Disney ones straightaway, otherwise this would have been pretty tough. Great wall, loved it! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lottie @ #368: Agreed that disease might be a tad vague, but I can see why you couldn't have gone more specific without giving the game away! I can't complain too much, having gotten a 10/10 ;) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lottie @ #3594: Really great wall, not too difficult but with nice overlap and red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lottie @ #36082: This was such a good grid! 10/10 in 40 seconds, so relatively easier for me, but I can see some of the red herrings and if I hadn't spent a long time in high school obsessing over astrology I likely would have found this a lot harder. Great work! (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #36363: really love these (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #36363: (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lottie @ #36111: This was very fun! I noticed that "first" was also an accepted answer instead of "fifth", which works because "first disease" is a synonym (albeit archaic) for measles, and does work for every other clue in that group. I'd go so far as to say "words that can be preceded by an ordinal word (such as first, second, etc)" is the broadest category for them, because second disease, third disease etc is also a thing, right up to the seventh disease! This was a lot of fun, thank you! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Annie @ #36354: Enjoyed it. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #36362: I though the July group would be tougher (3 years, 11 months ago)

kosse @ #4747: I didn't get the U2 tracks at all! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars for quality is that 'synonyms' wasn't accepted as the link for the 'to want' group - it's hard to know the exact word that is meant to be the answer (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #5791: Links very over-specific. 'sleeper' was rejected as an answer to 'Sleeper', and 'help you to sleep' rejected as answer to 'soporifics'. (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #5799: Wade isn't synonymous with swim. It means walking through water. (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #5817: Good. I just ran out of time before finishing sorting the tird and fourth groups. It's a shame 'body parts' wasn't accepted as a corrrect answer- ears aren't always considered to be a part of the face. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ello @ #36181: The US vice president red herring was very clever (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #5833: The Disney C.S. Lewis adaptations weren't cartoons, they were live action combined with CGI. (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #5898: Onion and haddock aren't compound words. A compound word is made by combining at least two words, it doesn't just mean the word has two or more syllables. Beetroot and onion should have been swapped between the two groups, as beetroot actually is a compound word, and onions can be pickled. Another actual compund word should be in the grid instead of haddock. (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #6063: It was fun, and I got all the groups and all the all the group headings, but Frankenstein was the doctor, not the monster, and is science-fiction, not mythology. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #36358: : D (3 years, 11 months ago)

david menezes @ #6094: Not a bad grid - I could tell what the groups were, from fairly early on, and was just lucky that my random guesses at what belonged in which sorted out the last two groups in time. It's a shame 'coast' was not accepted, for 'famous coasts', and 'anniversaries' was rejected when it was a more accurate and concise answer than that given. Maybe be more concise and less narrow in the acceptable answers. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lottie @ #29192: Everyone asking about the rabbit: it's a device you have to click before you submit a comment so the system knows you're not a bot. Great grid! Took me ages to get "small" for some reason. (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36313: The grid itself was easy to solve, however the links more difficult. It is kind of you to leave the player with ideas to information up if they wish, on the other hand others may like fuller information, e.g. The Last Man in Europe group. Thanks greymaiden, you have been busy (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36307: @True - wrong, replace "should" with "I would have preferred as I didn't know that" Good grid and my knowledge expands as I play. Thank you greymaiden (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36305: Ah! that's better. had not heard of the football and had to look it up. I won't forget that in a hurry. Nicely done, ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36302: very good, to paraphrase Eric Morecambe, "I got all the parts correctly, just not in the right order" That's just how an Only Connect wall should be. Thank you (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36294: The food/film was the first set I got. I didn't get all the points though because I didn't get the wording right on the final 4 connections (and misspelled Dahl). This was fun, though. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jason @ #6140: Nothing is wrong about the grouping or the connections (although I'd theologically debate the "names for the devil" section), but the listed reason for the connections for the Bohemian Rhapsody one is incorrect; neither Magnifico nor Bismillah are names, but rather a title and an islamic invocation respectively.

Jmelb @ #36191: Good explanations (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36195: I enjoyed that and happy with 4/10, I was intrigued by a single person in the grid. well done and thank you (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36157: sorry for the "reveal" (3 years, 11 months ago)

JMelb @ #36157: I remember seeing Superstar. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36188: enjoyed it (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36189: Nicely themed. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36189: enjoyable (3 years, 11 months ago)

Your name @ #36178: Yes (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36189: It's working now. I've played it twice (under UK and US flags). Really good grid. Creative, challenging, fun. (3 years, 11 months ago)

coyote37 @ #36188: Nice concept. Cobbler line doesn't quite work- cobblers would be rubbish! But that's nitpicking, it's a good grid :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36100: Challenging for me - I didn't get one category! But I should have gotten the 'seed' and 'bell' connections, at least. Good themes. Thx. (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36112: Challenging! Tablet tripped me up. But good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36111: No one would associate 3rd or 4th with 'disease'. The connection I made before reading these comments was the one you intended. Despite your critic, this is a great grid. Enjoyed it very much. Thx. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36188: Nice grid. Maybe include othe spellings of fair? (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36118: Great grid! Fun play. Thx. (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36152: It was a hard one for me, but fun theme. Thx. (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36188: fun (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36188: Good grid. Thx! (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36191: Nice one. Thx. (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36082: Yes, Mother Jones was a US labor/union organizer that most people outside the US (and probably a lot of people INside the US) wouldn't know of, but it's also a current political magazine that is probably only well-known in the US. (3 years, 11 months ago)

PuzzGrid @ #36188: Sorry folks, should be fixed (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #36082: Interesting. Never heard of Mother Jones. Suspect it's a US thing (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #23088: Clever and tricky, good (3 years, 11 months ago)

Purple toadstool @ #8515: Good tenpin bowling red herring! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36173: I was stumped on a few, but loved the themes. Great grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36188: The timer isn't set for this grid, either, which is too bad because it looks like it would have been a fun challenge. It certainly made the end connections easier. ;) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36191: Is it just me or do the last 5 grids glitch? Can't do. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36189: Hmm, the last few grids that have posted don't seem to be set with a timer. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. I also tried to post this grid to the UK and US, but I think it showed up on the US twice and not at all on the UK? Or, maybe I messed something up while posting... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36173: This looks new, had you seen it? Grid of the week: #36010 by Juul [Comments] Grid of the day: #36157 by stjohn [Comments] (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #36181: Enjpyed that! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36111: Rabbit, I've amended the linking terms to accommodate your concerns. Thanks for your input. :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

mk @ #36184: A court card is another word for a face card (in a deck of cards) but forest isn't really a type of park (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36184: Court and forest let down their groups, otherwise good. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Black Lodge @ #36153: Thanks for the heads up guys! Have made ammendments. Maybe try it again and see what you think! :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jmelb @ #36151: Hm, alias blown and down goes the rating again. (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36173: Lovely - no chance on The Pie group - but that's the way it goes! Thanks (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36162: Nice grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36165: Good grid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36111: My point is that an answer of 3rd or 4th for those groups would be equally valid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36173: Like the groups. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36181: sweet and simple. happy halloween! :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36139: Great grid. I love the theme, but couldn't figure out what to write for one of connections at the end. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36088: Simple (but not too easy), and fun. Thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36181: as described, easy thank you for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36063: There are dozens of references to vampires in the Bible, if not references to modern ideas of vampires or specific vampires. Blood drinking-sucking-giving was a big deal in all the ancient religions, and vampires are specifically referred to in Proverbs and Leviticus (and probably Revelations). The English word 'vampire' isn't in the OT or Talmud, that I know of, but the ancient Hebrew word for vampire is. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36015: Thanks - Good grid, imo. Maybe you could add more linking terms at the end (or perhaps they need to be more objective than subjective). (3 years, 11 months ago)

Linckx @ #36111: Agreed, Jaxis. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36085: I don't think they're too broad; actually, they're very specific - so specific that if you aren't familiar with the individual subjects you aren't going to get all the points for this grid. Which is how the game is played. This one was challenging for me but really well done. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36150: Loved it. I'm sure many grids share themes or categories, but the fun is in how they are different and how they challenge. This one is both unique and challenging. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36165: Loved it. Creative. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36166: Great grid. Stumped me on a couple of them. (3 years, 11 months ago)

sums+books @ #36172: Cracking. Very fun. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36170: Great grid. While true that Carol, Stacy, Lindsay and Kelly aren't traditionally female names - they are commonly used as female names today, so I think it works. Fun play, thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36111: 👍 Jaxis (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36170: Good grid ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36111: I've noticed a lot of spiteful little comments being dropped after grid-play lately, like 'too vague' or 'done before' or 'weak'. Whether they are from different people or one person using different names, comments like these are often vague, weak, and overdone themselves, and certainly not constructive. Be mindful of the rules, Players. Criticisms should be constructive only. If you aren't articulate enough to leave constructive criticism, confine your outrage and disappointment to the rating system. Complimentary comments, on the other hand, are always welcome. :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36111: Rabbit, If I replaced any of the individual 5th clues with 3rd or 4th, the connection would be lost. Yes, I could have used ALL 3rd or 4th instead of all 5th clues (there is a 3rd or 4th dimension, amendment, symphony, and disease) - but then the connection would be the 3rd or 4th ordinal instead of 5th. So what's your criticism? You think I should have chosen a different ordinal? Well, I didn't. But how is that a constructive criticism? I used the 5th because the specific 5th examples I chose are more commonly known. For example, not many people know the 3rd amendment because it hasn't been used since the Civil War, but most Americans know about 'taking the 5th'; there is a 3rd Disease but it isn't known as 3rd Disease because it's called 'measles', whereas 5th Disease is more commonly called 5th Disease than it is called 'parvo'; and likewise with the 3rd Symphony, which is called Eroica more than it is referred to as The 3rd. We also know there are three common dimensions, but the 5th dimension is also distinguished as a pop group. If I had chosen all clues that are based on either 3rd or 4th, it would have worked, but might not have been as easy to connect in under three minutes. I hope this addresses your point but I'm not certain of what your point is. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36088: enjoyed it (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #36170: Oops. Apologies for the cut and paste error folks. All sorted now! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Harrison Finch @ #36166: This was good. I should have given a higher rating. :-] (3 years, 11 months ago)

tch @ #36153: Lots of non-unique swaps: old (hold, fold) + ail (hail, fail) ad (had, add) + edge (hedge, edged) ace (face, aced) + ad (fad, add) (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36118: very good ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36170: Meant to say you've put Fred in twice 😎 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36170: Archie Leach appears in the answer but not in the question Good grid other than that one hiccup Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36165: Surprised "power" wasn't down as an answer. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36118: Very good grid Once you spot the plot it all falls into place 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36111: Good grid, and nice spread of subjects. Enjoyed playing Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #36127: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #36131: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

kpnuts @ #36118: Nice one. A lot of thought went into this one. Once you get the first group everything falls into place. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Trevor @ #36150: Wow. That got me thinking... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Trevor @ #36151: Nice one (3 years, 11 months ago)

Greg @ #1700: Nice idea, not seen this gimmick before (3 years, 11 months ago)

Bloke #1 @ #8793: Nice grid. Good mix of clues and all fair with enough crossover to not make it too easy (3 years, 11 months ago)

gaffer @ #36126: Good grid but depends if you think Ant & Dec are funny!! (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36082: very enjoyable, got me with Jones. Praise is deserved, shame a few other players did not leave a comment ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Doris and Boris @ #36085: Oh look! Here's another Rabbit Selecta 'suck the joy right out of it' classic. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Doris and Boris @ #36111: So Rabbit Selecta, grid 36153 to 36111 in 7 minutes? Anything to do with you seeing an existing negative comment? (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36132: great fun ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36153: good effort, had me running around, but not unique solution, you can edit and it would be fine, ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36158: very good (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36111: I think 5th could just as easily be 3rd or 4th. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36153: Not a unique solution, ail could swap with eel or old. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Caz @ #36126: Good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Horatio @ #36137: Too hard for me - three minutes just wasn't long enough to solve the cryptics and make the connections. Just too many puzzle styles for my little brain to grasp quickly. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lynckx @ #36111: Loved it. Good job. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36003: Nice one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36127: Good grid! Btw, I don't think Tyson is 'too vague' (if we share the same meaning of the word 'vague'). Tyson belongs in that category based on a specific connection (while also serving as a red herring). Sometimes when people say 'too vague' I think they actually mean 'too hard'. ;) I enjoyed it, even though I didn't get them all. Thx! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36151: Thanks. She has disappeared. Unless she is using an alias at the moment {like me too ; ) } (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36151: Wowza, that was a hard one (for me). I got all the connections within the boxes but ran out of time to make the categorical connections. Excellent grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Lynckx @ #36152: Sweet, simple, fun. Thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36111: Spoiler: Hi Puzzle man. The burden of specificity is put on the player in Only Connect (by VCM) at the end of wall grid play, which is why I'm usually more clear and detailed in the 'more info' section for those who play my own grids, at least for those connections that are more arcane, but I assumed most people would know that the 5th Dimension was a popular group from the 60s-70s, as well as an established theory of gravity/electromagnetics; 5th Disease is a common childhood illness (aka Parvo or Slapped Cheek Disease); the 5th Symphony is one of the most famous of Beethoven's symphonies; and the 5th Amendment is one of the better known amendments in the U.S. Constitution. The men are all well-known Lou's. No connection depended on the spelling of their names or if they used the shortened (Lou) or full (Louis) version of their first names. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36126: Good fun grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Jaxis @ #36103: spoiler: the herbs mentioned in Shakespeare's plays are also edible and used in cooking (and vice versa, in some cases), so it was a bit difficult to distinguish and name connected groups at the end - for me, anyway. I liked the idea, though. (3 years, 11 months ago)

LUKE @ #35940: I think 'upset' is correct for 'in a bad mood' (3 years, 11 months ago)

Marco @ #34954: This 1 was v3ry nice 2 play. Thanks 4 this. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Marco @ #36091: The plurals one is too far fetched. (Pence was nice though =) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Marco @ #35374: Perfectly splendid grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36087: Spike - you are correct. My original grid line was to include chimeras or mythological hybrids, some of which were constellations, but in the end I switched it all over to constellations (to provide multiple cross connections) and didn't correctly assign Capricorn (which is a hybrid but not a centaur). Thank you for pointing this out - corrections have been made. :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #28955: Got stuck on the dog food for a while. Good grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36100: Using first names is rarely a good idea, and I don't think it works here. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Nooj @ #36061: Excellent. Glad I got more than Zilch! (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36073: Great grid. I laughed and VCM prompting us! (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36080: Very classy! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36085: All sets very broad, to be honest. We're supposed to factorise 1601 and 1721 in our heads against the clock, are we? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #36092: Clever grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #36092: Enjoyed this! (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36092: liked it! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36088: Done in 30, easy yet fun (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #36080: Got the group's and Shakespeare, then blank. Good one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36087: Good explanations (3 years, 11 months ago)

Spike @ #36087: Sorry, but I think there’s a mistake on ‘Twins’ group. Archer and Centaur are the same sign. Capricorn is a goat (3 years, 11 months ago)

MedusaStone @ #36087: Freddgar - Good idea and done! Thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #36083: Well done I can't believe I missed a Dune clue, kicking myself 🦵🦵. (3 years, 11 months ago)

LA Paladin @ #34117: "Airports" is already included as an accepted answer, along with "international airports". -- LA P (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36087: Very good, maybe allow "3 of them" ??? Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ghg @ #36068: Is Nixon an invention or a famous event? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Verr @ #36029: Enjoyed, thanks. (3 years, 11 months ago)

. @ #36085: 1714 set very broad (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #13319: Agree with Fairfax (3 years, 11 months ago)

Verr @ #36019: The bordering one is very obscure, may as well be "First two letters of words I am thinking of" Sorry, but not fun. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Verr @ #36015: A rich combination of poor reasoning and poor grid construction. Garbage, please sell elsewhere. (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36043: Smashing (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36080: Class (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36079: Fun (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36048: good (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36075: Not a unique solution... you could swap Orange with Apple or Cotton Candy/ (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36079: Nice and easy does it 😁 10s all round Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36043: Iiked the mut line (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36044: Maybe allow head coverings ?? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36049: Maybe allow authors ?? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Freddgar @ #36073: Very good grid Couple of good crossovers 10s allround Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36045: Seems you have a grinch rating your grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36056: great groups! (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36070: Liked the four group (3 years, 11 months ago)

. @ #36075: sorry but 2 of the groups are unknowable to 99% of people (3 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #36073: excellent grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36058: Yes but more detail in explanations would help others. All good groups except ice one (which is overused). (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36056: Top grid, original clever groups. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36054: Top construction, great quality. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36071: Haven't seen Gladiators for a while, so I'll let you off that one... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36070: Hmm. Too "read my mind" on the Phillip group. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ghg @ #36063: The Black Sea is found “in” Romania. Really? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #36022: Where is one's hook? Also digit and finger with limb? Not consistent. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Leanne and JJ @ #36038: Happy anniversary (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36053: Shouldn't that be fortnight, then? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36049: You should pay attention to your spellings - "crucian carp", "lamprey", "writers", "species". The word for the German leaders is "chancellors", certainly not "empires" (or even "emperors"). (3 years, 11 months ago)

Madeline @ #1396: I like it! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Stevieboy @ #36048: That was first class, didn’t get the idea of it for the first minute but then it clicked! Excellent stuff! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ragman @ #36049: Not sure this qualifies as fiendish..... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #36031: Nice! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36030: Good Grid. Just my level! Not sure what Selecta is going on about.... (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36028: PMs again! (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36026: And could people please stop rating highly the bland, repetitive, easy ones and start rewarding effort, originality and difficulty? (sorry for the rant) (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36026: Definitely just had the spot group - and cat group too. Could everyone please stop canibalising each other's grids (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36025: PMs yet again (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36024: More detail required in explanation/answers (3 years, 11 months ago)

j @ #36031: great (3 years, 11 months ago)

Victoria @ #33392: This was fun but kinda tricky! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mixh @ #36006: Edit: Meant to also ask why "none" is lowercase. Makes it stand out. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mixh @ #36006: I like the red herrings but some of these are a little questionable. "A friend of my enemy?" "A friend of none?" Those aren't familiar to me. Are they common phrases? (3 years, 11 months ago)

gaffer @ #36019: add 'r' for a word!! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36015: So true - a timely warning. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Juul @ #36029: Enjoyable, quick and fun. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36030: I feel you're stretching a point to try to shoehorn Arkwright into that group. Surely there must have been a less contentious example available? (3 years, 11 months ago)

stjohn @ #36029: @McLeod, hmmmm! agreed now altered thanks (3 years, 11 months ago)

McLeod @ #36029: Kept me going right to the end. Thanks. (Split?) (3 years, 11 months ago)

TR6 @ #36021: a good effort, rabbit selecta is correct but neglects to say a banana, botanically speaking IS a berry (3 years, 11 months ago)

bab @ #36023: Palomino isn't a breed of horse but otherwise nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Simon @ #36028: I think the Macbeth/Lion King is dodgy. It should be Hamlet if anything - but a bit tangential anyway (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36021: If you're using "ha ha, some people think these are vegetables but they're really fruits" as a connection, then you can't also use strawberry, which isn't actually a berry, as a type of berry. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ghg @ #36006: Edmund was spiteful and misguided but not a coward as acknowledged by Aslan. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36022: More bloody captains. Well, the same bloody captains actually. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Brian @ #36021: can't think of anything nice to say (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36024: Great grid! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #36010: easy but fun! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #36010: Fun and different. "For weighing" doesn't quite work because the answer to that ends in "s". (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36016: months done a lot lately, other sets are good. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #35972: Nice! Enjoyed the red herrings. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36014: Great grid! Lovely crossovers - thanks for posting! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Owen Faunt @ #35980: Great work Matt (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #35992: Brilliant - I got it with one second to go! At one point, I had three answers for three of the connections and was scrabbling around trying to work the fourth for any of them! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #36006: OK, I'm not sure that "A friend of in need" makes sense though?? Good groups though. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36010: Twelve inches doesn't quite work because the answer to that would be singular. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35996: I got the group, but Peter and the Wolf is quite weak as a clue. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #36000: Agree, the space group is too much. After seeing Deity and Below, I spent a very long time trying to work out which other words had all their letters in alphabetical order... (3 years, 11 months ago)

Don Ellers @ #1396: I wrote "Speakers" as the reply for [Shamed, Bout, Mount, Gain] and was given credit. Rather fun grid though! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36003: Nice (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #36010: Good one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #35970: No chance at programming! But fun. (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #35971: Good one! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Reg @ #35999: ken is yes in Hebrew. Maybe avoid being questioned by putting in fuller explanations. That was a good set however the others were too generic-I have done 2 of them recently myself. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #36003: Captain group way too frequent. (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #36003: Quick and fun :) (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tittymeat @ #36004: Noice (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #36000: Nice grid, but I found the space group too contrived. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Caz @ #35978: Fun grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Logicboy @ #35996: Enjoyed that one but really stumped me some of it (3 years, 11 months ago)

Caz @ #35999: Good grid. Nice and easy. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35999: Great grid. I disagree with your meaning of Ken though. (3 years, 11 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #35974: @Mixh Ruby Rose Rust Scarlet (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mixh @ #35974: Nice. I didn't know all the connections but was able to solve by linking things that looked similar. Could you give the solutions to the anagrams? (3 years, 11 months ago)

Timmon @ #35972: Quality (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #35972: love the house set (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35972: Great fun grid! Ty (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35975: Good grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #35968: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #35971: Nice grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #35972: The Brie set was clever (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #35974: Nice grid. I like the bury set. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #35975: Nice grid the the otter set was a bit weak. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Richard @ #35978: Nice grid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #583: good one (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #35982: No idea what link for imposter,electrical etc It doesnt make sense (3 years, 11 months ago)

astral @ #35982: The Electrical/Navigation group is from the game Among Us, which has become very popular recently. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ms Slink @ #35982: Could someone explain the group with Electrical and Navigation in for me, please? (3 years, 11 months ago)

astral @ #35982: Easy for me haha, very much one for the youth (3 years, 11 months ago)

freddgar @ #35968: Very good grid. Liked the link, solved the wall got 2 of the links Thanks for posting (3 years, 11 months ago)

astral @ #35978: I got one hit wonder but 'one' didn't apply to anything else. Didn't realise you had to look for other numbers, liked the twist! (3 years, 11 months ago)

John Sterling @ #35978: Brilliant Quiz! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christobal @ #35974: Nice one. Two of my bands were different, but they still worked! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #9511: Too, too hard (3 years, 11 months ago)

. @ #35971: biomes (3 years, 11 months ago)

Martin @ #35974: Good one (3 years, 11 months ago)

Sandrine @ #35973: Yet another excellent Knockin grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

McLeod @ #35966: Good one. Had to put my coffee down. Thanks (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christobal @ #35970: Was going really well until the edo group! I know nothing about that!😄 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christobal @ #35968: Good grid. Smooth/soft link is a bit dodgy though! 😄 (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35952: 3* here and 4* elsewhere (3 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #35968: clever grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35966: Excellent. Maybe structure it a bit more clearly? (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35955: Actually I think there are a couple of less used categories - which is appreciated. Christobal, tall poppy syndrome - something that occurs on this site quite frequently. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35953: Nice to see a couple of original groups (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35952: multi listed. Favoritism evident when the same grid is rated 38 here and 4* further down (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35947: Hidden body of water again... (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35946: Again, Lucy and Laura groups have just been done. Perhaps check other grids to have less repetition. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35944: 35945 is a classic example of overused groups that are getting a higher rating (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35945: ... and hidden body part yet again! (and fish) (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35944: Thanks for giving it a go. Yes they are frequent groups (but that happens a lot). Read the puzzgrid instructions, it increases correct answers when you truncate answers ie don't use plural - bird instead of birds. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35916: Too much crossover for the time limit. (3 years, 11 months ago)

True @ #35915: Flambe unnecessarily rude. I have seen ones of this quality consistently get *4 - depending on who makes them. Its ok. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christobal @ #30982: Good grid. easy but fun (3 years, 11 months ago)

Christobal @ #35955: Very enjoyable (tho I've never heard of a tall poppy!)😄 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mixh @ #35938: Very difficult! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Mixh @ #35939: Nice grid. I got 3 out of 4 (and therefore solved the grid, but didn't get all the connection bonuses). (3 years, 11 months ago)

Anjella @ #35957: Loved this one! (3 years, 11 months ago)

CosmiCon @ #291: Should swap one of the Uranian moons with Umbriel, since it's the only one not named after a Shakespeare character. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35958: Good one. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35961: Some of the clues look like you've googled the connections and plucked out words vaguely related to them at random without regard to playability. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #35959: Good! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #35962: Good, thanks! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35959: Second grid in a row with U2 singles as a category! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Flambè @ #35961: Not for me. (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35957: Great grid! (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #35938: Removed the question mark and it works just fine. Cheers! (3 years, 11 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35956: Reasonable grid. (A bit of a mix of UK centred and USA centred.) (3 years, 11 months ago)

McLeod @ #35944: Good one. I've seen all the categories before but the groups were well combined. Completed with 55 secs still on the clock. Thanks (3 years, 11 months ago)

Sandrine @ #35942: Pretty good for a GorgBush grid (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35955: The categories are a bit samey but it seems solid. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35954: "Countries" should be an acceptable answer. The specific connection you've given for that group is a "read the question-setter's mind" type of answer. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Ghg @ #35944: Check your spelling (3 years, 11 months ago)

ej @ #35955: Very nice! (3 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #35933: Nice and fun. I didn't get the Squirt group, was thinking that it might be another wordplay group. I was never going to get the actual answer. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Raul @ #35935: good quiz mate (3 years, 11 months ago)

Cat Mooper @ #35935: It's nice to learn something (3 years, 11 months ago)

Steve H @ #35946: Since it includes "Jude" I wouldn't say "female" names necessarily (but since it gave me the point for "Beatles" it's not a dealbreaker). (3 years, 11 months ago)

Dangerous Dave @ #35942: We would like a coffee machine in EG504 (3 years, 11 months ago)

Puzz Grid @ #35938: Turns out you can't put question marks as a matching term. Sorry. (3 years, 11 months ago)

JK @ #4720: Category is labelled "USA's great lakes" which is not really accurate. Otherwise good. (3 years, 11 months ago)

EthelQ @ #35938: that is odd. Thanks, I will resubmit. (3 years, 11 months ago)

JK @ #186: Had "weight" instead of "fly" as the grouping, because I thought there was a meta reference to the weight tile. (3 years, 11 months ago)

Seriously, can someone work it out? It's probably not as small as I think it is (like 1 in 23) or something but it seems weird to me. (3 years, 11 months ago)

The counter registered each play, so presumably registered the 5*. Not logged in either. A random 2.5 grid from a while back lifted to 3* after one shot.

anonymous oakcrest guy @ #35585: this was kinda easy (3 years, 12 months ago)

True @ #35789: Very good but unlikely to get even a 4* rating, thanks to the picky and often anonymous types. Good uck and gang are going to be the only standard left soon. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Lawner @ #35775: Can, Yes, Talk Talk, The The, Everything Everything and Pulp Fiction in one quiz. You spoil us. (3 years, 12 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #35778: Thanks all, @Aetees - I've done a few of these over the months, if you search #ocwall on twitter you'll find them (not all picture ones...but easy to spot as you scroll through) (3 years, 12 months ago)

Murky Purple @ #35780: First group: names I don't recognise, therefore they probably go together. Yes they do! (3 years, 12 months ago)

Murky Purple @ #35778: Actually, for a gimmick grid that was pretty good. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Murky Purple @ #35777: They discontinued Time Out? The bastards! (3 years, 12 months ago)

Aetees @ #35778: Loved the concept but recognised too few of the clues (about half) to make much headway. Would love to see more like this though. (3 years, 12 months ago)

David @ #35778: That was brilliant. Thanks so much. Huge fun. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Lily @ #35723: Nice to see a few new groups (3 years, 12 months ago)

Tony @ #35773: The Meet line doesnt make any sense. A palindrome is a word that is spelled the same backwards and forwards like racecar or noon. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35768: Good one. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Maartje @ #35766: Good grid. Yes Wimbledon does work although I didn't get it. I did think wombles, but I need to think lateral wombles. Shame that 'captain. Isn't good enough to get a point (3 years, 12 months ago)

Daz @ #35766: was really good until the last group....Wimbledon???? No, that doesn't work lol!@ (3 years, 12 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35754: Nice grid (3 years, 12 months ago)

E @ #33371: I said "plant growing" and was marked incorrect. Might want to include that! (3 years, 12 months ago)

Joe @ #35531: I don't like mixing "some are anagrams and some aren't" for the measurements row. Too arbitrary. Also, I don't know how the link-checking is done, but I entered "berries" instead of "berry" for the first row, which seems like it should score a point. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Steve H @ #35763: They contain "no" and "OK"? What a lousy conection. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Obelix @ #35761: Thanks Freddgar. Fixed (3 years, 12 months ago)

Freddgar @ #35761: I like these missing consonants rounds Very rarely get them right However I put Hello for the AO line and got marked right !! Tried it again, still right 🤔 (3 years, 12 months ago)

. @ #35756: Welcome, unfortunately you have joined at a time where some are rating harshly rather than by quality. I notice is driving some regular grid setters away. Some just like to be critical, others rate poorly if it is too hard for them or not a topic of personal interest. Others dislike any difference or originality of style, which stifles new blood. Keep persevering! Just a hint - try not to do some oft repeated groups (ie snakes were done just recently). Good luck! (3 years, 12 months ago)

Christobal @ #35744: To be fair, Judi Dench never played a character called Mrs Brown. That was the nickname of Queen Victoria. Otherwise good grid. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35756: I think that once you get down to the 8 countries, it's asking too much to expect the solver to guess what criteria you've used to divide them up. Is having a particular colour in their flag really a distinctive enough connection? It doesn't make me think "of course, those countries logically form a group because of that". (3 years, 12 months ago)

Lawner @ #35743: Most recent to finish last, tho. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Lawner @ #35756: Colombia. I was looking for 'British' to link to that. Like confusing Columbo and Colombo: very different. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Freddgar @ #35756: Good grid, enjoyed playing, well done Nothing to be harsh about Thanks for posting (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35755: Meat Loaf is not a one name singer since his name is two words. You're getting him confused with Christinaaguilera. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #35751: Lovely stuff. Might be wrong but think there's only 1 n in Onnatopp (3 years, 12 months ago)

Bloke #1 @ #35744: I don't think that the completion for 'of Queens' is correct which makes that line more difficult than it should be to answer (3 years, 12 months ago)

Luna @ #35690: The last one didn't accept 'rivers' when the answer is rivers??? (3 years, 12 months ago)

Aetees @ #35744: Very good grid. The guitar line caught me out. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35743: They all came last at something once? Well, who or what hasn't? (3 years, 12 months ago)

Ghg @ #35728: On what planet is sparrow the ‘opposite‘ of cuckoo? (3 years, 12 months ago)

me @ #1379: Good wall. Missed the fore- group, dammit... (3 years, 12 months ago)

me @ #30000: Good, the 'less' clues were a tease though I found the fort one a little iffy with 'fortnight' included. (3 years, 12 months ago)

me @ #35558: Good one - guessed the 'beans' clue just as time ran out. Nice red herring with 'apple' confusing the celeb children one. (3 years, 12 months ago)

me @ #30596: pleasant enough wall, though a little easy. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #35739: One category is 2 from each of 2 opposites, these are disconnected - they are not connected. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Mr Picky @ #35739: 'Training' needs local knowledge. Not international enough. (3 years, 12 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35733: Great grid. Ty (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35566: Easy enough to sort into groups, but a couple of the connections are less "work this out from the clues" and more "read the question setter's mind". And why pink rather than red? (3 years, 12 months ago)

Verr @ #35728: The "opposing words" thing seems a bit woolly. I liked the other two connections. (3 years, 12 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35727: Nice grid. But I should be IN none of the links. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Devonian @ #35734: Ah yes, Reede is Fletcher Reede from Liar Liar. Although I always put my address in the box, I never receive any of Puzzgrid's emails so I can't edit the answer. :( (3 years, 12 months ago)

Ghost @ #35734: The Suede Shoes group was very clever. Wonderful (3 years, 12 months ago)

MK @ #35533: Not a fan of this one. Aside from banana, those aren't berries; they can be followed by -berry. That's different. And why put orange in "things that are orange"? Surely you could've thought of a different orange thing, or used a specific type of orange like mandarin. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Quizzle @ #35728: Opposites really don't work. I think a lot of the newer puzzles are trying too hard. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Quizzle @ #35728: Opposites really don't work. I think a lot of the newer puzzles are trying too hard. (3 years, 12 months ago)

MK @ #35703: I enjoyed this one, but I'm always a little bothered when 3 of 4 clues fit a certain way, and the 4th isn't quite right. I'm talking about the one that ends in snakes except for one is in the middle. Maybe that's just me. Otherwise, good board. (3 years, 12 months ago)

astral @ #35733: Excellent! (3 years, 12 months ago)

parker @ #35536: good one, got passed the red herrings on my last life lol! (3 years, 12 months ago)

JimBob @ #35718: Good to see you back, Aetees (3 years, 12 months ago)

Mary @ #35728: ... and goofs for fools (3 years, 12 months ago)

Christobal @ #35723: Good grid. Agree with Steve H, though. Maybe "scornful" would work? (3 years, 12 months ago)

Christobal @ #35733: Excellent grid - lots of red herrings! (I don't think "Weasel" was a character tho. There was a gang of weasels) (3 years, 12 months ago)

Spike @ #30670: Lovely grid. Good balance (3 years, 12 months ago)

Spike @ #35733: Nice grid. The animals added confusion (3 years, 12 months ago)

Spike @ #35734: Nice grid. I couldn’t read the answer to who “Reede” was though. The answer may need formatting in some way (3 years, 12 months ago)

Stormzy @ #35732: This was lit fam (3 years, 12 months ago)

Steve H @ #35730: Likewise. Managed to solve the grid (even though it was a bit rubbish) but the connections were nonsense. Still got a point for one of them by just mashing the keyboard though. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Richard @ #35730: Did not understand the answers but managed to resolve the grid. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Steve H @ #35728: A load of those "opposites" are more like synonyms. Tale for Story? Stallions for Horses? (3 years, 12 months ago)

Mattie @ #35728: I agree with you 'Sam'. :/ (3 years, 12 months ago)

François @ #35449: Très bon ! (par contre on écrit yaourt) (3 years, 12 months ago)

sam @ #35728: Orchard Road is an obscure reference. And sitcom should be allowed for tv shows (3 years, 12 months ago)

Lawner @ #35720: Good, except the lower case issue. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Steve H @ #35723: I think you should have found another grain for that group rather than just using the generic term. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Kevin @ #35699: Fun solid grid. Very nicely put together. Well done. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35702: Shakespeare's Sister should be Shakespears Sister. The song and the band are spelled differently. (Whereas if you wanted to make it songs that bands were named after, Radio Head would be two words.) (3 years, 12 months ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35690: Homophones for letters and commercial radio stations are so overused on this site. (3 years, 12 months ago)

Ghost @ #35703: I liked this very much. Pop Fly is a wonderful clue to go for. The Sound clues were interesting as well. Good job mate (3 years, 12 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #35566: The worst kind of grid. Two esoteric categories. What has rat to do with art ? Try these categories : The life of Lawrence of Arabia, German irregular verbs, Anagrams of makes of cricket ball, Battles of the Thirty Years' War. Don't fancy them ? I find them very interesting but I wouldn't make a grid with them. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35007: Wherefore art thou Rick B? Or are you a rose by any other name? : ) (4 years ago)

Throup @ #35508: Not a fan of the towel line. I don't think this is the place for racial slurs. Out of context or not, those terms aren't nice. I appreciate you may have included those terms to act as red herrings. But I think this time it wasn't worth it. (4 years ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35508: Not a unique solution. Could swap cleansing and facial. (4 years ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35500: Fun grid. Ty (4 years ago)

True @ #35502: Ooh nighteyes, what happened to your big love of grammar? What is a prefix? Were there prefixes in that group? (4 years ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35506: I got all the connections for four points. (4 years ago)

TR6 @ #35481: I failed miserably but I had so much fun playing thanks 5* for you (4 years ago)

True @ #35501: ... and nighteyes is a synonym for pedantic old grump (they know - its just easier for gridders to put synonym rather than write a long phrase that players won't get right in their answer) (4 years ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #35480: Great! A real tester. Think Gewurtztraminer is misspelt but it was still the most obvious clue in the grid. Thanks :) (4 years ago)

True @ #35498: crow group - are you kidding? (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35501: No. The only synonym for cold in that group is crisp. Cool is not a synonym for cold, for the same reason that warm is not a synonym for hot, i.e. they do not mean the same thing. Frosty would be, or freezing, but not frost or freeze. (4 years ago)

Joe @ #35503: I think a couple of items are a bit suspect. The London Underground is referred to as 'The Tube' or the London Underground, generally not 'London Tube' if you talk about the Tube in the UK, it's implicit that's it the London one. Not convinced ginger powder is obvious, would normally be referred to as ground ginger wouldn't it? Also not much cross-over between groups so more a case of working out what the groups are rather than which ones are in which group. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35502: I've never watched gladiators because it seemed utterly peurile, but maybe I should, if only to allow me to complete what seems like almost every other grid! I did like Sold. It is hard to spot as a prefix for ier. (4 years ago)

Kymera @ #35418: Nighteyes, I have no idea what you are talking about. I got it in less than a minute. How are Youtubers obscure, those four are some of the most well know content creators in mainstream culture, their origins spanning three counties and content reaching dozens more. Dr. Zed? A integral game mechanic in the well known, well loved, and well popularized game franchise, Borderlands. The only waste of time I can find is trying to understand why you would post such a useless comment. (4 years ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35435: Daxw- Sorry, I'm wrong above: pat to paté DOESN'T work. (4 years ago)

HippyHoppy @ #35435: Good fun grid! Daxw, I thought "pat" to "pate" (meaning "head") was fine. Paté (meaning stuff you can eat on toast) could also be ok. EthelQ, the pop row all make new words when turned backwards; the purse row really made me laugh! Thank you! (4 years ago)

daxw @ #35435: Not convinced by the add and 'e' row. Pate? Maybe 'Pa'l would have been a better option. Aside from that, good grid! (4 years ago)

True @ #35427: Ok except for fire and lotus I'm going to enjoy following you around Nighteyes, just like you enjoy negativity and criticism. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35337: Music and soft kitty were good. Cheerio does not fit because that is actually how you spell it. Many of the other homophones did not work very well. (4 years ago)

True @ #35428: Fiber or fibre? Too niche? isn't this playing on the West End? Didn't this win awards? (4 years ago)

True @ #35429: Meh (4 years ago)

True @ #35431: X men, mascots? Too niche. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35418: Dr Zed? Breaking Benjamin? Hard seltzer? I thought it could get no more obscure. Then came the youtubers. Good grief! What is the point of a grid that nobody could reasonably be expected to get? This is just a waste of time. (4 years ago)

True @ #35432: Nighteyes get a life. No-one is interested in you. (4 years ago)

True @ #35433: Way too niche (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35432: By both options, I mean the alliterative ones. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35432: I also note that "wet" works for both options. Which did you have in mind? (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35432: Having done your similar-themed one previously, this was very simple. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35434: The vi group is a bit simplistic. The covert group are not synonyms, merely words related to common theme. (4 years ago)

angela @ #28331: Ringo was not in the original line-up (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35433: Nice thanks (but isn't it more commonly Mordred?) (4 years ago)

EthelQ @ #35433: KAZAM! That was a doozie. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35432: thanks that works as an a antonym but didn't want to make them all antonyms - it is still a common weather term (plus a water park). Good thing about these are there is so much choice. (4 years ago)

Ghg @ #35432: Morcambe. Check your spelling. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35419: The train group is rather poor, and "draw" is just plain wrong. The word you were after is "drawer". (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35420: The ox group can also form valid, though somewhat obscure in some cases, words by adding an initial s. However, a nice grid. Thanks. (4 years ago)

Stacy @ #35430: I feel like the perfumes are also fashion brands, and the fuels are also energy sources. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35427: The name of the game is draughts. Checkers is the American term. "Deep" is a bit niche. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35428: Hamilton is too niche. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35429: short and free. I did this quickly but I should actually go back and put all the pairs in the answers I think. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #35429: Tough but fair. I spent my time looking for common joining words, not initial letters. What had you in mind for sweet and easy? (4 years ago)

Mr Picky @ #35396: One set is very UK based. The rest was easy enough to not nee to know it. (4 years ago)

Mr Picky @ #35402: Too eclectic / obscure. Mainly the set with Schism and also the set with Gorilla. Line and Fire only just fit the connection. Ouch. (4 years ago)

RBR45 @ #35352: Not too tricky - a few red herrings. (4 years ago)

Emmy @ #35352: Cool grid, definitely not easy. (4 years ago)

Emmy @ #35314: It's not bad at all, but the categories "words that start with a b" and "synonyms for big" look a bit lazy to me. However I like the two others, and the difficulty is well balanced. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35340: Enjoyed this thanks (4 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #35314: Valid herrings variety and nice ideas. But it felt a bit... bulky? Also, while I got it, the Tatiana Group has a serious flaw: she was a character, unlike the others (4 years ago)

bloss @ #35312: Good grid - but yeah, Iago (4 years ago)

Shirley @ #35312: The Shakespeare character is Iago (iago), not Lago (4 years ago)

Yambo @ #35307: Apologies Ezra, I figured "Swede" would cover all of the roots and forgot about that. Thanks! (4 years ago)

Jeeem @ #30377: Clever, but you need to add more possible answers (e.g., "assassinated presidents" didn't count for the first category). (4 years ago)

Loved It @ #12924: 10/10 great quiz! (4 years ago)

Jeeem @ #16096: "drugs" really should have been acceptable for the third category. (4 years ago)

Anonymous CV student @ #35100: The puzzgrid was very good (4 years ago)

Brian @ #35259: bit obscure especially the foodstuffs. Zinfandel is wine, the grapes are not sold as fruit (4 years ago)

Ade @ #35284: Now maybe you could do the same for male actors. Or is it only female actors who are known for the colour of their hair? (4 years ago)

Ade @ #35266: Nice one. Thank you (4 years ago)

Horatio @ #35288: Chaplain not chaplin, otherwise nice grid, thanks (4 years ago)

Brian @ #15061: Good one - nice red herrings (4 years ago)

Davina @ #34757: Tricky but do-able (for reasons given). Fun grid. (4 years ago)

mcclowes @ #35276: Really enjoyed it. Would say that the batt set isn't unique to that answer, maybe it should be more generic? (4 years ago)

Davina @ #34826: Love these (4 years ago)

Davina @ #34777: Enjoyable (4 years ago)

Freddgar @ #35280: Good grid, solved the wall. Nice red herrings. Failed on the up row and the color row 🙄 Thanks for posting. (4 years ago)

Aprotim @ #32681: Puzzles for the general interest probably shouldn't require deep knowledge of one specific area of expertise, much less one specific RPG system. This is no fun if you're not into D&D (I'm assuming it's D&D, I don't know it very well.) (4 years ago)

Aprotim @ #21239: "Start with" or "end with" the same letter clues are really underwhelming. This one didn't even serve to help with red herrings, so especially disappointing. (4 years ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #34730: I have no idea what PB 3A is. I assumed the answer was "Miss Wong's friends". (4 years ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35209: Mary at the cottage gate? Surely "Who do we appreciate?". Or "Never too late, me and my radio truckin' on through the night". And the atomic numbers group is not one I consider gettable or fair. (4 years ago)

Tom @ #35257: Nice grid (4 years ago)

Rabbit Selecta @ #35254: CON is a valid connection for the PRO group as well. (4 years ago)

Timmon @ #35027: Really good. May I suggest POTUS as an answer (4 years ago)

David @ #35212: Very funny, and kindly scored. Managed ten points despite having no clue about Geramov etc. My rather petulant "F*** knows," amazingly won a point. Will try the same tactic when stuck on other grids, but I doubt they will all be so generous. Thanks. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35212: read your predicament Good grief, that sounds awful. I would get advice from the tenants union asap. You are probably similar to an assured tenant and shouldn't be subject to immediate eviction. I would be trying to string it out. Can't imagine anything being bad enough to lose your job over. There should also be a process whereby you have to receive warnings first. Overall, the law should be on your side-just check your rights. It would be a hard (and foolish) boss who would mess their staff around during covid. Check your rights, good luck and let us know how you go. (4 years ago)

Gamnara @ #35138: Thanks, I added “plant” to the tags for the flower group! I looked it up, and “cry uncle” does seem to be North American. “Cry Havoc” is from Shakespeare (I had to look up which play it’s from, but it’s Julius Caesar). It’s referenced on its own, too, but it’s definitely on the obscure side. (4 years ago)

Caz @ #35120: Enjoyable grid, thank you. (4 years ago)

Ducky @ #35093: Thank-you for your feedback and comments; I appreciate it. When you give 2* or 1* for quality you are saying that the grid has major issues with construction and saying you think it would be better if no one else had to play it (it will drop off the main page at around 2.5*). 1* is ‘whacked up when drunk’ sort of level. There isn’t a like/ dislike range on the page, maybe because we vary in what we enjoy: one persons confusion may be anothers enjoyment of the challenge. The distinction is about issues that are down to the grid (quality), and experiences that are down to the player. Did you really think that having to spot there were two go lines, and thinking outside the box for one of the answers, is such poor grid quality? Or did you just not get on with it? I’ll leave that with you. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #35093: Well good morning from here! I have missed a bit. I actually sometimes post under another name just to check if some actually have just made up their minds that they don't like my grids in advance. I think others just get annoyed if they find them too hard - or not to their interest - and mark quality down. I tend do do a wide variety of styles (some obscure) but hope that people will just ignore if they do not like. I try never to leave a negative comment because variety is the spice of life and I think everyone is entitled to have a go. I do believe now that there are a very few who will always mark you down (even if they would rate the same grid higher, if posted by someone else). ps... and don't forget not long ago we had a troll who was definitely targeting a few of us. Oh well, I have tested my theories but will push on regardless! If I didn't have these to occupy my time during our stage 4 lockdown, I would be very bored indeed. : ) (4 years ago)

Aprotim @ #15050: I really loved this grid, except "score" let it down. Score isn't a unit of time, it just means twenty-ish. In the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln says "Four score and seven years ago", that doesn't mean (4 x score) + (7 x years), it means (4 x score + 7) x years. That is, "four score and seven" is just a fancy way of saying 87. (4 years ago)

Rick B @ #35093: "roulette"! (4 years ago)

Rick B @ #35093: @Ducky - Sorry to disappoint, I have a Y chromosome. I haven't played your grid because I'm trying to break the addiction before it gets too advanced, but couldn't resist reading comments. In my experience, the standard of your grids has been 5* with just an occasional 4*. My experience of low scores is that they are very rarely accompanied by explanation and despite this comments thread only 2 people have even tried to explain. Bloo's view that its "routine" shouldn't lead to a low score only a 3*. I think there are those who mark on like/dislike of a grid and those who mark on like/dislike of a setter, nothing to do with quality at all. I hope you haven't attracted any of the latter. Have a good holiday. We'll see if I'm back before you! (4 years ago)

Aprotim @ #30537: Having one groups connection (Disneyland, Paris) as an item in another group just gives it away by priming people to think of it. (4 years ago)

Aprotim @ #3608: This grid has multiple solutions (swap "party" for any of the "formal events" group, since you can throw any of them) and then the "formal" group just becomes "gatherings" or "celebrations". Honestly pretty disappointing, and even aside from that, nowhere near medium difficulty. (Also, it's spelled "frisbee".) (4 years ago)

Bloo @ #35093: Agree with jimbo. Having two “go” answers makes it a bit of a roulette (4 years ago)

Horatio @ #35093: I scored it low because the grid was spoiled by having two rows of Go - it just didn't make sense. Curiously I think if you had done 4 rows of Go I would have liked it better. As it was, just felt pretty 'Meh' once I finished. (4 years ago)

Jimbo @ #35093: Sorry Go more than once, becomes confusing (4 years ago)

Ducky @ #35089: Odd that, since there are only 'Difficulty' and 'Quality' ratings (!). It's not like we're on Amazon doing 'love it' or 'hate it'. If I don't get on with a grid I just don't do the ratings bit. (4 years ago)

Loved the word ending connection even though I didn’t get it right. (4 years ago)

Rick B @ #34876: @Tom - yeh, I know. It's a regular failing of mine. More fun to devise than to solve. @Nighteyes - I don't remember Nip, there was Nidd. Strangely, I originally had MC as one of the fictitious games, but got carried away with the obscure card games and dropped. Not surprising that you've not heard of the Covid terms I made them up. Mea culpa. (4 years ago)

Nighteyes @ #34876: As a dyed-in-the-wool devotee of all things Trek, I'm deeply embarrassed that I recognized Fizzbin, but could not remember where it was from. Now I'm reminded, it was "Piece of the action" I think. Was Nip (from Mornington Crescent) a deliberate red herring? I'd not heard of any of the Covid terms or any of the card games apart from pinochle. (4 years ago)

Ducky @ #34803: Hi Eddy, Thanks for such a polite explanation (seriously). The grid contains various features such as clues (e.g. IPCRESS), pseudo members of categories (e.g. Lanky Larry), hidden words and parts of things ; not unusual for grids, especially more difficult ones. It requires careful thought and strategy to make sense of all the available information. Although there is all sorts in there, at the end they will only fit 4 into each of the 4 categories. I think it's reasonable for me to think you would consider 'grid' as a type of puzzle, since you were playing a grid on a site called puzzgrid! I just open up grids and play whatever I find. It's fun and the flexibility is good for me:D (4 years ago)

Rick B @ #34852: @Jmelb - its not that much fun here, just a change of scenery. Waiter service, smaller range of beers, no standing at the bar, little atmosphere, early closing and worst of all the friends we usually see are vulnerable and not going out socially yet - just in their own little family bubbles. Distancing also makes those little casual chats with strangers unlikely if not impossible. : - ( (4 years ago)

eddytiger @ #34803: Some of the solutions and links seem far too tenuous. The novels and films contain only a word from a whole title, and not even the last word, making the difficulty appear to be more about how this puzzle is set up and not finding the links. I'd argue that a grid is not a puzzle, but something within which a puzzle can be contained also. (4 years ago)

Jmelb @ #34782: Wish I had thought of those misspellings! Actually I was going to tell TR6 that I was actually a lot more like Franky Doyle in Prisoner : D (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34782: I got a few, but knowing your preferences, I was lost in la la land, going with misspellings: Meryl Steep, Judy Drench, Jeremy Ions, Johnny Deep. (I even tired saying them in H&A accent to see if they made sense} Might try that on you later. PS I'm told I look like George Clooney, but the mirror says the only resemblance is that we both have faces. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34782: As I said earlier - like Home and Away (but I suppose its all the same). As Rick B says, you have much greater variation, it all sounds much the same here. ps, how do you know I don't look like her? (4 years, 1 month ago)

TR6 @ #34782: just 4/10 for me, I missed your deep trap. ty J ps [do you sound like Bea from Prisoner Cell Block H?] ;-)) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34774: Wrong side of the Pennines! English dialects are very localised e.g. I lived only 12 miles from Sheffield, but we called them DeeDars because they said Dee And dar where we said thee and thar (you and your). And for me at least, so long away that my accent has almost gone. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34774: Hopes that I was not alone dashed. I was, in my youth, a supporter of the Spireites. At least, the Terriers are in the League still. Fully expect this grid to be 1* - too niche for most and annoying for fans! (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #34771: Words in Oxford English Dictionary? That's a very weak link. Whereas the Woods group really was fun! (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34745: Nice grid but I think P, C, hard, good and lady could be in either group so no unique solution. Liked the hen group which I kicked myself for missing! Thanks for submitting (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34754: Not even the scent of pepe could get me anywhere near that. I knew hardly any of the TV, so couldn't complete lines. Still enjoyed trying - a novel idea. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34739: Enjoyed this because I have seen most of them! Hope others get the chance to do this. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34726: I will look for it. This has happened before, we would get the lowest mark and could only be seen if you adjust at the top to 1*. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #34746: The concept is no longer novel by itself, and these examples are starting to seem very contrived. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ducky @ #34689: Really enjoyed it. Needs an edit on the Wear group answers? - I got that line first and the answer gives the game away! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Gagalady @ #34692: Didn't accept a small c :( (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34684: It did. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34687: Disgraceful really. Remember that line "someday you'll drown in a vat of whisky" WC "Death where is thy sting". I think these guys were actual real alcoholics. Learned a lot reading WC girlfriend's book (Carlotta Monti), a difficult man. Did you read that book that said Errol was a secret nazi spy!!! (4 years, 1 month ago)

TR6 @ #34687: correct me if I'm wrong but didn't WC have his hooch brought to him in hospital hidden inside a teddy bear, whereas EF went on a "health" kick and had a crate of oranges sent to him on the film set where he injected each one with vodka? (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34687: I did not know that story - so sad. And bizarre. WC had some great anti-kid quotes "I like children-properly cooked". My favourite is the one about them hanging around street corners "reeking of lollipops" haha (4 years, 1 month ago)

TR6 @ #34687: It is nice to chat, I was watching a dvd of zorba the greek the other day and watched the "extras" so fascinating the connections i found out. We have referenced Cecil B before I that;s how I found that connection. We have also referenced WC Fields [notorious for dislike I was watching some DVDs lately ergo the hunch back theme of Jean de Florette and also Zorba The Greek where I discovered Anthony Quins relationship with Cecil B. We have also referenced WC Fields [notorious for not liking children] and it tragically turns out that Anthony Quinn's eldest son disappeared one day and was found to have crawled through neighbouring hedges into the grounds of the house next door and was found drowned in the pool of - WC Fields (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34687: Just checked - he did also have Sirocco, it was later named Karenita. Had a big crush on Errol, so read heaps about him ; ) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34687: Yes there was also a boat called Zaca. The boat might have been in Errol's book Beam Ends, or perhaps My Wicked Wicked Ways (read both). I have read The Moon's A Balloon but this was from EF book not DN. (4 years, 1 month ago)

TR6 @ #34687: The boat was called Zaca so.. (4 years, 1 month ago)

TR6 @ #34687: Quite possible I mis-remembered the book, should have checked first. Was it The Moon's a Balloon or Bring on The Empty Horses? (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34687: Loved it! So enjoyable. I might be wrong - but I thought Errol's boat was Sirocco and the beach house was Cirrhosis By The Sea? (neither here nor there). 5* (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34529: Officially 0, really 2 - I went with the actors rather than the series for Church of Despair and Mucky Henry. Also went for a guinness during the Scotch line because I hadn't translated them all. Those with guns line was really sneaky - bravo. Probably would have got them all with about 5 goes.

Tom @ #34381: I find these types of grids annoying. Unless you have seen or are very familiar with each film, you aren't going to solve them. The challenge of working out possible connections from a couple of possible links and the odd red herring is where the main satisfaction comes when you can complete them. Grids like this are purely a test of knowledge, and the lack of potential crossovers in particular is a shame. But still, you've done lots of other nice grids, so thanks very much for those!

Jmelb @ #34331: Ahh, right in my comfort zone. Quick but very enjoyable. Thanks! I feel inspired to go back to these! (ps it is Monroe) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Coldfeets @ #34318: Thank you. It was fun to put together. @CorenM 4PM glad you think so, there’s no point being too obscure, where’s the game? (4 years, 1 month ago)

Tilly @ #34334: I liked it (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34334: All about films, but being a buff isn't necessary. V. hard to predict the words for the groups, so mark yourselves. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29785: Nice grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34330: Got it, so pleased! Thanks lorna (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29787: Nice grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

Will.I.Aint @ #21861: Ha I loved that old show!! Good times!! (4 years, 1 month ago)

TheOtherBrewsky @ #34297: Ugh, 2/10. Loved the "V" group! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29790: The top actresses got me. (4 years, 1 month ago)

TheOtherBrewsky @ #34307: 6/10. Would have been 7 if I had done a better job of phrasing my answer for the "Jackalope" group! Didn't get the "Reynold" group but I loved finding out what it actually was. Thanks! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29791: Nice grid. Missed the animal anagrams (4 years, 1 month ago)

Tilly @ #34331: good film choices and good to see some of the "not so obvious" names included to add interest. I thought there was going to be another line based upon spelling, but only found 3 (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29795: Missed the insects. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29811: Can’t believe I didn’t see the animal set. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29811: Nice wall. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29811: Can’t believe I didn’t see the animal set. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29812: Lots of distractor for US presidents and vice. Enjoyed the grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Kuba @ #34322: I liked it! Not pointless at all, every group made perfect sense and it's different from the usual. It's labelled 'easy' for a reason, and within that category, it fits perfectly well! So thanks for making! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #29814: I agree the point about lower case but I enjoyed the wall. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ducky @ #34319: Sweet. Never going to get the cloud group but more to add to my to do list. (4 years, 1 month ago)

jms @ #34328: Really good (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34329: A comfortable 10. Nicely constructed. Never desperate enough for LC (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34328: Excellent. Got the gist, but got lost in the headline, no doubt as intended. Just missed out on time. I shall count myself as imaginative, rather than slow! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34330: Aaargh. Thought the beeline too obvious. Got the gist but ran out of time with max of three in the other lines. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34331: For film buffs (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34329: Kept dismissing Gonzo from the obvious because it's such a likely red herring! LOVED the opinionated group. Re- little chef- lucky escape, mate. I went pre- revamp. Still get flash backs :0 (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34318: All good. Only knew a couple in the Stinking Bishop and Giggleswick groups but all fair knowledge (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34327: love the autological group, genius (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34312: Enjoyed that! The mr chicken group beat me and no doubt a few others. Thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34328: Well- you know how I feel about these, Ducky. 5* as is your standard :) Hadn't heard of sparrow- hilarious! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34326: Would not get CL if I lived forever and I got bored(or rather they got me!) with the rest. Very well deceived. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34322: There are a lot of people calling for fun but easy grids; if you're enjoying yourself, knock yourself out, people can always just avoid them if they don't like them. I'm sure a lot of people appreciate the variety which these provide. Don't be put off :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Vincent Thinderfuzz @ #34315: ( . Y . ) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34324: I think it's safe to say that you're a full blown puzzgrid addict! The support group are here, if you need us! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34323: I enjoyed it but I agree not unique though- and as the names group are abbreviated, they could arguably swap with norm? Nice mix though, I do enjoy your grids (4 years, 1 month ago)

robert johnson @ #29775: the musician in me has to point out that its "blues" not "blue" (4 years, 1 month ago)

Devonian @ #34323: Good, except... not a unique solution, as Benevolent and Generous could be swapped around without affecting the groups. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34324: Gotta scratch that itch. If anyone played before amendment, apologies (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34318: Fun (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34322: Ooops. Starting to upset people, better stop now. But I could have got 2 or 3 more just from the Bs. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34323: Made me hungry! thanks Agree about Fy not working though. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34322: Nice vinyl collection (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ken @ #34322: Giving this one star as not possible to give zero. Absolutely pointless grid. Everything is the same category and there's no challenge at all even for those with little knowledge of the one category. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34323: Fy starts with F!! Too tricksy. Was looking for something like that, but didn't spot it. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30398: Liked the theme but easy when you spot it. Could there be any distractor? (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30399: Did not know the Bieber singles. Like the Disney titles. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30400: Missed hosts. Like the French set. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30402: So many sleep distractor. Missed the add letters to make words. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30403: No distractor so quite easy. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30407: Had the chest set down as cases rather than containers and the Josephine set as songs. Nice grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30409: Nice grid. Thought the ballet term just French borrowings. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34308: I prefer the older ones, more complex/ambiguous stories and (from memory) more detailed animation. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #30410: Rivers and supermarkets were difficult. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34318: Nice one (4 years, 1 month ago)

Georgia @ #34280: Good grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34312: Love the triffids bit! Got caught in the trap of looking for one common word per group, having got 2 easiest ones first- very tricky! Nice ideas, thanks :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34310: lovely wordplay- tripped up on my poor celeb knowledge thanks j x (4 years, 1 month ago)

PGFan @ #34236: Shocking spelling.... but Wishes group good. The eyelash one is where if you see a stray eyelash on someone's cheek you take it off and then blow it off your finger and make a wish. Obviously don't do this with strangers, work colleagues, bank manager, cashier at the corner shop... ;) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34311: Really enjoyable but super hard- had 5 secs left- because technically there isn't a unique solution- you could swap oil and spray arguably? But I really loved the theme, the idea and the references- top effort :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

TR6 @ #34312: @ Rick B - yup, but you'd have to pay again and again, and a.... well you get the picture. Thank you for playing and your feedback. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34309: nice j thanks x (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34312: I would pay to see G of the T. Some of the others don't work so well, but brilliant idea esp. Then came Ron. (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #34295: Too contrived for my liking. (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #17271: Nice wall, not too difficult - sweet answer took a while to click. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Kuba @ #34307: Excellent! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #31046: Like the opposite ranks set. I thought chords would be acceptable for the musical intervals. Again musical instruments was clever. Great grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #34300: Did my head in looking for more us presidents (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34306: Sad that I might even think about it, but isn't there a D character called Star? which makes chips and starch interchangeable. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Maggot @ #34291: 7/10 excellent quiz just fell at the last chirk... (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #31049: Love the alphabetical orde (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34305: if you find this- obviously just testing the parameters of new increased characters- seems that there's some overspill, but works ok with gaps between each word regular enough to be on a line. This is not a grid for playing, but hopefully the experiment is useful to you (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #31056: Did not know the Kinks. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34301: haha, you must have been on your back to see that on the roof! It is a big challenge to keep coming up with ideas. First, don't lose ideas, jot them down straight away. Check out really old grids because one idea can lead to another. Try googling? I think we all find it hard at times : ( (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #31059: Like the country set. Good distractions (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34294: Just experimented- typed 36 characters into a box! Don't think they'd all fit in the grid, but have a play, see what you get. May be a site update? :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34301: @jmelb I've only been dong this for a few weeks and its becoming hard not to think in grids. This one all sprang from a beermat stuck to the ceiling of the pub I was in this evening, advertising Albert Ross beer. Are there any help groups you can recommend?! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34294: yeah TR6- it's weird but I'd planned out 24, then ended up getting about 28 when I typed them in (prob why they spill over)- not sure if it's a new thing or I just got lucky! It certainly helped (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34301: 10, even though I got one by default, thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34303: 6/10. Solved the grid by luck, I didn't get within sniffing distance of the bloom and Francis et al are no friends of mine. Nice grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34300: Loved it thanks. You are always a 5* (4 years, 1 month ago)

LetMeOut @ #34179: Joe - I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm honeslty not that clever, I had to google all these groups. Just thought some of the proper quiz enthusiast may find it a good challenge so tried to make it really difficult to get them really puzzling. Sorry if I missed the mark. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ducky @ #34223: I really like resolving these, even though it can be hard for you to select scoring criteria. This one was very easy for me! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ducky @ #34224: Very interesting. Some difficult connections, but then, for those who are really brilliant at them, that's sometimes necessary. And a solid underlying structure. Nice (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34273: Oops, subject lines probably a bit too familiar to me : D (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ducky @ #34243: Enjoyed watching the structure unfold. Also got two of the four but I like getting these interesting snippets in the things I don't know. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ducky @ #34225: Nice grid, Rick B. On similar ideas - I've seen lots of themes 'recycled' over the years on grids, or built on, to good effect. I nicked my usual format from Lorna. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34247: Scratched head on connections for Jurassic line, but didn't get it. Well played. (4 years, 1 month ago)

ej @ #34219: Nice grid! A few nice red herrings :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

ej @ #34227: I think it's khaki (as in khaki trousers). Some serious answer issues on this grid (maybe this site, not your input!) Trousers was rejected. Nice grid otherwise! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #34236: I think you've got a few spelling mistakes in there (dinghy, yacht) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #34236: Whether homophones or misspellings I liked them for not being too straightforward. Didn't know in what ritual eyelashes are involved, closing eyes maybe... (4 years, 1 month ago)

ej @ #34236: A few spelling issues, which threw me! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Anon @ #34221: Terrible... (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34222: Jack they are the red herrings (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34227: some good crossovers- is kharki the correct spelling? there's a village in India- so is that how it should be or is it just a typo? genuinely curious! :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #34236: Very good (4 years, 1 month ago)

Pale Fisher @ #34227: What is kharki? (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34224: brilliant concept- the shop line was my favourite (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #238: Good wall, well designed. Replica slightly iffy as it is noun not a verb like the others. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34221: saw raw and rare and spent time looking for blue etc. Lots of berry crossovers, energy threw me- good work :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #573: Enjoyable wall, not too difficult once you get the theme. (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #10899: Nice wall, not too difficult once you got the theme. I liked the spotty dog clue, being British and because of my age...... (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jack @ #34222: The Thin -- Line and -- Heat don't really work as there is a red variant of both. Dragon is particular bad as there are films with all the colours. So really doesn't work as grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34211: Very good! Enjoyed that :) I thought County might be a red herring as it’s not preceded by the same word as the rest, but there is a good connection all the same. Thanks :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #34225: Yes! I didn't have similar ideas to 34001 - but I certainly see similar things turn up before or after I have done them. I am probably doing it too without realising. So many concepts must have already been thought of. Still fun trying though : ) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #31588: Clever homonyms (4 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #28408: Pretty good and very easy to see what the 4 groups are. The only problem with it is you pretty much have to know every single clue. Normally with a wall, if there's a couple of things you don't know you can deduce them by fitting them into the most reasonable group. With this one, because all the answers are numbers that are close together you basically have to just know all 16 clues. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #6140: To those saying they answered 'Queen' and think they should get a point for that: no way. They are specifically words mentioned in Bohemian Rhapsody. Anything less than that does not deserve points. Also, to those mentioned specific rows (top row for example). Use your brain. The rows order is based on the order you answered in and will therefore (obviously) be different for everybody. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Brian @ #34084: Very good - thx (4 years, 1 month ago)

Lawner @ #34066: I think the author is well known enough to not be considered niche; and, of course, it helps with the Norwegian Wood red herring. (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #34088: Oh very good. If I may say, I think this is your best grid so far, or at the very least, my favourite. Thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33927: Wow- I'm genuinely impressed with this, if it's truly authentic- well done and thank you! I've tried not to take negativity to heart as I kind of got the impresion that that was what was going on- and I had noticed an attitude change- it takes a big person, so thank you! This ought to be a safe space, if you have problems, we're here to provide a distraction- bit of mental exercise, and hopefully support. Thanks again! (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby/joe @ #34086: Completely flummoxed me... never heard of a new broom or the colonels, before my time... good grid! (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #34086: Some nice little red herrings there. Thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby/joe @ #33927: I'm going to quit the rude trolling... sorry everyone. I'm taking out my inner turmoil on others, very immature and counter productive. I'll start contributing positively to this site (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #32235: A bit cheeky to have two herb groups. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33927: Not incensed, joe/ George- just a big fan of HippyHoppy's lovely sunny approach to the site- we need more like that- and didn't want them put off from joining in whenever they like as I for one am always very grateful. It seemed a bit unfair and rude- it's only clutter if it's not wanted, but I do appreciate very much the fact that you apologised to HippyHoppy, that was big of you, so thank you :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #32236: The studs got me, (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #34084: Glad you resisted McNuggets :-) (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #33927: Sorry HippyHoppy!!! you wrote alot of positive comments on my previous grids, apologies. Shame on me? get a grip, wish i had a life where i became incensed by a minor criticism delivered to someone else on an anonymous puzzle website. (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #34084: Liked that grid [although you were asking for more than the [accepted] answer I gave. Avid fan of TTDF. Thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

Lorna @ #34082: (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34083: Especially when certain names are also red herrings (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33927: Shame on you joe for having a pop at one of the nicest people on this website, totally unnecessary! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Colin @ #34081: (4 years, 1 month ago)

Maggot @ #34084: 7/10 nice wall. Thought Saxo Bank might have been something you run up regularly! (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34083: Not bizarre in the billy joel case. The song lists many, many, many people therefore too random to tell from just four (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34084: loved the try group (4 years, 1 month ago)

Sam @ #34056: Nice. Ty. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34083: I can't usually do names grids but this had discrete enough groups to be manageable- despite not knowing the songs off by heart- lots of guessing involved but still a fun challenge, thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

PGFan @ #34083: Bizarre criticism. I knew the Madonna lyrics straight away; it's an iconic song (and the Billy Joel one is pretty famous too...) so not sure what you mean by 'too specific'. I was bamboozled by Alexander Hamilton - convinced there were Musicals in there somewhere, so well done, enjoyed it, good solid wall. (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33680: Sort of knew where you were going but couldn't quite fit the pieces. Thanks Lorna (4 years, 1 month ago)

Colin @ #34082: (4 years, 1 month ago)

Dev @ #34062: Nice one, fell straight into the Hogwarts houses trap! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #34083: The lyrics ones are great! I love how specific they are. Perfect for sharing in grids like this with lots of other names, creates lots of nice red herring groups. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Colin @ #34083: (4 years, 1 month ago)

Colin @ #34084: (4 years, 1 month ago)

Sam @ #34074: Good quiz. Ty. (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34083: the lyrics ones are pretty ridiculous, wayyyyyyy too specific - doesn't seem fit for public consumption (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34060: Ah. Ta (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34066: Didn’t get the 1Q84 group even when revealed. Maybe it’s niche or maybe it’s just another gap in my knowledge! Guessed the anthrax group from that name alone :) Good grid, thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #34065: Really good grid, 5* from me despite getting 0/10! I just couldn’t quite finish each group and missed the car group link. Well played! :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #34077: @ Dev nay! same as in "put wood int thoil" i.e. Yorkshire for put the wood in the hole or "close the door" (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #34081: thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34082: good, Lulu was good misdirection although it shows your age lol (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34068: So clever! I quite liked the music in music one- good camouflage as I tried, then dismissed that group for ages! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34067: Informative and good misdirection (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34059: Another good one Lorna... although surprisingly my Aztec mythology isn't too good. Quetzalcoatlus is an interesting looking thing... (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34062: fun, especially the Eddie the Eagle chatter, which made me laugh! Yes, ski jumper :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34081: The Sims and PCP, regular monday for me (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34075: Although the stint group was really hard to get, I admire the idea behind it, so clever, clues right there in plain view, so fair play! Got the thread but not the group as I was trying to decode the whole grid after those and missed the hidden words/ homophones! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Dev @ #34077: Cakeoil, surely you mean cake hole... (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #34074: 5* from me SmileyMiley- some of my favourite books etc. in here, right up my street and really well woven together thank you :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34074: @rekkeddecho (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34074: 'As long as they fit ' this attitude is exactly the problem i'm talking about. All repulsively ungraceful, obtuse etc. grids concur with your sentiments (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #34074: Great wall. Annoyed I didn't spot the water link, other than that did ok. I'm guessing George is just taking out his inability to solve some walls on the people who set them. Surely, railroading words into categories is what this game is all about??? You can't just randomly pick any old stuff can you. As long as they fit then their fair game. (4 years, 1 month ago)

nordloc @ #34068: Fun puzzle, although it's a bit weird hiding an instrument inside an instrument. Might as well say 'spanish guitar' has the word 'guitar' hidden in it. (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33884: Great fun! (Again 🤣!) (4 years, 1 month ago)

George Lazenby @ #34074: You're far from the exception though, most grids on this site are just ridiculous with words railroaded into fitting into already decided categories/solutions with no thought for the puzzle taker. (4 years, 1 month ago)

bertie @ #34074: 7/10, good wall (let down by my film knowledge). No idea what George is complaining about? (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33984: One of those odd ones that is harder the more (characters) you know, straightforward if you don't! Thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33983: Brill! (fnar fnar) I thought maybe biblical names was in there- Eli- but then spotted the other girls. Nice! (4 years, 1 month ago)

soozy @ #33982: Nice one ty (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33982: Bit tricky (for you) to include names like Jackson, Brown, Jones- bit too easily swappable? But I did enjoy this one a lot! (4 years, 1 month ago)

MikeD @ #33986: Sorry. I meant this to be a US Grid >.> (4 years, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #33960: Nice grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33980: Bested me. (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33985: very good (4 years, 1 month ago)

Raffles @ #33858: Didn't get the Paradoxes group (4 years, 1 month ago)

mt @ #32207: Ha ha, liked the yamaha group! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Raffles @ #33975: Exactly same thoughts as CorenM 4PM ! (4 years, 1 month ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33962: @Lorna. Not at all. Always happy to get feedback/edits. It’s how you get better! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Richard @ #33979: Guessed anagrams (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #17376: Good wall - couple of things a bit obscure, but finally cracked it without quite enough time to get the final lines in. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33974: Took one look and gave up. Hard - looks good though! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33975: ingen line really foxed me, very good thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33977: Doh! I must be tired! : ) (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33977: boors/boers silly pun (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #28219: Difficult wall, some clues a bit iffy. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33977: reckkedgecho, that is why I said the sound of B rather than just B stj ?? South Africa (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33972: yes its a rich vein, lots more grids with names possible (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33979: Got it through some good guessing. Thanks for submitting (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #368: Good wall, medium difficulty, enjoyable (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #8880: Nice medium wall, not too difficult but enjoyable. (4 years, 1 month ago)

me @ #8769: Good wall, but 'facial features' not accepted - don't really want to complain on such a good (and free) site but it is a common problem. (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33974: Lovely! 5* thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #33974: e-mail? that's what we used to say when t' post arrived (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33976: Beat me! Pleased with myself for getting the Bill Murray group but that was all I got. Well played (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33978: I just saw ale cask sizes in UK gallons Kilderkin, Barrel, Hogshead and Tun. (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33975: Enjoyable! Very chuffed with myself for spotting the canyonero group (“the Cadillac of automobiles”) :) And I learnt something interesting about London, thanks :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33962: The thunder hit us on the south coast too :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33965: Really well crafted and not quite as easy as it first looked! I am a sucker for spotting a pattern and sticking to it:) 5* again, great stuff (4 years, 1 month ago)

Zirguit @ #33960: Very good, kicked myself missing a couple of now obvious links! Thanks! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33978: Got the periodic group then kicked myself for not playing around with numbers first! Maybe accept metal? Super hard, good for maths buffs though. (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33962: Well done and easy enough. Weather is a touchy subject though - in North Devon we had Thunderstorms all day yesterday while the rest of the country was glorious! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #28362: You playing the archives, Mr Tom? :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33962: Hope you didn't mind the edit advice? Nice grid but made me want an Ice- cream! Feeling the heat a bit too- we've had thunder in Devon :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33977: What have the S Africans done to upset you? Your knowledge of music is far wider than mine. Nice red herrings and word play. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33977: lovely hidden words (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33976: Is it happening again? - Anyway excellent! my knowledge of wrap is non existent. I thought there was something fishy going on but thought it was caroline, wasn't so though nah! cant be, hooked me good thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #33977: Not bad. The performers group doesn't really work as for two of them you've replaced one letter, for one of them you've replaced two letters, and for the final one you haven't actually replaced a letter you've just added one on. So the rule isn't consistent across the set. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33975: brilliant, quite hard- knew what I was looking for and still struggled! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33977: **Please adjust to *1 star as some grids are going straight to that page (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33976: **Please adjust to *1 star as some grids are going straight to that page (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33972: I got a few of those, some I missed. Good work (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33972: I got a few of those, some I missed. Good work (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33974: so funny! :D (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33972: Tough one, so many other possibilities Georgie Girl, Billie Jean etc,etc. JB and Bob, sorry not heard of, plus I misspelled soozy. Good one J (4 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #28362: But what does Pan have to do with - aaaaaaand then the penny dropped. Brilliant stuff (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33956: How annoying. Give the bank a ring ... be on hold for half an hour ... then hopefully they will sort it. Will post a grid to cheer you up (hopefully) (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33956: @Jmelb - was trying to book a food delivery from my local Morrisons on line last night {isolation purposes] and had the dickens of a time trying to pay, now my credit card has been blocked. Looks as though the Gods of Karma are trying to tell me to stop having fun :-( Oh well worse things happen at sea. :-) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33956: We'll be expecting a lot of grids from you over the next 2 weeks then! (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33962: Great fun start to my morning ty! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Caz @ #33938: Good grid, but tomato isn't a vegetable. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Rick B @ #33962: Lovely. Very topical and about all an overheated brain can cope with, I think whatever you switched has made it easier. (4 years, 1 month ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33962: @Lorna duh 🤦‍♀️ I blame the weather!!! I switched them both out now Thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Narrow Neck @ #33966: Great grid thanks. I solved it with 4 seconds left. (4 years, 1 month ago)

DH @ #33960: really good (4 years, 1 month ago)

bloss @ #33965: great combination of clues. I got the acrostics this time! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ma @ #27982: Tough but fair. Wasn't close to getting clergy = 1st, and I was stuck for two long thinking A and Honey were both in an 'end of Radiohead albums' category, despite no others fitting. Nice grid, thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ma @ #32313: Tough but fun. Didn't manage to get the Whoopi group but solved the wall by guessing that Fitzgerald was the likeliest bartender out of the remaining 5. Nice categories ideas (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33960: Managed half, thanks for posting (4 years, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #33908: With Trick in another group, I'm surprised you didn't put Treat in the Hank group. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30060: I'm pretty sure i wrote shoe designers and didn't get credit (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30070: Very hard to describe answers, I knew them all but only got credit for mustaches (4 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #33934: 10 with 37s left. Aren't you worried about making it too easy? And THAT ladies and gentlemen, is how you do sarcasm. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Nighteyes @ #33965: I got two acrostics after the first was explained. There is still a faint echo of the sound of my hand hitting my forehead as I wondered how I did not see it earlier. With three of them out of the way, you'd think I would have spotted the hidden words. Yeah, you'd think... Anyway, brilliant as usual. Thanks Lorna. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30434: Yeah for sure add currencies (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30435: Seems like you should take "died young" (4 years, 1 month ago)

AF @ #733: Nice fifth group among the answers ! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33962: As in- if you can swap them then the grid doesn't have a unique solution- maybe if you had something like all/ severe/ bad/ raw/ cold in the weather group? Then the categories are discrete, although you lose a herring. It's an easy mistake- I just had to do a quick edit too! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30573: Yeah I like the concept and figured out what it was but couldn't get any groups in time (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33966: Loved it, I was thinking Hey Joe by Hendrix and I had Souxie and the banshees for the 'Dear' then 'paloma' for don;t cry by Prince. Thanks J (4 years, 1 month ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33962: @Lorna yes - that would work better probably. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Omegaman @ #32358: Disagree with the synonym group but they are all coastal features. (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #19631: I feel uncomfortable with this grid. Distasteful to have Adolf Hitler even in a fun game, as "hero". (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33956: Yes, the full story is there (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30775: Gotta allow ee as an answer (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #9590: Fun grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33956: Are you on holiday? Lucky! Had a chuckle on the 'living' line (not much fun). (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #30872: Square is weak for that category too, can apply to any any distance measurement and doesn't really make it a different thing (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33965: thank you j! g'night! (morning) :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

mt @ #33960: Nice. thanks. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33965: So well crafted, must take you ages, hats off! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33962: very enjoyable- swap hot and tropical though? Nice theme! :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33963: thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33962: I am guessing this is alluding to your weather at the moment. Gosh that is pleasant Summer weather in Melbourne hehe : D I would love a bit of your weather right now ( although I do hate it when it gets over 110 and sits there for a few days) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33961: Boggled again but it tests me to try, thanks lorna : ) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33955: Enjoyed the red herrings, thanks! ... and yes, hippyhoppy, always something nice to say thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33962: 😎🤣😎🤣😎 (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #643: Nicegrid (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33798: Good fun grid. (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33943: Nice one (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33946: just looked and mrs the great was there? (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33946: Played again ....could only see "Mrs" not "Mrs the great"....Myscreen, or a glitch...? (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33947: Nice grid! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ade @ #33931: Good grid. Clever and doable. Thanks D (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33948: Good fun! (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33958: Nice one! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33955: HippyHoppy- if anyone doesn't come across as needing cheering up... ;) But if you do, again, thank you for an unfaltering sunny approach which we all really appreciate! You're a big part of what makes the site a good place to be :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33934: Already done it! ;P I liked your grid- are you new or have you submitted before? If so I'll have a look for you (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33955: Lovely grid!! Cheered me up! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33960: Wonderful grid, thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #33958: 1* for difficulty ;-p. Arguably there's no unique solution because of Gerhard Sock (the head of the butchers guild in the city watch stories) and Denephew Boot (in a footnote somewhere). City watch is a better group than just discworld characters of course but personally I try to avoid that sort of thing. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #33955: nice (4 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #33934: Not an easy one to replace either... (4 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #33958: Wots discworld? (4 years, 1 month ago)

brian @ #33943: enjoyable (4 years, 1 month ago)

Zirguit @ #33947: It's all about the crossovers for me! (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33952: Well I had to try at least one :] (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33934: No you're right, Mr Tom- I took it out, went away, forgot, put it back! I'l have a rethink and an edit. Thank you, sharp eyes! :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33947: nice crossovers (4 years, 1 month ago)

anon @ #33944: Nice misdirection. We scored zero, but laughed like drains when we saw the answers. Thank you. (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33955: Nice! (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33956: # A bit of self indulgence, please ignore (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33948: Very nice indeed, lots of herrings and cross overs, only one not heard of before was "pound"land. wd & ty (4 years, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #33930: Nice grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33949: Nicely done. Danvers line jumped out. Knew enough from the other lines to piece together. Enjoyed the detective work, thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33947: It's a good grid, I know it is part of the grid and ties with the animals but as an ex, I do not like the derogatory term. Plus on a side did you know that the Cu term was originally from New York when there were multiple forces and one was termed by the Cu buttons they wore. Not having a moan honestly. Thank you Zirguit (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33945: Famous Roses? Famous Allens? Rices - Jasmine and Vesta?! :) Beat me hands down! Well played. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #33934: Very clever... except that you can swap rat and ram. (Arguable maybe, but there you are) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33947: thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #33944: Nice grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33952: fixed (4 years, 1 month ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33947: Good crossovers. Thought I’d seen a _star group and got waylaid. Thanks :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33945: Damn your eyes woman! hehe. HIlda & Arthur "Mullard" your the one that I want, chasing Bakers all over the place and as for ASPIDISTRA -there is only one thought that comes into ones head when you see that. Loved it, loved it, loved it Thank you J - My score? 1/10 for "Tilly" naturally. (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33944: Yup! hook line and sinker. 4/10 for me thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33946: stylish and fun thanks (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33946: Yay, got it! I like your pattern. (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33943: thanks for all, j :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33944: Clever and enjoyable thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33944: So lovely to see you back! Spotted it straight away, very straightforward from there- but only, I think, because I think like you! Thanks :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33945: ** a bit niche but give it go! (4 years, 1 month ago)

kitty @ #33884: Like the idea but going from a single word link for 3/4 to a theme (marriage/chapel/wedding) feels like a real cheat, like you broke your own rules. Annoying! (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33943: I enjoy these. Ty (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33941: 7/10, I found names Fil, Lil, Les & Lea - oh well. Thanks J (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33940: Very popular books and yes it was a tv show (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33940: 7/10 I think I remember watching her on TV years and years ago but I have never read. Happy with this grid ty (4 years, 1 month ago)

jms @ #33943: Nice and easy..enjoyable grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33934: Took me a couple of refreshes to see a pattern, still could not get the verb. Very good indeed 5* (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33942: 1/10 for me. Feeling a little depressed that I [as a man, approaching retirement age 35 - I'm rich - not on either count] the only line I found were the periodicals. I changed letters on two of the four but chose the wrong letters. Thanks LittleQuill [both sincerely and ruefully} (4 years, 1 month ago)

bloss @ #33934: I felt silly for not spotting this! (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ma @ #33534: Sorry, but disagree with Lorna: I don't think these categories are fair. The general and degrees groups both lack grammatical consistency. Hannibal is not known as "General Hannibal" while GE isn't a general. And BA is a type of degree, burns are categorized as degrees, and arc and freedom are 'degrees of___' The A-Team red herring was very nice though. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Ma @ #33718: Nice grid, and a couple of solid red herrings. Yoga poses took me a moment, as did trying to work out what kind of fly only likes butter, before it clicked. (4 years, 1 month ago)

Saul @ #33045: I loved this one...funny I was only able to get one of them (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33889: j we think you're great! stjohn (or any crypt fans) if you've got time for the archives, there's truecockney- doing cryptics before I was, and an inspiration. Gridlington, good alt/ cryptics. Also recommend Bindipper- trad but with that edge :) (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33928: thank you Mike (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33933: nice (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33889: Same back, EthelQ, thanks for your grids! (4 years, 1 month ago)

HippyHoppy @ #31532: Great fun. But "musical terms" not accepted - probably remove "tempo" ("piano" is soft not a tempo). (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33931: Excellent! Took me a long time untangling the Wun Weg group, fantastic grid (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33930: Brilliant! Very enjoyable, despite the fact that I know have the go compare singer stuck in my head :/ (4 years, 1 month ago)

stjohn @ #33889: I should like to echo the comments from Lorna. As she says Nighteyes was the kindly mentor when she first taking part, so when I joined PuzzGrid at the start of lock down in March/Apr, my adopted mentor was soozy, who was before me mentored by Lorna and if I may say Jmelb [the real J] has also taken to you. This baton has been passed on you say from Nighteyes [and from his/her predecessors?]. There are some really good people here and some really good new[ish] setters Yerum, Ducky and Kuba [to name but a few] as well as stalwarts such as LittleQuill and SmileyMiley. Apologies if I have left anyone out. To conclude, thank you (4 years, 1 month ago)

Jmelb @ #33926: thanks and yes I did. I put both words "real' and 'nom de plume" in the description - however when I cut and pasted to make the second grid, I think half the description disappeared! Cant seem to put a foot right. I think I will just draw a veil over this weekend and head off to bed. Won't try to post any more tonight! As Scarlett would say "tomorow is another day" ; D (4 years, 1 month ago)

. @ #33926: b*ll ache but I edited and put a single line in each section and "sorry -error with grid" in description line. Then I went on to the grid a few times and marked it 1* [ironic] so it left the front page (4 years, 1 month ago)

Would it be cheeky- if you don't already, to ask you to offer the same courtesy to jmelb and stjohn? I think Kuba and Dan may also have been trolled.

lorna @ #33883: Probably stjohn- I tend to fill in as many acceptable words as I can think of- I set hard grids but I'm not a tough scorer! (4 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #33889: hi All- Jmelb, st john and I are being trolled, so that we do not appear on the front page (3*+) I don't give a rats about my score, but it's a shame if all our hard work goes unplayed- I think people should have a choice. Please play the grids and rate them- fairly. To those who don't like them, please just avoid ours, rather than bullying people off the site- be a grown up and learn to share- there are plenty of grids for all tastes, leave each to their own.

Ducky @ #33842: Just dropped in before bedtime. I did this earlier and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure why easier and more lighthearted grids are often rated lower. Surely people like something a bit less mind bending from time to time. (I thought StJohn was master techno wizard when he found my grid a few days ago, until I found the filters:D:D Still grateful!) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33859: Crafty, stjohn! I will have a look at way of finding grids-wasnt aware of that. Actually I probably will just let the troll take my score down though and adopt lorna's view about not caring. It would be letting them win. If anyone likes my grid I am happy if they just say so and I will ignore the rest. These are a bit of a lifesaver at the moment being indoors all the time. Hugs back to you lorna. And btw Stjohn I sometimes think your grids dont get the stars they deserve either. I will do my test grid in your orning and see what happens. Thanks for both your help x (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33859: Oh this grid? yup a toughie, this one took time [I'm trying to impress Lorna] She is my inspiration and aspiration. I had to leave this afernoon, sit in the sun and read a cr*ppy holiday book to take my mind off it Thanks J (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33859: My pleasure - to J have you clicked on the drop down box whrn selecting 'Browse Grids' There are more drop down boxes here allowing you to choose the difficulty level etc and one with the 3* rating. Click on that and select 1* if your grid seems to have disappeared. I am not underline not advocating manipulating the score by playing your own grid and awarding it 5* as many times as it takes to raise the * level to at least 3. You [not I of course ] would have to do that numerous times. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33859: Yeah j- I've seen some of my favourite setters get 3*, whilst a non- unique grid, or an easy as wee one with zero crossovers gets a 4. It isn't fair, but I've learned to care less about stars and more about little exchanges like this- the few of us who give each other a bit of appreciation- setters or players- and the fact that we can have a good fun game from half the world away whilst stuck indoors!

Jmelb @ #33859: Thanks lorna - I am flattered! Can you actually still see them? For me they are not visible at all. (ps I have seen Kubas and I know they are great quality) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33859: same thing seems to have happened to Kuba and Dan- low scores on great grids (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33859: I highly recommend jmelb's grids to anyone who didn't get a chance to see them- please do seek them out (the numbers below), and do give them a fair score- it looks like she has been unfairly marked down on some really great grids- it would be a shame if you missed playing them because of this! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33859: thanks lorna, they are 33850, 33845, 33844, 33842. It is morning here and I noticed they disappeared overnight. They originally disappeared yesterday after I first sumbitted them and I had to redo them. Now the second lot have disappeared. I wondered if they are only invisible to me? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33859: j- some of your grids are on the 2 stars list, despite being excellent- someone has marked you down without being decent enough to say why! I'm not sure if it is all of the grids which you are missing? It's a real shame and a drawback of the scoring system on this site, you're an excellent grid maker and deserve better than that, I'm sorry love. :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33859: Great- had 30 secs left despite not getting every reference- the discreet grouping and anagrams were enough, so it was satisfying :) j- what numbers are missing? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33858: Brilliant! I love mead. Only heard of 2 of the paradoxes, but it gave me the group. Nice work :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #33856: Good one ! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #14462: Excellent grid. Solved it, but missed the gov't agencies connection. Strong red herrings. Nicely done! (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33766: Fun! (4 years, 2 months ago)

daxw @ #33823: Good one. I put 'bedroom' for last group . . .which *maybe* should be accepted? Nevermind. good grid :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33805: Predictably, I got the 'founding' line. 2 more were doable but I never quite know what you're going to throw at us so there's a lot to consider and I'm not that quick. Never going to get the 'A man' line anyway as hopeless at those and that line was a humdinger! I understood the explanations, although I understood why Clark didn't. Sounds like you were intellectually buzzing! A fine grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33854: @stjohn #phew (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33854: No - no typo I was [emphasis on was] thinking Johnathan and Humble were in wrong sections. As I said brilliant but touched with cruelty👌 (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33854: I can't see a typo SmileyMiley (4 years, 2 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33856: Nice mix of well know and obscure. Fun wall. Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33854: Thanks all! @StJohn I hope there isn't a typo as I forgot to put my email address in!! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33853: Wow another fine grid, I got them all except the D100 etc still not sure what you meant in the description. Don't post an answer, let the grid amuse others as I'm sure it will. Ty Kuba (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33853: That's to both Kuba and Ducky :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33853: By the way- would it be cheeky to ask what you think of 33805? I think you'll get it! (4 years, 2 months ago)

ej @ #33854: Haha, smart and tricky to unravel! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33853: Loved it! Flummoxed by the two less obvious lines. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33831: Amen! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33854: Lorna says brilliant, I say down right cruel. Never knew you to have an evil streak in you Smiley! Thought you must have made a typo error. So - I will have to concur with Lorna - brilliant piece of trickery. 5* thank you :-)) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33856: Not too difficult at all, and a lot of fun, and I am definitely NOT a film buff! Still playable and accessible, thanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33853: Brilliant 5*- I scrabbled about on some of the right lines, but alas, failure! Really, really clever work- felt a bit like trying to do a jigsaw on the reverse! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33830: Really enjoyed it. Realising what was going on and still having to work to see some of them, then the underlying connections were pitched just right. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33854: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33850: Excellent wordplay, quite tricksy, couple got me and I'd dismissed the transposed letters theory because I didn't think to remove anything- very well played! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33831: I'm with you there, Kuba. Nice grid - again (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33851: Brilliant grid- 5* so much meaning and I loved the way you worked in the link clue words. Have a fantastic time doing the Ingleborough thing! Beautiful vids, very calming , thanks! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33831: Thank you stjohn! It's mostly a matter of me not having great 'general knowledge', so I prefer to do and make grids that rely more on creative thinking and logic :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33790: there were a few easy words lying around to add hints ie chat, kind, barn - and a bit of schoolgirl/boy French and Latin lend a hand too (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33842: Very happy with easy:) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33843: Happily amused myself finding non existent links! Nice one (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33845: love this format- I found this one hard too! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33839: clap clap! wd., Was a avid reader of the chronicles as a child and the introduction of Jadis gave me the willies. I ward the "contest" an honourable draw. LW &W was the first book written and Magician's Nephew first chronologically or prequel. So very enjoyable thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Rekkedgecho @ #33819: Fair point on lyrics. I've changed it to accept that now. Thanks for the constructive feedback Brian, I really understand what you didn't like about it now! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33842: thanks j easy but still a lot of fun (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33839: Terrific concept- I love it- one thing is I'm not sure if the LW and the W is the best fit for the group- a bit ambiguous- it was the first of the series written and it is recommended as the introductory book but chronologically the Magician's Nephew is the first of the series- I know that when I had the collection as a kid it had the number one on it. Sorry if it's a bit pedantic! Really great concept for a grid, I'd love to see more like this :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33850: I knew there was no such word as "Imprave" and you proved me right. Nice lexi type grid Ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33845: agreed on that one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33845: Oh I knew 3 of the 4 peeps songs on the reveal just couldn't put the link together. Have just seen OJ have not heard that before and after 20secs I know I will not listen to that again. (4 years, 2 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #33816: Thanks for the comments! In retrospect, yes, I agree with you, Maartje, that the Latin connection was way too broad. I was trying to have a group that could have included gratis and suicide. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33844: That's right! haha! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33843: right daxw-fixed now, sorry stjohn they all disappeared so I had to resubmit - not sure what has happened! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maartje @ #33816: Lovely links with great red herrings until.... Words derived from Latin, covers 60% of the English language! It is more unusual that they all contain the letter c.

Ma @ #16102: Nice grid with some great red herrings. And I was thinking shampoo brands for far too long. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #16584: Nice grid! Spotted crew cut at the last minute, and solved with 4 seconds to spare. Was trying endless Toy Story combos before that. (4 years, 2 months ago)

ej @ #29897: Answers are playing up again. I had the exact wording for one and it said no! Couple of spelling mistakes in grid which threw me at first. (4 years, 2 months ago)

ej @ #29905: Very nice; neat and tidy! (4 years, 2 months ago)

ej @ #29906: Nice. Yes an explanation of the answers wd have been extra nice, but an enjoyable grid and idea :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #33823: That was brilliant Kuba. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33821: Nicely discrete categories (4 years, 2 months ago)

EThelQ @ #33802: Loved this - and you didn't even include 58008 (4 years, 2 months ago)

alicesuckz @ #33788: 10/10. Very clever and interesting wall. Very enjoyable and fun. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33830: Blonde?hell clued me : D Another fab entertaining one. Thanks stjohn! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33818: Don't think I've thanked you yet for your grids. Always play them. Thanks:) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Wtf @ #33807: Popular Melbourne pubs - ymbj (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33830: Really fun- not supposed to be perfect homophones, I see that- I actually think that made it more fun as they would have been less challenging. I wonder will people complain anyway?! ;) Imaginitive and enjoyable, thanks :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33823: Excellent and great fun (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33805: The connections are: "father" can go before or after the word ie Founding father/ father in law; they contain a hidden jewel eg myocarDIA MONDay; they are all anagrams of each other (source words are mister Jonathan Small but that is not necessary for the link or the points); and they are all signs symbolising the number four. The aptograms/ hidden word phrases etc. are references to the book "The SIgn of Four": a Sherlock Holmes story by Arthur Conan Doyle. The theme is an extra clue to the grid but the links are get-able without them. :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33823: One would think that after nearly 34,000 grids that all combinations had been used - nah! Love how you and others keep pushing the envelope. Thank you Kuba [transposing = cause two or more things to exchange places] (4 years, 2 months ago)

Clark @ #33805: A couple of those connections, I don't understand even after reading the answers. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33823: @Gagalady I don't think transposing actually has anything to do with transport. I know it mostly as a musical term. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #16540: Clever (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33813: Daz; the connection does not say ' you'd have to google it'. It's a later suggestion as I think these are entertaining to view. Just a bit of fun as I'm too busy at the mo' to do a complex one. (4 years, 2 months ago)

eurydice @ #2296: Perhaps I got lucky with the streets, but then it was easy. Had to think to get the "draw" group though - nice one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

coyote @ #33804: It's a fun concept, but the answers need a bit of work- I got the Marvel characters group straight away, but was marked wrong for 'avengers', but all four characters have been an avenger at one time or another! I then wrote "cat" by accident in the Old Lady group and was marked correct! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33802: Your limitations are your own. I do what I can within the website's format, I like to play around with styles as if I can't be creative, there's no point for me. Many people hit refresh for these- but it was graded as hard not fiendish by other people, so that suggests that it is solvable. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33813: Uk centric probably (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33810: rubbish (4 years, 2 months ago)

nate @ #32933: a good grid, but a bit too easy on the -tian clue, as only mar and dalma are words. Might feel better as "Egypt, politic, mart, and ruff," though I'll admit it makes the category less impressive. maybe just replace "vene" and "egyp" with "ti" and "kit?" For Titian and Kittian (a resident of St. Kitts). While Kittian is obscure in inelegant, "kit" could be another red herring for the young animals group. No easy answer though, and the grid works great as is! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33802: You do realise there is a 3 minute timer in the top right hand corner? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32183: I Really loved this one- so different- I highly recommend it- I didn't think I was going to solve it though- skin of my teeth finish with 17 secs left! But it is doable in the time and so much fun, thank you :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33784: Enjoyed that one, but got fixated on animals for one row 🙄 Good mix, nice theme Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

BG @ #8646: You've got Denmark in there twice, which isn't ideal. Also some issues with capital letters, and I think the groups are a bit too obscure. Not a great grid, sorry. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33799: I did enjoy it Lorna. And I did get a low score! Always looking for extra difficulty in yours. Many thanks for all your kind words today. Appreciate it. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33799: I think you may enjoy this Ducky- even if it's only because it gets a low score! ;) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33798: Enjoyed this, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33791: Just always wince when I see dog reversed - not very polite I feel. Did you intend dwarf backwards? I assumed trapdoor was a joke too! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33794: Another good 'un. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33766: Thanks stjohn! Though if it's that bad maybe it should just sink. Not my best. Perhaps the morning players are more discerning! (4 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #21012: Good wall. Higher end of medium, needed to think more. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33766: I gave it a 5* - so glad I found it! Again- so well chosen- all with meaning. Star quality, I think the score is a bit sour grapes because it is a bit harder- couple of crossovers. Still be proud of this, it is excellent. As stjohn said, really lovely touches :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #1875: Good wall. I like the clue aibohphobia... (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33794: Brilliant again- 5*, the inherent meaning gave it a witty entertainment value- put it in a class of its own. I shall seek out 33766! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Blackwing @ #33794: Very enjoyable, thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33785: Trying to mix things up a bit ; ) (4 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #7712: Good apart from the way too obscure german clue - only cheating by using the net would get that one. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33778: Thanks Ducky all sorted. Yes -"The Machine Stops!" -wasn't stuck for long and got a free upgrade from basic cheapo to posh with the hairdryer thing, so it's an ill wind... (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33793: Nice and sneaky (4 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #3456: Nice wall,took a while to get 'back'. Liked the sneaky Vulcan to make it look like planets - got it just in time. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33766: Its back! under the 3* heading - some nice touches e.g Cheshire town (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33766: Ducky, it would someone or people took exception and marked quality down without having the decency to say why (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33794: Nicely done Ducky (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33794: Anyone see my 33766 grid yesterday morning? I didn't go and look at it on the main page, and when I got back from watering the veg it wasn't there. 'I will diminish and go into the west' I thought, over dramatically! The highs and lows of grid setting. (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33772: Very good, recognised the pattern, but couldn't resolve the grid. Good range of subjects Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33759: It's just conventional to capitalise the first word on a grid, pp. Gives you a stable point to start from with no extra clues. JMelb, not such a clay - brained guts now! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ferret @ #33768: but three points in a football pools sense :-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33764: ...... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #30376: Sorry, but it doesn't work logically when multiple words are possible red herrings for the same two categories, because there has to be only one solution. 'Where' 'What' and 'How' are all question words, but they can also all follow 'some___', so they are interchangeable between those groups, and there are three correct grid arrangements. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #13419: Nice grid, and some fun categories. Breathed was a great red herring, and Trudeau had me focussing on Canadian Prime Ministers for far too long. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #546: Nice grid. Particularly liked the 2nd and French categories. (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33059: Excellent grid! Crossword clues is a new idea to me! Loved it! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33740: smart idea thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Holy Crow @ #33732: Thanks for the feedback, I made a couple of changes. Dice is listed as both a singular and plural form in some dictionaries, but I agree it was a bad choice for the category. I think it would be a stretch to swap one of the other mammals with whale. It may be a cultural difference, but I haven't heard any of the other the mammals referred to as white, and couldn't find and species with those names when searching for them.

Ma @ #345: Nice grid. The first letter category got me. And having all the sins in there was well done, and impossible to cycle. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #4548: Really nice grid. Liked the originality of the B category a lot, and the red herrings of arctic v geese. Agree with the commenters that more than one category also worked for the flags one but a lot of fun all the same. (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33009: Lovely grid! I agree Ben! Sorry Clown, heartache( noun) and heartbroken (adjective) are not interchangeable. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33732: You could possibly replace it with sheep? That would give you your white/ mammal red herring. Unfortunately, I think that whale and the other mammals are swap-able- there are either species or literary references for all of those to possibly fit the white group- shame as it's a great red herring and I kept putting it in with blue! Good effort :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33320: Nice varied grid. But I really dislike homophones that don't work ina Scottish dialect! (4 years, 2 months ago)

mt @ #33726: Nice one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #30814: Agree with @stucco. Was a fun grid apart from that but 2 categories being almost identical is a bit of a stretch. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33716: Sat back and enjoyed it at the end:) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33728: Edit on the 'I have ....' line, and the scoring section for that category (..tifiers). After that, perfecto! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ma @ #29192: Fun grid with good red herrings. Was thinking Stephen Stills and then managed to get that connection wrong. Nicely constructed! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33691: No googling! : / (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33699: J - COR! 15 secs of total blank, then I saw Cold Mountain and I thought "yeh I know where this is going" wrong!. I like the way you have omitted descriptions of answers so we have to look them up ourselves. Tougher than at second glance . Ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #33662: What a beautiful conceit. Inspired! I must confess to being enormously helped out by grammar/syntax. You've now got me trying to think of quotes with overlapping red-herrings! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #33667: Thanks. Just what I wanted from a "medium" grid. Thoroughly entertaining without being too taxing at the end of a busy day. P.s. should there be an m in "Wob" (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33679: Still quite hard thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33670: First look at the grid and I said to myself "yup" I'll have a plate of that. Have you never made a weetabix sauce? No neither have I. Thought of carbs but remembered what my dietitian said and "avoid" so I did and only scored 5/10. Yummy quiz, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

ducky @ #33646: A couple of easier ways in and the categories are easy, but remembering what you've sorted out can still be quite challenging as you can't just glance around for a reminder. Had fun! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33627: Some people really have this 'constructive feedback' thing figured out. Anyways, I like the idea of putting in terms that are all related to one thing, but there are some problems within the groups. On the eastern row, for example, some words seem to be synonyms (although I'm not sure where 'saviour' comes from) and other words are used literally. And on the Caesar group, 3 of the clues are based on his famous quote (though these are infinitives instead of the actual translation of veni vidi vici), and then the 4th one is something pretty unrelated. Idem for the other groups. Consequence: when you see the answer, then sure, they all have /something/ to do with it, but in grid form the groups are pretty impossible to find.

lorna @ #33564: Thanks, Nothanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33564: Nothanks- yes agreed- I deliberately put madame butterfly as a) I thought it would be more recognisable for people and b) I was expecting complaints if I put "madama" so I opted for what I thought was the softer option, even though it's technically wrong! Will probably edit it though :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nothanks @ #33564: Clever, this. Almost didn't notice the vehicles category. Enjoyable as always. Very minor nitpick: the opera is Madama Butterfly. Madame Butterfly is the short story the opera is based on. (4 years, 2 months ago)

brian @ #33564: how is that medium (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33565: What? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33545: Thanks- Probably why it's not massively popular, despite a lot of work going in! :( I thought I'd added enough "ins" for this one, some almost complete overlaps, but you do have to twig what's going on- plain sailing after that though. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33545: Thank you Lorna. The moment I think I'm getting the hang of you, you add a new twist. Way, way beyond fiendish though. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32336: This is a fun one! Found this- you prob already seen- re Brass Monkeys: "Origin mid 19th century: often said to be from a type of brass rack or ‘monkey’ in which cannonballs were stored and which contracted in very cold weather, ejecting the balls, but this explanation has not been proved." So maybe, maybe not? Thanks for good grid :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33461: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Aaron Spelling @ #33473: I missed the first row. I spelled "cognac" properly and had it marked incorrect. Your puzzle expects it to be misspelled as "Congac" (sic). (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33459: 10s thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

2:06 @ #33473: ez (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33469: Way beyond fiendish. (4 years, 2 months ago)

graham @ #33469: Mamma Mia! So hot I need a cornetto to cool down. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33471: Absolute genius! I LOVED the down group, so brilliantly lateral- wish I could say I got it but solved it purely by guesswork! I'm a sucker for a false group also, so 5* from me again. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33468: fun (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #17556: Fun and clever (4 years, 2 months ago)

2:08 @ #15868: 10/10 (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33462: You've done it again! This one a little bit trickier, but well done, thank you :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33463: Lovely grid, I do like a good theme! (4 years, 2 months ago)

. @ #33465: clap clap like the humour (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33466: AAAARGH I can't believe I missed the N.G. group!!! 5* 5* as usual. Wasted time chasing networks and games- know sod all about US politics. Good show :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33465: I liked the tricksy bits! I thought Misawarded had to be a hidden word but had no idea what. Wuthering foxed me- seeing your name and Kate in the same place sent my brain exactly where you wanted it! Lovely stuff, interesting and different :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

. @ #33464: clap clap. Thought Bee with Hayfever was "The Best" beesneeze = bees knees lol. (4 years, 2 months ago)

1:12 @ #30437: 10/10 baby (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33460: Or avoiding the else to do! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33460: Thanks again! I don't know how some of you manage to be so productive and creative tho. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33460: I think I'm going to seek out your grids- similar tastes! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33460: witty, fun :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Shewal @ #33423: Enjoyed the grid, may be helpful to include "stop", "prevent" or other synonyms for the hamper group connections? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ducky @ #33448: Thank-you. Learned from the best! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33449: fun (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33448: Really nicely done, I enjoyed that a lot 5* (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33445: Saw the African Queen and High Society straight away. Some others were harder. Havent seen The Quiet Man for a few years - very good! thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33441: Lists row is not really airtight. I wouldn't for example put 'person who once made a list of something' at the same level as an HTML tag for a numbered list. Some were obscure, yeah, but I think that's fine for a fiendish grid. And I liked the variety of clues in each category, so do make more! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Web1 @ #33430: Steal? Seriously? (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33430: Steal? We wuz robbed! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33445: Nope. Not for me. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33430: I enjoyed it. Good groups & shout-out to the God of only connect, Victoria Coren. Btw, did anyone mention steal was spelled wrong? Yes? No? Just messing ;) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33442: I'm giving myself a bonus point for NOT getting the Kardashian kids ;-) But fair play, all airtight groups. Thanks for making! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33407: 10/10 .: congrats! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33444: Excellent! and a lot of fun- I used to make these (but I can't remember what grid numbers :( ) so it's great to be able to play one. This was so well done! 5* (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33408: fellow buff! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33430: 10/10 thanks (pretty unforgiving on a typo!) (4 years, 2 months ago)

jay30 @ #33404: Generally a good grid but yes, you do need to spell things right. Also you need to make sure you accept the most correct answer - Euston etc ARE London termini stations, not just any old railway stations. (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #29074: Great grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #10577: Love this grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

. @ #33406: clap clap, 7/10, I missed "Harvey" (4 years, 2 months ago)

The Clown @ #33009: It's a duff grid surely as heartache and heartbroken are interchangeable so there's no unique answer for two of the groups. (4 years, 2 months ago)

spark @ #32792: "west" should be accepted, as that is the last name of all four kids (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33413: Burn for stream was lovely misdirection. Nice. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bee @ #33430: Steel has been spelled wrongly. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jmelb @ #33406: Yes it is very specific that is why the warning for movie buffs only (4 years, 2 months ago)

BG @ #33430: Steel spelt wrong. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #33407: Way too obscure (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #33430: Steal should be steel (4 years, 2 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #33430: Builders might Steal but they use STEEL in construction. (4 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #1818: Nice wall but not that difficult (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #33406: Too obscure (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #33406: Too obscure (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33413: Sorry- that is a typo and I forgot the edit option! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #33413: Sorry, I mean SW, not SE! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #33413: Bath is in SW England, not SW, and it’s in Somerset (Avon doesn’t exist anymore). (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33429: Having two boxes the same means that there can't be one unique answer- also someone could click on the right answer but the wrong box and be marked wrong. It made a good crossover though, so if you just had the one it would be a really sound grid! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

DJPetz @ #33429: No credit for "Victoria"? (4 years, 2 months ago)

s @ #33429: steal should be steel? (4 years, 2 months ago)

jampi @ #30704: great grid thanks little quill (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32388: An Excellent grid- a bit different, high quality and stylish (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maggot @ #33388: Two sets? And onion? Didn’t allow my baked items. Very sad (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #31007: Brilliant (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33413: You can bath a baby or a dog etc; bath or bathe are both acceptable, both definitions are in the dictionary, but thanks for watching my back (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33427: good hidden words (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33425: one group in particular had great crossovers (4 years, 2 months ago)

ja @ #33425: good (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33423: @Advil Fidler. Yes and 'things that make noise' is also a connection, as well as 'words with 4 or more letters'. Mentally give yourself an extra point if you want. I stand firm on my point :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maartje @ #33391: Very good. And the homophones are all homophones. Despite Dr 'Speechim' Pediment trying to justify his mispronunciation. As all words sound slightly different in different accents there are NO universal homophones. If you want to be a pedant, at least get it right! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maartje @ #33393: Enjoyable grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33423: Sometimes its the simple little things that make me smile! :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

Advil Fidler @ #33423: The whole point of the Connect Grid is to see the connections. Instrument sounds is the connection. Percussion is also the connection. Instruments used in Rolf Harris ' stairway to heaven is also correct but you'd be just as much a nonce to insist on that (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33418: thanks, simple and enjoyable (4 years, 2 months ago)

Angela @ #33422: Extremely challenging: not only do you need to work out the cryptic clues but then be able to sort them into quite specific categories. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33418: Very nice and straightforward, perfect! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33413: To wash be immersion is to bathe, not bath. (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33418: Nice and straightforward. Good (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33413: Good grid..as usual (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33409: @DJPetz I rather just meant the word 'synonym' since that is what they are and so usually that is what people guess :) Otherwise, you'd have to allow every possible synonym that someone could come up with. (4 years, 2 months ago)

JoeySalads99 @ #33178: y mi pp hard (4 years, 2 months ago)

EthelQ @ #33405: November cannot come soon enough (4 years, 2 months ago)

DJPetz @ #33409: Thanks for the feedback -- which synonyms did you guess that weren't accepted? Let me know and I can add them. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Commentator @ #11: The website one is a bit vague, otherwise very good! (4 years, 2 months ago)

EthelQ @ #33409: Straightforward and pleasing! Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

HippyHoppy @ #33396: Loved this grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Commentator @ #4772: Quite difficult but very poor. Alan Ball... really? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33413: Great! Very creative. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #31405: I echo j's comment- variety is the spice of puzzgrid- I did struggle but I don't think Geographical knowledge can be called specialist, and I've done a lot of very UK culture- based grids so it would be hypocritical of me to criticise one for being US- centric. The important thing is that the site is here for everybody! The songs facts were very interesting :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33412: Too high- brow for me! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lawner @ #33398: Felt the red and blue groups were a bit too close. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Wordie @ #33411: Fun grid. Got it out. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33411: One of those nasty ones that is easier the less you spot- sorry! Hope you enjoy it anyway :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33398: The metals row doesn't check out 100%. But other than that the groups are very nice, with some great red herrings. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33410: great (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33409: Nice groups, I like the red herrings. Please always allow 'synonyms' for rows like the devour-one. Thanks for making. (4 years, 2 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #33404: The knock link was a bit tenuous for me - perhaps because of the prepositions needed to make the phrase work. Still a great grid thanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #33409: @H I think scarf and scoff are interchangeable depending on dialect and accents. Great grid, thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #33409: scarf not known to me... UK we say scoff... thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33395: Very nice, straightforward, which is perfect. Thank you! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33371: Very nice variety of groups. I do agree on expanding some of the 'correct links'. Hadn't heard of a reflecting pool, so that'll be my one thing I learned today :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33374: Clever groups, I liked it. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33372: Yes, you should have either accepted nationalities or included another type of salad dressing for that group to really work. I liked the other groups, though. And I did recognize most of the soap operas. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #33384: Nice grid. Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33385: Very enjoyable, thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33394: Lovely! thank you! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33384: I've changed Mold to Mould, thanks for pointing it out. Not changing the other things, though, You definitely do 'Jump Rope' and 'Break Bad'. Just because 'jumping rope' and 'breaking bad' are more famous, doesn't mean the other thing is wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (4 years, 2 months ago)

Wilhelm @ #33394: Verdy Goodd Quidz (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33374: I liked it j- the yellows were a bit lateral- I think they key it to think of them in their raw state, yes? - and the wordplay was a nice penny-drop. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33393: Nice touch! It's the little things... :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ja @ #33393: Thank you Lorna for kind words ... Yes! well spotted (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33391: That is true enough, Dr Pedant- in the setter's defence- when I use homophones I tend to include the dictionary pronunciation guide to save arguments; I found this: caught/kɔːt/ court/kɔːt/ it has saved me a lot of hassle on the comments page. Ta! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dr Pedant @ #33391: Caught and Court are only homophones in certain accents in England, which don't pronounce the R. The rest of the world pronounces the R. Google rhotic & non-rhotic. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33393: Excellent! 5* Really enjoyable. Was the BNW Maiden link deliberate? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33305: Salve Parate, Good linguistic grid. Keep them coming. Vale. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33394: just a silly one before bed! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33305: Salve Parate, Good linguistic grid. Keep them coming. Vale. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #4165: I liked it, despite never having heard of The Crystal Maze. Well done! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33323: Clever idea. Spot on. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jammy @ #33384: OE - Agree with "break" bad but if you use breaking the whole thing works. And a jump rope is a thing. Liked it - thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ja @ #33348: @Oatcake Eater - You are wrong! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33348: Timpani is not a type of instrument. Neither is woodwind. (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33391: Neatly done, really good. Loved the commentary too, be nice, be kind 😁 Oh and 10s all round Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33374: Not good. Categories Begin and end is S and have 3 Ps are very unimaginative. Nothing to like really. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33384: Not good. Bad is not a thing you can break. Mould misspelt. Can you "jump rope". Sloppy. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33391: 5*- the extra * was for the running commentary, which made me laugh! Love the sentiment- you may hate that bit, but it got you an extra point! ;) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33389: excellent! great crossovers (4 years, 2 months ago)

Minnie63 @ #32338: Chuffed I got 10/10, which is very rare, although kangaroo word line was by sheer luck as didn't guess it exactly-but I'll take that! Thank you for a great and enjoyable wall. Feeling a little bit smug tonight now ☺️ (4 years, 2 months ago)

EthelQ @ #33390: Drat! missed the HP (4 years, 2 months ago)

PGFan @ #33384: Excellent grid - was completely baffled but it made total sense when answers revealed. Kicked myself! To be honest though, I think I was so distracted by 'mold' (should be 'mould') that I was too busy trying to work out if I was missing something on that... But otherwise really good. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ja @ #33390: Harry Potter one was very enjoyable! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ade @ #33384: Nice grid. Thank you Kuba (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33387: Cleverly done, foxed me- I would say if I may that when using prefix- suffix type clues, it can be tricky using common prefixes as they could go with almost anything- I do however think that bar- went some way to rescue this, nicely done. Minimalist grids like this always stump me, probably cos they're the polar opposite of how I work! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33388: Lovely grid as usual, especially loved the hidden words :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33386: Brilliant, so clever, so many connections, top job! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33385: a lovely easy grid suitable for any age, thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Zaffra @ #33367: I could see they were all Hill but the groupings don't really make much sense to me. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33384: You are great. Perfect grid, simple, fun and elegant :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33384: I liked this one, very Only Connectish. Nice spread of subjects. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33386: Excellent grid, well constructed. Should've took my time with this. Couldn't resolve the wall, but got all the connections. Teach me not to rush (I hope). Thanks for posting. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Zaffra @ #33374: Yellow in the middle is odd, especially using Corn and Pineapple as examples. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #8355: Very clever misleads. I thought the last row's common thread was "turkey" although it didn't fit for "credit". ;-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Zaffra @ #33379: Nope nobody thinks the Euro is ever represented by the letter C. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #6833: Enjoyed the challenge. The family member thing is common enough that just seeing carbuncle gave it away, but that's not your fault. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #2748: Very clever to have people's own brains working against them by having the associate the "Alt" with that pronunciation. I enjoyed it even if I failed to guess most of the rows correctly. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #30437: Challenging. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jack @ #33379: The Euro is not represented by C (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #33026: I quite enjoyed this one. Not overly challenging, but fun! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33383: some lovely words, fun and educational, thank you very much :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #33379: € - Euro, ₡ - Colon. If you remove the two lines from both symbols the approximate shape that's left is that of the letter 'C'. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33382: trios, great idea! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33366: Thanks Jack- if you got it without the extra help of spotting the rhymes, then seriously well done! I know that 4 inch is only a near rhyme (oarinch?!!) but it was not easy to make a reference to Blorenge (a mountain in Wales) and sporange (a technical word for a sac where spores are made) relevant to a 24 character clue! ;) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33383: Nice. I liked the greek letters. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jack @ #33383: never heard of a dido used to mean a practical joke (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jack @ #33366: Really enjoyed. Didn't clock they were necessarily rhyming, though i'm not sure how the Tangy, Amber, Maybe 4" rhymes with Orange. (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33370: good grid. Loved the gaffe(r). "Directo" should have given that line away but for too long I refused to believe it wasn't just a typo. (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33382: Great grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33379: In no world is the Euro is represented by C. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33379: The Euro symbol is based upon the Greek letter epsilon not the letter C. (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33362: now i feel bad. only because i've actually been to iowa did i get that line (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33371: not too hard... just the way I like 'em (4 years, 2 months ago)

james @ #33323: Yep great (4 years, 2 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #33379: A Colon is also a currency represented by the letter C with two lines through it. The symbol for the euro is predominately made from a 'C' shape if not a letter C explicitly. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33366: Thanks! I think "tried to" is operative here! but if it worked as a clue, that's good enough for me :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33378: Aargh! Foiled by a wellie! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33375: Really hard- love the mechanism on the booth group- it foxed me! Agree that tanuki is def. a canine- not sure about thylacine (prehistoric?) but terrific grid :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

mt @ #33379: Is the Euro represented by C? (It needs an =) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bee @ #32866: Sea mammals is correct. It said “animals “ for answer which is much less specific (4 years, 2 months ago)

mt @ #31427: I think Dr Spock was a real life childcare doctor. Mr Spock is the Star Trek one. (4 years, 2 months ago)

ZBJ @ #33366: Nice one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33364: Thank you, I could never be as good as you but it would be enjoyable to give it go : ) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33375: * Tanuki does belong to the Canidae family ( as do wolves, foxes etc). The Thylacine may be open to question. (4 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #33366: Very clever! Can't believe you tried to find a rhyme for orange :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

poopdbut @ #33372: @david but American is also a nationality so its a distinct category from that red herring, And the soaps would be common among Americans, presumably. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33371: really nicely constructed- simple categories but plenty of play in it from the good crossovers (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33367: exactly as freddgar says. Very well done, 5* for effort! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33364: Oh please do feel free! One of the reasons I invent formats is they're the sort of games I would like to play, so it will be so fun to do yours- I'm sure you'll do a great job! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bog @ #33375: Neither a Tanuki or a Thylacine is a dog, sorry (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #33374: Didn't like (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #19131: Very clever. Defeated me completely initially, but I saw every answer when solved, and it all felt earned and fair. (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33239: I think the approach is very clever, but I have a couple of quibbles that I hope are helpful. The Social Norm category is three nouns and an adjective, and that isn't pretty. Also, and minorly, as two or even three of the shoe terms also work in the superiority category, it seems to me rather muddy. Clever and fun, thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maggot @ #28959: Great got me! But Great Wall.... ooh now, there’s a thought! (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #32526: Charming theme and structure. Not difficult, but the synonym line I found hard to find a name for, because it contained "record." I was starved for another synonym! (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33250: Nice grid and fun theme but super narrow answers. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #26035: Tricky and clever. Four-in-hand really snookered me, as intended. You *must* correct to "Rankine," as that's just incorrect. Might also open the answer of the horse-drawn; I said wagon. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pannie @ #32164: Nice and easy with good links (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33252: Quite clever as a theme, and really tripped me up. Nice work! (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33253: Quite fun and challenging. I kicked myself about missing one Malcolm. You might include "alimentary" as a correct answer. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33372: The categories and overlaps were clever; I especially liked "cheese." I got the Soap Opera question by default - they stood out. But are those really common? Among whom? And the types of dressings are surely also just nationalities. (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33371: I didn't see red herrings here. I think I solved it under 30 seconds. I entered plant for the category and was marked incorrect - you might expand that. (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #33345: "orange things" and "ball and stick games" do not feel specific enough to me as categories. Is fire orange? A hawk could be orange, and "fireman" works. Is aqua properly blue? One says "midnight blue," but not "aqua blue." I think the red herrings would be clever, but the whole grid was too blurry to work for me. (4 years, 2 months ago)

The Clown @ #33251: Tom, it wasn't tenuous, it was poor. (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33367: Spotted it after about 10 seconds Couldn't put the rows together, after the reveal, well... Well done for finding so many Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33371: 10/10 thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33370: thanks, reel was good (4 years, 2 months ago)

mt @ #30960: I'm Malaysian and have never heard of a chicken satay recipe like that! Maybe best to call it 'Asian ingredients' or simply foods? (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33367: Got me. Kept thinking, they can't all be Hill. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33364: Thanks Such an enjoyable concept. Hope you won't mind if I borrow it, to give it a try. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Googamooga @ #33236: Great, challenging grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33345: no such thing as ocean blue. On any given day an ocean can be 1000 different shades of blue. Otherwise, good job. (4 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #33362: why do americans always think the rest of the whole world is interested in their stupid geography, presidents, tennis players, etc? (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #24111: Clever, with some good red herrings. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #16104: Fun puzzle. (4 years, 2 months ago)

jammydodger @ #33350: Your grids are fab. Thank-you! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33330: @Horatio: It helps if you've done one of the other rhyming clues grids before this one, as they were easier. Thanks for the feedback! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #2096: Great puzzle, some really nice overlaps. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #13420: Great puzzle. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maddie @ #33358: Oh this is my favourite so far! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gridlington @ #33361: Nice. Easy, but creative! Top marks again Lorna! (4 years, 2 months ago)

RBR45 @ #33362: Good grid - couple of red herrings (4 years, 2 months ago)

Horatio @ #33330: I usually love your grids, and actually only do yours and one other setter now, but this left me cold. Don't really understand now I've seen the answers how it worked! (4 years, 2 months ago)

malcolm @ #219: As clever as it is, I don't think having two answers the same is within the parameters of the puzzle (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33361: Nice one lorna, loved it. Different but fairly easy to solve 10s all round Lots of effort on your part Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

loomey @ #33359: this is so super soft that i barely got it XD (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33360: I think the question you have to ask yourself is, "would Neil Gaiman have scored a 10" ? My guess is no. (4 years, 2 months ago)

loomey @ #33360: didn't get the link for the one with buck, but at least laguhed a lot at the rest :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

loomey @ #33358: this is very clever and potentially frustrating, also, getting it right in one go is my greatest achievement today XD (4 years, 2 months ago)

SB @ #33340: You can't really have a clue repeated (you've got grass twice here) because it won't accept either 'grass' (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #4155: Hardest one yet for me. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #2297: Wow got 10/10 this with 5 seconds to spare, and guessed most. Never heard of String, or Hammer when talking about a piano but I just guessed it anyway. Never heard of a Rasp or Plane either. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #3712: Jurassic 5 was a great red herring. Wow SI unit was a good one, I never see ones like that, great. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Angel Grace @ #33359: This one was super sweet! Loved it! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #186: Didn't see the numbers one.. and I have a Msc in Mathematics.... The rest was fun though. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Angel Grace @ #33358: I got all of them apart from the link that had 2019 in it. Pretty proud of myself 😉 (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #15242: Extremely fun however got every one right first time, no red herrings. Was hoping Cool was going to be with the other Beans. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #12552: homonyms.. Aaaamazing (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #21280: Agree with Kuba, easiest one so far, only took a couple seconds. Google and Chocolate were too easy. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #4165: Hard!!! never heard of Crystal Maze. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #8355: Yeah Neil is right. Wings is an amazing red herring, I got guessed it anyway thinking maybe people who love chicken wings have a specific pan to cook their wings in, wings pan HA... good one Blues. (4 years, 2 months ago)

ppp123 @ #18849: A bit frustrating if you get the cuts of meat and bands first. You are left with 7 of 8 clues that have a silent letter. No chance of solving it then if you're (k)not a bird expert (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #9875: Drum bit threw me off because couldn't see where Washing Machine fit. This is because I am only 11 and don't know how to wash my clothes, now I know there is a drum inside the washing machine. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #6140: I too wrote cat instead of cats, best quiz yet, nice crossover between devil & queen lyrics. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #6833: Family member one was good! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #15868: I agree with Dave, Cities was tough. Had one life and 9 seconds left and got it. 10/10. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #8403: Best one yet, never heard of the Pogo dance so it threw me off a bit but 10/10 with 55 seconds left. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #28959: I agree with Glowackos, the F1 was clever. However, I did see it before I saw any of the Race related words, so it didn't catch me out. 10/10 41 seconds. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #1396: Amazing (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dane Scott from Britain @ #2748: Very LATeral. Couldn't get the keyboard question. Felt like I INSERTed every ALTernative, couldn't find out which one to ENTER, it took a LONG time, felt like a FORTnight. However I SHIFTed my thinking and gave myself some breathing SPACE so I didn't get too CROSS. I will ESCAPE now to go and enjoy a COCKTAIL, you can DELETE this comment. Crow. (4 years, 2 months ago)

david @ #32980: I'm not sure that a compass can be called an item of stationary. If it is valid to that category, my answer "desktop" seems fair. I also like to see one word-based category, or something else nonlinear like that. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #21347: Fun, a couple of good overlaps. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #3594: Some nice overlaps, a couple of challenging rows but nothing obnoxious. Thanks for the fun puzzle! (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #29192: Smallscale? Really? Thumbs down on that one. Boats and Stephens were very clever. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #368: Fairly easy to sort out although I'm in agreement that disease is iffy. Never read the play, so guessing that was another matter. Some good overlap, a couple of challenging ones. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #29189: Nice use of the extra composer. The transportation seems obvious in retrospect but I didn't get it. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #19275: The markets one was more than a little obscure. (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #15242: Schroedinger made that row much easier than it might have been. All in all, a fun puzzle. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #21280: Nice job with the Earth/Mars/Venus bit, that was a good distraction. As a bass player I'm usually pretty shocked anyone knows the bass player's name. ;-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33327: I think that opposite pairings are good enough for puzzgrid. To put it another way, if the clue is gettable, then its only a problem for the super- pedantic. If you get the gist, salt leads easily to pepper, etc. They're clues to a game- we're not trying to re-write the dictionary! ;) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33292: You are most welcome! I've learned to pay little heed to scores or negative comments- I'm in it for a bit of fun and mental exercise, and for the (perhaps minority) community of like minded folks who enjoy what I/ we do. My main concern is that bad reviews will scare newbies off or regulars who get fed up with the constant whinge- fest. So I'm delighted by your comment- please keep it up- an amazing start! Remember it's only a game! :D :D (BTW Kuba's comment: constructive criticism, so fine in my book- meant kindly and helpful- more how to do it than the plain negging) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Muscles @ #33292: Thank you for your comments guys. This was my first attempt and I also used levidrome and ananym as well as palindrome to cover all options. I've always been a bit nervous about submitting a grid but (despite the first very 2 negative comments) I might have another go. Particularly appreciate Lorna's comments as I love your grids. ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

Not sure if intended but there was a great red herring group in there of words you could knock the last letter off to make a name. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33315: Great grid, thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33306: good, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33315: happy 10/10, good thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33318: happy 10/10. Thanks, easy and quality. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #29416: Intriguing and clever, but once cracked not too difficult (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33309: No beer house in the answer to that row (4 years, 2 months ago)

Paratus @ #33304: Enjoyable grid. Thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33314: Very good, nice mix of subjects Fairly straightforward Maybe allow piper ? Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33299: didnt get the last one, but very good! (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33298: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

ok @ #33313: ok (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33294: happy 10/10 thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #33296: Great Grid. No provisions were made for Laika's life support or rentry. Also not surviving: Alberts I, III and IV :( (4 years, 2 months ago)

bloss @ #33295: My goodness, I must be getting better at thinking like you! (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33289: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33285: happy 10/10 (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33306: my favourite so far...not only as i got them all with 5 seconds togo but they were all reasonable, and quite tough! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Hooplah @ #33302: As many of us could (and do!) say about a lot of things, if I had more time I probably would've got them all eventually. Alas, 'accountancy for Cockneys' took me the rest of the time after I groaned and said "Not another cryptic one!", but by Jove I got it! Anyway, nice grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

jeff @ #33254: ez clap (4 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #33291: love it! (4 years, 2 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #33305: Coincidence, one grid before I used the same connection for the wood group. Great minds think alike - nice work! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Paratus @ #33131: Thanks for your kind comment, Lorna. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33294: Good grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Martin @ #33290: Good one! I got it with 5 seconds left! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33283: depending on you accent indeed... I thought 'own' was a homonym for 'Ian', haha. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33279: Nice crossovers, thank you for making! @Daz; if there are words you don't know, google them. That's how I learned about pickleball today :) Also Ferment/Smoke are most definitely ways to preserve food (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33288: Ah cluedo characters always get me because I never played the game in english and always just put 'colours' before realizing that peacock isn't a colour. Nicely done, thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33292: I really like the idea and the insects are interesting (though impossible to guess. Even if I google these words, barely anything comes up). Some names are a bit too obscure, too. Traeh? And what is Axel, apart from just another name? So bottom line, I like the idea and I love a grid that has a common theme and a little wordplay, but some words could have been more carefully chosen. Thanks either way and do make more! (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33299: Nice and straightforward...good one (4 years, 2 months ago)

Em&M @ #33295: Super challenging but very clever! Really enjoyed :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kai @ #33300: LOL I have no idea what Hashemite, Floodlight and Jenoah are xDD (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33271: great work :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33299: very nice :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33260: Sweet grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33292: I thought it was brilliant- a lot of work went in and I learned a lot (aha ha group). I don't think that the backwards words technically count as palindromes (they'd have to read the same both ways, eg Hannah) but this did not detract from a very well thought out, entertaining and playable grid, thank you :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33279: fun, thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maggot @ #33260: Hard stare my favourite clue 10/10 and thank you! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33280: Quite brilliant- really tests the old knowledge, thanks for a great grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33283: thanks j :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33285: You are consistently top quality, I look forward to your grids! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33289: good thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33298: good crossovers and wordplay :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33297: lovely stuff- loved the tad group and eating was super sneaky! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lal @ #1166: Enjoyable (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33296: I always enjoy your grids, thank you Ferret. I didn't have the knowledge for this one (I think I saw a football false group?) but it was so well made so 5* from me! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33294: very nicely done- I almost tripped over worm, having failed to initially spot it- there's an allegory in there somewhere! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bonald @ #33295: Enjoyed this! Very clever :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

guy griffith @ #18864: Twin Town directed by Kevin Allen, not Danny Boyle (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33290: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! That was so FUUUUUUUUN! How did you do that? So different, very enjoyable, and impressive thanks so much! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33295: I've tried to design this one to be playable at a medium to fiendish level, depending on how far into it you get. I hope you enjoy it your own way- you'll know if you got the full Monty (no pun intended) :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33294: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Glooey @ #33268: Nice grid :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

charlieLad @ #33292: This is rubbish! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bergers @ #33292: Crap (4 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #33272: superb....Hat Doffed (4 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #204: I'd never heard of Toucan or Puffin crossings either, but fortunately I solved it without that group and since I knew two of them were crossings, it was a logical guess. Playful: that is why the option to select by where the grid is from exists. I only do UK ones because American Sports, TV and brands are near impossible for me. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33285: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Wordie @ #33289: Good grid. Took me two turns as I didn’t crack my first row (the one with Chrome in it) until only a few seconds to go. Got it all out in the second attempt. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Flo @ #33285: Nice one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Angel Grace @ #33270: That was fun! And not as hard as I expected 😉 (4 years, 2 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #33282: Thankyou :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bonald @ #33282: Love this! Very clever (4 years, 2 months ago)

Flo @ #33289: The collective nouns had me a bit foxed but were recognisable when I saw them. Great fun! Well done. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33285: @Jack, one of those things you find for example in airports that make it seem like you're moving at superhuman speed ;-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jack @ #33285: What is a moving side walk? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fergus @ #9504: Good grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bonald @ #32682: Really enjoyed this one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bonald @ #33271: Did like (4 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #33275: Good one, tricky (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33279: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

eurydice @ #28408: Good fun grid; not too hard. I struggled with the red balloons and the first dates... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33278: Nice :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #33271: Did not like (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33280: Much too specialised and nerdy for the mere mortal. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #33268: 10/10 but not keen on grids where all clues are similar. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #33278: V good. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33266: Dons tin hat. The main rule of this type of puzzle is that there can only be one answer that solves the grid. In this case there a myriad of correct answers? First four odd numbers, first four even numbers etc. They are not true connections. Also, to turn something on its head usually implies a rotation of 180 degrees not 90. I understand the entertainment value and that was a nice effort but rules are rules.......... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33278: 10/10. Good grid, thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pannie @ #33098: Really did well. Enjoyed not too difficult. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pannie @ #33246: Definitely not medium, I got less right than a hard one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pannie @ #33280: Loved the challenge. Ran out of time. Very hard. (4 years, 2 months ago)

benderrules4 @ #519: this is rich. very retard. i am smart (finished 2 years of community college) and even i couldnt get this. report to proper authorities (4 years, 2 months ago)

CaptainTenille @ #33279: pain, ire, pick, and crew are all words contained within paint, fire, pickle, and screw. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33278: Much better than the other one lol! Great if not a tad easy. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33272: Happy 10/10, that was so much fun! I hope you are not going to leave too? You are a ray of positivity. Let's try to ignore any mean ratings or comments. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33279: too many dubious answers...Pickle Ball???? Ford Flex???? Ferment/Smoke, not really ways to preserve. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33266: Oh no! I am so sorry. Couldn't you just ignore them - I try to? Such a shame to lose your company. Maybe, just take a breather and come back in a while refreshed. Please don't give up on something you enjoy. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33263: Tried to do it from snippets of news stories - but not much luck. thanks aanyway (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33260: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33278: Very good, nice mix of subjects 10s all round Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

loomey @ #33277: clever! so glad Freddie and Miranda were in there as helpful starting points for two groups XD (4 years, 2 months ago)

loomey @ #33270: loved it! very sneaky with the demons vs queen groupings :) (never would have figured out the zodiac connection on my own, and after it was revealed, i played it again out of curiosity to try it with 'constellation', which i think should also work? but didn't, i don't know if that's the sort of thing you can change) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nz @ #33276: Straightforward but nicely done (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nz @ #33260: Fabulous crossovers. I'm smiling here too Miley. I got 10/10 but I'd like to give you more (4 years, 2 months ago)

Frank @ #33253: I enjoyed this grid, and after a long day at work I appreciated the chuckle from seeing Anus in a puzzle. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33261: The Up group doesn't really work because all four are generic direction words, which could just as well follow other verbs like "go" or "get." (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bonald @ #32988: An excellent grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

ANdy @ #33271: Not for the faint-hearted but satisfying (4 years, 2 months ago)

Mooney @ #33273: The moon landing one isn't great, IMO. (4 years, 2 months ago)

ANdy @ #33275: Seriously sneaky but fun! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bonald @ #33275: Very clever! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kai @ #33277: Keep them coming! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Mike @ #32967: This one was really poor. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kai @ #33270: LOL the red-herrings were truly demonic xD It was fun, is there more? =P (4 years, 2 months ago)

Thomas Tank @ #33268: Thank you girls (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33266: Ah stjohn- I respect your decision but it will be a loss- do come back soon- when good setters leave because of the downside of this comments page it always feels like the trolls have scored one- but I understand if it's getting a bit grating. And thank you for all the kind words and positivity :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33275: Nice- little bit lateral, one you have to work at a bit :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Clare @ #33274: Another fun wall by you! I got three links but missed one - very clever. I really liked the red herrings, lots that could go into different groups. Great job x (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33266: Thank you Lawner, to mess with your handle. I have enjoyed playing with and opposing genuine quality puzzlers like yourself. To take what is a "simple" format and come up with startling and beautifully different ideas is a joy. You know who I am talking about, the established and is great to see new setters finding yet another e.g Tamarind - Outstanding. However you will have noticed I am finding it harder and harder to listen to Les Autres without retaliation. I KNOW it is the wrong thing to do, but...... Therefore I must walk away.... This is my last post [at least for sometime] Goodbye, and as I always wanted to use in a grid, my favourite film quote... thanks for all the fish. x (4 years, 2 months ago)

Mags @ #33270: This was fun! Enough of a challenge without being frustrating. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33268: Fun grid, thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bailey @ #33270: I DID IT OMG YAY LOOK AT ME GO (4 years, 2 months ago)

Clowley @ #33270: I loved this game! I'd love to give constructive criticism, but I didn't notice anything wrong with it! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Madison @ #33270: Possibly I found it easy because I watch a lot of only connect? The zodiac signs was good though! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ciel @ #33270: (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33260: 10/10, thank you Smiley. A bear of most common sense. A thought and ideal most admirable. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33268: I usually don't really go for all name grids- this one however I really liked, it had something to get your teeth into! Thanks very much, well made :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33266: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH! 4 seconds left! Thrilling stuff, 5*, prob my favourite of yours (that I've played) so far, absolutely loved it. You're on top form. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Moux @ #33253: I really enjoyed your grid. It was challenging, and forced me to think out of the box! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33266: thank you Freddgar & Caz, just a bit of silliness (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33266: Excellent grid, really like that type, as per Caz enjoyed it. Spotted the plot almost straight away, but couldn't resolve the wall. Got all the links, so 4 for me 10 for you, more please Thanks for posting. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33255: Thanks lorna, you are always so positive and nice : ) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33247: Not you stjohn - Daz. You are right, criticism of people's effort is just unpleasant. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Theone @ #33258: Good clues except for the tenuous mercury ones! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33266: Very enjoyable, well made. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33260: 10/10, some good crossovers. Thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maartje @ #33244: Like it, although 'girls' should be permissible for the Girls. (4 years, 2 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33260: @Pat - ha ha I'm not sure I know either! Clearly should have been concentrating more when I was uploading. All sorted now - as well as the 'slip of the finger' spelling error! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maartje @ #33243: Agree with Me re PBL. You might as well name four of your class,ages from primary school And red is a poor Clue too. No real red herrings. I like lthe pasta one though so you did something right. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33247: Sorry J. (4 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #33259: not for me thanks.... links were not good. Keep trying though. (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33252: Something a bit different..really good! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Web1 @ #33260: MarmAlade. Poor spelling appears to be endemic on this site. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33260: May I in the politest possible terms (to avoid anyone else feeling the need to lower themselves to personal insults) esquire as to what Lady Lady is? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33258: stjohn. Why the requirement to sink to personal abuse? It says far more about the person giving it than the target. Very very sad. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33248: Touchy lot aren't we? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Rose-Marie @ #33228: Good grid with nice amount of crossovers. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33256: No variety and not very interesting unless you like and know these bands. :( (4 years, 2 months ago)

Rose-Marie @ #33233: Same as other comments-good but tricky! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33257: 10/10. Yay! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Rose-Marie @ #33244: Good grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33259: some great crossovers and sign was a nice touch, clever to include two false groups- I didn't understand crayons link but didn't detract- overall a top effort (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33247: Oh dear! Unnecessary. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33259: Contains NG is a poor poor connection. Do all crayons come in boxes of eight then?????? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33257: 5* Such good quality today! Monsieur, you are spoiling us! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33258: 5*- GENIUNE GENIUS!!! Very hard, sublimely brilliant. some jaw-droppingly good bits (mad Hatter- how long did I chase THAT white rabbit?) Hats off, this was in a league of it's own- so well thought out, so much work- even a revision?! It will make a lot of folks angry! ;) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33258: So tricky! thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33256: Really fun, quizzy type grid, thank you, you do some great ones! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33255: Something I fail to do is make an easy but good quality grid, you've done this with panache! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33253: Superb, thanks so much :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33252: LOVELY concept. Very enjoyable, thank you, more like this please! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33251: Cor that was hard! Clever stuff, the scream group got me :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33255: Just a quick and easy : ) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33251: Jeg er ikke enig (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33249: clever thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

jammydodger @ #33248: Grids are like a box of chocolates: you never know.... And that's the way I like it!! Grid setters, trick us, tickle us and bamboozle to your hearts content! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33250: Cor- that was hard for me- proud I got a couple, very well done thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33248: That's a spelling joke Pat! (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33248: Here, here! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33247: @Daz, foolish person. If there is one thing you cannot throw at Lorna, it is "Sloppy" (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33258: @Pat - don't bother with this, you would need an IQ level in double figures for this, and you fall about 8 points below that. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33244: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33258: Brilliant! 5* Lorna, J Sooz et al, you will love this, highly recommended. P.S. Yerushalmi are you sure there were ONLY 13 red herrings? (¬‿¬) Great occupational health knowledge of Luton. Well Done (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33253: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33251: Norway group very tenuous. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33247: Daz- I'm sorry that the extra clues, intended to make the grid easier, made you so angry. I'm sure you'll get over it. Have a lovely day :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33254: 10/10, thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33248: @sallycap, hello. I took my info from www.yorkshire.com/places/yorkshire-dales/hawes. Seems their claims are erroneous. But then again Yorkshire folk believe Yorkshire IS England. Alston in Cumbria and Buxton in Derbyshire, both beautiful towns both claim highest at around 1,000ft. Sincere thanks for bringing this information to my attention. Regards St John😊👍 (4 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #33257: Nice one (4 years, 2 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #33258: This is an updated and improved version of the most fiendish and evil grid I ever submitted to the site. By my count there are at least 13 red herrings. Good luck! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33257: 10/10 in around a minute 20. Clever crossovers, well done. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #20777: Excellent and very clever (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33248: Pat: I haven't interjected to date as you have left one or two more complimentary comments on my grids, amongst the criticism, but- although fully aware that you are entitled to your own opinion which may differ vastly from mine, please remember that there is a real live human being on the receiving end, that you may be hurting their feelings, and that it's actually quite bad for YOU to be living in that head- space; I wouldn't enjoy it. I sincerely hope, with genuine best wishes, that you can learn to come to this website with a happier, "it's only a game" attitude, for your own sake as much as anyone else's. If you read some of the reply comments ever you will notice just what effect you're having on people. This is meant as kindly as possible but please do have a re- think- you're getting SOOO angry about stuff that other people enjoy- each to their own? :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #33254: You seem nice. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33254: Not the best......indeed probably the worst grid seen on here? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33248: You're comment about looking it up sums up this puzzle. You shouldn't have to look up obscure answers that virtually nobody knows to solve the puzzle....and the word play (allegedly) combined with a hidden word is just dire. (4 years, 2 months ago)

sallycap @ #33248: highest market town is alston in cumbria, 200ft higher than hawes (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33246: good one! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33247: and what the heck is Big Fish at the cinema??? It should be just 'Big' to match the rest of the category. Overall very sloppy. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33247: half of them dont make sense or are way too vague. The fishing one makes no sense at all, what does mousehole in cornwall have to do with fishing??? The fishy muscal act is three fish and an oyster, way too vague considering there is another fish one, and some of the movies are too vague. Didnt like this at all. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Meh @ #33195: Putting in clues like "crab" and "archer" that define the categories doesn't make for red herrings, it just makes the connections immediately obvious. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33248: Lots of knowledge, thanks stjohn! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Daz @ #33250: Easy but fun! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33248: So clever and it made me laugh! :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33246: Nice Fisty thank you :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33244: fun, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33239: I echo Lorna, did not solve the wall [I should have refreshed, but couldn't wait to see the resolve] then it became wonderfully clear Also 5* thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33239: This is something extremely difficult to do, elegantly made to look easy. I wonder if it will get the credit which it deserves? To keep this a unique solution took skill. As well as being well constructed it was also novel and fun. I would very much welcome more like this please- 5*! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33232: Cor- I didn't find it easy! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33233: Really enjoyed especially the sex pistols group. Impressed by the names too but in hindsight- I missed those! Brilliant job (4 years, 2 months ago)

Savage @ #33233: Clever! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33222: Took another look at this puzz, and I appreciated it more now. Still only scored 3/10 as I saw the pattern all too late. Another quality presentation from Larner (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lal @ #29192: Good (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33238: Nice groups, thank you! @Chris 'relations' is a very broad word. These were clearly family members. Don't blame the maker if he can't anticipate all your guesses. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #33238: Put relations in for one answer, marked as wrong but very similar to correct answer family words (4 years, 2 months ago)

JJ @ #12974: really interesting (4 years, 2 months ago)

dominic @ #583: first one I tried but really good (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33210: stjohn! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33210: Gin- German was the "in" for me because I use the break between words for hidden stuff myself, therefore I was looking out for it! So to me, it worked and was fair, not tenuous. If even I (crap at geography) got Alice, I'd say its enough to make the link, so also fair enough for puzzgrid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33231: Super and fiendish, lovely work, as ever :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33222: Thanks all. that's fine, Sintjin, don't expect everybody to love everything, that's not the point of me, but you're always super polite about it :) This one was more quizzy than my usual, and more jokey than anything, so I'm not precious about it! :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

Maartje @ #33211: Great grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

tricky @ #683: Great, good crossovers, fun, not too simple. I'd not heard of a loonie but it was guessable (4 years, 2 months ago)

tricky @ #6833: Nice grid. Good crossovers. Word one not immediately obvious. However, it defo needed 'relatives' in there (4 years, 2 months ago)

tricky @ #583: Ok, but quite easy. (4 years, 2 months ago)

tricky @ #10577: Not bad but very easy, nice one for beginners 😊 (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33210: I'll forgive Alice because of the classic film "A town like Alice". However Zwergin is indeed German for female dwarf but the link is too tenuous as gin Ger doesn't not appear at the beginning like the others. This is supposed to be a Medium grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33179: Thanks, where there's a 'will' there's a way! I liked the animals too (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33188: Good ty. I always enjoy a hidden word. Wasn't Merkel a Christian Democrat? JSB was a choirmaster at a church. So there's two Jewish people having an each way bet : D (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33185: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33192: some wonderful crossovers which kept me guessing right to the end- very well crafted (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33191: Haha, stjohn. Its a horse's rear < : - O Glad to know others give themselves extra time - 3 mins often is a real push. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33191: enjoy your 10 /10 with pride- I try to be as inclusive as possible with the accepted terms- if you ever don't get a point from me it's probably more of a slip up than deliberate stinginess!The extra layers are more often just there for interest but I want folks to get points if possible :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jordan @ #1942: Exceptionally tough wall. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33192: good, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33191: I got the 10/10 BUT only because of the lead in and an extra 2 mins on refresh. PLUS, I should in fairness dock (horse apparently says J ;-] ) myself 6 points as I did not see/get all the other words. Hope you had as much fun making as I did"solving" (sic) Thank you 5* (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nz @ #33192: Meter should be spelt metre. It is quite different (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33187: Enjoyable thanks, I always enjoy hidden words. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33167: I'm sorry it's hard there- you could do without the hassle, I'm sure! If it's any consolation, your grids are distinctively you- it's quite easy to tell if its not the real Mccoy. :D x (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33191: Using up the last of my family collection- slightly easier one? I just couldn't let "tauntingly" go without a fight! Now I've used it I can put this idea to bed :D (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33167: Thanks Lorna! Well said all. ( I am just a harmless mum not looking for trouble!). Times are so difficult at the moment, even more so here in Melbourne where we are back in lockdown. So as my mother would say "can't we all just get along" haha. I will stick with my J for now. Don't worry Colmac ,all is forgiven : ) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33188: Nicely done Kuba, if I was someone else [which I am not - I think] I might point out that Germany as an autonomous country did exist when JSB was born. But as I said I am not, I put Jewish. Neat little herrings worked in. Thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33177: Thanks for testing me on my ESP! :) Not quite feeling the connection though- coulrophobic arachnophile myself- but thanks for sharing?! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Colmac @ #33167: It was the souvignon grid! It was actually quite hard to make a deliberately bad grid without it being too bad! It was just a bit of fun. I love this site and appreciate all the work that people put in. Negative comments are so unnecessary and spoil what is otherwise one of the finest corners of the Internet! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Gagalady @ #33188: Nice :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33174: A good "all one thing" grid which still manages to be unique with good crossovers. Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33173: Wow! Witty, particularly busy line, surreal (swamp rabbit) really informative, super fiendish. I now mentally brace myself when I see your name! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33171: I didn't have a hope in hell of solving this, but it is so very well constructed, top work (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33170: @bathfood- please do try, they're so much fun and I think you'll enjoy compiling one (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33170: So satisfying- I found it an easy spot but I think I had the slight advantage of trying one of these once- I have to say I think you did it better! But so fun to do, like a word ladder puzzle. thanks- work went into this, much appreciated :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33169: Interesting and fun, thanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33163: Well I made an ass of myself. Knew what was going on but couldn't pin down the right ones. Well done and thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33167: A 5* grid very clever and enjoyable. I've been on the receiving end of troll grids made in my name and also of pedantry and criticism- so I see both sides here- it is hard to ignore it but I have found that the easiest thing is to just let it go- people with their own issues often use t'internet to vent; the anonymity can make them forget that they are in contact with other, real human beings- with that in mind it's easier to not take it too personally because that's exactly what it is- impersonal. It is unfortunately the down- side of something that is, particularly in the current situation, a blessing and a wonderful tool for connecting with people. It's human nature I'm afraid, as is getting frustrated by it. I'm loving your grids, they're a lot of fun and that is what it's all about; it's a game! I for one enjoy it all the more having you, stjohn etc here and am grateful for the work put in. Always quality, always positive comments and a friendly approach- the upside to this website. Big hugs :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33176: Creative, thanks. They don't all work as smoothly as you might want (e.g. spider web, Mitchel & Webb, webbed feet are all slightly different. Or; buffalo wings exist, but I wouldn't call a buffalo a 'thing with wings'), but the categories were varied enough that you could make the connections either way, so I guess that doesn't matter too much. I especially liked the 'bill' row. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33179: Nice, thanks. I liked the hidden animals. I'd change giant/cowboy to giants/cowboys so they are red herrings for the sports team row. I now guessed that group based only on the fact that they were all in plural. Which is good for me, since I don't know squat about sports (don't even know which sport these teams play), but too easy for a grid. (btw ignore Pat. All he ever does is complain.) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33182: Nice variety. Liked the row of drinks with a letter missing. Thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Web @ #33169: Excellent grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33166: Class (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33163: terrific wordplay, fun and challenging :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33164: I thought it was a valiant effort- the groups are very similar with a lot of crossovers; this makes it harder to pull off as a unique grid- I lack the knowledge to tell if it is or not but fair play for trying it (4 years, 2 months ago)

evan smith @ #33075: too far of a connection not challenging simply frustrating (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33184: Nice one Little, did not get the Ben line [was looking at the wrong end]. thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

thomas @ #33147: (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33179: The one that contains animals doesn't accept "animal" as an answer? (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33175: @Horatio - my first attempt at this type of grid try #32903 or #32936, much better, thanks for your comments (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33171: Very good quality, mix of subjects and good red herrings [you were never going get me on the wet stuff though] Thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Horatio @ #33175: Thanks so much for taking the time and posting, but four word cycles? Wow, and some so tenuous with a single letter shared - I got zero (which is fine, I am a bear of very little brain) but just don't think this grid gave a fair stab at success. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #33170: Lovely craftsmanship in making each of these sets. I'd have been pleased with making one.! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33173: Another day of learning - Only an Englishman would dare LoL. So much fascinating history that has passed me by.Thank you Yerushalmi (4 years, 2 months ago)

Bathfood @ #33158: Lovely. The ovine row especially had some very nice penny-drops. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33176: Not very easy as billed, got untangled, flapped a bit but once I cracked it, I flew. Nicely done Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33167: @ Colmac - was this the souvignon? If so you are forgiven. Most on here like to play the game, whether solving,posting or both. Some, no names no pack drill seem to believe it is their right to pick holes and score one-up-manship. The downside of this, in my opinion is that regular players tend to play grids by those names they recognise and I am guilty of this, and pass new posters who get overlooked. To conclude, yes it was wrong[ish] but I will not cast the first stone. Keep posting and playing and grow another skin [easier said than done] I have been targeted by Trolls etc in the past, but PuzzGrid friends persuaded me not to leave. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #33156: Nice, thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33167: hm not a great idea. Better to just say what is on your mind- like stjohn did recently about critical types. I dont think this other J person is genuine. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Colmac @ #33167: A week ago I made a deliberately bad grid and called myself ‘Pat’. Is this wrong? Was a bit annoyed that the real Pat kept leaving critical comments, but never made a grid of their own! (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33170: happy 10/10. I enjoyed that idea. Must have taken patience to construct. (signed: still the real J!) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33167: got it wrong they began with 33, very recent. if there was a J before say 2 months ago, that would be different. Will wait and see. cheers (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33132: good grid, just edit out the word root from your answer description to satisfy Percy Thrower. ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33167: Stjohn, the 2 others that are not me are 13132 and 13134. Looking at the comments, I wonder if it is 'trolling' (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33167: Yes I began my first 2 under the Australian flag (in Melbourne) but the format defaults to UK - and I am London born anyway, so left it as UK. This second J posted 2 just in the last couple of days - but that is all I have noticed. I left them msgs on the grids. I have been doing grids off and on for years but only submitting in the past couple of months (bored in lockdown). If someone else predates me prior to my Aust posts, then I will just have to change my name? thanks for your help (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33167: @ J & J first J post I see was with Aussie flag #32206, there was a later J post # 32228 where you or J said they were just starting. Check out the comments on these. StJohn (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33167: I started submitting a few weeks ago. Just noticed the other J yesterday. Has there been a previous one stjohn? (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33106: @J, Hi, yes I noticed it a few weeks ago and mentioned it in one of my comments. User names are not registered and anyone can use any signature at any time. I did it my self when the "trolls" were attacking mine for some reason. I don't think this instance is malicious, just a little confusing and irksome to yourself and probably the other J, I can usually tell by the grid formats and contents which is which. You will either have to live with it or change. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33157: Very clever and loved the red herring [AH designed I assume]. Plus Brontes was also a cyclops. thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33106: Hi stjohn. Saw your comment. May I ask, was there another J before me? I have been submitting for a few weeks and noticed another person using my J in the past day or two? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #13243: Irritated by publicschool issue but still clever. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33154: Yes stjohn I am the J you have left comments on. I noticed another one using my name yesterday. left a msg with their grids asking who they were. If they continue, might have to change to something like 'formerly J' and hope they don't do the same. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33158: I nearly didn't give you this one- it's extremely stretchy- yes- I know- but I had a lot of nice words left over from my last effort, and I think it's as good as it's going to get. If you hate it- if the links don't work for you- I well understand- it's just a bit of fun. But I didn't want to waste it so here you go!

JamieQ @ #33101: Very good. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33106: Thank you, it has always been my intention to provide a grid that is interesting, challenging and above all enjoyable. I never intend to "win" I may fail from time to time but that is my ethos. I could have made it more difficult but what is the point? Always give people an "in". There are folks out there who are far cleverer or more knowledgeable than I (no names you know who you are) and that is great. But to those who can only get pleasure by knocking or nitpicking - you are tiresome. It is easier and so less skilled to undermine than to construct. So before you do pick up on a spelling error or say it don't sound the same to me! remember or think this may be a first effort and you casually deride. Rant over, Pavarotti is up next.

jms @ #33067: Homophones are so dodgy for me..I'm a Bristolian!! Good grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Steve @ #32739: 10/10 in 29 seconds. I'm retiring. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Patrice @ #33091: damn this one really got me :) :) :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Facade @ #33091: dumb grid; don't waste your time the numbers are random and the 4 links are "number" 12,5,1,9 6,10,2,13 7,14,3,11 4,15,8,12 (4 years, 2 months ago)

Patrice @ #33090: this is incredible please keep doing what youre doing (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33090: What a crock of sh*t this is. Game company called phone? Motorbike not an acceptable answer of Honda etc (note how I capitalized the word as the instructions tell you to) England have won the World Cup and you can't spell crumpet Are you sure they all started in China....this one sounds a bit racist to me? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fionark @ #33059: Really nice idea. The solutions should allow all spellings of the answers :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33071: Nice (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33088: I assume I have completed the edited version 7/10. Worked for me, thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Patrice @ #33086: Anyone who didn't get 0 on this, respect. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fionark @ #33086: Nice idea - lots to do for those of small brain like ourselves :P (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33084: nice and easy - except for gladiators, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33086: challenging thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jenny @ #33086: I think there are too many steps to take for the time given worked out some Alice in Wonderland clues just in time (4 years, 2 months ago)

Patrice @ #33088: Yeah i realised afterwards I made a mistake I didn't spot while creating the grid; is there a way to edit these? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33042: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33088: really liked the endings one, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33082: So when you post "silly" in future we know it means it has lots of possible solutions apart from the one you chose....at least we know. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33089: The Coffee group has educated me.......nice mixture. (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #33086: Lettuce made me giggle too!! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33047: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33084: Lots of crossovers but solvable with thought. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33088: Suitable connections not accepted are English cities and US presidents when the groups are English cities and US presidents. The definitive article connection is vague at best. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33069: This is beyond fiendish. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #33084: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #33082: I literally gave you advance notice that the grid was silly. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33082: Exactly my point. There are numerous "correct" solutions to this grid making it a poor grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #33069: Every day's a school day with you stjohn, only managed 2/10 (no groups) but enjoyed learning more about mythology. ty (check your spelling of nesTeratu/nesFeratu before the spelling police descend!) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Dev @ #33082: Shoddy (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33086: 5/10 on one refresh [work calls]. Thanks Sooz, who'd have thought icebergs were so funny : -)) (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #33086: My cryptic grids are not intended to be done in the time limit, though kudos if you do, I suggest you take a screen shot and just kick back with a coffee. :-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

eurydice @ #685: Solved with 2 seconds to spare. I liked Corn(wall), the bird red herrings, and the _ch ending (which I didn't see until I'd got the other groups). A good challenge, so I'm happy to score 10 on it! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33082: Ewe wuz write - scilli 👌 good fun thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lal @ #29991: Easy , but entertaining (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33079: thought it was too general but will go with consensus and add anagram (4 years, 2 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #33082: When the words are this short, almost every word is one you can add a letter to to make another word. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33082: There are alternative solutions to this one. Example..... Swap Tie with Bead and the connections could still be two vowels with the other one being words you can add a letter to make another word. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33070: Quality grid, thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33084: Nice mix, lots of crossovers Got tangled up with the dog thingumy Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33042: The awards group is nice idea, but quite novel, and therefore difficult. So it would be better if you avoided making it even harder by including obscure members like Rossum. As for Hawk, did you mean Hawks? If not, then that one is very obscure too. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33079: Should allow "anagrams" as answer. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33079: As below, it does tell you to check your grid before submitting. Too many errors. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #33079: Good grid. Rejects anagrams as answer to anagrams. The expression is to Make your Mark, not marks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lou @ #33079: I agree with freddgar, they ARE anagrams of each other, ambiguous answer (4 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #33066: Managed them all except the talking group, in which I could do little to get there in the time. Thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33071: 10/10 eventually with 4 seconds to spare! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33068: 10/10. Fun grid, thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33064: 10/10 that group are rich pickings for puzzgriders, well done (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33048: Well crafted. Enjoyed. Bit of a gap in my reading, never read Pratchett. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33060: Mindblowing stuff! Which I'm coming to expect when I see the name Yerushalmi along with top quality quirkiness and an education. Way out of my depth here and wasted time on Eh too! Nevertheless, 5* and humble hat removal from me! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33059: Pure poetry. 5* from me very much well earned and deserved. Beautiful and fun :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33047: very good thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33057: Lovely grid- I loved Firefly so got that- it was the simple ones which tripped me up! Top notch (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33058: Allman brothers "Jessica" theme music to Top Gear for many years, liked the pres cross overs (4 years, 2 months ago)

Theone @ #33061: Beater only sounds like beta with a particular accent - Bee-tah versus Bee-terr. We agree with Nighteyes about mu. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33061: I'll take the moo, but please spell manoeuvres correctly, slightly irksome sorry. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33058: Lovely grid, though I thought Allman was a bit obscure. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #33061: Moo is not a homophone for mu. Mu is pronounced more like myu. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33060: A typical Yerushalmi grid. US centric [nowt wrong with that] Topics that are beyond the mere mortal [like me] Educational [though whether or not I wish learn and adsorb/absorb? not so sure. Nearly always presented with wit and a chuckle. So I say Eh! to Au and may "Give" it another go. Maybe one I'll find in my realm. Thank you Yerushalmi (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #33059: A refreshing change, 10s all round. Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #33057: Well played @stjohn. It was awash with herrings! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33043: Did you miss "cryptic" in the name? It's there for a purpose. Why do you use question marks after a statement? You know my handle by now, please avoid if it is not your cup of tea. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33059: Full house and fun, works for me, thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33043: Too complicated for three minutes. I'm not an expert on villages in the Dordogne???? (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33057: Well played Smiley just the summer one's I did not get. Just got mal, thought a name then concluded a small version of Trafford centre. Cor I'm a great gormless eejit! Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Will Farrell @ #33051: excellent (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33048: Enjoyed this grid? - YES. I refreshed once, then took screen shot, went and made a coffee, and a lot of "research" though. Boy oh boy [Girl oh girl] you know how to mix things up. Thank you Lorna 5***** (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33047: Extremely enjoyable- not too predictable word choices yet not difficult and a nicely varied format. Oh go on then- have 5* (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33031: @ping ping - thank you for taking the time. Please do not think I was being negatively critical but where answers are not self explanatory, and one has to remember that not all players are conversant in the topics you choose, it is useful and helpful to add an explanation. E.g I had got 3 of the 4 Hitch (but still do not know pip in poultry, I am familiar with 3 versions of the film - which version is it?) Plus identifying or believing one has identified 3 of 4 links does not make something "obvious" if the fourth eludes one. I am not an avid reader of George Orwell and the John Flory ref, though perfectly valid was over my head. I have absolutely no objections to my lack of knowledge, hence it is nice to get explanations. Please do not feel offended, please do more, there are a number of people here that love cryptic style grids, Regards (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #17624: The soft drinks brands threw me off - Lipton, Schweppes and Pepsi are all brands, but Fanta is a drink underneath Coca-Cola (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #15242: Very Easy, managed to complete in 15 seconds (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ping Ping @ #33031: “What causes pip in poultry” is a very iconic line from The 39 Steps Frayed cluedo weapon - self explanatory (de) Winter at Manderley - the de Winters live at the Manderley Estate in Rebecca Tennis player meets psychopath - tennis is central to the storyline of Strangers on a Train, so if you’ve already worked out the Hitchcock connection this is very obvious. Napoleon says oink - Napoleon is a pig in Animal Farm Indira Gandhi killed - assassinated in 1984 Spanish Civil War memoir - storyline of Homage to Catalonia John Flory further afield (US) - Flory is the protagonist of Burmese Days, which was originally called Further Afield Master Bates, Loner - Mr Bates, Norman (self-explanatory) Just like Austin Powers - Austin Powers is played by Mike Meyers Dr plays with starlings - Dr Hannibal Lecter enjoys playing mind games with Clarice Starling Butcher makes own face - Leatherface butchers his victims and makes a mask from their skin Wide house of worship - Broadchurch, self-explanatory Struggle to break Code - Endeavour Morse, again self-explanatory AC12 doing their job - Line of Duty, self-explanatory Mute traces of evidence - Silent Witness, self-explanatory (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #33031: I agree with everything Lorna and stjohn have written, would love some explanations as that helps us to get on your wavelength to solve future ones. Keep 'em coming please, some of us really enjoy the cryptic grids. ty pingpong (4 years, 2 months ago)

BinDipper @ #33023: Agricultural: of course it is. Good ta. There was a spell a few weeks ago when puzzles were appearing every other minute - none of them any good. I assume lockdown boredom was responsible but I bailed for a while. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #33042: thanks. Would that be Ibsen? (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33037: 5/10 - took a while to solve the wall, about 3'08"[I ran out of time just as it was falling into place]. Good crossovers as lorna said was the key. Thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33033: very enjoyable, thanks very much. Nice "ah" moment when I spotted what was going on with the Sean group :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33031: Some good cryptics here but I agree with stjohn as there are a few I didn't get- if you have time I'd love to see some explanations! I think I lack some film knowledge. Thanks for posting- clearly a lot of effort went in! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33029: Merry Christmas (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33028: absolute genius! 5* Really innovative groups. I love grids which make you smile when you realise what's going on. I especially loved the synonyms but its all good, top work thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #27880: I agree with Lorna and Jahn (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #33031: Not good... (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33031: Smashing effort at cryptic, If I could ask one thing, could you edit and put in explanations as to how the clue was to be solved or why I did not get it e.g pip in poultry etc. Thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #33032: Good (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33023: Stumped by never having heard of the Hog connection.....nice grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Caz @ #33032: Good grid, thanks. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33031: What on earth is this supposed to be? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #33023: smack, box, duck, club, buffet, wound etc were there as false leads- duck, club, wound, box, buffet etc and especially bow (3 groups) were all homographs but used for their meaning rather than as a group; yes "hog tie" is a verb rather than a noun. Oh to be in a small fishing village! Glad you had some success :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33025: Lovely, I have to give you kudos for the fish, one of my favourite lines, ever. Many times I have wanted to use it. So, "so long and thanks for all the fish" from Flipper and family x (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33024: All name grids are tough as was this, there are so many possible combinations. Having said that your x2 was a help, just! as I was thinking Billy Bremner, Danny Blanchflower, Dennis Law, Rodger Hunt etc. So, good grid thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33023: @Mark B more often heard in past tense as in being "hog tied" not a mans clothing accessory. Nice one Lorna, felt as if I was in a fishing village with all those references lol. Failed miserably on completing the wall but got 3 links thought buffet, bow and wound should have had a companion for homowotsits [graphs]. thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #33015: Yup, interesting, well thought out and got me beat. Also liked your descriptive answers, thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fez @ #32923: @Pat - 3 days and 2 hours and you still have not corrected your spelling of souvignon - why? (4 years, 2 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33003: Neat grid, very good! I think you might add “offensive” or “outdated” in the definition of the tart group. They’re all words though so fair enough. (4 years, 2 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #33009: Very good. I wasn’t quite specific enough with the titanic group but otherwise I worked them out, just! Constructive feedback: allow “synonym” as an answer if that’s the link :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #33016: Who is Andrea - the Oscar nominated director? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #32978: @Pat Sorry if you missed some connections, but most of your remarks are incorrect The song title is 4'33, not spelled in any other way. Hindsight 20/20 is usually spelled with the slash, too. Check your facts before you criticize, please. Though I do realize now that a dime is not a number, so sorry about that one. (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #33002: Me too Lorna :-) only 5/10 this time but was a fun challenge ty stjohn (4 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #796: Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't like the letters-based connection much - the words should have some common meaning, surely. Also, Luck Out? That's an American usage and I don't know why it would be in a UK grid - I never hear even young people use it here (4 years, 2 months ago)

Mauvo @ #33000: Nice. The correct spelling is "leveret" rather than "leverett" though, and the "Wick" row didn't accept "candle". (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32981: Which Mercedes are you referring to? Mercedes Jellinek who gave the name to the car company was Austrian....... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32978: Some loose ends - 4'33 should be 4 33?, the sayings connection is quite poor - dime is not a number, 20/20 should be 20 20 etc. (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32988: ...and managed that anagram - tough/good all round! thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

JayDee @ #10551: Agree with other comments. I put everything in the correct groups but the categories themselves were really tenuous. What are these famous books? What are saint rhymes? (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32987: thanks lorna, wasn't 'confused' with that anagram (4 years, 2 months ago)

JayDee @ #32986: Really good one. Interesting categories and nicely challenging. Thank you. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32931: Got to say there are some fine new grid setters. Great (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32931: Ooh, got me with red herring soon. Mmm on suit? Thanks good grid well done thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32932: Excellent, took me down two blind alleys and when I finally found a link, could not get the fourth. Loved it thank you👍 (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32939: Excellent fisty thanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Y @ #32828: Oops, finally noticed the two in network. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Y @ #32828: Network doesn't contain an even number, unless you're including ten spelled backwards. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fisty @ #32933: Good gird, chimney Rock quite obscure. But once got them all has to be rock. Tja ks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Y @ #32941: The connection for the Brooks/Seacrest grouping is difficult to parse. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32941: Good, yes good (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32938: Ah! Portuguese. I was harsh with my other comment. It as true though. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32940: There are some grids where you see disparate words and you are intrigued. This wasn't one of them. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32939: Good, expand your answers please. Caught? Oh now I get it. thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32937: Oh very nice. There are some grids and all you see are disparate words that make no sense. There also similar grids BUT you want to know. This was the latter. This is the second grid where there has been a mix and I approve. Very enjoyable, thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32936: Then you keep your tricks up your sleeve. Always find the hardest thing is the originality.😀 (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32936: I nearly didn't do another one of these, so glad you liked it! I like Soozy's idea of flagging the cryptics, but with some of mine the trick is to spot the format, then it should be plain sailing, so I opted to keep it a surprise rather than give the game away :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32933: Yay ! Surprised myself with this one 😁10s all round Good grid, nice spread of subjects Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #32933: enjoyable (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #32934: My favourite kind of grid..good one (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32936: Thanks for putting a smile on my face. 5***** Didn't think you'd do it so soon and puzzled for a while then thought what if? and boom. ty 👌 (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32934: It made me chuckle. A fun grid :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32932: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32920: thanks, liked the grass one (4 years, 2 months ago)

joe @ #32924: i'm still cracking up at bum hole (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32934: @ lorna - thank you for your respected comments. I have received plenty of Roberta in the past, am sure will get more in the future. I go with what pops in my head - some work/more fun than others (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32934: I definitely learned something! You'll probably get flack for the "d" -"j" homowotsits, accent thing- for what it's worth I enjoyed it! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32933: nice, well rounded grid thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Webb @ #32934: Difficult? Yes Incomprehensible? Yes Enjoyable? No (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32905: Good grid, I failed on the England row Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #693: Summer camp/Band Camp- a bit US-centric for a UK grid? (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32874: Another good one stjohn, ordinary world group stumped me but was still fun having a go ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32920: 10/10 whoop whoop another nice bit of fun ty stjohn (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32895: Only scored 6/10 but loved having a pop at this one, really enjoy a bit of outside the box thinking. Well done and ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32908: Very good, I failed on the Sherlock and Flu rows Good mix of subjects Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Coochies @ #32897: Ignore Joe, this was brilliant. (4 years, 2 months ago)

anon @ #32922: Difficult but fun. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32923: Chablis and Champagne are interchangeable, so not a unique solution to the grid plus 'Souvignon' spelled incorrectly - not bad for a first effort, please have another go. thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32915: Enjoyed that one Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32918: Very good, slipped up on the Win row Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32921: Very good Didn't know the Yellow row Thanks for posting (4 years, 2 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #32901: @stjohn. Like a phantom group? I did for a leak/flow synonyms. Glad someone noticed, haha (4 years, 2 months ago)

Lynda Sereno @ #32906: Thanks for a fun puzzle! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32907: nice grid, have to confess Kuba helped me so cannot take credit. If you can/want to, edit as Kuba points out, pls do, it would tidy things up nicely. thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32901: Nice, question - did you intend a false "-man" group? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #32905: @Pat. Fair enough, I did come up with this one quickly after spending more time on the previous grid. There is only one World Cup red herring with Brazil- Netherlands have finished runners up twice but have never won (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32532: I've just learned about bucket. Fantastic! Thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32915: Smashing, kept me going right to the end. Thanks J (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32899: This one is faulty I have re- submitted (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32905: Sweet, especially use of the Netherlands. Very nice thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

jms @ #32921: Good mix of topics..enjoyable (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32905: Too complicated with too many other potential correct answers, all your world cup winners are also in Europe. Three of the answers are virtually the same with different nationalities....needs more thought. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jane @ #32920: clever (4 years, 2 months ago)

anon @ #32883: Very good quiz! My only commentary is that gold is a metal, not a stone. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32904: nice (4 years, 2 months ago)

jammydodger @ #32897: A lot of fun. Volcano line was brilliant. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32915: I struggle with two add bits to word connections in one puzzle, should only be one. Your answer for Edge etc includes the word edge, perhaps use another synonym such as border? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #32907: The flu-row should be to add 'te' instead of 'ate', but I did really like that row. Took me a while to spot it. Liked the labours of Hercules, too. Nice ideas. (4 years, 2 months ago)

grumpy @ #22244: so "chronicles of narnia" doesnt count ?!?!?! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32919: Not sure Jubilee counts as a celebration. It is an anniversary that is usually celebrated by something else such as a gala.... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jane @ #32918: Good one (4 years, 2 months ago)

Jane @ #32919: Very nice (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ed Mewburn @ #32916: This quiz is rubbish mate #bgs (4 years, 2 months ago)

claude harper @ #32912: Berries should be an acceptable answer for the second line FFS! Berrys is grammatically incorrect (4 years, 2 months ago)

jammydodger @ #32915: The for and lip groups are inspired! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #32897: Utter Rubbish (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32905: thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32898: good thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

some guy @ #357: Two lines with names One line with two words for the same thing, but that's not the connection. Not great (4 years, 2 months ago)

some guy @ #29154: Seconding the dessert issue Good wall though (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #18251: A delight (4 years, 2 months ago)

bdf @ #32909: Harpo & Oprah are not words.... misleading (4 years, 2 months ago)

lou @ #32912: it should be berries, not berrys (4 years, 2 months ago)

some guy @ #19275: Shouldn't need to add famous to bridges. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #659: Really like the Bullseye consolation prizes - not one for the youngsters, and a shame to see the little piggies again, they've been in quite a few grids now (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32908: good (4 years, 2 months ago)

some guy @ #32909: Harpo and Oprah aren't words, they are names (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32912: not accepting nut and berry, perhaps remove inverted commas? thanks for psoting (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32877: Tough but fair, good (4 years, 2 months ago)

DeegZC @ #32532: Beautiful! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Drumzorz @ #10711: I tried "mason" as a guess for the A_ answers, and surprisingly it took it as correct. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Angela @ #32856: Ugh- 2 out of 4! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32904: Good (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #32873: Sorry. A wretched grid. PLACES ! as a group. Rejected job and film genres as answers. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #32876: I liked the grid. A bit of variety. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Rhygar @ #32904: Catherine not Kathrine! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #32876: Nice grid! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #32881: There’s no word starting with Mi?! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32903: Was confused, slightly wiser now [I think] not linear but circular yes? I think this is too hard for most [self included] as is, but would make a smashing grid if notified beforehand, Soozy had the idea that recommended that setters of cryptic grids put 'cryptic' to there setters names. Must have taken ages to compile so I commend and would like to see more if you have the energy. Thank you lorna (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #32894: Nice grid (4 years, 2 months ago)

Laura @ #32899: Wasn’t keen on this at all I’m afraid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32899: Interesting concept, I think this is would test residents of Bletchley Park (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32903: Apologies- here is the revised version of the last grid- SPOILER ALERT I accidentally had a loop of 5 as I was too keen to have conker as a red herring (beacon- conker- kermes etc) Sorry folks! :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32897: Got closer with this one [am going to have to refresh or screen shot from now on] missed the hiddens though I was sure that were there somewhere, also know why I failed my A level geography cirques cwms and corries yes drumlins yes but bs and cm no. thank you lorna (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32899: Apologies there is a mistake on this grid I will edit it (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fisty @ #32876: Good grid, stumped on Andrews. Ignore pat, just like she ignores the submit button (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32896: Very good, got me suckered in with Eric Blair, actually laughed out loud at my naivete congrats. Enjoyable thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

K @ #32715: Interesting grid. Really disappointed the sofa category didn't take "solfege" as an answer though. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #30746: I would like to echo all the words of please select the rabbit [except I only scored 2] Well done thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32248: I liked this grid very much. oh so nearly got me cos I thought I knew my uisge beatha. 10/10 for me and you. thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32885: just to play devil's advocate- fish are not exclusive to cold places but they are something you may find there, I think that was the intent? Let's give people the benefit of the doubt :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32895: Excellent! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #30746: Very nice! I loved the sinatra. I knew it sounded familiar but couldn't put my finger on it. Kept thinking 'the lunatic, the lover, and the poet'. (4 years, 2 months ago)

gaffer @ #32865: Too many errors to mention (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tam @ #32885: I suppose the fishfingers in my freezer are cold. But seriously..... (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32895: I LOVED this one! 5* that was a lot of fun and the after group was genius! I've been away from the site for a while, really pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality I've come back to. Thanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #32833: Nice. I liked the jobs row (4 years, 2 months ago)

gaffer @ #32882: William RodgerS, Shirley WilliamS and Roy JenkinS were in the SDP gang of 4!! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #32875: Great work! Creative and original (4 years, 2 months ago)

Webbq @ #32885: Ceaser?!? Fish are animals from cold places. Who knew? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #32611: Nice one! Can't believe I put 'ou' as the link instead of 'our' ... Thanks for making (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #32739: Liked the clock one! 'easy' level is appropriate (4 years, 2 months ago)

gaffer @ #32817: if you refind something it is refound. In dictionary. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #11973: Honestly, on an easy grid like this, people should just be able to figure out that wollen is supposed to be woollen See it as a fun extra challenge :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Marmendcrpyt @ #32876: Really good grid, enjoyed it Soozy, thanks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

RBR45 @ #32885: mixing 1st names and surnames in a group - not good (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #2621: I really liked it. Curling terms, I had no idea. But the other ones were clear. I liked these anagrams. Usually you spot them straight away, but these were a bit more hidden :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #10131: Good one (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #14499: Great (4 years, 2 months ago)

Kuba @ #7639: Can't believe I didn't get 'Brood' after I kept getting distracted by the meaning of it in my language (Dutch), and I kept telling myself 'no - it's the English brood!' And then it wasn't. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32248: Having to give a latin family name for an answer is tricky.... (4 years, 2 months ago)

freddgar @ #32885: Tropical fish ??? (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32854: nice- especially piano group (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32885: Fish = animal from cold place is a bit too loose (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32853: 5* from me too! Brilliant work, witty, and fun. Worth having 2 goes at it (not a film buff- but spotted the theme). (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32894: You need to add "group" as a key word for Oasis etc. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32870: Ok grid, omg? And put postponement for future reference, thank you for posting. (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32850: Lovely grid Fisty, thanks :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Thomas @ #32739: easy puzzle. Doesn't warrant the difficulty level given. (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32859: Well done, clever inasmuch 6 watery choices makes it harder to go through trial and error. I did not see occupations thank you (4 years, 2 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #32894: So brilliant I could weep, I won't obviously but I could! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Terrence Tupenny Butterquim @ #32893: I ran out of time on this one. Couldn't get anywhere near the groups - fiendish is so apt! Time to revise my compass points methinks! (4 years, 2 months ago)

AMM @ #32856: Tough, but fun! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Terrence Tupenny Butterquim @ #32850: Great grid Fisty! Very doable and enjoyable. You could really teach some people on here a thing or two on how to construct a grid on this site. I can't say who I'm tasing about but my goodness Lorna's grids are terrible! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #32877: Possibly one of the best grids I've ever had the pleasure of playing! I wasn't overly fond on the use of 'ball' in verbally reprimand though, also the palindromes were at times a bit of a stretch (as well as the repeated vowels in the bird names!). So on reflection quite possibly one of the worst grids I've had the misfortune of playing. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Terrence Tupenny Butterquim @ #32877: Sooo easy. Did this in about 15 seconds and wrote out every answer too. At least try something a little tougher! (4 years, 2 months ago)

brian @ #32870: bit iffy! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32859: Tangly! spent an age on the waters- well done for fitting in so many. Corneas did for me- spotted the anagrams but missed that one. Well done (4 years, 2 months ago)

brian @ #32876: enjoyed it. forgot it was Andrews liver salt. gave andy as answer! (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32870: There's something beautifully lateral about the future group; interesting thinking :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32874: Excellent cryptic yet again, I'm really enjoying these. Raised the game to fiendish by having hidden words nestled amongst cryptic clues- great inherent meanings as camouflage. Very entertaining work, thank you :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #32875: A fantastically satisfying grid! Stylish and not overly complicated. More and more I'm impressed with your work Soozy! Lovely varied, unpredictable topics within an overarching theme, which is difficult to pull off. Keep up the good work :) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #15242: Hot tamale? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #4165: Got a bit lost in the medals and metals..... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32872: Unbelievably, it is now almost 5 hours since you were told about the spelling of Mane. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Ferret @ #32882: Looking to disguise the initials more - it could have stood for Secure Hashing Algorithm or similar. (4 years, 2 months ago)

PACK @ #32882: Why SHA in caps? (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32875: @ Pat, have looked for one of your grids to see how it should be done but not found anything, maybe you submit under a different name? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32865: Some strange answers.....a bishop in the royal family and a pub called The Knight? (4 years, 2 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #32874: @Pat Ordinary World by Duran Duran you will find "Dinar" hidden in the word orDINARy. Maybe some covens are not that well attended and there is only one. Did it stop you getting the link? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32845: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32850: Good grid. Finally spotted the anagrams. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #2312: How come I lose three points for linking Contented, Cheerful etc. as states of happiness? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32849: I was left with two connections that involved 6 planets and 5 roman gods. Impossible to guarantee solving with only three guesses. Too many overlaps. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #18324: Good hidden words (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32855: Agree - joke teller is quite hard to guess, the word funny should be a key term. Also put occupations. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Fionark @ #32870: Not sure OMG is right in that group otherwise fun (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32876: Accept it Pat, you are in the minority on this grid. You get what you pay for, Nowt! Set your own grids then you will always be satisfied with the quality. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #17624: Is violet strictly speaking a shade of blue? (4 years, 2 months ago)

M @ #32876: Well I liked your grid. Thanks (4 years, 2 months ago)

Deb @ #32849: Candy bars not accepted, planets not accepted. Please make your category descriptions a little more open. Otherwise very nice! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Charlie @ #32790: Enjoyable (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32870: Do people really shout OMG when they need help? (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32872: Seems you were told Mane was spelt incorrectly over two hours ago....and it still is. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Charlie @ #32807: Very enjoyable (4 years, 2 months ago)

Adam C @ #32880: Whoop Whoop (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32875: Yes, I just like decent composed puzzles..... (4 years, 2 months ago)

Adam C @ #32878: Yay! (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32876: Course you can do whatever you like, I can also state whatever I like and in this case this is a fairly awful, poorly thought out grid. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Charlie @ #32810: Fun idea but tricky! (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32876: I can do whatever I like Pat, you can also do whatever you like and choose not to bother with grids that obviously naff you off. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32874: I can't work how you get from Ordinary World being a Duran Duran song to Dinar?? A coven is a group of witches, not one, so that doesn't work either. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Adam C @ #32879: pretty easy when you get the connections right! (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32875: Oh Pat, did you get out of the wrong side of bed this morning? just read a comment you left on someone else's grid where you complained about it being overly clever and now my grid is a bit silly, you're hard to please aren't you! (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32877: Lived up to it's fiendish billing in spades! Must admit I also got caught up in the palindrome chasing. Very very clever compilation worthy of a final grid on the actual show but way over my pay grade. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32881: Ok, liked the The The twist (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32875: Really....missing words that have a connection among themselves. A bit silly. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32876: Doesn't work. Brown is either missing, in front or behind. You can't use two spellings of Taylor/Tailor? (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32870: OMG group foxed me for a link, 7/10 nice bit of fun ty for posting. (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32866: Nice straightforward grid, ty for posting G (4 years, 2 months ago)

Pat @ #32877: I don't like the overly clever ones that have a red herring such as the palindromes in this one. also having two sets of hidden words is not good. (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32872: Woah, steady on peeps, it's a slight mistake that should not have caused you to not score 10/10. Nice easy grid to warm up on ty peggy, don't let the meanies put you off posting more grids, I've a reputation for 'bloopers', just check and double check before hitting the submit button to keep them happy! (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32853: got to admit, I liked it too (4 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #651: Same as 650 why? (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32876: @ stjohn, I didn't even realise that cross over :-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

Webbq @ #32872: Sadio Mane is a Liverpool football. The Marne is a French. These grids are hard enough without glaring errors. (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32875: Can't believe you didn't get the rest of the monkeys clues, over thinking maybe...lol....it's only from my inferior brain remember :-)) (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32853: * you're* (4 years, 2 months ago)

soozy @ #32853: 10/10 absolutely loved solving this one stjohn, your on a roll! 5***** grid. Brilliant fun ty (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32876: Nice mix, neat little twists [could not leave Gordon alone with the 5 group] so blew solving the wall and ended with just 5/10. Feeling less smug now. TY Sooz (4 years, 2 months ago)

stjohn @ #32875: 7/10 a hee-hee grid for me. Got the monkeys but couldn't think of a suitable answer for geo-climatic zones. TY Sooz (4 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #32870: happy 10/10 (4 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #32859: Two lots of anagrams are two too many! Not good (4 years, 2 months ago)

Tom @ #32872: Nice grid, but should be Mané, not Marné. (4 years, 2 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #21404: This will sound pedantic (I'm in good company here though!) - but Stereotypical Teenager should not have a capital T in this context, and as it did I assumed it was part of a band name (with Sabbath, Leopard). Clever grid though :-) (4 years, 2 months ago)

VJ @ #32865: Fun to do, not sure about the difficulty rating. (4 years, 2 months ago)

Theo @ #32869: very nice (4 years, 2 months ago)

The Zarn @ #32834: 3/10. Tough but love it and great explanations. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #2661: bunch of nitpickers in the comments. Need some cheese with your whine? Of course a ewe is an animal as much as the others. And a homonym = homophone. And there is nothing racist about the fact that some words are derived from native american languages. Great grid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Forbes_has_spoken @ #32781: Excellent (4 years, 3 months ago)

neilb4god @ #32849: There are too many potential (and different) rights answers between the Roman gods and planets categories. As VCM says, "many clues can fit into multiple categories, but there is only one perfect solution". This doesn't comply. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #32155: Very very nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #29365: I think 'pie in the sky' was clear enough (@ earlier commenter). I have more trouble with 'to the future' backwards = back to the future, and there are some irregularities (like 'a' disappearing from once in a lifetime, but 'the' not disappearing from 'pie in the sky') I really liked the clues for Crow, Going underground and Top of the pops. All in all, supercreative. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #1708: I didn't think it was that hard since the categories were obvious. But it was very creative and I do have to brush up on term like 'spoonerism'. Also confused oxymoron with pleonasm... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #17271: Very nice. Didn't spot the 'sweet' one. Agree: not too hard for medium at all (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fisty @ #32790: Too many trees? That's the point, need crossovers!! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #650: Joan - I went with "brands used generically" and was pleasantly surprised to have it accepted (4 years, 3 months ago)

roadrunnr @ #32841: Misspelled "Webber", doesn't seem to accept anything other than the exactly worded answers, which is rather frustating. Not getting one point because an answer isn't accepted is okay, but getting no points at all because of this is.. a bit much ;-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

yo_envio @ #30814: I take it back, I guess bonefish is a real thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (4 years, 3 months ago)

yo_envio @ #30814: I think "Bone" sticks out a bit, since (I assume) the connection is meant to be "fish bone." All the others in the group have fish at the end, i.e. "catfish," "tigerfish," "swordfish." Other than that, great grid! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Spencil @ #32832: Great grid! Although I was docked a point for "Ladies" instead of "Lady", which got me slightly miffed. All in all though, good grid! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #32833: Very enjoyable, and I got in in 52secs! Yes Donuts, Animal is a muppet, but muppets are puppets too!😄 (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32822: an excellent cryptic. One or two strokes of genius here. thank you stjohn, lovely to have some cryptics to solve! (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32832: brilliant :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32834: Genius! Really interesting and original, an entirely new spin on an old concept which threw me entirely, to my delight! More like this would be most welcome. Thank you, top quality 5* (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32833: very clever crossovers esp. family group :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32835: a 5 * grid- well constructed, varied, intelligent and original. Supremely enjoyable, thank you very much. Was convinced that the shot group was "things that happened to some historical figure's head". Overthought my way back to stupid! (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32822: Loved this one, one of your best, anyone not able to do well with this one just doesn't 'get' cryptic. We solved all the clues except one, should it not have been he has kids? for the first part? and yet we got the one the others are talking about. ty stjohn 5*** (4 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #32828: What a pointless grid. Just someone trying to show how clever they are... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #27754: Great one. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32822: If, one, like I support a football team that is not a Liverpool etc, then finishing (ends) without losing then all's well that finishes well. Hope that clarifies. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fergus @ #32815: Good grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fergus @ #32822: Had to do it twice to solve it all! Very enjoyable. Agree with halsmitch- didn't quite "get" Finished1-1. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fergus @ #32833: Very enjoyable (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #32820: @stjohn well done. It was a tough one I think. And I’ve done similar face palms when faced with groups I’ve used before. Or even doing a whole wall I’ve done before! (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32826: thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

I truly @ #32714: had a lovely time! (4 years, 3 months ago)

afiller @ #2297: did't get this one. clever and fun (4 years, 3 months ago)

halsmitch @ #32777: as a Scot, I would spell it "wean". Fun board, made me think (4 years, 3 months ago)

halsmitch @ #32781: tough, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

halsmitch @ #32816: tricky but got there! (4 years, 3 months ago)

halsmitch @ #32822: this was a great idea, struggled to get there in the time. Not sure that finished 1-1 works. (4 years, 3 months ago)

halsmitch @ #32825: NASCAR not an anagram, it's an acronym (4 years, 3 months ago)

afiller @ #15242: very easy, not many red herrings (4 years, 3 months ago)

radish @ #32826: wow so good (4 years, 3 months ago)

the boys @ #32028: which one of you inbreds considers "gorilla" and "guerilla" to be homophones. explain yourselves and try to marry someone who doesn't look too similar to you. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32820: I will take a commendable 6/10 only got the 'empires' line because i was humming the tune to the other one as I played. And Gawd 'elpus, missed the Wall, only used it myself a couple of grids ago, Thank you Smiley (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gridder @ #32790: Anagrams of (some obscure) UK rivers is a step too far... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gridder @ #32796: It's maths. FFS. Two good categories, two terrible ones (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gridder @ #32786: Rediculous?? It's ridiculous.... (4 years, 3 months ago)

gaffer @ #32817: also 're' works (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32549: wow Soozy I am IMPRESSED! Not ashamed to say I fluffed it, brilliantly cryptic and fiendish. Thank you xx (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #238: Have to say I got this one really really quickly compared to other grids, so it felt more like 'easy', but maybe I was just lucky. I do like the clear categories with still good herrings. Also, this might not be the place to bring this up, but there's no point in referring to 3rd line, 4th line etc. The position of the lines depends on what you guess first, they're different to everyone. (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32547: very clever and fun (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #17376: Nice grid. Got the last two kinda on a guess, but saw the connection once they were in a row. Agree about Johns not being obscure at all. All the clues were good. (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32550: wonderful, kept me working til the end. Great grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #21012: Very very nice. Medium is a good rating. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #29192: Really nice, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32554: nice, original ideas :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32558: clever hidden coffee :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32574: It's hard to strike a chord with everybody- although it wasn't my cup of tea exactly and I had no chance of solving this, I appreciate that when people write what they know it allows for more variety of grids, and sometimes you learn something (vexillology- great word!) Even a brilliantly constructed grid can be dragged down, I feel, by having 1 or more cliched or overused categories, so thanks for being a bit different :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #5890: I disagree about it being in the wrong category. e.g. if you don't know the Christie novels, the whole grid is hopeless. There are still a lot of things I haven't heard of, like Gatling Gun, or a Farthing being a coin... I am non-native. But still, this is definitely one that requires background knowledge to figure out. It was good. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #1875: Facepalming so hard. I tried all the palindromes and thought 'well, I guess that's a red herring'. Only afterwards noticed that Aibohphobia is a palindrome that I just missed somehow. (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32639: quality that stands out, thank you :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32642: fun, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #7712: Hard but good. I don't like grids that use a lot of names, but that's just my preference. (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32777: I like the way your brain works, very much :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Andy @ #30872: Is "longbottom" an actual type of pants? (4 years, 3 months ago)

BARBARA @ #32786: really original and enjoyable (4 years, 3 months ago)

Caz @ #32155: One of the best grids I've played. Very well made. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fenwick T @ #3757: Pretty nice. I fell for the colours; that was a frustrating red herring to overcome; spent about a minute on it! Silly me! (4 years, 3 months ago)

L @ #683: Loved the Elope, Hem, Arctic, Hill. Finished 10/10 with 2:12 left (4 years, 3 months ago)

UngaMonkeyP @ #32807: Liked this one, challenging and enjoyable (4 years, 3 months ago)

Starfruit @ #30982: Some obvious links and others not so easy. Who knew there was a "Candy"? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Homer Simpson @ #32796: I really struggled on this one; don't know what's wrong with me. D'oh! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #525: Graphs have scale for sure, but where is the axis on a map? (4 years, 3 months ago)

WistyEL @ #32807: I liked the 3rd of 26 but thought the 9th one unnecessary in the same quiz. Would've worked if they'd all been of this pattern, or just one. Hope to see more clues like the red group in the future. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fenwick T @ #32809: I really enjoyed this one! Elements? I didn't see any of those what are they lol. I lick sockets. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #435: Scotland - look up the meaning of phonetic. That was the Nato alphabet, nothing phonetic about it (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32777: Good grid only 2/10 for me, only know one gaga song and that was in the wrong line for me. Made me chuckle, well done and thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32790: 2/10 for me, it was all there but.... ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32784: I struggled, Grid was much better than I originally thought. Subject matter not really in my realm, but all achievable even for the likes of me. So well done TY [p.s. not a fan of HP] (4 years, 3 months ago)

Stella Hall @ #32795: Really enjoyed this! Nice grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32793: The grid was easy enough to solve even with so many Scottish and equine choices. I know where you are coming from but there are 2 possible correct answers for the colt line. Thank you for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32797: Not normally a fan of number grids, this had merits then 8008 let it down. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32794: very good only got 3/10 so so so sure there were homophones especially polish. Well done, truly beaten but enjoyed it. Ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32795: R! I C no UK, TY - J (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32796: 4/10 for me, counted the u's then dismissed doh! and chi thinking chakra. Ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32802: 7/10 also, me a gull so,n,so ty and welcome to posting. (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32802: 7/10. Can't believe I missed the reeds group, one of my fav shows. Great grid ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32807: 7/10, should have got dance group, bit of brain freeze going on there duh!! ty enjoyed this one. (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32798: Only 4/10 but good grid, nice variety without the dreadful umpteenth crossovers, ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32806: Far from 'easy' stjohn, but had fun trying ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #24857: Very very nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32730: Think I'm going to throw the towel in on compiling cryptic ones, takes me longer to type all the stuff in than anyone seems to spend trying to solve the clues...lol...even though my system is always the same, synonyms and anagrams, peeps still seem to struggle to get on my wave length. So it's goodnight from crypticsooz :-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32798: Good grid, got tripped up bt ugal Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32798: port issac or isaac? thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #32790: Too many trees (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32795: sorry thought I deleted UK - but Liddell definitely worked as a nurse with his brother in Chinese hospital (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #32798: Very nice grid, though it should be 'Isaac' not 'Issac' (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #21449: I too was looking for sitting duck to be on there! Nice variations, though (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #28408: Very enojoyable. I like the theme, but there was still variation within it with history, geography, science... One of the best ones I've seen on here. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #29189: Very nice, I liked the variety in categories. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #98: I liked it. Clever categories. My only complaint would be that in the do-re-mi category everything is spelled the 'normal' way except ray, which makes the group incoherent. But I liked the red herrings of female animals & pronouns (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #17728: Very nice. I'd also mark it 'easy' as there aren't that many red herrings (the only one I see is Telegraph). But coherent and I like the categories you chose. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32795: Nice grid, hate to criticise [as I often blooper myself] but Teresa UK? and Liddlell a nurse? thank you J (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #683: This was a great one. Good connections, good herrings (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32795: yes i know there are differing opinions on Mother Teresa (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #11619: Really nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #1818: Nice. I thought there were good red herrings, with the rope murder weapon and Rebecca Rabbit. But it's true that at least the 4 groups are quickly clear, if not the exact matches. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #29074: p.s. LMAO at all the people saying "ston" isn't a unit of weight. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #29074: It was okay. I liked the weight ones. Tennant is misspelled, yeah. I never like the ones with lots of names since they require more ready knowledge about those people and less lateral/creative thinking. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #12138: quite nice. The 'old' category was too obscure for me, but maybe not for natives. Also misread 'gris' as 'girls' so that didn't help :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

abc @ #32795: Please read 'The Missionary Position' by Christopher Hitchens. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #3757: Pretty nice. The red herring was a little obvious. I didn't even try hitting the colours. As for @Ines, nowhere in the quiz does it say they had to be edible berries. They could have put 'huckleberry' and it would have been legitimate. (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #17903: I thought the inclusion of Queen was clever, it made me doubt my first thought, which turned out to be corrrect! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #307: @ Johanna This is a UK grid; people in the UK generally buy things from shops, not stores (although we do have 'Superstores') To avoid this kind of problem, check US grids in the start menu and you'll avoid local peculiarities. That's how I filter out US brands and TV shows. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Laura @ #32786: It’s spelt ridiculous though! Not REDiculous (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #184: I do think the dog/hat commenters have a point. These are not red herrings, but they are actually completely interchangeable. That's not the same thing. Did like the grid, though. I didn't even spot the interchangeability until I read the comments. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #10711: Superbe. Especially the a-b-c-d connections within the answers. And I don't think any clues are "too obscure". It's about logic as much as knowledge, and often enough you gotta reason it out without knowing exactly what something is. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fenwick T @ #32778: I am very stupid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fenwick T @ #32781: This was epic!!! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #10172: Great, good job. Nice red herring ;) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #7062: P.S. Captain pugwash? Gotta go google that right now. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #7062: definitely hard (but that is as a non-native), so I think the label is good! Even after seeing the groups, I still wasn't able to make most connections since 50% of the words I had never heard before (4 years, 3 months ago)

Benjamin G @ #26395: I HATE THIS (4 years, 3 months ago)

good at puzzles @ #26395: I am good at puzzles and this sucks soo much (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fenwick T @ #26395: THIS SUCKED! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Clare @ #32780: Loved it - really clever when you see the fun twist. Another great wall from you, looking forward to the next one x (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #17624: very nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #2296: Nice. I liked the 'things you draw' (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #4582: this one a bit too easy. Should be labeled easy (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #21280: This is the easiest one I've done on here so far. Bit disappointed though that simply entering 'chocolate' was labeled incorrect. Nice herrings. Although I think a lot of the same ones were used in an only connect episode? They looked familiar. Maybe that's why it was easier. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #186: This was way too easy for a grid labeled as 'hard' (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #3712: Got the groups, but listed them as Tarantino actors and Energy something (sorry, not good with the lingo). The listings were really specific! That's nice, though. Just wish I had a Victoria Coren standing next to me telling me she needed something 'a bit more specific' (4 years, 3 months ago)

Kuba @ #15242: Didn't really like the cat one. Is a 'fat cat' a thing? Also, it's schroedinger's cat with apostrophe s, so it doesn't fit with the others (4 years, 3 months ago)

RKDHLR @ #32773: Tough! Good connections though! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Cairns @ #27382: Great wall, great fun :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32735: Wings? Yep- the order of the words was just to give the clues the appearance of a (false) inherent meaning; they're swap-able but as they're in the same cheesy group it's still a unique solution. As well as setting the usual 4x4 red herring format I do sometimes muck about with the form and use mental interrupters like this. I'm fully aware that I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I'm there for those who like a bit of variety. I take bizarre as a compliment (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32760: aaargh! got me with entwine! Brilliant! You sneaky fox, you! :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32771: The most fun I've had on an all celeb grid, which I don't usually enjoy. Good :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32773: genius! 5* despite my failure. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #32773: Wow ! Pictures, very well done! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jordan @ #8403: Good grid. Nice overlaps and herrings (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jordan @ #583: Good overlaps (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jordan @ #10577: Good grid. Fun and decent fish. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Savage @ #32770: COYI! (4 years, 3 months ago)

eurydice @ #583: Good overlapping (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32736: Fair's fair, not in my field of knowledge, but will not decry it. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32748: Yes I know, idea was great on my head then when I saw it for real,. erm. Oh well, live and learn. Your numbered one totally threw me (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #12915: Still laughing at Red Dwarf/PuzzGrid overlap - I'm sure you're right, though not with me! 10/10 anyway, and I LOVED your entertaining and learned explanations. Thanks for doing this. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #32736: Definitely a fiendish (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32748: Worked out 6 of the clues and therefore 2 groups but the rest escaped us. Something a bit different, took Primmy's original concept to the next level of fiendishness! (4 years, 3 months ago)

nick @ #32735: so 8 clues rather than 4????? eh? could wire wings and dip straw also have been wire straw and dip wings??? bizarre (4 years, 3 months ago)

Snart @ #32764: Hmm the Microserfs connection is hardly well known (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jock @ #32764: All religions are fake and made up I (do not) believe. Microserfs ? Gulp. (4 years, 3 months ago)

gav seven @ #32762: multiple solutions on 2 of the groups (4 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #32762: Mike could be swapped with any of the name group, so there is not a unique solution. (4 years, 3 months ago)

diane @ #32715: Quite obscure links - never heard of banana equivalent dose. 0 points on this one! It would appear my general knowledge is poor. (4 years, 3 months ago)

diane @ #32733: didn't allow marxists but a good grid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #32758: Not too difficult,good crossovers - well done (4 years, 3 months ago)

uaquo @ #32739: Broom, Rake, Shovel and Hoe are all utensils with large cylindrical handles. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #32761: Nice grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fionark @ #32737: Really nice. Remember to use the shortest possible word for the grouping; the Scales group didn't need the "ic" :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fionark @ #32732: Cannot believe I missed the Pika group! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fionark @ #32728: Nice grid! (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32752: thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Trev @ #32760: Need to put twin son uncle aunt in the answer the caps thing means I know I got it right but didn't get the point having typed son uncles etc etc in. Nice grid though (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32756: Good grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jules @ #32750: Good grid, which I failed to solve! The varieties of lettuce were a bit obscure, but I’m not a lettuce fan:) Liked the trigonometry group, so obvious when you see it in a row, but I’d been befuddled by cos being a lettuce, dammit! (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32758: Good, straightforward grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32739: Nice and easy grid, good mix of subjects 10s all round Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #30761: Really fiendish but clever too and wide ranging (4 years, 3 months ago)

Freddiebob @ #32399: also great puzz (4 years, 3 months ago)

Marti @ #12552: Demonym homonym round a great one, even if that answer didn't work. However I had no idea about the children's comics so I wrote 'anal sex' as an answer. I was surprised to see that this was accepted as correct! (4 years, 3 months ago)

bloss @ #32735: got the structure, but struggled beyond cheese! (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32751: Nice spread of subjects Couple of good red herrings 10s all round Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Nz @ #32757: Grids about US states are usually impossible for non Americans. This wasn't, I got 10/10 and i found it well pitched (4 years, 3 months ago)

Nz @ #32757: Grids about US states are usually impossible for non Americans. This wasn't, I got 10/10 and found it well pitched (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jules @ #32755: Nice one! I thought it was going to be impossible, but it fell into place after getting the first group. Could you add English Kings and Queens as an alternative to royalty? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fenwick T @ #32739: No need to brag, but done in 16 seconds. I am a clever little boy after all :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Harry @ #32732: That was a good one! (4 years, 3 months ago)

elocevets @ #32742: Sorry to nitpick... Hirsute is a word, but hirsTute isn’t, which messes up your connection (4 years, 3 months ago)

lorna @ #32744: excellent (4 years, 3 months ago)

elocevets @ #32748: Ultra fiendish :-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Dustin the Turkey @ #32678: Actually Tony Blair Vampires are well known enough to be a clue (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tony Blair @ #32678: Vampires aren't well known enough to be a clue here. Stick with more popular links like ingredients for chimichurri sauce (4 years, 3 months ago)

Andrew (Andy) @ #3712: Also whats ben folds five? haha (4 years, 3 months ago)

Andrew @ #3712: Travlota really got me, my word. Great grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

GJ @ #32726: Thanks bigjoemac! Very cool. (4 years, 3 months ago)

WZ @ #519: I think the pronunciation one is a bad one because most words are technically pronounced differently between American and British English. The pronunciation differs in many different dimensions, and this grid just happen to pick an eclectic few (not even different in all the same way!) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Lilacally @ #32676: Enjoy! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #32665: Intelligent grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Theone @ #32664: Too niche! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Sausage @ #4772: I know who Alan Ball is but that's poor. Considering the other 3 in the group are objects it makes little sense that the 4th be a person. Especially one with such a common first name and also not exactly high up the list of famous Alans (4 years, 3 months ago)

Stephen @ #29105: Political parties would be a better answer for the "day" category (4 years, 3 months ago)

J (a different one) @ #32648: Good grid but not sure about the film group. The answer just says films by but looking at 3 of the answers I would assume that what was meant was last word in the title in which case surely Dragon not Tiger. Also should obviously be Sense and Sensibility not Hulk in the answer. (4 years, 3 months ago)

JayDee @ #32642: Nice categories, good crossovers. I did really well except for the Einstein category- good one! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Malcolm @ #184: I think some of these comments re hat and dog are incorrect. The Monopoly piece is very specifically a TOP Hat and as the clue was simply HAT, then Hat is a perfect fit for TOP but not for Monopoly. This is exactly the sort of red herring that these puzzles are meant to have, surely? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Cooliio @ #32620: Never heard of Side or Rolls used in that way which made it tricky, btu still a great puzzle. (4 years, 3 months ago)

h @ #32626: If you're going to say something is a homophone in American English you might as well say "Things that sound the same when pronounced wrong" :D (4 years, 3 months ago)

h @ #32627: Transponster isn't a real word, so I don't know how it can 'generally refer to' anything. (4 years, 3 months ago)

h @ #32631: Should be Feel Good Inc. Otherwise a pretty goor grid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32627: good (4 years, 3 months ago)

Pete @ #32608: A more widely accessible connection for the Drone group would be that they all refer to insects (especially since the Safari group is pretty niche as well). (4 years, 3 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #10711: brilliant (4 years, 3 months ago)

goredbirds @ #32380: Slightly on the easier side, but overall good. A slight mature reference (4 years, 3 months ago)

goredbirds @ #32526: All about music, maybe slightly on the easier side but still enjoyable (4 years, 3 months ago)

Baculus @ #32577: Sorry, Horatio! I listed it as hard for good reason. I do agree that having word-based connections, like double-consonants, can be annoying at times, but I was trying to mimic the variety of categories seen in Only Connect! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Baculus @ #32574: The electronic musicians were Aphex Twin, The Orb, The Chemical Brothers, and Boards of Canada. Perhaps my occupation as a DJ makes me biased, but those 4 are titans of the genre that are very reasonable to ask about. The countries were rather tricky, I admit. My intent was for the flag group to be the easier one- then again, I am a vexillology nerd, so perhaps I should not have assumed that flags would be a go-to avenue for every player. (4 years, 3 months ago)

j @ #32574: Have to echo these comments, I managed to solve the grid through pure luck, airlines are doable and the 2 color flag countries was a total whim guess that I'm frankly still surprised was correct. The other two, no shot (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #32573: Nice grid, but I don't understand how the Thomas characters fit in - could you not think of any other great offices of state? Foreign Secretary, Deputy PM? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #32574: Sorry, this is a really poor grid. Thanks so much for going to the effort to compile it, but I agree with Joe - nobody will get the 90s electronic groups, 2 colour flags, maybe just about, the countries with a parliamentary system there are just simply too many of them, again I bet nobody gets this correct apart from by luck, and the airlines was doable, but Virgin is Virgin Atlantic of course. Just too many flaws to be fun I am afraid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Not a footballer @ #27521: Very disappointing. (4 years, 3 months ago)

ggg @ #31645: @stjohn i dont like red herring only sea ones (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #32577: Thanks so much for posting this grid, but wowsers, a couple of these categories are so vague, adjectives, double consonants? It really wasn't that fun, which is a shame. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #32578: This grid was nice, except for the keyboard category AGAIN - really good of you to create a grid, but along with the phonetic alphabet, the keyboard has been used enough now surely (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #32582: Really enjoyed that, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32549: Compiled in honour if our cryptic mate stjohn (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3938: Rubbish answers - just lists of names with no clue to the connections. I knew one was fashion designers, I’ve found one is sports presenters. The other seems to be just random celebs (assume you mean Paul McCartney, not McCarthey). (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32546: Konnte die Wand nicht lösen, bekam aber alle Links. Danke fürs Schreiben (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32542: easy (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32541: Don't know that 'pull' is a sudden, sharp movement. Maybe just accept 'synonyms'. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32542: I wrote Coldplay songs ... and got 'incorrect'! Livid! ;) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32543: Maybe accept 'royal court' as well as 'castle'? (4 years, 3 months ago)

mr pedant @ #27775: I thought tootsie's was slang for toes, not feet ?!?!? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #32465: Could be good.. But was not. Musical being revealed to 20? thats rubbish. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Sue @ #30726: I liked the idea of a numbers grid, but there are lots of other categories which could have been used instead of "not" something. Square numbers, for example. Please keep making grids! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32534: Thought 'livestock' was a bit loose. (4 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #32534: Really difficult, good categories, but foreign words should not contain names amongst them. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32531: oh! getting careless, thanks. I should check before submitting (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #32521: I'm fairly sure I put theatres, which was incorrect - maybe I mis-typed. Underground stations are all also areas of London. Clever use of Paddington! (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32486: Very good, nice mix and straightforward 10s all round Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Rafifi @ #32380: I’m with Gagalady. “professions” is a shared link between those four items. It doesn’t matter that they share another, more specific link, they’re still four professions. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Freddiebob @ #32399: gaffer it was Hawk eye black panther black widow and Nick fury There all from marvel (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32534: Tricky one. Also just wondering about dingo meaning coward. I live in Australia and have not heard that used? I'm sure it must be used somewhere. Is it from a particular area? thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32531: thanks! (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32529: Nice grid, solved it but couldn't get the skinny link Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32512: 10/10 you are busy! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fionark @ #32486: Very nice - could have had the 4 letter solution for the group with Plum in :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Rainier @ #16089: loved it (4 years, 3 months ago)

TR6 @ #32495: The reason PuzzGrid says "make sure you check before submitting" It was called the StJohn syndrome. Gone now thank you @jms for pointing it out (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32495: Why 2 eagle rays? (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32486: Did exactly what it says on the tin as far as PuzzGridd goes. Neat, straightforward satisfactory. Thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32497: solved the wall in 1'30", but did not get a single link. I suppose being Mayor of Gibraltar is noteworthy, but not in common consciousness. S mixed feelings for about the quality of the grid, sorry (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32491: much, much easier than your other, still left in the stilbs though, thanks anyway (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32490: obviously well researched, but loses out on any "fun" factor. Obviously in my opinion. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #32483: Very enjoyable (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #32402: Well done ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #32492: Excellent crossovers. Didn’t solve any of the grid but knew all the categories. Well done ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #32492: Nice puzzle, well researched. Did not went so well for me though hehe (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32491: A measly 1 for me. Just not on the same wavelength. (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32468: Excellent! (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32492: Nice and straightforward..good grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #11: good grid but the keyword for websites doesn't get recognised (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3889: Very few of these are givens. It was just guesswork for groups, then guesswork for answers! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Neal @ #32448: Haven't heard of sea fret before! (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32489: Nice one, could only get one row but got all the links Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Flash @ #32485: (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3875: (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32477: Some good words used here! (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32476: Nice and straightforward (4 years, 3 months ago)

Csa @ #32480: Agree with Gagalady, Runcorn is far too specific compared to everything else. If you haven't heard of the town, as I hadn't, you'll never get it. Fantastic grid otherwise! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Bobby @ #28189: Excellent. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32488: Much too specialised for non-London folk. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32472: Agree with J - 'legal' not a good adjective here. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32473: Nope. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32474: Maybe accept 'mythical creatures'? (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32475: good point (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32475: Maybe accept 'fragrances'? (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32477: of course (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32477: Elergy? Elegy, surely. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32479: Fix Minerva :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32480: Runcorn not the best of fits. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32482: Nope. Not for me. Even the solutions left me wondering. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32483: And so you should be sorry! ;) (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32478: thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32482: I was at a loss, only got one link [bonzo] and that was an educated guess. Very intelligent. Have been educated re Sukkot, and finally I cannot mentally say whip without thinking of Stewie Griffin in Family Guy. thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #14462: Too clever (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32483: good (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32481: liked it, solved the wall, you just got me on the Suzi, thank you LittleQuill (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #32477: Thanks for doing so many lovely grids, this was too clever for me, though I got a couple :-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Martin @ #32461: Really good grid, good diversions and traps . 'Bears' was CB Radio jargon - in the film Convoy police helicopters are 'bear in the air'. Presumably these days it's only large bald bearded policemen. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32480: sweet - quality herrings - very, very good in my opinion (4 years, 3 months ago)

Osser @ #10103: Pacific Trails Middle School? (4 years, 3 months ago)

BIG SHLONGER @ #32433: Suck me off mate (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32479: that is a good grid, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Sarah @ #29712: Mr May in Queen is Brian, not Bryan. (4 years, 3 months ago)

M.Y.S.L @ #32453: I put “truation” as the answer for the flower anagram group and it said correct. Are you joking? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #32453: Nice one (4 years, 3 months ago)

LS @ #15874: Tricky...but a good one! (4 years, 3 months ago)

LS @ #32421: Great grid, not too easy, not too hard. Just right! (4 years, 3 months ago)

LS @ #32433: Put ‘ales’ for the first one. (Synonym for the correct answer). Otherwise great! (4 years, 3 months ago)

LS @ #32430: Good Harry Potter themed grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32453: I enjoyed this grid, thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32452: a mixture of ease and difficulty which got my attention. thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

LS @ #32429: Brilliant (4 years, 3 months ago)

LS @ #32451: A great attempt by my 11 year old. I enjoyed this. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32450: Sorry, but weak. 2 lines regurgitated ad nauseum [even if used for red herring purposes] and two lines had ambiguities. Only my opinion of course. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32446: good grid except one link which has more than one acceptable/reasonable answer, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Grass @ #29064: niche knowledge! (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32451: I would like to disagree with previous comments - but cannot. Not good (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32449: neat, quick easy, good clear answers, yes! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3804: Rubbish because it is not English, which it is marked as in the drop down choices! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3810: Very few words or phrases are used in the context of the flimsy connections! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Trev @ #32449: Nice, quick , all my explanations scored (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32443: thank you, Helen Tabaxi - who she? (4 years, 3 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #32443: Sorry @Daz, I disagree. "Obscure" is entirely subjective. If the subjects at hand were Beyonce singles, cities of Mali, English goalkeepers and breeds of rabbit, they would be equally as obscure to me, yet to others they would be well-known. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32445: thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Daz @ #32443: species of...Pelican???? D&D???? far too obscure... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #40: I enjoyed this a lot, disagree with Daz but might be. A generational issue (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32432: Maybe allow 'ordained church people' (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32442: Well done on spelling asphyxiate! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32442: Never heard of 'similar' triangle. Or 'right' triangle. (Right-angled, yes, but not just 'right'). (4 years, 3 months ago)

Poohbear @ #32420: Nice grid but a couple of issues - firstly the medical scans group wouldn’t accept ‘scan’ as an answer. Secondly, Orlando is a disney location and Paris is a shakespeare character so there is not one unique solution to the grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jason @ #32427: Extremely difficult. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jason @ #32426: Very Difficult why are the connections so weird. (4 years, 3 months ago)

gaffer @ #32420: Good one. Good crossovers (4 years, 3 months ago)

gaffer @ #32421: Nick I agree. Also all Champions League winners for football teams (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #32385: Tried hold and tie up....I'll give myself the point :-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32414: had to chuckle on the reveal - sneaky and good, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32410: shorten your accepted answers - do not pluralise e.g car not cars. simple easy grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32412: You gotta check your accepted answers before posting, you probably misspelled astronaut, do as suggested shorten to astro,nam,spac etc. Meter is US variant of metre which unless I missed something is distance not weight. Have another go. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32402: 7/10 but only because homophones not homonyms (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32412: Nice grid, but... Although I solved the wall in 30 secs, all of my answers were marked as incorrect, but contained the words you specify. I think maybe the answers need widening. Apart from that, good grid, nice spread of subjects Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32402: Yay! 10/10 (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #32412: Missing some letters and the answers are not accepted. The problem here is that the answer "astronaut" does not count and the explicit answer is "astronaut". Anyway, nice connections but maybe could have more tricky groups. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32406: Didn't do well ... but learned something. :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #32411: Answers poor (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32412: Missing a P in Olympus. 'Units of measurement' not accepted. 'Astronauts' not accepted. Disappointing all round. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32410: Wouldn't accept 'car makers' (4 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #32410: Should Astin be Aston or Austin ? (4 years, 3 months ago)

DK @ #31046: NAH (4 years, 3 months ago)

Phil @ #32399: Apart from the bad spelling one of the groups make no sense (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32395: beaten by the letters, was thinking 2 V2 rocket, O2 arena, K2 mountain and U2 rock band. thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #32402: Good! (4 years, 3 months ago)

connorc @ #32406: Third grid. To play my first two: #32346 #32338 (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32394: liked the grid, also missed the link and if I may be so bold- shame on you @ Gagalady, you must have sung the line to yourself, how could you not input the first two words lol. thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

Vince @ #32401: Excellent, missed the connection between punk etc, and when I saw the answer, I hated myself for not seeing it. Great grid and great red herrings, looking forward to more. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32392: that was good, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

pptt @ #32206: cant see the answers (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32387: good thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32402: thanks, happy 10/10 (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32384: It's not a bad grid, errors will be pounced upon [I know from embarrassing experience]. So though you were looking for a specific answer another has presented it self and should be permitted or place a caveat in your answer description. Similar with groups bands etc. Would like to see more, thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32403: thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32396: @Smiley - no foul - no complaint 👍 (4 years, 3 months ago)

cod fish @ #16662: Im with soupy, also Ive never heard the term "draw a bath" - you run a bath........................ ho hum (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32386: grid had/has potential e.g drywall did know there was a specific maybe a cultural difference to lump, plus as Gagalady says there are myriads of notable actresses who have never won, so I think a better link should have been found. thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #32396: @tvg - fair play. I generally tend towards the 'doable' but it's hard to pitch them right sometimes - just depends what you know sometimes! Thanks for playing anyway. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32377: a goody but a toughie, I must expand on my reading material if I wish to solve your grids, thank you LittleQuill (4 years, 3 months ago)

OneFootSixToes @ #32403: Nice grid, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32396: @Smiley, have looked up piano and now recognise it under it's other name and drive though accurate and thus fair, a tad mean if I may venture to say. thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

stevieboy @ #32399: in addition to my earlier comment Jackle is not a member of the Canidae - it is Jackal. (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #32396: Thumb drive Thumb through Thumb tack - an Americanised version of drawing pin Thumb piano - I'm guessing this is the one people are finding obscure. It's one of those African instruments with metal tines on a wooden board - you play with your thumbs (and probably other fingers). I'll add this to the answer. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stevieboy @ #32399: Tigger is not a big cat - he is a character form winnie the pooh. Canines is correct for the first line - although my answer was deemed incorrect. what is the connection for the bottom line? (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32396: Thumbs (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #32396: @tvg - sorry, which group needs further info? (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32396: Er? If not obvious maybe fuller explanation would help realise why we got it wrong , thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32397: Strict! (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32400: (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32399: hard only 6/10 (4 years, 3 months ago)

?ugugyuygyggyu @ #32399: Lol hard !? :o) (4 years, 3 months ago)

bob @ #32399: yo dude whats up that was really cool (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32384: Hmm. Lost confidence when I saw spices instead of herbs. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32385: 'Curtailment' wasn't accepted. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Scotto @ #32397: Inaccurate answers. Athelstan and Stephen were NOT British monarchs they were Anglo-Saxon and English. A huge difference. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32397: Ouch. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32386: actresses who never won an oscar (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32386: The Marilyn group is a bit generic - I was looking for a more specific link. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32392: Very nice. :) Thank you. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32393: Too much local knowledge required. Never been to Weston-Super-Mare. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32394: If you know you are right- I always say - take the point anyway. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32394: Sorry Gagalady! I just put hymn. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32388: good thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32394: I put in the name of the hymn and it failed! Gutted! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32395: Nice. :) Didn't get the rays. :( (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32396: Very obscure. No idea about the 'thumb' group. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32396: pretty tough thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #32392: Great, well done :-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

JerseySue @ #32394: Thank you for a challenging start to a Friday. The time link tripped me up! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jaitch @ #32393: Too esoteric. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32392: thanks will try to fix (4 years, 3 months ago)

Purple toadstool @ #12698: Good grid - clever clues ☺ (4 years, 3 months ago)

Meretchen @ #32392: Very nice. Didn’t accept “synonyms” in the “shine”-row, though. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #32367: Good (4 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #32373: Rubbish (4 years, 3 months ago)

MK @ #32315: Was curious about the orange group so I googled it and found that orange isn't actually a member of that group (it came from French after it had already lost the initial n). Still I learned something new, so kudos. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Austin N @ #32388: Excellent grid!! Quite daunting from the outset! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Jammy @ #32384: Liked it - but spices should be herbs (4 years, 3 months ago)

Pete @ #32380: Nicely constructed, especially because it felt as if this had numerous overlaps, more than most grids. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #32385: Not accessible. One of the categories is very weird... bond should not be in the same category as the other restrainers. The Hairspray one was a little too specific and lacked connections to the other ones. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Bia @ #32384: its only okay... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #32384: I loved this puzzle! Great construction! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #3580: Not very good. The answers were to specific. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #2224: really bad one. One of the categories is really stupid. The others, even though they follow a theme, are not exactly specific enough. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Frownie @ #32383: Tricky but great! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #1734: Did not liked it. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Drew @ #21449: This was nice, but not very hard. Bolsonaro is crap. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Frownie @ #32380: Primrose—Stripper pole. Re: Friends — pframe you are correct (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #32379: Drin-king a cheeky one! I shall have my revenge. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32380: good (4 years, 3 months ago)

Frownie @ #32380: Primrose—Stripper pole. Re: Friends — pframe you are correct (4 years, 3 months ago)

Max @ #357: Almost had me there.. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Max @ #30814: I forgive your spelling mistake, Andy. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Max @ #28601: This tickled my fancy (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #32381: Why wasn't I included?? (4 years, 3 months ago)

pframe @ #32380: Gagalady it probably shouldn't -- i feel like the key thing is Friends cause otherwise they're just unconnected professions (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #32368: Enjoyed it ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #32380: Decent effort. Pole stripper? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32377: The comics got me. Otherwise good :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32380: Wouldn't accept 'professions'. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Assumpta @ #32358: I love a good anagram group! Fun puzzle, 10/10 (4 years, 3 months ago)

Austin N @ #32380: So good! Challenging if you don't know Broadway! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Assumpta @ #32365: The Smash category certainly seems obscure to me, but heaven knows that I've written a grid with "Untitled Goose Game" prominent items. Good misdirects with Banjo and Joker. Thanks for making this! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Assumpta @ #32376: Excellent but very difficult! (4 years, 3 months ago)

APmum @ #32347: Really liked this one! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Assumpta @ #32326: Enjoyed it! Absolutely stumped on the bassoon. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Assumpta @ #32312: Y -- Thank you! Updated to accept "gram"; also now should accept answers of "numeral" and "number" (4 years, 3 months ago)

harry chase @ #32160: pretty confusing at first (4 years, 3 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #32355: Great grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Grass @ #32344: Haha love this one! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3743: Tailor was incorrect, should have allowed either or. Also tale of ?! (4 years, 3 months ago)

:) @ #32366: very good grid!!!! TWO STARS (4 years, 3 months ago)

Karl @ #32315: The "n" (n-orange etc) group was interesting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #3694: Groups easy, answers not. The football team names are all birds - this is therefore a correct answer - you should have had one that was, say, a mammal. Colours should have been right, as should male names for English kings. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Karl @ #32317: Liked the crossovers (4 years, 3 months ago)

Karl @ #32322: Agree with J (4 years, 3 months ago)

Karl @ #32326: Good start! (Nit-picking, but I would say "double reed" for a bassoon) (4 years, 3 months ago)

jms @ #32367: Good mix of answers (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #32367: Nice grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32358: 2:37 on clock, would have been better/less easy if you had not pluralised, added or strengthened red herring - nice one J (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32368: Maybe even L? Ok, Lurn not really. Did not know about Brownie. Thanks enjoyed (4 years, 3 months ago)

FreddieBob @ #32362: Thank you for a lovely, challenging grid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32368: thanks for letting me know, I have just added it (4 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #32368: Nice grid. Ch group also works with G. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tom @ #32319: Very nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32358: Not into dessert wine or horses! (4 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #32347: thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Lal @ #30596: Enjoyable (4 years, 3 months ago)

Martin Brown @ #4193: Agree with 2pak - silly error ruins what was otherwise quite fun (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ben @ #31416: it’s ok (4 years, 3 months ago)

Stephen @ #31115: The Simpsons group is obvious but could be so many other things and is not sufficiently specific to the show. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Y @ #32312: The Greek one can also all end in gram (4 years, 3 months ago)

Assumpta @ #32312: I have to apologize for mislabeling the difficulty here! I've just started making my first puzzles! I'm glad people can enjoy them, at least, and please let me know if there is a good way to edit the difficulty ratings after publishing. There doesn't seem to be an option to do that -- hopefully the site factors difficulty feedback in and adjusts as needed? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Anon @ #20057: We think it should have been "Vectian" (from Isle of Wight) rather than Vetican. (4 years, 3 months ago)

GVK @ #32349: That’s odd? Did you get them right and it just said they were wrong? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Stephen @ #21523: Nice grid! A "black lie" is at best a rare neologism and "black night" is not a thing at all. So, no problem. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ed Mann @ #32170: Your mother has no legs (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32349: amazing, I solved the wall but did not get any of the links, how bizzare? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32346: quality,@connorc you got lots more ideas. ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

manatee @ #32318: Nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

Maga @ #32346: 7 / 10. Nice wordplay and red herring. Wasn't sure what the 'Address' connection was but I like it.... did not realise I had a singular meaning in my head through the whole attempt. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Savage @ #32338: Wow! Kangaroo words! That’s me schooled! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #32344: Nice n easy ty (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tylluan @ #32326: Thanks Tom - it's set up to accept anything starting with "hieroglyph" so I'm not sure why your answer wasn't accepted. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Clare @ #32326: Really like it - very clever with great red herrings. Looking forward to seeing your next wall (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32338: Well done, beat me hands down Particularly liked the Fabrication row No problems from me, apart from the fact I failed miserably Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32329: you have to be careful typing in your accepted answers eg no capitals, keep the short no plurals and commas between each one. We get the answers its just niggling when given incorrect. Nice grids keep them coming, thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32338: agree with previous, very nice indeed (4 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #32338: the connection containing synonyms is very good - thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32330: yes that was ok, just missed voting thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32333: @j - after 20 or so entries you are becoming an experienced poster of quizzes. You are doing just fine - got the max but nearly tripped up on the geo features. thanks (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32167: Good grid, thanks for posting @j: Trigger is the butt of many jokes in Only Fools and Horses. If you're not from the UK, it's a classic TV comedy. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Dani @ #32189: What the purple group has in common is also that, unlike any other words on the grid, they start with a capital letter. You should maybe change that. (4 years, 3 months ago)

chris @ #32182: nice one (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #32168: Nice and easy, straightforward grid Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #32078: 10/10 great cryptic grid ty Jericho (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32187: Grid spoiled [in my opinion] by the "newspaper" either the 1817-1824 satirical publication or the 1968-1972 socialist/Leninist offering. Sorry, the rest was fine, thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32185: 7/10 solved the wall fairly quickly [thanks to you not having included a false group as I feared] and I was struggling to connect warf, path, bride[al] to river or canal ways, but samurai got in the way. Thank you Jericho (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32184: I say good grid. Edit the 's' word and no-one's the wiser. you had me beat on the culmination. thank you (4 years, 3 months ago)

Mo @ #32184: Nice one. I disagree with Jan (4 years, 3 months ago)

JAN @ #32184: I think you've spelled separate incorrectly, ie, correctly and also the incorrect spelling of diarrhea is an acceptable spelling meaning that it is incorrectly spelled in this context, ie correctly spelled in the grid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ingrid @ #32161: Good grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ingrid @ #32165: Fun grid. (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #32169: Don't think Michael P was a newsreader? And documentaries was deemed incorrect, which is a bit mean! Thanks though. (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #32183: @stjohn. Thanks. I mentioned in the answers they might not be fruit but some people do think they are - and to be honest I was struggling to get a variety of paintings in that group! (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #32183: I was just happy I could name seven of the artists and name[ish] six of the paintings. Ended up with just one point and on that one maybe the fruit on the trees aren't ? Excellent Smiley, love your puzzles (4 years, 3 months ago)

PietHein @ #1427: I do not find 8 symmetrical along a horizontal line. The top is smaller. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32167: Nice, easy grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Sarah @ #32182: Can't see a good reason why organists goes with the "hidden instrument" group any more than "violists" or "trumpeters" etc. They all have a hidden instrument too... and are all groups of instrumentalists. The only one that can't is "flautists". (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #32183: You might need to screengrab for some extra time...also better on a larger screen. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Andyroo @ #32155: Great grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

Tony Hall @ #32169: The grid is flawed. John Humphrys was also a newsreader - BBC Nine O’Clock News. Michael Parkinson was also a game show host - Give Us A Clue. The two are therefore interchangeable ie the solution is not unique. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Antonio Guterres @ #32180: PNG has a land border with Indonesia and is therefore not an island nation. Solution is not unique - Japan and Jamaica can be swapped. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Vince @ #32125: Grid was so-so, the explanations were excellent, and now, all I can see in my minds eye is Ronnie Corbett ordering Fork handles while Desmond Tutu does the Can-Can in the background with his Frou-Frou skirt on. Outstanding. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Gagalady @ #32146: Enjoyed this grid. Nice :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Q @ #28798: Having 30 and 40 seems a bit redundant, and I was able to get all the groups but didn't figure out the connections, still an excellent grid overall tho. (4 years, 3 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #32096: I think the "haircutting terms" is a bit too broad; be better to have it as just hairstyles maybe? And don't understand the Fringe group at all ... I get Bag, but having Ring twice is a bit off. And I've no idea what the hidden word is in Balmoral! (4 years, 3 months ago)

coldfeets @ #32042: Ah, I see. Well you’ve gotta have a hobby... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Fez @ #32001: @Nighteyes, the first use of the apostrophe was by Pietro Bembo in De Aetna in 1496. Chaucer wrote his Canterbury Tales between 1387-1400. Therefore there were NO apostrophes in his original manuscript which you would have known if you had the first edition. I used one apostrophe to make the grid unique and as a puzzler, I assumed you and Bob would recognise, PS you misspelled my wazzack. (4 years, 3 months ago)

tvg @ #32042: @coldfeets - every now and then, there enters a "naughty" child or children who post rubbish for "fun" You have to recognise and ignore (4 years, 3 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #32031: Not a unique solution (4 years, 3 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #32001: In my copy of the canterbury tales, they all have apostrophes - as they should, because they are all singular and the "s" indicates possession. Who is the wazzock now? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #32042: Good grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #31864: Expanded my vocabulary, thanks. I didn’t have the required knowledge to complete the lunar group. Think the Just A Minute clue was stretching the link a little but the grid had defeated me anyway. Well played :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Bah! 6 different measurement clues [yes I now know there were 7.] Smashing grid, I know I can rely on you for quality, but.. ros? lol. Thank you, as always. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31881: Oh Jericho!

Scoop @ #31864: Wow! Love it (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31876: 1/10, I have had to give myself a little time too cool off and not respond immediately. I refreshed 3 times because I was intrigued.

Bowiewhist @ #1396: 10/10 with 1. 21 remaining. Got momentarily stuck on the lovely red herrings but actually simple to sort the groupings. (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #31848: Excellent in the Only Connect spirit. Nice mix of subjects, red herrings and a straightforward solution. Nothing to do with me getting 10/10 of course ;-) Thanks for posting, more please :-) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #583: Got stuck on one set and rather than try for one of the others i ran out of time so just 6/10 for me - liked the grid and cross with self for not sorting the jaw group in time. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #10577: 10/10 1.44 left. Pretty easy but a clever grid with some neat blind alleys. Enjoyed it. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Meretchen @ #31833: Interesting (4 years, 3 months ago)

Helen @ #2757: Can you not speak English? The grid was labelled English, and yet... (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ginny May @ #31841: Straightforward grid with no spoilers. Though Costa del Sol is a coast not a city. Links should probably include simply the name of the country, i.e. England, Spain and France as links (I got no marks for these! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Ginny May @ #10577: Enjoyable grid, medium difficulty I'd say (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #31834: Thanks peeps, always a bit of a relief when a new format gets favourable critique. Stjohn, the 'code' has many deviations I suppose and of course the groups are always going to be there to find. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31834: @SmileyMiley, apologies, I should have referenced you instead of LittleQuill (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31834: 10/10 [screen shot is a must]. Scared me to death when I first saw it. Was saying earlier to LittleQuill how difficult it was to come up with a new idea and here you deliver, brilliant fun. Can it be used more than once?. Deserved 5*++ :-)) (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31787: Places in England seemed much too obvious, my answers far more elaborate! Fun, thanks. (4 years, 3 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #31802: @Gagalady - true - but neither is Goodman or Dixon...😉 @stjohn - thank you. Yes, I know the feeling - always happy to have an idea pop into my head for something new or a new slant on the classics. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #31836: Liked it (4 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #31834: Ingenious (4 years, 3 months ago)

freddgar @ #31834: Thanks Soozy, another innovative grid :-) A definite screenshotter but a 10/10 after that Easy enough when you spot the plot and very enjoyable Thanks for posting (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31752: @soozy have you looked at 31799 (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31808: Feels mean complaining about Harry P (so many others I have thought it but not said so, as it seemed mean......) but yes, me too. Enjoyed it though, thanks! (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31752: @soozy have you looked at 31799 (4 years, 3 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #31825: Aha! That makes more sense - I could have sworn you were too experienced to make such an error :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Lindsey @ #31825: Sorry Yerushalmi you got me - you must have clicked on it in the few seconds before I spotted my error 🤦‍♀️! I updated it pretty quick (4 years, 3 months ago)

Yerushalmi @ #31825: I don't mean crossover and red herring clues. I mean the word "Anne" appearing in two sets and you don't know which to click on. (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #31805: Couldn't even work out which language this is let alone solve it. (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #31752: ;( I saved this one up because, as you know, I love your cryptic grids, how naffed off was I when I quickly realised it was a rehash of a normal one you did!! Had to giggle though, as even though I knew the answers I still couldn't work out some of the clues :)) (4 years, 3 months ago)

anon @ #31787: Used the shire link too (4 years, 3 months ago)

Johnny @ #21752: Why are some Bond girls mentioned by first name only, while others are mentioned by last name only? (4 years, 3 months ago)

Johnny @ #21751: "Kenobi" isn't a band that could qualify for trivia, as I can't seem to find any reliable information on them, or even a video or music streaming platform where they have at least 5k listeners. Also, more than 2 red herrings is usually overkill. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Are you changing the spelling to suit your own narrative or something?! Blending with the trend, are we? Changing history to suit your own SJW propaganda?! Disgusting. Disgrace. Heathen!!!! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Knob Ed @ #31723: What an absolute disappointment. Victoria is the tower, Ben is the bell you bell...end. Nah just joking mate, not about the bell end bit though. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Sr @ #31683: Lucky getting all 4 groups as only knew 2 of them. Like stjohn I rejected mondays and only heard of Paul Daniels - who are they? (4 years, 3 months ago)

HarryPotterMad @ #31755: Woah tricky (4 years, 3 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31752: cryptic submitters recommend either refreshing screen or screen shot to complete puzzle at own pace (4 years, 3 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #31752: Loved the concept, although we needed more time for translating the clues. Check one of the ITV category, because it was on another network. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #31746: Great grid. Very elegant. (4 years, 3 months ago)

JayDee @ #31751: Very tricky. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Curly @ #31748: Dam not Damn....cool grid otherwise (4 years, 3 months ago)

Marmendcrpyt @ #31735: Excellent grid, went for the wrong film for two of them and didn't get the category! (4 years, 3 months ago)

Marmendcrpyt @ #31744: Another excellent grid, but didn't get the Greg category, also put in the singular answer for the Donald category and got an incorrect! Once again it's ***** (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #31734: Really good fun, thanks! (4 years, 3 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #31727: Cleverly crafted. Missed the precise link for the Everyman group, but fair general knowledge. Thanks :) (4 years, 3 months ago)

Horatio @ #31735: That gave pause for thought! Nice grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #31671: Looking back at it again after reading the comments, it was all there in cryptic clues, you just had to write what you saw (a bit like catchphrase were you say what you see) and yes the cat breeds were a bit unusual but still solvable. We got sphynx but went off on a different tangent. So I think some of the comments are way too harsh. (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #31671: Managed to get 2 groups and links but the rest not a scooby until the reveals then it all made sense, you just had to think differently which is a master stroke to keep us on our toes. ty Marmencrypt 5* (4 years, 3 months ago)

soozy @ #31707: 10/10 on the scoreboard though 3 of the clues escaped us. Another great fun grid ty Jericho (4 years, 3 months ago)

X @ #31726: Jerry Krause was 5 ft 6 and Phil Jackson was 44 years old when he joined the bulls a assistant coach - so neither were ever players. Nice grid (4 years, 3 months ago)

X @ #31728: Nice (4 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #31710: Clothes for the items of clothing group would be ideal. (4 years, 3 months ago)

ZBJ @ #31712: good one (4 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #31723: Makes no sense What is twin Berry, twin Ottter. Twin Flowers.. The arsenal one is rubbish.. I bet I can find lots of other football teams with players with those names. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #31723: This is not what I am looking for in a quiz. Too many of the answers are ridiculously obscure. You can't take first names on something like that unless they are incredibly obvious first names. (4 years, 3 months ago)

Anonymous @ #31723: This is a great grid, it has all the features one of these needs! (4 years, 3 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31720: Ear is not face, is it? I answered head which was wrong. Fun to try though, and I did get the groups. Thanks. (4 years, 3 months ago)

stjohn @ #31694: 5/10, got one line but struggled to bash the other three together. Got all the links though. Much more fun, thank you! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Donuts @ #31689: 10/10 Nice. Good crossovers - took me forever to link the mustard group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #31684: Very good! Only got two groups until they were revealed and then saw the link. Thanks :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #4720: nice wall, good misdirection clues, made you think to finish it. (4 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #21280: a bit easy but not a bad wall. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jim @ #31691: Very enjoyable (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #31693: Happy World Oceans Day everybody! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #2560: Agree with Dave. This has a uk flag so at least the answers should be english (4 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #2544: As previous, and Pluto isn’t a planet either. So just 1 out of 4. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jim @ #31678: Thanks guys, feedback appreciated. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31588: sorry, meant to add the chuckle for sly :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31588: 10/10, bravo Primrose, smashing grid well done and thank you [prob pinch some of this ;-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pancakeo9 @ #31686: Sorry about the Minecraft link being quite tenuous. And the typo on the answer to the animals question. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31684: 10/10 - a person of severn letters, thank you LittleQuill (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31683: 4/10, guess I got lucky finding the right four 'rocks' early on otherwise pulling hair out [singular not many left]. Thought about monday but rejected it, more fool me. It was worth the two refreshes though I got no further. Thank you Smiley (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31658: this one not for me - sorry (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31671: Much too strangled. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #31686: Nice grid but quite hard - I couldn’t get the minecraft link (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31685: a smiler of a grid, watched 15/16 of them and I don't think I'll bother with the 16th. thanks sooz (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31678: that was pretty tough, have to agree with Gagalady although I scored zero. If I may be a little pedantic [if only to salve my battered ego] the awards is spelled with an [i] at the end. thank you and more please (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #31658: Animal group is pretty weak - two extinct and one is a different language. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31514: some people think its clever/funny to waste your time - avoid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31678: Only managed 2! Red herrings enjoyable and annoying in equal measure! Keep it up. :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #31514: Why are the connections not shown at the end of the game? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31622: yes I got that, but 'fans' are magpies so corvidae instead? (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #31660: Was proud to get some of these! I went on a wrong track about Plum etc - I thought maybe Assassins (the musical)! But yours was better. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #31679: Nice grid, I spotted the category link but still couldn’t work out the beam group! (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31622: A badger is a mustelidae, I presume Newcastle being black and white is a further clue? (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31622: 5/10 enjoyed trying to solve all your clues, openly naked is a little off the mark as it spelt differently? but it shouldn't have stopped anyone from getting the answer really, but some would dine out on it :)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #3314: How does such an esoteric set of connections get classified as "Very easy"? What's next? My favourite breakfast cereals / People I saw on the bus this morning / Flowers in my garden / Apps on my phone's hoe screen? (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #31684: enjoyable! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #31400: The connections are shown as "answer x", where "x" is 7, 8, 9 or 10. It does not appear to accept actual correct connections. (4 years, 4 months ago)

John @ #31204: Pointless grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #31684: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #31673: Maybe accept singular & plural versions of the connections. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Prue Hardwick @ #2661: this is so stereotypical as to be verging on racist (4 years, 4 months ago)

Brian @ #17839: The complainant is housemaid'S knee. Also, three of the body parts related words apply to ailments of that body part so firearm is inconsistent with the other three. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Brian @ #8982: Found it quite easy, but then again, I have a science background and I love chips! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jim @ #31678: Hi folks. Would appreciate any feedback on this grid. I've just started attempting my own and very much enjoying my new hobby. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31645: nice straight forward with a very good red herring, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31675: 10/10. 6 minutes. Smashing sets of clues, we cryptic setters can all learn from your economic use of words. 1st one I saw, as it happens was you. Next was the damned duck. At the end I used a different set of words to your accepted ones, so gave myself the point. And that was the OMG it be OMD moment. Looking forward to your next offering 5* (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pete @ #31671: Creativity is good, but I'm afraid these were too idiosyncratic for anyone to be likely to solve them. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31671: take pity and ease us in next time please :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31671: Oh my goodness, I thought I could be convoluted😜😜. I was nowhere near even after the reveal. I had laughs though. ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #2399: This is probably the most stupid grid with the most stupid answers ever! (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31580: I screen shot all the cryptic grids, and encourage it for mine. I don't care about the time, like doing a crossword it's about, for me, the challenge of solving the clues and it takes as long as it takes or until I feel beaten. I also use google for synonyms or if I don't know a word/phrase/person, or to help me in any way it can. I don't consider it cheating, every day's a school day :) Primrose - have you been good enough to be let out? and yes it should be a familiar format you did one a while back and I said I would be pinching it as it is a nice change and a good idea. (4 years, 4 months ago)

CT @ #31623: Pepys group was a tough one! Good wall though (4 years, 4 months ago)

CT @ #31634: Nice wall! Think Blockbuster is singular though, as opposed to the plural game show. Didn’t detract at all though :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

CT @ #31635: Love the nomad group, great work! Great grid :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31580: I've been beating myself up for not managing 3 mins. Are lots of people taking screenshots then? This is a familiar format, Soozy, am I still in the doghouse? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #31587: Cleo Laine (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31580: @Primrose, it is not cheating, it's called research., that's the way I do it. :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31587: 👍 eroomuk quite right and I knew it, but, as the general secretary of the mid-north midlands pedant society [affiliated] but only by proxy on alt months - I don't care. LOL (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31584: Saw your post saying you were inspired by a previous grid. You certainly were, well done. Me 3/10, after screenshotting AND 30 mins - you 10/10 Very well done Thanks for posting - more please (4 years, 4 months ago)

eroomuk @ #31587: I think Cleo's surname is spelled differently, but that's one for pedant's corner. Fun grid! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Coltaine @ #31568: Good Better to just add one mey word for reasons at end (4 years, 4 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #31576: Beat me! Agree with the Fiendish rating :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #2321: FFS again! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #2267: People really shouldn’t set numerical ones unless they are correct! Again trying to be clever. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Helen @ #2266: Would be solvable if the answers were correct! Y = 3x + 2, x = 2 is 8, not 7. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Throup @ #31580: Loved this! I've been inspired to make my own. Thanks x (4 years, 4 months ago)

APmum @ #31582: Enjoyed this one. Didn’t get one connection but should have! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #30926: Mathilda definitely counts. good grid but very hard 4/10 ha ha (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ben Browning @ #31225: I love animals. (4 years, 4 months ago)

CumEyeTest @ #31048: Excellent (4 years, 4 months ago)

Humie @ #1909: Weak (4 years, 4 months ago)

gaffer @ #31533: unusual 10/10 for me just my kind of groups. Thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #31544: Another beauty. Got the last colour with 4 seconds left and 10/10. (@Bosher) Thank you, soozy. (4 years, 4 months ago)

HUGH @ #31542: BAD - spell more, bro (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31548: Another nice one (4 years, 4 months ago)

Newbie @ #12552: I thought the Poll Check Fin Deign group link was 'can end in -ed', figured that would work too? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31547: Very Nice (4 years, 4 months ago)

namelesshere @ #31551: good grid but you might want to do some work on the typos in the connections! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31551: Typo - bands not banks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Marmendcrpyt @ #31543: Good grid, was totally thrown by going for Silver/Dollar/Bill (4 years, 4 months ago)

Stupid @ #6140: Bad (4 years, 4 months ago)

Marmendcrpyt @ #31544: Excellent, 7/10 made the same mistake as stjohn, should have deciphered all four clues, not just two of them. ***** (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31543: Definitely a screenshotter this one !! Will come back later :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31536: Good grid, many thanks! (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31542: As 3 out of 4 Greeks were spelt wrong I was put off track! Interesting and fun, enjoyed it. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bosher @ #31542: Good one! The criterion for getting the Cure songs link correct could be tightened up though ;) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bosher @ #31544: Clever, but you're never going to solve this in the time... (4 years, 4 months ago)

brazilian @ #3108: good and easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

brazilian @ #9329: good (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bosher @ #31545: I filtered for 'English', and then this came up. Somehow got all four groups, to my great surprise. More by luck than judgement. Then 'Film types' wasn't allowed - apparently I should have stated 'types of film'... (4 years, 4 months ago)

brazilian @ #12216: nice and easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31542: Nice straightforward grid Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

brazilian @ #21559: nice and easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bosher @ #31546: If I wanted a 'how many footballers do you know?' quiz I wouldn't have come here for it. Also, the one group I did get wouldn't give me the point for the descriptor 'England' - it wanted 'Engllish' (4 years, 4 months ago)

brazilian @ #17118: nice and easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31546: Easy if you're a footy fan, so 0/10 for me (4 years, 4 months ago)

brazilian @ #4434: nice (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31539: Much more like it. Clever clueing and not over obscure categories. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #31504: Theres too clear a split between the halves (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31542: OK thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31544: Screen shotted this one for a 10/10 after 30 mins Sooper dooper grid again. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31544: 7/10, ooh I could kick myself. I had sulfur but not others so plumped for colours. Saw the music pretty early but had to think hard to get them. young chauffeur I thought actress Minnie D then saw sulfur so....blind alley. Top notch Sooz thank you 5* (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31543: You are a cheeky munkeh mr stjohn! Soozy syndrome!! Enjoyed this one sir, makes a pleasant change ty 10/10 for us, no star for you this time as not seeing the c//tied answer go's with the link? :)) perhaps a stand alone stjohn blooper! (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31543: @sandy and Hal Jam, thank you [both amended] it's called pulling a Blooper or the "soozy syndrome". It happens :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #31543: Silver, not sliver. Also Taylor clue was incorrect (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31539: @soozy nuns headdress a "wimple"? LOL. I was looking [trolling?] through the archives recently and found some sage advice from lorna [Lorna?] p.s pls return, about handling negativity. This helped me :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

sandy @ #31543: Nice! Shouldn't Elizabeth/Taylor be Elizabeth/Swift? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31543: I must give a nod to @Primrose for the idea (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31540: Something a bit different, really enjoyed working our way through the clues, Mus Musculus got us on the right track as it's a t' other 'alf's favourite and I should have got angel as it's one of mine and yes makes my eyes water too :) Great job 5* 4/10 for us (4 years, 4 months ago)

love me some numbers @ #31420: you have no idea how long I've waited for the puzz grid community to give accounting software the respect it deserves (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31539: Thank you peeps, gives me a bit of encouragement after the negativity recently :( stjohn - you get 1- and don't get used to my leniency!! I won't be making a nuns headress of it! :) feddgar - it makes me smile when people enjoy my grids, so thank you and keep posted :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31505: Another one to savour, 5/10 and 5* to you. Keep em coming please (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #27278: Fooled me this time because there was no (apparent) connection between the groups... I think the horticultural group is unfair because "and country", "three of", and "cafe.. pads" play no part in the hidden item and neither do they indicate any kind of shortening. (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #27773: Good inventive fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31538: Good grid, didn't spot any of the Recharge row :-( Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31539: Thanks for the tip Soozy, did what you suggested. You're right, much more fun (15 minutes) and 10/10 all round :-) Thanks for posting, more please. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31538: @Egg, hear what you say, but thought the obvious might be a little left field? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31533: 10/10, took me 5 mins though. all those wimmin. Looks like a day for magnanimity [if I didn't etc]. Fun enjoyable grid. Thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31539: He he he! 10/10 with 54 secs left. You showing your lenient side. How many kudos doe me get? :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Egg @ #31538: Pretty good, my only reservation is with flounder being a fish and the others are words containing fish. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31538: Lovely jubbley start to our puzzgrid day 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31539: Not intended to be done in the time allowance, though if you do then kudos to you, I suggest taking a screen shot and solve the clues first, much more fun that way. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31536: Nice straightforward grid, fairly easy - 10/10 all round. Good mix, thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

APmum @ #31536: Liked this grid. Just missedone connection. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31504: Sorry, but not well thought out (4 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #31497: Very good - lots of red herrings (4 years, 4 months ago)

Creator @ #30517: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEARL_(programming_language) To the comment below. I never said it was. Don't be so arrogant. Pearl is a different language to PERL. You're wrong, stop being a dick. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #31504: The dates ones were too easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

MyQuEEn @ #31509: thx 💖 (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31482: 10/10, I recommend you tighten/clarify your accepted answers e.g. gases,horror, and I just typed 'songs by' and was marked correct. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31480: 10/10 easy thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Jackson @ #31504: Trying to name the reason is not easy. You need to have a specific form of words. Even if you know the answer its marked incorrect (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31477: 4/10, not your usual style, and I would not normally go for a grid of all capitalised letters BUT you have taken the idea used previously and put your own stamp on it. Nice and thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31490: 10/10, Easy grid and fine but I have to agree with Horatio, p word was innocent but has taken on racial slur overtime and should be avoided. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31529: 1/10 for me, a quality grid too tough for me thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31490: 15 seconds - a record! I am not sure the P word in your 'child' line should be used - it is a diminutive of a very, very outdated word which our Prime Minister was widely castigated for using. Any number of alternatives available (wee'un, bairn, toddler....) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sue @ #29101: I liked the anagram group with its red herring. If you had another ambiguous clue in other groups it would have been harder. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31509: Thanks for posting, I personally have seen enough of the keyboard lines, but appreciate your effort in devising a grid :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31492: 5/10- good grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31510: Nice grid, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31496: 7/10 all straight forward thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tandypie @ #31520: Have to agree, good grid but all these apart from Man Utd are European Cup Winners, not Champions league....and Celtic are very definitely not English (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31506: 10/10, I should have started with this grid this morning. Thanks for the nice easy straight forward grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31505: Once I knew what I was looking for, it kinda fell into place. Trouble was, I only knew what I was looking for when I saw the reveal. This was [for me] a 2 cup of coffee grid. I tilt my hat to you. 5* (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31487: My first ever zero score! Well done, very perplexing. In my defence, Hot Fuzz confused the issue, but I wouldn't have got that one anyway :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Cpt.Tenille @ #31512: you have the plural dogs, toy stores, myths as acceptable but not their singular forms (dog, store, myth). (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31456: thanks you two. Sooz, I think it was because I put a [.] instead of a [,] between accepted answers. Glad you like it, seams precious few do tho. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31488: Good one. Nice crossovers (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31502: Well crafted but obscure (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31499: No problem primmy, I think we have established we are not on the same wave length with the cryptic grids, you have your way I have mine, though I am surprised the reveals don't show clearly how they break down. As for re - I've changed it for something else now, though I could argue my case it's not that important to me. Just avoid my grids in the future as they obviously irritate you and that is not my aim, I do this for a bit of fun (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31501: Ouch! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31501: Better than the last one. :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31471: Well done (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31499: Sorry Soozy. Too many imponderables. Got the dwarves but that was it. How is re ‘for example’? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31462: Trying too hard. Not working. (4 years, 4 months ago)

quizzer @ #31462: A very tough wall which relies on having the same cryptic knowledge as the writer to both solve the clues and make the connections. Possibly too much to do in 3 minutes. (4 years, 4 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #31460: 10/10, nice (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31384: 7/10 again!!! bah humbug!! always one group that escapes us. Another brilliant grid ty jericho 5* (4 years, 4 months ago)

Fez @ #31458: good, just missed on peacock link, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

JR @ #21238: Silly when every clue expects you to work out names from different countries. Not very intellectual (4 years, 4 months ago)

Fez @ #31454: Beautifully woven, congratulations (4 years, 4 months ago)

Fez @ #31449: Have to agree Passion not one of the 7 and as pbr pointed out not a unique grid. Hey we all make bloopers from time to time, thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Scampi @ #31448: 5* Simple, devious, reds all over the place all in all brilliant. I refreshed 3 times and could not get any further than the bikini line. I recommend to all if you like a brain teaser - and who doesn't. thanks to you Wasp71 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31454: 37 seconds! Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31445: No legs in snooker, they play frames (Legs is darts) The D is the marking on the table where the yellow, green and brown balls are spotted. Otherwise nice puzzle (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tandy @ #31445: No Red Herrings to speak of and sorry but the number homophones have been done to death...TY for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #31449: Not passion (4 years, 4 months ago)

pbr @ #31449: Slightly flawed but still enjoyable grid. The solution is not unique, since greed and pride could be swapped. Also, I don't think passion fits its group? And the link you entered for that group seems to be overly specific (I went with the main noun and got snubbed). (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31443: 10/10 I thought the ruby murray group was funny :)) Well done both of us (4 years, 4 months ago)

Emily @ #31439: I'm not sure the "ants" one works because "hill" comes after "ant" and "fire" and "army" are types of ants. Could not even get started with this one. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31405: Living in Australia, I often do much better with UK puzzles because of the cultural, language, historical etc similarity. I never manage to do very well on American ones for the same reason. So I am happy with 4/10. However, it doesn't hurt us to be challenged with some differences. Some people devise puzzles to be as deliberately obscure and difficult as possible. Others just come with different experiences. Room for all. Cheers (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tar3k @ #31393: Kill is the old dutch word for a (usually elongated) body of water, such as an inlet, a river, a fjord or a strait. The name is commonly found in NY place names, such as Catskill and Fishkill. Since the Dutch inhabited the Hudson valley before the British, a lot of names still have dutch origins, like Kinderhook and Harlem. (4 years, 4 months ago)

fred @ #31427: Great idea for grid, but perhaps confusing Mr. Spock and Dr. Spock ? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31388: Donuts. Celluloid is what films are made of.’ Blood and sand’ is used often as a description for gory films of Ancient Rome. (4 years, 4 months ago)

DCummings @ #31427: The only doctor that i remember Leonard Nimoy playing was in one episode of Columbo. Is that the one you meant? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #31388: Very true, Soozy. I feel that to construct a grid which is both cryptic AND obscure is very difficult for the solver. I try, with my cryptic ones to make the categories fairly accessible eg colours, seasons. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone. Now Soozy you’ve been quiet recently... (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31395: Nice. But didn't accept canal. :( (4 years, 4 months ago)

Donuts @ #31388: I'm with Soozy. I don't think they were overly cryptic, I managed to get 3 groups. I still don't understand Blood, sand, Celluloid though (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31328: In thanks soozy, never really like like left just changed my ID a few times :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31405: A big fat zero for me! A bit miffed that 'places in the US' was not specific enough to garner me a point. But I learned something, so that's good :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #31407: fescue = grass (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #31376: Lovely many thanks for doing this! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Scampi @ #31398: On this Horatio, I concur (4 years, 4 months ago)

Scampi @ #31405: I see where Horatio is coming from, but I think a bit harsh. The grids are supposed to be about fun and are available across the planet. Just because the majority here are from the UK does not detract those submitted from elsewhere. If one only wants their own, then select their own, easy. Now about your grid - not too difficult to solve the wall even without knowing exactly what each clue is, I got two lines easy and 3 of the links. On the 'soup' line, I understand where you are coming from about "proof" if needed. The only Boca Chica I know is in Dominican Republic, Crack on MikeD set us some more! And P.S. sorry to rain on your comments Horatio Gouais (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31394: Great fun (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31395: Nice (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31398: Really quite ridiculous! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31402: For the Bull group put dartboard (it is one word) and was told incorrect. Daffodil group - flower = incorrect :( That aside a good fun grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31403: Nice puzzle, did much better once it was resolved! Thanks - a real challenge. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Scampi @ #31404: pretty good, sorry - to be a bit pedantic as a 'smith' as it is an extension of a number of occupations, same as wright. otherwise good, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31404: Nice puzzle, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #31405: Was this grid made for the enjoyment of others, or to make you feel clever MikeD? For a predominantly UK audience there are 2 lines that are virtually unsolvable. Even the only attainable line is flawed, and the Soup line is so obscure you offer proof should it be required - which you obviously think it will be! Not sour grapes because I totally failed, (I have done hundreds if not thousands of these grids quite successfully) just an observation of a silly and unenjoyable puzzle. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Saffron Efthimou 8M2 @ #31380: Very good grid. Thank you :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31388: 5/10 but enjoyed the challenge. I've read your comments on mine and other peoples cryptic grids similar to what Joe has left on yours, that's the thing with cryptic clues one doesn't always manage to 'get inside' another's thought patterns but it doesn't call for such harsh critique. They are supposed to be a bit of fun at the end of the day :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Marmendcrpyt @ #31401: Really good, but not convinced by Broad ---, thanks! (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31328: whoop whoop welcome back :)) 10/10, reading the comments they don't make sense to me, have you changed something.? Anyway it all worked for me, even the couple of clues I didn't solve made perfect sense once I saw the reveals. So, great grid and 5* to you :)) so glad your back x (4 years, 4 months ago)

Why? @ #31251: I'm pretty sure anyone could construct a grid picking random first names from obscure sources. This isn't really in the spirit of the grids - they're supposed to be reasonably solvable, even in the latest stages. Besides, the lack of variety just makes it boring anyway.

RudiBlue @ #31209: 6/10 Another great grid Sooz. I’m enjoying the cryptic ones. Like you say I screenshot them and work my way through them when I can. This one though despite the time I just didn’t see the Goalie one! (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31221: 10/10 for us both, fun grid ty ;) though by default for me as didn't solve 2 of the clues and it would have been nice to know how they were set (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31229: 10/10 lovely grid to play ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mazda @ #31201: Nice grid Thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

JayDee @ #31204: Don't agree with vicious comments but this grid was pointless. No challenges, ABCD as a category of letters??? Nothing fits in any other category so it took a few seconds to complete. And it's not just jeans that follow those fits - other trousers do, too. (4 years, 4 months ago)

pw62 @ #31209: 3/10 toughie and no bloopers ;-] (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #31209: If I can't get it first time I just restart, usually get it within a two or three goes. Always nice to get it in one. Not this time, though. Halfway through the second run. Only 7/10 for me. Slipped on my bum. Great grid, sooz. Thx (4 years, 4 months ago)

woody62 @ #31207: nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

dave @ #583: When was 'eject' a button of a hard drive recorder ? They are all commands on a cd player or even tape player though ? (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31205: littlequill - just ignore the comments from ' stjohn', it seems the tolls have been raising their ugly heads, I don't believe he wrote those. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31205: those statements not me LittleQuill, (4 years, 4 months ago)

woody62 @ #31203: not bad, dont know what others saying (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oggy @ #31214: Cracking (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31197: stjohn, as you know I have read the comments on the other grid, don't let the trolls get to you, take a break and come back with some more brilliant cryptic grids, who else is going scramble my little bit of grey matter like you do? (4 years, 4 months ago)

woody62 @ #31202: got it all, nice and easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31204: stjohn, I did question if this was you and didn't believe it. NEVER EVER EVER let the trolls win!! x Take some time to calm down then come back and enjoy the games as you always have. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31199: Jock, I repelled at even having him brought to mind ;) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31199: Trev, as stjohn says these are so much more fun if you take the time pressure off. It took us about half an hour. (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31204: these were NOT my comments - having said that grid no good (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31199: Absolutely brilliant - that's the way to do a cryptic grid. Made us think but all the clues were in the grids so with thought could work them out even if you didn't know the answer. 10/10 for us both and a big 5*s to you, Well done marmencrypt keep them coming please (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31197: @ all, sorry to some nice people out there, but sick of this! I am out of here. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31204: not my comments - serious ugly trolls out there - very angry! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31199: 3/10 - loved it. how different minds work e.g. scottish I had bairn - add penny is 'p' + work is 'op - = pop obviously - not. also pres (prez) + weight (ton )= preston. so wrong was I, so much fum I had, thank you Marmencrypt (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bo @ #25921: Not good 10 seconds (4 years, 4 months ago)

manatee @ #31131: Thanks all much appreciated. (4 years, 4 months ago)

happy customer @ #27289: excellent (4 years, 4 months ago)

Marmendy @ #31209: A really tough one 6/10 but that was due more to luck than intelligence. Thanks! (4 years, 4 months ago)

disappointed customer @ #27299: this is apalling (4 years, 4 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #31207: I know there are judges, but you're probably right that they aren't panels as such like the others (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31207: 7/10 enjoyed this one, just slipped up on the crufts group link, as I'm not sure crufts has these? (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31209: Cryptic one for all the fans of this type of grid, forget the 3 minutes, screen shot it and just have a bit of fun to pass away a bit of lock down time. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Marmendy @ #31168: Very good Soozy, however I only put Dandy characters and didn't even get a half point! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jock @ #31199: Pretty good though must protest at the lack of respect for the Dear Leader. (Joke....just me being a wean). (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31204: What on earth is going on with these comments? keep it decent people please. 10/10 nice straightforward grid ty deped (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31197: 3/10 oh dear stjohn, was this in the wee hours after a few tipples? your links/reveals are more of a head scratch than the grid itself :)) this was Soozy syndrome on steriods ;) give us another one x (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31189: 10/10 so refreshing to do a straightforward grid, keeps ones spirits up thanks s1mm (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31169: Sorry Jock, this one didn't work for me either, virtually impossible to word the links correctly. Had a bit of fun trying though so ty for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31164: 5/10, so peeved when I see the reveals, I thought so many but couldn't join the dots. Another brain melter ty stjohn 5* to you Soozy syndrome hee hee glad it's not just me :)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maggot @ #31122: 10/10 in record time! Lovely wall! (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31199: @trev - cryptic grids are best enjoyed by refreshing or screen shot, not meant to be completed within 3 mins (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maggot @ #31165: 7/10 bit miffed as knew the connection but didn’t express it correctly but I was right ! Nice board! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Trev @ #31199: Be interesting if anyone is quick enough to do this one, be nice to get a give me more time button (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #31161: @Gagalady True - although the others in that group are drum specialists which is where the group is focused. I was using it as a red herring for the bike group but can see it's a bit inelegant. Award yourself the point! Thanks for playing. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sis @ #31176: Good grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31188: I made a typo - toy instead of Tony. Gutted! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kiguli @ #30437: Brooklyn nets (4 years, 4 months ago)

savetheclocktower @ #29802: Vincent, I imagine they'll work for most of the target audience — there's a UK flag on this one for a reason — but there are some rhotic accents in the UK. Doesn't really bother me because most homophones break down on one accent or another. (4 years, 4 months ago)

@Matt @ #11619: I think ‘obscene act’ works well, but ‘local rag’ is a bit of a stretch. I think I only got it because I happen to live in an area where it works. Maybe ‘Latin Hermes’ would make a better clue? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Family Short @ #31174: (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31007: 7/10 just couldn't see the Ms Hart group. Brilliant job primmy, keep 'em coming 5* (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31077: @Peekay and @Jamestown20 , thanks for your feedback (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31071: 0/10, nothing wrong, just not my wavelength. ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31070: 2/10, grid nearly very good. The 'ball' not very good. Trying too hard for the red herring methinks. ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31069: 6/10, good mix, ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #31077: Yeah, some of these clues are head-scratchers that's for sure, and a bit confusing having two different words for answers in 2 of the lines, however close they are, it just makes things confusing in an alraedy very hard grid...thanks for setting (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31068: 4/10, got me fair and square, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Planck @ #31049: The 'Abhors' link is a difficult one to catch. Perhaps a little too difficult. Nevertheless, it was a good wall. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jamestown20 @ #31077: Appreciate the effort, but some of the clues just didn't work for me....usually get that "aha" moment with cryptic grids, but this was more of an "eh?" (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31067: 10/10, good (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31066: 0/10, great if you know your fab four, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31065: 10/10, nice, uncomplicated, appreciated,thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31064: 6/10, great fun! thank you (some guessing involved) any more from you @Jock? (4 years, 4 months ago)

crypticstjohn @ #31077: A CRYPTIC GRID - unlikley to solve in the 3 mins, recommend refresh or screen shot, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31061: not for me. @freddgar me too (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31060: 3/10 good mix of easy and harder and controversy with day. ISO 8601 is one thing, however I believe the Lord's day comes first (imo) credo, devils advocate. anyway, enjoyable thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31073: A miserable 3/10 for me :( Must try harder. (4 years, 4 months ago)

King Crimson @ #22733: literally typed in "king" (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31059: 2/10, tough, sneaky and funny, I congratulate you! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31056: 2/10, who would think Enid's more memorable than kinky . thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jock @ #31064: Wandering Farmer is dodgy....apart from that...quite good. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31072: thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

ak @ #28959: Return and Enter are the same key? (4 years, 4 months ago)

io @ #31030: "Instrumentalists" should be the basic connection for that group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #31030: Also, is making everything plural sufficiently justified by the categories themselves? It appears to be merely a troll, making everything look the same. (4 years, 4 months ago)

drunken_angel @ #31030: As well as in jazz bands, trumpeters, trombonists, saxophonists, and drummers all appear in most marching bands. You usually see all but saxophonists in orchestras, but I've seen a saxophonist play in an orchestra too. They're all simply musicians. Calling the category "members of a jazz band" is just hyper-specific in the wrong way. If you're going to make the category so specific, its items must never appear together anywhere else, at least taken all together. (4 years, 4 months ago)

please select the rabbit @ #433: doubted myself on goonies and paid dearly for it (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #31046: Way beyond fiendish. No niche knowledge required, but much too convoluted to be feasible. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #31047: Nice, hard but fair. (4 years, 4 months ago)

OnlyCereal @ #31044: Good wall! But also a bit frustrating that you could swap Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael around and still get the same solution - ideally there should only be one unique solution, in that it's the only possible way the wall fits together. (4 years, 4 months ago)

OnlyCereal @ #31049: Loved the countries link (although I didn't get it)! Great wall :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

OnlyCereal @ #31060: Really enjoyed this one - nice range of clues and red herrings. I especially enjoyed the chemical groups in Lake Placid etc (4 years, 4 months ago)

OnlyCereal @ #31067: This grid was 'WICKED' - felt like I was on a 'Stairway to Heaven' haha (they're both referring to your groups here, very 'good') (4 years, 4 months ago)

Eidya @ #31038: Great grid, loved the car category :D (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mauvo @ #31059: Excellent, enjoyed that. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31053: 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Caz @ #28507: Very enjoyable. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31065: thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31066: good (4 years, 4 months ago)

please select the rabbit @ #30746: a measly 3/10 for me. but all the connections felt fair (4 years, 4 months ago)

please select the rabbit @ #30437: Got a chuckle from missing the NBA connection. lovely board (4 years, 4 months ago)

poor quizzer @ #21155: Didn't get the spongebob but liked the category. Palindromes are too unoriginal. I see racecar and think okay, now I've got to look for palindromes (4 years, 4 months ago)

poor quizzer @ #21324: @below commenters: I didn't get the bread category either but that's kinda the point. you know some things and you don't know others. Don't say it's a bad category just because you didn't know it (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31061: ?????????? (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31059: Good grid, got 4/10 Nice twist with the Sheffield/Clough thing Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31056: You might want to tighten up the Dave row. I put in the who and got a point ! (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31053: 10/10. Nice and straightforward grid. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31052: Ditto,7/10. Priam row beat me. Good grid though. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

gaffer @ #31045: un-PC covers the WPC group. Otherwise my typing finger gets tired!! (4 years, 4 months ago)

FrayedLogic @ #31060: 'According to international standard ISO 8601 Wednesday is the third day of the week' (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #31060: The first day of the week is Sunday. So Wednesday is fourth. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #31059: Very clever! Love it, Dr Marbles! (4 years, 4 months ago)

No unique solution @ #31044: Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo are all Italian artists as well as being Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (4 years, 4 months ago)

clarebear @ #31044: Great fun, guessed 3/4 categories straight away but took me a few goes to figure out the red herring (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31053: 10/10 straight forward, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31052: 7/10, neat and easy, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

12 @ #7062: 121 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #31053: Nice one (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31049: Nice grid - although I only got 4/10 :( (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31045: 7/10 slipped up on the dwight group but nice grid to solve ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30995: 1/10 :( Just a bit of a stretch for my little brain, though still enjoyed trying. 5* to you Well done Jericho, was that in 3 minutes? if so you're a bleeedin genius sir! :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

frisland @ #31048: love the agenda, but I don't think interests of dominic cummings is a good subject as 1. we don't know that he definitely likes those things, we're not In his head 2. the things that someone likes is a wide subject and probably contains much more things (4 years, 4 months ago)

MizQuiz @ #31048: Answered with the same 2 words for every group and got 10/10. Give stars! 😂 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Requiem @ #31049: Got the Irish and great ape links, but was a little stumped with the other two. Good links for a classic wall. (4 years, 4 months ago)

pbr @ #31049: Enya etc. really ingenious IMO. Fun grid! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31049: 4/10, for me mstly good, but not keen on the abhors link, - personal preference. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #31003: Enjoyed trying to solve this, not very well! 3/10. More like this please so we can get inside your cryptic mind :)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31047: 10/10, bravo! nice links/crossovers etc nearly went for old ITV regional broadcasters. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31034: happy 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30956: 4/10 Back to your most devious cryptic self sir, but enjoyed trying to solve it. ty :)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31046: fiendish grid, the 'minor' group have to admit extremely clever, ungettable, but clever. Saw 'tub' and 'harm' etc but looking at end of words, to slip them in anyplace not really cricket and 'blues' will not be known in UK. All said I applaud the construction but felt like work not fun. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maggot @ #31008: Great Wall! Love all the connections! 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31047: good (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31045: thanks pbr (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31044: 5/10 thought not accepting genres for the smooth group (and I now understand why) was a bit exacting. Clever use of the old masters etc, enjoyed very much thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

pbr @ #31045: Backboard should read blackboard, no? (4 years, 4 months ago)

morecats @ #30921: thanks @Mazda, edited! (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30971: Pretty easy and a nice change. Thanks for posting. @ Skinnyliz Definition of square leg : a fielding position in cricket, square with the receiving batsman and on the leg side. No, it's no clearer to me either :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31039: 7/10, some nice contemporary references (If you think a barman can't spot a drink during the lock down - cummon :-)) thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31038: 6/10 - good grid, missed out on specifics, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Hannah @ #30982: Nice work guys! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31037: (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31036: 3/10 interesting (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31034: 4/10, clever, looked easy but found curve balls to throw me off e.g. Q?. January and October. Use of more "obscure" if I may call them that made the grid that much tougher. Well done and thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #30915: Very easy. Nothing interesting. Rejected horse sports. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #30927: Very easy. Reclass please. Rejected leading men. Old time film stars ? Rejected synonyms. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #30952: Done in 40 seconds. Reclass as easy. Warwick Davies ridiculous. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #64: Didn’t get Georges (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #30965: Grids with 12 personal names are never satisfiying. Lines too limited. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #48: Nice (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #29338: Very nice, didn’t find the last two groups but got all the reasons. (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30971: Caught out by square leg, what's that?! Good fun though, thanks. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #30971: Not morphemes just random missing letters. Poor. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #31029: Awful. Words ending in -ug ? Didn't accept rhyme. Words you can separate into 2 or more words ? Crops covers any plant. Dreadful categories. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #31025: Very easy but some red herrings. (4 years, 4 months ago)

HaeL @ #30917: I think this one was really missing the point on how to make a puzz grid. I like that you tried to do a whole grid of memes. But it really missed the mark because no one really cares about sub categorizing meme.s (4 years, 4 months ago)

yoshi @ #31030: Wow, really makes you think! Love it! (4 years, 4 months ago)

OnlyCereal @ #31021: Annoyed at myself... didn't spot the theme of these, but very much enjoyed the reveal! Like stjohn said, this maybe would be slightly more enjoyable with a bit more variation in the theme (i.e. not three of the four connections coming from needing to change the letters) - great ideas though! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Trevgf @ #31029: Ug rhymes Crops plants (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #31029: Nice easy one with still a bit of misdirection, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31026: 3/10, I had to enlarge the screen to see these were not aeroplanes being restricted, Very clever Ping Ping, thank you😎👍 (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31028: Very good grid, can never solve the wall in these, fun trying though. Got all the links, so 4/10 for me...10/10 for you. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #31015: tough 3/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #31026: I actually got a point, just the one 😁 I enjoyed trying to work it out. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30872: 4/10, sorry, I don't get it. Link? and I think the billie line could use a fuller explanation, or is it just me? thanks anyway (4 years, 4 months ago)

JR @ #9603: Very good grid, could use better clue for A501 road... Pentonville rd is not a good clue (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31025: 10/10 well constructed not too difficult (try not to use all capitals) thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31021: 4/10 land easy, did not see the other lines, then on reveal repetitions, save some for other grids and mix them up a bit? however your grid your choice, some good material here (might pinch) thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31028: A CRYPTIC grid so avoid if not your cup of T (4 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #31002: Don't understand the Duster line at all! And the USB line is dodgy. The other three are peripheral items but USB is a method of connection. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30985: Tower group unfamiliar (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sal @ #31008: Good grid, lots of red harrings (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31010: Doesn't work for me. Very irritating. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Elocevets @ #31016: Thanks for flagging the typo! Rookie error. Now corrected. Cheers. Steve (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #31007: That was brilliant, Primrose. The kind of clues you look at for ages, then can't believe you didn't see straight away. Had to restart the clock three times, but got there in the end. Thanks. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #31016: 7/10 Surprised myself! The typo threw me for a while ... wondering was it deliberate for some reason. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #31002: Not sure about the "duster" and "bows" (4 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #31016: Edingburgh ?????? (4 years, 4 months ago)

OnlyCereal @ #30990: Really enjoyed this - a great mix of wordy and knowledge clues! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31014: I refer to my previous comments (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #31010: 2/10, difficult to attempt a grid similar to this - good historical knowledge/info, but doesn't scan very well. Use your info and use as part of other more varied grids. 5* for idea but only 2* for execution, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30952: Fun, thanks, don't think I should have got a point for Film (answer - films with Warwick Davies in)! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30004: 10/10 nice training grid for year 5 pupils (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30987: Tough. Very tough. (4 years, 4 months ago)

jefco @ #30981: Great grid. Never heard of Ryan Lamb, but when i saw Giggs was more thinking football players so threw me right off (4 years, 4 months ago)

Denise @ #30982: Awesome, thanks Katie (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mark @ #30984: This was tough! Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30986: Enjoyable, cheers. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30959: Two lines easy to get but the other two had me stumped (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30965: Got all the rows but went down many blind alleys along the way! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #30926: Well I really enjoyed this one. Thank you Purple Rain (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30973: Found this tough! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30979: Some good crossovers. Fun! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30984: I’m obviously out of touch - didn’t recognise lob as belonging to that group! Good grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dave 2D @ #10058: Excellent (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30971: ___ not for me. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30984: Very enjoyable thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30972: Variety = enjoyable. The same each category = frustrating, sorry 4/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30974: Really hard if not European... liked your others better *shrug* (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30979: Unique categories, nicely done (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30981: Liked the countries without last letter, nice. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30982: 10/10, good straightforward grid. Thanks for posting Never heard of Jack, looked it up, won't be eating that stuff. @Candy. I did, it's delicious and end on it looks err, well... like star😁 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #30982: Solid and enjoyable. Thanks. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30981: Good grid, thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Candy @ #30982: Some obvious links and others not so easy. Who knew there was a "Starfruit"? (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30979: Good one, 5/10, couldn't resolve the wall but got all the links. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30975: Very good, nice couple of red herrings Got 7/10. It was Offa what done for me guv, should have known that. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30974: 4/10 for me, on a fiendish !! Good grid, thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30973: Very good, couple of nice red herrings Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30952: thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30965: same (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #3608: "Parties" isn't correct? It's "formal events"? They're just gatherings of people, right? Those can't be called "parties"? Include some synonyms. " I'm a faggot, I'm a cuCK, I'M A WEIRDO (4 years, 4 months ago)

Beau Brenner Middlekauff @ #4069: I'm gay and I think this puzzle is 'gay-a-rifik' (4 years, 4 months ago)

Caz @ #30981: Good grid, nice and simple. Thank you! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Whimskull @ #25921: I can barely read your puzzle because I'm watching a stream at 144p but it's a pretty good puzzle from what I could see maybe add an HD option, yeah? (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30975: good (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30979: happy 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

not bad @ #30966: It's a neat idea, but having several connections throughout makes it impossible to categorize properly. 2 categories depend on putting together one category first. It also helps when the elements of the category match in scale. For instance, Apollo, Artemis, and Gemini are all NASA programs, but Enterprise is a shuttle glider, not a whole program (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30965: 7/10, nice grid, didn't know the Fred row. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30960: Nice. But, rock stars not given. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pete @ #30796: I'm afraid I have to agree with bonjorno about Federer. He doesn't fit that group because Roger as a first name isn't the same as Rogers as a last name. It also felt a bit repetitive that three of the four categories dealt with media franchises for children. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #30939: The _ia group are also all authors. E.g. Paul Frees & Nancy Garden. (4 years, 4 months ago)

MB @ #30935: Got the drinks and the animations, but the other two - well i think your mind works diferrently to mine. (4 years, 4 months ago)

MB @ #30944: 3/10 just too strange (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #30945: 10 in half the available time. All good fair groups, but a bit easy. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30956: That's what cryptic means, mate. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Wordie @ #30967: Enjoyed this grid, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Wordie @ #30971: Thanks for a fun grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mo @ #30971: (4 years, 4 months ago)

Savage @ #30956: No chance! Too tenuous. Only person who thought this grid up would have a chance. I mean, Michael m = Michaelmas day. Really?! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30956: That's a belter, stjohn. Took me a good 15 minutes and I only got a few of them long after I'd worked out the links. Who knew it wasn't Fred Titmus, for a start? Very impressed to get 10/10 in the end. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Eagle @ #30437: What kind of a team name is the Nets?!?! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dries @ #179: "UK counties which have received parts of Lancashire in the various boundary changes." I will not stop playing (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rainbow @ #30004: Very good, we got 7/10, thank you for making it. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dries @ #379: A cute attempt at a puzzle (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rainbow @ #29745: We got 7/10 we enjoyed it (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dries @ #29197: SHAME! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rainbow @ #30856: We got 7/10 It was very good, well done. We enjoyed solving it (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rainbow @ #30599: We got ten out of ten, it was really enjoyable, well done. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Max @ #30704: Very nice grid, but should maybe not be listed as hard. xoxo maxxxx (4 years, 4 months ago)

Max @ #12437: Yeah! You could have warned us about the spooky themes presented here. Also, spirits are not supernatural, I spoke to my dead grandmother through a medium last week. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #30940: habitats as well (4 years, 4 months ago)

Max @ #12814: 2 clever indeed a plague on your face (4 years, 4 months ago)

Michael @ #30635: Zehr Gut! (4 years, 4 months ago)

A. Tolley @ #30963: Bad grid, did not enjoy at all. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30952: 'Twas easy, but nice Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #30936: Nice grid, missed two reasons (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #30959: Nice grid, got all the groups but missed one connection. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #30915: Easy, marked me wrong even though I typed tomato. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pam @ #30952: Need some cross over groups. too easy to find them (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30959: 4/10 and content, unlikely to have got the other two lines. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30952: 7/10, nice uncomplicated grid thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30949: 5/10, chasing structures and locations was very good, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

H @ #30494: Ah I got the groups but couldn't figure out the birds and berries due to my own lack of knowledge in those areas! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30941: Ways of drinking ... never heard of some of them. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30948: Very nice. Very satisfying :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30949: A good geographic workout (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30945: 3/10, nicely done! vine was thinking of his brother then they would all be J's, but you probably knew that. Good grid indeed, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

KT @ #30941: too vague (" banking related words" doesn't feel like a group) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30941: 0/10, If you don't mind, this is an example of a grid which is clever but not fun, sorry (4 years, 4 months ago)

KT @ #30944: too many diseases! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30940: 7/10, I want to give myself 10 for same reason as Keith, good grid, enjoyed, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30939: 5/10, cannot argue with the quality of the grid, well done, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30944: 3/10 sorry too much use of initials, try again please, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30936: 7/10, think I got luck selecting the correct 'homes' quickly and the name line also, only recognised 1. got me on the run line. Enjoyable quiz, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30942: 7/10 (less than 30 mins haha). Excellent. missed out on the CD line, had most of it but tripped up on Sti, so obvious, I ignored it. Favourite had to be Furious Papal Edict - smashing. 5*+ thanks Jericho (4 years, 4 months ago)

diane @ #29783: Enjoyed this grid. (4 years, 4 months ago)

diane @ #29787: Queen/Royal Honours for the Order group and British organisations could be allowed. (4 years, 4 months ago)

diane @ #29814: Fun (4 years, 4 months ago)

Keith @ #30939: You didn’t accept comics or -ia. A bit mean. (4 years, 4 months ago)

diane @ #29853: Good grid - I enjoyed this. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Keith @ #30944: Too bizarre (4 years, 4 months ago)

diane @ #30144: and only one L in aluminium - just saying! :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Keith @ #30940: I think you might have allowed habitats. (4 years, 4 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #30939: Good grid. Liked it. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Clariel @ #30933: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Yes @ #26898: Noice (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30939: Agree with Primrose, very good and straightforward grid. I just fluffed the Dahl row, so 7/10 Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30894: Excellent, st john. Just under six minutes for a 7/10. The airports did for me, too. Some great clues, too. Us Tin Opus Exit? Brilliant. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30936: Imaginative (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30939: Good one. Proof that a good grid doesn’t have to be full of obscurity. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30895: Nice one again, sooz. Five minutes for my 10/10. So well put together. The Clint diversion was a beauty. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30939: thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30939: Enjoyed this lots! 10/10 but loads of red herrings if you try and start in the wrong place! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #2296: Really enjoyable 6/10 but 5 stars for you (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30936: thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dan @ #30936: I definitely got 'hung' up on a red herring - nicely played. (4 years, 4 months ago)

H @ #27754: Easy fun with some nice red herrings. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bexj @ #28959: F1 foxed me (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30906: Great fun, enjoyed - what's with Addams Family though, it is everywhere! :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

The Fellas @ #30057: Bruh (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30863: Good ideas, thanks, but pool should be correct, surely (answer - words preceded by pool) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30932: GOOD red herrings! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30932: Tough one, took a while to get a group together. Food red herrings and overlaps (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30885: These are not only Broadway musicals, musical(s) should be sufficient for the answer. As should chef(s) instead of surnames of chefs. Clever though. Thanks. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #28414: Nice! Easy until I hit a blank with triangle numbers and had to solve by lucky elimination of primes. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30933: Good grid. Great crossovers and red herrings. Enjoyed it! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #28412: Nice. Particularly appreciated playing field and the field as well as the return of the Maybot ! (4 years, 4 months ago)

nnnn @ #30910: Outstanding - managed to get them once they were sorted in their groups. Really enjoyable. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kittymcg @ #30737: Great, as always. Thank you. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #28392: Nice grid; I also went for b (4 years, 4 months ago)

Riam @ #30926: Thanks for posting. Diarists was a bit niche so didn’t guess the link but very good overall. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #28388: Nice! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Riam @ #30927: Poke isn’t a synonym of peck. Good grid otherwise. (4 years, 4 months ago)

feelsgoodman @ #30917: well done sir (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #30512: 3/10. Stellar grid! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #2507: What kind of OC category is "one-word movie titles"?! Everything in the grid is just one word! (4 years, 4 months ago)

AMXXY @ #869: Good wall, though technically the Tim Burton film was spelled Beatlejuice. I'm not aware of anyone referencing the star 3 times. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #30927: Nice. Not sure about poke fitting that group, but nice to do on a Saturday morning under Lockdown. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #21523: Problem: everything that's "white" here can also be "black." The Black Sea is much better known than the White Sea, a black lie is one that's intentionally harmful, a Black Russian is also a cocktail, and "white night" only works as a colloquialism to begin with because it contrasts with "black night," which night usually is. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #29197: 10/10. Nice grid! I love that Lysander tips you off to a category. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #16104: Excellent grid, Silverman. I see what Jim means about there being more than one solution, but I think it's a master stroke you set it up that way. Anyway, once you disambiguate just one group, the "unique solution" problem goes away. So it would only be a problem, really, if you had to submit all groupings at once, which isn't how an OC wall works. (4 years, 4 months ago)

PeterHenry @ #176: Cycle right hill town river run load can all be up and down. There is not just one perfect solution. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #423: Hahahahahahahahaha!!!! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #3608: "Parties" isn't correct? It's "formal events"? They're just gatherings of people, right? Those can't be called "parties"? Include some synonyms. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #4069: 10/10. Good puzzle. I disagree with the quibblers, re: Pentium and Macintosh. The category is "computers," not brands, companies, or models. If you know the history of computers, the category basically holds together. Just thinking of names associated with that history is enough for a good quizzer to put it together. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30926: Mathilda wasn't a British queen, she was a disputed Queen of England. Good grid other than that Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30933: good grid, happy 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joshua @ #30746: Brilliant grid! Don't know what Dan's banging on about with "they all start with P," which is an easy red herring to spot because you'd think, "No, it can't be that!" I didn't know the Sinatra connection right off but got the grid sorted anyway using those words, on my first try and just guessing, after figuring out the horror writers and "-eer." Something just *felt* right about those words going together, and it took a bit of staring at them afterwards to work out why. I love it when a grid gives me something to intuit. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #26608: You need to add "palindrome" as an accepted word, or just "palindrom" (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30920: happy 10/10 but cinnamon isn't sweet, better to make them flavours (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #30915: gosh. that was fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #30915: gosh. that was fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30908: 3/10, relatively content with that. Gotta know your Mary Westmacott. thank you. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #30909: All the sudokus were too niche, but the rest were nice. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30907: 1/10, got lost with all the periods to the point of giving up. however when the wall was resolved, they all made sense. Maybe me but overladen with the periods to make it a good grid, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #30913: Ditto. And why did flaunt etc. not accept relatives? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30906: 10/10, thank you and hope you have a good bank holiday and a cup of Kopi Luwak cheers! (4 years, 4 months ago)

jcow @ #30864: Yeah you guys are right, I'll improve it. (this is my first one) (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30905: 3/10, but did not accept some of (valid in my opinion) answers. Good grid, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30904: 3/10, one line found and one other link based on one entry so lucky. 1 line no idea and 1 link very clever. I enjoyed thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #30914: and Foreman and Dillion as red herrings too (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #30914: sorry about a two heavyweight boxing catagories, but i wanted Cooper and Tyson to be red herrings (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30903: 7/10 (not in 3 mins), lovely trip down memory lane. Blackjacks etc were 4 4 1d. Only one not got was what was lacking. Enjoyed that, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30901: 4/10 were you aware the step line also includes shortened hidden boys names? good grid enjoyed and thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #30913: WTF. (4 years, 4 months ago)

RudiBlue @ #30901: 10/10 but with seconds to go! Great grid with some good red herrings! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30910: I think the grid only permits a max of 24 characters including spaces (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30910: 1/10, loved giving it a go, some really clever/devious clues. got Notts and bore but guessed the link. Please post similar again, it takes time to understand your thought processes. Better than gardening? thank you. (4 years, 4 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #30891: Tough one, saw links between the clues but not the right ones. Typo on “fallen” but it didn’t hinder me. Thanks for submitting (4 years, 4 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #30897: 10/10 with 0:01 on the clock! Pitched just right for me :) Got the cyan group but only because it used to be on a computer keyboard when I was a kid! 5*, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30897: Very good grid, 7/10 for me, 10/10 for you. Got everything but the Rad row. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30886: 5/10 still not getting the trip link, but was fun having a go ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30895: Struggled with this one Sooz. Practice makes better, so keep them coming. Feeling inspired. Compile a grid or garden?mmm... (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30897: 5/10 everything worked (except me) key? new to me thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30888: Good grid but as per stjohn. It should be lumber Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30888: Really enjoyed trying to solve this one truecockney. Yes there were teeny weeny slips but it didn't detract from enjoying it for me. Keep 'em coming please :) 5/10 this time. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30890: 5/10, Louis? (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #26975: I generally really enjoy your puzzles but I think four apparently unrelated anagrams without an anagram indicator is unfair - has anybody got this? And the deer are only marginally better. Methinks you're trying too hard! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30888: 3/10, too many errors e.g. lumber/lumber, leafs for casual reading and 'usual' nursery rhyme??. Suggest re-work it and resubmit as grid has merits. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30896: Didn't do very well, I'm afraid, but nice grid. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30886: 0/10, couldn't grasp the links (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30885: 10/10 liked the current weather connection, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30890: Another good grid ty 10/10 for both of us. Maybe worth amending the Mary group just take out British? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30884: 6/10, fell into you trap, fine grid thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30898: Liked this one, nice diversity and not a million red herring to chase. More like this please. 4/10 for us, 5* for you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30891: 2/10, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30876: A paltry 3/10 but enjoyed trying to solve it ty quilly (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30898: I got a big 0 haha but I liked it, think the Army line might have overlap with other substitutes for their key answers as there is one I put in that I think fits and is the same vein but your answer was probably more obvious so I don't mind too much. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Melliemadrid @ #30898: Too difficult for me today! (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30890: good (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #26539: Food gun (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30897: Really enjoyable grid, enough to make you think without chasing endless red herrings. 10/10 for us both and 5* for you (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30897: Super nice grid, got 5/10 and thought it was a solid grid with good answers. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30897: happy 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nick @ #15868: Super Easy (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30891: Found this one lived up to it's billing. Quite a challenge but still enjoyed tryng ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30894: Cheers Sooz, see what you mean and have amended, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30895: Thanks peeps, and yes they do take a lot of time but it's good for the old grey stuff to keep it working and I really enjoy compiling them. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30894: 7/10 and a highly enjoyable pastime ty stjohn I missed the airports group, I decided it was Paddington (apparently he's been popping up in Stanley Kubrick memes!) and Waterloo because of the wc ref, missed the ton bit completely. One insy winsy teeny weeny critique, maybe that clue should have been the other way around? Absolutely LOVE these, I know they take time to compile let alone submit but please keep 'em coming x (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30882: 1/10 so many noir it's hard to see anything else. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

RudiBlue @ #30895: 10/10 Really enjoying the cryptic grids keep them coming! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30895: 10/10 - gotcha, nice red herrings with two other movies, and I had bullet point which nearly sent me in another directions. not as devious as some earlier posts (on purpose?). Lovin' these grids spending more time composing than doing Thanks Sooz (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30864: thank you for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

david @ #30853: "digital products?" not file types or publishing the S ones can also have all their Cs replaced by Bs (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30863: 3/10, good grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

david @ #30856: his dark materials wasn't a film, it was a TV series (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30860: 0/10 scored. cudda,shudda television line but didn't and I liked the humourous inclusion. Rest was beyond me, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30859: 10/10, very happy, took a little while to untangle. good grid, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kavango @ #30890: King Louis? a Britsh monarch? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30858: ahh! or heh? too clever for me (4 years, 4 months ago)

Yes @ #26894: Noice (4 years, 4 months ago)

HADBS @ #30808: Yes it is too vague. It is relatively common knowledge that those four saints were the founders of the main monastic orders. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30856: 4/10 nice mix of subjects, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30837: changed the grid from Helen to Xerxes and did not double check before posting - my bad (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30890: Liked it, 4/10 but got most categories just couldn't quite connect the words as there was always one in each one I didn't know haha (4 years, 4 months ago)

Lorraine @ #30372: Great quiz Jo! A wonderful tool for assessing children's knowledge. Thank you! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Colmac @ #30884: There is a major red herring! Great grid. (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30885: Nice work, solid herrings made me kick myself with the Day line even though I was on the right track at one point. Got a 3/10 but enjoyed heaps. (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30884: Pretty solid and straightforward, 7/10 coz I duffed the last one but tight groups and if you wanted to make it difficult there could of been more red herrings but if not you hit a nice medium spot. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30882: Nope. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30852: Thanks for the positive feedback guys, it fuels my fire :) Yes Primmy it's me, I just thought by putting cryptic it saves the ones who don't like them from bothering. (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30837: Great! But elements too hard for me :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30856: Great thanks! :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30860: I would of got one but I put another answer for the "special" connection that is based of the official version. Really fun but hard grid though, kinda also got another category but didn't name it right. (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30867: nice got 3/10 but think most of it was pretty straight forward and well constructed. Plus I got a good Elvis fact for trivia night haha (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30869: I like the idea but since numbers represent a lot of things there is a lot of overlap, the 1 category could be dollar bills and I am sure there are others. (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30870: Liked the theme but got a bit burnt by the answers and got 6/10. Agree with maybe putting a few alts but also one was probably my fault anyway haha. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pallavi @ #30372: Enjoyed completing the quiz! Thank you Jo for organising this. (4 years, 4 months ago)

psyrick @ #30876: I liked it, it referenced something that made me chuckle but was mature still. I got 7/10 and enjoyed it thanks. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Melliemadrid @ #30818: (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #238: Great grid; not difficult , but pleasingly tricky to separate out categories in time . (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #30876: Great grid. Really hard (2/10) especially the arsey category! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maggot @ #30830: 10/10 all my ideas were correct! Fastest I’ve solved one in WEEKS! Lovely connections! And a very nice wall! (4 years, 4 months ago)

ChippyD @ #30870: Good wall but would benefit from more alternatives on the Suzuki answers (4 years, 4 months ago)

weak @ #30872: quite disappointed in the Rhett group. not a strong enough connection; you can do better! (4 years, 4 months ago)

mr. coren-mitchell @ #30864: As with all things, I agree with Mrs. Coren-Mitchell. (4 years, 4 months ago)

RudiBlue @ #30849: 7/10 Very happy with that! Love this grid and all your cryptic ones! (4 years, 4 months ago)

RudiBlue @ #30852: 5/10 which I’m happy with! Brilliant grid. Really enjoying the cryptic grids so keep them coming! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mazda @ #30870: Really got me thinking! Thank you for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30849: I did better than your second one 2/10 Keep them coming (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mrs Coren-Mitchell @ #30864: Grid is flawed; the solution is not unique. For example, ‘barrage’ and ‘ballet’ could be swapped. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30830: 3/10 obvious gaps in my knowledge especially geography, thanks LittleQuill (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30852: Are you Soozy transformed? I’ll need more than 3 mins if you continue in this vein! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maxine @ #30863: Did not know what to expect as have not done a puzzle grid before. Found it difficult but surprised I got some of it right! (4 years, 4 months ago)

jc @ #30804: That was really good! Every category had more than four that could fit. (4 years, 4 months ago)

OD @ #30834: There isn't a character in P&P with surname William. There's William Collins or Fitzwilliam Darcy. (4 years, 4 months ago)

poor quizzer @ #30419: Fun but shouldn't be labeled hard. Solved in 31 seconds without mistakes, and I'm not good at these things normally. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #30845: Liked it. Thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #30848: Enjoyed that one. Thanks. So good to hear slogans from back in the day! (4 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #30852: Nice one (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #30830: Well that was a lot easier than I thought it would be. 10/10 with 2 minutes left. Obviously suited my range of knowledge. Thanks LittleQuill (4 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #30851: Good one (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30852: Bit harder this time, sooz, but worth every second. Completed it just before I ran out of time the second time. Once I realised ABBA wasn't "ish" it was all over. Thank you, as always. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gabriel Wagstaff @ #30679: Wasn't familiar with TrainSpotting and Vertigo. I willl have to watch them! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Kasey @ #6634: i said the correct answers (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30852: 6/10 (not in 3 mins obviously) got 2 lines quite readily but had to concede defeat and therefore played the grid out. Omly had people from countries (too obvious to be true, and I was correct and thinking game re asp but nothing else fitted as far as I could see) the flash of light and recognised rag , world domination!then. very happy with my score. thank you crypticsooz. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30830: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30838: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #30840: Quite easy but satisfying (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30849: Firstly, love these, and agree more of same ilk would be great. I think you have had a good idea in starting ones #ID with "cryptic" to advertise the type of grid, I will follow suit. Having said that 2/10 cooer missus. Cryptic is certainly the word. 7th french letter = ash ergo looking for trees :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #30851: 10/10 Satisfying mix of categories woven together (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tia Singh @ #30679: (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #30806: I actually knew the Hitch thing, which gave me a way in - super hard and fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30825: I would class this as Hard for people who aren't familiar with Singapore. Got the group but no chance I was going to get the connection. Nice grid though. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30827: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Macros @ #4069: As others have said, Pentium doesn't fit. The others are brands of computer, whereas Pentium is a type of CPU. Perhaps swap it out for Atari or something. (4 years, 4 months ago)

bonjorno @ #30796: not really thrilled to have three with last name Rogers and one first name Roger. could just replace Federer with another famous ______ Rogers (Kenny), or at least the Jolly Roger so it's the second part throughout. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Johnly @ #30779: Very fine grid. Good fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30811: 4/10. Couldn't resolve the wall. Easy after the reveal Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30817: You need to check this - it doesn't seem to have answers registered properly. I answered drummer to the top one and it listed their full names, no title, and said I was incorrect. I said pope for group 2 - wrong, it is popes! Gp 3 and 4 are just a list of president's names. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30804: Maybe allow "colour" as well as "color" ? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #30757: Could have been a very good puzzle just needed a bit of checking. Don't let us put you off try again. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nkhosi @ #29160: Tough one Sir. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Merm @ #30788: 7/10.... easy board to get - just didn’t know what the Strength line was. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30786: You appear to have found the sweet spot, soozy. Last one I got with 0:13 to go, this one on the last life with 0:20 on the clock, Loved it! Thx (4 years, 4 months ago)

Feigenthaum @ #30794: You spelled "Greg" wrongly :( (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30786: 4/10, that was after 30 mins on screen shot. I thought I had fruit line with peach mixed yellow for apricot and wine etc for greengage anags. never saw stein. Had a lot of fun with that, thanks Soozy P.S. £$£x3 = 1029, that did my head in LOL (4 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #4165: This puzzle was one of my favorites yet, except for the "crystal maze" bit, which I have never heard of (4 years, 4 months ago)

lucy @ #30786: Hilariously impossible! But that's just me (4 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #6833: the family member bit was clever (4 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #2748: The inclusion of space and alt to throw off the most obvious category (keyboard) was brilliant (4 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #15868: I got it a moment too late, the addition of "washington" had me thinking about states, and also US presidents. Good puzzle (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30784: 6/10, my answer not specific enough re: dodoma, my fault and then HP, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30782: 10/10, simple red herrings, liked it, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30780: 2/10, a toughie for sure (4 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #1396: Best puzzle I have seen yet, the potential extra connections force you think strategically, considering what categories you must identify first. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30779: 2/10 , I like a challenge, but too many gym references, too many equine, and some dodgy inclusions just to ramp up the difficulty. Quantity over quality for me, sorry (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30790: 10/10, not taxing, OK for an easy grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30776: 10/10 whoop whoop! with 1min to spare, first time I have ever been able to out that after a quilly grid :)) Lovely ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30778: pot and kettle stjohn :) 5/10 missed 2 groups and the bracelet group escaped me duh!! Nice one blossy (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30782: greasy line needs widening for links or just synonyms. Apart from that enjoyed having a crack ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30784: I need to read those bleedin' books!! Good grid ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30790: first 10/10 for today, good grid ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30773: So honoured to actually be included in a grid....lol 2/10, so wickedly deliciously fiendish! I too was chasing bands, took clint out of (left) the pelicans and got 'a sheep' :)) thought susie and banana were beginnings of girl bands. Great way to while away the time. ty Stjohn, regardless of my pitiful score I loved it. (4 years, 4 months ago)

james @ #30790: really good (4 years, 4 months ago)

Stylos @ #30786: Excellent! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Stella Parkinson @ #30679: (4 years, 4 months ago)

nathan @ #30764: very hard could not figure it out but once they where reviled i knew them all (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maytri @ #30372: Thanks, Jo! That was really interesting and got me thinking! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30776: Love the Taskmaster group (4 years, 4 months ago)

Wordie @ #30782: Nice (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30778: 4/10 a little on the hard side, but so what. Well constructed, get the feeling that the grid was largely developed from one word? thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30777: 4/10, most excellent, did not get/see a single line, but got all the links. very well crafted, thank you for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #30764: cool! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30773: @Jericho, grid was a nod to you and the other doyens of this enjoyable pastime. This isn't a competition, but as you say, I won. A tois (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30773: You win. I got 2/10. Ran it through 4 or 5 times, too. Didn't help that I confused Napoleon's horse (Marengo) for Wellington's, thought Cape St Vincent was in the Grenadines and spent ages looking for fruit and bands (Bastille, Spandau Ballet & ...?) that were never there. I suppose you owed me that for the other day. :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Oof @ #30592: As a non-Brit this is absolutely impossible. Should have gotten the trees at least. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pretty good @ #30770: Got two of the groups, but it wouldn't accept "authors" or "same age" as the respective connections. 2/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nitpick @ #30772: Haribo is a candy manufacturer, whereas Wham and Drumstick are specific kinds of candy. PEZ could be described as both. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30763: Neat! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30769: Good red herrings but Triumph line very tenuous (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #2748: Enjoyable! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anjella @ #30770: Too obscure for me! If I sat and looked at it for an hour, I wouldn’t get even one of these groups! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #30762: Nice themed grid, giving me a rare 10/10! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30775: 7/10 - agree with freddgar, was easy and ee should be accepted. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30764: Great fun, well done! (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30775: Good grid, found it quite easy, maybe allow "all have ee" ? Fun to do, thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30762: 5/10, sort of got the measure of it, but couldn't quite complete the wall. Excellent (4 years, 4 months ago)

anon @ #30726: Only spoilt by the 122 line. Connection too vague (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gavin @ #30704: Nice grid. Thought the Prince row was 'Air...' at first and was wondering what 'Air Gold' was! (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30764: 10/10, interesting way you used to indicate that they were all word clues and where the word should go. I think however it made the puzzle easier than need be, but I applaud your reasoning. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30765: 7/10, yes same as HADBS, but missed the Dupe link doh! Smashing grid, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

rico @ #30757: Answer is 'Zim' but you've put 'Rim' as the clue making it pretty much impossible to get that group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Timmy @ #30761: Fiendish (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30762: Stitched me up like a kipper (4 years, 4 months ago)

bob @ #30754: it's a bit difficult when two tiles have exactly the same word yet only one is accepted (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30731: 7/10 (would be 10 but could not think of another word for conurbations). Still pleased with my result, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30730: 2/10, couple of stinkers in there, fiendish (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30726: A numbers only grid IS a a difficult concept, and is not pleasing on the eye for most, nevertheless, it is valid do not stop (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30725: had about a dozen possibilities unfortunately for me they did not match yours, I keep learning stuff though (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30722: way beyond me (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30733: 7/10 great job primmy ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30718: 3/10 for me, enjoyed trying to solve it ty Jericho (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30726: All of the below (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30718: nothing too tricky? (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30717: not bad, quite difficult (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30716: HP (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30726: Very off-putting when you're presented with a wall of numbers only. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30728: Definitely a fiendish. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30729: Managed 4/10. Don't know any males named Chester. Found that group a bit odd. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30727: Mouths and mobiles. Nah. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30728: Too specialised for my liking. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30715: hard (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30714: 4/10 thought the grid had merit. although the'red' line a tad too niche. and an alternative for blue would be better (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30711: I liked this grid even though I only found 1 line and 2 links. steve line over my head. thankyou (4 years, 4 months ago)

aaa @ #30720: good grid, the films were not in my range of knowledge though. (4 years, 4 months ago)

stjohn @ #30707: no - obviously (4 years, 4 months ago)

aaa @ #30726: Number grids are generally too difficult to find consistent patterns in, and multiples of 8 are also multiples of 2 and 4, which were not accepted. "Non-prime numbers" is also too broad of a category to be able to link logically. (4 years, 4 months ago)

aaa @ #30727: 3/10, missed all the connects but got 3 links. The mobiles were a little niche for me, but managed to guess the rest. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Alzer @ #30634: Correct spelling is antelope (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sexmir @ #15868: ez clap (4 years, 4 months ago)

Pete @ #30617: In my opinion, it's not as elegant or satisfying when the missing word precedes some members of the group but follows others. (4 years, 4 months ago)

elocevets @ #30717: 10/10 - almost foiled by the fish, but sussed them out just in time :-) Nice work! (4 years, 4 months ago)

David M @ #30694: Hidden transport! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ade @ #30704: Agree with Steve. Thanks LittleQuill. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30694: Nice wordplay in here; not too many red herrings; thankyou. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30687: Good grid - not too many red herrings, but groups are clear and unambiguous. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30707: Three of these 'groups' don't actually appear to be groups of anything, I'm afraid, and the explanations leave me no wiser. The group of prophets in Christianity is good, and has a clear red herring. But try not to mix names of fictional kings with names of people whose surname is King; this is not a cogent group. You've named some rappers, but if the link is their real forenames then Jay is not Jay Z's real forename. And I can't see the link in the other group, which you don't define in the explanation. I've tried to be constructive so please accept the feedback in the spirit in which it's intended. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30686: Quality grid, thankyou. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30372: This was so much fun, Jo! I love the show Only Connect, but I had never thought of using the quiz wall as a way of assessing the children's knowledge. It is definitely something I will do in future! I was able to use some inference and process of elimination to work the groups out, but there were some phrases that I wasn't too sure of, which I will now look up. Thank you!

Meera Fernandes @ #30372: I haven’t heard of the happy human. I want to find out about it now. This is a great game to play with the children. It made me think about the similarities between religions and realise that they all have a key figure, import any book, place and symbol. The information forms a basic knowledge around which RE can be taught. Highlights some of the facts and key language that should be on the knowledge organiser. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Julita James @ #30372: Thank you Jo, you got me thinking. I really do need to brush up on religious artefacts. I enjoyed this quiz, thank you! Well done! (4 years, 4 months ago)

GY @ #30549: Nice grid - a gentle warm up! (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #30631: @Soozy - just through the email link. I don't think it's just a Patreon thing. Are they going to your spam perhaps? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30654: 10/10, but I had to give myself an extra minute to get there.Enjoyed that, soozy, thx. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30538: first 10/10, pleased. enjoyed it. Albatross "good"? thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bog @ #30509: it's pine martEn! :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30536: knew almost everything and got 1/10 - loved it, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30537: happy 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30538: Very good grid, found it quite easy (10/10) Maybe because I'm a fan of YouKnowWho and ex RN :-) Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30534: Needed a restart, but got 10/10. Probably the best grid of its type since we started (as far as I know?) doing them yesterday. Enough one word clues that I wasn't even sure it was this type for a while. Oh, and it's another idea I was planning to use myself one day, but that's not a complaint! (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30534: 5/10, have been enjoying this type of grid and this is bang on the money. Thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #30536: I have been a little strict on the keywords here - but award yourself whatever points you think you deserve! Thanks for playing. (4 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #30537: Amazing! Brilliant (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30532: mobile? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Seymour Skinner @ #30535: Great wall (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30534: Really good grid, lots of red herrings, and effort on your part. Also too clever (2/10) for me Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

chris @ #30524: Nice one (4 years, 4 months ago)

d @ #30223: awful (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30515: 4/10 - Thanks. Kicking myself because I thought of the correct link the moment I saw Music City on the wall, but didn't recognise the other three and didn't even guess it at the end. If Medinah had also been in there, I think I'd have got 7, only missing on the snake connection. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30532: 5/10 - nice grid, I liked the amigos group. I don't normally point out typos, but "Doplhins" matters because there are other words that look like they might contain typos but don't. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30526: 3/10 - Well done. You tricked me down the Scout/Cub/Brownie rabbit-hole, even after seeing Scout's group. Thanks. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30528: 3/10 - I also got the 15 group, and saw the P2P link but didn't manage to get the right group in time. I love the ideas! That includes the 4N6 one, but I needed the explanations for most of that group! Easier examples could have been IV, B4, MN8, Q8, maybe XQs at a stretch. (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #30482: @J I take your point. Much more suited to laptops/larger screens than phones. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30516: not bad (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30515: 6/10 solved the wall, found two lines by pure luck, yet more HP nausea and on ice line not a scooby, thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30528: 2/10 great idea, some stretching and check your answers for the 15 group, only one I got btw. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30526: 4/10, fiendish LittleQuill. thank you for my morning's mental breakdown/ sorry meant mental work out. I thunk. 1 line found 2 I knew but could not complete and one not in my sphere. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #204: More medium than hard (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30524: Excellent grid, 3/10 for me. Lots of red herrings, but got 3 rows, didn't know that about Blondie !! Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #30437: Some good overlaps; nice groups; I guessed the NBA but didn't know what it was called, if you see what I mean! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rita McMorrow @ #30470: 5/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30510: 5*. Hard to find groups as perfect as the soak one, and to even get a red herring out of it too is nice. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30524: 5/10, wow so many red herrings and baked products, thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30514: fiendish grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30521: why did i come back for more (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30522: only 1/10 and that's because I'm old enough to remember the rascals. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rita McMorrow @ #17624: Woohoo! I did it (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30523: 1/10, really quite a tough grid, spent ages looking at civillisation before I saw it. well done thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Rita McMorrow @ #30521: Some of these are hard, could get addictive (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30518: 3/10, bloody supermarket, very good grid thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30520: 7/10 no complaints, neatly constructed, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30503: Very good grid, fluffed the countries row. Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ned @ #10711: So clever, well done (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30507: Some really nice ideas in there, and it's much harder than you think! It's not obvious to me why Cognitive belongs in its group aside from its initial letter, and I'm sure you're going for more than that? (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30507: please include shorter words in your accepted answer to include singular. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Plum @ #1708: V clever! Really enjoyed it. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30503: 5/10, as usual a quality grid. got me on time and specificity on countries. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Plum @ #21280: Fun grid.Nice misdirection on the categories. Still, a bit too easy for medium once you get past that. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30497: 2/10 erm? - bit loose/vague and small error with description of shapes. you may wish to amend and thank you anyway (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30496: 7/10 nice grid thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30495: 1/10, it has been said many times, that just because one does not know something it detracts from the grid. plenty there for me not to know, thanks anyway (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30494: 5/10, solid grid, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30493: 3/10 good grid, so many false leads and red herrings, very slippery, well done and thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

mattt @ #30432: My bad! (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30490: Saw the theme immediately because I was preparing the same idea myself! Still needed a restart. This was a lot better than what I'd come up with so far. Congrats! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27382: Nice :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #29189: Nice :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Merm @ #30476: Yep, I went for snooker balls too. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30477: 5* from me! 10/10 with one second left... and ... erm... after a restart. Just before the restart I was about to give up, but I had my lightbulb moment from Trapped in Gringotts. (4 years, 4 months ago)

chris @ #30476: Would regard snooker balls as acceptable answer. (4 years, 4 months ago)

eroomuk @ #30476: I was thinking more specific on colours and went for snooker balls (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #30482: @Paul...yes - I'm on Twitter @charlotteorba where I've done a screenshot. I think it should be 3 mins of looking then 3 mins of puzzgridding...or something like that. Too hard otherwise. Anyway - glad you like it. I've a few more like this on my Twitter feed including some musical ones.... (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30476: Some nice ideas in there, and with a bit of work could become a very good grid. E.g. replacing "black" with "rabbit" would give you jack_____ instead of just associations. Similarly for box, where boxfish is also a bit obscure. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30482: @SmileyMiley, this is a joke, impossible to do in 3 minutes AND by the way I LOVED IT 5*+, would love to see more, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30476: not bad, needs work, i mean just colours? (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30475: 7/10, nice one (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30470: Lovely straightforward one thx 10/10 for both if us :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30471: 5/10- just 1 second short of 10/10, lovely grid, smashing red herrings. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mary Hinge @ #15946: I scored 10/10. I shouldn't have though... My answer to the 'Gnome' category was a complete random guess and in no way resembled the correct answer but I still got the points (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30464: Challenging but fair. Well done. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30463: BRILLIANT!!! absolutely loved this one, more like this please 10/10 after a few restarts ;) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Aye-aye @ #30458: The best kind of infuriating. Thank you! Tehee (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gandolf @ #30461: One of these groups, as well as being just a bit minging, includes a word that isn't a word. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Merm @ #30386: 10/10 in 30 seconds. Too easy with no red herrings that I could see? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sis @ #22365: What is a cat cafe? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Caroline @ #4444: I'm ashamed I got this one :D (4 years, 4 months ago)

Caroline @ #2349: The first grid I got with no problem - my childhood knowledge is impeccable! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #30410: Only got the supermarkets - really challenging! (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30427: why have you posted this twice? same as #30425 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Teletobi @ #30429: Sorry to say, but you should review the number groups, both are not correct (wound spoil anything so just the hints: a wrong group description and one wrong item in the other group) (4 years, 4 months ago)

одиннадцать @ #30393: think everyone might be being a bit tough - no more specialist than a lot of puzzgrids and only fair to assume that us lot would play dungeons and dragons. VCM certainly would good grid! (4 years, 4 months ago)

galdone @ #30411: Volumes or measures of volume should also be accepted -otherwise great grid! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #30403: Intelligent, varied grid, well done ! (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30388: 6/10, good grid would not accept synonym. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30387: 6/10, just put never, but you right should have been more specific, and nice switch of genres. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30386: 10/10 nice simple grid, feeling good, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30384: 3/10 thought it was going to be easy but good use of false leads, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

robbie @ #30386: 7/10 - good grid! I only missed the SATC connection reason. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #30366: NormaN, not Norma. (4 years, 4 months ago)

selman @ #25921: Wow so cruel. using foxtrot and tango as dances, but still asking about the phonetic alphabet. loved this one. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30391: Brilliant, worked hard for a 3/10 Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sooty @ #30374: ????? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jobie @ #30389: I really liked it! Good red herrings in there. Hard, but definitely fun. I got 3/10 but I really enjoyed it. Thanks! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nikki Strutt @ #30327: This is my first attempt, and I'm very impressed! It was difficult, but loved the variety. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30380: Another cracker, very good. Didn't get the Azure link. When you used three BLUES in the clue, I couldn't get music genres out of my head. :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bobby Tables @ #186: Anyone wondering what a fly half is - its a position in rugby. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30387: Maybe allow "Never gonna" and "US car manufacturers"? Good grid though, thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #27297: Great grid! My sister and I loved it :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Horatio @ #30380: Nice grid Soozy, way too hard for me but great fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Nat @ #30384: Loved it (4 years, 4 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #30357: @higilo. It was a bit mean, but in fairness I don't live near them either! (4 years, 4 months ago)

samthidny @ #30381: SORRY - I added "Food" twice (4 years, 4 months ago)

BigBarry @ #30367: Really clever! The quartermaster is called Q in James Bond, BinDipper, so I assume that's what mattt was referring to. (4 years, 4 months ago)

BigBarry @ #30376: Really nice board - the Physics degree's finally come in handy! (4 years, 4 months ago)

ernst blofeld-finger @ #29064: simply superb grid..MOT (4 years, 4 months ago)

Angus Bell @ #19275: (4 years, 4 months ago)

Malc @ #30380: Great fun - would need a lot more time to work it out. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30380: Yeah, I was nit-picking. On the max characters, if you hit the limit it won't let you type any more, so if you can enter it, it's fine. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Angus Bell @ #14042: (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30379: As the others have said, have another go at it Haloc. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27560: Even when the answers are explained, I'm still scratching my head. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30380: Kico, I take your point but I'm not quite sure of the max characters allowed in one box, so my clues are a succinct as possible. Others do ones like this and I love trying to solve them and always take a screen shot to work them out, it's not always about doing it in 3 mins to me, it's about having fun x (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #1110: Nice :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30374: Aaaaah ! Basil got me...Great grid Thanks for posting (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30380: I love the concept. I should have taken a screenshot rather than try to do it in 3 minutes, because I was close with three of the groups but hadn't quite got there on any of them. When each tile is a crossword clue, I think "Carry flip side" is a bit too hard, and "Drummer Phil" too inaccurate ("Drummer Phil's band" would work), but I'm nit-picking now. I love the grid! (4 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #30377: Thought the Johnson was LBJ, but fortunately it was still correct, for the same reason. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30274: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Paulie @ #30380: Was determined to crack this, got there in the end (with a few restarts) Great grid to get you thinking. cheers (4 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #30380: Got Motorhead's drummer lodged in my head and kept trying to make the rest fit around that, which didn't help. Fiendish, but fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30377: Very clever, much too hard for me. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30379: No point in even attempting this with the repeated words. Would be possible to make a good grid from this idea were it not for that. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30380: This is hard bordering on fiendish, I'd say. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30358: Nice grid. Enjoyed it. Rare that I get 10/10 when films are involved! On the Greenland controversy, in terms of physical geography it is very much a North American island. Politically it's an autonomous territory of Denmark, which creates the Europe associations. No complaints from me though - I'd be more likely to question the word "country"! (4 years, 4 months ago)

BinDipper @ #30367: I'll have to disagree with the other feedback here Matt. The group of "describes words" - no, not for me. And Quebec and Quartermaster? QM is the general abbreviation for Quartermaster (4 years, 4 months ago)

BinDipper @ #30378: Awww come on. Removing letters but from both ends of the words? Nah, not cricket. And it's I Spy (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bo @ #20401: Easy fun (4 years, 4 months ago)

BinDipper @ #30379: 2 Charlies, 2 Mikes. You can't have a unique solution unless they're all in the same group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bo @ #21382: This was not bad (4 years, 4 months ago)

Bo @ #21451: Ehh quiz is not a top 250 (4 years, 4 months ago)

helen @ #30359: the cursed category might be my favorite ever! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Paulie @ #30331: good grid cheers (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30374: Nice red herrings :D (4 years, 4 months ago)

Paulie @ #30336: Should have been a full house for me too, john not given. But good grid cheers (4 years, 4 months ago)

Paulie @ #30340: I got points for presidents but not able or nato. Good grid only 5/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Paulie @ #30375: There were a couple of simple solutions to a couple of the groups which were not of your thinking. Gave it a go but only 2/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30360: 10/10 nearly drove me nuts chasing the dry group!! but had fun ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30363: Great bit of fun got 6/10 but only because I didn't get the link wording correct. Thx for posting. Bloss is correct btw higilo, to be unique maybe the red herring should have been pluto because that wouldn't go in the Hermes group. But hey ho it's only suppose to be a bit of fun. (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30365: 6/10 had fun trying, still giggling at the cormorant poo whatever that is :)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30366: 1/10, didn't get any groups...lol...and only managed the obvious link, well thought out but I would have to put this one in my fiendish pile. Thanks for posting, enjoyed having a go (or 2 or 3 or 4 :)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30367: 7/10 (but not in 3mins) Loved this one Mattt, really thoughtful, well done you ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30363: Nice one but trees aren’t creatures (4 years, 4 months ago)

higilo @ #30357: one category is horrible haha, three very specific town names that you only know if you live close to them. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30363: organisms? (more specific than living creatures) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #30353: Nice grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

higilo @ #30363: yeah I wrote 'ground' and it didn't count. I disagree with bloss, it doesn't matter if one can be swapped - thats half of the game (4 years, 4 months ago)

Colmac @ #30360: This was a really fun grid. Very enjoyable and satisfying. Thanks a lot. (4 years, 4 months ago)

higilo @ #30365: I like the Helios category, missed out on a couple bc of language issues (I'm from different country) but overall this was good (4 years, 4 months ago)

christo @ #30363: Got the groups but struggled with the connections, put 'ground coverings' and 'life forms' (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30365: This grid is designed to make sense to anyone, but it is dedicated to fans of John Finnemore (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #30358: Was North American countries mislabeled? (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #30363: Fun groups, but Jupiter can be swapped with Mars etc. so there's not a unique solution? (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jahn @ #30289: Superb (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #5344: Nice grid; good crossovers; nice groups (though I always find anagrams a bit of a cheat) (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #24495: Nice one, lorna! Quite easy (for you) once I'd picked up the theme. Not actually heard of any of the o's though! I should have known the Jabberwocky! You might have included "Ring"... (4 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #30353: Oh dear. Messed it up. I really thought the headline was BINGO. Rats! (4 years, 4 months ago)

croik @ #30327: P.C doesn't precede "player" (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30360: Good grid, got all but the den row. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

skinnyliz @ #30230: Good one, enjoyed it, thanks! (4 years, 4 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #30360: Got the groups in under a minute, was never going to get the Henry connection though! 7/10, nice work! (4 years, 4 months ago)

LittleQuill @ #30336: Nice, but your options for accepted answers are far too specific. Need to provide options. Definitely got 10, but three weren't accepted. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30353: 3/10- confused with the same line (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30352: Loved that one, Strummer. Finished it with 0:01 on the clock. By coincidence, the Arabicus link is one I've been thinking of using myself. Would have had Smile in mine, though, because I can't stand the Rain (against my windooow...) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Joe Strumme @ #30352: Thanks, good shout - I've updated that whole connection now. (4 years, 4 months ago)

DC @ #30353: Struggling to see the connection to the Belgrano- the headline was "Gotcha" not bingo. (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30286: Home Alone connection was genius! (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30326: thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #29692: Easy to solve, hard to get some of the connections. I put "endangered species" for the wildlife which they soon will be (some are already) if people go on promoting hunting! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #17624: Brilliant! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #4165: Lovely! (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30299: Top Wall 👌 (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #8355: Excellent! (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30301: 7/10 Really enjoyed that, excellent groupings (4 years, 4 months ago)

poor quizzer @ #15791: Good grid. I don't get 10/10 on hard often (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #9875: Enjoyed! (4 years, 4 months ago)

poor quizzer @ #24193: California Cities Sans san is used too much (4 years, 4 months ago)

WhoIsDefier @ #30003: 'Defier'? explain to me Lucy (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #583: Excellent! (4 years, 4 months ago)

poor quizzer @ #10389: This is just so unoriginal. US presidents, car makes are in so many grids. I've seen the ball category a lot too with all those words. Maybe this was one of the first grids with these categories and I've played them in reverse order, but with so many possible categories, we shouldn't be seeing repeats ate the rate we do. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #10577: Superb! (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30329: Agree about superheroes - 'wolf' isn't even there. Otherwise great wall thanks! (4 years, 4 months ago)

bob @ #30346: greggs is too obscure (4 years, 4 months ago)

bob @ #30352: a nail isn't a tool (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30322: 7/10, got everything except the parts of tree. Some excellent red herrings in there! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #30321: Excellent intelligent rows except for the Liverpool players! (4 years, 4 months ago)

JS @ #30341: I was able to get light and chocolates, and then I was completely lucky with the last two (didn't get the connections though!) - Great stuff thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30348: scored 10/10 first max for ages. took a punt on the LI group. very happy, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Riam @ #5743: 4 unrelated films is too vague (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maggot @ #30303: Second 10 of the evening! Very nice wall! (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30347: fiendish, but I think a little too dependant on soccer, thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Maggot @ #30211: 10/10 loved this! (4 years, 4 months ago)

DC @ #30344: 10/10, although was lucky with the allowed words for the spaceships- didn't realise they were all from red dwarf (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30346: scored 3/10 - cringed with doctor link, is greggs spelled with an extra 'g'? and therefore could be replaced with johns or willies as in masculine names? (4 years, 4 months ago)

DC @ #30348: Enjoyed this one! 6/10. Couldn't sort between the final two, had guessed LB, JF and FD but US evaded me. All made sense once they had grouped up though! (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30345: scored 2/10 not bad - HP viable but really overused. princess line needs revision I think inc spelling. Good grid and thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

DC @ #30346: Mobile being a pre and suffix makes it very hard to guess and not in a good way. Also, according to the greggs website there is only one greggs inside a hospital, not 'plenty', making this answer incredibly niche (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30344: scored 4/10, pretty good (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30342: 6/10 - Tony? but nice red herrings thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Parker @ #30342: Brilliant! I loved it, it got me thinking!! 😄 (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30341: exactly the same as freddgar in all respects and I venture we got the ame group and link. thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30339: scored 7/10 nice clean straight forward grid and yes you need to revise as able(y) said. Thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Vincent @ #30326: Earl is a bit tenuous, given the rest of the group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30336: Scored 4/10, same comment as NW3, also felines not my specialty. That said, thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30330: Only scored 3/10 but was satisfying. Thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

bloss @ #30318: fun but too hard for me! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Vincent @ #30330: Clever, liked it a lot. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ewan @ #30075: Too hard!! Xxx (4 years, 4 months ago)

D @ #30340: US presidents not accepted either (4 years, 4 months ago)

Vincent @ #30333: I literally wrote 'tiger' and it was marked incorrect. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jo @ #30322: Neat! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Paulito @ #30329: Statistical terms should be the correct answer (range is not average) Superheroes is an acceptable connection. Animal names doesn't even mentioned that they are superheroes. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Chuckies @ #30342: Fab grid! Tricksy indeed :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

NW3 @ #30329: "Range" is not a way of saying average (4 years, 4 months ago)

NW3 @ #30327: What is a "P.C. Player"? And "ss" as a link is rather tenous. Not a great wall (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30341: Very good, managed all of 2/10 !! One of those I just couldn't get to grips with. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30340: Agree with NW3, small point but worth a mention. Nice grid, thanks for posting. (4 years, 4 months ago)

NW3 @ #30336: Answering 'john' for the famous johns line does not give you the point (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mark @ #26110: Should be Romerop (4 years, 4 months ago)

NW3 @ #30340: Answering 'able' for the suffix group doesn't give you the points. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sam12939 @ #30340: Very good grid quite tricky, good quality (4 years, 4 months ago)

NOICE @ #30231: Very enjoyable. Cool palindromes (4 years, 4 months ago)

OK @ #30239: OK (4 years, 4 months ago)

LargeBarry @ #30330: Really nice categories, good work! (4 years, 4 months ago)

ABLE @ #30339: Good grid. Unfortunately it seems you were unable to make able an acceptable answer. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Sourdough Sal @ #27422: Very clever (4 years, 4 months ago)

John7272882 @ #29897: Brilliant quiz whoever designed it is brilliant NHS we want more Li and Bering tripped me up (4 years, 4 months ago)

Carla Turner @ #29678: This is great to do (4 years, 4 months ago)

Lisa May @ #29678: (4 years, 4 months ago)

Diane @ #30069: Good grid - managed the groups but didn't get the jets. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30329: (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #30331: Very enjoyable but difficult. I really should have got the books! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dean @ #30329: Agree about Range. School level math, range is taught as a type of average, even if a weak one. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Dean @ #30327: Sorry my quiz. Made for some friends in mind. P.C is a little weak, however listen to a lot of streamers and they term pc players is banded about quite a bit. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Diane @ #30330: Too clever for me. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jericho @ #30318: 7/10 for me. 10/10 for you. Hats off, soozy. So many devious clues! I think Double-kisser was my favourite. Kicking myself for not working out the Call Me line in time, mind. Aargh! (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30329: I got 5/10. I got the Range and Wolverine groups, and guessed the description for the Assemble group. Nice ideas. The descriptions could be tightened up: e.g. Range is not a "name for saying average", but it works as a group because it's a statistical property of a dataset like the others. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30328: 3/10 OK :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Diane @ #30216: Good grid but completely flummoxed me. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30327: 6/10 not accept arnie and I'm sorry but P.C? poor otherwise not bad thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #30310: Excellent (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30326: 3/10 - knew 2 group links but got groups by accident rather than knowledge. OK grid thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

Diane @ #30230: got the groups but completely missed the month group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Diane @ #30231: Excellent grid. 10/10 (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30325: 7/10 - very happy with that thank you (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30324: 1/10 - you gotta know your TV for this. I was close to two but not close enough. thanks (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30322: 3/10 good grid, if I knew what nudibranch was I would have pronounced it 'brank', as I didn't, I didn't! and I didn't get the linch. Thank you :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30327: @freddgar that's because it is spelt stationEry Violet Elizabeth :-)) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #29676: Nice! (4 years, 4 months ago)

freddgar @ #30327: Stationary items not accepted...??? Waaaah, I'll Thcweem and Thcweem and Thcweem untill... Good grid though, thanks for posting :-) (4 years, 4 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #30322: @Gagalady - thanks, I will amend... (give yourself the point!) (4 years, 4 months ago)

Jackie @ #30306: Didn't accept Rain Man - wanted Rainman! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Savage @ #30310: Good grid Aquizulis (4 years, 4 months ago)

Savage @ #30303: Did you mean babble? (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #9646: Do I care about the Beckham kids? Yes, I know they've been here before; I still don't recognise them. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Gagalady @ #30322: Didn't accept 'snacks'. :( (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ange @ #30297: Lei, bi, tow, ciren are all soundalikes or other words too (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30318: 1/10 - tried it in one go. lovely red herrings (if meant or just way I think e.g. tie, leader etc) thanks again. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30296: 5/10 for me; I could see three of the groups but couldn't narrow it down enough to put them together at the end! Good wall. (4 years, 4 months ago)

eurydice @ #281: Nicely done; good varied groups (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30295: As much as I enjoyed this, the Lap/Amp/Rack group could be completed by any of Rush/Hart/Law. Unfortunately, as a result, there is not a single, unique solution. But there are some good ideas here. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30315: 7/10 sames as re: jaws etc. missed some of your red herrings thankfully for me. ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30315: 7/10 bruce group foxed us but enjoyed trying ty (4 years, 4 months ago)

helen @ #30311: (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tim D @ #30256: Fun, but using the same trick for each group reduces the number of tricky connections to be made (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30311: 2/10 - very first time I restarted the grid (5 times) and only found 5 squares. Muhammed? I had ES and MU so came up with EMUS easy and wrong. Loved it, was tempted to take a pic and savour it.. Thanks Soozy (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30315: 5/10 for me - I just didn't follow the logic of the Jaws group at all - but an enjoyable wall to play. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30310: Clever grid - just at the right level for me, 10/10 - enjoyed this (4 years, 4 months ago)

helen @ #30301: good grid, lucked into programming category. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Tim D @ #30289: Nice. I liked the connection connection. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #30310: Thanks Soozy :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30306: sorry kp, hope you took the point anyway. (4 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #30302: my score 0/10, when I was shown answers for the miracle group, I didn't want to continue. Must be an age thing, but too niche I think. thanks anyway (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30310: Good brain work out 7/10 so pleased with that on one of yours aqui. Keep 'em coming please :) (4 years, 4 months ago)

soozy @ #30292: Stang group got me I thought they were anagrams :) which of course they are but it wasn't the link you intended,and then I got lazy and put the shortened version for sun group. Great grid, fun to play ty They used to allow you to submit your email and puzzgrid would send to a link in order to edit but they seem to have stopped this now. (4 years, 4 months ago)

j @ #30288: good (4 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #30292: I was on the right lines for the the Guardian group, but never heard of Vicky! Got the Stang group first! (4 years, 4 months ago)

Steve @ #30282: I really enjoyed this wall, lots of red herrings, but there is an extra E on one answer which serves to eliminate it from its group. (4 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #30261: Good grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Mayo @ #29463: Not enough mayonnaise (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #29636: I thought the animals groups were genius. A lot of work must have gone into that! The Stevie Wonder group required knowledge that I'd guess very few people have. (4 years, 4 months ago)

kico @ #30275: Nice grid. Scored 6/10 - I saw the tiger but I must have mis-typed the connection. The India group is a very good idea that didn't quite work for my taste, because there are less specific things that connect them all (e.g. they're all countries). Maybe you could find something that has a circle in its emblem, but is not a country? Or alternatively include several countries without a circle in their flag (Greenland does have one) in the grid to make it clear that you're looking for something more specific?

tough critic @ #29636: think the stevie wonder group is a little tenuous, to say the least. and would've liked to have seen different animals, but really I'm just bored of coronavirus and being extra critical! a pretty great grid (4 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #30289: Very clever, very very good... (4 years, 4 months ago)

Greenood @ #30288: Nice wall but tough! 😂 I only got two groups (4 years, 4 months ago)

Colmac @ #30189: Thanks. Great grid. Love the commentators. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #30196: I thought I knew cricket but that is beyond fiendish! Too many possible connections between a very similar set of clues. Very clever but I’d be surprised if anyone could get that grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #30205: I didn’t know many of these answers, maybe they are more common connections than I realised. I learnt something new with the Ohio group. Like the idea of the grid but I prefer tighter definitions, and independent is misspelt :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Andy @ #30195: For me a nice mix of subjects (4 years, 5 months ago)

Pedantic @ #30135: Nice grid, but rat catcher isn’t good (4 years, 5 months ago)

I.Newman @ #30149: Have amended. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Fenton! @ #30207: I gave the last category -- Sovengarde/Kings Cross Station/The Heavy Side Layer/Ricky Gervais -- and it didn't accept 'things I don't find funny'. I find that odd considering it's clearly the only acceptable answer. Regardless, I gave myself the point like the message in green has told me to do, so I'm glad we're all in agreement, I guess...

j @ #30179: containers? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #30144: If you're going to have a group where the spelling is the issue, it is important to make sure the spellings of the rest are correct. The herb is spelled orEgano, on both sides of the pond, and the city (not capital) in Texas is HOuston. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30129: re-worked earlier grid? (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30122: 0/10 - it looked really interesting to start with - but - sorry no (4 years, 5 months ago)

Colmac @ #30145: Hi Soozy. Great grid. I think you’ve spelled Fruit wrong in the answers as it didn’t give it. Doesn’t matter to me 😉 but will wind a few people up! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30144: Oh poop!!! I always manage to make at least one clanger!! Sorry about Huston/Austin peeps, just take to point if it stopped you getting one :( (4 years, 5 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #30144: Interesting grid. Was fun piecing it together (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30116: If a 'crab' is a standard unit what is an exceptional unit? and ordering pizza?. It would help us mere mortals if you put in an explanation with your answers. thank you 1/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Colmac @ #30144: Brilliant idea and great fun to solve. Thanks a lot. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #30144: Love the slight twist in the links Very clever. Always a good sign when you find yourself reading a grid out loud over and over trying to catch a break. Marks lost for some dodgy spelling, though. ;) Austin not Huston btw. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Colmac @ #30120: Another great grid from one of my favourite setters on here! (4 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #30135: Great two-tier connections. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jeff @ #30102: I don't like the box category. I think they should either all be words that go after (cutter, car) or words that go before (cardboard, mail) but not a combination of the two. I've never seen Only Connect do that. (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #30130: 1/10 dont understand but still try! (4 years, 5 months ago)

simons @ #30120: Fun to do (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30108: I think the intention here is to prove how much cleverer BBRH is than anyone else. It is supposed to be 3 mins of fun, not studying for a Post Masters Degree. Save your time don't bother with this grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

simons @ #30122: Too many ringers and a fairly obscure knowledge of release dates required (4 years, 5 months ago)

mcb @ #22132: Feeble connections (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30103: That was tough/fiendish. Slightly harder than it need be. Your grid, your choice but I think you could mellow it a little (only my opinion) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30053: Bit above my pay grade but had a go ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30077: paul, as mrdarcey said but it's the box with good in it and click the poor word. As he said some people just seem to give a low star rating, probably because they didn't score a perfect 10 and are just being mean spirited (4 years, 5 months ago)

mrdarcey @ #30077: @paul - what name do you post grids under? (I've never seen a paul one) At the top there are options click the ALL one and see if it's been put in the poor pile, this happens to a lot of people when nasty folk give them a poor star rating as the are averaged out. (4 years, 5 months ago)

mrdarcey @ #30085: Enjoyed this one thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

mrdarcey @ #30082: 10/10 Good grid thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30077: paul - you can email them at info@puzzgrid.com Just went to check on comments for this one and it was in the 'poor' pile!!! how can that be fair when the comments are good? Some people must just hit the lower star ratings for spite, really naffs me off!! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Paulie @ #30077: 10/10 nice and straightforward, my kinda grid cheers (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30045: 3/10 would never have got it having now seen the reveal but it was fun having a shot. Jericho, there are films/tv shows called black lizard and scorpion maybe that is what gaffer was referring to? (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30047: Jeez that had me seeing double but not the right 4!! Tough grid and a little taxing but well compiled ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #30048: 10/10 got a bit lucky with guessing the links and a bit bogged down with chasing printer makers!!!...lol (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30068: @bloss - and to be fair 4 of the 50 are "commonwealths", just playing devils advocate. :-)) (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #8806: I like a theme, but the "lumbar region" is the "small of the back", not just "small", so I don't think this is valid. You don't say "I've hurt my small"! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30071: 2/10 can I say 'fiendish'? - Yes I can! Maybe slightly age related, but thank you. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jack @ #30047: You know you can get double cream and double glazed so the double category wasn't really specific enough. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jack @ #30066: Amherst was an operation rather than a battle in WW2 and there were Battles in Dunkirk and Amsterdam, so WW2 battles isn't really specific enough for a category. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #30044: 3/10 - I translated into Serbo-Croat first then back to Welsh. No wonder I was no good. Seriously though well done I really enjoyed that Obrigado (4 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #30028: @Me,@Chris,@Jackie - quiz amended (4 years, 5 months ago)

Yeehaw @ #30060: Shocked I got 10/10. Difficult enough categories on their own, but not a lot of red herrings, aside from two categories being entirely women's names. (4 years, 5 months ago)

stjohn @ #30034: @cynic, you is quite right. mine was the directors cut? (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #30044: 7/10 Muito bom, obrigado por postar Google translate knows loads 😉 (4 years, 5 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #30038: Thanks for the lovely comments. I will do more - but it's a bit of a work up so might be weekly rather than daily! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Buzzwig @ #573: Proof that grids don't have to be hard to be fun and interesting. I get bored with people praising grids just because they are hard. (4 years, 5 months ago)

gaffer @ #30042: enjoyable grid. snooker fits your color group (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #30045: Loved that one. Wolfman was what gave me that line. The Vulture group also hit the target for me. Excellent work! Btw, Gaffer, there is no species called Black lizard or Black scorpion, so that wouldn't quite work. (4 years, 5 months ago)

gaffer @ #30045: Good grid, only just got it. Can I just point out that black works for the vulture, scorpion group as well (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #30053: Gay (4 years, 5 months ago)

ZBJ @ #30038: Never seen one like that before and really good groups. Well done! :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #30013: I think ideally you should have a chance of working out at least a couple of groups even if you're not familiar with the connections. Not possible with this grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

abc @ #30037: That isn't the name of Famous Five members.... Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the Dog. (4 years, 5 months ago)

I seem to have an annoying blind-spot for hidden words... Thanks for a tough (but eventually doable) puzzle. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Rick @ #29996: Jollycorpse... welcome back! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #29989: NIce one soozy. Walked straight through that one, but possibly because I have one of the channels on in the background. :D (4 years, 5 months ago)

k-lo @ #29957: A1 had me flumped! good grid! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29990: @ Soozy, thanks, I am trying to get a balance, seams my first attempt was 'too' oh so 'too' niche - Paul (4 years, 5 months ago)

Paulie @ #29989: 10/10 had to think about the crime group link but got it!! cheers! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29989: 5/10 good grid as always, did not get the Atlantic group as only have a wind up wireless lol. thanks Soozy (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29990: Like an easy one now and again, gives the old grey matter a let off!! Thanks for posting one that the kids can have a go at (4 years, 5 months ago)

jo @ #29992: oof that was tough at the start! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29986: 4/10 smashing grid. The air was blue when I revealed arrrgh Adams. Thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29991: Nice to see easier ones on here that the kids an have a go at ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29984: 6/10, things for me to learn here madagascar? who knew (well you did obs) and podgorica - new one on me. thanks for the education (4 years, 5 months ago)

Paulie @ #29987: Chasing those darn red herrings but got there in the end 10/10 good grid cheers! (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #29983: A couple of very specialist groups in there (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #29987: Tough grid! 3/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29984: GY, I guess you didn't get 10/10 then? no need to be quite so rude with your 'pretty poor' comment. My bad for misspelling capitals but as for Lima, it wasn't even in the capitals group, it was a red herring, it went in the bean group! Just try to be a little kinder with you critique, comments like yours could put people off submitting grids and then there would be no games to play. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29984: 10/10, Bit of fun, I knew you really meant Sydney HARBOUR, not rocket science to guess it, given the other clues ;-) Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #29984: This is pretty poor - Sydney Harbour Bridge, no such thing as Sydney Bridge. Your explanation misspells 'capitals' as capitols. Lima is in the grid and the clue. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29986: 10/10 maybe medium rather than easy. ty for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #29984: Fun groups. Sydney Harbour Bridge, though. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #29980: Definitely fiendish. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #29983: This is just ridiculously niche. If there was a category beyond fiendish, it should be that. (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29982: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29960: 4/10 hansom group I guessed cab. Good grid with great range ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29963: Papillon group foxed me but had fun trying ty 7/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Spanner @ #29982: CorenM you might well be right - my first time submitting and I confess I didn’t think about a unique solution. I’ll watch out for that in future. Thanks for the heads up. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #29899: Terrible grid. Two of the groups are either impossible or just make no sense. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tam @ #29884: Loved it! (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29891: happy 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #17728: One of my rare 10/10s. Thank you! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #29900: I liked the idea, but it is a bit loose. RIO is a role - the others are ranks. They do not form a group. FAM? Really? Bud, cuz, pal are all used, but has anyone ever said FAM? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ines @ #8815: A pole and an antipode are not synonymes. South and North poles are antipodes, but so are Spain and New Zealand. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29886: Great grid ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29900: 5/10 most definitely fiendish especially RIO. Fine grid well done (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29895: lindy group got us but had fun trying ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #29899: Quite easy except the searcher group, which was tricky. Thanks for submitting :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29899: 4/10, four rows found but no points for 3 of the links I got. sasses line was very good and difficult, (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #29897: Nice easy access one, thanks. Best to check the spellings because I think you meant Darwin and Mediterranean. Still enjoyed it though :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29897: 10/10 nice straight forward grid, ty for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29897: *Nhs - I retract (b) as Li is not an SI unit, apologies (4 years, 5 months ago)

christo @ #29889: Clever - liked it. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29897: 10/10 although awarded only 6 due to accepted answers, pls amend if you will (a) 'black' group to accept singular (b) SI units, and (c) check spelling of Dawin. Otherwise a pretty fair grid but certainly not 'fiendish'. Thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29897: Solved the wall quickly, Li tripped me up (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29881: 5/10 but fun trying ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

nnnn @ #29871: great fun, great groups (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29882: I can usually get yours Jericho but not this time :) 6/10, the Henry and Sus groups foxed me and didn't even get the theme until I saw what Savage said. Very good grid as per x (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29885: As probably intended the Paul group threw me off for a moment, but got there in the end 10/10 Nice grid but not, for me, fiendish as the star rating stated (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #1818: Very satisfying! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29887: 10/10 yay me! Great grid thoughtful but not taxing ty. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Big Phil @ #29852: Put into the easy section is a bit ridiculous. The grid is decent but no way on a scale of easy to hard is this in the easy category (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29832: Once again I agree with paul...lol...but we did have fun trying to work the groups out but failed miserably, got 3 links though!! (4 years, 5 months ago)

NikkiT @ #1166: Nice. Got there in the end...bar one link.. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CSS @ #29835: TBF Gray is the colour but just the US spelling. If anyone's confused by the Bind group like Paul: "One Ring to RULE them all One ring to FIND them One Ring to BRING them all And in the darkness BIND them" It's the one ring poem from Lord of the Rings. Nice grid! Not a fan of "words with hidden words in them" but personal preference on that. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29835: not a bad grid, however I agree with Anne On and also I do not understand the link answer to the Bind group (4 years, 5 months ago)

NikkiT @ #8199: Surprise didn’ t work..but otherwise quite good (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29834: sorry, not very good. e.g. 'score points'?? weak (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29833: 1/10 so was hard, do not understand '16' and not sure of payments. Also 'arina' herb or Irish town? (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29832: 1 line, 1 link, think fiendish. wd (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29824: I enjoyed the grid, some clever red herrings. I also failed the Eragon link, maybe needs reworking :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

NikkiT @ #3712: Ahh, the final group...I couldn’t word the connection correctly! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29819: ok it's fiendish but only for the narrowness of the subject matter, too niche (4 years, 5 months ago)

NikkiT @ #29802: This one stumped me..only got 2 groups... (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29812: pretty good APART from glaring error re john paul l, you will have to amend. (4 years, 5 months ago)

NikkiT @ #186: Ah...I put another ending...all of which are correct..but not the one for this grid! (4 years, 5 months ago)

NikkiT @ #12552: Not into the movies so didn’t get that group (4 years, 5 months ago)

Leanne @ #29830: Really enjoyed that grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Leanne @ #29833: This was quite difficult made even harder by the fact that there are 2 incorrect answers on the Pokemon part.

Oscar @ #29824: "Book" should be the correct answer for the Eragon, Divergent etc. clues. (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #27748: I usually love your grids Lorna, but couldn't get into this one and got my first ever zero!

Sorry some got a hit over emotional about a quiz, but glad to see your note of defiance - looking forward to your next grids. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ade @ #29777: 10/10 but must have been after Iver was changed. Enjoyed the grid. Thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #29786: Ballbag? Scrotally unexpected. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29811: Satisfying (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29730: 6/10 only 2 lines found, very well constructed - excellent (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29738: I'll take 6/10 on a fiendish one, friends group foxed me, I just put tv shows, which though right wasn't your link, and I should have got the copperfield one I just David in my head and that was that!! Great grid ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29731: wd lots of red herrings, had me befuddled (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29738: A good grid and I suppose it is only 'fiendish' because of the friends. Accurate but.... wd (4 years, 5 months ago)

mingsy_sar @ #27226: Mercury spelled wrong (4 years, 5 months ago)

G-man @ #29712: Good grid, except the hobbit actor was wrong - the actor playing the fourth hobbit was Sean Austin, not Sam. Sam(wise) was the name of the character. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29709: Good grid, but the not row was too obscure for me Maybe the nand row is for others, depends on one's background Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

Expatade @ #29698: Made up 4 set. More attention to detail needed. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29712: Good grid. Got all except the Elija row Never read any of it Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29724: Nice grid, the monument row was a bit too specific for me. 5/10 :-( Thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

helen @ #29718: if you don't put in variations on answers (jacket not jackets? double not Double? wth) you get a one star. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29640: Whoop... 10/10 and required some thinking. Good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29698: Too easy. Got all the lines in 20 seconds - my only downfall is not knowing what the “yellowbelly” group was. Didn’t seem to be any red herrings to make this challenging :/ (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29718: Too easy to be considered medium?? Got all the lines in 20 seconds and even then it wouldn’t accept ‘Jacket’ and so on :/ (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29721: true but good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29707: Wouldn't say phlox was a shade of purple; tried to get that group Last line a bit niche - have never heard of those books, so could never have got that line As advertised, fiendish! (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29723: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29714: Why did I not get a mark for half of detective pairs and concealed names of relatives?? Nice easy grid, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29715: I found some of these links a bit obscure, ? just me eg X-Scissor?, Candytopia? Teahouse? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29716: You'd have to be familiar with Massachusetts, I guess (I'm not from US!) Thanks for grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29717: Awfully similar to 29718!! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29718: Don't understand - entered jacket group, didn't get point, entered jacket, didn't get point!. Pulling a carriage group overdone, they're just animals. Still enjoyed grid, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29719: Hard grid. Only got 1, for 'fields'. Enjoyed trying though, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29673: Elmer bull? Ferdinand bull? (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #29703: quality grid. very tough, specialised knowledge required, not too sure about description of one of the words , maybe alter slightly? (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #29685: Nice ideas. Think tin and gold can be swapped with iron so no unique solution? Otherwise well constructed and needed good tactics to solve. Thanks :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #29682: 5*! Very clever. Ran out of time on the last two groups but I was nearly there. Nice grid, thanks :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Andrew Smith @ #28955: Thanks mate. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29687: The philosopher is called Hume, not Humes (or humes - capital letters would make this grid look much better). Numbers (or maths??) is a pretty weak category. (4 years, 5 months ago)

MK @ #29404: Seems more appropriate to post as a UK grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

misc @ #29695: Ah just noticed the database msg top left of the webpage (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29570: Nice neat, easy grid. 10/10, yay! (4 years, 5 months ago)

GG @ #29601: Great grid. Confused me at first, but eventually a couple of groups revealed themselves to me. I managed to work out an extra connection, and I'm embarrassed at the one I missed. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian Hughes @ #29390: Connecting reasons are overly pedantic. (4 years, 5 months ago)

ExpatAde @ #29546: The homonyms connection is very poor. The 4 animals also produce milk. Very lazy grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #27137: The Shining group is pretty pathetic, why make it a word clue rather than the actual thing they have in common? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #29503: Why do Brits leave comments on quizzes that are designated as "American" and complain about how they don't get the American references? "Skim milk" is American English. "Orange County" is a very famous county in California, home to Disneyland, and the setting of many TV shows ("The OC," "Real Housewives of Orange County," etc). (4 years, 5 months ago)

john @ #29546: This doesn't have just one solution. Buffalo, cow, sheep, horse, and bear are all both animals and homonyms, so you could swap any of these between the two categories. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Rach @ #29530: Enjoyed this one, the composer anagrams were particularly clever! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #29167: Sorry, but if I changed it to "African Animals" then both cheetah and leopard could be in both that category and the print category. So I have to keep it how it is. :/ (4 years, 5 months ago)

Paid Bot #345 @ #18567: I hate when all the categories are meaning-based rather than "contains no letter A" or other orthographical quirks. I probably wouldn't have realized "Patrick" was Patrick Starr even without the Twitter clue that the puzzle was "Spongebob-y", and once I lost that, everything fell out of place pretty quickly.

GYIYG @ #29503: I'm not pleased with "run fast", the others in that group seem okay to me. Maybe "slim" instead. Not up on my Spanish so no hope on that one. Okay enough. (4 years, 5 months ago)

GYIYG @ #29434: It didn't like my answering of "shellfish" for the crustaceans. Easy enough anyhow! (4 years, 5 months ago)

JackBauer @ #29549: Meowmeowmeow (4 years, 5 months ago)

GYIYG @ #29429: It didn't like that i just put "numbers" for the homophones of numbers, unless I simply typoed it or something. I don't know. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29510: Managed to confuse me, no lines though looked for right links, 4/4 for links! Thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29516: Too much overlap, eg Hg also has different letters. Never heard of Tein or Wolf Ram as car manufacturers, plus mini is a model not a manufacturer, several others other than the third line are radioactive. Not my favourite grid, but enjoyed trying, and thank you for submitting it (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mo @ #29530: (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginnymay @ #29503: Sorry, not my favourite grid Runfast and thinkfast are a bit contrived Spanish verbs are a bit specialised , for UK person anyway, maybe commoner in US. Milk line, OK.

soozy @ #29488: 6/10 crash group got me! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny @ #29524: I found this hard. Didn't get any lines. "Correct" answers I gave weren't really; I said football terms for "Take a" and "sneak" for "catch a" just to move on and got marked right . Still, good to be challenged! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gamma @ #28818: Make sure to use the "lowest common denominator," as in mushroom over mushrooms. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gamma @ #28812: A bit harder than medium, but well done! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gamma @ #29054: I know Coldplay is actually one word...but including it as two should be acceptable? (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29429: quick 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gamma @ #29408: Well done! (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29430: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29365: Nice grid and original. Fluffed the wall completely, but got all the links, obvious when it's resolved. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Evangelos @ #8355: Didn't get the Beatles group but still really enjoyed it (4 years, 5 months ago)

PobbleBonk @ #29058: PobbleBonk enjoyed this especially the unifying theme of the ancient elements used across the four resulting groups. And, we achieved a *10* #Yay (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ant @ #29395: British bands preceded by "The" ? (4 years, 5 months ago)

GYIYG @ #29421: I saw through your Beatles ruse immediately, but I can't say I knew the other three categories well. I got the Starr/Grohl connection based on the fact they both went on to be solo artists and got the other two names because they were the only other full names on the list. Forgot they were also drummers. (4 years, 5 months ago)

GYIYG @ #29420: Capitalization! It's odd seeing a grid with no capitalized words, but I also understand it can be hard to break a habit such as never capitalizing. I mean, I don't normally do it when typing either. Otherwise, neat grid, got 10/10 on a guess about the Ocean's movies. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Factor @ #15482: 737 isn’t prime. 67*11 = 660 + 77 = 737. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29331: :( didn’t accept currencies for the currency line. Otherwise an enjoyable board (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29349: 10/10... super easy for me. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29369: Enjoyed this... although I could see what 3 of the groups were, I still didn’t manage to get the right combo selected. Enjoyably challenging . (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29395: 10/10... less than a minute for me. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JasonD @ #29413: Great grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #29417: Nice. Medium or easy perhaps rather than very easy (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29411: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #29410: Thanks for the honesty Jem- I had to sacrifice variety to the god of false groups. Letters have been done to death, yes, which is why I went for sentences with that one. This isn't my favourite but just a bit of fun :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29388: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #29001: Excellent! 5* also. Double red herring was inspired :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28985: lovely stuff good job :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #685: Should've been fiendish! (4 years, 5 months ago)

casey @ #29293: Well... he first became famous like 15 years ago and has been featured on multi-platinum records, so I would think he's pretty well known? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Rosie @ #29198: That was Great Fun!!!! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Steppo @ #29364: All of the same type (word contains) which is not so good. But I still didn't get them. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Steppo @ #8250: Fiddler on the Roof is pretty specific already, without the letter change at the beginning. Very obscure Also, 'film' should probably be an acceptable keyword (4 years, 5 months ago)

Steppo @ #29379: Tricky. Tin Tin indeed. (4 years, 5 months ago)

ECMA20 @ #29389: Thanks - I should have added an earlier comment to say it’s themed for my 10th wedding anniversary, hence specifically decathlon. Point taken though! (4 years, 5 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #29389: Nicely done, thanks. May need to expand your keywords though, I would’ve expected points for athletics events, elements, multiple meanings. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #29337: Just lovely (4 years, 5 months ago)

Evangelos @ #29379: @Dunkel thanks for pointing this out! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Sectioned Stove @ #29379: fiendishly difficult! Tin Tin isn't as common knowledge as you might wish Evangelos... Otherwise, well crafted (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #29348: Good grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #5977: This is quite an early grid, but I am so bored of phonetic alphabet, Beckham children, and for that matter Queen (band), royal titles, football teams etc etc. Shouldn't really bitch as I have never made a grid - maybe I will do now, but in the meantime can we all try and do a bit better! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Hannah Russell-Smith @ #29211: better (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #29320: @Drachir: it's 100% definitely Harrison. There are multiple hits on Google of that image, all identified as Harrison. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #29338: That was a good one! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Purple toadstool @ #18821: Very clever but not impossible. Well done! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #29344: The grid was very easy to solve, but you need to put a lot more thought into your connections: 'types of sweet' wouldn't accept 'sweets'. 'Pets' is tenuous, especially for chicken and fish. 'Types of material used for making things' is poor, and should have accepted 'wedding anniversary gifts'. 'Types of stones' is also a poor description, and definitely should have accepted 'rocks'. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28968: these are a fun idea but having to mes and tos means you have to try so many permutations of the same sentence to get it right- double entries make a grid non unique, unfortunately (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mushroom @ #44: Obviously "Anagram" was rejected. There's more than one!!!! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Fungi @ #16104: Jim, mate. That's kind of the point. Don't apologise, Silverman, it was a fantastic grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29339: Didn't solve, but great grid ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kez @ #29208: Nice grid. I would just say that I think the “tire” homophone would work better if you spelled it tyre in your answer, but that’s nit-picking as homophones can have the same spelling. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29279: amended Vincent (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28947: good :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kez @ #29290: Overall it’s a good grid. But you should capitalise all the clues (the site specifically asks you to do that) otherwise it can make it too easy to guess a category. I guessed one category purely based on capitalisation and worked it out later. Also, the words can precede King, not the other way around. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28941: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29192: Very good, nice mix. Guess who can't spell Stephen 😕 Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #29334: Problem you might have - with identical entries, people may stop playing it, thinking it’s non-unique. Flame answer requires a Beamon-like leap. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #2127: For the Liverpool one I put Beatles song. Still got 10/10 !! (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #18849: Very good, 6/10 Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #29208: Two groups pretty smart and a good challenge in the face of it. Not such a fan of the gere group, or the Adams group - those links were pretty disappointing when I got them. Decent overall. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #29331: Thanks, I liked it... (4 years, 5 months ago)

JasonD @ #29331: Good grid, got 2 but didn’t get the duos, thought they were all male groups. Thanks for submitting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

savetheclocktower @ #29144: Good one! I was certain that “played an alien” was a theme — D'Onofrio in _Men in Black_, Goldblum in _Earth Girls Are Easy_ — but struck out on finding others. (4 years, 5 months ago)

elliott @ #29320: usually terrible at photo grids, but this was a nice combination of things i knew. good red herrings. and for the record, Barry Nelson played Bond in an adaptation of Casino Royale for American television in the 1950s. He was the first actor to play Bond on film. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29279: Surely for the famous people you should either display all of their real names or all of their stage names, not two of each? (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28876: Some more constructive feedback if I may- this was conceptually lovely and your ideas made me smile- very difficult to get any play out of it- you'd have to make a few too many leaps to get there, I think, but keep coming up with ideas like these and just tweak the execution a wee bit and you will be one of the greats I'm sure! Hope this is helpful, thanks for all your grids :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #29264: Great innovation; thank you! Same feedback as others - the border doesn't have enough contrast with the picture to see clearly which squares you've selected. (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #29287: Nice looking puzzle but difficult to the point that any red herrings become irrelevant. I could only see one. Are there more? (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #29296: Hi Soozy. Good spin at trying something different but there are a few different solutions for it. eg. ream and read are interchangeable. And, yeah, affront. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Coy @ #29166: Didjeridu ode number and mcapartiin out are not great tiles - they have no actual meaning. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kezmicdust @ #29199: Mister Tom - not just arguably, you’re spot on. I’ve replaced Waikiki with Navagio (the famous Greek one with the shipwreck). Primrose - I’ve just gone and made it worse for obscurity. It’s really hard finding more famous beaches though. I tried to only pick ones I’d actually heard when looking up the most famous beaches in the world. I’ve been to Navagio Beach, so that might explain why I’d heard of it! (4 years, 5 months ago)

QuixQuiyQuiz @ #29195: I don't know what you've got as the keywords for the Femur etc. group, but 'Change the first letter to make an animal' came up as incorrect. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #29183: Love numbers, so loved this grid. Well done. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #29212: Blue balls ? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Peekay @ #29186: I enjoyed it...but yes, Caesium is named after the colour Blue, not Caesar...From Google:- The element's name comes from "caesius," a Latin word meaning "sky blue." (4 years, 5 months ago)

Colmac @ #29200: Solved it. Somehow. Very cleverly constructed grid. Just accessible enough. I think it helps if you’ve seen a few Lorna grids before... (4 years, 5 months ago)

Diane @ #29200: didn't stand a chance. Very clever but beyond me. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Diane @ #29210: Completely stumped me. Didn't get a single one! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Diane @ #29195: Thought this was a good grid even though I didn't get the wild animal category. Peeny - I think the whole point is to have crossovers to make it more interesting - hence the 5 bones and the 'funny' category are all synonyms of each other (mean the same thing). (4 years, 5 months ago)

peeny @ #10577: the red herrings (river bank, delta) take away from the game. (4 years, 5 months ago)

peeny @ #29195: I don't think you should have 5 bones on the board if one of the categories is "bones". Also having the word "funny" in a category titled "all words mean something funny" is a little ridiculous in my opinion. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kamran Taylor @ #29211: (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #29199: Arguably you could swap Waikiki and Copacabana (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #78: Very good generally but 4th category is rather weak. Also, what key word can you use to identify the link? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Donuts @ #29200: Lorna, I hate you :) That was brutal. But obvious once you got to the solutions. Bravo! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29210: Fiendish and very clever though have seen a similar one once, was that you too? Didn't work it out but had fun trying, and even when I saw the answers getting it worded your way may have been fun :)) well done for doing something a bit different to get the old grey matter going!

Kangaroodee @ #29202: Great grid - there are currently 2 Nevaehs in the school where I teach - specifically because it's heaven backwards which always seems less like the positive the parent intends it to be... (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29207: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #29190: If you want to do a fiendish, make it a proper puzzle, rather than resort to obscurity (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #29199: Nice one (4 years, 5 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #29181: @ all - I have edited to include keywords mentioned. The “craft” group was insufficiently covered. Re the “absolute” group, most of the time (including here) I also include “synonym” for convenience rather than listing a long list of related words. Thanks for playing. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28408: Excellent and original, straightforward when you spot the plan, still takes a bit of working out. Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29200: Sorry Lorna but I just didn't get it. Had to let down the time just to see the answers and wouldn't have had a clue how to write the link. Very clever but way above my pay grade. Well done you ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28789: I've seen other people suffer this- good red herrings go unnoticed because an easier solution presents itself- you only trip up the overthinkers! Again, good work :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28788: lovely double bluff -if you spot it! ;) Excellent work (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28786: nice (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28785: Well done, and well said! :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28784: I think you could entirely swap magic and rhino so not unique (rather than viable red herrings) sorry :( easily done with this sort of theme- good otherwise (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28782: a LOT of work went into that- you're a setter after my own heart- I did find it easy but that may be just because my brain works the same way? (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28775: Very nice (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28759: easy but really nice grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28743: oh, lovely! (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28744: very good, as usual (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28739: very clever and tricky (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #17376: Johnny. I agree, I'm 72 and even I got all the Johns. Guessed most of the rest, but hey ho, still got 10/10. Good grid, thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #27714: It breaks the rule that there should be only one possible solution, since Apple and Blackberry could be swapped and still be right. (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #23811: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28713: ha ha yes-still playing catch- up! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kez @ #29181: It’s a good grid, let down by incompleteness in the key words. I got the “water vessels” one but I wrote ships so it didn’t get counted. If you can edit it, add a few more key words for the complete and boat categories. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kez @ #29192: Ginny - if you’re questioning who Stephen Curry is - he is one of the best basketball players in the world right now. Certainly famous enough to include in a quiz. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kez @ #29194: I found it hard, but it’s a good wall. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Andrea @ #29194: Very cleverly done (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #23819: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #26145: "Things you pull" was a nice one. Good grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #23832: astral bodies (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29184: Guess those back references are American football? Pure guess, would have no idea what nickel back is, from outside US. Missed line but guessed connection Liked man line particularly (4 years, 5 months ago)

housemouse @ #29192: could someone tell me - what do the three animal pictures signify? what is special about the rabbit? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29195: Easy (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29194: Never heard of Catan, otherwise very good! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29186: Caesium Gold, not good medal. I didn't get a point for athletes! Good grid, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29191: Not pronouns, possessive was correct A bit niche, but thank you. Defeated me! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29182: Good grid, nice use of squash and cold (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29174: Enjoyed grid, quite hard but good groups (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #14766: Both the numbers and the har categories were very satisfying to get. :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #19597: Nice grid, only I wish "feelings" counted under the emotions category. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29190: Too many proper names, could have had several solutions. And what is lander? Not my favourite grid, I'm sorry, but thank you for providing it nevertheless (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29181: Good grid. Liked the boat one, though didn't get it. Got top line, but called them superlatives, which didn't get mark (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #29192: Stephen Curry? Got 3 reasons but no lines, poor show! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ginny May @ #583: Good grid, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Trev @ #29192: Got the group's quickly, took an age to get boat as the reason for my last reasons but did in the end (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28713: Are you catching up on missed puzzles Lorna? I'd forgotten all about this one. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29173: I'd agree - make it Loin rather than Loins (4 years, 5 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #29182: Sorry Nighteyes, I thought urbane could also mean courteous. (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #29186: It's a long time since I did chemistry and about 20 elements have been added since I did but which one is named after Caesar? (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #29190: Like a lot of grids with 16 names, not a unique solution I'm afraid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #29192: I got all the questions right and also got the rabbit (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29180: Easy if you spot the theme, but very good. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29181: Could do with adding more options for the connections. Total and boats were marked incorrect. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Vincent @ #29185: The usual spelling is 'whinge', so that's a confusing group. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jonboy @ #29183: very good, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

cb @ #29189: 10/10 in 18 seconds and I ain't the brightest...fiendish, methinks not. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Purple toadstool @ #19019: Sorry but this is rubbish. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28707: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28708: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28706: Brilliantly lateral and plenty of red herrings to keep it entertaining right to the end. Exemplary! (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28705: Nice to see a bit of Pratchett make a reappearance! :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28697: fun (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #29180: 5*, Great Wall! Spotted the theme on the second group and it was easy from there. Really good fun :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #29182: Whether sweet and agreeable are synonyms is a matter of opinion, but urbane certainly is not - look it up. It means sophisticated or cultured. Agreeable means easy to get on with. One can be agreeable without being sophisticated and one can be sophisticated without being agreeable. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tony Desmond @ #29179: A very poor grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28686: good work (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28678: Tricky and a bit different :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28680: Nice. Agree with the comments below- easy looking prefixes can turn round and bite your bum because they could swap for so many others. Good grid though, enjoyable (4 years, 5 months ago)

Matthew Burrough @ #29081: L Good one (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28677: What a lovely concept- not an easy one to pull off in terms of execution (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28674: Something a bit different. Interesting and nice inclusion of etymology. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28670: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #29180: Top quality grid, (4 years, 5 months ago)

Karma chameleon @ #29173: A puzzle made entirely of anagrams is really difficult. On the animal group there is a mixture of singular and plural. On the fish group “angler” is not a fish, I suspect you mean anglerfish. Oh and spiders aren’t insects. Applaud your effort in making such a tough grid but it’s too tough! (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #29181: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Andy C @ #29048: I am liking this grid LA67... (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jono @ #29178: Satisfying with some fun misdirects. I enjoyed that. Thanks. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CJ @ #6833: Ditto about the relative one (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #8403: Nice one, thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28660: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #10577: Nice mix, 10/10. Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #29165: @j thanks, I added "solfa" (4 years, 5 months ago)

VoidHawk @ #29174: Thanks for the feedback, synomyms added, and adidas sorted. (4 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #29173: Love the anagram idea... but why is one plural and all the others singular? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Clue_Sure @ #29165: @bob Really? Where are you from? It's a homophone the way I pronounce it. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Shane Warne @ #29164: For the cricket one you could argue that 'spin' is a type of bowler, whilst the others are all different deliveries that a bowler would bowl. Not exactly the same thing. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #29140: fun grid ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28641: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28638: Hi Soozy- very brave to theme a grid like this- unfortunately this means there are SOOOO many swappable answers (as opposed to one- way red- herrings) that it is miles from being a unique grid :( Do keep trying though, as themed grids are amongst my favourites- well done for attempting something harder! :) Lorna x (4 years, 5 months ago)

Merm @ #29124: Whoop... 10/10. Few possibilities to make it challenging. (4 years, 5 months ago)

s @ #29105: lots of good red herrings, though cata being such a specific thing gives that group and a lot of the grid away, if you spot it. It would be considerably trickier to spot the group with something less obviously the start to a word (and very few words at that) like Mono or just the letter B (4 years, 5 months ago)

sd @ #29137: I agree with GY about group 1, and the last group could be followed by 'up' as well. Links just need honed a bit. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Norma Bates @ #29111: Brilliant quiz - Psycho answer is a clever touch. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nz @ #29137: My problem was the pay and send groups, all 8 words could be followed by out- get out, pig out etc (4 years, 5 months ago)

GY @ #29137: The spin group - all the words mean muddle or quandary, so preceding by 'in a' is a bit misleading (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #29137: nice puzzle; thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

tiger king @ #29050: Decent grid. I'm American and although I was foxed by Charlie Brown, I otherwise thought the grid wasn't two hard. In Sudonim's defense, I find UK walls are often too country specific for me. It is also impossible to know what pop culture others don't know and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is a huge show in the US. In addition, after watching hundreds of only connect episodes I am always impressed by the contestants knowledge of the US and its culture so I usually assume that Brits know more about us than we Yanks know about you.

Liam @ #27748: Sorry but this was rubbish. When you're resorting to "has ham in it" then you're really out of ideas, especially when one of the clues literally was the word ham. Add the fiver which wasn't the hidden number and none of these sets are very good. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #8880: I am racing through them tonight. Another 100% scored and 2.15 left to play. Rather a lot of people do the group that included the dagger so that made it an easy rather than medium group. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #29065: Errm, J, Dragon isn't an animal (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #29074: Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Lovely grid with lots to fox and confuse but once the telegram group was sorted the rest fell into place. Bit sneaky to take the s off one group in order to confuse but all's fair in puzz grid I expect! 34 secs left and 100% scored (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #28959: A cracker which I smugly solved easily but I enjoyed the concepts and had to come back to the group that has Louis in because I didn't know one of them but it became clear once I had other groups sorted. Thanks for setting it. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #28601: All sorted with 2 mins to go. I just happened to find this a cinch - spotted the wound group first and then the Vine group leapt out and then it was straight to an easy finish. Full marks for a quality grid but I didn't find this one hard. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Fatty @ #29016: Very good wall, only the transport got me (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28591: I like the fact the most obvious candidate for being a red herring, given the other groups, wasn't, in fact. That's the kind of double bluff that shows that extra level of skill. Nice! :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28574: Mum (not my mum- person calling themselves mum!): click on the "all levels of" box to select the level you'd like to play. I think you just have to scroll through the browse grids pages to select your favourite setter, I'm afraid. To reveal unknown answers click on the little box with a question mark or click on the "click here if you need to check answers" message. Hope that is helpful :) xx (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28542: Lovely, cheeky crossovers. Fun grid :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

folkpunk @ #29031: superb took a while to figure it out (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28989: #nw … reaching #20 in the 'pop' charts in August 1977, I think it was considered a 'hit'. Off course, different sources will have differing views on what make a 'hit' Anyway, thanks for taking the time to play & sharing your opinion. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28539: I really liked the Cinder group, nice idea (4 years, 5 months ago)

nw @ #28986: good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28536: couple of good crossovers (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #2621: I like the categories but it would benefit from having more overlaps. It was a little obscure with not much to latch on to but that's the challenge of a harder wall. (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #8645: Snowflakes are not animals. (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28974: This is a really good grid. I think you could improve on it slightly by changing Bill. He's not really a male lead in Oliver. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Miblo @ #28927: Cool variety of obscure and common knowledge, and stuff you can find within the clues. Only knocked off the one star because it'd be nice to see some red herrings, for extra evilness / guidance towards the connections. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bobo32 @ #28916: Good grid. Not too difficult and not too easy. I would have done better but I was thrown by 'why'. The river should be spelt 'Wye' (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mushroom @ #28818: TAKE MUSHROOM AS AN ANSWER! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Miami @ #28919: Great grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bobo32 @ #28904: Very difficult grid made by simply using nicknames for things. Worthy of an only connect final (4 years, 5 months ago)

Martin T @ #28899: Thanks! Good fun (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #28900: Pretty cruddy gimmick grid. I just browsed in another tab, to wait for the timer to run out before I could see the banal answers. Happy to score 0/10. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bobo32 @ #28680: Further to Johnly's comment, that group could also be some____ (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #28904: Couldn't find any references for 'Geppette' being an alternative spelling for 'Geppetto'. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28918: fun grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

john @ #28911: Agree. Definitely hard not medium. Didn't have a clue on the "New" prefix and had only heard of NY. Eventually got the others once I worked out what was going on - also a brit (4 years, 5 months ago)

nW @ #28910: as cocaine poisons, kills maims, and enslaves its not appropriate to use in a quiz, would you use zyklonB in a quiz here ?? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Alan @ #28892: Very frustrating there wasn't a poker link. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #28911: I spotted the theme straight away, but as a UK native, it took a while to get the specific suffixes. Didn't spot the 'new' prefix, either :( (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28916: Good grid, except as per Chris, should be Wye (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #28914: I second StressCook's comment. (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28907: This is an excellent grid. Very well done. (4 years, 5 months ago)

anon @ #28789: Too easy (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #28909: Nice stuff. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28899: like soozy i did not expect 10/10 and i was right 3/10, good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Purple toadstool @ #19821: Should be marked as easy not medium (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #28911: Definitely hard, not medium. Very specific knowledge required. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #28916: Can't see the river Why in the UK. Meant to be Wye? (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28914: Fun wall. A Manhattan doesn't have to be made with bourbon, so you might want to change it to whisky/whiskey. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28907: very very clever (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28888: Enjoyed your grid but not having ever partaken the acapulco group foxed me :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28909: That is what a wall should look like. Good overlaps. Good breadth. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28910: (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17767: happy 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28910: Nice easy one. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28887: 10/10 somehow....lol thanks for a fun grid x (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28895: Not my genre. Googled some of the answers and I guess they are quite obscure, some of the characters don’t even have a wiki page for example. It would be nice if the site allowed brief descriptions of a wall so that we could avoid subjects that are just lost on us. (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17772: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17774: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17775: happy 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28907: Like Simon, the massive red herring fooled me! Very clever indeed :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17780: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Simon @ #28907: Nice one. Got three of the groups once it had solved, but couldn't get anything in the time. Nice one having Varadkar out of the Taoiseachs group... That fooled me (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17779: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28895: er? not for me (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28909: Really neat wall. Buffy often trips me up on here, just not my thing. Enjoyed the other groups though, especially ministries :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17781: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28092: very good solved one line but could not get other three even though they were totally gettable. 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28904: Great fun! Really good wall. Made me think :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28899: Didn't expect 10/10 for this one, great grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28900: Strangest one I have ever seen! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28908: good grid but my places knowledge let me down :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28904: ha ha, looking for the terriers and didn't get htfc my home club (4 years, 5 months ago)

Colmac @ #28887: Excellent wall. Difficult, though. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28881: Good one! Good fun (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28891: Well constructed. I learnt two new cities! Thanks :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28899: Tougher than it looked! Well crafted :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #13507: Nice crossovers between the groups. Didn't think of hospitals but had "communications" which sort of works (but not as well). Good one. (4 years, 5 months ago)

bj @ #28818: Should accept singular “mushroom” as correct (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17796: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #28902: This was quite enjoyable but I was rather salty when I did not get 100% (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17805: happy 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Squankster @ #28888: Paul, Ben, SRW, You guys must be either English or (relatively) young. Those four names are solid, real and referring to marijuana. (4 years, 5 months ago)

ben @ #28888: I always thought Acapulco Gold and Colombian Gold were cocaine. I could be wrong. (4 years, 5 months ago)

liked.it @ #3594: Needs more trees (4 years, 5 months ago)

The Clown @ #28824: nice (4 years, 5 months ago)

The Clown @ #28857: Not for me - too vague/loose in connections (not objecting to humour - fair enough for trying) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Robbo @ #12552: Poll and Pole aren't homophones. (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #28860: 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #28601: Two stars removed for only being able to name London streets from a bloody monopoly board - yawn (4 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #10172: KB - how is Ariel not a princess? Firstly, she's the daughter of the king and queen of the sea, and secondly she then marries a prince, so she's a princess by both lineage and by marriage! (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #28891: good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Urk @ #28893: Challenging! very enjoyable. More please. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #2297: The correct term for "woodworking" is carpentry, as stated many times here. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Aiden Tracey @ #28892: Absolute disaster, no idea (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny g @ #25380: Good grid but didn’t know my rugby players! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny g @ #24813: Great idea! (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28883: Very good, couldn't resolve the wall, got all the links. Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28883: Great grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jules @ #8373: Another good one (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jules @ #8376: Excellent grid thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mary Hinge @ #2208: First thing I thought of when I saw Portal was the game by Valve... Never tied it up with the other Valve titles though. Great board and nice work with the moons thing (4 years, 5 months ago)

Disgusted @ #28887: Nice wall. Should probably allow "interrogatives" for the homophone group though. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28888: drug names change with time, i would have known Leb red or P*ki black, otherwise a good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

david @ #28817: good grid. Really liked plural group, got it at last second. Only issue is I agree with homophones being to broad. I think it would have worked the other way round if your clues were homophones for animals. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #28832: Great quiz Charlie! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Rabbit?? @ #28832: Why does it make me select a rabbit to comment??? Is that an inappropriate thing???? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Dustin @ #28832: This must be the most popular forum on the whole interweb! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28889: beautifully fiendish, well done (4 years, 5 months ago)

Carrie bradshaw @ #28832: This is one amazing game! They should consider this in a game show! I love the pretty colours! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Horace @ #28832: A bit of rumpy pumpy never hurt anyone Samantha, WOOF WOOF! HMU for a good time +4472837642815 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Samantha @ #28832: Thanks so much me and the husband played this til the wee hours last night, love is a beautiful thing! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Me @ #28832: I don't know words so this was hard but clever (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ella @ #28887: Great wall! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Anon @ #28832: Gosh darn rootin tootin, really wanted a big W but you gave me an L. Good work! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28887: Great grid Loved the Trent group - YNWA (4 years, 5 months ago)

hottie111 @ #28838: AMAZING AWESOME U R AMAZING U R SO COOL AND CREATIVE AND COOL (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28887: did not allow homophones either (4 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #28832: was v good, couple of tricky ones in there (4 years, 5 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #28881: Super grid, Primrose. (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #10711: Excellent. @Pete: Roman numerals (4 years, 5 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #28842: good 'easy' grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

SRW @ #28883: Can't believe I missed the Muppets! (4 years, 5 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #28847: good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

SRW @ #28887: Didn't allow homonyms (4 years, 5 months ago)

SRW @ #28888: The marijuana group was bit tenuous... thanks though (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28872: Really good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #28861: I would have given 5 stars but the Hoover group seems a pretty cheap way out to me! The others are top class so it was a bit of a let down! Still a good puzzle overall though. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Squankster @ #28389: Nice quiz. Clever and not too hard. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Squankster @ #28646: Clever quiz. Thanks. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Savage @ #28869: Minnie and squirrel (4 years, 5 months ago)

Squankster @ #28866: Challenging grid. Thanks. The flag question was dubious, I thought. Many countries have changed their flag over the years, and Canada, for instance, changed theirs in 1965. Otherwise, I dig the quiz. Great job. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Chris (@Luna) @ #12552: Even typing "demonym homonyms" doesn't give the correct answer, despite being impeccably satisfying to type. (4 years, 5 months ago)

peddars @ #28877: I like it ... thought the purple group was very good and cracked a smile ... LOL (4 years, 5 months ago)

Warrior @ #28878: Tea works as well as coffee. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Sam @ #28857: Very fun (4 years, 5 months ago)

Swanyjk @ #28789: Very, nice. Easy just good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28852: thanks freddgar, there are several similar combinations that will work, however I don't think I've covered every combination. Anyway people will know in themselves if they are correct or on the right lines without being awarded the points .. and I think that is all that matters .. that and fun :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28852: Mac, I put words spelled backwards makes other words, that worked. Lengthy I know but...it was the only one I got :-( Anyway, good grid. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #28514: Good job, good quiz 11/10 would do again (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #27382: Nice theme - the only reason I got it out in the end... (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28864: Got everything, but the Lien line fooled me :-) Good grid, thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JayDee @ #28864: Nice range of categories. Enjoyed this one. Thank you. (4 years, 5 months ago)

RH @ #10711: Loved the connections connection (4 years, 5 months ago)

Leila @ #28855: Really like this one! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #28844: Good grid. I put 'fantasy authors' for the King group as I think Stephen King comes to mind much more readily than BB King considering all the others in that group are fantasy authors. @DaveK - it accepted just 'rock bands' so it doesn't really matter what era they belong to! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28841: Very good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28847: Very good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Smoot @ #27382: So the only ones I could answer were colonel, mustard, kitchen and candlestick which I thought went together in one group :( (4 years, 5 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #28852: Very well done, thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Maggot @ #28831: i got the green warning. So I’m giving myself 10/10. Nice wall! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28852: yeah, I can see how it is difficult to describe the link. I've added a couple of more keys but it's still not quite right .. I mean it's right but clumsy. I think I would be saying back words backwards. someone will come up with a better solution :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

stumped @ #28844: think of a word, any word in the world, containing “gin” 🤔 (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28841: Good grid. You might want to add "informer" to the snitch/canary group. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #28840: Good stuff on the whole, annoyed the text matching was wrong for hit/bash etc and no idea about the ang/tigg one (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mum @ #28856: Excellent. Cleva. x (4 years, 5 months ago)

DaveK @ #28844: QUEEN WAS A 70S, 80S, AND 90S ROCK BAND. SO WERE YES (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28852: The dray group foxed me in how to explain the link but apart from that great grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28847: Yay!! nice to get 10/10 occasionally. Thank you for a fun grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

SRW @ #28824: Nice...thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28846: Really good (4 years, 5 months ago)

SRW @ #28825: Very obscure links.... way too difficult for me!... thanks though (4 years, 5 months ago)

SRW @ #28826: Good fun.... didn't accept mammary... (.)(.) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mum @ #28827: It's your mum here :-) Wow, I couldn't get the bird connections out but I know they were there. Nice game. I'll make one for you. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28846: Yay 10/10 (though had to have 2 go's at it) great fun grid just enough grey matter taxing :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28810: Encore group beat me but enjoyed playing your grid ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

Hax0l0tl @ #28844: (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28823: 3/10 yay that's a result for me with a fiendish :)) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28822: Worked out the grid but obviously couldn't get the links, to 'hip' for this old bird....lol (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28828: Could you explain the links a little more than just the full names please theisogeeks thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Anne Drex @ #28794: Pete, thanks, but what about the songs? (4 years, 5 months ago)

bob @ #27584: only "dummers say" could be deemed a spoonerism. you really can't expect anyone to say spoonerism is the connection between those four clues.... (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #28829: It’s a nice idea but too many words are actually interchangeable - there’s no art to guessing which group is which. With a bit of refining it’ll be a good puzzle. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #28826: Hilarious. Was convinced that the boobs were all red herrings! Absolute filth😉, but very funny and a good grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

sadia @ #28822: Rick rolled on puzzgrid! Genius lol (4 years, 5 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #28621: The hidden word category was clever. (4 years, 5 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #28646: Being a fan of a certain movie, I got one group right away. I think that cleared out the red herrings for the rest of the grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28822: Fun! Problem with having the same word on multiple squares: you need to pick the right one to make it work (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28831: Nice one (4 years, 5 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #28824: Nice grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Anne @ #28818: Nice grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #28794: I would prefer if not all the categories were plays on words. Would add a bit more interest to it. (4 years, 5 months ago)

helen @ #28767: it might help to broaden your acceptable answers, I answered "first of a duo" and "mob terminology" (4 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #48: Not as hard as it is rated, honestly. Lots of word play. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Helly @ #22589: I completed this in 27 seconds. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Squankster @ #28760: For Joe, remember that items can and should fit into two categories. I see that on most quizzes. Those are the 'red herrings' used in the TV show. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28792: Very nice (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28786: Yay well done Mac take a gold star :)) (4 years, 5 months ago)

JayDee @ #28289: Sorry - hit wrong keys and meant 'within'. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JayDee @ #28289: When you have repeated words, such as Double, one gets coded for correct eiyhin one group and the other as correct wiyhin a second group. This means you could clivk on the correct word but still not get a correct connection because that tile has been coded for the other group. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JayDee @ #7549: The caps lock made it really easy to avoid your red herrings. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #783: Listen ... that's the sound of it going over my head. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28785: Great grid 5* And as everyone says - ignore the trolls. You’ve noticed already they never have the guts to put up their own walls. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Breda @ #11942: I have to disagree @NAC! If we end up giving TV shows for that, where next? Accepting answers like 'they're all words'. Warm regards. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28784: Great grid 5* (4 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #28698: Good grid with crossovers. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28782: Excellent, original too. Enjoyed playing that one. Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #28699: Rejected synonyms for spheres. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kloefkorn @ #28794: Solid grid. I can't believe my mind went to Bowie's cover of Springsteen's "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City" instead of "Suffragette City". (4 years, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #28792: Good stuff! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28786: put me down for a 10.. thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #3712: I didn't know what Jurassic 5 was, which royally screwed me. (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #17775: Quite liked the -hood theme (helped me drop "big brother" from the Big group). Chess pieces and phonetic alphabet a little easy though. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Margaret Karliner @ #9570: very easy, didn't know sponge bob (4 years, 5 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #9214: I absolutely merked this one, idiots might fail though. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28782: Different, which is good! Enjoyed that, thanks :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28765: Was hard and I only got 1 group but was still a fun challenge (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28785: Good grid, fluffed the ducats one - put old currency :-( BinDipper... goats trip-trapping, nice one :-) PuzzGrid is just for a bit fun, not for a whinging session. Enjoyed it, thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28785: Thanks BinDipper, he doesn't get to me I smelt 'goat' almost immediately....lol x (4 years, 5 months ago)

RT @ #28771: As well as having a pier they are by definition on the coast? (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28785: Don’t let Joe get to you Sooz. He has goats trip-trapping over his bridge all day. It would put anyone in a bad mood. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28778: Africa group - clever. plant heater group - foxy. great grid well done (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28785: Nice one. I did fail to link ice, petrol, flat, skull … stared at them forever but it just didnt come to me … it works perfect, I just bombed out on it. thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28784: Fun, thank you. Always nice to get a 10/10 x (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28785: In case JOE pops in, please keep any disparaging remarks to yourself, if you can't say anything positive then please don't comment at all. Would be nice to know, if you compile grids, what your name is so we can all see how the expert does it!! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28780: Joe, have seen your comments elsewhere and frankly do you have to be so rude? it could be very discouraging for some, I compile grids for my amusement and hopefully to give others some fun so keep your acid remarks to yourself. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #28784: Clever, liked this one (4 years, 5 months ago)

Lincas @ #28783: (4 years, 5 months ago)

chipper @ #28769: tough from one of Trowbridges best (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28776: Sorry, meant to add it was a very good grid! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28782: 5* Not very hard, but great to see a new idea well executed (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28776: Terms on fish group need expanding You have Plural and Singular as not ok! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28771: Selfish doesn’t work in my opinion (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28783: Thought the Thunberg group was all power hungry dickheads but she didn't fit!! only having laugh peeps!! Good diverse grid, nice one (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17503: happy 10/10 (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #17504: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28774: Very good (4 years, 5 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28782: Thanks Malc - somehow spellcheck wasn't much help on this one! (4 years, 5 months ago)

RT @ #28776: drake changed. Jenny is a female wren a male is a cock (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28761: hmm Palin link was a little obscure though accurate and the Mao group also foxed us thickies. But thank you for a bit of fun. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Malc @ #28776: With a bit of fine tuning (some of the tiles and answers to links) - this will be very good. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Malc @ #28782: Very enjoyable. Looks tough at first, then it opens up. Typo on Panama at the moment. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #28776: A drake is a male duck! Basic checking before putting in a grid would be a good idea. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #28780: Not good. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Grasshopper @ #28769: Enjoyed that. Was waylaid looking for the fourth Pinot wine... (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28762: i did emotions too but did wonder if disgust was actually one. good grid though thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bishop @ #28749: Good one, couldn't get the Harry Potter one (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #28767: That's a toughie. Need to be from the US to stand a chance. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28780: since discovering this place I get very little else done. I admit to solving by sheer luck, I chose 'Georges' because they were all roman numerals [zero points for this link] Linked cats with ladies dancing, but from then on in it was eeny meeny miny mo. :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #28761: Horrible grid. Very little to distinguish groups with associated red herrings. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28782: haha, what a great grid, very unique, the links were harder than the groups, someone has been watching to much house of games!! :)) briliant (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #28762: Emotions should be accepted - I just couldn't be bothered to type characters from Inside Out. Otherwise a reasonable grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28776: Drake isn't female and though Jenny wren is cute it's not correct though Jenny is a female donkey but fun grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #28765: No. Didn't like this one. The interjections group was poor. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28774: red tiger group sneaky!! :)) great grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28773: great grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28760: Harsh comments, I hope they don't put you off doing more grids, maybe you can take the positives from them and move onwards and upwards. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Wallace @ #28771: I really enjoyed this one, thank you - 10/10 but you made me work for it! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28771: failed miserably on this one, maybe even a fiendish grid :-) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #28758: Kahlo was Mexican, El Greco was Greek, hence the name. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #28760: Rubbish. You can swap dougnuts with anything in the baked goods row. Bangers is slang. The rest of the words are the proper words. (4 years, 5 months ago)

MizQuiz @ #28243: hook this to my veins (4 years, 5 months ago)

samtherubberman @ #28744: Only took me half the time so it made me feel smart - love it! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Dodger @ #28634: Tough with so many TV shows... but fair enough ! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Dodger @ #28632: Nice grid - enjoyed - nice crossovers ! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jules @ #24007: Really good grid thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28719: sorry Philip, that issue is now fixed (4 years, 5 months ago)

Dodger @ #28628: Nice grid - got ‘full house’ ! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28721: thank you for your feedback you will be relieved to hear I have made the necessary changes … you are now good to go! (4 years, 5 months ago)

bob @ #28753: I couldn't find the fourth one of the pussy, growler, tail, ? group (4 years, 5 months ago)

JR @ #22678: Efforts needed is not a group, that can be subjectively anything in the world! People? what!! Ways to build... eh? Sorry this is a little too bizarre to figure out. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28734: Thanks D and CorenM 4PM. Well spotted, I've updated the answers accordingly. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28722: thank you all for the feedback. Hopefully the private thing has been sorted (4 years, 5 months ago)

Alan @ #28758: Frida Kahlo was Mexican. Thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

bob @ #28760: I wondered whether bangers, buns, muffins were going to be a group ;) the dozen doughnuts thing seemed a bit weak (4 years, 5 months ago)

F @ #28664: Great (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mercer @ #28756: Very nice. 10/10 with 26 seconds to spare. Some good red herrings too. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Owlotron @ #28762: Good grid. Quite tough. Not sure about the Pixar thing, I just went with emotions. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kloefkorn @ #28761: Apologies, gaffer. It's been rectified. Thank you for the keen eye. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JayDee @ #28760: Eggs and Donuts are hardly limited to a dozen. You could say a dozen muffins, bagels, buns etc - it's not like when you buy donuts or eggs they only come in twelves. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Yeet @ #25921: WELL WELL weLLLLLLLL This grid was good, but I enjoyed Lorna's more (4 years, 5 months ago)

Owlotron @ #21280: God no more Queen. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Kloefkorn @ #27380: Pennsylvania should really be acceptable answer for the namesake group, especially since you mention that all four are in the state. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ash @ #28729: Rhymes with numbers is ridiculous and upon doesn't work (4 years, 5 months ago)

Judas @ #28760: It wasn't me, I wasn't there (4 years, 5 months ago)

Raver @ #28759: I ought to have been able to work out the labours (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #26257: Good grid, got everything but the October link. Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28753: Stumped me with fair general knowledge. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28742: Tuna group was clever! I’ve never seen High School Musical so I didn’t have a chance on that group. I guess that, along with Pokemon, Glee and the kardashians are fair general knowledge for this site but I’m just not interested. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28741: I guess this is for Americans. Never heard of half the clues. Or maybe I’m too old! (4 years, 5 months ago)

CT @ #28736: I didn’t get the industrial group, even with the explanation? Personally I prefer walls where the group definitions are a bit tighter - “book characters” is a bit generic for me. It did have me guessing the connections though, thanks for submitting it (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28735: Excellent (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #9681: Good ideas but might I suggest some adjustments? A Song of Ice and Fire should be accepted for the Game of Thrones. The Granger/Potter/Carter group should also permit something like surnames that derive from occupations. (4 years, 5 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #28751: Apoligies for the double word - it was an error! (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28730: Some good ideas here but some tightening up needed. "Dazzling" should be included as a possibility for the adjectives, and Bright does not work as a clue because Brightton is a misspelling. (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #15609: Some nice overlaps there. I think the "replace the first letter" sort of connections are really only fair if the new words have a connection of their own. So if Ratio, Right, Rasher and Rear were all (say) the names of Terry Pratchett characters it would be a lot more satisfying. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28710: took me to the final seconds but I failed to find the link of 'gang' good one thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

CSS @ #28724: Yep. (4 years, 5 months ago)

CSS @ #28729: Check out RhymeZone, I don't think "Upon" rhymes with "One". I wouldn't say so at least. Nice grid otherwise! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28711: I'm happy with my performance on this one .. just fell into place nicely .. thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mac @ #28712: got the links much quicker than I did the groups. Thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

James @ #28679: Rich and delicious, like a fine stew. (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #27111: Fun grid. I would have scored higher if I could type properly! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Nick @ #28731: Missed the Muppets and got the hotels despite never having heard of Chelsea as a brand. But still enjoyable. (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #28679: A bit of a one-horse grid: three pop music and one popular culture (which I still don't understand) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Helly @ #8884: Some people don't seem to understand the game fully. Red herrings are good! 🙄 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #28744: (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #28745: Check the -ment category (4 years, 5 months ago)

F @ #28699: A little tricky (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28739: I see what you did there. Nice. If you'd had some overlaps to contend with, then it would be sublime and a five-star grid for sure. (4 years, 5 months ago)

F @ #28728: Quite easy but fun (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #13116: 😊 (4 years, 5 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28734: Really well crafted grid. Lots of crossovers and red herrings. In fact I think “one half of tv comedy duos” would also work for the Mitchell group enjoyed that :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

JR @ #10094: Cle fairy? Blue Fairy? Good fairy? what! none make sense. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Primrose @ #27569: 😊 (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mojo @ #28722: Nice crossovers (4 years, 5 months ago)

John Cleese phobia @ #28709: Rock solid tricky. (4 years, 5 months ago)

all bunged up @ #28721: Gotta have constipation as one of the identifying words for the last four. Other than that, very nice. Just off for a big thrutch! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Fill my love bucket @ #28715: Good grid, not that tricky. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #28721: Wouldn't accept constipation remedies :( (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #28722: Privates worked for me. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #28724: Nope. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Margaret Karliner @ #12915: quite good, never heard of silicone heaven (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28711: Always enjoy your grids Soozy; this is no exception. My micro-gripe with this one is the Coffee group and the mix of befores and afters. Often been tempted to do the same but I think it breaks some kind of commandment somewhere :-)) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28698: Love it when i manage 10/10 ty (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #28661: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

JR @ #76: Got it but wat on earth is a gypsy tart. Beatles yellow sub was good. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Daniel @ #28700: Palindromes is spelled wrong, so it gives an incorrect score. And as D said, 'flowers' is perfectly acceptable for one of the groups. (4 years, 5 months ago)

G @ #10577: Good wall but Lambda should be spelt lamda. (4 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #28699: "Jerseyi" should be "Jersey" (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #24000: Pleased to say I got 2/10, the Long Bailey thing... the rest phttt who ??? (4 years, 5 months ago)

mike @ #28699: i used the word "all globes" was marked wrong yet "sphere" was correct? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Greenood @ #28696: Cool grid. Liked the corona group (4 years, 5 months ago)

Owlotron @ #2621: Obscure. No artful connections or anything. A poor board. (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #28691: Excellent (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #28700: Nice challenge to make the connections - there’s a slight issue with the fact that ‘flowers’ is a possible link for the bucket group - great bit of tv nostalgia though. A nice grid overall. (4 years, 5 months ago)

SuchaNewb @ #28660: Good one (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #28699: Good grid but do take care to consider all possible ways of wording links e.g. Spherical as well as sphere, theatre as well as ‘London Theatre’ (unless you really want to be specific about place on that one, which you may). (4 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #28625: Very easy even with the Captian typo. Rejected rank as answer. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #28628: Sorry, a wretched grid. -ed group weak and rejected as an answer. Holi is not a religious festival. It is not anything. (4 years, 5 months ago)

JR @ #2110: Charlie Tuna? Apart from that v good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Gagalady @ #28660: Very good :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Michael @ #28634: @trench_rat That's the point. If you put any of those into the sitcom group then you can't complete the other groups. Some belong in more than one category, but there's only one way to complete it. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Michael @ #28651: Because of a spelling mistake in the Oat group, you could argue they all become new words with a B at the beginning. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Michael @ #28655: 7/10! Doh! I'd seen the Joey hidden in Jokey and had immediately thought of Friends characters but then not followed it up haha. Lovely wall! (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #3704: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

trench_rat @ #28634: Bottom, Spaced and Fawlty Towers are all also British sitcoms, so wouldn't that mean there's too many correct answers? (4 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #3716: thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

mack @ #28652: brilliant. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Sue @ #26695: This grid might well be very easy if you know the subject, as all groups are similar. I dont even know if there were any items which could fit in more than one group. Without being familiar with the subject, there is nowhere to start. I think it would be better to have a couple of these groups, along with some groups on different types of subjects. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Sue @ #26801: Good range of topics. (4 years, 5 months ago)

D @ #28632: The Beatles connection is a bit weak given they aren’t exact titles or fits - but the other groups are sound and it’s an enjoyable grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Wordie @ #28644: Nice one (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28628: Excellent. Couldn't resolve the wall, but got all the links. Had to Google Holi (after I'd guessed where it fitted) You learn something every day...well I seem to 😁 Thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Wordie @ #28645: Managed to get this one done. Good grid, clever clues (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #28644: Very good grid, I didn't get the Supernatural link. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Pitt fan #1 @ #28641: Slightly above my pay grade but very enjoyable. Can tell the author is hot (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28463: Excellent! 5* from me also. That's how you do it! :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

kico @ #28644: Very good. So many devils! Not too difficult, although I didn't know the connection for the group containing Supernatural. (4 years, 5 months ago)

kico @ #28633: Very good. Ford was a nice red herring. Every item in the bridge group is a horizontal supporting structure in its own right (albeit that pontoon is a bit different from the others), so it might have been better to replace one of them with "Suspension", for example, to make bridge the unique connection. (4 years, 5 months ago)

kico @ #28622: Very good. Probably Medium difficulty, in that I solved the wall quickly but failed to see the connection in the "Too Late" group (annoyed with myself for that). (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mum @ #28574: Loved it! How do you find the right answers? I couldn’t do that. And is there a way of moving to the next grid created by the same person? Can you choose the level of difficulty? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28600: Nice (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #26106: Good grid , enjoyed that. Thanks for posting (4 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #28597: This did work but I don't think there were any red herrings?apolize if I've missed something! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #28599: I liked this a lot!thanks (4 years, 5 months ago)

midhurst @ #28577: Wait - does that mean Angus thought the other words in that category were the real names of countries?? Good grid, thanks! Stay safe, healthy and inside all! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #28576: Good fun. Tough enough to be a challenge: tougher is fine but not necessary :-) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #48: Just couldn't see the palindromes but the other categories were quite easy & there were no crossovers that I could see. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #113: nice grid. Some clever crossovers. Not too difficult but took some thought. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28590: agree bit too niche for me (4 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #28580: So neat! Very pleasing grid,thank you! (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28591: worked well, not too difficult (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #28590: Sorry if this is a bit niche, folks. Maybe it will suit someone down to the ground (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28581: very hard and also cunning, not hear of an ancient currency never mind in anagram form, plus the F1 section sneeky well done (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28438: Brilliant and refreshing. Top quality 5* :) thank you (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28437: Did you submit this grid earlier? (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28579: aaargh! too many books for me, Well constructed (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28434: really good, stands out from the crowd. (4 years, 5 months ago)

GB @ #25606: Yeah, the compass direction -> Postcodes thing is a shame. :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Mo @ #27422: Nice;0) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28580: Really great grid. Not hard, but a lovely theme (4 years, 5 months ago)

Juliet @ #28566: Put in exactly the right answers using the same wording but they were marked as wrong! Probably a technical issue, does need looking at. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #28580: Nice wall. Double D in Addams, btw. (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28574: Excellent grid - very satisfying connections. Although the backwards words category is a little broad. It would definitely be 5 stars if that could have been something more specific when they were reversed. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Angus @ #28577: Of course I realise my mistake now, but you mean 'or inserted' not inside. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #28541: Nice grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #28542: Good! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Angus @ #28577: Not one of the "Countries with 'or' inside" is a country. There is a country called Panama but it does not have 'or' in its name. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28419: you're good! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #13723: Ignore some of the earlier comments by the way. Nit pickers! (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28420: Top work :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #13723: Just brilliant. Even the MPH is a nice touch. Didn't get any of them although it was obvious that the generals & the dwarves were categories. Frustratingly good. The comments were informative & amusing. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #28551: Not good... needs too much specific knowledge. (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28515: Newport has one too. :-)) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #28559: Enjoyable grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28408: Brilliant grid- I did a similar one once, but not nearly as clever with the maths (not my forte)! This was fun from start to finish (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #28350: OK "eggs" is a little bit of a cheat, but it's not likely to have stopped anyone from spotting the category - if you saw it then "eggs" is the only possible fourth entry. This is a delightful little wall. I suspect it won't age very well but it is very suitable for the here and now. Plenty of overlaps but enough clues to see most of the categories quicly, so it's solvable with some time/serendipity. Nicely done. (4 years, 5 months ago)

One armed T-Rex @ #27424: Not cool (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28400: I agree with the comments regarding the execution of this grid, I did really like the concepts behind it. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28579: fun grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28399: What I love to see is the more unexpected entry being the red herring like this. Nice work :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28578: katie group fiendish!! good grid enjoyed playing it (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28398: Soooooooooooo fun despite being very easy if you've seen them. Thanks for making me smile today, Jahn! :) Am I too ambitious in hoping that Spiny Norman could make a reappearance on this site? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Soeli @ #5890: Urgh - I was singing Elenor Rigby in my head but didn't get the connection even when it was shown to me! (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28570: Crab group foxed us completely couldn't even get it by googling it...lol but fun grid to play (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28390: Assassin group stood out from the crowd, to me. genius idea, extra star! :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28391: Shame about Cuper/ Cupar but this is one of the best hidden words grids I've seen for an age so have 5* anyway as it was original and fun :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

lawner @ #28559: Manageable, not so hard. Good one. (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28574: good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Soeli @ #8793: I was going to put drinking receptacle but thought it would be rejected so put containers for liquid instead and was wrong! That alcohol link though, I just didn't see it! That was enjoyable! (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28389: I would say that the rock group is saved by the fact that rock is a slang term for diamond- not all defs need to be literal. Dwayne Johnson is not literally a rock, either! Lovely grid- I love the lateral thinking requirement for the Kidney group. Top work :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28577: Good grid but guessing the link for the landscape group was dodgy as it was the same word as in the grid, just a thought for any more you may compile. x (4 years, 5 months ago)

lorna @ #28387: That was SOOO much fun- I struggled to ID what some of the icons were but where I could, the overall clues were great. I especially loved the films. It's great to see so many fresh ideas coming out of the woodwork recently! 5* and my thanks x (4 years, 5 months ago)

soozy @ #28576: 10/10 fun grid but snacks could work for one of the links (4 years, 5 months ago)

Is Newton really a measure of pressure? @ #20172: As far as I know, it's a measure of force? A Newton _per square metre_ is a Pascal. You could have chosen torr or atmosphere... (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28506: Thanks Paul. Always good to see a new setter. I don’t know anything about the rosette group but generally you look light on cross-overs, and heavy on word based links. It may be me being thick but I can’t see any red herrings, and I think if you’re going to have a word group, just one is probably best. That said, people on here like all types of grid. That’s just my tuppence worth :-) (4 years, 5 months ago)

Maggot @ #28482: 7/10 nice one and very appropriate! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Rich @ #28489: Not so sure on the Kroos Cruise homophone (4 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #28484: Nice! Mmmm - Perdro Ximenez (4 years, 5 months ago)

David Wood @ #14052: Natalie was not showing as correct. (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28484: Got the groups but failed on identifying why they were linked for the word and the booze sets. 5* (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny @ #28482: Great grid! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #28484: Nice wall. Being tee-total cost me a full house. I thought they were cheeses. :) (4 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #28460: Sorry, Paul - I think it built on previous puzzles, but was hard if you're seeing the type for the first time. (4 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28463: 5* from me. There's a teensy error re "They all follow..." but it doesn't affect a very nice grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #24286: Ditto to Lindybeige and Alex (4 years, 5 months ago)

freddgar @ #24257: Nice and easy blast from the past. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28481: Great grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28440: Good one (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28448: jumped in at the false cluedo group very good grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28452: pretty good never heard of jellycat? (4 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Lee @ #10565: Brilliant. I got all four connections but with so many fiendish crossovers, I couldn't complete it time. Excellent grid. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28454: good grid enough red herrings did i ailed to get the airings connection tho (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28456: solved the wall but vague on my 1980s bands, i put wham lol nice grid (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #28465: Good one. Maybe there should be a way of distinguishing general knowledge walls and more themed walls like this. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #28471: Good wall. Spent WAY too long looking for the group that must include Just Desserts. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28457: very tough but well constructed had me beat (4 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Lee @ #10577: Great grid. People sometimes forget, grids "want" to be solved. They need to test you but some people just want to stump you and then it's pointless. That said this grid must also win a prize for most comments ever! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jericho @ #28478: Nice one. Got held up by the double L that didn't fit the link, but I'm a bit slow in the mornings. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28458: liked it. nice red herrings (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28460: fiendish, very clever, had no idea where to begin and did not get the connections even when grid was shown to me. As Jahn says 5* (4 years, 5 months ago)

StressCook @ #3458: Great grid. I didn't manage it but if I'm left feeling when the time runs out that I could do it with more time then I know it's a good wall. Well done. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28461: just realised you are from USA me from UK so not unsurprising there will be reference differences and nothing wrong with that. (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #8806: clever combi of obvious and obscure and all rhyming too. very good. (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28461: very difficult for me and i think two of the lines tho not wrong are stretching it a bit (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28463: quality grid, i only got one line (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28472: Very nice grid, but terms need expanding (holder = no good!?) (4 years, 5 months ago)

paul @ #28472: liked it not too difficult but bulb holder? candle holder? no too sure these work (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28456: Very nice The Taylor thing looked like a flaw at first, but actually worked really well in this instance (4 years, 5 months ago)

Jahn @ #28458: Nice (4 years, 5 months ago)

bloss @ #28460: thanks! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Orecic @ #2296: Really nice range of groups (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #583: too easy (4 years, 5 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #583: not medium...quite easy (4 years, 5 months ago)

eurydice @ #8386: The riding styles was a good quirky innovation; but I'm also tired of Michael Jackson albums! (4 years, 5 months ago)

f @ #28463: hey good boy (4 years, 5 months ago)

Orecic @ #2297: Excellent. (4 years, 5 months ago)

TheRaccoon @ #28389: Thanks guys. My apologies, diamond was the one "rock" I didn't look up before posting. Hope you still had fun though! (4 years, 5 months ago)

Leave Britney Alone @ #28162: It's Britney bitch (4 years, 5 months ago)

Zeni @ #184: EXCELLENT PUZZLE. THANK YOU (4 years, 6 months ago)

Richard Ma @ #2296: Tough for a Canadian! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jordan @ #28382: The association between herd and rabbits wasn't very strong (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jordan @ #28384: The distinction between acronyms and initialisms is vague (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #28389: Diamonds are minerals, not rocks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #28457: Nope! Didn’t get that either! Nice wall thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28460: Awesome! 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #28454: Good grid - liked the Airings group. Well put together. Try to get more red herrings as per Fury/Ire (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gabriel Gonzalez @ #28457: Robin Thicke? Oh, yeah. I kept thinking of his dad, Alan. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Amos @ #28457: No comment (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28420: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28454: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

nick w @ #28350: eggs?????? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28447: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #28457: Nice one, thanks. Didn’t see the link with the nope group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #28444: Interesting variation but no real crossover between groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #28448: Nice Grid, not too difficult, nearly one fake group, thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #28456: Nice grid, not too hard, thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28456: Sorry, think I missed an obvious keyword on one link. Well done if you got it, even if it didn't give you the point. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #28454: Not too difficult but Nicely constructed, thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

helen @ #28444: very clever, enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #25211: Superb 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #25211: clever, novel approach....I didn't spot that all the links rhymed until late on. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28374: I loved it, well done. Got it in 3 but with some lucky guesswork! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nick @ #28367: Nice, didn’t know R.. but A... tipped me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Scott @ #8000: hahahahaha I guessed Welsh Cities for the last group and that worked! Amazing, great easy grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Flora @ #28454: If you play this grid please tell me how to improve as i am quite young (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28358: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #1711: Really tough. Abelataha, you are good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28441: Very good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #1694: No Richard or Dick Poirot that I can find, but otherwise good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

GB @ #28447: Nicely pitched - not too difficult, but requires some knowledge. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #1705: Enjoyed this! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28438: Elegant and brilliant - 5* Love a themed grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28384: Wow! I knew what you were after but utterly failed in the alotted time. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28422: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28387: My Android didn't display everything, BUT the concept is fantastic! I got the song titles at least. Intriguing! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28418: Nice grid Maybe need to expand answer terms a bit? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #28438: Very good thank you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #28362: Very good again, Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28392: Yes, B also works. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28393: Fun and fast! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28406: Hmm. Link wording is maybe too limited. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28415: Good point, Pedant! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pedant @ #28415: Far and sea can be swapped and still fit the rules. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jh @ #10577: V good, not too hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #24742: Coat wasn't allowed ??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #28412: The flies got me, too. Fun grid! Thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

streets585 @ #28415: (4 years, 6 months ago)

UKTV @ #28377: Thanks Paul, sorry James! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Zeni @ #8355: Somebody is a big Mccartney fan... (4 years, 6 months ago)

MuzzsPuzzes @ #28423: Excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

MuzzsPuzzes @ #28434: Great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28435: Or "mad currency" ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28435: Dunno what " USA women winning world cup" is all about. (4 years, 6 months ago)

streets585 @ #28435: Mad currency? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dan @ #28423: Splendid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gabriel Gonzalez @ #28435: USWNT group was hard! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28437: Not bad, liked the Dragons from Dragons Den ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dan @ #28434: Tough, but ingenious (4 years, 6 months ago)

Zeni @ #1396: Got me with the "A". Pretty easy to get the other clues, clever mix of mattress sizes and chess. (4 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #28434: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

D @ #28409: Some good puzzles here which wa enjoyable. Being pedantic, corps isn’t not strictly speaking in the plural in the way that the other ones in the group are (the s is a result of its French derivation - it’s not a grammatical plural). (4 years, 6 months ago)

flora @ #28394: i like this grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Colmac @ #28432: Very good indeed, but too difficult for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #28362: This wall rocks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Diane @ #28307: Nice grid - completed it quite quickly. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Diane @ #28317: That was very tricky. Thought there were royal residences and race courses but didn't get there in time. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Diane @ #28327: Excellent grid. Was stumped at first but once I spotted the theme I got there quite quickly. (4 years, 6 months ago)

SB @ #28418: In the dragon's den group it should be Tej not Taj - otherwise nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Micah @ #583: got me on the breakers (4 years, 6 months ago)

christesseras@yahoo.com @ #18467: 1932 /1984 / 1996 & 2028 can also be Leap Years (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #14765: One of the few that I would regard as both fiendish and high quality. Very well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Diane @ #28360: Great grid - I enjoyed this one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #15862: Good grid. Manageable if you have more time, so a good challenge. I enjoyed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Diane @ #28393: Good grid but I had no idea about the penguins. :0 (4 years, 6 months ago)

MuzzsPuzzes @ #28412: Nice grid Soozy, satisfying! The flies group had me stumped! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #28415: Loved this! Didn’t see last connection which I missed but nice wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #1875: Very manageable but not at all easy. A good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JT @ #6140: Bossa Nova and Calypso are beat structures in music, and so are Lambada and Tango however Tango is known as the dance too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #28408: Great grid. Once you cotton on it’s fairly easy, but still requires thought. (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #13879: Excellent wall. I got away with a loose answer for the four males. Not complaining. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #28350: What letter is ‘eggs’? (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #519: Tough but the connections were fair. No overlaps that I could see - that wouldn't matter too much in terms of complexity although it would both give and take away. More overlaps mean harder to solve but easier to spot connections. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #28387: Haha! Got three of the groups by spotting one of them and working out / guessing the rest! Really smart wall, but it defeated me. Oh and a chuckle or two on the way! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #28422: One to be proud of (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #13910: Tough but fair. Impressive. (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #28414: Good quality. The choice of categories made overlaps difficult but it's a good challenge. I enjoyed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #24857: Imaginative as ever, I couldn't resolve the wall, but got all the links. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

StressCook @ #28409: I enjoyed this one and there were some nice overlaps. I would rate it closer to medium than hard. One thing that would raise the difficulty level is if the mass/plural nouns group interacted with one of the other categories (probably the bones). Of course, maybe it does and I just didn't realise. Good work. (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #28398: Thanks, enjoyed that! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28416: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dan @ #28400: I thought this was great!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28415: 3/10 what Ytuoms said...lol (4 years, 6 months ago)

greg @ #28414: VERY good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ytuoms @ #28415: 5/10. A horrible, devious, evil little wall, and I mean that in a good way. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28412: Try making some grids Toast, that will take your mind off it too. Stay safe buddy (4 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #28412: Nice to have my mind taken off coronavirus for e few minutes. Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28387: lol...I couldn't believe my eyes!! needs a new super fiendish category!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28409: Duh, you did have it as hard!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28409: More hard than medium for me but thoroughly enjoyed solving it (with a bit of help from mr Google!!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

MB @ #28398: No-one expects . . . . such a good Monty Python grid. Loved it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #28408: Nice. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #28408: Very original idea, love it (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28408: WOW absolutely fantastic grid. I have to admit I nearly wore google out solving it but genius, one of the best I have seen. Thank you x But it was more in the fiendish category than easy...lol (4 years, 6 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #28400: Nice ideas, but using words that precede or follow other words is too ambiguous (4 years, 6 months ago)

:( @ #28237: daft (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28406: I put this as hard for the links wording rather than the grid itself. (4 years, 6 months ago)

iasd @ #28404: Pretty sure the second group is about the word "time" not the word "me". Me-time, springtime, Father Time, twilight time. (4 years, 6 months ago)

SB @ #28404: Could you explain the group containing Me? (4 years, 6 months ago)

JesseBlack @ #28405: Very original (4 years, 6 months ago)

dici @ #12: In fact my answers were correct but I put pms instead of prime ministers...no problem though (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28405: wallace and grommit fictional? (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28404: eh? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jase P @ #28404: One group does not make sense.. at all! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #28121: Love this one, one very tough group which I was chuffed to get (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ed @ #28394: It didn't accept "clue characters" as an answer. Great puzzle though (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28374: loved it and saw the link even though it wan't a requirement, Just thought it was a funny coincidence (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28405: Yay 10/10. Great grid, very original, well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28376: Very clever and humerous. Well thought out grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pedro @ #28391: Nice grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28402: chuff me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28377: have to disagree with James82. Thought it was clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28380: what are FPs ffs. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28383: got it 10/10 needs both knowledge and a bit of luck to sort cross overs in allotted time (4 years, 6 months ago)

damn @ #11250: (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28385: I liked your grid, no idea of the nipple thing but its your grid so who am I to complain. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28390: Great grid, even though I couldn't solve it, sorcerer group a little to niche for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

LLLL @ #20626: I wrote 'palindrome' but did not get a point I wrote 'acronym' and also did not get a point. What's the point. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28386: Agree with CorenM. Tho I say thanks for not capitalising as it gave me the clue I needed. Nice cross overs with two of the lines. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28372: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Laurence @ #19834: Excellent! Just Sublime!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

RT @ #28400: Difficult to have words preceding and after words? Shoul;d be one and not the other? Should have been "of the heart" (4 years, 6 months ago)

Laurence @ #28317: Did you mean Ascot? Windsor Racecourse is a very minor track ! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28389: well done, it totally stumped me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28392: 3rd grid solved in a row although not 10/10 because I added the wrong letter same as Soozy (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28388: Loved this one, E group clever. Well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28393: enjoyed that, mainly because i got 10/10. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Craig Rolfe @ #583: Me and Tone got these in record time. Top banana. Anyone seen Pat? (4 years, 6 months ago)

My pannier is blue @ #10577: Smooth as silk. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28392: Made me think but didn't solve it. B also works for the in group. Thanks for a good grid to play (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28392: Very good. Canberra group brought back memories (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28394: Finally finished one . Thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Big Boss @ #48: Great stuff. Those palindromes were not all that obvious. (4 years, 6 months ago)

shozzle @ #28401: UbC-HS massive (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28394: Very nice. Up with FC, down with Santa! (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28400: erm? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28398: Soozy, I envy you having all this to discover! Life of Brian is the best. And Now For Something Completely Different is what I’d choose second: it is all the very best sketches from the original TV show. Enjoy! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28393: Great grid, made you think but solvable. Well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28398: Sorry Paul. ‘Parrot’ works! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28399: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28395: lion group floored me (4 years, 6 months ago)

JR @ #6: Encite hasnt been used for 40 years, incite is used now. GBS references is tenuous to say the least. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28398: got the parrot line easy wrote all the words pertaining even norwegian blue but marked me incorrect as i did not add synonyms for dead lol. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28397: good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Dude @ #28397: Decent. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #28399: good grid 'horuxes' not in my field but hey ho. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #28398: I sense a theme throughout here! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28398: Well I didn't know so for me this was fiendish...lol (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28400: good selection of themes. good job (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28392: Enjoyed this grid - got them all except the Sheffield group. The link for the wordy one also works without the H. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28399: Good grid enjoyed trying to solve it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #28399: Easy grid, but i did like the last group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #28393: (4 years, 6 months ago)

ST @ #28375: Amazing puzzgrid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28398: If you know, very easy. If you don’t know, put down your games console and check out something wonderful! 😂 (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27134: I liked the inter- group overlapping into the (red herring) French words (4 years, 6 months ago)

helen @ #28394: So nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #28351: Nice one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28383: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #28357: good one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #28358: that was a fun one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28393: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #28362: that was fun! nice one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #28367: Good one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28392: Enjoyable. I spotted the Norland link (local knowledge!) but couldn’t distinguish that from the Salisbury group. Lots of crossovers but it was a good testing grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #28362: Awesome! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28389: Clever. I didn’t spot the drag group but deep down somewhere I knew it! Good grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #28333: Thanks for the comments. Wrt the Leg group, I was aiming for a Medium level of difficulty, but point taken. Stay safe everyone! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28386: 5*, lovely grid! I spotted the themes early and so it was quite easy. If all clues began with a capital letter, which is fair, it would have strengthened the red herrings. Thanks for submitting :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

SB @ #28374: Thanks! Bonus point if you identified the TV show linking the 4 connections :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28374: Very clever. 3 minutes were not enough for this one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Zen @ #28361: The grid doesn't provide the correct answers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mike M @ #28383: Nice grid. Tough, but not impossible. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28385: Good grid. Hadn’t heard of the nipple thing before. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28387: Sorry if this doesn’t display properly, I copied the format from a previous grid and I think it only works in IOS. If you didn’t get the clues I hope you at least groaned, if not smiled :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #28219: Some nice red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

D @ #28385: Good groups but a bit more variety of connection might be nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28367: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

ChippyD @ #28372: I think the most obvious two-word answer for the "Flea" group should be accepted - I wonder if you mis-typed it? (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28380: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #19164: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #28362: yay! (4 years, 6 months ago)

James82 @ #28381: theme a whole grid around one subject is bad. Even if it is a great film like the Godfather it isn't of general interest anymore than one themed around football would be. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bean should be an acceptable answer @ #27991: Why were all your ANSWERS yelling at us. i agree with helen (4 years, 6 months ago)

peas @ #5552: To be fair Richie Porte is one of the most well known living Tasmanians! He might not be the most well known cyclist but he is up there, too. Most of Froome's tdf wins would not have happened without him. (4 years, 6 months ago)

James82 @ #28377: No, no just no. A grid shouldn't be on one subject, like british quiz shows, or star trek or whatever! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Doug @ #10711: VERY nice touch. I liked it (and it still took a while to work out the group with "jar" in even when I had seen what you had done!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28362: That one felt like a speed-crossword! Good fun :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

g spot stimulation vibrator @ #27988: I all the time սsed to study aticle іn nwws papers buut noww as I ɑm a user of net sso fｒom noѡ I amm using net foг articles, thanks to web. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi1F3FB3p3c (4 years, 6 months ago)

lawner @ #28370: Agree with Nz. Also 'y' is functioning as a vowel here, so it could acknowledge this. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27748: Thanks Wiz- and everybody who's got my back- I am so used to comments from trolls- bought that t- shirt MONTHS ago- I'm big enough and ugly enough to keep doing grids I enjoy setting- people are heckling a free of charge, open- mic night gig- bad form! Any and all may have a go, if folks don't like it they can jog on- no harm no foul. I have nothing to say to the trolls- this message is to anyone bothering to read this and considering either submitting their first grid or breaking out into new territory, formats, styles or ideas. DO NOT BE PUT OFF! It is the variety and range of people from all over the world that make this site wonderful and never boring, especially now when a lot of people need to share, socialise or relieve boredom. Be grateful that this is FREE ENTERTAINMENT which a lot of people work hard on. I'll take any nastiness or criticism, constructive or otherwise, if it means you take a leap and do whatever you want to. I know I'm not for everybody, and I don't try to be. Were not on the telly, there aren't hard rules- if you can fit it in a 4x4 and it works as a unique grid- knock yourself out. G'night, sending love out to everybody xx (4 years, 6 months ago)

alex @ #28367: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nz @ #28370: Sorry, edge doesn't have a silent g, it has a soft one. Otherwise pretty good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lawner @ #28367: Nice one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28334: Yes indeed! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #14995: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28333: Really good grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #28358: Very, very, very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28329: So impressive that you can pull it off at all- warts and all they're still pure cleverness :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28328: Stellar :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15013: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28327: Sooooooooo my cup of tea 5* for daring to go cryptic! (I was getting lonely). Ignore the haters PLEASE because its lovely to be able to solve this type- more please! And a theme, too! Excellent :) :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15017: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28357: Decent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28318: Oh go on then, have another star- for including a false group. Noice! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28360: Great grid - love a theme! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15025: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28345: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28317: Cor! That was tricky! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28362: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28315: good work- powder my least favourite (still ok though) but loved mathematical and the hidden words- right up my boulevard, thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28314: I liked the cup line- got all refs and am British :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28313: agree with comment below but an excellent grid, really stands out from the crowd- clever take on the usual palindrome schtick! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28297: Clever- very hard! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #28358: Very very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28294: Hmmmm- tricky one to score this- I'm actually giving you an extra star for the concepts because I liked the use of different thinking required to answer the music (all together now) group, as well as thinking about lyrics. Execution will come with practice but you could be someone to look out for in terms of original ideas and fun grids- I'll look forward to your next one! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

D @ #8355: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28298: Lovely- simple and fun- good one for kids too! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

D @ #4165: Medals group a bit weak, otherwise very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

D @ #6833: Good but shame the connections aren’t calibrated properly (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28285: good work, plenty of crossovers and original thinking :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15034: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28262: fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28242: Hi eurydice sorry for late reply- Shin is a variety of oak found in N. America. Ankle Bracelet is a device used when someone is under house arrest. The medium setting was down to how other people have graded it- I usually enter "fiendish" otherwise I get complaints- it's a kind of "you have been warned" disclaimer! Thanks as always for feedback all :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #28362: Lovely, but not hard (on the mohs scale or generally). I do like a theme. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28181: Hi Fionark/ Mark- yep, sugar balloons are an inflated, sugar/ gelatin mixture- novelty edible balloons. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for your comment :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Colmac @ #28334: Really great palindromes. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15045: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

JC @ #28359: Can positively be prefixed by 'ap'? Enjoyed the grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15048: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15049: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15052: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15067: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Colmac @ #28345: Can I apologise for Floa’s sycophantic comment. She is my daughter! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Floa @ #28345: I love this grid, obviously done by someone who not just intellectual but also has a knowledge of popular culture. Truly a marvel, thank you so much for this. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15092: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Colmac @ #28345: Thanks for the feedback, Lawner. It’s my first ever wall. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #15097: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #28356: The hearth group was very neat, leading to good red herrings. Nice links with the III group. The Caleb group was quite niche though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon @ #28252: Still not sure how I got the bottom two lines (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #28351: The poko group makes this fiendish in my opinion - I've never heard of it. Still, a challenging wall if you know it (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #28350: Think Eggs is stretching it a bit TBH, and wine is not particularly special in that list. Nearly a really good wall, but those clues made it not quite work (4 years, 6 months ago)

housemouse @ #28288: brilliant! But difficult! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28318: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Howard Sprenger @ #28357: Much harder! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anon @ #18793: We had "black" instead of "shaved": black dog (= depression), black ice, blackbeard (pirate), blacklegs (strike breakers) (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28330: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28333: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo @ #28348: Very tricky. Not sure why ‘The’ has been inserted before ‘Hill’ and ‘Top’ in the first group. Bit misleading (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28343: I live in Melbourne - never heard of Gold Cup (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28344: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28346: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28351: thanks good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bonjour Boris! @ #7822: Good grid. Well done!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

nick @ #28331: ringo was not an original beatle (4 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #28333: Agreed with Mister Tom. Good category, poor choices for examples. Off the top of my head: "On," "An," and "Stat." (4 years, 6 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #28346: A satisfying solve. Thank you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

N @ #28313: Inflammable and flammable are synonyms. Both are correct. (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #10494: I like the "cold" group (4 years, 6 months ago)

rand @ #28341: Good quiz, a bit anglocentric which makes it a little harder. Like the gladiators and land rovers but good job! (4 years, 6 months ago)

christo @ #28327: Excellent, really enjoyed it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lawner @ #28345: One of the best on the whole site. Genius decoy group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Margaret Karliner @ #8793: couldn't get the port final line, but a good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

SB @ #28331: Well spotted! I only noticed it myself after I had submitted the grid, sorry (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #28288: Nice one but only 4/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fionark @ #28172: Noice! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fionark @ #28181: Balloons???!?!? < From Mark Otherwise lots of fun :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #28333: Got the leg group but wasn't a fan of its other .embers tbh because there's so many words like that- adding the suffix doesn't change them- and they rather stood out and didn't interact that I could see with the rest of the grid. Leg was good but there are other words like it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fionark @ #28206: Noice! Probably not a hard grid but fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fionark @ #28259: Noice! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fionark @ #28307: Really Nice, thanks for putting the explanations against each. Not heard of the Casper one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28329: The football one - I appreciate it's a bit of a stretch, try 28328 and you'll see why! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #28327: I always enjoy this grid style. I still don't understand all the individual answers but once I saw the pattern it was easy enough to sort out. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #21539: Yamaha are much more famous for pianos / keyboards, so I thought musical instruments was actually a better answer. (4 years, 6 months ago)

chouchou @ #28331: Should accept Justice League for the DC one (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28331: clever! batman threw us..lol (4 years, 6 months ago)

Malc @ #28330: Really enjoyable - nicely pitched. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28333: Excellent grid, difficult but logical. Best of all no celebs, Cluedo or Harry Potter !! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28298: yay 10/10 fun grid thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28305: Enjoyed playing thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28327: Superb - really enjoyed that 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28325: Nice ideas. I will quibble about Macbeth. He is most definitely not a detective. He is a PC, and not in CID. Also the stories are whimsical, and about a community rather than being in the classic detective genre, so no get out there. Strike was clever though - kicking myself for not spotting that one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28307: Great fun grid to do. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28310: fun grid, nurse group foxed us (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28329: I am into football, and I’m afraid that group doesn’t work for me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28328: This wall is part of a matched pair with 28329 Thanks soozy! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28326: Great grid, well thought out. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28329: apologies for the typo - should be Charlie! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28327: Brilliant!! never seen one like this before. Really enjoyed it well done you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lin @ #28329: Charile?? Didn't like the football one (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28328: So clever to use the same 16 wordsfor 2 completely different groups. I applaud you sir or madam (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #28329: "Animals" seems a weak group; a pint of water could have been stronger. As for Juve and MCi - are these accepted abbreviations? Not fair if you're not into football... (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28329: Said it was easy and it is if you don't over think it like we did...lol (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #8923: Nice variety of groups (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #1379: A nice gentle solve. I liked the fore- group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28330: great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jane @ #3757: Many thanks. It was a good challenge but a barberry isn't an edible fruit in the way the others are; it's another name for the shrub berberis, though birds do eat the berries. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #28298: Nice one, just enough confounders to make it a challenge. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #25774: Agree with lorna, thanks for posting. Loved it, (nothing to do with the fact I got 10/10) 😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pipe @ #28299: Common typefaces should allow “fonts” as an answer (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #28299: Nice ideas (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28299: Good wall, but one point. Should have had 'font' as a key word on one link. I think that's what most people would answer. Enjoyed it, though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

James82 @ #28283: Just no, a terrible grid, this isn't of general interest. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28288: Fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28238: It's a shame- this was super hard and clever but a double entry means it's a non unique solution (I've done that too) Amazing effort though- looking forward to your next one :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28241: I won't go into the facts as it's all been said- but hopefully this will be useful to you in terms of grid setting- the group that didn't have a capital initial stood out, and also because one was in the singular and one plural. Clever to have lots fruit types and countries, could be good for potential crossovers, but you end up with a very easy grid if one of each pair are easy to separate. Hope that is constructive advice- I'm no expert- just on this website way too much! Best of luck with future grids, I'll look forward to playing! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28236: So many Shirleys! Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28228: Incredible- either of these are top notch as grids go- together I honestly think they're the cleverest thing on this whole site. They deserve 5 stars each time, please keep doing them, they just blow me away! :) :) :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28227: can't believe you've made another pair! Brilliant :) 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gaffer @ #28292: Good grid. I gave myself a point for double vowel, but yours was better (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gaffer @ #28298: Patrick David etc are also among the first names of Edward VIII. I enjoyed this grid but made it hard for myself!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Steve Mitchell @ #1396: Loved it (4 years, 6 months ago)

tiger king @ #28230: J: Don't know how i didn't notice i mistyped Gandhi. Thx for correction RT: Jahn, sorry hear in the US we tend to use the terms interchangeable but I noticed that world leaders should have also been accepted so if you put that in please give yourself the point. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Steve Mitchell @ #27714: Cool, liked Fruit/Mobile Red Herring (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark Reynolds @ #28265: Good work! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Reds @ #7697: An absolute masterpiece. The fact that red herrings do not abound makes this eminently achievable while the difficulty of some of the clues makes it massively frustrating. Blues, I'll have a bowl of whatever you had when you woke up this morning. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Expatade @ #28260: Trying to be way too smart. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #28128: Aaagghh! Fell at the last hurdle! Nice one! 7/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

kangaroodee @ #28263: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #28257: good, intelligent grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #28230: I liked this! Except I think you've misspelled Gandhi. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #28241: Interesting terminology (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kate Volker @ #27996: Tricky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #28242: Flummoxed by this one; I think it's harder than "Medium"! Still don't get what "shin" has to do with American oak or "ankle" with House arrest... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #28209: Excellent grid. Good clues for solving. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #28219: Good grid. Like the connections. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #4582: A little easier than some, but still enjoyable. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #7062: Nice wall, not too difficult. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #27930: Good example of a hard wall - makes you think laterally without being just obscure for the sake of it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #28241: The answer to the India group is wrong. Same with Strawberry. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28242: Excellent 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #28242: Very nice... even though I couldn't figure our one group. Original and fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aarya Nanda @ #28241: Amazing this puzzle blew my mind and easily outwitted me (4 years, 6 months ago)

And the duck says what @ #28240: Poor descriptions of links, no red herrings and inaccurate information (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28242: This is a re-submission as there was a mistake on the last version- apologies! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28239: there is a mistake on this due to the spelling of "uncle"- I have re-submitted with a new clue for this group- apologies! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28223: Excellent - loved this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28212: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28230: Decent wall. Please note the difference between Head of State and Head of Government. In some countries (eg the USA) these are combined into one office (thought not to be a good idea by many political theorists), but in most countries these are different offices (eg India, Germany, UK and Israel). In Germany the head of government is the Chancellor, and the head of state is the President. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #25479: Failed to resolve the wall, got two lines, but found the all the links. Very original. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28219: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28237: I suspect that there can’t be a unique solution when you simply have 16 single letters as we use those single letters in multiple ways - chemical elements, SI abbreviations, etc.. But there definitely can’t be a unique solution when you include the same letter twice. You’ve got 2 Cs I’m afraid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28219: Good one, never heard of smokey eye, you learn something every... Thanks for posting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kim JONG @ #28237: Really nice puzzle (4 years, 6 months ago)

eagle @ #28219: i actually say potato not potato (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28236: Bit odd this one. The more you know, the more red herrings there are, the harder it is. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Will @ #189: Good grid if you're a fan of music, but of little interest to those of us who aren't. Imagine an Only Connect that was just music questions. Ugh... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #1396: Technically "half" moon is properly called a "quarter" and the one where you add "a" is brilliant. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #6140: Said "Music" instead of "Dances" and I'm not sure if there's a calypso dance. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #23271: didnt accept horse (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #28207: Christ almighty, it's all colors (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #23347: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #23694: Final category is silly (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #27541: Too obscure some of these. Self indulgent. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28228: This is a double-wall. The other of the pair is 28227 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28227: This is a double-wall. The other of the pair is 28228 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gabriel Gonzalez @ #28220: Got the four groups, but didn't know the drag queens. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #28204: Far too niche - no-one will enjoy it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #28225: Good wall, but I typed in “doctors” and it didn’t accept that,p. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ginge @ #28219: Eh???? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #28219: Esso Blue!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #28218: could've avoided the controversy by just accepting "clergy" if you can edit, but otherwise rather satisfying, actually. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #27111: Good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #27748: Please stop submitting terrible grids. You really don't follow the rules that only connect sets, and this is really what the site is about. Anyone can throw in 4 anagrams, hidden words or stuff, but, you just don't get it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #28212: Like this grid - just enough to puzzle over (4 years, 6 months ago)

RBR45 @ #28220: the Asia grouping is a little (lot) obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28218: Nice grid Actually jay30, there are vicars in the Catholic Church. While not as common, so parish priests are not usually known as vicars (unlike say in the C of E), there are quite a few positions where the term vicar is used. The first one being the Vicar of Christ, ie the Pope. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28216: Very cleverly constructed. I didn’t have the knowledge of that musical but fair play this is general knowledge. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28220: Really great grid, except the Asia group which seems very niche. Otherwise 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

jay30 @ #28218: the correct answer to line 2 is Christian clergy. There is no position of "Vicar" in the catholic church. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28207: Good grid, thanks for posting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pipe @ #11619: I’m assuming the Leicester Mercury? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28206: great grid- very good tight anagrams, tidy work! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28201: lovely, I enjoyed that. Willie Rushton performing "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" is a joy to behold, if you haven't already :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28209: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28207: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

R @ #10711: Clever! Love it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rob C @ #5977: Rob B, once this lockdown is over I suggest you get out more! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Robinhood @ #17775: Found the hood connection to be rather untidy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #25490: Excellent, amazed I managed it. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28180: Lovely! 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28201: Excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #1166: Varied grid. Got the last two just in time. Always glad to complete a Hard grade! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28177: Superb 5* grid One of those where you have to work out all the other groups first, so you’re left with the papers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28175: Nice The fork group was clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28183: Only got half of that one. A toughie. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28186: Excellent B made me laugh 😂 (4 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #28195: yup (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28177: Hi Soozy, ditto for me, double duh !!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

SAM @ #28196: The connection between the 'Rum' group is you can add Sc, not Sr (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rich @ #28195: Gases (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28196: Lovely wall! Tough to get the Dry group! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #28176: Poor answer recognition. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #3946: Dreadful answer recognition. Annoying. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28173: your grids get better every time! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28171: nice red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28172: Fun- easy but still not lacking in good red herrings, lovely work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28169: Had two goes and still only got the chem and letters groups- thought it was ad d although pud would be stretchy! Totally defeated, I was looking for more periodic table and missed the simpler answers. Baffling but very original (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28168: I really enjoyed that- nicely challenging- a bit of extra effort and it showed :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bazil @ #28186: Brilliant, devious, lots of overlaps (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #28183: Actually it wasn't harder, but that is because I had done the previous similar version first! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28164: lovely work- everything tucks back in neatly, with on- grid clues and everything- this is how to do an easy/ medium with elegance- well said bloss. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #28182: Nice one. Needed two goes- and a cheeky google for Ipecac (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28161: I loved the 4th idea- similar things have been done, but not much and you did it well. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28159: I love that you two do this together! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28154: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #25701: Agree with lorna, novel way. I couldn't solve the wall, but found linking easy. Thanks for posting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #25663: Good grid, thanks for posting (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28183: This is a revised version- I think it's harder but it has (I think) now got a unique solution. Apologies :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #28168: Nice work. I didn't get the specifics of the Frankenstein group, so a 7 for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BazG @ #28166: Tough, but some really good group-styles (4 years, 6 months ago)

Expatade @ #28176: Neither democrat nor republican worked. Otherwise good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28182: Apologies- I made this from leftovers from the last one as I had to rewrite it- it wasn't unique- and I've realised that due to "golden" neither is this! I will try to resubmit. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Expatade @ #28172: Clues, red herrings and connections are fab. however the solutions fail on the simplest things. Didn't accept board (4 years, 6 months ago)

Expatade @ #28175: The left is a bit tenuous otherwise good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28173: Good grid, failed on the blue one 😕 Thanks for posting (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28180: Arthur group foxed us but enjoyed playing your grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

bert @ #17697: comming from the west-country, never heard of "hard cider" - rough cider sure but not hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28179: Found this one a little obscure and would have been nice to have the answers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Eric D @ #28179: Categories should be consistent e.g. all anagrams (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28178: Great wall even though moulin link floored me (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #28164: easy but elegant (4 years, 6 months ago)

chakra @ #28173: Tough, 4/10 for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #15871: I found the squares and boat parts rather too easy; then "skele" not being a real word was a giveaway for the _ton ending (otherwise well disguised); then having another ending puzzle was repetitive. Still fun though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

chakra @ #28174: 10/10 on this one, really fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28171: Couldn't solve it but still enjoyed playing it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28128: Very good, liked the Red Herring group. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28125: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28118: nice to see a theme (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28116: Excellent grid, very tricky but do-able. Spent a good deal of my college days stuffed up against those players and still struggled with that group- (I hasten to add I played 2nd row- nothing dodgy!) :0 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28115: good mattt (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #28129: (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28056: So hard, but do-able in hindsight. Really good work :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28099: A lovely, clues- on- the- grid puzzle. Well done Jahn :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28092: soozy, I think you are capable of writing a fiendish, let alone solving one! This is a terrific grid, I enjoyed it a lot, thanks! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

captain @ #28129: red rum isn't a palindrome, so we were a bit confused as otherwise we got it. nice one though (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28091: Trumpton maybe? As in Kids TV (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28080: Took me 1 1/2 goes due to trouble with a tricky Duckworth, but got there in the end (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28118: Like the Miles Davis clues !! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28122: Very good Terms needed to be wider. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28077: very good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28074: I adored this grid. It was so full of inspired ideas- particular favourite was bankcard. Nothing unfair here- it just required a sideways view. I failed- hats off. Stars galore, sir! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28073: Stellar grid, knew what to look for (though I thought the cars were planes!) but had to work for it- so herringey! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mag @ #20635: Didn’t accept Davies for first category. (4 years, 6 months ago)

test @ #28116: I think s***m should be allowed for 1st answer (not sure if people can see these, so asterisks are for spoiler alerts) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28068: That's what I love to see- new ideas! I mean, I didn't get it, but I appreciate it. I like observational groups- I also lack some of those keys but lovely idea. Thanks for making me feel delightfully thick! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28066: Well done Jericho! I'm always pleased to hear that people won my grids :) :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28077: Really good one, only managed 3/10. 🤔 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo @ #28128: Not too difficult but clever links. Thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28121: Got all the groups, but only three of the links. I can see it now, but I don't think I would have got it all day long. Thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28066: Enjoyed that. Very happy with a 10/10. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #4667: I clicked several times on old new borrowed blue and was told I was wrong. This was because there were two olds and that didn't work. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #21012: Straightforward. Full marks with almost 2 mins left to play. medium level I think. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #27930: Good red herrings and I knew two categories but couldn't get the combinations right in the time. Slightly query the Sunday group as some of it seemed less than definitive but I guess that is sour grapes on my part. I think this justifies being in the hard section. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Romeo @ #6140: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Romeo @ #10577: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #28113: Very enjoyable,thanx! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #28068: I have a keyboard in front of me. I has a dollar sign, but that is the only one of your symbols group - there is no sun, padlock or aeroplane. Since you've already apologised for the scrabble group, we'll say no more about it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #28110: Said childminder instead of nanny and didn't get a point :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #28073: Well I learned something today - I'd never heard of Mumbles or a Triumph Dove. It looks a lot like an MG BGT to me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Birdbrain @ #28091: trum-ton? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #28078: Excellent. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Irene @ #7367: Too personal (4 years, 6 months ago)

God bless you @ #28056: This is a bad grid.it doesn't make sense at all I think you should retry it (4 years, 6 months ago)

wortmore @ #28089: okay thus i have completed this (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28066: soozy- based on your grids I'd never call your brain little! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Quizzler @ #21020: The answers have not been included - scroll over the question mark and the definitions don't appear. (4 years, 6 months ago)

chakra @ #28080: Fun one, thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28038: Good wall, never knew about Otho ! So looked it up. Know more about the Ancient Romans now 😁 Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

chakra @ #28078: Fun puzzle, enjoyed it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

wortmore @ #28087: epic bro this was a joy to play (4 years, 6 months ago)

wortmore @ #28083: very good very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28088: Fun grid to do (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #28070: Really enjoyed this but got the skein group connection wrong even though I was right as I didn’t word it exactly so please can I have full marks retrospectively? Thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28080: It was indeed Sooz! I chucked about 50 words in the solutions box to try to cover all explanations for what is so obvious :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28080: vj day group was hard to explain. But good fun grid nonetheless (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mojo @ #28074: Stumped (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28073: Very good Got stuck on Stag (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28078: Good grid enjoyed solving it (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28057: Yay! 10/10 Nice to do one that you feel you well at...lol great job (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #28074: Loved the pins group, but I thought that Laser was a bit weak in the measuring group. Lidar would have worked, or Laser Range Finder, but laser per se is the equivalent of "legs" - because you can use legs to pace out a distance, or pebble, because you can measure the depth of a hole by timing how long a pebble takes to fall down it. The measuring devices are the range finder, the pacing and the timing, not the laser, the legs or the pebble. (4 years, 6 months ago)

wortmore @ #28075: hell yeah this is great (4 years, 6 months ago)

wortmore @ #28071: I am a nicer man now, this is pretty cool (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28069: Very good intelligent, challenging grid. No celebs or Harry Potter !!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28066: Thought I would just see what a fiendish one was like....lol too rich for my little brain but well put together for ones that solve them. I agree with coren that an extra time option would be great (4 years, 6 months ago)

Why the Swearing? @ #24559: Foul language. Disappointing. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28067: Good grid, didn't solve it but enjoyed playing it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #28074: Insultingly un-obvious. Difficult. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #28074: Very good Bracelet was clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28070: great grid, just right in difficulty, (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28074: Great grid, didn't solve the wall but got 2 groups, bankcard threw us completely...lol (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28069: I reckon the most difficult grids to set up are those where there’s a common theme, in this case place names. It’s so hard to avoid a “non-unique” solution. In this case you could argue that Colchester lets you down, having been the scene of at least two major battles, (even before Leeds fans went there for an FA Cup match). (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28073: That works Sooz. Give yourself a point. The only one it doesn’t work for is the red herring. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28073: It seems that you could just about exchange one of the solutions for a group to “White” , Coren, though it does mean stretching the category as far as an obscure Bongo Movie, whatever that is. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28074: Grenade group was very good. Enjoyed that, thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28073: Had the seaside link as change first letter to T!! lol Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28073: Good grid. I was sure there was a white group somewhere. I’ve also found out I’ve been misspelling Maria in that usage, so I learnt something! Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Wordie @ #28070: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28066: Tough but well crafted. I sometimes wish there was an option to have an extra minute if needed! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Margaret Karliner @ #10577: nice and easy, a god one to start on. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #28067: Very neat! Liked it :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

chakra @ #27991: Thanks — I'm glad you liked it. It was fun to make! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #28040: Good grid, nearly got it all. Thought they were all baseball teams !! (Note to self, brush up on US sports) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Knockers @ #28067: The fifth Beatles could all be famous Peters too (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28024: Surely one of the worst sitcoms of all time - on so many levels. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28067: morning Jahn! Great grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27541: I'd give yourself full credit for that peas! (great name). I'm glad you find the tough ones rewarding- that's the idea! I don't make them because I'm mean and nasty- they're more fun for me to construct and hopefully get people thinking differently. Thanks for your lovely feedback :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

velvetsmog @ #28037: Thanks folks. I had a hard time describing that last category. I'll do better next time. :D (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ezra @ #445: OK Barnaby, easy for SOME (4 years, 6 months ago)

mary @ #28057: easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gamma @ #4582: I encourage you to think of synonyms of groups to include as keywords! For example, performers or entertainers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gamma @ #2297: I'm there with Polly: I put carpentry for the woodworking tools! I encourage you to think of synonyms and include them with your keywords. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #28041: Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #28051: Too hard for us!!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

peas @ #27541: Wow 10/10! This one must have been easier than your usual grids, Lorna! Either that or I'm finally beginning to grasp the right way of thinking through your puzzles. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ben @ #4772: Hmm.. I guess you could have the shirts, but you have 8 up there, in two complete groups, that could be followed by ball. All of the "shirts" category could be followed by ball. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Soeli @ #1942: Urgh! Fancy not getting the sweets. I'm kicking myself over that one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28024: I will not have gossip in this jungle! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Soeli @ #27367: I managed to get the egg reference, although I have no idea what a Nuremberg or Curate's egg is! I thought there was something to do with gold, but only figured that out once they'd all been sorted. As for the rest, pfft. I must be a right doughnut! :-) I'll blame it on the wine... (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28023: I like the fact that one of your groups had a message :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28021: some great crossovers. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #28020: Excellence yet again 5* despite my failure- I love how wiggly Verdi is- chased it all over the shop, hence me not completing. Really good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28040: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #28041: Got all the combinations, but never heard of the novel ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Soeli @ #3712: That was tough. I knew there was a five connection, I knew there was a pulp fiction connection and I knew there was a park connection, but I couldn't work out what went with what! And then I put actors instead of pulp fiction. Pfft. That was excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Soeli @ #9875: I got lucky selecting the types of weather at the first attempt. Then the rest fell into place easy. Otherwise I might have been there forever getting annoyed about rain! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #26351: Oh shucks I put time for the blue group. Good grid, thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Soeli @ #12552: Nil points! That was tough. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #26369: Quite easy but entertaining, thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Soeli @ #6833: That last connection was tough - I did not guess the connection and not because I put in the wrong term, I just didn't get it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #26290: You were very forgiving on the group that needed an 's' and 'the' Forgot to add the 'the' still scored the points :-) A very good grid, thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Alison @ #28041: Nice level of difficulty (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28025: I like the puzzle but unfortunately it doesn’t have a unique solution. Quite a few languages mess it up for you :-( (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28024: Didn't manage any groups in the time..lol..but enjoyed getting the links (4 years, 6 months ago)

Baby Yoda @ #28026: Good job! 👍😃 (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27954: Fun grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

47294759262 @ #28022: Easy wall to solve, but a hard group with the songs Really enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28005: How many of those cocktails did you enjoy before posting this? :D (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28011: Sly. Niiiice. Now I'll have to listen to There's A Riot Goin' On... (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #28011: Sorry for the minor error. There's no significance at all in the one beginning with a lower case letter. I just missed the 'shift' key. Unluckily it's one beginning with an L which now looks like an I (eye) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #28003: Excellent grid. Not sure about the Zuckerberg link, though. It's just a business. The car link was a beauty. Might have been more helpful to have a specific model (Fury?), but I liked that one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27979: great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #28005: Nice to do an easier one, you have one answer twice but never mind it was still fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #25552: Excellent. Got 7/10. The homophones fooled me. Well thought out. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The SIWCFS creator @ #27631: The author of this must be a right tool (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kristoby @ #27930: Those days of the week were fiendish! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Personal Pipe @ #27961: Good grid. Super Sunday for the Brits, life exists outside of ones parameters, and yes I am a dick. If the robots knew you only had to select a rabbit eh? I think option two is rude (4 years, 6 months ago)

Personal Pipe @ #27963: I'm with Lorna, made me chuckle. JR calm down (4 years, 6 months ago)

Personal Pipe @ #27967: Needs a rethink (4 years, 6 months ago)

chakra @ #27963: The books are all by John Steinbeck (4 years, 6 months ago)

JR @ #27963: what on earth is the books connection? one random word from a title is not a connection (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27954: 7/10 with complete guesswork Enjoyed it though, thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #27896: nice idea (4 years, 6 months ago)

Debs @ #27849: Still getting the hang of making these! Kicked myself for having the same word twice - rookie error! And ‘wind’ isn’t a homonym as it’s not spelled differently :( Next one will be better... (4 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #27969: Good crossover (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27964: Nice one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27961: Super Sunday? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27960: Over my head (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27967: Quiver = break?? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27961: Fairly easy but OK - animal link a bit tenuous - plenty of words available to be just insects or birds etc (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27967: Very tenuous links - didn't enjoy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rupurt @ #27951: I dided this one eazy (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27961: lovely (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27960: Mr Flibble loved this. 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Angie @ #27764: So did I! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27937: Not rubbish- I agree it's not unique- it is really best if there is only one way a grid could go- having one big theme is such a great idea but it makes it really hard as a setter to separate the groups and make sure they can only swap as red herrings rather than a full replace/ exchange. But hat's off for trying it- it's not easy- is this a first attempt? I don't remember the name. I still enjoyed trying to untangle them. Good luck on your future grids :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27934: Although I've seen president/ car hybrids a few times before, you did it really well, something of a new and different quality :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27951: sorry... AMEN! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27951: NAME (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27736: Either one of those would have got a high score from me- excellent quality grids even without the extra layer, as it is I am now convinced that you are from some superior alien civilisation. These probably won't deserve the praise that they deserve- let me make that up in a small individual way here. Thank you :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #48: those palindromes got me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Myfanwy Alexander @ #3608: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27734: Ok so that's one... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #8355: Brilliant wall - loved the pan group (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #3757: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #48: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ytuoms @ #27236: That's a fair criticism. It was the first grid I submitted to this site, and if I were to submit it again I'd certainly expand on some of those categories. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #8403: this is a very good one - thoroughly enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #3038: Daft (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #4582: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #2297: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27923: will do- ta! BIG fan of these. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27748: Eurydice- thanks for commenting. To explain the extra superfluous looking words- this grid had three false groups: UK Moors, including West Pennine, Sedgemoor, Hexhamshire (which I misspelled) and Dart, Paper- including the paper money (examples thrown in to lead you astray), paper dart, weight, buff/ type printed; Leagues, including champions, ivy, justice, and any place name that may look like it could fit. Hailsham was a red herring as it contains both hidden words, Poison sedge is a toxic plant and fit the false group too, hence that choice- three hidden word groups in one grid was a bit samey, yes, but that was the compromise I made in order to fit in the precede, succeed and types of three false groups. I always appreciate your feedback eurydice, as you are always polite and constructive. I hope that this explanation removes any confusion about my choices- there was a lot going on so I compromised on style a wee bit but the effort did go in! :) Take care and keep well x (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #2296: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #8441: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27932: the £20 group was lovely and lateral (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kevlexi @ #21120: You need to insert the n in the answer steNcil not stecil. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #27923: I set them to private so I think you have to type the numbers into the browser. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27923: I can't find them anywhere- can you? I really wanted to try more of these! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27923: its genius. I will look for the other pair immediately! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

nnnn @ #27951: I agree with Joe (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27897: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27888: Yet again I have to agree with lorna. Thank you Jahn and Esq (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #27937: Rubbish... lots of items could be swapped.. there is no unique solution. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27916: Superb gridding. Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

brian @ #26984: enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27930: Never heard of "Lazy Sunday" or "Lazy Town"... And shouldn't "luna" be "lunar"? Wouldn't confound the Harry Potter characters then of course! I did it somehow, but it was more by lucky guesswork at the end. (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27748: What are the "e.g fiver tenner" and "west" doing in the hidden number clues? And we have hidden weather as well. And why "poison-sedge"? I really like some of your puzzles, but this didn't really work for me. Sorry! (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27748: What are the "e.g fiver tenner" and "west" doing in the hidden number clues? And we have hidden weather as well. And why "poison-sedge"? I really like some of your puzzles, but this didn't really work for me. Sorry! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #27923: P.s. grids 27734 and 27736 are also pairs (4 years, 6 months ago)

brian @ #27056: Ginger is not a root (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #27923: Thanks Lorna! I'm probably rushing them a bit, it's tricky coming up with 8 interesting groups that interlock well enough! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JT @ #27930: By some miracle I got them all right !!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gladiolus @ #27944: Good grid, with some nice red herrings. Thank uou. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27923: each (4 years, 6 months ago)

c @ #27930: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27924: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27928: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27923: wow- I mean that is an epic effort, to get both to work like that- I have to say neither are up to your usual high standard, this one makes more sense to me than last, but I am SUPER impressed that you pulled it off at all, and as compromises go, it's not that much (I've done worse!). For sheer skill, originality, ingenuity and bravery, 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27934: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27917: that's why it was hard, and clever, and good. Thanks for all, Jahn! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27931: Decent grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27921: I liked the Greek homophones and the number group was clever :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27930: Excellent Great crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27917: Glad you liked it. Hardest part was making sure it was unique: these folks got around! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Troyster68 @ #27882: Not as hard as anticipated but still a good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27917: oo I soooooo wanted to get this one right, big comedy fan, I really struggled, but it was great. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27918: same. Fun grid, nice to see a different spin on the old tonic sol fa bit (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27916: brilliant, I love a false group. Tapas style grid- had a bit of everything! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27907: sheer excellence. nice Subbuteo game ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Matt miller @ #27906: (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27896: something a bit different! well done :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #24439: I didn't think arse was universal! (4 years, 6 months ago)

cat @ #27923: hmm, sorry after Usher doesn't soften the blow!! and the last group was a bit dodgy too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27916: Good false bird group (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27921: Good range but not medium to us more like difficult but enjoyed solving it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27897: Good fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27920: Difficult and a bit obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

Blue bird @ #27923: You posted the same puzzle twice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Esq @ #27888: Delightful (mainly because I solved it double quick :). Brightened my lunchtime here in the manic NHS (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27913: I thought this was really good. I got the Godot group though not the reason, but that’s OK. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27902: Very good. Rent is certainly a synonym for rip and tear (the veil of the temple was rent in twain) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27835: Thank you Lorna!!😀 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27904: The ones with prefix can also have at least 2 suffixes (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27906: Footballers didnt accept footballers and the year thing was so obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

SGS-CM @ #27913: I am the creator of this grid. Sorry for forcing you to endure that. my teacher challenged my to make an impossibly hard one so I did. I accidentally put that it was of interest to a general audience. Once again sorry it was avery nitpicky grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27886: nice links and a lovely hiding in plain sight group :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27885: 5* brilliant, fiendish. I fell down on golf knowledge, dismissed black swan as I couldn't find the others, but proud I got the C's. Extremely challenging :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Paidon @ #27896: Great and fun grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #8618: Lovely mix of groups and red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27880: beautiful work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hubby @ #27907: Loved it. Awesome grid that just got the better of me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hubby @ #27909: Good grid, although I am not sure Zita is a particularly famous Saint ;-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hubby @ #27908: Decent grid. Simple and possibly needed some more crossovers, but enjoyable. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27898: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Graham @ #27902: Oh my god!!!! Also, is 'rent' a synonym for 'cut'? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27882: Nice grid - neat to include your ‘handle’. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27891: Nice links (4 years, 6 months ago)

Linda @ #6833: (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #27898: I was trying to get something more than "shapes" for the group with the sphere in it. It felt like a bit of a weak connection. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Linda @ #2748: Very good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27872: perfect! 5* Stylish, novel, clever and a lot of fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27871: Inspired use of a false group. Well played (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27838: Good grid - got the connections but couldn’t resolve - neat red herrings ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kate Volker @ #27870: Wow, I’m so bad at these! It was fun though.... (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27869: I LOVED this- a sideways look at the whole game. see how many people try to edit you! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27866: another great one, jolly! III really made me smile and left the group which looked so daunting at first all on its own, the RN gave me the link, so not as scary as I thought! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27859: Don't worry- once I sussed it it didn't interfere too much! Such a shame we can't edit, but this was still lovely (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27864: lovely wordplay (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27849: Wonderful idea- if I may, do be careful of entering the same word twice as it makes a grid have a non unique solution- maybe keep it as a red herring- if it could fit two groups but doesn't it makes the grid nice and tricky! I liked the overarching theme and the wordplay, really good effort. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27855: my favourite too (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27851: oh, clap clap wonderful grid! 5* especially loved the box and truth lines. Lateral and original :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27842: Good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27836: novel idea (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27835: this one is awesome, jahn! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joy @ #27898: Must be hard to verify connection as did not accept 'triangular' as a correct answer. Good wall however! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27880: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27877: 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27891: 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27888: Oh no - I thought I’d got all the options on that one (primates hominids apes) - missed out simians! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #26449: Good grid. Fluffed the last one, put air instead of mine 😩 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ezra @ #1396: Pretty diverting! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Equestrian statue @ #27864: The bedlam group should have allowed "chaos" and "disorder" as a n answer. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Equestrian statue @ #27888: Any reason to deny simians for the apes one? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27888: Hard for me. I found only two groups. But fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dan McDaid @ #27891: Excellent grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27842: Good grid with neat herrings. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #8355: didnt accept bands (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27866: Nice grid - I paid the price for my x-factor aversion ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #4165: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dan McDaid @ #27773: Elementary! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #6833: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #6140: happy 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #2748: didnt accept keyboard (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #583: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27887: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #10577: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27835: Cheers Dodger! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27877: Good grid - not easy, but fathomable ! It is a bug that you can’t edit your own grids, cos we all can make mistakes. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27884: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27869: ‘Positive personal qualities attributes’ incorrect denied me a 10, otherwise top grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27869: Good grid. Very easy! 32 seconds! Good groups but not a lot of crossover. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27835: Good grid - seems perfectly ok, though Buttercup group is on my list to google ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marshmallow @ #27884: Julian was Roman Emperor from 361 to 363 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27836: Liked this ! Quality grid after trying some dodgy ones, thanks ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #26707: The SI unit of length is metre not meter. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27855: Loved the punk group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27845: Good grid - hard to group, easier to connect ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27851: Very good The corner group was great (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27882: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #27884: Julian? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27882: good crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #4582: By 'eck, find the rabbit! Where's there's mucky mouths, there's brass... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27872: Really enjoyed this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #27877: Trillium - this amended grid is completely typed up from scratch with me changing my mistake on the first one(278730). Once a grid is submitted it can't be changed. I rushed the first one so I could go out for the 8 - o - clock clap. Hope everyone else did. (4 years, 6 months ago)

hippy50 @ #27884: Lots of confusion. Good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

and @ #27422: omg, 4 words with the same letters. that's one group. random made up stuff? yeah, that's the others. terrible. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne @ #27866: Brilliant (4 years, 6 months ago)

and @ #27134: what? Hector Toeclips? the idea is to include real words. Why not esting . why am I immediately able to choose one group of 4 as a totally meaningless anagram every time. Please stop submitting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

david @ #27877: nice grid. never heard of quark cheese was the only thing that messed me up (4 years, 6 months ago)

Owlotron @ #11619: Excellent. (4 years, 6 months ago)

james @ #27624: I put europeans (4 years, 6 months ago)

Owlotron @ #7712: Very good. DIdn't get the German part but enjoyable. (4 years, 6 months ago)

james @ #27869: oooh tricksy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27877: Phill99, can you tell me how we can amend our own grids? I haven't seen anything about that. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #27865: Very good. Intelligent use of the red herring. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27834: loved it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #26806: Well done, I got 7/10. The blue group threw me completely. Good grid, thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

WatcherMark @ #27868: What a toughie. I had no clue. Great job. (4 years, 6 months ago)

WatcherMark @ #27872: 5/10. Great wall. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #27872: Roobarb was the title of the show - not Roobarb and Custard. But a good grid nonetheless (4 years, 6 months ago)

Juliet Ibbotson @ #27870: It was fun i knew a link was juliet bit i couldnt work out which ones were that link! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JD @ #27865: Excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #27877: Amended version (4 years, 6 months ago)

Super brad @ #27800: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #74: Very easy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #76: Wretched grid. I'm from Stoke and Leek is not in Shropshire. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #27873: One of the 'butters' should be yogurt - will re-submit (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #85: Very easy. Synonyms rejected. Christmas Jones ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #87: Wretched grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

baz @ #27851: Really clever, great job! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #27864: Cities should be allowed, as that's what they all are. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bert @ #1844: so just the word "gloves" doesnt count for "types of gloves" !?!?!?! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #8769: Lovely grid - didn't get two groups but got reason for three. Polish group thwarted me. A challenging one and enjoyed it all the more. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #27854: Bit niche this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #27367: Full marks with 26 secs remaining. Fairly easy apart from spending a good few seconds deliberating the Spring Out group as not familiar with fish in that context so had doubts. Good quality but not fiendish. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #27422: All done with 1.12 to go - a medium I think. Nicely constructed but solvable. There's a pattern to the grid once you get into it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27865: Clever, quite like this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #27834: Got all the groups with 7 secs left to play and managed three group reasons but although I had an answer for the Treasure Hunt group I didn't put it as it didn't match the other groups which all seemed to be synonyms - silly me. Great test but I would call it hard rather than fiendish. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27865: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27835: I’ve just doubled checked in case I’ve missed something, but can’t see anything wrong or weak here. IM appears once on the grid. He could be in two groups (he is Spanish and in the PB). That makes it a good red herring. If I’ve made a mistake (wouldn’t be my first) I’ll put my hands up and learn. Are you upset because I asked you to play nice on another group?😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27452: Solved the wall, failed to get the cricket one. Good grid, thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27835: Sorry Rick, I have no idea what you mean (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27849: Awesome, and I flunked it completely! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #27829: Really enjoyed this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

AMAC @ #27854: Managed all 4 groups without a hope at the connections - just based purely on linguistic similarity ... I had no hope of getting the connections! Overly specific (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27838: Good grid, failed on the cow one, got the rest. Enjoyed it. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27838: Really nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27859: Sorry folks - typo... From should have been Form. I hate that! (4 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #27838: (4 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #27838: Not too taxing but enjoyable. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Beanz @ #27648: Clep Clep (4 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #27845: Good grid, fine challenge. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #27851: Great challenge, we also got the box group but were thinking about a connection to deck. Well set. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15: Very easy. Picky answer - Two River Dons are bigger and more well-known than the Scottish one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #27842: Fine grid, lovely overlaps. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bertie @ #27694: Thanks for feedback - and yes, that's annoying about Peach(es). Good spot! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27845: Nicely constructed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #18: Ahead is an adverb of time or of place. Poor grid. Gilligan's and Heroes are correct answers. Parts of speech as a group is pretty poor. (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27823: nice grid to play (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #44: Very easy. Rejected anagram. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rick @ #27835: Inigo Montoya appearing twice for one meaning is weak (4 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #48: Excellent linguistic grid. Keep them coming please. (4 years, 6 months ago)

May @ #15891: not Bronte but Austen (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27838: Fine grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27851: Box group taxed me but tickled me when I found out what it was! Very good grid enjoyed playing it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #22329: Totally out of order, Rick! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Neal @ #2748: Noice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Neal @ #10577: Ralph. That is the point Gamma and Delta are both Greek letters but are red herrings. Makes the puzzle harder (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27764: sweats group foxed me, but enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27817: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27845: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27829: Enjoyed it very much thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27818: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27819: enjoyed (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27842: Nice one, just enough thought needed without melting the old grey matter! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27845: Enjoyed this one, enough to think about but not to taxing. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27834: Love your puzzles :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #4720: last group stumped me, but enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27838: finally 10/10. enjoyed (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27778: Enjoyed this one, though do agree with some of the other comments (4 years, 6 months ago)

Elissa @ #27841: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27838: Really good. Combined two of my favourite things! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #22329: Sorry Rick, but that’s a bit mean spirited. You can praise someone without knocking someone else! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27836: Wonderful! 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27765: Sorry that some of you have been frustrated by the 'worm' link, I don't quite understand it as I deffo put it in as a link. (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27367: Great puzzle, that little bit different. Got it all right, but only on the second go! And great groups too. Never heard of Nuremberg Egg. (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27834: I like your puzzles; they're quirky. However, this time I think the "the" group was not quite up to your usual standard. Too many hidden words and anagrams in this one for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rick @ #22329: Come back Jollycorpse! Since you've left, Lorna has taken the role of top grid maker and her work is... sub standard. From me, my family and my colleagues, please can you come out of retirement and provide us with daily grids. PuzzGrid needs you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #238: I liked the carbon group. Probably replica should be replicate (or you could have imitation and reproduction). (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #21449: Nice mix of groups. It seems a bit weak to have both Donald and Daffy as ducks; it might have been improved with "sitting" perhaps? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hubby @ #27836: Good crossovers, especially for someone like myself who has limited knowledge of Carry On movies (4 years, 6 months ago)

kpnuts @ #27831: Spash didn't stop me. It's easy to submit a typo. Been there done that. Nice Grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sofia G @ #27217: I really liked it. It was well made and satisfying when I got 10/10. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27485: Couldn't make any lines. Made 3 links Failed to see the countries, made me laugh. Great job, thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27834: Now that was brilliant and elegant! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27806: Only knew one line, couldn't connect the rest but guessed the other links. Good wall, well done. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27832: very clever and not too hard- loved the mitochondria group- you've done your homework! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27831: Yup, you fooled me with Spash 😁 Otherwise a good grid. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27834: Find the hidden treasure. Arrrrrrrr! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27816: Great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Emily @ #27217: At first it was easy I got them all in less than a minute. When having to write what they where about we haven't really learnt about the last one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27829: Very good indeed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27831: Decent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #27831: Sorry Typo! 'Spash' should be 'Splash' (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27652: I liked that you did that Nick- kept me on my toes, as yes it does work :) Actually a bit of a clue (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27821: 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27829: my favourite of yours so far :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lorna @ #27802: Pretty tricky stuff (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27826: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27821: the most interesting and different names based grid I've seen on this site :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27823: good crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27820: LOVELY GRID! A great blend of lateral thinking and quizziness. Hard but not unfair. Didn't get it but thought it was very interesting and good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27819: you've achieved what I can't- an easy one that's also very good, interwoven and not lacking crossovers. much harder to do than it looks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Teebee @ #27827: Vg (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27816: Witty and very good! Bit concerned there's a hidden cry for help?! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27815: very good red herring (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27808: nice concepts, original and well executed. really good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27805: made me smile! NATO does get done a lot, but I loved the spread of subjects- Moriarty tricked me though as I thought there was a theme going on! Organ group was my favourite too! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27800: ooooooooh, these are fun- even if they do make me feel my age! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27749: Didn't know the moon one, good grid. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27739: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27819: Didn't allow homophones for the rhying words line. Other than that, a good grid. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27724: keep going, lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27827: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27805: Very good Loved the organist group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27804: Cheeky!😂 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27816: Excellent! The sorts grid made me smile 😊 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Moris @ #27820: Very difficult. Very obscure. I saw that there was divided Islands but had Ireland in that group Cyprus surely more shared between Cyprus and Northern Cyprus than Cyprus and UK (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27817: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

What? @ #27752: Magic Roundabout? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #26858: Nice 'n' easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27804: Too hard for us (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27823: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27261: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27287: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27714: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27741: Links were too specific (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob&Jenny @ #27754: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Floris Trap @ #26674: Thanks for your puzzle, it was fun to try solving it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

david @ #27819: need to add more terms for being correct. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27793: I'm sorry, BinDipper, I did make a mistake. "Alot" is definitely the wrong spelling. Also, in my earlier explanation, the spell checker kept changing alot to slot. Maybe it did the same in your comment (?) This was my first ever grid. Will try to do better. :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27793: I'm sorry, BinDipper, I did make a mistake. "Alot" is definitely the wrong spelling. Also, in my earlier explanation, the spell checker kept changing alot to slot.

Nick K @ #27652: Re the supposed inconsistency on the plurals for chess, a player only has one Queen and one King in chess hence singular, players have two rooks and two knights hence plural. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27818: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #4772: I do hope you’re not being sarcastic balls. Try googling Alan Ball MBE the World Cup Winner, multiple honour winning player, manager, who more than once broke the UK transfer record. Football didn’t start with the Premier League. I forgive you if you’re only 12 of course! 😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27819: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27792: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27807: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27764: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27764: Good wall, mixture of clues and red herrings. Well put together. Thank you 😊 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27765: As others have said. The question is "What's the link" And the answer Worm is not acceptable??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27791: sock or boot? Fun grid, pleased I got it as one group was guesswork! Didn't know link for brown group- maybe I'm not missing much? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Shiz parlour @ #27731: This is bullshit. YHWH?! And they weren’t acronyms, get an education and jump in a bin (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27813: Didn't get the IKEA link, but the rest was far from flat. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27793: Jesus. Apportion not ‘a portion’ (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27793: Allot = a portion to A lot = plenty Alot = word that doesn’t exist Slot = _________ machine :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Owlotron @ #3456: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27800: Sorry Simon, missed that one. Happy to admit very easy if you know the songs - impossible if you don’t. Btw - that’s Come on Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners (4 years, 6 months ago)

Owlotron @ #683: Nobody outside of n america knows what a loonie is. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Wood Fannily @ #18715: You put an extra n in Queen!!!!!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27773: I lacked aftershave knowledge :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27765: sorry green group (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27765: red group "worm" not accepted??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bolly @ #27789: I think you need to be American for this one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Broken Biscuits @ #27817: Very good grid, enjoyed doing it. Good red herrings! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27780: I'm GROANING! Really kicking myself- totally fair, sooo well hidden. Cap doffed :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27779: This grid doesn't work, I'm afraid. A good idea but if you have more than one the same it means that someone could choose the right word but not in the box from the group and be marked wrong. 2 the same makes it non- unique ie unfair. Lots the same creates countless permutations and makes the grid nearly impossible. You'd have to try every entry of racket, net etc. to get a group. Some nice ideas, though, it's just about getting familiar with the site and how things work, so do keep at it! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ronna @ #27808: Very cleverly constructed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ronna @ #27808: Very cleverly constructed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27777: Really hard and clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marshmallow @ #27649: Glad you enjoyed! Stay safe. (4 years, 6 months ago)

kay @ #27716: Love the palindrome group! Very nice grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon @ #27800: Impossible if you don't know the songs... The answer for the Johnny ray one doesn't actually give the answer, it just lists the lyrics. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27769: Never too many! Excellent construction, fiendish yes, but there are plenty of easy ones, it's nice to be stretched! You're really good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27763: Brilliant (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27633: purple group should have accepted "illusionists" (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27768: good crossovers- I'm guessing you like horses? Not seen that spelling of dorma before, threw me a bit, but got there :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27766: Absolutely excellent 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Elle @ #27813: Tricky but fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27763: Loved it, but didn't get all of it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27796: I'm old enough but never was good at learning lyrics. I flunked! (4 years, 6 months ago)

balls @ #4772: Oh yes, Alan Ball, that really famous guy .... (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27765: This was a lot of fun but I think that as there's a New Forest native pony it's not a unique solution, as it could swap entirely (ie not a red herring) with any of the National Parks in the pony group; I loved the earth group, that was inspired! nice grid, thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27750: Could “have” had (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27763: And he's out of the box! Wonderful, and clever again! Just weird enough to be up my street, accessible enough to be popular (I hope), stylish enough to get 5* Hope it's going well, school work not too interrupted etc? This would be impressive from someone of any age, this chap is FIFTEEN! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anon @ #27769: I worked out the connection for 3 groups but too many red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27763: Really liked this grid. Thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27782: Decent grid. Spelling error was not a big problem. I’d completely forgotten about dot in cricket. Takes me back to 1979 for my one and only stint as a scorer 🤣 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27760: Well I enjoyed it! I think we can call the closed track a lucky save- you're technically still ok! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #27806: I enjoyed that. Worth remembering that most words are from a Greek root if they're not from Latin, though. ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27802: Very good. Has me humming Springtime for Hitler! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27759: I got double bluffed by some of the crossovers- I thought they were tricks when they were actually just in their natural habitat where you'd expect to see them! That'll teach me to overthink it! ANOTHER good one from you, someone I look out for now, well done :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27786: That was hard, but good. So many crossovers. I had the people but couldn’t get the right combinations. Sadly, I’m afraid I’ve spotted a non unique answer: you can swap Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Notes on a Scandal. Sorry. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27758: wooo! Killer grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27793: Say what? Autocorrect is obviously not liking "alot" any more than you did, Jahn! LOL (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27793: Sorry, typo. Slot, not slot, of course! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27793: Jahn, thank you so much for your kind words! I do think I have goofed up on slot, looking into it a bit further. I did a quick search before using it, but must have misread the results. I'll try to be more thorough next time. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27775: fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Martin Porter @ #27759: Like it, nice one Sarah... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Martin Porter @ #27755: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27793: For a first grid this is very good indeed! Well done. Near was a new one on me - always nice to learn something. If I was an old pedant I might query the spelling of the answer for lot (I think you need 2 ts). Keep them coming! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Malc @ #27796: Great fun. I must admit - though I know the MaW song, the lyrics passed me by! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Martin Porter @ #27752: Nice one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #27789: I got the Roots connection, but the surname wasn't a key word. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #27780: Very good. Now kicking myself. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Stan @ #27789: Really nice puzzle. Good red herrings. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27800: Oops I did it again! 😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27768: 7/10 I'm happy with that..;-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27769: Just one/two/ three too many herrings..;-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27796: This is neither big nor clever, I just felt like it 😉 Very easy if you’re a certain age. Waste of your time if you’re not. I am so sorry if you’re too young to get this - it’s just a bit of 1980s fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27774: Tricky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Esq @ #27782: Spoiler Maiden group is cricket terms (4 years, 6 months ago)

John @ #27782: There's a spelling error in Garfield. Solid three groups but the Maiden group makes no sense to me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terry @ #27794: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ytuoms @ #27760: Yes, I've obviously confused it with the horse race of the same name, which isn't held there. That's a fair comment But in a twist of fate I've since discovered Derby DID have one which closed before WWII. Sorry about that. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trillium @ #27793: This is the very first grid I ever made. I don't know how hard or easy it will be, but it was fun to create it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

mattt @ #27786: Apologies for the abbreviations, I had no choice! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BigBarry @ #27780: Really challenging with categories that aren't too obscure - very good grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CP @ #357: 🤦‍♂️ (4 years, 6 months ago)

CP @ #8541: 🤣 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Us @ #18079: It’s Marc Overmars not Mark ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Esq @ #27780: Nice mix. Like (4 years, 6 months ago)

streets585 @ #27760: Same comment about Derby as a location for horse racing and also query whether it would be called a clothes moth? Made me think though !!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27753: Well said Lorna. Great grid, even though no lap of honour. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27779: That might just be over-egging the 'non-unique' pudding. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Margaret Karliner @ #1396: Annoying, too many possibles. (4 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #27778: its 'dormouse' no southern line multiple clues don't work! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Margaret Karliner @ #8403: Quite difficult until suddenly I got it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27778: *the two* (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27778: I think it's good to have straightforward easy grids on here for those just starting to do them, and for kids. However, two the Southerns don't work for different reasons and I don't think doormouse is a thing. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27748: Blimey (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27762: Wow - so many footballers! Stretched my knowledge (4 years, 6 months ago)

M @ #27770: Hi! The Dennis group is far too broad, and the Heel group could just as easily be "body parts", it's not specific enough to be song lyrics. Just some constructive feedback! (4 years, 6 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #27764: Excellent work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27773: Lovely! A three pipe problem - but I got there eventually 😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bontoft @ #27778: There's no Southern line on the Underground :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27778: Nice grid. A few (I hope) constructive points: There is no Southern line on the London Underground Beware of repeating clues (Southern here): the system sees them as separate, so someone could get it right but not be rewarded by pure chance (ie chooses the wrong Southern) - it’s a mistake I’ve made myself! Keep submitting - we all get better over time. I did enjoy this one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris Corby @ #27778: I don't think there's a Southern line on the London Underground (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27758: Nice grid, but you need to widen your answers a lot (4 years, 6 months ago)

Col @ #27760: Good grid, but I’m not sure Derby is a famous horse racing track. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27760: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Moris @ #27765: Nice grid. But 'pony' and 'worm' not accepted as correct answers for connection is strange. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #27679: @barthrolomew - that's weird, anything that includes the word "house" should be correct :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27756: good work, very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27755: Hmmm, interesting! Not your usual grid, that. I liked it :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27753: I love how impossible yours look at first and then... but alas no runabout for me. Grouped it but didn't ID it. Hat's off to the bin men- not a job I'd want at the moment, still working, and no round of applause. We salute all the important, forgotten jobs as well as our amazing NHS! PS thanks for all your recent comments BD :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27773: Find the Missing Treasure (4 years, 6 months ago)

I created the puzzle by the way @ #27772: Absolutely amazing- it’s the best you can get (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hashtag just saying @ #27704: If CM of this grid is the same CM who left comments on #27673 and #27674, it strikes me this is all a bit of tit-for-tat score settling and probably not worth the pile-on is it...? oops, hang on... sorry... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27754: Ndeed, Nicely enough constructed. The experienced solver may find some of These groups have been rather done to death over the last 20,000 grids, but I appreciate it's impossible to k ow that :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27754: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27751: Loved it. I’ll get you Butler!!!🤣 (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27749: (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27749: couldn't get the last group, very clever! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27752: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gee @ #27758: I put 'measuring' and it marked it wrong, I put 'people in charge' and it marked it wrong. Suggest adding these options! (4 years, 6 months ago)

soozy @ #27756: Found naming the last two difficult but enjoyed the challenge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keith @ #27764: Enjoyable. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27753: Superb I didn’t get the lap of honour group, but enjoyed it anyway (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27764: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kah @ #27747: Especially liked the triplets group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rhys @ #27740: Nice grid - like other comments not sure about Cher either (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27759: Yep, whisky and whiskey are in there in the same group. Depends on the country of origin. Did you get done by an auto-correct for honour, LetMe? Regardless, nice grid :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

BobbyFred @ #27560: Hi Lorna, love your grids! Just wondering how you get them so highly rated, so quickly? Do you have some kind of mailing list? (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #10405: Wow! Welcome to Red Herring City, Arizona (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #2297: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27759: Nice grid. Should have allowed 'whisky' as well as 'whiskey', though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Puzz John @ #27754: Nice start for someone getting into the PuzzGrid world - good to do with the kids! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Blue bird @ #27754: Find this too easy, but did enjoy the red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #27751: Excellent grid, the buses one especially clever and you need to be of a certain age to get the answer. Also well done for having no celebs or Harry Potter. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27753: Bit bobbins this one but I fell in love with one of the groups and had to go with it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

M @ #27731: YHWH had me thinking :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #27751: Quite pleased I didn't know the tv one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27751: I can't believe I didn't have to look them up. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27740: *idea for a word group! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27752: Not distinctly herringy but still somehow very good! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27751: can't believe I got the Buses link! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27746: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27744: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Blue bird @ #27750: Nice Puzzle, but could of had more red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27742: extra star for going some way towards a false group- nice to see if you could take that idea further? :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CP @ #368: 😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27739: Sherry t made me laugh (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27747: Liked it! Really good links! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27740: lovely grid- agree about Cher- but terrific idea word a group. original and fun :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27710: Excellent, some neat red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27733: yes its non unique- some lovely ideas though. Keep doubles as your red herrings, rather than using both :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27732: brilliant (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27748: sneaky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27737: Very good - 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27741: Good grid - but need to expand answers, eg one and fruit! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27744: Excellent - 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27740: 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27744: Nice wall. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27730: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27738: 5* Very good and very hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27733: Angel in there twice makes it impossible to have a unique solution (4 years, 6 months ago)

Eddie @ #27743: Terrible performance (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27724: Classic! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bonjoy @ #27672: I put "usurper siblings" for the fratricide group :/ great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27742: Thanks 2+2. I like how you’ve mixed in two Walsh shows with the two runny after people. Did you miss a trick tho by using the snog group? I don’t know them well enough to see any red herring if there is one. Maybe another group with The Beast in it would have led to the creation of a fake group? (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27740: Thanks Debs. Nice spread of subject material and my type of grid. Teensy issue with Cher (or cher) being in that group as it’s either not a dictionary word or it is a word we use in English, but with the same meaning. Still a 5 from me. Ta. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27741: And the jam started its life off as fruit (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27704: The two sides of the site in just two messages. What were you hoping to achieve, xxxx? Some great revelation on the part of the compiler? “Oh I see what he means by ‘dreadful’. Silly me.” Knobheads can’t be banned from the site and therefore there’s a personal responsibility to refrain from being a knobhead. It’s a bit like Sweden’s handling of Covid - it requires some feckin’ sense. So get some. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark Darby @ #27743: Only got 1 out of 4 - but managed to get the connections when the wall was revealed! Thought it was about spot on in terms of difficulty! (4 years, 6 months ago)

47294759262 @ #27742: Not bad, but not great (4 years, 6 months ago)

Russell @ #27721: My RE teacher will be disappointed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27731: Nice grid, but you didn't fool me with the mis-spelling of Huntsman 😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

greg @ #27727: nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

greg @ #27728: very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

greg @ #27741: Nice grid but answers need expanding - refused jam and one (4 years, 6 months ago)

qgfaafg @ #27741: Did not know that "Clue" was called "Cluedo" in the UK. :( From North America (4 years, 6 months ago)

ehhh @ #16583: adding an s is pretty boring (4 years, 6 months ago)

DH @ #27724: 10/10 with 12 seconds to spare. phew! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Skave @ #26035: Rakine, not Rankin (4 years, 6 months ago)

K-lo @ #27738: Great grid! I flunked out on the movies, lol! (4 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #27722: Nice wall. Not too hard. As an american it helps when your PL team is the gunners. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dale @ #10577: Very good grid - thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Clown @ #27567: Brian jones - Rolling Stones (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dale @ #27738: Thanks for compiling this grid! It was a grid of two halves for me: two sets were pretty easy to find, the other two I just couldn't see. Overall - good : ) (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Clown @ #27599: 'things that looks human but aren't' - Nope, don't like it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Clown @ #27652: Agree with Joe - consistency needed on plurals etc. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27724: There's no end to the murder mysteries, is there? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #27724: Very clever. Easy once you spot the link, but I love a good anagram (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ann @ #27721: Wish I’d concentrated more. I will next time (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27730: Jo -hover/ click on the little box with the question mark to reveal the answers, or click on the "click here if you need to see the answers" message if you can't see the last one before the star rating pops up. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #5739: Nice! Only got the Jackson group .... Good challenge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #27730: Would be nice if they gave us correct answers if we get them wrong (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy C @ #27716: Like it! The toyota group was very clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27719: fooled me with baboon's blood! I knew the poem but not the dialogue- clever trick! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JaffleLady @ #27558: Especially loved the Daredevil and Travolta/Cage squares. I knew I'd love this one as soon as I saw! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27707: Very good Ginnel was new to me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27717: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

JaffleLady @ #27708: Enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JaffleLady @ #27721: Lots of Wilsons, good work! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27711: Good one Mister Tom! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #27614: Loved this one, thank you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27715: sweet of you to make a "reply" grid! I struggled but recognised the reveals- good quiz for those people who remember these! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27716: Love the - group, nice and lateral- struggled with the added letters but a deviously genius bit of camouflaging. Kudos to you and anyone who solves it :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27717: I really enjoyed it -not sure if it has only one unique answer (Not meaning the red herrings which are fine- rather swap-able answers) but it's a lovely grid apart from that, good subjects :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27662: DINSDALE!!!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #10577: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27724: Whodunnit? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27690: For me, having the 2 names groups just turns it into 2 smaller grids too easily. The Feline group I got... but it's too obscure to work as a group with red herrings: to the silver just does the claret group because that's obvious; then works out what's left. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27706: Decent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #1708: A lovely quiz for word enthusiast s (4 years, 6 months ago)

Derek @ #27721: So many Wilsons! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27711: Dazzlingly opaque :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #566: Nice categories and ingenious use of missing vowels. Wouldn't accept camera as a link. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27710: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #6833: Ok..not hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27717: More good stuff (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #2748: Quite easy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lawner @ #27716: That blue group was a bit much. Otherwise, good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27706: Neat grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bovril @ #1396: The bed sizes are the American equivalent of Single and Double which I think is causing some of the confusion below. Excellent otherwise! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #26767: should accept plead (4 years, 6 months ago)

PiGuyN @ #27694: Aside from Peach being the Mario character and not Peaches, nice grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27711: Bamboozled me with the oxymorons. Good wall, thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #26770: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mikey @ #27692: Good board, we think 'off' would be acceptable for the 'gone' clue - hand off, play off, gone off, cast off? Still we gave ourselves the points! (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #26619: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Essbee @ #27596: If you haven’t been to this place, wherever it is, this is impossible (4 years, 6 months ago)

Malc @ #27700: Really good grid. Lots of variety, and some good red herrings. Didn’t get the Simpsons or homonyms. (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #26537: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #26539: enjoyed (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27712: good quality and I failed miserably! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27704: Don't like to see vague, unjustified criticism- some more constructive feedback if you don't mind it- Some great concepts, initial ideas all sound- bit too hard to spot some of the word groups due to the obscurity of words or length left to get a handle on- may frustrate some players and cause back lash like below or low score- LOVELY theme which goes some way to making it a bit easier- the "contains letters" group was quite a feat to reverse engineer but possible if you've spotted what you're looking for. Either use it with 3 easier, themed groups or keep the letters together and in order, I'd suggest. Really promising work, very hard and challenging, detailed and took effort. I hope you don't mind constructive criticism I just think its nice to have an explanation for why it might not score rather than just slating it. Thanks for posting do keep it up I think your ideas are good Hope you're not offended! :) xx (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #26543: could have accepted Jesus? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27707: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

eroomuk @ #27713: Nice, knew all the connections, but the red herrings kept me guessing! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27706: good construction, plenty of crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jericho @ #27702: Nice to see someone else has a fondness for classic British cinema. I'll have to see if I can return the favour... (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27655: thanks for helping in lockdown (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27711: Surprisingly Normal? ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27657: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27679: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

j @ #27690: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27690: Having the two names groups was clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #2621: Well it's safe to say this has generated some controversy in the comment section! Not exactly my cup of cha but I have always dreamt of being a professional curler so no excuses from me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27698: Good work, enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27698: loved the ops group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27692: Not sloppy- Soooo easily done- most words that that seem like obvious candidates for a prefix group share the double edged sword of being applicable to lots of other prefixes and vice versa- easy prefixes could fit too many words or swap with another- things like non, con, re, de etc are so common. Harder to work with than they look! Keep up the excellent work :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27683: Had a scooby and still hadn't a clue... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27694: Nice. My Nintendo knowledge let me down as well... (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27696: LOG and bands yes- then I got hopelessly lost- well played (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27697: thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ralph @ #10577: Delta is also a Greek letter which makes it too confusing (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27696: I said 'groups' instead of 'bands'. No score :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

andrew @ #27684: These groups have more than one link. Also Dorset is spelt incorrectly. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27694: I know nothing about Nintendo. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Christine Williams @ #27688: Hooray, full marks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27683: Nope. Too strangled for me. Hadn't a scooby. (4 years, 6 months ago)

andrew @ #27694: Great grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Thomas @ #27673: Absolutely brilliant and horrible. Got one of the groups for the right reason and one for the wrong reason. Kicked myself at missing a third, and as for the last one - just happened not to know it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Katharine Stonex @ #27688: Too difficult for me! Good game though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27692: Ah, good point bert and Iorna. Sloppy. And thank you Iorna :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

HPSauce @ #27693: I hope you like it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bert @ #27692: The "gone" group also works with "out". I thought "rock out" and "smooth out" were red herrings :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #27635: 10/10 - such fun, we are getting to know your "letys". (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #27681: Nice one, thanks. Does naturally split into 2 x 8. Didn’t get the IDR group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27694: fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27693: thanks HP! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jonboy @ #27692: Nice one, thanks. Didn’t get the Gone group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

SST @ #27660: Great grid. A bit disappointed that my answers came up as incorrect might I suggest you simplify the answer criteria and spell the name correctly. Really enjoyed this one besides that. The blue group threw me completely! 😊 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27692: I liked it but there are a lot of words that could replace fore in that group perhaps? You are consistently good, though and it's a good grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

wally @ #27684: stupid (4 years, 6 months ago)

SST @ #27661: Nice one. Lots of red herrings! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27687: same as paul, without the mouth- superglue problem :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27686: clever stuff- I got lost looking for words that could begin with o and ran out- Orange, Oscar, oinks- wasted a lot of time. Doh! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27692: Just enough smut. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27681: monetry units - wow tough grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27684: like the grid - put cathedral cities instead of county towns (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27678: coo that's a tangly one! I didn't have the knowledge for this, but very well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27677: some really lovely thinking here- especially the choice of "dalziel" as a homophone- conceptually good and well executed :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27679: A good mix of knowledge and word play groups, with some good crossovers :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #9214: Loved it! Of course I smashed it out the park but brilliant creativity that may cause problems for less experienced PuzzGriders (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #27521: A bit too niche to have broad appeal but I suppose it wasn't designed for that. You never PuzzGrid alone! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27670: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27671: Nice grid, but you need to take more care in the answer box. It didn't accept 'Jack' here, or 'New'. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27652: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27628: not a faggle officianado, otherwise well constructed grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

I read a book once @ #27673: Devilishly fiendish!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

peas @ #27521: One for the Liverpool fans there but... Really? Just one category? (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27560: Dear Andy, I would like to make two points if I may. Firstly, I do not enjoy puzzles like this either. I much prefer the “traditional” TV type. Secondly, I’m not a knob about it. I simply don’t do them. No-one is damaged by this approach. Yours, Binny (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27668: fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27657: impeccable grid. 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27645: realised it was names early on but some too obscure for me. Have to admit it was clever tho (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27648: careful with your typing or spelling (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27649: excellent, got lost in all the steves and browns so ran out of time - good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27654: nice use of false lines and red herrings well done to solvers (4 years, 6 months ago)

JM @ #9670: slime (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27638: Excellent, took me a while to get the beans, though. Thanks :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

AliBrewsky @ #27638: Thanks, CorenM! The name is actually spelled with two Ts when used as part of the NATO alphabet, and I was honestly a little worried that it would be a dead giveaway! (4 years, 6 months ago)

five @ #27539: not a five (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #27667: Nice Puzzel (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jack @ #27658: You spelt Eiffel wrong. Otherwise fun grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nicky @ #27600: Is the 4th drummer Jeff Rich, Status Quo? (4 years, 6 months ago)

JM @ #3712: Physicist, perhaps you should reread the answer. Lux is certainly a unit, lumen/meter^2. Although, I absolutely agree flux is not a unit (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mon @ #27650: Great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Esq @ #27560: There's no pleasing some. A free puzzle someone takes a bit of time and care over- thank you Lorna (Doone)?) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun13 @ #24711: fun puzzle, nicely done (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27649: good one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Esw @ #27635: Try c pic (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cajun13 @ #27086: Excellent puzzle. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Daniel Palmer @ #27650: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #11: Agree with the comments about interchangeable terms and the websites. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #27636: Good Grid! Roo- Just press submit to get to the ‘help with linking terms’, you don’t actually have to submit a grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27648: nice to see some really original palindromes (4 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #18315: Really good - clever, challenging and some great red herrings. Nice range of categories too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Roo @ #27636: No, but will do - think I can only get to them by creating another grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

PipTaz @ #27647: Honestly the most random and tenuous connections I have ever seen on this site. I’m baffed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #14379: I never find it engagung when the categories are the same type (4 years, 6 months ago)

sgadandearg @ #27490: Thank you! Was a first attempt for my dad's birthday, didn't know this site existed. Might try a few more now, especially since I have time on my hands :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27641: Bontoft, I’d like to rephrase my last comment! I’ve just spotted your age: I was very impressed with your grid when I thought you were an adult. At your age this deserves 5*s - well done! Palindrome is an excellent word to pick up here: I am several times older than you and still learning stuff on here all the time. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #27647: I'd start smoking something else (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #27625: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27641: Nice grid. Not really important, and I hardly ever care if the keywords don’t accept things, but I did think Palindrome would be ok. (4 years, 6 months ago)

KLF @ #27647: I dont understand what 'jigsaw shoes' means. Can anyone help? (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27645: Too tough for me. I did have the knowledge to do better than I did but I’d imagine not many people would get two of the Bart group. The chicken group beat me but it was a clever one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Velasquez @ #27646: Not for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27628: Very good. Red herrings and false leads (4 years, 6 months ago)

Velasquez @ #27647: Too easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Greg Henderson @ #27521: Ace. Enjoyed that, like Only Connect but did better on your than the ones on TV. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Owlotron @ #27560: Ridiculously obscure. Should be nowhere near 'best grids'. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27635: Tricky, even when I’d spotted the theme! Pleased to have got 7/10 in three minutes. 5*! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #27629: Nicely done. Some really good red herrings. Enjoyed this one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27638: 5* Nice grid, I think you misspelt Juliet which could throw a player if they thought it was deliberate. But a great grid, thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27624: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Owlotron @ #10711: Garbage (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27625: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27634: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

JayDee @ #27642: Could have been more engaging and less obvious than all having a similar category. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27633: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27635: Another winner (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14986: rated 1 for sarcasm for creme de la creme. This is a fun quiz. No need for sarcarsm. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27560: Sorry Andy but I've had this conversation with other trolls months ago and I can't be bothered to justify myself to you. Plenty of people like these. Just avoid if you don't. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #27560: same trash. watch some only connect, then try and repeat. or just go away. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27632: very clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bontoft @ #27641: Tarps, yes I was just watching it and got lots of inspiration! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tarps @ #27641: Did you watch tonights episode of 'Only Connect' The Simpsons line was one of the first round questions although Ebola and 9/11 were different clues, as soon as I saw Higgs boson I knew what I was looking at! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bontoft @ #27641: Thank you everyone :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27641: fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27448: Just avoid mine then Andy- the next few are all whodunnits, Cluedo based or otherwise. They do make sense to those who are into this sort of thing, people who are good at cryptic crosswords etc, lateral thinkers. If it's not your cup of tea just duck out and do the normal straightforward ones. If you didn't spot the cluedo link it would look like nonsense, yes, but there is an overarching theme which serves as a clue to both the entries and the groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27635: so good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bontoft @ #27634: Good idea but a bit too hard for a 12 year old like me, i got 6/10 :0 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27636: Have you looked at the guidelines? (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27542: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27641: Simpsons line is interesting (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #27624: New word for me - thanks Lorna (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #27448: Another absolute nonsense grid. It's not about just making stuff up then putting boxes in. I mean, really - those are anagrams of billiard room? so what? they don't mean anything. Terrible, terrible, terrible. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Roo @ #27636: Thanks - thought so, but thought it worth a check. Hadn’t uploaded one before so wasn’t sure how the keywords work best. (4 years, 6 months ago)

MP @ #27639: Nice grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27636: Unfortunately we can't edit Roo, we can only resubmit updated versions. You can't even take a grid down if there's something wrong! Frustrating, I know. You'll just have to be overgenerous with the points! (Doubt many will complain) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #27621: Fab (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27634: Nice grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27632: right up my alley! A lot of cleverness went into this, and a lot of work. Top gridding :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Roo @ #27636: Wondering if there’s any way of editing the keywords, which I haven’t inputted right as it’s accepting things that aren’t the connection! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27629: what a lot of rotten tricks! Wonderful grid. Long time no see, Jolly! Hope you are well :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27628: Nice grid. Loved the fraggles! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27624: sorry- phill with 2 ls ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27623: OK - you soon sorted it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27622: Could easily have avoided a double Atlanta - but rest OK (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27606: Very enjoyable, and easier than it first looked! Always nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27600: Very enjoyable :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27620: More of a quiz than a grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jane @ #26858: pineapple not pineapple? pear group was good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27598: Some lovely groups in there (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27620: Clue: it wasn't Björn :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27620: Can you spot the perpetrator amongst the line- up of usual suspects? (4 years, 6 months ago)

MikeK @ #10711: I though 'D' programming language was a bit obscure, I'm a programmer and knew it, but I couldn't believe you expect civilians to. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27609: Very nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27611: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #573: Thoroughly enjoyable, bravo! (4 years, 6 months ago)

MikeK @ #2748: atitude was good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #27597: Another mention of Coronavirus! I come here for a distraction, not to be reminded that people are dying right now. (4 years, 6 months ago)

MikeK @ #10577: thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

MikeK @ #27612: Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26976: Thanks. Nicely placed red herrings. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27002: Lots of red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #27382: Lorna leaves us baffled once more (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #238: Crossovers galore! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Donuts @ #27555: I'm with Lorna, when you've got lots of potential solutions to a group you clearly need to think in a different direction to reduce the options. I like that. Cheers Bindipper. I failed to get 10/10 as I used the plural knives. :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBuzz101 @ #27422: Another tricky one from Lorna! Much lateral thinking required. Certainly not for the faint-hearted... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27422: Lorna does some of the best grids. Love them!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27521: Fabulous Grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Colin @ #27606: Too hard for me! Too much Essex... Excellent grid, though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rosie @ #48: Did not spot the palindromes, although I got all the groups! V clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27614: A bit of fun I hope! Apologies if you weren’t around in the 1980s😉 (4 years, 6 months ago)

X @ #27600: Wrong answer in wrong grouping (4 years, 6 months ago)

Freddgar @ #27594: Good grid, completely fooled me with the (B)abe group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #27599: things that looks human but aren't; Doctor, Data ??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #27604: The consecutive letters group was too weak (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27606: 5* Well done - takes work to construct a whole grid like that (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27600: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27539: I suspected autocorrect might be at play here! 🤣 (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #8194: good, but never have got budgie one in a month of fridays (4 years, 6 months ago)

Scoobydont @ #2748: Nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #11069: not that happy with this grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #4794: agree with comments, saw friends earl and smiled as it had to be red herring - but tried it anyway (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #14349: nice n easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27595: Enjoyed that... well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anon @ #27600: Rich is listed in the drummers, but the answer has copeland (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy S @ #27521: Brilliant (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27594: you have great ideas, skinnywiz- it was hard to get effigy to fit in that group but kudos for the (nearly) original concept- great minds think alike- you and BinDipper! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27594: Got the link for 'figure' etc., but didn't get credit for it as I put in 'sculpture'. :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

Donuts @ #27594: Liked this one. It was pretty easy until the baby group which was brutal. Now I understand it I'll look for these. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27578: Rolled with it and enjoyed! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27575: Good grid, well constructed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

WWW @ #27596: ?????????????????????????? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27574: Good grid, I'm sure, but outside my areas of interest. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27573: Excellent work. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kishere @ #27595: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27571: Lovely grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Darren Jalland @ #27521: Loved this! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27594: Jeebers. Just seen this and Bacup. I've posted similar. Sorry! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27569: Great stuff! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #27594: I don't get the Effigy group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27597: Super grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #13910: Great grid. Not sure about Replicant = K, but that aside I enoyed it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Manu @ #27591: Being a crossword enthusiast made this grid easy for me. But what a great construction! Loved it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Person101 @ #26898: Not like only connect at all (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27594: Sorry, not sure the baby group quite works well enough for me. Good grid otherwise. Liked the Bacup one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27595: That's a very good grid. Unfortunately, though, you can swap pontoon and bridge so doesn't have a unique solution. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27595: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #1818: Nice to find a puzzle I could store 10 on. Good spread of groups. Perhaps try harder to find red herrings? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Samschoolst @ #27539: You are right Jahn, that was what I thought I'd typed, I guess autocorrect had other ideas! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27590: Oh that was good. One of those where I’m giving 5* even though I didn’t get any right! (4 years, 6 months ago)

WWW @ #26894: VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #184: not that difficult, but monopoly one got me for a while. Good effort. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #2296: good wall, not that difficult, though the 'draw' one had me stumped for a while - nice clue. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27591: so many 5/5* grids! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27539: Good grid (Pedantry alert: I hate myself for pointing it out but it’s Baba not Baby) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #22683: niche knowledge required (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27567: jones? good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rhys @ #27554: Enjoyed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27544: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27579: hit and miss for me esp day group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27545: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27548: Picard group was fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27585: went quackers (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27587: enjoyed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27591: 👍 another 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

KC @ #8355: A very tough grid, could see there was a 'Yes' connection but the languages were a little too obscure for me and that meant I couldn't whittle down the options to see the other groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27591: very clever, was sort of on the right line tho only scored 1 point (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27567: Excellent grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27584: Clean away! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ace deception @ #357: Muahaha! great puzzgrid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

+g.20+ @ #27562: Great wall. Only small feedback, 2nd row could also be add -er (forter is a software company or something like that). Admittedly your -itude is far more common though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jodie @ #27579: Didn't Napoleon leave Elba and then go to war again in Europe before being defeated at Waterloo and being sent to St Helena? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jodie @ #27585: What's 6music? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Roo @ #27586: Puzzgrid, this grid isn’t appearing on the Browse Grids list - is there a way I can get it to appear? @puzzgrid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jack @ #27569: I think you meant things followed by Ray, for the Gamma, Blu, X, and Manta, group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27585: added a star for the false group :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27587: nice crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27579: shown some genius here- for that reason, 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27578: insight into your day? ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27575: good- kept me chasing the groups for a while (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27573: cooooo, challenging and good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27561: Good work. hamptonquimbles: lovely and poetic comment- I'd like to see a grid by you with equally masterful wordsmithery! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27569: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27567: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27558: DA da da daaa, dun dun daaaa! Woo hoo, great fun. I pity the fool who doesn't love this! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27584: so many crimes! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27555: Its harder work coming up with a lot of crossovers and red herrings, but not always appreciated! I don't agree with "random grab bag"- it's only random if its not unique. A good, well constructed grid has a logical conclusion. I struggled with it but can see that it's good, and appreciate it anyway- despite my own failure. (4 years, 6 months ago)

PJ @ #3905: Luke Skywalker is not a cyborg. He has a metal hand! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27576: Sorry to be picky, but clog has one g (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27579: Liked the Gilligan group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27584: You’re really expanding the criminal pool!😀 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27585: Good false group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27558: My favourite grid of the week!! Fantastic - easy 5*s (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #27584: Flip (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Maclean @ #27585: Yo (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27569: good grid. I think you mixed up one of the solutions? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27560: Ha Ha- that's the one I deleted! Preferred the replacement, more self- explanatory, less yuck. Forgot to change the explanation! Doh (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27550: plenty of crossovers :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27551: oh wow- so many tricks! Saw most of the groups but was scrabbling around in the herrings- I'm terrible at missing letter clues when each is a different letter- kicking myself. Good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27548: Clever crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27560: was waiting for this one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27546: Lovely to see so many new names on the site. Thanks for posting this :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pauline Johnson @ #27516: Wow tough one this!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27541: I recommend it- apparently it was C.D's own favourite! Thanks all and well done :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27545: I look forward to yours now. you've really got a handle on this. good work yet again :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27558: yay! fun grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27584: Solve the crime (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27541: Not familiar with the story, but I got all the groups. (I always seem to finish in 1.55!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27560: Snot leapt? The anagram was neat plots, Lorna! 😄 Another toughie, but I scored 6! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27555: *Reviews were mixed* Cheers Jahn (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mario @ #27567: enjoyed grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mario @ #27569: excellent grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Shabba @ #1708: Horrible. Gloriously horrible. Every one of those is gettable by anyone, and yet none of them jump out. A near perfect grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #4375: Not everyone watched The Simpsons. Yawn. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Alice @ #27569: (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizGav @ #27553: I found this one hard. But that’s good. Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Tissue @ #27562: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27555: 5* - superb grid Great crossovers Also really liked the Ramsey/Ramsey bit! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Tissue @ #27571: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #4741: Heart does not contain the name of a body part, it is a body part! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #27558: Outstanding common link! Applause. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27558: Very well played! A great red herring theme :) 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Stat&Waldo @ #27560: Ooh, this is a toughie! (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #27422: Excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #62: very good grid. Missed the cars but good fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27549: Grate eye deer! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #27565: Very enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27560: 5* :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #27558: Clever ,especially the daredevil line! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #27422: I finally solved one of yours (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27566: Good stuff! (4 years, 6 months ago)

C @ #583: Weirdly saw circuit first and got me onto breakers straight away (4 years, 6 months ago)

C @ #27546: The "average" one is wrong - statistical measures is probably the more generic term that encompasses them. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #5633: Very clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Range is not an average @ #27546: It's a measure of the spread of data, like standard deviation for example. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ben @ #27562: done this one before, hope its same person resubmitting and not a copy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bloo @ #27560: That was great. Really tough but rewarding even if I only got two lines. (4 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #27546: Pretty good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27544: very good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bloo @ #27561: Second one should accept vacuum as “hoover” is a brand name that became a generic trademark. Would be worth accepting both. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bibliophile @ #186: I missed out on 10 marks as gave moon rather than fly for last group. Would also agree it's a medium rather than a hard. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dert @ #27511: (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27555: Thanks James - that is highly constructive. You had a decent point re the PMs, (I'm my own worst critic with these things), but ruined that by being an utter dick about it. I'm a little unclear how much more specific a group needs to be than recurring villains in 1960s puppet shows - a group that probably doesn't excede 10 in total; towns & villages on the Isle of Man (8 options); and the standard 'words that go before x' but hey ho, I will try to get over this period of sadness. (4 years, 6 months ago)

hamptonquimbles @ #27561: A delicate wickerwork of thought-threads at which to grasp, fruitlessly, only to find them woven into a bottomless basket of festering herrings. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cream @ #1747: Very good. Was stuck on the last one for ages! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dert @ #27553: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27554: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27560: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dert @ #27554: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dert @ #27554: (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27543: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27550: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27542: Terrific fun, 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dert @ #25538: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27560: thanks bob- what a lovely attitude. It doesn't hurt to have a few tries, if you have the patience! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

@ @ #6833: so many overlaps makes it challenging. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27546: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #27560: I like your walls, I can't do them but I like them (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27542: Thanks Jack. I’ll accept the cruiser point. Only the Vanguard was bigger. The Vanguard wasn’t built when the Hood sank. I found this: Though officially classified as a battlecruiser, at the time of her commissioning, Hood had battleship levels of armour protection. For two decades she remained the largest warship in the world, earning her the nickname “Mighty Hood”. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27549: whoops- typo! so sorry should be mane. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Victoria @ #27471: I only got the bridges but wouldn't have guessed Woodbridge so ended up with a score of zero. Also frustrating that there were two rows that could precede something. Grrr. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tony @ #27550: Super wall, lots of crossovers and fun to do. Well done Callipygean- look forward to more seeing your next one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

James82 @ #27555: Just a really poor grid, too many overlaps and not enough specificity in the groups. Particularly the random grab bag of Prime Ministers first names. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Polly @ #27541: Very chuffed to have scored 10/10. Lorna, I love your walls! Thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27549: Excellent. Loved the burglar group clues! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jack @ #27542: Nice grid. One note HMS Hood was a Battlecruiser not a Battleship and their were several larger battleships in the Royal Navy. I think HMS Vanguard was the largest Battleship the Royal Navy ever built. (4 years, 6 months ago)

jammydodger @ #27533: Always like to see the birdies. Got 2 groups but I was never going to get the names! Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cream @ #27537: What a number nerd. Awful. Should be banned from the site. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Deb @ #27542: Really fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Deb @ #27542: Really fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

john @ #12552: lul wot? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27541: Thanks so much! Yes, Doyle and Christie are fun and I'm running out of Cluedo Culprits (though not permutations). The next one is a lot easier, as requested! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trypp @ #27497: Apologies for putting one of my red herring in the answers. Must check more thoroughly next time! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27549: loved it. Mane? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27541: Excellent again. 5* Very pleased with a 7/10 This is a rich seam - looking forward to seeing how much of the Christie canon you can do! 😀 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27549: Slightly easier whodunnit for those who want that :) Name the burglar? (4 years, 6 months ago)

ggg @ #27541: Excellent - recognised the link which of course helped (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gagalady @ #27517: A full house for me on this one! Enjoyed it. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27542: :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27526: See also #23288... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27544: Gifts should be plural except partridge - the rests OK (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27541: Great fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #27542: Nice theme! Enjoyed that, great grid. Thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27526: Firm but fair... I had just enough ignorance to get nowhere , and the plagiarism in #27544 is coincidence:-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #27541: That is a really tough wall. I’d be surprised if anyone gets more than 2/10. You make some great walls Lorna, but can you do something a bit more accessible please :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Howard Sprenger @ #27476: Top stuff :=) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #27536: The hyena group is clever, but this is a tough grid. I’m not sure about the gourmet group, maybe it works if the definition is tighter? (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #27534: Really tough. The film link is true but has to be very precise to avoid a non-unique solution (the film Giant won Oscars too, but not that particular one). I think the plural use of paramours is ok though? Clever, but too clever for most I think (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27526: wonderful- great use of a false group. Very well done! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #27533: Very difficult. I got 0/10. Not impossible but maybe have one easier group to let people in a bit :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Tissue @ #10577: Just right. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fred Tissue @ #27533: Too difficult (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27541: Another whodunnit to solve :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Moos @ #27517: I typed 'best picture movies' and it was marked incorrect. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27534: Nice grid, with good ideas. 'Paramour' is spelt like this though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sue Dawson @ #27533: Absolute trash (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon @ #25174: Didn’t get silent but should have (4 years, 6 months ago)

idel101 @ #27522: Famous Five description is incorrect. Dick was the fourth child, Timmy was the dog. They were all characters in the novels though :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #77: Very nice grid. Caught out by Hitchcock like many others. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #685: Clever. Quite difficult. Too much emphasis on word play rather than general knowledge. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #96: Very well constructed grid with nice variety and crossovers. Not sure we ever say 'fruit crumble' though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Grobblar @ #27522: Sex *And* The City (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27502: yay! (4 years, 6 months ago)

merican @ #15862: too british (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dysgwr @ #27474: I enjoyed that, thanks. I completely missed the connection with gup group. The fact that they were all lower case made me think they were characters from something for some reason. I'll look forward to the next one too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27477: loved (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27469: love (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27513: thanks, Jay :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27513: Love these! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27513: Got there in the end- that's what counts. Loving your cryptics, Gridlington :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27502: Great! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27513: Good grief, that was a hard one! I confess I re-started it and still only solved it with 5 seconds to spare! 😁 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27513: Cool, that's great! Got your eye in now, Jahn, and starting to think like me? Oh dear, sorry! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27513: Yay! Got 10/10 on this one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27448: Apologies for any discrepancies between UK Cluedo and US Clue Goneril! Hope all is well with you xx (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27517: Cool board (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27448: Oh, lovely lovely! (And I'm selfishly delighted to have one without a Brit-specific category I'm too provincial to grasp). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27502: Another 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27502: oooooooooo! Tasty word- crypticity. Sounds like a town full of zombies, or something. Looking forward to revenge gridding! ;) PS hope your brain gets better, do you need a mop? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27513: Another Whodunnit. Get your magnifying glasses out :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

JamieQ @ #27511: Nice one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27511: Entertaining grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ethan @ #27499: Loved it, thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizQuack @ #27474: 7/10 for me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27497: Television dogs? Really? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Peacock @ #27502: You have exploded my brain with your crypticity. But I shall have my revenge (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27501: not bad at all (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #11518: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27502: P.S. apologies to anyone who just put "anagrams" for the one group- I meant to be generous and let you have that but I forgot- so you'll have to be specific- hey ho :) have the points anyway (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27502: Slightly different as I've already used a Mrs. Group- so you've got a new bit! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lawner @ #27497: I think you tricked yourself with the dogs in soap operas. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lucy @ #27500: very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

rurdy @ #27500: very enterting but tough at the ebd worth a try!!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27488: Really nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27489: Very good. Beat me, but appreciated the skill when answers revealed. The Onions group was inspired. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #27489: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Haydn @ #27474: Really enjoyed this one! Very well thought out groups, look forward to the next one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Flossie @ #27481: Pah! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27497: A good, well constructed grid, with clever crossovers :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27495: fun. good work with the cow line (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gosco82 @ #27489: Very well-shaped, like the setter’s buttocks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

RollyD @ #27496: Nice puzzle! My knowledge tripped me up on one part! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #27495: Nice grid! Caught out by the fish. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27317: I'm starting to feel like one of those villagers, BinDipper. Be worried when I start licking frogs :0 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27494: Good grid, though I don't know much about the Budgie line, so I didn't get that one (4 years, 6 months ago)

jms @ #27488: Loved the cotton conection! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27490: very well done. Good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27493: Really enjoyable- not hard for me as I've used similar groups myself, but well put together- I'll look forward to more of yours! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27481: nice false group, adds a layer of trickiness, always good in my book! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27477: Well that was fun, great clues especially on the L line. 5* again from me, very much deserved :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

SmileyMiley @ #27493: I apoligise for the spelling errror - should be Hollywood not Hollywoo (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27476: very competent gridding! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27474: well done Rosie! (4 years, 6 months ago)

James82 @ #27468: At first I thought I would never be able to solve it, but then saw one group and managed to get all in to place. Didn’t know the connection for one of the groups, but that’s as my literary knowledge isn’t great. A really good testing wall. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27475: not sure if this is unique jack, but if I'm right in thinking that it's a first attempt (don't recognise the name) it's a top effort! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Manka @ #27489: Great Wall, real fun cleverly put together. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27468: No worries. I still gave it a 4* cos it's so hard to even get close to doing one of those successfully. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27473: Loooovely grid! Great crossovers, esp bay. nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27471: there is a cross bridge (part of a muscle), but it's so obscure that I don't think it matters ie it's not enough to ruin the game play :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27469: Lovely stuff- love the flavour line, funny! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Berna Cox @ #27474: Very clever! I didn't do very well, I'm afraid. But I enjoyed trying. Thank you. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Samschoolst @ #27458: Fun grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

James82 @ #27474: Pretty awful grid. One group was all lower case that gave it away. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27465: Brilliant! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27465: Very clever stuff! Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27463: Mostly easy, but I got stumped on one group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #27479: Nicely done. Not too tricky if you know what Yngling is! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27460: I missed the theme completely. Once resolved it was easy though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27459: Well put together. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27458: Very straightforward, but good fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27456: Excellent stuff! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27479: Well constructed and entertaining (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #27468: Gotcha, thanks BD. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #27476: Very nice! Managed to solve it but no idea about the Tuscan group. Should have spotted the Griffith connection. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nancy @ #27468: Great grid.thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27468: Levels of fame I suppose. You've got the 4 most famous in general population terms I'd imagine. Esther is apparently also part inspiration for Betty Boop. Who knew? (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27468: Esther - though generally you hear her stage name of Baby Esther more. One of the others in Esther's group also has a wiki page to herself - some religious fruitcake apparently. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27451: The green group is always the first group to be answered, so it will be different for different people. And there are no spelling mistakes in the grid. Good grid, thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Folkpunk @ #27471: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #27468: BinDipper - maybe I;ve missed something, which is swappable please? Without giving too much away, I don't know of any in the Delilah group which could go into the Ruth group? Thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Folkpunk @ #27434: Fair point Damien, but Sid James is with a i. (4 years, 6 months ago)

SkinnyWiz @ #27474: An excellent first grid, Rosie. Proud of you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sioux @ #27468: Loved it - clever idea! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27468: Really difficult to do a single theme grid without having more than one solution. I've never managed it. So fair play for giving it a punt. Unfortunately, the Ruth and Delilah groups contain swappables. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27473: Well played Wiz. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27468: Excellent - 5*! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27462: Quite good. For me, there were three very good groups, and one which had a couple of esoteric answers (eg poll). (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27317: It's a well known expression used in little explored areas of the Amazon where villagers rarely see people from the outside world. "Top o' the day to you, Sor", they say. Mea culpa. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Damien @ #27388: As a comics geek I need to let you know that Lead, Gold, Tin and Mercury are all members of the Metal Men from DC Comics. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27464: Decent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27454: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27471: Rated as easy, but I found it tricky !!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hindles @ #27471: Too hard for novices (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27456: Good one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dewi @ #27467: Boyle 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #186: Very nice grid. Missed the numbers and got left with too many 'fly's and didn't get lucky. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27438: 2 links and three connections. No chance in 3 minutes so helped by Shazam. You have a warped brain. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #9875: Nice grid, on the easy side. I prefer only one before/after type clue though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Berna Cox @ #27412: Fiendish. Scored absolutely nothing! *Hanging my head in shame* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayx @ #27459: Ivy League not accepted. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callipygean @ #6833: I entered "hidden relatives" for the second group. It needs to catch this. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27448: Brilliant! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27464: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27442: excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27455: Oh excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27448: Only took me three goes - still proud. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27449: Excellent again! Great fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27449: I watched that movie this afternoon! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27455: cool grid! Literally in some cases (4 years, 6 months ago)

Damien @ #27434: Genuinely think the Syd group could also be people with the surname James. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27449: Wonderful! Another masterpiece! 😁 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27448: Is this the first fully "five star" rated (by the public) grid? First one I've encountered! Very well done! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27448: Brilliant again, Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27442: 👏 (4 years, 6 months ago)

ChippyD @ #27451: Fairly sure you must have mis-spelled the answer for the green group? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27385: Very good. I thought road warrior is fine. It’s Mad Max! (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27402: Very good. Can’t claim to have done it in super quick time but achieved 10/10. Like the format. Highly accessible. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27450: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27449: Simplon , but not simple! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ChippyD @ #27448: Just when you thought the old game had been completely mined out on this site - another Lorna twist. Nice. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris H @ #27101: Really good grid. I need to brush up on W & G films as only knew two. Well done. Are you doing another one? (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27382: No not American, just blind and and didn’t see it. Very well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27449: Whodunnit, and can you name the famous train? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27448: Another winner (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27434: Very hard, lots of crossovers. Wanted to argue about Stuart, but actually you’re right! 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27442: Top grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27439: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27317: If you try to google "top of the day" it redirects you to " top of the morning" so I don't think it is really interchangeable- top of the hour is well known, to me at least, as the start of the hour, on the dot. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27446: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27442: 5* again! I look forward to yours now! took me ages but I got there- slow start this morning :) thank you thank you thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27441: very good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27437: good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27435: 5*, novel, fun, good overarching theme, not too obscure ie work- out- able :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27448: Whodunnit? (4 years, 6 months ago)

M @ #13605: Good wall, thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Clown @ #27317: Aren't day and hour interchangeable? I know 'top of the morning' is the traditional phrase but I'm sure I've heard 'top of the day' used, certainly more than 'top of the hour'. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27384: Ah, thanks, Fergus! I've never heard it, but I like it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Karen @ #27442: Loved this, very different. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Clown @ #27385: Mixu - I'd say class and keyboard warrior (bit like me now) are fairly common terms, road warrior less so. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Alex @ #27434: Lovely. Great grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27417: Good grid. Got em all with 18 seconds spare! (Terry; You might know Roscoe as "Fatty"!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #26480: Since when has Swansea been a British county? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27427: Good grid thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27439: Nice mixture. Not too obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27426: cool grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27433: Blimey that was intricate. Needed more than 3 minutes to get close to answering, and then nowhere near all of it. But wow, when you see the solution you can’t help but be impressed. Definitely fiendish, definitely 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27437: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27437: Liked it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27426: Thanks guys! We’re ok thanks Lorna - hope you’re safe and well too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27424: UTTERLY BRILLIANT! Totally unsolvable and I adored it, I'm still giggling. It's so stupid it's lovely, thanks for making me laugh :) :) Clearly a surreal brain Mixu p, I hope you set a real puzzly grid in future, I'm sure it would be up my street! I'll remember the name. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26190: Times three ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26190: Not so much at the moment Andy- kids are off school, I'm picking up shopping and prescriptions for older folks near me- only chance I get to leave the house! We're all coping as best, puzzgrid certainly helps! Big thanks to the NHS and anyone still keeping things running in shops, chemists etc. You're all heroes. Keep smiling :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

gmorgs @ #27426: Terrific, lucky to get 10/10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27428: Fantastic crossovers great job (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27432: I really enjoyed that, makes you think right to the end. Lovely :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27433: Whodunnit? Put the answers in the correct order to find out! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27384: anything relating to west side story is just fine with me Goneril - black maria used to be a name for a police van (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27414: Danger group a little weak. Otherwise great (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27426: very good Jahn! :) how are you doing? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27423: Nice theme, and it provides a great clue! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27427: Genius. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #3451: Snowboarding? Really? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27422: Delightful! Not too hard (1.30) but very satisfying to complete. Another winner, Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lobster @ #27402: A wall with a twist! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lobster @ #27405: Good ideas (4 years, 6 months ago)

andy munro @ #26190: Can I just say that surely it's time for a biog section of the most prolific setters. I'd love to know what you folks do in your spare time... ;-) Also, the banter between the players & setters is priceless. The "Lorna v Chris" thing will run and run! x (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27422: Tricky, especially the dining room clue ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27417: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27402: Great fun. Easy can still mean 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #10330: Fell for the turtle link. Nicely done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27424: Mad! :P (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27369: Lovely grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26815: Didn't accept homophones (4 years, 6 months ago)

Vic @ #27423: Enjoyed that one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27423: Very pleasing (4 years, 6 months ago)

KLF @ #27424: Utter nonsense, but I liked it. :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

KLF @ #27423: Pretty good, though a touch on the easy side? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #27422: Clever! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27408: great crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27398: Clever to add a crossover for a group that would otherwise have stood out like a sore thumb- good call, good word choice. Nicely done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Morrissey @ #27414: Hang on a minute BazG (if thats ever your real name)...Rocket is not a type of lettuce. Different family entirely. Rocket is part of the cabbage family, not lettuce. And the group with the boys names is just poor. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27381: Very enjoyable although Lavinia is indeed mystifying. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Wally @ #27417: Hooray for Harold Lloyd....:-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27412: Absolutely brilliant. I don't even like the PB, but this is brilliant. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #27381: A bit miffed about the Lavinia. What about Davina? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #27412: Need to reread a certain book! Doh! (4 years, 6 months ago)

UngaMonkeyP @ #27339: Kicking myself for not spotting the Pepys redherring. Very good wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27382: This was very good. A challenge - the “cans tickled” group as an implement. That would give the full story. (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27383: And the bridge is sorely missed at the moment (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27384: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mixu @ #27383: :-( (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mixu @ #27384: Good, good. Didn't get the west side story connection, but decent grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mixu @ #27390: Oooo, tricky one. Well done Terry. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hubabakanda @ #27384: Very good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27383: Elegant work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #27381: I can't find any qualified references that state Lavinia is a female form of David. The only thing I found was wikipedia and even that is tagged as citation needed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mixu @ #27385: Didn't complete it. What is Road Warrior? or Class Warrior? or Keyboard Warrior? (I'm obviously not well-versed on warriors....) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mixu @ #27305: The most fun I have ever had. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mixu @ #27311: I loved this grid. Well done Terry. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27382: I wanted to see if I could use this format, the 4x4 wall, to give you a "whodunnit" , I hope you enjoy :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27369: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Will @ #27296: Great grid. I was also thrown by England Rugby full backs (Webb, Beale, Brown) especially as Joseph is an England Rugby player too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27368: Custard is the best one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27375: Tricky - excellent - 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27366: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27362: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bloke @ #10899: Completely discounted iron as the answer to "our most common element". Got annoyed and looked it up, and iron is more abundant on earth than any other element (with H and He making up 98% of the matter in the universe I hadn't considered it particularly abundant) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27367: Exquisite - 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27379: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

ernst blofeld-finger @ #24376: wonderful invention for the kennedy connection. bravo... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27375: I'll take a look, thanks! (Sorry to converse on here but I don't know how else to!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #12924: A bit too easy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27375: not sure if you've seen them but the "truecockney" grids were good- not been on for a while, but nice, cryptic-ey ones that may up your avenue, if you can find them :) And thanks, that's really kind, but I can't steal your credit!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #5890: Quite easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27375: I took my cue from your "outside the box" grids, Lorna! 😁 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27375: Oh and 5*, by the way (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27375: I enjoy your work so much. Same surreal brain! Thanks for continuing to make stuff that is so my cup of tea :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27367: Yar- there are some less well known facts here, but I tried to pair a tricky with an obvious to keep the balance right and keep up a level of challenge- glad you won. Hope life is ok! Thanks all for very kind comments x (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bipin @ #27367: Nice work, challenging but fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27373: very enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27367: brill... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #27368: Crossovers were fantastic - Custard the cartoon cat was way to obscure for me but you can't know them all. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27367: Never heard of chicken fish! (Still got it though!) Very good - clever red herrings too! (4 years, 6 months ago)

KezT @ #27329: (4 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzGridFan @ #27365: Can Puzzgridders please stop using Coronavirus in their quizzes? People are dying right now, it's not appropriate for entertainment purposes. It's not topical puzzling, it's inappropriate. Sorry if I'm being oversensitive but maybe use it when this is all over. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #238: Quite challenging with some good rabbit holes - which I fell into even when I only had 8 options left. I completely missed the footprint group reason! Think this deserves to be higher up the "best" table as it as 50 as I did it and I enjoyed it much more than some of the others which I found to be in the wrong categories. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #5890: Great fun but dead easy - or maybe I am on a roll tonight. All done in 40 secs and spotted the groups instantly. Full marks. Nice but in the wrong category altogether. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #17624: 2.14 left to play and 100% in this super easy grid. A decent compilation and the satisfaction of a good outcome but in the wrong category given how simple it is. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #11619: Local rag? Where exactly is local? This bamboozled me and ruined an otherwise exemplary grid with a cracking idea at its core. I didn't get to everything in the time owing to mis-matching things all over the place but I did enjoy the concept. What a shame about the newspaper nonsense. (Ours is a Citizen/tabloid/freesheet) . An alternative is Rising (film from the 1980s with Bruce Willis). (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27367: you'd (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #17728: Great grid but solved with 2.07 to go as I just sorted it quickly by lucky guesses, avoiding red herrings. Thanks for it but believe it should be ranked as easy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27367: haha it took me two minutes to work out the structure, which you think I would have been able to work out :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27368: really hard overlapping! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #21449: I struggled to do this in the time. I knew three group reasons but kept selecting the wrong groups of 4. So I got just one group in the time but all the answers. Enjoyed it very much and it was a decent challenge. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27367: I had them at first but I'm nasty and took them away- they made it a bit obvious ;) glad you liked (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27368: great, plenty of crossovers :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27367: loved it - got it on the second go. I needed asterisks!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #1875: Another excellent grid solved with just 1 minute left. Some reasonable foxy red herrings but enough to go on to get 100% score. Well done and deserves its place in the top 50 best grids. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #9687: Struggled for a while to put the right combos together but knew what I was looking for - some excellent red herrings made it fun. However it all fell into place with a minute left on the clock and full marks. Whew. Thanks for setting it and I am not surprised it features in the best list. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #20330: Sneaking the simple answers under the bar was clever; sometimes I forget to take things literally! (4 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #27358: Clemenceau (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27360: Really clever, too hard for me but I loved the hidden words! And I love to see a false group used. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27346: Kept sticking theophilus in the wrong place, but 5* from me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27347: Great crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27343: Everything everyone else said! Hilarious and challenging. What I love about yours is how completely unrelated the clues always look at first glance. Those are great grids, because they're full of light bulb moments. Do you see what I did there? :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

jacob @ #27358: "Clemenceau" wrong, as stated in previous comment. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27342: Very difficult to have such similar groups, with red herrings, and still keep it a unique solution, but you pulled it off, so very well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27339: Fantastic and an EVIL red herring with Pepys, but a great clue to the group. That's what it's all about. Lovely work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27335: Excellent 5* very entertaining :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #27300: Sett is a badgers home (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27295: Not cheating, in my book- a lot of mine are designed for that. We're not on the show, it's just a useful platform and format for any kind of puzzle that fits the 4x4 frame- So reset away! It opens the scope for codes, cryptics etc. :) :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #27304: Very pleasing!thankyou muchly! (4 years, 6 months ago)

elliot @ #27358: you spelt clemenceau wrong dont make me come back in 3 years (4 years, 6 months ago)

kangaroodee @ #27352: Unbelievably hard - didn't get a single one, even when I could see the groups! But really good connections and well though out. Well done! (4 years, 6 months ago)

kangaroodee @ #27357: 2 good groups, 2 not so much... (4 years, 6 months ago)

kangaroodee @ #27358: Not many red herrings and some tenuous links (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27317: Nice one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #12924: I liked the nicknames group; the others were perhaps a trifle too easy... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27359: Obscure tennis knowledge (4 years, 6 months ago)

eurydice @ #27358: The problem with the most common British surnames is that they are very likely to have groups with common Christian surnames - I went for Steve. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #16594: Good mix (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27346: Not remotely rubbish! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27343: This one beat me, but still 5*s. Hadn’t heard the light bulb story before. (Cockwomble made me laugh!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

MrsS @ #27358: is it not Clemenceau? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27339: Loved this one! Of course with reference to Pepys, maybe best leave it unsolved? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #27318: Lovely grid. Enjoyed it immensely (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Wank @ #27351: WANK (4 years, 6 months ago)

kangaroodee @ #27339: Great grid :) there was one staring me in the face the whole time but I couldn't see it until it resolved. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #27324: Wow. The "cent" group is inspired. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Christobal @ #27317: Good one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Christobal @ #27335: Tobogganmallet! Ha ha ha! Love it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27346: Nice one! Not rubbish. Sometimes the ones you don't like are deemed "very good" by others. I didn't know the Bailly link, but I got the group by educated guesswork. Lube group was good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27341: Good grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon Hutchinson @ #20330: not seen this type of puzzle before so didn't know what to do - just one correct. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27346: Got 3/4 of the way into making this and then realised it was rubbish. Seems a waste not to finish it though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tracy Gibson @ #20330: Ignore that question - just worked out how. (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizQuack @ #27336: My bad - I meant to mark it as Fiendish! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27324: Very good! I got stuck thinking a link was "ice": ice cream, I smell...! 😄 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27295: I cheated! I reset the time and had to google a few, but I got there in the end. Another good one Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #27336: very unenjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Christobal @ #27336: This doesn't qualify as "very easy". I'd say it's a medium! I got nothing. I guessed the batman connection, but there were so many red herrings, I couldn't finish it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27316: Tough enough - I play cricket & missed group - mix of equipment and terminology was awkward. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27324: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27318: Nice grid - required thought ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27295: Ginger-haired Fraggle!! Brought a smile :) 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

bart @ #27318: tricky bits here! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27289: Very good. A sense of achievement, probably misplaced! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aaron Lennon @ #27311: Superb. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Peter @ #27307: Slightly too obscure, with not enough overlap. But good fun - thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

John @ #27314: Great grid! thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

John @ #27309: All the categories are very similar... All wordy. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26898: Interesting and original. I have mixed feelings about themed walls: extra layer of cleverness is fun, but if it's all one general area of knowledge, you'll have those who solve it in seconds and then those who never will. I would have enjoyed any of these groups very much in a grid with three other, unrelated sets. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #11695: v. good...what is a fire ant though? Theme 1 should accept "army" as a link. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27306: good, fun grid- always enjoy looking for hidden alcohol! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27305: not often that an easy one is also this much fun, that is quite an achievement! Lovely, themed, colourful grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27309: Good one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #27294: Very good !! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #27307: Hindsight is a wonderful thing... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aaron Lennon @ #27305: Love it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #9875: Steel is also a type of drum, and rain is also a type of precipitation (4 years, 6 months ago)

Akheel @ #26898: That was pretty interesting, I had to make educated guesses for some and so barely got an 8. That was rather hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

MizQuiz @ #27304: verrrrrrrrry nice wall indeed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Zoë M @ #27301: Only one round rapid, not five. Disappointed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27305: Neat (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lobster @ #27301: Tough (4 years, 6 months ago)

Josh @ #27299: Your way to clever for us (well me) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #27304: 10/10s make me very happy ^__^ (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terry @ #27301: My favourite Mr. is Mr. Tickle. Disappointing he wasn't included in this grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terry @ #27297: Jive is the Aldi version of a Twix. I think they are better than a Twix. Do you all agree? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon C @ #27250: A fun grid and not too difficult to solve, but I think some of the allowable answers are too restrictive. I would have got 7 points but just didn't use the right words so ended up with 4. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27289: ah ,thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27298: good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27300: a lovely good quality grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terry @ #27294: Bit cheeky (4 years, 6 months ago)

Neil @ #27250: I enjoyed that! I chose a word beginning with “v” for the vanguard group - could that be used as a correct answer? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terry @ #26997: Oh wait.... is Kim Jong Un not that gymnast? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Shivam @ #26898: I think that was very difficult and I just about got 10 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Berna Cox @ #27297: Yay! My first 10/10! So proud ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Batch @ #13: Unhappy with the rigid definition of "plant Genus" (4 years, 6 months ago)

Batch @ #3: Reasonable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27203: 5* well done - very hard to have a theme for a whole grid (though made it fiendish) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27297: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27292: Top grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

jms @ #27289: You're good...always feel please when i get one of yours! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27289: 5* for quality and difficulty (What else from Lorna?😉) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27287: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Frisbee @ #23643: Very good , liked the variety and possible red herrings without being too specialised or difficult (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #27297: Nice easy going grid. The phonetic alphabet has been a little overdone, but at least to celebs or Harry Potter (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27296: very clever- I'm not a soap fan but was there a false group there? Top work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27297: Although NATO has been done to death you did something new, clever and interesting with the idea so kudos for that :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27283: Yes I thought so too that's why I added clues! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Petirrojo @ #27008: Ouch! Very tricky, kicked myself when I saw the solution (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27292: wow really impressive (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #14868: quite clever....what is a base jump? (4 years, 6 months ago)

CarryOnPuzz @ #27294: No offence intended- it is all in your mind! A bit of light in a moment of dark? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27287: a really nice one to keep kids amused while stuck at home, thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27283: Ouch! Really good, though muppets were devilishly hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27210: Only one link but all 4 connections. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #27281: Harris, Saville, Glitter, Hall pmsl (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27221: Full of spelling mistakes and very poor quality clues. I got 0. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27285: Smeg!! Good grid mind (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27285: lovely (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #8192: Loved this!!!!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #1166: Really good grid, well thought out and enjoyed it immensely (4 years, 6 months ago)

Charlie @ #27244: TEN (4 years, 6 months ago)

Charlie @ #27261: Dull (4 years, 6 months ago)

Charlie @ #27268: Well done! (4 years, 6 months ago)

peas @ #7712: Great grid, finished with 5s to spare so very satisfying (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27279: Genius (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy Munro @ #27210: Fix the Dr glitch (4 years, 6 months ago)

trash @ #27168: its trash (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27273: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Bacterial bubonic. True. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27273: Sanitiser yipes? Resiny Sea split? As sinister yelps? I don't get it, Pip! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27202: Too kind chippy- but it's shutting my brain up that's the usual trouble- for example I'm ignoring a craving for a fish supper now- maybe I should just call you D! I loved this grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27278: Ah thanks! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27282: nice hidden words (4 years, 6 months ago)

ChippyD @ #27202: @lorna I think there's enough evidence here you usually DO listen to you brain :D (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kevin @ #27278: One of my favourite grids! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #27279: Eh?! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27281: cheeky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27252: Superb (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #27273: Yersinia Pestis (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mo @ #27280: (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27279: 5 stars again! Top work- I love the idea of mixed style groups. Got it from the anagrams except for the dog collar group, but that was down to my lack of knowledge. You aced it again. Lovely to solve a cryptic thank you :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chrissy @ #24034: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27279: Sorry... "Badly behaving Neil" group marks incorrect, when you give the correct answer. You know you got it right, so give yourself the point. Apologies ☹️ (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joel @ #26898: I should have gotten 8, I said that they were all types of metaphor for the green letters but it still marked wrong... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chrissy @ #25921: Great puzzle (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chrissy @ #26649: Loved it, I’m a beginner (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27274: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27273: Clever and challenging- lovely anagrams! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27271: good anagrams fisty (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27272: better every time! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27261: Interesting and novel format and you have a good message! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27253: partial words are always a bit of a giveaway but THANK YOU for using "gallinaceous" in a grid! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27252: good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #27274: Nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27210: nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27251: red group should have accepted "mountain" (4 years, 6 months ago)

Clivff @ #27205: To be fair to the creator, I've seen similar categories on Only Connect and it's nice to sneak in something so simple to fool the deep thinkers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Patchy @ #15868: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Patchy @ #4720: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27210: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #3456: Rocinante gave a set away and I did quite well until not getting the bare group right. Not a bad test for us. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #7712: Solved once it was laid out for me but only got two before the time was up. The Windsor group I was pleased to get right but wouldn't have known about the place and the man. (4 years, 6 months ago)

andy munro @ #508: dead head in two different categories!!? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #13910: fell down on the answer to kappa group by writing in the wrong thing - stupid me! Otherwise straight forward (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #12814: Excellent grid which I solved with 1.41 to go and had full marks although I hadn't sussed the incubator group until it fell into place having got the other three and then I saw what I had been missing. Nice. (4 years, 6 months ago)

andy munro @ #488: Great grid! Thanks for setting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dorsky @ #27223: Bit vague ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27199: Excellent. Thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27198: Lovely. Thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #27188: Thank goodness for Lorna and BinDipper. The rest of you should maybe lighten up. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dorsky @ #27251: Evil one cuz !!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dorsky @ #27249: Best grid yet (4 years, 6 months ago)

andy munro @ #439: Some good red herrings in this one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27247: Some neat ideas, but outside my domain, I’m afraid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27224: Nice. I think the strike group could also apply to music/songs (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27218: Very creative. Managed to complete it, but I didn't get the links for 2 groups. (And I had swallow instead of swan, but that didn't make any difference! 😄) (4 years, 6 months ago)

joss @ #27246: The countries one is not good. Only state and perhaps nation are really synonymous with country as they relate to the modern sovereign state. A domain, province, realm, and empire do not have to be countries. Otherwise good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27247: Very good! I didn't solve them all but I was on the right lines with them all. Another minute I would've had 'em! 😄 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Josh Turnbull @ #27215: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #27210: My first perfect score! :D (4 years, 6 months ago)

Michael @ #27243: Absolutely fiendish... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Paul @ #13981: Terrible answer checking wording!!! Shame as the wall is a nice challenge. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mo @ #27243: Too simple (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lucas @ #27215: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Eddie @ #27241: Ten (4 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #27238: Agree with Tom, Definitions need some work. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #27207: Great grid, love the leg group especially. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #27238: Nice grid. I got all the categories but they seem to be very hard to categorise easily - I'd add some more valid descriptions if possible as other users will likely find the same. (4 years, 6 months ago)

VJ @ #27218: Great fun to do, lovely ideas. (4 years, 6 months ago)

MONICA @ #27215: ??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

rico @ #27235: good grid!! oh man (4 years, 6 months ago)

bart @ #27235: cool grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

andy munro @ #85: Christmas Jones? Hmmm. Tenuous but had to be the answer... liked the rest of it. Thanks for setting (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27230: tough having two partial word groups, but I loved the false group! And yes I fell for it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

B @ #17624: I wrote 'letters' for the final line and it was cited as incorrect. (4 years, 6 months ago)

peas @ #13910: Great grid and explanations (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27226: Ooh at last! One I can do! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Colin @ #27199: Brilliant. The quality on this site has rocketed in the last week. So many amazing grids. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Berna Cox @ #27210: Good fun. Have yet to score more than 7/10, though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ciaran @ #27210: doesn't accept "Dr" (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #27200: Lorna..... is right...and be sensitive with these grids,vulnerable people may use them to escape from the current reality.that seems a good idea to me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Johnly @ #27149: Love your imaginative grids. Keep them coming! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tims @ #27210: The only glitch was not accepting Dr as an answer. but good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27188: AMEN, sister! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27211: Always brave to include homophones but I liked them! (4 years, 6 months ago)

kangaroodee @ #27211: Think one grid depends on accent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27195: Primrose- found this for you to explain- "There are six types of quark, known as flavours: up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top" ferguspukas- the difficulty rating is chosen by the setter but then adjusted by people rating it. Drop ship is fairly common I think, quantum physics I'd call challenging the realms of common knowledge but not niche either (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27210: both good and easy, which is rare! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27208: Interesting idea- got 2 groups by putting similar words together and trying each number- didn't know what they were (games) but Douglas Adams is always recognisable! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27207: very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27202: The subconscious is a funny thing- whilst playing I thought- oo, I could use hidden facial expressions as a group- and I STILL didn't get that group! I need to listen to my brain more! Doh! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Frodo @ #27205: Things beginning with ‘b’? Really? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27200: I just want to clarify terms- sorry to be pedantic but I think this is actually important- that group are people MOST AT RISK of suffering extreme consequences from covid19- ANYONE CAN GET IT, SPREAD IT, CARRY IT, with or without symptoms. PLEASE take the control measures seriously. I'm sure you know this but the wording of the grid may have caused ambiguity for some. Stay safe everyone, love XX Protect the NHS as well as yourself. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27188: I don’t understand why seeing a 10 on your screen matters. I don’t even bother typing in my connection when solving. I click the ? and if the reason matches what I thought, that’s a point. I don’t have to see it. The website generally seems to be in a Catch 22. It’s great as a free site. If we were paying we’d want loads more functionality, but then the numbers playing and setting would drop off a cliff and the site would die. I think we just have to accept it as it is and make do, (and be grateful to the site owners). (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27177: Had to look up glass. Who knew? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27198: sorry for the multiple posts- my computer went crazy last night- hence no grids post that message! Glad it's ok now- not the time for my computer to break!!! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27172: got it at the end! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27208: Wow, so good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

PobbleBonk @ #27198: We (me and the voices in my head) really enjoyed this after solving it; it was a challenge during the heat of the action. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #44: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27198: Thank you all for those kind comments, especially Lorna for really driving the point home! 😄 I have to add that it was your creativity, Lorna, that inspired me to think outside the box somewhat! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #27195: Drop ship is completely fine. I'm surprised in these days of Amazon that anyone hasn't heard that phrase. "Unsual," on the other hand... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #45: (4 years, 6 months ago)

ahay @ #26824: Thank you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ahay @ #27168: Really clever and fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #15: Straightforward. Good morale boost getting it all right! (4 years, 6 months ago)

helen @ #22781: they are technically homophones since they sound alike, but have different meanings AND different spellings. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #7: Tricky. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27199: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27199: Nice one. Really liked the Pleasance group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27199: A very enjoyable grid! Good range of knowledge required to complete and find connections. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27198: Really enjoyed that (4 years, 6 months ago)

Piffy giro @ #26962: Parpadelle (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #27198: A touch of indigestion Lorna? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #27200: Sorry there's a few issues with this for me: coronavirus group didn't accept vulnerable people; guardian and observer don't match the other newspapers inclusion of 'The' in title; I'm assuming you mean grandfather clock? And is 123 meaning the talking clock? If so then talking clock would be a more suitable clue. Hope this helps. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27198: Perfect in every way and I loved it 5* and more if I could. Totally fair and get-able but challenging and entertaining from start to finish. No arcane knowledge required- those refs I didn't know I could guess from context. Lovely concept, well executed and skilfully balanced. thank you so much :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27189: Nice mixture (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27195: Drop ship? Charm is a quality, not an adjective. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27197: Well done, Lorna. You are prolific and clever. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Greg @ #10577: Fantastic wall. Really good stuff. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27195: "Easy"??? WAY too esoteric - drop ship? quarks?? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27198: Great idea. Bordering on the obscure. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27178: Excellent! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27163: I'm with Paul. Can link was tenuous, otherwise great grid. I see you're an American, which explains the red herrings in the spelling! 😄 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27168: Good grid Ethan! Keep it up! 😁 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #27177: Liked this one! (Except the Sprout group!) Nectar group and drive group were fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Helly @ #11619: Brilliant! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #27197: Very enjoyable - one group completely OVER my head as usual. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #3757: foxed by bar which meant I missed out on one point as couldn't parse that one. Nae mind it was a decent grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #3188: Piece of cake - great grid with some cracking solutions but very easy. 2.15 left and 100% - smug me? Somewhat! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27188: One of the drawbacks of this otherwise brilliant website is the inability for the setter to edit their own work- if you make a mistake all you can do is resubmit; neither is it possible to save your initial for to easily edit. If a mistake is big enough some of us will go to the trouble, but to be fair to this setter you can't expect everyone to- especially if its in the points not awarded family of complaints. Just mentally award yourself the points if you know you're right! I hope it doesn't spoil your fun :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #685: Very good - an excellent grid which I solved bar getting the reason for the hat group. Perfectly happy to be thwarted by a good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #27188: Hmm - what the heck is wrong with king for goodness sake. Lost a star from me as I was doing ok otherwise. I'm taking full marks. How can the comments ever be constructive when a setter can't amend his/her grid once posted??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27168: Well done, Ethan. Keep making puzzles for us all to enjoy (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27181: Good, intelligent grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27173: Clever! Thought I was off to a good start but just didn't get it in time! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27172: This feels like a classic OC wall! Enjoyable range of clues and red herrings - well done, Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27181: Seemed difficult at first, but unfolded quite quickly. Not sure about the extra 't' on Juliet though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27181: Seemed difficult at first, but unfolded quite quickly. Not sure about the extra 't' on Julie though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27176: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #25428: First Puzzgrid of the day! A good mixture of clues to get the brain working... (4 years, 6 months ago)

BAUER @ #27190: Muppet brain (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27188: Got them all but as Christo says, does not accept "shark" or "king". Also last line does not accept "books". A shame as it is a very good grid, made better by having no celebs, Harry Potter or Cluedo clues ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

HannahJ @ #27186: 'Expresso' should be Espresso. Otherwise good though, worth a redo with a replacement clue there. (4 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #27163: Nice grid. Is this Ethan's mum or dad? - I thought there was a similar mind at work. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Charlie @ #27132: What is the last group connection? I got everything but the last group and could not make it out the connection (4 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #27168: I had to look at it again and do the name one in a different order before I understood it. Well done Ethan! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #1396: All I spotted was Moons & Chess but couldn't sort it out all. Quite difficult. (4 years, 6 months ago)

christo @ #27188: Doesn't accept 'shark' or 'king' for the relevant groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ttnemk2301 @ #27188: two of the answers are showing as incorrect, which you might have got correct. if so, just check the explanation and you'll see that you actually got the answers correct (4 years, 6 months ago)

Charlie @ #27158: got them all correct but while my description of their correlation was synonymous, I still did not get the point (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #8403: I couldn't get the 2nd one..clever. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Roberto @ #27178: Very good...tricky,but that's the idea. Enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #27176: Well done, guessed a couple of the SC roles (4 years, 6 months ago)

M @ #27181: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #27050: Both good reasons Tess!i hope you find more grids ti enjoy. Good grid for our newest group of gridsters btw.,,. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26617: must admit its cleverness but only line made any real sense to me (elements) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Geoff @ #27158: Good grid but though I guessed the connections correctly the timbre and track answer definitions were too restrictive. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27170: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27176: enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

joss @ #27177: difficult but fun!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #27168: Loved this! Well done, Ethan! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #27169: Fell at the last! It was a DOH! moment. Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark @ #27176: Baby animals not accepted??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27120: flying lotus?? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phil @ #27168: Nice one - very enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tess @ #27050: I really liked this one because it was random and I like random things like this.I also liked it because it was easy and I am a child trying to do these puzzgrids. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phil @ #27173: I could see them but not get them in pace quick enough! (4 years, 6 months ago)

quarantine @ #27168: Love this grid, good job Ethan! (4 years, 6 months ago)

greenood @ #27172: Good wall, sooo hard haha! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lindy @ #27168: Great grid, Ethan. Loved your name group (4 years, 6 months ago)

greenood @ #27173: Nice wall, I could see some of the groups but so hard to group them correctly haha! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27168: You should thank your parents Ethan. If they'd called you Nathaniel, you'd have had big problems. Nice 3/4 of a grid Ethan ;-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave L @ #27114: First go, wow. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave L @ #27116: Impressive, enjoyed that, thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #11283: some grids are too specialised. Great if you are in the know but tedious if not (4 years, 6 months ago)

Esq @ #27138: Great herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #11284: frustrating but good, only got one line (pallindromes and then put start and end same letter lol), saw the "love" and "honda" connections early on but could not put the correct lines together in time. As said frustrating but good (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #11287: good brain teaser, did not remember "music" (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #9339: nice grid with just right amount of cross overs (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27172: well done, timely, funny AND clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bing @ #8403: Nice mix but very easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

VJ @ #27172: tough but fair, great fun!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27171: fiendish indeed - wipeout but didn't mind (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27173: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27164: I think as in the line "run a tight ship" paul (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27173: 5* perfect mix of crossovers and red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27149: Too much for me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27163: not bad, though the can line was a bit tortuous (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27164: "tightship"? - shiptight poss, needs work (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27165: not a potter fan (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27168: i liked it and i'm only 58 1/2yrs, well done ethan (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27140: Some novel ideas, but really tricky. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #27171: Very clever indeed (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27169: very nice, not heard of india green but there you go (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizGav @ #27161: Thanks Lorna (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27169: Got the connections but mainly for the wrong reasons (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #27163: Enjoyable, although I missed the can connection and got paintings but not the technique. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #27168: Daz ,it spells his name! A fine grid Ethan,well done you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

jms @ #27168: Nice one Ethan x (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27154: Yeah, I liked that one... well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Daz @ #27168: very good but i dont get the last one? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27161: really clever ideas- did I detect a false group too? tricky and fun, well done :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27151: re Bing's comment- double entries automatically make a grid non unique (ie swap- able answers) as you can get the right answer but get no positive result if you chose the box which the setter entered in the other group. If I may suggest- if one word fits two groups just enter it once and have it as a red herring- it makes the grid more fun to solve but more importantly more solvable. Then you make sure your red herrings can only swap from one group to another without being replaced ie more than one viable solution. Other than that it was a good effort but double entries always knacker a grid if in different groups, sorry :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27132: thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27168: Wow, amazing! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bing @ #27158: Toight (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bing @ #27159: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bing @ #27151: Not sure it works with two Ash. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27144: ballard? Is that a name? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bontoft @ #27132: Hi guys, the last link was that all of the countries have two-word capital cities :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27149: Wow - quite a grid. I crashed and burned but still gave it 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27158: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27154: Really enjoyed that - 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

GreenTea @ #27168: Well done Ethan - good effort! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27165: Thanks for setting. Not difficult for someone with kids of the right age :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27159: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Brian @ #27155: I hate you Japi (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27158: Enjoyed that. Not super hard but nicely constructed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #27156: Unfortunately, the typo spoilt this grid for me. I ruled out Alexandria as a football suffix because it should be Alexandra, without the i. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CHARON @ #22220: I accidentally pressed to check the third row before entering the answer. It gave me "correct". I deliberately didn't give an answer for the fourth row, gave me another"correct". 10/10. ;-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27149: Virtuosic! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #15775: Wow chuffed to get ten. Enjoyed it thanks. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27156: amusing and clever :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27158: so elegant. Very complete and skilled (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jon @ #27140: this was hard! but good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jon @ #27154: this was really hard but luckily I am very smart xx (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27149: Stunning, nearly got there.. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #17376: I wish the author would have allowed 'tree' for the 'parts of a plant' category. It does apply to all four clues. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25428: nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27086: should have accepted 'formal address' (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27151: Fair grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27154: Inert gases led me astray (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27154: You're shaping up to be one of my favourites- always skilfully done, always original. Keep at it! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

RobbieC @ #27154: The synonyms link is a bit of a vague link. Synonyms are of something usually. (4 years, 6 months ago)

mk87 @ #583: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #27154: Thanks Lorna! Still new to this so taking me a while to construct, glad it was enjoyed =] (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ostentatiously_cryptic @ #27149: 1/10! Too hard for me unfortunately. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray kemp @ #31: Quite fifficult (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ostentatiously_cryptic @ #27154: Well done. Completed in under a minute! Somehow only managed 7/10 though. Difficult last group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27154: I say, that's jolly clever old Bean! Got me with bud. Top work (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27149: Keir, I've been out of my box for years, mate. I no longer fit in the box. The box is somewhere in the attic, with all the bats. But there is method in my gobbledygook. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27134: I was SO tempted to have "crotch petiole" as one of that group, but I wanted to keep the French word false group and I liked my ankles clue, which was nicer and a bit kinder to the solver! Too many anagrams and too hard a spot, bit stretchy. Shame, though! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Wardie 1967 @ #27136: Note well is nota bene (nb) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #27143: quarantine did this grid 4 hrs 42 minutes ago, I wouldn't have completed it in that time (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #18423: there's easy and too easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27149: I mean, this is out of the box thinking for a wall. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26587: Alternative name for either drop curtain (theatre) or dust sheet (decorating etc) I think. I think its mostly American Use (4 years, 6 months ago)

Julia @ #24182: Got the Simpsons theme but got all the answers wrong ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27139: amusing grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Callum @ #27147: Amazing borad (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27134: Couldn't see my toes from my ankles...grrr. ;-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26025: agree mister tom - john mayor? (major) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Paul Johnston @ #27101: Very good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27144: clever, good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dysgwr Bach @ #27101: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for your comments (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26587: sorry but what is a "drop"cloth? (4 years, 6 months ago)

helen callow @ #27139: I' ll get better ,honest (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27141: good false group, had me chasing my tail for a while! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27134: It's *nearly* an anagram, like the other group, but I had to add an s to keep it a unique solution. It's just there as a red herring :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cagier @ #4720: Great grid. Had Eerie Indiana in my head for most of it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #27132: last group? whaaaat??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cagier @ #27101: Good wall there. Didn't do too well tho. (4 years, 6 months ago)

stefan @ #9913: you've had three years to fix this now check out my odd days out you loser (4 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Quinn @ #27137: Fluked it on my first go but only because I saw Carrey on a bus advert for Sonic recently (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #27138: Add a p on the end for a new word? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pattikins @ #26858: Ok for the first try (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #26965: Nice one. Some good red herrings in there. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27134: Different, which is good. I understood the link but didn’t quite “get” Hector Toeclips as a clue. Did I miss something? If I don’t know, I like to learn! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27133: Yep, beat me. I knew them all thanks to GCSE English, teenage kids and being born in the 70s. And still missed most of them! Well played :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27127: Great! I got the bacon group, thinking the connection was Richard! Your connection better though :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27126: Nice grid. I haven’t heard of Elizabeth in that group but hey ho. Thanks for submitting (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27132: Easy enough, but took a little working out. Thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Emma @ #27132: I don't understand the link between the countries, can anyone explain please? (4 years, 6 months ago)

quarantine @ #27136: never heard of note well so that threw me :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27122: 5*! Wordplay, crossovers and general knowledge all in one grid! Not too difficult but I didn’t get 10. Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

quarantine @ #27143: very tricksy with lots of overlaps! nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy Munro @ #27019: Redskin & foreskin? Isn't that a little triggering for some? I enjoyed it, though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy Munro @ #27116: *Duck board is a thing? More of a groan than a hurrah. But I like your others. * Yes it is! Must hike more. Thanks for setting. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy Munro @ #27134: Very good! Really liked the concealed parts of the body! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andy Munro @ #27086: Hmm. Good overall. Didn't get a point for aristocratic forms of address. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon C @ #27075: Apart from being a little too particular re the format of the answer in the Colossus group that was good, thank you. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #27127: Thanks everyone! Good point Bin - I already had Loo and Gif so I went with it. Changed Hill to Hil to make it fit as a herring for the other group. Will try harder next time! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sarah @ #186: enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27138: My high rating is in no way connected to my elation at some lucky guesswork on the Up group :-). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27138: My high rating is in no way connected to my elation at some lucky guesswork on the Up group :-). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27137: 👍good clean fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27116: Meets your high standard once again, very good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27086: Really good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #27114: Very good gridding. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Char @ #27101: Brilliant wall, the Beer group nearly caught me out! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Michael @ #27137: Good double entries in there! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27137: lots of clever crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27138: inspired crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Boots McGoot @ #27137: It let me have "songs" as the link , which is extremely generous 😂 (4 years, 6 months ago)

greenood @ #27137: Nice wall :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

greenood @ #27122: Good wall :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

greenood @ #27127: Nice wall :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #27121: goldfish group too vague. Otherwise good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: Based on a genuine mistake and NOT clever or intentional, but soddit, I'll take the credit ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27124: Not deserved, Goneril, you were critical but polite about it, it was a bit harsh- to see both sides it can be upsetting for some to receive criticism on here. Do try not to let it get to you fake alias- people can be much worse than this- though I do understand and please keep it friendly- it's only a game!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mathsmoses @ #27136: Nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mathsmoses @ #27135: Excellent grid. Annoyed at myself for not getting CODE (4 years, 6 months ago)

Viv @ #27109: Fun and testing (4 years, 6 months ago)

Davemac @ #27101: Really good, fun wall, especially for younger people (I'm quite old and couldn't finish it 😕). (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27132: could you possibly add a bit more to your explanations please? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27127: good red herrings- I was chasing loo roll around for ages (feels familiar...) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27125: good debut thanks for joining in! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27126: brilliant red herrings! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27127: Thanks Aqui. 3 great diverse groups. Not sure about that fourth one though - the amongs one. It kind of lets the puzzle down by giving non-words and making the solution obvious. I’m guessing you had it to get loo in there but maybe water_____ would have been a better 4th group? (4 years, 6 months ago)

WordSmith @ #27133: Nice. You don't often get a mix of classic literature and youth culture. I failed on the latter. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hannah @ #27101: Lovely wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

GB @ #27101: Excellent wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

LJ @ #27101: Great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

B @ #27101: GOOd (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27120: What Jahn said. Thanks for setting (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27114: great first effort (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27120: yay, I got it all! Must have been easier :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27112: It was worth the effort. I learned 2 things: 1) you watch The house of games and 2) despite watching the house of games I cannot remember celeb names for love nor money, let alone what they are an anagram of. Damnit. Clear what the theme was but I just couldn't solve fast enough. If I refreshed the page once every few minutes, maybe! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27119: classic times! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27108: :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27117: hard for me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27116: :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27055: Yep - what Lorna said. Grids with a single theme are especially hard to do in that respect. I have a solution that I apply regularly. I don’t do them :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27121: neat! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27122: good one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27104: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27111: Love that one red herring counts on a common spelling error. Cheers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27122: Fab! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27117: More medium than hard, or possibly just my wheelhouse. Quack! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27108: Welp: I loved this. Nothing more annoying than when inconsistent tenses or parts of speech make the group seem wrong (or right). I knew what those three groups were right away, and got them after a few missteps. Found the cook group easiest by miles. I didn't get the iron group, and as much as I'd love to blame American spelling, I have to admit I was not close. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27124: Gosh, not sure I earned that "dickhead," but noted. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Randy Vellacott @ #27124: Never heard the name monster or fiend for the devil although these seemed like a group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #27121: Perfectly judged for me. Fair enough to be able to get 10, but challenging enough that i only had 5s spare when i finished. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #15756: Good to see a six-way anagram sneaking in there. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27116: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27112: Huh, so more people actually like this stuff. Okay, I'll make more, but a heck of a lot easier. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27122: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

MidlandCobb @ #27125: 1st grid lmao, pls no harsh critique (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27112: Thanks again for the sage words, Lorna. But I mean, most people go to this site for walls that they have a chance of solving and couldn't give less of a flying fridge. I do really feel I'm going too headfirst into obscure territory and making technical mishaps along the way. Well, I did pre-empt it, at least. And I do except your advice, Lorna. Why? Because you can actually give criticism where it's needed, instead of throwing a paddy like our good old buddy Primrose. The only good point they brought up was with the inaccuracies (I will try and make more of a conscious effort to fact-check my connections) but outside of that, it's another whinge-fest. I mean, Lorna, you yourself have made a lot of walls with similar solutions, right? Albeit more well constructed, but still well-put together. And do you ever get as much flak as this? I'm not saying these users have it out for me, and I don't think this wall is good, to be honest. My strive for out-of-the-box grids is veering way too far into left field that it's pretty much impossible to get my try-hard desires are left glaringly exposed and came back to bite me in the rear end. But do I really deserve to get crapped on like the lavatories at a Mexican restaurant? Maybe a little. And I'm not saying I don't take criticism, it's just I don't take it to people who dish it out in such a catty manner. Anyway, this is a turning point. The time that I finally try to put a bit more effort into my walls and not take all of the criticism to heart. I mean, I would say that Primrose's comment didn't piss me off, but I pretty much wrote more than I have in this one reply than I have in my entire exams over one little comment. So, for the sake of my ego, my free study time and my fingers, I'm gonna wrap this comment up. Lorna, thank you once again. Primrose, you're welcome for the three minutes. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27112: "Fuss" is a noun as well as a verb. Pedantries (uh, maybe like this'n) seems fine. First time I've ever given 5 stars when I've not gotten a single thing. This is gorgeous, but very very difficult. Agree with Lorna entirely. More, please! (4 years, 6 months ago)

fake alias @ #27124: - Fiend was from the thesaurus - Onflow is a word dickhead (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27124: A few here I don't quite get--is flow used that way?--and I'm not sure the answer to the fiend group is even true. That said, fun to do and I think the Pete group is original and excellent. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Quarantineddddd @ #27124: First grid done on here, very good to start off on, thanks fake alias (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27120: Crisp, clean, and fresh! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ayayayayay @ #27124: Top quality at long last (4 years, 6 months ago)

ayayayayay @ #27121: What shitshows happening here? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Africa @ #27122: IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT TO DRAG ME AWAY FROM YOUUUUU (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #12: Nice easy starter grid to find your way into this type of puzzle. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27112: It's not doing as badly as you thought so far, Keir. Maybe people appreciate the work and cleverness that went into it, even if it's really hard to solve in practice. I'd stick with this format- utter genius- and adjust the level- the numbers were a nice clue definitely keep that- if you don't mind advice from someone who frequently makes the same concept/ execution balance mistake! (Big old hypocrite!) ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Luna @ #4165: Lol all the American viewers just don’t get the crystal maze xD it’s an old British tv show (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #3: Tricky in places. Couldn't get one connection at all - was very cold! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27055: Really easy mistake Primrose, I've done it a few times! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Luna @ #12552: Bowiewhist, they aren’t homophones which is why you didn’t get the point. They don’t sound the same as other words, they sound the same as names. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27122: I love your style ,Toto. A nicely complete grid, good variety and word choices, and entertaining (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27120: Thanks Jahn- I knew it as a martial arts move but apparently it also means something to those up on modern pop culture, which I'm not! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27108: yeah- I do agree with you Mr Tom. It's less satisfying and doesn't feel earned. thanks for your honesty- this is not a legitimate attempt at a good grid like I said so apologies for "experimenting" on you but I'm hoping it makes future attempt better- I'm interested mostly on how hard it is, what makes a group stand out to the hind-brain, as it were.Thanks for commenting all :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27121: loved the grid, right up my alley. (Both) fakers obviously feeling the isolation a bit! Why not put your energy to better use and CREATE something? Good grid, thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27055: Sorry about the lack of uniqueness. We live and learn! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27099: A tricky one needing a breadth of knowledge. Classic OC-style grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27104: Rather too dependent on obscure knowledge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27105: (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27121: Unsure as to why someone is using my alias in a homphobic manner (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27105: Good one. The bands did for me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27106: Is ‘dim’ a noun? Otherwise ok (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27120: Good one. Though I’d never heard of lotus (showing my age) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27121: And well said Mister Tom! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27121: Decent grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27111: A good one. How I wish setters would concentrate on crafty crossovers rather than esoteric knowledge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27121: Well done. Well crafted. Neon is not a metal although they are all elements (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27121: Btw, commenter: Lorna is erudite, witty and unfailingly polite. Full marks for trying to imitate that. 10/10.for getting the name right. Have a participation trophy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27112: So many inaccuracies. Eg pedantries is a noun whereas fusses over nothing calls for a verb. Why does ‘anagram’ keep appearing in your solutions. 3 minutes of my life I won’t get back (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27121: Seen the inlets one before :-) the "ing" makes one of the groups stand out a bit. Thanks for setting (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mum & JONATHAN @ #27121: Very good. The elements one was very hard. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lorna @ #27121: fake and gay (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27117: Beat me. But then I’m not well up on ducks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27108: Think I get what you mean about the shape or feel of clues. For me that never feels a nice way to identify a group: if you can spot the group but he e o idea whatsoever why it's a group, blech. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27114: A good start. Found it Quite easy, which is a nice relief :-) maybe I'm just incapable.of seeing the red herrings? Because of hawking and Gerrard, merchant and fry don't really hide. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27119: Links rather tenuous (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27108: I get what you mean about picking words based on grammar without really getting the concept, which I've done many times before! However, I couldn't do it with this one (my failure, I'm sure) because there was too much overlap. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27120: Good, fair grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27108: Honest feedback? I really, really hated it. No idea whatsoever where to even start: didnt make a single attempt at solving a four. I've just come away feeling thick. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: yeah, that's sensible and true Mister Tom. We can only do so much! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27111: I always put "syn" "word" "mean" and "like" for synonym group connections. Still doesn't cover everyone (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #27111: That wasn't so hard, was it? :-p (4 years, 6 months ago)

robbieC @ #27088: clever misdirection (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27101: fun groups! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: Well done Jahn! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: Yes its always hard to include enough terms- one tip- the word "synonym" covers a lot of bases- I will always list it for this type of clue even if they aren't technically as it just makes life easier all round. Precede, prefix, succeed, suffix, mean, term and anagram are all really useful keywords also. I hope this helps you with scoring points :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Juliet Harris @ #27111: A very nice one although I found “showy” was really hard to express! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: I realised later that I'd misspelled chicory- but as it works as a clue in your favour, I hope it doesn't spoil the grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27111: Lovely 10/10 on a Lorna grid - happy days (4 years, 6 months ago)

Juliet Harris @ #25174: Liked this one a lot - failed on Sky channels though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #22802: forensics? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27114: Very good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27099: Excellent grid. Managed to do it but more luck than judgment (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27119: Same as before with the addition of the extra clue- apologies for the repetition. Ta :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27118: this one submitted with a clue missing due to me using a symbol which the site didn't like- I've resubmitted, with apologies :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #204: 25 secs left, 100% and feel really satisfied. It was a good puzzle but can not be deemed hard. Enjoyed it and thanks for setting it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #27108: Tricky, ran out of time but got the gist. Good grid as usual. The Medium was a breeze. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #262: BMW not mercedes (4 years, 6 months ago)

UngaMonkeyP @ #27115: Brilliant grid. I mean, almost impossible, but brilliant (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27114: really impressive 1st attempt, looking forward to more of your efforts. thanks for joining in with a great grid! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

London Pat @ #27114: My first go - thank you for the comments! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27114: clever to hide a body part in a body part (sorry for how that sounds!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

quarantine @ #27114: Nice tricksy grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

per @ #27111: fun grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27108: Apologies in advance I know this is a nasty one! I'm anticipating a low rating; I'm testing a theory with this one about the way we solve grids in order to improve future grids, so would appreciate honest but constructive feedback, especially if you solved it- but I am expecting some to hate it! Bear with me, I'll do a medium to make up for it! :) xx (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: Amanda- not quite sure what you mean? Are you talking about the synonyms line? (4 years, 6 months ago)

JamieQ @ #27111: Not often I get 10 on one of yours. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Amanda @ #27106: The grid was ok but the finding words needs more flexibility- like darkness when dark is a clue and poor intelligence- it is hard to write the correct words (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27088: Just missed the games one... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27112: If anything, I don't think I'm stressing enough. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Amanda @ #27111: The word was easier describing it in an acceptable way for a computer- really impossible as wanted to use similar words (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #20731: Doctor didn't work for me either. Saying that I didn't do well anyway.. Felt a bit of a tit! Get it? (4 years, 6 months ago)

baz @ #27103: I think g is worth 2 in scrabble. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27103: Jeez, a very different style. Very difficult to get into the zone for this in 3 minutes - but thanks for making me think! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27108: Clues were too samey for fun solving. (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27105: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: Alternatively- how much you dance, show off or eat eggs on farm visits? ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27112: I mean, wow! Beyond fiendish, but top top marks for effort and concept. I got a fair few clues I'm proud to say but my fogeyish grasp of pop culture let me down. I wish I'd spotted the anagram factor. You've worked so hard on this, it IS playable only by an absolute genius but I do really appreciate how clever this is. Genius anagrams, if almost impossible to reverse engineer. But well done, my lad! :) and nice to see you back. Hope you're not stressing re exams and school stuff :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27111: An easier grid, and I only got 3 points. I think it's a testament to how good I am at the grids. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #27112: I won't be surprised if this one gets low ratings, honestly. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27110: Some great ideas, especially the numbers. Had to google box- so cute! Looks like a cartoon fish :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27108: Thanks. I was thinking of the grids I've solved despite not knowing the subject matter, based on the feel and flavour of words- and ones where I've been tripped up a bit by inconsistent grammar. I nearly only put 2 tense groups, using the "both" verbs as red herrings, but that would have been beyond fiendish, I thought. Thanks so much, as always, for your feedback :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27111: Easier one as promised! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27096: A good mixture of clues (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27101: (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27109: I love my birds! Good wordplay, well mixed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #9801: Got a bit fixatated on the NATO thing, then tube stations (!?) for a while... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #27108: We managed the first three but stumbled on the iron group. Liked the idea of using tense but it was a little repetitive. Kudos for trying something different though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27106: Oh, I get it now! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27105: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27108: Apologies in advance I know this is a nasty one! I'm anticipating a low rating; I'm testing a theory with this one about the way we solve grids in order to improve future grids, so would appreciate honest but constructive feedback, especially if you solved it- but I am expecting some to hate it! Bear with me, I'll do a medium to make up for it! :) xx (4 years, 6 months ago)

skn @ #27093: Too hard for me but thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27067: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #14499: A classic OC wall from an early round. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #19892: Hooray! My first 10/10! But it was quite easy 😋 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27104: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27104: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Izzy @ #27106: Argh, that was my very first Puzzgrid! Wish me luck with the others now... (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27105: Really good, so many crossovers, you got me. Good initial ideas and well executed. Stars galore for you! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27076: Guy group is my favorite. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Spaceman @ #27105: Superb (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terrence @ #27106: Gotta Catch 'em all! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27099: Quite a quiz! I failed miserably :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27084: I was confused too so I googled it: it may be a ref to the sentence in this vid maybe? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWbzjGIec20 Really not sure, but vid is interesting anyway! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27103: Conceptually brilliant but way too hard for me, felt it involved a lot of guess work. Really great idea though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

rep @ #27084: Confused by Buffalo Buffalo, can anyone explain? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27096: nice variety and crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bertie B @ #27075: Enjoyed this.. good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #27074: Really enjoyable grid 👍🏻 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hak @ #27065: The spelling error that held us up was "sandle". Still enjoyable though (4 years, 6 months ago)

Christian @ #27054: Got a 7 , yippee (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27091: Thanks FellFrom. Completed with a few seconds left which is always a nice thing. Not 100% convinced about Cole in that group but we all stretch it now and then. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keith @ #26910: Firstly, Francophone means French-speaking, but you did not allow this. Secondly, technically-speaking, Holland is only a region of The Netherlands. Thirdly, the Union Flag hardly features “stripes” as such. Fourthly, that group are also all European nations. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27088: I like this grid - mainly because it’s the type I often set out to do but then fail. I think the Easy ones that still have red herrings are the trickiest to put together. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27081: It’s a nice grid that works with the cross-overs and I think it’s a unique solution. My (constructive) criticism, which may reflect Qwiji’s, is that the groups are very similar and personally I think the 5* grids are the ones that have very mixed connections. So a 4 from me :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27087: Completely defeated me but I realised I should have got all the groups once they were revealed! Well played! (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #27081: Yes, good grid. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27086: Lovely grid! Thanks :) 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27075: Smart! Enjoyed that :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

x @ #27068: Lemon should have two m's (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #27069: Really neat grid! Nicely put together with manageable red herrings. Thanks 5*! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27081: Couldn't agree more with Keith/ Widger- to be fair to Qwijibo, if there are too many groups with endless cycling and no logic to it, yes it can be annoying, granted- HOWEVER the skill shown in this grid in particular is to create a lot of crossovers which can logically be worked out with a bit of thought rather than dumb luck. This grid was a great example of that, the crossovers were well worked in and it was fair and solvable. Anything over a medium will, and should, have plenty of ambiguity! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keith @ #27081: The whole point is to have ambiguity! Nice grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27087: really good! Simple and tricky at the same time. top grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27085: some nice crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27079: really good, really tricky- the vowels one was genius- don't hear the word milt very often but it works so fair play! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27075: well executed (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27074: wonderful format, I'm enjoying these. Must be fun to set?! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27071: agreed, easy but it was still fun and a lovely concept. points for originality! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Widger @ #27081: Good grid.overlaps are part of the game. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mink @ #27075: That was fun! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27086: 100% well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Qwijibo @ #27081: Too much overlap between categories - the ambiguity is annoying and not clever. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27062: It’s a joke with Lorna, Chris. But they’re not completely unassociated (4 years, 6 months ago)

Toto @ #27075: Need to code Colossus group with and without hyphen (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27086: fun grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #10337: For badminton read tennis also. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew @ #5633: Clever good fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew @ #21012: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew @ #566: Awesome grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #27054: Lydia, I would like to be associated with the comments of the previous members. Towie....... Seriously. 7/10. Still waiting for my first 10. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #27084: Never heard Buffalo doubled. Love the Croissant is group! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27064: fun overlaps! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27063: Hard for me! I got the concept but still struggled. Puzzgrid perfect for self-isolation! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27055: I loved this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #27067: I could see all the groups, but there were so many red herrings, i did not get single group in time. Well done! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27046: Great overlaps and fun grid. P.S. Dodger: I think the Apostle group is correct? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #27070: Please clarify in your explanations what the answers actually are. For example BGT =? etc. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #27071: I like themed walls, but this was a little too easy. 10 with virtually two minutes left. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27039: haha the layer overlap! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27075: Nice grid - thought the Colossus group were roller coasters !?! They ought to be ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27067: good overlaps! (4 years, 6 months ago)

PobbleBonk @ #27065: Frustrated by the misspelling of Plimsoll, which does not allow it to be part of the shoe / footwear group. Yes, try harder. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27071: nice! (4 years, 6 months ago)

defaultdike @ #27073: Ok primrose u slag (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #16295: 4/10, but I think a good grid - got 3 connections inc Dove. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Michael @ #27068: I thought we did pretty well to be honest. That is quite hard though (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27074: A little bit harder than the last one? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27073: Far too obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #16277: Nice grid - wish I could spell Caribbean. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #27065: 'two' similar ? - must try harder (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #26904: far too hard for me. ingenious but required specialist irish knowledge! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #16265: Thought it was a good enjoyable grid ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #27072: A hard one! Why is it rated poor by the system? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #21539: Too easy but nice categories. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #27058: Not medium difficulty by any means. All questions the same type ie all items followed by X. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pedant @ #27065: Sandle is mispelled. So is Plimsoll (line). And two groups are two similar to each other. Must try harder! (4 years, 6 months ago)

someone @ #2184: ah yes, family guy's pet dog, brain. not to be confused with pinky and the brian. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #16271: Likewise, Only Me ! Can’t blame the compiler for us being old fogeys... but I did get the energy drinks. I think they all sponsor motorcycle racing ? ; ) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mahatmah @ #27068: Nice one, little bit tricky (4 years, 6 months ago)

Top Quizzer @ #8793: Why do you force me to write a sentence for alcoholic beverages... my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27065: The typo really didn't interfere for me as it's such a common misspelling that I just assumed it was sandal- it was still a terrific grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27066: very clever! You got me as I dismissed lid- I was looking for parts of the face as I thought I'd seen ear! Very well bluffed, very well played. Good skills! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #27065: I'm using a different keyboard with a lively touch-pad - I didn't notice the Bear sneak into my name. It also made me spell 'sandal' badly !!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #8441: Only 4 out of ten as I couldn't solve it at all until they were put in place and then I got all reasons - but amazed at getting the english group right as I just took a punt. No idea why the Boys group is as it is (I only got that right because of a word from the grid!). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #10711: Can't believe what a numpty I was over reasons for two groups - I even sussed the alphabet homophone but still failed to get light and dead groups reasons. Doh! Great grid. Take a bow. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #4155: Cracking fun (probably because I solved it 100% with 1.25 left to go) - some great concepts and all fell into place and accepted all my answers. Well done to the compiler for providing the pleasure. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #7062: 100% with over a minute to go. Great grid but more medium than hard. Process of elimination with some cracking cross overs - very much the spirit of Only Connect. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27031: yes Q- I was anticipating complaints as they are technically part of the link. You still need to know why they're linked to get the groups, but I'm not fussy about wording to be honest, points galore if you can spot what's going on! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #3712: Grr. Got all the answers right but only one I managed to list in a way that was wanted. Otherwise a pretty fun and decent grid. I liked the flux group particularly and was delighted to spot that set second. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27065: Really brilliant! So many crossovers, a false group- I spent ages looking for parts of the foot! Very skilled job, very enjoyable, thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #186: Got the groups but didn't get the reason for one. Good fun but more of a medium in my view. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #27054: Never seen Towie so didn’t stand a chance (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27065: Sandle? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #27064: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mo @ #27064: Like it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bipin @ #27064: Nice work. Liked the hitchhikers group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27063: If anyone is self- isolating over the next few weeks or is otherwise bored/ anxious/ in need of a giggle, please message me on one of my grids and I'll say a quick hello. Expect plenty of grids in the meantime! Love from Lorna :) x Now go and wash your hands! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27058: awwwwwwww! Well earned, I assure you. hope you're holding up and staying well :) x (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27062: Ha Ha :0) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27046: Enjoyed this grid until disciples was incorrect ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bipin @ #27058: Thanks guys that’s really cheered me up seeing your lovely comments (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #27062: Can't see that having one line of unassociated words is sensible (4 years, 6 months ago)

Victoria @ #26911: Jersey is not part of New York. It's a different state. Agree with Jayme, the errors make this unplayable. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ange1ina @ #27054: Nice wall! I'm not a big Towie fan, but from what was left after solving the other groups, two of the names sounded vaguely familiar. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27060: Cor! (4 years, 6 months ago)

nickelhatton @ #27014: rice and boroughs made me giggle :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

nickelhatton @ #27014: Should accept 'dr' and 'homes' (4 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #27059: Nice. Spent a while trying to shoehorn Orville, Monkey & Spit together, but got there. (4 years, 6 months ago)

nickelhatton @ #27056: You should accept 'fry up' for cooked breakfast group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #27054: No idea about towie (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon C @ #27054: Great! I was really being dense work out the connection of the sling group, especially as I'd already thought of the connection when looking at sling on its own. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27058: Agree with the others. Great grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hubby @ #27058: Simple yet fun! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ellece @ #27058: you had me at root words (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ellece @ #27057: HAhaha I like this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27039: Great work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27042: Great grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27042: nice, Goneril! (nice?) Bin Dipper yes still unique as you'd also have needed the La anyway. It's a great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #27058: Really lovely wall. Not too hard, well put together and with something of an overarching theme. Good work. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27055: Ohh that's a different one. You can swap little and boy too. (4 years, 6 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22603: @Tim Thanks for the feedback. "Leech" is a common, if old-fashioned, term for a doctor derived from them using leeches for blood-letting. The two "seven" groups are quite distinct and were intended to frustrate people who were unable to spot the difference. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27055: alas not you can swap little and sheep but a really nice idea (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #27051: Very difficult for me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mo @ #27055: Brilliant! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Miblo @ #27054: Super difficult! I pretty much guessed the "home" one. What the heck is "home body"?! The reason I marked it down to 3/5 Quality was just that it seemed to depend entirely on obscure (to me!) knowledge. Could've been cool to throw in an observation one, that we can figure out from the clues, e.g. those "all contain an everyday thing" ones. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #27054: Nice, glad I didn’t know Towie (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27040: Solved but my knowledge of the kicker group let me down so not a 10 pointer. Nice work, 8T, if you don't mind me calling you that. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27042: So...normal morning. Unfortunate thing about this grid - some of the red herrings are hard to spot. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #186: good wall, but curiously 'moon' also fits paper/wheel/fishing/half clue though more obscurely. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #9875: not too difficult, but nice wall - I liked the washing machine clue. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Brian @ #26827: Lots of blue herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27039: Not stupid Bindipper, it is quite early in the morning and you have had a lot of whiskey and biscuits! Go easy on yourself! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27042: Right- so the hidden message is... its ok for me to have biscuits and whiskey at this time in the morning if I've got a syndrome, or if I'm French? Right you are, got it, Tourettes it is then (cover my bases) Cheers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27041: very cleverly constructed (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #27039: Nicely done. Solved the wall but missed the Peeweep connection which was stupid of me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27039: ah- I thought you deserved an easier one ;)' glad you were successful (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27033: ditto- top work but that confused me (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27007: David- if you read this- thanks for the feedback! If you put a suggestion/ request for some some subjects that are within your purview I WILL try to construct a little prezzie grid! Sorry it's been frustrating, thanks for graciously sticking with me all the best :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #27002: Straightforward but enjoyable ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26951: I love all your comments - but I can't see any way to do any tweaking. I like the site but it could do with a few extra items of functionality - being able to search on a setter's name/ amending grids you submit/retaining a search rather than beginning at the start each time. For instances! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26964: Enjoyable & clever - tough groups, slightly easier connections ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #12552: I put homophones but not ok. However I didn't find any of the groups before but then got them right (in my view) once they were lined up. Awarded nice stars for the concept but not the execution! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Trev @ #27002: Be nice if synonyms was correct ford the terms of endearment (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #4165: Didn't get the one reason for the remaining group - but a perfectly valid result. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27028: also found one that said they recorded Memphis, Tenessee five times (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #27026: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27028: This was from another source (wiki): The Beatles recorded "Glad All Over" on two occasions in 1963 for BBC radio sessions, with George Harrison on lead vocals. The first of these, recorded on July 16, 1963, was released in 1994 on Live at the BBC.[5] On November 11, 2013, a second version recorded by The Beatles for the BBC Saturday Club radio program on July 30, 1963 appeared on the On Air – Live at the BBC Volume 2 collection.[6] (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #27028: I used a list from a website at https://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/ I'm not an aficionado- I can only trust the facts on the internet, such as they are. You may be right, the site may be wrong? The criteria for the groups were as listed- the Beatles related element said "recorded by" rather than "written by, Beatles songs or original" etc. These Criteria were a limitation on me more than on the player- they fit the set criteria of all being from the list- you didn't really need to put the Beatles bit to get a point, it just makes the grid more interesting (at least to me, certainly setting it) to have one great, whole grid false group. I only included it in the answer/ scoring out of fairness and so people don't get frustrated. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew @ #27028: Glad All Over was never recorded by the Beatles. Memphis, Tennessee was part of the Beatles stage act, but the only recordings are from radio broadcasts so its a bit of a stretch to call it a Beatles song. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ray Kemp @ #6833: Not difficult at all. Links not always flexible enough e.g. Isaid relatives rather than family members & it wasn't accepted. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Terry are you for real? @ #26997: Kim Jong-un rules a dictatorship where elections are not free and fair, government critics are persecuted, media is controlled by the regime, internet access is limited by the regime, and there is no freedom of religion. His regime operates an extensive network of prisons and labour camps; the regime convicts people for political crimes and uses collective punishment whereby members of a family get punished for the crimes of one person. According to the United Nations, North Koreans live under "systematic, widespread and gross human rights violations" where the regime "seeks to dominate every aspect of its citizens’ lives and terrorizes them from within." The regime exerts extensive control over the North Korean economy, with substantial state-controlled economic enterprises and significant restrictions on North Koreans' ability to engage in foreign economic activity.

Dysgwr @ #26995: I got them all and I'm a bit embarrassed about it. My answer was that they all started with an elemental symbol. It was almost a throwaway guess because that's a really broad category. So, not really sure I deserved that point! Really great wall though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26975: I'd have said three easy, one so hard I couldn't see it even once they were grouped and looked like anagrams. Unscrambling 'conurbation' only just this side of splitting the atom. (Say that three times fast). (4 years, 6 months ago)

kyliewylie @ #26974: That one was a little more stretched I'll admit (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26976: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26974: I loved the Holy Hand Grenade. Not so sure about rhinestones though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26982: Sorry, way too hard for me. Also, hate to point it out, but not a unique solution (Durham Town by Roger Whittaker, Not in Nottingham by Roger Miller or the Coventry Carol). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26935: Well said Lorna, Jayme and Dodger. Creating grids is enormous fun, but a real challenge. We all get better as we go. I firmly believe comments should only be supportive and/or constructive. What’s the point of saying anything else? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26982: Be interested to hear from others but I'm afraid I found this far too hard - not sure how someone could solve it from a standing start. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #26970: Good grief (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #8191: Excellent grid that really stretched the memory (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26971: ah yes! good spot- I didn't notice because you don't hear brae much where I'm from- I suppose it's more common in Scotland? (4 years, 6 months ago)

galdone @ #26971: cap, mac etc also work with adding an 'e' for a new word! (4 years, 6 months ago)

kyliewylie @ #26974: Nick - It is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and has since appeared in other things, such as the video game series 'Worms' (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26964: Accessible but still demanding (4 years, 6 months ago)

nick w @ #26974: holy hand grenade ???? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26936: Try to be satisfied with knowing that you did a good job- you're not crowd pleasing, you're coming up with quality grids which are unique to you. I stopped sorting by the "best grids" button shortly after first joining the site 'cos it was all just the easy ones and I soon got bored. I really loved the style of this grid, some of your best work :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26935: Well said Dodger, thank you. No harm in constructive feedback, but keep it kind. I agree that it would be preferable to have a linking meaning to the homophones group, but you're by no means the first to have a group that are linked by being all one type of word- palindromes, semordnilaps, anagrams of each other- if this is your first or nearly first go I'd say it's a good effort and you can only get better with practice- keep it up and don't be put off by trolls :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26970: good overlap! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26951: more associated with snow leopard now, I think (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26951: used for jaguar, European Lynx and snow leopard as an alternative name, but definitely in there with the big cats! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26975: two easy groups, two hard groups :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26971: amazing! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26971: Terrifically clever! The use of capitals was a clue about the nature of some of the links. Well played Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26957: I know Coachella is a music festival in the US, can't help with Stripper. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26974: I liked the shark group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26973: good quiz (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26951: Think an ounce is a jaguar-like cat. You don't want an ounce to pounce! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26949: Woden and Odin are different incarnations of the same god - Woden being the German version, I think. Was hoping against hope that one of the groups would be 'Songs Elton John has played on the piano' but couldn't get beyond Sacrifice and Chopsticks... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26948: Liked this! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26943: Why on earth, when I'm a Red Dwarf fan who's been watching them all through again recently, did I become convinced that it must be White Dwarf, as in the old Games Workshop magazine I haven't so much as seen for 20 years? Stupid brain! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26972: very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26953: Good, fun grid - only suggestion is that you might widen the criteria for correct answers on your next one? Eg I put 'Olympic cities' and 'wall' in, which would normally be enough to score. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26963: I didn't know the link for Venetian but the rest was deducible (4 years, 6 months ago)

chis @ #26972: Nice intelligent grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

chis @ #26973: Excellent grid. Well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bill V @ #26958: Surely for the 'Over' group you could also follow the words with 'Sight' (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sean Dahill @ #26145: types of candy where? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26946: Nice grid ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #26963: Hard and a bit specialist, but good (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #10577: agreed good but I got stuck with red herring delta (4 years, 6 months ago)

TheBoy @ #26932: Didn't like the word temperature (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #1462: really tough, but well compiled (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26935: Not too bad! Would never have got homophones if it hadn't been for giveaway on MCU answers though. And hear hear, Dodger! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26936: Thanks Lorna. I think you're right about the dodgy ratings on here. The fifth star may as well not be there. By the bottom of page 1 no-one scores 5/5. 27000 puzzles in and I'd be surprised if there's a 5 star on the site. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26965: enjoyable and more difficult (for me at least) than the "medium difficulty" stated (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26963: That's where I started but then it seemed to go down some very niche alleys (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26969: difficult but clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26971: bob- In a grid that relies on the symmetry of capital letters, it would have been mean to do it at a remove and not capitalise the clues! bit harsh, even for me! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26970: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26971: Very clever! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26965: bit of fun, that :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Troyster68 @ #26943: Nice fairly easy one (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26963: You're on a roll- another top quality grid. Moles was my "in" for this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26942: nice and difficult - BUT if you don't know heteronym you are marked wrong although I got it right (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26943: once I suspended disbelief tat all were colour related, it was easy and fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #26964: Excellent grid, really enjoyed :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26951: answered "members of the cat family but was marked wrong and put aftershave for the last and marked wrong again, think it needs tweeking (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26964: Particularly enjoyed the wheat group (4 years, 6 months ago)

TheDoc @ #26971: Ooft, I missed the MOT group, but should have thought about it more. The SOS group, I got but needed to be more specific with my description (only used the one word). Nice wall! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #26970: Good red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #26971: why are they all capitalised (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #26971: Knew what the links were going to be but couldn't find the groups - good grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26965: Sorry folks - should have thought of wider terms for that group. Hope you still enjoyed it. As they say, award yourself the points anyway! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26946: good crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26943: nice, easy, straightforward and fun. I love themed grids, too! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26942: I agree, exceptional, very professional (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26934: Liked it too... But didn't get the cbbc group - thought they were exotic currencies ?!? .... And beans were the Red herring ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #26956: It’s been a while since I’ve been on here, but I don’t mind the spoiler. I’ll still enjoy them just the same. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26949: Good grid, except it did allow me Norse Gods ! Thought Woden was the origin of Wednesday. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26936: Dare I say this- I think some people confuse the quality and difficulty ratings- if its too hard for them they score it lower. YOU must know it is quality- I certainly do. 5* from me ,most definitely, and well earned (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26945: Toughie - got 2 groups & 2 connections. Sky walker group definitely fiendish ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mad dog barking @ #26951: At least two of the 70's and 80's aftershaves are still available today, aftershave would've been a better answer. (4 years, 6 months ago)

paul @ #26953: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26943: Good grid ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26951: Nice easy grid... Didn't accept 'mens toiletry brands', but OK otherwise. (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #26891: therefore the ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26935: Not as poor as made out ! Agree that homophones should also have a common element, but shame on those making ridiculous abusive comments - keep your criticism constructive ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #26897: not dubious at all (4 years, 6 months ago)

spenlow @ #26935: Very poor - homophones category invalidates the whole thing (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26956: Thanks all- Keir if you like this my last 2 were in a similar vein- sorry for the spoiler! (4 years, 6 months ago)

spenlow @ #26951: wouldn't accept aftershave (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26965: green group wouldnt accept "backing group"!!!!??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #12552: ok if you're up on comic books. (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #8355: Very good - love the 'pan' one. Not too obscure, but makes you think laterally. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Boomkitty @ #9430: Make it harder (4 years, 6 months ago)

me @ #1396: goodish wall though 'full' is obviously unique to US (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #14124: finally a grid that doesn't need me to know the names of the first cavemen or the other passengers on Rosa Parks bus or something (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26958: nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #14188: MSL??? even google struggled to tell me what MSL was (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26965: Interesting groups - but answers needed to be wider (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26965: thanks! cool groups (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #26957: stripperella, coachella ???? (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26956: Very clever! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26963: Who will be the first to say, "Bit obscure"? :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

PollyJB @ #26915: Loved it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26958: Fiendish and good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26943: Very good indeed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26951: Good effort. I suggest opening up the answer terms next time (check the guidance). Didn’t accept obvious correct answers which will peeve some on here. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Keir H @ #26956: So, you made this grid as one giant red herring, and managed to get four groups that have nothing to do with the actual link? Now that is impressive. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26959: Brilliant grid! Very clever crossovers. Luckily I spotted Greaves which gave me a way in. (4 years, 6 months ago)

anon @ #26951: ounce? (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26936: Cheers all. It's one of my favourites but tastes vary - it's getting a pretty low rating :-)) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26956: fun + hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26924: Secret Santa is when a group of people (typically office colleagues) each anonymously buy one other person an inexpensive gift by picking a name out of a hat. So everyone gets a small gift and no one knows who from (in theory at least). Gifts are often humorous. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Potato @ #121: Types of energy should be acceptable for the power category (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bill V @ #26932: Enjoyed this a lot! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26952: I was sure Paris, London and Babylon were followed by ‘burning’, but couldn’t find another one (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26936: Oh, lovely word play! that is clever, right up my alley (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26946: Really good (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26933: really good with lots of red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #6833: See everyone else below re: relatives (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26956: Fiendishly clever! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26923: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #26144: All 4 marked incorrect but nothing wrong with my answers. Need to broaden what is acceptable st synonyms for the fix group and groups with the in front and car and the letters group could have had any number of correct solutions as pointed out below. (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Clown @ #26903: Other than the silly and very weak Sally-Anne link a good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

davey @ #26922: great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26923: I really loved this one bloss! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26922: fantastic (4 years, 6 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #26924: Secret Santa? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26928: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26941: It’s possible suffix isn’t exactly right - rather just the answer word follows the clue words (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26941: Tom, if it helps it looks like the kick group have the answer word as a suffix. All four are well known phrases (at least to me). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26941: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26942: Now that was a very, very good grid. Well played! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #26949: Am I missing something or did Saturn cross over to norse mythology (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26943: Good basic one. Embarrassingly it fooled me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26951: Thanks for playing my grid - just tried it out! How satisfying. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26945: Fiendish more like! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26457: Dire - doesn't accept tree, spiders are not insects and the spelling of syrups...don't get me started. Oh dear. Try again but be more careful. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon W @ #26922: I feel like I should've got this quicker but kept hitting a dead end... Nicely done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #64: No idea on animal breeds so stumped on that set. George Fox will need to be googled! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #60: got ducks but not fictional - well it stands to reason they are! Bit peeved it didn't accept Corrie... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #51: Easy peasy and in wrong category but very well contrived. Full marks and 1.47 left to go. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #8355: Hmm - thwarted so only got 6 out of 10 - had no idea about Beatles group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #6833: I thought i was right with relatives and naming them but seemingly not. Only allocated 4 points. Why does this site not flag anything to the poster and get changes generated??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #2748: Fabulous. Solved it with full marks and 32 secs to play with but it was challenging and fun. This is a good example of an excellent grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #26943: Enjoyable but very easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #26941: Is that the right explanation for the Kick group? I don't see how the answer word could precede (or follow) Kick or Elbow. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marco @ #26945: Very hard. But interesting connections (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #26945: I found it hard as well. I didn't form any groups (which is rare for me) and found only one connection after they resolved into groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marco @ #26935: Liked it. The homophones category was quite hard. But still liked it ;). (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26943: Well thought out grid. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26922: Very good! I suspect I got lucky and there were some clever crossovers which I missed. Enjoyed that :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26941: Nice crossovers:) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26943: Interesting “concept” grid. Thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

If I comment your grid is trash @ #26935: Don't write (red herring for this category) in the answers because: 1. We aren't stupid 2. You give away answers for other categories Also the homophone category is complete shit (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26945: Good grid, but can't see how it could be classed as easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #25925: It`s Dual Dizzy!!(in this case!!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #25929: And I got `correct` even though my answer was wrong! Makes a change :-D (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jess @ #26922: Loved this (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #25930: Yeah me too Omegaman! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #26915: Novel idea. Took me a while to see the trick :-D Fancy NOT getting `ball`-silly me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #26939: you should have put more linking words in for connections, Its difficult to cover all bases I know, I have even completed one of my own walls and not been awarded correct connection but this wall is an extreme example, I got each group connection but none were awarded as correct eg - 'pasta' was not valid, nor was 'computer manufacturers' or 'tree'. Also, those words can precede brush not be preceded by... sorry its pronounced pedarntic I know! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #26916: Easy but fun. 10/10 for me and maker. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #26924: Beyond me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #26931: Nice wall, its the third one I've seen which has lyrics from Bohemian Rhapsody as a group though (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #26919: 10/10 I`m happy! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Krista @ #26928: SO MANY that (I though) belonged in several groups I could not sort them in time! Avian verbs(posh way to say things birds do). Posh words not accepted :-D. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #26933: Great fun - so many red herrings :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark W @ #26941: A nice few overlaps . Well constructed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Partyman @ #26935: It's meant to be easy (facepalm) stop crying (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26936: Top gridding (4 years, 6 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #26933: Great grid. Fun and enough of a challenge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anon @ #26935: Things just being homophones isn't really a good group. They really need to be homophones of a specific thing. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #26935: Poor (4 years, 6 months ago)

who knows @ #26935: shite (4 years, 6 months ago)

Hoy @ #26875: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26928: Aircraft not accepted. Otherwise really good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26936: Nice mixture (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #26939: Ok grid. but you could have used clothes or nail instead of sweeping? (4 years, 6 months ago)

עהאדגחעביגבגע @ #26864: דכע ננרכרדהעמכבזגעכג (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #26915: A real treat of a grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

wawacita @ #26928: Found this one easy! Nice to score 10 for a change (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #26915: Nice, liked that one a lot (4 years, 6 months ago)

wIZ @ #26934: Just right for your intended group and even for oldies like me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

AKAANSH AGIIIIIT @ #6833: Thats quite beta (4 years, 6 months ago)

Est @ #26934: I liked it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26919: Good grid, though ‘off’ also works for ‘up’ group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26915: Thanks for all your encouraging comments - if you liked this you may like 25872 which is a similar grid I posted some time ago. (4 years, 6 months ago)

AKAANSH AGIIIIIT @ #583: Thats quite akaansh (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26928: As Adrian said - nice balance - a challenge, but fathomable ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26913: Nice grid - Russians were the key to the puzzle for me ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Partyman @ #26935: Forgot to mention in the answers, sun is also a red herring (won't give away which category in case someone reading this hasn't done it yet but should be obvious ;)) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dysgwr @ #26934: Sorry to hear that, Mom. It was written for a younger target audience so it's intentionally a little easier. I always try to provide a wide range of answer criteria but for one group in particular I anticipated but couldn't really avoid difficulties. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mom @ #26934: Not happy. Too easy to get all the links and your answer criteria was too specific (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26912: you need more than that on this one, Mr Tom! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26928: (4 years, 6 months ago)

DRC9 @ #9384: Excellent had 2 goes still only got one connection (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian. @ #15674: 10 and managed to avoid your crossovers first time. Well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gezza @ #10172: My first attempt at one of these. Eased me in gently. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26915: nice work! (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #26912: Very creative,inspired! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26916: fun grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26917: nice one! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian. @ #26916: Nice red herrings, the sign of a good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian. @ #26928: Got 10 but it was a challenge. Nice red herrings. Kept me on my toes. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #26923: Good grid... well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #26933: I like this one. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26912: Didn't accept "man" as a link (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26933: fun! But hard, because there were lots of ghost solutions to reject. (4 years, 6 months ago)

PiGuyN @ #26933: I tried thoroughly to make sure there were no extraneous solutions to this one, but if someone finds one, let me know! Also, the verification of the groups was near impossible to make fair, since the keyword is just one letter, so employ the honor system there :P (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26912: fun concept and groups very tricky - got the sport one with 2 seconds to go! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26912: "one" 2ce was a deliberate red herring as people stop looking once they think they've found it; woods was a reference to bowls not golf (although it could be either); already explained the directional prepositions; food and drink- too broad? I've seen worse- but I do take your point, it would have been easier to just make a straightforward set of 4 groups with no double layer- but where's the fun in that? ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26915: Chapeau! One of my favourite grids. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26914: In a different gear to most grids on here but I quite liked it nonetheless! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26740: Fiendish indeed ! 'Violent actions' covers two groups & nine bands ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26912: Incredibly ambitious but, for me Clive, I think the compromises made in order to maintain the wider conceit diminished the effectiveness of the individual groups. For example, having the same number twice in the numbers group; having all but one of the sporting equipment being golf terms; and the inconsistency in the nature of the terms (or maybe the necessarily broad spectrum of them, not quite sure how to phrase it) in the other two groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

RobbieC @ #26895: Greek names very clever not an obvious link. (4 years, 6 months ago)

RobbieC @ #26900: good Grid not too obscure. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26741: Engaging but tough - Donkey & Camel new to me ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26911: Typos made this harder than it should have been, for me anyway. Craps, Manhattan, McDonald's - in a game like this, if it's spelt incorrectly I tend to assume there's a reason why! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26917: really liked the logos group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26917: Pan- god of lift music (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26910: Technically does UK flag have any blue stripes? Just a blue background for red and white stripes (or crosses). Didn't get link for that group but enjoyed grid anyway! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26909: Great grid - not too tough but fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #26915: Clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26904: Why is it that when I'm sure I've methodically tried all the combinations (this time of counties) there is one that eludes me? Grrr! Good grid though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26912: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26916: Fairly easy but fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon W @ #26908: Very enjoyable, just could not get the connection in one of the groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26915: Superb (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26903: Enjoyable grid - I wonder if 'half' is so ubiquitous that it doesn't properly work as a link though (I got it by default at the end). After all, you can pretty much say half-anything and it wouldn't seem unusual, moreso than even 'full'. (4 years, 6 months ago)

incognito @ #26917: Good grid, enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon W @ #26912: Man that was tricky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26915: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26900: This was certainly acceptable in the Aetees! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave H @ #26913: Some easier than others (4 years, 6 months ago)

Helly @ #26916: Very challenging, thrilling!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Helly @ #26912: No worries, Lorna! Great minds think alike and all that... yours is really good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26912: Oh superb! Multilayered, very cleverly crafted. 5*+ (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sr @ #26804: Easier than usual (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26915: Great fun - well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26903: terrific grid- my era for music- liked the addition of forth in that group, good idea, nice bit of lateral thinking! Easy to miss an accepted term sometimes. good work again (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark W @ #26913: Lovely use of the Old Testament books (4 years, 6 months ago)

Zander @ #26915: excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26915: loved it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26912: The full accepted terms included "directional prepositions" which definitely includes "in"- I don't write the entire list of accepted terms in the box you see, just a simplified version. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26903: Would not accept Roy Sally line rather weak (4 years, 6 months ago)

kpnuts @ #26911: Liked the grid. Didn't know you play crabs at a casino, lol. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26338: nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26912: In is not a direction (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26897: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26903: green group "Roy" should be accepted (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26913: I really liked your use of Mark and Nick. More ideas like that! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26908: Apologies that I've used a same clue as you- we were writing at about the same time. Sorry! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26912: apologies to helly- I wrote this, then I went to play the next grid- and we've both used the same clue for one! this wasn't intentional, sorry :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

AMAZING @ #26911: Whoever made this grid is extremely intelligent, and must also be very handsome. The red herrings in this grid were sublime. I'm very impressed. Amazing job. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26905: oh well done cb! I'm always really happy if people get it. thanks for letting me know :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #26905: So proud, I cracked a Lorna fiendish.. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Impressed @ #26858: Really liked your grid. Fun Fun Fun. Not that hard but put a smile to my face. Especially the calculating and the apple emoji. (4 years, 6 months ago)

drunkentypist @ #26905: Outstanding (4 years, 6 months ago)

Juan @ #10577: Good starting point (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26905: Fiendishly clever! Great work :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26903: Nice. I think the -Anne clue was stretching it a bit but good crossovers :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26900: Excellent! I got 10/10 but only by getting the starbug group from that clue alone. Very well constructed (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26897: Very neat, enjoyed that thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26873: @Lorna: iconic and disturbing in equal measures! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26886: Yes good grid, but not easy even for a MASH fan - scored 6. (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26903: Yes, I put Roy and was surprised it was not accepted. Otherwise a good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Good King Hal @ #26903: The Roy's got me as well. Apology accepted. What was the fourth group? Army etc? Couldn't get that. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26904: Go easy on the Guinness or you may be joining her on da flure ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26876: Groups similar but slightly different worked well - enjoyed this ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26891: Paddy’s Day parades cancelled - try O’Dodger’s Irish grid !! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26905: "super" was originally going to be a false group- but as it is an actual link, I thought that would be mean, so I'm awarding points if you include it in your answer, but its not a requisite -so please don't complain that the answers are all the same because they're not! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26896: Good grid - I too fell at the Spinal hurdle ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26904: loved it, it couldn't be more Irish- I now have a craving to watch Mrs. Doyle falling off a chair :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26846: I'm not fussy, bloss- take all the points you like! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26897: Nice grid - accessible ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bill V @ #26889: Excellent grid! Had me stumped (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26900: Tough enough - sci-fi defeated me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26903: Nice grid, but oops didn’t accept Roy ! Apology accepted ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26904: Given the prospect of postponed Paddy’s day celebrations this year, pour a Guinness or a Bush and have a go at this grid. Slainte ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26845: Quite a tough one, but well put together (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26903: Really good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26900: Great grid. Lots of political red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

Leedle @ #26858: Should get rid of the Apple picture by the word Apple, there’s meant to be red herrings. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26900: I'd have struggled had I not been shown my first ep of Orville last night ! Great (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26878: Enjoyed this grid ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26880: Sorry did not like it - too many other similarities between group elements. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26897: Nice original groups with great crossovers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ExpatAde @ #26903: To those who answered Roy I Apologise. I should have included Roy as well as Roy's. Lesson learnt on name connections. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26900: Perfect balance of tricky-but-feasible. Thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

ExpatAde @ #26901: To those who answered Roy I Apologise. I should have included Roy as well as Roy's. Lesson learnt on name connections. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kangaroodee @ #26900: Nice grid, some great red herrings (4 years, 6 months ago)

Concerned User @ #10908: good on the whole, dont like the clue with round in, there is nothing that links the words created. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #26886: You're pretty screwed if you've never watched M.A.S.H. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26897: Really nice grid. I thought the holiday one was fine: it’s the one I got first! (4 years, 6 months ago)

wiZ @ #13627: Oops .'good'! (4 years, 6 months ago)

wIZ @ #13627: I don't see that at all Nigel.quite clear to me goog grid! , (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26895: Knew what the links were but missed the obvious. Well done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26897: Nicely done with red herrings. The holiday link a bit dubious (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26896: good grid, never seen Spinal Tap so did not get that one ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26846: Fiendish and fun. I just worked out the alcohol - that counts, right? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26891: I like more crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26877: One to be proud of (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lydia @ #13627: Aldershot is not a cathedral town. I live there. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bobbity @ #26890: Not so keen on the bug group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26896: Fantastic. RIP Mick Shrimpton :( :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26890: "Pecker" group, even (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26895: Tough but fair. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26891: Good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26896: Excellent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26885: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26890: Why did I only think of Essex, damnit. Vv good grid - you could have had "worm" in the packed group though :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

JM @ #26889: It seems you replaced Moulin with Khmer (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #11453: It was fun to work this one out. Enjoyed it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fritzaps @ #26891: Good grid, however technically Armstrong has never won the TDF as he was stripped of his itles for doping. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26891: thank you for the list of Mortimer projects- some of which I haven't seen and will look out for! (4 years, 6 months ago)

jammydodger @ #26878: A fun grid, thanks. Regarding Jahn's comment, I think factual corrections are fine. Even if it hasn't affected enjoyment of the grid, I would rather know the facts. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26877: excellent construction, you really did a thorough job on this (4 years, 6 months ago)

SOFTWAREDEVELOPMENTINTERN @ #26784: i'm calling 911 (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26875: good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #16740: Ok but a swanling... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #16771: It should be fiendish and the answers are too obscure. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26884: This should be classified as fiendish. I got 0 groups and 0 connections (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26884: This should be classified as fiendish. I got 0 groups and 0 connections (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26884: This should be classified as fiendish. I got 0 groups and 0 connections (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #26884: This should be classified as fiendish. I got 0 groups and 0 connections (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26873: It was a fun grid so I'll forgive you for putting Jimmy Krankie in my head. ugh-gh-gh! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26870: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26865: sorry - keir! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26865: hi Kier good to see you back (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26862: I'm very happy that there are real dragons in the world :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #14251: Brilliant with so many red herrings. Well done. Got 10. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dave @ #583: Nicely constructed (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26861: Rose and poppy could go in either group, so this is not a unique solution. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26886: Having at least seven names from mash, but not one group is either genius or diabolical. Possibly both. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon wilkin @ #26767: Good wall, it the definition of one of the categories is a bit too narrow. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26890: Completely threw me but in a good way, not a frustrating way. Was convinced 'Fair...' and '...up' were going to be two of the links! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26889: Lovely stuff! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Rachel @ #26891: Top quality quizzing (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joe Swash @ #26891: JOE SWASH!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

krinkel @ #22028: das ist ein Supergrid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26875: Fairly easy but good fun with a few crossovers thrown in (4 years, 6 months ago)

jcm @ #1396: good fun and not too obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26880: Clever,interesting and challenging (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark W @ #26886: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26878: Very good! Super pedantic point - Stilton is a village. (Please take some comfort from the fact that I’m ashamed of myself for not letting that go!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark W @ #26885: Loads and loads of red herrings. Really good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Nobby @ #26694: I got incorrect for 'dance' instead of 'styles of dance'. Surefly if the main word there is dance it should have been allowed. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Robert @ #26883: ROBERT!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

dong @ #26883: stupid shit (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26872: Complete garbage (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26867: Nice crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26876: Is it an intentional joke that this grid has been repeated twice like the song titles? 😀 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark W @ #26876: I think the two groups being similar worked very well (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26873: Very nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26877: Liked it but towns group quite vague and Stilton is a village (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #26876: Good, except the two groups, while good, were too similar. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26876: Excellent, right up my street! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26873: Fun grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

No Marvel DC mixing @ #26868: you cannot do that. illegal (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26871: Should be 'dessert', not 'desert'. And I think the book heroines one, given that they are in books by different authors, and most of them non-titular at that, is too loose a connection to guess from a standing start. But that may just be me. I did enjoy the other groups though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joseph @ #2748: Well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26862: Good. Not too hard! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joseph @ #26875: Nice (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26877: Some nice red herrings! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joseph @ #26877: Wkd (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon Wilkin @ #26877: Very good, eventually got all of the categories, but stumped by one of the connections. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #26877: Really good, enjoyed that! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark ward @ #26874: Very good but a bit too obscure on the provinces (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mark ward @ #26877: Thoroughly confusing but what a cracker (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #26875: Good. Pretty straightforward (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #26873: Nice one, well constructed. Nice distinction between the Louie and Gimme groups. 5* (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26862: Good one (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26873: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Drex @ #26870: Oops! Sorry for the typo. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26862: Ah! Thank you :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26870: Good. Typo on Isaac but no stress :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26862: OK - but needed crossovers (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #24427: potato not accepted? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26854: Good grid - one group defeated me ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26869: 'Do you know which US state was the last but one to join the Union?' 'No but my wife might. I'll ask her.' (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26867: Good grid! I got the musicians group by default at the end but have only even heard of one of them (I'm clearly not 'with it') so would never have got the full points. Not sure you can count them as musicians but Atomic Kitten are far more my level... 😀 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26862: CorenM 4PM - The explanation is missing the word 'road' which goes in front of all 4 clues. But it works in the answer field. Chris, we get it. You don't like celeb or Harry Potter. No need to keep posting it on every other grid's comments. And some people will like those things, so each to their own! 😀 (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26865: Some clever red herrings! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26862: Really enjoyed this and found 3 neat groups. I’m being thick - I still don’t understand the works group? (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26856: nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26858: Good grid, easy (4 years, 6 months ago)

ChippyD @ #26843: Good Grid. Fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26862: Excellent grid, intelligent and just the right level of difficulty. Would give bonus stars if possible for not having any "celeb" or Harry Potter clues !!!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Orca @ #26862: Sorry the Decembe should be a December, hopefully you got it right but if that put you off then I apologise (4 years, 6 months ago)

ChippyD @ #26846: Very fiendish, very clever! Enjoyed that one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #62: Good, failed to get one group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #96: Nice, though had to guess the Tom Cruise one, luckily I knew cocktail (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #7062: Nice, but not heard of Ivy League hairstyle (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #26850: Yes, the last two groups were easy to confuse (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #26853: Didn’t get but obvious when you see the answers (4 years, 6 months ago)

HanJ @ #26834: Great grid. Suggest allowing "singer alter egos". (4 years, 6 months ago)

drykid @ #26846: incredible as always (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26856: Very good! Glad to see others didn’t spot all the connections, I missed a couple too! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26858: Well done! You’re right to call this easy, it was a “potential PB” as they say in athletics. It’s nice to see a different and easy grid sometimes. Very good :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26853: Found this quite tricky although all the groups were fair. Thanks for submitting:) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26844: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26858: Easy and fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26854: I learnt some new types of bear! That group was tough but a good grid , thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Meg @ #26853: The modes of transport category should also accept vehicles! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Deena King @ #583: Last one all on cassette players (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26842: Clever and great fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26843: And if you like Billy Connolly there's a film of the same name and an alternative meaning! :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26856: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26858: that worked really well! better every time, marshmellow :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Doyle @ #8849: Great wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Doyle @ #8849: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Doyle @ #8849: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Doyle @ #21071: Great wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26846: Very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26843: Excellent grid. Goneril, I can highly recommend Patum Peperium on hot buttered toast! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26840: Good grid - Radio is equally attributable to TV group. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26830: Tricky & clever grid, but fathomable ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

mrs.mac @ #26841: 2 hecates very poor show (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26833: Good grid but pretty hard ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26856: I'd just put my copy of Private Eye down to play this grid (from my holiday hotel room Jacuzzi) and still failed to get that group... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26834: Good grid, but why not accept ‘singers with pseudonyms’ ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26738: Yes good grid, though only Ruby got me through the Tuesday group - Others must be very US ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26843: ...and along comes your Yankee friend to say she's never heard of this relish. Still, lovely grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Joseph Ward @ #26856: Hard but good (4 years, 6 months ago)

John White @ #26789: 10 out of 10. I surprised myself as well as the other family members!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26855: clever- liter got me- kept putting quart in- tricksy and very good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Doyle @ #26805: Great Wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ben White @ #26789: Good level, I made the same mistake as Margo (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26840: hi bloss- sheep shank is a knot! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26843: cleverly structured grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26842: tricky - so many tarot cards! Interesting groups. (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26840: clever and tricky overlaps - thanks! (but wouldn't it be lamb shank instead of sheep?) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26801: Just enough difficulty to make it a challenge but not impossible. Good grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Karma chameleon @ #26842: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Karma chameleon @ #26845: Tricky. Only got one group. Fiendish but it worked (4 years, 6 months ago)

Karma chameleon @ #26850: Nice idea but too many crossovers and the definitions weren’t precise enough to avoid non unique solutions. E.g. you can rotate a wheel of fortune so can be swapped with roll and spin. Set can be swapped with Pullover etc (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26846: Very cleverly designed. Well played! (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26844: Different but good. As below, platinum could be swapped but I enjoyed this :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Potato @ #26555: H words also work as F words (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #1396: Woohoo! First full score for ages! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #26807: Nice one! Kicking myself for one I missed! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #7178: Stephen King. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tiger king @ #15242: Good grid. A bit easy for medium. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26847: Sorry poor example- I meant if orange were in the colours group! ;) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26847: Hi Marshmallow, I hope you're OK with a bit of puzzgrid advice- when you add clues to your 4 groups, try to make sure that they can only fit in their own group, or if they can swap into another group (a red herring/ crossover) that this can only happen one way. For example, If I had red orange yellow green and blue in a grid, and red yellow green blue ere in a group of colours, and orange was in a group of fruits, you'd have to make sure that the rest of the fruit group are NOT names of colours (plum, lemon, lime etc.) as these could swap with orange. Direct swaps mean that the grid is not unique so not so good, I'm afraid. One way swaps (red herrings) are fine as they make the grid more interesting and challenging. I really hope this is helpful and not offensive, best of luck with future grids and do keep trying- the more people join in and have a go the better the site; we've all had wobbly starts and made mistakes but you've had some nice ideas so keep it up! :) Lorna x (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #26841: Two Hecates? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26843: Apologies Jayme- I just tested it and gentlemen's doesn't work, you're right. It was intended to, as well as a tonne of spelling variances, I must have missed something when I typed. Sorry about that (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26849: I have no idea what this is about, even after seeing the answers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26843: By trigger do you mean a clue- or an accepted term? It was the accepted term for that group- I hope it worked? :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26849: Nothing here I recognise- I'm sure it's a great grid for people who know this stuff. Keep up the work marshmellow :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26843: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26843: Great grid! Would possibly add 'Gentlemen's' as a trigger, as stands to reason it can apply in all those cases (and does so more frequently in some). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26840: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Tiger king @ #10172: Great Wall. Couldn’t believe I missed herring. I mean it’s a puzzle grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #1694: Who is Richard / dick poirot ???? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26849: Rubbish (4 years, 6 months ago)

Double Dutch @ #26847: Far from unique and very poor (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #1723: Rain homophones aren't homophones. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26848: BTW its a mistake I've made a lot of times too! I think most of us have at some point. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26848: one of your groups would have had to be between 50 and 100 for this to work, otherwise they can be swapped between either group, which makes it a non unique grid (if something can swap into another grid AND ALSO BE REPLACED it is no longer a red herring, which are what you want, but it is a non unique solution, which knackers the grid). I really hope this is useful to you and not offensive, you had some nice ideas, I'll be interested to see how you do in the future- keep trying, you had some really interesting and new things here :) Lorna x (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26846: Novel idea (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26843: What a good grid should be like (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #26843: Nothing wrong with toilet.i think!cool grid again Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26844: could you possibly swap silver and platinum? so not unique? otherwise great (4 years, 6 months ago)

Neil Jones @ #10577: nice and straightforward (4 years, 6 months ago)

alabaster @ #21861: enjoyed this, a nice range of topics in the groups (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26843: I agree it would have been better than toilet! Hard to concentrate when my kids are trying to get downstairs without using the stairs ie via a hole in the ceiling- at least that's what it sounds like! I hadn't heard of gent's day either- was disappointed to find it- it's a horse- racey thing, I think. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marshmellow @ #26845: I really needed help so hard (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pro at this @ #26845: Sooooooooooooo hard bro really challenged me (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pro at this @ #26844: Brilliant I really challenged my knowledge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Neil Jones @ #25174: Nice one Lydia - solved it quickly, unusual for me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26843: Ah. I've never heard of Gentlemen's Day as a phrase. So that would have left you with a non-unique. As you were, Soldier. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Morgs @ #26841: Correct the error and will be pretty good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26843: I looked at day but was interchangeable with gent's so rejected it, as I already had a crossover, couldn't afford another one. Would have been nice with night, though. Maybe should have kept day and lost toilet, but wasn't thinking! Glad you liked. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26840: Nice grid Anne. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26842: eat group was very clever and a unique idea (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26843: My kind of grid, Lorna. Single words. No faff. :-) Works well as it is - I'd probably swap out Prerogative for Day as I think it fits better in that group but it's marginal. Well played Ms. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26838: Ah- that's better! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26840: I've come to expect a top quality grid from you and wasn't disappointed! (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26839: Difficult to make a comment because I know nothing about three of the groups. The puzzle beat me very easily. There's no red herring for the group I knew but there may be a shoal of 'em for the other categories. I don't have a Scooby. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26832: Yep, sorry Leaf but as DD says there isn't a unique solution. (It doesn't affect the enjoyment or effectiveness of this grid but the grid rules of the site say each entry should start with a capital letter.) (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26834: I'm with you Mister Tom. But I think it's down to if you recognise the name of any one of the all male group. If you do, it becomes it a doddle. (4 years, 6 months ago)

asdar @ #26840: Good grid 😁 (4 years, 6 months ago)

asdar @ #26834: Mister Tom, there are only four items per group, so 8 names gives many possibilities for a 4-name combination. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26707: Calvinball. It's different every time you play it! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26834: Perhaps something clever was going on here which I just missed while solving it ... but I couldn't see where the scope for confusion between the group's was here. Especially with 8 names and 8 not (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jin @ #26834: Enjoyable grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

drykid @ #26581: the 'ache' group was exceptional (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26833: Oh, that was as struggle, but well constructed and clever. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26834: Great fun. I got a bit lucky with this tricky grid that was very well thought out. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #26839: Not too bad (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26838: ..Although that would need to have been Elliott. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26838: Couldn't get Clive Owen (Closer with Portman), Sam Eliot, Jennifer Lawrence and, less forgivably, Sharon Stone out of my head so failed miserably! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Est @ #26815: Great grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizGav @ #26836: https://puzzgrid.com/grid/26838 Is the correct version (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizGav @ #26837: Double post... and it has two portmans. Very very sorry for any inconvenience. https://puzzgrid.com/grid/26838 Is correct (4 years, 6 months ago)

QuizGav @ #26836: Two portmans in here.... I failed to check it properly. Please ignore and sorry for multiple postings (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26834: Got the wordplay groups but couldn’t separate the name groups in three guesses. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26825: Didn’t have the knowledge for this one. I guess with Dungeons and Dragons, Pokemon etc you either know them or you don’t (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #26834: Good grid. Bizarrely didn't get the musicians but did get the popes. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mo @ #6111: Nice;0) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26826: wow (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26817: sorry- it was supposed to accept both but doesn't seem to work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26805: Was a bit of a Looper myself and was sure I'd tried all the Bruce film combos at least once. Must have infuriatingly missed that precise combo even though I knew all the films! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26805: Amazing grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26801: Very good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26815: Oh fun guy ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26815: Nice grid.... Must Google 'Judas Ear' - my guess is a plant. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26794: Nice one ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26800: One of my all-time favourite grids! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26770: Oh, this is SO GOOD. Thank you, bloss! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26813: Tough grid.... mainly cos Mrs White lives on in my 1960’s Set !! So there are now two doctors - one alive and one dead.... what were they thinking of. (4 years, 6 months ago)

drykid @ #26622: neil gaiman is quite niche id say, loved the dwarves, great aha moment to when realising pluto (4 years, 6 months ago)

drykid @ #26643: had heard of all the music group (and the red herring) except hey boy hey girl, which is easy enough to work out (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26806: Good grid - thought one group could be ‘all made of metal’ , but your connection. Is better ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

drykid @ #26707: complaining about not knowing calvin ball? i dont even read calvin and hobbes and i know the comic strip, even then its not hard to that group last. (4 years, 6 months ago)

drykid @ #26721: very easy after sorting through all the __ball sports (4 years, 6 months ago)

JuDD BenneTT @ #26514: Wow, what a challenge! Really had my head spinning. (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26821: Tricky one, so many crossovers! Well crafted :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26817: So many red herrings! Very clever. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26786: Very clever grid. Lucianic is quite an obscure reference though! Otherwise a great grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26765: Slapheadtastic! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon C @ #26804: Sneaky. But fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Andrew Pepper @ #26819: I don't think "needle" was a Lord of the Rings sword - "sting"? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Simon C @ #26803: Stumped on one connection again! There does seem to be a golfing connection with all the blue answers too, one a little more tenuous than the others. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Maggot @ #26804: So easy when you know! I had the general idea but didn’t match up any of the groups (4 years, 6 months ago)

Potato @ #26811: Foot should be Feet (4 years, 6 months ago)

Kylee A @ #26799: Very nicee :)))))))))) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Arbuthnot @ #26813: Deceptively fiendish? Deceptively simple! Colours and fruits? I spent an age trying to work out which were the Captain Scarlet characters. And who the frick is using the past participle of fricasee? (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26821: genius, a great grid in every way, really enjoyable and challenging, very well done :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26816: I learnt some new facts about the origins of groups! Difficult grid but enjoyed the trivia :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #26803: Particularly like the colours group, very topical (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26801: quality grid, with no celebs !!!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ellece @ #26762: the uncapitalised set gives itself away - maybe should have had it all in lower case? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Yguyguygygyuuy @ #26781: Iubounouhiohoihiug (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26775: 👍 (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26799: Very nicely put together, and nothing too obscure (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26799: very good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26796: this one double bluffed me - I rejected some pairings, but shouldn't have! Good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26775: There's a start of a grid right there Dodger. Give it a few weeks and you can roll out squirrels and motorbikes. (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26775: Cheers Jahn - appreciated. Any form of communication via the web is fraught with chance of misunderstanding I suppose. I often just take a break if it starts to grate a bit. Don't fret about it. All good now. :-) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26739: Genius of this is how overwhelming it appears at first until you gradually begin to see how to crack it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26659: Thanks Lorna! I'm a sub-editor by trade so would hope any typos are not on my part... I put 'let it,' as the trigger answer - quote marks just added here. Maybe two-word triggers cause problems? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26781: Nice grid - common theme helped. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26786: Good grid good grid with several blind alleys.... All those Freuds ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26770: Nice grid, sucked me in with that name group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26788: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26797: Loved the airplane group, what's my vector Victor? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26794: Nice one. The trick is clever crossovers rather than esoteric knowledge (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26795: Nice grid, not too hard. Had to look up cuprum (4 years, 6 months ago)

kyliewylie @ #26795: Cuprum (Cu) - meaning copper (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26786: Great grid, missed out on freuds. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26795: Cup Rum? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adam @ #26795: Fantastic grid mate, loved every second of solving it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26795: Nice! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26781: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26785: Yes! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26794: really well crafted. good work Fisty (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26779: Good work - particularly enjoyed the nave group (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26775: Good grid. BTW BinDipper if you were referring to me, I am mortified that you thought I wasn’t sincere and grateful for the explanation you gave a couple of weeks back. I really appreciated your help, and thought I’d said thank you. I may have also added a tongue in cheek remark - but that’s the danger when we can’t convey tone of voice here. So pleased to see you back. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26777: Very good - I really enjoyed this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26785: nice (are we making a group of one-word comments?) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26767: Cheers everyone! Sorry Dodger - always tricky to get enough into the answers box. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26786: This is perfect in every way and I adore it. (4 years, 6 months ago)

kyliewylie @ #26766: Yeah that's my bad (4 years, 6 months ago)

Margo @ #26789: Great level, tripped up on one category!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bunny @ #1625: Terrible (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26788: Much easier than it looked- after a daunting start took me 40 secs so by no means over difficult- interesting conceptually and fun and different gameplay to differentiate between languages by feel (as I had no idea what most meant!)- and thanks for some really lovely words, especially the face- slapping schtick! Better than I thought it would be and a nice surprise so thanks :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26785: clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26780: hard but good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #26781: I think Ellece's point should've been written differently. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #26781: Very enjoyable (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mommywinelover @ #26783: 10/10 score! Great quiz for me! Once I caught on that they compliment wines it was easy from there (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26775: Google says the Flying Squirrel was a Scott motorcycle - not a Douglas. Memory is not what it was !?! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26746: square, square toes(noun) a formal and conservative person with old-fashioned views; toes that are squared off, particularly re. footwear. Thanks Dodger :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26775: It'd be a real shame if that kept you away. Glad you're back, with your craziness and biker squirrels :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

jms @ #26780: Good, enjoyable grid. And thank you for Enemy Mine..one of my favourite films (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26782: very interesting to see the end of that rhyme- I've only seen the start before. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26781: clever and fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26780: lovely work yet again- I was thrown by 2 of the mazes but should have worked it out! Very good. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26779: really clever (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26775: It's a genuine squirrel. It might own a motorbike. Nah, that would be nuts. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26777: good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ellece @ #26781: I really liked this! But I really like 'containing bad language' could have been written different (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26775: Nice grid - needed work, but do-able ! Is the Douglas Squirrel a motorbike - will google.... (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bill @ #583: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bill @ #10577: nice wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #12698: Loved it (4 years, 6 months ago)

gridlington @ #26767: Good grid! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26779: Hope this isn't too 'bloke-y' ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26769: Nicely done. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26763: Good gridding! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26762: Confused me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26749: Well constructed and fun. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26748: Oh! that was tough, needed a lot of flower arranging. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26755: Great work ,but it had me beaten. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #26772: Much too hard for the likes of me. Well constructed though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26746: Good grid... Except 'square toes' ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26775: Got a bit cheesed off with the moaners. Then I tried to help someone with what we meant by 'not unique' and that didn't go well either. So I thought "Feck 'em" :-)) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26775: haven't seen you in a while, then you come back with that beauty. Quality (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26767: Good except 'beg' 'request' deemed not correct for beseech group ? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26731: Tough but good - thought The Hague was Dutch capital - every day is a school day ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #1498: Nice Crossovers. Just did it with 15 seconds to go and only really got the last group whilst typing the answers in.... (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26772: Now Othello has tricked me! Typical of him tbh. Great grid :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26770: Thanks Lorna - you're welcome to Othello and all future words :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26772: Quite tricky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26770: Really good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26739: Ah- I see it! Thanks. You know, I'm sure that if I had used "moody" in the emotions group, someone would have complained that it didn't fit! I thought I was safe when I checked as nothing could replace the places- but you've made me re-examine the possibility of 3 way swaps, so it's a good lesson. Well spotted! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26770: I'm borrowing Othello from you- it gave me an idea! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26770: Again! Brilliant, totally fooled by the false group and missed the obvious. Great stuff, top quality grid yet again. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26769: top quality- got me with owl (4 years, 6 months ago)

christo @ #26767: Enjoyed that one. (4 years, 6 months ago)

WIZ @ #26762: Neat but not easy for me!enjoyed it... (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #26681: drugs :( (4 years, 6 months ago)

bob @ #26707: 422, 82, 72, 129 all buses I travel on obviously any fool should get this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marakenny @ #21280: Loved the groupings on this one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Wordie @ #26767: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26760: Nice grid. Lovely crossovers. Thanks! (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #26739: Yeah, no connections swap over to go both ways but we can switch 3. The green day answer can go into the colour group, replacing moody blues which can then find it's way to the emotions group, leaving us with a gap in the time which happy mondays will fill rather nicely (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26769: Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26766: But you can't add 'der' to bartend? (4 years, 6 months ago)

MickB @ #683: George. All can be preceded by Ant. Ant hill, antelope, anthem and Antarctic . Great clue!! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26739: Good grid - I too was looking for the obscure !?! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26760: yeah- as long as they don't get abusive. people use this site to vent- I don't think its unique to here- its anonymity, they think it gives them permission to be bumholes. Their problem, not ours. But general criticism is to be expected when you set grids I'm afraid, it's an open forum. sometimes helpful, sometimes worth ignoring. G'night :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26768: intelligent and varied (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26736: Will have to google ‘red states’ - tough grid ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26767: good work (4 years, 6 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #8806: my kind of grid ..good job mixu p (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26760: Cheers lorna, just anoys me when people who don't set grids complain about the categories (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26764: Enjoyed that - cheers (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26765: Nice grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26764: loved the red idea- couple of herrings in this (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26763: I quite enjoyed that (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26760: good work again Fisty. Don't be put off, it's just what people are like on here. I'm getting used to it. Care about what's worth caring about, take the rest for what it is. :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #25930: I got all 4 wrong even though I used the same words as in the given answer! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26749: Soz bout that, never sure how to properly word the linking (4 years, 6 months ago)

Mickeyb @ #26749: Good grid but rubbish category didn't accept synonyms as an answer??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #26762: Not tough at all. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26760: Decent (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26762: Tough one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26755: Good one - even if I botched it (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26726: Oh no I don't get the reference. Must be bad boo hoo (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26726: Yes?? Yes??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26707: Calvinball????? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Marksnsparks @ #26728: Good grid but agree 'lead' is spelt the same unless it means the metal then it's not a homophone. Otherwise enjoyed it (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26726: Red Wedding?? Weapons in Doom??? (4 years, 6 months ago)

That was fun! @ #26758: (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26728: agree with Dodger (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26601: If you're interested I found it- "shȯr" for both sure and shore- hope this helps- homophones always cause a debate! :) :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26736: pink group should take "assassins" (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26601: My usual rule of thumb with homophones is the little pronunciation guide next to the word in the dictionary. If they match, it's a homophone and no- one can argue! Makes life a lot easier :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26577: Verr, can u do a grid please. Seem very critical of mine (4 years, 6 months ago)

Fisty @ #26601: Not sure how else you can say these words that don't sound like homophones, maybe learn annunciation (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #26741: Excellent. Thank you (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26746: Thanks all! Chris- I do sometimes add two of those subjects but usually as false groups! I honestly don't know enough celeb trivia to make a grid though! And I struggle if anyone else does :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Ade @ #26747: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #23576: Not keen on the low group but I liked the vowels. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26748: Superb (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26750: really good (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26749: Really good grid - cheers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26749: Some lovely red herrings- I was convinced that garbage was a trick- double bluffed me! Good stuff again well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26750: Great grid - well done! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26747: Really good! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26746: thanks Lorna! (4 years, 6 months ago)

TestDummy @ #15067: Lollies only good overseas (UK). (4 years, 6 months ago)

Parkgrae @ #26742: Hi David. I just double checked and 'abbreviations' is definitely one of the accepted answers for that group. Maybe you mistyped it? (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26727: (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #26736: Really enjoyed that! I got them all but felt like I’d done well. Great wall (4 years, 6 months ago)

CT @ #26721: Too many possibilities for me! Clever wall though. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #23398: Good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26741: Well executed and intelligent grid. Well done. Bonus points for no celebs, Harry Potter or Cluedo (4 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #26746: Intelligent, well constructed grid. Bonus marks for no celebs, Harry Potter or Cluedo clues !! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26741: Very good. Donkey was a new one on me. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #23576: Don't think windlow is a word. Words beginning with 2 vowels bit iffy (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26742: Tricky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26746: Nice one (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26739: No sorry Cypriot- i'm not seeing it? Which ones are swappable, under the given definitions? I've been over it again and haven't spotted what you mean. Nothing that can swap both ways. (4 years, 6 months ago)

ElleCe @ #26748: blimey, SO HARD - love a bit of floriography (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26747: Niiiiiiiice. unpredictable and novel. Good work, again :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #26739: Not a unique solution. You can swap 3 connections around to make another correct answer for each row (4 years, 6 months ago)

David @ #26742: Nice, tricksy grid. I'd have thought 'abbreviations' might have worked as answer to the group connected by shortened names. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26740: Some obscure bands here I grant you but not important in this case I thought, as you didn't need to know anything about the bands, it was a wordplay spot the theme puzzle rather than a quiz. One definition of dash is "to strike or knock violently" so I think it does fit that group. Thanks for your feedback :) (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26740: Definitely easier after doing the other. Clever crossovers! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26722: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Goneril @ #26739: You've trained us to ignore the obvious! I let the entire time run out looking for tricks and thinking "haha, Lorna wants us to bite on times or places!" Love this. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cal @ #26706: Nice not to have "niche " groups, but still tricky! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Adrian @ #24982: Nice challenge. Well done (4 years, 6 months ago)

Caz2 @ #24804: So fed up with words containing names of parts of the body! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Cal @ #26720: Clever grid. Small point- it's Minpins not Minipins (4 years, 6 months ago)

Biff @ #26731: Some quite specific knowledge required (which I don't have!) (4 years, 6 months ago)

pewdiepie @ #10577: sub to me (4 years, 6 months ago)

e @ #10577: e (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26736: Very good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #26715: Good grid. I would argue that the Snow line could also be ball (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26738: UK guesses would have said different days for the Tuesday group - I would have said Sunday for Super for one... Good grid though (4 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #26730: Nice, Stones tripped me up (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26739: I should have done this before the Fiendish one - good grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26740: Didn't know half of these! I do think Dashboard Confessional is a stretch for the given descriptor, but that could easily be sour grapes for it being so difficult. Tough grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Karen @ #26342: brilliant (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26741: really enjoyable- I'm a Devon lass so Camel gave me that group but I wonder how it will be for others? Great grid (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26734: Good grid - enjoyed, but x-men group defeated me ! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26727: great overlap! (4 years, 6 months ago)

bloss @ #26722: loved it. got confused by wave though! (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26721: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Dodger @ #26728: Can't see link between 'homophones' ? Otherwise good grid. (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26738: Nice, I enjoyed the Tuesday group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26731: well done jahn but too hard for me! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26734: clever again (4 years, 6 months ago)

jms @ #26726: Just looked up Red wedding...Game of Thrones! (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26730: nice wordplay (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26727: Top quality- great use of a false group (4 years, 6 months ago)

lorna @ #26726: great! I had no idea about gremlins, that was so interesting, thanks (4 years, 6 months ago)

Est @ #26733: I agree with Jayme's comments. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Est @ #26738: Nice grid. I didn't know the Reservoir Dogs one (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26739: (4 years, 6 months ago)

Not Sam @ #26624: This actually hurt my head. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #26601: Straight to homophone hell for the 'sure' clue! 😵 as a rule, use homophones that are homophones for most/all regional accents of the language. (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jahn @ #26739: Fun (4 years, 6 months ago)

Primrose @ #26730: (4 years, 6 months ago)

tom @ #26733: the 'tennis' answer could be preceded by any racket sport (4 years, 6 months ago)

Jayme @ #26734: Tolkien one is very well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jayme @ #26733: I answered 'tennis', 'materials' and 'Cinderella' and got none right, so I think the parameters on the answers need adjusting. Also should be 'preceded', not 'proceeded'. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nz @ #26735: The Beatles one isn't correct. George should be there but not Paul (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cajun13 @ #26726: Red and Golden Wedding? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26734: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

24601 @ #6833: Relatives please (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26726: Game of thrones (4 years, 7 months ago)

24601 @ #10577: GREAT. WALL. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #26068: Very good Bothyboy. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #26140: Thought you’d been on the gin at first! Very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26730: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #26153: Very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #26707: Spoilt by Calvin all. No need for obscurity! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #26726: Red wedding? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #26727: Good mixture (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26727: Pretty easy connections once you spot them but amazing use of the false connection that was not actualy a group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dodger @ #26696: Nice grid - do-able, but hard enough to be enjoyable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26716: I also liked it. The four stranges did make it easier. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26722: Fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Taildragger @ #26722: Refreshingly different, good job! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26725: clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26710: original (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26714: Ah- I see, it was a cryptic clue! I took it as literal- I'd agree, obscure knowledge, yes! Good grid though (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26716: I agree entirely with Esq- I can see that the non uniqueness was deliberate rather than a mistake and attempt to do something new and quirky- keep this spirit because some of my favourite grids have been in the weird and wonderful vein- truecockney and dan c, amongst others. Best of luck :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26721: Good grid, tricky how to word that connection (4 years, 7 months ago)

HJ @ #516: Should accept 'native language' (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26722: lots of fun to do, nice and easy, lovely concept (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26721: Still works for me, I'm English, a few doors down to the rough end of the road from RP ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26720: The Wee Free Men only have blue skin due to copious tattoos and woad but it's not phenotypic blueyness so I think you're fine- pedantry can work IN your favour, occasionally! I loved this grid, full of stuff I like and well crafted. I'd expect no less! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #26707: Great, but who’s Calvin? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26718: Two groups were easy but I found the Elizabeth group a bit too general. Nice wall though! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26706: Very good. I was convinced there was a Give group and a Take group but overthought it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26723: Almost impossible, nice idea with the years though (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26701: Didn’t get the Limahl group but very well put together. Excellent wall, great work! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #26709: Too American for me. And I missed the Potter link, knew they rang some kind of bell. (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26722: I liked this soooo much!thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #26722: Asterisks may make it easier to spot the groups. I didn’t find this particularly hard. Still fun though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Donald Wilfred III @ #12432: Won't accept 'Clue' as an answer? What a joke, this is anti-American yet again, sick of it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26722: Is * Good or Bad? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #12432: Sir Digby likey. Very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #26712: Sir Digby no likey. (A) Penny if you're going to use A Bird Egg please. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26722: ***** (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26722: * out of * (4 years, 7 months ago)

P @ #5795: Walkers and lays are the same. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #26694: Well. well, well, well. WELL. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #26714: A bit too obscure on the Wigan front (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #26718: Wished I’d spotted the fourth set quicker. Tricky but enjoyable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26586: Another good one, though I was thrown by the missing H from whinge. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fritzaps @ #26715: good grid dome & drome had me for a bit! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26721: Hard! Could have done with a clue (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #2093: Connections were obvious but plenty of red herrings to keep it interesting (4 years, 7 months ago)

plainplane @ #26627: Fantastic grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Raul @ #26710: Poor effort Jahn (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #19275: Fiendish grid. Great red herrings. Didn’t manage a single group but knew them all. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #26720: No sooner did I post this than I realised it is not a true grid. Wee Free Men and Smurfs are interchangeable. I would delete it if I could. Apologies all (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie @ #26715: Nice crossover with Palin- had me fooled for a while! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jayme @ #26717: Great grid! For some reason didn't accept 'Moore'. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Glooey @ #26715: Nice grid - it's straight forward once you get there, but the dome/drome thing foxes you for a bit. ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26717: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26715: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #9214: Fun but not hard once I had worked out the theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26714: Post code for Wigan pier is WN3 4EU. Too obscure???? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26694: Very easy, but good fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26693: Good gridding! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26692: Clever and puzzling. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26691: Good stuff! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26689: Wow, that was a toughie, but very well constructed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26711: Very good first attempt- some original ideas, some crossovers, one group a tad confusing mixing 2 members 2 birds, but I see why- overall a top effort, I'll look forward to your future grids! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26714: Beautiful concept- Pseudo Wigan didn't work but I loved, loved, loved the idea in this one, great stuff, innovative, keep it up :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26715: Nice! Good grid. Goneril- your favourite group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dodger @ #26692: Good grid ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dodger @ #26711: Thanx ! My first effort at compiling a grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26716: Not that hard to solve with a bit of guessing. Good idea but doesn't quite fit with the format. Some people will not forgive you! Keep trying out your ideas because you'll soon hit on something no one has thought of and we'll all be delighted. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26715: clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26712: haha you have anagram red herrings now! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26712: The pips were my key! We don't often call them that here, and I never see the term without picturing five of them falling out of an envelope. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26715: Charismatic megafauna! Fab grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jayme @ #26716: They were good category ideas but yes, either the Puzzgrid limitations or your mastery of them (I'm in same boat do not a criticism of you) make this a lot harder than it should be! (4 years, 7 months ago)

aps1971 @ #26716: You have to pick the correct “strange” which is totally strange. The _r category is not easy to get correct but I don’t know how to fix it; I hope people can guess it ... ugh. Anyway thanks for playing my board and apologies. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy73 @ #26681: Agreed (4 years, 7 months ago)

D @ #26712: This was hard but amazing! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26712: I tried to hide it amongst all the other anagrams/ near anagrams! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26712: Garrideb was my way into this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26712: "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs" is the title of a story (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26711: I groaned. Means it's good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26712: Do you remember things like Garrideb? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26706: I liked this (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26710: Tough one, but quality grid ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26709: clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26706: great! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26700: tough but cool! I got the reversible words concept, but missed one of them! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26712: Loved this (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26711: Great! Particularly liked the Winslow Arizona group (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26696: clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26712: Great Varied Grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26708: Nice! Good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #19275: Thought 'public spaces' should be acceptable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26693: fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anna Cotta @ #26014: Excellent grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26691: loved it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anna Cotta @ #26043: Camas, you’re very clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26689: I didn't get all of this, but it is very cool (4 years, 7 months ago)

Chris Humphreys @ #26706: Enjoyed solving the board even though I didn’t get the last line. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #24900: yup first group were all serial killers (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26681: fun grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #24951: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25184: last group wouldnt take celestial bodies (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26696: Very good. I only got the ‘hall’ group, but was disappointed with myself when I saw the others, I must do better! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jojof @ #24660: Definitions inaccurate. Polygons should be allowed for mathematical shapes. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26701: All of your tricks worked on me- skilful, difficult, well played! Thank you :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Margo @ #26640: Katy, this was a tricky one, can't believe I missed the sneaky starters! (4 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #26694: I think there are several different legal combinations swappable between the Tap and Rap groups, unfortunately. (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26693: Lovely stuff (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26694: Really enjoyable. I think country and maybe reggae can be swapped with jazz, so no unique solution. But a good grid nonetheless (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26693: Great, inventive as ever! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26696: very high quality, fun, satisfying, good challenge level, skilfully done :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26692: Really enjoyed that! Excellent, 5* (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26691: Very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26691: Mice wall,thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26661: "John Sterling" you need to do a better job of disguising your name- just because I write horrificly??? bad quizzes, don't for one second presume that I'm stupid. You're embarrassing yourself again, I've been kind to date as you clearly have issues but it stops now, thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #2661: I would definitely say horse and hoarse are homophones where I’m from . (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26692: good intelligent grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

stonerose @ #26686: crisps are snacks.... (4 years, 7 months ago)

kohnnie @ #26692: Nice grid although Hotel is a gimme. The herb one also leaps out a little as sageness is such an odd word. (4 years, 7 months ago)

kohnnie @ #3188: One or two red herrings, but reasonably easy to pick the four groups. I thought the final four were OT prophets so reasonably close. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26692: fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26689: top quality, deeply satisfying with great references- had 2 goes at this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26643: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26681: Good grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26684: Good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

tet3 @ #22558: Tim: "Tango & Cash" and "Calvin & Hobbes" are definitely not "couples", and it's an odd choice for "Thelma & Louise". (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26691: nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

John Sterling @ #26690: Esq I thought if someone guessed the theme it would avoid them instantly getting all 4 (4 years, 7 months ago)

John Sterling @ #26661: Another horrificly bad quiz from lorna (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stu @ #26691: Should accept things you can serve as answer (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26689: Very good - very hard! (4 years, 7 months ago)

RC @ #26470: Best one yet! I got "sportsman" rather than "footballers" which I think they would have let me have on TV... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26690: Nice idea. Why not follow through with the theme for the function group? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sam @ #26686: Very satisfying grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

John Sterling @ #26690: Nice quiz mate (4 years, 7 months ago)

Owen Ayre @ #26688: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26681: Purely a personal bias, but I don't think it is appropriate to be using drug slang in these grids. Seems to have become a theme in recent weeks across a number of grids. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26684: Really enjoyed the grid - well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26686: Good grid. Pedantic papal points : I think it is Pius, should just be popes without the regnal number. Liked the puree group and the Beatles inclusion (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #26686: didn't except crisps, didn't except clothes brands (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #9875: (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26608: nice work! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26677: I put toads/frogs for the last question but it did not accept why??? considering it's Natterjack. Loved the Animal links though (4 years, 7 months ago)

John Sterling @ #26687: Incredible! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26686: loved it! 20th century popes sounds like a name for a band (4 years, 7 months ago)

Marakenny @ #25814: Liked this one a lot (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26659: Hi there both- if I may suggest- if Jayme typed the word "it" (as in let it) singly and followed by a comma the grid may have accepted exit as a result- I think it's programmed to accept partial spellings- it suggests putting "comed" to cover "comedy" or "comedian" so I think that is the case. any small mistakes on either Jayme or Bob's entry of the word quiz could explain the other- comma in the wrong place or typo. I hope this is helpful x some good grids Jayme keep it up :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

aphis99 @ #26660: good mix (missed the pronouns)...i prefer grids with four distinct categories rather than 16 variations on a theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mickle @ #26659: Liked the chubby row (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #21404: Started with cats (1xRH) & Mary, so no probs with black. Nice grid ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jayme @ #26659: Hi Bob, that's very odd, as 'exit' was not in my key words list to trigger a correct answer, yet 'quiz' was included for the other category. I'm afraid I'm not regularly enough on here to be able to proffer an explanation... (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26668: loved the boogy woogy bugle group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26681: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26680: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26678: I really enjoyed this grid. Pity about the Eleanor/Michelle non unique thing, and Jude is a boy (Julian Lennon), but I don’t want to spoil the party so I’ll go.😉 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26678: Hmm, not sure about the Beatles group. Hey Jude is generally considered to have been written about John Lennon’s son Julian and not a girl. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Smolenkoy @ #26650: Good grid. By chance, I managed to group the cricketers, because all of the words could be followed by "up" ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26678: Michelle and Eleanor can be swapped so no unique solution? Interesting idea for a wall though (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26659: too esoteric (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26681: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26661: Done with 2s to spare, phew. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26678: Quite easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26680: Great is at the beginning of 3 but not Catherine.. just doesn’t quite fit for me (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26664: its a good grouping for red herring opportunities as such generic terms can cross with a lot, yet recognisable as a group. Think I may have used them once, can't remember now (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26664: up, down ,charm, strange, top, bottom (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26664: it doesn't accept flavour or flavor though (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26664: they were flavours of quarks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26677: It IS natterjack not nutterjack. Good grid but that group was a bit weak compared to the others. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26626: Tricky, got 2 groups & 2 reasons. Got the languages without knowing why! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26678: This grid beat me, but after seeing the solution, I have to admit it's a good one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26621: Got two groups & 3 reasons - I guessed Cream.. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #26662: Nighteyes, yes I guess it's a little too obscure. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26677: Think it’s natterjack, not nutterjack? (4 years, 7 months ago)

adsar @ #26666: Hairy Maclary was published in 1983. I'm in my late fifties and I knew it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ethan @ #26656: Loved it!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ethan @ #26650: Loved it! Thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26664: No idea what qurak is. Google thinks I mean quark, but even then it makes no sense. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ethan @ #26661: Thanks, loved it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26674: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26674: Nice wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ethan @ #26677: Loved it, thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #10632: Good but never been to Manchester suburbs. My loss I guess. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gary glittar @ #26673: Poo, don’t bother (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #8536: Entered 'New York' for the papers group and apparently that is wrong even though more precise than just 'papers'. And how many people can name one Huey Lewis and the News song title? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #3712: Must be my age but to of the bands I'd never heard of so ran out of guess with parks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #26659: I found the groups bar one. But in identifying the groups I entered 'game show' or 'quiz show' and that was deemed incorrect. For the songs I entered 'Exit' which came up as correct (which it obviously isn't). Some work needs to be done on the checks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26666: Quite easy if you’re in your late forties! Otherwise could be tricky. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #26666: Probably niche, but much enjoyed by many children. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26664: Didn’t get the qurak group, and google doesn’t recognise it? The romance group was familiar - I posted it a few months back :) very good crossover with the Jimi group though, wish I’d thought of that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26663: All very easy except for Polo & Marietta. I'm in my sixties and like biscuits, but I've never heard of either. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26661: The best grid I've seen for a while. Valid groups, none of which demand any niche knowledge (or which can be guessed - e.g. pin-deck). Some nice red-herrings, including at least one entire false group. Excellent. 10/10 , which is what I got, but only with seconds to spare. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26662: Barbell row is pretty obscure don't you think? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26664: The Pele group was fiendish but fair. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26666: Hairy Mac-what? Kinda niche, don't you think? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26663: And I’ve just noticed your flag! 🤭😂 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26663: Decent grid, cheers. Some cultural differences: I’d not heard of Polo in this context (apparently more of a thing in Ireland). And have always known Marietta as Marie. Apparently they are the same thing. Always good to learn! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26648: I did one of these a while back... got a couple of groups by reasoning there was probably one Japanese term in each and exhaustive searching, but I'd be stretching to say I found the process enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #26648: I got the sense of puzzle early but my french and Japanese is awful. Managed to assemble them all but the 'Loud-er' foxed me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #26662: Very good. I was near, but never near enough (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26661: Are you ever tempted to include body parts as an actual group, just to keep people honest? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26666: Thank you! I really enjoyed that. And the Schnitzel group brought back memories of when my children were young. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #26650: I didn't get stem association but deduced close from the other three words in what was the remaining group. I did it in less than a minute so not so hard, especially when I know nothing about cricketers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26668: Top notch! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26661: Very good: and now I know what a colophon is! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26667: cool idea! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26661: Good grid - I had to google colophon whilst doing it! 😆 (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26657: Ahhh! Beat me with the same trick for a second time! :) Tough grid but not unfair (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26661: good cross-overs! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26662: Got lost looking for another type of mouse! Very good, thanks for submitting :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26661: Spotted 3/4 groups but couldn’t all the clues for any! I only started scoring once the groups were shown to me. All fair general knowledge :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26661: Tough, but great quality. (4 years, 7 months ago)

jammydodger @ #26661: Aaargh! Good one. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26662: really clever and fun- I thought rain was out! thank you for this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26660: very clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26659: Think you may have misspelled what Noel Edmonds is- starts with a w not a b! ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26370: I enjoyed this grid, and I loved the blankety group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26660: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Honest lee @ #26659: ...professionally? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gary glittar @ #26659: I’d like to meet the gimp who wrote this (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26651: Nice. Different type of groups from the usual. Worked for me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26658: Nice wall. Lots of possible crossovers, made me think about tactics! Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26654: Definitely fiendish! Although those who watch Inside Number 9 and FND will complete. Tough but fair wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #26575: Potatos are tubers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #26642: Little to American and highbrow. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #26643: Perfect with red herrings and a great music link that I got despite my years. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #21280: Nice;0) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #4720: Nice;0) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26638: Excellent. Thank you! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26657: Completely brilliant! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #4747: Phones is very obscure to me, whereas U2 are familiar.... You just can't please all the people... Enjoyable grid ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26657: I got completely on the wrong track with this one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #21449: Good grid - struggled with the ...ing words ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26659: Cool (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #5890: Huh.... Jude is short for Judith - nice grid ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26658: 88? Why is that an example of something repeated, as opposed to any other number? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26657: But very well crafted (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26657: Tricky (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26658: beautifully themed, elegant work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26657: Hard but fair (4 years, 7 months ago)

NittheP @ #26643: good one thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26655: Fun and easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #26648: A bit too knowledge dependent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #26651: Crossovers? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26656: lost me but I loved the hidden words- very well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #26654: Ridiculously obscure (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jersey girl @ #26656: Very fiendish!! Even football & cricket mad hubby couldn't solve the wall! Nice one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26620: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26641: Lovely and creative! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26656: Worked very hard to make this unique. Hope you like it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jayme @ #26655: Fun quiz - but thought football one was 'Teams who are better than Everton'... ;-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jayme @ #26643: Thanks for the comments, guys! As for the songs, they reached No1, No2, No3 and No3 in the UK charts so are reasonably well-known. By DJ Otzi, Outkast, Plain White Ts and the Chemical Brothers. Give them a look-up on YouTube or similar and you'll probably find you do know them by sound. A good variety of song styles too! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26646: Oh, goodness, the tangle! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26648: Loved this. Agree about the German. The French pronunciation threw me off; not sure it works. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26643: The music group is hardly "accessible general knowledge". I had never heard of any of them. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26648: Nice misdirection to have German You in the do group instead of the see group. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26650: Stem and close are not synonymous. You may close a pipe to stem a flow, but that does not make stem synonymous with flow, because stem applies to the flowing fluid, whereas close applies to the conduit in which it flows, not the fluid itself. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26650: Well done. Stem threw me at first as well, then I engaged brain! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26651: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26651: wet group was clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26650: Stem was clever I thought- didn't get the cricket. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26649: milk was a good addition to that group (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26647: I cockily just threw together all the obvious anagrams- wrong! But a great way to get us started- didn't recognise everybody but nicely work- out- able from the info given, which is the best sort of grid. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26648: Brilliant and solveable but still challenging- great fun and so original. 5 stars very much well earned. :) More great ideas like this, please! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26650: Found the stem group difficult but enjoyed the rest. Some nice crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26649: Easy peasy lemon squeezer (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26649: Nice easy one. Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26648: Fiendish for sure! I didn’t have the knowledge to get anywhere with this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26647: Clever wall. Quite easy once you’ve seen the gimmick. (4 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #26650: Not sure about stem (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #12713: Quite well made (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26649: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26644: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26648: I enjoyed this - despite not knowing any Japanese (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26647: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

black sheep @ #26646: Loved it - Got them in the right order but did not get the full link - nicely done (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26643: Very enjoyable. Nice balance of word play and accessible general knowledge :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26631: Good Grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Griff @ #26638: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26646: Lovely, 5* ! Quite easy for a man of my age, and enjoyable :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

You are @ #26591: Shit (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26577: Up down off out (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #26621: Great wall with great red herrings. Some furious tapping today. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #8618: I put cereal grain and feel robbed (4 years, 7 months ago)

Colin @ #26638: Brilliant. One of my favourites ever. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26644: thanks bloss (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26643: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26643: great! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26641: that happened to me too. This was a brilliant grid! 5 stars, supremely entertaining- fantastic concept and not too hard, I really enjoyed it. One of the best I've done for ages! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26637: Very clever! It is all there if you look hard enough :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonny @ #26614: Got the groups but missed a link. Not video game fan (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #26614: May need maintenance. Eurovision winners wasn't accepted as an answer (4 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #26626: Great stuff. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nz @ #26641: Very easy but elegant (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #26622: Each to their own but some of categories too 'niche' for me. Liked the Pluto one though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #26610: Lorna's right - don't understand how some people can praise a grid that's actually got a substantial failing. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26641: Error in the checking. Sorry (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26622: Fun grid with good crossovers. Neil Gaiman - yay! Pluto - too soon! :P (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26631: Superb (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #12915: Be sure to read the explanations - elementary my dear...... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Angela @ #24011: Salt isn't a powder and flour isn't necessarily white. Picky but... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #685: Good one ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26640: katy this one is really clever! far too hard for me- had some idea but couldn't sort the groups in time. Well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #9875: Nice grid - nothing obscure ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Marisa (Jerseygirl) @ #13408: Easy but St Helier (not Saint) is not a capital city. It is the capital but does not have city status, it's a town. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Angela @ #26555: Wouldn't let me have 'drink anagrams' or 'cactuses'! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky Jarratt @ #566: Love love love this!!! Got with 1 second to spare! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26637: I can't claim originality on that one- saw symmetry as a group a few months back- can't remember who but deserves a hat tip. The caps was a necessity as well as a clue! Palindromes were meant to be a clue of sorts too- get you thinking in those terms. Thanks for commenting as always! This one was fun to do. (4 years, 7 months ago)

MDLS @ #10577: Very satisfying avoiding the red herrings. (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26637: Nice one. Kicking myself for not clocking into why you had used caps lock! Nice to see a unique group like that (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26626: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26626: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26626: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26639: good wordplay- type/ theme made it easier- learned a new word (chop) ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #20940: nice beach (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26638: really enjoyable grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26635: Says too much about me that the port group came very easily. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26622: Tyrion (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26632: Nice wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26630: Not good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #11: Top in a list of anything is a bit time limiting because these things change - they are all four businesses in the case of the web answer. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Astlian @ #26632: beep beep cumming thru (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26634: very good especially the horizontal lines- a really good "think a different way" one. I failed miserably! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ddd @ #26633: The M one is not quite the same as the others in the blue group - so stumped me (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #47: Hmm - trying to be too clever for its own good. The Va group can be linked as words that can be ended with le - so I got the grouping right for the wrong reason. It wouldn't accept elements (?) and it wouldn't accept musical scale - so a bit disappointed but I liked the concept of it very much. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26633: Don't think so. resubmit? Although its a small error (4 years, 7 months ago)

Astlian @ #10577: brilliant (4 years, 7 months ago)

dashdash @ #26633: @esq: yes you're right. Is editing possible? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #77: Like others a bit puzzled at cocktail not being liked by the setter but I struggled with two groups anyway so would merely have had 4 out of 10 rather than 3... (4 years, 7 months ago)

RC @ #26516: Carp arc. Grr (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26626: I did like this.but I wasn't sure of the invasion... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26633: Should it be hyet rather than hyat? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #56: Got just 2 out of 10 as despite numerous attempts I couldn't get the pepper group to gel. Great grid - the epitome of how it should be and I really loved it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #26630: a (4 years, 7 months ago)

RC @ #26524: Glad I got this one, just in time (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #114: Got the mission group wrong as talked myself out of the obvious answer! Good grid. My second attempt at level "hard" (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #96: My first attempt at one in the hard category. Found all answers but got one connection wrong in the cocktail group. Those who speak of not liking interchangeable answers are missing the whole point of the game! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26633: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26626: Ha ha it does! I counted at least 6 red herrings? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26632: fun, good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26631: brilliant (4 years, 7 months ago)

Steve @ #26626: To the person who said no red herrings, I used up all my lives on British Rail (which sounds like a Half Man Half Biscuit song title) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Simon @ #26626: Completely in the dark about the languages. I managed to get the group but thought they might be Native American words! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Grizzlefur @ #26630: Thanks Lorna! I've been told that this was really hard by a few people - I'll try to soften up the next one :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samquizman @ #26626: Very good, but no red herrings! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26630: nail group was clever but be careful with your caps- gave a group away! thanks for the help though, I needed it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26624: 26373, 26358 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26626: I liked throw a wobbly! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26624: Hi Samquizman- I looked these up for you as I think the comments on them will be helpful in terms of setting grids (ignore my stupid jokes!) BinDipper does a great job of explaining red herrings vs non unique grids; this also applies to duplicate entries. It's a bit like the puzzgrid offside rule on here but once you see it all comments grading etc makes sense! Good luck with future grids (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26621: Great grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26626: Good tough wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26623: Good grid apart from that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ellece @ #26623: darnit! no it was meant to be dagger ... shows me for creating these while at work... (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26621: Really good, didn't get it (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26620: terrific crossovers! good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Kaph @ #26621: 5/10, I got two groups and three connections (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stu @ #26623: Is there meant to be two 'machete' in one group? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26529: Quality - that took some work I'd say. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

MJL @ #26626: Really enjoyed this one, properly made me think. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dysgwr @ #26626: Lovely wall. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dysgwr @ #26621: The colours of groups just show the order in which you completed them - so I don't know which ones you're talking about, sorry. When it comes to the answers accepted, I try to allow quite general answers to be generous. It might be possible to swap some names between groups but I don't believe this would have allowed a complete solution using the official groupings as stated. I hope not, anyhow! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Maggie @ #8541: great. didn't get the last one (4 years, 7 months ago)

edi markanday @ #22433: we are eternal (4 years, 7 months ago)

edi markanday @ #22433: we are one and the same being (4 years, 7 months ago)

edi markanday @ #22433: you are me (4 years, 7 months ago)

Simon C @ #26621: Nice having a grid where all is (or appears to be) surnames, but I'm not convinced by the official answer for the blue group, I'd dispute two of those names being in there. I submitted a more general answer for that group, which was marked as correct, but if that's correct then you could swap at least one blue and red name and they'd still both be correct. (4 years, 7 months ago)

andreas ktori @ #22433: this quiz sucks (4 years, 7 months ago)

andreas ktori @ #22433: edi is clever i am dumb (4 years, 7 months ago)

andreas ktori @ #22433: i am dumb (4 years, 7 months ago)

edi markanday @ #22433: this game made me feel bad because it is rubbish (4 years, 7 months ago)

edi markanday @ #22737: i think that this is very bad game (4 years, 7 months ago)

AKAANSH AGIIIIIT @ #10577: im the bestl ol (4 years, 7 months ago)

andreas ktori @ #22433: this game is garbage if i didnt male it i would be playing something else (4 years, 7 months ago)

SuperOreo @ #10172: Very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ellece @ #26607: I loved this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joseph Southall @ #26589: pretty solid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ellece @ #26624: two laps had me confused for a bit, got all the names but didnt connect to bible - very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ellece @ #26601: Fun! Love a good homophone set Didn't get Native in the deodorants till the last second (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26620: Good red herrings. nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

bert @ #11933: so "confectionery" or just "painters" isnt good enough ?!?! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #26621: Nice grid - good groups and red herrings. Beat me all ends up - I knew all the groups but couldn't grab them in time. Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ellece @ #26617: you're right! got a bit too carried away haha (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ellece @ #26616: I kept trying to put 'off' after a combination of blast/blow/shoot/dash and bugger - I was convinced.... sigh (4 years, 7 months ago)

Onlyconnectpair @ #26608: We put palindrome for one group and it said incorrect!? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samquizman @ #26617: I liked this. Figured there would be elements in there somewhere and also letters that sound like words but I just couldn't find them! I was hoping there would be some sort of letter symmetry connection but there was not sadly. Decent, just like lorna said maybe leave a way in. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #26616: Up to your usual (high) standard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samquizman @ #26616: Just kidding of course. I enjoyed this quiz very much actually. It was good that you had at least 4 things that could go in the shall we say 'angry remarks?' category that didn't actually exist! I struggle making quizzes any good so thanks for the comment on mine and i'll make the next one better if I can! I made one called 26613 like I said but I think it's too hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rachel @ #26618: Loved this wall! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samquizman @ #26616: Pretty terrible quiz I must say. The historic uses for gunpowder is desperate attempt to make your bad choice of red herrings work. I note also that you used hidden words links twice! If you need to do that to make your categories and red herrings work then this is not a good quiz at all! In response to your comment about my quiz, it wasn't really intended for people such as yourself who go round subliminally bragging about how 'intellectual they are'. I purposefully put red herrings that could be swapped in to make it harder, it doesn't detract from the quiz. In fact if you had just those categories left, 3 guesses is enough to trial and error which way round they should be. I just thought I would make it a bit harder as those two categories were obvious. Perhaps try my other quiz 26613 and see if you are intellectual enough to complete it, I think not! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jack Woodward @ #2184: 10/10 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26619: I liked the snake group (4 years, 7 months ago)

Chris L @ #26618: Good wall. Did badly, but I've learned something! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26617: I'm sorry but I really didn't like this- it's a shame because you had some great ideas for really original groups and it did all work- but you also have to give people a starting point, without having to make an enormous leap to guess what you were thinking- single letters are not enough information, there are thousands of possibilities- in a way it's therefore not a unique grid as you could combine them in so many different ways. Do, Do, Do keep trying though, there's obviously a powerful mind behind this, I'd be interested in what you do next, just please leave a "way in". Meant to be helpful I hope it's not too offensive to you :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26618: good work, didn't know octonauts and the currencies were an education (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26616: You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off! Blow up would have been easier but I kept blow as it fit my false group- wasn't sure if I'd get away with it- but I've heard "blow the bridge" in films etc? I admit it's a sneaky group, you have to catch onto the medicine bit and work from there. Thanks for commenting Jahn (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26616: Good one. Not 100% sure about blow - but it’ll do (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26608: Very pleasing,thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26609: Decent grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26610: as in city, town, county (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26610: you could swap the districts for some of the teams- sorry :( otherwise very good but not unique I'm afraid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26608: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rebecca @ #26610: An absolute thriller! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26610: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Coca Cola Zero @ #26610: Great Quiz! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samquizmanhimself @ #10577: Nice quiz (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samquizmanhimself @ #26613: Not the best, but very fiendish (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #26610: Good quiz, thanks!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Better Sam @ #26610: This was fantastic, I cannot believe how much fun I have had. Maybe the real quiz was the friends we made along the way. 10/10 would quiz again. Have recommended to my nan. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Robyn @ #26610: Very Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26608: Nice easy one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26607: Absolutely brilliant I loved the wordplay, I loved how many names you got in- great work (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #583: good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #26585: Great grid - could you allow sailor(s) as well as seamen? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #26608: Thanks aphis99 - only managed 5/10 but any issues were entirely mine and not with the wall. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26608: Great Wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26600: Great Grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26606: I'm not completely mean you know! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26606: Well done! Very tricky - took me two attempts! Aw - I recognised you did this one for Chris. (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26603: Maybe this seemed so hard because I’m vegetarian (4 years, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #26591: Very good!!! Ran out of time but great grid. More please!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26606: This is for chris- couldn't do ALL 60's but hopefully more your era- got as close as possible- maybe some late 50's/ early 70's but I hope familiar :) Apologies if it's a bit clunky- I'm out of my depth in this era but a promise is a promise! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26603: This was probably easier because I've worked with sheep! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26601: nice one, kept me guessing for a bit! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26604: I enjoyed this grid. Small point - it’s Vasco da Gama (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26593: clever - but I didn't have enough knowledge to solve. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26591: excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bexos @ #26604: Poor (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26577: Thanks all, good spot Steve didn't see that (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26588: Yeah was a struggling a bit to word that link, think mine is better than sweets though as they are chocolates (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26591: So very pleasing! Thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26377: Milk was in snake category so good news if acid milk is not a thing. (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26377: Milk was in snake category so good news if acid milk is not a thing. (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26596: Hello Aetees,that's a cool grid you've made! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26441: I thought all the sleeping clues were obvious but maybe only in the UK? Sleeping policeman is a speed bump to slow traffic. Sleeping bag is a zip up duvet, sleeping beauty is a fairy tale and sleeping partner is a silent partner who isn't directly involved in a business. (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26516: Sea Lark is a bird (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26516: Sea Lark is a bird (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #26588: Should have allowed sweets in line 1 as they aren't actually selection boxes (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #26592: It is a unique solution (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #7244: Never heard of Ryan Bingham so not that famousv (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26593: sorry chris- only just read this- did another one but not 60's! I can try to work on a 60s one? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26600: I certainly couldn't solve this in 3 mins- see it as a novelty quiz type thing and take a couple of goes if you need them! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26593: Different concept well delivered. Another one please, but can you make it 60,s music, yes I am that old ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26591: Liked this, not seen one like it before. Great idea. Good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #26591: very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26597: Good and hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26596: fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26597: really fun grid had a few seconds left so highly enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26593: It's the full title according to wikipedia. Pedro has already answered for the other query! Thanks for the feedback :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26598: Stu, you have clearly lead a blameless and virtuous life! 😉 Definition of a clip joint from Wikipedia: A clip joint or fleshpot is an establishment, usually a strip club or night club (often claiming to offer adult entertainment or bottle service) in which customers are tricked into paying excessive amounts of money, for surprisingly low-grade goods or services—or sometimes, nothing—in return (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #26598: I think Hyphens are over-used and over-rated. I am too prudish to explain a clip joint. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26575: Very puzzling, but good fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26596: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stu @ #26598: Aren't Relive and Rebuff hyphenated? And what's a clip joint? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26593: Suddenly saw it with 0:05 left. I don't suppose "will be stuck in all our heads for weeks" is a useful category... Nice one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26593: Really great. That Heart red herring was fiendish - totally threw me as I was fixed on Sheryl (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26584: Great stuff, I didn't notice the spelling errors, but my speeling is dreedfull. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26596: This is a perfect example of how a wall can be easy but still really smart and tons of fun. Love it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26591: Superb (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26590: Cheers! I can highly recommend the 1960 film (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26589: Don't worry about the snark. My feeling is that certain people heap praise on grids they complete (i.e. easy) and vent off on grids that they fail (i.e. challenging or tricky). I enjoyed this and I'm sure many will. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #26593: Great grid, saw it straight away but ran out of time, fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Glooey @ #26593: Superb board -cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adel @ #26591: Enjoyed this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedro @ #26593: Best grid yet. Widger - an ant is absolutely an animal, not a mineral or vegetable :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26593: nice idea - ants as animals is a bit of a stretch. The "All I Wanna Do" is not the full title of song - but does help with the red herring. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Glooey @ #26591: Nice board - something different. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #26570: Good, simple, clean. I liked it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26584: Ah- another mistake! Sorry- Moo moo/ muu muu was my starting point red herring as I knew there was a common vs. original Hawaiian spelling, nasty of me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26586: ah good point- I accidentally used an Australian variation from my dictionary! Just noticed- Doh! Dan C- I have to admit that was deliberate- nasty- sorry! (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Bull @ #26548: This was a pleasant three minutes. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26548: Classy grid. Enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Wayne Anchor @ #26560: Tricky, nice concept but hadn't heard of some of them. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26593: My apologies if one or two of these are a bit obscure- I had to do some hunting but looked for the biggest hits available within the categories. Hope you enjoy. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sam @ #25964: I answered ‘grain’ and ‘gun’ against the correct solved lines and they were marked as incorrect, despite these words being in the answers given?? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gospel dancer @ #26577: Fisty's grids are first class! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26590: Brilliant. Never heard of the League of Gentlemen film but with characters called Hyde and Mycroft it offers up so many crossovers and all fits the theme beautifully (4 years, 7 months ago)

Seasalter @ #26585: Very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ed @ #26592: Not unique you can swap roth and rice proth is a maths term (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26592: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26592: good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26591: I absolutely loved this one- interesting and engaging but not hard- had over a minute left- Fantastic idea, wish i'd thought of it- but then I wouldn't have been able to play it! Definitely my favourite for a while- 6 honorary stars, 5 actual ones. Cap doffed :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26590: All very much up my street- haven't seen Jekyll- I'll look out for it now! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26584: Loved this. Surprisingly hard considering you provide virtually all the letters. Took me 2 attempts as I thought the dress is spelled moo-moo. Aadvark is missing an R but it's obvious enough what it is. Goo work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26519: Good wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bluto @ #26586: I’ve never seen ‘whinge’ spelt without an ‘h’... (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26586: Brilliant. Although I stupidly thought the chocolate bar was spelled Whisper which held me up (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26533: Got all theses with 14 seconds to spare. Good one to start the morning (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26588: Maybe not unique,but different! enjoyed this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

birdbrain @ #26590: fab :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26586: Great! (though I failed. I worked out most of the terms, but was on the wrong track with the groups!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26469: Female group v obscure - thought they were British comedians. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26470: Enjoyed this - not too hard when you suss the pattern ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

SuperOreo @ #26589: Very nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26588: very nicely done- although cluedo gets used a lot you put a unique spin on it :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Noob @ #12698: Game over if in check = king? what? how does that work? Freddy? Do you mean Freddie? Does anyone check (haha see what I did there) these? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26586: Really good. Cleverly constructed and fun to do. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #26581: My head hurts (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26588: Really good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #26560: Like the idea...could decipher with my 'O' level chemistry, but never heard of some of the TV shows so struggled to put into categories. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #379: Nice;0) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26584: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26576: Agree, should be an option to edit grids (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26587: Yeah that group not the best (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26584: Yeah, sorry- hopefully once you get the gist it clicks? yours were good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26587: I enjoyed that- crossings stood out a wee bit but the other three were very amusing, very nicely put together :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26584: Always have trouble getting my head round these (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25814: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26246: Carn? Popper? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26553: A real eureka moment when I got the manly group. Well crafted grid:) (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #683: Very good, even if so only got the circle group as trouble finding the Loonie coin! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26585: Great grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #25398: I'm a film need so could get it, but must be very difficult if you don't have such a strong knowledge (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26582: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26581: 🤣 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Steve Wett @ #26577: Good grid but the 'take' grid could also all be followed by 'off' (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26582: Brilliant and novel- relax Lee made me laugh. Great work :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26580: Again, lovely- again, I failed! Saw what you were doing, didn't know enough. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26581: you feeling a bit worse for wear Jahn?!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26577: backwards group was clever and fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26576: It's so frustrating that we can't edit! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26575: Kale is cruciferous- good idea for a grid though (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26571: I failed miserably- always thrown by names and celebs- and spent the reveal saying- oh that's clever 4 times in a row! Brilliant work, as ever. The most innovative setter. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26574: Arguably any of the veg could swap into the soup category in place of potato making it non unique I'm afraid- sorry :( shame cos you had some good ideas here (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26580: Now I want to go and listen to Sky at Night. Great Grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26473: If you put "cani" into answer box it would cover canis, canids, canidae, as well as canine and canines. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26469: Yah, I don't know too many of these people, sorry. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26577: Lovely. Good mix of clues (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26580: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

fgeva @ #26548: Nice, but I'd like to point out that the unit named after Ampère is the ampere, not the "amp" (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26560: Neat idea. Enjoyed this, thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #26575: Thought brassica should have been accepted (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #5752: Liked it. Didn't get the 'sis' one. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26569: Agree with cat video, pretty tenuous. Sex kitten OK though (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26576: I liked it. Spent most of my time trying to shoehorn Silverfish into the solution, though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26574: Q: "Whilst you're at the shop, could you pick up a tin of cream of potato soup?" A: "No. We're in the UK, so nobody's heard of it." (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26570: Nice grid, but agree with Donuts. Accommodation would be a helpful addition to valid answers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26569: Cat video???????? (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26560: Great. Very different, and able to be deciphered by a non-scientist. (4 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #26576: IGNORE THIS GRID: I made an error and there is no unique solution. Sorry!!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #22486: Catherine and Catherine in same group, just seems a bit silly (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #22486: Don't like the doubles, (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26571: Apologies for the Woolf/Wolfe misspelling. I knew I should be more afraid of her! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stu @ #26569: Cat Video???? Sex kitten???? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26533: Good stuff! (4 years, 7 months ago)

poto9 @ #583: fun!!!!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

poto9 @ #10577: It was satisfying to get them all right. very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #59: Didn't get one definition, Otherwise a great grid and fairly simple for Brits. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stylos @ #26487: Enjoyable grid. We must have just happened to be tuned in to this one as we found it easier than lots of other grids ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #26569: Cat Video ??????????????, surely you can have a video of anything (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #33: Loved it - probably because it was simple! Full marks and 2.12 left on the clock. Helps to be British! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #26571: saw the links but couldn't work them out in time, , fun grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #3: The solvent one is a mystery to me! One for the scientists I think...not familiar with the others in that group apart from bear... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #44: wouldn't accept anagram - weird but otherwise a decent puzzle. Not sure why almost top of the best of the best list but hey! (4 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #26571: I didn't get the connections within the time, but somehow managed to solve the grid using key words, like Tennessee . Pollack and Williams. A mind bending grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #26560: Excellent and innovative (4 years, 7 months ago)

Helen @ #26571: Wolfe should be spelt Woolf. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26571: Superb! Tricky as I didn’t know everyone, but extremely well crafted gridding. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Debbie Does Not Dallas @ #26538: great grid! a joy to complete (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bruce Bogtrotter @ #26538: I do love a good trug of my wick...er (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bruce Bogtrotter @ #8441: Please ignore my last comment, it should have read jnvpiqu--=--==-00=sendhelp345813489. Thank you (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26525: I've just noticed that you're American, Austen so that explains it to us struggling Brits! I should have looked at the flag, it always helps to solve grids with homophones and cultural refs. All part of the challenge- bring it on! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26525: OOOOOooh, stocks! of course! thanks for solving that one, I did wonder. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26544: that's why it was a great red herring (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26570: couple of good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26569: Not sure what Nick means- as far as I saw they were all prefixes- this made it a bit samey but I did enjoy it- would have liked some crossovers though as it was a bit easy- nice group choices and fun spotting the links- overall a good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26567: Great work Jahn loved the hidden words- found it easy but probably because I love Christie, fruit and moaning about the weather! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26566: I didn't spot bop- it but got the group as they're all verbs. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26564: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26560: I loved this one- good level of challenge and a novel way to use chemical symbols. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Donuts @ #26570: Pretty straightforward one this, still enjoyable. The "dwellings" one, could you add accomodation (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26567: *don't (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26567: VJ the 'last' group very much depends on which order you solved them. I do t particularly like the weather group, just because 3 of the words start with connection and 1 of them ends with it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #26567: Loved the last group, such a seemingly random collection. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26525: By adopting a very peculiar accent I can just about mangle ‘stalks’ into ‘stocks’...but it’s a long stretch! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #26544: The Chevy logo looks nothing like a bow tie, I know, but that’s what it’s constantly referred to as. (4 years, 7 months ago)

pedant @ #26545: as the grid shuffled itself I was presented with a row which read: AYE CAN DO DIK I never really recovered after that (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26545: Nice one! I thought a cara cara was an orange, though. Maybe I just imagined that? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #26566: I felt the categories were too subjective - didn't make much sense to me.. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #26542: clever and difficult - very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #6140: Not easy, for me anyway, but very good. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #2748: Satisfying and well thought out (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #26569: Some excellent ideas but confusing due to mixing first syllables of one word with words that come before another word - categorical error? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #26538: looked difficult at first but was very satisfying. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26531: fun! I tried to make 'hove' work, but then I realised :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26569: good one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #16046: Buckbeak the Hippogriff is in Prisoner of Azkaban, Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #8793: I put drinks in words for a group but not right - puzzled. Otherwise done very quickly and easily. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #22185: Not sure this is really a medium - had 2.34 left on the clock and there didn't seem to be any real challenge. Good clear subjects and enjoyed it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #12138: Got all solutions but couldn't get the right fit fast enough so only got the 4 for the answers. The category with Navy - didn't know that connection but realised cos of the other three - you learn something new here! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #12924: not heard of red in this context but still got it all correct with a minute remaining. Well done for setting this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #15868: Great grid . 1.54 left and 10/10. Some astute ideas for crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #1818: Another huge success. 2.17 left on the clock and 10/10 some nice themes too. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #98: Loved it. Well thought through with delicious red herrings but still pulled off 10/10 in 1.39. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26548: Not bad - didn't get the Watt group however. (4 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #26537: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #16046: Hippogriff was never in Harry Potter (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26560: brilliant concept (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26543: great! the bible one can't be that much of a stretch i got that pretty easily (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26561: simple, elegant cleverness. great work (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #12138: if you click on the box with the question mark just after the group it should reveal the answers- if it doesn't try again after scoring the grid or after clicking where it says "click here if you need to check the answers" I hope that is helpful :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Georgie A @ #3456: I typed “planets” too but clearly not one called Vulcan - at least not in this solar system.! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Georgie A @ #12138: What’s the gris naranja verde connection? I tried cape and it said “incorrect” (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26560: Very nice! (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26548: Intelligent, enjoyable grid ( no celebs or Harry Potter ) well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26537: Nice one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26538: Great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26530: Nice grid stumped on Spanish (4 years, 7 months ago)

Shakers Demons @ #26539: Dross. That is all. (4 years, 7 months ago)

hmm @ #26502: never heard of mike white. (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26541: Very enjoyable, but Silver isn't rendered as an anagram on the grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26545: Ingenious Once I got the concept, it exposed some gaps in my knowledge (not unusual!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26548: Great grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tim @ #26473: How is "dog" not canine? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26541: Dr Spock was not fictional. Mr Spock was. Dr Spock was a real person. Silver isn't really an anagram of silver. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26548: Really great grid- also first time I have had all the correct solutions and they have all worked when typed in! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26545: Works well as for some of the words if you dont know you can sort of work out based on the sound of the word which category it goes with. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26548: Got to love Aetees! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26544: There is a Golden Lion Film Award, but that’s quite niche. (4 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #26446: not flavours for the first? (4 years, 7 months ago)

shrek @ #22433: Well hello there (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #26544: gave me a correct for Prince songs - not right and agree with the Chevvy logo comment below... (4 years, 7 months ago)

dmk1965 @ #26536: 26th Team to win the FA CUP !!! You are either from Bolton or you had to look that up !!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26487: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tim @ #26541: Caesium not cesium (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26486: Charley horse, not dog. It was new to me also - easily Googled. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26532: Keen there, done that :-) I don't think you can plan a grid (I certainly can't)... sometimes it's a case of beeping the idea on ice until you're happy with it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26544: Tough but fair... didn't know the bow tie one, unsurprisingly as it looks nothing like a bow tie (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26545: What the.... and then you get it, and you're done :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #26545: 7 out of 10 ???????? amazed, god knows how (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26542: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26541: Nice grids. Liked the Spock and McCoy misdirection. missed the anagrams - though hampered by caesium spelling in UK (4 years, 7 months ago)

mcbcv @ #9867: Way too easy - more red herrings needed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26539: Great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26542: Ooh, I didn't get the bird group. Great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26525: Yeah- I didn't get that but I thought I was being thick- what's it a reference to please? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26532: I have to say you're right- I'll admit I was struggling by that point to find appropriate words that could start with b- grammatically similar was the best I could do, having painted myself into that corner- I rarely plan these things properly- they just grow! Always grateful for feedback :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26539: Thank you all- really kind comments. They really are appreciated! :) x (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26544: Soooooooooo clever! I got lost and I feel old! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26543: Loved the tapas group, probably because I love tapas! (4 years, 7 months ago)

First Gopher @ #26541: Agree with Lorna (4 years, 7 months ago)

First Gopher @ #26542: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

First Gopher @ #26543: Enjoyed this... what a 'horn section'!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26543: "Things mentioned in bible stories" = a stretch (4 years, 7 months ago)

Marakenny @ #26529: Loved this wall and would agree with Lorna that it's pitched just about right. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26541: Easy, but enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

aphis99 @ #26521: When will I see you again? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #15026: Good fun;0) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #2959: Good fun;0) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26465: Hi, three connections were v. satisfying, IMO the £ slang should be avoided. A connection of words that have NOT been used as this might be better! Again, only my 2c. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #10608: Thought it was egg for the pot group (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26463: Enjoyed the grid, thanks. Are those really CC's ships though? Really? Perhaps ships he served/sailed on? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26458: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26455: That WW reference is double obscure! Good puzzle overall. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tomtit @ #873: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Léjo @ #77: Cocktails not accepted? (4 years, 7 months ago)

JOSEF @ #26539: Really original. Good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #696: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Georgie A @ #683: Still flummoxed by hem, elope etc (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26525: I’m struggling with Stalks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26541: What appears as 'silver' in the grid is according to the solutions meant to be in the gird as 'sliver' and as below Spock is very much 'Mr' in star treck, though McCoy is a doctor in the series. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26530: Yeah still annoyed as could have picked any state (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26539: I’m sure you’re right - and if not, who cares?! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26535: Good grid. Lots of PMs! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26538: Very nice simple fun grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26536: Excellent - really great grid. Didn’t see the numerical group, but very impressed by the solution! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26538: Good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26532: Inspired format again. I saw the method, but I couldn't solve it. "Been" group was perhaps a bit too vague... (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26539: something to do with morphemes, or something (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26537: Really good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26539: I was careful to call them Spoonerisms not initial swaps so I think I got away with it? Cos I had Badge Doll too! :) thanks for the generous score! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26541: great crossovers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26538: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26541: very good but I think Spock with no doctor fictional, Dr Benjamin Spock a real person-American paediatrician. Didn't interfere with play though, as still a doctor so I got the group, still enjoyable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26539: Superb!! 5 stars (Maybe a tiny technical niggle on Lin Boom, but not really a problem). (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26540: likewise. lovely idea (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #26539: Wonderful, Lorna! You are very creative with these grids, and they're not impossible to solve - just needs a shift in thinking from the usual type of grid. Really enjoyed this one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26540: Great concept. Couldn’t make it work due to a lack of knowledge. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26373: Lorna - huh??? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #1942: Hi Georgie A- I saw your question- they can all start with New- if you click on the box with the question mark just after the group it should reveal the answers- if it doesn't try again after scoring the grid or after clicking where it says "click here if you need to check the answers" I hope that is helpful :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26530: 26511? wouldn't worry too much- we've all done non unique grids at one point- it was otherwise very well done, and you are a consistently good setter. It's an easy mistake which tends to happen to better setters who are good at putting in red herrings and crossing the groups over- sometimes it comes back and bites you on the bum! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lilac @ #26467: Loved this one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Georgie A @ #1942: Still can’t fathom York, Jersey, Mexico and Hampshire 😕 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26532: Ooooh- the travel agent? Forgot about that! Very fitting reference though! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Georgie A @ #204: Ignore the negatives - this is a good one 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26538: Nice use of the word trug (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26537: Clever- thrown by the sports. Good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26536: the full group had quite a specific answer for quite broad terms but I loved the numerical group, that was genius. Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26535: very good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lilac @ #26533: Very enjoyable! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26537: Really fun grid. Simply didn't know one of the connecting groups but had fun deducing the other three! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26529: Loved this, thank you. For me, better than the walls on tonight’s show! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26530: Thanks both, needed a comeback after my last one :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26533: A nice easy one but good fun and good range of groups! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25999: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26402: blue group wouldnt accept horn????? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26529: Very good. I’m now in the mood to watch tonight’s episode! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26532: Very good. Inspired by a Monty Python sketch by any chance? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26533: Nice one - cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26530: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #11211: Daisy Duke bit of a stretch (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26531: Thanks- I've just spotted my mistake in "have wards"- I hope it doesn't interfere too much for anyone, sorry! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26530: Clever, interesting, well constructed :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26528: great grid- really mixed references, quite challenging! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26529: Just right! A really great grid- so satisfying to spot the answers, very well executed. I enjoyed this immensely, thank you :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Q @ #26527: Loved it. Not crazy difficult, but clever. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26531: Great grid. Not too difficult, but fun to do. I particularly enjoyed Ballack (once I stopped looking for other German midfielders). (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lilac @ #26419: Good work but didn’t accept the spelling “Jonny” (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26519: OK wall - but it might have liked 'films' (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26511: I suppose you could call a woman anything -Exa,Nois or Oh for example - a difficult area to cover - rest was OK (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26524: I think you made the right decision. I like grids where once you twig you get it right away, but you need that moment. Unfortunately for me I didn't get that today but I must stress that I do love your grids- always original and fun and it's so nice to have something different to solve! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26521: Good easy fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26527: Very clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26515: Coasteer- verb- to work your way along the coast by any means necessary; the sport of climbing and swimming around a rocky part of a coast. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26500: It's OK being easy but try to include some crossovers to make it less boring (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26524: * "little pond" (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26524: It's tough to gauge the difficulty level. I originally had the last 2 words for each saying but when I looked at it, it seemed too easy with "your pants" and "big pond" giving the whole game away (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #6: I loved (but didn't get) ghoti. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26526: Beautifully tied in. Missed it with the clues right there- kicking myself (I'm playing the tiredness card as an excuse!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26527: I do enjoy these ones, it's such a lovely device, simple but a lot of fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26524: Really hard but a great idea and very original (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26523: All out of my frame of reference I'm afraid, but I can tell by the reveals that the groups were well chosen with good relatability, and not overly difficult if you're into this stuff. Good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26527: Nicely done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26522: Lovely! Made me smile (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26520: Thanks for your feedback, I didn't think this would be to everyone's taste. It would be great if an actual mathematician came across this on (I am not one). "299,792,458 m/s =", so "speed of light =" or "c =", the = sign makes it distinct from Head of MI6, which is just "c" so making the solution is unique. All the solutions are valid formulas with the right number and position of operators if you write them out. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26524: Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26513: Alternate connection for Brown, Cameron, May etc. Famous Jameses. (4 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #26515: Coasteer? So made up words count now? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Austen @ #26367: Yeah... I realize now how "nerdy" the grid is. 😂 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26520: Disapointing because they are not really 'connections'. Even if you get the cryptics you'd be trying to connect the 'Cs' for example (also as there are two clues for 'C' there is no unique solution). (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #26498: Well what can say? 10/10 n no tme at all and not through skll... through downrght luck - how else can you PROPERLY answer two groups with the same damn answer? Always yours, Sr Dgby Chcken (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #24141: Very good wall, enjoyed it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #12440: So much better than Lorna's efforts (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #25921: Far better than Lorna's grids (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26522: The "Y" group is so clever (and they know it)! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26520: Very very unique which I applaud- way too hard for me to decode the cryptics as well as recognise all of the formulae- valiant effort (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26521: fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26516: brilliant! Particularly ark. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26522: Good. Tricky. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26508: I chose the containers group as it provided 3 red herrings for the other groups. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26515: Kemal- yes, thanks, it was a typo; a- you add an e not an s the word it makes is "coasteer"; dmk1965 you are told to capitalise entries when you submit a grid- leaving them lower case would have made the group stand out. Most prefix based groups use the same device as this so not sure what the problem is? Jahn, thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26519: Fine wall, but I have an aversion to the band. Just can't bear to listen to them. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26518: Fun and interesting. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tarek @ #26521: Hello (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26516: Tough, but fair. Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26508: Very clever, in fact way too clever for me. I failed miserably. (4 years, 7 months ago)

dmk1965 @ #26515: Very obscure...poor use of capitalisation on the Inter category (4 years, 7 months ago)

dmk1965 @ #26516: Questionable Ark Category but a good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Diggory @ #24141: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Diggory @ #24148: Good (but Harry Potter groups are a bit too common!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

art @ #26521: good work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Diggory @ #24143: Good general grid, (4 years, 7 months ago)

ian @ #26482: Nice grid, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

ian @ #26485: Great grid with good groups (4 years, 7 months ago)

PollySJB @ #26516: Loved this! Especially carp - took me a while! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Diggory @ #24155: Good grid- well thought out. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #9828: Tennis reference too vague (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #9832: Thanks. Red herrings galore. (4 years, 7 months ago)

edi @ #25643: This was very bad (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26335: Hmmm - very hard unless you see the singular theme - I was thinking duo / trio / single artist; indie / soul / disco; etc - quite fiendishly misleading ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26446: Nice one. Didn’t get the Wilsons. (4 years, 7 months ago)

birdbrain @ #26508: containers. disappointing (4 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #26445: Basic error in the Hitchhikers guide answers, and girls group extremely vague i'm afraid (4 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #26515: where do you add an "s" to coaster, to make a new word? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26519: Fun wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26520: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26520: Unless you do maths, don’t bother (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #26512: I did not like it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26521: Easy peasy (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26451: Grid was quite good, it is good courtesy to explain the connections. Especially anagrams. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26448: 😁 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26446: Nice, couldn't see it 😢 (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26508: nice! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26521: fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26339: Connections were easier than the groups - good grid ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #26516: Carp !!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26516: Love it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26502: Decent grid, though I also agree with the comments below as I didn’t get that group either (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26516: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26518: Class. Cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26515: Nearly got that one - I even considered the solution to the last group but rejected it because I’d not heard of the ‘coast’ answer: and now I’ve learned something! Thank you - an enjoyable grid (I can’t spell in French 😀) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26499: Music notation. Bass clef, treble clef etc? Seems ok to me (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26502: I think the level of difficulty in getting the white group isnt on the same plane as the difficulty level for the other groups. Some very obsure people in that group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26513: Got all groups but no idea about the Hayes collection - never heard of them! Decent grid however (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #2512: Ha ha! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26250: Three of the groups have questionable links. Having small capitals is hardly an easy thing to guess and the languages being "ish" again is quite a leap. This is very challenging and open to interpretation. I did like the panama group however - I didn't guess it but it works well. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26520: Not too formulaic I hope (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26512: A couple of group answers make little sense. The school items in two categories are not sufficiently specific - such as door and window! I'd suggest using things like desk, blackboard and such terms in french. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #1942: Super easy and very entertaining. Thank you (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #15242: Tamale? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #48: Anagrams not sufficient for some reason. But finished in a minute so shall take the points anyway!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ginge @ #26502: Are the Whites your neighbours? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #4720: Got stumped on the group with Spring (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #10172: Liked the hemisphere group - clever concept (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #4582: Ran out of time but knew the groups! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #2296: given the answer then the words should be "the curtains" and "a sword" but otherwise a good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #184: A good one. A few combinations but managed to crack it in time. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #2297: Loved this one. Got it with 8 secs to spare (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #9875: Very easy - enjoyed it accordingly. Smug. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #8403: Missed out on reason for last four (4 years, 7 months ago)

Kemal @ #26515: I am French and viande is spelt with an a not an e but well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #23073: first group wouldnt take "dog breeds"???????? (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26144: wouldnt take "make good" for first group? (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26449: "ponies" not accepted??!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26515: sorry- typo! My internet was being painfully slow when I wrote this one so I hit submit before amendments and a proper edit as I just wanted it done- I don't think it's my best work, I'd have put in better crossovers if I'd been able to spend longer on it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26498: I would have had to type everything out in full into a tiny box- but as the name includes eye you should have got the point! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Christobal @ #26494: Yep, Cranmer is spelt wrong in the grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Christobal @ #26508: Niceone, Lorna! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25778: So sorry Adel- what did you put? I tend to put single words in the accepted terms which means that as many answers as possible are accepted- it accepts true, fact, animal, link, - can't remember what else as it was a while ago! (4 years, 7 months ago)

franc @ #26515: viande (4 years, 7 months ago)

Christobal @ #26499: Very easy. Not sure about the validity of the "sharp" group though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26498: Shouldn't it accept the name of the group as an answer (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adel @ #25778: Loved the grid but none of my links were accepted. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Alex @ #26445: NOT HHGTTG! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Alex @ #26445: Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul is a Dirk Gently novel?? (4 years, 7 months ago)

F @ #25778: I loved this grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #1396: not come across full as a prefix for bed before but hey, all good for learning! (4 years, 7 months ago)

kohnnie @ #10711: One of the best grids - really enjoyed the ABCD set up (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #6140: My quickest so far -very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #583: flummoxed over a couple but knew all reasons (4 years, 7 months ago)

kohnnie @ #2296: N ice grid although a little lacking in red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #10577: Good red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

kohnnie @ #12552: Nice grid - liked the homophones (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26485: Good one - all makes sense (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #26486: Charley dog? Not heard of (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26513: Good variety of knowledge needed. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26508: Oh of course - Dalmatian PUPPIES!! Beat me hands down :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26507: Tough one. Thanks for submitting! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26504: Bowiewhist, yes, go on and take the points. Yeah, I think I maybe should have put USA. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26504: Beaten by my poor geography! Only got one group. All fair knowledge though, a good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

robert craig @ #26513: clever very clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26511: IDAho? Interchangeable? :( sorry! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mag @ #18986: Petedub - ME and WENDY - grammar please! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Massivenapa @ #24764: My guess of sitcoms was wrong because you’d put the answer as comedy shows. Grrrr! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26449: Really positive experience but correct answer using a plural not accepted - sorry if that isn't viewed as constructive. Others have commented on the same thing I notice! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26465: I note I am not to comment about missing points - obviating the need for a comment box. Was enjoying it until then! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26467: Loved this - really well thought out. Love homophones (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26504: It is irksome when you get a correct reason (I put sites in the USA and it wants North America (and yet there isn't anywhere from Canada) - Vic would allow my answer! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26508: Nice one. Good red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26498: Very kind thank you very much x (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26499: Nice straightforward one! Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26498: Very clever. I missed 10/10 because I was looking at the wordplay and missed the obvious connection for the Steel Span group. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26496: Very clever. Never heard of pay dirt so I learnt something! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26494: Only knew Fender in that group, a testing grid but all fair :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26493: Great grid! I had to work out the answers with Puzzgrid tactics rather than know them all. Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26486: Good gridding, well balanced ratio of difficulty and fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26492: Good grid! thanks for submitting :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26491: Understood the general idea, but didn't solve it. Great grid once again lorna . shame about the glitch. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26488: Some great red herrings! Different, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26498: Excellent Gridding, annoyed with myself- I took too long to work out the groups once I had figured the theme. Exactly the sort of mind stretching I enjoy. Very well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26503: Very clever, well thought out grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26503: I normally can't go for the all first name grids, but this one had enough distinct people to work. Having said that, I did still fail miserably- but that says more about me! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26507: I really should learn the state capitals- I'd do a lot better on this site!!! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26504: Nice, straightforward and quizzy- the only thing that threw me was thinking there may be a deeper connection than landmarks, I was overthinking it- but a good test of the old geography! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26498: Not sure what you mean, Mistymoo- are you basing that on the answers that you entered? Accepted terms had crossovers, as you must concede was necessary. I tend to be generous there- one word will often do to get a point. The groups were distinct. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26503: Really great group. If you’ll forgive my pedantry, there is a difference between head of state and head of government (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26504: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26494: Bugger - just spotted it. Cheers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26504: Sorry if this one's a bit hit and miss. May require some educated guesses. (4 years, 7 months ago)

plainplane @ #13569: Really fun. I spotted the plane manufacturers straight away! (4 years, 7 months ago)

plainplane @ #26499: A nice and easy grid to solve (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adel @ #25999: Didn't know golden egg also meant zero! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26471: Shame not to get correct on holiday sites for the first one - getting the wording correct is tricky. (4 years, 7 months ago)

jms @ #26498: Good one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adel @ #26004: Protestant Church not Catholic ?? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bowiewhist @ #26500: My first and a great one to start (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #26498: Love this one! Great fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26503: great grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26498: Surely having two groups with the same answer isn’t allowed? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Danielle @ #26496: I like it! Good work :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

T @ #26438: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26494: Tricky, but well thought out. One tiny spelling error, but it didn't detract. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26482: Easy, but good fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

sid Kneebridge @ #26496: Novel and very well constructed. Well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26498: Haha Sade tricked me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26441: Two of the sleepings are unknown to me. Maybe giving an actual explanation would help. Pie doesn't work very well with me either I'm afraid, but that's just me. The explanations you really should include. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26477: Shame about one one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26438: Top notch board, really enjoyed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26488: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26397: I said South also. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26492: Excellent for a first grid! I would echo the comments Lorna said below. Trey was new to me (nice to learn something). It’s fine to include them, but the American football thing has been done a lot on here - almost as much as Cluedo! Keep it up 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26496: Really well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26498: Ingenious (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26488: Cool thanks bloss! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sue @ #26446: I have never heard of 3 of the Wilsons (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26497: clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26496: good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26430: fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26433: clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26488: Answers only came up if you entered an answer. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26491: thanks- can't seem to fix it. people should be able to work it out and I'll have to cope with no scoring! Or just leave it in the comments. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26492: good grid- had crossovers and unique solution as far as I could tell- I struggled, as usual, with first names- I can rarely make the leap to the associated surname- one thing is I think NFL has been done to death but Trey was novel and threw me- very good. On the whole, great, a brilliant first effort and well done for giving it a go yourself! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26486: That was a joke not a criticism! I thought it was a good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26492: Good. Cover was the least pleasing clue. But I enjoyed it (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26488: Enjoyed that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

QuizGav @ #26492: This is my first grid.. would love some feedback! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26491: Yep. All the other reveals worked (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26488: Failed on line one. Human League (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26491: My computer seems to hate The Human League! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26491: Apologies- there's a glitch on the answer reveal- feedback on this welcome please (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26488: Seems to be a glitch on this- please can you let me know if the answers come up for you? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26484: Genius. How do you do it (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26484: Full house this time, keep 'em coming. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26486: I couldn't quite get them in line (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26487: Yep, good but difficult! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26454: really good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26454: I think all the lines make sense (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26487: Very quizzy, quite difficult, very well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Debbie Does Not Dallas @ #26342: haha loved the rhino group (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky @ #683: Missed the (w)hole point of this one, but quite enjoyed it once the resolved wall shed light on it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26485: Very nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26483: Love this! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky @ #685: Corn is really dodgy in this one. All the others are separate words. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26454: Depends on the order you solved it in. What were the clues? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26483: Ingenious (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26469: tricky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26480: fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26483: Kismet! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26483: I got interrupted when I was doing this, so I started it again - and some of them were in order! Which helped a lot :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #26454: Does the last line make sense? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26472: Great grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26480: Really good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26481: Very pleasing - cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25213: I’m with Lorna on this one: yes it’s an easy grid, but I still really enjoyed it. It is nice to see something different. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26478: Thanks Goneril- I love that you're always up for a proper game, the more fiendish the better! I do some easier ones sometimes for the sake of variety; some formats lend themselves to different levels of challenge. Thanks as always for your comment x (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26481: nice work good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26478: fIEndish. Good grief. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26478: Feindish--not finish. Sorry. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26478: I like where this is going, but I don't think it's quite finish *enough.* I saw the two sets with 'pie' right away, and just banged on squares until I hit the right combo for one of the two lines. Thing is, once I had that set I also had its other half -- and then although the other two were nothing I had any knowledge of, I was able to spot the four first names immediately, and (ha) Tit's your uncle. In other words: cracking one group gave the other three right away, which made it less fun. Still, very clever. Please try more in this vein! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26480: Choose any number of positive adjectives! Very clever idea and well executed :) You'll always attract flak with homophones- alternative is to never attempt it, which would be a shame. Let's hope people can relax and enjoy ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26480: Why flak for Fife, asks an American ignorant of the specifics here. Or is it more a concern about pronunciation than geography? Either way I think it's fine! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26472: Ooh, you're my new favorite! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26465: Thank you for this lovely grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26471: Nice and easy although I lost points on my spelling of the kayak group (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26478: Good ideas - I know its difficult to differentiate the 4 groups sometimes.Some of mine (under a different name) that have been 'different' have had mixed reviews although you always applaud something new - so carry on regardless. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #26480: I already know I'm gonna get flak for the Fife stint... (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25213: Ah, thanks Gridlington! be prepared to get backlash for being different- but we can enjoy setting and playing these- as well as those few people who can enjoy something a bit novel. Really looking forward to your next one of these, it's a great format! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26465: Good starter for 10 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26479: Good work! Though brace yourself for the angry City fans... (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26478: Sometimes I invent new formats, Massivenapa- this was an idea based on giving clues to the grid on the grid, as I do sometimes add an easier one. It's a bit short sighted to call it "not proper"?- just different. God help us if everything was exactly the same, all the time. I personally would be bored to tears. It had crossovers, it had 4 groups- you only needed to do half the work- not as fiendish as most of mine (the usual complaint). no pleasing some people! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26468: Oops! Thanks Hal Jam. Once again wish we could edit small errors (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26467: Great grid - really enjoyed that. 5 stars (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26473: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #26468: Mats not Max (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26471: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26475: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26478: Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

Massivenapa @ #26478: This isn’t a proper grid of 4 connections, it’s 2 sets of connections with 8 words that need pairing up. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Massivenapa @ #26478: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Massivenapa @ #26478: This isn’t a proper grid of 4 connections, it’s 2 sets of connections with 8 words that need pairing up. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #26467: Very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Wordie @ #26451: Thank you for a good puzzle (4 years, 7 months ago)

Massivenapa @ #26477: Was fooled by Notorious into looking for Duran Duran songs, but they weren't there! Good links and quite difficult with some cheeky red herrings. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26467: brilliant! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jake @ #26430: There's no song with 'I will be your hero' it's "I can" throughout the song (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gridlington @ #25213: Nick, I fully understand how it works - that's why I tried something different and made it easy. Lorna, it was some of your grids that gave me the idea to step outside the "normal" box. (Although I concede that this type of grid is too easy!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Biff @ #26440: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26472: Another really good grid. Very good use different types of connecting groups and very good use of red herrings. (4 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #26466: Good grid. I shoulda got the Diamond one, but I didn't! (4 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #26467: Good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Biff @ #26458: Agree with Floreat (4 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #26468: Good grid. Liked the sleigh bells group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26442: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26456: What is pink noise? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Becky @ #6833: Word relative needs to be added to family members connection (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26467: great! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26465: Good classic style grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26464: Normally not a fan of niche groups (though in this case huge fan of the show so first group I got) but having 'ted' and 'vice' in other groups was a really clever way of making it accessible. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26463: Really good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26466: Well constructed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26466: Good quality grid ( no celebs, Beckham's, or Harry Potter ) ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26465: Very impressive first attempt! (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26451: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samschoolst @ #26465: Yes, thanks for trying it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samschoolst @ #26466: Thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Maggie @ #26458: 10/10 and very satisfying! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26466: Good one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26464: Not sure if anyone knows "King of the Road" either but it was fun to include that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anomynous @ #26446: Doh!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26464: sorry bloss- I left Ted and vice as clues- did it interfere too much not seeing it? Or did you get the others? I did want to squeeze "lent" in as a clue but "nolent" was too obscure! (Latin). (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jack @ #26454: Really good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26464: *don't watch the show (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26464: It was funny the way you got Ted in - though I watch the show. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26464: Always enjoy a trip to Craggy Island! 😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26465: Hi very good, is this your first grid? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26463: nice! I have to admit a lot of me solving this was pure luck! Good groups :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26464: Sorry if one group is a bit niche- you've either seen it or you haven't. Hopefully the false group is a clue to a real group- No Best of luck (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26463: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26456: I know the bookbag reference, but I still didn't get it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Geraint @ #26458: Da iawn (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26141: Excellent! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26435: tricky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26442: Altlantic..great grid tho'. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nz @ #26447: :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26460: You said it yourself in the comment below- one for fans of the show! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26458: Seems like a pretty classic grid to me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Reg @ #26124: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26457: Please don’t be put off. I was very nervous submitting at first, and made some right howlers, but if you keep going it gets addictive! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26460: One for fans of the show. If you are one, it’ll probably be easy. If you’re not, please forgive the indulgence. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26451: Very nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26453: Anorak alert (4 years, 7 months ago)

sadia @ #13631: Clever grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #10577: Easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

steve @ #26449: lost 2 points, said 2nd was ponies, and last could also be air (4 years, 7 months ago)

Arbuthnot @ #583: Easy to complete the groups, not so easy to match the wording of the explanations!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26446: snap re Simply Red! (4 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #26457: Agree with Jahn! Spelling is important and you need to make sure the things within the groups are actually a part of the category. (4 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #26449: James; not surprised - you spelt it wrong! 😄 Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #26458: Good grid. Solved in 1.30. Just right! (4 years, 7 months ago)

christobal @ #26456: Very good, though I don't know West Wing at all. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26458: Cheers! Brought back memories of borrowing my mum’s old Talbot. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26457: Nice fairly easy grid. If I may offer some advice, do watch out for spelling errors (they do make it unnecessarily harder and will annoy some players). Also, while I know what you meant, your insect group only had two insects in it. Sorry, we tend to be a pedantic lot! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26426: Sorry about that- I'm no aficionado and got them from a list called "Indian breads". The grid would give points for Indian; food, Asian so hopefully not a problem! Thanks for your input, always good to learn :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26444: there is one with one as the leader- the Republicans! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Farty @ #26459: Okay when you realise Blair and Hitler are in different groups (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26456: *7* (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26456: Got caught up with the six potential pinks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26448: Well put together. Nice theme. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26456: Good work. Didn’t get the code name group: I thought I was a big West Wing fan, but that was quite the niche reference. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25269: Damn, that’s a very well crafted grid. 5 stars (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26453: 😀😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26439: Sick as a parrot 😉 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Donuts @ #26453: Loved this one, I didn't know the James Morrison one, off to read AA Milne (4 years, 7 months ago)

James @ #26449: Nice though wouldn't accept poines instead of pony... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26449: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26449: Very pleasant (4 years, 7 months ago)

Macsen @ #25269: My brother Cel helped me with this, he's really clever :D (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26445: Dirk was in the Long dark teatime of the soul (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26449: Royal! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26451: Enjoyable, but mixing this way got NASA into a lot of trouble (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26453: Good good grid grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26454: Correcting error made earlier (4 years, 7 months ago)

Glooey @ #26430: Really novel and fun board. Great job. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26446: Not too bad, more crossovers needed (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26446: Thought the last group was Simply Red albums (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mistymoo @ #26446: Good wall. Was sure last group was Simply Red albums x (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26449: Nicely done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26446: Good stuff, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rick Shaw @ #26439: Kicked myself I didn't solve it. Hit the post a few times, but paid the penalty for dropping my head. (4 years, 7 months ago)

SImon @ #26445: Dirk has nothing to do with Hitchhikers :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26446: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26444: Good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

david @ #26444: There should be a political party with a troll as it's logo (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26437: Tricky but very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26442: Damn! Never was much good at speling. Sorry for that mistake (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26438: Good one - cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26435: Same here! Excellently crafted grid - just beyond my powers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26441: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Richard Kirwan @ #26446: Very good - but I don't know one connection is it possible to find this out? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26433: Thanks for the lovely feedback! 😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26444: Really clever- Nazgul was a great red herring (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26444: Really good- though not sure Nazgul fits its category as well as the others. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26442: Really good grid, lots of different types of connections well used. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26441: Slightly thrown off by having never even head of the connection for 'Pastoral' but otherwise really good fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26441: Nice! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26435: Got all the connections pretty swiftly but so many red-herrings just like DanC never managed to find the groups in time. Really clever grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26442: Otherwise... good choice of individual words but I didnt spot the red herring until it was too late - and even if I did, I'd have tried it and then it's immediately discardable, because nothing else can go in the group. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26434: Feel cheated of my time with this grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26442: 'Piccolo' is spelled with two 'c's. Who knew? :-p (4 years, 7 months ago)

Kandykid @ #26426: Fun, thanks. Just one point...I’m of South Indian heritage and we would never call a dosa ‘bread’. A super-delicious pancake-y thing for stuffing would be more accurate, though less snappy :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26444: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26439: Phew fiendish indeed ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

art @ #26430: it's 'I can be your hero' (4 years, 7 months ago)

harry @ #22737: best one ive ever done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Konrad @ #26416: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Konrad @ #26425: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26440: The one with a hole! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26377: Not seeing it. No such thing as "Acid Milk" AFAIK. There needs to be a threshold of usage for collocations. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26440: short sleeve group was inspired- made me laugh! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #22433: Good. And well said omlette. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConcernedUser @ #26439: It's actually Lemina not Lemima. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26438: and love the name, BTW :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26419: Very well constructed, good work! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26401: Hmmm- there is a technique and a logic to it- I agree I don't like just guessing- I ALWAYS try to offer a first handhold per group. I agree this type can sometimes be frustrating if people don't do that. Trick is to seek out the unique, stand alone clues and overlook the obvious, in your face links. Should invite you to think a bit rather than guess. There were a hell of a lot of crossovers in this one but also some first threads. Thanks for your comment :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26438: Nice! Simple but effective :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26437: Really clever idea! Didn't quite get there- too many refs I didn't know, but I still loved it. You've done some really great, unique and novel grids, I'm enjoying them a lot :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26430: Superb stuff (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26436: Good one Bob! (4 years, 7 months ago)

jms @ #26433: I enjoyed this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26435: Brilliant. I could see the 4 groups but never managed to find the right solution which shows there were enough crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

bigmac @ #22737: Silence, troller. This was an excellent grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

omlette @ #22433: Wow, trollers. This is not garbage it was a very well made grid and I would definitely recommend it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #26401: I find grids that are all wordplay (particularly all prefix/suffix) with lots of crossovers end up being nothing more than a guessing game. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26406: Thought that Gay should be a solution, but a good, if easy grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26405: Very Jolly. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26370: Thanks Verr, I have noticed that you do leave well balanced (pos and neg) comments, and that when you are critical, it is always constructive. I hope that others with something a bit negative to say could be like that. Reading the comments page, as a setter, can become addictive! Sensible, but hard, to avoid it- it can inform future grids and peoples tastes- give a feel for the demographic- but sometimes we have to wade through people being abusive for their own entertainment (moreso others than Joe) but it is easy to dismiss those when you understand that they are just working on their own issues with the world- after all we are complete strangers to them- why so angry?- and as such we can just figuratively not make eye contact just as we would if someone were spouting filth at us in the street. Oh the wonders of the internet! Such a precious resource ;) Keep it up Keir, good lad, sorry to use your grid to soap box on again!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26426: thanks! Yes- I was cooking a tikka masala last night! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26339: thanks for the feedback ahay- some of mine have been too British for some American people who otherwise enjoy my grids, so I'm attempting to use some more universal references- I'm glad it worked for you- bit of a trick to that one but I agree I didn't think it was overly difficult- just a different way of looking at it? Enjoy :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26434: Kind of a nasty trick but I wouldn't call it pointless (unnecessarily mean comment). I love the idea of four whole false groups, great premise to begin from. Unfortunately I couldn't get a handle on this; looked at vowels, initials, logical links- but the reveal was fair if frustrating, and technically flawless. Well played (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26433: Stylish- you're really coming into your own with these- rapid rate of development! (hope that doesn't sound patronising- just seen a big recent change) loved the format, good mix and well executed. Right up my street, sir! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bearcules @ #26434: Wow, what a pointless grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26433: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26434: I describe this as fiendishly easy - what do you think? (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26430: Fabulous! Love it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26419: Something just so pleasing about this!thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26430: Brilliant! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26433: Ooh! Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26373: Hey! I don't think this one has a uniq... wait.... never mind. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26370: Maybe don't read the comments? I try to leave constructive comments, sometimes they are negative. Taking feedback well is much harder than giving it well. That being said, Joe needs to try a lot harder. I personally enjoyed the grid, and had no problems (not useful feedback either!)😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ya mum @ #25470: Ya mum (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26369: 😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26367: Thanks but not my cup of tea...pokemon harry potter and superheroes!!!😵 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26365: I think personally that the grouping is waaay too broad too make into anagrams. Could you not just find four viruses? Others may disagree. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26363: Monarchs? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26426: So good!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ahay @ #26339: The Saviour's Day category was the first one I found. Not as nasty as you think, I'd imagine. (I am American, though, so maybe that's why it jumped out at me.) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26355: Clever crossover craft, nice misdirection. Have to agree with ian a little too thou gh (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #26430: Nicely original premise for a grid, and the titles were chosen well. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26352: Difficult, but maybe not in a clever or particularly satisfying way? With word association connections, attempters get browned off if some in the group go before, some after. If you can put them all consistently one way, have an interesting connection and still be difficult, you'll be on a winner. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26430: I really like this format- this and DanC. Lots of fun, different and interesting. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26430: Good easy fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26416: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #26370: Trust me, Lorna, I try to ignore them. But having to put up with so much unwanted and unhelpful comments, it starts to grate on you. I don't expect people to have to like all my walls, but they can at least point out something they don't like? It's not like I can go back and edit it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Margo @ #26428: Too tricky for me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26426: Very well done, now I'm ravenous... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26421: Nice one, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz 2 @ #6060: Wouldn't allow Top Gun. Dates fixed me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26416: Good grid- not sure why prob with Geller? Fictional characters from TV- Jewish- fits? (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26421: Craigslist - Online Classified Advertisements, started in the U.S, now In 70 other countries. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26426: Hopefully it looked harder than it was? No need to know what some of them are- just a spotting things type of grid. Glad you liked it though! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26426: Very good - very very hard! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26373: It's hilarious that this one got so many comments- just proves that people don't actually read things through! ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26370: I'm slowly learning to ignore the dickheads, Keir. Spend your energy on your ideas! :) :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26422: Good classic multi discipline grid. Lots of fun red herrings. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26421: craigs list? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26419: Fun grid- hadnt heard of a few of the answers even when given the solutions so despite working out all the connections reasonably early on getting the groups was a challenge. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26417: Really fun grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #26370: Thank you for that well-thought out assessment, Joe. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26413: Tricky - well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26422: Tricky grid but really good. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26422: Nice one - cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26409: Too tough for me! Not that that’s saying much (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26419: Neat! 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26421: Oh, yeah, the Magic group (I didn’t even make the connection with Magic, let’s just say I did, and I’ll pretend I’m clever) (4 years, 7 months ago)

f @ #26402: please can u accept palindromes suits and transparent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Missy @ #26413: Niche (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26416: Let down by 'Geller'- not really a character otherwise great grid with great 'red herrings' (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26421: *circle not paper (4 years, 7 months ago)

Missy @ #26414: far too niche (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26419: really enjoyed this you're consistently good :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26413: Nice one, those books of the bible are so useful, so many crossovers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26421: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pangolin @ #26365: A good contemporary grid. I do hope coronavirus can be brought under control. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pangolin @ #26374: Top grid, got it in one minute, now off for a cheeky line! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pangolin @ #26383: Ever seen a walrus have a banana? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pangolin @ #26394: Didn't really enjoy this one, sorry guys. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Conor D @ #26388: put in end of book titles and didn't get it but other than that great quiz (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stu @ #26410: Lots of red herrings for groups (What, Where etc..) so 0 on groups, but got 4 out of 4 connections by just writing 'Questions' which seems a bit wrong to me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26419: Nice grid, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26421: Good grid, I fell for the dummy group of Magic with paper and lantern and the pluralisation of monkeys had me trying to make a 12 connection (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26397: Very nice, wouldn't south work as well? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26413: Challenging grid, got there with 4 seconds to go (4 years, 7 months ago)

MR @ #26402: card suits is the same as card symbols (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #26410: I got stuck thinking the connections was the question word in title like the previous grid, so well played you got me. 0 on groups but once solved I could see the connections so a fair grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26406: Bold! and cheeky with it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26417: Small error just spotted in the answers: should be Saint Joan not Joan of Arc . Apologies! Shouldn’t matter to the solution. (4 years, 7 months ago)

arnav @ #22433: terrible (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sir Digby Chicken @ #26409: Utter dross, I've scooped better turds out of the bog. MOVE ON (4 years, 7 months ago)

arnav @ #22433: edi is wrong this is garbage would not play again shut up edi (4 years, 7 months ago)

Not Another One! @ #26409: If you really want to show off, you should try using your brain rather than looking the answers up! (4 years, 7 months ago)

arnav @ #22737: this is terrible would not recommend (4 years, 7 months ago)

poto9 @ #3457: very enjoyable and satisfying to solve!!!" (4 years, 7 months ago)

poto9 @ #3456: yes very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

? @ #26409: A giraffe - what you're having. (4 years, 7 months ago)

poto9 @ #1: Yes very good. Fun to imagine that this is the first one ever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26413: Tricky grid! Well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26410: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26344: Sour hour and Nappy cream. These connections one solution do not make. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gaz @ #26406: Great to see Polari (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26284: v good quiz. The 70's groups didn't fool me nor did the fictitious prisons Ha! The Harry potter clues have been done to death so they were easy to spot. (4 years, 7 months ago)

:-) @ #26400: Great grid. I had Howard Jones instead of Haddaway. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26315: good quiz but I spent too much time finding the American states I ran out of time (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26406: Kenneth Williams would have called this ‘fantabulosa’... (4 years, 7 months ago)

dmk1965 @ #26401: Good grid although the bonnet group was a little obscure for me...not heard of the term War Bonnet and Graham was a rather obscure reference to a rock singer from the 80's who I was aware of but wasn't expecting to see references in here (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nb @ #26310: Some nice sets. Let down by the solution not being unique. Death and red can be swapped. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26400: Yesss! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #1498: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26406: Brilliant. A very satisfying grid, Kenneth Williams would be in his element! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26406: you're doing so well! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26406: Thank you Floreat! I really enjoyed putting this one together. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26400: right up my street a rare 5 * but not hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26406: Really enjoyed this one. Very well put together how some of the clues in other connecting groups helped inspire the right connections for other groups without giving them away too easily. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eleanor @ #26400: brilliant (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26400: Loved this grid - well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26178: Phew - hardest grid I've attempted. Groups pretty obscure. Should rate fiendish ? (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26400: Great Grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26181: Elegant grid ! Not hard once you suss the pattern, but enjoyable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26397: Very nice, enjoyed that (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26397: Really good use of crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26393: An interesting grid. Good range of conecting groups. (4 years, 7 months ago)

JoJo @ #26405: really fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26394: Couldnt see it for the trees I'm afraid... (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26402: Nice, keepitupgottacompetewithLorna. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26397: I had all the categories except ‘baked’ and that really messed it up for me - well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26402: Nicely done. Just need to expand to allow answers (eg card suits). Cheers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26401: Very good. Harder than it looked at first. Drove me crackers!😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26342: Your palindrome is just a little more famous than was three minutes ago. Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26341: Cars got me, great connection (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26382: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26396: Good grid, thanks. Learned something (Mad rulers) (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26397: Well it would have been easy...but those crossovers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26394: Very good, made me groan (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26388: Easy but nice, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26394: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

James @ #26394: It didn't accept "wood"for the first connection. Otherwise, it is a very good grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26397: Fun grid - cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26393: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26396: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26370: Rubbish (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26370: Agree entirely with Lorna about 'blankety' but I'm struggling with 'rounded.' Not sure that one adds anything, or fits the group. Maybe 'moss-covered' instead, for a revolting crossover with the wisdom group? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gerry @ #204: It's Dalmatian, not Dalmation... that had me scratching my head for a while! :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26375: Brilliant. I love your walls. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26370: Tricky, but fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26369: Entertaining. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26388: Missed the Coldplay section. 👍🏻 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26393: Fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26393: Enjoyed this one as not trying to be too clever and enough of a challenge. (4 years, 7 months ago)

RexCody @ #26385: Long Bailey is a bit of a strech as its a persons name and a person who is enjoying current but unlikely longstanding popularity/ press coverage. Calling Thales of miletus an inventor in the same sense as the others in that group seems out of place. The islands categorie was really good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26378: Works really well. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #1200: You mean stream, not stream in line 4 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26383: Don’t worry Ian YNWA (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26383: A Koppite for over 40 years and that's the one link I missed :-) Nice grid though, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Malvern Jan @ #583: Need tape in the STOP/PAUSE/PLAY/EJECT as well. (4 years, 7 months ago)

GG @ #26387: Poor show!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26375: A very classic wall- different types of connections, none too hard none too easy with a few good red herrings. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gray @ #26380: Very challenging - but had to hunt for the common factors. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26388: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26383: Thank you TooCleverByHalf - can’t believe I’ve never noticed that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gaz @ #26387: Angled is NOT an anagram of England! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #26379: Straightforward for TV addicts - nice grid though (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #26380: Very good - clever and challenging. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #26382: Nice grid - not sure about Bum though - maybe if you are a Beavis and Butthead fan lol (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26383: Tricky grid! I liked it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #26385: Excellent. Lots of red herrings! Well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedant @ #26383: * purple (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26383: The pure group is always the second group to be solved and can therefore change depending on the order you solve the grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Super Brad @ #26373: Shockingly bad, shame on you (4 years, 7 months ago)

JoBettany @ #9875: Precipitation not water! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26357: Easy but tons of fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26383: Damn, I’ve just spotted a spelling typo in the purple group answer. Shouldn’t matter: you’ll know what it is meant to say. This is the fault of predictive text (and me not checking and overriding it). Pity we can’t edit! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26359: Let down by the 'most popular baby names' category. Grid very specific to current year. Otherwise great. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Floreat @ #26357: I think having authors and children's authors as separate connections on the same grid is a little tedious. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #24637: Fun grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #24021: I really enjoyed this grid - cheers. However, as I’ve just been schooled in the difference between crossovers and the non-unique, I could point out that Stuart and Penny are interchangeable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26379: Thank you, Jahn (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #24637: Great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26380: Grateful for all the help I can get. Grid setting is harder than it looks!😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #24021: I enjoyed this grid. Thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26379: Easy - but fun. Nice subject (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #19699: I liked this grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26379: Ah well my first grid was said to be too hard and this one too easy. Maybe it'll be 3rd time lucky? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26381: 16 seconds to spare. Somehow just saw the Vole group with 12 boxes still to match. Hard to explain how that happens, but very satisfying. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26358: Well, eight? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26358: Only the one English one though! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26379: I was slow then at 22 seconds. So easy if you are of my generation. TGL is an all time favourite show. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26380: Awwwww, thanks. hope you didn't mind be chipping in on the red herring chat- probably made it more confusing! Well done for the re- submission- a lot of work! It's all a learning curve :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26370: Fire blank is tenuous (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26380: Excellent. Devilish, but excellent! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26358: I also found this: Harald "Upright" Gormsson (Old Norse: Haraldr Gormsson; Danish: Harald Uåpstand Gormsen, died c. 985/86) was a king of Denmark and Norway. He was famed for standing in a corner until his enemies got embarrassed and left. The upright vacuum cleaner is named in his honour. I hope this is helpful ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26379: I quite liked it but it only took 10 seconds! I normally find all name grids impenetrable. Nice idea (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26360: Have to google Glow... Or is it GLOW ? Tough one powerKat ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26360: Have to google Glow... Or is it GLOW ? Tough one powerKat ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #23951: last group weak (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26314: Liked this grid. Well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26351: Nice grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26363: Tough one - very specialised ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26373: Cheers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #24596: red and blue groups too esoteric (4 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #26345: Okay Lorna, I'll give it to you, jelly legs. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26378: good effort! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26373: ferguspuskas- it's a secret cryptic message- famous 5 presidents rainbow balls? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26299: For Verr, by way of explanation (4 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #26302: Fork you shirtbag. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26358: Are you referring to king Dyson of Lichtenstein 1492-1588? Or Dyson King of Prussia? The former succeeded both his father and his brother as they were the same person. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #26145: Sandy B's my bae, jelly legs. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #26130: Your face ends in disappointment, jelly legs. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26378: Fixed it! 🤞 (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26373: I'm assuming the answer given to the last group is not a comment but a reference to snooker? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26299: Copper Age definition is the aeneolithic age. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26377: Really liked the contextual camouflaging on the wind homograph. Excellent work- shame about non unique solution- as I've said before it's such an easy mistake to make. Excellent effort, nonetheless, intelligently done. Such a ball ache that we can't edit these! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26376: Dammit I'm Mad, I did't get a point for palindrome (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26373: Nice one BinDipper. Simple* way to explain- if a clue can travel from group A to group B but not be replaced from B back to A, it is a red herring and fine. If a clue can swap from A to B and another back from B to A, so that the two interchange, that is not a unique solution and the grid is invalid. In other words, travelling in one direction is ok, but not back again. Easiest way is to cycle the crossovers eg. A goes to B but not back, similarly B to C, C to D and D to A *(Well, a way to explain, anyway!) I have made a non unique grid myself recently- it is an easy mistake to make, usually due to last minute changes that aren't thought through, but once you know the mechanisms you can at least try to avoid them (doesn't always work!) Best of luck XX (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26373: Not a piss take - just easier to show rather than tell :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26377: **Spoiler alert** realised this is not a unique solution as Milk and House can fit both Acid and Snake groups. Sorry :-( (4 years, 7 months ago)

Smolenkoy @ #26344: Too many baby related words, impossible (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26370: Blankety was a crafty one- it works at a stretch but you need a sense of humour! The question I always ask of stretchy clues or little errors is- did it interfere with play? Could you still get the group? Does it add anything? For me the answers were no, I got it, and yes it made it fun, less boring and quite funny. And it got people talking! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26373: Now you’re just taking the piss 🤣 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26369: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26368: very good, hard work but worth persevering! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26332: Got it now, thanks! Though your new grid is taking the piss 😉😂 (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26376: In the blue group it depends on the kind of glass water and possibly air! And I isn't blind,to quote you! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26358: Thank you! That is a very helpful explanation BinDipper. I was very confused by the wrong example from Jonboy of Henry VIII and John (maybe he was thinking of Prince Arthur perhaps?). But yes, I can see there are lots of monarchs who succeeded their fathers which spoils the picture. Will try harder next time!😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Trev @ #26376: Answers could include the term palindrome and suits for the cards (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26373: Oops,learning needs!ihave them too? (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26373: Excluding severe leaning needs, the only explanation is an old fashioned piss-take after all. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Diver @ #26375: Gnarly (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #96: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #7380: good puzzle (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26345: at least 4 crossovers, that's pretty standard for a trad grid? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #26343: Nice grid and somewhat easier than many of your others. Also a much better band - well, more fun anyway. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26373: *Who'd* (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26373: Oh do you know what? I've just done this puzzle and it doesn't have a unique solution. Who's have thought? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rossco @ #12364: Enjoyable wall, good crossovers and not too difficult. Misses was a nice touch. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26373: FFS - will you use what little common sense you've been given. Of course it is! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26370: Not bad, but ‘blankety’ doesn’t have that meaning. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #26373: I mean. It's kinda crap. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26373: They're just red herrings Rossco - like on the programme. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rossco @ #26373: No unique solution, 2 of the rainbow colours can fit in the snooker ball group and vice versa. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26373: Jahn - See ... blue, green, yellow, red - interchange to your heart's content. There isn't a unique solution. It's a duff grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #26370: Spoiler! (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26332: I've had a go at explaining on your Kings puzzle Jahn. Bu all the grids you see on Only Connect have a unique solution (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #26342: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #26342: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #26342: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26358: The example Jonboy gives though isn't a good one. Henry VIII and John aren't swappable. But the chances of a unique grid with 16 things of the same type are slim. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #26339: I do indeed hate that group (U2, not the grid) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #18141: No problem with the flags group as (from what we can actually read, without India's Blue) they are colours of EU country flags. (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIz @ #26332: It is confusing but the red herrings can only move one way and not swap . (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26358: All grids should have a unique solution Jahn - so there is only one way they can be put together for all the links to be accurate. probably the most common flaw for us bumbling amateurs is to feck up this crucial requirement. Red herrings are what make it a puzzle beyond just simple knowledge. But let's say there are the names of 5 Kings on the grid - 4 fall into the Kings of England link; the other into "They're all names of vacuum cleaners." That's great. But if one of the kings that you have in your King group is ALSO the name of a vac, ie. so there are 2 vacs with kingly names, then you have a faulty grid. Those two names can be swapped around. You have a non-unique solution. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26332: Why do some people have a problem with ‘non-unique’? Also known as crossovers. They are there deliberately. To make the grid more challenging. Like in the programme!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #18126: Good idea but plenty of crossovers possible meaning no unique solution. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26358: I don’t get this ‘non unique’ answer business. Isn’t that the same as crossovers? Surely a good grid has lots of these! Of course that makes the grid harder, which some people don’t like. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26370: I went blank (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anna gram @ #26368: Many apologies- spelling error- should be Gun Store. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26355: Not convinced with ‘thou’ either :( (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26355: So I’ll take ‘rich people’ and ‘starships’ as correct answers, even though they weren’t accepted (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26357: Thanks Jonboy. I did consider LL Cool J but all the others were real name initials (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConcernedUser @ #26297: Ireland has a land border with the UK and therefore is not considered an island nation. Otherwise, very nice. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #25767: Cities have cathedrals (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26357: Nice one, well done. I suppose you could have had Ladies Love instead of Robert! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26359: Nice one. Didn’t get the Dahl connection. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26358: Nice idea but groups are not unique unfortunately. King John and Henry VIII could be swapped. Also another possible link for John, James II, William IV, George VI (and Henry VIII) is that they are the last Kings with those names. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26360: Nice one, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26363: Good ideas, but two of the film titles are incomplete: All Quiet on the Western Front, Madness of King George. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26359: Enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26330: Good fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #26363: ‘WW1’ should be an acceptable answer (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26359: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26357: The answer for Robert should be R Kelly not Robert Kelly. I was loathe to have him as a solution but surprisingly few musicians go only by initials. A bit like my previous grid on this theme it may be tricky having 2 separate sets of authors to decipher but since so many authors go by initials I had to fit them all in somehow! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26357: Superb! Got stuck trying to find other funny writers to go with PG! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Kay Effsee @ #26342: Perfect balance between solvable and frustration. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Kay Effsee @ #26330: Good fun, although pretty straightforward (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26355: Generation Kill was an Iraq war drama on HBO. Got caught out by the thousand group, well played (4 years, 7 months ago)

BigDawg @ #6729: Immaculate (4 years, 7 months ago)

grig @ #6729: That was hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26344: All of the H clues are also baby-related. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26352: Rev head or Head rev? Both are a bit obscure. Otherwise OK. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26351: Nice grid not too hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26345: Not bad but not many crossovers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #26349: I agree with " I quite liked this until I saw the solution to the Mother group. Nah, not having that :-))" (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26316: 'Pipette' and 'Buret' together! Hurts my eyes! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26315: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26310: Didn't get the grouping for 'zone'. Googled it and still none the wiser. I don't mind learning stuff, perhaps include a little detail in the explanation? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Daz @ #26351: easy but enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26307: Clever, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Daz @ #26355: generation kill??? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Daz @ #26356: yeah, nah... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26304: Not a fan of the complex line, quite tenuous. Also fine does not follow the pattern of the other three, being just an adjective. Liked the other two though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26345: Very easy but fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26355: niiiiice (4 years, 7 months ago)

JanS @ #26355: enjoyed that - well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

aps1971 @ #12698: brilliant (4 years, 7 months ago)

Wordie @ #26352: Lovely fun grid. Lighthearted and capricious. More of these please (4 years, 7 months ago)

not a four @ #25569: ...... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #26342: I especially liked the group that included Car. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26299: Not a fan of this. Copper age? Not likely. I still don't even know the French town as its not in the answer! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jay @ #26352: Nitpick - shouldn't it be Queen's (4 years, 7 months ago)

Triviax @ #26352: Teaser (4 years, 7 months ago)

JFH @ #26345: Lots of fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

fhd @ #26335: easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nope @ #19941: The capital of NY state is Albany, not New York City; Washington D.C. is the capital of the country, but not a state capital; and Princeton isn't the capital of anything either. (4 years, 7 months ago)

S @ #26326: Difficult grid. 🤯 (4 years, 7 months ago)

S @ #26290: Super grid. The best. Polling very highly. Everyone agrees. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26344: not a unique solution, I think :( (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26342: Tricky and good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26338: it didn't like 'abcd' - words with letters missing should at least form proper words - crossovers lacking (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #26332: Tough, partly through being non unique. Vows, gifts, gown, reading, band and possibly bells are applicable to baptisms or weddings and some also to bahmitzvahs. (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26338: nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26339: To be honest I am expecting a lot of people to hate that group- but all the more satisfying for those who do get it, hopefully. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26342: novel (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26339: Sneaky! Got caught up with the U2 links. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Derek @ #26339: Sorry, the U non U category doesn't really work for me but the other three groups were tricky. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25471: Really enjoying these French ones- good practice :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Toyvo @ #13910: Bit of a stretch with the replicant clues as his real name was KD9-3.7, just watched the movie a couple of nights back and it seemed like there were more references to that name than just K, in fact he gave himself the name Joe in the movie. That said, still a fun puzzle to do (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26335: clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26332: Phew! tangly one that. very well done and hard. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26289: Lol... famous 😂 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26328: Excellent grid, very well constructed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #26327: Good stuff. (4 years, 7 months ago)

dmk1965 @ #25860: Hit the Ceiling !!!! surely this category should be 'On The' Aside from this Its a good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26326: Thanks, very good grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26314: Easy, but fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

good grid! @ #26302: see name (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26308: I'm really glad I've never heard 'pickle' as a term of endearment :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

jms @ #26328: I liked this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26328: there's a wikipedia page that explains the term and I found 2 other refs to "scramble the code" on t'internet, so I think it can pass? (4 years, 7 months ago)

TIMOTHY HANRAHAN @ #26328: scramble a code? hmmm (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26328: cool cross-overs (4 years, 7 months ago)

PricillaQueen @ #26313: Quite a dervisher with a pleasing finish! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26319: Works well (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26328: I really hope so, Mr/ Mrs Obs. That's always my intention, even if mine sometimes (always) look a bit nasty. Because I love eureka moments and last minute, Indiana Jones' hat type moments myself; they're the most fun to solve. So I want that for other people :) Thanks so much for your feedback and your grids (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26320: Liked the word play - but needs crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26328: Very good. I like those grids where you think you’ve got no chance, but then you see it and ‘crack it.’ (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26281: I liked the instruments (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #13712: Very poor. Bizarre connections and boy bands wasn't accepted. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26316: Good grid though the red group is a bit of a stretch. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26322: that's the problem with last minute swaps (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26327: I understand that the letters are worth 4 in scrabble, but they are also letters of the alphabet (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26314: Easy but nicely done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26322: Of course! Good spot, didn't think of that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #26319: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26322: Nice idea... but you can swap cookie and gingerbread man (who's in the first two). Think when I did the.groat.group a while back I had "morose" instead of donkey :-p (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26324: Brilliant. You've made some great observations about the words you've chosen which really makes this stand out as exceptional. And it was fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26315: Very nice! I'd never heard of "tuck" used that way. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25188: reilnam? surely all anagrams have to be words (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25484: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #26301: Superb. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26280: Nice work, flower line I liked a lot (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26321: Stumped me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bert @ #21911: Im with Tim re the Punt thing - obviously an Americanism :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26319: Good grid - cheers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26316: characters group was a clever idea, but I didn't get it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26303: Deceptively simple...or do I mean deceptively hard? Either way, liked it very much, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26308: I usually start with a false group if I'm using one, and work outwards, but this one appeared by itself. Result of commonality, I suppose! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eileen Tudor-Wright @ #26306: Awfully good, Spiffing fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26246: Agree with Lorna - carn? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26318: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26308: Same as Dan - so many Beatles references to use (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26301: Very creative wall. I think there was room for pedantry on the precise connections but it was nearly 5* for me (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26298: 5* really enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Steph @ #1818: Clue as well as Cluedo, please (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26314: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #26288: Rob, your correct, All the clues should be obvious, then the puzz grids can be solved in a few seconds. What fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26272: Enjoyed a lot, well crafted. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26270: K. Code is still a mystery, perhaps some more info? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26268: Liked the sauces - serious crossovers 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26266: Liked the titles, less so the rivers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26262: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Puzzlerama @ #26302: Really enjoyed it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26308: Really good grid. I was convinced there was a Beatles group (Helter Skelter, Honey Pie, Savoy Trufle) that I missed the more obvious food/terms of endearment! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Puzzlerama @ #26307: Great theme! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Puzzlerama @ #26308: Great grid! Managed to get them all with just 5 seconds to spare :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26302: Had to look up cremini and that revealed a link. Should have worked out the others but well disguised.👍🏻 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26304: Cleverly done (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26308: Really good traditional grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26307: brilliant- great theme! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26308: Quick not on spelling variations- I chose Pak Choi over Bok Choy as a) I'm British and b) the former spelling bears some resemblance to Pao Cai- sorry if this causes issues for those used to the American spelling. Ta :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26289: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26308: Wow- you were quick- I've just this minute posted it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26308: Nice grid. Always an achievement to complete one of yours! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26306: Cheers guys for the comments. Can’t believe I missed out the full stop on Harry! Coincidentally I hadn’t seen DanC’s excellent grid when I did this one.😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26301: Excellent. Having separate fantasy and a sci-fi categories made it v tricky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26296: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26307: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26305: I enjoyed that, cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

ChippyD @ #26301: Good fun grid. Nice to have something a little different. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26301: Nearly just quit out when I first saw it - but then it dawned on me what was happening and I got sucked in. Turned out to be very satisfying. Moral - Don't trust your initial instinct ;o) (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26306: Good grid. I got there partly through luck and partly through researching US presidents for a recent grid so I immediately spotted the theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26306: Ditto what BD said- really good grid and interesting about the S. but I'd have struggled with those two even with the full names! I did recognise a lot of them as Pres. mid names but spent most of the time disentangling them from the brilliant Simpsons red herrings! Extremely clever grid, just a bit too hard for me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #13682: Great Wall. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26301: That was great fun, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #608: First time ever first 4 guesses were correct. Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26306: Big tick and smiley face for two or three of the groups but I think having to distinguish between the 2 similar groups is a bit harsh, particularly as some of them are rarely seen. The S. versus just S is worth a Google though. Cheers Jahn. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26291: Tough without pen and paper. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26290: Good fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26290: Good fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26289: Very good. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26301: Really brilliant. Thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26241: Enjoyed that grid. I’m into my film and music, but couldn’t get the Chemical and Isley group connections until I saw them all together. (4 years, 7 months ago)

I really enjoyed this one. @ #26301: Enjoyable, as I got 10/10 but really had no clue when I first looked at it. I like grids that build a sense of achievement! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26298: Stylish to include 3 answers !! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Knight @ #26262: Bile urine phlegm blood? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26303: Cute (4 years, 7 months ago)

robert craig @ #26288: online bank less than obvious (4 years, 7 months ago)

nik @ #3712: great one (4 years, 7 months ago)

nik @ #12552: very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26295: Nice one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26298: Top notch! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26301: excellent stuff! top work, an exceptional grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #26296: Who is Robbie Williams? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26302: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26298: loved it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

GreenTea @ #26299: Varied grid - enjoyed it thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26291: mistake on spelling of plum (4 years, 7 months ago)

GreenTea @ #26294: Thanks. All good. Showing up again now. Weird! (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26294: Maybe your settings for number of stars are too high GT? I still see it (4 years, 7 months ago)

GreenTea @ #26294: Why has this grid been removed from the main ‘browse grid’ page? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26296: really well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26290: 's' not liked for groups but the rest works well (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26293: Not bad thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26292: Agree with comments - its not unique (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26293: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26289: So neat!thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26291: Ran out of time! Very good. Enjoyed the fab group :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26294: Really nice mix of subjects and fun wordplay- unfortunately the group with _ stood out alone, and there weren't really any crossovers as a result. Great idea though, mixing the codes with missing vowels could have been very tricky indeed! You were being too kind! thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26290: Nice. A gentle one :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26289: Great! Thought I’d spotted a 70s bands group but great red herrings. Good one, thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #26262: Bodily Fluids.... what are you on about??? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26292: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26290: Fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26291: I know that feeling! It is so much harder to proof a grid that you've mucked about with. It didn't interfere too much and it was great to be on the receiving end of one of these for a change. If you did some more I wouldn't complain! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26292: SF7 I think ED and BD are talking about interchangeable entries ie. non unique solutions whereas you are referring to red herrings. Red herrings are indeed intrinsic to the game but they need to only be able to travel in one direction. It's a mistake I've made myself a couple of times on grids! I enjoyed it nonetheless, a fun grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #26292: Electric Dreams - i think thats the point. its meant to throw you a bit. I think the category that can be followed by numbers should have a better them, there's a book, a movie, a band. There should be a theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26291: Yes you're right Lorna I managed to get an extra 12 in there. That was the last group I typed up and my eyes were seeing double by then (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26292: Enjoyable grid but I think ED is right - not a unique solution. (4 years, 7 months ago)

jms @ #26287: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26289: Very good, knew there was a reggae group, but couldn’t pin it down. And never heard of lemon mint, but I have now! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Electric Dreams @ #26292: I liked the categories, but I think Decker, Bed and Cream can all be both single and double? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26291: 3 goes plus pen and paper! Good fun. think plum has a typo (two 12's) unless I misread that. Thanks for doing this, it was a lot of fun and obviously took a bit of work on your part :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #2655: Oh yeah, Bananarama (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26290: couple of good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #26288: Sorry Tommy, your correct. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26286: Poetic! Lovely use of language, twisty in all the right places, inspired crossovers, a lot of fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #26291: No! Tried to do it without pen or paper and just ran out of time. Fun idea! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26291: This is the easiest grid in the world combined with the easiest code in the world - but can you beat the clock? - Pen & paper might help (4 years, 7 months ago)

joe90 @ #26285: nice links - simple to solve (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26288: Really neat grid. Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #9646: Isn't it about time Posh had a fifth (maybe called Cerveza)? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26287: Great! Really well constructed grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

timmy @ #26288: salt should be accepted (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #2748: Very easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

Geoff @ #6833: The word relative does not give a correct answer for the family members connection (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26284: Very well put together. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26285: Superb gridding, excellent construction and grouping. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26286: Clever stuff! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26285: Brilliant grid! I got 10 through good luck and good guesses :) Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26284: Very clever. So pleased with myself for spotting the slade group that I missed the obvious fire group! Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26277: All fair. The ringlets group beat me, quite a tough group mixed in with other easier ones! Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26276: Super grid! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

simet @ #26281: Good grid but be more generous in your solution matching - Row 1 and 3 have several keywords that could have been in the solution (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26273: Brilliant - my favourite grid of the week. Well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26274: Nicely done! Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26284: 5 stars from me. My type of grid - single words (practically) and a range of connections. That's the good news. The bad? I'll have to put a pitchfork in your head for including that HP git. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26253: Cape verde and Eritrea are a bit crazy - why do that? Even if one could spot Scotland, the other two would nit follow. Much more frustrating than fun I'm afraid. 'Spirits' not accepted for me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #26274: Rejected my Greek mythology reference. Otherwise a good wall. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jade437 @ #26282: Nice grid. The first of yours where I managed to resolve all the groups. Also made all the connections although the last one took a while to see. (4 years, 7 months ago)

jemmbk8 @ #13910: Please accept "joinery" as an answer - otherwise, great grid! I loved the "Ks" category especially! (4 years, 7 months ago)

nickf @ #26259: yay ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26272: Dingo but not goat, me as well (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nz @ #26267: I was convinced tomate was going to be in the O group. Shame really :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26259: That’s a fish (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #26212: Spelling Middlesbrough incorrectly should be a hanging offence. FWIW Middlesbrough FC play in the North Riding Senior Cup - I think that settles definitively any debate about whether it's in Yorkshire. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #2652: Surely Tarentino ought to be acceptable. The blue line is first words of various films of his. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26274: Nice and easy but not lacking in crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26271: Echidna- google an image because they are ADORABLE! Crying out to be a kids book character (copyright Lorna!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

jms @ #26271: What baby animal is a puggle? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26273: It was mostly great- this by no means interfered -got it in 30- but having a mix of with/ without "the" made it a little bit messy- plenty of examples of one or the other to choose from. Other than that one niggle, it was a lot of fun and a nice mix of subjects in the one style, a fun easy one. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26272: BTW I find that putting "synonym" in the terms box helps to keep people happy- also maybe a comma between farm and animal- I saw dingo not goat so didn't make that connection! My fault I know, depends how precise you want to be with answers. Thanks for this one, it was great! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26272: Really exceptionally good! Not over difficult- I had about a minute spare- but it makes you think differently. My kind of grid, great work, thank you :) :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26263: Well worked (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26236: Adding the letter was plenty, no need for the towns. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Poorsolver @ #26264: Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

Poorsolver @ #26266: River Ely? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Poorsolver @ #26272: Need more options for answers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26271: Boys names very weak - Doesn't like 'New York' Doesn't like 'young animals' -Needs a lot of work ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26263: Very neat - enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Poorsolver @ #582: Got the links right but Kitchen appliances and animal noises didn't work. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Vg @ #26247: Good stuff (4 years, 7 months ago)

WIZ @ #26186: Yak it is then! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26260: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26249: Can't believe this one is slipping down on only 2 1/2 stars- I thought it was great! There's no accounting :( It definitely deserves more- nice to see you back (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spunk gub @ #26253: If you didn’t have a spelling mistake it would be good, tit (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26266: Something very pleasing about that one. Very nice work. And an unusually supportive cat?! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mittens The Kitten @ #26266: Great wall Dad! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CStamm @ #26263: I didn't get the wound up category - just the right level of tricky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #204: Agree with Andrew's comment. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26228: Thank you, Lorna. I'll try! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #6833: Family member one should accept relative (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #583: Need tape in answers to button controls! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Muttonchops @ #26247: Tough one... 3/10! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26259: Brill! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Oldboot @ #26247: Very clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26217: BTW it makes it kind of easy to work out who it is when the comments page has a time line. Just saying. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26217: Hello GG I'm afraid someone thinks it's funny to use my name again. People are just going to have to use their own discernment- if a comment REALLY doesn't look like me, then it's not me. Someone is very bored but rather than attempt to write a grid of their own and contribute to the site they'd rather partake in that popular sport of Lorna- baiting. I just think you're really, really sad. There are people out there who can help you sort your problems out for real, but please leave me out of your frustrated attempts to amuse yourself. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26254: Oh- such a lovely idea but apart from 2 of the Hugh Grant films I found it really hard to get a first hand hold. I liked the upper/ lower case mix, which helped, but I think I could have tried this 12 times and failed. Well done to those who got it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26253: Very hard, challenging but fun, clever. Typo threw me but also Sprite- I was looking for members of the clergy! Nice to have something different, thank you (4 years, 7 months ago)

GG @ #26217: Never mind - I've figured it out since. But there was no need to be so rude about it :_( (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26252: Easy until I hit Rocky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26249: AAAArgh! Forgot about coupon! I don't know, you go quiet for ages and then pull that out of the bag! VERY clever, top work :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26247: Very hard but fair, well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26246: I enjoyed the suffix, prefix and anagram groups, but I'm afraid the vegetables didn't work so well, to me. I got it but I think it was a slight stretch. Good overall, though :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26245: That made me smile as I'm a big fan of brass eye. Couldn't get to grips with the actors- net cast a bit wide? Enjoyed this one though :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26243: Great! fooled me (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26244: I enjoyed that, novel. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26242: Every 3rd. thanks, glad you did so well! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

SDog @ #26255: Good grid but difficult, lots of red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

chazgrid @ #26255: 0/10. Way too hard for me but a neat grid once revealed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

TTT @ #26254: Cracking Grid there. Really enjoyed it. Best grid in a while. Casimiro? (4 years, 7 months ago)

typo spotter @ #26254: Tricky but after a few refreshes it was fun! Are you Ryan C? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26226: A couple of issues (imo). Colour names from paint ranges etc. make for some unsatisfying connections. Asafoetida seems to be spelled incorrectly, and Chromium does not fit the connection. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26217: I don't have to explain to the likes of you..... idiot (4 years, 7 months ago)

GG @ #26217: Can you please explain what on Earth "with the words numbered" is supposed to mean?! 'King Kong' is two words. 'Beauty Killed Beast' is three words. How does "3,4,6" relate to either? Jurassic Park = 2 words "Welcome To Park" = 3 words "Welcome To Jurassic Park" = 4 words So what is the relevance of "1,2,4"? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26216: I liked it (4 years, 7 months ago)

typo spotter @ #26253: Stoln Lad is a typo for scotland (4 years, 7 months ago)

GR @ #20786: The prefix for Do, Happy, organise etc should be Un not In. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26162: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #8403: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #17728: Missed the films (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26209: Got two groups, failed on the groups & films not surprisingly (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pam @ #26247: Good, I found it hard as I took too long over the first group and couldn’t find the spies. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Steve @ #26247: I liked that one. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26241: Superb (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26242: Loved it! Not often I get 10/10 on one of yours (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #26242: Like the concept - but is there a system for the missing letters? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26244: Nice grid. Fun to do. Liked that there was one theme across the whole grid. (JUST LOSE THE CAPS! 😉) (4 years, 7 months ago)

David M @ #26247: That was hard. Still baffled by 2nd group. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26248: Good one! Quite ingenious Maybe lose the caps? Might make someone think you’re shouting (or that they are part of the clue)😉 (4 years, 7 months ago)

BLUEB @ #26200: I had never heard of a virgule before! (4 years, 7 months ago)

BLUEB @ #26201: homophones - damn (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26244: Great grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

MizQuiz @ #26162: Nice wall! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #26211: Liked that allot. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jimbo @ #26192: Love Simon??? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26210: I should of done better, had me foxed, but very entertaining. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jimbo @ #26241: Just lovely (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #26209: Very tough, until the groups came up, then it clicked! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #26227: Nice grid; I grouped the Print/Fry/Holding/Talk set as "can be followed by 'up'" (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fritzaps @ #26211: very cool grid!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26183: Good grid. I was looking for a TOWIE red herring at one point (mug, gel) 😂 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26217: Sorry guys- maybe it was a bit much having red herrings in one of these? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Harry H @ #26226: Sorry, chromium is a metallic element not an alloy. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26238: Not stupid! Interesting- one or two things- using blueberry as a colour makes it interchangeable with the other berries unfortunately, but I liked where you were going with the idea. I also like that you made the technical distinction between true berries and other fruits, hence inclusion of banana- however you would then have to lose raspberry, as you rightly did with strawberry, as it a fruit with drupes. If you were using a more generic berry group obviously that would be fine! on the whole a really good attempt and more clever than it may get credit for- do keep trying to make grids like this- a bit different with unique ideas :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26237: Well executed, got the groups but didn't get the Prince link as I went for the lowest common denominator there, and guessed French as I hadn't heard of some of that group. Noticed a couple of crossovers, nicely played, and no cliche'd groups. Types of group ie preceding words, types of, refs, were mixed which is good. Very competent start, well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26236: Interesting- I learned some new facts- very hard but good, and I love the name! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #26218: Gratitude. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26228: congrats on your first grid, highly competent. Looking forward to more :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #26215: Fantastic grid - really enjoyed it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26181: Superb (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26186: I vote Yak! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26182: Enjoyed this one - thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fritzaps @ #26231: nice fun grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26231: Nice easy one although I missed the cloaked group! Thanks, nice one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26217: Brilliant idea. I kept trying but couldn't solve it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Zoe @ #26238: This is kind of stupid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26228: Fred, you're right about Tim Rice being a lyricist rather than composer. It is covered by the answer "musicals" but yes, I put him by mistake. First ever grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

kjamb @ #26237: First time making a grid! Any feedback is welcomed! (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #16689: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jay @ #26231: Sonnet is a type of poem, not a synonym. Also I got confused with apple-peack-lumber-rick (comes from trees). (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26199: On all levels clever,clever, clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #4561: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26217: Very tough - had 3 goes still only managed one and a half. Love the challenge though (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #26228: Did you mean Rim Rice? - He was the lyricist, not the composer (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26228: 3 groups ok but MSP group too niche (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26231: Easy one (20 seconds) but still a lot of fun and lovely wordplay, I enjoyed it a lot. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26231: Nice grid, just got the fruit/trees (4 years, 7 months ago)

Knot4u @ #26171: What a cracker (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26228: Tough but fair, thanks for submitting! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26227: Tough grid! kicked myself for missing the seven group. Nice work (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26231: Ahh! I didn't get the tree ones. Great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26226: Great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26227: Liked it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

quizzly @ #583: I put 'remote control' for the recorder one. (4 years, 7 months ago)

quizzly @ #9875: I agree, water is not specific enough. Washing machine threw me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26228: Lovely musical theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26225: Trust you to spot it CM4PM! I'm ok with whisky as I don't think there's a food called whisky finger- but I think I'll invent some! Maybe a cross between cranachan and a cream finger? (drool). Wish I'd just put hidden, then I'd get away with it. Hey hoo :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26227: Nice variety and well executed (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26227: The Fry red herring has me searching for a Futurama group, well played (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26226: That was good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26202: The chess one!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #26215: I didn't get the blue group but this was a great grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26225: Devious! 😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26215: Great fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26212: Complicated past has Middlebrough but according to the BBC, Wiki and Brittanica it sits in the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, where it is the largest town. The council situation would have it as being Middlesbrough in Middlesbrough (which is novel); Teeside having bitten the dust in the 1970s and Cleveland in the 90s. (4 years, 7 months ago)

roo @ #26153: Top notch (4 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #26212: Middlesbrough is a town & a pretty grim one at that. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26225: Yes I was about to mention Cream! Maybe a finger of whisky too? Or maybe I’m making excuses cos you beat me hands down with this one :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26224: Nice and easy, particularly if you’re my age! Thanks for submitting:) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26218: Enjoyed that! (4 years, 7 months ago)

jeff @ #26212: tres good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26225: I have omitted the word "hidden" from the whippet group, which would *technically* have saved me from one word being interchangeable. If you didn't spot it anyway, great- if you did, please pretend that I did write "hidden" and enjoy the fact that one word could fit in all four groups! Sorry about that :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26212: Hey, BD, nowt wrong wi Yorkshire! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Katie @ #26212: Middlesbrough really isn't (4 years, 7 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #26203: Loved the Scrubs group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26211: 😊👍🏻 (4 years, 7 months ago)

e7odie @ #15242: Very good overall but my only suggestion is to not make all groups "phrases with [word] before" or "phrases with [word] after." I know these are the easiest to make, but variety is good. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26217: Ha- yes! Apparently it was an ad- libbed in joke- due to the dangerously overloaded props boat, during production the cast/ crew used it as a catchphrase, and one use made it into the cut. Thanks for the very generous scoring! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Margaret Gabica @ #25174: Woohoo! Tricky but accessible! Very nice wall! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gordibhoy @ #26217: Fiendish right enough. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #26221: Pretty easy, and the connections are weak. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gordibhoy @ #26223: Relatively simple, although the defintions require a little tweak. Especially the "Kite" group. Most folk will answer "quadrilaterals" or "four sides". Thanks anyway. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gordibhoy @ #26218: Enjoyed. Felt the "synonym for jester" a little too tight a definition for that group, kinda requires a simpler "reveal". But good nonetheless. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26211: excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

McNerd @ #26211: nice grid emmate, top bloggy! (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26221: nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26220: ? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26218: Very good. Like the goose group (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26217: Trickery! Witchcraft! I have been misquoting one of my favourite film lines all these years! I admit I even YouTubed it to check, and you are absolutely right, Chief Brodie says “you’re” and not “we’re”. Fantastic grid, 5* (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stephanie @ #583: That was fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26216: Too clever for me. I had much of the knowledge but it would have taken me more than 3 minutes to work out / guess the answers. I’d rate this as fiendish but fair (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26214: Not my subject unfortunately I guess you’d either find this one easy or very difficult! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26215: Easy but good fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

16pig @ #26209: See also 65daysofstatic and East 17 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Harry H @ #26216: The explanation for the footballers gives away the other groups. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26191: I really liked this one. It is so much harder to proof read coded grids/ anagrams etc! So easy to make mistakes. Thanks for submitting this (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26186: In the song yakety yak it's spelled like that- I suppose it must be both? Thanks for commenting WiZ :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26218: thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26216: Lovely work, I love it when the fog clears and it starts to make sense. A lot of effort clearly, very much worth it, quite tricky but entirely fair. GENIUS and original way to use elements. I fell down on the footballers, but that's my failing, not yours. Excellent stuff :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

WiZ @ #26186: Great, tho should it be Yack Lorna?you are usually precise...... (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26216: Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26212: Yes, they both have that misfortune nowadays. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #25925: I put in the answer, words duel after main word. But only accepted the word duel????. Never mind simple good quiz. (4 years, 7 months ago)

StarMan70 @ #26212: Yes they are (4 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #26212: Middlesborough and Hull are not in Yorkshire (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #26191: Apologies for the anagram error. I think I was so pleased that I made another word I didn't check my working out properly. Kudos for solving! (4 years, 7 months ago)

StarMan70 @ #26213: So my comments were sarcastic, and the ones below me weren't? I was simply trying to point out in a jokey way that it was an incredibly niche grid. And i'll deploy sarcasm whenever i see fit. Keep up the good work, just let us mortals in now and again (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26213: The inclusion of numbers in that group was for the sake of consistency (no sore thumbs)- they're unnecessary otherwise: I included Diggley as it is famously on many lists of most ridiculous song lyrics, the others should be spottable by the words alone also. I usually include one group which is less easily resolvable by the device used on the grid, or it gets samey. Happy to take constructive feedback- careful of becoming sarcastic though, doesn't make you sound that good, I'm less likely to take any notice of your comments. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26215: excellent! (4 years, 7 months ago)

StarMan70 @ #26213: Ah of course, the numbered words from Diggley Digglyoo.....kicking myself......:) W.T.A.F? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26211: 5* really well constructed Medium level grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26192: Terrific! Spotted the theme just too late but enjoyed that. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26191: Ah! Thought there was a game called share word or word share! Yes, the missing C now makes sense! Really nice grid, and I actually enjoyed spotting the lob egg group. Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26190: Great! Nice balance for me of things I knew, things I could work out and things I could make a good guess at :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26193: Some very fine constructing. I learned a lot. Pity about swappable entries. Hidden numbers were very hard to spot. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26209: Didn’t know enough to get any groups. Nice idea but too clever for me! You’ve given me an idea for another group though :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26213: damn, I would've nailed this if I didn't have the long held misconception that 'Ear' was the 63rd word in Boom-bang-a-bang, (now I discover its the 62nd) messed me right up!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26191: You have 'Shoreward', but it is short one letter, perhaps 'Ward Chores' would be a choice. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

DrDan @ #26202: The chess one was sublime! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26208: Lovely but not so awfully fiendish? Found your most recent much harder! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Danny @ #6833: Agree with previous comments. 'relatives' should be correct (4 years, 7 months ago)

x @ #26193: chicago won best picture so could swap with s.o.m (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26195: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26206: Don't like ' members of ' or 'characters in' - too niche - couple of good crossovers though (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26203: Not sure about 'Bob' or any crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26186: Well done Esq- maybe you're just getting used to me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26203: I got zero on that, I initially saw climax, my mind went into the gutter, there are quite a few words that then took on sexual connotations. I’m tired, I should probably go to bed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26199: Read the comments page Joe- it will explain everything! At least 7 refs but all false, I''m afraid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #26208: 0/10... Whoops! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26209: Was working on a similar grid myself, probably won’t bother now! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26209: Brilliant, what threw me was that three of the book group were also made into films (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26208: Happy to get 3/10 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26210: really good, threw me with the Vegas bit. (4 years, 7 months ago)

statshiro @ #26209: Different and enjoyable but easy once I figured out the groups (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26202: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26206: enjoyed the vehicles very much, fun spot (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #26202: Very enjoyable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26202: Excellent, really enjoyed that one. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26199: At least 3 bits of Harry Potter in it - are you sure its yours Laura ? Still good though (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26202: Liked it - trouble is I now want some chips (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26204: Oh I hands up admit that it would take me at least three goes to some of my ones- or I'd fail miserably! Still, nice to have something a bit different; there are no rules. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26204: sorry about the one lower case e- it snuck in! Harder to proof read the coded ones :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26204: I got the idea at once, but it still took me SO LONG haha - you'd think I could memorise the numbers, but no. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26203: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26202: Something really nice about that one. Really enjoyed that, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Max @ #26201: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26199: Anyone who reads through these comments may have a slight advantage with this one... (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26197: Oh, I'm so sorry, Joe- must have missed it- that's a hell of an omission! I'm usually very careful. Take the points, it's all the same! (4 years, 7 months ago)

SADonaldson @ #26145: very nice wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26023: first line wouldnt accept blended whisky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26197: Good - but 'b' wasn't liked which stopped my 10/10. At least I know (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedant @ #26193: It's "THE Sound of Music" (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amos @ #26161: Okceg surely? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26195: I love a device used over a whole grid, it's a lot of fun, easy if you spot it early but very enjoyable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26190: Not too difficult and no obscure subjects - so well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26195: Difficult to cover all definitions but you'll know if your right. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jess @ #26160: Really clever difficult one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jess @ #26171: Only one I didn’t get was the muppets! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26190: Thank you very much, chris. If you ever see Potter characters in one of mine, its a pretty good clue that it's a false group! Same goes for NATO alphabet etc. etc. Proud to say I wouldn't know a Pokemon or spawn of a Beckham or celeb chef if it bit me on the bum, though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26185: Hi, if there is another person genuinely out there also called Lorna, could we agree on Lorna 2 or something? If people are STILL deliberately using my name, it's getting really tired. Thanking you in advance (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26192: I love a good theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26189: Good all round grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26190: Good grid, quite easy but at least no celebs or Harry Potter. Well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26185: Lovely grid. Managed to complete it with very little knowledge of TV chefs. Once I got past Barnaby being a Tom, a John, a Chief Inspector, a bear from CBeebies, or a community in New Brunswick, I was home free. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #26190: Very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26189: they're also just national symbols- simplest answer should be sufficient, unless one entry precludes it? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26181: 5*! Superb grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jaz @ #26153: Really liked this one! Possibly my favourite of yours so far! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26179: Really enjoyed that! I think that Joshua and Judges could swap? Didn’t hinder my enjoyment at all though, thanks for submitting :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26185: I agree, a grid needs something that's an "in" to start off. This one was nice with Barnaby that could only mean one thing (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26186: Fastest I've ever done one of your grids. Either I'm getting better or you were going easy on us :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #26179: This was hard for me but enjoyed the way it made me think (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #26180: Liked it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #26182: Decent grid, thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26185: Difficulty level just right, maybe slightly easy. (Unlike too many here which I find much harder than actual Only Connect grids.) Also, the words themselves gave clues to the groups, which is a plus - I'm growing to dislike grids with 16 random common words, as they are so difficult to get started with. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #26185: Can't believe I missed the Dickens characters but got the celebrity chefs. Really worried what that says about me :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Superslu @ #26185: Great quiz bro! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26187: Fiendish, especially with the crossovers. Bit more interesting than your average grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26179: Love it! My favorites are the clever ones like this, with so many red herrings. The time I wasted looking for "Nick" and "Knight" ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #26168: Fourthed (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26186: Oh, perfection! Heaven! Thank you! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26181: brilliant! 5 stars. Not hard but extremely clever and very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26180: very clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

Reg @ #26179: 😁 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Reg @ #26172: Liked bardinal,but eire not so much. (4 years, 7 months ago)

RJS @ #26166: Body parts is a perfectly good connection ! Door parts is a gem . (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26162: Great work. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26177: hadn't heard of Header within that group. good grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26175: didn't get it but liked the cob group (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26159: Good fun, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #26177: Good grid but hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jay @ #26175: Would have liked to see Lavarat with a capital L. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26174: ah! thanks! so that works as quite a good red herring. I was confused about the MC, thanks for clearing that up. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26162: Pluto is Roman mythology I believe, (The Greek equivalent would be Hades) and Titan i don't think is a 'character', rather a class of Deity that ruled prior to the Gods. Poseidon and Adonis, I don't have an issue with! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ernie @ #26174: Yeah - I should have checked the Kite Falcon thing. It does appear as a "known phrase" on Rhymezone but unless you count a type of Clarke's shoe I think that's incorrect. Mary Celeste -real. Marie Celeste - Conan Doyle The Flying Dutchman - legendary ghost ship. When I looked I couldn't find Orca as a ghost ship. Apologies if it exists (though it can't because it's a ghost). (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26167: *shoe horned. lol (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26167: The 'QUEEN OF THE' connection is a bit show horned in. One of them is 'QUEENS OF THE' and the Priscilla one precedes the phrase and then misses out the word desert. And then HEARTS doesn't contain 'the' but THE SOUTH does....and...its just a bit of a mess! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26170: Last two groups were very hard. Nice grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26174: me and lorna pretty much wrote the same critique at the same time! apologies for the redundancy (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #26174: Good grid. some issues maybe, I don't think Kite can comfortably fit into a group of words that's precede Falcon, as the clue suggests, as the bird is commonly called just 'Kite' rather than 'Kite Falcon'. I think its a bit underhanded to place Marie Celeste in a group of 'Fictional ships'. Maybe Orca and Flying Dutchman could be swapped which would make for a non-unique solution. (GHOST ORCA) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26174: I don't think a kite can be called a falcon although it didn't stop me getting that group so I'm sure it doesn't matter. The bit that confused me was Marie Celeste, as I thought it was real- I can see you gave an example of it's use in fiction, but, for example, the queen appears in the fiction "The BFG" but is not a fictional character, so I missed putting the MC in a group with fictional ships. I do want to stress that I did like this grid, it was original and fun, and I look forward to playing more of yours! Certainly not a cock up and I make plenty of mistakes myself! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26172: Harder one coming up. I try to cater for most, some easier, some more fiendish! Thanks for the feedback, especially on difficulty levels, as it's the hardest thing to judge- so many different people playing! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ernie @ #26174: Thank you. All ears lorna - not literally. Where have I cocked up? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26174: this was fun but it had one or two factual problems (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26159: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Chris G @ #26161: Fun wall - quite easy for me but perhaps just because it fit well with my knowledge set. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Camas @ #26150: I liked the style of this one, what a diamond geezer (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26166: Oh dear. Why do that? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26154: I would have so gotten them if they were Balmon, Backerel, Brout and Bwordfish (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26151: Can't seem to find one of leadbellys grids???? (4 years, 7 months ago)

gmorgs @ #22589: Ditto elements comment. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26168: Should accept captain (4 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #26167: Possibly the best fun you can have fully clothed. Top marks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

N&J @ #24896: Lovely (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bothyboy @ #26153: Nice..... (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26162: You do really great grids 👍🏻 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26157: Very good, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26166: hiding the connection within a group- double fiendish! Extreme cleverness, but I wonder how people will react to it! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26160: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26161: The Lakes and Ekans groups were cleverly hidden. But I guess Pokemon is either your thing or you won’t get those groups (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26162: (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25479: cool (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26159: Not bad. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #17090: wonderful (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26072: Intrigued by the opposites group- I get some of them- (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26151: I LIVE in the nonsense drawer! Come on in, the water's lovely. Case of sour grapes, methinks? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26162: very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26158: Nice and easy. Enjoyable :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26157: really good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26158: nice idea (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26152: Very difficult, not my subjects. All fair knowledge though (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26154: you got me with this one- simple but very effective (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26155: nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26150: Great! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26153: very good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

gmorgs @ #1942: Lend me your great Nog? ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26145: Good wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

gmorgs @ #12915: But ... where do all the toasters go? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26129: My beloved would laugh at the thought of my French being fluent, BinDipper, but he’s Quebecois, so what does he know! ? Your groups all made sense and I admire your bravery in even attempting a French grid. You did miss an ‘s’ out of Roussillon :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26149: Brought a couple of smiles! Thank you Lorna :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26139: Projectiles (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26148: Loved the palace grid, very clever! Nice grid to do :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26153: Kissing was a new one for me - every day is a school day! (4 years, 7 months ago)

GMS @ #26150: Smiley face (4 years, 7 months ago)

GMS @ #26151: I liked it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #26159: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

GMS @ #26155: V. Good. Put concave instead of indentation but I think Victoria would have given me it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26159: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

GMS @ #26157: Thumbs up! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26151: Not bad mate, obvious what the typo was. Bit harsh comments (4 years, 7 months ago)

GMS @ #26159: Likey likey! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26137: A bunch of these fit into each other's categories (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26149: Good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26150: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26145: Enjoyed - found it quite difficult. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26158: Very easy - but fun! By the way, Three Steps to Heaven was written and first performed by the great Eddie Cochran. He should get the credit over that old covers band from Leicester 😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26152: Liked the connections, thanks. I learned a few things. Gipsy is the yacht spelling. Check out proceed/precede/succeed. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26151: Harsh, it's only one ttypo. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bbgun @ #26072: Very easy my arse (4 years, 7 months ago)

Victor Colin @ #22432: No sense again (4 years, 7 months ago)

Victor Colin @ #22566: No sense (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anis @ #22566: (4 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #26151: File in the nonsense drawer. (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26158: Too easy.. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Reg @ #26142: Howdy, I think you meant Homophone when you wrote Homonym, and beater may be a homophone of beta for some, but for so many others it is really, really not! Sigh... would be a better choice! The rest of the grid was great. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spengler & JJ @ #26144: need some practice, keep trying (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Bongos @ #26151: Nice idea, kind of ruined by one of the clues being wrong (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spengler & JJ @ #26135: likewise Coren (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26149: Liked this one because I’m childish too (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spengler & JJ @ #26148: we liked the ruby group especially. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26152: Wonderful stuff, well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spengler & JJ @ #26149: I loved the 3 little piggies once I spotted it- JJ we didn't complete though - very tricky, well done -S (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spengler & JJ @ #26152: We can't agree (4 years, 7 months ago)

Spengler & JJ @ #26151: do hush Leadbelly, it was alright! (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26116: the Clown is bore form (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26106: piss (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26129: worst comment ever by Joe Soap. Zzzzzzz (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26130: shwing! (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26133: very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26149: piddle indeed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26151: File in the nonsense drawer. (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26131: im sure theyre called Simply Green. (4 years, 7 months ago)

leadbelly @ #26145: nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26152: A rare 5. Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26151: Lovely grid! I really like ones where you have to use your eyes differently. Conceptually good and also well executed despite slight typo. Good stuff, more like this would be most welcome! thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26150: Top gridding yet again from Aetees. You never fail to entertain :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

art @ #26145: good wall (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26151: *She's goa have it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #26149: Argh - of course it had roast beef!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26123: Nice grid. Enjoyed it. Thank you. Aye, how undermining of me. Now, that's passive aggressive. You see the difference? I think I'll call it a day with you at that point. (4 years, 7 months ago)

personalpipe @ #26123: My attitude is just fine, I don't understand why you seek to undermine what is a pretty solid bit of work on Val Crow's part with a weak argument. It just felt a bit passive aggressive is all. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Binky @ #22003: What is a fishing cat???? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Binky @ #22005: I agree. Pants. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26142: excellent mix (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26144: SBFC could also be -AT. or -LIP amongst others (4 years, 7 months ago)

Steve @ #444: No such thing as a top hole!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #26149: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Widger @ #26149: enjoyable grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #26142: tough but fair (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26135: Spotted half of the theme early but missed the other key element. Defeated, but fairly! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26134: Very tricky. Beat me. All fair knowledge requirements though. I learnt some things! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26147: Clever idea- I think I'd have spotted Solomon Grundy if it had been worded as in the rhyme, as it was I found it too hard, but it's a nice concept (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26148: Good choices for the missing words. Original :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #25999: nice quiz but should have got the card games (4 years, 7 months ago)

G @ #26034: That was hard! Henry would not be a brand, rather a model. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26007: Rodger they were universities not colleges. Never mind old bean, .but it was a nice quiz to start the day (4 years, 7 months ago)

G @ #26017: To blunder doesn't mean to struggle, it means to be clumsy, to make mistakes. (4 years, 7 months ago)

steve t @ #26131: great fun - thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: A fluent French speaker Amaryllis? Does the rest of the grid work? I did it but had no clue if it would work for someone French. He (hopefully) should see 6 types of fruit, 5 towns in Provence, 5 parts of a car and then a group of 4 made up entirely of 'fause pistes' with no fausse pistes of their own. My French wasn't up to getting a proper 4th working group together. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26038: you are right of course mal but as me dictionary said I could use either, I needed that version to get the cow. glad you enjoyed :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26145: excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26143: good crossovers and the os group made me laugh! I wasn't as keen on the letters- again it's too hard to find a missing word when it involves a big leap- but overall a really good interesting grid, I enjoyed, thanks! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26129: That was unexpected! My husband (French Canadian) says he would use ‘fausse piste’ for a ‘red herring’...:) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26142: Good grid. A Raspberry pi is a little tiny computer. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26141: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26140: Really enjoyed the anagrams esp red herring! Very hard to get missing words when a common prefix has been used- I'll be honest I tend to avoid those words for that kind of group- I am however kicking myself over Inxs! Should have seen that. Overall, excellent, thanks so much for posting it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

david @ #26139: links are too precise projectiles for one group incorrect lock for another incorrect should have 10 but only got 6!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26136: the other two groups also have a couple of possible swaps. Red Herrings need to only travel one way. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Courtney Fish @ #26131: Fairly easy, but great fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26136: Sorry to say that almost all of two groups are interchangeable. You really need just one unique answer for it to be a viable grid- lovely ideas and groups, interesting and different- just the execution. Good effort though! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26134: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26135: very good, lovely theme and allowed for crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26133: Really enjoyed that! Leonard Cohen and Jeff Buckley same song- Leonard Cohen wrote it- fiendish red herrings, didn't get the eponymous link although found the group. Very challenging! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26132: I guess you either know Pokemon or you don’t. I got lost with red herrings on Cup, Man and things that are laid! Found this grid difficult but maybe that was just me (4 years, 7 months ago)

CT @ #26133: Handel, Leonard Cohen and Sean Ryder all have one thing in common! Sneaky on the Cat Deeley group too, great wall! (4 years, 7 months ago)

:-( @ #26142: Raspberry Pi? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jay @ #26139: No Duke Ellington? (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #26116: Agreed - use of Gray is poor form. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #152: grood gid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #190: good gfrid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #23655: My answers footballers, your answer former spurs players who I believe are all footballers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25518: Fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Adrian @ #23675: No french, no chance (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26131: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26141: Nice one. Maybe ‘Material’ should’ve been added (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26138: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26139: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #14884: good puzzle (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26135: Good one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bothyboy @ #26140: Nice trip down memory lane (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26131: Bemused obs - if you like this subject matter then try 25518 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26128: So when you understand golfing terms it makes sense (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26131: Lovely, my kinda grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26128: Break on the green, when you are putting? (4 years, 7 months ago)

mal @ #26038: I'd change co-write ( it really IS hyphenated) but solid otherwise (4 years, 7 months ago)

mal @ #26051: Got this quickly too! Fun though (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26131: very nice! (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: No worries Joe. Only tried it to see if I could make some kind of fist of it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #5633: Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #26128: I'm OK with everything apart from the brake in the golf group. What does break have to do with golf? Was it deliberate to have a complete (and more) group which did not in fact exist? I refer to Brake, Whole, Gripe, Raged and Hold. All of them still form words if you remove the first letter. I spent ages trying to figure out which one was not in the "group". (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #25774: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

e @ #26132: Too easy. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26119: Great idea, enjoyed this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #6961: Yes. Card SHARP! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #5241: Poor (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26120: Stumped me (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26116: Gray is the American spelling (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26129: Sorry it's all Greek to me - well French at least - and my grasp's not good enough - only managed 2 (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26123: It's specifically a word puzzle. Why would pluralising a word be less valid as a correct answer than adding ise? But the thing is, that's just my opinion. I put it politely to the setter. How's your attitude? (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: C'est pour brouiller les pistes = that is a red herring. Figurative speech not translating in this case (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #26124: Liked the wordy one (4 years, 7 months ago)

personalpipe @ #26123: What's BinDipper on about? You could argue on most groups you didn't get the answer right to, on any grid across this site, that "you could add s" and it still be correct in your own tiny mind. It would hardly represent a challenge for a hard grid though would it? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26129: What about "hareng fumé plus fort"? (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: Just my computer by the look of it. It’s sat there looking very confused (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: I’m sure the French version of the AA will respond well to that cry. Your review has now auto-translated but only when you’re looking at the comments from this particular puzzle. On the general comments page it remains in French - unless that’s my computer viewing a cached page. I had to cheat to find the expression for ‘red herring’ in French. Red fish doesn’t hack it. Then the puzzle solution auto-translated it back. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26129: I should have thought that trying to translate MY French back to English would break the internet (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: And now you’re back in French. That’s weird. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: I’m sure the French version of the AA will respond well to that cry. Your review has now auto-translated but only when you’re looking at the comments from this particular puzzle. On the general comments page it remains in French - unless that’s my computer viewing a cached page. I had to cheat to find the expression for ‘red herring’ in French. Red fish doesn’t hack it. Then the puzzle solution auto-translated it back. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26129: Les Poissons Rouges sont formidable! J'apprendre suffisant Francais pour manger les fruits, mais j'étais flummoxé avec les autres groupes qui sont trop difficile pour moi. Je ne peux pas réparer une voiture, mais je peux crier "m'aider! Ma voiture est baisée" très fort. Bien, bon effort, visage souriante et clignotant, et allez oop avec la pouce. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26128: I was enjoying that one Fisty - until the cat puked up half way through it. Sound grid Sir/Madam (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26126: Definitions need some work - also you need to be like your name says (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26128: One group should have liked 'synonyms' - quite good apart from that (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26128: As in life, it was the chicken that got me! Brilliant :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26129: I wasn’t expecting that! The explanation is auto translated (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26124: Good - not too eyebrow - a few more crossovers would be good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mo @ #1396: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26120: Me too- that's why you're getting so many grids! Not much good for anything else at the mo. Sniff! Get well soon x (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26121: yep, sorry, it's a typo (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26124: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26122: I had no problem with hippo- yes it is an abbreviation but is still an easily recognisable animal. I also especially liked the 1901 group, satisfying getting that. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26123: Nice grid Val. Not keen on the word group in that, while what you have is true, so is adding an ‘s’. I don’t think the change is tight or subject specific enough to work ideally. Other than that, enjoyed it. Thank you :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26115: Loud vote for more non-English words/grids here! It can't be trickier than British vs American usage. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26074: So, Mayday, what’s the connection with the names (Elwood etc)? (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26115: Challenge laid down Lorna. A French only, Only Connect grid - I may be some time. Like weeks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26123: The use of tom is bold and clever. I was thinking of Faraday lamp which worked for street. 👍🏻 (4 years, 7 months ago)

bash_snr @ #26117: Glad people liked it. Sorry about the corporal rank, I was tricked by lazy Googling on my part into picking it from a list of what turned out to be US police ranks, not British. Sorry! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bash_snr @ #26116: Apologies if 'gray' was misleading. It is mainly found in American English, not British English. But it could maybe pass as a technicality; Google says that for every 20 times 'grey' is used in British English, 'gray' is used once. It's tenuous but I'm sticking to it :D (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mickeyb @ #26110: Should be Romero. Not Remero. Good grid otherwise (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26115: Maybe because there's no good reason why people should get the 'weights' one, unless you're fluent in one of those languages. I solved the grid, as I got the other 3 groups, and it was obvious it was some word in different languages. It's one thing to know the German for 'red' or 'twelve'. It's another to know it for a word like that. (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26120: Go easy, I have the flu! ;=) (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26116: I wouldn't say sneaky with the 'Gray' one, I'd say plain wrong. (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #26121: I'm with Gaz. That ain't no drib. ;-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #26122: good one salmacis. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Faith @ #8403: First I've completed (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26117: There's no corporal rank in the police force, according to wikipedia. (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26122: How the hell is anybody outside Manchester supposed to get that group? A hippo is not an animal - it is an abbreviation of an animal. Liked the 1901 group though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26119: V tricky, v good! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Faith @ #26098: (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #26123: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #26097: A lot of fun to do, but of course, doing the grids in reverse order makes this quite an easy one to do. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Aquizulis @ #26120: Very nice. Got tripped up by thinking that Food and Good don't rhyme! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Gaz @ #26121: REVAN? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Val Crow @ #26123: Sorry for spelling error (Nicolas) (4 years, 7 months ago)

MaraKenny @ #10899: Loved it. Knew it quickly but struggled on my complete lack of knowledge of knowing Argentum and Atomic Number 50.... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26023: good quiz but r.an out of time Got most of them couldn't distinguish between Irish and Scottish whiskies. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26048: Would not accept dog breed only terriers ?? Never mind it was a good quiz though (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #26090: A nice easy one to start the morning off. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #26119: Simple yet fun. Nice idea!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26119: Really lovely idea, made a bit harder by some slightly more obscure place names, but overall I very much liked it, I'd love to do more in this style. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26120: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26067: Funnily enough, Sillius Bovinus is MY Latin name ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26118: fly in American slang, yes; found that fly can mean arch, knowing or clever in older, English slang. Just liked it as it worked with cricket etc as a red herring (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26117: Superb grid, really exceptional IMO. Totally blindsided by the Hopper group (kicking myself). (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26116: Nice grid thanks, sneaky with the spelling of 'Gray'! 😈 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26118: Nice grid, classic Only Connect. I thought Fly meant cool/hip/stylish. Egypt was a new one on me. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mobi @ #26075: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26115: Maybe... I've also noticed that people don't rate grids highly which include non- English words? I liked this grid but I've started to spot patterns as to why good grids aren't so popular. Agreed it deserves more stars (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26115: Nice grid, thanks. If I was guessing I'd say folks might be taking issue with the town in the ABC group stealing their 10/10. Groups should really connect with their 'lowest common factor', unless there is a connection crossover, which I cannot see here. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26100: Great grid! I thought of so many other possibilities for groups, but not those ones! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26120: This is great, and also had red herrings, which made it harder. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26115: (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26115: Nice easy puzzle. Not sure why it’s slipping down the list with only 3 stars. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26115: (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26112: As Verr says, there isn’t a unique solution and unfortunately that bollocks a grid up more than anything. We’ve all been there :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #25372: Cricket drives is very dodgy imho - square cut maybe but square drive? (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #26050: Sorry but I feel the Stephen King sections are too 'niche' so don't really work for puzzles of this nature. More fitting for a specialist Stephen king site. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26084: Lorna: ha! Always with pinky finger extended just so, one assumes (4 years, 7 months ago)

Budgie @ #24618: nice clues but wording of answers means perfectly good replies are not accepted (4 years, 7 months ago)

Budgie @ #24660: why is road not acceptable? why is close to not acceptable? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Budgie @ #25224: nice one, but pens and pencils are stationEry (E as in lEtters) stationAry as in stAnding (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #8769: Keyword 'contains parts of the head' was incorrect ?! Needs included ? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26111: Excellent grid, very tough. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26084: My lovely Nan, bless her, RIP, once described another elderly lady as unpleasant to share a room with because she was "continental in bed". You have to wonder? One of her many, wonderful malapropisms. :)xx (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26112: Not a unique solution with these connections I'm afraid, Tin and Steel can be swapped in for Aluminium. I liked the Incu entry. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26084: But doesn't continent become what you say it doesn't? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26067: I chucked in laurel as a red herring but I doubt if that will register either! I used to have quite good ID skills on fungi but not enough to trust edibility- even the experts can get it wrong and end up seeing flying elves after a dodgy fry- up! *80}' (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26106: Nice grid - cheers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26117: Great crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bothyboy and dee @ #26100: Very inventive as usual, we really do think you do the best grids - how do you think of them? Keep them coming (no pressure) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bellend @ #26098: Dog shit (4 years, 7 months ago)

Will n @ #8000: Easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

Will n @ #2184: Easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26067: It’s a long time since I did microbiology. As kids there was a type we called a cow mushroom but what it was I dunno. Suillus bovinus though, that goes by the name cow mushroom or Jersey cow mushroom. I honestly don’t think it affects the grid too much unless one is a dedicated mycophile (4 years, 7 months ago)

Will n @ #10577: Easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26082: I liked it, thought it was fine as is. Present tense is consistent and allows the red herring, got the pool items group fine, got meander OK. Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26100: Thought I'd ease you in gently! I tend to try to gradually increase difficulty when introducing a new format, a) to test the water and b) so you get the gist and stand a better chance of success- I'm not entirely nasty! ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26110: nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26106: couple of good crossovers there (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26102: Brilliant (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26101: Nice, especially 'Agin' 😁 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Roxy @ #26109: Good grid and topical! Mathew and Lois are spelled wrong (should be Matthew and Louis) (4 years, 7 months ago)

RBR45 @ #26103: Fake should be allowed.....and also variations of the really hard word to spell! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ferguspuskas @ #26090: excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26082: Crossovers ? - also is lounger a toy? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26110: Nice grid, thanks. You might have missed a trick though: 'Tern' would've been sweet here. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26082: Yeah - I removed the d from executed etc. because the connection is so familiar. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #20928: Irritating when you get all the connections but the programme does not understand the words you use to describe them. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26102: Thanks, I'm learning a lot! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26103: 'Rulers' was incorrect !. 'False' was incorrect !? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rodger @ #26007: US Colleges for #1 wrong ?!? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26106: Enjoyed that! Not too tricky but made me think :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26101: Great! I really like these grids where I get the first 2-3 groups, and then work out the final one(s). Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Geoff @ #26106: Better to distinguish bossy parts or bones (4 years, 7 months ago)

Geoff @ #26101: Courts excellent, vegetables not so much (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26103: Really varied grid, nice. Had to go back thirty years to GCSEs for the Napoleon group. I must have listened more than I thought! Didn’t get the Peter group, the link is true but I would have enjoyed more if the link was a bit tighter. Good grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26100: Excellent! A little trickier than the previous two similar walls, as there could be more than one answer to some clues (holy moly!). Happy to work a bit harder for this one :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26100: Holy moly my undoing. Fab! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #26103: This one seems to have some pretty obvious synonyms left out for the "Henry" and "sham" lines (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26098: Really clever! Enjoyed that :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26097: Outstanding! So clever, 5* (4 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #26097: That was indeed a very amusing neat grid to do! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26090: Super wall! Liked the Fear group :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26088: Very good! I learnt a new type of tea :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26101: 5/5!!! One of those ah- of course! grids. Obscured, not obscure- perfect! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bothyboy @ #26101: Like this one Dee - well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26097: Nice idea, thanks. A lot of fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26088: Excellent grid. Enjoyed very much. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26079: Awwwww, thanks! You're a marmite lover- plenty would disagree with you I'm sure, but I appreciate the appreciation! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26084: Really clever, well done, not going to admit to how many I got but thanks for a great grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26067: Whoops- every day's a school day! Didn't know Alexanders were also called horse parsley! Also not aware of a cow mushroom before- is it the liberty cap- can't find a consensus on one species? Just generic "fungi found in poop" examples! Still, probably better known than cow- frisbee, think that was just our neck of the woods. Really glad you enjoyed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26079: As always very different, and as usual the best on the grid, a brilliant mind, well done lorna (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26090: Nice grid, easy but a good mixture (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26088: Lovely grid- especially the tricksy gas group- great gridding (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26084: I'd quibble with Si- both fine- power of a woman is also a song so recognisable; and if gig can mean concert surely it can also mean performance?!!! I think continent and incontinent can technically be antonyms, but it's a great group nevertheless. Really enjoyed this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jess @ #26068: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #26090: Easy, but fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

ROBERT @ #9207: MMMMMMMMMM NICE (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26067: My kind of grid Lorna. I think Mushroom and Parsley are interchangeable, but you'd generally get away with it. :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26088: Maybe 'films' should be allowed and a few more crossovers would be good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26090: Good - but needs crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26073: Interesting idea, thanks for posting. Significance of 1922? Should 'Virgan' not be something like 'Virgin Islands'? Also 'Coll. of St. Martin' would have avoided the cutoff issue. (4 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #26083: Metre is spelled metre not meter. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #25606: Lol, wyd with post codes! 😁 Cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #25892: Thank you, I think I just rated it 'fiendish' by accident! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #25921: Thank you (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26080: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Si @ #26084: Liked it but would quibble over 'gig' being a synonym of 'performance' - to me it means temporary job or concert. Also, 'the power of a woman' I do not recognise as collocations/fixed expressions like the other 3 might be... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26084: Great grid - enjoyed immensely. Just saw the 'Gap' connection too late. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #26079: Very satisfying (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26078: Oh I should have got the Mill group!! Good grid with a range of general knowledge (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26082: Nice grid. Thanks. Perhaps 'Execute' should be 'Be Executed' to fit the connection? Also maybe something like 'Bob' might be a better synonym than 'Meander', which means to take a winding course. Cheers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26081: Thanks for posting, I liked the 'Adventure' group. The movies connection (surely not 'starring'!) was also interesting. The others I'm afraid were completely lost on me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

KB @ #26079: Great grid, really enjoyed it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26075: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26079: Fun - but took me ages! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26075: Enjoyable, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26051: I was on the wrong wavelength, got the general theme, but failed badly. Great gridding though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26067: Good grid, enjoyed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26064: Monopoly or stations not allowed ? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26078: Nice work, kicking myself for seeing the Clip group too late. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26066: Thanks, very tough. too tough for me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Binky @ #22027: You might want to check your spelling. 'which' is not spelt 'witch'. Ruined the grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26079: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sudo Nym @ #26065: Crossovers and Metals are all good, but 'Astra' should be 'Astro' I believe. Cheers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26074: I found the list of names hardest- I think they're all Tory MP's? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26074: Which one was last for you? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26074: I echo Bob's question, I can't work out the group connection. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26077: Got well and truly stuck; good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26065: Good grid, thanks. And pay no mind to the ill informed! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26063: Very nice wall, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mick @ #26049: Nice wall. I spotted the Doge link early on, which helped enormously! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26062: Top quality, had to wait and name those groups. Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26057: Tough puzzle for knowledge. Maybe some crossovers and/or red herrings is a better way to build in difficulty and interest. Thanks for posting, I did enjoy it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26054: Got the groups but the AW was never going to be a runner. Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26049: Good fun, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26053: V. hard, should've done better. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

MizQuiz @ #26049: 10/10 - really good fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #25610: Absolutely perfect. Thank you! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Science @ #26068: Pewter and brass are alloys, whereas the others are pure metals. (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #25543: Definition of tripe: 'I failed miserably' (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #25551: Is an iceman the same as a snowman? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #25294: Islands succeeds or follows those words and the Zodiac group are astrological symbols. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26052: Nice, beat me. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26035: A very fine grid. Thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26065: Seriously Joe? So, for example, steel is no longer a metal? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26077: As usual - brilliant but fiendish (at least until you spot what’s going on - lots of red herrings in the meantime)! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26075: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26077: Enjoyable but quite easy once you spot the theme (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26065: Lack of crossovers and brass and pewter are alloys not metals (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26075: Loved it. Soft, strong, and very very long ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26045: *enjoyed (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26045: Ennoyed, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #26074: what exactly is the connection for the last group? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26046: This grid is very difficult. Knowledge here is a bit niche. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26064: Thanks, enjoyed that. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nz @ #26068: The Jetson's dog was Astro, not astra. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26063: Terrific stuff, really liked this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26067: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ped Ant @ #26064: Deptford Bridge isn't on the London Underground (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26068: Very nice,I enjoy the car groups. (4 years, 7 months ago)

king @ #26069: Amazing wall dude, i really like it i always watch only connect it's my favorite show right now, and i love this wall!!!! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26068: Couldn’t get the dogs (4 years, 7 months ago)

AstronomerRoyale @ #26057: The satellite of Jupiter is IO (io), not LO (lo) (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26063: Nice! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26063: really very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #26062: Straightforward, but good fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #26063: Excellent gridding! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26055: Very neat, thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #26042: Slightly embarrassed to get full marks...hic... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Camas @ #26064: Found it difficult as I have never played monopoly or been to London. Half way through had a few biscuits and a drink of water and it helped. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26055: Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bothyboy @ #26064: Great first go (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matthew @ #26055: Great stuff. Really enjoy your grids (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26064: Fabulous - great first attempt. Got 2 missed 2. Well done you (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26057: Good grid. I would argue with you about Wessex being fictional! It isn’t a county, but it still exists as a place. We have an Earl, a radio station and everything 😉 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26062: Nice grid. Not too tricky (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26049: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26051: Got this quite quickly - unusual for one of yours! Enjoyed it, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Trash @ #26054: Knew everything sooooooo easy! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #14515: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26051: Clever Grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #242: ed wood? (4 years, 7 months ago)

BigKev @ #26057: Quality board, enjoyed it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26048: Excellent grid, well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Meg @ #26004: :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Yeah No @ #19351: Many possible valid answers for groups: e.g., "violet" group = women's names. Green group = game Simon. This one's a no go for me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #26051: Nice and different (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26011: Good grid, but maybe accept jack as a link (4 years, 7 months ago)

Will @ #25999: First 10/10 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #26034: Excellent grid. Lots of clever red herrings. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26042: I feel thirsty after this (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26049: Really neat. Didn’t know that meaning of mate, so enjoyable and educational! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #26049: Some nice crossovers, was looking for a dog food group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26024: Cheers both, thanks for positive feedback (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26045: Please with myself when I spotted the mayor group! Nice :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lou @ #26021: Completely agree with Bloss's point - silly inconsistencies spoilt this grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26043: Missed two groups but should have got them from Bring Him Peace and Bada-Bing (forgot the origin of the phrase). Fiendish for me, but enjoyable :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26039: Deceptively tricky! Very good, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26029: All fair. I didn’t know Swayne but that’s my fault! Good grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fred @ #26047: Fairly easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26024: Excellent grid! I think Tarantino is misspelt but it didn’t spoil the grid at all :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26044: Carrey might be mispelled btw (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26044: Top notch idea, I was so close on so many but came away with 5/10. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Alex @ #26004: Fun (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26043: Too specialist - no fun for the average Joe (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26038: Great! Had to spot the pattern, then check the links. Good fun :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26045: took me two goes, but I got there! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26038: very hard! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26013: Sorry - I didn't realise until I tried it that I've spelt Tamar wrongly with an 'e' - well spotted Fisty (4 years, 7 months ago)

Big pants @ #26040: Different (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #26010: I was all over it.... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26019: Hard, but good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26016: Apologies- I wrote mine then played this and noticed we have a slightly similar entry, it was unintentional, hopefully mine is different enough for it to not matter? I usually play the whole board before I submit but I missed this one. Glad I found it , very enjoyable. Again, sorry! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #26017: Cheers, I did wonder about the inclusion of Pretentious, its definition doesn't seem to allow it in that group. Nice group with sponge bob. (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #4227: Good grid - fine as a non car enthusiast (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26038: This one's a bit more me- back to my fiendish self :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26009: I just took it to mean "can be" rather than "are" yellow (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26009: I agree jollycorpse, but it still worked for me, this was a nice grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #9921: V easy but great crossovers. Well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #9921: V easy but great crossovers. Well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

Maggot @ #25999: Nice one! But nought means the same as zero doesn’t it? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Logan @ #25875: good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #26009: Hmm, probably should have swapped out tulip for something better, it’s a bit of a loose entry (4 years, 7 months ago)

Magoo @ #26018: Okay effort, boozy, though a little untidy in parts - - avoid duplicate words (it leads to >1 solution and isnt good practice). That wouldve freed x3 spaces for extra clues. I liked the church-related homophones (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26035: I really liked this one (4 years, 7 months ago)

cjn102 @ #26012: Really enjoyed this. Especially the ‘there reflex’ group - gave me a very satisfying eureka moment! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26029: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26021: I really enjoyed this, but I think it would be better if the format were more consistent, at least within groups - eg. the word goes at the end, or whatever. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #25249: Bands not ok? (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26010: theme for the win! I loved how my history of doing your puzzles made me worse at this because I spent too long checking for anagrams.... (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Clown @ #26007: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #26024: Tarantino Cross-overs tricked me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26034: great crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #26025: John mayor? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26021: brilliant but a bit too hard for me (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26012: Lovely, especially the songs line :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26033: Some groups pretty vague and lacking crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26010: It is crap but stupidly sentimental rubbish is what valentine's day is all about! xxx (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26023: Cheers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26010: I loved it (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26012: Really liked the style of this grid. Was sure Be a tit should have gone in the other group! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #26027: Do you mean purple dye? Can a colour be invented? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Martyn @ #25999: Very tricky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #26027: Do you mean purple dye? Can a colour be invented? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26024: Crossovers ? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26024: Sorry but it's just for fun, no overall scoreboard u got the groups (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jaz @ #25982: Loved the red herrings and got 'eat' and the camera one. Didnt get the DiCaprio line but thought it was clever. Sadly didn't understand the last one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jaz @ #26011: Got them all but it wouldn't let me click them... Not at all surprised that there are fish in yours! (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26024: doesn't accept "collective nouns for animals" (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #26025: i wrote "johns"; not accepted. i wrote "wrestlers" not accepted. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jaz @ #26014: Got the Dr Who one and nearly got the beatles one, but don't know my songs well enough! Really enjoyed it! Clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26013: River Tamar forms most of the border between Devon and Cornwall (4 years, 7 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25174: 33 seconds; boom (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #26023: This is probably easy if you're an alcoholic but hopefully a wee drop now and then will help you (4 years, 7 months ago)

MizQuiz @ #26019: 10/10 great wall! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Yve @ #26021: excellent..I failed though k (4 years, 7 months ago)

Stewart @ #26004: Protestant Church? (4 years, 7 months ago)

jms @ #26010: aww xx (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26010: Looking for your grids Jack. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #26013: River tamar (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jack @ #26010: Grids on a single theme are just rubbish. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26013: Nice! Took me longer than I first thought. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bothyboy @ #26014: Tough one (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #26004: Very good! Enjoyed the Queen red herring and very clever to add the real one :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jaz @ #26017: Only managed one - well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jaz @ #26017: Only managed one - well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25999: Ok but no crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #26010: People should respond with 'love it' but its not that great although nice sentiment (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jess and Hol @ #26014: 5th times a charm (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jess and Hol @ #26011: 5/10 would struggle to puzzle again (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jess and Hol @ #25982: 10/10 would puzzle again (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dee @ #26011: Well done bothyboy, not bad (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26010: I know, I know- it's stupidly easy and all of the groups are sore thumbs- I just wanted to do a mushy grid for valentines day! Love to all :) XXX (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jodie @ #25982: Like it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jodie @ #25982: Like it (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jodie @ #25982: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26007: Very good grid. Good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25997: Great, quite easy once you've spotted the link! Enjoyed that :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25993: Didn't get the Spirit group, even when explained! The Tow group was a good one and threw me in several wrong directions :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25990: Typo on Atlantic :) Good grid, took me a while to 'see' the obvious French connection! Thanks for submitting (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25989: Difficult one, very cleverly crafted! Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25987: Good spread of general knowledge, enough crossovers to make it a challenge. Good one, thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #26004: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

yo momma @ #25993: dreadful (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #26005: "Names from trades" seems like a concise and correct answer but marked incorrect ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26007: good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26003: Absolutely- a lot of people do this- mine tend to look harder at first glance than they are- it puts people off. I like "figure out what to do" stuff, but that's just me. I'm a fan of the programme, so I enjoy solving the more conventional ones too. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25984: Bit of a cheat that on my part as its more of an Australian term, but it worked with the red herrings! thank you, as ever :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25968: That orange group is a real fecker (4 years, 7 months ago)

Knight @ #25922: Loved it! Cathedral spelt wrongly though (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26006: I got bogged down in the names. I prefer single words in each box but then I saw Murderous Mary and felt she deserved a place. Dumbo and Co. bit the dust. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26006: Ugh! I don't know what's worse- the mentality behind the act or the mentality behind the people who TOOK THEIR KIDS TO WATCH! Not sure why you don't like your own grid (subject matter?) but as always, very well constructed. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #25942: Nice one. You get an extra star for using one of my favourite films (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26003: I dunno. I just ensure the first letter is a capital and then put other capitals in where they need to be eg. initial of someone's name. I avoid using all capitals unless it's an abbreviation or acronym. But that's just my take on it. People do all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Speaking of weird and wonderful... no worries Lorna. I wish I could say I did more of yours, but I usually open them and close them in double quick time :-)) It's just each to their own tastes isn't it? Stupid to criticise or fall out over it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26006: I'd take one look at this puzzle and not do it. I really don't like it, but on the grounds that people like different stuff I thought I'd stick it up here. (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #25981: I couldn't work out what '/' was substituting for. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26004: Very, very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25984: Very, very clever! And I learnt a new word "Chiack" (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #26003: I quite liked the concept of this- unfortunately for me I didn't know some of the references so found it doubly hard to both decode and stretch knowledge. Good effort, though :) To BinDipper- doubly grateful to you for supporting my prerogative to write weird and unconventional grids, considering you're not personally into them. Wish all had this "live and let live" paradigm! So thanks for being so decent :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25982: I got Eat as part of that group through luck really. Other than that the grid was excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #26004: Enjoyed the obvious red herring! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25981: Clever code to solve the grid, hard enough to work for it, but solvable in 3 mins. Superb! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25977: Wordplay and general knowledge, nicely balanced grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #25982: Couple good groups, with reasonable red herrings. Then the "rince" line which is a stretch to begin with, and really let down by "eat." (4 years, 7 months ago)

Katharine @ #25999: 10/10 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #25999: Woo! First I've done in a while, happy to have completed it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26003: Cheers BinDipper, I think I did the lower cased boxes as ‘a way in’ . Quite new to doing these, maybe not aware of some of the rules. Would you have understood where it was going if I’d put the lowercase group in capitals? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sean Sweeney @ #25999: Love it (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #26003: Hi C4. I haven't scored it because I think it would be a bit unfair of me. I'm not a fan of the 'different' types of grid. I like mine like the TV prog. Just personal taste. However, one thing stands out - the mix of capitals and lower case - it gives one group away and also goes against the one of the few instructions on the site ie. Begin each clue with a capital letter. So not for me I'm afraid. Hope you have more luck with other puzzlers :-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #25999: Oof (4 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #25987: Good concept, not sure about the execution. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #11864: That Australian malarkey is ridiculous (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25999: Nice topical grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #26003: Apologies if you don’t think this works, just thought that I’d try something different. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #25999: Pretty easy, but nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedro @ #25997: Mmm, this seems like a grid from someone else.... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedro @ #26000: Nice Valentine reference on the blue (4 years, 7 months ago)

D @ #25999: That was lethal! Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

jambalaya @ #13910: nice buti owlt dliuke to have un chgallengo next time homie (4 years, 7 months ago)

??? @ #25982: What are we meant to write for the bottom one??? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pol @ #25967: Nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25989: I enjoyed this, thanks, even though the Faraday group connection is way out of my knowledge zone! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Devon J @ #18827: I did this on my taster session - it was fun but hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #25989: Liked the phantom bird group (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25989: Didn’t get close to completing, but nice grid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

art @ #25990: good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Maddy @ #25986: Good one, got it at the last moment! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedro @ #25765: Nice one Lorna. Had a few restarts of the timer but got there eventually :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bert @ #12807: so "found on the head" isnt acceptable and an ear is a facial feature ?? (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25984: a gentler one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25968: The colour rows will always resolve into the same order, whichever order you solve your groups in, so when referring to a group it's better to take a fixed reference (e.g. cite a word) rather than "1st group" or "green group", which will vary each time :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #25967: I liked this one a lot. (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #25968: What the hell is that red group? I don't know even with the explanation. The Blue group is pretty weak as well. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Trev @ #25938: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25983: Was calling hen a typo? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25981: Thanks everyone. Haven't tried garlic dessert- one for Heston, maybe? :) Glad you enjoyed, Jahn. the gist is that the bracketed sections are written as they would be in the word, the caps, numbers symbols are phonetic/ homophones. Hope that clears up the doubt! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #25860: You must have been pleased with this one! Cracking! (4 years, 7 months ago)

steve t @ #25943: extremely enjoyable. Many thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eric @ #25962: The space group doesn't give you points for the words space. Other than that nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25977: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eric @ #25948: It's nice that you tried something like this, but I think it would be better if you used different categories (type, contain numbers of animals, starters etc.) Also groudon is ground type not fire type ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25981: Excellent! Took a while until I got my eye in. Well done. One tiny niggle: ‘pee’ should be ‘pay’ (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25978: Loved this, thank you. The Guttersnipe group was inspired! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25955: Those bicycle clues! Good stuff. (4 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #24807: Passion has 3 s's Good puzzle (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25978: Liked the 'good' group, even though I didn't get it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25981: so fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #19321: True about the interchangeable pair, but I sort of enjoyed that. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nope @ #19321: Honey bun and muffin are interchangeable. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #25981: Not hard once I remembered not everyone is rhotic! Was sure there was gar(rrr)lic in someone's dessert. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #25978: Ooh, love this one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

dave @ #25980: half decent effort but inconsistent prefix and suffix rules lets this down (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25978: great grid, yet again! (4 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #25978: very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #1166: excellent grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #10405: poor (4 years, 7 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #9067: Good puzzle (4 years, 7 months ago)

ajav @ #24159: we love the cryptic style ones please do more we dont mind if you have to refresh the time a couple times we like the challenge! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25938: Sorry- there's not meant to be the first gap in M ana T! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #24159: Its up to you if you want to stick to rules- I'm of the opinion that variety is the spice of life but am also well aware that I'm not for everybody and am not offended if its not your cup of tea- just be aware some do enjoy so tolerate a bit of difference now and then, for those who think a bit more sideways! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25977: excellent! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #8000: Loved the Welsh. Hated the misspelling of Obama's forename. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25964: crafty! :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25960: the wordplay gets a thumbs up (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25955: lovely! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25950: It's probably tiredness but I got "hungry hippos" stuck in my brain and it just wouldn't shift- last minute dash to the finish, all the more fun for it! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25947: nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25944: I thought the groups and refs were fine, jury service technically correct but duty very recognisable and in common use. Hard one this- lots of chasing around. Well done (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25938: Yes!!! Shame about the font- looked better on the submission form- considered capitals for CL but thought it would confuse the format distinction between the soundalike and spelled parts. Also considered Q8- but anticipated the usual backlash about not 100% exact homophones! I I would also have been easier in a slightly different font (distinct from lower case L) but hopefully there were enough dangling carrots to get the gist and the subjects! Thanks, as always, for taking the time to comment xx (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mobi @ #25923: Liked this one. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Douglas @ #25948: Really, what’s the point? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Douglas @ #25973: Oh dear! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25947: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25950: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Martin @ #25964: Good grid but could do with some alternative words for the connections, eg I tried Cereal Crops for the first and gun for the second (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25955: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #25958: Anagrams of secretaries general is a bit tough. (4 years, 7 months ago)

JVIZE @ #25958: Very enjoyable - didn't accept gown as keyword but otherwise some nice ideas (4 years, 7 months ago)

Caz2 @ #2003: Never heard of Cohen as a UK supermarket - maybe a regional one? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #25938: Gutted it wouldn't take "charismatic megafauna." (Naw. Lots of fun!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #25947: Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

SpaceCowboy @ #25929: Yeah, nice idea but as alluded too, New England is a region not a state, and Middlesex ceased being a county in 1965 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dan C @ #25944: I spotted the groups duty, post and he wild but never managed to choose correctly. I think jury duty is fair enough (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dan C @ #25944: I spotted the groups duty, post and he wild but never managed to choose correctly. I think jury duty is fair enough (4 years, 7 months ago)

SpaceCowboy @ #24159: Far too complicated for 3 mins...i agree with Lush, took longer than 3 mins to sort clues out let alone categorise them....shouldn't need multiple goes to sort a grid, very clever i agree, but not much fun i'm afraid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #25955: Clever but tough, only scored 3 :( (4 years, 7 months ago)

Dan C @ #25938: Very good. Kuw 8 could’ve just been Q8 like the petrol stations (4 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #25947: Excellent, enjoyed that, got 10 but struggled to get there (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ballywhos? @ #25921: Pretty easy but satisfying! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rosemary Conquest @ #22686: Vienna most certainly is not in the Alps. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ballywhos? @ #25947: This was excellent!!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25938: Yes, I got II, but I was confused by Cl (4 years, 7 months ago)

SophieZbx @ #25893: It was intentional, just a red herring for nerds 😄 (4 years, 7 months ago)

art @ #25944: It's called Jury Service not Jury duty (4 years, 7 months ago)

Suzeee @ #25866: Blossom spelt incorrectly (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #25922: Rubbish. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #11828: Nice grid. I didn't know the pokemon things. (4 years, 7 months ago)

NickW @ #25934: Thanks lorna (4 years, 7 months ago)

Polyploid @ #25938: Maybe capital L in CL? (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25944: the red herrings tricked me for so long! (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25938: cool, cool! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25860: very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25870: Oooooh so devilish. I'm not good an anagrams so I was a little slow but got all the connections. (4 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #25938: The I I almost flummoxed me, luckily the last category. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25884: A good one to start the morning off (4 years, 7 months ago)

William Pallett @ #13368: Vote Pallett (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25920: Thanks Eddie, wasn’t sure if it was a bit too niche. (4 years, 7 months ago)

david @ #25920: good grid not to difficult (4 years, 7 months ago)

david @ #25921: Good one not too tricky with a few red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25936: There were 2 or 3 red herrings in there but were easy to spot (4 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew Pepper @ #10899: I'm not sure how iron is "our most common element" (4 years, 7 months ago)

JerseySue @ #25938: loved it - great start to my birthday! Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eddie @ #25923: Thanks for the info, Lorna. I’ve heard the weird ostrich noise but didn’t know it was a ‘boom’. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eddie @ #25920: Nice grid, thanks. I’ve toyed with Fleetwood Mac songs but couldn’t make anything as neat as this. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Polpol @ #25920: Nice,think some grids on the other hand are getting a bit too up themselves ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25939: I really love the use of false groups in a grid, especially when they stand out linguistically as a type of word, in this case the plurals. Brilliantly done :) (and my brother showing me an old clip of Hocus Pocus by Focus was a childhood moment of joy!) (4 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #25936: Fun to do, but for me there were no red herrings at all, each group went straight through. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #24159: I'll make some medium some hard some fiendish- for the sake of variety- so there's something for everyone.This site would be very boring if they were all too easy, if you need longer have a couple of goes, no harm. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25937: very well done, lovely. Jumper lead threw me as I've only ever heard jump lead so my brain didn't go in that direction- but made perfect sense when I found the rest of the group, it wasn't a huge thing. Very good :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25936: I thought you'd done what sooooo many do, but it turned out to be a false group and a couple of more novel groups to follow, so I was nicely surprised! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25934: silly, fun, tricksy, novel- right up my street! really not hard but top quality, to me :) (I do love a false group) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25933: very nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25928: So many board games now and I can’t keep up. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25923: 5 star grid- informative, fascinating, well constructed, fun. Thanks so much. If you're interested, male ostriches also boom. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #25925: Straightforward but nothing wrong with that (4 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew Pepper @ #204: The operating systems connection isn't quite valid; Android and Linux are operating systems, Vista and Leopard are versions of operating systems. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #24159: Just make it a little easier, Lorna, and I’ll keep trying. 3 mins is not enough to decipher, let alone categorise! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25919: 5/5 for quality (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #25881: Agreed: lovely but quickly solved. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Goneril @ #25920: Excellent. Thank you! (4 years, 7 months ago)

SF7 @ #22536: Thanks for the feedback re words that should be accepted but this is beyond my control when making a quiz (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25897: Nice work, thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #4736: Just when you're getting tired of members of Queen, up pops Family Guy! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25922: Parts of it are very debatable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #20747: I spotted the sound like animals except for mousse. Otherwise it had me stumped. 👍🏻 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eddie @ #25923: You’re both absolutely right. Blindingly obvious, except to me when I submitted the grid...! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Deb @ #15737: My all-time favorite. Thank you! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Peter N @ #25924: "Joseph" is misspelled. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #20713: Gosh! Hamster is German? Well I never! Good work. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25921: Quite good - but I've seen a very similar one before (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25925: 👍🏻 Just enough challenge - some grids try too hard, this was fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #25923: Could also be 4 vowels, but nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Fisty @ #25925: Easy, but nice grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25921: Nice one, not too tricky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Deirdre @ #25894: Enjoyed that one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Deirdre @ #25895: Good grid. And also right age to recognise the Woodentops! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #3456: 10/10 and with one second left on the clock - the perfect challenge! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25916: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Deirdre @ #25914: Good grid, though homophones group somewhat tricky (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #3757: Nightingale Square. Yes, it exists but why should anybody know of it? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25914: I could have stared at the Dead Mouse line forever and not got it! But enjoyed the grid, thanks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25853: Fiendish indeed!👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Miss Horsington @ #25903: Don't put two of the same number in it! A good grid though! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25913: I’m afraid I agree about the directors’ group. Also, I recommend you check out Dr Feelgood the excellent pub rock 70s band, rather than the mediocre 80s poodle rock album😉 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Nicko @ #204: the crossing types mean little to some Brits too (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25897: Good wall. Lots of crossovers! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25914: Decent wall. I was distracted by my own Hawaii 5-0 (Jack Lord!) for a while 😀 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25906: Fair comment! Not a classic full of red herrings - just about some things I like. Only one sort of crossover in there (the late great Neil Innes of course) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Eyad @ #25903: This made no sense (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25894: Fun, thanks. Probably helped that For Your Pleasure was (coincidentally) playing while I did the grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25916: Good grid! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mitch @ #25906: One of those You Know It Or You Don’t grids; I did it in thirty seconds (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25912: The trees got me - I could see the palm link but not willow as a film (4 years, 7 months ago)

Daz @ #25912: easy but good! No bad ones at all (4 years, 7 months ago)

ahay @ #25875: The Code group. So good. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Looook @ #25913: Good, except blue group is a bit too out there, more hints needed there. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25908: Nice grid. I might quibble about how strong the link is between jewels and vanity (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #25632: 7/10. Britney songs a stretch (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #2732: I don't remember writing that... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ada. @ #2732: Brilliant stuff (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25909: Good grid. Suggest allowing “photo” and not just “photograph” as a linking theme. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Paliotheos @ #25893: I got stuck for a while on this one trying to find a pokemon group, if that was intentional, very well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25895: Good one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25882: Enjoyed this - thank you (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25894: Nice one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25895: I am old enough to remember the Woodentops! This was fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25896: Good one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25897: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25896: Very good crossovers (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25899: Good grid but would be better if your link syntax allowed “d day beach” as correct! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9134: Town connection not good, overrated a little. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CStamm @ #25783: Loved this one - frustrated at the beginning as I thought it was too difficult but then spotted the links... (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lush @ #25892: ?glitch. Just stating ‘test’ for 3 categories. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25882: Very enjoyable ‘old-school’ grid, thank you. (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #25882: Top gridding, from the top gridder (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #25863: Didn't like this because too many of the Ibia group are either not words or are too obscure to act as functional herrings. Maybe if you widened the net to include all body parts you could include Hear, or Foo, or even Boom- which would be easier to hide. (4 years, 7 months ago)

DanC @ #25895: Got the groups but didn't know the Woodentops so 7/10. Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

WTF @ #25892: (4 years, 7 months ago)

Est @ #12491: Liked it. Didn't get the blue group's connection. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25872: Left me very confused. Entertaining, but tough. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25874: Fun trying to solve, but too tough for me. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #25870: That was fun! Head was spinning for first minute trying to adjust to the format (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25876: Very tough, but well thought out. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #25877: Sorry to hear this Ragnar, genuinely thought I had covered all bases. I'm curious to know what you had put for the other three for future reference. The connections are all quite specific so wasn't too much to consider with keywords (4 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25877: Excellent, well constructed and very clever, well done! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9107: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9086: Great grid. Top notch. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9074: I waited, 7/10 with bated breath for that last magical connection that had eluded me... and it turned out to be bloody railway stations.😒 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ragnar @ #25877: Wonderful connections. Keywords could be more generous (I got 1/4 though I knew all four.) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25877: Amazing! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25875: good red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25876: too hard for me! clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

Rory Harrison @ #25696: (4 years, 7 months ago)

watch only connect @ #1396: Everyone that says "Having something that fits more than 1 category" is a moron.. that's the whole point of the connecting wall... watch the show up on You Tube... If all of the items had exactly 1 group, the walls would be simple and pointless (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25870: a fun easier one (4 years, 7 months ago)

Paliotheos @ #25873: I agree on that point, I think I might just re-make this one in a couple of days. I have thought of a couple of ways I can create a unique grid while preserving the red herrings (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25873: That swap would work in giving a unique grid - shame to lose N. Carolina though because that’s your red herring for the States group which adds to the grid’s quality. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25875: Nice one! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #25875: Enjoyed the grid! Put together neatly Damn those red herrings! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25873: that's a shame cos its a great grid. Wish we could edit these (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25874: Thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25820: :) :) :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Paliotheos @ #25873: Ahh, god dammit, you are totally right. Just looked it up an my memory had failed me on the front. I wish there was a way to edit a grid so I could swap North Carolina with Iowa, but alas. (4 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25873: Hi Palio. I love a grid that's loaded with a particular subject material. The only trouble with doing them is that it becomes difficult to keep a unique solution. Some time ago I attempted what you've done here with the same 2 groups and I couldn't do it. I THINK you can swap North Carolina with Texas or Alabama here and the grid still works - so that would mean non-unique I'm afraid. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Paliotheos @ #25874: I really enjoyed this one, that may be because this is one of the first ones I have managed to fully solve though. But I thought It had a really good balance of relatively obvious ones to get you on the path of groups and ones which are hard to unpack. Ended up finishing with 5 seconds to spare so for me, it was perfectly balanced time wise as well. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25874: Disclaimer- this one is an extra fiendish, it was made by request- if you find it frustrating, my apologies, I'll mix up some hard and mediums tomorrow :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25872: Sorry - but one of the 'Goods' should have been 'Water' Lorna - etc,etc saved me a lot of typing (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25870: I agree with you but I get so many complaints that they're too hard! I may do some extra fiendish soon- screw it! ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25824: You're right about brisling, but bristling also fine- both alternative names for a sprat. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25862: I'm glad you did- it was ok! I don't know Jake but doesn't matter as they're still places in GM. Games were more obscure to me! (not to most, though) good grid, deserves a place on the main site as much as any :) Do have another go (4 years, 7 months ago)

UrsaMedium @ #25870: Interesting concept, but easy to solve once you've worked out the categories. A few red herrings next time would make it a real challenge. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25850: Not too difficult, but very clever and very circular! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25849: Great use of a false group- I didn't spot it at first so was lucky! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25872: Lovely! etc,etc made me chuckle for some silly reason! Enjoyed that muchly :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25864: Very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25864: Nice one. Not too hard. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25871: Good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25869: I quite enjoyed that but I didn't know enough! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Karen Fesop @ #25862: I accidentally made it public, thought I had made it private. Don't know how to delete. Sorry (4 years, 7 months ago)

Polly @ #25824: I think it should be brisling not bristling, (4 years, 7 months ago)

mal @ #25862: Dunno who Jake is, don't care. I hate ''vanity'' grids (4 years, 7 months ago)

Polly @ #25860: Very nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Polly @ #25860: Very nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25867: Top work!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #25849: Missing S at the front was a false group I didn't intend.... (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25860: tricksy! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Judith @ #10577: easy (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25844: Yeah, I can guess which one!! Sorry- I had my reasons for including it. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25866: Good choices of groups to allow for crossovers, especially the political logos (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #204: Clever! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Bazo @ #8387: Very good indeed ;-) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mss Ng VwLs @ #25844: Nicely done! One of the categories too niche for me unfortunately as is often the case (4 years, 7 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25850: The answers are all there - very good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25820: Hi Cypriot, thanks for your considered and balanced input. I just wanted to clarify that I initially got involved in this because criticism WAS getting personal- comments such as "are you autistic?" and "Lorna, I generally do skip most of your puzzles, but it seems lately well over half of the puzzles published come from you. Skipping is fine, but skipping 50% gets a bit tedious" cannot be viewed in any way as constructive criticism and are not welcome. I do appreciate the tone and nature of your response to this ridiculous dialogue, it is much more constructive feedback. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25815: Thanks, Laura! I'm sorry that I'm a bit too British sometimes, I try to keep subjects universal; now and then I'll add a grid on something closer to home- but hopefully there are plenty to choose from! ;) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25864: Brilliant, and I'm glad you weren't put off your stride :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25863: Great wordplay (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25834: Clever and fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25844: Another Great Wall! (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #25863: Excellent grid, very enjoyable (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mixu P @ #25863: Fiendishly hard. Well done. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Laura @ #25815: Sometimes Lorna's puzzles frustrate me because of how little british pop culture I know, but otherwise they're great - the most consistently good ones I find in the new feed! I'm very grateful for the rate of output. This one was particularly fun. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25840: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

Craig Hendry @ #25863: Solved the wall but my usual poor anatomy knowledge let me down with the link. (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #25860: Very good grid, some of your best work. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25850: Excellent (4 years, 7 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #25820: Fair enough. Speaking just for this grid, the grid creators group would've been taxing enough with just the names but hidden in word combinations! Wow. You can call me al group doesn't totally make sense but I would say it's the best connection in this grid. The group of 'groups in this grid' has been done before which is not a criticism, being a 'strectch' of a connection is, I cant remember many crossovers if any. Speaking just for myself, I like it when I make a connection or a connection is revealed to me and I think 'ah, that's clever,' even if I didnt get. Now obviously each person has different knowledge and different preferences which make each persons experience with a grid 'individual', I think the cause of negative feedback here is not solely aimed at this grid but an accumulation of grids from several users where the focus seems to be on quantity not quality. Dont take negative feedback too personally (4 years, 7 months ago)

MoBi @ #25694: The homonymes Shaun and Mode only work if you use or are aware of an English accent. This affects quite a l f people eg American and Canadian, many Africa and W Indian, many Scots and Irish. I have friends who struggle with this so it might be something you can think bout? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9050: Cooper is not a type of ship. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9038: Grape as a shade of purple is a bit weak. Otherwise OK. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25824: Sorry about synonyms - but I've just tried anagrams in the correct group and it worked OK (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9035: Hard to follow the hoppy clue with the sidenick typo. (4 years, 7 months ago)

jagwkssataa @ #25858: hope you didn't die linken this wall! sorry. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9021: Nice. Also with the cheddar. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9014: Band last names not accepted. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25849: Did green group followed by 'up'. And was confused by a non-existent group with 's' added at the start. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #25828: SMH. Just too good (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25852: Nice! Slightly more challenging and I love the double up. Loved STP. Good grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25850: That was easy, fun and nice, good mix of subjects and I like this style, it's clever. (4 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #25821: Very interesting! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #25848: Neat (4 years, 7 months ago)

Esq @ #25850: Generous! (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25847: I enjoyed this, I liked the fact that two groups were similar in meaning (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #25820: Thank you, Ade. Glad you liked it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25821: Different! Really enjoyed that one, thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #25820: Just to say I really enjoyed this wall. It made me smile. Thanks (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25841: You got me with anchor! Clever (4 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #2082: Whisky should have been spelt with an e (4 years, 7 months ago)

Donuts @ #25818: I liked the HG group. The single words from groups seemed a bit spurious as a group. Can you add palindrome to the rotor group too (4 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #25824: Wouldn't accept synonyms for the parts group. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #25821: Innovative! straightforward once you see it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #25818: didn't work for me at all I'm afraid. the Ulpa group aren't words, Mercury and quicksilver are basically the same thing, Rotor group is done to death. The other group is kind of ok... in isolation, but it doesn't tie in with the rest of the grid, because there's no potential overlaps. 2* feels generous (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #25828: Yep, it was good!! (4 years, 7 months ago)

GG @ #25820: Lorna - you get involved in everything, you cant help yourself (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25840: Brilliant - love the PS references, great crossovers. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25838: Wow! Killer crossovers. You got me! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #25796: Not a bad grid with a couple of crossovers but Not knowing how to Spell Laos is a big error. (4 years, 7 months ago)

GG @ #25820: Lorna - you get involved in everything, you cant help yourself (4 years, 7 months ago)

GG @ #25779: Majority of Withnail takes place in Penrith, not London (4 years, 7 months ago)

Ade @ #25800: How do you even know these things! (4 years, 7 months ago)

Keir H @ #25820: Wow, this escalated. To address everyone involved in the fray: Bob - Yes, I am autistic. And if you want me to improve on my walls, I need more criticism than “that was bad”. If you don’t and was just being spiteful, you come across as childish. TooCleverByHalf - See above. If you want me to get better, then the most you can do is give me some helpful feedback. I wouldn’t put “helpful feedback” in the same boat as “scathing comments”. Lorna - Everything that she’s said makes up the whole crux of my point. A thanks to her for being a decent person. Hamster - I guess name-dropping other users is self-serving from some point of view, I honestly just meant it as a meta touch. But you can make of it whatever you want. Just know that clashing heads with everybody and spouting non-constructive nothings does you no favours. I’m not asking anyone to grovel at my feet any time I make a wall, note that I’m taking my criticism from people who can actually give it. Not those who keep fruitlessly spewing negativity out of pure hatred, or just to try to tick others off. I have to say to these people Remember these sage words: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Which is basically a kind way of saying: Shut up, you plebs. - Keir H (4 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #25825: very enjoayable (4 years, 7 months ago)

jim @ #25828: a return to form (4 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #25828: Like this one - tricky to remember the combinations ! (4 years, 7 months ago)

MooCow @ #25828: Cool and hard (4 years, 7 months ago)

Mick @ #25820: Hamster, ToooCleverByHalf, bob- being nasty to KeirH and got called out for it- fair. Hamster nasty to Lorna too. Why comment if all bad? You all should apologise. Good grid, I got the groups, no trouble (4 years, 7 months ago)

Donuts @ #25828: Liked that one, it didn't feel too fiendish, I think I just got into the zone but then before I knew it there was only 20 seconds left. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25820: Oh I didn't see Bob's comment about it being bad. He's right though. (4 years, 7 months ago)

bloss @ #25828: yay (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25815: Touchy. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25820: Read below. And bob has asked Keir if he's autistic. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25815: Please do skip me and don't comment any more. Plenty of people like mine. I'm not for everybody. Should I stop making grids just because you don't like them? Is that seriously what you're saying? Who's being self indulgent? My reply to ALL critics on this website is- set your own. Have a go yourself. If there's something you want to see, make it happen. Don't have a go at those who try. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25820: Pretty sure I'm the only one who said anything negative about this one. No need to invent pitchforks. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25820: I'd reply to that with: although Keir has given a nod to other setters- our names are clearly visible on the site for all to see- it was a test of observation- I've used site details as a group myself. I'm not taking it personally- this is not my grid! I just get hacked off when certain folks' only input is raw criticism, or when a group all criticise one grid- it's a bit too pitchforks and torches for my liking- criticism seems to attract criticism. Some people (TCBH) are just plain nasty- nothing constructive or improving about that. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25815: Lorna, I generally do skip most of your puzzles, but it seems lately well over half of the puzzles published come from you. Skipping is fine, but skipping 50% gets a bit tedious. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25820: Lorna, the only people who'd be able to get a group of grid creators are the creators themselves. It's very self indulgent. If you're going to make so many grids, you've got to expect pushback on this kind of thing. Don't take it personally. (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25816: That's the plan, Pedro! The "catch on" moments are what make it more satisfying, to me. Really glad you enjoyed :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Pedro @ #25816: I like how it looks impossible but once you catch on, it's a race against time. (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25826: I learnt a new car manufacturer! Good, thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25799: Clever. Hotblack! Too soon :( He’s spending a year dead for tax reasons. Got mixed up with iron (cross) hair and move (over) do, which would have worked in the groups. Nice grid :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25824: didn't except anagrams ??????? (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25798: Great variety. Maybe one too many crossover clues? Really good grid though, thanks :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25827: DEEPLY quizzy! A lot of work in this, interesting and factsy- Kicking myself over RHCP :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

salmacis @ #25826: Roobarb and Custard, get it right! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25797: Superb grid! Deceptively layered. I lost points for using “synonym” as the connector, but really enjoyed that :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25711: Wise up you lot get with the program. This was a good quiz but I would have got 10/10 if 'd not ran out of time (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25826: Nicely done- forgot about Azrael and wasted time looking for Phillip Pullman! Great wordplay (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25824: Nice, fun grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25753: Good grid for this time of the morning. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25752: simple quiz. But as Jonboy said it's a straw poll (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25796: Very good. I got lost with famous Simons but enjoyed that (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25816: 👍 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Jahn @ #25821: Fun! (4 years, 7 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25788: I got lucky with some guesses, then got found out with the links. Apparently “they sound like something medical. That one’s an antibiotic I think” is not a precise enough answer :) Clever grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25817: bob- my daughter is autistic. What's your point? (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25820: I try not to be mean on this site but I will comment if I think that armchair critics are getting a bit over the top- if you don't like it don't play it. Or make your own. Criticism is the death of creativity- if you want good grids, be kind and encouraging. Constructive criticism aids growth mindset but this is just bitching. Keep going Kier Lad, 15 yrs old but one of the best setters. :) (4 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #25820: Wow. where is numberWang when you need him. Require a decent grid (4 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #25817: are you autistic? (4 years, 7 months ago)

bob @ #25820: that was bad (4 years, 7 months ago)

lorna @ #25815: Yep- my prerogative, Hamster, as I go to the trouble of making them. And I'm MORE than happy to see others use the formats I've come up with. (I do occasionally do original style ones). If you want to see more grids that are exactly one format, not deviating from the norm- write some! This is as much a fun mental exercise for us setters as it is a free service we're providing to you. Try to enjoy, it's only fun- if you can't, skip it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9008: Cut loaf got me, never heard of it. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #9006: Nice (4 years, 7 months ago)

Roxy @ #25822: Fun, even though I only scored a 4 (4 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #8996: Arcane (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25796: Why would you not resubmit if you made a typo? (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25815: I think these are getting a bit distant from the original style. (4 years, 7 months ago)

Hamster @ #25820: Getting a bit self indulgent. (4 years, 7 months ago)

chupac @ #12698: Good theme, but some mistakes: It's Freddie, not Freddy. The game isn't over until check mate, not on check. (4 years, 8 months ago)

corey @ #583: rather quick one (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25821: Getting into the swing of this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jime @ #25798: Great quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25821: Before anyone complains about this one- you're lucky to have it- we had a power cut! Had to wait for t'internet to stop hiding. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25820: I'm honoured! And I had no idea you were Julie Andrews. I love the humour, and surrealism of this grid- I feel like I went to lean on the 4th wall and it wasn't there! I'd have given you 5 anyway, honest (without the name drops!) (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25820: very fun grid though :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25820: The shame - I didn't even get my own group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25815: Nice easy one but they're so fun to make! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25816: Yeah- I can't be evil all the time- I'm running out of eye of newt ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25817: Yeah- I was worried about x,y,z... Glad you're still with us :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25815: Really enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #25817: Yup. Still not dead. But just to be clear, the alphabet walls are. They are EXCRUCIATING to make, so, RIP. (4 years, 8 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #25815: Right up my street 🎬 (4 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #25174: One group only but was close to the fourth when time expired. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25800: Ouch. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25815: Cinephiles rock...easy peasy. ;-\ (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25816: next level! Although I think the mash-ups across clues actually make finding the groups easier sometimes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25816: Slow down Lorna!.....another goodie. '-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25797: You rock (4 years, 8 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #25779: Not a Southerner, gutted I made that mistake on a class film, now realising how I made the mistake, originally went for films in the North, changed to Yorkshire, not realising I’d left Dead Man’s Shoes in there, a film buff hanging my head in shame. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25815: super simple (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25815: Welcome to the site David, thanks for commenting! (4 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #25815: My first grid. Medium difficulty! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bringonthewall @ #25795: Seriously, they’re called collective nouns. I don’t often comment about the criteria, but there is no better way to describe the clue group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Graham @ #10577: Quite easy. Took 30s, no wrong guesses. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25813: nice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25788: Hi Kay- what did you put? (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25815: fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25814: good cross-overs (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25777: I meant either end- I thought "outside letters" might sound confusing. End has more meanings than "finish"- a rope has two ends? Makes zero impact on the game or the points, it's just the explanation. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25814: Great grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Intellex @ #25779: Clearly made by a southerner.. Dead Man's Shoes was set in Derbyshire. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25813: Brilliant! (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #12: Too easy but great for beginners (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25797: Very nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Deb @ #12375: Didn't accept theatres. (4 years, 8 months ago)

n @ #25777: it's not the end letters, it's the start+end letters. pah. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kay @ #25788: Good grid, but make acceptable answers a bit more inclusive (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25800: Tricky but very good. Has the desirable ‘ah I should have seen that!’ factor. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MoBi @ #25698: Good one. Thank you (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25756: Clever, but very easy if you have seen this system before (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25755: The hardest group was probably the animal name meanings- I used river horse (hippopotamus) and cane eating cat bear (panda) as the hook links for this group as these are the ones most people will have heard (they were in my daughter's animal facts book) the others were there to be searched for, you have to think a bit to see what could fit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25757: Good grid. Was a bit stumped on 2 types (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25755: Which one was first for you? It's different each time you play! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25801: The effort shows, it's intelligently done and a lot of fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8995: I enjoyed this one a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MoBi @ #25755: First clue impossible for most. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MoBi @ #25755: First clue impossible for most. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25800: I struggled! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8984: I personally disliked the rose rosa idea. The rest was awesome though. Those answers supposedly not working worked fine for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25801: Thank you! I am so pleased with this one. All 16 could be in one group. I had to leave out 8 of the 24 Tales. The Wife of Bath, The Canon’s Yeoman, The Second Nun and the Nun’s Priest may have given the game away too soon. Sir Thopas and Melibee are subjects of the Tales not tellers. Just left the Pardoner and the Shipman. 😀 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Em @ #25789: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kenty @ #19531: Please get spellings correct (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25788: Knowledge of medical terms made this a cinch (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8940: A bit too much word play for my taste. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25789: I thought ‘rabbit’ for frou-frou and run! When revealed I saw the clever links (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25791: Cleverly done 👍🏻 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25801: great crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25793: 👍🏻 Spotted two jellies but got stuck (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25797: Sorry! Didn’t see it had posted. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25797: I got ‘hooked’ looking for fishy clues that didn’t exist! 👍🏻 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25797: I got ‘hooked’ on finding fish which didn’t exist! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25799: Puzzles within puzzle - nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #25799: Not as difficult as Lorna suggests, but a good puzzle which gets you thinking. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Poohbear @ #25757: Nice grid - enjoyed the theme (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25799: thanks Lorna :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Poohbear @ #25774: Love this grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25799: 5/5 loved it! Difficult, ashamed to say I took 3 goes! I got stuck thinking perfect joy- joy stick! Really fair and obvious once you get it, just good well chosen groups. Cannot fault it, full points! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25659: fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25702: fun grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25799: Lorna - this is one for you! Hope it is not too much. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25742: Blake's 7! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25780: The Peter Green group is particularly amusing. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25791: Excellent. Great overlapping possibilities. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25658: Dan -it says MOVED, not REMOVED. They are indeed anagrams, but specifically they are unadulterated but for the position of one letter only. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bob @ #25796: loas? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25795: Collective nouns !! (4 years, 8 months ago)

puzzlywuzzle @ #25796: spelling error: "laos", not "loas" (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25796: Loas is a beautiful place. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Paliotheos @ #25782: Yeah, there a couple which can be swapped around and still work Ruby with Saphire and Emerald, Red with Blue (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25774: good one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25779: Good for film buffs (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25782: sapphire and ruby can be swapped? (4 years, 8 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #25792: Nice Grid 🤟🏻 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25792: One typo - should be 'a' not 'e' on end of Santana (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: My therapist says my issues stem from my profound love of the sound of my own voice. I think I'm the Messiah, but in fact I'm just a naughty girl (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25743: Nice grid! "Hair" maybe not as firmly in its group as the rest? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25764: Harder than it looks! "Raver" a lovely trickster; took me ages to separate it from another group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25744: Ignorant American here, had never heard of anything referenced in the group with "vision." (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25747: Gorgeous red herrings! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25783: Fun! Quite easy once you spot what's happening. Perhaps surprisingly, it was the terrier that got me there. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #25658: These are anagrams, not one letter removed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25789: Nice, that was fun :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25766: Hi- sorry about that- no the box you see has nothing to do with accepted terms, there's a separate part of the submission form in which I try to include as many terms as I can, but they can be hard to check through as they can become hidden so you have to awkwardly scroll through. But it was possibly the result of a (cut and pasted) typo so apologies- hopefully you still enjoyed even if it didn't give you the points? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fusspot @ #25766: Doesn’t accept cycled . Presumably as you’ve no space before the dash. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: I'm Lorna and so's my wife (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: Will the real Lorna Please Stand Up? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: ok, sorry. I guess I'm a bit of a douche who needs to grow up a lot, I'm just attention seeking- I can't help it. I think it may be because I was breast- fed until I was 8. (4 years, 8 months ago)

ConnectFour @ #25780: Caught me out with the ‘band changes’ connection. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rodders @ #25624: What you are looking for is ‘outlaw’... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: Stop imitating me (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25780: Hi this is just something a bit different- a one subject quiz; if it's not to your taste apologies, it's more for people into this sort of thing. More varied puzzles coming up! (4 years, 8 months ago)

x @ #25761: so what's the connection with the ardiles group? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25768: Unfair criticism. Fine grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #2954: 👍🏻 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Spencer @ #25775: (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25774: Really well done, great construction and fun, nice mix of subjects. top marks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25750: Just trying out the true or false grid idea- the hard part is that it's new so folks may not spot what they have to do, but I'm hoping I'm leaving enough loose ends to get a handle. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25755: Sea star is another name for a starfish- if I'd used starfish the entire group would have ended in fish, which would have stood out too easily. Thanks for your comment :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Spencer @ #25768: Extremely poor (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #25767: Very poor grid. Also Merkel isn't a prime minister. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jime @ #25750: Got me. I thought the false facts group was true and vice versa (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #25755: Great! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #25755: It's greet! But I don't understand sea star, not fish? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #10114: Hyndburn is not a town! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25755: Thanks for such lovely feedback! I'll try to do another grid like this for you :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #8199: Sorry but Surprise doesn’t work for me (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25747: Clever grid - (but what Cariad said about the extra B) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25764: Tricky until you spot the i (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8896: Never heard of most of these "coffee types". A sheltered existence I guess. Sigh. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8890: A very fine grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25730: not a bad attempt, shame about a couple of typos but I enjoyed it despite, clever to include Red Dwarf (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25744: Good, liked the wordplay (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25697: I made sure that the missing words (*) would be sufficient as I thought it might be hard to define! Glad you enjoyed it :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25764: *Link- so easy to mistype!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25765: e7odie, you inspired me to have another go at one of these. Love this format, really makes you tighten up your writing. Hope you enjoy :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

eagle @ #25756: too simple imo but good job wouldn't mind this gimmick for one of the sets and then other connections for the rest (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25764: Blah- That is the likn for that group- perhaps you mistyped? Zippo- No, they're the whole point. Ridiculously easy grid without them. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25755: Oh, but it's so beautifully sideways. And it made me laugh. Might be my favorite ever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

blah @ #25764: You might want to expand the criteria for the water category to include 'water'. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #1708: love this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Zippo McMurty @ #25764: All the i’s for a’s add to the puzzle but are irrelevant (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25647: Hi Laura- Red Hot Poker (flower) may be the common British name- Latin is Kniphofia. It's also called tritoma, torch lily, knofflers or poker plant. Thanks for commenting! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cariad @ #25747: Good grid. Need to remove the 'b' from the 'culeadboard' clue? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25608: Hi Laura- Sit coms: Red Dwarf, Blackadder, Rab C. Nesbitt, The Young Ones Bands: Ultravox, Spandau Ballet, The Cure, Adam and the Ants Films: the Karate Kid, the Goonies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ghostbusters Kid's TV: Byker Grove, Henry's Cat, Knightmare, Dangermouse Mostly very British, sorry! Thanks for commenting :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25755: Wow, that's really kind! I wasn't sure if this one would work, as there aren't really true or false grids on here so people might not know what to do! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25747: I'm exactly the same Pedro. I love the novelty of this grid and will look out for yours in future. I'll definitely have a couple of tries! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: Again with using my name- we need a log in system!!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dickhead @ #1875: The car rentals group was the only one I knew, so I must be a dickhead too! A clever grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25757: quality (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25756: Ha Ha! You did it! This is AWESOME!!! I'm a happy bunny :) :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #17624: Chill out folks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #25608: these quizzes are cool, but it would be great if the answer description included each separate solution. As a non-Brit, some of these I just can't get even knowing the gimmick, and I'm curious! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy @ #14282: I love reading about Bible 'personnel'. Also, Brian Ferry isn't a river crossing, And also, I would say they are ways of crossing water, not rivers specifically. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25751: Easy but Interesting . Quite difficult to include crossovers though (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25750: Ridiculous and Pointless (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #25624: never heard of "law out" as a phrase, didn't find any results for it either... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bushy @ #25638: I got the sequences quite well but not sure of the connection or maybe didn't write the correct words you used. Great game though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #3757: Really enjoyed this one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #685: Didn't get the 'wall' but should have. Nice quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #683: Really enjoyed this one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #25647: never heard of the type of flower so that clue for red hot really sent me away from the answer. still a neat quiz though! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25752: Grid is OK but it is a straw poll, not pole. Also the connection definitions need to cover more options. Didn’t allow “bird” for one group or “nought” for another. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25750: Fiendish indeed - but v clever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25751: Lovely! Easy but fun. I've been trying to find groups of 4 words which cycle back on themselves- I've managed one grid like that but now I keep getting stuck! Didn't think to use word pairs- great idea. Maybe you could have a go at fully cyclic groups? (just a suggestion) as you've got a real knack for this! Really enjoyed it, well done great grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25755: Perfection! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #25754: Alas, a typo (Charybdis). Also there are multiple other answers that fit for the group containing "wedding." (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amanda Duff @ #17624: I wrote drinks as the connection, but it was brands of soft drinks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pedro @ #25747: Thanks Lorna. I like to do the fiendish ones that encourage out of the box thinking and maybe require a refresh before the answers are revealed to give me double time. This is my third effort so hopefully they are getting better. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #25669: Once I saw the Captain Planet group, I knew it immediately! Couldn't piece it together, but still fun to recognize after. (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25741: Celebs and Jamie Oliver !!!! no thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25742: nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #25690: full house! fun clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #25697: Had a hard time figuring out how to phrase the links because this was my first mashup quiz, but it was really fun! thank you!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25726: 7/10 I couldn't get the connection for the Millsy group but it was obvious when I saw the answer. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #445: Won/one confused me as these are not homophones in my accent! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25747: Some incredibly clever ideas in here- rather a lot to do, but then I set grids like that too! Bit hard to untangle the elements especially if it takes a while to work out why - I only saw it after it resolved. Doubly fiendish to have de- codes and red herrings (or lookalikes at least) in the one grid, but obviously a lot of work, thought and ingenuity went into this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SCow @ #25747: Loved it, best one yet! A bit easy though (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25741: Good grid. Lots of red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25740: Got the films immediately, but the other three groups were unguessable. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25006: Robot chicken? (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25006: Robot chicken? (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25744: I'm never too fond of connections which involve adding or subtracting letters, and this grid has two of the blighters. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25005: There were no red herrings where there's a clue that can fit in another category. These are quite specific. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25745: Solved this in record time, I think! And then I couldn't get the Blue group as I've never watched it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25003: Too easy to find the groups but the connections didn't do it for me. Who is sasha? I put babies thinking it was things a baby does. Not enough red herrings, in fact none at all. Never heard of pete the cate (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25000: I put animals not pets (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #24999: I would have preferred the red herrings of the Microsoft Office packages to be a group, not just a red herring (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25743: *Dalmatians - sorry (4 years, 8 months ago)

Karen Fesop @ #25739: Nice grid, enjoyed it even though I missed one connection. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Liam Millsy @ #25726: shite (4 years, 8 months ago)

ste @ #8355: VERY. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25726: Complete waste of time - maybe that's the point your trying to make (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25731: Needs work - didn't like ice cream or African cities (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25728: Didn't like much - need to be a couch potato (4 years, 8 months ago)

da police @ #25724: drug dealing scum (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25736: I wish there was a 'report' button to remove this sort of rubbish. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #25730: I think the last group should be planets not plants! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25730: Please do better with the solutions - element, space and cat should be accepted. Also, the Milky-way is not *in* our galaxy, it *is* our galaxy. And how is galaxy in the galaxy? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25709: very enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phil @ #25717: Very odd answers to this wall (4 years, 8 months ago)

your mum @ #25717: you were a mistake (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bobster @ #25658: Yeah, it was aight I guess (4 years, 8 months ago)

JustForFun @ #25711: Well it was Just For Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25704: Ewww (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25712: Beat me....some pretty specific knowledge needed tbf, but enjoyed it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25705: No mark??? Tough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25705: Animal group is waaaaay too vague (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rodders @ #25672: Agreed. The trouble with Adam Sandler films is that once you’ve seen them they cannot be unseen. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fritzaps @ #25711: Not to tricky but still fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25712: I suspect people will easily solve this grid, but I don't know if the connections are too hard. Please let me know ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25710: Excellent. Luckily I knew the songs and that helped reduce the other groups. Nice medalling with my head. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fritzaps @ #25709: A good fun grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25709: Another top one from Rodders! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25710: Should be nice and easy this one. I could have made it more fiendish, but I like grids to have a "way in". (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25694: Had an air of crudeness about it until the groups were resolved. Guessing that was deliberate, but nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25709: Bit too easy but fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #25667: :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lush @ #25706: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25704: agree both spoons and bowls....bad entries (4 years, 8 months ago)

RCH @ #13493: Best president ever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25703: Grid isn’t too hard to solve but the Episode IV link is hard. Thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jj @ #25681: very good, lots of red herrings. Except Psycho didn't work, darned autocorrect! (4 years, 8 months ago)

julian @ #25694: Completely forgot about David Niven in Casino Royale. very nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #25704: stop moaning about "crockery" ppl, it let me have "kitchen equipment" I guess bowls would be played out the back of the pub? I've usually seen it played on parks though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #25703: Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up. We're goin' in, and we're goin' in full throttle. STAR WARS FTW also nice red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

blah @ #25698: What JT said (4 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #2661: Homophones!!! not -nyms! good though! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25693: The rest of the grid was ok (4 years, 8 months ago)

Esq @ #25700: Yep. Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25693: There is an evergreen variety of birch, but true birch is a deciduous tree; "The Evergreen Alder or Toorak 'Gum Tree' Alnus (Alnus jorullensis) was first marketed in the early 70's as the Evergreen Silver Birch" Bit of a stretch? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #25704: Spoons are cutlery (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25698: Loved it...but no full house ;-( (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25697: Loved it, Full house. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25704: Bowls, at a pub? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ezzer @ #25693: Birch? Evergreen? Don't think so (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25697: Thanks Joe- that's what I'm going for with most of these. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25698: apologies- just tested and you're right it doesn't work- must have made a typo but can't edit, sorry (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25698: they're both in the accepted terms! should have worked? (4 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #25610: Excellently made. Thank you (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25701: Right up my street. Not at all hard but a lot of fun, and a very novel approach to missing vowels. Very good 5 stars (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25697: Surprisingly easy once you spot whats going on (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25704: Tumblers aren't crockery, they are glassware (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #15509: Nice grid stumped on iums (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25700: Nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25670: Quite liked - completed very quickly - needed crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #25698: Always a pleasure (4 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #25642: Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #25623: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #25623: Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jonboy @ #25699: Nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25670: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

JT @ #25698: Good grid but suggest allow relative/relation as well as family member as connection for that group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25647: Mighta done it all given time. I only got `Plant`. But once sorted I saw all the sets. Nice one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25672: Krista- if you've never seen Happy Gilmore I envy you! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25653: Royals,Hatters,Millers and Potters are also surnames that describe jobs (if you count royalty as work). (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25697: Apologies- should read Shaun not Shawn- hope it doesn't put you off :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25655: Couldn`t get the semordnilaps.That`s palindromes backwards!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25659: Took me 1 minute then took me ages to get `spinning`.Top notch grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25684: Was good, but would've been better of one of the qualifying animals was in the purple group. Shame. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25662: Salamis-cold nose ,cold feet-2 parts that get cold first-makes sense to me! Could`ve had cold front(weather) or Cold War though. Nice Grid. I like these ones where the clue for the set is in the clues for each line :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25672: If I had known Happy Gilmore I`d`ve got full marks.Damn. Took me a while to see the others but I got everything else. Nice one :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jody @ #25697: Clever - thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25526: Glad you enjoyed, Mark. People either get these, or they don't. Like missing vowels, it plays with the way the brain recognises words. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25694: I knew James Bond had been a Sean, a Daniel, I was trying to remember if he had ever been a Prick? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25690: It`s another grid where some of the clues are clues for the other sets-hidden in plain sight. :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25690: Very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25670: Took me a while but I did it in time. Nice grid. Relies on quite specific knowledge-rhyming slang,alien races,bands. Enjoyed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #25669: Captain Planet quite possibly the most obscure group I've ever come across. Otherwise a nice grid although GTI was perhaps too much of a giveaway (4 years, 8 months ago)

JT @ #25694: Your name is a bit of a clue but it’s a nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #2621: I love curling so this was the perfect quiz for me! I'm so happy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25669: Yeah, the wind group was a bit niche. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25661: I liked it but didn't get the blue group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25690: Really enjoyed this, but disappointed with my 5 score. Only 1 group and 4 connections. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25670: I liked it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25684: I loved this one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25653: Enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

giantzides @ #25685: accidentally made public very sorry (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25683: Great choices of anagrams- less usual or predictable, good fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25681: I loved the to group, very clever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

JT @ #25685: Too niche for a general audience (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25682: Thought it was fine, even though I didn't know all the Hey songs. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25679: Lots of crossovers! Clever (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25672: great (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25680: I didn't get close to solving this one. Too many names I just didn't know. I've not marked you down for this, as the fault is mine, not the grids! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25668: Anova group was sneaky- was hunting for other tests/ stats terms. Lovely work! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #25526: I really like these, and I think they are a nice variation on an Only Connect theme of 'missing Vowels'. Just managed to solve this one in the time! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25679: Nicely done, thanks. Like salmacis, I was so near yet so far... (4 years, 8 months ago)

. @ #25682: poor (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25680: Very enjoyable, thank you, although I got a bit over-fixated on Brad Pitt roles (I’m a woman of a certain age...). And a nice KD tribute... (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25668: Good grid, but 'islands' wasn't accepted. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25670: Nice grid, got it all surprisingly easily. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25679: I could see the groups, but couldn't untangle them in time! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25668: Very enjoyable, thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

ur mom @ #13120: evidence that this grid was not a golden age (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25683: Never heard of any of the elephants, which slightly spoiled it for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25681: Lol I guess so, there are millions of films out there. It doesn’t escape annoyance at the error but thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25681: It didn't ruin the group for me - I assumed there was another film called "Psychos"! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #25641: Good wall! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25681: Apologies, puzzlers. Autocorrect has turned “Psych” to “Psycho” and effectively ruined that group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

limesnatch @ #22433: A really nice grid to solve. Extremely rewarding to figure out the answers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25673: Lots of red herrings!! Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

neilb4god @ #25669: Poor Ma-ti, having to settle for whatever 'heart' is (4 years, 8 months ago)

Henry @ #24998: Good Grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25670: Clever grid!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25667: Lots of variety. Great grid!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #25663: Most enjoyable. Although I completed the grid I didn't get the ending in age one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #25650: Innovative. Very nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

PWFK @ #25584: Really struggled with that one, very tricky :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25657: Only had seconds to spare. (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25669: Enjoyed this. Didn't know the Wind group at all though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25662: Ooh, this was meta! Well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25663: Kicked myself I didn't get the countries. Good grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25653: Nice grid, though I would never have got the fictional families group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #25658: wow! it took to much time working out the thing were mixed up but I managed to get the connections (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25660: Flowers that are girls names could also be girls names that are flowers, so bear that in mind with potential solutions! I didn't really like the "two definitions" category, as it felt a bit forced. "Racecar" is one of those words I've only ever seen in a palindromes category. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25653: V good quiz. Almost got confused with all the fictional families. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25662: "cold nose"? Am I missing something there? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25663: Very good links. Makes you think a lot (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis. @ #25663: Nice grid, not too difficult. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25660: Really fun and difficult grid!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #25655: 7 out of 10. only because I didn't see the last clue quick enough. I don,t read words backwards!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25659: These are probably the most fun you can have with an easy. Great format, well executed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adrian @ #11560: Bit obscure on the connections. Ronaldo was born in Madeira (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adrian @ #13152: Loved the flintstones red herrings. Great wall (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25655: really enjoying your grids (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25657: Brilliant! Had to have 2 goes- Got lotus and was looking for flowers so missed the cars. Very good, challenging grid, and nicely different (4 years, 8 months ago)

rosbif @ #25626: ooops yep sorry about that, I wish I could edit these!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25651: Apologies if this is too easy for you- I'm testing the format, getting a response. Constructive feedback welcome- especially if you've played the harder grids in this format (one letter moved grids). Thanks X (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25650: TooCleverToWriteYourOwn? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25656: Really good grid- typo made it very easy but I loved your ideas (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25650: These two are deliberately easy as this format has been called too difficult by some- I'm testing to see if it's the format, subject matter or camouflaging that's confusing folks- I've gone for obvious groups and barely any camouflage- if you do find it ridiculously easy- well done you, give yourself a pat on the back- but don't say I'm not responsive to *constructive* criticism! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25656: Sorry - I messed up with the lower case letters - but can't delete! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25650: Tho anok yoou. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wordie @ #25655: Fun grid thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25634: very cool! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8887: Enjoyed until my CARRIAGE was rejected 😢 (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25610: great one, but tricky! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8884: Warmonger and Cold Fish work equally well. Grids should have only one solution (with chosen connections). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8879: Did not accept "Carrey" either. (4 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #25650: Rid oic uloo Us (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25647: thanks for the clues! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Timbaland @ #25649: Who knew Timbaland collaborated with himself. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lynn @ #25638: Thanks girls that was fun xx (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25578: Hi BinDipper- you've been quiet lately! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25505: Like a blister (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25578: I think I’ll give this humour with an edge a bit of a spin. Group of Farage, Rees-Mogg, Gove and Johnson - “They’re all Brexiting twats whose intellect is considerably smaller than they think it is.” See how that goes down. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25578: I think I’ll give this humour with an edge a bit of a spin. Group of Farage, Rees-Mogg, Gove and Johnson - “They’re all Brexiting twats whose intellect is considerably smaller than they think it is.” See how that goes down. (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #25505: What is a bleb (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #25502: New method I like it ty (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grandma @ #25638: That was brilliant Chloe, well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25645: Very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25643: Yeah great show (4 years, 8 months ago)

Iain @ #25638: Really well done! Great quiz and I'm frustrated with the answers to the 3rd and 4th lines! Excellent! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25643: I miss Firefly! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #25635: Argh, that was evil genius. I didn't get a single one because I kept getting distracted by words in the grid that fitted with other words in the grid. Well played. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25637: Thanks, WordSmith- not sure where the word "missing" came in- I certainly didn't use it. Maybe just cos it's what people are used to? Glad you got your eye in- that's what these ones are about, for me. bit more satisfying when you get them than the easy ones, hopefully? (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25637: for 'missing' read 'moved to elsewhere in the word' Was very slow to get going and then did them all in quick time. Interesting idea (4 years, 8 months ago)

Thomaths @ #25640: Banging effort with good crossovers. The kingdom group had me kicking myself when I got it (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25637: that's right Widger- they're moved, not removed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #8793: Excellent! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25640: 'Hotel' is bit weak and the hidden words need to make sense but the rests OK (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #10172: You got me! Liked it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #4582: Nice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers23 23 @ #184: You had me for a moment. Really enjoyed it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rachel @ #25636: Loved it, (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers23 23 @ #8403: Stumped at first but once you get one it helps. Like it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers23 23 @ #15448: Good one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25637: Easier than it looked (4 years, 8 months ago)

Caz @ #23014: Yorkshire water???? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25637: Not sure letters are missing (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25623: Enjoyed it Salmacis :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25626: But why the capitals on ANY in the last 2 grids? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25632: Me too WordSmith! Clever though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25634: Thanks Krista! Did the double clue technique make it easier? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25605: Hi- good first go! I especially liked the glade group- clever choices. Some people dislike mixed groups ie Pink amongst surnames- not a prob for me but it's a heads up. Tricky part of submitting can be the linking terms boxes- there's a help button- this is what causes most complaints. Good luck with your future grids, I'll look out for them! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25634: Good one! Nice,unusal format. Hard to understand at first but once you get it... :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25595: I will do more like this BB- if you find some of the recent ones obscure-the ones woth lots of punctuation breaking words have a really simple trick to them- they're designed to look hard but be not that difficult- that is putting a lot of people off but please don't give up- Ignore the punctuation marks and look at the letters as if no caps. ONLY ONE LETTER will have moved- you can literally just read the answers! They're not tricky anagrams, they're just camouflaged. I hope that helps- I want you to enjoy these and feel proud/ satisfied when you get what looked like a tough grid- my intention is not to confuse people! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25635: Clever! Clues hidden in plain sight! I LIKE it. No I don`t- I didn`t win!!(sulk) (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25635: Nice Structure (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25629: Good grid but that`s not ONLY ways to eat egg! I can eat a LOT of foods that way-that should be changed.I solved it but only just,but that`s what makes a good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25632: If anybody gets 10/10 on this I will be amazed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25630: Straightforward.But enjoyed :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25633: Only complaint is that `Cartoon dogs` is sufficient IMHO Too many red herrings for me to get 10/10 :-) Good one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25629: Oh lord, that's grown into a category in its own right now! Haha, very good, crossovers too. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #25605: First submission so very grateful for the helpful feedback. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #25629: Very relevant. Good Grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25595: This was fun, my favourite style of yours. I was going to start skipping your grids because I find a lot of them too obscure, but I'm glad I didn't. Hoping you'll do more like this :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shivvers 23 @ #25633: Nice one! Lots of red herrings. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Julie @ #2297: Too easy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Julie @ #8403: Not too hard. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25631: That's happened to me before. You don't get as many characters as seem to initially fit- not sure why. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25599: Ah- yes Jim! Typo, apologies can't edit! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25607: Great Debut! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25631: Aargh it let me type in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in full, I had no idea it would cut -nner off! So sorry, it looks rubbish and might not be recognisable to some :( also sorry to anyone not interested in the grid's theme altogether! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25623: Yes, finding the right difficulty is the hardest part. I don't see it as my duty to make it as hard as I possibly can! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25625: Very novel use of multiple same entries- easy only because I know you're too good to have put them in separate groups and therefore compromise the mechanics of the grid! It worked really well, surprising and fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25624: Terrific example of how simplicity can trip people up. This was challenging and fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25623: Brilliant red herrings! I'd have been a lot nastier than you and used more where they're not expected- everyone will be glad YOU made this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25612: First one of yours I got (4 years, 8 months ago)

jim @ #25612: good. nice one lorns (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #22497: No should be allowed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Esq @ #25629: How do you like your withdrawal bill in the morning? Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Esq @ #25557: Do you know if there is a way of editing a published wall? (4 years, 8 months ago)

jim @ #25599: BronzEEd? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25606: Agree with Chris that the postcodes could also be applied to compass points - mainly because that's what i put, lol! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25625: Should be very easy, this one. Just a bit of fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25589: Yeah apologies wasn't happy with that group description, (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25594: Sorry thought picked up plurals (4 years, 8 months ago)

rosbif @ #25607: Thanks for the feedback, it's my first grid, wish I could edit it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lagate @ #25602: CHEERS (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25610: Absolutely brilliant 5/5 got caught up looking for Richards- only just got that one, lovely reveal. Perfect example of a well made, fun grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Randy @ #6833: Please update point 3 reference relatives. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25599: It's a reference to the start of The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring: Bilbo Baggins' 111th birthday party. He calls it his eleventy first birthday. Hope that helps! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25584: Is, not id- I've got a cold. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25584: I was super careful and chose only 3/4 songs- most of my original selections were indeed 6/8 but I googled all of the sheet music to check! The pop songs and Sound of music were hopefully distinguishable. The only knowledge needed to solve this grid was actually just telling the difference between the two Mary Poppins groups- no tech knowledge required- just an auditory imagination + familiarity with the songs- easy to tell that 4 are in waltz time. the hard part id thinking differently- about the music not the wording or facts about it. The specifics of the answer boxes were not required for points, just there for the sake of interest. (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25606: Easy but OK, the post codes answer could be applied to compass points (4 years, 8 months ago)

SGub @ #25594: You need to put better checking words in please. I had jacket, not jackets. (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25606: (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25606: Easy but neat (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25607: Not for me thank you (4 years, 8 months ago)

SGub @ #25599: What is an "eleventy first birthday"? Am I being thick here? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Donuts @ #25584: A bit niche as it relies on musical composition knowledge. Also America by Simon & Garfunkel is a 6/8 time signature not 3/4. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25607: I quite liked that group, made me laugh. It's only weak if the connection is hard to get. Easy but fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25599: Very clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25608: Apologies to non- Brits (or those too young to remember the 80's) if the subject matter is out of your purwiew. Write what you know! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25594: Groups were a combination of very easy and really specialist. For the A grid, I'm a fan but I didn't get that :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25589: Good grid, but needs some better options when submitting the answers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25607: I'd stick to either real planets or planets in fiction as a single category. The magic words group was a little weak as well. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25589: Plenty of crossovers but not too many. I didn't get the specific connection on the Stark group but I won't lose sleep :) Good one :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Donuts @ #25606: Simple one but they're bearings or compass points. They can be applied to more than postcodes (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25587: Good balance of connections. I didn't have the Avengers knowledge to get the connection in that group, but it was fair :) Enjoyed that (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grob @ #25410: From a grammar pov, line 1 'intensifier' and line 2 'gerund' . (4 years, 8 months ago)

Donuts @ #25599: Loved this one, also got the Indiana Jones moment. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25599: Got what you were doing instantly, but unfortunately 3 minutes wasn't long enough (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aof @ #25605: Great grid! Lots of red herrings. Good fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25578: Thanks Wendy. I do see your point. I'm not that keen, personally, on the everything in black and white, "woke" zeitgeist- I agree with the sentiment, but I think that the often judgemental/ accusatory censure that comes with it can be more hurtful, come from a worse place, than the "offense". A slightly misjudged joke? Intended to amuse or laugh off a difficult subject. Directly calling an individual offensive? Intended to police how people think and speak, and to insult that individual, maybe feel a bit superior. Language like "sad old man" could be as easily, lazily attacked. I am soooooooo glad that there is a current trend towards speaking more openly about mental health. I think humour is an often dangerous but very important part of breaking the taboo. I HONESTLY think that Ossie's joke has been misunderstood- the joke is not that it is ok or funny to throw the offending terms about- as a sufferer himself I can see that he isn't saying that at all. It's not a joke I would have made but I don't think Ossie deserves a personal attack. I was being ragged on this website and when it came down to it Ossie was kind and supportive. Please give the benefit of the doubt. Humour is a grey area. Wendy I'm truly sorry you were hurt by this and I do appreciate your view but am playing devil's advocate for the sake of balance. Love to all :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25579: Cool! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25606: Easier than it looked and quite enjoyable. I also answered cardinal points! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wendy @ #25578: Ossie, that obviously struck a nerve, now you know how some others feel by your many inflammatory grids and comments. I'm sorry you have also had to deal with the scourge of mental illness, and it's great that you've been able to use humour as a coping mechanism. You can laugh at yourself, that's your call. But not at others. Have you considered how damaging it could be to others not in the same place as you, who perhaps feel ashamed of their condition and are struggling to ask for help, to see that 'the public' still think the mentally ill are a big joke, 'mad' 'lunatics' who belong in 'asylums'? Good for you if dark humour helps, but perhaps you could keep the darkest stuff private and only share it with those of a similar disposition. The majority of us are 'woke' for a reason, I personally was hurt rather than offended by your choice of language. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25579: Incidentally, while making this grid, I discovered that 'Passat' is German for a trade wind as well, but I thought that was too obscure! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25473: Didn't like this one at all, I'm afraid. The connections aren't strong and there is almost nothing to go on to get started. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Student @ #25473: Good quiz the verb one was difficult (4 years, 8 months ago)

Student @ #25473: Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Student @ #25473: Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Student @ #25473: Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25605: Not sure why "female singers" and "whale" were not accepted (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25606: Ditto the comment on compass points (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: I think Lorna has summed it up perfectly...whether people will be able to see past their own prejudice and appreciate her words remains to be seen (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: I think Lorna has summed it up perfectly...whether people will be able to see past their own prejudice and appreciate her words remains to be seen (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25606: The blue group are all also directions on a compass - which makes sense, since postcodes are based on this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25605: Got the connections, but 'whale' and 'actor' really ought to be accepted. I tend to write the shortest thing I think will be judged correct. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25596: If you're going to have 16 names, I think the categories need to be a little more obvious. Apart from the NATO one, I still couldn't get the connections. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8810: Three of four letter changes feels very wrong. I liked the ous goup though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25578: This is the type of humour which always provokes a backlash- Those of us who laugh at our own situations can be a little dark at times which can feel uncomfortable to others on the outside. The intention here, to me, was recognised and relatable- some of the worst gay jokes I've ever heard were from my gay housemate in college. Likewise age, race; we all have a humour line we'll not cross, but it's personal. With this sort of "Gervaisian" humour I think that the intention is to create frisson rather than offence- if it does cause offence that is unfortunate and comes down to judgement or audience tastes- again very personal. Mental health an issue very close to my own experiences (I'm sure I'm not unique in that). I was not offended by Ossie's joke as I read into the intention of the joke- if it has a victim it is less the mentally ill and more the "quick to react". I do respect EVERYONE'S opinions here and can well understand why some found it offensive. I've had "offensive joke" grids put up in my name by other people- I was more peed off by the identity theft than the "ha ha- willies" stupidity of the humour! Love to all. Ossie, keep healing. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8809: I liked it, though not for everyone I imagine. Interesting idea. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #25589: Marvel superheroes? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8804: 'Anagrams' should score. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25599: Really pleased, Jime! I love those "Indiana Jones' Hat" moments! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25595: By writing grids I'm expanding my knowledge! (I don't always get it right) :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: And for the record Wendy I have and I am.....and humour, dark and otherwise, is a major part of the healing process...........mayhap you should not be so quick to make sweeping assumptions and accusations about peole based on a puzzle grid...because that really is insane!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: My dear Wendy, there are no limits to humour, as indeed there appears to be no limits to the narcissistic pious attitude of so many although I see that ageism isn't out of bounds for you....selective morals are so convenient aren't they! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wendy @ #25578: Hilarious to make fun of mental illness, it could happen to you one day. I wonder where you'll go next with your super-cool anti-pc crusade, perhaps racism?? Sad old man. (4 years, 8 months ago)

WordSmith @ #25585: I tried to add as much as I could to each category but it's difficult to get everything. The most frustrating thing is that you cannot edit, but without a login process that is of course impossible to offer. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jime @ #25599: Wonderful. I got it with 1 sec to go. Then finally got all the connections after the Australian clue gave me my final breakthrough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: Moi!?...As if!..8-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25596: I didn't mind it, although was chasing a Dahl and a US presidents group, but neither were there. (4 years, 8 months ago)

blah @ #25585: You might want to include 'clergy' as an alternative to 'members of the church' - it's frustrating to get it right but not score the point. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Esq @ #25595: By googling your answers I'm expanding my knowledge.... All fair but super tough (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25598: Blue group, I like. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25599: Bonzer? (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25595: Oh, I have done all your puzzles! Thanks for your work. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25599: This was fun! I couldn't get the Australian one, (due to being Australian?) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25596: Didn't like it - no handles to grab (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25568: I suppose its a case of the famous quote by John Lydgate (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25595: I wasn't sure about the cakes, difficulty wise; I sometimes like to leave an end dangling to give people a start, but have one harder group or clue left over at the end that needs a bit of mulling over, when you've got time. Battenberg was my little evil guilty pleasure. Spongebob was a big hint, though! BTW I've done a few in this style if you like it? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25568: Ha! I know that feeling, Phil! I like double layered answers, more challenging. Don't expect harder grids to be popular- do it for the satisfaction not the stars. If you select the "best grids" category to play it gets really boring, because they're all the really easy ones; people love them if they can solve them, despite there being separate ratings for quality and difficulty. Do I sound bitter? ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25578: SHAMELESS attention seeking!!! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25595: This reminded me of 'answer smash' on Richard Osman's House of Games! I got most of the overlap words, but still found the groups hard -particularly the cake one, which was another level removed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25568: The categories were British and Italian - 9 explorers gave plenty of crossovers to sort out - I thought I'd better allow explorer as an answer to stop people moaning - it didn't work (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25593: Sorry for another 3 false group grid- the idea was burning a hole in my brain and I couldn't resist! It's a tiny bit evil but the accepted terms should be generous- enjoy!?! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25576: Clever categories. I *almost* got there :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25594: Tough grid, got green and purple quickly but couldn't get the rest. Got a bit bogged down with symmetry. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jade437 @ #25585: A lot of nice crossovers, and the green group - kicked myself when I couldn't even see it at the end! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: Moi!?.....As if! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25569: I googled it and initialisms are listed as a type of acronym- although some people specify that it has to be pronounced as a word, there is debate on the matter. I however awarded points for "initial" in the accepted terms- so no problemo? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25578: Yep, thought so Ossie! Agent Provocateur! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25588: I like that it turned out to be a wordplay grid, not a massively hard trivia quiz! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25586: Nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #25586: Tri could be bi (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pedant @ #25569: Be careful not to confuse acronyms (SCUBA) with initialisms (FBI). The former is a new spoken word, the latter is not. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: Oh.....and give yourself an extra point for spotting the irony in the comments....8-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25578: Lighten up folks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25569: Superb! So inventive!! 5* (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25562: Very, very clever. I was beaten by both steps of solving the 7f hours group - didn't crack the code or know the answers! Great grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25585: Liked this (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25563: Very good! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #17355: The tea one, other 3 are two words. Cher makes one word (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25578: Not good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #8618: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #13544: Yeah sapphires stumped me. Nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25580: Same thought. I like the red herring group idea. Still pretty neat (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #24993: Novella was a new one, would have been harder with more red herrings but was left with that group. Also would say weights is more apt than mass in this instance. Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #25575: Should be ‘Tis not Tic (4 years, 8 months ago)

asdadasd @ #25578: Offensive (4 years, 8 months ago)

Charlynne Bryan @ #25468: Love this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25514: Florin is a coin, old UK one. There is a forint which was an Hungarian coin. Night Market also perfectly fine. Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dawn338 @ #25581: Excellent, homophone group got me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25556: Ah yes, missed one. Always safest to put "synonyms" if you care about your score as its hard to list every synonym for a group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25579: No doubt....nice grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25551: I thought the two Snowballs were a cock-up.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25578: It would seem that you did this deliberately?!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25580: Shame about the spelling mistake, as Carter and Trump make a good start on a red herring group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alias86 @ #25556: Could have accepted "hugs" (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25579: @Peekay: We probably had the same thought process with 'scirocco'.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25558: Being a folk aficionado helped with this one! Good grid, not too hard, unlike some of the grids I'm faced with these days! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25579: Incredibly similar to an earlier one i submitted.....bit random to both think of winds and VW's..... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie Smith @ #25578: I'm not comfortable with the use of a real persons name in a group that passes a subjective opinion. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25579: Some neat red herrings! Gaps in my knowledge meant I didn't get two of the groups or the connections between them, but this was fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alias86 @ #25578: Having them with lower case letters at the start makes the one group too easy to spot.. Also, I think including Sinead O'Connor in the "gone mad" group is a little on the nose (4 years, 8 months ago)

Esq @ #25577: Yes One Direction as in a one dimensional straight line. I'm not judging their artistic merits. New to making up walls so apologies if stretching some connections. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25568: This would have been a nice grid if there hadn't been two explorer categories. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25577: I took it to mean that a single direction, like a line, is one dimensional. Not sure if that was what was intended? (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25577: OUCH!! IrishRomulan.....I think Esq used some "artistic" licence.....and very good it was too if I may say so! (4 years, 8 months ago)

IrishRomulan @ #25577: Isn’t it One Direction? Not one dimension? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25563: Someone had to say it :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25577: Very good, very clever, very hard- I knew what I was looking for but didn't untangle it in time, A real stretch of knowledge this one, but I do love themed grids. I kept treating coordinate as 2D which scuppered me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25577: This grid was one dimensional... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #22172: @ Jack: as a very small child I was convinced that my brothers real name was "Craigy" and that Craig was an abbreviated nickname, as I only ever heard him called the former! The cat is definitely called Jones, but as you see I've made that same mistake :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25576: This is great for fans and well constructed. It won't be popular (as you yourself predict!) but that is no reflection on quality, those who like it will love it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #25576: This grid certainly isn't for everyone. I recently saw the Cursed Child and felt like doing a Harry Potter based grid. If you are sick and tired of the subject I apologise. Hopefully at least a few people will like it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25574: BIG APOLOGIES- I accidentally hit submit on this before I was finished and it DOESN'T WORK! I have re- submitted it : # 25575 Hope you enjoy it, please ignore this one! (Shame we can't edit or delete our own grids!!!) (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25558: Excellent, intelligent grid. No celebs, girl bands or Harry Potter , well done !!!!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

black person @ #13724: white (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jackie Chapman @ #12: Easy to solve but wouldn't accept anything other than exact wording - e.g I said 'group' but the 'correct' answer was 'bands'. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25558: good fun, how did I not see the metals (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25562: good grid, looked hard but actually a lot easier than I thought has I spotted certain groups (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25568: I really liked it, nice to do a quiz once in a while (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25516: Not as hard as they look- read the answers, it gives you the technique to solving them :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25568: This is mainly a history quiz but there are several crossovers to make it interesting (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25562: Right up my street and very challenging. I thought about but avoided binary for my number code grids- but only because I'm not clever enough! Base group beyond my maths, although I could pick them out and got meaning. I hope this gets the stars it deserves, I'm giving it 5/5 :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25551: that is quite clever and I didn't spot it (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25558: Nicely done (4 years, 8 months ago)

jammydodger @ #25557: I often use 'chain of thought' - good group. The execute group needed wider scoring criteria. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #25516: Cripes!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #25558: Should be 'The Senedd' instead of Cardiff (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25508: Nice one, thanks. Stared at the ozone group for ages without success...d’oh! (4 years, 8 months ago)

steve t @ #25541: Very enjoyable - thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Geraint @ #25537: Great (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25553: Small typo - but still a good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25542: Good one to warm up on (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bearcules @ #25523: I am so smart, I am so smart, S-M-R-T, I mean S-M-A-R-T. I got 10/10. Really enjoyed this grid. Well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8718: Lots of fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25541: You're very kind- I consider this one a bit of a cock up! Hey ho... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25543: REALLY well done- I love multiple false groups, so fun to set, it's nice to solve one. Gave this 5 well earned stars. More please! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25541: Enjoyed that one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25535: Good spot- give yourself a point anyway. I tend not to have a different missing word each time but it could easily be a group- not intentional! I probably subconsciously chose those particular flies to be red herrings for the bird group. Horn was a false lead to trotter, house was a false lead to tv surnames, storm/ monsoon, but also sound like birds. A bit too much, though! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25542: Nice and easy one for a big fan of these groups (not the Mugabe one!!!) :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip @ #25520: Clever cross-over . Prefer it when there aren't bits of words on the grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #25542: Just a quick easy one i put together on my lunch at work. Enjoy (4 years, 8 months ago)

mcb @ #25535: you say flies i said add a word to make a bird, storm PETREL- house MARTIN-marsh HARRIER- horn BILL nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25541: Good grid. much more my level (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25541: AAArgh! I've just realised that by adding man/ men to avoid pedantry regarding mixing these terms, I've consequently made the group stand out by a mile. Knackered myself there! Oh well, you deserve an easy one. Doh! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25540: Spotted my MO! I'm going to have to change tack again! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25541: Disclaimer: I don't usually do suffix/ prefix mixed groups: as this was a "missing words" group I've done it this once. Complaints on this subject won't be necessary! (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #2661: Should accept Indigenous as that is currently the correct term - Native American is considered outdated. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25540: So many false groups! Or fragments of them :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #22776: Nice use of career, less of an easy spot (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22776: Good quiz however I didn't got the goalkeepers, not a football fan! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22797: good easy quiz. Friends surnames have been done too many times though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22850: I got all but one right. Leaders in Civilisation V ????? I put ancient rulers and was wrong. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25523: Holly was a stroke of genius, to me! Many grids have had this kind of band group, but using word with a different form for sing. pl. took it to another level. I really appreciated the twist! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25537: Thanks, really kind. It's quite hard to judge how hard people will find these- as you say the device is so simple, but the camouflage does the job. Once you know the trick, maybe easier? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #23073: Impressive knowledge for 11. More of a quiz than a puzzle, but I love a bit of variety so it was still fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #22400: Wow- seems like a lot of unfair criticism for this grid- I can see what you've done and why, and agree that sometimes tripping people up with a simple answer ca be better form than being overly obscure. Re- the soundalikes- as you didn't actually use the term homophone anywhere, I think its ok to add a homograph. I'm RP and got them, no brogue required. I liked that the body parts group was double layered and this degree of detail, to me, justified the simplicity of "the brain". I do slightly agree that passive may not work but that's more a query than a rant as you may have seen something I haven't- Hot may mean oppressive but in weather terms, not sure if it works backwards? Passive weather? Unless there's another form, if so, apologies. Sorry to go on for a long one but it irks me a bit when you get a group jumping one initial criticism and it becomes a bit of a cluster. Seems unfair, especially on a pretty good grid. Participation leads to appreciation- critics should have a go themselves. All the best to you :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25523: Liked this, thanks. Good magazine red herrings! (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25537: Very good. I found this really difficult - solved two and got three links. I was trying to work out full anagrams. Can’t believe I didn’t spot you’d only moved one letter! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jammydodger @ #25537: Astonishing how hard it is with such a small change to the words. Can I take the opportunity to thank you very much Lorna for all these grids. And to all those who set them. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Goneril @ #17287: Virtually impossible for Americans, but clever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25520: Good soft-drink misdirection :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25521: good grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

j @ #23073: territories AND islands. Good though (4 years, 8 months ago)

j @ #22388: yes but also all doctors (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25527: good groups! (4 years, 8 months ago)

j @ #22400: agree with cazlyn (4 years, 8 months ago)

j @ #11431: agreed (4 years, 8 months ago)

ernst blofeld-finger @ #24919: had to visit grid twice. super gtid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #13910: great puzzle (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25532: And TBH you'd get a point for putting "song" "gender" or anything like cos I try not to be stingy with points! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yrieithydd @ #25529: All TV references, none of which I've watched. Though Friends is famous enough. Not enough variety (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25532: I NEEEARLY did- but there were so many this and that, male and female crossovers available from the lily group, I couldn't resist- and I've done Pratchett before- don't want to get samey. May again one day. I used the pop groups as the initial idea came from "Ladies and Gentlemen". Yes, more quizzy than most of mine but you never know who's going to know what. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yrieithydd @ #25531: Got points for "rhyming phrases" for dogs. Walnut has one l Don't remember Willow as a rabbit I have to admit (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yrieithydd @ #25532: Two pop music groups is skewed to pop knowledge. But liked plays and plants. Wanted a Pratchett group with Lords and Ladies (4 years, 8 months ago)

A @ #25529: Too usa (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25537: (I gave this four stars and enjoyed it a good deal. It seems to have gone down since; I just wanted to explain that that wasn't my doing) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yrieithydd @ #22670: Word things need to either precede or follow for whole group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Looook @ #25523: Holly is singular. It works. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Looook @ #25534: Thought heraldry was hiding in there. Nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25523: Not sure about Holly - but I suppose its singular - liked the rest though (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25525: I haven't learned how to judge difficulty yet when writing these. You're worried it might be obvious when you've burned an hour coming up with the groups, but of course once they're shuffled and there's only three minutes, it's far harder. I'll try for something easier for my fourth (there's one after this that's also probably harder than I expected) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25533: Well now, if you're going to go and stop just because something is contrived, you're going to put us all to shame! ;) Great first go- I struggled with the numbers but the rest was fun-ly quizzy! Good crossovers too. Totally agree with Duncan (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25537: Nicely done! I remembered the core conceit from an earlier puzzle or I might have struggled more. This was fun and approachable (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25536: Managed with my rusty French! Love a theme (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25531: Interesting and diverse groups - fun though (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25517: Nicely balanced. I got the groups but not all of the connections. It was a pleasure (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25533: I like it much better with without the Ringo group. It gives you that pleasing moment of "well, I see three Beatles, but where's the other one..." (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #25533: Thank you for your comments! This was my first attempt. I didn’t realise about the system treating two identical boxes as different. Will bear in mind in future. I tried to create a Ringo group, but decided it was a bit contrived (‘ f fire’?). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8688: Some highly dubious connecting here.. float and shake? Dragon and caterpillar. Not my cup of tea. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25514: night market? - life would be better. Florin ? - florint maybe (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25526: Hi Chippy D- did you solve it? Explanation below might help, if not :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25521: wow- impressed that it's your first- yes its easy to criticise but there's a lot to it! Well done for having a go (I wish more would- they might be kinder!) Praise was well earned I shall look out for your grids :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25526: Was looking for a "devilish" category but couldn't find it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25526: Sorry if these are confusing- if you read the answers it explains that the words are completely unadulterated apart from moving one letter only. I really thought these would be dead easy, you just need to get your mind past the initial "whaaaa????" moment. A bit of spacing, caps and punctuation is all there is to camouflage some pretty straightforward grouping. Take another look, I hope people will enjoy these more once they get the thread and theme. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

x @ #25515: m or v could swap with j or m (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25522: 'Pain' not liked but rest quite good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Roger @ #23643: Should accept Xmas !! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25533: great concept (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25411: I managed two groups I knew the connections for and was content with that. Tricky! It's nice when a puzzle gives you interesting things to read about afterwards (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25534: good one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25420: Very difficult - I didn't get any groups or connections. The groups make perfect sense with the explanations, though, so well done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25533: Some neat clues (Little and John in particular) and a bit of general knowledge involved (I didn't understand Starkey until I looked it up afterwards, but it makes perfect sense now). Mostly it was the numbers that I had to guess at. It's a bit of a shame having two "VI"s because the system still treats them as different. I enjoyed it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25532: Got the music groups ok and fluked the others (4 years, 8 months ago)

Duncan @ #25521: Thanks, both, for the kind words! This was my first one - it's harder than I'd imagined! - and I'm really pleased that it's come out OK. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Seriously @ #18320: Stop marking puzzles as American if they are going to focus on British content. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25533: Not too difficult once you get the theme (4 years, 8 months ago)

gnu @ #25526: Can anyone really, 100% honesty here, even get started on grids like this? I mean I don't get half of them after seeing the answers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25530: I've seen the films but I'm not a fanatic - I got 2/10 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25506: Sorry folks about the words that could swap places. I rushed and didn't think it through although it seems a good way to promote discussion ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Louise @ #6833: "Contains relatives" not allowed for the group which "Contain a family member". Hmmm.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25529: Only got Friends - I obviously don't watch enough Tele. For couch potatoes only (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25518: Like it - minimal typing for the answers (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #10577: Nice grid with red herrings in every group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Idek @ #25529: the last one will say it is incorrect even if you typed in the correct answer. Just ignore it. Sorry for the inconvenience (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jahn @ #24698: Grenada not Granada Granada is a town in Spain Grenada is an island in the West Indies (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25525: challenging! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25524: Problem with quizzy ones is they depend on what you're into; this was just a bit of fun for me but I'll go back to more puzzly ones now! Thanks for your comments :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Iffy @ #25506: Red Herrings are where you could have it in another group, but not swap for something in that group. If it still works the other way round there is not one unique answer so it is a poor grid. If you can lose it and its a sense you can swap them (4 years, 8 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #25522: Good stuff, well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

D Caff @ #25521: Excellent use of straightforward words and categories, mixed up beautifully in well constructed crossovers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

vic you idiot @ #25506: thats why they are called red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25524: Always a Challenge. Too good for me (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25522: Thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25524: I know, I know- this is a bit niche even for my tastes, just fancied a change. Good luck! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24495: Fair point, as usual, BinDipper! Just discovered that E560, E461, E462, E464, E466, E467, E101, E300, E306, E160a & E1510 are all present in a raw, unprocessed, organic banana! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25457: bit harsh- easy to infer from the group- one criticism was it was a bit too easy as it lacked crossovers, but I could see it being a useful and interesting teaching tool. And you've made me want to get some exercise, so..... :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25522: you're consistently good (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25521: Really well done- used up all my lives on the gravy group, great crossovers there, and the use of "turn" was inspired (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25520: OOOO I love a false group! You got me! Resolved in short time but didn't know screens. Nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25518: Lovely work, good theme, nice and easy but a lot of fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lav @ #17752: brilliant! love your grids (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24495: Lest you go on an E number hunt and eliminate them from your diet, bear in mind E300 is ascorbic acid, aka Vitamin C. Not all E numbers are bad boys; not all would have a 3yr old climbing walls. :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lav @ #24859: This is supposed to be easy!! Not in some random language. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lav @ #25457: This grid is rubbish. Unless you're taking a degree in Fitness, how are you supposed to guess "the effects of a sedentary lifestyle"? A bit generalised, don't you think? (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25458: Nice one! Real brain-mangler. Pleased to have got a 5 :( (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barney @ #25508: Hard but good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25506: couple of words could exchange places but good content (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #25507: The all caps hurt my eyes. Not sure about the Napoleon group I could find no evidence that Napoleon was involved in rollercoasters (the first one wasn't commissioned in Paris until 2 years after his exile in 1815). Similarly not sure what you mean by Rizzlers? is that supposed to be the brand of cigarette rolling papers Rizla? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25517: nice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kate @ #25512: Watson, Perry, Barker and Robson was the first group I found, but for a different connection. They are all halves of a pair: Holmes and Watson, Kevin and Perry, Corbett and Barker (Ronnie) and Robson and Jerome. 😄 (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25497: It’s a clever grid but unfortunately doesn’t have a unique solution so, in the vernacular, it’s bollocksed. :-( (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25499: not bad, good word groups (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip @ #25502: Weird (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip @ #25503: Needed 3 Millenia to complete (4 years, 8 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #25484: Good grid. Got the adverb group really quickly, because I thought they were types of mood or state of mind (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24495: thanks Krista. the E denotes that it's in accordance with EU food standards. The number I think is how many ways it will screw you up? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #24495: Lizzy-read some food labels, E numbers are stuff they put in food to do jobs like preserving& colouring that are NOT natural.They give them E numbers because some have l-o-n-g names and they`d never get it all on the packet! :-D Nice grid Lorna :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #24583: I got a football one right! :-) And I only knew Pele. Maybe needs a few crossover clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #24660: Yup! same problem. Apart from that good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25088: Nice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eddie @ #25503: Just a fun knowledge-based grid... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25489: Making them all synonyms does make it easier. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25492: I only got one " effects` and it said I was wrong -wah!! ;-( (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25494: Good grid,except I`m never gonna get a footie one! :-( (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25496: There were so many ways these could be sorted that I only had time to find one! :-( (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25491: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25497: I say old bean, that's terribly clever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25500: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25497: Too many Daves!!(with thanks to Dr Suess) :-D (4 years, 8 months ago)

Spunkcup @ #25472: Liberties (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25497: A nice name grid. Good to see the underrated Dave Allen making an appearance. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Beef @ #18297: Why mark a grid as American if most of the solutions are easier to solve by those in the UK? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #25491: Great grid! Two seconds to spare... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #25491: Great grid! Two seconds to spare... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25490: Enjoyed that, slightly easier than many of yours! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Virapondus @ #13425: Very nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8662: A very fine grid, enjoyed immensely. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufty @ #25492: A bit of a mess with acceptable answers. But also the ‘lash’ group could all follow ‘on the’ also. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25478: Thanks, had fun with this one. Glad I didn’t try to get St Peter into the Rex Harrison et al line! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Simon Coleman @ #9875: Liked this though washing machine a bit cheeky (4 years, 8 months ago)

Simon Coleman @ #8355: I like this one because the categories are not too hard to spot but there are many possible combinations (4 years, 8 months ago)

Simon Coleman @ #6833: for answer to group about family member should accept reference to 'relative' (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25492: Form - no (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25484: you do need to be careful with a suffix, so interchangeable- if I may offer advice, have one word at least that is unique to the suffix used- poor example but do able, forgiv able, lik able could all end with ing or similar, but ping pong t can only end able. I'm NOT suggesting that would be a good group, by the way! Just a demo. :) It was a nice grid otherwise (4 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #25484: the adverbs group is too vague, there are other connections... all things one can feel, etc (4 years, 8 months ago)

Elaine @ #25467: Sorry I meant quality was 5 stars (4 years, 8 months ago)

MinnieQuiz @ #25492: I noticed the trans thing after! Very annoyed at myself! (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #25492: I was sure there was an OUT group, lash out, worm out, shell out, ground out. Only quibble would be that in the tran group, form needs a TRANS rather than TRAN (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #25415: Al Brooks’ real name is Albert Einstein. That’s the red herring. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25483: I'm not quite a pensioner yet but I recognised Billy Fury! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25485: I loved this, great idea! Knew just enough to get a handle on it but had to work so top grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25489: I really love a good theme! Easier than it looks though, once you get started. Very nicely worked together (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25486: saw 3, possibly 4 red herrings? Plasma was indeed tough to spot but I think fair. Good effort :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25487: I liked the Peter group in particular (4 years, 8 months ago)

boss @ #25489: should be coagulate (4 years, 8 months ago)

Esq @ #25488: Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25488: Happy birthday Lorna! (4 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #25467: (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25488: Happy Birthday to me (4 years, 8 months ago)

24601 @ #25486: Plasma - pushing that group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

24601 @ #25487: Good, unlikely to have two wordy ones on the real walls (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8659: Tow would have been suitable for this connection instead of bow. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kpnuts @ #25481: Another nice grid Lorna. Loved the Harry Potter red herrings. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25485: Knew quite a few but not all - good fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25486: Ok groups but crossovers? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25478: It didn't take '6 wives' but never mind - it was interesting anyway (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25484: Easy 10/10 in 12 clicks - good groupings but lacking crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

gnu @ #25483: Billy Fury is equally unknown to the non-pensioners here. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25479: Looked impossible at first, but then completed well within time! Good fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

@euphemeister @ #25467: I'm totally useless at these, but love the challenge (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #25467: Made same connection as Tom - added 'os' for the myth group (4 years, 8 months ago)

koshatnik @ #25479: Brilliant and original. Thanks for setting! (4 years, 8 months ago)

koshatnik @ #25481: Clever grid. Somehow got the groups but would never have got the film connection. Like the Potter herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

n @ #19597: poop (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25479: Had fun with this one, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8679: Connection terms stink. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8656: Thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #25407: Excellent. Thank you (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #20921: Lovely red herrings especially Ragnaroc (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #25425: Too clever for me (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #22305: a really clever grid- I've always had a blind spot for words with a letter missing, but a perfectly fair solution. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #20927: I'm going through some old Aetees grids- one of the masters- to try to get the balance right between good construction and difficulty level. This is a perfect example, really nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25458: Different (4 years, 8 months ago)

AmeliR @ #25467: you can swap entries so it is not a unique solution (4 years, 8 months ago)

AdaF @ #25467: Brilliant! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25465: Really good :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25458: brilliant! (4 years, 8 months ago)

DaveD @ #25467: two groups are interchangeable- doubles and deuce (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25463: Good grid! Tough (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25475: It's so easy to miss a mistake before posting! Shame we can't edit these- I've had some absolute disasters! Your ideas were sound :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25478: Good grid, really interesting facts! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25246: Good grid, with a few red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

Critique @ #18196: The connection in the "shoe" group is much too broad, and the connection in the "bore" group is pretty dull. Liked the other two, though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Morgan @ #25475: I’m a complete idiot, that’s where the animal is! It was meant to be dog but I’m too much of a spoon to miss out on that (4 years, 8 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #25475: That's what I was thinking! (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #25475: Where’s the animal in Dodger? (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25458: Really good! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25430: So easily done Phill99- good effort nonetheless! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: Thanks Arthur- maybe misdirections would be a better term? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25472: Brilliant (4 years, 8 months ago)

arthur b ablabab @ #25427: Oh, I thought to call it a false group you'd need 4 items to fit that group. I did see a couple of them then. Although I lack the general knowledge to spot the greek myth ones or the vocabulary to spot the synonyms. Thanks for pointing them out anyway Lorna. PS. How could a block function work when no-one even has to sign up or sign in on this site? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25430: Sorry about Grace - I scribbled Glare in my notes and obviously didn't check it properly before submitting (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #12698: Neat (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #11343: Good grid. Well themed (4 years, 8 months ago)

Katharine @ #25467: First wall I've ever scored 10/10 on (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ria @ #25467: Good grid. Connections took some thinking about (4 years, 8 months ago)

Troyster68 @ #25467: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25467: Had "can add os" for the myth group. I guess that BIOS isn't the first thing that leaps to everyone's mind? (4 years, 8 months ago)

SGub @ #25420: How am I supposed to know what kind of car you have? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pedro @ #25472: Nice reference to rubber boots, you must be from North Scotland! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #25430: Erm, Elgar isn't an anagram of Grace? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Took @ #8403: Difficult (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25469: Learned something today! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy the Hat @ #25467: Hit the wrong button before inputting my (correct) connection! Bugger. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25467: I liked the myth group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pedro @ #25469: I've never tasted a Pitaya (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25464: Another classic grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Smale @ #25467: I spelt aggressively wrong. Can the powers that be please amend it for me? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25463: *false group (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25463: good use of a false grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Morgan @ #25467: Fantastic wall! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25460: Lovely grid really enjoyed (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25458: Absolutely loved it, right up my street, not too hard, not obscure, brilliantly executed and so good to see a new take on the NATO letters. Cannot fault this and would give it a 6 if I could. More like this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SGub @ #25466: Nice work Pedro (4 years, 8 months ago)

Josh @ #25467: My best time so far (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25455: Nice, biological theme, I enjoyed that- slight typo did not detract too much and it's easily done :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25443: Wow- really hard but top top quality. I love TL's elements. 5/5 from me (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25436: nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #25460: Dawn French - doesnt work (4 years, 8 months ago)

SGub @ #25460: Really nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kap @ #24078: Satisfying grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #25431: It was good Lorna - 7/10 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kap @ #24089: When I say court/caught and lore/law they sound the same and counsel and council pretty much the same (Goes for my partner too). I like to think we speak English properly ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25430: Interesting groups with very good crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

sid the sid @ #25427: shite (4 years, 8 months ago)

sid the sid @ #25436: Adam is a bell-end. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25425: Fell nicely into my peculiar areas of knowledge so enjoyed it a lot, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25458: Trying a variation on one I did previously. I hope it works! (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #25435: Good overall, but I always think it's a little unfair when you change the order of a hidden piece ... your "screw" clues should all be either at the front or the end of a word and not mix both, IMHO (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #25445: knew the categories, but all logical keywords I typed were not found in your answer key ... beginning to wonder if something is wrong with the site, since this is happening often at the moment (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #25455: You weren't very careful in filling out your answer key. I knew the categories correctly, typed very logical keywords, and still got them wrong. You also misspelled "aorta" on the main clue. (4 years, 8 months ago)

user1263826 @ #25439: i absolutely love this, great for when learning PE terms xoxoxo (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25434: Not (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25434: far too easy, did it in seconds (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #25438: Swiss cheese, technically speaking. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25438: Cheese has eyes? Otherwise,good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25435: Didn't get screw! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25436: Enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pop @ #14548: Alicia,that wouldn't work for W. C. Great grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Robbio @ #25428: Bears my ass (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25434: This is an easier one from you! 10/10 with a few seconds left (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25436: This was really easy but I quite liked it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25399: Good red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25428: Spent ages on sins, didn't know express, good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25435: I liked the different anagrams. Smart threw me (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25427: I think the drinks were worth it if you had that many crossovers. I fell for the insects so I went for the sports. Very nasty! I didn't notice the others but it's clever that they were all there (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25388: Thanks jay emm- appreciate a bit of positive feedback! I am going to do some hard not fiendish grids but level tends to depend on the idea more than on what I set out to do! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25399: Neat one, thanks. I think in the UK version of Clue(do) Mrs White has been replaced by Dr Orchid? (4 years, 8 months ago)

jay emm @ #25388: Loved it - your grids are fab. Too hard though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25435: very clever I enjoyed that (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: Thom- do you mean setters, or people who use the comments pages just to criticise or abuse? Setter name is clearly shown so easy to avoid... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Thom @ #25427: This site needs a block/unfollow function to filter someone out (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: SPOILER ALERT: falso groups: Greek Mythology Minibeasts (insects, arachnids etc) Sports Male animal names Synonyms (cast) Kitchen (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: Theres 2 more for my collection! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #25427: Total rubbish (4 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #25428: Really nice crossovers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lizzy @ #24495: What's an E number? Not heard of that! (4 years, 8 months ago)

arthur b ablabab @ #25427: Didn't notice any false groups. Also, don't know if it's been mentioned but it was bad form to put brands and general types of drink in the same group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alluis @ #25363: loved it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25431: Another with 3 (false). Lets see how many complaints this one gets! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: and again (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25416: Nice touch to have both spellings of whisky ;-) I typed them both out just in case! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25410: Bit odd to accept synonyms for one group and not the other, it's really the best term to accept that doesn't require players to psychically know what you are thinking wording-wise. I agree that a bit of variation in connections would help too. (4 years, 8 months ago)

TR @ #60: Need to add more allowances for answers. Duck & houses weren’t accepted (4 years, 8 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #25427: 1/10; I could barely attempt a grouping. It would be fairer either to have all brands or none in a group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #25425: 3/10 with no groups. Too much of a stretch for my general knowledge. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: yep. Told you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

TR @ #8199: Definitely earned the ‘fiendish’ difficulty, but unlike some on here, there’s not a set that I’d question (4 years, 8 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #25423: 10/10, spotting the last connection once I had the groups. I wonder how many OC aficionados will see the red herring potential with Water! (4 years, 8 months ago)

TR @ #519: Some of them are good, but aluminum isn’t pronounced different in England, it’s a different spelling; aluminium. (4 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #25387: nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #25399: first one i solved was "sauces"; plum, mustard, white , green. It works, But no? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25427: Some dubious groupings and a number of new words for me (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25425: Nice one..and I now know that a baby llama is a cria! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe90 @ #25374: Not done many yet but really liked this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: 3 and two- halfs. And a bit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25427: 3 1/2 false groups in one grid is a record for me. But I'll probably get complaints about mixing "types of" and "examples of" in one group. Hey ho... ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Caz2 @ #20676: I put toys too (4 years, 8 months ago)

Caz2 @ #20725: Never heard Gordon Brown referred to as Gordo! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Caz2 @ #20733: Bermuda etc could lead to Islands as connection too (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25367: Rivers and cheese weren't allowed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25419: Thanks! Easy if you don't fall for either false group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25423: Very nice, enjoyed that. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25373: Liked it. Didn't get the cricketers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25376: Very good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #25418: I had no idea about 2 of the groups. Not people I've heard of. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #25419: Really liked this one. Quite easy but maybe it fitted my knowledge base. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25421: It is quite obscure but a well made grid and thanks for the fascinating link! It's great to learn something from this site (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25423: fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

BigBarry @ #25423: Nice grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #19275: got it all except typed "areas for selling" and that didn't match your "markets" ... guess we can't think of every possible thing, it's on me (4 years, 8 months ago)

BigBarry @ #25421: See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise Apologies if it's too obscure. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25420: Fiendishly cunning...and beat me completely! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #25421: WTF?? Brownian noise? Pink Noise? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8630: Not a unique solution with these connections. Penguin and Ladybird are completely interchangeable. Specify adult clothing? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25388: yeah - I agree, I think its been rated as fiendish because people take a look and go "yuck" but it isn't actually that hard to disentangle- had the note entry worked ok I think people could have *maybe* worked out that it was the melodies from just looking at one and seeing the connection- I still think this was an OK initial idea and it was a LOT of work as I found the sheet music and amateurishly translated into the notes- it's a shame I squandered it on a crap grid- teach me to set them when I'm tired! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alias86 @ #25416: As Joey said, Christopher Street is famous in New York for being the location of Stonewall Inn where the LGBT riots took place in 1969. I put it in as a little nod to the Chris' (which also happens to be my name). (4 years, 8 months ago)

gnu @ #25388: You've done some absurdly hard grids before, but this wasn't one of them. This was by far one of your easiest. I rated it very easy and struggle to see how it wasn't intended as easy. The only hard part was knowing which songs the notes were from but that didn't matter really. (4 years, 8 months ago)

joey @ #25416: Christopher Street is quite historic in New York's Greenwich Village (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25416: Christopher Street?? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25391: HelpfulHint- that's great, I will do that in future if I have any more wacky ideas- this one could have worked better if it hadn't screwed up so testing will be super useful. GG- If you want novel and good you have to put up with a bit of trying and failing- be glad I'm brave enough to try and not too proud to fail- if people are fickle friends they can stick to nice predictable Harry Potter, Pokemon, playing cards and NATO grids ad nauseam. I agree my initial idea didn't play out as a full grid but I'm trying to keep things interesting. Don't give up on my grids, they won't all be great but they'll always be new material!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25399: Nice grid...enjoyed it....Barb, don't know where you're looking, but answers are where they usually are. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25396: Matty- The only way I could work two false groups plus red herrings in!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25325: Nice enough grid, though i'd think about using another character in the Alladdin line, as it is quite distracting....and also isn't accepted weirdly (4 years, 8 months ago)

tyler @ #25325: bad (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #25378: Enjoyed the numbers... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #25378: Other Fair Trade Chocolates are available? (4 years, 8 months ago)

jim @ #25388: urgh (4 years, 8 months ago)

Trix @ #583: first one completed yeah (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #25387: You are the new Lorna (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25408: Some pretty tenuous links here. (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #25393: Well done really enjoyed!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barb @ #25399: where are the answers (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25412: Too specific knowledge required (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #25391: Lorna...... you seem to be losing it. You started so well, but you are driving away all your little guinea pigs (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25409: Nice. Some good red herrings. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsS @ #25409: I wrote nobility not royal (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #25407: Superb (4 years, 8 months ago)

Iain @ #25415: I'm pretty sure Albert Einstein wasn't in Finding Nemo. I think you meant Al Brooks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #25388: This one was a bit much for me. Always good to see new types of clue though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25398: Way too specialised but good idea (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25396: good grid, Military one abit vague for me sorry, Private and Sergeant yes, but Guard and Soldier ???? (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25409: Well I didn't find it easy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #25373: Good job (4 years, 8 months ago)

Buzzler @ #25410: "Synonyms for serious" not recognised as a correct answer - need to add some alternative possible keywords that successful solvers might use. Also, two rows of synonyms and two of wordplay - might be better to vary the types of connection. (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #25411: requires some pretty obscure knowledge (4 years, 8 months ago)

HelpfulHint @ #25391: Yeah that’s the right place. the dropdown option, if you say it’s not of interest to a general audience (dont like this wording tbh) it still creates a weblink but not listed for all to see. Good for testing (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #25407: Lovely (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25409: Fairly easy but great grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

davebees @ #25407: wonderful grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25396: Me too. Setting sons is a fantastic album (4 years, 8 months ago)

97% @ #25388: Didn't like it (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25390: Agree Bob, just trying ideas out but will test first in future :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22656: V V good quiz loved this one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25391: hi @ helpful hint - can you explain the private grids option? Is that a function on the submission form ie bottom option above the cat pic? Ta (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25390: Completed fairly quickly - probably by accident - I think the notes and anagrams groups are pushing ideas too far (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25407: bumped you up a point for the rock and on TV groups- really original and fun, 5/5 good crossovers in the other groups btw (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25393: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22690: I put in cat family and was wrong, but cheetah was spelt wrong . But liked the quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #683: turning circle and dress circle mean nothing to me, threw me off (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25393: Not too difficult - but Ok (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22737: I spotted the comedians first then the boards the rest fell into place just before I ran out of time. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25407: Great grid. Links easy to see straight away but difficult to find the ones in the group. Great crossovers with little specialist knowledge required. How grids should be made. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25373: Fun grid - good crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #204: the crossing types mean zero to us americans (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #10172: never heard northern powerhouse or northern soul (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #2296: Hopeless for us Americans to solve. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8619: Not extremely difficult, but top quality grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

HelpfulHint @ #25391: Maybe better publishing tester grids privately & when ur happy with the outcome go public (4 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #25396: Nice grid. Reminds me I must play 'Setting Sons' again (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grid Goof @ #25358: Ah yes, Mike, Charlie, Tag and Rachel. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25398: Really clever categorising but I just didn't know enough detail (4 years, 8 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #186: good quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Umar Siddiqui @ #683: good puzzle (4 years, 8 months ago)

pepemcg @ #573: Nice theme :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25391: Trying to base grids on the different ways people THINK, rather than just thinking of subjects which haven't been absolutely done to death... do you hear a tune when you see the title, do you play written notes in your head, do anagrams stand out etc. Just processing ideas. They won't all work! Thanks for being kind about it! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25378: Enjoyed that one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25391: Yeah- bit of a messy experiment this one- had an initial idea but had a job to camouflage- still, break eggs and all that! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25378: It's a brand :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #25376: Good fun grid. Well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25391: Not one of your better ones I think, lorna. The 'Hey' group is fine, as is the 'gene' group, but the other two... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25389: sorry- submitted twice- glitch! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #25378: I didn’t get the Divine + Fair Trade Chocolate link. Still don’t. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25391: Sorry, still not great, too many ch. in caps so won't fit despite going into the submission boxes. Do what you can with this- less evil ones tomorrow, I promise! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #25380: Nice grid. Just right for doing on a sunny holiday! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cole @ #17997: Whoa is this one ever awful. Please stop (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25388: Apologies- entry into the squares cocked up a bit- should still play the same but a bit distracting. Also apologies that this a particularly evil and fiendish one which will only appeal to about 3% of players, but hey :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25379: I found that very hard. Three of the categories were unguessable for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25386: Not heard of the Warrens, but the other 3 groups were good. Should have spotted the planets! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25378: Nice grid. Easier than it looked at the start! (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25314: Very clever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8594: Aye, 'tis nonsense. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25380: nice and easy but lovely crossovers, a very well made grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8590: Not a bad attempt, but overshot, underarm and hot water are all valid, thus not one answer. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dr Oblong @ #25377: Oh, how embarrassing. Sorry about that, główka (and everyone else) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8573: Nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

argh @ #423: Winter ball??? Good Call??? Both are lame. (4 years, 8 months ago)

główka @ #25377: Waltz's name is Christoph, not Christopher (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25340: Good grid...lots of red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25377: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

doitallandthentherabbit @ #25367: Rivers and cheese were not accepted (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25358: Fantastic misdirection! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25368: This is a treat, thanks. Knew 3 connections straightaway but still took 2 mins to get them all. Great fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25372: lovely work, but are burger and curry interchangeable? (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25371: Mostly failed here. Don’t know enough Bond tunes and spent ages looking for non-existent film titles. Happy to see two of my all-time favourite tunes though (Dylan and Harley). Thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25367: Enjoyed unraveling this one. Straightforward enough although I admit Dove is new to me. Agree with Billy below, be mindful of keywords, although it can be tricky to navigate sometimes.Thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25363: Lovely work. I couldn’t separate the myths from the luck in the end but happy with 6 points. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25367: 2 answers in singular form were accepted, two weren't. I know we can give ourselves the points mentally, but I think grids will have happier customers in general if setters put the minimum acceptable correct answers in singular form, then players will get the point whether they give that exact answer or happen to add an 's' on the end (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25359: Great idea for a grid, nice neat theme yet still had crossovers. Thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25361: Wow, didn't know that, Krista! I hope you got a point for "shape" too? If not you definitely get one for knowing that- better link than mine! Also, that's a genius way of coming up with "character" names (beats first pet and street you grew up in) ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25361: How bizarre! I tend to separate single words in my accepted terms as it is the most forgiving way, so you'll get points from me for weird and wonderful answers sometimes, but you should have got a point for putting "shape" as I knew this was a nasty group and kept it broad! Sounds like you were being very clever and overshot! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25361: Those shapes are also `sets` for folk & square dances!(How you arrange dancers before beginning). Missing `g`! I thought Eocachin must be some elfin creature in a game I don`t play :-D (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #25371: Nice wall. Spotted the JB group right away! The scale group caught me, but I got the rest no bother =] (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25371: This is all one theme/ subject which is unusual for me- please don't complain, I'm just trying something different. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #25370: Nice wee wall. Pretty straightforward to resolve, but I couldn't get the connection with the "The Meg" group. Knew what sort of thing it was, but haven't seen any of them :p (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25369: Hard and brilliant (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25363: Not a `label/logo` person & it showed! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25367: Bit easy for a medium. Anyone else agree? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8567: Nice idea!😁 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25340: Really liked this one. I got stumped on the necks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vlad @ #25361: I got a point for guessing something about Celtic mythology for the missing g group yet nothing for guessing symmetrical on the shapes group! Guess it evened itself out. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25368: Got 10/10 but nice level of challenge here. (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25359: Spotted the theme almost immediately, but didn't know enough of the names to actually find any groups! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grob @ #25185: Forgive the pedantry, but these are only parts of fielding positions. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25364: you're back with a vengeance 5/5 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25363: Classic aetees! Funny, fair, fun, challenging but doable. Top grid, 5/4 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25361: No, still evil! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #25360: Nice grid, but pander really threw me! As a Scot, the ends of those words are totally different! :p (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ian M @ #9115: Jacket question was PANTS! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Davski @ #25327: Bollocks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25361: You must be in a benevolent mood....10/10 for once :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #25315: Agree with Lorna. Good grid. Thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25351: Straightforward but nicely done (4 years, 8 months ago)

frm @ #25224: StationARy means At Rest (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25334: Agree with Lorna here. I thought it was a very good grid. Would prefer consistency on the ‘Just’ group but it’s not a show-stopper. The other links were perfect and the whole thing was well thought out. Also it’s nice to see one with a variety of links rather than all being ‘can be followed by X’ or some other variation on a theme - that is just personal preference though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25329: I'll have to tailor a grid with that little nugget, CorenM 4PM! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25283: hear hear, joe (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25359: Noooooooooooooooooo! I was so clooooooooooose! 5/5, you rotter (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25334: I would disagree with pretty much all of that Widger- comes in bars I thought was your cleverest link. Plenty of people have hidden words with one commonality ie they're all numbers- by who's rules do they need to be sequential? The serve line, equally, worked for me. It is preferable to either have followed by a suffix or followed by a word but it's not a game killer- sometimes that choice is necessary to make a grid work, sometimes you can afford to be fussy and perfect. This looks like someone with quite a bit of rigidity of thought getting frustrated at having to be fluid and lateral. I think you did an ace job, for that same very reason. I'm sure I'd have noticed if I'd seen a grid set by one Stephen Fry as I'm a huge fan (of the real one). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grob @ #25203: #2 British isles cities seems fair enough (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25358: I was relieved to see it was a false group- the point you lost for using friends characters you got back for that little trick! (joke- use friends if you like, at least its not pokemon) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25357: This is how you do missing words well- no ambiguity about the given words fitting with anything else, they only work together in one context. Nicely constructed with some imaginitive crossovers :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25352: Original with good crossovers :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25348: your grids are always very original. Great, well thought out crossovers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25309: thanks toast- I really appreciate your reply- I practice tai chi which is great for mindfulness, have had a lot on my mind- puzzgrid is a good distraction but also- yes- cause of some insomnia! As displacement activities go it is quite rewarding though! And highly addictive. Clown- if you can eat it, it's food (this doesn't include fingernails) thanks for commenting though :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25358: I’ll apologise for this one in advance - it amused me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #25309: Lorna. I wouldn't worry too much about insomnia in the daytime unless you work nights, but if as I suppose you are suffering when you should be sleeping I suggest you try to clear your head of thoughts and concentrate on the natural subtle changes in your breathing or try mindfulness / yoga-type breathing exercises. Setting grids is an enemy of a tranquil mind in my experience. Good luck. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25283: Great stuff, thanks. I tried to force Alan Parsons into the wrong group sooo many times! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25334: Sorry you didn't like it. There are others. Thought you were excellent in Blackadder btw. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25283: – Thanks, Joe. Less prolific than before for sure, I come and go as time permits. I appreciate the appreciation 👍 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24762: Sea areas = shipping forecast areas (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24747: Lucca not Luccia and Italian cities should be close enough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Stephen Fry @ #25334: This was not good. Numbers hidden in the words followed no logical pattern. One, Two, Eight and Nine? they should at least be sequential, I figured it out but spent my time looking for ten, eleven or six. It has to follow some sort of logic. People who serve: The President? That is tenuous at best. Words followed by Ice: In the case of Justice, "Ice" is a suffix, it doesn't follow the logic of the others by being followed by the word Ice. All come in bars: What is a music bar? You can have a bar of music, but 'music bar' is not how it's referenced. Round peg, square hole. There has to be logical consistencies for this to work. (4 years, 8 months ago)

The Clown @ #25309: I'd question whether Rosemary is a food Lorna. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25329: Nice. As a good Boy Scout I got the M’aider group quickly. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25340: Got caught up in the Toy Story links. Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25330: Not too tricky. Nice one to do (4 years, 8 months ago)

honeypumpkin @ #24583: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25302: Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25333: I really liked the president and soap lines- bit of lateral thinking! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #25301: Good game (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8558: Dogwatch 😆 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8552: I enjoyed this despite the non-unique solution (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #25324: That was fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25329: Nice grid, went round the houses on digress signals (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #25317: Wow! Very clever. I didn't get this, but now you know it is kind of obvious! Great idea! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #25318: Really good! Love the red herrings- I solved it with one second to spare! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #25322: Tricky! But good. I didn't get two of the groups but they do make sense. Thanks for sharing! (4 years, 8 months ago)

glooey @ #25326: ...your cherry haha :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25321: Are those nicknames of famous teachers or are they your teachers and this has been made public by mistake? I quite enjoyed this despite a couple of bugbears. dy/dx isn’t a topic, differentiation is and is part of calculus. That group should have allowed mathematical terms as a link, but I awarded myself the point. Nice crossover in specific heat capacity ( I put units and was given the points - I’m not aware of delta) and scientists. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #25324: Very good! I liked the red herrings- I fell for it for a while! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #25326: I liked this! Nice themes! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #25328: Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25328: I like that one (4 years, 8 months ago)

joe @ #25283: Glad you're back! Top grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25314: Too many options, too little time....enjoyed it, thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25324: good idea (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25326: I really liked it! funny. (I just hope you don't work for the samaritans, or bomb disposal) (4 years, 8 months ago)

jamis @ #25323: EeEeEeEeEe (4 years, 8 months ago)

Abbie @ #25041: nice 👌 (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25326: I know I know...but I was bored listening to a client prattling on, on the phone!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gzzh @ #25314: SPOILER - At first I was disappointed that the connections were all of the same type BUT then I noticed the clever part - very neat! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gzzh @ #25308: Never heard of Radar the dog but guessed the connection thanks to a couple of the others. Nice grid with some clever misdirection! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25314: Dad skills (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25321: Also source(s) of the teachers group? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25321: you may want to add an explanation for the specific heat capacity group ie calculation? Formula? Terminologies? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25322: Rejigged an older idea- hope this works better? (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25314: I suspected it was one of those grids which included the answers but I still couldn't see them......top work fella! (4 years, 8 months ago)

stephen @ #25321: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #186: I really enjoyed this one. Thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25318: lovely- kept me guessing right to the end (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tol @ #25313: Like others have said a great idea maybe in need of refining a bit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25314: Beautiful pattern, well executed. Superb (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25315: excellent crossovers and I loved the alphabet group- inspired (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25314: Like this one, intelligent and well thought out. As a bonus no celebs or Harry Potter (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25314: Boom! A whole 6th form. I've entertained a class of 3-4 yr olds in the past but this is a whole different league. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aylesford 6th form @ #25314: We loved the way this grid is put together. Nice work! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25313: Genius! Lovely, original idea and fun to play (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25309: Sorry guys- it is me but the result of several days' insomnia! Trying too hard to do an easier one that's still a bit different. Also trying a double clues format that may work better with better subjects. Patience, my guinea pigs! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25309: An ok grid..but does not feel like a lorna one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25313: Totally agree with BinDipper’s suggestions. Very creative, I enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25309: Didn't like the format much - but easy enough to sort (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25309: I don’t think it’s a genuine lorna grid. If it is, she’s been drinking. (Again) (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25313: There’s a nugget of genius here. Love what you’ve done for the links. A suggestion to turn it into a bona fide 5 Stars - let this go a few pages down the list and then revisit the idea and make all the word changes consistent eg. 2 word titles, do it so just one word changes OR if it’s an X and Y make all the examples of the change an X and Y Nicely done CJN :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25314: Nicely done (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25314: Fingers crossed this works to give a unique solution and scratches Bagsy’s itch. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #25308: Me too Lorna. Got there in the end but took me a while to get away from palindromes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25283: Very good, one line in particular though is fiendish. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25274: Yes, I noticed as soon as i posted.....no offence meant, but although (incredibly) difficult....your grids at least make a modicum of sense. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25309: Wouldn't classify that as hard, but a nice distraction first thing. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25223: I based the entire grid on that one, terrible pun. Expect more... Thanks as ever for your very kind comments :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25308: ha- was going to mark you down for such obvious palindromes... Very well played! I admit I wasted a lot of time! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25300: 9 secs left excellent grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8542: Interesting, cunning. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8541: Enjoyed (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25223: And "Disney's frozen" is one of the nicest pieces of mis-direction I've ever seen on this site. Capitalisation! All-important! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8539: Nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8537: Nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8535: Enjoyed that one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25282: Couple of seconds to spare but only just! It was a rocky road to the result. Nicely done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eruntane @ #25252: Earls and duchesses aren't necessarily royalty, although they are nobility. But this is a clever grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25273: Surely 'Bob' should be enough?! And 'sprinters' (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25269: Cheers All. Bagsy - I was going out to Screwfix so I had to either shelve it until I nailed group 4, or whack it on the site and see what happened. I wasn’t sure anyone would like having the answers on the grid so it didn’t seem worth waiting. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nancy R @ #25285: Hmmm (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nancy R @ #25283: I found that hard! (4 years, 8 months ago)

NancyR @ #25269: Good one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25280: As Christobal said, a well set grid with some unpopular (or overpopular?) subject matter- so you won't get the praise it deserves, it seems. Nothing inherently wrong so do keep setting grids! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25282: Oh, nice one, Christobal! Glad you enjoyed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25285: I avoided the Bach/ Bark pun, d'you see? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25285: Goodness, wasn't he talented! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #25280: Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25269: Wonderful (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25247: I liked it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25280: I liked it. Well done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25280: Beckham kids has been very much overused, as has the phonetic alphabet, but if you're new, you probably didn't know. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25250: I liked this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25285: Beethoven was a St Bernard dog in the 1992 film of the same name. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25271: 🙂 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25282: 43 seconds! Sometimes they just go your way, don't they! Good grid Lorna (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vlad @ #25279: This was 2 hard 2 easy, not 1 hard 3 easy. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25283: Very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

smh @ #25270: Puzzgrid setter (4 years, 8 months ago)

Salahlahlah @ #25260: Tasty! I honestly thought the whole grid was taken from The Fat Duck menu. They’re big on toad venom in Bray, though hopefully tiger entrails are a step too far... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25281: Really hard, really informative, really good! So much there I didn't know and glad I do now. And great use of contextual camouflage esp. Jack and Jill. Brilliant 5/5 :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Doof @ #25141: This Hard (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25280: Beckham kids !!!! no thanks !!! sorry (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25269: Very clever, loved how some of the answers were right there in the grid yet it still wasn't as easy as it seemed! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #25199: I put cakes which is more right than food but it's a really good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #25199: I put cakes which is more right than food lol (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25279: (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25279: So difficult!..and now I keep singing " Hit the road Jack"! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25280: Good one and enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25279: The Chord Progression feels *very* difficult, even if you know more than one of the songs (which I didn't.) Got the rest though, even though it took about 2:30 to get the first set! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #25209: Clever grid. I wasn't so clever :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25280: Please, can any grid containing the Beckham kids be automatically rejected? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25274: yes deliberately so- someone is using my name to make joke grids, again (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25209: Never even noticed the Beatles red herring until I'd already got the toilets! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25279: Apologies if this one is a little frustrating- I've gone for a 1 hard 3 easy grid- just trying something new out. It will appeal to a few folks- accepted terms are as broad as possible. If you come close give yourself a point. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #25225: Fun and clever (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25277: EXCELLENT grid, full marks- at least 7 red herrings in one group, a whole false group, I had the right ideas but was fully eluded til out of time- masterfully done. This is the kind of grid I love (even though I scored zilch) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #25273: Tricky! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25276: good and challenging (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25275: Brilliantly done, and I love a theme! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #25273: Same comment as Andy P (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25274: That was incomprehensible (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25253: Really good. The "Card" line was great in particular. Satisfying penny drop moment. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25273: Easy enough grid but the triggers to award points could be better. It gave me 6/10 instead of 10/10. Cheers though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25225: Nice and easy but also fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25263: Nice grid. Cheers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25269: Nice one. Will admit to cheating and restarting because I got a bit lost on the way. Eventually got 10/10 after 6 (!) minutes. Nice one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #25263: I was convinced diamond was there somewhere! Nice wall (4 years, 8 months ago)

BlodwynPig @ #23348: Crap (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25060: You're right, I noticed after I submitted. 'Ash' would have been better. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25274: Not me. Using my name again (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25269: Good one. Lorna, I smiled too! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #25238: I got 70s bands but didn't say number ones :( Good grid though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25269: Easier said than done, Bagsy! Then easier done than solved, possibly. this one was just hard enough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #25269: Why doesn't the crossover theme of having the link in one of the other groups hold across all 4 groups? Just think if you're going for that level of intricacy it should be across the board. Still a good grid, though (4 years, 8 months ago)

nadja @ #6833: family clue should allow "relatives" (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25269: You know its a good grid if you smile while you're solving it. Excellent work, nice slow reveal stuff (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #25203: Love the Smiths link (4 years, 8 months ago)

salmacis @ #25261: 'Ewe' and 'Ram' aren't really animals, and 'Hen and 'Cock' aren't really birds. I'd have preferred this if you could have found 4 artists with an actual bird or animal species for each category. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25269: Great grid, very clever crossovers, enjoyed that. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22520: Oh dear ran out of time but got all the connections The Poe answers almost tripped me up (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #25264: Retail; Resting; Remark; Reward (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #25263: Kicking myself that I missed the Horcrux group. Fun grid anyway. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Zarn @ #24608: I said characters in Red Dwarf instead of game of thrones and it gave it to me. A false 10/10 (4 years, 8 months ago)

vinlend @ #24702: color was not accepted - add to colour (4 years, 8 months ago)

vinlend @ #22502: too niche (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #25260: Lorna, just to let you know that if you ever invite me round for dinner I'm washing my hair that night or some other equally unmissable prior engagement. Enjoy your meal though :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #25264: Tailer? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Doug Piranha @ #25261: Yeah, REALLY well hidden. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #25249: It didn't like 'biblical plagues' for some reason. I think the rock band name group all include the missing word 'The' don't they? (4 years, 8 months ago)

booji @ #25224: Stationary means “fixed,” “immobile,” or “unchanging.” Stationery refers to paper, matching envelopes, and writing implements. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25259: Yep palindrome, soz (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25238: Yeah, sorry Chris, what he said. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25261: genius! REALLY well hidden, unpredictable choices. Nicely played. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #25259: Did you mean Palindrome? (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25259: good one, but it's spelt palindromes.... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25259: good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25260: To be taken AFTER meals (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #24: Aft is not a time of day. (4 years, 8 months ago)

The Clown @ #25238: Chris - Charles Dance - the actor. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24626: What are you gaping at meaning? gape at someone or something to stare at someone or something in wonder. Don't just stand there, gaping at me freedictionary.com (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #24626: Gape does not mean "look". (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #24703: Book = buck? No these are not homophones. (4 years, 8 months ago)

The Clown @ #25258: Hope I've got level right (tricky when you KNOW the links) and apologies if London address clue annoys anyone. (4 years, 8 months ago)

davebees @ #25252: Not a unique solution – 'Queen' and 'King' can be exchanged! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25255: Apart from these typos and definitions (potatoes are alive?) this had some nice ideas in it :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Reynardine @ #25255: Couple of nitpicky things! Strom should presumably read Storm? Ditto "Traingle" should be "Triangle", and "None living" as "Non-living". Thanks for the grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25251: Liked it - good herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25238: Chris- you stick out your left leg, raise both hands, put them on your hips, spin once clockwise, then get shot on the toilet with a crossbow. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25248: I have to agree- to be honest I only shoehorned it in so's I could have Sonic as a red herring; he's a bit obvious for the Norman group, to my tastes! Shawshank was there to camouflage the anagrams. Giving away my MO, here! Thanks, as ever, for feedback :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25254: Nice to see some old themes done in a novel way. Good job! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25253: lovely grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25251: I liked the league group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Soap @ #25249: Good red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25246: Beat me hands down with the Utah group, didn’t know them at all! Very good :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

gnu @ #25248: Really liked the Shawshank and Spiny Norman stuff. Was almost ready to give it 5 stars just for including Spiny Norman but I didn't like the boom group so much. I mean there was probably nothing wrong with it but I didn't like it anyway. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25235: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25227: Apologies, I could have sworn I put ground and cliff in! I definitely always put "term" or "synonym" in that type of set in case I forget some words! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25186: JZ yes you're right about humer and foet- I was unaware of humeral but of course it makes sense that that would be a use. But I'm confused about D and D? Which term did you mean- it's not intentional either way. Sussurus is in the dictionary, not that obscure, seen it used a lot in lit etc. Thanks for commenting (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25234: Nighteyes : lorna @ #25248 - as promised! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25229: Nick- hold that thought if you have a go at lorna @ #25248 - wiggles eyebrows theatrically };) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25221: Hi Fisty- sorry if the message was confusing- here's what I meant: Ashamed is used as a descriptive word (adjective) Shame is used as a named thing (noun) as in "I'm feeling shame"- Shame is also used as doing word (verb) "Don't shame her" CT/I couldn't find an example of "ashame" in the present tense ie as a verb, but it is usually seen as "ashamed" as an adjective. Hope that explains what we meant! I've had another look at this grid, it's not bad construction at all. Keep posting! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25238: Charles actually made me say "oh that's clever" out loud! Herb group was good too. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25248: Apologies- one entry was meant to read Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding but for some reason was cut on submission. Hope it still plays ok? (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25234: Looked for cakes, then wedges! But I got flies and enemies. Great grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25238: Dunno what a Charles dance is (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25229: Nice distraction tactic! Very enjoyable grid and I learnt two new types of cheese (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25238: Very good. I learnt a new type of butter. Enjoyed the waggle group :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

JZ @ #25186: I'm sure humer and foet are interchangeable, and I looked up sussur and that's extremely obscure. I don't think dungeons & dragons terms should be included in general vocabulary groups. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fisty @ #25234: Hi loran, you have feedback on my grid (fisty) not sure what you meant. Want to do more and make sure are good. Nice wall btw (4 years, 8 months ago)

IrishQuiz @ #25196: To the setter... since you are in Ireland, are you aware of the Irish Quiz Organisation and our events? quizireland.ie (4 years, 8 months ago)

IrishQuiz @ #25198: Nice work! Since you are in Ireland, are you aware of the Irish Quiz Organisation and our events? quizireland.ie (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #25196: No, I don't! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25226: OK, it is not an island, but they are all cars. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25209: The ‘games’ line stumped me totally but this was fun, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25226: There's a Grenada? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25234: Thanks Nighteyes! More scrumptious than dung cakes, certainly! I now want to work Spiny Norman into a grid... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25227: A good, solid, middling difficulty grid. Full marks in 35s. Well, it would have been if it had accepted "high ground or cliffs" for the Bank group, so I'll take that as correct. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25228: This was one which revealed itself slowly. I started with the obvious i.e. the writers group. Good old Kenneth Pigs was obviously next. Then we have eight anagrams - all of Abraham S. Huh? Ahhh! Four are names, and the others aren't. Gotcha! Delightful. Simply delightful. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25235: Lovely grid- I found it easy but I've just been looking at a list (of the kakapo group). The scampo group really appealed to me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #25200: Not good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25229: Fairly easy (10/10 in 50s) but rewarding nonetheless. Thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25226: Nicely put together, but I don’t think Granada is an island? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25234: Saying "a good grid by Lorna" is beginning to feel like tautology. Another Doug & Dinsdale special. Hard but fair. What puzzles me, though, is how on earth did I get this old without ever once hearing of Sand Cake? It looks scrumptious. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25230: The infantile group is the best, though, to be fairer to the player, making it all 3 words or all four words would be a more consistent group. Also, perhaps it is a matter of accent, but to me, shorn and Shaun sound very different. Still, this is an excellent grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mike @ #25224: Stationery rather than stationary surely? (4 years, 8 months ago)

NickW @ #25229: lorna - Boom boom (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25214: I've re submitted this one as the typo affects game play :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25221: Actually, I think CT is right- not seen it without the d? ie adjective not verb (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25230: Oh, lovely lovely lovely. 5 stars! Excellent word play, challenging to spot, nice mix. Terrific grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25229: Gives a whole new meaning to "wheel of cheese" (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #25230: Infantile group is tough but fair. Otherwise excellent! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #25222: Osprey? Can’t think of any examples of that. Nearly a good grid but no chance if you don’t play that computer game. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #25221: Got the bananas and nice groups quickly. Didn’t spot shame as part of that group, not seen it used that way (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25224: Nice, very easy but well done (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25226: Easy but nicely put together (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #2748: Great (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew @ #25197: It was fun, interesting red herrings. Once I figured out where Angel fell, it all came together, but it took me almost two of the three allotted minutes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25220: Very good. And I’ve a learnt a new type of wave! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25218: Very good. For some reason I laboured over the connections but they were all fair and well crafted :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25217: Good one. Not too tricky, thanks for submitting (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8489: Can't fault it, very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8487: Repeat word means not a unique solution. Didn't think it even possible, don't think it desirable. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25226: Again- easy but good quality, something about the hoof group really made me smile! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25224: Great idea for a group which offers so many red herrings- lucky for me I went for it first! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25228: Deja vu? Resubmitted this due to a typo- thanks @Me for flagging that :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Barney @ #1396: Great wall (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25223: Excellent grid. Very puzzling! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Geraint @ #22028: Nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

container @ #2059: What's great now could be that manufacturers of those bins at the moment are making bins especially for Christmas decorations with slots for each tree ornament. Making it is reasonably challenging, low price and interesting. Any retailer you go to right this moment may have not less than ten, if not greater than ten, kinds of plastic storage bins. Today, there are many individuals throughout the globe in the present day who're using silver in colloidal kind as a recommendation from their therapist, dietician or homeopathic specialist in terms of treating any number of illnesses. Fine the right fit on your wants at present. Big plastic storage containers with the covers and the capability to add up on prime of one another are typically perfect on this instance. Many manufacturers deal with plastic-sort storage containers which may be put up from louvered panels or piled on prime of each other. Though you make use of clear plastic boxes and may see what you may have positioned inside, trying to find something can be simpler if you set labels on each of the boxes. https://strategicind.com/ (4 years, 8 months ago)

Waynezel @ #25202: The girls one should have "girls" as one of the words that gives you the point. A couple of the other groups are a bit esoteric too; I picked the chemical elements and was annoyed that that wasn't the link you were thinking of. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Toto @ #25220: Nice grid, liked the red herrings 👍🏻 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eruntane @ #25184: Big fan of Frasier and I'm ashamed how long it took me to get that group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #5344: haha can this read my mind? I will award myself the point for saying ale (not beer) which wasn't accepted :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #25217: Thank you Toto, good puzzle (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25214: darnit you're right- made a last minute change and forgot to adjust- but as my mum says, it's the little faults that prove it's home made! Well spotted, thanks, shame I can't edit (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kimi @ #25217: Really enjoyed this puzzle, great job x (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25218: quite a nice grid- the term for "words that sound like other things" is homophone- if you add that next time to accepted terms more people will score points :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #25214: You’re missing a g in Kneeshine (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #25215: stumped me - rings the only good clue for my age (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25188: I’m familiar with the song but still missed the connection. Different (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #25208: Clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

ahay @ #25214: This had me smiling all the way through. Well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25212: Well I never knew a newsboy was that too-until now. But it was the only one left at that stage :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25213: Nice easy one :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25213: As easy as 12 secs but weirdly a lot of fun- would be nice to have a few more like this for "speed rounds", I'd really enjoy that. Good style :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25211: Nick- missing words version, rather than traditional puzzgrid- eg puzz *** setter makes- Puzzgrid, grid setter. Most other grids are the more traditional style- I like inventing new styles- if you're not au fait with the site yet, I apologise for the confusing format. Hope you enjoy and good luck :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gor pal @ #25191: You have found another way to work your magic! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25212: It was quite exciting getting that near the deadline, actually- don't apologise! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25200: wow- good spot, Krista, that never occurred to me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25211: Brilliant! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #8467: Solomon is still incorrect on the grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #25211: What just happened? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25212: Bemused obs, no you can't edit unfortunately. Nice grid. Took me 44 seconds. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25212: Very good. Not too tricky and needed some general knowledge (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #25213: Need to watch Only Connect a few times to get the idea of how this works. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #25206: when I had 2 groups left I had Pink, Bush and Flower but couldn't find the 4th one... (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25209: Very good and I fell for the obvious group that wasn’t one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25208: So clever! Once I’d got the pattern I raced through the groups. I waited for the group that didn’t fit but there wasn’t one...the double bluff Lorna!! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25212: Sorry Lorna, there shouldn’t have been two dandies! I realised I’d messed up just after I pressed submit, but I don’t think you can go back and edit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25167: Very good - only got one group though! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25204: I think it’s wolf moon not wolfs. I was looking for something more specific on the bush group (thought I saw a Tea connection!) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #25200: Ariels,Sailer,Resail,Serial....They are aslo homophones of different words- Sailor & aerials,resale & cereal. That`s what I saw. :-/ (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25211: Another good one Lorna! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25212: 2 seconds left! I knew what i was looking for but it didn't like me putting the wrong Dandy in so I had to cycle twice- that's enough exercise for one evening! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25208: Very good! Very creative, and took me 2½ mins so not too easy, not too hard! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #186: Loved it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #8403: Excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #25209: Excellent grid - love The Beatles super red herring (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #10711: This is good. Quite clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #11619: Very entertaining! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25203: for some reason I got this despite not being overly familiar with 2 of the groups! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25201: Wonderful- love the bean group, false lead- I was going to call you harsh for having a red herring within a hidden words group- then I remembered I did that! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jane @ #357: Apparently golf wasn't a good enough answer. Even though the connection was golf. ??? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25200: Very good- I sat staring (not literally) at colon, expertly hidden in plain view- good choice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25193: Some interesting groups. Enjoyed the variety. I think Bouron is a typo? Thanks for submitting, (4 years, 8 months ago)

CandyCat235 @ #25207: I know i made this grid but i think it is good quality and definitely a medium level. I hope you all enjoy very much!!!!!!!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25199: excellent, lovely mix of subjects (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25198: 5/5, twice in a row. Your work is right up my street! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25191: Like Nighteyes, I got carried away with being clever and missed the obvious. Although I didn’t lick myself afterwards. Supple! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25195: Ah I love a false lead! Excellent construction. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25183: Hi Nighteyes- it was designed to blend with the other four esises (esisi? esisusses?) I personally have come across the word rather a lot, as I've had 2 kids- be grateful that you're less familiar! ;) Grateful, as ever, for the intelligent, well considered feedback (4 years, 8 months ago)

griddlesticks @ #25203: overly-specific connection for the British cities IMO (4 years, 8 months ago)

guzzprid @ #25200: Perhaps slightly harsh not to simply accept "anagrams" for the rearranged israel group? They're anagrams of the words listed there, as well as israel.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

guzzprid @ #25199: Dang.. got none of the groups, then all of the connections.. (It was also a bit forgiving in that it allowed "food" as solution for the "pastries" group). Nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

UrsaMedium @ #25174: Agh! Got two groups in 20 seconds, and then couldn't finish it! Glorious wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25199: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25180: I quite often describe myself as "reasonably gruntled". Nice wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25183: Emesis? Would emetic have been more fair perhaps? Antiemesis seems a bit rarefied, even when looking in medical papers. Otherwise, again, a nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #15481: definitely have a problem with your definition of 22/7. How can it be an equation when there isn't an equals sign? Pi cannot possibiy be equal to 22/7 since pi is an irrational number. 22/7 is used as an approximation. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25184: Big Frasier fan, but never seen the Chaser, so that was my downfall. Can't abide Bradley Walsh, so that mars Dr Who a tad too. Shame. Still, it has got so blatantly moralistic nowadays, it is getting hard to watch anyway. It is a shame the first female Doctor has not had better storylines to work with. Oops! I appear to have drifted off topic a bit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25178: Another good one Lorna! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25185: It may be usual, but it shouldn't be encouraged. Free does NOT sound like three. Other than that, a good wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25191: Very good! It wasn't til the last 30 seconds that I realised what a trickster you are Lorna! You're my fave gridder! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25186: Maybe it is just me, but I thought the "numeral" group was perhaps a tad loose? Other than that (oh, and the "bash" group ought to accept "parties" as an answer), it was good was usual. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #25179: Good grid, though I'm not keen on duplicate words. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25189: Lovely. The epitome of a good general knowledge wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25191: Not "thick" but "trick"... wordy trick (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25191: Cunning. I found the anagrams then seriously bent my brain trying to find what wordy thick the other had, all to no avail. Finding they were linked so simply was a bit jarring, at first, but then I just licked myself. Thank you Lorna. You seem to be one of the best exponents of novel themes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8471: Very nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8469: Plural and singular should be accepted (4 years, 8 months ago)

Colldog @ #25195: Wow. Flummoxed! (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25189: great! (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #25194: good grid but not "very easy"! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25195: Toy Story herrings - so many! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8457: It is frustrating to find a board without a single valid solution - DOWNSIDE and BACKFIRE are both perfectly good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

6yearold @ #25196: do you say "bark-elona"? (4 years, 8 months ago)

6yearold @ #25195: my doggy name rex (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25180: Five stars, great grid! Really liked the wieldy group :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25179: Very good! Spotted three groups early and then got puddled. Good work! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25176: The thumbs up group beat me! And there it was staring me right in the face. Excellent grid work (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25183: Ha! Absolutely gorgeous. Loved the "bean" group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25185: True, it's not the standard pronunciation, but it's fairly usual to hear it in many parts of the UK - I actually really liked that group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25187: The "nob" group is the only one I got before time ran out! Really fun - well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kohl Rabbi @ #8883: this Grid is totally tyson GAY (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25189: Fab! Really enjoyed this one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kohl Rabbi @ #19689: Loved the animals group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25172: Thanks for the comments! (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25173: Both Tate & Lyle and Lea & Perrins are companies founded in Britain, and they're both still headquartered in Britain. I don't think describing them as "British food companies" is incorrect! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kohl Rabbi @ #25187: great furniture group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kohl Rabbi @ #25187: great furniture group (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kohl Rabbi @ #25184: omelette (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kohl Rabbi @ #25030: awesome grid. you rule. can i have yr babies? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Altern9 @ #25187: too hard for me, got none of the groups, fun though (4 years, 8 months ago)

Altern9 @ #21861: Fittingly I found this on Burns Night! (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #25172: Excellent Grid, that one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8447: Top notch, hard though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8442: The letter group is good (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25171: If you are timed out before the reveal, there is a message at the bottom of the page which reads "click here if you need to check the answers before rating" which will give you the chance to read the answer. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

20200125 @ #25186: Finished with a few seconds to spare! Very enjoyable - challenging but fair (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8439: Not clever, just arcane. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25191: It's meant to say "multiple" in the explanation for the "true" group- typo- please don't comment! It won't affect points! (4 years, 8 months ago)

The Duke @ #25171: How do we find out the answer of the final group? (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25174: Enjoyed that one. I worked out the final group with my final guess. Thanks :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

I have a tummy ache @ #9684: I want my money back! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SNialls @ #10121: Click the rabbit! (4 years, 8 months ago)

ahay @ #24986: This was a great idea and a lot of fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25189: I loved this grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25158: I enjoyed this grid, including the glasses and Tarot groups. (4 years, 8 months ago)

crinkle @ #25188: Maybe a bit of a pedantic criticism, but Renaissance and Modern refer more to periods in art history, whereas Cubism and Impressionism are art movements (both movements happened broadly during the modern period). Makes the connection feel a bit clunky. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25189: Ah- I'm so sorry! It needs the s at the end, although it shouldn't- take a point anyway! It's so easy to miss potential entries when submitting (4 years, 8 months ago)

crinkle @ #25189: "wonder" wasn't accepted for the wonders of the world one, which I thought was a little severe. Otherwise excellent grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

crinkle @ #25187: hardest grid I have yet attempted on this site I think! but a lot of fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mike @ #8386: I put horse riding terms and that wasn't accepted. Easy grid, rubbish marking. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25185: I fink you are right. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25155: Just to prove you’re not a bot I’d imagine, Lorna. A very simple version of ‘click on the pictures containing a traffic light’.The other two animals are the pictures with no lights. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25155: I've been meaning to ask about that- when commenting it says please select the rabbit- what are the eagle and stag for? Can anyone enlighten me? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Mansly @ #25188: Fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25162: Ah- I wondered if anyone would see the Thomas Harris- I can always rely on you! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25187: Herrings!!! Herrings everywhere!!!! Groups of 10! Groups of 6! Cap well and truly doffed- took 2 goes, not a sausage. Chasing right ideas around for an exhausting 6 minutes. I laughed at "functional but out dated"- mental image of teetotal, celibate vegans crashing into rocks at night- modern times! no points for me, ten for you :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25171: Nice grid. Not too tricky (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25167: Clever and inventive, like it! Supreme grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #24442: Rhyme should be counted as a correct answer (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25162: Ah the classics always catch me out :( Threw me with Hannibal and Red Dragon! Very good :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Janet Ore @ #25174: Good ideas, very entertaining. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Mansly @ #25053: This one was awesome as heck! Good challenge (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #25185: Good stuff, but one of the clues just does not fit it's true pronunciation. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25186: Toughie! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25184: Love Frasier. Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25184: sweet (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joris Bohnson @ #25180: Very nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #25167: Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #25167: Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sigh @ #17323: Why label a grid as American if you are going to fill it with British things? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25173: Fantastic grid, as ever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Soups @ #25173: Tate and Lyle is not a British company and does not use British sugar. Lea and Perrins is owned by Kraft Heinz. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wesley @ #25174: Fun grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #25174: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #2748: Nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25176: Thank you Sid! And thank you for graciously not pointing out that I obviously spend way too much time staring at this website! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25176: Superb gridding; kicking myself that it beat me, but great stuff. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25179: To answer that, as its a FAQ on here- I tried the correct combination for that group and it didn't work. I tested it with the duplicate word and it worked, so yes it does affect the grid- finding that one word works in two groups is an ideal opportunity to add a red herring, this may be preferable to you than using it twice? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25180: the group more commonly known by their antonyms do have definitions, I think. It was however still a coherent group so didn't affect the game. Sorry for the blatant pedantry! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25177: Fun grid, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Suzanne @ #25174: Great grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25178: Enjoyable and well constructed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25179: Not sure if duplicate words are valid, but I guess the grid works ok. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #3712: Enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Colmac @ #25095: Too hard for me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #25180: Good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #25180: Could do with other keywords re: the least obviously connected group (trying not to spoiler). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Will @ #25174: Very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25155: Toferino- "Thing" was a disembodied hand which served the Addams family (4 years, 8 months ago)

Angry Tom @ #25149: Top board - keep boarding Lorna. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lcarl @ #25155: too easy, selecting the rabbit is the hardest part (4 years, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #25155: Addam's hand? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hannah @ #25174: thank you loved it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25178: apologies- I've noticed that two words could technically be switched- although I haven't seen any example uses (notation) it could still possibly work. I hope you still enjoy :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rabbite @ #25155: Didn’t finish in time but very clever and becomes obvious after the grid resolves. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #25174: I don't subscribe to Sky, so no chance of getting that one (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25160: I understand your problem now. Not only has Google broken but so has every other search engine, and Wiki. Truly it is a bleak day on the internet. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25160: Well... once upon a time there was a man called Fibonacci. The end. Dad skills. (4 years, 8 months ago)

David M @ #25174: Good one. Could not get the witness, news etc. Group (4 years, 8 months ago)

MonkeyBrain @ #22589: I get that not all metals are elements, but in this case they are all elements. Otherwise a good puzzle. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #25160: WTF's a golden rectangle? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Macca @ #25174: Got the categories, just couldn't get the right fit. Good fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Toferino @ #25150: Nice theme running through it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kingus @ #25174: Fun grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

SixtyFootToes @ #25167: Good but I agree that just one anagram group would have been better. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25175: False lead did for me- well played! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lucky 91 @ #25174: I thought there was a Ben Folds group at first because of Sports and Wine. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25167: thanks- as in different source word, or another distractor? (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25174: Curses..got the Battle and Bar groups and had worked out there was a silent group but just couldn't get the right combo......AAAGH!! But....even if I had I wouldn't have known the Sky connection. Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25174: A couple of really original ideas in there. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ben Travers @ #25174: So close.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25172: I always know yours are going to be very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #25155: My vacuum normally has dust and dirt LORNA (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Big @ #25164: Not big and not clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25167: Mainly very cool, but I think it would be improved if you'd substituted something else for the Hugo Roth group. Loved the Karma group! And the Oath Cheer group is genius - really amusing and clever, especially with the distractor in the Touch by Touch group :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #25164: what? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Johno @ #25171: Best one I have ever done ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25158: I quite liked the glasses group! And great distractions in Kermit and Grover :) The tarot one was interesting - I worked out that it was words with the first letter changed, but didn't know enough about Tarot to make that leap. My advice - if the group needs two "steps" to work out (e.g. the first letter changes and then the thematic connection), it's probably best not to require specialist knowledge in the theme. It just makes it too hard to do in the time available. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25162: Good one..made me go and do a bit of research on some of the names. And by research I mean google!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

james charles @ #25171: jk i love it goood job (4 years, 8 months ago)

james charles @ #25171: sucks ass (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25152: Absolutely excellent! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Luke @ #25165: GG EZ (4 years, 8 months ago)

james charles @ #24997: bit of a stretch but ok (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25147: Got to love a grid where 7 1/2 clues could fit with one link. Aye - Custer generally called General but I think he was a Colonel when he copped it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #25162: Very enjoyable! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25149: Salahlahlah- spot the fake??? Do you feel the power... jms -you deserved it- I'm not entirely evil Gnu- that's an impressive backhand you've got there! ;) Matty- Simpsons character- yeah, I went there, sorry (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25155: "sound of" was a cryptic indication of a homophone, as was the "21st" clue. Glad you completed! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25160: Nearly got there- the shorts line was one of those "oooooh!" ones! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cheryl @ #44: I put The for the last clue but was not accepted although it was in the answer (4 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #15242: AA Milne not accepted for Pooh group? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25149: Disco Stu ???? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #25155: Sound of a sheep, so went with Bar, thought Ewe was a female sheep, but fun and completed (4 years, 8 months ago)

Salahlahlah @ #25149: Thanks Lorna. It was the last group I got! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25144: Wow you spotted some red herrings that I didn't know were there! You're probably right about Borat- I included him as he spoofs people in character- I hoped that would count as a kind of incognito individual. Thanks, as ever, for your feedback :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25147: In articles about the Battle of the Little Bighorn, in particular, he is referred to as Colonel George Custer. It was intended as a bit of a red herring- sorry if it caused consternation! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #25150: Nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25155: Liked this one.....and completed (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25144: Chased too many dead ends...Castles? People with moustaches? Berries?? Coronation St characters?? Is Borat strictly speaking an alter ego, or a character? TBF he's often described that way :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pedant @ #25147: Colonel Custer??????? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Megan @ #25025: I had a wonderful time, thoroughly enjoyed. Recommended by 9/10 dentists. (4 years, 8 months ago)

patrick @ #25025: had a blast so i did. not for the faint of heart (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25140: Enjoyed that! I think "Lovely" is a bit of a stretch though. Look forward to your next one :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25136: I learnt 2 new types of spider! Good variety (4 years, 8 months ago)

wabby @ #25158: very poor grid. Glasses and tarot categories are not good at all. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25155: Very inventive, didn’t quite complete it, but nearly there! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25152: excellent grid full points from me. Irish goodbye- to sneak off (eg party) without... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8416: Good one😁 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25158: cracker group was clever (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8414: Didn't enjoy. An oversupply of herring IMHO. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25155: Yar, as in Heisenberg principle? Hopefully it was still enough of a pointer to the word! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25148: fun. Should be Achilles not Archilles. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25152: Not bad, the only one i haven't heard of is Irish Goodbye??? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25155: Easy but better than some of your other ones :) I do need to (pedantically) point out though that there isnt nothing in a vaccuum. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25158: i have to say that glasses one is one if not the dumbest categories ive seen thus far...the tarot one isn't much better...sorry but this one was silly. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Deb @ #8718: Easy for an American, but very creative and really fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25149: One of your easier ones lorna!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Extant @ #25084: One of the best ones on here. Just brilliant (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gnu @ #25149: First grid I've ever seen from you that's not absurdly and unreasonably difficult. Well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #25150: Loved it! So many crossovers, great. (4 years, 8 months ago)

edc @ #24987: i really liked this puzzle! I dont speak french but got it all. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25148: There was a Betty Boo- 90's music. Not to be confused with Betty Boothroyd (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #25137: EINSTEIN WAS A THIEF AND A FRAUD, NOT A PHYSICIST AT ALL.HES SCUM (4 years, 8 months ago)

Phill99 @ #25148: Yes - sorry - I made a slight boop (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #25145: completed in 12 clicks - a first for me - but I still didn't get the last group - a certain game (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25130: Some wicked red herrings. Didn’t know sleeve but I was pleased to know the rest of that group. A tough one but fair (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25129: Enjoyed that grid! Only got the On The Back group by elimination but was chuffed to get 10. Thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25135: Nice! Enjoyed that one. Straightforward but not too easy (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25146: I like the use of an entire non existent group, i.e. the -y group. I spent ages checking all combos of those before i gave up. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25148: Should boo be boop? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25148: Lovely! Rusty Ryan sounds like it could be a red herring for the achilles group! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25149: Salahlahlah- this one's for you!!! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Salahlahlah @ #25130: Clever stuff. Liked it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25127: I miss Bruno *sigh* (4 years, 8 months ago)

Salahlahlah @ #25136: Enjoyed the explanations! Diving Bell was a great red herring, for me at least, as I looked in vain for butterfly links. But please, can we dump Gladiators now? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Salahlahlah @ #25139: Agree that the tree set is a bit contrived. Like the Sono set, though! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #17787: While Springsteen may have sung "War" and "Trapped", they're not "Bruce Springsteen songs" as in being written by him. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25146: very well disguised- I worked hard to get these! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25127: Ahem...”mind the gap”... ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #25146: Good news, I'm not dead. And neither are the alphabet walls. (4 years, 8 months ago)

UrsaMedium @ #25140: Lovely grid. Chuffed to get it within a minute (which probably says more about me than the grid setter...) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #25124: Nice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #25116: Very clever! I was convinced Ales was a group (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #25121: Beat me but a fair grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25144: never heard of the IT crowd (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25138: Excuse me, actually, I don't want to sound too pedanticismified, but I do however think you'll find it's technically spelled MWAHAHAAAAAAAA! (EVIL cunning plan). That's you told. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25138: Aha...my cunning plan worked!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8407: Sorry never had the chance to see these match brands (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25142: Nice to see a less predictable animal set :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25128: Ruth- thanks for proving that it can be done! Hat's off, it wasn't an easy one :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8405: Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Schwa @ #1396: Nice grid. The bout group.. I was able to put in the word "word" and it said it was correct (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25140: Interesting and novel (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25128: Peekay- thanks for commenting- the explanation was lengthy but I keep accepted terms as broad as I possibly can- you don't need to word the answer perfectly. Things like "plant" will do. Hopefully folks will get 1 or 2 easier ones, spot a pattern, work out the harder ones (possibly with pen and paper and a couple of tries?) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ruth51 @ #25128: Amazingly I got this all correct in the time. I really like your grids but often difficult to finish in the 3 mins even if you can work out the links. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bloomers @ #25121: if the stripes are descending red white blue Serbia is red blue white Slovakia is white blue red (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25138: Not a sausage. I was chasing baldies all over the shop. Feel punch drunk * (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25137: Nice use of Faraday (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25138: Kohnnie...indeed they were but you could not swap them with any in the group of those beaten by Ali as none of that group ( Dunn, Bugner, Liston and Cooper) beat Ali in a title fight. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #25128: Incredibly difficult....i get what your'e trying, and appreciate it, but even after identifying some of the missing words, it was really difficult trying to grasp what you were after as links? Maybe just me being a bit slow. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #25138: A little bit of boxing knowledge certainly helped ... both Frazier and Norton were also beaten by Ali. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #25139: Not crazy about the tree set ... also have never come across Hemp milk (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25133: Had I been more au fait with the life and works of (the actor in question) then I could have taken 10/10 here. As it was, I struggled towards 5/10. Cheers. Good mix. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bruno @ #25110: Loris Karius level quiz. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bruno @ #25127: bad bad bad bad disappointed. won't come back. don't recommend. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25138: I apologise in advance if people failed to correctly identify the two Ali groups...it was hard to select words that would get a tick...so award yourself the points anyway (4 years, 8 months ago)

Shane @ #25133: Nice liked the crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #25124: Didn't know the Honda category but enjoyed it otherwise (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25132: I take it you're not rushed off your feet today either? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25132: Utterly baffling only got 2 groups (2 letter) but completely fair! Just didn't spot the word play- nicely done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25132: Just messing about... if you play this, the odds against the top line reading how I'd like are 43,679-1. (4 years, 8 months ago)

epic gamer @ #25088: so ez lol xd :9 :^) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25095: Enjoyed this a lot, thanks. Did okay once I abandoned cops and found the Jimmys! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #24935: Interesting username to say the least. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22358: good quiz. easy. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #22367: I thought this was great- typos are easily done, but it was still playable despite the unintentional entry, (still a red herring where needed) and a really good "in plain sight" group which made it tricksy, but fair. Not difficult but good quality (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22366: Good quiz. Remembered the tasks of Hercules only because I love Agatha Christie. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25128: Argh! That was difficult! Just about had all the connections but didn't actually manage to find a full four in any group before the time ran out! I wasted a lot of time at the start as I had gone down the wrong route on what the links were going to be. Very good, would have liked a bit longer and I think I could have got all 10 instead of the 4 I managed for the connections. As ever, a good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25129: meant to say, this was very fun. Distracted by the question! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25129: yes I'd say so- but I got the wacky ref- some may be too young? Hard to say with cultural refs, but I'd agree with med, personally (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25129: Sorry. Forgot to adjust the thing for rating. A medium? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22367: great quiz, but two red herrings??? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25094: A fun mix, scored 6/10. My favourite part was that I wrote "gay musicals" for the Pink Flag line, both as a bit of a stupid joke to myself and a nod towards the famous IT Crowd episode, and it was accepted as a correct answer. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #25124: A good entry level grid. Scored 10/10 in under a minute. The Civic overlap has been done a lot on this website though and that would be my main criticism. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #4750: Why is this in best grids? It’s crap (4 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #25121: Not a unique solution. You can swap Luxembourg with Serbia or Slovakia (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25126: 36 seconds....and guessed every group as I soon realised I hadn't a clue........I'm off to buy a lottery ticket!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jaoef @ #25040: hello finn it is i (4 years, 8 months ago)

jaoef @ #8403: awesome quicz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25124: I enjoyed it although I didn't get full marks. Never heard of the Honda Amaze, but I knew the category. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #25125: That was good and enjoyable, although maybe a tad too easy! I got 10/10 so must be easy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25097: Thanks Karen et al! Ossie- ha ha, you're right! It was just "anagrams for each other" but I just picked one out at random. This week, I arrr be mostly giving- "technically" incorrect solutions! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25116: @Amos. Yes I hoped the Cant’s Miller clue would get a smile (or more likely a groan!). Thanks for the feedback. @Lorna :) @Pedant. They are in Yorkshire :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pedant @ #25116: Aunt and Ant are not homophones. Have a good day (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #25125: Nice one. I only got the rice group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Karen @ #25097: Your grids are always the most rewarding Lorna. Got this one but only just! Brilliant (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #25123: That's not all Sainsbury's is missing- the S in the middle for example (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #25094: 5 stars for including Wire. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25105: I was sure the theme linking Vanderbilt and Lionel Richie was going to be Commodores. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bug is not an insect @ #24437: it is a generic name for the group of beings called insects. should have been a specific kind of *cough* "bug" (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rossco @ #842: Good grid, daunting at first but got there in the end. Except I misspelled Fibonacci :( (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25097: Err technically Father Ted is not an anagram of Father Ted..............I'll get my coat! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25101: Oh very good....but now you've played it I reckon I'll spot it next time.............!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25123: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25110: Oh hang on....just got it....I think the description should say 'words' not 'word' to make it a tad clearer.....just a thought....but a cunning group that's for sure. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25110: Nope....you've completely lost me with the a b c group.....??????????? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: ps I need to come up with some new tactics, to dodge perceptive folks like yourself! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25122: A nice, wittily self aware grid. I could almost feel people bristling at the American spellings! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: Feedback very much appreciated! I try to back- chain my answers so that I'm not guilty of mind blindness- you shouldn't have to make too much of a leap- I like people to be able to work out the link from the given information- more satisfying than just knowing/ not knowing- by having paired clues I was hoping that the less obscure one would help with the harder one. Spotting the link in this type of grid is usually a bit of a memory test so it's probably an idea to write stuff down or take a couple of goes! It's good to get feedback to see what works, what's too hard/ frustrating, as I'm trying different styles and approaches. Good luck with the rest! (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25054: You're developing at quite a rate. When I was 12 I had no idea about sexual tension. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #25116: Pubi Chair was a aha moment that Amos unfortunately missed out on! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Catherine @ #24968: Smith and Baker are interchangeable in the DW and surname groups, aren't they? (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #25110: I think the Ibis group would be okay in the sequence round of only connect but a bit tricky to spot in amongst 4 different groups, (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25116: It took me a while! I was thinking- what's pubi chair? Mind the gap (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rosy @ #25110: Bit crytic, the last one (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #24986: great grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #25106: Never heard of cabinet pudding, think I tried every other combination! Well played (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith Pratt @ #204: I bet the seppos loved this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25110: Good grid. The ibis group was tricky because there is a sequence to it rather than all the clues working in their own right. Nice crossovers :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rosy @ #25090: I felt I got them all right - I put dictionary (instead of dictionaries) and runners rather than sprinters (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amos @ #25116: Love the she's songs and comedy double acts. They're inspired! Didn't care for the windy group though and I think you've misspelt pub? (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25106: A more conventional grid! Another good one :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25032: loved the blind group (4 years, 8 months ago)

emmy @ #25112: meh (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25107: Nice one, Willows Rd! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #25054: O WOW THE SEXUAL TENSION AMONGST LORNA, BINDIPPER, AND OSSIEP9 IS PALPABLE. Someone cue up a Marvin Gaye record because it's about to go down xxx xx xxxxxxxxxxx This is my favourite form of social media. Love you all, jellylegs! Cheers xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25004: @Lorna: I can often guess or realise the last answer in a group, once I’ve got the connection. That can’t be done if you need to work out the answer in order to see if it’s part of a group. That’s not a criticism, I enjoy your grids and I’m starting to see some of your tactics! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25104: fiendish si group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Batgirl @ #9875: Great Wall, loved the red herrings. Agreed, water isn’t specific enough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24955: It can be disease, pestilence, plague or conquest depending on the source, I believe- I did a bit of research as I had a 4 horsemen clue. "Though theologians and popular culture differ on the first Horseman, the four riders are often seen as symbolizing Conquest[1] or Pestilence (and less frequently, the Christ or the Antichrist), War,[2] Famine,[3] and Death.[4] " Wikipedia (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25090: Very much agree with what Patrick said (apart from the dad bit) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kenty @ #24955: This is inaccurate. Horsemen clue is wrong. Conquest should be disease. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gaffer @ #24929: Kat Slater!!!!!!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25103: good red herrings (4 years, 8 months ago)

Patrick @ #25090: Good one, Dad ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25097: Loved Goldilocks connection! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25101: Ok- challenge accepted- Absolute trousers, trousers down, down vodka, vodka absolute (cheated a bit) ;)- (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25090: Sorry Keith, lazy clueing by me, it isn’t an exact science! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #25090: So “dictionary” is not a valid answer? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25102: I thought the "problems" group was "side"- given some of the other lines and clues! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr C @ #25101: Absolute trousers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #25098: Another good one at which I did very badly. A very fair wall, no quibbles, nothing obscure, and, apart from the six quarters, no major problem with red-herrings. So why did I only manage to scrape a measly 2? I was roundly beaten by a master wall maker. Well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

finn @ #25040: good (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25097: Really good. Got 10/10 but was made to work for it! Some nice red herrings. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fring @ #25081: No need to apologize. I did think it was plausible in that group, I'd just never heard it said and couldn't find it on google afterwards, that's all. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25081: Sorry if it was frustrating. As it was listed as a used phrase I assumed that people had heard of it. I sometimes add a less known answer to a group that contain more obvious clues- it's intended to keep it interesting- but not make it impossible. It's hard to know what other people will know, but I figured that the sweets would be a giveaway- lead to a process of elimination. I chose it as it provided a red herring for the fungi group (parasol fungus)- not to be deliberately obscure- again, apologies if you didn't enjoy this grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fring @ #25081: That wasn't me nitpicking about terminology. It not being idiomatic actually made finding the group in the first place quite difficult. I for one tried Chocolate Teapot, Inflatable Dartboard and the more commonly used Glass Hammer with literally every other option on the board before giving up on that group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25095: Nice , intelligent grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25081: It was on a list that I found. Probably not that common, but "idiomatic" was not required to get a point; I just added it as an extra explanation/ for clarity. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25097: apologies if the accepted answers seem limited on this one- it would not submit so I deleted some text. Take all the points you want :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25091: Very neat, thank you. Liked the Mumbles line... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fring @ #25081: Never heard glass parasol used in that context. Googled it and couldn't find any results using it in that context. So even though a parasol made of glass may not serve its purpose, I'm not sure it's "idiomatic" as a simile for useless. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25088: Nice theme, once I’d got the idea, it fell into place! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25086: Had me stumped.......I was looking for "open" and "dog" connections (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25091: Excellent. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25094: Suspected Baseball and Camera work but I am not well versed enough in either to have solved the groups.....and as for the Post-Punk group, as an ageing Jazz Funk and Soul boy I had no chance!! Great grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25092: Apologies that this is all one note (pun intended) it's just something a bit different from me, more of a themed quiz. Enjoy anyway! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Steaky27 @ #10172: Janus... the Red Square in Moscow... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #25082: Very good, enjoyed the ‘11’ group + elf! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25088: I am nothing if not methodical! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bloss @ #25086: This was good, though I didn't work it out! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jonny @ #25088: Very simple, very satisfying. Perfect combo! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25088: I do love a theme (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #24283: why specifically "keeping up with the beckhams".... "beckham" should be sufficient since that's their actual surname. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25086: tricky one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #25084: Another 👏 for the Land Rover group! Enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #25077: Good grid, though could add unusual to accepted answers for the quirky group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #25084: Thanks, this was a fun grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #25082: Good one..loved monkey tennis!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25066: ECG the answers spell it Liszt. All of the composer names on the grid are spelled differently, as they are intended to be homophones. Hope that helps! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25083: Yes sorry, I've tried re-submitting but no joy- the answers are- SPOILER ALERT!!! Positively charged Synonyms/ types heavy artillery Spirals Navigational aids Sorry it wouldn't let you get the points but if you came anywhere near those answers take the points as I'm sure the accepted terms would have worked for you (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25086: Beautiful! Got some of those for the wrong reasons though! Not sure how I managed that (4 years, 8 months ago)

ECG @ #25066: A classical composer's surname is mis-spelt. It should be "Liszt" not list. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25078: Oops not quite the right spelling for the red herring either (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25078: Nice grid. Dalgleish is the wrong spelling for the group it has been put in, but the right spelling for the group in which it is a red herring. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25081: very enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25082: Excellent - have I got a second series? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Widger @ #25084: Yes - Land rover group excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #25083: Good grid. It won't let me to enter the thundercloud group, I tried 3 times so can't get a final score. My guess was static electricity? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #25084: Very good indeed. Loved the Land Rover group (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25084: top marks, I really liked this, almost cryptic in places. (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #25083: Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #25081: Excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25082: really liked this one, probably because I got the references! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25080: Hey Ossie- I resubmitted this one as I was having trouble getting the answers to reveal- was it working for you? Enjoy your cake! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25054: Thanks BinDipper. To be fair to the site setter- uppers, The fake grid under my name/ fake comments as me were taken down last time, they have been good in that way. Always appreciate you taking the time to comment on my grids though and I'm not going to disagree with your POV :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #25081: Really good. Best one I've done in ages. And a 10/10. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25079: excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25078: LOVE spaced. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25077: My kind of grid. :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18091: I liked this one at the time. Just tried it and I couldn't complete the chuffer. It's hard! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25054: It's ridiculous that I can do this for example. Signed - BinDipper (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #25054: I love this site but I wouldn't contribute to its upkeep financially because there are way too many flaws - the ability to nick someone's name being one of them. The lack of any visible moderation is another. I'm afraid if you want cash, sort the site out FIRST. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25080: 52 seconds....the quickest I have ever solved one of your grids Lorna.....I may treat myself to a cake in celebration!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25054: Very much appreciated guys! Trust me, I've had worse. No way I'm leaving. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25066: Top work (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25054: Lorna....Adam has the right idea...just try and ignore it...easier said than done I know but it's the only solution I'm afraid....well other than leaving which we would hate you to do as your grids are among the best on here. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #25054: Just ignore it if you can Lorna, small minded people having a go at a big brain! Love your grids, don't be put off. I agree with OSSIEP9 this isn't Facebook and it is bollocks (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #25054: Really good and really difficult. I only managed to get one group but found all the connections - couldn't quite work out the clues on enough to find another group. Was kicking myself when I saw some of the explanations! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jonny @ #25066: Very enjoyable. Best grid contender? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25054: Not nice to wake up to! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25054: why are you answering for me Ozzy?! what is going on with posting names on here. this keeps happening to me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ozzy @ #25054: Doh! its so hard to think of every answer people may type. Give yourself the points anyway- can't change grids once they're up. If you really care about points one tip is to go for the most "tecnical" sounding answer as its more likely to hit. you'd have got points for laundry, detergent, brand etc. Apologies, i try to keep accepted terms as broad as possible but it's easy to miss one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pseudonym @ #25052: This was simple yet brilliant! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #18124: Just found this- loved it. Straightforward looking enough but so well constructed it kept me hopping for the full time chasing the (right) answers around. I wouldn't call any of this niche, although nighteyes is usually bang on the money with advice and feedback (4 years, 8 months ago)

UrsaMedium @ #25031: ARGH! So obvious when revealed, but couldn't piece it all together. Shameful 2/10 from me... Bravo! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #18150: Looking back through for Truecockney grids- this is a brilliant one - you still submitting? (re. comments: DM clearly misunderstanding concept of cryptic?) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #18091: Found an old one of yours- classic, really good one. You really know how to slam a heckler, too! I gotta get me some of that! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #8700: Favourite so far (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #12924: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #24062: Good quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip @ #25032: Only if you are a masochist (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #3188: Tricky but good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #186: Great! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #10577: Love it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #25034: Liked the theme! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25046: 7 seconds left- probably cos I don't have a telly! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eve @ #25043: Liked the links! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25045: good crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25043: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25042: Nicely done Ossie (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ridder @ #25044: Rqueen, come on chris, you've never heard of it? Pphhhh.... (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25044: R Queen ?? (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #25036: Fooled me with the dummy hobbits group. Well played (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr C @ #25044: Good effort. Can I suggest 2 changes? 1) you've missed the 'L' out of 'Riddler' 2) You have accidentally put a second "Queen" answer in the group you can add an 'R' to the front. Still, I enjoyed it though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #25039: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #25019: 👌🏼 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Debra @ #25033: I didn't know it was possible to cross a goat with a sheep. Not sure I wanted to know. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25037: Very good.......and as I have never heard of House of Games I was scuppered by "Answer Smash"...I was looking for anagrams and cryptic clues instead! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jim @ #25026: i agree with snakeo (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25037: The perfect quizzy quiz for quiz-lovers! Loved it, thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25039: Now that's how to do humour without resorting to sexism or racism. Well done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

MNSasha @ #24987: Sorry about the spelling error. And Bozo, I assume you are talking about the "now" group. Given the solution, unfortunately any guess containing that letter will likely end up being counted correct. I didn't see a way around it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25039: Bit harsh on a lot of MPs but it didn't detract from the Grid. As for feedback/advice I would simply say don't be afraid of making mistakes, even if some of the more anal contributors to this site criticise you for it.......we all made mistakes at the start and some of us (ahem) still do!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jd @ #21705: Enjoyed it but still can’t see link for the buddy row and has me stumped (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #1942: I was convinced Michael was one of the groups! Nice one =] (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25039: Witty! Chaplin connection was hard but fair. Took me 24 seconds, so yes quite easy, maybe some more crossovers as you say, good spread of subjects. Great first attempt! (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #25039: Still fairly new to the making. Feedback appreciated. Cheers =] (Possibly too simple? Only one major decoy) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25035: I like what you did there. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

George @ #25015: I put 'storm' for the last line :() (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25015: nice, enjoyed this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25018: a) because it would obscure it too much. b) needed terms that were similar in appearance to the anagrams group (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25034: Good one- few secs left. Nicely themed, very enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25032: Excellent grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25031: :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25033: Apologies for typo (sp. e not a) on one reveal- it will not affect game play or accepted answers- just the explanation! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #25031: You done me up like a kipper there Monk....I couldn't even come up with a single possible group let alone the correct one!! Top work (4 years, 8 months ago)

Immortal Otter @ #24981: Lovely work, very difficult but in an enjoyable way (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #25026: Very good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG20 @ #13254: This was such an amazing quiz, I was enlightened!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ozzy @ #25018: Ha! I'm sat looking at it and I didn't spot it. Sneaky (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ozzy @ #25004: Grrrrrr I'm really angry because I've never heard of something and it's in a puzzgrid! You're literally at a computer. Ever heard of google? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anne Onymous @ #8000: I loved the welsh trick! Completely fooled me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25022: Quite clever camouflaging there. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #2732: Love this (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #2749: Really liked this grid although I didn't get the blue ones! Well done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #25004: 4/10, I congratulate you and me. ;-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

cb @ #24999: 6/10, I congratulate myself. ;-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yuri @ #12138: Had no idea about 'Oxford Blue' - thanks for the education! Also went for "Navy, Faithful, Boy, and Bailey" being 'songs with the word "Come" in the title' - I feel as though that should have still been given points! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yuri @ #98: "Solfa" should be added to the answer key for 'Me, So, Ray/Re, La'. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #25021: 10/10. Liked that (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25020: What a great idea- easy if you know it but good crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #25019: I like the idea but i can hardly see the images (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25019: :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #25013: Good one. Anagrams made it very difficult (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25017: the D'Artagnan group, in particular, is what makes an excellent puzzgrid. That's such an original idea, well executed, without obscurity. Hat's off to this one. Brilliant work (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24980: Please keep posting. (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24982: Easier but still fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24866: dit was n baie lekker speiletjie (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24866: Really loved this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24885: The S of TeamSaty really loves colour theory - less keen on hypothetical hairy fairy stuff like quantum (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24885: nice do more bro. (4 years, 8 months ago)

ButtonsCat @ #238: Liked it a lot! It was daunting at first but was able to sort it out in decent time. (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24986: Got it but wouldn't like to say how many goes it took. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25014: Agreed Frog it was tricky to spot but there are very few homographs to choose from that could make effective clues- having additional similar meanings or commonalities was something I couldn't find, I'm afraid. Why don't you have a go? It's a lot of fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24980: Great to have such kind feedback especially after so many debates over being unorthodox and weird; people posting offensive grids as me; daring to attempt homophones... Sensitive? Moi? ;) As long as people are enjoying the variety, I'll let those less keen just pass on by to the next grid, no harm done :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Frog @ #25014: So the only connections are the first letters. I don't mind the idea behind it but it needed better connections than that. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #25013: What a sneaky group (with le chase) didn't spot it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bozo @ #24987: I didn't think I'd ever say this but the connection AI for the second one wasn't restrictive enough. I put "Microsoft" as a complete shot in the dark and it said I was correct! (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #25014: That was a headscratcher (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25014: Very clever and again I “nearly” got them all. Honest. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #24980: Really enjoyed this and I like house of games. Let’s be friends! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24986: Loved this one - just took too long to complete it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24986: not bad kid (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25013: Nice! Crossovers, wordplay and general knowledge. I got 10/10 but had to work for it :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25015: I learned a new word today! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Saty @ #24989: TREEEEEEEE (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25011: Quite easy once I’d spotted the first group. Satisfying to complete, thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: As in you get 3 clues but not the group or you get 3 groups? I do listen to this feedback as I want my grids to be challenging but satisfying. My aim is to give one "hook" per group to get you started, and a spread of subjects so that if you find one group harder you get the first 3 and have time after to spot the link. Thanks for commenting, I'm still developing styles and gauging difficulty, so constructive feedback really helps! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25006: Good groups, I knew them once they were formed for me. I didn’t have enough time to sort all the crossovers though. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25004: Cruel! So often I get 3 of these clues but the style means you can’t guess the last one. Satisfying when I do get them though, thanks Lorna :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #25004: I do enjoy these Lorna not that I always solve 'em. Thanks for posting (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24947: Been in anything we'd know? My brother works on off as film/tv extra, good fun. Went with him once, made a channel 5 documentary about- you guessed it- Nazis!!! At least it wasn't Nazi sharks (or on post- watershed). (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #25008: Enjoyed that. Good crossovers and nice balance between wordplay and general knowledge. Not too difficult :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: Not smug at all jolly- you enjoy the victory! Hopefully starting to see what to look for in my grids! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #24993: Telenovella screwed me, but a good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: rag week in British English (ræɡ wiːk) education. (in British universities) a period, usually a week, in which various events are organized to raise money for charity, including a procession of decorated floats and tableaux walk Spanish: To force someone to leave, usu. from a public place, by lifting him by his coat or shirt collar to a walking position and propelling him toward the door (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25007: Oh- people are going to HATE you for this- I personally think you're an evil genius. I got nowhere near (twice) but had an inkling about answers in questions from Big Country and San Marino- how clever to make THE WHOLE GRID this way. Keep on being different, and weird, and enriching. Kudos (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25006: I really wanted it to be fog chicken (4 years, 8 months ago)

wut @ #25004: What the heck are Rag Week and Spanish Walk? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: And thank you for the compliment, I do love that programme! You'd be good at one of these, inventive brain (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rossco @ #25004: Took me a while, thought it was impossible at first but got there in the end, great quiz! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25004: Andy P @ #24980: You might enjoy my unofficial 'House of Games' question group on Facebook if you enjoy puzzles like this. It's very similar to the 'Answer Smash' round from the TV show. https://www.facebook.com/groups/305752400278560 (5 hours, 53 minutes ago) This was posted by AndyP on one of mine- you might be interested? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kondja Mia @ #24983: Thanks, i always make that mistake. But don't worry, i inadvertently accounted for my own misspelling, so the quiz does accept "pigeon" :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rossco @ #24992: Great red herrings, great grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

JaminVee @ #24993: A bit easy except some of the descriptions are a bit narrow. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rossco @ #24994: Good grid, not too difficult (4 years, 8 months ago)

Niqldoo @ #24994: Good choices (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #25004: You should be a House of Games question writer, honestly. Seems you'd be good at writing Answer Smash. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Olly @ #24873: I did that too! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hint @ #24985: Enjoyed that! The "posteriors" one I got in last few seconds for last moment resolution. Thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ads @ #24931: Woah- lots of comments for one grid, it seems to have sparked a debate! I am scottish and I gave it ten out of ten. No problem with the words at all, it was the first group I got (4 years, 8 months ago)

ButtonsCat @ #48: Best one yet! Palindromes and anagrams! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #25002: Nice! Enjoyed this - good balance (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #25004: Smug to have gotten full points but it took me a while to get going. Nice work! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24991: A wonderful, sneaky, enjoyable wall (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #25001: Absolute genius. Didn't spot the (beautiful) symmetry- may have stood a chance if I'd known the text speak! Novel, well constructed, and much smarter than it first looked. Full marks, very much deserved (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24999: really lovely wordplay (4 years, 8 months ago)

JaminVee @ #24999: Very clever... too clever for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24996: Cheers Jolly. I think it's the closest I've ever managed to one for the TV. So 3 stars by the time it hits the bottom of the page then. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MrsB @ #25001: wow so modern haha (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Big @ #24982: Less challenging but really good fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24992: I love rum, monsters and Simon Pegg so this was an absolute treat, Gus. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24994: Yep. Another fine puzzle. Thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #24989: Tough, but very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24996: Really enjoyed this. Lovely grid, Dipper (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #24991: Excellent stuff, clever gridding. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24996: Thanks Sid. For that kind of link I usually just put 'synonym' or 'mean' and hope that covers it. Sometimes you can have 20+ synonyms and it's hard to hit every one. So I don't bother trying. :-)) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24980: Wow- thanks Coochies, glad you like this style, I've done a few like this or similar, I'd be delighted if you checked them out and I hope you enjoy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24996: :-)) Witty. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #24996: Good grid, my only "complaint, or gripe etc." is that complain should have been a option as an answer. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24998: Good one MrsS (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24996: Oh well, they can pay for their eye surgery ;0 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #24998: Very good gridding, well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24998: Some great ideas in here (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #24993: Easy, but fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Coochies @ #24980: Possibly the best grid on this site. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24996: Probably not as bad as lawn darts in the immediate. Years later when you realise you've gifted someone £1300 the pain lives on. (4 years, 8 months ago)

JoeM @ #24993: It doesn’t accept “mass” units rather than weight units. The former is technically more correct than the latter. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LK @ #24981: Love all the Mario red herrings, I admit I couldn't name the card games category because I'd never heard of Whist or Spit. Nonetheless very enjoyable! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rabbite @ #24983: Good grid, but most people spell it “pigeon“ rather than “pidgeon”. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24982: I prefer the more traditional types of wall so this one was right up my street. Loved the Yellow, Cabin and Millennium groups - wonder if you noticed the opportunity to use Millennium as a red herring for a group based on falcons? I think it would work better with only one word group and then you could have had Black in there as a falcon, a fever and a river. 5 stars from me though. :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #24998: Ill did me in. Close. Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rabbite @ #24990: Got the pop band group totally by accident using another connection. They all make different words when the first letter is replaced by “p”; pimply, pink, pace, pay. LOL. Wonder if Victoria would have given me the point... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24996: As bad as lawn darts? Couple of unexpected apples there, nice! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Rabbite @ #24989: Please add “tree” as an acceptable answer to the wood group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24986: Andy P- you've used the operative word there, for me. I love the show, I love some of the great grids on here, but the thought of only ever producing one type over and over just turns my brain to thin unsweetened porridge. Sometimes I go fully traditional but I like to vary it up a bit. I'm not everyone's favourite beverage but neither is tap water. I will def check out your site, sounds good :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24980: thanks Andy P I love house of games, that sounds like fun! thanks very much, Nighteyes! I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea but I love having ideas and they're there for those who enjoy them :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24994: Nicely interwoven (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24993: Ditto (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24980: Superb. I really like this style of wall, and you do them very well. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24992: Chased World's End about for ages- LOVELY crossovers, inspired! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24991: Liked the "crack" group (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24991: Angel "hair" did for me.......nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24993: Telenovela is completely new word/concept to me so I was on a hiding to nothing there....good work ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24993: Telenovela is completely new word/concept to me so I was on a hiding to nothing there....good work ! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #24986: I nice concept. I was over thinking it so didn't manage to solve it at all but I enjoyed it a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #24980: You might enjoy my unofficial 'House of Games' question group on Facebook if you enjoy puzzles like this. It's very similar to the 'Answer Smash' round from the TV show. https://www.facebook.com/groups/305752400278560 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #24986: This was a bit weird. A commendable attempt to do something a bit different from normal but I just prefer a boring normal grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

emm @ #24987: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #24980: Clever - nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #24927: Thought of Russell's paradox and the paradox of the heap and got lost (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #24986: Clever but pushes you close to the time limit (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #24987: Agree with lorna - and hard as I don't know French! (4 years, 8 months ago)

joe @ #24989: Better than your previous ones! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #1124: Court card is king queen or jack (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24988: great- I got stuck on Alice + Palm. More celeb based holes in my knowledge! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24944: I'm at the bottom there! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24987: That mistake may cost you quality stars- don't be put off because this was a great effort, nice crossovers in there. This will either be very easy or very hard, depending on understanding of French :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24980: Very good. Liked that a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

spellcheck @ #24987: it's tempera paint, not tempura (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24986: Cunn"""enuity (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24980: Very nice. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24944: Is this you, Lorna? Nice gag, Wendy. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24946: Exactly - thanks Lorna. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24947: As you can see, sadly not Lorna. All that effort to please one person - just can't please some people. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24947: Crikey. Bitter much? - 'Former' - so, it's no longer my day job - sorry if it's confusing. I actually think some of this is quite clever. Least some of us make the effort. Still waiting for your masterpiece - can't wait. Mind you with all the criticising of others your time is probably not your own, eh? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fairy Godmother @ #24981: What a jerk that person was, this was lovely, thank you! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24972: Would never have identified the Cosmopolis group as i'd never heard of it, but it was a good fun wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

A Concerned Citizen @ #24981: lmao bro what is this gay shit (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #24980: Excellent. 21 seconds to spare (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #24982: Very good. Top Marks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24971: I didn't get the point for the argyle group cos i typed "designs" instead of "patterns" which i felt hard done by :) Nice one though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24982: Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24969: couldn't resist! (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24968: Nice! I enjoyed the red herrings from the doctors group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24969: Loved this so much! The "Messiah" one made me giggle :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #24962: Good one..I didn't get the pan connection (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24974: The Palin group got me! Very sharp grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24978: Resolved the wall, and identified all three except for the group with "Pagan". Especially annoying as it had occurred to me what was going on yet i missed it with all the other three in that group. Nice fun wall, well done. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24977: ooooooo, didn't spot that! Take as many goes as you like, I won't tell anybody! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24964: Easier than it looked and well constructed (4 years, 8 months ago)

Erica @ #4772: I think that multiple solutions does invalidate the grid, but “golf shirt” would be a bit of a stretch. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24977: I got lost with foot locker / locker room and ran out of time :( Really clever grid! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #24966: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #423: @Calum - dry wall is ok, but I agree the others are a bit weak. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24964: Inventive and good (apparent) crossovers. Made very tricky by the specificity of the Toledo group but I enjoyed it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24925: Most enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24957: Nice grid, enjoyed that. Range of subjects and approaches. One bit of constructive feedback - it’s good to have “synonyms” as an allowable word if that’s what the group is :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #24973: Didn't get the sandwich one..but good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Electric Ian @ #1563: Going to disagree with Asterios. There was nothing wrong with the Ian clue! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24954: Broad subject matter but I guess with the books group you either know ‘em or you don’t! (4 years, 8 months ago)

RobbC @ #24971: Clever (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #24955: Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

UrsaMedium @ #24977: We need a five minute version for this one. Great concept! (4 years, 8 months ago)

RobbC @ #24951: I used fungi and not mushrooms, so will count that as a awin (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24975: good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24973: Nice grid. Didn't manage to get the finger group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24974: My knowledge of 2 of the groups was not good enough. Otherwise, good grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Snakes @ #24974: Almost cracked it. Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24973: What's the difference between a finger sandwich and a knuckle sandwich?- Having teeth :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #24974: Didn’t quite crack it, but nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24971: good crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wordie @ #24973: Good effort (4 years, 8 months ago)

MinnieQuiz @ #24967: Did a couple of times but got there in the end! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Chevron @ #24935: Liked it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Chevron @ #24936: Liked it (4 years, 8 months ago)

brendan @ #10577: excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

MinnieQuiz @ #24970: Good quiz, those beers were hard to find! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24942: I cracked it. Wahey! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24967: No shame in trying a few times! It's only for fun :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24967: I failed horribly (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24946: mop = pop (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pam @ #24871: Got them all but omitted to add doctor (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24966: This was right up my street, nice word play and topics close enough for apparent crossovers and fun disentangling. Was convinced birds were in there at first. Nicely done (4 years, 8 months ago)

SK @ #12440: Very nifty - thank you! (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24946: Don't understand the mop bit but other than that good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24951: Hooray. First one I’ve managed to complete. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24965: Excellent! Knew there were musicals floating about, but failed to get them in time. Tyson is a boxer, but figured that was who was meant so didn't matter too much. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24965: Tricky but enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Red folio @ #24784: How? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24962: Very challenging (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24965: That one made me wish I knew more- I think it would have been a lot of fun- I have a lot of holes in my knowledge- mostly about celebs! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24962: Failed to get the pan bit. Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24954: great idea and crossovers, good mix of subjects- unfortunately you could put 2 of your musical groups into the symbol group in place of He (Re- Rhenium and Ho- Holmium)- Red herrings need to only work one way or there is no one unique solution. I love this grid as a concept, works really well :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24957: Good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dave F @ #24963: Struggled with the last two rows - I knew that Hungarians was the connection but got the wrong people! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dave F @ #24959: Very good! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Big Mo @ #24960: Very tricky, this one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24953: excellent, especially the colouring line (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24948: Its basically "the" zodiac (Mesopotamian and more famously Greek origins)- I think Greek was used here to distinguish it from the Chinese. So i'd say most people recognise terms eg scales= Libra (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24934: this deserves more stars than it's getting... (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24944: Nice! The Rod(ney) group was my least favourite - but you noted that yourself. The homophones are awesome! And I love the Beatles clue. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24952: I love the "Baobab" group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

rabbit @ #12432: Good grid. Agree with msicism on the American words. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24951: Nice start to a Sunday! I love the Jackal etc. group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24939: *blush* (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8396: Serious error here I'm afraid. The grid has more than one solution. PINK and RED are completely interchangeable. Not good. (REDEYE is an american term for a late/early or overnight journey). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #24950: Tricky one! I liked it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8392: :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

jms @ #24941: (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24948: this was lovely but unfortunately pig and rabbit are interchangeable so no one unique solution- I got down to those 2 groups but very hard to separate on guesswork. Nice subjects. Could have used owl, maybe? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24946: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24947: done with a sense of humour- I hope it's taken that way!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8332: No fun tbh (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24945: no- I am your Vader! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Top notch grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #24948: Very good, enjoyed it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24937: Lucky I got three groups, as would never have got any in the 4th. Nice mix. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24931: Well I enjoyed it.......... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Justin Wright @ #24948: this shit was stupid hard but very smart and fun to complete! I felt my brain muscles working (4 years, 8 months ago)

Justin Wright @ #24948: Really great! Tricky! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24931: Looking forward to doing one of your grids. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24931: Thanks - it's up there - enjoy. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24931: Thanks for being gracious about it, Lorna :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24941: Nice one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24931: barmy and balmy= /bɑːmi/ see dictionary.com I love the Scottish accent, and that the l's and r's are so clearly pronounced. Constructive feedback is appreciated- I've often corrected typos as a result. I don't think my grid was unfair but am genuinely sorry that it has caused so much frustration to you! Like you say- meant to be for fun and unwinding. I don't want anyone being too reluctant to include a topic or style for fear of backlash- do have a go, for fun, but be free to use whatever inspires you. No hard feelings and please enjoy the site as player or submitter as you wish- Giggsy thanks for regular kind words and support (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24921: Well done for admitting it, mate - it's really not that bad! 'No lemon, no melon' is mind-bending ha! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24903: Ironic that Johnny English should be a red herring as the bloke who directed that film lives in my house. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24931: I'm Scottish, I've always heard 'barmy' pronounced with the 'r', otherwise 'barmy army' would be 'bammy ammy'.... maybe it is to some, I just think it is a 'near homophone' at best. Sorry! If I do make a grid, I'm definitely going to avoid homophones like the plague after this! (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24923: I'm standing by this one. Except I wrote thanks instead of please (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24931: Jeez Louise, is no-one allowed to give constructive feedback anymore? I just want to enjoy doing puzzles to unwind, but point out when I think one isn't particularly fair (because I really can't see/hear where 'r' comes into 'balmy') as the site invites us to do. No-one is saying Lorna hasn't done good grids which have taken a lot of effort, just that 'homophones' as a link often end up seeming lazy because the connection isn't real to everyone. That seems like odd motivation for making a grid, but best of luck with your goal! (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24921: Yeah I've ballsed this up a bit. Sorry (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24936: Very good. Liked it (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24931: Hi Jmack- I might understand your point if you let us know what your accent is- you say it's strong? Where are you from? I grew up near London, moved to Devon, pretty much RP but a bit more common! I do drop the l/r and shorten the syllable myself. (4 years, 8 months ago)

GTF @ #24942: A happy accident (@lorna) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24919: I like these word play/association (football) grids - probably because I can do them... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24942: fun. Convinced myself that hamburger was from Viz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24931: Well, I honestly can't hear what you are hearing - to my ear they sound the same. Especially Barmy - the L in Balmy is silent - to my ear at least, almost impossible to include when you say it. Why not put one of your own up Jmack - let he who hath no sin cast (caste) the first stone n'all that - paraphrasing. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24928: thanks, Giggsy :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24928: Fun stuff - I too wasn't familiar with the gloves one but guessed it correctly, luckily (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24936: Loved the Exodus group - good one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24931: I've tried all of the homophones in a variety of UK accents (being an ex actor and all that) - and yes, they are all bona fide homophones - all of them. Lazy - bit harsh and not necessary. Lorna has kept me and many others endless entertained recently with her brilliant and fun diverse and whacky grids. As do all the grid presenters. I'm going to try and do one now with the express hope of pissing off as many people so they can have a good old vent. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24931: That is literally what people are trying to tell you - this fault affects game play. If you saw the clue 'cat', would you think 'well that could be cart, because some people stick random 'r's in places, they just can't help themselves'. That is essentially what you are asking people to do in leaping from 'balmy' to 'barmy', then ignore an entire syllable from 'lightening'. They don't sound the same at all, to the majority of people. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24937: Excellent - Always happy to get a (rare) 10. Major/Minor got me for a bit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24941: Ugh- so close! I really enjoyed that one (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24931: Mine is pretty standard. Sorry- it's just a bit hilarious how angry people get about homophones, I was expecting this kind of response when I included them and even made a joke about it on someone else's comments! Just please be careful of terms like "lazy"- I've spent literally hours (off work sick) putting a lot of effort into trying to submit varied, original grids for people like yourself to enjoy. By all means point out flaws if needs be, but kindly. Just ask yourself "does this fault affect game play?" If not, just enjoy them for what they are. I appreciate everyone taking the time to comment :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24914: thanks for explaining (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24914: Ah- clever! That's an ingenious device. Bloody hard, though!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24938: I am really enjoying your grids! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24937: Without giving too much away- think of an empire, think "did they use baths" etc- I can name a couple! Ottoman could be called Turkish, there's also Greek- but I'm inflicting preemptive pedantry upon myself! ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #24914: Very difficult, had no idea of the bands or manga series For nona, the first letter 'n' is replaced by the letter before it in alphabet 'm' , producing the girl's name Mona (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24940: two groups beyond my ken- a very clever grid, fun to spot what I could! You'll probably get people saying a drey isn't a burrow so I may as well do it now- kindly- by saying that it didn't detract at all, it fit the group itself, and it was an awesome grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24937: Oooh, nasty! Kicking myself for not seeing "return key"! Enjoyed this a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vlad @ #24937: What other potential answers does it have? I can't think of any others. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24939: Rapidly becoming a favourite. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jmack @ #24931: NOT real homophones. Like the inclusion of supposed 'homophones' in many puzzles, tenuous and lazy. People can't possibly be expected to consider how a word might sound in every different accent, so standard English should always be assumed, and that's coming from someone with a strong accent myself. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24934: And pregnant, I thought- until you explained the addition of duck to your oreo recipe! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24931: homonyms = spelled same but different meaning (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24931: They're homophones! They do in my accent- wow- homophones are a real crowd divider- I knew that before submitting, and went for it anyway. That's the thing about accents, they are, by definition, different ways of pronunciation. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24936: easy (for me) but fun, well-constructed (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24937: I realise in hindsight that the "bath" group has many potential answers- award yourself extra points if you put anything other than the most obvious, with my apologies! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty @ #12092: Primo. Well done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24931: Or barmy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24917: Fairly easy and lacking crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24919: Enjoyed this, original. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24932: Not too difficult - got everything but the O----- which I never watched (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24934: I was hungry when I made this wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24931: ''hoarse'' and ''lightening'' don't work as homonyms (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24923: In your defence, if you google "pronounce bitte" it sounds EXACTLY like bitter. Keith- which answer did you mean? the please group are all EU languages, not countries- the countries are listed as such with a specific feature. Bit confused what you meant? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24923: Well if you choose to do as you are told you'll just ignore me, but that really is not a homophone. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24918: Missing letters round could also have been construed as things you play (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24907: nice Pistols red herring! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24928: "To treat someone roughly or severely" . Also red herring/ false lead for opposing group is "Handle with kid gloves": T"o handle or treat something with kid gloves is to do so with special consideration or in a tactful manner " Hope that explains my reasoning! Thanks for commenting :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

B @ #23841: You spelled "extinct" wrong. I award you one star and may God have mercy on your soul. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Neil @ #24929: I’m pretty sure they are all The day Today characters too (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24893: ''dragoon'' pigeon, not dragon. ''hat-trick'' not hatrick. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Emily @ #24920: Lovely grI'd. Thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #24923: Why do they have to be European languages and why not just countries? And what homophones? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #24928: Handle without gloves? Is that a set phrase? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24904: Good grid. Not too hard, not too easy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24883: UTTERLY pointless (4 years, 8 months ago)

Emily @ #24923: Hi, thank you for your grids. .thanks, not please. They aren't synonyms. Otherwise excellent I had a list of countries which aren't enclosed and had never realised seychelles should be in there (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24879: fun and solid (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24932: Really nice grid! Good spread of knowledge required and different approaches to the groups (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24928: Inventive! Nice grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24866: took me a minute but i cracked it! fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24920: Interesting groups. Having the same word twice can mean a life is lost if they are in the last two groups. Like the variety of the groupings (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24854: Got it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

No one @ #8094: A penquin isn't a chocolate bar. It's a chocolate biscuit and it's spelled penguin. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24851: fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24828: bit messy (4 years, 8 months ago)

Evan @ #24930: Good luck everybody else! (4 years, 8 months ago)

streets585 @ #24923: (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24925: band choices allowed for some great red- herrings. Not sure if many people younger than me (I'm not saying!) will know Thundercats, but I enjoyed them! The -o's stood out a bit, but it stopped it from being too hard a grid. Nice one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24923: No colouring in is a terrific link! Made me laugh in a "pull back and reveal" kind of way- so THAT'S WHY IT'S ALL IN CAPITALS! Fun, unusual grid. Ignore any criticisms you may get from people who pronounce it "biddrrrr"- homophones are a dangerous area! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Evan @ #24924: Good luck everybody else! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lucca @ #24660: Really good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Squiggle @ #24919: Clever idea! (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24921: Spelling error in "Rotar" - but that group is genius! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24921: Really nice groups and hidden words but your palindromes, weren't. Sure it's just typos, great idea for a grid otherwise! (I just spelled it tyops- easily done!) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Old-timer @ #8363: Tricky but worth the effort and the explanations are first class. Wiz is right - it makes sense 100% (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24922: Awesome! Really enjoyed this. (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24908: Ha! I know nothing about cricket - an accidental red herring! (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #24916: Relatively straightforward, but some nice groups (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #24916: Relatively straightforward, but some nice groups (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #24918: Oops, my bad! There's always a typo that gets away somewhere. (I'm well used to comments about typos on Sporcle!) And I wasn't too sure about the missing letters one, but it was the best way I could come up with weaving them together and having an almost-complete red-herring group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24920: Nice groups, possibly could have had a different synonym for Rotten for the disagreeable things group to avoid having the word appear twice (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24911: Apologies, the speech group should simply have been 'synonyms for talking' and not had the word nonsense in there, think I confused myself with the Lewis Carroll group. It's a shame you can't edit these after submission (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24911: In strict terms of the definition I'd agree, but I found the groups still get-able- so it affected the points more than the game play, I'd say. I liked how mixed up those particular groups were, it made the disentanglement all the more satisfying. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #24911: The group about talking nonsense, in fact none of the words in that group mean that. Splutter isn't even about talking, if someone coughed after drinking they would splutter their tea for example. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #24916: Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24898: Once I’d grasped the cryptic bit, it became easier! Good grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24918: Welcome to submitting! I liked this- lots of crossovers, good mix of subjects. Square on its own was a little ambiguous, without "set, framing or steel", but not enough to be majorly problematic. Missing letters are always tricky, especially when it's 4 different ones within a group, but as a fan of setting and solving harder grids I can't really complain about that! you avoided going for obscurity to hide your answers- they were cleverly interwoven, which was nice. Groups were fairly original. Do spell check before you submit as someone will ALWAYS (kindly) point out your mistakes and typos! this is a great first attempt, I'll look forward to your next grids. Thanks for joining in the game! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24917: Nice Pistols red herring! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24916: That'll teach me to be so suspicious- was convinced that 2 of the groups were false leads! Doh! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24915: eek! spotted the coop group with just 20 secs left- don't know corrie so wouldn't have sorted those 2 out that way! Narrow squeak- all the more satisfying to solve (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24914: confused by the nona group- could you explain? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24909: I noticed the tempest mainly (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24912: I've done that- left out "polo" as a sport and had a completely random, misplaced collection of mints (a bit like the foot-well of my car) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #24918: Good grid, I liked the parts of the ear, but you used the wrong spelling of Rein. Reign is for a something like how long a King was in power, Rein is the strap used to steer a horse. (4 years, 8 months ago)

TheDoc @ #24918: First attempt at making a grid. Feedback welcome! =] (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24912: Liked it a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24911: Good once the 'speech' lists were sorted. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24909: I think my knowledge, or lack of it, has knackered this grid. I put them in 4 groups right away because I couldn’t see any red herrings. Given Dark’s and Lorna’s comments they must be there but I could only see 4 in each group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24912: Thanks Lorna. I’m not so keen. I don’t like it when I’m relying on the difficulty of a link rather than a red herring or two. There’s no herring for the Bideford group - I changed my mind on where to put Pendle and then forgot to cover the change. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24910: Enjoyed that one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24911: None of the words in the nonsense group actually means to talk nonsense as such. Babble means talking quickly, Jabber is similar but implies being difficult to understand - possibly by being foreign, ramble is to talk at length and largely without a point, and splutter means to attempt to talk but just making sounds instead. The nearest to "talking nonsense" is prattle, which is in the other group. Speaking of which, it is my guess that at least a couple of words in the Twitter would not have made it on to Only Connect. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #9863: Marshal isn't a rank. Officer isn't a rank. Wingding is all one word, and is a stupid American colloquialism. It was too easy despite how shit it was. (4 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #24027: jungle, rainforest ffs (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24909: Yep, good set of red herrings made it tough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24908: Another good one, unusually I managed to solve it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24906: 2 times 5 from me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24913: Had submitted before, but seems to have been deleted. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #4582: Pretty simple, but fun. And as others have said, "wind" and "woodwind" are not the same. I played sax in a windband for years, and I assure you there were trumpets behind me. Pretty sure my ears are still ringing! On a related note, wear earplugs! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24912: Ah- top top marks, not only for depth of knowledge on WITW. Excellent construction (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24910: oh, these are good! Very well constructed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24909: terrific grid and I love the name! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24908: You are a wizard- ace- genius- top grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Col @ #24906: I didn’t get any groups, but then solved all of the connections. That probably makes it a perfect wall! Thanks a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24908: Good tough grid. Saw the pepper link straight away but couldn't crack it due to never trying Banana. I also managed to select a dummy group of cricketers, Tim May, Andy Flower, Ian Bell and Rob Key (4 years, 8 months ago)

LinguaCelta @ #24904: I put "nationality" for the "Chechen" etc. group, and it was accepted - seems fine to me :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24906: excellent again (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24905: names very well hidden, got the rock band group- spelling of pigeon threw me as it was the book version! Nice double bluff- I dismissed it. Didn't know the film. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24904: thanks for reminding me of the more apt word, Steve. I try to be as generous as possible with accepted terms. You should have been given a point for including "Euro" even without "demonym", which was the specific answer (4 years, 8 months ago)

Col @ #24896: Very good. Classical style. Enjoyed it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #24904: Nobody has heard of the word ‘demonym’ again! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #24903: Nice one, enjoyed that. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8363: :( (4 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #24903: Kept seeing Ten for Ten as well. Brain AutoCorrect I think. Tihs is a smaple snetecne to tset yuor brian's abiltiy to corrcet mitskaes! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24904: Good use of 30 seconds. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24903: The '5'on my keyboard is wearing out. Kept seeing Ten for Ten - duh (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24902: Another 5 star effort. Ideal for a lazy, brain not quite awake, saturday morning. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24900: Really good grid. Serial Killers was also appropriate btw. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24898: Really tough but gettable (some someone else!!). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24896: Another nice and straightforward one with good crossovers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24895: Good grid. Nice clues, rather simple bjt fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Evan @ #24901: Good luck everybody else! (4 years, 8 months ago)

ahay @ #24495: Fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24897: Glad you commented, it got me to play- when I opened it I thought someone had done to you what they did to me recently- using your name- real idiots! This was indeed an escape from that gutter, so thanks! THIS is how to make rude funny- you're wiping the floor with those particular onanists :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

Haydock @ #23913: Really good one. Most red herrings I've come across yet (4 years, 8 months ago)

ahay @ #24555: Lots of fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nobby @ #24897: Good one !! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24894: yeah- it was meant to say county: Los Angeles , city, seat of Los Angeles county but I had to re submit this one and cocked it up- you'll get points either way (4 years, 8 months ago)

beepa @ #24899: noice (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24897: Ha ha. Fooled me. I was firmly in the gutter. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24897: Before anyone decides to criticize my lowbrow language, the entire idea of the quiz is to remove your mind from out the gutter. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24894: Nice one again, although Los Angeles is a city not a state. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #24871: Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #24892: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #24893: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Yo Momma @ #24831: Yay. I actually got one and figured out some of the others. oh, duh, scrabble points! I just don't think that way. guessed on cars and trucks based on f 150. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bemused obs @ #24894: My first completion, thank you! (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24894: Nice work, like the mix of topics and thank god I didn’t need to know what tenebrosity meant in the end 😬 (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24874: Thankfully I’ve recently played Prime Minsters on Sporcle and so know lots of the Lords and Dukes of wherever. Lovely mix and plenty misdirection, which is more appreciated when completed (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24879: This is great. Tricksy and enjoyable. Thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24890: Took a while to get going but subsequently enjoyed ad solved. Lovely grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23799: Krista, simmer down now. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24111: christobal, get good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24609: That was a good one. Slide into my DMs, jellylegs 😘 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Martyn @ #24871: Brilliant! (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24891: So many good names for bands in there. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24894: An eas(ier) one from you for a change :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #24890: Tough one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #24893: Nice crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24873: looking for the usual groups- cocktails, flowers, but no! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #24889: Kicked myself at the Peter Perfect group! (4 years, 8 months ago)

CT @ #24888: Very good but tough. The Stan Kenton group was sneaky! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Maggity @ #24871: Excellent! Missed the dogs - dammit! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24893: good wordplay (4 years, 8 months ago)

@euphemeister @ #24871: Got me (4 years, 8 months ago)

bt @ #24885: The sweets group didn't accept "candy" - might be worth considering how people from other countries describe things when giving possible answers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24891: 5 & 5 from me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24891: Nice grid, got all 4 groups but not the connections of latin/greek (clver gorup) Thought the dire straits group was things that rock stars have thrown out of hotel windows, which it most likely is! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24890: Haha - managed to get a group thinking the answer was King Edward!! Very good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24855: Thanks Darksky - I agree the duo group was a bit of a stretch. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24864: I have reason to visit care homes in my job. I'm starting to view them in terms of "Would I want to die here?" (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24890: The master! Utter genius. Guessed that the numbers were a time- was thinking "what's 8 o'clock? Doh! Loved it muchly (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24888: Phew! I had ALL the wrong name changes! Thrown, and not a short distance. Boris or Katie Price- what a choice! The land of democracy (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24864: OOOOOOOOOOh yes! Ancient! Got a birthday coming up too. Don't they get faster? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24889: Really well executed- great crossovers without being overly complicated (unlike some of mine!) and simple enough subject matter- the cleverness is in the construction. Big like :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24887: Good false group with WD- cold medicines worked loosely, but the others were good :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24886: really, really, very clever! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24884: Vague memories of Bejam. Nice to see someone else who pedant- proofs their answers! I once had a gay housemate who explained *that* term to me- wish he hadn't! :0 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24881: Fiendish crossovers, was stuck on "draw an exquisite corpse". Which this site is, in a way! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24879: Acid was clever and sneaky- I thought, I assume as intended, that the link was synonyms, and was trying to work out how acid fit- my brain went to "sharp". Doh! Top score (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24878: Wow- I didn't know that about Richard Ayoade. I would remove so many people from TV and replace them with him. Comedy Midas! Piers Morgan would go... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24877: Top notch. Very clever anagrams. Birthday has been done before but its a basic enough concept so likely just coincidence? Or did you mean another group Darksky? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24876: AAARGH! The one group I couldn't get was the Lorna's! Never heard of the jungle girl before, or morello :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #24885: Decent grid but not enough variation for answers even though I got them all right (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24885: Decent grid. Guessed well..... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #24884: Living in the UK but being born in the 90s, I've never heard of those supermarkets before! I've heard of Lipton, but only in terms of the ice tea! The one's which were sold/rebranded, I've heard of what they became. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24884: Nice mix (4 years, 8 months ago)

Abbi73 @ #24871: Good grid. Spotted the doctors quite quickly (too much time spent watching US tv shows!). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Angry Tom @ #24850: Top board! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24882: Nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24853: Different ideas - tricky but interesting (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24881: Enjoyed that, good clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DISgruntledGOAT @ #24288: 'Countries' and 'Walls' should be accepatable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Angry Tom @ #24865: Excellent gridding - great one to end a Friday. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cheryl @ #6140: Queen on the last clue would be good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Max Power @ #583: Quickest one I've done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Blizz Blazz @ #24885: Some of the answers don't catch enough variation, but good groupings. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24879: Acid did for me too (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24866: Well thought-through. Once you've spotted the pattern it's really good fun. Nice :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24864: Guessed the theme, tried it, but still couldn't make it fit! Very clever. I think I'll do some colouring in for a bit, to recover. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24878: Know nothing about any of the 4 groups, so struggled big time. Good clues tho. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Marcus @ #6140: Disappointed that typing ‘cat’ as the relationship isn’t recognised (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24879: Nicely done. I finished the grid but if I'd guessed from now until Boris Johnson finds his truth gene I wouldn't have got the 'Acid' link (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24862: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24877: At least one group of plagiarism!!! Good though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24861: Very clever! Nice grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #24881: Blue group I like. We need more like that. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #4165: I got the medals and the Billys pretty quick. I was clicking on some ages, then realised there were a lot of them. Then saw the other group right away! Excellent wall! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #24879: Solid one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24860: The Nose Lights Up group was good fun but the gastric irritation group was very tough. I enjoyed the answers being revealed but I would never have worked them out myself. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Max Power @ #24866: 10 points! Woohoo (4 years, 8 months ago)

barf @ #24883: extremely weird and made by a weirdo too! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24857: Oh nice...very nice. Not too difficult and really good fun x/x (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #8403: I got distracted by a whole extra category of ___stick. Pogo, fanta... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew @ #16245: the connections are good for beginners, but the connection texts are bogus (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24873: Easier than it looked. Good one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Toxylad @ #24871: Found them. Good quiz and makes sense once you see the answers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Crolla @ #24876: No groups, three connections (4 years, 8 months ago)

Toxylad @ #24871: Where are the answers? I only got 2. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Janus @ #3188: Sussed out all four group themes on the wall (though I wasn’t sure if they were supposed to be Billys or Nicks), but somehow managed to miss the correct combinations for all of them. Was sidetracked by ‘Joseph’, which is an Old Testamental name, but NOT Stalin’s name, so that was a bit annoying. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24878: Beat me hands down with that one.....good work (4 years, 8 months ago)

Janus @ #10172: Got the red connection right, but I kept including ‘lights’ instead of ‘square’ – I mean, red lights are definitely a thing (especially in Amsterdam), but wtf is a red square supposed to be, other than just a square that’s red? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24876: Too good for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Janus @ #1396: Somehow managed to get the mount/bout/shamed/gain group right (first try) on the wall, despite never figuring the actual connection out. I though the connection was that they were all monosyllabics with falling diphthongs as their nucleus. Then I noticed ‘knight’ was there too and that idea fell to the floor… (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24874: Good red herrings. Spent ages convinving myself that there was no 'y' for scrumpy and didn't spot the more obvious one till almost too late. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bidge @ #24871: Fun, luckily got the dogs first! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24872: Whenever I see SJ, I always think of Dr W, so I think the red herrings were luckily out of the way quickly. Rest fell into place. Good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24871: Excellent, challenging grid. Kita killed all my ideas. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ty @ #24857: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fankelwarst @ #24871: Keeper worked with line as well (4 years, 8 months ago)

Kingus @ #24871: Tough, but very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24870: Very enjoyable, thanks. Made easier for me because I’m a Durham-supporting Geordie! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr k p Grimes @ #24871: I need a doctor now (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24870: Ditto earlier comments, but got there in the end. Enjoyed. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24869: Very good, though more variety required in solution, as s and woodwork both denied. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #24857: Very nice, I got there in the end after a few wrong paths (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24872: nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24871: Tough but fair! (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24864: Pen and paper? I am unfamiliar with such items. Are you very very old? :-D (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24870: I spent ages chasing Victorias! Threw me with the new Cluedo character- I thought it was a false group. Didn't know the others. Nicely done, I like your grids (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24864: I certainly put some nearly rights in there but not many that would actually work. Pen and paper time???? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24869: Thanks Scatty - enjoyed the grid. 4 stars from me. One off for breaking the eleventh commandment - 'Thou shalt use initial capital letters' :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24864: Got the overall link right away but couldn't pin the groups down. I think one had 7(?) potential members. Surprisingly hard to substitute parts of words in your head! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bill @ #24857: Nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

steve t @ #24847: Very enjoyable - many thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

steve t @ #24848: enjoyed the grid. Thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24869: oooooooooooooooooooo, there are some good ones appearing! Loved this, excellent layering, so many false group, red herring, crossover elements, lovely spread of subjects and very original. Highest praise. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24867: excellent- good red herrings, camouflaging, range and descriptions. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24866: enneyeessee! Simple but effective, great and original idea. 5 for quality (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24867: Another good one, though never heard of YA before. (4 years, 8 months ago)

birdbrain @ #24860: very fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24819: well easy! :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24865: Excellent! Was looking for "one eye" (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24816: easy one for me I live in london :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24813: didn't get this whats carrefour/ fourfold? (4 years, 8 months ago)

jay emm @ #566: love it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24811: This is a really good one the answers don't match properly I liked it though (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24806: Really liked some of these but some I didn't understand but top grid anyway!! :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24865: Got my green heroes mixed up. Good gridding. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24800: Great grid but very hard! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #24851: Clever but not that difficult. It was fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

BogB @ #24796: Basic, groups stand out especially missing s off end. PMs ok, a red herring. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #24865: Nice one, too bad I don't know my state nicknames. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24862: Jury remains out, despite it being an original idea. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #8361: Cattle cake heard of outside Britain? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24862: Amazing first effort. Clearly an intelligent brain and one I'll be looking out for! Original too (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24860: Bugger.....because I solved the games one first I was convinced they were all "game" related....so that was me scuppered! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24864: Difficult, even though the theme was clear. Well played. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24844: 24836 is the right one please ignore all other versions between that and this one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24861: A classic case of knowing what I was looking for in terms of missing letters and hidden words etc but still not being able to see it...CURSES!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24836: This one works now- original version ignore re submissions! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24863: Don't think the homophones work in general, but still a decent grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24862: Nope, not even close....I got the Cafe group (for entirely the wrong reason I may add) but after that I was done......but then again the only musical instrument I play is my whistle so I was on a hiding to nothing.........great work Nz! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24862: Thanks Lorna. My first grid so I'm glad that you enjoyed it (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24844: Apologies- this would have been a lot easier with the correct original symbols (which wouldn't submit)- this was a rewrite/ attempt to reload, didn't think it had gone up. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24863: I fell for the BP red herrings! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24861: Aaaaargh (or R). Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24860: Apart from the games, wouldn't get the rest in a million years, even if I did the grid again tomorrow. Clearly had a dodgy upbringing and missed out on rhymes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24862: Wow- totally and utterly stumped! I never would have got that, even though it all makes perfect sense. Extremely fiendish. Was even looking at the scale for one group, thought it was the double letters. Excellent level of work and detail (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24861: wow- this one really got me! was playing around with so many letters, words- missed it! Very well done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24856: Got the categories but too much music for me to get the clues in the right place. Nice one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24855: Liked a lot. Wise group was indeed tricky, too tricky for me as it happens. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24854: Nice idea, slightly easier than ur normal ones. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24853: Not sure on the expanding words themes, as could really be anything. Rest was good however. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24852: TOP grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

steve t @ #24852: Spent over 2 mins trying to find a singer link! - Excellent - only scored 3. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24851: Very clever, with good clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24850: Convinced myself that rat was an answer for a group. Another good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24848: Very enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

steve t @ #24854: Refreshingly different - thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24847: Excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #24855: a bit too cryptic and/or left of centre (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24846: Far too good for me (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24845: Hugely enjoyable grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24844: REALLY hard, but very clever. Got many clues, but struggled with groups. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #24861: Good one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #24835: you cant have anagrams but without all the letters..and ham roll is a bit aloof....and who is Damien Hirst??? (4 years, 8 months ago)

DFlynn @ #24831: No, it's certainly 3. It's 4 in Words With Friends, though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24789: Peter Dinklage ''has'' dwarfism. People with dwarfism don't like being called dwarves. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24783: That bones category is poor. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24780: ''world renowned'' Ben Goold? hmm.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24777: easy but fun, a bit different (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24852: Unpleasant fellow:-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24854: Different but fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24747: very easy but fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24852: liked it - good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24742: John Essex?? and again your answer parameters are ridiculously narrow (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24737: Your answer parameters are VERY narrow (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24855: Thanks Lorna - I worried that the yyyyyyy group was a bit of a stretch. (Inspired by your iiiiii and ChEEEEE group) (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24722: ?? @ that songs round (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24845: Immediately thought 'oh no, chess pieces again, how boring' but was I wrong! Loved the cab group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24857: Really inventive idea. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24835: Feel like anagrams with a letter missing might be a wee bit unfair (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24717: good one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24419: Bands = groups, tv channels = broadcasters. Answers are too restrictive. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24852: Cannot BELIEVE the group I didn't spot was visually the most obvious one, very sneaky and clever :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #23711: Good fun - you literally have to 'know your onions' (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24707: Cracked it! :D Bigtoe was ropy ( it's two words really), swap that out and it'd be spot on (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24851: Great theme and lateral thinking without being over the top difficult so it's still fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24393: Given the name of one of the famous dogs, canines ought to be correct! (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24703: Pence/pens are not homophones (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24854: Excellent idea, enjoyed (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24857: My one, loooonely red herring... (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24857: Brilliant idea, although I thought 10 CC was 10 200! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24857: NB typo on first version, apologies for repetition! (4 years, 8 months ago)

bt @ #4069: Pentium is a type of computer processor. Compaq and Commodore are computer manufacturers. The Macintosh is a type of computer, manufactured by Apple. So this category doesn't hang together at all. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24854: Have resubmitted this one- thanks Giggsy! (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #10501: what's a murder ball?? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24855: Really truly clever, probably my favourite of yours recently, had me totally stumped despite making perfect sense. Full marks from me :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24854: Great fun - Not too hard once you suss the categories (first tiny typo I have seen from you - you put V,VI,III etc... instead of IV) (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #10575: ditto everyone else. good grid but accepted connections needs work... (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #10578: it doesn't accept "navigational aids"! (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #10581: hmmmm.... it's "piece of my mind" or "peace of mind" not "piece of mind".... I'm also not convinced canyon is a homophoe of Kenyan but.... ok (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24652: All said. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24654: Yes, shuffle board - I got tripped up by trying to Type of bean in the Athlete group, which I see now was the intention. Fell for it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24661: Found you - like taking a long drink of wine - thanks - love them. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24724: Can be spelled with one or two l's - or so t'internet suggests. And more importantly is Blackadder dog... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24812: Couldn't agree more - I often open them and after a few secs think 'Nahhh, not for me' Usually ones with all numbers or clearly GOT, HP or LOTR characters/refs which is not a strong suit. Anyway, love yours and nice to hear from truecockney who is a ledge - I will go and search for your latest grids. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24852: I gave this one a go despite usually being put off by all names grids and I'm so glad- really excellent. Well hidden but clear clues, good red herrings, very little obscurity, everything you'd want. A big, surprised well done and full marks (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24847: Ha, yes! I actually started with that in mind, but changed it for the reason you've pointed out so eloquently! Didn't want complaints! Nearly used that as a red herring. I think it also created either one too many/ few crossovers somewhere, originally. Tried a few ideas before arriving at this. Funny old game, innit? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24851: Clever that the theme is obvious straight away but takes a bit of effort solving in time. Good fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24762: Love the shipping forecast (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24847: Funny - I got the ky group by using an a instead of an o - works with either and are both ways that 1 can be heard. Bit ...ky of me, possibly (4 years, 8 months ago)

dave @ #21021: Great grid – the hidden capitals stumped me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24826: Only took 3 goes this time - must be clueing in a bit. Great fun again. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24847: Once you get the hang of these... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Liam @ #24846: Clever girl... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24818: Hey Giggsy- don't know if you got the gist of the comments but I and others have found that trying to add certain punctuation marks/ symbols will disallow the grid- can't work out which but it may explain why you had trouble submitting one? (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #24851: Another great one, love this style of grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24850: Yay I actually solved this one. Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #15219: Really liked this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #24824: Excellent 👍 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jez82 @ #1601: Scientists suggest the plastic layers could be used to mark the start of the Anthropocene, the proposed geological epoch in which human activities have come to dominate the planet. They say after the bronze and iron ages, the current period may become known as the plastic age- it's also a novel by Percy Marks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bex @ #1601: Replace plastic with suffer and you would have had a great wall (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24851: Another good one from you. Thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Si @ #12684: "out of" is still not fixed (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24803: Neat, thank you. Couldn’t get past Mantel as an author so failed miserably... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Miss D @ #24850: Brill (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr C @ #24850: Supoib! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24845: I love that as a false group! Extremely clever, keeps it interesting. Looking forward to your next one. Top quality (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24848: Some really nice crossovers there (4 years, 8 months ago)

adam @ #24835: for the anagram of European cities the Clue MINK is missing the S for MINSK (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24845: Thanks! Missing S for the crustaceans does work, I hadn’t spotted that but it is a connection so you would get a point. The red herrings were Pawn, King, Knight, Bishop not being chess pieces (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24846: nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24845: Good stuff (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24845: 5/5 awesome! Got groups but thought the pawn group was "missing s" as that works too! Didn't spot the added link in that line. Very enjoyable (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #24845: mcgriddle (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24832: Like it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24824: brilliant grid 5/5 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24829: agree boo-urns got a point utter crap (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24836: Will not submit grid, bear with me... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24844: Apologies everyone I'm having trouble submitting this grid too, use of punctuation marks problem again probably (4 years, 8 months ago)

Theresa @ #24831: Isn't P worth 4 points not 3??? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24826: Ah thanks Ossie. Starting to feel a bit picked on- was hoping you were still friendly! This is exactly why I avoid social media, this site is the first time I've ever posted comments on the internet as I like games and this happens to be interactive. Not used to how people can get sometimes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24835: Wow- that was hard. Very well constructed, the anagrams were more fiendish than I can handle! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24835: Scare bleu.......but a good grid all the same! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24832: Oops. WingBut should indeed be WingNut. Thx. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24832: Really nice grid, I enjoyed that a lot- did spot a typo but it's obvious what it should say so it didn't detract from the game, for me. Top marks (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24833: Crumpet?...Although I suppose technically that is food! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24826: Lorna....I think you misunderstood my "it takes all sorts" comment on "that" grid....my comment was aimed at the perpetrator of the grid not your good self... (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24829: WHOA WHOA WHOA.....My reference to it taking "all sorts" was actually referring to whoever placed the grid under the name "lorna" in an attempt to mislead the rest of us that "Lorna" had submitted it......and it fooled me for a bit. As for the grid itself it was indeed childish but I have been guilty of that myself in the past so................he who has not sinned etc. I assume there is some "history" between the folks involved here but I do think we can do without it getting personal guys.....after all it's not bloody Facebook!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24833: Yep, liked that one. Footie, London & Food - can't get better than that. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DartKnight @ #24829: I was saying boo-urns (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24823: @ Boo-urns - Augusta is a famous golf course that has 18 holes. (4 years, 8 months ago)

boo-urns @ #24823: How does "augusta" have a hole in it? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24811: Very hard, but a good (failed in my case) challenge (4 years, 8 months ago)

boo-urns @ #24829: Absolute crap. Might have been funny if I was 10 years old. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24831: Superb grid. Shame I know nothing about cars. (4 years, 8 months ago)

garth grey @ #24824: Great stuff ! Best one I have played for ages (4 years, 8 months ago)

Critic @ #16602: Both "C" and "D" could be swapped with both "A" and "AA", so there are several possible solutions to this puzzle. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24830: Very good, very hard (4 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #24826: Good! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24829: Ok- Dartnight isn't my cup of tea and I don't usually say so, but made an exception because whereas some that are not so brilliant at least look like someone tried hard but failed- that one just looked like dicking about. I hate it when people say humour is offensive, so I didn't, as- like you say- each to their own. I did however react to the accusation that I have no sense of humour because I'm female. I'm also getting hostility for saying the last one was easy, but it was. Didn't say it was bad, just easy. the difference between me not liking a grid and me telling Puzzled to stop dictating what does and doesn't belong is that I contribute to the site. Many people just criticise. THAT was the point I was making. Dartnight, carry on, write your grids your way, I'll write mine, no more attacks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Teflon Boy @ #24829: Hear, hear Ossie, who are we to judge those based on the nature of their grids. Perchance we can just put aside our differences and focus on the thing that binds us all together; our love of grids. Lorna- is there any chance you could offer Dartknight an apology and we can put this all behind us? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Teflon Boy @ #24829: Hear, hear Ossie, who are we to judge those based on the nature of their grids.

Lorna- is there any chance you could offer Dartknight an apology and we can put this all behind us? (4 years, 8 months ago)

DFlynn @ #24826: This is really creative and well done. It took me probably 30 seconds to even figure out what was going on. Well done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24829: Ossie are you joining the prick brigade? thought you were better than that, as your grids are actually quite good, as I've often said. Let's not let this kind of crap ruin a good site. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24828: Lovely grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24829: Oh dear.....but as I said earlier today..it takes all sorts! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24829: Not exactly my style- getting a bit of harassment from people, but I'm not going to say what does and doesn't belong on the site because that's not my style either. (4 years, 8 months ago)

hannahw253 @ #24792: Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24829: Ah.......I thought it was a tad off beam for you Lorna......but I thought mayhap you had been struck with deep frustration.........................and was going to ask you out on a date!!!..8-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24796: No lie. Just mean it was easy (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24829: stop using my name you leud blender (4 years, 8 months ago)

Teflon Boy @ #24829: Not sure on this one... bit puerile for my tastes!! That being said managed to clock in at 10 seconds so haven't lost my touch. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DartKnight @ #24796: To put this into perspective, Lorna, I wrote this grid. I have just managed to complete it myself in 15 seconds... Was your 13 seconds a touch ambitious perhaps? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24828: Fir St (Fir Street) (4 years, 8 months ago)

DartKnight @ #24796: Well done Lorna, you must be so proud (4 years, 8 months ago)

DartKnight @ #24796: Well done Lorna, you must be so proud (4 years, 8 months ago)

DanC @ #24828: Clever. Didn’t get ‘where this tree lives’ in relation to first (4 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #24814: Wanker (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24812: Got the python ok. As I've said before, truecockney was the reason I started submitting my own. Absolutely love a bit of lateral thinking. Getting a lot of flack from purists and haters- I just don't get it- if you don't like curry don't complain that it's on the menu- just don't order it! There's something for everyone! If I open a grid and its ALL football/ celebs, I'll spend a few secs, maybe give up, move on with my life. Not have a 3 paragraph rant about it! Sheesh. (4 years, 8 months ago)

GG @ #24826: E10cellent x/x (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #24792: Great grid, thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24821: @ Matty - The clue for Atkinson was 'Rowan or Big Ron', both of which give the same answer. Big Ron I thought was too obscure, whereas more people will have heard of Rowan Atkinson. The labour reply was an explanation of each of the answers (as you asked for), not a repeat of the clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

truecockney @ #24812: I'm still around, Giggsy... set up a few and they may be about 5/6 pages down now! Could not get my head around this one though... (4 years, 8 months ago)

truecockney @ #24814: I've found that there are some punctuation combinations that the Puzzgrid gods frown upon. Haven't found anywhere that specifies which though... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #24821: Agree with Puzzled on this, I get what is being done, buts its 3 minutes to work out a cryptic clue, then try to guess a connection, Rowan Atkinson didn't mange Man u, so why not just say big Ron, the Rowan bit makes you think differently, also explanations for labour weren't the clues used. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Johnly @ #24775: Great fun (but impossible in 3 minutes!). (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #24824: Too hard for me but truly excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gaz @ #24824: BLEW MY MIND.... LOVED IT!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24826: You'd be amazed at how few words there were to choose from! It does differ, but it does fit. One group is actually pretty obvious, in a way, to get you started. Not as yuck as it looks (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24827: Struggled due to not having many shared references but kicking myself over the fiji group! Well done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24821: Go back, take a look, I've had one nice comment from you, rarely seen any others, or anything kinder than "nice but..." be a little self aware. We're not hurting anyone, we're having ideas, working hard, sharing. No-one is trying to make anyone feel stupid- challenged, stimulated, yes. But pedants and critics betray a one upmanship which is intended to put down. This is not the forum for an argument, but it needed saying, you've upset people before and Darksky has done a lot to make this site good. What do you contribute? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24821: "I've rarely seen a positive comment" -- then stop reading selectively maybe? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24823: I loved the crap group, ironically! 2 attempts again, 5 + 5 from me, again! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #24824: Love it, we need more like this, please. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24821: ps Darksky- didn't have a Scooby mate but keep at it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24827: Really good, stumped me big time. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24821: I'd say you're missing the point. Grids are not compulsory- if you don't like it, don't do it. Lots of people enjoy these. If you want formulaic, repetitive, stick to the rules, must- be- like- only- connect- or- I'm- not- playing- formats, stick to watching the programme. The beauty of the multitude of setters, the range and community of people willing to work very hard to create these, is VARIETY! I for one love original formats- they encourage flexibility of mind, you could do with this! Frankly you ARE a broken record- I've rarely seen a positive comment on here from you, it's easy to pick fault- have a go yourself! Sorry everyone to rant but I'm sick of a small minority of commentators contributing nothing but negativity. Mike drop. (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #24824: didnt get any but got all of the links. I was on it but didnt have enough time (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24826: Another very good idea, although Biotoxin is slightly 'different' due to missing letters being in a different order. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24818: Different - but spent too much time working out the actual words (4 years, 8 months ago)

newpuzz @ #24824: Excellent quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24824: Excellent, hard but fair. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24716: Not too difficult but fun with several crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24821: I realize this is a broken record now, but Connecting Walls are not Cryptic Crosswords. The trick is finding the connection between clear contents, NOT puzzling out the content of individual squares. This misses the point entirely. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24824: IT WORKS (4 years, 8 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24713: Tricky but fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24824: Excellent- I love the double layer of needing one set to get a clue, like some cryptic crosswords. Makes us work! 5 and 5 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aylesford 6th form @ #24813: This grid is brilliant! Well done! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24821: Managers Group Ron Atkinson (AKA Big Ron, or Rowan Atkinson) Matt Busby (Busby character was used by BT in adverts) Mourinho (self titled Special One, but not recently) Dave Sexton (Sexton is a leader in a church) Labour Keir Starmer (lawyer voted remain) Emily Thornberry (shouldn't need explanation) Lisa Nandy (Andy Pandy, sounds like Nandy) Rebecca Long Bailey (Extended = Long, Court = Old Bailey) Monopoly Think these are self explanatory. Opposition Wiliam Hague (The Hague is in Netherlands) Tony Blair (Linda Blair starred in The Exorcist) Michael Foot (put your foot it in, which he did) John Smith (most popular / common name in England) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Renata Bockova @ #24822: jake jsou ostatni linky? Napsala jsem minuly cas, zvirata, mesta (4 years, 8 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #24821: even with the answers, still puzzled, I get whats being done, but better explanations of some answers would help (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24816: Nice, also took ages sorting the keepers (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24815: I recall a comment/criticism a few weeks back about one of my groups not being "common knowledge".........which I thought is half the bleedin' point of these puzzles.......but it takes all sorts I suppose! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aylesford 6th form @ #24790: Good grid, but we didn't do that well. Who knows Jamie Oliver's kids middle names? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24819: Fun, but not time consuming (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24816: Frustrating for a footy fan (so many keepers), totally bewildering to a non footy fan....Top work (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24818: Biggest form of flattery- although you did use some I already used for a "9" grid- there are only so many words! I'm just glad you're enjoying the format. :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24813: Thanks! If you like this format I did a few others like it previously (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24813: Good concept, slight easier than first expected. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24818: Would have been better without the 'answers' in the clue. ie - use random character. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24818: OK - no more copying from now on - sorry. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24813: Surprisingly easy and difficult at the same time. Very nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24815: Yes - the GK's are a bit specialist knowledge - mind you, I spend half my time afterwards looking things up I didn't know, so... part of the learning curve. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24812: Thanks Lorna - Tad 'pythony' maybe - awaiting the backlash on that. I used to love the truecockney grids - did you ever do any of those? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24813: Great - Surprised no-one has done numbers in this way yet - tons of fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24817: gone again (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24815: good red herrings- lots here I didn't know (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24373: The euphemisms are synonyms. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24815: Same as 24816 - it listed it twice - not sure why. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24816: Same as 24815 - it listed it twice - not sure why. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24812: website glitch? If its all exactly the same (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24809: Kier having similar problems and is testing. The only time a grid wouldn't submit for me was when red warning message popped up on the submission page as I'd entered symbols in the accepted answers box (at the beginning of the line) but I can't remember details? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24814: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Is that you having a breakdown?!! This one opened too. Can't wait for the actual grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24814: WARNING: This is also a complete waste of time. Just another trial run. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24329: Pretzel is a bread not a pastry. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24796: I went right down to only 2 seconds remaining on this one! Good grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24812: I absolutely loved it!!!! SEVERAL attempts but so worth the wait and the work, on both our parts! A few I couldn't get, mostly due to not knowing some references, but in the main part they worked. I'd possibly have gone for synonyms rather than examples, eg. "limb in feline"- but they all definitely worked- it just depends on how hard you want to make it. Impressive work and great subject matter. Obviously 5 and 5!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24812: This is my third time trying to get this up - ignore 24806 and 24809 if you can get them to open (I couldn't) - they are exactly the same grid. This might annoy some - don't get too cross - it's just for fun - just trying to channel Lorna with her last one - and no doubt failing miserably. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24775: Hey Lorna - I just tried to post one in this vein (tried it twice 24806 and 24809) and I can't get either to open. Never done 'longer' clues before so wondering what I might be doing wrong. Can you open either? (they are the same grid essentially) - thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24809: I can't get this one or 24806 to open. Got a red line round the begin box. Any idea what I am doing wrong, anyone? - never happened before. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24806: another one that won't open? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24796: this took me 13 seconds, but at least it was clean! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24778: Not impossible, it is fair, just quite tough knowledge wise, helps if you bake! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24786: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to work into your next conversation! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24775: That's the spirit, Giggsy! Haters gonna hate... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24803: Fishy! Missed the Swift group as I thought it was Jonathan, so just authors, and some new fish there too! Very good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24801: This one yes, last one no. Thanks for the explanation- would you believe it took me a while to "solve" this- embarassing! Also, thanks for using the word huzzah. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24780: Nice and tricky (4 years, 8 months ago)

Teflon Boy @ #24796: The Dartknight strikes again, top form as always! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24801: Huzzah, it works. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24796: Good mix. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24792: Loved this, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24800: Yep, I tried submitting the same wall again, it doesn't work. Great. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tom c @ #24781: Very hard but fair. Had nothing until about 40 seconds to go but managed to complete the grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Your fave student @ #24778: This is impossible... We got 3 of the links and there was 7 of us :( (4 years, 8 months ago)

Farmer Fred @ #16598: One can swap the "cuff" and "collar" items and the grid would still work, meaning the set solution is not the only possible solution. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lisa @ #24795: Very difficult but proud of myself for getting 6/10 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24791: It's not even working for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

John Jones @ #24795: Very good although you need to have good knowledge of the uk/ be British to do well here (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24792: Brilliant (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24775: Clever and great fun - Puzzgrid and Cryptic crossword combined. Took 4 goes and still missed chamber, but who cares - thanks. Going to try one - won't be as good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24792: Very Good, Very Clever, Very Simple (4 years, 8 months ago)

Tina @ #24792: Loved this one, challenging but not too easy. Lots and lots o crossovers! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24786: Always good to learn a new word (Spatchcock). Clever grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24791: can't get this one open... is it working for anyone else? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24792: Flawless! Full marks. Solveable but nicely challenging with so many crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #24792: Nice! I completely missed the DiCaprio characters and had to brute force the salads and the greats. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24787: Excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24775: Now this is baffling! Great though (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #24782: Loved this one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24789: I love Peter Dinklage. Brilliant actor. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24787: Had 2 goes- some of it over my head! The ones I got were very satisfying. It's a fun style, isn't it? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ket @ #24784: I messed this one up oops (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24775: I actually thought chamber was the easiest in the group. Impossible in the time but an excellent grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24782: Excellent grid. Big smiles from me :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24775: I thought you'd like this one! It's not for everyone, apparently! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24782: Great (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24764: Liked it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24775: Top gridding. 10/10 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24773: Erm, how thick do I feel after doing (or not doing) that!! Excellent work. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24772: Good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #24777: nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24778: Another hard one! Very good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24779: Wow! that was a toughie! Always think jazz hands sounds euphemistic. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24782: We're officially halfway through, everyone, and I have an announcement, the alphabet walls are going on a hiatus for a bit. They'll be back, don't worry. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24775: SPOILER ALERT I always say there's no harm in having a second go- it's meant to be fun and no one is keeping score! 1/4 heart refers to the 4 quarters of the heart, the atria and ventricles, which are referred to as chambers. I tried to include one giveaway clue per group to give you a thread to pull- heavy metal was the easy one in that group, I think. (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #24775: impossible to finish in the time ... wasn't crazy for the musical genres, particularly chamber (which I still don't understand) and can't get a couple of others even with the groups but a good effort (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24774: 2 very reasonable groups there, one a bit tricky but fair, agree one was too niche for puzzgrid (4 years, 8 months ago)

kohnnie @ #24777: Nice grid - a red herring in every selection (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24769: Bit harsh! Two reasonable groups, one nice and literary, one very clever wordplay, wide mix of subjects, no pokemon or American football teams- all good in my book! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #24774: one was little Niche :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24767: Learnt a few things on this well set grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24777: Back in bowl! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24777: That reminds me...I MUST watch the man with two brains again soon!!..8-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24764: Nighteyes...fair comment but as far as I know I can't go back and edit it?? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24763: Yep, tricky indeed. Top marks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24777: 20 seconds but good mix of subjects- lots of thing here that I like! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24763: I think that's the most crossovers/ red herrings I've ever used, if you include the false group, so easy to get snagged! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24773: Really lovely, quality grid. I struggled, got animals no problem but was trying to group Shetlands only, and the others were very well hidden. Full marks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24759: A valid answer for the languages group is also "nationalities". So what is the actual definition for the Polish group? Words with more than one meaning? That's pretty broad. If you had swapped wave for something like compound, or buffet, then they would all have been heteronyms, which would have been a good group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24767: Cinematic term, as in camera shot. Refers to framing the actor to include head to hips. I wanted different contexts for shots, to interrupt trains of thought. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24750: I liked the v group, very clever (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24747: This is a lovely grid, thanks 👍 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24762: A nice easy one for a change. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24763: Oddly enough, I knew about rebus, but left out instruction manual, because that does not have to have pictures, so the red herrings got me, especially as I assumed Bottom would be in the Shakespeare group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24758: No Comment :-( (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24764: You might want to make "sitcoms" an acceptable answer to the Cheers group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24747: Once I realised Ford wasn't an answer, I made good progress. Liked the grid a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24767: It utterly defeated me. I have no idea why, the answers were all reasonable. Though, I think I'd question "Cowboy shot". What does that mean? (4 years, 8 months ago)

ahay @ #24707: So clever and fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Super Brad @ #24724: Colin is the dog in Blckadder DUH (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24772: Properly Policed of course! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24772: I'm still waiting for Alan Partridge to organise Jet to host a Barn Dance!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24773: Nope.....I didn't even get close with any of them!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

birdbrain @ #24758: Thumbs up (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jonny @ #24772: Jet always was my favourite gladiator (4 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #24767: Good quality grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Super Brad @ #24768: Some sort of BANDIT mate (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grant Galletly @ #24769: do another one, this one is tat (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #24767: Difficult but fun, scored 3/10. Cheers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #24762: Agree, got 10/10 pretty quickly, but it is a nice grid in the classic OC style. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #24742: Not a bad grid. I have never heard of Essex in that context but perhaps others have. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #24737: It wouldn't accept constellation! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24760: I liked this- couldn't do it- but not sure how "general audience" it is? great for teaching chemistry! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24763: To be honest neither did I- I looked it up for the purposes- funnily enough the det. idea came after. Lovely that you and I seemed to continue a running theme! BTW really wanted to include last jedi in the ade group as it surprised me! but not enough crossovers :( Nice couple of grids for the detectives out there! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24764: lovely crossovers, very high quality (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #24760: Hi (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dominik Dubis @ #24760: Very Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24763: Well stone me...I never knew that about Rebus. I only know the Detective which was clearly part of your cunning plan...and by Jingo it worked!!....and spookily I am currently in the middle of reading a (yet another!) Rebus book (4 years, 8 months ago)

Robert @ #6733: A GOOD ONE (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #24754: Very nice grid, but the linking terms could be more generous. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24762: easy but a high quality. Good mix and nicely done (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24724: Get it! Think it's 2 l's, threw me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24753: I did a very similar group, quite recently... just sayin' (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24758: Yes, I know, it's silly! Just a bit of fun! ; ) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24740: At first glance seemed tricky, but things seemed to fall into place after the first group. Nice one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

A Mary @ #24742: Thoroughly enjoyed solving the grid! A fairly straightforward one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jime @ #24739: Enjoyed it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24724: Colinear - co-linear (lying in the same straight line or linear sequence.) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24745: Darren Brown?..... Derren maybe (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24752: The first word is "A", not "Tale"... (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24748: nice, very cricket-y. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24288: Wall and countries should have been sufficient! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24747: I liked this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gavin @ #24714: Excellent variety of puzzles (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24741: Mostly worked but its yin yang, I wouldn't really call giblet a cut as such, tip is weak without wing, deep blue is tenuous...sorry it's all very negative! You had some really good ideas for groups, just needs polishing a bit. (4 years, 8 months ago)

noodles @ #24734: Really not a fan of the maggot line connection, but the rest was a good wall. (4 years, 8 months ago)

crinkle @ #583: seems like a lot of people struggling with the parameters of correct answers on the eject, stop etc group. I put in "tape" and feel a bit hard done by. didn't occur to me how challenging it would be to succinctly describe this obvious group in a way everyone can agree on! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24736: Good grid, which fell in my stronger areas. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24737: I think chop and mince may be interchangeable, but a good effort nonetheless (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24734: Maggot line? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24728: Not my cup of tea. (4 years, 8 months ago)

??? @ #24728: ???: and when was Dresden the capital of Germany? (4 years, 8 months ago)

??? @ #24729: and when was Dresden the capital of Germany? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24725: Another who struggled with this, but good worka ll the same (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24728: not too shabby. I didn't know the former capitals so lost out on a good score there. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24724: Liked that one once I got going. Good theme. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24729: Oh. Well, on to the next one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24723: As impossible as it gets for me, but nonetheless a good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24710: Ah- I can see why! That wasn't deliberate- sorry! Hope you enjoyed (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24727: Completely thrown! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24710: fooled me completely, I was looking for "at" (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24724: ver and aware were particularly clever! What is colin? (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24718: challenging (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24723: I was all over the place looking for artists, composers. Baffling! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24720: Under 20 again! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24721: I would have had 10 if I had remembered the apostrophe... Nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24719: Very nice crossovers and easy for fans of the programme! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24718: There should BE an Indian Jones! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24718: Full of red herrings and crossovers. Well thought out (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24717: Just under 20 secs woohoo! Nice theme (4 years, 8 months ago)

Zakarex @ #24725: I did! I was being thick! Whoops! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24715: AAAArgh! So close! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24714: Nicely themed (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24725: I'm feeling very thick tonight. But in my defence, I think you mean "can Precede" rather than "Can be preceded by". Stop Full? Stop Back? Don't know whether I'd have got it anyway,just saying... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24712: Some nice crossovers. Parkrun threw me... not heard of it let alone terms! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24711: Some beautiful use of language. I enjoyed that (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24719: Hmmm. having worked in the area for many years, I won't agree that London Bridge is an attraction.... but very nice links! I must try harder. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24713: clever. fooled me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24712: feeling dense. what on earth is parkrun? must get out more... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24707: Wow, thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24705: Absolute minefield trying to find one that wasn't massively racist- sounding!!!! - :O (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24723: cor, that was hard. I recognised one shop, and one artist, and thought Suzuki was a motorbike! nice one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24717: nice, I failed because I didn't know blue ice, and kept trying to make it fit the black group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #24718: The purple group link was truly lame, and ruined an otherwise ok grid. Who is Indian Jones? (4 years, 8 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #24720: Very nice grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #24719: Nice. But you won't catch me out with chocolate bars! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24717: Great stuff (4 years, 8 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #24717: Liked this one a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24705: me too - 'nag' word. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24720: Nice crossovers. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24719: After a sticky start, got there in the end. Good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24707: Fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ben Goold @ #24722: Overall a fun grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mr C @ #24714: Superb. The only slight criticism is that I was looking for four names with 4 letters in and didn't spot "al" for quite a while. Very nice hidden clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #24710: Brilliant! Very clever. Incredibly difficult but gettable with a nice link between the links. I worked out the theme much too late so ran out of time but it was very satisfying to spot the connection and then rush to try to work out the links. Really well thought through, I’d give this 6 stars if I could! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24718: Nice, needle in a haystack type answers for a couple. (4 years, 8 months ago)

neilb4god @ #24707: 5 stars for originality and execution (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24715: Excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24697: Yep, befuddled me. Brilliant fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24705: Learnt a new word, thanks! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24713: Nice and tricky (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24712: Good grid, get the sporty category and the rest sort of opens up. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24711: Fun, but not too time consuming (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #5743: film one is also synonyms for large (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24704: Ha ha! Really thought I'd checked and re checked but I'm getting tired! Still got the lurgy so not slept well for days, as you can probably tell from the volume of submissions! Time for a break (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24707: liked it but ran out of time. forgot to look for the roman numeral as well, so that slowed me down! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24707: Agreed, good fun, especially as there were some crossovers, AND no spelling mistakes :-) :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie @ #24710: Very clever- beat me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24704: Tut Tut, more haste less speed :-), although very good idea and the typo probably didn't / won't stop people getting the groups. (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #24707: Really enjoyed that. Straightforward when you work out what you need to do, but nice to do something a bit different. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24703: Buck and Pence are reeeeeeeeeally stretching the connection. Other three good groups. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24702: oooooh, what book? Any good? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24702: Lovely jubbly. Enjoyed the use of bodach, which happens to come from the book right next to me at this moment. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24710: Hi this is a re-write- don't bother with my next 2 grids as they are both mistakes! i Lo siento mucho! >:( (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24700: Struggled as usual with anything musical related, albeit good groups & clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24698: Good, confidence boosting grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24697: Very challenging and enjoyable, but too good for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24709: Also- not a unique solution, I think. So sorry! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24709: Apologies- another repetition, another mistake! Doh! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24708: AAAARGH! Accidentally posted my answers! Numpty! Sorry folks, another mistake- time for a break! (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #2621: didn't like misspelt words but rest were good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24694: Good grid, albeit not too difficult if you watch TV. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mol @ #2077: Dance should be accepted (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24705: cor! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24702: Wasn't sure if I'd get away with Dai as a word puzzle- banking on the Welsh name mislead- so thanks for the feedback! Hope you're enjoying these. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #11117: (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24705: Sorry for the repetition- this is an amended grid due to a typo on the previous submission (4 years, 8 months ago)

Est @ #11134: It didn't accept my answers of "anagrams of vehicles" for the methods of transport or my "never gonna" for Rick Astley Never Gonna. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24704: Huge apologies! Typo on one b word. I'll re-submit (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24702: nice - I thought Dai might be Welsh for white which could have taken me the wrong way, but I worked it out when I spotted the missing letters! (4 years, 8 months ago)

A Mary @ #2748: I could not figure out the _bars! Other than that, it was a fantastically satisfying grid to solve (4 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #5633: neat (4 years, 8 months ago)

cjn102 @ #24697: Too tough for me (4 points) but very much enjoyed the skll group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

A Mary @ #24682: Such a good time solving this grid. I got a little confused over finding the identical set of clues, but ultimately it was just intelligently crafted to throw the puzzle solvers off :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24700: Quite easy- 30 secs- so not fiendish? Coy turn threw me at first but spotted the group by the others. Really nicely done, I like the style and variety (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22213: two easy two not so but cracked it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22367: Not a bad quiz, but oh dear I missed the wizard of oz clues. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24698: Lovely crossovers (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22427: good quiz nearly missed the French clue (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22604: Easy quiz, but bread loaf not sure ? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24689: Tennis threw me! Got the films first- good to include an easier group in such a tough grid. Wow (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22740: Not as easy as I thought !!!! but a good quiz (4 years, 8 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22765: ran out of time trying to get my boxers but new all the answers. pretty good one though (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24692: good fun - had difficulty recollecting which actor played all those roles... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24695: Fiendish! Had not a scooby about the Kardashians but it is common knowledge; anagrams were very tricky, got the names easily, only recognised the knife- was chasing possible knives around! Brilliantly deceptive (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24694: Really hard to distinguish between the comedians as many have been on MTW so I struggled with that despite recognising all of them and watching both shows. I loved the Initials line. Really like your grids, always challenging (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24693: Got most of these but the Affleck group really threw me! Good (4 years, 8 months ago)

hazel @ #24622: had to get almost exact wording for links to be correct (ie I used sea instead of wave, and defence instead of structure), but really good test of knowledge. thanks Robbie! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24692: Thanks, a nice easy one for the self-esteem. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24691: Also- poor excuse- I tend to use clue length as camouflage otherwise the hidden words stand out a mile. Rule of thumb for my grids is: if there's a lot of reading, look for hidden words first! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24691: yeah- it wasn't meant to be a suffix/ prefix type of line, more another cryptic. Maybe that didn't come across. Re length of clues, it depends on how strict you are about time. I feel no shame in having second goes at tough grids, as long as I enjoy them! Some people do care about scores, so I take your point. Ta! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24691: I think Daz means you had Art at the beginning and the end, even though you 'suggested' that wasn't the right approach on another grid :-) I really liked the 'Seat' clue btw. Also, the groups and ideas are great, but sometimes too much time is required to re-read the longer clues when searching for the rest of a group once the link is known. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24690: Didn't like the strecth required for the 'who' group. Liked the rest. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24689: Top grid. Numbers were different enough to allow the groups to be found. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24688: WOW - that was tough (but good), especially the nicknames. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24686: I respectfully disagree- it was by no means easy but entirely fair- the 2 good groups were distinguishable and not interchangeable, the other "good" prefixed words- which honestly could be almost any word, stood as viable red herrings. Usually too many in a group is irksome but I can see that here it has been used as a motif and unique style. I had no problem with it, just makes you think a bit further beyond the obvious. Not popular but not necessarily bad. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24687: What's the problem? makes perfect sense! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24691: Hi Daz thanks for commenting- could you explain what you mean? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #24687: chough??? piano bar??? ice bar??? not a very good one... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24685: Darksky- would that be a back reference to a certain person's major rant? Phew! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Daz @ #24691: Very tough and not too bad, although the Art one wasnt done correctly. 3/4 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24683: I agree grouch that it does make the grid a lot harder. I suppose- as always- it depends on whether it adds or detracts from a grid to include those clues. they make you think, though (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #17723: as ever I fail to spot words within words (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #17874: I thought it was a wag, but realised it was a card when I saw the other cards (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24690: not sure if I think Romeo or wolf fit... or of Virginia group was tenuous? Some really clever ideas but it felt a bit frustrating at the reveal, rather than "ah- sneaky!" (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24683: pig latin thumbs up (4 years, 8 months ago)

julian @ #24680: As an ohioan who enjoys Wodehouse, i appreciated this grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

clever @ #24689: girl (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24685: Whoops! thanks. I misread a diagram! Won't affect accepted terms- hopefully no harm done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nz @ #24655: Actually he sang China Girl (4 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #24685: Archea kingdom are prokaryotes not eukaryotes; used to be lumped in with Bacteria. Great Grid :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #24255: 'Over' also works for the 'long' group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24669: harsh but fair. In my defence, a) I was drunk hence the typos. no excuse really. and b) Ringo was mainly known by his first name... which wasn't really his first name. Must do better... (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24687: I liked this. Didn't know the others in the magpie + robin hood line, so missed it. Very well done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Dave 2B @ #11637: PERNICKERTY, Penelope is right. 4 for the connections, 4 for the meanings and 2 bonus for getting them all right, as per the actual TV show on which it's based. This was a good grid let down by poor/limited meaning options. Which is par for the course. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #24666: Nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24655: David Bowie sang China Doll (4 years, 8 months ago)

Somebody @ #24551: Tom League (unit of area) A league can also be a unit of area, used to express the area of land, that is equal to 25 million square varas. A (square) league is equivalent to about 4,428.4 acres (1,792.11 ha). (4 years, 8 months ago)

namelesshere @ #23309: 13 seconds - boom. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24686: FAR too many ''good'' options.. there's a line between red herrings and just random chance, and that's on the wrong side of it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24670: TIMMY Mallett ( not tim mallet) and the ''sounds ugly'' clue is very clumsy. Some good ideas but it needs refining. (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24669: needs tidying up! Wouldn't accept ''synonyms'' in the lazy category, random capitals are distracting, in the drummer group you had 3 second names and one first name and that's always irksome (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24666: i like (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24229: I'm with you on this Kier. Didn't get 1 point but was chasing a lot of right answers around. Slippery and well constructed. Sometimes its easier to put synonym- as long as you award points, wheres the harm?! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24288: deserves more stars (4 years, 8 months ago)

Grouch @ #24683: "Before or after" in the same group is a cardinal sin when making grids on here in my opinion. I always like to assume grid makers haven't resorted to that when I'm actually playing a grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24305: lord of the herrings! work of genius (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24685: I did some random guessing here, got there in the end. Fabulous stuff Lorna, as always. Now it's time to watch the real Only Connect on telly! My poor brain. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24682: To Darksky: I did realise that using the same clue twice was problematic, but I put them in the same group to lessen the annoyance. Still, I recognize your concern. To Lorna: A person thank you to all of the positive comments you've left on my walls. It really means a lot, kudos. To Sam W: You lost me halfway through your comment. (4 years, 8 months ago)

boo-urns @ #24669: OK categories, horrible execution. Proof read your submissions! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ridge @ #24683: Good grid, I particularly like pigeon! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24685: Did it give you a point? Tried to keep the accepteds broad (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24685: Not 8 or 10, but 9 seconds to spare, although random guess for the meaning of the tough group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24679: Dartknight seems to have disappeared from the best grids list- maybe not just the girls who didn't rate it after all? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24684: Great- didn't spot anagrams. you've made me hungry but I'll let you off! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24683: Eon group is clever (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24682: Brilliant- you're putting some older setters to shame! very well constructed, herringy and extremely satisfying to solve. Sam W I didn't understand your comment? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24681: Excellent. the yogurt group made me laugh- not an obvious link! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24679: Hmmmm... I've got a pretty broad sense of humour, it's just a bit peurile for me. Each to their own, though (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24673: well, it still worked, I got the words, and it was fun. easy to slip once in a while, we all have! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24666: Enjoyed this, just still the small messy issue of a couple of clues not having caps (4 years, 8 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24669: Poor quality, mix of caps and no caps makes it messy, and lots of clumsy spelling mistakes in explanations (4 years, 8 months ago)

Full Marks :-) @ #4547: Brilliant Grid from a Londoner (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #24678: Great 7/10, you've still got it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Sam Winston @ #24682: I liked the use of the same clue twice - good red herring. There is one group with two possible linkes - the _Lands group arfe four of the five (I think) words in the English Language, which on this board is fairly distinct (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24682: Using same clue twice was unnecessary with the amount of answers to choose from. Rest was OK though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24681: Not getting all the groups was indeed a tragedy. Nice grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24673: Oh bugger. It's meant to be MENTHOLATED 😣 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24673: Is it methylated? with a y? Couldn't find an "o" version. good grid though, Montysprogs (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24671: Thanks- Got the palindromes and cryptics- didn't know Freddie or the shearer ref, hadn't heard of rainforest shower. thanks for explaining! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24680: Wodehouse got me! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #24663: Funny things, words. A great grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #24663: Funny things, words. A great grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24679: Lorna.......it's a boy thing!!...8-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24680: Great grid- guessed the ice group but befuddled by all the Wodehouse. Very well done, clever stuff (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24673: Got the Pre-Fab Sprout and sauce groups and I was on the right track in searching for something "hidden" in the others but Spanish didn't click so that was me stumped.....good work! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24679: I'd laugh if it was clever. Or if I was 11 (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24678: Brilliant. totally fooled yet completely fair. top marks (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24677: there's a reason for that, Teflon boy (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24677: Again....it made me chuckle but.......................!!!!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24679: Well it made me laugh but I dread to think how some of the less "relaxed" members (no pun intended) of this community will react!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lord Farquad @ #24679: What a beautifully thought out quiz Exquisite (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24678: Yep, good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

DartKnight @ #24679: Now THIS is a grid your can get your teeth into (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24677: Not my cup of tea, but each to their own. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #24674: Lovely grid to start the week, thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Teflon Boy @ #24677: They don't make grids like this anymore. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24673: Where was the spelling mistake? ? (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24675: Apart from the Prime Ministers all things that make for a good night!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #24667: Pretty straightforward, but I still failed the missing link for one of the categories (couldn't decide whether "votive" or "nated" was a word, guessed wrong :D) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Super Brad @ #24669: TUT (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24671: Meteor Shower, Rainforest Shower, Cold Shower, Show ER (little more cryptic) Palindromes I assume you got / understood. Head group (school leader is a head, head in a certain direction, Freddie Head is a famous horse trainer, Alan Shearer - footballer well known for scoring with his head) Torn group - Rip Torn is an actor, Torn Curtain is a film, Ripped synonymos with torn, Hill (AKA Tor) with N (n represents a number) so again more cryptic. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24673: I liked it- just had a spelling mistake. Good idea though (4 years, 8 months ago)

birdbrain @ #24673: spanish bit is tenuous (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24675: Many words have wider meaning, it's still valid to include them if they work! Excellent wordplay here, kept me guessing until the last minute. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24674: quick one for me but I think I was just lucky to miss the red herrings- spotted them after. Nice grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24671: I didn't understand some of these- would you have time to post explanations? :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24672: Don't know my pants clearly......nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24675: Hahahaha - went round in circles looking for ciders, kept thinking I'd misclicked and then the time was up. Good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24674: Nice crossovers & enjoyably straightforward. (4 years, 8 months ago)

MT @ #24675: Prophylactic has a much wider sense than the one you used but otherwise a good grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24662: Excellent x (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24672: Tzu got me. I'm a silly egg. Great work as always x (4 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #1396: Solid, thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24671: Typo on submitter, should be Darksky (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24669: I liked this but watch your caps as groups stood out! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24668: great, just got it, love the eubank group (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #21279: clever, Who knew that animal man was a superhero? not me... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24669: Clue duplication (Terry) and groups containing both clues for surname and christian names make it a bit 'messy. OK grid though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24666: I think the Phil the Greek is a Private Eye thing... (4 years, 8 months ago)

Gj @ #24662: (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24667: wow that was HARD. weyhey!!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24667: For too difficult (well done for that) for a monday morning :-) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24477: Just had another pop at this one, having forgotten the answers- still took me 2 attempts! Satisfying grid, a lot of work here (4 years, 8 months ago)

x @ #24655: not sure what "david's doll" has to do with anything (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24601: Again- I know- it's the easiest way to put a definition in the box that will suit MOST PEOPLE as if you typed in every possible meaning it would be impossible. I was extremely generous with the accepted terms box, it shouldn't affect your game or your score. Try setting a few yourself, see how it works, complain less! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24662: Reynardine the Italians have been doing that for centuries! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24652: its still awesome! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24652: Ditto other comments. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24666: Yep, enjoyed that one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #24666: Not sure about Phil the Greek. Otherwise it was a good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24666: Lovely. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24664: very good- lean and coke threw me- not heard those before! (4 years, 8 months ago)

tom @ #24551: league is a measurement of length not area (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24663: words, words and more words - we like words (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24662: mmmmm - too good for me (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24661: Very challenging in a good way (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #9949: the inventor of Gaffer Tape has just died at the age of 92 (10th jan 2020) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24660: Fun, but simple and as already pointed out, many correct responses were ruled out. (4 years, 8 months ago)

tom @ #24601: curtsey is not a synonym with the others (4 years, 8 months ago)

ignore puzzled @ #24655: Puzzled - someone entirely up their own bottom! Excellent grid, really enjoyed it. Thank you. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jez @ #24664: Nice one (4 years, 8 months ago)

Reynardine @ #24662: Opera AND Pasta at the same time? That's mean and horrible... love it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #24626: Fun thanks (4 years, 8 months ago)

sadia @ #24655: Wouldn't say medium, blimey (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24655: Puzzled- appreciate your view, you obviously care a lot- occasionally added encryption is a way of camouflaging an entry amongst others rather than adding a layer of difficulty. Short answers amongst long can be sore thumbs. I don't know this setter's personal reasonings, it's more a general comment, but if you try submitting your own puzzgrids you'll probably see why some things are included/ choices made due to how the site works. Thanks, enjoy the puzzles (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24655: Perfect illustration of why the urge to be unnecessatily cryptic is detrimental to quality. Just write 20, 25, 40, 60. What the clues do instead is point to a number that could be totally random or identical. All of them could be 37. They could be 1, 3, 5 and 7. They could all be pi. What is *meant* of course is "natural number between x and y", but if you put it like that, it's obvious how contrived it is. Just write it out. Please. The connection does not need to be super exotic on each group, and stuff like this only draws attention to simple links instead of obscuring them. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24334: brilliant grid. SPA- nothing grid related but- from a fellow sufferer- tried rolling a tennis ball with your foot? May help :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24656: Fantastic grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24110: BO it LITERALLY says just that in the explanations! Do you go through these just trying to find fault? Meant to be fun- for the setters too! Brilliant grid, nothing wrong, very well done (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24649: Random- hope that doesn't include me! No hate- just had som 'splainin to do! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24661: I LOVE these! 6 stars, were it possible. Nearly 2 mins left but still felt challenging and a lot of fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24660: Great grid, but atrocious wording of solutions (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24662: Brilliant, baffling, fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24657: (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24662: This one's juuuust right. :D (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24660: nicely done (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24334: I know fascia because I've got one in my foot and it hurts! got other connections wrong however... (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24662: highbrow opera reference! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24658: but otherwise good fun! (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24658: my "accidental" group was fairies, I'm really bad at words within words, so I failed and only got 7. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Boots McFancies @ #24649: EDIT: HEARING has one R (4 years, 8 months ago)

Boots McFancies @ #24649: Senses - should be SIGHT not SEE and HEARING only has one N (4 years, 8 months ago)

BillyO @ #24110: A koala is not a bear (4 years, 8 months ago)

BillyO @ #24660: The first row isn't Roads? Landmarks didn't get any points either (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24658: Another top puzzle. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #281: Just found out that I’ve been spelling Chaplin wrong my whole life! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24654: Shuffle board! Oh, yes, very good! Finished it in 1.20, but it was a very enjoyable grid! (England cricketer might be out of date next season though!) 😄 (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24637: Great grid. I'm seeking out your grids now! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #15432: @Jim - loose tea is also fine. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24656: Refreshingly different! Very good, even though I couldn't complete it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24658: Very good, (although i didn't like the fairy group) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Christobal @ #24652: Good categories, but spelling and tense spoil it a bit. Should be "bring down". (4 years, 8 months ago)

Eric @ #4359: @Bobcat - me too! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #19786: Hienosti tehty! Ei hyväksytty vastausta "saaret" kun kuului olla "saari" - pitäis ehkä olla avainsanana "saar"... (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24654: Needed to refresh for extra time but completed on 2nd go. Clever herrings and clues! Great work. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24658: Mthyical fairy type thingies group was very clever. Brilliant work Lorna (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #24626: I put `female singers` and it said correct-I just assumed there must be a Guetta female singer too as well as the DJ guy! So why did it sat correct? The other set are just famous Davids not band leaders or solo singers Mal! Enjoyed it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24657: Lovely grid and I learned something! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24650: Not sure about 'reading' road signs. Looking yes, reading - in the main , no. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #22360: I liked the descending order of magnitude. I wasted a moment or two looking for things to go with a single screen... but got to split in time quickly. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24628: Agree on 'Alone', but rest was excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

ROBC @ #24631: nice - my first complete grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24656: Apologies- meant to type "site" where I've put "page"- it WILL NOT affect accepted answers :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

ROBC @ #24642: blue line really clever. The red line should have used their latinate names (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #24634: Female names let it down-too easy to find since there`s only 4 anyway. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24637: Thanks Krista but I have to credit the style to people like truecockney and jollycorpse who were submitting grids well before me. If you like cryptics, puzzles, general subversion of form then look them up, or my other grids! Hope you enjoy x (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mil @ #24555: Great (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24649: enter sandman by Metallica- one of those "you know it or you don't" types (4 years, 8 months ago)

Krista @ #24637: Enjoyed that,never seen one like it before! Failed to see the hidden hats though. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24637: Awwwwww, thanks. Shouldn't let it get to me! I'm grumpy cos the lurgy won't leave me alone. Mal- plenty more where that came from! Glad you guys are enjoying- I'm not for everyone but hopefully I'm keeping it interesting for you few folks! :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

ROBC @ #24649: Do not get the Sandman link. WW2 link a bit peculiar and not obviously linked (landing beach, retreat beach, death camp and Nazi HQ) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24652: aaaaah! typo and past tense threw me. I see it makes sense now, thanks Vixen (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #24652: Great, Lorna I think as in aircraft, Grounded? (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24655: Great and obviously right up my street! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24654: Brilliant. Loved shuffle board! Inspired (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24653: Absolutely devious! The palindromes was a bit too hard for me- they can be hard to spot at the best of times so making them sneaky was a double difficulty! The other group that I didn't get was hidden in plain sight though so kudos! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24654: Great grid. Brain was on a go slow, so didn't quite make it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24652: sooooo glad you're back. Great fun. don't understand bought down clue? (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24637: 29 seconds whoop! Word grids are my ''thing'' (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24640: Really good, liked the anagrams a lot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24653: If it wasn't already obvious, I'm going to attempt to make twenty six walls where all the clues start with the same letter. Nothing much here, just a quick note. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24643: Tough but enjoyable x (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24637: I'm not quite over the mardy lady who didn't like the fact based grids.It's all good fun. Brilliant work as always Lorna. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Mil @ #24601: I think the more red herrings the better! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24642: I enjoyed this, thanks. I didn’t know about Didacus and San Diego...another nugget for the memory bank! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #48: Very nice grid! I got that one of the groups was nuclear, but still didn't get it (never heard of nuclear family) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #10172: Excellent grid! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24629: Good fun - a pocket full of change helped (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24649: War group too vague - 'ees' should be anagram for sight not see - 'enter sandman' is two words not a full word like the others (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24643: I liked this - spent ages on BP- but found it too hard to get groups from the halves (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #11414: The Bear Necessities is a quite well-known song from Disney's animated version of The Jungle Book, so a valid connection exists. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24641: I liked it apart from the HP first names as they could have been anything (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24640: excellent. just got it (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #24635: Not great... requires a bit too much special knowledge, and the deleted endings should either be incuded or be the same, I think. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #24635: But the brain words are incomplete and do not all require the same suffixes. All very sketchy too. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #17271: i liked this one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24638: call me pedantic, but there is no greek letter that sounds like lavender. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24639: Excellent. Stumped on a few points especially the red herrings. 5 and 5 (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24635: ????? tenuous (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24637: Thanks Darksky. My fiendish ones are for people like you. My easier ones are more for the people who complain about my fiendish ones. The rest of the site is for people like Lars. Variety is the spice of life. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lars @ #24630: And apart from Carberus, it won’t accept Heracles!!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24638: do you mean Lambda? If so its too far a stretch. I'd say. If not- apologies! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lars @ #24637: Bizarre (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #24638: lavender? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Ragnar @ #2296: Very british. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24629: Great grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nb @ #24597: Something a bit different but it was too hard for me. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Nb @ #24601: Having a group of 6 is good. As you say it stops cycling. Worth doing as long as you keep the solution unique. I do agree that synonym isn't quite right, though. Good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24627: Enjoyable, but reasonably straightforward. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24629: Another good one. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Darksky @ #24637: Nice ideas, but slightly too easy to spot the groups. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24636: Huge apologies- due to a fault in the submission form this one won't reveal some answers- I have resubmitted it, sorry for the inconvenience! x (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24637: This one works! Apologies, all x (4 years, 8 months ago)

Jack @ #24618: Nice grid. The card suits red herring was good. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24627: Fandabbybabulous! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24630: Nice quiz. Fluked completing the wall but only successfully identified one group. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24630: excellent! Is Carberus a three headed transformer? ;) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24629: Ah yes so it is. won't affect accepted answers. Liz- sometimes I do riddle type ones, sometimes quizzy ones, for variety. can't please everyone all the time! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24629: Ah yes so it is. won't affect accepted answers (4 years, 8 months ago)

K @ #24629: The black horse is Lloyds Bank (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #5913: not bad (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #5911: v nice (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #5935: good grid - I spotted all the connections, but couldn't figure all the right combinations (4 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #24628: Love your style. I don't think "Alone" works here since everything else is effectively a definition. (4 years, 8 months ago)

minimum @ #24373: Good puzzle (4 years, 8 months ago)

minimum @ #24495: Not easy at all! Fiendishly difficult - but very clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

minimum @ #24583: Nice and easy - but I only knew the last group were footballers, not that they were Brazilian! (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24628: Only solved one group myself (got mix without 2 secs to go) but managed to get kiss and cross once it was resolved. Hard but good fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #24629: Hard but enjoyable. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #7697: Messy, difficult and extremely good fun. (4 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #24628: Excellent! Love your grids welcome back (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #6672: The vowels group was brilliant, i was so chuffed when i spotted it :) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lizbythesea @ #10577: Great, lots of red herrings then boom! it’s done (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lizbythesea @ #24629: Again to many fact based groups (4 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #15868: Nice and fun. Managed to get distracted by states and presidents, but got it right soon enough. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lizbythesea @ #24623: Too similar, need some that require lateral thinking, this was pure facts (4 years, 8 months ago)

Lizbythesea @ #24626: Demanding, mustn’t rush these grids (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24611: I hate to be negative but I have to agree- I've read HDM backwards and even I was struggling because I expected the solutions to be more. Peoples names as a category looks like you've had a great idea for a couple of groups but then just made a leftover group; it's hard for people to make a link if there barely is one. I do however thank you so much for bringing HDM to the table as I am a big Pullman fan. Love your original idea so all I suggest is that you work on it for a while to make it twisty and turny! Good luck, I'll look forward to your next one! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24628: Awesome- took me one and a half goes but I got there so it's more than fair. 1009 was inspired and fiendish! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24627: great- didn't know goober! nice pics (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24626: nice try but your musical categories could do with being tightened up a bit ( 3 female singers and one DJ in one group, 3 band leaders and one solo singer in the other made it messy) (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24627: Excellent (4 years, 8 months ago)

Pam @ #24576: No idea on the undead, got the darts & should have got the countries! (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24621: easy but well put together (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24611: Grid needs work. 3 potential HDM rounds and one other is odd. Didn't accept Daemon's as an answer, ''names'' is a weak category, not enough to distinguish why Lyra is in that category.. (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24626: Ganother gery good grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

mal @ #24608: that 'liquid' group is weird. an ok grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #113: I thought Meath was a county, not a province, so I got confused. Provinces are made up of counties. (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #114: fun (4 years, 8 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24619: I jibbered and jabbered and failed more than succeeded. Spotted the themes but didn’t know a few references and so couldn’t unravel in time. Excellent as ever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24619: It's possible to be a jibbering genius. Keep at it Montysprogs! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24626: Yet again brilliant and hard (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24624: nice, thought I'd solved it, but didn't quite make the last connection (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24625: great to see you back on here- one of my favourite setters and inspiration to have a go myself. Excellent grid (4 years, 8 months ago)

SPA @ #24622: nice theme (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24623: How? (4 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #24623: two music groups is cheating (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24601: I liked it. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24602: Nice work with Hugh Laurie (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24623: Nice references (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24619: Outstanding. Makes mine look like the brain-spew of a jibbering idiot. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24621: good (4 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #14064: Not good (4 years, 8 months ago)

minimum @ #2398: Really good! I didn't think I was going to get any of them to start with but managed at the last minute to sort them. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Keir H @ #24619: Compared to my other ones, I thought it was the easiest alphabet wall so far. (4 years, 8 months ago)

minimum @ #24570: Only got two categories. Didn't know the skydiving terms. Good grid. (4 years, 8 months ago)

minimum @ #24598: Good grid. Solved the groups but didn't know the Dr Who connection. (4 years, 8 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24610: Love this one (4 years, 8 months ago)

@euphemeister @ #24576: Darts players- got me (4 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #24581: Great grid, thanks. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24619: ffffffffffffflippin hard! Like your themes (4 years, 8 months ago)

pmyg @ #24560: To glooey: I think the issue is that you wrote "Johnathan" and not "Jonathan" (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24610: aaaaah! I see- typo! thanks. I don't believe it! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24616: book group was clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24610: S3 ep 4 the mainland, as himself (4 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #24610: Richard wiLson? (4 years, 8 months ago)

Laurence @ #24533: Nice and easy (4 years, 8 months ago)

squelchuk @ #24608: I put "raining" for men, tacos, cats/dogs and it's pouring and got given an incorrect answer (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24569: It may be an age thing Monty......I was around for all bar one of them!! (4 years, 8 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24571: Many thanks Mal....I think! (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #21376: very good (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24590: Phew- that was hard! Big trouble stood out for me but I never would have guessed the Russia group. Brazil group was very clever. (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24609: very good- I liked the Ritz group very much (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24606: I've just watched a recipe for opera cake and I think I'm in love. Thanks for introducing us (even though I think I put on 1/2 a stone through my eyes) (4 years, 8 months ago)

lorna @ #24601: it would accept bow, bend- was just anticipating most people to put synonym as its the most neutral answer. I used a 6 group as I thought this was a relatively easy one and having one red herring allows for aimless cycling of answers- I wanted people to think! Sorry it wasn't as popular- trying new styles to see what works! (4 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #24601: yeah... I love your quizzes Lorna but I think this one the inclusion of two "misters" that are not in the "mister" group but are referring to the "mister" product is too far... also the four ways of bending over aren't exactly synonyms, they're different kinds of bow/bend (4 years, 8 months ago)

Wordie @ #24606: Good grid. Beat me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tiggychops @ #8000: Pretty easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24585: too rich for me. must keep practicing. (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24604: hard for me, no interest in Australian politics (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24603: I'm with Puzzled on this one... (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24602: didn't get the Hugh Laurie clues, but apples was the first thing I spotted :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24594: I'm really bad at spotting words within words. (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24589: enjoyed it but didn't score many points! (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24599: took a punt on 'Dickens and hit the jackpot! (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24598: my first thought was cards, but there were only three, so I quickly moved on. enjoyable, but not too challenging. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24603: Still no idea what the Nathan group is about. Got the group because all names from same source, but solution is not actually given or recognised. (4 years, 9 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #24596: 3/10. Several references escaped me, and two categories are in a quite similar field. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24598: An easy 10/10 but still enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24598: Same as Lorna... a couple of clues stood out a bit too much, I think (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24594: iffy (4 years, 9 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #24576: 6/10, got stuck on a couple of the groups. Is it intentional that one of the red herrings can be discounted on spelling? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24587: Nice one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #24591: Another knowledge test rather than a puzzle grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24601: TOO many ''mr's'' (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24600: Payless?>... (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger @ #24602: Loved the Hugh Laurie references, but not too sure about the apples :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Beast @ #583: (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24572: i can't believe i remembered they were called DNA bases 35 years on! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24571: that is possibly the stupidest-but-smartest grid i have seen! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24555: nice, i liked that (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger @ #24572: Gave my O-level Chemistry a workout for sure! (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger @ #24594: Some nice distractions here, but too many loose ends for me... - A cardboard box might be described as cuboid, but not always a cube. - The idea of blue/yellow things is all very nice, but: - Only *Disney's* Flounder has those distinct colours. - Only *some types* of Macaw have those colours. (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger @ #24589: The wordplay one got me, but the other three groups were super. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Poohbear @ #24599: Nice grid but too hard for me - couldn’t get the Dickens one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24598: thought this was a really simple one until I read the comment below- how did I not see that?! Quick scan through, saw Humboldt, went from there- missed it completely! Credit due (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger @ #24598: Nice one, lots of false leads - especially the card deck theme that got me nowhere at all! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jim @ #10296: wonderful grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24571: Puerile and very silly. A refreshing change :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sezpuzz @ #10711: Love this one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #24579: Really well constructed. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24593: Nice wordplay! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24589: Good combination of general knowledge and wordplay :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24594: Very nice grid :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24593: also, I like to throw in an easy once in a while! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24593: Yeeeah, I'm getting tired now- been I'll three days, done a lot of these now! The previous one was inspired by your name, by the way! (4 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #24586: walls should beguile, bewitch and entertain.... was it up to scratch... like many walls.... people try too hard to beguile and bewitch and forget the entertainment part.... keep going though, you obviously have a talent :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24593: Words becoming slightly predictable. Still tricky to get the right ones though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24589: Very good, mixed grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24591: Was scrabbling around trying to find potatoes. .... Utterly briiliant (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24582: And sorry also for spelling your name wrong 😁 (4 years, 9 months ago)

squidney @ #24592: OOPS ! well spotted! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24582: Darksy, sorry about omitting PM, silly me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24592: Hilary not Hillary? (4 years, 9 months ago)

kohnnie @ #685: Good wall and the 'ch' was a nice touch. Was looking for a single letter but couldn't find one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

squidney @ #24589: Not sure why this is showing up as Fiendish - I def. chose MEDIUM (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24591: mmmmm - wonder how many will get the bird group. Very challenging, made me remember how little I know about most things. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kohnnie @ #24588: Pilates equipment too obscure. And what is 'Rue'? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24567: Got my big brother to thank for 2000AD. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24589: good wordy line (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24583: 12 seconds. Surely a record, but still fun. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24582: Good grid, PM should be allowed. Music stuff beat me, as it always will. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24580: Darnit, you're right, Darksky. Oh well, still not my worst spelling mistake...Zuckberg...*shudders* (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24580: Good grid, but spelling mistake on the Equilbr clue (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24589: Very good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24572: Good grid, must be in your DNA (boom, boom) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24586: ooo, right up my street! Had to make a bit of a leap for the straw group, that only made sense in hindsight. Really clever stuff (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24585: Very good, missed a lot there (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24584: Clever- Roan had me stumped as I was reading it the other way (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24580: Brilliant and ashamed I didn't spot hidden words!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24579: Not difficult but faultless! Lovely mix, lovely crossovers. How it should be done! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24577: Lovely to see 2 of my favourite actors on a grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Grumpy @ #47: um, apparently 'notes' isn't allowed. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24576: liked the wordy one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24569: Bloody hell. This might as well have been written in Hieroglyphics for me. I give you full credit for a grid that I could find no links in whatsoever! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24569: (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24572: Excellent grid! Got all but one group due to my genetic make up (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24568: Great grid! I got 10 but had to work for it :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

asd @ #2019: shit (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24567: Incognito Satan led me to that group. Great grid :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24566: Well now I know what a cockchafer is! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24560: Nice grid :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24559: Rude! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24556: Nice. The budgie group was tricky - even though that was my era :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24552: Nice easy one :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24567: Got the bands (love Crispy Ambulance!), my old 2000ad obsession got me to the comic book ones. The Elvis songs though.... You tricksy trickster. Great wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24554: Lots of clever crossovers but I guessed wrong! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Grumpy @ #14: synonyms? dwarves? apparently computer says no (4 years, 9 months ago)

birdbrain @ #24573: ridiculous. ungetttable I'd say (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24576: Tough but fair! Nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24535: Very good! (4 years, 9 months ago)

tpin @ #24580: Great and varied quiz (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sionnach91 @ #24579: Clever grid but i thought the categories were slightly specific. Steal and con weren't allowed for the final group (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #24574: Um- steak or stake? Spent a long time dismissing the vampire connection as a red herring on account of that! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24549: Easy but fun, nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #23830: Also this is not a unique solution. Mo is molybendium so can switch with ca or co. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24555: Yep, easy but fun. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daddy @ #7380: Excellent. I immediately gravitated to the palindrome red herring then felt disappointed. Good trap. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24577: Don’t ask me how I submitted the same quiz twice. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24578: Don’t ask me how I submitted the same quiz twice. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daddy @ #9214: Love it. Didn't complete it but once it solved I saw all the connections, very well done! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24576: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

tpin @ #24571: Hilarious (4 years, 9 months ago)

tpin @ #24573: Obscure and convoluted (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daddy @ #8000: Those damn welsh words! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Peter @ #24576: So close to a perfect score! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #23729: Krista - Mister Tom is pointing out that the solution is not unique - Tea and Pea can be swapped to create another valid solution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

tpin @ #24574: Loved it! Never seen such a diverse set of connections! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #24572: Very good, I was too obtuse to get the DNA Adenine group! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dak @ #24549: Satisfying grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #23859: The Nazgul are the riders. Loved that connection. The things they ride aren't given names except fell beasts. (4 years, 9 months ago)

sergio @ #24571: i thought it was on about widgies (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24572: For some reason I got the unintelligent group right away!!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24570: mix of capitals and lower case removed a red herring from that category in particular, ironically (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24568: Doesn't detract at all! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Super Brad @ #24556: Nice grid, think were around the same age (4 years, 9 months ago)

asd @ #2468: Ronaldo has played for PSV Eindhoven not Ajax (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24548: Nice one...had me going off at quite a few tangents!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24569: With due apologies for wasting the time of any non footy fans.....AND to myself for having to type Tottenham Hotspur so may times...I feel quite ill!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24566: Another fun grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24568: Aaaagh........I've done it again!!! Apologies (once more) for the erroneous placing of a comma after Hegerty, I hope (again) that it wasn't too misleading! (4 years, 9 months ago)

nick basire @ #24507: mmmm i love basagne (4 years, 9 months ago)

glooey @ #24550: Good board. Tough to do, but makes sense when you see the answers. Nice job :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

glooey @ #24560: Nice one on the pop names. :) But not accepting Johnathan without an 's'? C'mon. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24545: you're perfectly right- I should have included it in my answers!! ;)' (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24563: that's not why you should be angry at yourself, mate. Got to go shopping now- hope I don't forget my breasts. WHAAAAAAA? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24559: NOT ONE FOR KIDS WARNING the groups stood out like very poor piano shifters- four sore thumbs. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daddy @ #24563: Yep I realised I put ataract by accident, very angry at myself! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24563: Should just be aract (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24550: lovely (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24549: Ha! I fell for an assumption that DB was a red herring- nice double bluff! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24550: beautifully done (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24551: nice bit of history. Agree with monopoly def as its WHAT THESE STATIONS PARTICULARLY HAVE IN COMMON! Isn't that the point? Googled "labor, measurement area" and got an answer straight away (wiki). Acre kept me guessing that line for a while! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Lars @ #24547: Nice one. And Peep Show is recommended. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24555: easy but elegant (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24551: Pretty sure London came before Monopoly... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24535: My username probably gives the clue to why I approve of the Kiwi group :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24545: When I saw Simon Cowell and Needle scratch I immediately thought the connection was pricks (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24544: If that is Jacinda it should be Ardern, not Arden (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24547: Got 3 groups easily but haven't seen Peep show (4 years, 9 months ago)

Phill99 @ #24551: mal and SPA - try area measurement names in Google (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #2101: lots of wizards! (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger @ #24552: A good and fun grid, if a little on the easy side. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Veeyem @ #24495: Love this one. Fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24552: easy but solid and fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

Suitsyou @ #24547: Completed in under a minute but really enjoyed this grid. really well constructed and great crossovers! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24551: labor as a measure?? google hasn't helped.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Owen @ #23904: Enjoy the personality in the answers! Cheers (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24551: 10/10. quite nice grid, not too difficult. I know league, hectare, hide, but labor? I'll have to google it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Owen @ #23908: Got zero, fiendish, indeed (a couple tantalisingly within grasp) clever stuff. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24533: Good - but few crossovers (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #20788: nice and quick (4 years, 9 months ago)

Poohbear @ #24547: Nice grid, enjoyed the crossovers and false trails (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #20700: didn't get the decay group.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24533: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Owen @ #24527: Nice thanks, first I've tried on this site so apols if rating out as I've not calibrated. (4 years, 9 months ago)

wibble @ #24543: lovely stuff. (4 years, 9 months ago)

wibble @ #24541: bit of a urination obsession dave... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bertie @ #24544: Clever use of the kiss, awesome grid! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Darksky @ #24540: Would be a good grid other than the limited answers accepted. Software, for example, not accepted. Other groups had similar issues. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jeannie @ #24533: Great grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24544: great grid! way too easy as that colour is the first thing my brain shouts in response to that name! (4 years, 9 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #24541: Well constructed... not sure about the Riddle category tho! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pablo @ #24522: I got the answers but your descriptions don’t allow PM for prime minister or International institutions for the country group. A bit too easy, esp the PMs. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24540: I don't know how I finished that one! Somehow it made some sense. Well done (4 years, 9 months ago)

Disco Dave @ #24531: Nice smiths red herring (4 years, 9 months ago)

Disco Dave @ #24538: enjoyed it ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24538: Excellent! Clever stuff, I didn't spot the Bourne group- tried many suffixes! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24537: Great especially the wordy one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #24522: Agree with all. Got HP & HDM but not the other 2. I am Giggsy's illiterate friend ;-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #24525: Good one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24534: absolute bloody genius and I'm not ashamed to get nil points! I particularly loved the "you have to read it out loud" factor. Inspired. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24536: Didn't think I'd finish this one- not familiar with the apps so letter change really threw me! Red herrings were a bit off putting, and not in the usual way! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24521: 24083 (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24521: Thanks a lot! If you like the more cryptic ones, my first few attempts were more cryptic... Started with Lorna1stgrd then just Lorna after that (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24165: Looked at first and thought "yuck!" but can never resist tree based stuff and got hooked in- ended up giving 5! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24280: lovely (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ash @ #24309: confused... i put, lightening, (bracket, rope, chain, bolt) and i was correct... am i correct? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #24533: Thank you, that was good (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #24533: couple of nice red herrings in there (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bob @ #24529: Not much variation but very enjoyable anyway! (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #6692: very tricky wall (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #24521: Thanks Lorna. That was fun, as usual. Will you be my friend? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24530: I have a terrible fear of sat navs. That's my excuse for once losing the rear- light, and the deposit, on a hire car. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24533: nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

quirly @ #24483: i really liked it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ash @ #24439: Bum haha (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ash @ #24444: yup, not rodent. _ster... bit lame that one (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #5743: Yep the movies category tricked me (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #1161: I was looking for a Black and White category: Chess, Tea, Film Noir, Television. It is all I could focus on! (4 years, 9 months ago)

GG @ #24521: Excellent work Lorna, keep up the good work (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jon of Kent @ #24532: I got them all but one for the wrong reason - the Yorkshire terms all happen to make other words if you remove the first letter. I still can't see a name in Multigerm, although I am probably being a div (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #12698: duke was tricky. good theme (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bagsy37 @ #24533: Easy if you get one of the harder groups first. Nice grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24533: Well done! Not as easy as anticipated! (4 years, 9 months ago)

marbscle @ #24532: Tiger??? bit too vague (4 years, 9 months ago)

Peter @ #24532: Not sure about Multigerm! (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #9067: Cats and presidents was tripping me up (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24532: Spice Girls !!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Minerva @ #238: Answer was copy, but didn't accept "copies" (4 years, 9 months ago)

T Seaworthy @ #24516: This is an excellent grid! Really fun and challenging. I bet it's creator is a fiend! (4 years, 9 months ago)

quirly @ #24516: OMG thanks guys (4 years, 9 months ago)

Minerva @ #2296: Fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22007: Good quiz should have accepted cludo characters though ! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22020: ran out of time but got 3 out of four right. It would not accept forms of garlic for fresh, root, raw and roasted??? (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #1708: Very clever, took me a while then it all clicked (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24530: I have a terrible fear of monkeys. That's my excuse for failing to finish this one 😉 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24528: 3pm had me befuddled. Great work. (4 years, 9 months ago)

tom @ #24378: funnily enough if you type 'qudditch' as the answer to group 3 which i did by mistake, you get it right as it contains 'tch'! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24529: Awesome! Had just over a min left so not too bad, but definitely thrown where clearly intended! Good play (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #573: Nice theme, I like it (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24528: Really nice. not a clue about computers! (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #238: all the crossovers were tricky, very good wall (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #685: Really enjoyed this wall! (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #204: Lots of good crossovers, confusing but clever (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24513: fab - loved the fubars and got a buzz when I sussed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jen @ #24525: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #10826: nice, had to think a bit... (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #10845: I liked the double red referring to the song title not the beverage! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Player 1 @ #23312: I put 'synonym for robust' as the fourth line and got it wrong, think you add this in (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24522: Agree - plus animals were only group not in caps, so easy to try. What are the book series? You didn't want to say? - Asking for an illiterate friend (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24518: Had me totally stumped apart from the detectives. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24521: Great fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24522: Prime ministers stand out like a sore thumb (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #24323: not great. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24513: Lovely, delightful. The phrases used for the fubar one were decidedly misleading. It should have been obvious that they were a "word" one, but they somehow had an appearance of an internal logic which made me spend all my timelooking for some spurious connection. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24521: Excellent work as always. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24521: Done with __nache. How could I get them all, including the _pa group, and yet not see the pa_ group? Doh! Still, an excellent grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #274: 10/10, but to be honest I guessed airline codes. Enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #281: Quite easy. the dance I didn't know was the cabbage patch, but guessed it from the others to get a score of 10. Fun. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #24457: Very good. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24500: Groaned inwardly on first seeing this as it looked overly-complicated, but ended up really enjoying it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24516: This is lovely. Scuppered only by tantrum and would have one if I wasn’t so impressed. Well done. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24464: Spacey! I liked it, it was nicely themed without getting too samey. (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #185: good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24431: One of my favourite animals, BinDipper! I always think that they look a bit like Judi Dench? ;) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24519: The clue is cryptic, as he was known as Admiral Nelson and I needed a reference to that rank. The colour refers to the rest of that question. Thanks for your feedback (4 years, 9 months ago)

David Landon Cole @ #24519: Very good, except that Nelson was Vice Admiral of the White (4 years, 9 months ago)

David Landon Cole @ #24520: I only found one group, and missed the berries clue. Good grid :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24486: Thanks so much a, very encouraging :) Many more today, as requested- as I'm still full of disgusting lurgy! Keeping me sane ;) (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24518: Very good, I couldn’t unravel the right detectives or Corrie names. This is high on the sneaky scale and all the better for it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

JohnnyCH @ #24517: Really good grid, took a bit of time to get my head round it, challenging enough to be really satisfying when you finish (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24514: UP THE BLUES!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24516: I'm going to have to up my game.......the standard of fiendishness in peoples grids is definitely on the rise!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24518: Tough one.....good work (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24514: Very good- had to guess "rook". Liked the lit. names! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24516: Really loved the word play. Original and fun. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24519: Goodness me, that made my brain hurt. Fantastic. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24514: Chelsea Clinton slipped my mind, great stuff. I got all the Harolds very quickly though 😀 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #7174: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #7174: Hmmm (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24513: I didn't have a clue! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24512: Completed in time but stumped by Happy Days, don’t know any of those folks. I guessed people who have sung songs in films which almost kinda works for that foursome. Good, taxing grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24492: Fantastic grid. Thank you!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24501: Excellent. The Stalingrad group is a killer distraction and a great category. Happy with 5/10. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24502: Nice. Needed a bit of luck to complete it. Great to see kabaddi mentioned, I haven’t seen it on tv in a lot of years! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24512: just about got there- don't usually go for the "all celebs" grids but I got enough handholds to get interested! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24513: Excellent but suprisingly easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24511: I love the idea of middle age weapons: a really good memory for events of 20 years ago; passive- aggressive sighing; hiding the remote- control... (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24510: Don't waste your time on this one it's a p*sst@ke (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24510: I have no idea what it is you are smoking Mongoose.....but I think you've had enough mate!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24506: Amazing indeed. 4 people complete and review the puzzle within 8 minutes of each other; 3 of those within a minute. But that's not the main issue; the main issue is... "Use the fecking shift key" ya numpty. (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24512: Very good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #24511: Really enjoyed it, thank you!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #2844: scored 10, but should have scored 7. my answer for the 'catch' group was 'dia", as I couldn't see the link, but was accepted as correct... the other groups clicked quickly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #4155: could the agent category maybe also be service? (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #9875: good crossovers, got lucky and solved it quick though (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mongoose @ #24510: Four stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #2297: One of the easier mediums I have played, clever grid though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #3712: Really enjoyed this one, great crossovers (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mongoose @ #24502: I like kites! It made sense to me! Four Stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24495: Ha! yes I used up all my "u" ideas on the last one (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24509: really high quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24499: Good crossovers - enjoyed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24502: Whoops! I missed out the word "polo" so one line makes no sense being there! Ha Ossie! After a few goes of writing puzzgrids, I've learned to leave disclaimers! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24502: Whoops! I missed out the word "polo" so one line makes no sense being there! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #24500: Great Grid, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #24068: Very good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

jonny @ #24506: AMAZING (4 years, 9 months ago)

mathew @ #24506: just great (4 years, 9 months ago)

alex roberts @ #24506: Amazing quiz (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #24506: A master peice (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #24099: Great grid, the shark red herrings got me for a while (4 years, 9 months ago)

David Kinnafick @ #24467: W T F (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #24505: Best quiz yet (4 years, 9 months ago)

noodles @ #24492: This got the ol' brain working! Managed 7, just couldn't for the life of me get the Dic group. Feeling very silly now!! Fab wall though, nice one :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24500: Tom Hanks Producer was very cleaver and I admit, was the one that scuppered me.....good work (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24502: After 25 years of marriage I have learned NEVER to disagree with a woman......as it is a pointless exercise!!!!...8-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #16046: Nice - not hard, not easy. Medium. (4 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #24498: good grid. enjoyed it. Just a minor quibble from a pedants perspective, I would have said 'Italian artists' rather than 'Renaissance painters' for the connection, only because Donatello was a sculptor rather than a painter and Caravaggio is more widely regarded as being part of the Baroque movement. (That's just the Art Historian in me speaking) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24495: Different - not a lot of typing involved with the answers ! - I can't see any crossovers though. Poor old 'U' must feel left out. (4 years, 9 months ago)

cjn102 @ #24500: Really enjoyed that. Not too tricky but a bit different so had to think differently. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24376: 5 stars from me, if only for the work that went in! Dozy made me laugh (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24378: DM- I think you re-define that term yourself perfectly when you go on a little puzzle website to make comments like that. Keep it clean, mate (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24378: Absolutely nothing wrong with this grid but brace yourself for the coming onslaught for mentioning Harry Potter- thanks for taking one for the team!!!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24501: Impressive level of detail. Very hard. Interesting (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24502: The words "said to" are here used as a disclaimer. I make no claims. Feel free to disagree. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24431: Too few, Lorna. Too few. Incidentally, Mij’s death - the most shocking scene in cinema history bar none. (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #24378: i got a perfect score so i loved it haha (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #24413: anagram not allowed for anagrams residence not allowed for residences easy fixes to make this a great easy wall (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #24419: text or text speak should be allowed as 1st category (4 years, 9 months ago)

a @ #24486: I love your quizzes Lorna, keep up the good work (4 years, 9 months ago)

yamhay @ #21177: The connection for the green group has football clubs but I typed soccer. it should include both words for the sport :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #23729: Thanks Daz, I couldn't figure out what "fingers green" was supposed to be. :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #24500: love it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

DH @ #24477: deceptively simple, nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Niall @ #24495: thanks, Lorna (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #8388: fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #22851: I thought donald, ronald etc were donald duck's nephews. ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #21974: only spotted two of the rivers, doh! (4 years, 9 months ago)

The Clown @ #23135: You can always recognise a liar (numpty) when they say it's easy despite an error from the setter meaning the groups aren't easy because of the error. What they mean is they got lucky (as there was no logic to the actual permutations). (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24489: " In English, the term "rollmops" is often treated as the plural of the singular "rollmop. The term "rollmop herrings" is also attested" -Wikipedia. I mean, you're probably right, but how right do you actually have to be? Is there any other sort of Rollmop? Do Vileda make it? Was there confusion? If not, doesn't really affect the grid, does it? Neither was preceded mentioned in my definitions. Just a straightforward types of group. Richard Herring's middle name is Keith. A red herring is a particularly strong kipper. Every day's a school day! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24500: Apologies for the missing letters- this happened post- submission! (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #23207: I liked the "tempest" vs "forbidden planet" red herrings! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24471: Reasonable but Bishops is very niche - I would never have got it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24489: Generally a nice grid, but FYI -- "Rollmop" is not a word. Rollmops is. A Rollmops is a single pickled herring rolled around a gherkin. Several of those are Rollmöpse (and you don't follow it with "herring", that's inherent in the name). (4 years, 9 months ago)

JJ @ #24264: It is not the Dean Forest, it is correctly known as the Forest of Dean. Although many enterprises and attractions in the area are called Dean Forest ..... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24458: I got the oxymorons enough to know that is what you were doing. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24465: yep, hear hear. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24463: good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24487: Apologies for this one. I went back to play it myself and even I couldnt do it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24487: (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24492: And hope you had a good birthday!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #24495: simple but fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24476: good - quite easy. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Larrrs @ #24457: Yawn, the woke generation are here again. It’s just a bit of fun. Wowser. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24492: Good fun - managed 10 in time. Radic was the tricky line for me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #21404: The "only one legitimate" answer rule only applies if groups are interchangeable. Otherwise they are perfectly valid red herrings/ crossovers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

giggsy @ #24492: (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #15242: Agree that cool beans is a phrase not a type, and black cat is a type not a phrase so they aren't interchangeable and the grid works. The Pooh group stood out a mile, hot less so but still easy, but it wasn't a faulty grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24477: Wow, absolutely inspired and totally baffled me- less is more, I was trying to expand the clues, but simplicity is key! Lesson learned and very much appreciated. Cap well and truly doffed! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24492: Happy for you, Kier! Thanks for commenting! Ossie- you haven't lived mate! Best invention ever. More useful than paper underwear. More exciting than hoverboots. More versatile than potato waffles. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wuntchmeat @ #24491: Nicely done! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24492: Oh right....fair enough (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24495: Thought I'd chuck an easy in for a change. Have fun. folks! x (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24492: Spork? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24492: One of the rare instances I got 10 out of 10. I like it when that happens. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Widgeon @ #16106: I feel you can swap "bank" and "safe" in this puzzle, meaning there is more than one perfect solution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24474: No harm in that. I'd be the world's biggest hypocrite if I accused you of obscurity! Hard but not niche, I'd say. Nice to have a few tricky ones in the mix or it gets boring (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23978: good grid why the criticism? Doesn't seem deserved (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24383: Phew- that was a last minute one! Which means I rate it highly as I could get it but after a lot of work, so top quality. (4 years, 9 months ago)

SPA @ #23978: when I was at school we called them 'solids', not 3D polygons! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #24484: Likewise (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24488: I started out thinking this was looking quite straight forward but no! I liked it a lot! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24386: fun, I played around with the kings for a while (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24390: excellent crossovers. Ice Tracy just doesn't have the same ring, does it? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24392: nice but I didn't like the mixture within the finger group- some are proper bone names and some aren't - I can see why but it makes it a bit messy. I like the ideas though (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24419: clever idea (4 years, 9 months ago)

Verr @ #24483: I like. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24428: Nice crossovers (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24431: Errr, how many famous otters are there? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24431: Clap clap clap well said!!!!!!!!!!! Very good grid, the fossils threw me but I LEARNED SOMETHING! My rule of thumb is- if its trying to look clever by being obscure then it's a crap grid. If it's solvable but challenging, whatever the content, it's good. It could be a bunch of teletubbies or flavours of capri- sun, but if they're well hidden, then game on! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24435: How do you deer something? The others are also verbs. Excellent grid with original ideas, very well done (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24473: solid, fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24469: nice but open your parameters a bit eg 'fruit' not just apple, 'uk comedians' (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24437: OOOOOh I really like this. Great mix of group types, quite original. 5 stars, m'dear! (4 years, 9 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #24474: Thanks! I was wondering if it was too obscure! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24438: I really like the thinking behind this, it's really original, right up my street. Could probably do with some expanded explanations, but it's a really good format (4 years, 9 months ago)

jim @ #24484: lovely grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #24476: Very enjoyable. Minor issue: it's mother lode, not load. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24476: apologies I meant to put 5 stars for quality but my mouse moved! Gave you 4 but didn't mean to (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24476: Good quality grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24476: Enjoyable! Very easy! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24473: Enjoyed the grid! 2 things though; Strictly speaking, a monsoon is just "a seasonal shift in the prevailing wind direction" which CAN bring with it heavy rains. Didn't accept triumph for some reason. No matter, I got it right regardless. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24474: Awesome and very hard. I had an inkling of what to look for, but that's as far as I got! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24483: Hi apologies if this is a bit poo as I'm really ill today and had to change my original idea as not one unique answer. Hope you enjoy anyway! (4 years, 9 months ago)

MT @ #24473: Should accept fighters? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24443: hmmm... it works but I've never been keen on celeb only grids- but that's purely a matter of taste as there's nothing wrong with it (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24444: the road group could have had several other endings but it was a good grid, I enjoyed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24450: ah- people so ready to criticise when it's clearly just a typo. Shame, innit? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24456: really well done, you fooled me! (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24476: Enjoyable. Slightly easy. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24458: Ah- classic wordplay from jollycorpse! Excellent grid. I really don't see any problems with the oxymoron group, they work by definition. Things can be both bitter and sweet but they are still opposites (or enough for purpose). And if you're enjoying grief I think there are some specialist websites and services that cater for your type! ;)' (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24477: Brilliant. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24461: Sorry to sound patronising- not intended as you're clearly more clever than me- I'm amazed you're only 15! Incredibly mature style and content. Yes I'm an embarrassing mum to my kids too! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24469: Tricky! I liked it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24473: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24476: Liked it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24465: I enjoyed that, thank you. Spent too long sorting out the moggies... (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24466: impressive level of variety, given the theme. I also was looking for musical clues! (4 years, 9 months ago)

LatinLover @ #24472: Neat one, thanks. I think that it’s Cantuar rather than Cantaur and usually Dunelm rather than Dunhelm (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24469: easy but well made (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24457: Really a terrible and quite offensive grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #23925: Great board, but because the football supporters were all plurals it made it easy to spot. (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #23927: Excellent work. Tough but fair, wouldn't be out of place on the actual show. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24461: To be honest, 4 is more than I normally score on a Puzzgrid wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24473: Nice varied grid, but seemed a little easy ( might be me having a good day ! ). Did'nt see the Triumph link but it accepted"cars". No celebs or Harry Potter which is a bonus (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24472: Very good (4 years, 9 months ago)

cameron @ #24458: Point Break was directed by Katheryn Bigelow, not James Cameron (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #24465: Had fun with that grid, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

srw @ #24450: I think you mean leaf, not leave (4 years, 9 months ago)

bobbert @ #7852: nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bearcules @ #24473: Ironically, I didn't get the Triumph link... (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24469: Not my finest performance. Wasted time hunting for boating terms then footballers 😬 Good mix and execution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

bobbert @ #7852: nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24466: lol, sneaky and entertaining. I was sure Green Day, Maroon 5, etc were hiding somewhere… Also failed where Billy Bones did. Good job! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24458: @Puzzled - I struggled finding “true” examples that sound normal today (Epicurean pessimist? No thanks). I guess these fall under the wider, looser comical umbrella. I apologise for unintentionally misleading you. Hopefully other puzzlers will get the gist, various keywords are accepted here. Thanks for the feedback as ever. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24465: Very clever. (4 years, 9 months ago)

MT @ #24458: " Night of the Proms"?? There is a Last Night of the Proms but not just Night of the as far as I know?? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pasha @ #14763: Good crossovers! Had me stumped on a few of them. Appreciate the thoroughness of the supplied answers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

MT @ #24463: Oooh, I put "spin offs" not sequels, I reckon VCM would have given that (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24466: Ashamed to say I didn't get the group containing purple. D'oh! Excellent grid, shows that it can be done even sticking with one theme. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pasha @ #14766: Nice grid. The crossovers were good and the har- connection got me. Also enjoyed the spread of different styles of connections. Quite fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pasha @ #15868: Nice, quick, and fun. Tripped up the first time with the U.S. presidents/Georges category. Nicely herring'd. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pasha @ #15242: Seconding the punctuation for "Schroedinger's". Can't speak to having ever seen "cool beans" for sale at the grocer's, so I don't think that's as much of a contender for the category of "beans what you eat" as I'm seeing suggested in the comments. A nice quick wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24461: Excellent. Really enjoyed the grid even though only scored 4! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24457: Yeeeaaahh you suck. Couldn't think of *any other* curtain and had to go straight for the misogynist terminology. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24458: 3 of 4 in the oxymoron group aren't oxymorons. There's nothing oxymoronic about a combination of bitter and sweet. Nothing about grief implies "bad" per se (not that that's what the expression means, but that's what is implied by calling it an oxymoron), and "acting" and "naturally" are not contradictory either. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #18030: Perfect medium grid! Plenty of rabbit holes to fall down, but still easy enough to resolve quickly. Unfortunate that it didn't accept clergy, but I'll mentally give myself the point :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24443: You got me with the Osman group! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24458: Excellent, really enjoyed this one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24457: Toxic masculinity right here (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #24457: Pig (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #10128: I love this one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ahay @ #24465: Clever and fun to solve. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Susana @ #20633: Excellent grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24461: Thank you, Jollycorpse. It's very good to see our top Puzzgrid contributor return after a bit of hiatus. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #24428: Relatively easy. Clergy group was impossible to select without solving the other rows first which made it interesting. Also interestingly, Clergy not accepted as an answer???? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Teflonboy @ #24457: Got stuck on the Beef curtains (as always) good stuff! (4 years, 9 months ago)

pablo @ #24391: great, but "rock" should have been an ok prompt for the prog rock bands (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24461: In which case, a very happy birthday to you. Thanks for all the grids, past and future… :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24458: Very good,as always ☺ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sam R @ #24462: Cunning wall! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24461: Just to let you know, there’s a message hidden in some of the clues that spells out - Keir's 15th Birthday Today. Yep, that was the whole point of the wall. An esoteric grid with no red herrings that’s completely obsolete unless you read the comments. Happy birthday to me, I suppose. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24458: @ Samaritan - he was executive producer not director, you’re right, thanks. I accept film/movie in general for this one, shouldn’t be any points lost. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Samaridan @ #24458: Good grid, but there was a mistake in the James Cameron group. Kathryn Bigelow directed point Point Break (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eric @ #21404: @Jack, no it shouldn’t. The objective of this game is to find 4 sets of matching clues. If the sets don’t overlap then there’s no challenge. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24457: NASTY sexist language. IDIOT. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24449: dude were you drunk when you ''made'' this grid? (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24447: ''companies that make coats''?? Clothing companies/brands, surely.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24439: Shouldn't need to input synonyms ''for each other'' because that's what a synonym IS (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24438: That is too confusing (4 years, 9 months ago)

kohnnie @ #24457: Beef curtain??? Otherwise quite a nice grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24457: nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24456: Excellent grid. I failed miserably in the 3mins. Slender group not quite as good as the others imo but still v enjoyable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24435: Deer and bat can be swapped? (4 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #24457: Beef Curtain...nice.... (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24454: Nicely done. Bros and 911 are blasts from the past :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #24439: Thanks Thomaths. I managed to get to the bottom of that one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24433: Thanks for the grid PakFan. Not going to use the "It's obscure" critique because everything is obscure if you don't know about it - but it definitely doesn't make it over the Atlantic too well. Some puzzles do; some don't. :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ron @ #24437: No answers (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #24450: Female groups did for me completely. Decent grid and don't mind the slight typo :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24450: The singular of Leaves is Leaf. Leave has a completely different meaning. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24450: You got me with Horse. Never heard of them.Impressively niche! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24450: Ah. It appears I omitted an ‘s’ when submitting the grid. Thanks for the kind feedback, player. (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #24168: Excellent work. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24451: What is a quarterback? (4 years, 9 months ago)

player @ #24450: Leave? are you serious? get a dictionary. (4 years, 9 months ago)

M @ #24439: Ha ha made me laugh! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24446: If only it were possible to give minus stars (4 years, 9 months ago)

GG @ #24443: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

GG @ #24446: What is this all about?? Get off this site (4 years, 9 months ago)

GG @ #24448: What?????? (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24441: Good quality, varied grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

adam @ #24444: agree with comment below (4 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #24444: A pika is not a rodent, it's a lagomorph, same group as rabbits. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24431: *It's* (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24431: Yep. Or nope. Depends if you're a paleontologist, or you enjoy French film making, or the hits of Elton John, or whether you have a clue where the South Pole is. You see - if we just keep rotating Harry Potter characters, Celebrity Big Brother contestants, American states and Douglas Adams stuff, we end up with one feck off dull site, and we also contribute to the collective idiocy that is the UK at the moment. So excuse me if I mix it up with Crossroads characters, awful puns on bands from the 1960s, Luc Besson films and famous otters, but that's the score. It'd what you get. Judge a grid, not by what you know, but for the grids itself. Is there a unique solution? Are there sufficient red herrings to add challenge? Do all clues begin with a capital letter? Is everything spelt correctly? Has the compiler gone to the effort of trying to cover all key words in answers? You know - key stuff. Amen. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #21933: Good quiz the gun clues almost got me! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #21934: Got them all, but ran out of time. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #21943: Good grid Spotted the doc's and the NY states pretty PDQ. (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #24209: Good grid, minor issue that king and emperor are completely interchangeable in their groups, so there more than one solution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #18032: Loved this, especially Hofstadter (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #18042: Excellent red herrings with the charities (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24430: Impossible. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Coldonia @ #24427: Potato not accepted for potatoes group (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24438: Nice attempt, but stifling the fun a bit by trying too hard. As an example, the Bacchus/Ninja Turtle group does not need the first part at all to work (also the Don McLean Hit does not fit the pattern) -- just Ninja Turtle, Citroën model, P. Bridge and anything named after a last name would be a fantastic group. Same problem with the other groups. All this doubling up achieves is to make it harder to get your answer just right so it's accepted, which (despite all automated protestations) is part of a satisfying grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

The Clown @ #24061: Re Dinning - noisy eater? (4 years, 9 months ago)

ravenxylo @ #24268: Mr turnip, while they all are colors, they are more specifically all red. If I listed New York, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Albany, they are all technically American cities but are more specifically cities in the state of New York. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24427: Different! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24419: I groaned when I first saw that it was all acronyms, but actually came to enjoy it! Thanks, Emma (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24385: Ossie just doesn't get it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24442: Now what's a word for words ending in the same sound again? (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #24433: Agree, totally obscure. Even after looking it up I have absoutely no idea what the BIG 10 CONFERENCE is or even that they are schools. (4 years, 9 months ago)

K @ #24439: Bum round gave me a laugh. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Gerry @ #24433: Totally obscure and niche. (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #10577: Enjoyable but leaning more towards easy I think, 29 secs ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mysteriousgirl @ #24439: Nice bum round.... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Thomaths @ #24437: Banging (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24431: Couple of obscure groups (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24413: good crossovers (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24384: Interesting to see that actually all four of the Eleanor group are also names that appear in Beatles songs - if not titles ("... but everyone knew her as Nancy") (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24419: Don't normally like acronyms but this was easy although it did't like 'text sayings' (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24388: nothing to add that has not been said below (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24427: Good starter (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24415: Too much random guessing required to be enjoyable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24390: Fun, scored 7/10 but had to work hard. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24386: Was probably immune to most.of the herrings, as have.never.seen the film. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24420: Seriously... I live in Sussex and had only heard of 2 of those (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24430: Hmmm I thought... famous Marathons? No. Famous orchestras? Nope. European caps- no. Largest cities in us States but not actually- nope. Hosted the Oly- nope. Scored 0/ 10 despite suspecting the Vienna And Berlin groups. Think I'll just give up in advance next time and save myself the 3 1/2 minutes (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzz @ #24419: Very good but channel and slang should be added to allowed answers (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24421: Comprehensively did for me (4 years, 9 months ago)

Samaridan @ #17277: Fun grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #20713: What Jefco said! Stop whining about what it accepts. If you got it right, well done! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #20297: That's right, mal! It's a country, like it says in the answers. "City" isn't mentioned anywhere. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #24282: I've said it before - I even said it the answers on this grid - but if you got it right (and Britpop IS right) don't whinge that you were marked wrong. Your scores are not recorded anywhere and YOU know you were right. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Future knight @ #13843: Nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24417: Enjoyed that. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24418: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24419: Loved it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24420: Nope, too hard for me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24419: Fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24421: I suppose Bullseye counts but a bit tenuous. Nice grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24421: Good grid. I knew Chasing Rainbows, and I spotted your Red Herring there too! Probably a bit niche in places but I enjoyed it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24434: Not THAT easy. I didn't get the synchronised group. (4 years, 9 months ago)

watler clements @ #10577: i just guzzled so much cum omg (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24385: Ummmm.... yes Former Nige. My mistake. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eric @ #13152: @frustrated - because there’s a t in flinTstones. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24420: Sorry, my fault. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #24419: Very enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fring @ #24420: Unbelievable it didn't accept "Joy Division". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eric @ #8618: I spent ages looking for a “run” connection. This grid has nose, eye, bank, legs, mouth, and course. I was sure it’d be there! (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #24278: Are there many things that can't follow the word big? (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24419: should accept ''internet slang'' as an answer but pretty good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24427: Very nice, easy but fun, thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24418: Good work. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24419: Very good! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Montysprogs @ #24393: Was completely befuddled by Zappa. I saw Moon Unit and obviously thought of him but the rest are so obscure. Napkins?! Brilliant work! (4 years, 9 months ago)

nomorenigel @ #24385: surely it is Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tig @ #24417: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tig @ #24418: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #24418: Interesting (4 years, 9 months ago)

Angstony @ #17903: Not bad, but I feel it would have been better to avoid 'Queen' as one of the items in the 'Queen's titles' category. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24413: Really liked this one, didn't get the basement line, so scored 7. (4 years, 9 months ago)

The Clown @ #24265: I agree with Puzzled but each to their own. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jfk @ #3712: Didn't know plummer, so ran out of time sorting them and the 'park' ones, then got pulp fiction but still couldn't get park. Genuinely South Park on in the background. Fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #497: Super Brad: Spock in this case is the famous pediatrician, Dr. Benjamin Spock. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24417: Ok but the fish group's a bit fishy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #598: Maiden over? That's gone over my head... (4 years, 9 months ago)

QuizzyRach @ #24418: Good quiz! Can tell you like maths! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #8403: Cha-cha-cha (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #2957: Quality wall (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24391: Nice and easy. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #24393: Lander group is not really a specific group. Bit random (4 years, 9 months ago)

Buzzfeed @ #24378: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24398: Two groups don't work (4 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #24392: Wouldn't accept pop groups (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #16004: Really fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24394: I still don't get it. Beetroot, lettuce? Is it Baby Lettuce, meaning small lettuce? But that is not a phrase that anyone every uses. Neither is Baby Beetroot. "Things that can be brown" is one of the loosest connections I've ever seen. "Things that go in a salad" is pretty weak too. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #24364: Boris Johnson and Game of Thrones! Bah (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24395: Ade? Edmundson? Well, you would say that wouldn't you? Seriously though, I agree with Pip1. I liked the beds though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #24395: Clever (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24396: World cup Footballs? Huh? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #10899: Best one of these I’ve done. Well done! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dot @ #24334: Agree with all the others! Good grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dot @ #24333: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Buzzfeed @ #24388: Words that sound the same or have similar spellings are called homonyms. This would be an acceptable answer on 'Only Connect'. A homophone would not be accepted. It means words that are pronounced the same but have different meanings, whereas 'air' and 'hair', for example, are pronounced differently, so I disagree with Nighteyes. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Buzzfeed @ #24389: Also agree with Mike comments (4 years, 9 months ago)

Buzzfeed @ #24389: Bermuda, Hawaii, New Zealand and Fiji are all islands. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Buzzfeed @ #24391: Good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24395: Likewise. Still, Timothy and Queen were good groups (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24398: Good grid! No idea about the Spaceman group, but I grew up with the Clash, so I got the Sandin one quite quickly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24398: Scored 1, not a clue. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mark T @ #24392: The wrist is not a bone it is a joint. Similar mistake for finger. (4 years, 9 months ago)

taildragger221 @ #24392: Good grid, slightly let down by the restrictive checking of the “bands” category. The system can match on single words, or even parts of single words, so there’s no need to have “music” as a required part of the answer. (4 years, 9 months ago)

a @ #24398: connecting walls only come in 2s (4 years, 9 months ago)

Niall @ #24386: Good to have a grid with so many double ups (4 years, 9 months ago)

Niall @ #24389: Same guesses I made, Mike. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Niall @ #24394: Put in 'beer' - incorrect Put in 'baby' - incorrect (4 years, 9 months ago)

John Tuomey @ #15862: My son Daniel loved this... though he didn't get them all! (4 years, 9 months ago)

John Tuomey @ #15862: My son Daniel loved this... though he didn't get them all! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Coneyloops @ #10711: Best one yet. Didn't figure out the theme til we finished! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dominic murphy @ #24378: Tch was cuntish (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #10405: 4/10 ... Arghhhh ... All connections so obvious as I was clicking away but could I manage to find a single group ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #2621: Failed miserably with 2/10 ... LOL (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24385: Good luck with Rent Boys...I had the PC brigade all over me like a rash for referring to pulling a bird!!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24395: Contains 2 TV programmes I've hardly seen - for couch potatoes only (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #10577: It's Ok - not sure why it's no.1 best grid - easy to get 10/10 (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24392: Not bad but needing to specify ''music'' bands ( as opposed to what, elastic ones?) is unnecessary (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24391: very good! nice crossovers, categories were different than most. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #24389: All the flags ones are islands and all of the arrested ones are synonyms for caught. These need to be added to correct answers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24385: Phew, done with 10 seconds to spare. Good grid - not sure about the fight group though... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24393: What Pip1 said! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24391: Maybe 'Bands' should be Ok instead of needing Prog Rock bands Apart from that it was good -that was the only point I missed (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24378: tch group was weak, not bad otherwise (4 years, 9 months ago)

Angstony @ #14141: Mexico is NOT in Central America, but North America. Poor show. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24379: Too many acronyms for me (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24394: Good grief...I was genuinely sitting here thinking "lettuce baby?" and "beetroot baby? Then the penny dropped!!! Cunning grid!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24378: Ok grid - missed out on Quidditch with only one 'd ' (4 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #24393: Drat! Wrote "US States". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip1 @ #24393: Quite good - struggled with Zappa (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bob a Job @ #24388: It seems that Conner and Nighteyes prefer grids to be very easy - homophones was not used because they were 'similar' not the 'same' (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #10405: Difficult but enjoyed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #13152: Very easy. Like one of those occasionally. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #15868: I found this easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

mgush5 @ #24389: The group with Fiji etc, are ll islands too, on Only Connect that would likely be accepted (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #9687: Takes some thought, but very doable (4 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #24385: Seems so, good grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #15242: Some were testing (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #3757: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24391: Good grid 10/10. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #2748: Found some of this v difficult (4 years, 9 months ago)

MrWeeble @ #6833: @Joe carbUNCLE optiMUM jackSON gAUNTlet (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24392: Hear hear Chris! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #9875: Good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #1396: Good fun. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ProfPatPending @ #24393: The answer 'Lunar' should also be allowed. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #2296: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24378: enjoyed apart from tch group. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #10577: Found it difficult. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Megan @ #24361: Forest was spelt wrong (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #24361: Good fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #24366: Tough (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #24391: Grid was good, I was pants ! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dave Muir @ #24393: Good grid. Mmm yes, well done. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Abuali @ #519: Kilo should be lower case k as a metric prefix (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dave Muir @ #24330: You are a clever clogs! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blondie @ #10089: Bark for Bach? Don't think so. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24391: Good, intelligent grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24392: Intelligent, well constructed grid. ( no celebs or Harry Potter, well done ) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24388: I'm with Conner. You may be thinking of Scarborough fair, but they are herbs and we're not telepathic. Air sounds like heir. Hare sounds like hair. The two sets are NOT homophones. And by the way, "homophones" should be an acceptable answer to that group. (4 years, 9 months ago)

MT @ #24292: Swann! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #24361: Sorry but this was pointlessly easy. Took me 34 seconds. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Conner @ #24380: I'm a football fan, still impossible. Very bad. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24384: Enjoyable grid, good stuff (4 years, 9 months ago)

MrWeeble @ #24382: Saviour's is misspelt as Savoirs which is a french word meaning knowledges, so had me heading down the wrong route entirely (4 years, 9 months ago)

Conner @ #24388: The 'words that sound similar' one is ridiculous, and even more ridiculous somehow is the herbs one that you don't accept as an answer, oh dear. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mawk @ #24373: Not "president"? Not "Cockney"? I feel cheated! Otherwise good. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24382: Yes, the carol group is a reasonable idea (though that particular one tends to be more of a US favourite), but it makes things really tricky when it is spelled incorrectly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24386: That's a bit spooky. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24385: Well there's a coincidence eh, Aetees? (#24386) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tippy @ #24382: Wasted a bit of time because I ignored "Savoirs" for the Carol group! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tippy @ #24384: Don't usually go for ones with only names but it was an enjoyable grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Celeste @ #24359: Easy but fun, thanks. Like the explanations! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #24373: Flatulence needs to be accepted as that's the correct word, not fart (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24383: Nice. The only otter I had heard of was Tarka, so that was a bit tricky. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24384: Nice. The obvious group to spot first (and thus get some options out of the way) is the Beatles group. But with 7 options, there are 35 combinations, so that takes a long time. The use of Chandler in the body-parts group was also nice, because one is almost forced to try to find "Friends" connections. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24383: Tricky, clever grid. A change from "celebs" and "Harry Potter" (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #1396: Nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #6833: Nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #6140: Nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #2748: Nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #583: Nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24383: Cheers Puzz. I usually try to start from that; pick something different and work out from there. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #24378: Nice. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bert @ #10577: Nice. (4 years, 9 months ago)

MT @ #24345: Trees :-( (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #24379: Excellent grid with some tricky crossovers. Good balance across different areas of knowledge. I liked it although I struggled slightly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tim @ #24375: I saw the crossroad connection first Amy Turtle (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24241: I enjoyed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24255: Incorrect for disc jockey group (4 years, 9 months ago)

Si @ #24373: Flatulence should be accepted as well as fart as that is the correct terminology. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24384: Very nice. Plenty of red herrings. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Laaaaars @ #24378: Nintendo is definitely general knowledge. The -tch group, i agree, was pretty weak. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24383: Very nice! Especially the Tarka group -- truly original (esp. compared to "rooms/characters/weapons in Clue", "Harry Potter characters" or "football teams/managers/players." (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #21749: Does seem a bit extreme. 300 million people dismissed at a stroke (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24382: Did you mean Saviour's? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Chico @ #16564: Perhaps fat/high in fat would be a more appropriate link than junk (4 years, 9 months ago)

Kevin @ #21370: Great puzzle, one small thing i would change is not mention that the whiskeys sound like stars in the comment, it might tip off people to the other category (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24382: Great, had me chasing all kinds of shadows... (4 years, 9 months ago)

SpursManDan @ #24375: Crossroads! (4 years, 9 months ago)

#24262 @ #24262: #24262 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Martin @ #24380: Great for football fans but very hard - so many possible links (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24379: A cat is not a siege weapon. It is used like a whip to flagellate. It has multiple straps and generated the idiom: no room to swing a cat. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Stalag 17 @ #24369: Sorry you didn't enjoy it but there may be some movie fans out there who might like it. Each to their own. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24380: 0, know nothing about football... Boring for me, but the football obsessed will love it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23050: Yay for Watership Down!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24378: Harry Potter has been done to death for me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Vixen @ #24375: I missed the Crossroads connection too. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Parnell @ #23839: Muslin isn't exactly a term in tailoring or sewing. It's a material used as a lining, a base layer over which another material can be sewn or upholstered, or which can used to make a sort of test garment to check fit. It doesn't really work here because a stitch, a lapel and a dart are all parts of a finished garment that you could point to, whereas muslin is rarely a visible part of a finished garment. Stitch, lapel and dart are also all things that a tailor or seamstress might make in the process of sewing, but they would never "make" muslin. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Marshalsea @ #24356: Fun one, thanks. The Clink is now the name of a chain of great restaurants run from prisons by prisoners! (4 years, 9 months ago)

GreenTea @ #24323: The Cat playing piece was introduced in 2013 replacing the Iron marker. The category should have been more accurately labelled ‘current’ Monopoly playing pieces/markers - will tighten up on this point for future efforts! (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24376: Yep, Dozy was a stretch but Day____ is a real word. The phrase was the only way I could get Tich in the grid because of the spelling. He was very inconsiderate. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24376: Fiendish! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24379: Loved the idea of airport codes and being able to hide them among acronyms! Rest a bit too obscure for me though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

a @ #24369: that was just "do you know which actors played stuff", far too specialised (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24376: I did spend a lot of time trying to make Dave Dee etc work - a nice pseudo-red herring. However, I think Dozy and Day mares are a bit loose. The phrase is nice, but does not really work as a grid. It is sequential. Without knowing which words contain it and in which order, there is no way anyone could possibly spot this. I did spot Berlin, and then looked for other buried cities, to no avail. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24377: Apart from the memory group, this is just ludicrously obscure. Writing a hard grid is easy - just fill it with completely obscure stuff. A GOOD, hard grid, on the other hand should be one where, after they have finished, the player says to himself, "yes- I should have seen that". I also echo the comments re memory and island: those ought to be enough, without the preceding dash. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24376: Day Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Muick and Tich and only 3 stars? Get away with ya. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24378: Me neither. I don't think Nintendo comes under the heading of General Knowledge, and the tch group is pretty weak. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24379: Ridiculously obscure. The least obscure set was the medieval weapons, and even there, the cat is pretty obscure. It also does not go well with the others as they are all personal weapons, and the cat is a siege weapon. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #21707: Did not accept "fibres", which they are. (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #8618: Enjoyed it but leaning more towards medium I think. Found it fairly straight forward. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #21737: Really fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #21749: We aren't ALL bad, Glyn Parry Davies. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kay @ #21092: Pence was nice--but for a USA grid, orc does not sounds like auk and stalk does not sound like stork! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mcb @ #24323: sure ladybeige there is no cat (4 years, 9 months ago)

PIgeonfancier @ #24329: The school subjects could have contained any of the five languages – making it guesswork rather than logic, you could have got away with it if you had made it Russian, the most improbable to be taught in school. But you included Russian as a European language – which is isn't. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kpnuts @ #24377: _______________ditto (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24361: Was it Forrest because of one of the team names on the current series of Only Connect? :P (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #8769: Enjoyed that, managed to get body parts but wasn't allowed otherwise good ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24294: Fantastic stuff. Didn't quite get full marks, but I probably should have. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24373: Fun and easy - terms for matching solutions could be expanded a bit, though, as I was cheated down to 7/10 instead of 10/10. Cheers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24375: Same as Bruce for me. Couple of the connections a bit easy I suppose. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24378: Didn't like it, sorry, but others might. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22220: OMG I actually got all of theses !!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dizzy Di @ #22238: Got the groups OK but missed the connection on the last OK grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

JohnnyCH @ #24373: Love the red herrings, easy enough to complete, difficult enough to require a few guesses. (4 years, 9 months ago)

anon @ #24377: it was very difficult, should accept memory and island without the "__" (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bruce Wayne @ #24375: Great grid, missed the crossroads connection, great grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

J flesh @ #282: Cool grid.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

C @ #24366: Good wall. Thank you (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24371: In addition to the problems already mentioned, "Carol" is the third word in the title, not the second. (4 years, 9 months ago)

C @ #24377: I got two correct...and yes... memory and island should be good enough (instead of ___island, etc. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kay @ #21516: REALLY nice categories, especially the Camore group and 1024 Megs group! (4 years, 9 months ago)

J flesh @ #24377: Hard one, I got 1 correct , but the answer was too specific.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

J flesh @ #24377: Hard one, I got 1 correct , but the answer was too specific.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nobby Nobcakes @ #24375: Central Television (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24371: Thanks for the grid Dyl. Not having initial capital letters throughout messes it up a bit - gives a group away. Manfried the Man? Man Friday? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Phill99 @ #24361: Sorry about spelling and definitions - done quickly just before New years eve pub crawl (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24319: That's correct Toferino. 'The Magic Key' was the title of just one story, though the key was used in many others. By the time that book comes into the scheme (Level 5) all the characters are well established. No reason to name it specifically but hey, it's New Year, knock yourself out and award yourself a bonus point. :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Broken Biscuits @ #18: Ahead is not an adverb. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Broken Biscuits @ #24373: Brilliant puzzle! Recommend for all ages, humourous and just fun! Definitely play this puzzle!:) (4 years, 9 months ago)

MickandJay @ #24345: 'Trees' not accepted. Boo. Boo. (4 years, 9 months ago)

MickandJay @ #24361: 'Sporting equipment' not permitted. Not very good sport, methinks! (4 years, 9 months ago)

James @ #10577: Thank you! (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24361: "Forest" (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24372: Some extremely obscure references. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24361: Forest. (4 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #24345: I have to say, they are definitely also trees. That one probably needs to be fixed. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bongo @ #24366: bad (4 years, 9 months ago)

Catherine @ #24361: Good fun and nice overlaps! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24372: a-punk is the full title, not the first word (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24371: Man FRIDAY, did you mean? (4 years, 9 months ago)

C @ #24330: I had to google exactly the same two things. Very obscure. (4 years, 9 months ago)

DaddyCaptain @ #24361: Good grid. Nice red herrings. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24361: easy but good apart from 'forrest' (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24350: You gotta sort your categories out! Alto etc are vocal ranges not ''music'' (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24349: ''characters''?? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #24366: Thanks for a good grid. Made the wall with a minute to spare, and had to think hard for the link in the final row (the row with ‘tube’ in it) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #24359: Caught the Flack, good one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #24365: It almost worked and it's the thought that counts. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Trixie @ #24361: Forrest is misspelt (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24346: Everyone's allowed a mistake now and then folks!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24365: Ah.....well that didn't work did it!! Happy New Year gang!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sharon @ #24326: I wouldn't describe sediment as litter. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sharon @ #24361: Should be forest, not forrest! Confused me for a while. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24333: Night eyes. Good point! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #24323: Monopoly has a dog marker, not a cat marker. (4 years, 9 months ago)

MC @ #24361: enjoyed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #24346: Christobal - it is a fundamental requirement of a valid grid to have only one possible solution. Also according to https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/cowhouse cowhouse is an English word with the obvious definition. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #24296: Surely dingo is in the dog family, pretty obvious to which group it should go. Some nice red herrings, especially the non-existent ocean group. Apart from the dingo issue, a nice grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24352: good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #24319: Wouldn't accept Magic Key for the books group?!?!?!?!? (4 years, 9 months ago)

barry @ #7639: enjoyed (4 years, 9 months ago)

barry @ #6833: enjoyed (4 years, 9 months ago)

barry @ #8355: difficult (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24326: Sediment and Shawshank categories were both obvious. Couldn't solve the last 2 though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24334: Good grid. First time I've heard fascia in that context too! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24352: Yes, it's a shame you can't edit it. Good grid, did it in 2.18, so not too easy but not impossible! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24346: Eagleeyes: "Cow house"? Really? Cowshed maybe. No I think it's a good valid grid (although Dog and Boat could be interchanged. Boathouse / Dog-and-bone = phone!) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Helen @ #24329: types of pastries is too specific as an answer (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24333: It is iose, but note that the first letter of all the words is capitalised. In this font, a capital I looks like a lower case l. However, if it really had been an L it would look different as a capital. Therefore, if you spot that all the first letters are capitals, you can see that this is an I not an L. So, very, very sneaky, but fair. Overall, an excellent grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24334: Tough but fair. I'd not previously encountered that use of fascia. (4 years, 9 months ago)

SonjaQoE @ #24343: Hvem faen er Bodil? Ellers super vegg! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24336: This is an excellent grid. Country anagrams are overused, but there are good ones. The mark was a German currency. The clue does not say "current". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blondie @ #24193: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blondie @ #24329: I agree with JoeCool. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blondie @ #24345: Oops,my bottom line began with Gum! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #24346: Unfortunately the solution is not unique - dog and cow can be swapped to make an equally valid solution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24336: Personally I think the lack of "former" to the German currency added to the difficulty of the grid and the need for some lateral thinking..both of which are within keeping of the spirit of the "game"......but that is just my opinion! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24345: Oh hang on.......sorry NZ MY BAD! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24345: Oops I meant leaf not tree. NZ..indeed their are Oak Leaves but as far as I know Oak is neither a syrup a type of window or a character from Greek mythology so the grid works fine. (4 years, 9 months ago)

x @ #24329: You're only allowed 2 wrong guesses, which makes it impossible to try all the combinations.Bad. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blondie @ #24345: Bottom line too ambiguous (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24345: Knew they were Trees and Syrups but as I have no idea what, who, where or when five of the words were or are I was stumped. Good work (4 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #24336: hmm (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24346: Aaaaagh...worked out three of the groups and STILL didn't solve it in time.......cunning work Sir or Madam..well done (4 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #24346: Nice wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24352: Apologies for the comma after Mirror...it was a typing error but hopefully not too misleading!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24346: Good wall. Nice red herrings. I was distracted for a while into thinking there was a Gold group but could not find the 3rd member. (4 years, 9 months ago)

tpin @ #24346: Loved the quiz, some unusual connections. Thought a few of the cockney terms were a little obscure, but overall thought all the crossovers made it a great quiz. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24099: Good grid, scored 7/10 after stupidly guessing Golden for the Ball/Globe group, when that only actually fit two of the clues. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #24336: Unorthodox grid, well, apart from the anagrams of countries which is one of the most overused connections on this website. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24345: Oak etc is also a tree, that's where the leaves come from :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24334: Some nice crossovers there (4 years, 9 months ago)

GR @ #24318: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24333: Should lose actually be iose? Then it would make sense to me (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dodo @ #23209: Interesting, although hard to express the connections, especially for red (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dodo @ #23630: I put "beating" and you said incorrect for "heavy defeat". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Iiiiii @ #24309: Hardware store?? Category too broad (4 years, 9 months ago)

Kat @ #24261: Animals with an extra letter? Oh come on!! What's next? 'Words that are spelt wrong'? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Kat @ #24279: You're screwed unless you're a major football geek (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24336: The German currency is the Euro and has been for nigh on two decades. At least add "former". (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24324: a year isn't a measurement of distance (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24309: easy but fun, though u may have meant bluebeard? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dodo @ #24021: What is BBT? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dodo @ #24264: The Ai could be better. I said sun, brown etc was "bear" and it said incorrect! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24300: decent grid but very poor answers (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24290: you've posted the same grid three times (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24288: FAR too much info required for the answers. Countries of the world? As opposed to where? (4 years, 9 months ago)

JBK @ #24329: JoeCool: Apologies for that. I didn't realize I had written that before I submitted the grid. There appears to be no way to edit or delete the grid now either. Eddie and JonBob: That was the idea. I wanted people to try each and every combination. Red herrings and whatnot. I get where you're coming from and how it could be confusing, however. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24326: Nice, though the films category is a bit loose - most probably did start out as books in one way or another... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eddie @ #24329: There is a problem with the school subjects and European languages categories, because there are five languages altogether and any one of them could have been a school subject. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24330: Well, now I know what pinworms are. Interesting. I hope I never have first hand experience. However, I suspect I could go through my entire life without ever using my new-found knowledge of gauging stations. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JoeCool @ #24329: Pastries is wrong??? Has to be "Types of pastries". Annoying to say the least. Otherwise nice. I liked "aftermath" mainly because I didn't want "math" to be an academic subject. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Kohnnie @ #9271: Didn't like the bets ... and Midsomer Murders link was obscure to say the least (4 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #24329: A fine easy grid, except German was definitely a school subject for me... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #6833: I don't understand the "family" category (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24318: I thought it might be....BUGGER!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24318: Nice grid. Took 1 min 3secs. Chukka was the giveaway! Thanks, OssieP9 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mol @ #24296: Dingo not a wolf (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mol @ #7761: I know of Whit Sunday (Whitsun) but have never heard of Whit Monday (4 years, 9 months ago)

D @ #24300: be Specific with your descriptions (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24312: @Nighteyes -- golden duck is a cricket term. The animal that laid golden eggs in the fairytale was a goose, not a duck. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24327: Nice grid but Pol doesn't work, it would need to be Po (4 years, 9 months ago)

kay @ #21632: Very nice! Take 5 was a good red herring. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23948: The types of confinement are synonyms and the cities all have foods named after them - chicken Kiev/Roma, beef Wellington, Brussels sprouts. (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24305: so sneaky (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #24267: Nice grid, thank you! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #24268: Nice grid... thank you! Would “colours” work for red group too? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #45: Not necessarily music-orientated. It could be any sound. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #19: Us older types recognise jezebel as a synonym. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #14: I believe the film was "Snow White and the seven DWARFS". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #13: Agree that "flowers" should be acceptable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #24290: Sometimes it’s the easy ones which have you stumped... would World Cup qualifiers work for red group also? Thanks for grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #6: Tenuous GBS quotations? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #24256: Nice grid, thank you! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24301: I thought that one was alright, actually. I did get the First group... first, so that knocked out enough red herrings to narrow the rest down. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #24282: The purple group was a real sucker... “britpop” not accepted for red.?Fun grid though thank you! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24296: A dingo is definitely NOT a wolf. A dingo is what escaped dogs reverted to after many generations of natural selection. The phrase "Dingo wolf" is meaningless. (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #204: Enjoyed this one, but leaning more towards medium I think. A Toucan crossing is one that allows bicycles to cross as well. There is one outside our local Asda ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24301: Christobal & OSSIEP9 - yes and no. Obviously, most good groups have red herrings. But I think that a perfect grid gives hints as to which combination is most likely - so if you are smart, you don't have to do as much random clicking. For example, if the other islands had been, say, Caribbean, and you knew that, then your knowledge would save you time. This is, after all, meant to be a test of general knowledge too - not just the ability to spot connections. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24305: Billy - not sure about the specialist knowledge, I think you have to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of 1960's films, Ariana Grande songs, and indie bands. After getting the "flies" group, I spent half my time clicking on all the "obvious" dragons, and wondering why it did not work. I spent the rest clicking on all the "obvious" rings and still failing. Very, very sneaky. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24309: I seem to have dyslexic fingers... Balckbeard -> Blackbeard. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24309: Beard? Surely you don't mean Balckbeard? If so, Beard was NOT his surname, it was Teach, which you've already got. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24318: Very nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24318: Yes - it seems fair to me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24312: Very similar to your previous one, on which I got 10. This time I got 1! Why that was so easy and this was so tough, I have no idea. One minor quibble though - Golden Duck? Are we talking about the duck that laid the golden eggs here? If so, the duck itself was not golden. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sue @ #24279: I have absolutely no interest in football but still managed to find 2 groups. There's nothing wrong with themed walls. Remember it's only a game PUZZLED. If you don't like the content then try a different wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24305: Very clever! And doesn't rely on too much specialist knowledge, so everyone has half a chance :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

T2453 @ #24292: Swann spelled incorrectly (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24318: To clarify the "fair" group...I mean they are all words that follow fair to make a fairly common comment.....apologies for any confusion but so long as someone puts fair they will get the points so no harm done....I hope!!?? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24204: Yeah that gift group was a corker! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24301: Well said Christobal! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24314: 10/10 with 1:35 left, so I'd say fairly easy. Fun though, because all the animals initially makes it look impossible. Thanks. Apart from the actual animals group, the others all had a nice mix of types. Good grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24312: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24305: Ooh those red herrings!! Grrr! Got obsessed with Komodo being a dragon link! Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24301: Duh! Jack, that's the whole point of red herrings! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #14944: One tiny quibble: It's Friday XIII, as in "Friday the Thirteenth" . Nice grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #685: Like it. Tested the ageing brain cells with 18 seconds to spare. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24301: Badly designed. The groups should be more specific as Tuvalu is a polynesian island so it shouldn't be a case of clicking every combo until you find whatever combination the creator deemed, without any wit or reason so it can be rationally determined. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24300: nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24301: nice one, got the canopy one, but gave the answer as types of tent (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #20296: Ragman, google it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24295: Oooooooh..nor sure format works as a "type" of mat but still a good grid....just think the wording of the answers are a bit iffy. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24273: 39 seconds! 😊 Good grid, but your connection keywords are too precise. I was marked wrong for the Thatcher and Lincoln ones, but I had them right. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24285: Good groups. Too hard for me though (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24295: Ooooooh.... Don't like the Stereo category. Stereo is a sound "format" not a device. (In the same way that a transistor is *not* a radio) Likewise, an amp(lifier) produces no sound without at least one of the other 2 connected. Liked the other groups though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24282: Nice mix of categories. George one was sneaky and it beat me! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24301: Tough one........I worked out two of the groups but not the correct four for each group in time but I would never have got the canopy one.....good work (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mikey @ #24283: Didn't accept the Beckham children, and the golf/snooker/tennis/bowling group didn't accept ball. Very easy and not very good. Sorry (4 years, 9 months ago)

Trev @ #10624: All synonyms for prostitute (4 years, 9 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #24286: Not 'anchor'. You need an anchor when you DON'T have a jetty or wharf to tie off to. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #24273: rid was fine and I finished it, but then got a message saying that I had run out of time. (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24292: Back of the net Christobal!..😉 (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24296: Like the Parlophone and Bed groups with the fake group mixed in. Slight issue with dingo - doesn’t belong in that group I believe. Many thanks :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #98: Good grid, enjoyed it ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jonas @ #23147: 10/10 with 1.32 left (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24300: Good grid. 2.15 to complete (4 years, 9 months ago)

A name @ #24299: Lots of red herrings - a good challenge (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24283: Nice easy grid - but please.... that Romeo link has been done to death. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24292: Cheeseman gave it away for me, but I expect that'll be a difficult one for those who don't know him! Good grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24296: Got the Virgin one and the Pizza one quickly, after that it fell into place. Good grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24290: Don't worry about getting the links right, guys. The score is not recorded anywhere and YOU know whether you were right or not. Little Jim: in the links, if you had put "countr" it would have accepted country and countries. Good grid, although the Chile group connection was a bit weak. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jr @ #24283: no (4 years, 9 months ago)

kay @ #22933: Group with Titan was nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eddie @ #24270: I knew the Gogglebox one! And the names Krista mentioned are from "Homes under the Hammer". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne @ #24283: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #24290: Pathetic. All my answers were right but showed up as incorrect. (4 years, 9 months ago)

stonerose @ #24290: didnt accept any group descriptions even though they were right.... (4 years, 9 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #10577: straightforward (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24294: Good grid. Nice n easy too! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #24294: Good grid. Nice n easy too! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24269: I think this is just a slightly more sophisticated troll than ones we have seen before. If you are looking at the comments before doing this, don't bother, it is just a wind-up. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24294: Nice to see fresh categories in a medium grid, thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24290: Makes no sense to want "country" not "countries", but "walls" not "wall". Otherwise a good grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24270: In the Venn diagram of TV watchers, I wonder if there is much overlap between watchers of "Only Connect" and "Gogglebox". If forced to guess, I'd go for NO. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24271: The hail group should recognise "synonyms for get a lift". Other than that, a fair grid - if you're a Will Smith fan. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24276: It accepted Beethoven and comedians for me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24278: Fairly straightforward, but surprisingly difficult to spot the groups for some reason. Good wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24280: Good, standard grid. Nothing too taxing, but a nice mix, with a few red herrings. Thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

streets585 @ #24269: Too clever for it's own good by half. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JoeCool @ #5924: I had no clue but the grid generously gave me 3 points for 3 wrong answers. Thanks! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24286: Thank you fro introducing me to the concept of a court's well. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JoeCool @ #19303: Yes it's "Mainwaring". And I tried "Never appear" and was judged to be wrong. That would have given me a well-deserved 1/10. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24290: Also, "wall" was marker incorrect. Presumably it was looking for "walls". You need to be a bit more flexible. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24294: A nice easy one to start the day with. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24286: nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne @ #24292: (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24292: With due apologies to our American chums who probably had no hance with the Cricket reference!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24275: On the positive side, the groups do work. But if you have access to this site, then you also have access to spelling tools. Use them! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24286: Hard to find the right description for the "Wharf" group. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24290: Ah, going by Geraint's comment, you wanted "country", not "countries". I did put "country" but I would have knocked a point off the quality score if I'd realised that. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24290: Countries for third group was marked as incorrect. Countries of the world was the correct answer...where were my countries from then? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24283: Very straightforward (4 years, 9 months ago)

DH @ #24214: Quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #2917: Good good easy wall (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bobalob @ #24275: Is it possible to rate a grid minus stars? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24279: I'm starting to wish there was a "specialized knowledge" category to quarantine/ignore grids like this, for those of us who won't enjoy a one-note grid on a mastermind level of topic detail. Nobody without a granular interest in football would go beyond "these are all stadia", and it's just no fun to repeat the same thing for an entire grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

PATV @ #24255: Hi, I created the wall, I haven't used this website before now, but I'm basically using it to host two walls for a full OC game I've made for Xmas. I didn't really consider thinking about the TOTP group having any further connections, so I'd accept both Radio 1 and Radio 2 as answers, however I'd say 'DJ's' alone would be a bit vague. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24257: Excellent, had never realised how many musical Micks there are before! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24276: Your required answers are FAR too complex ( didn't accept films, comedians OR Beethoven) (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24275: pointless, stupid waste. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24264: Didnt accept bears OR forests (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24261: i like that (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24260: sympathy and tired are not emotions (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24256: the 'black' category doesn't really work. nice otherwise (4 years, 9 months ago)

TheVoidTLMB @ #24271: Tough, but good. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Noir LeSable @ #24269: I think I've got the "Lwocbbcs" connection -- they're children's TV programmes on CBBC. Hero Squad, Operation Ouch!, Officially Amazing, and (of course) Blue Peter. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #24270: Didn't know gogglebox doesn't bother me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24278: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24264: But I put Xmas.OK I didn`t put songs. But I put BEARS too! You didn`t fill in your `linking terms` very well Jack! Solved in a wink though, should be in `easy` grade. There`s def. an old song call Step into Xmas `Puzzled-is that what you mean? By Elton John. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24269: Agreed Keith. Spoils things. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24270: If I put Martin, Dion, Martel and Lucy would anyone know it? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Roburt @ #24275: Four stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Roburt @ #24200: Four stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bridges @ #10981: We liked this. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Roburt @ #24199: Four stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tomtit @ #9214: Bloody excellent (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tomtit @ #9214: Bloody excellent (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24269: Diogo etc are all footballers at Wolves. I have no idea what Lwocbbcs mean. Stupid solution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24270: I put “verbs of going”. (4 years, 9 months ago)

joe90 @ #24272: Excellent grid. good red herring with frost in the German category. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24273: Nice varied grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24273: I enjoyed this one, thank-you. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #19515: Amazing grid. So many traps and sneaky overlaps. I needed two attempts to finish, was still floundering after 3mins. Very well done, an excellent contribution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Loyola @ #24272: It is also just colours. Also, the German category is let down by having one that is the same in English. Interesting but flawed. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ned @ #24265: Fun grid but easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ned @ #24265: Puzzled, don't be an arsehole. There are plenty of grids on specific subject like sport or football, or music etc. If you did badly that's because it's not your area of knowledge, no need to be hostile (4 years, 9 months ago)

kay @ #3225: Same as Ry: entering ! was not accepted, and neither was 8. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24256: Well done, plenty of red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24272: I like the addition of German words! Reservoir Dogs caught me out. I thought it was just colours. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kay @ #16106: The reason I only do the grids marked as "USA" is to get away from soccer and cricket. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24270: ok (4 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #24268: Kept trying to make (f)ringing, (a)toll, and (ri)sing into something about bells. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #23456: those materials aren't only used for roads, "ground" should be accepted (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24261: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24271: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24270: (4 years, 9 months ago)

DoubleUp @ #24216: Thanks for the feedback. As for the 'incorrect' definitions - it is hard to think of everything that people might think of for the definitions, I added as many as I could think of but apologies for the ones I missed. Feel free to give yourselves the point anyway :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #24269: Rubbish - no reasons given in answers (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24263: Learnt some new words here! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24268: Great! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24268: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #24270: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fuffa @ #24269: Mike - the Diogo group are the first names of players of a particular football team. No idea what the group names mean though (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24269: what a load of old vikkixja! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24259: Just because a word is in a diminutive form, that doesn't mean it translates as "cute". Spaghetti are small or little strings, not cute ones. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #24269: Apart from the walls, all the descriptions are gibberish. There are Lwocbbcs, Cconect, and Fnows It be interesting to know what connects Diogo, Adama, Raul and Ivan. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jorisbohnson @ #24269: Very interesting I never knew there was an Antonine wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #23752: obscure, but solvable! cute! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #23842: 2 many sports (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24264: TIL there's a song called Step Christmas into... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #23936: pokemon ftw (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24265: No. Just no. Don't base a whole grid on one TV/book series. And if you must (which you shouldn't do here), at least explain your groups. The Moat group is utterly meaningless to me, for example. Are those locations? I won't ever know because you didn't bother to write it in the solution. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #24117: well done, TIL pachyderms (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #24254: you need to lighten up jay (4 years, 9 months ago)

Berchins @ #24260: Too broad of a category, emotions does not cover it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bongo @ #24248: inane (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #24261: Your Mary category should be more specific. Otherwise it just makes it boring clicking through every combination of Marys. Generally poor grid design. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Trev @ #190: Lenny Henry , Eric Morecambe, Dick Emery, Tommy Cooper (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24256: Excellent, thanks. Same themes throughout, but enjoyed it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24260: 'Tired' isn't an emotion (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dugald @ #3757: What's a barberry??? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Big Les @ #24183: Not gonna argue with mufasa on what he says about lion noises. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24214: Ruby is the new chocolate kid on the block. I bought it for last xmas and it’s nice and fruity. Perhaps not worth the £ for regular munching but hey. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jack @ #24216: I put type of living accommodation and it said wrong?? (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #24259: tricky tricky davey (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jay @ #24254: Inappropriate to use sexuality of actors (4 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #230: bit of a dodgy distinction between pe equipment and gym equipment. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bridges @ #5633: Nae bad Billy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bridges @ #2093: Jolly splendid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bridges @ #17376: C'mon the Johns! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bridges @ #598: Very niche answer for the 'baffled' question. (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18445: sweet work bro (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bridges @ #22007: Good Christmas fun. You could have included a heron. (4 years, 9 months ago)

noodles @ #24258: Love this! Really nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24200: Ran out of time, largely because I spent nearly all the quiz reading the clue as Sofa :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Steven Burdin @ #24255: Radio 2 DJ's at present and all former Radio 1 DJ's too, Janice Long, Gary Davies, Steve Wright and Tony Blackburn (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18428: @Mrshj I think the pluraled state capitals was to create red herrings ie St Pauls as a cathedral and Augustas as a roman emperor with Caesar (yes I know it's spelt wrong but you never know who's playing these haha). What about Il Duomo? It's only a game! (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18418: orange or pink? hm well i'll be damned. But I loved the musicals! Ciao (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18415: first! (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18413: i did see the an group! i feel accomplished like one day i will take on ms coren mitchell (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18410: tomato tomato who am i to say?! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24252: Shiny Happy is the wrong way round in the grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #18407: good job! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24229: Dance and bounce have two meanings, both synonymous of moving in a lively way, and mince can mean to walk a dainty way. I’d say those definitions are synonymous of skip. Also, what do you mean Incredibles again? Was there another wall entailing this group that I was unaware of? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sad man @ #24252: Nah, it's a quizzers' question. Quizzers should know their Actons because it comes up as the place with the greatest number of stations named after it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24255: Good grid. Assumed DJ's would be correct (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24257: very good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24229: No, those words are NOT all synonyms for skip. "Ways of moving", yes. Skip, no. Other than that, Crack & Pot seem a tad obscure, but fair enough. Incredibles, again? Seems a bit niche to me, but reasonable I suppose. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24239: Alex is right. It is not just being picky, because in some cases, what appears to be a misspelled item is actually deliberate, and is intended to provide a clue to some other meaning. So getting the details right is always important. So, streets should be Street, Daisys ->Daisies, wal->wall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24240: Surely, impromptu does not fit with the others in its group? A serenade, mass, or oratorio are all specific types of music, but impromptu can be any type, so long as it is extemporaneous. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24243: Technically, you could swap Dumbledor with any of the male characters from the potter series, because they are all "wizards". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24246: Sorry, I meant "Robbie". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24246: Ribbie - because there was no Elastiman. Elastigirl was in the film The Incredibles, apparently. I've not seen that film or heard of -Parachute or -Handcuffs, so I scraped a mere 6. Still, a fair grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #24257: Really enjoyed this grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24255: Haven't the TOTP presenters also all been DJs at some point? I've never watched TOTP or listened to any DJ's (they don't have them on Radio 4), so I'm not sure. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sad man @ #24248: I confess I was rather drunk and have spent years actively working on forgetting that Gervais exists. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24248: David Brent is a fictional character played by comedian Ricky Gervais (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24248: Brent is not a comedian - he is a character played by a comedian - so this group does not work. Otherwise pretty good. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24252: I got 10/10 here, but I put "station" as the answer to the Acton group. To actually get it right, one might have to live in or near Acton I think. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24248: Nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Niall @ #24239: Or ordinals, Mg. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Niall @ #24241: Moana not a princess. She says do in the movie. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24239: Shame about the spelling! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24241: Good solid easy one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24250: Not a fan. Four connections on the same subject and to be honest a couple of the connections are quite weak. It would be better to use either the Owen group or the Hewitt group, maybe with just the surnames, and mix it in with groups on other subjects. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jimmy @ #15868: There were red herrings, to the previous commentors. Washington, Bush and Harrison were former presidents. Washington is also a city. It's well constructed, but too easy. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jimmy @ #15242: Very good but very easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

KSAG @ #10577: (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24214: Well apart from the chocolate group which did me anyway as I have never heard of Ruby Chocolaye that completely stumped me....good work! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24241: The T in Tsunami most definitely is not silent unless you mispronounce it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24240: Nice work (4 years, 9 months ago)

RobbieC @ #24246: Row 3 seemed like ...man but came up as incorrect (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24242: The 'names' one was nonsensical (4 years, 9 months ago)

Raphael @ #24155: Good red herrings. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ridge @ #24241: Nice grid, Merry Christmas (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24239: nice but a little easy. Thanks anyway. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Guy Griffiths @ #24231: Good challenge (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #24241: As basic as it gets, no red herrings and a few broad categories, this wall was definitely lacking in substance. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Conor @ #24238: This is the best thing that has ever happened to me (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24214: Really tricky grid - but good. I spotted Virginia, but I'd never heard of Plain (I hate Roxy Music). Ditto with Ruby. Still, thanks for alerting me to a new type of chocolate (I AM a big fan of that!). How could I have missed it? Minor quibble - all the "o" group have the o as the 2nd letter, except one. It is still a valid group, but it forms a misleading pattern that does not actually exist. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mg @ #24188: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mg @ #24188: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24216: Just to be picky, you need to include "types of accommodation" in the Caravan group. Still, good group. For those who enjoy really good word puzzles, try here: https://christmaspuzzle.uk/#content (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mg @ #24239: Nice, but it didn't accept numbers! But thanks for posting!☺ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24215: I always struggle with the "things you can...", and "all the same value of a property (like shape)" categories, so I struggled with the catch and round groups. Therefore I'd say it deserves a Hard rating. Still a good grid though. Merry Christmas one and all. By the way... if anyone likes really good word-based puzzles, try this: https://christmaspuzzle.uk/ Enjoy! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24217: I liked the 16 group, and the temperatures - though I don't think I've ever encountered Rankine in real life. The cards group is technically OK, but it does not feel quite fair somehow. I was caught out by the binary in the 16 group (I had been looking for hex), so I only scraped a 5. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24218: 6 options for colours and also 6 for film styles gives 15 options for each, which is a lot to try in the time - too many for my clumsy fingers! Nevertheless, it was a good grid, though I'm not sure about the phrase horror show. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jimmy @ #6833: Maybe I'm just salty that I don't know the Famous 5 or Fab 4 (why not Fantastic 4?) but having the Jackson 5 as a red herring in there was pretty ruthless. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jimmy @ #2748: Not too hard, but well put together. (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #114: this was great i will be your friend (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pitt @ #24217: The temperature answers could also be chemicals elements, potassium, fluorine, carbon and radium (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24188: good quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

harriet @ #24230: jeepers this was a tricky one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mark @ #24213: Nice job buddy (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24216: not bad (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #787: By coincidence I'm doing this in Christmas Day - loved it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sam @ #4165: Merry Christmas! Perhaps Santa'll buy you some RED HERRINGS since you love them so much ;) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sam @ #184: Not much overlap but some decent categories Thanks for a FUN time! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #8387: Really fun grid! Great theme. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24218: Didn’t solve the last group but a good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24216: Incorrect for first group with “places to live.” (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24203: Isn't it gentlemen? Quite a nice grid, that. very Christmassy! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24207: Agree mal- its in the onion family, alium, but not an onion. Good grid otherwise, though! Guessed the Joni from 2 clues after getting 2 groups so niche-yness wasn't problematic. x (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24209: Only took a few secs as I predicted the Macaroni red herring but I did used to work with penguins! Difficulty relies on that one herring, I think, but it's a great starting point for a grid. As to poor spelling- if you struggle with your name, should you be running a country??????? ;) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24213: Agreed, marvellous (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24214: woolf did exactly as intended! 2nd attempt was the charm. Best red herring to date! Merry Christmas (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24215: 19 secs so more of an easy I'd say! well mixed though x (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24216: pi gave it away. I think it fits- if the grid works, it's a fit? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24217: Scraped 4 and proud! Very well done. Binary was a guess! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24218: very good merry Christmas! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24218: Nice red herrings! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Smithers @ #24216: I also put dwellings and it said incorrect x (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24192: Fire doesn't really work in its group (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24194: Makes no sense for ponds to be plural (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24200: Very clever (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24204: Particularly liked the gift group (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24207: I don't know my onions or Joni Mitchell songs, so found it a bit niche. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24209: The points Nighteyes made are the only things letting this grid down (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24213: Sneaky - loved the Nickelback group (4 years, 9 months ago)

giggsy @ #24210: York group a bit broad - but fun overall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

giggsy @ #24216: Nice and easy - 3.14 is cute but doesn't really fit in that group (4 years, 9 months ago)

giggsy @ #24217: 4? Bit daft unless I am missing something. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24216: nice, but open your answer parameters up please ( ie it didnt take dwellings) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24199: Certainly! SPOILER ALERT- Bulb + e= Buble Buble+ b= bubble bubble + r= blubber babble= red herring Thanks again for commenting/ regular support and advice, much appreciated folks! x (4 years, 9 months ago)

G @ #24100: Very good (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24215: Nice grid, a good mix of categories (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wolfclub @ #24211: I really liked the groups but you should add explanations for the groups, I'm still not sure what connects the last group other than them all being north african countries! (4 years, 9 months ago)

angry @ #24032: how the friiick do you not count pokemon in a group of only pokemon? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tribble @ #24217: Tricky! The binary clue stumped me (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24207: Doesn't quite work ( several answers could be in several categories, leek is related to onions but isn't a 'type') etc (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24213: Excellent grid with plenty of rabbit holes (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tribble @ #24204: Those pesky reindeer! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tribble @ #24215: Nice grid thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24203: nicely done, enough crossovers to make you think but not so many it comes down to luck (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24200: nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24203: Took a while to get going but 10/10 in the end. Nice and festive, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

JorisBonhnso @ #24209: Thanks Nighteyes, apologies about the spelling though, it's not my strong point even when I double check them 🙈 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24206: What a weird thing to do. Why would anybody troll this site? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24187: Hard but fair. Yaris was a superb red-herring. In fact, that whole group was a cracker. Speaking of which - Merry Christmas! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24199: Lorna - would you expand on the logic of the bulb group please? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24204: I scored a pathetic 3 on this, but its a fair cop - the grid was a good-un. I particularly liked the present group, especially the "Here!" one. Note: your explanation is missing the "id" off the end of Cupid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24209: Good grid. Couple of minor points: Caspian is misspelled. The Tsar group should, but does not, accept "rulers" as a connection. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24188: Excellent, sneaky. (4 years, 9 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #24124: Thankyou :) I'm sure there is a connection between the meanings of ken there, yes. (4 years, 9 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #24126: Thankyou all! @Billy - I was sort of expecting those to be the last group people got. Some of the tanks there are quite famous. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24204: Great grid! The Blitz group was very clever, enjoyed that :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24207: I don't know my onions. b'dum tish :( (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #1942: Took a bit of time , but was good (4 years, 9 months ago)

tomaline @ #24206: Fairly straight forward and reasons not fully expanded (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pigaligaling @ #24206: Best grid I've ever seen in my life and so hard (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hiss snake @ #24206: 5stars (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jamesy boy @ #24206: Sensational grid I absololutely loved it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hiss snake @ #24206: 5stars (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jimmybob @ #24206: Fantastic (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hiss snake @ #24206: 5stars (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pigaligaling @ #24206: Best grid I've ever seen in my life and so hard (4 years, 9 months ago)

Rear @ #24206: Tricky wick wicky (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pod @ #1875: Hi guys. Thanks for all the comments! Only remembered I made this recently so fun to read through these. Thank you for having my back "A dickhead" 😂 (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24200: Great! Enjoyed that one :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24199: Haha! Haver up threw me! Was convinced it was part of the Wake Up group. Very good Lorna :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24194: Didn't know the Skelton clue! Nice broad set of connections though :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24189: Nice grid. With time I would have done better! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24178: Great grid. I got 10/10 but was really pleased with that! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #1396: I enjoyed it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24137: Quite easy but very enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #24172: I enjoyed it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint @ #21601: Agree with zodiac comment (4 years, 9 months ago)

Magic Man Megatron @ #24097: Actually Lorna , it's a derivative of Mangoose! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24193: The San group are also just Spanish given names. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24188: good, threw me (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24191: Govinda threw me, kept putting it in the one group! got the bush mills group only! (4 years, 9 months ago)

ThaggieMatcher @ #24181: Not bad... (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24168: really liked this one, clever use of skirt and hidden words (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24172: I liked the wordplay (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24170: Agh! Didn't do too well but should have done 1 or 2 better! Very challenging :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Anne @ #23797: Misspelled Ottawa (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24185: Excellent, I love geography grids :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

gem @ #10577: great (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24181: A good, fair grid, despite the fact I scraped a mere 4. Thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Simba @ #24183: It seems that all the clues were connected...in the great circle of life. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24183: No problem with the baked goods or sticks. None of the wave group gained anything from the second word. I think the clues for the egyptian group could have been better. All told though, I do like this style. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24173: Liked this one much more. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24174: I've never heard of it either. Getting really sick of gladiators now too. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24172: I'll second that. Even I could get the F1 and I'm not a fan! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24181: Yay been a while since I got 10/10 on a hard grid, thanks! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mufasa @ #24183: I'd argue a lion roars rather than ras. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24182: Wow I thought I knew the Simpsons, but nope! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mufasa @ #24183: I'd argue a lion roars rather than ras. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pothead @ #24183: Very tricky. Egyptian one really stumped us. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24177: Got crisps easily, so the lurkers group stood out as the only plurals left even though I didn't have a clue what they were. The other two groups were good with red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24178: Excellent, didn't even spot the drawer link (4 years, 9 months ago)

Yes @ #24182: Who knew there was so much to know about the simpsons (4 years, 9 months ago)

Waylon @ #24182: Great work, sir. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24175: silly/fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

FigelNarage @ #24180: I agree, Nigel! Excellent quizzing. (4 years, 9 months ago)

FigelNarage @ #24181: You are no match for me, Joris. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24172: easy but fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24153: easy but fun and well put together (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nigel @ #24180: Well done Nigel, great puzzle! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nigel @ #24173: You are a pickle. That was NOT very festive. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24147: i both love and detest this equally lol!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24084: No problem! Rag'n'Bone man song gives you Human; Embarrassing bodies, TV show, Body Shop, Beach Body gives you body; Crazy Frog- really annoying animated character had a song out basically making moped noises vocally and sped up. Hope it wasn't too frustrating- i'm aiming for interesting and different- I don't like obscure or niche so apologies if near impossible, I'm still finding my feet. Really appreciate all the detailed feedback as I'm learning how to build these! xx (4 years, 9 months ago)

johnarlie @ #7018: this was a toughie (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24123: merry christmas mummy love from Erin xx (4 years, 9 months ago)

Brainbox @ #17624: Completed in 27 seconds, easy. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24174: Tricky but very good. Never heard of Sapphire and co. but others no doubt will (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24160: Yep. Not my usual style but a bit of a fan grid, just for fun, just for the like minded. Variety selection boxes coming up! Thanks for commenting x ps if you like Rik and haven't seen Believe Nothing, I highly recommend! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Karen @ #21012: Beast fut bun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #24178: Excellent grid, thanks! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24176: Very clever especially meo. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24176: Very clever especially meo. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24164: Great red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #19924: Really liked this one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24139: Too obscure (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24127: Really enjoyable. Thank you (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24054: Another Piranha. Loved the hose group. (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24083: In the process of entering the present group when time ran out, so only got 5. Bear Grylls group was very hard. (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24084: Tough - I only got 1. Liked the hidden cheeses. I spent ages trying to figure out what would make an etalon duff - low Q maybe? Some expanded explanations would be nice, esp beach shop and Rag'n'Bone. What frog? Kermit? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24153: Excellent, especially the Fenty group, didn't spot it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #24124: James Paul McCartney (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24114: That was a bit like Doug & Dinsdale Piranha - hard but fair. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Delahay @ #2748: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Delahay @ #583: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24138: Correct spelling is Quetzalcoatl (4 years, 9 months ago)

Delahay @ #10577: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24139: This is not quizzy - it is, for the most part at least, just very obscure. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24160: Ran out of time! Some of my favourites there :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24120: That's certainly fiendish. I managed to scrape 2 points. Not keen on the north and south groups. I'd only heard of 3 of them, and I expect most people would not do much better. Then there is the fact that there are so many things which it could be the northern or southern limit of. I'd be surprised if anyone ever got 10 on this one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24149: Outstanding! Brilliant grid! Convinced myself that Boyz 2 Men was there :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24123: Yep. I should have googled it before being a clever clogs! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #24149: A great idea! If the groups were a little tighter (say, songs by the same artist) I think it would be perfect. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24153: Excellent grid, Gridlington. Really enjoyable. I couldn’t separate Tawny from Fenty in the end but had a blast trying to do so. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #12591: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #24149: Great! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #24148: Muscovado (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24152: Excellent! Though I would have said hard, rather than fiendish. I got 10 with 57s left. I used to know four definitions of the word Fell. Now I know five. I think I last encountered radicle when I was doing O-level biology, a looonnnngggg time ago. Other than that, everything was pretty obvious. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24153: nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24149: Good concept but... is that really an ant? Ditto the mountain and the tiger... (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24153: Nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24154: Good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24155: Intelligent well thought out grid. No celebs or Harry Potter !!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24153: Nice easy one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24154: Not bad. Figured out the groups fairly easily just from things that looked like they would go together, but was stumped on three of the connections! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24155: Well-crafted with good crossover clues. I spotted Crumpet straightaway, it’s a group in my notebook awaiting use. Better cross it out now :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #24160: All somewhat in the same area, needs more variety! (4 years, 9 months ago)

A @ #24143: (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24159: Phew, talk about fiendish! Three attempts because I was making progress but just too tricky. I sussed 3 of the categories but couldn’t decipher any full groups in time. I need a nap now…! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #24149: Good fun and a nice change. Played it cast on a TV which helped. (4 years, 9 months ago)

NIghteyes @ #24123: Actually, it used to be Ed, so either is OK. Thank you for educating me. Now I know about scary worms, dough balls, French Santa, and the full name of the Bottom bloke. I also heard for the first time of that particular duck, though I plan to forget that again as soon as possible. All in all, this deserves its fiendish ranking. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #24153: Plenty red herrings, without any actual herring. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24160: I think its a bit too niche, I'm a fan of Blackadder but other than the last episode I doubt I could remember any of the names. (4 years, 9 months ago)

tgdubs @ #15274: 17seconds woo (4 years, 9 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22238: Good quiz. I put male relatives of the queen for the prince clue and was given incorrect. (4 years, 9 months ago)

steve t @ #24149: Great fun. Only got 3/10 but really enjoyed this grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daz @ #24140: GOODISH, BUT FAR TOO MANY RED HERRINGS.... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Trishie @ #24073: Very enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

Trishie @ #24073: Very enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24141: The allergy group tricked me! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24132: that one was a glass tower- couldn't even get a first grip. Learned a lot though! 5 stars :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24124: wow, fascinating grid! I wonder if the etymology of the Scottish comes from the "sight of shore" one? Really enjoyed (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24114: Phew! Just in! Didn't know the Quills group, but that was a good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24160: If you're into this sort of thing, enjoy! If not, apologies! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24133: Wow, brilliant! Had a second go and still didn't quite manage it but thoroughly enjoyable, top quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24139: Let down by my lack of knowledge, This is a real quizzy one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24159: One more sleep! Woooohooo!!!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24054: I think this one IS pretty difficult, Lorna. I’ve just given it a try and I struggled :-)) (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24059: Ex bookie for my sins, Zin. No research required. Cheers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #24059: Thanks Lorna. I suspect that Donald and Boris would also be about to fall off a cliff, if they had a cliff to begin with. And don’t start me on Cliff. (4 years, 9 months ago)

magicdan69 @ #24062: Didnt allow anagrams (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #1110: Nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #19275: Lovely one , very well done , enjoyed xx (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #77: Hitchcock way too difficult (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #2127: Very nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #24148: 5/10 without much knowledge of the bases covered. It's more satisfying (and, I think, always the case on OC) if a linking term consistently attaches either at the front or at the end, rather than a mixture. Thanks for the wall! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #24153: Nice medium grid, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24141: Kicking myself re the peanut group, i ran out of lives but it’s so obvious after the fact. Nicely done! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24152: Ha ha! I tricksed yoo with my speeling! thanks for the feedback, much appreciated from a pro! :) Merry Christmas (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24082: quite good that (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24104: I think the order gets randomised when you submit .Great grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24126: Wouldn't call it medium, tanks were especially hard?? (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24152: Struggled with this but happy with 4pts. Was questioning your awful spelling of ‘radical’ to begin with lol (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24131: Argh I was determined to get Blue Hawaiian in the cocktail group, that was evil ;-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #24127: Great grid (and not just because i got them all right). Nice cross overs but not too obscure. Thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24123: Thanks! Have a great Crispmuss, from poor spelling corner!!! :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24137: 2 hard 2 easy for me (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23816: Didn't accept shellfish or goose! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24138: not one to read out loud! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24140: i think I must have been lucky (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24141: really hard but top quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24144: I can't lay an egg! Blummin good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24138: Fiendish! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24149: Really, really wish there was a higher option for quality, although I did struggle to see them I massively enjoyed seeing something so novel. You never fail to surprise, keep it up! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jjojo#2 @ #24129: Bit specialist in terms of knowledge required. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24140: So frustrating ha ha ha, but well made (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24141: Good red herrings, I went off on lots of tangents like square and tooth (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24144: Excellent :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24149: Yeah, I tested it privately first and it displayed ok on my iPhone but unlikely to be compatible across all platforms/devices. Sorry to those with issues. More novelty than quality for sure. (4 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #24149: Some of the emoji don't render on my screen - just rectangles. Nice idea, but they are a bit small to see properly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #24149: Loved it. Bit small to see some of them on my screen but nice idea to do something visual. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24140: This is excellent. It’s apparent what the groups are right away but getting the right combo isn’t quite as straightforward. Well done and thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #24149: Well done, Different. Missed the fly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24144: Very enjoyable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24135: The hamlet group made me kick myself! Sign of a good grid :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24137: Nice easy one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24136: Got the groups early but ran out of time! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24123: Edd the duck. Merry Xmas from pedants’ corner :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24115: Got them with some good guesswork! (4 years, 9 months ago)

jw578 @ #24062: Who doesn't remember Bad Moms? (4 years, 9 months ago)

tgdubs @ #10172: 21 seconds wooo, fun one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24108: Excellent grid. Nice red herrings. I got 10 in 1:09, so I'd say the level was not too difficult. I'm looking forward to your future efforts. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24115: The first ladies and capitals groups were fine. iCarly seems a bit niche. As for Ryan, Williams and Wie, I guess it depends on your definition of "famous". (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24112: Superb grid. I solved it with 1:24 to spare, but when I first looked there seemed to be no obvious connections. Once I spotted "pawn", the rest fell in short order. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24118: Excellent grid. I thought the messengers group was inspired, though perhaps the use of both Hermes and Mercury, i.e. the same entity, may be a tad lazy? Perhaps Melinda might have worked? (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24137: Fairly easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24136: Quite a good grid, though onyx is a bit misleading, since it is actually banded, rather than just black. And Gladiators? Again? Isn't it time they were retired? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24135: really good. Wasn't sure if ham counts as a cut, but the grid is definitely gettable, even if I didn't! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24128: Good grid - though the need for a specialist interest in golf diminishes it a bit. When a new item is added to the stock market, isn't that referred to as a "flotation" rather than a "float"? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24136: lovely grid full marks :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wendy @ #24125: Superhard!!! But good (4 years, 9 months ago)

PluckyDip @ #24118: @asylumrunner I did add 'candy' as an option for our American puzzlers, not sure why it didn't work for you. I've checked it and it works for me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #2208: Valve? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #24134: When will I learn to put an s on my answers (4 years, 9 months ago)

Terry @ #24113: Agree about reindeer. Missing letters should have the same number. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #24135: Liked the meeting group (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24117: Entertaining grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24126: Nicely done (4 years, 9 months ago)

Olivia @ #24132: I loved it (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24126: good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24127: enjoyed this ta (4 years, 9 months ago)

n @ #24127: I'm pretty sure Gabriel and Michael can be swapped in their respective groups, so this group doesn't have a unique solution (4 years, 9 months ago)

pete @ #24127: hard. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #24126: The space shuttles/star trek misdirect was clever. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #4165: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Kenty @ #20560: Absolute nonsense (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24122: woo! just got it. That makes it good in my book 'cos it wasn't obvious but it was gettable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ridge @ #24118: good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24094: quite easy but I really loved the style of the not uncommon group! fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24097: BTW Mongoose is a pretty gender neutral name? Sad little man? Possibly not... (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24097: Got the Chris Cornell straight away EXCELLENT TASTE! (haters gonna hate)- poor taste in numbers?!!!! HA! I am a big Maiden fan but I wouldn't have stretched from 3 to a fact about the plane, equally the Miley Cyrus thing? C'mon! but otherwise a bit of fun this morning thanks! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24112: top quality- worth a 6! My kind of grid, I love a bit of originality. novel subject matter and extremely well put together, you're one of the top setters (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #6140: Nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24118: too ready to throw insults! I agree with Puzzled. Go by the flag, it's part of the challenge Very nice grid, especially connecting things with apparent disparity (Hedwig group) well done (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #10577: Nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #184: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jesse Letourneau @ #24113: The Santa's Reindeer group is a little weak. You don't add the same suffix or even the same number of letters. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24117: Very nice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24118: @asylumrunner, it's not obnoxious, the grid is clearly marked as British, so expect British phrasing and references. "Candy" is an American term. (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24118: I enjoyed this grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

asylumrunner @ #24118: A bit obnoxious it doesn't take 'candy', but still good! A fun challenge (4 years, 9 months ago)

magicdan69 @ #24104: The santur: (Persian: سنتور‎, is a hammered dulcimer of Iranian or Mesopotamian origins. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ben Howard @ #24116: pretty hard, but really cool (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #24106: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #24106: Cool (4 years, 9 months ago)

Athos @ #24109: Nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

asylumrunner @ #17760: I liked this a lot! (4 years, 9 months ago)

frustrated @ #13152: How was "flinstones characters" not correct for the last one? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #519: Stock group was very clever (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23768: Yet again synonyms alone should be sufficient, as should all end 'eet'. The heart group was good but beyond me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24108: oops! should have spent longer checking! Sorry. thanks for the feedback, this is my third grid :) Didn't want the incomplete words to be too hard as there were 2 groups of them- and my first 2 attempts to compile grids got re-graded as fiendish! Was trying to aim for an easier one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Marky995 @ #24099: Hi Ginge There are actually 2 famous Chris Evans'! The most famous is the actor who plays Captain America in all the Marvel films. Then there is also a TV and radio presenter called Chris Evans in England :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #24106: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #24108: Very good. (But it's spelt sauercr...) (4 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #24110: Good grid. Loved the fountain link. (4 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #24111: Only got 2 groups. 😕 (4 years, 9 months ago)

christobal @ #24113: Enjoyed this one! Took me just under 2 minutes which I think is a good time for a grid to take. The macaroni one was a surprise though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ginge @ #24099: Who's Chris Evans? (4 years, 9 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #24101: 7/10, missed the link for one group (would 'Facts' be fairer?) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Roburt @ #24097: Had to come back and do this again! I love Puzzgrid! Four stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Captain What Does This Button Do? Nothing! @ #24097: Who's Iron Midden? (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24108: sauerkraut is how you spell it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

beforan @ #24100: great red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

asylumrunner @ #24108: The half-words make this one a bit too easy, it's a bit too natural to fill them in and get the categories from there. Still fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #19850: good one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24104: santur? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Girly swot @ #24101: Nice one, thank you! (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24101: Fun grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24100: Yay - Reepicheep! Good grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24108: The 'aut' one tricked me! (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24098: Haha, was initially tricked by the castle/rook situation. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24107: Good restraint on the graph group! The explanation made me groan but it’s a fair one :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24108: Awesome grid! 5 stars :) Had to get each group one by one but just managed (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24090: Nice red herrings, but jasmine and all of the 'types of flowers' (except maybe tulip?) are interchangeable, so there is no unique solution? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bee @ #24108: Connections were not easy to guess (4 years, 9 months ago)

SonjaQoE @ #24096: Amazeballs! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bee @ #24089: There is no connection whatsoever in one of the groups: caught does not sound like court and law does not sound like lore if you speak English properly (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24089: HMMMMM, not quite sure what Nighteyes is on about? (4 years, 9 months ago)

kfp @ #33: Kung Fu Panda characters - The Dragon Warrior and his team :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24100: some slightly obscure facts but lovely construction (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dee @ #24106: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24101: i loved the tree group and good red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

JoeCool @ #24092: Northern UK Cities? Are you sure? Don't let a Shetlander find you saying that :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24084: Very hard but good fun. Rather chuffed to get 5. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24099: CRISS angel (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24088: Your ''beer'' category is broken! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24080: doesnt quite work but fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24104: Prefer anagrams when they form proper words or names. I should have got that group though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24071: agree with puzzled (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24068: lovely, one of the best ones (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24064: fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24058: ''skilled'' doesn't fit with the others in that group (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24052: fun, different (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dick @ #24062: Despite not many red herrings it was still tough. Excellent. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dick @ #24072: Nighteyes, could you please direct us to your submitted grids so we can all critique those as pedantically as you do for others? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24055: I liked the good scattering of astrological red herrings, but "Big House" for Prison is a bit obscure isn't it? As for Roy Orbison... I think "the big O" means something else to most people! (4 years, 9 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #2296: Good one. Well done... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24066: Excellent. Hard but fair. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #2297: Good grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dick @ #24041: Pull a bird, really?! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dick @ #24092: Thanks. But, sorry, what are Super noodles? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24072: The monopoly group was reasonably easy. The Bury group was superb - hard but fair, no specialist or niche knowledge was required. The FA group however, demanded information which by no stretch of the imagination could be classed as lying within the scope of "good general knowledge". As for Congleton bear... Well, seriously? I grew up within 30 miles of there, and had a friend who lived in Sandbach (about 5m away), so I visited frequently. Today is the first time I have heard of it. It is easy to write a hard wall if you throw in such ridiculously obscure stuff. The real challenge is to stick to items which can be expected to be known by anyone with a good general knowledge, and yet still flummox them. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Earplugs @ #24089: Well, Nighteyes, thanks for your feedback, but I disagree. And so does Oxford standard references, which gives /lɔː/ as the phonetic pronunciation for both law and lore. Same for court: /kɔːt//. I'm not sure quite how you speak, but I would suggest that "totally different" is somewhat of an exaggeration. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #24089: In its group, Bale is the only homophone. Council and counsel are similar, but not identical. Lore and caught are totally different from Law and Court. At least this is true in standard English pronunciation. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Girly swot @ #24092: Nice, thanks. Liked the ‘noodles’ line... (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24089: (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24092: Very good. Although it wouldn’t allow cities as an answer (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24092: Fun grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24098: The fox group gave me a smile when I got it! Didn’t understand the leopard group though, I’ll have to google it :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24097: obscure facts are always difficult except for real fans. Even then I think these are difficult to get from the clues. Maybe try more general knowledge next time? :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24098: 6 frantic and desperate points scored. Good twists, tricky answers, well done. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24099: Nice grid but it wouldn’t allow bar as an answer:) (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24099: Nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24094: Cruel! I should have got the last group from “death row reminiscences” :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Girly swot @ #24078: Neat, thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Realrebus @ #7496: Loved this one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Qievo @ #24099: Enjoyed that - struggled picking out which ones were the snow ones! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Yan @ #24085: Nice one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Carradine @ #24097: Who's Craig Cornell? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Yan @ #24087: Got night twice so doesn't work. Likes the insect group though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Magic Man Megatron @ #24097: Obviously made by some sad little man with no taste in music. Or numbers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Yan @ #24089: Nice ideas - made a bit easy by the abbreviation group though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Yan @ #24091: I think Rose and Poppy are interchangeable on this one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Roburt @ #24097: Four Stars! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24085: A tricky one! Only heard of Nero from that group but I got lucky with some educated guesses on others :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24083: I got 3/10 but enjoyed that. Nice first grid :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24082: Not the hardest but still fun. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #24084: Extra fiendish! Enjoyed that one :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dick @ #24084: All rather surreal; didn't have a clue (4 years, 9 months ago)

cjn102 @ #24084: Good grid but I found it VERY difficult! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24085: well that was fun. gado gado looks interesting, may have to try that! Merry Crimble (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24084: 3 more sleeps woo! (4 years, 9 months ago)

wezxl @ #24062: Good grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24078: Very good grid. Nice red herrings. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Widger @ #24083: really interesting grid. nice idea (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24083: my first attempt hope you enjoy Merry Christmas everybody xx (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24071: Ha ha ha ha ha! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24053: Hubby hit the nail on the head. Common enough knowledge for puzzgrid, not exactly a niche programme -and there are the books! If someone had referenced a really obscure bit of literature, I doubt if it would have got similar comments, there's a bit of intellectual snobbery going on. Marky- there's nothing like a home made present! Have a fantastic Christmas!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24054: Apocalyptically fiendish- I did not spot that hiding in there! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24055: the new york group required a bit of mind reading but otherwise a good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24059: Helloooo, BinDipper!" Haven't seen you on here for a while. Good grid. Funny how you don't see so many babies named Goliath these days. Or Herod. Gone out of fashion, like Adolph. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24061: Nice Christmassy one, including stretch---! We'll forgive you the typo- it's Christmas! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24062: nice simple one I enjoyed, Merry Crimble (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24063: I enjoyed this (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24067: you're gonna get a lot of comments about using the same word twice- especially in the same group. You'll probably also get flak for the word midget, and possibly for using party and do in one group. Just a heads up, brace yerself! Merry Christmas (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24070: douglas denholm one character (there was also reynholm denholm). Great crossovers (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24078: good (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24080: easy rather than medium? the c group is a bit silly as it stands out too easily. viola and violin are interchangeable within 2 groups so not a unique solution (4 years, 9 months ago)

JBGrumpy @ #10577: Good grid... (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24033: With a moustache as amazing as his, there was no way I was missing out on the Strawbridge point! Still failed miserably after two attempts despite knowing two groups. V hard (nothing wrong with this sometimes) and a nice variety (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #24037: Enjoyed this one. Missed out on one group and annoyed because it was obvious. Sneaky. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24068: Marvellous! The nothing grouo was great. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24070: Excellent! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #24071: Nice, although the baseball group has a much more obvious link than the one given. It's a bit like naming a group of card games "things to do while breathing". (4 years, 9 months ago)

pavis mum @ #24079: That's quite a lot of work you did just to let the world know about your micropenis, garfeld. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24073: really enjoyable excellent grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Year 12 set 2 @ #24079: I really thought gazza, miss hayes, xqc and mr hall were gonna come up as druggys. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Martin @ #24079: Im sorry but if this isn't a joke I am so severely dissapointed. I truely think this is the work of an absolute joker. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Gazzatron @ #24079: Yes my electronic penis felt very nice she said (4 years, 9 months ago)

pavis mum @ #24079: not going to lie this is pretty accurate, missing a few though (4 years, 9 months ago)

Realrebus @ #24068: (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24064: magic roundabout! (4 years, 9 months ago)

IronyTowers @ #24069: Very nice! 10 points, though the last connection was a late penny-drop. (4 years, 9 months ago)

peddars @ #186: Nice one, enjoyed it. Closer to a medium I thought. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24064: Enjoyed this. Thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

beforan @ #24073: this one was right up my alley (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #24071: Most satisfying (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24027: Easy,not many red-herrings that`s why. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24063: That took me all the time and a couple of guesses. Never heard of King Ralph but the others fitted(1st lucky guess) The only cricket term I`d heard of was crease(2nd lucky guess). Good one! :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

PETER WALLIS @ #24069: Enjoyed this one (4 years, 9 months ago)

beforan @ #24052: oh man the red herrings on this... i was convinced i knew what a couple of groups were but they just weren't right... until the end. great job. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24064: Nice, clever grid. Enjoyable! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #24059: The Patent group was instructional. Had to look it up on the internet. (4 years, 9 months ago)

cjn102 @ #24068: Really good grid. Solved it right at the end and found it very satisfying! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #24061: Good grid. Fun misdirection. Got obsessed with the wrong group with Den for a bit :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24068: Fabulous effort to defeat one of the greatest Only Connect minds of this decade, however I have defeated you Two Feather mwahahaha (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #24068: Loved the Mortician group (probably mostly because I caught it). (4 years, 9 months ago)

Peter W @ #24062: Nice grid. Not got a clue on the last link I had left 😂 (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24068: Excellent grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24068: Excellent, intelligent grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bec18416 @ #24062: Challenging (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24071: ok (4 years, 9 months ago)

Poor Stephen @ #24062: Great grid. Thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

EltonSwan @ #24061: Dinning? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Girly swot @ #24053: Liked this, thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24062: Excellent, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tea @ #22566: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24063: Deceptively difficult, I really struggled but all should have been gettable! (4 years, 9 months ago)

papier @ #24065: We enjoyed this a lot. but also I'm sorry, hoe does not sound like the letter 'O' (4 years, 9 months ago)

Girly swot @ #24048: I kinda like wrestling hopelessly with the ‘single subject’ grids but they have to have unique connections for each grouping. As you point out yourself, firstgo, Samoa can fit into two groups. Don’t let this put you off... And hubby’s grouping is perfect! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Simon C @ #24062: Liked that, but only four points for me, though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24053: I personally don't know much about GoT, but think it's fair enough to include as they include characters from TV shows not everyone will watch and know on connecting walls on Only Connect. If your family watch GoT Marky995 then you should be fine :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23987: Excellent, thanks jollycorpse :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24041: Thank goodness that other people can see what Ossie selfishly cannot, that a little problem like light hearted objectification of women is still a problem. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kingus @ #24062: good grid - thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

snoopy @ #204: Usborne are a publisher, not Usbourne (4 years, 9 months ago)

Martin @ #24061: Good wall! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sr @ #10577: My first one but not too tricky (4 years, 9 months ago)

Earplugs @ #21012: All the words in the third row can also be preceded by "On the", so a bit cruel to not allow it and a bit of an ambiguous group... (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24041: Well as my final words on the matter I would simply say two things. Firstly I do NOT use 'bird' in a dergoatory fashion and along with crumpet' I shall continue to use it and secondly that if the Germans ever kick off another unpleasantness..........we've had it!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Marky995 @ #24053: Thanks for the comments guys. Making a quiz for my family this Christmas and this will be one of the rounds :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #8276: I liked it. Thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #22125: I liked it (4 years, 9 months ago)

Des @ #21442: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Est @ #24041: Great! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #24048: The trouble with grids like this, particularly with countries, is there are just so many possible connections. Its very difficult to get a start. Good for a first effort though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24019: Good grid. Enjoyed that one! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #24053: "Passes for general knowledge" - that is a little patronising. When has popular culture not passed as general knowledge and also literature in addition to the TV series. Good grid, thanks!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #24048: Very disappointing. I thought there would be a group of UK, USA, Syria and Russia; connection - all run by dickheads!! :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24053: @CT nope not just you. But I suppose that passes for "general" knowledge these days. Otherwise good groupings (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #24041: Reading the comments was far more fun than completing the grid! I think we could all agree, with the marvel that is hindsight, that hamstring or just strings might have worked adequately well and removed the risk of offence being taken. I doubt that the grid was designed as a strategic attack on women, but poorly thought through. Merry Christmas all!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24053: Didn't know the Baratheon group - I must be the only one though! Great grid, enjoyed that :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24041: 10/10, quite easy. I did wonder what reaction "bird" would get! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24050: Typo on Evens? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23948: good, beefy red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23992: mums was a bit niche (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23987: this one is a gem! I didn't get one but I really could have which is to my mind the mark of genius! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24041: Billy Bones..'don't ever presume to tell anyone what thay should or should not be offended by"...EXACTLY!!. I'm sorry if you are incapable of discriminating between a clearly light hearted comment and a genuinely offensive one , but you have no right to impose your sense of morals onto anyone else (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23993: sorry but these ones are poor. words such as warriors, first, settlers are so vague as to fit anywhere! rectangular houses not unique either. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24041: Lorna, you are incredibly patronising. Don't ever presume to tell anyone what they should or should not be offended by, or that they are being tiresome. This enables discriminatory behaviour to continue. Without accusing Ossie of calling women this directly or in locker room talk etc, it is clearly a derogatory term and so should preferably not be included in puzzles in 2019 as if it were still acceptable to say in everyday use. There are loads of old sayings we wouldn't dream of using in grids just because they exist, and though phrases like 'pulling a bird' may seem trivial in comparison, just banter even, I would appreciate it if people could think twice about posting them in light of the recent resurgence of the entitled, laddish, 'pussy grabbing' attitude among some men in our society which some women are having to deal with every day. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #22871: Jack do you mean the semantic difference between an extinct and dead language? still a good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23859: not sure if that's correct, geoff? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23994: not a weak link just massively hard to get. Nicely done (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24050: agreed also this group stands alone too easily (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23937: ab- ten minutes? Oh come on! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #1396: no problem with american terminology- got the puzzle in secs (I'm British) as obviously sizes of something- rest of the group gives it away. Love the wordplay- most criticism here is from people who don't understand the entire format of the site! Doh! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nz @ #24050: A drake is not really a bird in the way the others are, but a male duck. Evens? I think you mean Evans (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24027: really easy one but good quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23347: you clever sausage, you :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23895: genius "top of the" red herring- was that the starting point for writing this grid? some good crossovers. oscars knowledge was my downfall (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23989: a great concept but one or two words could be easily interchangeable ie kingdoms! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24043: Agree with bb (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24041: standpoint! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24041: I can really appreciate the feminist stanspoint and thank those taking it but... in Ossie's defence he is not directing this language at a "bird" or referring to having "pulled a bird" amongst a gang of mates, he is simply acknowledging that the phrase exists for the sake of a puzzle. Kneejerk offence taking can get a wee bit tiresome, methinks (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24033: Not so much esoteric in its content, just required a fair bit of mind reading to guess at the functions involved especially the initials (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24017: Didn't get the Van Morrison one - good one!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24018: Agree with lorna (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24041: If you can't see that 'pulling a bird' is derogatory and outdated, then God help us indeed (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24043: I liked the plural bands and red herrings. Good mix overall, just wish it had been a little bit tougher (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24032: Pointlessly easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24041: Sexist language!!??..God help us! (4 years, 9 months ago)

ahay @ #23937: Thanks everyone! (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #24033: As esoteric as it gets. Didn't like (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24033: Very hard, for sure, but not classic OC grid - no red herrings or cross connections (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #24043: Not bad. Thought the plural bands thing was a bit weak (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #24032: Very easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #24023: Very,very easy. Should accept "fruit" (4 years, 9 months ago)

ChippyD @ #24036: Not bad but need better alternatives on the answers. The musical sequence is called the sol-fa scale. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #22185: fuffa I think it would have to actually be called Irish for that to work. Amanda and jelo I have to agree with bagsy as they are known biscuit types, cookies are more doughy and softer? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24011: great gag :D (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24006: I agree and also no challenge to it other than "have you seen these?"- I like the more puzzly grids (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24032: no red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24002: no crossovers or red herrings at all (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24008: no red herrings but good for teaching kids. Should be listed as easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23985: BTW chris- hope you have a better day?!!!!! :D :D :D for you (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23985: Ha! As soon as I saw Boris and Pinocchio in the same grid the link was obvious. Trump was a flashing neon light of a clue! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24048: I'm assuming it IS your first go but... I find it really off putting when a grid is all one thing, either proper nouns or similar, and usually leave it and don't bother as there's so many possible ways to go and no starting point to get to grips with (4 years, 9 months ago)

The Clown @ #24017: Hmmm not sure if Eric Cowell can be counted as famous but otherwise good. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24018: disagree it worked fine! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24041: Could live without the sexist language (4 years, 9 months ago)

firstgo @ #24048: .. hold on - no - still right: if you count in that the star's white in Samoa's flag, it is red-white-blue :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24020: Neat, thank you. Off to practise my knots... (4 years, 9 months ago)

firstgo @ #24048: @grmb - yes - sorry... should have been in the star group and US should have been in red-white-blue group... (4 years, 9 months ago)

grmb @ #24048: Samoa's wrong (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23986: nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23985: Liar would be funny if it weren't so true! I got it right though.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #23636: Difficult but fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24037: I laughed so much at the music scale one! Fun grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24036: fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #24043: great! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #24041: V good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #24007: architects of parliments.... wtf. (4 years, 9 months ago)

The Clown @ #24021: Apologies for the Wil/Will one - my error. Bit harsh Daz - The 'The' was meant as a bit of fun/challenge. Can't please everyone. (4 years, 9 months ago)

The Clown @ #23985: Amaryllis - true, but historically it's part of County Durham and it allowed me to get a 'told the truth' jab in. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24034: Magenta isn't really pink, and blonde is pushing it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24034: Magenta isn't really pink (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24031: Pretty poor, the 'buildings' one was very weak, the 'well built' didnt accept body types.. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24023: 14 secs to do. Throw in some crossovers , it'll improve it no end (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24017: Eric Cowell? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24030: the group containing UK is a really tenuous link, and having 8 answers all countries arguably means that there are many possible ways to group them- I got the football ones, so the rest by default, but it really could have been anything! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24031: well built and strong are interchangeable therefore not a unique solution- those 2 groups too similar, presumably in order to create easy red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24009: very easy but ok (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24008: The '' see through'' category is a bit weak/inaccurate (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #24002: none of your categories accepted the right answers (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24037: good red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24041: WW WW (} 00 {) O _I_ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #24037: Nice made me think. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Anne onymous @ #24032: I think you should count the word Pokémon correct for the Pokémon group ;) otherwise good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23977: Agreed . (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #24021: I tend to agree. (BTB is Big Bang Theory Krista). Will is actually Wil, and I feel it would have been a stretch even if spelled correctly. I didn't like the Royal row either, despite getting it, for the reason Das mentions (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23985: Love it!!! Didn`t get 10 but anything that agrees Trump & Boris are liars get 10/10 from me! :-D (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24033: Ha....BRILLIANT.... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24006: I wouldn`t call 2 lines of games and 2 lines of actors in certain TV sitcoms a `Good Breadth of subjects`CT ! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hmmm @ #24033: Great variety. Tough grid. I was pleased with 6 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hmmm @ #24018: Jar? The others in that group are tenuous too. Otherwise a nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24018: Fine/good except Jarjar. That`s a character the others are common nouns! Doesn`t work. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hmmm @ #24036: The spelling of ray and me aren’t accepted. I enjoyed the grid though (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24043: Aaaaaagh..sussed it with two seconds to go but couldn't click in time......nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hmmm @ #24034: Not sure about blonde! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24021: What`s BBT?-even Google doesn`t know! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24022: Yeah but please add Voltswagen as acceptable!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24030: But-but my guess of Queen songs said `correct`??!! What? (Well it makes a change from the usual complaints that a reasonable answer wasn`t right somehow) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24031: Not entirely convinced these are all sortable groups-especially last 2. I could put half the dictionary in them! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #24034: Tricky! I thought cyan belonged in `pinks`! Never heard of Medallion being a colour- I clearly need to peruse more housepaint charts :-D (4 years, 9 months ago)

Lyndon @ #24041: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Lyndon @ #24041: Merry Christmas All (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24007: Top work. (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24011: Shameless plug......FIENDISH!!!.....8-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24034: Yellow had me stumped and I went off at a tangent thinking you had thrown in a "bean" group as a red herring but Ii got there in the end.....nice work (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24036: Ha..I got the "pet" group but I added "py" instead and I was thinking I would take you to task over "carpy" is a bit dodgy....my bad!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #24041: HAPPY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!!..8-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

rita @ #113: (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alan @ #22589: because not all elements are metals? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #24034: Being colourblind, not the best, but got there in the end end :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23943: Enjoyed, thank you (4 years, 9 months ago)

Super Brad @ #23989: BORING (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ms Forbes @ #24034: Wow! Excellent! A+ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Molly @ #24034: excellent puzzle (4 years, 9 months ago)

Pam @ #23347: Good grid. Enjoyed the "q" bluff. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs Forbes @ #24032: Amazing! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23895: Tough stuff, but very good. Thanks. The ‘pops’ red herring was my downfall. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JerseySue @ #24022: Thank you for a great grid - straightforward but an easy start to the day and to harder ones! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #24027: Ok grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daz @ #24018: one of the best grids so far! noice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

WagwarnFam @ #24010: So fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

Daz @ #24021: first two groups good, last two bloody awful...that is, the BBT one ....Will? Come on....And The? should never have that in that context, plus shouldn't have either before or after, pick one ffs! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #24022: Nice grid to start the day, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24017: Excellent crossovers! Enjoyed that one :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #24018: Niece one, said aunty (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23994: Enjoyed this (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr. Plow @ #24010: This is one of those where two groups are instant and easy and then the next two are beyond difficult. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23995: I was going to say too many names, but I'll let you off for the genuinely interesting fact about geordie Mike! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #23994: Yep, what billy bones said! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24007: agree with ct (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #24010: quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

Marie @ #24018: Naice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tamingo @ #22185: Good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ginge @ #24010: So difficult I had to screw my blinkin hat on (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23985: What fun, thank you! Though Washington has been part of Tyne & Wear for ages, I think... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24007: Enjoyed, thank you. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #24010: Too ‘niche’ for my knowledge...! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23900: Enjoyed this, thanks. Your hams...Parma, York, Brunswick...led me astray. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23926: Nicely put together, thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Rob Thomas @ #24007: Very good this one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Tamingo @ #1396: Tricky (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #23989: Enjoyable! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23937: Nice one, thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Amaryllis @ #23986: Enjoyed, thank you. Couldn’t disentangle my Simpsons from my vacuum cleaners in time... (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #18253: I could see the connections but took 3 goes to get the groups right with so many cross overs. Excellent. (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #23988: As per other comment, no chance with the niche knowledge one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23986: Excellent (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23994: Mostly enjoyed, but the link for the wombat group ended up being a bit weak. (4 years, 9 months ago)

geoff @ #23859: sorry, the nazgul are the beasts , its their riders who have rings (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24000: Please, please, no more Love Island!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #24003: Same! (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #24007: Nice one (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #24007: Well constructed , intelligent grid. Thankfully no celebs or Harry Potter !!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24006: Good breadth of subjects. With names, you either know ‘em or you don’t. :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24007: Nice crossovers. One obscure category though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #23758: Good mix of content. Couldn't sort out the Barn and Eagle groups, but that's on me for being a bit thick. Cheers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Stef @ #23967: FUN FOR ALL THE FAMILY (4 years, 9 months ago)

Stef @ #23965: I am giving myself 10/10 for this one, I said murderers instead of serial killers (though I guess i needed to be SPECIFIC UGH) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Glenn @ #24003: Don't know who more than half these people are!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #23918: A fun grid with a good mix of content, and not too difficult - I wouldn't have minded if the terms for the Scouse line were expanded though as my answer was not accepted. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #23986: Easy but fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #24000: Groups were easy but I didn’t know the Love Island contestants. And I’m ok with that :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23962: Tougher than it looked but I got them all eventually! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #23992: Solved in 2 minutes, but largely by luck! (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #23977: Nice grid, quite easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #23992: A nice grid but is the mother group a well known thing? Certainly I had never heard of any of them but that might just be me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Confused @ #23576: What is a windlow? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23580: It's Queens' (apostrophe after the S) College for Cambridge (despite its full name being The Queen's (apostrophe before the S) College of St Margaret and St Bernard). The Queen's (apostrophe before the S) College is in Oxford ... just to make things more tricky! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #23993: not a history geek but some were soooooo random, (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23988: I had no chance with Kwazii, etc, but happy with 7/10 and the rest of the board. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JohnnyCH @ #23957: As OP, I welcome your feedback, I wasnt aware that Picard hadnt been shown yet, I just plucked it from a list of series names and thought it might help with that group. Feedback noted, and will be a bit more thorough with research for my next grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23581: For "Types of Cherry", the word "Cherries" was considered incorrect, unfortunately. (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #23985: Love it. First time I've smiled since Thursday (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23959: Plenty pitfalls here, enjoyed it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23960: Wasn’t fooled by the decoys this time. Nicely done. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Gridlington @ #23961: Yes it does (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #23989: This was hard but fun! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Michael @ #23961: Michael/John/Lennon/Jagger doesn't really work (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #23965: Nice grid, relatively easy as not many overlaps / red herrings (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #23923: Relies too much on specialist knowledge for my tastes - the 2 rows of character names is too obscure. If you haven't seen Bambi and the Pirates film then you're stuffed as the characters aren't well known outside of their bubble (4 years, 9 months ago)

TJ @ #23957: Picard? Seriously? Not good (4 years, 9 months ago)

poto9 @ #583: Noice. (4 years, 9 months ago)

poto9 @ #10577: I liked this grid. It deserves its place on "Best Grids" (4 years, 9 months ago)

rellio @ #22737: Very nice grid. 5/5 (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #18312: No Aldo is right! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #10957: agree with "salamander "and "everyone" comments (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #20484: awesome (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23691: and a punch is also a whacking great machine that makes holes!!!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #189: great! didn't know the n cook fact (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #17775: bishophood and queenhood are also words so kittymcg is right and this grid does not have a unique solution as any of the 3 could be in either 2 categories (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23966: too many red herrings for a "decoder" grid type- spotted that there were primes and x 7's but too hard to find in time (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #11026: I love it when a grid is informative as well as fun to play. Glad I don't use make- up! I encourage anybody who does to quickly google "mercury in mascara"- its an eye opener (sorry!) (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23968: agree with Mal (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23951: 3 categories look written, one of the categories looks a bit like the bits left over to allow for wriggle room and red herrings. Names for Christmas were mixed in with other festivals. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Grendel @ #23978: There is more to a sound grid than sound. Perhaps try more thought and fewer grids. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23968: It's an AMUR leopard, engagement is spelled wrong, it's circles of hell not rings, and your only accurate set ( pies) didn't accept pies as the answer! (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23967: fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23971: All rows lame apart from the fish one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #3712: Pers found easy, but definitely my absolute fave so far. Thanks! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23971: Barracks has a singular form (barrack) and fish has a plural form (fishes), depending on context. Other than that, a nice grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23950: Both Shorn and Pool are ridiculous! (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #11026: Really enjoyed and not just because i got 10/10. The mercury group was excellent. (4 years, 9 months ago)

bloss @ #23966: I solved this and I was proud :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23957: Choosing ''picard'' as a series is poor, it's not even been on yet!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fun @ #583: (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23951: Yeah Noel isn't a festival, and the plants aren't 'just' xmas ones (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23939: none of your categories accepted the right answers!!! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Ruben @ #23867: I really lovbe dinjosaurs, nearly as much as the fellow people of colour on this planet ( im speaking to you Martin). Keith, walter wont stop crying now you walked out on us again and hes began to start adventuring with his genitils. please come back soon the kids miss u :'( (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #23960: Very good. Sneaky red herrings! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23612: Scarletfish - I also went for New York Boroughs :( (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #23959: nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

Johnny @ #17775: @kittymcg Kinghood? not sure about that one. good red herring in my opinion (4 years, 9 months ago)

Michael @ #189: Loved it! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23955: Good grid, though I had never heard of any but fish in that category. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23618: "Light phenomena" ... acceptable? (4 years, 9 months ago)

hmm @ #23948: good grid. the meat category had me stumped. (4 years, 9 months ago)

hmm @ #23950: What accent says Pool as Paul? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #23947: Good fun. But spelling is vital to get right. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Johnny @ #17376: Those Johns are certainly not obscure, in the slightest. Especially to anyone under the age of 35 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #23950: Pool? Seriously? Not really..... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Christobal @ #23951: Easy! 😁 I know you can't change it, but it's spelt "Hogmanay" Not sure that Noel is a festival.... at least not in English. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Rosemary @ #21287: first set also shakespeare characters, but this was not taken as a correct answer (4 years, 9 months ago)

Johnny @ #8880: @ Sabin, In the UK it is marketed as Cluedo... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Orelinde @ #23940: Clever. I especially liked the Raj group, very neat. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Orelinde @ #23947: "Cornea", otherwise good fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #23955: Have five stars for including Mr Pipes (not that I'm fickle or owt). (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23675: ... and fatiguant is spelled like this ... and peux and peut are from the same verb so ... kinda the same thing? Just being pedantic now, I know ... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23675: "Infinitives" ... could this also accept "verbs", perhaps? (and paresseux needs one R and two S's) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sarah @ #23691: You can punch holes in paper with a hole-punch, or get your ticket punched on a train. :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #23947: 'Cornea' not 'cornia' (4 years, 9 months ago)

GG @ #23936: GROW UP LOSER (4 years, 9 months ago)

new road @ #23936: too hgard sooooooooooooooo impossible (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bagsy 33 @ #23945: Completely bamboozled me other than the songs. Excellent grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

new road @ #23809: this is the best grid ever (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23925: Nope, Villans is correct! (Check the club website) Validation isn’t good - bird not accepted. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23945: Good grid. I should have tried harder for animals & weapons... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #23947: Correct spelling is cornea. (4 years, 9 months ago)

too @ #23945: *Rankin (4 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23945: nice grid, I managed to find all the rows but couldn't get the Ranking connection. very enjoyable (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blu_dawg @ #21206: Awesome!🤣🤣 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Blu_Dawg @ #21206: Awesome! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23920: 2 good groups, 2 more reliant on specific knowledge. Will suit some peoples tastes very well though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23923: Agree with widger but very good- took two goes and googling bambi to get it! still didn't spot free until after resolution (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23924: brilliant- felt prematurely smug when I spotted the fish- then failed to see air! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23925: girls names is a loose group. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23944: inspired red herrings- I put colours for the gem group as I also hadn't heard of that gem (4 years, 9 months ago)

14WEGGEMANSR @ #22509: This is a fantastic game and isn't too easy or too hard, so, if you want to play this game,go on to here and play with your family. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23945: wow (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mickle @ #18312: Aldo - it says Free comes before - knob (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23944: Excellent. Had no idea that hyacinth was also a gemstone! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23675: Just wrong! Unless you are taking a French grammar exam (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23674: As I keep saying synonyms should always be accepted for a line of synonyms. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23934: Pinky and the Brain 90's Warner Bros. cartoon mice. Pinky and Perky 50's pig puppets. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23944: lol this was fun. good quality and entertaining as always (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jonas @ #8834: "England strikers 70s" not acceptable answer for 'England strikes from the 1970s" is a bit harsh (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23943: agree wholeheartedly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23643: Synonyms should always be an acceptable answer as we can't guess what the submitter will choose. I put synonyms for chatter as that appeared elsewhere in the grid. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23937: I love this! It was a joy to play, thanks 👍 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23640: And noises! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23630: Far too restrictive in allowable answers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23943: Excellent grid! Crafty and tricky. Only missed out on the Psalm group (ridiculous!) but happy not to know it :) Happy with 7. Thanks. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23924: Very clever. Good, albeit quite difficult, grid. No complaints though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hilary @ #23925: a bit easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Hilary @ #23937: Tricky (4 years, 9 months ago)

arthur bowsprit @ #23937: just wasted 10 minutes of my life (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23927: You got me, was utterly beat. Knew the Monday link but not Savannah. Wasted time pondering Rich Hall and Tom Baker. Excellent puzzle with plenty of misdirection. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23926: Chivalry isn’t dead after all. Good stuff. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #23937: Nice and tricky (4 years, 9 months ago)

James @ #23934: Fishcake- which rodent are you saying is a pig? They all seem like cartoon mice or puppet rats to me (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23914: What everyone else said (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23916: fun, I like ''word'' ones (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #23935: Good test (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #23935: Good test (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #23926: Enjoyable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #23916: Reasonable test, but two sets with prefixes? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Toferino @ #22589: Won't accept elements for metals?? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fishcake @ #23926: very good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fishcake @ #23934: Simply not geat, two character groups, is a pig a rodent? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fishcake @ #23934: Simply not geat, two character groups, is a pig a rodent? (4 years, 9 months ago)

Batch @ #13076: good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

tony @ #23867: irona i am typing your coordinates into my drone now you and your 15 inch nob are literally about to get obliterated by an agm-114 hellfire missile within 5 minutes of this post (4 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #23920: Liked this one a lot. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Big D @ #23918: Good grid. Does anyone know if it’s possible to turn the sound off without having to do it on your phone/computer? It’s incredibly annoying! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Widger @ #23923: good grid - though I prefer connections to be all before or all after (personal preference) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fury @ #10828: Biscuits (4 years, 9 months ago)

Widger @ #23924: Car group, hard but good, excellent and annoying. Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #23919: Same again - didn't get the link for the row with 'pit' in. good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23925: *villains (4 years, 9 months ago)

Greeny @ #23912: Sort the definitions out...really annoying when typing the right answer and it's marked incorrect (4 years, 9 months ago)

Peekay @ #23925: Some nice crossovers, but agree with previous comments....medium at best (4 years, 9 months ago)

JJJ @ #23925: Nice grid - but not too hard - I would say this is medium, not fiendish. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23912: easy not medium took 20 secs (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23917: cleverly done (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23919: Same as Wordie. Liked the plumber group especially. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23923: Really sorry - my computer crashed and submitted this grid twice! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23911: Please don't require "types of" in your answers. Ain't nobody got time for that (especially on mobile keyboards)! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23914: A flat is in a building, but not a building -- and half of these things are not inherently smooth but made smooth -- but it's not a usable category in the first place. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sophie @ #23911: I typed all 4 answers correctly, yet none were accepted (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sophie @ #23914: Things that are smooth? FML (4 years, 9 months ago)

Sophie @ #23918: Good grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23904: easy yet still high quality (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23907: excellent as ever (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23911: plunge group interesting and different (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23913: batman actors has been done to death now (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23916: really enjoyed this (4 years, 9 months ago)

JamieQ @ #18847: The 'max' group foxed me. Nice one. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #23919: Good grid. Made the wall and three of the rows but beaten by the row containing ‘pit’ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23907: Well done (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23914: Might want to expand your accepted answers. Sculpture, living space, and singer were all unacceptable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JJ @ #8793: They all contain alcoholic drinks within the word (port, gin, rum, sake) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #23907: Clever theme (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #23903: Thanks that really confused me. Otherwise ok. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #23907: Well done. Stuck finding all the group's but got the connections. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #23903: There’s a mistake!!!! I mistyped ‘dogdi’ - it should read ‘dog’. Sorry everyone. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23904: Pleased to have got that in 55 sec! Nicely thought out grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23899: good one (4 years, 9 months ago)

IVAP @ #23867: Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately my parts are so small I can't get a grip on them so I can't do as you imply. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #23888: A great way to CHILL out (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #16106: Depot, arsenal, safe, archive did not accept the single link-word "storage". Please make the link answers more flexible. Love your grids! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mr C @ #23901: Nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23899: Drat. I thought ‘Soho’ was simply ‘Soho’ and couldn’t unravel the final 2 groups. Nice work. The grid lives up to your moniker :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23890: Lovely grid, a good mix and fun twists! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #8441: Only got one of the film references :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #48: Nice. Sometimes you either get them or you don’t! I missed nuclear (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #23895: Difficult (4 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #23897: ok (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23895: @ Keir – unable to explain that one, take the free point and run :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

Keir H @ #23895: Boy, so many groups blindsided me. The fake "Pops" group especially well. However, for the "Selma" group, I typed in "twins" and it was correct, apparently. Don't know what happened there... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #8793: Hello what is the answer for the airport, begin, drum, keepsake line? The app would not tell me 🇬🇧 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #22589: Hi Freddybob could you answer? (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23897: Very good. Anagrams often catch me out! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23893: Nice grid. A good combination of links I got, links I should have got, and links where a good guess would work! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #22589: This was a great lesson in reading the grid first! Once you get the shape of it, you can pick your groups in the right order to avoid red herrings and it's a cinch (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #16099: I don't thing "form" can be used as a verb to mean draw. It could be used to describe a drawing maybe but it seems a bit tenuous to use in that group? (4 years, 9 months ago)

j @ #23894: jo and diva ambiguous (4 years, 9 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23897: Drat, had the Socrates group ready to go. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23896: Apart from this being about connecting walls and not missing vowels... Three Kings cake is called that because it's eaten on Three Kings' Day, Jan. 6th, not on New Year's. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Alan @ #17692: Fun one (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #16099: Form, trace etc would not accept 'sketch' as a link. But I love your walls. (4 years, 9 months ago)

RBR45 @ #23885: Helps to know Glasgow and certain films xx good grid, little easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

RBR45 @ #23885: Helps to know Glasgow and certain films xx good grid, little easy (4 years, 9 months ago)

Deb @ #10235: I liked this one! For some reason it was fairly easy for me. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #22589: Wonderful freddybob! Cool name by the way!😎 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #179: Very clever thank you Grotbags! Where’s Emu? 🧙‍♀️ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #9863: Errrrr... (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #17271: WOOHOO! This was good. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs K. Nickers @ #8403: It’s not pants ❤️ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs k nickers @ #98: Lots of fun for all the famiy (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23895: Excellent. Threw me a couple of dummies as well as being a difficult one. Hard but fair. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23884: Oh, this is a treat. Excellent!. I knew “branter” wasn’t real but had to guess something :) Not too bothered by bond; it is validated by the more general “words associated with” umbrella. Have found myself using that more often. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23890: Nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23886: nicely mixed. Mention of Harty reminds me of Vyvyan from The Young Ones (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23867: Get off the internet and go and have a *cough* cold shower- whatever gets this rubbish out of your system. Stop wasting everyone else's time (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23888: ooooh, I feel chilly! I'm hoping to get my mum into these puzzles- this is a perfect first go one to start her off, straightforward but fun enough to get a newbie interested (4 years, 9 months ago)

IVAP @ #23867: Sorry everyone that I made such a crap grid. Also sorry about the spellings. I spend more time making love to goats than reading books and my spelling has suffered as a result. I'm also sorry that I still can't get my capitalisation correct when trying to impersonate other people, even when I have already been called on it. I am an angry Internet troll because I have such small parts and it drives me crazy. I'm a sexually inadequate virgin. Even my own family don't like me. If it wasn't for the goats I don't think I could carry on. Sorry again. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23885: Got the streets first, local knowledge pays off for a change! Couldn’t stop thinking Bill Odie though and ended with 7/10. Very well done. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23892: your definitions are slightly odd but it was an excellent grid and I especially liked the jiffy line and its crossovers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23889: Good grid, thanks (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23891: Tiger tripped me up, good distractions for that group. 6/10 scored (4 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23872: Have now discovers 4 new dogs from TV... Still got 7/10 but suspect something clever was entirely lost on me here (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23881: Too difficult. Scored zero. Clic isn’t a word, which irritates. (Think I maybe too old for this...) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23889: Easy in the end. A nice one :) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23887: Ran out of time to scan all the lyrics in my head! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23885: Caught me with Glasgow shopping streets! (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23884: Very good. I ran out of time (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23888: Pretty easy. A bit more variety, rather than all prefixes, would be good. And more crossovers. (4 years, 9 months ago)

mal @ #23888: easy but nice (4 years, 9 months ago)

martin @ #23867: i like boys lol (4 years, 9 months ago)

JRS-002 @ #23643: Good fun (4 years, 9 months ago)

JRS-002 @ #23885: Excellent (4 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #23139: Great grid! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eidur Gudjonson @ #23886: shuperb (4 years, 9 months ago)

Neb @ #23865: This needs some explanation please (4 years, 9 months ago)

Cross Country @ #23885: Lovely. (4 years, 9 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23859: Cleverly tricky. Didn’t do well at all. Good work. (4 years, 9 months ago)

kossofyou @ #1152: I think 'fraser' and 'maris' are really clever red herrings. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23885: Enjoyable grid. Not too difficult. (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23884: Fair comments. Sorry, the discrepancy didn’t occur to me :-/ (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23860: and yes, I also bolt my food (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23860: I've heard of scarfing food. In fact I do it all too often (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23874: have you just been to a business seminar? (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23643: excellent construction- the puzzle had a very pleasing "shape" to it. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23642: there was an old lady who swallowed an alka- seltzer (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23599: get a new dictionary (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #660: sometimes I wish there were 6 stars (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23823: if you can't even fit the definition into the box, its a stretch to expect many people to get it. This seems like it's trying too hard to be high brow. I much prefer a good, brain teasing puzzle to a test of knowledge. A lot of work obviously went into this and I appreciate that, but a good format idea is worth a thousand words, even if they rhyme! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23881: interesting mix (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23884: Yes. its either 3 verbs and a noun, or 3 nouns and a verb, depending on how you read it. I got stuck on that, ironically. I liked the ch group very much (4 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23884: Bond is a verb, so does not fit in this group (4 years, 9 months ago)

NotYourAverageGoblin @ #23881: Black death and raindrop fit both groups. Uncapitalised roman numerals out of order was a frustrating one but not inherently a bad group I suppose. Other than that a decent and challenging one and I apologise for my kneejerk reaction of 1star, pretend I gave 3 (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23867: Agree with Wes, this is a complete mess. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Katherine @ #23823: The Latin abbreviations and poem clues are pretty out there, I don't even know what i'd put in for the keyword if i had guessed the poem one correctly. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23878: Took me a while to spot the Spenn group, sneaky but so good (4 years, 9 months ago)

Eddy W @ #23867: I really enjoyed the Fortnite skins side of this puzzgrid, Tricerops is my favourite fortnite character from season 3. I love this skin sooooo much, I even went to the extent of buying it on my several accounts because I really love this skin, I have been a huge fan of fortnite for many years, basically since I was born, I have played fortnite for over 10 hours at a time and that was all with tricerops because that is my best skin, this puzzgrid is highly good and I want everyone to do it, Thanks IVAP for this great experiance, mixing my 2 favourite things what is dinjonsors and fortnite, and most importantly tricerops.

tash @ #23867: Hi guys Tash again i had another go at the puzgrid and i managed to get 3 sets, the last one i struggled a bit on. I think i'm overcoming my fear of dinjosaurs a liitle bit, but hopefully, bit by bit, i can rid myself of this fear by doing this puzzgrid once a day and bringing myself to realize that dinorsaurs dont exist anymore.

Krista @ #23587: Bit TOO easy for the `medium` classification. Groups too simple/easy and no red-herrings/cross-over clues. I thought the blue group was cleverer though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23878: Good grid. Although I’m not keen on elements that neither form words nor names. (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #20319: Needed good guesswork, nice grid (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #6180: Very good. The US athlete link caught me out (4 years, 9 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #660: This wall completely defeated me. I got zero points, and that's very, very rare. Yet all the groups are perfectly fair and demand no niche knowledge. What an excellent wall. Well done. (4 years, 9 months ago)

JMH @ #23211: I wrote "sitcoms" and it said that was an incorrect answer (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23593: Never heard them called Pocket Sandwiches, never heard of Escape rooms before! Should be precedes otherwise it means the word comes first Roomclass,Roomdining ect (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23599: So what`s Quailing-my dictionary doesn`t know? (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #583: Enjoyed that although I thought the Circuit links were words which could be both nouns and verbs (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23603: Too easy-done in 30 secs,no cross-over clues. the only line name I got wrong was because they should be written RE,IT,DT,PE (IMHO.) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #10577: Quite easy but satisfying to do (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23612: It allowed districts. I thought the flexibility in those group names was a lot better than many-none of my answers were exactly what was written.Good grid :-) (4 years, 9 months ago)

CT @ #23877: I learned some stuff! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23618: Me too(approx) Gridlington,it must be easy! I didn`t think there any red herrings?! (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23628: Yes-you done some gooduns! Killers fooled me completely :-/ (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23630: Lots of very good red-herrings but need flexibility in groups answers. Middle Eastern should be acceptable. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23640: Good grid but it`s those group names again. Ever heard of do-ups? And onomatapeaic or not they are still synonyms of bang. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Krista @ #23642: Agreed Mal. It`s a fault with many grids.That lot are still UK counties-cricket or not. Derbyshire neck is new on me though! (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23830: sorry but this one is ridiculous- there's just so much it could be and add red herrings to the mix you've got a near impossible grid. Too much guessing involved, rather than logical deciphering. There were several "add a P to make a word", for example. (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23832: more easy than medium (4 years, 9 months ago)

lorna @ #23833: yes, I agree that group is a bit "guess what I'm thinking of"- they're also all just northern cities. Occam's Razor it. Good grid this, though. (4 years, 9 months ago)

Freddie @ #23816: Enjoyed it (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23832: Clever - but possibly too many crossovers... I knew what all the groups were going to be, but failed to get any in the time. Others will probably do better! (4 years, 10 months ago)

KB44 @ #23756: Excellent. Thanks you. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23755: Tim, the “ee” on the end means the female version. Single “e” would be male. And have you ever heard a man referred to as a Brunette...?? Krista, “Food” is a valid answer, so not sure why you had a problem. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #21702: great (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #14948: FIENDISHLY clever and sneaky. I love that you describe the band as legendary- like you'd find them sitting in a crock of gold, at the end of a rainbow... :D (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23794: I agree that array was a bit of a stretch- I actually spotted the group then dismissed it (doh!) because I didn't think it fit. But it was an excellent grid nonetheless (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23816: by first you mean winkle, categories in order you solve them (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23818: really good but- I counted 9 possibilities for one group, 4 of which were all in the Carr group. Does this mean that the grid doesn't have a unique solution? (I'm not an expert- I'm not a setter!) That's the only reason I gave you a 4 as it was really enjoyable and took me 2 goes! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23819: great grid but I never would have made the leap to the animals being people's names! That's a hard spot! But fair :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pagey @ #10577: Very satisfying (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23794: Excellent grid! And don't worry, the sounded out letters were the easiest group to get. You can't take into account every dialect and regionalism -- the vast majority will find "Array" just fine. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23811: The Kettle group is not *pre*ceded by anything. (4 years, 10 months ago)

peoplesvote @ #23304: very down with the kids, definitely brushing up on my reality culture knowledge! loved it x (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23796: done physics experiments with toddlers at work- sponge definitely doesn't float. Fills with water almost immediately and sinks. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23733: lovely stuff (4 years, 10 months ago)

ChippyD @ #23809: Feeble. Sorry, Some unknown Monicas and Autocad ? (4 years, 10 months ago)

ChippyD @ #23811: "words make sense" is not a link (4 years, 10 months ago)

ChippyD @ #11928: Answer to one group seems unnecessarily gender-specific (4 years, 10 months ago)

ME @ #23809: THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR SHOUTING!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23756: Very innovative. Nice. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23780: Agreed! I put Rodents but it was rodents!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

jonny @ #23816: 1st category misspelt (4 years, 10 months ago)

Christobal @ #23786: Good grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Christobal @ #23798: Good grid! Jo, that's the point - they're called red herrings! 😄 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Christobal @ #23811: Not too difficult, although the "words make sense" group is a bit tenuous. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #23798: The ster group covers at least six words..... (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23810: ''things I like''?? OH GO AWAY. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23796: Things that float on water is a bit rubbish. Not bad else (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lin @ #23780: Didnt accept any right answers! Frustrating :( (4 years, 10 months ago)

Josephine @ #23814: Ur not crackhead (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23780: I PUT PETS AND I PUT RODENTS!!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23790: I PUT JAMES!!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

JONBOB @ #23809: I THINK USING PARTICULAR INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC SOFTWARE AS A CONNECTION IS A BIT OF A REACH. OTHERWISE SOLID. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Miranda @ #23520: Amazing grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

sadia @ #23813: Sick grid mun (4 years, 10 months ago)

Miranda @ #23724: I dont even know what to say the links areee stupppiiiddd (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jj @ #23796: Salt and pickles are not really condiments. Seasoning and topping. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23788: #2s is a tough one! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23811: The colours vary according to order of solving, so "red group" doesn't mean anything. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #23811: Not bad, but the red group wasn't really that good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Miranda @ #23811: Extremely different (4 years, 10 months ago)

Meeee @ #23811: It was well hard what the hell (4 years, 10 months ago)

Princess @ #23811: Good grid with enough red herrings to start a fish farm :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Johnly @ #23726: The 'right' group was my favourite! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23755: Forgiven for the lack of accents-UK keyboard doesn`t allow but NOT for not allowing Food terms from French! :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23768: Can you see why Lindybeige-I can`t? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23790: I`m with Bloo * CC! I also put James( no one will have heard of James Gang!! 1966 rock group? I`m the `right` age but don`t remember them!!) but also UK PMs which got rejected. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23796: Aah! Counties NOT towns! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23797: Fooled me. I failed miserably. I could see there were walls & towers and capitals but got nowhere! No idea about the Julies. (except Andrews) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23799: Made me feel stupid not getting the -ship ones!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23799: (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23799: Made me feel stupid not getting the -ship ones!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23799: Made me feel stupid not getting the -ship ones!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rhys @ #23781: My first 10/10 so I liked this one ! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #22194: I feel like homophones should be accepted. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #23768: It is rare that it happens this way around, but I got a 'correct' from typing 'red' and 'car' into the 'heart' group! This feels generous. (4 years, 10 months ago)

bob @ #23796: hi (4 years, 10 months ago)

AndyS @ #23799: Made me feel a bit stupid this one! No clue about the Bob's other than Dylan! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #23798: Good grid, quite straightforward (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #23799: Agree with Mr Tom - Chap doesn't really fit in this group - UK side of The Pond (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #23800: The car group is a mix of model and marque which makes no sense - Honda and Fiat, Defender and Cortina (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #23790: Bit annoying that Blue didn't accept James on it's own, which is right. Maybe a bit more leeway in acceptable answers would be useful. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #23794: I think Array being RA is pretty tenuous, especially when you take into account pronunciation of both Array and R-A. For me, Array would be A-Ray, not RA. And R is pronounced very differently in different accents. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joe C @ #23797: Ottawa is misspelled (4 years, 10 months ago)

jammydodger @ #23788: There I was, jingling along in a Christmas haze, then stung by the precise answer. A fun grid, thank-you. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #23799: Very good, although I ashamedly only got 3 :( (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23799: Chap's a bit loose, on this side of the pond at least. Still good tho. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #4611: Number one UK singles of the 1970s is a bit niche... Simply "songs" would have been sufficient. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Wordie @ #23798: Good grid but I made the wall and the links. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Wordie @ #23799: Good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23778: Beatles - “incorrect”. Wtf...?? Impossible grid (for a Brit, anyway) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #23719: Nice red herrings. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23781: there are also a lot of red herrings here for the tallywhacker group, but only if you really urgently need to visit a urologist. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #23730: Neat! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23768: The “ee” rhymes were actually “eet” - and rather too obvious. The groups fell out quite quickly. However, the “hearts” defeated me! Good one! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23783: Good grid thanks. The capital cities link was a bit obscure though (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23783: not a big fan of huge chunks missing from words, the thinking is too back to front. Untangling the puzzle was too easy but the definition for this group was very hard to spot so a bit of a weird mix (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #23749: Synonyms should be an acceptable answer, I Think. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23786: so nearly there (2nd attempt) kept me guessing for ages- have you been saving up red herrings? (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23786: Really good grid! So many crossovers! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23758: Tim, not sure why you don’t like the doors... Apologies to non-Brits - although we get hit with US teams and colleges plenty! Yes, bit of artistic licence with nicknames (although I’m a Blade and proud of it!) (4 years, 10 months ago)

CB @ #23790: Overthunked herrings, Minerva !!, James Gang who? (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23790: Shame about the “issues” (see below), because the grid was cleverly conceived. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23781: Some inter-changeables in the 'nursery' world I think, so this solution is not unique (hickory/one two... for example) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23774: A teacher perhaps?? Niche and pointless. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23790: Earlier commenter far too cultured for me... Minerva is professor mcgonagall in Harry Potter! Shame that a good grid was spoilt by irritation when it didn’t accept the right answers! Minor irritation though... overall very enjoyable grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23755: Got the full points, but would query the "female" line. Only "femme fatale" is limited to women. (4 years, 10 months ago)

CT @ #23761: Yes Athens and London fit two categories (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23786: Excellent grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #23790: James didn’t work as an answer! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23758: The Door line - a bit dodgy. The Premier League (singular) - completely impossible for those of us outside the UK. Surely no-one calls them by the singular, nor would think to. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23790: POOR. It's Mrs MINIVER (Minerva is a goddess) and not a single one of your categories accepted the right answer. (4 years, 10 months ago)

CorenM 4PM @ #23714: Great! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Di @ #23790: Too good 4 me (4 years, 10 months ago)

boo-urns @ #23764: Enjoyed the Dahl group (4 years, 10 months ago)

boo-urns @ #23770: far too esoteric (4 years, 10 months ago)

boo-urns @ #23776: Who the hell is DJ Smells? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Deb @ #23756: Love this. A nice adaptation and addition to the game! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Harvey @ #23780: How is Metamorphosis a famous play? It's a famous short story and a famous work of Ovid's, but the play isn't famous. I presume you mean Steven Berkoff misinterpretation of Kafka's story. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23780: It didn't accept rodents.. BUT YOUR ANSWER WAS RODENTS. Same with pets! (4 years, 10 months ago)

geoff @ #23756: brill (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23756: One of my faves! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ConfusedOne @ #16057: A city's pronunciation in English is not always the same as that of native speaker's of the language. Paris is not Par-ee in British English. Seoul is not Saw-ool. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23783: Straightforward but well done and it made me smile, esp the nostalgic throwback to the children’s books :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bumblebee @ #23787: This grid is very good and it is easy enough with a couple of red herrings also everything makes sense (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23763: Very good grid, thanks. There were too many balls for me to manage full points! :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23758: This is brilliant. Great fun, challenging, and wonderfully sneaky! (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #16057: Seoul is not pronounced "soul" (it's "saw-ool") and Bern is not pronounced "burn" (it's "bear-n") (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23771: “very easy”...?? As long as you’ve got a degree in physics... (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23777: “Jobs” is pretty vague - but “names of people” is worse... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #23752: Loved the idea but have to agree with the others. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23768: Fun grid. Sometimes the simplest things can be distracting. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #23756: I really enjoyed this one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #23778: It wont accept any of the correct answers. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #23780: Not enough leeway in those answers. Didn't accept plays for the pink, didn't accept rodents for the red even though it was the answer and I feel like animals should be accepted for the final one. (4 years, 10 months ago)

luskentyre @ #23771: You know that question when you submit a grid that asks: "Is this grid of interest to a general audience?" (4 years, 10 months ago)

oliver @ #23740: this was awful, i know the guy who made it, he's a dick. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #23754: I enjoyed it. I realise that plenty of folks on this site don't like Pokemon and are sick of HP but personally I am a fan of both. That did make it quite easy though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #23756: Very good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Alyssa @ #23765: very good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23772: liked to the TAC group (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23772: A bit contrived (4 years, 10 months ago)

VJ @ #23764: Fun to do, the last two groups were very tough to get, but good connections. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Super Brad @ #23756: Very good keep me coming (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jemi @ #23520: It was fun (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22427: Oops! This is my second try. smashed it this time. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22445: Nice grid. just a bit too easy considering i'm a rock fans and a cold play fan and a car fan., oh and I live by the Tyne (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #23730: one of the better grids (4 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #23753: I think the Hal 9000 line is fine trivia, if the truncation trick were removed. The semi-obscure trivia with the added wordplay is a bit too much for my tastes. The other categories worked well, I think. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #23729: They cant be followed by green, they follow green.... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23756: Sorry, but I really dislike adding crossword style clues to the clues themselves. If you need to point out your anagrams, why use them at all? There's also no reason at all for all caps on the anagrams. You've already told us they're anagrams, so... what's the point? Obviously in the minority here, but I don't think this is the idea behind the game. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Ethan @ #23767: hello vry cool sir thank u (4 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #23726: Very clever (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23765: Come on now. If you're a teacher, you must have read the big red text on the submission page, stating "Teachers: please note that your grids are almost never of interest to a general knowledge audience. Please do not choose Yes above. Your grid will still be accessible at the URL." If you're not a teacher, and I'm kinda hoping you're not: All four of these are in the same general category and also waaaaay too specific. Either way, this misses the point entirely. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23756: Great fun. do some more like this (4 years, 10 months ago)

TeamCaptain @ #23752: As the Team Captain here, and therefore adept at the consonants round on Only Connect, I approve of your puzzle assembly choice. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #5552: I couldn't agree more with Nighteyes. These are meant to be fun! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23752: I have to agree which is a real shame cos you obviously put a lot of effort into this- however I must say thanks for trying to be original because I do love the varied format grids. It was brave to attempt this, do keep trying new formats please! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23755: et tres bien (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23755: facile des pois, presse du citron!!! :D (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #22882: Utter genius! rightly listed as fiendish- I got boys names but didn't spot the Bond link as I thought one was Gregor! I didn't solve it but I loved it, love this format. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23753: ahhhh, I miss firefly (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23756: Wow! Really good fun, not too hard but challenging. Thanks for the originality, it's great to see a variety of formats- much appreciated- I'm off to try your other one! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23728: Clever grid, not difficult, but so easy to overlook the obvious connections (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23758: really really very good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23754: Well you won't get elected then! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23758: Which one? (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23761: There isn't a unique solution here, because Athens and London can be swapped? (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #4161: fantastic grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

kpnuts @ #23756: I enjoyed this grid. Would have liked a full ten points, Although I put all of the correct link words (bodies of water - river, lakes, ocean and reservoir) this attracted no points!! Otherwise this was a five out of five. (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23756: haha yeah! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Coren Mitchell for PM @ #23729: Very good. I was convinced butter would be involved! ;) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Coren Mitchell for PM @ #23758: (4 years, 10 months ago)

Neal @ #23755: Fun grid. I would have received full points had I thought to spell one of the answers with the British spelling. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23756: @ bloss - there’s no shame in refreshing the page and restarting the clock :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23747: Your PLANTS NAMES?? Oh behave. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23756: Interesting twist. Thought I was doomed, but wound up with 7 (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23756: I enjoyed this one - but I was too slow to finish! (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23738: Very good. So many beds to choose from! (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23756: Followup to the similar crossword format I used in grid #22882 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #5552: It is easy to write hard grids - ,just include items which are really obscure. A good hard grid is one which uses items that someone with good general knowledge should know. After the grid, they should be saying, "ahh, I should have seen that!". They should not be saying, "who the hell is Richie Porte?" (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23729: Enjoyable and solvable. Nice. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #8199: No Chippy - Gods is correct. These are not things that Mars IS - they are things Mars is IN. It is embedded IN Marshmallow, it is one of the planets IN the solar system. It is one of the bars IN celebrations, and it is one of the gods IN the whole set of them. (4 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #23744: Yes, I agree that the playing cards are a fantastic connection. All of those are very well-known and Hoyle is a good "way in" to the group. Nice red herrings. Well done. (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #421: donkey, tiger, bear, and pig are also in the chinese zodiac (4 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #23752: Agreed. Pick one of these ideas or the other. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23721: Nicely done, enjoyable grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23744: I got the cards straight away and enjoyed it very much! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23755: Jack, I guessed it would be. But once I’d thought of it, I had to try it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bergers @ #121: white worm is a film title rather than a type of worm, 'back' could precede pressure, water, ground etc... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23755: Nice grid. Though it was quite easy! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bergers @ #23738: (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23755: This is mine! Tried this as a novelty grid - hope it works! Apologies for lack of accents... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23752: An interesting idea, but combining the gimmick of removing vowels with clues that aren't actual words when you add letters back in ("ballfight"), or require specific knowledge (like "mansland") backfire because its impossible to decipher what the words would be with vowels if you've never heard of it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23744: I grew up around playing cards and have seen those specific brands all over the place, so I guess I figured they wouldn't be too hard to connect once you saw them all together. Sorry if it was a tad too vague. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23753: There are two reasons this might not be considered one of my better grids... First, Robby only appeared on TV a few times... (Robot still works as the category though) and second, the truncating category requires some specific knowledge. Hope at least a few of you enjoy it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #27: Apparently it means that moment when you catch your toe on something, and do a little run forward, so you try to style it out by waving and pretending you've just spotted an old mate and CAN'T WAIT to get over there for a big reunion... (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #26: too many alternative answers. The music group would have been better if the colours stood alone as one word bands. The links were too tenuous. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #11: This is a general rather than grid specific comment- why do so many people criticise a grid by claiming something doesn't exist because they've never heard of it? There are LOADS of things here I've never heard of, but its quicker to google them than type in a criticism of the setter and make yourself look like a prize numpty. Puzzgrid teaches you new things, if you use it that way, unless you WANT to rant (like I just did! :)' ) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23744: Does not seem that playing card manufacturers would be any more obscure than poker terminology (of which there is plenty floating around this site). (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23490: Kept trying to put s in front of other words (like tring and weighed) (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23718: @ JonBob - replacing ‘Junction’ with ‘Vent’ would improve upon the deceptive path you mention, to be ure ;) (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23620: Fairly quickly solved and understood but wonder if keywords are flexible enough for extra pts, I accept ‘moon’ and ‘president’ are v general but some could feel a tad cheated. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #16564: Not particularly good, lack of subject matter mix being the chief reason. Some criticism below justified, some not. Tomatoes aren’t fruit, Josephine? C’mon now, that’s just silly. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jim @ #20055: Great fun thank you (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23749: Disagree with the complaints as well; the category is easy for anyone interested in cards, cardistry, magic, games and whathaveyou. I'm not interested in football, but I don't complain about the neverending football categories. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Riff @ #23744: Nope. Card boxes is obscure. Not a clue! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23739: don't bother with this one it's a waste of your time (4 years, 10 months ago)

jim @ #23209: good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Josephine @ #9020: You links are too formal (4 years, 10 months ago)

Josephine @ #16564: tomatoes aren't fruits (4 years, 10 months ago)

Susana @ #23744: Oops, the comments BELOW. ;-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Susana @ #23744: I disagree with the comments above; the boxes of playing cards was a great category. Nice grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

M @ #13: Ok (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23730: Good grid - well done (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bear @ #23726: The right one is a bit much (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23744: That card boxes category is poor and lets down a reasonable grid. Plus you pump a bicycle tyre not the actual bike! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23744: Playing card boxes? (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23739: Racist idiot. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23694: Poor grid, too many words that could fit into the same category. Colin, try and read Jack's comments, they are very valid and may help when making your next grid. Unfortunately, they won't help with your attitude! (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23628: Good mix and twists, a fun grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Larry. @ #23735: Ough dear. (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23730: Didn't do well, but excellent grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23735: ... or a garden! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23738: Nice one.. I opted for M though, which also works ;-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nz @ #23740: Appalling (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23714: goes from kids telly... Christmas... ACID BATH! Eclectic subject mix! :D (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23720: wish there was a 6 stars option for quality. Exactly the right kind of challenging. Feel like I've had a good mental workout! I'd completely forgotten who steps were and failed to see "board" but enjoyed "getting my eye in" and reading becoming easier. Thanks for being really original (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23721: :D (4 years, 10 months ago)

josh @ #23735: "I never heard of the drak-OH!" (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23737: good but after getting the other 2 groups the first name/ surname groups stood out from each other easily without me knowing why. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23738: really good (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23740: dreadful (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lamar @ #23740: Fire bruh! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jmfnz @ #23730: Fantastic! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23681: Great groups, just need broader definitions to be accepted for sol group, and Brighton group could just be things at any seaside resort in general (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jmfnz @ #23612: Oops - sorry. It was my first grid - so just getting the hang of things! Will be more careful about spelling and acceptable solution words in future! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Uranus @ #23628: Mmmm. A very good grid. Enjoyable, challenging but doable. I think I’m a little bit in love with Aetees. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Uranus @ #23620: Haha nice. Love this griiiiiiiid (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23730: really enjoyed very well done lovely grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

paulayres @ #23721: enjoyed this (4 years, 10 months ago)

paulayres @ #23726: enjoyable (4 years, 10 months ago)

paulayres @ #23728: nasty - but in a good way! (4 years, 10 months ago)

paulayres @ #23730: v g (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23730: Very nice grid, lovely work. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23692: Yeah, 'Danish' should be accepted (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #20375: Not often a fan of the themed puzzles, but this was good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23725: I think the girl's name group could also be the catholic virtues (4 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Bones @ #23726: Good apart from the 'right' group, bit of a stretch (4 years, 10 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #23671: Whiskey with an E isn't an americanised spelling. It's the difference between scottish or irish whisky. It is used when referring to american whiskey yes, however that's not the root of the word. Maybe it's my age but i've also never ever heard of money reffered to as cabbage. Though that may be my end. I'd also suggest pepperoni instead of bacon for the pizza link, never heard of bacon on pizza. Ham or pepperoni yes, not bacon though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

H @ #23730: Excellent (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23730: excellent red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

tpin13 @ #21093: I have waited a long time for maths knowledge to be useful in a grid! Worth the wait! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Larry. @ #23729: Learned something today. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rocket Scientist @ #23705: I was robbed! I put lager!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23729: Pea can also go with green I think? (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23674: Not a fan of the Diaper group due to the inclusion of palindromes. I've always know the other 3 in that group as anadromes. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Paul Coughlin @ #23729: Ooh, I did quite well!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23692: Really well constructed grid. Just a suggestion, try putting several words like Denmark and Danish. (4 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #23718: I fell into an interesting (unintended?) red herring trap with Tort and some other words. Might be the basis for a future grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23700: agree with Jack. Plus, didn't accept first name Barbara. try not to pluralise answers. Other than that, well constructed... thank you! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23705: Excellent grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23729: Switch - like a whip, a stick that bends easily and is used for hitting animals (or naughty school children in the past) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenkoy @ #23680: Nil Points! I feel very stupid, Going for a lie down and then revise my statistics, Pokemon and Rick and Morty (who are Rick and Morty?). (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23721: Turkey reference a touch obscure. Rest v good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Matt @ #23721: Oh, and LOVE the Smashing Pumpkins rererence (4 years, 10 months ago)

Matt @ #23721: Really enjoyed the challenge - I feel like I knew the groups just couldn't quite get my head round how to sort them. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #23729: 10 points! Thanks for the puzzle (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23729: Yes, preceded, not followed by green. Don’t get switch as a beating instrument. Did it mean the cricket shot...?? (4 years, 10 months ago)

noodles @ #23714: Nice grid, very enjoyable :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #23726: Good, apart from blue group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Slim @ #23729: I could not think of the link for Tea/Finger/Fly/Room! I'm annoyed with myself. And not to be a pedant but the link is listed as 'can be followed by "green"' but it should be can be preceded by green (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #23729: 👍 (4 years, 10 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #21707: I did not realize I was a sheriff. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Top Banana @ #23705: (4 years, 10 months ago)

Top Banana @ #23721: Excellent! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23726: Good grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23694: 7 state capitals (plus one that could be a misspelling) is too many, imo. Even though I got the Berlin group, the answer obviously required geographically. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Come on you Spurs @ #23653: Well, Sophie, I enjoyed it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #23651: WHAT?! (4 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #23714: Good grid... except I put children's characters. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #20209: Great grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Super Brad @ #500: SPOCK is still NOT a doctor. Sort it out (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #15956: Great grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Super Brad @ #497: SPOCK was NOT a doctor and I repeat NOT a doctor. Sort it out (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23693: This is excellent. Well done and thanks. (4 years, 10 months ago)

GavinJ @ #23725: Fun. Only got the Adam group at the last minute - I really should have seen that earlier. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23714: Excellent interlinking, enjoyed this one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Kevinmak @ #23721: Yay - is that a Smashing Pumpkins reference :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pantatbesar @ #23705: They are lagers not beers! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23721: fun grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23720: Interesting twist (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #23714: Love the Christmas #1 group and quite ashamed that I got the connection. Thanks for a good grid!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

jammydodger @ #23711: Very nice. Easy in the end but twists and turns along the way. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jammydodger @ #23711: (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #4155: this was easy (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #7062: (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #186: Found this one easy nice and straightforward well constructed doesn't deserve hard rating but enjoyed (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #3712: Loved the travolta crossover. Unfair to criticise you for acceptable answers when you used the most efficient form of correct term- if people haven't heard of it they haven't heard of it, it's part of the challenge! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #4165: "of honour" stood out too easily -gave away the whole group and therefore removed any potential metal red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #8355: Pan group absolute genius and what puzzgrid should be all about! Nothing stupidly obscure, just really well camouflaged. More like this please! (4 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #23720: Cool (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #12552: re homophones- look at the little flag next to the setter. Try saying the words in their accent. If its a match, you're looking at a homophone. Same goes for culturally specific answers- the flag is a clue. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #2748: not a hard, more medium (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23720: There are regional Pig Latin differences but the basic rule I applied here: move all leading consonant letters up to the first vowel to the end of the word and then add on “ay”. In this case I avoided words beginning with a vowel or ‘y’ (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23635: @ lorna - Your appreciation is appreciated. Thanks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23669: As a wearer of hearing aids, I knew both prefixes were valid (and definitions very similar) and chose audi- intentionally as a potential distraction. Nevertheless I accept audio- is far more widely known. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23669: no, I think audio is fine. Unless you meant audio? (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23671: ha! didn't spot the Americanisms 'cos I saw your flag and assumed it was just how you spelled! Doh! Didn't like it at first as all one thing but it grew on me- then I struggled (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23603: Basic (4 years, 10 months ago)

ChippyD @ #12578: Cheadle is super-obscure, get that is an element of these puzzles but maybe a bit too far? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23700: The BBC costume drama, could also be historical novels. Since they are all books first. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23699: very original (4 years, 10 months ago)

streets585 @ #1793: streamlined? (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23671: Poor categories (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23670: Answer parameters are FAR too specific ( and not that accurate despite that) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Ellen @ #23152: a bit of a stretch (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joris Bohnson @ #23705: Very nice grid. Good job. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23705: A nice eclectic mix, much easier than your normal. The blue moon group sticks out a bit for me (4 years, 10 months ago)

Neilbisacock @ #23680: Terrible. Probably the worst grid I've seen on here. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22801: good quiz. Bender and co couldn't remember the cartoon name in time! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Steve T @ #23680: Absolute tripe. Don't waste 3 minutes off your life on this rubbish!! AND WHY THE CAPITALS - ARE YOU DEAF (4 years, 10 months ago)

KB44 @ #23692: Those pesky Blue Peter presenters ate into my time. Good grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23672: really good (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23675: different (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23681: Good but too specific- those words can precede many others eg foil, as are common prefixes. All seaside items at most resorts. Fun to play, though easy (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23690: Actually, I think you'll find it's spelled Peeeepule. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23690: ha! I love it when people try to correct the setter and are so way out! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23691: great (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23692: Again, a great grid! Not at all obscure but some lovely "ah" moments! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23693: good, only spotted 2- my lack of film knowledge! but great crossovers, and clever sneaking in of pudding! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Fury @ #10063: It's a galia melon (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23694: It was quite good but I marked you down one star for including "just countries" as that's a bit general and dull, especially in a grid with all very similar groups. Sorry- hope this is constructive :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23695: Brilliantly well constructed (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23696: great, unpredictable hidden group! Spot on. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jonas @ #11116: Must phrase answer correctly preferably use "synonyms" Fashionable wouldn't do for one answer "synonyms of intellect" wasn't good enough, "synonyms of intelligent" is (even though that's one of the answers) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jonas @ #11342: Twisty, turny, ultimately satisfying (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23649: Echo, Siren, Sprite and Pan are not Deities, They are mythological creatures. Last is a ridiculous category, as you can put "last" in front of every noun in the english language! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23650: "UK cities with airports" would make a better answer for the Bristol row. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23651: Why make a grid so obscure that there's little chance of anyone solving it. Waste of time! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23695: Sorry, I meant to put “Left-handed googly” (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sis @ #23681: Is that you Nigel? (4 years, 10 months ago)

ColinSamuel @ #23694: Haha, dry your eyes, Jacky boy! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23694: Its poor grid design to just have lots of answers that could all potentially be in one group and people to have to click through every combination. A group should be logical and thus specific enough to exclude red herrings. Just a really bad grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23681: Think the Brighton clues work well for Blackpool as well (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23695: You shouldn't include offensive terms in a grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23628: Nice grid! Thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23622: Obscure films (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23653: Forest wasn’t accepted. Also, if you don’t know football managers then you simply can’t get it. Not general knowledge, (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23541: Busy Bee..they do if you come from Slough! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ColinSamuel @ #23668: Superb stuff! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #23690: Bah, I meant to change it to Arachne as I felt there was a bit too much Iliad going on. I must have forgotten to change it on the actual grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23690: Good grid! I got 10 (somehow). But “Arachne” doesn’t match “Andromache”! (4 years, 10 months ago)

JC-002 @ #17679: ignore jelo's pedantry, this is a great grid, well done (4 years, 10 months ago)

ColinSamuel @ #23695: Fun wall! Took me a while to get going but got there in the end. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23694: Clever. Missed all the groupings - but got all the links (rather fortunately). But I liked it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #19106: This is as good as it gets. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23674: Haha-when did they add semordnilaps to the dictionary! That`s a good one!! 😂 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #19215: Nice idea, but unfortunately, a lot of it is wrong. A rocket can be A weapon, but it is not a weapon launcher. brilliant = mint? Why? Steve borden? Did you mean gordon sumner? An alliterative sentence is not a twister, but tongue twister. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Super Brad @ #355: PERFECT GRID (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23671: Stone should be an acceptable answer for the “foods with a pit” category (4 years, 10 months ago)

ian @ #23692: surely 'Danish things' is close enough to 'things from Denmark'??!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23680: Not a fun grid, very obscure. No need for CAPITALS either. Sorry. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Super Brad @ #307: 2 easy up your game son (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23690: Actually Ian, it’s “Double double toil and trouble”. If you wish to contest this further you can take it up with Shakespeare. Good grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Super Brad @ #295: Old school more like OLD FOOL (4 years, 10 months ago)

Panda @ #18479: Too hard (4 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #12046: These make no sense (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #23650: Agree with lorna....The Bristol group is ridiculous, i defy anyone to solve that (4 years, 10 months ago)

ian @ #23690: it's 'bubble,bubble toil and trouble NOT 'double double' (4 years, 10 months ago)

Virapondus @ #10696: Excellent! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Virapondus @ #10696: Excellent! (4 years, 10 months ago)

noodles @ #23690: Nice grid! A little challenging but not too taxing! (4 years, 10 months ago)

noodles @ #23674: Gutted, I didn't realise that it was semordnilap, I've only ever seen it as emordnilap! Really good grid tho! :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

garth grey @ #23643: good - cracker group got me too... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #23668: There were quite a few things I hadn't heard of even when the grid was resolved, hard to say if that is because they are too obscure or I am simply not knowledgeable enough. Well constructed if quite frustrating. (4 years, 10 months ago)

noodles @ #23680: Nice easy grid, definitely appealed to the nerd in me :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

noodles @ #23681: Really good grid, taxed the ol' grey matter! (4 years, 10 months ago)

anonymous @ #10577: bank and bed can be switched :P (4 years, 10 months ago)

anonymous @ #23669: They’re SI prefixes, not just for data. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tnucamai @ #23678: Has someone been on a course this week? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tnucamai @ #23679: Sorry but this grid was not good. There were no red herrings and the solutions were far too general. (4 years, 10 months ago)

DA @ #3757: TOP (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23674: DUPERY spelt wrong. Apart from that, good grid. Didn’t know that SEMORDNILAP had become a word!! Thanks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #23674: Thanks for the grid!! I had never heard of semordnilap. What a great word and links beautifully with the group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tnucmai @ #23674: Palindromes doesn’t really fit with the others in its group. I see where you were going with it but na (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23669: Good grid. Should it be audio rather than audio? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Katee @ #6882: A nice mix. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23672: Nice grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23648: Very nice grid, Widger (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bruce Bogtrotter @ #8441: Easy peazy I wiped that grid with a squeegee (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bruce Bogtrotter @ #9875: I thought Snow, Hail, Drizzle and Mist were breeds of camel. Strangely my answer wasn’t accepted. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bruce Bogtrotter @ #4582: Great tasting grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #2297: I liked it. 10/10 yay! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Chlogeek @ #23593: Enjoyed the grid thanks. The sandwiches got me! Nice red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #23411: That NATO clue was awesome, great grid!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #23651: Crazy-level difficult, so hard I'm VERY proud I managed to score 1 pt. (got the anagrams of types of poles) (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23649: good quality but I solved it which means it wasn't hard! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23650: the letters category is really silly (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23651: a bit too multi layered, but then it is listed as fiendish! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23657: hmmm... I only knew one group yet was still able to guess the grid as answers resembled each other enough. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23314: Synonyms should work without tough. This is same grid as 23312. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23312: Synonyms should work. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23649: Pip pip (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #8556: I do like a theme, thanks. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Humphrey @ #23658: Obsessions not "Obbsesions". (4 years, 10 months ago)

cc @ #13: Plant genus. Why not flowers ??? (4 years, 10 months ago)

obsessed boy @ #23658: I don't think "they are all girl obsessions" is a very good link... (4 years, 10 months ago)

barry @ #6833: good (4 years, 10 months ago)

barry @ #2748: good game (4 years, 10 months ago)

barry @ #583: enjoyed (4 years, 10 months ago)

barry @ #10577: (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23656: LOL @ ''famous crook'' (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23628: Excellent Grid, Aetees is one of the few puzzgrid compilers who always finds the right balance, so the grid is challenging but interesting. Well done! (4 years, 10 months ago)

abbafan08 @ #2184: good (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23642: not bad, but as per you need to open your answer parameters a little (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23638: SYNONYMS ! is the word that escaped you (4 years, 10 months ago)

KB44 @ #23642: Now I know what Derbyshire neck is, good grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #19021: Marx brothers and con_ were nice, but "soul" is not how you pronounce Seoul. (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #360: Genius! Love it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23651: Ridiculously difficult. I scored 0 (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23644: Very interesting and very different grid! My knowledge of capitals isn’t good enough, hence 5/10 Thanks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

fury @ #23617: biscuits (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23643: Good grid! Some clever herrings - but I managed to get 10/10! 😊 (4 years, 10 months ago)

fury @ #23629: biscuits (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23643: excellent grid - cracker group foxed me - even though I said the answer for two of them (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #3496: homophones, not homonyms (4 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #23614: Very much my area of expertise so I enjoyed it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Toots @ #17296: Best etc don't quite seem to go together (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23642: never come across derbyshire in that group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23637: liked the lime group (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23636: some really nice red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pelm @ #23641: Does not accept "fly" or "effect" as answers (4 years, 10 months ago)

Stonerose @ #23612: Areas of New York wasn't allowed??? (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23628: If I were to be really pedantic, and I often am, a case could be made to say that BOOT and FROST could be swapped and the grid solution would still work. (JACK BOOT and GOLDEN FROST) The latter being a Dragon Ball Z character. However I'm not going to point this out because I enjoyed the grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Stonerose @ #23629: Is Sheeran a rapper? (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23632: Very nice grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23635: Easy peasy. (4 years, 10 months ago)

annoyed @ #17389: rubbish marking - got more marks :( (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #23632: I have kept meaning to look up Settlers of Catan since I heard it on Big Bang. Now it has cost me!! Good grid, thank you:-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23630: nice (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23632: Never heard of the Catan game (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23614: Many types of Auk found elsewhere in Northern oceans. Good crossovers on these homophones (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23615: awesome! Ashamed to say 2 attempts and just didn't spot one in plain sight! Very well played, I like a (fair) challenge! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23620: was going to make that exact point but a very enjoyable grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23632: Excellent . Should have seen the west Bromwich connection (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #16480: VERY nice with Herring! Good group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23631: solved in 1 minute but don't know computer games and no idea about the surname group- which makes this grid guessable unfortunately (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23622: nicely woven. Didn't know the films (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23628: up to your usual standard, nice mix (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23630: very well constructed, good game play (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #22289: Good grid, but the anagrams group was exceptionally difficult. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23635: more a medium I'd say but really good- you're one of my favourite setters (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #18405: Seven red herrings makes it virtually impossible to get the young group unless you get really lucky. Also, Jules is right _ range is not an average. Still a nice grid though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #20114: Not the most challenging, but these are really nice grids. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #22997: Only just got this one _ 11s left! Some lovely red herrings. Excellent grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23306: At the end of the day they are plant forms for the non-standard among us so Plants should be sufficient. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #19785: Ray cut? As in one of the cuts of meat you might get from a ray, i.e. the fish, might be a wing? If so, that is bit of stretch, but still an excellent grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lola @ #1396: I shouldn't have been marked off for saying "beds" instead of mattress size, but other than that, good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #22794: Trip hop? Huh? And rap singer's second James is very niche. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #15455: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

BSD @ #23613: Ridiculous! A good grid requires skill, not bizarre niche knowledge (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gaffer @ #23618: come on why not fenonimon!!! Good Grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23626: Extremely poor! You have 12 words that mean very similar things and your categories are arbitrary. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23625: Almost no one is going to use the phrase ''discourse markers'' (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23620: what Puzzled said (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23612: No, ignore Lucky. Everyone else is correct. Tighten your grids up and it'll improve them. Oh, and first names, not Christian names. (4 years, 10 months ago)

WeTheCurious @ #23631: What the hell? 2 reasonable groups followed by one dodgy and one clearly impossible (4 years, 10 months ago)

Markus @ #23631: I enjoyed this immensely (4 years, 10 months ago)

WeTheCurious @ #22478: Quite difficult resolving the groups, but obvious once done....very good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23579: A "sea change" is a very common term. It means that things have changed dramatically or significantly. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Virapondus @ #13329: "Wimbledon Champions" would be a narrower definition. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bosai @ #17233: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lucy @ #23612: Nice grid, some people on here take it too seriously! Ignore the silly comments (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23614: Bit arbitary between Red Kites and Blue Tits really. was there a rationale to one being in one group? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Random Name @ #69: 69 nice (4 years, 10 months ago)

Random Name @ #0: The connections were so obvious when the grid solved itself! I don't know how I didn't get any of them but at least I got the four points for the connections. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22795: Three out of four isn't bad for a Monday morning good quiz though (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22797: Easy but a good start to the day (4 years, 10 months ago)

peddars @ #23599: Nice ... kept me puzzling with 10 secs to spare. (4 years, 10 months ago)

nice @ #23474: like it (4 years, 10 months ago)

clue @ #77: Clue not accepted? (4 years, 10 months ago)

0 @ #23460: I think you might need to look up the definition of "island nation". Both Indonesia and the UK fall into that category. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #22977: Loved the palindromes (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peter @ #22978: Never heard of league as a word to describe socialising (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23617: The "fur" nearly threw me... "The metric system is the tool of the Devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!" (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23620: Easy-peasy and lovely. Only problem is that not one of the names in the Ulysses group is unique to that play. They all appear centuries earlier, even if not all appear in Homer's stories. Just "Troy" or somesuch should be a possible solution too! (4 years, 10 months ago)

EG @ #23617: (4 years, 10 months ago)

Anon @ #16788: Could swap Norman and Ernie (Eric & Ernie) or Norman and Sam (Sam & Mark) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Christobal @ #23612: Same as below. Manhattan spelt wrong and New York not accepted in the answer. We've all made mistakes when creating grids. Can't be corrected now, but please check spellings and try to include all possible correct answers. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gridlington @ #23616: Good grid! Just hard enough, but not too hard! The Blackpool red herring threw me! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Coco @ #23596: Most needlessly difficult grid I've ever seen, by far. Self indulgent tripe from the gridmaker. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gridlington @ #23618: Good grid. I hit a winning streak and did it in 37 seconds! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23618: Haha Disney tricks :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #18349: Clever, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23612: The only challenge is spotting the Beckhams, and given how many times they've been used, for most this will take about a nanosecond. Really dull after that. So sick of that connection. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jack @ #23618: a well designed grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peter @ #23593: Jolly good grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23596: Enjoyable grid, nice work (4 years, 10 months ago)

Seb @ #23530: Shouldn't it be 'can precede ...' instead of 'can be preceded by'? (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23613: No idea what BSD is! Guessed “Computer Systems”, so not a million miles off! Also recognised Echoes as Pink Floyd, so tried Albums (but not PF) Some good red herrings! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23614: Rather niche subjects - but nice red herrings! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23612: Yes, I put New York Borough - and it was wrong! And I hope you allowed both Neighbourhood & Neighborhood... (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23599: Nice comments - very encouraging! Thanks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23613: spacegroup: they're also all potentially infinite, or indefinitely great in quantity (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23599: Nice comments - very encouraging! Thanks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

noodles @ #23612: Didn't accept New York as an answer but other than that a really nice grid! Good job :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23580: Not according to their website (4 years, 10 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #23612: Manhattan* (4 years, 10 months ago)

peddars @ #23573: Enjoyed that. Hazarded a guess at FBI, LOL ... (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23602: eeeeeugh! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23594: The one or two military crossovers to the purely military group are no different than any other grid with red herrings. Good spread of subject matter. No more obsessive than the many grids with solely celeb names and soap operas! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23601: Sorry just awful! Really hope teacher is just a name... the sort of woolly clues leading to to closed questioning that has been frustrating school kids for years. Any level of teacher training guides against that. Agree on the point about opinions. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23609: not difficult but really good, nice spread of subject matter (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #5289: Bit different! I liked this as a good literature quiz. Less of a puzzle than most formats but still very enjoyable. Thanks for a bit of variety! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23573: I agree that the states line was too hard in an otherwise too easy to separate and solve grid. I never enjoy the easy, easy, easy, fiendish combo- much better the solvable but very well hidden clues! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23606: yes, I had noticed (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23410: Don't bother. (4 years, 10 months ago)

kay @ #47: brilliant!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23573: Excellent grid, 10 stars at least! and Smolenskoy is not an anagram of ScarletFish! Enjoyable 30 minutes trying to solve the states connection, thinking naively that there would a simple solution! Duh! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23599: Excellent. Plenty of red herrings and crossovers... only thing missing was a 5th group that wasn’t! Only thing that stopped me getting 10/10 was a gate... or agate! Geology not my thing clearly! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23603: Not a single red herring. Groups solves themselves for the most part. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #5289: Clever one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

no @ #23606: no (4 years, 10 months ago)

neilb4god @ #23582: Was going to mention the lack of an apostrophe in Birds, but it turns out I'd be wrong to. The food company spells it Birds Eye after their founder Clarence Birdseye (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #23604: Don't think 7up will like the red group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23217: Nobility alone didn't work! (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23609: Lovely! (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23601: A grid based on opinions is always going to be tough for others to solve. There are some highly disputable connections here, such as Natural Law giving clear guidance, which is flatly contradicted by the abundance of contradictory conceptions of Natural Law. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #15267: Nice one with the duplication of tin. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23606: Lots of connections are a stretch. Wallendorf is a bit of a misspelling. Cutul Huyuk is a bit more of a misspelling. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23606: pegasus is a bit of a stretch. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23595: Got stumped by the misspelling of Carrey, and Dore and Rogan are Canadian. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #20055: ouch! Why not go and kick a puppy while you're at it? Personally believe that is one gifted kid, with a great sense of humour. Hope your proud of him! Lovely that you spent the time together on this. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #2661: or and oar are also homophones! I suppose it could be an accent thing? This was an easy, I think. Well constructed. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23574: clever (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #23580: It's Queens College not The Queen's. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23599: marvellous. Hold it up for the rest of the class! This is what we're aiming for. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23600: f- ing clever! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23603: this was an easy, not medium. Bit boring I'm afraid, no game play to it. Good variety of subjects though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23604: Thank you for the genuinely interesting if not useful trivia on mascot names, and for the use of the word thrice. Worthy of much praising! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cin @ #20121: Ah...just so American. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23603: Agree with previous comment. Groups were easy to separate. But I only identified Christmas... Crossovers/red herrings always add interest and complexity. (4 years, 10 months ago)

GMS @ #23599: Liked it... didn't solve it (4 years, 10 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #23594: One is vehicles, one video games, one a musical instrument and only one thaat's military... okay, sounds obsessive :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23594: Trench Rat is an appropriate nickname... this quiz is annoyingly military-obsessed (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23602: celebrities don't work as a group... can't mix colours and ones with colour elements French last names... WTF? I assume they translate as French names... but still, there must be hundreds of French last names... Blanc (white), Bleu (blue), etc... I had medieval professions for this group quercitron and cochineal are sources of colours, whereas the others are names of colours... and these are some obscure colours anyway... there's red dragons, but dragon red? otherwise well-crafted quiz but please make sure your sets are all the same thing from now on (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #11419: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23603: I'd say the groups are too easy to guess without figuring out (i.e. there's only four names, and four two-letter abbreviations), and the school subjects should be capitalised... try to make some overlapping items later, e.g. you could have had "Carol" as a person so there were five possible Christmas items, or had an abbreviation group with an "X" so the particles/rays weren't so obvious, or put in singers with "Oxide" or "Neutrino" who look like they're in the particle group... otherwise good quiz! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #11343: Like the theme ones, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #11356: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #11355: ‘Ride a cock horse to Banbury cross’ ‘Who killed cock robin ?’ Nursery rhymes (4 years, 10 months ago)

dolphin57 @ #23506: There is a John in the beatles (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #23600: Not sure if the types of fish were intentiomal red herrings, but they duped me effectively. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Chris Mouse @ #23392: Enjoyable Grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Chris Mouse @ #5898: Don't think onion and haddock are "compound words" but good besides that. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mo @ #11619: Very good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mo @ #11619: Very good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22078: Liked the dyes, although I put ‘stains’. Enjoyed this, thanks. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23577: I managed to get the football teams in the nick of time! I agree that 1 category of truncated words is fine. But more variety for the others would be much better. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22101: Liked this, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22206: American high school classes have them, I believe. (4 years, 10 months ago)

squareeyes @ #23593: I'm not sure that's what preceded means (4 years, 10 months ago)

ChippyD @ #8199: Should have been Roman GOD surely? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #20055: This is frankly... Shite (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23508: the term midget has been applied to small things and animal breeds also. Sometimes words are just words. Intention is everything. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23577: Hi Giggsy this is intended as constructive feedback- thanks for trying something new- my favourites are always the unusual formats- for me this was all too much of a stretch... the idea of a normal grid with all of the words just chopped is maybe too difficult? I'm impressed that TCBH got 2- I just sat and stared! Trying to find word commonalities. May possibly work with a few more letters per word, or less usual word prefixes that give just a hint at what's going on! Not meant to be harsh criticism I just think feedback helps if its a new idea. Thanks again :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23579: that is the Australian meaning- in idiomatic English it means a substantial shift in perspective. Hope that helps! (4 years, 10 months ago)

No One @ #696: Rather than 'com', that group can be prefixed with 's' (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rei @ #2661: Tricky start but once it clicks it's a really fun one to work out. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rei @ #184: Pretty easy (solved in 30 seconds) but well constructed. Last row caught me out on connections (4 years, 10 months ago)

Angus @ #23593: But could do with more variety than words preceding only (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23579: sorry - maybe that's just in Australia. It means moving from the city to the coast. Also a line in The Tempest . (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23593: Good grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23592: same word twice? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #23593: Nice grid! Solveable but with good crossovers/red herrings :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Namaztak @ #23579: What in the Christ is a "sea change" (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #1396: Excellent grid. It’s got me in the mood for playing chess in bed under the moonlight again. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Steve T @ #23573: Enjoyed this one. Yup, I think Miss Cohen-Mitchell would have called that as ‘a nasty one’ 😊 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22518: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22765: Good one thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Si @ #17903: nice one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22656: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #22845: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23583: good tricks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23588: Pulsar doesn’t fit the group... it’s made by nissan (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23583: Too easy. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23587: Never a fan of groups that are a mixture of people with that name and other things that their surname can be. Also, that group was fairly easy to identify as they clear had not link to the other three groups (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joris Bohnson @ #23588: Things found in the night? Very weak category. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23577: Burt - TCBH managed a couple of rows. Get smart... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #20386: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #20434: Nice one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23583: Nice misdirection (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dinos @ #21507: Tough grid. Not keen on the boy/ girl names. Bit generic but others were great (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23583: Intelligent, well thought out grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

papier @ #23565: Excellent grid, the Satchmo red herring was particularly inspired! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Adrienaline @ #23585: Wow really. Yes, I studied economics, but having to know the specific terms for these things to solve a grid is unpleasant. Maybe this could've been made not accessible to a general audience? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Burt @ #23577: Absolute rubbish. Get a grip (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lor @ #23582: V nice (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23581: very tricksy, very good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Steffen @ #8000: This was fun (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23580: Good grid. Nice herrings. Not too difficult (4 years, 10 months ago)

Steffen @ #583: Enjoyed it, probably because it was easy (4 years, 10 months ago)

RR @ #241: Bands should be allowed (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23573: Thanks for playing. Sorry if the states thing was too difficult. I did wonder. Maybe I should have chosen 1 or 2 easier ones (Mary, Wash, Miss...??). Maybe Americans would spot the link then! [I nearly chose WHAM for New Hampshire...!! 😄] And no self-marking! 😡 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23555: One note, for one categories I typed "presidents" thinking it would be an included keyword, but it was not. Otherwise, I liked it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Si @ #11597: Americium (4 years, 10 months ago)

Si @ #11953: He's a magician - he's an actor - he's a singer - he's a mime? I don't think so (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #23573: Was all going well until the ridiculous state category (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23578: A few problems. The boys names don't start with S. I typed "female" for the girl's names and it didn't work. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Stacy @ #23578: It was great a lot of fun (4 years, 10 months ago)

Stacy @ #23578: I really liked it (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23577: Quite enjoyed it. I managed to get two rows. I defy anyone to spot the films, I think that one is a bit of a stretch. However, good grid, and something different is always good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #23571: @daz It's a festival in the UK (4 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23577: I was just trying something different - I hope it was not too terrible an idea. If so, apologies (4 years, 10 months ago)

giggsy @ #23564: very... (4 years, 10 months ago)

giggsy @ #23573: Who gave this 5 stars? - I suspect a little self marking in action .... State category was impossible and daft. Otherwise an OK grid - thanks - 3 stars (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #2748: In this Magic Eye picture... I see a grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie @ #583: My cat enjoyed this grid. She completed it in 40 seconds with time to spare for grooming. She requests all future grids to exclude dog connections. (4 years, 10 months ago)

UBone @ #23549: Ultra category doesnt work... it goes after MK but before others. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dont Bother @ #23530: Butterface!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dont Bother @ #23529: Load of old rowlocks!!!!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23546: Yep, “fire ant” - google it! Quite straight-forward. Only Ant & Dec as red herrings! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #23555: Very enjoyable grid. I said renamed cities so I gave myself the points anyway :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23555: Nice grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23546: OK, Fire .. ant ? (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23548: Good tricky grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23524: Oh man, I made this and then immediately the next episode of Only Connect I watched had something nearly identical on the wall (The repeated title music question). I swear I hadn't seen that episode until just now. (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23508: Just to check, you realise my comment was tongue in cheek right?! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #23543: Unfortunately spoiled by tac which should be tack as well as being blu not blue as Puzzled points out. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ScarletFish @ #23548: You’re right about Villa/Palace! Glad you enjoyed it - thanks for playing (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tpin13 @ #23548: Really enjoyed this grid, so many crossovers, very clever. Villa and Palace seem like they could be interchanged which could be a bit overly tricky, though I lucked out a little. Overall liked the connections nothing was too obscure. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23533: not sure about the gem group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Boscar @ #23411: Fantastic grid for a first time. Well done. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23524: "Cage free" is often seen on eggs. (4 years, 10 months ago)

PobbleBonk @ #23541: Homophones was not accepted in the category matcher and is an acceptable answer (4 years, 10 months ago)

MY_EARS_HURT @ #23543: FROM ALL OF THE SHOUTING IN CAPITAL LETTERS!!!!!!!!! WHY ARE YOU SHHOOOOUUUUTIIINNNGNGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23543: Bit unfortunate to include tac as its prefix isn't spelled like the others. Great grid otherwise. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #23530: p.s. Should say by your own high standards (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #23530: Butterface is very poor Aetees - can't believe anybody actually uses this phrase - think you've let yourself down. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #23542: Some good cross overs (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #23546: Not bad (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23545: not bad (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17063: California isn't a country!!!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17067: good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17084: ''book'' one is nonsensical. ''out'' one has many right answers. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joe @ #23539: I didn't get this at all. I have no idea how currency links (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17086: stupid (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17235: fun (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17299: poor categories (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23539: debatable parts (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joris Bohnson @ #23539: Literally never heard of any item in the entire grid other than Fruit Salad. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #13152: Good fun thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23530: BUTTERFACE?? (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23524: Cage free doesn't really work. Not bad otherwise (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #10577: Enjoyed thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23541: bit tenuous (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #17174: Tough but fair (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #11942: Good one, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Liam @ #23520: Dani is the best 10/10 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dani @ #23520: 4 out of 10 not bad (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #11959: Enjoyed this thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #23542: Enjoyed this thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #23542: (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #23542: Enjoyed this thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Judpud @ #23516: Apologies, my first grid and I wasn’t sure how much detail to put in. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Get some perspective @ #23508: Decent grid btw! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Get some perspective @ #23508: I like how no one has actually answered what the downside of using another term is. People getting offended over others being offended....ridiculous! (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23539: I must admit I got sidetracked by trying to link Ferret and Arse with two other things you put in your trousers!!! I enjoyed the grid though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

vera @ #23513: this is a good good grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

JJ @ #23535: Excellent (4 years, 10 months ago)

G-stet @ #8387: Very good theme! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #23536: Good one. So many clever red herrings. (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23518: Okie doke.....noted (4 years, 10 months ago)

ann @ #1989: mistakes and stupid grid, what a waste of time. CHEQUE (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gumboot @ #23535: Quite clever. (4 years, 10 months ago)

NW @ #566: Joyous. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sophie B @ #23520: (4 years, 10 months ago)

MEDZ @ #23520: SMASHED IT (4 years, 10 months ago)

ann @ #10375: this is NOT how the grid works. that was utterly rubbish (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23520: very good bit easy but a great one for kids (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23525: I didn't really like the mishmash group- seems a bit undefined. The rest was really good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #23519: Enjoyed that, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sarah @ #23411: Nice one - lots of links, lots of red herrings, didn't get the Chaplin group at all but it totally made sense (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keeley @ #22426: How are we suppose to low rock songs (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23518: David Lloyd George's surname was "Lloyd George" not "George". (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #23526: Brilliant grid....loved this (4 years, 10 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #23525: Good grid, fell for the Spielberg route (4 years, 10 months ago)

n @ #12989: good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23501: A couple of those police terms are very obscure to most of the world! (4 years, 10 months ago)

birdbrain @ #23520: :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

tpin13 @ #23507: Nice, but the villages link was a little obscure I felt (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joe @ #23523: Nice , love the muse representation (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joe @ #23523: Nice , love the muse representation (4 years, 10 months ago)

tpin13 @ #23497: Very creative. Glad you had the Israeli one or that connection would have been impossible! (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23520: Nice one (4 years, 10 months ago)

tpin13 @ #23520: loved the connections :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23520: fun! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23521: Haha, I actually made the AFL connection, but I thought it must be wrong on an english quiz! Good overlap. (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23508: I agree with OSSIEP9. The key thing is context. Some people are far too keen to be offended and these people offend me! (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooClever @ #23466: @x , it is NOT a unique solution. Plus, things that are based on fiction are still relevant in connections, it is absurd that you think otherwise. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #20639: Less of GOT - please! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #23516: Too hard to type 'first word of...' which is what that group is? Not what you described. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Katee @ #4594: Way too specific (4 years, 10 months ago)

Grid Goof @ #23513: This is a really good grid. Nice range of categories, nice overlapping of categories, and only the organs are immediately apparent as a category. Worthy of Only Connect. (4 years, 10 months ago)

honeychile @ #23348: avoided grave by 9 seconds (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23155: Need to widen answers. Dr Who actors did not work nor did parts of snack names. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Simon @ #23508: Sorry about the offense; I only wanted as many words that meant "little" as I could in the wall. I've never heard of Tiny Golf - ABSOLUTELY would have used that if I'd known about it. I got my list from the wikipedia page of miniature golf, which doesn't include tiny golf. I hugely apologise if I have offended anyone, especially those afflicted with restricted growth. Hope it didn't ruin anyone's enjoyment of the quiz...! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23508: More than half of this grid consists of terms that could ostensibly be "used to denigrate people", in fact, an entire group is based explicitly on denigrating people, and yet you've picked this particular hill to die on. Get a grip and google "euphemism treadmill". (4 years, 10 months ago)

Radlinski @ #23375: Point taken re. Frozen. However, it WAS a December 2013 release, so qualifies as a Christmas movie in that sense. (The plot was lost on me...) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23505: Good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Radlinski @ #23375: Point taken re. Frozen. However, it WAS a December 2013 release, so qualifies as a Christmas movie in that sense. (The plot was lost on me...) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23499: IRONICALLY RSF had a number 1 and it wasn't that- it was deeply dippy (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #13352: Good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tm @ #23491: Agree with comments below. Fun, but not a puzzgrid. If you know the four writers well there’s no challenge or red herrings. Got it within 10s with no false guesses (4 years, 10 months ago)

Iversen @ #15113: Still magical! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23508: Not getting involved in whether it’s offensive or not, but I have never come across it in the context of the solution... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Only Correct @ #23516: I have now learned there is a Manchester Terrier! (4 years, 10 months ago)

WHY NOT TINY GOLF @ #23508: WHAT'S THE DOWNSIDE OF USING ANOTHER TERM WHICH HASN'T BEEN USED TO DENIGRATE PEOPLE? (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23478: Those categories could have been ANYTHING (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #23516: Very good. Took me ages to spot the Stones albums. (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23508: Top quality that one!!...I only got the Stars group..after that I was stumped!! As for the "offensive" allegation..I would just say to the accuser one word "context"...but we do live in strange times! (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23516: Cunning!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

WHY NOT TINY GOLF @ #23508: "Midget" is fairly offensive (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rubiksed @ #23375: A 10 second google search tells me that Frozen is set in the middle of summer (and I'm guessing has no reference to Christmas, therefore), so no, I don't see how it can be classed as a Christmas film. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #23394: Tim, it has to do with the meaning of Key. (4 years, 10 months ago)

DrPwy @ #23466: Thanks to everyone who played, I'm also grateful for the feedback. @Curious cat - I included just the letter "s" as one of the connectors, so I think it accepts any word with s in it. Maybe I should change that in future grids. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #23500: Very clever. I liked it (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23394: What on earth does the "precise answer" line refer to? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Y12 Maths @ #13420: Everyone is saying this was easy... we struggled :( (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23498: Good. Didnt know the connection relevance for any of the 'Academia' group (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23498: Hints: Group 1: LDS but not Tree Group 2: Nancy and Sidney Group 3: Bakewell but not Ripley Group 4: Chiffon and Madeira Note - make sure to come to the comments section of my walls if you want hints (4 years, 10 months ago)

VJ @ #23491: Fun literary quiz, but no red herrings. (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23494: Good job I noticed your flag or would never have got those Ford cars!!!..Nice work (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23497: Good work (4 years, 10 months ago)

x @ #23466: It is a unique solution.The 'dodge' group are all actual games played with balls. Harry Potter isn't real. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #23493: Nice. Tricky but fun. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bearcules @ #15175: This is bullshit! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Adrienaline @ #18436: I don't think this site offers the capability to fix this sort of mistake, as far as I know. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Suffolk Mum @ #18436: your answers to 'Synonyms for before' contain an incorrectly spelt word, i.e. 'formally' which means confirming to rules, ceremonial. The word you should have used is 'formerly' which means of the past or an earlier period. I see from the comments below - some from many months ago - that you have not yet corrected your error. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23486: Got 10/10 in less than a minute (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #23493: I liked this one although the Jane Eyre one I got confused and put Wuthering Heights so good red herring there to put me off! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23484: I hate myself for this I am such a pedant but- no penguins in the Arctic. SO doesn't matter! AAAAArgh! Trying to work out if that feels better! Good grid, by the way ;)- (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23487: The numerical group was a bit much to leap to- having non visible additions to words that change each time within the group makes this difficult, especially as they're not massively usual words. Very cleverly done but hard to play. (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23487: Getting the 'as a' group made me feel smart :) I think it should be 'bellows' not 'bellow' for the organ, though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23489: pure evil! I feel duped and not in a good way! Was feverishly trying to group Miss, Mrs and Mr and getting very frustrated. A little redness and fishiness help a grid but this was a whole herring tin!!!!!!! ;)- (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23490: didn't even spot the names after the grid resolved! The rest were easy, one hard line. Funny old mix (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23491: Disagree slightly with Puzzled- I usually don't like all proper noun grids but this one was great. Straightforward literature quiz rather than usual puzzgrid structure but I enjoyed it (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23491: perfect grid for me! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23492: great but really hard! (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23466: @Widger - Crossovers and red herrings in are grid are good. however not when it means there is not a unique solution. You appear to be missing the point. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #136: i didnt enjoy this one....apart from residents of Dublin who would now that??? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23460: Very difficult. And Indonesia is an archipelago, while the UK takes in Northern Ireland, so not really an island nation. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mickle @ #23296: Nobody eats a sprout, it's sprouts - if you can't make a group/x-over without cheating, bin it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23459: Easy to make but impossible to solve as there are too many possibilities to link up into the correct grids. You could add hundreds of permutations of letters to many of the words here to make equally valid rows, such as using: "ne" or "te" (4 years, 10 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #23490: Beau Geste was the first one that came to my mind. Good grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Chase @ #23490: Doesn’t really need too many red herrings as some Clues needed some mental working too. Also, Beau Bridges (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23486: Nee and Knee aren't homophones, but otherwise nice. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23143: Must've been very restrictive answers. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23488: Unfortunately, Violet (The Incredibles), Daisy (Duck) and Marigold (Hercules) are also Disney characters, and so are swappable with Flora, Tiger Lily, and Jasmine. Together with Rose being swappable with Violet, there are dozens of solutions to this grid that aren't accepted. Too many red herrings has brought it undone. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Wade @ #23490: Was there a single crossover/red herring in there or was the only difficulty down to the obscurity of the male names chosen? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #23139: The journey group and the combined group are both synonyms but neither acts synonym as an answer. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Frank @ #10577: Meh (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23484: The groups were clear from the obvious clues but this was made trickier by the inclusion of some more obscure clues in the groups which made for a fun wall (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dd87 @ #23490: On that basis, I'll retract. My own lack of knowledge doesn't make the grid bad :) Diddley is the only one of those people I've heard of though, so perhaps it's an age/location thing for me. The only Wades I know are in video games and movies. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23486: Great word connection! (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23486: I LIKE (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23490: Hard disagree with Dd87 here. I can think of one or two Wades, but half a dozen people named "Bo" off the top of my head (Derek, Diddley, Hopkins, Dietl, Biden, Obama (okay, he's a dog, but still)). It's a fine, fine grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23491: It's a nice grid, but a bit one-note. If you can spot the individual naming conventions you're good to go; otherwise it might get frustrating. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dd87 @ #23490: I'll reluctantly let Weighed pass (maybe it's more common where you are), but Bow is a stretch too far. Good grid besides that. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23455: Noice (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dd87 @ #23447: Understandable. I promise it wasn't an intentional misdirection (I only noticed after I'd submitted the grid) but not sure what more I could have done besides put every answer in all caps. No-one knows him by Albert, so it makes things tricky for me. Sorry for the confusion :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Jolly @ #23486: Nice boxes... (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23484: quite easy but nice, a bit different category wise than most (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23466: too simplistic (4 years, 10 months ago)

ben2937 @ #23484: fun but quite hard (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23483: Hooks don't really 'have' worms, a hookworm doesn't really fit the rest in that category. I like the 'sub' group (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23462: Some of the shades of green could also be in the green gemstones group as a 'true' answer so that's not a 'fair' crossover (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23457: reasonable (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23475: tricky in 3 mins (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23466: I agree with earlier comments too, plus the double vowel words don't all have the same vowel! Bit of work and that could be a good grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23476: Well for what it's worth I got Rose! As for prose I was out of my depth intellectually anyway so I can't criticise that one. And, again for what it's worth, I enjoyed it (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23468: Nonsensical categories (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23475: easy but one of your better ones. Proof you can do it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #1708: So clever and enjoyable. It's embarrassing how long it took me to spot the oxymorons. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Charley @ #8815: Poles works for "all called pole" Ties works for "all called tie" Flies doesn't work for "all called fly", which was just a little irksome. I didn't get the 'Words' one, so can't pass comment on that : ) A good wall though, despite my detracting from it. Very enjoyable. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #5890: Nice. Grids don't need to be impossible to be challenging. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Charley @ #566: Brilliant. A great idea to combine the two formats. A tip of the hat to you. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Charley @ #238: Very enjoyable. I also think you should accept 'synonyms' for Clone, Reproduce, etc ... But still an excellent wall. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Charley @ #3456: Excellent grid, very enjoyable. Point of order, Lead is not a transition metal (4 years, 10 months ago)

James @ #23476: Prose doesn't work as it needs the accent on the e to be the wine (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #23475: I enjoyed that one. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #23426: Just for the record, Elton wrote Philadelphia Freedom, Springsteen wrote Streets of Philadelphia but the legend that is Neil Young wrote Philadelphia (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #23464: It was fun, thank you!! (4 years, 10 months ago)

EEM @ #19: Accepts "anagrams" but not "anagram", oddly. (Not too worried about this!) Also, odd to include Jezebel as a term for young women. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bearcules @ #23475: As always from Aetees, a great board that is tricky and fun. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23475: I’d have thrown a hissy fit if I hadn’t got 10/10 on this one! Good fun... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23466: Agree with earlier comments. Also, I typed cushion for one group (the pin group) because I didn’t have a clue and it accepted it as correct?! (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23475: good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23476: Not sure prose fits and I’ve never heard of village in the context used. Not the most fun grid really (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #23475: Simple but fun!! Thank you (4 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #23461: Well put together, can't say I found it simple. A good grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #23373: Maybe a bit more variety would be good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23473: Hints: Group 1 - Rock Group 2 - Tucker Group 3 - Ramsay Group 4 - Willis (4 years, 10 months ago)

Abel @ #23430: Gibberish (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23442: I stand to be corrected, but Bath was surely named *after* its bathing houses? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22585: Two right two wrong. OK I was a bit slow today (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22589: Almost got confused with the planets, but once you got rid of the choc bars it was easy to sort out the rest. Good Quiz. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lionel @ #23457: Easy As Sunday morning (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23466: You can also swap Arm with Head, or Arm with Foot. Lots and lots of solutions here. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23466: Excellent. Crossovers or red herrings are the point. (4 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #23466: Too many close crossovers have made for a grid with multiple acceptable solutions unfortunately. E.g you can swap FOOT with HEAD - (as FOOT is a part of the body and HEAD BALL is a popular game/app) You can also swap FOOT with BLOOD - (as FOOT has double vowels and BLOOD BALL appears in Harry Potter) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23447: Nice, but it is a little unfair when the font makes a lower case "L" and a capital "i" identical! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23459: Excellently hard (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23458: Didn't get it even after looking at the answers. Oh, well. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23461: Nice, and relatively simple. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23441: - No no no, that, that bit about "Sweden" and "needin'". It rhymes, you see? - Very nearly, sir. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23457: easy but nice (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23442: The idea that baths were unnamed/possibly unheard of until the people of Bath invented them is hilarious. (4 years, 10 months ago)

vera @ #16925: great grid with good red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

cb @ #23453: I'm actually ok not knowing some of these...leaves the brain to fill with useful stuff. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #7206: The non-existent letters group foxed me. Nice one. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23450: Char not chat, that's an unfortunate typo that makes the line nonsense. Your 'parts' answer is inaccurate too (4 years, 10 months ago)

Second Lieutenant Viscount Basil Ignaceo Vulgarruffle-Bovinecurtain @ #23435: Elton John is a genius (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #10405: Very good grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23454: Ooooh..I like the present tense one..had me well beaten (4 years, 10 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #23448: Good grief...I'll try that again Aaaaagh....Worked out all the groups but the red herrings got me....good work 👍. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23454: good variety (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23426: Good Grid. For Info: Hadrian's Wall was built by the Roman army on the orders of the emperor Hadrian following his visit to Britain in AD 122. Like Widger, didn't get the frankfurter connection, I wrongly assumed that European cities would be enough for a point. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23452: Excellent grid, clever herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cho @ #1491: "Chinese Mandarin"? I don't think so (4 years, 10 months ago)

TBOYL @ #23454: I love it more than anything (4 years, 10 months ago)

Radlinski @ #23449: Hadn’t heard of 1 of the instruments, 2 of the bears and 3 of the actresses. But, thanks to a series of lucky guesses I got 10/10...!! :D (4 years, 10 months ago)

Stalag 17 @ #23448: Nice! So many combos to go through knowing you're on to the right link. Good one! (4 years, 10 months ago)

MJ @ #23430: Absolute rubbish. The Gabriel group is a joke. The prisons group are all in capitals so stand out. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23327: The UK PMs' wives' maiden names was expanding the definition of "obscure" to the extreme. Not good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23331: That "cold" line was pants. Maybe in one small part of the UK, but nowhere else. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23442: Badminton is misspelled, and bath does not pass the test for its connection. Otherwise OK, but not knowing the musical category made it impossible for me. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23431: complete opposite of chris I'm afraid- that was the worst group! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Legend Gary @ #186: Horribly difficult, but fair. I only got dogs and sisters... although I did get the Paper line but thought it was for a different (and stupid) reason. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23430: Not sure the Gabriel group is fair (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23426: Liked frankfurter connection. Didn't spot it. Not sure Hadrian quite fits it's group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23439: Liked the uni group . Chair group of ly just works (4 years, 10 months ago)

H @ #23408: Five stars for the mention of zig and zag! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23434: The stock group only really works if filé or okra is in it as they are very specific to that dish... without one of those two the connections for the four remaining ingredients are endless! (4 years, 10 months ago)

SF7 @ #23431: All the cities with famous bridges also have famous zoos so a little misleading (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23439: Typos and tenuous links (ok... really?) (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23434: Answers needed are too specific (4 years, 10 months ago)

Alij5 @ #23276: @vanillaal I'm very glad someone saw that! Yes, on purpose ;) @Puzzled you're right that she isn't the most typical explorer, but I felt she still qualifies as she was a pioneer exploring the skies and the limits of what humans can achieve. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23346: Yes, anime/manga is not mainstream. And chairs, tables, and unfortunate dogs, do not necessarily have four legs! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cross Country @ #23391: I enjoyed this one - especially Florence and the Machine, not cash machine (4 years, 10 months ago)

Frankie @ #23378: Another grid that is too random. Never heard of the shoe brands. Have never watched rick and morty. Or heard of the author. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Riggs @ #23371: Very poor (4 years, 10 months ago)

KB44 @ #23398: Loved it! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Adrienaline @ #23392: Is this just the one from last week on only connect? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23350: I thought the "blind" connection was stretching it a bit: two real people, one mythical figure, one a phrase/idiom/film (needing the word "blind", as well as the verb to be). (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23398: I agree (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23403: terrible groups and definitions. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #23399: @nighteyes I think Godfrey was a Tailor for the Army Navy stores. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23411: Excellent grid. Initially thought Chaplin group too obdifficult but on reflection it works. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23357: "Members of the Commonwealth" is far too broad a connection. If you'd replaced Malta with another African Commonwealth member that might have been OK. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23364: Indeed... we seem to be collectively getting a little sloppy on spelling. Always worth an extra check before submitting! ;) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23386: @Nighteyes -- I can just about understand never having heard of the green jacket if you're not into golf. But never having heard of a greenhouse is pushing it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23365: Accepting "sports grounds" would have been nice. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23371: Apart from spelling, you simply cannot have a connection of things that have not or are not something! That could be anything! My kettle "never won the FIFA World Cup". Neither did Malawi. Or Walt Disney. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23411: Brutal. So many red herrings, so good! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23375: Christmas is technically "The Feast of the Nativity". And Christmas *literally* is "The Mass of Christ". Xmas is used as shorthand because the X resembles the Greek letter chi, the first letter of "Christos" (and is reminiscent of a Cross). (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23378: Even without the "nights" screwup, a bit obscure. Have never heard of any of those shoe brands! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #96: yeah you cant get away with that Winds one sorry but nope. rest was good though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #95: ok but come on the last one???? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Katee @ #22163: Metaphor and so on are poetic devices (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #85: I like the puzzgrid ones, however just a little too easy. Good balance though. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Katee @ #1253: The book title was taken ffom a very old nursery rhyme! (4 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #23399: I immediately got the link, though it's probably because I just saw his episode of Bake Off. :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23409: If your clues don't fit, please don't mess with them by taking out spaces and such. When weird formats like this happen, the assumption is that they have some meaning, not that the maker genuinely couldn't think of any fitting clue. (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23402: Dorothy is not a princess also if we are allowing all past, present and fictional princesses that is far too broad a group (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #23386: Green house? Green jacket? Oh come on! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #23399: Tailor? Also, John Lithgow as a link is pretty obscure. It is not like he is the lead in those items. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Karen C @ #23395: 🤓 (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23384: Tough for someone of my generstion (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23398: People who died in 1984? Seriously (4 years, 10 months ago)

Radlinski @ #23375: “The Nativity” is synonymous with the birth of Christ. Christmas literally means “birth of Christ”. Sounds good enough to me... ;-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23403: I typed in "currencies" for the money group and "wrestlers" for the WWE wrestler group and it didn't give me it. Also, the name group was a bit of a broad category, and the Toy Story group also seemed too niche. Quite poorly done, if I'm honest. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23400: One of those letters does not exist (or rather is not spelled that way). Great grid otherwise. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #23401: It is at this time of the year (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23403: Groups could be much better defined, or at least fit their category more broadly. Three currency names and a very generally related noun really do not work. Also, they're!=there!=they. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23402: Hints: Group 1: Samantha & Carrie but not Miranda Group 2: Rose & Blanche but not Dorothy Group 3: Sofia & Charlotte but not Daisy Group 4: Emmet & Richard but not Violet (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23371: Agree with all previous comments + spelling needs correcting..... chocOlate! starRed! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23375: Nativity kinda means summat different to me. It`s just the birth or kids performance of it. I`ve never heard it used to name Xmas .The orginal event but not Xmas as a whole-not sure about that. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23382: Good one,enough confusing ones to keep me buzy! Can you add `Precious stones` to `Gems` though so we can get 10/10? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23371: needed some red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23384: Good grid. lots of good herrings for the tiger group. Was fooled by them but wont get fooled again. (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23377: Several groups which don't quite work. Songs group: the others are full titles whereas 99 is not Years group: why not put full numbers? Streets group: why not accept "roads"? Also expecting people to know things like Norwegian and Russian roads, most commonly guessed lottery numbers, or even the PM years is a bit harder than the Only Connect norm IMO. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Harrison, NY @ #23343: Places is too loose. If they'd have all been cities or all countries it would have been a worthy group. Chelsea Clinton was a desperate way to force a red herring. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #23371: I'm not sure the countries group works because nearly all countries would fit the theme, so that set of four doesn't give much to go on. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23369: You mean nephews of Donald Duck, presumably. He has either two or four cousins depending on author. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23371: This grid brought to you by the Daily Mail school of nutrition? The "solution" to the relevant group is (dangerous) nonsense. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Radlinski @ #23363: This is the same as #23365 - but with a different classification! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23373: Virtually identical theme used twice. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Radlinski @ #23365: Wembley misspelt. Apart from that, pretty good (4 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23375: Very sneaky! Fortunately, everything falls into place nicely after it the first group clicks and you realize the mild deception. :) Great grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23349: excellent red herrings and the theme for the moon group was well hidden in plain view and threw me! What a grid should be, great thanks! (4 years, 10 months ago)

lorna @ #23354: some overly specific information here for my taste I'm afraid. I would never guess that Dave was someone's nickname or group Nationality based one only one name (4 years, 10 months ago)

Blansey Pandips @ #23305: Thumb and Mars are very, very obscure bands. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Blansey Pandips @ #23310: Poo. Just Dance 2020 is played by maybe 12 people. Also you only capitalized those ones so it was instantly recognizable as a group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23367: COYS! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23331: @Blansey Pandips; you clearly haven’t spent any time in Liverpool: “it’s Baltic out there” is possibly my favourite scouse phrase! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Blansey Pandips @ #23319: Horrible. None of these are objective categories. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Blansey Pandips @ #23323: if one more person does the triangle/alerting/relating/integral category..... (4 years, 10 months ago)

Blansey Pandips @ #23331: Synonyms for cold? Never heard "raw" or "baltic" used, and the others aren't synonyms but more adjectives addended to cold. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Blansey Pandips @ #23337: Digest addict etc group could be a number of things. Very very vague connection. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Joris Bohnson @ #23352: a loon already is an animal (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #23343: Liked this a lot, Good effort (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22508: Pretty good better than the last one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22511: snow white and Cinderella were fairy as well as pantomimes. beef curry chicken curry ??? OK I might have been thinking of my tea when I saw this grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23319: Feeling pretty thick. I managed to get one group by pressing random combinations and didn’t guess any connections. That said, having seen the connections now I don’t even know what they mean! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22514: Really, No red herrings. Spaghetti, penne ect were all pasta?? And it's Elsa not Ella (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23333: liked the mister group. The inclusion of Barry in that group is a bit of a stretch though. nice Bee Gees herring (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dont bother @ #23319: Rubbish (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23032: An infuriatingly fun grid - I could see three of the connections but just couldn’t get the right combinations for two of them. The group containing Limehouse was right up my alley. For the fourth group, I obviously don’t spend long enough in the car driving round the UK! I think I could have spent all day and I wouldn’t have guessed that connection. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #68: really bad...starts with...pfft cube and dodecahedron have faces...so does a salmon....and a nephew..and a boy....they would just as well have fit...really not well thought through this one im afraid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Legend Gary @ #59: I'm another who fell into the "ports" trap. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ah but not @ #17689: clever (4 years, 10 months ago)

Legend Gary @ #3: Did polar solvents in school chemistry so was ok with that. Slightly miffed it didn't take "HHGTTG" as an answer, as the full name's pretty long and has many variations even in official media. But basically a great grid, if the easiest yet that I've found. :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #65: far far far too obscure...footlights???? who would know that??? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Legend Gary @ #48: Another who went for "___ Time" rather than "Nuclear ___" although I admit that the latter is a better fit and I'm kicking myself for not seeing it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Legend Gary @ #23032: Far too hard, I'm afraid. It took me three or four restarts to get enough time for just 2 groups and three links. I got presidents and bridges, and I knew another was P.M. constituencies due to Huntingdon and Sedgefield, but had no idea about the other two... was looking for stuff like Finchley and Witney. Motorway service stations completely threw me as I'd only ever heard of the one at Beaconsfield, and Donington Park made me think of heavy metal gigs or motor racing. I think having to disambiguate 13 place names at once is a bit harsh! But maybe I'm just rubbish at this. It's a good effort but just too hard for me I'm afraid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #64: My favourite so far, good balance and not too obscure. (4 years, 10 months ago)

V @ #22701: Who's Flash ********? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zinphad @ #334: Fun wall. Feel that breed leads to describing animals rather than children. (4 years, 10 months ago)

DJS @ #23323: Only issue: Portal isn't really a shooter. Otherwise, good fun. (4 years, 10 months ago)

DJS @ #23337: 'was is a cat i saw' is not a palindrome. (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23337: should allow "ion" as well as "ive" (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #566: Excellent grid and so clever. Very Only Connect (4 years, 10 months ago)

Dave2b @ #13037: Made me smile. Childish but bloody funny. Nice one. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23337: Shame there was more than one solution for one of the groups and a typo in one of the clues means you wouldn’t see the connection given that it is a word one. Just needed a proof read before being submitted (4 years, 10 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23339: Enjoyable, if identical to #23338! (4 years, 10 months ago)

m @ #2748: loved this one (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23337: Should be 'was it..' palace group quite few ways of expressing. Digest could also be ion. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #23337: ''pool'' is a BODY PART?? Also wouldn't accept London clubs (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23327: Thought the Wheeler and Booth group would be famous Tims! Very good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #8355: I enjoyed that one even though I was too stupid to spot the pan group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #1396: Very good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Uncie Herb @ #23329: Very good grid. I can see what Mr Tom is saying about treasure but I still liked that group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #10577: Ideal,tricky but gettable. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Uncie Herb @ #23336: 16 and 4 are interchangeable. (4 years, 10 months ago)

James @ #23323: Add in some red herrings to make it trickier. The groups are very obvious so it only takes a few seconds to complete without these in. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sir_roger_of_hammersmith @ #23336: This puzzle is brilliant. I love the cross-overs and red herrings. It was challenging but not too challenging. Cheers! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23267: Easy peasy! Nice to be right & get 10 sometimes.Enjoyed. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23271: Very biblical! Enjoyed. Didn`t get horsemen of Apocalypse. Never read that far!! :-D (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23306: Sorry Krista. I was concerned that lichen and moss were too different to go by a common name, because I looked them up and that was my impression? But I'm sure you know more about it. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Zander @ #23323: Good grid. Tricky but at least you stand a chance. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23275: Forgot their lead dingers dies-damn!Would`a gotta full house otherwise. It was good AliJ5. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23276: I NEVER get anagrams!! The SKY PUZZLED,first female airplane pilot to fly Atlantic solo.Good apart from anangrams(only kidding-they were too clever for me!) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23278: Enjoyed. Lucky I read a bit about Big Bang Theory thinking it was summat else the other day,cuz I don`t watch it. Good flexibility in Set-names -I put types of country/kingdom and it accepted.Nice one AliJ5 (4 years, 10 months ago)

zander @ #20661: nice one. can't believe i couldn't see the cut group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23279: No good if you don`t watch Joss whedon.And Mythical creatures could be added,plz (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23288: How did i fail so spectacularly?There was a whole set of red-herrings-words that sounded like letters-Pea,Eye ect. I was totally fooled and spent too much time on it. Nice one Mister Tom!! I see I wasn`t the only one :-D (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23294: Agreed Chris. I failed to get the last one. I was on the right lines .I went thru` those movie genres.How did I miss westerns?Pah! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23296: Xmas dinner-surely that couldv`e been added to make that set-name more flexible?! Otherwise good.Some languages spell it Anis,in English Anise as Mal says! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23306: I enjoyed it til I got to what I`m always complaining about.The flexibility of the sat-names. `Bryophytes Fungi` I said-utterly correct! INCORRECT!!?? It was `Things that grow on rocks`-Meh! Look things up,give us correct alternatives...please! It makes your grid so much better. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23309: I agree Peekay but enough in it to be a small challenge and enjoyable & enough red herrings and enough flexibility in the way the sets are described for it not to be frustrating.For example it accepted elements when it was noble gasses. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Lufthansaaaaa @ #23328: Green and Purple groups were fine, although 'y' functions as a verb there, but still ok. The other two groups, as noted below, have issues. Looking forward to your next wall. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23314: Damn-solved the grid easy even though there were planty of red-herrings -so no criticism. But couldn`t get the word one at the end-all I could think of was gas meter or meter-maid. Enjoyable anyway. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #23323: Good! I`m useless,I nearly always miss anagrams! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23329: Hmm. FUN, but Not convinced treasure is really a member of its group (4 years, 10 months ago)

Superrodan @ #23328: I have only just now gotten into Only Connect, but words being two syllables seems like a bit of a loose connection. Additionally, "theatre" is often spelled that way in America as well. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Foy @ #22983: the words still rhyme with each other - not necessarily rhyme with trees! (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23327: very tricky the political wives (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #23328: The "rary" category is wrong.... adding "rary" to Honour doesn't make Honorary which is the correct spelling (UK and US English) (4 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #23329: nice grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23311: The music elements scuppered me at the end. Heroes is definitely a killer A well-designed board, thanks. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Henry @ #23328: This is very hard. (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23323: Great mix and execution, a fun grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #23327: Complete guess with politician's wives, Booth was the only one I recognised. Liked "of duty" group, I must have said "dereliction of duty" in my head 20 times before noticing Call of Duty works as well. Great fun, good grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #683: Should accept small change for coins for the non-Americans but good grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23314: @MisterTom – I saw Ezra Pound for poet, hardy for tough, bottle for tough(ness) and I guess biscuit is close enough to a cake to tempt some folks :) (4 years, 10 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23314: Excellent grid (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23317: Obscure. Since when has jade been black? And 20+ years ago references to a dodgy-at-best UK TV show? Come on?! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23314: 4 lovely groups: maybe it's me but I still can't see any actual overlaps. Perhaps I don't know enough poets (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23322: cool grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23305: A bit "too clever by half". Going for obscure red herrings opens up to flaws like Galaxy being an obscure band, so it could swap categories with Mars, and so the solution isn't actually unique. (4 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #23308: Two small issues: the prefix category is weak - most adjectives can take that prefix. And Paine isn't actually a member of the category he's been put in. Otherwise, very easy. (4 years, 10 months ago)

ER @ #23318: Clever grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #57: Space bar? Public Bar? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #51: yeah agree that last one was way too obscure otherwise a good wall (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #48: good balance, slightly easy but fun. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #45: good but very easy (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #43: sorry but this was rubbish. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #42: too many alternative categories to make it enjoyable. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #41: should only be one or two crossover words, not whole groups. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #40: sorry but your grids are crap. far too specific and vague, ive tried a few. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23319: Pathetic! I'm geeky enough to know the attributes you're referring to, but no idea what the context is! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ER @ #23309: Enjoyable grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

ER @ #23314: Lovely grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Nick (not really) @ #23310: this reminds me of my wife i miss her dearly (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #17416: The point is that the actual connection to the Royals group is far too obscure, and people will quite rightly opt for the obvious connection. The group that is capitalised may as well scream "I'M A GROUP" and the first names group is an incredibly narrow category to expect people to categorise correctly. It's constructive criticism TENOMT, not nitpicking for the sake of it. Take it in the spirit with which its intended. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #23309: I'd say easy rather than medium, but enjoyed nonetheless (4 years, 10 months ago)

GG @ #23296: POOR SHOW (4 years, 10 months ago)

mattycr @ #6833: Thanks for all the comments, hope you enjoyed the grid. "Relations" is accepted but "relatives" is not, which was an oversight on my part. Unfortunately there is no way for me to go back and change the accepted answers :-( (4 years, 10 months ago)

Boscar @ #23288: Man, the shock when I put the last four letter homophones in and it was rejected. That took me a couple of seconds to recover from. Kudos on the great fake out (and on not having yet another grid with letter homophones as a group). Great work too on the crossovers - they all worked really well IMHO. All round excellent grid.

Daz @ #20: Silly (4 years, 10 months ago)

Grumpy @ #23305: Nice traps. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #23286: Pubs in Oxford? Rachel who? Aviation cocktail? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Virapondus @ #2053: Did not accept "famous whisky brands" - maybe because of the spelling of whisky? Although Jim Beam, as a Kentucky bourbon, would have an "e", the others are Scotch and therefore would not. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #23289: Got stuck looking for mushrooms!!!. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23263: Dear Tiger Lily, your puzzgrids are amazing but so difficult for the average puzzgrider. Please create some which are a little easier and more enjoyable for the numpties like me (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gavin @ #23219: Gutted that Burgess Hill wasn't correct! :D (4 years, 10 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23266: The most difficult puzzgrid yet. Couldn't find the connections even when the rows were sorted. Interesting to hear if anyone got more than a couple of points for this one. (4 years, 10 months ago)

mal @ #17442: WHAT WHY (4 years, 10 months ago)

Boscar @ #23206: I believe people learn from their mistakes. Clearly we're both capable of errors of judgment. (but at least there's the irony in my last post to enjoy). (4 years, 10 months ago)

Alij5 @ #23275: Drag resistance is what engineers try to do when they are designing cars and stuff, to make them go faster. Drag race is two cars in a line seeing who is faster. Drag n'drop is what you do with an icon on a computer, for example, when you move something to the trash. Drag suit is something swimmers wear while training, usually a ripped old bathing suit, to make them work harder. A race in a tight suit seems easy by comparison!

Bettlejus @ #23190: Watercourses and black were the first two I found. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Alabast @ #23173: I believe the Nike logo is officially called "The Swoosh". However, I agree with the other criticisms - the connections are far too messy, mixing anagrams, synonyms, and associations. (Though, I don't think it was THAT hard). (4 years, 10 months ago)

a @ #23239: Annoying quiz, but wanna help you do better next time. First off, the groups are super obvious. Not WHAT they are... but four animals with "S" on the end and nothing else has an "S"... four short words which probably combine with other words... four character races... there's no overlap among the sets (exception: actually "Giant" could be in the fantasy set, but clearly isn't if someone knows Tolkien; and humanS could have been in the primate group). I got the groups first guess in a few seconds. Try putting in red herrings or at least including things that look like they might go together. Second: the Tolkien group is too specific in what you want. Yeah they're all in Fellowship of the Ring, but they're also all in The Hobbit, Two Towers, and Return of the King, not to mention any generic fantasy setting which imports hobbits (most of them don't, preferring terms like "halfling" or "kender", but there's hobbits in Fighting Fantasy for example), and they're all playable races in MERP and (I think) LOTRO. At the very least you should be accepting "tolkien", "race" and "fantasy" as links. Having "giant" and "red" (which are types of panda/followed by panda) with "car" and "pop" (which are products called panda, or preceded by panda) is too far from a real group in my view - it needs to be either preceded, followed, types, or products. The movies group is OK but very obscure from my POV. But that might just be because I don't know movies. To make it better, you could for instance have included more fantasy races. Put in "orc" or "troll" for instance. Then move some of them to other groups. e.g. you could have had an animals group with a "dwarf" species (hamster, rabbit...) or put "troll" in an internet group, or "man" (Tolkien's term) in a word group (things which can come after "fire" or "post" or before "kind", etc). Or put "human" in the primates group along with three others. Make a couple of them obscure species we're less likely to have heard of, or something like "Neanderthal" which could be in the fantasy or the movie group. Then find a film which goes in one of the other groups and build the film group around that (including or excluding it). For example "gorillas" is the first word of "Gorillas in the Mist" and "Gremlins" is a movie title but also a fantasy race. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rish @ #23160: China is the 4th biggest country, Australia is 6th fyi (4 years, 10 months ago)

Azibobo @ #23143: No such game show as 1-2-3 (3-2-1 is ok ). Nobody uses ‘St’ to denote striker in football. Very poor grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

John @ #23158: It was great (4 years, 10 months ago)

Gurli Margrethe @ #573: Very difficult, but good. (4 years, 10 months ago)

robram @ #23143: No real difficulty involved - needed more red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

NB No2 @ #23138: Hello Bloss, you beat us here but not at rugby (4 years, 10 months ago)

NB No2 @ #23160: Fiendish! But then I am thick (4 years, 10 months ago)

bumblebee @ #23153: No clue about this as I don't care about football, but just saying that it's Stuttgart (double t, I happen to be from there) and I guess Nuernberg or Nuremberg (if you want to go with the americanized spelling). The only connection I saw was miss-spelt place names :-) (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #23101: Great grid! I liked the themes, but got ‘U.S. Cities’ wrong for red group? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Alansioux @ #17272: Good grid. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23143: Allowable answers for groups seems to be very limited. Not any real red herrings (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23147: Hadnt heard of 3 Musketeers (4 years, 10 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #23135: quite easy but good fun, thanks (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #23140: Nice themes, nice grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Thiago Silva @ #23125: Best grid I've seen (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rish @ #23147: 10/10 with 30 seconds left :D Enjoyable grid, lots of good overlapping distractions! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Widger @ #23152: Nice red herrings. Rug might not really fit in its group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #23131: not the London underground again! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22831: good one (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23132: Never heard of prefab sprout! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Turnip @ #23131: I like these grids! Well constructed, tough to do... I didn't get any of the groups until the end, only got two connections! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23135: good overlapping in this grid! I knew the groups but couldn't narrow down at the end. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23136: A nice grid, so chuffed I got all ten points. Just a word of advice, words that share the same pronunciation are called homoPHONES. Homonyms are words that look the same but mean different things. (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23136: brilliant grid! I loved the square group. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #23131: I hate ones like this, bout as interesting as a potato, with little thought on diversifying the connections (4 years, 10 months ago)

Sandy Crill @ #23124: Spiffing grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Keir H @ #23129: That was so irritating, I knew all the groups, I just couldn't connect them. That was very well done. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Paul @ #583: A little disappointed the cassette player wasn't accepted as link (4 years, 10 months ago)

demsley @ #23101: Great set (4 years, 10 months ago)

K A @ #9646: A bit too easy especially with the Beckham children AGAIN! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rish @ #6833: Annoying that relatives or relations not accepted (4 years, 10 months ago)

Rish @ #23118: Decent but the glee category is just ridiculously hard to get, means you need to get the others exactly right to even have a hope (4 years, 10 months ago)

:) @ #23116: Figuring out the reason for the 'Ajar' category is rough. But all in all, it's a nice grid, tricky. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Hmm.. @ #23119: I can promise you no one has heard of Balch. I'm in California and I've never ever heard it mentioned. Beyond obscure. Makes that category hard to figure out -- the others were decent. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Stalag17 @ #23052: Sorry! I wrote the longer forms assuming shorter forms would be accepted. (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23104: spiders aren't insects... (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23116: fun grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

bloss @ #23117: cool grid! (4 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #23027: Dodgy in several ways... "vestment" is a cover-all description of "clerical garments". Long or not. And that description wasn't accepted. A "spy" is not a double agent. All had to do with "espionage", which wasn't accepted. (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #6: shockingly awful (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #3: apart from the polar group it was good. Polar solvent??? (4 years, 10 months ago)

Daz @ #23117: Very good (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23117: Nice. Kit was a bit confusing because it doesn't follow the pattern. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23075: Good Grid, but found it very difficult. Apart from the Doctors, nothing else seemed to be making any connections. Well done! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23077: Excellent Grid. Kicked myself for not spotting the hidden capitals. Good grid! is absolutely correct in pointing out that "Card Sharp" is perfectly valid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #23114: I like that! Different to most (4 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #7120: How old are you? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grid Goof @ #23107: Thank you for your kind feedback, glad you enjoyed it. Dropped the ball on Harold/Woodrow Wilson, can a submitter edit a grid after submitting? (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23107: Enjoyable puzzle. Tarantino was the killer for me. Well done, good deception. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23093: Very good but tough. I thought of the Beano but couldn’t get the right combination. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23088: Great mix of topics (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23099: This is brilliant. Knowing about the silly-sounding browsers already helped matters. Very well done, Anne. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23102: Nice going but there are multiple solutions due to s+wine also being valid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oldie @ #9449: Not bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

zinethebot @ #14567: Very fun grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

TryHarder @ #23102: Pretty easy the category with 's' was interesting and difficult to find and made the other ones harder but overall not challenging. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nehemiah @ #22737: pasta with some cheeeese "amazon..." "...board" CEOs Comedians (4 years, 11 months ago)

zinethebot @ #22737: Great quiz. Really fun and not too challenging (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dr Smartarse @ #23103: No Matty, but it did accept oceans. (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #23102: nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pseudonym @ #23100: I think insect is not supposed to be in the spider category, nevertheless, tough yet enjoyable quiz. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #23103: didn't except oceans ???????, fun grid though (4 years, 11 months ago)

NB No2 @ #23016: The maker of this wall has great Cairngorms knowledge! (4 years, 11 months ago)

NB No2 @ #23073: Barely 11 years old so I think a great effort (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23090: Categories are fairly ill-defined, and yes, the "West" clue is nonsense. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #23052: "Queen" and "project" were both rejected. Poor. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #23073: "Dog breeds" not specific enough? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #23085: 'Sleipnir' not 'Sleepnir', but other than that, very good grid. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stalag 17 @ #23087: Nice one though didn't get the comics. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stalag 17 @ #23052: Sorry you didn't enjoy the grid. That said, Munich does fit the group connection. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stalag 17 @ #22982: Glad you liked the grid despite that! I had hoped 'Luther' would have pointed players in that direction (aside from being a red herring for the TV detective grouping). (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #23087: fun one (4 years, 11 months ago)

ZBJ @ #23087: Nice one! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Helles @ #12552: Homophones not homonyms (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #17376: An obscure American singer, an even more obscure American wrestler, and a football coach? That does NOT count as general knowledge. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17727: NONSENSE TIME WASTER (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #2661: H unit is correct, hoarse and horse are not homophones. The vowel sound in hoarse is like "oar" - the thing you row with. The vowel sound in horse is "or" - the word for an alternative. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17728: easy,fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17736: Janiebelle that IS how you spell miniscule. The others were incorrect though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jennifer @ #22971: For the first connection I put DC as in DC comics which should have been an acceptable answer and the second lot the magician is not a circus act but an entertainer so the connection should have been entertainers. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #23081: Your categories ALL need sorting (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #23089: Washing powders! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #23090: The West ( ern) wall wasn't named after a person, your other categories want TOO specific info, and ''mad'' monarchs is just offensive. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #4747: U2 songs is a bit obscure. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #5890: I don't agree with Bloomy. Some niche bands and writers count as specialist knowledge, but the Beatles and Agatha Christie fall into the category of General Knowledge. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #9687: Reasonable general knowledge can be expected, but how can anyone be expected to have heard of Cebu Pacific? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Curious cat @ #23078: Not sure it is much of a group when the connection is presented to you (4 years, 11 months ago)

JRS-002 @ #22872: not the London underground again *sigh* (4 years, 11 months ago)

Atticus @ #22872: 'Banks' and 'flash' a little obscure. Interesting to have two of the categories clued by entries in other categories. I wonder if anyone can make a puzzle where all 4 categories are clued in this way? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #23085: Very good. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23085: Very enjoyable, thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #23077: Tough but fun grid - card shark needs work, but the # had me stumped, thinking of a hashtag! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #23085: Great grid, challenging and fun! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #23086: Good fun, Cheeky red herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22961: Please allow in future LOTR as a shorthand! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22973: Those anagrams were fiendish! (4 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #23078: I'm not sure what your definition is Mickle, but they have all had multiple leading roles in movies and/or TV shows so that doesn't seem to be a problem. That said, it is still a weak grid category for obvious reasons. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #23078: I think the phrase 'famous actors' is being stretched beyond all recognition here. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #23062: You get 5 stars for Rubber Johnny alone! :D (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22367: Weatherwax!? I expected some Witchy or Pratchett clues in this one. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22378: Too TV centred though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #23030: I found that really hard! Even though I got a couple of lines my group names were out. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #23052: Why are these set description always so limited?Not just this one, so many of the grids. Female leaders/Queens-same thing to me-for egs. Yeah Munich was rubbish,could`ve had university. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17779: daft but fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #23063: Ooh you tricky bugger! I got Stan but forgot Miles. Nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

RejectedSam @ #22983: Rhyming isn't really a good category to do. Good otherwise though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #23069: nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #23070: not sure about the EU clue, a bit obscure. (4 years, 11 months ago)

RejectedSam @ #23046: Good quiz! In addition to what "a" said above though, it's worth noting that the Canadian province is usually called Nova Scotia instead of New Scotland even in English. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dude @ #22927: ‘Nationalites’ Not allowed. Really! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Allysmummy @ #23073: Quite fiendish. Hope you know your geography! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23073: Really? Looked like 4 entirely distinct categories to me (4 years, 11 months ago)

NB No2 @ #23073: Great grid well done noisy boy (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #23063: Ok cheers! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #23063: Stan - Dorothy's husband Miles - Rose's boyfriend (4 years, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #23070: Fab (4 years, 11 months ago)

eagle @ #23041: nice grid! harder than medium but 5 stars! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22978: League is not a term meaning "to socialise"! It might be somewhere where you *do* socialise, but it's surely not even a verb in anything other than a very formal meaning, quite the opposite of socialising?! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23052: Seconding Ten. Munich does not fit. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23062: The "puppy" group is extremely obscure... (4 years, 11 months ago)

a @ #23046: good quiz but needs more leniency with categories, it wouldn't let me have "royal" or "crown jewels" for the monarchy set or "coins" for the money set (4 years, 11 months ago)

a @ #23051: Utter, absolute = stark bald blunt sheer? I've hard "stark" (stark raving mad) and "sheer" (sheer folly) but never the other two. There's "bald-faced cheek" but that's a longer phrase and means "undisguised" not "absolute". (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ten @ #23052: Munich doesn’t begin with Uni (4 years, 11 months ago)

bOb @ #7065: Dump group for red herrings is a bit rubbish (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #23056: Ironically, the hiker category is far too niche. Good/hard grid otherwise. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #23024: Would`ve been better if they ALL just had missing vowels.; (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #23025: Just as well we guessed the spelling error wasn`t deliberate! Good puzzle though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #23034: "All contain Queens!" made me laugh :-D (4 years, 11 months ago)

CellBlock @ #23051: Love the Avengers/superhero red herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DaveR @ #23048: Hard one but then I am a bit slow (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #23051: A fun grid. Didn't get the footballers but the other groups fell into place. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sandy Crill @ #23034: Ace! Best grid yet. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Simon C @ #23048: Got the groups pretty quickly, though like Martyn, I thought Stan, Ike, Wendy etc were Turners. I missed the fact that Wendy could also be a house, so that made finding the green group a bit easier. (4 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #23055: Nice grid, enjoyed it! Somehow got the Diane set but no idea on the connection! Doh! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Martyn @ #23048: 7/10 - missed one of the links - thought Stan/randy/ike/Wendy were all Turners... (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23054: This is fine for the sports fan. Countries a bit loose and easily eliminated though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

delamorinierejh @ #23014: Full of delicious herrings - bravo! (4 years, 11 months ago)

jsjules @ #23048: Got it in record time:) (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23012: @ Sulu - heylo, I picked Drake instead as an adventurer-explorer distraction, the others being Polo and Fogg. (4 years, 11 months ago)

az @ #23020: Shite (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sulu @ #23005: Nice grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sulu @ #23012: Shouldn't it be duck not drake? Italian cities tricky. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #23040: Enjoyable, but the definitions are maybe a bit too specific and narrow. The Uranus group for example are also all Roman gods. I was no where near the Berkeley group but that's just my own lack of knowledge. Other than that, tricky but good. (4 years, 11 months ago)

chervil @ #23022: a bit dodgy (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #23027: Really enjoyable and I liked solving it. 10/10 for me. Ta. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sandy Crill @ #23027: I think it's a good idea to put synonyms of each other for the spy etc one as guessing double agent isn't obvious. Great wall though :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

jelo @ #23030: at least accept upside down. the exact terminology is not known to everyone even though i found all the connections i got 6 points (4 years, 11 months ago)

Charlie @ #22997: Nice tester! I knew the links to three of them but ran out of lives before getting the 4 groups. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23025: Inventive, certainly. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22954: very nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22957: ok but...pink pound??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #23030: Swims group was new and clever. The rest... straightforward (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22982: apart from the overly vague singers group, really good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22983: it doesnt matter if it says your answer is incorrect as long as you know. Its not like its recorded anywhere lol. Good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23002: good (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23003: really good! but where is the grid i submitted yesterday??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #23016: It's not all of us live in the UK, let alone such specific parts! (4 years, 11 months ago)

MrSunshine @ #22486: Where are generally agreed rules online plz? some will expect perfect grids everytime from all people. nitpicking comes a load easier than enjoying & praising effort smtimes based on some messages on here (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #22271: Agree with Z (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23019: Showerhead??? Allstar??? WTF is this... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22558: Duos but not couples? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23019: worst silliest one yet....Allah and 0 are palindromes??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23016: way to specific...... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23024: ?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #23025: easy and has a spelling mistake (Black) otherwise good puzzle. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stalag17 @ #23006: Hopefully was still fun to do...maybe the tyson link is too specific... (4 years, 11 months ago)

bummy @ #6833: relatives is correct (4 years, 11 months ago)

bumface @ #6833: relatives is correct (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #23016: Got it completed but might have been lucky. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #23025: Blacl? Oh dear., (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nivag @ #23019: All star don’t get it (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mansoor @ #23024: This version is shit (4 years, 11 months ago)

No. 3 @ #22974: Brilliant another noisy boy classic (4 years, 11 months ago)

No. 3 @ #23016: Brilliant puzzle but too hard for my simple brain (4 years, 11 months ago)

Trixie @ #583: Nice re herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #23024: nice idea - dont think the Fabu group is One Direction (4 years, 11 months ago)

Trixie @ #10577: Some nice red herrings to make you things (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22457: Easy Peasy. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22480: Def Omegaman ! Synonyms of regal wasn`t accepted!! I wuz done. Otherwise good :-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22486: Are doubles against the rules then? As long as you can put either one in either of the groups it belongs in why does it matter? (4 years, 11 months ago)

cb @ #23019: Grow up. (4 years, 11 months ago)

moi @ #4892: a joke?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

moi @ #4889: good intention here, but too many spelling mistakes or wrong traductions of words (4 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #23017: So many problems. Allah and Alaska are not palindromes. I have no idea where you're going with the "Ranger" line. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #23013: Very interesting grid and enjoyed very much. However, couldn't sort into rows as there are too many variations and red herrings. Once sorted into rows, fairly straight forward. The row involving numbers to the power of 4 was difficult as they were not in a sequence and also you cleverly included a power to zero. Well done! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Taymoor @ #22976: Particularly liked that you got a team surname in there (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #23004: Very nice! (4 years, 11 months ago)

wabby @ #22983: rhyme? v. poor (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22957: Nice! Good Red Herrings-those big cats were everywhere! Did it but it took all but 7 seconds! (4 years, 11 months ago)

papier @ #23004: This was an enjoyable grid! Thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22960: Me neither Joe !? And equally the purple group are all compound words. And Medicare is just a company name another`care` word such as carer or scared would be better. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr turnip @ #23012: Nice and difficult, plenty of red herrings.... I was looking for a motorcar connection! The Italian towns had me stumped. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22976: It was good,good sets,good red herrings, but,as is so often the case the descriptors of the sets aren`t up to the job. The green set ARE Scool tools.The blue set ARE 1 half of famous duos. I don`t know HOW you make these more flexible but some grids manage it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #23006: I only got the World leaders group. I knew boxers were in there but didn't find the Tyson connection. Tricky one. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22983: Enjoyed but the way the rhyming words get described needs extending.My "rhyming words all spelling `ee` differently" should have been correct. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22999: Someone had their classics book open! :-D (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #23002: Nice grid, but the accepted answers for the royal families could be broadened a bit - I put 'dynasties' which got marked as incorrect. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sandy Crill @ #22974: Add mushrooms to tags? (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #9875: we are pretty cheesed off it didn't accept water (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #2296: world class puzzle! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #22978: not sure about League - socialise - but nice biscuit red herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

bumblebee @ #1942: I said 'blackadder' the sweets one (had no clue, stab in the dark) and it was 'correct'? :-) But otherwise really nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jime @ #22975: Good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22213: Didn't quite crack it in time but good links. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22220: Liked this one. I ran out of time but got all the links eventually (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22560: So why is "bases" an irregular plural noun? Base - bases. Seems pretty regular to me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22975: a bit too specific (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Turnip @ #22977: Nice grid. Had “measures” on the green group, was incorrect (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22976: good (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22978: bit dubious but ok. Rich Tea and Nice aren't biscuit brands though they are biscuit types. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Daz @ #22989: Silly (4 years, 11 months ago)

JP @ #22989: This makes no sense! (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22970: Nope, never had a clue here. I thought about Matthew at some point but didn’t know enough of the names to fare any better beyond that :( (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22978: a lovely puzzle (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22584: The letters connection was way too random. If it had been last letters in different alphabets, sure. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Boop @ #22935: I wouldn't say too specialised. But perhaps too narrow: bags, and coats, and boots. It's always fun to have some variety in the groups. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22977: Good sitcom knowledge. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22974: Fun one but requires some arcane knowledge. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22976: Fun grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22971: A bit too easy. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ali @ #22977: (4 years, 11 months ago)

ChippyD @ #7697: OK grid. "corner states" is obscure - not many red herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #22960: I don't get the jack one (4 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #22958: Turkish police?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only me @ #6833: Relative not accepted for uncle aunt ... group? (4 years, 11 months ago)

joe90 @ #22974: I love the references to Willo the Wisp! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dingo @ #1396: Nice. Couple traps, but general knowledge (4 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #22978: League?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

CitrusGang @ #22922: Great one! (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22976: good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

delamorinierejh @ #22976: There were some very tasty herrings in this grid - great stuff! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #22961: Nice herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22971: Quite an easy grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

wabby @ #22960: includes care, really? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #21831: One of the worst quizzes I've ever seen (4 years, 11 months ago)

chervil @ #22950: too quirky (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #184: Good one. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22961: Very good, fun grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #184: FANTASTIC PUZZLE! (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #3712: too many red herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22948: Most entertaining grid I've played in a long time. More please (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stevie D @ #22961: Really enjoyed this grid, one of my favourites for sure. Cheers!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peter Batchelor @ #96: Excellent. Well-balanced grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #22947: Yes - fair criticism! I tried to have too much overlapping :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22587: Enjoyed it, but didn't manage the "minor arcana", because: what a load of rubbish. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22588: But "flaming" does make the whole puzzle unsolvable... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cara @ #20048: Bonus stars for the words misspelled by the idiot trump. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Winters @ #22924: Agree with Brodiefish, with the addition that the celestial bodies group should also accept deities. (Also, it seems really odd to have a grid that requires overly specific connections for some groups, but that has one group (gold) with an unusually loose connection). (4 years, 11 months ago)

JRS-002 @ #17825: fun one (4 years, 11 months ago)

JRS-002 @ #19217: it's a gas ;-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dude @ #22894: Poor clue mixing Charlie and the other ‘Buckets’. Doesn’t look like you enjoy criticism. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17821: nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dude @ #22897: Agree with the comments here. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17825: oh THATS a nice grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17862: Maybe TOO many Georges, but a very nice grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kel @ #2867: . (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22534: What`s Bor?(apart from a town in Serbia thatonly a few Serbians will know) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22536: Easy peasy! BUT the group/set names need more flexibility . They ARE synonyms,they ARE OLD film stars. Some grids seem to be able to do this and some not. I shouldn`t critize really I`ve never made a grid,but is it hard? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22954: easy but nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22539: 10/10. Fun grid! I may have got it right but there were still some good red herrings & it took me a while to spot the body parts too. :-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22601: Actually I take it back, this is great and I'm a big whiney pussy ass bitch (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22555: I thought`the rules` was quite clever-it IS always on a card, but I`m with you on bands Omegaman :-( (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22935: NOT TOO specialised. No more specialised than footballer names or characters from a movie! What I really like was that I put `bags` and it didn`t say wrong,I put `Riding wear` and it let me have that. Now why can`t they all work that way!? :-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22936: I can only rpt what James and Mal say! And ministries can`t be depts?! (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22951: Got them all so cannot be classed as difficult !!! A good varied grid with no celebs or Harry Potter !!!!!!!!!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22954: Got them all, so can't be difficult ! Enjoyable and no mention of celebs or Harry Potter, well done ! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Alan @ #8403: nice one (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #12552: too many for chess (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #8403: awesome puzzle! (4 years, 11 months ago)

matt and emma @ #1396: bloody stupid! can't have 6 chess pieces! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #22935: Idk tom, i'm a man that wipes his hands on his jeans and still got them. (4 years, 11 months ago)

wabby @ #22954: no challenge at all (4 years, 11 months ago)

MariaTheDog @ #22954: A bit easy, but overall an enjoyable grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

LINDA @ #15868: NICE EASY ONE! (4 years, 11 months ago)

LINDA @ #566: GOOD ONE !! (4 years, 11 months ago)

HanoiDave @ #22478: Love this..7/10 (4 years, 11 months ago)

LINDA @ #238: VERY GOOD WALL - ENJOYED IT (4 years, 11 months ago)

Virapondus @ #11365: Cazza - string the words together as "rightfully" and "inbox" and it makes sense. Took me a while. (4 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #22936: Should be spelled 'Jane Grey', not 'Jane Gray' (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #1946: Wonderful grid with excellent misdirection (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22947: Said "dances" to the third grid and was marked correct when the answer is "3 a's" ?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #22921: A good grid, too hard for me though, the River line was especially clever. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Yeldir @ #22947: Is unique solution if you change that to contains 3 a's and no other vowel. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Alan @ #12159: fun grid, thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

blankdomaerofoil @ #12159: Yes (4 years, 11 months ago)

blankdomaerofoil @ #22947: Yes, the grid categories were too interchangeable. (4 years, 11 months ago)

dom @ #22737: Good grid. Nice and fun. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Alan @ #19217: Woah, something a bit different! it looked impossible at first but somehow it all fell into place (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22923: Fine if you accept "Bar Bar" is a thing, or if you are a Phd in Chemistry or Astrophysics.......otherwise not so much (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22947: you can swap salamander and aardvark over and the grid answer still works, therefore there is not a unique solution. blnt (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22601: A bit samey, with just the one idea... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22603: Tricky, and dubious, with the two seven connections. Also, how is "leech" a synonym for "doctor"? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22604: Not all sweet potatoes are orange. In this part of the world they tend to be purple. (4 years, 11 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22937: Enjoyed that one. Agree that cule isn’t a standalone word - but if it hadn’t been in there I probably wouldn’t have got that group! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22608: Too much G&S! And lion, kingfish as terms for people? New to me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

tom @ #14589: but what is major major major? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Brodiefish @ #22924: The board itself is mostly pretty good, but the requirements for the connections are way off. There shouldn't be a required element of the clue that is not necessary for the 4 entries in the row to form a coherent group - e.g. the "elements without etc etc" should just be "elements." and the "planets without a circle" should just be "planets". It makes no game sense to add in superfluous requirements in the connections. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Terence Perring @ #10577: Great stuff, stumbled across this (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22933: too clever for me (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22934: Yikes. Only got the numerals. It’s an orthographer‘s dream for sure but too fiendish/narrow for me. Great to see unorthodox approaches to grids, keep it up. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22933: Excellent! You had me chasing “_____ meal” for a wee while. I love the elements vs Marvel interplay. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22939: Tough but fun! Spotted the Pixar link with seconds to spare having fluked the film group. Never seen them, I prefer Bette Davis personally ;-) #feud (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22942: Nicely done, I’m content with 6/10 here. Slug tripped me up, I’m lost when it comes to rap. Good job. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22873: Wholly accepting the criticism below, I made dubious decisions in both content and formatting. Happy to bin it, forget it, and certainly learn from it. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22937: @ minnie – yup, just a lonely suffix without its prefix – hoping it didn’t distract too much. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22935: I wouldn't call saddle or duffel bags ladies handbags. (4 years, 11 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #22935: Nice : D (4 years, 11 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #22937: Cule doesn't really work as a standalone word (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22935: seemed to work for me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22936: Really? You all got the bird group? Nah. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17924: Who's gonna know the Uni link?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

eMOw @ #22873: Red herrings, first and foremost, have to fit into the group that you put them. Adding formatting that's inappropriate doesn't make something a red herring, it just makes it wrong. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Patricia Jones @ #583: CD player should be a right answer for pause eject etc (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #17989: Crossbreeds should be allowed (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22936: It's only ever ladyfingers in plural (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pret @ #22889: Yeah Saracens is a red herring for the rugby club group. Sale (Sharks), a rugby club from Greater Manchester gives a clue to the sale group. Clever but very UK-centric. (4 years, 11 months ago)

hara aliecha @ #3646: ben zona (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22611: "Comedians" doesn't work?! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Egg @ #22929: Great grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #22923: I think very few people other than astronomers could possibly know the specific link for the 3rd group. Group one also extremely specific, and as noted 'bar bar' doesn't work - if you're thinking of the rhyme that would 'baa baa' (as would the Barbarians rugby team nickname). (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #22935: Rather too specialised - if you're not really into clothes or fashion (like me) you're a bit screwed. Better to have some variety so people are more likely to have a way in. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22936: Solved quicker than expected. Enjoyable variety and excellent intertwining, especially Gondor! (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22936: nice sensible grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22169: Great wall but quite easy . (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22182: Good quiz Cod fish??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22185: I always say biscuits, to me cookies are American! I ran out of time but got all the links correct (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22195: Got these clues quite quickly but I must have been asleep on no 2 I just couldn't see the link!!!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #22931: Ok. Not sure about Y group. Didn't accept injure. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22637: Sorry, but the red line just doesn't work. And the 2 Mels of the Spice Girls (hello, 1997)... not really. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Andrew @ #10405: I don’t know why you needed to include le Pen and Palin, two dangerous, far right figureheads who don’t need any additional publicity (4 years, 11 months ago)

Andrew @ #10405: I don’t know why you needed to include le Pen and Palin, two dangerous, far right figureheads who don’t need any additional publicity (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22657: I'm not sure "gemstones" is correct (i.e. jade). They are semi-precious. Which probably should have been accepted! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22667: "Angle" not accepted! And "ill behaviour"? A bit of a long bow. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22670: I'd agree - too samey. And "Army tank" (or "Tank army")? Not a phrase in common usage, at least in the last five decades. Simply a Tank. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22671: Had never heard of Hunters Chicken. (For below,) popcorn chicken is a deep fried preparation of diced and battered chicken. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22681: Hadn't been thinking about Karl's famous description! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22683: Not sure if it's quite fair to have Rihanna in there, as most of us have never heard of her surname. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22686: Vienna is surely not in the Alps? There is a nearby region called "The Vienna Alps", but that doesn't work with your connection. Freeview (one word) is not a channel, but still works-ish. Names from "Dance Moms" is way too obscure. Who's even heard of the show? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22687: I'm still not convinced that "bang" is truly onomatopoeic... Would also be interested to know where "re" (by itself) is a term for king. Do you mean rí? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22688: NY suburbs doesn't work? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22689: NATO should be OK for the phonetics. The Apprentice, current? What? In which country? And who cares? Pity someone looking at this in more than a month's time... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22692: Are you certain Borscht has no rhymes in Russian? You can't really include non-English words in this category. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pip @ #22929: I never knew that (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18076: nice and tricky, fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22694: Inventive, but "Hey Jude" does not work in most of the English-speaking world. At all. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22695: I struggle a bit with the use of first names in the red group. Really obscures the connection too far. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22696: Good, but the House group was extremely niche! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18177: I like that a lot (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22728: "Gems" not acceptable? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22927: I thought some parts of the grid were a bit difficult, perhaps could've found a way to make them easier, but that is a PHENOMENAL grid idea. You've inspired me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #22804: Particularly enjoyed the slay group... (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18225: A few too many Italian crossovers. Not bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22927: @ cjn102 - it wasn’t my intention thus I overlooked it as a valid link when doing the keywords. Congratulations on your success. (4 years, 11 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22927: Very good. I gave myself the point for ‘nationalities’ as I felt that was also a valid link and it gave me the full 10 points! Took almost all of the time and required some lateral thinking. Really enjoyed it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22923: This needs more work. ''bar'' bar isn't a thing. 'closely related to gold' doesn't work either. Other rounds were very obscure (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22850: Quite right knife! Who`s ever heard of Mononymic! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22851: Easy for me(that`s unusual) but good,no complaints! Yeah do another. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Teepee @ #12677: The fourth group was very misleading. Can’t see a link with football. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22889: Yeah but the point of the heads one was that Saracens are also Rugby! (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22928: Sheesh, too tough for me. A good mix of categories and tasty herrings too. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22909: Please? 4 members? I got incorrect for 4 parts-which technically is MORE correct IMHO. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22917: Good one but the county fooled me-thought they were in lancs! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22734: Nor did joy, arguably a better synonym (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22735: Turkey - crown? That was a bit of a dodgy group. Christ wore the Crown of Thorns before the Crucifixion as well... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22892: I'm literally typing in my own name but it's saying Matt. IDK what's happening. - Keir H (4 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #22892: WHY DID I PUT MY NAME AS MATT DANGIT (4 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #22892: To Matt - There were some crossovers, but only two. The Sun is a newspaper and The Wheel of Fortune is a game show, as well as being tarot cards. The main gimmick was them all starting with "the" but I can accept that there was a lack of red herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22918: Tough but very well done. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #22892: Very satisfying, no crossovers though (4 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #22904: Good one. Easy if you know pop culture (4 years, 11 months ago)

Elariel @ #4291: "creel", "pannier", "Basket", "Bassinet" needs a broader range of possible answers (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22917: nice grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jime @ #22912: @GK but are preflex and inflex words? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22418: Excellent, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22426: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22457: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22445: Difficult but nice, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

swegrid @ #22912: ah shoot, so tricky to fail-safe these things. sorry about that yall! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Genghis Kong @ #22912: Nice grid, although “In” and “Pre” can also substitute for “Circum”. (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22888: really nicely done but a little too tricky with red herrings also- just the additions would be sufficient, unless you're going for fiendish. (Also agree some answers were a bit obscure) but I loved this format. Please do more like this but maybe go easier on us! (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22900: For me (Brit) the combination of american flag and word cotton gave me the group! Nice grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22901: 2 a tad too specific for me- 2 very good groups (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22903: Now that's more like it! Tim- please see definition of onomatopoeia!!! I agree mattress didn't fit as neatly, but still worked ok. Well done :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22904: bit 2D. bit fluffy, magazine facts, no real puzzle (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22907: good in places but maybe "girls names" needs a bit more to it? I'm less keen on wordy ones that change something new each time (inconsistent so weak group) but that's a matter of taste. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22755: Yeah - "Queen" is stretching a very long bow to breaking point, for the sake of a red herring. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22897: Having "mother" complete in itself does undermine that group. And I am clearly one of the many wrong people who assumed the spelling was "soundbyte"! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22900: Yeah, in this part of the world we call it "candy floss", not "cotton candy"! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22903: Apparently the "old mattress" reference is a thing. Who knew? I'm not entirely convinced by the onomatopoeia thing. A simpler connection is that they're all expressions of noise. (4 years, 11 months ago)

BW95 @ #22882: I disagree with other comments that it was too cryptic. I really enjoyed this and would definitely play another similar grid. I got 7 but went for diamond and Ace of Spades instead of "Base" as a card suits connection, which was stupid really because I knew the "bat" answer! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Masra @ #45: No comment (4 years, 11 months ago)

Brian b @ #15190: Fist line answer given as doubled. I wrote repeated word and should have been marked as correct. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22849: Tim, they're sweets/candies and they are delicious! Great grid KB44 (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22888: I thought it was great fun, quite innovative and got it on my first attempt with 8 seconds to spare, so hardly 'near impossible'. In response to Thurso, I guess the flag next to the grid links indicates that there might be some 'local' knowledge required. Thurso is well known in the UK as being the most northerly town. Good job, Keggs. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Scott @ #22739: Really good well thought out grid, quite a challenge. (4 years, 11 months ago)

knife @ #22892: Neat, well put together, enjoyable (4 years, 11 months ago)

cb @ #22903: See below?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18273: Dude PLEASE sort your accepted answers out! There's at least 3 wrong on EVERY grid of yours (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18277: ooh tricksy! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18287: You need to widen your acceptable answers a bit. Nice otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18288: ''wallander'' ( and I agree with the stenography comment) but a decent grid otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18291: no need to add ''ladies'' to undies but a solid grid else. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18292: another nice solid grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18293: nice and fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22882: Take a bow. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22906: Tison twice. Did you mean Boson? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sue @ #21601: (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18308: nice, fun, good crossovers. 'american' artists too specific but good otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18333: Sort your spelling out! AND your categories (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18378: Poor. Your connections aren't accurate esp the Harry Potter round (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22892: easy but fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sue @ #21650: There are mistakes in this. One clue is misspelled, and one answer is wrong. Of the four clues, two have the name in the answer, but two are called Barry. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22904: easy but fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

aa @ #22904: cleverly done, but groups are too similar... three film ones and a popular music set (4 years, 11 months ago)

aa @ #22905: nice try but I think it's "Hel - sin - ki" and "Reyk - ja - vik" so the capitals set doesn't work, and acronyms is too broad a category (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jack @ #22871: Latin isn't an extinct language (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22480: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22497: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22499: I typed Homer's Iliad as well, and it didn't work but gave myself the point. Overall a good grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22516: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22525: Loved this one :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22539: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22607: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22589: Fun grid, thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22602: Nice grid, good fun! (4 years, 11 months ago)

britishnerd @ #22904: it was really bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

joe90 @ #22903: old mattress??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

scottada @ #22889: Good fun.UK focus so answers need to be quite precise. (4 years, 11 months ago)

scottada @ #22900: Also struggled with the cotton line as two of the references were not known usage for me but a good grid and relatively easy to solve (4 years, 11 months ago)

AM Fleming @ #955: The T'Pau question is far too obscure and specialised. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22894: You can't make a connection with two different names. Doesn't matter how alike they *sound* to you, this needs to worknin writing. It does not. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22897: The Nicholson group doesn not work. One hint does not follow the pattern at all. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Wordie @ #22900: Good grid. Got beaten by the line with ‘cotton’ in it (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #22894: did not like (4 years, 11 months ago)

Numpty Dumpty @ #21861: a fun one, good sci-fi knowledge (4 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #22555: The rules isn't a playing card. Also didn't accept groups instead of bands. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #18124: Damn autotext. Not "experienced fed" but "expected to". (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nighteyes @ #18124: Popular culture references are ok if they are not too niche. Being experienced fed to know bowie albums, or any others, except perhaps classics like Sgt pepper, is not reasonable. Also, the mate etc. group could just as easily be third. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom C @ #22891: 5! Ah well, off to look up Mr Oizo and Mr Mister (4 years, 11 months ago)

lorna @ #22894: needlessly obscure. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nz @ #22899: A rather narrow selection of answers here :-( (4 years, 11 months ago)

Yawn! @ #22899: Probably the most boring and immature puzzgrid ever put on this site! (4 years, 11 months ago)

bloss @ #2297: A good combination of overlapping terms - thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

knife @ #22889: The Head one seems a bit gratuitous (4 years, 11 months ago)

knife @ #22885: Not bad, though I find the first words of particular flms a bit too tenuous and hard to guess (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18434: Nice! different (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22843: Not bad, but thematically just a bit samey... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22884: Clever. Although "economy delight" is a bit niche. Some of us don't have any tiers of Virgin Airlines. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22888: Not bad, but... "Thurso", a town (wikipedia tells me) with less than 8000 inhabitants on the other side of the world, is *way* too obscure. I'm also not really convinced by the "add key" stuff etc, when two make words, and two make two-word terms. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18498: easy but nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22894: @ Tim - eye roll (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22889: Got the grid very quickly, but a couple of the descriptions/connections are very parochially UK! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22894: Emmett/Emmitt is not really a connection. One or the other. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22888: near impossible ( and not in a good way!) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Shaq @ #22894: Very poor putting 3 characters from the same show in a group with a different connection and also putting red herrings for that show. Very easy and unskilled way on the gridmaker's part to make it hard for the players. I actually got those two groups in the end but was not impressed by the construction of the grid at all. (4 years, 11 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #22896: With due apologies to those who are not football fans... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #5818: Should be Laburnan Grove (4 years, 11 months ago)

Larry. @ #22891: Top class. (4 years, 11 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #22868: I'm not sure it will be very interesting to create a grid which only includes things that everyone has heard of! (4 years, 11 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #22869: Vk1...technically only a waste of 3 minutes.....but I do apologise if it ruined your day!!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22871: Nicely done, Marshmallow (4 years, 11 months ago)

Angry Tom @ #22866: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Particle Man??!?! WTF!!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #22871: Lovely. Thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Douglas Gillespie @ #22891: Really enjoyed this but totally stumped by the Capitals. Although I do have man-flu which is the worst illness ever and offer this in mitigation (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22890: Wow, tough! Failed miserably but excellent variety and misdirection. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22891: I didn’t spot it but I love the Capitals idea. Couldn’t stop thinking about French hens! You tricked me with leg up, face up (to), rest up… whether intention or not I liked it. Very nice! (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22892: Easy but well-constructed nevertheless (4 years, 11 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22891: Very nice. Only got the ‘lava’ group after I’d solved the wall. The other groups were straightforward enough but satisfying links. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Thomas @ #22513: I liked it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vk1 @ #22869: There is no Sade Coburg Square in London. Windor should be Windsor. Overall a waste of time given the errors. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Verr @ #5026: What is "vouge", typo? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Batch @ #22888: Too much of a muchness by adding something to all grids (4 years, 11 months ago)

Batch @ #18479: enjoyed (4 years, 11 months ago)

Batch @ #1498: beat me, but was well accurate. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Zbj @ #22867: Really good (4 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #22882: Ok, so I massively struggled with this. However, the concept was brilliant and decently executed. Once the groups were resolved I had that facepalm moment "OF COURSE!!!!" Well done and imo the spider thing didn't matter because I was going to put insects and when realising my mistake used the term bug instead. You had selected your keywords well and that was accepted!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Batch @ #88: a decent starter-level grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Batch @ #3: I was thrown by polar solvent too (4 years, 11 months ago)

JerseySue @ #19215: Brilliant - love this type of wall. Great challenge - thank you! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Quizy Rasca @ #22866: Tim- I've seen All Shapes and many other vague groups used on the show before. It's not all about trying to be clever all the time. Other grids are available. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Wladimirovsky @ #22687: Good simple grid. Enjoyed it (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jackie @ #22876: I misspelt Cludo (as you can see) so got it wrong - Being English didn't help me. I am still not sure how the final answer "10" relates to softball (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22846: Pretty good for a first attempt! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22849: I have to say I've never heard of "Cola Cube" before. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22882: @ Tim - thanks for the spidery tip, I’ll remember this in future! I readily expected Fiendish but kept cryptic clues to a minimum to ensure that some groups are doable. Sorry to hear it is not your cup of tea but hopefully it will be for others. • Henry inside panzers, for example (6) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22854: "Take the L" is a very culturally specific reference, for us old people. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22856: I've never come across "Aurie" as somehow related to "Margaret", nor "Thea" to Elizabeth". The latter is usually linked to "Theodora", "Dorothea", or "Althea". This makes for a very poor puzzle experience! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22857: Directors ... just a bit obscure for most of us. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22860: Apart from the red herring that was an actual herring, that made full points impossible, the purple line should have probably accepted "afraid" as a connection, rather than "scarey", which was essentially one of the things being connected! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22866: No! "All shapes" does not count! That's just too vague for a connection. :) You might as well say "all words"... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22867: "Champion" should probably be "winner" to correspond to "victor". And your green line wasn't very generous in accepting connections... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22868: Never heard of a rat rod before! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22869: OK. I did suspect a typo. Not great! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22873: "Luke" is not a homophone for "look" - at least not where I come from! And randomly inserting full stops in words (i.e. J.O.E.) has never been allowed!!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Namaztak @ #22870: @Tim didn't think of that, as the proper name is one word. I did include PS, though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22882: I hate to break it to you, but spiders are not insects! As a whole, not so great and too obscure - esp the likes of "Droop": getting your synonym, then reversing it, then connecting that to a state of matter. A bridge too far! (4 years, 11 months ago)

x @ #22882: 3 minutes isn't long enough (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22873: Excellent grid as always JC. A northern accent would definitely help for Luke/Look, but southerners like me can't always have it our own way, I guess! (4 years, 11 months ago)

AlasDare @ #21861: Great grid, thx. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22882: 5/10, for what it's worth, but a huge amount of fun. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22882: Outstanding - I love the connections and the cryptic clues. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22882: @ RossChrisWisty - I don’t know what group you mean but I will say the states of matter group was last added and is noticeably more “cryptic crossword” style than the rest and thus likely more elusive. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22880: @ RossChrisWisty – Yikes! I assumed otherwise, shoulda gone with “originally written in German”. Thanks for the heads up, RCW… (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22880: Tough but top quality! (4 years, 11 months ago)

RossChrisWisty @ #22880: Kafka be Bohemian (4 years, 11 months ago)

RossChrisWisty @ #22882: That purple group. Wowser. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #10267: Very good, thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul Atreides @ #6140: I am the DEVIL to puzz grid, I DEFEAT grids at a rate greater than ANY HUMAAAAAANNNN! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul Atreides @ #6816: Really proud of this grid. Sitting here with my boys after years and we have finally solved it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

nigel streeter @ #909: Ralph the world cup winner ??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul Atreides @ #2748: Absolutely destroying the top ten right now. They should have me and my boys on Only Connect. We'd show them a thing or two. Only took me 18 seconds. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul Atreides @ #583: Jesus this captcha is absolute trash. Rabbit evry time??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul Atreides @ #583: Only took me 15 seconds. Try harder next time. Very disappointed in this grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul Atreides @ #10577: Disappointing grid. Clearly a shitpost. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22876: Needed to input FAR too much info to the answers box. Spoiled a nice grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #22876: I am complaining about the more tenuous ones, despite getting them "-p thanks for setting tho (4 years, 11 months ago)

ernst blofeld-finger @ #18475: brilliant... the womb answer got me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #22776: It was... ok. No complaints really, just needed a wee bit more misdirection somehow. The groups were fine, but I've seen the Rocket one before . Maybe I'm just old and jaded and grumpy. Thanks for setting it, anyway (4 years, 11 months ago)

RF @ #238: It should accept ‘synonyms’ for the clone line. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22862: Expert trolling grid. Loved the herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22853: Only 4/10 but so gooood, had me stumped! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22744: Hmm...as mentioned before - "roll" and "ape" issues. Thanks for making the grid though :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22755: Great grid, thanks :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22765: Great fun :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22776: Loved it, was just talking about Randall and Hopkirk in a recent conversation :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22873: JC...No apologies needed my friend, just my thoughts is all :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22797: Fun! Thanks :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22801: As someone else put so well, "Nice, easy, fun!" Thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22802: Nice grid, but "Types of Knives" was not accepted :( (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22814: Loved this one, thanks :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22850: Royals of the UK should kinda be an acceptable answer, surely? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22876: Cluedo is known as Clue in North America but when I entered it, got an incorrect. Hmpf. But overall an excellent grid, thanks :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vee @ #22876: Cluedo is known as Clue in North America but when I entered it, got an incorrect. Hmpf. But overall an excellent grid, thanks :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #22874: All of category two could qualify for category four. Too much overlap. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22876: Good puzzle! Found softball to be a wee bit tenuous compared to the other 10s but not complaining with full marks :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22878: This is great. Fooled for a while by golfers and possible Johns but saw sense in the end (except girl names, which is obvious afterwards). Really good fun! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #22872: nice red herring for Ealing comedies and Ealing station. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #22873: It might have worked not using any dots - but would have made the Tammy connection move into the fiendish category. Nice grid. Happy with Luke. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #22876: nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #22867: Clever and entertaining. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22873: @ Peekay - I liked the novelty of the format for all words in the song (except “Divorce” itself, which would’ve been too explicit I though t). Or maybe not, I find it tricky to gauge difficulty for others sometimes. Red herrings exist to deliberately misdirect but apologies nevertheless. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #22871: Well constructed. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #22876: Good Gridding! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Anon @ #22868: change letter line doesn't work for me....words are still backwards, so difficult to work it out (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22873: Luke rhyming with Look is a stretch, but my biggest issue is J.O.E.....why have you written it like this? I'ts deliberately misleading as the name Joe in the answer isn't presented that way? (4 years, 11 months ago)

JBJ @ #22859: This clearly isn't meant for general consumption. Make your own grids by all means, but if the answers are only pertinent to you then it's impossible for us to complete (4 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #22876: I liked the grid although, because there are 10 hurdles in both the 110m and 100m hurdles I'm not sure the overlaps entirely work. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22870: Perhaps "play station" should have been an allowable option? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22872: (Particularly because you'd usually refer to a piggy bank, singular. Data banks plural, well... maybe OK). (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22872: "Banks" was a bit obscure. And had never heard of a flashtube before! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim @ #22874: Too linguistic-samey . (4 years, 11 months ago)

G. Garcia @ #22861: Thanks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

G. Garcia @ #22862: Yeah, sorry about the insects and not including "bugs" as a good word. :( (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22793: Very Mancunian grid...nice! (4 years, 11 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #22869: Ooops..sorry folks..Windsor!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

minnietheminx @ #22863: awesome grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

The Banyan Tree @ #17692: Solid grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Widger @ #22867: Excellent .lov ed the dilly group (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22798: The garland group really doesn't work. The relationship of each member of that group to the word "garland" is completely different. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22845: Good grid. Did not accept relatives. Needed broader definitions. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22868: I’ll settle for 5/10 here, tough going (4 years, 11 months ago)

knife @ #22850: Cher etc. are all also female singers, I reckon that should also be accepted as a link (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22864: Got the cognacs and GoT quickly but couldn’t separate the films/books. I saw Tyrell first of all and looked for other brands of crisps lol. Lovely work, good job. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22867: Ach, sorry folks, my NATO alphabet description doesn’t match the final published grid. I rejected “Pop = Papa” and replaced it with “Capital of Peru = Lima” (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22862: Spiders and centipedes are not insects. (4 years, 11 months ago)

ContestantA @ #22869: Should Windor be Windsor? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Stonerose @ #22862: Completely thrown trying to find a Riverdale link. Good grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22859: How is ANYONE meant to know those? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Malcolm @ #22867: Pretty good, but victor is not a true synonym of champion- you can win a tennis match but not end up champion, and you can lose a number of football games and still be champion - victor is explicitly the one who wins (4 years, 11 months ago)

Malcolm @ #154: Grecian, that's the very point of the red herrings. Unless there are two words that BOTH fit into the same two categories, then it's all good (4 years, 11 months ago)

talismaniac @ #22511: I put fairy tales too, which should be accepted (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sara @ #22845: Nifty! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Cross @ #22862: two of those are not insects, so I put "bugs" in the hope it might cover this trying to double guess what common word would cover them - only to find it was insect :-( (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #22867: The red herrings were abundant! I feel that my answer of 'baseball team name fan supporter' was close enough. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22863: Very good grid.....enjoyed it (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22843: I must need my ears cleaning then because "Ate" to me sounds just like "Eight" (4 years, 11 months ago)

Galdone @ #22843: The homophones in French and German do not work- if pronounced correctly they do not sound like the words used here. Also in the English for me 'ate' and 'one' don't work. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22861: Very nice 👍 (4 years, 11 months ago)

trion @ #22867: Lovely one. Tricky enough! (4 years, 11 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22867: Really good. Ran out of lives due to the multiple red herrings and not spotting the final link. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #21886: Garbage (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #21890: One connection category is simply wrong - it has nothing at all to do with the answers, which are all connected, just not in the way described. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Harry1969 @ #22845: This is great! (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #21889: Some bizarre connections here made it impossible, even after getting the groups. (4 years, 11 months ago)

VJ @ #22853: Fun to do, nice overlaps. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gilliam Hilliam William Bush @ #22740: No, not a thing wrong with it, as far as this President can see. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bobbi @ #4165: Def geared towards us brits! Loved this grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bobbi @ #8355: Not sure why bands didn't count. Apart from that, nice easy grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22811: The -Law group is genius! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #22536: The actions are all synonyms so that should be accepted and groups should work for bands but doesn't so I agree that the answers need expanding. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22853: Excellent crossovers, very enjoyable. (4 years, 11 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #22852: Grow up or stay off. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #22843: Unfortunately suffers from a common problem of using homophones that do not work in all regions. For me Won, To and Ate do not work. Also Wheat does not work. My ignorance of Japanese means I cannot comment on those. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pip @ #22852: No (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22854: Also, everyone, yes, I do realise that "thumb" technically isn't a finger, but they are all digits, and I thought that was close enough. Don't be picky. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Namaztak @ #22843: So insanely hard, but so obvious once the groups are shown. Genius. (4 years, 11 months ago)

trion @ #22851: Good fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #21991: No problem with Open, and figured it had to go in that group as it didn't fit any others, so wasn't even one of the red herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #18573: nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22760: Didn't get Downer, but thought it clever. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22845: Didn't allow 'relations', so I've given myself a mental 10 points! Otherwise, a good fun grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22845: (4 years, 11 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #22843: I wasn't even close tosolving that one....good work👍 (4 years, 11 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #22845: Ooooh...had me totally stumped until I spotted the relation one with 4 seconds to go.....so I restarted (CHEAT!!) as I knew I would get it...Good work..really enjoyed that one (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22844: @ Jim – I decided against 4 specifically related tv shows and chose instead to offer clues to the other groups to make things (hopefully) easier (4 years, 11 months ago)

Natalie @ #22851: Loved this wall - great red herrings! do another one, Barrelmoth!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #22846: Ah yes, good point about Mary. Actually my daughter made up this grid (her first attempt) and I didn't check it too carefully! Room for improvement... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Anon @ #22837: An interesting one. I liked it. Good job. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #22844: TV show one is a bit crud. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22845: Enjoyable grid, thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gizmo Madug @ #22846: Mary wasn't Queen of England. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22846: Couple of lines there that verge on impossible to solve i'm afraid (4 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #22843: Enjoyable, but unfortunately several of these are simply not pronounced as indicated. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Steve T @ #22843: Very enjoyable (4 years, 11 months ago)

VJ @ #22843: Loved this grid and was happy to have guessed a group without knowing any Japanese. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22846: Nice until the scientists. (4 years, 11 months ago)

ChrisM @ #22804: Good one (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22838: Really interesting grid! I was quite pleased I remembered the Liaison Committee! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22831: Teeth instead of tooth? I got 7/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J (a different one) @ #22048: Other J, the spaces on Only Connect are randomly scattered, rather than following the original words. Nice grid, with some clever red herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jonny @ #22776: At last 10/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aldo @ #21861: Good grid, thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22814: Excellent grid, most enjoyable. Nothing wrong with "greenkeeper" and "gamekeeper", without the s, they are in the dictionary! (4 years, 11 months ago)

l @ #22831: (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pip @ #22831: Yes (4 years, 11 months ago)

No @ #22814: Should be greens, with the s, and games, with the s (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22828: I convinced myself that Burton boots were a thing... fun grid :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22827: Interesting grid, Thorpe and Profumo row excellent idea. Other rows very difficult unless you are keen on politics (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22828: Very enjoyable grid, good mix, not that difficult except for the Liverpool row which I agonised over for ages and then gave up. (4 years, 11 months ago)

plibben @ #22786: very esoteric. (4 years, 11 months ago)

McNerd @ #22737: Really nice fun grid at a nice easy level (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22686: Dance Moms,TV prog-yeah-I know about it but don`t watch it-too icky. 🤮This grid relies on TV too much! And I`m not sure Freeview is a channel,it`s a free TV service for cheapskates like me that don`t wanna pay for Sky and all the rest.So that one doesn`t quite work either.Sorry. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22779: Yeah-there was a bug! I got marked incorrect for putting Hard - and what was correct? Hard -! I wuz robbed! Otherwise good. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22796: Park Park?! Do you mean Park lane? Try Finsbury-then they really do all end in `park`. (4 years, 11 months ago)

knife @ #22802: Not bad, but the forensics one seems a bit vague (picture?) Footprint or DNA might have been more suitable, for example, though that may have made it too easy I suppose (4 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #22814: Homophones of letters should be accepted (4 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #22793: Agree - make them all capitals and it would be harder. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Harr @ #22802: Sorry guys the term forensics didn't come to my mind when I made it! I knew i forgot a common keyterm for that! (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22801: US show characters, not for me (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22803: ok (4 years, 11 months ago)

birdbrain @ #22802: forensics! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vlad @ #22806: It was very easy to see which group stooge would be in because it couldn't have fit into any other group. So even if you have a rigid, almost autistic aversion to slang, it doesn't make a difference when it comes to solving the grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22124: good quiz but the last one got me, as for the breads- tortilla bread? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22147: I got these quite quickly and by guessing. I was stumped by the last two connections though! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Verr @ #4900: I disagree, the inclusion of Wayne with the verbs was cheaply obtuse. Pierce is not a homophone of pierce, it is pierce. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #22806: NiceGuySi is right, a stooge is a accomplice (often covert), not a victim. When there are multiple red herrings that *do* fit the connection, it makes it too hard when to complete the group, you need to double-guess a misunderstanding - even a common one - from the compiler. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Renoto @ #22609: Only Connect is explicit that grids have to have only a single solution. (Which makes sense, because it's just common sense that if they don't they're nearly impossible to solve in just three minutes). (4 years, 11 months ago)

EDC @ #22777: boy oh boy i didnt get boy. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Nz @ #22802: Why not accept the real word, forensics (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vlad @ #22806: That's not the only way the word stooge is used. It can be used synonymously with those other words. As you know obviously, but it's more fun to play dumb and be critical for the sake of it I agree. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vk @ #22388: Naseby (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22806: A stooge is a confederate, acting with someone else and sometimes pretending to be stupid. If you call someone a stooge you're accusing them of being in league with another person. Saps, chumps and fools are actually stupid and/or gullible and to call someone one of these names is to accuse them of being worked "on" by someone else. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #2639: Paramedics aren't strictly medical - the clue is in the name. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #2639: To be fair, this is an old grid, so it's more the fault of all the people who are still using David bloody Beckham's kids years later. Perhaps a filter could be made to reject any grid with those four names. Got everything quickly, but was turned down for "health workers" (4 years, 11 months ago)

Steve T @ #22754: Actually wrong. 501 is not the maximum total you can get in darts. It should be 180. I agree with Ziller , not very enjoyable (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ziller @ #22754: Didn't love this I'm afraid... not sure I like there being two of the same answer... seems like cheating a bit as it massively slows you down. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22754: I really enjoyed this one! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22755: To Ian, I saw a wall with Sideshow and Sponge in a group of famous Bobs, and I got an idea to make something like this, but I guess half a group being different to only one outlier is different. Sorry. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22755: Really enjoyable - well done. I got 7/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #184: Like others, I think the Top/Dog interchangeability spoils it, as you can burn lives on the last categories even if you select sets of words that fit the given criteria. (4 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #12552: Poll / Pole are not homonyms in much of the world. Otherwise fun. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ian @ #22755: Having "Queen" come before three answers (in typical usage) and after one seems unfair. Does the show do this sort of thing? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #19019: Stoo does rhyme with you though? But as for the rest of the grid....yeah...pretty poor (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22731: @Stonerose solution clearly says *sound*, not word born. Perfectly good grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22719: I love your topic fanatically, but this grid is poorly constructed. I solved all the groups (pretty boring once you figure out they're all about the same man), but the solutions are barely coherent (the 'Silverman' group solution is just bizarre) and even the most obvious answers are not included. You don't even name your subject in the solutions. If I wasn't into this topic in the first place, I'm sure I'd be royally confused (and frustrated). (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22694: I guess it is more of a Scottish thing than a Lancastrian thing. Lancastrians tend to pronounce book as "buke", but it's only words that end with K. Saying hood like "hude" is Scottish. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #22732: Fairly easy, but good fun. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22739: Palindromes stand out especially Radar and Civic which are used a lot. Adding a letter to make a new word for two groups is a bit much. However, overall a fun grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Linford @ #22696: This grid tried to shoehorn in as many red herrings and potential phantom groups as possible at the expense of the quality of the actual groups, e.g 3 sprinters in the drug group and describing Ben Thatcher as "famous". (4 years, 11 months ago)

Drew @ #566: What is a finishing line? A finish line is a thing I have heard of, but not a finishing line. Otherwise, good quiz. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22694: Outstandingly good - thankyou! (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22696: I only got the House group, and that was after trying all the Prime Minister combinations! Fun grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22700: Really like the French regional dishes clue. The 'Kellys' clue didn't recognise 'Kelly' in the singular! (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22698: There's some real potential here - the jazz clue is good, and the orange clue could work without the 'sun if it was orange' give away. I'm not sure why 'jam' is the solution to that grid - it could just as easily be berries or fruits. I don't understand the 'letter e' connection. (4 years, 11 months ago)

L Bend @ #22694: In what part of Lancashire does Hood rhyme with Jude? Is there a Scottish part of Lancashire? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #22690: Cheetah, not Cheater (4 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #22690: Maybe try to add some red herrings in your next grid. Good try, though (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22694: Hey, birdbrain, (not insulting them, that's what they put their name as) you could argue that Jay Hood isn't a spoonerism of Hey Jude because Jude doesn't quite rhyme with Hood (unless you live in Lancashire) but spoonerisms don't require correct spellings. The reason they work as spoonerisms is because you're just swapping around the phonetics of the words. (4 years, 11 months ago)

x @ #22686: Too many obscure fictional characters (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #22686: Those cities are NOT in the Alps. They are all German-speaking cities outside of Germany. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #22690: A cheater is not a big cat. I think you mean cheetah. It would have been nice had 'Marvel comic hero' been considered correct. (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22681: Neither is Chavez while we're at it! (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22681: Cesar Romero (I assume that is who the clue refers to) is NOT a CAESAR (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #5633: very elegant, very easy! (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22671: excellent grid. good mix of categories and connections and achievable (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #8815: too hard for me - slightly thrown by the tie line - bow or neck is an adjective that can go with tie, not a type of tie (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #15868: a bit too easy (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #566: absolutely excellent (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jasper @ #11422: It was ok (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pdiddy @ #11422: wicked game! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Glooey @ #22681: Nice diversion on the Charlie and the Chocolate factory names, but some of the connections were spurious. (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22634: Very enjoyable grid. good work (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22669: very good grid. enjoyed it. On an unrelated note, I would describe the Asteroid group as 'Celestial bodies', and have only used SPATIAL when referring to things 'Taking up space' and not to describe things in SPACE, however I'm quite happy to stand corrected. (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22670: Not really a fan of when all the connections are the same TYPE of clue. Also don't like it when in the same connection the word can either go before the clue or come after. Not sure if I'm alone in this? thoughts...... (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22623: Yes I know. You are missing the point. The word 'LACY' does not begin with a fastening because it is not spelt that way. So the clue doesn't work. If, however, you are implying that because PART of the word SOUNDS like the desired word then that seems a bit weak and a bit shoe horned in. (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22609: I think every grid on here is inspired by 'Only Connect' but it needs to have a unique solution or it doesn't work (4 years, 11 months ago)

Trench Rat @ #22671: As below, doesn't accept hat... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Namaztak @ #22671: Didn't accept just the word "hat" for that group. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MariaTheDog @ #22669: Good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Wordie @ #22671: Good one (4 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #22358: Agree with MK. When all the words in a group are different ways of saying the same thing then "synonyms" on its own should ALWAYS be an acceptable answer. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22617: Excellent crossovers and nothing too niche. (4 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #22606: A jolly good time. Might catch ya off guard tho. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gerry @ #22665: Tricky (4 years, 11 months ago)

FS @ #22669: the one with galaxy was rather weak, the rest was fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

Renubo @ #22602: Hi all, thanks for your comments! Aida is a musical too: Elton John & Tim Rice's Aida. I included it to make it a bit trickier because most people know it as an opera. (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22656: Good intelligent grid, no celebs or Harry Potter. Well done! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Renubo @ #22609: Thanks for your comments! This is inspired by 'Only Connect' grids so I have included Redherrings and crossover clues. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MariaTheDog @ #22640: What even is this? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22598: easy but fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22602: Aida's an opera not a ''musical'' (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22604: bread-loaf doesn't work as a clue. Swap that out and it's not a bad grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22607: not bad! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22614: WTF indeed!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

MariaTheDog @ #22656: Nice, a bit easy. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22646: Poor. First categories not even accurate (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22653: Oh GO AWAY (4 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #22614: WTF (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22589: So many planets I nearly didn`t find the right ones! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22597: !0/10! But plenty of `red herrings` that nearly had me beat. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jillc @ #583: did it easy (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tim Landscheidt @ #8467: The Solomon Islands are named as such in the explanations, but in the actual grid they are incorrectly called Solom*a*n Islands. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22602: I put `Mauves` instead of purples & heroines instead of gilrs names-pah! I was right really-wasn`t I? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22604: SO many red-herrings I never eliminated them all.Might have if I`d had a team! (4 years, 11 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #22636: Got them all, due to age, but would not accept "distance". (Moral victory). (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22634: Quite good, apart from Blake`s 7.That`s not pedantic in a word game! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #22607: Thanks, enjoyed it. My second 10/10 of the evening. (4 years, 11 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #22640: Any chance of you explaining yourself and what you are on? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Snake Eat Lizard @ #22611: My first 10/10 of the evening. Enjoyed it, many thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

commenter @ #22642: I challenge the author of this grid to complete it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22642: Possibly the worst grid i've ever played.....knew the answers, but combinations had to be exact, so virtually impossible (4 years, 11 months ago)

Galactic Gladiator @ #22607: (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22642: Nice idea, but having multiple of the same clues very rarely works (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22634: Really good (4 years, 11 months ago)

Pedant @ #22634: It's actually called Blake's 7, rather than "Blake 7". (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cozine @ #22433: I liked the _book ones. It was fun to solve that. Also the google one was rewarding to solve. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22636: Brilliant! I got the distance and time - the others stumped me even when I saw the groups. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22585: Lovely and straightforward, it’s nice to get full marks sometimes :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

poto10 @ #22434: Actually the British Indian Ocean Territory is a British Overseas Territory. In other words, it was a fun quiz to solve (4 years, 11 months ago)

poto9 @ #22433: This is a very fun quiz. I liked it a lot. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22586: lol I managed everything and could not for the life of me determine the prefix. Went through the alphabet twice and couldn’t make it fit. Gaunt goat gour? ginch? Cinch coat caunt? cour?! Aargh. Lovely work, well done! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dan Gleebits @ #76: Leek is not in Shropshire (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22602: Good grid. enjoyed this one (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22609: you can swap a couple of the CHERRY and APPLE clues over and the grid would still be correct, therefor it doesn't have a unique solution. This can happen when you try and squeeze a lot of crossovers in (4 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22611: excellent grid. enjoyable and doable. good stuff (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22623: TooCleverByHalf: Lacy is an anagram of Clay; Laceration begins with LACE. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22618: Confusing. Got 5/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22623: Tough one. Liked the Rainbow red herring. Thought the anagrams were hard though. Only got 4/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22603: Tricky but good (4 years, 11 months ago)

MK @ #22614: Not familiar with the shops (not from UK) but the others were obvious - just took some time to translate! Fun grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22618: Could have used more possible phrases for categories this broad. And for the most general one, it's a bit unfortunate that they all fit into a much narrower category as well. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MK @ #22618: Two weather categories? But only one of them is specific? (4 years, 11 months ago)

RF @ #98: Good, a little tricky (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22590: The fictional kings clue was great. I didn't get it, but it was obvious once I checked :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22564: TCR: "Precious gems" can be used meaningfully in a sentence. For instance, taken from Mental Floss: "Alongside the world’s precious gems (diamond, ruby, sapphire, and emerald) are numerous semi-precious stones, some of which are so incredibly rare that their value outstrips many of the world's most valuable precious gems." "Brown Recluse" IS in the Oxford English Dictionary. Look it up. https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/brown_recluse (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22574: @ NiceGuySi Greek letters and the (additional) Phonetic alphabet letters were red herrings (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22574: "Alpha" not "Alfa" or am I missing something? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22558: easy but fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22563: Got the Fleming ones straight off and thought I'd make short work of the rest. Nope! After about 1m30s I remembered a goldeneye was a type of duck. Caught the monsters after the time ran out but could only think of Judie Dench for the last one. Laughable! Great grid and good fun! (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22564: Flummoxed and flailing I finally got the owls with 3secs left! A wonderful mix and nice distractions. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #13731: So "100" not right even though it it the correct answer. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #13731: So "100" not right even though it it the correct answer. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Den @ #22549: Den? (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22557: Trickier than it first appears. Fun grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22561: I agree that Mortal Kombat characters are acceptable but I'm not too sure about the homograph lie/falsehood lie/recline. Nevertheless, good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Larry. @ #22561: Bit defensive about the mortal kombat group. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Larry. @ #22556: good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Larry. @ #22557: good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sass @ #22552: Agree with Smolenskoy about beards but otherwise great grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1951: Very easy. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1954: Easy grid with a couple of crossovers. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1969: Good, manageable grid with nice crossovers. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Frances @ #22539: The first grid I’ve tried. I failed miserably but got two out of four of the links. Practice makes perfect, I’ll try again. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ricky @ #22517: Knew all the connections, but had answers for three that weren't accepted: "and" for the title pairs (understandable, as it's a common word), "slant" for the favoritism synonyms (a little unfair), and "secretary" for the departments (felt very unfair, as secretaries head those departments). Well-done grid, though; had fun with it! (4 years, 11 months ago)

trench rat @ #22518: quick but fun as always (4 years, 11 months ago)

trench rat @ #22536: I put affection in for the affection group and it doesn't count. widen your response field. Also it's "the who" not "who". You put the other bands as they're styled but not all of them. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22541: Nice. Didn't know Boulton. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22553: Good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Anon @ #21880: Good quiz. Some tough groups there and good use of red herrings. 10/10 (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22553: Nice links. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jime @ #22547: Accepted 'John' for me. Found that grid tough. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22536: easy but not bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22536: easy but not bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22556: Very easy (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #19773: Simply awful (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22549: Thought the names group might be people off Eastenders. Good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22553: Interesting grid, enjoyed it. Didn't get the artist group (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22555: The Rules caught me out, maybe Bridge Scores would've tipped me off. Good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gaffer @ #22551: it might as well be in latin!!!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

tom c @ #22540: 7 points, failed on kids tv (and I have two under 8!). Thanks for the wall (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22532: Four largest populations isn't really a connection; it's more of a sequence. (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22510: Lance group is a little shaky. Should be consistently either before or after, and consistently either a prefix/suffix or a separate word, not a mix of both. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Alina @ #22508: pretty good (4 years, 11 months ago)

Alina @ #22508: pretty good (4 years, 11 months ago)

very impressed @ #2621: That wall has some incredibly nice connections. Thank you for making my brain twist and shout. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Annoyed @ #13152: what a stupid grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22535: Good grid, not too difficult. Strangely "Mary" not allowed as an answer (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22549: Good one, good mix of categories (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22550: Enjoyable grid. Not too difficult, solved it with some lucky guessing (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22552: Excellent range of topics. Far too difficult for me. How can "Clean Shaven" be a type of beard? Shaving styles would be a better answer. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jelo @ #18344: didn't accept 2nd word of band names. the golden boot group is also all michaels. should consider it (4 years, 11 months ago)

mike stoklasa @ #10577: Per the old "hide money under your mattress" thing I really think "bed" should be acceptable as both a river part and a place to store money. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19765: not bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19773: WTF with the cake thing? Also PLEASE don't use words like ''midget'' (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19781: fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22539: I knew musical tempo was in there somewhere but dithered looking for it. Rock was very easy to spot as were the Ports. Fun grid, I enjoyed it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Namaztak @ #22551: I forgot to change the difficulty. This one's supposed to be medium-to-hard. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22544: Noticed Pliers straight off which tipped Hammer and Ice but failed to note the 90s connection. Almost gave up before spotting the hidden birds. I have subsequently discovered snails can have as many as 15,000 teeth! Good fun, great grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22542: Robert Walpole, 1st Earl of Orford, KG, PC, known between 1725 and 1742 as Sir Robert Walpole, was a British politician who is generally regarded as the de facto first Prime Minister of Great Britain (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22534: Flak ( not flack) but fun grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Namaztak @ #22547: @mal I could've sworn I added both John and Jon to that group's keywords (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22547: didn't accept John! Nice grid otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #22542: Warpole ? (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22539: That was pretty straightforward, but no less pleasing to solve. Good mixture of group types, and some red herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22543: Enjoyed this - except the ‘double letter’ group are also all cakes, which gives another valid connection? (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22540: Very solid wall. (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22542: Decent. I'm not convinced Six is quite right for McGoohan's character, he's always referred to in full as Number Six, but it was fun to work out what the group was. (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22544: Like the hidden birds a lot, I only got that at the last second. I did not know snails had teeth, but fair enough, I'm sure lots of people do. I would only take slight issue with the musicians. "90s" is a bit vague, it would be nice if they were all rappers, or all Jamaican, or something to link them. But, more importantly, one is a surname, two are the second words of stage names, and Pliers is the whole of a stage name, and that felt a little arbitrary. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22543: Wow! I found that very hard. Wasted a lot of time finding the cakes. Good but very tough grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jools @ #22540: 7 points, had to look up the kiddy TV one (4 years, 11 months ago)

ANuSDestory2k19 @ #22543: A wholesome way to spend an afternoon. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Anna @ #22536: Thank you! Actions displaying intimacy is clumsy. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kal @ #1370: George, Gordon, Alan, Hywel - all BBC news correspondents, as well as being Bennets (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22542: Gordon Brown stumped me (4 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #22540: First time ever getting 10 points! Wahoo! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kal @ #1381: Agreen. Use of 'black' is inconsistent for Piano. (4 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #22537: Nice wall! Even though it was the first thing I tried, just couldn't get Stranger Things out of my head! Challenging, thoroughly enjoyed:) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Y12 Maths @ #22351: NoT bAd (4 years, 11 months ago)

Y12 Maths @ #22467: Solid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #22533: Too hard for me but very good. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22532: Excellent. I need to play more Risk though, couldn’t differentiate that from the countries. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22530: Fairly straightforward with a nice mix of categories. Missed out on full marks due to the airports. (4 years, 11 months ago)

VJ @ #22525: fun to do, but almost no red herrings. (4 years, 11 months ago)

lockhart @ #22518: Great grid - thanks NiceGuySi. Saw all the themes immediately, but enough crossovers and red herrings to keep me from getting the right groups for a bit. Cheers (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kal @ #606: Kicking myself for not remembering who The Usual Suspects were! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kal @ #611: Trying to be too clever doesn't make you original or clever. (4 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #7978: Pretty good - but too many of the _____word category (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22530: I think hiding 3 letter codes inside words is a bit OTT, but the rest of the grid was decent. (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22533: I wonder whether there are other connections between some of these groups than, for example, famous fires. I like the variety of connections, though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22529: Liked this, plenty distractions. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22532: Really enjoyed this grid. That last group (homophones) really got me when I saw the answer. Only thing I got wrong! 7/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22533: Good grid, plenty of cross over and red herrings. Two of the categories are quite specific and hard to guess though I thought. I got 6/10 - enjoyable. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22516: Cool Grid. Buck Rogers also frozen / hibernated (4 years, 11 months ago)

NLYCNNCT-FAN @ #685: Nice wall! Enjoyed this wall quite a bit! (4 years, 11 months ago)

NLYCNNCT-FAN @ #1396: Glyn Parry Davies: DREW?????? THAT is the point of a grid!"! (1 month, 2 weeks ago) (4 years, 11 months ago)

NLYCNNCT-FAN @ #3594: nice. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NLYCNNCT-FAN @ #1601: PLASTIC AGE?!?!?! (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22531: Great grid. Very happy to get 3/10 (4 years, 11 months ago)

Taggy @ #20992: Really !! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Wladimirowsky @ #22531: Don't rate this one. So many overlapped, unreasonable. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #22518: Struggled because kept trying to make the Animal Farm link - good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #18159: why are glass, loaf and pie incorrect? Also, Ireland isn't part of the UK (4 years, 11 months ago)

K @ #566: Horribly difficult ;) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Calum @ #433: None of those words end with "eye". They are words to which one can add "eye" to make another word. Doh. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19829: It helps if you listen to people pointing out your errors... (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19844: ?????????????? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19851: You posted the same grid twice with the same errors! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #22518: WoW! I got 10. Enjoyed that needless to say;coupla good guesses but educated guesses :-D (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22531: Excellent - stumped me! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22522: @ Lowech. OK. So the link is that part (or all) of the cell makes up part (but not all) of a title of a Beatles song? Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lowech @ #22522: But Michelle is not missing another word from the title which was why I picked that... it’s close but not close enough (4 years, 11 months ago)

UBone @ #22495: Never heard of girlland, girlworld, or huntball. Also cannon misspelled, which is a different word entirely. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22524: @ NiceGuySi. Thanks. I was hoping that might work. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22525: Easy but nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22526: rather nice! (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22524: As a Sarries fan, you got me with the red herrings. Good grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #22525: Excellent, intelligent grid. Thank you for no celebs or Harry Potter ! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22522: @ Lowech, that means that there is no unique correct solution. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22525: Good fun! I guessed Popes simply of Innocent so a lucky guess for me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lowech @ #22522: Yes that was by design (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #22516: Hi Kal. The name of the film is Rogue One. It isn't the first in a series of rogue movies, its a reference to a call sign used in universe. Hope that clears that up. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #22519: 'Of' York, not 'in' (orange) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jeannette @ #22520: I put USA currency.....😶 (4 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #4165: I thought it was good! Thanks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22522: Michelle is also a Beatles song so can be interchanged with Madonna and Rita Ora. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kevinmak @ #22511: I put 'fairy tales' for Snow White, Cinderella, etc as they were originally Grimms' Fairy Tales before Disney made them into films (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22433: Decent. I was marked wrong for the elements because I didn't state they had one letter symbols, which seemed harsh - I guess that would have been dealt with on the show by VCM asking for a more specific answer. I really like the hero names group, it was pleasing to spot that. (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22501: Thanks, Galdone. I did consider that, but felt that mic and mike are alternative abbreviations (I am involved with live music and so see both written quite frequently). However, I've just done a quick search and the top link - which I'm not allowed to supply, but it's on the Mental Floss site - states that "mic" is becoming more popular, for the noun at least ("micing up" an amp looks too weird!). So, as the drop is a relatively recent concept, I think you're probably right that it should generally be used with "mic". (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kal @ #22516: The Star Wars reference of 'One' is inconsistent with the other answers, all of which contain the actual NAME of the film. You might as well have 'One, Two, Three" otherwise. (4 years, 11 months ago)

rel dom andy @ #48: good je suis liked it (4 years, 11 months ago)

rel @ #22433: it was brilliantly challenging and so satisfying to finally solve. (4 years, 11 months ago)

dom @ #22433: amazing. very good fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

Malcolm @ #22510: lances a bit ropey - you've mixed Lance, lance, separate word and part of a word:( (4 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #22513: Need to accept suffixes for football team names I suggest. Categories a little bit too similar (4 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #22351: Mr B - Apologies, yes. Typo. (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22506: Clever cream red herring, I only got beds at the last l minute. Great fun. (4 years, 11 months ago)

SF7 @ #22400: Lindybeige - Google definitions of hot then come back to me. Thanks. a - Part of making this quizzes involves creating options that can fall into multiple categories, it increases the difficult. If you like, there are easier quizzes available on here that maybe more suited to you. Lindyhop - Thanks for your well thought out feedback. John - A few response. I, and the rest of Scotland, pronounce it Q-8. Your country may pronounce it differently. Turkey is deliberately easy and obvious so that some people may look past it. Sounds like this worked. If that's how you'd categorise cartoon characters/body parts then fair but this is how I've done mine. Thanks. NiceGuySi - Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. mal - Without being overly pedantic, you can see the connections obviously. As above, some of them were meant to be obvious to catch out those who overthink. Sounds like it worked again. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22497: That’s fair. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22514: Honestly, not a very good wall at all. No red herrings, no difficulty, not to mention a spelling mistake. It’s ELSA, not Ella. (4 years, 11 months ago)

pedant @ #22492: MIckey Rooney also released albums and therefore you can swap him over with William Shatner and the grid answer still works, so there is not a unique solution. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22498: @ DH. Thank you. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vanillaal @ #22506: Very nice grid. I got lost down a rabbit hole of looking for 'cream' connections. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Galdone @ #22501: Good but the microphone that you drop is not 'Mike' - it's 'mic'. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Halomo @ #22505: You have two philips (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22498: very enjoyable (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22496: Great grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22497: “no” is the link and answer no matter how common an expression. I wouldn’t make answering spectacularly particular and twist myself in knots to avoid awarding points. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #19972: Not for me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Brazillian @ #6140: Bossa Nova is NOT a dance (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mickle @ #22499: Good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

ChippyD @ #22496: One group quite weak. Another features a pretty uncommon word (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22499: My ignorance of Geo Cohen made it tough, but I got 10/10 in the end. Embarassed at hoe long it took to notice those cities! NB I typed "Greek Homer iliad" to try to cover all bases for that group and it didn't let me have it - I awarded myself the point ;) (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19972: RACIST AF (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22500: I found that v hard, only got 2/10 :( My ignorance of Hair and 3/4 of the archers group meant I would never get those, but I don;t think they're unfair. Perhaps having to identify a 2 letter word hidden in another is a bit tough. (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #22502: I thought that was excellent. I only scored 6/10, because I didn't know Oliver Wolcott, and so ran out of lives clicking potential Olivers, but I balanced this by guessing the last group were tanks, because they sounded like they might be! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22493: Excellent grid...it took me a refresh after spotting the Neds with 10 seconds left! (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #519: Very good, hard but fair groups. I got 7/10, I didn't get the stock group, though I have no argument with it. My criticisms would be a) if you're going to hide 3 letter words inside others, using obscure vocab seems a bit harsh, and b) as alumn(i)um is spelt differently, it seems an odd example of a different pronunciation. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #19992: Body parts rather than limbs, but not bad (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #2748: Nice for the most part. I agree that the solutions were of a similar nature in 3 of the 4 groups, though they were all subtly different in construction. I didn't quite get -itude, and put "abbreviations on a map", which seems stupid in retrospect. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22499: Nice grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

gappy @ #583: Strong, good neckwear red herrings. Pretty easy, but a decent introduction to the game. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20007: Weak. And dubious! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20011: Ice doesn't rhyme with itself! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22497: Famous Jerries then. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20037: Your parks and bridges ones don't fly ( mixing singular and plurals) (4 years, 11 months ago)

jelo @ #18813: the calcium carbonate group is also types of white color in paints, didnt accept it :( (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22495: Apologies for the spelling error. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22497: Jerry Mouse, a famous PERSON?? Come along!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

LW @ #22448: Very good! (4 years, 11 months ago)

knife @ #22495: Would have been tighter if the Girls one had all come after the clue word. Also, I'm with Galdone, the wrong spelling makes it virtually impossible. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22497: @Keir H. Yes, it's tricky (impossible?) to get around it because of the way that the checking algorithm works. Anyway, I gave myself the point! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Keir H @ #22497: if somebody were to type in a word that had no relation to the word no but contained it between the letters then it would've accepted it but still a bad move on my end (4 years, 11 months ago)

Galdone @ #22495: Please check your spelling -cannon has 2 ns- impossible to solve if not spelt correctly! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22497: The only grid that I've got close to solving in about the last ten. Thank you! It didn't accept No as an answer. I guess that it's a problem to include No in the list of possible solutions as it would mean that so many wrong answers are accepted. (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22489: I think Nemo's father's name is Marlon or Marlin, not Merlin. As it happens, I got that group anyway because I just wrote "disney characters," as I was thinking of Merlin from The Sword in the Stone. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22447: Outrageous. Infuriating. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22491: Excellent, well put together. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22492: Ooft. No chance. Political link and that was it :( (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22495: Saw all the groups but couldn’t bring it home. Never heard of a few boy/girl entries. Good grid. Thumbs up. (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #18732: Generally, all these groups are far too similar to each other. Some of them even accept the same answers. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22447: Dogger & Fisher can be interchanged therefore not giving a unique solution, very hard grid, but some good idea's (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22457: Party: Absolutely right about that. That's an oversight on my part. I added the singular but not the plural. Apologies! (4 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #22479: Maybe this is a British/American dialect difference, but I feel like, although a tongue-twister is a real thing, I wouldn't say that a tongue is a thing that can be twisted. "To twist one's tongue," isn't a phrase you'd use, is it? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Dan @ #22447: Good luck solving that in 3 mins! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22495: Yep. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22493: Nice. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bob @ #22480: Not bad. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bob @ #22486: Not bad. Duplicated answers would normally be unfair, but as each pair belong to the same group it was OK. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Liam Agate @ #22494: Superb. What a legend the creator must be. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22493: Surely, towns/cities of Belgium? I only got that wrong. 7/10. Enjoyed it otherwise. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Flanners @ #22469: Great grid. Mystifying at first then brilliant once it clicks! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Timbo @ #22487: Superb puzzle. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #22466: Very good indeed. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Vanillaal @ #22418: Best grid I've seen in a long time (4 years, 11 months ago)

taildragger @ #22448: Very hard for me, 1/10. Not a fan of collective nouns as many of them are disputed, there's no single authority and - above all - most of them are quite silly and rarely used in real life. (4 years, 11 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22491: Apologies to anyone that did my previous grid 22246, this will be very easy! I have tweaked it based on the comments so hopefully this one is better. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22490: Easy to sort, but the connections?....jeez (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22490: Exactly the same as Bearcules (4 years, 11 months ago)

HumpDay @ #22478: Fab.....7/10 but nicely done (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sheilabob @ #10577: Subjects not too obscure so well constructed (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22490: Very easy to sort the categories but two of them were quite odd (Portsmouth) and Halo. I got 6/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Wizard63 @ #17728: Almost didn't get a set because I refused to believe the fourth Jones film existed. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kevin @ #683: One of the better ones (4 years, 11 months ago)

DIlligaf @ #22426: MY first one on this site ! Nice n easy (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22486: Thought the duplicates were easy to work out. However, I couldnt get some of the links so only got 6/10. Trying too hard to be clever maybe? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22487: Only got 3/10. Felt like the muppets group should have accepted Sesame Street too... (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22488: Tough! I got all the groups but only knew one of the connections. 5/10. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Kit @ #17430: Good grid; got tripped up by Cluedo - in America the game is called Clue and I did don’t change my spelling. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22489: Nicely themed. Mother sauce was new to me. I guess that just shows how little time I spend in the kitchen. (4 years, 11 months ago)

jrrrr @ #8403: I selected the saws one 3 times because I was sure i was crazy but it kept failing (4 years, 11 months ago)

jrrrr @ #1396: I said "sword fighting" for "gain mount shamed bout" and got it right somehow. (4 years, 11 months ago)

IanGecko @ #4548: Apparently just "countries" works for one of the groups (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22486: They work in this case because each of the pairs fall in the same group. Knowing that the author knows this just makes solving the grid easier. It's a fun twist. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #22486: Doubles do not work - simple - because you can't profess which 'version' of a particular double is right or wrong. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22483: @DH Well done! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20077: WUT?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20081: NONE of that made sense. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22479: excellent grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22483: 10/10 with 10s on the clock. cheers (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20086: different, good (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20090: grids broken (4 years, 11 months ago)

jelo @ #19325: WHERE IS AETEES? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20101: Sort your spelling errors out! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20110: weak (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20120: easy but nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22485: buttons aren't a ''bar''.. they're button shaped! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22482: Good one, about the right level of difficulty for me. Agree with Jime, about the stool, plus most of the horses I have put a bet on! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Louise @ #3456: Agreed with previous poster - Roman Deities could also be Planets (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22487: Liked it. Didn't know anything about the Nana group. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22486: I was thinking of doing something similar with two David's, Phil's and Martin's but I've been beaten to it. :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22486: I like the intentional and valid use of duplicates even though it still upsets me to see it lol. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22486: Hmmm. Not sure what to make of those dupes. What do others think? (4 years, 11 months ago)

lockhart @ #22476: Aetees, always enjoy your grids and usually get 10/10! We must think alike and have similar interests. Wonder if you always do well on mine too as a result? (Not that you have to, but my most recent is about 15ish before this!) Keep up the good work (4 years, 11 months ago)

Strickster @ #22478: Stumped me, pretty tricky, but loved the themes....good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22486: Made me smile. (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22457: easy but fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22484: I'd change the e.e. as cummings only ever used it as lower case. Nice otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mr B @ #22351: You mean alternative. Alternate is when you switch back and forth between choices. (4 years, 11 months ago)

the judge @ #22466: one of the better grids i've come across in a while! creative and hard but solvable (4 years, 11 months ago)

aa @ #22482: Lovely, liked the categories. Stumped by Dumpty! The capitalisation made the transport group stand out more FYI. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jime @ #22482: Stools can have three legs (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22480: Really good. I got 10/10! (4 years, 11 months ago)

JJ @ #22361: School exams use a numbered grading system these days. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #22482: @Peter - if you think #22482 is good, check out #22481, it's a belter (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #22482: Good, but nowhere near as good as #22482. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22481: Nice, good mix of subjects (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22482: Nice and diverse. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22480: Nice. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22479: Really tough and really enjoyable. (4 years, 11 months ago)

percypig @ #22469: Really amazing grid, wish I had more time as well! Also, for the comic book led group, ironically the acronym used to describe this particular group isn't accepted. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22475: Nice and quirky. Another one for which I needed (much) more time. :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22469: Nicely done. I feel that there should be a 5 (10?!) minute time limit for grids like this. :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22476: Enjoyed it. Nice traps. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22468: Nice and tricky! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Year 12 maths @ #184: Not bad. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Party @ #22442: The police link I thought was quite weak. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Party @ #22457: I put 'parties' and it was incorrect. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sass @ #22360: Good grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #22457: I put 'cricket' for one connection, which works just as well. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #21897: Ran out of time but got three connections. the presidents tripped me up ! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #21912: Ran out of time but got most of the connections not a bad quiz! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #21934: not bad quiz. Last clues didn't make sense but I got them all and in time. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Calum @ #7206: Stumped me but it was a good one. Nice that none of the connections turned out be letters of the alphabet! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Calum @ #423: winter ball? good call? dry wall? Not one of the greats. (4 years, 11 months ago)

leilah @ #16685: great fun (4 years, 11 months ago)

Aseem @ #22450: Noted. I have a newer one up. #22468. Please check that out! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Steve T @ #22457: Excellent (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22466: Enjoyed it. "Knew" that Oscar Foxtrot must contain something but still didn't get it in time. (4 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #22466: Sorry I didn't include "letter" as a key-word for the group with Golf! I hope what you write still gets counted, and if you did just write "letter", please know that you were correct in your reasoning! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Westy @ #8678: VERY abstract (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ian McGecko @ #13723: Why did you put Jackson's nickname in but all the other generals just had their last names? (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22435: Ooops. Used the wrong sign-in! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22435: @ DH. Thank you, that's very kind of you. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22435: I thought it would be good, and it was. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ian McGecko @ #10121: Brilliant! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #22457: Good grid. As a bonus link, the words in the Banquet group all entered English from French. (4 years, 11 months ago)

K @ #3712: Excellent grid. First one I haven’t cracked at least 3 of. (4 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #423: I wasn't sure about the categories until I thought about two of them together (ball and hall). I love it when there's a larger theme! (4 years, 11 months ago)

little G @ #8199: nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

little G @ #4155: im going to bill you for the damage done to my computer (4 years, 11 months ago)

flas @ #22321: this was pretty good, quite hard, the "40" category stumped me, and MLB was a great redherring for Major League Baseball - Middle Line Backer (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22437: I think you need to have Irish pronunciation to get the garden/nature row! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Christopher Gadd @ #22450: One-dimensional and the author obviously doesn't get the point (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20216: The countries one is weak ( Usain Bolt isn't a ''word'' for starters) , good effort otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20238: daisies and chrysanths aren't necessarily yellow ( in fact, most aren't!) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Gavin @ #22443: Very hard but very good quality! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20241: the ''lethal at diff times'' is a dodgy one!! nice otherwise (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20242: I input 3 right answers ( sugars etc) and it didn't accept any of them, I think you have a massive glitch! (4 years, 11 months ago)

little G @ #6833: love it (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20252: the cancer one lets down a fair grid, too un-specific (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20255: ''first names of authors of set texts'' is a pretty poor category (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20261: The double letters round is weedy. Lets down a fair grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20276: easy but nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22455: Hi, could you elaborate on who the twins and ginger people are? They've mostly stumped me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22451: I think they've put the underline at the wrong end in the description. They're all words that follow "Health" although it's "Health & Wellbeing Week". (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22451: The Shakespeare clues are genius. I'm a bit confused by the health one, though. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ian McGecko @ #14884: Solved the wall in 35 seconds but the toilet category got away from me. Good one! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ian @ #56: Solved it with one second left! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22450: I agree with DLandonCole too! (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22450: I agree with Grumpy, but don't be discouraged. I like having less Euro- and Amero- centric clues, and the link categories you gave are interesting. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22450: These grids don't work very well when you have two identical answers like "Uttar Pradesh". The software distinguishes between the two depending on which line you put them on when you submitted the grid but it's not possible for the solver to tell them apart. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22448: I fell for the Orwell traps, hook, line and sinker. Very nice. (4 years, 11 months ago)

bloof @ #22437: That forth row with Flour etc is tenuous (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22447: Excellent! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Sarah @ #22437: Yes Smolenkoy. I don't get it!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Timbo @ #22430: Epitaph. Really? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #22434: Agree with Bob, The Indian Ocean is not an overseas territory. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #22445: Me too. Nice grid. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22445: I love the Rootes clue! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Claire @ #22416: Great grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #22430: It's epithet not epitaph. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22431: Was ok, found the categories a bit tenuous. 6/10 for me. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bob @ #22434: How can an ocean be an overseas territory? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22440: Well I got all the groups but only one of the connections. Tough! But enjoyable. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22442: I enjoyed this. I got 6/10 as couldn't get two of the categories. It was only when I saw the 4 palindromes that it clicked and I sighed audibly. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1251: Sterile 16 names. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1252: Proper nouns have a capital letter, otherwise it's a spelling mistake. Better to start each word with a capital. Romania, Berlingo, Muskateller, Bernadotte. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1253: Very easy - 32 seconds to complete. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22237: ran out of time and got confused about caretaker and governor??? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Jucol530 @ #22437: That fourth row? Really? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1335: Add a S to make synonyms of another word. That's tough. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22267: re- done this quiz only got one incorrect. is this cheating?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1379: Very straightforward. No crossovers. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22269: I put scalawags for first answer, not acceptable? OK not a bad quiz though (4 years, 11 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22440: Outrageous, fun, demoralising, excellent! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22443: Wow, tough. Really good red herrings too. I only scraped 3/10 (but it is Monday morning). (4 years, 11 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22440: asdf: it is supposed to be fiendish therefore it is supposed to be very difficult. There are clues however. Stewie immediately clues you into Family Guy and Peter means that it's either meant to be a red herring or it definitely is the group; Consuela and Death are the only other names on the board and Consuela is a Mexican name, designed to put the idea of Mexico, however faintly, in the player's head. Famine and Death clue you into the four horsemen. Knowing the colours associated with the horses is a level of a quizzer's general knowledge I would expect to complete a fiendish grid. It's common practice to look at the beginnings and endings of words to see if they contain smaller words that are connected. Sol and Corona are very well known Mexican beers in the UK, Bohemia and Superior are less well known but still quite familiar. Solmization is a system of associating each note of a scale with a particular syllable. The answer to the last grid is literally on the board. (4 years, 11 months ago)

er @ #22437: Pretty sure Bill doesn't fit into it's group. You could have One or Two, there's even an argument for Volume - but not Bill. (4 years, 11 months ago)

asdf @ #22440: this is too difficult (4 years, 11 months ago)

Drew @ #685: Similarly to lil phil, I put "french" in as a desperate guess because I saw fin and got credit for it. Just thought that was funny. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22443: Nice. Great red herrings. If I'd been familiar with Moth, I'd have done better! (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22371: FYI Bugle and Euphonium are not wind instruments; they are brass (they have no reed) (4 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #22416: Excellent as ever (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22437: I think that an Irish accent helps! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Smolenkoy @ #22437: Very difficult apart from the moon row. For the benefit of the ignoramuses , like me!, could you please reveal what "Three" and "Torn" represent in the garden or nature? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20281: easy but fun! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22440: Tricky! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20286: ''translated surnames''?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20287: The river group was weak (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20297: Madagascar isn't a city! Even if it was, the M group was weedy. Let down an otherwise ok grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20328: Nice! Easy ish but different to most (4 years, 11 months ago)

Drew @ #10899: This one was very fun to figure out! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20333: So ''springsteen'' '' fighter planes'' AND ''animated movies'' ALL disallowed?? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20335: You're seriously disallowing Discworld? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20354: That ''lateral thinking'' one not only makes NO sense, but please don't use terms like ''midget''!! (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20364: ''hard luck'' etc are phrases not words (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20364: ''hard luck'' etc are phrases not words (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20387: Something other/better than ''scenery'' would help! Good effort though (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20392: Juliet has one 't' in the phonetic alphabet ( yes, it REALLY does) (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20394: Did you mean Jeff Kinney? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20398: easy but nice (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20404: That's VERY specific.. (4 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #12552: I put down mutants for the x men and it was not correct. It should be. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22439: Interesting grid. I might be tempted to put 'skeletal' and 'muscular' to go with 'systems', and perhaps change 'organs' for, say, 'circulatory'. Unfortunately, you have skeleton twice, which doesn't really work. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #15026: Great fun. Nice one. (4 years, 11 months ago)

The boys @ #15026: This is the dumbest shit I've ever done (4 years, 11 months ago)

GOD IS CRINGE @ #368: Atheism rocks (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22438: Educational. It seems that I'm not as good a guesser as I thought I was :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #22430: Conqueror and bastard were the same bloke I think - also, aren't they epithets, not epitaphs? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20456: easy but nice, a bit different (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #20463: easy (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22427: @ mal. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Marc @ #22437: Nice degree of difficulty, good mix (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22435: @ mal. Thanks and well done. "Draw" is possibly not great for that group? (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22427: Pretty easy but a solid effort (4 years, 11 months ago)

mal @ #22435: That was harder than some hard ones ( still got it though) . Maybe tweak your 'spell' group a little. Pretty good overall (4 years, 11 months ago)

Finale of Eternity etc.... @ #238: Better to change parts of speech for copies: replica --> replicate ? (4 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #22431: OK - Not great (4 years, 11 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22428: Nicely done good wall. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22430: I don't want to stir up any Nationalist feelings but I think that they're English monarchs rather than British. :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22430: Nice. (4 years, 11 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #22426: What is a damlation? I assume it's balck and white. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22429: Nice. Enjoyed it even though it exposed my lack of knowledge of geography. :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22407: @ Ade. Thanks. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. It's nice to get feedback. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #22407: Lovely grid. Enjoyed it and got full marks! Thanks MereNovice. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #22400: Since when is 'hot' the opposite of 'out of form' or 'passive'? (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22407: @ noodles. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #22407: Nice wall! Was annoyingly stuck for too long on Baker, Hurt, and McCoy, even though there wasn't a fourth! Nicely done :-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22398: Is that a good fiendish or... :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22430: Really good! (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22427: @ DLandonCole. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22421: @ DLandonCole. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Clare @ #22428: Spicy! (4 years, 11 months ago)

PA @ #22428: Fabulous Wall (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22417: @ DLandonCole. Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. (4 years, 11 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22428: Nice and tricky. (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22417: I forgot that Troi from ST:TNG is spelt with an 'i' at the end and was trying to find a connection between Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, and two other things on the board! Loved the grid (4 years, 11 months ago)

a @ #22400: agree with previous comments, Godel will strangle you for all those sets containing themselves (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22418: Thankyou :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22421: Excellent - I loved the palindrome clue. Really good. I only managed to get the children's characters :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22427: I was caught out by the French red herrings too! Super grid! (4 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #22421: Very challenging! Got the William group pretty quickly but was well and truly stumped by the rest! Great job :) (4 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #22426: Good wall, quite easy but well thought out :-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22427: @ noodles. Thanks. (4 years, 11 months ago)

noodles @ #22427: Great wall! Very enjoyable. Caught out by the French red herrings :-) (4 years, 11 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22427: @ Poohbear - The French Disease is syphilis (although different countries give it different names). (4 years, 11 months ago)

Poohbear @ #22427: What is French Disease?! (4 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22398: Fiendish. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21705: Well come on then lol.. (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22417: @ Puzzled. Thanks. Yes, my descriptive powers failed me ... badly! I wanted to emphasise why the correct spelling of the word wasn't allowed in each group, e.g.. wharf wasn't part of the group for places to moor a boat. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22417: Nice one! Only gripe is that none of these are misspelt. ;) (4 years, 12 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22418: What an excellent grid. They all link and yet don't, just how it should be. Well, three do. Loved it. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21709: Word ones work better when they're all prefixes or suffixes in one row. Mixed them is confusing (4 years, 12 months ago)

DarrenF @ #22412: 8 pts but needed all the time. Lots of crossover tempters. Nick Offerman is the best part of Parks and Recreation. Has a stand up special from years back. Ron Swanson!!!!!! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Finale of Eternity can suck a fat one @ #98: SOLFEGE!! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Finale of Eternity can suck a fat one @ #10711: Super cool theme, would give 6*! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Mickle @ #22412: Never heard of Offerman. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #13879: I like! (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #8199: That 3rd row was horrific! Well done :D (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #22426: easy but quite nice (4 years, 12 months ago)

oh @ #6140: top notch wall gurt lush (4 years, 12 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22414: Don't worry about the double Fe, the grid still works and it's a good one. (4 years, 12 months ago)

oh @ #4517: I send this wish for your birthday That the whole day will fill you with joy That your presents will be wrapped in bogroll And your new partner will be called Rot (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22417: @ NiceGuySi. Thanks. I wasn't sure that it was going to work. (4 years, 12 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22416: Really great! A different and enjoyable way of doing it. (4 years, 12 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22417: I liked it, especially Worf and Wharf (4 years, 12 months ago)

oh @ #6050: dear (4 years, 12 months ago)

Ben @ #15868: Too easy and no red herrings. Not good (4 years, 12 months ago)

MK @ #22301: The numbers category could just be "numbers" unless you were to throw in other numbers that aren't cubes. (4 years, 12 months ago)

MK @ #22358: synonyms didn't work as an answer for some reason (4 years, 12 months ago)

Big Al @ #22412: Who is Offerman? (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22398: Is that a good phew or a bad phew? (4 years, 12 months ago)

Mike @ #237: Loved this one. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22398: Phew! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Mike @ #235: Completely on my wavelength 👍 (4 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #22414: Solved, no probs. Thanks for the grid. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #22416: Lovely grid, great connections. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22416: Nice. "End briefly" - excellent. I had the links but couldn't get the groups in time, even after the grid had resolved it took me a while to work that one out. (4 years, 12 months ago)

kpnuts @ #22414: Sorry Guys, the double Fe was an oversight. I had Be = beryllium on my sheet but went awry. (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22404: @ Jamie . Thanks. (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22407: @ aa @ Smolenskoy. Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. My intention was that people would be fixated on Aston, Baker and Nolan but perhaps Bucks Fizz is a bit obscure for people younger than me. :) (4 years, 12 months ago)

aa @ #22414: Nice and straightforward. Some will not like the double “Fe” as it leads to 2 technically correct solutions but it’s not difficult enough to prevent solving in time (4 years, 12 months ago)

jollycorpse @ #22413: Unsure why this grid exists as it is the same as #22412. Two grids created from a single submission. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22407: Agree with aa, excellent grid, adult and clever (4 years, 12 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #22414: Good grid (4 years, 12 months ago)

Jamie @ #22325: Enjoyable grid (4 years, 12 months ago)

Jamie @ #22330: Good grid (4 years, 12 months ago)

aa @ #22407: Wonderful work. I was fixated on Aston Martin for too long knowing it was a herring. Thanks for the confusion! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Odysseus Himself @ #22410: This is the best grid ever (4 years, 12 months ago)

aa @ #22409: Enjoyably straightforward (4 years, 12 months ago)

Jamie @ #22404: Good grid. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #22408: Good one. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Lindyhop @ #22400: Rubbish (4 years, 12 months ago)

pykrete jungle @ #22387: great grid, really fun. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Jime @ #22405: Good grid. I could see it being used on the show (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22399: Tbh, I wasn't massively happy with this one. I was trying to do something based on ranks, but, as you can see, it didn't work out. (4 years, 12 months ago)

SeandaSheep @ #22408: It really wasn’t (4 years, 12 months ago)

Madeline @ #22408: This was a brilliant PuzzGrid (4 years, 12 months ago)

Deserter85 @ #22391: I knew that Key was a group, but never thought of map as I always knew of it as a Legend, rather than a map key. (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22396: @ Puzzled. Thanks. Really appreciate the feedback. The input mechanism insists on a capital for the first letter of each cell. Also, it would have spoilt my Halo Gen red herring! (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22404: @ Only Me. Thanks, it's nice to get feedback. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22396: Great grid, one of the few that gets the Only Connect feel spot on. Only suggestion for improvement would be that the I should probably be lowercase... (4 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #22404: Nice one. Thanks (4 years, 12 months ago)

seriously @ #4165: What the f is the "Crystal maze" (4 years, 12 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22391: Good fun but key group a bit hard (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22278: Groups that involve adding something before or after have to be consistent in whether the addition is a separate word (e.g. "Rock Band") or a suffix/prefix to the given term (e.g. "Wristband"). Can't be a combination of both. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #566: Oh I LOVE this!! two nice nods to only connect as well :) (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22321: "Presidents" is a little too broad a category. Try narrowing it to something like presidents of OPEC nations or East Asian heads of state. (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22366: My only complaint is that "island nations" seems a little too broad (plus the issue that's already been mentioned with the flag of Peru). (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #1875: easy but nicely constructed, some unusual categories (4 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #22387: Brilliant! Thank you. Right up my street. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #10899: That was bonkers but I couldn't help like it! (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22365: With the cat group, you need to make sure all four work either as one word (like "catnip") or as two words (like "cat cafe"), but not a combination of both. I've also never heard of a cat cafe, but maybe that's just me. (4 years, 12 months ago)

MereNovice @ #22396: @ aa Thank you. That's the nicest (only!) thing anyone has ever said about one of my grids. (4 years, 12 months ago)

aa @ #22377: seas, seas, seas… was too fixated on seas to see sense. 5/10 (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22405: I'd not heard of dead soldier before, and I thought it might have been the title of a Kipling poem (to go with If). Fun grid! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22405: Nice. Got the links after the grid was resolved. I always think that is a sign of a good wall (and my slowness!). (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22367: Needs one or two red herrings, and you CAN'T have the same thing in there twice. Acrylic would work as a red herring if it were only there once. Also, suede is not a fabric. It's a type of leather. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #7712: very easy ( 17 secs) but a nice set (4 years, 12 months ago)

aa @ #22388: Really well done. Excellent herrings bringing the score down to 6. (4 years, 12 months ago)

James @ #22392: The red herrings in this one were very well constructed. (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22378: No red herrings, which makes it bland. Also, the spelling of "sugar" is wrong given your own details of that group. (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #1396: Works well. Just very easy. Wouldn't categorize as Medium. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #10711: good one (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22399: Boring to have the entire grid be essentially a single connection with four subgroups. The four groups should be entirely unrelated to each other. (4 years, 12 months ago)

aa @ #22396: Frustratingly good (4 years, 12 months ago)

John @ #22400: A few points: • "Q8" (kew-ate) is not a homophone of Kuwait (koo-wate). • Turkey is not a homophone either; it's the exact same word. • Pick either cartoon characters or hidden body parts as a connection, not both. It's redundant. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #186: nice but very easy (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #3712: not ''hard'' but decent (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #8355: not ''hard'' but enjoyable (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #12552: good one (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #2748: nice, but easy (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20573: This grids a mess too! (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20575: That grids a mess! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Ade @ #22378: Agree with Mouse (D.P.) (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20626: Nice! I like grids that are a bit different (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20639: Fun but I'm so over GoT references! (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20641: solid grid (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20643: Your round two definition is way off (4 years, 12 months ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22400: Quite easy but good fun. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20671: WRUNG not wringed (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20662: I don't understand the last category (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #20684: Squares ARE ''the power of 2''. Nice unusual grid otherwise (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #22400: ''turkey''SOUNDS like ''turkey''?? Brain contains body part ''brain''?? You need to rethink this one a fair bit.. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Malcolm @ #22395: Yep, fiendish is appropriate. I'm not familiar with the Basement Jaxx, or their spelling of Rendez-vu might have been a giveaway. The (mostly) electric ones aren't electromagnetism. Watts are units of power rather than necessarily electrical (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22397: Interesting! I'm not sure that the 'opposites' group works, though. (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22397: Interesting! I'm not sure that the 'opposites' group works, though. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Madeline @ #22397: It was Brilliant (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22395: Nice. Too difficult for me (but that's not hard). Saw two of the themes but still couldn't get them in time. (4 years, 12 months ago)

wayne @ #484: I scrolled, and now I feel bad about my earlier statement: you already learned of your mistake like nine years ago. I'm over my rage. Please go in peace, ronpadz; the drinks/tools thing was fun. (4 years, 12 months ago)

JD @ #22391: Nice one! (4 years, 12 months ago)

JD @ #22367: I think the two Acrylics actually made it easier: two meanings for the word and both are answers. I enjoyed it though. Thanks! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22378: Some times I don't mind not knowing the answer. (4 years, 12 months ago)

knife @ #22388: Perhaps a tad highbrow, but the Hastings one was a smashing red herring. I'm with Grumpy on the Naseby spelling (4 years, 12 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22389: Nice one only just got song. Well done. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Widger @ #19020: Scottish town should be Livingston? (4 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #22392: Lovely grid, thanks. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #22389: Didn't get the Song clue - very good (4 years, 12 months ago)

Bagsy33 @ #22390: Couldn't work out the Anthony's - nice grid - well thought out (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22388: Enjoyed it. I, too, couldn't separate Watson and Crick. It's Naseby not Naesby, I think. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Keeley @ #22378: Only got the Pokemon (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22387: Fun and educational. Got two groups and with more time would (probably!) have got the others. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Meredith @ #21116: Answers are "a" (4 years, 12 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22367: This was ok, didn't overly enjoy it. Liked the Wizard of Oz clue though which I got late. Got 7/10. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22371: Rally good, enjoyed it a lot. 10/10 yay me! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Daftfool @ #22378: Same as Bearcules! (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22388: I put Crick and Watson together and couldn't get the last two. I really like the Nobel Prize link. (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22389: I really liked the 'song' clue. Completely outfoxed me! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Aylesford Grid Team @ #22387: This is an excellent grid. We had some ideas, but didn't actually get much in the time. Nicely done! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22377: Was good, if singularly themed. Didn't recognise the deserts as I thought there would be a sea category. Got 5/10. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Bearcules @ #22377: Was good, if singularly themed. Didn't recognise the deserts as I thought there would be a sea category. Got 5/10. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Easy @ #19358: way too easy (4 years, 12 months ago)

Weatherwax @ #22366: You're right re: the Peru flag, Devil's advocate. My mistake. No way to fix now unfortunately. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Weatherwax @ #22367: Ah, apologies re: the double acrylic! Totally unintentional mistyping on my part. One of those was supposed to be rayon. No way go back and fix it unfortunately. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22377: Nicely themed. I was poor at Geography at school and it's good to see that I have maintained that level of achievement. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Wladimirowsky @ #22365: Got everything except the Disney link. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Wladimirowsky @ #22366: Really good. Pretty easy, just couldn't get the Hercules link 7/10 for me! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Wladimirowsky @ #22358: Very easy. Enjoyed it though. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #22370: easy but fun and a bit different (4 years, 12 months ago)

Sue @ #19620: Don't bother unless you know the person who made this up. The answers rely on knowing their nicknames for things. The grids have to use GENERAL knowledge. (4 years, 12 months ago)

DLandonCole @ #22320: Thanks, Grumpy. I liked the idea of the weights, but I think in retrospect it was too hard to give answer words. (4 years, 12 months ago)

garth grey @ #22371: Very Good - needed 5 more second though ;) (4 years, 12 months ago)

malcolm @ #22367: Agree with can re two answers being the same and it didn't accept 'paint' for 'types of paint' (4 years, 12 months ago)

James and Deb and Gillian @ #10577: Awesome... (4 years, 12 months ago)

flas @ #18709: when puzzles have a synonym category, I shouldn't have to guess which one the author wrote down, "synonyms of each other" should always do! (4 years, 12 months ago)

James and Deb @ #22370: Smashed it - awesome grid! (4 years, 12 months ago)

flas @ #18772: enjoyable. I would like to point out (and idk if you set it up as a valid answer), but an 'emordnilap' (backwards of palindrome) is defined as a pair of phrases or words that are spelled as mirrors of each other (desserts and stressed, for example) so you should accept that answer (4 years, 12 months ago)

toastie @ #22371: Liked that one a lot! (4 years, 12 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22371: I enjoyed that - lots of references I knew to make me feel clever! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22368: Ignore that! I see that you did!!! :) (4 years, 12 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1510: Good grid (4 years, 12 months ago)

FKJ @ #22351: @Mullybobs - cube and free were the red herrings I believe.... a nice, fun one yes! Good work! A bit too easy side would be my only feedback. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22247: Good grid. Got the hardest clue the space stations but missed the easiest the rings (4 years, 12 months ago)

RD @ #22332: Since when was Miss Peach a Cluedo character (4 years, 12 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22260: I put Eastenders for the first clue how was that wrong??? the rest was easy (4 years, 12 months ago)

Cazlyn @ #22267: good grid. spotted two answers but ran out of time (4 years, 12 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #22362: Fulham are not a premier league team (4 years, 12 months ago)

cjn102 @ #22367: I liked this - particularly the wizard of oz connection which I saw very late and was the key to solving the wall for me! The only issue is I’m not sure it works having the same answer in two different groups - I don’t think the website will recognise they are the same and will need you to pick the ‘correct’ version for each group. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Devils advocaat @ #22366: I was undone by the incorrect use of the flag of Peru in the red and white flag category. The Peru flag clearly includes green, gold and blue as well as red and white and should not be in that group. (4 years, 12 months ago)

K @ #22366: Excellent board! I could figure out the groups but not which items fell into them...ran out of time first! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Puzzled @ #22361: Cryptic style clues don't belong on walls. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Weatherwax @ #22168: Delightful! Loved the Janus words and homographs in particular. (4 years, 12 months ago)

TMI @ #14224: TMI. use commas, yo (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22327: Good knowledge - by you, not me. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22358: Nice. Definitely solvable but I didn't manage to! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Renee @ #22365: Challenging but not too challenging. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22360: Excellent. Sort of knew what the groups were but couldn't get them in time. Got all the links afterwards. Really enjoyed. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #22249: Easy ( 19 sec) but a nice selection (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #22344: Things you find in a bus?? What?? And it's ''leicester'' (4 years, 12 months ago)

Calum. @ #2621: For me, the words were too generic to make connections between them. I felt I had nothing to latch on to! And compass points anagrams is fiendish! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Calum. @ #6672: Very enjoyable. All connections work well, although trees were mainly there as decoys for the others! (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21170: Taking the piss!! (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21043: Common spelling errors isn't a proper category!! Rest of the grid was decent (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21044: The first category is to do with speech/sounds not literary terms (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21086: Deities covers gods/goddesses... (4 years, 12 months ago)

lorna @ #22360: exemplary ! (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21087: A little TOO specific in accepted answers ( harmonic shapes?) I got the categories right but.. (4 years, 12 months ago)

nnn @ #22362: Well big 'ead fred, you should google watford tube station. I believe it is on the Metropolitan line. (4 years, 12 months ago)

mal @ #21089: Found your ( decent) attempt to throw us off the scent early! Nice try though, solid grid (4 years, 12 months ago)

Calum. @ #1708: Too clever by half. Bowel Feast is not a Spoonerism. Hidden animals were good and the other two lines worked nicely. (4 years, 12 months ago)

lorna @ #22362: too many of any one thing (4 years, 12 months ago)

Calum. @ #5633: Sorry. Theme too obvious and no variation. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Calum. @ #8815: The opposite side of a sphere is not necessarily a pole. Otherwise enjoyable. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Mullybobs @ #22351: Nice grid! Would be nice to have some red herrings in a puzzle like this. I always try to list groups of five or six things then try to think of alternate categories for one or more of them. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Craig @ #22349: I was sure there'd be a cat link in there somewhere with Sylvester and Tom, nevermind! Very tricky with everything just being mens names, only managed two links! Muppeeers link was especially difficult. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Craig @ #22346: straightforward, went for 'talk' for the mouth clue but other than that I managed 7 points! (4 years, 12 months ago)

Tomtit @ #6962: Good red herrings. Buzz Lightyear-very clever (4 years, 12 months ago)

SF @ #16717: Instead of brands the answer was 'people make things with logos on them' - that's stupid and I mean that as constructively as possible. Also, you need to spell check. (4 years, 12 months ago)

Grumpy @ #22336: Not really a puzzle grid, just a test of musical knowledge. (4 years, 12 months ago)

lorna @ #22329: i'm going to start looking out for your grids! (5 years ago)

mal @ #22285: So, I didn't get a point because I didn't specify ''northern'' club names?? You couldn't be bothered to write OFAH in full. The mints one was incorrect as you'd mixed plurals and singular ( again) (5 years ago)

mal @ #22286: Chicken DONER not ''donor'' ( among other things). Really awful. And yes, KM, we're all allowed to write the same things as we all have the same issues. (5 years ago)

mcfc @ #3712: good but easy (5 years ago)

Lola @ #204: (5 years ago)

Too right, Giggsy. @ #22299: Also, the Killing Eve/Fleabag categories are a bit crap, particularly if one's only seen one and not the other (like me). (5 years ago)

Trench Rat @ #22311: Yes i thought about that. However i've seen enough people on here complain if you capitalise the start of clues when they're part way through a word. Not an easy one, people tend to find an issue either way so eh, why not :) (5 years ago)

Keir H @ #22311: My biggest strife is that the "pan" group was easy to get because it was all lower case...not a bad start, though. (5 years ago)

Trench Rat @ #22311: Well done, good to hear! Thank you, i'll be sure to put some more together when bored at work. (5 years ago)

MJ @ #22309: Disappointing it didn't accept "sponge" Grid was ok - easy enough because I happened to know the Dr Who line, but I can see why that's too niche for some. Not enough red herrings to make it a great one (5 years ago)

KM @ #22311: I got 7/10! Well done on a first grid. You'll get people moan that it is "too obscure" but that's just their own insecurities about their lack of a wider general knowledge! More please! (5 years ago)

RuthN @ #22282: Meach to mead. Of course. Eh? (5 years ago)

swegrid @ #22301: nice! i got 7/10, just couldn't work out the numbers connection. (5 years ago)

Glyn Parry Davies @ #18457: Numbers could have been anything, and many other numbers could have been used.. too nebulous. (5 years ago)

swegrid @ #22280: oh this was awesome! clever and enjoyable! (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #22301: I liked the Mario and Star Wars categories - I didn't get Mario, though. I thought it was 'fair'. I'm not sure the numbers work - when there are five numbers and everything else is a word, it's too easy to through all the possibilities. (5 years ago)

Holly @ #22286: donor spelled wrongly (5 years ago)

Jolly miser @ #22295: 7/10: got it quite quickly but thought the last group was something it wasn’t- don’t want to give spoilers!! (5 years ago)

flas @ #19417: the "roles in the church" should accept cleric/clergymen. the NFL teams should be "birds which are also NFL mascots" or "NFL mascots which are also birds" (seahawks being the only other one and would likely give a better clue, we usually think one or the other). other than that, great grid!

BinDipper @ #22289: Nice grid. Having got 2 groups I got hung up on thinking one of the other groups had a prefix. Cost me my 3 guesses. (5 years ago)

Grumpy @ #22295: Got two groups then 3 connections. A problem with my knowledge, not the grid. :) (5 years ago)

Greg @ #22295: Excellent grid (5 years ago)

BinDipper @ #22295: Not for me this one. One of the groups isn't, strictly speaking, accurate; and the W group is a pretty tenuous non-specific link. (5 years ago)

Epans @ #22283: Fun and novel! (5 years ago)

cjn102 @ #22295: Very tough. Got two groups in the time, don’t think I’d have ever got the other two but the links were not obscure. Really good grid. (5 years ago)

Epans @ #22296: Fairly easy, but good fun! Enjoyed the crossovers (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22288: Very enjoyable, I liked the crossovers. I managed to get 10/10. (5 years ago)

Enn @ #5890: Good (though I'm mildly disgruntled that "Pre-decimal British currency" wasn't accepted). Some interesting red herrings. Perhaps a little easy, but fun! (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22289: Lovely grid, great crossovers and red herrings. I got 10/10! Really enjoyed this one. (5 years ago)

Enn @ #357: A wall which kept me guessing, though "Names or things that begin with Jack" is maybe a bit too tricky, especially as only one of them is a thing that begins with Jack -- maybe just think of a fourth famous / fictional Jack and keep it (relatively) simple. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22290: Enjoyed this grid, good red herrings. I got 7/10 - though the thorne category might have been ants. (5 years ago)

rabbit @ #22289: Awesome! (5 years ago)

McNerd @ #22276: You stole the Friends link from the previous grid! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22272: Not so good, sorry. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22278: What was that Good Place reference? Never heard of it! (5 years ago)

Garth Grey @ #22280: Brilliant - very tough - saw the link but still took three goes to get through it (5 years ago)

Calpol Cal @ #22272: I feel like 'online stores' should be acceptable (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #22286: It's chicken donner, not chicken donor (at least in English English spelling). (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22285: Enjoyable, was fairly straightforward. Got 7/10 as didn't recognise the OFAH names. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22286: Was ok, not heard of a chicken donor though. Didn't accept the answer band names which I thought it should have done. I got 7/10. (5 years ago)

Drew @ #8355: In order for the Spanish/Italian "yes" to be correct, there needs to be an accent. Very nice grid with great red herrings! (5 years ago)

MariaTheDog @ #22270: Enjoyed this grid. (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22262: poems category random and inconsistent. Doesn't work (5 years ago)

Wladimirowsky @ #22279: Chrome has 4 colours (5 years ago)

Welcome @ #22279: Good grid, although the pedant in me feels the need to point out that instead of fox it should be Panda (specifically a Red Panda. (5 years ago)

Mary Berry @ #583: I liked this one very much! 🤪 (5 years ago)

Mr Smith @ #10577: Wonderful wonderful wonderful grid some people on here should take note of this grid to show you how to make proper grids!!!! (5 years ago)

Frankly Shankly @ #10577: My first grid so I was pleased to see all subjects I knew. Nice red herrings. (5 years ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22247: Just missed because the Tomato is a fruit. (5 years ago)

Bob @ #18103: Interesting puzzle which made me think but needs answers which group the four together. Did they not fully understand that part of the puzzle? (5 years ago)

Bob @ #22059: Creator is over compensating perhaps? 🍆 (5 years ago)

Larry. @ #22240: Suffix: a morpheme added at the end of a word to form a derivative (e.g. -ation, -fy, -ing, -itis). Which would make Nottscounty, Rosscounty, etc. Thanks. (5 years ago)

jelo @ #22163: i put literature and didnt get the point :( (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #22252: I'm not sure about rent as a synonym for tear. Rent is torn, rend is tear (5 years ago)

Only Me @ #22258: Liked this, thanks. (5 years ago)

barry @ #583: nice (5 years ago)

jelo @ #22133: DUDE, Luke is NOT an apostle. Luke was a student of an apostle. They are all evangelists (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #22256: Patty and Selma as Marge's sisters (and google tells me Jacqueline) are Bouvier not Simpson. Renaissance art is a vague category (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #22258: 3 groups related to film/TV and one sport is very hard if they are not your areas.. (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #13129: Got the hallmarks by grouping things that might be pubs! (5 years ago)

Galdone @ #22252: Swatch is a word - it's a small piece of fabric such as you might bring home to check whether it matches paint or furniture. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #13980: I agree, not bad at all ... (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22252: Ouch, this was hard work. Thought there would be a category for fairy- (Fairy Tale, Fairy Light,...) but no... I only got 3/10. (5 years ago)

RocketMan @ #22247: Great grid. (5 years ago)

RejectedSam @ #22207: A trapezoid is not a 3d shape. That would be a trapezoidal prism. (5 years ago)

BadiVasi @ #22257: Rather difficult. Got only the one with blue and white flags. Isn't really very workable. But the connects themselves weren't too bad. (5 years ago)

Mullybobs @ #19886: Awesome grid. Could see all the connections but missed out on the final two groups because of the excellently placed red herrings. Ended up with 6/10 but great satisfaction. (5 years ago)

Pan @ #22247: Tomato is a fruit (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22247: Really enjoyed this grid. Got 10/10. Very clever interplay between categories. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22246: Gosh, that was great. I only got 1/10. Really well done with the multiple red herrings. One of the best grids I've seen. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22245: Enjoyable. Liked the crossovers and red herrings. I got 4/10. (5 years ago)

Keir H @ #22252: One minor issue - do you mean Witch instead of Watch? Because Swatch isn’t a word. (5 years ago)

Bald Fraud @ #22248: Dank AF (5 years ago)

Bald Fraud @ #22252: Spicy (5 years ago)

jelo @ #22185: i put cookies too and didnt get a point :/ (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22244: I got 7/10, didn't get the anagrams - thought that was a bit tenuous. Good though. (5 years ago)

alys @ #2820: was betrayed by the marvel superheroes also hulk is in marvel too (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22243: Toughy, especially the war category. Only managed 4/10. Who knew James Blunt could be so popular? (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22241: Fnar! Tricky this one. Scraped a 5/10. (5 years ago)

alys @ #2701: as a english literature stduent i hated it (5 years ago)

Badivasi @ #48: Too easy, took me twenty seconds to solve the grid. Not too many crossovers. The palindromes were rather obvious, and the anagrams were good. Kudos on that! I guess I was fortunate that I saw the British clue immediately. Effects of colonial rule. (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22253: Great grid (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22240: Really enjoyed this. Took me right up to the end of the time but got there in the end, scored 10/10. I liked the crossover between clues. For some reason I was convinced one of the clues would have been Radio 1 DJs! (5 years ago)

Wordie @ #22252: Beat me. Good grid (5 years ago)

Tomtit @ #20832: Very good. Che great distraction (5 years ago)

Jamie @ #22248: Could demonyms also be an accepted answer for the English group? Otherwise good grid (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22154: Cria is a young LLama. A puggle`s a baby Platy? NOT according to Google. (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22156: Were there any real red herrings? Can`t say I noticed any. (5 years ago)

Only Me @ #22246: I agree with Keir H, but that makes it a good grid. (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22194: Yup! As Rabbit,Mal & Mavis explained that one jus` don`t work! (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22206: What`s a class ring? (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22238: Not enough/any `red herrings` (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22244: Needs a few `Red Herrings`.Too easy to guess even tho` u dunno the group names. (5 years ago)

Keir H @ #22246: That red-herring Spice Girls group was devious... (5 years ago)

Keir H @ #22245: WHY DID I PUT MY NAME AS KEIR HCAT (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22245: Superb...beat me, but very enjoyable grid (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #10373: Dare i say, a wee bit Niche? (5 years ago)

Joe @ #10373: This is the worst grid I've ever seen. (5 years ago)

jollycorpse @ #22242: Sorry for the misspelling: ‘hate’ should be ‘hare’. Not particularly helpful after the fact, of course. (5 years ago)

Badivasi @ #10577: Easy grid, took less than a minute. But well made with all the red herrings. (5 years ago)

Badivasi @ #22237: Nice one! Got confused about what was needed as the reason for administrator, et al (5 years ago)

Badivasi @ #22238: Nice one! (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22234: Enjoyed this, it was hard. I liked the crossover clues. Thought the No.2 category was hard to guess though. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22235: Too complex for my simple brain. I only got 1/10. (5 years ago)

VJ @ #22235: Lovely, quite complex, but also easy due to severe restrictions placed by the setter on himself. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22236: Really enjoyable grid, only missed the Paddington connection. I got 7/10. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22237: Really hard for me, didn't really get many of these. I couldn't hit the right words to get the overseeing category. Only got 3/10. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22238: I got the groups ok, but not the connections. I put Royal Family for the Prince one which was given harshly incorrect I thought. A good grid though. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22239: Definitely a toughie on this one. I thought there would be a group of one-word film titles, but no. I only managed to get 1/10. (5 years ago)

VJ @ #22237: fun grid, not sure it deserves its difficulty level. (5 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #22239: 'Unknown' might have been better. A toughie (5 years ago)

Deserter85 @ #22218: Mambo No 5 was the only line I managed to solve. (5 years ago)

Mickle @ #22237: Nice one (5 years ago)

Wizard63 @ #583: Pause, play, etc. has quite a diverse title scheme missing; I called the grouping "transport controls," e.g. But other than that, a great wall. (5 years ago)

Deserter85 @ #22237: @NiceGuySi: I think it's cow. Nice wall btw. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22237: Which Zodiac animal is found in picowave? I can't spot it. Is it cow for ox, or ape for monkey? (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22237: Good wall, v enjoyable. Stumped by the zodiac! (5 years ago)

mal @ #21921: I put in bombs.. and it said ''no, TYPEs of bomb!'' Bit picky eh.. (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #583: Truly wonderful experience playing, I found it very inspiring for my own grids (5 years ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #22235: Police also put drunks in the Drunk Tank. Enjoyed this well done. (5 years ago)

Andrew @ #10577: Nice Grid made slightly challenging by all the greek letters (5 years ago)

Pogglefish @ #22235: Apologies, forgot to set the difficulty. This should have gone out as medium, not very easy. (5 years ago)

Andrew @ #583: Good wall. but wrongly said incorrect when I said the controls were present on a tape or cassette player. Surely I'm not *that* old! (5 years ago)

mal @ #22194: TIMEPIECES not clocks (5 years ago)

mal @ #22222: ''zuckberg''?? REALLY? (5 years ago)

jelo @ #22222: well. its nothing important but maybe add some more answers for non english speakers. because i found the groups but didnt get the connections because i said "marc" and "mat". luke and john i got (5 years ago)

Sara @ #22220: Like this one which I kind of solved. Didn't get the Muse line and typed 'unreal' in the link box ... which still scored me 10?? (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22233: Toughy this one, I would never have guessed the James Garner answer. Good categories with diversification and red herrings - good work. I got 6/10. (5 years ago)

Jamie @ #22226: I knew all the groups, just too many red herrings. Probably would have got there in ten minutes, so good grid! (5 years ago)

Jamie @ #22228: Not entirely sure I'd call Spice a food, but otherwise good grid. (5 years ago)

Keir H @ #22233: This had a lot of good red herrings...I got stuck on crane, goose and swan all being birds...Mother Goose, Mothership...and as for Top Gun characters, I couldn't pick up on Merlin. Well done. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #16392: Ouch. That was really hard. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22205: Doublecluesnotallowed, I know the same clue cannot be used twice. It was a mistake. If you had read the comments before posting you would've seen mine apologising for the mistake. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22230: That was tough. I've never heard of Ouran High School Host Club - seems a bit niche. The annoy synonyms seem a bit tenuous too - "josh" would be to have a joke with rather than annoy and "dog" means to persistently cause trouble, "harry" would be to hurry up and chase someone. Good grid though, thanks! (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #8415: Pretty simple and straightforward but good grid. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #21598: That was tough! I only got one right but got 3 connections. Never heard of the Johnny Cake or two of the songs. Good challenge. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #21347: Nice grid. Was sure the last group would have been mountains. Good crossover between categories, enjoyed it. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22227: Fairly straightforward, I liked it though - a good mix of categories and well thought out. Enjoyable. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #19170: Tough and a bit one-dimensional. Liked the overall theme though. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22218: Mambo #5. Obscure insane in the membrane. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #17130: Tough but enjoyable. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #16407: Tough, i got the countries but not the operas. Would have been better to have a bit more diversification on the categories. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #6772: Enjoyable, especially the islands' clue. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #583: Really enjoyable. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22209: Really enjoyed this one. Proper Bo! (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22223: Managed 7/10, think I need to brush up on my tarot knowledge! Thoroughly enjoyed the wall (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22225: Thought from the start there was a bands category, then doubted myself and ended up getting that one wrong! Doh! Didn't get the matches at all, but got 3 connections, so I'll see that as a minor win for myself! Really good wall, thoroughly enjoyed it!! (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22225: I apologise for spelling Kaizer wrong... (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22211: A bit one dimensional in terms of the four categories for me. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22213: Tough but crackable. Good crossovers. (5 years ago)

Sabin @ #2184: Fun grid! Perhaps add "candy bar" for the Snickers group (that's what they are commonly called in the US). Thanks! (5 years ago)

Keir H @ #22222: I meant Zuckerberg, had a bit of an oops there (5 years ago)

pykrete jungle @ #22207: Fun groups and a nice puzzle, but "linked to ancient Egypt" can be kind of a loose category. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21555: Your description lines were far too specific - the Chelsea FC link, the Unilever connection, the Masters thing. (5 years ago)

BillSusie @ #22203: The category str_, has some issues it could also it could also be s_, giving suck, sipe, sand and song, a sipe being a groove of a tire. (5 years ago)

Joanne @ #1635: A little bugged! (5 years ago)

Joanne @ #1635: A little bugged! (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #22204: I'm confused by the 'French' group; only one of those words is in French. I don't think the ABBA clue worked. When there are four single-letter answers, the stick out like a sore thumb. When you've primed people to think about Abba songs, it's just too easy. David Croft produced You Rang, M'Lord; Are You Being Served?; Dad's Army; and Hi-De-Hi. Honey Honey, Dancing Queen, Knowing Me Knowing You, and Waterloo are songs by Abba. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21564: Holmes was a poor clue, for the sole purpose of being a red herring. Not on! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22195: Hamsters are more often thought of as crepuscular. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22197: I'd agree that "s" is an unreasonable clue, especially given it's capitalised. (5 years ago)

Pete @ #22197: I'm not sure that "S" is a very helpful member that group. Cake, bread, cut, and coming would all have been better in my opinion. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22196: Good grid. Didn't get the awards group (5 years ago)

bubens @ #22195: Quite easy but I enjoyed it. (5 years ago)

CounterfeitLesbian @ #22186: Real brutal. I am wondering if there was a reason for the switched orders of 9-F and 8-O? I assumed it was somehow significant, but after seeing the answers it doesn't really appear to be. (5 years ago)

Johnly @ #22183: Thanks for the comments. I wasn't sure how to pitch the hitch-hiker group. The answers seem more obvious when you're setting than when you're solving! (5 years ago)

noodles @ #14986: Great wall! Baffled by the knots though! (5 years ago)

noodles @ #14986: Great wall! Baffled by the knots though! (5 years ago)

Ade @ #22191: I liked it too! (5 years ago)

Ade @ #22185: I enjoyed that one. Thanks (5 years ago)

percypig @ #22191: A brilliant grid, really fun and satisfying to play (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22195: Quite easy but I enjoyed it. (5 years ago)

John @ #22066: Your women's names group is also all shades of red, which is very confusing. You also really need to have "jam" as an accepted term, since that is the word to be appended to make the phrases. (5 years ago)

John @ #22036: Fun idea, but one or two key weaknesses. The color group is the one I have the most trouble with. If your connection is going to be that something can be added to the animals' names to form a common phrase, then it should be the same addition for all of them. It's especially confusing because a couple of them could be paired with multiple colors, and "pink" works for two of them, but not the other two (pink or black panther, pink or white elephant). I'm also not sure "yellow canary" is a phrase. (5 years ago)

John @ #22191: Perfect! Loved it. Need to add "fowl" and "poultry" as acceptable connection terms for that edible birds group. (5 years ago)

John @ #22192: Whole grid about video game characters is tiresome. Also, "large" is a subjective term. All of the characters in the "large" group are villains (at least in certain games), which seems the more objective connection to use there. (5 years ago)

John @ #22189: Not sure a "literature circle" is a thing...but maybe that's just a dialect difference between USA and Europe. (5 years ago)

swegrid @ #22191: got it with two whole seconds to spare! :D great grid, nice level of red herrings! (5 years ago)

Jack @ #22172: Isn't the cat called Jonesy rather than Jones, that is all they call the cat in Alien If I recall. Unless you are referencing a different cat? (5 years ago)

Jack @ #22167: I think this one mainly for football fans. (5 years ago)

Stuart @ #22120: Nice but I failed (5 years ago)

Stuart @ #22119: Done with 3 seconds to go (5 years ago)

Jack @ #22182: Cod is just called Cod, rather than codfish. so that grouping doesn't really work. might want something like cat instead. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22167: Liked it (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22172: Good mix. But I did have to Google Jones cat afterwards. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22171: Tricky grid. Wasn't sure who Devin Townsend was, thought (wrongly, of course) that he might be the old guy off Knightrider. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22059: Ashamed to say I solved it with 2:40 left on the clock. Fun grid. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22182: It's also a soul companion, Pip (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22183: The presidents was a good time waster. Marvin might've been a bit friendlier for the hitchhikers group. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22186: Clever idea. Too clever for me PG-0 (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22185: Good mix of red herrings. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22188: I know Président should have an accent over the e but since it's a red herring for the Rolex group I left it out. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22176: I thought the "kiss" group might have been that they were all nouns that could be verbs (incl. to wall something in). (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22178: "Maths" should have been OK? (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22182: Spelling for rhythm - unless you meant the obscure music bot. Not sure about declaring y not to be a vowel here. Linguistically - and according to some authorities - it is. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22176: Fantastic red herrings! From 10secs in I knew three of the groups were Tom Jones, Sean Connery and Wrestlers but kept picking the wrong combinations until the time ran out. Well done. (5 years ago)

Johnd @ #3454: said nations instead of countries (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22185: Good wall! Quite easy but had fun nonetheless! (5 years ago)

Pip @ #22182: Rhythm is a dancer (5 years ago)

Fuffa @ #22185: Could the Malt group also be types of bread? Irish could be a bit of a stretch, but was thinking Irish soda bread (5 years ago)

noodles @ #21196: Good wall, but watch your spelling :) (5 years ago)

Albert @ #8199: The repeated letters one felt a bit tenuous to me. Got the Japanese one right away :) (5 years ago)

noodles @ #21503: Enjoyable, but like the others I'm not sure that De Niro is Italian! (5 years ago)

james @ #19362: was fun (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22059: Great wall, light hearted and funny! (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22163: Great wall, good links (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #22184: I really enjoyed this one! (5 years ago)

peddars @ #2563: Movies/Films, since one is set in India ... Enjoyed it. (5 years ago)

Evilsprout @ #22183: A hard one - the presidents were very distracting, and I think "Deep" as a first name for "Deep Thought" was pretty tenuous. Some clever links though. (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #2563: Diamonds Big Society was a thing David Cameron talked about when he became UK Prime Minister supposedly people helping each other and volunteering rather than the state providing (5 years ago)

Tom Ridgwell @ #22172: Brilliant grid!!! (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22169: Good wall! Enjoyed the theme (5 years ago)

noodles @ #22169: Good wall! Enjoyed the theme (5 years ago)

dissapointing @ #22179: This was far from a "Very Easy" grid. and the Allowable answers bieng single words is terrible -- EGOT vs allowing "awards" is poor. (5 years ago)

AGB @ #22167: Fun quiz! Some good red herrings! (5 years ago)

Hugh Jars @ #22177: A Hunky Dory quiz for sure! Only really for aficionados though (5 years ago)

Philippa Hutchinson @ #6833: For some reason I can never see the answer to the last row. (5 years ago)

jdoe @ #22168: lovely (5 years ago)

Joe @ #15695: The spanish verbs one was silly. (5 years ago)

rabbit @ #10172: 28 seconds (5 years ago)

rabbit @ #22169: great wall cheers! (5 years ago)

rabbit @ #17689: it's spelled mnemonic, that's probably why (5 years ago)

birdbrain @ #22163: too easy, all various animals, really simple (5 years ago)

GCB @ #22167: very good quality and not as easy as it first seemed (5 years ago)

Alansioux @ #7397: Jimmy Greaves HAD a WC winners medal..then he sold it. (5 years ago)

AliceP @ #22135: A nice grid thank you! Some comments about the colours. Did not have that problem. (5 years ago)

Fordy @ #22156: Nice - but the incorrect spelling of Barack was an unnecessary red herring! (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #7380: Nice grid! Solved it with 9 seconds left (5 years ago)

DH @ #22138: Good grid. 'Quantifier' is the term for an 'amount word' (5 years ago)

long time @ #241: boston is 70's man, get with the program (5 years ago)

DH @ #22157: excellent fun (5 years ago)

Sabin @ #14868: Nice grid, lot's of fun. Just a couple points to correct. In baseball, the shortstop is the position between 2nd & 3rd base (as mentioned by Sir Kris). Also, baseball does not use the cricket term "bowl" to refer to the ball being put in play by the pitcher; we would say that the pitcher pitches (or pitched, or will pitch) the ball. Finally, it should be noted that bats have excellent vision during the day, but rely on echolocation at night; it would be wrong to say they are blind, despite it being commonly believed. (5 years ago)

Ceausescu @ #22167: Very easy, but overall good quality (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22138: Tidy grid - got me on a couple - good and unique couple of categories (5 years ago)

Brenda @ #22165: Only got two categories correct, but author was not descriptive enough. The anagrams were very crafty. (5 years ago)

Nogard @ #22156: Never seen The Rat Pack before, so that one was lost on me, but I got the others no problem. Enjoyed it! (5 years ago)

James Rogers @ #22162: I didnt like that primary colors are primary colors. What even is a color. (5 years ago)

Aetees @ #22154: @ wtf33, its a young duck billed platypus. Its a colloquial name rather than a scientific one but reasonably well known. Cria stumped me though, had look that up. (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #22164: Outstanding! (5 years ago)

Me @ #21974: Good grid. (5 years ago)

neilb4god @ #22157: Take heed, Craig David, marathon love-making sessions leave inadequate time for essential boiler maintenance. (5 years ago)

Me @ #13255: Should have been in the easy category. Why was cricket deliveries not accepted? (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18777: You don't frame an unarmed suspect - you frame an innocent suspect! And a dollar bill? Who does that? (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18779: You don't get to list confectionary in the singular, unless you accept "s"! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18780: "Synonyms" but (fen, etc) no allowance for what they refer to? Not so good. And x2? (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18784: Yeah... Beatles. (5 years ago)

Ade @ #22134: Too clever for me, but fun (5 years ago)

Plantonius @ #22156: Nice! That basketball category is tough, but I like grids comprised of all names. (5 years ago)

Plantonius @ #22152: Nightsticks are also called “batons,” and you can bat a person with a bat shaped club. (5 years ago)

Plantonius @ #22152: Yes they are. (5 years ago)

Plantonius @ #22153: Lasagna noodles? I think that’s pasta. (5 years ago)

Stonerose @ #22153: Lasagne isn't actually a pasta... (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #1379: Needed a few more seconds! Nice grid! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18787: Very nice. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18789: Asterix! Doh! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18795: Would like to have seen "papers" accepted. (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22157: Very Clever (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18797: Categories, terms accepted, self-referential... none are very good, sorry. (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22159: Not really any crossovers, but enjoyed it all the same (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #18808: I apologise to all concerned, My comment below was not meant for this grid at all......I actually liked this one. Dodgy Hand eye co-ordination and getting old....deadly combination. (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #18832: War line impossible (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18808: The only issue I'd have is with friend=china. Very specifically (and old school) English. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18832: The WWI line was just far too obscure. And the charities far too UK. (5 years ago)

B @ #18479: Also annoyed MOUNT ruled out. You never hear of them being called Mountain Everest, Mountain McKinley and so on (5 years ago)

B @ #22017: I went with colleges too, and Russell is mis-spelt. The first lot are sea areas for the shipping forecast, so that's also unhelpful (5 years ago)

B @ #22145: Obscure (5 years ago)

Tim @ #18823: I wanted 2 more seconds! (5 years ago)

wtf33 @ #22154: Puggle is a cross bred dog - not a young anything - just doesn't make sense (5 years ago)

wtf33 @ #22156: I said basketball mvp and got incorrect... bit harsh (5 years ago)

percypig @ #22159: Apologies for the Rocky Horror type all, I ran out of room and didnt notice (5 years ago)

Deano @ #22145: Bit tough for me. (5 years ago)

Deano @ #22156: Basketball was a tough category. I had no idea. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22156: As if it wasn't obscure enough for the rest of the world who don't care about basketball or the NBA, you can't say "excluding Lakers"! (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22149: Definitions definitely need some work....How the hell Lion is marked incorrectly is beyond me, and as Tim has mentioned below, the explanation for Latin line is non existent.....too clever by half (5 years ago)

birdbrain @ #22157: fab! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22149: The trains were hugely obscure, and I just can't make any sense of what your connection is in the "Parsley" line. That they all have latin names (as does everything)? Please elucidate. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22152: Thanks. Nightsticks and clubs are not bats... (5 years ago)

lynne dixon @ #22154: Cria???? (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22154: Got 6. My heat sank when I realized there were Friends characters involved. I had heard of Rachel and Joey but that was it (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22145: Enjoyed the grid but agree with Larry on Oversee. Missed the alternating vowels and consonants but the connection left me a little underwhelmed (5 years ago)

His @ #22151: S (5 years ago)

Banana @ #22151: Dis is goo (5 years ago)

Jeff @ #22151: Hfjfhfehddh (5 years ago)

Deano @ #22147: Isn't the point of the movie that Phil Connors can't die? (5 years ago)

Malcolm @ #22147: quite good, but sean bean isn't a type of bean (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22117: Nice one! Got stumped on the flags. (5 years ago)

Deano @ #22130: Liked "Donner" (5 years ago)

John @ #3594: ... Should avoid having trees and parts of a tree in the same grid. (5 years ago)

kittymcg @ #22117: Excellent! Thank you. (5 years ago)

John @ #8403: Only problem I see is that ballet and break dancing are broad dancing disciplines, whereas the cha cha, for example, is a specific dance step, so they aren't exactly parallel as they should be. (5 years ago)

kittymcg @ #22133: An alternative, valid connection for the Charm group is that they are still real words if you remove the first letter . (5 years ago)

John @ #22124: Red herrings need to be written in parallel. Brown Bread has the word bread in it already, so it doesn't work as a red herring for the bread group, and Apples is plural, unlike all the other fruits, so it doesn't work as a red herring there. Also, maybe this is a British v. American dialect thing, but I've never heard of "tortilla bread." It's just called a tortilla. (5 years ago)

Gavin @ #22134: Very good grid (5 years ago)

peddars @ #22134: 4/10, but I agree with Peekay and I learned something new. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #21772: LOL ... Bit harsh Big Man ... At least he/she tried, which is more than I have ever done. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #22123: Aarghhh ... 7/10 ... missed out on the blue connection ... Sooo obvious when you see the answer ... Good grid, enjoyed it. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #22136: Enjoyed it. Bit short on red herrings, only 1 as far as I could tell. Need a couple in the other groups too. (5 years ago)

LW @ #22133: I wrote Gospel Writers and did not get the point. Whyyyyyyyy? (5 years ago)

Michael @ #22145: That is a good point Larry! I considered using overlook. In the end I felt that it was more skewed in terms of how it was usually used. I felt that oversee was the word that I could reasonably see people using for either meaning. (5 years ago)

percypig @ #22123: Really liked this one, subtle and effective (5 years ago)

Larry. @ #22135: I looked up synonyms of each other and it says: one another, each one, mutually. I think you mean "shades of green". (5 years ago)

Larry. @ #22145: I enjoyed the contranyms but shouldn't it be "overlook". (5 years ago)

Larry. @ #22132: gg (5 years ago)

Lou @ #10577: Easy - completed in under a minute (5 years ago)

Arjan @ #2296: Great board. Foxed by the 'draw' row. (5 years ago)

Michael @ #22133: It’s a decent grid, but I feel like the connections are a little too obvious. The gospel writers for example, don’t have a red herring, it’s just four normal names in a grid that is otherwise without (real) names. (5 years ago)

Michael @ #22130: Fun puzzle! I liked a lot of the red herrings (5 years ago)

Michael @ #22138: Fun one, especially the curfew connection; I thought that was really original. I do feel like there is a danger of having the person just guess their way into the answer when there are numbers on the board (which I will admit I did). Great puzzle overall. (5 years ago)

Michael @ #22143: Hello, pretty solid puzzle! Gary Ross threw me for a loop, didn’t realize he had such a diverse filmography. Nice red herrings. (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #7348: I actually do spend a lot of time looking at spinach when I'm sad so I think this is a very clever and thought provoking grid (5 years ago)

Michael @ #22145: Hello everyone, hope you enjoy, let me know how I can improve the puzzle! (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #7315: phenomenal this is the best grid i have ever seen the wife loved it (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #19907: This is the best grid you've made Cryptician (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #20766: Ah, so the answer was q all along (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #21772: I mean...this might be the worst grid on here thats not mine (5 years ago)

VJ @ #22134: Tough grid, did not know there was an actual city named like the US president. (5 years ago)

Ragman @ #22135: Not synonyms in a million years.... (5 years ago)

percypig @ #22140: REAL GOOD (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22127: Clever, but imo too many clues for one particular line (no spoilers) made it very very hard to resolve in time (5 years ago)

VJ @ #22135: Did not know the last group and therefore did not even clock the red herring. (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22134: Enjoyed this...paltry 5/10 but very clever (5 years ago)

VJ @ #22138: Really good red herrings. (5 years ago)

Big Man @ #22133: Very vague, Po should be spelt Poe and required answers too specific (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22113: A bit tenuous in places... a dress is not the same as a robe, "alive" would be the proper use, do we all wash pots last?, and do arrest and stop really mean the same thing? And the caviare plural thing is a bit dodgy too! (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22088: peddars - Well done on solving it! I like the ones I solve just in time the best. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22138: Tough grid! I've seen a couple of those alphabetical ones now but never think to look for it. Now I've got another thing to distract me! (5 years ago)

peddars @ #22088: Good grid. Enjoyed it with 30 seconds to spare. (5 years ago)

Gaz @ #22121: They are homophones, not homonyms - but great grid (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22135: How is peach a synonym?! Totally different colour. (5 years ago)

Nz @ #22135: Colours are quite different from each other (5 years ago)

Sue @ #22006: Good (5 years ago)

Sue @ #22007: (5 years ago)

Sue @ #22125: Never heard of yellow tea (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22136: Got them all except the Game of Thrones ones. Never seen it (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22133: Nice grid. Only recognize Han from Star Wars (5 years ago)

Will @ #22005: Did this in under 15 seconds. Never played Fortnite, don't have a ps4 or a treasure chest in my room, never watched summers. Honestly it's just bad. You could easily differentiate each one just by looking at the format. (5 years ago)

Mullybobs @ #22133: I think "Gospel Writers" would have been a tighter connection that works. However, nice grid with a few red herrings. (5 years ago)

Evilsprout @ #22133: Nice neat grid (5 years ago)

peddars @ #22133: I like it. (5 years ago)

Mle @ #22113: Love these grids. The extra level of puzzle solving is really enjoyable. Thanks :) (5 years ago)

Pete @ #22125: I enjoyed this. I agree with J that yellow and white could be swapped, but that's the only issue I found; I don't think anything else would form a complete solution. (5 years ago)

J @ #22125: I disagree that there are too many red herrings. I think the puzzle is fine as is (although I maybe slightly agree with the prefix comment John made, but it's not that big a deal. The only thing I would definitely suggest is that the "i" for "ington" and the "e" in "er" should be lowercase) (5 years ago)

John @ #22007: Just a bit too much ambiguity, as most of the Clue(do) characters could also be sauces. (5 years ago)

John @ #2748: Too many categories that involve adding words/letters. Should be no more than one of those per wall, I think. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22121: Liked the fish! (5 years ago)

John @ #22125: When a category is supposed to work with something preceding every entry ("wash"), it needs to work EITHER as a prefix tacked onto the word (as in "Washington") OR as a separate word (as in "wash cloth") but not a combination of both. There is also an issue with too many red herrings here. White and Yellow are both cakes and teas, for example. (5 years ago)

jd @ #4165: good grid, but too many other ages and medals! also the victoria cross is hard for non-brits (5 years ago)

Tasha N @ #22129: Bebek begli (5 years ago)

jd @ #1396: too many false group members... e.g. queen and king also chess pieces, full also a type of moon. you have to do endless random guesses even after finding the connection. but a great wall (5 years ago)

jd @ #22125: too many red herrings. e.g., white tea, carrot also a root, yellow also a type of cake... try to make it so only four items actually fit in each group (5 years ago)

Evilsprout @ #22128: Dammit... you're right, sorry (5 years ago)

Ray @ #22128: Bell should be an acceptable answer (5 years ago)

Simon @ #22115: Shit (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22113: Autocorrect strikes again! Caviare should be Caviars to match with roes. I think caviar and roe are generally uncountable but caviars and roes could be used for talking about varieties. Caviar/caviare = roe, caviars/caviares = roes (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22101: Oops! Typo there! Should be eight. Thanks for commenting (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22120: Good grid but needs more flexibility in the acceptable connections. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22121: Nice (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #22126: Fun grid. Spotted the boardgames straight away. (5 years ago)

Christobal @ #22123: Good grid (5 years ago)

Giggsy (real) @ #22124: Brown bread group is inconsistent. The first word and all words mixed. (5 years ago)

Giggsy (real) @ #22117: Again, this Giggsy is not me (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22117: Nice try, but the colors were too much, Jellylegs. (5 years ago)

Christobal @ #22005: Very easy. Solved in 45 secs and I never heard of any of the terms apart from the planets (5 years ago)

Christobal @ #22101: Thought I was going to hate this grid but in the end I solved it! Octophobia, fear of number 9, though?!! (5 years ago)

Ade @ #22109: Good one. 10/10 for me (5 years ago)

Ade @ #22108: Who are these musical duos please? (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17253: Not enough variance with answers (one name pop stars?) but otherwise a good grid. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17261: 2 groups, and couldn't even guess the others. Good grid. (5 years ago)

Fordy @ #22113: I liked this grid! Caviars should be caviars?! No idea what you mean? Isn't the plural of caviar, caviar? (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #22117: I'm back from my holidays with ideas for grids :) (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22086: Tongue twister line was really dodgy. And what is a "jet set radio"? (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17271: Got the connections but not enough answer variance for the kindness line. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17271: Got the connections but not enough answer variance for the kindness line. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17272: Indie bands not accepted which is a better description. Good grid otherwise. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17280: Keep em public. As easy as they are, for adults the challenge comes from how quick you can do em. 8 seconds, by the way... Lol. (5 years ago)

H @ #22114: Kor-knee (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17307: Quite an easy one from you there Aetees. Liked it. (5 years ago)

JC-002 @ #22007: @Krista they are allowed, it accepted "occupations" for me (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17323: Good grid, good crossovers/red herrings, good answer variances. A perfect grid in fact. Nice one. (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22113: Nice idea, but didn't work for me i'm afraid....never gonna work out the definitions (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22114: Fun grid! Travolta films beat me. Got the homophones but they didn’t quite work. Marley and Bell Gym require a particular pronunciation. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17330: As others have stated, the Kilgrave group was not only brilliant but also had a great red herring/crossover. Didn't complete it but enjoyed trying. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22115: Not aimed at people who know Chinese. Quite a coincidence that you’re the first to comment. I think some people will get it without any knowledge of Chinese characters. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22094: Liked it but had no idea of the Dalmatians (5 years ago)

Nogard @ #22094: Benedict Cumberbatch, oh wow, you're absolutely correct! I originally had 'Fruity' but I thought that would make the connection too obvious, so I just took off the y. My mistake. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17355: One name pop stars not accepted. Poor answer variance, otherwise good grid. (5 years ago)

Deserter85 @ #22115: Might be challenging for people who don't know Chinese, but it was not challenging at all for those who do. It's a weird one that's hard to rate at the end, but I think that's because I'm not the target audience. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22115: These are some basic Chinese characters that I think you might have a good chance of guessing. If you want to try again I suggest doing the numbers first, followed by the nature words, the positions and the sky words. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17380: Grid grid, good answer variance. (5 years ago)

lol @ #22095: I agree. Doesn't play well. (5 years ago)

Aetees @ #22091: A good grid. I was certain there were James Bond actors in there, took too long to realise there weren't. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22094: Good first effort! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22093: Is not "Marquess" the term usually employed for those actually in the UK (as opposed to translating those from elsewhere)? And wouldn't "ranks" have been a fair connecting descriptor? (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17487: Judging by this section of the website I'm working through, these were all made in December! Lol. Nice, easy grid. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22104: I'm not sure that horse or boat really qualify. Don't they both have to be followed by "length"? (5 years ago)

Hank @ #22113: Not a fan (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17497: Good wall, poor answer variance. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17503: Wow, 20 seconds but I bet someone gets it quicker! Nice, easy grid. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22108: "Polenta" isn't really a grain per se, unless you are using the latin. (5 years ago)

squareeyes @ #22113: You make a valid point (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22113: Liked the concept. I figured it out a little late and ran out of time. I think caviars should have been caviars. (5 years ago)

Nz @ #22108: Cher maybe but the rest ??! (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22088: Thanks for the comments. Glad you are enjoying them. Since stumbling across this site I find myself thinking of grids all the time but they don’t exist till you type them in. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22109: Nice grid. Didn’t know the TV ones. (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22095: The last two are both a bit tenuous (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22104: Liked it! Got the groups but not all the connections. I’ve heard of all those films but didn’t get that one. Never heard of parsec or siriometer. Took ages to find the green group. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17611: You learn something new, right Scoobs? (5 years ago)

Malcom @ #22093: Wow, tough. I think the first word of banned book titles is almost impossible and is it wrong of me to wish that sets like ---ship should be consistent - ie all either a single word or all two words, rather than a mixture? (5 years ago)

peddars @ #22094: Thanks Nogard. For a first grid I thought it was quite good, albeit one of the connections was slightly (very) obscure. Enjoyed it. (5 years ago)

Gavin @ #22028: Very clever grid! (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22026: Thanks for the bacon! (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22072: Nice try piglet, but terrible. Oink oink, jelly trotters. (5 years ago)

Krista @ #21921: I always put a dash- and then what comes after. In this case `bomb/s`.That worked & generally does. (5 years ago)

Nogard @ #22094: This was the first grid I've made. I really enjoyed doing so and hope to make many more in the future. Any feedback is appreciated! (5 years ago)

Krista @ #21933: Whereas I got the Market one first! But surely those `Things that hold liquid` are specific to alchohol/pubs/bars?which is of course what I thought. (5 years ago)

Krista @ #21961: Of course `Scottish` is correct!!! (5 years ago)

E @ #22060: horny (5 years ago)

Kayan @ #6475: Ridiculous (5 years ago)

Bearcules @ #22074: Thought there was going to be a link between PC games - Doom, Quake, Worm(s)... very tough this. I mean who has heard of Grey Goo or Quine? (5 years ago)

andypandy @ #22085: Agree with junkman. Pretty rubbish and not interesting. (5 years ago)

jamesjames @ #22063: Thanks for the comments. I agree that some of the answers are fairly obscure (I only found out about Flint Corn when researching this). I wanted to get a good grid for possible red herrings without being too challenging. Not sure I quite got it but I am fairly happy with it. (5 years ago)

Joe @ #22088: SimonB - your recent grids are the best constructed I've played in ages. Thanks for your time! (5 years ago)

idel101 @ #22088: Not as loose as your comment andypandy ;) (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22071: OK. expecting people to writ bird was a bit too much. I should have awarded the point for the letters. I just wanted to reward the people who spotted it. It happened by chance and matched one of the other clues so Inthought I’d try it. Thanks for the feedback (5 years ago)

Chucky @ #22071: W.T.A.F Is that BIRD clue all about......wow (5 years ago)

Peekay @ #22071: Bird maybe the most ridiculous solution to a group ever.....too clever for your own good i'm afraid....spoilt an otherwise decent grid (5 years ago)

Gaffer @ #22081: good concept got the groups but couldn't make the clues fit. well done (5 years ago)

Big G @ #22074: Not a fan of Piglet (5 years ago)

JerseySue @ #17689: Loved this - really good quality and fun but it didn't accept mneumonic. Thanks freddybob! (5 years ago)

Ade @ #22075: Nice grid. Takes me back to the day! (5 years ago)

birdbrain @ #22081: convoluted. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #6513: What on earth are "minibeasts"? The term is "invertebrates". (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22071: "BIRD" was ridiculous. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22076: There are quite q lot of "ow"="au" words. That seemed a little contrived (tower, shower, bower, dowager, yowzer, howitzer, how, now, plow, row, pow, towel, power....) (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22080: Words either side of the lines of a clue seems a bit harsh. Plus a bit samey. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22088: Bar refers to the barrier or railing which separates the inner court from the public. Brief can mean a lawyer or the lawyer’s papers. Bench is the judge or magistrate is desk Stand is where the witness gives testimony. Which one was loose? (5 years ago)

x @ #22065: Not a unique solution.Roddick could swap with Murray or Castle, and tackle or fly half could swap with lineout or hooker - making it impossible to solve without a lucky guess. (5 years ago)

andypandy @ #22088: One of the court clues was very loose. (5 years ago)

? @ #22089: This was a good one (5 years ago)

Wordie @ #22080: Fun grid (5 years ago)

MJ @ #22085: Don't think a couple of occasional appearances (as themselves) makes Gore and Hawking count as Futurama characters. Nice grid otherwise (5 years ago)

Reubz @ #22081: Love it - just took too long to figure out each clue (especially as many were very UK-centric). Very clever grid. (5 years ago)

bandarqonline.pw @ #2059: Bets so you can acquire a blind by raising a choice will definitely improve your chips. Yet the draw back is the fact once the tables are complete now you're found waiting around to receive a location and sitting down in the on line casino or you'll not normally have the capability to come across a sport heading. Squeezing a tennis ball isn't only a terrific way to ease stress, in addition, it can build up the strength in your hands. https://bandarqonline.pw (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22087: Thanks for the comment. I’m trying to make some clues that nudge people into thinking in another direction. Not sure if I’ve managed it yet and I’m sure it’s not to everyone’s taste but I’m trying to give people the satisfaction of recognizing patterns and solving the puzzle (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22087: Not for me - others might enjoy. (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22081: Too random (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22078: made little or no sense to me (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22017: Should have allowed colleges. Sorry (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22063: budapest and leipzig schools are somewhat obscure, and frankfurter is much fairer than nurnberger (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22066: very unsatisfying groups, also jam should be accepted for the first one (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22070: midnight and bog rolls are somewhat unfair. high german not well known (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22071: letter should absolutely be accepted for the last one: rejecting it because you think your answer is more clever is completely unfair. leave should be accepted (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22078: dyes are very obscure, george clinton is very obscure, the japan towns are insanely obscure, and the last one could be fair if any of the others were (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22084: mostly fine grid with a few issues: i knew the last 3 categories were ALS sufferers and dictators, but that wasn't enough info to sort them (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22085: unfair clues (really? futurama heads don't count as characters) and a real lack of ins make this not particularly fun or fair (5 years ago)

junkmail @ #22086: I find the tongue twister clue fairly dubious. I've never struggled to say any of them. (5 years ago)

Britishnerd @ #21852: Fun (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22081: Thanks for the comments. I’ve tried another similar one but left out the pluses. They make identifying the line too easy but I think they could either help or hinder people in making the connection. Not sure if the new one is any easier, it’s really hard to get the level just right with this type. Would be nice to be able to allow a little extra time for finding the groups. (5 years ago)

Portal Kid @ #22083: Thank you so much piglet for your feedback. (5 years ago)

Omegaman @ #22005: Sorry - rubbish! Had no problem sorting out the groups especially as only the planets had capitals but the other 3 groups were pants. (5 years ago)

me @ #9728: unfortunately two answers are missing: London gates shops (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22081: really clever- love the style but fiendishly difficult! would you do another one of these for mere mortals please? I'd love to complete one like this :) (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22083: I think my computer is drunk. And it should be "a few", not "few". (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22083: The group you called "a bit tricky" in the solution was funnily enough the first thing I managed to decipher. It was tricky in the best possible way and very satisfying to solve. The puzzles that were general knowledge-based left me hanging my head in shame. I evidently need to read more! Thanks for the grid, and for teaching me few new things. (5 years ago)

Krista @ #21986: We-ell I guess fishing rods do have strings-kind of? I guessed right but it doesn`t quite fit does it?-it`s lines they really have! And who Glastonbury legends-well that`s a matter of opinion!! And `LIVE`? Does this person mean `LOVE` in front of ly and heart ect? (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22002: Down is blue? Does this guy mean dawn? The down in my duvet is not blue!! Nah! it doesn`t work as a mood. Down and blue might be synonyms but that`s as far as it goes. (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22006: 3 from children`s books! That`s too many with a similar theme. And Internal body parts are organs-needs flexibility for set names. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22081: For what it’s worth, I don’t think the pluses look bad at all and I don’t think it was a mistake to include them. Without them, those particular clues would have been even more cryptic, given that they function differently from all the others -- and I don’t think this grid needs yet another layer of complexity. Still, even with the pluses, this was really tough for me. That might have a lot to do with my not being from – and having insufficient general knowledge of – the UK (which would presumably have made certain connections more obvious). Is the answer to Genuine Affection correct, though? I mean, with a different synonym for “genuine”, sure… (5 years ago)

Krista @ #22007: Those surnames from occupations are also the names of the occupations themselves.They maybe old-fashioned trades but they still exsist and are recognised words.That should be allowed too ! (5 years ago)

YinYang @ #5633: Most clever quiz on here. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #5344: Very nice! So many possibilities (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22078: Thanks for the.comments. Still learning and rather screwed up my latest grid. Have to imagine how it will look on the grid before submitting. I had another version of this one with synonyms for madder but had to give up on that line. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22081: If someone can remove this I’d be happy to redo it. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22081: Oops. shouldn’t have put those pluses in. live and learn (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22078: Agreed, it's something I really enjoy in your grids -- or at least the ones I've played so far. Haven't commented on most of them yet, though (sorry!). Two of the groups were really easy, but the Ono and Madder groups had me completely stumped (wonderfully tricky selection of items in the former). It was really interesting to find out what the solutions were in both instances, and fun to learn new things. Thanks! Not my favourite of your grids so far, but enjoyable as always. (5 years ago)

j @ #21943: dr is doctor (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #17678: The only group that was 100% consistent is "over" etc. The anarchy group has three different variations of its connection, benine isn't a word and the "p" in psy needs to be removed. That's said, maybe it's a first attempt. And I did get 10/10 so I'm being nice! Lol. (5 years ago)

SimnB @ #22039: I think turn is like curve and bend. You’ll have to judge for yourself whether to award yourself the point. I think it’s very close but not quite a synonym. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #1708: really clever idea, shape about spellings (I understand that the spoonerisms were sound based which is fine) but overall very enjoyable thanks so much for creating, can we have more like this please! (5 years ago)

joe @ #22071: cheeky (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #22068: Weird. If it does then it's a program algorithm error. That is the answer I put in. It's a simple one-word answer, why would I not put it in? (5 years ago)

Particularly seeing as I got all the connections despite not really deserving the points (I got the last one by starting to right something beginningwith m, backspacing and then pressing enter just before deleting the m -- and that was the only actually correct one I gave! Scottish games for 1, footballers for 2 and physicists for 3. I really should've received nil points!). (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22042: Hi Tim, thanks for playing and leaving feedback. Not too sure what to make of your comment, though. Those terms are all culturally specific, including "loo" (which I doubt very many people in e.g. North America would use). Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you wrote, but it seems like you're faulting the grid for including words that are not used in your local vernacular. That strikes me as a somewhat odd thing to criticise. But maybe that's not what you meant, or maybe we just have very different approaches to these things. In any case, it's always interesting to see what people thought, so thanks again for commenting. I hope you had fun with the grid regardless. (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #22047: @Tim -- it's actually very famous. Back to the Future. It is obviously called the DeLorean but the category is descriptions of what they are, not what they are called ('telephone box' is obviously TARDIS). Nice grid, Portal Kid! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #6140: Abaddon is the term for both the place of destruction and the angel of the abyss, so acceptable. Salem the cat was a puppet not a cartoon, so acceptable. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22040: wordy tricks like the step group are a plus in my opinion! Do what you do, if people don't like your style, there are myriad grids and setters. Your grid wasn't technically faulty, just not to some people's taste. I found it witty. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22037: I shall never live it down! Thanks for sharing what the starting point for the grid was. Though fairly obvious in retrospect, I hadn't noticed it. Some (hopefully) constructive criticism: I think it would have made for a better grid if you had included more detailed explanations of each of the solutions -- particularly in the case of the orange leaders (not saying this to shift the blame for my earlier blunder; it simply would have been interesting to know). (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22055: I enjoyed it. A little more variety in the puzzles would have been welcome, as opposed to having all of the solutions directly related to people. Especially in a grid like this, where you start with items that are ostensibly all of the same type (names and surnames in this case), I personally enjoy it when at least one of the solutions take things in a less obvious direction. Overall, though, it's a decent grid. Thanks! (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22040: Jeez! My eyes are getting worse I can’t tell the - from the = without a good squint. Will add more explanation when it seems it would help. Thanks for the input. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22040: I don't think you needed to include the hyphen; it may in fact have detracted from the puzzle. Maybe it's a matter of taste, but I personally prefer when grids explain their solutions in a bit more detail. In this case it would have been nice to see a list of the four terms, as opposed to simply "All combine with line" -- like you did with the list of hidden mythical humanoids. (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #18029: Probably the best Only Connect grid I've seen, as a Bond fan. The connections were brilliant, not just the solutions but the varied way they could be answered. Only got 4 points but it had me wracking my brains. Excellent. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22034: The g group was clever but almost impossible to reverse engineer for the solver. I loved the word play, insightful. The other two relied on knowledge I don't have, but then so do many grids! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22041: It all depends on if you prefer a quiz or a puzzle. the fact that I spotted the group easily but had no idea who they were detracts in my opinion, but that is because I love a good puzzle and enjoy engaging lateral thinking over memory. I like that this site has a variety of styles. (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #22041: Tbh, you don't need 'intimate knowledge' of IASIP to know who the main five characters are. Also, they're all common first names, so you could easily guess the group without knowing the connection. Anyway, it made my day that was a group and that typing 'The Gang' got me the points. Got stuck on apple things and otherwise didn't do very well but the IASIP mention made this my favourite grid of the week, tbh! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #22042: "John" and "can" are quite culture-specific, as is W.C. "Loo" we can probably agree on. I've never heard the other 3 used in my part of the world. At all. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22039: Thanks for the comments (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22039: I don’t think “curve” and “bend” are really synonyms here. The other verbs describe multiple bends and curves as in the way a river behaves on flat land. I should have included “wind” in the acceptable answers. (5 years ago)

SimonB @ #22040: It was, indeed, A=line, as in the skirt. Should I have included the hyphen? I’m still rather new at this so I’m interested in the comments. I appreciate that Stephen was a bit cute but I enjoy playing and making these puzzles because they force me to make slightly tenuous connections. That said, I suppose it might have been fairer to have had all names for the Steps. Thanks for all your comments (5 years ago)

Paul @ #21924: Don't understand ppl complaining over words they find obscure. Unless the grid is littered with them the player knows by process of elimination which group the obscure word belongs. Afterwards they can Google it and enhance their general knowledge. You never know when knowledge of African card games will come in handy. (5 years ago)

MJ @ #22040: Poor. Didn't find things like Stephen and Steptoe amusing or clever (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22047: Nice! I got the wines immediately. The rest of the groups were far trickier, but not unfairly so ... except maybe the garden one, which I don't think I would ever have guessed. I didn't manage to identify the right connection for the group with the car and the telephone box, though I was sort of on the right track. I immediately thought of the TARDIS, but I thought "red sphere" referred to Red Dwarf (I'm not familiar with Mr. Peabody & Sherman), so I guessed "sci-fi". The real answer is very clever, though. I also liked the remaining group, though the inclusion of "earth" was maybe a bit of a stretch. I think it would have been better to have a different item with a clearer connection to the rest. I had fun with this. Thanks! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22037: :) (5 years ago)

lorna @ #9384: I really liked this- as far as I'm concerned, as long as little inaccuracies don't detract from the game play, they're fine by me, and thegame scores stood out a mile anyway! Cheered me up while I'm stuck at home feeling sick, that's the main thing! Thank you for taking the time to compile this. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #3188: not hard, I think. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22042: Thank you very much for the feedback! (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22037: Ok, I think I now see how the members of the orange group fit together. I shouldn't have been so hasty to comment. I still feel that two of the four groups/connections are overly abstruse, but I should have worded my comment better. My apologies once again. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22024: Does nemesis really fit? I can see how it could wriggle in as an "inevitable downfall" but more closely means "adversary", no? so a bit hard to group with the others? (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22025: bit too obscure for me! (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22039: Nice. I very quickly identified what turned out to be the right connections, but kept falling for your red herrings and managed to solve only one group before my time ran out. Damn you and your fiendish traps! After that it was plain sailing. Thanks for the fun grid! (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22041: Not a fan of connections that rely on intimate knowledge of one particular TV series, film, etc. (I mean, if it's Hamlet or Star Wars or something similarly well-known and/or influential, then it's arguably a different story). The rest was quite clever and pretty tough (I got 1/10, and that 1 was sheer luck!). The group with "pie" I should probably have been able to guess in retrospect. My favourite group/connection was the one with "silence" (which I didn't manage to solve). (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22028: wish you hadn't used the word seminal in connection with this group! ;) (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22032: A bit one dimensional (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22035: really nicely done (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22040: Nice. I especially liked the hidden mythical creatures. I did very poorly when tried to solve this, but pretty much every solution made me go "oh, of course!" in hindsight. I wasn't aware that "aline" was a word, but apparently it's an alternative form of "align". Learned something new there. "Stephen" made me chuckle (I usually don't like that kind of solution, but this one just struck me as funny, for some reason). Overall, it was fun. Thanks! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22036: I don't usually like grids that are all one thing but this worked. I like that the categories differed in style. Wasn't keen on canary- it fits but awkwardly, overall a good grid! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22037: I wasn't keen on the orange group- didn't seem to make obvious sense. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #22039: nicely twisty and weavy! (5 years ago)

Timbo @ #22039: I really hate this "synonyms" category. At least say what they're synonyms for. I entered "curve" and "bend" but was still incorrect. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22036: *was accepted. D'oh! (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22036: A nice grid, with a few flaws (see below). I got the marsupials immediately, and then had a lot of fun trying to group the remaining animals together. There were so many possible options! Carnivores? No. Domesticated animals? No. Animals used in English idioms? No. Animals found on specific continents? No. It was fun exploring all these possibilities in a grid with a clear unifying theme. The accepted answers were a let-down, though. Only one of the answers I typed in were accepted, although at least three of them were valid (and the fourth as well, I would argue). "Colour" was not accepted for the animals that can be grouped with different colours. I am guessing this is because you used only the American spelling of the word for your linking terms, instead of both. A really unfortunate oversight, especially for a website based on a British game show. Likewise, "year" was not accepted for the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, although it was definitely the right answer ("Year of the Horse", etc.). For the last group, I typed "martial arts", but sadly this was not accepted. To be fair, I wasn't thinking of Kung Fu Panda as the overall connection, but rather a more general connection with martial arts (crane style, monkey style, Kung Fu Panda and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), so I'm not sure if this is a fair criticism of your grid. I do like my solution better than yours, but that's neither here nor there! Anyway, despite these issues, I had fun. Thanks! (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22037: I can't tell if the connection linking one of the groups is racist or not, because I can't quite figure out the author's moon logic. The smartphone connection is ridiculously tenuous. The remaining two groups are reasonable, although I'd never heard of vanilla blonde. That could just be a lack of general knowledge on my part, however. The banana group felt rather cliched -- like the members of Queen or the Beckham children, I'm sure I've seen those in a hundred grids by now. Overall, really not a good grid. Sorry. (5 years ago)

Ian @ #22028: Very nice grid, thanks (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22033: Very easy and quick, but fun. Re: AJ's comment below: Strange -- I entered "Biology" as an answer and it was accepted. "Uprise" threw me for a loop. That sort of thing feels like a bit of a cheat to me, but that's probably just a matter of taste. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22029: Nice grid. I loved seeing "Brobdingnagian" as one of the clues. The posts and the nautical terms had me stumped; the other two groups I solved without too much trouble. Unfortunately, "game" is not recognised as an answer for one of the remaining groups. I suppose this is technically justified, since "Olympic Games" is never (to the best of my knowledge) used in the singular. Still, I feel that it would have been better if "game" were accepted as a solution in this case. That's a minor (and easily countered) criticism, though. Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Thanks! (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22025: Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it, though I guess I went overboard with the difficulty on this one. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22034: Wow, what an odd mix of groups. I found the grid itself quite easy to solve and two of the groups fairly easy (and satisfying) to link, but the explanations for the remaining two groups had me stumped, for wildly different reasons. One of the connections is trivial to identify if you know a particular film (which I haven't seen). This was the weakest point of the puzzle for me and left me feeling a bit cheated. The other connection I couldn't figure out is a couple of orders of magnitude more difficult than the remaining three, requiring very lateral thinking and extremely specialised knowledge. I didn't find it unfair -- just strangely at odds with the rest. And it taught me a few new words. Thanks! All in all, not a bad grid, albeit a bizarre mix of almost trivially easy and fiendishly difficult puzzles. (5 years ago)

piglet @ #22021: The groups themselves are nicely set up, but the linking terms/explanations could have been much better in two in instances. "Video game protagonists" (or something similar) should really have been an accepted answer for one of the groups -- because that its precisely what links them. Likewise, I feel that calling another one of the groups "synonyms for 'pleasant'" is a bit of a stretch. "Y" should have sufficed as an answer here, I think. Other than that, I thought it was a decent grid. (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #21991: Open was a bit broad as part of that group but nice otherwise (5 years ago)

parkieg @ #21970: Good stuff. Well done! (5 years ago)

bhjioe @ #12698: great grid (5 years ago)

bhjioe @ #152: Dime is now spelled Daim (5 years ago)

Me @ #21986: Not very good at all. (5 years ago)

Gary @ #21995: Excellent, really enjoyed (5 years ago)

chris @ #21991: Deceptive and interesting. Well done (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #8000: It would be more fun if the missing vowels were respaced, but I love the Welsh ones and thank you for not saying they don't have vowels because they do - W and Y being vowels (5 years ago)

knife @ #21986: Thank you Nz; Live was confusing the daylights out of me. Even allowing for the typo, this was weak overall, the String one being particularly tenuous (5 years ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #21979: D'oh got me. (5 years ago)

J-Dogg @ #21979: No obscure knowledge required, just a load of 'kick yourself for not getting them ones'. Excellent! (5 years ago)

AB @ #21986: Poor. eg a rod has a line on it, not a string (5 years ago)

J-Dogg @ #21980: The swords did for me - but a nice red herring! (5 years ago)

Yrieithydd @ #368: Because I know little about Tarot, I got all the other connections and then figured out what the last group was so the red herrings didn't confuse me at all. (5 years ago)

Nz @ #21986: I think you'll find it is Love, not Live in the answers (5 years ago)

Tim @ #14901: Tiger Feet and Tiger Tiger are extremely obscure to most of the world! ;) An obscure single for a group no-one's heard of for 45 years? (5 years ago)

bleck @ #21950: tom and jerry stand on two legs (5 years ago)

Giggsy (real) @ #21839: dfgbh no they are not (5 years ago)

Giggsy (real) @ #21839: hey, bitter, negative pretend Giggsy... ....f*ck off and live your own life you sad twat (5 years ago)

giggsy (real) @ #21837: This below comment is from some sad twat - who clearly couldn't do it - and not from me. How pathetic is he/she that they would not use their real name to add their negativity. (5 years ago)

Luck @ #8199: I solved the grid due to sheer luck except the Japanese terms. Couldn't guess the other connections. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21949: Curious to learn about the ampersand. I wouldn't have called it a letter - although others do - as it's more of a symbol or pictogram, standing for the whole of an idea, rather than a multi-use component of other words. Still, I learned something! :) (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21948: A little adolescent. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21967: I'm still not sure what you wanted me to type into the Tesla line as a category! And as for the marauders' map, I've no idea where that concept even comes from! (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #21974: Good grid! (5 years ago)

giggsy @ #21981: Note - I compiled this with my 11-year-old daughter who wanted to do a fruit/veg grid and she came up with the groups. I later noticed two clues that, at a stretch could be switched. If you spot them, sorry - and well done. (5 years ago)

meh @ #21982: I like grids when they require knowledge of different avenues of knowledge, not just games, or are solved multiple ways (anagrams, hidden words, characters in x, etc.) (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #21978: Nice full metal jacket reference. Good grid! (5 years ago)

CHARON @ #2718: Types of weather? more accurately, they are all forms of precipitation, as others have said. good, none the less. (5 years ago)

giggsy @ #21947: too tough for me (5 years ago)

Jesse @ #21978: Sorry to correct you Giggsy, but Breadfruit is a thing, large and spiky looking thing. (5 years ago)

giggsy @ #21943: Easy and fun - thanks (5 years ago)

CHARON @ #2747: Nice one, I somehow managed to miss the Beatles connection! Doh!!! (5 years ago)

giggsy @ #21971: Good grid (5 years ago)

Jim @ #21976: Good themes. I'd never seen any of these before. (5 years ago)

giggsy @ #21974: nice one (5 years ago)

giggsy @ #21978: Bread group is inconsistent - Bread is followed by the word - the others precede it (5 years ago)

me @ #21970: cultivars of cherries and producers of shows? really? (5 years ago)

me @ #21971: (5 years ago)

me @ #21972: very poor, far too obscure, just for the sake of it (5 years ago)

Sadie @ #583: (5 years ago)

Peter @ #33: Hi mate, yall tellin me bout slanguage. yo brain need to get the deets. them words devo never ain't no slangueage for the glitter. (5 years ago)

Yer @ #8199: got 0 points but the connections were so big brained it's funny good one (5 years ago)

Peter @ #19513: Amazing concept. The A category was quite hard to spot. But after that I quickly guessed C and D category. However I have to admit that I had no idea about the B category connection (5 years ago)

chris @ #21974: Intelligent and satisfying grid. Well done (5 years ago)

Yer @ #583: Nice introductory wall. Well designed with some red herrings thrown in. Not too difficult for a beginner. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1183: 16 names make a very sterile grid. You seem to specialise in them. Try something else. (5 years ago)

Mad Haggis @ #21494: Edinburgh is not in England (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1254: A totally wretched grid. Esoteric, spelling mistakes. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1353: 16 first names make a very sterile grid. I was looking forward to some German language groups. (5 years ago)

jayloe @ #21868: liked it but wouldn't take 'ranks army' (5 years ago)

JNS @ #21970: Well done!! Very fun grid. (5 years ago)

luke @ #12198: Very easy if you happen to be a Geography teacher. (5 years ago)

Luke @ #21924: Far too difficult for me, but it is in the correct section. 0/8 (5 years ago)

luke @ #21925: Nice. 6/8 (5 years ago)

Luke @ #21929: Never heard of mho. Not a common word, why didn't you put in something like pots instead ? (5 years ago)

luke @ #21934: People's names as countries simply didn't work. The rest were good however. (5 years ago)

Luke @ #21933: Very nice. Got most of them, but the market one baffled me. (5 years ago)

luke @ #21942: Should be in fiendish in my opinion. Very difficult. I thought card games and SI units, but couldn't make any connections. (5 years ago)

Luke @ #21941: So what chance would somebody have of solving this if they were not familiar with celebrity television shows ? (5 years ago)

luke @ #21943: Pretty easy but I liked it. Btw, it didn't accept either 'dr' or 'ny' as correct answers. I typed them because I am feeling lay. (5 years ago)

luke @ #21944: Sorry, way too difficult (5 years ago)

Luke @ #21946: Impossible. (5 years ago)

Hubby @ #21969: Regnal names should be acceptable. Otherwise good grid!! (5 years ago)

luke @ #21947: Very difficult but I did get a few (5 years ago)

Luke @ #21948: Very difficult. Didn't get a single connection even when they were sorted for me. (5 years ago)

Dave. P (mouse) @ #21936: White Smith and Tin Smith mean the same thing. (5 years ago)

Zamenhof @ #21959: I speak ten languages so it was quite easy. However, the validator should accept solutions in English (drinks, dairy products, etc.) (5 years ago)

Zamenhof @ #8199: The S in "surprise" is the same in my dialect. The Japanese one was too easy. The Mars was too difficult since we don't have "Celebrations" in my country. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1379: Good grid. (5 years ago)

Zamenhof @ #2297: The piano was very easy. The berries stumbled me which was enjoyable. (5 years ago)

JulietBravo @ #21915: Forgot the name for Homographs and called them "Hetrophones" Also made the mistake of calling them "articles" (5 years ago)

Zamenhof @ #10577: Too difficult with too many red herrings. (5 years ago)

Zamenhof @ #583: First one I ever tried. I was very nervous but I was able to get the full ten points. Loved everything about it. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1405: Good grid. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1422: Better than the last one of yours that I did but too many cities. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1424: Never heard of dog flower. Dog rose ? (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1436: Parts of names are always unsatisfactory. Star Jones is famous ? (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1447: Fair grid. Too many sports groups. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1450: very easy. Teapot was a poor choice for the group. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1456: Very easy. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1457: Good crossovers and manageable. Barry Nelson extremely obscure. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1465: You need to distinguish between a superordinate term and a compound noun. Rock is not a type of fish. Hand is not a type of gun. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1466: Very straightforward. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1487: Scarlet spelt incorrectly. Condiments rejected, yet came up as the answer !! Nice non-use of the Cluedo red herrings. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1489: Good crossovers. Achievable, even if you don't know tbe sobriquet "Red devil". (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1491: Very good grid with nationality themes. However Scotch terrier is wrong. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1491: Very good grid with nationality themes. However Scotch terrier is wrong. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1498: Good grid. Crossovers and acbievable. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1508: Fair grid but spellings in answers proved the law of dimishing returns - Switzerland, Hope, Crosby, Lamour. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1512: Nice grid. Keep them coming. (5 years ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1554: Nice grid. Good variety of lines and achievable. (5 years ago)

Kagey @ #583: Media controls - who ejects media? Great grid thanks. (5 years ago)

Kagey @ #21962: Great thanks. (5 years ago)

Kagey @ #21965: Thanks. Bit stumped on some. Maybe American knowledge would be handy. Enjoyed though. (5 years ago)

copaceticafternoon @ #21961: Also disappointed that Scottish was not correct (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20280: Thanks. But outside the UK we don't get those brands, supermarket or otherwise. (5 years ago)

Me22 @ #21961: I answered 'Scottish things' as the connection and didn't score a point the connection is 'All things to do with Scotland' (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20284: Needs some work on the description for the homophones. That specific word doesn't always come immediately to mind. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20287: Jurassic world's velociraptors is just getting a bit too niche, don't you think? Perhaps we should have the Queen's favourite corgis? (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20289: "Purple drank"? I have lived a cosetted life. And not in America. (5 years ago)

HS @ #21921: Bomb doesn't work. (5 years ago)

JNS @ #21956: Very hard but well done. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20318: Who/what the h*ll is IBM Watson? BTW, there are many countries who would ask WTF is Jeopardy! A new suitable line could be "what I had for breakfast yesterday". We'd all have just as much chance of getting that! ;) (5 years ago)

Beeeeeef @ #21956: No. Just no. (5 years ago)

B @ #184: Movie should be accepted in addition to film (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20326: A bit one dimensional. And macabre. (5 years ago)

Mossi @ #21953: 10/10 :) (5 years ago)

Mossi @ #21957: :) (5 years ago)

kotkawodka @ #21949: I actually had Bigger Than Us stuck in my head when I opened this wall, embarrassingly. Also agree wholeheartedly about O Jardim (5 years ago)

Glyn Parry Davies @ #18078: 23 seconds 10/10 EASY (5 years ago)

Glyn Parry Davies @ #18084: very easy 10/10 47 seconds (5 years ago)

chris @ #21943: well done, good grid (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #21949: That one was meant to be 'Firing a gun once a minute' (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18142: 7 red herrings for homophones is too many. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18159: no crossovers, solvable in seconds, not really interesting or fun, bit pointless. Do keep trying but play a few of other people's grids, see how the game works! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18165: only 4 proper nouns stood out a mile (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18170: very easy but listed under hard (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18177: glad I found another one of yours (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #21948: 2/10, but a really fun grid (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21945: rye as a lone word is a cereal, rye whiskey is a drink, which threw me for a bit (5 years ago)

edc @ #21934: i didnt get the clue for the names & now I see why. It doesnt make sense. The rest I really enjoyed! (5 years ago)

edc @ #21922: Very good; i didnt get over the hump though.. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20329: Just entirely obscure. The "Carrie" line? Obtuse. Who's ever heard of "small pond"? I do believe you need an apostrophe for "pimpin'". Even then it's a really long bow. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20332: Thanks. Almost impossible. I had the right idea, but I've not heard of a "house clearance". Maybe a cultural thing. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18194: insects are animals (5 years ago)

Random Name @ #5: I got 6/10 just by guessing random things (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20333: Thanks. "Falklands War" is way too specific. Not accepting "Springsteen" is just nuts. (5 years ago)

Bob @ #21943: Just right! Thanks (5 years ago)

Reubz @ #21936: Nice grid! Took a bit of guesswork to get 7! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20335: Thanks. Cornish pastry reference may be incorrect, but also highly obscure. Those could be the ingredients of the traditional Zimbabwean fighting roll. Would you know? (5 years ago)

ellie @ #21946: Didn't allow actors. Tough grid (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20344: The Gilbert and Sullivan was probably a step too far removed from the source. And "three kings" is, as has been pointed out, not in any way accurate. There may have been three, they may have been kings, but nothing says so at source. Whether that account belongs at the Nativity per se is yet another question. (5 years ago)

Stagkiller3000 @ #17280: sick grid (5 years ago)

A Common Pleb @ #21934: nikkiwabit -- and doctors wonder why some people don't like them and find them condescending...it's like some of you think us total plebs have never entered a hospital, have ears or understand words outside of our own purview... (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #21933: I feel a bit cheated the bottom one wasn't sheep but mostly because of the Worms reference (I appreciate it wouldn't fit though!). Well done on creating very specific categories with trigger words that work. ;) (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #21946: I really enjoyed this one, although I didn't get any of the sets and only two of the connections! (5 years ago)

peddars @ #15077: Good grid. Lots of crossovers. Found it hard myself. Had three of the categories in my head straight away but could I tie them down? (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21924: Gasconade means boasting and therefore works as a red herring. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #1110: good grid, by no means obscure, pretty common knowledge, just well interwoven. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #13053: I always thought Prince Albert's gift was something else entirely- but I love the sentiment! xxx (5 years ago)

lorna @ #1563: I agree with Peddars. (5 years ago)

Squiggle @ #21934: Countries homophones a bit weak- other categories fine, but that one just doesn't work. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #5633: BTW in terms of etymology, a bill was a stonemason's pick- probably hence a birds bill, a hedging bill or bill hook (bladed tool) so I'd hazard a guess this is a descriptive root of the word bill as a headland? (5 years ago)

lorna @ #5633: Got this in a few seconds (brag brag)- maybe it's because I went to Portland Bill today! Theme made it easy but a lot of fun :) (5 years ago)

knife @ #21942: Weak; Solo's first name is Han not Hans; makes it virtually unguessable (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21935: Nicely done (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21940: the hidden fruit in the fruit group is fruit????? (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21942: Solo doesn't fit (5 years ago)

peddars @ #5633: I had to look it up too ... from Wiki "Thomas Pennant described the location of Selsey-bill in his book A Journey between London and the Isle of Wight published in 1801 (note bill in minuscule, reflecting the resemblance of the headland to the shape of a bird's beak)" (5 years ago)

Card Games @ #21942: Card games (5 years ago)

peddars @ #21923: I used to live in SG1 ... Couldn't for the life of me think of an interesting fact about the area ... LOL. (5 years ago)

nikkiwabit @ #21936: Nice. One of those almost but in the end I was lousy :) (5 years ago)

nikkiwabit @ #21934: Maybe easier as I am a doctor and things I tended to know (5 years ago)

peddars @ #11942: 10/10. Enjoyed that. Hazarded a guess at pan since I have never heard of the other three ... LOL. (5 years ago)

PeterS @ #21924: Gasconade? Agram? (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20375: Thanks. A bit of a one trick pony though. And I'd never have called something "G-Rated", maybe "rated G", but hey... (5 years ago)

Tim @ #20372: Thanks. A bit one dimensional. PMs not Oxbridge educated, rather too obscure. (5 years ago)

Mario @ #21925: Enjoyable (5 years ago)

Mario @ #21933: Nice grid (5 years ago)

Mario @ #21934: Enjoyed it (5 years ago)

peddars @ #236: Nice. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #1563: Good grid. Don't understand some of the comments. I thought Ian was very clever. See absolutely nothing wrong with it actually. It's not a category it's a connection. (5 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #21933: Nice enough. A few too many familiar themes for me, but after 20000 grids that's going to happen. Prisoner or fantastic would have made the order.group a harder spot (5 years ago)

peddars @ #13053: Clever ... (5 years ago)

peddars @ #1110: Full house. Never heard of london wall but now I know. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #10608: There is no last line. The order that you solve them in determines the resultant order. Best to describe a group by referencing a word from it. :) (5 years ago)

peddars @ #5977: Enjoyed it. Noticed the spelling, but hey, its a bit of fun and we are not on the telly. (5 years ago)

RevEd @ #21924: Annoyingly hard but a lot of fun when you see the answers. Only got one group... Semifinal level for sure! Should be Blockade in the answers not Blockage but both blockade and blockage are good descriptions of how I did :-) (5 years ago)

lorna @ #2748: I really liked this because it demonstrated the principle of not going for the obvious link- with a lot of red herrings- first. Like finding the edges of a jigsaw. Seems to be a lot of unwarranted criticism here (Osprey ,Mapper, Susie, Avery) , but each to their own opinion. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #1498: Nice. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #9214: really lovely idea and a fun grid but agree with the homophone mix up and the river Exe is in Devon! It rises on Exmoor. Exeter and Exmouth named after it. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21924: I agree with foursquare. Joe- keep it constructive or go and punch a pillow- don't take out your frustrations on real people, just because a computer screen hides them (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21922: camel group was very clever (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21923: Really interesting facts, thanks (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21933: imaginitive red herrings- the posessive apostrophes made the groups easy to find. Fun thanks (5 years ago)

DLandonCole @ #21917: That would be because Khentkaus was not a pharaoh. (5 years ago)

Sabin @ #8880: The game is also called "Clue". Otherwise a great grid! (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #13724: Beautifully done! (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #13879: Wow. Just wow. (The algorithm is too forgiving — I didn't have one of the connections and it thought I did!) (5 years ago)

BawkMcGawk @ #21916: Two Gerry Anderson links and two television dogs links? How limited is your knowledge?? This was poor. (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21701: Wow, that was hard! Didn't get a thing, but I don't think through any fault of the writer. Saw one of the categories, but didn't put it together in time. Well done. (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #8441: Nice one! "English" made me smile. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #21924: Can't find any of your grids Joe...? (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21930: Apologies accepted. Very clever! (5 years ago)

Kagey @ #21932: Great thanks. (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21928: Unfortunately the "Liob" mars it (but I see you've corrected that)! (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21927: I thought the "bitter" group would be "things you swallow," and the "bag" group was a bit weak (is it "followed by 'bag'" or not?) (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21925: Excellent! Devilish little categories. (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21924: I didn't think this was all that badly written, just very, very difficult. I thought "Aria" was a bit of a stretch, but really appreciated "Homem," as it gets you going on a Latin red herring. Too many words-based groups for my taste, but not bad. (5 years ago)

foursquare @ #21923: I didn't fare too well, but very much enjoyed the US states one! (5 years ago)

Kagey @ #21927: Thanks. (5 years ago)

Kagey @ #21933: Enjoyed thanks. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21927: the bitter group was weak which is unlike you- I like your grids. The other groups were great as usual (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21929: reciprocal of ohm. I looked it up (5 years ago)

Me @ #21921: Why is bomb unacceptable? (5 years ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21927: Tea..bitter???? Still a good grid thougb (5 years ago)

Squiggle @ #21929: Am I missing something here? Mho??? (5 years ago)

MOG20 @ #21206: I personally thought this was a very good grid!!!!👏 I got the fruit and colour connection I don't know what some people are talking about! Anyway quite easy, though a good grid!! ;-) (5 years ago)

MOG20 @ #21696: The Manchester football players were hard. But the rest was quite easy!👍 Highly recommended! Maybe the football players were hard because I have no clue about anything related to football. Still good though!!!!👏 (5 years ago)

luke @ #13879: Having at least seven members of the 27 club made it pretty difficult. (5 years ago)

Harper @ #21928: Maker here, sorry for the wrong spelling for Lion! I submitted another puzzle with correction (5 years ago)

Hitchbox @ #9214: They're homonyms, not synonyms. Just saying'. It's a bit disappointing to miss out on points because of this clanger. Otherwise it was a good grid. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21261: Lions and non-lions is a bit samey-samey for a four line puzzle. (5 years ago)

Aetees @ #21920: Well constructed but far too obscure for me. (5 years ago)

NiceGuySi @ #21921: Didn't get the West Ham reference but enjoyed the grid (should've accepted bomb when that was the actual answer!) (5 years ago)

peddars @ #15242: Enjoyable ... Went down a total back alley with:- green back, back alley, back fat, back ???? (5 years ago)

peddars @ #1818: Some nice crossovers I thought ... Enjoyable. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #1942: Phew ... Right on the bell ... nice one. Enjoyed it but was panicking there. (5 years ago)

DaneGeld @ #16967: Incredibly easy. 1 star both for quality and difficulty, a serious case of "must try harder". (5 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #21921: Hammers stood out like a sore thumb for me. Sometimes you can't please anyone. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18220: most fun grid I've done for a while! Lovely mix of areas of knowledge, cryptics and good construction (5 years ago)

crudbucket @ #21920: wtf (5 years ago)

crudbucket @ #21921: I put bomb and footballers, and both were incorrect. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18239: agree with lindybeige. especially if different letter each time. (5 years ago)

DH @ #21922: Good one (5 years ago)

Jay @ #21918: Brutal. Pretty good in general, but I find "Miss Baseball" a little bit of a stretch. (5 years ago)

Jay @ #21921: Same "bomb" complaint! (5 years ago)

pykrete jungle @ #21914: Very nice red herring with thorn (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21680: Thanks. The shoulder group was an obscure step too far. If you require 2 or 3 words (and in all directions) to make the link, then it really doesn't work! :) And it amounted to 3 lines with a "connect the words with a missing word" vibe, which is a little samey. (5 years ago)

Jay @ #8199: Brilliant! (Didn't get a thing, but brilliant!) (5 years ago)

Jay @ #21915: Fantastic. Devilishly hard, but fantastic. Was disappointed that it didn't take "articles" for the "the"s, though! I was pretty proud of having had that one. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21683: Thanks. A bit straightforward, except it's spelled "piccolo", and "uncommon instrument" is rather too weak as a subject group. The other 3 lines were simply "followed by" types. Not quite enough variety to be acing it. (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #21813: Pretty good. Good to meet another Lovesick fan. Although I think I'm in the minority of people who liked 'Scrotal Recall' better ;P (5 years ago)

MJ @ #21921: I know score doesn't matter but seriously how can you not accept "bomb" ?! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21843: Thanks. I do wonder a bit about those two lines that have completion words at either end - e.g. "fire truck" (very US!) and "under fire". (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21921: Less than national football players is starting to get a bit niche! (5 years ago)

Browny5000 @ #18250: Got all the connections but, by heck, so many crossovers and only got one line. Brilliant grid. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21917: wow! what a lot of knowledge went into this. Not massively playable for a non- genius, but definitely informative (5 years ago)

Larry. @ #21921: I's like to add that in my book West Ham midfielders is a perfectly reasonable group, unlike eg. Game Of Thrones bastards. (5 years ago)

Larry. @ #21921: GG. Some of mine and ms. Larry's favourite things in there. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21875: You need to go with "the weather" to make that line work. Perhaps include "fragrances" in your solution to the "Impulse" line. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21879: Thanks. I've never come across "pickle" by itself as a colour. And don't recall "press" as being a domestic furniture feature I've ever encountered. That may be a cultural thing. Keep on! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21881: Thanks, but just about impossible from the beginning. I don't much like "single issue" grids. One line plus red herrings of geography, then some other stuff, please. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21888: I would have thought "computer languages" would have been OK... Kept me from a full house! (5 years ago)

Aetees @ #21919: It is knife in the US Version and I thought that fit a little more neatly as a crossover. If the US version has wrench instead of spanner that is my mistake, it ought to be consistent. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21893: Well done, but difficult. I do get a bit sick of puzzles where I need to have seen a certain series of films, or be familiar with a superhero/villian world, or some variety of comics. It becomes a generational and cultural puzzle, rather than genuinely engaging one. Keep going! (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21913: Kudos. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21745: although she did open her throat and swallow a goat, I don't think the link can easily be inferred from the group, it's a bit silly. Holy rusted metal is a quote from one of the crap Batman films (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21916: Sorry, not so good. Apart from the fact that it's spelled "Roobarb", two Gerry Anderson and two TV dog options is far too limited. We're not looking at red herrings, just guesses as to which ones you choose to throw together! :) (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18241: Don't worry BinDipper- witty, informative and fun, as we've come to expect from you. Had a friend at college affectionately called Binty- (short for Northern Bint) so not so archaic (although college was about 20 yrs ago- god, time flies!) (5 years ago)

squareeyes @ #21919: Nah, it's a spanner, but I think it's dagger not knife... good grid however (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18242: very good, quite easy but fun (5 years ago)

lorna @ #18243: I didn't like the r. hand touch type group either. No way you could infer that by looking at the grid, or even the resolved group. (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #21919: It might be different if it were referring to 'Clue' the NA edition ;) (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #21919: Yes, spanner is correct. (5 years ago)

name @ #21919: Spanner is correct. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21916: I'll defend that decision- it's the source of the red herrings so necessary to the grid (5 years ago)

Timbo @ #21919: Arguably the weapon in Cluedo should be "Wrench" not "Spanner" (5 years ago)

Morten W @ #18251: The "alter ego" clue didn't accept "double identities". (5 years ago)

Aetees @ #21914: Tough but very good and quite inventive. (5 years ago)

NervousNick @ #21916: Two canine categories is a no. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21745: Yeah, I have to say I've never heard the expression "holy rusted metal", nor the mention of a goat in the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly. (5 years ago)

peddars @ #21914: Enjoyed it ... completed the wall, but have to say that one of the connections was very very obscure. Would have thought that only a very teeny tiny percentage of the population would know it or even hazard a guess. (5 years ago)

Tim @ #21911: Solved, but quite tricky to get the connections for those us of unfamiliar with US football. And I'm not sure I've come across "punt" used in that context hereabouts. Thanks. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21913: Genius. Lots of good points- great new knowledge rather than something obscure that I wouldn't want to know, clever crossovers and an original take on the usual homophones, which threw me! More like this would be most welcome :) (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21867: there is a well known character called fungus the bogeyman by British author Raymond Briggs of Snowman fame. There was a film made. I was assuming it was this Fungus; by no means obscure. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21911: Its very good but I would say that American Presidents and male animals get used a lot! Harder or more interesting grids have links that are in plain view but harder to spot for being an original idea. That in my opinion would take you from being very good to exceptional! (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21914: one of the best grids I've seen for ages! Quite hard but nicely twisty and very informative (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #21877: What issues are there? Apart from general knowledge being a bit spotty (and not being super convinced it was to do with cards), but that's not really the grid setter's fault... (5 years ago)

me @ #21888: Not too bad, but - the word endings (logy,metry etc) are generally descriptive not just for geo. That's not a great answer. Programming languages is a better description than coding. (5 years ago)

Vicky @ #21910: I put 'anagram of teams' and 'synonyms' for group two and three. I appreciate why synonyms might not be deemed good enough but the former should have worked... (5 years ago)

Giggsy @ #21861: At first I was wondering what Blake's 7 was, but then I remember it was a British science fiction television series produced by the BBC. Four 13-episode series were broadcast on BBC1 between 1978 and 1981. It was created by Terry Nation, who also created the Daleks for the television series Doctor Who. The script editor was Chris Boucher. The main character, at least initially, was Roj Blake, played by Gareth Thomas. The series was inspired by various fictional media, including Robin Hood, Star Trek, Passage to Marseille, The Dirty Dozen, Brave New World and classic Western stories, as well as real-world political conflicts in South America and Israel. Blake's 7 was popular from its first broadcast, watched by approximately 10 million in the UK and shown in 25 other countries. Although many tropes of space opera are present, such as spaceships, robots, galactic empires and aliens, its budget was inadequate for its interstellar theme. Critical responses have been varied; some reviewers praised the series for its dystopian themes, strong characterisation, ambiguous morality and pessimistic tone, as well as displaying an "enormous sense of fun", but others have criticised its production values, dialogue and perceived lack of originality, with broadcaster and critic Clive James describing it as "classically awful". A limited range of Blake's 7 merchandise was issued, and books, magazines and annuals published. The BBC released music and sound effects from the series, and several companies made Blake's 7 toys and models. Four video compilations were released between 1985 and 1990, and the entire series was released in videocassette format starting 1991 and re-released during 1997, and as four DVD boxed sets between 2003 and 2006. The BBC produced two audio dramas during 1998 and 1999 that feature original cast members and broadcast by Radio 4. Although proposals for live-action and animated remakes have not been realised, Blake's 7 has been revived with two series of audio dramas, a comedic short film, and a series of fan-made audio plays. Four series of thirteen 50-minute episodes were made, and first broadcast in the United Kingdom between January 1978 and December 1981 by BBC1.[1] They are set in the third century of the second calendar (this is mentioned in associated publicity material, not in the series)[2] and at least 700 years in the future.[3] Blake's 7's narrative concerns the exploits of political dissident Roj Blake, who commands a small group of rebels against the forces of the totalitarian Terran Federation that rules the Earth and many colonised planets. The Federation uses mass surveillance, brainwashing and drug pacification to control its citizens. Blake was arrested, tried on false charges, and deported to a remote penal colony. En route, he and fellow prisoners Jenna Stannis and Kerr Avon gain control of a technologically advanced alien spacecraft, which its central computer Zen informs is named Liberator. Liberator's speed and weaponry are superior to Federation craft, and it also has a teleportation system that enables transport to the surface of planets. Blake and his crew begin a campaign to damage the Federation, but are pursued by Space Commander Travis—a Federation soldier—and Servalan, the Supreme Commander and later Federation President.[4] The composition of the titular "seven" changes throughout the series. The initial group—Blake, Vila, Gan, Jenna, Avon and Cally—included Zen as the seventh member. At the end of the first series, they capture a supercomputer named Orac. Gan is killed during the second series, after which Blake and Jenna disappear and are replaced by new characters Dayna and Tarrant. At the start of the fourth series, Cally dies and is replaced by Soolin. After the destruction of Liberator, the computer Zen is replaced by a new computer, Slave, onboard their new commandeered ship Scorpio. While Blake is an idealistic freedom fighter, his associates are petty crooks, smugglers and killers. Avon is a technological genius who, while apparently motivated by self-preservation and wealth, consistently acts to help others. When Blake is separated from his crew, Avon becomes commander. At first, Avon believes the Federation has been destroyed; he becomes tired of killing, and seeks rest. However, by the middle of the third series, Avon realises that the Federation is expanding again, faster than originally realised, and he resumes the fight. The BBC had planned to conclude Blake's 7 at the end of its third series, but a further series was commissioned unexpectedly.[5] Some changes to the programme's format were necessary, such as the introduction of a new spacecraft, Scorpio, and new characters, Soolin and Slave.[6] Blake's 7 was watched by approximately 10 million people in the UK and was broadcast in 25 other countries.[7] Characters Blake's 7 cast at the presentation of the first series DVD, 2004. Regular characters Roj Blake, played by Gareth Thomas (leader of the Liberator crew for series 1–2). Blake is a long-term political dissident who uses the Liberator to wage war on the Federation. He is passionately opposed to the Federation's injustice and corruption, and prepared to accept loss of life in pursuit of its destruction. He thinks nothing of placing himself in danger to protect his crew or advance his cause. Although respected by many of his crew members, Avon accuses him of fanaticism and recklessness.[8] Kerr Avon, played by Paul Darrow (series 1–4). Avon is an electronics and computer expert who once attempted to steal 5 million credits from the Federation banking system. He distrusts emotion, and he attempts to pursue a code based on logic and reason. This frequently causes him conflict with Blake. He becomes a reluctant rebel, agreeing to participate only on the basis that he will control Liberator once the Federation is destroyed. At times, he seems motivated by financial gain and shows his readiness to put companions in danger in order to protect himself. He has an ambiguous and sometimes playful relationship with Servalan.[8] Avon appears in 51 of the series' 52 episodes, being absent only in the first episode, "The Way Back". Vila Restal, played by Michael Keating (series 1–4). Vila is a skilled thief, lock-picker and conjurer and is usually reluctant to risk his life. His behaviour is often cowardly, and although other crew members regard him as tiresome, he has a high IQ. He has weaknesses for alcohol and women, and apparently talks to himself at times.[8] Vila is the only character to appear in every episode of the series. Jenna Stannis, played by Sally Knyvette (series 1–2). Jenna is a glamorous space smuggler and skilled pilot who becomes adept at piloting Liberator. She has a great deal of affection for Blake, and is loyal to him once he gains her trust.[9] In earlier episodes, Jenna often maintains her opinions stubbornly. Cally, played by Jan Chappell (series 1–3). Cally is an alien guerrilla fighter from the planet Auron. She is a telepath, like all of her people, who can transmit thoughts silently to others. She later develops mind-reading, telekinesis and precognition abilities, but is also uniquely vulnerable to telepathic control by alien forces.[9] Cally develops as the moral conscience of the group, especially for later episodes of series 2 and throughout series 3. Dayna Mellanby, played by Josette Simon (series 3–4). The daughter of former dissident Hal Mellanby, Dayna is an expert in weapons technology. She is adept at designing mechanized weapons, but also appreciates the nobility of what she describes as more 'primitive' combat. Brave and loyal, but at times reckless and naïve, she often successfully challenges men who are supposedly accomplished fighters.[9] Her vendetta against Servalan (who murdered her father) motivates her to endorse Avon's fighting of the Federation. Del Tarrant, played by Steven Pacey (series 3–4). Tarrant is an expert pilot who trained with the Federation before beginning illegal activities. He is ruthless and charming, and often challenges Avon's leadership. He also takes advantage of the cowardice of Vila, whom he bullies into performing his instructions.[9] Olag Gan, played by David Jackson (series 1–2). Having killed the Federation guard who murdered his girlfriend, Gan has been implanted with an electronic "limiter" device which prevents him from ever killing again. However, he is courageous, strong and dedicated to Blake's cause. Soolin, played by Glynis Barber (series 4). Soolin is an expert gunfighter, distinctive for her apparent lack of fear or self-doubt, perhaps developed in response to the fact that her parents were murdered when she was a child. She joins the group after she is betrayed by Dorian, her partner. No-one can match her speed at drawing a gun. Soolin's logical and cynical attitude proves an asset to her colleagues. On several occasions, her quick thinking and poignant actions save the crew from perishing, overpowering the Cancer Assassin and surviving the Betafarl Conspiracy. Barber had also previously played the role of a Mutoid in Series 1 (Episode 9: Project Avalon). Orac, voiced by Derek Farr (first appearance) and Peter Tuddenham (series 2–4). Orac is a portable super-computer capable of reading any other computer's data and built by an inventor named Ensor. It uses a component called a Tariel cell — a universal computer component — and can access information stored on any computer that uses one. It can also control other computers. Orac dislikes work that it considers unnecessary, enjoys gathering information and has delusions of grandeur.[9] Zen, voiced by Peter Tuddenham (series 1–3). The main computer aboard Liberator, Zen controls the craft's secondary systems, including the battle and guidance computers. It is susceptible to interference from outside influences, such as Orac. It is considered a character in its own right. It is rendered nonfunctional after Liberator is damaged by fluid particles, and is destroyed with the ship.[9] Slave, voiced by Peter Tuddenham (series 4). Introduced during the fourth series, Slave was built and programmed by Dorian and is the master computer of Dorian's ship, Scorpio. It has a cringing personality, frequently apologetic and obsequious, and addresses Avon as "master" and others as "sir" or "madam".[9] Other recurring characters Supreme Commander Servalan/Commissioner Sleer, played by Jacqueline Pearce. Servalan began her service career as a cadet, and eventually became Supreme Commander of the Terran Federation. Her desire for power began at the age of eighteen when her lover abandoned her. Shortly before the Intergalactic War, Servalan conducted a military coup and installed herself as President. During her isolation on Terminal she is replaced but adopts a pseudonym, Commissioner Sleer, by which she conducts a campaign of drug-induced pacification in order to regain territory for the Federation. Servalan is determined to pursue the crew of the Liberator and win control of the ship for herself.[9] Space Commander Travis, played by Stephen Greif in the first series and Brian Croucher in the second series. Travis is a dedicated and ruthless Federation officer, with the rank of Space Commander. His left eye and arm were destroyed by Blake, and replaced with an eye patch and a prosthetic arm fitted with a concealed weapon. Travis is known for treating his troops well and leading them personally, but also for his ruthlessness and contempt for human life. After his trial and conviction for killing civilians, Travis becomes increasingly obsessed with killing Blake.[9] Sources and themes Series creator Terry Nation pitched Blake's 7 to the BBC as "The Dirty Dozen in space", a reference to the 1967 Robert Aldrich movie in which a disparate group of convicts are sent on a suicide mission during World War II.[10] This influence shows in that some of Blake's devotees are escaped convicts (Avon, Vila, Gan and Jenna). Blake's 7 also draws much of its inspiration from the legend of Robin Hood.[11] Blake's devotees are not a band of "Merry Men". His diverse crew includes a corrupt computer genius (Avon), a smuggler (Jenna), a thief (Vila), a murderer (Gan), a telepathic guerrilla soldier (Cally), a computer with a mind of its own (Zen) and another wayward computer (Orac). Later additions were: a naive weapons expert (Dayna), a mercenary (Tarrant), a gunslinger (Soolin) and an obsequious computer (Slave). While Blake intends to use Liberator to strike against the Federation, the others are often reluctant soldiers—especially Avon. Blake and Avon's clashes over the command represent a conflict between idealism and cynicism, emotion and rationality, and dreams and practicality.[12] Similar conflicts occur between other characters; the courage of Blake and Avon compared with Vila's cowardice, or Avon and Jenna's scepticism of Blake's ideals compared with Gan's unswerving loyalty, Blake's mass murdering methods compared with Avon's targeted and less destructive methods.[12] Script editor Chris Boucher, whose influence on the series increased as it progressed,[13] was inspired by Latin American revolutionaries, especially Emiliano Zapata, in exploring Blake and his devotees' motives and the consequences of their actions.[14] This is most evident in the episode Star One, in which Blake must confront the reality that in achieving his goal of overthrowing the Federation, he will cause chaos and death for many innocent citizens.[13] When Avon gains control of Liberator, after Blake's disappearance after the events of Star One, he uses it initially to pursue his own agenda, such as avenging his lost love Anna Grant. Later, Avon realises that he cannot escape the Federation's reach and that he must, like Blake, resist them. In this respect, by the end of the fourth series Avon has replaced Blake.[15] Classic films, such as the Western The Magnificent Seven, were an important influence upon Blake's 7. Chris Boucher incorporated lines from Westerns into the scripts, much to the delight of Paul Darrow, an enthusiast of the genre.[16] The final episode, Blake, was heavily inspired by The Wild Bunch and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.[17] Blake's 7 also drew inspiration from the classic British dystopian novels Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and When the Sleeper Wakes by H. G. Wells.[13] This is most evident in the nature of the Federation, whose methods of dealing with Blake in the first episode, The Way Back, including brainwashing and show trials. These are reminiscent of the way in which the USSR dealt with its dissidents.[18] Explorations of totalitarianism in the series are not confined to the Federation — totalitarian control through religion (Cygnus Alpha), genetics (The Web) and technology (Redemption) are also portrayed.[18][19] Such authoritarian dystopias are common in Terry Nation's work, such his Doctor Who story, Genesis of the Daleks.[12] Loyalty and trust are important themes of the series.[13] Avon is presented with several opportunities to abandon Blake. Many of Blake's schemes require co-operation and expertise from others. Characters are often betrayed by family and friends, especially Avon, whose former lover Anna Grant is eventually revealed to be a Federation agent. The theme of loyalty and trust reaches its maximum during Blake and Avon's final encounter in the last episode (Blake); Blake, by now very paranoid, has been masquerading as a bounty hunter collaborating with the Federation as a front for his activities in recruiting and testing potential allies in the struggle, and this causes Avon and the others to mistrust him when Tarrant accuses Blake of betraying them; an ironic miscommunication between Avon and Blake precipitates the disastrous events that conclude the episode.[15] If Blake and his crew represent Robin Hood and his Merry Men, then the Federation forces, personified by the obsessive, psychopathic Space Commander Travis and his superior, the beautiful but ruthless Supreme Commander Servalan, represent Guy of Gisbourne and the Sheriff of Nottingham.[11] A common theme of Nation's science fiction is the depiction of post-apocalyptic societies, as in several of his Doctor Who serials, for example The Daleks, Death to the Daleks and The Android Invasion and in his series Survivors, which Nation created before Blake's 7.[12] Post-apocalyptic societies feature in several Blake's 7 episodes including Duel, Deliverance, City at the Edge of the World and Terminal. Although not explicitly stated, some publicity material for the series refers to the Federation as having developed after a nuclear holocaust on Earth.[18] Plot summary Further information: List of Blake's 7 episodes The series is set in a future age of interstellar travel and concerns the exploits of a group of renegades and convicted criminals. Gareth Thomas played the eponymous character Roj Blake, a political dissident who is arrested, tried and convicted on false charges, and then deported from Earth to a prison planet. He and two fellow prisoners, treated as expendable, are sent to board and investigate an abandoned alien spacecraft. They get the ship working, commandeer it, rescue two more prisoners, and are joined by an alien guerrilla with telepathic abilities. In their attempts to stay ahead of their enemies and inspire others to rebel, they encounter a great variety of cultures on different planets, and are forced to confront human and alien threats. The group performs a campaign against the totalitarian Terran Federation until an intergalactic war occurs. Blake disappears and Kerr Avon then leads the group. When their spacecraft is destroyed and one group member dies, they commandeer an inferior craft and a base on a distant planet, from which they continue their campaign. In the final episode Avon finds Blake and, suspecting him of betraying the group, kills him. The group is then shot by Federation guards, who surround Avon in the final scene. Series One List of Episodes Roj Blake, a worker of high social status classified as "alpha-grade", lives in a domed city. Similar domes house most of the Earth's population. Blake is approached by a group of political dissidents who take him outside the city to meet their leader, Bran Foster. According to Foster, Blake was once the leader of an influential group of political activists opposed to the Federation's Earth Administration. Blake was arrested, brainwashed and coerced into making a confession denouncing the rebellion. His memory of those years was then blocked. Foster wants Blake to rejoin the dissidents. Suddenly, the meeting is interrupted by the arrival of Federation security forces, who shoot and kill the crowd of rebels. Blake, the only survivor, returns to the city, where he begins to remember his past. He is arrested, tried on false charges of child molestation and sentenced to deportation to the prison planet Cygnus Alpha.[20] Whilst awaiting deportation from Planet Earth, Blake meets thief Vila Restal and smuggler Jenna Stannis. On board the prison ship London, Blake meets convicted murderer Olag Gan and computer engineer and embezzler Kerr Avon. The London encounters a battle between two alien space fleets and the London's crew plot a course to avoid the combat zone and continue their voyage. They encounter a strange alien craft, board it and attempt to salvage it but are thwarted by the alien ship's defence mechanism. The commander of the London sends the expendable Blake, Avon, and Jenna across to the ship. Blake defeats the defence system when it tries to use memories he recently discovered were false. With Jenna as pilot, the three convicts escape in the alien craft.[21] Blake and his crew follow the London to Cygnus Alpha in their captured ship, which they have named Liberator. They retrieve Vila and Gan, while Blake leaves the other prisoners. Blake wants to use Liberator and its new crew to attack the Federation with the others, especially Avon, as reluctant followers.[22] Blake's first target is a communications station on the planet Saurian Major. Blake infiltrates the station and is assisted by Cally, a telepathic guerrilla soldier from the planet Auron. Blake invites Cally to join the crew. With this new arrival, and including Liberator's computer, Zen, Liberator has a crew of seven.[23] Jacqueline Pearce as Servalan. As Blake's attacks against the Federation become bolder, he has less success. Political pressure grows on the Administration with planetary commanders threatening to leave the Federation because of its inability to protect them from Blake's attacks. Rumours abound about Blake's heroism and other rebel groups use his name for their actions. Supreme Commander Servalan appoints Space Commander Travis, who has a vendetta against Blake, to eliminate Blake and capture Liberator. Servalan often co-opts Travis for her personal projects and uses Blake as a cover for her own activities. When Travis repeatedly fails to eliminate Blake, Servalan does not assign the task to another officer and does not use more resources to eliminate him.[24] Blake meets a man named Ensor and discovers a plot by Servalan and Travis to seize a powerful computer named Orac, which is capable of communicating with any computer that uses a component called a Tariel Cell. Blake's crew suffers from radiation sickness but capture the device before Servalan arrives. Blake offers to perform the operation to save Ensor's life aboard the Liberator but Ensor dies when the power cells for his artificial heart are depleted before they are able to reach Liberator. Aboard the ship, Orac predicts the craft's destruction in the near future.[25] Series Two List of Episodes Liberator, the alien starship used by Blake and his crew for series 1 to 3. The Liberator is recaptured by the people that built it and Orac's prophecy is fulfilled when it destroys an identical space vehicle.[26] Blake wants to attack the heart of the Federation and he targets the main computer control facility on Earth. Avon agrees to help on condition that Blake gives him Liberator when the Federation has been destroyed. Blake, Avon, Vila and Gan reach the control facility and find an empty room. Travis reveals that the computer facility was secretly relocated years before and the old location was left as a decoy. Blake and his crew escape but Travis throws a grenade in the confined area and Gan is killed by falling rubble.[27] After Gan's death, Blake considers the future of the rebellion, and Travis is convicted of war crimes by a Federation court martial at Space Command Headquarters aboard a space station. Blake decides to restore his group's reputation and attacks the space station but Travis escapes and continues his vendetta against Blake.[28] Blake seeks the new location of the computer control facility. He learns that it is named Star One.[29] When Star One begins to malfunction, Servalan also becomes desperate to find its location. The facility's failure causes many problems in the Federation. Star One controls a large defensive barrier that has prevented extra-galactic incursions. Blake discovers Star One's location and finds that, with help from Travis, aliens from the Andromeda Galaxy have infiltrated it. Vila discovers a fleet of alien spacecraft beyond the barrier. Travis partially disables the barrier. Blake and his crew overcome the aliens at Star One and kill Travis but the gap in the barrier allows the aliens to invade. Jenna calls for help from the Federation, where Servalan has conducted a military coup, imposed martial law and declared herself President. Servalan dispatches the Federation's battle fleets to repel the invaders, who begin to breach the barrier. With Blake badly wounded, Liberator by Avon's direction, alone until Servalan's battle fleets arrive, fights against the aliens.[30] Series Three List of Episodes Liberator is severely damaged during the battle with the Andromedans, forcing the crew to abandon ship whilst Zen carries out repairs. The Federation defeats the alien invaders but the cost considerably reduces its influence in the galaxy.[31] Blake and Jenna go missing and Avon becomes the new leader. Two new additions, weapons expert Dayna Mellanby and mercenary Del Tarrant, join the crew.[32] Avon is less inclined than Blake to attack the Federation but Servalan realises that if she captures Liberator, the Federation will quickly restore its former power.[33] Servalan attempts to create clones of herself, but is thwarted when the embryos are destroyed.[34] Avon decides to find the Federation agent who killed Anna Grant, his former lover. The group interrupts an attempt to eliminate Servalan and Avon discovers that Anna is alive and was previously a Federation agent named Bartolemew. Anna tries to shoot Avon in the back but Avon kills her and frees Servalan.[35] Servalan lures Avon into a trap using a faked message from Blake. Servalan finally captures Liberator and maroons the crew on an artificial planet named Terminal but does not know that Liberator has been irreparably damaged after flying through a cloud of corrosive fluid particles. As Servalan leaves Terminal, the ship explodes and Servalan is apparently killed as she attempts to escape by teleporting away.[36] Series Four List of Episodes Scorpio, the Wanderer class cargo ship used for series 4. Booby traps, set by Servalan in her underground complex on Terminal, explode and Cally is killed. Avon, Tarrant, Vila and Dayna escape with Orac and are rescued by Dorian, a salvage operator. Dorian takes the crew in his spacecraft, Scorpio to his base on the planet Xenon, where they meet his partner, Soolin. Dorian plans to drain the crew's life-force and take Orac but is foiled by Vila.[37] Avon completes a new teleport system for Scorpio using the technology left behind by Dorian. Soolin joins the crew and they commandeer Scorpio and occupy the Xenon base. Avon gains control of Slave, Scorpio's main computer.[38] The crew acquires an experimental new stardrive that vastly increases Scorpio's speed, making it even faster than Liberator.[39] The Scorpio crew become concerned about the speed at which the Federation is reclaiming its former territory and discover that Servalan survived the destruction of Liberator. Deposed as President of the Federation, she is using the pseudonym Commissioner Sleer and is enacting a pacification programme using a drug named Pylene-50. The Scorpio crew gain the formula for an antidote to Pylene-50 but this cannot reverse the drug's effects. Avon finds a way to synthesise the antidote and the crew attempt to create an alliance between independent worlds to resist the Federation and get the resources and manpower to mass produce the Pylene 50 antidote. One of the alliance members, Zukan, betrays the alliance to Servalan and detonates explosives on Xenon base, which is damaged and the Scorpio crew are forced to abandon it.[40] Avon tells the rest of the group that Orac has traced Blake to Gauda Prime, an agricultural planet. Blake is masquerading as a bounty hunter; his latest quarry is Arlen, whom he hopes to recruit for his rebellion. Scorpio approaches Gauda Prime and is attacked. The crew, except Tarrant, use the teleport to abandon the damaged craft. Slave is damaged, Tarrant remains aboard to pilot Scorpio and is injured during a crash landing. Blake arrives, rescues and takes Tarrant to his base and purportedly captures Tarrant as bounty. Tarrant thinks that Blake has betrayed the group and Blake lets Tarrant escape. Tarrant is nearly killed by Blake's colleagues when Avon and his crew save him, giving credence to Tarrant's accusation that Blake has betrayed them to the Federation. Becoming very suspicious of Blake, Avon kills him. Arlen reveals that she is a Federation officer and Federation guards arrive. Tarrant, Soolin, Vila, and Dayna are shot by Federation troops, who slowly surround Avon. Avon steps over Blake's body, raises his gun and smiles. Shots are heard.[41] Production history Main article: History of Blake's 7 Terry Nation had the idea for Blake's 7 in a moment of inspiration during a pitch meeting with Ronnie Marsh, a BBC drama executive. Marsh was intrigued and immediately commissioned a pilot script. When he had seen the draft, Marsh approved Blake's 7 for full development.[42] David Maloney, an experienced BBC director, was assigned to produce the series and Chris Boucher was engaged as script editor. Nation was commissioned to write the thirteen episodes. Boucher's task was to expand and develop Nation's first drafts into workable scripts, but this became increasingly difficult as Nation started running out of ideas. Meanwhile, Maloney was struggling with the limited budget available given the need for action and special effects. Despite these challenges Blake's 7 was very popular, with some episodes exceeding ten million viewers. A second series was quickly commissioned.[42] The BBC engaged new writers for the subsequent series. It was decided that one of the regular characters should die, to demonstrate that Blake and his crew were not invincible. Gan, played by David Jackson, was chosen because Gan had been under-used and was the least popular character. Although ratings declined compared to the first series, the BBC commissioned a third.[42] When Gareth Thomas and Sally Knyvette decided not to return, new characters were required so that the story could continue without its titular character. Suggestions for a replacement actor for Blake were rejected and Avon became more prominent in the story. New characters Del Tarrant, portrayed by Steven Pacey and Dayna Mellanby, portrayed by Josette Simon, were introduced.[42] Blake's 7 was not expected to be recommissioned after the third series and there was surprise when during 1980 a further series was announced as the third series ended. Bill Cotton, BBC Head of Television, had watched Terminal and enjoyed it greatly. He telephoned the presentation department and ordered them to make the announcement.[5] As David Maloney was unavailable, Vere Lorrimer became the producer. He introduced new characters, a new spacecraft Scorpio and its computer Slave. Jan Chappell (who played Cally) decided that she did not want to return, and was replaced by Glynis Barber as Soolin. Gareth Thomas made a final appearance as Blake and insisted that his character be killed in a definitive manner. Although the fourth series performed satisfactorily in the ratings, Blake's 7 was not renewed again and the final episode had an ambiguous finale. Except for Blake, whose death was contractual, the characters were shown being attacked in such a way that their survival would have been possible had a fifth series been commissioned. The final episode, titled "Blake", was broadcast on 21 December 1981.[42] Although Blake's 7 never crossed over with Doctor Who during its initial run, Gareth Thomas was open to the idea as he was close friends with Doctor Who alumnus Tom Baker, and the two wanted to be 'briefly crossing paths' with one another before going their ways. Ultimately, the idea was scrapped.[43] Filming locations Interior spaceship sets and other indoor scenes were filmed at the BBC Television Centre, Shepherd's Bush in London. For indoor complexes, such as bases or command center bunkers, filming often took place in local power plants and water turbine stations. Location shooting was also extensive with shooting occurring mostly in southern England. Notable location shots include episode eleven, of the first season, "Bounty", where the production was filmed at Quex Park in Kent. The Waterloo Tower in Quex Park was ex-president Sarkoff's residence in exile.[44] The series also used Betchworth Quarry as the surface of an alien planet and Wookey Hole Caves as the site of an alien mine. Additional location shooting took place at Black Park, New Forest, South Bank, Camden Town and the now demolished Wembley Conference Centre. Music and sound effects Blake's 7's theme music was written by Australian composer Dudley Simpson, who had composed music for Doctor Who for more than ten years. The same recording of Simpson's theme was used for the beginning titles of all four series of the programme.[45] For the fourth series, a new recording was made for the closing credits that used an easy listening-style arrangement.[46] Simpson also provided the incidental music for all of the episodes except for the Series One episode "Duel" and the Series Two episode "Gambit". "Duel" was directed by Douglas Camfield, who had a grudge against Simpson and refused to work with him, and so Camfield used library music.[47] Elizabeth Parker provided the music and sound effects for "Gambit". Blake's 7 made considerable use of audio effects that are described in the credits as "special sound". Many electronically generated sound effects were used, ranging from foley-style effects for props including handguns, teleport sounds, spacecraft engines, flight console buttons and background atmospheres. The special sounds for Blake's 7 were provided by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop composers Richard Yeoman-Clark and Elizabeth Parker. Critical reception Blake's 7 received both positive and negative reviews. The fourth episode Time Squad review by Stanley Reynolds of The Times stated, " ... nice to hear the youngsters holding their breath in anticipation of a little terror." Reynolds elaborated, "Television science fiction has got too self-consciously jokey lately. It is also nice to have each episode complete within itself, while still carrying on the saga of Blake's struggle against the 1984-ish Federation. But is that dark-haired telepathic alien girl, the latest addition to Blake's outer-space merry men, going to spell love trouble for blonde Jenna? Maid Marian never had that trouble in Sherwood Forest."[48] During January 1998 Robert Hanks of The Independent compared the series' ethos to that of Star Trek. He wrote "If you wanted to sum up the relative position of Britain and America in this century — the ebbing away of the pink areas of the map, the fading of national self-confidence as Uncle Sam proceeded to colonise the globe with fizzy drinks and Hollywood — you could do it like this: they had Star Trek, we had Blake's 7 ... No 'boldly going' here: instead, we got the boot stamping on a human face which George Orwell offered as a vision of humanity's future in Nineteen Eighty-Four." Hanks concluded that "Blake's 7 has acquired a credibility and popularity Terry Nation can never have expected ... I think it's to do with the sheer crappiness of the series and the crappiness it attributes to the universe: it is science-fiction for the disillusioned and ironic — and that is what makes it so very British."[49] Gavin Collinson of the British Film Institute's Web site Screenonline wrote "The premise of Blake's 7 held nothing remotely original. The outlaw group resisting a powerful and corrupt regime is an idea familiar from Robin Hood and beyond. He added "Blake's 7's triumph lay in its vivid characters, its tight, pacey plots and its satisfying realism...For arguably the first time since the 1950s Quatermass serials, the BBC had created a popular sci-fi/fantasy show along adult lines." His review concludes "Ultimately, the one force the rebels could not overcome proved to be the BBC's long-standing apathy towards science fiction. However, the bloody finale, in which Avon murders Blake, exemplified the programme's strengths — fearless narratives, credible but surprising character development and an enormous sense of fun."[50] The Australian broadcaster and critic Clive James gave a negative appraisal of the series. He called it " ... classically awful British television SF ... no apostrophe in the title, no sense in the plot." James continued "The depraved space queen Servalan ... could never quite bring herself to volatilize the dimly heroic Blake even when she had him square in the sights of her plasmatic spasm guns. The secret of Blake's appeal, or Blakes appeal, for the otherwise infallibly fatale Servalan remained a mystery, like the actual wattage of light bulb on which the design of Blake's spaceship, or Blakes spaceship, was plainly based."[51] Screenwriter Nigel Kneale, whose work included The Quatermass Experiment and other science fiction, was also critical. He described "the very few bits I've seen" as "paralytically awful", claiming that "the dialogue/characterisation seemed to consist of a kind of childish squabbling."[52] Legacy Blake's 7 deviates from the good-versus-evil dualism in Star Wars; Star Trek′s 'feel-good' future; and the episodic structure of Doctor Who.[13] Blake's 7 also influenced Hyperdrive and Aeon Flux.[53] Television playwright Dennis Potter's final work Cold Lazarus was inspired by the show.[54] Blake's 7 remains fairly well regarded. A poll of United States science-fiction writers, fans and critics for John Javna's 1987 book The Best of Science Fiction placed the series 25th in popularity, despite then only having recently begun to be broadcast in the US.[55] A similar poll in Britain conducted for SFX magazine during 1999 put Blake's 7 at 16th place, with the magazine commenting that "twenty years on, TV SF is still mapping the paths first explored by Terry Nation's baby".[56] During 2005 SFX surveyed readers' top 50 British telefantasy shows of all time, and Blake's 7 was placed at number four behind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Red Dwarf and Doctor Who.[57] A similar poll conducted by TV Zone magazine during 2003 for the top 100 cult television programmes scored Blake's 7 11th.[58] Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lucassen was inspired by Blake's 7 in naming his side-project Star One.[59] In 2004 a 15-minute comedy short entitled "Blake's Junction 7" debuted at several film festivals around the world. It was directed by Ben Gregor, written by Tim Plester, and featured Mackenzie Crook, Martin Freeman, Johnny Vegas, Mark Heap and Peter Tuddenham. This parody depicted the characters taking a break at the Newport Pagnell motorway service area.[60][61] During 2006 the BBC produced a 30-minute documentary The Cult of... Blake's 7 that was first broadcast on 12 December on BBC Four, as part of a Science Fiction Britannia series.[62] Revivals The revival of Blake's 7 has been mooted for some years. Terry Nation raised the possibility on a number of occasions and proposed that a new series would be set some years after the existing one. Avon, living in exile like Napoleon on Elba, would be persuaded by a new group of rebels to resume the fight against the Federation.[63] Radio and audio Main article: Blake's 7 (audio drama) During 1998 Blake's 7 was broadcast again by the BBC by radio. The Sevenfold Crown was broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on 17 January 1998 as part of its Playhouse strand. The play was produced by Brian Lighthill and written by Barry Letts. Paul Darrow, Michael Keating, Steven Pacey, Peter Tuddenham and Jacqueline Pearce reprised their television roles, but Josette Simon and Glynis Barber were replaced by Angela Bruce as Dayna and Paula Wilcox as Soolin. The story was set during the fourth series between the episodes Stardrive and Animals. This was followed by The Syndeton Experiment, which featured the same cast, producer and writer and was broadcast as The Saturday Play on 10 April 1999 by BBC Radio 4.[64] BBC Audiobooks released a CD of readings of Trevor Hoyle's novelisations of episodes The Way Back read by Gareth Thomas and Cygnus Alpha read by Paul Darrow.[65] On 11 December 2006 B7 Productions announced that it had recorded a series of 36 five-minute Blake's 7 audio adventures, written by Ben Aaronovitch, Marc Platt and James Swallow.[66] This featured Derek Riddell as Blake, Colin Salmon as Avon, Daniela Nardini as Servalan, Craig Kelly as Travis, Carrie Dobro as Jenna, Dean Harris as Vila, Owen Aaronovitch as Gan, Michael Praed, Doug Bradley and India Fisher.[67] The new series was broadcast by BBC Radio 7 and repeated during mid-2010 as three hour-long episodes: Rebel (written by Ben Aaronovitch), Traitor (Marc Platt) and Liberator (James Swallow). B7 Productions also produced series of 30-minute prequel audio episodes named Blake's 7: The Early Years, which explored the earlier histories of the central characters.[68] During 2011 Big Finish Productions, under licence from B7 Productions, announced that it would be producing a series of audio dramas named Blake's 7: The Liberator Chronicles, which would be " ... a series of exciting, character-driven tales that remain true to the original TV series. We're aiming for authenticity — recreating the wonder of 1978 all over again!" The company also said it would publish a series of Blake's 7 novels at a rate of two per year.[69] During January 2013 Big Finish released an initial full cast audio production, Warship. This was followed during January 2014 with a series of six full cast single disc original stories, with a second series starting in November 2014. Several individuals and companies have produced unofficial material based upon Blake's 7. Alan Stevens, later of Magic Bullet Productions,[70] produced three unofficial audio cassettes between 1991 and 1998: Travis: The Final Act,[71] The Mark of Kane[72] and The Logic of Empire.[73] Stevens also produced a series of audio dramas named Kaldor City, created by Chris Boucher, which link the Blake's 7 universe into Boucher's Doctor Who serial The Robots of Death through the character Carnell (Scott Fredericks), whom Boucher created for the Blake's 7 episode Weapon. Television During April 2000 producer Andrew Mark Sewell announced that he had bought the rights to Blake's 7 from the estate of Terry Nation, and was planning to produce a TV movie set 20 years after the finale of the original series.[74] During July 2003, Sewell announced that he, Paul Darrow and Simon Moorhead had formed a consortium called 'B7 Enterprises' that had acquired the rights and was planning a television miniseries budgeted at between five and six million U.S. dollars. Darrow would play Avon and the series was to be televised during early 2005, depending on " ... many factors, not least financing".[75] Paul Darrow subsequently left the project during December 2003, citing "artistic differences".[76] B7 Enterprises announced on 31 October 2005 that it had appointed Drew Kaza as non-executive chairman, and that it was working on two Blake's 7 projects. Blake's 7: Legacy was to be a two-part, three-hour mini-series, which would be written by Ben Aaronovitch and D. Dominic Devine. Blake's 7: The Animated Adventures was to be a 26-part children's animated adventure series written by Aaronovitch, Andrew Cartmel, Marc Platt and James Swallow.[77] In an interview with Doctor Who Magazine, writer and producer Matthew Graham said that he had been involved in discussions to revive Blake's 7. Graham's concept was that a group of young rebels would rescue Avon, who had been kept cryogenically frozen by Servalan, and then roam the galaxy in a new ship named Liberator.[78] On 24 April 2008, television station Sky1 announced that it had commissioned two 60-minute scripts for a potential series, working alongside B7 Productions.[79] On 4 August 2010, the station said it had decided not to commission the series. B7 Productions said the decision was " ... obviously disappointing", but that the development process has resulted in the " ... dynamic reinvention of this branded series". It said it was confident it would find another partner to develop a new version of Blake's 7 for television.[80] During July 2012, Deadline reported that a remake for US television networks was being developed by the independent studio Georgeville Television.[81] The Syfy network announced on 22 August that Joe Pokaski would develop the script and Martin Campbell would direct the new remake.[82] On 9 April 2013, the BBC reported that a new series of Blake's 7 would be broadcast by SyFy.[83] Other media reported that a full-series order of thirteen episodes had been placed.[84] During 2015, the Nation Estate ended relations with Andrew Mark Sewell and the Blake's 7 licence was awarded to Big Finish Productions. On 4 April 2016, it announced The Liberator Chronicles Volume 12, due to be released later the same month, which would be the final entry in Big Finish's long-running collection of audio box-sets based on Blake's 7 With B7 Media's involvement. All future releases on their Blake's 7 ranges would be produced in-house at Big Finish under full licence. Merchandise Terry Nation had done well financially from commercial exploitation of the Doctor Who Daleks, and recognised the potential for merchandise related to Blake's 7.[85] Nation and his agent Roger Hancock discussed this with Ray Williams of BBC Merchandising in December 1976. By May 1977, twenty-seven items of merchandise had been proposed for release by companies including Palitoy, Letraset and Airfix. However, only a small quantity of these was ever made available.[10] A small number of toys and models were produced. During 1978, Corgi Toys produced a two inch long die-cast model of Liberator with a transparent rear globe. This was re-released the following year in silver with a model space shuttle, and in blue on its own. Also during 1979, Blue Box Toys produced three space vehicle toys that featured the series logo; however, these had never appeared in the television programme.[86] Comet Miniatures produced a nine-inch long injection-moulded model kit of Liberator in 1989, which contained many parts. They also produced a white metallic two-inch Liberator model, and a three-inch Federation trooper figure.[86] A Scorpio clip gun, and Liberator and Scorpio teleport bracelets, were also produced.[42] The children's programme Blue Peter offered a cheaper home-made alternative to fans who wanted merchandise. In its 23 February 1978 show, presenter Lesley Judd demonstrated how to create a replica Liberator teleport bracelet from common household objects. This was followed on 6 June 1983, when presenter Janet Ellis demonstrated a similar method of making a replica Scorpio bracelet.[42] Music The sheet music of the Blake's 7 theme was published by Chappell & Co. Ltd during 1978 with a photograph of Liberator on the front cover.[86] A stereo re-recording of Dudley Simpson's theme music, in a markedly different arrangement to the original, was also released as a single, with The Federation March (a piece of incidental music from the episode Redemption) on the B-side.[42] The Blake's 7 theme was also released on an album BBC Space Themes, and Liberator was featured on the album sleeve. Another version of the theme, 'Blake's 7 Disco', was recorded by Federation and released during 1979 on Beeb Records with a B-side unconnected with the series.[86] Many of the sound effects from the series were released during 1981 as an album BBC Sound Effects No. 26 – Sci-Fi Sound Effects, and re-released later on CD as Essential Science Fiction Sound Effects Vol. 1.[86] Books and magazines Blake's 7 books were produced by various authors and publishers. The first was entitled Blake's 7, written by Trevor Hoyle and Terry Nation, and published during 1978 (novelising the first-season episodes The Way Back, Space Fall, Cygnus Alpha and Time Squad). Its US title was Blake's 7 — Their First Adventure.[86] Hoyle wrote two more books of the series: Blake's 7: Project Avalon (1979, novelising the episodes Seek–Locate–Destroy, Duel, Project Avalon, Deliverance and Orac from the first season) and Blake's 7: Scorpio Attack (1981, novelising the episodes Rescue, Traitor and Stardrive from the fourth season).[87] Publications continued to be issued after the series had ended. Tony Attwood's Blake's 7: The Programme Guide, published by Target during 1982, is a factual overview of the series with a detailed episode guide, an encyclopedia, and interviews with the cast and writers. It was re-issued by Virgin Books during 1994.[86] Attwood also wrote an original novel named Afterlife, which is set after the final episode and was published by Target during 1984.[86] Another original novel, Avon: A Terrible Aspect by Paul Darrow, told the story of Avon's early years before he met Blake, and was published during 1989.[87] World Distributors produced Blake's 7 Annuals for 1979, 1980 and 1981. These featured stories, games, artwork and articles about space.[86] During October 1981 Marvel UK began publishing the monthly Blake's 7 magazine, which included a comic strip by Ian Kennedy as well as text stories, features and photographs. Twenty-five issues including two 'specials' were published, until the magazine closed during August 1983.[86][87] Marvel produced two 'special' magazines during 1994 and 1995, with much of the content written by television historian Andrew Pixley and about how the series was made. Seven issues of Blake's 7 Poster Magazine were published between December 1994 and May 1995.[88] Several books offering insight and background information to Blake's 7 were produced, including Blake's 7: The Complete Guide by Adrian Rigelsford (Boxtree, 1995), Blake's 7: The Inside Story by Joe Nazzaro and Sheelagh Wells (Virgin, 1997), A History and Critical Analysis of Blake's 7 by John Kenneth Muir (McFarland and Company, 1999), and Liberation. The Unofficial and Unauthorised Guide to Blake's 7 by Alan Stevens and Fiona Moore (Telos, 2003).[89] Video and DVD releases During 1985 BBC Video issued four compilation videocassettes containing highlights from the first three series edited into 2 hour features. The first released was The Beginning, containing excerpts from The Way Back, Spacefall, Cygnus Alpha and Time Squad. Duel was released in 1986 with highlights of Seek–Locate–Destroy, Duel and Project Avalon. During the same year Orac was released, containing excerpts from Deliverance, Orac and Redemption. The first three tapes were available in both VHS and Betamax format. The final tape, The Aftermath, was released in Australia during 1986, with extracts from Aftermath, Powerplay and Sarcophagus. During 1990 all four tapes were re-released in the UK on VHS.[86] From 1991 BBC Video released Blake's 7 in episodic order on 26 VHS cassettes with two episodes per tape.[42] Canadian company BFS also released these in North America. During 1997 Fabulous Films company re-released these tapes in different packaging. The BBC and Fabulous Films planned to issue the series as four DVD box sets, but this was disrupted by conflicts with rights-holders B7 Enterprises. These issues were resolved and one series per year was released on Region 2 DVD between 2003 and 2006. During 2007 Amazon sold a four-series box set, but a casualty of the difficulties with Blake's 7 Enterprises was The Making of Blake's 7, a four-part documentary directed by Kevin Davies, intended originally as an extra feature with each DVD release. B7 Enterprises said they " ... did not feel [the documentary] provided a proper tribute or fresh retrospective of the show".[90] The discs contained extra features including bloopers, out-takes, alternative scenes, voiceover commentaries, interviews and behind the scenes footage.

lorna @ #21842: some of your links are really tenuous- this and other grids. try to think more of how the grid appears to the solver- they shouldn't only make sense in hindsight- they shouldn't involve a massive leap. (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21845: hard to get tank from russian, and I also prefer grids that don't mix preceeding and following words. Otherwise this was good (5 years ago)

lorna @ #21851: I respectfully disagree- many grids are full of niche facts, this one was cleverly tricky with everything in plain view, just required lateral thinking. Much more enjoyable to my view. Fooled me! (5 years ago)

malcolm @ #21845: never heard of a hobnail glass, though i see it is a thing; tank follows the three words other than top, so that was a bit confusing, and i was genuinely surprised to find that 'carry case' is relatively common- i don't think i have ever heard that used as a phrase.

lorna @ #21805: I'm sorry I don't think this grid works. As the whole grid is in the same category, adding red herrings and having really tenuous links like sour fruits just makes it pointlessly unsolveable. Lots of those were sour. Lots were yellow. Lots grow in bunches. I'm trying to give more constructive feedback as I think Gaffer was a bit rude! (5 years, 1 month ago)

NiceGuySi @ #21723: Macbeth was a real king but of Scotland and was the inspiration for Shakespeare's play. He died in battle at Lumphanan in 1057. William the Conqueror died 5 weeks after the Battle of Mantes in 1087. More importantly, a megalopolis comes about when existing cities merge; a settlement develops on previously uninhabited land. Therefore a megalopolis cannot be a type of settlement (only kidding!) (5 years, 1 month ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21723: I don't think you can actually say that William the Conqueror died in battle. He was grossly overweight and injured himself when he was thrown against the pommel when he was attempting to capture the French town of Mantes. His internal organs ruptured. He returned to Rouen and died six weeks later. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18309: really good grid, as always (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18310: are pfft and tsk words? The mix of homophones was just evil, I was left with a tangle of 8: chose 4 which were homophones of the top line of a keyboard but chose the right link for the wrong reason! Fiendishly clever but a bit brain- explodey (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18331: good "layered" a team red herrings. Don't usually like hidden words where one word isn't hidden or is a contraction of the same word type (ie given name in a longer given name) but this red herring I think justified the use (5 years, 1 month ago)

Mako @ #21718: I think you have to allow 'flowers' as an answer for the Harry Potter line as well, because they are all flowers. To make it Harry Potter-specific you should have included at least one name that wasn't a flower, like Hermione or Minerva (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18354: Phew! Just made it! Does anyone care about their score? Really? As long as the grid plays well? More annoying when spelling mistakes or inaccuracies affect the game and make it less fun- if a correct answer isn't there just have an imaginary pat on the back. So says a lifelong approval junkie; let it go ;)- (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #21656: Squint McGee thanks for taking comments as intended! If you're new I commend you- you've got some great ideas. Plenty of mwahaha is fine! My favourite setters are TrueCockney and Criptician for cryptics and BinDipper for originality, but stay original. They're just good examples of how to be tricksy without being reverse engineered, shoe- horning in red herrings, or unnecessarily obscure. G'luck! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #16759: Easy. American spellings did not detract from game play, misspelled words are only a problem if they make a group tenuous or hard to spot. This grid took less than 30 secs so not affected at all. Ta :) (5 years, 1 month ago)

phrogge @ #19258: Yayyy, my first perfect score!!! It was fun, but not difficult, since I solved with 1.21 left. Not a drinker, so I had to guess what the alcoholic beverage was. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #1910: Very easy -23 seconds. (5 years, 1 month ago)

phrogge @ #21610: A number of red herring possibilities in the name combos, so nicely confusing. Spotted a couple of trios for which I couldn't find a fourth; needed to be more specific about another set. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Mako @ #21631: Good grid, except technically none of the women you listed were heads of state (a Prime Minister is not a head of state - New Zealand and the UK have a Queen, India and Israel have Presidents) (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2177: Good , manageable grid with crossovers. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Mako @ #21633: It shows the flag under the name of the creator of the grid, Glyn. If you can't handle US-specific genres, do a different quiz. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Kremmen @ #21625: too clever for you? (5 years, 1 month ago)

Kremmen @ #21602: nebulous /ˈnɛbjʊləs/ Learn to pronounce adjective 1. in the form of a cloud or haze; hazy. "a giant nebulous glow" synonyms: indistinct, indefinite, unclear, vague, hazy, cloudy, fuzzy, misty, lacking definition, blurred, blurry, out of focus, foggy, faint, shadowy, dim, obscure, shapeless, formless, unformed, amorphous; rarenebulose "the figure was still nebulous—she couldn't quite see it". I think you are confused at the meaning of nebulous? Please explain how the clues are vague? ho has not heard of Zebra crossing? crossing your eyes? a ferry crossing? who has not heard of saltpeter? bath salt? or salt water? What a puerile comment about the capitalization. To quote my teenage children......"GET a life". (5 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #21602: Thanks for posting. There is room for improvement in my opinion. Most of the clues feel a bit nebulous, the bath and Zebra lines in particular. Stylistically there doesn't seem to be a reason to have capitalised everything. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Glyn Parry Davies @ #4271: INCREDIBLY easy...... but models of atom? I put physicists????????? which is better? (5 years, 1 month ago)

Mako @ #21616: That Madonna line is a particularly devious red herring. Well done. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2198: Reasonable grid. Computer names are a tired category and " backs past and present " might as well have been "people who ever lived". (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18479: good one for kids (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18484: very good idea well constructed (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18485: agree when the connecting factor alters it weakens the group. And is peak a headgear on its own? bit tenuous. Otherwise good play (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18486: if you did, it would be fubar (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18487: some were a bit of a stretch but I agree with duckchaos and it was a lot of fun thanks! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18488: similar to duckchaos. proud of finishing this one as lead down many different routes! shame about the marsupials mistake but it didn't affect game play, only the score. Excellent red herrings, a satisfying grid (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18489: fairly straightforward with nice clear answers, not much variety (all types of...) but a playable grid, thanks (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18491: agree with bin dipper and bacon lard, and the hidden name at the end of a longer name? this was a lot of fun but these made it unnecessarily hard. (5 years, 1 month ago)

NiceGuySi @ #6140: Fun! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lolwut @ #21615: Looks unsuitable for general audiences, but is actually solvable with no relevant specialized knowledge. Two viable solutions though, which is a big no-no. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18494: good effort but wasn't keen on the actress group. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18495: have to agree that the word play wasn't brilliant the rest was good (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18496: when you know what groups you're looking for, what everything means, but can't disentangle the grid, it feels frustrating! Bogged down by too many red herrings here. Very clever but so very many possibilities. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Phrogge @ #21600: Not difficult to sort; and I rather think my choice of "fabric" ought to be regarded as a synonym for 'clothing/material.' (5 years, 1 month ago)

Rob B @ #5633: bill = headland? you bluff, of course... (5 years, 1 month ago)

Gridlington @ #21600: Nice grid, but I must point out a couple of errors that I think are important. "White" as a shipping area (or an Isle) is spelt "Wight". Also there is no "Isle of Scilly". It's plural, "Isles of Scilly". There are around 50 islands in the group and no individual island is called Scilly. I know you can't edit it, and I've made plenty of my own errors. Just need to check everything über-carefully! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18554: I recently did a "things that float" day with some small kids. Sponge lasted all of a few seconds before sinking. Just sayin'. The oil thing, as with all unnecessary extensions into obscurity, is just silly! (Thanks for the interesting fact, though). I'd call plastic and paper materials, not objects!

lorna @ #18598: didn't like the nicholas cage answer- too reverse engineered. GOT was easy- I think people were confused by the mismatch in the explanations! Changing the words made it very difficult to spot, again, makes sense in reverse, but consider the game play for the solver- shouldn't be too frustrating/ feel unfair.

lorna @ #18623: I judge good grids by "clouds parting" moments- this had two for me!

lorna @ #18628: some of these solutions were guessable as they stood out (as complete names etc.) I dodged the red herring as I went for the assassinations before the dressings. I guessed the grid without knowing the groups which to me detracts from the game play but a clever grid. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Jack @ #21548: The Harrison ford link should be Marshall rather than POTUS, or Pilot, Detective, Archeologist as three are surnames and one is a job title. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Jack @ #21564: The Conans one, should be Doyle rather than Holmes. As it doesn't work. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #21562: clever. the li group was genius- I spent ages on thomas red herrings so didn't spot that. Very well done (5 years, 1 month ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21557: Liked your idea of converting the Beatles first names in to spanish, kicked myself for not spotting them. However to supply 16 first names, some converted into spanish, made for an impossibly difficult grid. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Matt @ #21558: Impossible. Still no idea what the categories are with google. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Mako @ #21557: You should have listed the difficulty as fiendish. Some of these are incredibly obscure. Also, the English monarchs line doesn't really work. Firstly, as others have noted, Duncan isn't an English monarch. Secondly, Jane was never crowned and it's debated whether she counts as a legitimate queen. Thirdly, only Duncan was killed during his reign - the others were deposed then later murdered/executed. (5 years, 1 month ago)

farge @ #583: adding break instead of just breaker would make this better (5 years, 1 month ago)

Mako @ #21546: 'Inferno' would have been a better clue than 'circles'. Light show is a bit weak in my opinion. 'Feet' would have been a better clue than height. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18869: really very clever- threw me and didn't know all of the shakespeare group so thanks for teaching me something! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18876: yup. when going for more specific there needs to be a reason to it or it feels unfair to the player. good game though, thanks (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18883: missed the live group as I thought it was going to be more clever ie anagrams or missing letters- then dismissed the idea when left with olive. Silly me! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18888: film called killing zoe- different movie- meant that? good red herrings- nasty that there were so many and no payoff! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18890: Bin Dipper I'm always impressed by the support you show other setters! Gunner- if you need to express that much bile anonymously, hiding behind a computer, I'd KINDLY suggest working out what needs sorting out in your own life. This is intended as friendly advice. :) (5 years, 1 month ago)

Luskentyre @ #21506: Really good Grid. Thank you. (5 years, 1 month ago)

SV @ #21505: Good concepts but a few issues. 1. Using capitalized words for some clues and all caps for some makes it easy to spot the group. 2. Seems like you are being very strict with the accepted answers. For e.g., for the NATO alphabet group, I assume the accepted answer you put in was "NATO Phonetic alphabets" which makes it try to match the full text. You could instead put the text as "NATO, alphabet, phon" and it would match for NATO, phonetic, alphabet, and any combination thereof. Also make sure that you don't add a comma at the end, that would make it accept any answer including blank. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #21496: don't usually like "different letter each time" clues but this worked. I agree I can't see any connection between the actresses? (5 years, 1 month ago)

Jeannie @ #21496: What is the link for the m'lynn group? Can't work out the connection. Others all good! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18948: mix of prefix/ suffix made this hard! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #18950: well said, Bin Dipper sir. See Derren Brown- the Experiments: Remote Control; the internet can act like a mask. Treat people as you would face- to - face. (5 years, 1 month ago)

squareeyes @ #21488: "German" should be "E.H." (5 years, 1 month ago)

pykrete jungle @ #21487: It's a very nice grid, but please consider adding some alternate answers for the group names. For instance, the puzzle didn't take "language" (singular), "citrus", or the alternate spelling of "color." Thanks for the puzzle, though! (5 years, 1 month ago)

NotAFive @ #21481: this is not a five (5 years, 1 month ago)

Paul @ #21481: Very fun - the connections themselves are a bit easy, but I think a couple of the category identifications will trip up the average player. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Pale Fisher @ #21480: Marx chancellor of Germany? When? (5 years, 1 month ago)

Samphire @ #16506: I agree with others- you can't really put pagans as "non-believers". You can't have agnostics in that category either as that is people who aren't sure if they believe or not. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #21476: Fun easy grid, cheers, Great Yarmouth in Norfolk on East Coast (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19021: loved the O= Marx category- bit of lateral thinking! (5 years, 1 month ago)

peddars @ #19267: Should accept "something"; as in something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue ... (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19086: I agree. (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19089: I found this easy but I had an unfair advantage- massive Kate Bush fan! Lovely references. Enjoyed this, thanks! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19094: Bit pointless, sorry. Would maybe benefit from less obvious groupings? I liked the theme, though. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Ellie @ #21471: Nice one, great theme (5 years, 1 month ago)

JerseySue @ #2167: I agree - I only put colours (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2079: Equally as bad as your last one Morse. You're just wasting people's time with your sad-git corpus of knowledge. It's not clever. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2080: Ok smart arse. You like it subjective. I'll do you a grid with irregular French verbs, German self-propelled guns of WW2, cricket clubs in N.Staffordshire and characters in Njall's Saga in 13th Century Iceland. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2082: Good grid. Proper nouns should have capitals. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Verr @ #2247: One group could just as easy be "all orbit the sun" (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19144: Example of "take scope" if it helps- "Taking Scope" By Mark Steedman "A novel view of the syntax and semantics of quantifier scope that argues for a “combinatory” theory of natural language syntax." - nah, me neither! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19147: Sorry- I'm not usually negative but this was awful! Impossible to begin as so many possibilities for groups and crosses. Even after the wall resolved it could have still meant anything, and some answers were obscure cultural references or too general. The initial idea of all colours is great but keep it fair! (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19154: I agree with JP- possible to reverse engineer once you see the resolved group (although I didn't) but almost impossible to spot in the grid? (5 years, 1 month ago)

lorna @ #19157: VERY proud of myself for completing this one! Daunting at first. Wouldn't accept ymca as an answer but I won't hold it against you! Thanks for a fun grid :) (5 years, 1 month ago)

bob @ #10577: The greek letters feel unfair, since there's 6 of them. If you tested it with Tau, Pi, Gamma and Delta, or something along those lines, you might reasonably assume that greek letters isn't the connection. (5 years, 1 month ago)

pykrete jungle @ #21464: Nice grid, but "different name in America" or other alternate answers should be included. Seems like a hard answer to anticipate. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #21455: Excellent (5 years, 1 month ago)

Virapondus @ #2621: Bizarrely, "misspelt words" is deemed incorrect. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2347: The worst kind of grid. 8 first names that could be anything. Rejected ISLE as answer. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2476: Very easy -24 seconds to solve without knowing Horowitz. That Christmas was rejected for a pretty weak group, was poor. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2479: Synonyms for angry not accepted. They are adjectives. As for a category with "ea", you might as well have words containing a vowel. (5 years, 1 month ago)

Conan @ #21446: Nice Grid (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #21448: I echo comments re parliament: and to have "US Senate" refused, when the group actually contains the word "Senator", is just screwy! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Saravana @ #7276: (5 years, 2 months ago)

J @ #21448: Good grid. Not sure about the parliament group. Not every parliament has all these positions. Wen't for the more general 'political' answer but was considered incorrect. (5 years, 2 months ago)

BlackOwl @ #21425: Could use a spelling check ("Nickle" - also is "tarantulas" supposed to be plural?) and, although steel is a metal, maybe a non-alloyed metal could have worked instead. Cheers (5 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #19250: It's always difficult to find when a different factor changes each time in one group. Some of those words worked by dropping a letter (grouped differently)- was that a deliberate red herring? (5 years, 2 months ago)

lorna @ #19251: That was the best bit! Didn't have a Scooby apart from "tied" group but really learned something with the etymologies- thanks! (5 years, 2 months ago)

koshatnik @ #21430: Great fun, thanks! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Jim @ #21443: I'm not sure copper works as a type of jug. I can't find any references to that phrase by Googling, except in the trivial sense that copper is one of the many materials of which a jug could be made, like a copper bowl or a copper mug. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #21434: Atheism is not a religion. It is very specifically a lack of religion. 'Ju'? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Who @ #21434: Poorly spelled (ju?) and simple categories. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #21424: Fun grid, thanks. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Christobal @ #21347: I think the grid is fine. Nobody is suggesting that Ford was assassinated. The point of a red herring is to confuse you - which it does - but it doesn't HAVE to be a possible fifth member of a group. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Jack @ #21404: There are two many valid combinations of black. It should only have one legitimate one. Otherwise its more about guessing what it is the grid designers mind! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Xtina @ #21406: This is very elegant but very easy sorry tom (5 years, 2 months ago)

Alison @ #21366: Good (5 years, 2 months ago)

Reynardine @ #21404: Nice grid - not difficult (I just did it hungover), but fair with good herrings (Black Panther not working threw me for a fair while, ditto Blackbeard). Cheers for it :-) (5 years, 2 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21404: Aetees, Enjoyed this grid very much, a good challenge, not too easy and not impossible. Clever choice of using "stereotypical teenager" in the spotty row. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #1875: "Aibohphobia" must have been invented purely to delight and enrage word puzzle solvers. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #1818: Quite cheeky, that, featuring crossovers of the boardgame Clue/Cluedo, Beatles albums and Hitchcock films! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #238: The rendering had a bit of an Annie Rooney: the grid froze and wouldn't respond, but the clock kept ticking. Oh well. The grid itself is very good, though. (5 years, 2 months ago)

sknextst @ #21337: That was enjoyable and relaxing, but I agree that two "hidden words" categories is one too many. (5 years, 2 months ago)

sknextst @ #21352: @Johnaboy, the beginning three letters of each of those words form the word for a type of vehicle (SUV, van, bus, car). (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #3188: Joseph was a naughty one, as these days Stalin's Christian name is usually transliterated "Josef", there being no "ph" in the Cyrillic alphabet! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #8441: Radio *channel*?? Out here in the sticks, we calls 'em radio *stations*. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #4155: More red herrings than a gang of hunt sabs. Very good. Re: Pitch, Court, Diamond, Field: I said, "where different sports are played", and this was accepted. The crucial thing, it seems, was to mention sport. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #4165: Gold and Silver are Olympic medals, and "Medal of Honor" is the title of a computer game series; but the Victoria Cross isn't called "The Victoria Cross Medal". Or am I just gurning like a sorry loser? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #7062: Very American. In the rest of the English-speaking world, an "Ivy League" would probably be called a Flat-Top. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Barmby @ #21366: Cardinal should have been accepted (not sure why it didn't). (5 years, 2 months ago)

gaffer @ #21126: always mark down GOT, Potter, marvel etc (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #1396: Gain, Mount, Bout, Shamed: the answer I gave was "positions in a one-night stand", and it said I was correct, presumably because my answer included the letter "a". (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #10577: Damn difficult. But you aren't left feeling stupid, just marvelling at how clever the grid's creator is. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #6140: Good fun! (5 years, 2 months ago)

BredMaker @ #21383: My mistake. Sorry for that. As you can see, I'm not very good in English. I think Alice should be replaced by Toulouse (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21370: Hard indeed. I got the whiskies and nothing else :-( (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21382: You know it's a good but hard grid when you find zero linkages, yet manage to name them all correctly once the groupings are revealed. Top job! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #21366: For connections, I tried 'cardinal', 'traitor', 'writer', and 'painter' and got nothing, which seems harsh. Richard Simon was a painter, although I suppose Rosalie Gascoigne is more into sculpture. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21383: Not sure about mixing plural and singular in the Alice group but in general excellent. I hadn't heard of a Monte Christo and I think one might now have to be in my near future (5 years, 2 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #21390: Didn't except colours, which I believe they are, don't get the answers either, puzzling (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #21377: The "Words With Friends" question was a little misleading, leading the player to assume their capitalisation was significant. However, a damnably fiendish one, worthy of Only Connect itself! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Johnaboy @ #21364: "All words which end with the name of a bird": that's abysmal! That might've come from the "Boys' Own Paper" itself! (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21337: 7/10, a good grid. Though having two "hidden words" groups in one game makes it a bit same-y. (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21365: The football one was OK: I grouped the footballing elements OK and I know nothing about football! Though of course I didn't get the full connection, but it was a fair play for a Hard. The "chop" one was a delight. (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21366: Burgess not being in the spies camp was a bummer! Managed to salvage 6/10, which is pretty good going on a Hard for me. (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21383: Whoa, this certainly was a Hard! 1/10 for me (just the lucky symbols), but it's a well put together grid. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2668: Very easy -29 seconds. Didn't accept crustaceans. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2686: Very easy. Didn't accept scout as answer. Why capital letters for trees?. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2711: Pretty sad grid. Get out more, say to Valetta, Oslo or Sofia. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2712: Did it in 23 seconds without ever hearing of Dean Koonz. Needs to be classed as easy. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2718: Very simple, no crossovers. Would not accept precipitation as an answer. Should be classed as easy. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #21378: Good grid, hard, got countries but was convinced on sCUBA (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21378: A good grid, but a hard one. I only got two of the connections (the acronyms and the palindromes), and probably wouldn't have found the others even with longer time. Good job though! (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21380: The groups and connections are of an OK quality, but the allowed keyword answers could be much more comprehensive. For instance "undress" for the skin/bare/strip/expose group or "covering" for the rind/hide/peel/coat group should be OK, shouldn't they? I try not to get hung up on whether or not I get full marks from the system, but a few broader keywords for each category would give many more people a feeling of winning. (5 years, 2 months ago)

bert @ #18817: great grid - top notch (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21369: Fantastic grid. We scored 0/0 but that doesn't matter. Goofy by the way has trousers and a jumper, shoes, and glove clad hands featuring opposable thumbs. He walks upright. Goofy is clearly part man. The better question is whether the other part is dog or cow. Snopes isn't loading at the moment. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21370: Street Fighter 2 characters are by no means niche, although inexplicably Ms. Larry didn't know them. At least it wasn't another grid about Pokemon or Game of Thrones. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21376: It's true, Jakes is an old word for the John, which became Gary. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21377: I am a scrabble man, myself. I should add that I use the international words list, which includes Za. No need to capitalise. (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #8355: Nice grid, though not too hard at all - polished it off with 2mins to spare and max points. I don't often manage than with a "medium" grid! (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21374: Got the quarks and the cars, but that was it! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Barmby @ #21365: Hi, yeah thought football one would be most tricky - thought Ipswich was the possible entry clue, possibly should have added other more famous single winners like Southampton but as I'd chosen to try for a hard category thought selected teams were (just about) justified.

Wordie @ #21346: Good grid (5 years, 2 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21363: The stem is the most forward part of a boat or ship's bow and is an extension of the keel itself. It is often found on wooden boats or ships, but not exclusively. (Wikipedia) This grid is clever and much too clever for me! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Wordie @ #21364: Thanks for this puzzle. I made the wall with a minute to go, but did not find the common link to the final row (with wells in it) (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21347: Nice... but altho he wasn't assassinated, ford was still a president so you can swap him with lincoln (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21333: I hadn't thought that "shrimp" could be a verb (I was wrong!), but it didn't stand in the way of me completing the grid. Nice work, Mr Aetees. (5 years, 2 months ago)

taildragger @ #21345: Nice grid! Sorry to be picky, but there's a spelling mistake in the answer for the Great group: Tony the Tiger of Frosties fame said "They're great", not "There great" :-) (5 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #21342: Ridiculously obscure - very poor, just listing wierd unknown connections to show off is the opposite of the point of this site. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Kirth @ #31: Wouldn’t accept Irish county??? (5 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #6366: Possibly the worst grid on the site - and I like football. It's not about difficulty per se, it's just ludicrously obscure. Don't know how some of these grids get on to the list of 'best'. (5 years, 2 months ago)

BredMaker @ #21335: Where I should start from? I think it's enough to show that Nani can be swapped with Wendy or Lilo with same clues: Lilo obviously have sister Nani and Wendy Darling also have brothers. And who the hell calls Pleakley by the name? (5 years, 2 months ago)

rabbit @ #21336: This is clever! I like themed grids. Thank you for this! (I feel like "princesses" is a valid connection for the Aurora line though?) (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2927: Very easy. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2927: If you expect "uncorporeal spirit forms" as an answer instead of ghosts, you should spell Anglesey correctly and find a way of inserting a German Umlaut in Doppelgänger. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mags @ #14426: What rubbish! (5 years, 2 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21314: Fiendish to say the least...and I could have sat hereuntil Doomsday and not got the sttistics link. (5 years, 2 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21322: Good grid. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Golfer444 @ #21322: I thought there was an avengers link. "Clint" Eastwood, "Hulk" Hogan, "Tony" Soprano and one that I couldn't figure out. T'was truly evil (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21324: I think there may be a generational gap with the Break group, i certainly hadn't heard that phrase. Nice grid all round though. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Timmon @ #21310: I put cartoons so technically I'm right. And I agree with Knife. If Shakespeare is allowed for one, then Chaucer should be allowed for t'other. But I still gave high marks. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #21323: Good one. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Cramy @ #21265: Thanks for the feedback x, but there's no rule you have to use actual words (in any case chiro is a combining word that exists in the dictionary), and talon is a homophone for Tallinn in many parts of the UK. (5 years, 2 months ago)

RBR45 @ #21323: Like that one 10/10 (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21322: Nice grid, the mobster's were a little obscure for me. (5 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #21313: Not bad, though I thought the scheme one was a bit weak, but the facial disfigurements made up for it. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21297: Ms. Larry says "Pokemon and Harry potter all in one there. You might as well include flipping Smiths albums.... and types of bloody rice". Her four least favourite things apparently. (5 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #21310: Pretty good, although I would quibble that Chaucer should be accepted as a link for the Canterbury Tales one (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21311: Couldn't see the fairies. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21315: 10/10. That's what we scored. I award this grid 1 Million scovilles, in other words very good. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Larry. @ #21320: There are more experts in historical weapons on here than on the 4th floor of my local Waterstones. Also "Sword beach" wouldn't have been a good code name for a beach, you know, originally. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Gin @ #21310: I put disney companions and it was incorrect? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #8410: Very easy to spot the categories. Should allow 'Gerald' without famous. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21311: Well done! An excellent Grid, good range of categories, and a couple of red herrings desserts. Personally I can never spot the homophones so it was very difficult. (5 years, 2 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21302: I didn't have a scooby.....the only ones I got were finger, ice and cherry......but I thought the link was bowl so I was hopelessly off track. Top work...you fiend!!! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Not Him, But Me @ #21297: Harry Potter and Pokemon. Yikes. I'm sure Bob Christie is a lovely man but even when I googled the name I found no one that could be described as "famous" (a Scottish TV announcer who retired 19 years ago?) Fiendish right enough! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aardvark @ #21297: Yep that and Harry Potter - can't comment on the difficulty as I know nothing about either of those subjects. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #21300: Got them all, but particularly liked the maroon group. Well constructed. (5 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #12749: very poor to misspell Rachel - confuses the issue unnecessarily. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Kelvin the Melvin @ #21288: This is medium difficulty? Maybe to someone who's a Bond film aficionado, who has a penchant for bawdy British films with a love for the novels of P. G. Wodehouse and relaxes by watching films and TV shoes about animated cats. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Andrew @ #12: Should take groups (5 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #21281: June group weakest of an otherwise good grid. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Paxo @ #2254: There are 2 19s, and each is attached to only one answer. Also, the error check should be able to pick up the root of the answer (triangular was incorrect, triangle was correct...) (5 years, 2 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #21281: That blue group needed another mote obvious one to guide us, even if didn't really make sense. Nothing wrong with a Bost or a Dall, maybe even a Hono or a Miam. June and Phil, like a Pitt, are supremely vague, even by obscure Only Connect standards. (5 years, 2 months ago)

x @ #21265: chiro isn't a word and talon isn't a homophone (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21174: A) really? The Florida Keys are definitely a thing, and it's one of the biggest - it's even listed on wikipedia as a major Key b) they are in the UK, and most other places (see IEC 60446) so given you're complaining about Americanism not sure where you are from and c) Consumer of Tarts felt a little graphic.

kate kraken @ #21264: good grid and i solved it - thanx :-) (5 years, 2 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21263: interesting groups (5 years, 2 months ago)

Robert weight @ #21259: Played it and enjoyed it (5 years, 2 months ago)

Robert weight @ #20398: (5 years, 2 months ago)

Robert weight @ #20398: (5 years, 2 months ago)

detectivepikachu @ #21260: pokemon! ^_^ (5 years, 2 months ago)

Verr @ #1821: The clue "screen" is just as good as "baseball" (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21261: Pretty good. Rather depends on the film: Haven't seen it so though spotting the what the groups was easy, spent ages guessing who exactly was what. (Unsuccessfully) (5 years, 2 months ago)

Jime @ #21234: I think including 'hair' in that group is legitimate. Reminds me of Cilla and The Beatles (5 years, 2 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21261: brill :-) (5 years, 2 months ago)

Drblack @ #21182: They are definitely 17th century writers https://www.thefamouspeople.com/17th-century-writers.php (5 years, 2 months ago)

bert @ #18647: /pedant, its insulation tape, not electric tape (5 years, 2 months ago)

Halken @ #17624: Lipton is not a soda, so beverage brands... (5 years, 2 months ago)

Balex @ #21234: Hair? Is 4by4 a scouser? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #21236: Small Heath is very obscure and 'Education, Education' isn't repeated to make 'Education, Education, Education'. (5 years, 2 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21261: good grid (5 years, 2 months ago)

Balex @ #21258: Good overall, but neither "producer" nor "musical" worked for me as answers (5 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #21255: It's Indira Gandhi, not India Ghandi. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Gizmo Madug @ #20405: I saw Lindybeige and thought - Tanks! (5 years, 2 months ago)

chris @ #21258: Well constructed and quite difficult (5 years, 2 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21260: good pokemon group (5 years, 2 months ago)

hmm @ #21255: Bit of an odd one this - Socialism and Communism are not the same so there's not a strong reason they'd be in the same grouping (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21258: Defeated me, not my areas of expertise by any stretch but it seems well put together. (5 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #21260: pokemon will always stop me solving a grid. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Micky two pies @ #21260: nice grid....until pokemon. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #21071: Really well constructed thanks. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #21183: That was fun, scored 6/10, nice mix of content. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #21218: The decoy running through the grid was fun and had me confused for a while but I finished on 7/10. Enjoyed it, cheers. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #21139: Fun but frustrating, must have tried just about every other possible combination for the Rain and Piano groups without actually getting them. Cheers! (5 years, 2 months ago)

BredMaker @ #21131: Sorry for that. I was a little bit nostalgic, when was creating this grid. Next time I'll choose something less geeky. (5 years, 2 months ago)

elliot @ #33: Can't say I've ever heard of any of those slang terms for money other than a grand. (5 years, 2 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21259: 1000 eyes of Dr Mabuse - sorry the last letters got cut off (5 years, 2 months ago)

mike @ #21255: Gandhi not Ghandi (5 years, 2 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21254: Some puzzgrids are really clever, Some puzzgrids are really interesting, Some puzzgrids are pleasurable, Some puzzgrids are thought-provoking, Some puzzgrids are elegant,................................................................ (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21121: "Due" is a language the interweb hasn't heard of. You might just be wrong. And please - administratively - don't admonish your participants. We work by your rules. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21126: OK. Promising. "Lotr" doesn't seem to register as a category. Probably should do. "Last Christmas" is really a bit obscure. First names of actors connected fictionally as characters seems a bit of a long bow... (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21128: Very good. Beat me. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21115: Nice grid. "Sound bar" is a bit 'modern'. Would never have thought of it! (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21131: Not bad, except - who has ever heard of "W.I.T.C.H."? I was not a cutely geeky teenage girl 15 years ago! (And any interest in that area should have demanded police interest). And with that weird Italian/Manga fixation... odd, and obscure. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21138: "Unction" is not such an accurate clue. "Extreme unction" would work better, but would give it away. Although "Mass" and "bathing" are hardly giving the game away. Very general! (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21139: As we're playing "puzz grid", I would have guessed that might have made it as a connecting factor! But yes, technically specific! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Virapondus @ #98: Can't imagine Victoria refusing to allow "tonic sol-fa". (5 years, 2 months ago)

Ribzy62 @ #21257: Terrible I didn't know what the last one wrong I should have got it write (5 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #598: One of the better ones - so many cricket terms make you think hard. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21244: What hasn't? :-) (5 years, 2 months ago)

tux @ #21218: Professions should be allowed for the occupation answer (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21149: I'm guessing many of us can't spell portmanteau? "Ages" of comic books is beginning to get a bit niche. For grown-ups. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21125: Cats: a T.S. Elliot connection would also have worked. Sugababes? - a bit niche: not a feature of global culture, and about 2 decades out of date! UK-only geography stuff is a bit tough for many of us. (5 years, 2 months ago)

fortesque-smyth @ #20398: howzat! (5 years, 2 months ago)

Jaws @ #18823: mwah x (5 years, 2 months ago)

Tea Bread @ #9557: I think you might have led yourself to insanity with this kind of attempt. (5 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #519: being extremely obscure for its own sake (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21158: I guess they're all obscure if you don't know them, but I needed a lot of guess work. Good thing there weren't red herrings or at.least ones in could spot. Also 6.022 etc. Isn't always. True e.g. 1 mole.of water contains 3 time that many atoms (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21155: "Measurements" would have done for your imperial line. The Squarepants stuff is just above obscure. (5 years, 2 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #21248: Not too difficult for me, once I identified the Eurovision winners and the cocktails. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Victoria @ #21208: Have to agree with other comments. European composers is equally as correct as European airports. Also "Austrians" is an unacceptable alternative to "Famous Austrians"?? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Yorkshire Pudding @ #21249: Not as difficult as I expected from the rating. Enjoyable though. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Loj @ #21200: I think the religious leaders group is quite good. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21234: Hair? Um, nope. The rest of your grids, I really like. (5 years, 2 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21158: T, I'm beginning to think you are doing this deliberately, because out of self-doubt I just tried Google on "CAT scan" ("uses X-rays and a computer" says the NHS website) and "bulling parade shoes" (3rd Google result is a list of Youtube videos on how to polish shoes). Are you winding us up? (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21165: I've not been to a cinema where a "stub" was a feature in 20 years. And am too cheap for a bucket! And "snack"? Could be anything. Very unlikely in a cinema. (5 years, 2 months ago)

CheeseMonk @ #21249: Sorry the same grid was posted twice, folks! There was a glitch in the matrix and the first time I hit submit it didn't work so I hit it again and it posted it twice. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21159: Can't really fault you, but the vowel-swapping stuff is pushing the medium! (5 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #10651: I was ruggish solving this grid. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Sarah @ #21230: A Santa lived as a Devil, is not a Palindrome. It should read A Santa Lived as a devil at NASA (5 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #10252: Cone, Pear, Way and Lime could be a group if you add 'S'. Had me looking for others..... good grid otherwise. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21207: Too tough for me but a good grid. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21214: @T, there's nothing wrong with grids for the younger players as well. We don't do well with footballers or actors from the 1980's and any number of other things. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21244: Good. Though I feel like capital cities has been done to death, not that that is your fault. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Paratus @ #21234: You somehow managed to get put Jo and Russell Brand into a comedian group. Epic fail there mate. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #21239: Not bad. I enjoyed it. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Camera Pens @ #21113: Thanks all! Now we just need to combine the subjects... Stephen King's 'Phantom of the Furchester', anyone? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Camera Pens @ #21126: Yeah, it's definitely a grid that favours fans of fantasy. But that being said, I'd argue that having a spot of general knowledge about a subject doesn't mean you have to be 'into it'. Squiggle - I agree about the missing 'e' group. After writing it up, I felt more like "that'll do" than "that's a great group". Bit lazy of me. :P (5 years, 2 months ago)

JerseySue @ #4638: Thanks - loved this esp Jockstrap! Clever (5 years, 2 months ago)

Camera Pens @ #21167: Thanks everybody. Glad you're generally enjoying! Bert - sorry you didn't like it. Different strokes for different folks, amirite? (5 years, 2 months ago)

Camera Pens @ #21238: Sorry you didn't enjoy it, T! It wasn't intended to be exclusionary - but I totally get that a few of the names mentioned are better known within the UK than without. :) (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21158: I'm afraid you've been madly off-tee with x-rays. Nothing to do with a cat-scan. Big miss. Also, "Ram" - very obscure. And "bulling" - never heard of it. Neither has Google. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21172: Um. "oz" isn't a word. It's a shorthand for a country, or a mythical place-name. Neither really qualifies. And a bit Fraiser-heavy. Keep the oblique TV references to one quadrant. Some of us didn't bother to notice it in the 90s. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21173: Not bad. Do struggle with the time-limited and UK-only reality TV-type references. No-one outside the UK in 2019 gets that. Actually, there's no chance. A bit dodgy. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21161: "Total football" seems to have been a thing from before my birth. I've never heard of it! And Gloucester towns? Could I use rural NZ towns? (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21119: Difficult! I think the "buster" line was a bit impenetrable. Who's ever heard of Bad Manners, let alone the lead singer (outside the UK)? While "comic" is far too general. "Five Find-Outers"? A cultural reference I just didn't get. Of all the Enid Blyton writings, these didn't make it anywhere near the Southern Hemisphere. (5 years, 2 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21244: really good (5 years, 2 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21207: Thanks for the feedback, T, looking at some of your remarks on other grids I'm taking it as a positive! (5 years, 2 months ago)

A @ #6140: dances could also be music styles that go with those dances (5 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #21244: Good (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21244: And I don't think a person has ever "held" a diocese. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21244: Good, but would like to see something like "ecclesiastical" applied to the "Catholic officials" quadrant. The original, not entirely accurate, if one considers Coptic polity. Because this is a game for pedants. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21233: Nice. Again the cheddar red herring was well placed. More knowledge of film directors and a specific filmscape would have done me good. And, let's be honest, some global geology wouldn't have hurt. (5 years, 2 months ago)

Leif @ #21215: There is nothing wrong with T-Swift, Connections come in all forms, including pop music (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21234: "Hair" does not work, outside perhaps your own region. And the "has wings, can fly" connection seemed a little broad. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21236: Nintendo references are slightly 'of a generation', and "Small Heath" a bit niche for those of us on the other side of the world! ;) (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21238: Very one dimensional. Difficult for those of us outside the UK to even bother with. (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21239: NFL teams, but singular!? More legitimate to make the birds plural, I would have thought! (5 years, 2 months ago)

T @ #21174: "Major key"? - the use of "major" is just obfuscating. And the rest of the world spells it "Quay"! Earth wires aren't stripey where I live! I don't think you can call prostitution a "purchase", and of course that whole "John" thing is an americanism that means two of the four terms don't really work elsewhere. (5 years, 2 months ago)

CHARON @ #583: Enjoyable, perhaps not so likely to succeed at 2am! :-) (5 years, 3 months ago)

Enchilada @ #21230: The blue category is does not work (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21236: Bit harsh Joe.....especially as the request is ito comment f you have something nice to say about a grid (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21239: Really frustrated I missed the ure group....sometimes the obvious is so obvious you just can't see it....nice grid (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21244: Nice one...... (5 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #21244: Given the Diocese group, I was surprised not to see Mitre as a distractor in the Coping group. Good grid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #21236: Crap (5 years, 3 months ago)

Ali @ #17287: MR and LR do not sound like Emma and Ella! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #21230: The full palindrome is "A Santa lived as a devil at NASA'. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #21230: The full palindrome is "A Santa lived as a devil at NASA'. (5 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #21233: Good stuff. Had difficulty getting away from the cheddar red herring (5 years, 3 months ago)

Daddy @ #21240: Lovely grid, sightly dodgy spelling... (5 years, 3 months ago)

J @ #8815: Great :) (5 years, 3 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21200: flama is a font type (5 years, 3 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21234: I concair with Christinaangel! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #21233: Very nice (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #21236: This is quite a UK centric grid, apologies to those beyond this sceptred isle (5 years, 3 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #21234: Almost an excellent grid, but finally a poor one. Why? Hair !!! Ruined the whole thing. Not sure what your accent is. Also the blue group was a bit so so. The letters homophone dummy, though, was great. Shame. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Wordie @ #21233: A workman-like straight forward puzzle. Thanks. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21230: 30 seconds I won't get back (5 years, 3 months ago)

Big si @ #21230: A Santa lived as a devil is not a palindrome (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #21229: @T Robin Hood's actual name is Sir Robin of Loxley, I didn't think that was especially obscure. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #21230: A Santa Lived As a Devil is not a palindrome (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21220: Somewhat amazed to get 10/10 (5 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #21229: got the groups but 2 of the explanations are a bit dodgy! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Larry. @ #21216: Boom 20 seconds. Nice. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Larry. @ #21218: We also had: Chris Cornell, Chad Smith, Jimmy Chamberlain, and possibly Alice Cooper. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Larry. @ #21220: nice one (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21231: AHA!! (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21219: Harbinger......my sincere apologies...I believe I spelled Canadians as CanadiEns in my options......I shall go and sit in the corner for at least half an hour!! (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21177: Again, very UK-football-Scots and (outside the UK never-heard of) Chris-centric. Got them, but please, how about some stuff we all know? (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21179: Very UK focused - impossible for those of us outside the UK. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21182: "17th century writers" is of course entirely inaccurate, but "writers" should at least be considered as a "completed". [People who were active in the 1700s, are considered by most of the English-speaking world to have been doing things in "the 18th century".] (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21196: Just a bit straightforward... (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21229: In what world has Robin Hood ever been known as a knight? Plus "Burton" as an ale is very, very obscure. (5 years, 3 months ago)

EDF @ #8403: I think it would have been better if there was a distinction between capitalised answers and non-capitalised (5 years, 3 months ago)

egg @ #21219: great puzzle (5 years, 3 months ago)

birdbrain @ #21208: you wanna sort your links out - Austrians not allowed? currencies not allowed? (5 years, 3 months ago)

birdbrain @ #21216: The animals one is too loose (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21200: And what is "Flama" anyway? (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21200: The religious leaders one was stupidly hard. And stupid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Luke @ #21206: Color is also a way to spell colour, so should accept this too. My spell check even tells me to put color. (5 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #21229: good grid (5 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #5501: good grid (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #14990: Woop! Good one! (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #16096: It didn't accept hieroglyphics! (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #21213: Didn't accept 'berries'! (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #21218: Great red herrings! (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #21220: Excellent grid! The singing drummers stumped me, even though I got all the matches. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Harbinger @ #21219: Would have got 10/10 if "canadians" was an acceptable answer. Otherwise, good grid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21201: Got it, but never saw Logan's Run. It was made when I was 3 and am now well into middle age. That might be a little dated. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21206: "Fruit" is one of the plurals of "fruit". That is quite a dumb mistake. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21207: OK, you have an interest in military cyphers. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21208: Composers. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21214: NO! You are not allowed to include two comic related lines in your 16! This is the law! The older member of "the community" don't do well. ;) But honestly, that's a bit niche. (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21215: Indeed, "legend" is far more apt than "BBC series". And Taylor Swift - are we all 12? (5 years, 3 months ago)

T @ #21218: Perhaps the term "professions" might exist as accurate beside "occupations"?! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Jime @ #21218: I couldn't see the wood for the trees on the occupational surnames one. Well done. Good red herring thread throughout. (5 years, 3 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21220: great themes (5 years, 3 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21219: really difficult but learned somethings new (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mike @ #21213: Do the two non-superhero groups have any crossovers or red herrings? (5 years, 3 months ago)

Big si @ #21208: I agree, the airports does not work as they are properly linked just as composers (5 years, 3 months ago)

Yve @ #21208: very clever..The airport twist was brilliant (5 years, 3 months ago)

Big si @ #21215: Need to expand the merlin category to include Camelot or Arthurian legend, which came well before bbc merlin (5 years, 3 months ago)

Sweep @ #21215: Good grid, first one I've done in ages! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Sweep @ #21215: Good grid, first one I've done in ages! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #21213: Didn't accept 'berry'. Superhero stuff is pretty niche. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #21208: Don't think the airports group really works, as they are equally just linked by being composers. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Shifty @ #10267: Cockney Rhyming Slang? really... (5 years, 3 months ago)

Shifty @ #8199: The word one is totally tenuous at best... (5 years, 3 months ago)

idel101 @ #21177: Crossovers could have been better (5 years, 3 months ago)

kate kraken @ #21208: just right to be very enjoyable and instructive :-) (5 years, 3 months ago)

Him @ #21206: For one of your answers you have the plural. Accept the singular too (5 years, 3 months ago)

neilb4god @ #21206: Orange and peach could be swapped into both categories meaning there's more than one possible solution. (5 years, 3 months ago)

anthony @ #21206: a good grid ,fruits category did not accept fruit (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #21198: I put elements too! (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #21206: The "fruits" category didn't accept "fruit"! Perhaps you could change this. (5 years, 3 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21181: Thanks very much, squiggle (5 years, 3 months ago)

Broken Clues @ #14737: Greenback is misspelled and takes away the meaning when trying to solve. Was this intentional we thought? Also your homophone clue did not match "main" and should have allowed simply for saying "homophones of other words" rather than having to type out POSSIBLE matches for all four of your words (and then choosing a valid one other than you did). BLAH! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21200: Clever grid, but probably too clever! Trying to spot the Sherlock Holmes connections, and the hidden spiritual leaders is asking a lot. (5 years, 3 months ago)

HeR!ses666 @ #21200: My favourite grid! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Larry. @ #21183: You don't really need to say 'fictional dinosaurs' as all dinosaurs are fictional. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21198: Sorry about that Matty, I thought town would get you it... and I guess they are all elements, should have put Gas or Steel instead. Oh for an edit button :-) (5 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #21196: cb beat me to it. Also, the explanations should do more than just repeat the answers. Could do better (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #21198: Nice. I put elements for the iron group, but i suppose that only works if you combine two meanings of the word. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Rikstir Halfbearf @ #21204: Eyeg should be Eyed (5 years, 3 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #10102: May I suggest that you get out more. Even Sheldon likes physics AND flags. Learn a highly inflected language like German. Re-fight battles of the American Civil War with 6mm figures. Learn to play Jimi Hendrix on tbe guitar. Play cricket. Actually my life sounds quite sad as well. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #21198: Put miss spelt towns (which they are ) (5 years, 3 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #10110: WHAT ?????? (5 years, 3 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #10111: Nice to see a grid from Norway. WW2 interests me so Mannerheim from Finland was good. Patton a good red herring. Could have picked a WW2 tank instead of Leopard to complete a better set. LAST chance and LAST stand are more usual. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Lyndon @ #21200: You may as well as put your neighbours names in and ask us to pick them out - its supposed to be a test not a wild guess (5 years, 3 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #10115: The jury is out on Judy Garland. Tax evasion category very tenuous. Your/you're sloppy or does it reveal deep-seated grammatical insecurities ? (5 years, 3 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #10166: Easy but clever. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21161: Nice idea. Didn't feel enough of the artists group were actual things (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21169: Very Nicely done. Got the group's but couldn't guess the right 4th member of the Javert Group (5 years, 3 months ago)

Broken CLue Match @ #14978: Your clue is spelled heiroglyphs while the correct spelling is HIEROGLYPHs and so your table never matches a correct player response. Otherwise fine (5 years, 3 months ago)

flspark @ #21166: Nice grid - good x-overs :-) (5 years, 3 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #21159: Trying to recognise vowel swaps in authentic words is a really big ask, especially as they are also red herrings to the other groups. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Gaffer @ #17435: Excellent grid good spread. Can't believe I missed 'Dad's Army' think I'll go to bed!!! (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21161: Nice one...welcome to the club (5 years, 3 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #21165: Ooooooooh....not sure about the cinema group but a cunning grid all the same.... (5 years, 3 months ago)

Tikin @ #21155: Bit mean that 'doctors' doesn't count, nor did 'measurement' (5 years, 3 months ago)

jm @ #20601: Loved the grid, but the "Hamilton" connection is too limited of an acceptable answer. Since they were all in the musical because of an antecedent historical connection, something like "American revolutionaries" might be appropriate. Thanks for the good puzzle! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Sue @ #12804: Got them all correct but scored only 6?! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #21137: Damnably tough I thought. managed three of the connections when it resolved but got nowhere with solving the wall itself. A good grid non the less, though the death one is a little misleading. (5 years, 3 months ago)

neil lemon @ #21161: my first grid - hope it's okay! (5 years, 3 months ago)

fortesque-smyth @ #2744: too niche (5 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #21126: Missing final e group a bit weak. GoT getting a bit yawn-worthy, especially as not everyone into it. Agree Tolkein stuff a bit niche too, but is classic literature and most people heard of Bilbo and Frodo. (5 years, 3 months ago)

eggybum @ #21155: Enough with the palindromes please!! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #21151: Dammit. Wish you could edit these grids. Moderator! Please delete this grid - Bock should read Brock. Puzzgridding public! Forgive my typing skills! (5 years, 3 months ago)

christobal @ #21115: Good grid - no idea about the mincemeat group though. A sound bar is a long loudspeaker used to improve TV sound. Bass, mid and top speakers in one handy container. I recommend google.com if you have further questions, lindybeige! (5 years, 3 months ago)

christobal @ #21126: Good grid, though as someone who's never watched GoT, or been into LotR, I couldn't finish those 2 categories (5 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #21137: One grid to rule them all (5 years, 3 months ago)

ZBJ @ #21115: Nice one. (5 years, 3 months ago)

ZBJ @ #21124: Good one! Spent a while on the Golden Girls. (5 years, 3 months ago)

ZBJ @ #21125: Good but tough. Managed to sort out the groups with only very vague idea of the connections so that cheered me up. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #21119: I applaud the creativity in the Comic group, but unfortunately it seems obscure to me. Even after reading the explanations, I'd heard of only one of those. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #21121: It looks like "due" is the word for "dove" in Danish and Norwegian. I liked the penicillin group in particular. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Christobal @ #21121: Took me 53 seconds! But Dove in Hungarian and Due? Thats a wee bit niche. Is Due a language? (5 years, 3 months ago)

cb @ #21115: Get 5:1 Lindybeige (5 years, 3 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #21115: What is a 'sound bar'? (5 years, 3 months ago)

what is sports ball @ #15374: not a sports ball fan. *SIGH* (5 years, 3 months ago)

Christobal @ #21073: Tare is also the weight of an unladen shipping container or lorry. Bart, hin and pone.... not so much. Good grid. No need for the aggression though, Mickle (5 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20866: Don't sweat the descriptions, guys. Your points are not recorded and you know if you got it right. It is hard to cater for every eventuality, although "synonym" and "homophone" would help ! Good grid. 30 seconds! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20940: Yay! Did it in 40 seconds. "Synonyms" was accepted for me too! Good grid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

orlando @ #21110: Hard but fair. The clue is in the pseudonym. (5 years, 3 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21110: My favourite sort of grid! 10/10 at last! (5 years, 3 months ago)

RossChrisWisty @ #21086: Easy but good. (5 years, 3 months ago)

RossChrisWisty @ #21090: The reddish group should all begin with the animal. If 3 do, it's confusing. I was thinking what a rebe may be. (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #21109: Nice grid - clever red herrings. (5 years, 3 months ago)

squareeyes @ #21073: Tare means a weed, eg, separating the wheat from the tares (5 years, 3 months ago)

Adam Matthews @ #21094: Got the first 2 quickly. Bit of a guess on the other 2 and missed the connections - went for circuses! Obviously Pyrrhus didn't fit that. Wouldn't have got the Quadrophenia connection but at least its a reasonably well known film. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Adam Matthews @ #21096: I watch Netflix but have never heard of Tuca and Bertie. Too obscure? (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mickle @ #21073: Forget the apologies, teamawesome, tom. squareeyes.abc , complete and utter worthless third rate arseholes. Can I add sanctimonious (not that you illiterate twats would recognise the word without recourse to a dictionary) - pathetic sad individuals, I'd pity your partners but you won't have one.

ZBJ @ #21072: I thought that but there is quite a bit of academic debate about which Charles the Carolinas were originally named after, see John S Bassett's "The Naming of the Carolinas" in May 1894 edition of The Sewanee Review for example. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #21093: The earlier comment attributed to me was not submitted by me. Some arsehole is using my name to create crap grids and leave negative comments. Good grid. Enjoyed it. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mickle @ #21073: Apologies but didn't think bart, tare,hin,pone etc were actual words (5 years, 3 months ago)

Gridlington @ #21069: We read the comments AFTER doing the grid, Squareeyes! And it does tell you to check before submitting! (I did this myself and the grid was thankfully taken down, as we can't edit them.) The Manga one was too niche anyway! 😄 (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #21084: As someone who knows the area I Have to say I didn't get this one. The Hastings group stands out and if you get that you're immediately finished. I have no idea how the Carmen group.links with the rest of the grid, but even with my ignorance it's immediately guessable- as we are left with 4 locations, four names - one of which is the answer, and 4 random words.

Smolenskoy @ #21080: Two rows were easy but the Drs and Roald Dahl rows were impossibly difficult. Interested to know if any genius got 10 of 10 for this one. (5 years, 3 months ago)

ZBJ @ #21067: @neil - thanks. I only put that particular Reeves as an acceptable answer in case of confusion with Jim or Vic :) (5 years, 3 months ago)

ZBJ @ #21063: @spicy - only if the correct definition was "contains" rather than "begins with"; but if I'd noticed it I would definitely have chosen a different one so I take your point :) (5 years, 3 months ago)

Spicy @ #21063: Cowboy and beHIND could conceivably be switched. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Bendubz @ #20956: So annoyed at myself there. Got the sets completed with 7 seconds left, then completely blanked on the final connection because it didn't click in my brain Sun wasn't in that particular. Just the 7, instead of the full 10 I really should have achieved (5 years, 3 months ago)

Matt King @ #20928: Overly specific. Also, "Synonyms" not accepted for a group whose clue was "words that mean falling water". (5 years, 3 months ago)

jon @ #20933: (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #20912: Nice work. (5 years, 3 months ago)

birdbrain @ #20916: weight shd be accepted. character strengths? could be anything. benine lol (5 years, 3 months ago)

squareeyes @ #20934: Good grid but far too hard for me! I got waylaid into thinking Goscinny must be in there somewhere (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20928: A little specific perhaps? (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20930: One of those grids that make you go "Arghhhh" when you see the answers (in a nice way!) (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20933: Lovely grid. Stumped me on the "amphibious" connection! (5 years, 3 months ago)

birdbrain @ #20921: me too - 'tit'!! (5 years, 3 months ago)

squareeyes @ #20930: Well I found this one hard because of my unfamiliarity with 2 groups, though weirdly it did accept my guess of "fictional constellations" (5 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #20933: red herrings got me on this one (5 years, 3 months ago)

Zbj @ #20933: Excellent grid. I rated it hard because it Stumped me but I think others may have a better chance if they are familiar with a certain wizard. (5 years, 3 months ago)

persephone @ #20902: What was the definition for 'oliver' group? Got it correct, but was marked incorrect. (5 years, 3 months ago)

per @ #20908: (5 years, 3 months ago)

Pepe Silvia @ #20284: One of the connections only works if you have a specific accent (5 years, 3 months ago)

PobbleBonk @ #16102: We LOVE you JSilverman. Please come back from your retirement in the South of France to write more puzzles! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Adjudicator @ #20710: You spelled Tiercel WRONG both in the table and your explanation of the reason the group should be bound together. It is not TERCEL nor is it TECEL. Made it mostly impossible to solve (5 years, 3 months ago)

Rene @ #20920: Very easy (5 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #20903: Wow, not fun at all, far, far to specialised (5 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #20928: got the groups but the explanations a bit too obtuse - are you an engineer ? (5 years, 3 months ago)

Giggsy @ #15555: Not bad jellylegs. (5 years, 3 months ago)

bert @ #18399: wrong spelling of mussel !! (5 years, 3 months ago)

chris @ #20929: Right level of difficulty, good one (5 years, 3 months ago)

idel101 @ #20928: S&D ? (5 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #20920: Nice. "Conan" should probably be "O'Brien" to fit that group correctly. (5 years, 3 months ago)

JD @ #20927: Good one! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #20903: TOO TOO DIFFICULT. (5 years, 3 months ago)

DP @ #20921: always excellent (5 years, 3 months ago)

Zbj @ #20923: Very disappointed with this. Had a great idea mixing the pulp fiction characters with a president group that doesn’t exist and then adding in a few Ian McEwan novels with a Dutch place names red herring then it all went pear-shaped and have ended up with a grid that has an alternative solution (Hague and Roache are interchangeable). Sorry for wasting everyone’s time. I’ve rates it 1 star myself so it won’t show up on the default homepage. Now I’m going to go and end it all. Goodbye. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Christobal @ #20912: Nice grid! It couldn't be David Grey, as his name is spelt Gray. According to dictionary.com, either spelling is acceptable for the colour, though Grey is more prevalent in the UK, and Gray in the US. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #20921: Flaming auto correct, I meant teat . Damn it nearly did it again. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Mouse (D.P.) @ #20921: The other body part in multitasking is properly spelt test. (5 years, 3 months ago)

ernst blofeld-finger @ #12437: superb grid... well done. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Hawks @ #20910: Ash, Papaya, Pine and Dragon could also be red (5 years, 3 months ago)

neilb4god @ #20912: I'm being picky here but, if we're adding colours, wouldn't it have to be David Grey (and not Gray)? (5 years, 3 months ago)

neilb4god @ #20921: Spotted a different body part in Multitasking (5 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #20318: Hmmm. Not so sure (5 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #20268: amazed i got 2 (5 years, 3 months ago)

Matt King @ #20890: " Synonyms for house" not accepted, "signs" not accepted (fine, possibly non-specific), "Gentleman's magasines" not accepted (fine, misspelled) Took 38 seconds to find the groups. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Matt King @ #20912: 40 seconds, but the colours group was a nice touch. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Matt King @ #20916: I don't want to be that guy, but "Benine" is not a word. It's spelled "Benign". Aside from that your connections are way too specific for a Medium-ranked grid. Nice groups though. (5 years, 3 months ago)

EDJC @ #9384: The tennis one is a) obscure (cf bowling a snooker, where it's the main objective) and b) WRONG: By the same token of being 5-0 down in the first, you could be 2 sets and 5-0 down in the third. Therefore your answer would be 31 games in a row. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Veston Pance @ #20916: A good grid but the connections a bit narrow and tenuous in one case. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #20907: I am the real Aetees. This is me. The imposter below should stop pretending to be me (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20920: Some nice red herrings :-) (5 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #20921: with 2 seconds to spare. Good grid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20921: Nice grid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20916: I got every single connnection right and not a single one was accepted, do try to use more formulations for your connections. (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20918: Great connections, hard to get but make perfect sense once you see it. (5 years, 3 months ago)

H @ #20917: Don't give up though. I'm sure you will get better. (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20917: Bad spelling is confusing, as it ends up not being relevant. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Ragman @ #20917: Rubbish.....tenuous is one thing, but these are tortuous links- space? Regista? Very poor..... (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20908: Connections should be more generous, better defined. (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20912: Fun to do, nice connections. (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20914: The placenames group was a very tough connection to get. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Jeannie @ #20916: Answers too specific. Ounces etc are all measurements of weight, not just mass. Bravery group very difficult to describe! (5 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #20918: Enjoyed this. A rare 10 for me. Thanks. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #20912: Rather simple (5 years, 3 months ago)

edie b @ #20912: excellent fun (5 years, 3 months ago)

Smolenskoy @ #20908: Liked the topics but with 8 car manufacturers names in a single grid, It is almost impossible to solve the first part. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #20907: Just to be clear this one wasn't me. Not sure why someone (I assume just one person as I can't imagine multiple people doing it) posts grids in my name every so often. Odd really. (5 years, 3 months ago)

neilb4god @ #20907: What've you done with the real Aetees? (5 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20898: Good grid. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20901: Very clever gridding, well done! (5 years, 3 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20907: None of the keywords were accepted i.e. Planets, Beatles, Rainbow, Gospel. (5 years, 3 months ago)

VJ @ #20884: Great connections, not that hard to get, though. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #20885: Very nice. I am not familiar with the onion but got the rest. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #20901: Interesting, I couldn't form any groups but prmptly got all four themes after they were sorted. (5 years, 3 months ago)

CLoverdale @ #20901: What a good grid! Foxed me on two of the groups... (5 years, 3 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20901: Great - I actually got the whole thing! (5 years, 3 months ago)

CLoverdale @ #20900: Another good grid. I managed to find two groups, and three connections, but 'play' got the better of me! (5 years, 3 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20898: Got the 'Greens' and 'out of...' but the footballers defeated me - got them by accident! A good challenge. Thanks (5 years, 3 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20893: Cities of Nebraska was tough! Got the fish, though. (5 years, 3 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20868: I hate the anagrams groups, especially as here when they are anagrams of another four different things. Did not accept 'board' nor 'prize'. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Cloverdale @ #20894: I scored 5/10 I didn't have a clue about the 'Academy' list. But it was so easy when I saw the answer! Good grid. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Benedicto @ #20740: Writing "Exceptionally well done if you got this one" like you're so proud you came up with it is just beyond me. "Three letter man's name" is not specific enough to differentiate two otherwise identical groups. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Hawks @ #20880: Among other things, I convinced myself that there were black things (light, beard, puck) and brown things (muscovado, stone, Murphy). In the end, I got precisely 0 points, but enjoyed it, especially Lime Rick. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Dave @ #193: Bullshit. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Mo Lester @ #20878: What's a pickle? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Kranston Saliva @ #20878: I like salamanders and good puzzgrids. Unfortunately none of these boxes were ticked during this wall. Safe to say a 0.1/5 puzzgrid. Thanks for the rubbish time. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Harry Nutsack @ #20878: What's on TV? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Hawks @ #17270: Got the ass one!! (5 years, 4 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20867: good grid - but it's frustrating not to get the credit for knowing the category because I typed sailor instead of 'sailor'! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rustic @ #20864: UK/US difference is strong with this one. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20871: Great grid. Thanks. Good spread of groupings. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Hawks @ #17688: Roller coasters in Blackpool?Niche knowledge unless you're from the UK. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #231: In the answer, it is nice to point out what the connections are. I got 10/10, but I still don't know the connection between dice and 21. I thought dice were in the 6 category. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pendragon @ #15796: It didn't accept the red herring of armada as a fleet synonym (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20869: Yes the lower case gave the first group away! Good grid, though it didn't accept "walk" as an answer. (I've stopped worrying about that tho - the scores aren't recorded anywhere and I know I got it right! 😄) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #12652: 'Loaf' did not work, and for me fits better than 'bread'. (5 years, 4 months ago)

idel101 @ #20839: Great! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20866: Would be a good but very easy grid if the category descriptions were better. Should allow 'synonyms' for two of the categories. (5 years, 4 months ago)

H @ #20869: Worked it out quickly, but easily the best of the grids you put forward. Thanks. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Blinker @ #19221: Not a fan of groups with interchangeable members, white and bread can be switched, so the wall can require trial and error (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20827: good spread of subjects. (5 years, 4 months ago)

John @ #4547: You could not be more wrong Betty Blue. So negative (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20813: Solved it, but only got the "sun" connections. Oh dear! Felt so daft not to get the trenches one seeing as I'd spotted that Mariana was a red herring. (5 years, 4 months ago)

birdbrain @ #20816: Boo to not accepting colours Yay to accepting 'shit shows'! Redeemed (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gary O @ #20816: Colours should be accepted....the banana thing is unguessable! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #20816: didn't except Pop Groups which they all are and please don't get me stared on the colours (5 years, 4 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20823: I really liked this one - lighthouses would be tough for anyone outside (the north of?) Scotland, though! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20816: How the hell was I supposed to guess what the colours referred to? (5 years, 4 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20823: 6/10, more by luck than anything! Nice use of red herrings :-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Cloverdale @ #20822: 5/10 this time.... I should have thought about Gerry Anderson! As a stationery geek, I'm devastated to hear that Staples is now defunct... (5 years, 4 months ago)

LGG @ #20805: Pickle pushes it a bit :) (5 years, 4 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20805: The 'double' line was straightforward, but the rest ... only got the elements by elimination! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20816: Load of coloured snooker balls.... (5 years, 4 months ago)

Cloverdale @ #20821: Utterly defeated, too. I got none of the sets, but did work out three of the links (including the ABBA one!) (5 years, 4 months ago)

LGG @ #20816: Banana? Really? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #20804: Didn't understand the 4th group (5 years, 4 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20821: Ugh! Utterly defeated. I got the links for the last two sets, but that was all. Two out of ten. SECOND words of song titles? What kind of a sadist are you?? (One with excellent taste in music, clearly.) (5 years, 4 months ago)

luskentyre @ #20815: Very good... My excuse is that I'm stuffed with pizza and that has slowed down my cognitive processes. (5 years, 4 months ago)

jane@pow @ #20815: Scientific units - pfft.! Defeated me. I got the first two rows, though. Food and satirists! Kicking myself that I didn't get Turkey (or turkey). Nice one. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20813: Solved it, but never heard of the heroines! 😊 (5 years, 4 months ago)

me @ #20800: far too easy 31 secs to solve (5 years, 4 months ago)

msicism @ #12432: Speaking as a Yank, I get where you're going with the US/UK words category, but 'pavement' doesn't exactly fit (and 'tap' is iffy) because those are words in America. They just refer to different things. Whereas Cluedo and aubergine, as terms, don't really exist here. (Another example would be courgette. Or knickers.) So it's a great concept, but I suspect it only works one way. I would never have associated "pavement" with "aubergine." But maybe I'm just thick. Which is entirely possible. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20800: Loved this!! Senegal and Sweden almost stopped me solving the wall but I got there in the end. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20804: Nice grid. Agree with others' comments about the description needed for the grouping. Good first effort! Keep at it! (5 years, 4 months ago)

H @ #20811: Beat me. Good grid. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Hugh @ #583: Good fun! Easier than I thought it would be. (5 years, 4 months ago)

christobal @ #20800: Flags are too small to see properly. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Cloverdale @ #20811: Another good grid. We got 6/10 again! Even with the blue group in front of us, we didn't twig... D'oh! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Freda @ #20804: I still don't understand. What's a Game of Thrones? Is it like Poker? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Tbone @ #20804: Nice warmup grid before doing some harder ones. Would reiterate the below advice to include the link for each category, not just more details on the 4 items. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Cloverdale @ #20806: Great first grid!! We got the connections, but couldn't work out all of the groups. We scored 6/10, which isn't bad. Some nicely obscure terms and a couple of red herrings. We'd like to see some more grids. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #20747: Great grid. Kicking myself in places! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #20804: Not a bad first effort. Found this quite straightforward despite never watching GoT (guessed the link)- the animals don't really obscure anything because of the singular/ plural differences. But easy puzzles are not a disaster on a Sunday morning. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #20463: Just give yourself 10 points, it'a game! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20800: wtf (5 years, 4 months ago)

idel101 @ #20804: Apologies, its my first submission! They're all sigils from 'Game Of Thrones' (5 years, 4 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #20804: Thanks Freda, you took the words right out of my mouth! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Freda @ #20804: So what is the link for the kraken group? None of your descriptions mean anything to me . (5 years, 4 months ago)

barry @ #2748: enjoyed that (5 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #20798: not good (5 years, 4 months ago)

idel101 @ #4165: Billy/Billie group stands out a bit too much for me, needs a crossover (5 years, 4 months ago)

idel101 @ #20799: Gave the answer to the last group as 'Something to do with typewriters' and was given it! (5 years, 4 months ago)

idel @ #20799: (5 years, 4 months ago)

VJ @ #20797: Tough board (5 years, 4 months ago)

VJ @ #20798: Some tough connections. (5 years, 4 months ago)

VJ @ #20799: some tough groups, but great connections (5 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #20801: Same as Poohbear. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #20801: Clever grid but too specialist for me - the India Flag is a group I’d never have got. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Hal @ #20796: Don't bother. (5 years, 4 months ago)

tasty face @ #3712: Top work! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Spoilsport @ #20796: All very clever, but I'd rather see grids that are family friendly :-( (5 years, 4 months ago)

Cynic @ #15141: The word famous is used very loosely here - by which I mean it's twaddle. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #20797: Study and Siren don't really seem to be the same type of answer as the other two in that group. Ramp or Bully might have been better. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Keir @ #20799: I thought I was done, but at the last minute or so I managed to find the numbers group, got the R one and somehow connected the last group on an absolute gamble with no lives lost So yeah, this was a pretty good wall, though the Cambridgeshire one was hard, I don't know who was supposed to get that (5 years, 4 months ago)

Jime @ #20785: It's Chico time (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20795: Nice one Blinker.. (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20796: Excellent..misread the 'ell' and 'eel' twice and "blew it"! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20797: Grrrrrr! ;-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

DonkySchlong @ #20796: Ridiculous. Impossible to do a grid and jerk off in 3 minutes. (5 years, 4 months ago)

A @ #20785: Well done. Made sense unlike so many (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20796: Keep it clean. You wouldn't see that one on Only Connect. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bren @ #20789: little people should be correct for goblin, Imp, etc (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bren @ #20796: Absolutely stupid (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20799: Nice one! Like the red herrings! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #20795: Very good. (5 years, 4 months ago)

VJ @ #20790: Tough but good. (5 years, 4 months ago)

VJ @ #20795: This is great, but really tough, possibly harder than a medium. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Martin @ #20795: Yes, very well done (5 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #20706: Nice fun grid, enjoyed it (5 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #20795: Really liked this, thanks! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Boris @ #20785: What’s Cheeko (5 years, 4 months ago)

Boris @ #20789: Quite niche but good fun (5 years, 4 months ago)

Boris @ #20790: Water is too obscure - is misleading (5 years, 4 months ago)

MJ @ #20788: Synonyms! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cynic @ #20781: The striped racecar is pathetic - try to do proper clues or don't bother. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Micky two pies @ #20796: five stars. took me a few tries. (5 years, 4 months ago)

DH @ #20781: pure evil, well done (5 years, 4 months ago)

DH @ #20795: Nice. Appreciated the quotes around the word ironic :P (5 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #20777: Terrific grid. Proud to get 10/10. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rustic @ #20790: The inclusion of " - " as an answer sorta thumbs its nose at the format. Fun to solve, though. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #20795: I enjoyed this: good, fresh groups. (5 years, 4 months ago)

cynic @ #20365: Must try harder (5 years, 4 months ago)

cynic @ #20396: Marked down because of the Yam nonsense - it's a potato! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Blinker @ #20790: Enjoyed it, but I don't think Joys really works in its group (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20789: Brilliant. Loved this. (5 years, 4 months ago)

ADB @ #5021: It's an AEROPLANE not Airplane (UK v USA) (5 years, 4 months ago)

ADB @ #5760: Blind Dog? and adding an s to a word to make a new word is laziness as a grouping (5 years, 4 months ago)

ADB @ #1659: too obscure (5 years, 4 months ago)

ADB @ #2239: Author needs to get a life and out more (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20764: same seas joints (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20765: up also can you trump in poker? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20788: Good grid. Don't worry if it comes up with "incorrect". *You* know its right! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Phil b @ #20787: Any number of other things can connect the groups... tedious not tenuous (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20781: racecar!!! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20787: got all the right groups for completely wrong reasons! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20788: put same as GTC (5 years, 4 months ago)

innadired @ #3208: @oatcake eater: what disparaging nonsense! no crossovers? Vogue! Time! and it's not 16 proper nouns... (5 years, 4 months ago)

Martin @ #20793: It didn't accept Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, apart from that it was good (5 years, 4 months ago)

Larry. @ #20778: Good grid. I think you mean't Φ rather than Ф. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20712: Worked for me too. Your points aren't stored anywhere. *You* know if you got the answer right or not, even if it comes up with "incorrect". It's difficult to cater for every possibility, so if it says "incorrect" but really it's right, let it go! I'm guilty of complaining about this in the past, but really, It doesn't matter in the big scheme of things. And its free! (5 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #20741: edible tubers are vegetables (5 years, 4 months ago)

J @ #9875: "Water" should have been allowed for precipitation group (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20787: Oh, that was tough, but I should have done a bit better. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Konstantin @ #7218: Haven't uderstood it absolutely! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20788: Simple stuff, but well executed and neat. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20789: Good stuff! (5 years, 4 months ago)

neilb4god @ #20769: Nice grid, but did you know McKinley's had a name change? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #20781: @ Bloomy, a Pegasus crossing is for use by riders on horse back. Racecar did seem a stretch but otherwise very good. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #20782: Nice grid. Well done. (5 years, 4 months ago)

GTC @ #20788: Otherwise, great wall, though - liked the crossovers :) (5 years, 4 months ago)

GTC @ #20788: I used 'Fictional Lands' as the answer for the purple group and it was incorrect, and for the blue group you should probably accept 'synonyms'. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Lyndon @ #20787: very tenuous (5 years, 4 months ago)

Blinker @ #20777: Thanks! I might have got a bit carried away, definitely rushed in 3 minutes (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gracie @ #17281: I loved it (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gracie @ #18103: I really enjoyed that amazing puzzle, me and my daughter, Ruby, really liked it, it made her think and she managed to complete most of it and she is only 7 (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20789: Got it in the nick of time... (5 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #20703: Enjoyed this one - the matrix ones kept me guessing until the end! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #20708: Nice grid, fun to do (5 years, 4 months ago)

Poohbear @ #20788: Sorry - I put in lots of possible answers for that group including ‘ask’ and derivatives of some of the words in the group to try to cover all possible ways of saying that these were ways of looking for information. I didn’t think of ‘need answers’ - will try to do better next time (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pooh @ #20789: Clever grid with good cross-overs but too hard for me - I don’t have the specialist knowledge on aircraft manufacturers. I spent most of my time trying to find planes with Spitfire in the group which I suspect you meant me to! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20774: Excellent, let's just say that knowledge is required in all aspects of solving problems.. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #20787: I was pleased I select one group, sad I couldn't make then connection on the other three (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20777: Ouch, needed another 10 mins at least....'-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20781: Duh! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cynic @ #20678: As with others - the name grid is ridiculous - very poor (5 years, 4 months ago)

Vee @ #3: Connections for groups two, three and four were deemed incorrect as the purple answer box appeared as a dark red one so the answer was linked to those colour clues. Likewise the next one came up as turquoise etc (5 years, 4 months ago)

Vee @ #3: Connections for groups two, three and four were deemed incorrect as the purple answer box appeared as a dark red one so the answer was linked to those colour clues. Likewise the next one came up as turquoise etc (5 years, 4 months ago)

Vee @ #20788: A bit miffed that 'need answers' was counted as incorrect when one of the items was questioning, which was also the answer! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela @ #20396: It's actually a fish (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pooh @ #20787: Too tenuous for me (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20788: Lovely grid, not too hard, but I didn’t get that “ask” was probably the key word for the Inquiry/Examination group. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Giggsy @ #1737: Let me ask you this...do YOU use a shaving mug? Do you? I'm waiting. Let me know at P.O. Box suck-my-butt, USA, jellylegs! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20091: This could've been SO good, Jellylegs, until ya done F'd up by including the most irrelevant mf'er (Dustin Diamond, what???). Screech? Amateur porno?! WHAT?! xoxo, love u. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20588: Jk, bae. Nvm, hard day, y'know? :'0 (5 years, 4 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20588: Way to not ACE this puzz, jellylegs!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFEEEEEEE, ACE-hole? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20601: Respect the bell, jellylegs. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20711: On what planet is the MOON a planet? UR-ANUS?!!!!!?!??!?! Wow, Jellylegs, WOW. Orbit outta this world STAT. xoxo (5 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #20781: A striped racecar is, for me, too vague and arbitrary. Liked the misleading palindromes. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Victoria @ #20785: Misspelling Chico as Cheeko made this a lot more difficult. (5 years, 4 months ago)

barry @ #6140: loved it (5 years, 4 months ago)

barry @ #583: loved that (5 years, 4 months ago)

barry @ #2247: pretty good (5 years, 4 months ago)

barry @ #5042: too obscure (5 years, 4 months ago)

barry @ #5058: enjoyed that (5 years, 4 months ago)

H @ #20785: Thanks Aetees (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rustic @ #20785: Misspellings aside, it was an OK board, not especially hard to puzzle out. (5 years, 4 months ago)

VF @ #20774: Great grid (5 years, 4 months ago)

VF @ #20776: Great grid. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #20783: Very niche knowledge (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #20770: Love the collective nouns! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #20774: Some specialist knowledge needed (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #20777: Very cerebral! Loved it. I only knew one line and guessed one connection (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #20780: Sp line is clever (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #20782: Fun grid I like the trees (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #20781: What is a Pegasus crossing? Clever use of Palindromes (5 years, 4 months ago)

JER @ #20782: Great fun . (5 years, 4 months ago)

tom @ #15247: brad is a noun? what does it mean? (5 years, 4 months ago)

DH @ #20778: Had all the groups just ran out of time. Good grid (5 years, 4 months ago)

Harvey @ #1396: Ah this is a good one, very satisfying! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #20769: Nice to do. Thanks. (5 years, 4 months ago)

idel101 @ #20776: Great links and crossovers! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #20763: A nice grid. Not too tough. (5 years, 4 months ago)

adb @ #6765: Yes - WIndows 8 very much a stretch, as is 8MM - the SI symbol for millimeters is small m, capital M is Mega (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #14884: Missed the toilet, as usual. The trouble and strife's gonna have a cow. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #2096: Good stuff. In Only Connect Series 8 the salad dressings were on the wall. Team said they were salads, which Victoria disallowed. LOL. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #15871: Good stuff. Thank goodness the "tons" fell in my lap! (5 years, 4 months ago)

TENOMT @ #19755: last one why was alphabet refused? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #13910: 10by10, 4by4 (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #17307: Well constructed. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #56: Tough; scraped 2/10 :-{ (5 years, 4 months ago)

Hugh Jars @ #20765: The Fire... line could also be followed by 'up' (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20770: Brilliant grid. I was left with the collective nouns group and guessed based on Murder. Love the bloat of hippos! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20769: Well well, you learn something new everyday..good grid. (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20770: BBC Earth 8th Jan 2013 Episode 1...distinct mention by David re "tower of giraffes" during the fight scene, next? ;-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Micky two pies @ #6833: nice wordplay in that Presidents Jackson and Ford were attempted assassinations. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Martyn @ #20744: Heliotrope pinky purple (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pooh @ #20741: Nice grid :) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pooh @ #20727: Nice grid - liked the overlaps (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20770: A nice challenge, the Fire group I just about got, but the collective nouns group I failed. Those collective nouns are silly made-up words anyway that surely nobody ever really uses. When did you last hear David Attenborough describe a group of giraffes as a “tower”? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20769: Quite easy, but absolutely lovely! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Pooh @ #20745: Good grid but too hard for me! Thank you for giving detail on the answers - always helps! (5 years, 4 months ago)

cb @ #20764: Did accept seas and joints, no complaints...;-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #12437: Took a while to remember which car brand a phantom was - hadn’t heard of the others (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20758: Good grid, but not a hard one! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20760: Yep, nice n easy! 😄 (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20763: Good grid, although as Jeannie says, as soon as I saw racecar it gave the game away! We say "racing car" in the uk anyway. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20764: Likewise. Didn't accept sea or joint. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Christobal @ #20765: Hmm, it didn't accept "1st ladies" (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #17903: (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #7427: Too obscure (5 years, 4 months ago)

PB @ #20748: Groups are too vague, especially the homophones one (5 years, 4 months ago)

MJ @ #20764: Same as other comment - didn't accept sea or joint. Poor. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #8000: Wckd! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Annie @ #15139: Haha - very naughty! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Martin @ #20765: I got incorrect for using 'poker' (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #696: Excellent (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #56: Very clever and knowledgeable I learnt something! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #5344: Lots of red herrings Needs to accept synonyms as well as euphemism in answer (5 years, 4 months ago)

Jeannie @ #20763: Time to ditch racecar as palindrome, as it is too obvious! (5 years, 4 months ago)

a @ #20764: wouldn't accept "sea" or "joint" (5 years, 4 months ago)

BB @ #20687: In appreciation... There was a young bastard named Snow Who thought he could fly like a Crow He jumped from the Wall, The ground broke his fall, The Wildlings enjoyed his short show. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20747: Oops sorry, I didn't check the answers before I scored it. Although I got nothing at all, it's a pretty together grid (but too hard for me!). (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20748: Words that happen to be homophones isn't really a group, very tenuous - you could as easily have had Rabbit/Skyscraper/Shoe/Pimple on the grounds that they are all nouns. A nice distraction with the Isle of Wight's "Yarmouth", though, as it's obviously not as well known as the one in mainland Britain. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20763: Not allowing "water transport" for the red group was a bit harsh, IMHO. Nice crossovers for Herring and Dory, had me guessing right up to the wire! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Sid @ #20762: A lovely little grid :-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20762: Straightforward but enjoyable. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Jax @ #4582: (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #5743: 🤦🏽‍♀️ (5 years, 4 months ago)

Matt Finish @ #188: Actually both are valid. (5 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #188: Matt Finish? It's matte! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #2093: Boy line is tough (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #9067: Clever (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #7697: Sixteen is obscure (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #15026: Clever (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #12138: Good red herrings (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #15242: What is tamale? (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #12924: Good red herrings (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #8793: Missed the drinks (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #5977: Gave one star for quality as Juliet should be Juliett in that grouping. Victoria Coren would have a pup if she saw that! Pedantic, but accurate spelling is the foundation of this game. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #573: Love it! (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #8815: Great (5 years, 4 months ago)

Bloomy @ #1152: Great (5 years, 4 months ago)

Rob B @ #1498: I put monopoly playing pieces for iron / boat / train / roller (skate) ! No cigar LOL (5 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #20755: Good grid. (Only now am I realizing how strange it is that Ravenclaw's emblem was an eagle rather than a raven.) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #1531: Enjoyed this one. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #1530: Nice (5 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #1529: Very good. Enjoyed it. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Jade @ #881: Good Grid (5 years, 4 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20748: Did not accept 'king' nor 'saint'. My guess is that you typed in 'kings'and 'saints', and the system works better if you go for shorter words. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Deserter85 @ #20746: @Christobal: Didn’t know that. It looked similar to other optical discs so I just assumed it was. Glad it didn’t affect the quiz on overall. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Yao @ #20721: mary was not henry 8's eldest... she was the eldest child to survive to adulthood. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #1497: Two real problem groups here. Some of these 'homophones' are very shaky at best, and elsewhere in the English speaking world, not homophones at all. Secondly, being a non countable noun is not the same as a countable noun with an irregular (unchanging) plural. "Information", like, say, "Nationalism" just does not have a plural. It does not belong with the other three. Sorry. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #1495: Nice one. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Verr @ #1492: Have to be critical here, hated this grid. Racehorse names should be banned! TOH is a card game now? (5 years, 4 months ago)

jefco @ #20713: Good grid. Tip for those who get disappointed if their tips are not accepted; Don't bother! Just keep a mental note after you select the matching terms and check the answers and you will know if you were right or not. It's not a competition! Take some pressure of the grid creator and just enjoy it. (5 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #20736: Very good! (5 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #20737: Really good. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20728: I typed rivers and got "correct". It is sometimes tricky to cover all the possibilities when adding the answers, but one tip that is mentioned each time is to use short versions, so "comed" will cover both comedian and comedy. If H had put "river" instead of "rivers" it would have accepted both. Before complaining about the answers though, its worth creating a few grids of your own to see how tricky it is. I like to think that I cover all bases with my answers, but I still get complaints when a "correct" answer is marked wrong. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #20731: A nice grid, didn't do too well on it but easy to see that others would. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #20732: I answered 3 of the links correctly: Michael, cheese and writers but was marked incorrect (5 years, 4 months ago)

Aylesford 6th form @ #20732: You need to check what you accept as an answer. We gave the correct description for three of the four categories but were told we were incorrect :o( (5 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #20732: It's not a unique solution for this one. Morpurgo and Scott could be swapped. Good ideas though. :) (5 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #20325: Very good (5 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #20263: A perfect example of four wonderful groups (especially belfry) that don't work together. Nice chair and friends sticks out like a sore thumb, as do the first names. Which means the golf courses are rather wasted. (5 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #20507: Madness didn't work as a red herring, not being an adjective. The sl8me group didn't overlap enough with the rest of the grid. The men at work was too specific and the rest straightforward. Apart from that, good fun ;-) (5 years, 4 months ago)

GMS @ #20519: Callahan was Chancellor, Home Secretary and Prime minister, so could validly be in three groups. Brown was Chancellor and Prime Minister, unless you are talking about George Brown who was Foreign secretary, so this answer could validly be in three groups. It just means you have to guess, no real skill involved. (5 years, 4 months ago)

EDC @ #16564: chocolate is not junk food, maybe some brands u buy, but u can say that of almost anything. The chocolate (and to be honest, ice cream can also be fine) is why I wrote "treats" then switched to 'snacks' thinking 'treats' wd never sail. ''junk food' is simply not true. There's so much of it in America, surely u cd have found better examples.. (5 years, 4 months ago)

EDC @ #20289: got groups but answers all rejected. hmmm. I had "icing terms", "purple", "inclement weather" ....Sometimes I find the acceptable answers a bit too rigid & why i often just skip that step totally if i got all 4 grids. nice puzzle tho. (5 years, 4 months ago)

TimS @ #20468: Very clever grid. Not too Hard (5 years, 5 months ago)

bekitty @ #20463: It's not accepting the answers i gave, even though they are the correct ones. Also, it's Roosevelt, not Roosevel. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mcd @ #20456: Ok (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20325: People throw garters? I have never known this, and I've been to plenty of weddings. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Cool yeti @ #20463: Why doesn’t it accept democrat presidents of the USA? Or Republican president of the USA? Very odd....... (5 years, 5 months ago)

Christobal @ #20463: Good grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Bunny @ #20423: I believe the Queen, ING and Peugeot logos/emblems have always depicted a lion. However, UKIP was originally represented by a large "pound" symbol! Great grid, had me guessing!!!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

MarkPos @ #20392: HI @birdbrain No, it’s not spelt wrong! Juliet, Juliett and Juillet all appear in the grid, correctly spelled in their correct contexts (Romeo and ..., NATO alphabet, and French July). (5 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #20448: nice one - not too tricky (5 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #20463: wouldn't accept answers if not starting with a capital letter and for one set wouldn't accept Presidents of France - when the answer was French Preisdents ?? slightly annoying (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #15: Didn't like 'British rivers' which seemed a little mean. Parts of body too easy and Blue Peter pets a bit niche but fine for Brits my age. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Fran @ #6477: Genius!! Loved it!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #14: Didn't take 'synonyms' nor 'snow white'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #12: Didn't accept 'web sites'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #6: I got the 'fish' group, but the rest were tough/impossible. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Steve @ #20451: very satisfying sound effects! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20443: rubbish (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20442: Didn't accept 'fascist' nor 'communist' nor 'demagogue'. Only Mussolini was a fascist. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #77: 'Cocktail' was ruled incorrect. It had to be alcoholic? Very obscure Hitchcock films to pick. I'm a film buff and didn't them all. (5 years, 5 months ago)

TimS @ #20453: Somebody likes pressure groups Putting them in to groups was easy. naming the groups - Couldn't be arsed. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Martin @ #20442: Not sure Tojo was a fascist. Better with wartime leader or defeated war time leader (5 years, 5 months ago)

Bloo @ #20442: Didn't seem to accept "Communist" with the plural. I think populists was too vague an answer for that too (5 years, 5 months ago)

GTC @ #20442: Agree with VJ, Communist Leaders and Fascist Leaders should both be acceptable answers. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #5995: 'Up' also works for the set including 'Look'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ruth @ #20443: there are no categories and the ones I suggested (at least one of which was accurate) were all incorrect (5 years, 5 months ago)

TimS @ #20443: Where are the answers? (5 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #20423: Great grid, very challenging (5 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #20426: Excellent grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #183: Should accept "berry", although I'm pretty sure a tomato isn't one... (5 years, 5 months ago)

garth grey @ #20426: Enjoyed (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20442: Good connections but the solutions could be better defined. Fascist leaders should be accepted if the solution is fascists. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #12523: Got a 'correct' for typing 'wine' in a category about horse racing! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #20425: This was fun! I enjoyed all four groups. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #4613: 'Stations' not accepted, not 'fail'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Rustic @ #20442: A rather "liberal" interpretation and oversimplification of political stances, especially for Tojo and Trump. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Boff @ #20438: Very nice (5 years, 5 months ago)

Bobcat @ #4359: Didn't accept "debt" in the group about owing money. I am trying very hard to cope with this. Otherwise, an excellent grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20434: Agreed. (5 years, 5 months ago)

knife @ #20425: Good stuff; nicely red-herringed (5 years, 5 months ago)

chris @ #20426: good quality grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Qaz @ #5576: Good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20434: Very easy, but lots of fun! 😄 (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20426: good grid. solved it, but I've never heard of duck dynasty (5 years, 5 months ago)

YoutubeViewer @ #20434: I like this style of grid, not seen it before. I'm just too young for Reggie Perrin, got the others. Branching out into quizzing, Lloyd? (5 years, 5 months ago)

tony @ #4736: didnt like it (5 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #20431: You're right. A bit niche, but I got 'em. Great TV show. (5 years, 5 months ago)

innadired @ #92: didn't accept broadcasting for an answer. :( (5 years, 5 months ago)

Rustic @ #20425: Got it just under the wire, when I finally abandoned the thematic red herring. Nicely mad. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20422: I'm wondering what the connection between Only Connect and D Mitchell is... (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20405: I agree, it should have worked. I don't know how to edit the grid. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #20406: Both 'Irish' and 'Syrup' are used for wig. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #14630: The group including 'Bat' all read forwards as a well as backwards. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20386: Enjoyable. Thanks for posting. (5 years, 5 months ago)

birdbrain @ #20392: juliet spelt wrong. disappointing (5 years, 5 months ago)

me @ #8793: Programming of answer checking poor - drinks in name is same as alcoholic drinks in name. Happens often. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #2959: One of the categories has a different solution - if you put the first letter of each word at the end, it forms a new word. I think this is a better link than the one suggested. So Shark would become Harks, for example. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lindybeige @ #3454: Said 'gods' instead of 'planets'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jim @ #20401: Good groups, none of which I'd seen before. (5 years, 5 months ago)

gaffer @ #20414: specifically birds (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20414: Yes, Jime, I put "collective nouns" too, and got marked wrong... (5 years, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #20393: A puggle is not a baby animal, it's a cross between a pug and a beagle. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Fran @ #20026: Not good !!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Fran @ #20163: One of the best yet (5 years, 5 months ago)

JJ Style @ #20398: Nice one Dood (5 years, 5 months ago)

H @ #20406: stumped - though for wig it's known as a 'syrup', as in syrup of figs. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Genghis Kong @ #20385: ‘Foot’ can be swapped with ‘Free’ and still work. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Player @ #20405: “TV Sci-fi” really ought to have worked for the sc-fi group! Otherwise a good, and tough, grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20372: Prime ministers and heads of state are not usually the same thing, eg The Queen is our head of state. In most democratic countries this would be a president or constitutional monarch. Churchill group a bit obscure, and could equally have contained John Major. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jime @ #20414: I think you mean Tamworth (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jime @ #20414: Collective nouns is the technical term (5 years, 5 months ago)

lindy @ #20395: far too many actors who were in the same movies so way too many crossovers. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lloyd @ #1161: 'Clipper' works for the group with hair and nails in it, and 'box' works for tools, and television etc. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #20365: Synonyms wasn't accepted. You can't expect people to guess another synonymous word you choose. Also agree with the comments below about closed and close. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20365: The weather presenter is Tomasz, not Thomas. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #20364: Terrier was not accepted for the breeds of terrier group despite being the word linking the group. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20364: The Dad's Army character is Fraser. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lloyd @ #8793: For the category of 'begin', I wrote a reasonable description that was ruled as incorrect. (5 years, 5 months ago)

T @ #19432: Harry Potter too obscure (5 years, 5 months ago)

Humayra @ #12: This was super easy but we'll made and great for beginners. (5 years, 5 months ago)

T @ #19597: "emotion" didn't match "emotions" (5 years, 5 months ago)

T @ #19699: Not too keen on the airlines. Some used the whole name, some only part of a word. (5 years, 5 months ago)

T @ #19803: "Sargent" should be "Sergeant" which unfortunately rather ruins the grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

T @ #20101: "Clevelend" should be "Cleveland" (5 years, 5 months ago)

T @ #20334: The second answer should also accept PC (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lloyd @ #20368: I was given 'correct' to some very vague guesses at the connections. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lloyd @ #20393: The connection for the word 'contest' was unreasonable. (5 years, 5 months ago)

MarkPos @ #20390: @knife Many thanks for your comments. I know it’s not a great puzzle! I just wanted to see if I could make a grid containing only numbers. (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #2107: Is "Stout" referring to Tom Snout? (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #2045: what? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Dood @ #20400: ARGH! Spelling error noticed after submission - CATATONIA. Sorry :-( (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #2001: what's a watch clock? (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #2005: sponsors category was a weird (5 years, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #20360: Very good. Though I've seen "that piece of work", I didn't remember the "details" (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ketz @ #20392: Good grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Dood @ #13794: I got a point for guessing 'Ben Elton' as the group containing 'Turd on the Run' and got it correct (NO IDEA HOW!) (5 years, 5 months ago)

knife @ #20390: Hard indeed, but I'm afraid I didn't find it very interesting. The best grids are both. Here the possible links are so numerous that I was basically reduced to guessing (unsuccessfully!) (5 years, 5 months ago)

knife @ #20396: Simple and pleasant enough, but I also stumbled at the yam claiming to be a fruit (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #20367: Didnt get "hill" because too UK but it was a fun grid to do. (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #20365: The synonyms category wasn't really synonyms. Too many mistakes in this one. (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #20372: "heads of state" marked as incorrect? it's weird that some have first name and some don't -- made it easier to spot some but also the UK themed stuff was too tough (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #20392: that was really fun (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #20393: Pretty easy but nice. (5 years, 5 months ago)

your mother @ #20396: Polyamides supposed to be yam? It's a vegetable. (5 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #182: Should accept "birthday". (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20392: Fun to do, not very hard. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jf @ #20386: Very nice, one hard one in each group apart from cats and nice overlaps (5 years, 5 months ago)

dleung @ #20388: Beach should be spelled "Beech" (5 years, 5 months ago)

MarkPos @ #20390: I have tried to make the hardest grid that I can think of! I have no idea if it is actually possible to solve it or not. Please let me know how you get on by leaving a comment. Thanks! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Richard @ #20372: Your explanation for the Green group was that they where all Chancellors of the Exchequer. It should read were, not where. I was disappointed to be marked incorrect for stating that the purple group were Prime Ministers. Likewise, when I guessed that the red group were foreign heads of state. That was marked incorrect and I should have said they are leaders of world countries. For heaven's sake. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Vix @ #7712: Could not get the German one! The rest were easy. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Vix @ #204: Good but not a challenge. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Vix @ #683: Good but dime and are far too similar to be in the same category, especially with quarter as a red herring. They’re all American coins. Should have used more coins from different countries. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Vix @ #566: Loved this. Got 3 rows before the time ran out but managed all the connections. Thank goodness there weren’t any red herrings (that I could see’. (5 years, 5 months ago)

MK @ #20181: Clever theme but I'm not sure how I feel about combining two word answers with one word answers in the same category. @Quizzer, Tresemme is a shampoo brand. Oo la la. (5 years, 5 months ago)

MK @ #20365: The synonym group doesn't really seem like synonyms. (5 years, 5 months ago)

cb @ #20365: Close, but no cigar. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Peter Long Pubes @ #1942: Thanks brother Reg (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20177: Not bad, jellylegs! Keep it up. Believe in yourself. Shoot for the stars. Don't let your dreams be dreams. Keep on puzzin. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20284: Do you do yoga? Because the country one is a stretch, jellylegs. JK, luv u ted (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20359: Crikey, too Australian, mate. ;) (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20373: GORL POWERRRRR. Jellylegs. KISSS KISSSS xoxoxoXoxoxXxxxxooOoxoxoxo (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20375: I'll give YOU another 'F' word, jellylegs! It's...fun. This was fun :') (5 years, 5 months ago)

Vix @ #4165: The medal row was awful! (5 years, 5 months ago)

gsopp @ #2914: sun still not a planet (5 years, 5 months ago)

Glen @ #20341: (5 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #75: Last section could be 'followed by up' also (5 years, 5 months ago)

JD @ #20370: Far too simple, less than 20 seconds to complete. Barely any red herrings. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jingo @ #17789: Good Grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

brett orr @ #15524: not to my taste (5 years, 5 months ago)

J @ #20370: Good but wouldn't accept my answer of "UK countries regions capitals or seat of government". Seems like that was the more obvious answer than just simply british cities. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20368: Nice grid. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Justin Thyme @ #20336: Excellent (5 years, 5 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #20344: Very clever and well constructed. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Hank R Chief @ #20364: Easy but fun. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20359: Bonza! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #20368: Great fun! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #20368: great good (5 years, 5 months ago)

Liam @ #5633: Really very enjoyable! Great work (5 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #20230: Apes are primates but that is not an accepted answer. (5 years, 5 months ago)

gaffer @ #18175: take away t for rap, rain, ale and ruck!?!? (5 years, 5 months ago)

knife @ #20333: Neat grid; agree with christobal about valid links - these should be as comprehensive as possible (5 years, 5 months ago)

grumpy @ #6833: Hidden relative seems acceptable to me. (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20326: Good grid. Got it right plus 3 of the groups! (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20333: Well I enjoyed the grid, but I got marked wrong for saying Cleese, AND for saying Springsteen. And I was marked right for just saying aircraft (didn't mention Falklands). The answers need to be more carefully applied. Eg the only important bit about the John Cleese films answer is the word cleese. That should be by itself with a comma after it, as the only required word. But the grid was good! (5 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #20360: Lovely. (5 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #20344: The Flora group is *really* hard. You need to know the specialized subject matter (which I do) but also recognize it when all four are presented as synonyms. Kudos to anyone who got it legitimately. (5 years, 5 months ago)

britishnerd @ #20361: Hope you enjoyed the grid. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #20336: Give yourself a pat on the back, excellent gridding. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Zuri @ #20345: Wines should be grapes. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Davros @ #19811: Good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

HPDL @ #20345: Please accept 'grapes' as grouping (5 years, 5 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #20359: Didn't except Professors from harry Potter, I think they all are (5 years, 5 months ago)

QuizGuy @ #20341: Excellent grid. Challenging but fair. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ruth @ #20359: (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #20347: Good (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ketz @ #20359: Great grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #20358: didn't except Man Ant, beetle,- animals ????????? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Zuri @ #6833: Good, but needs to accept relatives for line 4 (5 years, 5 months ago)

Zuri @ #20315: First line is inconsistent, put word at beginning OR end, not both. Used "Si" twice in line two - would have been better to use 4 different words. Rest fine. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Andrew @ #5483: Nice groups, but poor descriptions (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20345: Fun but really easy. (5 years, 5 months ago)

tom @ #2888: what is underwood? (5 years, 5 months ago)

msicism @ #20329: It’s a mostly British expression meaning a trifle, no big deal. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Joe M @ #583: VCR controls etc. - should accept "Playback controls" as that is the generic term encompassing all players. (5 years, 5 months ago)

bekitty @ #13053: Awwww. That's a sweet grid. Well done. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #20203: I thought it was wings not willings! (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20341: Yeah, tough. Good red herrings with Joey and Chandler! (5 years, 5 months ago)

boo-urns @ #20148: is "cold cheeks" a thing? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Whiskerton @ #20316: The brewing categories are so-so. Strictly speaking, unmalted barley will NOT produce beer...all grains must be malted. So "malt whiskey" is basically all whiskies. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20335: Traditional Cornish pasty NOT made with mince. Made with cubed chuck steak as per my Cornish grandmother!! You're thinking of Ginsters mass produced!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

boo-urns @ #20319: wot 'e said (5 years, 5 months ago)

Garu @ #20341: Tough but very good. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #20328: (5 years, 5 months ago)

christobal @ #20344: Not strictly kings at the nativity. They were Magi or wise men. I think it's only in the song "We three kings" that they are so called. Otherwise, enjoyable grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #20333: (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #20334: Agree with Sarah (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #20341: Too tough for me but very good (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #20345: No crossovers so very simple. But I only got the last set by default because I don't speak Spanish!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

dae @ #20326: nice one (5 years, 5 months ago)

ArchibaldL @ #20309: Oops - wasn't thinking. There were of course homophones. (5 years, 5 months ago)

ffd @ #20326: whoever completes this quiz is cursed (5 years, 5 months ago)

Dai @ #20335: Should have had full marks as Addams family is spelt with a double d and not Adams as#20335 incorrectly supplied. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Sarah @ #20333: (5 years, 5 months ago)

Sarah @ #20334: Ideal for under 13s (5 years, 5 months ago)

Josh @ #20345: Good (5 years, 5 months ago)

Kathy Cunniam @ #20330: Had no idea how to work this out and what the links were without some kind of clue. Maybe a visual example would help? What's the rabbit all about by the way? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ellie @ #20330: Far too 'difficult' for me! Puzzles aren't my thing - sorry! Although some instructions may have been helpful. (5 years, 5 months ago)

GTC @ #20326: Really good idea for a grid. Top marks! (5 years, 5 months ago)

GTC @ #20335: Agree with OoohBaby - Also, the group for the purple answers is spelled incorrectly. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20336: Very nice (5 years, 5 months ago)

fil @ #12591: describes non standard parts, e.g. a motorcycle can be fitted with an aftermarket exhaust to make it sound faster. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #20336: Simple and relatively easy but elegant and well worked out. Excellent gridding. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Warwick @ #20332: (5 years, 5 months ago)

Warwick @ #20341: (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #20309: Nicely put together (5 years, 5 months ago)

OoohBobby @ #20335: Poor at recognising groups. Addams is spelled incorrectly and Discworld not accepted for the Pratchett group. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Kevin @ #20310: Lake Superior is larger than Lake Michigan (5 years, 5 months ago)

Quizzer @ #20329: What is "small beer"? (5 years, 5 months ago)

bekitty @ #3454: I said "named after places" and got marked wrong. :-/ (5 years, 5 months ago)

dunDunDun @ #20102: A CLIFF is *not* a "part of a river" -- just wrong (5 years, 5 months ago)

fil @ #8387: sweet (5 years, 5 months ago)

msicism @ #5451: I have to admit, this made me laugh. (5 years, 5 months ago)

fil @ #184: "old": dog; battleship; iron; boot ? (5 years, 5 months ago)

msicism @ #20319: Nice grid! But the singer Robyn spells her name with a Y. (5 years, 5 months ago)

bristolstoolchart @ #20325: enjoy! (5 years, 5 months ago)

knife @ #20316: Excellent. Very clever. I love Blackadder, so I'm kicking myself for not seeing the link (5 years, 5 months ago)

great genius @ #20318: the Picasso category is way too esoteric (5 years, 5 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #20313: So many red herrings! Thought I was right twice, but proved wrong. Not a good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #20267: I feel smarter for having done that one (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #6140: Great ideas, fun to to. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pak @ #20275: Nice Grid. Thanks. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Fran @ #20308: I agree with vj (5 years, 5 months ago)

BinDipper @ #20315: Thanks for the grid TM. Enjoyed it with one criticism (hopefully constructive) - the vape group doesn't really work because you have one different from the rest. Generally, I don't think that's a done thing on these grids - certainly isn't on the TV version. (5 years, 5 months ago)

jeannie @ #20313: Always disappointed with grids where the answer is too specific. I put Circle, and Bags, and both were rejected (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20316: Everything seemed really easy except for the last group, great connection. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Christobal @ #16774: Good grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Christobal @ #20313: Hmm, not keen on this one. In the Line one, "line" comes after Circle not before it. And you don't specify what the Skynet one is - I put computers but it was rejected. What is the "group" keyword? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20159: Listen up, "Bob" -- if that's your real name. Let me give you a list of things you can suck. 1. My jelly legs 2. Dis grid Mess with DeeDeeRex again and you're toast, buddy! Sincerely, Mr. Steal Your Grid. ;) (5 years, 5 months ago)

Giggsy @ #20180: Clever board, brie. ;') But "album" should count, jellylegs! >:( (5 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #20307: Thanks for the effort you put to your grids - I was impressed by the well entered linking terms, etc. I think in general people want this to be a relatively non-adult environment so I have had to remove these grids. I'm sorry if this is frustrating to the submitter. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Kuli @ #20309: Nice grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Christobal @ #20309: Well, I completed it but I was marked incorrect for saying "homophones", which strictly speaking is what they are. I think homonyms are spelt the same too. Otherwise, good grid! (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20087: Fun to do, guessed the right connections but could not select the right ones. (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20309: Nice to find a doable one. (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20308: Fun but some connections in the last group are very far fetched. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20310: Damn (5 years, 5 months ago)

Quizzer @ #20310: I think you spelled Virginia wrong. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #14630: Very enjoyable grid. Bra category defeated me but got it by default. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #20308: Outstanding job on the May category (5 years, 5 months ago)

ArchibaldL @ #20304: The atomic number grouping is a little too obscure for my taste (5 years, 5 months ago)

ArchibaldL @ #20308: Got the groups but didn't get the May connection. Very good. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20297: Not too hard. I enjoyed it. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ya Nan @ #13892: Pretty easy but I enjoyed it. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Christobal @ #1960: Very easy, although it didn't accept "street" as an answer. Use the shortest possible keywords as it says in the instructions. e.g. "comed," will allow "comedian" and "comedy". Nice to get one completely correct for a change! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Woo @ #13527: Didnt allow PMs partners as an answer or peninsular (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20288: Insignia should be accepted as the descriptor for the group it isn't in. Also a pitch doesn't have wings. Weak. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20288: OssieP9, a football pitch! 😄 Insignia is the overlap/red herring. It does mean badge, emblem, etc, but it's also a Vauxhall model. (5 years, 5 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #20288: Gaffer...but none of badge, emblem, symbol or crest are Vauxhall cars...although Crest was only one letter away! (5 years, 5 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #20288: I'm probably going to be embarrassed when I get the answer but Pitch...wings???? (5 years, 5 months ago)

gaffer @ #17490: agree about ballot. think they mean Poo Bear (5 years, 5 months ago)

msicism @ #20284: I think the confusion is that "rusher" and "Russia" are not homonyms for Americans. But you know, that's tough! Gotta think on your toes. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jime @ #5480: Managed it with 1:15 to spare (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20275: Nice grid. Not too easy, but I got there in the end! (5 years, 5 months ago)

nerd @ #20284: Per Merriam-Webster, a homophone is "one of two or more words pronounced alike but different in meaning or derivation or spelling". Is that "not strictly" an accurate definition? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Quiptic @ #20275: Thanks for feedback. "They had an argument on the subject of who used the last of the milk", "They had an argument over who used the last of the milk" - I think it works. Yeah, sorry - I meant 1984. I will try harder with the explanations next time - I missed out the ones I thought were obvious but I guess they weren't to everyone. Apologies to Ms Larry.

U @ #683: Too many red herrings for my taste. It's a waste of time to when there's 5 coins and you have to pick four, it's annoying to have to process of elimination the one it wants. And this puzzle makes you do it like 4 times (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20266: No comment. Except that the union flag group are all island nations, would you say? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20267: Well we didn't get it, but it was good. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20274: Not bad. Ms Larry enjoyed it because it gave her a chance to do a Tina Turner impression. I thought of the Dutch gabber festival. We do not watch Game of Thrones. Perhaps include a character from The Good Wife instead. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20275: Well I enjoyed this, although Ms Larry was somewhat perturbed by the 'over' category. As a 'cognitive linguist' the many meanings of over is something I think about every day. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20277: good grid. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Quizy Rasca @ #20258: Spoiler Apologies, I got one of the clues wrong, the group is "can be preceded by" but one of the clues actually precedes the answer. Sorry (5 years, 5 months ago)

Fursti Ottómanna @ #20257: Gæti verið verra (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #17280: I think grids for kids is a great idea and people can ignore the easy levels if it's on the public platform. I do think a couple of overlaps would be good to get the kids (AND the adults) thinking a bit more. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #17281: If it's for kids then its OK but still needs a couple of overlaps (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #17487: Really cute grid. Some nice overlaps too. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Ruth @ #20237: cell division is a better answer than DNA yet was wrong and you need to look at your spelling (5 years, 5 months ago)

JP @ #20219: Great grid, enjoyed it. The animal group seems a bit random and not connected to the rest of the grid, but otherwise great! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #17624: Some good overlaps. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #17905: ditto about 'writing'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #17922: Just too easy. If you didn't have the possibility of other seas there would be no overlaps. And definite one L in elated (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #18103: Actually thought it was very clever! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #18423: Certainly no overlaps and too much description made it way too easy. e.g. 'Mount' Fuji, leave out the Mount. Don't bother to put 'Prize' and 'awards' and probably leave out the surnames of the Bond characters. Would just have made it a little bit more challenging. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #18479: Ditto about 'mount' and 'nut'. Quite enjoyable though. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #19094: Too wordy and not really applicable (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #19798: Would say it's pretty Infantile & Adolescent!! And 'lonely' is completely the wrong part of speech (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #20105: Actually the blue set can be 'followed' by bus, not preceded. But some good overlaps. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #14323: pantomime not allowed. Blame the site for not allowing singular terms. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pipbit @ #14418: wind instruments was not allowed although 'instrument' without the 's' was the answer (5 years, 5 months ago)

Neddy Seagoon @ #20162: Pinafore is more properly called HMS Pinafore and is technically an operetta and, if you're gonna be really picky, Oliver! has an exclamation mark. I know that's being quite pedantic but if it were Only Connect, they would definitely observe those niceties. P.S. That's not meant in as priggish a way as it reads, sorry. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20213: A bit too niche for me, too (5 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #20188: @Neddy Seagoon https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/demiquaver It's a synonym for semiquaver, which is admittedly more common (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20214: Quite easy grid, although the spelling mistakes made it a bit trickier. Juliet only has one T. And whisky is normally without the E. Good varied groups though, and plenty of red herrings in the Zulu group! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Neddy Seagoon @ #20188: There's no such thing as a demiquaver, however there's a semiquaver and a demisemiquaver so if you put semiquaver instead the connection would work. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #20213: Neither is Severn / seven (5 years, 5 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #20214: A challenging grid. I nearly gave up with the cigarettes line, but got it and the others in the end. (5 years, 5 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #20206: Very easy. Completed it in record time for me. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Jime @ #20214: Shame about the typo. It put me off going for that group (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #16774: good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #16791: One of the better grids (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #16855: categories far too vague in places - wild animal yes but 'filthy'? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #16928: Oops just realised it's not mouse! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #16928: Hmmm good idea but not sure about some of these (is mousse really a homophone for mouse?) and as others have said free! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Susie @ #8441: Got them all, but only made one connection, sneaky one! Good fun. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Susie @ #2296: Full marks, good puzzle (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry @ #20205: Hi Larry... I'm Larry too! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry @ #20206: bloomin' easy, but well made nonetheless (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gaffer @ #20206: Good grid. Taxing but not too niche. No potter, game of thrones etc. (5 years, 5 months ago)

aldo @ #20189: Hard grid. Defense with an S not a C threw me, I thought it would be a British set quiz going by the union flag next to the setters name (5 years, 5 months ago)

aldo @ #20190: Good (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry @ #20185: some good grids here nowadays - this though was not one of them, sorry. (5 years, 5 months ago)

aldo @ #20201: I put snack food instead of crisps as they are not crisps in the accepted sense (not just potato). Wrong again!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

aldo @ #20205: I thought Christine was a John Carpenter film based on a Stephen King story. So only 9 points for me again! (5 years, 5 months ago)

aldo @ #20206: I put duplicate and it was wrong. Why? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20202: Poor show. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Larry. @ #20205: Words which appear in a Red Bull slogan. It's a category, but is it a good one? (5 years, 5 months ago)

H @ #20206: Good grid - the coffin ******* is what we call one of our local pubs (5 years, 5 months ago)

succinyl @ #20205: I got all the groups. It's okay but the Red Bull one is a bit silly, it's not really a category as such. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20202: No connections stated. Poor. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20206: Really liked this. Nice variety of topics. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20205: This is exactly the same as #20203 but that is more accurately rated as medium. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20194: I agree - the actresses is a weak link. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gridlington @ #20193: Yes the RPDR one was a bit "niche", and doesn't seem to have crossovers with other groups. I got it right because i thought they were all Bond girls! 😄 (5 years, 5 months ago)

TimS @ #20191: Fairly easy / enjoyable grid. Just wondering if Man can tell us where he thinks Hull is. (5 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #20194: Far too much ambiguity with British actors' first names (5 years, 5 months ago)

Janos @ #14681: A little difficult to interpret in English :D (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #20120: Good one (5 years, 5 months ago)

mrs ogham @ #20193: Good, but quite difficult! Got three of the groups but not seen RPDR. I'm guessing some of the colours are a cross over with that group, if so, maybe have one of them in the RPDR group. If not, should have replaced RPDR with another group with crossover (5 years, 5 months ago)

mrs ogham @ #20203: Liked the SK and SATC groups. I got it but I'm not a fan of the RB group - especially since "it" and "you" are very common words. Also it's kind of an advert, no? (5 years, 5 months ago)

mrs ogham @ #20195: Good but very tough! I got the different definitions of "house" and the HP group but not the other def group and only saw the word one at last minute (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #20159: Good grid, ignore Bob he's just a rude ignorant person. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #20194: british actresses too difficult (5 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20195: Links just don't work. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #17174: Think a bit more detail about some answers might be a good idea - had to look up that Katrina was a cat 5 for example. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #20175: Not bad, nice grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #20184: Enjoyed this one and learnt something - Chris, it does - think as in de-gas - though it's a bit iffy. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #20191: Good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #19828: But I put 'all types of boot' which you would think would be accepted - it's just how it works, sorry. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #19828: Well they are generally known as boots Omegaman - would change it if I could. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mickle @ #19829: Correct Wombat, but that isn't the solution - it's that it can be preceded by an 's' (5 years, 5 months ago)

Cynic @ #19810: There's a colour known as coral blue Matt (5 years, 5 months ago)

Cynic @ #17227: The South African flag was just silly - it might as well have been the colours of the pens in my top pocket. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Cynic @ #17240: marked down for 'tire' spelling (5 years, 5 months ago)

Cynic @ #17244: Think 'well known' is pushing it a bit for the songs - virtually unknown would be my phrase of choice. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Susie @ #3188: Good grid, I was bad! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20191: Like this one. Interesting range of clues. (5 years, 5 months ago)

DH @ #20185: cheers for this (5 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #20185: Very good. I could see the basic concept, but actually finding the groups was tricky. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Cynic @ #17376: Good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

J&a @ #20185: very good. We failed to think of wedge being a golf club in time and dove the soap bar is v hard (5 years, 5 months ago)

Hak @ #20173: Good grid (5 years, 5 months ago)

Tony @ #583: Nice one (5 years, 5 months ago)

ilovepuzzgrid @ #20182: 1. Alan Partridge is not a comedy actor or stand up comedian. He is a character played by the actor Steve Coogan. So that group doesn't work. 2. The element is spelled arsenic, not arsonic. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #20101: Bit of a gimmick, but fun. Working out the Proclaimers clue was amusing. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #20070: Maybe having two "words that can follow another word" groups is a bit of a cheat? Good grid though. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #20105: Relatively easy but a good one. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Pete @ #20110: I actually got this with a minute and a half to spare but there are several valid ways the items could sort into those groups. There should be a unique answer, not several possible answers of which one is arbitrarily chosen to be the right one. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #20160: Nicely put together. And very easy despite the herrings. That's fine if that's how the grid works best. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Verr @ #969: Exclusively british. Shame really, the other groups were good. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Verr @ #966: Waaay too obscure for me (5 years, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #10477: floors and flaws are not at all similar - very odd choice when there are so many words that do sound alike which are spelt differently. flaws for floors sounds a bit rah rah to me!! (5 years, 5 months ago)

Verr @ #951: Enjoyed this one (5 years, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #10495: don't agree with some of the answers (5 years, 5 months ago)

Verr @ #936: Dated, now arcane. Also one group of "slang" so obscure that the only one I recognised was the one that is not actually slang. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Verr @ #929: Pirates keywords still not fixed (5 years, 5 months ago)

cazza @ #10522: good (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #20174: That's not how you spell sugar in Welsh - it's siwgr. (5 years, 5 months ago)

boo-urns 2 @ #20112: I agree with boo-urns. (5 years, 5 months ago)

boo-urns @ #20156: Octagon spelled wrong, and what the heck is a crackjob? (5 years, 5 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15013: Good grid with mix of topics. Enjoyed it. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Hugh Jars @ #20155: An upside down exclamation mark is an i - I think you meant an exclamation mark. Classic example of McKean's law there. (5 years, 5 months ago)

GTC @ #196: Should accept mononyms for the green group. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #20172: Generally I like to post grids that are general knowledge but this one is definitely heavy on 'nerd culture' topics. It won't be for everyone but I need to get it out of my system every once in a while. I hope at least some people will enjoy it. (5 years, 5 months ago)

garth grey @ #20163: black bag = bin liner (also Viz character - Black Bag - the faithful Border Binliner) (5 years, 5 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #20160: Fun grid, thank you. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #20159: tee hee (5 years, 5 months ago)

DeeDeeRex @ #20159: @Bob Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure if you know how the puzzle submissions here work, but as the creator, I have to list as many synonyms that I can think of so that when quizzers submit their answers, they might be matched. In this case, each of the connected words was a synonym of 'to steal' in verb form, so I listed as many verb synonyms as possible. 'Theft' is a noun (although I did include 'thieve', as it's verb), and I'm sure if I were Victoria and you were able to explain your answer in person it would have made sense, but this is just a silly algorithm-based game online. I'll try to do better in the future. Best of luck. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #20167: I am reporting this grid to the moderators! 🤗 (5 years, 5 months ago)

Bob @ #20159: Theft is stealing Go buy a dictionary (5 years, 5 months ago)

cb @ #20160: I agree with Spengler... (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #6020: Yep, also got roulette and rainbow... beaten by the others ...liked this though, pleased to see such an imaginitive (and tough) grid getting a good reception (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #17317: Exactly what CM said - also scored 2 (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #20163: 5 stars for quality!! garanams picked were brilliant (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lucas @ #20141: @gaffer I submitted "synonyms" and it worked. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lucas @ #20156: Nice ideas, but rather poor execution when it came to which answers were considered acceptable. Please look up the word 'synonym'. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Lucas @ #20159: Very well constructed. I appreciate anagram links. Thanks! (5 years, 5 months ago)

GTC @ #45: Should accept 'related to sound' for the Timbres group. (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20126: Only accepting the exact wording for a connection is an easy way of making a group more difficult. But I did like the blue group. (5 years, 5 months ago)

VJ @ #20130: Good ideas, but give more connection options to get solutions accepted. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #20156: haha ... aggressive puzzgriddling you're really scary. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #20110: Both April and June are girls names e.g. Whitfield (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gunner @ #20155: Wishing more grids were like this one. Only put in "musicians" for the second one but it was accepted. Nice to see some gridders actually thinking about the different ways players will phrase their connection and not egotistically sticking to the connection they (the submitter) have in their head. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Gunner @ #20156: Rubbish wall. >Won't accept "E" as connection for the first one. Put some effort in specifying the connections other people will type in, you numbskull. > It's OctAgon, not "Octogon." Learn what you're talking about before you talk about it. Prick. (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #20152: waltzed it till the Ching gang nice (5 years, 5 months ago)

Spengler @ #20154: YES awesome grid! proud to score 6 (2 groupings, 4 correct answers!) Love a bit of K.rock me & JJ (5 years, 5 months ago)

Tbone @ #20150: Zebra group is an absolute joke. Rim group I'd disagree with some of those answers. Overall I didn't have fun playing this grid. (5 years, 5 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19313: I did better than I thought I would with this very difficult puzzle.I wasn't sure that Dirac had won the Nobel prize, but I knew that Curie and Bohr had, so it was simple after that.

ArchibaldL @ #20007: Hard out? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Han @ #20018: Good mix and red herrings (5 years, 6 months ago)

ArchibaldL @ #20014: Blanche? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Hugo Baws @ #20014: Same here Aardvark, got it with 4 seconds to spare and fluked the connections as well. Got 10/10 but had to work for it, great grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aardvark @ #20014: Good grid - I stared at this for over 2 minutes without a clue then suddenly got them all. Tricky but rewarding. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15077: Good grid spoilt by Hunter. Sagittarius is an archer. Orion is the hunter constellation but not an astrological sign. (5 years, 6 months ago)

BIRDBRAIN @ #19977: Thumbs up (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15122: There is no link between Malé and Mail. Neither spelt or sound the same. The Adams line impossible. Time for me to do one for you to try on Latin deponent verbs I think. (5 years, 6 months ago)

BIRDBRAIN @ #19993: Sargasso. Not saragasso. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15190: Clever, completely linguistic grid. I enjoyed it (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #20014: I have to disagree with Lyndon, I like the diversity. Grids that are too focused can be just impossible if you don't know an area and too easy if you do. I enjoyed this one. (5 years, 6 months ago)

H @ #19993: forking 'ell... couldn't see that. (5 years, 6 months ago)

JD @ #20014: Good grid apart from the typo. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19979: Much too specialist for me. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Ally @ #19987: can you add royal houses please? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lyndon @ #20014: too diverse - give us a chance (5 years, 6 months ago)

lockhart @ #20014: Sincere apologies - 'Blance' should read 'Blanch' - I can't find a way of changing it once submitted. Sorry! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Hubby @ #19993: Any grid with reference to American Pie works for me!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Hall @ #19401: This was shocking. I am very disappointed. 1 out of 10... and that's being generous. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Wombat @ #19829: Hale is not an anagram of the rest, but guessed it anyway (5 years, 6 months ago)

Pete @ #19992: I went with addictive substances, for some reason the word 'drugs' just didn't occur to me! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15228: Ox + ford quite reasonable but 6 possible English kings too much. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rustic @ #19996: Hit a sweet spot for me with the Turd Ferguson category. The "father" category is a bit specious as there is a credited TH role to that name - making some possibility for interchange between those categories. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19757: The trees ones are also synonyms but that is not an accepted answer. (5 years, 6 months ago)

A. Pedant @ #20002: Think McDoald is too hard. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cool Yeti @ #19979: (5 years, 6 months ago)

BaconLard @ #19975: Brands with famous adverts? Really?! That's not a good group and too specific an answer to be fair. You could argue that Macmillan (cancer support) and even Eden (project) also are brands with famous adverts meaning they could both swap with Churchill... what or who defines the level of fame? (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19987: red group - man!! blue group why not accept royal dynasties (5 years, 6 months ago)

Yepper @ #19639: Very good, much enjoyed (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19951: Gamboge? (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19949: Very difficult. Too many sewing/fabric terms (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #17150: Whisky was a shocker. Otherwise fine. (5 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #19966: Bwahahaha.. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19941: A nice grid. Thanks for posting. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Omar @ #19970: There is technically not a shrew mouse but it's a generic term referring to all shrew and mole-like rodents (5 years, 6 months ago)

britishnerd @ #19975: Sorry about the difficulty rating. Was meant to be hard. (5 years, 6 months ago)

x @ #19970: no such thing as 'shrew mouse' (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #19961: Fairies not accepted. (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #18485: agreed could be anything (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #802: I said rifle, marked incorrect....:( (5 years, 6 months ago)

bunny @ #19967: that was hard!!! thanks for sharing a little puzzgrid! (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #11319: got some groups but couldn't make them fit. Very Good (5 years, 6 months ago)

Question... @ #19673: I have noticed something odd here, how have some of the names changed to "SomeNumpty" and how have some of the recent grids created have been deleted (that includes this one that I've bookmarked). (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #19968: Utter rubbish. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Eddie @ #19955: Not very good grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

Eddie @ #19956: someone swallowed a dictionary! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Eddie @ #19961: Got answers right but wouldn't accept (5 years, 6 months ago)

JD @ #19968: Morons are out in force it seems (5 years, 6 months ago)

Balex @ #4736: I thought that the "Fever" group was all things that Van Gogh painted! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Balex @ #8923: Epithet as well as nickname? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #2537: 14 is the answer to 3x+5 in the link, not 13. (5 years, 6 months ago)

ANONYMOUS @ #19966: A problem Theresa May might be able to solve but I wouldn't bet on it. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rustic @ #2833: Not to quibble with the eminent OcE, but Julius and Augustus were not so much added as used to rename the existing Quinctilis (5th month) and Sextilis (6th month) which proceeded from the first month, Martius, named for Mars. Following that line, 8 gives rise to October. Ergo, seems like a good set to me. I would have maybe replaced "Augustus" with "first emperor" as its a bit on the nose. Given your comment as a hint, it was quite an easy board from there. Otherwise it may have been more challenging. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rustic @ #19966: I post under Citrus usually. This was not my handiwork. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19500: Technically speaking, Liberty is found in Wales but the stadium hosts English league matches. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19966: Fruits from Citrus makes this a fruity puzzle. However, JD is right there. (5 years, 6 months ago)

JD @ #19966: And the morons live on........ (5 years, 6 months ago)

macabaret @ #19964: dear god...how long I thought that one category was "___ Top" ... I am embarrassed. But nice grid! :) (5 years, 6 months ago)

Balex @ #98: And a vote for solfège! (5 years, 6 months ago)

yve @ #19756: loved this..made me smile (5 years, 6 months ago)

yve @ #19964: I enjoyed this a lot (5 years, 6 months ago)

yve @ #19954: Sorry..I thought most people knew that Sean Lennon was born on his father's birthday.. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2833: What ? Naming of the months of the year ? 8, Augustus, Mars, a Roman Dictator ? They were numbered 8-10 in Roman times and JULIUS was added in 44 BC and AUGUSTUS in 8 BC. MARTIUS was originally the first month named after Mars. How you are supposed to get those 4 in a line is beyond me. (5 years, 6 months ago)

VJ @ #19964: Some of the connections were spurious or underdefined. Food is a little weak as a category. (5 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #19961: Must be too early, this had me beat..;-) (5 years, 6 months ago)

GARY @ #19964: VERY GOOD (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19936: Good one, maybe get another crossover in? Didn't understand record flaw until literally writing this comment to say I didn't understand it. Never mind. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2844: Too many spots and animals to be interesting. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2845: Annoying grid with the same old rut of lines. Girls' names and months make it a lottery not a puzzle. Summer a girl's name ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2846: Same old, same old. No linguistic merit. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2848: Easy but hackneyed old sets. Fry a playwright ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2850: Easy but proclaim, a verb is not an announcement, a noun. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #811: 👍 (5 years, 6 months ago)

Diamonds @ #8883: Who is the 4th richest man? It's not in the answers (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #19954: Birthday group is ridiculous. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #2954: Liked the panvowels (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19954: The birthday group is way too obscure, otherwise good (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #7025: Thought it might take synonyms and knockout (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19936: got 2 in the time but very good (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cool yeti @ #19953: Very good (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cool yeti @ #19954: (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cool yeti @ #19882: (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19943: don't understand the answer to 4!!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #7024: Why not 'US city abbreviations' and 'comedians'? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptician @ #19907: I object to my name being used in this atrocity too! I did not create this grid!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #805: Nice 😁 (5 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #19942: Or spelling I mean... (5 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #19942: Just an American speaking ,Richard. Nice grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

GetAGrip @ #19954: That birthday clue is a bad one (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19907: Cryptician would never do that! This grid makes no sense. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19755: That took me eight seconds to finish the four links. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #3016: Easy but good grid with linguistic variety. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #3016: (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #12661: learn to Puzz (5 years, 6 months ago)

Bunny @ #19953: Great puzzgrid! Thanks for sharing (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #3033: Did it in 40 seconds without knowing Stargate or Terry Pratchett answers. Not a satisfying grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Yve @ #19936: enjoyed it..like a crossword puzzle in a grid..more please (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #19897: Prickly Pear delivers again... fun grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #19951: Super tough! proud that I got one point (even after the sorting of the groups by the timer) (5 years, 6 months ago)

nnnn @ #19936: This is what a grid should be like - fantastic (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fran @ #19936: Only got one connection . Clever and enjoyable grid. Kicking myself for not getting more!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fran @ #19950: Far too random and ridiculously hard. Big thumbs down!!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fran @ #19950: Far too random and ridiculously hard. Big thumbs down!!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fran @ #19950: Far too random and ridiculously hard. Big thumbs down!!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

JJ @ #19895: Thanks Larry, I'm new here! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #19580: "Asti" (5 years, 6 months ago)

Tilly @ #19897: Nice straightforward grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19934: This is an obvious prank wall in which the real Aetees didn't do by looking at the below comment. Only a handful of people know this wall if they watched the show through every episode. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19924: Excellent wall. Good variety of connections but with enough cause to think hard about it. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19942: It's really poor when the setter cannot spell words and the person solving the puzzle is penalised. I typed centre and was marked incorrect because the setter had put 'center' (sic). (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19950: Really obscure stuff. Have you been on holiday in the States? I've never even heard of those cartoons. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sturm @ #19531: they are all cheese (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sturm @ #19886: I am no red herring (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #96: Agree with Laura that using story as the definition when it's one of the words is a bit off. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #114: Loved this. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19934: Is this what it feels like when people find out that strangers are impersonating them on twitter? Cause its a fairly strange name for someone to have picked by coincidence. In case it wasn't clear, whoever made this grid isn't he same person who did all the other grids under the name Aetees. The grid itself was fine though. Called for a little more specialised knowledge than I had. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cryptician @ #19936: I can spell RECEPTACLE - honest!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #19456: Sorry, we only shop at Waitrose (5 years, 6 months ago)

pb @ #19918: Idiot grid... the first letter is a word is pathetic, the flag clue is rubbish try pointless more your style (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19753: Your colours are wrongly spelt - the key word that is. I should have scored a point for that and so does others who've tried this. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19920: Agree with boo-urns, my thinking is that they begin with that letter. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19918: Yes the bad thing is that there are five states which began with the same letter. One of them have already been used up so it can't be a replacement for the duplicate Maryland though I may disagree with the Florida group as there are close contenders. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19928: Say one entry in that group so the others would know. I was let down in all of them. (5 years, 6 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #129: "Apples" didn't count for the types of apples row :\ (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19924: *Guernsey and London*. Also in your explanation the word singer is misspelt. Glad it accepts the British variant. (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #6964: good grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19928: The groups aren't in the same order for everyone - which was group 4 for you? (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19928: let down by group 4 (5 years, 6 months ago)

Woo @ #15870: Really really easy (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19924: thought moon was ok. didn't get it but par for the course!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19753: Green, Red, Yellow, Purple - those four are COLOURS. How can I possibly be wrong with that answer? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19755: Were you testing the system? It took me 14 seconds. As long as that because I couldn't believe at first that it wasn't a joke. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19925: How are Razzmatazz and Medallion colours? I could create a name for a colour... Also jewellery is not accepted. Only US spelling. I have no idea what "prompts in Writers Workshop" means. Not my favourite grid at all. (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19924: Moon category a bit iffy - usually it's either they all go before or after a given word, not either. Also Moonpig seems very obscure. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19920: New York & Maryland's capitals do not end in A. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19918: Two copies of Maryland = not fun (5 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #19906: Wouldn't allow 'female titles' Pineapple and sweetcorn aren't pizza toppings! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #19925: loved the golfballs set and was very pleased to solve it... not the colours however, I'm a graphic designer by trade and a screenprinter for fun (been exhibited internationally) ...never heard of Razzmatazz nor Medallion (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19906: Never heard of a jalapeno before. And mushrooms are items (and a red herring for food). (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19907: Not cryptic at all from Cryptician there. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #291: Spengler agrees with Spangles (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19906: Pineapple, sweetcorn etc could also be types of salsa. specifically pizza toppings is quite narrow (5 years, 6 months ago)

Devils Advocaat @ #19906: Is Mushroom a character in Mario Kart? Are you thinking of Toad, who is 'mushroom-like'? (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19903: Nice fake out with an afterlife/utopia category (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mike and Jen @ #19882: like everyone says, to many interchangeable (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #19906: apologies Jeannieirene, is there a way I can edit the answers? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mike and Jen @ #19906: (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannieirene @ #19906: Good overall quality. Needs more leeway on answer to sultana group. Didn't accept 'female aristocratic titles' which I thought fitted exactly! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mike and Jen @ #19887: (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #6: very poor show (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #3: I got 10/10 after guessing the last set, but I wouldn't have managed that if I'd been competing in a timed quiz. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #19907: a pretty unfunny waste of the internet. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #6822: what D said, a tick is an arachnid and "pests" was refused as a correct answer. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mike and Jen @ #19877: (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mike and Jen @ #19894: OK grid but hard to get category names correct (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19871: Poor grid, one of the links is already outdated and is not known by the vast majority. tedslacker, that is not you is it? I think not from the real comment. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Homer Seymour @ #19907: I object to my name being used in this atrocity. (5 years, 6 months ago)

chicken lady @ #19814: WWW (5 years, 6 months ago)

Spengler @ #19683: Yep - what everyone else said : fun grid, achievable (which is nice), but your next grids should have wider answer acceptions. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19897: A pleasant simple grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19893: Not my area of expertise so hard to say if that is impossible, hard or maybe very easy for the right sort of quizzer. Nice to see something a bit different though. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19892: Decent but lacking in new ideas. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lyndon @ #19903: Still non the wiser after seeing answers - you are supposed to set these for the average person - only you could solve this !!!!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jonah @ #19808: Not clever, just irritating. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matt King @ #19810: In what universe is coral blue or green? It's pink. Other than that, lovely puzzle. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19803: Sargent is not the spelling of an army rank. I treated that as a red herring. Surely if you're going to put a grid together you would check the accuracy of your 16 items first? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19804: There was a repeat in the stupid Batman theme connection. I was marked wrong for international domains. I was marked wrong for putting elements. Both of these seemed very unfair. I clearly had it right. (5 years, 6 months ago)

x @ #19884: Paul wasn't one of the12 disciples. Too much obscure knowledge. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19810: So, tree doesn't count as a reason for that last group? Ridiculous. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Richard @ #19816: I was annoyed to get only 7 out of 10 because palindrome had been spelled incorrectly by the question setters. (5 years, 6 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #19884: I'm impressed with myself that I was onto the Mary Tyler Moore connection although I couldn't figure out what the fourth one was (Murray). I didn't manage to match anything, but I figured out 3 of the connections! Great wall, definitely difficult. (5 years, 6 months ago)

cmus @ #19683: i think 'homophones' and 'tabloids' should be accepted for the relevant categories (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #19882: Mars and Neptune are also both Roman Gods and planets so not a unique solution. Poor effort. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Janos @ #2186: First one I got fully right ;) (5 years, 6 months ago)

Janos @ #2331: Hardware wasn't accepted instead of computer - could be a nice move. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #19755: Easiest grid ever. I like to finish off on a high! (10) (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #19897: Nice groupings but suspect this should be rated easy. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Bigd @ #13116: Great grid!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19897: Some tricky ones there, but a quality grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19894: A nice enough grid, but seed category needs wider scope of answers. (5 years, 6 months ago)

larry stylinson @ #19852: unfair w/ answers like it had to be double acts not duos (5 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #19885: TimS, Berry & Green are Bond girl red herrings (Halle and Eva), not part of the Stones group (note the semicolon!). The sweet group is a list of genuine words or names that when you add a "y" on the end gives a list of sweet foods (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19887: Good. Straight forward groups no room for moaners (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19890: Group 4 too specific (I put retailers which they are) Good try. Don't let rude idiots put you off. (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #19891: (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fran @ #16365: This one made me blush haha (5 years, 6 months ago)

Larry. @ #19895: We did in 40 seconds but it was a good grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19875: Phantom: Ford is the english word, Fjord is Norwegian (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19872: Fun grid! Nerd complaint: Andy's Chest is on the VU outtakes set, or Lou's Transformer, not the 1969 self-titled. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19873: Challenging and a bit obscure, but good all the same. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Megashark10 @ #19890: Jp, I am the creator of this grid and apprichate your feedback. I dont know who this other guy is commenting, but please dont be offended and I hope you carry on playing. This comment exposes a flaw in this site where you can comment under any name, but I wish people wouldn't use it like this. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cool Yeti @ #19887: Good (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #19887: Easier if you know your films, but some nice variation in the clues. Thanks! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #19890: The Tom Cruise group lets this grid down: there is an inaccuracy (as noted by JP), plus it feels far too specific to be achievable as a connection. Otherwise some nice ideas. I look forward to seeing your future grids. (5 years, 6 months ago)

gaffer @ #11: Nile and Danube interchangeable both blue and rivers (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19882: I like it, but too much cross over between gods and planets (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19887: Liked it (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19890: "Mummy's" is not a plural, should be "Mummies" Otherwise, good, and I loved the rugby group. I was misdirected towards American Football teams, I missed that Tigers are not one! (5 years, 6 months ago)

jefco @ #19867: Good grid. UBone you dont hang out in the right places. (5 years, 6 months ago)

JD @ #19887: Good, but simple. (5 years, 6 months ago)

jefco @ #19882: I didnt solve it but i thought it was a good grid . (5 years, 6 months ago)

JD @ #19886: Very good grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19882: Yes Jupiter makes two links which successfully swaps with e.g. Mars so I make it at least two solutions. (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #11327: mini map? west world? eh? (5 years, 6 months ago)

TimS @ #19882: to be honest I found it fairly easy. Got the Pluto group first. didn't take long to get the Mercury group. and the rest fell in to place. But a quality grid none the less. (5 years, 6 months ago)

TimS @ #19885: Berry & Green I have an anthology of the Stones, Neither were members. The sweet group makes no sense except for Hone (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sul @ #19850: Even though I got it, I dislike the "wordplay" group since it is not really a word play but a "types of" group with an odd one out. The odd one out requires the additional word that the others are types of to be added as a terminal string without space, unlike the others in its group. (5 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #19852: Misspelt Mendelssohn Doesn't accept some valid phrasing of answers but that's unavoidable I suppose Good false category Not enough crossover otherwise, though (5 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #19848: Nice ideas for groups, but not enough crossover/red herrings (5 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #19864: Violates requirement of unique solution: could swap Volvo and Ikea (5 years, 6 months ago)

DH @ #19882: unsolvable without getting lucky (5 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #19882: Violates the rule that there be only one possible solution, making it unfairly difficult to get the "right" one (5 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #19882: Agree with Larry. Got the dogs and elements easily enough. Knew the rest were gods and planets but too many combinations to try. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Cynic @ #17521: Don't think Sherlock Holmes and Poirot should be allowed as not an actual group. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Giggsy @ #19877: bit easy (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gunner @ #19868: @MK neither of those are correct guesses. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Larry. @ #19882: Well i got this but it's not really fair to have interchangeable answers like the gods and the planets. (5 years, 6 months ago)

MK @ #19868: Not sure what's going on here. Correct guesses were marked wrong (used the wrong plural I guess) and incorrect were marked right (I said Shakespeare characters, and words that can be multiple parts of speech). (5 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #19439: It's better than the NATO phonetic alphabet (5 years, 6 months ago)

Clue @ #19871: Out of all these pseudonyms, it is good that I have mine on there as a joke of a grid. From tedslacker's comment, seems like there may be two. From Iggy's comment, who I've also seen on the wall, I agree it does not have general connections. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gunner @ #19852: Won't accept 'synonyms' as connection for first one. Sort your stool out. Stick to playing and not submitting you twing. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Phantom bunny @ #19875: Ford should be spelt fjord but otherwise its pretty good (5 years, 6 months ago)

Phantom bunny @ #19874: OMG. This was so great, a perfect blend of difficulty and fun. However wulver aren't actually a type of werewolf they are just similar (5 years, 6 months ago)

tedslacker @ #19871: I get this is a joke grid, but why the name-jack? Trolling or flattery? I AM VERY CONFUSED. Signed, Original tedslacker (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19238: Done that in 29 seconds, who can beat me to that? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19871: What's this grid all about? The only good thing about this is that it had my pseudonym on there, the rest does not have a general connection. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19870: Fine grid to play with Geog, great set of clues. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Fran @ #17806: Haha swear connection made me laugh. Great grid !! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #3175: Good grid. Iommi didn't spoil it. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #7546: WINGS? are you serious? Pathetic. That link ruined an otherwise enjoyable session. Urgh (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #7485: I was LITERALLY listening to THE MASTERPLAN (the SONG NOT EVEN THE ALBUM - ROFL!!!) when i solved the Oasis link. So that was a really wonderful start. The oxymorons - A*. As for the rest, oh dear. A real let down after such a strong opener. Must try harder. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #4852: Persisting with the lower cases I see? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #4852: meh (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #16903: Odd grid that. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Also confused @ #5633: I found it: look up "Selsey Bill" and "Portland Bill". Can't find etymology, though. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lowercase N @ #683: Rough! But I like it that way! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19850: Nice grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #11389: enjoyed this grid but...…. my answer : ….empire marked wrong correct answer : ancient empires please don't witter on about spoiler alert. if people read the reviews in advance of doing the grid then spoiler alerts are their problem. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19823: Tough grid but deduct one star for Harry Potter. But add one back for no Pokemon !!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19719: Synonyms and spirits should have been acceptable answers. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Diamonds @ #19842: Sorry, I don't understand the answers. Can you explain them a little more? I really don't get what the connections are between any of the names and 'math(s) class' etc. Please help! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15141: Nice to see the Jabberwocky. Two horror writers and bowling terms too slithy. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15169: German number pronunciations pretty poor. The French count - an, der, twa I suppose. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19775: boo-urns Not poor, I see this as links to given words. However not the best in the world. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19773: Pedge Poor and four have the same sound endings and cakes are not all round in fairness. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19721: One of the hardest grids I have ever faced. Especially the Lupus group where Nocky (me) won't have. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19821: "guitar types" was incorrect. Keywords could use a check. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19820: This is very, very sloppy. Boo-urns, I say. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jeannie @ #19816: Put palindromes but not accepted, as answer had incorrect spelling ( palandromes) Easily checked before uploading! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gog-ette @ #19811: Really liked this. Good red herring. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15212: Good grid, which I enjoyed. Nice to see common words of other languages appearing and NEIN as well. However MANGÉ is a past participle or part of the passé composé. Simple past or past historic, as we older linguists called it, would be (je) MANGEAI. Aß is the simple past in (written) German, technically the imperfect used to mean I was eating in spoken German. Keep them coming. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15219: What word is "mee" ? I object to one and won being homophones. They're not in the Potteries. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15241: Never eaten a pinball. You ever had Werthers Echte ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

VJ @ #1152: Fun to do, some clever red herrings (5 years, 6 months ago)

VJ @ #14437: Finally one of yours I could get, could make the connection definitions a bit more inclusive, right connections not always accepted. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15282: Sirius Black is a character not a shade. Matte is an American spelling. Should be matt. (5 years, 6 months ago)

VJ @ #15749: The Erie connection was cool, hard to get but made perfect sense. (5 years, 6 months ago)

BIRDBRAIN @ #19797: badly spelt, too easy, and would not accept dwellings - disappointing (5 years, 6 months ago)

BIRDBRAIN @ #19798: Funny though (5 years, 6 months ago)

A @ #19803: Only difficult because "Sergeant" and "Malkovich" are misspelled (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #19803: "Sergeant" is misspelt. (5 years, 6 months ago)

ML @ #19803: Enjoyed the wall solved it with maximum points once I got the who link. Not exactly insanity as I’ve seen it described (5 years, 6 months ago)

the guru @ #18079: super grid.. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #4343: Should allow 'goalkeepers' and 'electronics companies' both of which are true descriptions of the categories. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19683: As Cool Yeti. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19781: Good grid. The prime ministers defeated me! (5 years, 6 months ago)

CM @ #19802: Urgh. Be warned. Waste your time on this vexatious nonsense at your peril. (5 years, 6 months ago)

CM @ #19801: A puzzle of two halves. Jamies were a mystery (as was the apostrophe) and I'm far too old to know what a Bop-it is, but I know for a certainty that it is Tim Burton and that Wikipedia is as consistent and reliable as my bladder control. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15300: A grid based on 16 names is rather lifeless and unimaginative. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #15303: First names of any group of people is tenuous. Add two kids' films and you've got a pretty poor grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Too much time on my hands @ #19796: A misplaced teacher's grid. Save your self 10 minutes wasted in bloody-minded googling and take my word for it that the answers are countries, animals, body parts and fruit. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19775: On Xmas day, you eat Christmas dinner, not a designated day to eat the food given. I also think Cryptitian does better grids than that. (5 years, 6 months ago)

A Liverpudlian @ #19789: … said the discriminatory, narrow-minded bigot. Take your lazy stereotyping and f**k off back to the 1980s. 'Scousers' isn't any city I know of. You know what you doing, so shame (of which you have none) on you. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Blingy @ #19789: A Liverpudlian A Bigot is someone who refuses to tolerate the views of others. Taking the piss out of your city is not bigotry (5 years, 6 months ago)

CM @ #19782: I know what you are aiming for, but see Cryptician for a lesson in how to do it properly (5 years, 6 months ago)

TimS @ #19773: Others have voiced the Cake clue which is ridiculous. York is a city where Chocolate is made. Rowntree & Terry's are the makers. And I typed 4 not four to get incorrect. You say the grid is Easy, I also say it's poor. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Garu @ #18834: F.C. stands for Football Club. The vast majority of football clubs - especially in the UK - have those initials in their name. On that basis, Cardiff is interchangeable with Swansea or Newport, and this makes a grid which is otherwise pretty good not quite so good. (5 years, 6 months ago)

TIMM2 @ #1706: Straitjacket The long-sleeved garment used to bind a person’s arms tightly against the body is a straitjacket. The spelling derives from a little-used, mostly archaic definition of strait—i.e., tightly fitting. The word is commonly misspelled in a number of ways, including straightjacket, strait-jacket, straight-jacket, strait jacket, and straight jacket. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Garu @ #19781: No, you’re thinking of Plep, the Belgian band who had a string of hits across the Benelux countries in the 1980s. This is someone else. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Garu @ #19759: A number sentence is an alternative way of saying an equation (heard it used in schools when I briefly worked there). Really like this, challenging but not unreasonable. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19781: Nice try but the band is called Pelp, not Pulp (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #18822: Picking out numbers to see the connections between them was hard enough in this one. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Garu @ #19751: Definitely fiendish. Ithaca and any word from da Vinci, in particular. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19674: Yes, your wall is not unique, it has five solutions to this because Harvey Barnes and four others there have occupations which are linked with sport. Paul Abbott can be a fine replacement. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19751: I've also struggled on this fiendish wall as well. I worked on a common theme but could not spot Charlie in the correct link. (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19772: Smashed the connections, but what and why are the explanations and my answers which I am sure I am right do not agree with each other? (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19547: I admit now there are things slightly wrong with that. Agree with Scorpion bit. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19775: very poor all around. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19771: The vast majority of people on Earth have never been to Maine. Who the heck knows the names of their lumber companies? (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19770: weak categories (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19766: obviously NFL teams and not baseball. Nice try at saving face with those obscure minor league teams. (5 years, 6 months ago)

UBone @ #19748: far too specific & US sport centric (5 years, 6 months ago)

Garu @ #19771: Too specific. If you’ve never been to Maine, how are you going to have a chance? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Garu @ #19769: That’s a good one. There’s some specialist knowledge that I don’t have, but I would expect other people to do so, the subject matters are relatively broad, and there’s some good red herrings in there. I like it! (5 years, 6 months ago)

geoff @ #18611: FILO pastry (5 years, 6 months ago)

PlasmaGateQuest @ #19771: Super specific (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19547: The four things that are wrong with the grid which some people have noticed three between them:- 1) These are computer games (specifically card games) but spider can have more than one variant. 2) Octopi does not have tentacles, they are known as limbs which are mistaken for tentacles. 3) Scorpion is also a card game and Spider is an eight-legged animal so the wall has two possible solutions. 4) A spelling error makes this connection incomplete.

Slonko @ #7427: Challenging but good. All the complaints about Moroni are baseless - it is a legitimate capital city and anyone with good general knowledge should aim to know all the capitals, let alone countries, not just those everyone has heard of. Moroni is a quiz chestnut at that. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sports fan @ #19772: Nocky you can hardly accuse my grids of being nonsense after your last 2 efforts (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19773: Chuck T It is usual practice in Alabama in the USA. Breakfast cake is a cake made from prunes and rice. It is boiled and served cold with ketchup (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19774: Chuck T, It is a custom in the town I come from in England. It started in the 1970's when a police officer attended a wedding to respond to reports of a fight and someone threw a hot dog at him. It sort of carried on from there (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19772: Sports Fan - Clue is rght - this is nonsense (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19774: One of us needs to change username!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Chuck T @ #19774: OMG, this is like so lame. But - hahahahah - throwing a hot dog at a wedding. WTF is that about, dude? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Chuck T @ #19773: Who eats cake for breakfast, dude? Piss-poor puzzle IMHO (5 years, 6 months ago)

Chuck T @ #19770: Too niche for non-US folks. And an otter is nothing like a seal - wrong family, dude (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19773: There are either 2 Nockys or someone copied my username - I didn't do this one (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sports fan @ #19772: Clue, have you seen any of those TV shows or films? If so you would not be making such a ridiculous statement (5 years, 6 months ago)

SomeNumpty @ #19751: Yes it is a hard one if you don't know what's what, like me. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Nocky @ #19766: You may want to check that: Pittsburgh Steelers, Tenessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys are definitely NFL teams I'm sure there are some obscure baseball teams with those franchise names but the more famous ones are 100% football (5 years, 6 months ago)

Andy King @ #16765: To be fair, even though it was an error, SWOT with the 'O' is a pretty common acronym in risk analysis, (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). Capitalisation, particularly if it was this group alone, would have given it away. Decent grid that caused a fight, lovely jublee! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #19711: Linda Lavin ?????????? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Diamonds @ #13507: Aarrgh! The amount of times I describe something for the answer and because they use different words to describe it but wiht the same meaning it says your're wrong. I said Field etc were types of terrain in the countryside which I am pretty certain is another way of describing types of open land... Grrr. Computers. You don't get this trouble with Victoria...

Verr @ #652: 'Scottish Clans' is weak, so that Patterson Christie Chandler and Rankin all fit two categories. Perhaps you have a more restrictive list somewhere. (5 years, 6 months ago)

knife @ #19491: Errs on the side of obscurity. Think the assassins could have been explained in more detail. Difficult is not the same as entertaining. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rachael @ #19461: Bendigedig! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Jime @ #19491: 'Squeaky'? Wouldn't have got it anyway. Should be 'Bobby'. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19490: Out of all the team names, none of them are really of opposite ends of brilliance, just your opinion. I found a wall which considers some people 'heroes' but only to certain fans. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Connor @ #19490: BRILLIANT GRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19486: Consider them heroes to certain people, not everyone. Also that's 100% of a certain topic. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lyndon @ #19467: stupid (5 years, 6 months ago)

ezzarrr @ #19436: Hi Tbone, they cannot be swapped as Late and Later have the same meaning and so cannot satisfy the other group description. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #19467: OU Really again descriptions very vague (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #19468: not getting the explanations, sorry (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #626: Nice, beat me. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #620: Poor puzzle. The two categories into which Fiji Australia and New Zealand supposedly fit, both apply to all of them. Solution is not unique. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rob @ #5494: Wouldn’t accept the written answers. I got 10/10 (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #15907: A bit tough for an American, as we call them "oven mitts" (5 years, 6 months ago)

ThomasT @ #1708: Great puzzle, but yes, should be "salesmen". Spoonerisms are about pronounciation, so Oatcake eater is wrong on the other thing. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #16520: I've never seen a kraken before. Muses is certainly invalid but blind mice is better. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Ally @ #9489: Hmm.. the cathedrals one I said former abbeys, which is true and more specific than you wanted because I thought cathedrals was too obvious. So I'm counting it as correct. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19440: i don't think anyone at all will know video game OSTs soundtracked by Tim Follin....far too esoteric. Ditto with Secret of Mana... anyone over a certain age will not even have heard of it. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #9875: Not straightforward so took a few guesses (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #2296: Really good mix and several words can go in several categories which makes it a good wall (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #184: Liked this one good mix (5 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #10577: Tough (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mappy @ #19447: Great grid. I went from completely lost to getting 10/10 in a matter of seconds! Great job! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16498: Classic grid with good crossovers and varied categories. (5 years, 6 months ago)

HJ @ #19434: Good grid, (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16515: Should be classed as easy. Not space again Rachel ! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16516: Spot on Rachel. Good categories with crossovers. (5 years, 6 months ago)

COD @ #19447: Nice (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16517: Very easy. Satellite has 2 Ls. Check your answers Rachel this is the third in a row with mistakes. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16520: Anagrams of animals ? One was in the plural. There are 9 muses. Pretty shoddy grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #19438: The airports group feels a bit too unachievable, especially as "Tan" is the only one taken from the middle of the name. Other than that, a challenging and enjoyable grid. Thanks! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16522: Should be classed as easy. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16523: Good grid. I assume you mean Bell End , the village in Dudley. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16524: Red seeing ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16547: Good grid. Shouldn't it be BALten ? Surely you don't expect the imperfect tense plural of the verb BALLEN . That would be too obscure. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Brutus @ #16853: Voc, Dat/Abl, Dat/Abl, Dat (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16546: Nice to have a German grid. Good categories. I was trying too hard with the Z... words. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Brutus @ #16576: There's a fatal overlap between the "run away" and "end in animal" categories - scram/scat are both terms that mean run away, or leave in a hurry - ram/cat are both animal endings. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16576: Enjoyable grid with good crossovers but one group was homophones and a mite is an arachnid (as is a spider) not an insect. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16577: Nice grid but spoilt by impossible wording of categories. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matt King @ #19417: Birds/NFL really caught me out; nicely done. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matt King @ #19427: Lovely red herrings. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16670: Good grid. Cross- and -cross clever. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Matt King @ #19430: Meh; recorded incorrect when I answered "Trees" on types of tree which seemed a bit odd, but the rest were fine. got the groups and the connection apart from "Old" - simply never occurred to me! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16625: Your famous queens line is either just wrong or homophobic, James. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16682: Dave you're foul-mouthed and you made 3 spelling mistakes in your knuckle-dragging comment. Grow up. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16695: Artic very bad as Trump would say. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16701: 8 first names in a grid of 16 is the most barren form of question in a linguistic/ general knowledge puzzle. I just switched off. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16740: Very easy but swanling is just plain obscure. Cygnet is from the French "cygne"- swan and is the accepted word for a young swan. "-ling" is a Germanic form and should be the correct ending to match the German word "Schwan"- swan but it is so rare that I have never heard it. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16751: Don't see enough of these kind of linguistic connections. Much better than members of bands and suburbs of Leeds. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Vilbia @ #10958: difficult (5 years, 6 months ago)

Vilbia @ #10958: difficult (5 years, 6 months ago)

dasutein1 @ #19437: Well, more than half the quizzes on here are very heavy on UK specific knowledge. It's not like there isn't an internet where info can move freely across the seas ;). (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19432: Easy apart from the Harry Potter line, which only works for people who are into those books/films. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19437: Mostly meaningless to people outside US! Only the tea line makes any sense. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Chris C @ #15242: Technically it should be "Schroedinger's" (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #16985: Grassroot is not a thing. It's Grassroots! (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #17166: Cobb salad (5 years, 6 months ago)

the guru @ #15526: world hunger... ok. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rango @ #19434: Loved it (5 years, 6 months ago)

Akne @ #19295: Agree knew answers but not accepted (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #18333: Marshmello is not a singer, he is a DJ or music producer. (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #18400: Piano, Forte, Crescendo and Legato are called "Dynamics" in music. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamics_(music) (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #18570: "Centre" is most certainly not a position on an American Football team. It's "Center" ;). And, "chocolate bars" are called "candy bars" in the US. (5 years, 6 months ago)

lindy @ #19412: Good grid although I scored badly with my answers. I didn't notice the girls names in the States, my bad. I also just put "actors" never having seen Gladiator ( Derek Jacobi is one of my favourite actors). The Normandy group was the first I solved . (5 years, 6 months ago)

d @ #18986: That South Africa flag emoji is messed up. (5 years, 6 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19419: several spelling errors, and narrow categories. (5 years, 6 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #19414: Technically crabs have ten.... (5 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #19413: Enjoyable and challenging. Thanks! (5 years, 6 months ago)

TimS @ #19414: Found it easy, but excellent Grid Loved the legs, thought that V clever. and Pernickerty should know it's the SILVER shadow. and Kate Staples is more enjoyable to look at (5 years, 6 months ago)

TimS @ #19417: Likewise. Wasn't sure what to put for "Men of the cloth" Grid was relatively easy , but didn't matter. There were a couple of red herrings, and it was fun to do. (5 years, 6 months ago)

imme @ #19407: I liked zz etc. Inventive, playful and a cute way of hiding the answer in plain sight I though, unlike the trend of having group definitions right there in the grid, which I dislike intensely. (5 years, 6 months ago)

imme @ #19417: Ditto clergy. Birds, no. NFL teams, yes. Obscure / unnecessary secondary definitions are always irritating . An alright puzzle diminished by the link terms/definitions for me I'm afraid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Rou @ #19421: Not too hard, I knew all the answers from the radio! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #566: Nice!😁 (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16733: Pronouns pathetic. I, me, you, he, she, her, it, him, we, they , them are in thousands of words. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #560: Poor. Obscurity for the sake of it does not a satisfying puzzle make. And as for folk and folks... (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16759: They are nouns so cannot mean to smell bad (adverb needed here). Malodor American spelling. Chris Pine is not famous. Pretty poor grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16765: 3 nice linguistics lines but acronyms a disaaaster darling. SAG possible in capitals. Swot is either a spelling mistake or ridiculously hard. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #556: Bravo, good puzzle, bit smug in the comments though. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Verr @ #555: Not my cup of tea at all (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16825: Rank . Unfortunately this word wasn't accepted in the first category. Grid is a repeat. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16845: Piffle ! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16853: Popular musical groups ? Name the case in Latin for these inflected nouns, plonker. Amice, gladiatoribus, scuto, urbi. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16854: Sorry but James Cameron and James McAvoy are not famous. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16855: Possibly the worst grid I have ever seen. On a positive note there were no spelling mistakes in the inane categories. Did you also vote for Brexit ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16825: John Candy and John Legend are not famous in my obviously tiny world. (5 years, 6 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #19414: Rolls Royce SHADOW. Hillman HUNTER, Ford SCORPIO and Ford ZODIAC all make car models too. I'm counting that one for my ten. (5 years, 6 months ago)

neilb4god @ #19391: Who's Dr Who? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19414: Arguable... crabs are in the order decapoda. So 8 legs if you don't count the claws. Nice idea. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #19396: ah. I see. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Giggsy @ #15460: JonBob, sport peppers are delicious and you are wrong. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16596: Mercury, Tin, Silver, and Gold are also metals, jellylegs! (5 years, 6 months ago)

pendlewitch @ #19416: Years of LA Olympics were also leap years. Wasn't this one of the first-round questions on OC recently? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #19413: Enjoyable grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

Gyap @ #19292: Load of bolics if you ask me (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19414: Liked it (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9678: Much better Pshwil. No Hong Kong ! Good grouping. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9679: Too easy for medium even with the ridiculous Hong Kong link. Parse these latin verbs Pshwil : moriturus sit, monebam, tulisti, cacemur. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9683: Area of Hong Kong ? Also Finthen is an area of Mainz in Germany. Nobody north of Oxford says won, two, three. Drivel. (5 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #19412: Good quality, one star deducted for including Harry Potter, but added back for not having a "celebs" clue !!!! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9684: Get a life. One Direction and Inside Out ? Listen to Smetana and watch The Black Narcissus. (5 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19407: Thanks for the grid Joe. Agree with others about the zz group - linked to the absence of capital letter to begin each clue? (5 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19412: Thanks Lincombe. Enjoyable grid - probably suffered though by not having 'Gold' on there somewhere too. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9685: Good grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9686: Popular challenges ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Tol @ #19317: Enjoyable grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

T.H @ #19362: Nice idea. Fun grid. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9769: Good grid with variety of categories. Is Coventry Street known beyond Monopoly ? (5 years, 6 months ago)

Aetees @ #19369: Excellent grid (5 years, 6 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19411: I was on a hiding to nothing with this one as Louisa May Alcott was the only one I have heard of........so well played! (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9835: Worst sort of grid. Misspelling of Oscars, verbs and nouns in same category of quizzing, no crossovers, too easy. Sloppy diarrhoea. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9836: Carafe with a "k" and Casper is the ghost. Caspar is the wise man. Pretty shoddy. Saved by the gravitas of Hamlet. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9843: Sad git grid. I'll have to do one on French irregular verbs and World War One trench names. Still solved in 30 seconds. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9866: Great crossovers and varied grid but Father Christmas was a poor category. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9886: Nice grid with sword crossover. I remember the Reliant Scimitar with fondness and can still just about play cricket , so good categories. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9905: Pretty poor. Misspelling of scholar and Brussels cannot on its own mean sprouts. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9906: Easy but good groups. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Oatcaker Eater @ #9908: Should be regraded as easy. (5 years, 6 months ago)

TimS @ #19392: Impossible to do. Where do you start. Only a specialist in farming history and practice is going to have a chance. (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19400: The TV and Camera companies have too much cross over, but I liked the double bluff with the mountains (5 years, 6 months ago)

JP @ #19407: Good grid, but the ZZ group doesn't really work (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #12490: cartoon characters' (ie s apostrophe, not apostrophe s) - which denotes several different characters, not just one, who have favourite foods (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #12551: crackerjack not crackajack (5 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19396: Hi OM. It left me with no red herrings for the carpet group. That particular herring was in the fifth unused group I had. (5 years, 6 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19409: Forgot to set the difficulty (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #12645: ….courts should have been accepted. and btw I think the whole of the UK has these courts, so the narrow English in the allegedly correct answer is inaccurate. Pratchett reference in the UK is obscure too. you would think he was one of the great classic writers the way references from his fantasy books keep coming up in the grids. (5 years, 6 months ago)

Tews @ #19400: Good (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #12647: not preceded but followed by (5 years, 6 months ago)

cazza @ #12650: one grid too broad to be realistic (5 years, 6 months ago)

cb @ #19400: Darn that's annoying..having to use lower case in the comments I mean. The puzzle was a breeze, eventually! ;-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

nerd @ #19400: Think you'll find several of those TV and camera manufacturers could belong in either group. However, one group is all Japanese companies and the other is Chinese or Korean, those are rather more obvious connections. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16883: Very easy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Hmmmm @ #19382: Too many obvious red herrings, tenuous links and then not enough options for the answers... So it's a frustrating grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Yorkshire Pudding @ #19407: Not difficult but fun nevertheless. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19407: 10/10. Thanks. Not sure that the 'pu' group is allowed. Surely each box must contain a real word (or number). (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mappy @ #19399: A fantastic, challenging grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #168: Orangeman? (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19396: I have no idea how this still works but I think it does. For some reason I did five groups of 4, instead of four groups. Only realised when testing the grid. Feckin' idiot. (5 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #19386: Perhaps more accurate to say the countries still exist, they just have different names (5 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #19382: Not really successful because the eye category is pretty feeble/strained (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19323: I thought I'd done well until it came to making the connections in the second round. I should have put Long John Silver instead of Treasure Island, then at least I'd have scored 3. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #19368: " Decrease ", great one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19365: Ran out of time but scored 2, then found 3 connections but came a cropper on the last one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16941: Basil is not derived from a plant. It is from Greek Basileus -king. Therefore category should be plants. Grids with only names are unsatisfying. Agustus sloppy. All in all, substandard. (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #19359: Nice grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #17624: Consider accepting 'sodas' (5 years, 7 months ago)

TimS @ #19047: No idea what paw patrol is. and the Blue group is just daft. (5 years, 7 months ago)

sh*te grid @ #18684: Wouldn't accept 'suits' for suits. Also, the teenagers category is pathetically wrong. Should accept 'subculture'. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19319: Missing Jelly aside (what ever that may mean) an enjoyable grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

TimS @ #19318: Very good. Marked high. The only thing is the Purple group should be either pastry dishes or Fruit dishes. Apple isn't the only fruit used. (5 years, 7 months ago)

TimS @ #19331: Too easy. The only thinking time needed was, what was the blue group. (5 years, 7 months ago)

danlev @ #19309: SORRY ABOUT THE DOUBLE APPLE! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19316: Celebrating International Women's Day... At least Iggy Azalea is there to match the commentor's first name. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #19310: The crossovers made this a real tester :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

pedant @ #18: Adverbs - really? Try learning your parts of speech before trying to create a quiz using parts of speech as an answer. Obviously from the USA from the spelling used, but surely even there people are taught grammar? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #19295: Too strict on answers e.g. wouldn't accept "ocean" instead of "oceans" (5 years, 7 months ago)

Steve @ #19310: Trickier than it looks. 10/10 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Bruce @ #19310: I hate you (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16956: If you're a fan of the book, this one separates quite readily, typos or no typos :-) H2G2 generated a few good grids a while back because ford and Arthur are both US presidents and of course lincoln is also a car... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19290: Have to admit I'm woefully ignorant of 19th Century incest... Glbert group was nice though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19285: Didn't think this worked. The Rams group is too obvious because of what I strongly suspect are non words... even if they aren't it still sticks out a mile. The rest... was ok. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #9141: Excellent grid with right amount of challenge but ultimate satisfaction! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Toferino @ #19295: Wouldn't accept CANADA as an answer (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #16956: Mach weiter Pfaurenz. Ich habe MHD in Mainz studiert und hätte lieber Parzival von Wolfram von Eschenbach gesehen (Parsifal ist Wagner). Ich habe dein Rätsel genossen. Ich mache dir eins über Cricket and Bog-snorkeling. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Toferino @ #19308: Odd. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17041: I praised Gunner earlier for knowledge before he revealed himself as a chauvinistic knuckle-dragger. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17041: Pity about the St. Andrew but you're in an anal-retentive orthographic fish-pond with quizzers and it's full of piranhas. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17045: Should be classed as easy. Good knowledge Gunner in the comments. (5 years, 7 months ago)

neilb4god @ #19303: Mainwaring, surely? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Rantos @ #19277: I had the categories except for the Christian bale movies, but could not get them in order. Frustrating but not unpleasing. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #19289: Excellent puzzle, just the right balance of difficulty. Best of all, no celebs or Harry Potter !!!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19295: Liked it. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19249: That was quite a fiendish wall there. Particularly the points where actors were part of films I have not seen before. (i.e. all of them) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19297: Yes I did put the full version of the words instead of what Tbone said. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #19292: What are the acceptable answers for the SI units? Nobody is going to write 1x10^3 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #19297: It didn't accept mollusc either but uses the word in the description. Clearly a duff link. I think they've put 'molluscs' and 'currency' rather than 'mollusc' and 'currenc' which would incorporate both. Who really says marine invertebrates instead of molluscs? (5 years, 7 months ago)

MEGAN SHARKLE @ #19278: SHARKSTORM A COMIN (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #13484: hard to get, not always clear connections, though I did like the dinosaur category. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #13483: Great grid, I did not get the last connection but it made perfect sense once I had it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #13485: not difficult but fun to do, the last connection took me long to get, despite staring me in the face. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeff @ #19305: Next time make sure your spellings are right and don’t tell me the answer yea get it (5 years, 7 months ago)

I hate you @ #19292: Agree with other people. Your plurals are shite (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mapper @ #2748: Too many word type clues (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #19295: Did not accept correct answers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19292: I agree with JD. I got non of the answers marked correct despite knowing what they were. It doesn't bother me that much though and otherwise a nice grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #19292: All correct answers - all given as wrong. Very, very poor. Should be taken down for editing. (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #19295: I'm another who only scored 6/10 because "Ocean" and "Canada' were not accepted. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #19300: Germaine Greer is Australian (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19297: I'd typed in 'currencies' but says incorrect, I'd award myself a point for that. And another one are indeed marine invertebrates which should give you one point. So for me, instead of 6, I should get 10. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Connor @ #10577: Me too Dumb Cunt (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #19278: Each is the end of a phrase beginning with SHARK. I see. As in 'shark storm'; 'shark bar'; 'shark dollar'; and 'shark shark'. I have to admit I'm not au fait with these terms. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #19290: COUSINS?! COME ON, JELLYLEGS. ROOSEVELT OR JERRY LEWIS WOULD'VE BEEN BETTER CHOICES. (5 years, 7 months ago)

SV @ #19295: As others have said, "Canada" isn't accepted and neither is "Ocean". (5 years, 7 months ago)

bhillo @ #19297: "marine invertebrates" was incorrect.... should it be? (5 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #19284: Neat. Nifty crossovers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dyfarnwr @ #19282: Not a bad wall though I agree it should be Ayers rather than Ayres. Couldn't get Pam Ayres out of my mind! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cork 04 @ #19268: Whoops, I didn't notice there was already one there. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #19292: Explanations need expanding. Didn't accept bolic (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #1379: Great grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19267: The two wordplay lines are very hard, but clever. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19282: Should be "Ayers" I think, and the inconsistency in singular/plural is needlessly confusing. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #19210: eat crow? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #19215: Good fun even to not solve! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #19277: Not good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

nje87 @ #19259: Hi nerd, I realise now that NC is a confusing one and probably should have worked out more unique groups... Apologies, must try harder next time! (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #19261: Good connections, did not get the last one, although I had solved the wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #19264: agree, connections should accept more offers (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lee @ #19252: Just stupid (5 years, 7 months ago)

jrg1199 @ #13463: Excellent puzzle, well crafted and varied. I would have included "animals" in addition to pets in the answer, but the concept overall is great. Well done. (5 years, 7 months ago)

jrg1199 @ #18157: Not bad, deceptively more difficult than I thought. Wasn't expecting two sets with a "ends with" connection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

jrg1199 @ #17577: Good easy wall for beginners. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #423: cALL me ;') (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #15829: Jerry rigging: Jerry rigging is both a noun and a verb describing makeshift repairs made with only the tools and materials at hand. Its origin lies in such efforts done on boats and ships, characteristically sail powered to begin with. But let's just say...I'm jelly rigged ;') (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19268: 2 x Maine. Nice grid though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #18293: Enjoyed, thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19265: I think towns should be acceptable but other than that a nice grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19259: I was sure there were girls names hidden in the words. Just shows it doesn't pay to get fixed on a theory. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #583: Good grid. Full house (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #19259: I found it easy to group them but purely by guessing the states. I had no idea what their link was, or the ships. What's an egg tooth? (5 years, 7 months ago)

nerd @ #19259: Sorry (5 years, 7 months ago)

nerd @ #19259: Spoiler alert - solution is not unique, North Carolina is an Atlantic State and all the states have ships named after them. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ruth @ #19254: This irritated me because apparently boxing champions and island groups are incorrect answers when they patently aren't incorrect (5 years, 7 months ago)

Fenix @ #1396: My first full marks ! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Rich @ #19244: Pretty good but think you copied Tommy2Hands last grid for a couple of them and prefer that grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Weirdness @ #19213: Hilarious!!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Weirdness @ #19215: Awesome grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19258: I forgot to change the default difficulty on this one. I would say it is more of a medium. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19254: Nice grid. Stumped by children's television though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Weirdness @ #19237: Yes (5 years, 7 months ago)

Hmmmm @ #19036: Agree with the others... American and British spellings should be accepted, and herbs should be allowed. It's frustrating to do the puzzle and get low marks for those reasons. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17162: Please re-grade as very easy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17166: Easy grid not medium. Cob salad ? Where do you eat ? Caesar spelling sloppy and came before Augustus the first emperor. All in all pretty poor. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17172: Easy but obscure groups. I'll do one on irregular German verbs and poets in the Codex Manesse. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17187: Should be re-graded as very easy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17201: Re-grade as very easy please. Buld shoddy. Nice to see vermilion spelt correctly. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #17238: Pity the Four candles joke was misused. Locked box ? (5 years, 7 months ago)

@therealsalvulcano @ #19244: lmao murr failed to pass his driving test and drove off a cliff making him tonight's big loser (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #19238: Agree with Andy P, and strangely mine was also 26 seconds. As for General Kenobi, have a group of youngsters found the site recently? Seeing lots of random comments (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #19239: I feel like TomHems and dandruff king may each be having a stroke, or they need help in some other way. Regarding the grid, it was fun but I didn't see any red herrings so solved it quickly. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #17689: cool new connection (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #19240: Misspelt Bismarck, misspelt raisin in an anagram (which could throw the whole group), won't accept "contains relatives" for the relatives group, the answer to the Austin group is nonsensical (I assume these are towns in Texas but it won't accept that), irregular capitalisation... nice idea but really needs work (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #2621: cool connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #19238: Easy but fun, got 10/10 in 26 seconds. Cheers (5 years, 7 months ago)

TimS @ #19027: No problems at all. I just put colours , didn't have to bother with Space. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #18359: Should be re-classed as easy. As for Aster I've never heard of a girl called that. Her and her brother Haemorrh I suppose. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #19226: fun didn't except Super heroes names (5 years, 7 months ago)

:( @ #19206: :( (5 years, 7 months ago)

anonymous123 @ #19140: nice challenge with lots of redherrings which made it more difficult (5 years, 7 months ago)

Nb @ #19213: Maybe the forehead thing is age related. Was a very popular term back in my school days (80s). Junk is a pretty common American term. Maybe you don't watch enough trashy tv. Good grid. Pretty easy but nicely worked (5 years, 7 months ago)

anonymous123 @ #19166: falls should be accepted but otherwise great puzzle. (5 years, 7 months ago)

black sheep @ #19221: very good - fooled me twice... (5 years, 7 months ago)

jpnance @ #19210: Very difficult. I feel like "movies" could be accepted on the third line but I get how you may want more specificity. I don't think I've ever heard of Brave. (5 years, 7 months ago)

jpnance @ #19224: Very nice! I'm sure this plays tougher if you're not from the US like I am. I still had to take a bunch of guesses to get the manufacturers in order. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #423: I didn't say that (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18689: Wouldn't accept South Pole instead of Antarctic (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19226: Lovely. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19221: Very good, I didn't get many points, but looking at the answers, I really should have done. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #19217: More by luck than judgement, but some groups have multiple connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #19221: Good board. Great board. But mustard is already a condiment. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19218: That is definitely a fiendish wall. I had to find out who a few of the items were in order to believe that. (5 years, 7 months ago)

RBR45 @ #19217: Got all the groups - missed one connection, my answer also fit the group. Good grid x (5 years, 7 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #19215: Good fun to solve, thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19201: I had forgotten that Mr Hulk was a footballer and knew nothing of Leto and Wasp, so didn't solve the walls, but did well on the connections and got a score of 4. (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19213: I didn't understand manhood for junk or large forehead for spam, so failed on the walls. The compiler must have a large number of slang terms at his disposal, but I don;'t, so I scored just 4 on the connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19218: I was thinking of the episode New Kids on the Blecch from season 12 Mister Tom which does not involve Milhouse. I'll be honest, I haven't heard of five of them either but they are there to fill the wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19191: Clueless on this one, but recognised the characters from Midsummer Night's Dream, so got just 1 point (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19214: (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19214: I found this very difficult and only managed to score 2 (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19209: I was confused by the wall, but got three of the connections. King Herod was a good red herring (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19178: This seemed reasonably easy until I got to the last four items. I couldn't see any connection and thus only got 8 (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19207: Horrendously difficult. Again, I hadn't heard of 5 of the items, but guessed at policemen when I recognised Mr Plod as a policeman. (5 years, 7 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #19218: Incredibly difficult for me, as I hadn't heard of 5 of the items. However, I guessed correctly about the cheats and so was awarded 1 point. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #19221: Wow. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19213: Don't understand the "large forehead" bit, but got it by elimination. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19179: Ash! Culture! It burns! Fluked my way to 6 (tho would if pressed have guessed Verdi.) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19218: Nice ideas... I think I did pretty well to get 3/10 there. The stump one I'd ever heard of! More to the point, iirc Bart didn't cheat so much as fail to admit what happened to Millhouse. Or.am I thinking of the wrong episode? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Carrion @ #18526: Ponies (5 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #19209: Loved this grid! Difficult but not frustrating answers (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kim @ #19210: I don't see how crow fits but enjoyed the rest (5 years, 7 months ago)

Niggle @ #19163: I disagree actually (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #13306: I put astrophysicists - is that wrong? I think it is almost impossible to put the correct answer in this grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19202: Nice! (5 years, 7 months ago)

BV @ #19209: Ravenscourt Park group are all stations so that should be an accepted answer. Enjoyable grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #19163: There is nothing left to say on the matter (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jan @ #14194: I think you mean demonyms! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19208: Hmmm difficult and a bit fiddly. 2/10 for me. Uk spelling of 'fe***' is 'foe***'. (5 years, 7 months ago)

PC @ #19162: Enjoyable Grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

PL @ #19202: Enjoyable grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #18304: Great grid! Very clever. I went for car not bike tho (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19207: Some of the best red-herrings ever since I knew what everything here is (except Judoon). (5 years, 7 months ago)

me @ #18814: Dancing should count for links for the 3rd line. Tap dancing, square dancing break dancing clog dancing. Not just dance. Otherwise really good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #19198: Twaddle. (5 years, 7 months ago)

jpnance @ #19166: Would definitely like "falls" to be accepted by line 3. (5 years, 7 months ago)

jpnance @ #19178: Kiwish has it almost right. "Wind" is supposed to be a homonym of "whined". Think "wind up a toy", not "the wind is blowing". (5 years, 7 months ago)

RBR45 @ #19191: challenging but doable (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kiwish @ #19178: Try it in a New Zealand accent? Staid =stayed Mint= meant Wind = went Pride = pried Maybe? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19190: Good fun. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19186: I found the capitalization a distraction - maybe that was the idea. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19186: The capitalization issues made this much easier than it was supposed to be. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19158: Nice. (Tho you could have used penny and farthing... ) (5 years, 7 months ago)

gridder @ #48: too easy. took me 22 seconds (5 years, 7 months ago)

Rug @ #19174: All the clues are fair, but two groups in particular are very difficult to get, especially within three minutes. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19191: Pretty sure you can swap oberon and titania (5 years, 7 months ago)

StarAnise @ #17190: easy - but the words didn't match accepted answers. I called the 4 sided shapes group quadrilaterals and it told me I was incorrect, fabric was called incorrect and I spelled colours in UK English rather than US English and was told I was incorrect. Need more terms. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #19184: Nice one. I could see there was some sort of Stoke connection and maybe Euro hosts but couldn't find the groups. All I could see were footballers and countries. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19170: Rather nice. I'm guessing the Morton group took a bit of googling :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19164: Good one. St George's completely threw me, as intended :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Honest lee @ #19182: I was able to get all 4 groups out dry easily without knowing what 3 of them were. That's not how good grids should work (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #365: Nice board, one might say "to cast a line" or " to cast with a rod", but cast a rod? Not so sure... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lal @ #357: Just hard enough to challenge but not too hard (5 years, 7 months ago)

TheOfficialMarkBarlow @ #19182: I agree @bigbarlow60 (5 years, 7 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #19166: Yeah but all of those red herrings are contained in the same group, and the Rabbit Foot clue gives that group away, and as they are the only other lucky charms in the grid, we can eliminate all the crossovers straight away. This was how it played out for me anyway, im sure others had a similar experience. I enjoyed the grid however. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake eater @ #19025: Arithmatic ? Call me orthographically anal-retentive but it's wrong. Otherwise ok. (5 years, 7 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #19154: I seemed to lose my direction. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake eater @ #19036: I agree totally with Omegaman. Snowflakes, if you don't like the truth, just melt. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #19148: Eish.. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19115: I put salutations for the titles - perhaps Mx is for a non gender specific person? (5 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #19154: Have to agree, beat me on the last two.. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake eater @ #19140: Dumb is an adjective , the others are nouns and therefore synonyms for idiot . (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19095: Very enjoyable - makes you think more than some others. (5 years, 7 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #19163: I agree with Jo (5 years, 7 months ago)

Beth @ #19170: Super hard, love the use of a red herring group (5 years, 7 months ago)

TimS @ #19171: For some reason I put add a letter and it didn't accept it. Apart from that excellent grid (thumbs up) (5 years, 7 months ago)

HD @ #19153: Good (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #19170: Totally stumped me. Nice grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

jo @ #19163: (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19166: I agree with OSSIEP9 But I wish there were some red herrings / crossovers. Lack of, made it easier (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19166: Could do with "Falls" being accepted but none the less an enjoyable grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19162: Mixing the cryptic and standard clues is a bit weird, but I do suppose it worked. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #19147: This is a grid for nerds!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #5005: good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

T3Z @ #19142: Very tough wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

HH @ #19116: Quite easy but nice grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #19155: Good grid. Went down a 'colours' route, and missed the obvious ones. Matty, a chain smoker will chain smoke. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #19155: Never heard of chain smoke, heard of chain smoker, but fun grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19140: Found this very straightforward: The Deacon group is a bit of a old friend, and the elements that are elementsd are too obviously not anything else. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #19155: Good grid, enjoyed it (5 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #19148: good level of difficulty (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #19154: Got some of the connections but the one with Star is too difficult (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #15852: some really clever misconnections, some words seem to fit into three categories. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #12138: Nice to have clearcut connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19144: al...Take scope?? Nice grid....I am particular annoyed I didn't get the Get Here group, I've belted it out and joined in, in the car often enough (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #19146: Tricky.... (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19148: I had three of the groups but still couldn't solve it......Good work! (5 years, 7 months ago)

martin @ #311: Company, division and unit are groups of soldiers, battery is kind of a gun emplacement, isn't it? so not quite the same thing (5 years, 7 months ago)

martin @ #294: This was much better than all words before or after. The clangers was magnificently obscure. I didn't know chicken and handbag, but dolly and lallies were enough for polari (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jimmy @ #19143: Score : 7/10 time remaining 0:57 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Liz @ #10172: Northern powerhouse ? Eh ? (5 years, 7 months ago)

al @ #19144: Good, hard one. I do think that the charities connection has another connection. All four clues are things you can take. (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #19142: I thought Trotsky was assassinated but after checking he could also be described as being executed. After his exile he was tried *in absentia* and sentenced to death. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lal @ #18815: Terrific (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #919: Excellent grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19125: Ingenious! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19131: A clever grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19132: A couple of rather obscure categories! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19141: Enjoyable and not too hard. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19142: Who are Bill and Ted?? I found this interesting, but there are too many ways to connect the French characters. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #19138: Best so far for me, forgot Zoot, Honeydew a brilliant red herring. (5 years, 7 months ago)

LauDave @ #19142: Note from the creator: Sorry. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #18763: Give more options for the connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #18979: good, but the connections should not be expected to be in capital letters, that is crazy, do not enter them as case sensitive. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #18978: Good call! (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #18994: the connections make little sense even after they are explained. They feel a bit random. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19138: Some fun connections! Putting Jack in that group is debatable though, I think. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Coochies @ #19111: Love the Coldplay reference (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19138: I realised a moment after posting that Dr Honeydew is spelled incorrectly. It should be Bunsen. Shouldn't affect the grid though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #19106: Becomes easier once the first connection is known (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #19133: fun to do (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19132: That appears to be a tough grid for a lot of people. Thanks for that. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #16950: good job, some connections out of left field. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19130: If you are a Whovian, which I'm not. this may make sense. Otherwise it makes no sense. Far to specialised (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #18952: Ah. Who remembers the Labour Party? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Julie @ #19115: I'd like to see the correct 'connections' (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #19106: Good grid. 10/10 but I have to admit that I gave myself 4 minutes instead of 3. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kevin J. Maroney @ #19112: I knew what 3 of the categories were but couldn't guess the names you were looking for on two of them ("Best Picture Winners" and "Film Production Jobs"), which is frustrating. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo62 @ #19095: Pure class as always. (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #19125: i take my revenge cold, but sweet grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tig @ #19125: Nice satisfying grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

QP @ #18941: Great grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Artemis48 @ #19115: Hello, good easy grid but there's an error in the blue group - Mx not Mrs (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #18784: Might as well have "bee tolls" (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #18813: Good grid -medium spot on (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #18814: Well made puzzle (5 years, 7 months ago)

Twee @ #7852: Good (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19111: Too hard for me but a sound grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

QP @ #18950: Need to broaden the marking -The 'sword, way, band and side 'group are also all homophones. (Sawed, weigh, banned and sighed) Good grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oatcake Eater @ #18973: 8 clues involving hot ridiculous (5 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #19117: Fairly easy to get the groups. Could not get the link in the last martingale group (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19090: Yeah three of the four groups made sense, mind you the real names of two people have been put in for extra thinking. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19123: made no sense at all (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19103: Five of each item links here which one of them must belong in another category. Five stars. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Martin @ #283: This, like so many of the grids here, suffers in that all of the categories are of the same type, with an additional linking word. It would be nice if only one or two of the groups were of this type (5 years, 7 months ago)

QP @ #18966: Great grid. I solved it but it took me longer than 3 minutes too! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19117: Got 4 groups fairly quickly Blue group fell in to place as had no idea what a martingale was. Learn something new every day. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19116: Fairly easy. but an enjoyable grid to solve (5 years, 7 months ago)

Newbie @ #15907: Nice red herrings. Couldn’t get Boxing Day out of my head (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19120: Far too easy. And no red herrings. Red group. Not wrong to put Synonyms for beautiful. but putting Complimentary would of been better (5 years, 7 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #19106: Quality. Thank you. (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #19106: Great! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #18308: It was fun but I gotta agree that I use the USA tag to specifically not get cricket trivia. It is completely alien to the USA. (5 years, 7 months ago)

MK @ #16944: I like the Spice Girls red herring, although I didn't see a fourth one, so it was a bit easy to guess it was a red herring. Throwing in "Gilligan's" made it way too easy to guess those characters. (5 years, 7 months ago)

MK @ #17553: Good red herrings (5 years, 7 months ago)

MK @ #18061: Didn't accept movie genre (5 years, 7 months ago)

MK @ #18647: Ear hustle seems to just be a podcast? Not really a great clue if so. (5 years, 7 months ago)

🦆 @ #18924: Beta test for user seemed a bit of a stretch? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19043: The princesses are also girl's names so that should be accepted too. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #19096: Does it accept 'finch'? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19036: Solved it in 29 seconds but then got 2 incorrect - one because I spelt colours in UK English instead of US and the other because I was supposed to guess the herbs were the words from Scarborough Fair not just herbs. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Johnny @ #19113: The Porsche set could also just be 3-digit numbers staying with a 9. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19113: The UK head of state has no known number here and does not live at number 10. Apart from the odd mistake, the rest were generally well searched for. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19090: That was quite tricky here. When I hovered the explanation of the TV link, I only know of Noel Edmonds doing it. The Lee Ryan group is a bit bizarre though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19106: Very clever and do-able too. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

You @ #359: Good one (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #19113: A PM is not head of state (5 years, 7 months ago)

alicoo @ #19095: Great (5 years, 7 months ago)

🦆 @ #19106: Nicely done! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #19106: Quite clever i suppose. I got groups right, at least. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19103: A grid I was stumped on but the explanations revealed here helped. (5 years, 7 months ago)

You @ #10981: Great theme (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19095: A masterpiece. You get one of my gold stars. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #19105: Bill/Check and Accelerator/Gas are interchangeable here, so I don't think those quite work for that group. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19105: a...You are looking at it back to front. I was not referring to cheques, I was referring to bills as in ,"can I have the bill please waiter" in the UK, and "can I have the check please waiter" in the US. The PaSch....fair comment I did rush it a bit as I was on a coffee break. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Y @ #4613: Good one (5 years, 7 months ago)

TG @ #19106: Very enjoyable (5 years, 7 months ago)

Y @ #15481: Great grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #19089: Nice. Plenty of red herrings! (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #19105: They're "cheques" in the UK, not "checks" (5 years, 7 months ago)

ThePaSch @ #19084: Really tough one. Enjoyed it! (5 years, 7 months ago)

a$$hole @ #19083: Alarch J you get a point for "pass" for the ass group because it has "ass" in it James P you just butthurt you couldn't get the groups (5 years, 7 months ago)

ThePaSch @ #19089: Enjoyed this one. Got the third group by process of elimination, but couldn't identify the Kite one. Good stuff. (5 years, 7 months ago)

ThePaSch @ #19094: Extremely unsure what it wanted me to type in for the Audience group. Also feel a bit cheated by the fact that it didn't accept "roles" for the Hero group. (5 years, 7 months ago)

ThePaSch @ #19105: A bit miffed that it didn't accept "british" for the Accelerator group, Otherwise a bit too easy for my taste, but good going. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Evelyn Wilson @ #19104: nice to see my hometown, Alloa and our neighbour Stirling get a mention👍 (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #19084: Made it with 2 seconds to spare. Good grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

puzzlefinch @ #19095: Great range of clue types - really good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #19094: Done and dusted in 27 seconds (5 years, 7 months ago)

TG @ #19095: Good fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #19099: same as same as (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #19095: Very fun with good links, nice to see a cryptic grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #19099: the connections cannot work at all, if you have trees, but not with a capital letter, it is not accepted. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #19099: same as other comments, gave the right answers but no points for connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19077: It has been some years since I last saw the film but does Stitch fit into that category? I thought he was rather more exotic than that. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19095: Good one.....not sure the grammar Police will be too pleased with 'Boat Trailer' but I am not going to make a fuss....I enjoyed that one! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19099: Ditto JPs comment........I think maybe the selection boxes were not completed by the compiler?? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19073: An excellent grid. The only thing I would say is that there isn't mush to be gained by revealing the crossovers in your answers, it takes away some of the fun in figuring them out. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19095: loved it. Big thumbs up (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #19086: I agree with the above, three good groups and one that doesn't make any sense. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #16985: 10/10 in 1:32,,rats! (5 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #16950: The break is the amount a putt moves from right to left, or left to right, on a green. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #19099: Nice gird, but having solved all the groups it didn't give me the points for knowing the connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

x @ #19067: Actually Warrington was in Lancashire when Chris Evans was born.Still too vague to be a good group - there are thousands of people with those names born in all kinds of places. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ted @ #19095: Thoroughly enjoyable (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptician @ #19095: Sneaky little apostrophe - my absolute bugbear! *hangs head in shame* (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19079: Yes I was thinking of Charlotte's Web since there's a pig on the cover. It should have been Wilbur though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #13712: silly (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #11502: Très bien! Je j'aime beaucoup. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cb @ #1564: Nonsense (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #19000: I put dictionary publishers and that was not accepted but the fragrances had me beat. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18996: Well thought out. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19045: No problem with two Bakers as both Tom and Colin have played Dr Who. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18995: Don't think provisions fits with that group but put that they are all things you pay for. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18987: Yes relatives should be accepted for family members. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18986: Good! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18986: God grid thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

RS @ #19045: Agree with other comments but very enjoyable grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19085: Three of the groups here were simple to spot, the fourth one made some sense in the way that the sequence of numbers match the ones on the calculators. The strong possibility is rediculous, I highly doubt it will happen. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19086: J - yes, the group with 'queen' is not as good as other links however the others are fine. I'd certainly say "let the challenge begin" was a good phrase to one of the entries on this wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19088: To be fair, I didn't know who Freestone was either. I also miss Orville, he was cute. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #19085: The 'time' group let down an otherwise solvable quiz (5 years, 7 months ago)

CrAmy @ #19079: Can't find a Charlotte the pig - are you thinking of Charlotte's Web? Because the pig in that was called Wilbur. Charlotte was a spider. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #13751: battles not accepted - sigh (5 years, 7 months ago)

HO Wills @ #19088: Very good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19053: Yep. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19085: Err, the "strong possibility" - it will never happen. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19086: Queen - uncommon. That should be replaced with something else which fits into that category. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19081: No red herrings / crossovers (5 years, 7 months ago)

Y @ #14986: Enjoyable (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #19086: I can see why Only Connect is in Blue group. but to be honest I agree with J. It is ludicrous. The other 3 groups are fine. (5 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #19086: Thanks but the duos group is ridiculous (5 years, 7 months ago)

James P @ #19083: Childish. 1 star (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19084: Two points for the right names of the connections, I was thinking of what could go with Rialto but ran out of time. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19083: What makes the word 'pass' score you one point - I didn't know any connections so typed that in all of them. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19082: Only one group I definitely knew, the rest others will know but not me. Cheers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19067: The answer to odere - I was thinking of Chris Evans the presenter from Lancashire however Warrington is in the wrong place. Iggy was right to point that out along with the latter Steel mentioned (Hollie). The Lancashire group is not 100% correct here, whoops. p.s. I would never have any Brexit connections on any of my walls though Corbyn I have heard of as one of the famous people with that name. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19081: Agreed with all the connections here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19080: There is definitely a small error with one of the entries here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch J @ #19079: That's one good grid there even though I did not know what Plopper is. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #19080: 11.12 is not a palindrome clever idea for a wall tho (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #19073: pretty easy but I enjoyed it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19067: What everyone else said about the birthplace group. Having Corbyn on the grid though, that was a master stroke. I spent half the time looking for 3 other nasty, Brexiting, anti-Semitic, hypocritical, useless, indolent twats who only got 2 grade Es at ‘A Level’, and yet think they have the intellectual ability to be Prime Minister. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19071: Thanks for the grid Molsen. Not for the first time I died on the altar of American popular culture. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19073: Classic 5,5,5,5 grid. So 5* from me. Wouldn’t affect any answers given but strictly speaking, 19th Century isn’t correct. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #18984: Google?it does exist. Good grid methinks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19072: Thanks for the puzzle Rzeki. Enjoyable but not an OC wall really, so I only went for 3*; it’s more a test of a certain field of knowledge. It was a test to which my knowledge was not up. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Owllover123 @ #19075: It not that hard if you know different sharks (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #13806: proceeded is the wrong word. if you mean before it is preceded and if you mean after as you did here then just say followed by or suffixed. grids are satisfying if the accepted answers are well thought out, pertinent and checked for wrong spelling. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Harry Speakup @ #19057: Festival should be an answer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Harry Speakup @ #19072: Impossible to solve through reason, logic or inference. You know them or you’re guessing. I enjoyed failing though! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Harry Speakup @ #19073: Very funny and creative, but easy to solve. (5 years, 7 months ago)

fnoo @ #19072: (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #19053: 10/10 so clearly I liked it. : ) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18984: The sick group are just synonyms of each other so synonyms should be accepted. Never heard Norn Iron as a term - think you made it up! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19066: Usually I'm not a fan of the Queen of Spades in that card game but that along with the other entries in that group got me towards getting full score here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18980: I saw the almost animals but thought the answer couldn't be as crass as that and none of the titles are monarchs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19067: That Evans which the submitter I think was talking about was born in Cheshire but there is an obscure one which is not verified on Wikipedia so this may be dodgy. I also had to look up the Steel clue as well and found two - A.G. is before anyone's time and Hollie were both from the county. And then the Take Me Out presenter and the red-herring portrayer completes the group? The other groups you'd either know them or you don't (5 years, 7 months ago)

giggsy @ #19067: Not great groups. Especially Evans. Very vague (5 years, 7 months ago)

odere @ #19036: could anyone offering trolling and unhelpful comments please stop, and maybe leave the website instead. Good try with the grid - Scarborough Fair group could also just be herbs. (5 years, 7 months ago)

odere @ #19067: Can you let me know more details about the lancashire group? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19054: Known what the links Candela and Otto are, the other two I had no idea. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #19057: Technically, isn't the Thames at Oxford called the Isis? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #19051: Don't normally like ones with too many obvious surnames but this was fun. ( But, no room for Jack Hobbs?) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19045: It's all been said. Nice grid though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #13951: whiskies not accepted - tsk tsk (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #13980: quark is nonsense (5 years, 7 months ago)

OATCAKE EATER @ #18805: 8 Christian names - that's no puzzgrid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

koshatnik @ #19025: Enjoyed this one - thanks for setting it! @Bindipper: Snowy is a red herring for the Murrumbidgee group (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tyson @ #16053: Just kidding, it was still fun. But really, isn't it the Florida Marlins, not the Miami Marlins? :D (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tyson @ #16053: Jay, this one SUCKS. How can you NOT know that the MARLINS are from FLORIDA, NOT MIAMI!!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OATCAKE EATER @ #19028: 12 proper nouns are too many. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OATCAKE EATER @ #19042: Kinell (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19056: A fictional wall bar two entries. However this is a real wall to answer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #6140: Abbadon is a pseudonym for Jesus, not the devil (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19027: Rainbow should be acceptable here as well as the description here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alexander Fleming @ #17240: Brilliant. Top marks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18974: Found the route to success here once the first group was found. Did not get maximum though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18940: I don't think it's that stupid or a (p)take. The F group does take me back now I've revisited this wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18934: Two similar walls with different links. This one would be scoring more points for most people. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Anne @ #583: I also said stereo so it didn’t give me the points (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18919: You'd need luck for this - I had 2 points. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Anne @ #19027: Clue should be accepted in the Cluedo category as it is part of the word and also the name of the game in the US (5 years, 7 months ago)

Valerie @ #18611: Do you work in a Patisserie? (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19028: I didn't even get close to solving this one....although I suspected cars were in there somewhere..👍 (5 years, 7 months ago)

peddars @ #19027: Think rainbow should have been accepted as an answer (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #19017: Interesting! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OATCAKE EATER @ #1708: Salesman not an anagram. Fowel not a word. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19051: Nice. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #19042: Good grid, but I was lead astray by the hidden group "red _____" (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #19045: Good grid, but should accept "surnames and professions". Lots of synonyms for jobs. (5 years, 7 months ago)

boo-urns @ #19046: terrible. Including personal preferences? How is anyone supposed to know that? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18995: Someone leaving comments on my behalf I see below. Bit wanky. Fun grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Johnny @ #19021: Really liked this one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chaser @ #19036: please die - I hope that your name is self-fulfilling! I can only assume you found the quiz too difficult (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #19050: 3 easy rows, 1 stupendously difficult. Also should have accepted Airport names. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Nicetea @ #519: laboRAtory vs laBOratory methinks Jeni (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mr. Puzzle @ #19042: Does anyone actually know the types of quark? I prefer the bartender from DS9 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #19043: A very good constructive wall you've done. I would be proud of that (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mr. Puzzle @ #19045: Occupations should count for the butcher etc group. Including both bakers was sneaky! (5 years, 7 months ago)

antelope @ #19036: wrote colours instead of colors and got it wrong :( (5 years, 7 months ago)

nerd @ #19045: Two bakers in this grid. Is that legal? (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19047: I would open a book on Betfair on who will be the first to point out the obvious about 'sky'. But your mother already knows. :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

MendraMarie @ #19045: I said professions Surely that counts. (5 years, 7 months ago)

MendraMarie @ #19028: Ey up duck - excellent puzzle. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BwB @ #6177: Must have been amended by now as all my answers were correct and I put Battles for one and Tube stations for another (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mr. Puzzle @ #19021: Nice grid, good categories (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mr. Puzzle @ #19036: Unfortunately "colour" is spelled the American way, so I was marked wrong for that group. Also looks like a potential Labour member has shown up in these comments (5 years, 7 months ago)

rvan @ #19032: great (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19038: Great grid here. Should have spotted one quicker though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19037: Fine grid. I was thinking of one thing and instead get four different links altogether. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19036: Apart from the Mustard link the rest I was stumped on. I wonder how well others fare (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19033: Same as numbers 19031 and 19030. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19035: Good grid here with five of one thing in three of the categories. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19031: I think you've submitted it twice. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19030: Got two points by seeing the links after autosolve. You'd know if there were any red-herrings here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

beforan @ #19028: nice surprise to see NG represented. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19029: Some guesswork from me, I knew what Homer and Gala were but the rest needs thinking. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19027: Moderately fine with the red-herrings 100% known (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19026: Identified a rew red-herrings on this puzzle and made numerous attempts to find the links. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Xel @ #17747: Thought all the giant words were ships because of Titanic. Silly me! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19029: Had me totally stumped........nice work! (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #19025: A fine grid - excellent if the Murrumbidgee group has a red herring (who knows?). Blind eye to the spelling mistake. :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19025: Not easy peasy Japaneasy for me...I didn't know that God forsaken barren wasteland full of nasty things trying to kill one, had any rivers!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19017: Explanation - do you mean m-sc-t? (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14134: not that famous (5 years, 7 months ago)

Hiro @ #19025: Easy peasy japaneasy (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #19020: Come on feel the noize! Great gridding, you're definitely getting your Cuppa Soup. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #19021: Got the Capitals and Stylish then struggled...so a big groan from me for the Marx Brothers solution....good grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19017: Fun grid, well done (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #19013: Never heard of 'Doug'!! Other categories good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16533: look at us. just a couple of jellylegs laughing. i love it! (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #19013: Haven't heard of Doug in years! nice grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18915: AK has already snatched them Aardvark. Sorry but here, you can have a midget gem. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #19011: @edwardo Star was a last minute change, now that you point it out it is obvious. School boy error. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19004: Impossible grid to have all entries the same. The answers are obviously going to be 'X', 'X', 'X' and 'X' for all of them and the answers don't match any. 0/10 will be the common score. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #18915: Cadel Evans, Chris Boardman, Chris Froome, Dan or Tony Martin - male pro cyclists. Can I have my points please :) ! (5 years, 7 months ago)

falcon7777 @ #114: very good (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #19011: Groups were straightforward to get once one fell into place. Otherwise a good grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

S.S. @ #18974: Good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #566: clever and fair (5 years, 7 months ago)

S.S. @ #18987: Quite neat (5 years, 7 months ago)

edwardo @ #19011: "Hover" and "Star" could swap into the other's category easily, probably forming more common answers than they currently do. (5 years, 7 months ago)

S.S. @ #18995: I think the "fare"etc group and "directors"etc group were rather loosely defined. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #18995: While I liked the grid and like the theme you may want to expand the list of acceptable answers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18994: You'd either know them or you don't. Someone here should get Max Points. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #19003: Numbers which means anything until these ones which have definitions I'd never knew about. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18991: Only good if you're in the Prior Family. Pretty poor for everybody else. (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #19000: Yep..I was marked incorrect for dictionary and for Prime Ministers. * sigh* (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #6613: good connections, again hard to get them right, if you do not stumble on the exact formulation the setter has chosen (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #6618: good connections, but impossible to get the points for them, unless you happened to use exactly the wording the categories were described as, this is highly unlikely (5 years, 7 months ago)

jefco @ #18995: Pretty clever! (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #19004: troll spotted (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dumb Cunt @ #10577: Me feel smart now (5 years, 7 months ago)

Borey @ #18055: 'Omlet' is not but 'omelet' is. I'm not sure 'omlet' is a standard spelling. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18947: Lost me completely as I'm not into girl group surnames or losing talent show entrants but guessed Joe for the Joe group and got incorrect! So a zero score instead of 1. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18932: Great grid thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

🦆 @ #18878: Yep, Buddy Cop shows/movies: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BuddyCopShow (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18950: :)) I don’t think I’d lose any sleep over it Ossie. They’re probably correct but the social skills on here at times are cringeworthy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #11102: The name Shen Yun means the beauty of divine jellylegs dancing, and that is what the audience experiences. Shen Yun now has six equally large jellylegs that tour the world simultaneously, bringing an all-new performance of dance, costumes, animated backdrops, singing, legs(jelly), and music to over 150 theaters every year. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #11097: For 5,000 years, divine jellylegs flourished in the land of China. Through breathtaking music and dance (and jellylegs!), Shen Yun is bringing back this glorious culture! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #11650: Listen, Jellylegs. I don't want to tell you twice, but it's KIWI. K? Chinese Kiwi. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16308: very nicesu, jellyleg-san! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18995: board THIS, jellylegs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #19001: okay, jellylegs. you got me this time! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #19000: Allow singular versions, jellylegs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18997: I have amended this puzzle with the addition of more accepting link terms, now on puzzle 19003. You should get points from the website for typing the links in. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Laurence @ #18981: Roy LICHENstein! POW WHAM (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #8165: good grid. we got 3 / 4 connections. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Laurence @ #18989: This is too hard and boring (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #15862: class (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18950: Good grid, got there 2 with 2 seconds to spare. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18980: Pope Alexander - there are eight of them but those are not their real names unlike Alexander Pope and the others in the category. (5 years, 7 months ago)

skystorm @ #18979: thank you..I did just put oil and pie...but knowing me possibly put them in the wrong box...:(. Thanks for all of the encouraging comments from all of you. I will do another one later..especially for you BinDipper..:) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18994: Some tricky connections here, especially the Max Power group. Had to search for a few (e.g. Radioactive Man) to see why. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18972: Honduras definitely fits it's category of four. The birthplace of Victor Moses - I thought that is a capital city. (5 years, 7 months ago)

boo-urns @ #18973: "Hot" incorrect for film category? And a seperate category for Hot non-movies? Feels sloppy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18979: Good advice from BD, and a good grid too. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18950: Blimey....I didn't think these grids were taken THAT seriously!!??....I'll try harder in future! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cheese @ #18984: Good grid! Enjoyed the Gross group :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18840: Knotted = Twisted = Mixed Up = Silver is an anagram of Livers. Great grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18992: no "trousers"? (5 years, 7 months ago)

boo-urns @ #18980: Author category is weak for obvious reasons. Also what "a" said about Pope. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tommy @ #18992: Too easy (5 years, 7 months ago)

You @ #9214: I like a theme (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18972: It's not my kind of grid where everything is of the same type but what's wrong with Honduras? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18972: Honduras? I don't think so. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #18992: Easy grid, but struggled with connections, didn't except Jeans, guessed Geordies, sorry Macams (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18979: But take no notice of the habitual moaners and whingers. Just think of them as Brexiters doing what Brexiters do. :-D (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18979: Another example - "They are all synonyms for fat". If you put 'syn', and 'mean', and 'same' in the keyword box, you probably don't need to write all the synonyms themselves down. The person answering should hit the answer just by saying 'They're synonyms' or 'They mean the same' or 'They're the same as...'. Hope that helps a bit. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18979: If you use a tense let's say the past-tense and the link is 'All the things are played' - if you just put 'played' in the little box, anyone writing 'playing' or 'plays' or even just 'play' will be marked wrong. Solution is to put the shortest version of a word, or even part of a word that they wouldn't write by accident. In this case, 'play' or even just 'pla' will do it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18979: There are two bits - the bit that everyone sees, where you explain what the link is. As long as that makes sense the wording is irrelevant. It's in that other box (the small one) where it really matters. If you use the plural there you're likely to trip people up. So if you put 'oils' then people writing 'oil' will be marked as incorrect. More to follow... (5 years, 7 months ago)

skystorm @ #18979: Bindipper..thanks..I am not sure how else to do the links there..they say keep it brief..any help would be welcome ..what would have been better to put ? (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18980: Did you mean Alexander Pope? Pope Alexander doesn't have a title in his name, he just has a title. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18982: Too monolithic IMO... basically "sort the actors" (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #18987: A nice grid though you may want to look a bit more carefully at acceptable answers in future. Relatives should work in my opinion. Hardly the end of the world though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18987: No "relatives" for the family group or "storm" for the weather group? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Petedub @ #18986: Nice wall, thankyou. Me and Wendy enjoyed playing it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18979: The grid is fine Sky but your linking terms aren't. Both pie and oil were marked as incorrect. Are you pluralising in the keywords? :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

skystorm @ #18939: hi thanks for the feedback...I put National Anthem because of the Sex Pistols track God save the Queen...it's the first one I submitted so I hope to improve .... (5 years, 7 months ago)

DSU1985 @ #2748: Enjoyed it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18942: Disagree about the Swindon group. It's one of those you either know or you don't, which come up quite frequently on the TV show. Some lines are meant to be obscure, that's the point. Knowledge based rather than 'generally guessable' (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan Brown @ #18980: Well that's hurtful (5 years, 7 months ago)

DSU1985 @ #1110: Never heard of Jack fruit or bread fruit! (5 years, 7 months ago)

ds @ #18979: For the machine group, I had 'Green' as the connection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

DSU1985 @ #18965: (5 years, 7 months ago)

DSU1985 @ #18954: Good red herrings for the Cartman one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18981: Must confess Ru Paul winners was never going to come into my train of thought even though I did watch it....I don't find them attractive, but your mind plays tricks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Amos @ #18940: Is this a piss take? Stupid (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18957: Thanks Ossie. I’m now trialing 4 rectangles (arranged so they are in each corner of a page). They each have double arrows pointing from them to each of the other three rectangles. The clues that can only fit in one link go inside the rectangle, the clues that form the crossovers go on the arrows. I’ll see if that works better. On the other subject, give praise to YouTube. The penguins and many other games can still be seen there. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Baz @ #18950: Boo (5 years, 7 months ago)

Homeo @ #18950: No, it is nothing like saying that. JP's point is 100% valid especially when you are purposefully using words like Jam as a misdirect. You can't then say 'it's not Jam on Bread - it's 'The' Jam, the band. But it's not The peanut butter' - can't have it both ways (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mick @ #12814: Quickest wall I’ve ever done. Under 1 minute (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18957: I am still new to this but I am having most success when I try to do a list of 4 (at least) red herrings down the page and then work away from that. And for the record..I concur on Stuart Hall....memories of a very funny TV show, and of roaring with laughter watching it with my long departed Nan have been sadly sullied. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18964: Very very good...I got the 'points' connection but confess I got bogged down in it being one group of ascending points...you done me up like a kipper!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18974: Cunning..very cunning..throw in an easy peasy group to lull us into a false sense of security then hit us with some toughies.....good work! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18978: Had me totally stumped...Well played! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18939: Words from UK national anthem was not accepted and how we were expected to work out the glass of champagne connection to the other clues in that set I have no idea. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18939: Words from UK national anthem was not accepted and how we were expected to work out the glass of champagne connection to the other clues in that set I have no idea. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18897: Wouldn't accept spoon??? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #355: Not correct for the word 'perfect' is annoying (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18866: I think church services should be accepted. The Grisham novels was a good connection which I didn't think of. (5 years, 7 months ago)

skystorm @ #18950: enjoyed this..:) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #351: Burden?, carry? (5 years, 7 months ago)

skystorm @ #18974: clever..I failed..:) (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18957: Cheers 4by4. I’ve been wondering if, instead of lists, a kind of 4 section Venn diagram might be worth making but I can’t picture how it would work. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pamela @ #18434: I like his belt (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #4830: Great grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #4832: Brilliant grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #4835: Enjoyable grid, thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18952: Very topical........ (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #18966: Challenging but enjoyable grid. Found two groups and somehow managed to find all four connections. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18950: In.my defense JP..isn't that a bit like saying groups of surnames don't work without the forenames? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Smacmahon @ #18960: Great grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17386: Shoulda allowed "fire" in the redundant one, Jellylegs. (5 years, 7 months ago)

4by4 @ #18957: Probably down to personal preference. I make 4 lists each with a title. If a word/element fits in more than one list I enter it in each applicable list. When each word/element has been selected for a specific list I put a tick next it. If that word/element occurs in another list I put a cross next to it. Repeat the process until each list has 4 ticks. Finally I check all selected words/elements in each list against all selected words/elements in the other lists (to determine if they are interchangeable) in an attempt to avoid a grid with more than one solution but I can still get caught out through my own ignorance - someone will usually spot it if you do not! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18866: If I type in "lawyer," it should accept it. Please read the rules, jellylegs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18874: Dude, please use the non plural version in your keywords. Come on, Jellylegs. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18971: The Devil group stumped me and got 7/10. Then of course it was a famous item. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18966: Well I thoroughly enjoyed that. But it took me a wee bit longer than the 3 minutes Had to do a screen save. But top marks from me. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17951: more than one herring - a proper fish stew! Excellent. (5 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #18955: Too naughty for a boring old fart like me (5 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #18942: Fair enough, but Swindon group too obscure to be generally guessable (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptician @ #1708: Skystorm... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/news-etymology/ (5 years, 7 months ago)

knj @ #15252: You didn't accept Shakespeare? (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18900: First one of the "all names" grids I've been able to solve! (5 years, 7 months ago)

skystorm @ #1708: clever but NEWS means North East West South i.e. Stories from all points of the compass..not new stories..Named by an American Broadcasting Company (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18888: It's Kill Bill not Killing Bill. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18949: These four presidents had one thing in common here. One point can be awarded for saying "presidents" since they have been. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18867: Davids works on that link, I'd say you can award one point for David on this wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

MATT DEE @ #6833: PLEASE ADD RELATIVES TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS GROUP (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptician @ #18966: Lamp is an anagram of Lamp!?! You know what I mean!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #18950: The bands group doesn't work as some have a "the" and some do not. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18941: Sly-1 is indeed brilliant. A real slow bullet that hit me as I was filling the kettle about an hour afterwards (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18939: A Glass of Champagne was a truly awful single by q truly awful kitsch 70s band called Sailor. Don't Google it, once seen it can't be unseen. Toe curlingly bad. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptician @ #18941: I'll start putting in more explanations in future. Fryer as in Frying Pan. Original clue should have been Fryer's Tool but I must have cut it short when typing. Apologies. The literal English translation Guillermo del Toro is William of the Bull. He directed Pan's Labyrinth. Learner drivers often stall the cars they drive (if manual of course). Poker slang for a King is Cowboy. Low Tiger Shot is a golf shot called a punch. Tiger is a clue to the golfer Tiger Woods. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Angela @ #18939: The last group of sailors where does the glass of champagne fit !! (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18957: In the absence of a forum, a question here: When you make grids do you use a diagram and mark on the red herrings somehow, or do you just do lists? I write 4 lists with the ones that will fit in more than one group in capital letters but it’s not very elegant. I want a better way to do it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #18939: Some good bits, but wouldn't allow 'National Anthem', which is what 'God save the Queen' is, and don't get the sailor group at all! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #18897: Good but very easy! (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #4832: two groups too similar, and it's "whipped cream" not "whipping cream" (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #1508: y u no let me have "movies", "Renaissance English politicians" or "European languages"? (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18922: y u no let me have "crockery" or "cutlery" (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18937: Brasilia is spelt wrong and it won't accept "Australia" (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18941: Really good idea, but some of the clues don't quite work or I don't understand them even after getting links (fryer for pan? will of the bull's maze - I'm guessing this is pan's labyrinth, but there's no bull in that, and it's the same Pan as the deity? why is learner's bane "stall"? what's a poker king or a tiger shot?) (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18949: we're not allowed "presidents"? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18867: David not accepted as noted by sd below. (5 years, 7 months ago)

kenb68 @ #18941: It took about an hour for the Sly-1 to click. Good one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

kenb68 @ #18941: It took about an hour for the Sly-1 to click. Good one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mrd @ #10387: Tried some earlier and we couldn't do them. We had a break, made love and then scored 10/10 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Monvrod @ #131: Hebradies is rarely distinguished inner and outer (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kiffin777 @ #5633: Beautiful (5 years, 7 months ago)

JSB @ #18410: I am at a loss with some of you people (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18937: Accurate connections from you there, very well done. I found no mistakes here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #18942: You'd have to be from Swindon to get those (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #18941: Could do with some explanation for some of these. Quiz's quality suffers as a result of it not being provided imo (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18947: Great surname grid there but for me only four points. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18944: Some crossovers I would be proud of. (5 years, 7 months ago)

FizzyFi @ #12023: Fairly easy - but nice to have something not too taxing sometimes. Fun. Thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

FizzyFi @ #12814: Very good. Didn’t actually spot GABON but got the rest of the countries & all other groups - so feeling quite smug. More like this please. Celebratory G&T beckons. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #48: Great pal (5 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #4582: Great man (5 years, 7 months ago)

alicoo @ #18821: 1st time I've given a 5 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Frankie @ #18933: Far to random (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #18344: Stop moaning (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18934: First round wall only if this is on the show. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18889: Oops, thanks to Clue for pointing that out. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18915: Thanks to BinDipper for clearing King up. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18927: Stumped on trying to find the connections, didn't find any, when it came to the auto-solve, I've spotted them. Also they are all places in England. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18933: Err Toad, check how many letters are in Toronto... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18940: One of the toughest grids I have faced. These connections too are of top draw, only one I've perfectly answered. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Gms @ #18939: Typed in chocolate... incorrect Typed in god save the queen... incorrect Otherwise I liked it (5 years, 7 months ago)

Gms @ #18941: Sly-1 is possibly the best clue I’ve seen... still didn’t get it. Was thinking stallon, whatever that is? 😀 (5 years, 7 months ago)

black sheep @ #18941: challenging - fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

Gms @ #18942: Loved it (5 years, 7 months ago)

WhoDis? @ #17563: Marked me incorrect for 'musicians with one word names' (5 years, 7 months ago)

Nicetea @ #18821: Fun one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18917: 1/10 because I knew Cyrus Christie... (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18913: Nice grid. Stumped with the ones you hold. (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18939: Sorry, what's the glass of champagne one? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #18923: One of the better ones (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18820: I was almost there but I was timed out on the 5:20 connection and did not get perfection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18810: I'd give myself a point for the 17 group since I've typed it in exactly and says it's incorrect. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18800: These are consecutive too but I'm happy with the answers even though I spotted a small error in one of your links. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Daisy @ #18934: Too obvious (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18934: Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18805: Spotted the Gary connection within half a minute. The others needed a bit of thinking. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Daisy @ #18927: Got me thinking it was too hard and then the penny dropped! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18817: Got 1 March group with no problems, the other three were 5-star links and scored 3/10. The answers made this clever indeed. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18822: Difficult numbered wall with half the points scored by me. One I see the connections described, I see how they are described. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18914: Not watched Dr Who since I discovered girls (some 46 summers ago) so I was on a hiding to nothing...but another superbly researched grid!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18834: In that grid, I've seen five from the same country, five in the same direction of and five names with a common initial. I ran out of time to solve it due to the crossovers here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18867: Ah I get it with the group which had 'Adams' in. Numerous red-herrings makes this tricky but fun. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #4772: loved the connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18873: A couple of crossovers makes this one tricky. And I thought you were wrong on the entry 'Pink' but I double checked it and it was right. (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #4772: loved the connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18889: The song "Drunk" is also from the same album as the A Team and both are in a method of "testing positive for...). I am wondering if there are two solutions here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18920: And I think that was amended correctly. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18933: Must say I got confused to start off with. However, as I went on, I had some idea on what the connections were. Toronto however is a wrong entry as there are unequal properties compared to the other three. Quebec could have been a better alternative though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18915: Tricky and interesting! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18923: BinDipper.......OUCH!!!!...8-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

ds @ #18927: I liked it - though I didn't get points for "movement" and I though a COW was female (5 years, 7 months ago)

FizzyFi @ #12749: I’d have scored this higher - but Rachel in Friends is NOT spelt with an ‘a’ before the ‘e’. So having tried all combinations without Rachael I concluded this was a very clever grid indeed to have come up with questions that all the other ‘Friends’ names would fit. Very disappointing to find I was wrong - you just misspelt the name. Otherwise a good grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

RR @ #18772: Being picky- in the homophones group I don't think "err" is pronounced the same as "air". (5 years, 7 months ago)

Big Boy @ #18890: Won't accept the correct answers? strange way to play a game! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18923: For me, The herring density more.than makes up.for the lack of variety in the connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18914: To be honest, 'good' does not describe the last series. :-(( (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18922: Enjoyable, though The dishwater red herring isn't entirely my cup.of tea. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #18933: much too obscure (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #18914: A good grid. I must have fallen more out of step with the the good doctor than I had thought. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18917: Some strange entries there - Martin group is indeed very loose. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #18924: Green Marvel? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Monica @ #18886: Found this fun and addictive! thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18923: Thanks for the heads-up OS. I opened it and 3 seconds later closed it again. :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18890: Well said VE. Gunner is a gobshite who just needs a slap. The only way to improve at making these grids is to make more of them - practice makes wotsit. Don't be put off StoneRose (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18890: Would've been a good grid if the acceptable answers were better. Ignore these keyboard warriors and just make it better next time. (5 years, 7 months ago)

HRB @ #18922: Not too tricky but certainly elegant. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Orelinde @ #18927: Clever :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Orelinde @ #18840: I don't understand "Knotted Livers" as Silver, but otherwise very clever :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Orelinde @ #18897: V nice (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18924: Could have used more crossovers (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #14944: Using Francs - an old currency - withe Euros - the current currency - seems slightly inconsistent. And the random addition of an extra word seems wrong unless you are hiding the word between the words. Otherwise the non-involved word is superfluous & their only purpose is to disguise them along other 2-3-4 words long clues. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #16315: The categories lack a consistency. The words from Harry Potter books should be "the last word" or the "first word after 'and the'." Likewise, "We Didn't Start the Fire" has a tong of words in that song; a loose collection of 4 of them isn't a strong group. And KTANE is so obscure; never heard of it until today. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18055: Omlet wasn't taken for Omelettes. You really ought to cover all the different spellings. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Gunner @ #18890: You and your ilk of substandard and shoddy grid makers need to be purged. The first group does not accept "7" - what? And the Ninja group wouldn't accept "warrior." Some people like to be short and concise with their explanations and not wattle on and on like you dumb cnuts. (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #18840: Great (5 years, 7 months ago)

edwardo @ #18913: The "Cholera" group would make more sense in a sequences round but otherwise I liked the grid - hard to find the groups (except the "Cholera" one which was easy) but all totally sensible when you see them. You're one of my favourite setters on the site! (5 years, 7 months ago)

edwardo @ #18917: I think the "Martin" and "Liverpool" groups are rather poor and unimaginative, the former particularly because usually the link needs to be tighter than that, i.e. they all contain something that's the same in meaning, like "hidden alcoholic drinks" as on a recent OC show. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #12418: Answered City came up wrong then gave correct answer as City (5 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #16893: Good wall never heard of the places in Illinois (5 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #18927: Good wall once I got my head around it. Disappointed didn’t get the movements link. Good work (5 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #18839: Good wall. Some very obscure links and a few red herrings (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18923: Fair comment BinDipper........may be best for you to skip my latest one then!!..8-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #1708: Saw this rated as hard but they were all fiendish to me (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #11953: I put in "rhyming words" for the Crime group but it didn't allow it as a correct entry. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #14418: This was in the USA category and "colors" was not allowed to be correct. Not very good. Colours and Colors should be allowed. Also, "woodwinds" wasn't allowed for the instruments which seems weird. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17952: Top grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17954: fun grid but we can't always guess precisely what wording is in your mind - the answer categories need to be a bit broader. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #45: Timbres group wouldn't accept "music terms" as a correct answer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #1942: Far too easy but a lot of fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #98: Very good! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Daisy @ #18923: Enjoyed this one (5 years, 7 months ago)

Daisy @ #18923: (5 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #5444: Speling not grate. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18923: Enjoyable grid OS. If there’s any criticism it would just be that grids tend to be more fun when there’s variety in the way the links are made imo. Cheers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #18888: Which Tarantino movie has the word killing in its title? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #18915: Chris' will do nicely.. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #16199: Split a ticket???????? But a nice grid all the same (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #3188: Too easy (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17962: Top class deflection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17964: Men's names too broad. If I hadn't been looking for something more specialised I could have scored 10/10! (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17967: Maybe include 'quartet' in the fours answer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18920: After someone pointed to me that there was an error, I have amended wall 18868 slightly. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #6833: Good quiz and fun! (5 years, 7 months ago)

NJ @ #231: Fabulous! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18868: Yes Andyroo is right. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #18526: What is the link?Pony, not accepted. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #18325: Ne-ni-ne-ni-neh! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #337: Nice! 😵 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andyroo @ #18868: Harry Kane went in goals in a European game, not the Premier League (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #186: Quality but on the easy side (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18915: Yep, thanks AK. I suspected there might be an issue. King is now Danielle Rowe, Alarch. She was King in 2012. There were only meant to be 7 with the same occupation. Martin and Evans sneaked up on me. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #8403: War-saw. Er no! Poor. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dan @ #184: Aren’t these made by Pixar (5 years, 7 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #18902: What’s the link? Pie, wouldn’t accept. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ka @ #18813: Good grid- enjoyed the crossovers (5 years, 7 months ago)

sd @ #18867: Wouldn't accept David. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18917: I am happy that I've found this wall - it has Laity in it. That group was hard to spot the connection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18918: Fairly simple to spot, may be one example of a wall asked in the earlier rounds of the show (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18915: Nine entries with the same occupation though I could not find who King is in this category. (5 years, 7 months ago)

asdcole @ #18544: Great music! Never heard of adult orientated rock (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ak @ #18915: Martin, Evans, Froome and Boardman are also well known cyclists. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ak @ #18821: Great! (5 years, 7 months ago)

anthony @ #18916: bugs speltl wrong bee , crawl otherwise a good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

anthony @ #18916: bugs speltl wrong bee , crawl otherwise a good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18914: They've no excuse. Number 9 was there at the time. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18873: A grid full of famous people from different areas of occupations. Joe Sugg, James Carter and Jim Morrisson I am not familiar with however. (5 years, 7 months ago)

baz @ #18897: good (5 years, 7 months ago)

baz @ #18897: good (5 years, 7 months ago)

baz @ #18900: too many first names (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #18914: A couple of good red herrings. I feel like specific knowledge is required for two of these groups, and I'm not sure how much those fanbases cross over (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #18913: The links all made sense, but I couldn't find the groups to begin with. (5 years, 7 months ago)

baz @ #18902: ok (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #18902: What on Earth is the group with K and 2? I understand what the link means, but some form words, some form symbols. It makes very little sense and wouldn't easily be guessed. The rest of the grid was a walk in the park. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #18916: The main difficulty was spelling errors, then I struggled writing the links you were looking for. Didn't accept food or insects. Only noticed one red herring so very easy to group them. (5 years, 7 months ago)

baz @ #18902: why not pie? (5 years, 7 months ago)

baz @ #18915: good (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18916: It will outscore my grids, and deservedly so. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18916: Sorry. Not that good. Imo It's Crawl not crall. Butterfly is one word, likewise Backstroke. Sculling (as it should be spelt) is not a swimming stoke. And it's a Bee. (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #18916: Thanks, i learnt about the swimming stroke sculling. (5 years, 7 months ago)

gbshok @ #10172: For the "Northern" group, "Southern" works as well! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kat B @ #18916: Loved it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #311: I feel that the list of supposed terms for animal groups is not a good connection. It is not a real thing, they are not used (apart from a small number of real ones) those weird ones are just a trope propagated as a curiosity. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14369: got the connections very quickly but every single one of my answers was rejected even although I said the correct connection. very very and another very poor breadth of acceptable answers (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14372: people of Britain rejected as the answer was british people - haha (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #307: Enjoyed that one (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #306: Nice one, thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18849: enjoyed the confusion :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18840: keep them coming! (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18868: I think that happens if you’ve included punctuation that the software doesn’t like, Mike. Or you have the settings on which grids to show wrong. You can adjust for difficulty and (alleged) quality. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18915: Bit worried that the solution here might not be unique without Ms Coren-Mitchell cracking the whip but fingers crossed it is. (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18821: another fun one :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18815: fun fun fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie @ #18897: Enjoyed this, good crossovers! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeannie @ #18902: No crossovers, and won't accept pie as answer. Should be in easy group, not medium (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18902: Aye, a slip up on the pie front. My guess is the setter either put pies in the keyword section or just forgot completely. (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #18897: 10/10 so I enjoyed it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #18902: Why was "pie" not accepted? (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17973: good but frustrating that "- castle" wasn't accepted while "castle -" was. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17986: Pretty easy, but surely "same letters" should be allowable in a category where all the words have the same letters. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #17988: Excellent grid - just what the game should be about. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18000: You need to add more synonyms to the blue line. A very basic one was not accepted, and I'm 'unhappy' about that. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18814: Good work. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18813: Great grid thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

X @ #18815: Great fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

PP @ #18816: Really enjoy these (5 years, 7 months ago)

PP @ #18902: didn't accept "pie" for the "banoffee" group (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clodius @ #7374: Also, Jellystone isn't a real park; it's from the 60s cartoon Yogi Bear (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18033: Really enjoyed this one - got there with 2 seconds to spare. (5 years, 7 months ago)

RBR45 @ #18890: won't accept "warrior" or bands formed from breakup of band - otherwise would have got 10/10. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18034: 'half Scottish bands' not accepted, which was disappointing (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #18890: Rubbish (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18035: 'tube stations' not accepted - no other city in the world calls their underground the tube. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18039: good stuff! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #10740: Very good quiz (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #18890: Exactly the same issue, oh well.. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Laura @ #18891: Love it. Nice hard grid. More please! (5 years, 7 months ago)

BigG @ #18902: One of my faves (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pizzler @ #18871: His first several albums were released under just “Eno”, and many have credited his production as such. Since publishing this puzzle my mind has been looking for perhaps better mononymic artists - Madonna, Morrissey etc (5 years, 7 months ago)

MikeD @ #18868: Sorry to hijack your puzzle, but does anyone know what happens when you submit a puzzle but doesn't show up on the list of puzzles? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18849: nice one - but ultimately not too tricky once you sussed the misdirects at play (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18063: "sea" not accepted - that's a bit narrow! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18888: Suede group is vague for my money (5 years, 7 months ago)

MikeD @ #18894: Whoops. I thought you were commenting on mine lol. #18896 (5 years, 7 months ago)

MikeD @ #18894: Excuse me, Only Me? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18894: Daft. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Will @ #18871: Is there a musician/producer named Eno, aside from Brian Eno? I've never heard Brian Eno mentioned without the Brian, and I can't find another person by that name. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Golfer444 @ #18890: So you're telling me the green group isn't connected by the number seven? nor the purple group by the word warrior? Ok then..... (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #18889: Kind of had what the groups were couldn't find them. Nose is a tough one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

HD @ #18889: (5 years, 7 months ago)

horse @ #14868: You cant have "blind mice" if blind is the connection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #298: I don't get what two opposed meanings there are for 'bolt'. This is driving me crazy! 😵 Threaded bar? Fasten? Run away? Roll of cloth? Pass through a sieve? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18888: Superb. Got the drinks, then spent ages looking for a fourth Britpop band. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18883: Preceded is wrong with what "a" commented on. The submitter knows the error here. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18889: All good, except I didn't see the connection on what Basel is to do. That person is my dad's favourite player. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #18061: Nice grid, thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18883: Whoops!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18867: Some good red-herrings thrown in here and I agree with all the answers given here though I didn't know who a few of them were. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alarch, J @ #18868: Iggy, this wall has two solutions. Terry and O'Shea both have two things in common which fits into the wall. Otherwise good but may not be of a general audience. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14435: agree with omegaman (5 years, 7 months ago)

Shaft @ #18868: nonsense (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18876: OK. They are also just counties. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18878: Yep, all good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18878: Buddy cop? (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18883: You mean "all followed by bowl", right? (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #18821: Another of your fun grids. (5 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #18840: Fun grid. I am another who really enjoys this type. Well done. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18091: Surprised 'lessen' wasn't one of the synonyms. Fun grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18815: You sound fun! A/S/L??? 18/jellyleg/hollyweird (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18877: Good job, ya Canuck! Go fork yourself, you bench! xoxoxo (only jellylegs will get this) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18872: I don't like desserts, but this was the best puzzgrid on this website. Good work jelly legs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18108: Excellent grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18125: quality grid. I didn't get the celeb row but I really should have - I've certainly heard of all of them. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #1428: Give yourselves one point for typing the connections right, I don't see how this is identified as wrong. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18467: Better than the similar grid when two entries did not meet the criteria of the 2017 link. Nicely amended. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Morgan444 @ #10711: Love the theme (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #3876: Glad I 'came to play' Andypandy... (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #3903: 16 random things on my next wall. Let's see how you do! (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #3916: Very good, thx. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18849: Enjoyed that. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18869: Very good - with a bit of sauciness thrown in. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Gee @ #6833: We put 'relatives' for the 'family' one and got marked incorrect, this should updated. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18849: Very nice, and also very nasty (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #5785: Way too easy, jelly legs! >:( (5 years, 7 months ago)

Alfred @ #18840: Out of 450 grids completed, this one is my favourite! Very well done. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #823: Too easy, jelly legs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Delta @ #18868: Too much football based (5 years, 7 months ago)

Els @ #18815: good fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

Els @ #18821: loved it (5 years, 7 months ago)

Penny Lane @ #18863: Incorrectly rated as hard. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18855: Sorry, 189 is a weak link here. America - Thanksgiving maybe... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18863: Stumped on this one. Thought that four of the 16 clues would get me to a link but it didn't so this grid is good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #18863: Enjoyable grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

zoya @ #18733: Great, challenging quiz. I didn't think of radian as a unit of measure but more as a constant. 1 rad = 360o / (2 π) = ~ 57.29578 degrees (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18849: Good one! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18852: Good one! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #18854: OK if you watch telly all day. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Golfer444 @ #18863: This was good. Got 7/10 as I didn't get the last connection right. I was close though (5 years, 7 months ago)

drunkentypist @ #18852: excellent (5 years, 7 months ago)

drunkentypist @ #18851: solved easily with nice categories; however I feel that f1 racing champions should jolly well get a point. the other answers are the same... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Grotter @ #18855: How are 189 and America facts about turkey? Not particularly strong connections (5 years, 7 months ago)

hmm @ #18854: Harry Potter category very tenuous, others too esoteric. Needs work. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #18052: Great. Really enjoyed it thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lebamski @ #18831: Some nice ideas, I particularly liked the "-crats" group (never heard of at least one of them!) One thing: it would be nice to have the full names listed for the "Bruno" group - I know some of them but not others. Thanks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lebamski @ #18854: Some very esoteric knowledge needed for some of these connections. Also, a few of the clues feel a bit too vague and general (e.g. "School" for Harry Potter, "Queen" for Reign). This needed to be refined further to work as a grid, but didn't work for me as it stands. Sorry! (5 years, 7 months ago)

hmm @ #18841: Oscar Wilde, American? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18810: The 17 group I've typed in the answer and says 'incorrect', hovered above it and that's the same. Something must have gone wrong when submitting. Otherwise another good grid but not impossible. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18851: Have to criticise. but believe I'm also guilty on my own grids. Would not accept F1, Race Courses or Tartan. And the t'other group the word is Constituencies, not constituents. didn't like PM either. Apart from that the groups are excellent. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18407: PMs didn't really work, otherwise it should have been Major John. Couple of other spurious connections. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18411: Very poor, due to i's looking like l's in the grid. Also, the 'Adam' connection was very dodgy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18773: Good grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

A.K. @ #18840: Ditto DuckChaos (5 years, 7 months ago)

big t @ #17972: i agree Chris! (5 years, 7 months ago)

big t @ #17972: very pesky (5 years, 7 months ago)

big t @ #4069: shoo shoo (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18838: Liked a lot. Challenging ... thanks to the Pardoner I got that group quickly. Only 5/10 but don't mind that to a well-set grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

edwardo @ #18841: “If you’re going to quote from the Book of Revelation, don’t keep calling it the Book of Revelations; there’s no “s”, it’s the Book of Revelation, as revealed to St John the Divine” - Half Man Half Biscuit, "Shit Arm, Bad Tattoo" The explanations are a bit off, but otherwise the actual links and such are very good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

J0H0 @ #18810: Impossible! (5 years, 7 months ago)

J0H0 @ #18820: Loved this, keeps you guessing to the end (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #18834: Felt a bit hard done by with the football teams. All are PL teams too! Also, FC is suffix of very team. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #18826: Solved the wall but could not get the last connection (dogs) (5 years, 7 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #18840: I really enjoy these kinds of grid. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #18841: *Revelation (5 years, 7 months ago)

HOWills @ #18841: Some nice ideas but plagued by a couple of inaccuracies. Wilde is Irish NOT American. Revelation is in the Bible - not Revelations (believe me the plural makes a big difference). Otherwise, nice links (5 years, 7 months ago)

MickL @ #18832: Good wall made me think a bit (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18789: Didn't accept relatives for the family links and as for a set of one or two words from a series of book titles - very obscure! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18779: ..isn’t (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18779: Hades is your a god. (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #18823: nice one (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #18808: great grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18793: Agreed! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #18291: We like you FlipMick (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18834: 10/10. I needed that. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #18289: There were more crossovers than a bra shop! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo62 @ #18815: very good, i love a good cryptic grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chrisb @ #18777: Completely nuts. (5 years, 7 months ago)

HOWills @ #18823: Fantastic!!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #16564: This wall makes me wanting to eat some of the entries. Very tasty wall and I do consider one of the groups to be known as more than one type. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16315: Lyrics? Too hard, jelly legs! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16564: Ehhh.... it was ok, jelly legs. :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18822: That was a real challenge of a wall. I've lost one point for spelling part of one link incorrectly even though I know the connection. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16893: Not bad, jelly legs. :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16874: Good job jelly legs. ;) (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #10899: Iron is not the most common element. What does spotty dog mean in the context of wood? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18815: Nifty! (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18793: Nice wall. Never shaved a dog, though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18821: Fun! (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18795: FWIW, Echo Beach is now a real music venue in Toronto, named for the song. Nice to see a local music reference! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18823: Entertaining! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18820: Couldn’t crack it ( only one group!) but I liked it! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vbird @ #10624: Did not accept ladies of the night!! Im too polite! (5 years, 7 months ago)

chrisb @ #18793: Pushed the boat out a bit far with 'shaved'. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #18826: I think the answers need to be broadened - particularly to include synonyms. Quite enjoyable otherwise. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chrisb @ #18810: Only managed to identify 3 of the themes, no complete sets. Rats.. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chrisb @ #18820: Fell short at the second hurdle, nice one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

chrisb @ #18823: 10/10, now send me a frog transformer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18831: Well i thought it was pretty good (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18715: Couldn't get past frog......good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18831: 0/10. A bit too clever for me. Cliff should have one 'f' If I understand you correctly. Still would have got 0/10 though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

keith @ #1691: Mantle (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #18823: I'm using frog transformer from now on. Nice grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #10608: Hi FizzyFi. Just had a chat with someone else about this in the chat for #18754. Might be worth a read? (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18820: Nice variation. Didn't quite get there. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18823: Excellent. Didn't get them this time. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18826: Really good grid and the dogs were beyond me (5 years, 7 months ago)

neilb4god @ #18820: Very fine work (5 years, 7 months ago)

bristolstoo @ #12: yes john Crowley, green day is 2 words. also why not replace metallica and coldplay with the hives and sum 41? then the bands would have something in common (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18664: Very good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18669: Decent grid, though valid points already made by others. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18817: Bit too hard for the time allotted. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18820: Awesome (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18821: That was fun. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oma @ #7062: (5 years, 7 months ago)

Not-So-Thin Lizzy @ #18823: Ooh I like the Valentine's theme ;) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18814: Nice grid and 'Up' also works for the Clog group. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Oma @ #10577: (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18789: Should accept vessels as an answer in the boat row. Otherwise straightforward but enjoyable. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JPF @ #18820: I've had a good amount of time to answer this but I didn't know the 12:01 connection. An enjoyable timed grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18821: Good grid, but simple once concept understood. (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #10923: Enjoyed that. (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18814: Nice. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18808: Lack of red herrings made it relatively straightforward, even with the vagueness of the 'mate' group. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18782: Nice, simple but enjoyable. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18814: Nice to have one that doesn't need too much thinking. (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18815: Very enjoyable with the cryptic element. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18817: A part from the saint days was total foxed by this one. Then I saw the answers. Very clever. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18815: Thumbs up! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #18795: (5 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #18795: Really sneaky. Great! (5 years, 7 months ago)

VJ @ #13038: nice to get it, to get it nice (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #18797: Didn't accept correct answers. Fourth group was not a group. Very poor. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aetees @ #18787: A fun grid. Well done. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lebamski @ #18784: Simple but enjoyable. "McCartney" is a bit cheeky, but not to the point of spoiling the grid. Thanks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lebamski @ #18797: As already mentioned by several commenters, having a group whose connection is 'Red herrings for the other groups' makes this almost impossible to solve. The presidents group also feels far too specific to make it achievable. Some nice ideas, but not executed well enough to make this enjoyable. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lebamski @ #18805: Some nice variety in the connections. Simple but fun. Thanks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Lebamski @ #18813: A straightforward grid with a few nice crossovers to add some extra challenge. I liked the CaCO3 group in particular. Thanks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18808: Really good me old China. might not of been any crossovers but the cryptic nature of the clues, made it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

FizzyFi @ #10608: Dangermouse - surely interchangeable answers are half the point of a good grid. Solved this fairly easily - but good crossovers (interchangeable answers) and I could have taken longer if I hadn’t been lucky with my first attempts. Thanks RegularTony (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matthew @ #18809: Coolio (5 years, 7 months ago)

Matthew @ #18809: Great, really challlenging (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #8355: The Green group was fairly easy. Could see one group was Yes, but took a while to get it. Loved the purple group. Good grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

FizzyFi @ #236: Good easy grid perfect for a quick coffee break. Eon isn’t an online e-commerce company, it’s a power supplier. But I’ll give you that one. Fun nonetheless. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #18797: All kinds of wrong (5 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #18808: Generally love this type of grid, but some very spurious connections in this one (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18797: No, no, no, no,no! That just makes it impossible to solve the grid! Give yourself a slap on the wrist and vow to do better next time! (5 years, 7 months ago)

JPF @ #18800: That certainly challenged me, this is certainly a very good wall to do. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18796: 1. Synonyms are one word, not two. 2. I think I can spot the singers - one song three of them sung would be 'We Can't Talk Anymore', '212' (song) and 'Roar'. The other one could be a band which consists of the members with the surname. 3. The other two categories spot on (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18772: You've probably sussed it The missing S in the purple group. Think it would of been better if red group had some crossover red herrings. Otherwise fine. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Sabrina @ #18806: This was a really good grid, I’d definitely recommend it! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clue @ #18797: A category which has it's entries fit into the others is known as a r**-h**r**g. Would this be a good idea for an advanced wall on Only Connect or not... (5 years, 7 months ago)

x @ #18797: Any of the herring group could be swapped, making it impossible to get the answer without a lucky guess. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mr D @ #18799: Just did this grid with one of my classes where I teach. We really enjoyed it - thanks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18783: Good grid - distracted by all the 90s bands! (5 years, 7 months ago)

COD @ #18797: Agree - a red herring category is weird. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #18795: No.that one escaped the mind of Wiz! Good grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Newbie @ #17728: Satisfying. Thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

BwB @ #2855: Put mask as answer but told it’s incorrect ☹️ (5 years, 7 months ago)

Squiggle @ #16035: I'm not from London but still enjoyed this. Good red herrings. Well done. (5 years, 7 months ago)

D @ #18768: Very nice. Good fun. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Iggy Swan @ #18800: I have never seen a grid which contains entirely of numbers before. This is a good grid to challenge everyone. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Max @ #18768: I have just checked up on 'tridge' and it seems to mean a Y bridge or three way platform or something. It is not commonly used though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Max @ #18768: Sorry, but that wasn't me that commented, it was someone else in our house who played it and forgot to sign out. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18796: No they are not synonyms - not sure what they are. Be helpful if you told us who these singers were. (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #15911: films dammit..! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #15546: Good but extremely difficult for (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18782: A great grid. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18775: Put things you put in your mouth as it could be a fruit chew (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18772: Got it despite the missing s but put " make new words when reversed " which wasn't accepted for the backwards group. :-( (5 years, 7 months ago)

peen @ #12539: we tried mushroom and didn't get it :( (5 years, 7 months ago)

peen @ #18796: those aren't synonyms and the american singers one was nuts (5 years, 7 months ago)

lets get quizzical @ #18797: absolutely outrageous to have one of the categories as red herrings... this is poor show and victoria coren-mitchell would be saddened tbh (5 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #18279: Is that you Colin? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jose1978 @ #18798: Loved it! Never new Hillary was a scorpio haha :D (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #17487: Liked the Christmas themed grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #5983: Some good red herrings but it said incorrect when I said London rail stations which is also a valid answer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #15871: Good grid with some tricky connections if not known about. I only got the squares as local to Manchester and know of St Peter's Square. And the Ton group almost evaded mee (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18795: Yep, very good. Anyone get all the group involving dor? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #184: Grid should have one unique solution. Hat & Dog could be swapped in their categories. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14588: what is the ear of a chair? (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14589: good (5 years, 7 months ago)

CF @ #18705: love this! great fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14630: witty! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18431: Giggsy is wrong. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18754: No worries OSSie. A guy on here with whom I exchanged a few messages talked about having a 5,5,5,5 set up or 6,5,5,4 as a guide. So each group has one red herring OR one group has two herrings and one, usually a word type link, manages without any. I think that's a sound starting point. If you have lots of squares that fit the same link, it's hard to avoid having two solutions. Good luck! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18474: Well...soul tie is a new one on this soul boy, and I never knew a female cat is called a Queen so I was on a hiding to nothing with that one!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18475: Had me totally stumped....I never even got three to link let alone four. Well played (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18486: Fubar...not sure you could "stretch" a puck!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18487: I knew I was going to groan the groan of "of course" when I saw the solutions...and I did....cracking grid mate! (5 years, 7 months ago)

RS @ #18789: Nice one! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kathleen Mc @ #18772: Missing s on one of the clues (5 years, 7 months ago)

KD @ #18787: Good puzzle. Nice work! (5 years, 7 months ago)

KD @ #18787: (5 years, 7 months ago)

Max @ #18787: Let me know if it works well! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18784: *rolls eyes* (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18782: Love the stone (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18772: I man am regal, a German am i. Full marks for trying for interesting... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18784: I mean, I got it... but that doesn't mean I approve (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #18783: Good grid. Thank you! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18785: Well that stumped me. I had a feeling one group was the American spelling but I still couldn't spot it...as for the rest I never got close. Well played. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andrew @ #48: I found that one difficult. but fun. There's an also an alternative answer for Row 4 Time. You have reaction time, family time, wartime and waste time (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18212: Good grid but answer range to pinch and scratch too limited. (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18784: Beatles/Beetles (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18773: Just made it 6 secs. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18779: Brilliant. Love it (5 years, 7 months ago)

falcon @ #18781: very good (5 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #18775: Not bad but agree with Dobby; masticate is not synonymous with the other three (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18775: Chew doesn't fit in the group for the same reason Jime has mentioned. Also Masticate doesn't really fit into the group as it doesn't fit with the answer - you can masticate without swallowing (gum for example). (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18777: Nicely constructed, but not sure about Unarmed Suspect, or Dollar Bill for that matter. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18772: Nice concept but a far too easy as it's nearly impossible to fit in any crossovers with these groups. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18768: Tridge?? Tut tut. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #18772: Unorthodox grid. Easy enough due to only having one overlap across the entire grid, but not very enjoyable to be honest. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #10473: The Green group was good. It sorta went down hill from there. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #18775: Yeah decent enough grid - one quibble - perhaps more of a request - please don't do a synonyms link without using 'synonym' as an answer criterion. Otherwise thanks! (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14652: I think some of this was really obscure - the puzzler has to have the answers somewhere in the brain (ie early 1900's rugby captains - eh??) while the setter looks them up on the internet. askew? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tcv @ #18763: I've never heard of Lily Savage. Lily Allen I know. I humbly seek your forgiveness, O Saint Simon Peter, for I am but a lowly foreigner, ignorant of the ways of all the words of your people. (5 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #18773: tell tale tit made me smile. Haven't heard that since i was 7. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18768: The idea is not to praise or score your own grids. This is not great imho. 'Tridge' is not a word in its own right. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #18775: Good grid. It's known as 'chewing' tobacco though isn't it (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18694: Very good...apart from Rob Brydon (and therefore the group) I was totally stumped....considering where we are it is a bit embarrassing not getting the lovely Victoria though (5 years, 7 months ago)

Rustic @ #18745: A clever idea, though maybe could have been presented/executed better. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Rustic @ #18728: TL;DR - way too much possible crossing between categories. A few points of criticism: 1. The loon is certainly not a songbird. Not by taxonomy, and not by vocalization. They call rather distinctly, but I don't think you'd deem it a song. 2. If taxonomy, then, is not the criteria for the songbirds list, then easily the p(ewe)e could swap with the ta(nag)er within the animal name category. 3. King(fish)er feels like a cheap answer within the animal name category, as it is by that very animal the bird was named. It's not as though the word is "hidden" in there. 4. A simple search of IMDb will yield film titles with many these birds (Loon, Pigeon, Cardinal) so the Oscar nomination is probably an important distinction to make the category solid - as (kit)e is another animal name, and the cuckoo, while not scientifically a songbird, also has a distinct call like the loon. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18762: Disciples / Apostles aren't these synonymous? (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #5444: mmmm! not sure about the speling. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dottie @ #18772: Needs an s on the end of pet. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18745: Very clever idea. Not sure why one group wouldn't let me have "wall". (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #5503: Ridiculous. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18702: Think it's hard not to accept animals for that group. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dave P @ #18772: GG! Tricky links, but interesting. Keep it up! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18768: Brilliant grid......For the first time ever I couldn't even work out any of the links let alone sort them out!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18754: Ah...thanks for the clarification Bindipper......blimey that makes it a lot harder but I'll persevere! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Greg @ #18767: (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18762: Unfortunately this grid doesn't work as there is more than one solution. You can swap Thomas and Black for Potter and it still works. Could also even swap James for Thomas and then Potter for James and have a working solution. 1 star I'm afraid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18739: good grid but 'amputee' should have been acceptable (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18745: really liked this wall. (5 years, 7 months ago)

XN @ #18745: I liked it and solved quite a lot of it (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #10033: Chris. Just because they are not brewed like they are in the UK. They are still Beers. Thought it was a really good grid, and have scored it highly. (5 years, 7 months ago)

kenb68 @ #18769: I was left with the father Ted one and really frustrated I didn't get it. That's hat it's all about. Thanks. (5 years, 7 months ago)

alicoo @ #4426: merseyside (5 years, 7 months ago)

ד. @ #18770: הגריד הכי טוב שנעשה אי פעם! מי שהכין אותו חייב להיות גאון עם פין זהב!!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

CB @ #18749: Got to agree with Giggsy, 'Strictly' unnecessary. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18754: Puzzle #18023 is one of mine where I made that mistake OSSIE - so you can what I mean. There's a fish fork as well as a fish knife. Therefore two solutions. The grid is bollocksed. (5 years, 7 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18754: In case Gofer misses your question OSSIE - yes you're right. Answers should fit in more than one group, BUT the whole grid has to have a UNIQUE solution. If you can swap, say, 2 items, one in group A and one in Group B but still have a perfectly sensible grid then the grid is flawed. It has 2 solutions. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13060: Haha - I got the philosophers but thought they might be characters from Allo Allo! So near... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #18768: Nice one. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13022: okay - better than a lot of grids but always difficult to guess the word used to describe the synonyms when several would fit (5 years, 7 months ago)

Max @ #18768: Excellent grid. Very challenging. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13011: Accepted Girls Aloud for me - and Bible women - thought it was fun. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Verr @ #257: Nice (5 years, 7 months ago)

Max @ #18768: I made this grid and I think it works well! Hope you enjoy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Simon Peter @ #18754: The trouble is that you can make the anniversary group with 8 clues... this is excessive and unhelpful (5 years, 7 months ago)

Simon Peter @ #18756: The Georges are silly - not a good group. Could we please have a grid that doesn't mention Harry Potter for once? Also: they are all BILLionaires, not just MILLionaires - should have been expected (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18754: FirstGofer.....can I clarify your comment re unique answers please. Are you saying that no answer should be able to be in more than one group......surely that is part of what makes the puzzles....puzzling! Or have I misinterpreted your comment? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Simon Peter @ #18763: You didn't accept disciples! May the wrath of the lord come upon you and your flock (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18223: That was hard, but excellent! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Malcolm @ #189: Didn't know who Mousse T was, so went with Welsh for that group (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18756: Not good (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13008: nice one. Didn't get the occupational names - thought it had something to do with Harry :-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13003: Enjoyed this one, even with the spelling error. (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #15520: I had "tax" for the "saving" group (tax money, tax time, tax day, tax file) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13021: If Harry isn't accepted - the plural of Harry is certainly not Harry's - Harry's what? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #8161: Excellent Grid Good cross overs. However I put fim families and got it wrong.... boo hiss (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #13026: nice :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18756: presidents and tech groups are too broad, I'm sure there's other groups with 3 Georges and a Harry (e.g. next in line to the throne through time)... I figured out pretty quickly that if it was a fair quiz then the Georges had to be together (nice idea btw!) but that then makes it too easy since you can just go through clicking these with a fourth answer... putting Albus as a Potter was either very clever or very cruel, as most people will think Dumbledore! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18763: Should of used Disciples as well as Apostles. Didn't have a clue on the blue group. (Never seen or read Potter) And may be used better known Lily's ie. Allen or Savage. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #112: hmmm, comedienne did for me. Or rather, didn't. (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18754: I got 10/10 and typed gems. But no unique answer as you can swap Diamond with Sapphire or Ruby. (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18739: Nice one... didn't see the White Wine solution... opted for sweet, but couldn't see how gazpacho fitted in. That would be because it didn't! haha (5 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #18756: You can't put 3 same names in one line....this was pretty dreadful i'm afraid (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18753: Always enjoy your grids... even if I fail miserably ;-) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tcv @ #18735: Kiitos! I liked the -anders! The dog one was hard for me :D (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18746: Also found this very straightforward, I think because Most of the crossovers only registered after the fact. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Els @ #18664: 10/10 love these grids - really gets the grey matter working (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #18739: I liked it - but put amputees and got incorrect. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #18754: Got them all - but two didn't accept my answers. I like to type in the minimum when adding answers so might just be me being lazy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #18754: Got them all - but two didn't accept my answers. I like to type in the minimum when adding answers so might just be me being lazy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #18754: good grid - i was just let down by putting precious stones. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18250: Excellent (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18259: Another great grid, but agree with firstgofer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18260: Superb grid - solvable if you know the answers! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jac @ #18623: good grid but groups let down by the answers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #573: Excellent (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18727: I had same problem Typed 'Communication@ and got an incorrect. Loved the grid otherwise. And thumbs up for the Blondie link. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mark @ #18754: Just to point out that the Wedding Anniversaries category are also all Pokémon game titles, as are Emerald, Sapphire and Ruby. The grid may have been easier if I didn't know that.... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18754: No worries Ossie, it was a good grid. I gave myself the points anyway. Keep going. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18739: It's only easy of you know the answers, top gridding in my opinion. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18754: I did agonise over precious stones but apparently Diamonds, Rubys, Sapphires and Emeralds are the only ones classed as precious stones. the rest are semi-precious..according to Google anyway.....but I do appreciate the comment Vest .....Thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

Asterios @ #1563: If the category is "Electric" and the clue says "Ian", then the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT "Electrician". It is "Electric Ian". And that is not a thing. Stop doing this. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Sue @ #13022: Couldn’t remember the correct word for one group so should have accepted descriptive link, perhaps (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18754: Precious stones too, decent grid but acceptable answers could do with expanding. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Sue @ #13022: Good categories, links not too obvious (5 years, 7 months ago)

Vest Enpance @ #18756: Billionaires, no? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Sue @ #18746: Fun, not too hard (5 years, 7 months ago)

Sue @ #12273: Varied categories, not too difficult (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18742: Handy? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18746: Enjoyed this! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18756: Not easy for me! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Debra @ #18745: Clever wall! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #18745: Sorry, agree with UBone, impossibly and wilfully difficult. No fun at all (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18754: Fair comment Timmon...I am still fairly new to composing grids, so I am making a few mistakes as I get up top speed, but I hope it doesn't distract too much from people enjoying the grids (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #2443: 4 groups. No red herrings. plus ball games was not accepted. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18754: The red group could also just say plants. Otherwise a fine not too difficult grid. (5 years, 7 months ago)

karen @ #18745: I liked it! A novel idea. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tony589 @ #18721: It's PLAICE, not PLACE. (5 years, 7 months ago)

OSSIEP9 @ #18731: Sorry folks...the excessive use of capitals is an occupational hazard of 40 years as a Draughtsman....I shall try to harder to observe the rules in future! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18745: I'm in the middle of the other two - nice idea but fairly impossible. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18749: Started off enjoyable - ended less so - (be nice to spell out all the answers in a grid like this) (5 years, 7 months ago)

Mrs G @ #1167: Cracking grid, thank you (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18730: Caps not needed (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #18746: Same. Scored 10/10 in 28 seconds and with no errors. But it's nice to have an easy one in amongst the difficult themed grids. (5 years, 7 months ago)

fluberdunky @ #18731: YOUR CAPS LOCK SEEMS TO BE STUCK! INSTRUCTIONS SAY TO CAPITALIZE THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD, NOT THE ENTIRE WORD! (5 years, 7 months ago)

A @ #18745: Very well made! I thought it was impossible until I started to think logically. Great wall! (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14919: ooo I am glad others become aeriated with unaccepted answers.....just how is it possible that 'words for smell' was wrong because the given answer was 'smells' ? Just maddening..... (5 years, 7 months ago)

a @ #18744: presidents and registration number groups are too big and have too many members... also both could probably be other things (5 years, 7 months ago)

alicoo @ #18690: That's what I thought Giggsy. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18746: Just fell right for me 10/10. Quick time too. Thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

nbdtho @ #18647: What is an ear hustle? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #10968: Brilliant grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18745: Terrible wall. Badly made, nigh impossible to solve. (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18740: "New York City" wrong for the first one (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #18703: Nice grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Bobster @ #18739: Too easy (5 years, 7 months ago)

cbrady @ #13283: Best of the rest... (5 years, 7 months ago)

Nigel @ #18727: Apart from the "communication" link I was totally stumped on this one.......so well done on a great grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #18726: Best ever, kept me close all the way. Teachers rrrrrr (5 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #18739: Superb, one of my favourite grids (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ann @ #10114: Hyndburn is not a town but a metropolitan district!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ann @ #10114: Hyndburn is not a town but a metropolitan district!! (5 years, 7 months ago)

JD @ #18739: Oh the tricksy red herrings. Nice one! (5 years, 7 months ago)

UBone @ #18727: Agree with Tbone. Also, "communication" was found incorrect. Should be OK. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #10967: Very good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #10975: Very good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #18738: Nice mix of content, scored 7/10 after not identifying the Navy line. Cheers. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Scott @ #6140: Cartoon cats - not cats (5 years, 7 months ago)

BumblePoop @ #18731: Really liked this - just got them with seconds to spare (5 years, 7 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18651: Excellent! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18737: Larry Lurex is my pseudonym just for this grid. I put Easy, let you guys decide. At least the Group names work. feedback welcome. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #18727: 2 groups could have had the exact same prefix. This means you could swap SERVE with any from the MITS group and it's impossible to guess the link of the MITS group as it could be multiple things. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Dobby @ #18721: I'll give myself 10/10 then as it wouldn't let me have parts of the face :) I find the last round on Only Connect to be the easiest so was a bit of a breeze for me :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #15029: nice (5 years, 7 months ago)

You @ #17487: Enjoyable (5 years, 7 months ago)

MOG20 @ #18721: OK, you can have parts of face. (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #14933: everyone knows the names of the sons of Priam...…...haha (5 years, 7 months ago)

cazza @ #15029: alert - my annoyance factor kicks in again - marked incorrect for saying followed by the exact same word/repetition in the do/paw etc line. good grid tho despite that niggle (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18290: It seems I was lucky enough to get the linking terms used :) overall quite fun (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18664: couple I couldn't get but others were quite interesting :D (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18723: did not accept weapon as an answer; guess i should have said weapons?; also the cards and prime numbers are confusing cause what is so special about the 7 and the 3 that is not with the 5 and the 2? not sure (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18733: nice red herrings; but could not get the baseball category; i like it a lot (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18290: "not genuine" seems a perfectly accurate answer but it was not accepted. (5 years, 7 months ago)

gbshok @ #18723: This grid is not a very good one, I'm sorry! On hand, you have the Missiles and Blades groups, which are clearly different from the other 2, so totally stand out. On the other hand, you have 6 prime numbers and 6 card possibilities (and those are quite arbitrary if I'm honest), so it is nearly impossible to get those right even if you know the connection (5 years, 7 months ago)

gbshok @ #18724: Same as Jime, plus the popular tourist countries also have the color red prominently in their flags (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #18664: cheers (5 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #18669: "initial" was not accepted...but for the verb category I had no idea and I wrote "horse" and it was called correct! I only said that because the Travers horse race in Saratoga was the only place I'd heard that word. (5 years, 7 months ago)

wev @ #18706: superb! Great set of connections. (5 years, 7 months ago)

DH @ #18721: Won't accept "parts of face" :( (5 years, 7 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #13116: Simple, but very satisfying. Thanks (5 years, 7 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18715: Shame to have two film groups though (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18685: The groups are not just teenagers, I put fashion cliques. Suit was not accepted, nor was bands. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18666: A repeat of 18662 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #18724: The capitals group are all commonwealth countries (5 years, 7 months ago)

Siobhan Mcalinden @ #18720: not sure about 'to pierce' (5 years, 7 months ago)

Katy Leach @ #18715: Radically hard - loved every second! (5 years, 7 months ago)

JP @ #18721: Nice :) I got three of the four catagories (5 years, 7 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18709: Hmmmm not familiar with the rugby words. (5 years, 7 months ago)

MOG20 @ #18723: Very, very hard! Didn't get any groups before the time ran out! I don't think it should be medium. Very good grid! (5 years, 7 months ago)

BumblePoop @ #18715: Argh, thanks for pointing out the queen error. Sorry about that, it should be THQUN SDD. (5 years, 7 months ago)

MOG20 @ #18721: Thank you (5 years, 7 months ago)

BumblePoop @ #18721: Nice grid - difficult though! (5 years, 7 months ago)

dave @ #18715: Queen has one n. But very good. (5 years, 7 months ago)

RH @ #184: Very good (5 years, 7 months ago)

RH @ #184: Very good (5 years, 7 months ago)

RH @ #1396: Good (5 years, 7 months ago)

MOG20 @ #18709: It should except synonyms! Good grid though I enjoyed it! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Treacle @ #18709: Yes to trawling, but also yes to trolling - dragging fishing lines through the water. Cheers! (5 years, 7 months ago)

RH @ #10577: Good (5 years, 7 months ago)

black sheep @ #18715: Brilliant - felt gettable but beat me (twice) (5 years, 7 months ago)

DoorsHorse @ #18720: Hyvä 👍 (5 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #18703: Neat, but I reserve my judgement on the fairies! (5 years, 7 months ago)

Ann @ #13116: This was easy compared with other medium grids (5 years, 7 months ago)

Larry. @ #8319: Hi Blues, we would be most interested to read your book 'Gliding is Flying'. Is it purchasable from the Amazon online shop? (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18707: The blue group is a right Bustard. Apart from that Very good (5 years, 7 months ago)

Nigel @ #18717: Sorry gang..I spelled Cardiff incorrectly...but hopefully it was obvious what it was (5 years, 7 months ago)

Nigel @ #13627: I think the bread based muffin connection was a tad tenuous....but, I confess, that may say a lot about my lack of baking knowledge! Other than that a good grid (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #2296: same as AvalancheMC :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #10577: enjoyable (5 years, 7 months ago)

luskentyre @ #18709: Isn't "trolling" inappropriate use of the internet, while the fishing term is "trawling"?? Good grid though, with lots of red herrings. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18709: Really enjoyed your grid. TY (5 years, 7 months ago)

luskentyre @ #18715: Loved the missing vowels idea. Failed to find any groups! Managed to work out the connections, though. Really enjoyed it. (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18705: thoroughly enjoyable :D (5 years, 7 months ago)

Treacle @ #18709: Yes should have allowed synonyms. Sorry, it's my first (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18708: not very red herring-y (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18694: Wowza is it hard! (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18676: flummoxed; simply flummoxed (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18709: to the point :) (5 years, 7 months ago)

PK @ #18598: Not sure why others are note getting the GOT sequence; I liked it (5 years, 7 months ago)

black sheep @ #18705: good one - enjoyed (5 years, 7 months ago)

BumblePoop @ #18709: Lots of red herrings, enjoyed this. Agree that should accept ‘synonyms’ though. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Timmon @ #18676: It's clever when you have one group like that. But all 4 was a bit daft. Sorry. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Jime @ #18709: Good quiz, enjoyed it. But should accept 'synonyms' as an acceptable answer. (5 years, 7 months ago)

Clive @ #10577: Great (5 years, 7 months ago)

edwardo @ #18702: The "unique" group is a really weak link, and there could be some tightening of the "rhino" group because the red-herring between those two was hard to discern - unlike the other two groups which were well-disguised. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18330: I would love to see Daniel Craig playing a major roll. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18399: spelling!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

007specialagent @ #18706: Cocktails one was easy enough! Especially with the wife sat next to me... Managed to work out the tree link, but was STUMPED (get it?!) by the Locust. Don't know who this Ron Howard is, but do we get points for double letter? This is our 67th time playing this game, and one of our favourites to date! God bless Victoria Coren-Mitchell (5 years, 8 months ago)

007specialagent @ #18705: Dont like this 1 dont know who hailey bieber is whos that (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18682: Yep - very nice thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18686: Are you taking the piss? Or have you just watched Groundhog Day too many times. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18698: Don't know most of these words so didn't try it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18702: Nice - I lived in Paisley for a while in the 70's (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18690: Haven't we seen this one? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #230: Groupings are OK, but the link keywords have been very badly put together. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18463: Needs more options for the combination row. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #226: Poor show. Honestly, after the misspellings and 'golf-ing' I thought this was a gag. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18475: Good grid but I was disappointed that 'serrated' wasn't accepted in the Gear group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #6833: good wall (5 years, 8 months ago)

bristolstoo @ #13608: this website is brilliant (5 years, 8 months ago)

bristolstoo @ #13607: I got the last one , but only by a programming slip. I foolishly guessed at "spelled differently in America" which somehow conjoined with "you can use ter as a prefix for all of them " and I have no idea why. (5 years, 8 months ago)

DiscworldQuizzer @ #18691: Thanks, I'll make an easier one (5 years, 8 months ago)

MOG20 @ #18691: Hard Make an easier one please (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18679: I thought it was OK. Nicely done. (5 years, 8 months ago)

truecockney @ #18679: Sorry all.. Just realised I messed up! Hopefully it doesn't affect enjoyment. Can't win them all... (5 years, 8 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #18676: No point to it...other than to waste people's time. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #18669: "Children's authors" incorrect (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18676: Why...just why? Makes no sense. Don't waste your time (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18641: Excellent misdirection! Top grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18663: I think you'll find a lot of people over 19 in what I put in as 'urban tribes'. (5 years, 8 months ago)

succinyl @ #18665: Mark, get over yourself. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Newbie @ #4582: Very enjoyable. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Newbie @ #2748: Entertaining but difficult for me. Was thinking about dresses - cross dress, cocktail dress, shift dress for too long and ran out of time (5 years, 8 months ago)

JV @ #18669: great ideas! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #18665: As much as you always see it in films, gavels are not used in a courtroom, only in auction rooms. It’s a common misconception. (5 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #18672: I like the toon group, very clever when you get it (though the usual spelling nowadays is Pashtun). But the cheese group could also be pies, I have no idea why the 1234 group is 1234 (is this a foreign language question?) and the last group is wrong, "point" minus first letter is "oint" not "int. (5 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #18676: No. Just, no. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15190: annoyingly the breadth of answers not good - the rhyming line should have accepted repeated word with different first letter. as ever, for me, this spoils the enjoyment of this very good grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15219: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bangbang @ #18669: A gun group from the USA - quel surprise (5 years, 8 months ago)

smith @ #18663: Agree with the comment below (5 years, 8 months ago)

smith @ #18669: Great grid other than the names group not allowing "authors with two initials". (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ry @ #3061: Really tough but fair. Well done. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Squiggle @ #18651: Agree about gangsters. The 'white' category a bit obscure! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #18658: If it's got a keel it's a ship. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Squiggle @ #18659: Nice one! The regional endearments beat me, but enjoyed the other groups. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18369: 'difficult mood' should have covered it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #18598: Goodness gracious me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18652: Very good. I liked the the 'Oa' answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

boo-urns @ #18662: "New Wave Groups" didn't work (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18662: Some pretty vague groups imho. Cure group could have done with something more specific as a link and Flake group would be neater if it was first or last, not a random choice. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18598: Have to agree. Also did not understand the explanation of the Stranger sequence at all. (5 years, 8 months ago)

You @ #573: Enjoyable (5 years, 8 months ago)

boo-urns @ #18663: 80s pop groups was incorrect, yet factually accurate. Ditto for "subcultures" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18658: Half easy, half hard! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18659: Not heard of merganser before..... (5 years, 8 months ago)

tam @ #18659: good to get going (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18386: Excellent grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18391: I liked this apart from "thou shalt not" being rejected as an answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #18651: y u no let me have "fictional gangsters" (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18401: Which bit of "written message" is wrong? (5 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #18652: should let us have "normandy landings" (5 years, 8 months ago)

chrisb @ #1116: Fine and dandy (5 years, 8 months ago)

chrisb @ #1116: Fine and dandy (5 years, 8 months ago)

chrisb @ #1116: Fine and dandy (5 years, 8 months ago)

chrisb @ #1124: court card? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18651: Spent ages looking at Dove-r and failing to see the bird. Mind's going. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Row57 @ #18612: It was Rommel and Goering (5 years, 8 months ago)

boo-urns @ #2691: no sports or bugs, "volkswagen" not accepted. Bad. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #18619: Not clever, not funny (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18651: Excellent work! (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18439: Brilliant! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #18627: If you have the teachings it might be easier. Otherwise nigh on impossible. (well for me anyway) (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18479: annoyed that 'mount' is not accepted. Good grid let down by over-restrictive matching. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jac @ #18616: hmm, waterproof socks? boot not allowed? metals incorrect? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18633: All great groups but for me the whole was less than the sum of its parts. Maybe there's a fake group I just couldn't see? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jac @ #18639: they don't rhyme. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jac @ #18645: easy grid to see the groups but difficult to guess what the creator has put as the acceptable answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Guapo @ #18636: Absolutely outrageous and awesome (5 years, 8 months ago)

SeJuis @ #18649: A good grid and four salad recipes - thanks! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #1093: Loved it - very clever (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18633: Excellent grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18633: Good stuff,most entertaining. Particularly liked the playing cards one, simple but still stumped me. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Cx @ #18619: Blue group is very offensive (5 years, 8 months ago)

lucy @ #3660: chimney not chiminea (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18597: Fun - liked probe group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18624: Typically fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18541: corvids... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18628: Again excellent, but hard to beat the ST grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18633: Brilliant - great fun with very unique groups. Hat off. Rating for this should go up to...!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18623: "amimals"? really? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18640: I think it has all been said - nice try (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18645: Fun grid. Thanks. Refit group has two nouns and two verbs so they do not marry neatly. I would personally give another explanation to the messes group to suggest what links them all as an action - people probably won't guess your answer. And caps are not necessary (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18646: Hands down beat me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jime @ #18640: Last two groups both accept 'trees' as answer. And the fruits group doesn't accept 'fruit'. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18612: Thanks Sam T for the explanation of chicken bus as I wasn't familiar with that. I also agree about the Mars bars as I put "things you can eat". Goring is on the Thames or on sea; Goering was the Nazi. (5 years, 8 months ago)

wev @ #18640: They are all trees. You could have had British trees for the fourth answer - 'trees' isn't good enough. And not accepting 'fruit' is just silly. (5 years, 8 months ago)

RBR45 @ #18640: hmmm too many options - also won't accept fruit as an answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

keith @ #18308: this shouldn't be marked as "USA" the US does know cricket, let alone cricketeers (5 years, 8 months ago)

ynot @ #18640: your realise most fruits grow on trees, and these trees share there names, right? So swap Apple with Peach, Apricot, or Orange and it still works (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18639: Hmmm. Meme and Diem are both suspect. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18639: Hmmm. Meme and Diem are both suspect. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18639: A bit complex but I liked it (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15258: again my bugbear - my answer of imaginary/fictional beasts marked wrong as had to say legendary creatures - eh?????? I try not to be irritated sorry (5 years, 8 months ago)

Canuck @ #18609: Great, now Lou Bega is stuck in my head (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15260: the ….s marked incorrect - tut tut what is a point guard? - never heard of it (5 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #18624: Cheers Duck. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18624: So you did. Once I’d seen Minnie that group was almost inevitable. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Canuck @ #18614: This side of the pond no one would associate hockey with a ball! (5 years, 8 months ago)

tteent @ #18616: "metals" wasn't correct, yet they are all metals. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15509: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #18639: Nice but deem might have been better than diem. (5 years, 8 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #3608: Did Janine seriously say birds aren't animals? What are they then, plants? Fungi? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18613: Correct - thanks for the bollocking folks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18638: No biscuit for "biscuit"? :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

golfpolice @ #18614: But one can play golf on one's own. How many balls then? (5 years, 8 months ago)

golfpolice @ #18614: But one can play golf on one's own. How many balls then? (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18624: I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ;-) Used an almost identical group in #18582 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #18468: Even I can't recall the key words for the Red Group. Safe to say it's the middle word of 3 in English towns. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18623: It's a bit much to expect most people to know Mustelidae though. It's not a Zoology test after all. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18614: Fun! (5 years, 8 months ago)

You @ #11973: Good (5 years, 8 months ago)

DuckChaos @ #18624: Good grid with clever crossovers. I didn't know the Minnie line, interesting! (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18631: That's cheating! (5 years, 8 months ago)

HOWills @ #18623: animals is too vague for this category surely? (5 years, 8 months ago)

You @ #13116: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #18631: 10/10, but I am Irish :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18631: Hoping that a very basic Irish-themed board poses sufficient challenge for the neighbours. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18623: Need to put more thought into your linking terms HOWills. Animals not accepted, even though that group are in fact all animals. Also doesn't accept quick for another group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18619: I actually got all the groups! (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18620: Sorry JP. "Oranjestad" is meant to be a big clue that they're not all British colonies. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18620: I had Commonwealth cities disallowed, which may or may not be correct (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18623: "Animals" wasn't accepted for a group (5 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #18588: Doing this grid was the worst experience I’ve had since I contracted shingles. (5 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #18614: Good quality and level of difficulty. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18612: I would take slight objection to Mars Bars, they can be treated in the manner suggested but generally are not, at least not outside of Glasgow. Otherwise a decent board. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tbone @ #18614: Golf doesn't really have one ball, it's one each. Football has 22 players on the field, if it were like golf there would be 22 balls. Even then it's technically not true as some are lost or replaced throughout the game. If everyone playing against each other used the same ball it would be a very long day out. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tbone @ #18616: Same as previous comments, the links should contain part of the word so as to accept variations e.g. anniversary and anniversaries. When making the quiz just type "anniversa" as anyone typing that clearly knows the answer and both of the above will be accepted. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18614: I enjoyed the Hitler line, and the grid over all. Well done. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18620: Damn you Bermuda! Thanks for that. And not ALB, AL. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18620: Being pedantic, Bermuda isn't in the Caribbean... and ALB? (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18615: Agree with Sam T & Andy. Didn't accept bulbs or synonyms. And agree the obscurity spoils a simple grid with only one (that I noticed) crossover. By the way... I used the synonym group a few days ago! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18620: I am Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate! (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18612: A chicken bus (Spanish: "camioneta de pollos" or "trambilla", the latter a hypercorrection of "tranvía") is a colloquial English name for a colorful, modified and decorated bus that transports goods and people between communities in various Latin American countries, especially Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Panama. Very fun quiz. (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18613: IT IS RAT AND NOT BAT. IMBESEAL very funny quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18614: Nice Stuff. You really know how to make a good Quiz sir. Splendid craftmanship. Very Funny Quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sam T Senior @ #18619: I agree with Sam T (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18615: Learn. To. Put. Synonyms. In. Your. Grids. Trash Very Funny Quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18616: Poor. "Boot" was not an acceptable answer. Further, those are NOT the least reactive ELEMENTS. They are the least reactive METALS. Ever heard of noble gases??? Sock and Boot categories! Seriously?? Try harder next time, bub. Very fun quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18617: very funny quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

SAM T @ #18619: very funny quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

David Castle @ #18616: The sock category is dubious at best. (5 years, 8 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #13420: This was beyond easy, I can't believe it's rated Medium difficulty. I didn't know what an atlatl was, and I can see if you didn't know that or shillelagh, that'd be confusing - except atlatl was in the last set of words I had after figuring out the other three rows. (5 years, 8 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #368: This was actually super easy. I love that there's so much crossover - there's at least 6 blocks that could be tarot, and so many of the words are similar enough it was hard to get the connection. I liked it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #15242: Super easy, I liked it. "Black" and "cool" can fit in either category, though - black cat, black bean, cool cat, cool bean(s). (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18615: It wouldn't let me have synonyms for the marsh group or lamps for the light group. Cation and several of the writers are very obscure. (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #18616: In my view, hiking and waterproof are interchangeable in the boots and socks group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

jefco @ #18619: price you pay when there is no child filter i guess (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18609: well this made me smile (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18617: tough (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18619: well, at least I got your name right :D (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18606: thank god that i knew the pears and kinda sorta new some of the winds mixed up with some of the aerospace manufacturers; the diseases I've never heard of (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18614: lol..ok then :D (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18607: well now that i see it...:D (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18612: not my favorite; but well thought-out (minus the Mars bar :)) (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18613: I think you mean rat and not bat :) still enjoyable (5 years, 8 months ago)

LDD51 @ #18613: Really enjoyable grid with smart misdirects. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Randy @ #18612: Mars bars are not deep fried - they can be - the others are deep fried to create them. Not so with Mars. (5 years, 8 months ago)

chrisb @ #15509: apologies... (5 years, 8 months ago)

chrisb @ #15509: beretta is italian (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusterNugs @ #18607: I had a feeling that Toto songs was the category but I didn't know a single title besides Rosanna and Africa. Good one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

ynot @ #18616: By what metric are those the least reactive elements? It didn't accept metals which is certainly a less contentious correct answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18616: Boot not accepted as Ben says. Never heard of a garter sock - a garter holds up a sock? (5 years, 8 months ago)

none @ #18268: 'male animals' should be considered a correct answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18551: Wot not Thor... I have seen a few.grids use some of these.themes.before so it.can be done... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18588: I'm not looking forward to the reviews tomorrow, that's for sure (5 years, 8 months ago)

Paula @ #18614: Funny (5 years, 8 months ago)

mole @ #18617: Good work (5 years, 8 months ago)

Randy @ #18606: ridiculously difficult - for this small brain. Spent the whole time on google and still failed to get one even though by the end I knew what three of the groups probably were. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15266: well.....! rejected 'connected to xmas' when the answer was 'christmas' - hahaha - maddening (5 years, 8 months ago)

Randy @ #18616: Nice grid - not too tricky - should garter be singular? (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15282: yes a very big pity '….tree' not accepted when the answer is 'all are trees'. spoils the grid in my opinion. tho I think a lot of people take that annoyance happily in their stride. not me. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Randy @ #18614: Fun grid, but boy someone is chucking 5 star ratings around for not particularly exceptional grids (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #18616: "Boot" was not an accepted answer, nor was "anniversary". (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18603: Good quiz. Peter Crouch scores more with his feet than is head though. (5 years, 8 months ago)

hockeypolice @ #14108: What the puck? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aquastar @ #18617: Charming! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aquastar @ #18617: Charming! (5 years, 8 months ago)

hockeypolice @ #18614: In the UK, hockey has a ball, ice hockey has a puck (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #18614: lol, yes! Though Hockey has a puck. (5 years, 8 months ago)

You @ #12915: I enjoy ones with a theme (5 years, 8 months ago)

rmdk @ #18614: Haha nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dollyp67 @ #18616: Fantastic! Really great fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #18614: That made me smileL (5 years, 8 months ago)

Terry11 @ #18612: Really enjoyed this! Some of the links were very interesting - well put together (5 years, 8 months ago)

LDD51 @ #18610: Agree. Some odd groups. This had 5* when I first looked. People must be marking their own grids. This is OK but it is not a 5* grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18610: Phyllo is OK, different spelling - but Musk does not really fit in that group. Grylls group bit iffy too imo. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18613: Well, someone had to be the first numpty to type 'cat' in the wrong box when setting!! Not surprised it was me... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lisa @ #18612: Great Wall! Good challenge and very clever links (5 years, 8 months ago)

ruth @ #18607: Very nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

ruth @ #18506: not bad mate (5 years, 8 months ago)

ruth @ #18601: really great (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lifer @ #18593: Top quality grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #18610: Phyllo? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ana Tine @ #18609: excellent (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ana Tine @ #18608: Fiendish category included! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #18608: Enjoyable grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Frogster @ #18570: I enjoyed this grid but didn't accept 'clown' 'american' or 'coin' as correct. (5 years, 8 months ago)

pissed off @ #18603: I type headlands and it's incorrect, you, my friend, are a cunt xx (5 years, 8 months ago)

FS @ #18573: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

ruth @ #18608: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

You @ #17897: Easy but really fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

pedant-tree @ #18598: Not a fan of “they could all be preceded by ‘mono’ IF they were totally different, more abbreviated words than they are.” It would be an absurd number of mental operations if solvers entertained notions like that on ever board. Same goes with the third-order operation of connecting jobs to films to an actor. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JeremyP @ #18608: Loved it- very clever (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kynon @ #583: Controls on a DVD player, video etc - also found on a stereo system! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kynon @ #18594: Some of the links need to be a bit broader - for example "budgeting terms" - given that budget is one of the answers, I put "accounting terms", which should also be correct (but was marked as incorrect). (5 years, 8 months ago)

Busker @ #17563: good solve (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kynon @ #18590: I *love* Only Connect, and Jollyboat aren't too bad either. ;-) Score: 10/10, in one minute 16 seconds! :-o (5 years, 8 months ago)

Busker @ #17897: Colour theme nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

Shaz @ #18590: I got 3/4 categories right. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Busker @ #113: (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #18601: 7/10, very nice grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kevin J. Maroney @ #18567: I like when all the categories are meaning-based rather than "contains no letter A" or other orthographical quirks. I probably would have realized "Patrick" was Patrick Starr even without the Twitter clue that the puzzle was "Spongebob-y", and once I got that, everything fell into place pretty quickly. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18606: "manufacturers" and "wind" didn't get me any points :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

MH @ #15936: The answers are wrong. You can only get 4 points. My child was very disappointed. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JW @ #18603: Famous body parts was very clever, didn't get it btw. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18551: Solved but by permutations in maths rather than anything else. You have at least 3 correct grids there, Andy... so, sadly, it’s a flawed one. If it’s any consolation, I fricked around with the same two things a few weeks ago. Spent hours on it off and on - and then abandoned it as unworkable. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18603: Good one, though the celebrity body parts set is a little obscure. I guessed that they were insured! (5 years, 8 months ago)

HOWills @ #18603: For some reason the last two letters of Foot are cut off from the Beckham tile. Sorry! (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18602: Not of general interest. You need to know your Transformers lore for this, otherwise don't bother. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #5364: explanations could be set better, i had the right explanation but did not get the point. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18601: Solved with three seconds to spare! Loved this one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18560: what just happened? (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18593: I like but did not get one of the relations :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

FS @ #18593: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18561: Perturbation is the correct spelling :( all other categories go way over my head :D (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18588: :S (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18585: the railway & cigarette brands are verrry challenging; but not too bad overall (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18588: 2hrs 28mins is a long time in Puzzgrid World. (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18586: categories too similar IMO (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18581: Agree - nice tricks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18582: Smart groups. Would never have got the pane group, (5 years, 8 months ago)

ynot @ #18551: Rutherford or Bohr can switch with Einstein so not a unique grid. Shame because I loved the idea (5 years, 8 months ago)

Unimpressed @ #18560: Things I Learned Today: Squids are fish Captain America has been recast Sprat has a second, silent (and invisible) T 3Ferrets is a moron (5 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #18588: only good category was solos (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18570: @PK he styles himself after a clown and is known as the 'Clown Prince of Crime'. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18581: Great quiz. Great mix of culture and the word one. Also learnt about Quasimodo, Rigoletto and Stein. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Noggs @ #18570: Impossibly American for this Brit. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy Jollyboat @ #18590: I love this and I'm sending it to Dad immediately. (5 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #18573: nice, thanks! (5 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #18588: thanks - nice one! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18283: Duke of Earl? (5 years, 8 months ago)

fluberdunky @ #18586: uses Blue Whale twice in separate categories. Not the usual way. (5 years, 8 months ago)

A @ #15242: yes! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #208: Marblestone. Marblestone! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #18560: 2 of the groups Red & Blue didn't make sense No explanation (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18581: Quasimodo. You fiend.... :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #18584: River got me. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #1498: Good groups, got some only after I had solved the grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #12924: Great fun! (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #13152: Easy but fun. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #8815: Really clever despite added self-limitations in the types of groups chosen. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #18544: Must admit I failed miserably. But I could see the possible groups / genre. Very clever (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #7712: did not find this was hard, though blue group was hard to get (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18585: Weird. It accepted "singers". (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15303: More constructively... even though I got this easily I wouldn't use first names as a group unless they're from a much smaller and precisely defined field (Like a TV show for example). And even then you want to make sure you have some unusual names (as you did here). This actually fails though because you can swap Orson and Douglas... (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18585: I wonder how many people with use the word 'mononymous' in their answers?!?! Didn't accept 'singers known by one name' (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18585: D'oh! Didn't mean to set this to Easy. Apologies to anyone who had a tough time. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18579: Misspelling of Lansdowne threw me :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

JD @ #18584: Nice one! A mad guess on the rivers got me 10/10. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TOM @ #18573: First time. Enjoyed it. Will try more. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18579: Very pleased with my 6/10. Well set (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bongo @ #17988: Satisfying grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aardvark @ #18579: Good variety - Suprised to get 10/10 as it was a tricky one. Probably having walked down Roseburn recently to watch the rugby helped! (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #18526: Loved it, except that my answer "pony" was marked as wrong, when it wasn't !!!! BOO HOO (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ruggers @ #18579: Gosh, a bit UK-centric. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #18560: no explanation given for blue group (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #18569: good categories but the selection words could be better (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18582: Shul is the Yiddish for temple. Hope you enjoyed. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18581: Excellent grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18581: Thoroughly enjoyed this one! (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18573: Good grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18582: Good. I have never heard of a shul before, nice to learn something new. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18570: Good grid... straightforward (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18569: Allowable solution in Calico groups seems quite narrow. Otherwise good one! (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18576: You fiend! I saw two groups but just didn't manage to get them all in time. Superb grid - well put together. I'm actually quite chuffed with my 4/10! (5 years, 8 months ago)

DEAD @ #18337: toooo easy (5 years, 8 months ago)

DEAD @ #18566: DEAD (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18561: Shame about the "Turba", but otherwise a decent grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18573: Very enjoyable grid. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18576: Great grid. Scored 7/10. If you’d given me a year I wouldn’t have guessed the ‘state’ link. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18577: Sorry. It looked like Raxacoricofallapatorius fitted into the square. Clearly not. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18577: Sorry. It looked like Raxacoricofallapatorius fitted into the square. Clearly not. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15303: very weak science fictions writers' first names (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15317: alms and porn are most definitely not homophones of arms and pawn. looks like you don't pronounce rs at all...... (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #13493: the selection of words for the ass round must be tricky but it wouldn't let me have bums or arses (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15335: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15366: like your grids (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15373: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15436: all have more than 50 and have water in them!!!!!!!!!!! that begs more questions than the grid..... (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15443: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18575: tough one for me (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #469: Nice quiz, clever groups. However, some of them have alternative links. For instance, the Georgia-China group are all post-communist and all joined the UN relatively late (China was kept out by Taiwan). The islands group are all members of APEC and probably a few other regional treaty organisations. (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18551: i put gods instead of goddesses :'( (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18569: Mixer is a bit random, not a specific (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18570: Agree with PK - nice grid. thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18573: need to catch up on my slang :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18570: Not sure if the joker is technically a clown, but still it's nice :D (5 years, 8 months ago)

PK @ #18559: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18554: good grid, but wouldn't let me have "reversible" for the reversible group, and the water/oil thing is obscure, I'm sure there are other things they have in common - they can all be used to make bottle tops for instance, and I daresay they all contain carbon (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18569: too many wines and wouldn't accept "alcohol" for the bar group (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18559: really good (5 years, 8 months ago)

blorgons - eradicate @ #184: It's dumb it doesn't accept "movies" as a correct answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18502: Good red herrings meant I ran out of time but got the connections. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Q. Pheevr @ #192: The group consisting of Salmon, Hill, Heath, and Skelton can all be preceded by ‘red’: red salmon = sockeye salmon red hill = various place names, a 2010 Australian film, mounds used for making salt red heath = a flowering plant, Erica abietina Red Skelton = American comedian (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15566: chew the scenery is very very very obscure. not good. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18561: Perturbation contains another R, unless there's an alternate spelling? (5 years, 8 months ago)

124 @ #18555: It's Billie Piper not Billy....breaks the category. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Cranky @ #18504: Very nice. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Cranky @ #583: Since I got all 10 points this is the best one of these EVER. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Cranky @ #18562: I suck at these in general, but this one seemed somewhat easy for people who might know what they were doing. It's far better than I could do, if that helps. (5 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #17278: Ghg (5 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #18562: Great! (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18562: Good as usual! (5 years, 8 months ago)

alicoo @ #18502: Love this (5 years, 8 months ago)

A.B. @ #18562: Enjoyable grid, with good mix (5 years, 8 months ago)

Angela @ #18562: Very clever (5 years, 8 months ago)

MB @ #18560: Chris Evans was Captain America not Chris Pine. Sprat is spelt with 1 T not 2. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18554: I'd be very interested in your findings BinDipper. Video evidence much appreciated. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18554: If I ever see Nigel Farage swimming in deep water, Dobby, I will test that out. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #3456: only one difficult group, the purple group (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18538: agree with Project (5 years, 8 months ago)

Project2501 @ #18538: Good. The room group, not so good. I think of a room as the opposite of an open area. I thought the answer was going to be Reservation. I've not heard of J Donaldson, but that's my fault. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18561: good one :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Darran @ #6140: I said Queen for bohemian rhapsody... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Darran @ #583: Great wall, also I said tape functions. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #2748: Cool groups, hard to guess (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18554: Some good red herrings, but I'm fairly certain if you leave it long enough a sponge will sink. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #3774: Easy but fund (5 years, 8 months ago)

steve @ #18559: I got fruit group by thinking words preceded with 'black_' (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #10624: tough but fair (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #8803: Straightforward but fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrshj @ #18550: I’m a bit of a BTVS buff which is lucky as I had no chance with South Park. Enjoyed. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #12578: Really tricky to select the right members for quite obvious groups. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #15481: The groups were obvious, but selecting the right members for each group was tricky. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18528: Difficult and convoluted groups. Scored 1/10 but appreciated the challenge. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tom Brady @ #18554: Lots of Red Herring Doctors. Good Grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15634: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15642: repair not the best (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18451: eg. One of my grids had ‘knife’ and ‘fork’ in two different groups. One was in ‘words that can come after FISH’, the other in ‘things found on the dining table’. Unfortunately, ‘fish fork’ and ‘fish knife’ are both things so the two boxes were swappable. That = shit grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18451: eg. One of my grids had ‘knife’ and ‘fork’ in two different groups. One was in ‘words that can come after FISH’, the other in ‘things found on the dining table’.

Alfred @ #18552: Sneaky! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18451: Hi Andy. I haven’t done this grid but re the point you make here and in another comments section, of course there are red herrings - that is indeed the game. BUT there should only be one correct solution for the grid as a whole. When you see people complain about interchangeables it means two boxes can be swapped but the whole wall still be correct. That’s a flawed wall. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18541: Easy but fun use of some 'classic' grid elements. Scored 10/10 in 25 seconds . (5 years, 8 months ago)

fubar blahfu @ #18486: wouldn't accept "stretchy" for the rubber category (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18452: wrongly flagged as English, this is in Spanish... it's either a very easy quiz for Spanish speakers or a very difficult one for English people learning Spanish (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18451: Giggsy, Dobby there's meant to be interchangeables (red herrings) which could go in several groups, that's part of the fun, watch the show if you don't believe me! My main gripe is: it should let me have meat for the lamb group as these aren't unique to lamb. (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18447: what the heck... I don't even understand this when the answers are revealed (and yeah I was trying all kinds of stuff, chemical element symbols, roman numerals, vowels, letters that aren't in certain languages)... real bummer when I get the answers and it makes no sense (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18477: clever, lots of red herrings (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18471: "Monitor activity", WTF? And yeah, the pressing one is obscure. (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18486: very like the ones on the show (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18508: Please start using shorter versions, it wouldn't let me have Ford for the Ford group. Also could do with red herrings. Otherwise great! (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18535: It wouldn't let me have "amphibian" for the amphibians, and it wouldn't let me have "reptile" for the crocs. I got the worm group just by eliminating everything that I didn't know was an animal, then figured out "worm" later. Not so much a wall as a "sort the animals". Well done but very difficult and needs more variety. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Neil Creamer @ #618: Starch and cellulose are not sugars although they are polymers of sugars. In fact, the group are all carbohydrates. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18457: Musical artists should be accepted for that group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18436: Agree with the comments below; synonyms should be sufficient on its own; formerly not formally; clerical positions should be accepted. The quick group was clever and beat me. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15674: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #18538: nice! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #18527: Allergy dog? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #18528: I liked th mix of things e.g ‘rock’. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #18541: I put corvid in for the birds and got an incorrect! :-( Still, nice grid! Giving myself full Marks anyway! (5 years, 8 months ago)

edwardo @ #18544: solved it in under 20 seconds, which really suggests I need a hobby. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CrAmy @ #18528: Fifty isn't a shade of grey - I get the book reference but it doesn't really fit. Same with the rocks - rock is a type of music, music is not a type of rock! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Larry. @ #18544: ace grid. best this morning. (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18530: Flummoxed me. Nice switch of register to the characters from Lost, although that was mainly what threw me. Also thought the radical group was a bit too vague. Good stuff though. (5 years, 8 months ago)

bytecone @ #12435: Twas easy xD (5 years, 8 months ago)

luskentyre @ #18526: Good grid, particularly all of those Scottish island possibilities. I was a bit taken aback, though, when 'pony' was marked as incorrect. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #186: Enjoyed that one!😁 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bill Jones @ #18509: where are the answers to each grid??? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrshj @ #18502: Loved that one. Tricky but doable and deductible. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #18512: Agree with t'others. The "Places in America" doesn't work and the only cross-over was White. Sorry (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18376: It wouldn't let me have "fatal" for the death group or "Matthew, Mark, Luke and John" for the gospels group... also I felt the death group was tenuous, I can see you were trying to get red herrings for the bands group but "strangulation" and "stroke" would fit better, and opium addiction doesn't technically kill (overdose kills)... otherwise, nice quiz (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18379: deaf clue is mixing up too many types of things like the rest (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18387: have you guys ever watched the show... the groups are MEANT to overlap (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18391: Pretty good, although I'd question the claim that Sauron raises the dead, the Nazgul fade away and don't die, the other undead (barrow-wights, corpse-candles) are never linked to Sauron. I can see why you'd get it from "Necromancer" though. (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18399: lrn2spell (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18401: yeah add "communication" for the first group too (5 years, 8 months ago)

orca @ #18536: That was a BAD grid, the answers were incredibly vague and I put the right answer on several of them(I checked them afterwards) and it marked me wrong. Your answers need to improve Marshmallow. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #9708: Very good wall. Should accept 'synonyms' for first group though. (5 years, 8 months ago)

andy @ #18408: "born in New York" is rather too broad a category, and the "heart" category includes things related in different ways (lionheart AFTER, heart attack BEFORE, cardiology ABOUT, sacre-coeur TRANSLATES) which the show would never do... love the other two categories though! (5 years, 8 months ago)

r u trollin @ #18410: Back is not a homophone of Bach, it's said closer to "Bark", but with a German "ch" sound at the end. Otherwise, nice quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

r u trollin @ #18533: wtf is a seagate, watergate or lionsgate? is festivus meant to be festivals? if so wtf is an airing or a strike? and wtf is clandestines? is this a game reference? very bad groups (5 years, 8 months ago)

Q. Pheevr @ #8000: I do think you should accept Btls, Prm Mnstrs, and Mrcn Prsdnts for the connections. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18526: Enjoyed reading up on the Eriskay pony (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mummy @ #18479: (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18522: B. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18497: Very clever quiz (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #18518: I enjoyed this grid. Good mix. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mart @ #6140: Is Calypso a dance? I thought it was a style of song (5 years, 8 months ago)

usa @ #18504: good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

usa @ #18509: fiva- at least check spellings (5 years, 8 months ago)

usa @ #18512: places in america- terrible group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18509: Yes, and in the book it's spelt 'Fiver' (5 years, 8 months ago)

all women @ #13910: #metoo (5 years, 8 months ago)

A.A. @ #18518: Nice mix (5 years, 8 months ago)

A.A. @ #18519: Quite nice. I would argue that an acceptable answer for the 'growl' group, is 'noises made from throat/mouth' ! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bin Dipper @ #18512: There are a couple of cross overs but, like Gofer, I don’t understand the California group. I think have either states or cities but not a combo - and unless there’s an obscure cross-over in there that very few will spot, that whole link doesn’t join with the rest of the puzzle. It’s a shame because otherwise it could all work. :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18512: Didn't spot any crossovers in this one. Nitpicking... the LA group doesn't really work... they are all in or are California. Places in America? (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18502: Excellent... combined crossovers and clues. 5 stars from me (same as I scored!!) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18509: I wonder if that "movie" might have been a book first? 🤔 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Marshmallow @ #18511: Brilliant (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duckchaos @ #18502: Quality grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

jefco @ #18504: Pretty good. I liked (5 years, 8 months ago)

gabbagabbahey @ #18502: Enjoyed this one, particularly as I got all the connections quite quickly, but had some trouble finding the right groups. Well done :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rantos @ #18502: Great fun! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18496: Very clever! (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #18227: yep. me too, fictional heroes. and i wrote spirits for alcohol, which is what i meant so i scored rather poorly on a puzzle i finished rather quickly. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wikipedia @ #2059: Hi! I know this is kind of off-topic however I needed to ask. Does managing a well-established blog like yours require a massive amount work? I'm brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any suggestions or tips for new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it! https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/amazon-wikimedia-wikipedia-donation-1-million-emotional-intelligence.html (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18502: Enjoyed this grid very much! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jeanjeannie @ #14578: Great grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18498: Nice one. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18502: Loved it. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

AP @ #18227: Definitely agree with Omegaman (5 years, 8 months ago)

gabbagabbahey @ #18491: It let me get the connection on the forth category despite the fact I got it wrong (I thought skater linked them all, and got it write because skater has 's' in it). (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18439: Excellent: entertaining, inventive. Agree with Lucy though; in my case I had "words denoting confirmation" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jason @ #583: That was good fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

Maggie @ #18497: Not responding well want to know correct answers. Victoria would be disappointed (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18500: Tough but a good grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

confused @ #11354: Should accept Native American tribes.... "Red Indian" is not a very considerate term (5 years, 8 months ago)

confused @ #11355: what the **** is a cock robin? or a cock horse? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Larry. @ #121: My only problem is with "under ground" and "under water" vs "underfire and underpressure". (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18498: 5 of each so a good quota of red herrings. Perhaps could have made one of the groups harder by using some with different word endings. Enjoyed the grid though. Thank you. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18488: Interesting grid. A platypus isn't a marsupial though, it's an egg laying mamma, made it kind of difficult to solve. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ry @ #17075: Country park? (5 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #18498: a good grid well done (5 years, 8 months ago)

snog @ #1739: its was snogging difficult man (5 years, 8 months ago)

Blueboo @ #18495: Word one not great (5 years, 8 months ago)

jane salt @ #18496: good mix up (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18488: Now that it is resolved it is so obvious! I am a little annoyed at my self for not doing better. A very good grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18495: Nice grid. Maybe you’ve never heard Angela Rippon pronounce guerilla, or Pamela Stephenson imitating Angela Rippon pronouncing guerilla. Thank you :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

BlueTuna @ #18495: Very clever grid. To clever for me Im afraid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BlueTuna @ #18495: (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooClever @ #18495: *not impossible. oops! (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #18495: Red herrings everywhere. A veritable labyrinth of possibilities. A very well constructed grid. Challenging but impossible. thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18494: This was a sprint grid. I gave myself 5 minutes to make one. It’s pretty flawed. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18478: Superb. A classic Andy P grid :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18494: Decent enough grid - quite difficult - scored 4/10 (moral 5/10 after I didn't hit your terms for the Runner group). I had a feeling that Barlow/Headline/Lappin might be together as a group of words that also form new words when separated into two halves, but that turned out to be Fake News. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18478: Too often when I make them I get 3 good groups and then think, “How the frick can I link those with those?” and the answer that emerges is some spurious word game. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18484: Clever... I put totally the wrong answer in the Bernard & Lydia group and was marked right. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18491: Black Plague is just about a thing but, as B. Lard points out, it’s rarely used. Too many of the same type of link for my taste but that’s a personal thing. Cheers Giggsy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18478: Exactly my logic too - when I make grids, they tend to end up being in groups of 5/5/5/4 or 6/5/5/4, so I'm glad you see the '4' as being the tough one - that is deliberate most of the time. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18485: Personally don't like adding different letters, but that maybe just me. Otherwise good - enjoyable challenge (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duckchaos @ #18488: As a fellow wildlife enthusiast I loved this. Good crossovers for those in the know...might be very difficult for some, the equivalent of Pokémon or computer games questions for me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18478: A splendid grid. I can see it would be a doddle if you got the Bowl group first, but I always think that that type of group is the hardest to spot and red herrings for that group tend not to be so crucial. (This site is crying out for a forum to discuss how to make/solve these jobbies.) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duckchaos @ #18487: I really enjoy grids like these, thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18487: I enjoy this type of puzzle... got 2 groups no problem, but found the clues on the other 2 a bit tenuous. Still not sure how empty fits? (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18491: Nice idea. Not heard of it being called the black plague before though - black death or bubonic plague are the terms most will be familiar with. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Finlay Bell @ #2661: YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR ANSWERS BOIIIII (5 years, 8 months ago)

DisintegratingByParts @ #18479: Good grid, but bit miffed they wouldn't accept nut for the first one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18478: I'm disappointed you think there are not enough crossovers, but fair enough, I suppose if you get the Bowl group first then it does indeed look to be that way, because that's the Glue (get it?) that holds the rest of the grid together - the entirety of that line potentially fits elsewhere. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15796: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #15843: never ever heard of catfish to swindle, and as every school child should (operative word) know "i before e except after c" (with one or two exceptions of course but not the word deceive) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18490: Is strike really an action? Shot maybe - strike-r is more common (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18484: clever grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18470: No, I'm a genius! - he's Spartacus. Who's on first? Great grid. Fooled by Boy Blue description so only 7 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18471: Not so good. Print group does not work imo. Not sure a steering wheel does that - so groups mainly too vague. (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18487: tough but good (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18479: Doesn't accept 'Mount' or 'Mountains' for the mountain group, and doesn't accept 'nut' for the nuts group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CB @ #4165: Thought it hard, but only because I didn't know the Crystal maze..-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18479: Nothing to it... There are some good easy grids, but they have more overlap between groups or red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18478: I liked the Theron group in particular. (5 years, 8 months ago)

KA @ #18470: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

S @ #18479: Mountains not accepted for some feason (5 years, 8 months ago)

KA @ #18479: "Mount....." should be accepted as an answer for Olympus etc (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18478: nice but not too many crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18479: Pretty easy - maybe add some crossovers and misdirects (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ness @ #18457: You accepted my link for 'numbers' but not for 'music'????? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18451: A few interchange-ables there so not strictly a unique grid. Also baulked at breast of lamb. But fun, thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18457: Couple of broad groups there (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18413: nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18466: I'm sure you didn't comment on your own grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18467: Don't like numbers grids so didn't bother (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18450: Good one BD - one of your best - Trough and Plough are perfectly acceptable - seen far more tenuous connections here. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18359: ....and the hanging group all show an image of something even if one is a reflection! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18359: The verb/noun group can also all be followed by "up" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Citrus @ #18419: 'UK poets' is probably just too broad of a descriptor to be manageable here. In fact, as I looked to re-word the poet description to sufficiently narrow it (I figured Poets' Corner would be a good limited list) I noted a Gordon (though an Aussie) there as well. Probably should toss the thing and rewrite to disinclude both James and Gordon. There are plenty of other steamies on Sodor, after all. Thanks for the notes, I will have to be more careful moving forward. (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #9646: not too hard (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18458: Normally an admirer of your grids Aetees but I think this one needed Two Reeds on there as well. Without it, it's just the 3 obvious plus one of two others to make a link so 5 seconds of a job. And then that link almost automatically makes the 2nd link too. A rare miss on your part. :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18458: Mixed feelings on that one - two easy groups and two very tough to discern - I imagine there would have been any number of arbitrary ways to differentiate between two discrete groups of animals. Cheers though. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18457: I liked it. The numbers one is a little nebulous though, a great many other numbers could fit the category and as there aren't any other numbers in the grid the answer may as well just be 'they are numbers'. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18450: Well, we don't tend to cultivate land with horses any more, and unless you have a horse you're unlikely to have a trough from which he or she can drink. "Horse trough" produces over half a million hits on Google, "horse plough" 28,000. In other news, 'musket' is a bit obscure. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18441: Very good (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18436: Agree with the others... Prior in a Priory, Abbot in an Abbey. The wording for the earlier group solution didn't accept synonyms! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18436: You mean 'formerly', not 'formally.' (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #18426: They are literally synonyms. Google it (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hoidie @ #18428: why do "religious buildings" not cover the notre dame etc? Duomo just a cathedral, not necessarily a famous one like the one in Florence. Get the clues right! (5 years, 8 months ago)

ruth @ #47: the musical scale is the tonic solfa scale. and the US state abbrevations can have -in added to make words. (5 years, 8 months ago)

ruth @ #12814: synonyms of each other? obviously. it needs to say what they mean (5 years, 8 months ago)

A.P. @ #18431: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

P.G. @ #18436: Quite a nice grid . I think the answer "religious positions" should be accepted for "Prior etc " group especially as you get deacons outside monasteries. (Also noticed 'formally') (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18424: Solved it despite having only primitive Spanish. That's not because I'm particularly bright but because there are no red herrings or crossovers, so all you have to do is spot the obvious. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Roger @ #18436: It should be formerly, not formally. (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18423: I often moan about obscurity, but this one errs on the side of oversimplicity. Also needs a spellcheck and some pointers on use of capitals. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18431: I agree with Ian (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18426: Not synonyms... hey ho! (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18418: A really well constructed grid with decent crossovers and red herrings but I have a bit of an issue with the Peach group. Two are also pink and one i've only ever heard of as a fruit. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18431: Great grid, particularly the aztec link, thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

drgkjdf @ #583: tape controls is correct (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18430: Mugwump. Sorry about that. Dying should have worked. I must have mistyped it somehow. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18420: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18424: Would be useful if grid setters would say Spanish in name, at least! (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18429: Excellent... stared and stared at this then boom! Very clever grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18430: Maybe would have got the Bucket line if the others had been plural as they are in the euphamisms. Otherwise good, although pure guess on the Bowser line! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzle fan @ #6140: Enjoyed it (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tbone @ #18423: Before anyone corrects me, I know it's "were" not "where" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tbone @ #18423: Where there any red herrings at all? Seems like there's no game if it's just 4 obvious groups. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Emma @ #18420: 6/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #8437: Brilliant! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrshj @ #18428: I didn’t love the s on the end of the state capitals. Seemed to be pointless. Duomo just means cathedral in Italian so whilst I got it I’m not sure it was consistent and what is the obsession with American salad dressings?! Sorry- maybe I’m in a grump today. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18430: Solved the grid but didn't get the Ace, Fire line. Also was not given "dying phrases" which I'm not sure why. (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #18360: I put 5 instead of five and therefore got one wrong :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Hopkins @ #18405: Nice! (5 years, 8 months ago)

s jones @ #17598: (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #18383: Thanks for the feedback, and good point about the older user. I got 10/10. (5 years, 8 months ago)

vj @ #4613: great, but the system does not recognize some solutions (5 years, 8 months ago)

vj @ #10981: cool creatures (5 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Hopkins @ #18425: I messed this one up. Try 18427 instead. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Steven with legs @ #17838: GET WRECKED I DESTROYED THIS GRID (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18424: The Spanish grids are back! This site needs an admin to make grids private. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #18387: The point I was making was that in said film the concept of A time phone exists just as much as the concept of A bat phone does, albeit less well known. It still fits. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18419: Easy but fun, 10/10 in 46 seconds. In response to the below, I've never heard of Christopher James so I didn't realise the alternative solution. Fortunate in a way. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Claire @ #18400: This was a great challenge! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18326: X - It does - or at least I set it that way - why wouldn't I - although it's not asking much for you to add the 's' - they are bridges (plural), they are not 'a bridge' (5 years, 8 months ago)

Pedant @ #18407: don't want to sound too knowledgeable on the subject, but I've only eve heard Charlie used to describe cocaine not Heroin. 'A MINOR' quibble as the connection still works fine. Good grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Pedant @ #18419: Nice grid. I just about managed it, however you could swap THOMAS and JAMES around and still achieve a correct grid, due to THOMAS obviously being in Thomas and Friends and the British poet Christopher JAMES who would fit in the poet group. So not a unique solution I'm afraid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18399: Sorry to jump in too but I don't think litter fits in that group - it is not something you do that thing 'to' which the others are. Also personally not a fan of words that can go before or after rather than one or the other - but others don't mind that so much (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ry @ #18367: 'Scam' should also be acceptable for the bilk group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Guido Dipietro @ #18384: 0/10, this was impossible (added to that I didn't understand or know some of the cell's names) (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18366: top grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

o @ #18399: Sandwitch is awful, and the misspelling of mussel is annoying. Otherwise the two other categories were too similar for me (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jules @ #18405: Range isn't an average. Good one though (5 years, 8 months ago)

Evelyn @ #18410: good crosovers. Just one thing - I would pronounce Bach with a soft ' ch' ( like loch), so wouldn' t have made this connection. This might not be the correct pronounciation though (5 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #18379: Brilliant! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Beebbop @ #18404: Interesting grid. I got all the groups some just randomly but I couldn't name the connection. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Solver @ #18401: "ways of sending a message" should be accepted as correct for "note, letter" etc (5 years, 8 months ago)

jeddy @ #60: Got the gang of four pretty quick but it took me a long time to get the royal houses. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18385: Liked this grid - not super-hard but good red herrings made it fun. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #18391: good wall (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dolfan82 @ #9863: Wing Ding????? (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18374: Comments about lesson spot on, but still pretty good. I liked blunt instrument, flummoxed me with the spies (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18316: Agree largely with Rory, but think having the same number twice in the anagram solution was a bit of a cop-out. You could have had, e.g. tow for two (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18369: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dh @ #18383: 2 for me too (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18374: I agree with you. Lesson was weak but I didn't like the alternatives either. Mark was the best of a bad bunch. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18365: Cheers all. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Maz @ #18399: A muscle is not a shellfish, but a mussel is (5 years, 8 months ago)

Pedant @ #18399: Muscle? (5 years, 8 months ago)

X @ #18326: It should accept "bridge" as an acceptable answer for the bridges! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ade @ #18365: Excellent. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

X @ #18369: Not sure Toulouse-Lautrec was actually "a dwarf" -think he had short legs for other reasons. Was not allowed "bad-tempered" as an answer to the "peppery" row (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18365: Bindipper we've all been there... (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #8884: good fun, good job (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bells @ #18391: Enjoyed (5 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #18357: Harder than a coffin nail that one....0/10...and lucky to get that (5 years, 8 months ago)

No @ #4988: Pathetic (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rory @ #18316: Well, what can I say about this Puzz Grid? It was well-formed, challenging, but amusing in equal measure. I rate this grid 4 out of 5 for it's originality, ingenuity and entertaining factors. (5 years, 8 months ago)

dog cat @ #184: eat doges they are in pizza and fish (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18389: should have been 10/10... but I didn't write the solutions en espagnol! (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18391: Really liked this one. Challenging and well constructed. Small gripe that 2 of my (badly phrased?) solutions while correct, were not accepted. But 4 stars from me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nicetea @ #15138: Nice red herring with Deuteronomy! (5 years, 8 months ago)

VJ @ #17580: Great methodical quiz. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18365: I found that very difficult personally. Scored 2/10. Surprised everyone is saying they scored so high. Then again I did feel like an idiot after not spotting the Eagle line. The Banana line was clever and original - fair play on that one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aldo @ #18312: Bolton is a town not a city. 'Free' comes before not after. Good grid otherwise. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lucy b @ #18366: Brilliant grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18390: Yes, you definitely meant to make these private. Oh well. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18389: Did you mean to make this public? It is possible to make a grid private when you submit it. That keeps it off the homepage but you can still link it to friends or, in this case most likely, your students in your class. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18386: Good grid, nice variety. Scored 5/10. It was the Salvador line that basically caused all the lost points, as you might expect! Cheers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Vixen @ #18385: Great grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18387: TCBH - I believe that film is called "The Time Phone" so it wouldn't work. FirstGofer - I tried to cover as much as I could with the linking terms so apologies if I missed any. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #18387: There is a film called Time Phone and Bat spelled backwards is TAB so you could argue that those two answers could swap over to produce more than one correct solution to the grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18385: Loved it! Classic grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18387: Good grid... could do with a little more leeway on one solution. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ruggers @ #18302: Brilliant. Cracking. Viper/adder group should also accept "snakes". 7/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18383: Difficult, scored 2/10, but a nice mix of content. Good for older users perhaps. Cheers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tarryn @ #18368: Very great (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18344: I've never seen anyone do "Iron things" as a group before, how original! Really though it was okay. I was a bit miffed it wasn't as expansive as it could have been with the terms we needed to identify the Kane line, because it marked me as incorrect. To have to specify the exact award they all apparently won was a bit tough. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18380: Some really nice overlaps and connections there. Unfortunately I guessed the wrong way with the Mallory line when I was down to two groups left and only scored 5/10 instead of 7/10. Never heard of any of the Metropolis line, so that stopped the grid being too easy I suppose. Cheers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18379: Either. A few old friends, but splendidly remixed (5 years, 8 months ago)

Darren Siew @ #18384: (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #18382: for the tale connection to work it should be WINTER'S and KNIGHT'S and arguably 'TWO CITIES'. Even then you have the frowned upon situation where some precede the word and some proceed, which is also the case with the Onion group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #18374: German lesson is a bit weak as a connection I think. Maybe I'm being harsh. Still a nice grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #18375: I believe Merkel is head of the government, but the head of state in Germany is the president. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ry @ #13296: The CW generals are also each American forts. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ry @ #15168: Very clever. 'Chicken sounds' was insufficeint for the rooster group, seems punitive. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duke @ #8441: Got the lot, fun quiz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ry @ #3225: Of note, entering an actual exclamation point was not sufficient for the point. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18290: Synonyms should be accepted for the imitation group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #18379: Doorpost surely (5 years, 8 months ago)

Spicy @ #18381: Thumbs up, although you need to stop stealing my pseudonym and you accidentally left the difficulty as "very easy". (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jeanjenie @ #18356: Great grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #18379: nice grid, though i had never heard of 'deaf as a doorknob'. (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #18366: 👍 (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16157: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18360: '5' was not accepted as a group 'detectives' not accepted as a group otherwise, a good grid and I got all the links apart from the one containing Snapdragon :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wankers @ #9080: This has to be the dumbest grid I have ever tried. Synonyms, synonyms and dumbass comics. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Julian Spicer @ #18375: A wonderful creation. A marvel of engineering. A magnificent puzzle. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18347: Duckchaos: Add it to the list. A decent grid, so I thought, ruined by a multitude of errors and omissions in the links/descriptions. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18365: Nice grid! I found it all very apt. Neither too difficult nor too insipid. 5* (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18369: That should be Stratton not Stratto (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18365: Thanks. I think this is the best grid I've ever done so I should be getting 3 stars by the time it's dropping off page one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18330: Oh yes. Another clerical error. (5 years, 8 months ago)

msb35 @ #18360: got the groups but couldn't get the individual bits! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18349: There is no last link... they appear in the order you solve them (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18355: Got stuck looking for garbage group, damnit. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duckchaos @ #18347: Rhinoceros and tapir have more than one!!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jules @ #583: Liked that - quite straight forward (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18330: So you abbreviated fecking and you're complaining it didn't match? SMH :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18365: Now that was a grid. 5* (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jules @ #18340: Very good but I'm a bit thick (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duckchaos @ #18365: Enjoyed this, probably because I got 10/10! Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jules @ #18349: Don't understand last link (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18354: Or I've absentmindedly put charts, plural. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Gridder @ #18349: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18354: I must have left the keyword section blank, Gridder. Apologies. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Gridder @ #18354: I think you should really accept "chart" where you put the answer as "kinds of chart" ! (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18349: Very witty, most enjoyable, despite Des Tutu being a non-starter (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18330: I put 'Figment of the imagination of feckin' lunatics' and I too was denied a point. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18304: Good point, well made, Simon. Thinking about it, there are a lot of vehicles that should also get a point, that won't. I'll give myself a good talking to over my Crunch Nuts. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Simon Bennett @ #18304: Homophones could equally be parts of a car, which I put and was marked incorrect (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18355: Calm yourself down Froomey; you'll need your inhaler. In the immortal words of me: There's no such thing as obscure. There are only gaps in one's knowledge. :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18354: I suspect Terry would be in a dilemma on that one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Simon Bennett @ #18330: I put ‘apparitions’ for the ghosts group and was marked incorrect (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #12209: Fry and Bear were good red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #16197: It would've been OK if it were three letters. Two consecutive is entirely unremarkable. Otherwise good. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18354: OK - but not as enjoyable as the footie was on Friday night. (5 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #18349: Loved it! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18355: A touch obscure in parts! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18356: A really nice grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18295: Good use of 'C' as red herring (5 years, 8 months ago)

Froomey @ #18355: Don't be such a prat about drugs (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18295: Good use of 'C' as red herring (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18315: Lovely quiz.Fell hook, line and sinker for the Dad's Army red herring (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18344: It's not even double barrelled. It's a middle name. Poor choice. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #18343: Kicking myself for not seeing foxes. 'He' is a bit weak. You mispelt Carroll. Enjoyed it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #18356: I struggled - could identify pairs of things but finding the third and fourth was hard - even using the try everything method - nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #18358: Nice one - took me quite a while to get them in order (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #18357: Couldn't fathom any immediate links on that one so really struggled (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #18359: They are flowers - regardless of being girls names - you can name somebody anything nowadays... and no crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18338: His brain went missing from the US national archives in 1966, MT. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #18360: Not bad - got the groups quickly even though wasn't sure re two of the groupings (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18344: Because of the zeppelin group... but yeah. Moral of the story is, don't try to force a link that's not quite there. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18332: I was so upset at not getting the song, i cried all the way to the chip shop... 7/10. can't see anyone getting that, but I can see what.you were aiming to do (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18338: Apart from the somewhat tenuous Kennedy inclusion- none of him disappeared without an awful lot of dry cleaning- this didn't intrigue - There wasnt anything I could see that wasn't an actual link. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Georgia @ #18333: Singers are also artists (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18349: Looking forward to the follow up with Nels, Thers and Jezza Christ. Cheers. Good fun. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18332: Possibly got to be a certain age Rantos? :-(( (5 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #18349: Tutu doesn't really work in that group, because he's never really known by that name - might have worked if you'd had another person instead of 'Moines'. Good theme overall though, and a challenge. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18357: A stiff challenge indeed (for me at least), but enjoyable and fair (no groans at the end). I could see two, but got neither out (just the links after the reveal). (5 years, 8 months ago)

someone @ #18192: Didn't accept 'John' or 'chair' as answers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dh @ #18333: That's way i mucked about so long. I was looping for pidgin english (5 years, 8 months ago)

Duurrr @ #1618: Mobile and August only have one pronunciation in English. A reall daft grid that was very, very simple apart from an error in the connection for the red group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18349: Loved the theme! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18347: We all do it now and then. You can't always cover all of the bases. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18349: I doubt anyone has ever referred to the most reverend as such, but it raised a smile. As it happened I solved them in exactly the right order so the last two were write-ins, even though the penultimate stretched a point for me and without having the least idea about the final group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rantos @ #18349: 1/10! Wow! (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18347: Apologies. A bit of an oversight. I think I might have missed ubbs(rq) too. Not great on the linking terms this time round. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rantos @ #18332: I was able to solve the grid fairly quickly but had no idea what the jilted John category could be, so 7/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18103: Quite easy to spot the connections quickly and there's a lack of crossovers and red herrings. A bit of inconsistency linking the clues to the answers as well. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18354: That would be "Oh", but if you continue with the literacy lessons, there's hope for you. (5 years, 8 months ago)

terry @ #18354: O _________? O what a waste of my time (5 years, 8 months ago)

someone @ #2166: "Romeo and Juliet" wasn't an accepted answer, and neither was "phonetic alphabet" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grid solver @ #18103: Fun but maybe bit repetitive. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18347: Solved with 5 seconds to spare! Didn't accept SHATV (ROT13) as an answer for the Horse group though :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

someone @ #18112: wouldn't accept invasions as an answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #18326: Nice red herrings. One of those grids where you know what the groups are but it's a nightmare trying to separate them all out! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18326: Good grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #18348: Got very confused by this one but as soon as I saw the solution it was one of those grids that makes you go 'Oh of COURSE'. Nice. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16162: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16183: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16196: pieces line - terrible. did you actually know about puff pieces or hit pieces? - have my doubts. do not think these phrases if indeed they are real phrases are in general or even limited use. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18306: I'm with Dipper (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18344: Why choose Floyd when it is a double barrelled name and that is only half of it? - so many others to choose from (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18285: Wouldn't accept synonyms. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18276: Some football grounds there that I am not familiar with. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18273: Papal names not accepted or synonyms for corruption (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18269: Agree with Bathboy but wouldn't have guessed the connection if it had been right so good idea. (5 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #18259: You can swap lion and cobra... (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #12833: The "fight" row can also legitimately be described by "animals" :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #2096: Suggest adding "residences" for the homes row. Good grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hunter5 @ #18326: Great grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18330: Gem of a comment Xantippe, ya barmpot. :-)) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18330: Nice grid. Required some thinking but a rare 10/10 for me. (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18333: Maybe I'm missing the point here, but isn't it Papua New Guinea (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #18325: Too simple to be much of a challenge (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18341: Was sure that raven could go on the group with Jet... but no, she was on the US show. Nicely done, though. Only thing is that it's quite a familiar theme, as it were... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Xantippe @ #18330: Banshee is a spirit not a ghost (5 years, 8 months ago)

Marky @ #18335: What’s a ‘provice’? (5 years, 8 months ago)

CADTeam @ #18337: Sort your answers out (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18335: Pointless (5 years, 8 months ago)

Vicky @ #18331: I really enjoyed the wall. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18313: Cheers Grug. It's a shame we don't have a decent forum on here to discuss how to make grids. I'd love to know other methods. I always start with the (potential of) red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18268: A bit too easy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18324: Tricky and good. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18324: Great grid. Got 10/10 with 22 seconds to spare and it gave the grey matter a thorough workout. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Calpol Cal @ #18268: Another great quiz from Jowens :D (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #18313: Your grids are great Mr Dipper, my head is bent but your aim is true. Got the connections but the red herrings almost ended me. Keep these coming. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dave Davis @ #583: Lame (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wes @ #18319: Lift group is crap mate. Sorry (5 years, 8 months ago)

TwixxedFlax @ #18318: Very nice - not too difficult but enough ambiguity in the answers (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18313: I know. Tracie because there’s a shortage of her commodity. Non-fiction she’s probably the 4th most famous in the UK. Floaters has stuck with me because, while it’s not the worst, I think it’s the least understandable number one of all time. Dull-di-feckin-dull-dull. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18318: Agree (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18304: Tons of fun BD - Gere group is inspired. Well played. Happy to have solved it (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18313: Hi BD - Floaters and Tracie were a bit random I thought (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wikipedia @ #2059: You ought to take part in a contest for one of the most useful websites on the web. I am going to highly recommend this site! https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/amazon-wikimedia-wikipedia-donation-1-million-emotional-intelligence.html (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #3757: TIL that a barberry is a thing, and that Nightingale is a square. :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #5633: Outstanding! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18319: couple of iffy groups imho - Waiter does not really fit in that group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Daffy @ #18325: Very simple (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18325: People giving themselves 5* for their own grids methinks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Melissa @ #445: Tom is at the front and the end of the clue. This is a bit naughty (5 years, 8 months ago)

leem @ #18298: a decent puzz! (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #98: Another vote for "solfa" not being accepted - but that's cool, I know it can't accept all the possible answers and I know I got it right :) Nice one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

leem @ #11921: Dionysis is Greek not Roman. Otherwise a satisfactory puzzle! (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #8441: Got the shuttles straight away, with one red herring attempt. Then the same for the albums. But failed to get the last two, even though I spotted the channel thing, because "English" didn't occur to me. Damn semantics. :) Also, I don't know of most of these movies... (5 years, 8 months ago)

kinetic @ #3188: Didn't recognise a single Elton song, even after I saw them listed. Sigh. (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18306: brilliant but could not see until grouped (5 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #149: Really easy, and I agree with Natalichka, weather systems should have been accepted! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18232: I put South Atlantic islands in the same vein as Hebridean islands so I agree with Lindy below. Scope of acceptable answers needs expanding (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18227: I think "fictional heroes" is a better answer than the one given. I have never heard of Waldo Kitty and doubt anyone who has would come up with the given answer to link these names. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dan @ #583: All those buttons are also found on a tape deck. (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16517: got all right but curiously got all answers incorrect.... eg I said 'card games terms' and answer should have been, believe it or not, 'terms used in card games'. (and sorry but not all these terms are used in bridge, Omegaman) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18311: Some clever connections there. Thought the Pet line was a bit weak but fair enough really. Cheers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18318: Easy but fun. Thanks! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18279: Nice! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18288: Nice grid, ( though Giggsy is right.) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18290: Agreed! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18291: Neat! Suggest culinary as a possible answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18292: Nice grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

bobtheterrier @ #15077: v good (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18317: Thanks for the grid Teapot. Enjoyed playing. I think this one has the problem of more than one solution because in the Ball and the Bat groups you can swap certain words and it still gives you a viable solution. Problem may be that the definitions are too broad. :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18293: 10 seconds! That's a record :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18294: shouldn't require TV in solution... are there any other kind? Otherwise good (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18295: Nice easy grid, but agree with Dobby (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18297: The Wales solution is quite specialist for an otherwise easy grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18306: Scored a big fat zero. However, I like grids with a twist now and then. I don't think they all have to conform to the OC wall. This was well put together... I just didn't get it, which is no criticism of the grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #18101: nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18311: Nice one. Just didn't see the Ton connection... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Coochies @ #14986: That was tremendous. (5 years, 8 months ago)

steve @ #18308: spent far too long looking for captains (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #18308: Really easy tbh. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Pockets @ #1475: That was crap - got all the right connections but failed to capitalise etc and was told wrong - NO I WAS RIGHT... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #3072: Kournikova Never a Wimbledon champion (5 years, 8 months ago)

Marten @ #18295: Easy peasy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18308: 10/10 in exactly a minute. Loved the grid. Some good crossovers and red herrings in there. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Timmon @ #18117: It's Julia not Nadia for the Ab Fab (5 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzler @ #18293: Quite a good grid. Bit picky to not allow Coldplay because put as two words. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #18290: .....or counterfeit. Good grids but you do need to expand your linking terms (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #18292: A few of these have been a bit hit and miss Mick but this one's a cracker. Keep it up! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzler @ #18304: Good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzler @ #18304: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #18306: This is a great grid, difficult and fiendishly off beat. A nice change from the usual fare. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18306: I like the thinking (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jon @ #18266: bounty hunter great (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18306: Meant to add a comment after posting but got whisked away from my desk. This is intended as being more like 4 Only Connect first round questions in a wall, as opposed to an archetypal wall. No biggie if you don't enjoy it, but I hope some do. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #4872: Whoops!!!..Hurst????? (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18306: Aye, European languages spoken by tens of millions of people are desperately obscure. On the other hand, I didn’t like it either. My reason - because it was wholly a translation test, no misdirection, no red herrings; therefore not really an OC wall imo (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lyndon @ #18306: too obscure (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #9913: turn? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #10280: The Scrabble one is unfair. You can only score that with 2 Z tiles in a game. 😳 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18302: 7/10 - had no chance with the Palestine group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18295: Nice easy grid. Didn't accept "(Person's surname) Films" as an answer though :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aylesford 6th form @ #18295: Smiley face (5 years, 8 months ago)

Laura @ #96: Not accepting "legend" for the red category and using "story" as the definition when one of the words IS "story" is a bit sketchy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18284: 10/10. Good grid! Unlike Giggsy I had no problem with the Dick group and Bianca is probably equally as well known as any other in that group taking into account numerous reality TV show appearances in recent times. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrshobiejoe @ #18299: Could “bay” be added to the correct answers please. Presumably it was expecting bays. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18298: Mongoose is a tad odd in that group - otherwise a nice grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

pedant-tree @ #15050: A “score” isn’t really a unit of time — it just means 20 of something. Just like a “dozen” isn’t a unit of donuts. When Lincoln said “four score and seven years,” he just meant [(4x20)+7] years. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ranto @ #18293: Solved it despite not knowing Wimbledon names. So an enjoyable 7/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18295: Fun - surprised I managed 10. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18284: Dick group too vague - and Bianca a stretch in terms of any kind of general notoriety/awareness in that group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18288: stenography is not the name of a specific code as the others are so it does not really fit in that group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18289: bit basic - try more crossovers - sometimes less is less (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18293: easy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18276: Not that easy unless you are a castle nut. (5 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #18294: good basic grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18225: The "popular places" are also Italian cities. (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #17580: tricky but satisfying to complete (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #17689: enjoyable grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18274: Easy grid. Thank you. Would not accept "Mister". (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #18282: great. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18273: Easy grid, but wouldn't accept "Star signs". (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18276: Easy, enjoyable grid. Did not accept clergy homes. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18264: Guides and Rainbows are part of Girguiding, not scouting... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18268: A cock is a bird rather than an animal.... (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #18273: pretty easy but nice. I wrote 'dirty money', got rejected. eh.. (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #17717: (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #17717: nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18278: Enjoyable. (PS Blenheim) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18287: Very nice grid. Well done. Pedant Alert: misspelt parallelogram (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #17718: nice grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18293: Enjoyed it. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18295: Excellent grid. Tested my powers of deduction. Thank you. (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18036: nice easy little grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

JJNNYY @ #18293: Fantastic (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16791: thank you, BaconLard! Gottit! Really quite simple!!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

JAK260882 @ #18253: Thanks for the comments, and sorry that it doesn’t accept the connection for one of them, not sure what I did wrong entering it... (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18109: looking at the answers can still not see the conections in green line (5 years, 8 months ago)

CP @ #18278: Too many red herrings (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18162: got too confident blew it on the spin offs (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #8355: Good one - nice Paul McCartney link - but languages not my strong point (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18197: never heard of a stink eye (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #10577: Really good - I was struggling but once I'd sussed the River connection and realised that an X is a Ray it fell in to place (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #6833: good board - like the family word group and the followed by a number - caught me out (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #184: Good board - nearly blew it on monopoly and crosses - one life left (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #1396: nice one - didn't get the mattresses - I don't think we have Full in UK - and the word one is good (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18244: nice easy one (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #6140: Nice One - Bohemian Rhapsody very good - shame I didn't know my cats (5 years, 8 months ago)

FlipMick @ #583: Showing my age - I tried tape cassette for the link on stop, eject etc... haha - no probs, quite a good board (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18273: nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18274: answers need to be to precise (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18277: good (5 years, 8 months ago)

colin @ #18278: enough red herrings to make it a race against the clock (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18266: 10/10 - my kind of grid. Have yourself 5 stars! "Call it extreme if you like, but I propose we hit it hard and hit it fast with a major - and I mean major - leaflet campaign." (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18275: To be fair, they've never played at a Cricket World Cup as well, among many, many other possibilities. They're just countries, can't deny that I'm afraid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

ntk @ #18273: Nice one, completed pretty quickly. I got the groups and 3/4 connections, tried "corruption" on the illegal payments but I see how that wouldn't be specific enough. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #15243: 'body parts' is more correct than organs. Iris and teeth are not organs. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18264: Did not enjoy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #16254: Stumped by Trump. Great grid all around, but that group was the best for sure. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18266: I got a big fat 0 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18268: Easy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18275: Agree - apart from that super easy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Philip @ #18275: Football countries a bit too vague (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rachel @ #18112: naala is correct spelling (5 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #148: Rate 5/5 to bamboozle a het. (5 years, 8 months ago)

f @ #6833: (5 years, 8 months ago)

BathBoy @ #18269: 199 is CXCIX in roman numerals. 195 CXCV so neither of those are palindromes (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18224: What Fridge said! (5 years, 8 months ago)

mr vouge @ #10255: too hard STOOOOPPPP (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18269: Got 7/10. The 19 line was difficult. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jowens @ #18269: Easy peasy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jowens @ #18264: Satisfying board. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #17629: Words commonly associated with British politics....."cock-up" Harsh.........but fair!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

lindy @ #18246: Mammals is way too broad an answer. I failed 10/10 because I assumed there had to be a different answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Stark84 @ #18259: Thanks for your feedback. You're right. But I don't think I can now edit it! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Generic @ #18267: WHY, NIKKI, WHY! (5 years, 8 months ago)

MR bean 69 @ #18267: Why is this so fu##ing difficult (5 years, 8 months ago)

MR bean 69 @ #18265: It was extremely difficult and total bull (5 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Generic @ #18265: Too Hard (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jowens @ #18240: nice. (5 years, 8 months ago)

truecockney @ #18260: I got the links... couldn't get the groups so it is possible (5 years, 8 months ago)

angry bird @ #4235: three vowels my arse (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18266: This is a pretty nerdy grid, I suspect it won't be for everyone but every now and then I like to indulge my geeky instincts. Hope you enjoy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JennyB @ #18220: Nice grid once the various pennies dropped for me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18245: Thanks for the feedback. I think it depends which group you aim for first as to how easy it is. There's a big group there that itself could take up all your time. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JennyB @ #18244: Annoyed with myself as I couldn't believe all groups had the same theme! Sneaky. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JennyB @ #18245: Loved this one! I couldn't have named 4 carriages until I saw them in the grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18244: very easy as soon as I saw first group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TwixxedFlax @ #18261: I presume this is a joke. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18253: until i read comments thought I must have mis-typed double (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18259: One group needs to accept broader answers ... specifically tiger! (5 years, 8 months ago)

JasonW @ #18253: Annoying that "Double" not accepted when that's literally the answer, however good grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

JasonW @ #18260: No spoilers, but one of these lines is impossible.......i'll be very surprised if the link is guessed (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jeannie @ #18253: Good crossovers, but didn't accept double as answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusterNugs @ #18251: good grid! The Ben Affleck one was a toughie (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusterNugs @ #18241: in Arabic, "Bint" is just the regular word for "daughter". I didn't know about the derogatory meaning! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #1716: The tree group should allow 'wood' also. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ryan @ #15977: Or an oratory. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18239: I had a similar film group a few months back (with some of the same names) and people complained about vagueness. I think it is a good group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18240: It wasn't a favourite of mine (5 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #18257: not bad, but needs more crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Fridge @ #18253: Very very good :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18241: Nice grid BD - Used to love blackcurrant Cornish mivvis - great youth memories from the 60's. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18258: If you mean the song it is Octopus's - and it is Juventus (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18253: Really good crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18253: Clever! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Christopher @ #2807: Carbon is not a gas, it's a solid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

srb445 @ #18253: Enjoyed this (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18244: We are not all as smart as Dobby - I found it hard. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #18241: Nice set. The derogatory group could accept "insults" as the connection. (5 years, 8 months ago)

imaterrier @ #2063: good fun but misleading (5 years, 8 months ago)

Christopher @ #2499: Ownership/syndicate/consortium are not synonyms for Monopoly (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18240: ...or ‘composite words’ (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18245: I found this one quite easy - I don’t often get 10! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18250: Very good. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #2369: Pathetic (5 years, 8 months ago)

Christopher @ #2369: Abominable - truly an abomination (5 years, 8 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #2297: Got the first three very quickly, but struggled with the fourth, until it just came to me. Quite challenging I thought, with some good red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

R.M.Healey @ #2748: Yes, I just nailed it very quickly. I don't quite know why, but the accompanying words seemed obvious to me. Very pleased at my maximum score (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18246: Enjoyable while it lasted - 18 seconds. However, I found it to be very easy. I also think you should accept animals for the group with animals in. There's no denying that they are all animals. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18241: Names I left out included Pigsy, Heffer, Murrey Kersey, Rib of Man, Meowle, Pussy, Bit of Muslin, Scupper, Tarleather, Uptails And Hay-Bag. Also Mivvy which was going to be the basis of an ice-lolly group until I realised that was a Mivvi. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Coochies @ #10494: Fluked the "-ted" category! (5 years, 8 months ago)

quizy rasca @ #18252: Apologies for the double Victor, wasn't meant to be, just looked at an older version of my notes before uploading. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #18243: Very good apart from the one handed typing thing...made no sense at all (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18243: A really nice grid that beat me. The mail group is a very good one. As a one-finger typist I was never going to get the type group. Thank you. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Beth @ #4792: A good grid Where do we find the answers?! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18241: Another good grid. Strange, minikin sounds a complimentary word, like what you might call a small relative. LOL (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18244: Easy grid but very enjoyable. Good job! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18241: Cheers, Aetees (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18239: Too tough for me, good grid though. I especially liked the film line. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18241: Easier than intended or not I enjoyed it a great deal, excellent grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

shep @ #18065: It should be Cleese (Basil) Sachs (Manuel) Scales (Sybil) Booth (Sherman) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Fridge @ #18224: Simple, easy but fun grid. I could solve because I knew what you were getting at, but a couple of things that need to be correct in a game like this for groups to make sense: 1. The Nomadic is NOT the sister ship of the other three. There were only three Olympic class ships . 2. The Mediterranean is NOT an ocean. It's a sea. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18241: Aye, you're much closer than I guessed Grug. I was way out. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18241: Feck. Feck. Feck. This is where we need an edit facility. I've made this easier than I intended by a last minute substitution. It's a red herring light of what it was before I messed with it. It makes the easiest group really easy and once you've got that it wipes out 3 more herrings in one go. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #18241: I'd say Bimbo was around 1930s or thereabouts? Good grid by the way. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Howie @ #18239: great stuff (5 years, 8 months ago)

Calpol Cal @ #18240: ==Spoiler Alert== I made a tad error. The answers are missing for two of the categories Microsoft, Brexit, Mii, Eurasia = Portmanteaus Jar, Jpeg, Zip and Bat = File Extensions (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #17563: marked me as incorrect for 'musicians' (5 years, 8 months ago)

srb445 @ #18232: Thanks for the comment - fair point regarding the islands. My last few were received as harder than intended so thought I'd try to make an easier one (5 years, 8 months ago)

lindy @ #18226: I didn't guess boy's names either..too broad. (5 years, 8 months ago)

lindy @ #18232: I gave Atlantic Islands as answer for the Ascension, Falklands group. I still think I'm correct. Fairly easy grid but fun. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18227: Partly easy with one (imo) very obscure group. Didn't accept 'collective nouns'. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18203: Thoroughly enjoyed this one! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18220: I assume inspired by my grid, 17974? Not really any cross-overs though which made it pretty easy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18222: Enjoyable (5 years, 8 months ago)

Booo @ #17389: Very irritating not to be awarded points at the end because the author hasn't done their job properly. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #18222: Some red herrings that seriously threw me there. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18209: Very good grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ben L @ #18170: Sorry - don’t know how to get back in to fix it. Any ideas? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18220: Really enjoyed this one - great grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18202: nice and easy - but good - unlike some of the plain ridiculous ones out there (maybe mine...!) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18209: Excellent - (although just got lucky on Deep group) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #18212: Fiendish (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tommy Robinson @ #18207: Julie Dotters is Hazel Barlow who looks like Theresa May (5 years, 8 months ago)

Khabib Nurmagomedov @ #18206: Along with that Irish fool, I too believe that this is the single greatest puzzgrid that has ever existed (5 years, 8 months ago)

Phiilp Of Nottingham @ #18205: Hahaha! This was great! Loads of fun can you make more please? xx (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18099: There's a category to work on. Indolent, thick as mince politicians - I'll give you Fox, Davis and Corbyn to start you off. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18203: Liked it. 10/10 and only used half the time but it was challenging enough to have taxed the old grey matter! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18099: We're not paying you to work part-time. You're not David Davis ffs. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18202: I though was a very good grid, not sure how I managed 10/10 in less than a minute, probably doing too many of these..... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18203: Good grid as always - I'm pretty happy with 5/10 as I was guessing at which ones to include although knew 3 groups pretty quickly. (5 years, 8 months ago)

quizy @ #18099: I took a weekend off, i'll be back at it this week. And I could have used the same link description as the others in the group you are referring to Giggsy, but it's more satisfying for the quizzee to realise it's political satire than it would be for me to impose it on them. (5 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #18187: yes (5 years, 8 months ago)

Player A @ #18162: I think. ".....chair" is a correct answer for "chairs" (5 years, 8 months ago)

player a @ #18170: I wrote 'gruffalo"and it said incorrect (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18188: Well that was 3 minutes badly wasted - just wow! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16916: Which one doesn't rhyme - just wondering...? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzer @ #18192: Didn't get the points for writing "chairs" instead of "types of chair" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16938: Great grid - agreed it should say instruments with strings rather than stringed instruments. But I'm sure we all got it anyway ;-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

srb445 @ #16928: Very nice! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #16791: Look for words within words cazza (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16791: am I mad? facial features??????????????? don't get it!!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16916: no the rhyming words simply do not rhyme (not where I come from), tho I got the grid quickly, taking a guess at the gridder's thoughts!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16928: little bit narrowly local, and poss dyslexic......?! but fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

cazza @ #16938: piano stretching it a bit eh (5 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #32: Is funky house a thing? Really? I liked the Honda lightbulb moment, nice. (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Barbarossa 2.0 tribe @ #18179: you're gross (5 years, 8 months ago)

Beth @ #18194: A good selection but I'd consider swapping 'been' out as its more an insect than an animal so doesn't fit as well with the other three. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18162: Agree about chair (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18117: Tart not accepted when answer is tarts?????? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #18177: Brilliant grid, thank you thank you true cockney (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18183: Scored 10/10 but got a bit lucky. Been seeing the Knuckles connection a lot in the last few months. (5 years, 8 months ago)

bread boy @ #1396: This made me cry! in a good way haha :D (5 years, 8 months ago)

bread boy @ #583: good :DDD (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18193: A very tough grid, particularly for a non US resident. "Border either Canada or Mexico" is too random. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18180: 👍 Sneaky false group in there! Good stuff (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18193: The trouble with having the same type of thing in every box is that the chances of there being a unique solution are reduced. In this case, would be mathematically astounding if there didn't exist more than one answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sandwiches @ #18177: Thanks for taking the time to make this. Lots of fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

N @ #18188: I don't understand... :( (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18188: I worry for your sanity more than Dobby's. Nurse..... I say, nurse.... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Laurie @ #18177: Took thought but I'm pleased to have completed it! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Laurie @ #18183: The houses and Christmas were easyish, the other two hard! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18188: I really should stop doing your grids for the sake of my sanity... but I live in the hope there will one day be one that actually makes sense! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18168: Tough (hard bordering on fiendish this side of the pond) but fair. I cant really complain as I've used famous baseball players myself... Also, Is there any more horrifying two word phrase than "reality TV"? Ok, maybe "autonomous warfare", but there aren't grids about it yet. (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #18188: Sorry, i don't understand the connections, (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18188: The answers are confusing and don't explain the groups effectively. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18178: Also Madagascar not spelled that way. The quay group was clever but I felt the geography bits of this were too obviously distinct (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusterNugs @ #18168: Thank you BinDipper! This was our first-ever attempt at a grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

PuzzleLion @ #18112: I always thought it was "Nala," not "Narla," and that it was spelled "Mufasa," not "Muphasa." Do you know something I don't? (5 years, 8 months ago)

No @ #18162: Wouldn't accept chair. (5 years, 8 months ago)

QUIZZER @ #18030: Bishop, pastor etc are surely all types of clergy so that should be marked correct. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18173: Another very nice grid Giggsy. Only observation is that Transister is normally spelt transistor, although I acknowledge there is a band called Transister. You could have used either 'smother' or 'carbuncle' as alternatives. I have been inspired to use one of your clue sets with different answers in grid 18175. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18178: Nice grid. Only small issue is that not all goalkeepers wear '1' as players are allocated squad numbers these days. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18177: Another fine grid you've got me into. Good one, enjoyed. (5 years, 8 months ago)

duckchaos @ #18148: I'm a big fan of your grids but this one was not quite up to your usual high standard. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18175: This grid is partly inspired by a very recent grid by Giggsy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #18171: Brothers of pop stars was a very tough group (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18168: I suspect this is a very good grid. But it’s definitely one that can’t make the journey across the Atlantic. I got hung up on looking for 3 other treasonous, orange paedophiles. Thanks Buster. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18126: The wall “rules” as set by the site are that each clue should begin with a capital letter. It sometimes causes problems but I think it’s a good rule as it keeps entries consistent. I think you’re correct about the font though: Al and AI look identical despite being made differently. Not sure there is an etiquette except, “No matter how good the grid is, it shall never leave Page 1 scoring 5 stars.” (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18165: clever (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bledsoe @ #18145: "Completely unrelated words" should be an accepted answer for the Mother 3 group. No one who counts has a clue what Mother 3 is without looking it up. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18148: OK - not one of your best, and I'm a fan as you know. Thought Improve Power and Plug In are essentially the same thing - you do one to achieve the other - nit pick, nit pick - get a life Giggsy!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18150: See off cheat was fun but naughty. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18172: Good grid. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18127: Jester follows while the others precede - 'associated with' is vague imho (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18142: I did not enjoy this (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bozzy24 @ #6833: Add "relatives" into the answer for the hidden family members so that comes up as correct too. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusterNugs @ #18064: VERY difficult! Nice job. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusterNugs @ #18064: VERY difficult! Nice job. (5 years, 8 months ago)

srb445 @ #18165: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

srb445 @ #18126: This is my first grid - on reflection it would have been better to use lower case for many of the clues. Particularly given the font. Is it community etiquette to re-publish a grid? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Cowey @ #18117: It's the Royle family not the Royal family that would be Prince Philip and the Queen. And it's Ralf Little not Raif (5 years, 8 months ago)

dee @ #6672: vowels were good! Only spotted the link when the grid was complete :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lucy b @ #18162: Thanks. I got 6/10 but the groups were fairly easy to spot, again not sure if there were crossovers. Perhaps I've just missed them! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lucy b @ #18161: Didn't see any crossovers on this but then I managed to accidentally get the last two categories correct but couldn't establish the link. Also I guessed comedies for one group and it states incorrect. Spelling issue I think. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FJhojo @ #18167: Really good (5 years, 8 months ago)

MrsHJ @ #18148: Should be Battle not Batte (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #17972: should take 'st' for saints (5 years, 8 months ago)

Verr @ #6: Aged horribly...encite used to be a word too (5 years, 8 months ago)

dee @ #566: That was seriously fun! Nearly got them all, but not the last group! Argh! Best grid I've played so far :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #18150: Hmm, a parallelogram (sp) isn't a kite, unless both are a rhombus. A blackbird isn't a crow, unless it's a black bird. Some of the other connections are a little tenuous. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18152: Me too. Not the only one in this mould lately either. I take it groups can just be random unrelated bollocks now then can they? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18152: I'm losing the will to live... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Doodle Dan @ #16837: Really enjoyed it. Was quite easy but great subjects (5 years, 8 months ago)

Vicky @ #18144: The group '____ man' should accept 'men' for the connection. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18144: Arguably there's such a thing as a leadman (it's obscure but definitely exists) so no unique solution. Even without this it was pretty straightforward (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #18149: Once again, my strategy of not bothering to guess the links pays off... Grid itself didn't last but no quibbles about it's construction (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #18149: Yes, a shame as it's a nice grid otherwise. I did at least get a "correct" for "streets". (5 years, 8 months ago)

neilb4god @ #18149: Didn't register a single correct link when typed. Did you forget to put them in? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Eliot @ #18106: Silly but fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

Eliot @ #18113: Terrible and loads of mistakes. Adding y is wrong and the characters are from two different films (5 years, 8 months ago)

Disney fan @ #18112: A fun wall, but you misspelled both Nala and Mufasa. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #18142: Why not both, Weetum?? On a more serious note, that connection did take me rather by surprise (although we did suggest the inclusion of anal, more out of fun rather than seriousness). I am more concerned about the use of the word homonym in place of homophone. Weight and wait sound alike, but aren't spelt the same, making them homophones, not homonyms. Otherwise, a fun grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #18142: Anal play ? Seriously ? Why not 'fore' ? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18141: White,Green,Orange should read White, Green, Orange and Blue but it doesn't seem to fit on the square - sorry! (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #18125: I liked generally, but 'celebrities' really have to be inextricably synonymous with, or have a cross-cultural significance well beyond their professional sphere and three will be obscurities to most I would imagine. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18118: Nice one. I'm familiar with Parks and segregation, but not its close relative in your link. So 7/10 for me (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bored @ #18137: Ludicrous and you know it, you pretentious smart alec. Propaganda, Neo Classical, Contemporary, Dynamism - Napoleon Crossing the Alps of course! What else could it possibly be? An utter waste of time. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aaaaaahhh @ #18112: 'They all invaded Britain' was marked incorrect. Odd! Very easy. Solved in under 30 seconds. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jerk alert @ #8000: Took a stab at the Welsh words - 10/10, ha ha ha! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18099: It's a fine grid where all 16 clues can be put under one heading. It's come to my attention that you're slowing down on the wall production, Quizy. Have you rediscovered sex? (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18121: Yep, for, not four; a shame because you didn't need that clue at all really. Also, you might have fallen into a trap I fall into sometimes. I think you've pluralised some of the key words and not allowed the singular. eg. If you had a group of 'pies' and someone put 'pie' they'd be marked as incorrect. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18091: I swapped Dug out at the last minute to prevent 2 solutions. Just forgot to change the explanation (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18127: Good fun, thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #18092: Really great, the Heart group in particular. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

a @ #18117: It's Julia not Nadia for the Ab Fab group (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18091: Good groups, good grid. I more or less managed to work it out without guessing. Spotted Peat (Dug, I assume) too - no biggie. Still works (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18098: It was fun - needs luck getting going but it's all fair - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18096: Spa group crafty (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18093: Nice groups - especially liked Dog group - and as a fan the Poor Me group - And RIP CH. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18094: Nice groups again (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18100: Agree with them - but also enjoyed the good groups and crossovers - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18099: Funny that you left the word criminal out where it is arguably the most apt. (; (5 years, 8 months ago)

lindy @ #18112: I like scoring 10/10 so "Thanks" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18120: Not sure the 'real' Magallen belongs in a fictional group. Rape also is not credible as it is not the same as the others unless added to the word 'seed'. The other three do not need a middle word. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18121: It's Forty - not fourty (5 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #18120: pugwall? sure you don't mean pugwash? ok grid, bit easy (5 years, 8 months ago)

Fridge @ #18109: Um.... We are not allowed to be mean when grids are just bad.. but... Yeah. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18068: Synonyms wasn't accepted or body parts. Don't think Christmas speech is a common term. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #17201: Should buld be bulb? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18036: "Eastenders families" not accepted nor was "all can be spun"??????? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18102: Nice grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18107: 🤦‍♂️ (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18096: Nice grid. Good to get the "Spa" group and enjoyed the red herrings (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18103: Interesting and unique idea - nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #18109: needs a bit of work (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18106: fun - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18107: Oh dear (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18113: Please spend some more time on your grids Nanny. I'm afraid to say the two I have done today haven't worked. Too many tenuous connections and you can't just add a "y" to the connection to make it fit the answer when it's not been given on one of the squares, that's just not fair. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18109: I'm stumped. I still don't know what most of the connections are despite having revealed them... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18108: Nice - but not sure about 5* (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18109: Sorry - not trying based on previous grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18110: This makes no sense at all. The waffles and Dance groups don't seem to even be coherent groups at all. Dance doesn't even attempt a description of one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18112: Easy and fun - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Altius @ #10899: Brilliant grid, thank you! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Altius @ #5633: excellent! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Altius @ #566: Genius! Excellent grid thank you (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dobby @ #18100: Oh, if only for a little more Victoria in our lives! You are quite right though. I did intend on putting "colour" as an acceptable answer but completely forgot when it came to it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18088: Haha. Oh well. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18078: Great grid. Enjoyed (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18102: Sorry if this is familiar, just correcting an old grid which I took on feedback to improve. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18092: As always, very good although I only managed 5/10. It gets my seal of approval (even if that was what let me down!) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18100: I think you have to accept colours as an answer - there is no denying it, they are all colours. On the show, Victoria would always say something like, "can you be more specific" and then they could have another go. I think if someone gave me the choice I would have got it. Other than that, great grid :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Michael @ #18039: Fun grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Matt @ #18005: It's X-men not XMen and I agree with others that it should accept "weights". Otherwise an enjoyable game thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18098: I realise I could have been more helpful with the answers on one set of connections. Sorry for that, I'll just say, Norway, Somalia/Somaliland, Panama and Tonga. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #18046: About thirty puzzles in and that is the toughest one yet! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18088: Ah, OK. I understand the false group gig, but iron _____ didn't enter my head at all. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #18088: BinDipper - the experiement is a fairly common practice of creating a false group - in this case the very overused iron prefix used as a diversionary tactic. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18091: Comment bollocks - prefer constructive - try English. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #18086: Not easy,or indeed pleasant, for a Chelsea fan........but good grid none the less (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lyndon @ #18091: Links too tenuous - prefer to work out - not total guess (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18088: Solved it. 10/10. But I have no clue what the experiment is - which makes me feel a bit thicker than I did before I started it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18091: Oh yes. Typo. Shhhh. (5 years, 8 months ago)

quizy rasca @ #18091: Nice one, although Doug makes an appearance in one of the links. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CroballyCat @ #18084: Sneaky enough, but allowing a chance (5 years, 8 months ago)

MAXITAXI @ #17994: Coolio (5 years, 8 months ago)

All powerful Shaggy @ #17995: I haven't done quiz. but it good. I believe (5 years, 8 months ago)

CurryBoiiiiiii @ #17992: Very nice quiz. I like (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lucas @ #17995: Best puzzgrid ever!!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

quizy rasca @ #18067: ota has multiple uses as an acronym, the*a*d group type is perhaps not one that occurs a lot but maybe we overthink things to much and miss what's right under our noses. Thanks for the feedback (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #18089: I found that really tough but the explanations were good which helps me learn new things!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18088: This one's a bit of an experiment. I'm trying to take one of the most commonly (over?)used connections, and use it as an overlap to tie the grid together. I imagine it's just going to really annoy people and cause them to waste time. *Evil laugh*. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BaconLard @ #18079: Have to disagree with Giggsy here. Really good grid. All are clearly related to the answers and it's great to have to think out of the box sometimes. Well done! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17981: That's an amazing spot, kittymcg. Never would have seen that myself. Had to look up what a 'ria' is admittedly though. Award yourself a moral point. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Adam Zapple @ #18081: Tough and challenging; good gridding. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Gary Baldie @ #18080: Fairly easy, but good fun. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #812: They left the eagle behind? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18076: Same as before with the Booth amendment (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18067: Hard group just silly - Ota not a word in its own right. Maybe try quality over quantity (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #18068: Cartilage is not muscular tissue! , It lines the inside of jointsLigaments hold joints together, tendons attach muscles to bone (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18074: Not a fan of single word answers that can go before or after - should be one or the other (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18079: Sorry but these groups are not consistent - John group being prime example. You can't mix and match - please do a few of other people's to see how it works - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18083: yes - good one - only tiny crit same as BD (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jimboots @ #18065: Mixing characters and actors is cruel. If it was Booth rather than Sherman I'd have got it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

RedKite @ #2769: Pretty poor all round (5 years, 8 months ago)

RedKite @ #2787: Danger group poor - inconsistent meanings (5 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #5494: Pathetic, wouldn't accept correct answers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

RedKite @ #2819: 'Accumulation' and 'atch' groups poor (5 years, 8 months ago)

RedKite @ #2832: Muskateers !? Yuk (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18083: Thank you. Enjoyed the grid. Only criticism would be in the Kentucky group, with 3 going before the word and one after. I think it’s a better connection if they all follow or all precede. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bathboy @ #18070: You can add P also to make a different set of valid words. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18068: Surely a script is written, not as such a form of speech? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18083: Nice - good crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18039: Good grid - nice red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18073: Clever red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #18083: Nice to do. Thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18076: Agreed, nice grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18078: Not difficult, but a pleasant grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18080: Didn’t find it easy! But interesting again. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #18081: Pretty tricky, but interesting! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #395: Should be 'grille' not 'grill' I think. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #18062: Not bad. Ace,s real name is Dorothy Gale or Dorothy McShane according to Wikipedia. (5 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #145: Most reused from grid 144. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #17728: Nice grid but quite easy (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #17737: Enjoyed this one and enjoyed the hidden continents (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #18076: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #18078: Not sure what keywords you've put for the 'grand' group, but it wouldn't accept an answer very similar to the one you give. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #17742: No idea what a chamelia is, try cammelia. Also Lilly is usually spelt Lily (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #17758: Fairly straightforward and accepted bones for me Matty (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #17761: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Colin @ #18030: absolutely brilliant (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #18073: Good grid.......with some good "red herrings" (5 years, 8 months ago)

TonyH @ #18068: Nice One (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #17991: Exactly. Plus, I didn't say which is right and wrong, I merely stated the fact that I believe the connection is more difficult to spot the way it is written (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18023: Yep that's it BB. Fork and Knife. I realised after getting the puzzle ready and meant to swap fork for something else as I put it on the site. Then completely forgot. To be honest I'd never heard anyone describe the fork like that, but apparently it's a thing. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JimBoots @ #18068: Top Notch (5 years, 8 months ago)

Tom @ #18072: I put one name pop stars for the singers one and got it wrong, can wordings be added? (5 years, 8 months ago)

yes @ #18027: thank u (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #573: Clever, liked the theme to it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDJC @ #18063: It's good though the B- category didn't accept my valid connection. Surely "B" should suffice? (5 years, 8 months ago)

;-( @ #18065: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18061: Nice grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

RL @ #18011: DH, its 'Party Food', 'Fish Food', etc (5 years, 8 months ago)

Michael @ #17903: fun grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Michael @ #18030: Nice! But "all consonants" should be an acceptable answer for "no vowels" (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #18057: Too tricky for me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #18059: Great grid, really enjoyed (5 years, 8 months ago)

steve w @ #18057: yeah I got it - nice and tricky! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzy Rascal @ #18049: This is my new hobby. Big fan of OC. Apologies for any typos made on any of the quizzes I've done so far, or any I may make in the future. (5 years, 8 months ago)

vgates @ #15242: "black" and "cool" can be switched and the categories still work... (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusyBee @ #18023: Is that fork and knife being interchangeable? Or is there another I missed? (5 years, 8 months ago)

BusyBee @ #18025: Some other solutions that work..... Swap TI and AS or BE Swap SN and AL A well deserved 1 star (only since they don't allow for 0) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #17535: Very clever - like it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #17608: Very easy. Also you need to put the 't' in 'Frightful' and sort out the capitalisation, which marks out the different groups if it wasn't obvious enough already! (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #18028: I like it (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #17905: Very easy. But like Emski, I also put writing implements, which was rejected! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #17999: Too hard for me! Zero points! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Spookypooky @ #1896: No red herrings (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #18005: I agree with the comments below about weights but I missed the send connection and I am not familiar with the X men so resolved the grid but scored badly on the connections. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #18030: Very easy, not very much crossover between groups (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rob @ #18031: Not a great wall if you don't like Queen! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18029: They are all Bond films - solved (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18035: Baker Street Junction. Lived all my life in London and never heard it described as that. Same with Fen. Doesn't even google. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rastrick @ #4582: Pretty easy really (5 years, 8 months ago)

Rastrick @ #98: quite easy really (5 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17981: The air group are also all words written backwards (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #18042: Nice links. Thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Pip @ #17541: Chill man (5 years, 8 months ago)

JS @ #18042: A couple of spelling issues here - one of which means the correct solution to one group comes up as incorrect (should be 'Gimme', not 'Gimmie'). Also, 'bin' is a bit tenuous in that group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #16470: Total fake on the phoenetic alphabet, awesome (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #18039: Good grid. Enjoyed the red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

balls @ #18036: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17978: Hi Giggsy - thank you and yes, you're right. Originally the Bates group was actually of a slightly different type (although with the same keyword as the solution) and I changed it at the last minute for reasons I won't bore you with, but yes, in retrospect I agree the group is slightly less neat now! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18049: Jeebers Quizzy. Do you need a new hobby or something? Like a machine gun. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Turing @ #18047: Liked it; thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18034: Solved the wall but beaten by the Clyro group. Wouldn't have got it if you'd given me 3 weeks. Point of order: We were in the UEFA Champions League Final. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18029: Tricky to say the least, 1/10 for me and that was a guess at the end. That said if you fall bang in the middle of a Venn diagram between fans of James Bond and Only connect it's hard to see how it could be improved. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17135: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17162: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17162: (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17162: I was noted incorrect in 2 rows where I'd used a different word, ie poorly done for mess, and gullible for taken advantage of (5 years, 8 months ago)

3Ferrets @ #18039: Very Good - nice crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bells @ #18036: Easy peasy! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17197: Good fun, thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18036: Enjoyable, straightforward grid. I only spotted one crossover. Now that might be me being thick, but if there are more I’d suggest putting an ‘obvious’ one in the alternative group to make it more challenging. Many thanks D. :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17234: Hidden body parts. Lovely! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17235: Poets! Lovely! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17991: A subject of intense debate in the apostrophe world, FirstG. I had this issue in a grid I made. When referring to letters, (plural of), the accepted form for lowercase is to use an apostrophe eg. t’s. Uppercase ones are more controversial - it depends on what source you use for reference. It’s made worse here because in this puzzle it comes from the expression ‘dot the i’s and cross the t’s’ - referring specifically to lowercase letters. But the format for the grid says the first word must be a capital. Soooo... pick the bones out of that :-)) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18032: Nice variety and some nice links. Couldn't resolve the Green and Black groups on my way to 5/10. Was convinced Harry Potter characters was in there somewhere. Cheers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #48: Fab! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18033: Nice grid, scored 7/10 after not identifying the Lady line. Enjoyed the variety. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #18034: Not great I'm afraid and didn't accept footballers which definitely should be allowed - does it matter which team they played for when all the other groups are completely different! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #18034: Difficult, never heard of quite a few of the clues. Scored 4/10 (moral 5 if we didn't have to be more specific with the Blue line). Cheers tho. (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #184: Hooray got 10 /10 :) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Freedmano @ #18005: Fun little grid. But not accepting weight or "X Men" (only "xmen") is downright annoying! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #18010: Nice, simple, satisfying grid. Well done. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew @ #18030: Exactly the same as FirstGofer - great quiz but more leeway with categories (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18027: why bother? (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #18030: good construction... requires more leeway with answers, e.g. clergy, felines (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dh @ #18011: Apart from food party ( which in itself is not very common) i can't fathom the others (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #17988: Loved it (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #17991: Why would Ts have an apostrophe? It is neither a possessive nor a contraction. (5 years, 8 months ago)

LemonFanta @ #18020: I disagree with the final group! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bells @ #18003: I didn't get the beer! (5 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #17997: Didn't get this grid at all I'm afraid, even looking at the explanation (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17271: Not too hard for a medium, I got this quickly. Enjoyed it! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Corridor @ #18020: Absolutely banging quiz. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #18016: I didn't do well on this grid but now seeing the answers I'm annoyed with my self! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18023: Bit annoyed. Set off to do an easy one. It still works, but I used the wrong clue in a section. Technically it means there are two solutions, but one of them is one you rarely hear so the game is playable. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Adamn @ #17388: thats good but thats hard... Farmer cheese? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Adamn @ #17971: its a no from me (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18017: Fiendish in fact. I didn’t start out with that intention, Guv. It just ‘appened (5 years, 8 months ago)

MeToo @ #18015: why you makin me think of Roman Polanski and Mel Gibson that's mean (5 years, 8 months ago)

you @ #9646: Please don't have anymore of Posh and Beck's children (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17981: Ahh, unintentional red herring group of three there. I mean, I can pretend I did it on purpose. (5 years, 8 months ago)

stuart robertson @ #8199: nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17980: Church ranks wasn't accepted. (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #17981: Very nice. Went down dead end looking for ---head; pothead, airhead, jarhead (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17954: Two of these groups are synonyms but that wasn't an acceptable answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #15888: the meat one is a problem. to me, ham seems like the only legitimate meat. the others are creatures. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18003: Neat - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18005: Agree - weight is correct. I try to put every word I think people might use. Not always successfully (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18017: I found that quite hard. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #18018: Found it tough, but fair (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #17963: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Turing @ #17952: Good one. Thanks for posting. (5 years, 8 months ago)

DH @ #17962: Brilliant (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18005: I know mass is correct and weight isn’t but, in everyday speech, not including weight here is a bit harsh. Not into comic characters really but Marvel didn’t score a point. I thought the characters are from that source. Shame because otherwise it’s an enjoyable grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #18005: Weights should be acceptable. (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDJC @ #18005: The accepted answers needs addressing in at least two categories (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDJC @ #18001: One highly obscure category. The others are good. A challenge! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #18003: Thanks Delia. Not too difficult; nicely done. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17967: I liked the grid, but crew is a little vague for the suggested category. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17972: Interesting (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17973: Neat! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17980: Maybe a more concise answer for the church group should be allowed. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17988: A pleasing grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

rookie @ #533: Premier, not Premiere (5 years, 8 months ago)

Wee @ #18005: Lovely stuff (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kimbo @ #18003: Enjoyed this one, Thank you! (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #16092: the homophones! great. (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #16104: great. i liked the gram/pound/dollar crossover business..and buffalo was delightful. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17982: 2 hidden words as links is just mean! Although those were the ones I knew, struggling with the knowledge for the other 2 groups. (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #16108: very nice grid, just hadnt a clue on JJ music.. (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #16111: types of quark?? new to me... (5 years, 8 months ago)

EDC @ #16162: yeah me too. Not accepting 'Manhattan' is more than a bit mean. I'm from here so getting it 'wrong' is a kick in the butt.. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17877: The characters are all puppets (not accepted) goddesses wasn't accepted (5 years, 8 months ago)

abicks @ #17380: u bastardan (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #17998: He was the 'Thin White Duke' but i got the idea. Nice grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17991: Enjoyed this, thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17988: Very nice (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17986: That was an absolute Glen Hoddle me old China. Enjoyed it though (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #2184: @alex Brain was the cartoon dog in inspector gadget. My fastest ever grid 23s. (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #17991: The fact that the clue is written Ts rather than T's made that connection more difficult (5 years, 8 months ago)

defo not bob @ #17993: amazing work!!!!!! i'm ur biggest fan (5 years, 8 months ago)

Henry @ #13271: amazing game ! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Misha tigerz @ #13271: very coolbeanz (5 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #13271: nice one mate (5 years, 8 months ago)

Brian @ #13271: Very nice in my personal opinion (5 years, 8 months ago)

JJ @ #17974: Excellent. Really interesting idea, and the requisite ambiguity (roman numeral, SI unit etc.) (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #17969: Very enjoyable grid. Only problem is there is more than one correct solution. Because there is a novel called ''Yellow WOMAN" that could be swapped with "scarlet FEVER" or even scarlet RIVER, which was a western I believe. Still a nice grid though (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17986: I thought this was easier than most hard grids (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lyndon @ #17983: absolutely stupid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17970: Enjoyed this, did finish but satisfying to unravel (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17813: Chicago was too obscure for me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17983: I think this is the first grid I've ever seen with 16 names as the clues. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17982: "Struggled way" nice grammar Andy. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17982: I really liked that one. Struggled way to a 10/10, but on another day it could have easily been 5 or 6. Cheers mate. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Reynardine @ #17981: 7/10, and I'm happy with that. Can't believe I messed 'Golden' ¬¬ (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17888: Fun, interesting, liked it (5 years, 8 months ago)

Joel @ #17796: Nice grid son (5 years, 8 months ago)

Joel @ #17829: It was a great grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #17981: Very enjoyable grid. For some reason I could only think of 'Reciprocals' for the containers! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17977: I was given incorrect for "clerical offices" which I think is as good a descriptor as any (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17980: Kiterlite??? Stupid phone. "Like" . (5 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #17980: A good grid. Leaving myself the five presidents names at the end was not sensible as I guessed incorrectly. Annoying because there is kiterlite a 3 in 5 chance of being correct and I always seem to blow it. Cheers for the grid. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17980: I didn't find it so simple, still enjoyed. Like the variety (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17981: Very smart grid, happy to have got most of it! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17279: Interesting, clever, much enjoyed (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #17980: A nice simple grid to make me feel good about myself in the morning. Thanks!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17971: Two groups with similar category (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17977: Nice one - Couple of good nostalgia groups - not many crossovers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17978: Very good - thanks - only tiny nitpick is that Bates does not fit neatly with the other three for obvious reasons - Wisdom, Rockwell etc... are exactly the same (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17972: Nice - and not too tricky (5 years, 8 months ago)

Blue @ #16936: Good grid with some nice red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Espy @ #17976: Good grid! “Sarah” wasn’t accepted as an answer for the famous Sarahs group though... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jayne @ #2058: My chips aren't yellow. (5 years, 8 months ago)

mrrogers @ #15779: "planets" was not accepted as an answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17977: Really like this grid. Stared it for ages before I got anywhere, then suddenly figured out one of the groups and managed to finish it all in a sudden flurry just before the time ran out. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17977: Found this grid difficult (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #17956: Good grid! Solved but, likewise only figured out the plea connection after the time was up. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #17970: Good grid. But I would say that raccoons are generally mainly grey with some black and white so it doesn't fit so well into that category. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jono @ #12552: Very good wall. Enjoyed piecing each group together (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jono @ #3712: This was superb. Best one so far. Pulp fiction Red Herrings were great. As were the SI units. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #8596: Wouldn't accept pop groups, why? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17940: 21 seconds left and managed to get all the groups - I kept thinking of tinker, tailor soldier, spy though and didn't get that group but happy with 7/10. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17362: Wish I knew my Britney Spears! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17975: Bit vague/general in places. Especially Jo group. Also if that is the category description then Newcastle is called Newcastle United. (5 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #17970: not too difficult, nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #17972: very good (5 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #17973: nice one, no celebs or harry potter (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sue @ #17975: tricky! (5 years, 8 months ago)

TENOMT @ #17922: Thrilled, Happy, Elated, Overjoyed. Are these not happy too? And one L in elated. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17969: This was fun! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17955: Dart manufacturers? Over specialist for me! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17970: Fantastic grid, I always enjoy the ones I can get 10/10 but challenge me along the way so good stuff. (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #17821: Love the cheeky Fab Four theme! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Aetees @ #17969: Lovely grid. Not too complex but satisfying. (5 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #9913: spelling mistake in "Turn" sportswear firm. fix please (5 years, 8 months ago)

NR @ #17963: Really good, not too hard but excellent clues. (5 years, 8 months ago)

NR @ #17964: Men's names! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17961: Good grid - had no idea what Shrinky dinks were! Not sure a casserole has to be baked.... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17964: Good grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

jon McEnroe @ #12815: nob jockey (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17961: I though you lifted your eyes to heaven. Anyway, made sense to me. Weakest group for me was the casserole - probably because I didn't get it. :( Thanks BD. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17962: Fun as ever, but devious - you got me hooked on the wrong footwear and second hand sale connection. Also spent ages looking for pie and pasty connections like a numpty. Clever. (5 years, 8 months ago)

karen @ #17963: Loved this! Very novel. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CM @ #17958: Thumbs down I'm afraid. Two cheese groups and the cricket thing is just absolute bloody mindedness. (5 years, 8 months ago)

grided @ #17963: Sorry, thumbs down. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17961: It’s just the title of the two horror films, Jo. The horror classic ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ in 1977; then the remake a few years ago. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17954: Synonyms should be part of acceptable answers. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17961: I don’t think hills have eyes! You lift your eyes towards them. (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #16560: v enjoyable. knew 3 of the links but missed all of them. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Max @ #10172: As someone outside of the UK, it was impossible for me to make the Northern group, even though I thought of that previously (for lights and hemisphere) (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #16590: What is a sky box? Otherwise, good grid, thanks. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17528: I put cathedral cities and it was marked incorrect. Good grid though (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #17954: Didn’t accept middle score for first answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

Big balls gamer @ #17921: Very krunky little puzzle. Needed a couple of attempts to crack it. Even then I was lucky at the end. Didn’t have the mind for it bru. Like I said before, very krunky. Victoria had me quite confused, struggled with that one (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #17928: Song titles a bit too unguessable for my liking, but otherwise not bad (5 years, 8 months ago)

3Ferrets @ #17962: very enjoyable- knew where i was going with the groups but still failed to fully sort the wall (5 years, 8 months ago)

VanillaAl @ #17957: Very nice, cheers (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17958: Have you in fact got any grids here at all. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17958: Well I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to shoot you. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lettys Spraye @ #17533: The cluedo links are historically right, but some of these characters have been retired from the game. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #17958: Too many cross overs with the cheeses and 'counties' is an acceptable answer for the cricket teams group. (5 years, 8 months ago)

3Ferrets @ #17956: Good Grid- 10/10 if you allow 5 mins to get the Plea link! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17952: Good one. Could see what 4 groups were, but never read the 4th (5 years, 8 months ago)

sfasfdw @ #17954: It didn't accept 'ordinary' as the answer for the average group (5 years, 8 months ago)

lindy @ #17954: Fun grid. 10/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

carol @ #17516: complete rubbish sorry. especially as correct answers were marked wrong, my bugbear (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17959: Not a wall in the Only Connect tradition. Few red herrings, no misdirection, a bit of nostalgia and a test of memory. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17955: Thanks Psyduck. I played around with a group like your Target group last week and couldn’t do anything with it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17956: Nice bit of herring work. Solved the wall: I’d only just written about one of your links - the number of times these walls throw up a coincidence is amazing. I failed to spot the reason for the Tee group - which is normal for me and that type of connection. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17950: Thanks Giggsy. Stay up? I’ve just got up.. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17950: Very nice indeed - some excellent and unique groups. Thumb and Ruby, really good. Now I have to stay up and try and do a good one (some chance!) - thanks (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17950: Cheers Howie. I don’t know about special but it’s better than 3 and a half fckin stars. (5 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #17833: Annoyed not to be allowed "conspirators" for the Gunpowder Plotters or "fictional rodents" for the, er, fictional rodents. (I didn't put "mice" because Scabbers is not a mouse.) (5 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #17897: Fun, but I think rather too easy once you spot the theme. (5 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #17899: Nice, but grossly unreasonable not to allow "clergy" for the "positions in the Catholic Church" one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #17942: A bit unfair not to allow "princes" for the men-married-to-queens one, no? (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17948: Fair comments. I am not fishy though. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Psyduck @ #17952: As a man from Boston, I loved seeing a Lincolnshire group! Overall, well created quiz with clever red herrings. (5 years, 8 months ago)

hello @ #10899: Iron isn't the most common element (5 years, 8 months ago)

Lynsey @ #1152: Completed in less than one minute - great grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

ee @ #3608: Wrote fancy parties and that wasn't accepted sigh (5 years, 8 months ago)

Someone @ #17931: Pretty, err... niche. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Someone @ #17947: I thought the 'acid' group was pretty good. Just needs the bear glitch sorting. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs G @ #17683: Love the y-added line, very clever (I didn't get it) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Gms @ #17939: I mistakenly got the savage line because I thought they were wrestlers... Randy Savage and Andre the Giant. I assumed the other 2 were subsequent wrestlers since I stopped watching WWF in the early 90s (5 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #17923: Single-letter entries tend to be not much fun because there are just too many possible answers; makes it hard but not very entertaining. Liked the Bash Street Kids though (5 years, 8 months ago)

Howie @ #17950: this one is special.;. loved it (5 years, 8 months ago)

Jerk Alert @ #8769: Nice whan (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17949: Damnit Google search... apologies all. (5 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #17952: good, no celebs or harry potter, well done (5 years, 8 months ago)

Anna cotta @ #17492: Put materials and storybook characters but neither accepted. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17944: Very good. (5 years, 8 months ago)

chas @ #4772: days of the week was great (5 years, 8 months ago)

chas @ #17728: 28 seconds. Fun though (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #56: I had the links but the red herrings. Tough. Lost nearly a minute on fife, with your musket fife and drum... (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #5795: Like it. Missed fictional doctors (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #4359: Nice. 2 seconds to spare. Lots of red herrings (5 years, 8 months ago)

Nicetea @ #17728: Please accept 'receptacles' as an answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #13152: West... dark (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ragman @ #17951: Love the Blondie red herring...😁 (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #5743: Ha ha fell for the films trick (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #1152: Loved it serious amount of red herrings. But Frasier with an i. Damn (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #8793: 25s but great. Sake was good (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #17949: Oliver Stone 'wrote' Scarface, De Palma directed it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #15242: Only took 41 seconds but nice links (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #15242: 2:19 but fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

Chas @ #8815: Pole was brilliant very clever (5 years, 8 months ago)

Beth @ #685: Annoyed cos I got them all right but it didn’t accept homophones as an answer (5 years, 8 months ago)

H @ #17949: scarface??? incorrect answer. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17951: Thanks Ferrets. Very good. I got bogged down on a link that didn't exist in the end. Ran out of time with two lots remaining. (5 years, 8 months ago)

3Ferrets @ #17950: Good Grid. Beaten by the 'hive' link - (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17943: The Pegasus one didn't occur to me despite having been on it. Nice grid. 5 * from me (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #17949: Didn't dePalma direct scarface? (5 years, 8 months ago)

edwardo @ #17943: Very creative and challenging wall. Stumped me, but the answers all made sense. (5 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #140: Breadman? (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17941: Not for me this one. Multiple ways to solve with valid reasoning. At its simplest; this group are the 4 lowest numbers. This group are the 4 highest numbers. Split the others into even and odd. Voila! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17949: I bet for someone into film this is a really enjoyable wall. For someone who isn't, and has seen just 2 and a half of these movies, it's an exercise in random clicking. :-)) Thanks Mr T. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17949: (Spoiler Alert!) (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17936: Thanks Giggsy. Wiki does a good page on the general subject with links going off to more detailed pages and sites. 8 hours later - you're sectionable. (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17930: Aye. Couldn't believe my luck when I saw those. Grange also had an Ozzie in it, spelt with an ie and Toddy sounds like a GH character- so whammy, whammies. (5 years, 8 months ago)

edwardo @ #17948: I've got to admit I hate terms of venery. They're just nonsense people made up and I wish people would stop using them (see https://www.audubon.org/news/no-its-not-actually-murder-crows). Like Pernickety, I was sure there was a fish connection in there because I saw "shad" and "tench" Despite that objection the grid is pretty good. (5 years, 8 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #17944: Sorry but Windsor is not a city. (5 years, 8 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #17948: Collective nouns group can also be types of fish within clue word: pr IDE, convo CAT ion, s TENCH, SHAD ow, or was this just a red herring. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Blue @ #17267: Great grid, really good red herrings! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17936: OK BD - you did it! my brain is on fire trying to get my head around some of those Abilene and Cantor examples. Obscure isn't always bad because it makes you go and educate yourself and these grids are good for that as well as just for fun - so thanks for setting my brain alight (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17937: Tan group unique - like it. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17943: Forth group got me - nice one. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17939: I have no idea what the line was about with Desmond Tutu in it!!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17939: I have no idea what the line was about with Desmond Tutu in it!!! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17897: Great grid! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17938: Ditto bindipper (5 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17872: Disappointed that maths words didn't accept mathematical terms for numbers but otherwise quite straight forward. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17944: Good diverse groups - (but don't need reminding of a certain team's exploits ;) ) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Reynardine @ #17947: Well made! I agree on 'acid' line, but it still works well - and obviously 'Polar' is a really big herring I imagine you want to keep. My issue moreso is that it didn't accept "Bear" as an answer for the bears - I'm not sure if you're looking for something more specific there, but I think generic would work well enough ^^; (5 years, 8 months ago)

Reynardine @ #17941: I'm loathe to suffer puzzles which have multiple valid solutions - red herrings are par for the course, but usually by their nature the red herring group is impossible to take since the puzzle would be unsolvable. In this case, there was no particular reason that "multiples of three" wasn't an eligible group in my mind (3-6-12-15), with 2-8-10-14 forming a neat set of even numbers - then Prime and Square would remain as is. Put short: Blech. (5 years, 8 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17947: Pretty good, but the acid line link is really weak (5 years, 8 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17930: Tucker... Zammo... well that was two minutes spent randomly clicking on potentially misremembered Grange Hill characters. Nice misdirection. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Margo @ #281: Nice one (5 years, 8 months ago)

Margo @ #48: Good fun (5 years, 8 months ago)

Dh @ #17914: Too australian for me (5 years, 8 months ago)

Bgw @ #17943: Great wall (5 years, 8 months ago)

Hd @ #17938: Great! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17938: Enjoyed the grid. Solved the wall but didn't get the Knicks connection. I got the Grumpy group but I think you've forgotten to put what the actual link is in the explanation. Thank you. :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17938: Excellent (5 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #5327: Pretty pathetic really (5 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #17867: Sometimes I'm reminded how much less I understand cultural differences than I think I do. I was shocked to see these comments, because the joke subjects are completely transparent and obvious to me from an American perspective. (5 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #17863: Fantastic! (5 years, 8 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17936: Thanks Ross. Because of my background I come across them all the time. Never used them before because of the ‘Too obscure’ complaint. Originally had Bootstrap as one to give it away to Whovians but then all 4 turned out to be herrings so I held onto them. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ross @ #17936: Good wall - nice red herrings. Never heard of any of the paradox group, but that's just my ignorance. Well-designed puzzle: thanks! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Ross @ #17910: Great fun. I need to see red herrings to give 5*s, but really interesting wall - a bit different and fairly challenging. (5 years, 8 months ago)

3Ferrets @ #17938: Re - Homonyms..... Doh! I spotted that it should be 'homophones' and thought I'd changed it, must have only done it in the accepted answer section... (5 years, 8 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #17938: Excellent grid. Really enjoyed it. Five stars. Only quibble, which has nothing to do with game play, is the the connection for the god group is listed as homonyms, when I think that they are homophones. It gave it to me as correct anyway, just being a pedant. More like this please (5 years, 8 months ago)

securespark @ #12050: Hi Geolaw Pripyat is a village near Chernobyl which had a funfair. The funfair was getting ready for the children when the accident happened and the town was evacuated by the army. (5 years, 8 months ago)

Els @ #17940: Nice fun grid (5 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17932: No, try to be clever :-) (5 years, 8 months ago)

Misterkev @ #96: Loved the McCartney clue! But I'd argue that as bat and fly can fit in both Fruit and Wings and could therefore be interchangeable that this doesn't work. There should only be one way of arranging the clues to fit (5 years, 8 months ago)

TwixxedFlax @ #17941: Very clever! I was able to name every group but ended up with even numbers amongst triangular and was unable to separate them. Happy with 6/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

M @ #17874: Phew, got em all! (5 years, 8 months ago)

quizzer @ #17932: 0/10 (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #17937: tough one... slightly miffed one group didn't accept the author's name. (5 years, 8 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #17938: Got the groups quickly... the Happy group very clever - didn't get it though! (5 years, 8 months ago)

JP @ #17932: Two duplicates, and a bit too complicated. Nice attempt though! (5 years, 8 months ago)

Gunner @ #17922: Of course red and yellow are seas as well, so they're not true red herrings: Coral, Black Mediterranean and Adriatic need a more specific connection than just "seas" to be differentiated from Red and Yellow. (5 years, 8 months ago)

carol @ #17541: glad it is not just me that gets annoyed at the poor answer list! I have been banned from commenting because I have complained that creating the answers to the grids are as important as the grids themselves! Don't know how I am able to write this - but you can bet I wont be able to write any more! Tee Hee (5 years, 8 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17931: I didn't enjoy this but I think that's more me than the grid. Did't know lightning, cultural or believer groups. (5 years, 8 months ago)

CC @ #17913: A fun wall 👍 (5 years, 9 months ago)

CC @ #17919: A really fun wall 👍 (5 years, 9 months ago)

CC @ #17922: Easy but very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17873: Damn missed spotting the anagrams. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17868: Got the idea and the correct links but didn't resolve the grid in time. Very questionable answers for those multi lingual countries. (5 years, 9 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17859: I agree! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17932: OK - let me be the first to complain about my own grid. I thought there was only one 'double (U)' which both belonged in the same group anyway - but of course there are two repeats and the second repeats are from different groups. So, that is not acceptable and I apologise. I will try to be less clever in future. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17919: Good one - mostly beat me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17920: Thanks - Didn't know Parley - looked it up - still not sure what the reference is. Or Monarchy. Research needed at my end. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Weetum @ #6980: Obscure (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17921: Nice start - keep going (If it helps. I am not sure that Victoria is an adjective and that group is a little vague) Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17922: I thought the opposite - Elated is one L (5 years, 9 months ago)

NigelH @ #15138: An excellent grid. Just about perfect in terms of group selection, cross overs and red herrings. I shall look out for more of your grids Andy P. Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NigelH @ #8803: Very easy but jolly good fun nonetheless. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NigelH @ #8803: Very easy but jolly good fun nonetheless. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NigelH @ #16253: A very, very good grid indeed. Nice collection of cross overs and red herrings. Thanks for this one! (5 years, 9 months ago)

llama @ #7: Very good, however on March 14 2012, Chelmsford became the 51st city of England. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17925: I may have to take a few days off after that grid, thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kez @ #17923: Oops. I did not realise the S version was a word! If I could edit it, I would, but it’s such an unusual word (I doubt many people playing the game would have heard of it), that I don’t think it’s too bad. Obviously, I chose W as a red herring on purpose. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17903: Yeah good stuff (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17923: Hmmmm, quite hard. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17919: Very good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

fat @ #50: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17921: Very good puzzle - enjoyed. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

fat @ #33: (5 years, 9 months ago)

fat @ #14053: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #17922: Not too easy this one (5 years, 9 months ago)

The Cypriot @ #17923: Could swap S and W around and the connections would still work, so not a unique solution (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17919: Up to your usual standard. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17921: Pretty good, actually. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17873: Fun grid, some classic elements in there. Scored 10 so it was pretty easy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

busker @ #17906: what giggsy said... also, the A.J. group could also have the solution 'green' (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17897: Easy but fun. Good theme (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17899: Easy but fun, lots of classical elements that have been used multiple times over the months/years. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17907: Some nice elements to the grid, and I prefer this type of grid to all the "themed" ones that have been done recently. It's actually normal and in the style of Only Connect, i.e. not just 16 names or 16 types of the same thing. These were all single words, just like the show itself. So yes thanks :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Eddie @ #11619: Fairly straight forward, a lot of fun working out the answers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17909: Really good. I could see the connections but the cross overs made it hard. Well done! (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17910: Tough one... a couple of tenuous connections! (5 years, 9 months ago)

VanillaAl @ #17921: First wall, be gentle... (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17913: Liked it! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17919: Excellent grid, wish I had done better. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17915: Liked it. Only thing I would say however, is I chose 'best picture' as the Casablanca, American in Paris etc connection and it said incorrect. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lyndon @ #17916: very poor (5 years, 9 months ago)

. @ #6833: Maybe the first time I've ever spotted a "Words hidden inside other words" clue! Very satisfying wall (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17897: Enjoyed this. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17919: excellent (5 years, 9 months ago)

JP @ #17916: Two Chrissie's in the grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17913: Yeah... Earlier drafts avoided that. Should just have found another colour (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #17904: Thanks Giggsy- I never could count. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #17913: nice grid. Although technically you could swap 'The Green Mile' and the 'The Shawshank REDemption'. So there is not a unique solution. (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17914: Should be spelled "Turrella" - though happy to see the odd Australian grid in there, the description leaves a little to be desired, probably better to say they're all suburbs in south-western Sydney - knowing they're on the same line is probably more esoteric than some of the London Underground questions on the show proper. The Highland Earl category stumped me, have to investigate in more detail! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Rantos @ #17909: Only got one point but this was a great, magnificent grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17912: Yeah, the site should specifically disallow double-ups, and definitely triple-ups. Groups like these would work great as connections/sequences but they're not good in a wall. (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17910: I think it's mostly in the phrase "babe in the woods" - I got it but it was a bit tenuous. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BusyBee @ #17906: Jo, cinnamon challenge is basically eating a spoonful of cinnamon - do not recommend. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17913: Nice - not too taxing, thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

BusyBee @ #17912: Recognised all the groups (although not with as much detail as required) but still unable to solve as I had 3 lives left and no way to know which M1 went in which group. This is why you don't have the same answer in multiple groups (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17906: The cinammom challenge?? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17909: This grid was right up my street! Very good and excellent red herrings. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17910: Bit of a Curate's Egg, for me. Good clues/links in the main, but have never heard 'babe' used to describe a naïve person, and the Pig's bladder linked solution was too tenuous IMHO. Good effort, though. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17903: Good grid. Scored 7. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17901: Not great for me - did not have a lot of the knowledge required (shooty and sci-fi things etc...) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17895: Nice, (but I thought the spelling group was a bit tenuous) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17897: easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17888: bit easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17900: Not enjoyable for me because I don't have the knowledge required (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17904: good - (staff is 5 letters) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17906: Pedantically, although Cannes does dish out accolades on the final day it is essentially a festival and is not consistent with the description of the other three in the group (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17909: Good grid - nice groups and crossovers (5 years, 9 months ago)

ggb @ #17906: fff (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17910: Can't believe I didn't get the promote group - what a Carry On movie I am!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #17899: Fairly straightforward; the anagram one was nifty. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17895: Keep up the standard. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17896: Quality and love the Scots footie (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17897: Nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17908: What Don said. (5 years, 9 months ago)

random guy from mr salisbury class @ #4871: Good quiz, sir! it was good and hard (5 years, 9 months ago)

francesco @ #17888: (5 years, 9 months ago)

francesco @ #17905: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Don @ #17905: Agree with those below. Well put together, though very easy to solve. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Don @ #17908: Quagmire and Cleveland are from Family Guy rather than the Simpsons. Other than that, nicely put together. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Michael Richard @ #17907: I love this, you must be a gorgeous man. xo (5 years, 9 months ago)

Frankie @ #13572: Didnt complete sadly but great , well thoughtout grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17905: Very easy, but well constructed. I concur with Emski regarding solutions. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17888: Straightforward, but good fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17897: Very good gridding. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Steve 58 @ #17901: Great fun. Keep up the good work (5 years, 9 months ago)

Emski @ #17905: Easy to spot links. Not been open enough with word choices to identify for example I put writing implement. Incorrect because author put write with. I wrote cities they had city (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17903: Wonderful- well done! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Frankie @ #186: Full house. Enjoyable grid !! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Frankie @ #583: Full house. Very easy and enjoyable. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17892: Grayling and Rudd completely fooled me, good stuff. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17895: This was extremely hard! :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

M @ #17891: v enjoyable (5 years, 9 months ago)

M @ #17897: excellent (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17896: Strictly speaking, the way I’ve written what one of the links is isn’t true. But it’s kind of true and it won’t affect scores or real meaning - you’ll probably see what I mean. Sorry. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17892: Thanks. Glad you liked. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17895: Cheers Aetees. Appreciate that comment because when I’m solving walls they’re my favourite types - where you can see what the links are but it’s still tricky to group them. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17903: great stuff (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17895: Really liked this grid. I was hovering around all of the answers but only ended up getting a couple before running out of time. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JK @ #7062: Enjoyed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JK @ #186: Good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JK @ #3712: Loved it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Frankie H @ #17901: Solid grid, really enjoyable with some good red herrings. Thanks! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Frankie H @ #17900: Very cool grid, thanks! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Llama @ #2310: Not Good; All names of people (5 years, 9 months ago)

steve @ #17889: liked it :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Llama @ #149: my first 10 out of 10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Calpol Cal @ #17897: Thank you Jowens, most enjoyable quiz. I struggled but picked up the pattern in time for the link points. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17892: great stuff (5 years, 9 months ago)

Llama @ #15238: Nice easy one to get you started (5 years, 9 months ago)

glooey @ #17890: Cross got me there - nice one (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17892: C’mon Jav! You could hear the hoof beats pound As they raced across the ground And the clatter of the wheels As they spun round and round And he galloped into Market Street His badge upon his chest His name was Ernie And he drove the fastest milkcart in the west (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17868: Spent too long on world cup winners! (ignore our tourette suffering friend) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17874: Yeah, amusing person only tiny niggle - got the pure group this time having failed last time. Nice one - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17876: Oh dear... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17892: He did qualify Ben, Benny or Benjamin (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17879: Nicely done - liked the Acrimonies group (which beat me) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17889: Bevan group quite weak (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17827: Ah - of course. Funny, I never set out to have them all be the same 'kind' of thing, they sometimes just end up that way. I think I enjoy coming up with different categories to things that all seem to be from one single category. But not for everyone obviously. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #17866: Fiendish! Very satisfying to get (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangus @ #13561: This is way too niche, even after a few google searches I don't know where these connections come from. I know a pretty good amount about ASOIAF and the show and couldn't get these groups, the knowledge necessary is way too specific. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17832: Agree about it not accepting boot being poor as they are all a type of boot and as for expecting people to know the names of styles of trainers....... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17892: Nice one. Ben Hill? 😳 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17816: Repeat of #17776 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17813: Chicago line did for me. Good grid though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

tmd @ #17868: bellend (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17805: Agree with Giggsy about the dance line. Also put Coastal features for the sea inlets which should be equally acceptable. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #17324: As someone who learnt Morse many years ago, I can assure you that it is a form of communication, and is still used today. (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17868: Hmmm. Once you get the link it makes sense but... some tenuous answers I think. Canada, Belgium and Switzerland in particular... (5 years, 9 months ago)

NR @ #17883: The Frank Darabont question was a bit sly. Rest good though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #3712: Great to see Ben Folds Five included. (5 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #17885: The film logo link very tenuous indeed and the use of upper /lower case (deliberate?) was unnecessarily confusing (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17888: Over in seconds - thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17814: Great grid. Spotted what the groups were, but took me ages to actually sort them out. Good stuff. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17198: It's ages since I've seen the film so I won't argue but Looper.com don't agree. They specifically list the baby as one of film history's unseen characters. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17874: Me too (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dad @ #17866: Hardest I've ever seen. Only got one point (5 years, 9 months ago)

GK @ #17718: Giggsy is right. Link by two word phrases should be with either the same following word for all 4 clues, or the same preceding word; not both. My feeling is it kinda ruins the game... slips towards randomness. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17883: Green mile group pushed this to fiendish for me. Still a good grid I think, but I lacked the DVD knowledge (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tbone @ #17874: Not sure witty amusing person fits the category by the same logic as the other 3. It's a definition, where the others are a type. I got caught out by the pure group and I'm still kicking myself. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Gunner @ #17882: Won't take triangle for the category of triangles. Belongs in the bin. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #17862: Very nice grid, got there in the end (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tubbyson @ #17884: Rhyme doesn't work for 'rhyming words' and nocturnal doesn't work for 'animals seen at night'? Good wall but poor terms for connections will easily lead to undeservedly lost points. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tubbyson @ #17883: This was meant to be hard difficulty, whoops! Sorry for anyone going in expecting it to be simpler. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17877: Nicely constructed grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

OddOdds @ #17876: Darn—did not mean to select very easy. Difficulty should be labeled hard. But for a puzzle with a fairly sinister theme, I guess mislabeling the grid as easier than it is is on brand! (5 years, 9 months ago)

truecockney @ #17861: Damn you! Trying to find all the cockney rhyming slang stuffed in my brain and realised way too late that is wasn't all following that :) Good to see you enjoy it (my incessant building of numerous meanings is hard on the noggin) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17875: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17198: Rosemary’s baby is revealed, and indeed seen at the end of the film. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17873: Excellent (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kirstie @ #17863: I got 6 but should have got 10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17867: However, just seen your comment and as a first go at a wall, it isn't bad so keep going just make sure the groups are distinct enough and better to put as many words as you can think of when submitting the wall. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17867: Unfortunately I agree, not a great wall. The jokes group is too vague and you don't have to us sugar to make a basic bread. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Oscar P @ #17833: The history groups tripped me up a bit but otherwise a really enjoyable wall, loved it! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JustCrust @ #17867: Javelin05–Thanks for the feedback. It was my first stab so this was some good advice. Unfortunate about the typo, but I think the reason it said it was wrong was that I intentionally left ingredients off as a connect word entirely. (I made the connect words bread-related) because I thought ‘ingredients’ would be too broad to count as a correct answer. Maybe that’s a mistake. BinDipper—May have little to do with the company you keep. The idea for the group was cliched joke subjects from yesteryear—probably should have called them “classic jokes” or “stale jokes”. I think no one tells these anymore. As an American, these four subjects (chicken cross the road, Polish jokes, screw in a light bulb jokes, and blonde jokes) litter old joke books, but some may have not translated elsewhere. Wes—correct. Tried to not make the grid too US-specific. Only after I submitted, did I realize that even some of the seemingly most omnipresent terms here (like Italian Sausage) are North American by nature. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jack Sheen @ #17872: Nice puzzle, could use more red herrings though to add complication! (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17867: It must be the company I keep. Not heard a ‘blonde’ joke since about 1980. Never heard a Polish joke. Long may that continue. (5 years, 9 months ago)

wes @ #17865: Man of steel ruined this (5 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #17842: Not a unique solution I'm afraid. You can swap SPIRIT with WRAITH and still get correct connections. Quite a nice grid apart from that. (5 years, 9 months ago)

wes @ #17825: Very good grid!. I didn’t do well haha (5 years, 9 months ago)

wes @ #17866: Enjoyable (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17868: Looked daunting to start with. But, once I got the linking theme became easier and resulted in a 10/10. Pleasing result. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

wes @ #17867: Are you American by any chance? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17867: Did not do it for me, sorry. You have misspelt "ingredients" by leaving the 'r' out, so generates an 'incorrect' result. The famous topics for jokes is too loose, in my opinion. And different types of sausage, again too loose. Types of bread and bread ingredients were good themes, though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TheOC @ #17866: Red herring central! A high quality challenge. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17804: ‘Colour’ has to be an acceptable answer here - it’s the most obvious link. It’s also completely valid. If it isn’t deemed acceptable because it’s TOO obvious, then the setter has made an error with the grid. It’s not for the solver to say ‘Oh it can’t be that. It’s too easy.’ It’s for the setter to ensure that situation doesn’t occur. No offence Dingleberry by the way; thank you for taking the time to do the grid. We all drop the occasional bollock :-D (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17827: I’m guessing Ms / Mr Unimpressed only uses the racquet spelling for a stringy bat (so do I actually) and doesn’t realise racket is valid. Gave this my best shot and got a couple of groups but I don’t really enjoy the grids where the clues are very similar. That’s why I didn’t like my latest effort. I can see the skill; just don’t like doing them. :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17827: You should be impressed, it's quite a good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17827: Explain catty comment please (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17842: Clever stuff - I managed 4 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #16001: Care Bears one is a bit niche. Otherwise good grid thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

bt @ #17804: Sorry Javelin, I disagree. If colour was an acceptable answer then there would be nothing to stop you swapping Red and Black (Redbox being a reasonably well known streaming service) to make multiple non-unique solutions. Hence you should know that it must be more complicated than that. (5 years, 9 months ago)

EDJC @ #17862: Half a bottle of claret will leave you unable to discern Georges and Johnsons. Good wall! (5 years, 9 months ago)

bt @ #17806: Javelin05 is 100% correct - he/she must be a prude. (5 years, 9 months ago)

(Spell) Check Please @ #17814: Aleksandr, not Alexsandr. Spent way too long looking for a Star Wars group thanks to that. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17842: Best grid today! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17796: Not too difficult but enjoyable. (5 years, 9 months ago)

EDJC @ #17853: Cruel (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17863: Happy with 4/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17862: Not well versed in NBA teams, but I can learn. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17858: Even-toed ungulates! Give me a break. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Unimpressed @ #17827: So I take it Giggsy makes a lot of noise when playing tennis? Or just doesn't know how to spell.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17865: Not sure that Steel matches the criteria for inclusion in that group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17839: Good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17861: Loved it. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17864: Kept my interest. Got 7/10 just missing the British battle involvement. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Royq @ #17859: Excellent (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17864: This is an example of where you have a good grid but then you over-egg it and end up with one you don't like much. (5 years, 9 months ago)

SPOILER!!! @ #17852: For those who don't speak Icelandic the answers are: . . . . . . Richest Countries in the World Countries that were at war with USA Islands belonging to USA Former UK Colonies (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #17290: It comes after 11 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17837: Agree with Koptaman. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17824: Aye, just fancied doing one with an odd category. That one seemed to fit the bill. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Circe @ #14492: Love a good homophone category! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17863: Liked it - but hard for a non- scientist. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #17822: By mistake giggsy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #14675: (5 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #17863: Nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #17512: Nice grid. I really enjoyed this one! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17839: Housemaid is card game and we shuffle feet but Good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17824: The Pigeon group was so out there I was convinced it was going to be a horrid "anagrams of countries" group or something. Nice work. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Will @ #17858: Maybe a little too obscure for most, nice red herrings! (5 years, 9 months ago)

You @ #423: Enjoyable (5 years, 9 months ago)

AC @ #17833: Very effective red herrings if you're a Harry Potter fan, but a bit of a cheat to put Scabbers the rat in amongst the mice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17824: This was so far beyond me I couldn't even see it (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17842: Excellent! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #17837: Teenage mutants are also all renaissance artists. Otherwise good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Harry @ #17833: Scabbers was a rat not a mouse (5 years, 9 months ago)

You @ #12833: Good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #583: Excellent grid. Enjoyed (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17839: Otherwise, good stuff (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17839: Minor gripe- was looking for another complaint rather than fire arm... but I can't think of.one either (5 years, 9 months ago)

David Bertram @ #17821: Pretty rubbish just having names as the connection four times. Solved it in 1.30, (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17821: Love the Beatles connection. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17839: Great stuff, just right (5 years, 9 months ago)

ORH @ #583: Good game (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17837: Good grid. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jack S @ #10573: Really difficult, could not do :( (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17833: Harry Potter, no thanks ! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17824: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jack S @ #17833: Really good grid, great red herrings! (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17832: It accepted what I said ("Summer Olympics"), but wouldn't accept "Boot"for that group. I know it's the groups themselves that are most important because you can go "yeah, I actually got that right" but it's good to put as many matching variants as possible. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17832: Didn’t allow ‘Olympic Cities’! (5 years, 9 months ago)

The Edge @ #17821: Bono is Irish too. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #17814: Good crossovers but a few too many means its not a unique solution. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #17821: Good grid. Only fault is that you say Famous BRITISH 'Johns' and 'Richards', when I think John Williams and Richard Chamberlain are both American. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17789: excellent grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17791: Likewise - pure luck guessing that group. And no idea if Knave was a crossover... might have been... Lapin - clever (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17824: Cheeky one - cheers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17808: Excellent - Arkle... fell at that one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17812: I got stuck on Yewtree too. Smart decoy. Share Edmonds concern, but just watch how duped he was by Chris Morris in 'Brass Eye - Cake' to feel better. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17818: Beat me - would never have got Notorious group as not hip enough. Got the Marnie group only, but it took all the time up. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17822: This is a repeat. (Not even sure how you do that) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17823: Thanks - agree Stanley has to be accepted - just need to write that in the small box and expand below (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17820: I loved shoe-in (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17804: Weezer are definitely not obscure, but that group did need one non-color album title to make it work. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17776: Would question the High street stores as they are nowadays more often in retail parks and online so I put major retail chains which I think is more accurate. Also just put footballers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #17157: Nice grid thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #17817: Nice grid - plate got me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17800: Another clever and interesting grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17802: Very clever, interesting grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17808: Clever grid, with lots of tantalising red herrings! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #13979: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17816: Not being an Arsenal fan felt a bit put out that footballers was not accepted. Good grid otherwise - thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17823: Singers for group three should be acceptable. Good grid - thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17823: Suggest adding 'one name' as well as 'one word' as a connection for the Bjork group. And just 'Stanley' for the Baker group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17813: Need to go and see ‘Chicago ‘! Great grid, thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17805: For the last group I put audio visual equipment, think all these items would fit in as well as smartphone. Good grid, thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17816: Loved this. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17819: I didn't get the connection for the 'make a film' group, even after spotting all the others quite quickly. Nice grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17821: Solved this one quite quickly but I'm sure there was some luck involved on my part in picking the right four for the first group. Really nice grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17807: Very tough! Just about managed to figure out all the groups but the 'rand' one, which I'd never have got in a million years. Good one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #15829: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #17803: (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17822: Aren't NE postcodes Newcastle-upon-Tyne? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Urbanballerina @ #17823: Suggest adding just "Stanley" as an acceptable answer. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17823: This is a duplicate of 17822 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17822: Nicely constructed grid. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen Fry @ #42: The answer to Life, The Universe and Everything. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #60: right on the money! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17821: Simple and straightforward, but elegantly done. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Stephen Fry @ #4241: Nice grid, thank you! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17819: Good grid. I too failed to get the direct solution. Enjoyed. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17819: Good - ironically didn't get the 'make a film' group, which is nuts because it's actually what I do for a living...! Numpty. Cheers (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17818: Oddly, given our exchange earlier, I got the word one first. Sadly my knowledge of the clan W let me down. I only knew one of them. Nice herrings beat me to a pulp. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17817: Got thrown off by all the things you hoped for - another nice one. We used to use River Plate in some daft extended rhyming slang: When asking for the bill we would ask for the 'Thora' - it went, Thora Hird-Word, Word of honour, Maradonna, River Plate-slate. Sad. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17809: May be because this version is riddled with spelling mistakes, to the extent that I thought that was the connection!? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17814: Agree - nice groups and red herrings (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17807: Neil - I enjoy yours immensely too - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17816: Nice and not too difficult - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17816: very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Suzanne @ #14630: Super! It beat me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Suzanne @ #12749: Excellent! (5 years, 9 months ago)

EDJC @ #5633: Is headland a synonym of bill? I don't understand that. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17812: You’re right, Helene. Memory failure on my part. She blew those three wishes though. First wish: infinite wishes. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17813: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17814: Good construction and crossovers. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howie @ #17812: brilliant stuff! got tied up with Reg Molehusband, (5 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #17810: I offered spelling mistakes for the last line. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Helene @ #17812: In the public information film, it was Mike who could swim like a fish, not Dave!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17810: Some major spelling issues here. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17812: Excellent grid! Molehusband a particularly good inclusion. (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17807: Perfectly made. Can imagine seeing this on one of those Champion of Champions episodes. My first 0/10 for a while, though I really should have got the Rehab line... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kate @ #17804: Agree with javelin05 (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17812: Anything Noel Edmonds-related is inherently suspect. (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #13751: This FAMOUS part of the answer is getting old. Famous names, places, battles etc Of course they are famous what would be the point of putting them in the grids otherwise??? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17802: Sorry, neil4god. Lol (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17802: The predictive text altered neilbegood in my earlier comment (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17802: A very nice grid, well reviewed by Nevillegood. Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17808: Great grid. 5 * from me. Knew what all the links were within seconds but I wasted too much time on having Arkle tied to the wrong group. Schoolboy error. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17804: Wikipedia says that Weezer are an (obscure for me) American west coast rock band, some of whose self-titled albums are alternatively known by the colours (sorry, colours) featured. However, the clues are also 'colours', so would suggest that be an acceptable answer, too. Only saying. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17812: Mr Blobby as suspect number 4, Neil? (5 years, 9 months ago)

BGW @ #17794: Too obscure for me... no chance of getting Stone Roses or Blue Peter pets (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17812: Five stars for predicting I'd try to make the Yewtree connection. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17805: Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17808: Nice intelligent grid ( no celebs !!!! ) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17806: Did not accept 'collective nouns' as an answer. I must be a prude, but didn't appreciate some of the answers in the 'swear word' puzzle. Apart from that, was OK. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17812: Well constructed grid. Enjoyed. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17807: Fiendish indeed. Managed only one answer. Clearly aimed at the elite solver, of which I'm not a member. Very much admired the hard work that went into its construction. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17802: Cheers Neil. I'm never sure about word links because they're often so hard to spot that the red herrings are an irrelevance. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17808: An excellent grid, and tough - but in a nice way. Has inspired one or two ideas. Cannot ask for more. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17809: Having reviewed your third grid submission first (17811), I note you have submitted the same grid three times. Oops. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17811: Basic structure of this grid is sound. No crossovers. It's weakness, however, is the Mona Lisa linked clues. Apart from the three misspellings, the value clue is erroneous as there are numerous estimates for what is a priceless work of art. May I suggest, 12349, that you could have substituted, say, La Gioconda for this clue. Sorry to be long-winded, just trying to be helpful. (5 years, 9 months ago)

mw @ #8000: easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17793: Thanks. Can't imagine anyone getting the sine group. Nine... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17797: Much too smart for me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17805: Hadn't heard of ...dance so didn't get that. Looked it up, still didn't get it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17767: A good grid but I think Biblical women should have been acceptable. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Planty @ #17803: Good point, I will avoid that in future. Although beyond US elections I can’t think of many other recurrent things in those years. (5 years, 9 months ago)

guest @ #17516: typo on 'the three kings' (5 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #17779: Sorry Blues I have to withdraw my comments as I have just attempted them with the present Mrs toast and they did not go as well as we might have hoped. Though to look on the bright side they are opening again in the morning . (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17803: Those years are also the dates of lots of other important four-yearly things. US presidential elections, for example. (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17802: Love the A Mall line. Original and requires no obscure knowledge, just lateral thinking. Naturally, I missed it completely. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17773: My apologies. The Orkney Islands, home of Highland Park, my favourite whiskey. (Joke alert) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17796: Great grid! Really enjoyed this one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17771: Liked it... though the homophones line is a little dodgy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17773: To be pedantic (!) Orkney, or the Orkney Islands - never ( in the UK) the Orkneys. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17791: Just something you picked up over the years I’d imagine. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Autopanda @ #17793: The german anagrams were beastly. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17786: Much too good for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17794: Not my kind of grid when all the entries are of the same type but it does have a nice red herring. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17793: Thanks Grecian. Beat me with the vire group. Other than French links, I don't know that word. Noticed that you could have played with a chess anagram there too. Not sure if that would have opened up more or fewer opportunities though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17786: A bit London centric for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17516: Didn’t allow ‘family members’ or ‘Christmas foods’!a (5 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #17779: And thank you too. That was the first thing I've done today of which I can say I didn't make a total pig's breakfast. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17079: The other football... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17791: Got one group. Not saying which. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17784: See previous comment. The timer did something weird and set itself to minus 2 minutes halfway through: i think it was showing mercy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17788: Some clever, but some just obscure (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17520: Didn’t realise they were Mars missions, put satellites instead. So close to a full house! Superb grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17525: Didn’t allow ‘half of comedy duos’, which is disappointing and a shame, because this is a really good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17783: I had to check then that it didn't really Laurie Oyster. That would have been a cock-up. Seems some Prairie Oysters are alcohol free while some aren't. The Guardian have a recipe that includes brandy - still not tempted though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17783: ... Ah! Apparently they don't contain alcohol. Group still works though (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17783: Excellent gridding - a rare 5* from me. Tho I must admit I thought a Laurie oyster was something rather different! Will have to Google (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17779: Aye, good fun, Bluesy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #17779: Bluesy It made me giggle. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howard Nimmo @ #17782: tough but on the money! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howard Nimmo @ #17782: (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17787: I would love to have seen Mickey Rooney in the Wrestler, much less any other Mickey Rourke film. I was so sure of myself as well. (5 years, 9 months ago)

nicetea @ #17782: Pretty tough. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17784: Thanks Jav. Yeah Giggsy, I didn't much like the two fictional (3 with the red herring) & 2 real set-up. I decided it was the lesser of two evils. If I'd had all one type I'd have had to dredge for some very obscure ones. Not as keen on the 'specialist' & actor points you make- she's done lots of other stuff. Conscience clear there. :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Howard Nimmo @ #17783: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17782: Good one - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #17079: I had no idea a nickelback was a football position, had to look that one up. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17783: Good fun. Nice diverse groups and crossovers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17784: ...plus, two fictional and two real...? Not sure (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17784: Pepper group needed a lot of specialist knowledge, especially when we are down to soap actors (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17779: Excellent. Great humour. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17780: Very enjoyable. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17782: Good grid. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17784: More challenging than your last grid. Good one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17783: Nice one and 10 out 10 for me. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17772: Thanks Neil. Enjoyed the grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lucy b @ #17772: Fabulous - I don't need them any harder than this. Still managed to have crossovers but not insanely hard Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17775: King and knight could be swapped... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17782: Very good! (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17765: Vredefort etc. eluded me, but within a lot of peoples general knowledge I bet, so fair enough. 7/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #16514: Meh, nut isn't really a fastener, a bolt is. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #17775: good one xx (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17773: Already well trodden, but internally famous and biggest WWII UK naval base and, if memory serves, also referenced in a Stereo MCs rap. The first group I got, scapa being the first and main indicator. Vague indeed.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #17776: " Navy Ranks" not good enough ! (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17781: Hi H. Thanks for the feedback. Not sure what you mean by adding cartoon. They are from the original Segar comic strip of Popeye. I included him to make it easier. You mean in the link solution? Make it so you don't need to put Popeye? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marky @ #17782: Clever, enjoyed this one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #16254: @Gwen last?.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #1942: a very very good grid. connections were very interesting unlike some other grids. particularly the superhero round. impressed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17781: completed it, but answers could do with tweaking - maybe add cartoon to popeye characters - thanks for the grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #13912: Types of music could also be suffixed "singer". "Suit" of itself does not suggest playing cards. Found this puzzle unsatisfactory. (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #4155: i have no idea of the jewellery cuts. very tricky row - it was my last row and just fell into place (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #98: quite easy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #4165: 10/10 thought it was quite easy, but only because i knew of crystal maze i suppose (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #12552: dalek row was very clever homophones line was very tricky didn't see it because wasn't reading aloud. x men, didn't recognise most of them other than wolverine. everyone should shut up about the game not recognising your answers for the connections. just look it up and see whether you got it right, who cares about whether it says its correct or not. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #13936: Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #3188: did terribly in this. it's a very good grid but it requires a lot of pop culture knowledge which i just didn't have. not so good on my soviets either lol (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #10577: easy, not enough red herrings (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #8403: fun, but too easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #2748: thought this was quite hard to solve the grid but got the connections easily. the keyboard row has a lot of red herrings! alt and space. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #10531: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #13935: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #7062: sole and pageboy lines were difficult to get! never heard of the ones in the pageboy line so was just guessing. hadn't heard of slime head in this context either. got all the connections by inferring though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

mr cam @ #2296: very nice. didn't get the sword or the bond lines to begin with but got their connections! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #11865: Nice 1 with Christian names starting "Z" (5 years, 9 months ago)

experienced one @ #2297: spectacular puzzle. very very good. the piano parts took me a long time to get. hammer is very easily mixed up into the 'plane' row! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #1631: Enjoyed (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin0 5 @ #8409: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

TennisTallulah @ #17779: Haha - love it! Excellent. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Anon @ #17765: Tough one! Spent the whole time trying to work out the anagrams (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17773: Scapa Flow is vague and Idaho isn't a Womble - what DO you lot read? :-D (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17773: Idaho was Yellowstone Boston Womble's mate, Firebird; a native american Womble named after the state. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Anon @ #17776: Didn't accept 'Arsenal' or 'Navy' = 1 star for quality (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17773: Forgot cousin Idaho Womble, brilliant red herring. Good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Firebirdman @ #17773: Idaho wasn't a womble. It was Orinoco (5 years, 9 months ago)

Wisty4RossChris @ #17775: Excellent one. Solved it quite well but was challenging. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #17776: didn't except Arsenal back 4, or Navy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17776: Well constructed grid, from an Arsenal fan? Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17775: Top puzzle, enjoyed very much. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17767: Great grid, enjoyed it although didn't give me Bible characters but perhaps wasn't specific enough? Also on the occupation themed clues - I think we can agree that it is fairly common as my first grid 16923 also included them!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17771: Wow! that beat me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17772: Fairly easy, but entertaining. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17773: Great work, fun and taxing. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17773: Scapa vague? Nah. Its a major feature of the Orkneys, great for otter watching, and for diving, and was a massive gig in WW1 when the German fleet was sunk. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17774: Fun grid, thanks. I struggled to find the answer for the naive group, as you've used just about all of the available synonyms! I tried young and juvenile but to no avail. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17758: Matty - Add to that, this page didn't accept 'except' either - not your day is it? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17764: nice grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17765: I would have jus been guessing so skipped (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #10387: pretty good, the Blows row I noticed is also still a word if only the first letter is removed, the last letter is optional (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #15523: @haywood, yeah I got it, but maybe I'd heard some of those before somewhere. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17772: snap - cheers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #3: Bit dubious about Polar solvents, but a good grid. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #6735: Enjoyed this grid. Whilst Bromley, Sutton, Merton and Richmond are London boroughs, they are also English towns (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17773: Scapa flow bit vague for my money - otherwise good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17773: A good grid thank you (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17752: I winder how many people have cracked this one! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17772: Nice, balanced puzzle. Enjoyed, and just scraped in in time. Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17768: Pleasing grid; simple but thoughtful (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17751: Really liked this grid! Solved it surprisingly quickly but love the red herrings and the Douglas and Lofthouse groups were great. (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17773: Ace grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17773: (5 years, 9 months ago)

neilb4god @ #17773: (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17773: Great grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17768: Pretty straightforward but a fun grid. I think I did a very similar group to your Son one a while ago which really helped me here. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17685: Good grid, even if my Depeche Mode knowledge is zilch! Spelling error in cannon as mentioned by others. Thanks for this grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17679: Great grid - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17689: Good grid, liked the ‘rainbow rhyme’ link. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Larry. @ #1497: I'm not happy. Mrs Larry doesn't want me to complain. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17692: Enjoyable grid - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17718: Good grid - thanks you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Timmon @ #17769: Weird. Wener, Brown, Minchin & Mensh should get a thumbs up if you say Louise or Louise's. Need to contact admin. See if I can check / alter it. Sorry if you get wrong. My bad. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17710: Excellent! I'm cross I didn't get the composer group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17766: It should be spelt Gandhi, not Ghandi. And I definitely think you need to broaden out the words you accept as answers for the Fletcher group. Other than that though it's a good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marc @ #17742: liked this one - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marc @ #17761: not bad but agree with Tom's comments (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17767: Yes! And my grid just before that had Morecambe as a decoy comedian. You and I were thinking along similar lines for some reason. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17767: Yes! And my grid just before that had Morecambe as a decoy comedian. You and I were thinking along similar lines for some reason (5 years, 9 months ago)

Timmon @ #17766: Cooper: A Comedian or barrel maker or both. I think the duplication worked. cheers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Cute Mage @ #17755: This is really cool. but also extremely difficult. (5 years, 9 months ago)

EDC @ #450: i liked this puzzle but wrote 'baby animals' and it was wrong for "young animals". bah. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17685: An enjoyable challenge Thank you. However, “Cannon” is misspelt, as noted by others. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17764: Well constructed grid - a good challenge. Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #7276: A couple of well-used themes, easily identified, plus an unusual one - which gave the puzzle it’s challenge. The individual “Birds” clues had no obvious counter clues for me. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17767: A well-constructed puzzle, but not too hard. Amazing that grid no 17766 submitted before this one shares the occupation themed clues. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #17766: Apologies, puzzle as submitted contains a mistake: “Cooper” is duplicated in error. A request for the puzzle to be corrected has been made. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17756: Awesome . (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17688: Luckily I only spotted the shadow group at the end and I suspect most gridders will instinctively place L'arc de Triomphe and Derby correctly. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17757: Too hard for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Liz @ #16333: Fun, I enjoyed it (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneedbridge @ #17763: Foxed me- but should have better. Did not accept "pointed" (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17764: Nice. should have got the rivers out once I remembered what a gharial was but, did t and ran out of guesses for the miskatonic group (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matt King @ #17688: Group "Derby..." accepted "British towns" as an answer. Brilliant rollercoaster group - totally stumped me! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matt King @ #17692: Group "Pierce..." accepted "Boy's names" as an answer. Group "Whole Lotta Love..." accepted "Wizard of Oz" as an answer (total stab in the dark!) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matt King @ #17713: Eggs?! Come on... (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17764: Sadly, Buffy dropped out. ;-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #17758: didn't except bones ???? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17761: Much better ideas and connections. I would have avoided this though as Albatross and Eagle are arguably interchangable- the groups would be looser but "birds" is often a group. Also, see grid 7276 ;-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17758: This felt a bit loose. Funny isn't a formal name In the sense that ulna is (that would be the humerus) : I can see that funny gives better red herrings in theory but I couldn't see any in practice. The climax group was a good one on its own but didn't obviously overlap with the rest of the grid to me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17763: Disguise is my middle name. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17763: Can't believe I didn't spot the May group (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17753: Thanks Sally. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Josh @ #17718: "Willy" connection didn't accept "Willie" (which is how it's spelled for Steamboat Willie) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Josh @ #17756: Saint, Tiger, Chief, and Warrior are also all singular forms of professional US team names in various sports. I never would have guessed Rugby instead of that. Otherwise, good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17759: Very nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17757: Yeah, in Harry Potter. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17756: Nice varied grid - nice (rare) 10 to start the year, thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17757: Butter? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ausi89 @ #17732: The emordnilaps group doesn't accept emordnilaps as an answer (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ausi89 @ #17738: Most of the grids aren't all that universal. It just usually favours UK so nobody complains. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17737: Neither did I Sally, but enjoyed the rest. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17753: The Tour de France got me! Super grid, thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Philb @ #17755: absolute rubbish (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17757: It didn’t like ‘noise’ for the third group. Otherwise a great grid, thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17756: Tricky but fair. Memo to self - revise nursery rhymes! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17737: Good grid, even though I didn’t get the continents (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #17272: Glourious (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sally @ #17745: Agree with others the ‘ess’ Ending wasn’t great. Otherwise a good grid, thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17756: This is fun, thanks. I didn't get the rugby teams, but Incy Wincy made me smile! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Archers @ #17751: Research required! 1950s footballers?! Good job puzzgrid isn't as strict as Victoria Coren-Mitchell. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17755: Not my cup of tea but I could understand if others enjoy it. Clever use of an R4 inside an R3. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #7582: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17747: Good puzzle. Must study caves more! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17716: Good puzzle (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17716: Good puzzle (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17745: OK. 'Earless' was, strangely above my head. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17753: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17753: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17718: Thought of 'Tinky' rather than 'Willy' Winky. Good puzzle' (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17743: Managed to separate out all the groups but couldn't spot the connection for the Gitane group. Great grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17725: Clever, I need more practice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17728: Enjoyed, nicely constructed (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17753: Great grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17751: Well constructed, (5 years, 9 months ago)

Chas @ #1875: Nice mix. Hertz and pascal nice red herring (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17730: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17737: Easy, fun and enjoyable (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #14353: HERBS (5 years, 9 months ago)

dwb @ #17746: The spelling was pointed out after submitting, need a way to make modifications. Jack Cloth is the main character in a comedy called Touch of Cloth. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Elle @ #16333: Tricky use of words (5 years, 9 months ago)

Elle @ #14447: Wow! I got stuck in this one. Top row I put float on water but it wasn't allowed . (5 years, 9 months ago)

Elle @ #583: Surprisingly easy! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17738: Ha! I am American but guessed "Blue Peter pets" for that line. :-D (5 years, 9 months ago)

Elle @ #17745: Quite good. I didn't get earless until I saw it written down! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17725: Very clever. 221B is quite a blast from the past for me! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17750: Saw wood is fine, its how you make bigger wood into smaller wood, not a spelling contest either. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Rantos @ #17750: Saw wood means snore in USA. Sorry (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17751: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17747: Very good grid. Not too tricky though lack of subterranean knowledge kept me from 10/10. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17748: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17730: I was ridiculously proud of that one, Foolio. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lindy @ #17745: didn't accept aristocrats (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17751: Very good, and much easier if you have Manx connections! (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #15466: There are four one digit primes: 2,3,5,7 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #863: Loved this (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #17743: Nice grid. Certainty not too hard. 10/10 in under 2 mins, but I'm fairly familiar with the gitane group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #17708: Nice straightforward 10/10. Haven't seen parts of a firearm come up for a while, nice to see an old classic link reappear :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #17742: Yep, also scored 10/10. Seen palindromes so many times on this site that they always stick out like a sore thumb. Cheers though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #17746: Agree with Dangermouse. Never heard of fruit spoon or jack cloth personally but I'm happy to accept that's on me and not you. Scored 5/10. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #17745: Good grid, scored 7/10. Didn't really like the Earl group but fair enough I suppose. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #2198: Sport illudes me but that’s ok. Didn’t allow ‘computer companies’ as an answer which was disappointing as these companies don’t just make laptops. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #17750: Yes, agree with Dangermouse - explanations need a lot of work and what's a "burth"? Tough grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #17751: Tricky one to dissect due to being mainly surnames. Scored 3/10. Never heard of Lagat, for the record. Cheers though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #17737: Fun & clever (5 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #17737: Cheers all and have a happy, lucky new year. Toast, diolch yn fawr. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17750: Some nice ideas. Did you mean "saw wood" or "wood saw" in the group with mirk, worm and dead? Normally you'd want the extra word to go always at the front or always at the end, but I don't think "saw wood" is really a thing. For that group and the silk group, you haven't actually given the answer. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tejayes @ #519: Tricky, but I managed to get 10/10! It's almost like four Round 1 puzzles. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Foolio @ #17730: Muff diver, classic. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Janiebelle @ #17736: I put "seccond", "wensledale" and "miniscule" in a group but couldn't find a fourth word to go with these as all the rest were spelt correctly. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17743: Thanks for the feedback D & J. I think the Gitane group was a step too far, (a bit niche), but it was hard to turn it down when it offered up the best red herrings. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #6175: Benjamin, Jackson and Madison weren't assassinated (5 years, 9 months ago)

bullshit @ #15243: teeth arent organs, b hole (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17708: Very enjoyable, particularly the mouse category (obvs). A "ball mouse" is one you use for a computer, with the little tracker ball underneath, rather than the alternative "optical mouse" which has (normally) red light. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy @ #17738: Not very universal (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy @ #17738: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy @ #17738: Not very universal (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy @ #17743: Very hard indeed (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy @ #17718: Fairly easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy @ #17723: Taxing (5 years, 9 months ago)

Fergal @ #4574: tricky - but, did not make us feel challenged (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17746: Nice mix of ideas, but you need "dessert" rather than "desert", sorry. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17737: Well done. Thought the last would be easier. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17731: Not good on hurdle group (5 years, 9 months ago)

Fergal @ #7018: Really enjoyed that, especially the prime minister ones, and the use of the irish for woman (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17740: Brillant well done. Finished with one second left (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17734: Damn it to the bowels of sod. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17731: Neat! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17734: Dilettante! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17743: Excellent! Difficult! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Els @ #17740: a satisfying 10/10 thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17740: Yes, agreed. Just got carried away with an idea. Thanks for playing. (5 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #17723: Clever stuff. Too good for me without some liquid inspiration! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dottie @ #17742: Nice easy one for a New Year’s Day, nothing to tax a alcohol soaked brain (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #5995: Simple and fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17734: Me neither... sorry about badminton. HNY2Y2 (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17738: Impossible, unless you are from the US of A. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17738: Impossible, unless you are from the US of A. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17732: It’ll have to be an honorary point at this stage, Dave. (5 years, 9 months ago)

DaveS @ #17732: Victor Valiant Hornet and Tiger have all been aircraft names? (5 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #17737: Thanks for not putting the hidden words in Welsh. You deserve a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda as well as the beer. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #17737: HNY to you Blues, keep them coming. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17737: ‘Kin hell mate, you’re not here to enjoy yourself. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17740: Thanks DM; enjoyed the grid DESPITE all the links being the same type, rather than because of it. I think mixed links usually work much better in making an interesting game. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17731: Clever but frustrating, left a few points out there, 6/10 but could have been 10/10 with better guessing - couldn't sort out the Hurdle group. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17732: Good grid and nice mix of content. Scored 7/10 after not identifying Tiger. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17734: Yes, some creative lines there, fair play. Didn't accept my given answer for the badminton line though which was annoying. I'm not sure what misspelling is being referred to in below comments but I didn't see anything untoward personally. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17737: Clever idea for a grid, happy new year. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17738: Too US heavy for my liking but fair play, American players might really appreciate this. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17740: A good principle but too many similar terms and overlaps make this a very difficult grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17741: good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17728: very nice, thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17713: They have said it all.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17737: Thanks - excellent fun and may you enjoy many more beers in good health - HNY (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17734: Always inventive and enjoyable - managed a rare 10. Thanks HNY Tom (5 years, 9 months ago)

orange socks @ #17741: love it! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #15791: #TheDonald (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #13156: That's a damn fine cup of coffee! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17703: Synonyms should be accepted as they are synonyms of each other and many others. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #17737: Nice, I got the Happy New Year, and then couldn't work out what the last group was. Should have noticed the slightly contrived clues! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17715: Enjoyed it, but thought 'religious titles' a fair description of that group- they aren't really colloquialisms. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Gunner @ #17729: Won't take "day" for Christmas DAY, Valentine'S (idiot) DAY, May DAY and Boxing DAY. What a waste of space. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17729: Quite a good grid but failed to accept "day" for the answer! (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17734: pretty good, though slightly spoiled by a misspelling (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17725: The Walter Mitty answer is actually slightly different from the other three in its group, so I think an answer that fits identically could have been better. Also, the 'Sorry' group should really accept a couple of other terms other than just the one word option. Clever grid, though! Interesting categories and a good one to puzzle over. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17726: Not really my kind of puzzle, this one - a bit too arbitrary for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17728: Found this one quite easy but it's a really nicely made grid and I did have think quite hard to get the connection for the 'port' group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17732: Liked this grid - got the groups but it took me ages to figure out the connection for the 'lived' group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Greg @ #17725: Yeah the “Sorry” group didn’t accept the answer as anything but a single word. Other than that quite a clever one this one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ash @ #14868: You, sir, are a very funny man (5 years, 9 months ago)

That Guy @ #17703: Why isn't boat an option for "lugger cruiser yacht barge" ? (5 years, 9 months ago)

That Guy @ #17728: Very nice grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

That Guy @ #16240: The answers weren't correct. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17732: Thanks Chris. I thought it was bobbins but I couldn't find examples to make it better. In the end I just posted it as is. (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17732: good solid puzzle (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17354: By that I mean the two can't swap groups. (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17718: Not too hard but still fun enough and no arcana, as it should be. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17718: Good Gridding! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #13255: Disappointing (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17713: I agree with Mbe, I have egg on my face after this. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17715: Fairly easy to spot groups, but good fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17722: Tough for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #17689: I agree with giggsy, otherwise great. (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17726: Huzzah. A puzzle with pizzaz. A real dazzler. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #17713: I got incorrect for birds which is pedantic. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17726: Unusual and beat me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #17728: Lovely grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17728: Simple to solve, but constructed well. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17712: Coulda been a bit trickier if there had been some groups of both letters and numbers. As it is, it's like two separate walls of eight options. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17728: Quite easy, but very well made (5 years, 9 months ago)

Liz @ #583: Really enjoyed it, thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17718: Easy - I always think groups like wonka should have the word that links to follow or precede - not both - might be just me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17724: Is that really what they foisted on other human beings for names? Such numpties (5 years, 9 months ago)

Peter @ #17712: D should have been aC (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17725: Got me - excellent grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17079: OI, YOUS A CLOSET FASHIONISTA? (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17153: til demonyms (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17223: CLEVER MISDIRECTIONS CHAP (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17277: gr8 grid, but should not accept any answer that includes the letter T (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17311: mad respect for trunks (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17570: should accept "Clue" as well for non UK players (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17571: paul who? (5 years, 9 months ago)

beaushanks @ #17685: "NATO" should be accepted for the phonetic alphabet group (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17718: (also I would have spelled it as Winkie) (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17718: I found this grid very easy but it was quite satisfying - since some in the Winky group are spelled differently from each other, I typed them in the answer as the plural, which is spelled the same, and it said "no", which was a bit mean. I'm noticing a bit of a trend where one of the category links is also a clue in another group of late. Is it just me? (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17725: This grid had four good, distinct categories, but the "Sorry" group wouldn't accept the category when spelled, as it normally is, with two words. That's just mean. I think a snugger match could have been found than "Mitty" but I won't complain because that was the one that helped me identify the category. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JoanPickles @ #17726: ? (5 years, 9 months ago)

popgoestheweasel @ #17726: But still worth a go. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #17726: Rubbish (5 years, 9 months ago)

popgoestheweasel @ #17726: Quite banal however I did get one in the last few seconds! (5 years, 9 months ago)

SaiorJerry @ #17726: quite fiendish (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17723: I liked doctor who, but I don't think anyone would even try to get taken in by Christopher reeve (5 years, 9 months ago)

Julie @ #1396: Full bed! Too many red herrings. (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17724: quite liked this, until I saw that one of the answers was concerning a celeb family !!!!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17354: The Plough isn't a constellation. The Plough (or Big Dipper) is an asterism. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Geraint Jones @ #17718: Enjoyed that (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #17725: Now that’s what I came here for (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mbe @ #17718: Excellent grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17718: well constructed (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17716: Very nice. (Tho personally I would also avoid the 2 footballer groups) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Wes @ #17716: 2 different footballer groups? Makes this too hard and not very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Timmon @ #17651: The fact that I typed Eyes = correct. Duran = Correct. Even typing David gave me correct. But Putting Olympic Cities and getting "Wrong" was not what I was expecting. A tadge cruel (5 years, 9 months ago)

lindy @ #17708: I got the mouse line despite having no clue what a mouse ball is. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17717: TKO'd. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17687: Great grid but difficult. Cheers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17699: Manger group very unique (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17696: ditto for me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17708: ditto (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17717: You beat me - fairly (5 years, 9 months ago)

NearVana @ #17702: Really good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

NearVana @ #17702: Really good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

BinDipper @ #17717: Sorry. You need to put the plural in the Ennis-Hill group to get the point. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17651: Think the non-capital element was a bit harsh. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #17708: Mouse ball??? (5 years, 9 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17701: Nice :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dottie @ #17716: Very clever, red herrings all over the shop. I failed miserably. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bob @ #17715: Fairly easy to find the groups, but then didn't accept "palindrome" or "detective", despite using those words in the description. (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17713: The answer for the "Ostrich" group is a bit bloody-minded, though the grid is otherwise a nice one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17713: I think you'll find that these are birds. (5 years, 9 months ago)

GK @ #15634: I don't know whether this was intentional, but with Kofi Annan having written a book titled "Interventions", and the common term "divine intervention", I was way off... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Graham @ #17685: Good wall but managed to get it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17715: I really enjoyed this grid - solved it in about 45 seconds but the "mum" group was nicely hidden with the use of red herrings. However, I will quibble that the correct spelling is "Kojak" (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17713: Could have given the point for "weights"... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Bigger Man @ #16856: What a delicious grid. My wife and I ate up its difficulty. Loved it (5 years, 9 months ago)

Louise West @ #17649: mine too. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew Shirley @ #17649: This has ruined my christmas party. (5 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #17697: Very inventive, especially the French verbs. Great fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #16269: Teams Joey Barton has played for was too obscure for me. I'd be surprised if many got this answer. No complaints at all though. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

OCK @ #85: The "Induct", "Recruit", "Dragoon", "Enroll" group should accept "synonyms" as a link... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17706: Good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17706: Good one. I could see 3 groups but Needed to have heard of one more of the famous people... (5 years, 9 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #17703: Shame you did not include "sailing vessels", otherwise full house. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17692: Well done (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17703: Fun groups - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17692: Nice, varied and fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17679: nice - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17689: I always think the word that is added should be at the beginning or end of every word in that group - not a mixture of both. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17697: It's an anagram of cider... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17697: very Nice Tom - Manger group especially clever and tricked me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17697: It's an anagram of cider... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #13155: Yeah, it should include "razor brands" (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17700: Why not? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #10121: Enjoyed this. Thank you! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #17689: Good line, colour me impressed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17700: features hidden should be ok. Also, shouldn't have two "hidden" solutions in same grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #186: Great grid. Did you know the "Paper" row has two words that contain "heel" and "shin"? That threw me! Well done. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #10577: THanks, enjoyed this grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17698: nice grid - though i would never get a pokemon clue. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #184: Love it! The Monopoly tokens is clever! THanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17697: Fermented Apple juice. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #1396: Thanks! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #6140: Good fun, thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #583: Great - thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #11: I enjoyed this, thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #17658: OK but the answer: "Ford" was close enough - I thought. Victoria would have allowed it, surely? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #17691: OK but "Shortened Boy's Names" is a bit dubious - and, after Matt being an obvious paint, they stand out. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17697: What is hard cidre? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dh @ #17658: Wrote Ford didn't work (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pete @ #17692: Good fun grid. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #17679: Challenging and accessible, good fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #44: Easy Peasy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #184: Easy enough. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #48: Quite fun but very easy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #6140: Yeah. Good one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #583: Fair enough (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #17158: You tubers? Utter nonsense. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #17645: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aaaaaah @ #17635: Our Jobs. Utter nonsense. (5 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #17671: Great grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Bev Gray @ #17563: Judt enjoying it (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17696: I really wanted to like this more. But how is yet different from future? (It allows overlap with Marley, sure, but...) The locations are just locations and that doesn't allow much overlap. Humbug! (Srsly tho, thanks for settingit) (5 years, 9 months ago)

astro8 @ #184: Yep... Cartoons! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #6303: Tough but nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Timmon @ #1396: Could see Chess was a group (but which 4) The Letter A was clever. though I found fairly quickly I was stumped for a while (as it should be) on the others. As I would never of thought of mattress sizes. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Timmon @ #6140: Bismillah No. Fairly easy but. Wish it had accepted Queen as an answer, as I didn't fancy typing out Bohemian Rhapsody. But still enjoyed the grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #17692: a good fun grid, well done (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #11973: good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Glooey @ #16928: Free is a number if you're from East London :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #48: Clever grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

That Guy @ #17624: Very Good! The dances were very hard to work out! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Els @ #17580: love these grids - well done cockney (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sean @ #8403: superb wall (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17672: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Paratus @ #17677: For should be fore (5 years, 9 months ago)

Paratus @ #17685: Cannon is double 'n'. Canon is something else entirely. (5 years, 9 months ago)

answers are @ #7458: incorrect (5 years, 9 months ago)

Annette M @ #17194: Two of the things are not insects (5 years, 9 months ago)

carol @ #161: sorry - bit silly I think (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #17651: Magnificent grid! Not too challenging but it was really fun nonetheless. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #17174: Much better than good! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17679: Nice grid, thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #433: I said "Poems" and it marked me as wrong... (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17685: 'Cannon' is spelt with a double 'n' in the middle. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17683: Original! (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17659: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/aunt (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17667: Benin, innit. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Laura @ #17677: Loved this, very clever. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17671: Excellent, far too good for the likes of me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17678: Took me a moment to get 'topsy' (as in topsy-turvy). That's not how Benin is spelled (or benign), though, and 'seventeen' is pretty weak. This grid needed a bit more work I'm afraid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17675: The others had a fair stack of hit singles during their career, so if you were following British music during the 00s you'd probably have heard at least one thing by them (obviously one of the remaining 3 was far far bigger than the other two). (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17675: The other 3 are well known? Ok,, news to me... Fair comments which is a pity because it had nice ideas in. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17678: Sorry, but not a great grid I’m afraid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17653: Very tidy (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17675: I feel a bit bad writing so many critical things, but this simply isn't a good grid. "Shine" sticks out like a sore thumb in its group, because the other 3 are very well known and I don't honestly know what "Shine" is despite Googling. "Royal" goes before the linking word, the other 3 in the group go before it, which is awkward, especially because you have have 2 separate groups with the same linking word, one group before, one after. If the distinction is important, then "royal" doesn't belong in that group. (Also the "new" group didn't accept the linking word). (5 years, 9 months ago)

edwardo @ #17678: I can think of at least one alternative answer for the "light" group. The "Seventeen" group is very strained, especially that clue, and I also don't understand "psy" here. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17667: what's the Benn country? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17678: A lot of this simply doesn't work - psy, benine for example (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17558: Duplicate of previous one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17553: Arms works instead of hand - I know a lot of King's Arms but not any King's Hand! (5 years, 9 months ago)

AES @ #1396: Good one, a little tricky but not too much. (5 years, 9 months ago)

AES @ #583: A little easy, but fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

PPP @ #4613: "stations" not good enough? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17647: very nice - (would quibble only with jumper in that group) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17658: not sure bout the beth group - bit tenuous. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17660: good unique groups - clever (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17662: Fun - quite easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17666: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2010/feb/02/lancet-retracts-mmr-paper Enough said. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Cylie Bondo @ #4747: A difficult one 4/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17666: How's immunity a complication? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Evelyn Wilson @ #17662: very good - as a Scot, ' hen' certainly led me astray.. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister tom @ #17654: Some lever stuff going on there (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17662: Firm but fair. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kezmicdust @ #17647: Very nice grid and nice that the answers worked! One of those that is gettable but not too easy, so you feel satisfied at the end! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #51: Since you ask Sergeant.... I recognised one of them, but required an educated guess to get the group out. Sure it's a tough grid but not the toughest and I for one am in no position to complain anyway. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17654: Some very clever stuff going on there (5 years, 9 months ago)

MJ10 @ #17497: Spelling mistakes - it's Scrimgeour, and 'martial' rather than 'marshall' (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17651: Ranked it easy because it didn't last long, but nicely put together (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17647: Thanks -) I'd honestly been aiming for an easier one but they never seem to end up that way... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Johnny @ #17647: Yeah, I think this might be one of the best :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17636: Top gridding (5 years, 9 months ago)

Drblack @ #17651: Not hard but certainly not very easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17540: Really curious where LKast is from. Here in the American Midwest most of these do have those silent letters, except maybe the place names (which I have no instinctive pronunciation for). I'm struggling to think of any region that pronounces both Ts in Thistle or the T in Mortgage. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Reynardine @ #17648: Pompey et. al I likewise didn't find a herring. Was annoyed that 'Celtic Leaders' wasn't taken for Boudicca - Ireland/Wales/Scotland are all Celtic, as was Boudicca's Iceni tribe. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17648: thought I'd nailed it, but said that boudicca etc were former leaders (not "folk heroes") of England etc (5 years, 9 months ago)

jrbg @ #17611: This one was clever and tricky (5 years, 9 months ago)

jrbg @ #17610: Too difficult for me. Perhaps the answers needed to give a bit more leeway (eg the tennis one) (5 years, 9 months ago)

jrbg @ #10826: More tricky than the rating let on imo, well done (5 years, 9 months ago)

jrbg @ #10315: Difficult, got 4/10, good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

jrbg @ #12793: Good fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

jrbg @ #13165: Fun grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17647: I really like this one. Obvious once you see it, but with plenty of red herrings. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sian @ #17648: Well done! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17648: Nice one. Ignorance helped: there is probably a red herring in the salop group which was wasted on me (5 years, 9 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17606: enjoyed this grid. thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17636: Seems a drill is a primate - (mandrills are mainly used for delivering drugs at night... waiting to see who gets that reference) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17634: Merry xmas - (only momentary humbug moment, wasn't crazy about two letter group (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17636: Yah, a large baboon. (Ergo, not tecknickly an ape...) A drill isn't. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #17636: Mister Tom a mandrill is a type of monkey. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Cylie Bondo @ #1708: Good one - missed the spoonerisms and got 7/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Cylie Bondo @ #1875: Good one - 6/10 for me (5 years, 9 months ago)

GK @ #11695: Of course the comments will contain spoilers... what would you expect them to be about without? The weather? (5 years, 9 months ago)

CarefulKeith @ #566: One of our favourites as avid Only Connect watchers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

GK @ #12167: "Stream", "Runnel", "Brook", "Creek" should accept "synonyms" as a possible link. Otherwise great grid, cheers :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17636: Drill? I got it, but... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #17601: Some good crossovers but house and weight are interchangeable, as are roll and end, so its not a unique solution. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12262: It was good, wasn't it? 5* as it's Christmas (5 years, 9 months ago)

carol @ #238: my usual gripe - wouldn't accept 'written communication materials'. don't care if PuzzGrid gets annoyed with me - the answers have to be as carefully constructed as the grids. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #17556: This was amazing! I was completely stumped, but it was fun throughout. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #9214: I absolutely love this grid! Seemed difficult at the start, but became much more accessible once I figured out the fun and unique theme. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #12262: This was an amazing grid! The connections were varied & challenging, and the fun factor was high. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17634: A merry Christmas to all :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #16074: Nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17599: Good one. Merry Christmas ! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Petergee @ #17580: Mixing definition and words that can be linked is cheating (5 years, 9 months ago)

Petergee @ #17624: bit too obvious (5 years, 9 months ago)

Midge @ #17612: Hey, I thought Krueger was a nightmare on elm street? Good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17629: Not sure light group is specific enough. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17516: Neither Family members or singers were accepted. I would agree the latter may not clearly include singing groups. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17503: Watch isn't a sense. I put things you can do. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17497: Wouldn't accept "missing vowel TV game shows" or " homophones for letters". It was easy to resolve the wall as the missing vowel group stood out but the missing alternate letter group was too difficult to work out. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17629: Strange style but you might be drunk because it's Christmas so who can blame you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

zac tudor @ #17606: good grid but bad at picking out answers when correct (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17624: Yes limited overlaps and straightforward subject matter but it's nice to get a 10/10 without working for it in amongst the difficult grids. Cheers mate (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17605: What is pass time? Also pastime has one T - so past would be followed by 'ime'. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17606: Agree - banks is correct (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17612: Good tricky groups - got me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17624: Very. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TiresomeTherorum @ #17299: Awful, doesn't make sense (5 years, 9 months ago)

TiresomeTherorum @ #17624: Easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

John P @ #184: I typed cartoons as answer 3 and was deemed incorrect. Unfair. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Em @ #433: Poetry terms is not accurate (5 years, 9 months ago)

Boblat @ #12409: Typed in hairstyle...it wouldn't accept it. I missed the s out...shite (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17570: Some old friends.... but nicely combined (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17609: Rembrandt migjt ha e worked better in the other group... good fun tho (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #9214: A bit easy once I realized the theme. Nice grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #15868: Easy one for a change (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #220: Prime minister red-herrings really made me confused. Very nice grid though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ash @ #17611: Very inventive (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17603: Hmmmm, don't know what a "met ball" is, or what other word sounds like "jewel" - not "duel"?! I scored zero! (5 years, 9 months ago)

BGW @ #17610: Some very niche subjects in this one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #164: Nice grid. "top level domain names" should have worked though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BwB @ #14436: Didn’t accept porcelain for the pottery group 😠 (5 years, 9 months ago)

BwB @ #14441: Saville???? That’s a very unfortunate spelling mistake. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17581: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kez @ #17606: Hmmm... it didn’t accept bank for banks nor train for underground lines. You can make an argument that train is not right (I would disagree), but you have to accept bank! (5 years, 9 months ago)

sb @ #17608: Fun Christmas treat! (5 years, 9 months ago)

sb @ #17580: Nice and easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Big Johnny @ #583: Really enjoyable and fun to play. Hope you release another one soon ☺ (5 years, 9 months ago)

sb @ #17574: Very hard and very clever (5 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #17581: I fell for all the red herrings but thankfully my knowledge of Eurovision helped solve it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BGW @ #17570: Good wall with some decent red herrings (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17601: (5 years, 9 months ago)

truecockney @ #17588: Just for a little clarity... 3 points refers to the snooker ball value (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17580: Good one, not obscure but with enough herring (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17588: Very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #17553: Well done grid! Really liked the directional red herrings. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17560: we've had this before (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17567: ditto (5 years, 9 months ago)

Elf 1 @ #17144: Thank you! This was fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17493: Put ways of scoring in ball games but wasn't accepted. Agree that the in category is not good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17492: Materials was not accepted for fabrics (5 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #17588: Very enjoyable. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #6420: Very clever! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17580: Good one - cheers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Suzanne @ #17588: I got score but not green. A good one! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17588: Nice one - but I'm a London boy and I've never heard of a result being a score - or 3 points being green. (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #16157: Always enjoy truecockney grids (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jake @ #17570: Really good. Didn't do very well but enjoyed none the less. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #9646: Nice grid and (unfortunately for me) very effective red herrings (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17580: Good grid, but not heard of 3 out of 4 of the mountain range set. (5 years, 9 months ago)

zac tudor @ #722: nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

jonpuzz @ #17560: thanks for an enjoyable wall! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kezmicdust @ #17551: Thanks for the feedback re: impairs/mars.. To be fair, impair is listed as a synonym for “mar” in every thesaurus I’ve seen, so you might want to take it up with the thesaurus writers! https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/mar (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17571: Good grid, Thank you! (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17554: Enjoyed that, though it did take 2 + minutes to get the first set of hidden transport. Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mtthwnbl @ #17544: Good grid - dog one was tough (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mtthwnbl @ #17557: Enjoyable grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

WindmillLady @ #17111: One group made me laugh out loud. Great! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17563: Very nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

lkast @ #8000: I actually guessed the welsh one as my second set. Not because I knew any of them, but because they were the only one word answers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lkast @ #6833: I haven't heard of any of the ones in the Fab group, but I was still able to complete the wall with the other categories. It required a good amount of thinking. Only issue is that it accepted me saying US presidents (which is technically correct), when it wanted to know that they were assassinated. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lkast @ #10577: I'm pretty sure light ray isn't a thing (x-rays, radio waves, etc. are all types of light). I still enjoyed it, and it required a good mix of thinking and a bit of outside knowledge. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lkast @ #8355: This is a great one. The bands answer was easy to spot out of all of them, but I didn't actually know the connection. It was very satisfying to figure out the Card category and the -pan category. Well done. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lkast @ #17558: Great quiz. You rated it as medium, but I feel like the inclusion of the Thompson category makes it a hard level quiz. Overall, though, this was a very enjoyable wall. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lkast @ #17567: the elbow is part of your arm, not attached to it. Also, fingers are attached to the hand not to the arm itself. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #4777: Needs to be more flexible with acceptable answers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #17559: The red herring was a red herring. Laughing out loud. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Robbo62 @ #17562: Moss didn't win the World Championship. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #17541: Wouldn't accept drinking vessels. (5 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #17564: Nicely balanced difficulty level. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sue @ #17561: Good quiz.Not too easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #6678: tennis scores = Love, 15, 30, 40, deuce, advantage, game, set, match. Otherwise thanks for the grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #6682: Thanks for the grid. Lilly is spelt Lily. (5 years, 9 months ago)

nonsuch @ #8783: I put 'well-known abbreviations' for the +S Trike group (ie tricycle, mashed potato, logarithm etc) and it accepted it - not sure why?! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dave75 @ #17563: Nice grid! Not too difficult but with a few red-herrings (5 years, 9 months ago)

nonsuch @ #17556: Refreshing change from some of the bloke-ier grids, thanks - if tricky! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17553: Good Stuff! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #8793: 'cups' marked as incorrect (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17554: Well constructed and very clever. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17540: I must have the right sort of accent for this. 10/10- loved it (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17553: Pretty good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17556: Clever (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela Douglas @ #7712: I guessed “named after people” for the Trump group and was marked correct which was good, though I didn’t quite have the right reason. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #17333: Simple grid. Good for someone just getting into them. John Snow is fine; very famous cricketer in his day. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #17542: Yeah, not sure about this one myself. I think there’s a key link and if you spot that one early, it’s doable. If you’re missing that bit of info, it’s a fecker. I started with just 4 names but then realised that that automatically meant there were two ways to solve it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Peachy @ #17507: I enjoyed this. Took me too long tho (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17238: This was very fun. I liked the play with four candles and fork handles. I'm not sure what a christmas box is though. other than that, it was a great wall. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17288: Some of these were looking for really specific categories. I completed the grid, but got none of the categories. I said video games for the arcade game one, which is also an answer. Also, after getting three wrong answers because you were looking for something ultra-specific, It was odd for the last category to be 'two player games', since that is so general. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17506: This is ridiculously hard. The repetition of gods made it extremely hard to notice patterns. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #583: Lots of good red herrings. Many people go overboard with the red herrings, but you kept it to five items in a category which makes it manageable. It was a good use of general knowledge, and word puns. While this wasn't very hard (no real trivia; almost everybody knows the facts), it was very enjoyable and fun. Despite the lack of trivia, it still did take a good mental challenge. Well done. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17540: This is very accent oriented. The silent s category seemed smart (it was the first one I got), but beyond that I, an American couldn't get the other categories because we do pronounce the L in palm (Folksestone and Alnwick I assume are places in the uk). We also do pronounce the w in keswick. Both Ts in Thistle are pronounced, and if you use proper diction you would pronounce the t in mortgage. Overall, this is a shit quiz. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17551: great grid. Impairs/mars aren't exactly synonyms, but it's close enough. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17324: Morse is a code, not a mode of communication like the others. Barge, Ski, Telegraph, and North aren't proceeded by pole, they are followed by it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17333: It's Jon Snow not John Snow. Other than that, it was pretty good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17417: This was a really creative one. It had some good red herrings, and similar categories which kept it interesting. But other than the two music related categories, it was open. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17470: I got the playing cards almost immediately, but the rest were very smart. Sadly, I wasn't good enough for them. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17503: anagrams of each other is too easy. The rest were pretty good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17510: the category of having everything be anagrams of each other was too easy, but the rest were good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #16838: Only issue was that it didn't accept "programming" for the "coding languages" category. There was the obvious red herring of having five elements. I don't know if this was intentional, but anaconda is a program used to aid python programmers, so that might have been intended as a red herring. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17380: They weren't hard clues, just a lot of red herrings. Usually there shouldn't be more than 5 of a category, but there were six chess pieces. Overall, a creatively made quiz, which gave me a good challenge. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #17487: Didn't accept ornaments for the christmas tree decoration category. (5 years, 9 months ago)

LKast @ #16717: it didn't accept food as an answer when it was expecting "things you can eat" (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17551: Would have been a great grid, but I really don't think 'impairs' works as a synonym for 'mars'. To impair something is to stop it from working properly, whereas to mar something is to spoil its look or feel. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TheMaker @ #17544: Apologies for a duplicate of this puzzle (#17532) - it didn't seem to have uploaded so I redid it again and then found the first one to have uploaded after all... (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #9636: I needed 20 minutes to get halfway at best. Not sure this wall will be completed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17542: Wow - very clever but completely impossible for me (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #7330: Slipped up with the 3 letter words, but enjoyable, Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17551: Hi Gunner - 'Infarct' is a word, actually. It's a medical term and you can find it here: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/infarct (5 years, 9 months ago)

john p @ #17540: Connections are too similar - no variation - and the T is silent in that word. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17547: Very tricky grid! Clever though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

john p @ #17376: a good warm up one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Gunner @ #17551: " Infarct" is not a word. "Dictionary" however, is. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mb @ #17543: No starting point (5 years, 9 months ago)

paulayres @ #17540: nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #17497: bad (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #17541: PALINDROME (5 years, 9 months ago)

Huh? @ #17534: Didn't accept wrestling? (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17536: Clever grid but 'non-metals' is too broad a connection I think. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17536: Clever grid but 'non-metals' is too broad a connection I think. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17541: It's 'palindrome', not 'pallindrome', which means people who got the correct answer are being told they were incorrect. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17478: Good grid! Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17543: Hmmmm not so happy with boys' names but otherwise quite clever! (5 years, 9 months ago)

RossChrisWisty @ #17541: Rebel ? Palindromic? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Gunner @ #17536: Said "scientists" for the first group; didn't except cause you didn't specify that word alone as a link while creating the grid. If you're gonna be lazy about specifying links, maybe stick to playing grids instead of polluting the pool. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kezmicdust @ #17541: I’ll second the comments below (not all jugs are made of glass and the palindrome one is really annoying).’ Also, there is a second solution. Racecar, Stats, Kayak, and Rebel all have palindromic centres, while Anna could be put into a “girl’s names” category. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nobed @ #17494: Average (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17518: Umpire group - Que?? - (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17519: I’m so frustrated I said it twice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17534: 1940 group a bit of a stretch (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17519: Please explain the japp row someone (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17519: Please explain the japp row someone (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #11619: Fun grid. Thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #13910: Beautiful grid. Thank you! (5 years, 9 months ago)

X @ #17541: Palindrome is spelt with one l (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17535: I really like this one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #17535: Good fun with a classy punchline. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #17542: Sorry - forgot to alter the guess at difficulty. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #17531: Thanks for the feedback Tom and Sid (5 years, 9 months ago)

TT @ #17535: Very good - and the final reveal was clever. (5 years, 9 months ago)

lindy @ #17528: Just about every city has a cathedral..that was the original definition of a city. (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #17524: Good grid but my answer - crisp maker missing an "s" - wasn't recognised so got 6 instead of 7 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17516: Gave me a bit of a headache, but was fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17512: Lovely, thank you (5 years, 9 months ago)

WindmillLady @ #17143: Great fun, thanks! (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #17536: It was pretty hard, I think the numbers link was a bit tenuous but overall well put together (5 years, 9 months ago)

GavinJ @ #17535: Very good grid, and made me laugh when the whole grid was solved. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Rain @ #17536: Hard and no nothing of elements but was well designed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Peachy @ #17490: Lots that's good but can't find a reference to Po in that group. Po is a Teletubby, (or a river). (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #17513: Lol I'd seen the Incredible loads of times and I still didn't get that 😂 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #17514: Nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #17519: Got the insects and transformers only. Not seen the inspector show, and I don't understand that other row even with the answers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #17520: Nice grid. Somehow managed the SP category but not the nasa missions! However it would be nice if "SUV" was accepted for the 4x4 cars. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #17522: Sweet grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #17524: Never heard of black mirror but nice grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17531: A rare 5*. Some grids are hard because there are too few possibilities in sight: this was tricky (well, a bit) for the right reason. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17528: Yoga poses was a really good group but the rest was a bit simple. The Gloucester group kinda works but stilton was famously served in stilton but made elsewhere. Iirc as a protected regional speciality it's actually illegal to make it there (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17531: Excellent stuff! Precisely the right level of difficulty. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17512: Very Clever! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17514: Clever gridding, well done. (5 years, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #377: pity ingredients for curries not accepted.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17524: Very hard. Not heard of a black mirror before but dud get a point for one group! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17528: My correct solution was not accepted for one group, but otherwise it's a good grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Wes @ #8835: Not very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

DH @ #17520: Liked the 'sprouts' category - very clever (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17324: Very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie @ #17531: Thank you. It’s always good to get the thumbs up from a person. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17329: Id worked out the connections but couldn’t make them fit. Now i know why- shame, cos it would have been a good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17352: 5/5 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17360: Excellent (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #10608: Bass and steel are interchangeable, which is not ideal. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17520: Excellent (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17469: It's either (5 years, 9 months ago)

Maccy @ #8409: Forgive my I was 12 when I made these (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #17422: This is a fantastic grid! Great job! (5 years, 9 months ago)

colin @ #8403: Perfect grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17519: I solved the wall relatively easily, and I still don't understand the Japp row (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17531: I liked this one. Get-able, but not too easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

a person @ #17532: very good, just the simpsons one that was a bit dissatisfying (there no such thing as a 'lis' or a 'ne') (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #17525: Seaside towns rejected. Haruumph! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17454: Since when was Fleur a member of the Weasley family? (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17532: Nice grid - two groups very easy to get but the second two, not so much! (5 years, 9 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17448: I have learned that I am non-rhotic! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17528: If the answer to one of your groups is 'cities with cathedrals' you need to make sure you accept 'cathedral cities' as a correct answer. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Charity @ #15669: Teacher, Nurse etc - marked 'Professions' wrong Ears, Eye. Nose, Mouth - marked 'parts of the face' wrong Hospital etc - marked 'civic buildings' wrong Sad, Happy etc - marked 'emotions' wrong (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17490: I thought this was an excellent grid, but ballot rather spoils it - it doesn’t fit in the same way as the others in that group. Nice overall though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17501: I didn’t quite see how one line fitted in.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17503: Innocent fun! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17504: Surpringly tricky. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17509: Enjoyable. Not terribly hard. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #17528: Meh (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17520: Nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Arthur @ #17525: Best grid I’ve ever done! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hello @ #17524: I love this grid. Good work from Harry potter. Liked the dancing clue. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17387: While that's true, many grids are too UK-centric for Yanks, so one of these in a blue moon isn't a horrible thing :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17513: No red herrings so just a bit too easy unfortunately (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17511: Good grid, managed to get all the groups but just couldn't see the connection in the 'demon' group. Good red herrings! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Suzanne @ #17519: I couldn't solve the wall and don't understand the solution to one of the rows -- Japp, Morstan etc. Sorry. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17517: it accepted "songs" for the linkin park connection. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mizzle @ #8923: Puzzle should accept Mustard (singular) :( (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17246: Top gridding (5 years, 9 months ago)

Honest lee @ #16965: Yeah so, NO. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17513: No crossovers or guile (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17489: Loved it - 7/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17503: Nice - easy but nice 👍 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17504: Very nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Stavros @ #17511: Wow great grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Stavros @ #17511: Wow great grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Arthur @ #17511: Well that’s 5 minutes of my life I’ll never get back (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matt @ #17511: Tough grid nice one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17465: Very nice- very tough too (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17511: Good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17511: Very good stuff! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17512: Nice fun theme and not too difficult. Worked hard for 10 points. (5 years, 9 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #17511: NICE GRID (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #17477: Not one for me, tries too hard to be clever and not really sure it hits the mark. (5 years, 9 months ago)

David Cringles @ #8355: Kinda fab (5 years, 9 months ago)

David Cringles @ #2296: Not fab (5 years, 9 months ago)

David Cringles @ #583: fab (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #17512: Simple but fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

jeffy 2 @ #16965: Andy p dont. Make fun cause your one is stuiped (5 years, 9 months ago)

jeffy 2 @ #16965: Idont know why but ethven though i speel it rong why did itnot accept it (5 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #17510: Bit too simple, needs some crossovers to be more challenging (5 years, 9 months ago)

jeffy 2 @ #10352: (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #17512: Nice festive grid, thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #368: very interesting categories. (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #368: Really liked this one. So many great red herrings for tarot, probably my favourite to date (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #17501: Loved it!! Really interesting grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #15848: Cleverly thought out but i didn't manage to get the connections - probably a bit too specific for me but i'd imagine others will really enjoy it, well done (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #15834: Spelling is atrocious and as a result got two connections wrong. Maybe spend a bit of time proof reading prior to uploading (5 years, 9 months ago)

andy @ #17499: I had all the connections right, recognised three but none of my answers were accepted but they came back as incorrect and one explanation doesnt show the link ! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Rossco442 @ #17491: I created this grid, however there is an error. I'm sorry. Budd should be Madden. I am going to create a new one with the correct info. You can delete this one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TwixxedFlax @ #17503: Nice board. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17501: VERY GOOD (5 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #17487: Very festive. Loved the anagrams - so obvious when I saw them. Merry Christmas. (5 years, 9 months ago)

DH @ #17494: Very hard but very clever. Nice One (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17492: I put "main characters in childrens' books", but no good. Apart from that, grid is fine (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kezmicdust @ #17498: Erm... it didn’t accept Manchester United for that set, nor did it accept superheroes (note the spelling!) for that set! You might want to fix that! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kezmicdust @ #5795: Should accept residential buildings for that set. Otherwise, lovely wall. (5 years, 9 months ago)

burt @ #17502: Quite apart from the fact that your spelling is dire this is the worst grid I have ever attempted (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17502: This is the worst grid in the entire site, and probably in the entire world (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17417: Solved it and got the links but was disappointed not to get the point for parts of a string instrument as the words are not particular to a guitar. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17454: Got all the groups, but felt answers were too rigid. Agree about children’s books. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17456: I thought the names/ counties link was clear, as was the royal family link. Liked the grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17469: In UK English, it’s pretence. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17494: Nice grid, just about managed to solve it but it was a tough one! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17493: Very easy, no real red herrings. Not sure the 'In' category works really; it's a bit too broad. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17497: It's Scrimgeour, not Scrimouger - and you also need to expand the terms you accept as answers. For example, should probably accept 'quiz' as well as 'game' shows and it should accept 'letters' for the Why group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17492: What is the charlie link? kids in literature? - doesn't say (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17493: Agree, that one doesn't work. Rest is OK (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17493: Generally very easy. 'You can be in them' category a bit strange! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17492: I put 'heroes in children's literature', which is surely true? Just listing titles isn't a connection! Otherwise straightforward. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17450: Excellent grid - managed to get 10/10 in the end but had to think very hard. Really good red herrings! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17478: Should accept 'shops no longer trading'. Don't get OK line. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17454: Too many alternative correct connections. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17477: They’re posts not sticks. Agree with hooverdam (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17489: Clever! Only 1 POINT for me😑 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Daniel @ #17483: learn to spell (5 years, 9 months ago)

Danny @ #17483: Utter rubbish. Is someone trying to sabotage this site? Can any tosser put a grid up? Is there no Muppet filter? (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #6232: not accepting john, and in the UK it's supergran. Thanks for the grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Danny @ #17485: Not good. Chocolate bars not accepted, can't spell chocolate (choclate). Gold is not a rare stone. Names is just weak as a category . (5 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #17485: It's a wind up surely (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17472: Straight lines is a bit tenuous - liked the same letter group - and yes 90210 - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

dave @ #17485: Surely this is a joke? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17477: Don't buy sticks - (palindromes are more than 'half' to be pedantic). (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #6206: wheel configurations? My mind has been opened even further, thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Gavin (is that a nice one?) @ #17485: nice names??? Wtf? You bellend. Gold nah nah. It's chocolate, try spell check or stay in school and leave the drugs alone you wanker (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17483: Are we missing something on the dodgy spelling? It's easy to check spelling online - think we are being played a bit (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17485: summed up below (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17487: excellent seasonal grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17466: Tom - that is a fair comment (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jodie @ #17483: Spelling not great, sorry (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #17478: Numbers among the most enjoyable references to brown sauce ever committed to puzz. Herrings drier than Hampton's mid-morning sherry. (5 years, 9 months ago)

M @ #17482: Learn to spell ! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17487: Ho ho ho :-) I quite like 'Starchier stem' (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17478: Nice theme. Didn't really like a couple of the lines, and it felt a bit like you forced it with the reindeer names, but hey it's Christmas, have a 5 star rating haha. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sy Clone @ #17487: A lovely grid, made me all warm inside (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17466: Clever stuff (tho I disliked col, as for the rest of that group the suffix is a separate word.) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #17482: Unbelievable spelling, I can understand the odd mistake but this was truly awful (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jon @ #17485: Not great tbh. Gold is not a stone. Nice names not good enough, just means names . (5 years, 9 months ago)

Phil @ #17482: What a load of cobblers (5 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #17479: too personal for public use (5 years, 9 months ago)

davie @ #17271: too hard for medium, get a grip. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #17482: An awful lot of spelling mistakes. (5 years, 9 months ago)

ph @ #17485: dont think gold is a stone - it might be a metal (5 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #17487: a good seasonal grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Els @ #17482: taking the Pi55 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17462: I’ll just repeat what they said! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17458: Far too many possibles. Not good I’m afraid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Phillips @ #17280: It was very nice well done my score 20000/20000 (5 years, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #17482: Your spelling is shocking! (5 years, 9 months ago)

trixflax @ #17484: terrible (5 years, 9 months ago)

CJ @ #17485: "Nice names" is rather arbitrary, and chocolate is incorrectly spelled so that nobody can get the answer right. (5 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #17450: I'd never heard of resurrection pie, but now it's on the menu for this week. Thanks for the nice grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

The Truth @ #17484: Oh dear... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Krystoff @ #17450: Nice work (5 years, 9 months ago)

Phillips @ #17482: I was very good ❤️💛💚💙💜 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hooverdam @ #17477: All a bit tenuous and smart Alec to be any fun (5 years, 9 months ago)

Scrooge @ #17472: Bah! Sorry out that error. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mimi @ #17454: children's book titles not good enough? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Loz @ #17470: Nice job man (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #17430: Great grid, enough links to make it interesting (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lyndon @ #17477: A BIT VAGUE - TOO MUCH GUESSWORK (5 years, 9 months ago)

JP @ #17472: 90201 should be 90210 (5 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #17477: Apologies, I have missed quite a vital key word out for one of the groups! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #17456: as per giggsy comment (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ian UK @ #17323: 10/10 for the first time in ages on a hard grid, liking the cross over clues and 80's singers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Timothy @ #17430: Good mix of categories (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17462: So good they named it twice? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17416: I'm sorry you feel like that Tenomt but when a group are all in capital letters and none of the others are, without even looking any further one would try them as a group. That makes the grid flawed. It's not a grammar issue at all. As for the Royal link you do highlight a problem. Played live, the host could say, "I need something more specific" but on here you can't. I've found it best to give the point for the easy way to express a link and then in the notes just say, "Have a bonus point if you also spotted...." Now put your bat and ball down and stay and play. :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17466: Difficult, but not impossible! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17469: Hard. Not really familiar with the word "snow slide". (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #17444: Oops- other way round of course! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #17444: Apologies, accepted in plural, but not singular. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17470: Very good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

TENOMT @ #17416: They are not royals they are reservoirs. The hard part was in it's connection, not the obvious. And capitals is a caps lock error hardly punctuation police territory. Don't worry wont submit anymore, its like performing for Waldorf and Statler. Jeez people get a life. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17465: Ah that's probably true. I guess I could have included that in my acceptable answers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

garbage quiz @ #16838: shit quiz should have accepted "programming languages". kys (5 years, 9 months ago)

not as picky as you @ #16914: omitted hyphens should not constitute a wrong answer! (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17465: The moons were all people in Greek mythology (5 years, 9 months ago)

Rabbit Luke @ #17471: Not bad, but maybe work a bit on your linking terms. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17389: Agree with those below. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17389: Agree with those below. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jombom @ #17470: Nice semi-Christmassy grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17387: Far too US centric for us Brits. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17470: good grid - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17433: excellent - managed 6 too (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17444: Didn't accept anagrams.... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17450: Excellent - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17456: Essex group did not suggest counties was the link - I did not understand the royal group - what was the link? Garden group was vague to me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17465: nice grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

scrooge @ #17456: Good grid. Two Abbeys there I didn't know. I am very bad at royals but even I had heard of Meghan Markle. (5 years, 9 months ago)

scrooge @ #17465: Nice. Had not heard of an isohel (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sue @ #17456: Tricky...I.got 2 groups. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17462: Virginia Virginia (5 years, 9 months ago)

Donald Trump @ #583: but a remote usually has a 'record' button as well (5 years, 9 months ago)

person @ #17358: the homophone group is wrong - you've put 'chi' instead of 'psi' (not that I would pronounce 'psi' like 'sigh' anyway) (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #17389: Answered pizza toppings, colours, gorges/canyons ALL INCORRECT !!!! COME ON !! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17438: Nice grid. I recognised a number of the race winners straight away but couldn't hit the right combo until it was too late. Not only RR and BN but Lochnagar and Oh So Sharp confused the issue because they are or were in the same business. Only suggestion would be consistent use of capital letters for the second word. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17450: Brilliant! I had started drafting a disturbingly similar grid but think this was better than mine was turning out anyway 😁 I did manage to get 10/10 though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17450: Good grid! Enjoyed this one, Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17454: Hmmm, difficult to be precise enough with the answer to the book titles, but otherwise good. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17458: Difficult for me. I didn't get any correct! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Marg @ #14273: Cats don’t usually growl! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Peachy @ #17438: Liked this a lot. Good variety and made a welcome change from football. Must have taken a while to find The Saddle. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17438: Sorry you didnt like it. Clearly not a racing fan - horses ? These werent just horses. These are legends, heroes and legends 😁 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ade @ #17435: Lovely grid 10/10. Must be my era (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17450: Fairy straightforward, good fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Author of the Grid @ #17281: Since this question was written in the UK, 'hockey' refers to field hockey. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17445: Nice grid. Some tricky elements to it. I liked the creativity of the Bell like, even though that was the only bit I lost a point on. Cheers mate. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17358: Not sure why there's this new trend of trying to do a grid that stands out from the norm. Original is the new unoriginal. Very tough, scored 1/10. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17388: Some nice connections, tricky though, and accepted words need work (marked wrong for the Ranch line after giving the answer almost word-for-word with what you wrote). Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17389: Same as below. Nice enough grid, but needs more work with the accepted terms (separate them with commas). (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17362: Good grid, nice to have an easy one in the middle of all the tough ones lately. Cheers mate. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17364: Decent enough grid, some classic elements. Superheroes becoming a bit overused these days! Haha. Scored 5/10. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17440: it's not about having more knowledge, it's about having different knowledge. any one of the iranian cities is probably of greater overall significance to the world than, say, the minutiae of london's traffic networks, which seems to appear quite often on this site. i know absolutely nothing about movies myself, but there's definitely a select bunch of answers that look like western surnames, to at least get the first round point by trial and error, and i'm under the impression that al pacino's characters are famous enough to not be too difficult to guess for the second round. the other two categories are very tough for the first round, sure. i'm not here to give everyone ten points for showing up. some strong deduction and probably a little luck is required for those. in the second round, though, while they're still not easy, they're not impossible. you only need to have heard of one of the gibbons to figure that one out, and i gave generous options for keywords - gibbon, ape, or just primate will do. i'd like to think that there are more than a few people around who know what a siamang is. brazilian chevrolets sounds like an extraordinarily specific category, but again i've given a lot of soft keyword options - one might reasonably surmise that they sound like car names, and indeed just putting 'car' will get you the point for that one. is the grid hard? absolutely. but i don't think it's unreasonable for a community of people who seek out quizzes for fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17367: Tough. Some very obscure links here. Scored 3/10. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17370: Good grid with some classic overlaps, but not sure there's a unique solution. Cheers though, scored 6/10. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17443: Interesting mix of content, scored 3/10, tough one though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17430: Decent enough grid with some classic elements. Scored 10/10 in 32 seconds though, so a bit on the easy side. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17416: Thanks for the grid Teno. Maybe the flawed comment was regarding the use of capitals? Or maybe the first names group which, frankly, is nigh on feckin' impossible :)) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17416: A bit of a strange grid with two groups very easy to resolve and two groups very difficult. I was surprised to see that royals/monarchs was not accepted for the line of, erm, royals/monarchs. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17433: Cracking grid. Just couldn't get the Divine and Luck groups sorted out - perhaps there was more than one way of resolving it though. Scored 6/10. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17435: Lots of very difficult grids recently. Just 3/10 for me on this one, although I enjoyed the wide variety of subject matter here. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17440: One of the most difficult grids I've ever played. 0/10. I think you're overestimating us if you think this is an appropriate level at which to set them. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17438: Too difficult. I scored 0/10, but it would have been 1/10 if you would have accepted "horses" for the group that was, erm, horses. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17436: Never heard of the Parker line but it did make for good overlaps. 7/10 for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TENOMT @ #17416: What flaw it is hard, not impossible Your just throwing out negative comments. Put a grid up and be there to be criticized. (5 years, 9 months ago)

steve @ #368: having a category with exactly 4 possible answers makes it a little easy, but still very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17376: Very good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17380: Nice- easy, but nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17417: Fairly solvable, but nice grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Darto @ #17419: That was tough (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17324: Means of communicating not accepted for Forms of communication? And I think the poles follow the words rather than precede them (5 years, 9 months ago)

Castle @ #17294: Utter shambles, they are merely divided up into "Group A", "Group B" and so on, with no actual meaning behind any of it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17421: Should be 'Vulcan', not 'Vulcon'. And Syrah is a red wine, not a white one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17419: Noun/verb group not really specific enough for my liking. Otherwise a good grid though, very tricky. For a moment I thought one group referred specifically to the death of Rasputin... (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17430: Nice grid! Some good misleading red herrings. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17420: a, b, x, y, are also button names on xbox and nintendo controllers (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17419: God anagrams was superb, but the noun/verb group was too vague for me (5 years, 9 months ago)

paulayres @ #17419: Greek god anagrams - that was tough! (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17421: Vulcon? (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17417: got 10/10, but felt like i had to work for it - perfect balance imo (5 years, 9 months ago)

paulayres @ #17417: thanks, enjoyed this one... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Bob Pringle @ #17421: syrah is a white wine, is it? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17417: Enjoyable quite easy grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

DJG @ #17386: this isn't your work - they have been on the TV programme (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17383: Not quite sure about the X group ... the definition doesn't quite work for me. Otherwise a good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17417: Nice grid! And yes, although I did manage to solve it there were plenty of red herrings, so agree it's more Medium than Easy. Enjoyed this one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

John 2 @ #17424: Absolutely amazing! So creative! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17421: Well I spent 3 minutes roman around various wines until I got 2 groups in the last 10 seconds! Good grid but harsh. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #15067: This grid is great - groups everybody has heard of but sorting it out can be tricky. I got 10/10 but only just. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17383: Liked this one a lot. Solved the grid but then only got 2 of the groups correct - think I solved it by accident! Having said that, I put "Mathematical terms" for Plus, X group and I think that fits so I'm giving myself an extra point... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17417: Didn't mean to put Easy on this one - probably more Medium. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #17377: Hard (5 years, 9 months ago)

LGG @ #17416: flawed (5 years, 9 months ago)

BwB @ #14801: Limewater? 🤔 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17384: Can swap tape with camera. Or with the other tape... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17380: Chess pieces yes... but this was new to me too. Rest of the grid felt a bit disconnected (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17386: A classic grid, simple but fun. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mouse (D.P) @ #17375: Only solved thanks to the Two Ronnie's. Laughing out loud. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17389: I got 3 out of 4 correct but my answers, though right, were not accepted. Rather disappointed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17397: Unfortunately Scream is misspelled. Otherwise it's a pretty good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17390: Nice variety in the grid, something for everyone, but I didn't enjoy the Daisy line personally, seemed very strange and obscure compared to the rest of the grid. Cheers though, scored 6/10. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17394: all the double letter states are also states with names derived from native languages, which since another category was states with names derived from royalty, is a likely line of thinking (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17324: Lots of classic themes here. Got a bit distracted half way through so only scored 6/10 but should have had 10/10 really. Cheers mate. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17397: Had a bit of a problem with the Yell group, as one of the clues was incorrectly typed, and it didn't accept "synonyms for shout" when that was exactly the connection. Apart from that, a fairly good grid with nice variety. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17357: I don't understand the Pound group description at all. Stopped me from getting 10/10. Oh well. And yes agree with other comments about no crossovers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17376: Great grid. I struggled to identify connections, but then got them all when they were revealed/sorted for me. Cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #17386: I agree with the previous comments about the Terminate line. Also, Ping Pong (or Table tennis) is not racquet sport and so I avoided using that word and then didn't get the point. A couple of minor tweaks and it would be an excellent grid!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nb @ #17354: Nice try but the solution is not unique, for example swan and plough can swap groups (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17385: good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17394: Fun theme (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17395: Can precede the word or be followed by it - not 'be preceded by' it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17380: I don't think it has, Jo, but lots of classic themes that have been used plenty of times in the past. Bed sizes always sticks out like a sore thumb. Cheers for grid nevertheless, scored a fairly swift 10/10. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17386: I would recommend accepting the word "synonym" for any line whereby the words are even at least loosely synonymous, so as not to frustrate people, as I was marked incorrect for the Terminate line. Decent grid otherwise, cheers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Melissa @ #17394: Nice! (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17386: 'fire' should really be an acceptable answer for the 'discharge' line (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #2758: Fantastic grid! Challenging & fun! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Upset @ #17389: The answers don't accept anything less than the exact wording you put in, which makes it near impossible to score in the second half. (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17358: 'symmetrical' should really be accepted for the theta line (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17359: Very nice - well thought out festive grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17376: Agree with haywood (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17375: Good idea, but too tenuous I fear (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17382: All been said (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17352: Very clever red herrings in this one! Love it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17382: I have to agree with the other commenters ... the 'thing' group is an incredibly tenuous, barely-there link and 'verse' isn't really a musical term, it's a lyrical one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

dlhdslh @ #17352: Great grid :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17369: Tricky! Interestingly varied. (5 years, 9 months ago)

sos @ #17375: Oh dear (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17380: Has this one not appeared before? (5 years, 9 months ago)

sos @ #17376: Enjoyable! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17382: Verse isn’t a musical term as such, and it’s stave, not staff. (5 years, 9 months ago)

TeaDrinker @ #17372: Hard to get the correctly spelt group from in the UK (5 years, 9 months ago)

sos @ #17382: Rubbish!!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #17382: Tenuous. (5 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #17358: I guess you think you're smart... (5 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #17376: good grid. johns line is too vague, though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17367: Good grid! Difficult but clever! Thank you. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #6201: This was challenging, but very enjoyable! Best one I've played so far! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #8199: Love this grid. A very nice challenge. Very close to Only Connect style. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #8884: Super bowl. Argghhh. Not a big sports fan. (5 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #17369: Tricky stuff. Liked the 5 vowels one. Greek letters perhaps a shade on the obscure side, apart from the slip of the keyboard re eta and chi pointed out below. Good stuff though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #17355: nice grid, got 7/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzled @ #17357: Ceaser should be Caesar. Baffled by the homonyms (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lesley @ #17376: Good grid. Definitely 'get'-able but challenging (5 years, 9 months ago)

TT @ #17370: Unfortunately I don't even know what Quark is... (5 years, 9 months ago)

TT @ #17367: A good puzzle - not too easy. Accepted 'conductors' in lieu of 'composers' - is that also correct? (5 years, 9 months ago)

TT @ #17365: Agree with JS - I put the word 'intelligent' in and it was not accepted (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17367: Your description of the composers misspelled "obscure" :-) Good grid though, just much too tough for me This morning (5 years, 9 months ago)

Dottie @ #17357: Should be “roses” rather than “rose” (5 years, 9 months ago)

bg @ #17369: the explanation for hidden greek letters says 'eta' when it should say 'chi' (5 years, 9 months ago)

perrya @ #17281: hockey pucks are not spheres (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17267: I put animal head parts for the nose group which should be equally acceptable so have myself the point anyway. (5 years, 9 months ago)

x @ #17361: skye spelt wrong (5 years, 9 months ago)

asdfgas @ #17352: Like the famous Harry's and poet rows, really confused me with the England footballers surnames, good red herrings, nice grid, thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggs @ #17362: quick solve (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17365: Could do with some more red herrings I think - also, maybe accept some more similar adjectives as acceptable answers for your 'learned' group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #630: I vaguely remember from my uni course that the frigate bird has a very special way to attract a mate. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17318: Definitely festive and some nice ideas. Perhaps falls down on having 9 examples of one of your links meaning there are too many viable answers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Els @ #17318: Garbage (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggs @ #17360: Tough but fair (5 years, 9 months ago)

whattuheck @ #17365: Not being British made this very difficult for me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #16043: not your best (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #16044: Amazing board, great stuff Traut mann (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17318: Like the ideas, but don't know why 'types of plant' for the first category wasn't accepted. The given answer very unlikely to be guessed! (5 years, 9 months ago)

cazza @ #630: well - what's a frigate bird?? (5 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #17365: A satisfying grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lw @ #17369: V tough but achievable. Red herrings got me!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Linda M @ #17366: Fantastic. I love Only connect (5 years, 9 months ago)

Angie T @ #17357: I understood the homonyms group. Maybe could have improved the grid with some red herrings. Thanks Rosie :-) (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17357: I am baffled by the homonym group (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #15871: Nice simple grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #17361: weird - I solved the grid, but none of my connections was correct! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #696: I put in; start with P and end with E for the Pete group. Didn't know what a compère was. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #12437: Love the ghosts! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #1110: Thank you for a good grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lw @ #17317: Bit too clever for its own good. Not satisfying. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17330: Excellent. (5 years, 9 months ago)

alicoo @ #17201: specific color ?? don't be ridiculous ! (colour) (5 years, 9 months ago)

Peachy @ #17232: I enjoyed this. Typo on cheshire tho (5 years, 9 months ago)

whattuheck @ #17330: Awesome! I got 7, only didn't guess the category right for the Bo & Luke category, probably because I'm not American but still this was a great board. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Julie @ #11973: Nice puzzle (5 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #17329: Could swap "pool" and "coffee" and still have a solution, so this is not a valid grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Julie @ #1396: Ambiguous if you don't get two sets- good mix of types of groups (5 years, 9 months ago)

Tool @ #17329: Way many option for one grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #14746: Not a grid for me, this one - too many connections of a similar type for me, and not a type that really appeals. It's clever, but I do agree with the other comments about the 'Flake' group, it's just a step too far. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #17351: Nice one! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17324: Liked this grid, spotted the groups but took me ages to work out what the red herrings were for each one. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17330: Didn't get the connection for the Loki group as it's something I know almost nothing about, but really liked this grid and strangely somehow saw the Kilgrave group straight away. V clever. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17333: I did find this one easy but that might have been because of the positioning of the items in the grid when I played it which made one group jump out straight away! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grimaldi @ #17351: Great grid! Lots of red herrings and although I could see the themes for for the last two groups were I couldn't quite pick the right things in time. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Sid @ #17351: nice (5 years, 9 months ago)

Peachy @ #17277: Fun once I got started. Interesting grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #14746: Lake one ridiculous. Way too obscure. Otherwise good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Turkey @ #17330: The "Kilgrave etc." line wasn't remotely obvious at any point to me. Probably the most tenuous connection I've ever seen in one of these. (5 years, 9 months ago)

zac tudor @ #17307: too easy (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17325: I agree the missing letters is too harsh if not the same letter. Also, I actually think water goes with the life group although I admit that life is a better fit. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17326: Very nice and enjoyable - couldn't get the final 2 groups without losing my lives then got 3 groups so 5/10 overall. Not bad I think as I would have never got the surfing category. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17330: Another good one - only managed to get one group but 3 more on the guesses once grid resolved. Loved the Kilgrave etc. line as it was so obvious once I saw them together. Wondering if there were any more red herrings that I can't spot! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17333: I would say that was easy level - not very easy. I got 10/10 in 33 seconds but there were still some crossovers but groups were quite obvious. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17320: Good stuff, thanks for setting (5 years, 9 months ago)

Val Crow @ #17333: Good grid, well done. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17325: ... and that sort of group really needs a consistent missing letter usually (5 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #17333: Was easy enough but still a good enjoyable grid :) (5 years, 9 months ago)

nizlamb @ #17333: Sorry I forgot to set the difficulty level? Although it may well be Very Easy, first I've submitted (5 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #17325: enjoyed this, but unless your from Beer in Devon would have struggled (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jeffy2 @ #17321: Hi make no more stuip one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jeffy2 @ #17328: Hi (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jeffy2 @ #17328: Stupid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pretty girl @ #17327: Jenny you are a idout (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jenny @ #17327: This grid was easy and next time please check your spelling otherwis good (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pretty girl @ #17327: This is cool (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pretty girl @ #17328: This is god dam hard next time make it easy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Pretty girl @ #17328: This is god dam hard next time make it easy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #17318: Hmmmm.......... Didn't quite work but some nice ideas. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #17320: Missed the silent film stars connection, but a really enjoyable grid with good crossovers. (5 years, 9 months ago)

G. @ #17318: [SPOILERS] Though the distinction between them was clear, having two categories composed of plants seems... odd. Unfitting. Both sets involving "Christmas" is a little less of an issue, I guess because there's leeway in wordplay for getting cute. Festive, though! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17314: Yep very good - saw all 4 groups by the end but only had time to actually get 1 group. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17324: Fairly easy but good grid, nicely put together. I got all 4 groups pretty quickly but not the link on the wordy one so 7/10 for me. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #3608: Great grid! There were a lot of fun connections there. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mappy @ #8619: Fantastic grid! I had lots of fun solving it! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #8000: Blue's grids are always very enjoyable! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17250: Neither former high street stores or fictional archers were accepted but ok otherwise (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17317: Liked the look of it. Two fairly gettable with a bit of thought. Two impossibly obscure to my mind. Could have gone a bit more general across the board and still been a stiff challenge. A game of two halves. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17309: I wrote this board and I am definitely British!! (5 years, 9 months ago)

JS @ #17300: Great grid - I spotted the potential groups straight away but sooooo many red herrings made it really challenging! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Koptaman @ #16749: Good grid other than the Blackadder because was also titles, so no need to think further and technically correct. (5 years, 9 months ago)

nonsuch @ #8625: Doesn't accept 'King's, with an apostrophe (5 years, 9 months ago)

haywood @ #17307: EPLSqueezy 10/10 (5 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #16957: it didn't like country but probably would have said yes to countries. not too easy but not too difficult (5 years, 9 months ago)

Liz @ #17309: Should be made clear if a board is compiled by US source as some connections are too local (5 years, 9 months ago)

yes @ #5344: yes (5 years, 9 months ago)

TENOMT @ #17297: Its rated as a hard grid, and so may I suggest you try medium level or easy. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Rantos @ #17285: Poor proofreading. My apologies. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ben @ #17307: Crown and supreme are interchangeable (both chicken/court). (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17297: First names are always a bit too vague as there are probably hundreds of groups of people which include 4 common names such as John, George etc. so very difficult and a bit infuriating. I think for future grids, try using more of a variety of categories so one group could be first names but other groups should be completely different. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #17307: Fun grid, though I lost points for saying “inebriated” instead of intoxicated. That should probably be allowed. (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17242: Very difficult but fair. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lal @ #5633: Great (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lal @ #368: Good one (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17287: Agree with Jim - thought it would be possible but got those two so 4/10. I guessed post codes for the last one but didn't know where they were! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17308: Great ideas on this grid but I think the cereals link is a bit tenuous - I got 4/10 overall, only getting one group but then seeing the 3 other connections. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17307: Very enjoyable grid and got stuck on the red herrings for a while but managed to get through it and 10/10 in the end. (5 years, 9 months ago)

M @ #17271: At last, got a full house! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ted @ #17283: Nice tidy no nonsense grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #17291: It's not the same part, sure - they all aren't, but why shouldn't it work? (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17292: It has to be all lower case to make one group work at all (and for red herring) and I liked the mislead on another . Deliberately incorrect case and punctuation was a cute device I thought. Quite crossword-ish. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BwB @ #15724: 👍 for the Goth theme (5 years, 9 months ago)

CM @ #17296: Alright. Win would have been better chosen (and gets the points). (5 years, 9 months ago)

Porridge @ #14671: Very original and fun thanks. (5 years, 9 months ago)

BwB @ #15739: 10/10 😀 Only to be expected with a Fab Four theme 👍 (5 years, 9 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17097: I liked it, Young Hope. Thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

Lovely stuff @ #17267: Lovely stuff. Great grid. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17283: Good grid, got 10/10 even with all the red herrings though the seal etc. group was very familiar! Might be coincidence but I used the exact same group a few days ago... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17292: Strangely formatted with full lower case letters, looked a bit scruffy to be honest. Some good links though. (5 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #17118: Should accept "celestial bodies" for "things in space" (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17290: Nice - quite easy. Not too many crossovers. Had not heard of Twelve... (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17279: Very nice - thanks (5 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #17225: The Whig group is very clever, especially considering the crossover. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17281: Or did it. Phones... (5 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #4517: This is not a valid grid since "Gap" and "Cut" can be swapped between their respective categories. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #17287: Ace! Felt very clever to get the girls names and the shops. Had no idea about the other 2, but still enjoyed it a lot. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Nicetea @ #8541: I put down 'Eer' but was marked wrong. :( (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #17270: fair test (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17280: I don't see the harm in making them public tbh, given the setter name (5 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17281: Even grids for kids should have crossovers?... ( it did it ?) (5 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #17281: Should accept "surfaces" for the 3d shapes category (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #98: fine grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #2297: n (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #1396: Good test (5 years, 9 months ago)

TENOMT @ #17281: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #8403: good clues (5 years, 9 months ago)

Z @ #17285: two of the same word is a serious no go - inputting the correct group with the wrong partridge doesn't get accepted. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17279: Good grid (5 years, 9 months ago)

Aetees @ #17283: Excellent grid. Nice and varied with good crossovers. Not too hard. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Wadey @ #17283: Nice grid, much enjoyed (5 years, 9 months ago)

Author of this grid @ #17280: I did see the button but made it public to see if others would appreciate really easy grids kids can do. I'm planning to get mine into these grids via easy ones. If I make make more, they'll be private. (5 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #17283: a good grid ,well done (5 years, 9 months ago)

Busker @ #184: complete puzzle (5 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #17280: Was this meant to be public? If it's for a small group of people to be shared locally, there's an option to make a grid private (i.e. so it doesn't show up on the homepage, but can still be linked to send to others to play). Not that I'm complaining - 10/10 in 12 seconds is a nice change from all the other difficult grids. (5 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #17272: Nice grid! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17269: Very difficult. But clever. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17266: Difficult, particularly the lengths and drugs groups. Thank you! (5 years, 9 months ago)

Author @ #17280: I just tried this out and realised that you have to type 'Transformers' (plural). 'Transformer' is not accepted. Sorry! Note to self: be more careful when writing grids (5 years, 9 months ago)

whattuheck @ #17267: It accepted 'ads' for the Quince category for some reason, not that I'm complaining (5 years, 9 months ago)

Grumpy @ #17075: I think quite sure about 'acoustic' and 'electric' might be interchangeable. Both are type of guitars, but there seems to be also an 'electric theory'. It has about half the hits on Google compared to 'acoustic theory', so it might be less common, but it does seem to exist. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Ted @ #17276: Good one! Chinese zodiac stumped me (5 years, 9 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17268: JP - yes it does work. Simple. Andy - I know, it was just a bit of fun, not meant to be taken too seriously (5 years, 9 months ago)

claire @ #13420: for the first grid I definitely knew they were body parts but did not know how to figure out what they meant by "find the link" & that was the first grid so I missed it. (5 years, 9 months ago)

Life Aquatic @ #17255: Wish I did better. Nice quiz. (5 years, 10 months ago)

cant C @ #14868: add "can't see" for blind category (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17248: Fish wasn't accepted but fishes is the given answer. Fishes is a present particip!e of the verb to fish. The plural of fish is fish! Also the belt group hold clothes up not just trousers as suspenders can hold up socks or stockings as well. (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #17256: Good grid but really hard. I just got the Slipper category (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17068: A fun challenge. Thank you (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #17253: Great grid, got 10/10. Enjoyed it very much. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17260: Got 10/10 without really knowing two of the groups, so a bit generous with the linking terms perhaps. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17264: Liked it. Theme makes for an easy solve in the end, but there were a couple in there that made me think it was all a big red herring. Nearly double-bluffed myself. (5 years, 10 months ago)

knife @ #17267: Excellent. Clever red herrings, all the better for being plausible and guessable, which isn't always the case with these grids (5 years, 10 months ago)

knife @ #17260: Not bad, though I'm not sure why the deities were specified without the final s. I think it would have been just as tricky if the names had been given in full, but maybe I'm missing something. (5 years, 10 months ago)

knife @ #17236: Too vague and tenuous, made it difficult but not entertaining (5 years, 10 months ago)

JP @ #17268: These are not grouped by connection. It doesn't work, sorry. (5 years, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #651: liked this (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17266: Clever but hard. Cheers for setting. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17268: A clever grid I suppose, and something a bit different, but not for me, sorry. Call me boring :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

val @ #17260: good wookout (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tobius Bird @ #17086: What is a roblox? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tobie Bird @ #17086: This is a bad grid and you should feel bad (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17260: Nice groups - thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #1396: Great grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #1396: Great grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #17262: Blenheim (5 years, 10 months ago)

Nicetea @ #11262: Interesting grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Nicetea @ #5795: Wish 'snacks' was accepted for the crisps group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jon @ #17260: EXCLLENT (5 years, 10 months ago)

big g @ #4494: I put currency doh why wasnt that right (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17253: Very hard, didn't get any! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17223: Loved the shadow group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17254: Very hard. Only got one group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17256: Good grid, but too hard for my brain! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17260: Good grid, enjoyed it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17261: Clever grid, only got one group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #5633: Very nice! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17227: Good grid, enjoyed it 😁 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #5666: Rather an odd description for the football one. A nice grid otherwise. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Katie @ #17237: bet u can't turn me on (5 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #17253: top quality and pretty hard too (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lyndon @ #17257: no logic - pure guesswork not heard of half of the sayings !!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wadey @ #17250: Nice grid - agree archers should be accepted but the rest was really good. Hands up who else tried to find Reindeer first? (5 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #17252: nio (5 years, 10 months ago)

big g @ #12: what was wrong about websites to separate them is out of date spelling. A few editorially conservative publications still use the two-word Web site, but this relic of the 1990's has fallen out of favor throughout the English-speaking world. The one-word, uncapitalized website now prevails by an overwhelming margin. (5 years, 10 months ago)

busker @ #583: good puzzle (5 years, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #709: sorry, thought the rhyming slang was stupidly obscure. bet no-one got it.... or maybe i'm not too bright...…! (5 years, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #710: Jaffa cakes are definitely biscuits! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Nicetea @ #4359: Fagin threw me off track. Nice grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Nicetea @ #12138: Nice grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17246: Good one - managed 10 - enjoyed verb and also circus groups. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17247: Really struggled there and scored 2/10. Disappointed as I'm usually strong on the connections that are just linking words. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17253: I did poorly with this but then I always struggle when a certain series is involved. Well constructed grid though with a herring for every group (just the ropey plural away from perfection) but worth the 5 stars from me. Thank you Muggy (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17251: Agree with LB. Some of the elements of the grid and the comments make it seem like this was meant to be ticked as a private grid between 12-16 year old students. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17246: Decent enough grid. I enjoyed the Circus line. Scored 5/10. Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17253: Good grid. Scored 7/10 after not being able to say what the House line was. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17252: Came to say exactly the same as Mugwump. The Brazil line seemed a bit incongruously difficult compared to the rest, and I can't see what it overlaps with, even after googling. Cheers though! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17254: When I clicked to do this grid, the rating was three stars and fiendish. I don't know who was voting that way, but they must be insane. That was really good fun, and I managed a moral 10/10 (typo on one answer gave me 7/10). Cheers! (5 years, 10 months ago)

BILL NYE @ #3454: PLUTO IS NOT A PLANET (5 years, 10 months ago)

KNOBBY @ #17249: OK ENJOYABLE (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17233: Think the film group is too specific in its answer without Victoria there to say she wants a bit more. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17217: I would have scored 10/10 if it hadn't been so specific to bytes as they are the names of any powers of the as pointed out below. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17243: Sorry - I did put Cape as the only correct answer so not sure why it was not accepted. Also, vegetables is not the correct answer for this group - plus Gourd is not a veg but a fruit. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17201: Agree with the comments below. Colours and mammals should be accepted. (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17046: Challenging. Shame about the typo: it should be nickel, no? (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17247: Hard, but no obscurities. Liked it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17252: Last etc. eluded me even after hearing it a hundred flaming times today. I doubt Father is on shop any playlist and I'm glad to be reminded of it, so thanks for that and a nice grid to boot. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17250: Some nice groups. Obvious, but nice. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17186: The German one has a significant misspelling. I don't know the others well enough to comment. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17167: Oh good! My dog found the chainsaw! (5 years, 10 months ago)

LB @ #17251: Why do people have to be rude? I didn't particularly like this grid, but don't need to swear about it! (5 years, 10 months ago)

HJ @ #17250: I think 'archers' should be accepted for the fictional characters! (5 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #17250: Nice grid. no crossovers other than reindeer names so easy to solve but I enjoyed it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #17251: What a waste of 3 mins. Who the f**k is Harry Dotters, and how the he'll am I supposed to know the names of your teachers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17242: 1/10 for me to but it was such a good grid as I should have known all of it! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17252: Good grid, I solved it pretty quickly, quicker than I was expecting. However lack of knowledge on the Brazil etc. line let me down so 7/10 for me. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17240: 6/10 - I actually got the burst one quite quickly and struggled with the ships! I think burst is correct as I don't think you can say blow a blood vessel or pop a tire, but I may be wrong! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17249: Not bad but not as enjoyable when all the links are wordy ones and not other categories and some of the links feel a bit forced. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17250: Nice grid - thought I had them all but didn't actually see the connection between the fictional characters - obvious when you think about it though!!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #17248: Not bad grid - although very easy even with some nice crossovers. I can't help but think you could have thought of something else to go with belt etc. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #17248: Isn't holding trousers up the same as keeping them from falling down? Both answers should be accepted. (5 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #4772: This is an invalid grid. You can swap any of the "shirts" with golf to get an alternate solution. (5 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #17251: Teschers? Also, Spider-Man, not Spiderman (5 years, 10 months ago)

dawood zaman @ #17251: very interesting but not up to my intellect (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17242: Very clever- had me guessing rather than solving. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17243: Good grid, but solutions needed to be a little broader. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17244: Great gridding. (5 years, 10 months ago)

TJB @ #12432: Great grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17245: Lovely stuff, thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #17241: Sort of annoying that it didnt accept make up without the hyphen. (5 years, 10 months ago)

TJB @ #17209: Thanks for the feedback - clear and constructive! Today I learned - the Japanese photography company Canon does not spell cannon correctly. Duly noted! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17242: Ingenious, but somehow unenticing! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17243: The groups are easy to find, though not necessarily for the answers given! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17245: Very nice! (5 years, 10 months ago)

big g @ #5267: great (5 years, 10 months ago)

Bloo @ #17243: Cape is not being accepted as an answer even though when you check it it says the answer is Cape/ (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mimi @ #187: I agree with Frank. And Chekhov is spelt Chekhov - the Star Trek guy is Checkov (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mimi @ #17243: So 'vegetables' doesn't count as a correct answer??? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17237: A bit unorthodox in terms of its connections, and as such, I only scored 1/10. Cheers though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17236: Strange grid with tenuous links and I didn't really enjoy it, sorry. That's not to say that other people won't, though. I scored 1/10. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17238: Difficult grid. The Plymouth line was quite nice, a bit gutted I didn't see that, but I'd kind-of given up on the grid at that point because the rest was so obscure and strangely constructed (in my opinion, at least). Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17241: A bit of a strange grid, in that I got all the groups sorted, but then didn't score any bonus points for my offerings in the group identification. I don't think I've ever done that before. My detailed feedback: - It didn't accept "make up" because you wanted "make-up" with the hyphen. - It didn't accept "parts of a tent" for the parts of a tent ... I'm somewhat confused by what you mean by "structural elements". - For Ball, Bolt, etc, I went for "lightning", and this was given as wrong. I suppose that's fair as it only matched three of the clues. Dungeons and Dragons is very niché and I was never getting that. - The Cyclops line had some very obscure parts to it but I suppose was gettable. Cheers anyway. Looking forward to your future grids if you leave out the very obscure lines :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17143: Enjoyed that, scored 7/10 after not being able to identify the Cross group, said Bun but that was not what you were after (and didn't fit with Crow anyway). Cheers for the grid. Really enjoyed the Pocket line. It's not often I give 5 stars! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #120: I think "faucet" should have accepted "tap". (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17240: I think, in addition to the suggestion below, that Blow is also an acceptable answer. Struggled with this one and only scored 3/10. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17242: Wow very difficult. I scored 1/10, mainly thanks to a few terms I've never heard of in this context, so the red herrings ruined me. That's probably on me though and not you. Cheers! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17243: A really nice grid but I was marked wrong on two things I was actually correct on. I'm not really too bothered but this might annoy some people. Cheers! (5 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #17240: Should accept 'pop' for 'burst' (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17226: Man - you guys are good!! Have to say I missed the P link. Brilliant. (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #17120: I really enjoyed this one. Thank you (5 years, 10 months ago)

Pamela @ #16824: I'm with you James (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mascari @ #17242: Love it! Loads of red herrings, really like bowl. I thought the leaf row was about the parts of a sword but that still helped me guess it. Think China should have been allowed for Crockery. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mascari @ #17240: Pretty good, not difficult but I think the burst did take me a while to get. Think that first row should allow Reality TV as an answer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #14056: You had me going with the red herrings and of course that last group got me :( (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #5983: (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #3361: I said "flower colors", but that was considered incorrect... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17238: Sorry Giggsy, you're gonna hate this one xd (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #11973: Misspelling on "woolen". Other than that, nice grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

bournemouth @ #17224: The gridmaker is right about ante and auntie being pronounced the same way. Mr Tom is wrong. Don't listen to anyone from the south of England when it comes to pronunciations. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #2184: I faltered on finding the last two groups. Once the grid was solved, finding the connections was much easier. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #8000: Yep, the last group kept me guessing. I suspected it, but didn't have the guts to give the correct answer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #13420: Nice grid. I learned some new words along the way :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #16838: Minus points for the fail on "programming languages". Other than that, nice groups. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #17190: I called the "materials" group "fabrics" which was not accepted as correct. Materials is too wide a name. Wood is a material too, but wouldn't fit in this particular group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #17194: Snails and worms are not insects. The sports are all ball sports, but not exclusively British or even all originating in Britain... I agree with JS (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #17213: Things you can sit on and things you can find in the kitchen were connections with not enough specificity. I had furniture and baking as the connections. If sitting was the word needed to be considered correct... (5 years, 10 months ago)

H @ #566: my favourite grid so far, thank you. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymousmagic @ #17234: The first three groups were quite easy. Then again, I am the sort of person who should know those connections. The last group threw me for a loop. 7 points for me... (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17235: Really liked this grid - some great red herrings! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17226: Brilliant as usual. But like Tom I spotted lots of connections for each group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #17227: Exactly as Mister Tom. Good fun though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17234: All fell quickly, but the Skint category, which I only got out by elimination gave me pause for thought. Took twice as long to solve as the rest together. I liked it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #13: Good grid, Thank you. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17234: Nice grid. The Bashing line was clever, I just didn't see it, and now feel very silly. Cheers mate. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17227: Week's was very good. Rest was ...Ok. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17120: GCSE biology? :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17216: Agree with the other comments - in a good grid, you'll understand the connection when it's revealed, even if you didn't spot it. But the vast majority of people are just going to shrug when they see one of yours - it's something most people haven't even heard of, let alone seen. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17227: And Eritea, Comoros, Ethiopia and I would imagine a hundred tropical birds. Far too vague. Oh and linking terms should really include the singular to be fair to solvers. I liked the days though, which I've not seen before. (5 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #17174: CLEVER af (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17233: Nice grid, I like this one! Not too hard but definitely enough of a challenge to be fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #17226: Wow! Daunting at first, but I managed two connections. Well done. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #17218: Couldn’t get jimmys because thought it was jiminy (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #17227: Solved grid, stumped on South Africa and days of the week, though once I knew the latter, I loved it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #17099: Although I felt the footballers connection was too niche and Adams and Beckham are the same Spice Girl, this is still a good grid. I particularly enjoyed the "Central" connection. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #17101: Really imaginative wall! You did a great job. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17226: Very nice... the flea group also has the property that you can replace the first letter with a P (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17195: Agree with CM. It's frustrating when an otherwise good grid has one group in it like that. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17217: Same as below comments. (5 years, 10 months ago)

knife @ #17217: Quite nifty, but it's terabyte, as already pointed out below. That's important, because terra has completely different connotations (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17224: Technically , pineapple is not 1 fruit but many. More to the point that is completely not how ante is pronounced. Rays or pony or Tern? (5 years, 10 months ago)

John P @ #583: enjoyed it, easy once Record was identified. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #7: Not heard of optical illusions, but clever grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17113: The informed group won't accept synonyms but otherwise I liked it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17190: Broadening your linking terms will make for a more satisfying solve, regardless of how easy. No fun to get a puzzle this easy half 'wrong'. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17195: I'd be amazed if anyone gets the songs other than setter. Otherwise good. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sam @ #17217: Thanks for the grid! As others have mentioned, the peta/tera/etc. line applies to essentially any unit of measurement though, not just bytes. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #4112: The airport one is pretty hard! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #4177: A tantalising grid! Could see what the groups were, but got lost in the crossovers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #4186: An interesting grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17186: Clever concept but although I knew the German words and got them right my answer wasn't acceptable. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17190: Got it easily but my (correct) answers didn't match accepted answers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17193: Got it pretty quickly and correctly but my answers didn't match exactly so I lost points! Grrr! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17195: The songs beat me! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17194: Snails and worms aren't insects, so that group doesn't work at all. You also need to make your answers less specific - not all the sports you've named are exclusively British and it doesn't accept 'games' or 'ball games'. And you need to accept 'phrases' or 'sayings' as well as idioms for the colours category. The grid is incredibly easy to solve as but your definitions really don't work at all. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17201: Not a good grid, unfortunately. The 'animals' group is incredibly vague, the colours group doesn't accept 'colours' as an answer, the 'flower' parts one doesn't accept 'plants' and there are no real red herrings at all. It's really easy to separate out the groups but then you've made it impossible to score for the connections. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17214: 'Hill' doesn't fit your definition for that group at all, unfortunately. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17218: I liked. Hard without being eye rolling. Only got the proverb out by elimination at the end and didn't get the link. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Reynardine @ #17217: I would personally have expected 'Normandy' to be a key word on the relevant grouping ^^; Beyond that, concurring with the SI Units point. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Hd @ #17218: Very good :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17216: I think the very best grids are the ones where you go "Ohhhh, of course" when you see the link. 3 of the links here could fall into that category - the 4th is more a "How, who and what the fck?" sort of reaction. Definitely one for someone with very (very) specific knowledge. Nothing wrong with that but there won't be many 10/10 scored here. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17210: Excellent gridding, well done. Very tough but entertaining. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #17217: Fun, but very easy. (5 years, 10 months ago)

CaptFarrell @ #17210: Thanks guys- my first grid so sorry if it’s a bit too difficult! @TennisTallulah- I think your comment might be meant for a different grid? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17218: Excellent, very hard! Only got one row😎 (5 years, 10 months ago)

TennisTallulah @ #17210: Would be better if ‘cannon’ was spelt correctly! Canon means something different - therefore difficult to make the connection... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Imaterrier @ #4321: Two vague categories otherwise good fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

Imaterrier @ #4321: Two categories vague, otherwise good fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Imaterrier @ #17194: Now I know what an idiom is! Didn’t know a snail was an insect though? Otherwise good fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17210: Good one. Very tough for non fans (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17214: A fine mess you got me into (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17217: Agree with Tom. Nice grid but extremely easy. It needs herrings and corssovers. I also agree with Tom that Peta, Tera, Mega and Giga are all SI unit prefixes donating scale in powers of ten. They can be applied to practically any unit, examples that commonly use them are Bytes, Bits, FLOPs and Hertz. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17216: Nice idea and overlaps: 1 group in particular was ridiculously obscure tho (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17217: Terra should be Tera and doesn't only relate to bytes. Also, I saw no overlaps between groups. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17203: If you read this first, do not waste your time (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17203: oh dear... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17209: Apart from sp of cannon a good grid. Stall group was fun. Try more crossovers that throw people off. Thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jon @ #17196: Stop being a sore looser, Jim. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #17204: As below. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #17196: The "all died of drug overdoses" connection isn't accurate at all. Michael Jackson died of a heart attack, Amy Winehouse alcohol poisoning, Avicii's death was reported as suicide and Jimi Hendrix chocked on his own vomit. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #17201: Some of the accepted answers are probably too specific. I said "mammals" for the animals one and it was apparently wrong. I said "shades of colours" for the "flesh" group and that was also wrong apparently. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #17204: You've spelled Beatles wrong and it doesn't accept the correct answer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

fermad @ #17154: very confused by this - was it perhaps specifically made for a company/event? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17210: Difficult. Not heard of many of these words before! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17214: Loved the Baldwin group. But Hill doesn't fit that definition, sorry. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #17213: Easy grid, so I was glad to get top marks for a change! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17148: Thing is, I actually was thinking along those lines because of "livid..." but there's nothing to cue us in to looking at the middle letter of the others. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17145: You have a vowel in one of your missing vowels. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17143: Very nice. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17209: Good stuff. 10/10 in 1:30 for me. I'm currently reading a book which coincides nicely with this grid, so that helped. Only one red herring that I spotted, and I found the Nestor group with some reasonable guesses at the 2 tiles I wasn't sure of. Only got the Stall link after the wall resolved. Not super-hard, but a nice work-out. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17204: BeAtles. George. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17136: Excellent! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17113: A couple more factors on Amazon. First of all, they likely weight averages, so I'm not sure it's a pure mathematical mean. Second, people won't usually go to Amazon to give "mediocre" feedback; if you look at the actual ratings most have 5 stars or 1. Here, you are "forced" to give a rating after playing, so people who have middling feelings are more likely to weigh in. I'd be curious to see the actual stats on rankings rather than just the mean we are given. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17129: Looks like a non-unique answer? Because of the crossovers, looks like you can swap Jet -> Amber -> Red -> Vogue -> Jet. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17113: Odd then that I can buy hinges that have 5 stars after 237 reviews on Amazon. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17113: Well, the lack of 5-star grids is just due to how people rank, and how averages work. I usually rank things 5 stars unless there is actually a problem with the grid, but I assume lots of people will rank 3 as "average" and 5 as "really fun" subjectively. Factor in people having different subjective opinions, and it gets vanishingly rare for the average score to end up in the 5 range. (5 years, 10 months ago)

BwB @ #16909: I put synonyms for plunder for the loot group and it wasn’t allowed! ☹️ (5 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #17201: Pretty pathetic to be honest (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #17205: Ditto (5 years, 10 months ago)

anthony @ #17208: a good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17197: Got there with 1s spare. Mantle really threw me. Good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17209: Thanks TJB. Difficult to give feedback on the grid because I didn’t have a clue with two of the groups, so no idea if there are any red herrings in there. There is a spelling mistake which took me off track for a bit. Anyway, I got 2 groups with the links for each one. To get the others would have needed me to hit a 6-1 shot because I was down to pure luck with the 3 attempts at the end. Thank you :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #98: first ten out of ten I've completed! Thank you! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #10577: good grid. Got stuck on the letters! (5 years, 10 months ago)

TJB @ #17209: First grid, any feedback is much appreciated! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Shonosuke @ #17194: (5 years, 10 months ago)

atsushi @ #17194: nice (5 years, 10 months ago)

Donald @ #15067: well constructed (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17169: Bit difficult for me and I struggled. I also think "Line" was a valid answer for the "Life" group as well, but maybe Fireline is a stretch. Cheers though, and how nice to see a normal grid in amongst all the themed or novelty ones! Respect for that! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17194: Fun and easy enough but I think you need to work on your search terms a bit so that players get awarded the correct points. Cheers though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jeff @ #17193: Didn't allow one word answers such as woodwind, keyboard but bizarrely did allow percussion. (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #17194: Polo comes from Central Asia. Worms and snails are not insects. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anthony @ #17194: A GOOD FUN GRID .WELL DONE (5 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #17166: *Caesar. @Wadey technically its correct not to accept Emperors as Caesar wasn't an emperor. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17173: Thank you both (5 years, 10 months ago)

Urtica ferox @ #2297: I really enjoyed this one! Got caught out by the berries. My brain was stuck on things used to stuff bedding and conveniently ignored "black"... (5 years, 10 months ago)

anonymouse @ #17071: The fact that you have to click on the "correct" 2 or 4, since there is more than one, and that the final connections don't include "multiples of 10" or "divisible by 5" and instead only take "ends in 0" or "ends in 5" is frustrating and unfair. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Donald @ #184: As others have pointed out, there is more than one unique solution - so not a good wall. Shouldn't be on the Best grids list (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #17178: Solved the grid without knowing three of the connections at all. Not sure how I managed that. Enjoyable connections for grid once I looked them up (5 years, 10 months ago)

whattuheck @ #17183: not easy but not fiendish either (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #119: did someone do this as a joke or? (5 years, 10 months ago)

whattuheck @ #17168: Never heard of any of those songs, and don't know much about football so didn't do so well. (It was slightly too niche) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17174: I enjoyed that. Had to concentrate but scored 10/10. Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17162: Relatively straight forward but enjoyable. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17172: Easy but fun. Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

nicetea @ #17173: Easy grid. Very enjoyable. (5 years, 10 months ago)

nicetea @ #17178: Good grid. The fox ones were difficult for me. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wadey @ #17166: Agree with Barahir about dice. It didn't accept Roman Emperors as an answer either (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wadey @ #17169: Like it (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tews @ #17174: Good! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Barahir @ #17166: Cube has 6 faces not sides, dice don't have to be cubes (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tews @ #17172: Kids stuff. Fun! (5 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #17166: Good grid. Hadn't heard of cob salad but believe it should be spelled cobb. (5 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #17167: Good grid but didn't accept tramp as an answer despite it being included as a red herring (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17168: Disagree. Not nearly as 'niche' as some. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17167: Yeah decent enough grid but a difficult test of some nicely varied categories. I scored 3. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ceremir @ #17167: I didn't get bowling but it's obvious now. I'd never have gotten the rappers. Good wall. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ceremir @ #17145: Fun. I got 7/10 because I don't know footballers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ceremir @ #17168: Too niche (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ceremir @ #17169: Good (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17164: Loved the Carly Simon group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ceremir @ #17151: 7/10 as I know nothing about football! (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17147: Yes, agreed, bob '________' isn't the same as bob as a synonym for something else Didn't really give that enough thought. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17146: I got what it was about and could name the plays but only by knowing one or two sayings from each. Forming a group was beyond me though. Maybe lines mixed with characters would have been a way to make it a bit more accessible? Liked it though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17150: Nice categories. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17157: No I wasn’t convinced with ‘snow’ either. I needed a link between ‘under’ and ‘queen’ and that was the best going. “Much of Northern England was under snow this evening as Emergency Services struggled to cope”, said Fiona Bruce once a year every year for a decade. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17159: Quite easy to find the groups, but a little pedantic - for instance the metals are listed in English, yet it is their Latin tag which is referred to. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17124: I liked it - fell down some rabbit holes but got there in the end. Enjoyed hidden word group (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17147: Nice grid but agree - shilling doesn't qualify in that group as it has a different relationship to the answer than the other three. Thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17164: Arrggghh! Why is it posting two at a time? Really, does anyone know? Apologies again, and for the spelling mistake in one of the surnames, which I've just noticed. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17162: Good grid - managed this one a bit better. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ceremir @ #17160: Lorum ipsum was a difficult group. Some good red herrings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Josh @ #17163: The group containing "English" is a bit iffy for me -- the naming convention should be consistent between all four of them. Yra and Jumeirah are both outside of my frame of reference, especially Jumeirah, and I assume they would be for most people. But maybe I just need to get out more. Also, there's a typo for Right's description in the reveal. :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #17136: Great grid. I wonder if it was intentional that I initially thought the Rogers group was Baker (Kenny Baker played R2D2 in Star Wars, Ginger Baker was the drummer in Cream). Figured it out just in time 🙂 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #16325: Not for me this one. No "in" to it. Potentially 1820 combinations to go through in 3 minutes just to get one group. That's too demanding for me. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16325: Hmm. I think I might have to agree with the people saying this is just too hard. The issue for me was that I got the Beatles connection straight away, but as literally every clue is a woman’s name from a Beatles song, I just couldn’t figure out where to start. Red Herrings are one thing, but making 75% of the clues red herrings for one row might just be taking the piss a tad! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17159: Colonel group was cunning. Silver group has two more obvious answers which are both correct. I think your explanation refers to something specific about them which you don't mention. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17147: Enjoyed the grid. I too am not convinced by "shilling" and how it works with the others. Being an evil person I think I'd have chucked in Monkhouse and left at least 6 quizzers. (That's because I don't know the shilling red herring, assuming it is one). Thanks CM :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17157: Very nice grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17147: I can see that the connection you've given for Shilling applies, but it's not really the *same* connection as for the other 3 members of that group. Otherwise, good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JamesC @ #566: Great wall. Missing vowels is my favourite round on Only Connect so having it combined with a wall was fun.

Angie T @ #17129: Thank you both. Bog standard format grid, 5 of each category and a couple of 1/2 or 3/4 distraction groups. Not a lot of fun but functional. Like a Skoda. (5 years, 10 months ago)

VirginQueen @ #17036: I like what you did there. Allons y! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17126: We would do, but until we establish where we are, it’s dangerous. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17120: Nice grid with good categories - did not understand the taxi-thingy group though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17126: All of you put your shoes on and go out somewhere...! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17134: Not too hard, but nicely done. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17126: Hey Angie, thanks for the exhaustive answer. I thought London was the capital of the UK, but it seems that while it is commonly perceived as such, it holds no *official* status thereas. I learned something, yay! But England's a country on the island of Britain, (I think "island nation" was the term?) so... hmmmm.... that wouldn't work with Richard Osman's standard definition on Pointless. Okay, I no longer have a firm opinion on this! :-) Meanwhile, the phrase "British Isles" should be used very carefully in Dublin. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

CM @ #17095: Thanks everyone. To me at least, score is a crossword commonplace for a period of twenty years, but it isn't in Chambers now that I've checked, so I'll fall on my sword for that one. Harris is a village on Rum I believe. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17129: Nice (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #17120: Nice mix and good crossovers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17130: I'm with Fridge - so keep them coming - (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17130: Perhaps people are being a little harsh. It's a good concept, challenging and also lightly themed. However there are glaring mistakes as the others have mentioned that really do ruin it. Keep trying, you have good ideas, but make sure everything is sound. Don't use numbers like that without red herrings, far too easy, and annoying as it doesn't feel like a full puzzle. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17126: Really angua? Have you tried explaining that to the people of Dublin? It won’t go well. The British Isles (5 countries) doesn’t have a capital. The UK (4 countries) ditto. Great Britain or Britain (3 countries) ditto. England has London. Scotland has Edinburgh. Wales has Cardiff. Northern Ireland or The North of Ireland or The 6 Counties or Ulster has Belfast. The Republic of Ireland has Dublin. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17127: It's Haigh, not Haig - but I really liked this grid, nice red herrings! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #17027: Said airports, apparently it only accepts UK airports. How can a tiny, rainy little island full of pink little people be a storehouse for so much ego? (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17130: This doesn't work unfortunately - the title of the Kubrick film is '2001: A Space Odyssey', not 'Space Odyssey'. And the four dates are a very easy group to spot. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #17041: Won't accept "Scotland" for Scottish cities. Takes some special Scots brains (oxymoron!) to come up with this type of deep-fried BS. Knob off to the mountains you kilted sheepshagger. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #17045: Quality points deducted because it's TimeS Square not Time Square. Also lol because I labelled "small countries" as "countries that are their own capital" thinking these were countries that have their capital cities named after them. Both my reasonings are wrong but it still got accepted. Overall, 4/10. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #17067: Better than all the rubbish floating around, good job. (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #17123: mad as a bat? nope blind as a bat (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #17123: Does not accept "bomb" for "bombS", total trash. (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #17126: London is capital of the British Isles (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #583: ok i'm old - cassette player :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #17130: Who gave you access to a keyboard? The Kubrick film is called "2001: A Space Odyssey." (5 years, 10 months ago)

Pam @ #2297: I answered carpentry, surely same as woodworking? (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #51: who on Earth could get business schools..too obscure (5 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #17013: BOTH Pauls have to work-whichever one you choose-otherwise it`s cheat. A red herring that`s not a red herring but a trick. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17036: Fantastic. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17126: Hi Voidy. London is the capital of England. England isn’t an island state or whatever the term was. Great Britain (England, Scotland & Wales) doesn’t have a capital. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17130: The adjective, as opposed to the noun, wasn't accepted as the answer for Malaise group. One of the groups was very easy to see.... (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #2026: Couldn't you be bothered to write Les Miserables? (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17129: Good one. Nice crossovers and a couple of false groups herrings... (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #858: didn't get a single group but got the connections (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17126: The Linear group is a new one on me. Still, fair enough. Good one. Not sure why you think London doesn't count, Angie...? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #16979: The two groups from the same overall topic tripped me up at the end. I used up my guesses (because that's what they were). I don't know whether it was deliberate but Babs and Ruth led me down the wrong path for much of the two minutes. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17125: Well, the Barn group (which I didn't get) made me laugh when revealed. Nice one. (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #10280: i was trying bridges and airports (London 4, Glasgow 1) (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17124: :-D (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #8518: never heard of anzac biscuits (5 years, 10 months ago)

alicoo @ #6678: Ok if you follow sports (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17126: Many thanks for the grid Prim. I may have got lucky because I didn't hit any red herrings doing it. Only issue is, strictly speaking, London doesn't fit the description. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

alicoo @ #6762: Sort the answers out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 (5 years, 10 months ago)

alicoo @ #6762: Sort the answers out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17125: The barn group is one I don't remember seeing done before. Like Joan Armatrading, I am open to persuasion, but not sure it's in the spirit of the game really. Pole and Eva's groups were more my kind of gig. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #17014: The code doesn't properly handle double quotation marks, so if those are present in an answer the page won't load. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16983: FWIW I did spot Mockery and Styles, but almost gave up after trying to think of homophones for Anderson, Sessions, and Vranch. I'm old. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16979: While I got the connection, "Watch" does not fit the group you put it in. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Grugen @ #17127: Should be Haigh but otherwise a very good grid. Got me on the Orwell line. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17124: Re ignoramuses: (NB: NOT re ignorami since the root is Latin verb, not noun) One imagined that a double igneous might flag the bleeding obvious but nay, apparently not. However, one feels "in the fire I gnawed coal" would have been regarded as obscure. So in ire, I ignored that one and allowed rocks to reign, as opposed to rain down. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jon @ #17124: v. good (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17124: 10/10 for me. (With a reasonable guess at the Alaska group.) No bonus point, though. Some ignoble ignoramuses might ignore multiple igneous use. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17095: Harris is an island, not a town. The largest town on Harris is Tarbert. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17113: OK, thanks for the feedback Krista. For the record, there is only one one-off documentary in the 4 of that group and I gave that up with the name of it. The other one in the sequence formed a series and the red herring should be an irrelevance. Regardless though, I've seen people criticise other grids for being "obscure". Hello! Have you seen Only Connect? A fair wall gives you at least one as an "in" and then if you perform the detection work in the correct order it becomes a mathematical exercise as much as one based on knowledge. Does it matter? In the great scheme of things, no. It's a bit of fun. But there are no 5 star grids on the site, or at least none in the first 60 pages. So, either people are making shit grids or people don't understand the whole connecting wall idea because that's a ridiculous statistic. Walls should be judged for how they are constructed, not whether the player knows about the subject. And that's my tuppence worth. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #17095: Dictionary doesn`t say score means anything to do with time! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #17113: OK-we all know series like Horizon or Panorama but not one-off documentaries. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Grugen @ #17095: Possibly three score and ten, a bit tenuous but just about fits. (5 years, 10 months ago)

GavinJ @ #17123: I was also convinced that "words that can have the letter S prepended to make new words" was a group. Lots of distractors! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17124: Hmm, didn't really enjoy that grid, sorry. Scored 3/10. Some obscure and strange clues, but that's just my opinion of course, and others might very well enjoy it. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17115: Difficult, but fair, and enjoyable. The Hair line was clever. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17064: Yes, probably one or two too many in retrospect... Can tell a grid hasn't gone down well when there are so few comments on it. People probably just got frustrated and exited before time elapsed. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17123: Good grid with nice crossovers, and for a while I was convinced that "red things" was a group, so if that was a deliberate red herring (get it? lol) then very well played. I have one minor complaint/suggestion - try not to include plural forms in your linking terms, as I dropped from 10/10 to 7/10 this way. Doesn't really bother me, but it might grate on some people when they don't get the score that they earned. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17112: Well as a former professional footballer it's only normal for you to think that way :) Fair enough, I suppose. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Peachy @ #11907: Nicely done and enjoyable (5 years, 10 months ago)

Peachy @ #20: Mixed. The blue line isn't right as two are fictional giants and two are probably based on real people even though legends surround them. (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #2639: Beckhams again - with NY and Shakespeare...boring (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ted @ #15026: Enjoyable (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #8803: easy (5 years, 10 months ago)

Heather @ #184: Great grid, but I wrote, “movies” instead of films...surely that should be correct? (5 years, 10 months ago)

MK @ #16944: Thought the Spice Girls were in this one for a second. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Sue @ #16994: First line are also rugby terms (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17067: I'm with the others here, a well thought out grid without requiring specialist knowledge. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Porridge @ #15674: 10/10.Nice Grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Logan @ #8355: I got stumped for so long because "Ja" means yes in German (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #15907: good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #5160: I guessed at cocktails and got marked correct for the Arctic Monkeys one (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17112: I really don't think you can use the town of three of the teams and the club name for the fourth - not in the spirit. We haven't all 'stretched it like that'. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17114: they are not so much comedy duos as comedy shows. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17111: Essex group just daft. All others good and fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17114: Nice. I did pretty badly, due to looking for Simpsons characters and those who first appeared on Happy Days. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17112: Yeah I wanted to give something back to the American players on the site who complain that my grids are too Anglocentric haha. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17111: Not really sure that the Essex girls one really works - I get where you're coming from, of course, but it's a stereotype rather than a factually accurate. Other than that, really good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17113: Good grid but for the final group it should really accept 'misspelled' or 'misspelt' phrases as a a correct connection as well as 'change one letter' (5 years, 10 months ago)

Secret Santa @ #11593: "Detestable" is in there twice and is in different connections. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jay @ #11986: what cards? this makes no sense (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17111: Thanks Mr V. It's my favourite of the ones I've done. Gutted I messed it up having Bow AND Vine. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17113: Got this one quite quickly. Squid etc was fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17112: The rivers group was tough - and I watch the BBC programme on that subject! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17110: Agreed about the AI v Al problem - identical! But if you distinguish by typing AL it makes it looks like an abbreviation. I suppose it doesn't crop up much. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17111: Would've been 10/10 for me, except I typed a correct link into the wrong group. (Still mentally laughing at the Garfield group connection.) But I only had 18 seconds spare, so it was a fun wall. Nice one. (5 years, 10 months ago)

B @ #17041: St Andrew is not the correct name and stopped me selecting that group as I thought it was a clever clue. The town is called St Andrews. Annoying. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17110: Haven't heard of the punch phrase, myself. Didn't spot the Bill group, probably should have. Was slightly confused over whether it was "ai" in capitals, or the name "al" with a capital A. (That's my excuse, anyway! :) ) Good crossovers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17112: I like the thinking behind this one. I ducked down to 4 stars instead of 5, not because of Bradford, but having 'Stanley' when the others used the other part of their name. We've all stretched it like that. Thank you. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17110: Merci, Monsieur Trois Furets. (5 years, 10 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #17110: (5 years, 10 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #17110: Excellent - Very nicely constructed, good crossovers - (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17111: What you should have told me is that I made an error having two orange properties. That would have been constructive. See how it works? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17111: Thank you for that constructive criticism, Hazza. What did you find obscure? Let me help you. Trump is the paedophile currently inhabiting the White House. Paddington is a bear. Essex is a county. Trains run into stations. Bow Street used to have famous runners. Words are formed by constructing letters in a given and somewhat predictable arrangement. There is literally nothing obscure on the grid unless you mean the worms one which grossed $13 million at the box office. If you mean it's too difficult for you - just say so. If you have nothing constructive to give me as criticism, simply don't bother and stick to reading Biff and Chip books. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Hazza @ #583: Nice, thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ida @ #3188: Good one (5 years, 10 months ago)

Els @ #17088: good grid 7/10 liked the dill line-annoyed I didn't get it (5 years, 10 months ago)

Philj @ #17095: The homophones about time are not right - what has score got to do with time? (5 years, 10 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #17097: Never say Never - with exception of the chap in this link :) Good Grid though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17089: Couldn't agree more. Far far too vague with many many valid solutions. Red herrings should be precise and offer only invalid solutions .So many ways this could work even with your chosen groups. Solving this is just pot luck. Sorry. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17083: I can see how that would make it tricky, Mister. Thanks CM (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17097: One day, when that child is long forgotten, redo this grid with someone else and I'll give it 5/5. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17108: Great grid. My only issue with it is you seem unclear as to the plural of the male sex organ. Obviously, it’s cocks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17097: Angie, I thought it was Cher. :-) Epo, I don't think precede means what you think it means. :-D Fun grid though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister @ #17083: Very difficult for me. I only got the water related group. I don't drink, listen to Christmas songs, or know any of the Johns or Jons. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17091: I think it’s easier to do hard puzzles than easy ones. So challenge for tomorrow is to knock up a simple one (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17097: I’m unreasonably proud of not having a clue what one of those links was. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17093: Simple and fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17096: Yeah I started with the managers and knew two had the same other meaning. It led me to a brilliant site & couldn’t resist some of the other words. That’s where I should have gone simpler I think :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17091: beat me again (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17095: Thanks CM. It’s a nice grid - just that one square didn’t seem right to me Stopped me giving it 5* (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #17096: Too tough for me and probably needed more specialist knowledge than most have - me certainly - although got the managers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17096: Thanks V. I’m still learning where to pitch them. By just choosing a couple of simpler names in one of the links it would have been much simpler. Maybe I should do easy and build up (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17096: Tough, but I liked it. Spotted a couple of the connections (Mercer and Cottonopolis), but still couldn't find the groups! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17041: St Andrews is a town not a city as.is Dunblane despite it having a cathedral. Haven't heard of any of the smoking items apart from Swan Vestas matches so I met my match there. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17091: Thank you Mr Void (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17016: Relatively straight forward but enjoyable. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #17013: Not clever to have 2 Pauls in the grid. Not a red herring or cross over. Simple to solve the wall and the links except for not being sufficiently familiar with the Chase. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17093: If I had a penny for every time I've seen the Taylor group... I'd probably have about 10p. Rector was nice tho. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17075: Clever. Like Dilly could spot some of the links, but not work it out fully. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Angie T @ #17091: Sorry JS. I think I assumed wife would be the thing everyone said but I don't remember typing wives as well. Messed that bit up. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17081: Neat! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #17045: It's 'Times' Square, not Time Square, so that group doesn't work I'm afraid. Also, 'small countries' is way too vague - you need to say 'countries with a population below...' or something like that for it to work. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #17091: Very clever grid - so many red herrings! (5 years, 10 months ago)

cazza @ #905: impossible to pick out tennis as the connection between the cities. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #17089: Very poor quiz setting - there are far, far too many possible alternative solutions: 'Turn Out' / 'Put Out' / 'Give Out' can swap with 'Get Up' / 'Clear Up' / 'Look Up', 'Space Time' can swap with 'Green Zone', and so on. Shame... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dilly @ #17092: Why are people so rude in their feedback? If you’ve nothing nice to say, just pass. Ok there are some novel spellings but it’s a free site relying on others’ goodwill. Take it easy. (5 years, 10 months ago)

MaSPAAGEET @ #17085: just amazing. cool that was funny even though it was me (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dilly @ #17083: Got the short word clues fairly quickly. And then the problems began - I just couldn’t see one of the links so I ran out of attempts. Cute grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dilly @ #17079: There’s an alternative link for the period group where you can just use a cardinal number. It’s a nice grid but definitely US based. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dilly @ #17075: One of those where I could see what the links were but couldn’t get the groups together. I hadn’t heard of a dog version of the link until this puzzle - that didn’t help matters. Good grid with lots of red herrings (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17078: I'd not heard of the link to Collection, but I guess that's just me. I did terribly on this, 2/10, but I think it's actually a good grid. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17077: Sequiturs aren't the same thing as secateurs. (5 years, 10 months ago)

will98 @ #17075: That name category was pretty tough. Nice red herrings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Bert @ #16994: Punt a football term, i don't think so. Currencies a mixture of defunct and relevant. Rubbish grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17073: Wor really threw me. Good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17072: Melbourne was a great group. I put in the wrong surname for the Dawson group, along with "characters", and it was accepted, but shouldn't have been. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17065: Didn't take "bone". :-/ (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #17067: Great grid, didn't get the Dali group but it's fair :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

chetha woman123 @ #17071: good puzz grid itis really confusing (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tbone @ #17030: I liked Dial as the red herring but didn't find any others. Also using one of the links as an answer makes my brain already think about it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tbone @ #17045: I hate to be pedantic but it's kind of the point on this game. This is the second quiz I've played this week that mentions Time Square. Just Google your answers before submitting. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jn @ #17069: Got all the group's right, but no idea how. (5 years, 10 months ago)

chetha woman123 @ #17069: nice puzz grid pleas make a easy one (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #17067: Very good. Sound overlaps and answer varieties. Also, doesn't rely on obscure knowledge, which is nice. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Alan Faulkner @ #17041: St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland NOT a Scottish city. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Virgin Queen @ #17036: Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps all those people who have been running you down over the years, "Ah, here comes Fridge the Thicko" have had it wrong. You just needed the opportunity to shine. Payment by Paypal is fine. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17066: Good grid. Scored 5/10, pane was my bane there. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17065: Yes Jim Lovell would be correct. I didn't even notice that one! The only issue I had was that I didn't have my answer accepted for the Black Knight line, relegating me to a 7/10. Good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Devils Advocaat @ #17065: Should that be Jim Lovell??? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17014: This grid isn't opening for me, some kind of bug? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #17041: Liked the Scottish cities red herrings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #17045: "Time Square"? Do you mean "Times Square"? Also, the groups of small and large countries are too similar. Other than these two groups, there are no real red herrings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tim @ #17048: Very little overlap between groups - would benefit from some ambiguity. Didn't accept "animation" for the Early Man group but I suspect you are thinking of the Bowie Labyrinth film? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17030: Decent enough grid, but I didn't quite understand the Strong line. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17043: Lots of spammy grids today, Doctor. I've been trying to vote them all down. Very time consuming, but still more interesting than work. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mimi @ #150: So 'tennis players' is a wrong answer? Jeez (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17027: Isn't Only Connect a UK-centric show? :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #17044: Solved it in 17 seconds, but was only awarded 1 out of 4 points for correctly identifying the categories - I think you need to make the grid have more crossovers to make it tricky, and then use more terms in the identification of the connections so as to not frustrate players. Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge. @ #17036: 7/10 never played Cribbage. I dunno if this just appealed to me but I solved it in about 15 seconds. But its very good, good crossovers, obscure but accessible. Five star for quality but I have no idea for difficulty. It seems tough but I did solve it almost instantly. (5 years, 10 months ago)

jefco @ #17027: How dare you not accommodate the limited provincial knowledge of all the worlds puzzgrid users at the same time in one grid!! Im an aussie and i got it. Good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

UK for never @ #17027: Ugh I hate all these British ones. The UK airports thing is exceedingly difficult if you have never visited the UK but I imagine it's quite easy if you live there. Geez brits - make your puzz grids less brit-centric. The empire is over! We all don't have to know about your soccer teams and airports. That said I imagine this would be very enjoyable if I were an anglophile. (5 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #17038: Nice one (5 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #17016: the only acceptable answer can be synonym - otherwise its just a blind guess - why is 'nervous' somehow the base definition of all these synonyms. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16994: Excellent grid with some lovely red herrings. Can't see any issue with the football line. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16968: Weird subject choice. Got the groups by pure chance after the mine etc, which I worked out first. However I put silver as the connection which I think is equally valid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #17035: Well because they aren't, they just start with one ;) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tbone @ #15762: I also put Adams as the link as it seemed a short concise way of saying I knew the group, but technically And Another Thing isn't written by him so I can forgive the puzzle setter for that. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jon @ #17026: (5 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Nomates @ #17012: Thanks for restoring my faith Jon, Peekay and Joe. To be honest as I did it extra red herrings cropped up and I couldn't resist chucking them in. Maybe less is more. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kim Lardassian @ #873: Fookeen Shyte (5 years, 10 months ago)

Just Me @ #10666: I got completely distracted by the horrible spelling - I kept looking for some clever word play or hidden phrase. Didn't expect that someone who does a grid like this doesn't bother to spell check Ruhr, Weimar, Rentenmark or even River. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16992: The 'Rupert Bear' group is inspired. I really enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #17016: Simple but effective and enjoyable. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #17025: Four similar connections. The 'Saw' group feels weak because only three fit the same pattern. Quite enjoyable, but this would have benefited from further refinement. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #17026: This would have benefited from a wider range of connection types, but it was still enjoyable. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #17012: It was very clever, perhaps a little too clever, as some of the herrings/groups are are very difficult to spot (5 years, 10 months ago)

Joe Norman @ #17012: Very good. Clever work with all the red herrings too. (5 years, 10 months ago)

4by4 @ #17003: You are correct Mister Tom. Also ironically Swift was included to create an intended false group but I've ended up creating a legitimate alternative as you say - oh for a proof reader/checker! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Nomates @ #17012: Great. My first one ever and that’s your ‘constructive criticism’? How encouraging you are. (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #12833: first one i give 5 for difficulty, totally stranded on this one (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #696: pere is a french word, and it makes compere (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #17003: Clever... and v enjoyable. but unfortunately i would contend that you can swap wren and swift, getting a different group with dickens but still clearly a group. ( ironically, wren in the dickens group did tell me tha nightingale wasnt) (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #1110: London Wall? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Balti @ #17012: Didn't enjoy very much (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16974: Grahame Hall didn't write Wind in the Willows, it was Kenneth Graham but this doesn't detract from the answer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16470: I’m from Liverpool so I’m annoyed at myself for missing Echo and the Bunnymen (even when I’d figured out the connection and the other 3 clues). Great grid though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Billy Nomates @ #17013: One McCartney is pretty much all I can cope with. Thank Christ there aren’t two. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17016: Once again agree with LGG, it should accept synonyms as 'nervous' is definitely not the only word that you can use, i.e. a synonym. Otherwise very good. Would have been 10/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #17017: Overall enjoyable. Rated highly though a little easy. Liked the humpty group. However as LGG pointed out it is TIMES square. That's picky but it really does matter for the coherence of the puzzle. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #17017: Enjoyed it. Thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

angua @ #1161: too many musicals (5 years, 10 months ago)

Golfer444 @ #17018: 5 star difficulty because the connections make little sense. 4 points for the groups, 1 for the connections and you'll find out why that is. (5 years, 10 months ago)

bonehead @ #17018: self-indulgent bum is not a different way of saying bum (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #17017: Should accept Humpty. Also, TimeS Square. (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #17016: Why doesn't it accept 'synonyms' for the synonyms! (5 years, 10 months ago)

lil phil @ #685: i put christopher as part of the -ch group and it accepted it, just fyi. Just a last ditch attempt from seeing Wren there. Got 10/10 but it feels dirty y'know :P (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16917: Having domain knowledge in one area (the Cribbage group in this case) certainly makes some grids much easier! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #17003: Good crossovers. Top grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Somerdog @ #16994: I’m with Ian on this one (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #16994: Nice grid, though would say rugby not soccer? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16983: The "Spirit" group is fine, but the other three make this too frustrating to enjoy. The "Carry" connection is esoteric to start with, but to add in the homophone complication makes it almost impossible for most people to spot. The "Twelfth" connection makes sense, but again feels too specific to be achievable. The "Entrance" connection is flawed as it feels too vague, and could easily have been tightened up so that none were homophones as well as homographs. Overall this one just didn't work for me - sorry! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16994: Similar to Andy P, but 6/10. Fun grid, Thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

james @ #8541: missed a contemporary trick there with brexit-eer (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16986: Apparently "Human League albums" is acceptable, although wrong. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

edwardo @ #16984: The "Macoun", "Tooth" and "Wal" groups are all fine, but the "Lettuce" group isn't very imaginative, and lets the grid down. Some more red herrings would also help (5 years, 10 months ago)

Denny @ #16954: Jellyroll? Jellylike? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rubens @ #16974: Most porterhead circles agree Dumbledore was a master of death. By definition, it's possession of all three hallows (not at the same time, Harry didn't have all three at the same time, in fact no one has), and the acceptance of death. Dumbledore qualifies. The only questionable one was one of the Peverels. As for it being a colloquialism, I'd say no more than any of the others. I think most potterheads would agree there are only two masters of death, Harry and Dumbledore. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ben @ #1818: allow "clue" por favor for us Norteamericanos (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16979: Nice grid. No idea about the Rocky group though :-D 5/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16982: There's a specific word for the race car group. It should be accepted as an answer! Too easy to find the groups, I'm afraid - no crossovers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16981: No need for Australia twice. USA for example could've been subbed into the China group. Otherwise good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16980: The Invisible Man is also a (different) song by The Trudy. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16973: I don't think precede means what you think it means. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16963: Good grid, didn't know the band's name but knew these were songs. Nice red herrings (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16966: Found 1 group in time, but got all the connections, mostly guessing, based onthe first group. Hard, but nice to complete. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16889: Loved it! (5 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #16963: Nice grid...10/10 - we must be on the same wavelength! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16303: Disney and Italy not acceptable for Disney villains and Italian mountains. Bunch of flannel. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16973: Couple of the groups a bit tenuous, and there were limited overlaps. Cheers though, scored 7/10. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16974: At what point was Dumbledore "Master of Death?" The man didn't have half a Horcrux. He never possessed all three Hallows at the same time. Besides, the other three titles are actual, official ones whereas Master of Death (which he wasn't) is more of a colloquialism. That series of clues should accept "Harry Potter" as a general answer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

HPDL @ #8618: To be fair, the word 'corn' is a synonym for grain in British English. Corn being used as a synonym for maize is American English. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Laura @ #16965: Inacceptable without the u? Really? I even spelled "countries" wrong and it still accepted that as an answer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wadey @ #16962: Good grid - I got the wrong letter as I got stuck on B (5 years, 10 months ago)

anthony @ #16965: a good grid but easy (5 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #16969: It was p good - had nice words would grid again (5 years, 10 months ago)

y0 mum @ #16969: This is the best board ever. Victoria Coren Mitchell is SHOOK wig flew to BBC2 studios! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Bin @ #16966: Rylance caught me out (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gun @ #16190: Gun (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rachel @ #16959: Mexico line was great but you need to accept 'city' as an explanation; Nigeria line was great. I'm very iffy on the Dominica line and I think you need to accept a few more answers for the Greece line- I put "mean other things" and it didn't take. Perhaps accept the term 'other'? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andre @ #9875: Washing machines contain a drum, you can have a drum washing machine, but Washing machine is not a type of drum like the others. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #16967: Fantastic grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16967: Nice red herrings (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16962: Brilliant grid - me, not so brilliant... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Funtimes @ #16952: I would suggest adding more keywords, as Dr should have been correct, otherwise great grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tim Nicebutdim @ #16968: Are you some sort of sadist? Where the hell did you dig up those questions and what exactly IS going on in your brain? 2 groups completed. This is very much in the wrong category as a "hard". (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16951: Nice one thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Elastaplast @ #2748: Easy but good (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16942: Some would say it's sacrilegious to put Mayweather and Pacquiao with Ali. Richard Osman, probably. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16968: Hmmm.... 2 groups I think people could be expected to know but 2 groups require very specific knowledge which I definitely did not have - 3/10 for me. (5 years, 10 months ago)

house 35 @ #16925: OH MY GOD ITS #ANDYPANDY (5 years, 10 months ago)

house 35 @ #16926: blow jobs just saying (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16965: Well that was certainly a bit different. Haha. (5 years, 10 months ago)

house 35 @ #16927: agreed (5 years, 10 months ago)

house 35 @ #16927: Comments Lilo: All fair apart from footballers🙄 (2 days, 12 hours ago) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16966: Not a clue. Hurts my brain. My wife kicked the laptop playing this (5 years, 10 months ago)

house 35 @ #16928: @jellylegs you're a bit of a stretch (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16965: Even my wife can do this one (5 years, 10 months ago)

house 35 @ #16934: VLADIMIR (5 years, 10 months ago)

AllPointsNorth @ #16951: Brilliant! A fantastic grid, a couple of nice red herrings, but took me about 90 seconds to finish. One group stood out very well, as I'm sort of related to it :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

AllPointsNorth @ #16968: Not as tough as it looks - a good grid, but a couple of groups are a *bit* obvious. Enjoy it though, it's fun! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JR @ #16261: Rubbish grid. Insurance companies followed by nothing at all. No fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

AllPointsNorth @ #12418: Grid does not work correctly - i typed the answer to one group absolutely correct, and the grid STILL registered it as incorrect... (5 years, 10 months ago)

JR @ #16685: I enjoyed this grid, thank-you for creating it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

AllPointsNorth @ #16967: The "needle" group is a bit of a toughy. Not all vaccines use needles, so that threw me off. Still, not bad as things go. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JR @ #16967: Oh Lord 'elpus I got all the solutions..... nuff said (5 years, 10 months ago)

BradTRC @ #14836: FOR YOUR ATTENTION: Shops are accepted - even if it says incorrect :) Hope this helps! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JR @ #16957: Yes, a good one & I got all of 'em, which is what I want. A question I cannot answer is no fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16964: Thanks guys, sorry about “delivery companies” - thought I had it covered with post, courier and logistics! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #16967: Well done (5 years, 10 months ago)

meme @ #13398: The second row should allow for the word 'artists' (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16956: My spelling correction is playing tricks on me sometimes for English is not my first language (Lancelot is spelled with a z in German). Still sorry I didn't look up the real spelling of Tricia, thought I could trust me memory (since she's mostly just called Trillian in the novels). Still hope you have fun with it :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

funtimes @ #16951: Great grid, and one set is very hard to get right unless you know (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16964: Didn't take "delivery companies". Solved it, but only just in time. Nice and hard. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16963: I was no good on Breathe group, so only 5/10, but fair enough. Good grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16962: 7/10. Very good grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16960: I second Lebamski's comment. (5 years, 10 months ago)

bournemouth @ #16963: Good grid. I recognized two Prodigy songs but all the aircrafts also seemed like plausible names for Prodigy songs. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16963: A solid and very enjoyable grid. Managed 10/10, but had me stumped for much of the first two minutes! Thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16964: Not a terrible grid, bit of an overused format but it was still pretty good. Could do with expanding the solve terms a little bit as I was robbed of a couple of points. Cheers mate. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16963: Great grid - didn't manage to get any of the groups in the 3 minutes though knew what 3 of them were. Got all 4 right once the grid was resolved. (5 years, 10 months ago)

harpercat @ #6140: One or two nice twists but quite easy really, (5 years, 10 months ago)

harpercat @ #16956: Nice red herrings made this a fun grid to solve. I can forgive the typos ;) (5 years, 10 months ago)

harpercat @ #16957: Easy but fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

harpercat @ #583: Nice challenge! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tbone @ #16952: Easy to solve but categories not recognised, "sin" and "dr" should not have failed. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tbone @ #16957: East to solve but there were a couple of red herrings. Didn't accept "country" or "christmas" for the answers though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16960: The 'Tu' group is inspired, and the 'Doe' group is also fine. The 'Yak' group feels incredibly esoteric, and the 'Haz' group is a bit too vague and subjective. Some nice ideas, but this needed further refinement to really work. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fergal @ #3456: Lead is not a transition metal so that connection is incorrect, otherwise a good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fergal @ #3456: Lead is not a transition metal so that connection is incorrect, otherwise a good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16959: Didn't enjoy this one either, sorry. The Mexico line was good, got that one straight away, although the solve terms didn't include "city" which cost me a point. The Somalia line was clever, although South Sudan put me off with that one. With the name being so close to the actual country it seceded from, I'm not sure it should be considered a valid answer, but I guess options were limited for that category. Cheers for your effort, and trying to keep to a fun theme, but I just felt that the answers and categories were a bit forced. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16960: Well, the Avenue line was good, a genuine connection that people could have plausibly solved, and of the style that could be plausibly used on the show itself. The rest, well, my mother once told me that if I had nothing positive to say, to say nothing at all. (5 years, 10 months ago)

rob @ #16937: They're (American) rap musicians whose names start with Lil'. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16960: Hmmm. I got none, but feel that I should have got some. Nice grid though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

edwardo @ #16956: It's actually "Tricia". Very good grid though, nice use of red herrings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16950: A good grid, albeit a little on the east side. I had the exact same thought as Mister Tom below so maybe "playable characters" needs to be specified for the White line to make it work. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16947: typo on George - I think Kenny category should say can all follow rather than can all be followed 'by' (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16960: Bit vague for me this time (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rich @ #16955: Toucan group are also names of book publishers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16955: Sharks have cartilage, not bone. That being said, i got 0/10. Awesome when I saw the answers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16937: Me too! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Funtimes @ #16949: Thanks, a bee suit is what a beekeeper wears to protect themselves. Although Bumblebee man suit might also work Lol! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16936: The Chinese group can also all be followed by work. Also put mythical names but wasn't accepted. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16933: Power and energy should both be accepted. (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16955: Shark is a vertebrate. Is it still boneless because it has fishbones? 7/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #16908: I think the loot definition could be clearer. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16950: Not sure I have heard of Break as a golf term (5 years, 10 months ago)

Y @ #16941: did accept Dickens characters for me (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16957: Hahaha I thought the country category was more complicated since all of them sound like or could mean something else (that could be more or less linked to food even): Chili, hungry, turkey, grease Nice but easy grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #16934: Novelists should be acceptable for the writers’s group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #16938: Agree about the piano - it’s never normally described as a stringed instrument. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #13037: Ha ha. I guarantee this grid generates more smiles than any other!!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #16946: Tricky!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16956: Typo on Lancelot. Also, didn't accept characters from arthurian legend. Good grid otherwise. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Teepee @ #16063: Gave up when ‘desserts’ was classed as being incorrect. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Flumoxed @ #16941: Did not accept Dickens characters or Roald Dahl characters which are both correct (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16955: Worms etc: No legs. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16948: 10/10, but only just in time. Good one. (5 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #16950: nice straightforward grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16951: 7/10. Nice grid, good red herings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kerblam! @ #16954: Sorry. Forgot to have a guess at the difficulty level. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Citrine @ #16907: Brilliant! What’s next? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16945: Good one, and tough (5 years, 10 months ago)

bournemouth @ #16949: Nice grid. Is a bee suit like what Bumblebee man from the Simpsons wears or what a beekeeper wears? Or is it some other kind of suit? (5 years, 10 months ago)

anj @ #16951: Enjoyable grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16950: Unfortunately the victim in Cluedo is doctor black... which can therefore be swapped with Plum, so not a unique solution. A shame because it would enable a new twist on the well used Cleudo group (5 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #16950: very good, straightforward grid, not very difficult (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wadey @ #16950: 10/10 - Really enjoyed this one, nice groups (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #16938: 6/10. Good grid. My only comment is the piano is generally identified as Percussion rather than String section (reason being you have hammers that hit the strings), but its not incorrect to call it a string instrument. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gstar @ #16945: 10/10. Lucky guess with Radiohead, and Basil made me lol when I got it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gstar @ #16946: Fiendish! Gona disagree with the other comments - I think part of the fun is that some of the words fit more than one, but every category has unique ones. Definite room for improvement though as it is a bit close on 3 lives (5 years, 10 months ago)

Robbo62 @ #16945: Think this person should be a question setter on Only Connect. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Robbo62 @ #16946: Saw all the connections, didn't manage to solve them though. Devilishly clever, closer to fiendish i would say. Definitely one of my favourites. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16946: Gave this 5 stars by mistake- no unique solution. Nice idea though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16894: nah (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16946: Good idea - and good fun, although agree that town group could be up and stairs could be up or down. So not sure they are 4 totally unique groups. Thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16945: 2/10. Bad for self esteem. Nicely done but I didn’t stand a chance with the marvel and Radiohead categories. (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16897: Brilliant. Thanks. I love the wordy ones (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16946: 4/10. good red herings. The town category can either be up or down, it's apparent once you got the theme though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16889: The state nicknames were too clever for me and I have no idea about Super Mario games titles but think that relatives should be accepted for the family members. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16946: 5/10. Saw the theme quite early, but struggled for ages to get any groups. Really good crossovers. Excellent! (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16936: Yes saw it too late. Sorry, hope it's still fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16945: 2/10. Terrible. ...my performance, that is. I think the grid's really good. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Leow Bee Keng @ #16940: Thank you, I enjoyed the grid, (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16943: Yep, nice. (5 years, 10 months ago)

MW @ #16942: Very satisfying, thank you. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #16936: Nice but you've got a typo - she's Baba Yaga, Baby Yaga. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Darto @ #16943: Fantastic- not terribly difficult but lots of red herrings and cross overd (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #16940: Betelgeuse is the star. Beetlejuice is the film - so this doesn't work, sorry. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16934: Kafka group a bit vague - but pleased to get 7 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16935: Butterfly isn't a type of monarch - it's the other way round (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16938: nice (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16940: I think those comments wrap up the concerns. Keep at it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16940: Won't accept Marauders for HP - get on the lore if you're gonna ask a question. Those four being the Marauders is pretty basic knowledge for a quiz setter. Won't accept 'movies' for the TB films. Also the film is called 'Beetlejuice' not the way the star is spelled so that's just not on. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #16921: Lots of herrings, very fun. I spent the whole time trying to make Mash work with other TV shows thow. Also might just be me but I have never heard of any of the whistle group except blower. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Darto @ #16940: Sorry - not one of your better efforts. Betelgeuse is just plain wrong (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andyandyandy @ #16940: Misspelling something to make it a red herring isn't the way. (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #16940: Would have been nice to accept 'Marauders' (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16941: Found it easy myself. Typo on Augustus. Still fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16941: great grid, got 10/10, but wasn't that easy ;) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kerblam! @ #16939: You should have juggled the words better. Music hall - yep, should have included that. Not sure a ventriloquist would storm it at a circus. (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16938: good grid, good red herings (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16939: Magic group: Didn't accept "music hall" or "circus disciplines". Also, speaking as a juggler... F*** you, mate! :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16937: I'm none the wiser on the Sebastian group, even after being shown the connection! 7/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16935: Wouldn't take "systems of rule". Didn't quite twig the King & Cobra connections, but I think I like it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16933: Good grid, got all of them right although also put energy and heteronym,which I think is the correct terminology. (5 years, 10 months ago)

chris @ #16935: not too difficult (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16926: liked it @Mugwump also blow hole (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lilo @ #16927: All fair apart from footballers🙄 (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16923: nice grid. being a potterhead this was greatly difficult lol. got 4/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lilo @ #16927: (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16935: nice grid. managed to find the banana category but thought they could all be accompanied by 'second' lol (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lilo @ #16929: Nice, cunning. Though Two of the animals being the same "ant" made me discount that option! (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16932: doesn't make sense (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16933: good grid. I think the power category should also accept 'energy' (5 years, 10 months ago)

pfaurenz @ #16916: nice grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

sibyl @ #16913: reminds me of a classic OnlyConnect grid :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16933: Good one. I managed to put the exact opposite meaning for the Book line haha. Scored 6/10. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16924: That's 3 more tham me Andy... yellow group was v good (5 years, 10 months ago)

JellyLegs @ #16932: Chaotic Evil (5 years, 10 months ago)

shadow @ #16932: Not fair!!!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16927: Same - it was tough but fair. Got the Timor group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #113: Really easy but nice! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16906: Got me - but good categories (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16928: Good fun. Thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16914: Point taken. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16884: Whoops this is a duplicated grid with quintuplicated comments from LizT below. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16883: The cities group are also all university cities. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16927: Not a chance in hell I could solve this one. Quite fun when connections were revealed. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16928: Free? Tsk tsk. I liked the theme though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

JellyLegs @ #16928: Stalk and Free are a bit of a stretch, otherwise pretty clever (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16924: Won't accept "wrestling" for the wrestling one (5 years, 10 months ago)

edwardo @ #16917: Surprisingly I found this one easier than some Medium grids. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Miles Away @ #16929: Lol, good one. Some nice red herrings with the geography terms. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16926: Blow---torch, fine. Blow---dry, alright. Blow---fish, actually quite good. Blow---smoke, ??? @Mugwump: 'Bush' is a red herring because it's also a band. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16807: Thanks JonBoB, I reckon you've got a point - first time submitter though. Thanks for the /constructive/ criticism. As for Ade, I agree with both you and Dave about your mums. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16918: I resolved the wall, knowing only two connections. The bop one is beyond me to figure out, but I got it somehow. No connections accepted. I’ve done the same thing when I’ve tried to make grids. M (5 years, 10 months ago)

R @ #16922: Othello group only one I solved, but once resolved didn’t get that connection. I did get the other three connections though. Go figure, (5 years, 10 months ago)

Paratus @ #16928: Free isn't a number. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Steve h @ #16922: got the french line nowt else (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16926: Struggled with the bands but good wall, though not sure there are any red herrings...maybe there are though! (5 years, 10 months ago)

bournemouth @ #16914: Ditto. You might say the grid maker was a bit too precious when it came to accepting answers for that group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16914: Enjoyed this one, although didn't allow "stones" for the purple group - I got 7/10. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16921: Recognised the TV shows, monster and potato quite quickly but could only find one combo - 4/10 for me. Good one though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mugwump @ #16923: Thanks for comments, first time trying this. I agree probably too many overlaps and not one unique solution, will check when writing others. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16925: Very nice - I got 10, but it felt for a long time like I wasn't going to. (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16923: Saw 2 of the groups but couldn't resolve. 4/10 when groups resolved. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16924: Decent enough grid. The five wrestling terms were very obscure, only heard of three of them (including the decoy), which might well be more than most players will have done. Cheers though! (5 years, 10 months ago)

that guy @ #3608: Celebration should be acceptable fort he ball group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16923: Fletcher and Potter could swap. :-/ (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16916: Nice to do. Thanks. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16923: Good grid, pretty hard though with lots and lots of overlaps. There is definitely not a unique solution here, but I still rated you highly. I scored 5/10, for the record. Cheers! (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16921: Mashed that one up all right. Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist? (5 years, 10 months ago)

JellyLegs @ #16918: just putting the letter a should work for the "a-" group, and just putting board for the "-board" group should count as correct, my bad. (5 years, 10 months ago)

your neighborhood friends @ #15274: this was very hard, I had fun tho. Never again (5 years, 10 months ago)

JellyLegs @ #179: Tough for an american haha "who" was good fun though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16864: Excellent grid! Greg House and Sherlock Holmes really threw me, because the character of House (and the show in general) is heavily based on Sherlock Holmes! Got 10/10 in the end though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16908: I got the monkey island islands, but for most people that’d be a very obscure category! Still, it made me happy (5 years, 10 months ago)

lottie @ #16901: like it thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

Brodiefish @ #16884: Pretty good grid, but when you have 3 which are simply the names of cities in the UK, the answer should not be "football teams called united" - there are simply too many connections possible there. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Banned @ #16895: Too E-asy (5 years, 10 months ago)

Evelyn Wilson @ #16798: God grid. Coopers are nor obsolete - we still make barrels in my home town (5 years, 10 months ago)

LizT @ #2093: Good grid thank (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16857: Sorry guys but managed 10/10 without a clue about the songs but just guessed "song titles" and got correct. Knew the footballers but thought at first they were going to be artists until I'd got all 4 in the line. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16855: The crisps are better described as snacks but that is not an accepted answer. Otherwise I enjoyed it. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Darto @ #16904: Brilliant grid. One of my favourites ever 👍 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16895: That could have been me talking Rantos - solved groups (last 2 by luck) but didn't get all categories. Don't know kinematic either - or the Position ref. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16904: Brilliant - but couldn't get in to the theme so beat me - those that do will love this. Well thought out grid. Hat off. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16897: Not easy for me - I got 0 - need to borrow someone else's brain. But they all made sense. Just too hard for me. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16901: Nice - Clever one - got me I have to admit and I like these kinds of grids. So I feel foolish. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16887: I'm not your wife. (5 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #16887: For future reference, "general audience" means more people than simply your wife. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16887: I made this for my wife, hope you enjoy but you probably won't understand as they're specific to my wife, anyway enjoy but unless you're my wife I wouldn't hold out (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ellie @ #16876: Not sure about the blue category (GS) - bit random! The others were good though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kev @ #3712: Like it (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #16816: Thanks for all the feedback! Mister Tom: It was down to "Gooner" & "Haut", and I picked (it seems somewhat controversially) "Haut". (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kev @ #16879: Nice one, main vein is a little out there. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Brodiefish @ #16693: Good wall, but the descriptions for one of the groups "The one containing Lucifer" could have been a little more inclusive. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Kev @ #16853: They are called suits, so suits should give correct response. (5 years, 10 months ago)

dtv @ #3712: SI units connect is brilliant (5 years, 10 months ago)

Shep @ #16864: Fantastic grid, nice bit of overlap. A bit on the easier side, but that's not always a bad thing. (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16669: Quality grid :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16818: I was nowhere near guessing the MDMA group, but I admire it in retrospect! (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16859: (Although I do like that connection.) (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16859: Tough. Not very guessable. Should've gone for someone called Ware for a better sound match. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16860: Nice one. Good crossovers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16854: Some nice crossovers, but, although you can argue that Page is a Jimmy, x has a point that it's not uniquely solveable. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16865: Glow group can also be suffixed with "er". I'd also argue that Toe group could be "_____ joints"...but maybe not that hard. :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16864: A rare 10/10. Great grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16701: Same as Giggsy, cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

eh? @ #16870: Challenging grid, well done. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16840: Quite variable difficulty. I am reasonably well versed in comics but wouldn't ever have got the 2 group's I didn't get. Full marks for originality tho (5 years, 10 months ago)

eh? @ #16869: Great grid, some interesting cross overs and red herrings. Nice work (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #16862: Well, that was irredeemably bad. That's the most constructive I can be. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16861: I don't know mate, some weird grids lately. (5 years, 10 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #16862: What is or are devose? Where is Cota and Shanghai has an upper case S. Two groups connected by fenton. What's fenton? (5 years, 10 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #16861: Can anyone explain please, I'm mystified. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #16857: Good mix of content, would agree about the song category though! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #1396: Great grid! Particularly liked the clever group starting with "Bout" (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #16825: Top grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andrew G @ #16857: I wasn't specific enough with one of the groups so got 7/10. Good choice of words with one or two red herrings. Great job. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16827: A better & trickier grid than the below comment gives it credit for. Cheers Dinah. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16825: Agree with below, cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #19: Well, this grid was created about 75 years ago when social attitudes were a bit different. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16853: Would look a bit more professional if you capitalised the clues, and would play a bit better if you threw in a few overlaps. Still, 10/10 in 10 seconds is a new record for me. (5 years, 10 months ago)

FHB @ #16854: wouldn't accept racing drivers for Hunt group (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16857: Pretty good grid with nice mix of content, just missed the Stool group on my way to 7/10. Thought the Umbrella group stuck out like a sore thumb though. Cheers mate. (5 years, 10 months ago)

three ferrets @ #16845: very clever - very tough - but fair... enjoyed (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2159: usual annoyance - 'old trades which are also surnames', ie my answer, was rejected as the correct answer was 'jobs which are names'..... what???????!!!!!!!! sooooooooooo irritating, and basically UNNNECESSARY. sort out answers with the same diligence you made the grid..... (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2185: sorry -unenjoyable silliness (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2189: my usual annoyance - was marked wrong when I said 'egg dishes', which I actually think is a better answer as eggs Florentine and Benedict are special dishes which contain poached eggs, and the correct answer appears to be 'ways of cooking eggs'. hmph... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16854: Ditto. Nicely done (5 years, 10 months ago)

Old Alan @ #16662: Net isn’t a number, but “two” is! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16837: There are at least two crossovers because Brown is a crossover with the Pink group, and Blair is a crossover with the Hermione group. Is there a crossover with the Djibouti group? (5 years, 10 months ago)

JS @ #16853: Just a bit too easy, this one - there are no red herrings and nothing that could fit into more than one group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

bonehead @ #16853: suits not acceptable, tv stations not acceptable. Love it (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16855: very nice - thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16748: Not sure I enjoyed this one. My wife told me off for not getting them all right. She said I'm not allowed to play again until I've proven I'm worthy. So see you in a few weeks I guess... (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16756: Not bad my friend not bad. You got me there. These are smart. I bet no one can get full marks. Comment if you do, my wife would like to read them. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tipak @ #16854: Bah x-men red herring got me (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16782: What a joke. Loved your last one, this one made me cry. Useless. The wife hated it too. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16854: some nice crossovers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Big Man @ #16855: What a lovely lovely grid. Thoroughly enjoyed wasting my evening on it. My wife had the best of times too. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy @ #16765: very good (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16816: Great fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

sharpers @ #186: good grid, got us with the last one! (5 years, 10 months ago)

JonBob @ #16807: "Flitwick" and "Apace" groups very good! "Tongue" line seems over-broad, though I did identify it. "Son" line was pretty arbitrary; if you had managed them to be all the same length, or something, that would have helped a lot. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #16840: I like being beaten by very original grids, five star! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16845: Thanks v. much (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16816: doog drig (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16845: I found this grid to be nasty, foul, vile, etc. (5 years, 10 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16840: Best one I've seen for a while. (Might be slightly biased 'cos I got 7/10. Honest.) (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16853: Hey, nice grid, nice and easy. Could I suggest widening the possibilities for answers (for example, "suits" was not accepted for the cards line and maybe "broadcasters" as well as "channels on the tv")? Later, to make it a little harder for people, try to think of words that could fit in more than one category, like, I don't know, Jefferson Starship could fit the music bands as well as the "star" line. Well, not exactly, but you get the picture. I have never heard of any of those musical groups, but I'm sure they are very good, since you put them there. Have you ever heard of "The Rolling Stones" or "The Doors"? Well done, keep up the good work! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16816: Well, that sort of constructive comment would really be spurring me to provide superior free entertainment, I must say. (Ironically, you could have used "Gooner"....) Good, varied challenge (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16622: Nice. I enjoyed the Road line especially (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16621: Particularly liked the Dart line :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dennis Bell @ #16838: got a fail for "computer languages" (5 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #16840: Nicely thought out but a little too obscure for most. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16838: Easy, but fun with some interesting overlaps. Cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

SidC @ #15868: Super easy; how come this was rated as "hard"? (5 years, 10 months ago)

SidC @ #6020: I'm going to assume that the misplaced apostrophe in the answer for the purple row was an autocorrect error; there's no way that someone compiling a grid this hard would deliberately do that :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

SidC @ #9214: Fiendish grid, top work. Too hard for me to find any groups at all, but I could identify them after the timer gave out. I would take issue, though, with the word "synonym" being used to describe the answers; the letters represent homophones (same sound, different meaning), rather than synonyms (different words, same meaning). (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jonathan @ #16824: James, not all of them are dwarves (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16825: Nice one (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16820: Good groups, but just couldn't get the correct combo for the comedians (7 options makes it very hard - I could be wrong, but I think that makes 35 potential combinations). It didn't accept dressings, but it did accept salad dressings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

sadia @ #2661: homophones (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16845: Yep, nicely done. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16840: Big zero for me.....and ......I would have thought......for most others. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #16845: Genius. Best grid I've played in recent memory. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #16837: Very easy. Fun, but very VERY easy. Try more herrings and crossovers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #230: Equine incorrect???? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #15868: Super easy, but really fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16838: nice and easy does it every time (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16820: wasn't Sharon tate polanskis wife, who was killed by the manson mob? Never heard of Catherine tate. but i never watch british tv. (5 years, 10 months ago)

haywood @ #16820: didn't accept dressing. what's wafu? what's living doll? what's overwork? oh. I wouldn't know about overwork, only underwork. That's why i spend all my time doing these yokes. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dorta @ #16834: top gridding (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16820: I enjoyed this, some nice red herrings (especially for the comedienne group), but it didn’t accept ”dressings” which you may or may not want to fix! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16816: Gunner, what’s wrong with “haut” as an anagram (for Utah)? Mappy, this was fun. I’m kicking myself for not getting New York! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16837: The Reservoir dogs group are also just colours. It was easy to spot the groups as there were no cross overs. (5 years, 10 months ago)

ace deception @ #16832: WOAH that anagram one was phuck'd up! (5 years, 10 months ago)

TiggerGill @ #16838: First one I have tried - interesting! (5 years, 10 months ago)

ace deception @ #16838: I agree with LC! also this was way too easy (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16836: Bizarre L obsessed groupings - and very vague. Only me - how did you do it so easily with such vague groups? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Bertie @ #16836: Bit obscure! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16840: Nice theme but very tough (5 years, 10 months ago)

LC @ #16838: "programming languages" should be acceptable as an answer for the "coding languages" group (5 years, 10 months ago)

kirsty @ #15939: Not complete (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16837: Found this v straightforward to resolve: even if a couple of answers are obscure there's no mystery as to their group (5 years, 10 months ago)

james @ #16824: Arent they dwarves??? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16839: Wagner group is loose to say the least - not sure just saying actor and actress is enough (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16835: Categories way too broad and general - impossible to guess. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16837: Nice. Thanks for creating this grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Stan @ #16839: Sorry - by Wagners I meant Richard Wagner, Lindsay Wagner, Robert Wagner and the city. (5 years, 10 months ago)

anthony @ #16837: a good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #8178: Wouldn't accept trades. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16833: Different - the red herrings don't form full groups and catch the eye but if you can see a 4 there wasn't a fifth. Fun to do (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16836: Hmmm. Having solved the grid with just 12 clicks, I couldn't be bothered to fill in the answers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2249: I said 'words for things going wrong' and was marked wrong...!! I absolutely hate that happening (5 years, 10 months ago)

x @ #16828: one of the categories requires very specialised knowledge (5 years, 10 months ago)

flabbel @ #16836: Huh? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Pipzi @ #16835: Bloody hell, that was tricky. More difficult being *all* cities/towns? Fun tho, I'm off to try more... :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16834: Possibly i havent seen enough movies, but found this v straightforward (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2311: for goodness sake - didn't accept fruit!!!! and is a grape a berry - never heard it being referred to as such?? and greek characters? the siege of troy? snort.... this is what I would call nonsense, and made up nonsense at that (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2336: agree with fred - very subjective answers. missing mass - strange (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2347: I did 'isle of ….' and of course was rejected. isle of dogs is not an island either, though you never actually said it was...!! more care over answers please, just as much care as you would take to create a grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2479: anger is a noun. cannot possibly be the answer to the gridline, v disappointing (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2494: tabloid is not an eponymous brand (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16825: Nice and not too hard (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16831: Not sure about Gravy group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16834: Good one - didn't get Linguini group (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #15566: Got the cowboy and Denver groups v quickly, but not the other two. But got those links immediately once the groups were revealed. 6/10. Fun grid. (Hey, why is it always the rabbit we have to select?) (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #15567: Evans group is v obscure, IMO. Should've had at least one more-well-known option in there. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16833: Kept me guessing until I almost ran out of time. Good groups to get 2 or 3 of easily, but harder to complete. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #16834: Excellent grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #16807: Tosh (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #16807: Tosh (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #16816: The grid was good, thanks. As for gunner, there really is no excuse for that kind of language. And I am no prude. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16821: Consider myself lucky to get two points (5 years, 10 months ago)

tony @ #14915: i put tihngs you can do to a ball for the dances and still maintain its correct. i awarded myself the point !!. good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

fhb @ #16816: I put poetry in rather than poems and it showed as incorrect (5 years, 10 months ago)

tony @ #14861: good luck to anyone getting the capitals. i did not..suspect most wont. tough.. (5 years, 10 months ago)

The Void @ #16827: Nice, but I didn't spot any traps. Once I saw a connection, I selected the correct 4 first time, for all groups. Still, quite satisfying. Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

anthony @ #16825: a nice grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16820: it accepted Comedians comediennes and comedy actors - it did accept salad and dressing. Yes, sorry about Catherine - brain fart (5 years, 10 months ago)

BeastieBoi @ #16826: Bloody football! Lol I would call this grid 'specialist' and not general interest (5 years, 10 months ago)

BeastieBoi @ #16740: Wouldn't accept neckwear as an answer. No idea what swanling is... (5 years, 10 months ago)

BeastieBoi @ #16774: Nice and colourful, neat idea! Easy but fun (5 years, 10 months ago)

BeastieBoi @ #2297: Quite hard actually! (5 years, 10 months ago)

BeastieBoi @ #16825: Bit easy but cool (5 years, 10 months ago)

MK @ #1396: I got marked as correct for typing "laundry detergent" for the group with 'Bout' lol (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ben @ #16817: it should accept "video games" (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #8000: I actually put Welsh towns and got a point, when I probably shouldn't have done really. Fun quiz though (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #566: I loved this, even if I did only get 5 points! (5 years, 10 months ago)

mjf @ #16820: You mean Catherine Tate, not Sharon Tate! (5 years, 10 months ago)

peterpan @ #16820: The grid didn't accept "dressing" or "comics". (5 years, 10 months ago)

matt @ #16822: the answers required are too specific... I put "TV Channels" but the correct answer (which isn't even Grammatically correct) is "UKTV Channels" (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dinah @ #16809: Oh dear... As with others, I put in all the right answers, but just one word for each - all came up as incorrect! Rantos, try putting just the one, obvious word - then you can put anything you like after the comma - I made the same mistake on the first few I did as well. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dinah @ #16822: Pretty difficult if you've never watched Gavin and Stacey! Lol (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dinah @ #16824: Very nice grid - but pretty easy! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16821: Just too hard (5 years, 10 months ago)

LGG @ #16822: Why's it all about G and S!!!? (5 years, 10 months ago)

SuzieX @ #8403: Didn't like War... sorry to be picky, but it doesn't really fit with the others in the category as it's finishing off a real name, not a type of saw! Otherwise, nice grid, thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

SuzieX @ #6140: good grid (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dinah @ #184: Loved it! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dinah @ #583: Very enjoyable! Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Hal Jam @ #910: No cathedral but an amazing church! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16820: Never heard of wafu. Nice grid. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16818: Sorry, that should have read 'Not bad' (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jim @ #16814: I spelled the third clue “dwarves” and it was incorrect. (5 years, 10 months ago)

KV @ #16809: I got all the corrrct connections but none were rewarded. Connections don’t seem to work when inputted. Very frustrating! (5 years, 10 months ago)

bumslinx @ #16809: I entered the correct answers for the first three and it said they were incorrect! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Democratic Republic of Welbeck @ #16816: That was hard (5 years, 10 months ago)

Drato @ #16785: Agree- 3 crackers and 1 pointlessly impossible (5 years, 10 months ago)

revdup @ #16817: 'computer games' and 'radiation' not accepted - need to adjust level of tolerance for these answers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Only Me @ #16817: Nice work. Agree with Mr Tom. (5 years, 10 months ago)

revdup @ #16791: dont understand urchin group (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2714: usual rubbishy answers making correct answers wrong. the answers are EQUALLY important as the grid. otherwise why bother (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2720: stig is not a presenter (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2733: eponymous characters - what pretentious rubbish (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2797: to mix socially - wrong hats - wrong, yes incorrect when the actual answer is ...hats...!!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

giggsy @ #10925: Garden Treehouse? (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2845: positively one of the silliest grids in this website. sorry. no thought gone into this - too many legitimate answers for lines. not pretending I could make a grid though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2887: in my accent for is not a homophone of four - not near....! (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #2949: i can see previous comments date back four years. in that time no adjustments have been made to the poor range of answers, primarily the fact that London underground lines was marked wrong as the limited answer is London tube lines. underground is the correct name, tube is the local name, both should be accepted. non acceptance of correct answers is one of my bugbears. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #16816: Yeah, I wasn't too sure about "haut" as an anagram either, so I used this as justification: https://www.google.com/search?q=haut&oq=haut&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l2.1280j0j7&client=ms-android-att-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 (5 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #16811: If you enter "Bla...." as the connection the user has to type "Bla...." if you enter "Bla" the user can type "Bla" or "Bla..." or "Blabber". Type the smallest thing. (5 years, 10 months ago)

LizT @ #16809: Great connections got two rows. Answers showed as incorrect but still enjoyed playing thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

LizT @ #16789: Got most of the themes but couldn't connect any of the rows. Got all answers once solved and kicked myself. I liked it (5 years, 10 months ago)

LizT @ #16813: Good grid, found the first one easily but the other 3 were tricky, liked the links (5 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16809: Same here. Should have scored 10/10_but only have me 4/10. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16818: It bad. I counted 3 crossovers which is... ok. Didn't think the rest of the mdma group was obscure. I've seen all these group's before though, some quite recently (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gunner @ #16816: The futtock is "Haut" supposed to mean? Call that an anagram, you mong? (5 years, 10 months ago)

bonehead @ #16818: not bad but needs more crossovers. MDMA group obscure (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16817: Nice ideas but I think rather niche, and some of the groupings are a bit loose. Solvable, but still: right is not a triangle.... and isosceles is _only_ a triangle. For instance Golden, love and warning would be better, not only to widen the concepts in the group but also not to give the game away. But have another go: some of us like maths ;-p (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16809: I apologize. The way I wrote the category connections was stupid.. I didn’t get it right myself. Will not put dashes in in the future (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #1396: Great grid! Particularly liked the clever group starting with "Bout". (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ade @ #16791: Lovely. Thanks (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16811: Sorry - I think there are anomalies with the underlying code in certain browsers - I obviously set up the Hammer group to accept that single word answer. Maybe adding ... after does something, I don't know. But I have seen this happen a lot. Enjoy yours very much - Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

revdup @ #16809: got right answers but they weren't accepted :-( (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16813: I saw what you did there, but couldn't quite resolve it. Good stuff (tho I think you could have the aha group actors/ actresses too. (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16809: Agree - none of my answers accepted. Try not to be too specific with the wording required. (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16811: Darn... just couldn't remember BTF! For some reason, the Hammer line didn't accept the single word answer. Enjoyed this one :-) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Pixiewitch @ #11628: The Queen is Her Majesty (HM) not HRH (5 years, 10 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16809: didn't except Wall, Rock or Stone ??????? (5 years, 10 months ago)

utc allstars @ #16809: got 100% said it was all wrong!!!!!!!Timewaster...…. (5 years, 10 months ago)

UnbelievableJeff @ #16812: I support a "United". We've not lost to any of those teams, though. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16810: Might have been worth doing that anyway (but Jeopardy Cream Top Counting, for example) The explained herrings are a help because as someone who recognised exactly 0 of the songs, this grid otherwise didn't work as a whole. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Lawton @ #16812: The best thing since pie and chips. Don't forget the gravy and the ice cream, with a nettle on top. Best puzzgrider since the Goonies! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Haywood Wannabe @ #16793: Literally put chocolate and got it wrong, i put graphs and it was wrong. Awful! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16810: When first creating this grid I had a game show false category in mind as two of Beyonce's songs are Family Feud and Countdown. However, I abandoned the idea as it is not called that in the UK and I couldn't find a way to falsely clue more game shows other than perhaps having a shortbread category for Millionaire. Beyonce songs that didn't make the cut included Hollywood, Listen, Deja Vu, and Party. (5 years, 10 months ago)

rantos @ #16135: loved it, not least because i got 10/10 with just the right amount of searching (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mappy @ #519: Fantastic grid! I didn't stand much of a chance (3/10), but fantastic nonetheless! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jo @ #16744: The Goof Troop? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gizbobs @ #16788: Thanks Liz. I've only ever done 3 and I think I'll stop at that score but this was my favourite. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #16807: Rubbish (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16796: Slave Lake a bit naughty and obscure - but good crossovers and categories. Not sure many would get the Candie group. 5/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16796: (5 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #11646: Vague as. Pen click, foods with toppings??? Wise up (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16727: Good grid, the Mandarin line was clever and I missed that one. Moral 7/10 (I didn't hit your exact search terms with the "French" group even though I knew it, so only scored 6/10). (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16798: That's proper gridding is that. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16793: I always thought a Pasty was made of pastry, 30 years catering wasted (5 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #16796: Great, well thought out grid. 10/10 for you, only 7/10 for me! (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16793: need to expand acceptable answers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

nimajneb @ #14592: oof, it is alright (5 years, 10 months ago)

soupy @ #16793: Mars is not a biscuit, Pasty not a pastry and answer of pub/bars should not be the same as two of the options. (5 years, 10 months ago)

AyUp @ #14627: Pretty decent (5 years, 10 months ago)

oof @ #14592: great one, could be a bit harder (5 years, 10 months ago)

wez @ #16221: . (5 years, 10 months ago)

ant bingham @ #16221: extremely confusing (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16798: A fun grid, lots of nice elements and overlaps, the Teardrop line was particuarly fun. Think the search terms for the Cooper line could have been expanded though to include more options, but still gave you 5*, cheers. (5 years, 10 months ago)

WTF @ #16781: You know you have the option of selecting Not Interesting to Most People - right? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16796: Great category got me as I couldn’t see around gatsby. Great fun! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16797: Checking to see if it works. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Dave @ #109: Terrible. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wtf @ #16545: Awful American connections (5 years, 10 months ago)

Liz T @ #16788: Hard to crack, great quiz (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16789: Dodgy (5 years, 10 months ago)

JJ @ #16792: Survive is misspelt (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16790: Agree with all comments - keep doing them - some turn out better than others as many of us can attest to with our own efforts. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16791: Yep - good one - quite easy, but fun. Did not get Chicago group definition (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16792: Nice idea wich didnt quite work ( also, wr for 100m hadn't been 9.95 for a while) (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gizbobs @ #16790: Take your point re Nicole, Lebamski. Still learning how to put these together. Ideally she'd have been the name of a companion, and someone with one of the companions' names would have had a fling with McCartney. Then it would all have clicked. Features and places? I don't think Victoria would be swallowing that as an answer :) (5 years, 10 months ago)

majkel @ #16240: "Mammals" should be also acceptable answer (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16790: The 'Nicole' group connection feels a bit too broad. Other than that an enjoyable grid with some nice crossovers. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #1419: A classic grid - it just for the double overlap but also notice the careful choices if non-overlap members to create red herrings. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Gizbobs @ #16775: It's the first one I've ever done. Most difficult part was knowing how difficult it was because, surprisingly, I had the answers. :-) Thanks for giving it a go and for the feedback. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Moosefight @ #16775: Man, I tried everything but Centipede for the centipede group. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Woodo @ #6140: said "cat" for last connection but marked incorrect (5 years, 10 months ago)

Jan @ #14270: Paul is not a book of the Bible, but a writer of epistles in the Bible. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Terra @ #2621: I really liked this wall. I think people should realise that these are user submitted and a lot of effort is put into each. And why should it matter if it didn't quite accept your answer? If you were right then you were still right. It's just a loss of imaginary points on a particular grid on a niche website... (5 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #16772: WTF!!! Petrol heads only may apply for this one. impossible! (5 years, 10 months ago)

dave @ #16772: WTF!!! Petrol heads only may apply for this one. impossible! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Tilmann @ #16772: Need more of those. Great fun. (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16774: Fun... thanks! 10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #12833: I loved this grid. Fairly easy for me because it’s fair and graceful. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16774: A fun theme - thanks. Scored 6/10, on another day and with better guessing it could have been 10. Cheers (5 years, 10 months ago)

Rantos @ #16772: Impossible for me. Though I did manage to get one row, I had no idea what it was. Hard not to admire the ingenuity! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Electric Blue @ #16773: Ok (5 years, 10 months ago)

Michael @ #16767: One of the lines is impossible for normal people and one is pedantic (5 years, 10 months ago)

Shane @ #16772: Good job, 2:16 not bad? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Simon @ #16772: Good set of choices and works fine on phone too. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Wile E. Peyote @ #16772: Intriguing possibilities for future challenges. I enjoyed this. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Electric Blue @ #16772: Checking...very good (5 years, 10 months ago)

Electric Blue @ #16772: My 2nd effort (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16769: Loved this one! Got Alexandra and Jackson groups in time, but the Schumacher (excellent group) & Stanley split evaded me, despite seeing the solutions. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Andy P @ #16690: Good one, quick and fun. Also only scored 7/10 as I wrongly guessed at "top" phrases, for the drawer line. Cheers mate. (5 years, 10 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16760: Fun grid. Nice to have you back. Any idea where the likes of E.L. Whisty and Blues have gone? I miss their grids. (5 years, 10 months ago)

andy @ #16768: A lot slicker than your previous grids (5 years, 10 months ago)

Electric Blu @ #16768: Trying it from my mobile...works brilliantly (5 years, 10 months ago)

Electric Blue @ #16768: My first Grid so I was just checking (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16765: I know what you meant with Swot, but... nice but straightforward if not for that (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16764: The tiny west end anomaly can't have been a major issue during solving (5 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #16765: A minor point but Kin is already plural - KIns is not a word (5 years, 10 months ago)

Ferrrgs @ #16763: Medium difficulty? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16764: Nearly left out 'west end' description (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16765: Fun and quite easy - I also wondered if SWOT was meant to be SWAT. SAG was OK (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #16764: Technically Olivier Theatre is not in the West End, so took me a while to work this out (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16764: yes - pepperoni is the big giveaway that helps (5 years, 10 months ago)

ME @ #16765: @Fridge I was aiming at the Screen Actors Guild, thinking that the SAG awards may have popularized the acronym. It may not have popularized as a noun, but it does look like an existing one. As far as SWOT goes, I must admit that was a mistake. I thought I had put SWAT, the American law enforcement unit. I don't suppose I coud change it now? (5 years, 10 months ago)

Pip @ #16428: Go and mark someone elses homework, this is supposed to be a game!!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #16764: Pepperoni, having absolutely nothing to do with anything else on the board made me hone in on pepper and then find the rest of the veggies. Didn't know the theatres, everything else was wonderful . (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #16765: Simple but fun. Only qualms; Sag and swot, never heard of either as acronyms. Googling gives me a few technical and VERY uncommon acronyms, Support And Gear and Stengths Weaknesses Opportunities and Threats. Are these what you mean? I've never heard of either. Neither have they integrated as common nouns, where scuba and sonar have. (5 years, 10 months ago)

ME @ #12225: Too easy. I did write authors, though, and it wasn't accepted. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Fred @ #16764: Too difficult (5 years, 10 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #16760: The nights are drawing in. Christmas is approaching. It's time to bring out some old chestnuts! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16760: Very nice and varied - as FG says - classic - took me a while. Was trying to make 'foot' work in Standing group. Pleased to have scored 5. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Faramir @ #16669: @Denethor I made this quiz for you... (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16751: Couldn't find a way in! 0/10 (5 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16756: Like giggsy, how was new to me. Tanner group not that obscure given one of its members I think (5 years, 10 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16760: Excellent - a classic grid! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Aetees @ #16757: Difficult to rate since I still don't understand it after seeing it resolved. (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16756: The "Tanner" group is pretty obscure but adds challenge. Overall an enjoyable grid with some good crossovers. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16759: A simple but enjoyable group with enough crossovers to make it interesting. Thanks! (5 years, 10 months ago)

DH @ #16747: Very good very hard. bravo (5 years, 10 months ago)

carol @ #3433: the contronyms line is utterly and totally obscure. better words could have been used. however, you looked these up - would you yourself ever have got this???!!!! (5 years, 10 months ago)

LARRYBIRD @ #16747: *NO DOGGIES!?!?!?!? (5 years, 11 months ago)

LARRYBIRD @ #16747: NO DOGGIES! (5 years, 11 months ago)

LARRYBIRD @ #14242: NICE DOGGIES (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16757: That finnished me off. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Danny @ #2769: This is ubershite, and I should know, because so am I (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16749: Got marked down on the Blackadder group for just saying 'titles'. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way of giving people a second chance to be more specific for giving a half-right answer? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela @ #16423: Sad (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16100: Loved it. 10/10 after some fiddling. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16101: Great as usual. Charlottes over-the top. Love it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16103: They also all end in a. Lovedthisgrid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16104: Good one. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16105: Just right for me, although I overthought on the paper category — if you remove the first letter of each word, you are left with another word (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3471: not beers. lagers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16106: Solved grid, not categories. Though I basically knew what they were. Fun to work on. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16526: Didn’t. Accept synonyms for the swipe one or professor for the shape one. Figured out the grid though not the categories, so satisfying and not. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3526: climate change conferences - ridiculously obscure (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16536: The chocolate category could just be sweets or dessert. I liked the box on e, even though I didn’t figure it out. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16532: 10/10. Fun and just right for me. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3536: numbers!!! daft (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16576: First 10/10 for awhile for me. Fun. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JW @ #16745: entering "re" and "er" told me it was incorrect for the prefixes (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16756: Joe - obscure (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16755: Specialised - got 2, purely by accident (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gunner @ #16713: 1) There's "Star" in Mustard so interchangeable with Marsh 2) I entered "Fruits" got incorrect because "Stone fruits/drupes" - pedantic much? (5 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #13152: Just about right - not to difficult (5 years, 11 months ago)

bob @ #16740: that's called a cygnet (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16743: Microbeam? Spent a good while looking for the fourth fly half, as was no doubt your intent (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16751: V clever, when you see it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16751: Scored zero. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3598: for goodness sake - check spelling. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3602: it is covetousness. lazy answers. and totally daft anagrams - cant see a connection nor the irony of them (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3612: the 'down' line could be, and equally sensibly, followed by 'up' (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3626: advocaat is not a liqueur (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16713: Agree with Andy about the Fruits but I did get the line he didn't but I put words containing planets and comet and it was incorrect. Too narrow answers I feel. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Old Alan @ #16662: Inaccurate. Network die6s not contain a hidden number. 'Net' is not s number. (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16742: Nice detailed explanations. Thanks. It's always good to learn something (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16740: "Swan" is obscure, because the normal word for a "swanling" is a "cygnet". I was sure the connection was going to be that they could be preceded by "black". (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16745: Too hard for me. Fun to see the connections. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16720: Tombless - without a tomb - bit vague I confess but it is a word (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16747: Rose - Too obscure - no-one knows that show. (5 years, 11 months ago)

nonsuch @ #8884: There isn't just one solution - cold and war are interchangeable and work in either of their groups. Cold fish, Cold War, Warmonger, Fishmonger (5 years, 11 months ago)

missyblaize @ #583: Good quiz. Didn't get the last connection but it is all good fun. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #3673: usual aggravation with answers. chocolate bars not accepted. neither was astral places...…. sigh, as ever (5 years, 11 months ago)

jim @ #11418: good one (5 years, 11 months ago)

ssbea @ #583: I put controls and got it wrong- but I suppose buttons makes more sense (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #2297: Fairly easy for me. Very enjoyable to work out (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16726: Liked the bo category. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16740: Don’t know gangling or swanking, though I wanted to guess what that was. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16611: In future I will just put synonyms for such categories. I’m a novice. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16744: Got groups, but didn’t know goof troop so only seven/ten. A morale booster! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16740: Agree (5 years, 11 months ago)

Ian SewellI @ #8355: About Right!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Ian SewellI @ #2297: Too easy. (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16743: Eastenders families? Where've I seen those recently!? TBF, you've employed them much better. Fine quiz! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #15955: 10/10 - very happy - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16740: Like this. The Swan answer might be a bit forced, but the others are good. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #16740: Ling was very forced (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #16739: Inconsistent methods of answering (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16720: What is Tom bless? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16721: The pen names one was the only one I got! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Chomp @ #583: chomp chomp (5 years, 11 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #8199: Love the mars group. Very clever. (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #3456: very good (5 years, 11 months ago)

A @ #16740: I thought this was pretty good. Some very nice connections like the anagram one, but the -LING was very forced. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gordon Ridout @ #15355: I enjoyed this one! (5 years, 11 months ago)

H @ #16733: First visit (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #6672: excellent (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #368: excellent helped that i recognised the king lear connections straight away (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #1708: nice idea. nameless and salesman aren't anagrams (should be salesmen) last set was clever (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #5633: nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #566: The missing vowels element gives this a unique challenge. I really enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16733: As others have said, the "Twirl" group lets this grid down as it's too broad, and also means there is more than one correct answer. Enjoyable until that connection was revealed though. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Moosefight @ #4155: Agree with Aidan McCarthy (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #566: 10/10 for the first time with a 'hard'. loved the missing vowels element greatest wall since the one in china (5 years, 11 months ago)

Andy P @ #16713: Good grid. Moral 7/10 as it didn't accept fruits for the fruits line. The hearthstone line was the only one I didn't get, very clever indeed. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Andy P @ #16622: Nice enough grid. Scored 4/10. Liked the Road line, that was well hidden but fair. Cheers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #683: very good (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gav @ #16733: more than one solution, based on one of the groups answer (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #6833: good one. 'relative' should be allowed for 'family member' (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #8355: nearly. missed the macartney connection (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #7062: good one (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16733: Agreed, the 'Twirl' group is a bit mean. Otherwise great. (5 years, 11 months ago)

revdup @ #16733: connection between 3rd group too obscure (5 years, 11 months ago)

x @ #16709: Planck and Ricardo spelt wrong. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16733: 'slang for marijuana'? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Brentmeister General @ #16714: That's the real quiz! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Nibbles @ #16729: @edwafrdo: damn, my bad! @Giggsy: thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16733: Can swap lion and twirl... (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #4155: Was very lucky with the jewellery cuts. Got the agents when the groups formed. I didn't mind the sports grounds - thought they were quite reasonable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #16732: Too obscure for me even after seeing the answers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #12552: Didn't recognise X-men apart from Wolverine. Should have just guessed. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #9687: Will try to be less lazy next time. Typing nato was insufficient. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Al Berta @ #16731: Tricky, but fun. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16731: The "Donkey" group feels unconvincing. A bit more variety in the type of connections would also have improved this grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Trisha @ #16723: I must be having a bad day because I found that difficult (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16731: Before or after isn't pleasing as a reveal. Best one or the other (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16732: Really good fun to do (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16727: Nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jo @ #11472: An interesting grid! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Yvonne @ #1679: Sorry but abracadabra uses two hands - the b is struck with right hand. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jo @ #11502: Enjoyable! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16731: Yep. Good grid. I assumed you made a mistake with the 'Fu' answer, but after googling, maybe not. Let us know anyway. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jo @ #11509: Some good red herrings! (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwafrdo @ #16729: It should be "Ode to my Family", not "Ode to my Father". I wasn't familiar with how "science" fit into its group, but that's my own fault! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16730: Too specialised imo - especially with two groups having same theme. So, for me not the best 'gird' ever (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16729: Didn't know the songs - some nifty crossovers - very nice grid (5 years, 11 months ago)

Londoneh @ #16730: Best gird ever (5 years, 11 months ago)

Stan @ #16707: Sorry about the detectives... (5 years, 11 months ago)

JJM @ #16724: Nice twist using the same song lyric twice in one grid. I know the song well, but using it twice stopped me making the second connect (5 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #1818: very easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Row57 @ #16682: Didn't accept English country estates or music festivals! (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16721: The James group could also be 'names of English kings'. There are at least 4 authors in there too... CS Lewis, EL James, EA Poe (a stetch, I know!!), AJ Finn so have to agree with Lebamski (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16696: Ranch seems a little out of place. Not bad overall. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16724: Straightforward if you know the lyric! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16721: Some very esoteric knowledge needed for at least one group. The pen names group feels too broad to really work. Some good ideas, but overall this felt unsatisfying to me. Sorry! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16724: Having so many clues that could fit into one connection, and having two very closely related connections, made this one a bit too much 'hit and hope' to really work. I enjoyed this grid overall though - thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

chris g @ #15499: the top green are also elements in greek mythology (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16719: Well yes... but They tend to be to hard for better reasons than, for example, the setter thinks 12 is a cube, or has forgotten the existence of aluminium actinium and americium. I rather like your wordy ones... (5 years, 11 months ago)

ZBJ @ #16614: Nice. I like the wordy ones. (5 years, 11 months ago)

ZBJ @ #16608: Solved the gris without knowing the K2 group; that was a cool group. 5 stars. (5 years, 11 months ago)

ZBJ @ #16560: Excellent. All were on the tip of my tongue but couldn't quite get it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16721: quite specialised (5 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #16695: class (5 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #16712: Shame about 'Carribean Ocean' otherwise prrtty good (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16719: I just fancied trying a number one - having struggled with them myself. I also think they tend to be too hard even if the explanations make the categories clear after the event - back to words I think!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16712: The Caribbean is a sea not an ocean. I'm also not keen on having the same character in twice, even if it's in different ways. Thanks anyway. (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16719: Too hard for this casual gridder (whose Beatles knowledge is evidently lacking). Kudos to those who get 10/10 here! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Pamela @ #16386: We wouldn't get that right (5 years, 11 months ago)

Me @ #16716: Pretty pathetic really (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16716: Hard to know where to begin --!! You need to practise more before publishing anything. This is just plain daft - amongst other things that disqualify it. Complete waste of time. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Fiona @ #16713: Brilliant by name, brilliant by nature (5 years, 11 months ago)

BingBong @ #16696: Didn't accept "big houses" (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16692: Great! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Person @ #16713: Easy quiz, but I was surprised by the Marsh group. Very interesting and unexpected! (5 years, 11 months ago)

ChrisRossRossChris @ #16694: Agreed. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16709: Agree - if it wasn't for no crossovers it would have been too dense for my small brain. Got no solutions due to not having the specialised knowledge - Permattivity - (like that matters!) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16712: Song lyrics a bit specialised imho - also Liner group, seems to be that it is better if the word that associates comes before or after all clue words - this was mixed. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16706: Thx Neil - enjoying yours a lot too. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16713: Too many Mario categories coming up these days for my liking - but I have never played it so... Good grid - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16709: Same as Mr Kneebridge. Puzzle too easy because, there are only 4 countries, only 4 surnames etc. Nice ideas in here though. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Joe Norman @ #16712: Very good. First time I've got 0 but then known them all once I saw the answers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #2661: very easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Joe Norman @ #16175: 7/10. Liked it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #16709: I solved the puzzle, but could not provide solutions, which makes a change. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #16701: Good crossovers whilst remaining achievable for a dunce like me. Good grid!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #16696: Didn't accept "mint", "abodes" or "dressing". As I have decided to award myself the points and therefore got 10/10 I have enjoyed this grid. Thank you!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16707: Didn't accept 'detectives fictional' either! Scuppered by syntax (or lack of commas) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16691: Some really nice ideas, but the execution is frustrating. As FG says, having one plural in the 'Angel' group feels like poor form just to construct a red herring for another group. The 'Candy' group feels too vague to be achievable, and the 'Bread' group also feels too loose to work. Keep working at the grids, as I've found things to appreciate in all of them so far, but this one as a whole didn't work for me. Sorry! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Kirstie @ #16693: Top tier wall (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16696: Didn't accept dressings... agree with ginger. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Kirstie @ #16694: 2 letter words is not an acceptable catergory. Period. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16707: 'detective' not accepted for the detectives group, and I recently did a very similar Rowan Atkinson group (although I can't hold this against you!) Otherwise a solid and enjoyable grid. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

x @ #16689: Not a unique solution - orange could swap with plum or peach (5 years, 11 months ago)

Pleb @ #16710: Awesome grid MONG! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Ragman @ #16707: Rowan Atkinson also played Gerald the gorilla in the famous ntnon sketch.... (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16706: 7/10. Failed on the stupid group, ironically. Nice quiz. (5 years, 11 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #16701: quite easy but nice grid :) (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #4832: never heard of veep and the middle sitcoms (5 years, 11 months ago)

jim @ #13910: 5/5 (5 years, 11 months ago)

jim @ #5344: quite easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16690: 7/10 but knew the backwards category. My wording didn’t match yours. Fun wordplay (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16700: Nice difficult and timely. Thank you. (5 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #1942: Timbo, those are the opposite of aliases. Those are their real names. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #15484: Tell us what the anagrams are of... least you could do. The guessing is supposed to be over at that point. (5 years, 11 months ago)

bonehead @ #16707: detectives should have been enough, pedantic to insist on fictional (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #15485: silly and broad (5 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #4956: Carol, please award yourself mental points when you get it right and the system is unaware. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16701: Nice one - 7/10 - didn't know Alison group - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #4892: total and utter rubbish. badly spelt. idiotic connections. taking the p..s I fear... (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #4956: unbelievably usual bad answer recognition. do NOT bother to create a grid and then not CREATE the correct answer ranges. insult to all (5 years, 11 months ago)

316 @ #16702: I hope you enjoy my grid :) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16373: colours are inconsistent and based on the order you crack them (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16410: Agree with Gofer - most of these people are not very well known (5 years, 11 months ago)

geoff @ #16695: sorry but it's arCtic circle (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16695: Apart from that, not at all bad... but this did ruin it for me (5 years, 11 months ago)

HETTY @ #10172: GOOD ONE. THANKS (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #220: I typed 'politicians' for gore, obama, mandela, and arafat. I guess not specific enough. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #11973: Scored 10/10, but kept trying to figure out what 'wollen' might be. Should Wollen be Woollen? (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #14199: Too obscure for me. 1/10 (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16599: Wonderful! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16423: Agree with first bit - not second bit. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #573: Very nice. Not hard, but liked realising that they all had the same form. That said "Lady of the ..." was only recognised while labelling groups. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #15242: more red herrings would have been nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16696: ditto - (cross would have been a good deceiver). Nice grid, thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16695: ditto. Spelling is important for obvious reasons - have fallen foul of this myself. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #1708: 7/10 Didn't recognise the Spoonerisms, but very enjoyable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #16680: Sorry, but I have to agree with Giggsy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16696: Never heard of ginger: cross would have been my choice :-p. Very good regardless (5 years, 11 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #16695: What is an Artic circle (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16689: Easy - unlike some (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16690: Good (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16695: Great quiz. Only slightly let down by misspelling of Arctic. (5 years, 11 months ago)

KV @ #16682: Please don’t ruin this site with such bad language. No reason for this. And it didn’t accept festivals for me either. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16671: Nice grid. Lovely cross overs. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16691: The pluralisation of pixies is somewhat contrived. Not sure on Manhattan either. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16689: Just a suggestion... don't put plurals in the solution. If you use the singular, it will also accept the plural but not the other way round. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16687: Not totally sure about the solution to the = group. Greek number prefixes surely. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16685: 18 seconds... likewise with Nut. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #4977: agree with j random user. my total bugbear re these enjoyable grids - the ANSWERS ARE OFTEN VERY POOR. I think the recognition of the answers is EQUALLY IMPORTANT as the grid.... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #16673: Lovely. Thank you (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5022: pity resetting is spelt wrong (5 years, 11 months ago)

Evelyn @ #16687: Surely Anan Athletic are in the town of Annan in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland? I' m no football expert though so I suppose they might be plsying in the English leagues for some reason? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16623: Enjoyed it. Thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Harrison Wittke @ #8000: Bit too hard for me (5 years, 11 months ago)

A. Atkinson @ #16685: Very good, but I typed in nut and it came up incorrect for some reason. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16680: Sorry but fmm Blood and Matcha groups were ridiculous. Matcha group inconsistent within itself. Impossible to do and therefore no fun. Not even fiendish - just unobtainable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

e @ #16681: test (5 years, 11 months ago)

isaac @ #16681: 7/10 because I could guess that they were Bible/Genesis characters, not so specific as sons of Abraham. Great quiz! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16687: The "=" group is a bit of a giveaway. But the rest was nice. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Anon @ #16608: Brilliant, loved the K2 group (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5122: wail and hoarse only works in certain parts of England!!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5131: case is definitely nonsense (5 years, 11 months ago)

Anonymous @ #1189: Very enjoyable - once you get the idea of the connections it is easier to unpick. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16678: Did you add what you thought they were synonyms for? I added lots of words that would be accepted on purpose, just not the word 'synonym' (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16685: ColOmbia! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #16673: Fun (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16682: Didn't accept festivals (SXSW isn't purely open air or purely music) or Peanuts characters. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16680: Generally well crafted, and I like the connections - but by having nine clues that could potentially fit into one group, this became a bit too labyrinthine to be achievable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16678: Otherwise it was good! I probably don't say that enough (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16678: Ditto. Also maybe the Day group wanted something longer in - I picked ut out on length alone! When I used it in a grid I used flower iirc :-p (5 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #16682: festivles worked for me mungbean nd its stately homes you silly cunt (5 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #16682: festivles worked for me mungbean nd its stately homes you silly cunt (5 years, 11 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16682: didn't except Festivals or Famous Houses (5 years, 11 months ago)

soupy @ #16662: Why is John not an acceptable answer? Ruined my day, maybe even my life. (5 years, 11 months ago)

neilb4god @ #16680: Maybe I'm out of practice, but to me this seemed more fiendish than merely hard. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gunner @ #16678: First one doesn't accept "synonyms" as rationale.... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Shlif @ #2511: Doesn't take "football", "anagram", or "nic". (Cage is "Nic Cage", not "Nick Cage") (5 years, 11 months ago)

Shlif @ #13155: Nice, though I wish it had accepted "razors" (5 years, 11 months ago)

Denethor @ #16669: Boromir would have made a better grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #16662: "john" not an answer? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16611: Synonyms wasn't accepted for the cut group but that is what they are. You don't have to draw blood it depends what you attack. As below the other group are homophones for keys, signs, writes but I don't agree with prince, which has appeared before in this tenuous context, and I don't think they are ways of writing. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16677: Got all except airbag category - good one (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16578: Synonyms wasn't accepted for the jumping movements (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16577: There are two lines of synonyms but that explanation was not accepted. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gunner @ #16523: A+ for Quentin Tarnatino clue (which I did not get) But doesn't accept the word "the" for first - not good enough. Lol, bell end. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gunner @ #16527: A piano is a string instrument - point granted. "Music/musical instrument" is more of a common theme there rather than string. Too pedantic. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16221: Got anything a little more specialised....!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gunner @ #16564: Accidentally gave the difficulty a five star rating...sorry that'd be a 1. Also, Ade, in isolation maybe not, but combined with chips, ic & donuts....there is only one link between the four. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16675: Didn't know the 3 group as not my era - but got the others. Nice grid - thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16672: Rare 10/10 for me - nice categories - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gunner @ #16623: Had to Google claddagh (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16677: Nice one (5 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #16677: Good but a bit easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #16614: oo (5 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #16624: meh (5 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #16624: meh (5 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #16624: (5 years, 11 months ago)

Daniel @ #16670: very good for the red herrings (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16662: Curtain group particularly clever. But I couldnt see what the network group had to do with the rest of the grid (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16669: Tough ( tho the Clooney group stuck out) but fair and inventive (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16670: Some good (eyes group). For me the Korean group stuck out too much: It meant I could readily resolve the grid without even knowing what all of the groups were, which is rarely a good sign. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5514: so glad other people feel like me re poor answer ranges. the answers are as important as the grids. full whack part of the game, and the joy of doing the grids (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16581: names are a bit iffy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16621: Very nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16622: very nice - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16623: yes - good one and easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16625: Freddie doesn't work in that group as described. Cruises is just silly (5 years, 11 months ago)

LucyB @ #16626: Really hard! Managed to get correct link for the groups but didn't get a single.correct grouping in the time limit as so many crossovers. Also wasn't aware wrench was a cluedo weapon Good though (5 years, 11 months ago)

irritated @ #1396: not for your transatlantic friends. We don't have such a thing as a 'full mattress' over here in Britain (5 years, 11 months ago)

irritated @ #798: the toxic metals are also elements. (5 years, 11 months ago)

irritated @ #8094: same letters = incorrect (5 years, 11 months ago)

irritated @ #11636: electronics = incorrect tv manufacturers = correct. Weird! (5 years, 11 months ago)

irritated @ #11168: film genre = incorrect. movie genre = correct. (5 years, 11 months ago)

irritated @ #5983: Input bear - incorrect. Answer was 'bears'. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #3757: I can't really complain, but I'd prefer not to have 3 groups where each group requires a following word. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #566: Got 7 points. The 'line' category was the one I missed. 'Obvious' once told the answer. Clearly I have trouble thinking outside the box :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #204: Country specific jargon (in this case road crossings) make it more difficult for people not from that country. I just entered "publishers" which was accepted. Android and Linux are operating systems that have several versions. Leopard and Vista are individual versions of Mac OS X and Windows respectively. (5 years, 11 months ago)

playful @ #1875: The groupings were fine. Ignore people who cannot be polite. (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16623: 10/10 lemon squeezy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Darren @ #14777: The answer "cosmetics" was not accepted for group Highlighter, Mascara, Lipstick, and Powder. (5 years, 11 months ago)

ace deception @ #16593: am i the first person to do this puzzle? wild! I liked it tho- tough! (5 years, 11 months ago)

ace deception @ #16253: sooooooooo easy tho (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16618: Thanks for playing. It's so hard to know how to pitch things. One person's easy is another person's difficult. (5 years, 11 months ago)

UKOK @ #16416: What a stupid, irritating grid - unless you're a Hindu geographer it's awful. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16611: Aah. “Too eager” (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16611: Bad mistake on the homophone. How can I change that?too even anger to put it in circulation. And yes I meant prince for prints and quays for keys and and sines for signs. Perhaps I need to refine the connective answer. Thx. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Faramir @ #16661: "Mammals" was a bit harsh... also I said "alternate worlds" and was rejected. Good one though! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Grimace @ #16618: Not really, I just wasn't sure what the difference was. I don't think I came close to solving it anyway. (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16622: 5/10 I liked it. "Hand in" maybe a bit tenuous. Thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Elaine @ #16623: Liked this one. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5649: oh dear my bugbear.…. correct answers marked incorrect. I truly find the lack of care over the answers incredibly annoying. please don't make a grid if half of it is treated as nothing to work on. answers are as important as the grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5654: what????????????????? (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5657: you are all so nice, so, sorry, thot the homophone line was silly.... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16625: Nice idea, easy once you spot the theme but you can't avoid that. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16623: Unfortunately while rarer, there are also nose rings (especially for cattle) (5 years, 11 months ago)

rachael @ #16618: Jolly good grid. Difficult! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Adamn @ #422: Tom Brady.... Brady Bunch? anyone? (5 years, 11 months ago)

rachael @ #16625: Tricky! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Adamn @ #347: eh (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #5752: isn't misspelt words the same as words which are spelt wrong (or wrongly perhaps?) poor range of definitions - I bang on all the time that the definitions are EQUALLY important as the grid itself to create a satisfactory and enjoyable quiz game. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Adamn @ #345: Great wall. Really thought there would be a category about groups of animals. Not a fan of the Grail clue. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #16623: I'm surprised I got 10/10 on this one! Well done (5 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #16602: Cup sizes should be accepted, as should batteries. Tricky one (5 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #16611: Should be homophone instead of homonym, nice one otherwise (5 years, 11 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #16614: Giggsy - I consider myself suitably admonished :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16615: The mouth group was fab, although more suited to an OC final where VC prompts for a more specific description than just body parts. (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16620: Obvious when you see it solved but tricky to do so! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Johnny @ #16615: Agreed. Body parts cannot be wrong. (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16600: I hadn't noticed that! Bonus point for you :-) Hopefully it didn't affect your ability to group them, just the points for the whys. (5 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #10764: BRILLIANT (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #772: Fun (5 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #16611: Quays, Prince, writes aren’t really ways of writing things down. It’s a leap to say a “writers” is a way of writing something down (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #2655: Nice categories with good overlaps. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #9067: Got it. Just pulled through on Jim Carrey. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16607: tough but fair. Got me. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16615: The head category could also be body parts? (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16618: The Queen's Guard is a specific group of people - the soldiers in bearskin hats - whereas royal guard is a more generic job title but I see your point that it's a bit samey. Did it make it harder to solve or just less satisfying? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16614: Really nice groups. Didn't get Wall and Ceiling groups. Wall group devilishly clever and naughty - go to the naughty step (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16615: Got none but it was well created - Mouth was good (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16618: Same question - but good groups (5 years, 11 months ago)

threeferrets @ #16617: excellent! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Orelinde71 @ #16611: How is "Prince" a synonym for writing? Bit ambitious if you're saying it sounds like "prints"... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Orelinde71 @ #16615: The most niche musicals ever! The "mouth to mouth" set is clever (5 years, 11 months ago)

Orelinde71 @ #16584: The "Caesar" cut and the Toy Story links threw me! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Coochies @ #5633: That's made my day (5 years, 11 months ago)

Coochies @ #8441: Absolutely outstanding, well done. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Nitpick @ #2843: I think that ABBA and IKEA can be interchanged - both are Acronyms and both are associated with Sweden. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16608: Really liked the K2 group. Didn't get it, but really liked it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16600: Well constructed. One small quibble is that the Net group could all preceded Ball as well. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16616: Well done for updating to remove the multiple correct solutions! If I didn't know the answers from previous versions I would have found this very tricky indeed. A real challenge - thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #16612: Evil!! - But fair- Good grid (even though I blanked it...) (5 years, 11 months ago)

bunny @ #16615: I liked the wordplay clues :) (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16612: A real toughie. Could not see the groups but got all solutions except collide group once resolved. Well constructed. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16613: Groups easy to spot but three solutions so specific - definitely require specialist knowledge (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16616: not as difficult as appeared at first glance - well set (5 years, 11 months ago)

Shlif @ #16616: A correction of 16603 and 16604, which had been broken (in that two of their answers could have been switched and still fit the categories). (5 years, 11 months ago)

Shlif @ #16603: You're entirely right, Lebamski - sorry about that! I'm going to upload a corrected version and try to sink the score of this broken one. (5 years, 11 months ago)

alicoo @ #10287: This is ridiculous Put man said it was wrong then showed "right" answer which was man ????????? (5 years, 11 months ago)

alicoo @ #10289: I chose UK based grids, we don't use booth! Bolton school ????????????? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #16431: Which Close is in Star Wars? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #16457: Isn't 'buck' American slang not British? Or am I just not down with the kids...? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #16465: Never heard 'to monkey' as time-wasting. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #16479: Ideal gas? If you say so... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jake @ #16484: Peep? I guess it's slang but I've never heard it for person. Peeps I've heard for people as it shortens the sound, but peep isn't a phoneme in person so it doesn't really work. Also Milligan poet is an odd way to put it. Why not just Milligan seeing as Spike Milligan is his name? (And he wasn't just a poet, he was best known as a comedian). (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16608: The K2 group felt very Only Connect :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lillie @ #16485: Wasn't the lowest level in the feudal system a 'serf'? They might effectively have been treated like slaves, but I don't think they were called that. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lillie @ #16506: Paganism is a religion officially, so I don't think you can put it as non-believers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

B @ #16610: Good grid! IMHO, the double consonant connection is a little tenuous. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16269: I think you all have this well covered (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lillie @ #16514: What's a sing sing? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #16514: A straw is kitchenware? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Frankie @ #16584: Enjoyed this one (5 years, 11 months ago)

Den @ #10072: hyenas and beavers are not nocturnal ive seen them out in the day time (5 years, 11 months ago)

Frankie @ #16599: Meh (5 years, 11 months ago)

Frankie @ #16600: Loved this (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16558: Very nice - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16562: A few tenuous links. It is Casablanca - one word (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16559: Got none - though Melbourne was a tenuous addition to that group (5 years, 11 months ago)

KVR @ #4165: Did not recognise Billy when I typed it in. And yes, it’s Billie Piper anyway. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16576: Aren't they homophones not homonyms? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Els @ #16589: nice easy grid (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16577: concur (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16580: Head group too vague imho (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16587: Some very nice decoys going on. Got me on some of them (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16594: Letters a bit random. They could connect in many other ways (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16595: Buffet - probably need to be American to get that (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16600: Nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16598: Likewise - didn't see it and fell for collar red herring. Very good. Logical. Thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16599: Pretty specialised. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Els @ #16530: Pointless grid - waste of time - completely tenuous connections (5 years, 11 months ago)

Albert Hall @ #16521: Thanks Kitty; it was always meant to be desert not dessert and was intended to be another twist. (5 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #16602: Liked it. Small issue with the link words though. Doesn't accept batteries or acronyms. Also CCCP triple barreled? (5 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #16603: Nice idea. Liked it (5 years, 11 months ago)

twiddlepin @ #5633: Like it. Nice set of groups. (5 years, 11 months ago)

twiddlepin @ #1875: Really good. Well done. Ignore the nasty comments from the likes of The Wallmaster. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Gabriel Jungo @ #16543: (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16602: A near duplicate of #16603. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16603: A brilliant idea for a grid, such a shame that there is more than one correct solution which ruins it. E.g. "D" and "AA" could swap groups, as could "C" and "AA". I look forward to seeing your future grids though, as this is a great effort. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16598: Too hard for me but totally fair once it resolved. Well done. (5 years, 11 months ago)

MJH @ #5890: Beatles songs are interchangeable with a category of “girls names” (5 years, 11 months ago)

tony @ #11446: the o answer is great... did for me (5 years, 11 months ago)

rachael @ #16596: I don't agree that Khaki is a shade of yellow (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #16550: No harm, No foul.....we've all fudged up at some point (5 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16546: Want to know what i scored? Nein (5 years, 11 months ago)

DH @ #16548: I think i might have got the triangular numbers if given a complete sequence e.g 6, 10, 15, 21 (5 years, 11 months ago)

TheGame @ #16596: The mercury group does not accept an obvious answer. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #16577: Shuttlecock is not a ball. Badminton is not a ball game (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lynne Dixon @ #16597: Bit too American. Freeway etc, clasdis 6??? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16543: Fun to solve but the connections need to be shortened. Eg I put genre and it didn’t take because you required genres of literature (5 years, 11 months ago)

Otto @ #16601: Those are not synonyms for exact or for each other. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16548: Knew two groups but couldn’t get them right. Other two too hard for me but I gave it a good try (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16554: (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jenn @ #16601: Never heard of 3/4 of those cereals! (Are they American?) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16558: Only the little people stumped me. Great Fun! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16559: Too hard for this murican! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Otto @ #16592: I know the Obamas had two daughters but the name Obama is hardly as widely associated with sisters as the other three names in that group. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16574: Team? Easy to solve grid. I knew the connections for adidas et al but used brand? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16577: The cover group could be synonyms for top or cover, not just for a container. I found this a good tricky grid. Thx. (5 years, 11 months ago)

jefco @ #16550: Oh god i stuffed up! I didnt realise i put twist twice sorry guys. One of the twists was meant to be "Patty". I double checked before submitting too so maybe im losing it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

B @ #16558: Great grid! Did better on that than expected. 10/10 (5 years, 11 months ago)

waalkes @ #6421: beauty (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16521: Excellent grid. Thank you. Desert does work. Either a sandy place or to abandon, (5 years, 11 months ago)

gc @ #16521: sorry but it's dessert (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16578: Nice grid. Thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

jeddy @ #4359: Well we answered 'forms of debt' for one of them but that was not accepted. Let the record show that we are owed some points. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Ade @ #16564: Chocolate is not junk food!!!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #16577: Top (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16548: Two connections are fine, the other two are far too esoteric to be achievable. It's hard to get the balance right with all-number grids, and ultimately this is just too tricky to be enjoyable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16578: The 'High' group stumped me. A nice simple grid with a well balanced level of challenge. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Row57 @ #16516: Is pink a shade of Pink? Didn't accept apples (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rach @ #16556: Aw flashback to my childhood. Bonus points for including the incomparable 'Willo The Wisp'. (5 years, 11 months ago)

elwoodsmum @ #8618: The first group should accept any grain crop (5 years, 11 months ago)

R @ #16563: (5 years, 11 months ago)

rachael @ #16576: Very good! I liked the homonyms :) (5 years, 11 months ago)

rachael @ #16557: Didn't understand the Rock bit (5 years, 11 months ago)

rachael @ #16558: Great grid! Thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

otto waalkes verehrer @ #11691: sehr schön! auch wenn ohne falsche fährten. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16558: Very good one... thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16560: Excellent... but never thought of you as one for 'girl power'! 7/10... just couldn't see the Irish connection. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16559: A few red herring groups which threw me off the scent. A simple but well-constructed grid which I enjoyed. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

bunny @ #16531: The Brexit one requires rather specific political knowledge. The boats one seems to be all misleading puns. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16543: The Reflective group seems a little tenuous. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16554: Nice grid, I liked it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lyndon @ #16548: first one easy - rest impossible and stupid (5 years, 11 months ago)

randoir @ #4308: I put in con and got an incorrect answer (5 years, 11 months ago)

Nibbles @ #16557: I've made one very small typo in the options - sorry. "Shame" should read "Sham". (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16549: This needed a lot more care to work. Duplicate clues should always be avoided, and some of the connections are too vague. Some good ideas here, but not well executed. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16556: "bear" not accepted for the bears group. Other than that a simple but effective grid. Thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

bob @ #16549: silly (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonnyTheRed @ #16525: Brilliant....hard but loved it (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16543: Not sure how refrain fits into its group... (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16544: 4 UK number 1 singles doesn't equate to a O-H-W! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #16550: Some nice ideas here, but ultimately let down by far too many crossovers, and using the same word twice in a grid is poor form, twice in one line is blasphemy....C+ :) (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16549: I'm sorry, but this just didn't work for me on a number of levels. The solutions are too specific, quality appears twice, capitalisation is inconsistent and didn't spot any crossovers. Don't give up though! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Chubby Checker @ #16550: Twist overload more like! (5 years, 11 months ago)

jefco @ #16550: Crossover overload sorry. I hope it is enjoyable to some. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Coolio @ #16548: Great, numbers only, working in all languages. (the text written form of ne numbers are not important) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Coolio @ #16547: Cool, another german one, more difficult. Again, without profound knowledge of the german language no fun ;-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16540: Actually, no: i spotted emerald and miss but could not see anything else with that prefix . Odd red herring, i thought. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Coolio @ #16546: Great, a german one! But no use if you aren't good in German. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Edwardo @ #16544: Found this quite easy. Shaggy really doesn't belong with the others in that group when you read the specific link. But the grid was lenient enough (5 years, 11 months ago)

Coolio @ #16545: Wonderful, works in every language! (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #16227: coffees with last letter missing - is WRONG! the correct answer is coffees with the last letter removed!!!!! the answers should be considered an integral (and equally important as the grid creation) part of the game and all possibilities covered. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #16540: I'm sorry xd (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16523: End.... classy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16520: Fun grid - but agree with JonBob - 'Act' would have worked just as well and kept them all singular. (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16523: I think we're in a Jam does anyone know the Cure? (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16540: No. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16526: Rob and Nick are interchangeable, so there are not 4 unique rows. (5 years, 11 months ago)

urmom @ #16527: ur too harsh (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16533: Todd doesn't listen to NPR either (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16517: Bridge card game terms wasn't accepted. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16515: Astronomical features not accepted for space! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16498: Good grid. It's nice to complete one in time and get full marks every now and then. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16490: But biblical names wasn't accepted. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16531: Couple of tenuous groups that would be hard to know or guess (5 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #16519: Fantastic! Never seen so many herrings XD good job (5 years, 11 months ago)

Fridge @ #16526: Was fun, solved most of it. But it didn't accept 'professor' (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16514: 5/10 shoulda done better. Having done time in Sing Sing. Good grid warts and all (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16517: Nice and easy, thank you! (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16532: what's "daysick"? And "bad day"? All a bit random. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Todd @ #16533: I had no idea what 14 out of 16 things were on the list. (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16533: 3/10, not literate enough, guess I should listen to more NPR (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16536: lemon squeezy, lovely and girly, well done (5 years, 11 months ago)

Wilson P @ #16525: Pretty tricky and specialised knowledge required, but really liked it (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16532: Thanks. I didn't get them all but I enjoyed it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jay @ #2297: 'Avian' does not work in place of 'birds', otherwise cool wall (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jeni @ #728: small time? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jeni @ #519: Wait, how do Americans pronounce laboratory? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jenis @ #1739: Tricky with the American words to translate, but easy enough once you've done that. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16523: Shadow doctors hung me up for a while. Nice. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16530: You could argue that there's no unique solution and the Salvatore group seems a little tenuous (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16520: easy peasy lemon squeezy, but aren't there 9 muses? (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16522: Quite good teasers, but... haven't I seen it before? (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16520: Nice! I'll quibble with "acts" not fitting into its group because of the plural. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Grimace @ #16510: That was a good one. I got it with 4 seconds left but assumed the new town group were all racing drivers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16519: I liked the crossovers on this one. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Orelinde71 @ #16498: Very nice - I couldn't guess the "Forth" group. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #16522: Nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16522: Simple but satisfying (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16506: I'm not sure that those who subscribe to the system of Pagan beliefs would appreciate be deemed non-believers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16510: An emetic assists emissions from the other end ! ;-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #13037: Presumably this is hilarious if you're a 14yo boy who doesn't get out much... (Not enough eye rolls in the world). (5 years, 11 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #16498: v nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #16510: Crashed and burned, but superbly clever (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16514: @Hubby yeah it is (was?) A prison I'd not heard of straw as kitchenware though! Good 8ndividual groups: not sure of they fitted together (5 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #16514: Probably me being dim but is Sing Sing really a thing (thing)? Otherwise good grid!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16518: Dudley not a surname and Not sure what that group added. It didn't really cause confusion with Dynamo and friends (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16517: Some good stuff here. Personally I try to avoid group's like the star one because they could all fit in the planet one. (also it's been done to death) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #16504: I out cudgels instead of blunt weapons. As it means the same I'll take the point:-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #10647: ridiculously bad (5 years, 11 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #16508: very nice (5 years, 11 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #16510: Good (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16474: easy peasy lemon queasy (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16510: clever (5 years, 11 months ago)

TheGame @ #16508: Excellent. Especially because the apparent red herring turns out not to be one after all! (5 years, 11 months ago)

TheGame @ #16510: That group should NOT accept emetic, because they aren't, and emetic is not a synonym of the actual solution. Btw, there is no third group. Order is based on solving sequence. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #16498: Epic. I enjoyed this challenge, did not complete it though. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #13465: Good grid, thank you. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #16485: Good grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #16474: Really enjoyable, thank you. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #7557: Group 1. Biblical characters not recognised - rubbish! Group 4. Nobel prize winners. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #7757: Onomatopoeia could be noises! Cage,cat,play and bull can all be followed by fight. Think key words in answers could be better. A fun grid, thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #14778: Clever! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #14654: First group should accept collective noun! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sally K @ #16510: Third group should accept emetic (5 years, 11 months ago)

Raggetty @ #3712: Very good (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16509: I know - far too specialised - don't be too harsh. I can't help myself, sitting here in my 55 year old anorak. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Raggetty @ #186: Very good (5 years, 11 months ago)

Raggetty @ #1396: Good but too easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Raggetty @ #6140: Good but very easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Raggetty @ #184: Good but easy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16507: Essex and High ( it's Hi?) Felt a bit too much of a stretch. Shame cause some nice ideas (5 years, 11 months ago)

Colm @ #16506: Infidels no Infidel for Dylan album. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16497: Bit harsh on it just for the word 'script' - which I didn't get anyway. I liked it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16506: Liked 'Cross' group. Agree with Mr Tom. Didn't accept 'Non Religious or non believers' - and names group was tenuous as at least two are known by their other (actual) names. Capitals? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16497: Beat me to it. The manic group.was clever, but nonuniqueness ruins it (5 years, 11 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #16497: Unfortunately, the solution is not unique: 'Script' can be used as both a noun and a verb and both 'Press' and 'Man' can be followed by 'ure'. Very nearly a great grid, but not quite. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16480: Solid. Pretty easy except for one comparatively obscure group. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16506: Ok, though the names and the unbelievers stood out a bit (5 years, 11 months ago)

Flan @ #16484: I know "peeps" is sometimes used as short for people, but I don't think you'd ever use the singular "peep" to mean a person. Doesn't sound right to me anyway. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16504: Marathon being what it was was quite a shock :=) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Evelyn @ #16504: Good grid - just one wee thing - it' s Irn Bru😁. Otherwise it was challenging and fun IMO. (5 years, 11 months ago)

twiddlepin @ #16498: A quick solve but very neat. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16490: Get rich quick is also a game show so can be swapped with pyramid (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16491: Carbuncle group very specialised (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16490: I liked this one. It might have needed another biblical character to make it more challenging. Still enjoyed it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16480: Meant gridders in last comment. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #16480: First I’ve put a grid in. No idea how grinders would find it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #1601: Plastic age? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16480: The reds did for me! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16474: Great grid. Enjoyed it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

RBR45 @ #16484: liked that - once got first one, the rest followed (5 years, 11 months ago)

TheGame @ #16365: Great JOB, you fiend! ;) (5 years, 11 months ago)

TheGame @ #16439: The grid itself is easy, but the accepted solutions are way off; in the case of the hdmi group, the given solution is even wrong. (5 years, 11 months ago)

TheGame @ #16483: Welp, I learned something about Sundae(s). Well done. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Matthew @ #16191: This is dreadful (5 years, 11 months ago)

Matthew @ #16178: Utter horror (5 years, 11 months ago)

Guess Who @ #14886: This was a great grid because... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #3454: Found the connections quickly, fun exercise. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Rantos @ #114: I typed jugs and it was incorrect. Loved this impossible puzzle. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16482: Hmmmm (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16484: Good one (5 years, 11 months ago)

tony @ #16452: very clever (5 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #186: nice grid (5 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #6140: quite easy, but well constructed (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #16470: Great stuff, exactly the level of difficulty that is challenging but makes it solvable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #4736: Very good! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #6692: Banana hammock??? And "can all be typed using the top line of a QWERTY keyboard" is perhaps only a little less tenuous than "can all be typed using a QWERTY keyboard". (5 years, 11 months ago)

Joan @ #16475: I could see what the grids should be, bit couldn’t complete the groups! (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16470: Nice play on expectations! (5 years, 11 months ago)

anthony @ #16470: a good grid , (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16464: "Proceeded," not "preceded," so it's kosher. "Followed" would probably be a better word choice, though. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16463: The duplicated word is a problem. Liked the "apron" group, though, as it has lots of interesting potential terms that can fit in it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16462: Only thing wrong with that group is mixing compound words in with phrases; it's cleaner with only one or the other. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16457: Some nice ideas and I appreciate the effort! Echo Giggsy's comment (it's not a hard-and-fast rule but certainly makes for a stronger link). I feel the "quid" and "stare" groups could be tighter as well; there are a huge number of things that can fit in those groups, so look for something slightly more specific that connects the items to make the solution more rewarding. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16467: Of course this relatively easy wall was built off of that extremely difficult connection. Another thing I was tabling for that fiendish wall was words with unique properties such as dreamt being the only word ending in MT or sestettes being the only word which contains 3 letters thrice, but as you can see that connection is vague at best and impossible at worst. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16466: *setting (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16452: One of the best I've seen in a long while! Bravo! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16466: I was also kind of worried about the English sausage myself but I asked a couple people and they thought it was valid. Must be a North American thing. My apologies for not looking into that either. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16466: Oh dear what a blunder..... that’s what you get when you setvin the middle of the night.... my dearest apologies. The remaining clue would have been Tangier. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Only Me @ #16470: Nice to do. Thanks. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Sausage Fan @ #16466: I thought that the 'sausage' connection was a bit weak. The term 'Italian sauasge' seems to be a North American term covering a wide variety of Italian-style sausages, and Wikipedia also tells me that the actual names of Hungarian sausage include Kolbász, Hurka or Téliszalámi. But as a Brit, I take particular exception to the idea of an 'English sausage' - you're probably refering to the humble linked pork sausage, but there are many varieties of that available, and what about the tasty Cumberland or Lincolnshire sausage? Yum. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16471: "spider-man" not accepted for the Spider-Man group. Some quite esoteric knowledge needed, and a couple of groups too similar. A bit more care needed to make this work. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #16466: And despite all that attention, you still put 'Reading' on the grid twice. Oops! :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lyndon @ #16468: River Umber - wheres that (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16471: Yeah, the chances of me actually writing that about a grid involving x-factor are kinda slim, especially one I hadn't attempted. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JK @ #16464: Your explanation says "time" can precede the last group, but the last group precedes time. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16467: When designing this grid I originally had an absolutely fiendish word related wall with categories like trigrams that are 3 consecutive letters (lABCoat, DEFy, touGHIe (as a joke), and hydroXYZine), words which are the longest of something (strengths (longest word with one vowel), lollipop, sweaterdresses, typewriter (longest words you can type with the left hand, right hand, and top row of the keyboard)). Words which are the shortest of their kind (Io (shortest word with 2 syllables), luge (shortest winning spelling bee word), eunoia (shortest word which all vowels) for example. This of course, wasn't used because of iouea and lack of ideas. I imagine if I made the grid as originally intended I would be getting flamed left right and centre as I wanted it to earn its Fiendish rating. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #16466: When it came to developing this grid I wanted to have two false categories, languages and bending arts in Avatar the last Airbender. I ended up scrapping the latter for being esoteric but you can still see remnants of it with earth and blood being there. Categories that were tabled but not chosen included Heavy ___ because I liked how it worked for both water and metal. Ultimately I chose not to include it because I couldn't sneak a language in there. Another category I was considering was White ___ with water and Russian. The last category I cut was Black ____ with water (a somewhat obscure term for liquid waste from coal or from toilet water), Russian (More obscure than White Russian), light, and metal. I ultimately did not include it as Russian sausage could be included in the sausages and black blood could be argued as valid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

J @ #16464: Don't think I'd have got the PM link anyway but would argue that if Lore is being described as a homophone of Law(r) then it is incorrect as adding a lazy r to Law shouldn't be allowed otherwise all sorts of dialects will be allowed for homophones and that will lead to anarchy and a complete breakdown in society as we know it. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16464: Good one - nice homophones - thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

Midge @ #16450: I love you Mister Tom. Good grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Tony @ #11996: king lear answer is brilliant... (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16464: Clever homophones but mixed the time connection. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16458: Didn't accept sailing terms! (5 years, 11 months ago)

N.Ewbie @ #16450: Very clever - more please! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Zplig @ #16452: Agreed with the issue of connections. But knowing that I was correct is good enough for me :p (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16457: Idea with added words is that they go before or after, not both. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16462: Good. Not sure about Block group (5 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #16443: Hi Mr Tom! Great grid, thankyou? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Baz @ #16452: Weak- correct link wasn't recognised as correct (5 years, 11 months ago)

Onlythelonely @ #6692: One of the best so far, some excellent crossovers. Tutu could fit in three categories... in fact you could switch Tutu with Pirouette to make it even more fiendish (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16456: Simple but effective with some nice crossovers, thanks. My lack of knowledge regarding the "Molly" group meant I didn't spot that connection (but I'm not too worried about that!) (5 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #583: 'Playback Controls' wasn't accepted as an answer for one category, which I feel is a bit stingy. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #16431: Excellent grid. Some tough red herrings! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16450: Enjoyable with some nice variety. I agree with Eagleeyes, but also think you've done enough to make this a worthwhile grid. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16452: A clever idea, it's just a shame that none of my correct answers for the connections were accepted! It spoiled what was otherwise an enjoyable grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #16450: It is very difficult to come up with new themes but some of these have been done so often it makes it very easy for a seasoned gridder. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16437: I know - just couldn't manage it and I thought it would be right to have at least one grouping that was relevant (5 years, 11 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16443: Very good - (I used to be in Bread - who did I play?) (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #6096: what's a bracket foot and a bun foot? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Krista @ #14733: Re-categorise as VERY easy!! (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16446: I like grids like this but there isn't a single solution in my book. The car group is obscure and could be several other things, musical notes for example, so it's very hard for someone to get that point. (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16444: Beau Bridges the actor is one example. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Dizz @ #16443: Good grid - a bit simple though! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16438: Very simple, but good fun. Take care on your accepted answers, as a couple of my correct answers weren't accepted. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16444: A very enjoyable grid. Not sure about Bow though, is that a thing? (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16440: A challenging grid. Just take care on making the explanations and accepted answers as clear and accurate as possible, as has already been said. I enjoyed this grid though, thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16441: Some nice crossovers. An enjoyable and challenging grid. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16443: Simple but effective. Some great crossovers make this challenging but fun. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Lebamski @ #16444: An excellent grid. The right balance of identifiable groups and crossovers. Thanks! (5 years, 11 months ago)

MG @ #16438: Good starter (5 years, 11 months ago)

Polly @ #16063: A climbing frame and a sandpit are not "activities". This group are more accurately described as "things found in a playground". (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16437: Very nice! Would be perfect if you found a replacement for the "pumpkin" connection. Seeing that revealed felt like quite a letdown after the rest. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Grimace @ #16441: Not a bad grid but I found it confusing that McKinley and Trotsky were referred to only by their last name when others were referred to by their full name. Made me think it must be part of a connection that wasn't there. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16439: Fibonacci was its best point I thought! There was too little interplay though - these sorts of grids work best when there are groups with both letters and numbers in them (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16429: @ 2 Cleverbyhalf yeah, I actually considered putting them both in when thiinking of things for C, then got distracted and forgot. Given the arguable ambiguity I should have remembered :-( (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16440: homophones didn't affect my score as I didn't see the connection! A good challenge... gave myself an extra point for alcoholic drinks, which wasn't accepted. (5 years, 11 months ago)

twiddlepin @ #16440: Thanks Mister Tom. I did indeed. Apologies to anyone who loses points as a result! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16440: I think you mean homophones not homonyms. Not bad though (5 years, 11 months ago)

twiddlepin @ #16439: The years are also football world cups of course. Fibonacci is tough! And doesn't really fit so well being different numbers of elements in each answer. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16431: It's meant to be gri-Mace, which isn't. Good spot though (5 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #16431: Good grid - I found a different connection for the weapons group because they can all be split in the middle to create two separate words. Grim-Ace is a little tenuous though (5 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16429: Very nice grid. You could make a case for there being more han one solution though. Swapping the 'Roman Numeral' and the 'Yes!' around (I is a numeral and Yes! could be Si 'C') Only mention n cos I tried it this way first! (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16425: see, I'm not a big fan of anagrams in these grids, but when the puzzle setter generously gives something like "lube" which after 10 or 15 seconds of headbusting you realise clearly doesn't fit into anything, then you go through the checklist of other possibilities and eventually hit anagram, not long after you get "blue,", then you see "genre" and you're off. So intellectually it's a solvable process rather than a blank wall. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Grimace @ #16428: I'm not sure about the British monarch group. Even if we take it as read that you meant in Britain, there are plenty of medals that don't have a picture of the British monarch on them. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16425: Extra star for lube, you bounder (5 years, 11 months ago)

Swornenemy @ #11851: Nice one! (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16395: Liked it, although I opted for Starr rather than astronomical. There was a Freddie and a Keith! Still marked right though. :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #16414: 'Argo' was certainly not a crew member, as stated - although Argus was. And it may be pushing it a bit to suggest Ben Affleck was a 'star' of Mallrats :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #16415: Agreed - the 'moon' group is very weak. Also, to fit the context of the rest of its group 'Celtic' should have been 'Celts' (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #16416: Pretty poor tbh, as mentioned, too much specific knowledge required, no crossovers, and using the same grouping twice albeit slightly changed is pretty lazy (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #7514: Carol....All i see from you is criticism of others grids, yet i notice you've not created any yourself? Perhaps make a few grids, realise it's not easy, and wind your neck in (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16388: Very clever... brilliant crossovers. Was convinced Kite went with sandman for a while! Let down by my knowledge of the Venom group and was duped by Electro. Thoroughly enjoyed this one :-) (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16404: Agree wholeheartedly with Minerva. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16407: Definitely a grid of 2 halves! Got the opera groups immediately (personally would have either put all in English, i.e. The Magic Flute; or all in original language, i.e. Le Nozze di Figaro). Agree with comment about about the countries. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16414: Well constructed with red herrings and crossovers in 2 groups, but Argo doesn't work. (5 years, 11 months ago)

OneEleven @ #16419: I apologise to all - a red herring/link not noticed meant you can rotate one clue for each group to the next and it will align perfectly so this grid is invalid. I've asked for it to be deleted and I hope the site admin will do so. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7386: answers dire. soooooooo disappointing (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7406: How much would you like to bet? Purely out of interest 😜 (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7406: well I thought the countries line was ridiculous - who would ever get that without consulting the internet (bet the creator did) - definitely not easy. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7434: what?????????? these are all verbs...…!!!!!!!!! also anxious marked wrong - dearie me.... (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7475: accepted answers disappointing, as usual I'm afraid to say. not you in particular, but many grid creators. (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7488: silly fish line (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7514: sorry - ridiculous (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7535: sadly you have never heard of the word unique..... (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7550: my usual comment - game is spoilt by non-acceptance of answers which are correct. the whole package has to ring true. being clever making a grid is really diminished by not having a proper range of the correct answers. but I liked the grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Swornenemy @ #11865: Nice grid. The zeds connection was a bit tenuous (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16415: Big fan of the hidden anagrams. Didn't get that one though, agree with Mister Tom that it's a bit wide and doing 1 country would be better. The "moon" group is a bit poor though. (5 years, 11 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16414: I like the Dogma group! (5 years, 11 months ago)

BigHarryDotters @ #16343: Come on then Haywood I will absolutely John Bomb you back to 2010 (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16415: Personally, I disagree- well hidden anagrams are commendable - though maybe limiting to the 1 country would be better (pairs? Mines?). One of them did scream"Anagram" to me, and that was enough. But they do make a grid harder. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16414: Clever stuff - could see ehat was going on but didn't twig too late the second film group. Sparta (and Argo- in the argo group??) felt a bit weak, but a noble effort. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16399: Yeah They are all birds... but I think in context it's fair you needed to be specific- after all they were all animals, so you could say there is no unique solution 😜 (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16416: Agree. This was.... not great. The bass group sticks out like a sore thumb - I can't see how it was intended to interact with the rest of the grid. thereafter it's a test of world geography with the only chance of insight being guessing that there are 8 rivers rather than 5 or 6. Crossovers were thin on the ground. Better rivers might have been those that could be easily mistaken for something else - eg Amazon, Po, Darling, Colorado, Yellow ( though they have been done before... ). yes Amur is also a forest or a tiger, but a) as such it was all on its lonesome and b) Theyre all geography based. (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16416: requires specific geographical knowledge as opposed to reasoning power. If the knowledge is in place then it is very straightforward, with no crossovers or herrings. If it is not, then there is little chance you can think your way through the puzzle to solve it. That is why it is not enjoyable. (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16415: personally I'm not a big fan of the anagrams as it is too hard to climb "into" them i.e. so much time is spent recognising that they are anagrams in the first place; secondly, so many European cities that with an anagram line the link should be much tighter than that - capitals maybe. But good effort, I got all the links but couldn't get the clues in on time. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Johnny @ #16399: National Flags group are all just birds! First group I got, for entirely the wrong reason apparently. (5 years, 11 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #16410: Found it very difficult, not having heard of any in the Butlers group or 2 in the Small group. (5 years, 11 months ago)

scotland0 @ #16416: I wouldn't call it particularly clever to use two sets of rivers. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Stanislav Moncrieffe @ #16416: Good (5 years, 11 months ago)

twiddlepin @ #16410: Way too clever for me. The unused Ford and Vauxhall car themes made this fiendish! (5 years, 11 months ago)

Asciliam @ #16388: Tricky. Liked some of the crossovers and the 'blue sky' group. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Asciliam @ #16408: That was a fun one, thanks. Clever groups. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Asciliam @ #16389: Very enjoyable, not too hard. Especially liked the 'bee' group. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #16408: Not many crossovers, and relatively straightforward.....but i really liked this. Thanks (5 years, 11 months ago)

B @ #14520: Best one so far! (5 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16407: There are multiple solutions I'm afraid. Ecuador Gabon Kenya and Uganda all produce coffee as well, so all could fit in that group and they could take the places of Colombia and Indonesia which also lie on the equator. This makes for around 8 or 9 separate correct solutions. (5 years, 11 months ago)

andy & Chris @ #16065: Easy!! We liked it. (Chris says she got most of that herself. Andy would be inclined to disagree.) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Haribo @ #9020: I loved the hidden story :) (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16339: Unusual in that I got the grid resolved but not with enough clarity on the groups to get more than 5/10. Good fun tho (5 years, 11 months ago)

Aetees @ #16398: Good grid. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Troy @ #16351: Not as Good as CSGO (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7641: I do think the answers and their acceptance is a vital and key part of the enjoyment of the grids. part of the whole game, not an aside to be in your own head...!! certainly doesn't spoil the day! just a frisson of annoyance at the time! (5 years, 11 months ago)

carol @ #7643: starsign animals not accepted - grrrrrrr (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16399: Not actually what I'm ever trying to achieve... Fair point about countries: Uganda Ecuador PNG and Dominica since you ask p. There aren't really any non- obscure ones for that group tho (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16400: 6/10 coz I can't spell "Carrribbbean" , good job (5 years, 11 months ago)

haywood @ #16399: right well I got a big Canada goose egg on this and I was getting ready to flame for being so obscure, but now I grudgingly see the simplicity of it (even though the flag line requires some specialist knowledge and it might have been nice to list the actual countries.) So, grr but well done. (5 years, 11 months ago)

D @ #16393: I felt the "De" group is a bit too weak a connection in my opinion. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16389: Really nice overall! Mostly echoing what has been said; a couple of the clever groups mix two types of connections together, which makes it messier than it needs be. Pick only one of "has a" or "is a" or "is named" for each group, and it will all come together splendidly. (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16388: Thanks TCBH! That makes sense. (5 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16389: there is no 'Red' group. the colour depends on which order you solve them. (the red group is the third group to be solved) Also out of curiosity, what do mean by the C___ might've been better as G____? I know you're trying to avoid spoilers but its not clear! (5 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16388: the blue group is which ever group is completed last (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16388: I just did the grid again and the same group also came out blue! It was the one with "bitter" in it. I particularly like that one! (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16373: Blue line - well you either know it or you don't and I didn't but it's fair enough. But the red group needs to have a much tigher link between the answers (particularly because a much tighter link exists between one of the red group and one of the blue group). (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #15901: I don't know that this is finished. I put a C word for blue and an H word for green and it said wrong. I think this one might be unfinished or trolling me. (5 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16388: Ta- but afaik the colours are random- there's no "blue group." Wou certainly dont get colours assigned when setting. Unless you mean blue sky? (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16388: Nice grid - couldn't find the link for the blue group but had me slapping myself when I saw the reveal. (5 years, 11 months ago)

edwardo @ #16389: The red group confuses me - one is the "name" and the other 3 are "descriptions" - C_____ might have been better as G___? Even so this is a good grid, solvable and the connections were clear. (5 years, 11 months ago)

JonBob @ #16378: "It needed more crossovers" was *not* the first thing that came to mind. All-number puzzles tend to be completely opaque to me, even if I am familiar with the groups; it's just too easy to find mathematical or referential patterns in an arbitrary group of four numbers. (5 years, 12 months ago)

edwardo @ #16345: Great grid - I couldn't get out any of the groups but once they were unscrambled the connections were very obvious. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16378: I guess the two 1 thing works... but I suspect some will see it and just assume a mistake. It needed more crossovers. Suspect people will either find this fiendish or straightforward. (5 years, 12 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16298: haywood: you're too kind! (5 years, 12 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16296: haywood: it's a very common white bread brand sold in the US. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16330: Wow, you outdid yourself! Valerie from the gallery still shouting. Maybe it's you the 5th Beatle! (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16367: Come on now, you can do better than that! (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16356: Scar group was a total killer - clever stuff. John Demme directed Philadelphia and imho is a much more accomplished director than spielboob. Thanks for nice grid. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16376: Well constructed. Have used the walking group before so found this v straightforward but had the wrong link for the school group - thinking in the US all would involve flags/patriotism... (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16370: Forgot to say thanks. Aren't you supposed to be managing Wales or something? Get back to work and stop making up grids! (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16376: 2/10 aarg, really titillating, annoying, teasing, which is what it is supposed to do, I suppose. Thanks (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16374: 7/10, don't know harry potter, fluked and wangchucked my way through the rest. Enjoyable grid, thank you. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16373: got the bond line, almost the cycling line, rest was too tough. Don't lots of people have knighthoods? Even Bloody Bob Geldof has one. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16372: Blast, I was about to submit one with the metro stations - it's an excellent line, with so many possibilities (e.g. Franklin D. Roosevelt). Good grid. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Emily @ #16368: Nice😎 (5 years, 12 months ago)

Aetees @ #16370: A good grid. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Spencer @ #16371: Das ist sehr gut (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16370: 3/10 still too tough for me, and I don't know english football. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16369: tough but fair. I like the sticky line (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16361: @Johnny I'll give you "synonyms" all right, point taken, but "flightless" was a minimum for the other one. @Kitty Was there a Scarecrow in FMJ? I didn't know. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #16364: Thanks for pointing out the non-acceptability of "Castle", I must be more careful. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16370: Can't complain it was too footy focussed, given the group U didn't get. . (5 years, 12 months ago)

B @ #16333: Good one, though had an alternate connection - Roll, Stick, Kit, and Beat can all be followed by up! (5 years, 12 months ago)

B @ #16365: Cheeky! (5 years, 12 months ago)

edwardo @ #16362: Excellent grid. Gettable with good red herrings. (5 years, 12 months ago)

edwardo @ #16365: Great - got it just in time but some of those red group red herrings!!! (5 years, 12 months ago)

Omegaman @ #16364: 'Castle' wasn't accepted for English castles. Otherwise it was a nice grid. (5 years, 12 months ago)

giggsy @ #16367: not sure many would get the past city names. At least I didn't. (5 years, 12 months ago)

giggsy @ #16365: Good one - Thanks (5 years, 12 months ago)

giggsy @ #16325: Blimey - I didn't get bollocked this much at school. (5 years, 12 months ago)

giggsy @ #16333: Thanks for the feedback (5 years, 12 months ago)

giggsy @ #16353: They're not wrong though. (5 years, 12 months ago)

giggsy @ #16356: One group is Hanks alone - the other is Hanks and Spielberg combined. (5 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16361: Joker & scarecrow could be swapped and still have a legitimate solution, albeit with one different connection (5 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16356: The Scar group is really pleasing :-) (5 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16362: Quality grid. Thank you (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8160: don't agree (5 years, 12 months ago)

Johnny @ #16353: Another one with overly stringent answers. "India", "Relations" and "American Civil War" all marked as wrong. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Johnny @ #16356: Agreed. Odd that "Hanks" is accepted for one group and not the other. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Johnny @ #16361: "Birds" and "Synonyms" both marked wrong. Bit too stringent I reckon. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16294: Sold my electric guitar so not picking it much these days :( (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16295: 4/10 man that was tough. But good. Did you really need "noise" after "background"? (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16296: What's wonderbread? Sounds amazing (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16343: Hey, thanks a bunch for wasting everyone's time. Please stick to your marky sharky schoolboy fanclub (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16332: I matched only me's score. At least I don't feel like such a dumdum. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16335: huh? (5 years, 12 months ago)

Larry @ #16186: The grid was tougher than I initially thought. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16342: damn, a bit tough titty. Think I'll stick to the mediums for now. (5 years, 12 months ago)

This is just bad @ #2534: This is just bad (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16333: tantalising. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16321: @jody thanks for insulting me, twice. Yes 2/10 was my score, not rating, no it doesn't mean I'm thick. You might want to revise there/their, and also where I'm from knob takes a "k" (5 years, 12 months ago)

knife @ #16353: Good, challenging grid. I doff my hat. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16339: didn't know the nordies were allowed on here. Up King Billy! (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16354: "A" : that's almost as good as Valerie in the gallery! (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16362: Lovely. (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16356: The difference between the "Bridge of Spies" and "Splash" groups is too subtle for my tastes, but that's me being nitpicky. (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16353: This was great. (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16354: Some really nice ideas, but a couple factual problems that let it down. "White" doesn't work there, both because the album is actually called "The Beatles" and even if we use the nickname we'd get "The," not "White." Then "Sgt." is a stretch because it's fictional, unlike the others. Overall I still enjoyed it, though! (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16322: 1/10, bah! Keep trying. (nobody's angry, we all want to help). (5 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #16362: Good one. Thanks. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16353: good one (5 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #16361: Enjoyed that. Thanks. (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8305: the I before e grid line is a total cop out. weak (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8309: really like your grids. thank you. they reflect my own way of thinking, maybe. also I trust your grids. others can be off beam because no research and/or checking was done, or the spelling is silly (so you have to take that into account), or a crazy totally obscure idea has made one of the grid lines! PS I'm generally hopeless, not an aficionado in the least (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8354: sorry, thot this was not great. answers did not cover all bases and not all correct. (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8362: wouldn't accept berries - for goodness sake! correct answer apparently is 'type of berry' (5 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16333: I liked the interconnectedness! And like Vixen, I prefer achievable over niche and impossible. Thank you. (5 years, 12 months ago)

J @ #16347: Also same but with nicer words. I think the groups were Pizza, Coctails, Harvey, & Call of Duty (5 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16343: Nonsense. Avoid, people! (5 years, 12 months ago)

kittymcg @ #16335: This is not general interest if only people in your school can do it! (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16320: Thanks for the feedback (5 years, 12 months ago)

Marky Sharky Fan 101 @ #16343: This has to be the best grid I’ve ever played Top work g Keep it up (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #3230: Very clever (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16345: Agree. It's clear that is the group cos nowt else follows world economic... but good luck with the other 3. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #16347: Same but with nicer words. (5 years, 12 months ago)

alicoo @ #16335: Maths teacher???? I don't understand. Harry Dotters??? (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16338: Roosevelt is an island, for one. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8355: May the force be with you Jeddy... ooops! My mistake, wrong Jedi. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Vixen @ #16333: I liked it, it was fun even if having links mixed in made it a bit on the easy side, I rate grids higher that I enjoy, over clever but impossible, very nice thanks :-) (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16161: Very good - missed Rat until solved too. So obvious when you see it. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16343: wtf? (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16342: Got the films, Titanic was a good red herring - Didn't know the acids (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16344: Complete nonsense - Tona Can? Humperty - A in the middle. Run along (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16345: Got the fags, then got hung up on clever mag refs - found some links a bit obscure, like Forums. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16333: That was the fun connection (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16281: I double-bogeyed that one :( (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16345: Angela Merkel thinks I'm working. Thids is how I'm spending the afternoon. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16298: 7/10 I love the Silverman grids, they make me feel clever (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16320: excellent grid 4/10 shudda done betta (5 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #16332: My score .......zero. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16325: Not much fun I'm afraid. Try to put yourself in the place of the puzzle solver, and maybe spend more time thinking through fewer and higher quality puzzles rather than outputting loads. The Beatles line, for example, is 3/4 great, but "Valerie" ruins it because no one will remember that from inside the song, wheareas the other 3 are in the title. Also, pointing out alternate legitimate answers that are not accepted is not nitpicking. Others may enter variations of correct answers that you need to consider and allow for. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16337: Easy peasy lemon squeezy 10/10, still enjoyable (5 years, 12 months ago)

Big Bruiser @ #16344: This was an absolute unit from my Guy living on the street from like 230 BC mental combo and very lit. See you in the ends - Big H Dawg 2010 - 2018 (5 years, 12 months ago)

knife @ #16333: Very clever, although I agree it might have been morfe challenging if the links didn't also appear in the grid (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8409: said I pods and was WRONG. hate that... (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16337: Nice. the distractions amused rather than puzzled. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #16338: All reasonable categories but if there were crossovers I missed them, apart from Orlando. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Peekay @ #16330: Ridiculously difficult and far too niche for general audience.....No way anybody's doing this (5 years, 12 months ago)

Aetees @ #16333: Personally I am not a huge fan of the links appearing in the grid itself, but maybe that's just me. Thanks for posting. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Peekay @ #16332: Pretty niche this....good luck anyone completing it (5 years, 12 months ago)

Espy @ #9798: So good! (5 years, 12 months ago)

carol @ #8687: is a web browser different from a search engine? all performed on stage is a tenuous connection (and orchestras do not always perform on stage either) (5 years, 12 months ago)

knife @ #16320: Nice tricky grid. Was kicking myself for being flummoxed by caddy, which I was sure must be a golf one. As to "Van" and "van", maybe I'm being simplistic but isn't it because of the initial letter, uppercase or lowercase? Strictly speaking, Van has to be used with Vancouver and Morrison. And that prompts my wee quibble: the grid entry really has to be "couver" as the answer isn't VanCouver. (5 years, 12 months ago)

haywood @ #16301: 7/10: this is more my level! What is Saved by a Bell? (5 years, 12 months ago)

Peekay @ #16307: (5 years, 12 months ago)

Peekay @ #16307: Impossible within the time frame.....far too tricky (5 years, 12 months ago)

Peekay @ #16325: Waaaay too many crossovers dude. Knew 2 of the groups straight away, but so many possibilities rendered it quite hard to sort them in time. Also the names line is a little vague in the context of the grid. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Only Me @ #16325: Nice grid but big zero for me. I guessed two of the answers while doing the puzzle, but could not see them in the grid. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Roopgrockie @ #15681: Great stuff !!! (5 years, 12 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #16320: People are unlikely to add the quotes in exactly the same way as you so best leave them out. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Roopgrockie @ #15756: Two new ones for me. Nerf and yellow jacket. Along with cryptic crosswords Puzzgrid is a great way to learn. Hopefully warding off dementia. Many thanks. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Roopgrockie @ #15767: Oh that was cruel. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Roopgrockie @ #15821: WOW that was both good and evil. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16320: OK thanks Jonbob - I will use double quotes in future, or maybe none to avoid browser interference. (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16320: I checked the source and 'Van' is provided with single quotes around it, unlike the other answer words. Not surprised that some browsers may choke on it; there are have been a variety of bugs related to such punctuation. (5 years, 12 months ago)

JonBob @ #16315: Two good lines (Cranium and Prince). The Rock line is a mainstream source, but the words are effectively random. Maybe you could have taken them all from the chorus and that would have seemed fairer? The Knob line is suuuuuper niche and doesn't belong here. I love that game and have never heard of a single one of these terms, and the game is not that well-known to begin with. Keep working at it! Thanks for putting this together! (5 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #16321: @Jody calm down, Haywood was not rating it. He or she was telling us they got 2/10 when they played the game. So I’m afraid you are the nob. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16320: Strange - I just did it again and it accepted 'Van' for that row - I am on Chrome. I did set that as the answer. Not sure why it did not accept it for you. Sorry. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16322: Trying again - hope I don't make anyone angry as I seemed to do before. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Midge @ #16320: No, it didn’t accept van as an answer for me either (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16321: These are my first attempts - I will try to get better - sorry to have annoyed you (5 years, 12 months ago)

Giggsy @ #16320: it does accept 'Van' as answer. Not sure I understand comment. Thanks (5 years, 12 months ago)

macabaret @ #16320: It should accept "van" as answer. But nonetheless a good grid with some evil red herrings. (5 years, 12 months ago)

Jody @ #16321: @haywood, sorry mate but who are you to be rating these puzzles?? Just enjoy the free quiz someone has taken the time to create for you ffs. Nothing wrong with est it is there puzzle to choose what they like.

alicoo @ #12684: Funny got "out off" incorrect but put completely wrong answer for the "melon,loo" group and it was marked correct lol (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16290: SC it's a Trumpism. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16288: Yah. Made a rod for my own back by making every answer ambiguous. Apologies to all. (6 years ago)

Only the lonely @ #1942: Made harder if you know of Bruce French the wicket keeper (6 years ago)

Haribo @ #14043: Joel, without trying to sound rude at all, Ian Duncan Smith wasn't ever Prime Minister, so I'm afraid you were wrong there :( (6 years ago)

Lyndon @ #16288: Too many options (6 years ago)

SC @ #16290: What is Little Rocket Man (6 years ago)

waffle @ #16282: hi bob - it accepts notes for a group that are all notes there were overlaps - lily pad, tiger lily, pool party, pool shark etc. (6 years ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16288: Eagleeyes: glad you went for Carrot and Punt in those groups and not the other way around! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16290: Yep, fiendish is right. Loved the Alkane connection. (6 years ago)

Red Salamander @ #16288: Well said, Eagleeyes. I nice idea, but a lot more care needs to be taken when assembling a full grid to ensure that *your* solution is the *only* solution. (6 years ago)

SteveWakey @ #3175: Iomi should be spelt Iommi but other than that a good grid (6 years ago)

xxx @ #16272: Matao is a place in Brazil - and ???. And Hong Kong as a nick name? As for pets …. absolute garbage. (6 years ago)

carol @ #9348: grid spoiled infuriatingly by the poor range of solutions. even when right I was marked wrong!!! (6 years ago)

carol @ #9352: liked this (6 years ago)

carol @ #9394: frankly this was completely rubbish. sorry I know I should be nice but really, all those one letter away. trite and silly. and yes Oman was a daft mistake. what about checking your entries????!!!! sorry I couldn.t make a grid if I tried but working out one letter away stuff would be easy! (6 years ago)

xxx @ #16287: Beyond fiendish (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16291: Nice one. Didn't get the Catfish connection. Not many UK puzzgridders will. (6 years ago)

carol @ #9554: I didn't like the prime numbers bit...!!! but suppose was a good connection. (6 years ago)

carol @ #9597: is it not Jiminy Cricket? or is there a Jimmy Cricket I've not heard of perhaps... (6 years ago)

bob @ #16282: No real overlap between groups, so a bit too easy. And doesn't accept "note" for the group that is all notes! (6 years ago)

bob @ #16289: No overlaps or misdirection at all in two of the groups, so pretty easy to solve. But, doesn't accept "scientist", despite saying that will get you the point in the description of the group. (6 years ago)

Me @ #16273: Poor effort. (6 years ago)

Eagleeyes @ #16288: Unfortunately there are multiple alternative valid solutions as bonehead alludes to by creating groups starting with the same letter. For example Dock, Dumper, Docket, Drain; Coat, Cress, Carrot, Custard; Punt, Piece, Pit, Packet; Laughter, Life, Lorry, Luck. Then a different solution can be created by simply swapping it and uck to get Lit and Puck etc etc etc. When trying to add an extra layer of difficulty it is easy to miss the more obvious potential solutions. It is not easy to create a foolproof grid of this type. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16288: @ bonehead the thought did cross my mind... perhaps Next time (6 years ago)

Andy P @ #16289: Excellent. Got 10 but had to work for it. Cheers (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16289: Yep, Hard. Thought I knew where Newton was going - wrong. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16288: Interesting. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #12595: Eric not accepted!! Bay not accepted!! (6 years ago)

Me @ #226: (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16288: I thought the puzzle was a different idea altogether (which letters can precede these combinations to make a word - you can do it with some sets). Nice idea though (6 years ago)

Row57 @ #16277: Didn't accept liquers! (6 years ago)

Only the lonely @ #6833: Lots of US presidents until I saw the assassination connection - excellent detail. (6 years ago)

toast @ #16281: Nice one. (6 years ago)

toast @ #16262: Very enjoyable. Thanks. (6 years ago)

Gloria @ #1942: Brilliant, really enjoyed this one (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16281: Top notch. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16287: Crikey that was tough. (6 years ago)

SC @ #16281: Good One that (6 years ago)

J @ #16282: I should have been lower case. Resources spelled wrong. Good grid but got thrown by the spelling mistakes. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16282: NIce. Started off easy but you caught me at the end. Slight spelling issue but your intention is obvious. Thanks. (6 years ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16269: Mister Tom is right. I did mess up, which is a bit annoying cos i wasnt even gonna use sergio garcia I was going to put another american golfer in, hey ho (6 years ago)

Tom @ #9384: Many spelling mistakes. (6 years ago)

carol @ #9794: disliked this - got the grid but hate it when my definition is exactly the right answer but not worded the same as the gridder. 'names of beaches in D day landings' not accepted.....!! 'items used in battle/torture medieval' not accepted either...…!! tut tut tut (6 years ago)

Gloria @ #16281: Brilliant !!!!! (6 years ago)

The Devils Advocaat @ #16281: Clever! (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16281: For "communistcol" read "communist", damn it. Will fix if I get time. (6 years ago)

Orelinde71 @ #16199: "Chambers" hasn't been a synonym for "home" since about 1900... (6 years ago)

Orelinde71 @ #16205: I liked the "rock" and dynasties links. "Speach"? Please... (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16274: Old fashioned? Only "dame" would strike me as unusual today. (6 years ago)

truecockney @ #16272: the pets are jumbled up inside the words (I think)... (6 years ago)

Aidan @ #9067: "Presidents" not correct?? (6 years ago)

Aidan @ #2655: No score? Should surely have been a choice. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16277: excellent crossovers, enjoyable grid (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16279: Nice grid - once I'd seen the answers. Scored very low. (6 years ago)

bob @ #16276: Where to start with this one.. The four groups were trivial to find, there being only a single weak overlap. The connections however were of the "guess what random words the setter has decided to accept for this group" variety. IE and Firefox are browsers, not search engines. And I have not idea what answers are accepted for the metal group ("metal" isn't one of them). (6 years ago)

wtf? @ #16275: Probably the worst grid I have had the misfortune to waste my time on. No overlaps or red herrings, just three stupidly obscure groups. And then the timer group, which isn't even a proper set, unless "timer timer" is a thing. I don't even understand the connections for two of the other groups and Google leaves me none the wiser. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16274: Rather clever. Enjoyed this. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16275: Scored zero......but I don't think that's a bad score on viewing the answers. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #12815: Plagues was incorrect Party was incorrect !!!!! (6 years ago)

A San @ #12552: Got marked off for "homophones of demonyms", which seems a bit unfair. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #12978: Five not 5 (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16272: Can someone explain the pets line? Or am I being a bit thick? (6 years ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #16275: I'm not surprised that there are no comments. (6 years ago)

MHS @ #16254: Excellent - you trumped us! (6 years ago)

Confused @ #16272: I don't get the pets line at all (6 years ago)

Confused @ #16272: I don't get the pets line at all (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16269: Exactly this. Apologies for brevity. There must be exactly one valid partition into 4 lots of 4. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16271: As a Baby Boomer, I didn't get the Redline or CD Project Red connections. Otherwise, enjoyed it. (6 years ago)

Harry Dotters Fan 101 @ #16246: pop (6 years ago)

Harry Dotters Fan 101 @ #16272: Yo this was absolutely mental fam 10/10 sick (6 years ago)

Eagleeyes @ #16269: I think Mister Tom is trying to say there is not a single solution as Rose (the golfer) and Garcia (Danny the boxer) can be swapped to make another valid solution. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16269: Agree with TDA. Nice grid, didn't get the Fleetwood connection. (6 years ago)

Paddy @ #16264: Followed by dragon, not preceded by, I think. (6 years ago)

A San @ #98: Got marked off for "solfege" in the notes group. Seems like it should be allowed. (6 years ago)

A San @ #98: (6 years ago)

A San @ #8403: An Americanism, I know, but I was marked off for "soda" on the "soft drinks" row. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16264: A nice grid. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16254: make only connect great again (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16257: got yammed by the anagrams, a bit tough (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16253: 7/10 fine grid but it appears a touch harder than "medium," seems to me (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16261: 6/10 by fluking the last 2 lines, I echo Only Me's sentiment. (6 years ago)

Drake59 @ #16266: Thanks for giving it a go. I have to admit my quizzes are known to be very tricky but a bad attempt is better than no attempt. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16266: ok you asked so I'll say I got 0/10 on this but I don't know if it was because it was too difficult or too obscure or if I'm just not awake yet. I see some intersting crossovers now. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16255: Yah, this sort of thing only works with very simple groups, and ideally I'd like to be able to raise the time limit. (6 years ago)

Drake59 @ #16265: @Mister Tom - That was a mistake I put the possible formulations of the connection in the wrong box when submitting, but I'm glad that you enjoyed my grid. (6 years ago)

SpaggBol @ #16261: Very tidy - liked it! (6 years ago)

The Devils Advocaat @ #16269: Mister Tom - Isn't that called a crossover or a red herring, and is a primary tool used in most of the grids to keep us entertained and or brains working??? (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16265: Great start. Note you don't have to put all possible formulations of the connection in the link descriptions (6 years ago)

carol @ #9905: the fact is scolar is spelt incorrectly. it is spelt scholar, which knocks out your definition. surely you could have thought of another word containing a drink.....! (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16269: Not a grid I'm afraid because there's also champion boxer Danny Garcia. (6 years ago)

Drake59 @ #16266: Hi, guys I would like to apologize about my two new grids as I am just beginning to get back into the swing of things with submitting grids. If there are any issues in the grid people please notify in the comment section so I learn for future reference. Thankz Drake59 (6 years ago)

Gwen @ #16254: Love that last category! (6 years ago)

B @ #16264: 5/10 - very sneaky with the Indonesian herrings (6 years ago)

Von @ #16141: Twas brilliant Tricky but not too hard Great fun (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16261: Nice neat grid (6 years ago)

knife @ #16256: Very difficult; for me it errs on the side of too specialist (6 years ago)

Kweev @ #16159: Can you "buy" money? I think the correct term would be "exchange" money hence Bureau de change. (I am biased because I got time :) ) I agree I know of Jonny, Jonnie and johnny but not Johhny. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16260: Just fine for a very easy puzzle, but there's not a ton of interest except for the input/output distinction. Going for some more variety in your OS examples, or simply omitting the "Windows," would have helped a tad because they are super-obvious as presented. "Excel" is misspelled which is a nitpick but that can really be important in these grids. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16261: Yep, do-able, but not by me. (6 years ago)

anthony @ #16260: all computer parts well done (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16262: Very good. (6 years ago)

Pacman Paul @ #16255: I like the cryptic ones too. I figured out some of the groups on this particular one, but must admit it defeated me. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16260: Not bad, very focused on one topic but I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing. The input/output distinction seems a very precise one though, certainly caught me out. (6 years ago)

Shrek @ #15779: Notice (6 years ago)

BB @ #16255: Good one. I see no reason to stick slavishly to the Only Connect style. This was hard, as advertised, but doable and different. Well done. (6 years ago)

carol @ #10289: I know not supposed to be critical but answer range MUST be better. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16259: You're right. It IS difficult. Clever connections. (6 years ago)

Vixen @ #16232: 0, not a clue, I've never heard of any of it... (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16256: got 2/10 but only after seeing the theme from the first answer. I gave this 1 for quality and 5 for difficulty. How many thousands of actors have played Horatio I wonder. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16256: 0/10 for me. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16255: I like the cryptic clues, even if they are nothing like Only Connect. This one was insanely difficult to sort out though, because the cryptic bit is layered on top of the connections (as opposed to all hinting at the same word, as e.g. truecockney's work). Still respect the effort! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16258: Yeah, the capitals made it a giveaway. As did the zero crossovers. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13322: VOWELS is both right and wrong it seems !!!! (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13485: Super Punch Fish Hollywood I put star could be right? (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13499: BEAR is incorrect !!!!!!!!!! BEETLE is incorrect !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come on !!! (6 years ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #16257: Wonderful stuff! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16257: Great stuff. Liked the Yam connection. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13701: MONOPOLY is incorrect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (6 years ago)

toast @ #16255: The cryptic approach is fine in my opinion and makes this unusual puzzle more interesting. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13745: MOOR is incorrect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16256: Ouch. I suspect you have either seen the show.or you haven't, and I fall in the latter camp (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16256: Not my area. Anyone get 10? (6 years ago)

TheGame @ #16252: Brutal, and very nicely done. The Ike line did not accept the more important part of what they are as a solution, even though the word is used in the description. (6 years ago)

TheGame @ #16255: Friendly reminder that this is not cryptic crosswords. Add the actual items, not another layer of puzzles -- if you need to add a question mark to the tiles, you're doing it wrong. (6 years ago)

DaveHz @ #16253: loved it. Has red herrings and clever ones at that, great job. (6 years ago)

DaveHz @ #16240: IMO it was okay on the crossovers, it is an easy wall after all. However, the laptop in a group where all other things are computer peripherals felt out of place. (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16255: Great stuff! (6 years ago)

DaveHz @ #15239: loved it, the new words line was inspired because it also provided red herrings. The accessories line didn't accept "Accessories" as the answer though. I know it's less specific, but people who guess accessories know these are worn on the body let's be honest. I reckon Victoria would take it XD. (6 years ago)

DaveHz @ #15274: first of the easy ones I've seen that has red herrings. Well done. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16255: Clever. I didn't get many points and didn't know the hood connection. Looked it up - learned something. Thanks. (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16253: Straighforward yet satisfying :-) (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16254: Good one. (6 years ago)

anthony @ #16253: a good grid (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16253: Liked this. Thanks. (6 years ago)

DaveHz @ #15349: "Wonder Women" should be "Wonder Woman" (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16239: Trusted you too much to be distracted by the fakery... Gin group was a good one (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16232: Just too hard, but fair I suppose. If anyone gets 10/10 let me know (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16237: sorry, far too obscure (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16239: Turkey question hard (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16250: Hardest ever!!!! and dodgy connects (what is Mass Effect?) Too obscure, sorry Need to suit all countries (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16251: 28 seconds. good grid (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16252: (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16253: (6 years ago)

macabaret @ #16253: Very enjoyable grid. I fell for a few red herrings - in the beginning I went for tarot cards. 7/10 (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13785: wtf?? (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13789: David is wrong!!!?? (6 years ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16197: I guess the bijoux thing was controversial, eh? I concede that it was awfully tricky, but the idea of it is fun. (6 years ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16190: I'm a guy (not that it matters) - but thanks for your kind praise, all! (6 years ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16185: JonBob - ha! (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #13816: Hawking and Fry are STEPHEN (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16251: Good fun. Thanks. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16209: unorthodox but clever. was done in by the "only one/single" crossover with sole (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16211: 10/10 lemon squeezy (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16228: lemon squeezy (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16239: 10/10 lemon squeezy! Saw the phonetic alphabet group right away so was never distracted by the (decent) decoys. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16251: Excellent, despite the typo. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16250: Wow. 5* is not enough to describe the difficulty for me. Nothing wrong with it per se, though! (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16251: easiest grid ever, under 30 secs (6 years ago)

edwardo @ #16212: The grid is fantastic but the green category was very mean when coming up with the link. (6 years ago)

Row57 @ #16212: Not sure why you wouldn't accept writing tools! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16230: BB said exactly what I was going say. Great grid though. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16239: Despite having the Whiskey link we've seen time and again, it took me a while to see it because of the excellent shadow group. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16237: Difficult, but fair. 6/10 and it should have been 7/10 if I made the right mental leap. I didn't have the specific knowledge needed to even attempt the last one. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16232: Probably excellent if you are smarter than I am, rather baffling if you are not. 1/10. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16239: Tricky - 6 of these words I've never heard of - but I've now looked them up and have learned something. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16237: Good and do-able - but not by me I'm afraid. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16240: Not bad. could use more crossovers. (6 years ago)

BB @ #16230: Nice one. Got everything but the chess group - clever and hard to see because it requires two letters. Should've stared at it for a bit longer. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16229: Yep, all good. (6 years ago)

alicoo @ #14053: KNOT NOT KNOTT (6 years ago)

mac donald @ #8984: answers too picky, colours and flowers not accepted, might as well have been flowers beginning with d and having an I in it (6 years ago)

mac donald @ #11758: good grid (6 years ago)

mac donald @ #13820: farm not accepted answers TOO picky (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #8329: Just a headsup: Krohs is NOT pronounced how you think it is pronounced. I'm a native speaker and was on the right track, but there was nobody I could think of pronounced "crews". It's KrOHs, not KrEWs/KrOOs. (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #9974: The Orca line should accept the singular, really. (6 years ago)

Me @ #11117: Didn't accept counties (6 years ago)

Pale Fisher @ #16231: New York? (6 years ago)

threeferrets @ #16230: good one! (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #15888: You need 'Romeo + Juliet' for this one not 'Romeo & Juliet' (6 years ago)

paulette41 @ #16230: I really liked it! (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #15562: Leela line really needs to accept cyclops. (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #15695: Excellent, and nice red herring. (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #15817: @JonBob: wrong. Film then stage musical then film. (6 years ago)

Johnny @ #16230: Didn't get the DU group, but thought it was very nicely disguised. (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16197: Well set :-) Thank you. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16225: A good challenge, but the Rock group, I felt, lacked Soul... (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16224: Felt this was too easy to guess at (and for me, necessary to): Got 6/10 despite not having a clue what 2 of the groups were. Try mixing long and short clues within the groups. (6 years ago)

chris @ #16227: quite easy (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #47: (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16227: I spotted one crossover... not sure the American group really adds anything. Thanks for setting. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16228: Straightforward grid. Could be improved with some crossovers. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16209: Truly excellent cryptic grid. Clues and crossovers really worked. I rated medium, but enough there to create a challenge while still being very solvable. I nearly fell for your poisson-rouge on the Castle Building until I sussed you out! 5* (6 years ago)

steve @ #16228: nice. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16217: Good grid. I was largely bested with a measly 3/10 but it didn't feel unfair or unreasonable. (6 years ago)

twiddlepin @ #2621: An excellent wall. Shame about some of the intolerant and ignorant comments. (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #16034: Not bad, hen isn't really a type of bird though. (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #16140: Nice one. Seconding fashion for hip though. (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #16209: These are written like crossword hints, not OC clues. If you need three question marks and they're not in one category, you're not doing it right. (6 years ago)

Jenius @ #8618: I assume I didn't get a point for "hieroglyphs" because the author can't spell the word? In the solution, it says "heiroglyphs", which is wrong. (6 years ago)

knife @ #16194: Excellent. Stumped me but I admit gracious defeat when I saw the anwsers. Keep it up. (6 years ago)

knife @ #16196: Well constructed. Hadn't heard of puff or hit pieces, but nice to learn something new (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16217: Great. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16214: Nicely done. (6 years ago)

SpaggBol @ #16214: Great Grid; could have gone completely Isle-ception with 'Grain', which is an almost-Island on the Isle of Sheppey... (6 years ago)

oyaR @ #16193: Although they are all racecourses in that group. Aintree is strictly for horses, Goodwood you can argue horse and motorsport. Oulton and Silverstone motorsport. I wouldnt really call them racecourses but race tracks and they dont really connect IMO (6 years ago)

Grugen @ #16216: Rowanda is a girl's name, of the invented kind favoured by many Western 21st century parents. I discovered it is a blend of Rowena and Wanda when looking through a book of baby names earlier this year. We had a boy though, so Rowanda wasn't considered. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16216: Nice one. Rowanda is not a word though. You mean Rwanda, but then the connection does not work. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16213: I agree with the below but overall an enjoyable grid. Well done. (6 years ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16205: Dwayne ?????? really (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16205: Hmmm. Ok but Dwayne threw me off course. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16206: nice. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16214: Good one. Should've got the Fitzroy connection, but didn't. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16204: @Ellie: true, but Canine is a more general term and also applies. (It also works for foxes.) I think defining "average" as "range" is going a bit far afield. Otherwise quite enjoyed it! (6 years ago)

Pogglefish @ #16209: Not that hard but excellently done. (6 years ago)

chris @ #16213: rings seems to be an issue. try getting a few acceptable words and people will enjoy them more. Other than that a good attempt (6 years ago)

? @ #16205: speach? (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16211: Nowt wrong with that. (6 years ago)

drwilko @ #16213: I would argue rings should be accepted (6 years ago)

James @ #16213: or circle? (6 years ago)

James @ #16213: or circle? (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16213: how about ring-shaped? (6 years ago)

knife @ #16205: Not bad, but the Buddhist one perhaps a shade abstruse; and it's "speech" (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16187: Not an American thing. :-) Overall very good, and difficult for me. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16186: Excellent. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16185: Learned something new with "guillemets," and this from a person who uses the word "octothorpe" in casual conversation. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16184: Enjoyed it and identified 3/4. I think the "Octapus" group is a weird one and I'm not a fan of that approach, mostly because on here you can't trust the abilities of the setter enough to know that everything is 100% intentional. (6 years ago)

Els @ #16197: Good grid - didn't like the Bijoux connection ;-) (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16194: Fiendish and clever, especially the two similar groups. (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16183: Very clever and enjoyable. Nice theme. (6 years ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16208: great fun V fell for the victor route, (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16209: Very good. Tricky, but good. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16211: Exellent grid. I too was foiled by the card link but I think it was gettable. (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16211: Very good and difficult, though maybe the ‘card’ group was a little bit loose. (6 years ago)

BB @ #16209: liked it, especially peek. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16196: Not sure why blackjack was rejected... well put together, but personally hadn't heard of Hit, Puff or Oxford. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16211: Agree with awesome. Very clever and fair grid. (6 years ago)

LucyB @ #16208: I really enjoyed working out the connections here. I hadn't heard of Charlie drake bit bit it didn't stop me getting the set. Enjoyed it thanks (6 years ago)

DH @ #16209: v good (6 years ago)

DH @ #16211: awesome (6 years ago)

Pamela @ #16120: Good if you are 12 and behind the bike sheds (6 years ago)

Ellie @ #16204: Wolf is Lupine (6 years ago)

Pamela @ #16118: Glad we didn't try to do this one (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16208: Enjoyable, Thanks. (6 years ago)

Ellie @ #16208: Didn’t accept ‘5’, only ‘five’ (6 years ago)

chris @ #16208: good (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16206: can't -ise be accepted? (6 years ago)

RBR45 @ #16204: enjoyed that - not too tricky (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16208: Good gridding and v easy for its type. The letter thing didn't really tempt. (6 years ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16204: Very enjoyable grid. Top marks (6 years ago)

anthony @ #16207: a very easy grid (6 years ago)

three-ferrets @ #16203: Great! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16204: Yep, all good. (6 years ago)

CG @ #16195: Amazing! Check the comments out haha. Time to get the washing out... (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16203: Nice to do. Thanks. (6 years ago)

Caitlin @ #16191: Excellent quiz. (6 years ago)

Sylv @ #16178: Yikes! (6 years ago)

Sylv @ #16191: Nice! (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16193: Hmm. Nice variety In the groups but a couple were a bit loose (e.g. thrifty is an adjective: save is not). The crossovers were solid but I thought the grid as a whole needed a bit more camouflage: too many of the clues could only really be one thing. But thanks for setting it :=) (6 years ago)

Ridge @ #16183: Great crossovers (6 years ago)

Ridge @ #16193: Very clever (6 years ago)

toast @ #16194: Great stuff. Well done. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16197: Great grid. Liked the Bijoux connection. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16200: Nice one. (6 years ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #16200: Great stuff! (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #1495: Splendid stuff! (6 years ago)

mario @ #16193: loved the space ship names (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16194: Strictly I Think it's "Turn!". But otherwise yeah, how to do a tough grid. (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16194: Truly fab! (6 years ago)

marvinthemartian @ #16200: becky strikes again (6 years ago)

Hayley @ #16191: Very hard!! (6 years ago)

Blues @ #16183: Cheers First... Might be the incentive for a beer. (6 years ago)

Hampton Quibbles @ #16184: Hampton is disgusted by this grid (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16194: Nice Grid. This one is 'up there' with the greats. (6 years ago)

Tim @ #8403: war see jig and hack? What is the connection? (6 years ago)

MortimerCat @ #16060: Ignoring the dodgy spelling, Gorillas and Orangutans are not monkeys - they are apes. Then we also have ape in the grid - that is a family, not a species like the rest of the answer. Don't get me started on Pluto not being a planet (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16195: 1/10 for me also. The Fran group is a bit niche. Cheers. (6 years ago)

As iliac @ #16190: Very good, lots of tricky crossovers. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16195: I guess you need to be an aficionado of the Fran group to get this grid. Who is Jennifer? A poor 1/10 for me. (6 years ago)

Weetum @ #2534: Not fair to have words twice ! (6 years ago)

Poppy @ #16195: Woof! (6 years ago)

Coochies @ #16174: Solved it, but got insanely lucky with the amount of right-first-time guesses! Good grid. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16189: Well constructed puzzle... although minor quibble with well in this group. Surely adverb? (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16185: Liked it. Shame it didn't accept 'liquid measurements'. I have never used a gallon of anything in cooking either! ;-) (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16193: vg crossovers, budget line needed adjusting: mixing noun, verb, and 2 adjectives is a bit messy. But nice grid (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16186: 5/10 should have done better. Good grid. Don't watch much American Idol, have to say though. (6 years ago)

Smiffy81 @ #16182: Liked this a lot, nice little lunchtime distraction, with some very good crossovers (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16191: yeesh (6 years ago)

Coliy @ #16193: Loved it great crossovers (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16185: 10/10 but kinda fluked it. Don't know how big your family is but I don't recall ever requiring a gallon of anything when cooking! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16191: Ah, Tether/Tethera is a regional variation. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16191: Yes, particularly liked the Tether connection. Wiki has it as Tethera. No matter, I learned something interesting. Thanks. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16190: another solid grid from mr or mrs silverman, no complaints (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16190: Very good. I didn't know The Fan connection. 7/10 for me. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16183: Fabulous! (6 years ago)

anthony @ #16190: a good fun grid (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16180: No crossovers... but lots of false leads. I liked it (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16187: Thanks for that. Same as BusyBee. Learned something with the 'Get on Up' connection. (6 years ago)

Gloria @ #16174: All right ! (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #16187: Fun grid, although I have only ever heard it called Easter or Easter Sunday. Maybe Easter Day is an American thing though. (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #16180: Not bad but not a single crossover, basically as soon as you spot a group you finish it. (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #16083: Penne doesn't mean pen, it comes from the Latin for feather. Pen also comes from the Latin from feather as it originally related to quills but it is a cognate, not a derivation. (6 years ago)

Rolo @ #16178: Lovely x (6 years ago)

xx4 @ #16191: Great! (6 years ago)

Blues @ #16183: Thank you folks. Toast... So it was you squeezing the daylights out of that glass bottle... A little less sauce for you next time mon cher. (6 years ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16093: Thanks, Pamela! (6 years ago)

LicyB @ #16184: I thought this was terrible but then maybe it's source grapes as I didn't get any sets (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #8731: One of the best of its kind. the crossovers make it a challenge even after the theme becomes evident (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #10330: Nice construction. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16183: Yes - Nice. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16168: Sounds like I'm comparatively harsh! For me, most grids are 3 or 4*: if there are>1 valid solutions then 1* automatically. 4* needs something more than just a clear solid answer: more than 3 crossovers between the groups, an ingenious grouping or concept or some form of false connectivity. I'll prefer interesting flawed grids to vanilla or wilfully obscure ones, because there are so many of the former already and the latter,for me, rather miss the point. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16168: Thanks for the answers! To.answer my own: There has been a lot of unconstructive negativity on here: I would hope well intentioned criticism's not putting people off, but yeah, maybe it has. It does.seem harder to.get lots of stars than it was but inevitably it gets harder to produce something original.and standout. (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16182: chris, yeah, well spotted dude....fat fingers missed the 9...hopefully it didn't put you off too much (6 years ago)

toast @ #16183: My condiments to the compiler! And I speak - or possibly slur- as one charged extra in a French cafe as the result of a hearty squeeze of the ketchup bottle ( no charge for the waitress though so can't grumble I suppose) . (6 years ago)

Vixen @ #16177: Ditto Jody, not enough leeway in the answers, but a nice easy grid anyway, thanks :-) (6 years ago)

Fnmndndndn @ #16176: Bandog :Bandog is a general term to non-purebred dogs of any working molosser strain developed to protection work. The term Bandog is believed to have originated in the Middle Ages in England. (6 years ago)

Adee @ #16184: Got the connections but three of them for totally the wrong reasons. (6 years ago)

Adee @ #16183: Really enjoyed that one. Thanks. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16183: Thought Sailor and Leonard or Robinson must be "Jason"... it wasn't 'Tabasco" would have been a nice crossover (6 years ago)

Aidan @ #5344: Lager, Porter, Stout, Heavy...................... didn't accept Alcoholic drinks??? (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16183: never heard of sauce Diane but I'll look out for it next time in the shop (6 years ago)

Els @ #16183: great grid 10/10 good fun (6 years ago)

Jody @ #16177: drink not accepted for drink group, dance not accepted for dance group and rodent not accepted for rodent group? (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16181: On the plus side, I wasn't fooled by any red herrings. On the minus side, that's because they were too obscure to spot. (6 years ago)

chris @ #16182: Good puzzle, need to change the answer on Apollo, did not start in year 161 !!!! (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16181: Over my head, I'm afraid! 2/10 (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16182: Yep, liked this, particularly the Datsun group. Thanks. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16181: Very tricky, liked the Scrolls red herring, I spent way too much time on that. (6 years ago)

Deano @ #16180: Grand grid. Thanks (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16180: Great little grid, my 10/10 was only thwarted by my inability to spell-check "Business"...thanks for setting (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16180: Very nice, lots of false trails. Kicked myself for not getting some of these. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16176: Did you mean..... Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band? (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16180: Hmmm. I was ripping through this one but was stumped by the fox group. 7/10 for me. Good grid. (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16180: very good, didn't get many but that was my fault (6 years ago)

haywood @ #6803: keep op the grate werk (6 years ago)

haywood @ #11059: 7/10 (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16060: no more monkey business! (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16170: really cheerful, that one... (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16177: @xgofer It's not... but close enough to confound for me at least briefly.. Also Tango. Clean b ut found this v straightforward. I guess nothing intrinsically wrong with that (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16176: bandog? (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16177: "rodent" not accepted. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #1818: lemon squeezy (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16177: Got this in 19 secs... only saw one crossover... Salsa (as mole is not a rodent). Thanks for setting (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16176: Had to google Bandog and didn't know that about Pelicans. Learnt something. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16175: 10/10 - do agree with Mister Tom (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16174: Excellent. Enjoyed a lot (6 years ago)

Keb @ #98: Fun! (6 years ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #16170: Bit pedantic but I'm pretty sure the TV shows are THE Bridge and THE Killing. The absence of The may have thrown some people. Also Death and War are interchangeable making for a non-unique solution. Apart from that, good grid. (6 years ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #16176: What's a bandog? (6 years ago)

Oli @ #16171: its always a challenge to make it tough but not too tough. maybe I wnet too tough this time :P (6 years ago)

JENNY SHULLY @ #48: Much fun was had here - but I do agree that this should be categorised as easy. All is forgiven for the wonderful palindromes, however. Doc note, I dissent: a fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod. (6 years ago)

JENNY SHULLY @ #685: A fine grid (6 years ago)

JENNY SHULLY @ #16177: Great grid! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16171: Hmmmm. Fiendish is right. Scored one. (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16175: Did get the siege one. A bit of a mix of under -and under the- one or the other might have been better. But 4*, because a minor quibble and otherwise vg. (6 years ago)

Johnathan Innes @ #4200: Very good my dude (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16174: You're quite correct haywood, although my reasoning was that he was probably better known by Jim, wonder if they ever made it big? (6 years ago)

Pogglefish @ #16170: My apologies to anyone who tried “Nordic” as a solution for the TV line; I included all other possible words for Scandanavian but forgot about that one. Give yourself an extra point if you got an incorrect for that reason. (6 years ago)

Lyndon @ #16170: Should imagine no one solved this - too harsh (6 years ago)

Lyndon @ #16171: no chance (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16118: rhyming synonyms ahahahahaha effing priceless! Er, no. (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16139: velly good (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16174: Nice grid, clever clues. I believe there was also a James Douglas Morrisson who was a singer for an obscure little L.A. band in the late 60s. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16175: Nice crossovers. I couldn't see the 'Siege' connection, so just 7/10 for me. (6 years ago)

Marshawn Lynchberg @ #16159: I tried 'Money' for the 'Time' group. Not seen the spelling of Johhny before. (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16171: Fiendish. (6 years ago)

Anon @ #16175: Tricky! But enjoyable. (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16174: TY :) (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16174: Loved this. Thanks. Great crossovers. (6 years ago)

Wordie @ #16140: Good grid (6 years ago)

Tony (el tigre) @ #16110: loved this quiz! (6 years ago)

king arthur @ #16158: pretty brutal to not allow "items carried/wielded by gods." don't see a bolt as a weapon except when used by Zeus/Jupiter... (6 years ago)

king arthur @ #16162: this was great! reminded me to wear my peacoat more often. (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #16118: Gavinj (even though you will probably never see this) he means the synonyms of these words rhyme Cook - Bake Rouse - Wake Counterfeit - Fake Shatter - Break Not my favourite type of connection. (6 years ago)

BusyBee @ #16126: Doom group didn't accept Emordnilap or Semordnilap Also b group could equally use n (6 years ago)

Dh @ #16159: Litter should be allowed (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16170: Good. Liked the little subherrings. I've found your grids tough nuts but this was definitely On the fair side of the harsh but fair line. A couple of ideas were familiar but it$s so hard to.avoid that these days! (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16170: Oooof. Big zero for me. (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16168: Very enjoyable and tricky. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16168: This one got a 5 from me for clever, tricky crossovers. Don't know if it's just me, but the 'audience' seems to be getting more critical, which is a shame. I've noticed quite a few of the regular grid-setters dropping by the wayside. Maybe a coincidence. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16168: I drop to 3 if there's something 'wrong' in the grid. Four is my standard (grid works, spelling & capitalisation are correct) whether I solve it or not. Five is for particularly clever, enjoyable or original grids. I have given lower than 3 for grids that have deliberately made no sense or have been verging on offensive. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16167: Yep all good. Didn't know the ISIS connection - looked it up - learned something. Thanks. (6 years ago)

Fifi @ #16004: Love themed grids- great fun! (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16168: Much like JonBob, a 3 from me means there were errors which affected it. Originally I gave everyone a 5 for quality if there were no errors. Now, in lieu of there being a way to signify the enjoyment factor, I give 4s unless I found it an outstanding grid. No point having a five point scale if you don't use its full range, I think. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16168: I know that grids below 3 stars drop off the front page for most people, so I rarely rate below 4 unless I see something actually broken. I try not to rate low just because it's hard. I'll give a 4 if a couple of the groups seem like bigger stretches. If it's too easy or too hard, that's still a 5 but a 5 that gets an "easy" or "fiendish" on the other scale. (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16167: Nice crossovers. (6 years ago)

chris @ #16159: nice one (6 years ago)

chris @ #16161: very good (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16168: (Not just you...) (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16168: So. Following on from. The discussion on #16157... what makes you give a grid 1/2/3/4/5 stars? (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16168: Saw 3 solutions but just couldn't get the groupings in time. 4/10 (6 years ago)

Jodie Draper @ #2216: This was rubbish. The links were weak at best (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16167: Very clever and very difficult! (6 years ago)

Jon @ #16156: Excellent. Just made it. (6 years ago)

p @ #1497: pish (6 years ago)

Asciliam @ #16161: Good one. I liked the 'rat' group, didn't get it until the end. (6 years ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16157: good fun grid ignore the jobsworths (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16164: 6/10. Nice grid. Didn't know 'Votive'. Looked it up. Learned something. (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16162: pea jacket is more common (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16161: Cheers guys, haywood, I'm sorry , IMO....the BR's were just bloody awful, apart from I Don't like Mondays (6 years ago)

knife @ #16159: I think "Johhny" should be accepted (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16161: Enjoyed that. Thanks. Haywood, you missed out one of the nahs. It goes....... Daaaaaah, nah, nah (nah nah nah nah nah nah nah) (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16161: Lost one star for derogatory comment about brilliant boomtown rats. Da, na na (nah nah nah nah nah nah) (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16162: EPLQ (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16162: Nice grid. Never heard of the 'Pea' answer - looked it up - learned something. (6 years ago)

anthony @ #16162: a good grid well done (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #14594: Grids reasonably easy, but for the love of God sort your definitions out for the answers (6 years ago)

uwot mate @ #14627: YH MATE THAT WAS EASY NO PROBLEMO MATE (6 years ago)

uwot mate @ #14594: Wolves ay we, Wolves ay we, Wolves ay we and were wolves ay we. NUNO HAD A DREAM TO BUILD A FOOTBALL TEAM, WITH CHINESE OWNERS AND A WONDERKID FROM PORTO 5 AT THE BACK AND PACE IN ATACK WERE WOLVERHAMPTON WERE ON OUR WAY BACK (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16161: Thanks for the constructive criticism Nige xx Have a great day (6 years ago)

Aidan McCarthy @ #368: Should surely have allowed "Cards" for the tarot connection. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16159: Time seemed a bit tenuous, otherwise good. (6 years ago)

truecockney @ #16157: I'm not a professional puzzle setter (far from it) and try to take things on board. Maybe I should have put "position" in the diving clue, but oh well. As long as it has been understood, I don't care. And maybe we have influenced the next Only Connect series with our ideas :) (6 years ago)

Mr.Nigel Coyne @ #16161: shyte (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16150: I hold my hands up on the Ire line... just didn't notice that. But, I did rate this as fiendish when I posted it. Trying to add a bit of variety - it's not going work all the time. (6 years ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16161: good grid, 7/10, didn't see the rat (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16161: Cheers First (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16161: Good one (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16157: Nice one! Things seem to be getting quite critical these days. We all try to set good grids, and be original, but we all make the occasional mistake, or misjudge how solvable a grid might be. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16151: Nicely put together. Easy for me as soon as I saw roan! (6 years ago)

DH @ #16157: love it (6 years ago)

fluffy bunny @ #16151: nice puz (6 years ago)

carol @ #10575: scream! bun not accepted. neither was skilled jobs. honestly the quality of the grids is good but the quality of the answer connections is positively dire. i'll have to stop getting in tizzy about them....!! (6 years ago)

carol @ #10579: ways of communicating was not accepted - answer - ways of communication!!! what!!!???? this drives me NUTS (6 years ago)

carol @ #10599: sorry, this was weak. tenuous connections altogether. and.... are you American or cant you spell? (6 years ago)

carol @ #10600: once again - sigh - happens soooo much - the horribly weak link in enjoying these grids is the poor quality of the answer acceptance criteria. spoils it for me. (6 years ago)

Jody @ #16157: Ignore the haters - quality grid! Thanks (6 years ago)

chris @ #16159: good onw (6 years ago)

xwe8123 @ #16158: Not bad. I'd say that a bolt isn't a weapon just as a bullet isn't. And a starfish isn't a fish but the grid was doable and enjoyable. (6 years ago)

carol @ #10741: common romantic gifts, i'm sorry, is totally daft. seems like you were raking about looking for a fourth connecting idea and just plucked it out of the air! (6 years ago)

bb @ #16157: Liked it. "Pike" isn't a somersault, by the way. In the pike position the legs are straight rather than bent at the knees as in the tuck position. (6 years ago)

carol @ #10792: Orchid - def no! And the colours of power rangers not good. Could be absolutely anything. And my 26 year old son LOVED power rangers so we watched it all the time and he had many costumes! (6 years ago)

carol @ #10875: preceded by ore or pre still wrong!! (6 years ago)

carol @ #10894: heavens above - it is Zebedee - attention to detail needed!!! (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16157: ... I was wrong 🤣 (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #11667: @Carol no-one else is keeping score. Some time ago I realised- if you know the link no need to type it in... (6 years ago)

haywood @ #16147: not a Queen fan. crat not acccepted. (6 years ago)

carol @ #11667: OMG I said flintstone characters but was wrong as the answer was flintstones characters. I think the name was in the singular and both should be acceptable. I know this grid was done a year or so ago, but still frustrating to a new tryer as I am. (6 years ago)

chris @ #16157: nice grid (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16102: Perfectly cromulent (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16157: Groups fine, needed crossovers. Can't please anyone some days, can you? (6 years ago)

P @ #16156: Excellent challenge. Knowledge for one group a bit narrow for the mainstream. (6 years ago)

P @ #16157: Three excellent groups, one a bit dodgy. Good grid though. (6 years ago)

Smudge @ #16135: Love this one, well compiled! (6 years ago)

Jeff @ #16152: Nobody stands a chance with this grid if they haven't seen the kids cartoon it entirely refers to. So I marked it as fiendish even though I don't think it's a good grid generally. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16151: Yep, enjoyed this. (6 years ago)

Me @ #7185: Don't know why it wouldn't accept ales. (6 years ago)

Pamela @ #16102: We like you, I don't know why others aren't commenting (6 years ago)

bonehead @ #16147: crat not accepted chiz otherwise ok (6 years ago)

JonBob @ #16150: Some fun connections, but I feel that this style tends to work better when it's just one or two groups that work this way, rather than all of them. In addition to T, the Ire line works with SP! I'd bet there is at least one alternate solution here somewhere, just because you have so many small fragments involved. (6 years ago)

Lyndon @ #16150: THE OBJECT OF COMPILING THESE IS TO MAKE THEM DIFFICULT - THESE ARE TOO OBSCURE (6 years ago)

Eagleeyes @ #16150: Unfortunately the ire line also works simply with T. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16146: Nice 10/10. Only heard of 'True' so I wasn't expecting to get that group right. Nice surprise. (6 years ago)

Vixen @ #16147: Ditto your comments on my grid 16139... Still enjoyed it though, makes you think! :-) (6 years ago)

knife @ #16146: Good; nice and neat. Simple but tricky crossovers (6 years ago)

Me @ #7310: I put in pre decimal currency & it came up as incorrect. Very easy. (6 years ago)

chris @ #16144: well constructed (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16145: Perhaps a little football heavy but a good grid. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16144: Good grid... score well but more thru luck than judgement! haha. Thought the Bran group was a little obscure... (6 years ago)

MikeF @ #16136: Good grid 10/10 (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16144: Nice. I probably should have got the 'Vic' connection - but didn't. (6 years ago)

zac tudor @ #11619: easy but fun (6 years ago)

Fifi @ #16115: That was good fun! (6 years ago)

Fifi @ #4582: Really nice, I enjoyed it! (6 years ago)

Fifi @ #8467: Fun to do, thanks (6 years ago)

Fifi @ #11695: Perhaps it's better not to read the comments before doing the grid; that way nobody can be offended and we can all leave comments about what we like about each grid in detail. J ust a thought. Peace, fun and puzzgrid love. (6 years ago)

Vixen @ #16139: Fair point, when I imagined this grid (in the middle of the night) it didn't seem too hard, but the next day while I was submitting it, I thought I'd gone too far with the crossovers...Should have left a couple out :-) (6 years ago)

knife @ #16136: Top of the range - inventive, entertaining, challenging, just what these grids should be (6 years ago)

Peekay @ #16139: Good grid, BUT, i thought there were too many crossovers, as FirstGofer said, saw the groups but so many choices, couldn't resolve them (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #16138: Thought this group fair tho only recognised 3 of the 4- the 4th was easily guessable (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16138: @ Lyndon, I don't think so, it's a very well known franchise and their silly names are widely mocked. A good grid I thought. (6 years ago)

Aidan McCarthy @ #4155: Pitch, Field, Diamond and Court are playing areas, NOT sporting venues!! (6 years ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #16140: good grid some how I got 7/10 (6 years ago)

Lyndon @ #16138: Bond girls too obscure (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16139: Found this really hard... saw so many potential groups, only scored once the grid had resolved. (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16138: Excellent (6 years ago)

Kit @ #4582: A wind instrument is any instrument you play with your breath. All of these clearly qualify. (6 years ago)

carol @ #12397: good (6 years ago)

FirstGofer @ #16129: Quality but fiendish... 2/10 (6 years ago)

carol @ #12470: agree completely with Nellington, as the answer area (when I sometimes get the grids right) irks me the most. as for spelling errors I often take it as read that the creator has misspelt words!!! tho I missed spurn for sprun (6 years ago)

Homer Simpson @ #16124: D'OH! Fell for it. Hook, line, sinker, rod and copy of Angling Times. (6 years ago)

Aetees @ #16127: Really enjoyed this one. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16127: Thanks for this. Very clever. Had to google the Julia Donaldson group. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16126: Nice. 10/10 but I didn't deserve it. I somehow fluked the moon connection with a different (wrong) answer that somehow was accepted. (6 years ago)

Only Me @ #16126: Nice. 10/10 but I didn't deserve it. I somehow fluked the moon connection with a different (wrong) answer that somehow was accepted. (6 years ago)

Vixen @ #16122: Loving your work, 6/10 couldn't sort groups quick enough, but knew what they were :-) (6 years ago)

knife @ #16122: Not bad, but being a pedant I get a bit miffed by grammatical sloppiness. "tolerate delays" is a verb, "patience" is a noun. Makes guessing the answer difficult in my opinion. But, as I say, otherwise neat. (6 years ago)

kittymcg @ #16104: Loved the buffalo bit :-) (6 years ago)

Matt @ #16108: and FirstGofer: Potrait could go with lenses and 'self serve' is a thing (6 years ago)

toast @ #16115: Nicely judged so as not to delay my departure for the pub. Thanks. (6 years ago)

j @ #16115: Would not accept 'pork' for the category which included meat from a pig. Also would not accept 'gaits' for walking verbs, but that one is more understandable (6 years ago)

Marg @ #14282: Biblical characters should be accepted and Brian ferry a water crossing?! (6 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #3876: Still fun... needed another colour, ideally (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16116: Very very hard (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16117: Very good (6 years ago)

Neil @ #16118: Poor, rhyming synonyms - wtf? (6 years ago)

OnlyConnectChap @ #16117: Superb. The Pupil line really threw me off the scent. The only time I've given a 5/5. (6 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #16119: Hard going. The "pop" one seemed a bit arbitrary to me. And it's weasel, not that that really matters (6 years, 1 month ago)

Johnny @ #16103: You can also just add -ry to get 4 valid words. (6 years, 1 month ago)

B @ #15982: Pure evil. I loved it. (6 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnectChap @ #16119: Well done! Imaginative and challenging. 4/5 (6 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnectChap @ #16120: Some of the lines are really enjoyable. Good effort, 3/5. (6 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnectChap @ #16116: Certainly not one of my favourites, but nonetheless interesting to some extent. 3/5 (6 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnectChap @ #16118: I am sorry to say, that this is a really poorly made grid! Some lines are especially weak (the Slack line) and others unnecessarily obscure (the Cook line). Please put more effort into future grids. 1/5 stars from me. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16103: JonBob: Thanks! Wanted to try something a little different than the norm. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16104: Jim: Och, I think you're right. There was some degree of intentional chicanery there, but I think I might have gotten a bit carried away. Well-spotted, sorry for what I think is an oversight, and thanks for playing. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16108: Liam Flag: Very welcome, and thanks for your feedback! I guess I got a little bored over Labor Day weekend. :) (6 years, 1 month ago)

reece @ #9875: nice (6 years, 1 month ago)

GavinJ @ #16118: Still don't get the Cook line. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16119: That was tough... couldn't sort the last 2 groups in time. Slight quibble that cricket would generally follow, not precede. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16118: Good potential but found the Slack line a bit tenuous... and i'd be surprised if many get the Cook line (glad to be proved wrong on that!) (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16117: Very well put together... only 5/10 for me as I was a bit slow to get started! (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16113: @Mister Tom... that made me laugh! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #16107: Suspect this was still easier for your side of the pond: could see 3 group's but not quite resolve them. Good grid tho (6 years, 1 month ago)

PanAlto @ #16117: Need to brush up on my wrecks. Good one. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #16110: Ditto (6 years, 1 month ago)

Johnny @ #16115: Lies - Wrong Verbs - Wrong Ham - Wrong ...and "Roger Over and Out" isn't a thing. Found that all very odd. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Liam Flag @ #16110: I liked the Siegfried and Roy group. Very clever (6 years, 1 month ago)

Liam Flag @ #16108: Thanks for creating a ton of new grids recently. Must have taken you quite some time. 7/10 on this for me as I had no chance with the nasty line. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #16115: Really liked it! Pedantic note: the description for "over and out" is incorrect; the three words all have different significance in that lingo, and "over" and "out" are mutually exclusive and wouldn't be used together contrary to popular culture. (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #16115: Great fun and great explanations as always (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #16113: Was sure there was going to.be a "unfortunate things to find in the white house" group... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #16115: Two thumbs up is a lovely accolade. Cheers Firstgofer and thank you Anthony. (6 years, 1 month ago)

anthony @ #16115: a good grid (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #16103: Cute! I think the Scorpio and MTV connections are a bit of a stretch, but loved some of the other things you came up with. (6 years, 1 month ago)

David @ #87: Too much eurovision (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #16107: It's amazing how I see British spellings of these words all the time in grids, but then completely fail to notice when American spellings are suddenly used because they are second nature to me. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16115: Two thumbs up! (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16108: FirstGofer: There are several of them. (6 years, 1 month ago)

edwardo @ #186: Oddly I got this one in 30 seconds flat. Lovely grid though. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16112: Didn't affect my score... still wouldn't have got that link! Lol. Good grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16113: Clever, difficult, scored 3/10 but still enjoyed it. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16112: Apologies in advance - there is an error in this grid. I need to stop making them on my stupid smartphone and stick to an actual PC or laptop. "Love" should be "Lover". Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16083: Cheers, glad people are enjoying it. Shame it's been buried from the homepage with that guy that just submitted about a million grids though haha. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Tyson @ #15830: For "Apple products" we put "i" and got it wrong (6 years, 1 month ago)

Jim @ #16067: Fun grid, and I'm really enjoying your grids so far. I'll admit the Psycho group duped me too, but I liked the idea. Maybe I'd have gotten them if the group were Petal, Pie, Peg, and Pad...but, even so, maybe not. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Jim @ #16104: Good grid. Not sure if this was intentional chicanery, but I notice there's an alternate solution if you cycle Gram to the Phone group, Phone to the Dollar group, Dollar to the Pound group, and Pound to the Gram group. (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #16087: The holiday line is great! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #16095: 2 flows... (6 years, 1 month ago)

haywood @ #16071: 10/10 lemon squeezy, can't believe I actually got the brady bunch clue, embarrassing. Must be "Marcia", never met an actual human with that name. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Vixen @ #16083: 7/10, despite being a self confessed Italophile and having managed those restaurants all my life... Total fail on tongue line! Really great grid! :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

haywood @ #16069: Ain't never heard none demder K9s (6 years, 1 month ago)

haywood @ #16070: Not bad, 7/10, didn't get the anagrams. Would have included Count Count in the Count line just to throw confusion. I liked it (6 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #16086: Nice accessible one, although I felt E on its own was a bit tenuous. Have to admit I'd never heard of the term bender; nice to learn something new (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16086: Good one, thanks! (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16083: You well and truly stumped me there. Found my 'way in' with Furlong group, but reckoned 2 of them had most meanings and therefore missed. A very clever, challenging grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Yeldir @ #16082: Good grid, missed the Thelma group due to seeing hidden Gods in 3 of the words (assumed 4th was one I didn't know) inclusing Hel Norse Goddess of Death). (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16082: Great grid... very challenging without being esoteric. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16082: Excellent grid, scored 10/10 but it was a struggle to do so. Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Only Me @ #16082: Loved this. Great crossovers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Dh @ #16081: Too complicated and vague (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #16082: Nice! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Me @ #10875: (6 years, 1 month ago)

Yeldir @ #16065: Enjoyed that one. Monkey as a verb means silly behaviour - more commonly used as Monkey about or Monkey around - which sticks for me after watching the Monkees tv show growing up (6 years, 1 month ago)

Hiccup @ #15498: Asceticism doesn't necessarily involve withdrawing from society. Nice one otherwise. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16072: Inspired use of a classic theme. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16074: Good one - 10/10 in 38 seconds. Some specialist knowledge required. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16075: Purple Aki was a deliberate Easter egg haha. Didn't think many people would know who he was. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #16075: 3/10... been a while since we've had a 'raga man'. Excellent stuff - enjoyed it. (6 years, 1 month ago)

DH @ #16067: If I was stranded on a desert island with just this puzzle I probably would get the "Psycho" group, with a week of concerted effort. Otherwise fine!! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16068: A bit too difficult to be enjoyable in my opinion but others who are smarter or more creative might enjoy it. Scored 2/10. Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #16065: Nice, but grammar is a bit wonky on the monkey one. Monkey business is silly behavious, not monkey on its own. MInor quibble though. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Computer Science 1 @ #16057: Quite significantly bad (6 years, 1 month ago)

LMW_Tokyo @ #16067: Thanks for the feedback! I was wondering about that maybe being too hard. This is only the 6th one I've done, so I'm still trying to find the right balance. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #16067: Liked it overall. The "Psycho" group is really rough, though; hiding tiny things in big words is on the wrong side of "difficult" for me personally. I'd like that a lot better if they all started with or ended with the thing we were looking for, rather than just being hidden somewhere. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Computer Science 1 @ #16068: This stimulated my processors (6 years, 1 month ago)

carol @ #12781: I said 'awt' and was wrong as answer was, exceedingly strangely, 'or'. as a Scot I would say the vowel sound was 'aw' not 'or', and since all the words ended in 't' surely 'awt' is correct. grids are great but the answer ranges are sometimes absolutely awful. I cant understand why no-one else gets quite so annoyed as me with the crazy expected answers!!!! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Golfer444 @ #16060: SPOILERS AHEAD Orangutan's and Apes aren't Monkeys. They are, however, Primates which is the answer I gave to no avail. I also got cheated by answering "domestic animals" instead of "they are all pets you can keep at home." Final Score: 6/10 (6 years, 1 month ago)

Me @ #16060: Hello! Just so you know, there are a couple of mistakes. First, "gorrila" should be spelled "gorilla". Second, "ape", "orangutan" and "gorilla" are not all monkeys. I think you mean "primates". (Monkeys are a kind of primate.) Third, I wrote "planet" for one connection, and "pet" for another, but they were marked wrong. When you write the answers, check the spelling, and use the singular. (For example, "pet", not "pets".) I don't want to be mean, just helpful! I hope you're having fun making these. (I'm new at this, myself.) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Golfer444 @ #16061: Not "very easy" when connections can be ruled out for not containing certain words. Others will see what I mean. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16044: Good one. Scored 6/10 after getting a bit lost in the Cavill and Fonda groups. Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #16058: A good concept. Tricky to organise them into groups of four though considering a few of them were ambiguous. Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

LMW @ #16047: The hockey one was clever. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Fridge @ #16051: Great grid. And I'd like to defend the author, having read the comments. Firstly, words formed entirely and solely from the first letter of each word, are called Initialisms, which is a type of acronym but nonetheless a different class. Scuba would be an Initialism, whereas Radar and Sonar contain not just the first but multiple letters from their components (RADio Detection And Ranging, SOund Navigation and Ranging) and as such are just regular acronyms, just as Gestapo (GEheime STAatsPOlitzei), so if any word doesn't fit that group it's Scuba, but it does as they are all perfectly defined as acronyms. Secondly, whilst Mir was a collaboration it was absolutely a NASA mission. Admittedly it's the Mir Shuttle Program but has often been referred to by even NASA itself as the Mir Program. Excellent grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Nb @ #16053: Probably easier if you are American but too tough for me (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #16051: Gestapo is an abbreviation built from the first few letters of the component words, as opposed to the initial letter of each word. It does seem that this is sometimes still called an acronym, but it's not the definition I'm familiar with personally. It's nitpicking, but this distinction does make it feel different than the rest of the items in the group, which makes the connection seem weaker than it otherwise could be. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Omegaman @ #16035: Bridge not accepted and prison not accepted but otherwise enjoyable. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #16051: "Gestapo" is listed here as an acronym. https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/GESTAPO Mir is listed here as a NASA mission, albeit a collaborative one. But I concede that I should have maybe been a bit more careful here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NASA_missions#Crewed_missions Thanks for playing, all the same! (6 years, 1 month ago)

bob @ #16051: Got all the groups and connections, with some guesswork and elimination. Mainly because Gestapo doesn't fit its group, as it isn't an acronym. And Mir was a Soviet/Russian space program, nothing to do with NASA (fortunately space program was accepted, so it didn't affect the score). (6 years, 1 month ago)

Johnny @ #16030: V, C, P, B could be linked so many ways (e.g. add -an to make new words) Same goes for Y, W, F, H (e.g. Capital letters consisting of straight lines only) Yip isn't a golf term, it's a general sporting term. Thought this was all a bit too whimsical. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15982: Thanks guys, I was hoping it would be frustrating-but-fun, so it's nice to see these sorts of comments. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Johnny @ #15982: Also fell for it. One of the best. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Jon Hancock @ #15982: Cor, annoying , couldn't get the Normandy beaches out of my head. brill fun (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15985: I enjoyed that, didn't score very well but it was a fair grid. As a minor quibble I didn't have 'drugs' accepted for the drugs line. Cheers mate. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15983: I don't think I have ever heard the PM's referred to by those names, except for Cameron on occasion. Otherwise a good grid. Thanks for posting. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Annie oakley @ #15984: Easy Grid with just the right amount of red herrings (6 years, 1 month ago)

cheminion @ #15982: An excellent grid, I too walked down the massive blind alley, but recovered in time to finish the grid with 10s to spare. Thanks for setting. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Sam Sonite @ #15982: Very clever use of red herrings, very enjoyable. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15974: Good grid... missed the answer to the Road group! I was happy with the breadth of answers accepted (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15982: I fell for your ruse, darn you!!! Excellent grid. Only 5/10 because I wasted too much time on 'you know what'. Challenging but very solvable. (6 years, 1 month ago)

KenP @ #1128: Fully agree with MArK. never been a Carry On London. Rubbish. Do some homeowrk before subjecting us to this load of .... (6 years, 1 month ago)

KenP @ #15956: It would help if you had the correct spelling of Napoleon. It can become a spelling test at the best of times. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Simon @ #15974: links need to consider synonyms of answers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Bc @ #15974: 1st time. Need more practice to score properly (6 years, 1 month ago)

Liz @ #15956: Frustrating that napoleon was incorrectly spelled!! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Liz @ #15974: Solved grid but didn’t get links correct! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Miranda @ #15974: Thanks, good grid (6 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #15971: "preceded" rather than "followed" I think (6 years, 1 month ago)

Ed @ #15974: Thanks -enjoyed almost solving it! (6 years, 1 month ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15978: simple but clever (6 years, 1 month ago)

Degaleg @ #15972: I got all the connections but not one of my answers were accepted. Seems to require exactly what you’ve entered as the answer, for example, football songs wasn’t accepted. If you add multiple answers split by commas this helps, plus shortened versions of words “foot” for “football”, this helps. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Degaleg @ #15971: 10/10 only due to my penchant for all things nerdy. Danny group may be a bit obscure for some for a medium grid, I enjoyed this one, thanks! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Kirstie @ #15925: This was well easy, try harder nOOBs (6 years, 1 month ago)

Kirstie @ #15912: I agree andy, imagine if it's seven, that would be craaaazzy, amirite? (6 years, 1 month ago)

Franklin @ #2059: casino games casinos online best online casino casino online slot game (6 years, 1 month ago)

David @ #80: I feel the Camel etc. group should accept "living creatures". (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #15945: Really enjoyed this. Thank you. I have heard of large. It's the kind of thing you'd hear in Lock, Stock: Gimme fifty large... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Robbo62 @ #15892: Good grid but would class it as easy. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #15962: Nice grid. 10/10 but was fun working out the groupings. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Me @ #7825: Wouldn't accept Daily for the newspapers (6 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #15931: good, straightforward and not too difficult (6 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #15934: sensible and difficulty level about right (6 years, 1 month ago)

Ian @ #15956: Very nice grid, (6 years, 1 month ago)

Jon @ #15954: Found it really easy (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15942: A fun one - scored 10/10 but there were some nice overlaps to stop it being too straightforward. Cheers! (6 years, 1 month ago)

carol @ #13487: I think synonyms was naff, sorry. surely if you gave the connection (point of these grids??!) then that should be correct too. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Megan @ #7062: Of course I had no idea who or what Pugwash is. Hard as a non-Brit. (6 years, 1 month ago)

ksuchak1990 @ #13037: Probably one of the most fun grids I've seen - nice one! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Harry @ #15956: Good apart from spelling Napoleon wrong! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Me @ #7088: Wouldn't accept Porridge (6 years, 1 month ago)

Johnny @ #15955: Same. Only scored 4 but great grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

PurpleAki @ #2026: should accept 'synonyms' (6 years, 1 month ago)

Paratus @ #1839: Harder than a great big bag of hard things. (6 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #15954: 10/10 so I liked it :) (6 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #15956: Napoleon marked wrong for me.. My spelling was correct ! 7/10 because of that (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mr Spratt @ #15892: Leave us fish alone (6 years, 1 month ago)

David @ #79: I feel Barrel etc. should accept measures. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #15956: 7/10 for me and it really irritated me because you've spelt Napoleon wrong. Other than that it would be a good grid but that has ruined it. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #9769: Interesting looking back... I think contemporary grids tend to be a lot tougher, and of course would get battered for having old chestnuts like these in. Ok for beginners but needed more crossovers (a phrase my phone has now learnt) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15954: I liked it. I enjoy grids the most when I get 10/10 but have to work hard for it, like I did here. Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

carol @ #13747: dearie me... dyslexic people - please get information, syntax, spellings, etc, checked before you post your grid... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Helen Grant @ #15959: I should have gone incognito like your other contestants. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Helen Grant @ #15959: I put "song" instead of Talking Heads. The last group must be the red herrings but it didn't like that answer either. :-( (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15957: Nice, but remember to capitalise (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15959: Eclectic, and thanks for reminding me of the existence of magnetic fields, but without crossovers it's not really my idea of a grid (6 years, 1 month ago)

Ex-King of Spain @ #15959: Now I eat humble pie (6 years, 1 month ago)

Bob (office below) @ #15959: Open the door. I'm hungry. (6 years, 1 month ago)

David Bowie @ #15959: Drink nothing but champagne (6 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #15957: pleased to have done this one, very good with all those queen crossovers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Omegaman @ #15945: Confectionary ☑ sweets ✖ ???? (6 years, 1 month ago)

Pamela @ #15887: Excellent (6 years, 1 month ago)

BrodieF @ #15954: A few inaccuracies in the answers, but not a bad grid. I'd say word groups should either be "can be followed by" or "can be preceded by" and not both. But that's just my opinion. (6 years, 1 month ago)

BrodieF @ #15955: Didn't manage to solve this one fully but it's a nice grid. Pretty tough. 4/5, 4/5. (6 years, 1 month ago)

BrodieF @ #15956: Nice little quiz and groups, but pretty easy. Check the spelling of your answer groups too! (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15956: Excellent! And thank you for the explanations. (6 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #15956: I also made the mistake of spelling Napoleon correctly, so only 7/10 (6 years, 1 month ago)

Your_Name @ #15956: napoleon... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Pag @ #15954: Enjoyable first grid. Thanks (6 years, 1 month ago)

truecockney @ #15940: Duly noted. I'll try to give some explanations for items I think are a bit more unusual (and I'm trying to get some crossovers, but I feel that is making it much more difficult to make these versions). It's impossible to please everyone all the time :) (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15945: Never heard of large in that context and 'ten one-hundreds' feels a little contrived. Be careful of spelling, esp in answers - confectionery (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15941: Need to expand the accepted answers slightly. Synonyms for brave not accepted. Also, the Dare group has another correct answer - they are all games (board or otherwise). (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15940: Straightforward and enjoyable. I concur that explanations are always appreciated... (6 years, 1 month ago)

4by4 @ #15934: Peter Capaldi regenerated into Jodie Whittaker (the 13th doctor) in the 2017 Christmas special. This was her first appearance as the Doctor. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15935: Was never going to get the Sneak group. Like the Sketch group... which personally I think works, even though I didn't get it! (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15934: Whittaker hasn't debuted yet, so 'all have played' isn't strictly accurate in our timeline. I admit, tenses are complicated where time travel is involved. What do we want? Time Travel! When do we want it? Whenever... (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15933: 3/10... agree with Andy. I found it Fiendish! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Eagleeyes @ #15954: Thought it was Houses of Parliament - not aware of it being referred to in the singular. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15951: That's my sister's name! :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15948: The Banksy group is brutal, American or not. No real "in" on that one. The Las Vegas line is American-centric but not overly obscure save one of them. The Vowel group is very clever (I missed it completely). (6 years, 1 month ago)

Jn @ #15930: First 10/10 for a while. Really liked this one (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15948: A bit too American for me but a decent grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

GIFFnotJIFF @ #15950: Was a bit disappointed to lose a point when I put 'ranks' instead of 'titles' - otherwise pretty good. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Eagleeyes @ #15949: The owl line also works with F. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Simon Williams @ #481: solutions need to have a less defined terms, accepting more generic terms. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15951: Same here. BARB? Once you get/guess that group it all collapses, unfortunately I took 2'50" to do so (6 years, 1 month ago)

DH @ #15938: Really enjoyable challenge (6 years, 1 month ago)

바카라사이트 @ #15774: I am not talking over cost-free pens and espresso mugs with your emblem to them, I am speaking concerning the digital immediate obtain supplies. I know well that difficulty doesn't essentially mean terrible, but I favor to stay away from such sports. Set a limit on how long you are going to play and just how much money you would like to risk. https://thekingcasinos.com/baccaratsite/ (6 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #15951: not bad.... but why have I never met anyone called Barb? (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15935: Cool. I did wonder how that would go down. I thought it was clever and challenging but also a bit unorthodox to say the least. Nice to hear both sides I guess. Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #15925: Too hard for me but a great concept (6 years, 1 month ago)

ANGRY BEEVER @ #15941: Synonyms for brave. Not accepted. Surely just the word brave being in there means it should be accepted. DISAPPOINTING! (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #15940: Explanations are most definitely appreciated. The effort is noticed. It always great to learn something new. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Johnny @ #15935: Gotta say, I disagree, I thought it was the best group! Thought all the synonyms were legitimate. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15947: I would have thought catarrh rather than cutter- even seeing the group i couldnt work out what you meant. Maybe your newsrreaders pronounce it differently to ours... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15941: Isnt Pascal Gross the current one? And Christian the briefly hilarious spurs manager*? Fun anyway. * Ok, one of the... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15940: TBH there's always google for explanations, but nice to know they are appreciated... Agree, this was surprisingly resolvable, despite the crossovers (yay!) (6 years, 1 month ago)

cheminion @ #15938: enjoyable grid, thanks for setting. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15940: One of your easier entries in this style. Nice. Instead of always saying "can all be linked by," it would be helpful if you briefly explained the connections, at least for things that are cultural references or a bit oblique. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15935: Yeah, that's a really fair criticism. I wouldn't have been able to phrase it so nicely. The "tie" and "conclude" connections are completely fair and very clever, but the other two stretch the concept a bit far. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15904: I agree - this one was way too hard, too. Must have been in a crabby mood that day or something. Sorry! (6 years, 1 month ago)

threeferrets @ #15938: Nice (6 years, 1 month ago)

DH @ #15935: challenging but good. the draw category is too tough iMHO: - draw as a noun (tie) - draw as a verb (sketch) that can be both transitive and intransitive: "I drew", "I drew a kitty cat" other 2 senses of draw that are intransitive verbs only Elicit is "draw out" only, isn't it, like a"draw out" is idomatic for Elicit? Conclude same is "draw to an close" or other similar phrases This answer *elicits*a sigh from me, and as I "draw this rant to an end" i say good day sir (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15934: Too hard for me but well set. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15938: Excellent grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Squiggle @ #15822: Why does it insist on 'all'? Put in 'cocktails' and was told incorrect. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15933: I have to disagree with the below comment about it being straightforward. Scored 3/10 but did kick myself about a couple of them afterwards admittedly. Nice grid. Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #15930: 10-/10...good grid..I kept trying to find a "David" group until I figured Bowie knife..:) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #12836: Good fun and lovely mix of options. Didn’t see the vowels though! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Kyle @ #15933: Found this one relatively easy, but a very nice grid overall. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15930: Excellent, one of the best I've done recently. Some really neat overlaps. Scored 7/10 after not identifying Bowie. Cheers! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15931: Good one. I scored 3/10. Never heard of Pay Dirt - could it be a North American term? Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15929: I wish there were a way to delete grids, or at least mark them as defective (is there? I can't find one). Peter shouldn't be in there, the grid is incorrect. Sorry folks. (6 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #15930: nice simple grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15930: Nice and straightforward enough. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15929: Peter? (6 years, 1 month ago)

Paratus @ #15910: Needs to be factually correct. The start of the 12th Century was the year 1101, not 1100. It might still be a binary number but you're giving wrong definitions for the answers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #2277: Recommended (6 years, 1 month ago)

Squiggle @ #15885: Enjoyed this... enough intrigue to tickle the grey cells. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15929: Good grid - a couple of well obscure clues scuppered me. 5/10 (6 years, 1 month ago)

GIFFnotJIFF @ #15320: Never heard of Laios, must brush up Irish counties (6 years, 1 month ago)

GIFFnotJIFF @ #15325: Some good crossover but it didn't take long after the cru- clue (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15925: Spotted the theme, but way too obscure for me - 0/10 (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mike A @ #15911: (6 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #15922: nice grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15925: Quirky. Should have trusted you on the cars front. Spotted the theme eventually. Nice work. (6 years, 1 month ago)

rabbit @ #9384: Any way you can change the 02 to O2? not sure if possible but not really consistent/fair as is. otherwise nice quiz (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15920: Quaint group rather sticks out for me. (6 years, 1 month ago)

cheminion @ #15920: 6/10 - Excellent grid this - loved the choice of categories. As with bonehead I went PMs and was annoyed not to be given it before I realised. Thanks for setting. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15921: IGNORE - there is a typo. Sorry! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15915: Ah, a good point. Not being a fan of such musicals I had always assumed it was Grease. Cheers for the input, if not the abuse. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15920: Really good grid - the Quaint group especially clever... I also went PMs but thought the Court was martial (homophone Marshall) and opted for Commonwealth PMs. Over-thought that one! haha ;-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

MollieT @ #15918: Oh :( not specific enough do you think? (6 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #15920: I thought UK PMs was right..... but of course Hague not a PM rats Good grid (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15919: Patrick Thistle??? (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15918: Generally a good grid with good crossovers. Felt a bit let down by the Reid answer though... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15910: I like the idea behind it but I was well and truly flummoxed. Good for a challenge. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Busker @ #15915: (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15916: Excellent grid... Lenin and Cell groups particularly clever. Thank you! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Aetees @ #15915: I didn't think it was too easy, just easy enough. Not every grid needs to leave me baffled. Well set. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15910: It's like you've layered a third challenge of decoding the answers on top of finding the groups and understanding the connections. I normally like your "crossword" grids, but this one went a step too far for my tastes. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15917: Dont bother with this one, ive inadvertently resubmitted the previous puzzle, although you might find this one a bit easier as a result (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15902: Cross I didn't see the Nine solution. Not sure about Low Hiss and what about Gene Tierney?? Kinda invalidates that clue. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15908: Only 2 for me. I've given myself 3 as my answer was 'digits on the hand' due to the inclusion of thumb. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15908: Only 2 for me. I've given myself 3 as my answer was 'digits on the hand' due to the inclusion of thumb. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15909: Found this really difficult... some of the clues being quite obtuse. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15915: Nothing wrong with easy - excellent grid :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15909: Interesting concept and nice style, just a bit difficult for me. Scored 2/10 after not having heard of a couple of the clues. Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15912: Clever and fun. Scored 4/10 but probably should have been higher looking back at the answers, that and trying most combinations for the metals but not getting them - I find there's a huge difference between there being five of something and six of something, haha. Cheers mate. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15914: Fun, clever, but difficult. Scored (moral) 3/10 (it didn't accept the singular form of the answer you wanted for the Brennan line). Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15915: Probably a bit easy in retrospect, just threw it together on the bus on the way to work. Enjoy (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15911: Great grid with clever overlaps. My one gripe would be that it didn't accept Animated Films for the, er, animated films. But perhaps you were right to demand a more specific answer. Cheers. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15908: Good grid and overlaps. I scored 6/10 but it could have been 10 with different guesses at the end - I always seem to guess wrong. Cheers for the grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15907: Cheers for comments. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Matt @ #15907: Great grid, good crossovers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #12682: Just the thing if you fancy a challenge (6 years, 1 month ago)

Edward @ #13926: Green purple and red groups are good. Blue group is less good - word ones would ideally all be either before or after, not a mix, and W____ is not very specific. (6 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #15904: The "by" one is too random and weak, virtually unguessable, and strictly speaking ByRon is wrong, should be Byron (6 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #15891: Once I figured out you meant Austen's prejudice it all fell into place. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Edward @ #12578: "Geri" not "Gerri". The red group was good with lots of red herrings. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15897: Very good: needed just a bit too much knowledge I didn't have (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15893: Not bad. Should PYG be capitalised? Iirc it wasn't but it's been 30 years since I climbed it. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15892: Not sure that's how it works... I got them all but would have preferred some red herrings (6 years, 1 month ago)

Vixen @ #15902: Almost indecipherable...Low Hiss? Also ----nine? Sorry I don't get it? Thanks for setting though, I might do better on your next one? (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15880: Ah. Over here that's a "fireplace screen." I thought maybe it was another word for a firefighter. :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15903: I liked it! I found it easier than #15902, actually. The Marks group was obvious and once I got those to stick, Late Show came quickly. I couldn't sort out the last two in time but would have given a few more seconds; it was obvious that we were going to see hidden words in one group but I got stuck looking for languages until too late. Ended with 6/10 which I think is a fair target. (6 years, 1 month ago)

MollieT @ #15897: Only managed 4/10 myself but very enjoyable :D (6 years, 1 month ago)

Megan @ #3456: (6 years, 1 month ago)

Megan @ #186: Enjoyed and was a challenge (6 years, 1 month ago)

Megan @ #15904: Too much focus on fill in the blanks. Maybe in the future just do one group of that. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15903: I'm preemptively volunteering a comment on my own work here - this one was way too hard. There's some fun ideas here but the Pants group is too un-obvious, the Day Cart group is a little too esoteric. Sorry! (6 years, 1 month ago)

ArthurC @ #15882: Thanks for the feedback. Will definitely work on more crossovers. Probably where I'm weakest. And I couldn't think of other words for the three word songs answer. Can't believe I didn't think of repeating, Sorry about that. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Guy @ #15822: Who's Madonna? (6 years, 1 month ago)

Chris @ #15900: Good selection of crossover answers. Got 10/10 but took me to the time limit to get the last of the groups. Nice one. (6 years, 1 month ago)

haywood @ #15898: er, what was that? (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15900: 6/10 - got the solutions, but couldn't get the groups in time. Well set. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15898: Managed to sort the groups but 2 of my answers were marked incorrect. ***SPOILER*** for the wise man group I put herbs, for the daisy group I put 'flowers and girls names'. What answer were you expecting for the Fresh group? Try to give a little more leeway in the answers by listing words, separated by commas, rather than requiring an exact phrase. Thanks! (6 years, 1 month ago)

ANTHONY @ #15892: A GOOD GRID WELL DONE (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15897: Superb... but only 5/10. Just couldn't sort the DC group in time as was convinced a 'place' belonged in there despite knowing the 2 people. Perfect number of crossovers - a fine grid indeed. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15893: Too tough for me! 1/10 also. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15891: Enjoyed a lot... without prejudice! (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15887: Don't recall seeing galls... apologies. There are bound to be some unintentional repetitions with nearly 16,000 grids on here! (6 years, 1 month ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #15888: I gave my mate a meat sandwich which he enjoyed and asked what was on it? When I told him it was crab paste he then asked where I got it from? I said "the chemists" (6 years, 1 month ago)

Kathy Tully @ #15891: Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15893: Clever but tough. Scored 1/10. Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

DH @ #15886: really good (6 years, 1 month ago)

DH @ #15887: brilliant (6 years, 1 month ago)

JeannieIrene @ #15891: Bronte's prejudice? Don't you mean Austen's?? (6 years, 1 month ago)

D Rota @ #15862: top gridding (6 years, 1 month ago)

D Rota @ #15873: like others- great idea for grid but the spelling threw me- I thought it was deliberate so went off on another tangent (6 years, 1 month ago)

D Rota @ #15885: thumbs up (6 years, 1 month ago)

D Rota @ #15891: excellent grid (6 years, 1 month ago)

Hmmmmmm @ #15882: The songs group doesn't accept "repeating" as a connection. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15885: Agree with below comments. Enjoyed it. 10/10 but had to work for it. Nice one. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15883: I don't know what point you're trying to make. Verbs can't be singular or plural. Scissor can be used as a verb, yes, but that's not relevant here. The relevance to this puzzle is that scissor cannot be used as a singular noun. Verbs by their nature cannot be plural or singular. Unless you're talking about conjugation which is a completely separate point. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Vixen @ #15891: 10/10 great grid,thanks really enjoyable! (6 years, 1 month ago)

truecockney @ #15881: Thanks both. Resubmitted with changes on 15891 (6 years, 1 month ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15890: That's good! Bueno (6 years, 1 month ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15887: this is the guy that complained about someone else answers ...and GALLS... is one on their board. boooo (6 years, 1 month ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15889: well done (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15886: Oof. A good one, but brutal for me. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15885: Pretty hard version of this idea for Americans, with all the snooker and such! Our version of Clue has Mr. Boddy, which I didn't know was regional and that sent me off in the wrong direction. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15880: As in "about as much use as a chocolate fire guard". Tough but fair. Lots of good gridding around at the moment 😀 (6 years, 1 month ago)

kittymcg @ #15882: The money group is clever. The defend group concept has been used on the tv show, so I should've got it... (6 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #15882: Fine with defend but yeah, moar crossovers desirable. (6 years, 1 month ago)

M @ #15886: Loved this one! (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15890: 10/10 (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15889: Enjoyed it. Not sure that Ovaltine works in that group... it's a malt drink with a chocolate version - I don't think they actually produce chocolates. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15888: Crab is seafood. I realise there is crabmeat but... in a list of meat, you wouldn't expect crab. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Matt @ #15874: Didn't get the hedge or death groups at all. I was thrown off by bell noises (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15880: Thanks JonBob... it's a screen you put in front of an open fire to stop sparks/logs falling out. (6 years, 1 month ago)

anthony @ #15885: a good quiz (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15881: Yep, that's the case here too: it's the word "Danny" for this one. (6 years, 1 month ago)

JonBob @ #15880: "Fire" is the only one that doesn't resonate for me after seeing the answers, though several others aren't in my normal vocabulary. I think this was actually easier for an American because the red herring didn't call out to me because we don't have all of those here. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Vixen @ #15886: Great got 7/10 (picked the wrong part of the answer for the bicycle group, doh!) really enjoy this style of grid, very clever :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15885: good fun grid (6 years, 1 month ago)

Rubberlisa @ #15882: Good one. Should have got it. Didn’t! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Rose Taylor @ #15883: Just as another observation, "scissor" can also be used in the singular as a verb (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15885: What Vixen said. But... they don't all need to be hard. Very enjoyable and not too cryptic. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15883: Enjoyed it. Was sure I tried secret in that group, but obvs not! Kicking myself for not seeing the solution to calm. Nice one! (6 years, 1 month ago)

Vixen @ #15885: I found this easy 10/10, but very enjoyable, thanks :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15882: 7/10... a generally good grid but didn't spot any crossovers. Personally, not a fan of the Defend group solution... (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15881: Doesn't work. I found out that this happens if you include double quotation marks in a grid. (6 years, 1 month ago)

FirstGofer @ #15880: Due to the main herring, I tried to stick with fairly well-known terms. Thought Republican was probably the most obscure. Genuinely interested as to which others you were unfamiliar with... sometimes as a setter what you think is common knowledge turns out not to be. All a learning experience :-) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15880: Ah that was tough. Scored 1/10. Never heard of a number of these terms, which made it harder - that and spending too much of my time chasing the main red herring which was central to the grid. Cheers though :) (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15876: A pretty decent grid in terms of playability. I think it would look a bit smarter or neater if you capitalised first letters of words. Cheers (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15883: Well, an interesting observation and something that I had considered when making the grid, but it doesn't change anything or make what I have written incorrect - it can only be used in the plural form when used as a noun, which is the essence of that group. (6 years, 1 month ago)

Eagleeyes @ #15883: Trouser is a singular word. It can be a verb (eg to trouser money) and modifies a noun (eg a trouser pocket). (6 years, 1 month ago)

Andy P @ #15874: Great grid. I like it when I can get 10/10 but I have to work for it. (6 years, 1 month ago)

chris @ #15874: very easy but well formed grid. nice one (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15872: Really good :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15867: Excellent! (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15880: Loved this one! Thank you (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15879: kicking self for missing cricketers - as I am a cricket fan! Excellent grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15874: Excellent! I couldn't see the Hog line, and gave up at seven. It's nice how the clock isn't running when I have to explain the last row :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15874: Sorry HJGB, but fighting doesn't work with Foo. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15872: Very enjoyable, the Trent groups was out of my comfort zone which stopped a 10/10. I hope you write some more in future. (6 years, 2 months ago)

N @ #15873: Cool, but you spelt leek and Isle of Wight wrong. (6 years, 2 months ago)

MollieT @ #15875: 5/10 for me, enjoyable challenge :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15875: Ta. Oh for an edit function though: could have made it even more crossed over. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15867: Lovely stuff. Paradoxically the uniqueness of the solution helped me solve it, because first and second couldn't be interchangable that meant I could place second outside one of the groups (6 years, 2 months ago)

HJGB @ #15874: Good grid although it didn't accept 'fighting' for bull, foo etc (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15867: Cheers. I wasn't convinced there was a unique solution with there being so many crossovers but I'm glad people are enjoying it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15874: Good, though BETS is slightly awry (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15875: Tricky, tricky... especially Brazil group. Great challenge - enjoyed it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15873: A finely constructed grid, slightly marred by spelling but enjoyable nonetheless. Didn't know the scientific name of the onion solution, so I missed out on a 10fer, but I have awarded myself the point anyway! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15872: I also got 2/10. A well constructed grid and a fine challenge. Good use of crossovers and red herrings. Well done! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15870: Pyramid should be singular. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15869: Didn't get the Army group... (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15867: Superb... classic grid setting. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15864: A cultural difference here due to the dragon group. I agree with HJGB that encounter is just a meeting, and don't really think that Flap or Beef are 'altercations', which is a synonym of argument, quarrel, squabble or fight. Beef = complaint/moan and Flap = agitated. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15872: Yes, very good. I found it very tricky though and only scored 2/10. Nice one, especially for a first go. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15873: Yep, nice attempt but spelling can be hugely important in these grids. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Gwynfor @ #15873: Spelling issues put me off two correct answers early. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15867: I could see what they were but couldn't sort them fast enough, frustrating! 6/10 Nice one :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

HJGB @ #15864: I solved the grid but didn't always know the groups. A good grid but I wouldn't say an encounter has to be an altercation... (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15857: Nicely constructed! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15855: Derek Smalls was the only one in the group difficult for this American. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15873: Leek not leak, but I enjoyed it :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15872: Very good! I didn't know the Trent group so 7/10 :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15861: Feeling a bit light-headed and sloshed myself after that one (6 years, 2 months ago)

MollieT @ #15872: Here lies my first grid attempt, praying everything is in order! :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15857: .gud .grd (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15868: Lemon Squeezy (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #14317: yes good grid but cant bear the censure in the answers!!! i said ...bear but the answer was bears so was wrong. Drives me nuts!!!! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15859: Good fun. Straightforward if you use trial and error to discover what doesnt belong in the Mulan Group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15863: I like your grids on the whole but, sometimes I struggle. I agree with cheminion, hair, kink? Sorry I just don't get it...Thanks anyway :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15864: Until next time jsilverman1. until next time. (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15863: this one is for the nerds (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15855: ha ha! loved the harvest group too. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15858: red herrings and double bluffs. FInally got the Posh group...sneaky. thanks for sharing. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15859: Nice grid, surprised myself with a 10/10 following a flasj of inspiration on the Rapunzel group. Thanks for setting. (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15862: it's a famous thing (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15863: a great challenge, frustrated I only got 2/10. Could see the links but didn't get the correct sequences. Hair group perhaps a little tenous...but nevertheless great job! Thanks for setting. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15859: Good one. I saw "Popular vote" and thought "that must be a word one" so I was trying to figure out what "larvo" or "ularv" was :-) But I got there in the end. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15861: Very good. I'm kicking myself as I couldn't see the bag solution. Obvious now! :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15857: The Egg group was way over my head! (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15859: you got me. (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15858: hmmmm (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15857: famously and well known expression my ass (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15855: Love the harvest group! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15855: Wonderful stuff, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15829: Lovely! @bonehead: Both expressions are used interchangeably, with some regional variation. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15828: Found it easy, but very fun. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15821: The picture group is inspired. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15817: Little Shop of Horrors was first a stage production. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15852: Like it, especially Michael! (6 years, 2 months ago)

anthony @ #15852: a nice grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15852: A nice and easy start to the week. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

chris @ #15852: nice and straightforward (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15849: Great grid, wish I had done better at it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15850: Some pretty obscure stuff, I am a fairly avid gamer and even after it resolved I had only heard of one of the games. Then again it was listed as fiendish so I suppose obscurity is fair game. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Busker @ #15698: good (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15849: 10/10 - chuffed to bits! Haven't figured out the Movie Alien and Group of Teal clues but the others gave me the answer. (6 years, 2 months ago)

. @ #184: (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15843: Agree with LW and Andy P. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15840: Sorry, don't understand the Malin group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15828: Nicely done! (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #14422: food group just silly (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #14426: once again i got the grid but fell down in my connections - really do think mild expletives should be accepted! agree with others' comments (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #18: Simply "adverbs" is not enough (although it would be great for a primary school version - does that exist yet?). And there are two misspellings, which technically made the connections wrong, even though it was easy to figure out what the creator meant and what they should have been. (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #14738: MLS - complete mystery - what does that stand for, please? (6 years, 2 months ago)

LW @ #15843: Crab isn't a fish. "seafood" or "sea creatures" would be more accurate. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15815: took a while to sort out the categories, but satisfying to get it right. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15822: good (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15849: super grid; 5* from me. Got 7/10, couldn't get the waterproof group. Thanks for setting (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15843: I won't be catfished that way again (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15842: Sadly there's no edit function. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15849: Love it! 10/10, great grid :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

anthony @ #15839: a good grid . (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15843: Yes and when there is a group that are synonyms then you need to accept the word synonym as a potential answer. (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #14836: oh flip why are you all so nice!! the answers should be able to take in different versions of the same thing! It annoys me intensely.....! tho to be fair I am hopeless at the grids. (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #14919: I love doing these grids, thank you to the makers, but often the connection answers just drive me crazy! smell - WRONG, smells - RIGHT. What!!!???? (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #15049: wisdom not a book in the bible. so silly (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15816: Found this straightforward after that as the moss and annie groups were easy to spot the existence of and not hard to get - too much non ambiguity. Still, the odd easy one is fine on a Sunday morning. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15816: I count 3 crossovers ( button moon, hamilton the musical, harvest festival) As a rule, crossovers work best where the fit of the crossover in the correct group is less immediately obvious than in its herring group ( although it's certainly possible to overdo the obscurity). Having not heard of fosse, only one of the herrings actually bit me ( or vice versa) (6 years, 2 months ago)

KarenA @ #15842: Thanks for your comment, do you know if it's possible for me to fix these things? I can't seem to find and edit button. (6 years, 2 months ago)

jefco @ #15836: Its spelt Sydney (6 years, 2 months ago)

M @ #15843: A crab isn't a fish. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15843: Nice grid, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JeannieIrene @ #15842: Good overall set. I got the groups, but put Tellytubbies- not accepted, and land- not accepted. Needs to be less precise on group names! (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15829: jerry-rigged? whaaaaa? I've heard of jury-rigged (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rod Hull @ #15748: Not me (6 years, 2 months ago)

KarenA @ #15842: I'm trying to change Lap to Green since Lapland isn't a country but I don't know how to edit. Sorry! Hope it's ok other than that :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pogglefish @ #15839: A better and cleaner version of this may be found as grid 15840 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pogglefish @ #15840: This is a better and cleaner version of 15839 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15839: I don't really get the "lovely" group, apart from the one that isn't... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mr A @ #15839: Connections are a bit too vague, and largely pretty similar. Also not family-friendly. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15710: DH: Portuguese. https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Portuguese/Contents/Definite_and_Indefinite_Articles (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15758: Joe: 'Card Sharks' is a thing, albeit a predominantly American one. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_Sharks and the first line of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_sharp. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15805: FirstGofer: I confess my agreement. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15806: Sorry for the naming issues - it's tough to anticipate everything people might write as a response, and there's sadly no Victoria Coren Mitchell amongst us who will accept things on a judgement call. On y va! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15807: FirstGofer: I'll try to keep that in mind! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15828: Thanks for the kind feedback, all. Even you, Marvin! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15820: Nice ideas. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15821: I didnt notice that! IMO Iris is a bit of an old chestnut but the dog and picture groups were very good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15825: More like it... but yeah, capitalise. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15823: Grids dont have to be hard... but needed more Overlap. The radish group didn't really interact with the other 3 (6 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #15827: Again, inventive and fun. I doff my hat. (6 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #15828: Entertaining imaginative stuff, without the obscurity that bedevils so many grids (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15829: Recommended (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15830: And there was me looking for a prefix that all of them shared.... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15828: Nice use of hook to add to the ambiguity. Straightforward but fun (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15758: It's card sharp not shark (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15803: rubbish (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mya @ #15779: I made this grid alone and i am only 8 i am sorry jrandomuser that it did not axcept planet because it was one of the answers i put in (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15820: Lupus can affect the skin. But it's not a skin condition. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Deja @ #15828: Very nice. Good balance of crossovers in all of the groups. (6 years, 2 months ago)

lindy @ #15829: 10/10...Happy Face (6 years, 2 months ago)

bob @ #15823: Way too easy, and let down by poor connections. (6 years, 2 months ago)

PizzaPlease @ #15828: WOW! A genius made this (6 years, 2 months ago)

rabbit hole @ #15809: good first attempt (6 years, 2 months ago)

bob @ #15825: Bit too easy really. There wasn't much in the way of overlap or misdirection, and the four un-capitalised answers stood out to make an obvious group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15830: rude (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15829: just shaking my head.... (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15827: just fun! good clean fun. (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15826: that's just good (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15821: That was fun - I didn't do well because I kept seeing pairs of words that weren't groups - like "Detached Retina", "Gun dog", "Public school", "School pupil" :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #15816: Thought "musicals" would have been enough (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15822: nice (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15823: Lemon squeezy (6 years, 2 months ago)

Dinah @ #15816: I enjoyed this grid, thanks! Although I did think that the grouping with 'food' in it could easily have applied to other things as well as the answer given. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15822: Margarita is the spelling for that group, margherita is the spelling for the meatfeast group other than that, nice easy fun grid thanks for sharing :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Dinah @ #15822: Good grid, apart from wrong spelling of pepperoni (6 years, 2 months ago)

Coliy @ #15822: Awesome (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #6140: Very enjoyable, but really easy. The Bohemian Rhapsody wasn't so obvious though. :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15810: Very enjoyable! :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15814: This one was really difficult for a non-Brit. ;) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15820: SPOILERS The description for the last one should say "They all CONTAIN names of vehicles", but the tags I added should recognise correct answers anyway. Sorry about that. (6 years, 2 months ago)

RG @ #15818: RG (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15816: That was fun. Have to agree with the lack of crossovers a bit though, although my 10/10 did feel quite scraped. Cheers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15811: Glad you liked it, it's my first grid ever! ;) Do you have any tips on how I could improve? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15814: Found this much easier second time around... (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15816: 17 seconds... a personal best! Only saw 2 crossovers. Thanks for setting. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15810: Nicely crossed over. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15815: Excellent grid - really enjoyed the challenge. Admittedly, probably niche, but nothing wrong with that once in a while! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15814: Didn't notice the broken answer. However, good challenging grid. Thank you! (6 years, 2 months ago)

isabellol @ #15796: Loved it! Great red herrings (6 years, 2 months ago)

isabellol @ #15800: Great grid! Sharon Stone threw me and felt very silly afterwards. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15812: Clever as usual - I scored 4 but perhaps a moral 6 as I was convinced I'd actually tried the correct Pen group. Ah well. Good crossovers and range of content. Cheers! (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15803: I'd love more detailed explanations in the solutions, as several things are unfamiliar. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15796: Really nice. My only complaint would be that it didn't accept Synonyms for the Convoy one, but maybe that's my fault not yours. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela @ #15729: I am not grey (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pogglefish @ #15814: This is a re-submit of 15813 with the broken answer fixed (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pogglefish @ #15813: Don’t do this one - something is wrong with one of the answers - I will resubmit (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15812: Brilliant, had me chasing shadows (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15800: I really liked it! One detail - it should be "followed by stone" not "preceded" ;) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15796: I loved it! Lots of red herrings, but not too obscure. 10/10! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rudzielec @ #15806: It was enjoyable, but it should accept more category names, especially run away. (SPOILERS!) I really liked the one with animal homophones. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15811: Decent grid. Solved it with 6 seconds remaining! Only figured out the May connection as I used a similar clue this week, but not heard of Vaulting or Sliding before. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Keanu978 @ #15804: You didn't like the electrical conductors clue... thats fine but in practice water and lemons are used as electrical conductors. In theory everything conducts electricity? Dude, no just no. (6 years, 2 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #15795: like the ape nipples myself.. raised a smile (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15810: nice grid - lots of red herrings. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15807: I enjoyed this, didn't get the serial group, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #15810: good - tricky grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

M @ #15800: Fab grid and at last I got a 10/10 - hooray! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15807: Any chance when you could accept synonyms in grids? Thx :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15806: Needs more acceptable answers, didn't accept environments or run away for the relevant groups. Otherwise good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #15804: lemon, water electrical conductors? idiot connection.. in theory everything is an electrical conductor just good and bad ones (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15809: Not a good grid I'm afraid. Agree with all below and yes, the Winter group was good (although I didn't get it!). Spelling is important (although we all make the occasional typo) and while it's slightly frustrating to lose a point for typing palindromes correctly, the spelling of Rogers actually affects the puzzle. Richard RoDgers is the chap you were thinking of... and while renowned British architect, Richard Rogers, has won many awards, still don't think he fits into this category! (6 years, 2 months ago)

carol @ #15118: just doing these for fun but not to accept 'a toast in different languages' is soooooooo irritating (6 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #15809: Whats a palidrome?? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15796: Sure, No question lapis is a better fit... I seem to be more of a stickler for these than others 🙃 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15809: I disagree Andy... You can speak for others. The Alex Winter Group was good😀 but that's only 1 Group. The noon and dance groups stood out like sore thumbs - palindromes used to be common but have rather been done to death. More importantly thise 2 groups didn't have any kind of overlap with anything else in the grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15809: Well I can't speak for others but I didn't enjoy this. Didn't really capture the proper essence of the wall as it is done on the show. (6 years, 2 months ago)

LB @ #15806: Landforms should be ok :( (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15802: Fun to do, thanks. I got it all apart from the "Stench" line - I figured "hidden words", but I only knew two of those things. Andy P: The "way in" for me was "Brainer"... there's only one answer to that :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15796: @Mister Tom: I think sapphire is precious and lapis is semiprecious, so the solution is unique (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15806: I thought "run away" would be ok.....and that so would "geographical features", but apparently not. So no 10/10 for me. Otherwise, ok. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mantel4Life @ #15258: Ha! Tricky, nice reasons. Agree with mythical so only 4 stars. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Ajax85 @ #15255: nice! Fun reason reasoning. Love the groupings (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15808: Same. Great groups but needed crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15808: Same. Great groups but needed crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15808: Just couldn't get the Lincoln solution... but when I saw it i felt a bit foolish! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15805: Not your best... the duty connection seems a bit weak. (6 years, 2 months ago)

amy @ #13775: "pistachio" not a nut, "steamed" is not a type of milk. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15801: Ouch. Stared at the screen for 3 minutes, and even thought he answers tell you the theme still only got 1/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15802: Thanks for the feedback, it just goes to show that we all see these grids differently! I thought it was fairly easy with only 2 crossovers, (brilliant and quarter) I didn't intend a golf red herring at all, lol! (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15800: 10/10, nice to have the illusion that I'm not a complete idiot some of the time (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15803: What's a girl ray? What's a chocolate boy? (etc.) (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15806: good one (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15805: tricky bastard (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15804: you got me (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15802: Very surprised at the below comments about it being easy. I think it's one of the hardest you have done. I scored 2/10 after getting zero connections in time, and only identified two. Just couldn't find a way in. I was convinced that there were parts of a golf course in there. Maybe I've just had a long day at work haha. (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15798: solid stuff. 5/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15795: Excellent grid. 5/10. Figured the fruit line were anagrams but it was just too hard. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15803: Outsmarted again. Congrats, I guess. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15802: Same here, plus or minus. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15803: Wow. Even after seeing the solutions I have never heard of 7 of these things. (6 years, 2 months ago)

threeferrets @ #15801: Brilliant ! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15803: Would've been 10/10 if it had accepted 'domestic appliances'. I always end up googling at least 3 clues on these grids. Ray, Chocolate & Hoover are very niche, one has never had a hit in UK or US, 1 doesn't even have a wiki page and the other is just a bit out there! The other clues gave the groups/solutions though (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15803: must get some chocolate boys (???) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15802: Nice easy grid - 40 seconds. Only saw one crossover, which made it straightforward. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15801: 1/10, great grid, but I found it very hard! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15800: Got Windsor group wrong so 7/10. Very good, enjoyed it, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15784: There ought to be a word for delightfully frustrating (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15795: Well on the plus side, I've learned something! Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15801: Thanks. 10/10 for a great grid. Much less out of 10 for me though. Ho Hum. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15800: Great grid... good crossovers and nice red herrings. 10/10 - chuffed with that! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15801: Liked the theme, I wish I had caught on to it earlier. Well set. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jon @ #15798: (6 years, 2 months ago)

lindy @ #15796: 10/10 good grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

TK @ #15795: Sparge is a term used in brewing. I initially created a group related to brewing terms but then dropped it because I felt it may be too niche. Looking back now, I'd change both sparge and ape nipples for others. Thanks for the feedback (6 years, 2 months ago)

Karen @ #15789: Loved it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

David McMillon @ #15586: I typed Spaceships and it didn't take it. I knew they were fictional, but I can't always guess the exact phrasing you're looking for (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15796: pretty good, if a little on the easy side (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15798: good grid, excellent crossovers, pleased with self for getting 10/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Wanda Doff @ #15791: Great grid. Very well constructed. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Dick Tate @ #15792: Good Gridding! (6 years, 2 months ago)

D. Caff @ #15793: Clever and fun. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15796: Fun to do. 10/10. The subject matter suited me. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #15794: Tough, but enjoyable. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15795: Very Good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12432: (Strokes ego). It appears use of pointy brackets is not conducive to ome's comments being saved.... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12432: (6 years, 2 months ago)

Val Crow @ #15798: Enjoyable, well put together grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15788: Bye group was ingenious! I genuinely hadn't seen this before posting a Truman of my own 10 grids later... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #15796: Good stuff, fun gridding. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15794: Saw the Hyop group before spotting HYOP in the grid, but tough going after that. Whch is no bad thIng. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15795: Really good stuff. One minor point- is sparge a thing? The apE nipples group opened it up for me but that sort of connection it's always worth taking an extra minute or two. You could for example have included SOLEMN, SPEAR or LUMPS, which feels a bit neater. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15783: Chapeau. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15798: Pretty sure depite crossovers there's only the one complete answer here. I vaguely recall using 2 or 3 of these in a past grid, but one's definitely new from me at least :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15796: Arguably, sapphire and lapis are interchangeable. Enjoyed it due to the high herring denisty. Topics were immediately apparent. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15796: 10/10, very pleasant to work out, great, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15795: 5/10, could see what the groups were but couldn't get them all until it was resolved... Great grid, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15793: I'm not sure "E" works. "Type of" and "example of" are two different kinds of connections. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15796: The perfect level of difficulty for me - I got 10/10 - and nice guessable content instead of "member of boy bands of the 80's". :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

caring puzzler @ #15779: a good grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

anthony @ #15796: a good grid with some red herrings (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15796: Excellent! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15794: Fiendish... for me anyway. Maybe lack of knowledge on my part but esp the hyop clue and palaver. Hey ho! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15793: only 3... the sheer number of potentials in the E group stumped me. Well set (6 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #12138: First class! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15793: Yeah, fair play - that's one I hadn't considered. Cheers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Nb @ #15793: Good range of crossovers. I'd say you can swap house and square, though (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15793: 3/10 hard but good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15793: Yes, I'm just hoping there's a unique solution to the grid. Haha. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15793: Oodles of crossovers. Nice one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15710: "The" is also called the definite article. Does anyone know what language is O the definite article for? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Catherine @ #15787: 10/10 in 1.21. Easy if you like joy division and football, would be really hard if you didnt! (6 years, 2 months ago)

David Levi @ #2297: 10/10 at 1:19 to spare. Feeling proud because that was a really tough puzzle!!! I'm glad it was things I knew... #beginnersluck (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15792: 4/10 boo! Great grid though :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15747: The investments are also things that can be owned. (6 years, 2 months ago)

David Levi @ #13420: 10/10!!! (6 years, 2 months ago)

David Levi @ #357: Favorite!!! (6 years, 2 months ago)

David Levi @ #1396: 10/10! That's my first 10/10. I'm so excited. I barely made it though. Nicely done! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15791: Excellent. Scored 5/10 but could have been higher, was a bit unlucky not to sort out the 43 line. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15791: 7/10 - nice grid thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15790: Fairly straightforward and well constructed. Bit miffed it didn't accept 'synonyms for wager', but I'll get over it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15790: super fun (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15764: dude... hard! (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15781: ohhhhh, that was good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15784: delightfully frustrating, 0/4 connections, 4/4 links (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15779: Lemon squeezy 10/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15789: don't get it. still don't get it (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15789: Saw the theme quite quickly, but didn't get a single group. For me, I had to google Sigma, Underground, Tears, Tigers & Banners in these contexts. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15789: 5/10 - could see the links but am still singing that Christmas song and couldn't get things in the right order :). Enjoyable grid, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15788: The first group I saw was the Bye group, but getting the EXACT wording wording eluded me. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15765: 5/10 nice grid. Didn't accept astronaut but I guess it needed to be more sepcific. Well crafted. thank you (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15787: Astounded to have got 10/10 on this one. A toughie but good. Saw the connections pretty quickly so just a matter of getting groupings, except the Curtis group, which only revealed itself to me once I'd got the others. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15788: 7/10, enjoyable grid. thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15788: 4/10. Hmmm, the Ace connection didn't accept my form of words though mine had the correct meaning. Nice grid to do. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15786: SKIP THIS ONE - Replacement grid is #15787 (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15786: DOh.....big error sorry will resubmit - ignore grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15783: I had honestly missed the Butt Plug joke, haha. Nice work. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15785: 3/10 but I think this is a great grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15784: Ear nest. Gnk. I've always felt mixing suffixes and following words is vaguely cheating. Especially at this time in the morning... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15785: Some decent ideas here. I think the answer terms could be expanded a bit to be more generous but fair play for wanting to keep them specific (e.g. I didn't get a point for "named after people"). Cheers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jim Mottram @ #14933: Piza spoilt it for me as I thought it was a redherring rather than a careless spelling error. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Fridge @ #15783: Butt plug!!! 5 stars too. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15783: Thanks Johnny! That was a last minute throw in... Made me laugh! (6 years, 2 months ago)

jrandomuser @ #15779: A bit poor. No real overlaps or red herrings, so getting the groups was trivial. Then doesn't accept "planet" as an answer to the group of planets. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Johnny @ #15783: 5 stars, mainly for the butt-plug red herring! Thought that was brilliant. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15783: Enjoyed this, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Darren World @ #15648: Not knowing anything about Gerard Butler actually helped me complete the groups. So obscure (for me), they weren’t even close to being red herrings! 7/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

edc @ #492: ridiculous rejections in answers. Also sexist with "man" oh sorry, "-man" as prefix group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #15777: Gauge (6 years, 2 months ago)

Chris @ #15779: @FirstGofer - It DOES accept 'transport' as that's exactly what I typed and it was accepted. Maybe you made a typo when entering it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15783: This mostly bested me even though I could see what two of the connections must be right off the bat. Excellent. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15768: You've educated me. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

edc @ #15743: relieved about the goat issue, i cdnt get it. also clever pronoun one- i missed it but was spending too long on the "sheep" maybe. best puzzle creator so a mistake on his/her side instead of mine is nice to see! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15783: Clever as usual. Scored 2/10. The Spine group was inspired. (6 years, 2 months ago)

lindy @ #15768: 7/10 because I know zilch about Brooklyn..well apart from visiting the Botanical Gardens there :) Good grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Neal @ #15783: Really good (6 years, 2 months ago)

jrandomuser @ #15782: Ok grid, but the connections are rubbish, and are marked wrong even if you use the same words as are used in the descriptions. "flower" for the flower group? Incorrect! "film" or "movie" for the film group? Incorrect! Etc. (6 years, 2 months ago)

HJGB @ #15782: Girl's name - Flower? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15780: This is my 8 year old daughters grid guys, she wanted to have a bit of fun with it, thanks for the comments (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mya @ #15779: I'm only 8, and this is my second grid, so thanks for the comments (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15767: Fair enough, that's a reasonable distinction. Thanks for the explanation! I did resolve the thing so that was probably in the subconscious mind somewhere... (6 years, 2 months ago)

WATERMELLON @ #15782: GOOD LITTLE GRID ME (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15743: FirstGofer: you're right, I screwed up here. In the way that I compile and put together potential responses, I made an error and rushed this one through. Och! Sorry. Wish I could take it back, but what can you do? (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15757: Redkite, bob: a onesie is listed as a shirt here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirt. Sorry that you didn't like it! Grugen: I appreciate your speaking up, but I'm hardly offended by what people say. I appreciate that people leave feedback, and most users are quite kind. When they're not, I try to learn from whatever their complaints are. It's all good! JonBob: this is *exactly* how I look at it. The 'guess the connection' system is just something that I end up doing mentally more often than not, just because it's too hard to predict every possible acceptable answer but you know in your heart when you got it right. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15767: Mister Tom: fair points, but I beg to differ. The ones in the Discovery group are all 'Channels' and not 'Networks' (like the Cartoon Network, the Lifetime Network, etc. etc.) and that was the distinction that I was shooting for. Cartoon and Business were intentional misfires, but I think the grid works out pretty okay if you accept that explanation. That said: thanks for playing it, and I appreciate your feedback. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Ward @ #3712: Really nice red herrings in this one! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Gwen @ #15776: Liked this one a lot! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15781: Sadly I didn't get past first base... but solid gridding (6 years, 2 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #15777: Thanks MT. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15781: Fun! Two easy groups, and then two I floundered on, but which were solid connections. Just as it should be! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15781: Nice! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15780: Have to agree with JonBob... and to add that there is no unique solution to this grid (which is a must), as either Lilly (sic) or Daisy could be swapped with Rose. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15779: Only quibble that it didn't accept transport... did you only put the words 'methods of transport'? If so, that means answer must be word for word. try and give a little more flexibility. Thanks for setting :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15780: This one has some problems. Capitalization and spelling matter, especially when you are distinguishing things like lily vs. Lilly. "Girls' names" is a weak connection compared to others, which ends up feeling unsatisfying. I bet with a little research you could find a more specific connection that uses most of the words you are already using (maybe characters on a TV show or something). (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15779: Good and easy. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mya @ #15780: Good grid me (6 years, 2 months ago)

GRANDAD @ #15779: Good grid easy for beginers i think it is a perfect easy little grid for the younger ones (6 years, 2 months ago)

antony @ #15779: a nice little grid ,simple but good (6 years, 2 months ago)

Winny @ #15779: Nice little grid, very good (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15776: Well constructed - 6/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15774: 2/10.... just couldn't see it. All made sense after. Well done! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15777: Difficult to gauge this one... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15729: It's the middle bit where you keep the cards. A bit sneaky admittedly, but I was hoping that it would make the grid a bit trickier. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Bert @ #15729: No cellar in Cluedo. Grey aliens? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15770: Hydrophobia is simultaneously a symptom and an older name '2. A term once commonly used for rabies because in the later stages of that disease, the animal (or person) has difficulty swallowing and so fears a drink of water.' Quinsy is straight up an alternate name 'Quinsy, also known as a peritonsillar abscess, is a rare and potentially serious complication of tonsillitis.' I should've accepted eponymous true. Didn't think of it. I do partly think the emphasis is on the answerer to give as many synonymous or tautological terms to give themself the chance to win the round. But I take the critique. (6 years, 2 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #15777: Apologies- can't spell for trying...…. (6 years, 2 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #15776: Good Grid. Enjoyed (6 years, 2 months ago)

Val Crow @ #15757: Gridding is fun- let's keep it that way and not get tied up in unfair and rude comments. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15776: To be honest, it's probably me that's the problem :P (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15776: I'm finding it difficult to gauge my own grids, I thought this one was medium. It wasn't my intention to make "fiendish" as I don't enjoy those ones myself. I'll try again. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15776: Well that was... challenging. 2/10. Your grids are very clever, just a bit tough for me unfortunately. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15765: Nice gridding! Aldrin made for an easy way in (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15757: @JonBob welcome to the club 🙃 (6 years, 2 months ago)

gaoshan @ #15770: 2 quibbles: hydrophobia and quinsy are more symptom than disease, and the "quisling" group should accept "eponymous" as a link. Otherwise, enjoyable! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15774: Top gridding! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15767: I think Cartoon can go in the Discovery group, Business In the Vandalise Group and weather/ travel in the obituary group, which would mean non unique solution. Nice ideas tho (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15770: It's actually not that bad, but relies on vocabulary more than usual. Snapdragon was a way in, and each of the other groups had a couple terms I knew so I could trial-and-error my way to eventual success. Ended up running out of lives for 7/10, but my next guess would have taken me to 10/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15769: A nice change from all the grids with obscure UK confectionery that *I've* never heard of! :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15775: Clever but difficult. Scored 3/10. Should have probably been more. Cheers! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15774: Cheers for comments - I thought the Tiger one was probably the easiest - Shows we all have different interests :D (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15774: Great 7/10 didn't get tiger group... (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15766: Nice grid...loved the India group too. Very clever. Thanks for sharing. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15768: good grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15774: Excellent grid. I got 6/10. bluffed my way to solving the grid, but didn;t spot the ox group or the chicken group. Good challenge and well crafted. Thanks for sharing. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15766: Very good grid, the concept was clever with intelligent construction. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15772: Nice one. I actually quite liked the Minder line, because I thought the connection was so implausible that I actually nearly didn't get it. It just seemed to have red herring written all over it. Probably the best double bluff I've ever seen on this site. That said, it didn't give me the bonus point for it - I think the linking terms need to be expanded a bit. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15766: Thanks for the tip, I will bear it in mind for the next one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15766: Great first grid - especially India (which I didn't get). A tip, don't enter plurals as answer... if you put state, it will accept states, but not the other way round. For example, you can put 'comed' and it will accept comedy/comedian/comedienne. Nice red herring with Scales, etc. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15766: Very enjoyable. Difficult though, I only got 4/10. The India group was genius. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15756: Nice grid. A couple of terms I have honestly never heard of, but still just about managed to get 10/10. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ZBJ @ #15763: Nice one! Couldn't quite separate the songs and films. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ZBJ @ #15761: Nice one! Thought the Als were Patricks but got lucky. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15766: It's my first attempt so according to the guidelines I would have expected state to be accepted as I'd entered states as the answer, but animal was not a correct answer for the other group. Thanks for the feedback :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

ZBJ @ #15760: Excellent one. Stumped for a minute and then all came together. Agree with other comments. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Zbj @ #15750: Nice one! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Bob @ #15766: Ok grid, but I don't know what answers are expected to get some of the links. Didn't accept animal for the animal group, or state for the state group.. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Bob @ #15769: Best grid I've tried in a while. Lots of overlap, and a great red herring threading its way through all the groups. Got all the groups but couldn't get the link for the last one due to obscure US confectionery that I've never heard of. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15770: I've tried to design this grid to be extra hard. I don't know how achievable it is, but I'm sure it'll be somewhat educational at the very least. (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15764: good but hard! (6 years, 2 months ago)

marvinthemartian @ #15767: very clever indeed (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15764: Good puzzle! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15757: Most of the complaints would go away if it weren't for the "guess the connection" system. It is nigh impossible to anticipate all the ways someone will phrase a correct answer, even if you go for verb stems and such. I have taken to playing the grid, shooting for 4/10, and then just saying my answers out loud and checking the intended answers, giving myself the points mentally if it seems close enough. It's not like there's a leaderboard or anything. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15763: Good one... the Rain group could also have G has an answer tho. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Grugen @ #15759: Good grid, very enjoyable. Though, to the disappointment of my juvenile self, Bell was in the wrong group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

LVG Boxhead @ #15141: A very enjoyable grid - thanks. I disagree about the difficulty: the only group that is anywhere near easy is the 'shop' one. The vast majority of people will have no knowledge of Jabberwocky, nor will they be familiar with bowling terminology. Two of the horror authors (Jackson/Machen) are pretty obscure, making all three of these groups quite/very difficult for the average person (although admittedly they will be much easier for someone who is well read and also bowls). (6 years, 2 months ago)

Grugen @ #15763: Nice grid, fun and well put together. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15762: Not bad - eclectic mix. Personally, no chance of getting the Hollywood or Cabin Fever answers! I agree that Adams should have been accepted. And, my pedantic side would like to point out that there is no Murder to remove from Curtain! Thanks for setting. (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15760: Very good fun, and 10/10, woop! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15761: Good grid... the orchid line got me. What happened to Mrs W? Seems rather unfair after years of sterling service ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15760: Excellent... and I learnt a new word! 10/10, but enough about the grid to make you think. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15757: Thought this was OK... opted for clothing rather than shirt, but can live with that. Grugen has made a very fair point. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15756: Really liked this one - nicely done! (6 years, 2 months ago)

lindy @ #15760: 10/10...great grid with good crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15760: Excellent grid...plenty of cross overs and it gives you that "ahhh.." penny drop moment. Thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15762: I liked the links, but "murder" is not accepted for the christie/poirot group and "Adams" was not accepted for hitchhiker group. Shame Got me thinking though...thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rose Taylor @ #15760: Really enjoyed this one. Some good red herrings, tricky but doable. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Grugen @ #15757: You see, this is why I stopped making grids. Unfriendly, unhelpful butt hurt comments from people who didn't get all the answers. They imply they see themselves as superior to whoever set the grid they're criticising . It's not that easy compiling a grid and I'm grateful to those that do, imperfect as some may be. If this type of thing annoys some people so much, maybe it's not for them. If this was a face to face thing, they wouldn't be half as rude. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Caz231231. @ #15758: 10/10 for me, nice and easy. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Great grid. 10/10 for me. @ #15760: (6 years, 2 months ago)

bob @ #15756: A bit easy, but some nice overlaps and red herrings. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bob @ #15757: Rubbish! Finding the groups was trivial. Guessing what random words would fit the groups was pot luck. To quote Redkite - How is "onesie" a shirt (6 years, 2 months ago)

Matty A @ #15760: 10/10, I liked it (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15755: Agree could only find "letch" in "urban dictionary"... (6 years, 2 months ago)

The disappointed by this grid @ #4679: Great grid (NOT) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Redkite @ #15737: Easy peasy but good! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Redkite @ #15754: No variation at all - boring! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Redkite @ #15754: (6 years, 2 months ago)

Redkite @ #15754: No variation at all - boring! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Redkite @ #15757: How is a 'onesie' a shirt?! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15758: Good mix. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

numpty @ #12078: never been to a red wedding (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15756: Nice - just hard enough to be fun :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15755: letch? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15748: Not how you spell Lamborghini ,not that it matters that much. I'd probably tried a different group- for me, that was the weakest of th 4. Good fun overall, though the York group's an old friend 🙂 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15753: Thought i'd accidentally stumbled into the Telegraph cryptic crossword.......appreciate the effort, but there's a fine line between enjoyably tricky and impossible, and i fear you've crossed it with this one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Val Crow @ #15750: Good stuff, very entertaining. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Adam Zapple @ #15753: Way beyond me- I'm only mortal. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Kathy Tully @ #15748: you can't have incorrect for breeds of cattle on line one-that's what cows are but you also have the same breeds of bull- that's why it's cattle (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15749: So what is a brass... Oh, right :=) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15749: Really good, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Matt @ #15729: Since when was the cellar a room in Cluedo? (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15753: Way too cryptic for my brain... 1/10. Found the too tenuous in 3 minutes. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Birdbrain @ #15749: Nice one. Especially liked the brass line (6 years, 2 months ago)

Deja @ #15750: Liked the Shackle line. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Birdbrain @ #15748: Who eats emu? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Ban Ki-Moon @ #15752: Liked, rather than loved this grid. I have issues with categories that are "current ..." or "most recent ..." as that won't always be the case. Also, there wasn't very much on South Korea. (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15744: Good grid. Maybe be a little more open (UK tolerant) with the sneaker line: runners, running shoes, etc. (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15745: not accepting "engine" or "motor" for the diesel line is a pity. golf line is a killer with 6 possibilities, not being a golfer I've never herd of "hybrid" which could be anything (but ok, good crossover with engine/motor, if that had been accepted). Idem cheese, a bit random. (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15750: Excellent grid! (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15749: I thought of the beatles group when doing a different grid - you must have been inspired too! Like the brass-erie one, but couldn't get it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15740: Hard - the video game connection is a bit 'niche'! I really liked the A category! (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15741: hmm I'm not sure fluoride corrodes anyway? (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15744: I like the parts of songs ones - that had me foxed. Got all the others though! (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15745: Clever - pin would fit three of the four cheese answers too. I put power too for the train one - so close! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15748: Another good one - fairly straightforward but well put together. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15747: Enjoyed this - nicely put together. On a light-hearted note, I would question the inclusion of Racehorse in the group... good money after bad! hahaha ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

CatherineR1 @ #15746: Some good cross-overs - a really tricky board! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15741: Assume Floride (French for Florida) is supposed to be fluoride? This seems a pretty weak connection... wind doesn't corrode, it erodes and lemons seems to be stretching it a bit. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15742: Good one! Tough but nicely done (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15743: 3 of the groups work. However, the Billy Goat group is just wrong... a Billy Goat is ... erm... a GOAT! As is a Kid. Goats and sheep are different species. Merino is a breed of sheep, so the only one that actually fits your solution is Ram. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15744: well constructed. Not heard of lights out or bull in this context before. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15745: Shame it didn't accept engine power, but otherwise good grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15746: You totally bamboozled me with this one... fine grid, but I just couldn't see the connections. I admit defeat! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Benny Fishall @ #15743: Oh! I must be out of tune with puzzling like this. Could not fathom it, even when presented with the solution. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Wanda Doff @ #15742: Clever ideas, well constructed. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Rick Shaw @ #15741: Tough, but fun! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Stan Dalone @ #15740: Very difficult, I failed to complete it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #15739: Oh! too tough for me. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15746: Well, there are 7 things that fit into one category here. Not all of those were intentional. I try never to have more than 5 or 6. Good luck. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Simon @ #15587: Hello Lindy, have you got any secret houses (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15744: V good (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15744: Interesting crossovers. I've not heard the "lights out" connection before. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15745: This is nothing to do with the grid I'm afraid (which was a good challenge, cheers) but the game stopped and told me after about 40 seconds that time was up, then left me to fill in the answers while it continued counting down but from "-2:45" etc (with a minus at the front). Even now the timer keeps resetting and is currently on "-5:44" Not sure if something's gone wonky with my device but just throwing a heads up out there for any passing admins (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15741: Good puzzle! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pogglefish @ #15738: Knightmare was a 1980’s/early 1990’s children’s TV show (6 years, 2 months ago)

The Truth @ #13689: Lame. Too easy. (6 years, 2 months ago)

NW6 @ #13691: Is this the best NW5 has to offer? So disappointing. You're not even in our league. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15738: Nice idea, lacking in execution. When things overlap to this degree, you'd be much better off making the connections as precise as possible (like "all can be suffixed with 'night'"). (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15737: I had to do some Google sleuthing to figure out what "Half of status quo" was alluding to. After finding it, I think that clue needs quite a bit of work; the capitalization does matter, and without "song" or something it's just not cluing that at all. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15733: Nice shadow group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15731: Fun. S/PDIF threw me because I've only ever seen that on a TOSLINK connection, which is black. Now that I've looked it up I see what you were going for; might be regional. (6 years, 2 months ago)

K @ #7062: Got there in the end but the captains were bit tricky (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15698: Yeah two famous Austrian Strauss's Johann Jr and Johann Sr and also one famous German, Richard. Rough (6 years, 2 months ago)

K @ #6140: Bit easy (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15739: Well yes, I'd have gone for Ringo too.... Actually got the other 3 groups after they were revealed but only by giving myself.extra time to.do.so. So it wasn't the most fiendish ever. However I have always found my puzzles are rated harder than I had expected them to be (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15739: I apologise - that admittedly rather opaque clue was intended to raise a small smile once revealed, but clearly I miscalculated and have instead brought nothing but ire to your day :( hopefully We Can Work It Out (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15739: (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15739: What Mister Tom said! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15739: I wonder if you would care to, just as a mental exercise, see if you can envisage how someone coming to this cold can make the leap from "baby foodie" to "dingo". . . Me neither. Quite whether there were many crossovers I'm not sure. I Know there's a George ford: is there also a John clairvoyant Octopus? (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15738: Agree with everything below... and KnightMare? Assuming that the Mare group is supposed to be singular. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15732: its a before OR after clue. Don't like those personally (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brett Orr @ #15728: It's not the same playing puzz on your own :( (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15729: Good, as always! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Timo @ #15728: Great puzz, Brett you are my hero (6 years, 2 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15737: good grid, 5/10, call me thick but still not getting half of status quo - down, (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15737: I spent longer than I'd care to admit trying to work out which other squares "Rick Parfitt" could apply to (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15738: Might have been a typo when entering the solution, but not sure if I really get the difference between one group marked "... Knights ..." and the other group marked "... Knights ..."? Could not all those answers just be completely interchangeable? Liked the idea of the grid all in all, though! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #15738: Knights mare????? poor effort (6 years, 2 months ago)

Hubby @ #15737: Almost got stuck on the "wind" category as you used a homograph which was tricky - pleasant grid! (6 years, 2 months ago)

O.K.Corral @ #15733: Tough, but fair! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #15736: Lots of fun, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15737: Love it, thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15737: Excellent gridding, very clever. I was getting there, but ran out of time. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Anna Dapter @ #15738: Confusing, puzzling, great and awful all mixed together. Should work, but does it? not sure! (6 years, 2 months ago)

HJGB @ #15732: I didn't understand windwood... is it windward? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #15736: Nice idea, but very easy. (6 years, 2 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #15738: It's nice to see that the police officer from 'allo 'allo is still up and running. (6 years, 2 months ago)

It said select the rabbit but I choose the otter @ #15738: Night and Nights groups ok but there shouldnt't be 2 groups which both have the answer ...knights... Assume Jedi group answer was ...knight... but jedi knight/knights not great as both are perfectly valid and knightmare if eferring to the 80's/90's TV show dhould say so in the answer as is a bit obscure esp if you ween't a kid in the uk at that time (6 years, 2 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #15738: If you enter "Knights" for all groups then this is sufficient as a valid connection? (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15731: Fun and easy - after I stopped trying to put AV connectors into one group. ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15738: I enjoyed that. Bit easy to get 10/10 once the penny drops about what's going on with the theme of the grid but these thematic ones are more enjoyable. Cheers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15736: Nice variety of contexts but needed more (Some?) crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Felix @ #15551: Ciao bella (6 years, 2 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15736: quite easy once you find 1 or 2 words- no real crossovers to complicate things. Enjoyable. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #15721: Liquid not an acceptable answer? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15722: Ouch that was tough and frustrating. Scored 0/10 on the wall itself but then got 3 of the connections. Think I chose every plausible combination of the Neville group without actually getting the right one. Cheers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15710: Dont think theres any way round the f thing ( i dont normally bother filling in the connections anyway 😲) Very nice... tho rack and joint felt like a missed opportunity to get a meat group in (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15710: Lebamski: thanks for the feedback on this. I created a couple of them that were maybe a little too hard and didn't really have any obvious 'way in,' so maybe this leans a little too much in the opposite direction here. Was kind of trying to deliberately create an instant 'gimme' before the harder stuff kicked in. Thanks for your feedback and praise! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15695: Yeah, this one was way too hard. Was figuring a few things out. Thanks for playing, all the same! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JSilverman1 @ #15707: A 'score' is listed as a unit of time here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time#List V-Wing is commonly used in the Star Wars universe. V-Chip is a common device that was part of a lot of 1990s US television censorship debates. That said: I totally accept the critiques here, and some of this was probably a little too obscure.

FirstGofer @ #15716: I did a grid based on oft-repeated themes a while back. Didn't get very highly rated! ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15719: Tough! Saw some of the connections but took me forever to get the right groups. Good grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15718: Another nudge here for 'fruit' rather than just apple, pears and tomatoes are others that would qualify off the top of me head. Feel slightly swindled by 'energy' not being accepted for the thermal group as well, but that might just be sour grapes (ah, there's another one) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15716: It's okay, there are so many good ideas for grids that we're all bound to repeat each other at times. Monopoly counters comes up about once or twice a week for instance. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThePaSch @ #15718: Ah, darn. Very good point. Was tunnel-visioning a little bit there. I'd change it if I could... Glad you liked it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15716: Sorry Andy... didn't mean to plagiarise! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!. Thanks everyone for your feedback :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15718: Bit miffed it didn't accept fruit... think pears? Otherwise, good grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15716: Nice one. I've done the Pi connection before myself but it was very frustrating here because I think I tried every possible combination apart from the correct one. Scored 5/10 but deserved higher haha. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15698: Cheers mate :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #15698: Fantastic grid. You definitely are a keen watcher of Only Connect. Very specific. Love it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #15710: 10/10 Bloody legend. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #15711: Logic gates were bloody tricky. Took me right back to high school computing. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #15716: Rate got me good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15709: Seven (at least) possibilities for film titles made this too tough to untangle. The "Back" connection is also one I doubt many people at all will manage to get. Not an enjoyable grid, sorry. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Nicola @ #15699: (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15716: Superb. Didn't spot the "Pi" group connection but I love it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15711: And here I found the Not line the easiest part! Tyne due to process of elimination. Nice one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15716: Clever grid, well done. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15702: I think the "Fin" connection is a little too specific to be solvable, but other than that I enjoyed this grid. A nice mix. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15710: A couple of pointers: the "the" group sticks out as the clues all looks similar - including the red herring "die" in this group would have made that less of an issue. Also, as you've presumably put "f" as an acceptable answer for the relevant group, any word beginning with "f" will be accepted as correct (I happened to guess an incorrect word beginning with "f" and got the point). I don't know if there's any way round that, however - it might just be a flaw in the system. Overall I really enjoyed this one. Challenging and generally well put together. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15698: Great grid. Spotting the connections is quite straightforward, but there's plenty of challenge when sorting them out. Nice use of specificity for the point in one connection. Very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15706: I'm ecstatic I don't know lyrics by Black Lace (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15711: Good grid - very challenging due to the Not line. Enjoyed (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15710: 7/10... I've never done that to an Easter Egg tho ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15708: Sometimes I can't get groups on a grid but don't mind because when it resolves it makes sense. The Kid group is so vague, and the others not much better. Never heard of weed or fish in this context. I'd be surprised if anyone solves this one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15707: Personally never heard of wing or chip in this context. And, as others have said, score is not a unit of time... in a numerical context, it means 20, or 'scores of' means lots. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #6692: QWERTY was, for some reason, so bloody difficult. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15710: Very clever. Scored 4/10 but it should have probably been higher. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15710: Yeah I enjoy. 6/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15707: V-Wing and V-Ship are not common. Score is not a unit of time. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15709: ButterWeed and ButterFish??? Those are made up word. Worst grid ever (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15707: I don't think "score" fits its group; it's a quantity that could be applied to such a unit, but you could just as easily have a score of pencils. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15706: Seems really niche to me. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15698: Ha, first one of yours I've smashed Andy. Within the minute. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15703: @Thinks Twice... you fell for my evil ruse!!! hahaha! I used ELP in its other context this week. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15703: A nice gradation of difficulties, so that you can use PBS as an "in" and follow up with the one you know next best. Much more manageable than I feared at first glance. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15702: Very hard, but I laughed out loud at "Elvis" after I saw the answer. (6 years, 2 months ago)

numpty @ #14125: a bee stings (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15654: Not hard but lots of fun. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15703: Good one. I was *so sure* that ELP *must* be in the OMD group that I only got 1 group + 4 after. :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Archie Peligo @ #15702: Sorry, I found this too tricky. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Archie Peligo @ #15703: Good grid, well put together. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15703: Like the idea, and although I missed two groups I got them all when it had been resolved. RBH not exactly a household name in presidents (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #5633: This is legitimately brilliant. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15703: That was a fun concept. I think I did the same sort of thing myself a few months ago. I scored 7/10 here although probably a moral 10 as the required terms for the ABC group were not very generous. Cheers though :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15693: Yeah, a fun easy-ish group, let down by the Dip group and the unintentional clues because of capitalization. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15691: Citation needed on "Green," I think. Otherwise a very fun grid! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15701: That was brutal. Worked really hard for 3/10. The Kumars line was genius, though. Well played. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15702: Nice mix of content and not as difficult as some other grids right now, although I thought the Fin line was brutal. Scored 6/10. The Elvis line was inspired and brought a smile to my face. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15683: This time I think you judged the clue difficulties just right. There were a handful I had no chance of knowing, but could make educated guesses once I saw the groups. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15695: Spanish verb!!! Really??? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Joe @ #15700: Rubbish (6 years, 2 months ago)

Michael Scarn @ #15687: Just a minor quibble: Scranton isn't fictional. Good grid though. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15700: Just a couple of suggestions-I’ve definitely benefitted from input given by others here. Crossovers are good but a unique solution is essential. Imagine you’re looking at the grid for the first time - can you see a potential group? Not many popular grids use before and after links in the same group. After all, there are only 3 mins. Appreciate the challenge tho :-). (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15698: :). Touche' (6 years, 2 months ago)

Kirstie @ #15681: Clearly not a PuzzGrid pro like me Abi (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15698: Whichever one was German. (6 years, 2 months ago)

chris @ #15683: just the right level of difficulty. Like the reference to ELP ! (6 years, 2 months ago)

jefco @ #15700: I thought including crossovers was part of the exercise. Its my first two attempts at creating grids ever today, so maybe i misunderstand a finer point. I didn't think the before/after thing was that much of a stretch to be honest. (6 years, 2 months ago)

abbie and millie @ #15698: (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15700: Sorry, this one just didn't work for me. For me at least, it was impossible to get groups with a before/after solution. Try sticking to just one way round. Also, there is no unique solution as onion and card can be switched. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15698: Richard or Johann? Because one was Austrian.....??? (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15698: Oooh, such a stickler! 7/10 but I admire your pedantry ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15695: Found this one really difficult - failed to find an initial 'way in'. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15691: Very nice! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15693: Had potential. Try to be consistent with use of capitals :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15690: I saw two of the connections immediately, but there were 15 permutations of the Magic group. My lack of youth culture knowledge didn't help either! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15693: I like the 3 letter idea. The groups have all been seen here before and so were quite easy to spot. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15696: Confusing, as you have capitalised the second letters of some of the words, which stopped me from adding to the beginning of them. Also I'm not sure first names are a valid answer. Interesting idea, but didn't really work for me (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15696: An interesting one - I somehow squeaked a 10 but more by luck than by judgment. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15686: Yep Lenin died natural causes (stroke), Trotsky "...got an icepick that made his ears burn" (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15683: top grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15681: 7/10 - Same as Andy and Only - I was stuck in the muck. Good fun grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15693: "They all start with a capital letter" seemed like a reasonable way to get the Lip group. Fun, but a little confusing. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #15683: really good one (6 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #15693: They are also homophones Sea, See/eye high/bee be?pea pee (6 years, 2 months ago)

chris @ #15693: they all rhyme? you just let yourself down with that one. other than that you were on for a decent grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15693: Good, but "ends in ip" should surely have been allowed (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15683: Well I got it so can't complain6too much (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGopher @ #15688: Hahaha! Keep ‘em coming Mr T... determined to get 10 on one of these (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15686: Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15686: In retrospect I think I was confusing Lenin with Trotsky. Bit of a blunder there, sorry folks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15681: 8/10. I failed to see through the Muck. But it's a good connection. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15686: Yes I liked the 'Under' connection also. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Ariadne @ #15671: Excellent grid. But then I’d say that cis I got 10/10! Lovely, thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15686: Lenin Survived assassination attempts but I don't think died from one (6 years, 2 months ago)

Brandon @ #15689: One of the best quizes on here. (6 years, 2 months ago)

izabelle @ #15674: i enjoyed doing this one (6 years, 2 months ago)

Abi Cooper @ #15681: It was too hard and confusing. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15687: Southgate is suddenly topical... I did something similar a while back but went for queens and Brooklyn instead, which allowed for evil ny/London borough crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15688: Of course you did. Sorry, should have picked those up. Pass the KY. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15686: Solved with only 3 seconds left. Under is cheeky... love it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15687: Very good. Decent crossovers made a tricky challenge. 10/10 with 21 seconds to go! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15688: Oooh, these are tough! Phil Collins... hmmm, not sure I approve! ;-) Seriously, my only small quibble is that I typed 'companies known by initials' and didn't get a point. Nice work! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15683: SPOILER: Thanks for the feedback. @Mister Tom ... to my logic (maybe questionable) if you take away an S away from sweet word you get dry word. Perhaps my syntax is dodgy. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jon @ #15683: MY KIND OF GRID, LOVE IT (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15674: A fun grid with some nice crossovers. Take care on your acceptable answers - if you write a word with a capital letter, it will *only* accept that answer with a capital (assuming this has happened with "Monster"/"monster"). Some nice grids from you so far, thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

truecockney @ #15676: Peekay is correct on the pool/snooker reference. Danny refers to a 1970's song. (Trying not to give too much away but hope that helps) It takes a little while trying to make these grids so they are not to be too obscure or cryptic while testing different knowledge bases so any feedback welcome! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15683: Thanks. Nice execution of the idea- difficulty felt right and good variety. Should be +S though? (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15681: good one! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15683: Nice concept for a grid. Tough though, scored 4/10. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15675: As Peekay said, a great first grid. Definitely a specialist grid for those who know their films, I'd say a couple of the connections are a bit too specific to be realistically solvable, but this was enjoyable overall. Look forward to seeing what you can offer in future. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15682: Good crossovers, tricky, scored 5/10. Cheers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15681: Very nice, scored 7/10, missing the Muck connection. Cheers mate. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15657: @Jimmy Sands: As I said in my feedback to Eddytiger, the spelling and typos let this grid down, but I think "illiterate" is unfair. It would be more constructive if you gave reasons for your feedback, as a negative two-word comment doesn't offer anything about how future grids could be improved. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15682: Very enjoyable... crossovers and a red herring. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15676: FirstGofer, I think the drop reference is Pool or Snooker..i.e drop the ball in the pocket. I assume the Danny reference is Grease related? But i may be wrong (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15676: Only 2/10. Liked the grid, but found some of the clues, e.g. Danny and Drop, over my head. Still don't get those, so if someone can enlighten me? The others were all 'ah, of course' moments. (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15677: sraddha group just about impossible. I think world cup winners should have ben accepted for the stiles group. Liked the prime minister crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

Vixen @ #15676: I only scored 3, but I love your grids, they are a real mental challenge. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15676: Clever but tricky. Nice concept for a grid. I personally scored 4/10 after struggling with the Marijuana and Danny lines. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Nicky @ #352: Good one? (6 years, 2 months ago)

gay @ #350: this is a pretty good gay (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15677: Just resubmitting a corrected form of #15646 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela @ #15456: No footnotes on the audio books, that's my excuse (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15675: Well I thought it was a great first effort, always a little nervy sending it off into the world, to see if it's received well (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15674: monster not good enough (6 years, 2 months ago)

ArthurC @ #15675: This was my first grid, any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15674: Nice way to end the day 10/10. Thanks ET. (6 years, 2 months ago)

D.Trump @ #15051: You tried to be a smartarse and made yourself look a cunt. You cunt. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15671: Drink! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy Sands @ #15657: @Lebamski: He's illiterate, I'd say that bears quite a weight on it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15674: Huzzah! Not my fault then I guess.. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15674: 10/10... good grid, some nice crossovers. I also put alcoholic drinks, but was given correct! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15674: That's because I was after the fact that they were all spirits, not just alcohol drinks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andrew J @ #15674: I guessed 'alcoholic drinks' and it was determined incorrect :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15674: Nice grid and overlaps. I really like the grids whereby I open them, inmediately think I'm going to struggle, but then manage to get 10/10 anyway. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15672: 3. Tough stuff. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15673: I like it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #5552: The Bond villains really threw me. So many red herrings. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #3456: Sensationally good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15658: Took me several goes (ie more that 3 minutes) but got it in the end. Liked how many red herrings there were and that, bizarrely, they unlocked it for me - false Beatles group got me thinking in the right direction because of JHN and PL, and likewise PPL and BNN helped me look out for the non-herring members of the group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lucy @ #2661: 10/10. Fantastic board! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15673: i'd prefer "eclectic" to "Obscure".....lol (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15658: Yeah, I should have taken this down a notch somewhere. Trouble was, you can't unsee PL and BNN... Some grids just end up bordering fiendish. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15654: Required thinking but a relatively straightforward 10/10. A lot of fun. Thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15673: Nice grid, good mix of content, albeit obscure. Struggled to 5/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

a person @ #15323: come on fornite? What are you every other person? (6 years, 2 months ago)

logan @ #2475: it is very easy if you have never played it before (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15672: Loved it, although a miserable 4/10....some clever ideas here (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15672: Difficult, but very clever and some enjoyable clues. I particularly enjoyed the Cat Stevens group. Scored 4/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15664: Praise indeed Aetees, Obrigado (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15671: Great grid, had me going round the Magic Roundabout one too many times before I changed tack. Was on course for 10/10 until I plumped for 'poets' for the wordsmiths (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15659: Six potential answers for the "Dead" group, and two very esoteric connections, made this almost impossible to do without clicking and hoping. I'd also question including "Mau5" in the group you've put it in, as it feels a bit too different to the other three clues. Some clever ideas, but not a grid I enjoyed, sorry! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15670: I really like the homonym group, although I can't help but feel at least one of the clues will be argued by some (as is destined for any homonym group!) Some nice ideas and crossovers overall. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15671: Spotting the Father Ted connection immediately made this much easier. A nice enjoyable grid though. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15657: @Eddytiger: A well constructed grid with some great crossovers. I spotted three of the connections but took a while to sort them out, and got the fourth after solving the grid. As others have said, watch out for spelling/typos, as this tarnished what is actually a very enjoyable grid. Thanks! @Jimmy Sands: I obviously disagree with your assessment, but I'm interested to know what in your opinion makes this grid "truly awful"? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mrs B @ #15671: This was really hard espeically with including 2 false groups. Kept to find magic roundabout and synonyms for grass up. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15664: 4/10 seems to be a theme. Saw the connections from the outset but hard a hard time narrowing them down. A very good grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

matty mungbean @ #15671: good grid, somehow got the groups ??, 5/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15671: Nice one. Scored 5/10, some really difficult esoteric clues in there stopped it being higher, but it was a nice mix. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lyndon @ #15659: stupid - too obscure (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15670: Yep. Clever spelling connection. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15655: @Eddytiger I'm not a moderator here (there's no such thing as far as I know), so I can't tell you what to do, but I would suggest rising above anything you see as antagonistic. As I say, people here are generally very polite and constructive in their comments, so anyone coming here purely to stir up animosity is likely to find themselves being collectively ignored soon enough. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15664: Would like to have scraped 4/10. Nice Grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15665: Very difficult grid. Lots of quite specific connections and I could only identify one when the groups were resolved. 1/10 for me. Cheers for the challenge nevertheless. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15658: Great idea...4/10 for me. Possibly a little more accessible if the content had been less obscure (countries especially). That said, very enjoyable if a little frustrating :-) Liked the clue in the name. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15664: Fair play :-) I too have some very American clues in grid 15662. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15664: Oh i'm a Brit, just like to mix it up a bit...cheers for the comments (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15664: Nice grid for Americans. Not so good for Brits, haha. Scraped a 4/10. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Smiffy @ #15658: Too hard, Verging on impossible (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15657: Nice one. Enjoyed it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Smiffy @ #15628: Tricky......good crossovers 7/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

zactudor @ #8387: Loved it! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15662: Nice, as per - the NFL got me. I knew the connection but couldn;t make then before the timer ran out so 4/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15661: Agree with below. Scored 4/10. Tough but fair. I've done this kind of puzzle grid loads in the past so it would be remiss of me to criticise it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15644: Haha yes sorry about that. It's hard to balance grids between both UK and US players sometimes. Cheers for comments. (6 years, 2 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15661: Nice one. All the groups made perfect sense (afterwards), but I just couldn't find the hook to get started. I sensed they were all "something X" or "X something" but couldn't see any. (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15658: Virtually impossible for me! Liked the false Beatles group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy Sands @ #15657: Truly awful. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15659: Waaaaaaay too niche dude, nice, but very specific knowledge needed (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15654: I'm not sure crossovers are necessary with the "crossword clue" style grids. They are great fun when they are easy-ish like this one. Thanks for setting! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Samaridan19 @ #15650: Very creative. Loved this grid! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15649: Indeed. Or Fleet... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15655: As Lebamski says, all four of the actual anagrams stood out too much - And because they did it didn't matter that Rabies was a red herring. (also the solver only needs to solve one of them to get the group..). Rabies needed to be part of that group, if you were going to use it: This is generally the case with anagrams. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15637: Strange memory :-) I can vaguely remember when I wrote stuff but unfortunately I don't know of a way to search. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15655: A good grid... I beat Andy P by one second. Took me a long time to figure out the anagram connection tho! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15656: The Simpsons group sticks out immediately, but there's enough challenge within the other three groups. Two very esoteric connections which I would never have got, but I enjoyed this overall. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy Sands @ #15655: I tried to put Serbia in as Rabies for the red herring but it was the only one that was actually...a thing. If you get me. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15653: Good challenge, nicely constructed. Got the darwin group, but just couldn't see the board group. Kicking myself! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15649: I second everything FirstGofer said. A good grid, but wouldn't have taken much to tighten it up to a great one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15650: Like this a lot... nice construction :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15649: Got the groupings and connections in 29 seconds but bit miffed didn't accept edible shellfish. I would be very surprised in anyone enters bi-valves/shallow water. Just wondering why not opt for something like: Regent, Carnaby, Downing, Jermyn, Denmark or Harley instead of Abbey - for consistencies sake? (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15648: Good grid, but 2 categories our of my knowledge zone (my issue, not the grid's). 6/10 :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15644: Up to your usual high standard! Rovers definitely 'gets the point'. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15656: Nice one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15649: Found it strange it didn't accept shell fish, otherwise good. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15634: @Lebamski... my bad and I apologise. I put in 'woodwork tool' but had failed to just put woodwork. 10/10 :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15654: I always enjoy grids that are a bit different and this was no exception. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15650: Nice ideas. The mixed style of clues made this quite challenging. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15655: First some feedback: Your anagram group stood out immediately, as I just had to find the phrases that didn't 'mean' anything and 'looked' like anagrams. I got them without actually knowing what they were anagrams of. Other than that, some nice ideas and good crossovers. @Jimmy Sands & @Eddytiger: I hope that your back and forth across grids here is all in good fun, because if it isn't it's going to get tiresome pretty quickly. I've found that people on this site are generally polite and constructive in their feedback, so please try to respect that and each other. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15652: A real shame you put "Buffalo" twice, as this was otherwise a challenging and well constructed grid. I agree that Jimmy Sands's feedback is entirely unnecessary and unhelpful, as it's an easy mistake to make when you're trying to create red herrings. Great fun, thanks! @Mister Tom: Add an "e"... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15634: A shame "woodwork" wasn't accepted as an answer for the relevant group. It feels unfair to mark the grid down for that, though, as I really enjoyed this one. I particularly liked the phantom group, which threw me off on the wrong scent at the start. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Deja @ #15609: Liked the "mind" line. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15655: Good grid. Dark subject matter. Anagrams had me stumped. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sue B @ #8094: A nice one to start for the students. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15655: Heh, you may have had something of an advantage in this one Andy. Still, 27 seconds. Pretty poor Jimmy... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15653: Nice mixed bag, scored 6/10. Cheers. The Darwin line is a bit specific. (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15614: 2/10 fiendish (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15650: fantastic. Even a riddle in 'See in the playground' (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15654: really good (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15642: Not sure about 'repair' being something unique or linked to wheels. Otherwise great (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15653: Drawing breath. Like it :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15655: Fun but a bit easy, scored 10/10 in 27 seconds. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy Sands @ #15655: That is how it's done Eddy. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andyvic1 @ #15654: Links easier than wall (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #4750: Briefly fun. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15652: Wow, unnecessary. Let's see how amazing yours are then. (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15486: Good grid, had me stumped though. Like the odyssey red herrring. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy Sands @ #15652: Ha, can't believe you put the same answer twice you goofball. What a goofball. Amateurs... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15652: Oh Bob Saget! The second Buffalo was supposed to be Kickapoo. Suppose it didn't hurt too much tho... (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15654: could do with some crossovers, but ok otherwise (6 years, 2 months ago)

joel @ #14043: Didnt accept painters for the top one or prime ministers for the second one. Bit of a joke (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #13914: agree with previous comments. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #13930: agree with previous comments. capital cities didn't work - goodness knows why not! the most FRUSTRATING thing about these grids is the daft acceptance/non acceptance of the connections. this totally spoils the pleasure of the games. such a pity as so many have worked so hard on the grids for others to enjoy... just not right!!!! (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15648: Gerard Butler caught me out too. Nice grid...thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15653: Excellent. Wolfson group got me. Loadsacrossovers. Thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15652: Good mix of content. Scored 5/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15652: 2 buffalo. Whoops. Resolved the grid anyway. Not sure what Regga is: Pun would have been better? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15651: Nice one. Thanks. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15652: That was fun, despite the double buffalo. T or Cs was a new one on me. Thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15646: Didn't really like the Bengal group either... Unfortunately no edit function, just have to downgrade it and then resubmit. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15649: That was a good one, thanks. I was stuck on the Oyster line for a while. Scraped 10/10 in the end. (6 years, 2 months ago)

dabba @ #15639: fun particularly the tics (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15648: Yeah, thought that might be the link that stops people getting 10/10. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy Sands @ #15648: Not heard of ANY of the Gerard Butler roles. 7/10. Good grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Dude @ #13303: Didn't accept Volkswagon - give over! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15644: Johnny, I just tried it again and Rovers most certainly does get the point. You must have typed it incorrectly. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15644: 10/10. Very enjoyable, thank you. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Johnny @ #15642: Nice. Really liked the wheel line. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Johnny @ #15644: "Mentioning Rovers is necessary to get the point" ...and yet "Rovers" doesn't get the point! (6 years, 2 months ago)

cheminion @ #15646: oops..yeah sorry Should be Lion and not Tiger. Had a number of options on the go and ended up making a mistake. Can you remove /edit grids? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15646: This had the potential to be a good grid, but with the weird formatting (all capitals) and the mistake with the Lions/Tigers, I didn't really enjoy it, sorry. Cheers though. (6 years, 2 months ago)

anthony @ #15644: a good grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15638: However, the Carter group was very clever. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15637: However you might enjoy #15189 :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15637: More pertinently, ruby and sapphire are also anniversaries, so there isn't a unique solution. Got the crystal group but as a non Pokemon player I hadn't a hope after that. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15638: Trouble with this sort of grid is it depends on your definition of famous... there is.also a George Buchanan and as it turns out, a George Jackson. V frustrating if you've heard of one of them but not Clinton. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15644: Ahhhh 10/10. Thank You. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15639: 7/10, no prizes for guessing what line I missed too. Haha. Cheers JS. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15642: Nice one. Enjoyable variety of topics. Got 7/10 after not being able to identify the Spin line. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15642: Good one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #13981: another annoying alleged answer. I was WRONG saying 'ice cream'. the correct answer is 'ice-cream'!!!!!!!!!!!! for goodness sake....!!! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15638: Really good grid, one of the best iveI done recently. Tough but squeezed out a 10/10 with a bit of help from my girlfriend who spotted the Carter line. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #14053: once more frustrated by poor answers which are totally incorrect - one of connections had a completely rubbish answer - 1. preceded means to come BEFORE so wrong interpretation for granny, reef, Gordian, slip 2. the answer is FOLLOWED by KNOT with one 't' i am turning into an old pedant!!!!! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Eddytiger @ #15637: Oversight not putting anniversaries, sorry guys. I think I put anniversary though. My first grid so there's bound to be growing pains. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Bye Bhuh @ #15512: two vowels... booooooooo (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15634: Great grid! (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15637: Diamond could swap with ruby or sapphire, so there isn't a unique solution... (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15633: Same as bonehead. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15634: Great fun. 10/10 a rare event for me these days. Thanks for setting. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15639: Yeah the tics evaded me also. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Steve h @ #15639: All but the tics for me (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15637: Tough one, definitely should accept "anniversaries" for the silver group as your explanation is pretty much a definition of what one is (6 years, 2 months ago)

beth @ #4155: got all right! very proud :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15633: "royal family" a bit restrictive (6 years, 2 months ago)

Emma @ #15566: Yay I done got 10/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sue @ #14053: Correct spelling of the answer would be useful. Knot doesn't have 2 t's. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sue @ #14053: Correct spelling of the answer would be useful. Knot doesn't have 2 t's. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #5633: First class! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15628: A fair point Lebamski, wish I'd have thought of that now....doh! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Yusuf @ #15054: This was my last ever grid. It was amazing. I have tears in my eyes. Brett Orr is my best friend. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15614: The "Wire" connection is inspired. I enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15628: Really enjoyed... only 7/10 as I opted for apple. Good crossovers - nice one! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15629: Needs a wider variety of acceptable answers, didn't accept 'candy' for the relevant line for example. Otherwise a simple but fun enough grid. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15628: A shame you couldn't find another Brit to replace Crowe in that group, as it would have strengthened the connection! An enjoyable grid with a nice level of challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15629: "Drink" not accepted for the drinks group, "Chocolate" not accepted for the chocolate group, "NATO" not accepted for the phonetic alphabet group. Only a couple of crossovers. Not a great grid, sorry. (6 years, 2 months ago)

GeorgeBushJnr @ #15628: Great grid, a little tricky on the definitions but enjoyed immensely (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15629: Argh, slipped up on the Curly Wurly line - I got too specific. Nice to be reminded of that unique chewy bar and the Terry Scott TV adverts. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15628: Good one. I was duped by the meaning of Trump. But then, so have so many others. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15456: What happened to "NSK"? 2 groups here meant nothing to me. (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15503: Loved this one! (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15623: Nice false ABBA songs group (6 years, 2 months ago)

Iconoclast @ #11: Not a valid grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15621: got it - very pleased with myself as a good challenge x (6 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #6833: Excellent! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15623: Thought I'd posted this already... but much better. Nowt wrong with 6 palindromes and while I didn't get the obscure group, the clues were there in the other groups. Very nice. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Deja @ #15615: Tim: I see you've been listening to Norwich Radio. Curiously, Partridge features in this grid. A coincidence? I don't think so. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Aetees @ #15621: I found it extremely difficult. The flying force one in particular seemed almost unfair given that you only used part of the initials. Not your best imho. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15623: Excellent gridding! Well done. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15621: Got it. 3 seconds left. Ahhhhhhhhh. A cup of tea. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15620: Hmmmm. Agree with Lyndon. Let's see if anyone owns up to getting 10/10. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15622: The "Music" group has some vague clues with a very esoteric connection. A couple of other connections feel a bit weak as well. Some nice ideas but not a particularly successful grid overall. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #15613: (6 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #15613: Hard! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Tim @ #15615: Who is the best Lord? Lord of the rings, of the dance, or of the flies? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Ian @ #15615: Enjoyable grid, thanks (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lyndon @ #15620: Ridiculous - so obscure (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15622: Good one. Get-able, but not by me :( (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15621: Somehow managed 7/10 on this. I like the ideas and found it challenging, but I think a few of the clues and their answers feel a bit vague. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15623: One very esoteric connection, but as I spotted it almost immediately that really helped ("Jurassic Park!"). A really enjoyable grid, thanks very much! (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15621: Novel idea, a little easy, but different....liked it (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15621: Novel idea, a little easy, but different....liked it (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #10577: thank you, 10/10 your grid made me feel that I am not a complete fool (unlike many of the other grids!) (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15620: Excellent world cup red herrings (commiserations England) and worked in TdF as well. The "new" line is a bit loose, I would say. (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15621: Interesting grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #15623: a bit mean to have 6 palindromes, though through trial and error I got them. the partridge connection is rather specialist (6 years, 2 months ago)

Dude @ #13412: Abba not accepted, station not accepted. FFS (6 years, 2 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15621: Good fun (6 years, 2 months ago)

Andy P @ #15623: Oof that was frustrating. Think I tried every possible combination of the palindromes apart from the one that was actually the group. If I'd have got that early I might have done really well but as it was, scored just 3/10. Cheers. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela @ #15357: Best grid for ages 10/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

LB @ #15609: Nice! :) (6 years, 2 months ago)

LB @ #15614: Never heard the boy's name 'Eli' :( (6 years, 2 months ago)

LB @ #15616: Language Timothy!! :( (6 years, 2 months ago)

Kennith409 @ #15622: Tricky but I got it. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15616: I agree with Mister Tom and JonBob... I never mind failing to solve a grid when I kick myself for missing the group or connection, or it's just an subject I'm unfamiliar with. Haywood sums it up nicely, every grid needs an entry point. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15615: A nice break after a run of fiendishly obscure grids. Thanks for setting a fun one. Only saw Manor at last moment (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15614: Truly fiendish... 0/10 (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15616: But yes, perhaps the Scrabble one was a bit too much of a stretch, but sometimes you've gotta give something new a whirl and on this occasion it seems it hasn't whirled well (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15616: If you can't handle the heat... (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15615: Good one (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15616: Yeah, so no. I can see the idea- create a false group of nandos coatings- but the extra hot scrabble group is a fail. Sometimes you have to go back to the drawing board (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #11691: reasonably challenging for non-German solvers. Still, 10/10 - needed some crossovers (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15614: Did not enjoy. "American" can precede almost anything. Qwerty link too obscure. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15609: Arguably the 7 make it easier to spot the group's existence, although I have to admit I hadn't realised there were quite so many. When I built the group, patio was the inspiration shortly followed by pear: I was then looking for words where the pronunciation changes. Maybe sticking to 'P's would be fairer.... but then you lose the washer herring. Sigh. (6 years, 2 months ago)

haywood @ #15616: Byzantine, and not in a good way. Try to imagine someone else trying to solve it. If there is no logical way in (too obscure), then it's better to pick a different link. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15612: JonBob... thank you!!! I did not know that. I shall refrain in future :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15612: Grids break if you put double quotes in the words. I've submitted a bug report. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15616: Take it down a few notches, Erik. More constructively: Yes, the Kumquat line is far too broad. *Maybe* if the words had those letters multiple times, or something. The Lemon line is fine but it feels like the "hidden words" are too transparent in three of them compared to the fourth. I assume there's a shadow group involving "mango & lime" that I am not familiar with due to my geography. Otherwise those are weird choices. Thanks for the work! (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15615: Not 100% convinced that "time" fits with the other three. Otherwise excellent (though regional knowledge let me down to an extent). (6 years, 2 months ago)

Erik @ #15616: Ridiculous. The Scrabble one is absolutely stupid. I don't just mean you need to be seriously clever to get it, I mean literally nobody would ever get it. It's too vague. It might as well be "contains a vowel". Grow up. (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15609: Fun! I agree that Patio could be stronger. Maybe if the words you chose all start with the same, different letter to begin with? At any rate, I did find the connection so it must not have been too awful. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15613: Crikey 1/10. Saved by Wax. (6 years, 2 months ago)

DH @ #15609: Enjoyed but the R- line is a bit tough given there are 7 possible answers (Rate, Ratio, Rasher, Rear, Ruse, Right, Rind) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Only Me @ #15615: Enjoyed that. Didn't get the 'Manor' row connection, but it's a good one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15612: another one that fails to work! so frustrating (6 years, 2 months ago)

Jn @ #15609: I like this one, completely failed in completing it though. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15609: Nice one! Got the groups but failed to see the Patio or the Fuse connection... kicking myself about the latter - very clever. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15607: It accepted palindrome for me... fortunately, had no clue on the Snow group answer! Not hear of Paper in this context, so googled it. Appears to be plural, but that's my OCD! Didn't spot any crossovers in this one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

poop @ #13420: poop poop poop poop poop poop (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15606: 10/10 in 17 seconds! Throwing a few crossovers in would increase the challenge. Thanks for setting :-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15601: Sorry, @bluetruck, but I made the decision to go for the event, as opposed to ships. Otherwise one of my red herrings was obsolete! And, otherwise, it may have been a tad too easy! ;-) (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15601: ... but here, expecting the specific word is fair enough though (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15608: Got the at&t and extra groups ( which were fine and are partly clued clued by your flag!) . The rest i thought a bit weak- you can differentiate them without having a clue what they are ( Guilty) and I'd be amazed if most get the Bos one. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Chad @ #15607: You should add the word palindrome to the correct phrases for "dad" "level" etc. I don't think it was in here unless I spelled it wrong. For the phonetic one I put "army/military" since it is the NATO phonetic alphabet. Stumped me on the street names for drugs. Good puzzle! (6 years, 2 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15601: Didn't accept 'ships', which seems a tad harsh (especially as it scuppered my 10/10), but otherwise an enjoyable grid (6 years, 2 months ago)

JonBob @ #15603: I like where this is going overall. Seems though that there were two very specific groups and two that were much more general. I think a big improvement would be to play more on the multiple meanings of the words. Put "multiply" with "breed" or something. That would help it be more general interest instead of seeming like a class exercise. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Ne @ #7392: I typed in mint and got incorrect (6 years, 2 months ago)

Peekay @ #15601: Nice grid, 7/10 because i couldn't correctly define a group, but well set. Enjoyed it (6 years, 2 months ago)

ANTHONY @ #15594: A GOOD GRID (6 years, 2 months ago)

RogerRabbit @ #15440: Really liked this, one of the best i've done for a while (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15597: Never heard of heat in this context - looked it up! I doubt many will solve the Grind group. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15596: didn't accept first or late :-( (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #14281: ive started putting an s at the end of words having been annoyed at the incorrect diagnosis when the word was correct without an s also dyslexic people please get checked before putting in your grid - ie hem and femal (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #14282: ways to cross water not accepted ..... grrrr also agree - what has brian ferry got to do with river crossing!? (6 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #721: An oldie but a goodie. (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15592: I struggled - saw 3 connections but just couldn't get the groups. had no chance with the Newport group... (6 years, 2 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15589: Agree with urbanbaboon... didn't accept 'have all split'. For me, didn't really work as the solutions were very specific and the groups a little tenuous. (6 years, 2 months ago)

Carol @ #14371: agree with 666 (6 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15439: On the one hand wouldn't accept synonyms but for the palindromes wouldn't accept that the words read the same both ways. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Nick @ #15583: Wouldn't accept rabbit (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15596: 2 Openings.... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15594: Good stuff! (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15594: nice one (6 years, 3 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15590: Nice and easy with reasonable crossovers. Fun! (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15523: Lemon squeezy except for the Almost line. Would anyone ever get that? (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15526: Interesting grid. Lost too much time figuring out "world" (6 variations). Peace/peas a bit of a stretch though. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15527: 7/10 didn't know the Chryslers. Good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

GeordieBigBoots @ #10957: Terrible answer on the animals - it's not 'everyone' is it...there are twelve of them and it links to the Chinese Horoscope (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #14384: This time i was correct when the connection had no bearing on my answer! Wow! Other way round usually... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15591: Nicely confusing. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15592: People from England will also struggle with this one (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15540: Peresic will score the winning penalty to knock England out of the WC. Bacon, although born in Dublin, would not have considered himself Irish, I don't think, so that link is correct. Good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #8441: Deadly! (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15542: the "iron" red herring (curtain) ate up 2 of my minutes and totally scuppered me, so well done. A bit obscure with the Aussie/cricket clues though. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15553: Badger line is good, but overall either far too obscure or too arbitrary to allow a foothold into it. A bit more generosity. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15592: people not from England will struggle with this one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Furs Neym @ #3712: I didn't get the SI units one, but I thought it was very clever (6 years, 3 months ago)

Furs Neym @ #184: Tried guessing "cartoon" in the animated movie section, and was marked incorrect. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15572: 2/10. Happy with my score once I'd seen the answers :) . Some clever stuff here. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mrs Zippy @ #15591: Good fun, thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15591: A fun theme. Scored 4/10. Cheers (6 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #14408: Carol. You seem to be unaware that the acceptable answers are hidden from view. What you see are the explanations. Unfortunately those of us who set puzzles aren't always aware of that fact either and often do not seem to have followed the advice on how to use word stems and commas to set the range of acceptable answers. It is a long-standing problem. Award yourself the points and enjoy the puzzles. (6 years, 3 months ago)

lindy @ #15587: 10/10 Saw the Star Trek clues but kept trying to fit the names into capitals..lol Good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #2621: Decent board (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #14408: heavens, believe it or not my "not straight" was unacceptable because I should have said "not straight, wonky" ....... eh??????!!!!!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #14410: here i go again complaining at the injustice of the connections! planned well no good as should have said go as planned!! ball and racquet games discounted as should have said raquet sports (note: misspelt!) So annoying somehow!!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

TKFTG @ #15563: Nice overall, but I'd recommend accepting "court" as well as "law" for the second one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #14432: i find myself only complaining about the answering system. to me race meeting is as good as horse racing! and also Gloucestershire towns is as good as places in Gloucestershire!! otherwise have enjoyed this subscriber's grids. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Luke @ #2297: Didn't accept carpentry instead of woodwork. Apart from that, really good puzzle! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15588: Nice one. Scored 7/10 after not being able to name the Lemon line. Cheers! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15588: Nice. Serpent, that's a crossover, the more a puzzgrid has, the better. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #7370: Typed in kingdom and it said incorrect. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15587: Interesting grid, but no overlaps. Scored 7/10 after not identifying the Leonard line. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #14654: i put criminal activity but was wrong because it was crimes! I put beam but was wrong because it was types of beams!! Help ma boab! Was caught out previously with collective nouns so put groups instead so was given a tick for that at least! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15562: 4/10..a particular knowledge set is helpful in this one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15589: 5/10 The Yugoslavia line has a lot of different ways to phrase the right answer. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Serpent @ #15588: But Poirot is also an Agatha Christie character though (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15575: Yeah, fair play. And thanks for comments. I thought it was one of the trickier grids that I've done, so I'm glad to see people scoring 7/10. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Phlogiston @ #15543: Gas giants? (6 years, 3 months ago)

bob @ #15583: The overlaps and red herrings were quite good. But the group definitions are terrible. Sauce has already been mentioned, and is kind-of understandable. But not accepting "rabbit" as a correct answer for the rabbit group is just stupid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #15584: Liked this a lot, stared for ages until it clicked, didn't quite get the connections but a solid 7/10...thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15583: Thanks. Effectively, I should have allowed "sauces," sorry. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mimi @ #15526: noun / verb would also be a correct answer for two. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15583: Good grid - easy and well constructed. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15583: Indeed. (Tho .could have allowed "sauces"). Liked the rice group (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15583: Very nice for its difficulty. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #3757: Lemon squeezy, gone in 60 seconds (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #4720: Lemon squeezy (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15559: No worries. That's pretty much all I know about it! Otherwise was an excellent grid. Oh for the ability to edit them... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15575: It appears most of my comments are below! West Germany I thought was nasty (Got it tho)- but it was indeed enjoyable (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15575: 7/10 for me... although I'm awarding myself 10 as i opted for five instead of fifth which wasn't accepted. Couldn't think of the V name until the very last second! Very enjoyable grid :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15561: Duh, Bonn is in Germany! Otherwise good effort. Uruguay-France QF starts in 1 hour so the footballer names do stand out. That Cavani face-ball goal from Suarez' cross has to be the goal of the tournament. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15572: 7/10 (guess why) but I've seen worse and the rest was gettable and quite fun. Cheers (6 years, 3 months ago)

Brandon @ #6833: Great stuff. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #238: Lemon squeezy (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15575: Really liked the Romulus line, wish I had gotten it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15566: for those who haven't heard the expression "chew the scenery," have a look at any Al Pacino film (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15568: "The"? seriously? "The" can precede anything. (6 years, 3 months ago)

haywood @ #15571: not true about the measurements...outside the UK, so the group link is pointless. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lyndon @ #15572: No chance with these - too obscure (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15572: lucky to get 1. hardest yet. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Brandon @ #7062: Captain Jack is a great red herring. As are Haddock and Mullet. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Brandon @ #8403: Wrote dance instead of dances. I hate losing a point for stuff like that. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Brandon @ #8355: Excellent work with McCartney. Such fun discovering the pan questions. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #14850: football terms are not prefixes - think they are suffixes, or words that come after the town/city football team (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15572: Some clever categories, particularly enjoyed the Shadow group, but honestly I'd be surprised if anyone actually gets the Roosevelt line. 4/10 for me. Cheers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15575: Fun grid, though the Elrond link is specialist. 7/10 for me. (6 years, 3 months ago)

4by4 @ #15559: Ah thanks Mister Tom - have heard of the show but not seen it. Didn't know the title is eponymous - caught out by my own ignorance! (6 years, 3 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15571: I particularly liked the measurements group (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15568: Burden group.fine imo. Less keen on "The". Sticky better? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15559: I'm thinking of the High Laurie character, Doctor House. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15566: Enjoyable mix of genres. Found this pretty straightforward once I realised how many clues fitted in the cowboy group and started looking elsewhere! (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15569: Three easy connections that could be more interesting if they had some small amount of crossover. The fourth, "Andrew," is really loose to me because they connect to the concept in different ways. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15568: I'm cool with the specific knowledge needed in the "burden" group; that's going to happen and is okay if it's not all members of the group. However, I think you really need to stick to one kind of connection in a group. Either the connecting work is appended, or it's prepended, or it's a definition, or... IMO If you have to say that all items in a group have "some connection to" a key word, that's a sign that the connection is too loose. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15566: FWIW I have heard "scenery" but not "wasp" before. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Paratus @ #2976: When did Australia host a Summer Olympics in the 21st century? (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15565: Normally I just "nope" out of any grid that's full of first and last names, but this happened to intersect enough with my pop culture awareness. It helps that you didn't use obscure members of the groups. Fun, if specialist. (6 years, 3 months ago)

jp1555 @ #13701: they don't except code for programming languages and does not exept Monopoly! as @Dude said we can't be expected to write down exactly what you wrote typed down. By the way @Dude typo from you. it's not wrote i'ts type it's a keyboard. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15570: Quite straightforward. I enjoyed it. The match line was a bit narrowly defined though, several other sports would also fit. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15569: Didn't accept currency for the corresponding group. Otherwise a good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15567: Got the salter group straight away but struggled to get the right combo as inches and sale also fit, without silence! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15566: Enjoyable grid - personally not heard of scenery or wasp in that context, but that's not a criticism, just an observation (or admission!) (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15561: Straightforward puzzle, easy to solve marred only by the use of Bonn (NW Germany) rather than Bern (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15559: Got all the connections once the puzzle had resolved itself... a fiendish challenge! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15566: Same :-) but sometimes I research things that I have three of and if it fits, it fits. Just have to hope it's not too obscure or unguessable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

RadicalMP @ #15553: I don't know of any one person could figure this one out in 10 minutes let alone 3. The author wasn't fooling around when they marked the difficulty as "fiendish". I actually really like every one of these categories, just not all together in one wall. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15556: Nice construction but some tenuous clues. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15564: The Blume line was one that I couldn't see in the grid, but was immediately obvious after the wall resolved. Love it. The "Hub" line would work if the same prefix were used throughout, but allowing for multiple spellings makes it feel unfair to me. Agreed with Aetees on the Blood group. I would be very happy with that as a first-round "find the connection" group (and in fact I found the connection between them) but it feels too loose for a grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15564: Not bad. Some of the links felt a bit tenuous to me. The Blood line in particular isn't really one link, more like the foundation for a whole grid of its own. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15565: Not bad. Comes down to your taste in television for the most part so I only ended up with 4/10. Thanks for posting. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15566: Enjoyed that. Not heard that scenery phrase before. Looked it up. (6 years, 3 months ago)

4by4 @ #15559: I mean Doctor has to precede not follow. (6 years, 3 months ago)

4by4 @ #15559: Thanks Mister Tom but I cannot see how Doctor fits in the Club group and therefore there is a single solution (as far as I can see). Doctor has to follow and is not valid to precede (as per the explanation in the solution). (6 years, 3 months ago)

OMFG @ #15553: The animal category gave me a point when I guessed "Agatha Christie" (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15550: FirstGo - I just spammed a lot of words in there and got it accepted haha. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15561: Some lovely overlaps there, a fun grid. One gripe - I think you might have meant Bern instead of Bonn for that line - it cost me a 10/10 because I guessed Winter Olympic hosts instead of the actual answer. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15368: Liked the grid but wouldn't accept construction materials instead of building materials. (6 years, 3 months ago)

only con @ #2887: In my accent, 'won' is not a homophone of 'one'. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15559: Very clever. But sadly you can move Doctor into the CLUB group, Peter into the SMEE group and Crocodile into the TOBY group,for another valid solution. (I was also thnking that CLUB mught be part of the TOBY group for most of it...) (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15556: Yeah, "type of bendy fruit" is stretching that connection way too far. I'm unclear on the "underground" connection; that seems like too far away as well, but maybe there's a UKism I'm not up on. Otherwise, I really enjoy this kind of "crossword" grid. Nicely done. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Head Master Bruce @ #15253: See me in my office (6 years, 3 months ago)

Pig @ #583: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Pig @ #583: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15554: It was intended to be 'theamed' to a degree. It would be nice if there were tags or subforums or something on the site though. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13374: They are all English breads as well as British! Poor (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15554: Nice one. No more nerdy than other boards I've seen. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15555: Tough, but educational. Thanks. BTW over here (in the UK), xxxx Peas are called mangetout. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15554: I think it *was* a good board, but perhaps not general interest enough for the front page. It would be nice if a grid could have an intro sentence warning people that specific knowledge of, say, a country or sport were required. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15553: 1/10 for me. I agree that it is too hard overall, but I don't think any of the individual lines is particularly unfair... just without an easier one in the bunch, there's no place to get started. The "clock" group would be much stronger if the words all shared a common vowel to begin with. The "work" group is fine but I feel like any group that has a "prefix" or "suffix" connection is stronger if all of the members form compound words or all form a common phrase, not a combination of the two. It's easy to underestimate how hard it is to see those connections in the first place without adding the wrinkle of inconsistency within the group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sweep @ #15554: This wasn't a very diverse board. The 'codes' one is the only one NOT part of 'nerd culture'. It featured a lot of my favourite things, but this wasn't a good board. They are all too similar. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sweep @ #98: Good, but it should be 'Sol' And 're'. For a musical scale AKA. Solfege (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sweep @ #6140: Brilliant grid, but it was very easy. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15553: I agree with Aetees that Joe's comment is too harsh, and offers no constructive feedback which isn't helpful at all. I really like some of the ideas here, but I just think the connections are all so specific (and, in some cases, such as the "Feet" group, too broadly defined) that very few people would ever work them out. Combine them into a grid together and this grid feels almost impossible. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15544: Very good grid- thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15553: That is much too harsh. It was very tricky though, 0/10 for me. (6 years, 3 months ago)

carol @ #15528: Harrowgate is a village in Durham i believe - Harrogate is the Yorkshire town. can it be changed? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15551: Easy but enjoyable. Some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #15515: The Richards category requires multiple levels of knowledge, so it probably requires something less generic than Richards. (6 years, 3 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #15523: Great grid. I missed the "Forty" group as well even though I've seen Victoria solve that particular solution on an episode of QI. (6 years, 3 months ago)

eva @ #6140: I typed in the proper answers but they weren't accepted because they were worded differently (6 years, 3 months ago)

Grumbler @ #5215: Not sure what German word "Rouse' is supposed to be. It's not in any German dictonary and I've never come across it (I'm German). If you base a quiz on languages you don't know, at least do your research properly. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #7062: Mullet and Jack nice red herrings, looking back on it it was easier than I first thought but still great (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #8355: Nice use of wings (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #6140: Truly excellent grid. I put "cat" rather than "cats" as the link, which is annoying to not get the point for but eh. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #2297: Best one I've seen! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #3712: I don't really like ones such as the Swatted line, but maybe it's just my unfamiliarity with this type of puzzle. Very good apart from that! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #186: Good stuff, wasted my last life on Fly-weight >_ (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15546: There are a few possible versions for the Crushed by a Bear line, one of which may be excluded for a good reason but it would have been nice to have the others. Otherwise an excellent grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Tex Tile @ #15550: Good fun! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15550: Found most of this very straightforward... unlike Andy P I missed the Shell connection... which for me was significantly harder than the rest of the puzzle. Thanks :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

ETH @ #15546: Good, but really difficult!!! Thank you! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15550: Enjoyed this. Found this tricky even without crossovers. Actually got the Bowl connection before any of the others - our brains work differently. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15550: A really good mix of content, but perhaps lacking a little in terms of crossovers to make it trickier. I scored 7/10 after missing the Bowl connection, which was the cleverest part of the grid. Cheers (6 years, 3 months ago)

anon @ #15545: synonym as answer pls (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15543: Lebamski - don't worry I covered that :-) ETH - yes thanks for pointing that out, hopefully doesn't change the puzzle too much. Showing my lack of knowledge on TV and popular culture somewhat there. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15538: Great fun! Rather proud of myself for dredging the Fruit Juice and Crossing Lady clues out of my limited knowledge of Briticisms. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Rose Taylor @ #15542: SPOLIERS Andy P: "Iron Chef" is a TV show popular in Japan and Austrlia, which also has less sucessful UK and US spinoffs made. ETH: Clergy is not accepted because in Catholicism, one is only a memeber of the clergy if they have recieved Holy Orders, which no brother has, and most priors, monks and friars have not. It may be different in other branches of Christianity, but I am most familiar with Catholicism so that's what I based it on. If it is indeed different in other denominations that's my oversight and I appologise. (6 years, 3 months ago)

ETH @ #15542: No "Clergy" accepted?! :( (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15539: @urbanbaboon: The "Clamp" line's common word is "down", not "them". I completely agree with urban's comments though - far too many crossovers to make this more than a click-and-hope grid. Also, you can swap "Belt" with both "Match" and "Gloves" and the given connection means there are technically multiple correct solutions to this grid. With so many crossovers that was bound to happen. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15543: Very nice. Didn't get the IT group., which was ingenious (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15536: There was me looking for rugby league, damnit... I didn't think the industrial group.added much TBH (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15543: Enjoyed this. One note however: the planets connection could also be Roman gods, so some might justifiably put that as a correct answer. Other than that, some nice crossovers make this a good challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15544: A very challenging grid, but very enjoyable. Kicking myself over missing the "Coffee" connection. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15542: A couple of simpler connections along with some more esoteric ones. Some nice crossovers make this a challenge. I enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15545: Managed all four groups but only two connections. Kicking myself for not spotting the "Braveheart" connection. An enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jules @ #14418: Very easy for Austalians (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15541: 7/10. Found this reasonably straightforward but couldn't get the legend connection (not a fan!). Well put together grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15538: I enjoyed that one! Something a bit different and more creative. Only scored 7/10 after not veibe specific enough with the For Freedom answer. Cheers mate. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15540: 7/10 I don't think this is a tough as some of the comments make it out to be. Sure it's hard to be perfect, but aren't they all. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15539: Crossovers should be limited, unless you just want a game about clicking fast. 8 clues fit the strike line, 10 fit the ring line. And I have no clue even after reading the answer about the Clamp line (Themclamp?). Bewilderment on my part. Good Luck to the next guy. (6 years, 3 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15538: Good fun :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15528: googled further - and was spelled Harrowgate in the past - apologise x (6 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15528: Harrowgate is spelled Harrogate - very tough grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15529: Glad I like the fizzy stuff xx (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15528: Oof. Might as well be "four people who have never been in my kitchen." (6 years, 3 months ago)

Degaleg @ #15540: I’m literally just watching that player as we speak, hence it’s inclusion. Appreciate it’s slightly obscure. Give yourself one point for Irish. That being said, I’m not sure the Duke of Wellington would be too happy with that description! (6 years, 3 months ago)

zac tudor @ #10711: Brilliant (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15540: the first part was easy, but I thought Irish would have been ok for Hewson etc. And Perisic? Why not use the letter L? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dh @ #15526: PEACE and Please are not prononcée the same (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15532: Take a run of the mill grid and add obscurity. Mix well... That's perhaps unfair of me because the uk locations red herring is a nice sub theme, and I hadn't read the book, but if youre looking for feedback: I've always found that solvers find the grids harder than I think they will. I got the skewes one (with repeated guesswork- had never heard its fourth member) and the bible one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #15530: Poor. Submitting the same word twice invalidates the grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15526: @Avery I don't understand why the second one wasn't accepted (I tried it myself and it worked). For the homophones group, the key word was "food" or something similar, as you needed to recognize them as homophones of that specific category of words. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sqiggle @ #15431: What's the problem? A really good grid. Well done. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15532: Clever, but far beyond my capability. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #15049: no book called wisdom in the bible (6 years, 3 months ago)

Avery @ #15518: I typed in the word portmonteaus ughhhhh (6 years, 3 months ago)

Avery @ #15526: So I wrote "homophones" for the first one and "world _" for the second one and still got no points. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sweep @ #15518: Im not sure how 'Pakistan' Is a portmanteau, but other than that, pretty good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Chris @ #15526: Really good grid, well done (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15519: Haha cheers. I was reading about the Spielberg thing the other day and I couldn't help but put that into a grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15523: 8/10 enjoyable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15521: it didn't take Microsoft office (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15509: 10/10 straightforward. no tricks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15518: Very good grid. Scored 6/10 but it could easily have been 10/10, I just couldn't sort the Bell and Ocean groups out at the end when I was down to 3 lives. Nice one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15530: I fixed it, the corrected version is Grid #15531. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15530: Thanks for pointing that out, I'll submit the corrected grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

whirligig231 @ #15509: For the record, "Remington" has one M. Otherwise, a great grid; the "scand" category was genius! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15530: Strange x 2. You'll have to explain the Ocarina answer. Enjoyed it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carol @ #15095: fantasy characters - no explanation of connections!!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15525: I make grids (some good, some not so much) under the name urbanbaboon. I sign all comments @urbanbaboon, which is my twitter handle, if someone wanted to have a back-and-forth discussion about the theory behind board building in real time, or in depth, or in a better conversational place than these comments. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15525: 5/10 Some clever concepts. Some room for improvement Constructive Criticism here: The Sklodowska line (which I got on the back end) is a group that is valid but pretty obsure. When you've got a group you like that a bit out there, you don't have to make it doubly hard by using a maiden name (you get 4 clues, generally there should be one "easy" one to gain a foothold on a concept, and conversely no more than one very hard one). Accuracy is important and El Greco, really doesn't fit the answer. People get bogged down, and there's nothing worse than pegging the idea, getting three of them, then covering the board to get all first names in, only to find you were right about the idea, but an answer you correctly precluded was somehow included. On the positive side, I didn't get the Ricardo line and I found it to be the kind of clues that when I found out the answer, you have to tip your cap to the creator. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15529: nice one 10/10, didn't know the C-G swap on the one name. Banquo is from Macbeth. Some nice concepts. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15520: Nothing wrong with erring on the side of generosity (a dangerous statement, I know). Nice herring, which did for me (6 years, 3 months ago)

Endpapee @ #15526: True but it’s such a common dad-joke pun it was easy enough to spot... enjoyed the different stresses group! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15523: Fun fact: Forty is the only number that has the property shared by the items in the "Forty" group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15523: A lot of fun - but I never would have got the "Forty" line :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15519: Did it .spielberg was clever (6 years, 3 months ago)

SeJuis @ #15523: Enjoyed it, thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15523: The "Forty" group is utterly inspired! A great grid, a healthy amount of crossovers and very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #15509: Same here JonBob, nice grid though (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15520: @Link99: Probably a bit of a catch-22, as "i" is likely to be quite a common answer for those who spot the connection, but as you say it opens up any word beginning with "i" as a correct answer. I didn't take anything off my rating for the grid's quality because of that, and I awarded myself an extra point, so no harm done! :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15523: Chance line was good (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15520: I didn't put "i" among the linking terms for that group because, if I'm not mistaken, it would make any word starting with "I" acceptable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15520: Quite straightforward but still enjoyable. "i" was not accepted as an answer for the "Pad" group, which seems a little unfair. Otherwise a good grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15506: A good amount of crossovers make sorting the groups a challenge. Very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15506: Pre also means before, and is more widely used in English to mean that. Using Pro like that is more of a Latin thing for the most part but is used in English as well. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15518: Ask and you shall receive ;-) I really like the "Pakistan" group and the "Key" group (I've actually been trying to find a way to work the latter connection into one of my own grids, so you beat me to it!) I would question whether "Garlic" fits the given connection for its group, and the connection for "Sun" group feels a bit vague. Enjoyable overall with some good ideas, I look forward to seeing what you come up with next. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15519: Straightforward but with enough challenge and some nice crossovers. I enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #15508: Points made are valid, but still a very good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15508: "Stroke" was meant to be a crossover between the two categories, I just didn't realize that the grid had two valid solutions. (6 years, 3 months ago)

flame @ #15518: Give me feedback! Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15512: The consecutive vowel link was pretty broad imo, but other than that, this is a fantastic grid. Nice job with the two sets of red herrings (scissor-paper-stone and the four elements). (6 years, 3 months ago)

James @ #15482: A perfect mix of fun and challenging. This might be my favorite so far. (6 years, 3 months ago)

SPP @ #15188: This was gay and not the good gay (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15508: Great grid, loved the categories; they were all easily accessible. As Bob pointed out, you can stroke with your hand, so "Stroke" and "Wave" are interchangeable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Quibbleuse @ #15512: Two different consecutive vowels, eh? Could kick myself for not seeing that. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15514: This may seem familiar: I corrected the egregious mistake from a few pages back... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15500: Really? Must be tough looking at the front page of your newspaper in the morning. There is a reason for it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15513: Uk specific knowledge required... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13485: Really enjoyed it (6 years, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #15508: Good however you can stroke with your hand (6 years, 3 months ago)

LB @ #15506: I always thought before was pre.....as in prenuptial, prenatal etc?? (6 years, 3 months ago)

GTB321 @ #15495: Should have done better but I was convinced one of the categories was houses (tree, white, green, haunted, work) so wasted time on that. One of the best I've played on here (6 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #15500: ALL CAPS IS ANNOYING (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15498: Nice ideas, some of which i might steal. Minor quibble in that groups like the bowling alley group can stick out if surrounded with shorter clues: even if one cannot immediately discern their exact nature the nature of the ruse is transparent. But 4* feels a little ungenerous. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15509: Not hard to sort out due to the lack of crossovers, but the "Sod" connection escaped me. Lovely. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Natalie Tern-Doubt @ #15504: That was good, but very tough. (6 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #69: Easy groups, tricky connections. Bit harsh to not accept rock for the metal genres. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orelinde @ #11533: Park Lane is purple, but it was so clever let's ignore that... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15506: 4/10 for the links. Spotted three groups from the start but couldn't find all the members. Cheers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15423: If you're going to do musicians, at least pick a group that people are likely to have heard of. This so-called band can't even spell properly! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15457: A few too many crossovers make this less enjoyable than it could have been. I like the theme running across three of the connections. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15498: Loved it. "Bonzo" let me into that group, and "Bowling Alley" was actually my in to the "Sewing Kit" group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15494: A shame about the typo, but other than that a well constructed and challenging grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15458: Very easy, a few crossovers would have made this more engaging. I got lucky on answering the "crustaceans" group exactly as you'd input the answer, so just take care on future grids with your acceptable answers as urbanbaboon has already mentioned. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15503: Cheers for comments. Agree with you on that one, in fairness, Orlando. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15487: Agree with the "Horse" and "Police" quibbles, which could have been easily resolved. Otherwise an enjoyable and challenging grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15505: Completed defeated by this grid, but very well put together. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15505: Listed as fiendish (at least when I played it) and it is. 0/10, very specific knowledge required. Not a bad thing as such I suppose though it does limit the audience. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15503: A rare 10/10, a bit of guess on the Victoria line though. Excellent grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15505: Agree... actually all but the Nelson line require pretty specialist knowledge! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15504: Never heard of sage in this context... nor fair, to be fair! The Julian group would sit better if they weren't already names. Thanks for setting :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15503: Thoroughly enjoyed this one! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15501: Easy, but fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15488: The palm/pom homophone is perfectly ok. In Standard American English the vowel sound in eg "god" is similar to that in the English pronunciation of "guard". Still a fiendish link though. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #15505: Easy? The last line is a massively obscure piece of info, and one line requires very specific knowledge (6 years, 3 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #15503: Excellent. Very well put together. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15503: Very enjoyable and satisfying -particularly so because I managed a rare 10 on a tricky grid. I'd certainly heard of butterfly..., and I'd guess that the Glasgow item would be the most obscure for US solvers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15456: Fair enough. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #15479: Explanations are incomprehensible (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15503: Top quality. It's harder than it looks to find a convincing crossover for every line (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15503: Good gridding. Butterfly isn't obscure IMO. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15456: Theres at least one.:-) I enjoyed it* but I can understand the low ratings as theres no chance of getting that group unless you remember discworld footnotes. It's going to give an "Oh" monment not an "Ah" moment. *briefly (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15501: Excellent grid. Scored 6/10 but it could easily have been 10 with a bit more luck and/or forward planning. Got the McCoy and Cooper links mixed up. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15500: Perfectly playable, and most enjoyable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15499: Easy, but fun, but easy, but fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15500: Brilliant! I was sure I had one group with a color before each word, and another group with that same color after each word. I thought that was a really neat grid idea. But both were false groups! Flummoxed me. :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

acriter @ #15488: Thanks for the suggestions. "Chest" as a verb seemed uncommon enough that I was happy with the groupings, but I now agree that "verbs" is too vague of a theme in the first place. Palm as "päm" seems to be the far more common pronunciation of the word, but it may be a bit unfair. (6 years, 3 months ago)

anon @ #15498: "synonym" acceptable? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Roxanna @ #2059: casino casino games casino games casino online casino (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15499: sun, moon...…. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15500: Far too many crossovers to be playable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15498: Entertaining grid. Mostly baffled by it. Very tricky herrings. Liked the consternation link. Didn't see it though. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15493: Reverse Ditto, as this will be above the others (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15498: 4/10 some clever ones here. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dangus @ #15262: In the connection you even say you need additional skills for the decathlon, so you should really accept track and field specialties considering that's exactly what they are. Other than that nice wall! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #15494: Nice grid, thanks, didn't get the National bit and missed the Typo :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15493: Two very esoteric groups which I would never have spotted (I'm assuming the same two as FirstGofer and Only Me!) Some nice crossovers amongst the clues. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15488: @JonBob: Exactly what FirstGofer said. The problem is really with the connection of the "Butter" group - with a connection that broad you run the risk of other clues fitting into it without even realising. I agree with FirstGofer's feedback that there are simply too many red herrings for a couple of groups - something of which I've definitely been guilty in my own grids in the past. Getting the balance between an enjoyable hard/fiendish grid and three minutes of hitting and hoping is certainly tricky. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15493: FirstGofer, I hear you! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15493: Strangely proud of not identifying 2 groups! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15488: To Chest: verb - to propel off the chest in football. My issue was that there are 8 that could fit into the Chest group... and seven into the Rubber group which made it a matter of luck getting the right combinations. Palm and P** is a stretch! Thanks for setting! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Rose Taylor @ #15494: There is a typo, sorry! Louis should be Louise. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15487: Agree with kittymcg... dropping the The in Police is a bit contrived. There are so many one word bands that would have worked better. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15489: Really liked it, though I'm skeptical of "gross" fitting its group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15488: @Lebamski: I don't see the "chest" problem, because it doesn't fit in the "butter" group. Or is there another UK meaning of "Chest" I'm missing? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Anon @ #15486: This would be a great grid but I feel that the "Side" group has some tenuous answers. Otherwise fantastic (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15488: Thanks for the grid. The "Dough" group connection feels unconvincing, and the "Butter" connection too broad. Also, you could swap "Chest" with two of the answers from the "Butter" group and still fit the stated correct answers, which means the grid actually has more than one way to correctly solve it which is frustrating. Very challenging though - I look forward to seeing future grids from you! :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15489: Managed full marks on this one. Some nice crossovers and a good variety of connections. An enjoyable and well-constructed grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

smorltork @ #15455: Elegant and appropriately challenging. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15489: Great fun. Well constructed and clever. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Diane @ #13055: Needs exact wording for connections (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15488: Hmmmm. You're saying Palm-Palm sounds like xxx-xxx? Here in the UK it doesn't. Note to self - take author's location into account before starting. You've just added a new dimension to my puzzgridding! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15489: Nicely challenging. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #15481: Thank you all, very encouraging. Toast: How odd that your two masseurs should be Angela and Jacinda (Does Angela look like Angela?)... With regards to Wiz... listening to the cursing coming from the cell next door would suggest its going to be a while, keep sending the food parcels. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15419: Yet another 7/10 missing the Polo connection. Very clever and neat grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15487: Good grid. Scored 10 to boot. The kitten group was excellent. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15488: Pretty decent grid! My biggest issue is the verb category; it might be a bit too broad, but that could just be me. For a first grid, this is pretty good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15487: Well, I think that this grid would have been better if I had replaced "horse" with "castle" (and in this case, it wouldn't refer to the rook, but the "castling" move) (6 years, 3 months ago)

acriter @ #15488: Probably should be fiendish... my bad. It's my first grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15484: 4/10 some true curveballs there. a tough one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15485: 10/10 I enjoyed the expansions into different kinds of associations than we normally see here. Nicely done! (6 years, 3 months ago)

anon @ #15480: Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a man (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15487: 10/10 liked it, harder than my score shows. I've coached middle school (grades 5-7) and though horse isn't right, it's surprising how many kids learn it that way. Rooks are sometimes called "castles" too. (6 years, 3 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15487: Sorry to nitpick but the band is The Police. I can also find no references to the knight in chess being known as the horse in English. I enjoyed it otherwise, thank you. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15487: 2/10 Hmmm tricky one for me. (6 years, 3 months ago)

CJ @ #1708: I typed "anagram" for the anagram group but it said I was wrong for no reason. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15476: Nice one and pretty hard too, especially the breeds. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15485: Another enjoyable grid - not too easy but very doable. Clever false group but didn't find it distracting. 10/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Link99 @ #15485: Really liked the "car brands" red herring. You should have given better explanation for the connections, though (not all clues are "places") (6 years, 3 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #15481: great grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15484: I found it tricky, spent too much time looking for cricket connections. The US/UK divide aside a very cleaver grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15481: 5/10 Tough one..the definite article in the Queen clue as off-putting, liked the concept, some nice crossovers (the Queen guitarist for one) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15456: Shame. I was hoping there'd be some Pratchett fans among the solvers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15480: Good one but very hard if, like me, you don't know the city in question and even if you do there are some tricky crossovers. Never heard of Snape either but it'll be a misleading item for Potter fans. (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15482: good idea, the name one is very difficult to spot (6 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15272: Very good grid and no specialist knowledge needed. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Head Teacher @ #15143: Chill! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Head Teacher @ #15140: A* (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15481: Agreed. Good one! (6 years, 3 months ago)

LB @ #15466: Too frustrating to be enjoyable for me :( (6 years, 3 months ago)

MG @ #15049: The book of Wisdom is not in the Bible but in the Apocrypha. (6 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #15481: Easy time? Far from it. In fact if it hadn't been for my glamorous assistants Angela and Jacinda remarking on the coincidental inclusion of their names while attending to my poolside massage your return from Parkhurst would have gone unnoticed in my busy day. As it is , welcome! Any idea when Wiz's case comes up for parole? (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15481: Some interesting ideas here! I will definitely quibble with your explanation of 22/7, though I understood the link. "Historical approximation of..." could be a more accurate description. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15481: Excellent. Very excellent! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15452: Nice to see a fun one in amongst the difficult ones, cheers mate. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15445: Despite the misspelling noted by Quizzer, this is an enjoyable and challenging grid. Managed to solve it, but only got three of the connections. Very well put together overall. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15478: 10/10 - but only because "kings" was accepted for the Geoffrey line. Liked it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15460: Spotted the dogs right away, then it got pretty hard fast. Celery salt is amazing but sport peppers are an abomination. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15478: Two very esoteric connections mixed with two more straightforward ones, which made it easier to spot the groups but harder to get the right answers. Some good crossovers in amongst them. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15460: Very tough, but still enjoyable. Only found one group but spotted another connection after the grid resolved. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15454: I really enjoyed this, some great crossovers but four clearly defined connections. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Kirstie @ #15455: Good for you FirstGofer (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15466: Not frustrating. I was nowhere near solving it. And you're probably right. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15455: Good one... 10/10 in 24 seconds. Had to think about the snoopy link but twigged fairly quickly. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15460: No, we don't have Chicago Style in the UK... a fiendish puzzle for us here. A measly 1/10 for me, although would've been 2 if condiments had been right. Well constructed grid though (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15462: Agree with all the comments below... counted 8 cakes if you include a cake of soap! 6/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15466: It was indeed fairly tricky but you can go group by group. There are only 4 clues that fit "3" [I don't think I agree with your alternate: "three" is not pronounced like "tree" - cf "two", or "guild", or arguably "chord"... - but apologies if that caused unintended frustration :-)]. There are also 4 clues that _only_ fit 1. That left the other 2. It's much harder avoiding alternates if you have shadow groups. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15466: Baffling but entertaining. Must've been tricky to avoid alternative solutions. I amused myself by looking for one and... two is a one-digit prime while the phoneme /h/ isn't pronouned in "three". But what the hell. Cheers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15466: Clever idea, and a great use of crossovers. I caught on to the numbers theme fairly early on, but managed to not get a single group. Well done. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15447: Very clever twist on the format; I was also a fan of the "Singer I am" bit. Might've been a little UK-centric, but it wasn't nearly that bad. Well done. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15461: 10/10 harder than my score shows. Your effort and thought is evident. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15462: 4/10 too many cakes did me in (I counted 7) and as Ricky said below, Plankton aren't necessarily animals (bacteria, algae, & fungus can be plankton), just a classification of drifting organisms. I looked it up and the show has a copepod named Plankton. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Bert @ #15121: Poor Poly (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15451: Really great grid with some fun crossovers; I had an issue where if I entered "neck" as the link for the turtle row it wouldn't be accepted; was it not accepted if it was in all lowercase? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Donald Trump @ #15439: need to sort out the answers... (6 years, 3 months ago)

DoubleHappy @ #15456: nice (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15462: Nice crossovers; my biggest issue is that "sea creatures" wasn't accepted for the Spongebob characters row. (6 years, 3 months ago)

zac tudor @ #15436: Not a good board Oregano is a herb, the 50% water link is terrible (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #15460: Good categories, with some tricky red herrings; this one was extremely difficult. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15460: messed up the Daytona explanation...you probably know anyway (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15440: 5/10 Good Board the equivalency line relation is invisible if you have American eyes. It made me laugh at myself. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Huw @ #7677: His name is Hawkin rather than Hawkins (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15452: 10/10...takes a few leaps of faith to do it. fun to play. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15458: Nice board, not too complex but enjoyable. I was going to say what Bob said more nicely, as a suggestion for future board, when you have an answer, put in the singular and the plural, or like in this case, instead of Identities, just put Ident, and the design of the game will allow either. Same on the critter line, just write critter and it will accept critter or critters. (6 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #68: Is Sangria a colour tho? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Bob @ #15458: Pretty poor. Getting the groups is trivial as there are no overlaps. But then getting some of the connections is impossible. E.g. The group with the single word description "Crustaceans" doesn't accept "crustacean" as the answer. (6 years, 3 months ago)

She Dog @ #15458: Really fun! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sqiiggle @ #15445: Clever grid. Well done. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15454: Trying to figure out how to make an easy grid, without being boring. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ricky @ #1396: For those expressing confusion in the comments below... In the U.S.A. a "full" mattress is a term for the size of mattress between "twin" and "queen". The terms "double" can also be used in place of the term "full". In the U.S. they refer to the same exact size of mattress. Different countries have other standards for terms and sizes of mattresses so keep this in mind. :) https://www.us-mattress.com/mattress-size-information.html (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15452: Simple enough once you spot the pattern, which I didn't until the end. Thanks for posting. (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15442: Gah - didn't recognise Robert. A deceptively simple grid with tons of potential groups and crossovers. Nice one! (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15443: Great mix of categories. Poor knowledge in a couple of areas left me with too many Mary Rose relatives to sort out the groups - and thirsty ... (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15451: Excellent, and not just because I managed a rare tenner on one of your walls ;) The V crossover is clever. (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15449: Very tough but I liked it. Managed the garlicky group but none of the others. Thanks for setting! (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15447: Very French city, thanks. Appreciated the friendly 'ins' for each group. given a couple of connections were quite obscure and I suspect UK-centric (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15452: Thought it was very nice too but not so easy. Karen, Carl and the snooker item made it tricky for me and "one thousand" made me look for Ms and Ks. Liked the "popular element". I suppose we're all fond of it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15452: Very nice. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15443: good grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Quibbleuse @ #15447: Not bad but a few of the definitions are inconsistent ie where it is rather than what it is and missing word instead of definition." Agree to do" is particularly dodgy. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15447: Loved the singer I am (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15443: Very enjoyable. Thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15265: The scar connection is very deep! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15262: More minority specialist know!edge required here and surely just athletes should be accepted for the one group and comparative adjectives for another? (6 years, 3 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15441: Superb! Really well crafted. At least three of the categories are simple, common words not obscure knowledge. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Kirstie @ #15442: Bit tough like (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15443: 3/10 Maybe it's a USA vs UK thing, but this was really difficult. Reading the answers, I only found the Meridian line, over the top. Decent grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15440: Very nice. Next time try to align your parts of speech a bit better; "Trainers" doesn't fit its category in the same way the other three do, which is confusing and a bit unsatisfying. An item should either be an example of a category, or it should be a wordplay thing (e.g. a word follows this or precedes this), not a mix of both in a single category. (6 years, 3 months ago)

anthony @ #15443: a good grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15431: Cool. I think I will avoid links based on pronunciation for a while, nevertheless :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15436: LB, I think it should read 50%. No, I didn't get that right either. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15431: My criticism isn't meant as anything. As a US Fan of the game, there's about 30% of things you all take as common, I literally never heard of. And if you've played my board, I get a lot of grief for being "tremendously obscure." The homophone thing works like that. These should just be chalked up to cultural differences, not taken offence to, nor too seriously, and one can play one of the other 10K boards out there. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15097: 7/10..I'm glad the game makers are putting in this kind of effort & that players aren't discouraging it for being a touch difficult. Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15431: We can't agree about homophones unless we use a common frame of reference. Standard English and Standard American English are familiar to everyone, including those who speak a non-standard variety of the language. Online dictionary definitions usually include phonetic transcriptions (/fəˈnet.ɪk trænˈskrɪp.ʃənz/). It's easy to check whether two words that are spelt differently have identical transcriptions or not. Otherwise, we'll be seeing more debates like this one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15437: 6/10 This was certainly a challenge. Meant in a very positive way, unique take on this game, that is much appreciated, because of not in spite of its difficulty. a clear 5 star effort. (6 years, 3 months ago)

LB @ #15436: Don't get the last one :( (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15437: Have a look at grid !5097. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15439: Good construction but in this context, Sat should be SAT. Had to look up Cat... that should also be full caps. Unless, of course, you went for Gcse. Also, didn't accept synonyms. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15437: didn't get the groups in time, but clocked the theme. Good, innovative grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15437: Very enjoyable grid. Since I assume I’m in the company of many fellow pedants and trivia enthusiasts I will add that I was so surprised to see ‘lingua franca’ was in the Italian group that I looked it up. Apparently the language it’s in is in fact called Lingua Franca! This language from around the Levant was the origin of the term ‘lingua franca’, with lingua being derived from Italian and Portuguese, while franca comes from Arabic and Greek. Found that rather pleasing - and it didn’t stop the grid still working well! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #15436: Good luck anyone getting the cucumber link (6 years, 3 months ago)

chris @ #15432: very good, like the clever way Cluedo names were used but were not part of the solution (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15430: A good grid let down by the double clue. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #14471: Only 1 word from the replace line is actually a word...waist, Isan, Isamb and Tois are not words I am familiar with, but even if they are words, too obscure for guessing. 3 of your Mountain chains are already referred to in the singular, so the clue is redundant, and the 4th doesn't work because Andy is not singular for Andies. American Pie line has references that could genuinely be from anything..nothing specifically ties them to the clue, so no chance of guessing, and Ark and Arc are 2 entirely separate things, so there is no way you can bundle them together just because they sound similar. Not being picky for the sake of it I promise...just constructive criticism. :) (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15431: To add to the Ruck debate... many people say ruck with an 'uh' sound, and rook 'oo' sound. Otherwise, good one! (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15433: Nicely done. Thought the skate group must have had a more specific connection I couldn't spot, but I'll take the points. Liked the Bingo group in particular. (6 years, 3 months ago)

asdf @ #14471: The clue with the Ls makes no sense. Iamb does not contain an L to replace, and IAN is a name and should not be included in a word clue like this (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15431: @urbanbaboon. Yes, you saw it in grid 15317. As I said in the comments at the time, "porn" wouldn't work with American pronunciation but in Standard English the R isn't pronounced before a consonant sound, making it a true homophone of "pawn". (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15431: Ruck /rʌk/; rook /rʊk/. Only works if you come from oop narth. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15431: A difficulty compounded by "ruck" which is even harder for me to believe. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #15419: Bit easy to get grid, didn't get -nium (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15318: 6/10 The one line made me chuckle. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15419: Good clean fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15431: 7/10 I've seen the Porn clue before, and I still don't believe it. Otherwise, very nice board. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15424: Considering the incredible amount of Soccer that populates this board, I figured Hope to be a gimme. She's got 2 Olympic Golds, 1 World Cup win, and was voted best goalkeeper in the last two World cups. Flying was used to false cross to this line. Can I ask, when y'all watch Only Connect, are you getting all of them from your chair? I find myself patting myself on the back just for finding one sometimes. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15419: 7/10, foiled by polo. Good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15416: Certainly not pointless (as commented below) although that does describe my score for this grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15424: Was thinking the same as Orlando... though Han instead of Hope would've helped me! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15420: 2/10... got the 'missing' group and solution but the obscurity of the other groups stumped me. @Peekay... the grid I see has the c in socrates. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15424: Just one group and three links. Some (for me) obscure items like "west", "hope" and ""flying" (why not just "fly"?) prevented me from finding more groups. A tricky one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15419: Managed 7/10. Well constructed with a fiendish line. Nice one (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15422: 7/10..appreciate the effort on the "hole" line, those types are never perfect. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15420: Took one look and gave up. Couldn't see anything at all familiar to get me started. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15246: Didn't accept "words elsewhere on grid reversed" but enjoyable all the same. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #15318: @FirstGofer Thanks. I really enjoyed the grid . Sometimes it's fun spotting connections that really aren't there! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1196: 7/10 pretty simple, but nice distraction (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15423: easy but pleasant (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13751: Didn't accept Battles! Why not?!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Shazza @ #15212: Good grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Shazza @ #15219: Enjoyed it (6 years, 3 months ago)

Peekay @ #15420: You missed the "C" from Socrates which ruled it out for me, and as James stated the other answers were bafflingly obscure (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15420: For my taste, you've taken a solid core concept but then spoiled it by picking items that are too obscure. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5456: 3/10. A very conceptual board. Skating the line between utter brilliance and a pure waste of time. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #10175: 10/10 due to generous descriptions. enjoyable (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15419: 6/10 some classic Puzzgrid elements here, but done well with nice crossovers, and a challenging final line. (6 years, 3 months ago)

GeordieBigBoots @ #11778: The answers aren't picked up correctly (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15378: Alwight alwight, I see you've played Mozarty Beethoveny before. (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15417: 4/10 and no hope of getting more. The Peep Show characters threw me for a loop, never mind the Potter decoys (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15386: Well spotted JonBob - evidently I can't count! Happily I don't think it makes it any harder to solve that group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

bluetruck @ #15417: If only kids these days spent more time at the loom and less time in front of the box watching mindless crap like Peep Show and Harry Potter then the country would be in a much better state (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15417: Two good groups but I have to agree with @Joe... the Dobby group is incredibly obscure and Mark just doesn't work. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #15417: loom??? The shops is not called Marks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #15395: Not good (6 years, 3 months ago)

Joe @ #15416: Pointless grid... Was a waste of time. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Reinaldo @ #2059: cassino online casino real money casino slotsslots online casinos online online casino real money (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15417: Parts of a loom. Would never have guessed it. And not a single Harry Potter link. Good one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15387: Well, "magic" requires a space for that connection to work, and the others can be a single word. I think you're good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15386: "Eccles" doesn't fit the description of its group, but I still appreciate what you did with that one and Prove. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15381: Fantastic shadow group! Threw me for a while before the others clicked. (6 years, 3 months ago)

anon @ #15378: Magic Flute is Mozart (6 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #66: Great! Nice range. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15370: Looks like double quotes currently break grids. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mr Cutie @ #15391: Well done to the quiz maker. It reminds me of the great quizmaster, Doroshy (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15389: Tough, scored 3. Too many overlaps for me to sort out but a good grid nevertheless. Cheers (6 years, 3 months ago)

Misrer Tom @ #15393: Good one. Got nowt for two minutes and then eureka. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15395: If you actually require 4th in the answer, I'd be astounded if anyone gets it. Not a fan of holiday in this category as it doesn't fit the pattern (@steveh - bank holiday). You could have used many things, such as : left, west, piggy, bottle, river, investment? Again, IMO party doesn't fit... neither really does Frankfurt. Sorry! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15393: Time line then struggled didn’t see happy accident .hard one (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15394: Knew what I was looking for but couldn’t do it .no lines then four easy answers. Well done (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15395: 2 straight away even though holiday bank is new to me the city one I doubt many will get that (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15395: 6/10 Some specific answers needed. Overall good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15394: 3/10..One very clever line, two about par, one never heard of. Some nice crossovers, not unplayable, but skews to the UK. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15389: Well set... sorted the groups with seconds to go my missed the Angers connection. A fine challenge (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15387: clever and challenging... no biggie on the magic/bulls (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15384: Excellent grid - very enjoyable (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13753: "Cigarettes" didn't work. Why?! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15380: I have no idea why my grids load, but don't work. Tried 3 browsers now :-( (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15393: Didn't see the bang group till the end and didn't see the linger group at all. 5/10. Nice one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Luke @ #15344: All the descriptions for connections are wrong: I went with "fly out, go out, take out and eat out", and I thought that's better and more specific; Pence is not a currency - Pound is, and a pence is a coin worth 1/100th of a pound, and Dime is a coin of Dollar, not a currency itself, but the connection of "coin" wouldn't work either, as there isn't a coin of $1. I would be even fine with "words with two of the same letter" if 'mummy' wouldn't have 3 M's. You can do better than that. (6 years, 3 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15389: got the links but so many crossovers meant couldn't get all the groups in time - good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15381: Nicely done. I liked the shadow group (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15390: Very good. Couldn't separate the sand from the jam in time but the links were clear at the end. 6/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15389: Very nice. Reminds me of a recent and truly fiendish grid full of women's names from song titles. I spent three minutes looking for an inexistent group of first ladies. This was hard but fair. (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15389: Love the Eleanor Rugby typo. That must be the sport they play in Liverpool ;) A fine grid too (6 years, 3 months ago)

Misrer Tom @ #15389: Excellent. (6 years, 3 months ago)

BillyBB @ #15373: Got me on those non-standard nouns! Many thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

BillyBB @ #15386: Great grid! Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15377: Nice one. 5/10 for me after missing the crane group. Like the varied connections and crossovers (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15378: That was satisfying to disentangle. Not sure how I knew the shells group - either osmosis or previous grids! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15385: I live in Florida, so the Marathon context is more common to me. I chose that one because (1) it's in proper order, and (2) if someone goes for the purpose of "Swimming with Dolphins" which I imagine is a world-wide phenomenon, they are headed to The Dolphin Research Center which is located there. (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15375: Needed a punt on the Pulp Fiction connection for the full house. A quality grid as always - thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15385: 4/10 for me. Found two groups quickly but whiffed on the orient group, and marathon was new to me in that context. Thanks for the fun challenge! (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15387: I suspect the issue won't trip up too many as the magic overlap is more obscure. I liked this one - thanks for setting it (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15384: 5/10, which I blame on not enough coffee. Ruislip and Kansas are new to me but I should have found the Libra group. Enjoyable links and the shadow set of five is very clever (6 years, 3 months ago)

Matt @ #15389: beatles line was good (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15366: This was good fun - thanks. The badger showed the way in and the rest followed quickly (6 years, 3 months ago)

BillyBB @ #15390: Got 'em just in time! Great grid. Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13775: Enjoyed this (6 years, 3 months ago)

MyName @ #7545: Miaow (6 years, 3 months ago)

Collette @ #7308: Love it 😂 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13782: Famous???? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13785: Not Gouda enough (6 years, 3 months ago)

HETTY BOOMER @ #15213: A REALLY TOUGH ONE - GREAT (6 years, 3 months ago)

HETTY BOOMER @ #15363: MMM TRICKY (6 years, 3 months ago)

HETTY BOOMER @ #8672: ENJOYED THIS ONE (6 years, 3 months ago)

HETTY BOOMER @ #15381: TOO SIMPLE (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15384: I was legolas last night and should have tried this then only the archers for me. Good one (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15385: Should have done this one but went up wrong path .pretty good (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15387: If you recognise everything in all the boxes and still can’t do it then that equals a good grid .This one was good (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15388: The lynx one has been done a few times so once that was done the others become clear (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15386: Ah excellent grid as usual. 7/10, you did me with the Judge line. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13797: Things you can LOSE. Doesn't accept LOSE so no one will get this all right. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13801: Date not allowed and neither was 'Simpson', which is the family name not Simpsons! Rubbish (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13806: Rubbish final clue. Either go with all the orchestral families or do something else. Plus, composer doesn't fit with the other three. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13816: 'Stephen' not accepted. Getting tired of people making basic mistakes like this. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15381: Enjoyed it. Now back to the garden. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13820: Farm not accepted!!!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15388: Ouch 1/10. You did say fiendish. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15387: Yep, enjoyed this, thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15387: Wouldn't have noticed the mistake as I know nothing about the NBA, which is why I only managed 7. Nice one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15366: Outstanding stuff, truecockney - five stars. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13833: Nice (6 years, 3 months ago)

anthony @ #15381: a good grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

thebacklash @ #15265: I'm so sorry that tele doesnt accept i'm only 10 so dont get too angry at me (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13893: The spelling of whiskey is used incorrectly here for all these brands. Poor. Teachers and Islam don't have an 'e' and it's Jim Beam (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13893: The spelling of whiskey is used incorrectly here for all these brands. Poor (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13914: Painting materials not accepted and also, these are clothing brands - they make more than just jeans. (6 years, 3 months ago)

duckling trauma @ #15366: A very enjoyable grid, thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15387: Apologies in advance as there isn't a unique solution to the grid. Magic and Bulls are completely interchangeable, I didn't consider that Magic could be part of another group. Hope it's enjoyable anyway. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #3594: Pretty good. Enjoyed this one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #2184: Very easy. Predictable herrings. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Oghrlando @ #13252: Easy enough. "Calico" was the only tricky bit for me. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15385: 3/10. Saw three of the groups from the start but very tricky herrings stopped me from sorting them out. Good one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15386: 5/10. Got me with the books and Genoa. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15384: Aetees: Well you must have heard of The Archers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #13951: 10/10..straightforward (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15384: (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15386: 5/10 tough but fair. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #4567: 3/10..some privileges taken with the language. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15384: As an Englishman, I still don't know who Doris and Dan are. Fun grid never the less. (6 years, 3 months ago)

David @ #65: Decent, but very media based. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13951: Whisky not accepted which is just plain wrong. Single malt is a whisky, both spellings should have been accepted. Poor. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15373: 7/10. Solid game. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15384: 7/10 from an American. I enjoyed this one, demonstrable thought put in, and worth it. Fun to play (missed the Ruislip connection). didn't know Doris and Dan but found by elimination. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13980: Synonyms of strange not accepted....odd! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15377: 5*. Lots of little distractions (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13984: Martial arts moves not accepted (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15384: Ahhh....that's who they are! Still got 10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15380: Another grid that won't start when you click on begin, like15369, also by FirstGofer. Very strange. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15384: I usually try to keep my grids U.S. friendly but I couldn't resist including Doris and Dan from an iconic BBC radio series. Sorry. (6 years, 3 months ago)

MyName @ #7315: This was almost my first successful attempt at completing a grid. Got stuck on Barry Sheene. Inspired! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15378: Same as FirstGofer. 4/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15374: 7/10...I've learned that if you have a bunch of names and you don't have any Idea, type in Football. Thought this was a clever, difficult, fun board. Won't see too many 10s (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15381: 6/10. Nice fun board. Didn't get Landscaping for the grass line, nor chores for the trash line. Think it's just differences in word meaning across the ocean. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15381: pretty easy but not bad (6 years, 3 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15368: Loved it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15366: Very enjoyable grid! I think you pos wanted the noun version of advice rather than the verb but still worked! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15378: Same - but I quite like it when grammar patterns (in this case I think we had 5 plural nouns) help deduce groups where more specialist knowledge required. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15300: Awesome, enjoyed that. Haven't heard of Pod in this context but it didn't stop me getting 10/10. Cheers mate. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15368: Good grid, gave you 5*. Scored 7/10 after not identifying the Story group. Cheers! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15368: Good grid, gave you 5*. Scored 7/10 after not identifying the Story group. Cheers! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15378: A proper toughie for me... no knowledge of the Wild or Mushrooms groups made it very hard to solve. However, a well constructed grid. :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15377: Good grid... the answer to the Super group could potentially (and maybe tenuously) be 'man'. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15373: Yep, pretty easy but also enjoyable. Gave you 5*. Cheers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Me the Prick @ #15359: The Argonauts IS not A SHIP. (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15373: 10/10, 2.36, had to think about 1 connection though. Good beginner's grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15372: One of the farm group was a new one on me, otherwise straightforward enough (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15375: pretty good. Liked the wolf link (6 years, 3 months ago)

Tatties @ #13037: Why am I so horny? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #15363: What can i say, best i've seen so far, knew the groups but too many permutations. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15367: However, if you don't know what a Dutch reach is, you're definitely one of today's lucky 10000... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15367: Nah, that's just idiocy... (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15368: Deceptive grid... looked more straightforward than it was. As Ben said, you can switch yard with either Foot or Hand, so several possible solutions. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15367: Only 3... discounted Lewis as couldn't place Son in that group. Have never heard of Reach Oven or Uncle in that context, but that's no reflection on the grid! :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ben @ #15368: Yard and Hand/Foot could be swapped and would still fit. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orelinde @ #14101: Totally missed the former name of Salisbury! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orelinde @ #13098: Got the groups but missed the "wings" connection - very nice :) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orelinde @ #14742: Absolutely flummoxed me! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15370: I GIVE UP!!!! PuzzGrid doesn't like me. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15357: Having problems posting - sorry. No idea why :-( (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15361: A good concept that I saw fairly quickly (thanks to Sherbert!). I opted for time related words but missed the solutions to the Splay and Stall groups, probably because have and take seemed related as did Tall and Low. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15368: Nice grid. Found it very tricky and didn't see the link for the ground group till the end. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15359: Record time for me... 17 seconds. Didn't see any crossovers. Didn't accept fish, but I gave myself the point! The original 'ship' was the Argo... I guessed the solution on that one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15369: apologies - having problems getting grids to work. Ignore this one (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15367: Advertised as easy but found it hard, maybe because I haven't read "The Magician's Son". Phone playing up again? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #13991: Ok but the titanic line is odd! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Coliy @ #15368: Good in. Nice connections (6 years, 3 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15219: Very good but didn't accept " homophones of me, I, you, and one" (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15366: good one (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15355: 6/10. Good one. Tricky crossovers, especially the Grace/Ulysses herrings. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15366: 4 links but only 2 groups. Didn't catch on quickly enough. Liked this one a lot. Different. (6 years, 3 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15361: Good fun :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #14052: Didn't accept Natalie!!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15353: Excellent grid! Thank you (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15361: @urbanbaboon: There certainly is. I thought about writing "time-related adverbs" in the explanation. Should've put "time " among the keywords. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #14052: Didn't accept Natalie!!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #14053: Types of knot not accepted! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Dude @ #14096: "All use the same letters" not allowed! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #473: 10/10 A very easy board, that is still playable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15361: 7/10, think there's a time element to the Snow line (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15363: On second thoughts... you can switch these round, eg put charlton in the england group, law in the man u group and wilson or callaghan in the pm group. So not a valid grid im afraid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

LB @ #15336: I clearly need to stay in more! Only heard of one or two of these :( (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15361: @Mister Tom: Didn't see it myself but glad you liked it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15363: Forgot about Law, damnit, and so was roundly defeated (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15359: Disconnected. (6 years, 3 months ago)

MR R @ #15355: Loved this one - my Joyce isn't great (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15361: A little harsh! Although it was pretty straightforward when you saw it. I liked the shadow group of words which changed their pronunciation when beheaded. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Tominho @ #98: Great fun! A pleasure to complete. Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

Tominho @ #15353: Good one! Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

LB @ #15359: Didn't accept fish :( (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15359: Managed a 7. Tough to get 10 when the last line had three boats I'd never heard of and one that wasn't a boat. Enjoyed it anyway. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15361: Another trivial trick. Easy if you see through it. And as for "sherbert",well, it's spelt that way in the Urban Dictionary. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7832: 5/10 considering the designer isn't a natvie English speaker it's more impressive than that. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7088: 7/10 when they are all last names, it's always tougher than it should be (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15359: 4/10...decent little game (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15357: Haven't seen the grid. Clicked on the begin button but it didn't. Strange. (6 years, 3 months ago)

SS your classmate @ #15199: (6 years, 3 months ago)

SS your classmate @ #15199: nice one (6 years, 3 months ago)

SS your classmate @ #15328: Great puzzle Danel (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #15355: Pretty easy if you knows yer Joyce (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15353: 5/10 some clever stuff here. A very nice effort. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15354: 3/10 50% clever 50% sports. Pretty Good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Missus Tom @ #15353: Excellent grid, nice work!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15355: 6/10..Straightforward & enjoyable (6 years, 3 months ago)

Hector @ #15355: I liked. Cracked it with seconds to go - nice misdirections (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15353: Saw the groups,except for sofa, from the start, but couldn't sort them out. Just 3 for links. A hard one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15353: 3/10, mostly outside my sphere of knowledge. Well put together. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15353: Goya, not you hiya, in the explanation. Damn phone clearly has no time for art. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15277: erm... gray isn't exactly a homophone, but an alternative (US) spelling of the colour (I mean, color) grey. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15280: Not sure Chess is actually a sport... (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15350: Glasgow isn't a capital, the Root group could also be England. Needed some crossovers (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15349: didn't see a crossover... think with all the options you gave for the hungary line, you could have just accepted countries! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15340: @Mister Tom... I thought about that and was considering Savage, but didn't want to be a) too obscure or b) lose my herring (not a sentence I've ever typed before!) (6 years, 3 months ago)

HETTY BOOMER @ #15329: DIDN'T SOLVE THIS ONE ! (6 years, 3 months ago)

HETTY BOOMER @ #15332: REALLY LIKED THIS ONE (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15348: Any of these groups would have been fine individually I think! But collectively this Felt more a test of knowledge than a great grid. (As it happened I had most of said knowledge and got the groups out in a minute or so... :=P) (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15351: 10/10 Pretty good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

DJ DANNY @ #15348: Got them by luck but the answers were far too tricky (6 years, 3 months ago)

DJ DANNY @ #15349: The grid was great but didn’t agree with some of the answers though (6 years, 3 months ago)

coward @ #15342: 'synonym' should be acceptable answer (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #9570: 5/10 terrific. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #281: 10/10 Remarkably good..fun to play. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Bernard @ #12144: Interesting one! And certainly fiendish! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Bernard @ #15351: Great! Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ezra @ #3998: How naive of you to believe the band's explanation for their name being derived from a jam made by grandma! Pearl Jam is a humorous euphemism for sperm/ejaculate! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7078: 0/10 another contender for most difficult board on Puzzgrid (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7837: 2/10 this might be the most difficult puzzle I've seen here. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #10112: 10/10 some different concepts here, nice. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #12144: 4 of 10..difficult, but reasonably fair (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15324: 2/10 very very difficult (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15188: I didn't allow fables to get credit because the fables are all attributed to the same person, and there are other fables out there (I live in the Deep South USA, and we have Uncle Remus, for one). Considering the difficulty, maybe I should've let this pass, but this was my reasoning. (6 years, 3 months ago)

You @ #15323: You didn't spell Meghan right. And that's not even one of the five worst things about this grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15349: 6/10 easy fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Only Me @ #15349: Wouldn't take European. Feel like I've been Trumped. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15349: Ah I see Mr Trump has introduced you to classic American literature. A simple grid but fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #15350: Glasgow's not a capital (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15348: duval is easier than Hamilton - at least David Duval has often been among the leaders in many major tournaments. Never heard of Todd Hamilton before now (6 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #15350: easiest yet 2.26 10/10. Should have had some cross-overs (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jkorda @ #15320: Took me a minute! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15340: The wakeman group are also all musicians if you go far.enough back... but i guess the red herring should have given.your intended connection away. Good.grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15349: Only one crossover I could see. (6 years, 3 months ago)

DJ DANNY @ #15350: Didn’t really work for me (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mrs Inman @ #15348: Too obscure.. neither a 'Pool fan nor a golfer! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mrs Inman @ #15349: Very good puzzle! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15348: the Duval line requires very specialist knowledge... to be fair, as does the Hunt line. Other 2 I got quickly. :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

disappointed @ #15344: pathetic. 2 of the same letter in them and verbs aren't good reasons to be a group (6 years, 3 months ago)

DJ DANNY @ #15328: Sorry about the moods (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15344: This didn't really work for me... esp. the euro line and the Yay line which didn't follow a pattern. The take line could have had the solution 'followed by up' and is very vague. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15340: Very nice grid. Seemed tough at first but managed a 10 to my surprise. Cheers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15343: 4/10 The Wales line is rough. Solid game, mostly easy, lots of redherrings, tough to get em all. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15342: 7/10. Lines like the Top line require a lot of options for answers. But a nice game. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15340: 6/10 tough board. Nice diversions (6 years, 3 months ago)

Flanners @ #15338: Loved it! took some dredging but got 10. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15324: Fiendish indeed, athough "queen" wasn't accepted as an answer for the relevant group. Some novel ideas in this grid which I enjoyed though. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15341: Same as Aetees... and I typed the plural for the Ring line (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15333: Very enjoyable with some good crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15336: I spotted all the connections after the grid was resolved, but it baffled me for most of the three minutes. Very enjoyable and well constructed. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15341: Shame that it didn't accept homophones for the Sicks line or the singular for the Ring line but a decent grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15338: A very specialist group which defeated me. Definitely fiendish! Thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15337: Somehow managed all four groups despite knowing next to nothing about cricket. I also guessed "rabbits" for the "Peter" group Orlando. A good grid, but could do with further refinement in the connections as FirstGofer says. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15339: Certainly not fiendish as advertised. "Shrews" is a typo, which is a shame as it threw me off the connection. Also didn't accept "princess" for the relevant group. With a bit more attention to detail this would be a fun easy/medium grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15338: Gave up! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15337: Got the groups sorted in 22 seconds as no crossovers but, personally, i think the solutions need to be a bit broader. Australian test cricketers and English test cricketers are correct too. Put Shakespearean characters... not specific enough. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15336: bamboozled by this one! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15335: Liked this one - well set (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15329: Got the fish, and the Quad group quickly despite the spelling mistake... scull, not skull. Didn't accept rowing teams... they're not actual boats. The other 2 groups where way beyond me! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15328: Fairly straightforward, got the groups quickly. Didn't accept 'moods' though. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15332: Ingenious. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15322: A toughie for me, due to my lack of US pool... well set! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #583: Fun (6 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #583: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #583: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #15333: Too hard for a Wednesday (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15318: @Ian... you've made me smile, a lot! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15337: Very hard if you don't follow the sport in question. Thought the Jack and Peter group were rabbits. Ah well. 2/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15338: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15338: Too hard. You might at least have put Lucy and Eleanor in the Michelle group to get us started. Spent the time looking for American first ladies based on Martha, Barbara and Michelle. I'd be surprised if anyone manages to sort this lot out. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15336: Saw a couple of groups from the start but the crossovers and some unfamiliar names kept me clicking till the end. Good one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15331: 6/10 All 8 Countries fit in one category. Red Herrings are good, but once you get past 6 on a topic there's too many combos to sort. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #568: 7/10 good mix of topics & difficulty (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #386: 4/10 Well crafted, tricky but fair (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #404: 7/10 the doctors got me good. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #403: decent little game 7/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #15333: Lucky to find first group, no idea on the Mc's except Escher (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15335: Very nicely done - and good work on the accepted clues and explanations too. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15333: Good one. Liked the link for the rabbit group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Quibbleuse @ #15331: Things in China felt a bit tenuous and ninja shouldn't be in the group. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15328: Hard but fair (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15329: Fish straight away then dead end for me footballers very hard (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15331: Failed on the countries the other two no problem (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15332: Did it pretty quick,not bad (6 years, 3 months ago)

Steve h @ #15333: All but the mc’s for me (6 years, 3 months ago)

Tominho @ #11691: Wunderbar! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Collette @ #15334: I like! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mauldenite @ #15266: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Collette @ #15332: Inspired! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carley’s mum @ #15317: Far too clever for me! Satisfying answers (6 years, 3 months ago)

LB @ #15327: I thought ' weighed down' would be acceptable? (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mauldenite @ #15300: Nearly slipped up (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mauldenite @ #15281: Enjoyable (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mauldenite @ #15326: Good! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Goatboy @ #15328: Nice!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #15318: Liked this grid Only 7/10 as I didn't get the airlines. I was wondering if they were punchlines of bad jokes (Where's she from? Alaska/I'll ask her, How many ears does Spock have? The left ear, the right ear, the final frontier). Or maybe they contain names of middle aged men: Al, Ron, Del, Ian! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15316: I haven't done one in a while. I'd be fixated on the fact that if you drop qu from quadric, you get the name of probably the most memorable Doctor who companion Adric. Admittedly not my best work, but one I wanted out of my head. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15327: Managed 7 despite the mistake. Liked the laden link. Nice one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15327: You added the extra H in the wrong place - but there's still an SI unit in there... (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15326: "The name's F - the letter F" (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mauldenite @ #15328: Good fun (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mauldenite @ #15328: Good fun (6 years, 3 months ago)

Paratus @ #15324: Sorry, the titles of the groups didn't come through somehow. They are: UK Comedians past and present UK Shadow Home Secretaries Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy Queen (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15317: @Mister Tom: Grassy arse. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15319: Looked hard at first glance. Then it didn't get any easier. 3/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15318: 7/10. Didn't know the airlines. Liked the links link. The only limit to this puzzle format is the setter's imagination but I don't see many that can be described as original. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15270: Very easy as advertised. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15317: Knot the wurst (6 years, 3 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #15319: Good Gridding! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15319: A shame "online" wasn't accepted for the relevant group. Other than that, a very enjoyable and well-constructed grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Anna Dapter @ #15322: Great stuff, well done! I was getting there, but ran out of time. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Carley’s mum @ #15270: 3 were very easy but embarrassed to say I did not get the wolverine link (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15319: Very well put together, and completely fair - which can be tricky when trying for something 'high-concept' like this. Hats off to you. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15318: I loved it - tricky, but then one suddenly sees it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15317: Lovely stuff, well done. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15316: I feel this would be improved if you picked slightly more obscure groups and then better-known members of them, rather than quite obvious groups and then members that many people won't have heard of. The way this grid is put together, it's just a matter of pot luck whether a player is aware of this arcane knowledge. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JK @ #14891: Loved it! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15318: Thumbs up.for originality even though by definition you were avoiding it... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15312: A nice idea, but this grid proves why it's so tricky to have four "words before/after" clues in one grid. "Count" and "Stand" could be swapped directly and still fit the stated connections, so the grid technically has more than one correct answer. As others have already pointed out, there are other connections which could fit the correct groups, which makes the grid a bit too frustrating overall. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15318: This is all getting a bit meta now with the Cluedo line. Caught out by my lack of aviation knowledge in the end. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15316: Agree with Orlando, the 'odd' phrases gave away an otherwise clever connection. As I spotted the "Rose" group very quickly too, the other two groups fell into place quite quickly. I enjoyed this overall, but it could have been refined a little further to add more challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15317: I enjoyed this one. As you say, once you recognise the common theme the clues fall into place quite quickly. Still, a great concept and good fun. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15318: A tough grid. I spotted the "Juliet" group immediately, but couldn't untangle the other three. One group connection feels too tenuous and open to debate, but the other three are great. Enjoyable overall. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15317: Excellent concept - took a minute to figure out the theme, then the groups came quickly. Clever! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15316: 10/10 with 59s remaining. Thoroughly enjoyable. :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15318: Oops... changed a 'tile' and forgot to change explanation. Doesn't affect group or solution though. Apologies! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15316: Just 3/10. Got the Moe and co straight away because the phrases were so odd they could only be hiding something. Spent the rest of the time time fruitlessly searching for gardens because I knew two of them. A tough one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1792: 4/10 ok game (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7793: 6/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15317: PS. Should work for Americans too, apart from "porn" maybe. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #9293: 10/10 nice and easy, even with the one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15317: Hopefully this won't be too hard once solvers catch on to the theme. Warning: regional accents may vary. All of these clues work with Standard English pronunciation so please don't tell me how they are pronounced in Northumberland or wherever. (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15311: Finish flag confused me! Fun grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15305: Enjoyed this... didn't get the anderson connection. Good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

HJGB @ #15301: Good grid - though might be worth changing to sett :) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15300: Simple but enjoyable. Thank you. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15310: Not so keen on the fort link. Much harder when the mystery word can come before or after. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #28: 4/10 You can sense the effort. Nicely done (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15303: 4/10 don't know the rhymes. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15310: 7/10 this one's pretty good (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #6873: 6/10 if you don't want to think too hard (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #6909: 0/10 you might like if your a big soccer fan (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #6891: 4/10 lots of soccer (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #6913: 10/10 solid work (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7022: 5/10 okay. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7031: 4/10. a fine line between clever and... (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15310: Beautiful grid - don't hide your light under a bushel! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5996: 7/10 some creativity, not difficult (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5998: 4/10 reasonable (6 years, 3 months ago)

NevBell @ #15315: Nice grid. Thanks (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15311: Liked this one. Once you catch on to the theme, it's not too hard. Currants and the finish flag were nice touches. I imagine I'm not the only one who was guessing what colours might be flying in Finland. (6 years, 3 months ago)

M @ #15315: Good one! (6 years, 3 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15305: Clever googly crossover. Nice one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JonBob @ #15285: 7/10 Missed the same thing as urbanbaboon, and for the same geographical reason. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15311: 10/10 I liked the attempt relations that aren't as common as normally used here, yet approachable. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15312: 6/10, the words used are too common. The Blow group could be "Out"- no credit The Down group could be "Take" or others - no credit (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15312: Indeed, it's often tricky to use common phrasal verbs as they work with a number of valid solutions. I had the same group as "back", which also fits correctly. Still, a jolly well-made grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Aetees @ #15311: Quacking aside I enjoyed that. Sound theme well delivered. Not too tricky but good fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

duckling drama @ #15311: marvellous grid quack quack (6 years, 3 months ago)

duckling drama @ #15312: I thought the mark group would work as shut...but enjoyed the grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15301: My best guess for the peso group was currencies. Ah well, "tweak" seemed unlikely anyway, although I'd enjoy ordering some at the bank. (6 years, 3 months ago)

rrr @ #15188: I put "fables" for the first one, think it should have been accepted. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15282: Easy but with some nice crossovers. A shame "tree" isn't accepted as an answer for the relevant group, but other than that I enjoyed this one. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15304: A good solid grid with some challenging crossovers. I don't think you need the disclaimer xoAlto - your stated connections work just fine. I enjoyed this one. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Jon @ #15305: (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15304: 5 for me too. Kept looking for a group of elements. The target link was a tough one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15304: Seems a little restrictive on answers for the group with gold in it, but all in all a very nice grid indeed. (6 years, 3 months ago)

cutler @ #15305: good one with googly and anderson they put me off (6 years, 3 months ago)

Grugen @ #15305: 10/10 in 38 seconds, luck or judgement? I'm not sure. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15305: Lack of cricket and darts knowledge let me down here. Knew there was a group of deliveries but kept including "googly". Nice one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

cutler @ #15273: good one denny (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15303: Just one link short of a ten. Should've seen it as I'm a fan of the genre but unfamiliar Orson threw me. Good one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15304: 5/10. decent board.. (6 years, 3 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15302: Influenced by at least one article on the news today! 11/06/2018 (6 years, 3 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15304: Sorry!!! Spoiler Alert One of the connections could also be periodic related, so give yourselves a pat on the back if you answered it "wrong"! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15283: Tough but enjoyable. I spotted the "Universe" connection only after the time had run out, and kicked myself over it. A great grid. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15282: not sure why it didn't accept trees. Also not sure that Sirius is a 'shade' !!! (6 years, 3 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15283: Liked this one... it was mostly harmless! Gave myself 7 as the only connection I missed was the Genesis one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15286: I share the criticisms of this grid that many others have already expressed. However, in response to @urbanbaboon's point, Google tells me that Habana is the surname of a South African rugby player, while it's my understanding that the capital of Cuba is Havana in English, or La Habana in Spanish, rather than straight "Habana" (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15301: A real mixture of connections - some very loose, others very specific. A challenging and enjoyable grid however. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15301: Another grid that kids might find it easier to solve than adults. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Grugen @ #15290: 10/10 in 40 seconds. I know my football so as always, it's easy when you know the answers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15254: Quite easy, but enough crossovers to make you think. A couple of loose connections, but I liked this grid overall. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15289: Duplicate of #15287 and #15288. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15288: Duplicate of #15287 and #15289. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15287: Duplicate of #15288 and #15289. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15263: Very easy, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. As urbanbaboon says, take care with your accepted answers - "weight" and "currency" were deemed incorrect for the relevant connections. Some nice ideas overall. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15279: Spelling mistakes, factual inaccuracies, no crossovers and correct answers not being accepted. I try to find something positive to say about most grids, but I'm really struggling here. Sorry! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15290: This definitely feels like a specialist football (soccer) grid, as every connection has at least some link to football. A bit more variety would make it more enjoyable. Thanks. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15293: Some nice ideas, but a couple of the connections feel a bit loose. Some good crossovers add some challenge, however. Thanks! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15273: Goo, well thought out grid, my only gripe is that two groups had the same answer, which must be a first for PuzzGrid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #15285: Nice and easy, but good fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #13775: 4/10. Afterwards, I feel beaten fair and square. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1070: 6/10 solid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15285: 7/10 missed the Posh line...read the answer...strange. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #136: 4/10 some parts noticeably clever. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15285: Enjoyed this one, thank you. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5978: 3/10 difficult, again needs very specific answers. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5979: 4/10 very specific answers needed for credit (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #8579: 2/10 liked the tricky Pala line. The Sherry region (Triangle) is named after the wine, not the other way around...name comes from the process. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15268: "comic book superhero accessories" Wrong. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15293: Very much focussed on one area of knowledge: probably not much fun if you arent a fan of the sport. Straightforward if yoU are. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15290: I agree with @urbanbaboon - is it really so hard to keep any one specialist subject to one group per grid? (6 years, 3 months ago)

geoff @ #7764: Appreciate the quiz but do not use IRA killers as a representative of Irish . They have killed and mained innocent people in Ulster and mainland Britain. Thanks Geoff (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15285: I liked this one .Easy but good.Well done (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15288: do you work for the bbc. repeat,repeat,repeat. get a new theme please (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15289: again with the one m in mohammed and where is chili (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15290: (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15290: you say mohamed i say mohammed (6 years, 3 months ago)

g @ #15293: didn't know sun wolves .but otherwise easy and zebras and lions are not exclusively south african (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7787: 0/10 this one is all Association Football. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7789: 3/10 Admittedly clever, hard to decipher, tough one. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #3552: 7/10 fell into the airplane trap. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #8588: 4/10 out of my culture mostly. the half I could fathom was interesting (6 years, 3 months ago)

Kits @ #26: Indigo is not a French word - crois moi je parle français!!!! It might be used but it's pretty rare... (6 years, 3 months ago)

Seb @ #15284: Cool (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #11251: 0/10 from America. Wow Just Wow. (6 years, 3 months ago)

numpty @ #518: Why are 'Groups' incorrect (6 years, 3 months ago)

e @ #15286: Again too much sport in one grid (Sunwolves, Habana, plus an entire sport group): try to mix topics up a bit. The rugby group enforced "club" so rejected my "team". (6 years, 3 months ago)

e @ #15289: Too much sport in one grid -- variety is more fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

e @ #15285: Pretty good. "Iron" and "trotters" had me thinking pig! (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15286: 1/10 didn't like this one, not only out of my cultural range, but I think the answer says the capital of Cuba is from South Africa? (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15290: 3/10 A thematic grid, not in my worldview, might be yours (Association Football---Im American) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15289: Second time today that I've seen the same grid repeated. Strange. No football knowledge required to find two of the groups. Just click on the countries (it's spelt Chile by the way) and then the foreign-sounding names. 2/10 (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15283: @urbanbaboon,JamesD: Thanks for the tips. I did write at least half a dozen separated words but it seemed difficult to pin down the idea without using specific phrases so I thought I'd try to preempt the quibblers this time. Personally, I don't write anything in the link boxes. I just look at the explanation to see if it coincides with my guess. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15261: Oh you did me good and proper with the boards. How did I not see that?? Cheers, good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15279: 5/10 Easy to group if you look at the word structure. Captain Underpants was a Dreamworks film also. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15283: 10/10 Thematic game, in which I'm subject acquainted. To James point, say you have a tough time describing the connection, put down everything you think, even if its 4 or 5 words, you just need 1 to click. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2526: 10/10 Decent, nothing too off, nothing too special (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #3000: 0/10 This one's a stumper (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15283: Not unreasonable knowledge, given the forum. When struggling to find the connection keywords, try using very short strings of just a few letters. Most people who don't know won't put anything, and you won't get complaints if people got marked as correct despite not knowing. Good grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15279: Are saling and skining popular pastimes in Suriname? (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1821: 7/10 The Jest line could use elaboration, otherwise fun (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1610: 10/10. Harder than most I've cleared. Took 2:55. A solid, but makeable challenge (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1629: 10/10...Boardgamers has a point. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1690: 10/10 a fun easy one (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1705: 7/10..a touch colloquial. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1747: 10/10 Good Grid, esp for an easy game. (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7062: 6/10 solid grid. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15285: Light 'n' easy. Nice crossovers. Wouldn't have noticed the slip. (6 years, 3 months ago)

JamesD @ #15277: Plot twist: in this dialect, G-U-L-L-E-D is pronounced pərpəl. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15285: Whoops! Cheers for pointing it out. Shouldn't change the puzzle too much though. Let's hope there aren't too many fans out there to vote me down :-) (6 years, 3 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #15285: Scunthorpe not Scarborough! (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15260: Fun one, and always nice to get 10/10. Cheers (6 years, 3 months ago)

Andy P @ #15266: Bit too easy, but not not fun. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15283: Yet another theme from Orlando. Some specific knowledge required for a change but I hope the SF fans will like it. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15273: Couldn't sort it out as I'm not well up on footballers and the link for the dogs/places group is dodgy as "dalmatian" is an adjective rather than a place. I seem to be finding lots to quibble about among the latest grids. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15281: Perfectly nice conception. Suffers a bit from being grid #15281 not #281: most if not all of these are old friends :=} (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15282: Matte can be any colour as long as it's not shiny and evergreen can be any plant that doesn't shed its leaves. Sorted it out anyway. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15282: What does Sirius have to do with- oh, right... The writing group seemed disconnected from the other . Otherwise a very good Sunday morning grid (6 years, 3 months ago)

Duster @ #7062: good. Ivy league haircuts threw me grrr. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15281: Not bad. Lots of names and an unfamiliar kind of duck but managed a 7. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15279: The same grid again? With the same errors too. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Will @ #15280: Good (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15280: Didn't notice any crossovers so easy to sort out despite careless spelling. (6 years, 3 months ago)

Orlando @ #15277: 7/10. Missed the song link but guessed the homophones despite the non-standard English. Online dictionaries have phonetic transcriptions in case you ever need to check. (ɡəʊld and ɡʌld) (6 years, 3 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2621: 6/10...this is a better board than some of the comments let on. Some nice tricks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #4069: 10/10 Strong Board, enough crossovers to be a challenge. Nice. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #357: 4/10 all on back end. The words as a whole camouflage well. Good board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2227: 7/10, didn't take palindrome for some reason. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15277: 6/10 a fair grid to play. tough to ace for sure (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dude @ #14245: "Words that are the same backwards" was not allowed! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dude @ #14245: "Words that are the same backwards" was not allowed! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #8618: 7/10 found a very clever one. Very Good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2237: 7/10 solid wall...ranks not taken without further explanation (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #11410: 3/10 tough and specialized. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2531: 3/10...a UK board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

LB @ #15265: Didn't accept 'tele' (6 years, 4 months ago)

LB @ #15266: Also rejected leg coverings (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15277: as below - in what dialect is gulled pronounced as gold? New one on me (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15277: Gulled? (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15274: Nothing wrong with a stylish and elegant easy grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #15277: GULLED? REALLY? (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #12622: 5/10. I either spelled onomatopoeia wrong or it didn't take. Much better than the comments let on. No one's perfect, but there's a bunch of nits being picked. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dude @ #14281: Whale not accepted but can follow each word! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15273: 5/10. I see the argument for diversity. But as I think this is a first time effort...or at least a new creator, it's a solid outing. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15274: 10/10 Straightforward Easy Game. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15270: I say, jolly well done. Users can choose whether or not they want to do a grid that's clearly marked as 'Easy' - or indeed whether they will never bother with a 'Fiendish'. This is a quality grid, and anyone who is upset it's not harder had no place clicking on a link that was labelled otherwise. (6 years, 4 months ago)

monocep @ #12622: Fun grid, I'd ignore the other comments. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15267: Liked this one. "Tin" in the tin group nearly threw me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15273: If you have one group that's based on a specific area of knowledge (e.g. football, dogs), it's less fair to have another based on the same area. It means that someone who doesn't know about that field can never sort out the last two groups. I found half of this easy, the other half pointlessly impossible. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15260: Good one. Very tricky. Didn't notice the "door" group until it lined up at the end. Then the link was clear. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15260: I had fun in the final 8 with the shadow group: point to point, door to door, mouth to mouth, coast to coast. Very clever and well-executed. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #6: 2/10 Rough board. I can appreciate the efforts here regardless (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15248: 4/10. Everything I missed I felt was fair. Nice mix of topics. could see how the Wheaton line might give some pause. My ease with that was countered with my difficulty with the Henry line (there are cultural differences in players and creators). Solid board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15259: 4/10 two exceptionally clever lines. nicely done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15263: 7/10. Thanks for the board. Tip: when putting in words the program allows for cutting a word short. Especially with plurals-if one could accept currency or currencies, you can enter currenc, and both will credit. Nice board, hope you make more. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15265: 7/10...the phone line wouldn't accept a four letter answer.. There's an art to putting in acceptable answers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15267: 10/10..this morning's new ones are making me feel good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15268: 10/10 Easy, but this game need some sincere easy one for balance. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15270: 7/10...Need more specific answer on Wolverine line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15272: 10/10 Clear and enjoyable (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam @ #15260: Great grid the band names made singular was a nice touch. Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam @ #4227: Apart from not accepting VW I was happy as Larry. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

gg @ #15266: I like it, maybe relax the descriptions, it rejected "leg clothes" (6 years, 4 months ago)

BadAL @ #8298: VERY HARD (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam @ #12056: Please leave One Direction out of Only Connect. Only joking had me stumped. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam @ #15267: Tin Tin damn and blast! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam @ #2297: Loved the berries. Completely had me stumped. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam @ #3712: Bloody difficult but great grid. Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

BadAL @ #15266: I like it (6 years, 4 months ago)

dmdmg @ #15268: some dont work (6 years, 4 months ago)

BadAL @ #15272: Very good (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15268: 5/10, two groups really easy to sort out, and two not so straightforward for someone with zero interest in superhero films. Cheers though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15270: Well, I guess it's nice to have a 10/10 in 30 seconds every now and then to make up for the harder grids, but it would have benefitted greatly from some crossovers. Didn't see a single one here. Cheers though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dude @ #14282: Biblical men's names not allowed! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15267: Yeah pretty easy but I actually missed one connection, the Tin one. The reduplication confused me. Haha. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Vixen @ #15267: Easy, but very nice. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15262: Nice one. Liked the WD link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15244: Liked the "compass" link. Not so keen on the change-to-any-letter-you-choose kind of connection. Came across beans, packet, dumper and Mersey the other day. The link required a letter to be changed, but to the same letter in each case. That felt like a stronger link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #2748: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mmister Tom @ #15262: ...Clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #566: Sorry, never played poker. Great grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #7712: Fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #15262: Er.... (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15261: Nice one. Simple enough so long as you're familiar with the Piper group (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15262: An excellent themed grid, thank you for setting. I sorted out the groups but didn't know the specific connections for two of the sets. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15258: Enjoyable and speedy - solved in 19s, though I was lucky to evade the couple of crossovers. Love the explanations :) (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15233: Tough one. 2/10 for me after only finding the signals group, though I should have identified a couple more. Agree that 'the 3' feels a little tenuous. The Lincoln connection is clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15237: Fast and fun, thanks Orlando (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15216: Welcome back! This was a fine challenge. Time ran out while I was hunting a shadow group of English cricketers. Missed the Bradshaw connection and kicked myself for not getting the Miller group (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15261: 10/10...75% Easy, 25% not so much. Fun to play though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14766: 5/10 oooh its not half... (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #13155: 7/10 missed the pop culture one. Solid game. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15253: 7/10 the pluralization issue kept me back (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coliy @ #15259: Good fun hide (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15255: 7/10 from the inclusion of C&S on the one line i knew the grouping, but was curious which faith background these came from. Raised Catholic, I've learned this by differing names. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coliy @ #3: Tough grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coliy @ #12745: Great grid fun connections (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coliy @ #15235: Good crossovers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coliy @ #15247: Good fun some great connections (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coliy @ #15250: Great grid should accept beverages (6 years, 4 months ago)

SimperingSam @ #15258: This is amazing! I'm going to show my mum too! I love ladimals (6 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #15253: Same. But frustrating for Bruce to be wrong. (6 years, 4 months ago)

SimperingSam @ #15255: Mum loved it! Got to go bed now tho. :( (6 years, 4 months ago)

SimperingSam @ #15255: Mum loved it! Got to go bed now tho. :( (6 years, 4 months ago)

SimperingSam @ #15255: Nice! That was pretty good actually. Would show my mum. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bacon Butty @ #15253: I got groups in 27 seconds but BRUCE showed as incorrect (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15250: Really fun, with nothing esoteric. Proud I remembered what Squash is since we don't have that over here. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15248: Another one with 2great lines and 2 not so (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15253: v easy but Pevensie should be acceptable for Narnia kids (6 years, 4 months ago)

PacmanPaul @ #15249: Thanks for feedback. Creating grids is tougher than it looks! Respect and gratitude to all Puzzgrid setters. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dh @ #15248: Sorry to spoil but this grid is bad (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dh @ #15246: Very good. Continue. Very challenging (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jimbo @ #2621: Rubbish grid anagrams and misspellings in one wall one or other is ok but not both and who knows about curling? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #15253: Bruce showed up as incorrect for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15246: Nice to see an original.idea (6 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #15247: Didn't accept collective nouns (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15252: Simple enough. Another outing for the NATO alphabet. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15253: Very easy one. Could see only one crossover. (6 years, 4 months ago)

LB @ #15253: Bruce not accepted :( (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15253: Quick and easy then didn’t know the wardrobe one (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15247: 10/10 a bit shocked. The Will line, I put in "Boy Bands" and got credit. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15240: 3/10. Rarely do I feel more confused after I see the answers than before. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #9246: 5/10 A tricky one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15252: As a theme it's been done but Paris made this work very well indeed! (6 years, 4 months ago)

ChrisRossRossChris @ #15247: I agree about the collective nouns point. Otherwise, not bad. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1620: 7/10 fun...straightforward... (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15249: 4/10..One line particularly tough for an American. But nice. (6 years, 4 months ago)

anonymous @ #15253: Very good but for some reason bruce wasn't accepted? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15253: For some reason "Bruce" wasn't accepted as an answer for the Bruce group. Other than that, a simple fun grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15251: My severe lack of knowledge about sport made this almost impossible after identifying the non-sport group. The other three connections feel a bit too similar for a non-sporty person like me. I'm guessing others will get more out of it though. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15252: Easy but fun. I awarded myself full marks as "NATO" wasn't accepted as a correct answer for the relevant group, but other than that a well constructed grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15250: I really enjoyed this grid, some lovely crossovers. Particularly liked the "Knees" group connection! Thanks very much! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15249: The "Hyde Park" group connection feels a little forced, but other than that an enjoyable and challenging grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #15246: Nice idea and accessible without special knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15246: Why is everyone voting this low? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15230: A tough grid, I managed two groups quite quickly but couldn't separate the other two. An enjoyable challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15231: Tough but enjoyable. I spotted three of the connections, but didn't manage to sort them in time. I was also scuppered by Katy (if you will). Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15229: @Orlando: I take your point on the faint praise - never intended to be read like that, but I can see how it might grate. I'll aim to avoid phrases like that in future :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15248: a well constructed grid, but like lebamski says, be careful with spelling and breadth of acceptable answers. Didn't accept west-end shows and not quite sure of the wording of the Beatrice group (not that I saw the connection anyway!). (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15247: good fun grid... my quibble is that it didn't accept collective nouns, but i gave myself the point ;-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15235: Easy, but very well constructed. I enjoyed this one. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15239: Great fun, and well put together again. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15236: Simple but effective. Good fun. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15238: Very easy, but very well put together. I enjoyed this grid for what it offered - and I hope your kids are enjoying them too! Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15241: Simple but good fun. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15248: A fun grid, just take care with spelling and typos. Very enjoyable, thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15246: Another enjoyable grid pitched nicely to make it challenging enough. I look forward to seeing your future grids. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15247: Simple and effective with enough crossovers to add a little more challenge. Very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15246: Yay! Another 10. The backwards words was a nice touch. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15247: Nice to get 10 for a change. The collective nouns made me think for a bit. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Twiki @ #15227: Grr, can't believe I missed the directions. Cracking grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15247: Excellent again, just one minor quibble and that would be that I've never heard of Brad in the context of this group, and as a result I only got 7/10. Still gave you 5 stars though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15246: This was excellent, one of the best ones I've done recently. Pretty straightforward, all things considered, but still needed some thinking. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15244: Good grid colours cheered me up (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15229: @Lebamski: In my experience (cryptic crossword blogs), sites like this one tend to be insult-free and well mannered although an element of snootiness does creep in. But as you're moderating anyway, could you please do something about faint praise. Comments like "nice try though" can be intensely annoying. Viva el quizzing! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15244: Yep another 6/10 here. I suspect that will be the "mode" score. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15176: Liked this, tho missed the Oz slang connection. Great crossovers... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #48: Great stuff (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #1942: I am a super hero too! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #15232: Programming- fair enough. Hard grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #1763: 5/10 a solid but forgotten grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15245: 5/10 Mostly well done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15244: Simple but effective. Good fun. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15245: A shame about the "Sit"/"It" error, as otherwise this is an enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

bmd34 @ #1555: Should accept Holiday if the answer is Holiday. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15245: shouldn't sit be it? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15229: @Orlando and @Mister Tom: Apologies if my reply came across as harsh, it wasn't intended in that way. In all honesty, my comment was driven by the fact that there are so many corners of the internet where people take pleasure in throwing insults and snooty comments at each other, and I would hate it if this site went in that direction. I don't think it is at the moment, but I much prefer to leave positive feedback about a grid (which is possible for most of them) than comment on why I think it fails. Anyway, let's keep the great quizzing going! :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15244: 6/10 clever in its simplicity. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15232: 2 lines easy for me 2 lines impossible (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15233: Struggled only the rubicon one for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15241: School line was good (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15229: I'd be surprised if you'd caused any offence. Why assume that setters are such sensitive souls? I thought Lebamski's "mean-spirited" was rather harsh. Hence the tongue-in-cheek comment below. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Vixen @ #15244: Great grid, easy, but very enjoyable. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15237: @Mister Tom. Nice idea. I could've blamed it on divine intervention if any solvers complained. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15216: Tough but very much on the fair side of it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15229: "Solutionally challenged" LOL. Apologies if bluntness offends: I do try to give constructive criticism, but not sure what one can say here beyond "check through to make sure you don't do that again". 4stars sufggests most people liked it anyway (or just didnt notice). (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15228: No worries. I would have been sincerely flattered... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15237: Surprised you didn't include "Diego" in the Charlie group :=) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15239: Will have to get my eldest to have a go... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15238: Performs its intended function.... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15237: Good grid I got 6/10 but got distracted after finding two Bruces and three Nevises (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15233: The connections were too obscure for me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15238: There's nothing wrong with an easy grid! One or two stars for difficulty is fine. Quality is high, difficulty is low - and that's OK. If you don't like easy grids, don't play the grids marked "easy" :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15241: Well, I enjoyed it! I had not heard of a pinball sweet, but I learned something new. Thanks, xoAlto. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #15212: I'm from Berkshire and "One" and "won" are definitively homophones. Maybe you're from Slough. Where the friendly bombs may fall. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #11377: 6/10. A sports line could be more than one sport. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15237: 6/10 could've been full 10, didn't like my word for the simple line, and i missed the nationality on another. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15238: 10/10..As far as difficulty I have a hard time giving lower than a 3. Anything worse would seem insincere, but this is the authors intent, and I think these are simple grids executed well where the 2 rating is not meant as denigration (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #3188: Loved this one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #98: Fun grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #7062: Typo with fish. Silly me. Great grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #8403: Great. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #1396: Great thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #8355: Difficult. Fun though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #8355: Difficult. Fun though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #6140: Great thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

xoAlto @ #14733: I did not see any red herrings so completed this very quickly! I, too, was sad that my answer "Apple" was incorrect though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15240: A strange one. I didn't understand the Africa link if there was one, and ditto the theories. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15200: purple has a rhyme too... (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15238: Yeah, I think it is general interest; just very easy. And maybe the connections are too broad, but they're not so broad that they defy a definitive grouping. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15241: shame the squeeze line didn't accept synonyms (almost synonyms). If grids are not of general interest, you can opt for that on the submit page. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15236: Lovely. Need more easy grids like this to rebuild my confidence after staring blankly at RossChris craziness. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15235: Beautiful easy grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

dom @ #15240: ??? (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15233: I managed it, though there was ample guesswork. I'm skeptical of "the 3" as an item in that group; seems too arbitrary. "The rubicon" and "Hexadecimal" were my ways in, and the "Candles" herring stopped me for a long time until I figured out was "Sulfur" was about. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15233: (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15241: 6/10..the squeeze line is one of those answers that's difficult to accurately represent all possibilities of answer. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15239: 7/10...nothing new to report. did get the "R" line wrong (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15239: We've got 1,2,3,4,5 senses working overtime here! The kids are alright, we're loving this series of grids xoAlto. Thank you again. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jon @ #15230: Again, right up my street (6 years, 4 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15241: Just trying to create some grids for my young kids. Actually in this case, this one is possibly harder the more trivia you know! (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #15186: Original and entertaining with good explanations too. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15239: Spoiler - Sorry, if I could edit, the "b-" connection can also be "four letter words beginning with the letter r"!!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Big_kid @ #15239: ...and for adults like me who struggle with the hard and above!!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15239: Just trying to create some grids for my young kids. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15238: A lovely grid for the young 'uns, general interest is not exclusively for adults. Mine will love this, glad you put it on the main board. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15233: The Lincoln connection was the only one I got! ;-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15238: You probably shouldn't have said it was general interest. I suppose it is of general interest to young kids though! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15231: found this reasonably easy (Katy was a stumbling block) but managed 10 by process of elimination. Probably easier because I used steve and texas in a recent grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

xoAlto @ #15238: Just trying to create some grids for my young kids. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15228: I initially dismissed the Ox connection as Mister Tom used it a couple of grids ago! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15227: 10/10 - fairly straightfoward. Thank you! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15218: Very well constructed grid... missed the Ox connection (kicking myself) and struggled with the finding the 4th in the Hector group... only heard of 'cowed' in this context. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15232: Stumbled to a 7/10 here, the Heap group beat me. Great grid, one where I actually knew more than I thought! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ezra @ #11853: I've quickly come to realise that it's not worth doing any grids by Jeff G because his "add a letter/word to make..." categories are just too tenuous. I mean....add Alpha OR Alfa? What a dickhead! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15228: Not unless it can be followed by "ford", JPEN. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15216: 3/10 A challenging grid with lots to ponder. Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15216: 4/10 but it should have been 5 really. Too many things I've never heard of before in the Michelin group led me to not guess what my first instinct was. Cheers though, a fun mix of knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JPen @ #15221: Possibilities were varied, but it does make sense once you can get the easy ones out of the way, using logic. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JPen @ #15228: Ox was a massive stretch in that category. Might as well just put any letter and say it fits. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15221: 0/10...Too many possibilities. But I appreciate the effort (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15235: 10/10 liked the overlaps. Welcome fellow American puzzle maker. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15236: 10/10 straightforward. Fine game (6 years, 4 months ago)

Vexillologist @ #15221: My kind of wall! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jo @ #15174: clever grid, thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #15236: Simple but fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15236: Another nice one. Didn't get a 10 this time due to ignorance of Disney characters. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15235: Liked this. It was pitched as easy by the setter and it does what it says on the tin quite nicely. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15236: Really good again and enjoyably straightforward, but definitely less so than your other grid that I just did. Took me much longer here. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15235: Some good overlaps between subjects and diversity of knowledge, but it was just a bit easy. Scored 10/10 in 23 seconds. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela @ #14682: Yes (6 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela @ #14674: Far too easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela @ #14667: None followed by a nun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #2296: Yay (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #2297: Oh berries!!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #3712: Didn’t know SI units...still had fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #186: Fun thank you (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #184: Well I liked it (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #583: Fun thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #15190: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #15190: Great fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #15212: Fun thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #15232: Too hard but still great fun thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ruth @ #15219: Good fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15232: bonehead: maybe I wrote "subatomic particles" and "subatomic" did the trick. Can't remember. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15229: Right, JonBob. That's just about the only rule there is for this puzzle format, which would be pointless without it. And mean Mister Tom should know that the PC term "solutionally challenged" is more acceptable these days. I notice, by the way that this grid is maintaining a four-star rating. Make what you will of that. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15229: @Bob it's common for a single item to fit into multiple groups, yes, but there must be only one possible way to split all 16 items into four groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #15229: Interchangeable answers Orlando, that's the whole point of it i thought (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15232: it didn't accept particles from me - what's Orlando got that I haven't? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #15233: A cleaver grid. I tip my hat to anyone who can get the Lincoln connection though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15231: Very pleasant grid - nice one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15225: Pretty sure this is a specific teaching grid, rather than a public one. If you know Much Ado About Nothing, you'll probably be okay, otherwise steer clear! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15229: A fine grid which would have been more enjoyable if the issue raised by Orlando had been fixed. To describe the grid as not valid feels unnecessarily mean-spirited, however. Some constructive criticism would be far more useful to help improve future grids. Overall, a nice attempt. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15232: Very specific knowledge needed to have a chance at this, but well structured. A nice attempt, thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15231: 3/10 a tough one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15225: "Is this grid of general interest?" (6 years, 4 months ago)

schrodinger @ #15231: Is Katy a well known city? I was never putting Katy in my attempts at Texas, made it really frustrating. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15232: Subatomic grids? Whatever. It accepted "particles". The "heap" line seemed rather esoteric compared to the other links. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Roger Burns @ #15232: One of the better grids I have played! (6 years, 4 months ago)

SeJuis @ #15227: Cheers, Orlando! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15228: Plagiarist? A coincidence, surely. Certain links are bound to be repeated and I can't remember seeing a similar grid. Anyway, it's supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15228: Plagiarist 😋 Pennies took a while to drop though (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15229: 1Star = as stated below not a valid grid. A shamebecUse othi g wrong with the ideas, especially Charles (6 years, 4 months ago)

Kvetcher @ #15176: Why was "bitch" not an acceptable answer?! XD Quite fun, though the Aussie slang answers only left me with more questions... Top Hole?! :O (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15229: 10/10. Fan of the Wade line. Straightforward and solid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Quit Whining @ #15186: Loved it! Great fun! :) Also spurred a great conversation on bra cup sizes. Well done! XD (6 years, 4 months ago)

Quit Whining @ #15187: It's free! ;) Well I enjoyed this anyway, even if I did only get a 4/10. I'm not so insecure as to become upset when I don't ace a free online game... ;) Nick692 - more grids, please! Enjoyed it. :) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15228: Lebamski: Well, that was supposed to be the tricky bit. Thanks for the comment. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15228: Nice one. Scored 5/10 after not being able to sort out the names, nor identify the Ox group. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15229: Managed to sort out two groups after lots of clicking and scored 6. Might have been 10 if it weren't for the multiple solutions. Pontoon/bridge, whist/bridge and tango/waltz are all interchangeable. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15212: A great fun grid - "eat" wasn't accepted as an answer for the "Ate" group, but other than that a fine challenge. As someone who has come a cropper with using homophones in grids in the past, I think conversations over whether something is/isn't a homophone in certain accents aren't particularly helpful or positive. If you didn't spot it this time because of that, just chalk it up as a minor flaw, leave some constructive feedback and move on. Anyway, thanks very much Stan Lee - very enjoyable! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15227: Nice one. Just missed the "beans" link. 7/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15228: Some nice ideas. "Ox" feels as though it doesn't quite fit with others in that group in terms of how it relates to the connection. A great attempt. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15216: You're back! Yay! 6/10... tricky herrings meant I didn't find all the groups in time, but as soon as I saw the York group, managed the connections. A fine grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15228: No theme for a change. In case anyone is tempted to tell me that the monarchs' names can also be linked to the common surname in this grid, I'll just say that those people are pretty obscure compared to the ones I chose. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15212: good grid loved Won, but didn't accept eating in foreign (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15221: Not so keen myself. Apart from the EFTA link (which is hard enough), who'd know,or even think of the obscure links needed to resolve this grid? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15216: Very tricky, especially if, like me you've never watched the series in question or heard of three of the "glass" group. 3/10. Liked the "fun" link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15219: Agree with comments below. NSKR (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15219: Nice work, I agree with the other comments, sometimes the simplest ones are the best. Like your style Mr Stan Lee. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15143: Not sure why this grid specifically has provoked so much debate. It was quite straightforward but with enough challenge here and there to make it fun. Thanks very much Grugen! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15110: The idea is great, but it loses something in the execution. Having duplicate answers is poor form (although I understand why they are there after seeing the connections). I'd be very interested to see any future grids you come up with, as you've got an interesting approach which just needs fine tuning. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15114: Some good ideas here, but the execution feels too vague to be enjoyable. A nice try. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15219: Simple but effective. Well thought out with some fine crossovers. Very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15218: I'm occasionally tempted to leave a simple group in plain sight, but it feels like a betrayal of trust.... (6 years, 4 months ago)

zz742d @ #15221: Great one (6 years, 4 months ago)

Michael H. @ #15221: Had great fun with this. Enjoy the nation walls. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15218: Solid work, once again. Nice grid. I'm coming to expect the shadow groups now... (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15219: So nice to see an elegant, well-thought-out, pleasant grid. We seem to be seeing so many that sacrifice any hint of quality in order to earn a Fiendish rating. Very nice work. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #2297: Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #3712: Loved that Pulp Function did not include Travolta or Jackson. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15212: Ate in different languages should be sufficient to be accepted. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15219: I'd like to echo the comments below. Pretty easy, but it was fun, and clever in equal measure. I also like the morale boost from scoring 10/10. Cheers mate. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15219: Easy but fun. Only mee was obscure but that didn't matter by the time i got to it. (sounds like awful grammar: "Only me was obscure ...!". (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15212: Nice and easy. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15212: Fun one to finish the day on. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15213: Tough but fair.Neverseen it sadly (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15213: Too hard to be enjoyable for me, but maybe I was just being stupid. 2/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15212: Liked this. No expertise needed but tricky nonetheless. And doable! So many grids get rated as hard or fiendish. It's nice to see a solid medium -level one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

mumpty @ #223: why when you answer kings & queen is it incorrect, when its correct (6 years, 4 months ago)

. @ #15205: no fun at all (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15216: Bradshaw guide good one 4 out of ten for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15211: 3 lines good and doable the energy one no chance (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15213: London Irish meant hidden words but couldn’t find 4 flowers 1line 2 answers is best I could do. Hard one ? I think (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15188: Ingenious, I spotted all four connections but didn't manage all the groups in time. Very well constructed with some fantastic crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15211: Very tough, this one stumped me. Some nice ideas for connections. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jon @ #15177: Right up my street (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15212: Very nice, classic grid. And those homophones are fine, because (1) they don't have to perfect in all accents, and (won) they're pronounced the same in standard BBC English, for instance by Victoria Coren-Mitchell. (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #14596: The "fever" red herrings work well. The gymnastics stuff is really too obscure though: I can't imagine 1 person in 10 knowing that "flyaway" and "pike" are gym moves. (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15200: Not bad. "Silver" does have a rhyme in the OED so you need to specify which dictionary you are using. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15207: In retrospect, it wasn't all that different to 15206. (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15212: "One" and "won" are not homophones in Berkshire at least. "One" rhymes with "gone", while "won" rhymes with "gun". (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15205: "Is this grid of general interest?" (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #15207: Tricky and fun, the Bailey line tripped me up though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15207: Excellent crossovers and red herrings. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15208: thoroughly bamboozled by this one! good grid though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ezra @ #909: With any grid of only 16 single names it is probably possible to offer several other solutions with a variety of categories....so these types of grid are the worst ones on here. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15208: @picky: Apologies, I should have double checked the accepted answers. Award yourself an extra point(s) as necessary :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

picky @ #15208: didn't accept gorillaz (no cap) :( love the pop culture q's tho. cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Seetrus @ #15205: Very very hard but easy once you know the theme! which i didn't until afterward. topical. lots of crossovers!!!!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15199: A big fat zero for me too. One for the buffs. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15187: 4/10 I usually dismiss the culturally British lines as non-bothersome because i'm an American. So I thought this was fine. On the 3 other lines I knew 3 or 4 of each clue. There should be a better place (and a place to discuss the "philosophy of Wall-building" Mr. Nick, I'm sorry it's your wall. (I include my twitter handle on all comments so if someone wants to talk...we can) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15186: 4/10 got 3 out of 4 on three lines before the time (worth nothing). I genuinely thought it said Gargantuan Beasts....Clever as hell, and twice as hard. Good Challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #368: 10/10 Nice fun to play board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15199: 0/10, brutal, not crazy unreasonable, seems knowable but not all at once, but too much for one board. Maybe one or 2 lines like this would be better. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14563: 5/10 good one all around, challenging and fair (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15200: 3/10 agree. Stared blankly for quite a long time. But the answers fell in the "I could've gotten it" range. Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15200: 2/10 tough but fair. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matt @ #15193: I liked the sidekick line even though I didn’t get it (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15199: I think these would be fine for a first-round "what is the connection" group, but sorting 16 movies apart is just brutal. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jandrew @ #15198: Another one please! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15195: Ohhh nice line of thought, Urban. Might steal that idea off you at a later date.... But no, it wasn't deliberate, not in the slightest. Maybe you're too clever for this grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15194: Never used a microwave 0 for that . The other 3 no problem (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15195: 4 of 10, got sidetracked by something I know little about,pro wrestling, found Sting, Cane, & Rock in there, wondering if this was intentional? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15195: 2easy lines guessed the next 2 then messed up the answers .pretty good one (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15195: Yeah a fair point, maybe I was a bit slack in things accepted for that one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15195: iliad, troy should have been ok for one group I thought. (6 years, 4 months ago)

nick692 @ #15187: Wow I didn't expect such a detailed analysis of my wall! I appreciate your comments - it was my first attempt at creating my own wall so it's constructive to hear where I went wrong. I guess I was trying to overcompensate for two quite easy groups with my harder ones but obviously went a little overboard! I'll take your comments on board for my next one, cheers guys! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jon @ #15195: lovely (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15194: 7/10. Only knew "glass" from its group, so no chance on that one for me. The Popcorn group was a wonderful "aha" moment. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15191: A tough grid, some very specific knowledge needed to have a chance to spot some groups. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

JK @ #14948: Enjoyed this one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15190: Qualility lots of fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15159: A real challenge which stumped me. I picked up there was more than one "wordy" connection, but didn't get much further than that. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15195: Very tough, with some specific knowledge needed for a couple of groups. An enjoyable challenge though. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15195: Fair enough :) I just thought it was too good a connection to leave out, and was hoping people could work out it when it came down to it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15189: Not only a shadow group but practically a whole grid full of shadows. Like Orlando I was convinced there was a money group as well as the wedding anniversaries. This is the good kind of fiendish - thank you! (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #15164: Liked the explanations which made the grid more enjoyable. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15195: 4/10. Never heard the terms in the "snowman" line. "Hurricane" and "interesting" should've rung bells though. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15186: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jay @ #11993: Wouldn't accept "boy bands" which is annoying. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15194: Tough grid with some clues that made me think "ah yeah, I should have got that" and some that I've never heard of in this context - Bamboo, Celluloid, Gray, Logic, Popcorn. Cheers though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #15186: That was a good one. Got the point about half a minute in but couldn't sort them out. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15186: Liked this one. Caught on to the theme but didn't manage to sort out the groups. Got the links though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #64: feel Tabloids should be accepted for newspapers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Second That @ #14658: Andy P (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15176: ...Thinking about it, I did know "chook" and "dunny". Probably got more to do with not having slept at all in 36 hours. (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15176: Eerily enough I had no idea that the ACTUAL Australian slang line was Australian slang, but I (wrongly) guessed "Australian slang" for the fourth mystery line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15186: I’m having a drink after trying that one sussed the format but got lost (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15188: I liked it then hated it one line straight away then hit the wall then answered 3 well done (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15191: Nothing then got 2 lines the Juncker line no one will get (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15188: I liked the concept. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15177: The WW1 link might just as well be "countries". It's undeniably valid as there are no other countries in the grid. And JamesD, did you really write all that stuff in the link boxes? Can't say you didn't try. (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15190: Fun and easy! Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15189: Fair enough. I can see what you mean though: 13909 paradoxically requires you to obsess about Cricket to be an interesting grid. ( If you weren't tempted by any of Wood Root Bell Flower and Broad it falls apart rather fast.) and yes, silk is an an anniversary gift. (And yes, I had to look that one up.) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15164: Actually I had 3 ways into the dutch group #lowbrowknowledge :-) However it wasn't so clear how the dutch fitted in with the rest of the grid... I guess this felt like a test of differentiation between plausible sounding alternatives rather than working out what was going on. Which is different at least. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15189: I think of this style as the "shadow group" more than a simple density of red herrings - and the nice thing you've done here is to preserve the shadows right down to the last eight. It's certainly something you'll sometimes see on Only Connect, particularly from the quarter finals onward, but here you've done very well in picking a category that (my personal experience) we know to exist but we're not very clear on. Is there a silk anniversary? I tried 13909 on your recommendation, but feel you've missed the target there that you hit so splendidly here. The key there is to look for the way into your grid. Opening this one, it would make little sense to try to use "Silver" to crack it, as that could go so many ways: silver medal, the silver screen, Ag, anagram of sliver/livers, Long John Silver, the Lone Ranger's horse, Sylva, da Silva, Nate Silver... In 13909, I didn't even see your cricket shadow group, because each of the words could also fit into so many other categories that I skipped over them. Sure, "Pad" could be cricket, but it could equally be a launchpad or a touchpad or a footpad or an iPad or a million other things. It doesn't look like a way in, while "Tiptoe" and "Catholic" do. By the time a user gets to be pondering a cricket connection, it's already broken. Contrast that with this one - the shadow group members look like an easy way in, with not too many potential connections, but that's leading the user ever further astray. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15187: Well said, JamesD. I've thought, "Who on earth would know something like that?" far too often. NSKR: no specialist knowledge required. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15190: @Mister Tom. Same here. I never write anything in those boxes when solving. A click on the check button to find out if I guessed right is enough. After all, it's just a personal challenge. No one's keeping score. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15187: Just to expand on this point a little - try looking at it from a user's perspective. We come to your grid with nothing to go on apart from the name you're using, which often gives no useful information. If two groups jump right out, it's logical for us to be looking for the rest at the same kind of level. Now, you could say that's clever misdirection: you get us "digging in the wrong place". However, that only really stands for anything if your goal is to "win", that is, not to let anyone score 10/10. However, there's no real benefit there. Winning is easy. All the cards are in your hand. Just select groups like "anagrams of lobsters, by scientific name" or "West Ham left backs of the 1970s". "Paul Merton Teammates on Have I Got News For You, seasons 1-54". Great. That's like offering someone a game of chess, and only giving them pawns. The challenge when setting a grid is not to make people lose. That's the easiest thing in the world. The challenge is to come up with something creative and fun - a grid that people can solve and smile, or fail to solve and smile all the more when they see what they were missing. This grid could only really fall into one of those categories for someone from the southern UK, aged 21-35, with a strong interest in IT and computer science. For the vast majority of users here, it's 30 seconds pulling out two groups, two and a half minutes staring at a screen, and then no enlightenment when the answers are revealed. Huh. For an example of a very recent grid that makes a fun challenge without relying on anything too obscure, take a look at #15189, by Mister To. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15192: Lazy gridding. Should try harder. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15192: Yah. This tried a bit too hard to be a bit too hard. A shame becaiuse the heliotrope group was very clever (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15192: Never heard of men in this context. A very tough grid for me. Not sure, however, that Fred works... shouldn't it have been Red. And Ings should be Ing as that word has no plural, i.e. the part of the sea visible between shore and horizon. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister To @ #15189: *blushes* pleased people enjoyed it. IMO good grids can differ: the odd obscurity is ok as a "knowledge bonus" especially if it allows a group to be simply identified- and the show itself is fond of the odd unguessable trivia group (last series walls had the Octonauts and I'm a celebrity winners in!) But I too tend to prioritise herring density for walls, and anniversary gifts just kept giving :-) If you liked this, 13909 is of similar ilk. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15190: Fun and well structured. Sure, it's not hard, but let's get the stars for quality instead of impossibility. Slight issue with what it accepts in the free text explanations, but that's not the main thing. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15189: Absolutely agree, fantastic grid. In addition to the comments already made by my esteemed colleagues, I'd just like to highlight how this is a challenging and interesting grid precisely because it doesn't rely on any obscure or questionable facts. That makes it much more fair, and much more fun. I very rarely rate 5 stars for quality, just so I can pull it out for this kind of thing. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15190: Nice. Tough to start but Straightforward once you get the theme. I rarely bother to check the connections if I know I've worked them out! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15190: It's often hard to predict what solvers might write." Start" and "begin" as well as "rhyme" and "rhyming" were among the keywords. Should've thought of "first". (6 years, 4 months ago)

macabaret @ #15190: For the group containing Mumbo, you should let "first letter changed" be a valid answer, since it also applies and it doesn't negate the rhyming rule. But nice grid anyway! Good idea. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15190: I can't remember if I did the first grid or not, but I liked it. It was hard to predict what you wanted us to write for the connections though and as such I scored 7/10 when it was really 10. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15189: Agree with below comments, I was convinced wedding gifts would be a connection here, but I guess that was a deliberate decoy theme running through the grid. Very clever. I scored 5/10 personally. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15184: Rather obscure knowledge required for this one. 0/10. Deserves a fiendish rating. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15189: Fantastic grid, really enjoyed it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15189: Lost among the fish again. Kept looking for wedding anniversaries and money-related terms. Liked the "back" link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15190: Apologies to any regular solvers who experienced a feeling of deja vu with this grid. It's one I made earlier with a new line that completes the theme replacing an old one that didn't. The new, fairly obvious "mumbo" line and another tweak should make solving easier. The original grid got rated as hard, which wasn't my intention. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #4582: Trivial to resolve and one group is incorrectly described. Otherwise, not bad (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15188: Another hard one. Spotted three of the groups but couldn't put them together. "The Beast" as a song was a particularly confusing fish. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15186: Clever concept but tricky, I sorted them into too many groups of three I think. Scored 5/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15188: A clever concept but it was very tough. I scored 1/10 after it didn't accept "fables" for the, um, fables. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15187: Came to make the same comment as JamesD. Scored 4/10 and I imagine most people will as well. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #3454: Calryd, you might have a point with mercury, but the others were clearly named after the planets, not after the gods. You might just as well say that americium is named after Amerigo Vespucci... (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15188: Rather harsh on the words it accepts, but a nice concept and well executed. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2507: 7/10 Far better than the comments let on. Enjoyable (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15187: Two of these groups are very easy, but the other two require some very specialist knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15185: All but the Amy’s pretty good (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15185: I'm really kicking myself for missing a couple of these connections. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #4582: Completed it -even he harry potter words (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #5633: couldnt get the bill-good puzzle (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #4155: Didnt know the diamond cuts (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #238: Easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #2748: Really good liked tha itude (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #7712: strange connection a la trump/widsor (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #98: Really good afew red herrings (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #8403: very good (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15159: Once I sussed what type it was I did ok specially the one one (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15183: Another one I failed on ‘straight to google swans (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15184: Is it me? Or was that hard even looking at the answers only the football one I saw (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15181: "Council" is a somewhat acceptable link for the Atlantic group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #6140: Really good- cats and bohemian rhapsody neat idea (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #8355: couldnt see the pan words (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #1396: good couldnt see the word one (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #184: Fun, but couldnt get 'top' (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #583: I got it all right- must have been too easy but good for self confidence (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #15173: Knew a couple, neat idea connecting summer and winter olympics (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #2297: Very good=too hard for me could not get the right combination of tools to start me off (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #15177: Must really like the war poetry (6 years, 4 months ago)

MARS @ #15180: Really tricky- well thought out (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15177: SPOILERS BELOW I don't know quite what it takes to get marked as right on the connections. I opted for "WW1 combatant states", "poetic devices", "negatives highlighted in war poetry", and "supposed positive values of patriotic rhetoric", which got me zero. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15161: Not bad (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15165: Good (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15173: Scrambled 2 lines and 2 answers these types are usually headaches (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15177: This makes my last one look easy I got the poems line that’s it (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #15177: The countries link seems a little off, it's not incorrect as worded but one is definitely out of place, also there are a lot of other things which link those countries. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15177: 4/10..I don't think I ever was able to link all the 4 groups, and yet have no idea why those groups were together, until now. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #9179: 4/10 truly enjoyed 75% of the board (rest I think is culturally not my world) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5889: 5/10, need to allow similar answers, but nice, straightforward, uncomplicated. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5822: 0/10...just surnames...target is UK audience. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #3348: 7/10...took a full minute of nothing before the wheels turned. pretty nice. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5136: 7/10 ...clever concept, done pretty well. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15163: 7/10 Solid, fairly straightforward wall. I thought the Peterborough line was clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15176: Argument's good enough for a point Andy. You'll have to award yourself the bonus. A chook is a chicken in all its forms, Orlando. Barbecued or pecking around your esky when you're trying to cook the snags ;) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Reynardine @ #15176: 10/10 with 8s left on the clock. Spent a decent amount of time trying to figure out where the other meal to go with Dessert/Tea/Pudding was, until Yorkshire suddenly popped up from the Dales. Cheers! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15163: Got nowhere with this one. Just the currency link. Tough grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15176: Cheers, tricky one. Scored 4 after it didn't accept "argument" for the Gripe line but maybe that's just not specific enough. Nice one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15174: Nice concept for a round. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15176: Loved its variety. 10/10, all thanks to a beer advert! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15176: Just 4 due to red fish and ignorance of Australian slang. So a chook is a drumstick bearer. Er, what's a drumstick bearer? Are we talking barbecued chicken here? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15176: 10/10. Very satisfying grid. And learned a new word, 'Kvetch'. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15176: 4/10, stumbled into the runcible line, kept thinking Edward Lear (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15174: I like the way you can work it out by elimination. Nice grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15175: my thoughts exactly (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15176: never heard of grouse for that meaning, and I thought I knew a lot of Oz slang. Still, some excellent red herrings (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15174: Light 'n easy. Thanks for setting! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15169: Nothing wrong with an easier one now and again. Danke, Andy! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15174: Enjoyed this. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15175: Just two groups and two links. Never heard of a white list. Presumably contains all the the stuff that's not on the black one. Homophones of something in particular might have been better than just homophones. About 900 English words have a same-sounding partner so it seems a rather weakish link. Thanks for setting. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matt @ #15152: Auf wiedersehen was my favourite show still didn’t get it (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #3608: 10/10 solid simple & enjoyable (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15169: Ha well I speak fluent German, and it's my job to speak it, so I thought it was alright. (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15168: Ha! Well done! I failed fully - and none of them were Japanese food items. :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15172: one of the best of its kind- thank you! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15169: Extra half star for the explanations. Just don't show it to an actual German speaker ;-p (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #15143: Good board, thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #15148: Popular girls names.. Aria?? Cherry?? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #15152: Rubbish, waste of time. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15174: Easy one to start not bad (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joe @ #15174: Good (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15174: Simply fun. got caught on the crossovers 6/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #15174: Simple and fun, thanks!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #15161: Really sorry e. Just checked and thought I had all versions of sausage/sausages etc..... added but please give yourself the points. Maltesers, it seems I have misspelt my entire life :-) Avalanche MC: 1) they are specifically counties as administrative areas can include London Boroughs, local authority areas and many other anomalies throughout the 4 nations of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. 2) You seriously put confectionary brands? Maybe not strictly correct as they are products not brands but please give yourself the points 3) All the sausages were specifically sausages and not other forms of charcuterie or cold cuts Hope that clears everything up and sorry for the mistakes (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15174: Nice work, very satisfying and entertaining, cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15169: Nice one. Managed the groups but missed the sex act connection. Nothing to do with the accuracy of the homophones. Just didn't see it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #9172: 10/10 I feel good... (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #12645: Taxi, bus and co- are all the same "sense" of driver: maybe sth like Minnie (Driver, an actress) would be less obvious here. (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15161: Didn't accept "sausage" -- or did I mistype somehow? You also misspelled "Maltesers". (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15172: Loved this grid, nicely off beat and very enjoyable. (6 years, 4 months ago)

pseudonym @ #15164: Thanks for the tips. Maybe I should have gone with X-Men as the fourth category, though surely Hellfire is general knowledge even for normal people. The challenge here was certainly making it possible, not making it hard. You had, to my eye, exactly one way into the Dutch group. Miss that and you'd have to get very lucky. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15172: 10/10, but only because of the gimmick. I would have a poor chance of sorting out any of these connections in a grid where these groups were presented independently. Fun to see something different though! (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15169: 10/10! "Act" is quite a stretch, while the other three in that group are close enough I wouldn't complain. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15168: 7/10. Loved this. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15169: 7/10. I guess I pronounce Act wrong or differently. Fun board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15172: 4/10, if I had another minute, I would have got 'em all. Very Clever clues. I appreciate your effort to entertain me (and it will probably just be me) (6 years, 4 months ago)

. @ #9281: prick (6 years, 4 months ago)

Paddy @ #15165: Call house is where call girls are - I Googled it because I thought it odd too (6 years, 4 months ago)

Be26 @ #15165: I would object to Hen/Green/Halfway/Call because only three of those can be followed by "house". "House call" is a valid phrase but "call house" not so much. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15169: 7/10 with 19 seconds left. Missed the Sex connection, but the wall was nice and easy. Some of the more obscure items prevented it from becoming too easy. Good one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15169: Great Grid, would question if Cleopatra were either successful or popular (LOL), come in at ya (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15166: Too tough for me. And please note the instruction: please capitalise first letter (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15169: Enjoyable grid nonetheless, don't be so hard on yourself (6 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #15166: 4/10 - Tough grid but I now know some James Franco films (6 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #15165: Excellent grid! Can't believe the sea connection stumped me but managed to get the rest which was far trickier:-) Thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15169: Fun... almost missed the sex connection. Thanks for setting, as always. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15169: In retrospect, this is a bit easy with weak overlaps, but hopefully it's still fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15168: Lots of grids with obscure subject matter recently! Another 2/10 for me, only taking the Ouagadougou line (obviously). Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15164: Clever. Nice range of subject matter, found the Spike grid very obscure though. Scored 4/10, bit gutted I missed the Dutch group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15167: Very obscure subject matter. After seeing the answers, happy with my 2/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15166: Very tough, only got the Kane group and scored 2/10. Cheers though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15165: That was a super clever grid. I only scored 2/10 but I was being an idiot. Once the answers were revealed I thought i should have got a lot more. Cheers mate. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15165: good grid, did it with 15 secs left 10/10, deffers not easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

Cobalt @ #15134: Same, Andy P. 5/10 with the Knox group throwing me for a loop. Nice grid though. Loved the Barclays group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Just good @ #14644: Say no more (6 years, 4 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15148: 10/10 enjoyed but answers simpler than I was thinking - must try not to over complicate (6 years, 4 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15154: 10/10 liked this one - testing my British / Irish knowledge (6 years, 4 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15163: 5/10 but only got one line - lightbulb moment when the lines were revealed (6 years, 4 months ago)

Cobalt @ #15165: My bad, chaps. I definitely meant to change that. There's no way I'd rate this as easy. I doubt I'd get 10/10 and I drafted it... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15140: Fixed do it is then. That can only be C, right? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Iversen @ #15113: Magical! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Marvin @ #2264: 'Four words in the same language' isn't enough of a connection. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #15165: I agree. Not very easy at all. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15165: The one place I'd disagree with you, Cobalt, is in rating this as Very Easy. For my money, it's a Hard. Fine hard grid, though :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14608: 3/10 remarkable red herrings. I feel that I was beaten fair & square. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2294: 2/10 I feel this is one of those boards not being a Englishperson gives great disadvantage. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #280: enjoyably simple 10of10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #15162: Only got the names because mine's there, other than that agree with Andy P, vague connections, especially the "other word" line, that was pretty lame. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jon @ #15163: (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15161: 2/10, although it didn't accept "British administrative areas", "confectionary brands", and "processed meats and cold cuts". A nice, easy board. Not a huge fan of the crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15163: 5/10 Very hard board. I'd even say it's fiendish. Not a particular fan of the Peterborough line, but it is still a solid wall that I am happy quite satisfied with. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15163: Very clever, too clever for me apparently as I scored 3/10. Good grid though and nice mix of knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15162: Scored 0/10. Very obscure connections. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15161: Good one. Crossovers for every group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15161: found this very straightforward... only 3 crossovers that I spotted. A morale boost! :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14608: Despite no knowledge at all of one group, and limited of a couple others, there was enough there to make some progress. Really enjoyed the red herrings. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15140: @Orlando: In context it did work, which is how I managed it, but I think it's a stretch to require the relationship between two different groups in order to decode items. I understood what you were going for, anyway, so it's no big deal! FYI "do" is the first note in a diatonic scale, and "la" is the sixth. So in C Major, "do" is C and "la" is A, but in G Major, "do" is G and "la" is E. The alternative system, "fixed do," is indeed used but generally not in the UK or US. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15152: Another one too hard for me - I obviously don't have a broad enough general knowledge :( (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #15154: Surprised by the comments. 10/10, great grid, but thought it was pretty straightforward. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15151: Good concept, but mustache? And tools and music were too easy. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15154: 0/0: Too hard for me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15160: Too hard for me - too specialist. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15159: Like the odd word grid, but 4 have a word. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15159: Very tough - nothing liks (6 years, 4 months ago)

ted and cate @ #10608: good. difficult. cate doesnt like too music, but thats her sensibilities (6 years, 4 months ago)

ted and cate @ #13122: bat phone (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15159: I like the theme in general and am a bit gutted to have scored 0/10 there as I'm normally not bad at the wordy ones. Very tough when the words just seem completely unrelated and nothing clicks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

truecockney @ #15151: Should never do these when you get distracted! Sorry all! (6 years, 4 months ago)

hugo B @ #15155: another top classroom game (6 years, 4 months ago)

ed forish @ #15155: worst test (6 years, 4 months ago)

MillieMorrison420 @ #15155: UGH!!! ANOTHER STUPID PUZZGRID!!! I WOULD HAVE LESS TROUBLE SHAVING A KIWI (6 years, 4 months ago)

fred hobby @ #15155: That was shite (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15154: Fair play Orlando, a very Brit-centric grid I suppose. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15148: Got nowhere. Lost in this sea of red fish. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15154: Took one look at this and gave up. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15146: Tricky red fish but no specialist knowledge required, which makes this grid entertaining. Caught on to the groups at the start but kept clicking till the end. 6/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15151: Ingenious "head" line. Hard to spot. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15154: Never pegged you as a boyband/teen idol fan Andy P! ;-) A very well constructed grid - enjoyed it. 10/10 in 63s. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15152: 2/10... saw the venice group immediately, but the other groups somewhat obscure. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15151: Concur with Andy P on this... and scored the same! (6 years, 4 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #15140: Fun! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14886: 10/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #9162: 5/10..I don't think Quora belongs in that group as marked (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15151: Mixed thoughts on that one, two groups very readily gettable, two groups very tricky with debatable logic. Scored 4/10. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15140: JonBob. Don't know much about musical notation but dictionaries mention A and C in relation to la and do. Quibble with them. In any case, do follows two notes after la so, in the context of this grid, what else could they represent? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Felix @ #14608: Root canal fillings are more fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15143: @AvalancheMC This is a very interesting idea, and I’m intrigued that @JonBob disagrees. I’d be interested to see some examples of red herrings and groups that have those more specific traits. The boards I enjoy most are where you don’t have to use brute force but can use logic to fish out the red fish, but I’m not sure the only way to achieve this is when the true groups have an extra specific trait. For example I feel pleasurably smug when I’m able to eliminate a red herring because I see it has sufficient but not necessary characteristics which mean it doesn’t have to belong to the group, even if I haven’t identified the link for the group it will go in yet. Or, in this example, Airedale looks quite unlikely to belong to any group other than terriers, so I know I only need to cycle the other terriers to find the right match. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15152: 3/10...some interesting specifics (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15151: 10/10 Like the different sounding same spelling crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #15151: It's Moustache if thats what you were trying to say, and the irregular plural for tooth is teeth, not tooth surely? (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15132: exactly the same as Firstgofer. Who's going to be the first person to incorporate DT Suzuki in a grid? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15138: The bible is my joker but even I took time 7 for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15139: Did it somehow more a bit of luck +my bible knowledge (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15141: One line then 2 answers this one was hard for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15143: Easy but ok (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15143: Easy but ok (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15146: One line then 4 answers that’s ok for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15138: Nope, there's no "s" at the end. It's the Book of Revelation. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15143: @AvalancheMC: I strongly disagree. Crossovers are strongly in the Only Connect tradition, and in cases like this the optimal solve involves seeing that the group has too many combinations to guess by brute force and eliminating some possibilities by finding another group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #15114: How can I type "mineral" and be judged incorrect? And elements is surely enough?? Plus names of people??....c'mon..... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #15138: Call me picky - the book of the New Testament is Revelations. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #15143: I enjoyed it; I simply must lack the intelligence and sophistication to understand the critical points raised by those that are clearly superior. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15143: AvalancheMC - chill out man, it's only a game. It is what it is, if a trivial quiz gets you so worked up, maybe it's not for you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15143: 5/10...Not Stellar, but not as bad as other's make it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15143: I know I'm repeating myself, but red herrings shouldn't just be “items that actually fit in a line, but don't just because”. They have to be items that mislead you, that may fit with the other 4 in the line, but lack a specific trait the other 4 posses. It was no fun at all trying to find which 4 of the 6 possible terriers were actually grouped together. Combined with the fact that the Thames line is as obscure and specific as a board could get, and that 2 of the terriers that were not actually terriers are THE MOST POPULAR breeds of terriers, I really have to rate this board’s quality 1 star. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AlanTuring @ #15148: Got it eventually. 3 of them could only be french colors and 2 of them could only be girls names then the fruits wre easy to deparate from the flowers (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15148: 5/10 these more straightforward boards are harder for hardcore players. (6 years, 4 months ago)

dave @ #15148: Nice. Unlike some i like the potential ambiguity. Approached logically, there could only be one correct solution. don't dumb down fpor the masses. 10/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15146: 4/10. where I didn't get them, I felt I should've known most...those are the best grids (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15148: 5/10 Too much ambiguity can definitely ruin a board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15146: Jiffy was a 'un poisson rouge' (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15146: Flight bag = a small zipped shoulder bag carried by air travellers OR specific bag carried by pilots and crew. (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15146: What's a "flight bag"? I was going for Jiffy bag (type of padded envelope). (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15148: Bit too much ambiguity. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15140: I like the gimmick, and managed 10/10 with educated guessing. Will quibble that "la" and "do" refer to positions on a scale, but that scale doesn't have to start at C. (6 years, 4 months ago)

ZJB @ #15143: less than a minute so nice and easy spevcially once I got the cars first (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #14886: Got the "fours" in no time but then couldn't stop thinking about a misleading "bluebird"/"blue cheese" link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15148: Too many potential solutions for me... I got 10 but was more a matter of clicking until finding the right combo. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Nicole @ #15148: Tough but fair (ish!) and lots of overlaps with the girls/flowers/fruits (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15143: My fastest ever - 10/10 in 27 seconds with no mistakes. A bit too easy and not enough crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15138: Fun! (6 years, 4 months ago)

e @ #15141: Not accepting "writers" for "authors" is a bit pathetic... otherwise this was quite good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

ZJB @ #15148: Nice one! Good crossovers between all the categories. Needed to dredge up my school French. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MB @ #15115: Even got the football one! (6 years, 4 months ago)

MB @ #15137: So easy when you see the answers afterwards. Doh (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15142: Likewise Andy, got me stuck in a Nintendo tailspin, 6/10. Good work. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15143: 10 in 22 seconds... Anglia gave me 2 groups v quickly. Nicely done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15142: Good grid. Missed the van connection... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15143: A good mix, and quite a tight board to unpick with the geographical overlaps. Scored 6/10. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #2573: Incomprehensible garbage (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15111: Agree with Orlando... a group along the lines of Liver, Black, Hartle, Welsh would work though (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15112: 10/10 in 20 seconds! Must show my age and interests! Thanks UB (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15114: As others have said, a strange mix between very specific solutions and very vague. Groups easy to solve as I didn't spot any crossovers, connections less so. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jane harland @ #15141: Excellent grid, really, really difficult! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jane harland @ #13339: Good fun! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #3036: 6/10..this one probably should be deleted for offensiveness (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #13509: 6/10 again not very easy despite markings as such (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14718: Has a distinctly US bent. 10/10 (not very easy though) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #2573: I don't know if anyone has played this one, but this is certainly not very easy. I read the answers and still don't get it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15125: Managed to get the Bulgarian line marked correct with comp!etely the wrong answer! Guessed the a...a line answer and was surprised to get it right. It was only the Harry Potter line that I sorted and got the right answer. A tough grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #4547: Not great. Too specific, You have to have read 'James and the Giant Peach' and watched 'The a Great Escape' and as for Garner as Ghana - this only works if you use southern English mispronounciation. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #13122: Easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15118: Other than cheers I hadn't heard of the US TV shows. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15115: Wouldn't accept "comics" but otherwise ok. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15114: Put elements for one group but that wasn't sufficiently specific and another group was just "names of people" ! Easy to sort as no real crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15140: Nice grid, all falls into place once you work out the theme. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #184: 3/10 A good board doesn't just include items that can fit in more than one category for the sake of it. A great board actually makes sure that those items might fit at first if the person solving the board establishes too broad of a connection. This one doesn't. And I'm not talking just about the Shrek line, I'm talking about the Victoria line as well. There are multiple such items here. Kudos on the Boot line, tho. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #8436: 3/10. Once the groups were sorted, most of the connections were very easy to spot. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #5743: 10/10 fairly simple and fun to play (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #13350: 4/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #8436: very tricky. 3/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15119: 4/10...a bit unfamiliar for me, but well constructed (6 years, 4 months ago)

Den @ #9531: the sage is in Gateshead not Newcastle (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15138: Excellent quality and not too tough. Really liked it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15137: 10/10 but wasn't easy! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15138: Enjoyed this one and got 10/10, though have never heard of Camel! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15120: Good, though provoking grid. Didn't get the Injured connection as was looking for a solution along the same lines as the others (managed defraud). Definitely 'hard' but not complaining! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15135: honestly shocked y'all see this as that hard, figured most could at least pick up 3 on the back end. I guess what they say is true, you don't understand how hard a trivia question will be perceived until you ask someone. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15127: Yep fair play. Probably a good board to give my Countdown friends but probably not great for the general public. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15138: 10/10...thanks for making me feel smart (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15141: 7/10 got me on the Cranker line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15137: 5/10 well done... (6 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #15135: Conclusive proof that difficulty and entertainment don't always go together. No doubting the setter's braininess but, well, do YOU care? (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15139: I enjoyed it a lot. (6 years, 4 months ago)

DrDrunkenstein @ #15137: Too weak, too slow. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Cobalt @ #15122: Great grid. Thanks for posting. 7/10 - I didn't get the last group either! (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15120: @Orlando American here. Got 4/10 by spotting Lib and Lab, but flummoxed on the rest because I didn't know that fact and was looking for "Lob" or something to fill out the pattern. (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #15120: Good one. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15119: Tried "reduplicative phrases" even though I knew it wouldn't match. :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15132: Would've scored 10 if I knew anything at all about KP. Good grid :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15134: Got the Knox group thanks to Thidwick... but ended up with a mere 4/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15135: Unachievable for all but a happy few. 0/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15141: Ditto! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15138: Got the prog connection immediately! :-) Saw the rest, but unfamiliar with Deuteronomy in this context. V good grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15140: Nicely done... and you succeeded! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15140: That was pretty cool, a little different from the normal style, but not in a bad way. I got 10/10 but I had to think all the way. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15141: Same as Orlando, but correct answer for the Brillig group was marked incorrect. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15140: You succeeded. Easy as... (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15122: Really enjoyed this grid... great construction and entertaining. Thanks! :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

gaoshan @ #15135: I got 0 out of 10, but enjoyed it quite a lot. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15141: Missed the bowling and horror links but otherwise straightforward. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15140: The connections are obvious to establish, but a little troublesome to connect. An easy board. 10/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15135: Waited for three minutes without clicking just to find out what on earth the links would be. That's three minutes of my life I won't get back. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15141: It should be fairly easy to find the groupings for this one. He connection for one of the lines is harder than the rest and requires some additional knowledge, but the rest should be very easy for anybody who's well-versed in English Language culture. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15139: Phrasal verbs and common prefixes make weakish links. Not surprised to see a mistake. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15139: 4/10 I got to admit, it isn't as hard as my score suggests. The hand/blow red herring was funny, even if it was childish. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15140: Yet another attempt to design an easy grid. If this gets rated as hard, I'll give up. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15139: Non unique solution : you can swap throw and cast (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15137: Another miserable score. Red fish and poor knowledge of tennis beat me here. (6 years, 4 months ago)

CourtJester @ #15135: Impossible (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15138: Nice one. Just 4/10 as I didn't know the bands. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #15138: Good grid. Didn't get prog rock groups, but rest were straightforward. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15137: Oh, and also 10/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15137: Really nice grid, my only complaint is the Cosmopolitan group could've been more specific so that the red herrings for it aren't excluded on the sole basis that they fit elsewhere. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15136: I found it very tough and scored 3/10. I think the Honesty connection was fair enough, I just didn't see it, but the Magic and War lines require very esoteric knowledge. Cheers though (6 years, 4 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #15136: I basically came up with the idea for this one by noticing that loyalty is both an element of harmony and in Kendrick's DNA. Of course maybe making something like this that is too pop culture heavy based on a random thought I had is kinda stupid but I hope you guys find enjoyment with it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15135: Well if anyone scores more than 0/10 then well done to them. Haha. Cheers anyway. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15134: That was pretty good. Scored 5/10, the Knox line did me over. Very obscure group. Cheers though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15130: Clever, nice mix, got 2 connections and 4 groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15129: Found that very tough and only scored 3/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15122: A fun grid, cheers. 7/10 thanks to being in the same boat as you and Mister Tom (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15132: Diego-Timotei Suzuki is an incredibly famous physicist - he's the guy who invented the time machine back in the 27th century. You need to brush up your quiz knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15122: Thanks a lot for the comments. This one was largely a response to #15199, or perhaps it's more a matter of homage. I also don't watch the show, but there was a tempting red herring with Darcy, and I think it's within the universe of reasonable quiz knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #186: 10/10 I was here (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #6140: 10/10..nothing to say, I tag so I know what i've done before Enjoyable, moderate difficulty. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #61: 4/10...dig the wayback machine (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15129: 10/10, but only because the answer lines are pretty generous (shouldve been 6). @AvalancheMC, have more than 4 answers is part of the challenge (admittedly, you shouldn't really go beyond 6). It's what I call a red herring, but most on this board call a "Crossover" You need to identify those lines and get good at clicking the combinations quickly. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #6140: 2/10 Great one. Sylvester line is a bit too broad, but otherwise great. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15128: 2/10 lots of esoterica. Only got the points because I knew who Zamenhoff was. And I could relate Gruber to Pierpont. but rough (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15122: 10/10 Even though I don't watch that programme, managed to work it out after guessing the group of names. Liked the use of homophones in the masculine group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15132: 5/10 solid board. Want a real puzzle, figure out how DT Suzuki commented on this 4 months before anyone saw it....hmmm??????????? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15126: 4/10 as well. Noticed the Meg Ryan anagram and then started to look for anagrams of other countries in those two difficult groups.. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15131: Actually did it after 30 seconds of blank ideas (6 years, 4 months ago)

David @ #61: im 19 this was so confusing (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15132: That was quite good. Scored 6/10. Some clues a bit obscure, but it'd be too easy if that wasn't the case. Nice work. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Cobalt @ #15112: Nice grid. 5/10 - just ran out of time as it started to fall into place. Nice connections. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15125: Somehow managed to sort and find the connectipn for the Sofia group 7/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15127: This would be a great puzzle in a different format - eg pub quiz, but you just haven't got time to work out the anagrams (even though you only need to work out one per line). I got the elements in time, but had to work out the rest after the board was resolved (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #2296: 4/10 I missed the Curtains line, but in hindsight it was so obvious! The Bond line was impossible for me, since I've never been exposed to that much. All around a great grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15129: There are 5 possible candidates for the Raging Bull line, without any way to distinguish between them (e.g. there are 5 items that fit the criteria). Wolf of Wallstreet line was cool, but another item should've been picked instead of Wolf of Wallstreet. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #186: The half line is very difficult to get if you're not into a specific hobby (and also a questionable connection between the words of that group). Ugly is another questionable word, although I did get its line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15127: Did better than anticipated, but mainly thru luck. Saw Late Claim and Nerdy Age; Rain, Polar Tug and Iguana Car; Deal, Curry Me and Nerdy Hog quite quickly. Through some lucky guessing I got 2 groups and 3 solutions, but anagrams need to be relatively simple to work on a grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15122: Brilliant grid, really enjoyed this one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15126: 0/10, but very clever grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

AvalancheMC @ #15126: 7/10 With the exception of the Coral snakes group, the rest have been pretty easy, especially the Inches group and the Reptilians one. The Berlin Wall one does require specific knowledge to name the connection, although establishing that connection is pretty easy. I don't think it deserves being named “unfair”. If anything, this group is quite fair. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15127: Fair play :-) Just thought I'd try something a bit different. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15126: I made this grid, and agree that it's completely unfair - hence the name I posted it under. The coral snake group is one that you could only stand much chance of solving if you knew what a coral snake was. I think the other members do strictly meet the criterion, but perhaps not in all versions, and the connection is not something you'd be likely to stumble upon. Personally, I might have got that one through a lifelong fascination with biology, but I would never have picked up the Berlin Wall one. However, it's not entirely impossible for someone older to have that knowledge. All in all, there's probably someone in the world who could get full marks, but it's still an unfair grid. Congratulations to both on scoring 4, which is better than I thought people would get. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15127: Simply Too much of something to have any real meaning. If you could stop the clock to decipher, maybe, but you can't. If you solve 1 anagram every 11 seconds..unrealistic. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15126: 4/10...There were somethings I really liked like the anagrams. But I think the Superman line is simply wrong, there's only 2 of the 3 on 2 of the 4 answers. The Berlin wall line is something you don't see a lot of here on Puzzgrid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15125: 4/10..Wow. I never would have the guessed the Americana line in a million years. It's like hiding a tree in a forest. I feel I've been beat...which is a compliment (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15126: Tricky, scored 4/10. The Berlin Wall and Superman groups were very difficult in my opinion, but the anagrams running through the board were very clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15125: Very tough and not really the same as other grids in style or difficulty. Scored 2/10 after only sorting and naming the Chamber connection. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15124: Not a bad grid at all, nice mix of content. Scored 7/10 after the Ratso connection escaped me. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15122: Neither did I... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15120: Bonehead (nice pseudonym). The "party" line was intended as a clue to the general theme. It's hard to know who's American on this site but, in case you didn't know, Lib, Lab, and Con are standard abbreviations of the names of the three major political parties in Britain. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15089: Didn't accept "Weasley brothers" or just "TV hosts" as I am not familiar with SNL. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #4913: 10/10 you're making me feel good (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #11691: 4/10 - got all four on backend...trying to see what the Germans are up to. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15124: 10/10 what a bunch of Shifu. Jk...enjoyed it, found it on the easier, but it's probably because you are another American (welcome to the group!!) and we're culturally similarly aware. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15120: I like this. the red herring is in the type of group - 3 groups of one type then a fourth group of a different type. Almost nailed it (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #15122: My favorite grid agree (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15108: 4/10 same boat as the others. Looked at the last 8 clues and was dumbfounded. Saw the answers and felt I should've figured out one of two. Feel beaten, but it was fair & square (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15115: 2/10 didn't rate...culturally not for me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15122: 7/10 just missed the very not-American group. I think I made it harder on myself than it should be (I saw a group that wasnt part of the game) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15121: 4/10..a solid puzzle (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #112: Same here on comeddicome. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15120: 5/10 I would say it's hard. Got to decipher the crossword clues before matching...but once you find the pattern, it eases up a bit. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15122: Best one I’ve tried for a long time 6 for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15122: That one was pretty cool - broke from the normal style of clue but not in a bad way. I was a bit blank when I first looked at it, but then ended up getting 10/10 anyway - to me, that's a sign of a good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15120: Excellent grid, but I'd rate it as hard. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15112: Nice grid. Haven't heard of Citadelle, although I am a fan of that group ! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15120: Pitched this as easy - again. Let's see if I got the level right this time. Probably not. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15118: Liked this one. Saw the links soon enough but tricky fish made me use up most of the time and lives sorting out the groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15118: Is Lauda also a form of cheers? (6 years, 4 months ago)

anthony @ #15115: awesome grid ,well done (6 years, 4 months ago)

anthony @ #15118: a good grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #204: Admittedly put print for leapord, Vista, Android and Linux because of leapord and Vista. Thanks for giving me a seven, cauldron. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15119: Very tricky, scored 2/10. Never heard of Byte, Time, Make or Patch in the context of these clues. Cheers though (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15112: Any grid featuring the Hendricks group gets my vote. Quality connections and crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15118: 4/10 - very playable. good crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15118: Nice one, got 7/10 but it probably should have been 10. Good crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15110: That was just weird. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15115: First names and forests easy enough to sort out but used up my lives looking for famous Dannies to go with Kay and Blanchflower (which happens to be my surname so everyone called me Danny when i was a kid.) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15114: Isolated from minerals extracted in Ytterby but not discovered there. Easy to sort the groups but missed the names(?) and programmes links. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #14755: Did not except African capital city. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15111: Just half a word (less in the case of "Ox") as a clue? Fair enough if each word can be completed with the same letters but this felt a bit random. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #14763: Months is a rubbish clue and would not except girls names that are flowers despite all of them being that. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #2748: Challenging, but completed in 1:36. All pretty similar solutions. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #566: YES! So good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Spider-Joe @ #15117: A Spider-Man themed grid created by my 7y/o...understand this is very niche, but he loves the character (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15114: Scored 7/10 missing the connection mentioned below. That was a weird group to be honest, there should probably be more to connect them than what you mentioned. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15115: Awesome grid, nice mix of ideas and overlaps and it's always nice to score 10/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #98: OMG that was SOOOOO easy. It was so easy it was weasy. WEASY. 10/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jake @ #3712: SI units? Little much yeah? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #2127: Good one (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #14868: Shortstop in baseball is all one word. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15114: names of people? whaaaaaa? (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15114: 5/10..some pretty specific answers. Solid board. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15111: Fiendish. (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #15089: too easy to be a "medium". had fun though (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #871: rubbish. 4 of them are just years, very obvious. (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #915: great one. so many of them could have been in multiple rows. but still easy enough for me to solve it, so great (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #920: i really liked it the blues were a struggle (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15112: Tricky but nice mix and variety, scored 5/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15109: I see what you did there... 10/10 :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15092: Good fun, thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15097: Nice idea (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15096: 4/10 I thought the crossovers were actually solid. You have 7 first names, And three bodies of water in there (if you a lot for the misspelling of Aegean). Spent well over a minute, guessing wrongly in these areas. The inclusion of Toadette is a strong clue on that line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15110: Got 2/10. could've easily been 6 Putt in the best possible 4 letter words to answer each line and received no credit for solving the line. Weird, for sure, unsolvable, no. We've got 15000 of these games floating around here, I applaud the attempt at something different. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15111: 4/10...Kept seeing false relations, that were almost. If you did this on purpose, very clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Norman @ #14422: Masterchef is not a Gordan Ramsy programme and never has been. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15108: stick to the day job (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15111: Well I scored 0/10 there. Some tough grids today, that's for sure. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15103: Disagree with it being easy as well. Only scored 4/10. Clever grid though, just the Landau and Middlesex groups were far too obscure for me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15092: Never heard of Ohm Farad in this context and that cost me a 10/10. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15110: Esoteric and arcane. Scored 0/10 and not disappointed at all to have done so. I thought Adele albums might be in there somewhere but no. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #15026: Loved this one - great fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #10267: Not great - cockney terms are very location specific, fine for London centrics. But I like the "on the ..." And wagon was a nice red herring for wheels. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15109: Clever but very tough. I scored 2/10, identifying Launch and Fire groups after not getting any of the connections. I've done the exact same theme in the past so I disappointed in myself here, haha. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15109: I labled this as easy but the red fish might make it trickier than I thought. It's your rating that counts. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15103: Managed a 10 for a change. Always satisfying when the grid is far from simple. Nice one. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15107: Liked this one. Should've caught on to the theme more quickly. When I finally realized what was going on it was too late to filter out the red fish. 5/10. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Degaleg @ #15106: Maybe too many colour crossovers. My 2nd ever grid, so you live and learn! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Degaleg @ #15106: Maybe too many colour crossovers. My 2nd ever grid, so you live and learn! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15100: Never heard of heman either, so got 7/10 via guesswork. It's given me ideas if nothing else :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15098: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15098: I'll probably find them easier than this, then... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15106: I got the Bernie group just by observing that all 4 began with a name- - which felt a bit rubbish- so this was bjetter than i thought it was! It was more of a test of what the groups exactly were than it was of resolving them. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15107: Big day ahead? 😀 As pointed out below theres 2 solutions at least. Shame as a nice idea (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #15060: P!aces to live = dwellings??? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15108: Not sure what to make of that. Two groups really good and gettable with a bit of thinking, two groups ridiculously obscure. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15107: Funny how hard it can be to spot a theme. The grid defeated me but I managed three connections ... then kicked myself (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15100: 4/10 Do you have a friend named "He-Man" And does he reside in Castle Grayskull? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #14707: Wrote all sound the same. That is basically the same thing but not excepted! Also how does mature mean grow. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15098: Duplicate of #15099 and #15100 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15099: Duplicate of #15098 and #15100 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15100: Some very tough connections. A nice challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15104: A few of the connections feel a bit loose, but some nice ideas here. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15103: A challenge with some good crossovers. Managed 7/10, just the "Surrey" group beat me. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lavinia @ #15096: a good attempt but I was expecting more :/ (6 years, 4 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #15081: Well put together. I should have done better, especially the books, which I have read. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jim Karna @ #15080: Good grid, thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #15104: Tough! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15095: Car line was a good idea (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15099: Hard got 3pts (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15103: Not easy for me only got the fly line (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15106: Happy with four points (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15107: Well done (6 years, 4 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #15095: Left me confused...same problems as encountered by FirstGofer. Nice ideas though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #15097: Superb stuff, well done. Clever idea and well constructed. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15107: Solved with four seconds to spare. So many red herrings but still possible to solve. Good grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #15103: Fun, but very easy. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #15106: Wow, that was tough! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #15107: Recognisable squares, but very tough to get them lined up correctly. Good gridding. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15107: 5/10 Clever, and I like it overall. Colonial knowledge stumped me with "Trafford." Only real problem is that "Age" and "Testament" could be swapped. Also "Moon" and "Potatoes" but the latter uses a less common phrase. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15107: Well fair enough. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15106: 3/10..Lots of crossovers..35 combos for one line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15107: 4/10 There is such a thing as too many crossovers. 4 other words could fit the Jersey line, that's 70 possible combos. And another 15 combos on the Trafford line. I don't like winning on speed clicking alone. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15097: This was excellent. Realised the theme almost immediately as I did German and Italian at university and did a round on French language phrases recently, but it was still tricky to pick apart. Nice one mate. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15102: exiled yes, but I put comeback - that's what they did after being exiled terms of affection, yes (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15096: Yahoo and Bing aren't browsers - they're search engines (6 years, 4 months ago)

Evelyn Wilson @ #15102: I tried 'terms of affection' which didn't work either - I was tempted to put 'pet names' but that felt a bit 'wrong'. Good grid though, especially the 'exiled' one which is obvious when you know the answer but tricky to pin down under pressure of time. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15102: Didn't accept terms of endearment, but I gave myself the point ;-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Chenny D @ #15080: Nice. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jody @ #15100: too obscure for me - Heman? Also If there is a homonym for lettuce surely it would be 'let is' (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15096: Some nice ideas, but needs crossovers. Agreed regarding the weak "Chrome" group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Noman @ #15096: 10/10 would do again (6 years, 4 months ago)

Man @ #15096: Lovely quiz I enjoyed (6 years, 4 months ago)

Man @ #15096: Lovely quiz I enjoyed (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dan @ #15096: YAY GOOD JOB I DID BADLY (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dylan @ #15096: Nice try. Not all of us can make nice quizzes. But still (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #15096: What the duck is a browser huh (6 years, 4 months ago)

Saniya @ #15096: OMG GUYS I LOVED IT BUT THIS ISNT SANIYA NOPE CAUSE SHE HATED IT BUT I LOVE IT SO IM DEFINITELY NOT HER YEAH (6 years, 4 months ago)

Saniya @ #15096: I disapprove. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15077: Got there with a minute and a half to spare! Enjoyed this one, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #15092: I will looking for cricket the whole way only to loose confidence and go for knots right at the end! Enjoyed the grid though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

g @ #15092: nice and easy does it (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15072: Very tough, although kicked myself I didn't get a couple of connections. An enjoyable challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15095: Well constructed grid. Would be really helpful if you could put the answer in the 'notes' as well as the explanation, eg, what was accepted for the Aslan group? You have 2 lions, a tiger and a panther. Not sure why zodiac signs was rejected... or Ford Car Models. TIA (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15090: A great grid with some touch connections to work out. Very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15096: I'm not convinced that two of the clues fit the provided connection for the "Chrome" group. A few more crossovers would have added some challenge. A nice attempt. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15095: Got all the links but beaten by the red fish again. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15097: I really enjoyed this, a great idea and tough to unravel. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15091: Challenging with some good crossovers. I enjoyed this grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15092: Quite easy, but some nice ideas. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15097: Maybe we should phase out the use of these words, along with all the other madness, as part of the brexit preparations. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15087: I liked this grid. In Dr R's defence, Eric Clapton was in Blind Faith with Steve Winwood, who was in Traffic so there is a very tenuous connection. I can also forgive the Micky, Mikey and that it was Slik not Slick as these are just superficial and didn't detract from my enjoyment. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15092: Now, put cricket in there and I'm away! Only spotted 2 crossovers, so got this one fast. Thanks for the grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15091: 6/10 ... would have been 7 if the answer had required the nationality as well (harsh!). No chance of getting the Normal group :-/ (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15090: Only got the Turandot group... love the diversity of your solutions, though. A real test! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15089: SNL = Saturday Night Live. Massive US comedy show, that launched many massive careers - Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, Mike Myers, Chevy Chase, Billy Crystal, Bill Murray... Enjoyable grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15087: The only time Eric Clapton was in traffic was when someone broke down in the road works on the A14. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Adam Zapple @ #15089: Very easy, but fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Chuck Stake @ #15090: Well thought out; good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #15092: Good fun, well done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15091: Found this one a lot harder than 15092. Saw the science and maths connections from the start but couldn't sort them out. Ended up with a miserable 2. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15092: Nice one. Was lost among the cricket terms until I spotted the iron connection. Then the final hurdle was ohm farad, which I thought was the name of some arab I'd never never heard of. Anyway, the other items in the group gave me the connection and a satisfying 10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15092: Good grid, fairly straightforward. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15090: Godzilla meets the classical world. Nice mix. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #15084: 6/10. Two lines might have other connections not listed but in the same ballpark. I liked it but I think I aced it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #15073: 4/10 got three points from the second half. tough, but not unreasonable...nicely done (6 years, 4 months ago)

Eric Clapton @ #15087: I was never in Traffic (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #15087: 4/10..tough a bit esoteric but fine. I can buy David for Davy, but Mikey for Micky is off. & the Decades are cut funny. (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #15059: @orlando same here about the Hendrix version - had to make a bit of a guess in the end! Nice grid enjoyed this one (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15087: Same as Steve H... that connection was fiendish (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15087: Who'd know something like that? I bet the setter googled it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15089: Quick and easy - would've got 10 in record time if I had any idea what SNL is or who any of the people in the group are. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15081: @Jonbob - yeah, 3 of these would be dfficult to spot from your side of the pond... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15079: Good one (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15081: Porridge brilliant the golfers I got as well only the Jennings one stumped me. Good one (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15083: 2 easy lines 2 hard ones my answers for the hard ones were miles off (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15087: Groups are my thing so rushed thru it didn’t get the no ones though (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15089: 30 seconds then all but the brothers one (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #13016: had not seen frozen (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15089: Mixed feelings about this one. Solved it in 10 seconds due to lack of crossovers, but couldn't identify the US-centric one, nor the Charlie group, so I scored 6/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #13420: loved the weapon category (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #13748: i agree with mike and peekay (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15081: 0/10 for me, even after seeing all the answers and connections. I know zero of these things, and I hope it's just because I'm on the wrong side of the Atlantic! (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #13941: agree with rosschris "the" makes the puzzle too easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #14043: i'm not british so the comedians were difficult, had to leave them to last (6 years, 4 months ago)

YB @ #14046: way too easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jon @ #15081: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15083: Seemed tricky at first glance but managed to get 10/10 there. Not many overlaps I think but still fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15084: specialist grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15078: Mr Tom. I thought about it. Just trying to get the level of challenge right. Other grids that I submitted as medium where considered hard by the solvers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15080: Great stuff, good me with the Islington group, very clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15078: Peekay. I don't see what you mean. Ther's only one way to resolve this grid. Squareeyes. Drake is a given name of English origin meaning snake or dragon. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15077: Fantastic. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15078: Tweet tweet. In context you could have asked for verb in the connection. And as others have said you probably didn't need the sir or the captain. Good clean fun though 😊 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Yay @ #15078: Love that this is all about birds! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Yay @ #15067: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15077: Excellent. Can't believe I missed the hunter group (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15078: 10/10 fairly quickly ... including verbs. the inclusion of sir and captain made this a lot easier. (6 years, 4 months ago)

jjm @ #15077: 3 wordy rows, did those, Images of star signs I couldn't. Neat flip (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #15066: Awful, sorry, but just dreadful. Makes no sense at all (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #15078: The first names line is pushing it tbh, as they could be another group (6 years, 4 months ago)

squareeyes @ #15078: 10/10 with 4 seconds to go!... but the "drake" line should be surnames, I think? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15078: I wrote just "bird" as the keyword for the link as the grid is probably challenging enough anyway, but well done if you spotted that swallow, duck, gull and rail are also verbs. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15077: Got nowhere with this one. Just a couple of links. Too early in the morning perhaps. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15077: 10/10... well constructed and fun. :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15076: I saw the groups... missed the Arrows as I opted for weapons. It didn't accept motor racing though. A good challenge (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15076: Tough one. Scored 3/10. The Arrows group was very clever and I kicked myself about it, as it has been a question on Only Connect in the past. Have never heard of Partisan in this context but you learn something every day. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15048: Can you remember what the problem was, James? I do try to accept as much as I can think of. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15062: Easy as, erm ... 1, 2, 3 ;) (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15059: Nice grid, thanks. I managed a full house, though the Cold Shoulder group was a bit of a punt. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15058: I only managed 3/10, but this was a fair grid with some original groups. Thanks for the fun challenge! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15057: Liked this one. Thanks for setting it (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15048: Nicely done. I'm ashamed to say I had no trouble with Electra's group, and missed the connection with Napoleon's. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #15068: Definitions are shockingly bad (6 years, 4 months ago)

Peekay @ #8261: The Antonyms line really really didn't work (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15068: The other one was better. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JamesD @ #15048: A good grid, but you need to work on your accepted responses. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Twiki @ #15054: Excellent grid. Lot of fun. But I put Stephen down as an answer and it was marked incorrect when Boxing Day (when King Wenceslas looked out) is the feast of St Stephen (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15058: Hardest one for a while beat me a feeble 2 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15060: Done the first bit quick then only got Hugh Laurie not bad (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15063: heavy metal groups not accepted. I was also tripped up by the misspelt word (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15073: hmmm... sophie? who remembers that, or ever knew it? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15063: Pretty good (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15067: Easy but ok (6 years, 4 months ago)

Steve h @ #15073: I did alright all but the horses (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #14372: Did not except heiroglyphs when they are and chocolate bars seems to come up a lot. Otherwise good grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15067: Ah magnum, my old friend... a new twist on it, but Straightforward enough. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15073: Stealers... think "Stuck In The Middle With You" and Daisy is a printer (showing my age again!) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15073: Nice grid. Got lost among all the royal names but the links were clear enough after I'd run out of time. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15067: I didn't put the same clue twice this time :) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Emma @ #15067: Almost cracked the code. 6/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15073: Tough one, scored 3/10. Never heard of Daisy or Stealers being used in the context of that clue description. Cheers though (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15067: All good. Thanks Andy P. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15067: Excellent. (6 years, 4 months ago)

W.D. @ #15062: As JonBob said, probably easy once you see the gimmick. Unfortunately, I kept trying to find a sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4 and only got it as the time ran out. Nice idea - well done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

W.D. @ #15061: Ah, you got me on the tube station group. The only thing I'd say is it may not be a great idea to put what the clues are red herrings for as it gives away that group if you look at the connection before you've guessed the others (that is, if you are guessing like me - if you know the answer, not so much of a problem). (6 years, 4 months ago)

GeordieBigBoots @ #12456: Spelling mistakes and poor descriptions (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ezra @ #8270: TWAT! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ezra @ #8297: Total wank! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joex @ #15063: Thanks for feedback. it was a double bluff as it does fit into one of the other links. But perhaps you would have to know to be fooled by it.... If that makes sense! Apologies for the poor spelling! Still quite happy for a first attempt at creating one 😊 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Chumsford @ #15063: Nice grid, it's 'apocalyptic' though, got me looking for hidden words with that spelling! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15067: I think I'm beginning to see how your mind works AndyP. Another 10/10. Another well put together grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15062: :D (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15063: I missed the Age group too! Slipknot doesn't really work in this context, should really be Slip to fit with the group. Sorry for spoiler! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15061: Likewise Marlborough... but it can be very difficult to get the right number of crossovers to create a decent challenge AND have a unique solution. And we all have the occasional typo. I enjoyed it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15059: Pretty good. Only 6/10 because I only know the Hendrix version of "All Along the Watchtower" (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15037: It isn't a verb in this context, which is why I wrote "plural forms" in the explanation. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15067: 5/10. Beaten by the red fish again. Nice one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15062: Andy. I thought of a few synonyms but rejected them. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15062: That was fun, and a nice change from the normal style of grid. I also admire your audacity in using the word Poo as a clue when you know it might get flak from some people. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15063: Nice one, I got 7/10 but had a slight advantage as I did the Figure 8 connection myself the other day. Kicking myself that I missed naming the connection of the Age group, seems so obvious now. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bmd34 @ #1443: Juvenile award hardly counts for Garland when the others all won for acting. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15062: Fun, but easy once the gimmick is spotted. (6 years, 4 months ago)

GERARDO GARCIA @ #14998: DEFFO BS (6 years, 4 months ago)

GERARDO GARCIA @ #14998: I AGREE (6 years, 4 months ago)

AMAR GHAG @ #14998: VERY EASY ?? I THINK N0T (6 years, 4 months ago)

AMAR GHAG @ #2803: BS (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15061: Nice idea... unfortunately Strand also used to be a cigarette brand so this doesn't have a unique solution. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15051: Just a bit on the wrong side of the line between "clever" and "unfair." I like the ideas here but, as previous comments note, there are some incorrect leaps due to spelling and math issues. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15059: Great grid, liked the red herrings. I saw the connections too late so only got 6/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15057: Nice one.. thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15054: @Platypodes... totally right, as well I knew. Can't even blame that one on too much grape. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15055: Excellent stuff! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #15057: Good stuff, well constructed. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Grugen @ #15052: Liked this, the double mullet was a bonus. And I also had the Winchester for Minder, not Shaun of the Dead but that just shows my age. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #15054: Decent grid, got there in the end (6 years, 4 months ago)

Platypodes @ #15054: Nice grid - my only quibble is in one of your explanations: Although he was the star, Tony Hancock most certainly did not write Hancock's Half Hour. That was Ray Galton & Alan Simpson. (6 years, 4 months ago)

MB @ #15049: Good lunchtime quizzing (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15054: Nice idea. Needed another herring (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15054: Had the connections but your clever Will Smith herring sent me swimming in the wrong direction. 6/10 for me. Thanks for a great grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15044: An excellent grid, thank you. Close but no cigar on the wood group, so it was 7/10 for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15045: Agree with Orlando. Spent a while puzzling at this one, then it fell into place very quickly. A satisfying grid, thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15049: A fun wall with a couple of quality crossovers. Thank you for setting. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15052: Twice the mullets, twice the fun. Thanks Andy. 7/10 for me after lumping for every connection but the correct one in the Rovers group (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15051: Managed a clean sweep with a lot of guesswork around the more obvious clues. Ma and Ama are particularly tough clues (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15055: Good one - enjoyed this. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15052: Great grid (won't mention the mullet :-) ) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15052: 10/10 on an Andy P in less than a minute... good way to start the day. Forgiven on the mullet - we all make the odd goof. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15051: Got the groups (more luck than judgement on the Awakens group) and 3 connections BUT had no hope of the Ex Machina group - it's AGNUS not Angus. Unless, of course, it's a scottish lamb ;-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15050: Nice grid. A couple more crossovers would up the challenge (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15052: I'm so sorry - I don't know how it got past me, but I've put mullet on the grid twice. Apologies for being an idiot! haha. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15049: Enjoyed this. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15051: Well, a very tough board. Some very obscure concepts mixed in with some straightforward ones meant that I scored 0 on grouping them but 4 on naming them. I like the ideas, but it was just too difficult in the end. Also agree with K's comment below - besides, the square root of e is around 1.65, so you meant square root of E (capital letters often make a big difference in maths and physics). Cheers though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

K @ #15051: Not quite. The square root of mc^2 is sqrt(m)c (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15046: Straightforward. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bert @ #14494: Annoying (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15032: 10/10. Would not have gotten Mix if it weren't for FirstGofer's previous grid. Fin. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15047: 4/10..Well done. Some real stumpers there. Tough but not crazy, this game should be kinda hard and 4 or 10 is a decent score. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15046: 5/10..attributed to culture a bit. Solid game. Moderately difficult (6 years, 4 months ago)

fisherman @ #15046: just had to comment on Orlando's post- 'red fish" :) :) :) :) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Stimpy @ #9384: Bones in Star Trek lol (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15047: The veggie line's link felt a bit random. When the link involves adding a letter/s, it's always the same ones for each member of the group so changing a letter to whichever you choose seems loose. Otherwise pretty good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15046: Well I got 10/10 in 31 seconds, so it was a bit easy unfortunately, but a nice change compared to other groups recently. (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #14919: wasn't allowed things that smell (6 years, 4 months ago)

gg @ #10829: synonym description is rather inaccurate (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15046: Got the links but red fish and unfamiliar brands and varieties stopped me from sorting the groups out. Not so easy. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15045: Stared it this grid for two minutes, wondering where to start and then a lightbulb appeared above my head enabling me to sort out the groups in time. The nice thing about grids with links between the groups is that, once you start, you're on track till the end. Liked this one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

missh @ #15047: Very sorry if you entered the word bird and it registered incorrect - I mistakenly entered birds instead. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15044: Good grid. Didn't find the groups but got all of the connections. Liked the Fini group but it really stored me until I saw it with the other words of its correct group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

george @ #15046: easy but nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15046: A couple more crossovers would have upped the challenge... thanks for setting (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15045: Straightforward... 28 seconds, which is pretty much a record for me! Thanks :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15041: 7/10 good mix..concur with the others...a fine game to play (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15042: 3/10 Liked the Fratellis, as I'm a Blackhawks fan. a touch more specific than most on this site but good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15045: 10/10...Once you get the first one, the rest follow pretty easy. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #15045: distill is usually spelt distil (6 years, 4 months ago)

SpoderKid @ #15015: hard to judge whether its good or bad. Not terrible as a first attempt. Nico might not be so dumb (6 years, 4 months ago)

kid @ #15014: alright (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15038: My last name is the good old Irish Boyle, but I'm second generation Italian on my mom's side (Fauci - from Ischia). (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #15043: Great Grid, took me a while, but got the all with 5 secs to spare (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14922: Good one - especially liked the fact that all 7 dwarves were on there. I got lucky with my first 4. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15043: Nicely constructed. Found it easy having used winter palace and four seasons hotels in a recent grid. Once I'd clocked the theme, fell into place :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Titus @ #15042: too difficult (6 years, 4 months ago)

Brett Orr @ #8988: Robbish (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15042: Not sure about your Lemur line... armadillo (except a couple of sub-species) are not generally hairy and the solution seems overly narrow. Placental mammals includes just about every mammalian genus. Sorry! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15041: Great grid, Andy P! 10/10... i too have never heard of Malta but took a punt based on the others and have learnt something. Now, to slip it into conversation .. hahaha! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15040: The Grid line eluded me! The stages are mammalian, as well as human... except, of course, for the platypus! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15038: I was about to welcome you to life as a Brit!!! I think we've learned a lot about you with grid, urbanbaboon... coffee, wine, pasta. Is your last name Colombo?? ;-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15037: Very good on the Shipman line. Not convinced by the leaf line... loaf the verb doesn't conform and ditto kittymcg (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15036: Fiendish! The Shed group could have an alternative solution - all can precede Off. Likewise the Hat solution... as Survivor said. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15033: A satisfying grid that came apart with time and effort. Thanks for setting. The missing 'e' kept my score to 7/10, though I'm not sure I would have found the final connection in any case. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15030: A less than majestic 3/10. Thanks for a challenging grid with an interesting set of groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15034: Good one! Can't believe I missed the Western solution... was trying to find birds. D'oh! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15031: Yes, I liked the theme but the many overlaps made it difficult, particularly the very similar print and ring groups. 5/10 for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15033: My brain affected the score on this one! 2/10... just didn't twig. A deceptively challenging grid. Thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15032: Got this one fairly quickly... thanks to tropical and critic. I used the mix solution in a grid (but managed to include typo!) so that helped too. A fine grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15031: Found it hard... there were at 2 potential groups that had other solutions. Thanks for setting though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15035: Service and the slug were new to me but I was able to resolve the grid and find the connections. A pleasing mix of groups. Thank you for setting. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15036: Found two groups early then hit the wall with this one. The Hat group is very difficult. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15043: Clever premise for a grid, pretty difficult though, scored 5/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15030: 6/10. Didn't get the homosexuality solution, but the format of words suggested they went together. Ditto Mel Gibson's group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15029: Didn't get the Dun solution, but got the other 3 pretty quickly. Fun and original. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

JDizzle @ #98: In what English speaking place is the letter Y not pronounced Why? I know in phonetics it isn't but you're an adult right? (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15026: Smashed it! Good grid :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15025: Enjoyed this - thank you! (6 years, 4 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #15043: Nice theme - good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15041: Fair play, I thought it added to the grid rather than took away. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15041: Just two groups and three links. "Maltalent" is labeled as archaic and rare in the dictionary. It was tricky enough without that. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15040: It was all about the idea for the grid line. The rest was deliberately easy, but attempting to get similar looking words. this one was just for fun on my part. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #11973: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #11243: Good but don't know any red herrings for "mad", got it easy enough after that (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15040: Easy except for fiendish "grid"link at the end. Thought I was heading for an effortless 10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #3594: Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #3594: Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #14986: Nice one (6 years, 4 months ago)

kittymcg @ #15037: Your wolf group are also all anagrams of words beginning with f (6 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela @ #14487: Best grid for some while. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #7427: Too bloody american (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #15037: Yes, you got me Orlando. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Banana @ #15031: Too many links with the same sort of theme. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15035: 7/10 Welcome fellow American. Would've been perfect but I couldn't see the Ace line connection. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15038: Oops...didn't change the flag. This board was made in the USA, apologies. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15037: 4/10...that was a rough one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14868: Enjoyable. Always nice to get a ten for a change. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14973: "Overfeed" is written as one word and "hand feed" is a common collocation. What's the problem? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #15037: Good. Couldn’t do it but good (6 years, 4 months ago)

RBR45 @ #15034: The corvette threw me but good grid 10/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

truecockney @ #15033: Mistake on my part indeed. Hopefully it doesn't affect scores. (6 years, 4 months ago)

survivor @ #15036: Nice grid! With two groups remaining, I got undeservedly lucky by unitng the Hat group on the idea that they could all be followed by a silent E. Less elegant than the intended answer, but it worked in the nick of time. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15034: 5/10 Good set of red herrings. A Nice game. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15028: Agree - to keep a puzzle private in the future, you need to select "no" under "is this grid of interest to a general audience?" - this doesn't stop you from being able to copy & paste the URL to link it to your friends. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15033: "Parasit" isn't in the dictionary. Did you mean to write "site". Managed 7 despite the apparent mistake. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15024: Just got 3/10 for links.Saw three groups from the start but beaten by crossovers and rather obscure veg. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15036: Thought I might have set the bar high for the hat group. Hence the clue in the pat group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

g @ #15034: missed the boat parts but otherwise enjoyed good one (6 years, 4 months ago)

g @ #15035: loved the tones (didn't get it myself) very well done (6 years, 4 months ago)

Roopgrockie @ #12378: Have to agree. That was just silly. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15036: Got the obvious group but the rest was beyond me - including the Hell group which I used in a grid myself recently! Even witht the clue, the hat group was extremely tough. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15035: Got four links but only two groups. Beaten by the profusion of poets and the obscurity of Robert Service. Loved the link in the Bari group. Great grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15034: Good grid, scored 5/10, done over by the Headmaster group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15032: Also got 6 but great grid, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15034: Found this very straightforward. Which is allowed on a Sunday I guess! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15031: A clever theme, but very tough. Scored 2/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15035: Good one. Nice mix, and I scored 6/10. The Slug and the Frost groups got past me. The Miles group was very clever but I like the wordy ones. Cheers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15034: Good grid, 7/10 for me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #15026: A really fun and enjoyable grid. Thank you! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15032: Was pleased to get 6/10 on this tricky grid. Only got two groups but found all the links after a bit of head scratching. Particularly liked the "civic" line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15034: Just 4/10. Hadn't heard of a game called balderdash. Sounds like fun. Nicely hidden in the headmaster line. Good challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #14475: Sorry if that was a spoiler but you aint going to get it any other way. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #14475: Vietnamese for king, eh!!!!!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10405: An invalid grid as there are at least 2 solutions- move palin herring and sturgeon around (6 years, 4 months ago)

Me @ #14460: Is Tony Blackburn still on (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #10405: Red herrings, tuna cod and haddock. Great! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #48: Managed a 10, but not without effort. Couldn't see any crossovers. Challenging enough without them though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #2297: Liked it very much. Tricky but accessible. (6 years, 4 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14707: Hoover started out as a brand name but is now used uncapitalised as a noun and a verb, regardless of the brand of vacuum cleaner being used. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15030: Haven't seen the films or taken any interest in Broadway but managed 5/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Endpaper @ #15029: Clever idea! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15017: Tough challenge but fairly fair. Never heard of "cria" or "puggle". (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15028: 0/10 And I don't really feel bad about it. This board was designed for someone else. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15029: 7/10 these kind of boards just don't have a starting point, which makes them pretty difficult. Got a bit lucky to clear it. It was fun enough, but pretty different from what I've seen on TV. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15009: Liked it, cheers Andy. 7/10 thanks to being the wrong vintage to have grown up with the video game ;) (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15011: 5/10 for me. I fell into the same trap as the baboon. Thanks for the testing grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #15013: Very nicely done. Liked the cricket group especially. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15027: Too specialized for me. One for the vieo-gamers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15029: Squareeyes. See comment below. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15029: If you liked this, try 15026 by Koshatnik. A clever one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

squareeyes @ #15029: What a brilliant idea, I wish I had thought of this (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15011: Urbanbaboon. You're right about "out" following the "throw" group of course. So many verbs can be followed by "up", "off", "back" etc. I try to avoid such connections and didn't include "over" as a prefix meaning "too much" for the same reason. After all, this is The Wall not The Weakest Link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Alison @ #13408: London, Belfast, Saint Helier, Douglas. The last two are Not capital cities of the British Isles. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15026: Loved it! Having found one group, I caught on and the rest followed. Five stars. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15029: NSKR: no specialist knowledge required. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Misret Tom @ #15024: A fiendish twist on familiar themes. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Misret Tom @ #15025: Very good, stomach group especially. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15026: Ha! 10/10 fell into place once I grokked your gimmick. Lots of fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15025: NSKR, hear hear! Great stuff and still difficult enough. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15026: 3/10....well aren't we a clever one? I'm impressed (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #3: Thought I tried the 1st grid (7/10) a lot more straightforward than life around grid 15000 (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #7427: 6/10 easily could've been 10 but I typed something too narrow on one, and knew the other but typed in a different thing. Fair challenge. Solid. Moroni is the federal capital of Comoros (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #11763: 4/10..lots of negative comments. Reasonably guessable. Maybe a little too much of one thing. But enjoyable (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15025: 4/10, actually 3 but I got the Stomach line right just a different not taken word. Fair challenge. Thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

Miss B @ #7427: Way too obscure and just adding a letter at the end is ridiculous. And Moroni is the capital of where? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15025: NSKR: no specialist knowledge required. I'd like to see more grids like this so that's the kind I'm submitting. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15023: Too much specialist knowledge required for my taste. Not complaining as it was labled as hard. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #15009: Managed 10/10 on this, though I think some of the song(s) are credited to the Jacksons or Michael Jackson. No problem with that, however, and I enjoyed this challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #15008: Not great for me either, just 4/10. Good grid, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #15005: Only 6/10 on this one for me too. Good challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15013: Right up my street. Nice balance of crossovers and almost no special knowledge required. "Almost" because I hadn't heard of a couple of the Beatles songs and I used up my lives by including "revolution" in the French group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #15003: You scored one more than I did on this grid, FirstGofer. This was very, very tough indeed. What a challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15023: a toughie but a goodie. Identified all the groups but didn't know the Split connection and couldn't quite pinpoint the Lear answer. Thanks for an enjoyable challenge :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #15013: 7/10 - using the singular for the cricket group was inspired - tiny change but it totally threw me! 👏 (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15011: 4/10..one more if my incorrect but valid reason for the Throw line (can all precede the word out) counted (6 years, 4 months ago)

Primrose @ #11763: Absolute crap. Depends on knowledge of one small area. No crossovers. Nothing clever. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14995: 10/10 thanks. First time I ever felt an advantage being American. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15015: 5/10 some out there stuff. enjoyed the challenge (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15024: 6/10..the Callisto line had one killer crossover. Well-done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Graham @ #15013: I loved it. I thought there were lots of cross-overs to spice things up! (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15023: Laughed out loud at "Stand" when I noticed the connection. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #15001: Another super puzzle. Loved the cullen skink connection. Gained a full house on this and thank you for setting it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14999: Great grid. I especially liked the sedentary link and only saw the honkey connection at the last minute though I had the group identified for a while. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14995: I enjoyed this, as I do with all your grids, and managed 10/10 despite the tricky crossovers. Thanks for yet another fine puzzle. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15013: 5/10...Clear and playable, Good clean fun. also 5 in the Miracle group...Prince's guys. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15016: 2/10 wow..rough. A little culturally out of my league, so I don't feel I can accurately review (from USA) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15015: I see where Lebamski was coming from... Le Français call France... La France. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15017: 3/10 pretty good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15015: @JonBob: You're absolutely right, I was thinking of 'French'. 'France' absolutely fits, I stand corrected. Apologies, Nico! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15013: Thought I'd try an easier one for a change! There are 7 that would fit into the Horn group and 5 into the Social group. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15017: I stand corrected... :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15015: Why don't you think France fits? Seems right to me. Agreed on the obscurity, though. I scored a whopping 2. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Spoonbill @ #15017: I thought that too so googled it and apparently it’s a young platypus! (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #15011: Shy was difficult for me as well, but I got it through elimination eventually. A really fun challenge! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15017: Failed on this one. Although, would note that Puggle doesn't fit in the group you put it in - it's a cross between a Pug and a Beagle. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15015: Agree with Lebamski on the God & France. I entered aerospace and aircraft and was incorrect so only 4 for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15013: Could do with a few more crossovers to up the challenge. An enjoyable grid nonetheless. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15014: Easy as there's only one crossover. Also, take care on what's accepted as a correct answer - I also gave right answers which weren't accepted. Watch your spelling too! A nice attempt. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Nico very dumb @ #15014: I put stations and got it wrong. I put marvel, and got it wrong. I put DC, and got it wrong (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15015: Some nice ideas, but the 'God' connection is so obscure I doubt many people at all would get it in three minutes. 'France' also doesn't fit its group connection. Take a bit more care and this could be an enjoyable grid. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #583: Enjoyable and accessible. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15011: A big shoal of red herrings contributed to a very decent challenge... and Shy threw me ;-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15010: 3/10 - didn't enter the acronym so didn't get correct for Skin Colour group. Agree with Orlando on other groups... plus Cool appears in different order in the UK. Thanks for the challenge! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14862: Beaten by this one. Liked the hidden months. (6 years, 4 months ago)

jefco @ #15007: I agree with Orlando. Its a bit of a wank really. Maybe try something not so in your personal zone. (6 years, 4 months ago)

jefco @ #14995: Good grid that wasn't to left field for me. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15009: Missed the xenia link but so 7/10 although put the 4 together because they seemed to 'fit'. Good grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15008: Ouch! My head hurts. All makes sense when resolved and very clever, but I couldn't make the connections. 1/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14947: There's one thing that could go wrong. Having submitted the grid I noticed that "madam" and "radar" are interchangeable but nobody seems to have noticed. Pity there's no way to edit one's grids after submitting them. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14947: Lebamski. I just wrote "palindromes" as the link. What could go wrong? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15010: Just 4/10. The "skip" and "below" groups are hard to spot, even after the grid is resolved. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15009: Good one Leilita. I suppose that link might be quite easy for my generation (I'm 31), having grown up with the video game. (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #15009: 7/10 just got the wrong CBS link. Am clearly a total nerd for getting the Xenia link right!!! Great fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15005: Either theres a "Soloman" in the bible which google has overlooked, or Solomon and Samson are interchangeable. Massively frustrating as knew what all 4 groups were very quickly, but still only 4/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #14858: Tube stops not accepted for London Underground stations. V frustrating. A good grid though! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #14836: Yeah, agree with everyone below — clearly shops should be accepted. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #14803: Too easy. Would lower difficulty. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lu @ #14919: Good table, pretty straightforward. Frustrating that I lost two points for smell vs. smells, and computer games vs. video games. (6 years, 4 months ago)

jools @ #12470: would have got it a lot quicker if you could spell spurn. This is a word game!! Agree with Nellington, you wouldn't accept 3 of my answers even though I was correct. Infuriating! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15009: 4/10 pretty good. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14986: Liked this one. Tricky but doable. Couldn't sort the knots from the numbers. 6/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #15005: Good one - also scored 6/10. As with a couple below me, you got me with the Judy clue. Well done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Oliver @ #14440: Who's Robert Harris? (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14977: 4/10 (1 on front end only). Tough but fair. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15003: Fairly fiendish, as labled. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15003: 0 for me. I prefer grids that require less specialized knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #15007: Not too the interesting for the average solver. There seem to be lots of grids that require specialist knowledge on the main page. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15001: Nice run. 7/10 Hard but with enough clues to discover. Fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #15001: Spent about a minute trying to anagram "Unicorn Ear" before the penny finally dropped (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jody @ #7665: Top top grid, thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #15005: Great red herrings!! Only picked one group correctly but got all the connections when I saw the combos in front of me! 👏 (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #15001: Didn’t accept “pants” for the thong group 😂 other than that good grid with fun crossovers! (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #14995: Nice crossovers! 7/10 didn’t know the rhinestone cowboy group connection :-( (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14988: Some nice ideas in here, but your execution needs to be tighter. The 'Fell' connection is a bit flimsy, and the explanation of one of the other groups with numbers next to names made very little sense to me! A nice attempt, I look forward to seeing what you can produce in future. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15003: 3/10 all on the backend, it was like a whole grid of red herrings. Not my favorite (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #15005: 6/10 clever on the red herring. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14995: So close. I saw all the connections but couldn't sort out the final two groups in 3 lives because I wasn't familiar with Marriott. 6/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RBR45 @ #14993: Loves this grid 10/10 - liked the crossovers and appreciate the pedantry (6 years, 4 months ago)

RBR45 @ #14995: managed this one 10/10 - thankful for my Dads taste in music whilst growing up. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14999: Got 1/10. Tried so hard to get the Egg connection that I pretty much abandoned anything else, must have been through every single alternative without actually getting the group. That was frustrating haha. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bacon Butty @ #15001: 10/10, great grid with good variety of groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15005: I spotted the four connections fairly early so managed to solve this one. Enjoyable with a few good crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14993: @FirstGofer pedantry aside, it's still a horse. I accept this would make a wider group than the one you intended, but it's still a group. While what constitutes a valid group is fuzzy - 'noun' being clearly invalid - I personally would not have written this even if i could think of it! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15001: @Lebamski... I considered a broader answer for that group, but opted to be specific. Consider your score 9/10! :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14995: Managed to crack this one for 10/10. A great balance of crossovers and varied connections. Great stuff. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #15001: Spotted all the groups, but I wasn't specific enough on the 'Bloomers' group. A fine grid with some clever crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #15003: A clever grid - I saw the Bridges connection immediately, but with 7 people fitting into that group, I couldn't finish and ended up with only 1/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ezra @ #10274: Probably several other ways to solve the same grid (with other incredibly arbitrary connections), so it's not a unique, only-one-solution puzzle as it SHOULD be. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ezra @ #10260: Down Syndrome (not "Down's" because English physician John Langdon Down, who characterized the condition, did not actually have it -- 's connotes ownership or possession) is NOT a disease. So the inclusion in this category is incorrect in TWO ways. LAZY compilation! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14999: Nice grid, good crossovers. Solved it quickly (for me!) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14993: Thanks for all the feedback! @Mister Tom - strictly speaking, bronco and mustang are not interchangeable in this instance, as a bronco is any breed of untrained/untamed horse that bucks. Pedantic, I know, but if there's any place for pendantry, it's here :-) :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14993: You can swap bronco and mustang for valid groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Coochies @ #14993: Tremendous grid, well done (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14993: Same as Urban, lots of threes for me. Couldn't get any groups in the end but identified 3 links afterwards, missing the Tennessee. Cheers for a tough one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

pedant @ #14978: the correct spelling is "hieroglyphs" unfortunately (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14993: A lot of gaps in my knowledge here, but managed 7/10 with educated guesses. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ben @ #14989: Not bad but James and Gordon are interchangable (both trains in Thomas the Tank Engine and both famous Browns). (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14993: This took a bit of working out but I got there in the end. Thank you for the tricky challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14990: Liked this one very much, FirstGofer, and managed to gain a full house on this one despite the misdirection of the crossovers. Thank you for another fine grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14989: I didn't get the J connection either so 7/10 for me too. Good grid, thank you for setting. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14987: Enjoyed this one, though I wasn't sure about the link involving Yearling but couldn't suggest anything else so I managed 10/10. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14993: 6/10 found a lot of groups of threes, unfortunately 4 is required. Lots of challenging crossovers...Good solid difficult board (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14986: Great grid.Managed to get the full house on this after I figured out the Popeye Doyle link. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14985: Good grid and one that was too tough for us. One group and connection only. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #9067: Git 3 lines straight away but not familiar with Jim Carey movies! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14990: 5/10 Enjoyed the mix. Can't believe I missed the Buckingham line. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14990: Enjoyable and fair. Fortunately for me i spotted moscow early :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #8199: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #14432: Hello from Nailsworth (6 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #14427: No thanks, no fun, no point, lost will to live. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #12138: Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #13420: Nice (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14986: Is this your first grid, Scott? Haha, cheers mate, nice one. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Scott @ #14986: Legitimately the best grid I've done. I got 10/10. Perfect balance of difficulty. Very satisfying. Good crossovers. I'm proud of you Andy P (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #186: not allow dog breeds!!!! Really (6 years, 4 months ago)

Leilita @ #14960: Quite easy to pick the right groups - I knew that they were connected just not how all of them were connected! Also happy to be corrected but Arendt all the names in the Cleopatra group also characters in Shakespeare’s Antony & Cleopatra? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Leilita @ #14990: Great grid with interesting crossovers! Gutted I didn’t chinook group connection - too much of a vegetarian clearly!! 7/10 scored (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #10570: what on earth is Lamb L or Corn S (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #11803: How is Ellie Goulding a band or even Eminem and even 50 cent!!! Maroon 5 is the only band there!!! Musicians Very poor (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14986: A really fun one! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14987: Simple but effective crossovers. Deceptively challenging and very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14990: Inspired crossovers, very tough but very enjoyable. Completely missed the 'North Atlantic' group connection until I saw the grid resolved, kicking myself for missing it. A brilliant grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #13942: Too many mistakes. Shouldn't be capital letters for Antartica or Africa and Technically the earth isn't in the sky as the sky is around the earth (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #14046: CLOTHES SHOPS SHOULD BE ALLOWED (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mal knox @ #583: Fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #14205: ABCD CAN BE VITAMINS TOO SO THIS IS POOR (6 years, 4 months ago)

EDWARD @ #14146: CHAMPIONS LEABUE???? HOW DO THEY REPRESENT THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE? WORLD LEADERS IS NOT EXCEPTED,THAT ISN'T POLOTICS!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14989: Nice one! Didn't get the J connection, so only 7/10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14986: Very satisfying. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Stephen @ #14988: There is no such thing as a seagull. They are herring gulls or other types (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14988: Found this one very hard. I put the correct answers for the Fell and Cook groups but neither accepted. Would be helpful to include and explanation of the correct answer on all solutions (i.e. Taylor group). I'm sure names and years will be of no help to non-UK users! Thanks for setting (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14987: Excellent cheers. Scored 7/10 after not cracking the Princeton link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14985: A mighty two points! Too hard for me but a cleaver grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Phil @ #14973: over feed and hand feed?? (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14967: Unravelled the groups and managed three connections but I was nowhere near the fourth. Thanks for the challenge! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14979: A fine grid, thank you for setting. The brilliant and fiendish group others have mentioned stopped me claiming a full house. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14987: Nice one! Cracked it quickly and enjoyed it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14986: A cracking grid as usual, thanks Andy. 7/10 for me. Can't believe I failed to untangle the slip group (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14986: Very enjoyable, 7/10 for me. Some great crossovers. Thanks very much! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14985: Some nice ideas, but a couple of connections are maybe a little too obscure to make them achievable. A challenging grid which I enjoyed however. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Angry of Tunbridge @ #45: Agree with the others, must do better puzzGrid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14986: Excellent - really enjoyed this one. A nice mix of categories, good crossovers. Thank you! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14985: 4/10 - saw the Chessboard and Louvre groups very quickly but the Fedex/Unilever groups stumped me. Couldn't see the connections even with the groups resolved. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Phil @ #14985: The zero connection is a tad obscure (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14967: 7/10 got the homophone one right (based on a hopeful guess, due to pronunciation differences), don't see it as that big a deal. Got the zebra line but no clue as to meaning (a cultural thing) after eliminating T. I think this was pretty good.. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14985: Hah, used a word to long for a box, Need to stop a 16 characters. "Hemidemisemiquaver" btw (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14921: Couldn't find the groups but knew all the connections. Another nice one.Enjoyed the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14979: 6/10 got a little lucky with the Martini Racing line (got it but I thought it was 2nds), seems clearer once answer known. Missed Detail line which was probably your cleverest. Nice to play. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14978: Liked this one very much. No specialized knowledge required and a good balance of crossovers. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #14931: For synonyms of 'healthy', that are also all words that can be followed by -ness. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Sparky @ #5633: Tough for a non-brit to solve, very cool! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14932: Bob,I think I wrote "letter homophones" and "parts of body". I'm not sure. You got it right anyway. It's a bit tricky to predict what solvers might write. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bob @ #14932: Got all the groups quite easily, but most of my answers for the connections were rejected. Animals, letters, body parts. All marked incorrect. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14978: 4/10, could've been six but I guess I reversed the ei in heiroglyphs, not sure what happened with hills. I liked it, wished for a few less beetles, but clever & fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Sparky @ #8403: There's an alternative valid connected group - replace the first letter with 'B' to get a valid word. There's even a red herring for it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

leilita @ #14858: Fun grid but “families” (plural) was counted as incorrect for the Lighthouse etc group :-( (6 years, 4 months ago)

Johnny @ #14970: Terrific grid. Deserves a shot at the 'best grids' list. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14978: Wonderful variety of eligibility for the groups. 5 stars (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14979: Much too good for me (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #14979: Yep (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14979: Clever, scored 5/10, struggled with Garrison and Georgia groups. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Electric trousers @ #14662: Got stuck on ‘territoty’ thinking it was an anagram rather than a spelling mistake . (6 years, 4 months ago)

LB @ #5063: Didn't accept facial features:( (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14978: @Lebamski. B***er! Apologies... my typing has gone haywire, but I did lose a chunk of my finger 2 days ago. Don't ask! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Deano @ #14970: Great grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14979: And me! This was a very good grid with great crossovers; the Georgia group is very clever indeed. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14979: Fully agreed! That's the one that tripped me up too. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14978: Very good grid with crossovers; got the connections but not all the groups in the time. Thank you for the usual fine challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14978: Lovely. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14977: 6/10. Couldn't untangle the last two but got the connections. Some specialized knowledge here but I happened to have it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14978: Be careful with spelling, as the answer for the 'Scarab' group has a mistake (I put the correct spelling and missed out on the point!) Other than that, an enjoyable and challenging grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14979: A great challenge, disappointed I didn't recognise the 'Georgia' group as it's inspired. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14974: Great grid. 7/10 for me as I did not get the WW connection which is inexcusable as I watched the first two series of it! A fine challenge, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Fred @ #14960: Told me I was wrong when I used Greek not Hellenic! Would not describe this as medium difficulty (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14967: @Paddy @FirstGofer @bonehead: I think homophones are somewhat dependent on accent/pronunciation, so that may be where the difference of opinion has sprung from. As three of you have raised it as an issue, however, I will take it on the chin as a flaw in this grid. Please award yourselves additional point/s as you see fit, and I'll be more careful next time! :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14977: Tough, but a good mix of things here. Scored 4/10 after not getting the Quantum or the Set groups. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

GeordieBoy @ #14960: Way too specialist - tougher than a medium (6 years, 4 months ago)

Paddy @ #14967: Only 3 out of the 4 "homophones" actually are. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14885: Were you drunk mate? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14960: Very much my wheelhouse knowledge wise but could use more cross overs. Also didn't accept enemies of Augustus for Lepidus connection. Still fun though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #14978: Good grid, wouldnt say it was hard but i enjoyed it (6 years, 4 months ago)

earthsalibra @ #13037: This one was fun. Easy, but fun. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14978: Caught me out with the Scarab. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14974: Haven't seen the WW! But a well constructed grid with good crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14973: If they are rated less than 3 stars they disappear, unless you change the filter at the top. Had it happen to one of mine. :-( (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14970: I had never heard of BM x3... learnt something! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14969: 2/10... @urbanbaboon: I can't claim it was a cultural thing, I just couldn't see the groups or answers. Not heard of/seen the Sardines answer. Well put together grid, Lebamski... My poor performance is not reflection on your skills :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14967: Good... as always! Missed the homophones... although not 100% convinced by serious. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bryan @ #14966: Managed to find one group somehow. Seems to require specialized knowledge but better this than characters from TV shows I've never watched or manufacturers of surfing equipment. All specialized topics but this grid doesn't seem trivial. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14931: I agree with bonehead that it is harsh not accepting force as the link. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14899: Nonsense grid. Ignore. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14970: Enjoyed this and managed a full house. I didn't recognise Mary in her group but guessed the connection from those around her. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14969: 3/10 for me thanks to bring rubbish at UK TV. I liked the grass and great lord groups in particular. Thanks for an excellent grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14933: Quite straightforward but well put together. Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

LB @ #12214: Annoying that it didn't accept numbers written as words! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #14970: Thought you'd muddled Hail Marys....................but you hadn't. Great grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14973: One or two regulars might recognize this grid. It was originally uploaded as 14930 but mysteriously disappeared within hours. As those who tried it seemed to like it, I've resubmitted it. So what happens to grids that disappear? Are they stolen by the BBC? (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #14967: pretty good except for the (non) homophones. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14970: Awesome grid. I particularly like the ones where as soon as I look at them, I doubt I'll be getting more than about 4 points, and then I end up getting full marks anyway. Cheers! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14944: Much the same as FirstGofer, I may have done better if I hadn't spent so much time looking for a West Wing connection that wasn't there. A fun grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

zac tudor @ #2652: dan E the anagrams DID have links " CATS" is a musical and CAST is a band? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14970: Yah, centipede is an arthropod. Otherwise, what urbanbaboon said (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14969: 3/10...I like when my poor score makes me feel stupid, but then I see the answers and I can slough it off as a "cultural thing" (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14970: 4/10, would have been more if I let go of Bloody Mary as a drink. Nice craftsmanship, I can applaud when the creator beats me nicely. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Aetees @ #14970: @Bonehead That's a good point. I am not actually sure what they are classed as. Arthropods? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14967: @RossChris: I have to admit 'Telegram' didn't even come to mind (to my shame!), although I would definitely use it if I was making the grid again. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14969: @RossChris: Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it - and feel free to get carried away (figuratively not literally) in any comments on my grids in future! (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #14970: is a centipded an insect? I think it has slightly more than the requisite number of legs (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #14969: Very entertaining. Good explanations too. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14970: This was indeed a very enjoyable grid with great crossovers. I managed to crack it within the time. Super challenge and well put together, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14969: Got carried away there (probably should be carried away) and forgot to say thank you for a fine grid with great connections and tricky crossovers. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14969: I have forgotten to change the setting more than once! 7/10 for me; didn't get the empty orchestra connection though of course I know what word that refers to. The vows made me smile. Chris and I have been together for a long, long time and I have advised her that if we ever wed the vows will be restricted to one traditional word. Obey, obey, obey. She won't marry me!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14967: Very enjoyable grid, though I didn't get the caster connection even with the group correctly formed; and for the uncle connection I would not have been able to resist using telegram. Great puzzle, as usual; hank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14923: 7/10 but didn't feel I deserved it. Spotted the song and then the rest was guesswork. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14970: Enjoyable and challenging. Deceptively simple connections with some brilliant crossovers. A fantastic grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Yos @ #8858: Love it (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14969: N.B: Sorry, this shouldn't be set at 'Very Easy'. Pitched it at 'Hard' but forgot to change the setting! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #9646: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #220: Excellent one, need to know your Bond girls! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14935: Three very similar connections make this particularly tough, but limit the variety here. A good challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14944: Very tough with some pretty esoteric connections. Enjoyable and well put together though. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14960: Not sure if this was intended for general. It was very specific and didn't have anycrossovers I could see. Took about 30 seconds to get 7/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

JOHNJ @ #14948: I love this quiz - one of the best I've done (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14943: 10/10 - I recognised the "Sawyer" group immediately, which helped with the rest. A great grid. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14945: I'm kicking myself for not seeing the "Henry" group connection. Some nice ideas, and a fun challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14947: Some great connections and crossovers. I put the correct answer for the "Stats" group but this wasn't accepted, however. Enjoyable other than that. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14946: I should have spotted at least one more connection (the "Knee" group). Some imaginative crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14960: Got the wall sorted into groups within 30 seconds but didn't identify two of the connections and so 6/10 was the best I could manage. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14955: No, it isn't because how does the solver know which component goes into which link? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14955: Not good form to have identical clues in different groups. Some nice ideas however. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14948: A full house on this one. I think the connections here are great, especially the thant link though that component could only ever signify one thing. Thank you for a superb grud. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14948: Some nice ideas, but I'm not convinced that "Albert Tein" clue fits with the rest in that group. Good fun though. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14947: Managed to get the maximum on this one. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14948: I missed that group too! Just a note... should have been Albert Stein (no S in one). Thanks for a top puzzle (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14946: Made sense once I saw the groups. Got 2 of the connections, (Sophie and Penguin but no groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14944: One group, one connection. A real toughie, but learnt a few things! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14943: ditto (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14935: Got all the connections but couldn't get the groups in time as there were so many crossovers... 9 would have worked for the Shoot group and 6 for the bowled group so it was more a matter of luck than skill picking the right combo. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14933: 10/10 - good grid. thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14932: 10/10 - straightforward and fun (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5916: Easy but satisfying (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14925: 5/10... got the groups but not all the connections. clever grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #14948: I also got 7/10 because of the U group and likewise, hindsight makes it seem facepalmingly obvious. Great grid, really enjoyable!! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5919: me neither! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14948: That was a nice creative break from the usual style of grid, very clever. Scored 7/10 after not being able to name the "2" group but in retrospect it looks very gettable. Cheers! (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14947: 5/10...tough board, thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5920: Couldn't agree more with darto! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5920: Couldn't agree more with darto! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5923: Gibberish. (6 years, 4 months ago)

@urbanbaboon @ #14933: 10/10...Yippee. Thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #14931: I think "force" should be enough (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #14946: right said fred:TWO-hit wonder (Deeply Dippy - No 1 hit) Tricky grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14946: One group and connection only in this one. Simply too difficult for me, unfamiliar with the connections. Good grid, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14945: 2/10 for me. One group and one connection. Normally on a sunny afternoon I blame poor performance on Pimms or similar alcoholic beverages but I was well beaten by most of this grid. Great challenge, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14944: Found one group and two connections, the second of which was a guess based on the Children's Crusade. Tough and challenging, thank you for a real test. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14943: Two groups and connections only. The sawyer and billabong groups eluded me completely. Great challenge, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14939: Was struggling with this until the last minute and then spotted one link, followed by another. Managed to find the groups by the end with more than a little bit of luck but failed to identify every connection. A fine test, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14935: Had to work to get this as I thought "off" might be a connection but I got there is the end. The overlaps add to the challenge, IMO, and so have no issue with these. Thank you for the tough challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14933: Enjoyed this one. Pisa is spelt with an s and not a z but it was clear what you meant and was not misleading. Thanks for the grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14945: 4/10, enjoyable (one line was out of my cultural knowledge, but still good fun---just explaining the low score) (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14932: Thank you for the puzzle. Got the maximum score as the links used common themes. Good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14931: Managed to get 10/10 as well. Enjoyed this very much, thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14931: (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #14925: As entertaining as it was tough. And I learned a little too. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bryan @ #14902: Nice one. The 11 link was hard. Never heard of chapter 11. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bryan @ #14933: Nice one. The ancient Greek link a bit specialized but otherwise accessible. Thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Endpaper @ #3594: Nice ideas (6 years, 4 months ago)

Sam @ #14928: 7/10 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lyd @ #14928: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joanne March @ #14928: (6 years, 4 months ago)

Antonio @ #14928: 😜 (6 years, 4 months ago)

Anonymus @ #14928: 😥 (6 years, 4 months ago)

CHRIS @ #14933: Decent simple quick grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #14935: I got some of the ideas but so many crossovers! I thought under... could also be an answer for the upper... group (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14931: Fun while it lasted. Which is the point i guess (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14935: Well im hardly in a position to complain... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Orlando @ #14931: Thanks Andy. I'll try to keep the standard up. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14935: In retrospect, there are too many overlaps between two of the groups and I could have done these same ideas a lot better. Apologies in advance. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bryan @ #14884: Nice one. Tough but fair. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14932: Good fun, thanks for setting. The flow group was the last in and the most satisfying. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14930: Oof scored 1/10 very tough. Cheers though (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14931: Loved it, and scored 10 to boot. Really good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14932: Tough one, scored 4/10, usually I'm good at the wordsy ones but they escaped me here. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14933: That was a fun one. Scored 7/10 after it didn't accept "characters from Greek mythology" although maybe you were right to be specific about it. Cheers (6 years, 4 months ago)

Roopgrockie @ #13037: Ha ha !!! Very clever (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5930: Title of 'government' group seems odd. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Redkite @ #5932: Jon boat ? (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bryan @ #14930: My pleasure, RossChriss. Thanks for the feedback. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14930: Good grid with links that made me have to think to spot them. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14925: Managed 10/10 on this but only just within the time. The T E Shaw link had to be one type of component or another and I just spotted the connection at the last second. Thank you for a good test of knowledge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Bryan @ #14263: Nice one. I wasted time looking for a group of characters from "Toad of Toad Hall". (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14922: Scored 5/10, the Tribes group did me there. Well done, a pretty good grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

frankie @ #14903: Only got the card games connection, no where near enough time to complete the grid (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14903: four rows of anagrams that you first need to decipher before making connections, I feel is a bit too much. There's only three minutes. Might I suggest, considering your love of anagrams, limiting future grids to one row, maybe 6 boxes total. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14903: four rows of anagrams that you first need to decipher before making connections, I feel is a bit too much. There's only three minutes. Might I suggest, considering your love of anagrams, limiting future grids to one row, maybe 6 boxes total. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14914: Tough one 4/10. normally you see such similar words you wish it would be more distinct...but this one is well crafted as to be very distinct in its similarities. Nicely done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14914: Lots of fun and a superbly built grid. Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14904: Thank you for a brilliant and brain-racking grid. 4/10 for me, and I was pleased with that! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14920: Nice grid, thank you. I managed 7/10, missing the Dolph connection (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14924: 6/10 for me. Had the connections but couldn't disentangle the Defoe and Clarkson groups. Thanks for a quality grid with a herring for every group (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14920: 4/10, Nicely formed but I'm culturally out of the loop on half this one. But still fun to try. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14919: 10/10..enjoyable (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14922: 10/10 I always figure if I get it it can't be to hard. Solidly put together, thought the dwarves could be a bit cliche, but having the 2 red herrings made it work. Thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14924: 5/10 I'm ok with that, got all four when the board was revealed. Solid game. thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joan @ #14890: Nice one! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Joan @ #14923: Entertaining! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14924: You guys are too smart and intellectual if that's the one you missed. I thought that was the easiest haha. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14921: I just had a bunch of notes on numbers (for creation). 5/10 should've been 6 Wasn't able to get the Fassbender or Verboten line. Fun to play (note: when doing numbers you need both Forty and 40 marked.)...thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14923: Fun. Theres a surprising number of birds which fit in the ducks group! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ophelia @ #13421: I failed to identify a single group before time ran out, but got all connections. That's what I call a major D'oh experience. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Ophelia @ #858: Sneaky, sneaky... having Wizard of Oz-related terms as a gigantic red herring! But it was immensely satisfying to get at least two groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14924: 7/10... same issues as RossChris. I'm not copying, sir, honest! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14923: 4/10... hard one (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14924: Got the groups and three of the link but Kenny eluded me, despite him being the only one I have heard of! Good grid, thanks. (6 years, 4 months ago)

gc @ #8354: sorry but v poor (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14923: It was indeed a tough but interesting challenge. Thank you for setting it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #14914: Clever indeed. Well done. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14923: Wow that was tough, scored 2/10, but a fun theme. I was convinced there were sports teams hiding away in there but it wasn't to be, haha. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14919: Well fair play. I've been out of the loop with video games loop for a while. And was in hospital all summer when it came out. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14922: Didn't spot the Tribes connection but found the groups and got the other connections. Chris gave me the Marilyn Monroe link. Thanks for another enjoyable grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14921: Thought you would do a number on us with that one, did you? Well, I have a couple of numbers for you - 10/10!!! That said, a couple of the group components were guesses as I didn't see how they fitted into the links I had identified. Thank you for a fine test. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14920: Good grid and I managed a full house. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14919: Got the groups arranged in just 20 seconds and wasn't sure about the Fortnite group so it was a guess based on two answers; but it was right so I too solved the wall. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14918: Super challenge. Found all the groups but did not identify the Icarus connection which cost me the maximum. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14917: 7/10 for me too. Didn't get the soap connection despite recalling that particular component. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14916: Great grid, Mister Tom, and I managed to do it within the time, but only just. I only spotted the Brooklyn connection when the groups were confirmed. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Matt @ #14919: Gotta work on your capitalisation, and Andy P, Fortnite is like the biggest game at the moment. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14920: Thanks Andy! Good grid... missed the Jet Li connection though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14919: Agree with Andy P...but solved it quickly. I used the windsor group a few days ago, so that helped! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14918: Excellent grid despite my abject failure. Dismissed the solution to the Heat of Gold group despite that being my first instinct. All so obvious once the answers were revealed. Good grid :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14917: 7/10 - couldn't get the plank solution. @urbanbaboon - we allow you the 7/10! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Andy P @ #14919: Some inconsistencies with capitalisation there, and it didn't accept "synonyms of smell" for the synonyms of smell. The video games one was difficult, I have honestly never heard of Ruby Dung or Fortnite. Cheers for the grid though. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14916: Good grid... 7/10 - the southgate solution eluded me! Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14915: Original... enjoyed it. Like RC it was Sinnet (and Strad) that cracked the code for me. I too missed the pat connection - opted for verbs or actions. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14914: Inspired... difficult but worth the effort. 5/10 for me... just didn't crack the groups in time. Great grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

bubbles devire @ #14919: we created it its great shut up bruv (6 years, 4 months ago)

Louis @ #12371: Did not get point for putting cakes in types of cake! Also, too easy. Solved it in thirty seconds. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14917: Dont think this has a unique solution because of purple rain and little red corverre (6 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #14884: Toast I came here to watch The Blues in their European final (rugby) that was played last night in Bilbao. They won, yahoo, which is a small comfort because due to poor planning and rubbishy map reading skills I'm not even in the right country... Ne'r mind there's always Eurovision. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14917: 6/10 could have 7 if I spelled colors with a U. Nice Board, no idea on the one line, but that's ok (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lana Preston @ #14883: Men of the cloth ... (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lana Preston @ #14916: Ooft (6 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #14915: I couldnt get 2 of the connections, so just typed "backwards" - and they both came up as correct! (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14914: Splendid stuff. I did one of these with P once, but i forgive you :-p (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14915: Thrown by the herring, damnit - which made all the difference. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14884: Feeling flushed with success (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14886: 'Cappuccino' maybe gave it away a little but Nothing wrong with the odd easy puzzle and it did have a good few false leads. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14902: Woooo! Medium clearly my level this evening. Nice idea to mix and match formats (6 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14901: Another good grid which i managed to get absolutely nowhere near. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14915: A very nice idea. Noticed sinnet right away which provided the key to the puzzle. Though I identified the groups I did not get the pat connection. Good challenge, thank you for something different. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14909: Nice in general! The animal groups seemed a bit arbitrary. I think that kind of connection would work better with only one group of animals, and then some extras that serve as crossovers to other groups. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Only Me @ #14910: 4/10 also. Great grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14907: Only 5/10 but I really enjoyed it. Made some educated guesses. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14914: This is a very, very, VERY clever grid. Excellent wordplay in three of the connections. I did manage to get the maximum score as a cursory glance suggested there was much wordplay involved so I had an idea what to look for. To have every answer beginning with the same letter shows genius in construction. Well done and thank you so very much. (6 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #14884: Blues I had you down for the Barmy Army but never for a fan of musical kitsch so I assume you are there not to listen but to sing our entry in the Eurovision. Try gargling with something stronger than wine (I believe the gravelly Tom Waits sound is in this year) and keep moving - you'll be much harder to hit. (6 years, 4 months ago)

JonBob @ #14903: I clocked the gimmick right away and found a couple items (enough to know two groups), but there just wasn't time to solve the anagrams. They get 30 seconds for the Conundrum! :-) Still enjoyed it. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14910: Only 4/10 for me. I did not get the cassette or vivid connections, and when I saw the solutions I wondered why I didn't get them but you beat me with the links. Great grid, as per usual, and thank you for the test. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14909: Sorted out some groups but did not get any of the connections so the groups were based on the structure of the components. Beaten all ends up with this one. Tough challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jody @ #14910: Good grid. We were stumped by mini so looked it up. N was sometimes used for 50 according to wikipedia. So you are just about ok ish! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14909: Not complaining about the cultural differences. I often get them as I lived in CA for a few years (but quite a few years ago!). Thanks for setting the grids - any grid is always appreciated (unless it's one of these recent 'no connection' oddities!) (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14909: Most of these have a UK bent so I'm kind of used to getting 4 or 5 out of 10 when I play because I don't know TV presenters or Snooker players. I know the feeling. Trying to get a good balance, but not quite there...just missed the one answer row...sorry & Thanks for feed back. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14910: I'm having a nightmare of a day with typing! Mini is supposed to read 'Midi'. TGIF :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14909: Again, a cultural thing I think. However, I put internet abbreviations which wasn't accepted... it would be helpful if you could include the answer as well as the explanations. Thanks for setting (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14883: 7/10 thanks (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14901: 6/10 probably should have been 7 as the Gershwin line category was close. Stanhope was difficult. Nice. (6 years, 4 months ago)

urbanbaboon @ #14902: 5/10 Numbers are always quite difficult, but the cleverness of the one made it enjoyable. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Dan @ #14898: Unlike the others here, I knew the Calaway group immediately but struggled with some of the others! Great grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14907: Most of it went over my head! One group but two connections when I saw the groups formed so 3/10. A tough grid. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14906: I found all the groups but only identified two of the links so 6/10 for me. Superb grid, a fine challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14904: Agreed, not 'very easy' - but then that's what the user ratings after the grids are for. As a puzzle this is inspired. Challenging and enjoyable, as always. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14907: Some of this went totally over my head, but that's a location thing possibly. Thanks for setting (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14906: Got the numbers clues straight away... it was 909 that gave me the solution, which I guess is unusual! Failed miserably to connect the other 2 groups. A very good grid - enjoyed it despite my low score. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14904: Couldn't disagree more with previous comment. Under the category very easy - certainly not very easy. I got two groups and maybe I did miss things but without a doubt it could be a medium. some of the clues are so wide and varying there is so much to think of "modern romance song" or nat king cole song" when both have had over 50 songs... I like the grid but its the rating I object to as its not very easy (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14904: Brilliant! Clues and crossovers. You've outdone yourself this time. More red herrings than you mention in the answers - very clever construction :-) (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14903: Loved it, loved it, loved it. Managed to gain 10/10 even with the crossover. I hadn't solved every anagram within the time but had enough to get the groups and links before the clock ran out. Great puzzle, thank you so much. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Jammie Noodle @ #13832: When you finish the box, you should have a pirate bag, some coins, a walkie talkie, a torch and a silver key. You will need these to help you in an escape room challenge sometime in your 50th year. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14902: 7/10 for me. I got the groups, despite being led up the garden path by Adele, but overlooked the Chapter link which I ought to have thought of. Great grid and fun to do, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14901: Managed to solve this one. A good challenge, thank you. (6 years, 4 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14893: This one defeated me, only one group and two connections. A fine challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14899: Thanks, FirstGofer. (6 years, 4 months ago)

rabbit @ #14898: 10/10 for me - the Calaway group is precisely within my wheelhouse of useless trivia. Good grid! (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14902: Fast and fun - thanks! The chapter connection was cleverly done (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14891: A wonderfully original grid. I solved it with 19 secs to go. Thanks for setting! (6 years, 4 months ago)

RossChris @ #14898: As with FirstGofer, my lack of knowledge of Calaway cost me the maximum score. Great grid, thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14893: A fine test, thank you RossChris. I found two groups and three connections, and one eluded me completely. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14901: Good grid, but Stanhope group eluded me. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14902: Sorry about the typo - obvs should read Jurassic (6 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14898: This is a cracker, thanks Andy. Bit of a lucky clean sweep for me as I only knew one of the Bollea group (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14851: Am I missing something with the Hack group? I don't understand the solution. Agree about Lucas - doesn't work (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14899: There seems to be a glut of nonsense at the moment. Gridders ignore this puzzle (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14898: Very good grid. My knowledge, or lack thereof, of the profession in the Calaway group prevented my perfect 10. (6 years, 4 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14890: A good point. Those types of questions are the worst. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Benjamin @ #6175: You can swap Lincoln with either Jackson or Madison and still have a valid grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14876: Great grid! Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14868: Thanks Polygotcha. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14893: Ouch. I dont remember the criminologist which meant 3 minutes of futility, despite knowing 3 connections. You win again... (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #12349: Great! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Victoria @ #11672: Answer should accept ‘burrow’ as a keyword. It’s difficult to know how the creator has phrased the answer even if you have correctly identified the connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Polygotcha @ #14885: Absolute snoregasbord of rubbish. Possibly the worst grid I've seen. F-, go to the bottom of the class. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14891: 10/10 on a very interesting grid. Thumbs up here. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Polygotcha @ #14868: Brilliant wall. Got a little confused with a couple of the groups, but didn't take too long to figure out where I'd gone wrong! A+ for effort and a dang good game. (6 years, 5 months ago)

g @ #14887: didn't (still don't) know what a cuban sandwich is but still very good (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14887: Excellent. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14886: I'd have had 10/10 if I had remembered to use British spellings! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14890: The royal house link is the subject of one of the questions I dread turning up in a quiz because getting it right can depend on how and from where the quizmaster is referencing the answer. Who was the last Plantagenet king of England? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14884: Sitting here in Portugal on my hols overlooking the Atlantic sipping cheap cold wine, thanks for the comments you've added to my day... ...just off to the lavatory now though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14893: Much easier, although I scored the same as your quizipedia grid because the Staples group eluded me and I'm unfamiliar with Isles, so failed to identify the groups in time. Another super grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14892: And you call me a sneaky blighter!!! hahaha. I'm as chuffed with my 5/10 as I would be with a 10/10. got the kepple group and connection as well as the Wallace one. Got the Hughes group, but not the solution. That was truly fiendish yet very interesting. Talking of interesting, Rowell also did Countdown and 15-1. yes, I'm a geek! (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14880: I sussed the Oganessian significance immediately, but didn't know the Japan fact so finding the group took too much time. One other geographical group was then easily findable, but the specific connection eluded me. No chance on the other too; too much noise vs. signal. Good but very hard. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14891: @HJBG - Clare Kent is the little known 2nd cousin of Clark. She's shy and avoids the limelight. ;-) @RC - glad you enjoyed it though credit where it's due, inspired by Blues. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14890: RC, you truly are royalty when it comes to solving sneaky grids... I kneel in your presence! :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14422: I got 7/10 and found it easy but have to agree with other comments about the food group (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14426: Questionable (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14437: Sketchy (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14892: One for the enthusiasts of quiz shows on television and radio in Britain, therefore it is rather specialised. This is most probably the most fiendish grid I have ever set with red herrings and crossovers in abundance, but I am confident there is only one perfect solution to the puzzle. It is designed to confuse, mislead and frustrate but I will be delighted to learn that someone has cracked it. The next puzzle will be less devilish; I promise. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14884: Thanks for a medium level grid - just my level! When I got it I laughed out loud at "Privy council" :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14887: My level exactly :-) Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14891: A unique test and I absolutely loved it. No crossovers, of course, but the challenge here is to identify what the components are referring to. Peruvian Ursine Emigre indeed!! That was the first one I got and then I realised the theme of the puzzle. Great grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14890: You sneaky blighter, FirstGofer, putting Anjou in that connection but your little deception didn't work. I still managed 10/10. Thank you for a great grid with tricky crossovers, as they invariably are. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14888: Lebamski - I sometimes put a "stand-out" clue in if I feel the link needs it - but if I am in the mood to be mean then I won't! - so I understand why you did that and thank goodness you did. FirstGofer, you have scored yourself short as 8/10 means four groups and connections and therefore you get two bonus points to make 10/10!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

HJGB @ #14891: Great grid! Who's Clare Kent?! (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14298: Good grid 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14888: @Lebamski - always enjoy your grids... don't always complete them mind! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14881: Very tough unless you're a polyglot (which I'm not!) A fine challenge nonetheless. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #186: Great crossovers. Challenging but enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14878: Enjoyable with some great crossovers. Like others before me, I was blocked by Brandon. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14879: Very tough, a few of the connections need some pretty esoteric knowledge. Still enjoyed the challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14882: Enjoyable and challenging. A couple of the connections felt a little stretched, but I had fun with it. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14890: This one defeated me. I could see three of the connections, but only managed to find the 'Stuart' group in time. A fun challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14888: P.S. Thought the 'Vajazzle' group needed one 'stand out' clue, so to speak... (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14888: @RossChris and @FirstGofer: Thanks for your feedback on this grid and all the others I've done recently, very much appreciated. Always good to know how successful and enjoyable a grid has been, especially from two fine contributors such as yourselves. (6 years, 5 months ago)

VIctoria @ #6384: Keep getting stung by different spellings of the correct answer! (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14778: Easy and enjoyable 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14888: Vajazzle did it for me too!!!!!! Purely in the context of this grid. Didn't get the Gatsby connection, I opted for J, so only 7 for me, but I'm awarding myself 8/10 because it sort of fitted! Great gid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14873: Got only 2 connections, enjoyable clever grid 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14875: Very good grid😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14875: Required some lateral thinking but it fell into place. Thanks for the fine grid and inventive connections (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14887: Like it. Didn't know 2 of the Dagwood group, but guessed correctly because of the 2 I did know. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14888: Good grid. Vajazzle was the one that put me onto that link (a less obvious one and I might not have spotted it) and as for your Henry connection, I would say that it sucks....but it doesn't. Thanks for a fine puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14887: A fun grid and one that I managed to do all right on. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14886: Straightforward as the links are pretty clear but the crossovers make it more of a test. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14884: I thought this grid was superb and liked the links very much and they really made me think. Thank you for a great puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14883: I got two groups quickly as well, then puzzled for a while before I hit on the others. Thank you for the grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14887: Some nice crossovers and misdirection. Simple but enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14883: Simple but with some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14884: Lovely stuff. No piece of cake either though my hangover didn't help.. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14884: A challenging and enjoyable grid. i didn't get the "Waterloo" group connection, but it's inspired. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14885: A warning to others: three of the connections are non-existent. Don't waste your time on this grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14886: Simple but with some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14885: It's a shame that grids like this appear occasionally. Many of us take a fair amount of time and effort setting grids that others will hopefully enjoy as much as we enjoy trying to solve theirs. I can only assume that you derive enjoyment from wasting people's time and set out to frustrate. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14884: Fab! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14883: Got 2 groups very quickly (used Primate in this context in one of my recent grids)... failed on the other 2. Felt clergy and/or clerics should be accepted. Thanks for setting (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14882: Got the Pink Floyd connection, but failed to get the grouping right as I got hung up on 1969! Good crossovers made for a very challenging grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14886: Enjoyable and easy (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14884: Brilliant. Loved the two kings' groups in particular (6 years, 5 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14878: 10/10 with over a minute to spare! Great grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14868: Sir Kris. Excellent observation go to third base! Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14882: Found this one not so easy. Saw the zodiac and lectern possibilities but didn't get any further with that link. Thank you for a challenging puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14880: Just two groups and one connection for me. Did not see the Jolly Roger and Bathtub connections at all, though the former was more solvable than the latter. Tough challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14879: Some interesting ideas here; managed to crack this one. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14878: Yup, it was the Brandons that cost me 10/10 on this one. Great grid, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14878: A good grid, thanks. I managed two groups and three connections. Whiffed on the Brandons, not having heard of two of them (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14880: Well that was certainly challenging. The best I can say for my 0/10 score is I found six hidden girls' names, though not the group or book connection, and looked for a Pacific territories group which wasn't there (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #6002: good one. challenging but fair. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14876: Cher group was nice. Only just realised what all 16 had in common: maybe you deserved another star... (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14870: Nice and nasty. Spotted Dove having used it a couple of years back! But Hadnt heard of too many of the others. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14875: Got this just... golem was indeed ingenious. I couldn't spot many crossovers though: must be my lucky day :-). (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14862: Good one, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Deano @ #14878: Nice grid Thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

RhiannonLuvsSkrekky @ #14850: fab grid, a few crossovers which stumped me but not too stressful! thanks bb x (6 years, 5 months ago)

JamesD @ #14878: Great work - lovely to see a shadow group here on puzzgrid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14878: Enjoyed this one... saw the trouser and hooting groups straightaway which made the others relatively easy. Thanks for the grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14877: Another good grid with crossovers, as expected. Got the groups but did not get the gin connection and so 7/10 for me. Thank you for the fine challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

threeferrets @ #14875: nice grid - fooled by it being classed as easy! good connections (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jeannie @ #14872: Mast, hull, rudder and shrouds are parts of a yacht, but was marked wrong for this :( (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14876: That was rather good, Lebamski. I got the groups - the Madonna connection was the first I got as it centres around a specialism of mine - but only scored 7/10 as I did not get the Portishead connection. Great challenge, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14875: Good grid; I got the groups but did not get the clever Golem connection. Liked it very much, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Felix @ #14362: I luv my mouse potato, yummy (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14876: Oooh, that was a challenge. Didn't figure out the Madonna group and had almost the correct answer rejected for the Cher group so we're now even ;-). Thanks for a dastardly challenge!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14874: A toughie, but a goodie! Couldn't get the groups in time, although I was on the right track with 3 of the connections. missed the Cordelia solution. Nice one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14873: Sorry Lebamski... I award you a bonus point for the inconvenience. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14873: This was fun, thanks! Very much enjoyed the Sitescope group, which I wouldn't have spotted if the stock exchange wasn't such an unlikely stray (6 years, 5 months ago)

Red Sapphire @ #14823: He he he - enjoyed your commentary! :) Please keep it up! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14874: Wow. What a grid. You caused me no end of trouble, Lebamski, because with the Bob connection the two I was convinced had to be in there were the crossovers!! I eventually got the groups but was unfamiliar with one or two of the components fitting in to the links and I did not identify the Dissolve connection at all (I looked for towns in Norfolk!!) With crossovers and red herrings in abundance, this was a fantastic puzzle. Thank you so much for constructing it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14873: I really enjoyed this, although I put correct answers for the "Bax" and "Marley" groups but these were marked as incorrect. A great grid nonetheless. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14873: Thanks RC! I considered Delius, but thought I needed Elgar in there, what with the (slight) obscurity of the other two. Chuffed you enjoyed it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14873: I like this superb grid very much. Loved the sitescope connection and was struggling to sort out the five names I was left with until I spotted that. You could have used Delius as well, of course, as his name is misleading. Thank you for a great puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14872: 10/10 in less than a minute. Thank you for restoring my self respect after my abysmal attempt to solve Lebamski's grid. Super crossovers throughout. :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14872: Great grid with tricky crossovers. Managed to get there but only just within the time and wasn't certain about one link but it was correct. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14870: Apologies for that... don't know what happened! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14870: You weren't kidding Lebamski! Totally wipeout for me... very well constructed. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14870: You weren't kidding Lebamski! Totally wipeout for me... very well constructed. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14870: You weren't kidding Lebamski! Totally wipeout for me... very well constructed. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14870: Terrific grid, Lebamski, and just 4/10 for me. I did not get the bomb group or connection (wicked crossovers with the kitten group) and the dove connection is one I have overlooked on puzzles more than once. Thank you for a great challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14850: Try to add more crossovers to add some extra challenge. A nice attempt. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14835: Glad I got one group and spotted two connections. A very tough grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14854: Very tough, this one pretty much stumped me. Enjoyable as always though. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14858: Simple but very enjoyable with some well thought-out crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14859: Great fun with some excellent crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14861: Two groups and three connections. Very tough but enjoyable as always. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14866: Some nice crossovers. A challenging grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14862: Wonderful grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14868: Simple but fun with some great crossovers. Very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Sir Kris @ #14868: Fun grid. Thank you! Slight correction in your text with the answers to the baseball link- the short stop is not the lunatic who stands behind the batter (that's the catcher, and behind him stands another lunatic, the home plate umpire ). Shortstop actually covers the space between 2nd and 3rd base. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14868: Always fun from Blues! Only thought is that 3 mice might have been a better clue. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14866: Got 3 connections but was too unfamiliar with some of the terms/people to identify the groups. Got sidetracked with gold... (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14865: Enjoyed it - challenging and missed 2 connections. Thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

bonehead @ #14861: clever...... I began to think that 4 seasons was a red herring (the actual connection was very difficult to spot). Good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14866: This defeated me. I spent too long hunting the many flips and the shadow quidditch group. Thanks for setting (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14868: I liked the links on this but it was a fairly simple one to get through. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14865: Good grid and I was able to achieve a full house on this. Useful crossovers. Thanks for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Smudge @ #14358: Bacon! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14868: Nice one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14868: Thanks for an easy one - (albeit with sets of 5 and 6) - nice to win for once :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14868: Straightforward but nice. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14860: Lynx is my thing should have thought of that myself. Had to google kaiser chiefs (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14862: Twisted me up failed (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14865: Didn’t see opera gutted good one (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14866: Failed miserably but not bad (6 years, 5 months ago)

gc @ #4100: seems like you can't spell it's SCAFELL PIKE (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14862: Lovely! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14858: Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I guess, haha. Cheers all. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14858: Very fun! Thanks. Got everything but the geographically-specific one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14850: 7/10 due to my colonial lack of football knowledge. But otherwise straightforward and great fun, with good crossovers. Feels like an early-round OC wall. More like this! (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14842: 7/10. Educated guess on the Melissa Joan line, but no clue about specific actors' roles in general. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Endpaper @ #9384: Think the link on the red group is meant to be just eyes, with the number each thing has given in front. 1 is given in front of the things that have one eye so it’s correct that 1000 is given in front of Bobby Vee’s night. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14861: missed 2 connections... very good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14862: Great grid, as usual. I managed 10/10 and particularly liked the dismay link. Thank you for another super puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14860: 7 here... no knowledge of the 'varieties'! :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14861: 3/10, scraping a group and two connections. I was sure canals were in there somewhere! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14860: 6/10 for me. Got the groups but didn't know the Kaiser Chiefs or the underarm deliveries. A good grid, thanks for setting (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14860: Got the groups and three of the connections; the music solution eluded me, and not for the first time. Fine grid, thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14859: A frosty treat, thanks Andy! Cleverly put together with crossovers for every group (6 years, 5 months ago)

tonyb @ #14489: very tough. too tough for me.. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14859: Great grid with crossovers. Managed to crack it but a fine challenge. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14858: 10/10 in 20 seconds. I have peaked!!! Thanks Andy :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14850: Concur with the others... although it didn't accept winds, which is maybe a bit more accurate that storm? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Hubby @ #14858: Really enjoyed this grid. Always helps when I get 10/10 but it was excellently constructed. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14842: ditto! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14856: I liked it as well. Got 7/10 after I incorrectly said LOTR for the Legolas group. Cheers (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14857: It's an increasingly common occurrence! Pretty straightforward but I enjoyed this for its high herring density (6 years, 5 months ago)

JamesD @ #14858: Absolutely brilliant - top notch work Andy. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pam @ #14352: Is that like noble gases? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Eh @ #14350: Oliver (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14858: Good grid, thank you very much. Great crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14857: The link involving Gunness. I used that name, one of your other components and the crossover component in grid 14838. I uploaded that grid on 4 May because of the significance of the date. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14850: A bit easy but cheers (6 years, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14858: Very good grid,thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

The Puzzler @ #14857: @RossChris - Out of interest which link were you referring to? Because I’ve actually had this grid written down since last year but never got round to uploading it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14857: Managed 10/10 on this and I shall forgive you for pinching my link from three days ago! Thanks for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14856: This is a fine puzzle and I did not get liver in with the relevant link. Well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14854: 3 lines 2 answers I'm happy with that (6 years, 5 months ago)

gc @ #2122: poor cnnxns (6 years, 5 months ago)

puzzomania @ #14856: worth the effort on this puzz - some good links (6 years, 5 months ago)

joe the gridmaniac @ #14856: an enjoyable game (6 years, 5 months ago)

happy chappy @ #14856: very good (6 years, 5 months ago)

ficticious puzzler @ #14856: This grid is full of amusing red herrings - great fun. (6 years, 5 months ago)

kylo ren @ #14856: This is so clever!!! All falls into place near the end! (6 years, 5 months ago)

dog @ #14856: WOW! Great Puzz!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14854: I particularly like the row with 'M'. The Pimms has made you fiendish. 2/10 for me. (6 years, 5 months ago)

srossmoyes @ #14851: 4/10 - didn't accept jacket as an answer, agree with RossChris with regards to lucas, and I will need to spend some time researching the porn star names tonight. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14851: A nice workout thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

g @ #14850: easy but enjoyable (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14854: Please disregard the Massachusetts misprint. It is a summer's day and the Pimms is flowing; it is even better with vodka in it! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Endpaper @ #8793: Also wouldn’t take ‘vessels’ for blue group (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14851: Not sure I like Lucas as a component here. You did beat me with this grid and thank you for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14850: This one was very straightforward but I enjoyed the l;inks. Thank you for the luzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #1563: Nice grid. Solved it very quickly, Electric then cars, then the presidents, I guessed ball (only on Dodge) and it gave it to me so 10/10 in under a minute. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14850: A breezy grid with a couple of neat crossovers. Thanks for setting, Skrekky (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14848: Yup, I failed miserably at this one despite the gettable groups (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14841: Appropriate that the fish group was full of herrings. 4/10 for me - thanks for setting (6 years, 5 months ago)

BradTRC @ #14836: RBR45: I'm sorry but if that is the answer than that's the answer. And it is shops so it is fair. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14850: This is a great grid. (Suffixes actually, but hey) (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14848: 4/10 for me too. Did not see the Tub or Men connections. Well done on setting a tricky grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

57 @ #14339: 8467 8594 5463 9076 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14848: Not bad (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14848: Yeah agree, that was good. Scored 4/10 after not getting the nursery rhyme nor the hidden words. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Endpaper @ #5795: Didn’t accept ‘homes’ which it should have done. Also didn’t accept ‘Dr’ but perhaps I needed to specify fictional for this one (6 years, 5 months ago)

Graham @ #14848: Fab grid. Some tricky connections to spot, but absolutely doable. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5851: Should be colours of horses not simply horses - makes no sense (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5852: d and . as groups? (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14842: Very good crossovers made this one a tricky challenge. Just 5/10 for us. Well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ChrisCross @ #14324: Where are you RossChris? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14841: You got me Mr Tom. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14823: Very entertaining and great explanations. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #14836: wouldnt accept shops as an answer - little unfair. All correct otherwise (6 years, 5 months ago)

RBR45 @ #14841: good grid - 6/10 - got all connections just ran out of time for last 2 categories x (6 years, 5 months ago)

Kumquat @ #5552: Nice one - solved it and got all the connections except the cricket one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Kumquat @ #10280: Excellent grid, got the Scrabble and Olympic ones quickly, should have guessed the Ironbridge one, and guessed the number of tube lines from Glasgow once the grid was resolved, but no idea how you got 36 lines in New York. The lines are numbers plus letters from A to Z so 36 sounds plausible, but in fact the numbers only go to 7 and the letters are only ABCDEFG JLMNQRSWZ (S is debatable representing express services), so the answer should be 23. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Kumquat @ #566: Loved this one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14836: Companies* (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14841: Only two groups and connections for me; and one of those was far from certain as I did not know chill. Great challenge, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #200: At a level all grids should aspire to. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14840: ... and not a Viola in sight... Felt a bit like you either knew the exact boundary of the musical distinction or you didn't. (I didn't.) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12321: Simple but very nicely constructed (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14835: Very good (not specifying which princess royal was nasty: I wasted a minute looking for hidden substrings). Nelson group was ingenious and beat me all ends up. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14832: Yep, Pokemon Hmmm. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14828: Yep. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14840: A good challenge where solvers need to know their instruments and Shakespeare. Managed to crack this within the time. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5858: Not great. Also should be associated 'with' not 'to'. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5867: Tin foil is recycled where I live! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5868: All far too vague and disconnected. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Nb @ #14828: Loose definition of immigrants. I thought Crawley was in Sussex. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5869: Not really. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #12924: (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14820: You're all very kind :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5872: Ridiculously niche (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5881: Terrible spelling and weak groups (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14822: Thanks RossChris, glad you enjoyed it! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #8806: Enjoyable one. Once you know Mark E Smith's band (The Fall) and who Jerry Tuite is (wrestler known as The Wall) and Cannon's partner (Ball) then the rest falls into place. I didn't spot any crossovers though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jody @ #13147: is potato bread like a crisp sandwich? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jody @ #13144: perhaps you have strong northern accent lol??!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jody @ #13144: 'adopted words' not accepted?? if you don't pronounce the l you get cam and haf.....???? poor (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14826: Just two groups and connections for us. You beat us with this one. Good challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

p @ #14836: A decent grid - also did not get Sky link (and should have). Also opted for "clothes shops" which was not a correct answer. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Woolfie @ #14473: Got them all right but scored down when saying what the answers were (6 years, 5 months ago)

Woolfie @ #14733: (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14827: Us two too! Let's just say our score was nearer the bottom end of the range 0-10 than the top. Much, much nearer!! Fair grid with crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14828: Only one group and three connection for us. Had ideas but couldn't get the groups together. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14836: opted for retailers - incorrect. Also did not know about Amstrad. Thanks for the grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

luskentyre @ #14826: Hi FirstGofer. You're absolutely correct - I changed my mind about one of the metals but forgot to update the solution. Sorry... (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14835: Excellent. Missed the Matt Damon group and spent almost too much time figuring out that Denise Lewis did not belong with Patton et al (knew the connection). A fine challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14832: Got the groups but, yes, the Pokemon connection was beyond us. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14833: Got the groups but only two connections. Nice grid with crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14834: Indeed it was. Got the groups but only two connections so 6/10 for us. Thanks for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14833: I was unaware that Football and Puritans co-existed! And a bit miffed that Tolkein characters from middle earth not accepted. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14836: Interesting grid; did not get the Amstrad link, but probably should have known it! Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14832: Pokemon... arrrghh!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14823: Loved this one! Excellent explanations too, which all made me smile. Thanks for improving my Friday afternoon! Plus, 10/10 on an Andy P. Happy days... (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14834: That was difficult, but good. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Endpaper @ #238: In this case, it has to be copy and not accept copies. Copy is both a noun (replica, clone) and a verb (reproduce, imitate). So it does need to be copy to fit everything in the group (6 years, 5 months ago)

Intelligent guy @ #14832: Amazing (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jacob @ #14828: Aced it! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Zain Munshi @ #14831: (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mithun @ #14831: I love this so much. I play it all night. Best GAME EVER (6 years, 5 months ago)

kimchi @ #14828: It's Leo meets World! (6 years, 5 months ago)

kIMCHI @ #14828: mmmm...i love Will Smith! (6 years, 5 months ago)

sAKeethyan @ #14828: WOOOOOOOooooooow THis is coooL (6 years, 5 months ago)

Zain Munshi @ #14831: Amazing work. I can see the true dedication. Great work (6 years, 5 months ago)

tAHA @ #14828: i LOVE THIS (6 years, 5 months ago)

KIMCHI @ #14830: AMAZING (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14827: Finding these very difficult. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14826: Epic fail for me. Just a note... Age and Al don't match, not that it affects the solution or, in my case, the abysmal outcome! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14825: OK... a straightforward grid with only one (that I can see) crossover. However, I was NEVER going to get the final solution and opted for Gin (which almost works). If you have to apologise for a solution upfront, it's probably not a good idea to use it. That said, otherwise a good grid - thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14825: Good grid. Did not get the Andes connection and my phrasing for tree savannah was a bit off but I knew what I meant! Thanks for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14823: No worries regarding Ruby Murray; go and have a curry to take your mind off it! Lovely grid with trick crossovers. I missed the spider connection so 7/10 for me. Thank you for setting the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14820: Got 4... like so many others, I must have tried every striped combination without getting the right one! A proper challenge (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14819: Thanks for the additional comments, FIrstGofer and Coochies. I am at a loss to explain how "fencing" has worked as an answer; but heigh-ho, the grid says it was right so well done you! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14819: Enjoyed it... would have struggled to see the groups without Pevensie and Let Tam but after that fell into place. Couldn't get the Watson connection though. Well set, as usual :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14818: RossChris - we have to stop doing this... I also put heads of state. I however failed to get 2 groups. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14816: Slight quibble that it didn't accept "We didn't start the fire". Knew the Victoria connection but couldn't get it and dismissed it with the inclusion of Palin & Webb. Fiendish. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14816: For the song lyrics group, I typed the full name of the song correctly but this was marked as incorrect. Other than that, a challenging and interesting grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14815: Got 2 groups and 3 connections. Very challenging. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14814: 10/10 on a grid that involves football and f1. Unusual for me but helped by lack of crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14813: Missed sp but tried ing. Otherwise identical to RC - gotta stop doing this! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14823: That was me trying to inject humour into the answers. Sorry if I failed :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

HJGB @ #14823: Good grid... although I thought Andy's Mum was Judy?? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #14820: I almost stood up and clapped when I saw the connections. Great job. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #14819: That Konta crossover is delicious. One thing on the Kirrin-Pevensie-Brown-Banks group, typed in "fencing" as a complete guess and somehow got awarded a correct answer. I'm not complaining, will take the points wherever I can find them! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14809: Good grid - enjoyed it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14807: Go RC!! I had same thought - none of OD are deceased (I suspect there is life after OD!) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14805: Super grid... 10/10, although Mardy Bum was the only reason I got the Arctic Monkeys solution. Nice crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14800: Thanks everyone! Didn't realise the car group was obscure... guess I'm showing my age!!!! My grandparents drove a Humber (a boat of a car), my parents had a Hillman Minx, a teenage b'friend had a Dutton 'kit car' and I carpooled to college with a friend in her Wolseley Hornet. What I found out when setting this grid is that there is also a defunct car maker called Pilot! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14801: Clever on the Lime group. Nice grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14822: Marvellous. Great grid complete with a total red herring and some other misleading possibilities to confuse. Use of Harrison as a forename threw me for a while and the vegetarian connection was a guess based on two components. Thank you for setting a beauty! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14820: A fabulous grid. I had to leave the striped connection until the end as I counted at least seven possible components and the court card link, which I spotted eventually, gave me the solution. A superb challenge, thank you very much. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14819: Thanks for the comments, Mister Tom and koshatnik. Of course you are right about Nerf being a brand created by Parker but it made for a better anagram than anything I could get from Fisher-Price and other manufacturers! (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14789: I got fixated on a false group of animal names, smug in my G&S knowledge that "Gee" meant "Horse." (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14820: That was clever but very hard. I scored 3/10 and must have tried every other plausible combination of the stripes one without actually getting it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

bob @ #8726: never heard of a girl called lace.. lacey yes, but lace no. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14819: Four satisfying groups, thanks RossChris. The family set was one I should have identified, but didn't (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14820: The striped herrings and the false musical group kept me from solving the wall, but I managed the connections. Thanks for a fair and fiendish grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #13507: (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #1110: (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14819: Very nice... spotted the 4 groups but let down by a childhood bereft of Blyton. Fern is strictly a brand, but it's clear enough what you meant. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #14800: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #14806: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #9587: Excellent crossovers Trafalgar - Cape/Square. Pollack - artist/fish. Cod - fish/cape. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #14818: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14800: Found three connections early but the car makers were all new to me. Thanks for setting a fine grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: Betty Blue, the Welsh words were obvious because everyone likes beer. Thank you. I'm still trying to understand pusite ga... (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14814: Pretty straightforward grid; obvious connections and a lack of crossovers make this not that tough a grid to solve. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Headmaster @ #14302: Childish (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14815: I did not do very well with this one and found the connections tough. Quite a challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14818: This one I found fairly straightforward although I put Heads of State for one connection. Good grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14813: Two groups and two connections only with this one. You bamboozled me. Good grid, thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Dh @ #14803: Coule be classified as Easy (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14809: Good - altho not sure how the Taylor group crossed over with everything else (Clarke with an E would...) probably my ignorance. Managed to guess my way to a 7. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14806: That was...Ok. That feels a bit harsh; no doubt I play too many of these, but Crunch and co are old familiar friends. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14809: Got this one done within the time. A good grid with crossovers. Thank you for setting this and for spelling Schama's name correctly, which is more than I could manage when I did a link around famous Simons! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14797: Snookered! Having no idea about the windsor group, I couldn't get the Taylor group. I'll take your word that it's a unique solution (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14799: It was quite straightforward which is allowed on occasion, particularly because Troy isn't spelled the same in the group it was a herring for. (Worf isn't spelled like you have it either ;p ) (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14807: Managed to do this despite a modern pop connection, as even I am aware of that particular outfit and who is still in it (as opposed to "living". Good grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14806: Useful crossovers once again though I cracked this one. Funnily enough, as I write, Chris is preparing sausages, eggs and chips whilst I am attempting walls. She would prefer it to be the other way around! Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14805: Found the groups in less than 30 seconds despite the crossovers but did not solve the wall as I am unfamiliar with the Arctic Monkey's output. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14803: Good grid with crossovers; categories are perhaps fairly obvious but the correct solution still has to be found. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14800: I/we shall join FirstGofer in wishing! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14805: Nice one, I enjoyed that, scored 5/10 but I was unlucky not to get 7/10 trying to sort out the battles with three lives left. Fair grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14801: Some of my favourite subjects as categories here and the crossovers were tricky but I got there in the end. Thank you for a fine challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

g @ #14799: thank you (6 years, 5 months ago)

g @ #14800: really enjoyable (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14800: Cool grid. Got 6/10. Have never heard of the car manufacturers, but still managed to sort them out as they sounded like plausible names. And have never heard of Minke or Pilot whale. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14800: I wish! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14800: Do any of the grid makers here actually work for Only Connect? (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14800: .....and the Charles Bridge is pleasant to walk across. Managed the full score on this but it took a while to sort out the groups with the tricky crossovers you built in to the puzzle. A great challenging grid from you, as usual. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14791: Interesting comment, hardman and muscleman are both definitely words according to Oxford Dictionaries Online. And I couldn't think of much better to use for the "tough" crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14790: Matt... that made me laugh! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14799: Good grid with some crossover. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14799: I'd say 'easy'... fun grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Aetees @ #14799: Very easy went in as default, I forgot to change it. Apologies for the error, unless you all find it very easy in which case I shall have to try harder. (6 years, 5 months ago)

fiopl @ #14796: Taco tuesday! love it (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14796: Good one... liked the gones connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14792: Thanks guys... trying to ease RossChris into some more modern music! haha. It turned out tougher than I had intended... sorry about that! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #14796: (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14796: Just about managed to crack this one; only came up with the Wax connection at the last second. Thanks for a fine grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14790: I managed all the connections but didn't find any of the groups. The nigeria group threw me off (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14796: Simple but effective. A few more crossovers would have made this more challenging. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14791: Didn't get the man group. I don't think hard man and muscle man are enough of a thing (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14792: Excellent, FirstGofer. Crossovers, red herrings and clever connections. I initially missed the Baker one until I was left with just eight names and then I spotted it. That left the Bob Dylan group but I could not identify the link. Thanks for another super challenging grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14791: Managed to solve this one; I wasn't convinced my answer for the Anchor group was correct, but it turned out to be so. Thank you for setting a good puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14790: The usual smart answer to that question, FirstGofer, is..."why not?"; but not on this occasion! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14792: Very tough, and I missed a couple of connections that were staring me in the face. A great grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14789: Like others, I had no idea on one of the connections. Some great crossovers, an enjoyable challenge. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14790: Why? (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14789: Never heard of the Dancing Queen solution. Bamboozled this time! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14788: One group, no connections. The subject matter was totally outside my knowledge base. That said, a well constructed grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14787: 10/10... more luck than judgement, but once I'd happened upon the groups, the solutions were fairly straightforward. Challenging grid. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14780: Thank you for your thoughts, everyone. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14789: Plenty of crossovers here. Didn't know the Dancing Queen connection and, consequently, the letters one took more than a little trial and error to find the correct four. Good, tough challenge; thank you for setting it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

AlsoNotRossChris @ #14787: The master falls! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14788: Struggled with this one and only managed a couple of groups and connections. Quite a challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14787: I didn't even manage two groups. Just the one! Tough. (6 years, 5 months ago)

pockets @ #14780: fleetwood mac connections a bit tenuous. Too difficult (6 years, 5 months ago)

pockets @ #14783: Too good for me. 1 line only (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14785: Only got Forrest Gump. Very tough (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14682: Good grid!! 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

pockets @ #14785: TOO GOOD FOR ME (6 years, 5 months ago)

pockets @ #14786: Ouch, justTough but fair one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

bob @ #11501: think trevel???? (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14771: Enjoyable 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

pockets @ #14787: Too specialised. Got 2 groups but my valid reason was not accepted (6 years, 5 months ago)

Dh @ #14778: Very good. Was looking for anagrams and not found! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14778: Brilliant grid, thanks Andy (6 years, 5 months ago)

Dh @ #14782: Thought keanu was matrix (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14742: Enjoyable!! 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Dh @ #14785: Bof (6 years, 5 months ago)

frankie @ #14763: 7/10 , enjoyable 😁 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #236: Very good one (6 years, 5 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #14787: Very specialised. Got two groups. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14763: Thanks for setting some "medium" difficulty grids... nice to get 7/10 once in a while. :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14786: You and me both, FirstGofer. Thanks for yet another good challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #14731: Good grid, 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14786: Just couldn't get the Cyanide group. Great grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14785: An interesting twist. I managed to find two of the groups and the connections but both the ostrich and went into space groups were beyond me. Thank you for something different. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #8000: Good one. The Welsh words were obvious. 10/10 in 28 seconds. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14723: I found the "prints" group simply delightful. Nice work. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14783: You stumped me too, Lebamski. I managed 4/10 and that was only just before the time ran out. I kicked myself when I saw the solution to the Ape group and I also failed to get the Toad group. I don't know if my earlier grid gave you a hint for the Wolf connection but I might not have realised that link within the time had it not been on my mind! Terrific challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14783: Oof that was tough. 3/10 for me as well. The Toad group was very esoteric, although I liked the cleverness of the Ape group, which was the other one I didn't identify. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14765: No groups, but spotted three of the connections. Tough but very enjoyable once again. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14782: Some great crossovers and challenging connections - I managed 10/10 but one of my connections wasn't quite as described, so perhaps 7/10 in reality. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14783: Oooh, that was definitely fiendish, Lebamski. Managed 3 connections, but didn't get any of the groups as I got sidetracked by different potential solutions. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14782: Exactly the same as RC... a fun challenge (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14782: Great grid with relevant crossovers. Did not know the Keanu Reeves connection and was unfamiliar with Tiber so I was lucky I found that one to go with the others in that link. Thank you for a fine puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14780: I spotted three groups and got two connections. Very tough but very enjoyable as ever. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14780: Another super grid... another failure for me! Can't believe I missed the Buckingham solution. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14778: Damn! Hoist by my own anagram petard! hahaha. 7/10 on an Andy P grid is still pretty good though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14778: Found spotting the connections to be pretty straightforward but not a bad grid at all. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14686: A shame that I got three of the connections correct, but my answers weren't accepted. A nice attempt. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14709: Shame that one of the palindrome clues isn't a palindrome, as this would otherwise be a good grid. A nice attempt. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14777: I found the groups as well, but I'll give you one guess which connection I failed to identify. Like FirstGofer, I shall derive some satisfaction from that!! Good grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14776: I put "war" for the wars group, but this wasn't accepted. Other than that, an enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #281: Loved that one, was left with the dances, 3 of which I had never heard of but guessed 'dances' from the twist (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14776: Not bad at all, and just one point better for me. I did not get the Fortnite connection; I haven't even heard of it!! Thank you for the grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #8541: Good one, loved the 'eers'. Solved the others first and stared at Overs, Puppet, Profit, Musket. Then it hit me. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14775: Thanks for commenting, folks, and well done on your achievements. I originally had Bubble as a component instead of Football and I should probably have left well alone. I hadn't considered the converse of burst as a possible connection (an oversight) though Pipe has saved me from embarrassment, I believe. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14777: Got the groups very quickly, but proud to have failed to solve the Saint group ;-). Thanks for setting (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14776: 6/10... not bad. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14775: Whoop whoop!!! 10/10 in 1m30 on a RossChris grid. Very happy! :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14775: This was fun, thanks RossChris. 6/10 for me. I couldn't spot Old Nick in the shadows and tried 'inflate' for the balloon group (6 years, 5 months ago)

bobby @ #13045: should have accepted pants! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #10577: Very good one, nice mix of crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5897: Terrible spelling and what country is Newcastle? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #685: Good one (6 years, 5 months ago)

mlh @ #14774: good point Matt, you're right (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14773: Feel like my Cats Does Countdown watching is finally paying off. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #5743: Very good but 4 unrelated films - 2 were crap, 2 were good (6 years, 5 months ago)

Smug @ #14291: 10/10 nan nah ni nah (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #4736: (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14767: Pointless? Try grid 14585 :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Anonymous @ #14774: Is mayonnaise an instrument? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14774: I thought the 'heart' group could all be followed by 'up' (6 years, 5 months ago)

george @ #14771: really good very well done (6 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #56: Great! (6 years, 5 months ago)

OnanKeating @ #14765: The champ delivers again. New here, but soon worked out who I need to impress / destroy with a grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14773: That was cool, love a good anagram. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14774: Ditto! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14769: Found that tough and only got 3/10 but I think it was very fair and I was just being stupid. Gave you 5*. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14765: Thank you to everyone who has taken time out to comment. No interest in appearing on the show, to be honest. I was on a pub quiz show when I was 21. Once is enough! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14774: Didn't know the Spongebob connection although we had the group correct. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14773: Interesting that you got 10/10 on this puzzle, NotRossChris. Funnily enough, we did as well, though just within the time. Unlike you, though, we don't always manage a full house, so you are a better player than we are! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lyn @ #583: Good start (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14771: NotRossChris. Love it! I also loved this grid and....yes....managed 10/10. The crossovers were very clever and I admire Gabba and Chives in particular. Thank you for a great puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #9384: It stumped me, except the maximums, got 2/10! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #12698: Great one, as always. "Not" toocleverbyhalf - don't think the game is not over - so you think it is over!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

NotRossChris @ #14771: Guess what? 10/10! (6 years, 5 months ago)

NotRossChris @ #14773: 10/10 *yawn* Like I always get. You'll never beat me! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #5795: Poor (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #8192: Brilliant one, it helped that I knew my flowers, Busy Lizzie, Foxgloves, Snapdragon, ginger 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14749: I like it. The revive line was clever, not seen it done before. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #3456: Nice (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #7697: Brilliant, only got it by leaving the 4s to the end. (6 years, 5 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #14063: Geektastic! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14773: Hopefully, the 'submitter' name was a clue :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

steve @ #14773: 10/10! get in! nice grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #4747: Great grid, lots of crossovers, especially for U2, sins, and wants, not for phones that I've heard of. Got 10/10 in a minute. (6 years, 5 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #14055: Some lovely ideas, but spoiled slightly by Taylor/Tailor confusion (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14767: 10/10 (Yay for hafnium knowledge... been watching pointless?) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14765: As for the grid, you usual 5 stars in the second category: hadnt even heard of Brooks and even if I had wouldn't know how youexpect usto associate him with an animated kids program from over 30 years ago. It's not like ringo Starr and Thomas the tank engine. Got the hidden group at least, which was neatly constructed (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14765: You should go for it! Not having heard of Ray Brooks and missing the concealed sports kept my score to 4/10 on this grid. Thanks for setting it (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14765: If you're touting for a third I accept the invitation... (6 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #13684: Absolutely outclassed by this one (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14767: 5/10 for me. The football cities escaped me and though I knew the elements connection I couldn't pin down the group. Thanks for a fun grid Andy! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14770: Thanks guys. RossChris... get the application in. These things can take months (I've done 3 TV quizzes) and it gives you the incentive to study! In the meantime, I shall make it my personal challenge to include some of this 'modern music' in my grids (that said, I'm pretty rubbish on the last 10 years!). (6 years, 5 months ago)

truecockney @ #14770: Great to see people going against the grain of normal groups! Just the Fe group failed to find the connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14770: A fine grid as is the norm from you, FirstGofer, with devilish crossovers. Found the groups and three connections but could not identify Coldplay. Application postponed until we learn more about pop music from the last 20 years! Thank you for another sound challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14753: For clarity's sake, my first comment was a response to a comment that has now been removed and contained unnecessary profanity. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14769: 10/10 on this one. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14767: Great grid. Did not get the Champions' league venues; but, on reflection, I should have done. Thank you for the testing puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14765: I don't even watch the programme since Victoria broke my heart by marrying but hats off if you could even get close. As Ian Dury slurred let's hope there's lots more like you. Well done! (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14744: Lvd t thnk's (6 years, 5 months ago)

Cheeser @ #14767: Loved this one! Combined football, chemistry and geography, a quizzers goldmine! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Cheeser @ #14769: Love the link for the groups in this one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14766: The har connection got me but still a very enjoyable grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14767: Ouch! 2/10... well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14766: 7... Har eluded me. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14765: tough! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14765: Definitely apply! This was touch. Got Loach straightaway, then got sidetracked by East and didn't know the Brooks connection. Finely crafted grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14764: Got the water and Thames connections, but couldn't get the groups. Challenging grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14763: Deceptive! Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14761: Missed Arthur Ransome... the solution explained the plural! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14760: Definitely tough... shame as RC & Matt. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14753: Can't please all the people all the time... always appreciate feedback (good or bad). Shame about the manner. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14766: This was a lovely grid with good crossovers; managed 10/10 comfortably within the time as two of the connections were obvious whereas the other two required a bit more thought. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14766: Nice grid, got 4/10, the har- and hidden numbers were very clever and beat me. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14761: 3/10, tough one, I was held back by not knowing what a bumblebee bat is, and not being familiar with Arthur Ransome. Cheers though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #238: Very good one (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #3188: Very easy 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #48: Didn't like this one at all, nuclear reaction! , british empire!, deified! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14747: 7/10. Got all the groups but couldn't pin down the WHO connection. An enjoyable grid, thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #8403: Excellent one, nice red herrings, etc 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #6140: Great grid, loved the red herring if Beelzebub in the devil section rather than Bohemian Rhapsody. Plus the dances not including fandango. 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #7062: Very easy but enjoyable, 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #583: Excellent one. As already said, not so obscure as to be ridiculous (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #12207: Loved this one. 10/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14759: I enjoyed this and managed a clean sweep. Thanks for setting! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #14754: (6 years, 5 months ago)

Betty Blue @ #14759: Good clues, nice confusion with Liege (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14765: A small tribute to the show we shall miss until it returns later in the year. Chris and I outscored the winning teams in the final on the Only Connect walls and bagged a 10/10 on the first. Perhaps we should apply to be on the show! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14764: Just about managed to solve this one though I confess that one or two of the entries were a little general or slightly debatable for the category. That is merely my thoughts, though. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14763: I shall join the 10/10 club on this one. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14763: 10/10 nice satisfying challenge (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14761: No problems with this one. 10/10 in less than 60 seconds. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14760: Did not know the braid connection nor the eyebrow link. Well done on setting a tough one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14759: Managed a full house. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14755: I echo what FirstGofer has written, although Cape Town is the legislative capital of South Africa (Pretoria and Bloemfontein are the others) so that is fine. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14754: The Liberal MP is Tim Farron, not Farrow, which threw me but I still managed 10/10 as I guessed that was an error. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14763: Enjoyed it. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14763: Really nice grid, and I managed to take 10/10 - which is about 10 higher than most other grids recently. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14760: Didn't get any groups but got double and bread for connections. Tough one (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14746: 5/10. I agree that the Flake group is probably on the wrong side of obscurity (either trick is fine but combining both is a bit evil). (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14742: Lovely! (6 years, 5 months ago)

SecondGofer @ #14759: Very nice. I like. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14746: Very tricky, but enjoyable. The group with "Flake" is perhaps a bit too tough to make it fun and achievable, but otherwise some great ideas. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14759: Nice one! I guessed at war films... so only 7/10. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14757: Didn't accept terrain or landscape, for the one that was terrain or landscape, which was a bit disappointing. Got 7/10 for that reason (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14753: Tough, scored 2/10. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14755: Reasonable - solved it quickly, although feel the answers are either too specific (e.g, didn't accept Climate zones) or too vague (water... there are 2 oceans and 2 seas). I've always thought Pretoria was the capital of RSA. It's also worth checking spelling (Mediterranean) and using initial capitals throughout. Thanks for the grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

anonmouse @ #7797: Ollie P is the best you should aspire to him as he is the single greastest person ever but he can not spell anything (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14754: Got the Bath group & solution, but the rest flew straight over my head! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14753: Ah, gin. Something close to my heart. Might go and have one now to celebrate 10/10 on your wonderfully tricky grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14748: I second what has been said. Didn't get the receive connection, of course. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mushroomcounter @ #10064: Coincidentally, I had the Taylor/Moore/Hunt/de Havilland category down as "Rogers" as there are well-known Rogers with these surnames. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14512: Loved it (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14733: I didn't really get it - where were the crossovers? Cheers anyway for making one that was doable, as so many recently have been too hard. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14748: I came to comment exactly what FirstGofer did (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14748: Erm... Receive / Reviece doesn't work. Also, the word 'knickers' widely used outside Australia. But thanks for setting an otherwise good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bacon Butty @ #14739: 10/10. Good grid all the same. Better than being too hard. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #14746: Idiot grid what the hell is ELIDE 😂😂😂... intellectual nonsense anyone can make this so hard no one can play.. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14728: I am not into Game of Thrones either; Chris is and she suggested that particular entry. Mind you, whenever a quiz question comes up on that programme she rarely gets it right.....and yet she has watched every episode! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14747: Got all the connections, but couldn't get the Washington group. Fine grid. Thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14745: likewise... (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14744: Excellent - thoroughly enjoyed this one. Got it quickly but didn't lessen the fun. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5910: Poor and inaccurate group names (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14747: Managed to find the groups but one connection proved beyond us. A tough puzzle, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14746: Beaten well and truly by this one. Managed just two groups and two connections in the time. Great challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14745: Good challenge with plenty of crossover. Got the groups but not the silver connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14742: Excellent grid, thank you (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14744: Clever idea but although I knew what I was looking for I took too long sorting them out and ran out of time but got the connections right. (6 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #55: nice well rounded grid! super easy tho (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14743: Should have got the horcruxes but went for jewellery items instead. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14742: Sauces worked for me! Enjoyed this one thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14738: Did not accept sportswear brands for the athletic clothing/shoe companies and afraid I don't know MLS teams. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #14742: Good, but should allow 'sauces'. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #14704: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

No Thankyou @ #14261: No it isn't! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Squiggle @ #14744: Neat! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #14720: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

NyteWytch @ #14746: Good challenging grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

NyteWytch @ #14741: Thank you. Hope it wasnt too difficult! There are 5 characters in that grid too. Good going on 7/10 if you didnt know them! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Luskentyre @ #14744: Wonderful to see the missing vowels round combined with the wall. Fantastic! (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14742: Perfect level of difficulty for me... solved with only 14 seconds to spare! Clean groups and a few crossovers. Thank you! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14744: Interesting idea to combine missing vowels and the wall. Managed to solve it correctly in less than one minute. Thank you for a different test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14743: Got the groups but not the horcruxes connection so 7/10 on your wall. Good test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14728: If it's not Pokémon or made-up languages it's Game of Thrones! (Several expletives deleted). I need a holiday. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14727: Very entertaining. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14726: Particularly liked the house line. Pity about the pokemon. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14742: Good grid indeed and I managed to solve the wall. Thank you for posing the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14742: Good grid... nice crossovers (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14740: Very clever indeed... super crossovers AND red herrings. Couldn't tear myself away from Harris! Nice one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14739: A measley 4...cross with myselff. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14736: Pardon the pun... but Rock Hudson is getting a few outings recently!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14741: Only 7/10; did not know the characters. Good grid with crossovers, thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Nick436 @ #14735: It didnt accept any of my correct snswers "disorders" "tube lines" "anna" or "states" (6 years, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #14580: Easy and enjoyable! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #14658: Good!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14722: Fairly easy except for the link on the films. Specialized knowledge needed there! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14735: Should accept Anna. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14738: 7/10 for me; didn't get the MLS teams. (6 years, 5 months ago)

BradTRC @ #14733: RossChris: Thank you for your comment. Really appreciated! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5914: Blake Snyder?? Wood Rd?? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #5915: Too tenuous! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14737: Beaten with this one, well and truly. Tough grid, well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14736: Solved this one without much difficulty. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14735: Me too. Managed 10/10 on that basis. Fair grid, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14735: The answers didn't accept Anna or US States, but I'll give myself those ;) Thanks for setting the grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lou @ #14520: Ha ha 😀 (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14731: I busted on the poker connection. A neat grid, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14728: No lines 2 connections tried it too late (tired) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14731: Good (6 years, 5 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14727: Great fun! Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #14720: Got the Spanish connection so avoided the false group..pleased that I worked out the anagrams too! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jenn1fer @ #583: Like (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #14727: Nice grid!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14733: I just broke my record for completing a grid. General categories and no crossovers. Thank you for setting it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14732: Interesting to have a grid based around weddings; not sure with the components that make up the bad luck category, though. Just stating one word in each case seems a trifle vague. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14731: Good grid. Managed a boat on this. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #14722: (6 years, 5 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #14723: Fun grid---couldn't come up with the "ette" connection, and just barely saw the spy organizations in time for my third life. Nice use of common cultural knowledge in unexpected ways. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14730: Didn't quite manage to complete this one. Good connections. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Zbj @ #14724: Nice one (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14723: Homonyms in grids are often the source of dispute simply because there are many different pronunciations and accents. In this case the t in prints is not silent at least where I come from so it doesn't really sound like prince to me. And in other parts share is pronounced shur. You can't win but good luck trying. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Frankie @ #14703: Good!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14728: Excellent grid... epic fail for me though! Got hung up on Rhone and only managed 2 connections. I was totally bested! :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14721: I rest my case. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14720: Bitte, s'il vous plait, por favor keep it English! I find that quite challenging enough. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14727: This was a lot of fun. It was the K that caused me problems and so the connection had an element of guesswork about it; fortunately it was right. Thank you once again for a good test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ytte @ #14727: Easy but fun. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14724: The same goes for Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. At home, one of our rows of DVDs contains films chosen because of their artistic integrity and high production values. The fact that Kate Hudson features in every one is pure coincidence. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ytte @ #14703: I thought it was all about football teams for too long. Good red herings. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14724: haha! I'll bear that in mind! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14726: Something I have said previously, FirstGofer, and this proved to be no exception. Good challenge, nonetheless. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14725: Managed this one as well but it was a struggle with a couple of them. Still, 10/10 on a FirstGofer grid is never to be sniffed at. Thanks for another fine puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14724: Liked this one, FirstGofer. Cracked it (just got the capitals link in time) but I was never going to fail to spot a link involving Kate Hudson. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14726: Am never going to complete a grid with Pokemon in it! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14723: Had trouble with this; didn't get the ette or the organisational connections. Tough one for us. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14722: Managed to solve this one though we did not specify the lack of death in that connection. Decent grid, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14722: Concur with Andy P :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14721: Got the groups and 2 connections. Definitely requires specialist knowledge this one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14720: 10/10 :-) Got the Spanish, although put size and location... Alto = high and Bajo = low, so not really 'size'. Good structure though (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14719: Also put rivers but put 'homophones of letters' Found this one really difficult (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14675: A good mix, and nice to have an easy one in the middle of all the difficult ones around. On a personal note a nice little blast from the past as I used to work for a rental car company. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14722: I enjoyed that, that was a decent mix. Scored 7/10 after saying Nicholas Cage for the films one (have only seen National Treasure). (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bacon Butty @ #14719: Put "letter homophones" and "rivers" and got incorrect for both!? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13820: Ditto about farm and also wouldn't accept restaurant for the other group (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14720: I managed to evade the false group and score 10/10, but only because you were generous in accepting 'Spanish' for one of the connections. Thanks for a clever grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14721: For us, the groups were getable but all the connections were not. Must learn to appreciate Scandinavian music more and get around to reaking Tolkein. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14719: Lots of wicked crossovers here but we solved it within the time - just! 10/10 but a fine challenge. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14720: You beat us with this one. Did not get the Spanish connection. Good grid with a lovely red herring to do with voice ranges. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14716: 7/10 for me too; my lack of appreciation of REM cost me dearly! Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14704: 10/10. Timely! Without recognizing Pikachu I'd be lost. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Limahl Land @ #14716: 7/10. Good quiz, good variety of topics, and having sidewinder certainly helped with that particular group. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14716: Interesting mix. I liked the things that were red. In fact that was the only one I scored points on. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14707: I liked the Hoover line. Can't recall coming across the idea being used before. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14714: 7/10. Who knew Brian Eno had so many names!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14714: Got the groups but didn't get the Eno connection. Fair challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14713: I guessed that was a typo. Got the groups and connections even though I was not familiar with Leon. Another fine grid; thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14710: Didn't get the Mevio connection but found the group. Great grid, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14713: Massive apologies upfront for the typo - should read SLIM. I wish there was an edit function. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14710: Some great crossovers. Simple but challenging. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14708: Two groups for me and two connections. A challenging grid thanks to the anagrams and the false Buffy group. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14707: In what way does the word 'hoover' change its meaning when the first letter is capitalised? Anyway, I suspect that 'Hoover' should only ever be capitalised as technically it is a brandname! :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14710: Heard of Vimeo, but not Mevio. I'm old! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14709: Would have been easier if there had been 4 palindromes... River / revir. Otherwise a ok grid. Guessed the Franks tho... (6 years, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #14702: Dr Oetker is misspelled. Good grid though, tough. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Tim @ #14704: Didn’t accept ‘game’ for the the arcade connection, otherwise solid (6 years, 5 months ago)

James @ #14709: Got there in the end, took me longer than it should have. (6 years, 5 months ago)

John @ #14710: Not too difficult, enjoyable (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14707: A good grid that would be improved by accepting synonyms as an answer. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14706: Such a coincidence... I was doing a grid with Ham/Apron/Shoe/Second. Great minds, and all that! Challenging grid... only 4/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #8929: I like all your grids. Please keep submitting. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #8932: Another challenging but doable grid. Nice crossovers, Thanks, Keep up the good work. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14691: Good grid, nice and simple. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #8935: GOOD one. Nice balance of crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14708: Managed to get the groups but failed to identify two of the connections. A good challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14706: +2 stars for actually writing a group I could get. -2 stars because I was halfway through putting it into my own grid... (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14702: Well thats made me feel much better about my 1/10. (6 years, 5 months ago)

joe @ #10738: got em all great grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14707: Managed to solve this one within the time. Fair challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14691: Nice grid if only it had accepted currencies! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14691: Agree with other comments. I typed "currencies" and it didn't accept it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Oscar @ #14240: I am also livid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Oscar @ #14240: I am Wilde with an e (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14671: Excellent. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14705: Interesting grid. I guessed the acronyms as I was unfamiliar with two of them. I am not sure continuous verbs is sufficient for a connection, but not a bad effort nonetheless. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14704: I'll probably never identify a pokemon-themed connection as I know nothing about it. Just 7/10 here. Great challenge with crossovers. Well done for setting a tough one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14671: Original and lots of fun. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Adam Zapple @ #14682: Good stuff, well done! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Rooj @ #14702: 3/10... Not up to scratch with the poker or TV detectives, and threw me off with Goodfellas. Nice one though! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Rooj @ #14703: Genuinely fiendish with the inclusion of the two palaces and two bonus football teams, nice! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Sue @ #14408: I put "not straight", and was marked incorrect, despite this being the first of two parts of the answer, both parts meaning the same thing. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14703: Clear connections but lack of crossovers made this straightforward. Cracked it in less than one minute. Thank you for setting. (6 years, 5 months ago)

SteveBG @ #14703: Sneaky with all the football teams! But I got it in time. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #14691: Great grid, thank you (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14702: Sorry to disappoint! My poker knowledge is obviously not up to standard... nor my Mr L knowledge. That said, excellent crossovers. Good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14702: This one shouldn't be too obscure; I hope for a few 10/10s here. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jim @ #14690: I linked the "out" group yet another way, as they can all follow "black." (Blackstone being a proper name, like Harry Blackstone or Blackstone's Commentaries.) (6 years, 5 months ago)

A Surfeit of Eels @ #14683: Echoing RossChris on this one. ;) Deaths would be more accurate. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Grugen @ #14689: Went round in a massive proto punk circle there, but hey-ho (let's go), 4/10 for me. Got me good. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14696: Was tempted to include "tenderising/ingredients" in the anagrams. Thought that was possibly a step too far! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Grugen @ #14687: Same got me as well, grid of the week for sure (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14696: Another magnificent grid. Terrific range of crossovers. You got me with the anagrams - I did not spot these - and there was nothing "incidental" about pierce!!! Thank you for the fine challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14691: 7 this time... didn't accept currencies (I gave myself that one!). Good groups. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14690: Good grid... tough though! I opted for 'age' in the cold category (which also works). Still only managed 4 tho! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14688: 2/10... otherwise bamboozled! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14687: Exactly the same as RossChris... nice puzzle (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14691: Another enjoyable grid; solved this in less than one minute which was rather satisfying. Thank you once again. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14690: Enjoyed this grid very much. Good connections, some crossovers, and a sound challenge. Manged 10/10, thank you for uploading. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14689: Enjoyed this grid; neat crossovers. 10/10 but a good test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14688: Interesting grid. I know where you are coming from with the bishop in chess, but that is very much an unofficial scale. Still, a fair challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14687: Good grid with some crossovers. Did not get the film connection so only 7/10 on this one. Thank you for the puzzle. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14686: Very straightforward and finished this in record time. Some crossovers would make it more of a challenge but a fair grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

beechio @ #14686: I wrote National Parks, and Blue for the first two and was incorrect.. Other than that, nice grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Joan @ #14684: Clever! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Napoleon Wilson @ #14682: 10/10, but good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Napoleon Wilson @ #14683: maybe use killed rather than executed (6 years, 5 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14684: Thanks for the great explanations. It's always nice to learn something. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14685: That connectionbeluded me, too. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14684: Thanks RC... (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14685: No idea about Canadian towns. Found it tricky (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14683: Hmm. I am not sure about the execution connection. Henry I was not executed and Edward II"s death is the subject of debate and speculation. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ahau @ #14675: Good fun (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14684: Marvellous. Great connections and wicked crossovers. Loved this grid. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ahau @ #14683: Wonderful got the killer (6 years, 5 months ago)

Moi @ #14554: As a Canadian, this was fun. Thanks for using the CORRECT spelling! :D (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14671: Good stuff. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Moi @ #14556: Nice one! Thank you! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14671: Good grid but made more difficult by having an `e`missing from the end of Burning down the house. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14676: Great grid, lots of crossovers and lots of options throughout. Enjoyed it (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14671: Very entertaining. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14682: Yippee! 10/10 on a RossChris grid ;-) Very well constructed. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14682: Hopefully this one will prove to be less challenging than some of our more recent ones. (6 years, 5 months ago)

mikk @ #14678: väga lahe (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14676: This was a good challenge which I managed to crack and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14675: Managed to solve this one quite quickly. Some useful crossovers and a nice grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14674: Oh dear. I am obviously making these too tough. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14676: Apart from connection requiring very good football knowledge (which I don't have!) a straightforward grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14675: Very straightforward :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14674: Definitely Fiendish - 1/10 for me too! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #14676: Good grid, footballers was what i was looking for, didn't see scorers (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14674: Another 1/10 for me :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14671: It took me a few seconds to cotton on but it was fast and fun after that. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14668: Also 0/10, and I can safely say I was miles from a better score (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14671: Thumbs up (6 years, 5 months ago)

Viper @ #8441: Great grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14668: Totally beyond me! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Viper @ #186: Hidden numbers almost had me (6 years, 5 months ago)

Viper @ #2661: Saw the animals straight away which helped, if i hadn't would have been on it for a while (6 years, 5 months ago)

Viper @ #7793: Quite easy for once, probably helps that i'm a fan of all the topics!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14667: A toughie but a goodie. Pretty sure I got the same two connections as lebamski. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14674: I may not have allowed for the possibility of maiden names in one of the connections; this is of course correct and award yourself the point if you put this. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14672: This was difficult. The nature of the connections was fairly obvious but with so many possibilities it was tough to identify the correct links. Good challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14671: Simple but fun. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14667: Very tough but enjoyable. I spotted two of the connections, but the others eluded me completely. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14668: I scored 0/10. Very tough. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14671: Haha I liked that one. Well thought out. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14671: Well, that was very different. Solved it without much difficulty but it was fun and thank you for setting it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14668: Great grid. Only found two groups and connections. Well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14671: Ha! What a lot of fun! Thanks for that. (6 years, 5 months ago)

OnanKeating @ #14671: Sorry, guys - missing an 'e' in there (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14666: Good (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14667: None followed by three . Hard but good (6 years, 5 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14661: Fab! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14658: Enjoyed it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14658: Enjoyed it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14666: Found the groups but the Park connection escaped me. Good grid with crossovers, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14665: Great grid. I put Doctor Who for the connection and assumed there was a misspelling with John instead of Jon; didn't know about John Hurt. So maybe just 7/10 instead of 10/10. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14664: Fair challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14662: Very entertaining. Good explanations too. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14665: Got the groups pretty quickly but scuppered by the first names connection. Good one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14664: If I put my pedantic hat on, it's Regent's Park, not Regent. Thanks for setting (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #14649: Great grid, thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

beechio @ #14665: That was hard - but brilliant answers! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14662: No problem. Doesn't mean I did well on this one though haha, didn't have a clue. (6 years, 5 months ago)

OnanKeating @ #14657: Thanks for feedback, guys - new here so still finding my feet. One comment - full name of St. Vincent includes ‘& the Grenadines’, including as appended to the Commonwealth Charter, as member country signatories. While ‘Australia’ is of course a film, it doesn’t work the other way around. Cheers (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14660: Greenhead is an obscure type of fly. A tough one admittedly but I liked it as a crossover. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14657: Peoples republic of China and republic of China are not two separate countries. so the grid isn't correct. Also Australia can exchange for St Vincent to still form those groups. Nice idea for the groups but unfortunately they don't work (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matt @ #14658: Never heard of dog face (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14659: A nice idea, but one I think most would struggle to get a hold on in three minutes. Not one I enjoyed, sorry! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14661: Thanks RC... think we need some easier ones now & then... especially on a Monday! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14655: Enjoyable with some good crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14661: Smashing grid, FirstGofer. Managed to solve it within the time but a lovely challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14662: Got hung up on Clodagh which was my downfall. Now that's a sentence I never expected to write!!! Good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14660: Tricky with some good crossovers, and I did get the "Spear" group! Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14662: Thanks to Andy P for providing the inspiration for this grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14660: I concur with FirstGofer; a good grid with tricky crossovers. Found the groups but I too would never have got the Spear group. Thank you for the fine challenge. One of your components (is that the term?) has given me an idea for a connection so I shall use this in my next wall. The group it will be contained in will be quite different, of course. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14653: Thanks to everyone who has commented, and apologies to those whose names I didn't include in this grid if anyone feels left out! Perhaps in a further 100 grids' time? (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14654: Good grid spoiled only by the non-acceptance of 'collective nouns' and 'beam' (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14658: Nice one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14660: Good grid... Was never going to get the Spear group... ever! Can I ask what Greenhead is? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Peekay @ #14659: Incomprehensible (6 years, 5 months ago)

PhilB @ #14654: They are collective nouns... "groups of animals" is something a 6 year old would say (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14653: Wow! 100 grids - thank you! Quite chuffed to have featured in this. Got all the connection except E L Wisty one. Looking forward to many more RossChris grids. :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Nb @ #14657: Nice premise but they can be grouped in quite a few ways. Unfortunately let down by the ultimate sin of a non unique solution. Australia and st Vincent can be swapped (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14654: Although trespass is predominantly a tort (i.e. a civil wrong) under the law of England and Wales, it may be a crime under other jurisdictions and in English law there are statutes which make specific instances of trespass a criminal offence; e.g. trespass on the railway. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14657: Didn't crack this one but managed to find an alternative solution to the entire grid, i.e. four different connections which are just about viable, based on Africa, the Caribbean, Island or island groups and Olympic host countries. The Indian Ocean may also be a possible link. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14659: Completely and utterly stumped by this. Failed to identify a single group and, once they wee revealed, the same was true of the connections. Too tough for us. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14658: Very good grid with relevant crossovers. Good stuff. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14657: Scored 4/10, decent premise for a question just some of the groups were a bit obscure. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14659: I didn't like this grid. It requires too specific knowledge. I work in an office that regularly makes outbound calls to countries across the world and I still didn't have much to go on here. That said, I did get one point, purely on the basis of knowing what connected France and UK. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14658: Really neat grid and not too difficult, makes a nice change compared to some recent ones from others. Cheers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #14646: good (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14649: Fun! (6 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #14651: nice (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14655: Nice grid. I only got one row in time, but knew all the connections when it was resolved. And that's exactly how it should be. :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #14654: thanks (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14653: Brothers and gridders within seconds the other two only the connections we’ll done (6 years, 5 months ago)

OnanK @ #5633: Nice one (6 years, 5 months ago)

????? @ #5574: define famous (6 years, 5 months ago)

dunno @ #14654: trespass is surely not a crime (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14655: Yep. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #14653: Oh dear! What was I thinking? Mea culpa! (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14655: Good grid. The fiver line connection was a bit knowledge specific and I didn't know it but the rest was accessible and I enjoyed it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14654: Nice one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14653: Wiz. Do you mean gridders? Mister Tom and the others might not be too forgiving if it was a Freudian slip ( though I am innocent of any contact with dating websites you can't help but hear about these things). (6 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #14653: Thankyou two too! Quite an achievement. Like the grinders line, very apt! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14653: A fitting way to bring up the century. Congrats and thanks to you both for the many fine grids. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14655: Good grid, we enjoyed this, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Joe @ #14649: Very good (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14652: Good grid with crossovers and it caused me some problems but I got there in the end and just within the time. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14654: Managed to crack this. Good grid with crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14650: Good one. (6 years, 5 months ago)

three-ferrets @ #14652: evil--but good (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14654: Would not accept .....beam or collective noun for animals. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14649: Clever, like the word links. Got 7/10 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14654: Really good. Got 10/10 and there was a nice mix and some overlaps. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pamela @ #14208: My second line was fourth (6 years, 5 months ago)

No Thankyou @ #14202: ? (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14653: That is phenomenal output. It took me a couple of years to do a dozen. I have enjoyed your grids. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14653: A minor milestone for us as this is the 100th wall which we have submitted; 96 of these are from Ross and 4 are from Chris. To illustrate how much we enjoy setting and solving walls, and to show our appreciation for the feedback received, we have paid tribute to some of the other setters of grids on this board. We doubt the grid itself will pose too many difficulties to solvers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14630: Great explanations. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14650: Enjoyed this one very much. Managed to solve the wall. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14649: Cracked this one. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14648: Got the groups but not every connection. A challenging test, thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jackson Rumley @ #8403: Tango is a dance, that is the only thing that threw me off (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14281: Doing alright until whale not accepted (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14282: Would not accept biblical names of ways of crossing water! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14647: The crossovers combined with the common theme made it very tough. Thanks for the grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14646: I was radioing for help at the beginning but it resolved itself. Nice one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14645: Found the groups but the horsemen were my undoing. Thanks for the clever grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14641: I had three of the connections but the groups defeated me. Thanks for the workout RossChris! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Joan @ #14585: Think hedging should have been acceptable! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Joan @ #14630: A pleasant grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14647: A very tricky grid with crossovers in abundance. Quite a challenge! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matilda kite @ #14507: This is rubbish!!! Has anyone seen my wallet?? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Hugo Blackwell @ #14507: What a terrific grid. Makes the Telegraph look like tissue paper. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Fred Hobby @ #14507: If I ever see that Bamforth in real life, I’ll glass him !!!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Fred Hobby @ #14507: If I ever see that Bamforth in real life, I’ll glass him !!!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14646: Very clever! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14644: Fine grid, Firstgofer. Found the groups but failed to identify the trucks connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14645: Generally good. The Legend line felt pretty tenuous, since some of the words are associations/synonyms while others are incomplete phrases. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jean @ #14323: Good grid but pantomime characters surely should be marked as correct! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ellen @ #14646: Good one. Looked way to hard at the beginning but I got there. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Coochies @ #14644: Excellent grid, well done. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14646: I used to be FirstGo, until I'd set too many grids... there is now another firstgo! Challenging grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14646: A great grid. Definitely no shortage of crossovers there. Managed to solve it within the time. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14645: A very good challenge with relevant crossovers. Thank you for setting. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Juliet Bravo @ #14646: Very clever! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14641: This defeated me, but I got three groups. Very tough but enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14645: Great crossovers, very enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14646: Looks fiendish at first, but challenging and enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Firstgo @ #14646: I enjoyed this one took a while but got there in the end. Thought there was shakespeare in it and dances (6 years, 5 months ago)

BrianBrain @ #14646: Probably been done before but this is good quality. Like the cars group! My grandad had a Vauxhall Victor. (6 years, 5 months ago)

StevieG @ #14646: Nice - lots of crossovers but still doable (6 years, 5 months ago)

4x4 @ #14644: I liked the truck one. The rest were a bit easy. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14641: Sorry, FirstGofer. I thought I had set it up to allow psychological and even psychiatric but maybe I used the nouns instead. Give yourself a point, even though the lovely Vicky would have insisted on psychoanalysis!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14641: Challenging grid - only scored 3. Would have been 4 if it had accepted psychological terms. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14345: Think plants should be accepted for the shrubs. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14435: Didn't accept synonyms for treed areas of army terms. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pip @ #14175: Still the best walls on Puzzgrid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14641: One line then 3 connections I think that’s not bad for this one (6 years, 5 months ago)

phoebe waite @ #6591: (6 years, 5 months ago)

phoebe waite @ #6591: (6 years, 5 months ago)

TruthTeller @ #56: This was a load of bollocks. You should be ashamed of yourself, Jenny (6 years, 5 months ago)

Donald Trump @ #14594: lol (6 years, 5 months ago)

rabbit @ #14638: Absolutely top-notch username (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #14638: Onan: You picked the correct name at least. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14632: Stephen Hawking was an atheist. I didn't refer to him specifically in the explanation as I didn't feel I needed to. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14633: Thanks for commenting, Lebamski, and sorry if it was too taxing. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14632: I can't see an explanation for Hawking. Very tough. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14633: Too tough for me. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14638: Some flimsy connections, and some which make this quite unenjoyable. Not for me, sorry! (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14630: Love it, nicely done! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14638: What's going on? Really don't need to know half of this! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14634: Unnecessary all round... please remove. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14632: Got the groups but not the connections, except Mr Twist. Hard! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14631: That means I'm old! Damn! Good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14630: Fab... failed to find a 'man'. Very clever connection. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14638: I find at least one of these connections to be totally inappropriate for this board. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14634: I will not even look at a grid submitted by someone with such an inappropriate name. I hope to see this removed from the board. (6 years, 5 months ago)

como ganhar dinheiro no gta 5 online ps4 @ #2059: Ei Obrigado pelo momento maravilhoso neste site. Manter o . Desde I amor novamente. https://www.minds.com/blog/view/831934162868572160 (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14630: Enjoyable. No obvious group but ultimately came apart most satisfyingly (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14598: Multiples of 1000 should also be accepted. (6 years, 5 months ago)

The wallmaster @ #628: Another Londoncentric grid. Shameful (6 years, 5 months ago)

The wallmaster @ #14462: There's really no need to be this much of a pervert (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mengi @ #9947: Mean, identified the groups shame it did not accept birds, language nor island dwellers (6 years, 5 months ago)

The wallmaster @ #14634: Fantastic wall! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14601: Thanks for the recent feedback, everyone. This is embarrassing. The Bill Bryson title is A Walk in the Woods, not Into the Woods. I have read it. There is a copy sitting on one of the bookshelves adjacent to my desk as I type, as is the case with the other works; and I still managed to get the title wrong!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

The wallmaster @ #35: Honestly Jenny you can do one (6 years, 5 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #14621: Good one! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14630: Good one. Scored 7/10 after not getting the -man suffix ones. Much more user-friendly than most other grids right now :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14631: Clever, but very tough for me - probably easier for those of an older generation. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14632: Sorry for any frustration caused. Sweat bee is a common name for various bees that are attracted to sweat. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #14630: No TV or music trivia, minor cross-overs, easy groups... makes the perfect lunch-time fodder for me :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Snodden @ #14601: Great cross overs. it beat me but I enjoyed trying. (6 years, 5 months ago)

comment #023578 @ #98: decent. pwoper decent. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Snodden @ #14632: Ouch. Sweatbee??! Instead of red herrings I couldn't find a single connection, with another half hour I'd have got Oliver twist maybe. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14631: I enjoyed this one and managed to solve it. Well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Shoepigeon @ #14630: Enjoyed it (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14630: That was a magic grid. I also liked the "watch others" line. Good stuff. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14609: I put popes so it didn't affect me (6 years, 5 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14630: 'you can watch others do at the gym.' Spot on. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14630: liked it (6 years, 5 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14622: Great fun! Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

The wallmaster @ #1875: What kind of dickhead knows about car rental companies? Not fitting for an intellectual site such as this (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14601: Tough but enjoyable with some great crossovers and connections. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14622: Managed to crack this one, which is not always the case with numbers grids. Happy! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14621: I concur with Lebamski and suspect the connection which may have eluded him was the one that also eluded me. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14607: "acid" was not an acceptable answer for the acid group. I also put something which I now know was completely wrong for the "Will" group but was given the point! Other than that, an enjoyable grid. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Calryd @ #3454: I missed a point saying they were named after gods (which the planets were initially, so maybe worth expanding the definition!). (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14610: Some great crossovers and varied connections. Enjoyed this. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14621: Three connections quite easy to spot, but an enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14622: Some challenging crossovers and connections. Enjoyed this one. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

nimaj @ #14594: gud (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jamie @ #14592: (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14610: Got into a right flap with the hidden birds and had to leave these until last. Tough challenge; thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14609: You are too generous RossChris! Puskas was an error - sorry folks. As there's no edit button, please award yourself a pat on the back if you entered footballers for that group :) (6 years, 5 months ago)

NullDiggity @ #14610: Nice range of categories (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14609: Got the groups but did not get the goalkeepers connection. The great Ferenc Puskas was not a goalkeeper though there have been other players named Puskas and one of them may have been. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Donald @ #14609: I don't think Puskas was ever a goalkeeper. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14583: Didn't accept Tom... or Joints. :-( (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14601: good nearly done it (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14608: A challenging grid. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14607: Liked this one very much, especially the Grace connection. Very good stuff. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14606: Got the groups but overlooked one connection. Good grid; thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14604: Quite a challenge and failed to find all the connections. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14603: Enjoyed this grid and managed to crack it; I shall forgive you for using two of my most recent ideas! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14601: Thank you for your remarks, folks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14596: Thank you both for taking time to comment. Much obliged. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14591: Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Cityboy @ #14601: Great grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14589: Nice. Fun to do. (6 years, 5 months ago)

David @ #52: IR i didn't know either and solved it (though didn't get the connections for the two). Often you can use logic or feeling for language to figure out a group. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Psyduck @ #14606: Very well done!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Plater @ #14606: Really liked the one about the poets. (6 years, 5 months ago)

NINE9 @ #14606: Great Grid!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

BICKERZ2000 @ #14346: Didn't expect file or picture-files (6 years, 5 months ago)

BICKERZ2000 @ #14521: You need to add other examples for each one. Ie Disease instead of Diseases. And Hormone, instead of Hormones. Organ, instead of Organs. Very poor. Misses the entire point of the wall. (6 years, 5 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #14603: Nice grid. I got 2 groups and 2 connections, though interestingly not the exact same 2. One link came into focus once I was shown the groupings at the end---it was not the connection I had been trying for, but was perfectly reasonable. And the Spider group turned out to be much more specific and clever than I had realized, so I didn't get the extra point, but it was a great idea for a link! I also wasn't able to suss out the more British category, but that's no surprise---and I appreciated the constructor's note about subjective fame, thanks for making this US solver feel less ignorant. :) (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14598: Excellent. "SI Prefixes" should be accepted too (gave myself 10/10 despite that). (6 years, 5 months ago)

Hubby @ #14588: Bell End ;D (I am such a kid!!!) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14601: Great grid... clever. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14596: Tough one. Exercised the old cells a bit. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14585: Got them, no idea how ! Good grid thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #14589: Grazie mille folks... Emp., 49 seconds is good but not quite the fastest I've seen for this grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

steven @ #14593: whats a rabbit? (6 years, 5 months ago)

aaron @ #14594: poor (6 years, 5 months ago)

aaron @ #14593: no.. (6 years, 5 months ago)

kieran @ #14593: amazing (6 years, 5 months ago)

steven @ #14592: epic (6 years, 5 months ago)

aaron @ #14592: no. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14598: Yeah, fair point that, should have included their most common usage. (6 years, 5 months ago)

EmperorsNewClothes @ #14589: Solved in 49 seconds - all too obvious. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14598: Would have scored 10 if one group had accepted 'byte'. But I forgive you ;-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14597: Fiendish! 1 group, 1 connection. The rest was completely over my head! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14596: Hard! But good... 2 groups, 2 connections. (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14595: Good grid... challenging and good crossovers. Missed the same connection as RossChris though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14597: Got 0/10. This is tougher than the ones on the show itself, even at the late stage in the series that it's currently at. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14597: You beat us with this one; we simply did not know some of the connections. Tough grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14598: Liked this one; managed to solve it within the time. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharma662 @ #14400: Hello! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharma783 @ #14400: Hello!generic viagra india pharmacy (6 years, 5 months ago)

meh @ #14580: -40 not 40 (6 years, 5 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #14565: Fun grid! Was able to get the 4 groups in time---with the last two on a guess. Just barely figured out the tougher wordplay category as I was guessing the connections, that one is devious. Didn't quite get the exact JPL link, but was on the way there. (6 years, 5 months ago)

HeroComplex @ #14595: Thanks RossChris, glad you enjoyed it. I should also say for anyone else---I tried to include a bunch of terms for the Kent/Wayne category, but I definitely didn't catch every good description. If you put something like "Secret Identity" or "Alter Ego," then you got it right, too, no matter what the board says. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14595: Got all the groups but missed the Scandinavian influence. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #14591: Liked the island connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14589: Fab, as ever. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14589: Clever premise for a question, scored 5/10. (6 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #14589: Another excellent puzzle from the master. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14589: I could have tried the letters first... but I trusted you (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14589: Good grid. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14589: Super gridding, excellent work. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14588: This was tricky though we managed to navigate through it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14587: Just about managed to solve this one. A good challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

K @ #14537: Maybe a bit too easy! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14586: Got the groups but the Buffy connection was beyond us. Good grid, thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14585: Cracked this won and loved the anagram group. Good stuff. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14583: Got the groups but unfortunately I didn't take woodwork at school. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14580: Fine groups but some crossovers would make it more of a challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14558: Sounds as if I am getting predictable; better address that!! Thanks for the additional feedback. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Archie @ #14387: spring could SO EASILY have worked :/ >:( (6 years, 5 months ago)

M @ #14580: (6 years, 5 months ago)

M @ #14589: yay, got em all right for a change. good grid. thanks. Liked the single letter in each answer - clever! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #14587: Contains names of alcohol is not a great answer. They are drinks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

dan and bob @ #14520: we laughed (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14558: oooh - that was challenging. So many SA golfers... I was too stubborn not to include Goosen & Els. I'll follow Mister Tom's logic in future! Good grid as usual (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14561: Sorry to be picky, but with a population of less than 150,000 Pasadena is NOT one of the most populated cities in the US... I doubt anyone will get that connection 'correct'. I wouldn't have called the griffin a 'bird' myself, so opted for "mythical creatures" which wasn't accepted. Fiendish crossovers in the other 2 groups. (6 years, 5 months ago)

JOHNJ @ #14580: The Whale group didn't accept Whale only Whales - how frustrating (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14566: Like it... good premise, well executed. I'd say Wile E Coyote has four legs... he just doesn't use them all! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Magoo @ #14567: Fun! :) Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14577: 10/10! Mainly, I think, because I thought of the maverick/mel gibson crossovers for a grid while I was driving yesterday! Great grid! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharme621 @ #14400: Hello! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharme170 @ #14400: Hello!viagra from india (6 years, 5 months ago)

Queenbeth @ #14582: The mother answers? They don't make any sense at all, sorry. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14580: Entered types of whale but marked as incorrect ! ??? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14580: Interesting mix. A few clues were a bit strange, and there were not many overlaps. To top it off, I wrote "whale" and it was not accepted - maybe try to use singular forms for your keywords for the benefit of the user. Cheers though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Ben @ #14582: Not sure about the Mother answer at all. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14578: 3 lines easy face one failed (6 years, 5 months ago)

Jolly Nice @ #14135: Can you do some more please so we don't have to waste time on the dross (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14579: Not bad (6 years, 5 months ago)

Who Cares @ #14128: Not me (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14579: Solved this one as well. Fine grid. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14578: Great grid; we managed to crack this one despite the crossovers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14577: Good grid; did not get the Ardman connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #14577: Wow, that was difficult, good stuff though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Beau Bells @ #14578: Very good gridding! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Beau Bells @ #14579: Quality stuff, well done. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14572: Very clever, and tough but fair. needed another 30 seconds (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14577: Tough grid, only got the Top Gun one for 2/10. Clever though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Schneeble @ #5633: Amused me greatly, and still a good test of knowledge! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14573: Got the groups but a single connection eluded me; this is becoming a habit. Thank you for the fine challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14572: You defeated me with this one. Good challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14571: Great grid. Got the groups but not every connection. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14567: Seemed right away this was going to be a "word" grid but it was a fair challenge. Well set. (6 years, 5 months ago)

rabbiteagleelk @ #14339: the upside down number group does work with 0 1 69 181 though ... (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14566: That's a fair point JonBob. Thanks for the comments everyone. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ChrisCross @ #14122: Two minutes 59.9 seconds (6 years, 5 months ago)

ChrisCross @ #14121: We fell off our roll (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14563: Chief justices is the only one I got (6 years, 5 months ago)

Alicia @ #14408: I put 'wonky' and it said incorrect... But it even says in the description they mean 'wonky' lmao good one (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14562: Wasted time on garden of Eden which cost me (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14564: Failed but thought it was good (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14566: Over my head (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14567: Not bad (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14566: Good humour. Great grid, (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14567: I liked it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14567: Yeah fair play I thought that too, a bit of a lazy way to get some overlaps, cheers though (6 years, 5 months ago)

Matthew @ #14281: Good puzzle but “Whale” should be accepted as well as “whales”. Try not use plurals in answers. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharmf513 @ #14400: Hello! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharmb627 @ #14400: Hello!indian viagra (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #6741: WTF? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #6821: Liked this one, Nice crossovers (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14566: Cute! I'd prefer that in a case like this, the memberships to groups were just a little more definite. Does Wile E Coyote really have four legs? Depending on the season of Flying Circus, the leg shows up multiple times. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14567: Nice herrings but a bit samey- all of the connections were of the same type (6 years, 5 months ago)

Alicia @ #14562: Not fancying putting in the description what the top category is? lol (6 years, 5 months ago)

anthony @ #14566: a good leggy grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

tg @ #14556: good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14566: I see what you did there RossChris ;) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14558: Spotted Goosen early - with your grids If I've heard of someone then that's not the group they'll be in - but of course the group he was a herring for contained too many people I hadn't heard of... (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14566: Solved this one okay but had to work; was glad when I was on the last leg of it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14565: Clever but very tough, scored 3/10. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14566: Clever premise for a question but surprisingly tough to sort out the groups. Scored 4/10 from naming the groups after they were resolved for me. Cheers (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14565: Good challenge. Found the groups but once again one of the connections eluded me! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14564: Enjoyed this one and solved it fairly swiftly. Thank you. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14563: Found the groups and three connections; you can guess which one I could not identify! Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14562: Managed to crack this in less than one minute. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14561: Good connections. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14558: Thank you for your comments, Steve h and Only Me. (6 years, 5 months ago)

SylT @ #1560: Nice. (6 years, 5 months ago)

SylT @ #9214: Like it! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Mendicant @ #14532: After submitting the grid, I noticed that it works even if two of the clues are swapped, rendering it an imperfect grid. Ho hum. I hope people still find it fun and satisfying. (6 years, 5 months ago)

G @ #14561: Number of spelling mistakes (6 years, 5 months ago)

Happytoday @ #14559: A wonderful typo probably. I love a good typo..Bager....😂😂 (6 years, 5 months ago)

chris @ #583: Response to answers not accurate enough. (6 years, 5 months ago)

chris @ #14559: whats a bager? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Happytoday @ #14559: I feel the more out of place one is sexualities. The others have a theme of entertainment at least. Could have been more challenging. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #14559: RossChris - yes, Harry Potter is very inappropriate. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #14559: What's a Bager!! 🤣 (6 years, 5 months ago)

JamesD @ #14553: Nice grid, but should be Krebs Cycle, with an S on the end. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #14558: Yep, very clever grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pip @ #14097: We stared at it for 10 seconds and gave up (6 years, 5 months ago)

Madison @ #599: In response to Al, "Lady Fingers" is also the name of a character appearing in the Addams Family television series, so lady is correct. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14559: Didn't identify what was significant about the years; and one of the connections is inappropriate for this board, in my opinion. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10906: Up group ?? (6 years, 5 months ago)

JonBob @ #14554: This American did not struggle with the American one. :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10902: Agreed! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10899: Love it! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10898: Kon? (6 years, 5 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14548: Alicia, thanks for your comment, however, the eminent American comic the grid relates to had an "s" at the end of his name. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14551: 0 out of 4 then answered easily in other words I was useless (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14554: Ok with 3 most would struggle with the American one? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pharmc431 @ #14400: Hello!viagra from india (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14557: 10/10... thanks to generous solutions! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14557: It is a fun and topical grid so I am happy to grant a fair bit of leeway in the connections on this occasion. Glad you enjoyed it, Grugen. (6 years, 5 months ago)

SteveWakey @ #14555: Yes indeed toeswest a slight mistake on my part, this is what happens when you try and submit something in the early hours of the morning. Many thanks for pointing it out. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Grugen @ #14557: Hmm, I got all the connections more through luck than judgement. Your linking terms are very generous here. Still, I'll take it. Cheers! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14493: My pleasure, koshatnik (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14556: Ah yes, good point. Sorry about that. Award yourself a moral plus one :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14556: Good grid... nice crossovers. I opted for Saint rather than disciple (or apostle), which they all were. But i'm just being pedantic! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10894: Female names poor (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10889: Children in our class group is pretty pointless. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14369: Church ranks not accepted for clergy (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14549: I loved the anagrams, but not so much the rest. I kept thinking "junk" because of space and mail so that led me nowhere, ah well. Cheers (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14387: Agree that Authors should be accepted and all.the garbage words can precede him but that was not accepted. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #2096: Nice and easy :-) (6 years, 5 months ago)

Pip @ #14089: A beacon shining in the mists of mediocrity (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10877: No she is not! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Steve h @ #14531: Happy to get boxers and mp's Never heard of the other two (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14546: You beat me with this one. Got the groups, eventually, having navigated the possibilities with all those crossovers but did not identify every connection. Tough challenge, thank you for setting it. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Alicia @ #14548: I think you should accept 'field' not just 'fields' (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14545: Not sure I like the "wee" connection and I hate to be pedantic but some of the supermarkets are German, not UK. Cracked it despite the error in the anagram. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14543: 10/10 in less than one minute despite the crossovers. Good grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14542: That was an interesting grid; managed to crack it, even though I found "berry" a little odd! (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14541: I thought "ian" was okay and I managed to crack this enjoyable grid. Thanks. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Eh? @ #14530: Which London has an underground line called Elizabeth? (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14543: Simple connections but some nice crossovers. An enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Hubby @ #14543: Fairly easy to work out the ideas but good crossovers helped with the challenge. A nice grid!!! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14541: "Ian" feels a bit tenuous as the other three in the group are two word phrases. A fun grid though. Thanks! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #11311: Tricky anagrams. Didn't see them. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Bryan @ #14522: Managed to solve the grid but some of the links were rather specialised. I've never heard of a punnet square. Nice theme though. (6 years, 5 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14520: Oo er! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Only Me @ #583: Enjoyed that. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Wz @ #14531: Lovely grid, thrown by The Chase, as you intended! Clever crossovers! (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14486: Fun grid, got 7/10. Not familiar with the Walrus and the Carpenter so didn't have a clue there. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Redkite @ #10875: Not great - careless re groups (6 years, 5 months ago)

Andy P @ #14520: This was hilarious. Nice bit of comic relief in the middle of all the serious ones. Ignore any negative comments I say. (6 years, 5 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #3456: Nice - just about right for my level. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14485: I am really sorry about that, everyone. I have clearly made an error and I apologise if this detracted from the enjoyment of the challenge. (6 years, 5 months ago)

RossChris @ #14529: I take your point, Sue W. I had an advantage as I used to be given an Oor Wullie annual every second Christmas (they came in in alternate years with The Broons annual) and that got me started. I enjoyed the grid. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Sue W @ #14529: There was nowhere to start. All but two items were boys' names, so there were dozens of possible categories. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14527: 10/10, thanks to Ballas. I liked that clue as it opened the rest of the category up. A good effort. (6 years, 5 months ago)

Dr Foster @ #14521: Didn't accept hormone for hormones, illness for diseases or organ for organs. Not good :( (6 years, 5 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14521: Agree with RossChris - the addition of some crossovers would increase the challenge (6 years, 5 months ago)

YellowDog @ #14509: Good grid (6 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14447: It's all been said a!ready. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ivan knjizar @ #8000: pusite ga (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14437: Colours and ponies not accepted :-( (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pharmf702 @ #14400: Hello! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pharmd816 @ #14400: Hello!generic viagra india pharmacy (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14434: Got it except it didn't accept novelists instead of c20 authors (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14432: Enjoyable one thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #13313: Lol - what? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Boris @ #14078: If it had been Moscow suburbs that would have been easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

JamesD @ #13977: Wonderful grid - I absolutely loved the quark shadow group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14499: A very fine grid. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14504: Good grid and a fair challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14505: Enjoyed this a lot and the crossovers are deceptive. Good one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14514: A fine grid. Thank you for setting a sound challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14515: Very good. Enjoyed this and managed to crack it quickly despite the crossovers. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14516: Yes, a fair grid but two capital connections might throw up the possibility of alternative solutions based on different considerations. That said, none is leaping to mind. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14517: Liked this one with effective crossovers. Thank you for the test. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14519: I concur with Steve h; this was straightforward though the connections are useful. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14520: Yes, well..............the lack of crossovers means it is difficult to cock this one up. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14521: A medical speciality grid, but fairly straightforward due to no crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14526: A fine challenge! (6 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #14514: A rare treat to see my hometown name-checked! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex @ #14462: Great! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Feebert @ #14520: Brilliant! (6 years, 6 months ago)

M Whitehouse. @ #14520: No need for this on Puzzgrid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14521: Got the Lines Not the connections (6 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #14499: One of my favorites in ages. The animal line toed the right side of the line between fair and unfair, by avoiding the "just has a word inside it somewhere" trap from other grids. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #14495: Lots of swapping for me and still didn't complete it. Nice grid regardless of error. (6 years, 6 months ago)

colleen @ #14515: great wall (6 years, 6 months ago)

ThinkTwice @ #14492: Nice - a lot of "Aha" moments after it was resolved. Plus... all those rivers! :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Toeswest @ #14483: Nice grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14511: Should be a new one higher than fiendish (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14513: Struggled Good but hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14516: Population one will stump most (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14519: Pretty straightforward Not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

steve @ #14483: hmm I put 'book' for the repeated word one and it accepted it. undeserved victory for me (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wagner @ #14464: Siegfried, I think you'll find. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ph @ #14460: when was the last time you listened to radio 1?!?! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #98: Why is not pronounced Y. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MB @ #14499: Hooray, solved this one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14516: Two very similar group connections. Other than that, some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14515: enjoyed it but didn't accept London Mainline Stations - but that's a small quibble. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8515: Not bad but needs some crossovers to make it more interesting. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8508: "God" as a person in power? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14515: Plenty of good crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14513: Lots of fun, thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14513: Terrific grid! V good crossovers (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14514: apologies up front for not accepting a crucial word in the Montgomery group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14512: Goodness me! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14511: Almost got it... failed on the counties solution and mistyped the authors. Great grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14504: Sorry people, it should have been. My entry into solution was "bird, songbird" :-( (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14509: An enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14511: This completely stumped me. Great grid though. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

truecockney @ #14496: Thanks for the feedback all. I tried something a bit different and obviously not as good as I had hoped! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14509: Fine gridding. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14510: Very well put together. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #14511: That was very tough and challenging. Good work! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fart @ #14485: @Anne Witton - me too :( (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14495: Good spot! How do peeople mark those? I always give the 1/5 which seems harsh as theyre often more fun than genuinely bad grids, but they do fail rule 1. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14511: 10/10! but doing the previous one definitely helped. Always nice when you can identify a group because you recognise its red herring... (6 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #14511: Yep. Fiendish alright. Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14431: Sorry "party" food (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14431: Agree with the comment below about part food not accepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #9134: Never heard of those American towns. Who has? (6 years, 6 months ago)

The Barringtons @ #14074: Anyone who lives in Gloucestershire. Good wall (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14495: Thanks, FirstGofer, but I am afraid this grid cannot be described accurately as excellent as I have just realised that Rock and Dundee could be swapped meaning there is not a unique solution to the puzzle. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14504: Also put birds got the rest (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stanley Accring @ #14509: Good grid & good crossovers (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14492: Lots of crossover but actually straightforward.would solveagain (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #10999: Some great crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14508: A few more crossovers would have improved this. A nice attempt. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14266: More crossovers needed to make this a bit more challenging. Also, "tomato" wasn't accepted as an answer for the tomato group. A nice attempt. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14375: This didn't really work for me - sorry! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14275: A few unconvincing clues and connections. An okay attempt. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14272: "Drinks" wasn't accepted as an answer for the drinks group. Be careful on spelling too! A nice attempt. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14475: Some good crossovers. An enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14504: "Birds" wasn't accepted for the songbirds group which I think is a little unfair. Other than that an enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14505: Very enjoyable with some great crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14505: Good one - 10/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14496: A few of the connections feel a bit flimsy. Some nice ideas though. A good attempt. (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14499: nice work (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonny @ #14447: Pretty good, solvable grid, ruined by not accepting answers that are clearly right. Shame, but easily fixable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #14159: Nice one. Didn't see the "man" group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14484: For the Ham solution, followed by up also works. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14485: Same as Anne. Used apostrophe and everything!!! ;-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14487: Missed the bird solution... typed a guess 'musicians' and it was marked correct! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14488: Got Hogwarts and constellations... my golf knowledge (or lack of) let me down. good one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8650: Didn't like "words related to tie". Preceded or followed by "tie" would be ok. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14489: 2/10... really challenged me! Good grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14499: Very nice - very good quality, good crossovers and no reliance on obscure knowledge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8588: Liked this one a lot. Good balance of red herrings. Got two groups but didn't see the hidden numbers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14495: Excellent and challenging. Bizarrely missed the croc connection but got the throne one. Duh! (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14496: and Sub itself isn't a negative prefix. didn't accept native antipodean peoples. frustrating (6 years, 6 months ago)

Adam Zapple @ #14499: Good stuff, fairly straightforward but fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Johnk171 @ #14400: Its really a great and useful piece of information. Im glad that you shared this useful info with us. Please keep us informed like this. Thanks for sharing. aeebcefegdca (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14426: Agree with the negative comments below unfortunately. The swear words can also be synonyms for very. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14425: Did you mean cerebral? Cannot believe the town's and cities containing "on" 😠 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14422: Agree with the comment below about the food group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14410: Didn't accept racquet sports but answer "raquet sports" is wrongly spelt (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14488: Tough but fun, scored 4/10. Went with Latin names for animals for the constellations group, but I realise now that that falls short on Lyra. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sense @ #14064: Please don't (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14490: Clever, but I think you need to be more generous with the words that you accept for the categories, I lost out on a couple of points that way. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #184: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14492: Really good, nice one. You got me with the homophones. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14487: Really good grid and not too difficult. Got 7/10. I thought Wolf, Rhino and Warrior might be to do with the former TV show 'Gladiators' but no dice on that group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14499: Brilliant grid, thank you! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14499: Put infant or child, not baby. Tough to get a good definition quickly for that one; good line, though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Elano @ #14499: Meant to give 5* rating but phone keyboard acting up. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ragman @ #14496: Subjective isn't a negative, false or otherwise. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #7697: Just exactly hard enough. Well done. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14499: Excellent, one of the best I've played recently. Scored 7/10 after not getting the baby animal one. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

JamesD @ #14494: Fantastic grid - very well thought out design, entirely fair but still tricky. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alicia @ #3456: You should allow for planets to be a correct answer too (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14492: a good grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14493: 6/10 - had all the groups but couldn't pin down the cities. Thanks for the interesting grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14492: I like the connections. Easy to see once the grid is solved, much harder when you're actually playing. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14491: Fun but tough, got 4/10, never heard of Slava Coast but fair enough :) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14464: Excellent as usual, and I love a good anagram connection, pretty difficult though, 4/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #14485: I got ‘it’s a’ but it said it was incorrect (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #13346: That was a satisfying grid, thanks! The word group tripped me up, too (6 years, 6 months ago)

ThinksTwice @ #10577: Nice. Straight forward and fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14484: A couple of unconvincing connections, but some nice ideas. A good attempt. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14483: Straightforward but with some nice crossovers. I liked the connection for the "Tick" group. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14486: Simple but enjoyable. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14487: Some great crossovers, an enjoyable grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Julia @ #14490: Very one note. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #238: Replica is a noun. Replicate is the verb. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #7649: Excellent - well done! (6 years, 6 months ago)

geoff @ #14247: pretentious and therefore not solvable and the american clues used twice (6 years, 6 months ago)

geoff @ #14252: wash and phil - seriously? no (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14489: No idea how I managed 10/10 on this, but I did it somehow! A great challenging grid with some excellent crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14487: Enjoyed the categories though we found it straightforward. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14488: Thank you, peekay; you are too kind. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Theresa @ #14490: Really great!!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mary-Ann @ #14490: Love it!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14488: Finally I complete a RossChris wall......my life is complete :) Great quiz (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14464: I am sure the error in the explanation of the anagrams has been noticed. Ray should of course appear as Ayr. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14484: The bone one..I got it but I thought they were followed by up! (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #10853: A bit harsh not allowing guitar models! (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11095: Great! (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11259: I put American states ending with vowels, which is technically correct too! Nice grid though (6 years, 6 months ago)

Graham @ #14481: Another good grid with some challenging connections. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14483: Too hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14484: Be honest on here I don’t reckon anyone would get east timor (6 years, 6 months ago)

rabbiteagleelk @ #14441: seville rather than saville, no? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #14028: No, I liked the blue group (6 years, 6 months ago)

geoff @ #14420: dampen means wet weather? no sickly conocates with sweet? huh? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #13970: Wasted time on places in Kent scrambled a score in the end (6 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #14430: Warriors my fave film still didn’t get it (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14475: Hard but good (6 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #14402: Didn't accept caring. Rhonda is a valley. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14480: Got 2 connections this was hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14479: a good grid easy to do (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14475: good crossovers. Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14479: Very easy - 16 seconds! Perhaps try some crossovers/red herrings? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14464: Nice grid. Good mix of content. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #14477: Really good quiz (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #14476: Very tricky quiz! I love the concept of having European islands! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jay @ #14451: Thanks Lebamski really good feedback😁! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14474: Nice theme but not sure about the solutions. Doves are from Wilmslow, Cheshire not Manchester and I'm a bit confused by the 'solution' to the cover versions. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14470: So many potential connections... probably impossible for all but die-hard Disney afficianados. (6 years, 6 months ago)

rjo @ #14470: One for the Disney specialists, tough (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14465: Agree with the other comments: rubik's cube (6x9) and Sudoku (9x9) - I'm afraid that solution just doesn't work. Perhaps if you'd chosen Sear's or Petronas in the tall buildings category , it would have worked but as Banana said, all 4 are in New York. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14464: Nice one - challenging. Got the groups, but missed two connections. thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14460: good straightforward grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Coochies @ #14460: Very good! (6 years, 6 months ago)

frankie @ #14412: All but the last group 😁. Enjoyed 😁 (6 years, 6 months ago)

frankie @ #14415: Only got chicken! Good grid 😁 (6 years, 6 months ago)

frankie @ #14418: A little to easy 😁 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Kieran @ #14470: That was tough! I got 1 point! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Banana @ #14465: Agree sudoku and rubik's cubemail not 4x4. And New York buildings not accepted. Pretty ropey! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midter Tom @ #14458: Not all good ideas work... The problem with the Runit group is that 3 of its elements stick out like sore thumbs. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14460: Very good. Not sure how I got 10/10 here. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14468: Looked good at first but 2 of the categories - the red and blue groups - had very unsatisfying connections. Far too general. Thought the red group was Bond actors for a brief moment, a much better solution, but was ultimately disappointed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14403: Synonyms should be accepted. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wendy @ #14466: I guess I'm not very smart. I tried numerous ways to link them. Will be interesting to know the answers. I only got one right. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14430: Netherlands would be accepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14464: Only the husbands and wives for me hard but it is late (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14402: Synonyms should be accepted as commented below and I put valleys as I knew there is no gorge in the Rhondda. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14398: Jennifer Aniston link is rather obtuse and the friends group should accept "synonyms" (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14390: Synonyms of other synonymous words should be accepted or just "synonyms" (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #14393: Omegaman - good point! Is there any way to edit it to add that in? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Twiki @ #14465: Both Sudokus and Rubik's Cubes are not 4x4 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14391: Synonyms of other synonymous words to span should be accepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #14443: E.L. You beat me, tough one. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14393: The raspberry group could follow various fruits so "all follow fruits" should be accepted e.g. raspberry ripple, rhubarb crumble, gooseberry fool, lemon tea etc (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #14022: Lost will to live (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14457: Yep. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14350: Very tricky, but great fun. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14452: I got the groups although the solutions very specific. E.g. i was marked correct for south-western states and north-western states. However, incorrect for the Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois group which I identified as Mid-Western states (which they are). Southern states also wrong. Hey ho. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14457: Good one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14431: Easy but some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14452: Definitely fiendish! I got nowhere near any of the groups or connections. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #583: Good fun. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14439: I really enjoyed this one, especially the "Ford Cortina" group connection (although they're all originally from a poem by the great John Cooper Clarke - that's why I recognised them!) Thanks very much! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14451: Two groups very easy to spot, although the connections were harder to work out. More crossovers would have helped. A challenging grid though. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jellyquivvers @ #14451: That was as hard as a baby's bum👌👌 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jellyquivvers @ #14447: Thanks Puzz Grid Enthusiast!! (it's OK, I know him!!!) :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Puzz grid enthusiast @ #14447: Absolutely terrible! Call that a puzzle! Really needs improving jennifer (6 years, 6 months ago)

pendantry @ #14376: Klee is pronounced Clay. All the rest seem fine. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14436: I like the "bells" group connection. Some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14443: Good fun with some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14446: Some of the groups feel a bit flimsy. Not a good idea to have two clues exactly the same, as it's then pot luck if you hit the right one! Some good ideas though. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14447: "Simpsons" wasn't accepted for the Simpsons group, and "boat" wasn't accepted for the vessels group. A simple fun grid though. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Kate @ #14437: Shetland and New Forest are ponies not horses (there's a distinct difference). Also agree with Bink re Palomino being a colour not a breed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

HJGB @ #14447: Great grid. minor point - I put in 'watercraft' as the connecting clue and it wasn't accepted. Sailing vessels perhaps a little unhelpful as at least two of the group don't have sails. (6 years, 6 months ago)

pendantry @ #14426: Not sure where to start... - the 'ate' group can equally be 'ation' - the Red group doesn't accept 'synonyms for red' - the Bloody group should accept 'used as swear words / expletives' - the US group - weak. Sorry to be negative ... (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14439: Didn't accept 'trade names in general use'. broader answers are less frustrating (6 years, 6 months ago)

Perkin @ #14440: I need to brush up on Robert Harris books! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bink @ #14437: Palomino is a colour of a horse, the others are breeds. Agree about the snooker ball issue (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bink @ #14446: not sure... it's a bit frustrating when two boxes are the same. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jellyquivvers @ #14448: Fiendishly clever ❤❤👍👍 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #14393: They can’t be strawberry as well. Raspberry Pi is a computer but there’s no such thing as Strawberry Pi (without the ‘e’) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14442: A nice grid, shame about the typo on Bogota. I got 7/10 after incorrectly identifying the towns as being in Cornwall. Oh well :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14431: Didn't accept party food for the party food. I've done a couple of these ideas recently, strange how often they seem to be recycled. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14434: 7/10 because I typed playwrights for the authors one. Good grid with some nice crossovers, although I also used Orwell as a rivers one recently. Not sure if coincidence. Haha. Disagree with Sid that is it "very easy". (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9836: Great fun. Thank you (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9863: Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9973: Really enjoyed this and all my answers were accepted! Solo artists, duos, trios, and four piece bands! Plurals! Simples! ;) (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9981: Good one (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9983: Excellent. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9988: Enjoyed this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14432: Agree with Andy. I managed 7/10 but found it a testing grid thanks to the clever crossovers and not knowing a couple of the Orwell characters. Thanks Yeldhams! (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14435: Nice one, thanks. The Blake group should accept 'Tyger' (6 years, 6 months ago)

aaaaaaaaaaaaa @ #14422: Very easy to identify the groups because there were no overlaps or red herrings.Then impossible to get most of the groups because of the restrictive definitions. The foods are foods, there's nothing specific in that group that leads to pincho as an answer. The expletive/curse group are just synonyms. There are many alternatives to the given answer that fit the group. And I have no idea what words are required to get the point for the tv shows. (6 years, 6 months ago)

aaaaaaaaaaaaa @ #14430: Hard. But the setter needs to brush up on his/her geography. Only Vermeer was born in Holland, the rest of that group were born in other parts of The Netherlands (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9769: Nice one (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChrisWisty @ #14438: A real lack of diversity here. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14437: Easy but ok (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14432: Disagree that it was easy. Although I must have tried every other possible combination of the Orwell characters and the horse races without getting any of them. Finished 3/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14438: It’s rather too military for me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10868: Either you speak French or you don't. If not then boring waste of time. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #13800: Enjoyable. Had to explain to my 51 year old husband and 24 year old son what a merkin is! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10867: Really bad in allowing descriptors. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Glyn @ #14431: yawn........ (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10863: Niche gibberish (6 years, 6 months ago)

Glyn @ #14432: easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10860: Hardly general knowledge! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Glyn @ #14435: easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

Glyn @ #14437: The answer was HORSES... i put HORSE........really??????????? INcorrect??? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jo @ #14437: "Colours" is a correct answer -doesn't have to be snooker. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Puzzler @ #14435: Great thanks. Found all groups but only 2 links. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Turnersweb @ #14436: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Turnersweb @ #14436: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Turnersweb @ #14437: Solid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14434: Lots of guesses but did it (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14436: Blagged it somehow (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14434: Very easy, but good. (6 years, 6 months ago)

rjo @ #14427: Got one group but managed all the connections. Hard but fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yeldhams @ #14403: Thanks, like food links but. A bit too easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

geoff @ #13781: sorry but there are no giants in tolkien (there are trolls) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14427: I know it's meant to be fiendish, but crikey....give us a chance. As stated below, far too many same type crossovers mean you are just randomly clicking....I sussed the s****s group but still couldn't get a line....incredibly difficult bordering on impossible without lucky guessing (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14403: Grid was good, answers went wrong somewhere (6 years, 6 months ago)

mario @ #14426: enjoyed it thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

rabbiteagleelk @ #13252: vessels should count ... otherwise nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

mario @ #14427: to many close links to each other (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14401: Happy with 3 out 10 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14428: Struggled can’t work out if this was too hard or not my mindset (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14429: Got the lines in 25 seconds then failed on 3 of the connections too cocky (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yeldhams @ #14405: Tough (6 years, 6 months ago)

macabaret @ #14424: @Christinaangel - Champaign is a Illinois county. The red herrings are between alcohols/cocktails, US presidents, New York boroughs, aircrafts etc. Sorry if it appears too obscure. That's why I marked it fiendish. But I'll try to make them less "esoteric" in the future! :) Thank you for your feedback though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14410: After 1minute of zero ideas finished it in next minute and half not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

Puzzler @ #14427: Thanks but impossible (6 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #14370: Didn't accept seabirds or publishing houses (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14423: Tough but very enjoyable. I liked the connection for the "shield" group particularly - although I didn't spot it. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14428: The word group connections could be stronger. I also put "double" for the reduplication group but it wasn't accepted. Overall a fun grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14425: Some nice crossovers, but some of the connections feel a bit flimsy. Enjoyable overall. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FussyPussy @ #14426: The US one is weak, easy to find but weak. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SteesusChrist @ #14403: Link to pintxo? Not accepting synonym for snack? Ok (6 years, 6 months ago)

Puzzler @ #14426: PUSs, fUSsy, sUSpicioUS, instantaneoUS (6 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #14426: I tried dictionary and Google searches for the -US group to try to figure out what was intended, and came up empty. Is there a typo? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Puzzler @ #14408: Interesting puzzle ;) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14426: Didn't accept "ation" for the "ate" group which was very harsh. Didn't accept "curse words" for the curse words group. I've never heard of three of the words in your "add -us to make a new word" group. They were all capitalised, which is all I could go on to get it as a group. And I have not heard of three of the words in the red group. All in all, not my favourite wall so far :P (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jen @ #14402: Thanks. Meant Ronda in Spain (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jayz @ #14426: Great fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

pendantry @ #14402: Not bad, but could be better. Agree with Andy P - synonyms should be accepted... just put a comma between synonyms and care and it will then accept either. And... this is the pedantic bit... Rhondda has 2 Ds... unless it's a girl's name... and it's a valley. There, got it off my chest! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jayz @ #14412: Excellent (6 years, 6 months ago)

hmmm @ #14408: To have a solution as basic as 'contains won' ... makes me think some googled 'famous winnies'! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jayz @ #14425: Excellent fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14410: two solutions are so similar... not sure on this one (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14423: Good grid but obscure... Guernsais is almost a 'googlewhack' yielding only 6 results! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peter @ #14420: Very enjoyable. Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jen @ #14415: Sorry...yes! Prothesis (6 years, 6 months ago)

Queenbeth @ #14415: I think you mean prosthesis, no such thing as prothethis. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Who? @ #9430: Really easy but good grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14421: famous canadian footballer? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14424: Champaign? As in the town? Some potential here with the crossovers, but ultimately too esoteric. (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14418: a good grid plenty of red herrings well done (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14395: I liked this grid, some great crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

SA @ #14402: I liked it. Got it all but only got 7 due to my wording on the synonym one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jezebel @ #14415: Great and different (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jezebel @ #14420: Great puzzle!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14416: Very easy, needs more crossovers. I like the connection for the group including "Cuba" though. A nice attempt. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14418: I put "instrument" for the instruments group and "colour" for the colours group but neither were accepted. Appreciate the crossovers but a bit too simple overall. A nice attempt. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14419: I put "cocktail" as the answer for the cocktails group but this wasn't accepted. Other than that, a fun grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jellyquivvers @ #14410: Tricky! (in a good way of course!) (6 years, 6 months ago)

TreX @ #14408: Contain Won? Cmon...... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jellyquivvers @ #14418: Good grid! Some red herrings to look out for...... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonny Mcmuffin @ #14416: It could use some red herrings lol (6 years, 6 months ago)

1974janeen @ #14393: last four could be strawberry as well? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonny Mcmuffin @ #13892: I was confused because bridge is also a card game, but it was a good wall💙💙 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14402: That was a good one, nice one. Bit gutted that it wouldn't accept "synonyms" for the one that was just synonyms, knocking my score down to 7/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Nb @ #14291: Solution is not unique. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lars @ #14404: With what prepositions? Invite isn’t really a phrasal verb, is it ?! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14404: Hey Jen, you can’t just have phrasal verbs as the connection for all 4 groups. It doesn’t work like that. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14352: Nobility titles incorrect? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14384: Great fun and some nice crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14390: A solid, fun grid. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14399: An enjoyable grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #14390: Liked this one very much.Good range of red herrings.Also no specialised knowledge required. Struggled to see the hidden fruit but got there in the end (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14398: It was good until the Jennifer Aniston one - a sort of tenuous clue that we wouldn't get on the show itself. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14400: Well done with the shiraz (6 years, 6 months ago)

Turnersweb @ #14385: Satisfying to do.. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14393: Very nice. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14392: Pretty good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14393: Not bad I’ve never heard of raspberry tea (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14395: Couldn’t do it hard but good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14396: Knew 2 pretty hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

TreX @ #10851: seriously need to broaden your definitions here..... (6 years, 6 months ago)

TreX @ #10849: garbage (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkte @ #10852: Easy but satisfying (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkte @ #10851: Didn't get any reasons correct as did not type 'all represent ...' four times! Unimpressed (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkte @ #10849: Self indulgent nonsense; who cares about Mike? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5531: A somehow pleasant grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5554: Naval vessels a bit obscure, but otherwise neat. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5662: How would non-Londoners know ‘. Zone 5’? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5663: I don’t think two sets of captains is ok - arbitrary grouping. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Turnersweb @ #14393: Stones, throw and first come to mind .. enjoyed (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5670: Duck dynasty?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5680: Ditto darto (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5686: Quite neat. It’s juggernaut though. And like many synonym answers, the options should be wider. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #14391: Great grid! I was lured into thinking that Thomas the Tank Engine was in there! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #8731: Very enjoyable! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14390: Yeah that was a good one. Bit gutted about not seeing the hidden fruits, which basically meant that I scored 5/10 instead of 10/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #14389: It wouldn’t accept ‘start’ in the synonyms group (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #1396: Enjoyed the puzzle, but what’s a full bed?! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14390: Quite neat. Answers for the synonyms could be more inclusive. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anne Witton @ #7062: Nice! Didn’t find any of the groups but I knew all the categories. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Abs @ #14390: (6 years, 6 months ago)

TreX @ #14375: Thats 3 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.........wow, (6 years, 6 months ago)

TreX @ #8697: No way this is medium....too specific (6 years, 6 months ago)

Turnersweb @ #14387: Got snookered on one line ... (6 years, 6 months ago)

TreX @ #14385: Not the best, the who line needs some work (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14388: Not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14387: I liked it (6 years, 6 months ago)

HotHamish @ #14387: Good grid - did see some red herrings, eg (Jill) Murphy and (Michael) Bond are also children's authors (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14385: 3out of 4 who done me (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14383: Good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14387: Very straight forward grid, should've been marked easy as theres no red herrings in there. Also didn't accept Authors as correct for the group which is ridiculous, needs tweaking (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14381: Very good did 3 quite fast the stalled (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14386: Not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fart @ #14382: dB and pH ;) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14379: Great grid, nice crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #14361: Great work- loved it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

SA @ #14372: Got 10 and fast. Liked this one (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14364: Need a little more leeway in the solutions... (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14361: Great grid... Simpson threw me. Just didn't know that's what the S stood for. Learn something. Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14360: I did a very similar one a couple of weeks ago... roman gods and nicknames of symphonies. good grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14357: Excellent - tough but enjoyed it. managed the elements and states, but foxed by the others. Thanks for a great challenge (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14369: the solutions allowed are too narrow - this is a recurring theme. a little leeway is required rather than exact words. Agree with Mister Tom about the profit group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14370: Put Sea Birds - not accepted. Shame as spoils an otherwise good puzzle (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14344: I liked this, struggled with it but appreciated the challenge (6 years, 6 months ago)

666 @ #14371: Acceptable answers need to be less restrictive. (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14372: I given myself 10, although it didn't accept European Tribes. Jutes, Angles and Saxons all originated in Germany. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8705: Nice one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8720: Not bad. Unfortunately, I spent three minutes trying to group them by language, which would also be a valid solution. There's supposed to be only one way to resolve the wall. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8731: Liked this one. Nice to see a similar theme in all the links. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SA @ #14057: Nice one. Solved it but also couldn't get the football connection (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9646: Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9674: (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #9674: Nice and easy! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14349: Pretty straightforward. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11751: Excellent but very easy , (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14347: Managed to do this okay, however. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14345: Liked this one. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14338: Enjoyable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11756: Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14336: A fine challenge with red herrings to mislead. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14334: Many crossovers. Always enjoy pies and cream. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11778: I did the same as Nicola - harsh. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14333: Tough categories. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14332: Cracked this but we thought your chemical symbols connection is pushing it a bit. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14331: Managed to crack this without difficulty. Never watched BB but knew the connection nonetheless. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11134: Er - what? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14330: Found this to be not too difficult. If you take a look at the grid overall and identify the groups you get less bogged down in crossovers. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14329: We enjoyed this and found it quite doable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14328: Challenging. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #11157: Good one (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14327: Did not get the 623 connection but found the group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14326: Fun grid. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14325: Cracked this one fairly quickly but we enjoyed it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ma @ #14379: Easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14367: excellent again (6 years, 6 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14370: It's dogger bank, no? (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14371: loved the plums (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14372: tribes that settled in britain .Did not accept (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14377: 25 seconds had 3 lines finches beat me (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14377: easy but very good liked the finches (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8704: Nice one. Didn't get the London and Manchester links but enjoyed trying. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #8697: How did this one get a medium rating? Seems pretty specialized to me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14370: I put "publishers" for the publishing group but it wasn't accepted. I put "birds" for the seabirds group but it also wasn't accepted. A tough grid overall. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14364: I put "council" as the connection for the council group but this wasn't accepted. Other than that, quite an enjoyable grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14376: All ok apart from clay to klee (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14360: Liked this! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14364: I agree with Mister Tom above -lots of potential and interest, but some groups which are either too obvious, or too vague. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Head Master @ #13979: Do better next time (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14366: Dessert!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14372: There needs to be scope in the answers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14376: There would need to be some weird mispronunciations to make some of these homophones. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10836: Too samey and if you don't watch day time TV then no chance. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14375: Really? (6 years, 6 months ago)

paulayres @ #14360: vg (6 years, 6 months ago)

paulayres @ #14373: Lily (not Lilly), Patella (not Pattela) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14373: Some nice ideas, but very easy to spot the groups. Only connection I didn't get was the vowels (Also, be careful with spelling!) (6 years, 6 months ago)

DJ @ #14169: Love this (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14373: Lilly ? Pattela ? Crossovers? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Banana @ #14373: LOVE!LOVE!LOVE this quiz!!😘😍😻💏💑💋💙💚 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lol man @ #14373: I think this is a very good quiz! Omg!😁😁 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vicky @ #14350: Oh nevermind. Sorry! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vicky @ #14350: Lincolnshire is wrong; Corby is in Northamptonshire. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vicky @ #14336: This were good, it was, it was! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14369: The definition on the "profit" group is too wide = and it also would allow you to swap Marmalade and preserve. if you swapped profit for, say, PROVE or PLEASE it might have worked as then you just remove the first letter. The rest of this was very straightforward - the Pulp group and the Priest group don't have an obvious overlap with the other groups. Finally, I suggest taking your time: if you have a good grid, find a way to make it better. Remember that there are 14,000 grids already = so one new good grid is much better than 5 forgettable ones... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #14357: I think I just had a beer with a Pokémon! Thank you all. (6 years, 6 months ago)

sqiggle @ #14358: Blue Peter badges changed since I watched! (6 years, 6 months ago)

sqiggle @ #14359: Half a double act should be allowed! (6 years, 6 months ago)

claud @ #14146: I agree with Ken and Squiggle. (6 years, 6 months ago)

claud @ #14146: it is unfair that universities is not accepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #14365: Beef out. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14367: 10/10 after 18 seconds, so it was fun, albeit fairly straightforward. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jalapeno5 @ #14346: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Donald @ #14366: 'Desert' should read 'dessert', I think. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14364: Yeah that was pretty decent actually. Got 7/10 in 40 seconds. Two points though - I was a bit gutted it didn't give me "cities in Canada" for the cities in Canada - I'm not sure many users based in the UK will know that they are all specifically in British Columbia, but I appreciate you want to make it harder by being precise. Also, Bank Quay is in Warrington, not Wigan, think you're getting your rugby league towns mixed up there! :) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14346: I disagree, "acronyms" would be too general as it covers basically the entire grid, and therefore easy to bluff something you didn't know. I deliberately kept that word out of any of the solutions for that reason. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ethan @ #10405: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ethan @ #14341: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14357: Original , entertaining and not a Pokémon in sight! Great stuff. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14360: A nice grid with some clever links, though I didn't enjoy the swan clues, they were beyond me (Swan Lake aside). (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14359: Re: Andy P, I think the comedy partners aspect is important so agree that just comedians wouldn't work. (6 years, 6 months ago)

luskentyre @ #14360: Too hard for me but still an excellent first grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14358: 7/10 didn't have a chance on the Blue Peter badges. Thought that it could be "Blood __ " as that fit in with Orange, Diamond and Sport. Maybe that was a deliberate decoy - so well done, you got me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14354: Tricky for me too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14358: Yep (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14359: The hidden body parts was a clever one, the only one that got past me, so kudos for that. However I put in comedians for the group of comedians and it didn't accept it, which I think was a bit nasty. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Graham @ #14357: I liked it. Didn't work out the sports, although tug of war should have helped. I was a little miffed that it didn't accept "tonic solfa" for the do, re, mi one, but still fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Graham @ #14359: Enjoyable grid. Although I may be biased xxx (6 years, 6 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14355: Very enjoyable. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14357: Wow, that was tough. Foxed me, but I should have done better. Well done for coming up with something different. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peter Blue @ #14358: Easy but fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14359: Good grid. Well constructed and fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonny @ #14355: You should really count 'south' as correct as well as 'north'! (6 years, 6 months ago)

4by4 @ #14357: A good idea and welcome bit of originality but might have worked better if all groups had been a sequence (or a sum total) and all groups were genuinely upper case letters (although FE and SN are strong hints the other group is less so). I'd rather get a low score from a tricky one than 10/10 in 20 seconds. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Nb @ #14305: Lots if red herrings, unfortunately a couple can be swapped so the solution is not unique. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14357: 4/10. Happy with that. Similar sentiments to Andy P. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14322: ... and if it is the chain, the whole grid falls apart rather. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #8745: All companies? Unfortunately vague answers which could apply to many other things. Organs of the body - they are not body parts as such. Live and learn! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14357: Also didnt get the sport: but 10/10 is allowed to be a rarity. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #8745: All companies? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14334: :-) Should have used "court", damnit (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #14243: 'Makes of phones' is wrong? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sue @ #14346: 'Acronyms' was marked as incorrect - a bit harsh. With the tiny space I thought it has to be one-word answers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #13460: Famous gorrilas? Hadn't heard of any of them. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #13951: Didn't get the "hop" link. Followed or preceded?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14323: Fairly straightforward. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

NeddyinhisBeddy @ #14352: Nobility ? No? (6 years, 6 months ago)

NeddyinhisBeddy @ #14357: Very nice but an easier example for the sport group would’ve helped. (6 years, 6 months ago)

NeddyinhisBeddy @ #14357: Very nice but an easier example for the sport group would’ve helped. (6 years, 6 months ago)

numberwall @ #14339: Oh dear, I made a silly mistake - 25 doesn't fit in the calculator category(when rotated 52 is shown). Sorry! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #14354: No chance for me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #14357: Andy thanks for the feedback very much appreciated. I realise it was going to be tough because its different, but different doesn't make it bad. I tried after a couple of beers and messed it up ! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14341: Got there in the end! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14322: Enjoyed this and got the sporting themes right away, but the entry really ought to have been The Chain. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14321: Interesting challenge! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14318: Very general and straightforward. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14317: Good grid but very straightforward for us. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14315: Interesting challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14314: Good grid. Cracked it without too much trouble. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14311: Good challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14310: Managed to do this one and got the connections right but were not convinced that we had. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14308: Interesting challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14306: Beat us with this one. Great grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14305: Very challenging for us as well. The facial one was the first connection we saw. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14304: The names did for us here; we somehow managed to unravel the groups but two connections eluded us. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14303: Managed to solve this and get the connections. I personally think that famous New Zealanders is a bit too general considering how many there are/have been, but it is nevertheless valid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14302: Enjoyed this and managed to crack it. Great use of melon. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14301: Great grid with lots of deceitful crossovers. Loved it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14357: Very clever, not sure it will be a popular grid, but I liked it. Got the chemical elements and US states in about 20 seconds, but then couldn't get the rest at all, leaving me on 4/10. Tough, challenging, but pretty fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

6oftheBest @ #14347: “Real ales” too vague. War planes too vague (6 years, 6 months ago)

6oftheBest @ #48: Very clever (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14344: We were confused as well and agree with Mr Tom. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14353: Hey Evelyn, it’s a herb and a spice. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #14334: Excellent grid! Really pleased (as a languages teacher) I got the French adjectives connection. Nice crossovers too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #14351: Couple of errors in there, but good attempt. Thank you, as an observation it's probably best not to flood the people with too many consecutive grids. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Evelyn Wilson @ #14353: enjoyable grid, but fennel is a herb, not a spice, I think. (6 years, 6 months ago)

brucie @ #14343: typing in yard doesn't work. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14344: Never heard of any of the Ugly group! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14351: June was not a landing beach. Wimbledon is not Athletic. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Geoff @ #379: I enjoyed that. Love the computer commands. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

turnersweb @ #14340: Whoops! (6 years, 6 months ago)

turnersweb @ #14340: Whoops! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stuw222 @ #14346: Nice grid, simple but satisfying (6 years, 6 months ago)

squareeyes @ #14346: Really neat idea and got 10/10!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Tposer @ #14343: Particularly liked the children link! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dav @ #14340: Sow or sew ? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dav @ #14343: Booo!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

turnersweb @ #14342: Improving (6 years, 6 months ago)

turnersweb @ #14340: Nice to see it works (6 years, 6 months ago)

turnersweb @ #14341: Appropriate (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14339: Agree with Matt who left the previous comment. Very tough for those two categories. Got 6/10. Clever grid though (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14341: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #14339: I can't imagine anyone would ever get the lord of the rings group or the calculator group. Is this an April fool? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #33: Liked this one. Just the right mix of red herrings and varied links. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14336: The "black and yellow" group feels tenuous. Other than that, an enjoyable challenging grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14336: A goldfinch has a red face and a significant amount of white. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #8387: Loving the meta puzzle! 5 stars (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #12423: Great (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #12421: Enjoyed it. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #12429: Wouldn't accept Roger. Very disappointed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #12431: Nice. (6 years, 6 months ago)

numberwall @ #14336: Masterful red herrings! Well done. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #1405: nice one. didn't see the"blue" link. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #1405: (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14336: Fiendish is right - very well done. The hornet/wasp/bee red herrings did for me (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14334: So many pies! This is a clever and varied grid. Thanks for making it (6 years, 6 months ago)

Marty @ #14335: Ben Nevin ? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #10577: I liked this one. Just the right mix of red herrings and knowledge needed is not too specialized. Not sure about "light ray" though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #1708: We miss you abelataha (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #13953: They are fruits as far as I am concerned (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #13951: Not famous Ryan's in this house (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14331: Really good, scored 7/10, undone by the BB winners (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14224: Sadly, can swap Micro and Peri, so non unique (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14259: Some consider it bad form to mix in word (Minton, Lands) and out of word (Blood) prefixes. Otoh, I actually completed this one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #14330: Difficult. Almost too many crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14318: Great grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14317: Enjoyed this one, thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14331: With 14000 and counting Its impossible to avoid a bit of deja vu... Having said which this was enjoyable, although the first names group was a bit niche (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14332: Tough but enjoyable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ma @ #14325: Victoria cake wasted time for me (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14332: Too hard for me but good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14331: Seems to be like TV at the moment - lots of repeat groups. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14330: Some of these groups have been used many times - benefit of hindsight. Very difficult to be 100% original now. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14329: With the benefit of hindsight this is very easy as 3 of the groups have been done many times - inevitable with so many grids. (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14331: Nicely done. Came unstuck with the UK Big Brother winners but enjoyed puzzling out the rest (6 years, 6 months ago)

koshatnik @ #14329: An enjoyable grid with clever crossovers. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14321: Clever but very hard, scored 2/10 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #12138: nice distribution of red herrings (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #3608: "parties" wasn't acceptable as link for the red group? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pat @ #14317: Very good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14328: Mixing names of fictional frogs with species of frog is a little unconvincing. Overall a fun grid though, thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14327: I feel the answer for the group including "Something" needs further explanation, as I have no idea what it means! Other than that, quite a fun grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Geoff @ #14327: Tough but fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #12814: just finished it in the last few seconds. lots of red herrings. nice one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bryan @ #9214: I liked the idea of only letters for links (6 years, 6 months ago)

Tom @ #13899: "Phrases that mean man in them" doesn't make any sense. (6 years, 6 months ago)

fartbutt @ #14282: im sorry but "brian ferry" is not a river crossing (although I put water crossing so it should be accepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #3261: A clever set of red herrings. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #3305: A classy grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #3348: The song’s not one I’ve heard! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #3377: Think animals should be accepted. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14300: Got the groups but the car connection eluded us. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2946: (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14299: Another fun grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14298: We are enjoying your grids, Simon, and this was no exception. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14296: Excellent grid. Fine crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14295: Fine grid. We enjoyed this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14294: Good categories. Managed to crack this in the time. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14293: Found this doable in fairly quick time. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2749: Entertaining grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14292: Wasn't straightforward for us!! Good challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14291: Couldn't sort out all the metals and anniversaries. Tough grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14290: Yep, we fell down on the literature link as well. Good grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2787: Danger doom?. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2791: Bird names hidden should be accepted. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14287: We found this one tough. Very tough. Thanks for the challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2797: A pleasant grid, but agree mix with people should get credit. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2809: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2733: They’re not eponymous! (6 years, 6 months ago)

N @ #9780: Superb grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2535: Hurray for an Irish flavour! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2538: Clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2622: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

N @ #13644: General Hux in not an imperial officer - he is a First Order officer (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2658: Never heard of the sitcoms, but lots of red herrings! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2659: Loved the s.a. group! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2657: Neat. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2651: Nice! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2650: Very clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14325: My mistake sorry (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14325: I put "park" as the connection for the appropriate group but it wasn't accepted, which I think is a little unfair. I like the "New York" group. A fun grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14326: "Bronze age" is two words, whereas the other three need to have "age" added to the existing word to make one new word. Other than that, quite a good, challenging grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2653: Clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2296: A nice grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2298: Affogato - but a pleasant grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pamela @ #13919: No (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pamela @ #13918: Yes (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #2066: Tricky and interesting ! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5600: Some of us pronounce the h in wharf? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #5604: Interesting grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14315: All but west brom (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10511: Very varied - and tricky! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10529: What’s a tank girl?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10325: You can be a silly billy of high intelligence! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10330: Poetic forms was rejected! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #7157: Quite interesting. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #7162: Cannabis?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #14324: Done it , not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #7383: Definition for the adjectives could be more inclusive, but neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14283: Good grid though I would suggest fuller explanations e.g on the Brazil line which not everyone will be familiar with. (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14280: Joan - quite a lot of people would very much like to see Brian flung into a river. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14299: Administrative districts?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peter Davis @ #14273: Nice grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14208: Wiz.....Star spangled banner :) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14323: Not great. (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14323: a good grid , but blue cheese is not smelly (6 years, 6 months ago)

lindy @ #14315: Mary and Pat should have been accepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14321: Two good grids. The other 2 were far too similar. (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14318: a nice grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14315: Good one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

pale fisher @ #13782: Jack's [sic] (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14317: nice one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Torad @ #14314: good grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

bryan @ #8793: wrote "contain drinks" for blue group and it registered as incorrect. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14308: Very hard but I appreciated the comic relief amongst all the serious grids. Well played. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Philippa @ #186: Fiendish but fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

Philippa @ #2297: Harder than some but fun to do. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Philippa @ #583: Nicely done. Not dffcult but fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

PapaD @ #14315: We had “Mary” and “Pat” correct but not answer available was plural. More variables of the correct answers needed. That why we only graded this 1 star. Looks as youth others have had same problem with this grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

bryan @ #709: Didn't see the anagrams but wrote "crime series" and "rhyming slang" which registered, I thought unfairly, as incorrect. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FSaunders @ #14308: Fnarr fnarr... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14306: Struggled (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14314: You're quite right Jeff, have a strawberry (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14318: Nice and easy. The Queens group was very easy to identify because there were only 4 names. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14310: Good apart from the German one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14314: Pretty good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14318: Bit easy but I'd rather get 10/10 than 0 or 1. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jeff @ #14314: That's not how you spell Marshal. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Donna Keybab @ #14318: Straightforward and enjoyable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14317: Yep (6 years, 6 months ago)

Rh @ #186: Easy but nice! (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14317: easy but nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14318: easy but nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14318: 18 seconds! Whoop whoop! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14310: Good grid, well crafted (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14317: St James Park isn't old - it's current - both Newcastle United and Exeter City play at grounds called St James Park. Needs to accept singular versions for answers also. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #14317: Nice effort, did not accept stations or grounds (sorry about the spoiler.) (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14317: Good one - challenging but achievable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

wilson @ #14315: quality mate (6 years, 6 months ago)

Angie @ #14317: Well done really enjoyed it. More please. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Frenchie @ #14317: An excellent grid. Top work Mark and Ruby! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ruby @ #14317: I think that this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ruby @ #14317: I think that this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14316: Thanks for the grid. I think the skeletal group connection is a little dubious. Blood isn't exactly a function... blood cell production is. By the way, who is MRS GREN? (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14315: A suggestion... put 'key words' for answers in the singular rather than plural so it marks both correct, e.g. if someone types 'all called mary' rather than Marys, it will come up as correct. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14315: Spotted all the groups apart from West Brom. My answers for the Mary and Pat groups were correct but weren't accepted, which was frustrating. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #14294: Sloppy CAZBAH HUMBUG wants to get a life its a fun grid you D*** (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peter Davis @ #14311: Nice grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14242: Simple but effective. Nice work. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14251: Really good grid, very enjoyable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14305: Challenging... 6/10. Failed to get all the groups but got the connections. (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14308: a bit puerile (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGofer @ #14311: Good grid... but the measurements eluded me! (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14308: Only inappropriate for people with dirty minds. Good grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14310: Finding the groups was too easy - no crossovers. Identifying the actual links was harder. (6 years, 6 months ago)

R @ #14299: Ace (6 years, 6 months ago)

R @ #14308: Inappropriate (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14299: Great grid, thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

bobtgeterrier @ #2184: Good fun for us thickies! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14310: First 4 points were easy. Then the wheels fell off. Clever grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SylT @ #12397: Nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14285: Great grid. Beat us all ends up. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lingvo @ #8632: Pheonix? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14310: I liked that one, some clever links. 7/10, missed the station link. (6 years, 6 months ago)

The Real Oliver @ #13902: As satisfying as a saffron bun (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14296: Really enjoyed this, great mix with some good red herrings. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14298: Great grid. I also think the categorisation of the London group should be more general. Very enjoyable though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14283: We enjoyed this too but solved it fairly swiftly. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14281: Enjoyed this and it didn't pose any problems, even with the probable typo. But, Alan S, any more grids like this and.....you're fired! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14280: Managed to crack this one quickly, even with the naughty use of Brian Ferry. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14278: Couldn't see any crossovers here so we breezed through this. Good ideas, however. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14277: 7/10 again. Did not get the butterfly connection. Another fine grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14273: Only 7/10 for us; our knowledge of recent pop music (for us recent is within the last 15-20 years) was found wanting once again. Fine grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14271: Good grid, managed to do this comfortably within the time. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14270: Good grid. Managed to crack it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14269: Got some of them but in the time allowed we were beaten. Well sett. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Isla @ #14308: Good work, Finbarr. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14305: Very difficult, 2/10 for me (6 years, 6 months ago)

Quiz Master @ #14280: This quiz was really good - a few errors. But we all make mistakes! Well done whoever made it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Quiz Master @ #14278: I thought the quiz was really good and well thought out. What a good quiz - well done, whoever made it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

CAZBAH HUMBUG @ #14294: Agree with all re 1st line. It didn't give an answer other than the homophones. Sloppy! (6 years, 6 months ago)

CAZBAH HUMBUG @ #1473: Fiendish! (6 years, 6 months ago)

CAZBAH HUMBUG @ #8618: Agree with Dan E . (6 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #14261: Didn't accept assassinated Presidents (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14286: @Queenbeth: Gah! Apologies, that's my geographical research letting me down! Thanks very much for letting me know. If I can edit the grid or resubmit it then I will. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14301: It was a couple of weeks ago Andy - maybe I'll start signing FirstGofer! Thanks for the feedback :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14302: I scored a lovely 0/10 on this. It was a bit too difficult to be enjoyable, but I do appreciate the cleverness of some of the clues. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bink @ #14302: Found this one really hard - udder seems a little tenuous. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14301: I doubt this is really your First Go, haha. Really enjoyable grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14301: Thanks Vlad! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14301: Great grid, hats off (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14300: 4 point - a toughie! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14295: Nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

RichmondLass @ #14301: Ooh... red herrings aplenty! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Johnny boy @ #14300: Tricky, very tricky! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #14294: I put racing and it worked fine, I think they are race courses misspelt, as it cant be UK towns as Leicester is a city good grid I thought (6 years, 6 months ago)

Queenbeth @ #14286: Leominster isn't in Hertfordshire, it's in Herefordshire. (6 years, 6 months ago)

JamesD @ #14296: Happy birthday Simon! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RichmondLass @ #14298: I take issue with your London group - Putney and Richmond (both south of the river) are defined as South-West London. I opted for stations on the district line (which they all kind of are... West Ken, South Ken, High St Ken) (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14295: the pudding connection is a little vague - otherwise good grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14294: Ditto racing and didn't accept homophones of uk towns. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Brett Orr @ #8170: If you don't know what a synonym is you shouldn't be allowed on this platform!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14294: I enjoyed this one, although I put "UK towns" and "racing" for the correct groups but didn't get the points, so the descriptors may be inaccurate. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14292: Clever, but very difficult. Scored 1/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14292: Good one - pretty straightforward. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14291: With so many of the metals being able to swap with tin as an anniversary gift - Tin=10th, Silver=25th, Iron = 6th (and in some modern lists Platinum = 20th and Nickel = 21st!) - you may have been better off using less common metals such as Magnesium, Gallium, Titanium and Bismuth! (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14291: I got 3 points! Happy with that... (6 years, 6 months ago)

dabba722 @ #1653: clever (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14291: Fair play EJG, cheers for feedback. Apologies that I didn't accept "anniversary" without "wedding" as well, not sure how that idea got past me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ejg @ #14291: I got the connections but so many fall into the gift category (diamond, leather, iron, nickel, silver, gold in addition to the 4 that were correct) and element category just ran out of time trying combinations. Disappointing that the gift category didn't accept 'anniversary' too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14290: Liked it, very clever, the Camus one was my downfall I think as I struggled to 4/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14290: Got 2 groups & connections... my lack of literary knowledge! (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14286: out of my league! (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14281: perhaps try and add a couple of crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14280: As others have said... but also Bible Personnel? Maybe if I'd just typed bible rather than biblical characters. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14287: Nice! Only recognised 2 of the holiday group - the others rather obscure- but 2 was enough (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14283: Enjoyed the grid although partridge is spelled incorrectly. Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14287: Clever, liked it, but only scored 3/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10695: Joan, they are a pop duo! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #14285: Fun grid. Especially liked the Belgium group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10614: Difficult! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10931: Answers do not accurately reflect the clues. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10651: Yes, rug confusion for me too! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10678: That was WC! But I don’t want to pan it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: Nice one Dan. Hapus iawn. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10678: Think we should be acceptable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bmd34 @ #582: Portmanteaux? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10680: A bit different! Interesting! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14285: Got the Arkansas bit the rest no chance (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10683: Hurray for female choices! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14286: Just the towns for me (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14281: Hem? You mean hen. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10688: Don’t quite get bagend, but a nifty grid otherwise. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14283: I love this grid especially the Group with Brazil in it! Thanks peter Davis. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10929: All answers appear to be A? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10695: A savage garden?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10696: Liked it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14286: Very clever, but a bit above me - I only scored 2/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14270: Enjoyable, bit easy, but rather that than too hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10804: Interrogatives should really be acceptable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10805: Entertaining somehow - and tricky! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14273: Excellent, got 10/10 but it was a struggle. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10829: I think the definitions could be a bit more inclusive - but a neat grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10839: The categories are clear and relevant, but without variety. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10843: A clever grid! Hard! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10874: The singer is Billie, but ok otherwise. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lynne S @ #14280: It was a mistake. Sorry. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10924: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10940: Liked the opera group! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10967: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10968: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #10984: Nice! ( though I was never going to get Chelsea managers!) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14248: Nice one,! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14269: I think the definition of a the games one needs to be better of more inclusive. Palindromes read the same both ways. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Raymond @ #14271: In what way are Joel, Gibb, McCartney and Dylan not musicians? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14280: You can’t just fling in a Brian like that!, (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14252: Neat. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14268: Good crossovers (6 years, 6 months ago)

ChrisRossWisty @ #14280: Brian Ferry ???? Eh??? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RickRoll @ #14278: Good apart from the somewhat lame final group (6 years, 6 months ago)

Charlotte @ #14278: I disagree with the spellings for the final group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mlle Delaney @ #14276: Yaaaaaay I got all of it right and only lost one life. I am the boss. Go me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14266: I put types of tomato and it was incorrect. You need to allow the singular as a correct answer. Didn't know it was empire but it was too easy a group to find. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14275: (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14272: Dor chester doesn't work when the clue is Door! (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14275: Didn't really work for me... sorry! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RickRolls @ #14275: Boys ? Are you sure ? Boys E, maybe. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Coneheads @ #14259: Thoroughly enjoyable grid there RossChris. We were personally fans of the Badminton inclusion - I suspect his grapes may be slightly sour. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14263: Good stuff (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14268: Good stuff. Took me two goes - lack of Steely Dan knowledge was my downfall. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #8199: Surprise doesn't work (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #10280: Brilliant grid. I went down the bridges route too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #8000: 15 seconds PB!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #519: Ani? Googling that one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14273: Another good one, easier on the brain than the last but just as enjoyable. Sláinte! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14271: Evil crossovers, excellent grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #5983: Good starter (19 seconds - my record) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bob R @ #14273: Seems to work. welcome to the site! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14270: How else tbf? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #2652: The anagrams are self-contained (no links to other groups), so fairly easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

HotHamish @ #14270: Good grid, but not sure 'for' and 'four' are pronounced the same (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14270: An easy one... but the books solution could also be saints. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14264: needs red herrings. It was too easy to find the groups as each answer only had one possibility. i.e. only 4 lakes, only 4 characters from TBBT, etc. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14268: A great challenge with misleading options. Found the groups but did not get the music connection. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bink @ #14261: Good one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bink @ #14260: Just wondering why some are capitalized and some are not? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10926: Depending on the order solved some of the explanations make little sense! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10924: Who is Meredith Brooks?! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex H @ #14244: Tricky! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex H @ #14245: Good fun! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex H @ #14248: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex H @ #14249: Yardarm?! Difficult! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex H @ #14251: Satisfying (6 years, 6 months ago)

Alex H @ #14263: A good medium grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14264: I sat through the musical in London a few years ago, unfortunately, just to see what all the fuss was about. It is the only time Chris and I have been to the theatre and, at the interval, debated whether or not we should go back in for the second act. In the end, we did; but we could just as well have passed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14264: very good did not know wicked songs (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14266: Good grid and managed to crack it without stressing out. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14264: Enjoyed this grid very much. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14263: Managed the full score on another fine grid. Thank you for setting. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14261: Enjoyable grid. Thank you. Managed to solve it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14260: Very good challenge. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

. @ #11709: iconic??????????? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14263: Excellent again, although this time I only got 5/10 . (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14261: Mountains done me (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14254: Wouldnt have got the nurses anyway but happy to have Got the lawyers double quick (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14255: All but squash not my thing but pretty good though (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14259: Sorry for any frustration. What was wrong with Minton? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #62: A clever grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14257: Good one (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14251: Excellent - when I looked at the wall I thought I had no chance of getting more than a handful of points, then I ended up getting 10/10 anyway, once the clues started falling into place. Nothing too obscure, and some nice overlaps. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14259: Wasted 2minutes on finding London squares and want a stewards on Minton bad,pretty good though (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #8618: Parts of pretty much and grain crop (e.g. wheat) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #3757: Barberry???? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dan E @ #1152: No red herrings in the cricket grounds group, so it was quite easy. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14257: Liked it! Bond eluded me - as he is wont to do! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14256: Noted MojoPo - will remember to add PM in future. :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14247: Thanks for your input, Red Salamander. I don't think I shall use any similar ideas in the future as they can be contentious. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14257: Very good grid and I hang my head as I did not stumble upon the Bond connection despite finding the group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MoJoPo @ #14256: Good grid - umpires too tough for me. Should allow PM for the prime ministers (6 years, 6 months ago)

RedRose @ #14257: Good variety. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14256: A very good challenge. Really enjoyed it. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14255: Thanks for this enjoyable grid. Managed to crack it within the time. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14249: Red Salamander, thanks for your comments. I have not heard of Rebar and would certainly not used it if I had; just goes to show how careful research is important. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14247: A little more checking was required. To avoid falling into the other group, 'Words for which Americans have an alternative term' should only consist of words that are meaningless in the US. Unfortunately, (quick Googling...) in the US, 'Pavement' means the hard surface of a road and 'Tights' are what we in the UK call 'Leggings' (ie. thicker than 'pantyhose'). I guess you guys could have gone with 'Petrol', 'Post Code', 'Anticlockwise', 'Car Park', or even 'Boob Tube'! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14249: A decent enough grid, but the 'Re-" link is a bit week. It allows for an unintentional variant solution - swapping for 'Morse Code' and 'Rebar' (reinforcing bar) would work equally well. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14256: It should have been - just checked. My apologies anyway. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14211: I really enjoyed this one. Some great crossovers. I recognised all the groups but only managed to find one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Debs @ #14256: Old wasn't excepted (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14256: Umpires stumped me.. hahaha! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peter Davis @ #14125: Nice grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

EJG @ #14226: Confused by Sean... and it didn't accept eagles! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14224: Love it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14241: Could do with a crossover or 2.. (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14248: Good grid but try to expand on acceptable answers - didn't accept types of glasses. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14254: Oops. Thank you Matt. I really must not post these grids so late at night! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10913: The only category that makes sense is the Robbie Coltrane one! How is a 'cracker' bread? I could go on but can't be bothered! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10911: Pointlessly niche. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10953: Extra star for the Welsh!! Da iawn! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10951: Didn't allow constellations and the final group is rubbish! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #14254: It’s Mary Seacole, not Seacold (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14247: Thank you for the comments. Much appreciated. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14235: Thank you for the feedback, folks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14247: A truly excellent grid! Thank you (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14251: Peter Davis, this is a good grid. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10948: Overly precise and simplistic categories. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10947: Too precise re reasons for answers (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10945: No idea what any of these are!? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14226: Sean Connery? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14252: A good grid with crossovers which was a fair challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14251: Liked this one very much. Lots of crossovers. Fine challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14249: Loved this one with the red herrings and crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14248: A tricky one with good crossovers. Managed to crack it by guessing bombard. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RedRose @ #14252: Not hard but good mix. Wisty should take note of the variety . (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14237: Excellent (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14243: Excellent, one of the best I've done recently (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14248: One of the best I've done recently, nice one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14235: The Roosevelt line was particularly good as were the red herrings. (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14242: nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #10934: Pokemon - yawn; Scott vs the world - ?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #37: I'm with IR! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #32: So amend use of preceded! (6 years, 6 months ago)

007 @ #14222: Wonder wall (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14244: Don’t like to brag but finished it in 35 seconds right up my street (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14245: Not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14247: Only got the addresses but was happy with that (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14237: Fun grid, very enjoyable! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Redkite @ #19: Jezebel = young woman?! Utterly inappropriate, you need to do some serious thinking about your attitude to women. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #363: Really tricky - very clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #497: Clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #498: Very clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RedRose @ #14239: 3 categories just words preceding or succeeding other words (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #514: A female type of quiz - not many of them about! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #516: Tricky! Enjoyable! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #516: Tricky! Enjoyable! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #540: Liked the added letters group, but don ‘t understand the days one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #545: A clever grid, but I’d never heard these golf terms. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #14224: Thank you all, just drank too much Rioja to be sensible... Hic. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #548: Not following American football I was never going to get all of this. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14224: Toast, I have a feeling that a haven will have been found, don't you? (6 years, 6 months ago)

stevo67 @ #7274: Some brilliant crossovers (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #574: Ditto, Swagger! (6 years, 6 months ago)

stevo67 @ #14244: Very good fun, but Butler should have a double T (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #582: Think combination words could have been accepted, bit a neat grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14245: Thanks for another interesting grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #583: Easy but elegant. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14244: Useful crossovers on the presidents made this quite fun to do. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #585: Elegant! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14243: Another fun grid. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14242: Nice grid. No y on the end of Daphne but that did not detract from the fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #587: Clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14241: Fair grid. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14240: Pretty straightforward; some crossovers would have made it more of a challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #597: Some intriguing crossovers - rather elegant! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #598: Liked this! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #604: It can be a pity to include items which will date...otherwise quite neat. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #624: I could only do one group, but I thought it was a very interesting grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #627: A little eclectic! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #628: Interesting grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #635: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #636: Nice grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #637: Grammar gets you only so far -a bit of specialist knowledge needed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #639: Strictly speaking, a goose isn’t an animal - creatures would be better. Quite neat all the same. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #640: Reduplicatives doesn’ exactly roll off the tongue in the answers, but a neat grid all the same. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #642: Think synonyms for disintegration should be allowed, otherwise neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #650: The definition for the hoover group a bit lengthy - I got it, and for the right reasons, but couldn’t define it to your satisfaction! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14219: Liked the fencing clue. Think imaginary realms should have got a point. Not sure that a fiefdom is best characterised as an administrative district. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14224: Clever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14237: Some nicely misleading crossovers! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14238: Didn’t offer rhyming as a solution, as it seemed too obvious - even though that’s why I’d grouped them! Thought it must be something more esoteric! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14239: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joe @ #14226: Sean??? What's that about? (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14223: Not bad at all. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14224: Very tricky, particularly liked the peri line. Hope you have found a suitable haven from the rain. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14237: Very enjoyable with useful crossovers. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14239: Apologies- another typo I'm afraid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14169: I assume you've been agonising over some difficult home decorating decisions recently? Nice grid though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14221: Nice grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14224: Salud!oh dear! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14224: Buena salad ! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lol man @ #14164: Very confusing (6 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #14224: Wiz, Ross, Kitty thank you, or as we say here in Spain (in the rain on holiday) El thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bette @ #13083: Unsure why anyone would say the fruit anagrams are too obscure! Fairly easily worked out and perfectly well executed, IMO. Good board. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14231: A straightforward one I should think; I have been drinking and it was the best I could come up with. (6 years, 6 months ago)

.? @ #14226: Who is Sean? (6 years, 6 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14224: Great fun, as always. Thank you! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonni @ #14225: Great stuff OS... Good challenge. Villa /ramsey had me scratching my head (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14226: An interesting challenge; one of your category descriptions is rather amusing. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14224: Very enjoyable. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Tyrone @ #14226: funny and caught me out couple times lol (6 years, 6 months ago)

quizking @ #14226: wonderful! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14224: Hi. Blues, lively and imaginative as ever! (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14221: easy but very good (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14222: really good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mike @ #14221: I enjoyed it and completed it; so it can't be all that difficult (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14223: Very enjoyable, thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14222: Good grid, we found it straightforward. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14223: Ooh, shut that door. Brutal, but enjoyable Banbury Boy. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14221: Enjoyable with some crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ms Brack @ #14222: Excellent quizzing! (6 years, 6 months ago)

lily @ #14222: This was fun, my first time playing this game. luv it! ^_^ (6 years, 6 months ago)

h^2 @ #14222: Gr8 quiz, fun clues. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Banbury boy @ #14221: Very enjoyable Vlad! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14220: We don't know enough about Marvel comics, clearly! A fine challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14219: Indeed, the fencing connection caught us out too. Great grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14218: Excellent grid with tricky crossovers. We enjoyed this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14217: Good grid, a tough challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #14219: Nice grid learn something everyday with the fencing (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #13908: Excellent. I appreciated the Black Mirror red herrings, which led me astray for a while. Spotted the Lion King characters at the last second too! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lebamski @ #14191: "Children's names" feels a bit vague. "Manchester United" feels a bit too specific (I said footballers and was told it was incorrect). (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14214: I thought just the same, great grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14214: I should have seen that RossChris, good point, thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14214: Your UPS connection could also be an S connection. Good grid nonetheless. (6 years, 6 months ago)

rtrtysrtysr @ #1396: yjetyhjwsy (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14211: Easy for me having horses... :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Finacien @ #14210: The easiest of the Westwind series yet .... but still good. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14209: No need to apologise, Midge. You are entitled to your opinion and preferences. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14210: Might've got there if I knew my 2011 singles (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14209: Should accept backside for the synonym group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14209: Should accept backside for the synonym group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14212: Fawlty towers did not see got the rest good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eh @ #13825: Eh! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14208: I liked this very much...Peekay, which was your second line,just interested!a clue will do.... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14209: I prefer Chris grids! (Sorry). (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14212: I thought this was very enjoyable! Some nice touches! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14212: The Claire's got me. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14208: The second line is inspired.....hat doffed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14211: This was a very enjoyable grid with clever categories and crossovers. Great stuff. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14210: I enjoyed this one and managed to crack it. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14208: Clever, but very difficult. I scored 1/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14211: Really good - was a bit gutted to only get 5 - I thought I had I tried all of the combinations of the six possible football team nicknames, but apparently not! Well done. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Sehejpal @ #184: nicely played smithers... (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14209: enjoyable (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14209: This one is a Chris grid; not had one of these for a while. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14201: No sadder than I must be!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14201: How sad/old am I... got the 'band' connection straight away! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14200: Good one. Didn't know Bonnetti was known as The Cat... so I went for sporting rather than football thinking of Tuffers. Thank you for allowing! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14202: Very good grid. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Hugo @ #14193: If I ever see Mr B in real life, I’ll glass him (6 years, 6 months ago)

Millie @ #14193: This is totally rubbish (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fred hobby @ #14193: This sucks!!!!1!!!1!!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14199: Managed to get the groups but not every connection. A fine challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ben @ #14199: What a rib tickling quiz (6 years, 6 months ago)

Adam Zapple @ #14194: Fun and challenging; well done. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14191: The hidden names were clever, but I thought the rest was a bit too straightforward to be enjoyable. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14198: This is listed as English? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14194: Very good challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

tonys @ #5633: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14188: I too put cabinet members and put footballers for the other group. Both were given as incorrect. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14194: Tricky, abounding herrings, creative. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14194: Not bad (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14188: What is MSL/MLS?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14187: I liked this though I found it hard. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14194: For some reason its set to Fiendish......meant to be Medium, Apologies (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #11501: Think Puzzgrid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonny @ #4645: Doesn't allow 'means trustworthy' for 'synonyms of trustworthy'. Doesn't allow 'TV shows' for 'BBC TV programmes' Doesn't allow 'bands' for Musical artists who released disco songs in the 1970s. The third of those might be fair, but the first two very harsh! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #160: They ARE parts of speech!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jonny @ #14188: MLS spelled wrong, cabinet members not accepted... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Posy @ #160: They are not parts of speech they are grammatical terms (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14182: Good grid! Testing! I thought he was the landlord too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14190: An excellent challenge with misleading crossovers. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14187: An excellent grid with numerous tricky crossovers. Liked it very much. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14184: Enjoyable but as Gray said pretty straightforward. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14182: Thanks for the comments, everyone. Re Mr Heckles; I never watched Friends so I cannot comment with authority but his featured on two lists of tv landlords which is what I was relying on. Apologies if that is inaccurate. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #14188: Poor allowance for synonyms e.g 'cabinet members' not accepted for 'ministers' (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14182: Excellent! Nearly got done by Third Man (set in Vienna) until I saw 'cover' and 'slip' and the connection clicked. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #14182: Mr Heckles was not the landlord in Friends, he was just a neighbor, (who complained a lot) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14182: Clever, just very difficult. Got 3/10. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Gray @ #14184: Straight forward grid to solve, but you need to accept a wider range of answers. Theresa May's cabinet was wrong, although I think you'll find that Rudd, Johnson et al are exactly that. (6 years, 6 months ago)

lindy @ #14166: Very easy grid...guessed it all in about 40 seconds. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bette @ #13816: Enjoyable up until (as others have said) not including the two variants of Steven/Stephen. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lee @ #14168: Difficult. I completely missed the vehicles and no idea with the eagles. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lee @ #3712: Found this one pretty easy. Once I'd eliminated Travolta from the Pulp Fiction group, there wasn't anywhere to go with it other than looking for other units. The 5's and parks really stood out. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14172: They are towns, not cities. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14169: Colours and Italian regions not accepted. 😢 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14166: The foreign word group was a bit too obviously a group. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14158: Doesn't accept words containing number words as not just quantities. (6 years, 6 months ago)

GeorgieP @ #14176: 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war. 5, 6, 7, 8 try to keep your thumb straight. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb_war (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #12586: Thanks SirGridAlot, I've enjoyed many of your grids also (6 years, 6 months ago)

WandErection @ #12586: Fab little grid this....stumped me, but got 2 groups at least..thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

GeorgieP @ #14176: 1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a thumb war. 5, 6, 7, 8 try to keep your thumb straight. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb_war (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14150: Speech line didn't work for me I'm afraid....bit obscure (6 years, 6 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14140: I really enjoyed it. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14172: 1 out of ten worst I’ve ever done(not the grid) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14175: An elegant grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14176: I like the grid - but am I missing something - thumbwar?? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14179: You can thank the lady Chris for providing that or, more specifically, her CD collection; they are the ones I will not allow her to play!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14177: I thought this was a good idea but, as has been pointed out, too many crossovers and the use of such common words and letters means there is no unique solution. Of course, it will be possible to produce such a grid where there is just one solution with perhaps up to three crossovers in. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14179: Got the films but Robbie Williams come on, (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14177: Knew what to do but couldn’t quite do it but it was alright (6 years, 6 months ago)

pamelaa @ #11510: Good wall, no specialist knowledge needed (6 years, 6 months ago)

DL @ #2296: Though our expert (RK) struggled with the streets, we made all the connections. Thank you for this. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Putter Plenty @ #14177: Nice job! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14166: See below. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14177: Pretty much what Eagleeyes said - great idea but there are too many options. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14177: This type of grid is very difficult to create error free. Unfortunately this is fundamentally flawed. There are at least 15 other correct solutions. All and Andy can swap. All and Oat can swap. Ear and Rain can swap. Andy and Art can swap. Using only one swap creates a further 4 solutions. Perming any 2 from 4 creates a further 6 solutions. Perming any 3 from 4 creates a further 4 solutions. Using all 4 creates another solution making 15 additional solutions. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14169: Great grid, but penalising for not getting the D***** connection on the colour line is a tad harsh (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14108: What the actual f**k was this? Horrible (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14166: Like Andy has already said, got the groups within 20 seconds, was then met with 2 group definitions that without Google would still be here next year trying to resolve. A grid of 2 halves. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14163: Obtuse? Clearly I meant abstruse, The shame....:) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14163: I agree with RossChris....almost wilfully obtuse. Verging on if not actually, impossible. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14166: A bit too easy to get the groups sorted, to be honest, and then conversely, a couple of them were too obscure to accurately guess. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14176: Interesting challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14175: Good grid with fine categories though we did it quickly because of the lack of crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14172: Found this one to be a tough but enjoyable challenge. Thank you for setting it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14169: Very good grid. Did not get the specific colour connection. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14168: Excellent grid; good choice of varied categories and appropriate crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ken @ #14146: Champions LeaBue, (league) spelling error. Should have accepted european cup? University cities was an unacceptable answer?? The system needs to allow some leeway. (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14108: I only dimly grasped a few of these but it was an interesting few minutes. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anna Rexic @ #14169: Great stuff! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Hopp Schwiiz! @ #14153: Danke vielmal for the shout-out! :D (6 years, 6 months ago)

JonBob @ #14159: Doesn't require specialized knowledge, nice crossovers. Excellent. (6 years, 6 months ago)

fred @ #14167: wow was fun:) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bette @ #13910: Very good, appreciated the explanations too (6 years, 6 months ago)

lee2241 @ #14169: Superb on every level - particularly the NZ mountains!!!!!!!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bette @ #13981: As with everyone else, would have expected you to either accept ice cream with AND without hyphen, given that one could argue the writing of 'ice cream' in the guess box is to function as a noun, the thing that binds them all, as well as the adjective that precedes them in various phrases. Otherwise enjoyable quiz. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Kristi @ #14112: Fabulous grid, and most challenging! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Finance @ #14150: Too difficult, don't likey (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14164: Some crossovers would have helped with this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14163: I am sure there will be alternative solutions to this one, sadly. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14162: You beat us with this one and the many crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14161: A unique and interesting challenge. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14160: a good challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14159: Enjoyed this one. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14158: Only if you look at the comments before attempting the grid, and you will find this to be the case with many grids and comments. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14164: Because no crossovers? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Hank R Chief @ #14164: Could only guess, but that worked! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Beau Bells @ #14160: Good stuff! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14164: Maybe work on crossovers? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14155: Armaments not accepted instead of weapons? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Opener @ #13780: 42 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pam @ #13780: 37 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14140: Resource card link a little obscure, though I chose that group. Thought the homophones were a little shaky! Nevertheless an interesting grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14144: A clever and interesting grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Opener @ #14158: Spoiler alert. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14149: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14158: Excellent grid. Particularly appropriate use of "herring" but we sussed right away that it would be. Well set! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14154: Not too hard, but clever crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14154: Was walking it until I put cakes for the ukips (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14156: Good grid but didn't pose any problems. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14155: Interesting grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14154: Liked this one. Yes, we trust Farage was not a crossover? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14153: This was indeed fun though we cracked it very quickly. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14152: We liked this one even though we didn't have quite the right answer for one connection. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14151: Good grid, clear connections and crossovers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14150: Quite a challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14149: Cracking challenge. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14148: A good grid indeed. Found the groups but one connection eluded. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14146: Pretty straightforward to find the groups but we look forward to further offerings. (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14153: liked it, well done (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14143: Thankyou, fun and challenging! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14155: All but the routes (6 years, 6 months ago)

mattyCR @ #14154: Nice grid. Tricky to separate the 'kippers from the fascists though! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14150: Didn’t do it then when saw answers should have done it pretty good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14152: Done it just (6 years, 6 months ago)

Vlad P @ #14145: Hard but good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Johnny Boy @ #14153: fun grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sajeed Mir @ #14133: Get back to work Saj. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sajeed Mir @ #14133: What it is yeah (6 years, 6 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #14144: Fun grid. Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #14145: Tough grid; has this been issued before, or am I dreaming? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #14146: I agree with Squiggle, the links needs to be better defined. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14148: Great gridding, perfectly pitched! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fart @ #14141: Mexico is part of Latin America and NORTH America.... ;) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy P @ #14141: Fair play guys, sorry it was a bit easy :) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Rosie @ #583: Good fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

Squiggle @ #14146: Political leaders should surely be allowed! Also, Champion's League very vague- there are plenty of other links between those cities. A very easy grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14145: Quite a challenge. Only got two of the groups/connections. Well done and thanks for the tough grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Chantel @ #14124: Fun grid! Slightly easy but the president/car/card overlap was good. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dav @ #14114: enjoyed this a lot :) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Pip @ #13779: Isn't an Arcana someone who looks after Boy Scouts? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14144: An enjoyable grid. Especially liked the numbers connection. (6 years, 6 months ago)

AA @ #13778: Please give us a call (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14142: Excellent grid with tricky crossovers and red herrings to navigate. Fun to do. (6 years, 6 months ago)

anita @ #14028: it was great! (6 years, 6 months ago)

. @ #14136: think you're having all the fun here (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14141: easy but good fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14141: It's a neat grid, a bit of a breeze for me too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14141: Nice connections and crossovers. We manged to crack this in twenty seconds. That is a record for us. Thank you for setting this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14140: Identified the groups but not all the connections. Would never have got the resource card link. A tough one, certainly. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14139: Enjoyable grid. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14140: Clever but very difficult. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #14139: This grid made me hungry. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SailorJerry @ #14131: Fiendish on a couple of categories - loved the one featuring Ellen De Generes! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14132: Well done Fred! (6 years, 6 months ago)

. @ #3693: poor (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14137: So many crossovers here; identified the connections but working out the groups took some doing. Well set! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14136: Thank you all for the feedback. Much appreciated. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14125: Very clever, and actually possible to get 10 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14136: Clever but very difficult. (6 years, 6 months ago)

mike @ #11116: wrong category and poor definitions (6 years, 6 months ago)

mike @ #11482: far too easy (6 years, 6 months ago)

Paula @ #14136: Hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14136: You two are adept at producing fine varied grids! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Gaff @ #13602: Agree with julie...cmon now (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lingvo @ #1497: I know people in the UK feel otherwise, but the rest of the world doesn't consider Wales on the same level as Chile, Ghana and Laos. To us, you're just using the word 'country' as a synonym for province or state. It takes away a bit from the quality of your otherwise very nice grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14135: Another enjoyable grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14134: An enjoyable grid with crossovers. Thank you for the challenge! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mm @ #12590: Good grid. Enjoyed it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14135: Good (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14126: Sorry to be pedantic, but ICE is the international Casino Exhibition (trade show) and the others are video game 'festivals' (used to work in betting industry). Also, I got distracted by the missing 'nce' on AI Artificial Intelligence... got me looking at 'the' and 'thence' and wondering whether 'sil' was a mistyped clue for 'silence'. Bit confusing. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14124: good one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14119: Same here... dismissed the backwards group as dear doesn't make another word backwards. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14132: Managed to crack this fine grid with crossovers. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fred page @ #14132: Hi guys, I made this quiz up and really want you to enjoy it! Bet you can’t beat me!!! Thanks, Fred page Aged 9 1/2 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14132: An enjoyable grid. The group with ‘all’ in stumped me. Kicked myself when I saw the answer! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14130: Yes indeed. A fine challenge. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

AdamL @ #14124: Took me a little time as this was my first one, it was great though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14129: Couldn't sort out the actors into their respective groups. You beat us with this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14089: Neat (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14101: Neat! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14094: Should military or naval leaders not be acceptable for that group? (6 years, 6 months ago)

6 @ #13769: 81 (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen @ #14131: Smashing! Nice and tricky in places too. (6 years, 6 months ago)

BASIL @ #14130: Good grid liked the themes (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14124: REAL TEASER (6 years, 6 months ago)

g @ #14125: very nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

Joan @ #14127: Weirdly, I got the groups, but felt the explanations, or links, were weak. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14128: There are bound to be multiple solutions to this. (6 years, 6 months ago)

BASIL @ #14128: Racked my brain could not solve (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14115: Did two never heard of carnival (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14121: I’m On a roll (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14127: Good grid, identified the groups but didn't get the baseball connection. (6 years, 6 months ago)

BASIL @ #14114: Brilliant love words within a word (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14126: Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14125: Good grid, nice connections, thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

BASIL @ #14124: Great grid kept me guessing (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14124: Good grid, lots of crossovers involving Presidents. Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14113: Hard but alright (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14122: 1minute (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14124: Done it good (6 years, 6 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14118: I think the U2 song is The Fly, as well... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ed Pegg @ #14124: Nice (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14123: I am afraid there are several solutions to this as the African countries you have used are all also Commonwealth countries. Furthermore, it could be argued that any of the war leaders might be regarded as an orator or speech maker and so these could be swapped around as well. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14122: Good grid with clear connections; managed to crack it in 30 seconds. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14121: Good grid. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14120: Great grid with crossovers. Got the groups but one connection eluded us. Thank you for a fine challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14119: Check read - dear. Otherwise, a fair challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14118: A good, challenging grid with crossovers. I am sorry to be nitpicky, but I don't think you can have Birds as a film title; it really has to be The Birds. I initially dismissed that as a possibility in the connection because the title was not correct. (6 years, 6 months ago)

BrendaDeane @ #7062: Great wall. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14117: Tried to have a couple of (fairly) obvious ones per category. I admit to relying on process of elimination when solving grids myself. But usually learn something that way! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14117: Tough grid and we only manged to unravel the first name groups by chance. We identified one of the two first name connections but only got the fourth name by elimination. Then we managed to see the second first name connection. Well done. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14116: Managed to solve this quite quickly as I couldn't see any crossovers. The Motown one might raise an eyebrow or two but we identified it. Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14115: Tough one. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14102: Pedants' corner: Actually Sebastian Shaw appeared in two scenes - as the ghost of the redeemed Anakin and as the unmasked Darth Vader just before his death. Nice grid though! (6 years, 6 months ago)

M. Fatic @ #14102: Good stuff, well done. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #14108: Methinks you do jest with me; I am gridlocked! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Jess Juan Cornetto @ #14109: Fun stuff! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14114: Come on ,Mr Kneebridge, don't paint it black, it's all over now. You can't always get what you want, i find. Though this was a very good grid, as I have said. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wanda Doff @ #14112: Good grid, highly enjoyable (6 years, 6 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14113: Too tough for me, but a well constructed grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14114: Wild horses could not pull me away from this one, and I have sympathy for the devil in the puzzle. I tried hard, but could get no satisfaction from my efforts. (6 years, 6 months ago)

MA @ #14109: Decent. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14114: Yes and no. Brown Sugar is one of my all-time favourite pop/rock songs (one that could not be recorded today, of course) but some of their work doesn't appeal to me. Thanks for the comments. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14114: Ps are you fans? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14114: Nice varied one, Rosschris. Thankyou!:) (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14113: A good challenge. Got the groups but didn't identify the birth connection. Thanks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14112: Very good grid with tricky crossovers and red herrings. Thank you for the challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14101: Excellent grid, really enjoyed it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Only Me @ #14102: Great grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14108: Possibly the worst, unachievable grid so far. Sorry but they ought to be possible. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Muppets @ #13750: Try shops then (6 years, 6 months ago)

Muppets @ #13748: We got 10/10 so stop whining (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14097: Fair enough! Pretty much stared at it for 3 minutes without pressing a button (6 years, 6 months ago)

Dave Smith @ #14112: Brilliant! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14102: It just about means something to someone my age... Was a lot of fun. However even with prowse and the green cross code there to confuse, having 8 names meant it felt a little bit like two good sets of interconnections welded together (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14101: Very nice... I did consider going the Peking route in 14087 :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Trev @ #14111: shamadu (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14108: Forget french fries, that's fried my brain. Even if you crack some of the connections, impossible to complete in 3 minutes. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14109: An enjoyable grid. Thanks for this. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Trev @ #5795: Should accept buildings for the castles one (6 years, 6 months ago)

BuddyHell @ #14108: No fun at all, practically impossible to complete!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

anthony @ #14101: excellent . good grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14101: Good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14106: Hard hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

ABSURD @ #14108: Is there a competition going on at the moment to see who can set the most ludicrously difficult grid with the aim that no-one can complete it? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14102: It's fine, Grugen. It is a genuine and unambiguous connection. I might have used Brut in the context of wine as a red herring but that is just a question of style and I like yours. You beat us with that one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14108: Anyone who solves this is a better man or woman than myself and Chris and we take our hats off to them. That said, I seem to have set a very tough grid today. We got the discover/penalised answer and a couple of others but that was about it. I do agree with all of your synonyms; notably lynx and puma. These are quite separate species of wildcat. Cougar, mountain lion and even panther I can accept as a synonym for puma; but not lynx. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ecohansen @ #14108: Apologies for the 2 truncated clues. I didn't know what the character limit was. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14056: Good and nice to have an easy one amongst all the hard ones. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14095: Very fun well done (6 years, 6 months ago)

Andy @ #14081: Very clever but too difficult to be enjoyable for most people. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14107: Fair comment, maybe only avid readers of Which will get the subjects in the right categories. The devil, as always, is in the detail ;-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14107: Interesting challenge. I got SOAS right away as I am familiar with the University of London and I got the song titles. However, because you have eight academic subjects/faculties/departments making up the other two connections I suspect that there will be more than one solution to this puzzle. Those connections are a bit too close together for comfort. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14106: Very very hard indeed. three mins of my life I wont be getting back (6 years, 6 months ago)

casey @ #11973: I managed to get all 4 links and words before the time run out which is pretty good for me but some of the answers are finicky. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bart Attack @ #8387: Decent (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14106: One for those with an interest in politics! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14101: Salisbury-St Petersburg.....very topical, like what ya did there :) Great grid (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14101: Excellent! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14093: Very enjoyable. The Smith connection caught me out too! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #14101: Great grid, thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #1839: Useful teaching tool for psychology students but not suitable for here really (6 years, 6 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #14101: Wonderful stuff, great gridding. (6 years, 6 months ago)

t @ #14102: Fun & Tricky (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14102: I needed a red herring for the aftershaves, Kevin and Henry came to mind but I had to dig deep for the other three. Not sure it'll mean anything to anyone born after 1970 though! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14102: This was a lot of fun. I solved the wall but had forgotten about the advertisement connection. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14101: Very enjoyable. Effective crossovers, especially the former names. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14096: Looks like a duplication (6 years, 6 months ago)

Claire @ #14101: Fun! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Midge @ #14096: Yup, could have used Timmy Tiptoes instead! Good grid though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

T Road @ #14099: Excellent grid- only solved one line but can appreciate it for the clever grid it is (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fridge @ #14096: Some alright red herrings but as Ragman says, Basil Brush is most definitely a fox and a quick Google yields no other squirrels called Basil (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14099: Well, that was different and I solved the wall but didn't get the same letter connection. Thank you for an interesting challenge. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14099: Formidable! I tried! But I got all tangled up, good grid, though.... (6 years, 6 months ago)

whizzer0 @ #12801: I've heard of 3 Musketeers and I'm in the UK... but then I've only heard of it from 90s US comic books. (6 years, 6 months ago)

ClaraBell @ #14099: A bit too out there. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14083: Clever varied grid.thankyou. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14097: Good but no way did anyone get Arbroath smokies (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14099: Got the gnat etc but not the rest (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14099: This got me good, I'm going for a lie down now. Your explanations help somewhat but the damage to my psyche had already been done by then! Excellent gridding. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #14099: During the creation of this grid I considered wor(m) for the insects but decided against it, I also decided against tse for the doubled syllables since the phrase is usually tsetse fly not tsetse, although I know it would be very nice to clue in the insects. I apologize if I used the wrong spelling of Gaia/Gaea because it seems like either is fine. I considered putting many gods in that category like (d)eva, (z)eus, (p)tah, and (a)res. An initial category was synonyms of each other using din and row but I couldn't find other good 3 letter words. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14095: I can forgive the Basil fox/squirrel issue, this was a really good grid in spite of it. And it made for a great red herring. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Aardvark @ #14097: Excellent quiz. Lots of crossover categories and head scratching. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ragman @ #14096: Who is Basil the squirrell? If the reference is Basil Brush, he is a fox..... (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14095: Oooh... Cyril the Squirrel. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14097: Very clever. Excellent wordplay. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14095: I enjoyed this grid but it didn't pose any problems. Like others before me, I haven't heard of a squirrel called Basil. Cyril would be a better name. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14095: Best not to be over- familiar with Basil the fox. It must have been the tails that caused confusion? (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14095: I'm not familiar with a squirrel called Basil - were you thinking of Basil Brush? I'm 99.9% sure he was (is?) a fox. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SeJuis @ #14091: Thanks (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14094: Good grid with relevant crossovers. Enjoyed this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14093: Who knew? Makes the thought of driving a particular Italian super-car less glamorous ;-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ban Ki Moon @ #7882: In all my time at the UN I've never been so disappointed with anything. Shame on you! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14092: Thanks RossChris, that's praise indeed! :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14093: Yes, I agree, the Smith connection was very clever. Top gridding (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ban Ki Moon @ #7893: ... hand (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14093: I found the groups very quickly but I am with Wiz in that I did not know the Smith connection. I have learned something useful here. Thank you for that and the grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14092: Struggled with this one but just about got there in the end. Good grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14091: An enjoyable grid which I managed to solve by honing in on skedaddle right away as that could not go with anything else and had to be wordplay connection. Thanks for the good stuff. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14090: Quite a tough challenge and some of the categories are ones of which I have little knowledge. I got bogged down in the red herring of "Russell" as a surname. A fine grid! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14089: Yet another cracker from you. I managed to solve it within the time despite some neat crossovers and red herrings in there. Great stuff once more. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14093: The Smith connection was a surprise! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14087: A cracker, Mr Tom. A mall stood out for me as that had to be a wordplay connection and that was what got me started. Superb red herrings and false trails but I managed to crack it. James Bond films would probably be my specialist subject on Mastermind and that knowledge helped me avoid the pitfalls. Marvellous puzzle, Sir! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14083: Thanks for all the comments, folks. Every one much appreciated. Dusty Hill isn't the former bass player in ZZ Top; he still is! They have been going since 1970 without any personnel changes, though admittedly there is only three in the band; and they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hare was the one I was concerned about as I thought he may be less well known that Hill; shows what I know!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14083: Dusty eluded me. Darn it! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14087: Good one! Esio Trot was the one that got me... I got the roald dahl connection but couldn't get the group in time. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14066: Well thought out and original (6 years, 6 months ago)

Val Crow @ #14069: Entertaining. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Hank R Chief @ #14071: Very clever, with a good balance of difficulty and fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

M. Fatic @ #14072: Tricky, but good fun. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #14077: Nice gridding! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Nathan @ #13946: Cotton and wool are not synonyms. (6 years, 6 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #14083: Oof, tough but fair (6 years, 6 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14081: Good grid. Nice balance and well constructed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anna Rexic @ #14083: Good grid. Having Dusty Springfield and preacher men in the same grid is appropriate. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14087: Great stuff, had me spinning in circles full of false hopes and trails. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14087: This one got me a treat, I was chasing Ian Fleming all over the place and missed Roald Dahl completely (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14083: I panicked doing this, as I could immediately spot two groups which turned out to be there. However, having got the groups out and pressed for the explanations, it turns out that one of the connections involved the former bass player from ZZ top. It is you, after all... (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14074: Got 2out of ten (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14074: Got 2out of ten (6 years, 6 months ago)

NotSoNice person @ #13733: Are you 10 (6 years, 6 months ago)

NotSoNice person @ #13728: OK (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14079: Thanks again, Peekay. I am always grateful for constructive feedback. I think it is important to try to set puzzles at various levels so that those who are newer to these challenges can enjoy success. Trouble is, what I think might be tough may turn out not to be and what I think to be less difficult can cause problems! What is positive is that we all learn new knowledge from the puzzles on this site, and of course that is never going to cease. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14061: Thanks for the comments, both of you. It probably wasn't my finest connection , the homophones one, and I messed about with this too much. Cops is a Buster Keaton film and that was originally in the Buster category but I chose to make it a crossover. Maybe would have done better to use an alternative. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14079: Oh i think the onus is on me to improve....don't dumb down on my account, its a learning curve, but i'd rather struggle and get one line on a toughie than sit and bang 10 mediums out with little thought. Just noting the difficulty level on this one was a little off (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14079: Thanks for your kind words, Peekay, and I shall endeavour to set some less specialised or niche puzzles. I usually set the difficulty level at medium just so that it is in the middle as I have no idea how challenging solvers will find it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14079: Big fan of your grids, but this should be set at fiendish, 2 groups are a bit niche for general consumption, not knocking the quality, which was as ever superb....just give us mere mortals a chance eh! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Tposer @ #14074: Agree Upper Slaughter is a bit obscure! Otherwise, liked the variety of connections. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14061: They are OK homophones for me! I can't see a problem with them! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14081: Good grid and one that brings back memories of days of yore. (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14077: thought I'd try to set a slightly easier one this time. thanks for the feedback :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14081: Very good (6 years, 6 months ago)

Aardvark @ #14061: Tough but good. I didn't get any of these! Shore rhyming with Shaw? Not sure what accent that that works with. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14070: Not bad that, enjoyed it. The pilot one was a bit clumsy but I've been guilty of that myself so all power to ya! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14078: A very good and challenging puzzle. Excellent crossovers and red herrings. Solved the wall but did not get the Toronto connection; no knowledge of the city. We thought Ajax must be a very new town in Yorkshire of which we had not heard!! Great work. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14077: Another fine grid, though we found this one to be less challenging in that we solved it more quickly. Good stuff. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14076: We concur with the other assessments. A very fine challenge, good connections and misleading crossovers. We cracked it too with time left over. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Fangio @ #14076: Excellent grid. A rare 10/10 score, with 40 seconds to spare! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14076: Great categories - missed the money solution. D'oh! Whitebait confused me a bit, because they're not a species, but any young, small fried fish. Good grid tho! (6 years, 6 months ago)

KJ67 @ #14076: Very good grid, got it with 10s to spare, so perfect! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14075: Yes; fair point Eagleeyes. Thank you for that observation. (6 years, 6 months ago)

breettttttorrr @ #7862: Top notch my bum (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14075: Would have been better to use all single name bands - does not really work shoehorning in the second name only of acts known by their full name. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #14074: A bit contrived using Slaughter to get an extra crossover. Realistically how many people will know of a village with a population of 177! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14074: Thanks RossChris :-) I can see this becoming addictive! (6 years, 6 months ago)

kittymcg @ #14066: Great fun! Thank you (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14074: Another cracker of a puzzle; a tough one with many clever crossovers to confuse solvers. Managed to crack it within the time. Thank you for setting such a challenge and please keep these coming. (6 years, 6 months ago)

HARV @ #14074: Tough one... lots of crossovers stumped me (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14066: Liked it... stunned I figured out elements. Well chuffed. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14066: Good fun grid, enjoyed this (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14072: Nice one! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14071: Agree, enjoyed this, neat and varied. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14071: Had a bit of fun with this. Nice grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14055: Haven't watched it, but good first go :-) (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14070: This didn't really work for me due to the lack of crossovers ( unless Bluey pilot is also a band or something). Just felt like 4 bunches of facts of varying obscurity. Also it didnt help having exactly 4 clues which were apparently full names... and were. (Pleased with myself to know who Frank Welker was tho!) (6 years, 6 months ago)

MarkLang @ #14048: It's in the flag... Btw, cant change the title when you upload it. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14053: Would not accept knots (6 years, 6 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14052: Agree with stevo67. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14070: Got me with this one. Well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #14067: It would be nice to see more capital letters where proper nouns are involved, ie. names. (6 years, 6 months ago)

I @ #13158: Fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

I @ #13158: Fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

dolminiel @ #14070: eclectic (6 years, 6 months ago)

Connector @ #98: Why is not phonetic for Y where I come from. Spoils an otherwise good wall. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14069: Good grid. Getting the connections in the right order helps avoid the crossover traps. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14067: A challenging puzzle. I look forward to more of the same. Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14066: That was a fun varied grid to do! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14066: Excellent challenge, Mr Tom. I especially admire the elements connection. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Matt @ #14067: 8out of ten (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14052: Agree with RossChris. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14054: Yes, indeed, I see now. I must have got lucky as I hit the connections without error. Sorry, E.L. Wisty; I did you an injustice. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14062: Ah. Good spot, Mr Tom. Inserting the first name would not have helped. That was unfortunate but is an easily made mistake. I have done it at least once. (6 years, 6 months ago)

casey @ #14042: I managed all 4 links and got the links correct to but the third was a guess though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14064: Solved the wall but not every connection. Keep them coming, please! (6 years, 6 months ago)

casey @ #14046: I got all the links but they wanted me to call them more specific company than I did. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Isco @ #14051: Is nice and not this hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

SeJuis @ #14051: Yep... disk driver (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14054: I was thinking the same , Mister Tom. Nice one .E.L. (6 years, 6 months ago)

casey @ #14056: got all 4 links but wasn't able to put them together properly. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14054: There were definitely some with the Tom group! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14062: Nice ideas but unfortunately King and George can be swapped so it fails the requirement for a unique solution. 1* (6 years, 6 months ago)

Intellex @ #14051: Disk driver? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Finn Air @ #13929: Nice! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Finn Air @ #14042: Thanks! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Aardvark @ #14056: Nice but definitely an easy one. Did it in 20 secs but maybe just got lucky. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14063: Too difficult or specialised for us. No doubt Leonard and Sheldon would have cracked it. Quite a challenge; well set. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14062: Good grid with nice crossovers, especially regarding snooker. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Coneheads @ #14055: Excellent! Some real crimson carp in this one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Yup @ #14051: Niceee (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14057: A more than reasonable grid with a crossover and it beat me, for though I solved the wall I did not identify the football connection. Good one. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14056: I concur with Big Phil. Good grid with some crossovers though the categories are not obscure which is why it isn't too challenging. (6 years, 6 months ago)

stevo67 @ #14052: Didn't accept "Natalie" (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14056: Nice grid, a few doubles, nothing too difficult. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14055: You can NEVER have too many rouge kippers! (6 years, 6 months ago)

FirstGo @ #14055: Thank you! Think it turned out harder than I had planned! Maybe a red fish too many! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14055: This is an absolute cracker of a grid with numerous tricky crossovers and red herrings; even entire categories are misleading. Superbly done! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14054: Good grid, though no crossovers make it easier than it could be. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14053: Good grid. Nice crossover with Rhodes. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14052: Homophones of cities was a clever connection. With word connections I prefer it if all the entries follow or precede, not a combination of both, but maybe that is just a personal thing. Good grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14054: Sorry, another slip of hand on keyboard! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Peekay @ #14053: Should be "Followed by" not preceded, and it's Knot. Good grid otherwise (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14051: Very good grid with misleading crossovers. Great stuff. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Bink @ #14048: would have been helpful to identify that the puzzle is in dutch in title or on 'flag' (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ban Ki Moon @ #7818: This was the worst board ever. You should be ashamed of yourself! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Coneheads @ #14051: Very impressive food category (6 years, 6 months ago)

MarkLang @ #14048: It s in Dutch (6 years, 6 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #14045: Really enjoyed this one, made me think! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14046: Broad and clear connections which will be straightforward for most solvers. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14045: Very nice. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14042: Nice easy start to the day! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14045: A well put together grid with clear connections. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #2297: An oldie but a goodie (6 years, 6 months ago)

..?!?! @ #14043: Rosschris, you are somewhat everpresent. (6 years, 6 months ago)

T Road @ #14041: very hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

T Road @ #14042: Quite easy but nicely put together (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14043: jelp? Either those keys are too close or my fingers are too big; or maybe more tonic water is needed? (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14043: Clear but this is not going to challenge anyone as the general nature of the categories makes the connections obvious. Topical with the recent passing of Ken Dodd and there can be no debate as to the solution, which is positive. You might want to try using surnames only as these could provide some crossover possibilities, intentionally or unintentionally. It also might jelp make the solution a little less obvious. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14042: Clear and precise grid with general and straightforward connections. Some crossovers/red herrings would make it more challenging. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14026: Very nice, especially the Ounce group (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14038: Typing "Medium" anywhere near this was definitely putting it in the wrong place! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14043: No crossovers, no red herrings, no mystery and nothing original. Other than that, not bad. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14038: Cars is all I got (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14035: Got nowhere near it (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14038: Please note. This grid is by RossChris. I stupidly typed "Medium" in the wrong place!!! (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14037: Got most of this one done but not the Silent Running connection. Was beaten there. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14033: Got to agree that the solutions are just a bit on the narrow side. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14037: Struggled (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14022: Got the death till bit then struggled very hard (6 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #14023: Excellent. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Ferris @ #14018: Basketball good line (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14021: Ok (6 years, 6 months ago)

Steve h @ #14023: Done it so l liked it (6 years, 6 months ago)

dabba722 @ #2096: fun (6 years, 6 months ago)

HotHamish @ #14033: This should be a closed puzzle for a business course. The groupings are too vague and the accepted terms too narrow (6 years, 6 months ago)

Coneheads @ #14025: Thank you for introducing me to some new amazing ducks. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14035: A couple of tricky connections there; at least they were for me! Good grid. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14034: Enjoyable. Thank you. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14030: Thanks for your feedback, lol. All opinions welcome! (6 years, 6 months ago)

wendy b @ #14026: (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lol @ #14030: This is dum (6 years, 6 months ago)

Lol @ #14033: this is dum (6 years, 6 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #14028: Yes, more variety- a comedian, some dancers a magician and a trick cyclist! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anon @ #8769: Agree with salty pepper. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14030: Apologies, I am way behind the times! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Phil @ #164: US presidents surely should be enough. It’s obvious that they’re initials! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14023: Possibly the best grid ive seen. Loads of red herrings but all noticeable groups. Thoroughly enjoyed it (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14030: No, no, Wiz, there are only four in the Rolling Stones as has been the case for some time. Jagger, Richards, Wood and Watts. They use a session musician as bass player these days. (6 years, 6 months ago)

bag @ #14033: Got all the groups but the solutions are WAY too narrow. For example: marketing mix is an industry term - surely "things that influence purchase" is also correct. Spoils a good grid when the answers have no leeway (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #379: Female cat,, Anon, when not pregnant or nursing. Then she is a queen. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14030: Ps you will soon be left without a leg to stand on, (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14030: Rolling Stones would be 10 legs? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #379: K... They are red herrings! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14014: Joan - there isn't a duplicate rule but it was unintentional in this case, I should check my work more carefully! Thanks for the feedback though. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Grugen @ #14015: Thanks for the feedback guys. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14030: And Goliath, an eight leg bet, would have been in there with tarantula (or another spider species) as the crossover. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14030: I was originally going to use eight legs and the connecting group would consist of a tarantula, a pair of regency dining chairs, a snooker table and the Rolling Stones. I changed it to four so that Guinea Pig could appear as a crossover not just in the old coin connection but also the four legs, even though that would probably not fool anyone. (6 years, 6 months ago)

RossChris @ #14030: Fair point, Big Phil, though that would be more the case if I had stipulated relay runners or squad as it would then focus on the participants!!! And if one of the relay runners was Oscar Pistorius........ (6 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #14028: But one of the preceding groups differs from the other! (6 years, 6 months ago)

Anon @ #379: Molly? (6 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14030: relay has to be the most ambiguous answer. Relay in your example might have four legs of the event but the participants have 2 each making 8.... opposed to your example of people with the righteous brothers with 4. (6 years, 6 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14028: 2 types only. Three all are preceded or followed by. It is ok but needs more variety. (6 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #46: Should have accepted Suet Pudding ingredients. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14029: Didn't get the police connection. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14030: I hope I can get away with this one. I should drink Gordon's and not Bombay Sapphire. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14029: Gosh ..that 'late' line! Formidable. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Finlay (Creator) @ #14029: From the Grid Creator: Salt 2 is a proposed sequel to salt, and also an agreement made between Jimmy Carter and Brezhnev in Vienna (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14007: I should get out more methinks. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14007: Wikipedia has another meaning which is very interesting , relating to beach debris. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14007: Google tells me lake balls are golf balls. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14028: There are 3 types of row here, I think that's a bit unfair! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #14028: Too many of the words preceding or following variety. The green group was more interesting. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14028: Indeed it was. Great work. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14028: Lovely satisfying grid! (6 years, 7 months ago)

CAZBAH HUMBUG @ #13439: GOT ALL GROUPS RIGHT, SAID THE 1ST WAS FEMALE DRUMMERS and it said it was wrong and the answer was female drummers!!!! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Steve h @ #14024: No chance without looking up the dates (6 years, 7 months ago)

Steve h @ #14024: Impossible without looking up the dates (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14027: Those keys are too close together!! Good fun grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14027: Apologies for changing the name of a sovereign state! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14025: Thanks, Mr Tom. I aim to deceive, but not to cheat! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14025: Just about on the right side of unspeakably nasty (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14024: This really was quite a challenge. Very tough and an interesting take on these grids. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14026: This was a fun grid. Nice connections. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Bourbon @ #13981: Found it fun. Medium difficulty and not too obscure. Ice cream can be spelt either way. As a noun it doesn’t have a hyphen and as a adjective it does. In this example it would have a hyphen. Not bad for first go! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14023: Very good (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #14021: Not sure about the gun parts (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13994: Sorry ignore that! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13994: Deja vu and the comments too #13991 (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13993: Agree about the non- acceptance of .....string (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #14007: What’s a lake all btw? (6 years, 7 months ago)

kittymcg @ #8815: Just my cup of tea. Thank you :-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #14024: Once the groups are unfolded(!) it’s relatively straightforward - but as I struggled to get the groups, impossible! (6 years, 7 months ago)

paulayres @ #14024: fiendish indeed, and good fun (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #14023: Neat! (6 years, 7 months ago)

paulayres @ #14023: loved the compass points! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wizpz @ #14024: A fiendish concept! I couldn't unravel it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14023: Very nice wordplay with two of the connections. Excellent stuff! (6 years, 7 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #14007: Fully agree with Wiz, thanks for this great site. (6 years, 7 months ago)

lindy @ #13993: I'd have scored 10/10 if it had accepted "string". Nice grid though (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba722 @ #5527: clever (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba722 @ #5536: I liked the grid but it was listed as a US grid and we don't know about cricket.... (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba722 @ #6171: good grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14016: I didn't know them but then I am not renowned for shopping or travelling! (6 years, 7 months ago)

MA @ #14018: Very good. ‘George’ Riley threw me. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14015: Enjoyable grid. Minor point; the hair connection should "be can be preceded by" or "can follow" rather than "can be followed by". This won't impact on people's enjoyment of the puzzle, though. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14021: Good wall; not too challenging. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #14021: Great way to start the weekend. Thanks. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RickRoll @ #14012: Excellent, except for the Power Full one. Dropped a star there. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13991: ????? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13988: Pretty good got there eventually Pretty good - got there eventually. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13987: Completely foxed me other than the energy drinks (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #14021: Pleasant. Relatively easy. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #14014: Can all be preceded by hair. I liked this. Is there a no duplicate rule. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Shagaluf @ #14021: Such an amazing wall. Genius. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14016: Gum is very famous; Isetan perhaps less so though it has branches all over japan and south-east Asia. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Smudge @ #13689: Thankyou, thankyou from the very bottom of my shoes. At last a wall that we can do. Hoorah (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jody @ #14012: well said big pill (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jody @ #14016: hmmmm Russian and Japanese department stores??? (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14017: Ah, I do recall when that came up and I wasn't aware of the nickname prior to that; so, yes, you can say I have been watching Pointless! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Dh @ #14016: Bad. I myst be behind the times (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14017: It was Mutti! I have nearly achieved that delightful stage of life where I can't remember whether I have seen things before. But I do enjoy your grids. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14017: Not recently because the current crop are repeat showings. The tivo box series link only picks up new editions. I assume from what you have written that something I have used has been featured on the show? I started this grid a few days ago and didn't get around to finishing it until today. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14017: Now,be honest, have you been watching Pointless? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14013: A challenging grid, I couldn't get anywhere with it, but cool ideas. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14016: You two have a wide spread of knowledge. Enjoyed this, didn't manage to complete it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Deano @ #14015: Nice grid. Thank you (6 years, 7 months ago)

Steve h @ #14015: Last line got me but pretty good (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen - ignore, contains duplicate error @ #14014: (6 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #14010: Nice variety, enjoyed it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #14013: Thanks for the feedback, Big Phil. I will be interested to see how others get on. I thought "a drop" would hopefully the one to give solvers the clue as it looks as if it has to be an anagram and there is not much else you can get out of it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14013: Anagrams of Museums, far too difficult for anyone to get those. the other 3 groups are tricky enough (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #14012: Not keen on Power and Full making powerful as put together its a different spelling. Rest of the grid is good though! (6 years, 7 months ago)

anthony @ #13993: nice one ,a good fun grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

anthony @ #13994: a good fun quiz , well done (6 years, 7 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #14003: "They are all homophones"? Just that? Not even homophones of related words? That's a bit weak... I'm sure you could do better than that... How about Moore, Glenn, Veil and Step? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Curious Cat @ #14010: Is the 'Shift' key on your keyboard not working? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Debs @ #13914: Didn't except jean designers ?? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #14009: Thanks Aldi. A little too racey for me. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14007: Thank you too for maintaining this most excellent of sites! (6 years, 7 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #14007: You're not wrong! For the curious: (y-axis = page-views per month) Thanks to all for keeping it alive after the 2012-13 slump! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14007: Nice variety! Enjoyed ! Didn't get all of groups! Am I alone in thinking puzzgrid gets busier and busier? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #13994: Nice but easy (6 years, 7 months ago)

HARV @ #14009: Not sure about this one - certainly the solutions. Am I being really thick but what does "make up AD" mean? Trade Agreements should be accepted. GDP per capital = gross domestic product per CAPITA = development? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #14000: Yemen in Middle East (Asia) not that it mattered as I didn't spot the anagrams anyway. Otherwise good. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14008: Easy to guess groups, but identification tricky. Aldi, are you an economics student by any chance? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Aardvark @ #14004: Liked it! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #14006: Easy but fun. I echo Bink's comments. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Bink @ #14006: Very, very easy - try some crossovers and expand acceptable answers. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13997: This is a satisfying grid with interesting ideas. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Coneheads @ #13997: Also very fond of the country connection (6 years, 7 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13954: Bizarre! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Deano @ #14005: Funny & Fun (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13981: I like my ice cream unhyphenated, this grid doesn't! Pupils contract and dilate not constrict but I get the point. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13980: Synonyms of strange should be acceptable and I thought quark was a type of yogurty cheese found in German supermarkets! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Lauren @ #2621: Misspelt should be acceptable for the words. Otherwise decent :-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13974: Great choice of places. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Lauren @ #4155: I like this one, challenging but fun. (6 years, 7 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13997: Me, too! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13997: Great grid. Loved the originality of the "country" film connection. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13994: Good connections. We enjoyed it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

creator of this wall @ #14000: thanks for the constructive criticism Chris x I don't know what i was thinking with that one, very unlike me to make a mistake like that (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #14002: Good fun,extremely well red herringed! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #14000: Very nice. Fortunately I started with the Enemy group... (6 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #13996: Jack Septicy, so famous that even Google doesn't know who he is! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #14000: Yemen is not in Africa (6 years, 7 months ago)

creator of this wall @ #14000: amazin (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13993: Nice one. Jerkin did for me! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Lauren @ #5890: I really liked this one! Especially the Beatles. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13994: Nice pairing of Clinton and Monica- v topical :-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: Diolch yn fawr Mister Tom. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Steve h @ #12697: Ok (6 years, 7 months ago)

a critic @ #13951: lice it (6 years, 7 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #13996: Rated as a 5 difficulty because it was so bad. Sorry. (6 years, 7 months ago)

a critic @ #13996: not good enough (6 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #13993: Nice puzzle and not too obscenely difficult. Was a bit gutted it didn't accept "string" for that particular section. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Steve h @ #13957: Not bad (6 years, 7 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13988: Easy breezy! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13988: Ok, enjoyable,not too testing . (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ban Ki Moon @ #7762: Your best to date. When I was ten I could barely understand quadratic equations. Well done. (6 years, 7 months ago)

HARV @ #13988: good grid - but a little leniency on answers would help. It didn't accept anniversaries. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13988: Agreed, best one I've done for a while. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #13955: Nice, but a little too easy tbh (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13985: Top grid, a real tickler. I liked the nod to the Belle Vue Aces as well (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13981: Ice cream is not hyphenated, I would have expected most who construct grids to know that - touche! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Puzz Grid Official @ #13988: Wow, what a grid. Do you write for Only Connect? If not, you should do. (6 years, 7 months ago)

crog pits @ #13958: Buzzing for the next one ;))))) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Shaq @ #13958: legendary puzz grid, i think this is one of the best puzz grids i've ever completed. you have saved my life. hero. (6 years, 7 months ago)

HARV @ #13984: punches or blows... not accepted. never heard of a rabbit punch - strange images in my head now! (6 years, 7 months ago)

HARV @ #13980: I dunno - I take issue with quaint meaning odd. More attractive, charming. plus it would accept synonyms so I'm sulking! (6 years, 7 months ago)

HARV @ #13979: Nervous system... poor clue I'm afraid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

HARV @ #13978: Guessed 3 of the connections, but didn't have a hope of getting the groups. (6 years, 7 months ago)

james @ #11967: it was good and challenging and helpful (6 years, 7 months ago)

Andy P @ #13978: Fair play, maybe too many overlaps. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #2296: A classic. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13985: Cant \believe\ i forgot belle vue were a Manchester speedway team nicknamed the aces.... (6 years, 7 months ago)

Nb @ #13978: Solution isn't unique. Too many swaps. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Bigspecks @ #13981: Sorry, not intentional - first grid but.........I would have expected most to know how to spell ice-cream. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Aussie @ #13977: So many grid are impossible for me because it's things like "stops on the London underground", "English Football coaches", "British comedian/sitcoms" It's a bit rich to complain about too much of an American Influence. Especially when, unlike the UK, US made culture manages to spread to most English speaking countries. (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13978: Once you get over how terribly put together the grid is there is some fun to be had in seeing just how many different correct combinations you can get. (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13982: Yeah, so when it asks "Is this grid of interest to a general audience?" you can just go ahead and click not really. (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #9203: Brilliant :) (6 years, 7 months ago)

hero @ #13961: No red herrings for the lakes (6 years, 7 months ago)

hero @ #13961: No red herrings for the lakes (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13983: Forget the Explanations? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13963: Lots of potential but needs tidied up a bit, especially the ‘putsch’ answer. I got the hyperinflation one, but again it’s a bit elliptical. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13965: Too good for us! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Spruce @ #13978: a good wall, but needs more variety in the groups as most are all 'can be suffixed by' (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #8000: Lovely idea: the other groups were straightforward (6 years, 7 months ago)

Dh @ #13965: Sorry but this is too technical (6 years, 7 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #13968: Ay up! What's going on here? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #13977: Great. But how long do we have to tolerate this slavish genuflection to American "culture" ( eg. Marvel comix/ X Men / last names for sports teams/ state capitals/ Oscar winners / Simpsons / Presidents et al?) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Yorkshire pudding. @ #13974: Born in South Yorkshire, live in North Yorkshire so not too difficult. Enjoyed it though. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13974: I got confused.. Selby seems to be in the wrong place to me, but I know Brantyman is right. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RYAN @ #13951: errrm... Joan... are you confusing animals with mammals? Birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, amphibians, fish are all animals. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #13961: Not keen on the pie/cake group as its pretty much two different topics in one.. enjoyed the others (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #13957: the anagrams of numbers was a bit easy but the other three groups had good red herrings and options for various groups. enjoyed it (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13960: Thanks for the comments. I cannot believe I made that typo re Schama! Can't blame it on the g&t this time. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jn @ #13961: Didn't know about the Texen, every day is a school day I guess. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13949: I was close but maybe it's an age thing, I thought it over and the answer never crossed my mind. Very good. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13951: Whiskies not accepted but contains both whisky and whiskey (6 years, 7 months ago)

Lucius Fox @ #13958: Such a good, challenging grid. Not only did I have to intensely think about the groupings but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Excellent Gridmaking. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13949: Neat, but I prefer a greater variety of types of clue. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13951: In terms of answers, goslings and ducklings are birds, not animals. Baby/ young creatures should be acceptable. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13960: Clever. But it’s Simon Schama. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13959: A clever grid - difficult! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13958: Nicely varied, but you can solve the grid without understanding it, because of the parts of speech. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13957: Nicely varied and plenty of red herrings! (6 years, 7 months ago)

4by4 @ #13936: Credit to you MrBowstead for using innovative teaching methods. Enjoyment is a key part of learning. If you have mixed ability students it would be possible to set different levels of difficulty using the grid "tricks". For example a base level might have a solution where each item can only belong to one group. The next level would add crossovers where an item(s) could fit in more than one group but crucially there is only a single possible solution. The next level could add red herrings for example items that appear to be in a group but it is actually a "false" group. Maybe it would be unfair to be devious - you will be a far better judge of that than me. Trying to pre-empt all possible correct answers can be tricky but I guess this would not be a problem if the grid is not computerised and "programmed" to match key character strings as used on this site. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Steve h @ #13951: Not bad (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13954: Enjoyed it. Different, and very easy once you get the idea (6 years, 7 months ago)

MrBowstead @ #13936: It's my first ever attempt - Big fan of Only Connect. I'm a science teacher and plan to make a few of these to use as lesson resources. Thanks for the feedback! (6 years, 7 months ago)

toeswest @ #13941: Agree with others (6 years, 7 months ago)

toeswest @ #13930: so so (6 years, 7 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #13946: I'm with pedantry - A synonym is "a word or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word or phrase in the same language." I don't believe that 'cotton' is enough like 'woollen' to use in this case. Would have done better to have used 'knitted' instead. Apart from that gaff, it was a nice grid. :-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

bag @ #13941: agree with rosschris (6 years, 7 months ago)

pendantry @ #13942: wouldn't accept marsupials (joey is a baby kangaroo, btw). Antarctica misspelled. (6 years, 7 months ago)

pendantry @ #13946: still think cotton / woollen an issue - the 3 other clues work really well. I got the connection thanks to whiskers on kittens but nearly discounted it because thought... no, it's COTTON gloves. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13946: Solved the wall but did not identify the Sound of Music connection. A fair challenge. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13946: I take your word for it,Fridge, but a surprise to me. Liked your grid! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mary @ #13946: Fridge is right. Very good clue!!! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Fridge @ #13946: Synonyms are not necessarily identical. By definition, words that mean the same, or nearly the same thing. Which is why if you visit a good thesaurus, such as Thesaurus.com, woollen will return cotton as similar, and mittens return gloves. (6 years, 7 months ago)

zac tudor @ #13946: cotton is not wool and gloves are not mittens and that clue was therefore not a synonym! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13946: and there was me looking for things that vibrate... (6 years, 7 months ago)

HJ @ #13946: I solved the grid but didn't get the Sound of Music clue as cotton gloves is never synonymous with warm woollen mittens! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #13946: Very tricky, but an excellent grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #13946: Loved it! (6 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #44: Nice easy ego booster! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13938: Agree about the Michael group not accepting Michael...... but "English names" really?? Also it is usually China tea not Chinese. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13936: Would not accept astronomical features for the space group. 😠 (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13935: Very neat! I found it hard! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13940: Two rather technical lines, and two rather vague or subjective jazzy and Celtic. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13944: Didn’t know about Keane Reeves, but a neat and interesting grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13896: ...and the Geronimo Stilton series is? Certainly some clever red herrings. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13904: Enjoyed this classical grid. Couldn’t do all of it, but could work out some, on the basis of sketchy knowledge. A refreshing change from the ever-popular Beckham children! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Pip @ #13607: Too good for us (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #13921: Ditto re the Kardashians! And the US states clue isn’t a very interesting one - sorry! (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #13942: Antarctica missing a C; rth? (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13942: Very easy, but I like the idea of combining the wall with the missing vowels round! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13943: Tricky! Had me in a spin! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Claire @ #1424: Really nice grid. I didn't solve it and then groaned at the obvious groups I missed! But that just added to the fun. (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13940: Enjoyable. I think multiple correct solutions, though; guitar and piano are often in jazz bands/combos, while double bass is concert pitch, so those could easily be reversed. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #13943: Some double agents here! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Claire @ #13941: Nice grid. No real Red Herrings though which would have made it more fun. (And a little typo in the spelling of Hermione) (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13942: Wallaby is misspelt. Straightforward connections and I enjoyed it, though it won't pose too many problems for the experienced wall-solver. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13941: Not a bad grid but straightforward and I would suggest a few red herrings or crossovers to make it more of a challenge. You don't need to preface your rivers with "The" as four answers starting with "The" stand out as an obvious connection. You mix singular and plural in your mythical creatures which is unnecessary. Hermione is misspelt. But the connection themes were fine and I enjoyed the puzzle. (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13933: Some really good red herrings (___seed) (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13936: Multiple correct solutions. :-( "Mars" can be subbed out for Milky Way or Galaxy without messing up other rows. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Fridge @ #13938: Very easy grid but still fun. Try more red herrings and overlaps. Also, the Michaels group would not accept 'Michael'. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13922: No Joan, but fur and fir are. Cosplay is dressing up as video game, film and tv characters for conventions etc. Good work Prospero. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #4648: Pidgin!! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13930: Likewise with "European capital cities" and the ease of the connections, but the minion link requires specialist knowledge of a different age group to mine! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #9004: An entertaining wall. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13930: Agree with the comments. Easy to identify the groups but not necessarily the connections. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13909: Tbf I might have chosen a better word for the quartet to relate to... but it does indeed have that original meaning. I did consider using "full" :-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13930: Agree with this review apart from the first 2 words: try to get all 4 groups, as a rule, having some sort of apparent overlap with another group. ( also - first names of something only really works if there are unusual names that could be missed.) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joan @ #246: QI opening credits a bit obscure, otherwise neat. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Oliver @ #13905: Cash is not a type of dough. It is a slang term for it, at best a synonym. Completely different to play, sour etc... Which ARE types of dough. That was a really bad category that breaks the wall but other than that it was good (6 years, 7 months ago)

Oliver @ #13900: Good grid. Loads of herrings and cleverly thought out. However your instruments are all wrong. Maestro and Casino are not manufacturers. They are product lines of manufacturers. Yamaha manufacture Maestro products and Casino guitars are by Epiphone. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #13909: Oliver - it is catholic with a small c - if you took the time to look it up you would find it means all-embracing. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Oliver @ #13930: Good grid but far too easy as there are no red herrings. Also, it would not accept ''European capital cities" so I have no idea what your keywords are (6 years, 7 months ago)

Oliver @ #13909: How the hell does 'Catholic' mean 'full' or 'comprehensive'? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Oliver @ #13906: Was gooood but don't now harf of it (6 years, 7 months ago)

Fridge @ #13921: Nice grid, but who the hell knows the names of children in the Kardashian family!? Xd (6 years, 7 months ago)

Paul @ #13928: V. Good. I didn't see the snakes at all. The rest was a little easy. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #13919: Virtually impossible. Also fundamentally flawed as there are a number of correct solutions - B (Bea, a name (pronounced Bee) can swap with J (Jay - a bird); V (Vee, a name can swap with M and D; C (see) can swap with I. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Big Debs @ #11870: Berry; definition of poultry Poultry (/ˌpoʊltriː/) are domesticated birds kept by humans for their eggs, their meat or their feathers. These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails and turkeys). Poultry also includes other birds that are killed for their meat, such as the young of pigeons (known as squabs) but does not include similar wild birds hunted for sport or food and known as game. The word "poultry" comes from the French/Norman word poule, itself derived from the Latin word pullus, which means small animal. The domestication of poultry took place several thousand years ago. This may have originally been as a result of people hatching and rearing young birds from eggs collected from the wild, but later involved keeping the birds permanently in captivity. Domesticated chickens may have been used for cockfighting at first and quail kept for their songs, but soon it was realised how useful it was having a captive-bred source of food. Selective breeding for fast growth, egg-laying ability, conformation, plumage and docility took place over the centuries, and modern breeds often look very different from their wild ancestors. Although some birds are still kept in small flocks in extensive systems, most birds available in the market today are reared in intensive commercial enterprises. Poultry is the second most widely eaten type of meat globally and, along with eggs, provides nutritionally beneficial food containing high-quality protein accompanied by a low proportion of fat. All poultry meat should be properly handled and sufficiently cooked in order to reduce the risk of food poisoning. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Cheeser @ #13790: Didn't allow tree for an answer, despite types of tree being the answer! Also didn't allow "prefixes of size". (6 years, 7 months ago)

H @ #13557: A good quiz (6 years, 7 months ago)

;gighgregkjoieg @ #11167: reghreggkrefjtentrnr2toib (6 years, 7 months ago)

jacob @ #11167: this was utterly a disgrace. I will cry now and sue you guys See you in court!!!!!1 (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13782: Though oddly, Newcastle's home ground is always referred to as St James' park and Exeter's as St James's. Any ideas guys? I'm confused now. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13782: You are right EJG! I stand corrected. (6 years, 7 months ago)

plz @ #186: no (6 years, 7 months ago)

plz @ #184: top up????????????????????? (6 years, 7 months ago)

EJG @ #13775: feeling extremely pedantic today, for which I apologise, but Pistachio isn't a nut, it's a fruit (drupe) (6 years, 7 months ago)

EJG @ #13782: Actually, it's (it is) St James's as James is not plural. And no apostrophe in Jacks. Love a bit of pedantry! Good grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

EJG @ #13783: good one but didn't accept medic. couldn't think of another word (6 years, 7 months ago)

EJG @ #13784: Got the solutions, but couldn't get the groups in time. Lots of crossovers made it a challenging grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

Peekay @ #13783: Great grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13745: Rather dictatorial, Chris. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13782: Ps enjoyed it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13782: I have one thing to say and its St James'. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13782: Edddaduck - As Kurt Vonnegut said, "The first rule: do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing" I too need to get out more! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13705: One Christmas is quite enough for me! Nice ideas in this one! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Edddaduck @ #13782: In that case, you should use a semicolon instead of a comma before pedantry; independent clauses, and all that. Boy, I need a life. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13782: Jacks does not have an apostrophe because it's plural not possessive. Need to check your grammar, pedantry is a badge of honour on here ;-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

JJezebel @ #13776: Fun, thank you. Rocks under Landslide is a pretty accurate of the Black Cats at the moment... (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13771: It was a neat idea. Hard to think of original and new ideas. It beat me but i found It fun. (6 years, 7 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13771: Hello JF, thanks for your comment. The idea behind the grid was that it should be "letter" related... one set is words misspelt with extra letters, one set is related to missing letters (the asterisk is used as a sort of 'wild card' for spelling rude words) one set has the answer "letter" etc... anyhow it doesn't really seem to have come off, unfortunately, so I guess it's back to the drawing board. Thanks anyway everyone (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13776: Enjoyed this. I especially liked the hidden football teams connection. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Soaveiro @ #13705: Sorry. I made a slight mistake with the wall. I have just learned there are two Christmas'. (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13751: Actually Port is the right side of a ship and gets its name from the fact that the loading port was normally on that side. So it is a part of a ship. (6 years, 7 months ago)

JF @ #13771: Not sure about this one. Isn't it an apostrophe that indicates a missing letter? And I'm not sure about a link being a misspelling with nothing else to link them. (6 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #39: Why is this still up? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13713: Good grid, brilliantly devious (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mr. Flibble @ #13769: Brilliant - but the one grouping didn't have the two obvious terms in it (biblical, scriptural), though "bible" was the answer. Really enjoyable! Thank you! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13721: Good grid, nice one! (6 years, 7 months ago)

EJG @ #13771: huh? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Lars Thorwald @ #13729: Grrrrrr! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13755: After the two TV programmes, I went to pot! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13749: Seconded! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13748: Champions League winners should be accepted. Same with currencies. (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13769: Good grid but the tricky part with numbers is you can always find another solution. For example swap the 1 and the 125 and you have a group where every number is cubed and another group where every number is divisible by 5. (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #1996: Pelican rise is missing an S (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ted @ #13748: Please, European and U.K. Teams - champions league teams incorrect when answer is football teams ! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13765: Thanks, Mr Tom. Nopal is a cactus, apparently. I was going to use "no parking" but thought it better to use a single word. Stump would have been a superior choice. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13765: Like the Duffy Group. Nopal is a new one on me, think I used stump :-) (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba722 @ #1396: Good puzzle (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba722 @ #2093: good grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

Alphabetty @ #13748: 30 secs to complete! Not really anything to challenge answers too varied and could only really fall into one catagory too simplistic (6 years, 7 months ago)

Alphabetty @ #3016: Bit different to usual style anagrammes and a beginning letter in common?! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Graham @ #13757: Enjoyed this. We had never heard of a drupe before, so it was educational, too! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Alphabetty @ #13751: 39 secs to complete (6 years, 7 months ago)

Alphabetty @ #13752: 24 seconds to complete?! (6 years, 7 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #13751: Port is not a part of a ship it is a direction on a ship like fron and back (6 years, 7 months ago)

Veggie @ #9708: My "contain bird's names" was not accepted. Frustrating. (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #13750: Some good crossovers (6 years, 7 months ago)

henty @ #13727: decent grid. one a little offbeat but overall fair play to you. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #7392: You mean followed by I think. Very enjoyable and too good to hurry:) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Melanie @ #13392: Any wall with Bob is good (6 years, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #13748: Yeah I was a bit gutted with "currencies" not being accepted. (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #7392: Liking the hills (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #13748: "Champions League winners" is obviously too precise... (6 years, 7 months ago)

stevo67 @ #13753: Towcester is misspelt; "cigarettes" didn't work (6 years, 7 months ago)

Iain @ #13727: Nice attempt! (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13742: I like this a lot. Good ideas and variety. Well done. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Graham @ #13749: Good grid, but I think you need to revisit the keywords for the answers. British Prime Ministers, European Cities of Culture and Cats all came up as wrong... I would like to argue that they were in fact right! (6 years, 7 months ago)

N @ #10509: Marvellous grid - thank you! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13753: I think there is more than one solution here. Your building society connection could also be categorised as towns/cities in Yorkshire; and as Beverley also has a racecourse it could be switched with Ripon as a place in Yorkshire and be a correct solution. (6 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #13745: moor not accepted. fish- better if the word either precedes or follows, not effective if it's either. cock- this group was OK although no red herrings. ice hockey/curling?? pick one and stick to it. Learn to group things and include red herrings and plenty of key words for acceptable answers. When you've learnt to do this then keep posting new ones. (6 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #13747: Canary Islands not named after birds. BANTAMS is correct spelling. One flew over the Cuckoo's nest (note the apostrophe) + generally poor group. Culture... before or after a word. Please, talk about clutching at straws. (6 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #13748: currencies isn't accepted! wtf? (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13746: Good one. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13747: ... He beat me to it. (Also, Bantams!) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13748: All valid groups... Try to make sure every group has some way of getting confused with other groups: mint -> dollar doesn't really work (6 years, 7 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #13747: The Canary Islands are named after the dogs that where found there (Canine) and the birds are named after the island not the other way round (6 years, 7 months ago)

Darren @ #186: Excellent. Nice hidden numbers! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Darren @ #184: Good wall, pretty straightforward. Some people obviously don't get the point that there are supposed to be words which fit into more than one category. It's what makes it more challenging to solve. (6 years, 7 months ago)

N @ #10830: Great grid. Thanks! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Redkite @ #525: Graphs should have legends, although not scales (6 years, 7 months ago)

N @ #13712: Flag connection is tenuous at best, Marky Mark connection is poor and how “boy bands” wasn’t accepted is beyond me. Also, Judi Dench is spelt with an “i” not a “y”. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ejg @ #13733: Changed my mind. Loved it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

CellBlock @ #13741: Is "loops beach" an autocorrect of "koopa"? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #13742: Difficult one! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Flump @ #13712: Like others the grammatically correct "boy bands" registered as incorrect. The last group had tenuous connections. (6 years, 7 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13723: Great, as always. Thank you (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13699: Well done on providing an, er, acceptable answer!!! I just tried typing "muses" for the same connection and it was accepted. Clearly, any word with a u and s consecutively in it is going to be suitable. Much watch out for that in the future. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13723: Get well soon, Blues! No doubt you will with your bottled cure-all. (6 years, 7 months ago)

anonymous @ #13701: programming languages is not accepted for the first one and monopoly spaces is not accepted for the third (6 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #13723: Thank you all very encouraging. Toast Wiz, sitting here nursing the flu. Which in hindsight isn't a bad thing because I've just found the cure... Whiskey (see quiz explanations)... Actually it might not be whiskey but it seems pretty familiar and the bottle is the correct shape... Well the correct colour... Looking at it now it looks more like a sauce bottle... but hey ho! at least it's glass. One sec... hic... Brandy maybe, but cheers anyway. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13723: Super duper...and I’m with you on which is the best hour :) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #13726: Good grid. Difficult but not too difficult Lots of red herrings. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13725: Sorry for the typo, folks. The entry should of course read SKIPJACK TUNA and not skipjack tina, though this does not affect the connection in any way. Chris wants to know who skipjack tina is as she suspects it might be a woman I have been seeing on the side without telling her!! (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13704: OK , the purple people eater is an old favourite we all whistle in the bath , but Tim Rice? Come on! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Nathan @ #13727: One surreal category but worthwhile overall, good puzzling :) (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13723: Blues -Good to see you back on the right side of the bars. The grid did me up like a rippek but then it did take Wiz and myself a bit longer than is healthy to work out which of the three of us had disappeared so perhaps trying a hard one was a bit optimistic of me. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #13723: VERY good. Thanks (6 years, 7 months ago)

Lewisham Lou @ #13727: Tricky. Good attempt nevertheless. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Iain @ #13713: Wow that was tricky as there were many crossovers. I got 1 category. I would say it's a good effort though. Worth a go if you like TV & film. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Coneheads @ #13724: Very good :) (6 years, 7 months ago)

ejg @ #13723: Yours grids are excellent - love 'em (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13723: That was fun,Blues! Toast and I ,and others I am sure ,have missed you! We had a few ideas as to where you might be. (6 years, 7 months ago)

be26 @ #13712: The Mark Wahlberg connection doesn't work - he wasn't in NKOTB and his brother being in it is too much of a stretch. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Von @ #13715: Very clever puzzle which was quite tricky. Hilarious links (6 years, 7 months ago)

Coneheads @ #13699: I typed in 'Sausages' for the US State Capitals one, and it displayed as a right answer. I appreciate the gift, but I don't feel I deserved the point :o) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Coneheads @ #13713: This one was pretty much impossible. But not the good type of impossible. (6 years, 7 months ago)

@ejg @ #13712: enter "boyband" (6 years, 7 months ago)

ejg @ #13718: A reader's current book? No idea what that means. Japan is not AN island, neither is Samoa. Admittedly, Hawaii Island (or The Big Island) is an island in the state of Hawaii. (6 years, 7 months ago)

ejg @ #13713: Personally, I dislike grids that have two squares the same - using incorrectly spelled names as a solution is annoying as many grids contain unintentional errors. (6 years, 7 months ago)

ejg @ #13712: didn't accept boy bands and the marky mark connection a bit laboured. (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13718: My favorite thing about China is definitely China (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13689: can't fault it (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13691: tobacco products? (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13704: purple people eater? (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13706: really enjoyable (6 years, 7 months ago)

knife @ #13709: Yes, good one. Dumbo threw me. Possibly a bit obscure, but perhaps just my lack of knowledge. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Tootô @ #13682: Nice one! Love the Community reference (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13704: The "Cycloptic" line would make for an excellent Sequences Round question! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Tootô @ #13691: I got ten points, dem whinies should leave you alone. Nice one, not too difficult, not too easy! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Tootô @ #13702: Ellen Page was easy, Georgia cities were fine to figure out, and the rest was actually not that hard anymore because there were five names left - but I got lucky that I excluded the right one without losing all my lives (6 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #13701: Did not accept "programming languages" or "monopoly" as correct answers and yet apparently they were? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Tootô @ #13709: Nice one! Deserves more than 3 stars (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13706: Good explanations thanks. (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13709: Nice misdirects! (6 years, 7 months ago)

JonBob @ #13710: The Clooney row isn't really how connections are supposed to work. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13692: Now there's a thought toast.Had missed Blues too but imagined it was to do with rugby! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13711: Nice one! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Honeybb @ #13710: Nice, it was very hard to figure out, love the movie reference that was a red herring... (6 years, 7 months ago)

Dave @ #13421: Good one! Took me a few moments to figure out the link between the group with lace in it, but fortunately at that point the clock has stopped running. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #13702: Very good and very difficult. Got thrown off by months and Brians (6 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #13701: Didn't accept 'programming languages' or 'monopoly' (6 years, 7 months ago)

Matt @ #13703: 'J' isn't accepted for the J group (6 years, 7 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13695: Cheers toast, basically this is an online communal parlour game isn't it! (6 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #35: Great! Nice and tricky. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #13694: Really nice variety! This was a fun one. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Judy @ #2297: Awesome grid! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Judy @ #13421: Good one! (6 years, 7 months ago)

BelgianAlien @ #13421: This grid taught me I don't do so well on these grids... but I still like trying. (6 years, 7 months ago)

TommiBryson @ #13685: I had no idea they were all Test Cricketers too! that's rather amusing :D as for paper islands, they're cartographic errors so to speak; islands that were included in multiple maps despite not being real. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Only Me @ #13700: So 'Formula One' not enough then? 'part from that - loved it. (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13692: Funny you should mention that Wiz. I was just wondering where Blues has got to... (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13698: Good grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13700: Enjoyed it, nice connections. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Colin Oscopy @ #13695: Liking your work. And a timely pancake reference too. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13692: Better than being behind bars though. (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13692: On the other hand just being in the bars has proved to be of no help at all. Cheers anyway! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Angry Derek @ #87: To many formattign erros. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Prue @ #11973: Very enjoyable grid! (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13695: I don't want to"pan" this or "gloss " over the skills shown in setting it but to be " Candide" it is no piece of cake. (6 years, 7 months ago)

TeamV @ #13695: Hmmm (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13685: I think it's or was in Copenhagen. And I think there is a stationery outlet with that name too. (6 years, 7 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13692: Sometimes being a one-time bar piano player actually comes in useful! (6 years, 7 months ago)

ejg @ #13691: shame it didn't accept tobacco - but good grid otherwise (6 years, 7 months ago)

ejg @ #13685: I too put England Test Cricketers! Also, paper islands? I thought Emerald Isle... what are paper islands? (6 years, 7 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13693: Damn! My mistake! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13685: I enjoyed this grid, though I did not suggest the Canterbury Tales connection but proposed an alternative link. Alistair/Nick COOK, Nick KNIGHT, Dermot REEVE and Geoff MILLER are all present/former England test cricketers. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13686: Fun grid. Thank you. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13689: This was indeed good fun to solve. Thanks. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jeff @ #13693: You put planet twice in the same category. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13690: I enjoyed solving this one though I did not identify snooker balls as being a connection. Thanks for all your kind comments in relation to my puzzles, GRS. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jeff @ #13694: If you changed the insurance logo one to make it more accessible to people who don't live in the US then it'd be perfect. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13683: Thanks, PB, for your kind and helpful comments. If the issue was the Winter Olympic equipment category I used that simply because it is topical at present. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Midge @ #13691: Good gridding, thank you (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13682: Very enjoyable. Although you say 'recently' on Community? It's almost been five years.... (6 years, 7 months ago)

PB @ #13683: I don't think he realises the colour of the category is based on the order they resolve in. I though all categories were quite good though (6 years, 7 months ago)

JCG @ #13691: Though it's admittedly odd, the state is spelled "Connecticut." Fun categories. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Matt G @ #13694: This is a great quiz! Will share ;) (6 years, 7 months ago)

Conneticut? @ #13691: Google, use it! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13691: Awesome grid! Loved the states and tobacco and orange link! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Will @ #13690: Multiple correct solutions :( (6 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #13037: (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13686: Good grid - got them! (just) (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13689: Good grid! Fun. (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13671: Only got wood! (6 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #7852: (6 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #13507: (6 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #13507: (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13672: Fun but cow! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13678: A teaser! (6 years, 7 months ago)

kittymcg @ #8803: I love this type. Thank you (6 years, 7 months ago)

kittymcg @ #10121: Some excellent groups! Thank you (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13679: Too hard for us limeys! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13684: Tough but loved it! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13682: Liked the greek letters! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13673: Pleased the grid has surfaced again! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13673: Thankyou , toast, what would I do without you!? (6 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #13631: (6 years, 7 months ago)

cj @ #13034: good (6 years, 7 months ago)

King Arthur @ #1942: easy (6 years, 7 months ago)

King Arthur @ #98: Too easy solved in seconds (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13683: Blue category? (6 years, 7 months ago)

ecohansen @ #13680: very fun. " surprise" was the last thing I figured out, so it was a literal surprise. 5 points just for that! (6 years, 7 months ago)

ecohansen @ #13673: Thank you, Wiz and Toast! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13683: Good, except for the blue category. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13680: Like it (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13672: Good stuff. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13676: Good one. (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13672: excellent (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13678: Tough grid, you've got to know your music. Well done. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13679: Stumped us, but we are British!! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13680: Good, challenging grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13677: Suggest you read the advice about using short word stems for acceptable answers. Otherwise a decent grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13680: another good one (6 years, 7 months ago)

g @ #13682: easy but still very good.thanks (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13673: Wiz. The grid has been marked down so it only shows if you select grids of poor quality or better ( the default being good or better). Unfortunately that tends to happen to fiendish grids perhaps because people can't do them and feel bad. The grid doesn't deserve its low marking. (6 years, 7 months ago)

ML @ #12914: Good walk can’t believe I didn’t get the profession link thought too cryptic (6 years, 7 months ago)

ML @ #13232: Good wall interesting links not a clue on the jazz musicians and harsh not to get different pronounciations but having to state the song: (6 years, 7 months ago)

ML @ #13656: Good wall good links and a cryptic connection (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13672: In the Wirral, near Liverpool (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13675: Good one, very testing. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Midge @ #13675: Beautiful. RIP (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13673: Where has this grid gone? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13673: As toast said, imaginative and entertaining. A lot of thought was needed to create it I imagine, and to solve it took some too.i only managed one line. (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13673: Imaginative though I suspect Brits don't use all the terms in quite the same way as (very well) explained. Funnily enough I set a grid long ago with a line of words with two more or less opposite meanings and one of them was " cleave " which you have used as your red herring! So obviously I think the grid is great. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Xx @ #13673: Nope - too convoluted with the categories... (6 years, 7 months ago)

Xx @ #13672: New Brighton?? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Iain @ #13522: Quite enjoyable. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Psmith @ #13642: Clever. Plenty of red herrings. I was looking for a fourth beer for ages! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Xx @ #13628: Really good categories (6 years, 7 months ago)

Xx @ #13639: simple but enjoyable grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

Grugen @ #13630: Cracking grid, you got me kicking myself on the Tube presenters (6 years, 7 months ago)

Xx @ #13668: Nice one (6 years, 7 months ago)

EJG @ #13671: didn't accept wooded areas. :-( (6 years, 7 months ago)

Redkite @ #355: Perfect not allowed as answer?! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13668: Nice one to start the day! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13643: Most definitely RossChris- but not as much as my 5 year old! He is now also a puzzgrid fan. There are other similar themed grids but hidden from the main page... (6 years, 7 months ago)

Henry @ #11803: Since when was Ellie Goulding a band? (6 years, 7 months ago)

JCG @ #13639: Americans solving the puzzle will answer "colors" not "colours" and not get credit for that category. Might have gone with "col" to avoid the spelling difference problem. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ml @ #12778: Not actual universal truths I wouldn’t call them living condition just outcomes of the living conditions more abstract than some tastebuds gallery exhibits (6 years, 7 months ago)

Stevo67 @ #136: sloe gin (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13669: A couple of nice lines here! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Rater @ #13668: Easy (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jem @ #8772: sorry but 50 in roman numerals is L not C. It should be 100!!! (6 years, 7 months ago)

tony @ #4639: excellent. would have spent 10 years solving the trig one.. (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13663: Good one. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13667: This was compiled by Chris, not Ross. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13652: This was a Chris, not a Ross, wall (6 years, 7 months ago)

Phil @ #2494: Idiot compiler Eponyms??? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #7234: Nice grid, solved with 28 seconds to spare. Plenty of red herrings too. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13659: Ok I've got my head my head around it now. (6 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #13659: Sorry Knockers but Psmith is right . There can only be one (unique) solution since the format only permits one solution to be marked correct and it would make a nonsense of the game to mark a (second or third) workable solution as wrong. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13659: I have never understood this Psmith. Thankyou for explanation, but I am still puzzled. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Psmith @ #13659: Red herrings are ok, encouraged even, but you need to make sure two answers can't simply be swapped between the groups they are in and the groups still work. For example old head/tin head and old man/tin man. It doesn't matter which group you put them in as the groups still work. There should only be one correct final answer for the grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Knockers @ #13659: Psmith and Ajay - that was deliberate and I thought I was being a genius. Is it against the rules?! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Psmith @ #13659: Head and Man can be swapped over in their groups too. Not good (6 years, 7 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13656: I liked this - a lot! Thanks. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Ajay @ #13659: 2 of the answers in the 'egg' group can be interchanged with 2 of the answers in the 'out' group (6 years, 7 months ago)

Midge @ #13659: Possibly the best, very clever, very difficult. Well done. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13655: I agree with SouthernDog. This was fun. Good one. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13643: I take it you are a Star Wars fan, GRS? I managed to solve this one. Good fun. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13644: Didn't get the rebel bases or light saber duel connections; got confused with all the planets! Good grid. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13659: Very tricky with so many crossovers. A great challenge! (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13658: Enjoyable grid. I couldn't identify the Peep Show connection. Good stuff and keep them coming. (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13656: Love the flower group! (6 years, 7 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13655: Fun (6 years, 7 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13656: RossChris, you! (6 years, 7 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13657: Quite fun, hard but not impossible (6 years, 7 months ago)

Midge @ #13642: Annagrams of animals! Are you having a laugh? That’s too hard. Liked the other groups though. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Julia @ #13602: Almost impossible if you don't live in London or support Arsenal. Shows a lack of imagination (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wonderful @ #13602: Fantastic quiz, very informative. Difficult, though! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13632: Oh my days (one). Too good for me! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13642: Yes, tough indeed! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13652: Brill! But 'poet' not accepted (otherwise would have got two). Loved the sidekick group! (6 years, 7 months ago)

Redkite @ #274: Do re mi not accepted, despite being the answer! (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba @ #12979: Fun thank you (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13642: Tough one. Good stuff. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #13649: Got 15 out of 16 (6 years, 7 months ago)

HMG @ #1396: 6 possibles for one category - not good (6 years, 7 months ago)

HMG @ #2297: (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba @ #3607: This was rated as medium, I would rate it as easy. Fun thankyou (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba @ #4069: I think the category "mutants" should have been ok (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13595: Brilliant - even if linking words wrong! e.g. cross. Is that the only one. Loved it! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13611: Good groups! Vessel not given as correct tho... (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13621: My second time!! Got all the groups except the Hitchcock link!!! Good one! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13640: Agree with Wiz! Bird group cool. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Flanners @ #13616: Fair point. (6 years, 7 months ago)

anthony @ #13631: a good grid (6 years, 7 months ago)

Joseph Fell @ #13641: Very flattered (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13640: I enjoy your grids, full of surprises, but fair. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13626: That is what I call fiendish. Beat me all ends up. (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13639: Enjoyable grid. Did not come up with the Harry Potter connection so you caught us with that one. Well done. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13631: I think one has a double"ll"? (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wanda Doff @ #13630: Tough, but well constructed. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Redkite @ #269: Too samey (6 years, 7 months ago)

RossChris @ #13630: I enjoyed this one; quite challenging. Thank you and well done. (6 years, 7 months ago)

Shark @ #13045: Should gave accepted "pants" for the trousers group, otherwise an excellent wall. (6 years, 7 months ago)

banana @ #12850: too much specialist TV (6 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #13626: Same for me, didn't have the knowledge to complete. Good groups though. (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13624: Excellent! (6 years, 7 months ago)

GRS @ #13630: Good fun, a couple of tough connections (6 years, 7 months ago)

Banana @ #13616: Too much specialised music (6 years, 7 months ago)

dabba @ #10495: clever last set (6 years, 8 months ago)

Garagehead @ #13618: Nice grid, got there in the end! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Midge @ #13626: Too fiendish for me, got one group, by accident! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13284: I always think I could at least have got one of these lines. I think I panic and the numbers slide into a blur.This, I hasten to say, is not a criticism of the grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

89 @ #13284: 65 (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13623: G&Ts. Sorry! And I sadly haven't had any! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13623: It's another rather fine grid requiring and displaying a wide spread of knowledge.i didn't solve it but I took a good shot. Pretty impressive after the G&it's! (6 years, 8 months ago)

RossChris @ #13617: Got the Bettys and the capitals but beaten on the other two. Tough grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13624: Awesome crossovers,tied me up in knots! Clever,Thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13610: Love the Nutella reference! (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #33: Really good, well done! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #13623: Defence not accepted as an answer, apart from that good grid, if a little too difficult for me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RossChris @ #13623: Indeed I have and I must apologise profusely for doing so. One too many gin and tonics, methinks! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13622: Good one, enjoyed it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13619: Good stuff. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13602: Tantalising. So close and yet..... (6 years, 8 months ago)

RossChris @ #13622: I enjoyed this one. It concerned two of my favourite subjects - Strictly and Bond - and you beat me with the French connection (no pun intended). Got the group but did not see the link. Well done. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13606: Liked the Thomas line, though I didn't get it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Donald @ #13623: You have mis-spelled Maigret. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13600: Nice one . (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ethan @ #9489: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ethan @ #13622: Loved it, thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13622: I apologise. I've just realised that there are 2 possible solutions to this grid. You could swap Brosnan and Connery and still be correct. Sorry again. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ethan @ #10172: loved it, thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13619: Another nice one. Dived into the handicaps but got bogged down trying to remember a 4th Paul Simon tune. Thank you. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13620: I liked this one. Thank you. I like learning from grids and now I know about tea roses! (6 years, 8 months ago)

dabba @ #13543: The for the toilet catagory is reading as incorrect even though I entered it as the toilet. Thank you for the grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

dabba @ #13545: Nice beginner grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

dabba @ #13605: I think King, club queen etc should not include club which is a card suit but not a card designation so it seems a little out of the category but of course just imho. Thank you for the grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

dabba @ #13604: thank you (6 years, 8 months ago)

Xx @ #13605: Good but pretty easy (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13621: I did enjoy doing this,Thankyou! Nice crossovers. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ptim @ #13621: Getting better? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Chuck @ #13353: I'd love to know how JJLeDJ pronounces "for" and "four". Good grid. I got the Gervais ones before I even saw Extras, so the red herring didn't work on me. I was convinced there were chewing gums! (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13610: Like it , (though I have French relatives and I can assure you that almost anything would merge seamlessly into the Nutella group). (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13619: Excellent. Fell for the Simon and Garfunkel trick. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RossChris @ #13620: Oops. Sorry about that, GRS. I added an "s". Any way I can amend it? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Chuck @ #13383: I said "TV shows" and it was incorrect :( Victoria Coren would have raised her eyebrow and asked me to be more specific ... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Chuck @ #13412: yeah, agree - wider range of terms needed for answers as it was saying they were wrong. Nice grid though. (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #13620: Good fun! 'Airport' not accepted though... Hybrid tea roses tricky! (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #13618: One for the seasoned traveller! (6 years, 8 months ago)

OI @ #9863: decent (6 years, 8 months ago)

OI @ #4069: WRONG (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13618: So! The clue was in the name! Did for me but some who know will enjoy! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13612: I enjoyed this, nicely balanced! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #1937: Wonderfully obscure, you must be great to have on a pub quiz team And I thought I knew my football. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13602: Ridiculous (6 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #13610: Top grid, made my head hurt, nice one. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13609: That was a nicely varied and satisfying grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13594: Of course it's Lenin, missed that. (6 years, 8 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13600: Fun (6 years, 8 months ago)

Grugen @ #13593: Thanks for the comments - Yes, Jezebel, Owen did score against Argentina in 1998 and Lineker played in the 1990 semi final so there's a couple of ambiguities in there, just for spite! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #13602: Very tough. Beat me all ends up! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Stew Dapple @ #13606: Very good. Teasing and intelligent, well done. (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13594: It's Lenin no Lenny and, as Donald said, Sancho Panza. (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13600: good one (6 years, 8 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13574: Cheers (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13605: a good grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13601: Hmmm... a big fat zero. Think some specialist London knowledge needed for this one. Bishop's Road appears twice and '2' is tenuous at best (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jeff @ #13602: Bit too provincial, not recommended for anyone outside London. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ethan @ #184: loved it, thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bear @ #13602: Excellent - especially if you know your London history! (6 years, 8 months ago)

FP23 @ #13601: Sorry, there is a mistake here - I entered Bishop's Road twice (and didn't notice while checking). It should have been 'Bear' instead! (6 years, 8 months ago)

FrankieJoe @ #13574: Really enjoyed this one! Well done :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bmd34 @ #13474: Got it but wouldn’t accept ‘apostrophes’ and ‘hyphens’? (6 years, 8 months ago)

OKTarg @ #13598: Yikes! Was a fun puzzle but very hard (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13572: Super stuff, thanks. Far too knotty for me but all made perfect sense when I saw the ‘reveal’! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Tara Woolfolk @ #13419: I think I just figured it out. 3rd line should be Cups. 4th should be things that end in Family. Argh. Never have seen or done this before! Would love to find more contestant quizzes for Ask Me Another! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13593: Liked this, thanks. Am I wrong to think that Owen and Beckham could be swapped? I thought Owen scored against Argentina when he was a wunderkind? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #13576: Just the right level of difficulty. Plenty of red herrings, solved with nine seconds to spare ! (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #3: Good! (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #48: top notch (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #13593: Tough!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13594: I thought there were some nice ideas here. Different .thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13590: Cool grid,nice and varied. (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #13590: Very good - should have got Monkey_ ! (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #13572: Fun grid! Liked the coffee group (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #13574: Tricky but really good fun! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #13593: OK but a little too much of one subject for me but thanks anyway for the effort. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13594: Had potential but a bit sloppy. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ptim @ #13597: (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13591: Good ideas but sloppy execution. (6 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #13557: edd was yellow but otherwise great (6 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #13569: not bad at all thank you (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13591: Swimming has a double m (6 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #13591: so many things . mm in swimming,horse precedes clues not follows. nice try but check your answers (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13591: Don't you mean all FOLLOW horse? (6 years, 8 months ago)

phoenix177 @ #10577: Enjoyed this (6 years, 8 months ago)

phoenix177 @ #11243: A bit too obscure for my liking (6 years, 8 months ago)

phoenix177 @ #9875: Great overlaps (6 years, 8 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13557: Tough, but fun. (6 years, 8 months ago)

phoenix177 @ #4069: Good red herrings, Fuji is my favourite apple! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13585: That was my dodgy one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13572: Coffee one was a zinger, but great grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13585: Am I being thick? Don't understand the books group. Didn't accept diarists, bizarrely (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13585: Had high hopes when I saw this, two good lines, one ok and one dodgy I think. But thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omen @ #13581: Nice!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13499: Don't remember why I messed up so take the notes sorry (6 years, 8 months ago)

Lance K @ #13580: That Right was mean (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11579: Good one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Gunther245 @ #13581: This was pretty good. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11902: Definitely should have accepted "rulers" which fit your category better than your answer did. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11903: As others have said your answers are too specific and you need to accept synonyms. Such as dozen for twelve for 12. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11911: Parts of an apple is WAY too specific. Those are parts of most every fruit. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #13372: Definitely should have accepted Apostles. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Seamus @ #6093: Very good and entertaining wall, but as others have commented answers are rather strict. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13527: I liked priministers as a word but it was difficult to guess! (6 years, 8 months ago)

toeswest @ #13572: Nice grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

TMcB23 @ #13552: I put 'flying' and 'cake' as two of the options and it didn't accept them? (6 years, 8 months ago)

toeswest @ #13575: Fun grid ... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #8497: Consider accepting "Money" for "Currency" (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #8652: Loved the letters. (6 years, 8 months ago)

TMcB23 @ #13572: Really like this one. I got the owls and the _express groups but only just before the end because there were s many red herrings! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Lance K @ #13561: Ya I didn’t get anything correct (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11117: It accepts "Singers" for British Singers and "Authors" for British authors, but does NOT accept "Counties" for British Counties. What?!? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11636: I also put Electronics (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11803: First of all, Eminem is not a band. Second, it should not be wrong if I know it's currency, but don't specify that it's "Fifty" of a currency. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #11843: As others have said, I can't believe that "Central America" is not accepted here. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #12498: Can't believe it wouldn't accept "Movies" as being correct for "Action Movies." (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #12922: Couple of problems with this one. Twelve days of Christmas was inconsistent. Three of them were the nouns that were given as gifts, but the fourth one was the adjective describing the gift. The category described as "Christmas Cake" wouldn't accept the answer of "Christmas Treats", which is actually a more accurate description, as Panettone is actually a bread and pudding is not necessarily cake. (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #32: Funky House? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #13553: I hadn't heard of Daisy as a nickname for Margaret. Possibly a bit obscure these days... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #13552: Nice grid - but failing to capitalise all of the clues made it a lot easier to break them into their respective groups! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #13556: Yes, a great grid indeed. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13553: I just know I didn't know enough to solve this, but hats off to those who do...and the gridder of course! (6 years, 8 months ago)

RadioRentals @ #13557: I got 6/10. It was good :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Boo @ #13518: i thought it was good! couple of tricky ones what with the red herrings but i did like it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #13546: I love it (6 years, 8 months ago)

Excellent @ #13553: We need more like this: intelligent design, a good general cultural knowledge helps but possible to solve without, very satisfying to complete. (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13569: must stop typing synonyms as an answer! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Janice @ #12989: The Fictional Mr question came up incorrect even though I put the answer twice (6 years, 8 months ago)

12455gg @ #13555: Historically epic! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13554: London underground lines not acceptable! Victoria Coren Mitchell isn't here to say that more is required!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Helen @ #13538: Got 2 and thought it was good. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Faust @ #13553: Fab!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Large Blue @ #13252: Pamela (6 years, 8 months ago)

Tposer @ #13396: The Queens of England and Netherlands category seemed arbitrary -I felt with such similar items for all tiles, the connections needed to be very strong. (6 years, 8 months ago)

L @ #13419: beathing? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Deano @ #13491: Sorry PM (6 years, 8 months ago)

ERF @ #12744: Agree with Omegaman (6 years, 8 months ago)

Matthew123 @ #13553: This is SO HARD (6 years, 8 months ago)

Alexandra @ #13419: I contend that "trophies" is a legitimate answer equivalent to "sports cups". Harumph! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Rt @ #2297: Great (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #31: Tricky but good- is Still a typo? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13546: Fun one, thank you. I like a croissant in any language! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Gray @ #13545: I was a bit cheesed off to have "human development" come up as incorrect. Otherwise a good grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #12778: PM, you are a person of strong opinions! (6 years, 8 months ago)

g @ #13545: not too difficult but enjoyable (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #12778: So short life expectancy was a Medieval Living Condition was it? No, it was a consequence of medieaval living conditions. Trying to be too clever for your own good sunshine! This was crap! (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #12803: Clever one (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13027: Romeo's right. Fiendish - difficult to do is interesting. Tenuous, overly specific and basically up your own arse is just a waste of time. And that's why I'm outta here.... (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13110: Agree with the others. Some people clearly think they're really clever putting really obscure ones in. WHAT'S THE POINT! (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13173: Agree with Jemima. Some people clearly think they're really clever putting really obscure ones in. About as bright an idea as me doing a grid featuring 4 Names of dogs I've had; 4 places I've been on holiday; 4 types of cheese I've eaten; and 4 words used in Oscar winning films. WHAT'S THE POINT! (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13243: Great if you've gone to a public school in the South of England. Look out for mine featuring Council Estates in Northern cities and different names for the police. (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13489: Too US specific. (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13496: Saw the racing drivers, the defunct cars (except Marcos, never heard of that) and the Powers (except Samuel L) so had no chance. Suppose quite a good one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13546: It was enjoyable to puzzle over! Got two and guessed one. (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13546: Although country specific I guessed at slang for money but was incorrect. Not a bad grid though (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13497: An excellent grid, altho I got none of the lines ! (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13507: First hard one i've got 10/10 on, yippee. Good one (6 years, 8 months ago)

PM @ #13527: Very enjoyable (6 years, 8 months ago)

Lewis @ #13536: How was my guess of DIRTY DANCING correct when the answer was 'blue' song titles?? Feeling bad I got the points under the wrong circumstances! (6 years, 8 months ago)

FrankieJoe @ #13537: This was hard! But very satisfying. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Lewis @ #13532: Very good. Nice attempt :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13496: Aaargh! Hands up any other "Knights of the Dinner Table" readers who convinced themselves into a complete red herring on this one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13525: Two categories were too similar. Not a great wall overall. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13522: One of the worst walls yet. (6 years, 8 months ago)

MB @ #13524: Very enjoyable (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jones @ #4836: I liked the John Malkovich category - witty. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13520: That's true.But it was a fun grid to do for me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13524: Nicely varied and challenging,Thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jones @ #13520: Didn't like the Mister Men clue, they've added way too many mr men characters now anything could be a mister man. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13522: As Lewis says, I mean, of course. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13522: Agree, two good categories, one weaker, and one,as you,say, too random really.But please do more! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Lewis @ #13522: One of the categories is too random (6 years, 8 months ago)

Redkite @ #13514: Pretty dire and 'front CRAUL'?! Really? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Alias @ #13518: Gave it 3 stars for each. Not fantastic but not that bad for a lazy sunday! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13516: Hard (6 years, 8 months ago)

MAS @ #13517: A real doozie (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #186: Good one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #2296: Too easy for a medium! (6 years, 8 months ago)

GRS @ #2297: Fun (6 years, 8 months ago)

henty @ #13493: about as niche as albert einstein tweeting about cloud eggs (6 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13513: Pretty good. I couldnt see how the Parrot group connected wiht the other 3? (6 years, 8 months ago)

peterW @ #13478: Tricky but entertaining! (6 years, 8 months ago)

ALEXIS @ #13487: Nice grid. Good fun (6 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #13508: not to tricky, good one (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #3790: The final group are also all university cities (6 years, 8 months ago)

jeff @ #13508: Wouldn't accept appearance in Avengers movies. (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13513: a good grid ,not too hard (6 years, 8 months ago)

IRD @ #13499: I enjoyed this, but share the frustrations of other commenters about typing in the connections - a fun grid though, thank you (6 years, 8 months ago)

IRD @ #13507: Agree with points made by Jezebel and Wiz - tricky enough to be an interesting challenge, with a lot of words that could fit in two or three groups. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toeswest @ #13513: (6 years, 8 months ago)

toeswest @ #13508: Nice (6 years, 8 months ago)

toeswest @ #13505: Thanks, folks! My Rock,Paper,Scissors red herring got the better of me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13513: Not too difficult but some good connections and red herrings or were they just the monkfish? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13512: I agree with you,,, I guess the gridder was looking to find something different. Sadly. I don't think it was a great success, but Interesting enterprise. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13512: Just too contrived for me, I’m sorry to say. I’m not a fan of non-words featuring too heavily in grids, for one thing. But each to their own... (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13512: I got two of the groups but I think the jarring line doesn't really work. Interesting though. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Kiki @ #13488: Couldn't do it (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13507: Very nicely woven. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13508: Easy but good (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13507: Just about completed it. Very good grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Christinaangel @ #13512: Not a fan, especially the name one: too esoteric. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13508: Agree,neat grid, thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13513: Easier than it looks but still a great grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13508: Well thought out grid, really enjoyed it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13512: This was challenging for me. I don't know quite to make of it really.Will await the opinions of others. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #13499: Did the squares ok. My answer Beetles denied . Answe types of beetles Cmon. Same withe other answers ,Pedantic. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13497: Liked this, thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13508: Um presumably because of Gary Glitter - have I missed something? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13508: Um presumably because of Gary Glitter - have I missed something? (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13508: a good grid ,but why glitter is included in gary section (6 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #13487: good one, not too difficult (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13507: Tricky (that means I couldn’t sort it out in time!) but enjoyable. Thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13505: Nice one, thanks. It’s a vote for ‘scissor’ from me, too:) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13507: Nice one, lots of tricky crossovers! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Xx @ #13398: Liked it, but not too difficult. (6 years, 8 months ago)

SouthernDog @ #13498: Decent, but answer matches ruined it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

X @ #13460: Should accept "Gorillas" as an answer (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13505: Enjoyed it, Thankyou! Maybe scissor? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Vicky C @ #13494: Rubbish (6 years, 8 months ago)

Yummy @ #7830: terrible (6 years, 8 months ago)

Yummy @ #13500: I didn't think this was very good. The Moses category was a stretch, and you specifically have to type exactly "welsh islands" for the other category to work. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13505: Here's the corrected version! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13504: SORRY FOLKS! Really screwed this one up. I will resubmit the correct version. (6 years, 8 months ago)

BMill @ #13503: Nice!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13498: Agree with previous comments about beetle! (s) (6 years, 8 months ago)

BMill @ #13502: Brilliant! V.clever connections ! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13487: Fairly easy. 'Non-words' like Unch are usually a giveaway. Fun, though. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13491: Good (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13500: Fun grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #13493: the arse was in my face but I couldn't see it haha (6 years, 8 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13485: Excellent grid, really enjoyed it! (6 years, 8 months ago)

JonBob @ #13498: Nice grid (if easy) but the answer matches need some work. Use roots of words ("beetle" rather than "beetles"). And if you're going to use a song's lyrics, accept that song's title, not just the artist! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13496: Loved this one, thanks. Had no idea that Lotus had a collaboration with Ford! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13495: Thank you on behalf of the 🎾 geeks of the world! That was a lot easier for me than your movie grids:) You have the ‘i’ and the ‘e’ transposed in Ivanisevic, by the way. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13493: Really, Toeswest, that's a bit much. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13494: Oh I did enjoy that, thank you. Apart from the Singing Ringing Tree bringing back memories of the creepiest children’s TV programme ever made... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13493: S**THOLE? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13497: Pleasant grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13498: This was fun to do, nice ideas.thankyou. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13497: I enjoyed this, neat and varied. Thankyou. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13499: Horribly constructed. Capitalize clues and construct answers to avoid 'false incorrects'. e.g. start,fire for the group containing "Doris Day". (6 years, 8 months ago)

Fitz @ #13499: "Beetle" and "We Didn't Start The Fire" both marked incorrect. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13493: One of the lines is a bit cheeky :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

HotHamish @ #13495: Only easy if you know a lot about tennis - although nobody should get zero once the connections are revealed (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13495: A sinister grid! Well, at least half of it ..... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hank R Chief @ #13489: Well I'll be whipped with a pair of silver spurs. Not a chance for me, but a clever grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jess Juan Cornetto @ #13491: Very good stuff, well done. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #13493: Wow- beat me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

LandRover16 @ #13493: A certain world leader has supposed small hands which on occasion have been held by others in a "moment of assistance" (ahem). (6 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13493: #Covfefe (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #13468: Good grid, but should definitely accept trees as well as wood. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Deano @ #13491: Got bitten by a 'horse fly' once very sore...but it was a 'Good Spell' since the last one. Ah! Sorry pockets! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #13483: I got only one row before the grid resolved, but then I kicked myself as I figured out the other three. That's a sign of a good grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #13489: You could swap Iowa (IA) with Maine (MA or IN), and you could swap Ohio (Christopher Columbus) with Wisconsin (CO or IN) or North Dakota (OR). (6 years, 8 months ago)

pockets @ #13484: Too obscure, completely defeated me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

pockets @ #13486: enjoyable (6 years, 8 months ago)

pockets @ #13487: Fun but quite easy (6 years, 8 months ago)

pockets @ #13488: got half of it. Tough but fair (6 years, 8 months ago)

pockets @ #13489: Excellent confuscation. Very difficult (6 years, 8 months ago)

pockets @ #13491: Loose connections: Good spell? Flywheel but horsefly etc (6 years, 8 months ago)

RHCP @ #13490: Loved it. Thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

toeswest @ #13489: Sorry about one of the groups not accepting the simplest answer! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #13481: It should be Bill Sikes. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13479: Too hard for me But ok (6 years, 8 months ago)

Seb @ #13488: Too hard (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13487: Good (6 years, 8 months ago)

Alias @ #13478: Good grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

iain @ #13459: clever crossovers enjoyed it (6 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Senior @ #13326: Oi, my names Kenny Senior! Kennysurn, pfft. Also, accept Kenny as an answer for the other line. Duff grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ray Vaughan @ #13484: ? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ccsmum @ #8877: Formula one Candle Neither worked (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13465: A clever grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13469: Thank you for your kind comments. Re billhooks, I've been feeling a bit uneasy about this, was it cheating to have the "hook" as a separate word, making it sound a bit like a piece of fishing tackle? But Google gives both versions, including "Bill Hooks" for sale through Spear and Jackson, respectable firm of ironmongers. So hopefully this is OK. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13468: Nice (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13475: You beat me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13474: Reading between the lines I bet you can't say you've never seen Star Wars. I haven't even heard of most of these but if I had I reckon I'd have enjoyed this. Well done. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13469: Fun stuff, thank you. Although as I’ve been brushing up my pedantry on another grid...I have a feeling that billhook is all one word? (6 years, 8 months ago)

SirGridAlot @ #12586: Loved this, great effort for a first grid...bravo. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13474: Ah, the pedants revolt...or is it The Pedants’ Revolt? Like Wiz, I was all at sea, but I appreciate clever gridding :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hutch @ #9004: "Cows" was given as an incorrect connection. But isn't this actually more accurate than "Beef" (which doesn't apply to darter's target or minotaur's head) and "Bull" (which doesn't apply to Ian Botham or horseradish sauce)? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Peter @ #13475: Tough (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13474: Very testing! Enjoyed puzzling, but never would have got there. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13474: Yawn (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13474: I agree with Nick wholeheartedly. For us pedants however (Type 4s according to Carol Tuttle (author: "It's Just My Nature")) this IS fun. I'm sure Nick would be a Type 3. :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Alienantfarm @ #13422: someone needs a doctor :D (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13474: And I thought I was a pedant!!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

nick @ #13474: supposed to be a bit of FUN !!!! you need help (6 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13474: Solved it, yay! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13472: Nicely varied! Thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13468: Fun (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13468: Good grid - shame it wouldn't accept ''trees" as opposed to "wood" (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13469: GREAT GRID (6 years, 8 months ago)

SpookyOne @ #13430: Not too difficult. Got the Former Soviet Republics link but didn't know why!? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13463: couldt spell alta anyway pets got me (6 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #11986: What cards ? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #7138: You like inserting words. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #4517: Too obscure - you can't use only four wonders (6 years, 8 months ago)

Dick Emery @ #13428: You are awful (6 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13454: I believe that mozarts full name was Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. As for the 'without a score', most of the movie cast away has no accompanying music (Score) Loot gained from a robbery would be 'the score' so an unsuccessful one ....... 70 = 3 score (20) +10. I assume the other one is a reference o the singer Matthias Goerne, but im not sure why he HAS a score, and everyone else is without. hth (6 years, 8 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13465: although it is lacking in variety and fairly straightforward, this was really enjoyable. Good grid with some good crossovers (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13463: Failed to get it because of the spelling of altar... (6 years, 8 months ago)

JCG @ #13465: That was a good one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jimmy Starbuck @ #4747: Ok, but you need to add more options for "words meaning to want" - I put "synonyms for want" and it said it was wrong. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13463: With a glaring typo, I'm suddenly not trusting any of the other words. :( (6 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #519: Ani ? What bird is that ? (6 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #13463: please alter alter to altar... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13462: But there are some good crossovers, I liked this grid, (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13428: (6 years, 8 months ago)

Toeswest @ #13462: I think this one should be in the 'very easy' category. :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13463: I don't suppose you could go back and alter this? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Trev @ #13463: Same. Altar, not Alter. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13156: You've succeeded in being really obscure. Got all 4 groups, but only identified two of them. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13459: Impressive (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13464: Excellent! I took the innocence and experience bait then with time running out there were just too many possibilities. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Stevo @ #13417: Pretty hard, but enjoyed it. 'Jay' ruled this Brit out a bit (we're allowed to cross roads here: crazy). And I'd probably never have got the moons. Well done! (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13463: Apart from the typo of alter for altar this is a good grid. Thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #13463: Presume you meant altar. (6 years, 8 months ago)

LydiaTSTM @ #13422: Cheered my dull Tuesday up!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Sam @ #13459: Very good. Liked the multiple options. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13462: Good one (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #13460: Nice grid, thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13459: Great grid - good crossovers and once I'd sussed Bond (thanks to ohmss) I solved it. Nice one (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13460: a crossover or two would have helped an otherwise good grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

hugo @ #13373: i won it for us (6 years, 8 months ago)

Henry @ #13456: Very hard! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Henry @ #13459: A tricky grid and only got two right! (6 years, 8 months ago)

My name @ #13430: Eastern European countries does get credit :/ (6 years, 8 months ago)

markB @ #13422: Well that was bloody confusing - The Britney Spears category is stupid even if it is true. However in the creators defense, Chicken Tikka Marsala was an American invention as EJG put (6 years, 8 months ago)

opal @ #13459: Eagleeyes is right however that was a very tricky and cunning game but I loved it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #13460: A lot of names I'd not heard of. Thank you. I think the allowed answers may need some checking. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Sue Smye @ #13459: Good start - my first wall attempted (6 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #13457: Congratulations, took some doing but you've managed to create the worst grid ever. Possibly that will ever be. Bravo (6 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #13422: Sorry, but that was just awful.......rare names? WTF? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #13459: The alliterations you describe are acronyms I believe. (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13419: coulda used a couple more crossovers but good (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13422: probably the most random solution to a group ever! Rare names? And is Chicken Tikka Masala really american? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13422: I can't see how you did that, Simone! Well done. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13422: Or neither? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #13459: Loved the interlinking connections. A very well thought out grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

gordonsalive @ #13457: valium please (6 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew @ #13457: Albeit a rather daft mix of answers, 3 of the categories are actually plausible. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Waggers @ #9276: "Synonyms for pupil / student" also incorrect for the "learning" group? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Waggers @ #13429: Trickier than you'd think! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13450: That figures! (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13458: Very nice to see an easy grid with a shadow group. (6 years, 8 months ago)

The Queen @ #11870: I think" types" of prince is odd too. (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #28: Really good, very challenging! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13454: Yes, I would like that too please! (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13450: And, just googled Rattray Road - purely comes up as a street in Brixton! (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13450: issues with this one... 1) drake is canadian, not american 2) US states - didn't accept first 3 letters of US states and, while they might be the most populated, there are 4 states starting with New (Hampshire, Jersey, Mexico & York). (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13454: Please explain the solutions - Mozart? Without a score? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Confused @ #13450: Can anyone tell me what Rattray Road is? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Disgusted of Milton Keynes @ #13457: The worst! (6 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13456: Thanks for such detailed explanations. Always appreciated :-) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13448: Synonyms are synonymous with each other and any other words of the same meaning. I chose main but deemed wrong! (6 years, 8 months ago)

lcohol Lover @ #13458: Omega, it contains bourbon and whiskey can't legally be called Bourbon unless it is made in America. The American product is Whiskey (Pluralised as Whiskeys) while other countries have Whisky (pluralised as Whiskies) so it is incorrect to call a list containing Bourob 'whiskies' (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13450: Isn't US state abbreviations enough? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Berry @ #11864: ' Australian Racial etc' ? Are you havin a laff? Why not ' Streets near my home or people I went to school with or names of my pets.....' Youve really missed the point of these puzzles. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13458: "Whiskies" incorrect!!!???? Otherwise I enjoyed solving this one. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Berry @ #11870: Rubbish. So which name is 'H ' short for? Hortense? Henrietta? Hal? And ' poultry ' incorrect as a link? If you compile any more grids, think about it before committing yourself. (6 years, 8 months ago)

SailorJerry @ #13428: Ignore the comments, some people think they are too intellectual to be smutty. You made myself (and I'm sure others) smile - amd in the current world we live in can't be a bad thing! Thank you :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

SailorJerry @ #13422: Apart from one odd category it was quite an enjoyable grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13422: I loved it! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13432: I thought as much! (6 years, 8 months ago)

JackDup @ #13432: My apologies! Definitely unintentional! One of my favorite dogs and all that was in my head was raccoon. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13432: Yes, I am sure it was unintentional, but much better to avoid. Otherwise a good grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #13435: Unfortunately there are many legitimate solutions as the 6 presidents are all US mountains as well. That makes 15 possible solutions I think! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #13431: Luckily got 10/10 with some fortunate guesses! Good grid, enjoyed it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13418: Good but too hard for me (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13423: Good but not really hard (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13420: I knew atlatl but had to guess shillelagh. Nice core concept, great execution. Not all grids need to be hard. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Andy G @ #6396: Ridiculous - only Swindon Town supporters might get this. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Amxxy @ #624: Fantastic grid, very hard to solve.. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13401: Yes, this a deliberately obscure grid and if you do know the category, there are even more red herrings. I worry that it might not qualify as general interest. And sadly there's no way to edit the acceptable responses... (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13414: Not convinced that the letter-substitution is fair. Seems obtuse. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13419: Old school cartoonists ftw (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13420: Yes, Atlatl is a real word! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #11820: Good grid. Didn't find the groups as there were so many red herrings. Worked out all the connections though. I particularly liked oon and ear (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #12837: Got the Ian group within about five seconds! Rest of the grid was good too! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #12895: Made the group with the men's names with four seconds to spare but only worked out the link afterwards. Good grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #13358: Didn't accept Rock performers (6 years, 8 months ago)

MS @ #186: Brilliant grid; personally the best one ever. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bart Attack @ #13404: NO. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13412: I agree with my esteemed colleague ejg - for two of these groups I entered literally the exact text given as the explanation, and was still marked as wrong. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13407: Two of these groups - Raven and Celine - are categories I've literally never heard of. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13399: You could be right, Wiz! (6 years, 8 months ago)

illi @ #13403: Thanks for doing the quiz, Waf. Took me a while to work out why Spit wasn't a puppet but hey ho :-)) (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13412: Ok grid, but not accepting correct answers, e.g "distress calls signals", actors (Guinness was english - not hollywood), "station". I gave myself 10! (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13403: what jamesd said - but good grid otherwise. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13403: It's not really on having two identical clues. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13402: You couldn't have waited 87 days? (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13401: I agree with ejg - and had a similar experience with the answer to the group that included Outer Limits. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13371: Shrove Tuesday,Pancake Day! Last day before Lent. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JKetch @ #13371: Shrove? (6 years, 8 months ago)

m @ #258: Need to have better words to recognise the connections - wildlife homes, Saint and synonyms not accepted. (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13401: sorry to moan, but didn't accept 'winds' which all the 'extreme weather events' are. the obscurity of one group made it almost impossible to solve as there were so many potential combinations. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JCG @ #13397: Fast but fun! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13391: British passports were blue, but are now ruby or maroon and MAY POSSIBLY return to blue if/when the UK leaves the EU, it has been suggested so I'm not sure this should be in this group. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #12718: Hard (6 years, 8 months ago)

Standard @ #13395: Hated it. Far too obscure. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #13333: I was convinced there was going to be a group of "Words where you can replace the first letter with a B to create new words!" I had Butch, Bart, Bing, Baisin, Bent, Bonk and Buses. I could have had Bong too - but I'd already grouped that one. Sadly it wasn't to B.... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Danny @ #13372: How is Apostles not acceptable? Good apart from that. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Danny @ #13387: Liked this very much. Satisfying use of same(ish) answer for each one. Not come across this before. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13395: It was indeed a good grid! Thankyou! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Berry @ #12494: Did not accept 'NATO ' for kilo, India etc. This spoils the puzzle (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13395: Enjoyable. (6 years, 8 months ago)

george @ #13395: chamotte stumped me. very good (6 years, 8 months ago)

george @ #13394: did like the neils although I didn't get it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #13339: Disagree that it was easy per se. I was stumped and going round in circles with the "house" connection. Must have tried almost every combination that wasn't right, haha. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #7639: That is OK tho.Orelinde. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Steve h @ #13367: Good but easy (6 years, 8 months ago)

Orelinde @ #7639: Nice, except that "litter" also refers to dogs e.g. litter of puppies, so not just birds. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #13394: Nice crossovers fooled me. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #13380: Very neat. Thank you. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #13367: Good effort (6 years, 8 months ago)

BrianP @ #13370: Needs more crossovers - apart from Copenhagen, everything elase can only go in one category so it's easy to solve even if you don't know the horses. (6 years, 8 months ago)

BrianP @ #13391: Just 4 independent groups. Would be better if there were crossovers. (6 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #13392: really good, not too easy, but not obscure either ! (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13391: depends on the brand of pregnancy test! Some are pink, which works for choking too. (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13386: Really liked the grid, groups, etc. but i put in "words at end of street road names" - think 'address endings' is a bit vague. wouldn't that be a postcode? ;-) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13374: Don't think you can describe the English group as breads but wouldn't accept English cakes. Nor would it accept cereal flours. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13372: Nice grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13371: Liked it a lot thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Statto @ #13303: rejected Volkswagen for some reason? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13383: Love the heavily pregnant women group. Didn’t get it. Wouldn’t have got it if I’d stared at it for 3 hours. But it made me laugh out loud when I saw the connection! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #11650: Enjoyed this. Thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13383: Yep, Good Fun. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DS @ #13383: (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13383: A very fun grid, perhaps slightly let down by the group that included Firelighters. Witty, but a good sight harder than the other groups - I'd rather have seen a one or two of those items swapped for something less abstruse. Anyway, lovely work, Tony. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13377: I'd give you an extra star, if I could, just for the "buzz" group (6 years, 8 months ago)

BagelBoy @ #13311: Not bad coincidentally. (6 years, 8 months ago)

mrsdespard @ #186: nice grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #12432: Nice grid. Good red herrings and I liked the US-UK set especially. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #12833: Didn't work out the pattern. So many other partial groups, like midDAY, birthDAY, good DAY. As well as adding E to the end : bE, starE, dogE, wE, fortE. I just got so distracted by these extra categories that I failed. Good grid! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #2621: (6 years, 8 months ago)

Weetum @ #2621: Nice one. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #11619: Nice topical grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #13350: As stated, 1 is not prime! (6 years, 8 months ago)

JackDup @ #13354: Sorry! Missed the noun/verb connection. Great catch! That's what I get for trying to be tricky with words. :-) (6 years, 8 months ago)

PaulyT @ #13354: Great. Like all the Ms. The quartet with mull in it I think an ok answer is that all four words are both a noun and a verb. But really enjoyed this one. Thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13354: A bit daunting at first sight but worth the effort. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Fairfax @ #13364: requires too much time-specific knowledge - either born before 1960 or a technology historian. (6 years, 8 months ago)

BrianP @ #13367: Piccadilly - two Cs. Otherwise very good. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jeeves @ #13353: Should read 'pronounced'of course. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Fairfax @ #13319: Tough but fair - good tube station red herrings (6 years, 8 months ago)

Brett Orr @ #7042: RUBBISH! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Graham79 @ #13351: Have to say as much as I love intellectual walls, this did raise a smile! (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13332: Questions? Bit tenuous (6 years, 8 months ago)

meee @ #13155: Pastries and prime minister's were accepted when I entered tjose (6 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #12802: Another mega specific grid, useless to anyone who isn't familiar with its premise....which is 99.9% of us i reckon (6 years, 8 months ago)

Peekay @ #12795: Too niche, no crossovers....creating a grid where you need specific knowledge to complete it is useless. Not even a Puzgrid tbf, more like a collection of random points about briefings. Must try harder (6 years, 8 months ago)

4by4 @ #13295: Thanks for your comments - makes the effort worthwhile! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Cheeser @ #13356: I know this might sound picky, but I put Tributaries of the Thames and it wasn't accepted..... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Cheeser @ #13365: Excellent grid, kicking myself for not getting the literary groups! (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13364: No, it really is general interest - everyone aged over 45 in the IT department agreed... (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13352: nice (6 years, 8 months ago)

ejg @ #13353: good grid. Can't think of anyway of pronoucing fore, for or four differently. are you saying fore is pronounced foe? what about forehead, forearm, forelock? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Controforesy @ #13353: For has an "aw" sounding o, whereas Fore has an "o" in many uk accents. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13353: Oh,no! Not one and won and wun too! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Tobler @ #13337: Nice grid finished in 1:31 - cheers! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #12792: What do you mean, Redkite? (6 years, 8 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #13353: I am a little confused with the mispronunciation theme. For is fore is four in proper English whereas the issue should be Won is pronounced "Wun" and One is pronounced "Won" is it not? Also powers of two are square numbers not just evens. (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #20: Accepted "fictional hospitals" (total guess!) for the last one but not "simpsons surnames" for number one??? wtf. (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #18: Nice, with some challenging red herrings! But I feel "adverbs" was a bit too easy. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13346: You're putting together some cracking grids today. The word group was a bit of a stretch this time, but still a smashing job. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13345: Outstanding grid - great crossovers and I spotted at least two shadow groups: 'frame' and 'dog'. Maybe 'chart' too. Fantastic work, commander. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jim Kana @ #13339: Good fun. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13340: And there am I noticing "domolite" and making a dogs dinner out of "simaltaneously". I am sorry. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13340: Hmmm - a few slightly obscure rocks here, for a general interest puzzle. And I think you might have meant 'Dolomite'. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13340: Oh dear....I gave it a good try?do you wish you'd put dolomite too? Or? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Mark @ #13155: did not accept my answer of shavers or PMs. Should have. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Quadraxus @ #13298: Apologies for the obscurity of the grandmother category but I put this down as Fiendish for a reason. Also the set of 2 obvious anagrams is there too and it is meant to be solved in the last two groups as you can try and find anagrams of the rest of the clues. Did you enjoy it otherwise? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #3801: 👍 (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #7120: Scares me I solved this so quickly. Should have accepted “gross words.” (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #7270: Nice, but it didn’t except instruments? Only suggestions would be expand acceptable answers. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jude5 @ #13314: Maybe it’s a coincidence that you’re Bowie, and that I’m a Bowie freak. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13322: Put vowels and letters which sound like words but both were given as incorrect. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #13331: I liked the Error group; it didn't click until the rows resolved, but then I figured it out and kicked myself, which is a sign of a good connection. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Revilo @ #13186: This was amazing, Well done (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #13321: Girl’s names, anniversary. Didn’t take these. Expand your key words accepted. Otherwise fun. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13325: Straightforward but none the worse for that. (6 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13315: Very clever. Well done (6 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13315: Very clever. Well done (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13320: It would have been better to have built the po line keeping the letters in the same positions relative to each other. However the grid has original features and deserves credit for that. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Tbone @ #13322: It didn't accept the word vowel for the category called vowels. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ray Vaughan @ #13325: (6 years, 8 months ago)

Tbone @ #13321: Thunderball is one word, Goldfinger is one word, Goldeneye is one word. I typed gem and anniversary and it didn't accept. Maybe include a list of answers using just part of each word. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ray Vaughan @ #13326: Kennysurn?? Maybe Kenny senior (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13315: Absolutely fantastic grid - wonderful concept, great execution. Full marks, squareeyes (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13319: You've got hand it to them, they've done a terrific refurbishment job at the Dorchester. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13295: A couple of the lines had me dredging the memory. Funny what a lot of stuff we unconsciously store. Very fine grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

LIAM @ #13326: LOVELY GAME (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #13324: Too vague. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Elizabeth Mooney @ #13311: Bag o'shite (6 years, 8 months ago)

. @ #13324: terrible (6 years, 8 months ago)

LIAM @ #13321: THIS WAS ONE OF THE TRICKIEST YET (6 years, 8 months ago)

KLJ @ #13320: The "PO" one is really just words that contain the letters P and O in any position and in any order - not very good. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13288: Loved this one, thank you! Tricky but in a non-Nixon way... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13316: Very nice and nasty. (how did the "Neck" group connect with the rest of the grid tho?) (6 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13288: I'll take that as a compliment, toasty one ... I think (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #13306: Constellations should be an accepted answer. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Spellcheck @ #13311: Almond fits into both the filbert and "cocunut" group. That combined with "opisthenor" had me looking for an entire category of words spelled incorrectly. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #13298: I don't quite get the complaints. Three of the rows were straightforward (though it took me a while to group in the one obscure film character), and the fourth row was obviously a set of anagrams because of the two phrases that didn't mean anything in their own right. (I couldn't solve the two long ones, so I guessed anagrams of Zola novels.) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #13307: The Smurfs... Clean forgot. Cheers all. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13303: Didn't go far enough with my "musical artistes" but a great grid nonetheless. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Redkite @ #12894: ?no idea what this is about (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #17: Why do these ones stay up? So annoying! (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13288: It wasn't only Nixon who was tricky , you do a passable imitation. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Awesomeness @ #4179: Its Five-0 not 50 because that means fifty (duhhhh) Fed is short for federal, i.e. FBI, and therefore not police (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #14: Didn't accept "dwarves" or "synonyms", a bit annoying. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13287: Don't take the criticism to heart. The grid has been rated good on the star system. I don't share your interests so I did very badly but I didn't mark the grid as that would be unfair. (6 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #12: Very easy, but wouldn't accept "British PMs" for the first set, annoying! (6 years, 8 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #13307: Another cracking grid Blues. (6 years, 8 months ago)

paul @ #4210: very poor definitions (6 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #13298: Gates I I understood right away. I didn't get the grandmother one, but I enjoyed the others. It was fun trying different combinations to figure out which Frozen characters went together. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13307: Not too obscure for me . Another great all-round performance in fact. But enough about me. You deserve some of the plaudits. Mind you I only got the Abraham bit through having sat through a Smurf film ( the wrong sort of blues) under the impression it was a supporting feature. Problem was the programme had been changed the day before and they wouldn't refund me. My life and hard times! Thanks again. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13307: I liked it - and a nice shadow group thrown in, always good style. Verging towards being too obscure for a couple of clues, but still a nice grid. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13295: Great grid, thank you. (6 years, 8 months ago)

K @ #13306: Incidentally, Webb, Hubble, Planck and Newton are also all telescopes! While Newton is a type of telescope, all the rest are space telescopes in their own right. Bit ambiguous as to what the answer would be; I ended up answering Telescopes and getting it wrong. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13286: Fun one, thank you. I enjoyed it even though I failed miserably... (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13292: nice one (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13295: a good grid well done (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13295: good one (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13298: Really? Way, way too obscure to be enjoyable. (6 years, 8 months ago)

GavinJ @ #13303: Not too tricky, although I do feel hungry after thinking about Pasty Cline! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Peter @ #8577: I am Legend film was adapted to a film of the same name; confusing! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ridiculous. @ #13287: Having one category about junk food and three about media is way too specific. And that's before actually looking at the categories which are obtuse even if you know the niche areas they're taken from. The anthology series category was ridiculously flawed, with several of them being arguable whether they even fit the category at all. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bart Attack @ #13303: No. (6 years, 8 months ago)

knife @ #13294: Good entertaining stuff (6 years, 8 months ago)

DeMarcus @ #13306: Enjoyable grid with an overall theme too! (6 years, 8 months ago)

DeMarcus @ #13306: Hi, I tried to put 'constant' for the 'constants' answer. And 'space agency' for the space programmes. (6 years, 8 months ago)

SDC @ #13297: Rubbish, all mixed up, doesn't make sense, AVOID!!! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Tinware @ #13298: I think there'll be little chance of that. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JeSuis @ #13294: Enjoyed it, cheers! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #13291: Tough.............. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #13294: Fun grid, very enjoyable. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hank Erafter @ #13296: Well constructed. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #13295: Wonderful stuff! (6 years, 8 months ago)

WhyBother @ #13298: zomg your so clever you can make a grid that wastes everyones time for three minutes how can i be clever like u when i grow up???? (6 years, 8 months ago)

R @ #13297: All the answers are mixed up, and the grid is terrible in general. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Confused @ #13297: I can't work out if this is deliberately terrible but either way creator is kind of an idiot. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Bmd34 @ #8450: Sleuths not acceptable for female detectives? (6 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13295: Nicely done. Thank you (6 years, 8 months ago)

Come On @ #13287: *Bonnibell - If you are referencing something so obscure even you don't know how to spell it maybe that is an indication you shouldn't be using it. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #8497: Wal-nut (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13294: We often see comments complaining about rejected correct answers for groups. Here, I was impressed that it accepted a different turn of phrase for the group with Church in it. Nice one! (6 years, 8 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13292: The days made this a little too easy for me... but then I always wanted to be Wednesday... (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13283: Brilliant. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Andy P @ #13290: I liked it, but it didn't accept "categories of literature" for the books one, so a few more acceptable terms would have been nice :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13291: Needing california for the point seems a little overly harsh. So many crossovers, it's a bit a matter of luck. I identified all the categories, but just couldn't get the right combinations in time. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13286: George W Bush had 2 daughters, Barbara and Jenna (6 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #13255: Good wall, but I was a bit disappointed that "cricket deliveries" wasn't accepted for the "bowling techniques" one. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12993: Excellent grid. One of the best I've seen with numerous crossover answers and the Family Guy red herring. (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13287: Huh? Totally arcane to me. I may be thick, but one explanation confused me even more than the solution! Some detailed specialist knowledge required on this one. (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13283: Excellent... as always. Love the diversity of categories and crossovers that you put in your grids. And fab explanations. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hmm @ #13285: Not unique, can swap Karen and Patrick (Plus I'm sure there are others given how many could fit in the Christopher category) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Judy @ #10078: Fun spin. (6 years, 8 months ago)

poopbutt @ #3496: Those are homophones - not homonyms. (6 years, 8 months ago)

kittymcg @ #13286: Wasn't Barbara the daughter-in-law...? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #13283: Sorry about the spelling of Sicily... Altitude, beer, English as a second language and using a Welsh spell checker. (6 years, 8 months ago)

paulayres @ #13283: Thankyou - very enjoyable. "Sicily" not "Scicily" though... (6 years, 8 months ago)

Derrick @ #13270: Matt, Luna was a Soviet mission, not NASA. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Cheeser @ #13270: Agree with EJG, didn't accept scooby doo characters, and also would accept "ish". Splitting hairs maybe but makes it a bit more user friendly. (6 years, 8 months ago)

gridaddict @ #13259: Nice grid. Thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #13198: Duel is not a roller coaster so roller coasters is incorrect. Also as noted by Rickroll Shakespeare Characters is not specific enough to be correct. The key word for the doctors is Marvel not just generic superhero villain. Didn't think to put doctor as there are four so only put doctors. Maybe Aardvark needs to be more specific with the answers ;) (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #13233: I'm all for good satire...I must take another look. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13256: I liked this one. Vey clever. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Jim @ #13233: The more I think about this grid, the more I appreciate it. As JamesD explained, it's a well-crafted satire with a specific narrator's voice. The three minutes I spent gamely trying to match "things that have beards" or "things in the sky" adds to the experience; it's not too much time to invest in a novel joke, as long as this sort of whimsy remains a one-off. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13251: Sadly like your namesake in the Walter de la Mare poem The Listeners when you came knocking you found no one home. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #13239: Not enough variety in types of clues combined with some weirdly obscure references and one random dirty joke make this far from my favourite grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #13226: I take your point about the cities but I'm pretty sure the reason at least one of them is a city is because it has a cathedral. ... Anyway, there is a hidden group, the four presidents of the USA that were assassinated in office. Cheers Guys. (6 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #13240: Very enjoyable and , in my case, educational. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Only Me @ #13248: Enjoyable, thanks. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #13245: Apologies for "standing" being accepted for the containers group. I don't know why that is happening. Can't agree that "tun" is obscure. It is quite a common term in many industries. Cannot accept soup for the stew dishes. Neither cassoulet or ragout can ever be classed as soups. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Ben @ #13222: I can't believe you described Ben Folds Five as a one hit wonder ! They're still going - I've been to see them twice ;-) Awesome band. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13249: I'm sure I've seen a few of your grids before that were so hard they were effectively impossible, HotHamish. It's nice to see some easier ones and I've liked your last few, although perhaps you've swung back too far the other way. One little point: this one seems to have a group that doesn't link to any of the rest, which is a bit of a missed opportunity. In any case, great work and keep it up! (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13248: an nice grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

Awesomeness @ #9196: Flushed away not pixar Desert not accepted answer for question with desert as answer! Also, night not accepted for nights question even though its fright night and late night (6 years, 8 months ago)

Myname @ #13236: Fun one! Thanks :) (6 years, 8 months ago)

EJG @ #13245: good one. Tun is not obscure... e.g. pubs called the 3 Tuns - it's a barrel size. and, to be fair, the only soup in there is bouillabaise. (6 years, 8 months ago)

anthony @ #13226: a good grid (6 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #12309: Minus 7 plus 35? Try again? And it's not the only mistake as has been noticed. I like to be good natured but maths grids need to have the maths correct. (6 years, 8 months ago)

Xx @ #12312: What??? (6 years, 8 months ago)

Xx @ #12309: Sorry, not a great grid as all you have to do is work them out. Too easy. Also it should be 200 minus 72 (not 62) (6 years, 8 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13243: Really challenging and convoluted! Thanks (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #12223: (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #12222: EPITHELIAL is too obscure. CONTAIN DNA is too specific and obscure. "Cell parts" should suffice. MEMBRANE is a category, therefore cannot be an answer. This category was also too obscure. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #12221: Descriptors are unnecessary. EQUAL should be an acceptable answer. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #15132: Blank puzzle. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10742: CHIMNEY POT and PLANT POT are a bit obscure. HENDL and BREZEL and Oktoberfest in general is obscure. The correct spelling is CANTELOUPE. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10741: Duplicate puzzle. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10740: Far too difficult/obscure. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10739: BLOOM Gin is too obscure, at least in the US. Romantic gifts... meh. No one cares about protected status. Nonsense category. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10738: Cockney rhyming? Bad phonetics, obscure references. Pass. "Animated films" should suffice. Not sure why it didn't. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10737: TRACY - Far too many obscure names. DICK TRACY not an answer? RECORD LABEL - Saturday crossword difficulty COME DANCING? What kind of a dance is that? Don't play with phonetics on a text-based game. TUNER sounds nothing like TUNA. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10736: "Fingers" ??? "Liberal Party" is a party of the UK. Liberal is an adjective in the US. You mean to say UK POLITICAL PARTIES "New Balance" is not a common phrase. Neither is "New Man." (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10734: Far too specific, not enjoyable. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #10733: LITERARY DEVICES for "poet techniques." Also consider POETRY or POEM instead of "poet." I entered PAIN for the "pain" category and it said it was incorrect. "Sensory images" is too general. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #101: How do we report puzzles? (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #11123: "Adjectives" is too general when the other category is "Negative Adjectives." "Tosser" is a noun. Clouds are not related to astronomy. "Starship" is a proper noun and therefore it would be more proper to say "Words that CAN end with -ship." (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #13245: "Standing" is an accepted answer for the containers group. "Tun" is too obscure. "Soup" should be accepted for the Stew Dishes. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #2297: Rasp is an obscure tool. Too many crossovers for a medium difficulty. (6 years, 8 months ago)

DT Suzuki @ #650: Super difficult. NY Times Saturday level difficult. (6 years, 8 months ago)

JamesD @ #13233: I took this as a commentary on the many grids posted here that are effectively impossible - you spend three minutes racking your brain, and then when the connections are revealed they're something like "anagrams of West Ham full backs from the 1980s". I'm talking about answers that rely on convoluted links rooted in an extremely specific area of knowledge that the compiler must know will be shared with a very small proportion of users. In a second line, Bringiton takes aim wonderfully at the grids that leave you tearing your hair out because they're just plain wrong. An option is replaced with a similar word, or the answer given is just not correct. What I feel makes this really charming satire is the execution. The wonderful group "All things that I've seen in real life" not only lampoons the connections based on the setter's personal knowledge, but also paints a great picture of the childlike character who is being portrayed: proud of having seen everything from Concorde to a lizard. Rolf Harris is a great addition there, but Breasts puts the icing on the cake of this imaginary pre-teen showoff. That's then carried on with the even more personal and humorously scatalogical "things I've pooed in", before moving on to aim some blows at grids with poor fact checking. The Beatles group cleverly picks up on about the most obvious foursome possible, but robs you of the point on connections by claiming they're members of One Direction; and then we get the surrealist joke of "Things that don't exist" - including the moon and owls. This sort of subversive comedy only works when played straight, and I feel Bringiton has done very well. The commentary on how some grids can be annoying is presented well, but also laid over the creation of a truly funny character in the supposed grid compiler. I suspect Bringiton may be an alter ego of a more regular name posting here, though that's pure conjecture. (6 years, 8 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13198: Wouldn't take doctor without 's'. I agree it shouldn't take Shakespeare character, that's far too general. Accepting the name of the play should suffice. though. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13197: Fun one, thank you. I resisted the temptation to shoehorn Jake the Peg into the ecclesiastical line... (6 years, 9 months ago)

themostmediocreclassiveeverhad @ #13199: this was a great quiz, the class was so engaged! THEY ARE THE BEST!!!111!!! 11/10 WOULD RECOMMEND. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT GEOGRAPHY. this "test" has (6 years, 9 months ago)

Aardvark @ #13198: Needs to be less strict on what to accept. Got them all but didn't accept "superhero villain doctor" or "Rollercoaster" or "Shakespeare Character" (6 years, 9 months ago)

Swalker @ #13197: Red 5 checking in (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dimmer @ #13196: Nice grid for my first one to try. I put ball and it marked correct for me... (6 years, 9 months ago)

Kit G. @ #13195: No problems at all-a good grid...it seems to be the reviewer rather than the grid that is inaccurate! (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13181: Wasnt sure if it was big cats or operating system... also, I didn't accept operating system on other group. thought typing just OS was a bit risky! (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13195: good one - missed 'pen' (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13198: tough one! got 2 categories. perhaps should accept roller coasters? (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13196: Good grid.. shame that it marked by answer 'ball' incorrect (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13197: Good knowledge! Better than mine! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13195: I agree, a good grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

gridaddict @ #13195: Sorry Thomas but i didn't spot any mistakes at all. It was a pretty straightforward and enjoyable grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13170: Paco, the grid setter is not saying that they are MODERN authors, they are MODERNIST authors, in other words recognized as being part of the modernist movement, breaking conventions that were well established in the late 19th C and early 20th C (6 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13181: didn't accept 'Android Operating Systems' (6 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13192: *Preceded by Cock (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #13193: Very good. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Me Too @ #13194: Nope (6 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #13192: How hard is it to check a grid before posting it? (6 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas @ #13195: Very inaccurate, lots of mistakes. This grid was not ready to post. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Michael @ #8991: Took some getting but full marks for me (6 years, 9 months ago)

Michael L @ #9009: Very good well hidden links not a clue about triumph car models though (6 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13183: Bit harsh not accepting Doctor but a good grid even if the whisky and whiskey are mixed. (6 years, 9 months ago)

marinerdean @ #13192: Spelling errors, sorry. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13192: Erill? I liked the sure group (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13194: Yep. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13175: Enjoyed it. 'Whey face' a new one on me. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Andym @ #13026: Good work. Enjoyed the groups (6 years, 9 months ago)

NK @ #12650: Good grid - very enjoyable. Thank you! (6 years, 9 months ago)

RickRoll @ #13188: Erm> (6 years, 9 months ago)

Michael @ #13158: Good grid although very easy for me. I am sure A is a vowel though (6 years, 9 months ago)

Michael @ #13175: Good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jemima @ #13173: far too niche/specific (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #13181: It seems a little unfair to disallow answers based on groups of big cats or confectionery. Those are entirely legitimate links between the members of the corresponding groups. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Orelinde @ #573: Pleasing :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #3964: wouldn't accept synonyms for ghost! And it's Oliver! not Oliver Twist (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12930: One of the better grids I've done, very good! (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #3997: capitals of nations 'inside' other countries? Aruba is not INSIDE the Netherlands, it is a sovereign state, Greenland is an autonomous territory of Denmark, Taiwan is an island nation east of China.. Otherwise good except it wouldn't accept home nations in their native language. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sadie @ #13179: (6 years, 9 months ago)

Devvie @ #13175: Challenging ? The Red herring was sticking out like a sore baked item. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sonia Shoes @ #13173: Beyond my intellect and knowledge. (6 years, 9 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #13175: Very good grid. Solvable and challenging. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Blizz @ #184: One-word film titles should be acceptable (6 years, 9 months ago)

Will @ #13177: Doesn't allow Avengers as an answer (6 years, 9 months ago)

S.Spiro @ #13084: Lots of crossovers, loved it! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Heidi B-G @ #13136: (6 years, 9 months ago)

dre @ #13165: Paco, obviously your knowledge isn't general enough... (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #13175: a GOOD GRID (6 years, 9 months ago)

pockets @ #12523: The best I've seen on here. Agree very elegant (6 years, 9 months ago)

Lou @ #184: Cartoon should be an acceptable answer (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13171: Just don't get the friend group. Piano group is tenuous at best, and 'places in spanish' doesn't really fit in to the group places in spanish. Hmm. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dr Neil @ #13173: Good diverse set of answers. Sopwith! Too heavenly! And they say, Nigel Carter, that the age of romance is dead. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13171: A littl harsh there, paco, although I did find the links a little obscure and unrealistic for people to get, besides the homie group. I stumbled on the casa group entirely by chance, but didn’t know why and the other two meant nothing to me even when the wall solved itself (6 years, 9 months ago)

jenny @ #184: Good except Hat and Dog are arguably iterchangeable... (6 years, 9 months ago)

Paco @ #13165: Who would normally know street names for drugs. I don't think this is 'general knowledge'. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Paco @ #13170: modernist?? How modern? (6 years, 9 months ago)

Paco @ #13171: Probably the worst grid I have come across. There is a difference between the letter 'n' and ñ in Spanish, so that lot is nonsense. By 'bruh do you mean bro?? Back to school numpty. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13171: Imaginative attempt! (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13171: Some parts don't quite come off but I love the quirkiness and enjoyed having a go. Thanks for the explanations without which I would have been mystified. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #76: Leek is in Staffordshire (6 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #13157: (6 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #13044: Good Grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #13158: Nice variety (6 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #13137: Thanks for the Grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #13053: Good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Smith @ #13163: A good grid. The red herrings keep things interesting without being unsolvable. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13157: Good one. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Orelinde @ #13151: I selected Verb, Conjunction, Article and Object but did not recognise? (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #13158: a good grid , without the vowels (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13161: Agree with you ,toast!Belated happy new year! (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13161: I don't think some of this criticism is fair. It certainly isn't a general knowledge- based grid but then nor is one based on Pokémon or a dozen other subjects which appear from time to time, and at least if you are not comfortable with numbers you can get out in a few seconds rather than puzzle for three minutes to find you had 0% chance. (6 years, 9 months ago)

defender @ #13165: not your average user on here, refreshing (6 years, 9 months ago)

Will @ #13144: borrowed words not accepted and the l isn't silent (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13161: To be fair, there are other similar grids. (6 years, 9 months ago)

illi @ #13161: Not exactly in keeping with the game. I say 'not exactly' - I mean it's utter bollocks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Librarian @ #13139: Thanks all! :-) (6 years, 9 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #13158: I could have sworn A was a vowel (perhaps not in the case of Greek Gods) (6 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #13147: Nice stuff. Have to be honest and say it stumped me, but I don't mind if the grid is as entertaining as this. (6 years, 9 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #13161: This is a "How clever am I" question!.. and is total pants (6 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #13154: Nice one (6 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #13152: Very pleasing. Thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Maeve @ #13160: Hang on- it’s wood GREEN not wood street. Wood street is an overground station. Get yer facts right! And don’t waste my time! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Loulou @ #2723: Nice easy grid - well put together (although Choc Bar is “blue riband” not ribbon although apparently most people think it’s the latter!) (6 years, 9 months ago)

kevin @ #13071: if green can be added to each word why is "green" not accepted as the answer? (6 years, 9 months ago)

kieranmaurer @ #566: so much fun, played 9 times in a row (6 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13155: Cakes or cookies? Former not accepted. (6 years, 9 months ago)

JeSuis @ #13152: Good one, enjoyed it! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Bunfight @ #13158: Easy one to get you started (6 years, 9 months ago)

Loulou @ #8387: Has it all - sex, drugs, rock n roll! Great grid, I enjoyed. (6 years, 9 months ago)

warden @ #13133: very tough. Learned a few thing though! (6 years, 9 months ago)

HotHamish @ #5160: Good grid, but if you don't know Arctic Monkey songs this is close to difficult (6 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #1396: never heard of a full bed - just me, I suppose (6 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #2296: tricky (6 years, 9 months ago)

HotHamish @ #5160: If you don't know Arctic Monkey songs this is close to difficult (6 years, 9 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13161: JamesD, I only wish one could upvote comments on this, because that is an inspired remark (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #13161: Too easy, should have had some red herrings. And correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't pi include all sequences of digits? (6 years, 9 months ago)

LS @ #13160: Nice puzzle, although the parts of the piano are slightly ambiguous, as a sharp is a type of key. As Curious cat said, all the "saw" words should have "saw" ONLY before or ONLY after. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Redkite @ #4880: Reasons for grouping defined by the group content are weak (6 years, 9 months ago)

Redkite @ #4890: A bit of a mess (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13160: A bit far to have a group where the additional bit of the word can either go before or after the word (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13161: Almost impossible (6 years, 9 months ago)

Brucee @ #13157: Otherwise I liked it though (6 years, 9 months ago)

Brucee @ #13157: Northern territory is not a state, it's a territory. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jacob @ #13160: I feel dumb (6 years, 9 months ago)

Pineapple @ #13160: Some of these can be related but not correct (6 years, 9 months ago)

paul @ #13158: a bit too easy for me (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #13158: Really disappointed that the connections don't allow the right answer, with the vowels missing. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13158: Nice concept but needed a red herring or two! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #12905: Gave me the wind (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13158: Did I see a sneaky A in there? Fun easy grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gavooo @ #13158: Done in about 3 seconds. A tad easy. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13145: The BB line is three quarters of one of the lines in a grid I set a while back ( 8199) but the other way round if that makes sense. So at least I think it's great! (6 years, 9 months ago)

NJ @ #10853: A bit niche (6 years, 9 months ago)

NJ @ #10874: Really good - thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Loulou @ #9687: Love it! Good crossovers (6 years, 9 months ago)

NJ @ #11109: Excellent grid! Thank you (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11221: Great grid. Although Australasia is no commonly known as Oceania. But really good connections. Thanks! (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11277: Good grid! Not too hard - thank you! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #13152: Yabba Dabba Doodle eh? (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11327: Agree with bonehead. Ridiculous! (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13147: Too tough for me ! Only one line and that was at the time limit. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13154: The Dane line caught me out.. Good one. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13152: Nice one and as ever with tasteful explanations. Ta muchly. (6 years, 9 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13154: Sorry, I guess "Great Northern" was a bit obscure... it's one of the Swallows and Amazons books. Anyhow thanks for the feedback! (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #12936: good grid... didn't think I'd get it at first but had a lightbulb moment. Agree Riyadh and Muscat are middle-eastern... Kabul & Islamabad = Asian but as asian accepted, no quibble! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Orelinde @ #13154: Great Northern what? Like the female nom de plumes! (6 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #13151: nice one, not too difficult (6 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #13147: Nicely served up E.L. (6 years, 9 months ago)

PKaye @ #13147: Garlic bread! Garlic bread! It's the future. I've tasted it. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #12951: good one. missed the PMs backwards and went for words backwards. hey ho (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #12960: wouldn't accept ny sky scrapers and pluto isn't a planet, so I dismissed it from that group. Didn't think Newcastle was coastal, could be wrong. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Reet @ #13150: It's all greek to me! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Reet @ #13150: its all greek to me! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #13145: Good grid, well thought out. Some of the solutions could have been more comprehensive. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sonia Shoes @ #13142: Good gridding, fairly easy, but great fun. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Will @ #13125: Too easy (6 years, 9 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #13128: Sorry but dog group very weak. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Me Too @ #13139: Aye. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Berry @ #13083: What is the point of ' understand ' being the only acceptable link in this line? And the ' fruit anagrams' ? Far too obscure and smacks of someone attempting to be clever for its own sake. Very poor. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13139: Yep. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13137: Yep. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #10166: Great grid, thanks. And equally entertaining explanations... (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dodd @ #13137: Erm, too easy and no tricks at all. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13135: Ditto. The Ace group was very well disguised (6 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #13137: Great puzzle!!! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #13126: Very well put together. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sue. S. Canal @ #13127: Very enjoyable. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Ann Aconda @ #13129: Fun and clever. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Orelinde @ #13117: The homophone idea is clever but Purr-sill is not the way to say Purr-cell, nor is "Back" anything like "Baach". (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13078: good grid but should accept 'terms for where people come from' (6 years, 9 months ago)

R&a @ #6833: Good puzzle, but a bit annoyed it wouldn't accept 'relatives' for the family members one (6 years, 9 months ago)

defender @ #13117: I think some people need to understand that people pronounce things differently... (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13086: agree - footwear should be accepted. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13088: good one! (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13090: Didn't enjoy this one... partly because Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti are spelt thus and homophones a step too far? the -er group seems pretty tenuous too. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Bart Attack @ #9164: Nothing on Mixu. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Bart Attack @ #9168: Difficult, but good :-) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Bart Attack @ #9163: Legend (6 years, 9 months ago)

Chick N Shack @ #13135: Tough, but good. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P is a Legend @ #9214: Also good. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P is a Legend @ #10166: Good. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Timwi @ #11663: In my aimless google search for “Monsplode”, I chanced upon this charming wall of jumbled-up modules only to find that the answers elude me! I am impressed with the level of professionalism and rigor in the design of this puzzle. Kudos! (6 years, 9 months ago)

james @ #7062: Nice grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Andy P @ #13037: That was a lot of fun, something a bit different. Very well done. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13104: nice one (6 years, 9 months ago)

Pap @ #1528: Didn’t accept im...... (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13110: Blimey! Only ever heard of Mother of God... in that group. I guess Hercules' labour and the Pirates of... groups OK but incredibly obscure. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #13117: Persil? Purr-CELL is how it's pronounced... Back-Bach... even Bark is pushing it slightly. Would've though Bait Ho Fen would've been better, but I'm a pedant. (6 years, 9 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13124: Many thanks, toast (6 years, 9 months ago)

Justin Thyme @ #13132: Very enjoyable. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13132: 13131 and 13132 are identical (6 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13131: 13131 and 13132 are identical (6 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #12880: We like you Grace (6 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #13129: Smashing! Good mix and very tricky. I doff my hat. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13129: Up to your usual standards :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #13132: Nice & straightforward (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13117: Quite interested in where you are from! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gridaddict @ #13117: Must be an accent thing. Where I'm from Back sounds right. Bark really doesn't. 😁 (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13124: Good one thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #13129: Excellent grid with full explanations. Well done. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Archie @ #13104: Singular word song titles very obscure and overly ambiguous (6 years, 9 months ago)

squareeyes @ #13129: The reason I sorted this one in less than 1 min is because I've been working on one with H***marks too, you swine! However, very good (6 years, 9 months ago)

Peter Cook @ #13119: I always enjoy your grids. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #13127: (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wanda Doff @ #13122: Good stuff. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dr Neil @ #13105: Thanks everyone for your feedback. Sorry about the lack of correct options, Jim, I’m still getting the hang of that. When people point it out it really helps though :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dr Neil @ #13111: Meh: I could be wrong here. But as far as I know, “Draw 4” isn’t a song. And the song I referred to was “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz-2-Men, so it’s just the singular. Curious Cat: Thanks! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Kit G. @ #12138: Very good! (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11870: Well played, sir (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11895: Excellent grid - many thanks. One small thing - not convinced that Papua New Guinea is an island - it shares a border with Indonesia. (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11903: Didn't accept synonyms - disappointing. Trial should also be accepted. Eggs also don't necessarily come in boxes of 12! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #491: Good fun but very specialist. Needed the real answers in the solution. Lazy. (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11911: Good grid but a number of issues. Lager should be accepted, not just beer. Fruit should be accepted, not just apple and the black ball is worth seven points in snooker, not eight. Needs refining. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Boop @ #10764: What poppycock! (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11919: Really good grid. Many thanks (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13118: Yep. (6 years, 9 months ago)

knife @ #13118: Good mix; everything tricky but guessable (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11976: Also koalas are marsupials, not bears! (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #11976: Why is collective nouns not accepted?!?! Quite clearly correct! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gridaddict @ #13117: Why Bark? (6 years, 9 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #13117: Some nice ideas, but surely it should be bark, rather than back? (6 years, 9 months ago)

N @ #12068: Excellent grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #12936: I enjoyed this grid. Like Wiz, I wouldn't refer to any of these as Middle Eastern except Riyadh, but since it accepted "Asian capitals" too, I'm content. I thought the Scottish Gaelic was fair game because the theme can be deduced from any two in that row (or from one in that row plus the English red herring), so there's no need to know all four.

E.L. Wisty @ #13053: Another great grid Blues. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #13063: I enjoyed it; not too difficult and well constructed. Can't see what difference airmen makes from airman. (6 years, 9 months ago)

HatedIt @ #13063: Weak, weak, weak. Why AirmEn? The NATO group is poor because there's no consistency to it. "Related to flowers"? If you're going to try to make it difficult, at least make it fair. (6 years, 9 months ago)

DDDD @ #13024: Good Grid. Was sure 'Arabian' was a connection. Gulf, Night, Spring. (6 years, 9 months ago)

J.Cloth @ #13017: Good grid-thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #13021: Lovely stuff. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #13024: Good grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

N.Velope @ #13025: Fine grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Matty Mungbean @ #13021: Great Grid Everything worked for me fine, I used musicals as there is more than 1 (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mrshj @ #13021: Harry not acccepted and the sports one wasn't defined. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13025: Very enjoyable, thanks. Nice crossovers:) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #13021: Well done Big Debs! a good effort! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #13008: very good fun! well done! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #12918: Wonderfully original format! The concluding row was tough for this American; I guessed "hotel chains" based on the "+ Leo" one. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #13012: Equestrian should definitely have been included Group 4 solution words. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #13024: Nice grid! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #13012: Should accept equestrian terms as well as horse riding and not sure that the force is with you. (6 years, 9 months ago)

KloppityKlopp @ #13003: I’m with the Cat on this one. As someone who has taught British English to more non-native speakers than I care to remember, I concur that the current convention is for the ‘th’ to be silent in the word ‘asthma’. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13003: Oh no,I don't think so! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13003: The th is silent in asthma (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12809: Excellent grid. Clever crossovers between groups. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gridaddict @ #13024: A toughy but a goody!! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Matty @ #13021: got all correct but reasons not accepted despite being correct.... need to amend the acceptable words (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #13016: i put navity charactors but got wrong (6 years, 9 months ago)

ejg @ #43: thought collective noun for geese was gaggle or skein (if in flight) (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #13023: This holiday grid should get the audience singing! (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #13017: merry christmas to you a good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #13015: Jez - there are still plenty of more obscure musical connections to go around. I'm sure you'll slip in some diabolical quartet over the holidays. :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

charles @ #13021: second row did not accept 'musical' (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gridaddict @ #13017: A Merry Christmas Grid! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gridaddict @ #13021: First row did not accept Harry as an answer when that is the answer. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Courtney Catfish @ #13015: Wow- that was tough. Very well constructed. (6 years, 9 months ago)

ejg @ #13011: Good grid but didn't accept either Girls aloud or Old testament women (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #13015: Nice one, thanks! Got the musical connections because I’d been playing around with exactly those links myself...back to the drawing board :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

romeo @ #12440: Loved it - completely foxed me! Like John, I knew the categories but unable to sort them in time! Well done :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #13012: Good stuff-had me fooled. (6 years, 9 months ago)

ConfusedBloke @ #13003: Very nice grid with some good overlaps and red herrings, but... Draft or draught? Where is the silent letter in asthma? When you have a group of synonyms, accept synonym(s) as an answer. Don't make me try to guess which of many other possible synonyms you have used as a common definition. (6 years, 9 months ago)

L @ #13011: Old Testament women should have been an acceptable answer and more accurate (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13012: Good work. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #13012: Good work. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13007: Tough, and some tenuous links (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13012: Quite easy, but fun nonetheless! (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #13012: An extremely hard grid, but a great one. "Reinforce" is a classy red herring, with all the riding paraphernalia in there, and I was fooled by the shadow group of lines: zipline, whip line, fishing line, poetic line, and so on. Great work! (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #13008: a good grid ,fun (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gridaddict @ #13002: Great. River connection hard. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Roman @ #13007: This is not a general interest puzzle. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Phil Herup @ #13005: Oh dear...I failed miserably-need specialist knowledge. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Heather @ #12979: JamesD I find you a bit much. (6 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12978: also '5' is not accepted as correct. Not that it matters too much, nobody is keeping score, you will be pleased to know I awarded myself the point anyway! (I could feel your concern) (6 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #13005: Actually only Real Madrid, out of those, has won the 'champions league' at least 3 times. The others won the 'European Cup' multiple times, it was called the champions league until 1992, normally I wouldn't make this point but as the connection wont accept 'multiple European cup winners' I felt it was worth pointing out the distinction. (6 years, 9 months ago)

YourFriend @ #13004: A pleasant grid, and not too hard. One thing: try to be more lenient with the free answers. The quadratic/scatter/bar/line should accept answers like 'plot' and 'chart'. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Louise @ #12983: Fiendish! Really well done (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Fishall @ #13002: Nice stuff, well done. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #13004: Interesting and fun. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sue. S. Canal @ #13003: A few minor hitches, but a very good grid indeed. (6 years, 9 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #12979: Must brush up on my Shakespeare! (6 years, 9 months ago)

john @ #13004: Great (6 years, 9 months ago)

john @ #13004: Great! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #13003: I will get a grid on here without a typo eventually - I have even written draught on my notes, but typed draft in my haste. Apologies all. (6 years, 9 months ago)

bonehead @ #13003: silent letter in asthma? what is draftier? (6 years, 9 months ago)

QWERTY333 @ #11971: stupid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Boodles_____ @ #11971: Great, especially for those who like physics. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #13003: Liked this,but ...draft? Or draught? (6 years, 9 months ago)

CGWills @ #13002: Simple but very effective grid. Nice one Mikelou. (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12989: a good fun grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #12983: Didn't accept Roman names (6 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #12975: Didn't accept knives (6 years, 9 months ago)

Big Debs @ #12978: h not a vowel (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sonia Shoes @ #12993: Very smart grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #12810: brachycephallic? gulp! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #12989: I put precious stones and although it said "incorrect" I gave myself the points!! Nice, easy grid:-) (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #12905: Weather! Really?? Doesn't accept types of wind, or winds. Did accept insects and comics for me (6 years, 9 months ago)

jim @ #3696: fun but too easy (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #12978: Channel 5 is a TV channel in UK. Otherwise it would be Chanel No. or Chanel Number (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12978: I guess Utah alternates vowel and consonant... a fun grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12989: Good Fun, and an easy one to start the morning. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mikelou @ #12978: It's Chanel, not channel (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #12817: "Give back word"? I don't get it; how do you give back a word? (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12457: Your misspelling (chuckle) and grace had me searching for brothers! Even if the spelling had been corrected I would wasn’t getting that group! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12983: Top grid as always (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12992: Grid not grow. Damn autocorrect. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12992: The people of Rugby will be up in arms when they play this grow! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mrshj @ #12457: Didn't accept USSR or grad. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Pam @ #12720: Nice (6 years, 9 months ago)

Ruth Less @ #12972: Good grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #12989: Yep (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jim Karner @ #12983: Very well constructed. First rate gridding! (6 years, 9 months ago)

aaa @ #7852: We had "house" for the old woman group - house fly, house cat (one that is kept inside), bird house and house spider. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12979: Nice work. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Eris @ #12979: Very clever! I enjoyed the connections. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Val Crow @ #12989: Very good grid;I enjoyed it. (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12989: a good fun grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #12979: Obvious when you see the complete lines; until then very hard to see (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12983: Enjoyed this, thank you. I like it when I learn something new, in this case the Dacia reference :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Tbone @ #12979: Very fun grid. Easy to spot other links once you have one, but I like how random the things seem in each group e.g. don't literally mean the same as the link. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Tbone @ #12978: Disappointed some of the answers don't make sense e.g. H isn't a vowel. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #12979: Very good, took me a while but got there (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12978: a good grid, (6 years, 9 months ago)

Ben Feeka @ #12978: A few problems here, but enjoyable. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #12979: Good fun. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #11843: Too good at this! good grid though! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #12225: Too easy! Sorry! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12978: Don’t think they are in the wrong groups, nellington, as Omaha is a city in Nebraska not a state. Small mistake but didn’t affect my enjoyment of this grid - I got the states group first but obviously didn’t get the stated connection!! I could see the channel group but couldn’t get the right combination and I couldn’t see past Ellen Page for Juno!! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Nellington @ #12979: Very nice grid! (6 years, 9 months ago)

BonnyJarlow @ #12975: Most enjoyable. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #12979: Very nice. Thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

sam @ #12975: excellent (6 years, 9 months ago)

sam @ #12979: good fun (6 years, 9 months ago)

Only Me @ #12975: Enjoyable, and do-able, thanks (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12979: Great grId (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12979: Very nice grid indeed. For your next, think about mixing the categories up a little, with maybe a word category, something more general knowledge based, that sort of thing. These categories are all very much in the same genre or style. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Shona @ #12611: Jon Snow isn't a Stark Child...........so Ghost doesn't belong. Definitely not a Stark if you're up to date....... King In the North!!! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #12978: Utah does not end in a vowel (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12978: They aren't right,that's for sure.Other groups are fine. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Nellington @ #12978: Utah and Omaha are in the wrong groups. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gabriel @ #5603: Nice! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gabriel @ #8000: Beatles,presidents and prime ministers were easy. The Welsh words were not. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gabriel @ #11636: It was ok but tv MUST BE ACCEPTED! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gabriel @ #12931: Very good! The only bad thing is that it's so easy! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Gabriel @ #12225: Quite easy though good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12975: Enjoyed this, thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Fishall @ #12966: Oh calamity! (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #1061: Bognor is not a spa town and William III was not a consort... he and Mary II were the only joint monarchs. Inaccurate grid! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Ann Aconda @ #12975: Nice stuff. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #1053: good but would accept album titles??? Harsh. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #12965: Very good gridding! I got in a mess with it and kicked myself when saw the solutions. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12960: Or city! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12960: I thought that too,but found it can be referred to as a coastal town. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12972: Oops - need to proof-read better! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #12972: Being a Brit, I loved this grid! One small thing though, Groggins should be Goggins. (6 years, 9 months ago)

barry @ #51: me too lillard. me too (6 years, 9 months ago)

barry @ #96: legend? tom cruise? it's tom HARDY you fool. Angry and disappointed. (6 years, 9 months ago)

pockets @ #10232: words made of roman numerals very weak (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12901: Say what now?! This is tough... stumbled on one group by chance, but had no idea what linked any of them. (6 years, 9 months ago)

0/10 @ #12709: Need I say any more (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12965: That happens more often than yould think (6 years, 9 months ago)

squareeyes @ #12966: Oh no! I've broken the internet (6 years, 9 months ago)

ZBJ @ #12965: Hello @eagleeyes - this grid was inspired by an episode of University Challenge where they used Pyromaniac. Any resemblance to other grids is purely coincidental. Deep peace. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #12945: Put los Angeles and it said incorrect! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12744: Porcelain and China are kind if interchangeable here (as is paper) so for me this didnt quite work - shame as good otherwise (6 years, 9 months ago)

madgeordie @ #12960: Newcastle's not on the coast! (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12960: a good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

E. Stenders @ #12954: Superb grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12966: Sadly doesn't open! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Eagleeyes @ #12965: TooClever in disguise? Hidden countries and German origins very similar to grid #12755. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12961: Good variety and unlikely that too many Hungarians will be outraged by their country's name being mangled. (6 years, 9 months ago)

E.C. Jet @ #12960: Good grid, very entertaining. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Lynne Seed @ #12957: Easy, but fun. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12951: Great grid - love the leep group (6 years, 9 months ago)

Justin Thyme @ #12961: Entertaining and well put together. (6 years, 9 months ago)

J.Cloth @ #12951: Good stuff, well constructed. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Herman Lefter @ #12956: Interesting and fun. (6 years, 9 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #12960: Is Pluto a planet again now? (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12960: Great stuff - witty, well-thought-out, and fair. Not by any means the most difficult, but that's not in any way a critique against its quality, which is top notch. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12958: Agree it was an easy group to find but thought there was a deeper link I couldn’t see, and it irritated me a bit too but, that said the only person making themselves look like a t*t at the moment is you cdawg (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12960: Great grid... knew all the links but just couldn’t get the groups! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12958: Do remember,this is ,after all.a game! (6 years, 9 months ago)

cdawg @ #12958: [Deleted. Don't be terrible commenters - Mod] (6 years, 9 months ago)

cdawg @ #12957: lose the capital letters for future grids to keep it a little more challenging, although well thought out with a couple of cross over answers. well done. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12954: That is very naughty Jim!😄 (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #12954: However, it should accept semordnilaps because that's the term for words that spell something else backwards. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jim @ #12786: Fun idea with nicely chosen overlaps. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12946: Thank you toes, toast and Sid for the positive comments:) JamesD: Thanks for the detailed critique and your kind words about the grid. I don’t think it’s ever wise to use oneself as a yardstick for anything subjective. In the case of PuzzGrid, one person’s esoterica is almost certainly another’s general knowledge. And I’m pleased to have broadened your knowledge of Scouts and spiders; you never know when one or both might come in handy. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jayarr @ #12948: Oh fniddlesticks! (6 years, 9 months ago)

gridaddict @ #12957: Yip... totally messed that up. (6 years, 9 months ago)

chools @ #12956: difficult (6 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #12956: The capitalization and punctuation should be removed to make it a bit harder. (6 years, 9 months ago)

JonBob @ #12957: The fact that only the snakes are capitalized makes it easier than it should be. (6 years, 9 months ago)

chools @ #3712: (6 years, 9 months ago)

gridaddict @ #12959: Fab grid BestSpyBoy. Love the HP reference. (6 years, 9 months ago)

BestSpyBoy @ #12957: Amazing! Really good grid, especially for kids and beginners. BestSpyBoy (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12954: Nice one, thank you. The GN line was my way in, too. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12951: Enjoyed this, thanks. The Rhubarb line is nicely quirky. Mind you, I liked your West Ham managers line in another grid...:) (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12952: Straightforward and entertaining. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12951: This is the best of the grids you have submitted. Thanks. (6 years, 9 months ago)

jonny boy @ #12954: Lucky I knew GN and Hills , rest fell (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #12931: (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #12946: I successfully backed into the 4th group .... but even then had a tough time connecting them. Nice one! (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12946: I particularly liked the explanations. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toeswest @ #12900: Nice grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12804: Good grid. I knew there were words within words but still couldn't get them! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12804: (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12803: Wasn't sure it was a logical grid when doing it but some very clever red herrings and groups. Nice. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #12954: Great grid - Caz231231, palindromes have to read the same backwards and forwards e.g. kayak. JeSuis is right not to accept it. (6 years, 9 months ago)

ejg @ #12918: like (6 years, 9 months ago)

ejg @ #12924: good one (6 years, 9 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #12927: Great grid. Enjoyed it. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #12930: Brilliant! Well done! (6 years, 9 months ago)

ejg @ #12945: wouldn't accept "districts in Los Angeles"... hmmm. Otherwise good (6 years, 9 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #12945: I didn't get the "Los Angeles" group but very enjoyable none the less! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Caz231231 @ #12954: For the Red Rum column, I answered "palindromes". This is exactly the same as typing "words that spell something else backwards" but my answer wasn't accepted. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #12946: Fun and challenging. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Anton Deck @ #12945: Good work! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Rodent Rocker @ #12948: Great grid, but there's an erroneous 'n' in Istanbul! :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

romeo @ #12522: great grid - beat me! (6 years, 9 months ago)

romeo @ #12523: very elegant (6 years, 9 months ago)

Diane @ #1487: Marked my condiments as wrong! 🙁 (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12950: Spot on, Jayarr. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jayarr @ #12949: (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12950: I think the group including umbilical was a bit unrealistic but I enjoyed this nonetheless (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jayarr @ #12950: "general knowledge" noun. knowledge of a broad range of facts about various subjects (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12950: I'm sad I wasted three minutes of my life on this. Former West Ham United Managers is not a category of general knowledge. Less still when you hide the names at random in other words. What's your game plan here? (6 years, 9 months ago)

rabbit @ #12948: The crossovers with the Ankara group and the other groups are very clever! (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12946: Classic grid, loads of overlap between all the categories rather than the easier plain red herring approach. I know that's a challenge, so well done. My only other comment would be that you've picked a few answers that are more obscure than you need to. I wasn't familiar with mouse spiders or invisible spiders - I'm guessing in the former case because they live in Australia, a long way from me, and in the latter because they're invisible. I'd also never heard of Wolf Scouts, and they seem to be just a thing in the American Cubs. I love the ideas behind this grid, and your execution is brilliant. Maybe my knowledge just isn't general enough to appreciate your work ;-) (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12945: Doesn't accept "Los Angeles" for the LA group. Otherwise, a very nicely balanced grid, not too hard, plenty of red herrings but nothing too arcane. Great work! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12943: Very neat grid, thank you. Particularly liked the ‘Cocker’ line. And definitely agree with curious cat... (6 years, 9 months ago)

Ben Feeka @ #12935: Great fun; typo just means we have to work that little bit harder, which does no harm. (6 years, 9 months ago)

JeSuis @ #12933: Enjoyed it, thanks (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12932: good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #12918: toast, Anthony The Wist... I thank you all. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12936: Sorry! Middle! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12936: Sorry! Middle! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12936: Not All middole eastern? (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12752: Nice grid :-) (6 years, 9 months ago)

gridaddict @ #12936: Fair enough comments - I am Scottish so I threw that in there to be a devil! Wiz - what are you disputing about the Middle Eastern capital cities? (6 years, 9 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12755: Excellent grid. Completely missed the countries which linked really well with the other groups. (6 years, 9 months ago)

EJG @ #1252: Good grid but the Roald Dahl link could ALSO be colloquialisms for very good. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12943: Delicious with cheese (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12937: Appreciate the feedback James and, yes, I love my films so take your point that maybe not everyone is aware of Twelve which I maintain is better than its reviews although not a patch on the original book! (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12936: Fiendish stuff. Great ideas behind this, but to my mind at least you're asking a little too much. Take the "Autumn" line, for instance. French, fine. Spanish, fine (although you need the ñ, really). German I didn't know, but that's on me; I don't think it's unfair to expect people to speak basic German. And then Scots Gaelic?? You require knowledge of a language spoken by only 1% of people in Scotland? Harsh. Don't worry gridaddict, you're perfectly capable of making beautiful and elegant grids that are hard enough without going so obscure. (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12937: In my view, this grid falls into a well-defined category that we see a lot of here, and in that sense it's a pretty good example. However, I feel the whole concept misses the point. First of all - and this is really just a minor quibble - the accuracy is not absolute. In general, the harder you make your grids the more precise you have to be in making the answers fit perfectly, and for example, X and Y are the mammalian sex chromosomes. That's not quite the same thing as gender, as some women are X, XXX, or even XY. I'd see that as a fine clue with "Mammalian Female" or similar, but you're not spot on here. I know the distinction is very minor, but in your position as quizmaster you need to be more than just 99% correct. (I've made this mistake several times.) However, my second point is really the main issue: this knowledge is too abstruse. Fully seven out of the sixteen clues meant nothing to me even after seeing the answers. A quick google cut that to six (I was aware of the movie 21, but the title had slipped my mind), but that's still way too vague. In my vision of a good grid, people who miss a group AND then miss the connection are at least kicking themselves when they see the answer. Or just maybe, at an extreme, interested to have learned or been shown something new. Here you have a very easy Facebook group - nothing wrong with that - and then the wheels fall off. When the three minutes had ticked down and I saw the answers, my response was more "Huh" than the ideal "Ah!" of enlightenment. The clues are based on things I never knew, and now that you tell me I don't take any interest in learning them. "There was a film called Twelve, nobody really liked it and it sank without trace." Never knew that. Never really wanted to know it either. Look at even the hardest walls the professionals put up on Only Connect - they may be fiendish in other ways, but not simply by calling on such obscure facts. Perhaps you underestimate - or I overestimate - quite how special-interest this information is. In particular, are you a major cinephile? You have a lot of film clues in here that I found rather taxing. One trick you can use is to choose a name to post your puzzle under, so as to give users a clue as to the content. In any case, please don't take my post as a deliberate attack on your grid. There are different definitions of what constitutes a good one, and I'm only writing this with respect to my thoughts, and because you asked for comments. Keep on gridding! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12936: Dispute the Islamabad line definition! (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12925: Roth is indeed the accepted British pronunciation, though Americans pronounce it as rath which is the likely cause of the uncertainty. (6 years, 9 months ago)

4by4 @ #12937: Agree with Toast's comments. Also your inclusion of at least 3 answers that could cross over into another line is a good feature. It might be better not to have 2 lines covering the same subject matter unless it is a specialist themed grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #12937: Echo all of Toast's comments. Good stuff. (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12937: Doubt you need much advice. The twenty line was clever . In part the grid was too special interest for my general knowledge but that's not really a fault - you will never please everyone. However a lot of gridders object to good answers being marked wrong. Be sure to accept for example movies as well as films. And keep up the good explanations. (6 years, 9 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12925: What aren't you sure about with the Wrath one? The connection in general or the pronunciation of Wrath? Which is pronounced ROTH btw (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #12929: Weak (6 years, 9 months ago)

Omegaman @ #12929: Would have thought sweet assortments should be acceptable. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Curious cat @ #12937: This is my first attempt at posting a wall, so I’d appreciate your feedback. Thoroughly enjoy this site! (6 years, 9 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12930: Perhaps it’s telling that the only group I got first time was the ‘dunce’ group...definitely a tough one for me! But thanks anyway :) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #12935: Entertaining grid, Thankyou! Just one little typo.... (6 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #12925: Yeah agree with Spiro not sure about the wrath one (6 years, 9 months ago)

S. Spiro @ #12925: How do you like them Wraths, roths... hmmm (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12918: Thanks puzzGrid for sorting this by out and thank you Blues for another original and entertaining puzzle. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #12918: Cheers E.L. (I'm not responsible for previous comment, obviously some wag enjoying a bit of mischief.) (6 years, 9 months ago)

Oliver @ #12673: Where's Nottingham (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #12915: Good stuff. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Nellington @ #12910: The grid accepts 'right wing' for 'Reagan, Oakeshott, Nixon, and Thatcher' but doesn't accept 'left wing' for 'Corbyn, Varoufakis, Benn, and Sanders'. Other than that, good grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Benny Dorm @ #12910: Very tough. (6 years, 9 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #12918: Maintains your usual very high standard Blues. Cracking grid. (6 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #12918: Have another try toast! (6 years, 9 months ago)

kmc @ #9394: (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12918: I beg to differ on the "Easy" rating as I can't even get it to open .The quality rating is indeed unknown and likely to remain that way ( though I suspect it is rather good). (6 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #12915: Excellent. And great explanations ( thanks spell checker but great expectations doesn't quite do it). (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12917: youve posted grid twice , a good grid (6 years, 9 months ago)

anthony @ #12905: a good grid , hurriane is a strong wind (6 years, 9 months ago)

squareeyes @ #12910: Won't accept "nutters" (6 years, 9 months ago)

JamesD @ #12910: The category name keywords are not adequate (6 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #12905: It accepted insects and comics for me - it may have been updated between me playing and you guys playing. Great grid BannOns. I looked at it at first, and thought I wouldn't be able to do it, but then somehow it fell into place and I got 10/10 after trying a number of different things, so that's perfect in my opinion. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Electronics @ #11636: "Electronics" should be accepted as an answer. (6 years, 9 months ago)

Squiggle @ #12835: Mystified by the places- 'settlement' can refer to any size of place and a district is usually bigger than a town. Still works as a group but not for the connection you specify. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Squiggle @ #12895: Good one! (6 years, 10 months ago)

Squiggle @ #12902: Think the spellchecker is the problem not the solution here! More knowledge of homophones is what's needed. (6 years, 10 months ago)

EJG @ #12660: Action connection seems pretty tenuous.. but to toeswest, don't see what's wrong with O'Hare as an airport? In chicago, usually referred to just as O'Hare and the busiest international airport in the world. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Nb @ #12812: Challenging grid let down by the answer recognition. I got all four groups but didn't get a single one accepted as correct. (6 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12835: True, however I never stated that it was a word. Bernard and Romeo are technically names as is Rigamortis (Kendrick Lamar song) So I believe the connection is still valid. Half the answers in this grid wont be found in the dictionary (6 years, 10 months ago)

Naomi @ #12835: I think it's "rigor mortis"... "Riga"mortis is not a word. (6 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #12832: Nice grid . Plug and the others rang a bell all right ( I used to have copies of The Beano when the strip had its original name of When the Bell Rings). Thanks for the memory. (6 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #12833: There is an elegance in the simple lines of this grid that belies the notion that a man who has his fortnightly beer allowance twice a week is incapable of recognising beauty. Personally I have long held that sticking to the recommended limit of twenty-one units a day is the foundation of a cultivated taste. Cheers! (6 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay71 @ #12830: Might i suggest this is not so much a Puzz grid board, but more of an intellectual wank. Of interest to only an incredibly specific audience of Latin scholars or Harvard interns. Experiendum durius (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jezebel @ #6020: Fun, I enjoyed this! (6 years, 10 months ago)

rabbit @ #12801: Argh, I've been sitting on a grid with two of these groups and the same false group for ages! Nice to see the same idea done well. I think the 2^6 clue is a bit mean, since it requires an extra step of logic which none of its groupmates do. (6 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #12766: Nice variety of links. (6 years, 10 months ago)

squareeyes @ #12781: Mr Limerick ... yes you're right, thanks for pointing this out, I see that if you had, e.g. an American accent, the definitions would make no sense. Do you know if there is any way of editing the definitions once you've posted the grid? (6 years, 10 months ago)

StampIron @ #12782: Does anyone know a way, other than writing a continuous line, to make the answer descriptions single-spaced? (6 years, 10 months ago)

MrLimerick @ #12781: In comparing the members of one group you state that they ‘rhyme’ with ‘or’. They do not. I think it would be correct to say that the vowel sounds are the same. Comparing another group to ‘ow’ would be correct if it was ‘ow’ as in ‘how’ but not ‘ow’ as in ‘slow’ ... that would match the group you have rhyming with ‘oh’. (6 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #12764: Some nice touches. (6 years, 10 months ago)

StampIron @ #12758: Yeah... I already had Taps and Endless Love and I saw those were his first two movies so I went with the first four. I probably should have replaced 'Losin' It' with a better-known movie. There's a tendency in constructing I think to lean towards "make it harder" when often the opposite is better.

Jim @ #12639: I don't think this one works because too many of these fit multiple numbers in the 7-8-9 range, so there are multiple equally valid solutions. The game eight-ball is at least as popular as nine-ball, and there's also the fortune-telling Eight Ball; 7, 8, and 9 irons are all golf clubs in the standard set; the Chicago Seven quite famously began as the Chicago Eight; I'd never heard of a straight-eight engine, but in researching it I found the Wikipedia article for the straight-seven engine; and there are probably others that could be swapped too.

NL YCN N CT @ #12618: Most enjoyable (as to be expected from your fine self)... Solved the grid with time to spare but just could not for the life of me see the final connection (wankle group) so only 7/10 for me... However, having not managed to fully eschew all the traits (pedantry, hubris, conceit & oft contempt!) I displayed during my first tentative steps into the world of puzzgrid comments, I'd have to say "wankle" isn't actually a word, at least not I'm my copy of the OED!... Oh, and I'd come so far since those days ;) Hope all's well and keep up the good work... P.S. Enjoy the Ashes, could be closer than expected on late night's evidence (here's hoping!)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12678: Apart from 'Numbers appearing in Sporting team names', and just maybe 'highest scoring in specific sports' (although that is stretching it a bit!) The other two are not really connections, they are a collection of pub quiz trivia answers that have been lumped together. For instance, why those particular sports for the team sizes, there is no link between them other than they are sports. You could say Lets put 6 in that category as the number of players in an ICE HOCKEY team, then place 5 in the scores row for the number of points for a try in rugby union. So you could also argue that there is not a unique solution also. I also agree with what toeswest has stated regarding the scoring systems connection. Apart from all of that......decent grid!

toast @ #12671: I didn't get even close. I found this interesting and informative but with fairly (to me at any rate) obscure subject matter the inclusion of anagrams was turning the screw! (6 years, 10 months ago)

toeswest @ #12678: The highest 'single' score in darts is 60 (triple 20), in snooker is 7 (black ball) and in cricket is 7 (6 off a no-ball). If you argue the 147 is correct, then it too is incorrect: 155. To score 155, a foul stroke must be committed by an opponent, which leaves the non-offender snookered on all 15 reds. By nominating a colour as an ‘extra red’, then taking a subsequent black .... etc. I doubt if anyone on this earth could figure group #4! (6 years, 10 months ago)

toeswest @ #12677: Fun. Didn't accept 'candy bars' or 'soccer team names'. Group 4 was weak. (6 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12652: Pretty sure that AXE and LYNX are in fact the same brand, just in the UK we call it LYNX, but in North America and much of Europe they are labelled AXE. Not sure if this knowledge would have affected your clue choices, just thought I'd make the observation, its been a slow Monday morning! (6 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12657: if either the UNDER or SPARE connection was a different type of connection, then this would be up there with the very best grids. As it stands, its merely excellent! (6 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12656: unfortunately you have fallen into the trap of creating too many red herrings from just two groups, meaning some of the answers in those groups are interchangeable. This makes for multiple correct solutions for the grid. For example you can swap HOMO with MONO, creating monoPHONE and homoPHOBIA. Or PHOTO and MEGA creating photoPHONE and megaPHOBIA, or indeed swap TECHNO with MICRO creating technoPHONE and microPHOBIA, or even move HYDRO down to the phone row to make HYDROPHONE, and swap it with any of the others! I think that makes for around 13 correct combinations of answers. apart from that..... (6 years, 10 months ago)

Diane @ #12622: Not quite accurate. Crash means more than the sound it makes - it also means to bump into something as in car crash, or when things fail ie financial crash, quack as in bogus doctor. Clap is also a slang name for a sexually transmitted disease. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Peekay @ #372: jidda-In particle physics, the types of sub-atomic particles that make up electrons, nuetrons etc are called Quarks....it is common notation to refer to these types as "flavours"....a scientific anomaly for sure, but reasonably commonly known nonetheless (6 years, 10 months ago)

Cheeser @ #12622: Agreed with the previous poster Quack can be in reference to bogus doctors, Clap can be slang for venereal diseases, crash can relate to drops in stock prices etc. (6 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12610: very accessible without being obvious, the mark of a good grid. nice (6 years, 10 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12615: Yeah it is a decent grid. Maybe the creator made a genuine error when entering the answers. If anyone is interested I think I can see the intended connections: (SPOILER ALERT!)

RowG @ #12582: Didn't accept liquers! (6 years, 10 months ago)

Leroy @ #12100: Comedy duos... incorrect. Not though is it? (6 years, 10 months ago)

toeswest @ #12611: Agree with toosmart. Your answers were weak - e.g. "impertinence". 'Impudence' is just as acceptable. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Cuntflaps @ #11763: Cmfinfvkjfjsjdjfuddjjdjdnehgvh (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12524: Just found this one...liked it! (6 years, 10 months ago)

endopax @ #12608: Good grid. I just tried it and guessed Apocryphal books and it was correct for me. Perhaps it wasn't spelt right? (6 years, 10 months ago)

Mum3 @ #12595: Apologies. First submission. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #12608: Well constructed. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Omegaman @ #12596: Caught me out with common. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12603: Twenty-two isn’t a Fibonacci number, to my knowledge... (6 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #12602: Excellent idea, and I love my Greek history. The problem is there are so many combinations that work together. If you use red herrings, you can only have up to two, if you have three or more for each group, you can form other groups that also work. So there is no unique solution. So had to mark it down :( (6 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #12600: Loved it (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12580: Very neatly created grid. I enjoyed it, thank you. (6 years, 10 months ago)

toeswest @ #12596: Common (6 years, 10 months ago)

anthony @ #12596: a good grid with plenty of red herrings (6 years, 10 months ago)

Mike @ #12591: Not easy but worth pursuing (6 years, 10 months ago)

Mike @ #12595: I had all the answers right but was "correct" only once beacuse of pedantic marking (6 years, 10 months ago)

MissMinx @ #12586: Super grid, got them all but never got connections....good crossovers (6 years, 10 months ago)

Fridge @ #12595: Good groups, a few herrings. Overall I like the puzzle. However your keywords are AWFUL. It wouldn't accept 'Eric' as the group of first names, it wouldn't accept 'Smart', 'Knowledge' or 'Discretion' for the wise group (typo as well), and the worst is the comedy duos. It wouldn't accept 'Comedy' or 'Duos'. So good wall but I had to give very low quality as it wouldn't accept any correct connections. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12578: Nice grid, thank you. (6 years, 10 months ago)

4by4 @ #12593: It might be better to have the missing word always at the start or always at the end in the same set. Also it might be better to add a bit of variety rather than have all prefixes and suffixes or all the same theme i.e. films as in some of your other grids. (6 years, 10 months ago)

4by4 @ #12595: From North East England? (Ant, Idle, Sage, Whitley, Robin Hood's) Small points - MorecAmbe, InfoRmed. Good fun. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #12470: Aah! Spurn!! Thanks Amanda-I wondered why I`d never heard of that word!Haha! :-D (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #12544: Not enough `red Herrings for a `medium`! That made it too easy. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #12551: Bit too do-able for `medium! (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jonjo @ #5160: Lol I wrote in pirates for last clue and got 10/10! Didn’t know what all the arctic monkey references were all about! (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #6388: Gnocchi isn`t really pasta :-/ (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jiminez @ #1497: I liked your puzzle... however, I have always understood "information" to be a non-count noun, meaning that it does not have a plural form. I may be wrong, though... (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #6873: What`s a Banana then? (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #6873: No they are NOT all grain products OC! Potatoes are not-they could have gone in vegetables also.Maybe a few more `red herrings needed to make it tricky ? bit too easy for me. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #7270: Yeah-I find the range of acceptable answers for the sets is a problem in most of the gridsI In one it accepted only writers and in this only authors for egs-must be a way to overcome that,surely? Just the same orchestra should do-they are all orchestral instruments after all. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #7278: Agree with Jeanlin :-) (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #7580: You just need a red herring or two and maybe don`t write ALL of a category backwards and none of the others;I guessed the footballers just because they were the only ones backward spelled-I don`t really know any of them except Wayne Rooney. Keep at it :-) (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #7677: Blimey-ur right about The BIRDS band!! I`m old enough & don`t remember them! Is `Beaten` eggs a recipe/way of cooking eggs-nah!? (6 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #12578: Very nice, thanks (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #7871: Still TOO easy-needs some `red herrings` (ones that belong in more than one set). Easy example penguin-it`s a snack biscuit AND a wild animal (OK-not as wild as the ones you chose but it fits :-D ) (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #7872: Yeah-bit TOO easy! (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #8000: :-D Yeah-got other three! You combined 2 rounds(remember the leave out the vowels and squidge up the consonants round?) Nice idea. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #8366: Mmm!? They ARE capitals though. Yeah-that`s ODD but at least s/he/someone has corrected the pool category-I put beach and it said `correct`. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Krista @ #8494: Categories again-I wrote simple-that`s NOT wrong for that last set! Please include a few more possibilities. TOO easy otherwise -should go in` very easy` section. (6 years, 10 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12585: Very neat, enjoyed it. (6 years, 10 months ago)

4by4 @ #12585: I suffered from storm damage at the end but overall it was set at a reasonable level. Coincidentally you have scuppered one I was working on! (OSCAR Wilde, TONY Hadley, Freddie MERCURY, BOOKER T and the MGs, JMW TURNER, EMMYlou Harris). it is inevitable with the nuber of grids created. (6 years, 10 months ago)

uncstebah @ #12557: Thank you for your comments, Jezebel. RickRoll - Redd Herring? What red herring? (6 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12545: Unfortunately my explain for the LOTR connection was too long to fit! Spoiler alert!: the last one was DRAGON-fly. It also goes on to say that if you managed to find that connection then I must applaud you, such is the obscure nature of the link. Also if it stumped you, I hope you managed to discover the remaining connections (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12513: Very nice grid. I, too, liked the TH group. ‘Cack’ gave me my way in! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12501: Really liked this, thank you. I never thought that recognising a Donny Osmond song would stand me in such good stead... (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12496: Nice puzzling. Though I’m disappointed that ‘crocodile’ didn’t come under the ‘household pets’ category...mine seems quite happy in the bath. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12498: Very neat puzzle, with just the right amount of trickery... (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12497: My sort of territory - herbs, poets and the Simpsons! - so I managed to be left with the alliterative names by default. Nice grid :) (6 years, 11 months ago)

Caris @ #12501: Very clever! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Caris @ #12495: "Peaks" should be accepted for "mountains and hills" - you need to expand your list of correct words (6 years, 11 months ago)

anthony @ #12322: chess pieces rubbish . i hope theirs no more (6 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #12485: Two very good lines. The less line was presumably there to provide red herrings but was less successful in my opinion. Still overall a good challenge and enjoyable. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12457: Wouldn't accept Russian, grad or cities so difficult to get that group right! (6 years, 11 months ago)

cupiditas @ #12492: I imagine you enjoyed making it more than I enjoyed doing it. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Pedant @ #12490: Unfortunately, being a pedant, I have to point out that you can swap lily and lavender, (lily being Harry potters mum, and lavender white being a colour in the delux range) thus making two correct solutions to the grid (6 years, 11 months ago)

anthony @ #12491: a very good grid (6 years, 11 months ago)

Bunfight @ #12486: A nice quick one (6 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #12478: 'Acronym' didnt work as an answer (6 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #12479: So many other options for hunt. Also why isn't 'bird' accepted for the garden bird category, harsh. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12473: Because of the personal content and because it's not published as a general-interest quiz, I gather it's part of a private puzzle hunt with a murder-mystery theme. You might have noticed the non-Puzzgrid-related clue in one of the explanations, and that same clue has appeared in all three grids by this user. (The setter is probably trying to make a clean one without any outside comments, but the setter probably doesn't realize his/her own comment draws everyone else's attention via the comments page. As a courtesy, I'd suggest we refrain from commenting on this user's puzzles that aren't publicly posted.) (6 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #12470: I got incorrect for synonyms for waste so just put synonyms for the next group and got incorrect. Then I put games for another group instead of popular boardgames so got 3 wrong out of 4 - a bit harsh methinks. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nelly @ #12482: Not one for the oldies!! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Queen @ #12469: Excellent grid (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nellington @ #12470: Not a bad grid, but would you mind if I offer a little constructive criticism? If 4 items are grouped because they're synonyms, I think it's a good idea to put in as many possible synonyms as you can think of in the answer box. For example, for the group 'Trash', 'Refuse', 'Garbage', and 'Rubbish' I put as the answer "Synonyms for litter" and this was marked as incorrect, but the answer given was "Synonyms for garbage". My guess is that "litter" wasn't one of the key words you put in the answer box. I get that it's impossible to anticipate all the possible correct answers 100% of the time, but when it comes to groups of synonyms I think the more relevant key words you put in the answer box the better the odds for solvers. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12473: I think it's a kind of weak joke? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nellington @ #12468: Quality grid! Lots of great connections, even if I didn't get all of them. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Kit G. @ #12473: What on Earth is this-how are people supposed to work this out if they have no idea who these people are? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Queen @ #12481: A promising debut. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Pedant @ #12478: A grid should only have one correct solution (6 years, 11 months ago)

Pedant @ #12478: This grid has so many viable solutions that it simply doesn't work. As already pointed out you can swap hp with ibm, or even LG, you can swap samsung with Sony or even canon, you can swap Philips or toshiba with samsung. (Some of these companies make an awful lot of different products, especially Samsung and Philips. You can swap apple with a few of the others as well etc etc..... (6 years, 11 months ago)

bonehead @ #12479: How about James Hunt? Or Linda? (6 years, 11 months ago)

bonehead @ #12479: as below.....you cannot be serious (6 years, 11 months ago)

Kit G. @ #12478: IBM are also manufacture computers and HP is an acronym,so they can be swapped over... (6 years, 11 months ago)

RickRoll @ #12479: Hunt hunt? (6 years, 11 months ago)

JBOY @ #12478: (6 years, 11 months ago)

Barry Scott @ #12478: Bang! And the dirt is gone ;) (6 years, 11 months ago)

Kim jong un @ #12478: Which genius made this (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nigel Farage + Donald Trump @ #12478: Ur an genius you stumped the greatest minds in the world (6 years, 11 months ago)

JBOY @ #12478: (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12475: Good for the family (6 years, 11 months ago)

Pedant @ #12474: Not sure why this was labelled fiendish. Two of the connections leap off the screen. Then you are left with eight examples of seafood which, admittedly are harder to pin down, however you then discover that that's because some of them are interchangeable making for a grid with more than one solution (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12454: See my earlier comment SMck! (6 years, 11 months ago)

HandyHint @ #12473: HOVER OVER THE QUESTION MARKS TO GAIN VALUABLE INFORMATION (6 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #12462: Good one. (6 years, 11 months ago)

SMck @ #12454: Put 'stick' - wrong!!!! Terrible & Frustration!!!! Awful error in an otherwise decent grid - but what is a lopstick???? (6 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #12447: Pretty good thanks. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12465: John, they're various elements from the TV series. It was set in a place known only as The Village, the antagonist/gaoler was known only as No. 2, and Rover was a giant white bubble that bounced around to keep the prisoners in check. The only item I wasn't keen on was Resigned, because it wasn't a person/place/thing and appeared only in the opening sequence; the protagonist resigns his job, and his file is placed in a drawer marked Resigned. That quibble aside, I thought The Prisoner was a fun idea for a grid line, so I enjoyed seeing it here. (I wish the series were available on Netflix since I'd love to watch it again.) (6 years, 11 months ago)

HINT @ #12471: HOVER OVER THE QUESTION MARKS AND YOU MIGHT FIND SOME USEFUL INFORMATION (6 years, 11 months ago)

Amanda S @ #12470: Spurn not sprun (6 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #12440: Brilliant grid, knew the categories but couldn't pick the right ones in time! (6 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #12454: Didn't accept 'Emoji'? (6 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #12457: typed 'grad', wrong. (6 years, 11 months ago)

John @ #12465: I don't understand the prisoner link? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #12456: Wouldn't accept William... (6 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #12457: Wouldn't accept ......grad (6 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #12400: Last group was impssible.....what kids? whose kids? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Chris Brook @ #2297: Excellent (6 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #12454: Lop stick?????? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Calum @ #9983: I tried Ben Dover about 5 times. (6 years, 11 months ago)

AJ @ #12421: As others have said, needs to be square root of -1. Otherwise great quiz. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nellington @ #12463: Nice grid. The elements group, in particular, was very clever. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #12465: Good except that I hate The Prisoner links (6 years, 11 months ago)

Zbj @ #12335: Nice one. (6 years, 11 months ago)

anthony @ #12450: good (6 years, 11 months ago)

Zbj @ #12445: Brilliant. Just got it with less than 10 seconds left and feel very good about myself :) (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12463: I liked this grid a lot, though I'm not quite sure affable totally fits in with the rest in its category. A smashing grid otherwise, though! (6 years, 11 months ago)

JeSuis @ #12450: Good stuff! (6 years, 11 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #4271: Needs better explanations (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12460: Nice toughie, thank you. I got too hung up on film directors...which is exactly what you wanted! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12446: Goodness me,playing in those would indeed be a challenge! High tops,didn't know that.thankyou! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Robbo @ #12460: Very good, only worked out half of it. (6 years, 11 months ago)

JustWhy @ #12457: First 'Shatter' and now 'Chuckle' I can't tell if you are deliberately messing with people but if not there is a great new website you may find handy www.google.com (6 years, 11 months ago)

patch @ #12451: Nice red herrings. My cultural knowledge let me down but still enjoyed it. (6 years, 11 months ago)

patch @ #12454: Grid OK but answer acceptance not great. My correct, one-word answer for the Grinning face group was not accepted, but my incorrect (or rather, too general) answer for the Ghostbusters group was accepted. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12446: Ah, thanks. That is, literally and figuratively, more pedestrian than what I'd guessed. In the US we called those high-tops, whereas we use boots to refer to the thick, heavy footwear worn by hikers and construction workers, for example. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12460: Lovely grid,varied and fun! I enjoyed seeing Ginger Baker ...he was extraordinary! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12457: Maybe Miss Slink, that doesn't matter? Enjoyed it, didn't complete it! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12446: Jim, I don't think there's anything subtle about it. Baseball boots were popular in the 60s or 70s...just like sneakers but high over ankles. I always thought they actually had something to do with baseball. What were they called in the USI wonder? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12440: I've noticed this too, JeSuis - there's a contact email address on the "about" page, maybe they'll be able to shed some light? Nice grid, by the way. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12451: I liked this, though if I'm allowed to be a little pedantic, shouldn't it be Davis Jr? I guess that would make it a lot more obvious, though... (6 years, 11 months ago)

H&eM @ #12450: JeSuis - Boom! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12446: Wiz, I've never heard of playing baseball in boots either, but given the lack of jumping, that would seem slightly more feasible than basketball. At this point I suspect I'm missing some British joke or cultural reference, but this presumably doesn't refer to Boots the chemist or the storage boots of motor vehicles, and that exhausts my knowledge of UK-specific boots. Google, as usual, was no help at all. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Robbo @ #12456: Surely should be Shatner. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12454: Nice, though surely it should be written AC/DC? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12457: Chuckle should indeed be Chuckie. Also, aren't Stalingrad and Volgograd the same place, just having used each name at different points in history? (6 years, 11 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #12456: Damn, that's two on the trot I've failed! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nellington @ #12457: Not a bad grid, but I think Chuckle should be Chuckie. (6 years, 11 months ago)

TooClever @ #12455: I agree with 4by4. Also it's not a unique solution. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you could swap Ukraine and Moldova and still retain a valid solution (6 years, 11 months ago)

4by4 @ #12455: A potentially decent grid is a bit let down by the Smith line - Shatter should be Shatner? of Orange? and if it is the big film star Smith his name is Willard (but there is another older and probably less well known Smith). (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hotspur62 @ #12447: Didn't recognise the answers Add an a to make girls names or The four Gospels! (6 years, 11 months ago)

JeSuis @ #12440: As an aside, does anyone know why newly submitted grids are being removed? (6 years, 11 months ago)

JeSuis @ #12440: Bonehead; not sure what you mean, but "flu" is an acceptable answer? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12446: But not baseball ,Jim? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12446: It would seem rather difficult to play basketball while wearing boots. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12445: No worries, i suspect this happens a lot... (6 years, 11 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #9737: Once again we have an answer based on a ridiculous English pronunciation... This time of the word Bark - In Scotland we pronounce the R much like they do in the rest of the world outside the home counties (6 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12445: just looked at grid 6505 Mister tom. There is a similarity, indeed 2 of the same connections. I assure you it is by coincidence rather than plagiarism though. I almost used Nymph as a clue too! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12445: Very nice! I enjoyed learning the proper name for a baby oyster. A small note: Sara could equally be Carl. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12423: Ironically, given the comments (6 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12423: Could have done with more scope for confusion (6 years, 11 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12445: A tribute to #6505? :-) very nice individual clue choices (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #5389: One of puzzgrids finest! (6 years, 11 months ago)

tonyb leeds @ #5389: got 6/10 delighted. very very tough. i would need to be 200 to solve the statesman link (6 years, 11 months ago)

JGD @ #12400: No way of knowing some of the answers as they relate to personal connections (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nellington @ #12447: Nice grid, but didn't accept gospel writers as an answer. (6 years, 11 months ago)

bonehead @ #12440: surely flu would do, please change (6 years, 11 months ago)

anthony @ #12434: not too difficult (6 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #12423: :) (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12423: That made me laugh:) (6 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12423: Oooooh yeah.... ive had a bit of a think, can you change my username to Wiz. only joking! to be honest, I quite like TooCleverByHalf. for the time being maybe we could leave it as that. thanks for the offer (6 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #12423: Thanks TooClever, if you would like a name of your own choosing let me know and I'll change it. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12423: It was a bit infuriating, but thanks for contrition...enjoy puzzgrid,it is indeed a great site. (6 years, 11 months ago)

TooCleverByHalf @ #12423: As the Wiz impersonator, I would like to apologise to firstly Wiz, it was a bit of fun that I probably took a bit too far, and secondly to PuzzGrid, its a great site, very entertaining, needless to say a donation to site maintenance is due by way of recompense. Happy gridding everyone (6 years, 11 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #12441: Very good grid, I could see the US link, but I took to long to sort it and ran out of time. (6 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #12441: Good grid. Don't worry about the classification as the setter only chooses the initial setting.That can then be changed by the solvers. (6 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #12440: nice simple grid (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12441: Very nice and dare I say topical! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jezebel @ #12441: Thank you. Glad you liked it. I thought I’d marked it as ‘difficult’ but it’s showing as ‘medium’. I’m a newbie at this, so apologies if anyone is misled. (6 years, 11 months ago)

uncstebah @ #12441: An excellent, topical grid. Didn't solve it but the solution brought a smile, especially the Macbeth group. Really enjoyed this one. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Marion Haste @ #12440: Clever gridding. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Big boy @ #1653: Pay dirt? (6 years, 11 months ago)

4by4 @ #12434: Toast is correct. The solution has to be unique. This is not unique as Toast describes. It should not discourage anyone from creating a grid but can be a learning point for creating any future grids. Everyone can be fallible - it is difficult to get everything spot on. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Angry person @ #12292: I put quadrilatirals for the 2d shape one and it said it was incorrect (6 years, 11 months ago)

RickRoll @ #7182: Pile (6 years, 11 months ago)

Frantic @ #12421: Was marked wrong for 24 for some reason. Good variety. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Frantic @ #12423: good variety. Hard if you don't know Adele albums. Liked the Fifty category. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Frantic @ #12425: Good variety. Got two out of four but should have got the others - they were good sets. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Frantic @ #12429: Not in my comfort zonen - don't know any guitar makes or some of the Rogers! (6 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #12434: Bob this has been discussed before. Crossovers are great but only one solution that covers the grid is permissible. On this grid there are three equally valid solutions but two of them are marked incorrect. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Frantic @ #12430: Liked it. Some good clues to hang on to. Good variety. Did better this time (6 years, 11 months ago)

Frantic @ #12431: Too much the same sort of thing. Sour grapes because I scored zero! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Peekay @ #10088: Berlin is by far the most populous city in Germany, therefore making the clue useless (6 years, 11 months ago)

Bobretd @ #12434: Toast that is the whole idea that there are 'crossover' answers for the different groups of 4 (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12434: Good for those who dig their UK geography, but maybe one to miss for those whom the subject is a massive blind spot. I personally prefer my grids to cover a variety of topics, but I'm aware there are plenty of people who feel differently. (6 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #12434: Thanks but I think either Tyne or Humber could be swapped with Thames so there is not a unique solution. Good try though. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Colm @ #12421: -1 is not i; liked the last group - kicking myself that I missed it (6 years, 11 months ago)

RickRoll @ #12433: No real decoys or red herrings here; the bashful one was too easy, considering the other options. I liked the caretaker England managers one, though. (6 years, 11 months ago)

JJLeDJ @ #4648: Not how you spell pidgin in this case (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12432: Come on guys, leave me some feedback. Stroke/destroy my ego as you see fit! (6 years, 11 months ago)

roger @ #12408: Poor quality due to the lack of thought you have put into the acceptable answers. Girls names are all ridiculously spelt. Synonyms for litter not accepted. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12431: It's pretty similar! I haven't! (6 years, 11 months ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #12431: Not entirely the same; but you must have a good memory. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12431: This is like an earlier grid of yours? Any reason?enjoyed it! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Big Boy @ #184: Enjoyed this one - liked the cross overs. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Elaine Closure @ #12429: Fun grid, but would not accept animals. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12396: I see, Jim ,sorry I got you wrong! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12428: Nicely constructed. That was fun to puzzle out, and quite reasonable with a bit of thought. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12420: It's funny how often I rule out the correct answer. "Well, it can't be twin because there's no such thing as twin town or twin Atlantic." (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12396: Right, wiz, I was referring to the author of the book (but trying to avoid mentioning Herge or Tintin), not the grid-setter. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Omegaman @ #12418: Wouldn't accept just city (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12420: Not me!good attempt.... (6 years, 11 months ago)

Ragman @ #12420: Capricorn is a goat, not a centaur.... (6 years, 11 months ago)

Tolkein @ #14: I introduced the plural 'dwarves' in the hobbit. Until then, and therefore in Snow White, the only plural option was 'dwarfs' (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nick H @ #12421: unfortunately, the number -1 is NOT known as/abbreviated to 'i'. i is the SQUARE ROOT of -1, hence an 'impossible number', (i for impossible!). Other than that, nice grid (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wrong @ #12392: D'oh, I wrote 'title' not 'titles' so lost 3 points! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wrong @ #12403: First words in titles... need to be really famous titles for that to be a serious group, otherwise you can basically just throw any random selection of words together. Also, I loved Captain Scarlet, doesn't stop a viable correct answer to that group being 'colours' though. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wrong @ #12408: The fact that they're capitals and European capitals is a group, niche spellings of names within them is not. Would have been a fine grid apart from that failure from the setter. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Brother Andio @ #10486: Dear Grid Setter, Whilst I very much enjoyed your grid, I was left somewhat heartbroken by being marked as incorrect for the link I provided For the black box, koala bear set. These were all things that are not what they actually say they are. I can't remember how I phrased my answer but it was deemed to be incorrect. As I have clearly shown that I put exactly the right answer (TO THE LETTER!) imagine my horror in being told I was wrong. I am never wrong. Now I am heartbroken (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12275: Thanks, Wiz and Miss Slink. I'm in the United States, and Google informed me of what a pick 'n' mix is (our closest equivalent is "penny candy," an assortment of jars of different candies, where each piece costs the same amount, historically a penny but now probably a nickel). However, Google wasn't helping with the individual items; dolphins and shrimp don't seem to have swum across the Atlantic. We do have fudge, thank goodness, though I've never seen it in a penny candy display. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12365: Good grid, though Lion might have worked better than Oscar because the other three all need to be preceded by Golden. What's the canine idiom: dog-eat-dog world? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12275: Jim, are you outside the UK? I have a feeling pick 'n' mix is a very much a British tradition. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #12364: Excellent work - nice variety of subjects, lots of crossovers, and the missing Misses was clever. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Susan @ #12281: Needs to specify what format the answer should be in (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12277: Since the previous comments were unhelpful, I'll add a detailed one. Aside from the Westminster group, I don't think this grid worked: 1. The grass group feels arbitrary because "wet grass" and "long grass" aren't special phrases, nor is grass necessarily long or wet. 2. There's no parallelism in the saint group. Laurent and Teresa are names of saints (as is nearly any common name used by Christians), Leslie Charteris created Simon "the Saint" Templar, and Moore doesn't have any connection that I can find. 3. If this grid had any red herrings between groups, I'm not seeing them. 4. I can't view the answer to the Dombey group because the software won't let me enter an answer, but if it's "and Son(s)" as suggested by Dombey and Mumford, then the other two are so obscure that Googling them doesn't yield anything notable. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #12275: Yes they are all candies shrimp ,ring and dolphin shaped. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12275: I'd never heard of a pick 'n' mix, and even after repeated Googling, I don't understand the items in that group. Are dolphins and shrimp slang terms for candy in the UK, or maybe brand names of candy? Do rings refer generically to ring-shaped candies, like Life Savers in the United States, or something else entirely (like calamari rings, in light of dolphins and shrimp)? On a separate note, I liked the fish category but was puzzled by the explanation "Native fish." Native to someplace in particular? (6 years, 11 months ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #12348: Perfectly good grid; my intellect is clearly inferior to HQ's. (6 years, 11 months ago)

4by4 @ #12349: Really well constructed and achievable in spite of many posibilities for one group. Particularly liked the "cat" clue. (6 years, 11 months ago)

bonehead @ #12338: 2 sets in nato alphabet unacceptable, though very easy grid (6 years, 11 months ago)

Ray @ #12340: I liked most of it but wasn't sure the element group really fit in, with both letters being capitalized. I appreciated the descriptions here because I'd heard of a band called CSS but never CCS and initially wasn't sure it wasn't an error. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12339: Deficient in herrings, but otherwise this puzz is in decent fettle. (6 years, 11 months ago)

PuzzGrid Champion @ #12337: A bit unfair not to accept 'forests' and my knowledge of the Blackburn Rovers line-up is sadly rusty. Otherwise enjoyable grid. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12319: Lovely assortment of herrings, if easily doable in the end. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12320: Hampton thinks 'biscuit' is a bit of a stretch for a Twix. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12321: Like M&S clothes, this puzz unfolds pleasantly and with some mild surprises, but with no real panache. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12322: Chess pieces spelt wrong was a hilariously bad group. I don't know why you didn't just spell them correctly, there aren't any red herrings in that group as it is but if you'd spelled them correctly you'd have had Bishop as a red herring. Weird choice. (6 years, 11 months ago)

aardvark @ #12306: Need to fix accepted answers e.g. "4 sided" acceptable answer, "electr" would allow electronic as well as electrical. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nick @ #12306: yes, the fact that the 4 in that group are all quadrilaterals made choosing it easier, and triangle wasnt the intended red herring, Nice 4 anagrams! (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nick @ #12313: agree regarding the 4th '15'. I had the other 3 (very clever connection) but was just guessing and failed. Enjoyable though, nice red herrings (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12245: I really enjoyed this, Blues: it was a creative, original concept, and I found all four to be easy once I noticed what the equalities meant. Every quizzer, crossword buff, or geography buff knows Niue, so I'm surprised people are calling it obscure. I'm even more surprised by the back-and-forth over whether Niue is a country: the theme is "Places=2i," not "Countries=2i," so who cares whether it's a country? No one can deny that it's a place.

Blues @ #12245: Smh, Johnny Truth (Wiz)... Apology first to Smh if you thought I was flippant, that wasn't the intention although in hindsight it looks it. Secondly I didn't post the reply to you both after your excellent dissertations on national identity somebody obviously did it on my behalf. Now here's my two cents worth... Take a moment to consider what I tried to do to form this particular grid. Each row had three "three letter" words and a clue. The three letter words in each row were originally "four letter" words with an identical letter removed which also had to occupy the same position in each of the original words in its own row but in a different position to all the other rows. The three letter words that were left also had to make sense rather than be just a collection of letters (where possible). This restricted things a little. When it came to "countries" that were 4 letters long, with the second letter "i" my scope was very limited. This was why Niue appeared. As to whether Niue is a bona-fida country then this is open to debate but I offer the following:- I listed countries with 4 letters and Niue popped up all over the place. I then checked it with Wikipedia (not fool proof I know) but the opening statement is:- " Niue is an island country" I also saw them play rugby against the Cook Islands... So logic told me, for the sake of this quiz, that Niue passed most tests (although apparently not the UN's) I did not ask for a UN ratified country or an independent nation or sovereign state, simply a country. This begs the question how were countries classified pre October 24th 1945? or even before the 10th January 1920? when we had neither the UN or its forerunner "the League of Nations." (I don't know) As to Wales or Scotland or Ireland not being countries... 1. Point at a map of the Island or Ireland and ask any schoolchild what two countries make up the island and they will tell you Eire (or the republic) and N.I. 2. Walk into any pub in Glasgow and ask them what nationality they are or what country they live in.... Also wasn't James king of both countries? 3. Every time I cross the Severn bridge driving west out of England I pass a sign "Welcome to Wales" on the border of the two countries. Undoubtedly your information is irrefutable but sometimes we have to bow to common consciousness. Nevertheless thank you for taking the time to reply. (Ooops nearly forgot Smh, the reason I asked you if you finished the grid was simply out of curiosity, I could not imagine you getting so enraged had you waltzed through it. It is quite a strange grid because I have retried it since and struggled and I thought I knew the answers... (I knew Niue anyway.) Beer now. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Drake59 @ #12292: Apologies for the mistakes in this grid. For example I spelled Integral incorrectly. I have remade this grid it's No 12306 (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12291: Enjoyed that, especially the anagrams. I often see ludicrously obscure themes on here, but Bible books aren't one of them. They're mainstream knowledge, and I'm not at all religious. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12302: I don't think this is a general-interest grid. Even from the answers, I can't tell what three of the groups mean, and the fourth one is incorrect: the Rolling Stones, the Police, and Guns N' Roses aren't goth/emo bands. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Drake59 @ #12300: Apologies for all the mistakes in this grid. For example Freighter is spelled incorrectly. This grid should have be catergorised a Easy. I have remade the grid it is no 12305 (6 years, 11 months ago)

Jim @ #12205: The Melba group was nice, but the Ever and Never groups weren't very interesting, IMHO. In particular, surely there were more interesting options than Is and In (such as Queens, High, or Green). Also, other than Victoria and Cleopatra being queens (which wasn't close to forming a four-item group), there weren't any crossovers. (6 years, 11 months ago)

Nellington @ #12265: Good grid, but one small gripe. Damien Green, Jeremy Hunt, David Gauke, and Amber Rudd are all Conservative politicians, but when I put in the answer 'Conservative politicians', it was rejected as incorrect. Then I tried again and just tried entering 'politicians' and that came back as incorrect as well. Just for future reference, I think it would be a good idea to put a wider range of linking terms in when submitting the grid. For instance, if I'd done it, I'd have put "Cabinet; minister; ministers; politician; politicians; MP; parliament; Tory; Conservative" and maybe a couple of others. Any one of these would indicate that the solver had the right answer (or had gotten close enough to make no difference). Just a thought, and it's only a minor gripe. Otherwise, another excellent grid :-) (6 years, 11 months ago)

4by4 @ #12245: Took a couple of looks to work out the concept. Once you have that it is quite achieveable with a bit of trial and error to get the obscure answers (it is easier to find one obscure answer in a set than trying to find a set containing all obscure answers requiring a specialist knowledge). I like the concept and applaud the attempt to add a bit of variety. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Johnny truth @ #12245: This is: IT (=1S 2H) (6 years, 12 months ago)

Sally can dance @ #12245: Wow, ridiculously obscure. Shoe horned a couple of those answers in to make up the connections didn't you. And then you let yourself down further, Niue is not a in recognised country and neither is Siam, one could even argue that wire isn't in English so doesn't really match with the others. Not sure I liked using one of the squares as a clue either. In fact I'm bang against this grid. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Nellington @ #12245: I like the gimmick, but I think each group contained at least one answer that was (IMO) too obscure. There can't be that many people who have heard of the Isle of Niue (population 1,624), or know that Roan is a breed of horse. I think the gimmick alone is enough to make the puzzle challenging and if the answers had been a little more mainstream I'd have given it full marks. Still, clever idea. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #12211: Heh. I did one very much like this a while back, but used "Morose" instead of "Prig" because it gave a red herrign with "dreadful". Can't find it, unfortunately ;-) (6 years, 12 months ago)

4by4 @ #12226: Hogwarts is a valid answer for the Harry Potter group (Black could refer to Sirius Black - a central character in the books). Otherwise nicely constructed. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Tom Lawson @ #12215: I think this is great Evelyn. Thank you for doing it. I suggest you add a few more options for explaining three and four. 'stages' might be acceptable as well as 'steps' in three and I put 'filibuster' in four because they all had something vaguely to do with that or not. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Tulloch @ #12218: Nice grid. Wouldn't say Votive means holy in the same way the others do. It is more something that is offered in thanks or offering, but has no actual holiness of its own the way sacred, sanctified or consecrated objects do. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Nellington @ #12211: Top quality grid. Nice one! (6 years, 12 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12208: Slippery grid, nicely done. (6 years, 12 months ago)

bonehead @ #12210: who is this writer called Bennet? Not Alan Bennett, surely? The absence of the final T is important - it makes you think of the family in Pride and Prej. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Suzanne @ #2265: Great - perfect for ks3 (6 years, 12 months ago)

Nellington @ #12206: Great grid! (6 years, 12 months ago)

Nellington @ #12207: Excellent grid! Loved the beans :-) (6 years, 12 months ago)

Nellington @ #12208: Good grid, but it didn't accept 'pharmacies'. Given that most players are (probably) from the UK, I think it would be better if we didn't have to specify UK pharmacies. (6 years, 12 months ago)

Ynot @ #12192: c, even if it is a typo the Eurasian Griffon is a vulture, so definitely wings there ;) Billy, sublime is a verb (albeit one I'd never heard of before) Great grid! (6 years, 12 months ago)

quizzer @ #10166: I enjoyed this one very clever (6 years, 12 months ago)

bonehead @ #12197: good instead of sunday? (7 years ago)

Wiz @ #12167: Indeed it is! (7 years ago)

SD @ #12197: The answer for "Morning" is not nearly as strong as the rest of the category, and the one for "English" also doesn't fit nearly as well - it's not a phrase anyone English would use. (7 years ago)

Rachel @ #1396: good (7 years ago)

SD @ #2748: Awesome (7 years ago)

StillFlying @ #12196: Thanks for the feedback. I can see why that wouldn't work. Sorry about that! (7 years ago)

Fitz @ #12192: Sublime is fine I say, and it's a minor typo with Griffin. Didn't get a single group, but thought this was excellent! (7 years ago)

Fitz @ #12196: Yeah I agree. I was left with 6 birds + Lion + Ram. Practically impossible to get the last 2 groups from there. Liked the other 2 groups though. (7 years ago)

gnu @ #12196: Animals found on flags is too difficult, don't see how anyone is supposed to get that from the 4 animals in that group. Birds on the other hand is too wide and general a group. (7 years ago)

StillFlying @ #2184: That was fun. (7 years ago)

StillFlying @ #12177: Great grid. It can be tricky to come up with all the ways people might input the links, but the grid was really well thought out and I enjoyed it a lot. (7 years ago)

Jn @ #12191: Not sure about the double name. No idea who that is. (7 years ago)

z @ #12188: Either way it's a loose connection. Didn't like the inconsistency in the jacket group either. Your other grid is better. (7 years ago)

Al @ #12189: Might be worth tweaking your answer matching again - colours of cows is very specific. Liked the drunks one. Generally, a little too easy to match the fours and then not always possible to find a unique link between the words. (7 years ago)

Al @ #12188: Not everyone's cup of tea maybe! Technically a homophone is any single word that is part of a homophonic set, so it's right by the dictionary definition. Sorry you didn't enjoy it! (7 years ago)

Al @ #12191: Didn't accept "Shakespeare characters" - answer matching seems a bit tight! (7 years ago)

z @ #12188: Homophones was a seriously weak group. I guess what you really mean is 'words that have homophones'. Poor grid. (7 years ago)

4by4 @ #12177: Thanks for the comments - will try to improve links in future (this was first attempt) (7 years ago)

BigMacAndGs @ #12183: Well spotted Pedant, I clearly had the Stephensons on the mind... (7 years ago)

Al @ #12144: Cunning "second movies" - nice! Thought the "halves of double acts" was a little tenuous... (7 years ago)

Al @ #12151: I thought Christmas box was a little obscure, but the watch parts was a good group. So close to getting 10! (7 years ago)

Al @ #12153: Nice one! (7 years ago)

Al @ #12154: I'm with Nellington on this one. One real niche per grid is ok, but I think this was a little too esoteric. (7 years ago)

I guess his luck would need to hold out along with the guy who draws him. Anyway thank you all I am encouraged by your kindly remarks.

RickRoll @ #7011: Chanel? (7 years ago)

Nellington @ #12019: Very good, but you should be able to have 'gems' for the Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, Amethyst set. (7 years ago)

Nellington @ #12021: I think the monarchs one was way too obscure. Georgia from King George, and Louisiana after King Louis of France is easy enough, but Virginia from Elizabeth I a.k.a. The Virgin Queen? Nah, mate. Too much of a stretch. Same with Carolina, which takes it's name from the Latin derivation of Charles, Carolus. Other than that, a fun grid with lots of clever misdirection. (7 years ago)

Definitely wouldn't file this as easy, what with the uncles and the 6 Coins / 6 Backs - also there's very much an exchangeable set (Nickleback - Quarterback, both file nicely under US Coins) (7 years ago)

chris @ #12138: nice grid (7 years ago)

DF @ #12141: Given the relative simplicity of the board, seems weird to suddenly use "Seasaw", which is either an american folk band... or forgetting that it's "Seesaw", with just t'one a, and two e's. Might advise "Port" as an alternative for that one? My 2c, anyway. (7 years ago)

toast @ #12135: Suggest you start all the entries with capital letters as the neck group stood out by reference to the initial lower case letters. (7 years ago)

Jim Karner @ #12138: Very enjoyable. (7 years ago)

Sid Kneebridge @ #12139: Superb Gridding! just the right level of difficulty. (7 years ago)

DF @ #12139: A lovely challenge. Caught the Macey row rather late, 17 seconds left on the clock. Also many thanks for putting Barney in, I think without that I wouldn't have managed to make the mental link! (7 years ago)

Ivor Biggun @ #12128: Betty you can't have multiple solutions otherwise there's no point! (7 years ago)

redkite @ #495: Yep, agree with both these comments (7 years ago)

RickRoll @ #6112: Good one (7 years ago)

DF @ #12099: "Manchester" wasn't accepted for Bury et. al, which is a touch nonsensical for greater manchester towns. Board was also ignored, which was ???? (Also t'usual complaints about exchangeability from ___Board to what appears to be "Rush" since Skate is applicable to both, as is "Dash" and "Dart") (7 years ago)

toast @ #12109: Congratulations i on not wasting your youth on race courses. Good to soft refers to the state of the track - the "going". Good grid and nice use of Wight and Man as red herrings - no soft options there. Thanks. (7 years ago)

toast @ #12121: I like this a lot but it is also asking a lot of the solver and as you could swap Peter with Paul ( McGann) there is not a unique answer - this is of course subject to a check by Pedant. Nevertheless an enjoyable grid. (7 years ago)

i @ #12109: I don't know about good to soft. Never heard of that. It wouldn't accept men for the bloke group which was disappointing. Liked it though (7 years ago)

Sally @ #7488: Agree with Badger's comment below. Good grid though - thanks. (7 years ago)

chris @ #12099: good grid but why no answers?? why isn't boards accepted and synonyms should be allowed unless you expect us to guess which particular word you want to accept. (7 years ago)

Wiz @ #12107: Nice ideas! Look forward to your next grid. (7 years ago)

Fitz @ #12107: Yeah I now realise there were two errors. The first I was referring to was Sofia (the square was supposed to be Sophia), and the second was getting the Australian capital completely wrong. Oh well. Was my first attempt at one of these. Lessons learned and all that. (7 years ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12091: 'Manes' (7 years ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12092: Hampton would've appreciated a 'baps' line. Still, a seductive, inviting, pillowy grid. (7 years ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #12093: Nicely done, some real puzzlers in there. (7 years ago)

OJ @ #11789: the clues that begin with lower case letters are too obviously linked (7 years ago)

Wiz @ #12107: Was Sofia not the error,Fitz? (7 years ago)

Fitz @ #12107: Oh God it's not the capital is it. *facepalm (7 years ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #12102: Ynot- Words that can be swapped are part and parcel of the puzzle and make the game more enjoyable. (7 years ago)

Correct @ #12094: You're wrong Graham (7 years ago)

i @ #12079: Zero for me too. I could tell it was football. I could also tell I wasn't going to score anything. Probably a good grid if you're into football. (7 years ago)

Fitz @ #12107: Darn, an error in the capitals. Apologies. (7 years ago)

bonehead @ #12101: I got all the links but called them something different so nul points (7 years ago)

Fitz @ #12099: Got all the groups but then "board" was wrong, as was "synonyms for rush", as was "places in lancashire". (7 years ago)

Tom @ #12102: Well i liked this except for the fact it didn't accept story xx (7 years ago)

Oliver @ #11998: Best wall for ages (7 years ago)

Tom @ #12094: Sorry to be a pedant but sheet and block are interchangeable in my view, otherwise this was good! (7 years ago)

Callipygous @ #1708: Marked as a bad grid because of Nameless Salesman error. There should be no mistakes on these grids. (7 years ago)

Pharmd918 @ #12013: Hello!viagra india (7 years ago)

Adam @ #9046: A bit easy, done in 35 seconds, nice grid though. (7 years ago)

Thomas @ #12103: If you can't be bothered to make a grid, don't waste other people's time with it. This is an insult. (7 years ago)

JamesD @ #12102: Once again, you're choosing some very specific categories of knowledge. A fun thing about a good grid is having different clues that could fit into multiple categories, creating a brain teaser working out how they go together. Here, for instance, "Fourth Grade Nothing" meant absolutely nothing to me. I couldn't think of any category it would fit into. I'd also never heard of any of the Disney songs. Now there I do think it's a more reasonable category to go for, and it's on me that I'm ignorant of them; however, that's a set I did get, because despite not knowing any of them I could see that they were different from the other clues. There, you've made it too easy to 'cheat the system'. (7 years ago)

toast @ #12093: Good explanations. Thanks. (7 years ago)

JamesD @ #12101: Sadly, I wasn't so keen on this one. Having the same word twice is not a great idea, and I'd never even heard of the Legend of Korra, so I'd question thinking of that as reasonable general knowledge. In my mind, a good grid has an element of challenge to it, but when you see the solution it makes sense. That's not the case with this one. I see "types of bending" and I'm just as confused as I was at the start. (7 years ago)

toast @ #12100: A challenge for those of us from farther afield but very enjoyable. (7 years ago)

spankyjones @ #12101: sorry, misstyped skate twice. Sorry! (7 years ago)

survivor @ #12099: The theme answers don't seem to be included, but I'm pretty sure they're as follows: Targaryen etc.: Surnames from the TV series "Game of Thrones" Stockport etc.: Boroughs of Greater Manchester, UK Scurry etc.: Synonyms of "hurry" Surf etc.: Words that can precede "board" (7 years ago)

Mike @ #12094: The first line has another equally valid link. That takes a lot of the point out of puzz grid (7 years ago)

Rhys @ #12099: A good grid. Please add explanations for the connections. (7 years ago)

J @ #12099: Easy but wouldn't accept board or hurry as answers (7 years ago)

i @ #12068: Oo? (7 years ago)

i @ #12057: I agree with everything. Engine group is very poor and seems like the author was determined to get it in by any means necessary, which Is weird because it also seems cobbled together last at the minute. (7 years ago)

i @ #12058: You lost all credibility when you claimed to use bing. (7 years ago)

E.L. Wisty @ #12098: Wonderful stuff! (7 years ago)

Wiz @ #12097: Nice grid,creative! Didn't solve but enjoyed..Thankyou. (7 years ago)

Thomas @ #12096: I guessed "synonyms" for the secretive group and was ruled incorrect. (7 years ago)

chris @ #12095: *SYNONYMS. (7 years ago)

chris @ #12095: Need to allow homonyms- hearsay does not necessary mean a false story- merely that it is second hand information rather than from someone who saw something themselves. apart from that decent grid (7 years ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #12092: Wiz and Sue are right. The Great Crested would be a species of newt, (7 years ago)

Jim @ #12081: I'd never heard of SEAT cars, but surely those four items are better known as places in Spain. Nonetheless, easy and fun grid. (7 years ago)

Jeff @ #12079: Hooray. In contrast to the last one I did, this was set for me to get 100% & so, setter, I thank you. I don't want to score 0. Splendid , not too tough, grid. (7 years ago)

Jeff @ #12084: Oh dear. I am sure whoever set this didn't do it with my brains in mind.... (7 years ago)

Al @ #12058: Pedant is just a serial googler who likes to check for multiple solutions no matter how obscure the alternate solution is and how loosely you'd have to use the word "famous". Then again he was kind of justified in doing that with this grid. (7 years ago)

Tom @ #12065: Brilliant! I didn't know about the sea creatures though! (7 years ago)

Tom @ #12068: Really good grid. I put US instead of American and intoxicated instead of under the influence which it didn't accept but that didn't detract from a good puzzle. (7 years ago)

chris @ #12057: nice easy grid- well done (7 years ago)

Tom @ #11748: The phonetic clue was a corker - didn't spot it (7 years ago)

chris @ #12059: Nice grid, good mix of answers that could fall into multiple categories kept me guessing for a while. (7 years ago)

tronkil @ #12056: nice!! (7 years ago)

GeoLaw @ #12050: Thanks for all the feedback! Agreed about Pripiat, it's famous for its abandoned amusement park, but naming the city for this category is a little misleading. I did mean Dolphin fish which is definitely specifically a game fish, but I see how that's maybe a bit of a leap, considering it can easily fit into a broader category under the other definition.

Peacock @ #12044: Agree with Helen, not a very balanced or accessible grid. (7 years ago)

Helen @ #12044: Really annoying to have purely names, especially when you don't watch the shows. Btw guys, Fairy Tail is an anime and is intentionally spelt like that. (7 years ago)

Susan @ #12054: Very creative and original - an excellent grid! (7 years ago)

Wiz @ #12044: Birds have tails.. (7 years ago)

knife @ #11764: Well thought out; bit scary at first but after the Mount Rushmore one it got a bit easier. And I don't think we Brits should protest at the American slant, part of the fun. (7 years ago)

Wiz @ #12050: I hadn't heard of that one, sorry! (7 years ago)

Bobo retd @ #12050: Perhaps he means the Dolphin Fish widely ate in the Carribean (7 years ago)

Helen @ #12050: Enjoyed this, nice simple one however, not happy that abandoned places was not accepted as a correct answer and the answer was listed as abandoned theme parks. Prypiat is an abandoned city (7 years ago)

AK @ #3049: This was a fun one! Red and orange could be swapped and it would still work. (7 years ago)

AK @ #12038: Spot on, BLOFELD. People often get that wrong, but it's spelled Alfa because most NATO nations don't pronounce "ph" as an "f" sound. (7 years ago)

AK @ #12045: This might be a good grid for older children or younger teens (Moana, Pokemon), but adults probably won't know these. (7 years ago)

redkite @ #273: too samey (7 years ago)

BLOFELD @ #12038: Boris Alfa is the correct word for 'A'. I checked the NATO website (7 years ago)

Mister Tom @ #12026: Yeah... Just "synonym" is fine - if the solver has spotted they are synonyms then 99% of the time they aren't synonyms of one particular word. And even if they are, you still have to get the phrasing exactly right if you want the solver to be specific. (7 years ago)

BLOFELD @ #12026: My first attempt at a grid so thanks for the feedback and sorry for making you so MAD. Personally I think accepting purely 'synonyms' is not enough. Synonyms for what? It's like allowing 'words' as an answer. Granted i could have picked a few more words to accept. Will try harder next time. (7 years ago)

survivor @ #129: redkite, Designing Women was an American TV sitcom, reasonably popular in its day (1986-1993). However, its cast had five core characters, and of the names in this grid, only Bouvier is one of them. The other three names in this grid belong to secondary recurring characters, like B. J. Poteet, who appeared in 22 of the 163 episodes. Even to someone who watched the series (24 years ago), this set of secondary names would be obscure. (7 years ago)

chris @ #12026: If you're going to go for synonyms then you should really allow synonyms to be a valid answer. I put synonyms for mental as all the other words similar were already on the grid and you've put Synonyms for mad as the answer!!! THAT'S ALREADY ONE OF THE WORDS IN THE LINE- THIS MADE ME ANGRY!!!! (HENCE THE CAPITALS) as it ruined what would otherwise be a very good grid. (7 years ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #12007: A rabbit punch is a blow to the back of the head or to the base of the skull. It is considered especially dangerous because it can damage the cervical vertebrae and subsequently the spinal cord, which may lead to serious and irreparable spinal cord injury. (7 years ago)

gnu @ #11995: I don't buy into this "no one's keeping score" argument as a reason not to point out errors in gridmaking. What's the point in the boxes to type in the connections at all then? They're part of the game. (7 years ago)

Blues @ #11978: Sorry guys about the confusion with Axel Rose, Axl Rose... I was thinking of Mr (Axel) Rose who used to live two doors down from me when I was a teenager, easily confused with the rock icon Axl Rose I agree. Nevertheless the grid conforms to the answers regardless of who the name is intended to be. (I also could have used Axl and stated Ax as the weapon.) Hope you caught the correct bus Toast.

toast @ #11970: Pretty good. Even better if you had expanded some explanations a bit as many people will think it is Geoff Boycott included in the Birdseye line. (7 years ago)

i @ #11976: A koala isn't a bear. And collective nouns wasn't accepted. (7 years ago)

poppy @ #11964: too obscure hard to think of so many first names and a connection in the time. (7 years ago)

poppy @ #11966: answers need to be more succinct, e.g. accept eyes as well as thi9ngs with eyes in. (7 years ago)

Julia Bee @ #11936: First line too obscure. Down on the corner? Scotch Corner not that well known unless you're from the north of England (7 years ago)

survivor @ #566: DLG HTF L! I especially liked FLSH as a crossover because it exploited the ambiguity of the missing vowel, whereas STRG HT was the same word either way. (7 years ago)

survivor @ #4690: Interesting how the academic themes are universal (logical paradoxes, scientists for whom elements are named), while household phrases that every British child must know (kitchen roll, drinking chocolate) are unknown to me as an American adult. But like HughHugh, I don't know the butcher paradox, and Google doesn't help. Can anyone explain that one? (7 years ago)

RowG @ #11924: Didn't accept sidekicks as answer (7 years, 1 month ago)

survivor @ #11946: Tampa Bay Storm is an arena football team; that's the item that gave me that theme because it was clearly a phrase-based group, and a phrase beginning with a city is often a sports team. (I later learned Melbourne Storm is a rugby team.) I hadn't heard of the rhubarb triangle either (probably not well known outside the UK), but it was fun to learn about it, and I think the other three were easy enough to clue the theme on their own. Fred, the answer should probably have said "___ triangle." (7 years, 1 month ago)

If you have a good idea, look for a better one: River would have fitten in better, as would Bolt (!!). The -ink group is tooo obvious as it is - it could be made to work but needed a few more potential red herrings in it (or be made to consist entirely of herring). (7 years, 1 month ago)

i @ #11950: No, I'm sorry but no. This is poor. Words ending ink wasn't accepted and this isn't a great link anyway. Things that run?? If by refrigerators running you mean they're switched on that is far to general to use as a link. Likewise TV shows don't 'run' in a sense strong enough for a link. I've never used the term running to refer to a TV show. I wouldn't mind it for cars. Referring to a car running is a normal everyday phrase. Chairs aren't unique to kitchens. In fact I'm struggling to think or anyone I know who has a chair in their kitchen. It also sounds American, generally in the UK workop used instead of counter.

survivor @ #11906: As a middle-aged American, I'd heard of all four electric phrases. To me, "electric train" refers to the toy, like a model train set. You can tell we're living in the future when things are presumed to be electrical unless otherwise specified. To mess with my younger coworkers, maybe I'll start saying "electric computer" to distinguish it from a slide rule. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #11807: It is hard,but not impossible ...varied and fun I think. By the way, Blues always gives full explanations in my experience. Sometimes they continue below the box. (7 years, 1 month ago)

LK @ #11807: Yes my screen clearly doesn't display all the rows then, apologies on that. I'd say it was about as hard as a grid gets personally, and I've played a lot of them, but maybe I'm just in bad form. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Nmcc @ #11811: Letters aren't necessarily public. Written word not accepted...? (7 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #11807: LK: Sometimes you just can't win can you ? The last grid I submitted someone suggested it wasn't ambiguous enough so I added a touch of ambiguity. I wouldn't call it stupidly hard, just hard (that's why there is a rating system.) Incidentally there is a description of "Catch as catch" it's at the bottom and quite succinct... Its possible that your screen does not display all the rows. Criticism is fine as long as its accurate... and not aimed at me ! (Just jesting) More beer required. (Cheers Wiz.)

Wiz @ #11785: I sort of can ,would hate to be less than adequate ion the ambiguity area. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #11785: Wiz, it seems that people thought it was either a caterpillar smoking a pipe (not an everyday occurrence I'm sure you will agree) or a chap with a long nose etc... I think he'd been on the gin when he drew it. (If you can't see both then you are not ambiguous enough.) (7 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #11785: Mister Tom: Thank you, yes, there are a plethora of Captains waiting to be part of these grids, perhaps you have found the key to gridding immortality. My intention was to make it fairly easy to solve. If its ambiguity you are after then this sits perfectly with part of the theme of the grid. Take a look at Sir John Tenniel's drawing of the caterpillar in "Alice in Wonderland" and excellent example of afore mention ambiguity. Is it a man or caterpillar. I need a beer or wine or something... (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11785: I think this would have been better if you had just put "Kirk" rather than the full name- half the fun's in the ambiguity and it wouldn't be making the grid too hard. ( You could also include flint, caveman, hastings, haddock or America;-> ) (7 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #11784: Surely you have missed out the animation of Rudyard Kipling's novel as one of your favourites? The songs alone are genius. With regards to the spoilers debate... Even if I read one I still fail miserably. Inevitably I read them after I have spent three minutes looking cluelessly at the grid and then revealing the answers. So they cease to be spoilers, just normally gripes... But Hey, back to Walt (spoiler alert)... "Do be do, I wanna be like you ou ou" Fantastic. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Claret @ #11785: Mike I find it totally understandable why you are fed up. I too have lost vital points due to such incompetence.

toast @ #11785: Beefheart takes me back - certainly not Safe as Milk, more of a red herring for the mad hatter group if anything. Mind you ,apart from me and thee. .... and at times I'm not too sure about me. It's a mad world Blues. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #11784: I don't agree with you, but I think others will. (7 years, 1 month ago)

gnu @ #11784: I've noticed a few people recently have given very vague comments to avoid giving spoilers. Just go ahead and give the spoilers. There's a spoiler warning next to the "view comments about all grids" link anyway, and anyone with any sense who doesn't want spoilers plays the grids first before reading comments anyway.

the big i @ #11783: Thanks for the feedback gents. It was my first attempt. Much appreciated. Mike - Which word doesn't exist though? The order you answer them in could be different to the order I made it so the third or second lines could vary. And which answer is too limited? Can I change it after it's been submitted?

Please @ #11779: 8ball,your memory did not include the title! (7 years, 1 month ago)

8ball @ #11779: Nice red herrings, Bad Interpreter was a hilarious film from what I remember of it. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Chigley @ #11779: Fun. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Dave @ #11778: Too easy (7 years, 1 month ago)

Dave @ #11773: Utter rubbish (7 years, 1 month ago)

Noel @ #11763: Nice one bro. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Horatio @ #11777: Bob's right, it's Nelson's column. (7 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #11778: Bruce should be acceptable (7 years, 1 month ago)

Chigley @ #11776: Good! So many red herrings, though! (7 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #11740: Tricky one. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Pedant @ #11777: *row bob, not column! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #11777: Yep, nelson had two eyes, the fact that he was in the one column spoiled it for me (7 years, 1 month ago)

Pedant @ #11777: Nelson had two eyes! (7 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #11776: very clever, but the red herrings defeated me (7 years, 1 month ago)

bonehead @ #11777: amusing approach (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11773: Deserves a higher rating (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #11684: the dog answer was really obscure (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #11686: Good (7 years, 1 month ago)

Jim @ #11764: I don't usually like themed grids, but I enjoyed this one because the links weren't far-fetched. For example, every American trivia buff knows which four Presidents are on Mount Rushmore. I realize this grid would be difficult for someone outside the United States, but Americans should know these sets. (However, I connected the banknotes set under an alternative link: those Presidents each served for exactly two full terms.) (7 years, 1 month ago)

Nfc @ #11774: Can't see any errors myself, thought it was a really good grid (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sue p @ #11774: Mike, we don't know which lines you are talking about, first?, third? It depends on which order you have selected them, *face palm (7 years, 1 month ago)

CSW @ #11764: Really good -- though the banknotes one is super-obscure. (7 years, 1 month ago)

TheChemist @ #11759: Thanks Mister Tom! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #11774: The third line is plain wrong. One word is wrong; I won't explain which as I don't want to spoil it. I also query the answer to the first line; there are other answers. (7 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #11615: Excellent. One of these ones where I thought afterwards "Oh, should have got that!" (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #7529: Enjoyed this grid - thanks (7 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #11774: In fact none of that row are actually words (7 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #11774: The clues don't have to be words mister tom (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11759: So there is! Nice. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11774: Nice idea but for me, too many of the Iot group weren't words (7 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #11774: Enjoyed but read the capital I in Iot as a lower case l ( I And L)so I mixed myself up. I should have realised as all the other words had capitals. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #11773: Nice one,crossovers did for me! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #11763: Very clever (7 years, 1 month ago)

Prefix @ #11769: Prefixes, not words? (7 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #4252: I think some people ,lesser mortals such as I,have just looked at the grid and grouped the words in the most obvious way. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Caeser @ #4252: There are a lot of Roman scholars on this site. (7 years, 1 month ago)

PM @ #11741: It's not Cab driver though, it's a slang term for taxi driver. (7 years, 1 month ago)

tad sketchy @ #4252: how is this rated easy? (7 years, 1 month ago)

AM @ #11741: Cab driver is a taxi driver! (7 years, 1 month ago)

A @ #11764: You are allowed to know things from outside your own country Sally. (7 years, 1 month ago)

TheChemist @ #11766: Enjoyed thar (7 years, 1 month ago)

TheChemist @ #11764: Sorry Sally. I agree that it is tricky but thought that one group could only be 4 presidents, cutting down the options for the other groups. The perils of trying a themed grid! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Miss Slink @ #11763: Niche, but made me smile. And I wouldn't say any of these were unguessable. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #11751: Well done - the body parts escaped me! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #11756: Not enough key words for comic partners. I got the link but was not accredited the answer. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #11764: No use for anyone in UK - recognised presidents, but no more. Too specific to US, but thanks for the effort. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #11766: Too good for me! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #2159: I enjoyed this grid - thanks! (7 years, 1 month ago)

Sally @ #2161: Not a great grid for me. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Festeron @ #11723: People in your family? Not common knowledge, is it? (7 years, 1 month ago)

Festeron @ #11718: "Olympics" should be accepted (7 years, 1 month ago)

Flank @ #11766: I never bother to try and give a correct answer anymore because of this. I just find out by putting in anything and as long as it's near what I'm thinking I'm happy. After all the score isn't being recorded anywhere for a competition and only you know for your own satisfaction. (7 years, 1 month ago)

gnu @ #11764: I thought this would be a nightmare when I saw it was all presidents but the connections were very reasonable. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Shin @ #11766: Very easy to solve, ridiculously specific accepted answers. How much more than just "ium" did we really need to write? (7 years, 1 month ago)

Alex @ #11755: Getting the answer phrased correctly is challenging task for the setter in some cases. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #11755: Not sure about this, particularly the last line. I said mental activity and was marked incorrect. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Claret @ #10397: Thanks for this Bleus. Just wanted some claretificaton. (7 years, 1 month ago)

TheChemist @ #11759: Ynot - there is a hairpiece synonym group .... (7 years, 1 month ago)

Dom @ #11746: Quite easy but a good grid nonetheless. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Dom @ #11758: Good, simple grid. Well thought-out. (7 years, 1 month ago)

8ball @ #11243: Bob - Franz Ferdinand is the less successful brother of footballers Rio and Anton. Don't know about Paddy McGuinness, maybe a one time corporate logo/mascot for Guinness. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Ynot @ #11759: Great grid - I'm guessing Where was the red herring? (7 years, 1 month ago)

Grumpy @ #11723: When I said that the link for each of the first 3 lines was "Rhyme" I was marked "Incorrect" even though that's exactly what the "correct" answer said (albeit unnecessarily verbosely). (7 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #11243: Who the hell are Franz Ferdinand and Paddy Mcguiness? (7 years, 1 month ago)

republic @ #11015: too specific (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #11763: Some of the squares are unguessable and incomprehensible (7 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #10397: Nicely raised point Claret, my guess is probably not but the words in question are agranams of each other not a single subject. Would the collective noun for Claret be cartel? A cartel of claret.... Need a glass of red now. (7 years, 1 month ago)

TheChemist @ #11759: Thanks for the comments. My first submitted grid. Sorry you didn't enjoy it JJ. Mister Tom - there is a red herring group but maybe I see it because I set it! :-) (7 years, 1 month ago)

Brit @ #11718: Nope, because you'd be spelling it wrong. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11744: Yeah, I probably should have gone for something more obvious in the carpenter group. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11759: really liked the weave group. maybe neded a red herring or two? Or maybe i just cant see them. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Mister Tom @ #11760: Really liked the corn group. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Berioeu @ #11737: Good! Specially words before cat. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Marvin @ #11750: Very nice. Liked all the overlap between the K's (7 years, 1 month ago)

Marvin @ #11748: Nice grid, but the if you're going to do a "they can all be followed by X" group I think it's better to be consistent about the X is a separate word or is added to the clue to make one word. Here, you've got three where the adding something makes new words, and one where adding something makes a new two-word phrase. Just neater to be consistent (7 years, 1 month ago)

St Vincent Bruce @ #11745: Tend to agree with Nigeria and Gambia. (7 years, 1 month ago)

knife @ #11589: Good stuff. Nice light-hearted approach while still testing. Only quibble (I found the groups of 3 a cheeky wee twist): I think it might have been more guessable to give the surnames of the rugby players. But, as I say, I quibble (7 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #11750: Nicely done,Clamzie!thankyou. (7 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #10397: Saxy: Thank you for the marvellous musical missive. When I wrote the grid (not wishing to blow my own trumpet, or...) I didn't even consider saxophones but now you mention it then it seems a plausible option although the solution is acceptable. Sally: You are not incorrect, but surely that is what an anagram is?

george @ #11741: think the connections are a bit vague. they should all fit into one category of thing, really, so a description of a profession and someone from profession aren't really a proper group. e.g. I'd decided M**** h*** t** K******** & C*b** couldn't be in the same group because they're not examples of a shared thing.

Graham Linehan @ #11558: Everybody knows pat mustard!! (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11558: More explanations would have been appreciated. For example, I doubt too many people know that Pat Mustard was a milkman in an episode of Father Ted. By chance I did know that but was clueless about some of the others. If the links are too obscure, the fun factor sinks. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11699: Hills and Brooker, assuming we are talking about Adam hills and alex Brooker, should be two legs. (They each only have one leg) this error spoilt the grid for me as I kept putting them in a two leg group) (7 years, 2 months ago)

Alex @ #11702: Spoilers! They do spoil... (7 years, 2 months ago)

SteMcK @ #11692: Awesome (7 years, 2 months ago)

lou @ #10369: who is Captain Planet (7 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy @ #11689: I honestly nearly put "Mulder" in but thought it would have been taking the piss a bit with Robin Hood already there. I would have put him in for Mr Tod though and still kept Fox. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Klaus @ #11691: Have these themed grids with no crossovers not been done to death yet? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Dingwall @ #11691: I wrote Koln with no umlaut and this was not accepted. Otherwise good. (7 years, 2 months ago)

gready @ #11686: not bad at all (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11541: Nice inventive grid - leading to cheerful exchange of comments! - but I thought the alliterative group weakened things somewhat (7 years, 2 months ago)

Hargeo @ #11116: Some nice work with the overlapping smart/stylish groups, but think homophones is really too vague for a connection. (7 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #11690: pretty good, liked the Dr Who red herrings. Scottish actors a bit of a stretch (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11689: In a way Fox is confusing though.good grid. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mr Derek @ #11689: Would have prefered Basil instead of Fox which is a bit obvious ( the answer being in the clue). (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11690: To be sure,it was great. (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #2844: Fun! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #2846: Clever! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #2848: Tricky! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #2850: Super! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ruiz @ #11689: Basil too obvious, back in the broom cupboard where he belongs. (7 years, 2 months ago)

scoobydont @ #11690: Amazing :-) (7 years, 2 months ago)

Jimmy @ #11689: I disagree. I think including Basil Brush instead of Fox would have been a mistake. Plus I actually did watch The Animals of Farthing Wood as a kid, but never watched anything with Basil Brush in it, so I guess I'm biased when it comes to foxes. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Phyllis @ #11689: Nice. RH's foxiness hit me like an arrow after I spent ages thinking if him as a green wearer. Seems a shame to include Fox itself in the grid. Where's Basil Brush? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Laruchka @ #11677: This was the first of yours so far where I thought I had all 10 points, but, "Internet abbreviations" was not an accepted phrase for the connection. Sad face. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Lieven @ #11578: Fun grid. The hidden imperial measurements was a fun one I didn't spot. I disagree with Ynot on Doctor Who and Frankenstein; think both are fair enough as "misnomers". I'm not sure I can say the same about American Indians. An inaccurate and offensive name, sure, but the people that came up with the term were in no doubt over who referred to, unlike Dr Who, Frankenstein and Big Ben, where later users of the names ignore their original meanings. Yes, I know Dr Who was credited as such but still rarely referred to that way in dialogue, and I think the overwhelming evidence is in favour of him/her! being called The Doctor. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ray @ #11688: Nice to see that when I put in "Leeds United are shit", the answer came up "correct". (7 years, 2 months ago)

saxy @ #10397: Types of saxophones should be an acceptable answer, as should vocal parts (more accurate than vocal range). Sax answer is better than the vocal one because standard SATB for vocal means soprano, alto, tenor, bass (not baritone), but the standard sax section in a big band is soprano, alto, tenor, baritone. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Eden Kane @ #11614: Ditto (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11609: But why should they be *impossible*? Ben Wheatley is a director whose star has risen rapidly over the past few years - his last two films (Free Fire and High Rise) have, in the UK at least, been fairly big releases each with major name actors in. You don't need to have be a massive cinema nerd to recognise at least some of his back catalogue. As for the Wray group - I think Fay Wray and Link Wray are both reasonably well known names. The other two in the group are perhaps more obscure, but again, you don't need to know all four to guess the connection. I honestly don't think those groups are any more impossible to get then any of the ones on this site that focus on a specific sports team or TV show. (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11535: Inventive, but shaded off into the obscure. Bournemouth players? Unlikely to fit into most people's general knowledge. Appreciated learning what ephyna meant though. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Bobby @ #11669: A nice idea and some clever overlaps but I think there is more than one correct solution. i.e. Panther and Falcon could swap groups and the answers would still make sense. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #1726: Car models foxed me! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #1735: Did not accept water transport as an answer for the first group. I don't think a pedolo is really a boat. Otherwise a good grid - thanks. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #19: It accepts anagrams now! (7 years, 2 months ago)

3456619 @ #11645: Nice one 1731486. Ok if I call you 173 for short or is that too familiar ? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Oscar Rabin @ #11576: Classy (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11637: No one is keeping score other than yourself - if you know you got it right, then that's all that matters, right? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11644: Though you do seem to have posted the same grid several times - you can't make me blush *that* much, y'know... (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11644: Ooooh, you scamp! You'll make a dame blush. (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11511: Amtrak train stops perhaps a shade off the beaten track, otherwise nice variety (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ynot @ #11578: Doctor Who is the name of the doctor. The Master revealed that he choose this as his name. Similarly Frankenstein is widely accepted as the monster's name as well give that he refers to Dr Frankenstein as his father and is given no other name. Other than that a pretty decent grid (7 years, 2 months ago)

WiZ @ #11628: I hadn't thought of that....I hope it wasn't intentional actually. (7 years, 2 months ago)

WiZ @ #11636: Good one for beginners, crossover there too. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Tiegan Glass @ #11637: Why do the connections need to be exactly right? In the show, they only need to say one word to be right. This is stupid. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11608: Of course. I see now and apologies for obtuseness and time-wasting etc. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Dainamite @ #11608: Yes (7 years, 2 months ago)

Robbo @ #11627: Nice one, excellent answer descriptions. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11611: Fun, but infuriating :-) fair enough. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Me @ #11565: Tak (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miste Tom @ #11609: The one that weren't drum and bridge (7 years, 2 months ago)

Reine @ #11628: Excellent, one of your best efforts. Like the naughty use of a knight of the realm as a red herring. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Doctor Jekyll @ #11609: I agree with Mister Tom , the alphabet and film groups feel as if they should be in a separate grid to the remaining groups. However music and art became more discordant in the 20th century and so maybe Miss Slink is the new Prokokiev/Picasso of grid composing. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Me @ #11560: I second Zbj (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11609: Which two groups did you feel were impossible, Mister Tom? (7 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #11581: Liked the eyes line. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11625: Neat,I should've got it but I didn't! I think rhythm is how it's spelt though (7 years, 2 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #11612: Straightforward,but very good fun. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pol @ #11618: I think so! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pol @ #11608: And was it ? (7 years, 2 months ago)

scoobydont @ #11619: Out of this world ;-) (7 years, 2 months ago)

gnu @ #11611: Ok, my criticism not being contructive is a fair enough point. You didn't make that point until just now though. Your first comment just appeared to say "if you don't (appear to) make grids then don't ever criticize them". I don't buy into this "free entertainment" argument either, they're more entertaining to make than to play if anything. But like I said, I do see where you're coming from about not being constructive. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11615: Actually surprisingly enjoyable. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11611: Whether or not I agree with it's irrelevant; I've had the decency to try and explain why ( which to be fair you usually do). You've taken the time to comment but all you said was "it's rubbish" ; that's just moaning that your free entertainment isn't up to the standard you've come to expect. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11608: And there was me thinking it was deliberately done as a dig at pedantry. Sigh. Nice grid though (7 years, 2 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #11616: Good fun, well constructed. (7 years, 2 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #11619: Great stuff! (7 years, 2 months ago)

GarryC @ #14: Dwarves not dwarfs and synonms (7 years, 2 months ago)

zom @ #11595: thanks for the advice it was my first grid (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #4223: Loved it! (7 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #11608: Enjoyed the grid. Who's going to argue with that ? (7 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #11617: Decent grid with a nice theme. Would have scored it higher if there had been more variety but then you can't have everything especially if you are new. Thanks. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sweep @ #11553: Was Brian Blessed Soo? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #402: Some naughty red herrings here! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #404: Reasonable grid, some tricky red herrings! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #416: Very specific knowledge required for the last group - a game I've never heard of! Otherwise a good grid. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mr Tomisat Wat @ #11616: Decent enough grid overall but I still don't like the inconsistency between full names, first names and last names within the same group. (7 years, 2 months ago)

AlanP @ #11618: Dubious about two of the anagrams. Shouldn't an anagram of a word be another word ? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Kit @ #11608: Sorry Miss Slink.think about it carefully and re-read! It's who's! (7 years, 2 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10612: Strictly speaking HIV and ELO are not acronyms either. If they were, when spoken they would rhyme with 'give' and 'yellow' (7 years, 2 months ago)

Zbj @ #11616: Very pleased with myself for this one. Five stars. (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #4189: Sorry it didn't accept 'moor' ! Win some, lose some! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #4189: Sorry it didn't accept 'moor' ! Win some, lose some! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #4189: Sorry it didn't accept 'moor' ! Win some, lose some! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pol @ #11608: I think my money is on who's! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #4260: First time I've got word contained in word! Thanks! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Edgy @ #11541: I am on good days. (7 years, 2 months ago)

*grid note* @ #11615: I meant to call the grid "mrtomisatwat" but it didn't fit. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11609: A bit of variation is a good thing... This felt to me there were two groups which stood out immediately and two I had no possiblility of getting. I guess I should have guessed randomly among them while I could! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11609: Um...is that a good thing? I think one particular group is probably a bit harder than the others, but by the process of elimination you should be able to put them together, even if you're not sure what the actual link between them is. Also, I tried to cover a variety of areas of knowledge (as I do with all my grids), so hopefully most people were able to recognise at least something. (7 years, 2 months ago)

gnu @ #11611: I don't have to make a grid under the name "gnu" just to be able to express an opinion. An opinion you agree with anyway. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Me @ #11541: Are you all the same person? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11612: Nice variations. ( a pedant might quibble refreshers meeting your definition but it's clear enough;) (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11611: @gnu please, do show us how it's done.... Having said which, 3 of the four groups being so much of a kind was a bit much, especially if you get the Kiribati group first. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11609: Somewhat Schizophrenic difficulty! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Peter Sarstedt @ #11614: This grid is awesome, it was challenging and gripping, I'll take a healthy 7/10. More like this please (7 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #11576: Very imaginative thanks. (7 years, 2 months ago)

gnu @ #11611: Uninspired grid to say the least. (7 years, 2 months ago)

gnu @ #11610: I did like the calculator group but also didn't like "goozle". You could have just used "ooze" or something like that. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Alex @ #11594: Indeed they are both. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11611: Sounds simple but beat me! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Jerome @ #11608: Miss Slink.thats bad grammar! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pol @ #5464: Not sure about all the triangular numbers either. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss C @ #5464: 1 is not a prime number (7 years, 2 months ago)

JeSuis @ #11594: Or both... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Ham_United_F.C. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11608: I am going to have to retire gracefully I think. (7 years, 2 months ago)

GarryC @ #11594: Scunthorpe are the Iron, West Ham being the Hammers! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11608: That's clearer if I do this.'whose number is more'. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11608: I thought it was clear contraction of who has. Whose chromosomes number is more would be OK.am I totally wrong? Help! A (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11608: Soz, Wiz... (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11608: Actually Wiz (sorry to be taking over Pedant's role again), "whose" is correct. Who's = who is. Whose = to whom they belong to. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11608: Irony MrTom? It should be who's. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11610: Ah yes! Thankyou! I get it now... (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11608: Perhaps your husband is not worthy of you. Perhaps - gasp! - it is HE who is the potato! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11608: Obviously I would like to think so, miss slink. However I fear my husband would definitely go with the potato. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11608: Nice use of "whose" in the insult. (And you've reminded me of an idea which at some point I'm going to steal;) (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11583: Some time ago I adopted the approach that If I knew what the connection was, then the score didn't matter... Nice use of agape (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11608: I know, and I don't even charge you guys for it. Aren't you lucky? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11610: P.S. Wiz, they all have a line of horizontal symmetry. Imagine laying a mirror through the middle of each of them. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11610: I may be stepping into Pedant's territory here (sorry dude), but is goozle actually a proper word? I can only find sources referring to it as (largely archaic) slang, used mainly in very specific parts of America. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11610: Sorry SWIMS! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11610: And does SWiM really work? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11610: A killer grid! I don't understand the HOB group,but it's probably just my feeble brain. (7 years, 2 months ago)

João Lorenzo @ #2059: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXelqs0oMJUJ06P7awnjY_g (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wizz @ #11608: This was a fascinating grid. Thankyou! Miss Slink,you are a merciless tease! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Me @ #11534: Domo Arigato (7 years, 2 months ago)

Me @ #11533: Nice one but now I know that I am not letting her change the plug (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11608: You wouldn't say you're sweet and juicy like a delicious strawberry, Pedant? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11589: Blues ,you are incorrigible!dont disappear! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Tbone @ #11595: Have to agree with Miss Slink, you can't list 8 geographical places and expect people to know they all link to 1 band. A little bit too specialist. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ian @ #11572: I'm with Pernickerty, nice grid apart from Hungarian :-) (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11487: Good stuff - chemical elements perhaps a shade on the obscure side (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11608: Excellent grid. Miss slink, I'm definitely more potato than the others. Haters gunna hate, potatoes gunna potate! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11608: Strawberries, chinchillas, sheep, potatoes, tobacco plants, carp and hedgehogs also beat humans in the chromosome stakes. Pedant, do you fit into any of those categories? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #11589: Toast, Wiz, Pedant, kevin, thank you for the observation and comment. I thought it would be a little different to create a grid with "groups of three" when "groups of four" is the norm. Achieving this made me almost as proud as the time I climbed to the top of the floodlights at Cardiff City's old stadium after a dozen beers, and I am hopeless with heights. On reflection I think they are groups of four... Incidentally when I saw those floodlights the next day, when I was relatively sober, I nearly broke out into a cold sweat, they were about a mile high. But it was a dare, I was drunk and had standards to maintain. Nice to chat again chaps. (7 years, 2 months ago)

windywendy @ #11509: Good. Glad my knowledge of French came in handy (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ray @ #11608: So essentially you're saying pedant is more likely to be a chimp than a human. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11591: Yes (7 years, 2 months ago)

AlanP @ #11595: Do you have a caps lock? (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #5801: Super! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Dylan @ #11602: It was not bad but it has to have more to it (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #5873: Got me thinking! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #5888: Excellent! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #5889: Super fun! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #5983: Loved it! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6002: Very clever! (7 years, 2 months ago)

GavinJ @ #11601: Enjoyed this, although will now have that song going around my head all day! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11595: Constructive criticism, meant with the best of intentions: this grid would be much, much better if two of the links weren't about the same band. One link is fine, two is pushing it out of general knowledge territory somewhat. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pol @ #6139: Not a red herring in sight,that may have helped. (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6110: Keep getting caught out on hidden words!! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6111: I made it difficult and only scored six!!! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6139: Yay! I got ten!!! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6140: Great fun! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6164: Very good and enjoyable. (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6164: Very good and enjoyable. (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6167: Found this difficult but keep trying! Well done! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6170: Sorry that my answer of beach was rejected. You can have a holiday with none of the things mentioned! (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC4 @ #6172: Enjoyed! (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11482: Links poorly explained (7 years, 2 months ago)

knife @ #11479: Too obscure (apart from the Scottish cities) to be particularly entertaining. Also not very clearly explained; thanks to Pedant for enlightening me. (7 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #11589: Blues, good to see that they have let you back in the country. And that you have retained that idiosyncratic charm. Personally I have never been accused of having standards so I would know nothing about those. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Floppy @ #11591: Do you even understand,,Pedant,the nature of red herrings? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11589: I think you have pedantically missed Blues' point. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Henry @ #11521: Nice (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11589: Maybe after your prolonged discourse you should've concluded that it would be better to make groups of four, that being the nature of the game an'all (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11595: *Aberdeen (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sue4 @ #6821: Clever! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Pedant @ #11591: Not a unique solution I'm afraid, you can exchange Napoleon and mr jones (Napoleon being in animal farm and mr jones being in dads army) You can also swap Gloriana and Bloody Mary (Gloriana being a cocktail an d Bloody Mary being a queens nickname) not your best grid (7 years, 2 months ago)

MillyMollyMandy @ #11591: I enjoyed this and managed to complete the grid which pleased me (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #9179: He wears a white mask in the Halloween films? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11589: And very nice it was too! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #11589: Ah... Standards! We make our own. As far as I understand I have no obligation to conform to any preset criteria. I wanted to form groups of three, then after a prolonged discourse with myself I did exactly that. All (7 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #11589: Ah... Standards! We make our own. As far as I understand I have no obligation to conform to any preset criteria. I wanted to form groups of three, then after a prolonged discourse with myself I did exactly that. All (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #9179: Interesting grid. Got full marks by guessing! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #9186: Nice grid, thank-you. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #9187: So, 'fruits' doesn't count, but 'names of fruits' does? Sorry, but that is just rubbish. Otherwise a fairly straight forward grid. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #11583: I agree with gnu (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11572: Good choice of Herrings (7 years, 2 months ago)

kevin @ #11589: It is not standard to have the category of the group be an element of the group---does make it easier, though. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #11589: Cheers Wiz, doing a bit of the outdoor stuff and having the odd beer as the weather permits. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #6140: Destroying angel I thought! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #8473: Not enough key words in answers. I felt I got all the sections correct, but was penalised by 'narrow' answers. If it hadn't been for this I would have said it was a good grid, but due to limited answers, rubbish! So sorry, but I feel this is a FAIR comment. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #11572: Ditto Pernickety (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #9949: An interesting grid. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #9955: An enjoyable grid - thank you. (7 years, 2 months ago)

The Real Billy the Kid @ #11503: Imposter (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11591: Very nice,very challenging and clever!good clues, but didn't help me much! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11589: Thanks Blues! Good grid. Missed you lately,hope you well (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11580: Neat grid!thanks for all the grids! You've been busy! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11579: Fun grid! Thankyou! (7 years, 2 months ago)

AlanP @ #11586: Bit silly when the answer is in the clue. Poor effort. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11586: Really good variety of links here! Quite easy too, but that that's no bad thing. (7 years, 2 months ago)

gnu @ #11583: It's irritating when people use four synonyms and then don't accept just "synonyms" as an answer. We're supposed to guess the exact alternative synonym you've deemed an acceptable answer. (7 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #11578: Good interesting grid. (7 years, 2 months ago)

fiddy @ #11580: good grid man (7 years, 2 months ago)

Gary @ #11579: Thank you, that was quite enjoyable. (7 years, 2 months ago)

SueC @ #9875: That was fun! (7 years, 2 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #11572: Full house but didn't accept "Hungarian". (I'm having that one). (7 years, 2 months ago)

Sally @ #1405: Despite other comments ,I found this a bit tricky - but fair. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11576: Very creative thinking here! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Tarp @ #11574: Good grid! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11574: Oh,that was a tough one!good,tho! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Um @ #184: Can't "hat" and "dog" switch places? I think it's ambiguous for those two, since both fit both categories. (7 years, 2 months ago)

Omegaman @ #11562: Wouldn't accept firearms for the gun group 😟 (7 years, 2 months ago)

Alicz @ #10899: Here we go again! (7 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #10899: Maybe most common metal? Or of earth's crust/core? Please cite source re: Fe is most common element. There's a mistake there somewhere. Otherwise - GREAT GRID! :) (7 years, 2 months ago)

H @ #6140: I don't think Abaddon is a personification of evil, rather the "underworld". (=Sheol?) (7 years, 2 months ago)

Alice @ #11569: I'm with you there,gnu! (7 years, 2 months ago)

gnu @ #11569: That was some kind of lateral thinking there, bonehead. This was the easiest grid I've played in a long time. (7 years, 2 months ago)

JeSuis @ #11570: (7 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #11568: I put asian countries for name changers - marked right; and Caribbean places for the kokomo group -still marked right. (7 years, 2 months ago)

bonehead @ #11569: the counselling one. I put forms of transport (sub and bus; car; ship, but couldn't work out crisis. However, my suggestion was marked right! heigh-ho (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ragman @ #11558: Cliff Clavin (7 years, 2 months ago)

Ian @ #11554: Tricky one, but good (7 years, 2 months ago)

Mary Piper @ #11541: Thanks for including me Miss Slinky , it's never nice to be left out. However I do feel intimidated by all the other fruit which includes the tomato. Couldn't you have had say a variety of Turnip instead of the tomato to make things more evenly balanced? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11541: I think you did that very well! (7 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #11554: Yes,agree! Engine rattle? (7 years, 2 months ago)

Zbj @ #11554: Very good. Would just have liked a bit more explanation as there were one or two that I don't know how they fit in. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Zbj @ #11554: Very good. Would just have liked a bit more explanation as there were one or two that I don't know how they fit in. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wj @ #2127: Fun. But quite easy, done it in seconds (7 years, 3 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #11550: Please can we get the correct terminology, poets laureate. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #8441: Spot on grid! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11541: Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I included Maris Piper in the fruits 'n' veg round as it's fairly well known and I wanted to make sure the grid was gettable at a general knowledge level. I've been accused of making my grids a bit too esoteric in the past, and wanted to create something that was tricky without being impossible for non-foodies! (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11449: Great fun, excellent. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Harbour Terylene @ #11550: Wouldn't say it was arbitrary but more like cynically deliberate just to make the grid work. My blood boils that people do this in order to manufacture the links and increase the difficulty. (7 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #9116: Good to see you back. Still only got rubbish score but like you that's what I get on my old grids . Must brush up my Pokémon or that seems likely to carry on generally these days until we get back to the Golden Years of yesterday! (7 years, 3 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9116: Just tried this old grid of mine from Dec16 and got 2 out of 10!! (7 years, 3 months ago)

gnu @ #11550: *arbitrarily (7 years, 3 months ago)

gnu @ #11550: To give the first names of two of the poet laureates but not the other two, completely arbitraritly, was a cheap trick. Really poor grid. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pol @ #11541: Sorry! I meant mistaken for! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pol @ #11541: You are just worried about being missed for a potato. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Mary Piper @ #11541: Great grid but wondering if it could have been even better. The fruit and veg group is a bit generic and could have been fruits only by replacing the potato with a banana variety say. Note it wouldn't be necessary to replace the tomato as this is technically a fruit anyway. (7 years, 3 months ago)

C @ #11535: I watch a lot of premier league football and have never heard of Matt Butcher. Poor form to put in some youth player (not that it was hard to guess Butcher was in that group). Then again he's probably still more well known than whatever "top of the rock" is. (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #11535: footballers Bournemouth not accepted young of various creatures not accepted grid fine, marking needs attention (7 years, 3 months ago)

JeSuis @ #11523: ERROR IN GRID - apologies (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11426: Excellent, good spread of general knowledge (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #11517: Bit unfair! JeSuis, thanx for all your grids. If you get few comments I think it's perhaps because we don't know where to start!you have a profusion of ideas. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Winnie @ #11405: Absolutely awful! Invertebrates was put down as "non-verts"! An abysmal grid. 1/5 stars was the lowest rating they accept, but I wish I could put down lower. Terrible effort! (7 years, 3 months ago)

OvertheTop @ #11517: I agree, an absolute disgrace. What is the world coming to when this sort of thing happens? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Inane Steve @ #11517: Come on. We just had "types of punch". I know it's a given that groups will be repeated now and again but this grid is on the same page. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Zbj @ #11496: Good one. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11510: Nice ideas and even a small herring. (7 years, 3 months ago)

WillyWonka @ #11510: Good grid - enjoyed it. Thanks for submitting it (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11418: Excellent - challenging, witty, inventive, it's got the lot (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #11416: Niice!both the grid and your thoughts,knife, (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11416: I'm probably nit-picking, but "Bengal" can only be added to "west" and "east"; it can precede "tiger" and "lancer". (7 years, 3 months ago)

DAL @ #11487: Disappointed that it didn't accept elements. (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11415: Again,playfully inventive, but I'm not sure about "fresh fish", which seems too arbitrary to me, but maybe I'm missing a reference. (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11414: Nice inventive one, but I think there is some ambiguity about "bare/bear necessities". Google tendency seems to favour "bare". (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11497: I fear 'words followed by' and 'words preceding ......' Are synonymous, however your point remains valid and I agree. I also like a grid where I gain a bit of knowledge (7 years, 3 months ago)

Buster grimes @ #11497: Gnu, I think it's a clever way of introducing ringo as a red herring and indeed creating a dummy group and also provides variety in the types of connections. It's nice to see a grid where the connections aren't all 'words followed by' or 'words preceding ......' (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #11497: This has provoked a lot of discussion, but I think it's a good, varied grid! (7 years, 3 months ago)

gnu @ #11497: Let's be honest, it was a poor grid when all is said and done. The rhymes were a painfully forced way of getting "ringo" in as a red herring, it actually made me laugh when I saw that connection. (7 years, 3 months ago)

gnu @ #11504: Very nice grid. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pol @ #11497: But it did say rhyming! (7 years, 3 months ago)

BillytheKid @ #11503: brilliant grid, thanks for sharing (7 years, 3 months ago)

Eh @ #11384: Wars of the 1960's?? Words containing letters of the alphabet! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11497: I think there's often an element of that Molly. In fairness a) it can sometimes go the other way too and b) While a cleverly constructed red herring is always fun, it's very difficult to get any entertainment out of a collection where you had literally zero of the required knowledge. (I confess this was the case with me and the Andrew Group: this would also be the case with anything to do with, say, Pokemon, types of radiator valve, or indeed 99% of all human knowledge.) You could also argue that c) Crackle didn't fit quite as well into its group as, say, Golf would have done, but that's probably a personal preference for letter substitution over rhyming (7 years, 3 months ago)

Molly @ #11497: Agreed Wrh, I fear maybe it pitched over some peoples heads and they have thusly downgraded it, shame (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wrh @ #11497: This is one of the best grids on the whole site, can't understand the average star rating, it's got everything you look for in a first class grid (7 years, 3 months ago)

Smith @ #11431: Dog breed was given as an answer but was marked incorrect (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11485: No more trivial than the masses of grids on here featuring sports teams or TV shows in their links. Also, they're the kind of link that could conceivably feature on an actual episode of Only Connect. I liked this grid. It was enjoyable and the Victoria group was clever. Sometimes trivial is good when you're playing a game as form of easy escapism after a hard day. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #11482: I couldn't agree more! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #11414: I think there are! Google? (7 years, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #11442: Mea culpa! Not being a Marvel fan I'm afraid I have never heard of Black Cat. I realise now that that weakens the grid, so sorry. Should have researched it better. Sackcloth and ashes. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11446: Nice. I must have tried all the other 29 combinations for theBeggar Man group, damn it. Minor gripe but imo leg doesn't work here: Moment would (7 years, 3 months ago)

AlanP @ #11412: Miss Slink, a couple of them are eighties so you may be too young to know them. However the George Ezra one is more up to date and you'd probably know it if you heard it (Budapest). As for Jerusalem every patriotic Englishman or woman should be singing this one. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedantophile @ #11439: Apologies to you Miss Slink and Alex. I got carried away with the idolatry of my hero. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #11439: I thought Pedantophile shouldve used your name,that's all! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11450: I've heard of the taxonomic ranks of animals, and am aware that the class "mammals" is split into three sub classes and a number of different orders. I didn't say 'class order' was wrong, just a bit of a stretch. There are other clues that would've rolled of the tongue a little easier I fancy. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wheel @ #11445: Easy but shit (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11439: I'm not sure I understand your comment, Alex. Are you referring to me? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wheel @ #11444: poor grid. waaaaay too easy. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wheel @ #11431: worst grid on the site (7 years, 3 months ago)

DangerMouse @ #11450: Maybe Mr Pedant...but surely you have heard of The Class Order of Mammals!!? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11444: I think so as well. I was worried that nobody else realised. Not anymore, that train has sailed, whooo. *takes deep victory swig from glass marked 'made it'* (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11367: Nice one, tricky but still accessible (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11439: Hello, you're very welcome. I don't need/want to look it up, who has time for that, I'm too busy trying to find errors! I believe you have used the full stop incorrectly on you last sentence in THAT comment, however if you think the full stop should be inside the parentheses then you have made a mistake on an earlier sentence when you placed it outside. But hey, who cares right? What does the english grammar site say? I haven't renewed my subscription(.) (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11450: Class order is a bit of a stretch, but a only a real pedant would make a fuss (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedantophile @ #11444: Absolutely. This opinion surely cements your well earnt reputation as the self appointed custodian of standards on this Web site. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11356: Could swap AIR with BASS. So not a unique solution. Also a bit simple, but that is not really a fair critique cos there needs to be varying degrees of difficulty, plus the amount of grids you are producing, they can't all be hits, however I am enjoying them for the most part. Keep up the good 'gridding' (7 years, 3 months ago)

Gmc @ #11442: As a marvel fan, blackcat is not vague, and she got skills. wash your mouth out (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11439: Thanks for the grammar lesson, Pedant, but I am technically correct as the brackets contain an entire sentence. Look it up on any English grammar site if you don't believe me! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Gmc @ #11445: Really good crossovers, liked it a lot. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11439: I appear to have to have posted that twice, oh well. Let's assume it was on purpose for dramatic effect, no one will ever know. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pedant @ #11439: Well now you are talking semantics. I had heard of John Stone, the musician and the welsh actor, however I had to google John Ashe (I'll admit it) cos I didn't have scooby who he was! So I believe my point is valid. In other news, I'm pretty carefree about my typing, and do not strive for grammatical perfection, and am pleased to be encouraging pedantry in others. (Also, your final full stop came a bit early, it really should be outside of the parentheses). I am having a nice day! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pol @ #11431: That is high praise indeed,...but it was neat. (7 years, 3 months ago)

nan @ #11431: i think it was the best grid on this website (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11439: Hi Pedant, I googled John Stone as I was making the grid and no one of note with that exact name came up (there's a John Stone-Stone, but obviously that wouldn't fit). Have I out-pedanted you there? YOU have a nice day! :) (Also, you forgot to add a full stop on the end of your last sentence there.) (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #11365: I second that! (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11365: Nice witty one, nicely themed (7 years, 3 months ago)

weegieman @ #11442: Thanks Pedant. I had actually considered finding an alternative for "black" (gunsmith, locksmith), decided in the end that "black cat" was too vague to count as a real solution and that keeping "black" added to the spice by multiplying the red herrings. Quibble noted however. (7 years, 3 months ago)

AlanP @ #11442: Nice one, but aren't the colours just colours and the fact they are part of the group names just irrelevant? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11356: Yeah, this was a good'un - clever but not too difficult. Also, as an aside, I feel I've learnt so much about football club nicknames since playing on this site - I've still not the foggiest why Peterborough are deemed "Posh", but the fact I now know that they are is one further nugget of knowledge I can take with me to help me get through this confusing game we call life (and also help me win pub quizzes).

Miss Slink @ #11411: ooh, this is a good meaty one! The boy's names totally foxed me. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #10167: Really stretching the "of interest to a general knowledge audience" criteria, this one. And "all played for the club"?! Which club? Not everyone has intimate sports knowledge, y'know (and I couldn't tell you which sport in question this grid is about, that's how little information is given. Football? Rugby? Tiddlywinks? Who knows? Who cares?) (7 years, 3 months ago)

Fland3rs @ #11223: I am waiting to comment on a Pedant wall (7 years, 3 months ago)

Ghengiskong @ #11300: Top quality. (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11314: Yeah, not a great wall (Luther link is really feeble; "95" for the 95 theses? Who's going to get that?), but I'd hardly put Neta's criticism under "constructive". (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #11322: Wrestling hold? surely near enough (7 years, 3 months ago)

Jimmy @ #9981: Great grid. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Zbj @ #11289: Apologies. Hadn't heard of that name and figured it was mid-spelling. D'oh! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Zbj @ #11319: Nice one. Good crossovers. (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #11316: you boys are having a giraffe (7 years, 3 months ago)

Ben @ #11318: 'Palindromes' should be an acceptable answer for the names that can be spelled backwards Daniel is not a unisex name when spelled that way - Danielle is the female spelling. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pol @ #11296: Good for you,toast is right, it's too easy to be critical at times. (7 years, 3 months ago)

OvertheTop @ #11316: Surely this is the greatest grid of all time? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #11318: Cameron Diaz? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #11318: Cameron Diaz? (7 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #11313: You certainly won't please everyone but it was different and I enjoyed having a go. (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #11318: Like a fool I put "palindromic names" instead of the far more elegant "names that can be spelt backwards". Never met or heard of a woman called Cameron or Daniel. Poor effort. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #11318: Is daniel a unisex name?i don't think so.Danielle? (7 years, 3 months ago)

Norauk @ #11306: Good to know thanks. Can I go back in to amend a spelling? (7 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #11306: Norauk. As the setter you give the initial decision on the level of difficulty but after a few votes from your grateful audience they have the final say. (7 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #11296: Train Man. You have taken a couple of hits but took them with dignity. I have seen far poorer grids lead to childish abuse. I actually enjoyed trying the first two . Also look at the star markings which reflect the general view that these are good grids. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Norauk @ #11306: Duly noted thanks. Also I notice that the difficulty level says hard, that isn't what I remember selecting. Is there a way I can change it? (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11307: Good variety, makes it fun (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11306: Pleasantly straightforward, but marred by "lightening" instead of "lightning", which matters cos it alters the meaning and makes the solution invalid. "Wisens" is also a bit strained. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Rocket @ #98: Nice one (7 years, 3 months ago)

SportStars @ #11297: Sorry, it was late at night (7 years, 3 months ago)

GoT @ #11311: Very nice. PM's were very clever. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Vlad @ #11306: "Wisens" ruins the whole grid. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #1161: Possibly my favourite grid that I've played on here. Clever, varied, and just the right level of taxing. Huzzah! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #357: Super enjoyable with a lovely variety of links. If I were a pedant, I'd say that since a bar of chocolate can be both Belgian/Swiss *and* white/milk, maybe they shouldn't be in the same category as different types - but there's already someone else on here who has already got the pedantry side of things covered, so I'll leave that to them ;) (Also, now I'm thinking about Belgian white chocolate. Yum!) (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11297: This is possibly the most blokey grid on the entire site. A sausage fest, designed to appeal to a sausage fest audience! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #7475: Good variety of links - very nice indeed! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #7475: Good variety of links - very nice indeed! (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11297: Too one-dimensional. Liked Pedant's comment about Peter Ebdon hee hee. (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11296: Like its predecessor, irredeemably specialised. For anoraks only. Unfortunately no fun - and impossibly difficult - for anyone else. (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #7475: a bit easy - Wellington would have been a good red herring (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11295: I once read an interview with one of Only Connect's question setters in which they said they try and devise the walls to test a variety of different strands of general knowledge: one set of links might be anagrams or hidden words, another was related culture or the arts, another might be to do with science, etc. Obviously this is far from the first wall to ignore this approach, but, by jove, it's frustrating when a wall zeroes in on one singular niche topic. Also, it's unfair to expect anyone who doesn't live in London to have the knowledge to solve this. And, amazingly, lots and lots of people don't (and I say that as a born-and-bred Londoner). I'm sorry, but I think this is a poor wall. Accurate and error-free, but not much fun. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11306: Nice and straight forward, a bit easy perhaps, but it's lovely to play a grid that doesn't require intimate knowledge of sports or tech! (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #11305: one of the hardest ever. Got 2 connections after the wall was resolved, but what is a judoka? Did Marx really wear a monocle? (7 years, 3 months ago)

knife @ #11294: Sorry, but I can't imagine this being of much interest to anyone except a train anorak. You either know the answers or you don't. And you either care or. like me, you don't. (7 years, 3 months ago)

RegularTony @ #11304: Enjoyed it! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Pol @ #3875: You probably mean ...is english your first language? I'm not sure? Navy submariners,sailors. (7 years, 3 months ago)

Wi @ #11279: Good grid and a fine set of explanations! (7 years, 3 months ago)

Delilah @ #11279: Like your humour :-) Will always refer to every drake as a "Blokey Duck" in future... (And possibly Drake as "Blokey Singer"). (7 years, 3 months ago)

bonehead @ #7020: more pokemon....grrr (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #8473: For words all containing 'rush' I put rhyming words which I think should count - but then I would, wouldn't I?! Good grid, thank you. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Amanda Hugenkiss @ #11300: Didn't accept Shaw either. Rubbish (7 years, 4 months ago)

PuzzBrit @ #11293: I have never seen this type of grid. Nice and unique. Well done (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Takes @ #11300: Didn't accept 'tim' 'food' or 'tennis'. I don't know how you can get top marks on this grid. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #11289: Ps the ' t' thing was confusing. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #11289: Ironsides was one of Cromwells nicknames! . (7 years, 4 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #11100: It 'works' when you see the answers, but practically unsolvable in three minutes; too many TV-related possibilities. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Twiglet @ #2296: 23 seconds but the dictionaries were lined up in a row across the bottom which made it easy to spot! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Twiglet @ #98: OMG I was so close my heart started beating faster! Good grid, so near yet so far! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Twiglet @ #11033: Got Liz Taylor on fortensky, but hopeless on river .. good grid, I really enjoyed it! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pat McLaughlin @ #3454: good fun and exercises the brain in a different way (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11293: Stumped me. Good one. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Ynot @ #11289: Sorry, I'm confused was Cromwell not known as Ironsides? Also can't be add t because the t is already in all the words. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11289: Very good. Apart from side. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Twiglet @ #10981: Enjoyed! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #7284: Fair grid - the boys names got me! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #7279: So how can woodpeckers be wrong when the answer given was types of woodpecker? Methinks more words are needed in answer key. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11293: Clever! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11286: Isn't that the aim of the game? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Takes @ #11286: Don't use symbols AND elements in the same grid! It will confuse the players (7 years, 4 months ago)

Perfectionist @ #11289: A good grid. But it should be ironside (not sides). The fist group's explanation is a bit vague, it could be "add 't' to make a rank" (because all the words have t in). (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11287: Not my fields at all but good to see a bit of outreach to a different audience and no comics, video games or Pokémon! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wi @ #11291: Had never thought of chopsticks in that way before, but.... (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11288: Lovely variety of links here. The Marvel one foxed me, but then I am horribly out of touch with pop culture so that's only to be expected. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Ynot @ #11290: Quite fun. Almost impossible unless the somewhat obvious tennis score lets you know it's a sports grid. (7 years, 4 months ago)

FUTeach @ #11285: You put Methane in twice. Are you sure you should be teaching? (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11284: Agreed. The Honda one threw me all over the place but because of the spread I at least had a chance. Spice of life and all that. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11283: Too specialised for me, made it inaccessible, so not much entertainment value. But it probably appeals to peopüle familiar with that particular area. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11282: I see! Brownie points for honesty! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Got @ #11282: Break was just a brain fade when putting answers in. Write was indeed a typo. It's meant to be lucky. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Mel @ #5633: Nice grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11283: Enjoyable if you like that particular topic, I guess. But not exactly general knowledge. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11284: Very nice - it's always good when there's variety in the links! (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11279: Good explanations. (7 years, 4 months ago)

PuzzBrit @ #11267: Sorry. I didn't know that (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11282: I think the setter is having fun at our expense. Write Brothers appears to be a software program for aspiring writers; you can buy Guess Break sneakers and so on. For me, the obscurity kills the joke though. (7 years, 4 months ago)

bonehead @ #11282: author must rethink this break is surely a mistake. Apparently write brothers do exist though (7 years, 4 months ago)

Ragman @ #11282: What is a guess break, or a break break? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11252: Ok. I see where you are coming from.I was thinking that it ,as a true red herring,it would need to fit into both groups? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Globe @ #11252: That's how the name of the TV show was written, but it was not in the TV show group. It was in the "words which have letters in alphabetical order" group. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11280: Where has weegiemans grid gone? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11252: That was how it was written I guess. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Globe @ #11252: What did? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11252: It made sense to me tho! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11280: I always find these country grids hard,,nice categories in this one, but I didn't get there. (7 years, 4 months ago)

fiffy @ #11277: good! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11273: Genuine question: is Only Connect popular in Australia? Does it have a cult fanbase over there in the same way the Eurovision does? Does Australia have it's own version of the show? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11277: Some nice ideas here, though Hard Yakka is a bit obscure - not a good grid if you're not a sports fan! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11275: I guess for some it could be relevant...no spoilers, (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11275: Sorry, a bit too vague and arbitrary to be of interest. "Bob" is the name of an Australian prime minister - oh yes. (7 years, 4 months ago)

sean @ #11268: Good grid, but should probably accept slightly less specific answers for sprinters and tv series (7 years, 4 months ago)

Big boy @ #11234: Some good cross overs (7 years, 4 months ago)

Bill Gallacher @ #3397: intramolecular, a word often used to mean "bonds between atoms" as an alternative answer to "ionic, metallic etc." (7 years, 4 months ago)

Bill Gallacher @ #3454: A fun way of identifying various patterns in the elements (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11261: Agree with Mister Tom, Symphony is a bit weak, but otherwise highly inventive (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11263: Did for me! Great crossovers,had me in a spin.. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Bill Harris @ #3454: very good way to group elements (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11158: Tough one, Liar indeed! (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11260: Nice straightforward one , refreshingly free of obscure links, and entertaining (7 years, 4 months ago)

Liar @ #11158: Easy (7 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11261: Symphony doesn't really work so well in its group- there are so many of them. It's gettable in context I guess. Maroon or Saturn perhaps better? (7 years, 4 months ago)

chris @ #11253: Nice grid, fairly easy due to not many cross-category answers. I enjoyed it. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Depant @ #11228: He's right you know!! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pedant @ #11228: Ah bless, just cos someone else has had a pop at you, you think that it must be me as well under a different guise. That's cute. Plot twist, it's just the two of us on here! You think there a multitude of people posting comments and creating grids, but no, they are all me! Every time you play a grid, it's one of mine. Every time you converse with somebody, it's with me! Mwahahaha (7 years, 4 months ago)

*kaim* @ #11228: You haven't really been doing the Pedant handle justice though. Your persistence is admirable but I think your Sarcastic Jim persona suits you better. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pedant @ #11258: I plant seeds, and watch them grow. Nice catch GMS (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pedant @ #11228: Reel 'em in! Another bite. You're starting to grow on me, like a boil, I'll make a pedant of you yet. You seem to be implying that me and sarcastic Jim are the same person, alas I cannot take credit for Kim's witicisms, rest assured I am quite content with the Pedant handle and do not feel the need to keep changing my name. Keep on trucking. *sips martini* (7 years, 4 months ago)

GMS @ #11258: Joffrey, not Jeoffrey. Never proven for sure he is a bastard (although I admit it is more than likely). Also, technically the non humans are all bastards and Jon Snow could be considered to be non-human after his 'incident'. This makes the answers interchangeable and therefore, there is no unique answer. This pedant shizzle is easy, much easier than creating a grid! (7 years, 4 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11250: Nice Macguffin ; ) (7 years, 4 months ago)

*kaim* @ #11228: Not really. This "grammar and syntax doesn't matter, as long as it is understood by others" argument is not consistent with pedantry. You've lost your way. Stick to the Sarcastic Jim pseudonym in future, that might be easier for you. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jerome @ #11252: Apologies,pure ignorance on my part. (7 years, 4 months ago)

GMS @ #11231: And to think I was initially going to include the word 'covfefe' in the O line... imagine the pedention that would have caused! (7 years, 4 months ago)

fiffy @ #11252: CHiPs is written like that because that is how it was written. C(alifornia)H(ighway)P(atrol) CHP, or CHiPs. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11246: Easy Pedant, I mean no offence! I stand by my choice of bands, though: I think boy bands are generally considered to be a pop sub genre in themselves these days, and anyone who's heard a song by 999, or even just seen a photo of them, would agree they're very different to the rest of the bands I put in that category. Surely 999 are no more a boyband for being young blokes than, say, Busted are a punk band because they played guitars, dyed their hair stupid colours and came together as a band independently before they signed a major label deal. Or at least, that's my opinion on the matter. (7 years, 4 months ago)

*kicks away imaginary mic* @ #11228: I seem to have turned you into an anti-pedant fairly easily here. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alcorsa @ #11228: You know I almost put in White Scottie instead. Glad I didn't because life would have been so less entertaining! (7 years, 4 months ago)

*kicks away imaginary mic* @ #11228: It wouldn't make sense to others, it would imply it was a white variety of something called "scottish pudding" as opposed to a scottish variety of "white pudding". Any competent pedant would understand that. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Neto @ #11231: In other words it's not a word that is actually used in the English language at all. More failed pedantry. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jerome @ #11252: Good grid? Just a mistake? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Globe @ #11252: If the connection is simply "words which have letters in alphabetical order" then why write CHiPs like that? I'd never heard of that show anyway but it's a cheap way to put in a red herring. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Slinky fan @ #11246: I like you,Miss Slink. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11246: Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I'm aware (and a fan of) the old punk band 999 (though I am not an older gridder myself), but as has been pointed out, they'd probably smack you round the chops if you called them a "boyband". Maybe you're getting them confused with short-lived noughties heart throbs 888? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Martha @ #11208: No news is good news? Nice grid! (7 years, 4 months ago)

*kicks away imaginary mic* @ #11228: Why would the Scottish version be referred to as "White Scottish Pudding" and not "Scottish White pudding"? The first one clearly sounds wrong, like "Black Scottish pudding" would. The pedantry was shoddy, not uber. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #11246: You're really slipping here pedant. 3/5 stars for the grid. 1/5 for the pedantry. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jerome @ #11248: Groovy grid,enjoyed! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jammo @ #11242: Great work this is a humdinger! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #11208: Hello (7 years, 4 months ago)

Bob @ #11208: (7 years, 4 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11246: Nice grid, if not taxing. Older gridders may recall 999 but no one would mistake them for a boy band. (7 years, 4 months ago)

anon @ #10592: A mole is not a hidden recording device, that's a bug. A mole is someone undercover/double agent (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #11246: Really good grid Miss Slink. I think pedant might be taking it too far, although generally I like a little pedantry. There are probably obscure boy bands with all mixes of numbers but the solution given is the neat fix and makes sense! Thanks for the fun!!!! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11242: Good one. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #11234: knife: Of course you are correct (nice spot!) I did put in about a million options regarding the answers but missed skin complaints. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11234: Inventive, with nice clear explanations, although I thought "skin complaints" might have been accepted for the pus one (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11245: Five stars. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11230: Think "professions" or "occupations" should also be accepted alongside "jobs". And maybe "things to wear" or "things that can be worn" instead of "clothes" (is a wig an item of clothing?) (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11245: Very neat grid,good Ideas and varied. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Slinky fan @ #11246: Whoa! Nice one,good and varied. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jerome @ #11228: I suppose people take all very seriously. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #11234: Keep at it Toast your efforts are gratefully accepted here in the west. We may not achieve global dominance but our policy of giving everyone a beer allowance is surely a vote winner. Thank you for the Grid comments Wiz, Zbj. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11243: Cheeky crossovers, nice one, (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #11242: Enjoyed this! Nice red herrings. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #11227: Great grid! For anyone ,especially a second- time gridder! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11227: Fair point about the kimono one (I'd just been drooling over gorgeous antique kimonos on eBay, so they were obviously still on my mind). Re: Denim, I never said they were famous! But they *are* well known enough to have had Guardian articles written about them and for original records to go for silly sums of cash amongst hardened music nerds. I deliberately chose a varied selection of groups so as not to make it too obvious. I'll take the constructive criticism on board though - this is only my second grid, after all! (7 years, 4 months ago)

fiffy @ #11229: Easy but fun. (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11234: Sorry for the delay. Been out leafletting for Plaid Cymru. Not an easy option in. South London. Gridulike!m (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11228: In my defence, I was just giving information I thought was accurate.no intent to cause a commotion. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11234: Love your explanations Blues! Very poetic and helpful (7 years, 4 months ago)

- @ #11228: No, you're wrong Wiz. There is no dish actually known and generally referred to as "White Scottish Pudding", it's known as "white pudding" and if it was made in Scotland, then still just "white pudding". Stop trying to defend shoddy attempts at pedantry. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11228: I believe there is! Oatmeal-based? (7 years, 4 months ago)

*picks mic up* @ #11228: There is no dish actually known as "white scottish pudding", pedant. You should change your name to "try-hard". (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11227: Not this grid! Other that Pedant commented on.This was neat imao and I enjoyed, (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11221: Nice one (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11227: I thought saw thumb was a joke ....a deliberate mistake because of the errors in the grid? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11231: Good one. Pleased that I Managed to retrieve the fraggles from somewhere way at the back of my brain. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11234: Good grid with clear explanations. Nice one. (7 years, 4 months ago)

DEK @ #10838: GREAT.. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Ed @ #11224: Is "rest" really a synonym of "short sleep"? That's like saying "movement" is a synonym of "quick run". (7 years, 4 months ago)

Juan @ #11227: 2 questions: 1) Pedant, what is a saw thumb? 2) To what extent were the band "Denim" famous? (7 years, 4 months ago)

banana @ #11216: quite hard but very good! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11222: What a thought ,toast! (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11222: x Lunacy. If you tried to swap Belgium with Canada we would be squashed! (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11225: Agree with Alan P but a couple of the lines are fine. Probably a bit unfairly marked down . I'd suggest a little more variety would improve its reception. (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11224: Mixed feelings. Not keen on the beer (no you're not dreaming) and in part so many possibilities made it a bit of an exercise for fast fingers but it was enjoyable and well above average in my book. Now for a nice rest. (7 years, 4 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11226: Nice grid! Well done. (7 years, 4 months ago)

GavinJ @ #11228: Excellent (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11227: That was a good one too! Nice and varied... (7 years, 4 months ago)

GavinJ @ #11226: Great grid. Enjoyed it. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11226: I did! Please do more... (7 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Slink @ #11226: My apologies Pol - I'm usually a stickler for that sort of thing, but I was clearly so excited by creating my first ever grid that I somehow missed that mistake! Hope you enjoyed it regardless. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11226: Nice but! Mandela! I feel like a teacher... (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #11225: I'm assuming Nth was intended. Not sure I'd describe these as words though. (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #11223: The capital city of Canada is Ottawa. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Madenda @ #11224: Pure awesomeness!!! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11223: Again ,nice , but Caesar, and Napoleon. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11222: Good ideas, but Zealand is the spelling and French is the language. (7 years, 4 months ago)

fland3rs @ #11221: Good but Australasia isn't technically a continent. Australia is the continent. (7 years, 4 months ago)

pol @ #11221: I liked this a lot,many thanks! (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #4640: Nice fun grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #2398: Lovely puzzle (7 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #3456: Very nice grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #6140: Lovely grid.perfect (7 years, 4 months ago)

Al @ #2748: Nice grid. Some of the grids have become impossible, so nice to have something solvable. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Joel @ #10527: That's funny, I got the "bag" group based on a theme of "Mr.": Mr. Bean as played by Rowan Atkinson, Mr. Hand from South Park, Mr. Punch from the Neil Gaiman book, and then Mr. Sand as a guess that it might be another name for the Sandman. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #11216: Nice one ,thanks. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #8402: The best grids have this don't they? (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8402: Very good misdirection. (7 years, 4 months ago)

survivor @ #11185: Agreed, nice themes and crossovers. (7 years, 4 months ago)

survivor @ #11209: I thought the L-to-H swap was fair game. I didn't get that one during the grid stage (trying too hard to match Cleese with the other Johns, just as the setter intended), but I got that theme right away once the answers were sorted in rows. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11219: Specialized is one way of putting it. I don't enjoy these kind of grids, but I think some people will love them. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11121: Wedding group a bit feeble (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11219: Too one-dimensional, and too specialised to be of general interest (7 years, 4 months ago)

Chris @ #11205: Nice grid, it took me a while to spot the darts terminology. Well done. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Tkhawkey @ #11209: Thanks for playing the grid all! Interesting split of opinions... but I love the Larissa suggestion! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11209: Good idea there Mister Tom! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11209: Very nice tho I might have gone for Larissa instead of Loney... ;) (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11209: A fine grid in my opinion. (7 years, 4 months ago)

D @ #11209: The point is, Georgie, it's only hard because of how tenuous and arbitrary it is. It's too easy on the setter's part. (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #11210: Murray is still playing and so could still win the French although unlikely. (7 years, 4 months ago)

fiffy @ #11209: Loney? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11209: Loney, I meant! My iPad hadn't come across it either! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #11209: Lonely is a new word or name to me. (7 years, 4 months ago)

GeorgieP @ #11209: It should be hard, that's the challenge. I got chip, chive and cheese but missed the honey. Great grid. (7 years, 4 months ago)

D @ #11209: Change the L to an H - really easy way on the setter's part to make a hard group for players to spot. Poor group. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Mike @ #11209: Absolutely superb. More please! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Madenda @ #11209: Good job on the puzzle but made me feel like my brain stopped working :D (7 years, 4 months ago)

Woof @ #11099: It was even more difficult than that (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #10203: Nicely constructed grid, very impressed. (7 years, 4 months ago)

AndreasP @ #9407: The metal is Aluminium (BE) or Aluminum (AE), but not Alluminium. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #8722: Very good grid - and fair. Many thanks. (7 years, 4 months ago)

AndreasP @ #11204: Skynyrd is wrong, it's not a surename of a person, and there's no Leonard... (7 years, 4 months ago)

Globe @ #10203: Family member group was very good. Dr Who group on the other hand was abysmal. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Alex @ #11203: An interesting observation!,,!! Great grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

fiffy @ #11204: Lynrnd Skynyrd was a band, not a person. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Monkey Allen @ #11203: Yeah but could The Special A.K.A. run and manage a successful paper merchants? (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #11205: Nice one. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pamela @ #11077: Grinch - nice to see that you are happy today (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11200: Could you not switch The Merry Wives of Windsor with Much Ado About Tooting and still solve the grid ? PS had some difficulty as I have mislaid my glasses again but at least the bottle opener has turned up. Enjoyed trying anyway. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Ahab @ #11201: Ahoy! This is a riptide of a puzzle! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Gnu @ #11202: Decent grid, but I'd have never guessed what the 6 points connection was if I'd had all day. Especially didn't like "7th" as a clue. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Delilah @ #11187: "raduis"? Surely, radIUs? (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zbj @ #11193: Good one. (7 years, 4 months ago)

GeorgieP @ #11194: And don't forget about Dick. (7 years, 4 months ago)

PuzzBrit @ #11194: Nurse, Teacher, Doctor, Girls, Constable and Sergeant are all carry on films. That really got me when I found out there was no carry on films group (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #8373: I disagree ...just one l I think? (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11192: Don't take any notice of them Tom. They are probably just a bit peeved at being called common girls. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Violet @ #11192: Poor effort. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Eve @ #11192: Girls names and nouns/verbs - extremely general and weak groups. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10899: True... but not the most common element in the crust (Aluminium). Or in the universe ( Hydrogen). Or in humans (Oxygen by mass, hydrogen by number). I'll get my coat. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11188: Nice red herring with the Lennon group. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11187: As for #11186, not much entertainment value for the normal solver. (7 years, 4 months ago)

knife @ #11186: High on difficulty, low on entertainment value. Perhaps a tad too specialised. (7 years, 4 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #11184: Shinobi's correct and Mr. Bobbit would be famous for willy not Willie, but that's just a small issue. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11186: If you meant bio..that was good. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Shinobi @ #11184: Jesus Christ was generally regarded as a Jew rather than a Christian. There was no such thing as a Christian while he (allegedly) lived. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #9380: Did you mean Buckingham Palace? Also, how can social website apps not be a means of communication? Think more keywords were needed there! Otherwise a fun grid, thank you. (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11175: Light and enjoyable . (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #11178: Of course, proliferation should have got that - staring me in the face. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #9408: So, elements for third group is incorrect?! What ignorance is that? More keywords needed. Not so good at all! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Sally @ #9416: So I put beauty - beautiful for group 3 and it comes up as incorrect, methinks more keywords/symbols are needed! Other quizzers have made similar comments (7 years, 4 months ago)

Lana @ #10957: Rachel - no (7 years, 4 months ago)

MrsDespard @ #583: Lovely grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

MrsDespard @ #583: Lovely grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

Lana @ #10946: Hello Ken (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hb39 @ #11060: Excellent! (7 years, 4 months ago)

AlanP @ #11137: Good effort. (7 years, 4 months ago)

MethodMan @ #5: Soon as I saw he groups the connections were obvious, 4/10. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Zed @ #7529: Mammals should be acceptable (7 years, 4 months ago)

rosie @ #11134: Ah that must be it.. (7 years, 4 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11134: Called Dave Bodger possibly? (7 years, 4 months ago)

big debs @ #492: so guessing man apparently is wrong as in house (7 years, 4 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11137: "Colour" is an incorrect answer for Colours apparently, and "Rank" is an incorrect answer for Army ranks. good grid though! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jerome @ #11137: Very neat and nice. (7 years, 4 months ago)

ennjay @ #11135: Enjoyed the concept of this grid. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Timmy @ #11131: Why,Hater? (7 years, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #11135: Minor quibble: it's "unequivocal", not that that affects the quality of the grid (7 years, 4 months ago)

Timmy @ #11128: Omg! What's wrong with me?Bodger!! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Timmy @ #11128: Bolger,sorry! (7 years, 4 months ago)

Timmy @ #11128: But the puppeteer was Simon Bodgers, not Dave. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11128: Bodger was the puppeteer in the classic 90s kids tv show 'Bodger and Badger'. 'Badger' was a badger with some weird wet and messy fetish for mashed-potatoes. (7 years, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #42: Difficult but well thought out (7 years, 4 months ago)

Wenceslas @ #11131: Good - liked the archers. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Jerome @ #11128: He is Alice Bodgers husband. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Simon Bodger @ #11128: I'd also like to know who Dave Bodger is. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Globe @ #10175: "Bands with 3 members" was funny. It's like you couldn't think of a 4th one relating to condiments/food so thought of a more tenuous connection and stuck in America. (7 years, 4 months ago)

weegieman @ #11132: The first group are also just football clubs, regardless of whether or nor their names contain parts of the body (7 years, 4 months ago)

Hater @ #11131: Only solvable for Brexiters (7 years, 4 months ago)

Timmy @ #11127: Oh dear. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Lappino69 @ #11126: Piss off. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Lappino69 @ #11127: Kill Yourself. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Pol @ #11132: Clever one! (7 years, 4 months ago)

zed @ #11101: genre should be accepted fantasy crime romance thriller (7 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11130: Good one. Thanks. (7 years, 4 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11131: Good one. I mistook the literary group for Rentaghost characters though! (7 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #11111: Really tough. (7 years, 4 months ago)

Blank @ #11128: So who is Dave Bodger then? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11128: Dave Bodger was actually one of the only clues that really made sense to me. And 'From Leicester'... really? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11124: Aside from the fact this may not count as being of interest to a general knowledge audience, I will say that even so, the links were too easy to guess and there were no crossovers. I literally had only ever heard of 3 of the DAWs, and none of the other clues, but still managed 6/10... also, 'software instruments' should really have been a possible answer for the 'vst' line. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11120: I think expecting people to link things by their prepositions may be a bit of a stretch... Also, my answer 'synonyms' was wrong for the 'error' row, and the answer was 'they have the same meaning'... (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11117: A touch simple... also, didn't accept 'counties' as an answer. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11116: I second what Bowie said... (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9266: Clever! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9267: Tricky! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9268: Tricky! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9268: (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9269: Tough grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wenceslas @ #11112: I liked this one - very hard, but interesting. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9272: Good red herrings in this grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #11126: 10/10 nice one, easier categories Harry? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9271: Quite tricky - didn't see the Bets! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ethan @ #11127: 7/10 nice one Michael? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Globe @ #11128: First of all, who on earth is Dave Bodger? Secondly, are those all related to badgers in the same way tennis is related to rabbits? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Globe @ #11123: "All start with lower case letters" should be an alternative answer accepted for the -ship group. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Globe @ #11113: Couldn't agree more with pedant's comment. (7 years, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #37: Excellent, very inventive. Far too difficult for me, but enjoyable once I knew the answers. (7 years, 5 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11125: Didn't get the PMs. Like the Billy Joel reference. Good grid! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Pol @ #11125: But surely that's the point? (7 years, 5 months ago)

fiffy @ #11125: Cameron, not Cameroon. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Timmy @ #11117: Maybe some crossovers? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #11116: A review of the accepted answers might be in order. Good effort though, thank you. (7 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #11112: no (7 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #9708: good (7 years, 5 months ago)

j @ #9732: nice (7 years, 5 months ago)

bonehead @ #11113: mini is not a car manufacturer (7 years, 5 months ago)

Rav @ #11111: Nice red herring with Pitt the Younger for the Pizza Hut connection. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10909: Hello Lana (7 years, 5 months ago)

Pol @ #11111: You can't know it all. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Globe @ #11111: I kicked myself for not getting the Pizza Hut group. Who wouldn't know something as worth knowing as that. Also Rav Wilding made the police officer group too obvious, being as world famous as he is. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9257: Brilliant grid, so many red herrings! Could 'see' the groups but ran out of time sorting them out. Thank you. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9265: Prefixes was rather a 'woolly ' set of words, otherwise a good grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Jerome @ #11111: Good knowledge (7 years, 5 months ago)

Zingy and Titch @ #11111: Always good! (7 years, 5 months ago)

gg @ #11112: The food category was stretching it. Wurst is pronounced differently from worst and who outside of Scotland has heard of neep. (7 years, 5 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11108: Nice one! (7 years, 5 months ago)

fiffy @ #11108: Nice one! (7 years, 5 months ago)

fiffy @ #11109: Good grid! (7 years, 5 months ago)

- @ #11106: car smash? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11109: 'Beards' was wrong (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #11108: Breezy and enjoyable, thank you. (7 years, 5 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11108: Very good. (7 years, 5 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11109: Good one. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #11109: Put "airports named after them" but gave as incorrect! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Victor @ #11109: I think the Rowling group is a bit of a minefield? When you look more closely.... (7 years, 5 months ago)

😡 @ #11102: No! Just no! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Beatrix Cuttlefish Von Whistling-Crack @ #11108: Very pleasant! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Manu @ #11106: I've never seen them do that on Only Connect. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Jerome @ #11106: That's an awful lot of grids to write off.Manu! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Manu @ #11106: Grids in which EVERY group is just something preceded by given words/letters are too lacking in variety and therefore quite tedious. Groups like that are fine within more varied grids but very boring when there's nothing more. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Manu @ #11100: I can't believe anyone thought "yes of course" when they saw the "they all moved from bbc2 to bbc1" group. (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #11108: Excellent grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #11103: newpuzz, I think the Red Baron was shot down deliberately and so it wasn't an air accident. (7 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #11103: It works for me. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hubby @ #11108: Yay!!! First grid in ages and I got it! Thanks (7 years, 5 months ago)

Jerome @ #11107: Nice ideas... (7 years, 5 months ago)

Jerome @ #11106: And how! Thankyou! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Browny @ #10432: Straightforward connections but loads of red herrings and crossovers. Nice one. (7 years, 5 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11106: Boom! Wisty's back! (7 years, 5 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #11103: I liked it. "related" covers a lot, but justified. Very good gridding! (7 years, 5 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11103: Not too hard to answer for older Gridders, but a good mind workout. Nice one! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Heather @ #11103: This was a tricky one to attempt ,but thought provoking and entertaining. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #11095: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #11101: Cheers Rhubarb, I fancy a slice of the tart now :-) (7 years, 5 months ago)

newpuzz @ #11103: JFK - car related...really..there's tenuous and there's ridiciulous!?? Also limited correct answers - how is 'died in air accidents' not correct? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #8284: Got very stuck on Julia's Caesar... Not saying I would have done MUCH better had that typo not been present... (7 years, 5 months ago)

fiffaff @ #11103: Kennedy was bullet related death, not car. (7 years, 5 months ago)

TrevorM @ #11075: (7 years, 5 months ago)

TrevorM @ #11100: Really enjoyed this grid. It was one of those where I didn't get the answers but went "Yes of course..." when I saw them. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Are you mad @ #10883: Yes (7 years, 5 months ago)

Tom @ #11103: Poor grid. Needless levels of obscurity and not entirely accurate to call Kennedy's death "car related". That's like calling someone's death who was stabbed to death in a house "house related". (7 years, 5 months ago)

蝙蝠 @ #11102: Get out. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Tabby @ #11101: "Types of television program" and "category of fictional novels" are way too similar and general. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Felix @ #11100: Too many possible connections. Terrible grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Purr @ #11099: Absurdly difficult (7 years, 5 months ago)

GavinJ @ #11095: Got completely distracted by the red herring! (7 years, 5 months ago)

欧悦古 @ #11097: Let the puzzgrid cultural revolution begin! A new great leap forward for Puzzgrid! Although, this is not the BEST introduction, as zbj pointed out... it's very rough around the edges... the second one i made #11102 is better, I think. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9348: Agree with Scoobydont! (7 years, 5 months ago)

欧悦古 @ #11097: Let the puzzgrid cultural revolution begin! A new great leap forward for Puzzgrid! Although, this is not the BEST introduction, as zbj pointed out... it's very rough around the edges... the second one i made #11102 is better, I think. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Fergus @ #11097: Why not indeed? Good for you... (7 years, 5 months ago)

欧悦古 @ #11097: Why not? Got flags, so... (7 years, 5 months ago)

Fergus @ #11097: Is this a new development for puzzgrid? (7 years, 5 months ago)

欧悦古 @ #11097: Yeah, I realized that after testing it on my wife... it was my first attempt at doing it in Chinese... maybe I'll try some more with more characters... the repeated 钢 was supposed to be 铜...... 打错了！ (7 years, 5 months ago)

TrevorM @ #11101: Nice little grid, even if I'd never heard of the Manchester answer. Should really accept 'genre' as an alternative to 'category'. (7 years, 5 months ago)

欧悦古 @ #11097: Yeah, I realized that after testing it on my wife... it was my first attempt at doing it in Chinese... maybe I'll try some more with more characters... the repeated 钢 was supposed to be 铜...... 打错了！ (7 years, 5 months ago)

Zbj @ #11097: Nice try. One of the characters is repeated and the solution isn't unique. I think it's quite difficult to have unique solutions in Chinese because of the way characters are used. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Fun e @ #11095: I bet you did (7 years, 5 months ago)

Zbj @ #11094: Good one. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sloppy Willis @ #11095: Complete shite! I liked the cock part. (7 years, 5 months ago)

chris @ #11090: lol at AlanP. :) (7 years, 5 months ago)

bobretd @ #11094: Good crossovers, cheers! (7 years, 5 months ago)

bobretd @ #11093: nice gentle grid! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9688: A great grid, thank-you (7 years, 5 months ago)

weegieman @ #11092: Sorry, made a silly mistake in the explanations, where I included the Roman numeral L, which is in fact meant as a rer herring. It should have been D = 500. Sorry if that spoiled anyone's enjoyment. Will try and be more careful in future. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9336: (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9336: One group very hard, but a fair grid. Thanks. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9337: First two groups were pretty nefarious! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9338: Truly fiendish! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9339: So severe weather doesn't count, but strong winds does? As a geographer I would dispute this one! Otherwise a good grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9529: Lovely to score 10/10 thank-you 😀 (7 years, 5 months ago)

GavinJ @ #11083: Fun (and I got the Whatta reference) (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #11090: Top Notch. Must look up rubber Johnny (sounds rude). (7 years, 5 months ago)

betty @ #11083: Poor;contrived. Whatta???? Not a word. (7 years, 5 months ago)

The Cat @ #11085: Seen both element categories done before. Plus two of them in the same grid is weak. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9678: Lovely grid. The 'rock' section got me! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9676: I agree with Keith as I didn't get the clothes shops connection either! I enjoyed the grid though - thanks. (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #9677: Good effort. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9677: A lovely grid, thank-you. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9700: Thank you for a good wall, I enjoyed playing it. (7 years, 5 months ago)

bonehead @ #11085: excellent. Didn't get arch (7 years, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #11085: Me neither! Nice one! (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #11067: Annoyed scientists not accepted, but very good nonetheless. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ragamuffin @ #11069: oh you're right! Good one. Thanks for the feedback :) (7 years, 5 months ago)

TrevorM @ #11085: Very nice, embarrassed that I didn't get the royal group (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ruth @ #11067: I'm lost! (7 years, 5 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #11072: Nice although solutions/answers could be a little more descriptive (7 years, 5 months ago)

Pol @ #11064: Thank goodness! (7 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #11064: Fake Wiz comments removed - apologies for the inconvenience (7 years, 5 months ago)

Omegaman @ #11069: Good grid but things that are written can also be things that are read (7 years, 5 months ago)

bonehead @ #9771: nice (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9327: The 'et's' got me! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9322: So music groups didn't count? Think that was harsh! Otherwise a reasonable grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Selma @ #11060: Good mix of facts and red herrings (7 years, 5 months ago)

Roy @ #9747: Blue Orchid - unnecessarily obscure. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9745: Tough grid! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9747: Footballers were my downfall this time! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Mogster @ #11077: Too particular for me. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Pam @ #10848: No (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9749: Tough! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Roy @ #10842: Roy who? (7 years, 5 months ago)

Alex @ #11077: Good grid...beat me,not my area of expertise. (7 years, 5 months ago)

The Grinch @ #11077: Brilliant! My kind of grid. (7 years, 5 months ago)

qqq @ #3798: Could swap Gloucester and York and still have a valid grid with same answers. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ron @ #11078: Being included in one of these grids is the most publicity the Caccioppoli Prize has probably ever had. (7 years, 5 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #11078: Nice one. And I learned the word Quadrennial and what the caccioppoli prize is! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Les @ #11067: I got none (7 years, 5 months ago)

RowG @ #10961: Retail outlets are the same as trading places (7 years, 5 months ago)

Vincenzo @ #11078: It's a shame the Caccioppoli Prize isn't awarded more regularly because it's the most exciting event of the lot. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Ian @ #11078: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 5 months ago)

Mewmew @ #11078: Caccioppoli Prize, well of course. That well known prize! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10092: I enjoyed this grid as it was very fair. I get fed up with over specific grids rather than ones that require good general knowledge. Thank you BdssHnna (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10094: Think the 'games' bit was too specific, but maybe that's just sour grapes as I couldn't complete this wall! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10096: Tough! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10097: Great grid, the Johnsons 'got' me, but I did get the link! Many thanks. (7 years, 5 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11070: Good one. Got the groups quite quickly but took a little while to sort out. Thanks. (7 years, 5 months ago)

TrevorM @ #11064: Thanks NL. I just wish it wasn't my grid being used to host all this grief; I'd delete it if I could. (7 years, 5 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11074: Good one. (7 years, 5 months ago)

ZBJ @ #11075: Good idea but as mentioned, easy to guess without knowing the connections. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9748: Homophones got me! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #9759: Good grid - thanks. (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #11075: Interesting one, but very guessable because of its nature. (7 years, 5 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #11064: *Therein ensuring I'll be the next whose identity is hijacked for the purpose of entirely jejune, prosaic, fatuous and generally irksome comments lol* (7 years, 5 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #11064: Oh, and apologies if this seems a postscript to previous comment - nice grid Trevor, most enjoyable... ignore the haters! (7 years, 5 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #11064: Sorry to hear that Wiz (original Wiz, that is...) Your grids and eloquent comments will be missed... I've been having similar thoughts of late, hence the relative scarcity of my comments recently... I'll pour myself a dram of something worthy and raise a glass to you next time I happen to find myself at the bar ;) All the best fella... (7 years, 5 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #11074: It would be impressive if you could add "s" to a word and make a new, shorter word. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #11064: Goodbye folks,I'm done with this but Thankyou.best wishes. (7 years, 5 months ago)

ZWiz @ #11064: Goodbye folks I am leaving puzzzgrid,can't hack it anymore .have fun (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #11064: That wasn't me either! It was Fake Wiz? (7 years, 5 months ago)

bonehead @ #11072: Not too difficult, couldn't see any red herrings, but quite enjoyable nonetheless (7 years, 5 months ago)

Yurissima @ #182: Yura does it for me. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Gabriel Goncalves @ #11068: A good grid for learning about photosynthesis (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10396: I enjoyed this grid, thank-you. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Sally @ #10397: For the RATES question how can the answer they all use the same letters be incorrect? Otherwise a good grid - thanks. (7 years, 5 months ago)

AlanP @ #11065: Nice one, diverted me onto Wizard of Oz. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11065: Nice ideas, although Harlequin doesn't quite work as a red herring (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #10909: Found this really difficulty. Only got one set.not a board games player. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #10968: This is a lovely grid. Very enjoyable. Takes a bit of unscrambling but is solvable. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #11035: I didn't get anywhere with this one. One group only. Hard. Big and red is a bit hard to understand (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #11055: This is a brilliant grid. I love it when the sets link so well. I didn't get the sets but I really take my hat off to the compiler. Well done! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #11052: Very very very very very hard. South American capitals. Dear me. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #10691: I did enjoy this grid. Didn't get the word ending set. I never do! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #10772: Didn't get the color set. Very impressive that set. Good grid (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #10905: Also tried bag singular and was refused! The word ending group get me as they always do. Nice grid though. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #10928: Yes, this is a nice grid. Good word ending set. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #11033: This is a very good grid. Didn't get Trent link ....very clever. Didn't get husbands link. Very enjoyable. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #11061: Chemistry is not my strong point. Would never get those sort. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #11062: Very hard. Got nowhere. Tolkien not accepted as answer either. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Al @ #184: Good fun puzzle. Monopoly is a classic! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Tony @ #11055: Nice grid, but it had me beaten (7 years, 5 months ago)

Poly @ #10823: Poor Poly (7 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #11052: Excellent and with good explanations. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11036: V nice apart from The alternating group, which I though was a bit weak even without breaking the uniqueness rule. Probably could have played on the haddock theme (dab, carp, flounder...) (7 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #11062: A washing tree is for hanging washing on... I did consider Ian McKellen and Christopher Lee but couldn't get any misdirection out of them. It's no fun without misdirection ;-) (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #11058: The thing is, Grinch, the grids are enjoyable and often amusing,they don't need to be funny...and your wish that grids are monitored and evaluated has been appropriately granted. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #11061: Great, really enjoyed! (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #11058: Now, don't get upset..it's just a game. (7 years, 5 months ago)

The Grinch @ #11058: Well if he knows you I'm sure he's very familiar with the latter ;) (7 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #11058: Irony or idiocy? (7 years, 5 months ago)

The Grinch @ #11058: I see Pol is not familiar with irony. (7 years, 5 months ago)

Heretic @ #7580: For the backwards footballers, "backwards footballers" was accepted, as they are footballers spelled backwards.

survivor @ #519: I really enjoyed this one, and the themes felt creative yet natural (though even after solving the grid, I didn't figure out the theme with Warehouse: I noticed two ended with names of rivers and got sidetracked). Being a crossword buff helped with Panic. (7 years, 6 months ago)

survivor @ #9525: Excellent grid, surprisingly difficult. I got zero on the grid, but once I saw the rows, I promptly connected three and should have gotten the fourth. Also, it's hard to construct a puzzle that's equally accessible to all nationalities (not a complaint, just an observation), yet this one is. (7 years, 6 months ago)

survivor @ #10700: Nice grid. I solved the grid but couldn't guess the common thread for the foursome with Fruit; it turns out I'd never heard any of those four phrases, but I enjoyed it anyway. (7 years, 6 months ago)

tucholsky @ #8775: Beware some strange phrases. throwing star way to obscure and added to make up numbers. suspect same for sick burn which I can't find in any reputable dictionary (7 years, 6 months ago)

Working for Hogshead, serving the delectable Fuggles Imperial IPA, with Fuggles Chocolate a Christmas treat ;) Excellent grid, very enjoyable!

Wheel @ #10755: Good grid. I wasn't up to date with the new elements before playing this. One thing though, the hyphen in Saint-Etienne made me think you had to be referring to the city. The band name did not have a hyphen. (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9097: I don't like cricket... oh no... I love it! Still, didn't help here, only 3/10 (even then, those three connections marked correct were only tenuously linked to the actual given answers - definitely wouldn't have survived a DRS review lol!) Nice theme, but too tricky for me... (7 years, 6 months ago)

bonehead @ #9097: the link on misspelt England cricketers didn't work so perhaps you should correct Trescothic, Stauss, Thrope I am a cricket fan, but still thought the grid impossible (7 years, 6 months ago)

BOBBO @ #1875: I feel like "script" could have maybe been accepted for the programming one. I was drawing the right connection, I'm just not an expert in the field and didn't say it nicely Henry being an SI unit though... I honestly thought you'd made a mistake, that's so obscure. Well done! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Zbj @ #10742: Good one, though I think Canteloupe has a U. Not that that makes any difference to the answer though. (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10709: Really enjoyable, I was initially let down by my Disney knowledge (or lack thereof!) but managed to muddle through! (7 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10707: Good one. I got the groups but with the wrong connections. Enjoyable grid. (7 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10711: Good one. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10714: Google Negative nancy? (7 years, 6 months ago)

bibo @ #10714: what's negative about Nancy. Am i missing something obvious? Pronouns/cases? Do you mean pronouns/articles? ein in Reinhardt? Not cool (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #10709: Nice! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #10711: Great grid. I didn't spot the connection between the connections until it was too late. (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10711: Nice additional connection between the four connections! Good work... most enjoyable ;) (7 years, 6 months ago)

AnimateMe @ #7812: Seriously??? O.O (7 years, 6 months ago)

AnimateMe @ #8494: Nice grid, I agree with Hubby though - laughable != easy, but I got the gist of what you were aiming at with the set. (7 years, 6 months ago)

AnimateMe @ #9999: Holy **** this is easy. There's easy, and there's blended up into liquid and spoon-fed. Damn. You won't need your thinking cap for this one. (7 years, 6 months ago)

AnimateMe @ #10294: Brilliant wall. Nice and easy, got a little more difficult on the last two groups, but well thought out! (7 years, 6 months ago)

AnimateMe @ #10573: Types of Tradesmen? Really? Professions or Jobs would have been better. I wouldn't call this easy. (7 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10688: Nice one! (7 years, 6 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10687: Good grid! (7 years, 6 months ago)

AnimateMe @ #10711: Nice one on the red herrings in there :) (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10588: Good work fella... always good to see Adult Swim references in a grid ;) (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10623: So many initial possibilities, only just conquered in time - enjoyed as always... (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10621: Most enjoyable as ever, nice mix... (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10693: Anything referencing Viz and the Pistols is good enough in my book ;) Good gridding! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Chigley @ #10683: Clever grid (7 years, 6 months ago)

Chigley @ #10685: Fun grid. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Chigley @ #10696: Enjoyable and clever (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10705: ...and yes Wiz, any grid containing popular culture (esp. Disney, pop & pokemon!) is far too niche for me ;) (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10705: Wiz... I agree there's always room for a range of grids on any number of subjects, niche or not (and would always encourage and further welcome this - never too late to learn something new!) - just in this case (like the previous grid #10692) there is a confusion to the answers deriving from the extremely similar nature of the groups - exemplified by two of the connections given as answers actually being listed as clues in other groups - making it particularly difficult to both find and then define connections. In addition, in my very limited (A Level Philosophy too many years ago to respectfully count!) knowledge, I was of the understanding that the orbits of planets derived from Newton's work formed part of the "Design qua regularity", not "Design qua purpose" in Paley's work... happy to be corrected on that! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10705: It's good to have a range of grids...and some of the sports and entertainment grids are niche too? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10702: Good,more tasteful than your name might suggest. (7 years, 6 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10693: Some nice ideas (7 years, 6 months ago)

BruPak @ #10705: Wtf? (7 years, 6 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10705: Maybe just a tad obscure for general consumption? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10696: Nearly very good. (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10624: Blues... I remember, I was there then too! Managed to fit some snowboarding between 1st & 2nd Tests - Mountains had just opened IIRC... (7 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #10624: NL... I did the last Lions trip out there, wrap up warm and take plenty to read. Cricket or rugby .... Love them both. Toast, I have to agree with you I've not spent much time on a plane. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #4907: Nice one (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #4915: Terrific! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #4850: logy not ology (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10692: Well at first glance, Contingent and Anselm are both incorrectly spelled. Ontological wasn't accepted when the answer given was "Ontological" and Teleological wasn't accepted for the "Design" group, and as Matt also already referred to there is the existence of a double clue, with "a priori" repeated across two groups... As for the remaining (Premise) group, it was almost impossible to categorise or accurately describe, tried epistemological arguments to no avail... (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #4872: I imagine you went with Jose Luis Brown in the end? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Josie @ #10692: Ah,got it,typo? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Josie @ #10692: What is misspelt? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10695: Well it's a good thing I solved this after 9pm... (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #10692: Bloody hell it was hard enough to get points with the mis-spellings and double clues but then to not give a point for typing ontological argument just seems mean. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Chigley @ #10695: Fun grid (7 years, 6 months ago)

Luke Price @ #10219: No Instructions (7 years, 6 months ago)

Dinah @ #10646: Pretty hard! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10677: Nice,though the answer for the herring category puzzled me a bit. (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10676: That St Patrick... didn't do too bad for a young boyo from Wales... tidy like! - as is the grid ;) Cheers Milo (or rather Sláinte!) Off now for a half a Guinness (or two... or three & maybe a whiskey lol) Happy St Patrick's Day one and all (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10676: Great Saint Patricks day grid! Thanks.. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10666: I think the spread and overlap of dates and subjects made this harder for me. (7 years, 6 months ago)

dave @ #8773: (7 years, 6 months ago)

Milo @ #10651: Great grid. Got caught out on the rug line despite knowing what one was! (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #299: @ajs - it's been shown in the UK for over ten years across various channels (including BBC initially), and is currently serially repeated on E4... (not in the same league as Father Ted though! - IMHO) ;) (7 years, 6 months ago)

Mintyfresh1 @ #2296: 16 seconds! (7 years, 6 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10651: Rug Doctor is a machine for cleaning rugs / carpets. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Mintyfresh1 @ #184: 47 Seconds! A new PB. Glad I stumbled on this page. Now I don't need to do any work today. :) (7 years, 6 months ago)

peter @ #10638: okay but didn't agree with snooker connection answer given. (7 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #10626: Good idea (7 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #10632: Interesting though the Manchester connection left me stranded. (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10624: Now this has given me a dilemma! I'm torn between siding with Will D and Cricket or with Blues and Rugby... I think I may have always been indecisive, although now I'm not convinced... I enjoy watching (and occasionally playing) both equally, so perhaps it comes down to whichever is in season? So I guess rugby at the moment - but then I'm off to watch the Lions this summer - this is harder than any grid! Or perhaps this ambivalence just shows me as being firmly on the fence on this one... (or just a complete reticence to commitment in general, my therapist would probably infer!) ;) (7 years, 6 months ago)

Ian @ #7787: As a footie fan particularly of Sir BR, it was very enjoyable, top grid! (7 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #10624: I was completely innocent of one of the subjects. Never taken much of an interest in aeroplanes. Keep it up! (7 years, 6 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #10638: Nice Grid - not too challenging! (7 years, 6 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10642: Guessing King Eric needs no explanation? ;) (7 years, 6 months ago)

RHM @ #10639: Loved the quiz, lots of Red Herrings :) Spin off as two separate words could be added for that group (7 years, 6 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #10632: Good! Loved the hidden 10cc theme (7 years, 6 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10626: I thought this grid was a bit specialised but still very obtainable with a modicum of knowledge. Really enjoyed this grid all the same, Top Banana (7 years, 6 months ago)

Mogster @ #10627: Another one full of people I don't know but again it didn't detract from the effort. Thank you. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Mogster @ #10621: Thanks I enjoyed it.k (7 years, 6 months ago)

Eh @ #10362: Who's Baby Ruth? Babe Ruth, yes (7 years, 6 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #10625: I think you've missed the point of these things Will D. Good grid. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #10624: GenghisK... When you say you tried a "Lady of easy virtue"... ... Ah Ha ! I see what you mean. The women in the grid may not be so easy with their virtues because they all like to see a cash exchange enacted prior to any favours being exchanged. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #10624: Howzat Will? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Frank @ #98: Ray and so do not exist in Solfegio (7 years, 6 months ago)

Tim @ #1942: Comedy duo's took soo much time to get right! Great wall. (7 years, 6 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10624: After a little delicate thought I tried "Lady of easy virtue" only to be denied the point! Fun grid though! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bobretd @ #10618: Great grid, like the 3 choice red herring for Morse (7 years, 6 months ago)

Johnnycomelatley @ #10622: Wasn't any red herrings so very easy x (7 years, 6 months ago)

Will D @ #10624: Rugby is not the finest sport... cricket is! (7 years, 6 months ago)

Will D @ #10625: The animal connection was a bit vague, but otherwise good. I thought bearded would be in the lady group because of the circus freaks. Or maybe that was a red herring... (7 years, 6 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10623: Bowie,which row do you refer to? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10616: Indeed Will D.... Nice grid YomHems. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10624: A little bit of thinking and guile but I solved it, without paying anyone! Good grid Blues. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10623: Decent puzzle Wisty although I was uncertain about one of the rows. Were they a mixture of words and phrases? I looked them up and I still am none the wiser. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10622: Who indeed. Who were those other people. Another tough one for me. Thanks. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10611: We live and learn. Tough one. Thank you. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #10621: Decent early morning tester. (7 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #10534: I enjoyed this grid although it took me loads of attempts to separate the horses and French animals. Well done. (7 years, 6 months ago)

chris @ #10622: Nice grid. I've never heard of Fact or Faked but thankfully I knew the Simpsons voice actors and the members of The Who so it all fell into place. Thankfully "actors" was accepted for that category. I will now look up and watch an episode to see what it's about. (7 years, 6 months ago)

TomHems @ #2661: Very clever (7 years, 6 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10617: Cracking Grid, good fun, but had me well and truly beaten. (7 years, 6 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10621: My guess is Wisty doesn't listen to THAT much garage music. Great grid with twists and turns but ultimately satisfyingly solveable. Classic Wisty! (7 years, 6 months ago)

pinger69 @ #10611: The "great" in the great depression refers to large not fun so it's not an oxymoron (7 years, 6 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10619: Easy, but good. I fell for the same problem as Tbone. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Tbone @ #10619: 4 out of 10 because I used symbols instead of typing words :( (7 years, 6 months ago)

EvieLore @ #10599: Nope, the bands were not intentional, I have never heard of any of them LOL Ok, "dwarves" can refer to both magical creatures (you know, Snowwhite's buddies) AND to people with dwarfism. (7 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #10599: I thought about this. Dwarves are a mythical race,as opposed to those with dwarfism. Help me out here? Am I right? (7 years, 6 months ago)

Chigley @ #10582: Well I liked it. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Lana Preston @ #10592: (7 years, 7 months ago)

Lana Preston @ #10598: (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10590: Clever grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10595: Hard but clever. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10599: Saw "Pixies" and "Dwarves" next to each other initially and proceeded to spend most of the time looking for US Alt-Rock/Indie/Punk bands... knew "Vandalism" was also also a band (albeit German - or Australian - dependent upon whether you prefer punk or electro house!), but thankfully managed to swerve this distraction just in time to complete the grid... (not sure if this was an intentional red herring!) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10598: Blimey! You're like a kid at Christmas with their new toy... lol ;) Very prolific gridding, and enjoyable to boot! One comment though, having the same square twice (80) can potentially cause confusion - and when incorporated with red herrings can exponentially increase the possible selections for each group... Overall just glad you're enjoying your new found hobby, keep up the good work! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10593: Only recognised the one group (LC)... though having seen the answers, I'm quite contented my musical tastes have failed me in this instance! It seems ignorance can be bliss ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10593: I really like this,great fun...couldn't complete it though.... (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10592: Another enjoyable grid (perhaps selfishly more so as I actually completed this one! - possibly shouldn't have started with your first "fiendish" attempt but worked my way up...) (7 years, 7 months ago)

EvieLore @ #10592: Thank you! I just disovered this site today and I'm having a ball creating grids! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10592: One of your best grids (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10593: lol I should've got the never gonna give you up group but I'm an idiot (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10595: Very fiendish, you got me I thought it was lord of the flies (7 years, 7 months ago)

T. McCoy @ #10563: Good come back (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10596: Jeez that was impossible... well done (7 years, 7 months ago)

EvieLore @ #10596: Thank you, thank you! I do my best to best you. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10577: Perhaps A bit straightforward (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10596: Crikey! that was a surfeit of endeavour for exiguous reward.... almost pointless! (my score that is, not the grid!) Excellent gridding, always enjoy a challenge and was certainly bested in this instance... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10596: Very smart stuff! :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10581: For the Dale group, tried synonyms of gorge or glen (couldn't think of further examples... and while I realise this doesn't quite fit with "trench", I struggled for a different way to encapsulate the group!). I also agree "Canyon" could be seen as a little tenuous as a homophone of "Kenyan" but again that could be just down to my multifarious accent ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10581: "Piece of Mind" is also more importantly (IMHO) an album by Iron Maiden! ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10580: Most entertaining... done with only seconds to spare! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10579: Nice grid - just one issue with one of the connections... it's not "words proceeded by" it would be either "words preceding / words prefixing" or words followed by / suffixed by", the usage of which would be dependent upon whether the answer is one compound word or two separate words... Enjoyable nonetheless! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10586: Well, it was International Women's Day a couple of days ago. A bit slow off the mark but I thought it was worth marking with a puzzgrid! :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10586: Not to be sexist, but any reason why all of the are female? Really enjoyed it though, I can't believe I didn't get Jo Brand! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10585: I've never heard of a pea coat... otherwise well done! Don't worry about the runway, I do that stuff all the time! 😂 (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10582: So sorry! I should have double checked as it seems to have autocorrected. I should have read valeric. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Juliette @ #10581: "Piece of mind" exists as an idiom, as in give someone a piece of your mind. It sounds identical, but is an entirely different idiom. And yes, maybe I should have included partners in the acceptable answers. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10582: I think that must surely be a mistake.shame,rest of grid was nice! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Juliette @ #10585: I apologize, I typed "runway" twice. If anyone knows how to delete this, please let me know. Thanks! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10579: Jolly gridding! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10582: I don't understand the names group- where is "Eric"? (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10584: Good grid, well constructed and fun. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10580: Good gridding; had me perplexed but pleased. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10581: Fun, but problematic. Should be "Peace of Mind" rather than "Piece of Mind" perhaps? would not accept partners for the TV group. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hal @ #10581: Yeah, the accent can be tricky. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10581: I did think about that..but sounded wrong "a" not "e" in my way of speaking. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hal @ #10581: Wiz, "canyon" is a homophone for "Kenyan". (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10581: Canyon? Am I being dense again? (7 years, 7 months ago)

mario @ #10572: enjoyed the grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

mario @ #10576: thank you again (7 years, 7 months ago)

mario @ #10577: enjoyed the grid , cheers (7 years, 7 months ago)

mario @ #10578: I thought it said ties ? my mistake , good though (7 years, 7 months ago)

mario @ #10579: nice one * (7 years, 7 months ago)

mario @ #10580: enjoyed your grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10578: Nice work! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Spellchecker @ #10579: Tounge should be Tongue, but this didn't stop me cracking the grid :-) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bun @ #10575: Bun not accepted? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10572: Wow very clever (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10576: Fun grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10573: It didn't accept bun... Tradesmen is not a great answer. Not a bad grid, though. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10571: Good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10577: Lolololololol (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10577: pretty good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

maggie @ #10576: Very well done (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10569: Good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

maggie @ #10579: What's wrong with tounge bonehead? Very well done nice and easy (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10579: please correct "tounge" (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10579: A nice easy puzzle for beginners. Good luck! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mrsdespard @ #10565: Nice grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10569: Aww, thanks Wiz. :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

mx @ #10575: Brilliant! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wes @ #10568: Enjoyable Grid thanks (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10568: Nice (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10561: I echo Chris,Wes NL and Wiz. It was a good grid and I'm sure you will take on board the constructive comments made. As for Aims- their aim is clearly off target and off the rudeness scale. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10568: Super gridding. (7 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #10561: Easy grid, but i wanted one i could do without much thinking so it was ideal. As was already mentioned though, please be careful linking words as BOOT, ANNIVERSARY and RED were all rejected so I didn't get as high a score as I should. But learn from it and keep those grids coming. (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10568: Great grid. Nice dummies (new age, New York). (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10569: You are way too good at this, Milo! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10565: Good crossovers. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10565: Good grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10542: Good grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10557: Fun grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10443: Very nice ,tho the polar group was a tad below par maybe? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Nigel @ #10555: Defeated Wenceslas as well - lots of red herrings as we kept trying to add letters to make new words. Lovely grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wes @ #10561: enjoyable grid :) quite easy but nowt wrong with that (7 years, 7 months ago)

Graham @ #10443: Tits McCoy! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10547: Enjoyed the grid but very simple and basic. But still sometime an easy grid is required! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10561: I'm with Wiz, entertaining grid - although perhaps the setter needs a little more flexibility in linking terms (not insisting on plurals - boot(s), and using more key words - football clubs etc. to ensure more answers are marked correct). Still enjoyable, and coincidentally the second grid in a row I attempted with Wedding Anniversaries, even incorporating two of the same clues as examples... second time in a matter of days something similar has occurred... I may start to become (ever more) paranoid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10561: I would disagree! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Aims @ #10561: The inventor of this grid is a dick! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10554: This might be my most favourite puzzle ever! Well done! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #10544: Hmmm seems a bit tenuous to me. I don't want a doctor doing many things -drinking, smoking, juggling or farting. To link it to guessing is a bit of a stretch.... still, better than any grid I can come up with. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Will D @ #10555: Very Fiendish! Very impressed with the links... how did I not guess any ?! One spot of improvement could be put in some people or some brands, otherwise great job! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10544: I see! Or I think I do...thanks. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Harry p @ #10544: Don't doctor, Guess Because you don't want a doctor to guess if he's operating on you or diagnosing you ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10554: Nice easy grid, ideal for first timers perhaps... however it's "Spaniel" and "Anniversaries"... (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10552: Agree with previous comments, and also it's Cavalier, not Cavilier... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10534: Vey nice- made a bit easier because I too had just done the wall with "the shining" theme :-p (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10555: Thanks for your point Mr. T; usually is used in plural, i.e. "levels" however I did check it out before submission and found many references to "sugar level", including the NHS and Wikipedia. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10298: @ Diablo: I was actually intending more of an academic than religious format, as a former Lecturer... my intentions were to disseminate the correct information, correct any errors attributed to the grid and perhaps provide some additional (and hopefully mildly interesting) knowledge to a (conceivably uniformed) small number of those in our online community... although I will henceforth try to address the issues of tone in my comments... I'd probably had a bad day at the office and just needed to vent - or was perhaps inebriated (those two aren't mutually exclusive!) ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10555: Extremely Fiendish. Is "sugar level" really a thing? (7 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #10554: spice isn't accepted. :( (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #2850: Liked the ... over the .... one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10166: Pretty straight forward (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bowie @ #10547: A fine effort. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bowie @ #10546: I enjoyed it but you may need to have a look at the accepted answers. Thank you (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bowie @ #10534: Enjoyable bright grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

King h @ #10551: Some vagueness (7 years, 7 months ago)

poohbear @ #10552: agree with Tbone (7 years, 7 months ago)

poohbear @ #10551: Last words of books was a bit broad. rhymes didn't work in some instances, and again, quite a broad topic. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #10552: Got the groups very easily but the links were not easy. Apparently the clumber group needs an "s" on the end even though the linking word really doesn't. And who is Shinana? Do you mean Shania? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10537: I have come back to this one after drunken lunchtime, I like it a lot, (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wenceslas @ #10537: Liked it a lot. Was thinking dates instead of olives, though - once revealed, it made a lot more sense. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10548: Sorry to be blunt but that was b*llocks. Things before or after? Three variations of spelling of one answer? And, already mentioned, doorter! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10551: The gorge group escaped me, but enjoyed the rest. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Brett @ #2069: Inconsistent nonsense (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wenceslas @ #10548: Doorter??? It was fun, but I can see a lot of complaints coming up :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jon @ #10544: DON'T DOCTOR WAN NEW TO ME (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10546: Nice one! Thankyou! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10544: Yep, that was a query of mine too! Harry P enlighten us? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #10544: Good grid! Bit puzzled by the 'don't doctor' - what does that mean? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: Croeso... Your welcome! (7 years, 7 months ago)

..wiz @ #10544: I did enjoy, tho the line with divination puzzled me a bit. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mark Lucas @ #8000: Damn you! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Harry P @ #10544: Hope you enjoyed, it's my first one so sorry if there's anything wrong with it (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10534: ...oh, and in addition just attempted two grids, chosen randomly, and both contained "Red Rum" - with neither referring to the horse! Coincidence, or something more sinister afoot? (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10537: I enjoyed this, despite it containing "Blue Moon" - to which I have an (irrational?) aversion, for "footballing - and more specifically unending nonsensical btl comments sermonising upon football by a certain Blue Moon on a certain daily newspaper" reasons... still, that's another story.... keep up the good work! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10534: Student grants are still available in a diminished capacity, as a portion of a maintenance loan, the amount dependent upon household income... along with numerous other grants and scholarships that often go unclaimed... spread the word, let people know what they're entitled to! ...also, (lazily!) put only "Backwards" for one category (marked incorrect, possibly justifiably) - think I need to be more fulsome in my answering in future ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10536: Was so fixated on h2g2 with "Don't Panic" I ran out of time... although that is becoming more of a regular occurrence, being easily distrac - ooh, a piece of candy! - sorry, where was I? Ah yes, must reread the "trilogy" again... Good grid, by the way... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister ztom @ #10536: Come and play puzzgird with us Danny. For ever and ever and ever (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister ztom @ #10537: Nice variety of concept in each of the groups; but could have used more variety in terms of the type of connection- and also some red herrings. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister ztom @ #10530: Liked it apart from Russell's, which was rather forced. (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10535: Great grid. Lots of possible combinations and some great misdirection. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10534: I enjoyed it, nicely constructed and a bit of E.G. has to be good. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10530: Liked it. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10540: Decent grid, thank you. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10537: I like olives and I like this grid. Thank you. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10530: Good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10532: You are on fire today Milo! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mario @ #10531: Thank you enjoyed the grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #10528: too random. too many can be in multiple categories (7 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #10527: Easy but good (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dickie @ #10526: @E.L.Wisty Yeah sorry I grouped them together and realised I couldn't think of a different word to describe them all. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10522: Enjoyable grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10529: Fun grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10522: Too/To/Two tricky for me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10524: Super Gridding! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10526: Well constructed grid, good fun. Only small negative- how can articles be synonyms of themselves? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10523: I don't know if you can, but can't see your mistake so far. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dickie @ #10523: I made a mistake on this one! How do I delete? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10512: Nice grid!and well-spotted Dickie! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10515: Gardener?but nice one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dickie @ #10516: Woops, meant to put it as 'Easy'. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dickie @ #10175: Great grid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dickie @ #10512: Cheeky secret category of Simpsons family members! ABEcedarian, BARTender, HOMERoom and MONAstery. Not sure if intentional. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10219: Think the symbols preceding the clues and the question marks after one in each group negate both the knowledge and acumen to solve the grid and find the connections... good ideas but perhaps less "signposting" required in future? (7 years, 7 months ago)

nathan barker @ #10219: hard (7 years, 7 months ago)

Sophie Coyne. @ #10219: the grid was okay to complete but found it a bit difficult to explain what the link was. It would make it easier if there were like boxes you could click on to show your answer like there is on the puzzle grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10513: For the "Wind" group, these could also be followed by "up"... don't know if that's too tenuous to award myself full marks ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10513: Tough, but very good. (7 years, 7 months ago)

anna @ #10068: well, I got it right because I sorted all 4 categories, but the reasons were in a different format % scored me 'incorrect' (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10497: It's not sand kassel if you are from the south of England! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10510: Great grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Tim @ #10505: Nice red herring. I thought neighborhood was going to be in the "watch" category! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10505: A smart phone I think. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #4136: What's not to like? Brilliant. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #4136: I loved (but missed) the fi group! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jeff @ #10498: Nice to see a bit of controversy... I am on the side of..... Good Grid. Tricksy, but good. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jeff @ #10481: very good... can I have another 20 minutes or so ? A tough test, but good. (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8815: good, variation, doable without being too easy (7 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #10505: The group without a capital letter was a give-away. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon @ #10488: Rubbish (7 years, 7 months ago)

fantom @ #10507: Good grid, but where's the "u" in Gem minces for ee cummings? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10500: A couple pf cognitive leaps required here...and methinks soup could've been bettered. But imaginative in parts. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Alani @ #10500: Ridiculous (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10500: got to be joking (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10506: yes, agreed re frozen, also hidden prepositions (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10508: first part very hard, but once the wall had been resolved I got the connections. Needed a couple more minutes. Good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10508: Thanks Wiz! :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10502: Rather nice . (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10508: And another ! Great fun... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #6094: I agree with the comments left so far. Let a decent grid down. (7 years, 7 months ago)

pinger69 @ #10500: spelling carat with a K abit of a stretch, not a valid solution (7 years, 7 months ago)

Matt Rowland @ #10498: Too many of the north and south clues were interchangeable. West, America, Pole... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Martine Sexy Bum @ #10497: Loved it but failed miserably. 3/10. The creator is a genius. (7 years, 7 months ago)

chris @ #10502: I said move quickly and that wasn't accepted. I chose a UK version and it still thinks fall is a season where it should be autumn. (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10498: Just passing through - no time to do the grid - but if there is more than one answer a grid doesn't work and LVGboxhead is right. (7 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10477: It may be a regional thing, but in my experience 'flaw' and 'floor' are usually pronounced exactly the same. That said, Peter Kay would probably pronounce it 'floo-ur'. (7 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10498: I thought the 'rule' is that there should be one (and only one) possible solution to a grid? (7 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10493: Agree with Badger: much prefer it to be either 'comes before...' or 'comes after...', not a mixture of both. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10493: Don't like 'before' or 'afters'. Just choose one (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10498: LVG- surely that's the point of tricky gridding. (7 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10497: Not rubbish, just pretty difficult. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10498: Great grid; loved it. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10499: Good grid, but would not accept diving as an answer. (7 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10498: Nice idea and a fun grid, but not a unique solution: many of the 'north' and 'south' groups are interchangeable. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Nigel @ #10498: Plenty of places to go wrong here...... actually quite pleased when I spotted Kanye West :-( (7 years, 7 months ago)

Teddy fed @ #10452: One group at least lacks red herrings? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10497: Bit harsh, very good in parts I thought. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Budd @ #10497: Rubbish. Too obscure. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #10452: You put two of the same answer sets as your other quiz. Defeats the point a little (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10496: Cheeky! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10495: Good connections. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10494: @E.L. - thought the same initially, just adding a "t" to each word (if that was the letter you were thinking of!) but wasn't sure about Devo(t), seemingly only an archaic spelling of devout... still, like yourself got it wrong...7/10 coz I can't spell ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10494: Good gridding. I got one wrong; adding just one of the letters rather than three, also spells words. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10490: Good categories! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #2115: Cheers Wiz, appreciated... hadn't thought of those, need to re-engage the synapses! Regarding Black Monday, seems I suffered a comparative blind spot - my thought processes were seemingly solely occupied with Black Wednesday instead, when we left the ERM... couldn't seem to see past this Tory tragedy and therefore unable to recall Black Monday from a few years earlier - although I was studying Economics at the time, so perhaps I had a greater interest (pun intended!) Hope all's good with you too... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #2115: There's Black Monday!financial crash,,,,and green room,various things,and yellow fever, another disease...any help? Maybe you've thought of these too...good wishes,pal. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10432: Good skills, most enjoyable! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10473: Now I'm confused as to which console my older brother had as a young lad... always swore it was an Atari 2600, but I distinctly remember pong was white on a green background, not black... seems it can't have been, or else my memory is diminished more than first imagined... or I'm just confusing myself furthermore by overthinking ;) Never mind, good grid nonetheless... (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10237: I'm with you Wiz... never forgiven her for stealing my milk... Thatcher, Thatcher, Milk Snatcher! Thinking back, perhaps that's where my inherent dependency upon the bottle was initially instigated? Something else not to forgive her for... plus all the *Actual* bad stuff – social housing crisis, 15% interest rates, privatisation, poll tax… although I guess this isn’t the place for political rants – perhaps I should have a lie down instead ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #2115: Think I may have overindulged this evening (there I go again Wiz!) but I can't quite fathom the "Monday" group... perhaps Y I Mann could furnish us with the colours (s)he were originally thinking of it would be "propa belta an' all!" I understand the expression "Red Herring" obviously, prevalent across these pages as they are, but I can only imagine "Scarlet?" for Fever, which isn't really an expression but an illness, and as for "Monday" and "Room" I can only summon up Blue and White respectively, for the New Order single and the KLF album... Help anyone? *Apologies for the poor attempt at canny Geordie speakin' like, on the assumption that Y I Mann is indeed from the North East...* (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10487: Great grid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #2115: Little falls? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10475: Quite enjoyed this! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #2115: What's LF school? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10237: Oh dear, I must disagree.. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #10237: Mrs Thatcher was the best PM this country has ever had! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #10235: Bit harsh compared to some of the rubbish we have had lately (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #10494: Nice grid, my era too (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10445: Marvilush heffort Milo. Make min a large one. (7 years, 7 months ago)

AnnaRobbie @ #10492: so many. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Nigel @ #10493: Very interesting grid. Liked the use of Stele (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wenceslas @ #10492: I liked this - so many conflicting connections. (7 years, 7 months ago)

AnnaRobbie @ #10476: Haha - it was the first connection i thought of actually. Maybe I overthought it and it became a bit tenuous. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Snide @ #2006: Words ending in 'o'... seriously?! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10488: Cheeky! (7 years, 7 months ago)

jon @ #6970: It is possible for two correct grids as red and black are interchangeable (eye and colour) making this not a proper board (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #10481: Chardonnay is a grape variety and wines produced from it. It is not a sparkling wine like the other three are.... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Michalis @ #10477: I have a peach impediment. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Michalis @ #10477: Michalis below was not the real michalis! I do not have a speach impediment (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10481: Nice (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10477: They are in the standard english list of homonyms . (7 years, 7 months ago)

Michalis @ #10477: I have a speech impediment. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Brighton &Hove @ #10477: I agree. I don't know anyone who would pronounce Floor the same as Flaw. Its ludicrous. There's a big difference between me being floored and me being flawed. Maybe stick to more common sounding words next time :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Barnz @ #10477: I'm British and I say floors and flaws the same way - I suspect you're being a bit too picky, as any change in the way I and many other people say it is imperceptible, and I think they are similarly pronounced enough for your point to be moot. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #10477: I have been completely flawed by Wiz and bonehead's comments and do not think this puzzle is floored at all! Keep up the good work! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10477: I pronounce them the same! (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10438: very difficult as some of the names overlap into other areas (7 years, 7 months ago)

Berd @ #10477: Sorry, I did enjoy it but I have to agree with bonehead, I don't know anyone who pronounces floors and flaws the same way, not sure where you're from but perhaps it may be an accent thing. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Comhaltas @ #10438: Thanks for the comments you three, sorry it was my first submission and I thought I had put in place the connections but perhaps I didn't get it all through. Thanks again :-) (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10475: nice try, but the grid connection was a bit clumsy (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10477: you may pronounce floors and flaws the same, plenty of people don't (7 years, 7 months ago)

peterunder @ #35: Good! Ram, Panther, Lion and Eagle are all.... but I might use that on one of mine! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10472: Very Nice red herrings: maybe too immediately clear what all the groups were though. 4/5 (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10476: Nice one. I'm guessing "Writers" was the fourth connection you thought of? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10466: Definitely the President then. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Tbone @ #10466: Not very internationally friendly and not the most politically correct descriptions (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #10473: I like dem bulls (7 years, 7 months ago)

Laura @ #10473: (7 years, 7 months ago)

pale fisher @ #10452: People in history????? (7 years, 7 months ago)

?? @ #10466: I think this might be Donald Trump trying his hand at puzzgrid? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10432: I like it (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10445: That I have Wiz, that I have... brought it upon myself, that's for sure, hoisted by my own petard... the "ol' self deprecation trick" to appease those I may have offended with my first tentative forays into the murky world of puzzgrid comments lol ;) Hopefully I'm on the whole better received (and perceived) now... and I am also partial to a dram of Dalwhinnie Milo, although if the opportunity arises it has to be Laphroaig first and foremost if we're drinking scotch... (only mentioned the Bushmills as the grid specified Irish Whisk(e)y!) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10447: Very enjoyable grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

le @ #1634: All nouns made it seem rather random (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10445: Dalwhinnie for me! :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10466: Imao a strange grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Casey Groom @ #10390: This is fun and it really makes you think. (7 years, 7 months ago)

greg06 @ #10446: Too hard I even don't get it. it's stupid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jemima @ #10447: Favourite grid in a long while! Love literary themes, and really good answer detail. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10445: NL YCN N CT, you've given us a clue from time to time! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10447: That is a very satisfying grid,Thankyou! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10445: Sláinte!... although to be fair I'm usually more of Scotch than Irish imbiber - Islay malts in particular, however also partial to Bushmills 21 year old when offered ;) @Wiz - seems I'm acquiring a somewhat of a reputation for enjoying the odd tipple... I wonder how that could have happened - unless you all just know me so well! (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10446: Nice, but could be more challenging (boxes that could be in more than 1 set). (7 years, 7 months ago)

ghostmoon @ #10446: Kinetic is spelt incorrectly, and the "add E" group is a little tenuous. But a good grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10445: Great grid...blues, toast and NL YCN N CT will like! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ian @ #10430: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 7 months ago)

JonnyH @ #10439: (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10433: Not really sure about some of the groups. Cant see many people getting this grid at all. hmmm (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10441: 1 second to spare! Nice one Milo. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jemima @ #10438: Enjoyed that (even if I was right up against the clock). Excellent and detailed answers... ...except I think you may have accidentally omitted stating the actual connections?! Were mostly self-explanatory, but would have been good to have my guesses confirmed. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10435: Point taken regarding "side". I did check it out and whilst a little redundant, there are many examples of the use of starboard side, not least a drawing by Turner of HMS Victory entitled Starboard Side of Victory. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10430: Good, enjoyable grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10437: Clever (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dinah @ #10435: Starboard 'side'? Is that actually a thing?? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10439: Good one! Some different categories which always makes it good. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10438: Good grid but some of the answers only give the names and not the way in which they are connected. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10433: Oh; a bit too tricky for me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10432: Very Clever, had me guessing; good fun. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ber @ #10438: Enjoyed it (7 years, 7 months ago)

Cleopat @ #10349: Didn't show the answers disappointing. (7 years, 7 months ago)

BB @ #1184: Annoying that 'Show' was not accepted for answer (7 years, 7 months ago)

Maurice @ #10193: Djibouti city is capital , as like Mexico and Mexico city (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10429: I have only heard of two of these people! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10436: It was really hard to work out what keywords to use for some groups. I tried to allow for various options, but as usual, award yourself points if you got it right even if it didn't accept your answer. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10424: Ooh, thanks! Well spotted! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10433: I get some of this, but rest escapes me,, (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mika @ #10431: The Reservoir Dogs one feels way too specific of a connection. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10425: Disappointed it didn't accept "Terriers" as an answer for the Boston group... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Lorna @ #9407: Good fun not to taxing couple of good red hearings (7 years, 7 months ago)

Lorna @ #10103: No idea what ptms is other than it was ok (7 years, 7 months ago)

Lorna @ #10076: Nice one was kicking myself for not getting rays (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10397: Funnily enough I was drinking wine by our church windows only this morning but I reckon they'd watered It down. Not like in the old days when I had to drain the chalice and sang louder on the way home than during the service. A very entertaining and informative grid. Thanks. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Gonad @ #10370: Fantastic grid. Hats off. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10407: Knockers,I can't take credit for that, the game takes a role, but I didn't realise the extent of the N.I. content until you pointed it out. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Knockers @ #10407: Was Northern Irish footballers a phantom category? Kudos if so. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10408: Oops forgot to say nice effort E.L. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Batwoman @ #3671: The words in connections were harsh (7 years, 7 months ago)

ConfusedOne @ #10405: Excellent! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10407: I had not seen the grid by Hooooooof before I submitted this; the duplication of one group is purely coincidence. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10405: Good stuff! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Norm @ #10385: Too narrow in content (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10405: Very pleasing, thank you. (7 years, 7 months ago)

scoobydont @ #10403: half right for this tricky number you sly fox ;-) (7 years, 7 months ago)

aiht @ #9886: The "Robin" group also has another connection: the last three letters of each word forms another word backwards. I may have been overthinking it ^_^ (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10396: I also had similar thoughts regarding the acceptance of "Apostles", but appreciate that may be too broad as the term generally covers all twelve Disciples... could be argued either way I guess - also thought "Four Evangelists" may be suitable, but alas not accepted either... (7 years, 7 months ago)

AM @ #10360: (7 years, 7 months ago)

AM @ #10395: (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10403: To tough for me but thanks. (7 years, 7 months ago)

AM @ #10396: The apostles was not recognised as the correct connection (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10397: Kat you are probably correct but only because you enjoy Piña Colada and dancing in the rain.... Or something like that. Anyway the solution is irrefutable or maybe saxophoable... ish (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #1792: foot in length........... not the best (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2045: huh? (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10396: David Prowse portrayed Darth Vader in the original trilogy, and while James Earl Jones did provide the voice, he was only credited in that capacity for Return of the Jedi... (7 years, 7 months ago)

peter @ #10396: good for beginners (7 years, 7 months ago)

Brer @ #10398: I found this one quite easy, which goes to show how we all have different strengths I guess. I suppose it says a lot about me that I'm most comfortable with Weird Al, Ben and Jerry's and slang (7 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #10396: Apostles acceptable? (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10400: Very clever and difficult. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Kat @ #10396: Nice grid, just misspelling of 'Fisher' could be misleading. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Kat @ #10397: Thanks, I enjoyed this quiz, but types of saxophone should be an acceptable answer for 'soprano', 'alto', 'tenor' and 'baritone' as well as vocal ranges :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bowie @ #10399: Impossible for me, try a million things had a million errors. Thank you anyway. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10395: Good one. ( I would have swapped out sorting and used "Home"....) (7 years, 7 months ago)

aiht @ #10172: Nice grid, but I'm a little disappointed that "herring" wasn't a red herring for the "red" group ^_^ (7 years, 7 months ago)

aiht @ #51: I also disagree. Sure, you can precede many things with "small", but these are specifically common phrases that start with small. "Small Judge" or "small merchant" is a valid concept, but it's not an existing phrase. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10397: Good,Blues ...glad to hear that! NL YCN N CT...you too,and I see that you have no problem too in typing straight:)))) (7 years, 7 months ago)

smnindelica @ #10397: good one - though I think it might be a bit over generous as I just guessed 'glass' for the wine one based on not much and got a point which I definitely didn't deserve ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Eh @ #10178: What's the point (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10397: I thank you. I have quaffed in the fashion of a very thirsty man. (7 years, 7 months ago)

(Obviously for me it's just a "Friday" thing, it's not like I've got a problem or anything... lol) (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10390: Wouldn't accept TBBT, but that's certainly more of an indictment on my laziness than the setter's rigour ;) Aslo, glad "Charlie" was accepted in lieu of "Willy Wonka" as I prefer my childhood memories to remain in the literary rather than cinematic sense... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10391: 'Blastodisc' sounds like something out of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Sigh @ #10392: Rechristen Dotty Man. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10393: Nice one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10392: Lots of points without any points = pointless (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10391: Very challenging, but well constructed. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10392: No comment! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Zoe @ #10212: Brilliant grid. Difficult, and clever. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Zoe @ #10391: So many snooker players....... Got the egg group, but that was it. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Zoe @ #10386: Decent grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10390: No red herrings that I could see? (7 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #10390: Pretty easy to find the groups but nice grid all the same. Thought the suicide squad group should have accepted Batman as a connection. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10383: Somewhat schizophrenic difficulty, and a scythe isn't really ax- like (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10389: Eh, I never worry too much about that in other people's grids :-) This was all right but felt very straightforward, probably because the Bush and Crab groups have been done a good many times before. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10389: Author here: I realized after posting the error in leaving out a certain response for the archer group. :\ Hope you can enjoy otherwise. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Nick @ #10376: Good twists liked this one even though didn't get right (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jemima @ #10387: *marshmAllow.. Good grid, otherwise. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10386: Personally struggled, but really enjoyed, and was able to see the connections at the end. Big D'oh feelings, felt good. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chris @ #10382: Really good quality. I knew the footballers and then remembered reading about Rita Ora's childhood and got it from that. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10384: Categories were a bit more similiar than I was expecting, made it much tougher than I expected. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10371: Good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10367: Enjoyable grid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10381: Good fun, but once the bat connection was spotted the rest all came together quickly. (7 years, 7 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10382: The last one was a guess (I went - wrongly - for Croats), but the rest took very little time. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #8300: Really enjoyed, liked the decoys, good variety of categories. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10381: Really enjoyed this, not too many decoys, but enough to not be overly simple. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #8300: Good one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10376: Good stuff! (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #7239: pretty good, 4 distinct threads with good red herrings (7 years, 7 months ago)

KJ67 @ #10369: Decent (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #10377: Iffy about so many categories being of the same general format. Good attempt, though (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10379: Hadn't heard of many of the answers in the Mike group. Enjoyed, though. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10376: Just enough decoys to make you play smart, or possibly get tripped up, well enjoyed. (7 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #10368: Seriously? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10374: Category acceptance seemed a bit wonky on one or two, but overall, was nice and not too hard. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10371: A nice set. The Rama group was well outside my knowledge range, but was able to make the connections; always a good feeling on a wall. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wes @ #10369: great grid. solved it but didnt get the last connection (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wes @ #10371: enjoyed this grid, thanks. purple group stumped me :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10371: Fine effort Milo (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10376: Nice one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10366: Well done on a unique grid. Too tough for me and I'd be interested to know how others scored as I just sat looking blankly for 3 minutes. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #10376: Agreed: a starfish is not a fish. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simonindelica @ #10292: Perfect, got 10/10 with 15 seconds to go - great job. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simonindelica @ #10376: Good grid, but pretty sure that a starfish is not a type of fish - didn't accept 'sea life'... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simonindelica @ #10369: Terrific grid, two minutes of red herrings then it all fell into place. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Timwi @ #10369: Awesome! Loved it!! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Booooo @ #10338: River not accepted??? Jennifer not accepted??? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Timwi @ #4913: Awesome, really love this one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10368: Seeing the connections was not too bad, and the last was almost instinctive, but describing them was a beast. Good work. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10343: Easy indeed, but the lack of what the categories should be is disturbing, as is the inconsistent capitalization. I knew the responses, but did not score for two of them due to interesting decisions on keywords? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Elias @ #10324: Enjoyable. Jackson group was hard to get credit for (I didn't), but I did feel appropriately challenged. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10366: Very creative but too tricky by far for me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10365: You could just add S but a good grid otherwise. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Timwi @ #8579: I typed “preceded by im” (for Pact/etc) and “geography” (for Sherry/etc) and neither was accepted. Very bad! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Riffraph @ #10281: Same in parts because I needed two very similar grids for a birthday party but one needed to be easier and one harder... this was supposed to be the harder one! I know Luton is a bit of a cheat! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Timwi @ #10353: All of the category names are gibberish, and thus correct answers are not accepted. (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8245: I got all the categories right but my category names were not accepted (eg major Tom, protective items instead of safety. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10353: Wiz, looks like the asylum has finally got on line. It has been fun but it might be the end unless steps are taken. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Al @ #1379: A nicely produced grid. Very satisfying. Didn't get the fore set. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Al @ #1601: This was a nice strightforward grid. I too have not heard of the phrase plastic age but figured it must be in that set. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Al @ #1152: Rowdy roddy? Me neither. Ran out of guesses on the piper set. Nice grid though. (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10298: Further to previous comments, I'd add that West Indies isn't a country either (if West was your intended compass point for that particular connection), but a region in the North Atlantic that incorporates a number of countries and territories across three archipelagos. It also does have a "supplement partner" in the form of "East Indies" which dependent upon definition used either covers Indonesia and surrounding islands, or additionally the Malay Archipelago and in a final context also mainland Southeast Asia... While the Dutch did explore much of Australia's Western and Southern coastline (and small parts of Northern Australia), there was no attempt by themselves to permanently settle or establish colonies on the continent, therefore Australia should not be considered a former Dutch Colony. Finally, one presumes "Chine Calendar" refers to the "Chinese Calendar"... Great ideas, unfortunately let down by the errors... (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10302: I don't think you can edit. But marking is a lot harder than many people realise and is a perennial source of complaints. As Bonehead and many others have said people should just award themselves the mark. Thanks for the grid and don't concern yourself- we all make mistakes (well maybe not me....)

NL YCN N CT @ #2616: "Fire" wasn't a Prodigy single... while it and "Jericho" were both separate tracks from Experience, they were released together and the double A-side was entitled "Fire/Jericho"... *checks record collection for original 12" for verification, then listens to "Burning Version" repeatedly* (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10282: Would have been better if a few more of these were words. Som nice groups though (7 years, 7 months ago)

Jl @ #98: (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2614: the binary one is difficult, but all sets are quite different, so pretty good (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2616: agree (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #2642: Indeed! Who is she? And I didn't much like the hilary clinton line..shame,good ideas... (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2621: very good. I liked the anagrams (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mrsdespard @ #2661: Nice and straightforward grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2642: is Zara Phillips best known as a cousin? And who is Flo Carrol? (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2643: who is this buckley dude? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10280: Very, very good. I especially like the fact that for each of the groups you've put something in there as a giveaway - Brazzaville and Ironbridge, for example. Could easily have replaced those with something much harder, and you were right not to. One of the best I've played. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10282: Enjoyable grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10282: Tough and testing. Thank you. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10267: Fine effort (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10281: Despite what the airport might try to claim, Luton is definitely not part of London! (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10260: Good one, though the Addison line was outside my narrow field of knowledge of popular culture. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10282: Ooh, that's rather excellent! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #10280: A lot of frowning and growling followed by ........ OF COURSE!!!!! Excellent grid, thanks! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10278: You're a cheeky boy, Ash Ketchum! ;) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10274: Really liked this one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10279: Ps if they are what I think they are,it is far too broad a category imao. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10281: Nice, but same in parts to your previous one, why? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10279: Narrow,,,my point exactly! What are we missing? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10280: So clever,so obscure. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #10276: Quality grid thanks (7 years, 7 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #10280: I got the scrabble line but the rest bamboozled me! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10276: Good stuff. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Narrow @ #10279: What are blend words please? Otherwise fun thanks (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10271: Not too wordy, tho maybe non words best avoided! But good one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wes @ #10271: Yes I agree with the capitalisation but the website asks you capitalise all words. Thanks for the feedback. Think it was too "wordy" myself actually. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10279: Good but the smoke line perplexed me! Please explain... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10277: Good fun (7 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #10276: Nice grid. Didn't accept day for the holidays though which I think it should as they are all known as memorial day, independence day, etc. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ewan @ #10276: Awesome grid. Good work. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Melanie @ #10100: Nice one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Vital Spark @ #10098: Good one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Vital Spark @ #10098: Good one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ash Ketchum @ #10278: meh (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ash Ketchum @ #10277: Cool but a bit tricky (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10270: Really liked this one - Much better than 10270 due to all the clever red herrings, despite the misspelling of Mitchell. (And the tv show would not allow so many surnames! ) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10271: All four groups were "wordy", and the Nship one felt very forced ( two non words?!). There is always time to come up with an alternative- for instance just While typing this I thought of view and mission... (7 years, 7 months ago)

louise @ #10275: good grid, solved it but didnt know the reference to red queen ? a bit obscure for general knowledge (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dora T @ #10274: My sort of grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #10094: This was a lot easier than the last one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10269: very tough grid. struggled there, cheers (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10270: Nice grid but surprised others haven't said that Mitchel has two Ls... Mitchell... needs changed. Rest is very good. Cheers (7 years, 7 months ago)

Big Phil @ #10271: Enjoyed the grid but think Nship should be nship as its certainly not capitalised N, bit off putting. But apart from that I liked the grid. cheers (7 years, 7 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10273: A excellent, varied grid. Caught me out with the dogs... (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8482: Good variety, high quality grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8487: Never heard of "In Dubious Battle" before. Could have been a better-known Steinbeck book (Cannery Row?) Otherwise ok (7 years, 7 months ago)

Fidel @ #10123: Jolly good grid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8192: unusual grid, more like first round of only connect, but very good (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8194: Bunyar, you are the best (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8197: excellent grid, full complement of red herrings, like the sh*t connection (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #10270: Nice crossovers Wes. Good grid:-) (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10270: thanks Wiz :) Maybe- been solving them for a few days so i thought id give it a go myself! (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10267: As a cockney mongrel I would like to correct your spelling but my recent attempts at comments don't give me any high ground . Nice grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10270: thanks Wiz :) Maybe- been solving them for a few days so i thought id give it a go myself! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10270: Ps first of many? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10270: Indeed I shall! Great grid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10270: my first attempt at a grid so be nice :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10267: enjoyed this 10/10 for me (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10269: tough grid! 4/10 for me (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #6303: (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #6303: great thanks (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #2948: not great but thanks anyway :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10268: difficult (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10268: Good grid, but a solid 1/10 for me! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10267: Super grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10204: Worf is from Star Trek I believe. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dora T @ #10259: really tough- got the idea but couldn't work it out- good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dora T @ #10260: nice (7 years, 7 months ago)

Suzieq @ #10204: Worf?! (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #3500: poor grid. weak connections, etc (7 years, 7 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #10264: How so, Blue? You Aussie, a brony or both? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #7646: The Shadows if my memory serves me right! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blue @ #10264: You did for me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bigman @ #7609: A bit too specific (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10262: Excellent grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bigman @ #7646: Jet Harris? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bigman @ #7681: Brilliant red herring! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10262: Really clever. Liked that a lot! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10262: Thank you, good effort and some great words ! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Blues @ #10259: Anyone who can get a bit of Willie into a grid is fine by me. Nice one Milo. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10260: Challenging and good fun. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bowie @ #10259: Marvellous Milo. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Bowie @ #10260: Decent grid although one of the rows was a bit too specialised for my breadth of knowledge. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10261: Clever and fun (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #5156: nice idea if v easy (no red herrings though) (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #5158: pretty good, though aren't greed and gluttony the same thing in deadly sins terms? (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #5159: Good one (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10078: I agree. Nothing wrong with being easy. Nice idea! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #10078: Stop moaning (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10259: Well constructed and challenging. (7 years, 7 months ago)

bimbo @ #10247: one word official names? fiendishly ridiculous. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Spencer @ #10078: Far too easy (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10252: Agreed (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10259: Top stuff.Really had me thinking but I didn't get half way. Cheers. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10253: Forgiven toast,always entertaining... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Paulo @ #10218: Not sure more is a homophone for moore. Not where I live anyway! The more football questions the better as far as I'm concerned! (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10253: And again then (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10253: Sorry about the typos just just. (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10253: Paulo. The difference as far as I am aware is that when house is used as a noun you pronounce the so to thyme with mouse but at a verb the is sounded as a z. Mind you there was a song about a mouse which went Hoots Mon there's a moose loose aboot this hoose. (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #3125: claude, Edward etc..... first names should be specified (7 years, 7 months ago)

Paulo @ #10253: Rain man needs capital M How can 'house' be pronounced in two different ways? Maybe it's an accent thing, but in Scotland it can only be pronounced one way - if you have in mind a pronunciation that involves a 'z' sound, that's a bit tenuous for me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10253: Good grid but just a small thing, lower case 'm' in Rain man was really distracting - I kept thinking was it there on purpose? Bit annoying (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10254: Bit tough on the song titles, The Fly was a U2 song too. Otherwise good (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10253: Good relaxing grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10246: Entirely agree with Dora T and Hubby. (7 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #10205: Nice idea. I enjoyed it. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10239: Great grid! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10252: Enjoyable grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10253: Clever (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10253: Thankyou, good grid, and Red Salamander! They are terms we often confuse, I think. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10253: Words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently are called *heteronyms*. (Or homographs - but homographs do not necessarilly need to be pronounced differently - the words just mean different things) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10239: Actually...this was a varied and fun grid imao! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10247: You say fiendish, I say wilfully obscure (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10249: Great gridding. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #10249: Nice red herrings, good solid grid, thanks (7 years, 7 months ago)

Apostrophe police @ #8745: Companies not company's (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10249: Good grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #3478: sad. grids have to be word- and letter- perfect - that's the whole point (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #8472: when you've 1 obvious misspelling (Galverston) you wonder about the other words, such as Paultry (another word that doesn't exist), and it becomes more difficult (7 years, 7 months ago)

Funkster @ #10135: Nice one. Just the hidden words beat me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10248: Fun grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10247: Very informative but so difficult! (7 years, 7 months ago)

anon @ #10241: Two groups too similar so not fun, only when you see the links defined can you separate (7 years, 7 months ago)

J @ #10235: Thought this was ok apart from the double saracen. Actors born in 74 was a bit tricky but it accepted just actors as an answer so that's ok. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #732: You are hilarious! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dora T @ #10246: nice grid- agree re not accepting bi but still a good grid and solvable (7 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #10235: I'm with The Grinch... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #10246: It was a good grid and I enjoyed solving it. There is a slight problem with your group explanations because I think they may be too specific. "Groups of people" didn't work, "bi" didn't work, "geometry" didn't work - just needs more general keywords and will be great!! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Josh @ #4180: Yeah I didn't even get close. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Nb @ #10242: Not a unique solution. Dart and Club can swapped, and arguably Pea and Cue or Tee. I suppose that's the problem when you try and squeeze in a lot of red herrings. Still fun (7 years, 7 months ago)

Dora T @ #10166: top gridding (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10212: Quite stringent answer expected for the Camel group, wouldn't accept British military aircraft... (7 years, 7 months ago)

No Chance @ #10059: Deja Vu (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10234: Grinch, what a mood you are in.Is it the weather? (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10234: What is this nonsense?! Never set another grid you utter utter moron! (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10212: Awful. No fun in this. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10183: Don't get the love for this. Far too easy and Irvine and Paisley aren't cities. Pretty poor. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10236: btw ignore Mister Tom - his grids are worse than yours. Other than being too easy this grid was acceptable. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10236: Mindnumbingly easy. Finished in 20 seconds. yawnarama city! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Primrose @ #2297: Excellent grid. Doesn't need to have obscure words if the crossovers are plentiful (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10217: Too many word groups - vary them or your walls will stay awful (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10230: People saying this is good have really low standards. Countdown is NOT a quiz show Two word puzzles in one clue? Poor. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10235: This is utterly abysmal. Please never set another grid! Two Saracens, names that go either before or after? The specific nature of the actors? Just pathetic, utterly utterly pathetic! (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10232: Would have been a good grid had one of the clues not also been an answer to another group. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10237: You can't have just an 'associated with.....' group. It's not tight enough. Shame really because this grid had potential. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10239: Another disappointing grid. People really need to up their game (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10240: This is just utterly attrocious. Please look at some good grids and maybe try again after some practise. (7 years, 7 months ago)

The Grinch @ #10241: Two of the groups are too similar making this near impossible and not fun. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Grammarian @ #7760: why have you put an apostrophe after Jonathan? (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #2850: Didn't accept pronouncements, proclamations, declarations, notifications etc. or synonyms thereof... (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #566: Nice one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #10240: Without giving spoilers, one category is far, far too broad. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Pigswill @ #2034: And Jo is not unisex. (7 years, 7 months ago)

meme @ #10231: (7 years, 7 months ago)

meme @ #10239: good (7 years, 7 months ago)

meme @ #10240: ok (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #2037: good, liked the red herrings (7 years, 7 months ago)

KitMit @ #10205: I'm not enough of an arse to say I found it easy. I'm glad nobody else is. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Garreth OMahony @ #2850: Didn't accept papers (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10237: Nice One! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #10237: Excellent grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #10240: Too tricky. Too obscure for me. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #10236: Canal group threw me, otherwise not too tricky. Fun though. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Keith @ #10235: Poor (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10239: Indeed it was! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Pele bones @ #8769: Nice. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10239: New to you, was it? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10234: So that's what it was! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Super dupe @ #10240: Some very obscure ideas I think... (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10234: Nice try, but get your facts straight next time (7 years, 7 months ago)

No Chance @ #10038: Rap (7 years, 7 months ago)

bonehead @ #10235: We're supposed to know that those 4 dudes were all born in 1974. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #10236: I thought the grid was ok. I didn't get the point for regnal names nut I gave it to myself any way:-) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #10237: So glad you didn't have Thatcher and honesty in the same group. I wouldn't have been able to find a connection there. Fun grid, thank you!! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10239: Apologies! Have been enlightened... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz @ #10239: Nice, but I think the 'small' is a bit of a stretch! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10232: Ingenious for the "Livid" group! Excellent work... (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10234: Not sure which Organisation's figures were used (IMF, World Bank, United Nations, CIA, others?) but in every case Brunei is not in the top four... Singapore has a higher GDP than Brunei in each set of figures cited, while Liechtenstein and Bermuda amongst others also feature higher than Brunei on certain lists... Also, at the present time Kosovo is only partially recognised, therefore not as yet a Sovereign State in its own right and not listed as one of the 195 independent Sovereign States. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Pele bones @ #8541: Nice one. Good red herrings (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10236: This didn't quite work for me and I'm try ping to work out why. The Liverpool group was v good, and I guess you started from there as it's got 2 red herrings for the other groups. Trouble was I think that the solver can quickly brute- force two of the other groups without working out their precise connection- and the precise connection was a lot tougher than finding the group. (For a southerner.) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10235: Repetition of Saracen... (7 years, 7 months ago)

Garreth OMahony @ #2912: Teach is Gaelic for house. It's pronounced teack (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #357: ...and when did the "select an animal" change? Automatically selected deer without a second thought! How fiendish of it to change - or perhaps I should just pay more attention! (7 years, 7 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #357: @ ttttt... I think the answer may refer to the actor / musician Jack Black... (School of Rock, High Fidelity, Tenacious D etc.) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #10098: Enjoyed it, but had to google Para Handy afterwards. Bit obscure that one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Ragman @ #10231: A ball race is the channel the ballbearings sit and run in inside a bearing. (7 years, 7 months ago)

ttttt @ #357: Seems to be a wrong answer! Jack black should br black jack IMHO (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10231: Loved It! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Milo @ #10232: Especially liked the 'Livid' category. :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

Wiz wiz @ #10234: Something confusing for me,,,not sure what! (7 years, 7 months ago)

Brer @ #10220: Sorry anon, you're right, gnome isn't a distro. My mistake. Also fortunately bonnet - hood was doesn't affect the solution. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10232: Good grid. Very enjoyable. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10231: Good grid but I didn't know what a ball race was. (7 years, 7 months ago)

pepsicle @ #10234: Decent grid (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10216: Enjoyable, though I don't know Pokemon (7 years, 7 months ago)

Chigley @ #10230: Really clever grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

ash ketchum @ #10094: wow! (7 years, 7 months ago)

ash ketchum @ #10152: cool (7 years, 7 months ago)

ash kechum @ #10152: cool (7 years, 7 months ago)

wes @ #10216: what is the red group?? (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10218: I don't have a problem with having two football ones in one grid. They're different types of answer. Very good grid. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Simon K @ #10217: Hey ZBJ. Really nice idea. It's always good to have lots of potential red herrings in there, clues that might fit into more than one group. But in the end, as Red Salamander points out, there should be just one final solution that works for all the groups. Keep trying though! (7 years, 7 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10231: Apologies, my spelling is awful. (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10231: Good one! I think Hamster should have no "p" though? Got stuck on Ball race so it beat me, but good fun. (7 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10230: Good start to the day! (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #4548: Tough one. Got a call in the middle so that's my excuse for not getting it :). (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #7062: Nice one! Just in time. (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #368: Very good. Didn't manage to separate them but got all of the connections. (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #7712: One of the best so far. (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #1875: Nice one! (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #96: Very good! Went the long round but got it in the end :) (7 years, 7 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10197: Good one! Just out of time when I got it :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10204: Good one! Enjoyed this. Thanks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10205: Nice one! Relatively easy but good idea. (7 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #10220: gnome is a linux desktop environment not a distribution (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10225: Solved without being sure of the connections. The anagrams are tough. Good one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10220: Found this one tough but enjoyable. Good one! (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10217: Thanks a lot for the comments; I think you're right about being too similar and I didn't know whether the overlapping solutions would make it good or annoying. Thanks again. (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10218: Thanks for the comments. Yes - should definitely have not put the two football ones together. Will mix it up next time. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3409: golden boot winners rugby union kickers. some flexibility needed (7 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10217: A nice idea. A pity that there is not a unique solution: Linger/Ringo can be interchanged with Ringer/Lingo. Jingle/Dingo can be interchanged with Dingle/Jingo. Linger/Single/Dingo can be interchanged with Singer/Dingle/Lingo. etc (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #10225: I think SWAT is only US police not military (7 years, 8 months ago)

Confused @ #10017: I have only just learnt to select the deer, three four knock at the door, different. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10074: better than it looked - I didn't work hard enough on the anagrams (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10088: synonyms for grieving noisily not acceptable. clumsy but what do you say to get the point? (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10089: 2 very similar connections (sounds like). Otherwise ok (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10091: largest stadia? very obscure (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10092: good (7 years, 8 months ago)

Diane @ #10033: (7 years, 8 months ago)

Diane @ #10034: Enjoyed this (7 years, 8 months ago)

Lorna @ #9539: Fun grid not too difficult but still a nice couple of red hearings (7 years, 8 months ago)

Diane @ #10065: There is an error in this grid - 2xcaramels (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10218: Nice grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #649: alternative pronunciations seems ok to me, and girls' names as well as women's names, so I got 10/10 so there (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10203: family member link almost impossible (same family member would be better) (7 years, 8 months ago)

KenLuxuryYacht @ #10166: Oh, that's good. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10205: easy-peasy (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10206: very hard but fair. Welsh colours very tricky (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #10218: Very good work! Enjoyed solving it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10207: I agree with gusgus, otherwise good grid. a- should suffice for (a) far etc. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10208: my brain hurts (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10225: the anagrams one - I put down a completely wrong link but it marked it right. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10209: pretty good, though tricky (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10217: 3 of the groups are too similar (add letters). (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10218: 2 football related links, variety needed (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7192: excellent, and not too difficult (7 years, 8 months ago)

KJ67 @ #10218: Liked this one a lot. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Potato @ #10213: Good grid but needs more options for answers. I plumped for "middle" rather than "central" (7 years, 8 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10218: Fell down on the football supporter! Good grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Fraggle @ #10220: Bonnet = Hood, not trunk (7 years, 8 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #10220: (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #10223: I like to be positive so I would class that as the grid with the most potential for improvement that I have ever played! (7 years, 8 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10213: Didn't get back/off/centre/final so harder than it looked! Enjoyed it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Potato @ #10217: Liked it and did okay but I thought Bing,Ring,Ding,Bong were all noises a bell could make - and I still think that could be a viable answer. (7 years, 8 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #10223: thanks for putting symbols..! Also, some rather inconsistent definitions and not enough flexibility of permitted answers. Interesting idea though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10217: At first glance I thought it looked like nonsense & nearly passed it by....WRONG. It's actually a really good grid. Only got 2 groups right in the time. Makes total sense. The groupings aren't too obscure, but they are hard to figure out quickly. Enjoyed it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #2297: Berries was a killer. I too read elder as eider. If this was deliberate than that was a psychological master stroke. Totally prevented me for searching for a further category. Good grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #1396: Moons was a great category. Lots of opportunities for red herrings. Good grid. Solved at last moment.... Always enjoyable when you grab the last grid with seconds to spare! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #3712: Really good grid! Hidden stuff clever and spotted last minute. I loved this puzzle. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #2296: This is atop grid. Nice to solve. Monopoly is a classic. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #184: Top up. Didn't get the top category. I didn't try hard enough. Got nine thought and enjoyed it. Good puzzle. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #186: This is a great puzzle. An absolute classic. Really enjoyed it. Hidden numbers....another classic. Well done. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #2661: Gun parts foxed me. Rest good. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #98: Top puzzle. Solvable and fun. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10217: :))) (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #1708: Very good! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10217: I enjoyed this, Thankyou. Too hard for wiz to get in the time,but fun! More please... (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10193: Nice one! (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10217: My first try. It's really hard to tell whether it's easy or difficult when you know the answers so I appreciate any feedback. (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10209: Terrific grid. I was ever so pleased with myself for getting 7/10. (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10212: I also spent most of time trying to get snooker players! Good one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10216: I didn't to very well but a good wall :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

ZBJ @ #10154: Nice one. I like the homonyms. :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

animus @ #10183: Nice one! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Alani @ #10196: All a bit silly - pigmy hippos don't grow on trees either (7 years, 8 months ago)

gav @ #10212: good grid I spent most of my time trying to get the snooker player nickname group! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Squiz @ #10193: Maybe should have put nature reserves instead of National Parks for the second rank. I think all is fair in grids. I hadn't a clue that adding letters was the link until I saw them all lined up. This is getting addictive (7 years, 8 months ago)

Squiz @ #10183: Found it easier than the medium ones which I backed out of. Maybe I have a twisted mind. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Squiz @ #98: Too hard for me (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #10212: Some nice touches. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10203: Hard! (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #10213: Liked the theatre line and the arrow is making me look for my Buffalo Springfield LP. My wife does not feel so warmly towards the grid . (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10205: Easy but fun. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10209: Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10213: Interesting ideas (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #10216: A bit beyond me in subject matter and not sure about some of the words but overall a decent grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Squiz @ #10211: Could only do them in the time because they were on the site. Excellent mix of hill related questions (7 years, 8 months ago)

Squiz @ #10215: Only difference was I didn't panic. Nice grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Squiz @ #10210: Panicked when I saw it. Could have done better if I had thought "rock climbs earlier (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10129: Something fishy going on with this grid... ;) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #10212: Ooh, that's sneaky! At least two full sets of red herrings. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10206: Thanks J, that makes sense I guess... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10206: Must admit his had me stumped (and I'm Welsh) :-) (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #10206: Did a bit of digging on snow. Can mean heroin, cocaine, or amphetamines but more often cocaine. (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #10174: What about " sit upon" as favoured by the headmaster in Please Sir? Glad to see you attempting a bit of taste and refinement anyway.You should set more grids before opening time! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Karen @ #10196: A hard grid, but well constructed. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10195: Bowie - seems everywhere's a city in LA County, even Vernon (population 112!)... go to the county next door and there's a town with a population of 70,000 - no wonder we get confused, no consistency! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10206: I think snow = heroin! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #6206: Congrats on the wheel group... most entertaining! Also, it's Lincoln, not Lincoin... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #6206: I liked the wheels. Hadn't a clue but really liked them! (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10206: I was a little araf with this one! (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #10207: Good grid. Didn't accept my answers for "a" or homophones. Used bow=beau which should also be valid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #10206: Snow = cocaine and didn't accept drugs. Welsh!? And 2 of the colours had English names. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brer @ #10154: Singers should be accepted for the solo musicians one, one word names are self-evident. No one who guesses singers is unaware that they are one word names since it's sitting in front of them. (7 years, 8 months ago)

GusGus @ #10193: This is the best, most engaging grid I have come across so far. (7 years, 8 months ago)

GusGus @ #10184: It does accept anagram as a correct connection. Maybe try again (7 years, 8 months ago)

Dainamite @ #10195: Yeah, it's a city in Los Angeles county, California (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #10184: Not a bad effort, didn't allow anagram as an answer. Yes... Red Dwarf. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10193: That is a common kind of connection and a good one I think... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #10195: Not sure if B.H. Is a city. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bowie @ #10193: Pretty simple grid, not sure about the concept of adding or removing letters to form connections. But thanks anyway. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Dm @ #2296: Not bad!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Dainamite @ #10193: Thanks for the positive feedback guys, glad you enjoyed it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pome com @ #10196: No connection? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Gusgus @ #10196: Sorry Barry, but this grid doesn't work for me at all. Only my opinion but I think some of the connections either don't make sense or are flat out incorrect, with no real interlinking going on (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10196: I didn't think chewbacca was what you said he was,Barry? (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10193: Wonderful gridding; one of the best. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10196: Bit like the parson's egg. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10185: A house for ducks on a pond or lake, usually wooden. The equivalent of a dog kennel. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Joe 90 @ #10182: Okay idea, but a bit clunky. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Joe 90 @ #10185: Duck house? (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3668: like Jil, all right but 3 marked wrong because of the hyphen. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3672: everyone says NATO alphabet now. Don't they? (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3685: poor stuff. Setter should take a lesson on how to set puzzles (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3687: those years............ crazy (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #10184: I loved Red Dwarf :-) (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3693: impossible (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #10193: Excellent grid. Has me guessing for a long while but cracked it in the end! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #10186: Liked this. Village people link drove me mad. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #10177: Nice. Tubes link got me thinking. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10182: True,that does for Biro then! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10184: Really nice red herrings. Great grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wordie @ #10186: Good groupings (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3712: liked the si units, but no good on bands. Kept thinking, Christopher Plummer isn't in Pulp Fiction........ (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #3715: agree. How many other girls' names occur in Mambo no5? (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10183: Nice grid, good crossovers, although Paisley and Irvine aren't actually officially Scottish cities... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #3672: Nice little wall (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10182: It is a thing or a someone I believe...but Home or Biro might have been cooler.. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10183: Johnny be good! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #10154: Ty, They are not all Egyptian queens, also the singers are specifically one word names. Great grid really enjoyable (7 years, 8 months ago)

Anon @ #10183: The Hobart group crosses over with Perth as it fits in with both. Excellent grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

moako @ #10098: what's parahandy? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10185: I like this sort - Simple words but not necessarily a simple puzzle. Ark was a particular highlight! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10184: Now I feel old :-) Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10183: ... or Hill, for that matter! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10183: Some nice crossovers (although not sure how the Hobart group interacted with a anything else? Sadly tho this fails the requirement of a unique solution, as you can exchange Hunt and Herbert. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10182: As wiz says, nice idea, shame about the snucker. Also, is Haku a thing? (Fern or Foam? ;p) (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #1368: pretty good! I didn't know that Moss's first name was Maurice. btw, Alice in Wonderland worked for me (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #1370: there's a new Zealand cyclist called George Bennett....... is he the one? author Arnold Bennett might have been a better choice. If you're going for 1st names of british composers, Benjamin (britten) might have been better (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #1374: well, I resolved the wall by sheer luck.....the price is right and wheel of fortune stuff meant nothing to me (UK) (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #1378: truth table? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10175: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ty @ #98: Good red herrings, enjoyed it (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10182: Great concept, imaginative and testing. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ty @ #10154: Got the groups easily but links were "incorrect". Is it very specific about how you type it? Egyptian queens and singers were rejected (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10183: Straightforward but entertaining. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #10182: Fun grid, thanks! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #10144: Hard. Don't watch game of thrones. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7165: For once, all my connections accepted. Excellent puzzle! (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7162: I used the obsolete expression "reefer" (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7169: clubs in paris not acceptable, duh. red Indian chiefs not acceptable, duh. I'm learning to ignore the correct/incorrect marks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7173: good grid, but I should have been allowed uncle as a solution (how much detail do you want?) So I got 10/10 imo. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10178: Nice idea, clever (apart from Taylor/Tailor, but I wouldn't have got it anyway) (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7174: members of group queen - ok. Starts with Queen - ok. But the last 8 all end with Queen. Can't work it out (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7185: aeroplanes WW2 not accepted, real ale not accepted. I think I got 10/10 I liked the grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #7189: cricket captains not acceptable duh. If you have names of writers hidden, they ought to be further limited eg all poets or all playwrights or something (7 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #9987: Should've kept this for tomorrow on Bob's birthday, the 6 February. (7 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #9983: 1 week, 1 day ago (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #8730: nutcracker was a killer - good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10180: Too niche for me, only 4/10... oh, and should "have", not "of"... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Trumps wig @ #10180: This should of been on the main page :( I wanted to annoy people with how niche it is.. Oh well (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10077: Great ideas but so hard (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #6704: There were a lot of possible answers to narnia line, that's all... (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #6704: good, but why not accept The Pevensie kids in Narnia" - this marked incorrect (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #6710: not bad, but why not accept isis for al Qaeda etc, not sure what to put for that one (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #6720: very good, but I agree with LVGboxhead - that doesn't quite work (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #6721: excellent grid, but hard shoulder? (7 years, 8 months ago)

AndyGadget @ #2068: "Inspector" not accepted? (7 years, 8 months ago)

AndyGadget @ #2070: You can tell that most of the PuzzGrid setters are from a certain era. Danger Mouse was always one of my favourites. (7 years, 8 months ago)

AndyGadget @ #2090: Very tricky. Love the Red dwarf group. (7 years, 8 months ago)

AndyGadget @ #2091: 2nd line should be ". . . tooth". I liked the Spice Girls red herring. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10062: Good grid! excellent range of knowledge (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10063: too many traps for me! aussie creatures I said, didn't specify marsupials (7 years, 8 months ago)

AndyGadget @ #3594: Excellent wall. Really good crossovers. (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10064: grid easy to complete but female film stars doesn't cut it - got to be oscars (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mogster @ #10173: Fairly straight forward but because it's easier it doesn't make it poorer. Thank you, nice one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mogster @ #10174: Like it Blues (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mogster @ #10175: Nice one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mogster @ #10176: Tough and testing grid. Learnt a new game! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mogster @ #10177: Nice tangents. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mogster @ #10178: Nice crossovers but should be tailor? (7 years, 8 months ago)

bonehead @ #10151: ok but usual obsession with all things american (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #10166: This is my kind of grid! Top themes linking the sets. Lots of head scratching. Everything clicking into place and solving it with second to spare. Top stuff. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #10168: Very tricky. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Al @ #10169: Well I got Peter pan link but didn't solve it. Got the hair link but didn't solve it. Sort of got the actors but guess what...... Hard grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #10152: Way outside my comfort zone but really good grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash ketchum @ #10094: awesome! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10155: Never mind the stubb,good grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9951: OOE - wasn't aware of Mr A prior to your comment, so thanks for bringing him to my attention... having read past communiques I must say I like the cut of his jib! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash ketchum @ #10094: cool game! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Kagamine Len @ #10152: Nice (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash ketchum @ #10152: cool (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash ketchum @ #10094: yay (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10155: I realise, once again that spelling has let me down. I trust it has not spoiled your enjoyment too much. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #10143: I just can't spell so it didn't confuse me. Nice one E.L. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #10151: Nicely confusing. (7 years, 8 months ago)

pomomofo @ #10146: I really liked this so much. Yours, _o_o_o_o (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #10149: Maniacally good grid!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #10151: Nice grid 😁 (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #10121: Great grid, shame "biblical" was not accepted as right answer 😞 (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10003: Interesting grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10151: Clever! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10152: Nice mixture there. (7 years, 8 months ago)

OOE @ #9951: NLYCNNCT - are you Mr A? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10152: Good grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pip @ #9950: Enjoyed this wall (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash Ketchum @ #10152: brilliant quiz mate (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10146: I _G_N_O_S! (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #10146: Really liked the grid. Didn't accept countries as an answer but not too bothered by that. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10143: Oops! very sorry; I seems I have always spelt it wrongly. (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #10146: Thanks for the feedback! The plan was to have two triggers in each group, but perhaps one in the countries and one in the elements could have been replaced with slightly less ambiguous ones. And the word 'carrot' fitting into C_R_O_ could also be problematic! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jemima @ #10145: Really liked that! The Mary Poppins and cereal categories are ingenious. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #1625: It doesn't really, but hey ho! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #10143: Spent too long wondering why 'jepardy' had been spelt wrong (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brett @ #1625: You're right Shippers50, sandwich rhymes with language (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brett @ #1621: I thought this was quite good (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #1620: Quite fun, a little easy (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brett @ #1618: Ungh, dull (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #1617: Good, fun board (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10146: Really like the concept. Good groups, just hard to figure out in the time. Fun grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10145: That was fun! Thankyou... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #10114: It's good, but I think there's an alternative answer that also works - "Ski pole" and "Fireman's lift" work just as well as "Ski lift" and "Fireman's pole". (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10136: Enjoyable grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #10138: Nice variations! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10138: Found out last year that Edward Smith was drinking buddies with one of my cousin's grandfather :) Interesting grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #10143: Got it...just!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #10139: I like the variety in the groups. Next time, please use capital letters at the start of words - it makes them much easier to read (7 years, 8 months ago)

Oli @ #10136: 10/10 good grid, enjoyed that. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Kirk @ #10137: Thank You that was brilliant and very difficult x (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mwt999 @ #10130: Good grid - but cats not accepted? (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #10135: Very good! Enjoyed figuring out the hidden words one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Rod @ #10126: Not the operation game I remember. They were all body parts? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10099: Know what I mean 'arry! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Rod @ #10110: What has RED got to do with "dancing queen" "Morden" or "bosworth" ??????????? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10131: Great grid, really enjoyed (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #10136: Ooh, I just played one of KJ67's recent grids and discovered that I've used pretty much the same group here that he/she did. Wasn't deliberate! (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #10131: Loved this! Really got me thinking :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #10121: Excellent grid! Thoroughly enjoyed it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10126: Very difficult. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10128: Very good grid. Tough but fair: highly enjoyable (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #10131: I needed something reasonably simple that made me smile. Thank you!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #10115: Toast, 'it's an interesting place but getting anxious now to get back in time for the six nations. However the 30 degrees of balmy salty air helps. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #10131: Fantastic set of "action verbs" red herrings there. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10130: If you really want to be pedantic NL YCN N CT, tigers ARE cats - just not domesticated ones. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10130: Another pedantic thought...alternate or alternative? (7 years, 8 months ago)

OnlyConnext @ #10121: Wont accept genesis characters as valid... *grumble* Good grid though 😊 got me thinking (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #6026: Agree that answers weren't accepted re: former football grounds / beer brands / NATO phonetic alphabet etc. Also. it's Castlemaine XXXX and Kronenbourg 1664 (not that this impacts on solving the grid...) (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10130: Being equally (if not more) pedantic, what are you referring to by "Congo"? The Democratic Republic of the Congo, or the Republic of Congo (sometimes known as Congo-Brazzaville)? Neither of these are really referred to as just "Congo"... and Burma is a former, not alternate name as mentioned on a previous grid... and finally, Hobbes and Tigger are tigers, not cats... other than that, good grid ;) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10130: It may be pedantic, but calling the USA America and the UK Britain is not really accurate. Otherwise a good grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Stanley @ #9914: No comment (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10126: Too good for me. I must have tried every other bleeding combo for the tick group! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10128: This didn't really work for me, I'm afraid. I guess having 8 animals and 8 letters was some kind of double bluff - but one is naturally drawn to just looking within the 8s, and the answers fall out very quickly. Macbeth reference was nice, I might do something with it ;p (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10118: Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10126: Good but tricky! Operation caught me out. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10126: Good but tricky! Operation caught me out. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #10101: Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #10110: Red? Why? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #10112: Good grid but why did three words not have an initial capital? (7 years, 8 months ago)

RowG57 @ #10060: Didn't accept Ball (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mwt @ #10121: Good grid - road not accepted? (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #10116: Nice one indeed - only 7 for me and kicking myself ! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10116: An excellent grid, E.L. I had forgotten about Avon ladies! (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #10121: Excellent - was impressed by one group in particular :-) (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10122: Easy but fun. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #10121: Simply 'Baird' would have been better. 'Logie' was John Baird's middle name, I believe, not half of a double barrelled surname. Apart from that, a lovely grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10121: Well worked. Good Gridding. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Sophie Coyne @ #9960: I enjoyed this grid but found that trying to find the link was a bit difficult and this was like 'Only Connect' on BBC 2 which was good. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10121: Neat! Lovely crossovers! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #10117: Very tough, as I've never heard of The Talk! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10118: Enjoyable grid. I had no idea about the Sausages group and I learnt something new about what Green Zebra was, so a hard grid for me personally, but interesting! :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ben harris @ #10069: Get leprosy (7 years, 8 months ago)

Joe Jebb @ #10069: Utter bollocks. Die u homo (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10114: Enjoyable (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10116: I only got the bridge group until the second phase, then I understood. Nice one! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pam @ #9907: The Dubliners! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pam @ #9903: Of course (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #10115: Blues. When they refused you entry to that swanky bar in Cardiff what they said was " Not without a TIE!". Good grief seeking a bride is an overreaction however cloth-eared you were. Good grid though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #2661: H Unit... I think it is...but please explain! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Viv Ranick @ #2661: Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Viv Ranick @ #10117: Brilliant. My morning brain workout! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Nb @ #10118: Nice grid. Just let down by not accepting 'nursery rhyme'. Cost me my 10 (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hil @ #2661: Nice grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

H Unit @ #2661: Hoarse is not a homophone of horse. Need I say any more? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #10115: Cheers guys... ... I got so angry about Trumpton and his wall I had two options. One, shout at the ocean or two, knock up a veiled protest in here. I feel better now, time for a massage methinks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

good @ #10098: easy (7 years, 8 months ago)

Adam @ #9597: I think "trike" is a little bit of a stretch as a mode of transport but otherwise very good (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10088: Good grid, enjoyable... but in addition to Naomi's point, Berlin is the most populous city in Germany, isn't it? (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10115: Good grid as ever, just a little shame famous quotes or sayings wasn't accepted, as "One small step..." and "your (sic) [*you're] fired!" err on the side of brevity for me to consider as speeches... could just be my alternative facts at work though! (I'm sure Sean Spicer thinks DJT's "your fired!" - probably how he spells it anyway - was the longest and bestest speech ever!) Either way, enjoy your hols and keep up the excellent work... Have a beer (or two!) for me ;) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10115: Don't do that! Enjoy your hol! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #10115: Thwarted by spull checker... Judy Garland not Jury... I could cry into my beer. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10115: That explains the jury! (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10109: Clever stuff! (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10110: Very confused; I thought it was turning out to be a classic grid, but the red group was perplexing. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10112: Very easy, but fun. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10113: Very clever. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10114: Very good; thanks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10115: Great grid. Bit thrown by "Jury" (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #10115: Watching all the action in the rain on a Thai island ! Beers ok though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10114: Ah, thank you! Of course... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10115: Hi, Blues,missed you! Fun grid,thanks... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Naomi @ #10088: As a Canadian, I have to point out that "Ottowa" is actually spelled "O-T-T-A-W-A". Good on you for knowing it's not Canada's largest city by population! (7 years, 8 months ago)

pomomofo @ #10110: This puzzgrid hurt my feelings. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10114: Is it not "shoplift", as in to steal from a shop? That would be my understanding of the connection... (7 years, 8 months ago)

LS @ #10102: The Pokemon group didn't accept 'pokemon' (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wi @ #10114: Good but to me the shop connection doesn't quite work... .? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10111: I liked the Patton red herring, but isn't it a last stand? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10112: I found this a bit straightforward- the gaffer group stood out very quickly and didn't obviously interact with the other groups, and the queue group is an old friend. The hill group was a nice idea tho, more along those lines would be good (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #10112: Good grid, especially the nursery rhyme line! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10113: That was fun! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10113: Pity it wouldn't accept Initial letter missing. Good grid though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #184: Spent the best part of a minute fixating on the "cross" group thinking "Criss" was just a red herring for Kris (Kross - the hip hop duo) before the more obvious phrase (and correct spelling thereof!) dawned on me... good work sir! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10110: How does the red group work, pray? Doesn't make sense to me apart fom red herring! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10111: A bit mean not allowing just "generals". (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10111: Going to be singing Final Countdown for the rest of the day now lol... (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10110: Equally confused by the "red" group... and wouldn't accept "battle" even though it's the given connection... @Mixu P "underground stations" was accepted, so you have the correct connection - I believe "northern" refers to each being a station on the Northern Line... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #10109: New Puzz - I just checked, and Wellington was accepted as the answer. Did you perhaps mis-type? (7 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #10106: Black key? (7 years, 8 months ago)

new puzz @ #10109: apparently 'wellington' is not sufficient an answer, whereas one word answers are ok for the others... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10106: Oops! :/ (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10109: Loved it! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #10105: Yep. Stumped. Nice diversions (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #10106: ..or 'Libya' even - good grid though!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #10109: Excellent grid, top marks! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10111: I think it's possibly more common to say "last chance" rather than "final chance", so that threw me. Loved the Panther category! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #10110: It wouldn't accept 'tube stations' for the tube stations (if that is what they are supposed to be - answer just said 'northern'. What is 'red dancing queen' or 'red Bosworth' ? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #10109: Apologies for the Poitier oversight. Glad you enjoyed the grid though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #10109: Enjoyable theme, well done... although it's actually "Sidney" Poitier... however his daughter's name is "Sydney" so still works! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10109: I thought first penal colony might be in US,,but good grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9866: @NO ...and IF I were, rest assured I'd not be troubling you with my presence (or should that be presents?)... nothing for those on the naughty list! (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10105: Very good gridding. Had me stuck. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #9972: Liked it but very difficult. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash Ketchum @ #10094: They are Pokémon. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Japes @ #9972: Way too convoluted. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #10094: What on earth is a Cle fairy or Jiggly Puff? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #5688: Good ideas (7 years, 8 months ago)

No @ #9866: @NLYCNNCT - I wish you were Santa then we would only have to hear from you once a year (7 years, 8 months ago)

No @ #9854: No (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash Ketchum @ #10102: it was O.K (7 years, 8 months ago)

AfflexPea @ #10096: Oooh, tough one, 0/10!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10099: Good to see more Barrys on here ; ) (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #10073: Clever and only half marks for me (7 years, 8 months ago)

AfflexPea @ #10097: Yep, my error there sorry (give yourself 10/10 though)!! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10000: Thankyou,puzzgrid...for reply and for providing a lot of quality enjoyment for us! (7 years, 8 months ago)

T.May @ #10078: So ridiculously simple, that its just pointless. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Phlogiston @ #10096: Very hard! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Phlogiston @ #10097: First puzzle completed - very good. Like Heather I put shops for the second row as well. (7 years, 8 months ago)

heather @ #10097: Nice one, I enjoyed it. Suguest allowing shops for the retailers one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10089: Fun grid. Very enjoyable. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10094: Good grid. Stumped by the games but I liked the rest of it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Chigley @ #10096: That is really inventive but so hard! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Heather @ #10083: 8, 16, 32 and 40 are also in the 8 times table. (7 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #10000: Sorry for a belated reply and thanks for getting us to 10000, DeLuxe87. Grid #3, the earliest still available, was submitted on Mon, 12 Apr 2010 at 00:54:51 GMT. It is rewarding to see so many people using the site nowadays. We've had 1.6 million pageviews in the last year. Thank you all for playing and for keeping it civil and fun! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10096: Cheeky monkey, Ash Ketchum (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ash Ketchum @ #10096: O.K (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10094: Great grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hannah @ #10095: So good! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hannah @ #184: Very good! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Nina @ #184: quite good!!!!! :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Nina @ #10092: Very good! Loved the red herrings in there, not too challenging but gets me ready for the harder puzzles. Well done! (7 years, 8 months ago)

R Toad @ #10074: apologies for the connection issues- thought id got it covered but obviously not- sorryyyy as for the golden/yellow lab thing- technically a fox red is also a yellow lab, weve got one so I know this- golden was historically a breed but was changed by the KC- descriptively tho its still commonly used as is fox red- xx (7 years, 8 months ago)

Gavin @ #10086: -ve also works (of course). (7 years, 8 months ago)

DavStar @ #10080: Well awesome! Shame I don't speaka da lingo? As Midge Ure once said, "This Means Nothing to Me"............. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10080: :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #10063: Best user name...ever (7 years, 8 months ago)

Awesome @ #10080: I think I would have liked this one, if only I spoke Hungarian... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #10080: Most of us are english speakers, you may have noticed... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10069: I liked it. It was different. Difficult to name the categories correctly although I was on the right tracks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10078: Easy but nice idea! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #10073: Nice one! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ellie burridge @ #10069: This is very frustrating! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bill Crosby @ #10074: Not enough young women to feel, you feel me? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Nodnerb @ #10074: Ah suhh dudes It Is Wednesday my dudes, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #10075: That's very tough; at least for me it was. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NPavan @ #10074: The types of Labrador should read Chocolate, Black, Fox Red, and YELLOW. "Golden" is another breed altogether. (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #10071: Really loved this grid! Although any one which has a hidden words line, anagrams or letter change I always enjoy. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10072: Are you one in the same as GenghisKong then? Love it!!!!!!! :) Has that grid been deleted? Guess you had to be there! :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10074: nor does it accepted "reversed" as an answer (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mike @ #10065: Nice grid - but caramel twice? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #8406: Great board (7 years, 8 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #8983: Great grid. Got half of it and knew the rest when I saw it, at the same time as kicking myself! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #1508: Also, it's Hope, Crosby & Lamour... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jade @ #2297: Great - berries got me! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jimlad @ #10074: It doesn't accept 'anagram' as an answer for the anagrams connection. (7 years, 8 months ago)

DonkeyKhan @ #368: Very fun wall, good fun to do! (7 years, 8 months ago)

DonkeyKhan @ #9841: Really hard, just got the question about fly even though I am a huge Pokemon fan. I thought it would be about typings. (7 years, 8 months ago)

R Toad @ #10070: nice, easy but nice (7 years, 8 months ago)

DonkeyKhan @ #10059: Good but very hard! I got 1/10. (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #10063: Very good, 2/10 for me (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ryedrop @ #1508: Where the hell is Sitzerland? (7 years, 8 months ago)

DonkeyKhan @ #10063: Great grid. Really enjoyable! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #9796: Great grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10060: Same here, nice grid but would not accept seemingly correct answers (7 years, 8 months ago)

GenghisKong @ #10066: Done in record time, but Genghis does play bass. Nice Herbie Flowers reference. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #10064: Nice grid for the afternoon, thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #10060: decent grid but it did not accept Bat or Ball for me - just need to specify as many words in the 'buzz word' field to make it more user-friendly. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #10064: Nice grid, cheers! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10060: I *think* with keywords string matching, less is more - e.g. if you set it as ball, it will match against ball, balls, balloon etc. But if you set it as balls, it won't match just ball. Still a good grid :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #10061: :-( (7 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #10051: Well thought out grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

R Toad @ #10060: nice grid part from the answers- but neer mind (7 years, 8 months ago)

WeirdSin @ #10060: Just tested Ennjay and you're right, not sure why????? Sorry! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #10060: SPOILERS:: It didn't accept bat ball or guitar as answers!!! :( (7 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #10033: i answered lager. it said beer. all these are lagers rather than ales so needs accepting (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #10020: I wish it had been! (7 years, 8 months ago)

BC @ #10017: Good grid. Didn't accept detergents (7 years, 8 months ago)

BC @ #10013: Nice grid, tricky (7 years, 8 months ago)

BC @ #10014: Good grid. Shame it didn't accept just synonyms (7 years, 8 months ago)

BC @ #10018: Shame commediennes and nationalities aren't accepted as answers. (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #10020: Good - is the fact that -up could be really nearly used for the nose category an intentional red herring? It got me beat all the same (7 years, 8 months ago)

Milo @ #10044: I especially liked the fast group. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Aj @ #491: Excellent puzzle. Didn't solve it but knew what the themes were straightaway. Had me trying every combination. Very clever (7 years, 8 months ago)

Me @ #9798: Didn't love it (7 years, 8 months ago)

Moooooooolody @ #10001: Pretty shit. Even fruit didn't work. Hot as an adjective and noun is confusing. Never heard of pie man, bean bag, bouncy hopper or bubbles as games. Only Jules Vernon creations makes sense (7 years, 8 months ago)

Janet @ #9983: Clever (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #10002: Liked it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

mLegend @ #10000: Decent grid. Good couple of red herrings and the Prime Minister one nearly had me. (7 years, 8 months ago)

mLegend @ #9999: Too easy (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #9993: Nice one: good misdirection re the Fords (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9989: Clever Stuff! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Coco @ #9997: Oh, that was quite difficult. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9997: Very good and entertaining. Got the groups, but one was very tough to explain. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #1918: Further to Pedant's point, alternate names suggest these are interchangeable - whereas Bombay was renamed Mumbai over 20 years ago... it is the old previous name, not an alternative name... (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9993: Good grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #8034: I tried the league names followed by "teams" (Eredivise, Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A) and that also didn't work... nevermind (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #48: Nice grid, slipped up on the nuclear line but hey ho!... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #9973: Nice grid, shame duo and trio weren'taccepted as correct answers?.... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Sarah @ #5795: Sorry, Dr Nick is called Nick Rivera (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #9973: Nice idea. Don't take too much notice of comments about answer acceptance, even experienced setters get it wrong and it isn't that important. I enjoyed this more than I ever did with Bananarama. (7 years, 8 months ago)

revolver777 @ #9982: Just realised I forgot to add the anagram answers in the explanations (so look away if you don't want to know) - Chime, Drum, Xylophone, Gong. (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9984: Great red-herring in there. I bought it (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9988: Slight panic on the crossovers but got there. Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9989: Forgot to set the difficulty - medium by the standard in here (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #4219: 10/10 and the only Spanish (or is it Portuguese? - not knowing either I'm having to guess which it is) word I thought I knew was cerveza... must have subconsciously assimilated more than I assumed during those summers in Ibiza all those years ago! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9969: Nice,but too hard for me... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davstar @ #4219: Nice grid, completed and got10/10! Looked tough on first glace though! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9973: NL - indeed they are! That got my goat a little too. At least the groups made sense, even if the lack of accepted keywords left something to be desired! :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

MikeyD @ #9979: Anyone trying my fiendish grid? ;) (7 years, 8 months ago)

MikeyD @ #9979: US Hosts. Sorry. Drew Carey - The Price is Right Wayne Brady - Lets Make A Deal Pat Sajak - Wheel of Fortune Alec Baldwin - Match Game (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9979: Yep - US hosts I believe...only one was familiar to me. (I'm a Brit) Learnt something new too - didn't realise Shoal had that meaning - more familiar with its use as a collective noun. Nice grid - couple of good red herrings. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9974: Really liking this grid now! :) Agree it's a real toughie. But the groups do make sense and I don't think they are overly obscure, just really hard to get in the 3 mins. (And I kind of like the irony/homage of Wildebeast! :) ) Nice one FD! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ragman @ #9968: Nothing sinister I promise....Just that I imagine not many people know that there is a river Douglas, and I'm guessing you are a Wanderers fan, thats all. Great grid, I must try to build some of my own, but I lack patience... (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9951: Despite the comment below it was solvable and fun; good work! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9949: Good idea; definitions were a little flawed. Thanks! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #7697: Another nice grid Blues, keep up the good work... (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #3712: Good work Matt350... enjoyable (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9956: If they all end in rage, they also end in age! Ski resorts a bit obscure, but hey-ho. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9967: No wonder I scored so badly. Most of it is nonsense! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9979: US hosts I think... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9973: So solutions like "2 members" are not permitted? Come on! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9979: Like Mixu P for me. Are they British game shows? (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9979: Good stuff. New them all - kinda except gameshow hosts (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9979: Same as Mixu; good stuff! (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9974: at least this is a non-critical typo (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon @ #9977: Excellent grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9769: FYI it's preceded not proceeded, as per one of your connections... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #1379: Liked the ear one (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #1379: Liked the ear one (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #685: Didn't get the ch or wall ones (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9974: So is "Wildebeast" in homage to "Anenome" in grid #9963? Or just an innocent spelling mistake for "Wildebeest"? May want to reconsider your "guarantee" on earlier grid lol ;) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #236: God grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #5532: Great grid really enjoyed it (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9973: ...also, it's McCartney, not McArtney (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #9769: Too easy only took 30 secs (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9973: Wouldn't accept duo, trio or quartet? Are these not the de facto terms for musical groups based on number of members? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9971: Nice grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9973: Phew. Got there with a few seconds to spare! It didn't accept my answers though. (I tried one, two, three, four) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9974: Too tough for me. Had me beat. :-( (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9977: Bit too easy. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9979: Good grid, MikeyD I got all the groups, but didn't get the connection for the game show hosts. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hubby @ #9979: Good grid, thanks! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #9967: Ennjay - Why on earth would it be "wolf in sheep's clothing"?. That doesn't make any sense. Wolfs don't have much money, so have to buy cheap clothing. And in any case, sheep don't have clothing. They've got their own wooly coats. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9968: Not sure why you'd be interested in where I live, Ragman. Hope you enjoyed the grid though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #8000: Fortunately knew the Welsh for beer... one of the few words I know in so many languages, so "iechyd da" Blues... (7 years, 8 months ago)

LUFC @ #9973: (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9967: I agree with previous posters regarding Genghis KHAN and SHEEP'S clothing, and would possibly add "BIG" gorilla? Not a common phrase, even by google's standards... perhaps I'm missing something (7 years, 8 months ago)

LUFC @ #9979: (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #1474: wouldn't accept "stout" as an answer when the given answer is "stouts"? A bit harsh... Also it's Guinness, not Guiness (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9974: If you do this skip 9963. This is a correction/improvement of that grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9963: I've been feeling bad about this so grid 9974 has been submitted. It is the same as this (nearly 😈) except the incorrect category had been changed completely. Sorry for being a bit thick yesterday - I guarantee 9974 is correct. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ragman @ #9968: Given your name, and assuming that 'douglas' was a red herring for the rivers, I assume that you live in the NW of the UK ? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Polly @ #9970: Gosh....good but quite obscure in parts.... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Polly @ #9967: ....and Genghis kong is a giant ape monster! (7 years, 8 months ago)

therush763 @ #9967: To be fair there is a song called Wolf in cheap clothes by the Kovacs (2015). (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9967: Genghis KHAN and SHEEP's clothing. Please check facts because otherwise those groupings don't make sense. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brett @ #1474: No (7 years, 8 months ago)

Polly @ #9967: Google...tis there.. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Genghis Kong @ #9967: What/who is Genghis Kong- muppet (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9770: Help....but I did win the war when I was alive... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9967: Feel silly, you are right Barry.....mea culpa... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Steven @ #9967: Nicely put together, and not too tough. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Debbie @ #9967: Good grid Barry. I didn't know what telemark was, but now I know. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9963: What do you mean Pernickerty? If you have something constructive to say about the grid, go for it, but don't make it personal. Grids often have typos in which don't really affect the answers (other than causing a little confusion wondering if the typo is intended or not). In this case, the typo invalidates that group which is a real pity cos it was a good grid otherwise. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9967: Sheeps clothing? (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9959: Yep same here. Didn't have a clue on that 'one' group but I have learned something...whether I retain it of course is another matter! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9962: Yep, very good - thanks! (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9963: My apologies. I've been both saying and spelling anemone wrong all my life. Can grids be later edited (or deleted and re-added)? (7 years, 8 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #9963: Who's going to tell Ennjay about the anemone and the anemone? Grid was obscure to say the least. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9963: Rather spoilt by the fact it's spelt "ANEMONE"! Like the other three groups though, even though I didn't guess them. (7 years, 8 months ago)

The Queen @ #9770: My husband is not a Disney Prince - you will be sent to the Tower (7 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #9957: Only one I've had a chance to try in a while. I chose a good one (though I have never heard of the TC items and one other, that's hardly a fault with the grid).Thanks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9957: Wonderful; a great puzzle. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9959: Good Grid. I sorted the groups within a minute, but could not identify one group, which I suspect many will struggle with. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9962: Very clever- great grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #9955: Good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #9954: Excellent stuff (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #1465: *apologies for my Kiwi English (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #1465: Three stars in generous I feel. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #1463: Doosra - I love that ball! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cam @ #1462: Have to agree with Shippers, that was nuts! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9956: Nice work! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9881: Wouldn't accept "Commodore" as an answer? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #9954: Top notch. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9927: I can understand that really! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9927: No worries Wiz, misinterpretation of your comment on my behalf compounded things... hard to convey the subtleties of communication in text sometimes.... I just always have an (irrational? - perhaps not) adverse reaction whenever told to think "American"! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Alex @ #9954: Fun. Kept me confused. Exceptional work providing such detailed answers, btw! Always good for me to learn more :-) (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9951: Accepted "trees" as a solution to both the "apple" and "lime" groups, despite the given connections being "fruit" and "trees"... Also, Poplar is not a tube station, it is a station on the Docklands Light Railway, which is separate from the London Underground (a.k.a the Tube). (7 years, 8 months ago)

tony @ #9949: pretty good. gaffer tape i think? (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9949: It didn't give me "fasteners" grrrr. Otherwise good (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9952: Not sure about having two such similar categories in the same grid. 3/4 categories very clever though (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9954: Clever. Got nothing until the reveal when I got everything. I saw all categories but one before the reveal (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9953: Great and really annoying. I solved one line but knew all the connections (and saw them before the reveal). Well done with the red-herrings/crossovers (7 years, 8 months ago)

FuzzyDuck @ #9947: Thanks for the feedback Mean? If I'd included hawks, eagles or owls then birds of prey would be correct. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9951: Fun grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9951: gosh! harder than it looks - almost hit panic mode but saw it through ok :-) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #9953: Really good grid. Love those US state capitals (7 years, 8 months ago)

alison @ #9953: clever red herrings - lots of cross pollination -satisfying to solve (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9953: WOW - more crossovers than Tower Bridge! Methinks the trick is to knock out the most crossed over set first or second otherwise you are left with too many options and only 3 guesses. Excellent excellent grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #9931: "French cookery" should be an acceptable answer for the food group (7 years, 8 months ago)

Plod @ #9933: It should accept "surveillance" as an answer as well as "observations" (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9927: I meant... I think it's US spelling! (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #9949: nice grid. didn't accept fixings though (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #9942: Nice grid but a shame you couldn't accept 'signs of the zodiac' (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9947: So birds of prey is not permitted. Mean. Otherwise a great grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9949: I put fasteners and that was rejected, as was 'parts of the body'. A bit mean, methinks. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9942: Good gridding, very enjoyable. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9949: Great Stuff! (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9947: Good grid. I found the groups quickly, but identified a couple of the groups wrongly. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9927: Sorry, just a thought... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brimster @ #8804: Nice one . Easy but good crossovers and variety (7 years, 8 months ago)

Brimster @ #9592: Great ideas. Not too difficult (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jemima @ #9945: Am ashamed to admit I know this! Kourtney Kardashian is with a 'K', not a 'C'. Enjoyed it otherwise. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pete @ #9941: Certainly tough but one category has two valid answers (they can also precede "ain" to make words. 3/4 preceded by something too. Vary it more. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9927: Why would I want to do that Wiz? I'm not American, nor is the setter (given their selected nationality when submitting the grid). (7 years, 8 months ago)

RC @ #9945: Good (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pete @ #9192: A shame that all four sets had the same type of solution. Very tough though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Steven @ #8497: Pound, Ounce, Gram and Stone are not units of weight, but units of mass. Despite this, it still said incorrect. This needs correcting. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Pete @ #9194: Whole grid based on prefixing somewhat disappointing (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9927: Think US spelling? (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9930: Interminal? Not heard of this before... did you perhaps mean interminable? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Lorna @ #9276: Enjoyed that one thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

Lorna @ #9597: Great fun thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9933: wouldn't accept synonyms of vagrant as an answer... and not all beggars are homeless (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9927: I always thought the unit of distance was spelled "metre" not meter... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Lorna @ #9875: Good overlaps (7 years, 8 months ago)

Lorna @ #9906: Enjoyed that one thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

David @ #334: I liked the __ to __ . I didn't figure it out, but that was nice. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bluebeard @ #9747: We thought the fottballers were Pirates (7 years, 8 months ago)

London909 @ #9941: Wordy! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #2301: (7 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #2301: (7 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #2301: (7 years, 8 months ago)

Kavonak @ #9927: Brilliant. What's a Cuban sandwich though?! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #2336: Rather subjective answers..... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9929: This makes me feel old- no idea who any of the people in one group are! still enjoyed it (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #9927: An excellent grid, thank you. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #9921: Agree with 'bible' comments (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #98: Good, enjoyed it. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Beepska @ #9921: I typed Bible for the connection and got dinged--not all Bibles even have that New Testament? Thank you for the puzzle! (7 years, 8 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9927: C'est impossible pour moi :-( (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9931: Not too difficult and great fun. (7 years, 8 months ago)

sandyr51 @ #9929: Fantastic grid! Well constructed with lots of variety, especially the hidden players line. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Yvette @ #9931: I enjoyed this thanks! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Eliza @ #9933: Homeless theme is also one of the words (7 years, 8 months ago)

ICluedius @ #9793: Great grid! (7 years, 8 months ago)

MrsDespard @ #9931: (7 years, 8 months ago)

MrsDespard @ #9930: Got a bit stuck but think we'll crafted (7 years, 8 months ago)

MrsDespard @ #9926: Nice and simple. Liked doing it (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9933: The Watch group are also both noun and verb! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Eliza @ #238: Neat cross-connections (7 years, 8 months ago)

Eliza @ #685: How could I have missed the homophones? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Eliza @ #9928: Good, but "prime" was marked incorrect . . . (7 years, 8 months ago)

Eliza @ #9926: Good distractors (7 years, 8 months ago)

ennjay @ #9930: Superfluous doesn't quite work...super is two syllables, but if you can find a better way to express that, you can still make it work and it's then a good grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9915: Actually very good, except where, as already noted, it very obviously wasn't (7 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #9881: Like the difficulty, excellent grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #9903: good grid, good explanations (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #7790: Food glorious food! (7 years, 8 months ago)

RowG57 @ #9835: Didn't accept entrepreneurs (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #8871: Yeah, Mussolini doesn't belong in that group. Not sure MEPs is a very good category either. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #8898: Decent grid, shame about the spelling. (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #9921: Nice grid. Thought bible should have been accepted. (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #9917: Geological features is fine. Realised after setting that group that I would probably not cover all the terms that might be used for the connection. Give yourself a point :) (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9920: And in the answers, Tom Cruise, not Tome Cruise. A good grid though! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9915: I second Bumbledore99's comment. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9921: Liked this one. Four different groups, well constructed. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9866: The Father Christmas group is a bit tenuous, otherwise a great grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9896: I wish I knew what a meme was, even though I did get that group, somehow! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9903: Only managed one group. Was kicking myself when I saw the solutions though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9906: Fun, but quite easy. I particularly liked the ROLL category. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9917: Surely 'geological features' is OK instead of plate tectonics...? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Keith @ #9918: Very good. Had me stumped at first, but I got there in the end. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #9921: Nice gentle grid. Thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

Big Phil @ #9921: Brilliant grid. Loads of red herrings in amongst it and some nice groups. Keep up the top work! Best grid ive done. (7 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #9920: collateral* (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #9755: No problem NL YCN N CT keep the critiques coming. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Omegaman @ #9918: "Green vegetable plants" and "remove a letter to give a country name" not accepted which seems very harsh. Acronym link very devious! Good grid though. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9908: Thanks Sheep... if only my boss thought the same! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9921: Nice! A rarity- Pretty straightforward but no worse for it (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9894: According to your solutions, in the Chocolate factory group you've included "Gloop" in the grid instead of "Charlie". For the anagrams, you could perhaps use ferulic (as in acid) or flueric (as in study of fluidics) as potentially less obvious anagrams for lucifer (as per drop tables comments)... can't think of an anagram for beelzebub though! There is always "the hopeless imp" for mephistopheles as an alternative satan anagram if you like ;) (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9882: Entered "house" for green / light etc. group and marked incorrect, despite your solution is solely adding "house" to each word in the group. As for the white / kerr etc. group, answered "joker" as they're potential aliases used for the comic book character, and again marked incorrect despite "batman" being correct for the bale / west etc. group... perhaps need to amend acceptable answers? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Sheep @ #9908: You write well for having a few beers NL YCN N CT! I like this grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ginger @ #2247: Nice one (7 years, 8 months ago)

Lisa @ #9237: Loved it! There should definitely be more silly ones like this! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9755: Blues - mea culpa, I understand the premise of red herrings, and this grid in particular was most enjoyable, however my initial response (and subsequent attitude) was was solely based on the word "finally" in your explanation - I initially read this as winter was when the UK finally gets its solstice, rather than how it was intended; that this was the final explanation of the four connections for the winter group. A glaring mistake on my behalf! I will attempt to learn to read properly before such invective comments are spouted forth again. Please keep up the excellent work and thanks for sharing your prolific efforts. Just tell me where to send the beer, was at a local brewery yesterday and have some lovely samples... P.S. nice use of didactic, haven't seen that since Philosophy classes... (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9908: Apologies one and all, contrary to Blues it seems I could really benefit from a few less beers before posting - didn't intend to cause offence but upon rereading my drunken ramblings sound like an arse! Just wanted to bring to attention a more general issue of "mixed" groups - another "rant" recently highlighted a mixture of car manufacturers and car models... I should have kept quiet, as salad wasn't an impediment to me correctly ascertaining the connection... Keep up the sterling work everyone, and I'll try to play nicely in future... (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9895: FYI The club is called East Stirlingshire, not East Stirling... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9892: Got them all, but I'm not keen on single-subject grids really. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9894: Augustus AND Gloop? Not bad otherwise. I wish you'd used a small "l" for "ill" though, as I got stuck on trying to work out what "Took 3" might mean. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9895: Too specialised. I saw it was football, I gave up and let the three minutes run out while I played another grid... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9890: British and German... no. Too vague and arbitrary. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9898: Surely that's "silicone" implant, not "silicon" implant? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9903: I've never heard of family restaurant either. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9904: Well, three of the groups were easy enough. Even having seen the answer for the "Pleb" group, I'm still thinking "really?". (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9908: Nice to see four disparate groups! Knocked it off in 38 seconds flat... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9912: Not especially interesting, but a solid effort. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Midnight @ #9913: Fiendish indeed, not sure it was entirely fair... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #9912: Dates... My nemesis. All in the blink of an eye ! Nice Grid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #9908: I grow millions of spuds (it's nearly chitting time...) King Eddies, MP's, Charlottes (for Christmas) and Salads all taste good after I dig them up and eat them. Therefore I guess they must be linked in some way or another. Not only was it a fine row it was straighter than the ones I dig. (Incidentally was it just coincidence to include the Irish and potato in the same grid?) Nice one. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Blues @ #9755: My dearest "NL YCN N CT" thank you for taking the time to write it was illuminating to receive such a didactic comment, your alert was heeded. (Just for clarity I am aware of the annual multi-solstice events here in the UK, the intention of the grid was to test you into selecting the correct one.) More beer needed now... (7 years, 8 months ago)

Bumbledore99 @ #9915: Missdeal? Missfire? Misskick? Strange dictionary you've got there. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #9913: Turin typo lost me time. Good grid, stumped by the orphans (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #9913: Good grid but tough. Turin typo but still wouldn't have got the group. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9908: I agree with SpaggBol, how can it be wrong to include salad? Yes, a little thought is needed, but that's the joy of the game . "Hot", "Chipped" or "Mashed" would also be valid. (7 years, 8 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #9129: Perfectly OK grid, but rather obscure for general consumption and too many 'possibles' for the skin group. (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9913: I found that very, very hard. Excellently constructed, but had me well beaten (1/10). (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9912: Wow, that was tough-but very good. (7 years, 8 months ago)

alison @ #9913: very enjoyable - well connected and just that bit crafty (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #9902: To be fair bimbo chose her own name I believe.. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #9906: A whole 1/10 for me, but a good grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9912: Good! Ticked all the boxes then! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Simon K @ #9903: Pleased with myself for getting the W link - that was sneaky! I've not heard of "Family Restaurant", but that's down to me not the setter. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9350: I know you added the caveat re: the Netherlands, but many of those from outside the North or South Holland provinces certainly don't accept the usage of Holland as interchangeable with the Netherlands - I was born in Amsterdam so not really bothered myself, but certainly a sore point with a number of friends! Great and challenging grid though... (7 years, 8 months ago)

tony @ #9912: really liked this one - but got 1/10 :P (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9144: Excellent work Blues, had forgotten about Paris, Texas - great film - will watch it again over the weekend... (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9902: A little puerile to resort to name calling... and as for living under a rock perhaps bimbo was instead staying in school learning how to spell? (7 years, 8 months ago)

naI @ #5779: sknaht dirg dooG (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9904: Nice Grid with good twists! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9908: Nice Grid despite not accepting the singular form. I don't accept that 'salad' makes it innacurate. If you have an iota of common sense it still works! (7 years, 8 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #9909: Sorry but none of us here can understand a word of Hungarian (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #8248: "tall" and "elevate" aren't synonyms for height - one is a measure of height, the other the action of lifting. Tallness and elevation would be synonyms in this case. In addition, what kind of accommodation is "farme"? Having lived for 9 years in France I had never come across this word - did you mean "ferme" - which is French for farm? (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #7559: Fjortoft, not Fjoftoft... if you're going to be so specific with subject matter at least have the decency to spell their names correctly! (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9866: I happen to also have a coat, belt, a beard and black boots, as I'm sure do millions of others... (btw I'm not Santa). Rather generic grouping in my opinion. As for "wearing" my beard, although this could possibly be construed as acceptable, I would imagine most like myself just "have" or are "growing" their beards, not "wearing" them... As much as you can take them off (shave) you can't exactly put them back on so easily/quickly... (7 years, 8 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #9902: Well bimbo I cant help it if you're either a hag or living under a rock (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9908: "Salad" is a generic term for a group of potatoes sharing characteristics, akin to "fluffy" or "smooth". Charlotte would be an example of a variety of a "salad" potato... The other three answers were specific varieties in their own right therefore this is an inaccurate connection for a group (7 years, 8 months ago)

Wiz @ #6178: Look up! Tryst is o common word.. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9908: The group with "King Edward" didn't accept the singular form of the correct answer! (7 years, 8 months ago)

; drop table[puzzles]; @ #9894: Riceful does also rather scream anagram, indeed it's lame as... (7 years, 8 months ago)

dferg @ #6174: For the answers I gave 'Trees', 'sea creatures' and 'short' and none were accepted. (7 years, 8 months ago)

dferg @ #6178: What is a Tryst or a Sttry? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jmr @ #9867: (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jmr @ #9882: Don't get what link is in 2 & 3? (7 years, 8 months ago)

dferg @ #6232: It didn't accept John for me as an answer :( (7 years, 8 months ago)

Danimal @ #7167: Great grid - really tricksy. I gave myself double the time and still didn't get them all. Bu they made sense upon revealing! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Cheers @ #9714: Are the Boston Squares still together? (7 years, 8 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9908: Fine gridding! (7 years, 8 months ago)

chris @ #9906: good one (7 years, 8 months ago)

Ian @ #9906: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 8 months ago)

Sally @ #9905: C'mon Pete Runder. Explain yourself! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Davie @ #9905: What is Scolar?? (7 years, 8 months ago)

Jemima @ #9902: *Riveria? Should be "Riviera" ! (7 years, 8 months ago)

J @ #9905: Scolar? (7 years, 8 months ago)

dave @ #9020: very good well done (7 years, 8 months ago)

AYMSN @ #3361: NOT GOOD (7 years, 8 months ago)

Yos @ #1406: That was actually very goodf, for you Steve. (7 years, 8 months ago)

Poil @ #9607: Indeed... (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9902: Harsh bimbo....! I got nothing; 0/10. But I've learned something? Liked the Browning/Winchester red herring. Rest was above my head! (7 years, 8 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9896: Not sure Port is a spirit but good grid nevertheless! (7 years, 8 months ago)

Hater @ #9889: unsolvable, just random thoughts put into a grid (7 years, 8 months ago)

bimbo @ #9853: I put "snakes" - incorrect the answer was breeds of snake. Species anyway not breed, I put pioneers of flight . Incorrect inventors of flying machines was the correct answer. Parameters of correct answer too narrow. Time wasted (7 years, 8 months ago)

bimbo @ #9902: Final Destination? Batman? How about setting a puzzle using something worth knowing. 3 minutes of my life i'll never get back. (7 years, 8 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9607: Two of Ross Geller's girlfriends were actually his wives - confuses the issue re: the connection There is no regular on countdown called Giles. If you are including guest appearances - dictionary corner for example - I would ascertain you mean Mr Brandreth, however his name is Gyles, not Giles. These mistakes made grid particularly difficult (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #915: RE: HappyJambo - also tried invidious, execrable, odious, unpleasant... solved the grid five times before giving up and revealing answer "bad". Is this the puzzgrid programming or do setters have options to include a number of "tags" that could be considered correct (and has neglected to furnish us with enough variations for the answer)? (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #2917: Thought NY boroughs would be acceptable - NY is after all a reasonably common abbreviation for New York... (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #4625: phonetic spellings are incorrect according to OED (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9746: further to Paddy's comment, I'd add that the Smiths and the Corrs aren't rock either... (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9755: Nicely themed throughout - however there is (pedant alert) a summer AND winter solstice in UK, in reference to your explanations of groups... (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #6470: Platini group - answered France Euro 84 winners - incorrect? "midfield square" very specific, especially considering for the Alonso group "Spain World Cup winners" was given as correct - no need to mention they're also all midfielders... (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #798: Metals group - tried twice to name connection - firstly "metallic elements" and secondly (after repeating the puzzle) "heavy metals" - both incorrect, so checked answer (toxic metals). Heavy is equivalent to toxic, and in addition the more scientifically correct (and certainly more used) term, therefore should be an accepted answer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hood Rat @ #9691: Hood Rat??????? (7 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #9846: enjoyable grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

John @ #9866: Very good grid, very enjoyable. (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #8094: FYI jaguar & seat are manufacturers, whereas beetle & ka are models of cars - therefore not exactly related? (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #5743: four totally unrelated films? surely the point of these is to find more specific connections? actors, directors, release dates, genres/themes? (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9895: Footsie 100. (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #7615: major/minor etc. - answered connection as "terms used in musical composition" - incorrect. concepts is given answer - this is a term for an abstract idea representing the fundamental characteristics of what it represents, not solely relating to music swing/reggae etc. - answered connection as "musical genres" - incorrect. styles is given answer - again generic term not specific to music (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #9787: precede or follow? too convoluted - choose one or the other... (7 years, 9 months ago)

NL YCN N CT @ #5603: entered links: shades of purple - said incorrect countries in United Kingdom - said incorrect wouldn't even let me enter fourth link, just said incorrect after I entered third (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9895: Ooh, I like this a lot. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9892: Yes - very good; right up my street! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9894: Nope.....! more likely drowning in a lake of chocolate! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9894: No golden ticket for you! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9894: ....aaaand I messsed it up....sorry folks! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Spikes @ #9890: (7 years, 9 months ago)

Spikes @ #9890: Nope (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9894: ..I strangely enjoyed this one. Probably because i'm a bit Evil... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9892: Excellent idea well executed (7 years, 9 months ago)

Spikes @ #9893: Managed to solve this without actually knowing any catagories. Really strange groups aswell, types of job? Brands? Also is oil a 'part' of a car? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9890: Not sure I particularly associate cars in that way (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9890: Bit Random but quite good nevertheless! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9875: Nice, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9886: Great grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9880: Sneaky but we swill let you off! I had Co(sine), Co(gent), Co(bane) and Co(chin) which got me the group but not the right reason! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9886: good lunchtime 'screen break' grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9887: Nothing wrong with chestnuts! Had all the hallmarks of being a sod of a grid, but, with a little calm and composure ...... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9882: Links a bit odd in two rows? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9886: Excellent (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9887: Chestnut, yes, but they're just so useful for creating grids! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Gavin @ #9881: Good fun grid (although being a child of the 80s helped!) (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9886: Ace Grid, thoroughly enjoyed it! (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9867: Very enjoyable. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9855: Very good grid with excellent spread of groups. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9881: Super gridding, great fun; I had not heard of Freaky.........., so have been educated. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Sandybaby @ #238: Just revisited this after some years. Thanks for your kind comments. I was one of the early joiners. My partner and I had a slight addiction to compiling the Puzzgrids for a while. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #9687: We liked that one (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #9882: Is it wrong to comment on your own quiz? Hi Toby, I uploaded it! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9880: ......'will' Cheeky! Loved it! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9855: Good stuff! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9863: Good ideas well executed. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9866: Not bad - the captain thing could have been more expansive as mentioned below. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9860: Marvellous. Great variety in the groups. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9855: Fabulous grid! I had to drag up all my old knowledge of HHGG. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9843: Same here, quickest I've ever solved a grid, but struggled to get any 'correct' answers (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9866: Apart from the captain thing it was a really good grid. I think I might just award myself 10/10 and say excellent grid, thank you! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9874: Excellent grid Wisty. I got the prison wings but didn't know about German wings.... I now do, thanks!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9875: All good. Nothing too testing for a monday morning but fun! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9876: Some nice ideas. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Polka dot @ #9828: Ah yes,..that's right... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Suzi @ #9828: Nice grid Barry. Just looked him up, and Donnie O'Sullivan was world snooker champion 5 times! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9853: I was rubbish on this, but I certainly learnt something! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Walter @ #9828: He's the younger less famous brother? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Barry @ #9828: No Andrea......I mean Donnie O'Sullivan the snooker player!! Dunno who Ronnie is. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Frisky @ #9624: I think you may be right,toast,but did you lose a word and find a wrong one? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #3295: Wonderfully tough (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9874: Enjoyable (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9865: Very good. Had me stumped generally. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9875: Lots of tasty overlaps. But is mist actually a form of precipitation? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9865: Thank you for the grid, enjoyable (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9874: The standard design of a prison consists of a central area, off which wings radiate like the spokes of a wheel. This helps makes the prison secure since each individual wing can be viewed from the central area and in the event of a riot an individual wing can be shut down. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jen @ #9874: what on earth are prison wings? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jen @ #9836: Straightforward and fun (7 years, 9 months ago)

Milo @ #9866: Solved the grid and entered Captain as my first answer but was given incorrect! Answer then given is "Famous Captains "- think one word is enough (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9876: Interesting, I didn't realise that Garlic was a word for Garlic (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9863: Easy, but good fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

nickelhatton @ #9025: Agreed, good game, but Congo isn't the name of a current country- there's Republic of Congo and DRC. (7 years, 9 months ago)

tibitha @ #9863: Good effort (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9832: Very good, and unusually pleasing to be proved ignorant. I refer of course to the rash not the plough. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9827: Very tricky. Good explanations. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bunfight @ #9863: Nice refreshingly easy grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9624: Frisky. Now I have found my glasses I have noticed your comment whose implication I must say I greatly resemble. The only reason Blues and myself occasionally have trouble finding our beer is that the bottles are made far too small. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Margaret @ #9836: First time trying this puzzle. Nice easy intro. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9846: Great Fun! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9832: Enjoyed this grid enormously (7 years, 9 months ago)

LS @ #9834: Wouldn't accept fruit but otherwise enjoyed it (7 years, 9 months ago)

LS @ #9840: It doesn't accept "palindromes" as you have spelt it "palidromes" (7 years, 9 months ago)

Sara @ #8192: Excellent (7 years, 9 months ago)

roland @ #9844: Thanks for the feedback. Not only Yorkshire and Sussex, but also Avon and Cleveland are now defunct as counties, hence the link. "Gloster" is spelled that way in my copy of Shakespeare's works - a rather old one. It was probably a mistake not to amend that. (7 years, 9 months ago)

No 17 @ #9668: Yes, the Echidna's live at No 16 (7 years, 9 months ago)

LorDaniel @ #9837: Good, but easier than the others. xD (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bimbo @ #9848: Useful for French learners (7 years, 9 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #9844: Was thrown a little by Gloucester being spelled Gloster? (7 years, 9 months ago)

S @ #1956: Good grid👊 (7 years, 9 months ago)

Yvonne @ #9407: Can you accept 'car manufacturers' and 'parts of superhero names' as answers? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Yvonne @ #9835: How is quizzing another word for Quiz? (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9846: Good red herrings . Two each from the Goons and Dad's Army! Had me well distracted and I just solved it in time. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9835: Ocars? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9836: Why spell carafe with a k? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9844: If Avon is a county, then neither Yorkshire nor Sussex are. When Avon was created, Sussex and Yorkshire were divided into separate counties. (7 years, 9 months ago)

roland @ #7626: Very cheeky! It all hangs together beautifully though the link to "toss" is less convincing that the rest. Thanks for this, it was fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #9836: Fun and quick. Agree with Tom's nitpick about callippo but didn't spot it! (7 years, 9 months ago)

roland @ #7632: Most enjoyable, thank you! I didn't know two of the Normans, but otherwise very good convincing links (7 years, 9 months ago)

roland @ #9845: Nice grid. Finished it in time but didn't spot the "be" group link! D'oh! (7 years, 9 months ago)

nickelhatton @ #9776: Should accept portmanteau for the green group Should accept clothing with animals names for purple group (7 years, 9 months ago)

H&D @ #9844: Very good fun! I found it super hard though. I thought I saw presidents and counties, but thrown off by so many. (7 years, 9 months ago)

roland @ #9843: Thanks, this was fun. I solved the grid in less than a minute but it turned out that I didn't know ANY of the links (though I was grateful to get away with "sport"). Kicking myself about the "whispers" one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

roland @ #9840: I really liked this grid (although I have never heard of the in-betweeners). The checker rejected "double act" and "palindrome" as links, which I thought was a little harsh. But great fun, thank you! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9811: Top grid except for the aforementioned issue. Started to panic with all the crossovers, but cracked it. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9807: I echo Hubby's comment. Top marks for this - like the style of grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9832: Superb and combining some of my favourite things :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9831: Terrific (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9830: Tricky. Got the groups ok but some descriptions were too specific to get a full house. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Callum @ #9821: Mint (7 years, 9 months ago)

H&D @ #9413: We like this one. Thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

H&D @ #9411: Should give the answers. No idea why we hot one of them wrong and now will never know! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Sal @ #9832: I love this grid! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9833: Thank you, enjoyed this. Final grouping beat me. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9808: What he said! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9836: Calippo not calipso ( in the U.K. At least!) -also technically the bible doesn't list the names of the wise men. ( nit picker aren't I?) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Matty @ #9834: Should be "tomato", and "fruit" wasn't accepted. Also, "alphabeties" isn't a thing. I presume you meant this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet_pasta (7 years, 9 months ago)

Frisky @ #9624: You lose things quite a lot toast.is it the beer? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Frisky @ #9835: Should be interrogation? Neat tho... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pip @ #9636: Boring (7 years, 9 months ago)

Frisky @ #9833: Clever! Enjoyed this a lot! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9831: Lovely. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9829: Ne'r the less a fine effort, and another piece of jigsaw for my education. Cheers E.L. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9827: Enjoyed it. Good one Mixu P. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9624: Toast, what have you done to my beer? it's nearly all gone... ... Not that important because it's wine time! (I think Pamela has nailed me.) (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9831: Enjoyable! Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Andrea @ #9828: Do you mean Ronnie O'Sullivan the snooker player?? (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9829: Thanks Barry, apologies; a very silly mistake. I feel the spears of error! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9829: Ahh...Half a lifetime of wondering.....! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chigley @ #9818: Enjoyed the puzzle aspect. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Barry @ #9829: Its Witney, not Whitney. As in the Oxfordshire town. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Barry @ #9828: Its the very famous snooker player! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9829: OK Question. Whitney B_____? My Dad used to refer to him/her and I never had a clue as to the origin... Great great tho! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9828: Yep, good albeit tough! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chigley @ #9798: Really enjoyed this. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9828: Donnie O'Sullivan? There's a very obscure actor called that, but I can't imagine that's who you mean. Liked the bands and the Scottish mountains group, though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9827: Nice; got the idea early on but struggled with some of the bluffs. Tidy grid! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Colin @ #9827: Nice one, Mixu (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9818: Really liked the concept. Fun grid. Agree with the inconsistent capitalisation - that threw me from working out what the group with "Th ll" was...more so than inconsistent spacing. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordio @ #9805: Good one (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9822: Oh! brother that was harder than it looked! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9823: nice one, but I now wanna go away for the weekend and eat sweets! ;-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9624: Blues. I was going to finish my beer but I can't find it so I'll answer the point on your behalf. What was it? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Name @ #9818: Inconsistent use of capitalisation (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9821: Fabulous - I completed it with a couple of seconds to go. Great grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9823: Crack-house - love it! Good Grid thanks! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9811: Sorry bimbo, that was down to a typo as per my first comment. Give yourself a point! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9768: Clever! (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9821: Tough stuff. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9822: Great fun with lovely twists. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9821: Drew a blank; waaaay over my head! (7 years, 9 months ago)

bimbo @ #9811: apparently "explorers " alone was incorrect if one didn't add the very specific "during the Age of discovery". Come on (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9818: Kept me going. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9814: As Brads doppelgänger I was delighted to get one row. Fine grid Spagg. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9059: Just tried one of the ones I set a couple of months ago and scored exactly nothing... Time to put the beer down. (7 years, 9 months ago)

LorDaniel @ #9817: Awsome! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9627: Good one, appreciated. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9624: Yeah you could be right Pamela... ... I was going to argue the point but I think I'll just finish my beer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9818: nice idea, but if there were red herrings I got lucky and failed to spot them! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Florence @ #9627: I was thinking of the wrong Zebedee (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #9624: Smart arse (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9818: Difficult, but very,very good. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9814: Super gridding, I confess I ran out of time, but it was a cracking puzz. (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9818: Liked it. Took 3 attempts to get the groups. Couldn't work out the TV programmes though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9818: hi all last time I did one of these it went down rather well , I think this one is easier (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9814: quality grid as always. did solve it but didn't get all the connections (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9795: I thought wooden for the stool group too. Thought I had cracked it until then. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9805: Like it, got there in the end :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9796: Had me stumped, apart from one group! Well done. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9807: Great grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9814: No need to apologise - it's a great grid. I was nowhere with Pitt, but got the rest. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9814: Apologies in advance....! (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9807: Excellent stuff! Very enjoyable. (7 years, 9 months ago)

revolver777 @ #9808: I agree, Simon. With hindsight I would have gone with 'Pop' instead of Music. But thanks for the feedback! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9811: Apart from that, great grid. (I awarded myself the point anyway cos I'm like that!) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9808: I think the music link is a bit weak but other than that, excellent (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9811: Sorry folks, I just tested this and the group containing "Columbus" does not accept the obvious keyword. Apologies for that, I must have had a typo. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9803: Sorry SpaggBol - I'm no good at writing easy ones! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9807: That was sneaky Spagg, having the planets clue when I was looking for another metal. Really good grid, thanks!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9734: Of course, 'Maverick' wasn't actually a surname. ;-) According to wikipedia, the character's name was Pete Mitchell. (I'm now conjuring up images of Tom Cruise in EastEnders...) (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9783: Found this mind-bendingly hard - good though and well explained. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9805: Great Grid, well done! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9803: Nice; found it hard tho! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9801: Nice Grid! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9801: A nice morning wake- me- up ;-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9805: enjoyed this one - although saying last word when there is only one word was ever so slightly off. good though :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

revolver777 @ #9797: Good work! Challenging but fun to try and figure out. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Grumble @ #9794: Some of the links are a bit restrictive... Radiohead? Weapons? D-day landings? (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9800: Wow- that was tough! (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9798: Great stuff. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9799: Very good; liked it a lot. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9803: Great gridding! (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9796: Good grid. The red herrings and crossovers are important elements of Puzzgrid, so well done. I enjoy this type of grid far more than those containing obscure groups, which can generally only be solved by those with specialist knowledge. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hampus @ #9800: Yeah, I can see that the deity-one wasn't very obvious, to be honest I just wanted a category with "mars" in it that wasn't to easily spotted (and thus creating the red herring of chocolate bars). I thought about putting last names of pop singers but realised that Bruno Mars is just a stage name. J is 100% correct. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9798: Enjoyable change. Thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9798: Good grid. Nice idea. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9799: Good one (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9800: The Deities line had me stumped. Should be explained better. Here's what I think the answers for that group are: Princess of Wales: Diana, Ramazzotti: Eros (Eros Ramazzotti is an Italian musician), Mars: Planet named after the god, Fowl: Artemis (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9800: Even after reading the explanations l am still baffled by two in the fowl line (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9801: Nice stuff - stuck for a while with NATO but got there in the end (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9801: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9792: Good idea - rescued by the explanations below otherwise I'd have had to hunt you down!! Nice. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9794: Didn't accept Radiohead alone which was a bit mean; or 'weapons'..otherwise nice ideas! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9800: We live and learn, you did for me! Good one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9799: Like it SpaggBol. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9685: Not too complex but nice. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9801: haha - what fun BUT a small panic until I stopped focusing on the 'alphabet' string! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Eve @ #3: CHEESE STRINGS !!!!!!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mixi P @ #9799: Good grid, as always, SpaggBol. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9797: Nice. Quite hard but I got lucky with the initial configurations which almost lined them up for me! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9800: Too random for me. I felt the 'deities' category needed explanation. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9798: Good Idea well executed. Well done! (7 years, 9 months ago)

z @ #9798: loved it !!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9797: Nice one! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9794: Pity you spelled Amnesia incorrectly. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9714: Good Grid! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9717: Good work BigBoy! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9795: The group with "stool" could just as correctly be described as "things made from wood". (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simple Simon @ #9794: Bit easy, but good try. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simple Simon @ #9644: Amazing...... :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9730: Yep; nice! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9796: A nice try, but a whole grid of short elements such as these can lead to a multitude of possible solutions where too many items fit into multiple categories. Eg: 'Hardboard' & 'Water line' can just as easily be 'Waterboard' & 'Hard line'; or you can swap 'Hardboard' & 'Side line for 'Sideboard' & 'Hard line'; and there are even bigger shuffles such as 'Blackboard', 'Phone book' & 'Water line' being replaced by 'Waterboard', 'Black book' & 'Phone line'; or even 'Phone Book', 'Eye Line' & 'Losing Face' interchanging with 'Facebook', 'Phone line' & 'Losing an eye'! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9731: Nice grid and informative too (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9732: Got them all except the sheep; which is unusual for me....! BAAAAAA! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9734: Nice work; didn't accept MP's but I gave myself the point anyway! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9739: Loved it; right up my street! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9796: Very nice. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9785: Never knew Garage had done a Bond song. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chigley @ #9791: Enjoyed it. Some easy bits, some hard bits! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Milo @ #9792: James Bond - Goldfinger, The World is not Enough, Skyfall, Dr No Tim Burton - Big Fish, The Corpse Bride, Batman, Beetlejuice Alien - Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrected, Arnie Films - Total Recall, Terminator, Twins, The Expendables Hope this helps! :) (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9791: nice (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9792: clever- too hard- rather let down by poor solutions. I got the gist but will now be forever wondering !!!!!!!!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chigley @ #8355: Clever. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chigley @ #9792: Hard!!! But clever. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9770: Good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Milo @ #9792: I apologise in advance for this grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9677: Nice work. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #5594: Not parts of galaxy really - more parts of our solar system. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9788: "A low wall, not as high as the story of a building, often used as a garden wall or fence". (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9674: Yup. Nice work! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9788: Never heard of the "Dwarf" answer but other than that a good set with tons of possible red herrings (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9780: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9787: Clever construction, but far too tough for me. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #6681: Wow RME. You have problems. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Sage @ #9780: These are good groups. V enjoyable. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Sage @ #9781: No, willy Nilly, happy clappy, etc. That group is a bit lame to say the least. I like it otherwise. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #6751: Private isn't a magazine - think you mean Private Eye? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Midnight @ #9776: Three very similar links. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Midnight @ #9785: In two groups, my links were correct but not recognised. I think if the link is "synonyms", then you should accept "synonyms" as an answer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9780: Nice red herring group! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #9780: I enjoyed that mainly because I solved it in 45 seconds !! My best time ever. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9776: Thanks Keith - hadn't come across portmanteau before. tbh it was just fun set of words that made me smile and it was New Years morning. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9632: A nice idea- but these themed ones can easily be too straightforward. if there were any red herrings, I didn't spot them! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #9587: At last a grid that wasn't a load of Jacksons (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #9779: Very nice idea- and a real challenge without being impossible. Only minorcomplaint was the Evolution group was a little vague- perhaps collections of animals would have been even better given what lions and bears come in!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Gavin @ #9780: Great grid and very distracted by your distractors! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9776: Goodone (7 years, 9 months ago)

Cam @ #6934: Really easy to spot the connected ones if, like this atheist, you know your bible. The answers given for the connections are frankly rather odd and creepy! This person needs to read up on the 'no true Scotsman' fallacy before continuing to randomly ascribe things to Christians! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9774: Why not legendary characters? Otherwise fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9776: I thought Portmanteau words for Askhole etc (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9777: Very imaginative. Only got the snooker balls right! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #9777: Wonderful grid. Really enjoyed that. (And failed). (7 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #9770: nice (7 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #9771: good one (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fred @ #4892: If you are going to use French words, make sure you spell them properly!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9777: Ingenious. Different and challenging. (7 years, 9 months ago)

donny @ #59: In the grid it says 'Wayne' when it should say 'Banner' (7 years, 9 months ago)

bimbo @ #9773: strictly speaking one in German is eins not ein (7 years, 9 months ago)

Concerned @ #9572: Are you alright jmwds, have you got trouble with your vowels? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #1791: Made me think, did not know how to describe the undertakers so did not get full marks (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9776: cheers for that one- good fun and solvable (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9777: excellent idea (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9769: Very enjoyable (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9773: like it - got me thinking (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9774: Nice grid - fantastical even! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9777: Very Good; Very Clever! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Loser @ #9775: v,good - smashed it though (7 years, 9 months ago)

revolver777 @ #9738: My first wall, so I appreciate all the feedback. Thanks! :) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Loser @ #9749: Excellent grid - hard though! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #9308: Challenging (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #8702: Quite easy (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9776: I thought the idea was quite fun. It was a bit confusing at first, but I soon spotted some patterns. I have a couple of minor issues: The row with pets in it are also all things that can be worn. The bored panda thing is rather obscure. I managed to link the words, but not spot the thing that actually linked them. I suppose, if it was all really straight forward, it wouldn’t be any fun. Thanks for what I imagine was a rather tricky grid to make. Despite my complaints, I did enjoy it. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9776: Funtastic on such a drismal day- thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9776: Bored Panda... Who would have thought. Nice one Scoobydont. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: Made me laugh too! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda... Happy New Year. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9776: Happy New Year gridders one n'all ..... a fun easy one to start the year off - hope it made you smile :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9771: Nice one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9769: Enjoyed this grid. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9760: Good effort. I liked it once I or going. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9758: The teams did for me. Fine effort though. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9755: Happy new year and nice grid to start with. (7 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #8000: I did not get the last group of connections but when I checked the answer I have to say I had a bit of a laugh! I never would have guessed that no matter how long I sat and looked at it. (7 years, 9 months ago)

David b @ #9010: Really!!!....the first three letters of surnames....too vague......that's not even 50% of a clue!!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #9567: Yes (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #9567: Wasn't Hugh Laurie the Prince??????????? (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9768: that's a top grid, I went to school in sturminster newton- fat lot of good it did me- (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9771: yes easy for us locals (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9775: excellent (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9768: Excellent stuff. I got the groups, but did not see the three consecutive letters. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9773: Very nice :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9771: Sweet, especially as I am living in a useful 'situation'. (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9769: Good grid. Fairly easy, but fun. Answers are straightforward, so can't see that any thing needs "refining". (7 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #583: I feel quite accomplished by having solved this wall!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #583: I feel quite accomplished by having solved this wall!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Nellyg @ #9023: people play sports in a shower cap? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9679: Astrology should also be a word for the Chinese star signs (7 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #566: Such a great connecting wall. I think the question editor and Victoria Corey Mitchell would be very pleased with it!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Magpie @ #9769: Thank you. Enjoyable grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9715: Should accept "Mac OS names" or similar as that's what it is called now not OSX (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9716: Need better description for things with holes in them, donut shaped, toroidal etc. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9763: Kewl. The typo made no difference to me - didn't get that group or connection (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #204: I got all ten points, but I do admit to having guessed quite a bit. There are so many answers that fit into different categories. The spotted ones are the ones that got me the most. It requires you to think, but isn’t too hard and doesn’t require specialist knowledge. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #184: Can’t say I’ve heard of George cross, but there we go. All in all, very good. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9768: Liked the red herrings (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9759: This was really good. It doesn’t require specialist knowledge or anything like that, but is still rather tricky. Nice job. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9769: I made a mistake when typing “Bond” and wrote it as “Dong”. I don’t know how I did that. Don’t let it put you off. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9769: What answer did you put? That would be helpful. Also, I haven’t a clue which one was red. To make it clearer... Numbers, Romans, Job, Ruth: “Book” or “Bible” Christmas, Laugh, Leg, Straw: “Last” Queue, Why, Owe, Sea: “Letter” Fleet, Bow, Coventry, Dong: “Street” or “Monopoly” They just needed the right words in them. I’m not sure if I can edit them. Sorry about that. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #44: Anagram was rejected and that made me sad. Aside from that, it was good. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #3: The polar one is a bit too specialised in the knowledge required for my liking, but the rest is all good. I spotted the publishers and the hitchhiker’s guide characters quickly. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #7497: I have some bones to pick: 1. It’s not general knowledge, which it should be 2. Leaf should be accepted for the one with mesophyll 3. Colour should be accepted for the one with colours 4. Structure is not a type of protein. I’m sorry to be so negative, but please make sure that correct answers are accepted, it is general knowledge and that it is all correct. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Kavonak @ #9756: Why doesn't BD work? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #6333: It does specifically say that you shouldn’t put it up for the general public if it is a specific subject and not general knowledge. What have you done? It says that the group with maths, science, physics and spanish in (Español has a ñ) is places, which is wrong, the same as the one that is places. The groupings are far too general, and therefore difficult to get, even if you get them right, with the exception of seasons. The fact that boxes with question marks appear instead of accents makes this infuriating. I got an A* in my Spanish GCSE and I got 6 in this because it wouldn’t accept my links. TL;DR It isn’t general knowledge There are mistakes Accents don’t appear It’s not “very easy” I’m sorry to be so negative, but there isn’t much good to point out. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9738: The Christmas No. 1s might be a bit trickier at another time of year, and I believe that chicken precedes the words, rather than succeeds. The silent letter one was good but the Mr. Benn one was rather obscure; I’ve never heard of it. Anyway, there’s a chance that I’ve been living under a rock and that everyone else has heard of it. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Becky @ #9769: Answer to red group needs refining as our answer we gave is the correct definition (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #2312: Pretty easy. Still quite fun. It said it was easy, so I can’t really complain. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9518: Pretty good. I’ve never heard Red light as a phrase. That might have put me off. I was looking for homophones. I had Red, High, Night and No. that threw me too. I should have spotted the beans and the matter one was a little bit iffy in my opinion, but then again, I use words like iffy, so I can’t complain. Nice job. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #8000: I got everything apart from the link for the welsh one. It was good fun and quite challenging. I was expecting the welsh to be another missing vowel one. You definitely got me with that one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #1152: I thought the Frasier one was quite mean, even though I got it right. It appears no one else thought that though. It appears you’re better at judging this than I am. Very nice. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #357: Nice one. The links aren’t too obvious or obscure. Although I didn’t do that well, I got some and I managed to have a good go at each link. All the birds caught me out. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #238: It was quite easy, but I did enjoy it. Some mediums seem very difficult and some, like this, a bit easy. Some have pointed out that Replica is a noun, but I think that it’s OK as they’re synonyms for copy, and copy can be a noun. Some good red herrings, but a little easy. That’s not a bad thing as such, more a problem with how it was categorised. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9748: I thought the Salmon one was a bit mean, but on the other hand, the Henry VIII one balanced that out a bit. Unfortunately, “Wife” wasn’t accepted as an answer for the link, though, which made me sad. All in all, I thought it was a bit tricky for medium, but still good fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9765: I don’t want to be mean, but your links were quite lose. Even once I knew the links, I was still confused as to how I was supposed to get the links. Last words of Spielberg films just look like a random assortment of words, and with so many names that are seemingly unrelated, it was difficult to make any sense of it. As someone who doesn’t watch football, I’m probably just annoyed that it comes up so often in Connecting walls, but the currency one, I will admit, was pretty clever. I didn’t take note of the difficulty that it was supposed to be, but it did seem a little obscure, particularly the one about Spielberg films. Even if you had told me it was about films from the same director, I still probably wouldn’t have been able to work it out. I apologise. Rant over. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #4720: I got the point for the great lakes connection just for writing “America”. Not sure if that should be the case, but, either way, good job. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #3361: Nice, but easy. It said it was easy and it was. I can’t really say that’s a bad thing. Well done. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Winston Smith @ #9767: It was quite clever, but the pronouns thing is a bit too tricky, in my opinion, even for someone who speaks french and as someone who knows very little about alcohol or football, I was at a bit of a disadvantage. It was good, but not to my taste. (7 years, 9 months ago)

revolver777 @ #9768: Very good varied grid! Liked the letters line. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Guess who @ #9732: It wasn't easy to identify the tune, but it was definitely a sheep. The chorus was three baas long.The cow wasn't humming at all. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9752: Nice one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9767: Good effort, Thankyou! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9732: You don't know how relieved I feel that it isn't just me .Was it "moonlight becomes you " or was that the cow? I tried to join in but they have their standards. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9763: Thrown off with the crucial misspelling, otherwise would have been a good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

JeremyS @ #9767: Shepherd* Sorry! (7 years, 9 months ago)

JeremyS @ #1708: Should be nameless salesmen! But apart from that, fantastic! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9760: Good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Paddy @ #9756: Not bad, but I don't think Beady-BD works. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9756: A Classic in the proper tradition (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9759: Good one E.L. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9758: Same here, it put the wind (section) up me. Enjoyed it. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9756: Enjoyed it. Fine grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9751: Nice one! If sad too. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9756: Had me puzzled, but a great grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9755: "Merci beaucoup tout le mond." That was for "toast" and the hazy days (daze) of sixty nine wandering through the sunflowers drinking absinthe. Cheers "Wiz", "J" and "SMcK" have a happy and lucky new year. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9758: Epic fail in the Epicurean style. Another 24 hours wouldn't have helped, sadly. Mensa standard gridding my friend. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9759: Ditto! Enjoyed.. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9759: Welcome back - thought you'd hung up your puzzboots - nice selection/styles (7 years, 9 months ago)

Gavin @ #9756: Very good. Enjoyed this. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #1553: Didnt give a point for saying group name starts with a colour!!!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #6198: The batman characters are a bit obscure, never heard of three of them. Otherwise challenging. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #33: Fun but essentially quite easy (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #9523: No real red herrings (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9756: Very good indeed. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9755: Expertly put together. Great Grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9755: Nice grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9749: Just just came - ignore it! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9749: Those villages sounds very Midsomer Murders. On balance I'll take my chance here!Thanks for the grid. Just (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9748: An nuffin be'e on a chewsday mornin than a nice bo'al a miwk. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9747: As a suspected Mancunian so well up on the club scene you surely didn't overlook that the Blue Orchid was one of Croydon's finest, Dead now alas. Like most of the punters shot or drugged there. I like these nostalgic grids ,rose coloured spectacles and all. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9755: We've had a few good ones lately but yours are always great. I remember the summer of 69 very well - hitchhiking in France - bloody lucky to survive that! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9755: Great grid Blues! Got mixed up, summer solstice on my mind.. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9739: I sense (rarely is that word connected with me) a bit of mischief which was a bit wasted on me as I haven't seen the film. However I have seen earlier ones and I recommend the firm of Laurel and Hardy to decorate your house , although I've only seen their monochrome work. Would suit you if you're a Newcastle fan.. Enjoyed trying. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9737: cheers toast for the amusing story :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9738: The salad line apart this was a pleasant puzzling three minutes and nicely varied. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9737: Wild stuff. But if Grantchester is fictional how come I'm paying so much rent for my wife and kids to live there? Have I been told a porky or even a Faure story? Not a bean did I get on this one but I liked the ride. (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9752: good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Gavin @ #5667: Well constructed. Good fun (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9745: Cheeky at times but decent variety and a bit of fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9636: I really liked this. Definitely fiendish but worthwhile. Thanks . (7 years, 9 months ago)

hm @ #1437: Got 0 but got all the clues at the end for 4/10 points. Good table (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9751: Very topical - very well thought out (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9751: Very good and timely. Nice connections too. (7 years, 9 months ago)

MrsC @ #9751: Good tribute to some icons (7 years, 9 months ago)

Paddy @ #9746: Er... Ramones and Corrs aren't British. Not bad though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9738: One of my favourite grids - and I've played a few!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9737: Fiendish doesn't come close - but very good!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9748: Very good - excellent examples and a good set of segways (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9749: Enjoy! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9747: True Blue - Too Blue - I 'blue' it :-( (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9748: Certainly not easy - good red herrings (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fulsmit @ #9714: Had 14 seconds left, quite tricky (7 years, 9 months ago)

Guess who @ #9732: I think I heard a humming sheep late one night near clapham junction,toast. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9747: Enjoy! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9734: Couple of good links. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9745: tenuous at best! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9746: Very good but one of the links is surely fiendish! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9739: Good wall but a bit disappointed on of the explanations was not accepted. Genuine delight at one of the connections though! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1124: Defo hard not medium (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1133: Sooooooo hard but ingenious (7 years, 9 months ago)

Dora T @ #9732: good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Dora T @ #9745: happy new year to all you out there in gridding land x (7 years, 9 months ago)

Danimal @ #9739: I wouldn't label this as hard as I completed the wall in 28 seconds (which is not at all usual for me!) Got stumped on one of the connections though which was a delight when revealed! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9736: Piggies is a good greasy spoon near Clapham Junction. And you thought this was an ad-free site! Liked the grid too though the micro bit tripped me up. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9734: Agreed. Clever. Would like just a bit more explanation though even that is not bad. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9732: Very taken with the sheep line. Didn't get it though because of the humming sheep red herring (all right it probably is only me but wouldn't it be loverly?) (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9731: Excellent but I'm glad I didn't move to British Columbia as I was considering. I've rated this as fiendish but the explanations are a cut above so well done. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9738: Tough and varied - only 3/10 for me :-( (7 years, 9 months ago)

another @ #583: Remote control should be an acceptable answer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newman @ #9736: Good Grid although was a bit confused as the movie is Schindler's List not Schindler's - enjoyed though, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9717: Good grid, bands not accepted though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9700: nice work, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9734: tough but good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9732: nice grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9626: 2 ways to use Ford. Sneaky. Well done. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9642: Agree with Hubby. Couldn't pick out Wacky races. Great fun though (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9646: Fun (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9722: Good (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9236: Wood line is too imprecise. Wood or wooden, not either. Lions are very obscure but that's OK (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9237: David Brent is Ricky Gervaise from the UK Office, the US Office guy is different (Michael something played by Steve Carell) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9732: Fine grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9703: Good fun, but putting all the rhyming slang in capitals made it a bit easy. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9718: Oops. Comment about Synonyms obviously related to history etc, not policewoman. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9718: Good fun. Police women very difficult for me. I think an answer that is just 'Synonyms' should be accepted because otherwise you are searching for another synonym the puzzle setter chooses and might get the wrong one - very frustrating. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9720: Probably easy for Americans. I filter out to get British puzzles only. A bit disappointing to get 3 answers related to America. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Newtoallthis @ #9723: Good fun. FYI Netflix exclusives is very precise and Netflix rights are different in different countries (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9726: Nicely put ,toast! Part good, but part just a step too far and wide. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Romi @ #9735: Good quizz, keep the good work!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9726: Part of this is accessible to players in many countries , such as the goblet line. Part of it requires specialist knowledge of jewellery stores. That might still give a reasonable chance to a lot of players (just not me) if the stores were in London for example. Adelaide will count most players out without a chance. Try something more accessible. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Alysoun007 @ #8597: Spellings mistakes were a pity. Not bad otherwise. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9730: Good varied stuff. I liked it that the sound alike words had an additional link in their subject matter. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9317: you know a good grid when you submit it, come back 1 month later, then struggle to solve it! lol (7 years, 9 months ago)

Alysoun007 @ #9700: At last I found a grid that recognised my correct answers. Satisfying. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pedant @ #9210: Sophie is his granddaughter. Otherwise great grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #9732: very good (7 years, 9 months ago)

anon @ #9732: nice one (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9730: excellent quality - excellent selection of subjects (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mr.Quiz @ #9688: Patrick, I never specified "Charles Dickens original A Christmas Carol novella". There have been many iterations of the story throughout the years and 'Future' has become an often enough used moniker. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Patrick @ #9688: There is no Ghost of Christmas Future in A Christmas Carol, it's the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9717: Don't worry too much about the answer acceptance but do read the advice on the site. This was a better grid . (7 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #9507: Lovecraftian horror , get a life (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9716: Not bad . (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9715: I didn't do well on this one largely because I didn't know anything about a couple of the topics. So I would have liked to learn but the explanations assumed I didn't need to be told. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #9503: Made Pamela laugh (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9714: A little specialised on the Harvard line but good enough to be interesrting more generally. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9708: Good variety of connections . (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9722: Neat,Thankyou! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Danimal @ #9700: Nice wall - thanks! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Danimal @ #9708: Really good wall - please do more. (7 years, 9 months ago)

james gould @ #9708: it's fairly difficulty - I keep missing what's obvious - more training needed (7 years, 9 months ago)

james gould @ #9722: (7 years, 9 months ago)

gav @ #9717: need to review what answers are accepted.... e.g. american football not accepted for NFL and bands not accepted for one word bands (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9693: Dominus vobiscum ( nothing to do with scum just in case there are any other non-classicists out there) Wiz and God bless us every one! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9722: Pretty good and just the right relaxing level for a fuzzy evening. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9701: Shurely it can't be morning already. You must be mistaken Blues, I have just looked out and it is still dark. The grid will probably be a bit clearer with the dawning. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9693: Good grid! Merry christmas one and all! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9701: Left me stumbling in the dark on this Christmas morning. Tough grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9693: Happy Christmus and a merry new ear. Good grid, I discovered the names of some reindeer... Or is it reindeers... Let's be frank does it matter? Anyway it's about time I had a sherry. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Kenzo @ #9713: Best only connect wall ever (7 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #9693: I hesitate to feed the trolls, but - there is a moderator, you, when you rate the grids after playing. Where there is agreement that a grid is bad it will be hidden. If it remains there is no such agreement. Unconstructive comments are unwelcome. A very happy Christmas to one and all! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hex @ #9693: This is not a cock up, Mare and Myrrh are homophones and Frank is short for Francis or Frankie and in any case you got the point for saying boys names. The mare thing depends on how posh you speak, but the words are broadly the same and the level of criticism is unfounded. Try some of ShsunC other submissions-I always enjoy them. Take no notice ShaunC (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9693: I've cocked up a few of my submissions, so, I say "Mary Chrismess" to one and all! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hmm @ #8816: V good (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9691: Superb! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9688: Christmas trickery - loved it (7 years, 9 months ago)

ShaunC @ #9693: Sorry Lindamr and I do take some offence from your comments. For your info I am educated to Master's Degree level and work as a University Lecturer so the implication of me being uneducated is incorrect. I have submitted loads of walls to this site without any issue and shall now not bother submitting again. Thanks Toast for your comments (as ever) and sorry for wasting your time lindamr. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Aagghh @ #184: Animated film not acceptable answer? (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9693: As an educated cockney mongrel I would like to point out that on my night I can be virtually unintelligible in any part of the country. Live and let live goes for scousers too in my book.Enjoyed the grid. Happy Christmas. (7 years, 9 months ago)

lindamr @ #9693: There needs to be some kind of moderator to check these grids. Far too many regionalisms and incorrect connections (ie Frank and Myrrh in this one) that make so many of them just a frustrating waste of time for most educated people. Sorry ShanC but I think only a LIverpudlian could think that Myrrh is a homophone of "Mare"! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9695: The star line was intriguing. I only know Leeds so a fuller explanation would have been welcome. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9698: Well varied. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9691: Nice grid.cheers. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Andrea @ #9693: Is Frank really always a shortened boys name? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hmm @ #8822: Bit of a weird one (7 years, 9 months ago)

JJS @ #9330: I love going to Gibside!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

ShaunC @ #9693: It is where I come from...suppose it depends on your accent....but here in the Mersey estuary we pronounce them the same...sorry for confusion! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9686: The fact that an echidna is also a real life animal should rule it out anyway, in my view. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9693: Myrrh is NOT a homophone of mare! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mwt @ #7062: Great grid - solved with seconds to spare (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9643: excellent and great mix (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9642: delightful fun grid - right up my street - am smiling now (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bemused @ #9636: I'm no cricket expert but in score terms it should either be century and half century or 50 and 100 ...... not a mix of both? Also, slightly picky but 'snakes effect' is either back spaces or down - have never seen a game where only go back 1 space or stay on the same row! (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9680: Not a bad grid but bays way too hk local. Also it's a rook, not a castle. Although if the answer was chess terms and not chess pieces it would be OK as castle is a chess move. (7 years, 9 months ago)

purple sky @ #9686: Oops, just googled Echidna and found it is also a mythical creature, sorry, my mistake, mea culpa :/ (7 years, 9 months ago)

purple sky @ #9686: An Echidna is a real animal, not a mythical creature. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9627: I was wandering Whitechapel Road recently ( what a shock about the bell foundry closing after 500 years) but I didn't have a prayer with the answer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9683: Not bad. Fo Tan was a bit tough on us . I was distracted by Too ting which is an area of south London! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9608: Liked it thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9616: I enjoyed this. Didn't solve it all as I got stuck figuring out what West Bromwich Albion did in 1903! (7 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #9684: Surely typing in "One Direction" when the answer is "They are all members of One Direction" should result in a correct answer? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Toby @ #9679: Bit Hong Kong centric. Chinese Horoscope should also be accepted, not just star sign. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Toby @ #9682: Cheese error. (7 years, 9 months ago)

bruce @ #9677: simple (7 years, 9 months ago)

bruce @ #9682: WTF are chop cheese, cheese cheese, pooh cheese and crab cheese? Simple wall, rubbish answers. (7 years, 9 months ago)

ian @ #9646: Very nice, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

bruce @ #4836: oxymoron +1 (7 years, 9 months ago)

happy @ #9678: rock lobster! Love it. (7 years, 9 months ago)

bruce @ #8450: a fair degree of crossover, so thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

bruce @ #8328: no cross-over between groups, spotted 3 of the groups quite easily and then not difficult to solve. sorry. (7 years, 9 months ago)

happy @ #9682: followed by sticks, not cheese. (7 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #9013: Thanks for submitting, but is there any point in creating a grid that can only be solved by a Dr Who freak from Pennsylvania? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9590: Smoots and Jiffy defeated me. Enjoyable. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9676: As I know nothing about Hong Kong, I didn't have a clue other than brands. Got the other groups though. Fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9281: The "soft" line is tenuous at best, communications should accept inventors (7 years, 9 months ago)

Cordova @ #9668: @Keith An echidna is also a mythical creature that is half woman, half snake. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Alani @ #9636: A bit too clever but also wrong - a hundredweight is not a ton. There are 20 hundredweight in a ton😫 (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9642: Great grid. Didn't get two groups, but still fun. Bravo. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9668: Kangaroo, not kangeroo. And surely an echidna is a real animal? Otherwise fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

anon @ #9674: Loved it, very interesting topics :) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Charaders @ #9592: fires and flog, pretty tangential. Also star wars as well as being homonyms for letters is a bit arsey (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9616: Intriguing but ultimately disappointed with the actual connections (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9626: Nice (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9629: Nice Aussie theme running there (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9633: Could have accepted County towns? Facepalm? Learnt something new today! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9646: Nice (7 years, 9 months ago)

DM @ #9646: Very easy ! (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9646: Nice grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Stella @ #754: (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9644: You outfoxed me Tel with the clever use of just one pocket. Good one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9643: Good stuff. Don't worry about quiz chestnuts - there are new solvers as well as new setters, and even a well-known set can stump people when it comes in wall format. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9643: Absolutely fun and Time person of the year completely stumped me. Once again a good grid Spagg (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9642: Darn it! Couldn't sort out my Wacky races from my Hanna Barbera. Really good grid Spagg, thanks!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9642: ...wouldn't want to go 'hardcore' all the time! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9643: Apologies in advance if some of these quiz classics have been trotted out before - i'm a relative newcomer! Meant to be a fun one.... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9632: Easy, but good idea. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9633: Fairly easy, though I guessed "can all end in -ing" for the face group. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9642: A bit on the easy side, Spaggbol. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9642: Nice, and thanks for not insisting on Hanna Barbera in the answers! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bill.I.Am @ #9636: Too cryptic, to the point that the whole thing is just a bit silly. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9633: One of your simpler ones and fun. Respect to all Zeppelin fans and loved the face links. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9636: Extremely hard,and clever! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9636: Nice ideas, but I'd highly doubt anyone will get more than one or two points (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9633: Not too tricky but fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

no @ #9620: no (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9632: Nice effort. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9624: Three is good toast.. Kings, Shepherds , Amigos, Degrees, Blind mice... Ok so they may not be that exciting but they are immortal and you should see them run.... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Like Zoid @ #9396: All we needed was the NATO phonetic alphabet, oh, and cluedo (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9632: nice one (7 years, 9 months ago)

Boo @ #8652: Ballbags (7 years, 9 months ago)

Boo @ #9523: Games!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9624: You did well Toast! Have yourself a merry one,you are a formidable gridder too, (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9624: Three of the hardest earned points for a long time. I'm too worn down even to trot out any dreadful puns. What happened to the season of goodwill? (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9632: Nice idea. Thanks! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9077: Nice! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9349: I'm with Oli, but good grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9624: Cheers Wiz. Happy Christmas to you. Spagg... My head hurts as well. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9624: It should've been possible,Blues! Others will be victorious,I am sure,merry christmas supreme quizzer..... (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9627: Oh you clever one!very good knowledge ! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9624: ...my head hurts. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9624: Its full of Pros and Cons Wiz and I thought even though there were more "cons" you would "con"quer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9626: Cheeky (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9624: You have such faith in us Blues! I failed, but liked it, poetic somehow! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9626: Cheeky,had me puzzled! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9624: Please excuse my typo with Condonta... I have no idea where the "2." came from ! This may look hard but I'm sure you will sort the rows even if you don't know what they refer to. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ennjay @ #9616: Worked out the four groups but ran out of time to figure out all of the meanings to put each individual one into those groups. Really like the concept though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9570: Great grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9615: Funny how minds work; the tr***gle link crossed my mind on the back of one of the other grids recently...! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9616: Got the idea but it was too much of a stretch for my tiny brain in the time allowance! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jo @ #9615: (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9603: Sorry, Rod Salemandor I really should dubble check my speeling. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smithy @ #9604: Ouch....could replace "Regina" with "Angrier" (7 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #7871: Agree with Jack! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #7677: really good, well done! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9612: Not quite. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9615: Decent grid thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9616: Nice grid just needs to be a little tighter but that's just my miserable opinion. Thank you for the effort anyway it was nice to spot the events. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9616: Really tough. Time ran out for me with only the war dates completed and had the Brexit vote as the kernel for the next phase. You set great grids. (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9606: top gridding (7 years, 9 months ago)

Gary @ #9613: hate it (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9606: Presumably if Gazza played for Atletico he could be Fat Mattress or if that's not progressive enough simply Tull's Fat Man. Enjoyed the grid ,Spagg. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9605: Good grid anyway. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9583: Apart from GTA, thanks for a good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9603: Turture chamber room (sic) = Where one inflicts pain on a turtle? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ian @ #9587: Nice grid, thanks (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9605: I'm giving myself a ruddy good talking to as we speak! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bev @ #9604: *Earring (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9605: Good grid, Spaggbol, despite the geography slip-up. I didn't get the GP corners, but got all the others. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #9603: Loved it. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9605: Yup. My bad. I've moved Damascus from Syria; sloppy .... :-( (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9605: Good difficult varied grid. Is there a slip with the capital though - Amman ? Unless of course President Assad doesn't stop at the current borders of Syria and you are just ahead of yourself. (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9603: Nice grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9603: Phew - got there!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #7871: are rubbers, pencils, pens and rulers NOT stationery? (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9590: Solved it apart from one line that go the measure of me! Nice one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9592: Groups were pretty straightforward - answers less so - good mix but SWs was a bit obscure (7 years, 9 months ago)

Debbie @ #9603: Good, original idea. :-) :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #8745: organs?? companies?? why not accept the two correct answers (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #9523: didn't accept shoot-em-ups as a connection. other than that I would have got 10/10 (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jack @ #44: Very good, nice red herrings (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9597: Ditto ... Nice Grid thank you! 10/10 - I like them! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9597: Nice Grid thank you! 10/10 - I like them! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mr.Quiz @ #9577: Yeah I unfortunately realised my mistake after I submitted... Hopefully it doesn't mess up the whole thing though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #9584: Goddammit you got me thinking dirty with one of the lines here since there is also something else those four things have in common (7 years, 9 months ago)

l21 @ #98: brillantly confusing (7 years, 9 months ago)

Capnbob @ #9568: The meat one is a bit random, 2 are species of meat and 2 are cuts from any animal - not really the same (7 years, 9 months ago)

Emma @ #9590: Still not entirely sure what the connection is between some of them - perhaps the right answer could be given after the incorrect one is offered? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #9590: Good fun, thank you (7 years, 9 months ago)

bgf @ #9592: hurukfy (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9362: Politicians floored me. They're enough to floor us all! Very enjoyable grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9589: Sugar Sugar, you devious one! Completely got me with it, bad Spagg lol. Great fun grid! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9588: Spoiler Alert! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Suzi P @ #9588: Got the Iron group, and the Miss group. No idea about the others. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9588: Ouch, that was tough SpaggBol! Really enjoyed it and ready to get back to work. Thanks!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9587: Sorry Keith, thought I had added just Artists. Consider the extra point awarded! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smnindelica @ #9586: Hmm, I did check that - and I'm not convinced you're right about Meat Loaf - wikipedia gives me: "A surname or family name is a name added to a given name. In many cases, a surname is a family name and many dictionaries define "surname" as a synonym of "family name". In the Western Hemisphere, it is commonly synonymous with last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's given name there." - so it rather depends on the dictionary being used. The name is styled as two names - a first and last - and people refer to him casually as Meat. However, I believe his daughter uses 'Aday' - his birth name... so it really does come down to whether you accept one dictionary's 'family name' over another's 'last name'. If it would let me edit the answer, I'd change it to last name for clarity's sake. And that is more time than I expected to spend today on Meat Loaf's names. Hooray! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9563: Fnaar Fnaar!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9564: Good Grid. Metallica and Motorhead ARE rock groups. Don't listen to the nasty man ;-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9568: Yup. Got me too. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9570: Good stuff! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9577: Yep, what Salamander said. Erk.... (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9583: Thoroughly enjoyed it - the GTA reference made me smile! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9587: Good grid well explained! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Suzi P @ #9578: Rogue Trooper? Huh? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9587: Good grid. Glad I added 'pop' (7 years, 9 months ago)

Miffed @ #9584: Doesn't accept 'towns' as an answer!? I also went for 'sports' rather than 'sportswear' as was being lazy but would have liked that slack. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Suzi P @ #9584: :-( (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9380: Buckingham is not a famous building, it is a town. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9587: Very enjoyable, but you could have allowed just Artists, surely? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9565: Very fun grid. I was looking for a another number whilst all the time shouting at myself "It's SEAS!!!". Went for seas in the end. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9567: Large parts of this beat me but a really good grid. Thank you! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9570: Excellent crossovers, well done! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9570: Excellent crossovers, well done! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9577: In the Colin Farrell film title, the town is given it's Anglicised name - "Bruges" (7 years, 9 months ago)

Hubby @ #9583: Excellent grid. The GTA group stumped me by but enough about my ignorance. Thanks!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9586: A nice challenging and varied grid. Just one minor quibble: Technically, 'Meat Loaf' is regarded as a single stage name. "Loaf" is no more Meat Loaf's surname than "Gaga" or "Rida" are for Lady Gaga and Flo Rida. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smnindelica @ #358: 10/10 with 5 seconds on the clock - so perfect grid for me. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9554: I think ways should be ok for one group. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9582: Tricky for me, but I think Feelings should be accepted as well as Emotions. (7 years, 9 months ago)

john @ #8937: (7 years, 9 months ago)

PipCat @ #9359: Nor do I -Hissssss (7 years, 9 months ago)

smck @ #92: poor answers - should accept sports bodies, government agencies, etc etc (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smnindelica @ #9583: 10/10 - cool groups. (7 years, 9 months ago)

P @ #9570: Cool (7 years, 9 months ago)

smck @ #9583: very good - nice GTA reference (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9564: Nice grid. Didn't accept countries or trainers as answers though (7 years, 9 months ago)

J @ #9566: Good grid. Only got two of the groups. Didn't accept gulf states as an answer though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

FluffyBun @ #9578: Lovely grid. For the 'fool' group, I think it should be "synonyms" rather than "pseudonyms". Given the connection though it is evidence that I have been duped! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smck @ #9564: doesn't recognise countries - for that I'm out!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9472: Yeah, me too - sowee ..... (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1456: good grid. disagree with Mojo, as there are other names in the mix to confuse. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1457: nice one - would like to know first name of Nelson? (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1458: no complaints here - accepted green, trees, corporal punishment - only my 'modes of transport' was not specific enough - fair play. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1462: Nice grid - Santa Pod is a well known drag racing strip. (7 years, 9 months ago)

lolman64 @ #7692: man dont say that thats really mean, i respect the guy who made this and its a good puzzgrid (7 years, 9 months ago)

truth teller @ #7692: this is sugar honey ice tea (7 years, 9 months ago)

Honeymonster @ #3338: V specialist? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Honeymonster @ #3362: Agree with elvis.......French words? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smnindelica @ #9549: Would have done better if I hadn't got side tracked trying to make '_ force' happen. Great grid :) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smnindelica @ #4548: Yep, you win. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9572: Very good and tough. Took several attempts to only partially complete (7 years, 9 months ago)

Smnindelica @ #433: 10/10 for me and 5/5 for you because GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9568: Failed! Good one! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wailin Lovejoy @ #9567: Particularly liked the hidden "sad" terms (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9566: Thought grid. You kept me to 6 (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9505: Very good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9505: Very hood grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Slithytove @ #9564: Doesn't recognise "countries"; Metallica and Motörhead are not rock groups. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9566: I live in Britain's premier grime band h3artland and still didn't get it. Shows it can be done! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9565: Enjoyed the Grid Spagg. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Zoe @ #9565: It was tricky in the time.beat me easily,but it was good ! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9564: Eicn eno yrreT. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Zoe @ #9564: Nuf (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9564: Nice idea. Also glad to see darts recognised as a sport. Doubtful about extending the athletic connotation to the so-called "sportswear" though. Shows promise and you are not the first person Terry has turned inside-out (see much earlier grids). (7 years, 9 months ago)

Fiif @ #9566: Haha really got me on the dishes one!!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9565: I notice you didn't explain the square root of forty nine. Good to see such faith in the success of our educational system. Liked the grid and you did get me looking for the fourth number. What could have been easier? Solving Fermat's last theorem as it turned out. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9565: You beat me. Didn't get first group until time was almost up. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9564: Good start. Keep it up. (7 years, 9 months ago)

GMS @ #9532: Teh is apparently a deliberate mis-spelling. Did this with my y12s who came up with most of it, to introduce them to the wonderful world of puzzgrid. Sorry if we wasted your time Ali...forgot to select to unpublish! Thank you though, Blues for your kind comments x (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9563: Neat grid! Shame on you, Dora! (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9563: any grid with blow and job in it must be good (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9565: nice (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9520: Nice despite the Sicily typo! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9528: Good work (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9536: Very nice indeed. The "Boot" group is excellent (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9531: Methinks AJG is a Geordie. Fun Grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9536: 10/10 - woohoo! Good grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9548: Very good grid imo. Nicely worked (7 years, 9 months ago)

pernickerty @ #9554: Really liked the prime numbers, not just numbers. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9557: Wordy! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9559: Nice grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9449: Just did this one and thought it was familiar. I'd had a go a week ago ! Enjoyed it both times. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9479: Missed this earlier Bluesy, typically different effort fun too. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mogster @ #9560: Thanks, nice grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9546: Excellent Grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9549: LOVED it :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9554: enjoyed the grid thanks but needed to be more flexible in what was accepted as a correct answer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #3410: Very tough grid but very good one (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #3417: Excellent. The group with 'poll' in it beat me regarding the common element. Good grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #3418: Enjoyable (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9549: Tough - I only got my first group with 3 seconds left! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bobby @ #8889: Wrestlemania! (7 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #98: (7 years, 9 months ago)

H @ #9528: (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9557: The best kind of outcome (for you) . I know I should have done better . Have you done me before with Meatloaf and anagrams ? If so my hat would be off if I possessed one. Or if not it's deja vu .Tantalising. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #380: Good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #8494: ok but could been harder (7 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #8034: need to do better (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #1703: Nice to have discovered this cache of great grids. This one is the first I completed fully. Thanks for the good puzzling (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #1696: Good and tough (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #1693: Good stuff (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ali @ #9532: For someone who spends a lot of time online, too easy, for anyone else... impossible. Fairly awful overall (7 years, 9 months ago)

chris @ #9524: misspelt is what is put for the last one and it didnt give the point. other than that good quality although easy (7 years, 9 months ago)

mbe @ #2052: Fab grid, got full marks for once! (7 years, 9 months ago)

mbe @ #392: Sad that 'singing voices' was not allowed for SATB nor 'classification' for the Genus, etc (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9549: Good one, harder than medium for wiz. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #9543: Good one, but "bond" is a bit of a tenuous link (no pun intended) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9546: Good one (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9546: Good one (7 years, 9 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #9546: Ah you almost got me with Che being a shire than a what Good one mate (7 years, 9 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #9510: @scoobydont the objects the words are referring to are called something else in American English (7 years, 9 months ago)

Keith @ #9546: Nice one! Annoyed with myself for not getting the shires in time. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Slovak @ #9531: Doesn't accept stadium (singular) or premier league. Apart from that good grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Zlatan @ #9536: Very good grid. Tricky but satisfying connections. Thank you (7 years, 9 months ago)

Huey @ #9534: I didn't get anywhere close to completing - but had a lot of fun trying. Very Clever ! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Ultran @ #9496: Good attempt (7 years, 9 months ago)

G @ #9531: Good starter grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9536: Very tricksy! Fooled wiz completely ,iin an enjoyable way! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9510: Confusing spelling one, caffeine missing the last 'e' (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9524: Surely just misspelled? No double letter in cemetery (7 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #9532: Is 'teh' flowerpotmen a deliberate spelling? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9532: I discovered a new branch of science. I was rubbish at the grid scoring a big fat zero. Too tough for me simply because its out of my comfort zone. I appreciate the effort though, thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9529: Ho Ho Ho... Nice and easy and sweet as sherry. Cheers. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9529: Oh it's back! That's good! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Anna Roberston @ #9534: Absolute nonsense. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9529: Why on earth did this one disappear? Most unseasonably mouldy decision! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9525: Yes, SMcK, my error. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9534: Absolutely awful. Disgusting and London-Centric. Who cares about London Underground zones!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #2919: Fiendish, to say the least!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9525: Homophone NOT homonym!!!! Poor - and keeps happening!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #48: Nice one (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9529: Indeed,but merry christmas to all,love and mistletoe! (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9529: festive fun and Christmas cheers but not the hardest grid I fear - tum-tee-tum :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9525: You are not wrong,Bowie. Otherwise, good grid! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9525: Mmmm "plateau" may be incorrect as it can do the opposite of the answer. But still a good grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9528: Good attempt, perhaps a little tighter regarding the row about p***s (Don't want to spoil.) Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9525: I'm pleased to have occasioned so much pleasure for you, pomomofo (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9524: Thanks, nice one (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9524: Nice one, but didn't acept a sertain vershun of the quay wurd! ;-) ps the double letter bit is not true of cemetery :-( (7 years, 9 months ago)

Riri @ #9180: What's a toe post? (7 years, 9 months ago)

pomomofo @ #9525: This puzzgrid gave me fizzypants (7 years, 9 months ago)

Sheila @ #9525: Very, very good. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Riri @ #905: Totopoly eh (7 years, 9 months ago)

Riri @ #2689: Fun.. Quickest yet (7 years, 9 months ago)

Riri @ #8793: Fun fun. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #9524: Good puzzle. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Zlatan @ #9525: Good one. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Pamela @ #9324: I didn''t even know my own relatives (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9502: You got me Oli! ( Though I am knackered) .Nice variety. (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9489: Boots. Not sure if you realise that the classification as Fiendish etc is only initially estimated by the setter but then is determined by the markings given by the rest of us. An easy grid iwhich gets a high star rating is a hard trick to pull off for obvious reasons . (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chappers @ #9525: Very puzzling -- well constructed. Thank you. (7 years, 9 months ago)

hats @ #8810: reusing the same type of connection three times isn't great (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wordie @ #9518: Thank you, Blues. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9523: Nice and easy thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9518: Fine effort. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9520: Good one I like the mixture. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9506: Agree with the below comments - otherwise good! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #9471: Have you come across the word "purloin"? (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9503: Ouch!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #9495: Nice n easy, just as advertised (7 years, 9 months ago)

hats @ #9374: imo having three of the groups sharing the same type of link (hidden word) isn't great (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9506: didn't accept F1, dag nammit (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #6236: Kiping???? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Stev t @ #9505: Good grid likes the chess one (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #3671: Awful - Victoria greetings card (nonsense!), incorrectly spelt anagrams, Cromwell the 'King' and most kings killed of 'Old Age'! Other than that, brilliant!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #9374: ruthless - 3/10 (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #6839: Enjoyable. Didn't get the parts of the body connection though. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #8192: Excellent grid - really enjoyed it. Well done (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #728: Poor - didn't like the 'add a letter' group (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #7206: One of the best out there - well done (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9493: took me 21 seconds (modest aren't I?). However, sometimes the simpler grids can be a little tricky as your brain starts looking for the more complex and well-used construction techniques of others. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #56: Excellent - obscure knowledge needed though (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9496: good, yes, but the red group was easy to get and slightly less easy to explain. fun though :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9505: yep ...... nice one :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9506: good grid ..... thanks ..... but 1 group at least could have been a little more flexible in what it accepted as a correct answer. (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9507: Good mix but Blue group was horrific! :-) (7 years, 9 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9510: I particularly liked one group, i.e. blue line. However, didn't understand the red group explanation? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9510: Good one. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9491: Ooh, Starkey is sneaky! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9505: Tiger *** ... Memories. Nice one (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #7062: Well done (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9503: Impressive knowledge but beyond my radar, although I am now going to listen to a little Franz S. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #186: Love the comment about not knowing scissor sisters! Excellent wall! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #7697: Excellent and suitably difficult. Done it first time though! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #1942: Enjoyable (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #2661: Penalised for putting the correct answer - i.e. homophones of animals. Marked as incorrect - poor wall!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SMcK @ #1708: Very clever - once you get it, it is so satisfying!!! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9466: Love the Rick Astley influence. Tidy! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9491: Solid - thanks! (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9493: Nice - fairly easy but not a bad thing! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Chris @ #9507: (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #6140: Very good (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #98: Enjoyable but easily solved. Well done. (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #1875: Liked this very much. (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #635: Nice and simple - just how I like them! (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9350: Eek! Well done (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9261: Really enjoyed this one. I did solve it but not with any great ease! (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9295: Very Good. Got first group! Incidentally, it's uisce not uisge! (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9455: Enjoyed it. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9469: Got the first group only - but was able to guess the connections of a further two when the wall resolved. Fiwndish indeed! (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9479: Made me think! Well done. (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9496: Good, but a little easy (7 years, 9 months ago)

STR @ #9493: A little too easy! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bobretd @ #9115: Suit is a jacket? (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bobretd @ #9322: (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bobretd @ #9340: It cut the mustard! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Jasmine @ #9494: It was the best best quize i ever don brillant questons m9. fanks whevar maide this you r a g. maide my mondai knight. sooooo gud boiiii (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9469: I would have liked a bit more information ( with the exception of the 90s pop groups where less said is possibly for the better). This opinion purely reflects interest in furthering my understanding and is not influenced by irritation at my dismal marking. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #9492: That is 3 minutes I'm not getting back (7 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #9479: Mission certainly was accomplished Blues, and after a very tough day I was glad to relax with it. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Blues @ #9479: SpaggBol, Boots... Thank you for the feedback. The idea was to have a nice easy grid to while away a minute or two, looks like mission accomplished. (7 years, 9 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9479: Enjoyed it. Agree with the comments - not too tricky! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Boots @ #9479: Agree with Dora the Explorer. Nice idea, but far too easy. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Boots @ #9489: Good, though a touch on the easy side. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Wiz @ #9469: Good I guess,but wiz failed sadly! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bobretd @ #1979: Good song grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bobretd @ #9469: Dixmude disaster aircraft was never missing, this is the name of the location it happened in Belgium in1933 site known and one passenger even seen falling from aircraft .. (7 years, 9 months ago)

dora t @ #9489: good grid (7 years, 9 months ago)

Simon K @ #9487: Required a little too much US knowledge for me, but that's not a criticism. Good grid. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Claire @ #9489: Good work, the classification on the Durham etc one was tough! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9489: Good effort. Thanks. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9488: Having two words the same in the grid detracts from the quality because a correct answer can be marked as incorrect. Not a bad attempt all the same. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9479: I agree Dora, fun grid from Blues. (7 years, 9 months ago)

Henry @ #7872: so so easy, back to the drawing board for you! (7 years, 9 months ago)

Horrible @ #450: Poop of a puzzle (7 years, 9 months ago)

Bowie @ #9486: Bits of it passed me by. (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9479: not terribly hard but nice fun idea (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9479: Thanou Wiz. In answer to your question I don't know if it's an original idea, but that begs the bigger question... Did Darwin copy Lamarck? Did they have original thoughts but years and countries apart? Obviously too long in the pub tonight for me ! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Gladys @ #7001: good game (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9479: Neat idea Blues! Original? Don't think I've come across this idea before.... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sheila @ #9479: Looks tricky at first, but once I realised what was going on, it all fell into place. Nice one! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Gladys @ #1942: A great grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Gladys @ #1708: Excellent, but hard! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Gladys @ #48: Didn't do well but a great grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Gladys @ #98: Enjoyed that one! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sheila @ #6199: Liz is right. The wall is in north England. Not north UK. North Uk implies the Shetland Islands. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Becks @ #8000: Easy peasy until the last group. Never have got that last group. Cunning. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Becks @ #33: Tricky but fun (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9472: I missed that ,Ellie! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ellie @ #9472: final clue is wrong: white has two vowels, plus too many word-related rounds in general (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9472: Three excellent rows, not sure about the single letter row, but still it was a fine grid. Thank you. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9473: Enjoyed it, thank you. (The accepted answers may need a little refining). (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9472: only got 2 also and one of those was a fluke- good grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

jaap @ #395: Revlon appears x 2 - why? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Daniel Winter @ #4548: So much fun, being a geography nerd made this the perfect mixture of fun and challenging! Excellent work! (7 years, 10 months ago)

LS @ #9459: The last one didn't let me have 'Scottish people' (7 years, 10 months ago)

Daniel Winter @ #48: Really fun, I got all the groups and meanings, but it was by no means difficult; a rarity for me, well made! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Daniel Winter @ #48: Really fun, I got all the groups and meanings, but it was by no means difficult; a rarity for me, well made! (7 years, 10 months ago)

cerealfan @ #9416: Quite easy, but it didn't accept 'beauty' as an answer for the red row. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9465: Very good and interesting range. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9472: Clever! Got two links only!,shame on me! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9473: Frustrating but GREAT - more please (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5241: So why not accept electrical as a solution then? (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9436: I'm no Mastermind champion so only 2/10 for me :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9464: Another winner - I was doing your grids newest to oldest! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9465: I thought that was one of the easier groups. However, you do need to be a quiz champion to crack Simon's quality grids. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9466: Never gonna forget this quality grid. Great variety and got me good and proper! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9469: Superb. I was lucky - got 10/10 using carefully chosen generic buzz words :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Acem @ #1387: Litre! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sukiyaki @ #9459: Bit obscure or specific. Esp the abrieviations and Edinburgh groups. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sukiyaki @ #9464: I like this one! Thank you. Nice tricky groups but not too tricky! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sukiyaki @ #9465: No, the islands one is far too hard. Be fair! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9449: Tough one taost. Oops! Let's be fair Hubby, there is obviously no intention to offend anyone here. (7 years, 10 months ago)

BaldEagle @ #9455: Good spot on Tenant. I'll hang my head in shame and proof-read better next time! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Simon K @ #9455: Nice, and "orange" is a good touch. Tenant isn't spelt like that, though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Marc Laird @ #9459: Thanks for using me in this - Really appreciate the opportunity:) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Simon K @ #9418: Very nice. Lots of excellent red herrings. One group I'd never have got, but it was a perfectly valid link. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9449: Hubby. I don't view dyslexia as anything to be ashamed of and I am sorry and genuinely surprised to have caused offence. Wiz, thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9449: I lost my z in my eagerness to defend! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wi @ #9449: I am sure there are dyslexics who would disagree,Hubby. It is harmless and not i am sure intended to give offence? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9449: Sorry, but I think the clue around an additional learning need is frankly quite distasteful. The rest of the grid was well constructed but you have let yourself down. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5476: Why not dwellings? Why not just allow dig too? Otherwise great grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

sue @ #9455: good (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mogster @ #9449: Fine effort. Thanks (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9455: nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mogster @ #9452: Nice theme impossible to solve for me. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mogster @ #9455: Decent grid, thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9452: Good fun and festive! Thankyou! (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9438: You have plumbed the fathoms of my ignorance. But I quite liked it. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dwayne @ #9274: That one was much easier (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dwayne @ #9273: Dwight (7 years, 10 months ago)

Frantic @ #9419: Could not find answer to last set which I got wrong. Otherwise the grid was good. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9452: Nice grid. Have to admit I got a bit distracted by" decorate Tina's private one". I was familiar with the song but hey " It's CHRISTMAS!". Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9449: Dora T . Thanks. Did you know that most members of the dyslexia society thought they were joining the daily sex society? Wiz , I thank you too but I won't be renewing our joint membership even at the recuded rate . (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9449: Such a cool grid! Thankyou! (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9449: love a bit of cryptic- almost prefect (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9435: A true representation of what happens if you don't go outdoors at least once a week. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Simon K @ #9438: I wasn't sure what keywords to use for the group containing "lake" - hope everyone gets it (7 years, 10 months ago)

RowG57 @ #9417: Didn't give dom as correct answer (7 years, 10 months ago)

Simon K @ #9157: Could do with allowing "NFL" for the football teams (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9432: I hope you feel better soon. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9414: acknowledged JM and MG - was trying a different approach to my usual grids. personally, its the ones where ALL the boxes and one subject that fry my brain (i.e. footballers or actors) :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sheila @ #1651: No interrobang, this can't ever be described as good. The inclusion of torn for tom reduces this puzzle to the crap pile. (7 years, 10 months ago)

xadoc @ #9417: Exactly the same problems as J, I put presidents and 'dom' (7 years, 10 months ago)

MG @ #9414: Agree with JM about the islands (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9419: But toast,was more entertaining before!although to be fair,the grid worked fine! (7 years, 10 months ago)

JM @ #9414: Two sets of questions about islands in the English Channel is unfairly misleading, even if some are off the coast of France and some off the coast of England. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Kimbo @ #9419: Brilliant. (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9419: nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

Smelvin @ #3258: Wrote eagle but said incorrect. Bunch of arse mate. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9419: Welcome back. Glad to see the treatment has worked. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5584: You might have allowed "leagues"! Otherwise excellent work. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5600: But just mis-spelling basin and Thames does not create homophones. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5617: Excellently flummoxing! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9419: Terry you got me with the Red Herring. I thought it was a Red Herring not a Red Herring. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9423: excellent grid :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #9417: Nice grid but didn't accept dom as an answer. Also didn't accept presidents as an answer for the nobel peace prize group although it is an equally valid answer. (7 years, 10 months ago)

J @ #9419: Nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Q-bert @ #9419: It must a different Terry. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Tulip @ #9419: Terry is unreal! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Terry @ #9419: Of course! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9417: Fairly easy, but nice grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9419: Good grid ! Are you the real Terry???? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9415: Quite hard, but good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Shaky @ #1953: No, this is too specific. All the groups are biblical, mix it up a bit! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5618: Like it. Just enough red herrings to confuse. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9417: Nice one :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Pamela @ #9246: A tad specialised (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9415: Good one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9393: Sorry Toast (and future gridders) - one of the Blacks should have been Back!!! grrrr - must do better .... (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9394: I think you've got your Chile mixed up with your Oman. Still better than confusing your ass with your elbow and it doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9393: Imaginative in parts but the two blacks are not interchangeable so it's not a good idea to use them. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9416: Well I managed to get one wrong -had never heard of contact paper! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9416: Easy maybe, it's nice to have a straightforward grid to complete given all the complex ones you can get on here :-) - mind you, it didn't accept the word beauty on it's own :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

Shimon @ #9416: Too easy. (7 years, 10 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #9397: Very good. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9383: Interesting and enjoyable. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9374: Good stuff. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #8794: Chevrolet and Ettihad. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9407: Good effort although I think you need to work on what is accepted as an answer. Enjoyed it. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #8878: Just putting homophones means nothing. They all have homophones would be more accurate. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #8879: Not surprising that it didn't allow Carey, when the name is Carrey. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Rimmer @ #9244: Since when was the Cat a pilot? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Older Person @ #9236: Far too hard for me (7 years, 10 months ago)

Lassio @ #9408: Will be a good lesson starter thank you!:) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sickdude @ #9408: So good! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Andy @ #9396: Pokémon with the accent is not accepted as a correct answer? Boo. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sickdude @ #9407: Really cool!! Enjoyed this as a brain warmer. Will be good as a lesson starter (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9397: Same here. Cheers (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9397: Me too - thanks :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9392: You have a valid point methinks. I scooted around t'Interweb and found hits for all manner of variations on the theme! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9388: Ah! All becomes clear - thanks pG - I had assumed that I had breached some technical or copyright type rule OR that I had made such a dog's dinner of the grid that some overseer had removed it to spare any blushes or embarrassment! Thanks again. (7 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #9388: Have a look at the dropdowns at the top of the page: by default only grids rated 3 stars and up are shown. Grids 'disappear' below that point, unless someone changes the selection. I'm not passing judgement on the quality of the grid - haven't seen it - just explaining how things work. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9396: Found this one tough. I don't like Game of Thrones or Pokémon, and not a big fan of birds or female singers. :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9380: Yep,great effort,thanks! Don't worry, some people are very particular, but IMO this grid was good! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9397: Enjoyed it thanks! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9380: Well done on your first grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9388: Indeed.advent magic, (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9396: Both general and specific knowledge required for this testing grid :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9395: High quality for you - low score for me! Well done. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9388: .... and 9386 has disappeared again!?! (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9395: Got me. (7 years, 10 months ago)

pomomofo @ #9392: It's a yellow lab, isn't it? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9395: Testing. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9387: Muchus hard. Thank you. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9385: Nice one Scooby. (7 years, 10 months ago)

No Hope @ #9232: Way too difficult (7 years, 10 months ago)

Kew @ #9230: My RHS membership was worthwhile after all (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9388: extremely good and extremely difficult (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9388: There you go!a magician as well as a gridder (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9388: This grid is somewhat similar to 9386, which disappeared about 24 hrs ago and which magically reappeared about an hour ago!! Go figure :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9358: Almost got the Red Dwarf line but even the toaster wasn't enough inspiration. Enjoyed trying though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #9364: Agree goddess should be allowed (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #9374: Bush not allowed? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #9380: "Synonyms for part" should be acceptable for the relevant connection! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #9186: Sapphire has two ps. Otherwise good work. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9385: Neat and clever! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9386: Thanks scoobydont!great grid,enjoy your puzzles! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9386: sorry guys - auto-correct changed spelling of T word, which I failed to spot :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9360: This is very specialist anyway - but I had a feeling it was the answer descriptions that let it down. Is one group fictional wolf creatures, one group fictional water-based creatures and another fictional creatures that signify impending death or doom? So I got most groups right but then not the descriptions. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9384: I am sure Blues has a superlative amount of integrity,even on a Friday! (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9384: J R . Once you get rid of integrity the rest is a piece of cake. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9384: Jrandomuser, firstly this is just a bit of fun, secondly there is nothing arbitrary or inconsistent about the logic as far as I could see, which I have to concede was not very far due to an alcoholic haze. The numbers all refer to the words within the clues, this is a long held tradition in crossword compilation. Cribbage... If you are able to score 30 in cribbage then you stand alone from the card playing masses of this planet. I raise a glass in your general direction. Snooker... I accept that it's possible to score higher than 147 in a single visit to the table in snooker. This though is really irrelevant because the clue was designed to give you (the solver ) a gateway into the grid and the reference to "147 snooker" would register as a maximum score in most people's minds. I thank you for thinking the concepts were nice. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9384: Loved it - laughed - smiled - settled for all correct except the cunning purple group. Marvellous :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9380: I went from OMG to fair first effort. Just need to be more flexible in 'buzz' words that can be accepted as answers. In context, this was fine. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9343: You are cleverer than me,jrandomuser..apart from one group was floored ... (7 years, 10 months ago)

jrandomuser @ #9343: Nice groups, but no real overlaps or red herrings (7 years, 10 months ago)

jrandomuser @ #9349: No red herrings or overlap between groups, so trivial to solve. (7 years, 10 months ago)

jrandomuser @ #9384: Some nice ideas, let down by (given some of the groupings) arbitrary and inconsistent logic. In cribbage, if you are including points for nobs/heels (which you have to to reach the given 29) then the maximum is 30. Again, allowing for setup (as is required for the tennis answer) , the maximum break in snooker is 155 (free ball + black followed by regular 147). The letters group in tenuous in the extreme. And I have no idea (despite getting the group) how 1000 times Booby Vee's night of a thousand eyes gets you down to one eye rather than up to one million. So, nice concepts, piss poor execution. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ex wife @ #9214: Who you calling pyschotic!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9384: ....to entertain while the puzzle maker goes to the pub for Friday pint or three,... (7 years, 10 months ago)

HughHugh @ #9384: Ahh such a good grid, thank you Blues, perfect for a Friday evening. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9384: Having now seen your response to Wiz I note that like me you are of the General Melchett persuasion Blues. Exactly what they won't be expecting ( after our previous disastrous experiences) and therefore exactly what we will do! (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9357: Excellent - especially the pub line. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9384: Another few seconds and I'd have got the ten, but like Brian I'll make no bones about it. Great stuff. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9384: Good idea Wiz. The pub it is then.... Hic. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9384: Gosh ,blues, you excel yourself! Deserve a drink tonight,, (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9383: Technically it should be 'Long Johns' plural (like Trousers or Pants). But apart from that, what a fantastic grid! A great eclectic mix of connections. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9383: 4 and a half only by my scoring. V. Clever - should have done better once I saw the answers! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Badger @ #9380: Ok, but don't see why my answer of 'synonyms for part' wasn't accepted when your answer was 'part of something' (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9380: Alladin ( variant of Aladdin?) . You are being a bit hard on a new grid setter. In the context of the grid there was no likelihood of any confusion. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9383: Clever! I didn't get there in time! (7 years, 10 months ago)

C @ #9380: Whatsaap is not a Social Media App (7 years, 10 months ago)

Lauren @ #7048: Good game but difficult (7 years, 10 months ago)

Alladin @ #9380: "Buckingham" isn't a famous building. "Buckingham Palace" is. "Globe" isn't a famous building. "The Globe Theatre" is. "Shard" isn't a famous building. "The Shard" is. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9374: Am pleased with my 5/10 (with a little luck) and considering the difficulty. Shame it didn't accept relative or relation though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9336: One line tricky, but good grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Al @ #4547: Enjoyable (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wendy J @ #9371: Fab quiz Joe. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Al @ #8806: Very clever (7 years, 10 months ago)

Alladin @ #9374: Tough. I got the family members, but that was it. I don't care much for Harry Potter. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9345: Fair comment ,toast! Great grid.. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9374: I may have got some of the way eventually,but....! Very clever! (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9343: good clever grid- got half of it but too tough to finish (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9370: Tres Tough indeed - 1/10 is pretty poor! (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9350: Very enjoyable. Well done. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9347: I think it is Fahrenheit . I tried some once when I lost the beer bottle opener but it left a nasty taste in my mouth. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9345: I think we had a fair chance of guessing the bus given the context. I did.Good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9343: Tough. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9342: Got the London half but beaten on the sport. Would have liked to know more about the defunct grounds. Good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9340: The Westward Ho line was imaginative. Liked the grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #5366: They are numerous and lovely! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #6137: Didn't accept french footballers? otherwise a nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Badger @ #9351: Having looked at this grid for a second time, I know realise that it is in fact a work of genius. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zorro @ #9364: The US should be ashamed of themselves, littering a land that is not ever theirs. They should send Trump up there with those litter-picking tong things. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zorro @ #9370: Tough, but got it just in time. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9325: Nice one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zorro @ #9369: Solved ! Good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

John @ #9345: Nice grid except for the bus part (7 years, 10 months ago)

poots @ #5366: Christmas Cactus??!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

oli @ #9349: got 7/10 because i put army for military group (7 years, 10 months ago)

EmmaB @ #9369: I liked this one. Didn't get the footie grounds though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9369: Good Grid! Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9370: Nice idea, but I fear wiz' brain is sadly not up to standard ATM. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9368: That's impressive,Laird!too obscure for wiz.... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Laird @ #9368: Really good one this! Did it in two minutes 30 and got 10/10 just... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9362: Okay (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9364: (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9368: Maybe its just me, but I really have no idea what this grid is all about. Even when presented with the answers..... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9362: Excellent grid. Just missed out on the Labour MPs connection and kicking myself!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9362: Great mix of categories. Got me good and proper. (7 years, 10 months ago)

bamboozle @ #9364: Shame it didn't accept goddess. Good random categories though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

nick.r @ #9364: Good grid. Love the items left on the moon (7 years, 10 months ago)

TP @ #9352: Too much "space"! 😊 (7 years, 10 months ago)

TP @ #9336: Phew, finally one I find quite easy! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #9180: I just asked Pamela (7 years, 10 months ago)

Edgar @ #9364: They're "frigging" goddesses not queens (7 years, 10 months ago)

rre @ #8745: I wrote organs and brand names too. Also, the last group isn't distinctive enough - if pizza toppings is ok, why not sandwich fillings? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Quiz Dave @ #9361: Roosevelt doesn't have a second r! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #3: Eve...?puzzled... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9340: Good effort (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9360: Pretty tough unless you are HP Lovecraft... Which I am not so it remains pretty tough. (7 years, 10 months ago)

idklol @ #9353: It was good. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jeb @ #5461: Its Michael Schumacher, not Thomas Schumacher! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wi @ #9360: Whose books! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9360: specialised would be undine-statement. just as well I though I would do this on work's time just before I head gnome! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9359: I'll settle for 7/10 on this tough grid given I don't really like our 4-legged friends :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Poil @ #9351: Of course it's his real name,you can tell" (7 years, 10 months ago)

Santa @ #9351: I guessed as much! How we do jump to conclusions! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Nicholas @ #9351: Actually, Badger (if that's even your real name)....I spelt it correctly. Its not Noel Edmonds the TV presenter, its Noel Edmunds the guy who works in my local Greggs. Easy mistake to make though, I guess. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Big Phil @ #9360: Thought this was impossible to be honest. Two groups are practically the same (folklore and mythology) and no set definition between one group and the next....three mins of my life I wont be getting back (7 years, 10 months ago)

Badger @ #9351: Waste of time and you spelt Edmonds wrong (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9351: The crazy grids attract a lot of comments! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9358: Gawd knows how I got all 4 groups? BUT only 2 connections! (7 years, 10 months ago)

arsenal @ #9351: I agree with Wisty and Richard. Waste of time and unsolvable. There are lots of things I wouldn't associate the first four with - terrorism, Spanish cuisine, Coronation Street etc (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wish @ #9351: agree with Wisty (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9351: I once had Noel Edmunds (sick) for Christmas dinner. I found him a bit tough. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9352: FAO the uninitiated or younger members ..... Spaceballs was a 'classic' Mel Brooks film of 1987 - parady of Star Wars. As good as it was bad and vice versa! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9352: A rare slip but forgivable given all the pleasure you have shared on this website :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9352: Apologies- second Space should have been Snow! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9351: If Noel Edmunds (sic) found his way to my christmas dinner table i'd make sure he never left.... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9344: Really tough. I didn't get any of these. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9352: Ouch my poor head...! Spaceballs was bad enough the first time around!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Zoid @ #9350: Good one, Spaggbol. I got the fruits and countries, but not the other two groups. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Quattro @ #9352: Two 'space's ? I don't even know what Spaceballs are. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Quattro @ #9351: Good gridding, Nicholas. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9351: That's three minutes of my life wasted. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Richard @ #9351: Ridiculous grid, not really solvable at all (7 years, 10 months ago)

Suzi Dent @ #9295: Loved this one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9342: Phew! Tough,good,though,too hard for wiz! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9350: Excellent and a general knowledge quiz to boot. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9348: Good one, but didn't accept Join or Link. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9347: Very nice indeed. Only got 50%. (7 years, 10 months ago)

nick.r @ #9335: Excellent. I was thrown by PEK for Beijing. (7 years, 10 months ago)

peterunder @ #9350: tricky! (7 years, 10 months ago)

nick.r @ #6637: Nice. (7 years, 10 months ago)

nick.r @ #2296: I enjoyed this. Well thought-out (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9346: One group had me "stumped" but a good grid with some testing twists. PMs not accepted. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9350: Cracking grid. Very tough, but challenging in the right way. (7 years, 10 months ago)

ian @ #9345: Bus route apart a nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

ian @ #9347: nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Big Phil @ #9345: almost impossible for someone outside of London to know the number of a bus from golders green to aldwych. Other than that one a good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9349: Beer and acronyms in the same grid. Has to be a winner!!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9347: Nice! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9349: 10/10 - nice grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9348: Not bad! (7 years, 10 months ago)

nick.r @ #9339: Thanks for the kind feedback, folks. Big apologies about the weather/wind howler. It's my first submission and I'm learning the ropes! Nick (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9335: Two groups of airport codes made it very difficult for anyone who is not an aviation specialist. Good grid but slightly frustrating (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9336: Quite simple but nice distraction from work. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9337: Can't believe I got the zodiac letter change but missed the Chinese zodiac!! What a plonker!! But like SpaggBol said, doesn't make it silly just because I was stupid. Good grid!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9339: Good grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9340: I liked the grid although the "cut" connection stumped me. Very clever!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #9339: Should accept 'wind' for tornados/gales/cyclones/storms (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #9311: Should accept 'marijuana' as an answer for the 'cannabis' question. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ouyuegu @ #9333: • rotom/deoxys/shaymin/meloetta- don't understand your explanation • bulbasaur/charmander/squirtle/pikachu- are all starter pokemon, but my answer of 'starter' was incorrect, instead 'from generation 1', which is the same answer given for vaporeon/eevee/jolteon/flareon... (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9339: Nice, thanks! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9337: Pretty Silly as in 'it's been done on only connect but my brain doesn't work that way so i'll poo-poo it'? Thanks for the feedback tho Wiz/Dora t!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9339: Easy, but good fun. Feel that "weather" should have been accepted. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9337: Nice one,Spaggbol! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9338: Very neat! Thankyou... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jelly @ #2748: Bah! I tried so many combination for the keyboard except the right one. nice one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9337: pretty good id say (7 years, 10 months ago)

Polar @ #9337: Changing the first letters of the answers was pretty silly (7 years, 10 months ago)

Milo @ #6621: "Settlers of Catan"???? Are you having a laugh? And the obscurity of the hall group....wtf? ! Coming soon - my new grid with groups based on my friends' surnames and my daughter's favourite toys. 😁 (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9335: proper testing this one - required a certain knowledge and a bit of lateral thinking - nicely tricky. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9326: Robin Island was a horse, so technically correct tbf.... (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9334: ...it's funny where a 'chain' of answers can take you! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9333: I'm not too familiar with Pokemon...think the explanations are not too clear to me, (7 years, 10 months ago)

Chaos_Brain @ #9333: Hope you like this wall in celebration for pokemon sun and moon. Let me know what could be improved (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9326: sorry to all :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9324: Nice grid, good work. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9327: Good Grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9327: Good grid but stumped me. Comment from the guy below me "cockster" is ridiculous. He obviously has no concept of how these grids are created and that you couldn't possibly insert every word some simpleton comes up with. Synonym worked because that is the correct terminology for the link. Well done Ouyuegu!!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sandman @ #9321: Hard with all single words. Obvious when you see the answers. (7 years, 10 months ago)

anon @ #9310: neighbourhoods specifically of the borough of Manhattan, of NYC (7 years, 10 months ago)

anon @ #9311: 'haricot' is mispelled (7 years, 10 months ago)

cockster @ #9329: A bit biological (7 years, 10 months ago)

cockster @ #9293: Why do I have to specify Roman? They are English. (7 years, 10 months ago)

cockster @ #9326: Robin? Nope, it's Robben. Very poor. Also get the categories right - food preparation got me an incorrect! (7 years, 10 months ago)

cockster @ #9327: Dig josh jibe rib, I said the link was "meaning" - "incorrect" - errr, no, screw you. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9327: Good variety. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9326: I liked this but was a bit hampered by the robin- I think it should be Robben . (7 years, 10 months ago)

Anon @ #9326: Not well thought out (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9289: Very enjoyable including the explanations.Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9327: 7/10 for me more by luck than skill! Failed the Brown line. Challenging for sure :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9317: excellent (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9316: Good grid ,Thankyou!careful as you go,toast! (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9316: Managed to get half way but got floored by the Alamo. Must have seemed like a catchy title to somebody but I will continue to rent from the Impact car hire company - good sensible name. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9322: I thought the Switzerland line was a bit tough on us given the number of countries but there was a pretty good level of variety in the types of group and I enjoyed having a go. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9308: 7/10 for me as sport is not my forte. Excellent cross-overs almost too many! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9310: 6/10 for me - tricky but more obvious once the failed groups had been arranged. Well done. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9308: Enjoyable and well constructed. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9300: Nice one E L - nearly got it all but my 'first' guess was wrong! ;-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9293: It is Chichester. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9284: The place name line is a bit of a minefield depending on who you listen to - Marylebone for instance is not the subject of universal agreement. However that doesn't spoil the grid and the Mainwaring line is excellent. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sadgitess @ #9293: Oops! Meant Chicester of course... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sadgitess @ #9293: Isn't it Chichester not Cicester? (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9293: Easy, but fun. It's Worcestershire sauce not Worcester sauce. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jules @ #9293: Quite simple but good . Roman towns could have had a couple of other answers to it (7 years, 10 months ago)

Danny @ #9287: Don't like this kind of grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Danny @ #9292: Are you a child? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9289: Great grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9292: Too easy because the crossovers were limited and easily spotted. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9287: Tough grid which required a fair few stabs before hitting a known connection. Frequent flyers on this would have guessed the group at the start but 'struggled' to hit a correct one with so many options and cross-overs. Enjoyed the challenge even though I didn't get top marks :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9287: It's all true,sadly! (7 years, 10 months ago)

BR @ #8795: Wouldn't accept Chiefs or naval ranks (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9287: Problem with this is that, while clever when you know the answer, there's nothing you can latch on to at the outset to get you there. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9288: Indeed! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9288: Simply EXCELLENT (7 years, 10 months ago)

Big Phil @ #9285: majorly tough... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9289: Loved it!! Excellent grid, thank you!!!!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #7704: couple of strange answers, African cup and gay gene being two (7 years, 10 months ago)

Confused @ #9287: Liked it - it did say the elements were non-metals (U and Y are metals) - but could still be better refined. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9286: Good grid, Spaggbol. Almost had me foxed.... (sorry) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Sal @ #9285: No. sorry. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9287: Just silly. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9283: Apologies Ennjay. I usually proof-read before submitting, but must have missed that one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9287: Would be a nice grid if it weren't for the fact that 'B', 'Y' and 'U' are all both chemical elements represented by a single character AND homophones for words - meaning that there are actually three possible correct solutions! :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Paddy @ #9285: Oh dear. Oh dear. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #7651: good great even if Brown had me stumped (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #7656: nice grid thanks (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #7680: Climbed all of those this year :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

EnnJay @ #9283: It's Poncherello - that spelling mistake threw me for a while. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobyont @ #9286: A good testing but solvable grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9285: Good,but way too tough for wiz! (7 years, 10 months ago)

DORA T @ #9283: 5/5- my sort of grid, clever, cryptic and blooming difficult (7 years, 10 months ago)

DORA T @ #9284: that's a nice grid- never got beyond one solved, could see where you were going but time beat me (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9266: Good stuff. Liked the Tinker line. (7 years, 10 months ago)

君の名前わ @ #6729: (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #7828: Nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Liza @ #9283: Tricky. (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9272: excellent (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9275: cracking grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #7706: The group preceded by T could be B (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #7722: Surely all the SI units are also names of scientists? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #7755: American golf? Is that a different sport to British golf then? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #9275: Proper job! Bleddy ansome. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Cbear @ #9265: Great. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8512: (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8512: again, easier for an eighties teen (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9266: It is indeed Nana. But otherwise, another nice grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9272: Phew! Got there just in time. Good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9258: Sorry Dinner Dog - I have never heard of the word demonym before! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9265: Tidy! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9262: Solid wordy grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9259: Clever (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9257: Enjoyable grid thanks (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9269: Well spotted. Red. Enjoyed grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8596: Nice, easier for an eighties boy (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9269: Of course, there are two possible correct solutions for this grid - as both 'Aga' and 'Radar' are pallindromic acronyms and so are completely interchangeable between their two groups! Otherwise, a nice grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #9270: Nice grid to start the week, thanks (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dinner Dog @ #9258: I liked it overall but I thought "demonyms" should have been accepted. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9269: Cheeky twist. Naughty but Nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9270: A pleasant wind down Sunday evening (night night) grid - cheers :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ann @ #48: Bit difficult (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9270: very good (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9268: good one (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9269: naughty grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9244: I was a bit hampered by ignorance of some of the subject matter but appreciated the structure. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9268: Great stuff! (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9269: Excellent grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9268: Nice one! Thanks! (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9265: very nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #5614: Good grid, but this foxed me too and had to google! They are US study guides it seems. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #9245: Spit take? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Keith @ #5614: What exactly are cliffs notes? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9266: Liked this,but it is Nana I think? (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9264: Indeed you are correct - sorry about that - it's joey and I should have realised :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

topol @ #9264: roo is not the young of a kangaroo (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9265: Nice one. Could have done better - wood have done better! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #6311: Challenging and pleased to get 8/10. I forgive the capital error :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9261: Strange thing my mid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9261: It was a little obscure, but the way my mid works, it was the first thing that I thought of, although I have never taken the stuff myself. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9261: Good grid but I didn't have the stomach for the elm line :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9263: Yay! Got 50% this time, but, you have made a boob on that line! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9262: Epic fail for me and I hadn't even been drinking! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mrsdespard @ #9261: Liked this grid though didn't get the nut quartet (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blu @ #6873: Banana is not a fruit (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9259: I always enjoy your grids (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora T @ #9259: nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora T @ #9260: fabulous grid- but way beyond my capabilities (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9258: Why is it well constructed? I didn't think it was very good. categories a bit obscure. (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9257: I liked it (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9258: That is, scoobydont ,I was wrong to hesitate. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9258: No,you are right! (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9258: Tough grid; very clever and well constructed. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9258: Dilly for Dili, capital of Timor-Leste. Perhaps the pronunciation is different? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9258: Good but not sure about dilly (7 years, 10 months ago)

Antny @ #9097: Looks like this one is for the cricket fans only. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Antny @ #9166: Very enjoyable. (7 years, 10 months ago)

BR @ #8597: Didn't accept "Gymnastic events" which was the exact answer (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #8803: Nice work. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #6452: Good grid...I don't think undergrowth would be right! (7 years, 10 months ago)

AndyE @ #9230: piece of p*ss (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9244: Fun grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Gaius Noster @ #9244: Nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9219: Nice one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9251: It's a big zero for me. Not a bad grid though, good effort thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9251: not for me- far too complicated and contrived- sorry x (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jon @ #61: Loved it. Takes me back to a better time.... Ahhh there there (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8752: Nice grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8765: Nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

Brickie @ #9208: Any chance of accepting "Crazy Gang" for the Wimbledon players? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Gang (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8789: Like it though don't like 2016 so far! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8801: almost ashamed to know all of the answers ;-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8803: Like it (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8820: again, wouldn't accept cheese or sweet (7 years, 10 months ago)

Ian @ #8877: Again, Wouldn't accept racing drivers or candle (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9238: I always listen to pig breeders although i am a vegetarian. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jeb @ #9238: Huh? I'm not convinced all is as it seems here. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9231: Toast - You cant really class a CD as toroidal, as its flat (or at least a very very very thin cylinder). To be toroidal it needs to have a circular cross-section. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Plod @ #98: A shame it didn't accept "Do Re Mi" as a correct answer for the "notes on a musical scale" group (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9231: The only good banana in the bunch,Blues. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9251: Amazon is listed as a green..and yes, I think you guess right about the airplane. A good grid all told. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9235: Ditto,Spaggbol! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9239: Solid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9238: Nice. Tough but nice! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9235: ...is Trump a president already? Crap! I thought we had a few weeks to prepare ourselves yet? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9251: Could you please elaborate on your answers? In what way is 'Amazon' a colour? And what do you mean by 'Airplane stripe'? Do you mean the vapour trail? (7 years, 10 months ago)

AP @ #1272: The Jupiter... line hangs up when trying to solve the connection. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9231: Warning noted Blues. We all owe a debt of gratitude to researchers like you. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9245: Decent grid, thank you. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dacre @ #8793: Loved the containing one I didn't even spot until saw the answer. (7 years, 10 months ago)

tronkil @ #9239: excellent (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9231: Well... It wasn't quite 18 hours, but it seemed like it because every other person on the bus was clinically insane or doing their very best to reach certification standard. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9246: Holy smoke you foxed me. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9246: Holy smoke you foxed me. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dacre @ #9237: Fun (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9235: You must lead a charmed life,Jo! Enjoyed grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dacre @ #9244: Enjoyed it. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9231: Eighteen hours is bad if sober..not bristol to cardiff??? (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9245: Excellent cross overs. Pretty confusing until you crack one group. Well thought out. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9246: I think the explanation for the didache line is poor..otherwise good. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9231: Just got back from a gig in Bristol after about 18 hours on a bus. It's pointless being sober toast. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9231: Er, now I've sobered up a bit I realise I may have been thinking of an EP. Sorry. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9239: Challenging especially as all boxes were names (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9231: Got the triangle but no more because I thought the CD was a toroid and didn't get round to the flag line. Very strange as I had never come across the word! Enjoyed the grid as I went on in hope all would become clear ( though I'm still not sure I've got it). Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9230: Good tough knowledge-based grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #9240: Presumably not a serious grid! Or let's give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it was done by a young child, in which case a good effort! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9240: Bless :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jules @ #9213: When clicking, if you tilt your head 45 degrees, and hold your breath, it works fine. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jules @ #9238: Good gridding. For anyone who has never tried Highland Swiss - I can recommend it. A lovely smoky hard cheese. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Davros @ #9240: As Mia has subtly suggested, a dictionary might help with your next grid, Smartey (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mia @ #9236: FAR TO HARD FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mia @ #9240: I love this one itd quite difficult but really goodd!! (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9238: intereste din your source material for pig breeds- am a pig breeder by profession and have never heard of any of them- is this a joke grid- if so 5/5 (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9239: nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

Davros @ #9238: Decent effort. Had me puzzled. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9237: did I larf - I surely did - especially as I got all 4 groups :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Joann Biggleswade @ #9239: Loved it (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9238: Really tough but well put together grid. I got the cheeses, but that was about it. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9235: I have no idea who Louis Spence, Alesha Dixon, Mark Ramprakash or Jay McGuiness are. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9237: Not for me. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9231: Jayme - Toroidal - of, or relating to, or shaped liked a toroid. (ie doughnut shaped). Ovular would be relating to something egg shaped or oval. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9237: It worked for me!thankyou.. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9222: Thanks for the feedback; i'll hone things as best I can. This trying to please everyone malarky is a bit tricky tho!! Thanks all. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Honeymonster @ #990: I always thought it was islets too (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9237: This whole grid basically came out of a daft joke so not sure if it actually works as a fair challenge but hopefully it will make some people giggle anyway! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9235: Louis Spence? Gay? Never! Also 'Toksvig' (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9233: Good grid! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9231: Like the groups and idea but thought round should be a synonym for circular. I'm a wordsmith and had never heard of toroidal - is ovular close enough? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9222: Got one. War. But even that should have had the clue 'Edwin Starr song'. I think you have good ideas for groups but the links are often not direct enough to give people a chance of joining the dots. It's not enough to just stick down a clue that has a tenuous or indirect link to the group at hand. Maybe that's just me... but I think that's the quickest way to get higher ratings on your grids if I'm being brutally honest! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jayme @ #9221: Yeah I think some of the links are too tangential. For example, could be 'Chris Rea: On The ...' Even then in this case I wouldn't have got it as I've never heard of that song - but I would have felt it fairer. (7 years, 10 months ago)

pomomofo @ #9231: Very cute! (7 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #9046: Very nice! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9235: Got the groups in the time BUT for the wrong reasons! (7 years, 10 months ago)

"299" @ #9235: Hey guys. What do you want me to do a board on next? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9233: Howzat... Managed to clean up quite nicely. (7 years, 10 months ago)

ogbert @ #9134: OGBERT (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9231: Blimey! Got the groups and learnt a new word!! I wasn't holey correct :-) good teasing grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9231: Excellent work. I had not heard of one of the words and have learned something. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9229: Nice; could see what 3 of the 4 connections were but not well enough to actually pair them up! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9218: Yes, homonyms. You're correct. I am a silly sausage. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Red Salamander @ #9218: Technically they are all homonyms not synonyms. But it was such a great grid I think we can let that slide. :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9222: Complex and challenging; good grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Xxxxx @ #9221: hmm, not convinced… "has something to do with…" is rarely a good "category" theres a beach cafe in banff and a man from waikiki once visited the rocky mountains (7 years, 10 months ago)

Suzi @ #9213: I found double-clicking worked (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9222: I got the rhyming slang group, and I figured there was a Boomtown Rats group, but didn't manage to complete it. Hard grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9218: Too good for me. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9227: Ooooo, hard. I like a hard one. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Will.I.Am @ #9205: I agree with toast. The mis-spelling of Britannica is unacceptable. Otherwise, I well thought out grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Will.I.Am @ #9213: You just need to click the button really hard. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9214: Lovely. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9215: Great. I like Mayfair. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Jo Guest @ #9218: Splendid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #8235: Sorry? Still there ,duh! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #8235: Where has this gone!? (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #8235: OMeGa! It was all Greek to me but managed to break the coda despite the shoal of herrings :-) excellent :-) (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9214: Top stuff, very well done. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9205: Blues , EL , magic! (7 years, 10 months ago)

pomomofo @ #9214: very nice. i personally prefer it when all the links are on the same theme, it's more elegant. (7 years, 10 months ago)

oli @ #9214: good connections but i i'm not a fan of grids where all the links are the same theme, if you could have spread these four groups over four grids with other themes it would have been better. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9208: Radio 1 breakfast presenters ? If I'd hung around to hear them I could have picked up a copy of the midday paper on my way to work! Thanks all the same. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9227: This is a great grid,herrings abounding! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Oddball @ #9208: Nice grid! And hello ramuz! Where have you been? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Xxxxx @ #9221: Xxxxx (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9214: Enjoyable grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9218: There is a great Python song about the philosopher that I will now be singing all the way to the pub. Nice one Mixu P. Enjoyed it. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9219: Fine grid E.L. (I love the song.) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9222: Spagg, I had a couple of goes at it and managed to elicit a correct result but if I was here until Christmas day I would never have identified the reason. Two good rows for me two not so good rows. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9204: Nice idea , interesting and decent explanations. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9205: That's correct Wisty and if I am not mistaken wasn't there a song in the Film Titanic which (and I am no expert on musical genres) was not very heavy. QED. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dora T @ #9212: oops- still can't spell bloody Middlesbrough- there you go (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dora T @ #9212: glad you like it- apologies for midlesborough- youre right mixu- I spelt it the lazy and wrong way (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9221: Decent enough grid. I got the Hawaiian islands and the Scottish group quickly. Figured there was a beach thing going on, but ran out of time. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9213: Sorry, I could not open the grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9215: loved it-very well done. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9218: Just like a young steak-tough but very tasty! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9214: Nice work (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9215: Good stuff (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9213: How did you get grid to open? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Raveen @ #9196: Flushed Away isn't a Pixar movie. Other than that it's a good grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

Will.I.Am @ #9213: Tough one. I only got the food group. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9214: Excellent (7 years, 10 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9215: Excellent. (7 years, 10 months ago)

tronkil @ #9207: nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9212: Gd grd. I didn't get the detective dramas, but fathomed out the rest. Small point, but its Middlesbrough, not Middlesboro. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9213: Maybe try again?wont open.. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9214: Very clever! Excellent (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9205: There is no end to the things you don’t understand. The mind will search for a lie to give it an answer you can understand, but one song at the right time will challenge what you accept. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9212: Refreshing and very well cnstrctd (constructed). (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9213: Spirit. I could not get your grid to open. Shame as I only had time to try one grid before I have to get going. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Hubby @ #9212: Loved that grid! Really made me think but achievable nonetheless (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9212: Good fun; enjoyed that! (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9210: Why thank you! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #9212: Really fun, thanks (7 years, 10 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #9208: Good one. Although the DJ line didn't accept "currently under investigation" (7 years, 10 months ago)

Spirit @ #9213: Thanks for playing my grid! Hope you enjoyed it. Do you have feedback? Do you have a complaint? Just want to say something? Or honestly, anything else? Well, you're here so you might as well... Comment! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Spirit @ #8094: Nice grid, Think!!! :) (7 years, 10 months ago)

Alani @ #9205: Are u taking the p*ss? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #2518: Accepted all my answers = Artists colours, metals, newspaper pieces and used in laundry. 10/10 I'm happy. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9185: Good one Wisty. (7 years, 10 months ago)

dora t @ #9208: easy but nice (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9183: Nice work with the Savoy herring. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9182: Not sure the Dorothy group has a real link but pleased to have got the Norris group as name based grids are pretty tough. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9180: Now I am learning about comfortable women's footwear. Difficult to see any use for it but still knowledge for its own sake and all that. But an explanation would have saved me another dubious entry on my search history. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9179: A couple of good lines but why does Mike Myers wear a mask? OK he doesn't look great but...... (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9205: Terry Bull! How are we supposed to get this when you throw a spanner in the works by miss-spelling Britannica? Spoiled a perfect ten for me. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9210: Love it Spagg. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9208: Yeah I was just hoping everyone has a bit of fun tbf!! Some old quiz standards in there! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9208: Ditto Spagg, but I don't mind easy. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9207: Another good effort. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9206: Nice one thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9205: Terry I think you may have made a mistake, I have seen the Titanic in a library and it didn't look very heavy. It's a good grid though, I tried to do it with my eyes shut but kept missing the keyboard and nearly scalded myself with the cup of tea. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9206: This one had me stumped. I got the US states, but that was it. Had never heard of Yellowknife. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9207: Also a wee bit easy. Solved it fairly quickly. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9208: Bit of an easy one SpaggBol. I solved it after 22 seconds. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9203: I got the 'G' group, but that was it. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9204: 10/10 :-) Good grid though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Val Kilmer @ #9205: Solved it!! I once saw Joan Miro in concert in Bridlington. Oh wait.....its wasn't Joan Miro.....It was Shakin' Stevens. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9205: Genius or insane....i'm not sure which. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Alex Bond @ #662: DELETE (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9119: I think the animals are hard.in the time? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Dan @ #9195: Things that begin OB, wtf (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9187: Could have done with 'fruit' rather than 'fruits' as an acceptable answer but fun otherwise! Thanks (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9169: Thankyou,toast,as you see I am like Sheldon cooper, fussy,(but not so clever,sadly!) (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9193: Good Medium Grid (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9194: Never heard of Tooth Gem - good grid tho... (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9169: Freedom fighter..war by subversion etc.Barry! (7 years, 10 months ago)

doggodoesthings @ #9137: quality memes, whoever this scott bloke is he sounds like a nob (7 years, 10 months ago)

Blues @ #9181: I think that the answers may need some attention. Nice effort. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Barry @ #9169: Dunno what "guerrilla" is, but I did mean "gorilla". Have you not seen Planet of the Apes? (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9195: Not sure that the items are named after the countries. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9196: OK grid. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9200: I think you might have reached saturation point now Mrsc. It was a decent attempt. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #9119: Finished quickly with all links and 10/10. Relief can now go to bed as it's 1am (!) and have been playing for over an hour but have to finish on a high! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #9134: Agree with Equinox01 all straightforward except towns - far too obscure! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #9155: Solved quickly with all connections and links. Makes me feel good when I don't have to struggle. Thanks. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #9169: Agree that it's too obscure and gorilla spelled wrong. Got just one connection and the link! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Picky @ #9193: Too easy. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Picky @ #9194: Hair up? Tooth gem? Good grid with lots of crossovers though. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #9182: Found this difficult and couldn't find any connection and then not one link! Tried musicals for Dorothy, Eva, Maria and Elphaba - said incorrect. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Janine @ #9193: Finished quite quickly and got all the links easily scoring 10/10. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9184: Tough but just because I didn't know doesn't make it bad. Good effort, at least it was just word extensions. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9177: Once again not bad. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Bowie @ #9176: Not bad. (7 years, 10 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9167: Apologies- rush of blood to the head! (7 years, 10 months ago)

conti @ #9184: Most clues are obscure but the third is positively ridiculous. Even the solution makes no sense (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9177: I am hopeless at these topics but as a helpful suggestion the only line I got was the one with the only four boxes with more than one word. A bit of a giveaway as a result .Hope that helps. Keep gridding! (7 years, 10 months ago)

Me @ #48: last one works putting '-time' after each word, though not elegant (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9184: I got nothing because I didn't know enough but thanks for explaining. (7 years, 10 months ago)

shaun c @ #9188: grey is spelt wrong otherwise really good (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9176: I had to look up some of the words after failing on a couple of lines. Appreciate the grid but would have even more so if explanations were provided. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9175: Enjoyable grid. Thanks for decent explanations. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9174: Liked the variety. Be careful with the answers though and use word stems as in the anagram line the correct singular answer was disallowed. Not important to me but it can disappoint some . (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9173: Nice shop line though I may have to revise my next grid so as not to clash. Think the shooting line is nearer the real Peter Cook than the charming E.L. Wisty but I wasn't thrown for long. Not a great grid but certainly not a Dud. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9172: A bit of trouble with answer recognition and the animals line was asking a lot for Brits but I liked the hidden words. (7 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #9169: Re Gorillagate. If this was a clever red herring as I assume my message to Barry is to use the explanation to avoid all the misunderstanding. On the other hand that will work only if people read and understand the explanations. In my experience they often don't. Well done Wiz for your work on this. (7 years, 10 months ago)

Wiz @ #9169: Apparently there is something called gorilla warfare ,an exercise programme? Maybe,being charitable, that's what was meant! (7 years, 10 months ago)

shaun c @ #9168: good, tough grid not sure that musical pitch is the same as a musical key (7 years, 10 months ago)

shaun c @ #9169: thrown because guerrilla is spelt wrong (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9167: Tough, interesting grid. I echo the previous comments. (7 years, 10 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9168: Great grid. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9166: Oh boy - that was GOOD! (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9167: Good grid except double Caspian. Red would have been a(n) herring alternative. (7 years, 10 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9169: Had 2 goes with a sleep in between - got zero both times! Too left field for me :-( (7 years, 10 months ago)

jeanlin @ #9169: I didn't get any of the lines. Way too obscure and "gorilla" didn't help. Poor grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Barry shitpeas @ #9169: Shit (7 years, 11 months ago)

betty @ #9169: Poor grid. Poor lad can't even spell. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9170: Found this by accident but liked it. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9169: Loved the tea bag line. I can believe that of Johnny Vegas but Pele? Wiz you are easily distracted by not only grids involving biscuits but those involving a brewed beverage ( a kindred spirit my friend - cheers!) (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9169: Nearly marvellous. Thank you. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9168: Grid good. My solving ability bad. Nice one. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9168: Good clues and nice variety. Also decent explanations so a strong grid overall. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9167: Toast has nailed it. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9167: Strong points were the decent explanations and the crossovers. What this grid lacked for me was variety in types of clue ( believe me I don't think getting it right is easy). The absolute " don't do this" is two identical boxes because they are not interchangeable and with good crossovers the grid takes too long unless you are lucky. Nice try . (7 years, 11 months ago)

botchass @ #6362: june born tennis players? really? only a tennis anorak would know this (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9162: Not now Wiz, I am looking for the bottle opener. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9165: Didn't do as well as I should. I would blame that on the village but compared to the bloke who once gave us anagrams of German cities with letters missing this should have been a doddle! Need inspiration. Must find that bottle opener. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9163: The two themed lines were really good. Then I was left looking in the wrong direction, as you may have intended. In which case fiendish! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9162: But Toast! I still don't get it..help me! (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9162: Thanks for clearing that up Wiz. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9165: Dora T. I enjoyed the challenge. Good one. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9164: I am lost. Tough one Spagg, a bit too specialised for me to guess the (fantastic) tv link. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Dora T @ #9168: hard but very good grid (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9169: But I think either can be right on investigation ,sorry! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9169: No I haven't ! (7 years, 11 months ago)

MoFa @ #9169: Wiz, you've spelt gorilla wrong. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9169: Guerrilla? . (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9162: I give up.must be in the wrong grid or universe!sorry for too many comments irrelevant to grid. I liked it!bye...... (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9144: Very well thought out. Good tough grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9145: Also didn't get the Hollyoaks reference but nice change of topic! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9162: Just to clarify,I meant Nigel and the biscuits, no probs with the grid! (7 years, 11 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9160: Niiiice (7 years, 11 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9162: ...I AM just stupid I think. Tough... (7 years, 11 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9163: Nice; tough until it 'clicked!' (7 years, 11 months ago)

Dora T @ #9160: I totally echo Blues (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mixu P @ #9163: Thanks E.L.Wisty (7 years, 11 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9163: Very entertaining grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9163: Good,not easy for Wiz tho.. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9163: Fairly easy, but enjoyable nonetheless. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9156: Enjoyed this one. Got all the groups, just didn't didn't guess the fish one. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Nigel @ #9162: Chocolate digestives?? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9157: Really enjoyed this. 3/10. Never would have got the American towns in a million years. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9134: Didn't get the towns group, but the rest were straightforward. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9160: Got the counties and the doctors straight off. Figured there was an Agatha Christie thing going on. Didn't get the Beethoven group. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9139: Maybe be a little less judgemental, have you heard of asters as flowers ? (7 years, 11 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9155: Thanks all; enjoying this malarkey! (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9157: Only 3/10 for me, but it is about 23:15!! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9156: Very tricky but I enjoyed it. Got the numbers! (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9156: Great selection/variety. MMR excused, only coz I cracked it ;-) (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9155: Good medium grid - on to the hard one now! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9160: Nice grid (I think the options you used for the answers may need a little adjustment possibly.. Didn't allow Ireland or Dr... But this is just a minor point.) Thank you. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9157: Nil for me. Tough. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9156: Good good SpaggBol, I live and learn, nice grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9155: I'm with Wisty, good fun. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Jeff Tracy @ #9023: I didn't have a son called Lance! (7 years, 11 months ago)

SpaggBol @ #9156: Thanks both. Only my second try. Grateful for the feedback! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Pls check @ #9139: The all end with flower is not correct! Head master is wrong (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9160: Good one thanks. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9156: Not sure MMR really fits as it is a vaccine I think but a different and very interesting approach which I enjoyed. Well done. (7 years, 11 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9160: Clever gridding, very well put together. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9139: Loved the countries line! Cheers (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9130: Neat grid (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9138: Super! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9137: Now that is a tough grid, and slightly left of centre if you ask me. I have to confess that I was non the wiser once I had read the solutions although this could be due to the altitude here in Cardiff. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Soctttttt @ #9137: oh deer (7 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #9138: Echoing thoughts of Wiz. Thanks Wisty!! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #7677: There was a Birds band in 1960s I think,with Ronnie wood in it. (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9130: Oooooo, that was tricky and I was tricked - fixated on a very large bridge red herring. Well executed. (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9129: Tough grid - UK audience will struggle I'm afraid - I managed 1 out of 10 :-( (7 years, 11 months ago)

Big Phil @ #9098: several names with incorrect spelling made this very difficult. Unless youre a cricket fan (a big one at that) its a complete guess. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9111: I was hitchhiking with a pal in France long ago. He asked someone "ou est la guerre la plus proche". Probably got sent to Vietnam. I spoke better French and went to the railway station . Don't hitch in France - long story but some of them were great so not anti French at all. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9127: Clever and varied,Thankyou,scoobs! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #9112: All OK except Kung Fu styles - bit too obscure for me. So I only got 7/10 but in 1 minute. (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9123: Thanks :-) hope you weren't too 'cross over' the permutations? ;-) (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #3716: I agree with Mr A . (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9117: Thanks toast - try to be inventive when composing these testing little squares! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9126: Nice work. A few more crossovers would make it harder. I really enjoyed seeing Sia in here! All the best. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9125: I think six stations is too many potential combinations of four (fifteen?) to try in the time but you got me with the Cleo line fair and square. Thanks. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9124: Some good stuff. I would have liked fuller explanations particularly on the Condor line. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9123: Nice red herrings though the female names line was so potentially wide it made the grid very difficult. All the same well done, you got me. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9120: As a wealthy fashionista I had no problem with the Burberry line but fragrances for women belong with the boybands in Room 101. Liked the grid but you need to work on your answer recognition. Thanks, I enjoyed it. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9118: There is no excuse for boybands but otherwise a good one. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9124: Wow never heard of a Condor or an ostrich before! Nice grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #8981: I too wrote "contain names of animals" (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9115: Nice straight-forward grid with a bit of variety. And a rare chance for the Peppa Pig fans among us. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9108: cheers scoobs (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9120: Upgraded to Hard as I got no groups in the time and only 2 connections afterwards :-( (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9119: Sorry ignore previous comment - was meant for Gussie 9120!! (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9119: Epic fail. Weren't easy for me :-( upgrading to Hard. Well done :-) (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9118: Got the runaround with 2 groups, but muddled through. Good crossovers (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9108: Son of a gun! Failed with only 50% success. Nicely done. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9111: Enjoyed it. What's gorilla a homophone for though? Am I being dumb? Also, take toast's point, presumably you could also have a correct solution where doe and sew can be swapped round. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #9113: Too sporty for me too. Funny how those room names immediately say "Cluedo" even though they might be rooms in any large house. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9116: Liked the phonetic contractions. cheers! (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9114: Particularly liked the Gladstone line ( which I should have got). (7 years, 11 months ago)

hi @ #4308: hi (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9111: I didn't really feel that ,toast. Thought it was great! (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9114: Nice. Got the groups and 3 connections, with 1 by default ( Naples group) - good mix (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9113: Only 50% for me. Good testing grid - bit too sporty for me. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9111: This is a good grid but here comes the but. There are too many crossovers. Keep going . You have done good stuff. . (7 years, 11 months ago)

Winderus @ #9108: Ingenious perhaps? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9108: It was clever,Thankyou! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9108: Glad you enjoyed it toast. I actually wondered if my Richard was a tad disingenuous as others are all surnames. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Alani @ #6470: Football nerd (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9108: I liked this one. It was a much needed sobering moment when I realised I had missed the great Little fellow. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9102: Thanks Blunes, though the men in white coats say there is more chance of curing me than Terry. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9101: Mystified how three of you seem to know what the first group is. Surely that depends on the order in which you get them. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9102: Terry please excuse myself and Toast we were suffering from "overuse of N syndrome" which inadvertently inserts an " N" into random words. (7 years, 11 months ago)

The Lad @ #9101: Fair enough on three, but agree with chimp about the Norris, Neeson, etc group. No true link there, except for how much ass is kicked.... which is subjective. (7 years, 11 months ago)

The Lad @ #9102: I really don't think you're "getting" the concept. You need to use genuine links.... A flick of the finger, a nuclear missile, and anything in-between could kill a moth. If any of these were in common parlance, it would be fair.... but they're not! And since when did toes and bananas come in pairs? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Very Nice @ #8983: Indeed (7 years, 11 months ago)

Philomena @ #9064: One of the groups is wrong - All Hallows Day is not Halloween, it's the day after (7 years, 11 months ago)

scaramanga @ #357: good puzzgrid (7 years, 11 months ago)

Sarah mitchell @ #9046: (7 years, 11 months ago)

Sarah mitchell @ #9067: Great (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9106: Mondogrid - not likely as all our friends are locked up with no access to phones or sharp objects. Terry - good to see you have found the spellcheck but as I explained on 9078 Boybands are of no interest and is there really any need for language like shuttle***ks? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mondogrid @ #9104: Really tough, but almost enough clues to do better than I did (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mondogrid @ #9106: I suspect this is one for a friend. Not really in the spirit of a connecting wall, I fear. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9094: Too specific. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9104: Difficult. I worked out what some of the groups were, but couldn't quite get there in time. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Sarah mitchell @ #9075: Emjoyed! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Sarah mitchell @ #9077: Great (7 years, 11 months ago)

Terry @ #9102: Wiz - Two toes = a pair of toes. Two bananas = a pair of bananas. Whats difficult about that? Blues / Toast - No incorrect spelling. Dumb A**e - Thanks for the productive feedback. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9086: Could have done with more explanation on the novels. Liked the jazz line. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9104: Good and different but the Carol line was a step too far into the mire of popular culture for me. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9102: Come on Terry! What's your answer? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9104: Original,Thankyou! (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9102: And next time try to spell month right. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Dora T @ #9104: Apologies if you hate it - thought id try something different- also apologies for the deliberate (not) mistake in one of the answers- made a last minute change to the grid and forgot to change the answer bit- sure you can work it out tho xx (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9102: Or do they? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9101: I scored exactly zero and I tried it many times. (I didn't know there were multiple hulks !!) Very tough for me. Great explanations and facts though. Thank you. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9102: How can you kill a month? Squash July, Run over December... Come on Terry think of the trouble you'd cause if we lost November because it was battered by Noel or his brother. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9102: I don't think toes or bananas do that... (7 years, 11 months ago)

Equinox01 @ #9100: Tough, (7 years, 11 months ago)

Gift @ #2526: I agree, definitely a bit tipsy... and why not? Absinthe or Baileys goes very well with a puzz grid or two of an evening! Good grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Gift @ #2526: Not in the same glass though. Hic. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Gift @ #2526: I agree, definitely a bit tipsy... and why not? Absinthe or Baileys goes very well with a puzz grid or two of an evening! Good grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Gift @ #6140: This is an excellent grid, nice crossovers. Thank you. (7 years, 11 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #9101: Obscure and tenuous? Would have putting in there their first names made it easier? Also shouldn't chuck Norris be the first thing to pop into mind when you see the name Norris (or is it just me)? (7 years, 11 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9101: Tough grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #9100: Very clever and enjoyable. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Gift @ #4625: Nah, that's too fiendish for me. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Bill @ #9098: But Gooch instead of Edrich for 300 (7 years, 11 months ago)

RowG57 @ #9080: 3rd group aren't synonyms of each other (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #9078: If we'd known you were visiting we'd have put out the red carpet. Clever grid needing broad range of knowledge which in my case doesn't extend to boybands. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Stevo @ #9081: 7/10 for me. Might have helped that i'm an Everton and cricket fan... Nice job, especially on the crossovers! Cheers (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfie @ #6875: Bit disappointed - also should have accepted "Captain" for the pirate one (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfie @ #11: Said websites, feel it should have been accepted so in my mind - 100%!! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9082: I just couldn't see the links! Well done! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9082: Nice one. I scored exactly zero but the answers revealed some good knowledge. Thank you. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Blues @ #9086: Pretty deep in parts. Hard to find the connections, but once again I gain some knowledge. Thank you. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfie @ #179: cheesy board! Enjoyed it! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfie @ #4308: Got them all right but you wouldn't accept to con for first one BooHoo! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfie @ #184: Ages since I got 10/10! Good grid! (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9079: That was tough. Hardier than it looks! And I learnt a new word. (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9078: Challenging. I failed, but Howard is not the surname! :-( (7 years, 11 months ago)

chalkncheese @ #9078: Six wives. very good! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mogster @ #9078: Nice mix. Thanks. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mogster @ #9076: Surely the same word should be accepted for the answer to the two colour rows. One being related the other unrelated, but the common denominator is the same word. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Mogster @ #9077: Good effort. Thanks (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #9078: I wish! But good grid! (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9070: That was tough. Got it with 8 secs left, then spent a few minutes getting the final "one". Been waiting all day for your latest quality submission. Thanks. (7 years, 11 months ago)

HughHugh @ #9068: Excellent grid - beat me! Well hidden birds. The 'and' one was too tough for 3 minutes ... well, for me anyway. (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #9065: Cheers guys :-) aim to 'please' (7 years, 11 months ago)

dora t @ #8944: ???????????????????????????????? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #3462: Quite difficult to put into groups but actually all links are - birds. For hens, partridges, doves, geese did accept egg laying birds! (But then don't all bird lay eggs?) (7 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #8944: This is ridiculous. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #3436: Found it quite hard, have to have lot of film knowledge. For swans, gulls, magpies, seagulls disappointed not to have had birds accepted. Maybe football teams with nicknames but they are a grouping of birds! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #594: Am told it's not where from, that's whence!sorry! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #8882: Needs more flexibility in answers. Should accept isles. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #8898: Sorry but poor. Arsenal and macaroni spelt wrong and the word "band" was rejected. You must have more flexibility in your answers. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #594: Or where to ... (7 years, 11 months ago)

Wiz @ #594: Whither? Where from? (7 years, 11 months ago)

OnlyConnect @ #594: I'm sorry but what interrogative word is 'wither' a homophone for? (7 years, 11 months ago)

scoobydont @ #8921: Good testing grid, but snooker balls would also have been an acceptable answer for one set. (7 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #8883: Still on top form. The trick with the missing 3 was a bit tough on us. I'd have got it all otherwise. Oh yeah..Well done. (7 years, 11 months ago)

The Ref @ #8922: Didn't accept 'refs' (7 years, 11 months ago)

Oliver @ #8924: What does Parts mean for the Galaxy group? (7 years, 11 months ago)

Antny @ #8923: Difficult grid, although I managed to get the Hidden Weather group very quickly. ;) (7 years, 11 months ago)

Badger @ #8921: Nice. Should be 'Chestnut' though, threw me a bit (7 years, 11 months ago)

Besty @ #8913: Very clever; good grid. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Oliver @ #8895: FAO: OnlyConnect, it accepted animals when I put it as the answer. The site occasionally doesn't accept the answers, even when they are right. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #8875: Finished the grid in just over a minute and all my links were accepted giving me 10/10 so I could finish playing on a high. Played tonight for over an hour and it seems I have done over 300 grids so donated a fiver! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #8876: Wouldn't accept currencies but did take parts of a clock! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #8877: I agree with the comments below. Wouldn't accept F1 drivers or candle. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #8894: Lots of crossovers with footballers and fictional detectives. Looked impossible at first! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Janine @ #8898: All comments have already been made below. But nice and easy and finished very fast with 7/10 but really 10/10 as put bands for line 3 which wasn't accepted. (7 years, 11 months ago)

Weird @ #8757: Weird (7 years, 11 months ago)

Harriet @ #2026: Loved this grid, so many crossovers, I loved it :) nice one! (7 years, 11 months ago)

Hux @ #2184: Nice quiz. The ships group could have the answer HMS as an option (7 years, 11 months ago)

Harry @ #8898: Shame it has to be "underground" and won't accept "tube" But otherwise a nice easy one to get the brain warmed up (7 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #8898: Arsenal spelt wrong (7 years, 11 months ago)

Badger @ #8888: 'Rulers of their respective countries'? Which countries? Why wouldn't you accept 'Heads of State' It's the Marie Celeste by the way (7 years, 11 months ago)

Hubby @ #8879: Excellent grid, thank you! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8887: Still a good grid E.L. (7 years, 12 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8887: Apologies, I thought I'd covered all possible options, but missed carriage. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8873: Bit of a tester for this time of the morning. Good one. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8887: I like the many options. Lovely grid thanks. (Didn't allow carriage as an answer.) (7 years, 12 months ago)

tristo @ #8575: swear word alternatives = euphemism (7 years, 12 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #8880: I believe the murderer was Mr. Maxim. In the zoo. With the nuts. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Besty @ #8890: Good grid, but would not accept cars or cats as answers. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Hubby @ #8889: I had the double letter link too but that was clutching at straws and realised that it wasn't what was being asked for even as I put it in. Good grid!! (7 years, 12 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8875: Very British. Not that there's anything wrong with that! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Bowie @ #8892: Good grid (7 years, 12 months ago)

RowG57 @ #8888: Nice but you could accept Heads of state as answer (7 years, 12 months ago)

Bowie @ #8889: Nice effort. I might have had the same link as Midnight. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Bowie @ #8888: Handy grid. (7 years, 12 months ago)

MikeHookem @ #8892: Very nice (7 years, 12 months ago)

Skylink @ #8892: decent grid (7 years, 12 months ago)

Bowie @ #8883: Blues, very nice twist on proceedings. I'll half a half of what you are drinking. (7 years, 12 months ago)

RowG57 @ #8879: Didn't allow Jim Carey films (7 years, 12 months ago)

RowG57 @ #8877: Didn't accept types of closure on clothes (7 years, 12 months ago)

MikeHookem @ #8890: Very enjoyable. Especially like the place names with men's names in them (7 years, 12 months ago)

MikeHookem @ #8876: did you show this to Woolfie? (7 years, 12 months ago)

Skylink @ #8888: V for victory surely! (7 years, 12 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8879: Good red herrings (7 years, 12 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8887: Lots of crossover categories. Good grid. (7 years, 12 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8888: Good red herrings. (7 years, 12 months ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8889: Midnight, was it "double letters?" Because that's what I had. Fun grid, as is any quiz that has a Wrestlemania clue! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Wiz @ #8883: It must be some special brew! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8862: Dang, I should've got a couple of those connections! Good grid. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Squiresy @ #8880: Fun! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Squiresy @ #8845: Wow that was tricky - so many cross-overs (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8873: I got two groups. Challenging! I was going to say the same about Crescent. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8876: Same thing with the currencies. Liked the grid, though. Sorted the groups in 25 seconds flat... (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8877: Yup, same concern here. It's a shame you can't edit these grids. The connections are sound, it's just that it doesn't accept perfectly good answers. (I wonder what it actually wanted for the F1 answer?) (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8889: I had a completely different link for the group including "rabbit". Not a very good one, but I think a valid one... (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8882: Should have accepted "isles" for "islands", but a fun grid. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Wiz @ #2028: Was that me? If so, glad to help! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8883: Weird one... it sort of works in reverse, instead of being given things and asked to work out what group they're in, you're practically given the groups and have to work out what the things that go in them are. I have to admit, sorting the last two groups was pure fluke for me. Interesting variation though. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8884: Fair play, you defeated me! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Midnight @ #8888: I put "rulers" instead of leaders and didn't get the point for it. On the other hand (so to speak), kudos for allowing a general answer of "hands" for the... well, hands question. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Bowie @ #8879: Nice diversions. ( One minor hiccup - Did not allow cat as an answer.) Thanks. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Jimbo @ #2028: Thanks alot - your answer solved all my problems after several days stirgglung (7 years, 12 months ago)

Espn @ #6359: Sursriping to think of something like that (7 years, 12 months ago)

Sk @ #8450: If you mean Storm's real name it is Ororo. Also Marie is Rogue's given name in the movie series but not the comics so you could clarify in the answer. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8882: Good effort. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8884: Very nice. Like the herrings. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8883: The inspiration comes from the beer. Thank you chaps. (7 years, 12 months ago)

OJS @ #8882: You need to add some alternative answers in the free text (7 years, 12 months ago)

Big Phil @ #8876: Liked the grid, got the lot but it wouldn't accept currencies for one of the groups. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Big Phil @ #8877: Yeah same as Blues - I knew all four connections but it only accepted two of them. wouldn't accept candles or formula 1 (7 years, 12 months ago)

Big Phil @ #8880: Very straight forward grid, loved it but maybe a tad easy. But we all have to have an easy grid now and again! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Big Phil @ #8881: Enjoyed the grid but despite getting the groups no problem, the group that can still contain words after the I is removed could all rhyme also... thought that should have been accepted.. anyway, enjoyed the grid. :-)) (7 years, 12 months ago)

Big Phil @ #8884: Nice grid, not too difficult just had to find the right words to connect. Liked it (7 years, 12 months ago)

Wiz @ #8883: Very thoughtful,very clever,very Blues, thank you! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Stevo @ #8883: What a great idea! Many thanks (7 years, 12 months ago)

Blues @ #8877: Nice grid but you need to check your answers so they scan a tad smarter. (It would not allow candle as an answer.) (7 years, 12 months ago)

Janine @ #8795: Quickest grid with 10/10. Finished on a high! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Janine @ #8796: Lines 1-3 easy Line 4 ?????????? (7 years, 12 months ago)

Janine @ #8871: Fastest time I've ever completed a grid! (7 years, 12 months ago)

scoobydont @ #8845: Thx Badger. Was getting desperate with Belper! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Stevo @ #8873: Really enjoyed this one, thank you. A great range of stuff and a good challenge. Only slight dampener is I think crescent is misspelled. Cheers (7 years, 12 months ago)

Woolfie @ #8871: You've spelt my name wrong. Outside now (again)! (7 years, 12 months ago)

Badger @ #8845: Not bad, but Belper? (7 years, 12 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1043: Only got 2 out of 4; Beatles I had as 1st names of US presidents, otherwise tricky testing grid (7 years, 12 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1051: Too hard for me :-( (7 years, 12 months ago)

scoobydont @ #1053: Got the groups, but, did not accept pop album titles :-( Also, didn't take marine sea creatures, which was fair enough. Nice mix (7 years, 12 months ago)

Bert @ #639: Super cute Nay! And I think your "fat not long and skinny" would be better described as &qg;otHamburuer style, not hot dog." Just sayin'. I think your baby will be very cute set upon this quilt. (7 years, 12 months ago)

Darence @ #6359: só agora que vc repostou que percebi que não respondi o no2ae#8m30;P&ddington é uma boa opção!

Ron @ #8843: This is terrible. Who are these scientists? Please include full names in the answer reveal. Also "weird" brand names is highly subjective, in what way is Next weird? I also put two answers that most quizzes would have considered correct ("flags" and "lynx") that were scored incorrectly. Bloody hell. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8830: What a very useful thing to be able to do. What colour does she change into? Please say becomes a shimmering silver or a really bright orange. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8837: A decent grid. Didn't get the Canadians. (I generally don't get Canadians....) (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8819: How can you list "time" as the category and "time" isn't an accepted answer? (8 years ago)

MikeHookem @ #8834: I gave it a good kicking! (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8830: Tremendous. (8 years ago)

Red Salamander @ #8830: What a waste of time... (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8815: Good. (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8816: Good (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #525: All those things said to be "found on a graph" are more likely to be found on a map - since when did graphs have legends and scales? (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8820: Fun grid, but would not accept cheese as an answer. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8818: Good grid. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8816: Clever. I worked out three of the subjects, but failed to group them in the time. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8818: Fine effort (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8816: Nice one. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8815: Good effort again (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8806: Fair effort Mixu P, thanks. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8810: Four categories of word play is too much. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8621: Wow. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8628: Great. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8629: Good stuff. Quite easy. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8638: Excellent! (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8640: I think 'tangent' was much too difficult, and I'm unable to find a connection to 'radius' from the given tile. Anyone enlighten me? (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8687: Not too hard, decent. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8700: Great stuff, fun. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8701: Mmm, I wrote 'womble' and 'river' and neither were accepted as keyword answers? Otherwise great grid. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8794: Need to accept more correct answers, like "cars" and "sponsors" (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8804: Nice one. (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8805: Enjoyed it. (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8806: OK but a little repetitve (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8780: Oh damn, you're right. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8791: Nice. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8792: Not enough crossover. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8793: I like it. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8795: Maybe not enough crossover. There were only four navy ranks, and only four slang phrases, which made them a bit straightforward to guess. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8796: Nice job. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8801: Good stuff, although 'NATO' should imo be considered a correct answer. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8802: Very hard, didn't get it in the end, lot of good red herrings. (8 years ago)

CoatiCapuch @ #8803: Fun. (8 years ago)

Jeronimo @ #8791: Nicely crafted. Very tricky! (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8791: Wow, I found that tough. I got the principle really early but still left floundering to pick 4 for each group. Good grid!! (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8751: Good solid grid Terry. I love ArthurBostrom.com (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8789: Nice one. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8776: Very nice (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8751: Sorry BleepBloop (if that is even your real name). I didn't mean to upset you. Please accept my apology. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8778: Lowblow? (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8772: Great but for the 50. Nice idea. (8 years ago)

Harriet @ #6139: Really good, but a dash is actually a hyphen. Sorry, English teachers spoil everything :) great grid, thank you :) (8 years ago)

Harriet @ #6361: That wasn't rubbish, it was well thought out :) (8 years ago)

SharkeyH @ #8769: Really nice one. Difficult but achievable. (8 years ago)

SharkeyH @ #8774: Yes I noticed that just as I posted. If only there was some way of going back to edit them. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8774: And I missed out'in'! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8774: Good Sharkey,but I think you may have missed an L the explanations? (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8772: Very good, nice fun grid regardless of the Roman 50 (if that's what it's intended to be) Thank you (8 years ago)

Cannymoo @ #5553: No comment (8 years ago)

Repetition @ #8672: Wasn't the Princess a Duke (8 years ago)

silva @ #8772: 50 is L not c (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8765: Enjoyed it. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8766: Nice neat grid, Thankyou! (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #480: Apollo and Minerva are Greek not Roman and Cupid isn't really one of the godly pantheon (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8754: Had me swinging in the trees for a bit. Tough at the end. (8 years ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8757: Another awesome grid. I got these though unlike some of your other grids. (8 years ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8759: Brilliant! I didn't get any but not like any gird I've seen so far. Thanks. (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8759: Oooooooeeeee! (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8752: Liked it. (8 years ago)

Holly sox @ #8751: It's just a bit of fun... (8 years ago)

pomomofo @ #8754: congratulations hom sap, this was super (8 years ago)

KJA @ #8701: I liked this as I could actually do it without (too) much help! (8 years ago)

BleepBloop @ #8751: This is awful. This is just awful. Tainting my favourite website. Not even witty or funny. (8 years ago)

BrodieFish @ #8752: Bit too simplistic. Needs more varied connections and some red herrings. Keep at it. (8 years ago)

BrodieFish @ #8750: Interesting grid as always from Mixu P. This one definitely harder as I didnt know most of the terminology. Nice false group also. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8755: Mmmmm Why no give answer "French", maybe not enough accurate. Fine grid, tough as boots that are not new. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8753: Spotted them and enjoyed it. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8752: Colours of the rainbow methinks? I enjoyed it. (8 years ago)

Grumpy @ #8739: Nice idea (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8751: I didn't know you had a sister. This was one of your easier ones because I can see nearly all the same things from my bedroom window except for next doors bin, so I just took a punt. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8750: Nice one Mixu P. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8752: How does colour fit the category? (8 years ago)

Mondogrid @ #8752: Nice little wall, one suitable for teens I think. Perhaps a couple of red herrings needed? (8 years ago)

RowG @ #8672: Dukedoms should be correct (8 years ago)

Colin @ #8742: Loved it (8 years ago)

MariA @ #8750: Cheeky. :-) (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8750: Like it. (o)(o) (8 years ago)

kevin @ #1708: just looked at it for 30 seconds, then it started to make sense, very clever (8 years ago)

kevin @ #2267: they don't all equal five (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8750: Nice one, Thankyou! (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8745: "Companies", not "Company's". (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8747: Too tough for me, Blues. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8747: Thanks Hubby. (8 years ago)

Peachy @ #8746: Gone now! (8 years ago)

betty @ #8746: How stupid is this, The grid and the setter. (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8747: Good grid. I had never heard of the parts of a book but I am now going to look them up. Thank you!! (8 years ago)

EmBorrissed @ #8672: Wasn't the Princess an Austin, not a Morris? Good other than that. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8746: I could take a guess Blues! (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8746: Got the first three but the last one foxed me. What was the bands name? (8 years ago)

TeePee @ #8722: "Cloth" should probably have counted for the second grid, where "fabric" was the answer. (8 years ago)

TeePee @ #8726: Indie and Lace as girls names? Beetle, ant and dragonfly as "animals"? Nope. (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #450: DAMMIT MISSPELT JONATHAN! (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8746: Why is this even up in the first place? 😠 (8 years ago)

Alsagerguy1 @ #8718: Epic and hilarious although mediocre challenging (8 years ago)

Alsagerguy1 @ #8746: Mushroom mishrom (8 years ago)

Alsagerguy1 @ #8737: Sorry I am new to this and will try to improve it and make better puzzles next time (8 years ago)

Peachy @ #8734: I think steve hulk sounds odd. (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8737: NSF you are joining in with the crazy mood hereabouts. (8 years ago)

NormanStanleyFletcher @ #8734: Good grid, though technically Hulk's name wasn't Bruce. When he was a normal man he was Bruce Banner, but then he turned into Steve Hulk. I think. (8 years ago)

NormanStanleyFletcher @ #8737: Not sure about the food group. Whilst some subway systems do have cafes, etc., not all do. For example, the subway system in Oslo has a strict policy on no food outlets. This is because of litter. (8 years ago)

NormanStanleyFletcher @ #8742: Oh come on Terry.....you cant pop a balloon by drawing a pin. How would that work? (8 years ago)

Hobble @ #8742: The voice of reason BigPhil? (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8742: Terry I thought Keith was Welsh. (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8742: Absolutely ridiculous and doesn't make any logical sense. Why make a grid that only the maker can solve? awful (8 years ago)

Peachy @ #8742: Especially the tower.. (8 years ago)

Dangermouse @ #8742: Never a hope in hell of guessing three of the groups but they did make me laugh. (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8742: Certainly outside the box thinking! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8703: Don't start me off ! (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8703: Kitty? (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8733: Top gridding. I once went out with a Swede. Well, he was more of a turnip actually. (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8732: Thanks Blues & Wiz. You just brought a tear to my ear. (8 years ago)

Badger @ #8737: Need to expand on the permissible answers, wouldn't accept '_ Acid' Why is machinery found in a museum Small thing, use capitals as in Pizza Hut (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8737: Same as Big Phil. Good try though. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8734: Good grid. Thanks. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8732: Terry thank you for your kind response. I know you try to nail the facts for each grid but sometimes it's nice to let yourself go and stick the odd dubious one in. Give it ago you'll enjoy it. Keep up the splendid work. (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8737: Typed acid and it wouldn't accept that for the acid group... think that needs amending. Other than that straight forward groups although missed the museum category (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8732: Terry, we need grid makers who test the limits like you! (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8732: (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8732: Thanks for the kind words Blues. I always try to make the grids interesting and factually correct. (8 years ago)

pomomofo @ #8733: Ambassador, with this puzzgrid you are really spoiling us! (8 years ago)

xy @ #8731: excellent! (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8729: Bolsover... So that's where it is. I have just spent a glorious ten minutes reading about the Beast of Bolsover... Top man. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8731: Enjoyed it Mixu p. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8733: Nice grid Mixu P although for some reason it did not give me Scandinavian as an answer. SharkeyH, sad to see it's all over with you and the girl, how did it finnish? (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8732: I can't understand why it wouldn't accept Zola for row number four. Anyway I don't think Germany is synonymous with pizza, although I bet you can buy it there if you look around. Testing Grid Terry but solved eventually. (8 years ago)

SharkeyH @ #8733: Really nice one. I went out with a Finnish girl once and she really didn't like being called Scandinavian though. (8 years ago)

CaptCaveman @ #8733: Ooo, that's a tough puzzle ! (8 years ago)

CaptCaveman @ #8732: Theres a place near me does brilliant Brazilian pizzas. Which is where I got stuck with this grid. Tricky one. (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8732: Badge. Lots of people round my way call it Italian pizza. It differentiates it from Turkish pizzas and German pizzas. (8 years ago)

Badger @ #8714: What is 'a god of the Bible'? (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8732: I'm with you Badger! (8 years ago)

Badger @ #8727: Ok but wouldn't accept _ Tree? (8 years ago)

Badger @ #8732: 'People'? 'Words'? - any nationality can be applied to these. Italian Pizza? Pizza maybe an Italian dish but no one calls it 'Italian Pizza'. Waste of three minutes (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8732: I hadn't heard of Belgian Congo, but now I know. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8732: I am not sure it is. (8 years ago)

Fuzzy brain @ #8726: It's easy...that's for sure! (8 years ago)

Albini @ #8726: Never met a girl called Indie. India yes, but not Indie. (8 years ago)

Albini @ #8732: Straightforward. (8 years ago)

Albini @ #8728: Straightforward (8 years ago)

Albini @ #8731: Straightforward (8 years ago)

Albini @ #8725: A bit easy, Mixu P. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8703: ChocFing, I have almost forgiven you for Dame Kelly naughtiness. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #1800: Whew!got nowhere fast. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8703: Right on, Wiz ! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8732: Something bothers me here,can't quite put my finger on it.. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8714: We all have!:) (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8703: Janine,think outside the box, it's fun! (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8714: YES! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR A GRID WITH KPOP RELATED STUFF FOR A LONG TIME (8 years ago)

Albini @ #8703: Good grid. I like how many of the answers could also fall into other categories. And yes Janine, a coconut is a mammal. (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8703: Actually Janine, spaghetti grows on trees (see old BBC documentary about it), so must be plant. Buzz is dead right about the coconut producing milk, so its a mammal. Admittedly the Theresa May one was a guess, but I couldn't think of any other reptiles. (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8729: Clean grid :) (8 years ago)

Janine @ #3146: Very easy. (8 years ago)

Baz @ #8729: A pleasant solve (8 years ago)

Janine @ #8702: Impossible! (8 years ago)

Janine @ #8703: Crazy! Coconut not a mammal, Theresa May not a reptile and spaghetti not a plant. So I disagree! (8 years ago)

Janine @ #8705: Rare 10/10 for me. Some clever red herrings eg May and Thatcher making me look for PM's. (8 years ago)

Janine @ #8713: Very difficult. (8 years ago)

Janine @ #8720: Very easy! (8 years ago)

Janine @ #8726: Never finished a grid so quickly! (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8710: A solid beginner's grid. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8707: Amazingly finished it, but only because of the previous grid. I would have thought "beer" was adequate. Another tough one (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8706: I just couldn't picture the Photoshop answer. Pretty tough grid for me. Good though. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8704: Lovely quick grid. Thank you (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8713: I liked the grid, but the song category is pretty vague. (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8722: Nice grid! (8 years ago)

meme123 @ #8726: I LOVE this one it is really good. (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #5795: Good grid. Can't I have 'homes' for the castle etc? (8 years ago)

meme123 @ #8713: this one is quite hard (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #152: Took me ages to work out the S connection. I don't think VCM would have allowed me to take so long! (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #8403: Enjoyed this one. (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #3: Never come across polar solvent before but now I've learnt something! (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #4736: Quite straightforward but fun. I liked Slough & Reading (8 years ago)

Jeb @ #8355: Decent (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #184: Great grid (8 years ago)

Jeb @ #8713: Excellent grid. Lots of trial and error to get there...! (8 years ago)

Jeb @ #8720: Good try, but needs to be more diverse. (8 years ago)

Jeb @ #8721: Sorry, not a very interesting grid. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8722: Got all the groups really quickly, but didn't get the Sherlock connection. Nice grid though. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8722: Somehow I got the rows but couldn't explain one of them, which is not unusual for me (or Tom Jones) I thought "cloth" was correct so I gave myself an extra point. I now have 4837. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8721: eh? Nice grouping. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8720: Colourful (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8718: I bet its fun to compile (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8716: Good attempt but is didn't seem to scan correctly for me at the end. The groups are identifiable but... (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8713: Managed a couple of rows. Both Peter Whittingham and Ivor Novello have a Cardiff connection. Nice grid. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8712: Good effort. Lots of names confused me sideways. (8 years ago)

Seb @ #8718: Don't like it. Its just silly. (8 years ago)

Seb @ #8703: Theresa May, but Brian Cant. (8 years ago)

Jeb @ #8703: This is ridiculous!!! :-/ A kiwi is a fruit, and as such, should be in the plants category. Come on Terry, get your facts right! (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8718: Easy once the light clicked on! (8 years ago)

Maria @ #8713: Very challenging grid. I liked the Duran Duran one. (8 years ago)

EJ @ #7549: If using synonyms as the group, your answer should accept other synonyms... (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8714: Good mixture and herrings. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8715: Very clever... Didn't give me plants but made me smile. (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8701: Great grid, nice balance, those rivers went on forever! (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8708: I like it, but way too easy. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8705: Fairly easy, but good grid. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8715: Utter nonsense. (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8711: Good gridding. Thumbs up. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8704: It's Wapping I believe, which rather confused. Otherwise a very nice one! Good work on the crossovers. (8 years ago)

Rubberlisa @ #5034: I got all the groups but was a bit disappointed that 'cricket' and 'England footballers' were not enough to get correct. Be reasonable. Enjoyed it though, thanks. (8 years ago)

Rubberlisa @ #3286: Enjoyed this grid very much, thank you! Kicking myself for not getting the 'hunt' ones, but got the rest. I put in 'Tory MPs' for the last category as a guess and got correct, but real answer much better! (8 years ago)

Rubberlisa @ #8701: Lovely grid - nicely varied and no obscure sportsmen. I got it all in the time which is rare and always enjoyable! I liked the red herrings. Mrs. D - 'rivers' worked for me? (8 years ago)

n @ #8597: Need to correct spelling on parallel and pommel ... good apart from that (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8702: No red herrings! Would be a great concept with a few hazards added! (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8705: Good quality grid. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8703: One of your easier ones Terry although I think that Pterodactyl played in midfield. (8 years ago)

Mondogrid @ #8705: Lovely gettable wall. Well judged red herrings (8 years ago)

Mrs despard @ #8700: Good grid nice and straightforward (8 years ago)

Mrs despard @ #8700: (8 years ago)

Mrs despard @ #8701: Nice grid but tough that river was not acceptable (8 years ago)

Catherine @ #8701: Good red herrings, fairly easy. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8702: Liked this! Thanks! (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8703: And the milk! Don't forget the milk... (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8703: Coconuts have hair, and are therefore mammals. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8703: Can't you? Sadly, I can! (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8703: Not sure how Theresa May fits the reptile category or Coconut the Mammal category.... (8 years ago)

EJ @ #8597: Good, but didn't accept Bar instead of Bars, which seems a little odd. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8703: Indeed. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8703: Indeed. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8691: It was okay. (8 years ago)

Franklin @ #7176: also marked incorrect for typing "doves". (8 years ago)

Franklin @ #7180: (8 years ago)

Franklin @ #7062: great red herrings (8 years ago)

toast @ #8693: Only found this grid via Anna's comment. I don't understand either why the grid is not there or the comment. But I got the grid right so that's a plus. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8681: Did it again and still got half of it wrong. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8684: Nice grid (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8683: Dispose, Rubberlisa, according to my worn out old dictionary can be used as a verb to "make fit" or "prepared"... surprised me too. Tinker Tailor and all that stuff... Yes it was intentional. Thanks for the comments. Toast, I knew I could get you into a grid somewhere, feel proud, stick some extra butter on. (8 years ago)

Scoobydont @ #8400: Really good multiple categories, especially Ford models (8 years ago)

Anon @ #6752: None of my answers were accepted as correct despite putting rat, high and lyricists (8 years ago)

mluki @ #8679: Nice work. Enjoyed it (8 years ago)

Ben @ #8390: Lots of wordplay, super difficult. Feels like you always want a couple of handholds in there or things that can be taken from a couple of angles. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8687: Good grid. (8 years ago)

Mrs despard @ #8685: Clever grid. (8 years ago)

Mrs despard @ #8684: Fun grid beat me though (8 years ago)

toast @ #8683: My mother always dreamed of me becoming a crouton, but I never rose above being stale bread. Another good one. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #3787: Good grid, thanks! (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8663: Great grid. Kicking myself for not getting them all! Nice red herrings too. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8662: Very good. I only got two rows. Maybe too much that three of the words with an S were also trees? Not sure if that is fair! Thanks, enjoyed feeling stupid. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8658: Really enjoyed this one. I did it, so that always makes me feel clever, but it felt in the right style for a grid. Thanks. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8683: Excellent grid. I failed horribly except for the food related answer... Can't think why... Does Dispose mean alter or modify? I wondered if the red herring was too obvious to even be a group, knowing your previous grids. Very good. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8668: You took us for a nice long ride,ChocFing!ì (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8681: Harder than a very hard thing. Good effort thanks (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8658: Neat fine grid. (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8662: Good work Lindyloo (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8663: Good Gris Lindyloo (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8674: I got the row for the Cantons but it did not allow Canton which foxed me. I have no idea what flex seal is. Hard grid but I enjoyed it. (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8678: Fine grid (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8681: Tough grid but thank you. (8 years ago)

pomomofo @ #8681: I like! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8678: Good stuff. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8677: A rare ten points. Thanks. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8668: I got stuck in thinking Richard III, General MacArthur and Sherlock Holmes all returned famously. If intended as a red herring it was brilliant. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8678: Nice again. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8677: most excellent Mixu P. game set and match to you. Thank you. (Should it be "pencils" rather than "pencil"... Then again I think you are right.) Enjoyed it. (8 years ago)

Uriah @ #8678: Enjoyed this one. Well put together. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8668: Khloe? (8 years ago)

Uriah @ #8677: Clever grid. Had me stumped. (8 years ago)

Uriah @ #8675: Solved It after 17 seconds!!! (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8676: Terry would love this grid. :-) (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8671: Just checked with my mate Daz, and all my answers are correct. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8668: Keith? Kenny? Keira? Karen? Keyla? Put me out my misery.... (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8669: Meg & Mog (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8676: Apologies Wiz. That should be Castleford Tigers. (8 years ago)

Stuart @ #8577: Got correct answers for the links even though two of my answers were incomplete and one was completely different to the actual answers! (8 years ago)

martyn @ #8671: these answers are incorrect. Celtic have play in green and white, not black and white. the town of Ipswich only has 1 football team (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8671: Of course (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8671: I think you might be confusing him with Monet... or Manet.... I can never be sure. (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8671: I thought it was because he suffered from vertigo, (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #8676: Tough one. Thanks (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8676: Check the tigers? I may be wrong but?.. (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #8355: Gem Blues. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8671: Terry, One point. I think Emile Zola was a trained astronaut but didn't make the Apollo missions due to passport issues. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8671: Terry, once again a terrific grid that nearly had me stumped. I did get confused because I thought Preston North End was a south coast team but then I realised my map was upside down. Just turned it 180 degrees and it solved the puzzle. Good stuff. Thanks. (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8671: Sorry Terry but the complaints below are right. Celtic play in Green and White hoops Preston is in Lancashire (North West) Blackburn "Rovers" (not Rangers) I am sure there is another team in Ipswich (other than Ipswich Town)but only if we are counting county league or park football Concept was good but you need to check your information before you publish a grid. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8668: Five letters ChocFing! (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8673: Nonsense. (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8668: Kenneth? Surely that's a boys name. (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8671: Duh...Ipswich City. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8668: Good gridding! (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8673: Impossible. Enough said. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8639: You need GSOH for this! Fun.. (8 years ago)

Ha! @ #7374: Uniquely bad (8 years ago)

pomomofo @ #8639: Oh Terry, I think you are making the fun (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8672: Very neat grid!thankyou.. (8 years ago)

LB @ #7312: Fun grid. (8 years ago)

LB @ #8669: Trains (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8638: Ahh so very good (8 years ago)

Peachy @ #8668: Cruise,not Cruz (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8668: Dame Ke... Holmes!! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8640: Teasing again,toast? (8 years ago)

toast @ #8603: You can swap FAN and RAM so there is not a unique solution. You also need to provide proper explanations. Good luck! (8 years ago)

me @ #8603: git rekt (8 years ago)

toast @ #8660: Just tried this ( a bit late) and liked it. I think people may be put off trying because of all the names making it look more difficult than it is. (8 years ago)

matt @ #8671: what's the other team from ipswich (8 years ago)

toast @ #8645: Scouser, looks like you're treading on Terry's toes. Probably best to stick to things that exist. (8 years ago)

Seventh son @ #8668: Sweet grid. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8659: Good one, liked the ice line. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8640: Wiz re are Blues and myself teas ( watch your spell check by the way). As toast I knock about with a lot of teas and I reckon if Blues was one it would contain a large slug of whisky. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8668: Keep trying ChocFing! The dame is as in equivalent to knight by the way... (8 years ago)

toast @ #8671: And all credit to Terry for his dogged support of Blackburn Rangers. Keep at it friend, one day the team will surely turn up. (8 years ago)

CurlyFries @ #8671: Gr8 puzz. Got it with 2 seconds to spare. Phew! (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8645: Squirrels? (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8668: Wait, is it the boxer Keith Holmes? If you called him a "dame" he'd probably knock you out! (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8668: Katie Holmes?? Tom Cruz's wife? I know she's an accomplished squash player, but "sporting dame"? Really?? (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8671: No mistakes here mate. I watched some film footage of Celtic from, like, 1920 or something, and it was definitely in black & white. Also, I went on a road trip to the north-east and ended up in Preston, so that's right too. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8658: Good grid. (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8671: Celtic certainly don't play in Black and white (its green and white hoops) and Preston North End are firmly not in the North East of England. Makes the grid impossible when there a few huge mistakes (8 years ago)

toast @ #8656: Good grid. Liked the band line but no chance with the toiletries. Perhaps there's something for me to think about there. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8650: Nice quick fun grid. Thanks. (8 years ago)

Ed @ #8671: Celtic play in green and white, not black (8 years ago)

toast @ #8671: Decent ideas but several factual errors. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8660: I don't think you can alter the grid after submission. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8668: Not sherlock, think again? Starts with K.. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8671: Preston? Not right for that line...location? (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8668: In what way is Sherlock Holmes a "sporting dame"??? (8 years ago)

ChocFing @ #8651: Those old sitcoms got me!! Good puzzle tho. (8 years ago)

Deano @ #8666: Clever. :-) (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8669: Breaking bad anti? Hero (8 years ago)

Suzi @ #8664: Fiendish! (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8669: Solved it really quickly, but who's Walter White? (8 years ago)

Robert Langdon @ #8669: This is a tricky puzzle! (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8663: Another great grid. Very enjoyable. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8662: Excellent grid. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8644: Didn't realise a snowflake was an animal. Cluedo, not accepted as an answer. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8647: Countries described as "former" should therefore not exist, which of course they do! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8659: Yes, rote, repetition of something learned. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8652: Too easy. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8659: Is there another word that is pronounced "wrote"? (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8656: Good one Stevo. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8653: Got the rows fairly quickly but my reasoning was different! Nice one. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8661: Fine effort. Three of the rows were good the fourth left me clueless. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8662: Oooo, now that was a fiendish grid. I should have got the tits. Well done lindyloo (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8656: The smelly answer caused my head to implode. Nice one. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8657: Dreadful. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8657: Its like I have never watched the telly. It did for me. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8654: Two rows out of four is a result for me. Tough grid. Thanks. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8658: Fairly easy, but enjoyable grid nonetheless. (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8661: Didn't get the Zac group, and don't know who the Goldsmith family are. However, I did like the grid. Good try, Elou. (8 years ago)

Equinox01 @ #8639: Tarzan isn't actually fictional, but otherwise a well put together grid. Good work. (8 years ago)

Terry @ #8639: Tarzan is so an animal ! He lives in the jungle. I thought the moon mission group would be the easiest one to get. But maybe not. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8657: But a bit of a muddle? Or is that just me? (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8651: I loved it, excellent effort. (8 years ago)

Bowie @ #8640: Fooled by the oceans but squeezed it out in the end. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8660: Can you tell me how to add further categories now that I have posted it. I don't know how to do it. (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8657: Very easy? Like heck it is... 😔 (8 years ago)

toast @ #8651: Shows promise but too hard.. (8 years ago)

Howard @ #8660: Please add Old Testament names to acceptable answers for Ruth.... etc. Good grid (8 years ago)

Letty @ #8653: (8 years ago)

Letty @ #8653: Great grid (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8661: The name game oops I have managed to post the same thing twice. New to this - sorry😶 (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8660: The name game.... My first attempt at a grid - so sorry if it's not very good. (8 years ago)

tronkil @ #8656: that was fun! (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #371: Oh god you put such dirty things into my mind you sneaky bastard (8 years ago)

toast @ #8647: Scouser. I liked the single borders but while I enjoyed being in Denmark you can't use it twice in the same grid as the answer must be unique. (8 years ago)

MS @ #8639: Tarzan is not an animal and how is anyone supposed to get the Apollo moon missions group?! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8643: You got me with the symphonies. Good to see that Liverpool's City of Culture legacy is going strong. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8640: Blues and toast are teases? (8 years ago)

toast @ #8640: Yes Mixu P. We didn't waste any of the Christmas goose in our day. Better than all that scratching with flints the traditionalists insisted on. (8 years ago)

Suzi @ #8651: Nice grid. x (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8650: Good grid. (8 years ago)

Suzi @ #8639: Ace grid ! (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8648: Too tricky for me..... (8 years ago)

Mixu P @ #8640: Good grid. Didn't get the tricky circle-related group. Blues - quills? really? (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8645: Babylon? (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8647: Not so keen on this one. And whats with the CAPS? (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #8639: My only gripe is the King Kong rhyming slang. Pong is far more commonly rhymed with 'Gospel Song' rather than 'King Kong'. Otherwise, a good grid. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8638: You will be under-employed Patch! That's for sure,,. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8638: Patch. You are hired! From now on any complaints about my grids will be redirected to you. Hope you have plenty of spare time! (8 years ago)

Patch @ #8638: I didn't get the blanks connection, but when it was revealed I thought the dot in the square must be a "point", alluding to the expression "point blank". (8 years ago)

Peachy @ #8645: Snowflakes? (8 years ago)

Suze @ #4149: Piss easy (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8644: Not knife,dagger! But fun.. (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8637: Ooh you sneaky devil with the Friends red herring (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8640: School... Ahhh those were the days! Free milk, quills, assembly, football with tin cans, slide rules, rugby wearing someone else's boots, the cane, protractors, art, Summer hols and detention... Thanks (8 years ago)

Janine @ #3685: I would have got 10/10 but stations was not accepted and it asked for train stations. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8640: Can't understand why you wouldn't accept "stuff I learned at school but then forgot" for the hidden words. You surely don't doubt it. That knocked three off my score so now we are three all. Lovely grid. May St Martin brighten your autumn. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8638: Blues, I intended to leave it completely blank but rather like Nature grids abhor a vacuum so the dot had to go in. I didn't doubt you would rise to the additional challenge. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8638: toast I'm sure there is a dot in the blank square... But it did not stop me from getting 3 out of 10 !! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8587: Thanks! I tried via the link in About and went through screens apparently trying to set me up to send emails and I gave up. Then I left the site and tried sending an email first to info then to your own email address but when I pressed send I was told host could not be found. My PC was however behaving strangely on other email and v slow so that might be the problem.Sending this from a tablet. (8 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #8587: It was set to not appear, fixed. What happened with the email please in case I need to fix something? (8 years ago)

toast @ #8587: Puzzgrid. I submitted another grid today given the number 8638. I intended it to go on the main page but it has not appeared. Attempts to send an e-mail to info have failed. Hope you can sort out what happened to the grid. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8639: Excellent work Terry. What a shame Emile Zola, who was shortlisted for the first two Nobel prizes for literature at the start of the 1900's didn't make any of the missions, he would have made a very fine astronaut as would his great grandson Gianfranco Zola (OBE OMRI) the renowned diminutive Italian footballer... The Tarzan clue did for me, although in hindsight your definition is correct. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8637: Enjoyed it. Did not accept jobs, but still very good. (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8639: a group of 4 that didn't go on any of the Apollo missions is a terrible category!! that category could literally have been anyone or thing (8 years ago)

MixuP @ #8617: Red? Just red?? Also, 'Jamie' made me think of Jamie Oliver, which in turn made me feel sick. Poor grid. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8637: Nice! Stumped me apart from the Santas (8 years ago)

Badger @ #8620: Good, but agree with DD on GoT. Just a small thing, why the lower case 't' in Rough Trade? Found that annoying (8 years ago)

MixuP @ #8632: Didn't get the Paralympics connection, but otherwise a good grid. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8624: Not a phase I hope! Top notch gridder! (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #5680: Loved this grid. Felt like a classic format with lovely cross-overs. Thanks! (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8587: Enjoyed this but found it pretty much impossible. I got the numbers and abba and stones but getting the hidden food is very tough with all the other red herrings floating in the goat's head soup! Thanks. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8630: Clever and well explained. (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8601: Really good, really difficult (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8632: Good gridding! (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8630: Another very good grid. Well Done. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8621: DirkDiggler you are absolutely on the money. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8422: Tough grid. Never good on sport, let alone cricket and darts. Got the runners for the wrong reason. Also all seem to be UK authors? Thanks. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8630: Alex/Alexa - Excellent polo shirts and similar. A bit like Lacoste, but more recent. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8629: Good variety. Well done. (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8600: I really liked the "rings" line - good lateral thinking (8 years ago)

Jupes @ #8629: Good but bit easy (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8624: Thanks for kind feedback. Bit addicted... It'll be a phase... (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #6420: Cool (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8627: I am duly chastened, toast! (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8630: Don't know what the penguin clothing brand is, but I'll take your word for it. Good grid though. x (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8609: Decent hard grid, but you're pushing it a bit there with the Welsh Rabbit / Rarebit. (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8620: I do not care for Game of Thrones one little bit. Otherwise, a good grid. Got the record labels & fawlty towers one straight away. Figured there was a 'red' connection, but the bear/wolf/lion/rose one was lost on me. (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8624: Good grid. Wee bit easy, but well thought through. (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8625: Didn't get any. I just don't understand this. (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8614: Liked this one a lot. Best one today. (8 years ago)

DonJon @ #8628: I don't understand the monkey connection (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #6511: Yeah, was okay I suppose. (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8596: Not bad, though a bit too easy. (8 years ago)

Alex / Alexa @ #8621: Silly (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8621: Well done, good grid! (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8624: Excellent grid Stevo. You are making it a habit to design high quality grids!! Thank you (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8627: My head now hurts but that is a good thing....I think???? (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8573: Great grid. Didn't get the hidden word ones and kicking my self for it! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8627: Flummoxed indeed,without the memory of seeing BB either! But the grid was indeed a good one! (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8627: Good grid although it flummoxed me. I saw BB once. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8624: Splendid effort Steveo ticked all the boxes for me. (8 years ago)

SharkeyH @ #8614: Thanks for the feedback all. I suppose the group Maxsgdad mentioned could be defined more simply as US states once Hawaii is eliminated. Glad to hear there's a red herring in there. It wasn't intentional I'm afraid. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8626: I've made a hash of that, sorry. Wasn't supposed to have goodbye in that line. Shouldn't try to do two things at once! :/ (8 years ago)

julie @ #87: ok (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8621: Excellent! Thanks (8 years ago)

Buzz @ #7031: Anon,think again,very easy anagrams. (8 years ago)

Anon @ #7031: What is large and report an anagram of? I got stout and Pilsner.. I put grassy areas and it didn't count as a connection (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8621: Toast, methinks you were under the influence... Dogs do not wear jackets, I think that you are confusing them with potatoes. Robbo I marked it as "easy" to start but I am half way through the fourth bottle of Croatian white wine. (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8614: Ist row connected by simply being US states? (8 years ago)

Maxsgdad @ #8618: (8 years ago)

Robbo @ #8621: You were not joking when you classed this as fiendish. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #6047: Had to look up Glbson. Turns out there was a Gibson that fit the category. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #6192: The state abbreviations connection is ridiculously difficult. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #6219: Hard for an American too. Doubt most have heard of Franklin or Madison mountain ranges. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #6436: What is the Liberty of Congress and what does it have to do with 13? (8 years ago)

toast @ #8227: Elou , Doctor Black was the murder victim in the UK version of Cluedo. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8227: I am not aware of Black being a cluedo character - not in the UK version of the game, anyway. Oh well. I enjoyed the other groups (8 years ago)

toast @ #8621: Brilliant but unless Ii have a false fond memory of walking home without a bus fare after the number five ( dog not bus. - that went nowhere near where I lived) was beaten on the line , it had an orange jacket and the four wore black in mourning for my stake money. Loved the grid anyway, keep it up. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8254: Really good grid. Thanks. Some good red herrings. I wasted a lot of time looking for a "types of horse" group - sea, cart, dark etc. Devious! (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #6621: Enjoyed that. (Cleudo a bit tricky) (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #6498: Some of the accents don't appear properly on my screen. Regardless, an excellent puzzle. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #7971: Great grid. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #6630: Brilliant! (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8618: Classy. Loved the twisted eye too. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8614: Good grid, shame I suck at geography though lol. The _only_ connection I thought I found was South Pacific but... it was wrong? Oh the humanity!!! (8 years ago)

Mrsdespard @ #8596: Enjoyed this. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8616: A thousand thanks, o wonderful ineffable Wiz! And please accept my further apology for putting you to the trouble of forgiving me. I live to serve. I will make more puzz grids to give to you. And they will be good puzz grids, with normal categories that you sort-of-know enough about not to have to rely on too much luck to feel a little frisson of self-satisfaction at having been clever enough to have solved them. Yes... that is my mission now. My one and only mission.... (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8616: Experimental? I forgive you, Jon,you have given us good grids. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8617: Don't want to give spoilers, but I found the connections are a little too vague. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8616: Enjoy #8616 as an unapologetic Yoko track to to the Beatles' dicography of puzz grid, but if not then I implore, at least call it a test that failed and one I apologise for. --> Sorry. (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8608: Thanks for the feedback, toast. I'll keep that in mind for future puzzles. (8 years ago)

head @ #8333: the mash answer doesn't scan... would be ok otherwise (8 years ago)

WoodyT @ #8588: Good one (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8614: Oh man you got me good going down the Survivor locations red herring group (8 years ago)

Peachy @ #8616: Oh dear! (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #8608: Very tough. (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #226: You spelt assassins wrong! Shame on you😞 (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8615: It seems quotation marks don't agree with puzz grid... try #8616 instead please! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8614: Very interesting grid. Glad to see you back. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8612: Any grid with fruit and nut chocolate is all right with me. (8 years ago)

Ruffles @ #8497: Not happy about the marking. I typed currencies for the first and got incorrect. The answer given was types of currency. Same thing surely? (8 years ago)

Ruffles @ #8596: First one I've done. It was easier than I thought it would be. (8 years ago)

Mia @ #8612: I really think you should play this one it is really good. (8 years ago)

Woolfie @ #3172: How can a roll be a type of sandwich??? (8 years ago)

Anon @ #7078: Ridiculous (8 years ago)

Paul @ #8610: Come on! (8 years ago)

Alick @ #8577: I'm rubbish (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8609: Sorry toast, I was a bit naughty coz 3 of 'em are Australian ice-creams, but I couldn't resist... it's hard to have a Gaytime on your own. :P (8 years ago)

MGTSMUSE @ #8588: Genius! Love the group with 'Bone' in it, that's class. I will now select the deer.. Oh deer haha (8 years ago)

toast @ #8609: I was relieved the answer to the fruitcake group didn't involve UKIP but I need to do a lot more research on ice cream. Fun grid. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8608: Good but from a UK point of view in particular fuller explanations would be a good idea. And not just for Brits. For instance I knew Monty Hall because I have heard of the conundrum named after his ( US ?) game show but I doubt he is a household name even over there. Best of luck with compiling and pleasing everyone ! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8343: Lucy B. The presenters were not not a cryptic line , just hidden words. But to make it more interesting instead of just using random phrases I decided to give them a link to the presenters. So for instance hamMER TONgue refers to Paul Merton's quick come-backs. You didn't need to spot that for the point. Thanks and hope that helps explain. (8 years ago)

toast @ #8363: Lucy B. You surprise me a bit. The Cook a small bird clue was meant to be a reasonably straight-forward pointer because I thought that e.g. Early Hoodie in the same group was a bit too cryptic but you seem to have got the latter more easily. Well done for that. The fully cryptic line was deliberately tough and I intended this grid to be unusual. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8600: That will be the last line that slides into place for a lot of folk, Jon? Good grid though,. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8600: Nice one... Until I got to the College football games :-) (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #206: Funny, I put in kit and got it right... Dunno why you lot got it wrong lol (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8601: I was so concerned about the other grains I didn't think to confirm hay. Sorry! (8 years ago)

pomomofo @ #8597: I like horses, and I liked this grid (8 years ago)

pomomofo @ #8601: hey, that's not a grain! I love you though. (8 years ago)

Lucy B @ #8343: eh?? I am so confused by the presenter category - if they are supposed to be cryptic fine but I dont even understand the explanations... (8 years ago)

Lucy B @ #8363: The best served cold category was good. I nearly got the robin connections but did not click that cook a small bird would be robin cook, not sure about that clue really.. doesn't really work with the others. Got nowhere with the fully cryptic category (8 years ago)

Lucy B @ #8366: pool? sunglasses?? should be beach or seaside the four letters spelling cold is the oddest category ever! (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8601: Impossible! Nice solutions tough. Thanks (8 years ago)

toast @ #8601: I liked this one. (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #8595: I enjoyed it good herrings. (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #8593: O O O Blues, very funny and a bit off the wall. Like it. (8 years ago)

Cassandra @ #8607: Not bad for a first attempt. (8 years ago)

frankie @ #8607: so good (8 years ago)

MGTSMUSE @ #12: Easy enough, good one to start on! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8593: Sorry,spelt you wrongly! DirkDiggler... (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8593: Dirk digger... It's a theme but not one answer I think. (8 years ago)

Paul @ #8594: Nice Clockwork Orange red herring (8 years ago)

AndyAkeko @ #8597: Nice one. (8 years ago)

Vivian Downing @ #2621: Would not allow "misspelt" for the first group. (8 years ago)

Darren @ #8585: Not bad apart from the air link, (8 years ago)

Darren @ #8597: Good (8 years ago)

Darren @ #4651: Not bad (8 years ago)

Darren @ #98: Good (8 years ago)

Darren @ #2661: Good (8 years ago)

Elou @ #5651: Thanks for the grid I don't think of turquoise as a shade of green - it's more blue! Maybe it's my eyes! (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8313: Tough one - so many fasteners! (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8596: Nice grid. Did it know the bands. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8596: Nice grid. Did it know the bands. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8593: Steveo Rubba... That's the intention, thank you. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8523: Very good (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8593: Fun! (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8596: Great grid and having two band related connections makes you think. Loved the grid!! (8 years ago)

Hubby @ #8597: It was a decent grid, thanks. I put in gymnastics apparatus and it classed it as wrong so connections might need refining. (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8593: Hilarious! Got no where, then when they sorted it was obvious. Very very cheeky and great fun. Thanks. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8597: I mean thanks! Bad typing! (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8597: Fun grid. Thanjs (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8593: I'll keep it mind DirkDiggler but it's always best to expect the unexpected. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8594: Stone me I couldn't see pass the end of my bong. (8 years ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8585: Air group was very niche and thought large should be accepted for size clues. (8 years ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8593: not sure I like a whole grid based on one answer. (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8593: Toast, I think the darts in this pub have been left by an elite athlete. Did yours have red plastic flights, one of which has been chewed with a fatter barrel than the other two? Jon, Besty, Big Phil and Wiz I think you need to play more darts but the effort is appreciated anyway... Thank s. (8 years ago)

Neil @ #8497: I put money and it didn't accept either (8 years ago)

toast @ #8594: You sent me the wrong way with Phiz ( the illustrator for Dickens) and Gulliver so I was brought down by literary pretensions I didn't know I had , and an embarrassingly out-dated grasp of drugs slang. Must go now, I have to get out more. (8 years ago)

Neil @ #8596: Not sure on the two links being both band related, only ever heard of Duran Duran (8 years ago)

toast @ #8593: Amazingly I got this, but then I used to be an active sportsman until I left my best darts in some pub. Good imaginative afternoon grid for those still able to think laterally before assuming a horizontal position. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8590: Origin of Boxing Day, Jon. Box means gift to employees or servants! (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8590: Never heard of a Christmas Box, but enjoyable grid nonetheless. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8593: Well done. Couldn't solve it even after two attempts, but felt as though I should have once I saw the answer. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8593: Unusual grid. Very enjoyable; we "O" you credit. (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8593: very difficult. I like the idea but it is very tough (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8593: Indeed! But sadly ,Blues,I didn't! Good one! (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8587: Mamma Mia. Good music, good food and Abba. What more could you need? (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8586: It beat me and it rhymed ! Good effort. Thank you. (8 years ago)

Ben @ #98: Should accept solfege for the red group! Very good otherwise. (8 years ago)

Janine @ #4363: For the fourth group singers was accepted and they are economists! (8 years ago)

Elou @ #6111: Nice easy one (8 years ago)

Elou @ #1942: Really enjoyable grid. Some excellent red herrings. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #2297: Thanks for a nice satisfying grid. I was pleased to solve it (8 years ago)

Elou @ #98: Ray me la so etc is called "tonic sol fa" Nice grid though, very pleased to have solved it (8 years ago)

Elou @ #1708: Enjoyable grid. Thanks (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8379: Nice easy grid but some good groups. Thanks (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8400: Nice grid -thanks (8 years ago)

Alex @ #8576: Enjoyable and astute (8 years ago)

Alex @ #8578: Really inventive clever stuff (8 years ago)

Rob @ #1708: Definitely hard (8 years ago)

Rob @ #2661: Ok (8 years ago)

Rob @ #98: Good (8 years ago)

Rob @ #98: (8 years ago)

toast @ #8567: Got the idea too late. Very good and interesting to have an unusual challenge. Even though it beat me it was a fair cop. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8395: Really enjoyed this grid. Thank you (8 years ago)

toast @ #8556: Ray, I am tempted to make them take their holidays in Blackpool but I suppose they are more to be pitied than punished. Nicely themed grid Wisty. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8424: Thank - enjoyable grid. (8 years ago)

Bunyar @ #8587: Very Clever. Must have been a lot of fun to construct (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8416: Nice grid. Thanks.i l was pleased to spot the group with hidden numbers. Annoyed I didn't spot the Spielberg films though! (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8436: Fiendish! (8 years ago)

HoneyMonster @ #8568: What about us bees (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8567: Loved it! Almost gave up thinking it was probably a load of near-impossible (in 3 minutes) anagrams, but then I saw the 'war' group... really good! (8 years ago)

elou @ #8457: really tricky and didn't solve it but I enjoyed it (8 years ago)

elou @ #8518: I enjoyed this grid - thanks for posting. I have never heard of a charcoal biscuit! (8 years ago)

elou @ #8502: nice grid - thanks (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8554: Thank you. A really good grid. (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8551: This one was Impossible for me! Probably easied for US residents I suspect? I don't understand some of them even though I know the answers (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8548: Thank you - I enjoyed this one. Nice crossovers and I was really pleased to solve it (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8539: Enjoyed this grid - thanks (8 years ago)

Elou @ #8523: I really liked this one even though I couldn't do it! I have never heard of a fish ladder. (8 years ago)

Besty @ #8588: Straightforward, but good fun. (8 years ago)

Richard @ #98: good grid (8 years ago)

Richard @ #8588: Great Grid (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8567: Whoa pomomofo. Liked it. Very clever, me not so much. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8560: Good one. Oliver Stone is very imaginative with his movie titles isn't he. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8559: Good one (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8557: Good one. R.E.M flummoxed me (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8556: really tough even when I knew the theme... like i didn't get a single group after 2 attempts tough lol (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8558: oh yeah... except the dog/watch thing got me too. btw, Catwoman has far more mystique than Dogwoman, doesn't she. ;-) (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8558: Top notch (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8576: liked this one. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8587: RE: at least the mote and beam business is flourishing. Yeah that didn't totally escape me when I wrote you, but i've seen the light and now I'm saved, ok? :-) (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8586: Well thanks indeed. Very kind of you... more later then :-) (8 years ago)

toast @ #8587: Jon, thanks for thee feedback. Looking at both our grids and our comments the clearest thing of all is that at least the mote and beam business is flourishing. Three minutes? More than enough! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8586: I've enjoyed trying all your grids. Very clever and nicely structured. You have succeeded in making them a bit less than impossible ( even the first one didn't come across as pretentious at all by the way ). The points are hard fought for but valued. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8587: Really fun finding the Abba rhymes (on fire!) & remembering/recognising Stones albums (head-scratcher), but I felt the hidden foods were unfair ... too short and ordinary to notice in long fodder that already seems to have a Stones' theme of its own, goes across 2 lines and contains multiple red herrings lol! Do another one please! make it a bit easier though lol (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8587: I loved this, appropriately mind- expanding! (8 years ago)

Waspymcwaspface @ #8568: Finally a grid for wasp fans. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8583: Maybe we were being too literal. Prof plum is there alright!.!please do more grids, they are good. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8583: Professor Plum? Oh, he's not in every edition? Ok, sorry. 3rd time's the charm.., I'm confident #3 will deliver if you give it a chance, or I'll have to reconsider my new-found career before it even got going lol. (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8583: Yes ... That is silly .. (8 years ago)

Ragman @ #8583: 'A plum' doesn't appear in Cluedo..... (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8583: Fun, but hard! (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8583: Wish you could edit these. :-S That was meant to be easier than #1, but I think I over-obfuscated lol. (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #121: Back pressure? Also types of power seems to actually be well defined considering I recognised it almost immediately - maybe better wording was required but still its something people can get (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #4417: Haha thanks RubberLisa for the hint 😝 The James one almost got me though so.. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8581: I hear you Big Phil. Thanks, try the next one... (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #1396: (8 years ago)

Ray Davies @ #8556: You've never heard of the Kinks?????????? (8 years ago)

Mogster @ #8573: Blues brilliance and nutty (8 years ago)

Vod @ #8553: Vod (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8573: Really good! Very original (8 years ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #4417: Fabulous grid. Didn't get the bands but loved it. Many thanks for taking the time to create it! (8 years ago)

RowG @ #8578: Didn't accept moon as answer :-( (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8579: I like the grid but I only typed in "im" for the prefixed letters group and it wouldn't accept... think that needs slightly amended, but barring that it was a good grid, thank you (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8576: I like this grid. All the groups were achievable and the group with coat is very good. Yes they are all a bit wordy but that's ok, nothings perfect. Enjoyed the grid and at about the right level. Most people will get plenty points here. (8 years ago)

Big Phil @ #8581: Far too hard IMO, good luck to anyone trying to complete this (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8582: Dunno how I missed Strangelove/Clouseau!! Grr (And "Victoria"?? LOL) (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #8581: Nice one ,Jon,Thankyou! (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #6111: Ah, thanks Jon,that could be it. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8579: Nice! (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8581: D'oh! Missed a trick. Shoulda put: Rog ("Katie"), Iggy ("Em") tee hee. (8 years ago)

Jon @ #6111: I don't know if this makes any difference or even matters (well, I do know the last one), but fwiw... You're asking why this is in a list of "funny/funniest" games, when the list was advertised as the "fun/funnest" games, which isn't necessarily the same thing. I guess "fun" in this context means a breeze to solve, whereas a real brain-strainer could be said to be more like hard work than "fun". (8 years ago)

Wiz @ #6111: Don't get the funny thing at all!:( (8 years ago)

Jon @ #8581: My first puzzle. Hope it the right level of pretentiously-abstruse for y'all! :-) (8 years ago)

gb @ #6111: First one I tried and now get how they work. Good starting point. (8 years ago)

JJ @ #8575: Surely accept minced oaths (8 years ago)

Blues @ #8573: You are most welcome Magpie and the mighty toast. (8 years ago)

Magpie @ #8573: Lots of links. A real tease. Thank you Blues, first class! (8 years ago)

Graza @ #8576: Too many word links (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8553: I agree with Besty! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8547: Nice one, tough but varied enough to give us hope! (8 years ago)

toast @ #8573: Good grid, great explanations and a very welcome laugh. Thanks. (8 years ago)

HughHugh @ #8552: Actually that was intended as constructive criticism not just miserable. Let's not descend into personal insults, eh? (8 years ago)

Jon @ #1708: Really good / novel set of categories. Liked it! (Small quibble: 'Bowel' has 2 syllables and 'Foul' has one, but close enuf' I s'pose. :-) (8 years ago)

Jon @ #98: Good one! (8 years ago)

vera @ #8575: For which word is "darn" used? In UK? (8 years ago)

vera @ #8576: Poor. They are not "types of coat". Also "follows computer" is poor. Lack of thought, or even nous. (8 years ago)

Stevo @ #8557: Ha! Nice one. I did think that group is a bit hard in retrospect. (8 years ago)

OnlyConnect @ #37: Damn this was hard. If I hadn't looked up this stuff, I'd certainly get 1/10 since all I knew were the dances (did have at least some inkling of the pandas too) (8 years, 1 month ago)

pomomofo @ #8567: Andy how you do me like that (8 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #8573: Thank you Besty (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8573: Very Good Grid, Tough but enjoyable. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Andy E @ #8567: I didn't (8 years, 1 month ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8570: Apologies, an L missing from Marvellous (8 years, 1 month ago)

xy @ #8568: bit waspish... (8 years, 1 month ago)

Tortoise @ #7805: Liked this one. Good mix and crossovers (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8568: I was stung. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8541: I got the full points in the time, which is unusual, so I liked it! Nice grid. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bart @ #8568: This was awful. A wasp nest? Really? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bunyar @ #8557: Very good. I did think the group with document was jam though!! (8 years, 1 month ago)

pomomofo @ #8558: Even though I am personally not a cat or a dog or a fish or a bird, I really enjoyed this. (8 years, 1 month ago)

pomomofo @ #8554: yay! this was good and not full of wasps for the record, I am bigger than Big Phil (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8551: "Last three letters of dominion expansions" little too specific, don't ya think? (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8567: Very clever! I like it 😊. 👍 (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #4842: Only got one row and then still didn't see two of them. My bad. Excellent grid. Really good quality. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

HughHugh @ #8552: This doesn't work as there are many different combinations all of which would give a valid grouping. There is supposed to be only one way to split the 16 items into 4 groups. Wittering, Indies, End and Midlands are completely interchangeable as they can be preceded by either East or West. So there are 6 different ways of forming the east/west groups, all of which would be correct (but only one of which is accepted, of course). Likewise Dakota, Facing and Pole are interchangeable for the North/South groups (and arguably some others too). (8 years, 1 month ago)

Stevo @ #8557: Thanks Phil. Yeah my bad, I should of thought of a better way around that one. Good work on getting it! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Big Phil @ #8554: Loved the grid, wouldn't accept D for the last group, but never said Initial D... maybe it could've accepted just D. But a great grid and tricky, liked it a lot. Thanks for creating it (8 years, 1 month ago)

Big Phil @ #8557: got them but wouldn't accept singers... knew pink wasn't a band so wasn't sure how to phrase it. Otherwise great grid, enjoyed (8 years, 1 month ago)

Stevo @ #8557: Thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8560: Great grid. Well done! (8 years, 1 month ago)

tronkil @ #8557: nice! (8 years, 1 month ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8558: Yes, the naval term is the one I used. A little obscure perhaps. thanks for the feedback. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Stevo @ #8554: Very good! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Big Phil @ #8556: got the idea that the themes would be the 4 seasons but still got none of the grids. Like Lucy B, I haven't heard of several of the terms involved. this is as difficult as ive personally come across (8 years, 1 month ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8558: Unless you were talking about the naval term, dogwatch, the period of work between 16:00 and 20:00? In which case, my bad ;) (8 years, 1 month ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8558: I enjoyed this themed grid thanks.One thing though, it's watchdog not dogwatch. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Lucy B @ #8542: Very tricky!! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Lucy B @ #8556: Even though I guessed the connection themes I didnt get a single set! very tricky. Also not heard of a few -- autumn almanac or winter wheat. Good grid though (8 years, 1 month ago)

Janine @ #5977: I do a few grids and always like to finish with a 10/10! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8554: Neat! (8 years, 1 month ago)

xy @ #8552: excellent! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8547: No worries, Rubberlisa :-) It's good to have to up my game! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Rubberlisa @ #7297: Good grid, thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8552: Goodness! That has red herrings galore! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Stevieb @ #8552: annoying! so close (8 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #8540: Fun grid which I solved so that makes me very happy. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8551: Me again! Not easy for me but interesting.. (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #6873: Grrr only accepts carbohydrates as the answer... They're all grain products too, you know? (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8546: Really fiendish especially for people who don't understand the foreign languages (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8547: Wow Lisa this is one of the best grids I've seem in a while. Really got me thinking hard - like I kept on skirting around the different categories thinking that the connections between these people involved Oscar or Jr in the name. Well done! 😊👏👍 (8 years, 1 month ago)

Rubberlisa @ #8547: Amy - sorry it was so hard. You use a hawk with a trowel or float for plaster or cement. I keep trying to make them easier but they seem to come out hard... (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8548: Harder than easy! Nice one!thankyou. (8 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #8523: enjoyable grid. Thanks (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8543: In fairness,Jeb did seem to have reservations? I think I was just in the mood to enjoy, but on reflection, can see shortcomings Rubberlisa. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8547: Failed miserably, bar one category... but learnt a lot from your answers! Had never heard of a "hawk" tool, either. Challenging grid for me! (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #5890: Wouldn't accept British currency *grumble* (8 years, 1 month ago)

Andy E @ #8536: Last word of Huey Lewis and the News song titles??? Are you serious? (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8456: PuzzGrid - wow! Yes! Much better. Deep joy. Thank you. (Yes, I'm on an iPad). (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #4409: Great grid. I didn't get them all, but delighted in the answers. Actually never knew about George Cooper so missed that entirely. Couldn't recall the Auf boys either, but lovely grid. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Eh @ #8522: What's the Legend of Korra???????????????? (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8539: I enjoyed this. Thanks very much. Nice red herrings and good spread of subjects. DD - Poker gave me correct answer so that seemed okay to me. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8543: There is clearly a conspiracy here. Why have Wiz and Jeb felt this grid is 'good'? This is a very poor grid indeed. 'Just some funny words' is not a category. Nor are sports that in the grid setter's opinion are not sports. Or sports that in their opinion are 'real' sports (like bingo?!). I rarely make negative comments, but I kind find anything positive about this. (8 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #8512: Good ideas though I got a bit lost as I had never heard of the film. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8541: Got it quickly, but was fun. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8542: Great Stuff! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mixu P @ #8542: Yeah, I liked it. Fancy some chocolate now..... (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeb @ #8543: Decent grid, I suppose. (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #2526: Dammit! Misspelt "liqueurs" (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #4308: I said "To con someone" and you didn't accept it?! (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #2398: Never heard of a router tool but this was fun :) (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8450: Slight issue - Aurora is the name of the superhero and her real name is Jeanne-Marie; also Marie is only the second name of Rogue so if we were to go by first names its Anna (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #136: But where is blah after all this time? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #136: I agree! What can it be? It might explain fiendish too. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8542: Hate to be that person, but... *Swiss Toni, not "TonY" *all the words in that group FOLLOW "Swiss", not PRECEDE it! Good and deceptive, otherwise...kept me challenged. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Alex @ #7643: Really enjoyed this one. (8 years, 1 month ago)

ryedrop @ #1163: no comments here. We are all stunned into silence! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8535: Excellent grid. I was so close, but didn't get it all. Lovely red herrings. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8526: Enjoyed this grid. Since you asked for constructive comments - I thought the colours was a bit weak as a group. Nothing really connected those four. I didn't feel the famous Johns were THAT famous. Still fun though! Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

HughHugh @ #8530: Really good! Great mix of general knowledge and lateral thinking. A real stand-out one for me. (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #2621: Craigslist is an advertising website in case you don't know (8 years, 1 month ago)

xy @ #8540: excellent! (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8527: This is my first grid guys. Hope I didn't make it too difficult for you all😊 Any constructive feedback to give would be very much appreciated (8 years, 1 month ago)

OnlyConnect @ #8516: Eh this was fine but I thought with the first two groups you were probably pulling at strings here since there is no one standout answer from each group that would get me to specifically think about the answer (unlike your third group with "criss" since that immediately got me thinking about crosses) (8 years, 1 month ago)

puzzGrid @ #8526: Very nice (8 years, 1 month ago)

puzzGrid @ #8456: Rubberlisa I guess you're on an iPad or something? Let me know if it's any better now (when you play a new grid). Thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Alex @ #1994: Didn't realise they had moved the Black Sea from between Southeastern Europe and Western Asia to the Atlantic! Must have missed that seismic happening! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Sigma @ #8535: RowG - Technically then "urn" wouldn't count, since it's not usually buried (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8456: Toast - thanks for the encouragement! When I get it wrong, I can't find a way to get more than one answer explanation without doing the whole grid again. Am I missing a trick? (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8456: Toast - thanks for the encouragement! When I get it wrong, I can't find a way to get more than one answer explanation without doing the whole grid again. Am I missing a trick? (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #7414: Really enjoyed this. (I got it, which helps). Nice variety of answers. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8529: 'Weapon' worked for me. Couldn't get the Harry Potter ones. Fun, thank you! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8528: Andy E - I knew I had heard of it somewhere else! A gay snooker club, whatever next? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Woolfie @ #5992: Apart from the spelling really enjoyed it (8 years, 1 month ago)

Woolfie @ #5633: Good one (8 years, 1 month ago)

RowG @ #8535: Could have accepted places of burial (8 years, 1 month ago)

Badger @ #8516: Good grid but why where some items shown with capitals and others with lower-case? Seemed a bit random (8 years, 1 month ago)

Dave @ #8537: brilliant! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8535: Nice one! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bunyar @ #8531: Not sure if it was intentional but group with Rice are also all US politicians also. Good grid. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Janine @ #1747: After playing for more than an hour finished on a 10/10 with a minute to spare. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Janine @ #2748: 10/10 in 1 min 01! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Janine @ #1942: Good one I got 10/10 (8 years, 1 month ago)

mick @ #8515: ok (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8529: You've put Minevra in grid, and weapons was classed as incorrect. Still ok though (8 years, 1 month ago)

GMS @ #8530: This is one of those finely judged grids that gives you a chance, but even when you have got a couple of groups, still makes you work for the rest. Then when/if you do get it, you feel satisfied/smug :-) P.S. It beat me! 5/10 :-( (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8530: Great grid, but bit harsh ships was classed as wrong (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8524: Thanks, I enjoyed that. I was never going to get the book series reference sadly. I also made mistake of not realising Kelly could be an actress too! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8516: I enjoyed this. I am sure I typed 'queen' but was given incorrect. Is that possible? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8524: Thanks.Suzanne,enjoyed! Got two lines, then got sadly stuck due to ignorance! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Hubby @ #8530: Darn it!!! I put Nelson's ships but quite rightly only HMS Victory was Nelson's and the others were alongside at Trafalgar. Good grid, enjoyable yet frustrating :-) (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8530: Cor! Speechless...not easy as it was classified?. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8526: I see what you are saying, but I still think that's ok! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Ally @ #8526: I'm torn over the colours sequence - used to throw us off, but it feels a bit like a cheat. There's no other connection between the colours that enables you to work out which ones are in that sequence without first eliminating the others via other groups. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Woolfie @ #8529: Good, not a Star wars fan so fell at the final hurdle! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Woolfie @ #5890: easy but enjoyable (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bunyar @ #8516: Loved it (8 years, 1 month ago)

Hubby @ #8526: Seems so simple now it is completed but the crossovers were immense. Great grid!! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8526: Enjoyed! Well done...good crossovers...not easy! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mollz @ #8526: This is my first grid! Would anyone like to offer praise/constructive criticism ??? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8517: Ah, I'd have to think about that....I would have gone for Lucy! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Ian @ #8517: @Wiz, yes, you're totally right, and I've just realised. I wish there was an 'edit' function which would allow this to be fixed. Perhaps 'Penny' would have been better, if just as cheeky? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #156: Liked this (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8517: Maggie is a cheeky one....generally not thought of as theirs?...trying to not spoil... (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #8515: Nice straightforward grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

Locally speaking @ #8512: Like the linking theme. need to watch The Breakfast Club again now ; ) (8 years, 1 month ago)

Locally speaking @ #8508: liked the grid. A little too specific on the group names though. Agree with comments below. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8509: Lovely grid! I think it should be 'break' not 'breaking' though, shouldn't it? Anyway, really enjoyed this, great cross overs. Thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8507: I enjoyed this. Nice cross overs. I got football but not the nationality and I tried 'profession' but I guess the answer is trades. Good stuff, thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Billie @ #8497: Doesn't accept currencies or nuts which is disappointing But otherwise not a bad attempt (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8509: Great gridding! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Sandy @ #8366: I got the groups, but i am at a loss to the connections. Apart from the beach one I can't make sense of them. Perhaps it is just me (8 years, 1 month ago)

Billie @ #8386: Really enjoyed this one. Easy enough to figure out, but tricky enough to use my brain a bit (8 years, 1 month ago)

Peeved @ #8508: Please include bicycle as well as bike in answer. School equipment perhaps, not "stationary"? God is not a person in power? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8512: Nice at breakfast! Thanks a lot:) (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #8502: Nice grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

Molders @ #7317: Without I mean!,,, (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mildred george @ #7317: Even for football fans this seems a toughie.hard to be original within becoming impossibly obscure? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8505: Good but oh so hard! Too hard for wiz.... (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8276: 'The' on the front of that group felt a bit forced. I thought they must all be titles of something. I liked it though. Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8504: Never heard of Mega Man X either. Would not accept 'same meaning' or 'mean the same' or 'dull' . Does the answer have to be 'mundane'? (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #7835: Lovely grid. I got stuck with Trench Foot too. Also was sure the answer was going to be Fish Balls, Black Ball, Golden balls... (8 years, 1 month ago)

GMS @ #8502: Hi lindy. Bounty was also the name for a kitchen roll/tissue that changed to 'Plenty' in 2009 here in the UK. Apparently, according to Wikipedia, it is still called Bounty in the USA. Wikipedia does not record its status in Oz! (8 years, 1 month ago)

lindy @ #8502: Nice grid with good crossovers. Has Bounty really been renamed? It's still a Bounty bar here in Oz (8 years, 1 month ago)

LVGboxhead @ #8451: Excellent! (8 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #8482: Enjoyable grid. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Big Phil @ #7963: I think the colour group was difficult, ghost white and blood red are not common... so not easy to spot the group, likewise difficult to see the anagram group. Tough grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

KB @ #8430: Very interesting info provided about the groups! Fun, thanks.. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Esh @ #8433: I can see why being American might have helped score higher on this, I havent heard 'collector' or 'accountant' as alternate names for cashier and never heard of deep therapy either. The 'h' group was too obscure for me :/ (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #4069: Really enjoyed this, thanks! Had no idea Fuji was an apple so missed it. Lovely mix and nice red herrings. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8482: I loved this grid. Partly because I got it first time, but it really ticked all the boxes for me of a good grid. Red herrings, hidden words. Very clever. Thank you. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bigman @ #1746: What abelatha said, nice switch! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Badger @ #8489: Good grid, but I had cabbage too (8 years, 1 month ago)

Rhys @ #8460: Good puzzle, but the 'scare' group should probably allow 'frighten' too. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Hubby @ #8494: Grid was ok but laughable is not the same as easy. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Peachy @ #8494: Nice, but crossovers? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Big Phil @ #8494: Liked the grid, Straightforward or should I say elementary? We gotta have easy grids as well as tough ones. Thanks for good work (8 years, 1 month ago)

Autumnal @ #8497: * iceD tea But fun and simple grid. Keep up the good work! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wolfie @ #5743: Good one with a couple of curve balls (8 years, 1 month ago)

Confused @ #8459: No, I found 1 and 3 hard (8 years, 1 month ago)

Squiggle @ #8000: Great! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Squiggle @ #8034: What a boring grid! Didn't accept 'football teams' along with nationality, but these are specifically football teams rather than hockey, basketball etc. (8 years, 1 month ago)

mrsdespard @ #8489: nice grid though onion link could have been cabbage. (8 years, 1 month ago)

squiggle @ #8497: Agree about currencies. Also, that's not how you spell walnut so it doesn't quite work. (8 years, 1 month ago)

mrsdespard @ #8497: straightforward but nice grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

RowG @ #8497: Great but didn't accept currencies as answer! (8 years, 1 month ago)

MeFi @ #200: Great crossovers, kept trying to put Godber in Porridge! Excellent grid. (8 years, 1 month ago)

MeFi @ #8403: Excellent! (8 years, 1 month ago)

MeFi @ #4547: I agree with the other comments that "Garner" is terrible for "Ghana" if that's what is intended, otherwise an excellent grid! (8 years, 1 month ago)

MeFi @ #1396: No idea what a "full" mattress is, did you mean "double"? Otherwise great quiz! (8 years, 1 month ago)

MeFi @ #4257: As others have said, Firefox is not a search engine, it's a browser. And check spelling first for "cities". If this was you're first though, very nice! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8489: As it could indeed have been! Great grid! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8489: Good one...and sneaky, as I was convinced "cabbage" was one category! (8 years, 1 month ago)

pomomofo @ #8489: I thought this one was excellent, and so did my wife. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Oli @ #8480: beautiful grid. 1/10! had me stumped but good themes. (8 years, 1 month ago)

HughHugh @ #8487: I liked this a lot! Unfortunately the site doesn't quite cope with having the same word twice in different groups, even though it makes for an interesting twist. So in this case you have to select the right "greed" as the other one won't work. Really good otherwise, though, and pretty difficult. (8 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #8473: Clever stuff. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Sam @ #8481: Creative, quick and fun, (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #281: Good fun! Thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Peachy @ #8475: It was a bit of a stretch! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Phil Terzza @ #8475: This was an awful grid. Things said on Geordie shore???? something in Australia??? I mean really? who would think of things in a school sports day as a crying kid? ridiculous (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8311: Enjoyed this very much, thanks! Forgot to add 'female' and didn't spot Canadians. But one of those that when you see the answers you think, 'fair enough'. More please! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8475: There is something a bit random about a couple of these lines I think! For me ,that is.... (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #112: Lovely grid. Good fun and simple. I thought comedian on it's own would be enough, but was just saving typing. Thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #4749: Lovely grid. Kicking myself for writing 'train' and for not getting the word endings one! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8474: Really liked the group using "fit" in different contexts :-) (8 years, 1 month ago)

Terry and Joan @ #8450: Lost on us too, but liked the lions. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #5898: Great grid apart from the compound words. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #4547: Nice grid. I don't know what John is talking about, unless he's pronouncing Garner (Gar-na) as Gar-nurr. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8469: Nice grid, but I got marked wrong for "President". (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #1942: Nice grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #2312: Straightforward grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #8463: Thanks for feedback. Submitted from a beach in Thailand so will have to catchup with Last night's show to see the coincidences. I am new to this group (only the second grid submitted). Is there a way to refine my acceptable answers after they have been submitted? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Dave @ #8468: I typed the equation of your line and was given an incorrect (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8467: Good one. (Plus your excellent explanations always save one Hell of a lot of Googling! I always learn something new). (8 years, 1 month ago)

AV @ #1691: Tricky. Billy goat, billy club, Billie Holiday, Billie Jean. And Betty Becker? But I liked the Charlies and Mickeys (8 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #8468: Very "graphic " Rubberlisa. Liked it (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #8463: It was before! I thought the same! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Dangermouse @ #8463: Did you do this before or after last night's Only Connect on BBC? If before, it's an amazing coincidence to have one of the same groups (albeit with some different words)! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8463: Wow - I liked this, but I was never going to get the gates! I got incorrect for 'garment' and for 'jacket', do I have to actually type 'outer garment'? (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8461: Dirk - sounds like you had caps lock on. Do you think submitters need to add capitalized versions of all the correct answers too? 'Line' is definitely there as a correct answer. UNIX - true, those would be homophones, but I wanted the answer to be easy to guess, so 'sound the same' and 'rhyme' both give you a correct result. I've had lots of grids where it feels like you have to be super careful what answer you give and feel cheated when I write the technically wrong thing. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Marbles @ #8440: Are you the stripey tiger with a jar labelled common sense? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Annette @ #8457: Loved it. One of them was deeply tricky though. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Annette @ #8459: Lines 1 and 4 were good, it was 2 and 3 I found a bit too hard. 3 I never would have got. Still, thanks for the entertainment. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Annette @ #8460: I loved that one. Thanks (8 years, 1 month ago)

Annette @ #8462: Got most of the links and 1 of the lines, really good. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Annette @ #8463: Good quiz, but the acceptable answers were a bit spurious. I got 2 of them which it rejected (8 years, 1 month ago)

AV @ #1726: I don't get "cancer sickness". Also, the cars should be related somehow, by brand or type (sports, SUV). The popes and NASA references were good, though (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8451: I Still prefer Dark Drinks.... A vg Grid (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8161: Very good grid, I got 3 connections (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8460: Good puzzle, but I didn't get the cats & frighten is a different word to scare.... hey ho (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #8463: Good (though the GOJ is pretty obscure!). You should probably broaden the acceptable answers for the group containing Blazer - I feel confident Victoria would have accepted my answer... (8 years, 1 month ago)

AV @ #1960: Liked it. Excellent "drummer" red herrings (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bowie @ #8461: Cheers but struggled with the songs. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Bowie @ #8462: Thanks. Mystifying but thanks. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8461: Rhyming link......and I got marked wrong for LINE. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #48: Liked this. (8 years, 1 month ago)

UNIX @ #8461: Nice ideas,but rhyme is not the same as sound the same I think! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #8460: Good grid...... Annoyed that I had forgotten about good old Top Cat 😿 (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8460: Good fun! Really enjoyed it. Is it just me or does that cartoon series, along with the Simpsons and Wacky Races get used a lot of grids? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Melissa @ #5536: Should be UK, rather than USA (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8460: Great Grid. Well Done. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Andy @ #1396: Good board for a novice player! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8452: Nice grid! Nice different categories. Did not accept 'burger', sadly. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8451: Wonderful grid! Great fun and lovely variety of subjects and words. Many thanks! (8 years, 1 month ago)

AV @ #1719: The "Charles" group was great, but a little easy because no true red herrings other than Dickens (8 years, 1 month ago)

Wiz @ #497: There were indeed! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8430: Fun. Got the groups easy enough, but struggled with the connections, even after reading what they were. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Andy @ #497: Two bakers? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Melanie @ #8346: What beautiful red herrings! Nicely put together. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mrsdespard @ #8441: Channels fixed me (8 years, 1 month ago)

Blues @ #8430: Jeff, getting the connections was intended to be easy but understanding why the connections worked takes a little thinking about. "Bullshit" seems a bit of any over reaction but imagine how happy you would have been if you had understood why you resolved the rows. Nevertheless thanks for the pointer. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Handsome fella @ #8449: I like this (8 years, 1 month ago)

Chaz @ #8448: This is well hard (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8430: When I get all 4 right & none for the connections then the scoring or wordage of the connections is, and I am sorry to say this, Bullshit. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8428: It accepted my boxing weights. I didn't get the other 3 and I'm sorry to say this was not Medium, in fact it ( Or me) was no good at all. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8437: Oh no. No. This is my 2nd medium in a row in which I scored 0 and then got all 4 connections...... Am I beyond all help ? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #8441: Now that is weird..... I got None right, not a sausage, and then made all 4 of the connections. Ok, ok so I'm stupid. (8 years, 1 month ago)

AV @ #2006: This was very enjoyable! (8 years, 1 month ago)

philip terzza @ #8431: One of the squares says Swinson and when the grid is complete it gives the name of a female MP as Swindon. swinson/swindon (8 years, 1 month ago)

Brickie @ #8430: Only trouble with the sports ones - one set are played with a bat/racquet/other implement and the other just with hands/feet. Presumably a coincidence, but might be worth tweaking? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Brickie @ #8433: Perhaps accept "noms de plume" for purple group. All are authors, not just names... (8 years, 1 month ago)

Mogster @ #8437: Alright (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #3418: bit harsh that "little" was incorrect as connection. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8440: Especially liked the numbers group. Clever! (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8442: Don't worry, I doubt you're the only one. (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8437: Fun, but a little random with some of the names. Weather seems to fit in all of them? Not sure I associate 'Clothes' with that category more than many others. Liked the link between them all though! (8 years, 1 month ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8413: Tricky one. I was never going to get the Dr Who one in three guesses and no way of knowing it without guessing, really. I suppose someone might... I like the red herrings though, fun! (8 years, 1 month ago)

Amy @ #8442: *blushes at realising I evidently have a filthy mind... (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8434: My computer seemed to crash and I've ended up putting it on twice grid 8435 has the right song. Unfortunately I put BRIDGE twice instead of BRAG on that one, like I say, proof-reader required. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8434: Yes, you are right. Earth Wind & Fire were an alternative I didn't go with. I need to get a proof-reader. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Besty @ #8431: Wow. Too tough for me. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #2918: Scratch & English are American Pool terms. Billiards would use in-off and side. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8435: Sorry, my mistake. One was meant to be Brag. Should have checked closer. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #54: Niles wasn't in Cheers, his wife was never seen in Frasier. Lileth was Frasier's wife and was seen in both. I put "never seen" in box and was classed as incorrect. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Hubby @ #8435: Not keen on having two bridges in there. Spoils the grid a little but otherwise it was quite good. (8 years, 1 month ago)

GG @ #8427: Good grid. I think that Steel is correct. (8 years, 1 month ago)

Sam @ #8434: I may well have misremembered, (in which case, apologies), but didn't Earth, Wind and Fire perform "Boogie Wonderland", and the Jacksons were known more for "Blame it on the Boogie"...? (8 years, 1 month ago)

Sam @ #8434: I may well have misremembered, (in which case, apologies), but didn't Earth, Wind and Fire perform "Boogie Wonderland", and the Jacksons were known more for "Blame it on the Boogie"...? (8 years, 1 month ago)

GG @ #8434: Nice grid. Like the FA Cup link. Boogie link was tough. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8428: Maybe think of adding "BOXING" to weights keywords. (8 years, 1 month ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8427: maybe think of adding "leaders" to the politics group. (8 years, 1 month ago)

besty @ #8424: Good grid. I was beaten by the wrestlers. Not a half Nelson, just too difficult by half. (8 years, 2 months ago)

DirkDiggler @ #8413: That's why I said "version", not incarnation. Little bit of Licence, I grant you, and originally I was going to use HURT, but then the crossover possibilities of Morrissey were too tempting. (8 years, 2 months ago)

stripeytigr @ #8371: Not sure the cities mistaken for capitals / olympic cities are resolvable, even when you know the groups. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8414: Bit Harsh comment below. Some of the links a little tenuous but it was ok. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8415: Good grid (8 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #8409: The "Cooper" group was too easy to spot, because it consisted of the only clues which were names. Hence you can get the group without even knowing what the link is. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Jenny @ #8410: Good one. Didn't realise that they were famous Geralds. (8 years, 2 months ago)

DirkDiggler @ #1708: great grid apart from having to put the s on the end of anagrams to get it right (8 years, 2 months ago)

Nick @ #8413: The character in Doctor Who played by David Morrissey wasn't a version of the Doctor; he was someone who just thought he was the Doctor. (8 years, 2 months ago)

craig @ #6272: WTF! (8 years, 2 months ago)

craig @ #4604: got the bond villains in the first 10 seconds, after that..... (8 years, 2 months ago)

craig @ #6020: good grid. Knew roulette was on there somewhere straight away, but wasn't until violet gave away the rainbow that the rest fell into place. If you don't watch much sport I'd say it was probably impossible to get 10/10 (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8400: Enjoyed thank you (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8402: Excellent red herrings! Enjoyed this a lot. Didn't quite do it in the time but got the links. That is my ideal kind of grid - too clever to solve in three minutes, but not so obscure you can't do it. Thanks! (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8401: Quick and fun, but I am sure I typed 'Top' and got incorrect as answer. Maybe I made a mistake... (8 years, 2 months ago)

The Fire King @ #8407: Here on Venus we know about fire and I find this grid both striking and full of warmth. (8 years, 2 months ago)

David @ #8403: Nice one (8 years, 2 months ago)

Nick @ #8402: As a fan of a certain sci-fi series, I call this fiendish! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Nick @ #8373: I feel like the non-names should not be capitalised as words don't tend to be capitalised in OC unless that's meaningful. Otherwise good, totally not my area though! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Boo @ #3800: SPices not herbs!!! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Peachy @ #8399: Good tho the cake line is a bit random.. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blusky @ #96: The Paul McCartney wings thing is fine- it's the same word. A jet is well known word for a jet engined aeroplane- so that's fine too. What's not fine is that I failed to spot 'fruit' ...doh... (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blusky @ #3757: Barberry got me stuck- not heard of these before- must try some. Liked the crossovers (8 years, 2 months ago)

Penfold123 @ #8387: impressive linkage (8 years, 2 months ago)

Penfold123 @ #8392: Easy (8 years, 2 months ago)

AV @ #4589: liked it, although cartoon dogs and dogs seems like a couple of dogs too many (8 years, 2 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #8365: As a Manc I loved this, but have a couple of quibbles. It would perhaps have been better to describe the places as areas/districts rather than towns. Although associated with M People I think it's a bit of a stretch to say Heather Small is a Manchester singer; isn't she from that there London? (8 years, 2 months ago)

Robert Stacey @ #306: didn't accept upset (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8390: Good variety. To UK players it is unfamiliar in places. No more friendly fire please or we send over more ageing rock bands. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8388: Good Gridding! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8388: Thank you toast. Is the legendarily useless ticket clerk now working as a member of HM's government ? (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8387: Very clever (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8383: Ahhh I was wondering if someone would pick that up. Dan yes he does. There is limited character space when you put a term in. I felt You was less important than train.😀 Thanks for being alert. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8387: Wonderful! (8 years, 2 months ago)

AV @ #4211: I said "coward" and you wanted "cowardly"? Also, there were many ways the colors could have been organized -- poor choice to put so many in the same wall (8 years, 2 months ago)

s.buckley762@hotmail.co.uk @ #8381: Really good 1 Enjoyed it, even though I did find pretty hard going !!! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hubby @ #8386: Nice and easy. I like easy because it makes me feel clever!! (8 years, 2 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #8277: Some nice ideas, but too many interchangeable answers. Grids should have only one correct solution. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8386: Nice grid Rubberlisa. Learnt a new riding position. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8386: Super Grid. Well constructed, challenging and fun. (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #1646: I enjoyed this a lot. Missed one category, but the difference in USA and UK terms make it interesting. (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #8385: Great fun. I prefer grids where the connections are not just a linking word for every group, but this one has lovely red herrings and I enjoyed it a lot. (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #608: Good fun grid! Nice mix of subjects and red herrings. (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #5033: I enjoyed this grid and all the excellent comments. Not sure which bit of a cock Richard Ham is, but if there are four basic parts, I'm sure it will be revealed in a future grid. (8 years, 2 months ago)

RUBBERLISA @ #6470: Too specialised for me, but good. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8379: Easy but fun. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Janine Paule @ #8371: There is a mistake in the last line. Good should replace Rock. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Christine @ #8373: One I really liked (8 years, 2 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #3062: Good clever one with wide general knowledge (more than I have!). (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #7697: Not really Rubberlisa it's just that they have universal appeal and would be known to most people which makes the grid a bit more accessible, I'm more of an Alabama 3 or Joe Bonnamassa man myself. Thanks for the observation anyway. Got to run now because it's been a hard day's night. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Rubberlisa @ #13: Same problem with String Instruments not accepted but nice quick fun quiz. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8373: Herrings galore. Well done (8 years, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #8371: Thanks for acknowledging & apologising for your mistake, minor though it was. Grid was fun, otherwise, and setters' detailed explanations are always useful for improving learning! Look forward to your next one :-) (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8370: Thanks Blues yes clean of course I was focused to much on the drudge of it all rather than the result (8 years, 2 months ago)

Mrs T @ #114: A puzzle jug has muliple spouts. When you pour you don't know which one it will come out. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8373: Good fun. Thank you. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8370: Thanks, nice grid. (It did not mark me correctly for "clean" which may be permissible?) Discovered that quark has a non subatomic use, yummy. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8371: Enjoyed it nevertheless. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8373: Like it. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8371: Sorry Puzz gridders there is an error word Rock should have been Good. Shouldn't effect the game too much but the explanation (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hannah @ #204: Found it a bit difficult with road crossings as I have never heard about any other then Zebra (8 years, 2 months ago)

Stig @ #8338: friggin nonsense. rubbish grid (8 years, 2 months ago)

Stig @ #8363: that was truly awful. A very self indulgent grid from the designer which doesn't even make complete sense when the answers are revealed. Shame cos I liked the best served cold link, probably cos it's the only bit I got (8 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #8366: Sorry,I miswrote your name after all that ,andyt.That'll teach me not to be cheeky. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #8366: I do so agree andy but careful! You spelt connection wrongly. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Rea @ #8362: Agree with cluedo comments (8 years, 2 months ago)

andyt @ #8366: words wrongly spelt. How is splitting a 4 letter word into 4 letters a conection? Why not clod? (8 years, 2 months ago)

Wiz @ #8366: Spelling of sandals & conductor lack the Wow factor for me. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8365: Top herrings in this one. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Honeybee @ #8364: Not just me then! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Honeybee @ #8364: Explain please! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8363: Marvellous effort, and I, unlike Amy, thought the sushi joke wasn't such a damp squid... Which should be damp squib I know, but squib has no connection with sushi. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Yeah @ #8246: Right on (8 years, 2 months ago)

Jayme @ #8362: Yes, everyone calls them weapons, including the game rules, not implements. Even just Cluedo should be enough to get a correct mark. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Le Sigh @ #8246: Good Grid. In response to RowG - Parlor is spelt correctly for USA - and the puzzle is noted to be USA so that is correct. Many people in the States aren't taught other locations spell the same words differently just as many people overseas aren't taught how the US spell words. Doesn't mean they're wrong. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Le Sigh @ #8344: Well done! I wouldn't worry about it not being very well known outside the US as there are so many grids here that are culture specific it's nigh on impossible for a non-native to know the answers. It's refreshing to find some I can answer and the hubby cannot. =) (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8363: Thanks very happy with my 5/10. I'm like Barry I don't know Barry let alone his brother and then my brain clicked. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8362: Another enjoyable grid. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8363: Thanks and congratulations on a very brave attempt Amy. I will try to leave the terrible jokes to Blues. But you know, the habits of a lifetime... (8 years, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #8363: Truly a great grid, which I loved: Clever and diverse, although attempting to solve the two cryptic groups within the time constraints totally defeated me! Probably would have eventually got there, but the minutes zipped by too speedily for this addled brain :-) Excellent explanations in answers, and I'll EVEN forgive you the terrible sushi joke... (8 years, 2 months ago)

Magpie @ #8362: Good grid but wouldn't accept 'weapons in cluedo ' as an answer (8 years, 2 months ago)

lindy @ #8360: Loved the Basil line. Good grid. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8360: Enjoyable, thank you. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8359: P.S. Oops. forgot to add that I really enjoyed the grid!!!!!!! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8359: I think that starting off making grids is a bit like making pancakes. You put every effort into the first one but end up eating it yourself. From then on, with trial and error they just get better and better. It is an enjoyable pastime! Hope you have fun and post some more. (8 years, 2 months ago)

lindy @ #8359: Cakes wasn't accepted also Galaxy is made by Mars as others have said. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Liz @ #8359: just came on here to make same comment as tricky...galaxy is not a maker (its made by Mars) (8 years, 2 months ago)

Tricky @ #8359: Not very accurate. Galaxy is not a chocolate maker for eg (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8359: I enjoyed this one and it is more varied than your previous one. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8355: What an astonishing coincidence toast! You brushing up on your Zulu and you are gifted a question... I wonder that if I write one on lottery numbers will yours turn up, now that would make you smile. Cheers Amy. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #8355: Oh, Blues, how your humorous answers do make me smile :-) Keep up the good work... (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8343: A fine grid.... Something to go to work on just like a egg. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Dec @ #8005: It's Keith Wood not Woods. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Waw @ #7118: Nice grid, shame about the answers, when correct words are rejected. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Pamela @ #8296: I don't like being called pammy or spam (8 years, 2 months ago)

Thanks @ #7760: I liked it. Brilliant! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Chief @ #8178: Really nice medium grid, we need more of these! So much more difficult to make than the easy or hard ones, well done! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Smileyface @ #8331: Excellent, but very cheeky lemons, naughty sausage (8 years, 2 months ago)

Autumnal @ #8329: No problem, ProbBanksy...good luck with your next one & well done in the first place for even contributing to PuzzGrid; I'm too chicken ;-) (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8329: ProbBansky. You can't amend the grid but don't worry about the difficulty level. You only set the initial level, after that it changes to take into account how difficult the other players find it. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8059: Lovely doing a grid with Blowers and Aggers in it. As I write, I'm watching the first test between England & Pakistan which is a corker - i'm guessing with your name you are a cricket fan. I may be wrong - often am. (8 years, 2 months ago)

ProbBanksy @ #8329: Thanks for the feedback, especially autumnal who makes a good point. Is there any way to edit this or delete it & put a corrected version in? I'd like to correct the anagram and make the difficulty fiendish. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8330: Had to look it up! Very good! LOL (8 years, 2 months ago)

Autumnal @ #8329: The anagrams clue doesn't work, I'm afraid: "seize" (English, to grab/ take hold) has the ei in that order, not ie, as you spelled it! So that means it's not an anagram of "seize" (French, number 16), but the exact same word! Sorry to be a pedant, as I enjoyed it otherwise. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8330: Enjoyable and accessible . On this occasion I won't suggest you put fuller explanations. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #8330: I'm sure you can guess which phrase in which group caused me to splutter tea all over my laptop!!!! Blimey... (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8312: I thought it an excellent grid and I now know what a knot is. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #8328: Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8329: Agranams of French integers caused me a bit of grief... Well actually It stopped me in my tracks. Yes I must admit the old Amagrans of French integers frazzled moi. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8329: This shows good imagination but it was far too hard for me. Anagrams are always problematic so avoid anagrams of foreign words however well known. At least it was more accessible than anagrams of German cities with a letter missing which a previous setter thought was doable in three minutes. Please try again but make it easier. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8070: Outstanding. Stumped, timed out (twice) and bowled middle stump. Had lost, left and saw Uk but never made link with any - a thing of beauty. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8319: I Frank you... Hic. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8328: I lived in Swansea for a while but I notice there was no llocal advantage conferred on me ! Still I suppose you can't please everyone. This is fiendish by my estimation but welcome back HughHugh. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8328: I enjoyed it two Hughs. Learnt a little too. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8328: Yes - excellent Hugh. Looked very difficult at first but I managed to do it more by luck than skill. Elpam started me off with trees, thought the second row was add -d (!) and I lived in Shanghai for 8 years so I recognised those names. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8319: Excellent grid. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Dacre @ #1708: Really enjoyed that once got the Spoonerisms. A couple of errors to sort though. Animals one had no idea even though I got it from the other 3 (8 years, 2 months ago)

Dacre @ #8309: Nice - can't believe took me so long to think of colours - only had 30seconds left to try and get them once realised! (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8319: Your notes are gradually clearing the thickets of my ignorance. It's a big job, mind. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8196: Very good indeed. Didn't get any categories in 3 minutes EVEN though I'm currently watching Breaking Bad (and recognised the name Pinkman) and I knew Sable and Nero. Excellent confusion. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8196: Very good indeed. Didn't get any categories in 3 minutes EVEN though I'm currently watching Breaking Bad (and recognised the name Pinkman) and I knew Sable and Nero. Excellent confusion. (8 years, 2 months ago)

PAMMY @ #3209: Excellent - easy enough to enjoy but not too easy. (8 years, 2 months ago)

PAMMY @ #5209: Ian is right - Evelyn Glennie is a percussionist. The answer percussionist is correct for them all but drummer is incorrect. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8237: Well done Honks. Enjoyed that one. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8318: I'm afraid I could have stayed staring at the grid until the end of next week and the week after that and I would not have got anywhere. Simply beyond my scope of knowledge. Well put together though, thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8313: Nice zip line! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Mogster @ #8319: I like it. Great notes. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8319: Lovely explanations thx (8 years, 2 months ago)

Pocketmonster @ #8318: Good game (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8239: Outstanding grid Oli. One of the best that i've seen. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8319: Great crossovers and variety. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8240: An element of beauty (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8313: Jolly tough puzz, this. Good stuff. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8251: Outstanding. Love cricket and there were about 7 bowling terms in there, have watched Layer Cake and knew they were cakes but still couldn't get any in the three minutes. Well done. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8269: Beautiful (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #5890: very good - didn't get the Beatles one but got the others. (8 years, 2 months ago)

PAMMY @ #5196: This was very difficult. if you've never been ten pin bowling (and the footballers seemed pretty obscure) you've got no chance. (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #3696: Loved this because I got it really quickly and now I feel very clever! (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #8296: good grid. totally guessed the last one and got it right! (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #8309: Very good - enjoyed this! (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #8311: Good grid. Enjoyed, thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Bigman @ #684: What is the English-German link about? Extremely tenuous, without that it's a great grid but that spoils it. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #7898: Got it on my third try, totally worth it (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8246: Absolute cracker for a first grid, thx (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8291: Got two - good variety. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8297: Beautifully creative. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8293: Aaargh ..ran out of time, very clever red herrings and fun to do, thanks (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchys @ #8293: Excellent - almost perfection. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8276: Tarot cards - excellent - worked well with game shows. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8308: Very good. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8199: Brilliantly fiendish, loved the pronunciation line (8 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8308: fun fun fun, thanks! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8309: Great, grid. Not so hard but really fun in the process. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8311: Nice grid. Good crossovers. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #8309: "Aha", I innocently thought, "this looks an easy one to zip through". Hmm...so many possibilities challenged me right up to the final seconds. Very deceptive grid! I liked it. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8026: You must have had great fun making this! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8309: Absolutely adored it (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8292: Excellent - difficult but doable. Particularly liked the Tiffany link. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8301: Top 2 very easy - vehicles excellent. Didn't get Dr Who either but a good one. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Paul @ #8311: Excellent (8 years, 2 months ago)

Beauchy @ #8305: Nut is fine - liked the pnictogens also - (learnt a new word). The 'i before e' rule is a little debatable as it should really be "I before E, except after C when the sound is ee. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8309: Nice and colourful grid. Thank you. (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #8301: good grid but a bit hard if you don't watch Doctor Who - I think I'm in a minority there though! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8305: Very good grid, but would not accept nut. (8 years, 2 months ago)

pammy @ #8305: good choices, but phosphorus and antimony both spelled incorrectly. (8 years, 2 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #8026: Excellent. (8 years, 2 months ago)

PAMMY @ #8308: Excellent. good fun. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8308: Good fun grid, thanks (8 years, 2 months ago)

Fifi @ #8239: Brilliant red herrings and fiendish countries, good fun! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8305: Most enjoyable. (8 years, 2 months ago)

tim @ #8308: good misdirection with squeak (food) and danger (mouse) (8 years, 2 months ago)

andyt @ #8296: I just put letters and still got it right (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8307: Good variety. Parts will not be familiar to many British players and that may reflect in the marks given. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Etienne @ #8303: Yes, he does sing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDk_pnN4r18 (8 years, 2 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #8285: Invalid I'm afraid: John Major was also briefly chancellor, so interchangeable with Gordon (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8305: A veritable Variety Pack of a puzz, with one very trying box of Raisin Bran among the funner flavours. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Charmeth @ #8269: Scout is correct (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8304: Caught me out nicely with the puzzgrid stuff. Very inventive. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8304: Nicely inventive.... and it annoyed me because I didn't finish it! Like the first green line clue. Thanks (8 years, 2 months ago)

rn @ #8303: Flea isn't a singer. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Hi @ #238: What's wrong with"can be written on"!!? (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8297: Al P... Yep! It's all smoke and mirrors and a bit nutty. toast... Ah ha..The brilliant comment wasn't a ridiculous estimation of my own ability, it was a reference to the connection for the row. You can list the anthems on the interweb and I thought there were some fantastic titles... Although now you mention it, I know self praise is no recommendation but ... brilliant, mmm, sounds good. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Al Pacino @ #8297: Ridiculous. But then again, It's supposed to be, right? (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8297: I cannot outdo your own estimation of brilliance. Mind you it was only when self appraisal came in that my own career took off. Let us rejoice together ( as Winston said and Theresa almost certainly will). (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8296: Some good touches. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8296: Enjoyed it. Cheers. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8293: Good one. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8291: I got one which left me pretty glum. Nice effort. Thanks. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Blues @ #8285: A house of not so commons. Excellent stuff. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Scout @ #8269: It's what we do (8 years, 2 months ago)

Gridded @ #186: Really enjoyed it, simple answers but lots of red herrings! Good work (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8279: I certainly did enjoy it and you had very good explanations which count for a lot. The grid was very hard but I have found with grids I have set that they are a lot tougher looking back than I intended. And don't think that a lack of comments means anything - good comments are great but look at the stars ! (8 years, 2 months ago)

ABelgian @ #8261: Thank you all; glad you liked it (8 years, 2 months ago)

ABelgian @ #8279: Thanks toast; hope you still enjoyed it though :) (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8283: Good mixture of complexity and fun. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Besty @ #8285: Good grid. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Sam @ #8293: *dormouse (not doOrmouse) *ChesHire cat (not Chesire) Quick and fun, otherwise. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Eh @ #8270: Eh! (8 years, 2 months ago)

Amy @ #8291: Loved it. Challenging, fun and diverse. (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8291: Enjoyable and varied with good explanations. I did have miserable disallowed for the sad line but that is a very minor issue. Well done. (8 years, 2 months ago)

Kelly @ #8285: I love animals (8 years, 2 months ago)

Etienne @ #8284: great puzzle - spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out if it was Julia Child's recipe :-) (8 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #8285: Nice to have one I can get right. Thanks . (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8284: Very much liked the commas observation. I suspects that was what led you into the typo you have commented on. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

V @ #8269: What's a three finger salute? (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8279: Thanks for the two tongue twisters I didn't know. I've got more chance of success with them while gargling than I had with the grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Gms @ #8228: I like (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8277: So many possible combinations make this one very difficult and unfortunately the answer is not the only possible one. For example K ( vitamin and element potassium) could be swapped with B ( also vitamin and element). But interesting and a nice try. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Cherry @ #8281: Well, I think it's nice :) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8284: Oops should Read Julius not Julia's (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8283: Ditto Bunyar's comments. Thanks. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8284: Three good rows. Thanks enjoyed it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8276: Well I liked it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8283: Thanks for these. It is nice solving all lines. Sometimes the correct answer are not being accepted. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Al Pacino @ #8281: Too Obscure!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bowie @ #8277: Probably not drunk enough to get lucky enough with the letters. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8275: Some good ideas. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8270: I didn't get this but Ii think Disney Movie has gone too far by objecting - you can't be expected to please everyone. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8269: Nice idea., enjoyed it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8246: Not so far as I know JerBearMo. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Ellie @ #8215: Thank you so much Mr North! This has been really helpful when I needed to catch up on the lesson I missed. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Ellie @ #8215: Thank you so much Mr North! This has been really helpful when I needed to catch up on the lesson I missed. (8 years, 3 months ago)

WeedzFan @ #8252: I agree Wiz, I was just angry at Weedz! Thank you whoever you are (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8281: I loveeeeeedd it! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8257: Not sure about the Port Arthur line explanation. First thing that comes to mind is penal prison and then the Tragedy which is still in living memory. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Eloise @ #8215: I found this really hard (8 years, 3 months ago)

Amy @ #8261: So clever! Loved the variety of lateral thinking required. And always a real bonus when such in-depth answers are included. Please do more :-) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8273: too hard for me :) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8274: very nice; like it (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8275: enjoyable! did not get the connection to two of the lines but still fun (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8276: Not your best ;) but still good (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8277: Awesome! Even though technically, all the letters in this grid (except Q I think) can be used as an answer to one of the lines; so that would mean that this sea is overrun by red herrings! but cool nonetheless (8 years, 3 months ago)

Invisible person @ #8270: This is so cool, although it does make me feel like a nerd. KINDA!? (8 years, 3 months ago)

JerBearMo @ #8246: Sorry, very new to the site. Just learning the ins and the outs. Is there any way to edit a puzzle? (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8261: Intriguing. l suspect your estimation of our intelligence is flattering. I am happy with the two points I got. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Concrete brain @ #8270: There's a whole other world out there! It seems! (8 years, 3 months ago)

RowG @ #8246: Didn't accept parlours (correct spelling) and famous side kicks! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8254: Thanks Toast (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8261: Very clever. Was able to get first line only. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8270: I did not have a jar of glue. (8 years, 3 months ago)

unicorn @ #8270: Got 9/10 last time - 10/10 this time!! It just gets 'FABBER'!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

unicorn @ #8270: Fab!! :D (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8254: Tea and toast- nice to see a grid in such good taste. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bowie @ #8228: Yes Blues... Cymru am byth. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8258: Started Ok but then drew a blank. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8259: I struggled a lot and eventually got exactly none of them but I did look up the experiments. Interesting stuff. Cheers (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8239: Pammy- see my comment below. If the setter ends the list of acceptable answers ( which the solver doesn't see) with a comma then any answer even a blank answer is treated as correct because a comma effectively means "or". Hope that explains what happened. (8 years, 3 months ago)

pammy @ #8239: bit puzzled as - in desperation - I put rivers for the last line and it said correct! can anyone explain? I liked this though. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8252: Unfair criticism! I enjoyed! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Weedz @ #8252: Hey WeedzFan! Glad you liked the grid! Let's see you try to do better you Fanimal :) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Mrstaggerlee @ #7675: Pop artists with one name. One name being the key bit That said, I got it wrong as wrote one not 1 (8 years, 3 months ago)

Joan and Terry @ #8251: Some good some that made us wonder. Thanks nice job. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Joan and Terry @ #8228: Clever Blues but do we need to remember those games?!? Enjoyed guessing what the four rows were. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Waw @ #6218: Great to get 'correct' answers when we put the wrong ones! (8 years, 3 months ago)

WeedzFan @ #8252: Obviously has no idea what he's doing! (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8248: It is fine to have an easy grid as Think!!! says. My suggestion is that it would be better not to have one group stand out too obviously as the French words do here. The best line is the fire one which is at a good level for new gridders but not too easy. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8247: A little too easy to drink, perhaps, but a delicious vintage with inventive flavours. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8248: Barely worth the corkage fee. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8249: Rather like a young gruner veltliner, simple, but with some playfulness to it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8248: Sorry Quizzy, but that was easy. But good one for people who have just started PuzzGrid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8251: Wndergrid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8228: All very topical Mogster thank you. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8251: So many red herrings. Excellent. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8243: one of the lines was tricky business the rest are really fun (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8247: I like it :) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Frank @ #8249: Needs more red herrings (8 years, 3 months ago)

Cherry @ #8248: Not difficult to solve (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8250: Flummoxed me. I was on a stair going nowhere just for fun! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8247: Cheers toast. Awfully kind. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Michael @ #8248: Fun puzzle! (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8247: A cut above - and devilish good oxymorons! (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8246: Enjoyed it and it had some nice red herrings. I didn't recognise a couple of the answers so fuller explanations would be appreciated. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toasty @ #8245: Nice idea with the Bowie song. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Mogster @ #8202: Missed this one earlier. Top stuff. (8 years, 3 months ago)

pammy @ #1910: Nice and easy but I got 10/10 so nice one! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8245: Good herrings. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8246: Thanks JerBearMO fine grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Mogster @ #8246: Good one. Nice links. I agree with Bunyar's comment. Enjayable. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Mogster @ #8228: Love the descriptions. Good fun Blues. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8246: Enjoyed it. In linking terms remember spelling can be different 😀 (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8243: Very imaginative. Be careful about telling people they are mispronouncing soot as suit though - especially if you are planning to travel very far north! (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8239: Clever and very tough. Good use of red herrings donne (poet) and the stick words. A couple of my wrong answers were accepted so you may have left a comma at the end of the acceptable answer word stems. Well done. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bowie @ #8243: Three minutes.... Not a chance. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Holmes @ #8243: Very good one! Loved it! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Cherry @ #8243: One of the lines is quite challenging, but the rest can be figured out if you think a little outside the box (8 years, 3 months ago)

iansky @ #5494: Ridiculous not accepting famous rays,...street,labour. Just makes the whole thing silly. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8237: Good one. Would have been even better if there had been some link between the words in the t line but that is easier for me to say than for you to do. Thanks. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8206: Velly kind toast. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8234: Amazed I scored 3 points. Very hard (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8239: Saw connections couldn't get groups😀 Also saw red herring of meat backwards (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8240: Tricky clever groups (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8235: A decent grid . I thought the end line was fine. The others in my opinion were made a bit too difficult because of the number of red herrings. Or maybe I was a bit slow. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8234: Sorry I meant to say American not US. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8234: Good ideas but the US sign language line requires very specialised knowledge. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8229: I enjoyed this. It has variety and doesn't rely much on knowledge other than general knowledge. (8 years, 3 months ago)

iansky1 @ #7123: Really poor as regards connections ...how specific do these things have to be!!!???Wouldn't accept architectural features despite the answer being verbatum (8 years, 3 months ago)

Besty @ #8160: Great Grid! (8 years, 3 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8178: Correct answers e.g. "ranks" and "trades" not accepted. (8 years, 3 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8189: Easy if you watch TV game shows, which I am ashamed to say I do. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Jonathan @ #8225: I thought this was fun. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Tricky @ #8229: Another 2 minutes wasted 😉 (8 years, 3 months ago)

Kitty Kat @ #347: Rod Stewart isn't Scottish. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8228: Challenging. And provocative though it is it won't stop me cheering Bale and the boyos ( though I am a part Welsh rarebit sort of toast thinking of claiming my EU friendly Irish passport - typically English really). We can take the beatings even if we can't finish the grids. Peace be with you Blues. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8227: Nice grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8219: Breezed through it. Especially enjoyed the one that looked like a lot of noises. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8227: I live and learn! Thank you. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Francois @ #8228: Tres Bien. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8218: I got the Jones boys... but only through luck and a following wind. Cheers think!!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8193: Great grid; well done. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8224: I suspect this is a good grid based on the White line but it is mostly based on things which are not well known to British players and that is probably the reason for the currently low grading. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8207: Thanks for the feedback. Still working on getting the balance. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8218: Nearly got cramp trying all the possible combinations in the three minutes. Nearly got there. Enjoyable and good explanations. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8207: Imaginative and interesting although too difficult for me to score many points. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8206: For a minute I thought wankel was one of your oriental crues. It was with some relief that I recalled the engine favoured by the not at all tawdry Volkswagen company for its beetle. Another winner (though I lost in fact). (8 years, 3 months ago)

GenericChicken @ #8218: Didn't really get it... (8 years, 3 months ago)

GenericChicken @ #8219: Umm....who actually did this because this makes no sense. JK! (8 years, 3 months ago)

*Parp* @ #8204: Ew. (8 years, 3 months ago)

dpeers @ #8216: fun but i couldn't work our the singer pink, duh... (8 years, 3 months ago)

noooo @ #8207: no no no (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8204: Better than the average football grid. But the timing for a football grid outside Wales could be a lot better - let us forget about it for pity's sake! (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8202: Great grid and even more enjoyable explanations. Respect! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8194: Lovely stuff! For the record, though, Hampton couldn't get the 'testament' row, guessed 'c*nt' and still got a point. Hamptonic. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8197: Agreed, fun herrings and bonus marks for sweariness. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8198: Nice easy lunchtime puzz. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8204: Loose, directionless, dispassionate grid. Pure Roy Hodgson puzz. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Jules @ #1757: easy (8 years, 3 months ago)

Lieutenant Shinysides @ #8192: I have a new street and this is right up it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Oli @ #8202: excellent grid (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #8202: Savory grid, nice salty links to sink the teeth into. Couldn't get the percussion line, though, which left a sour taste, like a particularly rough blue cheese after a satisfying meal. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8199: Very nice grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8202: Completely bamboozled by this one. Great fun! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8202: Moi pleasure Wiz. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8202: Another fun grid,Blues! Thankyou! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8199: What a fantastic grid, thanks. I play infrequently these days but loved the variety in this. Pleased with getting 2 rows (one for the wrong reason) (8 years, 3 months ago)

pomomofo @ #8197: yay for swearing (8 years, 3 months ago)

Milo @ #8032: Good - I typed in 'biscuits' and it was accepted (8 years, 3 months ago)

Milo @ #8032: Good - I typed in 'biscuits' and it was accepted (8 years, 3 months ago)

Milo @ #8164: Good (8 years, 3 months ago)

Milo @ #8168: Good one (8 years, 3 months ago)

Milo @ #8172: Hard! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Milo @ #8192: Enjoyed this one (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8199: Not even if there were two months of Sunday's would I have completed it. I saw BB in concert, brilliant. Frank you velly much for the oriental crues. Well done toast. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Tricky @ #8199: Genius and true 'Only Connect' style! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8199: Couldn't think of the links. Thought one of them may have been seven but I was only going on the folding paper for that and another things that spin!!. Thanks a lot my brain had a spin o (8 years, 3 months ago)

Amy @ #8199: Loved this one. So much lateral thinking! Was pretty much defeated by the clock, though, and only managed one group *sighs* Good answer explanations as well. (8 years, 3 months ago)

iansky @ #7139: ridiculously specific answers. Didn't accept rubbish or just. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #7608: Solved it thanks doesn't happen that often (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #7013: Enjoyed it only got stuck on last link, thanks (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8196: A bit specialised in parts and as I didn't have that knowledge I got completely tangled up in the red herrings. Very good. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8194: Nice work with the hidden words. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8192: Excellent stuff. Lizzy foxed me and I should have got it. That is the hallmark of a good grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

honks @ #8194: Clever grid. Didn't know style. (8 years, 3 months ago)

pammy @ #8189: excellent - not as easy as it first appears. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Pammy @ #8178: bit annoying as got them all right and it only accepted one. it didn't even accept "all called Harold" for the last line! I agree with Dangermouse and my score is 10 not 5! (8 years, 3 months ago)

PAMMY @ #8191: Excellent grid but not good for my score because I'm rubbish at dates. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Mogster @ #8164: Loved it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8192: Cheers HughHugh. (8 years, 3 months ago)

HughHugh @ #8192: AWESOME!! Best grid by anyone, in a long time. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Oli @ #8193: fantastic grid (8 years, 3 months ago)

julie @ #1490: liked it (8 years, 3 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8193: Enjoyable. Thanks! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8194: 'Eye' agree with Blues (Because there was a group about eye) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Julie @ #1480: liked it (8 years, 3 months ago)

Julie @ #5480: Great idea but too hard for time constraint (8 years, 3 months ago)

Julie @ #7311: didn't accept 2 correct answers (8 years, 3 months ago)

julie @ #7166: yes same with detectives! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Craig @ #8094: (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bowie @ #8192: Quality stuff Blues... Bruce Lee and Puff the Magic in the same grid. Good one. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8192: Argh. Needed more time! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8193: What if you are a Cyclops? Just messing enjoyed it. Cheers. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8194: Thanks Bunyar nicely constructed and enjoyable grid (8 years, 3 months ago)

Terry and Joan @ #8193: Nice grid. Got marked wrong for answering one of the rows as "means of transport" but with hindsight Its probably not specific enough. Thank you. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Terry and Joan @ #8192: Fun quirky grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8193: In one of the linking terms I pluralised the answer. Give yourself the point if this come up incorrect (8 years, 3 months ago)

Amy @ #8192: I've said it before, but I'll say it again: you really do give the very best, most detailed and informative explanations to your answers :-) Good, clever fun to play. Keep making 'em! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8192: Very clever,Blues! Thanks!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8191: Really got me thinking. Because I wasn't born in the 1990s or earlier. I knew some of them and then worked from that. (8 years, 3 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6672: Jackson Hole, surely? (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8191: Most excellent toast. A lot has happened since we could spend a penny and Bobby Moore lifted the WC. (A different WC than where you'd spend a penny of course.) Enjoyed it. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8191: Good fun. Pleased to see nothing past the 90s. Don't feel so old now! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8191: Enjoyed it ,toast!should have solved it but only managed one line! (8 years, 3 months ago)

iansky @ #1585: .s,I put two ls' inpalindrome so was not accepted and spelled mash as in the show m*a*s*h this was not allowed either. (8 years, 3 months ago)

julie @ #8178: omg got them correct but not accepted (8 years, 3 months ago)

julie @ #348: poor answer selection (8 years, 3 months ago)

francesi @ #8014: About the right difficulty for me (8 years, 3 months ago)

francesi @ #8178: good grid, pity about the definitions! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Ryedrop @ #965: good grid thanks! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Badger @ #8062: Good grid but need to loosen up those answers. Would not accept 'Mythical creatures' or '_ Eagle' (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8189: Are you meaning only connect?never think of it as as game show! (8 years, 3 months ago)

. @ #8189: . (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8189: IProud to say I did badly due to my lack of knowledge of these rival game shows. Its a question of loyalty, Think!!! ....... (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8186: Liked this one. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8178: Very good grid. I agree with the comments about answers. Don't forget to use short word stems rather than full words if possible so for example you can accept singular word answers not just plurals. But you got the most important stuff right so well done. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8188: Nice idea and nice memories - not blinkered nationalism mind - more that I had a good punt on England before the tournament when Brazil were hot favourites and the price was very much right! (8 years, 3 months ago)

stig @ #2239: ermm...what? joke of a grid (8 years, 3 months ago)

stig @ #6756: rubbish. as Darto said almost impossible to get those connexions (8 years, 3 months ago)

iansky @ #929: Didn't accept 'bird types' as an answer!Apparently I should have answered 'types of bird'!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Hubby @ #8187: Fidel Castro broke quite a number of international laws in his time, mostly regarding human rights. Got to admit that I didn't get the connection right but I did get the group! Great grid!!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8187: There's Ariel Castro - the guy who kidnapped 3 girls and got a 1,000 year sentence. I think he qualifies here. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8189: I used to play cricket with "The Beast" he was also pretty good at our pub quizzes! Enjoyed the grid Think!!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8188: Did something important happen in 66 then? (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8175: Chris, Badger, Patch your observations and arguments are very well made but it's a well known fact you can please some of the people some of the time and all of the people none of the time but none of the people... That's enough of that old adage. Thanks for the comments, I shall strive to improve. (8 years, 3 months ago)

meme @ #8189: knew them, but had a twist to it, well done, you fooled me (8 years, 3 months ago)

Patch @ #8094: Penquin: five Penguins in a row. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Patch @ #8175: I tried to say "extraction" for the milk group and I'd have thought that was acceptable. On the other hand, I only said "bands" for the cream group, which was accepted, but I'd have thought you'd want something more specific. Surely Eric Clapton is the key phrase there! I completely missed fingers, but that's no fault of the grid! :) (8 years, 3 months ago)

Patch @ #8187: I usually find grids with lots of groups of people's names difficult. This was no exception. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Patch @ #3712: My limited cultural awareness let me down. I could see that there was a group based on fives, but only knew two of the bands, and I'd never have got the actors. Parks were relatively easy after I saw "Car". I also struggled to spot the last two units, so overall I struggled with this, but it was a good wall. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Jayem @ #8178: Be less detailed in answer checking. "Ranks" is all you need - put anything else in explanation. Allow for alternatives - occupations, trades, jobs, etc (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8175: I liike a bit of okra myself ( and the grid is quite tasty too). (8 years, 3 months ago)

Badger @ #8187: Assuming it's Fidel, is Castro really a famous criminal? (8 years, 3 months ago)

Badger @ #8175: How can 'milk' be a synonym for 'milk'? (8 years, 3 months ago)

chris @ #8175: I wrote get money from for the last one but it didn't accept it. Apart from that it was good but only took around 20 seconds (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8187: First one of yours I've managed to get 10 out of 10. Thanks for all your grids. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8178: Nice grid. Enjoyed the red herrings. I'd agree with the Nurdler's comments however, I'm not too concerned about the official score on the screen, I still give myself the point if it's right! (8 years, 3 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6618: Surely actors, rather than characters, from Carry On films? (8 years, 3 months ago)

chris @ #8032: i wrote biscuit for the answer. didn't accept that. types of biscuit was the answer. grrr (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8175: EMC you are obviously correct, I tried to cover as many of the outcomes that I thought were possible and lo and behold you've uncovered another... (8 years, 3 months ago)

RowG @ #8178: Craftsmen should be accepted (8 years, 3 months ago)

EMC @ #8175: Good wall ,but it wouldn't accept 'synonyms for getting something by applying force or pressure' for the milk group. (8 years, 3 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6548: Perfectly good grid, but for >99% of players far too obscure to solve in 3 minutes. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1601: \_/ (8 years, 3 months ago)

BigG @ #267: Good grid but doesn't accept answers very well. Fighter planes not accepted for "WW2 fighter planes" Clothing brands not accepted for "Fashion shops" Ales not accepted for "All real ale"!!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1574: Liked the grid, witch one was a bit obscure, but a good grid. Thanks. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8175: Layla... I knew you'd get the Clapton link! (8 years, 3 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #8178: Quite easy, some nice swerves. You really want to consider your keywords for the answers. If I put 'Harold' for the group that is 'people called Harold' then that really needs to be given as correct. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8178: Red herrings,sorry,...addled brain or what! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8178: Great great herrings,Thankyou! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8178: (8 years, 3 months ago)

Layla @ #8175: Good wall (8 years, 3 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8172: Very very superb............... even after a disappointing draw. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8172: Very Very Superb even after a disappointing draw. (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8171: Naw... It's a grid about the greatest!! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Mrstaggerlee @ #7788: Good grid. All I got was a bonus point for Pompey (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8171: Is Ali Blues? (8 years, 3 months ago)

Robert Stacey @ #206: OK typed in each answer in a variant of the correct answer and was still marked as incorrect (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8171: Memories. Unbelievable now but I could have got 7 to 1 against Clay ( as he was then) beating Liston the first time and I wanted to take it after hearing The Beatles talk about meeting him. Problem was I only had enough cash to invest in a gum snake! Even then the bookies didn't take pennies. It's a hard world for an honest boy! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Oli @ #8170: waffle, correct! (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8165: Going into Ian Hislop mode shouldn't that be fewer? I am almost enraged enoughto write to the Daily Torygraph. And it has nothing to do with me making a complete mess of the grid. (8 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #8170: Liked the backward numbers and thought the grid was well constructed though I only got it half right. (8 years, 3 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6477: Letter sounds group almost works brilliantly, but let down by obesity (which is NOT pronounced owe-bee-see-tee) (8 years, 3 months ago)

waffle @ #8170: homophones not synonyms! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Wiz @ #8170: Not a clue apart from tow line!good one,Oli! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Bowie @ #8165: I got two rows less than Narrow Neck ! (8 years, 3 months ago)

Blues @ #8170: Cheers Oli. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Smith @ #8168: Thankyou, except I was told to put Orson Welles rather than Alfred Hitchcock.......but I still got 10/10 (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8170: Fun grid. Thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8164: Of course he is,your soulmate! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #8165: Awesome grid, I love it, thanks. I got 2 rows and spotted the third as my time ran out. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8168: Completely disagree with Paul but a very nice grid. Thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8167: Some nice touches. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Miss Piggy @ #8164: Oh, yes he is (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1489: Wouldn't accept "riding equipment" or "Weapon stores" :( (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8168: That's quite a statement...I disagree.there are many such grids,surely?look again? (8 years, 4 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #8165: The more I look at it the more I think that all of those bands would look better with a heavy metal umlaut. The Sgababes particularly. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Paul @ #8168: Congratulations, this is the first real Only Connect style grid I have seen on here. Nice red herring group (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8168: Fun to unravel,Thankyou, didn't quite get there. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8167: So tricksy,,did for wiz! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Bunyar @ #8164: Thanks a lot. Loved the herring comment! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8164: Great stuff again . (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8165: Magnificent use of umlaut which is now my favourite word and I'm going to listen to some Lou Reed. Thanks. (8 years, 4 months ago)

PAMMY @ #4777: Liked it a lot but it didn't allow me "types of transport at the end for the last one" (8 years, 4 months ago)

PAMMY @ #6140: LIKED THIS - HAD TO GUESS THE CARTOON CATS BUT NICE TOPICS. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #1483: They baffle me!but I can see that they have the power to satisfy .. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1483: Good grid, thanks I really like it that every now and then one like this comes up...all the squares are very similar and you have to work hard, but once you've found a link the rest fall into place. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8162: Clever (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8161: I like! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8162: You excell yourself SIR! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8161: Nice grid. Thank you. Some good red herrings in there. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #8094: It was quite easy but I like that. Makes me feel good about myself before I get back to work!!! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8070: Tricky, brace yourself, I think they are just a sweet memory. Though they live on in that Scottish film - was it Comfort and Joy? Thanks for the comment. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Tricky @ #8070: Brilliant. I knew I hadn't imagined Kunzle cakes. Can you still get them? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8161: Did you know that the Chinese cannot drink milk... As for Charlie Hart he is about as much use an ashtray on a motorbike. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Magpie @ #8094: Not that easy Thinks as lots of overlaps. Well done! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8161: Got 10 on this but only due to your generous marking on the Clampett line where I was reduced to putting von Jed ! Your money has gone with mine by the way and we owe a trillion to the Chinese. Do you think they'd settle for a tenner each? (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8160: Good stuff and I nearly got it all. At least this time it was just ignorance rather than being a bit thick that tripped me up. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8161: Joe Slippery Hands Hart. Love that! Fact: Did you know Joe Hart's real name is Charles Hart. It's true. Awesome red herrings aswell. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8094: Nice and comfortable Think!!! Welcome back. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8070: Nice one toast. I too failed to finish (twice) and then failed to work out the connections. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8094: That was a very long detention they gave you Think!!! Glad you're out at last. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8094: Hello,good one again from you! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8067: Not all that easy if you've never sawn up a nice length of jarrah! But I enjoyed it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8067: Most enjoyable (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8066: Liked the Popeye red herrings. A couple of the fast food chains maybe not so familiar to Brits. Overall a good grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

disappointed @ #106: ...... prrrp (8 years, 4 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #8065: Very nice. Echo the comments about Presidents but some nice twists. (8 years, 4 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #8065: Thanks for the feedback. A few more obvious President names might have helped. SAM - you're entirely correct. Wish there was some way to edit these after they've been submitted. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8065: The Presidentes did for me. The Fords take me back... (8 years, 4 months ago)

SAM @ #8065: washington IRVING not IRVINE. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #8065: the spanish group didn't accept spanish. got all 4 groups but the presidents baffled me, had guessed Hitchhikers due to prefect but good grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8065: Imaginative but so many crossovers were baffling and the Swift line was out of my league. Thanks but it was far too difficult for me in three minutes. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8065: Nice. Good crossovers. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8034: Just guessing but the setter may have forgotten to use word stems and commas in the part of the grid hidden from the solver. If the setter doesn't understand the system or just gets a bit careless either no answer may be accepted or any or even a blank answer is treated as correct. Just give yourself the points you deserve! (8 years, 4 months ago)

pammy @ #8034: Either this is rubbish or there is something wrong. I put all the correct answers which the system agreed were correct to the word and all my results were "incorrect". Explain please......................... (8 years, 4 months ago)

pammy @ #8032: good grid, accepted "TYPES OF BISCUIT" for me. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1450: STP - what do you warm the pot with? (8 years, 4 months ago)

PoP @ #8063: "french colors" and "xmen" were both considered wrong answers. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Stacey @ #185: Didn't accept the word currency (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8019: Like the grid, didn't know what an eye lash was with regards to the answer. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8064: Spot on Toast. (Spot on... Dalmatians... Tarra.) (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mogster @ #8059: Like it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mogster @ #8053: Leg up for Bluesy. (8 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #8064: Didn't accept parts of a vehicle as answer- not just cars! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #1482: I thought the were well chosen as red herrings , along with the Mayo they gave three Irish counties. The criticism is misguided. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Badger @ #8064: Good grid but a bit tight on the links, "101 Dalmatians" was incorrect as was "parts of a motor vehicle or car" (8 years, 4 months ago)

pernickerty @ #8036: Enter just "nicknames" for all four groups and it's a winner????? (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8064: Oh come on Blues there were only 101 of them. If you can't be bothered to pay attention..... (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8062: Nicely interwoven but tough as a very tough thing for me. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8064: 101 Dalmatians.... Now that is tough. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8064: Ps picky...but isn't it a caracal? (8 years, 4 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #8060: Nice, difficult! I think I might have been over-zealous with my keyword for the 'famous people' connection but it is too loose a term considering they are connected in other ways. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8059: Very good explanations. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8064: Fair attempt. Good crossovers. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8064: Crossovers did for me! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8062: Clever,Thankyou! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8059: Excellent. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Bowie @ #8053: Cool. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #8059: Top marks, especially for the informative explanations. Although I nearly got categories, so many devious combinations meant the clock won. Aaaagh... *shakes fist* (8 years, 4 months ago)

Hubby @ #8059: Really good grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8059: Nice one,Thankyou! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8049: Here is another disappeared grid..shame,it's good. (8 years, 4 months ago)

james @ #8049: great (8 years, 4 months ago)

readyg @ #8014: clever (8 years, 4 months ago)

readyg @ #8016: enjoyable (8 years, 4 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #8053: Very clever idea - I'd quibble slightly on the 'Football League play-off', though. Specifically the semi-final is two legs and the final stands alone - was convinced it was part of a three-leg set! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Cobweb @ #8053: Oli,some didn't have a leg to stand on. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8053: Chaps and Chapesses I thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8053: Chaps and Chapesses I thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8053: Chaps and Chapesses I thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #8053: It was clear everything was about legs fairly early on but still couldn't quite get all four groups! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #8047: really enjoy this, thanks (8 years, 4 months ago)

Magpie @ #8026: Thought some were company names, like AA, BA etc. Grrr, tricked me. very good, thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8016: Splendid AND fun! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #1739: Not bad. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8047: Simon. Thanks. I enjoy most the grids I don't get and then when I see the explanations I want to kick myself because know I could have done them. (8 years, 4 months ago)

simon @ #8047: very good, in the sense that I didn't get it it was intere sting finding out why not... (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8053: Also love toasts comments! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8053: If I had a hat I would take it off sir. (Rest assured my legs and other regions remain modestly covered while I attempt your grids). (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8053: Splendid! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8053: Love your grids and full and sometimes whacky explanations! (8 years, 4 months ago)

koshatnik @ #8026: Clever and satisfying. Some nice red herrings (8 years, 4 months ago)

andyt @ #8032: didn't accept biscuit as answer (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8047: What's afoot I wonder?how did ASM find it? (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8047: Wiz. You are on to something, See my comment on 8052 , Where is the grid and those before it? (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8052: Only found this grid because of ASM's comment. Something going wrong? Keep it up ! (8 years, 4 months ago)

ASM @ #8052: Cool game (8 years, 4 months ago)

Holly @ #8032: Good grid, but "biscuit" wasn't accepted as a correct answer (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8032: Enjoyed it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mogster @ #8047: Not sure that your definition of inflammable is correct. I thought the prefix was to make the word "stronger". I also struggled with the added letters clue. What connects the four other than the added letters? Finally, sorry, I think the items with their letters changed is a bit tenuous. Not my sort of grid I guess and I know it is a bit of a balls ache setting them and then you get criticised, but it was a test anyway. Thanks for the submission. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Badger @ #8032: Good grid. Biscuit worked for me (8 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #8032: Didn't accept types of biscuit as answer (8 years, 4 months ago)

Sheila @ #8029: I work as a medical secretary so was mostly easy peasy for me (8 years, 4 months ago)

Sheila @ #8029: Really enjoyed doing this one (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8047: Beyond the horizon as far as my vision is concerned. I found one pair of connected values and crashed and burned (I'm flammable) with the rest. Toast Toast. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8047: Ps puzzgrid...what happened to the grids after 8036 and before. 8047? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8047: Ingenious and testing! Thankyou,toast. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8047: Very nice. Thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8036: A touch of culture at last. Undoubtedly raising the tone but where were the girls? Got to be careful these days! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1379: Good Grid...well done! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #8034: spanish teams not accepted..ok I should have used capitals. German teams not accepted. Actually none of my kinda correct answers were accepted. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Robert Stacey @ #149: Hercules is Roman equivalent is Heracles (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8036: Like it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8036: Colourful and entertaining.. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8034: Looking at Think!!!'s comment maybe the answer is to read the advice on the site and put in word stems such as germ when you set your next grid. This was OK by the way not too obscure though it was on a specialised subject. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8032: There are loads of bars on the Mediterranean coast! (Though technically Darkness may be right let us rejoice together.) Good red herrings and liked the grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8034: Annoyed with the group 'Koln,Leverkusen'etc I put 'german teams' and it was incorrect. When I looked at the answer it just said 'Germany'. So it was hard to get from the others being _____ teams. :( (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8031: Well done to Blues. SharkeyH that's tricky grid for me. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8032: Bari? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8034: This should've been easier using geography...but I failed:-(.neat idea. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #1191: Erm...what is a pocket monster? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Henvig @ #2296: (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #8026: Thanks for the great comments. Glad you liked it :-) (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #8027: Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it :-) (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8031: Hats off to you Blues...formidable football grid ,SharkeyH? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8031: I managed to do it. Thanks . (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8026: Very clever,,,,such a range of ideas,too hard for Wiz, good one! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8029: Did OK as I watch GPs Behind Closed Doors. Closest to that medical degree the patients seem to insist on. Still here if any young ladies need some attention after hours. Not a bad grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8028: Always difficult to avoid unintentional crossovers in such a homogeneous grid. Don't be disheartened Thinks!!! . Easier to comment than to do it as with so much in life. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8027: Good red herrings. A bit cheeky with the homophones. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8026: Surprisingly difficult. Different and varied. (8 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #8029: Didn't accept Viral infections (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8023: The youngest great grandmother is or was 40,Blues...can you believe that.? (8 years, 4 months ago)

UGM @ #8029: Most tonsillitis is viral not bacterial. Also 'poisonous elements' is not accepted, nor is 'viral infections' for the flu category. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8023: She doesn't look old enough on the stamps that I've got to have great grand children. Nice grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8029: Very well thought out,Dave! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8028: You are right Oli,but I guess I was going with the most common usage,along the same lines as Thinks maybe. (8 years, 4 months ago)

oli @ #8028: a bunch of the nouns and verbs could be in either group. punch, paper, cycle, pencil, bridge, run, (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8027: Most enjoyable MrSmith. Thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8028: Why? A neat little grid,just easy! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8027: Superb! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Darkness 11/11 @ #8028: Poor Mr Think!!!! (8 years, 4 months ago)

PB @ #8021: Not a wall (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8021: Some memories there! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8020: Best not to put two identical boxes as they are not interchangeable and the solver has no idea which is which. But this was not too specialised - accessible to many with an interest in popular culture, though not very imaginative either. Fair enough overall. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8018: One of the specialised subject grids that are probably great if you are interested in the subject but it can't please everyone. As I know nothing about these films I am not marking the grid as that would be unfair. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mr Smith @ #8023: Thanks :-) (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8022: It kind of strangles up my mind..but in good way! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8023: Liked this muchly,Thankyou? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8022: Veery good Olli. Too much for my brain. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Milo @ #449: FFS! I put tv stations as the answer to number 3 and got marked wrong. Crap. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Milo @ #355: Far too ambiguous. There should only be one possible answer to each group. Answer to second should just be "perfect". Answer to last one could just as easily be numbers in film titles. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8022: Brilliantly done! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #7990: Who's seen a 50 note????? (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8016: Excellent explanations and the whole grid went very nicely with a bottle of wine and a dozen beers . (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8022: Imaginative but to my admittedly dulled mind just about impossible. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8022: Awesome links Oli, One of you best grids! (8 years, 4 months ago)

E.L.Wisty @ #8017: I'm very sorry- Extra letter added by mistake to one of a group. (8 years, 4 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #8016: Another good one from Blues. Thanks (8 years, 4 months ago)

Joan and Terry @ #8000: God fun again Blues (8 years, 4 months ago)

Joan and Terry @ #8016: Good fun Blues (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8016: Your grids are a mouthwatering treat, Blues,many thanks! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8015: Good one from you,Oli,Thanks.. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Nigel @ #7988: Oh No, not frozen, AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Lieutenant Shineysides @ #8012: Top notch. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #6311: I miss your grids but looking at this how did you ever think mine were impossible? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #8005: Dangerous, you have a point, sir. You have a very good point. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8014: On a slight downside a little one dimensional but more than made up for by the crossovers and I was very pushed for time as a result. Very enjoyable, well done. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8014: Fine effort E.L.Wisty (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #2957: Nice grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8014: Good ideas! Well done E.L.Wisty (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8014: Nice grid. Thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8005: I'm confused by the North West one. I thought the kid's first name was just "North" like the other first names you've listed here. More importantly, I hate myself for asking this question! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8012: Like your grids,Thankyou. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8012: Very good Mr Smith (8 years, 4 months ago)

Nigel @ #8013: No (8 years, 4 months ago)

Pip @ #8013: Is that you Nigel? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Robbo @ #8012: nice one, did not know what a semordnilap was, you live and learn. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8012: Well done MrSmith. (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #182: Meh (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #179: Fine, easy. (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #167: Ok (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #156: Not bad (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #153: Just like the others, I got them all right but was marked wrong cos I put new_ and pea_ . Ggrrr (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #151: Very easy so I enjoyed it! (8 years, 4 months ago)

AG @ #145: Didn't like this one at all (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8012: Nice grid. Thank you. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Badger @ #7993: Nice grid (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: That was the intention Bsty. Glad you enjoyed it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Badger @ #7993: Nice grid (8 years, 4 months ago)

Besty @ #8000: Well done, easy but great fun. (8 years, 4 months ago)

MrS @ #98: Nice work. I liked the red herrings. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Holly @ #7986: Didn't accept dog breeds as a correct answer (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8005: That was neat Oli.thanks! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7995: Nice grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Sam @ #8004: *inCense, not inSense...??? But the total randomness of the "letters" and "Annabelle" categories made me chuckle, so thanks for the laugh :-) (8 years, 4 months ago)

Tricky @ #8005: Good effort on this (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8000: Thnks vry mch. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8000: I expect you go to the ysbyty if you need to get your bowels removed ((ho ho ). The lads round here do it for you without troubling the NHS but you are probably best where you are. Stay alive Taff and keep gridding.Anthony Eden was OK but a right b in the grid. Well done. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #8004: Fine grid Moonwolf. The letters got me, had to look them up. The only Annabelle I knew used to spell her name with a silent K so it's a miracle I worked that one out. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7995: I suppose swimming and surfing are not so much lifestyle choices as survival techniques down your way. Keep it up! (and keep gridding). (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7993: Nearly got me with the presidents . Didn't know what the W stood for but took a guess. The only points I scored! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #8004: I can help a bit. If you put a comma after the last word fragment in the links section rather than just between the word fragments anything or even nothing is marked right. It happens a lot . But you do also need to work harder to make a good grid and give explanations. Best wishes and thanks for trying to make a decent grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7988: Thanks Wiz . Explanations make grids so much more interesting. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7987: There are some of us who think Dahl was ahead of his time .People with beards are taking over the world. They can't all just have mislaid their shavers. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7998: Too hard (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8004: Dangermouse - That happened to me aswell. I got 4/10 but I didn't know any! The links are very vague: What are the films? Letters is definitely vague? I know this isn't your fault but the Annabelle group is hard to get because at the end when it tells the group. It was: 'Bell' 'Na' 'An' 'E'. So it was hard to get. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8004: Something's gone wrong here. All my answer's were correct, despite being completely wrong or blank! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7995: Nice ideas Blues! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #8000: The welsh words tricked me but I knew they couldn't have vowels removed because they would be really weird words. Well done for 'Think!!!ing' of a trick to make it more better. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #8000: Great fun. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Moonwolf @ #8004: Thx guys, tell me if there's something wrong. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Bowie @ #8000: Genius. Good fun Blues. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7999: Gone now folks! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Henvig @ #7987: I think the groups are easy, but the answers I gave were marked incorrect, when I checked them they were same as the required links. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Badger @ #7995: Nice! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Henvig @ #8000: Great thanks! (8 years, 4 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #7999: doesn't recognise correct answers. One of the answers is an in joke? If so it has no place here! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Badger @ #7999: Surely the Microsoft one should allow 'part of Office suite'. What is the name thing? Is that a private joke or something we should all know. Annoying (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #8000: Nice playful grid from you,Blues..Thankyou. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7999: These grids are hard for a technophobe, but they seem well thought out.Thankyou. (8 years, 4 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #8000: Haha, last one made me think but my guess turned out correct. Nice one. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #8000: lol. I couldn't work out the last group so just put in Welsh as a silly answer. 10/10 (8 years, 4 months ago)

Besty @ #7990: Solved three out of four, but did not accept 20,10 and 5 as answers. (8 years, 4 months ago)

pomomofo @ #7987: my favourite roald dahl book is the twits although in retrospect i realise that it is really prejudiced against people with beards. (8 years, 4 months ago)

pomomofo @ #1157: the tattoo was too hard and so i couldn't solve it. you have really hurt my feelings. also i wanted to select the rabbit but it said i had to select the deer and that really hurt my feelings too. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7994: Nice one, Sharkey!thankyou....didn't quite there but even so,'twas good. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7994: Well what do I say ... Impossible for me! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #2335: Good grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7994: Excellent grid SharkeyH. Thanks. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7988: Hello Thinks...the dinar is the currency of Serbia and 381 is the country's telephone code I believe.hope that helps. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7985: Liked the racehorses. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7990: Money? Come on pal! Wish I'd seen all those notes. Send me some samples. But a good grid I. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7990: I'm not a big fan of grids where every theme is basically the same. Just personal preference. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7990: Same as below. Knew the theme, didn't accept my short answers. Very clever grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7984: Watched it for thirty years and still got it wrong. Where are the Sharples of yesteryear? How soon are we forgotten! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7983: Good varied grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7987: Pretty straight forward I love Roald Dahl I know where Austin,brownsville,houston,dallas are And I knew the world cup stadiums group I didn't know the TV shows group but when you have got the other three groups you have got the last group. Try some red herrings next time. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7988: The Balkan countries group should allow just 'countries' because that is what I put and it said it was incorrect. Because they are countries. Why is 381 and Dinar related to Serbia? I have never watched frozen and I got it right! But I have heard of 'Let It Go' not the other three though. (8 years, 4 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7990: Got nowhere but pleased that I guessed the theme. Nice one. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7990: Had to have a couple of stabs at it to get the order correct. It did not accept the "short" answers I gave. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7983: Compliments Oli. Nicely assembled. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7984: Ditto Oli. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7987: We live and learn. Good one. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7982: Manalishi... Could do with a barrow load of that. Nice one toast. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7986: Enjoyed,Thankyou! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7988: Ok,,but maybe more red herrings would be good? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7984: beaten because I've never watched Corrie!!! Oh well, I get the moral victory. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7979: Not sure if whispy should be wispy but clever stuff with the male/mail lines and overall a very good one. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7982: Indeed ,a red pepper herring...the grid was true to your unique and pleasing grid- style and I enjoyed.thankyou!i know the band well. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7982: Wiz :A bit of a RED herring do you think? ( they are a band} but hope you enjoyed it otherwise and thanks for taking the time to give feedback. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7982: Good...but the pepper thing is very...lateral? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7978: Thankyou,understand now! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7978: Wiz. Look back at Oli. The answers don't need to be right to be accepted if the setter doesn't understand how to use the system. Will explain more if you want. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7978: What is wrong with the acceptable answers here,Toast?dont understand.... (8 years, 4 months ago)

Magpie @ #7978: Very tricky Think, I didn't get anything right. Thank you for giving my ancient brain a good work out. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7978: Think!!! Take notice of the advice I gave you before. If you don't get the acceptable answers right then no matter how good the grid is people will get annoyed. But your grids are well appreciated. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7976: So at last I'm one up on Leonardo da Vinci ( and if you believe my mum I'm a better painter too). Thanks for the quality. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7969: you can have foreign words in the grids surely. "when" in french isn't obscure. are there guidelines? (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7978: enjoyable grid and even more enjoyable acceptance of wrong answers. 10/10 with two completely wrong links. I had insurance for house, motor, life.... and speed???? I also saw leg and off and thought they were all types of spin. I'm not even particularly into cricket! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7971: Liked this one. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7977: I wondered. ..but autocorrects do have minds of their own.! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7978: Nice one againThinks! Thankyou. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7977: just realised my comp autocorrect zibit (as in Xzibit) to zit. sorry. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7977: Very very nice. Enjoyed this one. Very clever. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7969: AS USUAL? Oli's grids are brilliant! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Carmo @ #1060: Good for my students! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7976: Very creative,,.too hard for Wiz, but great ideas. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7965: An assembly of wild horses now that's a thought! ... You must admit that anyone who could fly on an umbrella is pretty cool even though it's not the same film. Thanks toast. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7965: Great stuff . As the icing on the cake it would be good to accept the tonic sol- fa as my wife has never been able to assemble enough wild horses to drag me into The Sound of Music. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7963: True but on the side of the defence they were short and gettable and all of a uniform type . (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7976: super tough. 0 points for me. (8 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #7970: They are all types of wind speed more specifically (8 years, 4 months ago)

stewrt @ #7963: I agree with Ewan; anagrams are words, really; not just a bunch of letters. (8 years, 4 months ago)

mavista @ #7969: Pretty poor, as usual. You cant just put parts of words in the grid (eg quand) they have to be proper English words!! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Kevin C @ #7971: Thanks for the grids (8 years, 4 months ago)

pammy @ #5937: bit annoyed not to be allowed "MISTERMEN" for line 4.................. (8 years, 4 months ago)

PAMMY @ #2668: Didn't allow seafood for line 3 - which they all are.......... (8 years, 4 months ago)

PAMMY @ #7972: JUST RIGHT! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mitzi @ #7527: Elegant with a superb red herring. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mitzi @ #7555: You've misspelt the word 'running' in one of the answers so it marks you incorrect even though you're not. 😬 (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7906: It's branching stand for hanging necklaces,Mitzi. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mitzi @ #7906: What the hell is a necklace tree ?! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mitzi @ #7898: Liked this one a) because I solved it 😊 and b) because all the groups have a theme. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mitzi @ #7905: The connection between the names is the same for two of the groups. This is rubbish - groups should be distinct and there should only be one possible correct solution. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Mitzi @ #7828: Liked this one especially for the fact that all four answers were linked. Rid the glitch on being unable to give the answer winter. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7967: Your brain is too awesome to think simply! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7971: Like your grids!thankyou! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7972: Mrs R. very nice. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7970: Nice one Mrs R. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7968: Well done Oli (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7966: Very clever. Too clever for me. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7968: Really excellent. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7968: You keep turning up gems,Oli! Full of admiration. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #7967: I'd like to do some easier grids and be less baffling but I find easy grids harder to do. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7967: Tough one again Oli, you continue to baffle me into submission. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7966: Always make me think Oli. I imploded. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7967: Gosh,that's clever,Oli! (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7955: Nice work and good explanations. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7949: Brilliant. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7948: Tricky (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7947: Plenty of red herrings. More explanation would help the learning process. (8 years, 4 months ago)

toast @ #7946: Just when I thought I was there the scientists got me.Clever bleeders. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7964: What a cool idea,nice one... (8 years, 4 months ago)

Ewan @ #7963: This is a nice idea but I think anagrams work better if they are proper words. I'm not sure 'tofo' and 'dary' are. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Jank @ #7964: A nobel effort (8 years, 4 months ago)

Jank @ #7965: I like the comprehensive explanations (8 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #7965: Creatively challenging, and the answers & detailed explanations teach me something new every time! You've set the bar high... More, please. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Wiz @ #7965: Good one,awesome explanation,Blues! (8 years, 4 months ago)

Joan and Terry @ #7764: Good fun. Lovely grid. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7964: Excellent. Worth a prize if you ask me. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7949: Badger... Probably because I'm a rubbish typist (I took woodwork in school.) (8 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7924: Good one. I'm sure Sheldon would've appreciated the inclusion of Green Lantern... (8 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7961: Very good. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Blues @ #7928: Up and down the Taff Toast. No problem with the cold... No sense no feeling. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Bowie @ #7949: Good fun, nice eclectic mix. (8 years, 4 months ago)

Sam @ #7962: * beRserk, not "beserk" ! But a really fun one, otherwise. Thanks (8 years, 4 months ago)

Rui @ #7872: Weak (8 years, 5 months ago)

BrodieFish @ #7962: Check yo priviledge (8 years, 5 months ago)

Sheep @ #7962: I made this. Sorry for the privilege typo. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7961: green day (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7961: 10/10 wood. cut it close this time. wasn't until I said greenway out loud that it all clicked lol. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Badger @ #7949: Great grid but why ".laramie" not Laramie? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7960: Very smart. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7949: Frank you very much. See what gallons of wine can do for you! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7960: i knew three of the themes (____away was the missing one) but couldn't get the set and piece groups sorted. good grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7960: Very neat and nifty, Thankyou! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #7949: Best grid I've played for months, love it, thank :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #7949: Excellent grid - good red herrings (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7944: you are correct. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7955: solved it 10/10 with over 2 min to go. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Stilton @ #7927: Should've been cheese (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7939: Yes Toast, we are nothing if not a bunch of vegetable lovers. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7944: Nice idea but Roman numerals don't work like that. Exempli Gratia 449 is not lid but ccccil. Or at least than is what John Cleese made me write out 449 times in the Life of Brian. Hope that is right but I've had my glass of wine ( purely for medicinal reasons of course). (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7955: Indeed! Had me thinking, still didn't get there! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7939: So there are vegetables eaten out your way! Classy! And not a bad grid. Sorry about the work - it's always been the curse of the drinking classes. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7942: Good, but easy. I thought the two Manchesters made it easier. I jumped to the conclusion that one must be city and the other united. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7947: I found it tough. Blagged two groups, but failed on the others. Well done though for a good grid, (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7948: Good Grid (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7949: Very well done- excellent gridding. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7955: Cracking stuff! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7938: My brain cell was stretched to its limit- and then cut out. Hats off to anyone who solved this . (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7946: It seems really easy when you know the answers. I should have known the scientist group. Good One!! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7935: Whereas I just put "group" as I couldn't remember the numbers and was marked correct. Indeed the race is not always to the swift (but that's the way to bet). (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7934: Sorry Think!!! There should have been a NOT between "remember" and "to". If I recall properly if you put in a comma after the final word fragment then even wrong answers are accepted. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7948: Still a nice grid though! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7948: Would be nice if your answers could expand the groups. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7949: Nice grid. Great work on summarising the answers. (8 years, 5 months ago)

RowG @ #7946: Skin blemishes should have been correct- these marks don't just appear on the face! Otherwise very nice (8 years, 5 months ago)

Amy @ #7949: Fun grid. And you DEFINITELY get 5 gold stars for the useful, very detailed answers...a lot of effort put in there :-) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7949: That was quite a challenge.Blues! Couldn't quite get there! Great grid from back- to- work Blues. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7949: I worked out the four links but couldn't work out the combinations which made them work. good grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7946: I'm with Wiz, good one Oli. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7946: Nice one,Oli! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7934: I recall John Peel playing An Evening Wasted with Tom Lehrer. But Thinks!!! remember to put in the final comma when setting acceptable answers or you will waste as much time as I did. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7932: Soul sister. Wasn't she brown sugar? (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7930: Drugs slang? Suspect another more colourful contributor will find this a bit easier than I did. To be fair I had heard of the chocolate bars. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7929: The red herrings were good. Not so sure the slug isn't a bit fishy too! Nice one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Fundoo @ #7842: It Sucks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

carlos @ #7559: Easy once the brain woke up (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7943: Leeds haven't won European cup. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Peter @ #7564: Got the connections but don't recall Haffey? (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7928: Ten p says it was the Bristol Channel Dai bach and I bet you were a fine blue colour out there in the rain. Well done for the grid though. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7939: fly group had me stumped. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7929: I do try and chuck some red herrings in there, Dangermouse. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7925: I believe si is yes in French of it answers a negative question. E.g didn't you close the door? Si je l'ai ferme (acute accent) not oui though of course it does mean if so both take a point. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7915: Well done for coming up with "proper' anagrams so tightly grouped. Not your fault that I couldn't solve them in the time though it was asking a lot from a non-genius. (8 years, 5 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7942: D'Oh! Only meant to be one Manchester in there. Sorry about that. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7914: All fair. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7905: Nice one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7903: Very good varied grid. It shows you don't need crossovers if the grid is sufficiently interesting ( or I may have missed them). I was not familiar with a mouse pad but that just makes me feel slightly socially superior. Now that is RARE so thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7897: Good one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

awsomeness @ #7939: it was quiet clever well done. fantastic dude (8 years, 5 months ago)

1 @ #7559: loop (8 years, 5 months ago)

sumisu @ #7935: Yes, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Neon are noble gases. Tried it too (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7934: Try it on you-tube Thinks.,it's brilliant...you would enjoy !type in The Elements Tom Lehrer. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Tricky @ #7939: A refreshing change, a proper grid at last! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Stella @ #7903: Good one (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7939: I like that you used 6 months to trick us. Good one! But I still knew there was a 'months' group, obviously. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7938: Great grid! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7935: Sorry, I have never heard of noble gases or halogens. But are they all noble gases (what ever that means)? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7934: Nope never heard of it or him (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7938: My head just exploded. Tough Oli. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7929: I went with "otter", "ace", "inch" and "rod" being new words when you put a "p" in front. Was so blinded that I didn't see the actual answer! Nice grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7939: Holidays finish tomorrow. Damn. Back to reality. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #7560: (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7935: I typed "halogens" and "noble gases" too. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #6396: not one correct (8 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #7564: mind has gone (8 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #7563: the memorys going (8 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #7562: some old names here (8 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #7560: getting harder (8 years, 5 months ago)

Rob @ #7559: (8 years, 5 months ago)

elgin red @ #7559: (8 years, 5 months ago)

Phil @ #7559: easy for an old man (8 years, 5 months ago)

Brendan @ #7564: Got the connection, didnt get the initial groupings though! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Brendan @ #7563: That one was fun! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Brendan @ #7562: I struggled with the Easton grouping connection. For shame. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Brendan @ #7560: The grid misunderstood the description I entered for the teenager one, its a travesty. Can I get my money back? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Brendan @ #7559: As Big Daddy once said..... (8 years, 5 months ago)

Ewan @ #7898: Easy but enjoyable (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7939: Surfing,gardening,wining,gridding...what a busy life! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7939: Nice one!thanks! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7938: Formidable,,,well done! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #7935: Haha, had me desperately trying to remember my periodic table :P Would be nice if it accepted "noble gases" and "halogens" instead of just the group numbers, though? (8 years, 5 months ago)

leighton @ #7559: Should have done better! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Magpie @ #7935: Horribly tricky today Think unless you are a scientist, thank you (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7934: Have you heard the Tom Lehrer song,Thinks?the elements? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Abna @ #7906: Good one! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7929: Oli, you are the man. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7934: There is a Part 2 of this aswell! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Amy @ #7925: No worries, Destrii :-) (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7898: This was a bit one-paced and it went a bit too far with crossovers bearing in mind the time limit but it was nicely constructed and enjoyable even though I didn't manage to solve it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7932: I bet that everyone trys brother,sister,mother,father but they are totally in different groups. Well done (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7929: I knew there was a 'man' group I thought it was antman, fireman, clergyman and sandman. You got me! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #2843: Oh, I love this. Bands group brutally brilliant, I got it on the grounds that Emus can't be anything else with 4 seconds to spare. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #7925: @Amy - absolutely right, my bad :P brain melted and I forgot the difference between French and Spanish (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7928: It is indeed! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7928: Tried to set a grid after surfing in the rain in the Atlantic and then having a wine or two. Ooooops. Mind you I still think it's a mother of a grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7928: I thought it was deliberate...to confuse with the others! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues. @ #7928: SharkeyH you are so correct a complete waffle by me (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7927: oh what empty lives we live where thunder has not been made known to us. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Magpie @ #7924: Well done Think, the links were fairly straightforward to spot but so many overlaps made this tricky and I scored 0! Game on to you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7892: Yes, I liked this one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7928: Supper Furry Animals threw me off. I'll forgive you as you have good music taste though. Nice grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7907: I think it's a mistake anyone could make - there is a thin line between tragedy and comedy and they all end up as history. The thing to learn is don't assume what is on the internet is true! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7927: Lion O is a cartoon lion in a show called the thundercats. Search it! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7927: Tough. Not sure what Lion O is? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Amy @ #7925: Good one. Although si is "if" in French, not "yes" ! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7892: Very good...really liked this one :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7894: Some very obscure ones in this one :( (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7896: Good and funny...a nice combination :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7925: si group was a treat, knew there was a mountain link but couldn't work out the other group. school and element groups straightforward. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7925: You had a cunning plan,did you not? Good one! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7925: Nicely constructed. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7925: Very well put together; highly enjoyable (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7924: Good grid. Had me guessing. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7907: It is surprising,isn't it? Doesn't spoil the grid! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7924: Sorry, I realize that I've put Rose twice. Also the America and glass next to the houses is to give you a clue. :( (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7907: Sorry, I look these on a website and it said Pericles was a history. So and I didn't know that it was a comedy. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7920: That's true! (8 years, 5 months ago)

bp @ #7685: Roosevelt needs an s in the puzzle (8 years, 5 months ago)

monts42 @ #7896: thanks guys! (8 years, 5 months ago)

monts42 @ #7920: i made this 1! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7915: virtually impossible. :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Spiff @ #7907: But even prouder if you knew Pericles was a comedy? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7901: Good grid, would be nice if it accepted "quantities" "amounts" etc. for the "plenty" clue...on which point, Plenty means an abundance /more than enough/more than adequate etc. so not quite the same thing. Enjoyable none the less :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7906: very good...some nice red herrings :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7907: Willie would be proud of you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7906: the dog group had me stumped, annoyed with myself. enjoyable grid though. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7905: more than one 'unique' answer for the grid. could have solved it a few different ways so fails the essence of the game. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7882: Mr. Tips all the words may not be needed, and of this we can both agree although it is simply an observation on your behalf, however I decided when I was typing the clues that a surfeit of words was exactly what was required which is an equally valid but different opinion. Regardless I thank you anyway. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Abi @ #7901: As said by Mr Tips, that's not what penultimate means, you're better off saying that they have metals hidden at the start. Also would be nice if it accepted elements as well as metals, seeing as all of them are. (8 years, 5 months ago)

pissssssssss @ #7912: poooooooooooooooooooo (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7907: I liked this...but unsure of your classification of Pericles...May confuse others too! (8 years, 5 months ago)

k2k @ #7905: only one I have completed. Hurray. Well done Thinks (8 years, 5 months ago)

Pugs @ #7902: Yes,a bit random! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Tips @ #7882: Just for a tip: Koala Marsupial Dingo shorten it to Marsupial. Grammar School boy shorten to Grammar School Costa Rican Coffee shorten to Costa Rica A Very Near Thing shorten to Near Thing The Art House Theatre shorten to The Art House. Some of the words are not needed (8 years, 5 months ago)

Magpie @ #7898: Nice to make all the links body parts. Lots of overlaps so satisfying tricky to do. I failed miserably ! Thank you (8 years, 5 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7898: Fun grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Tricky @ #7902: You are dreadful at this game but I do have to admire your Donald Trump comment (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7901: I enjoyed it. thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Pug @ #7901: Just a bit Confused,but ok! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Tips @ #7901: Penultimate means second to last letter, not last letter. And Goldie wouldn't be right because it would be Golde.. The S group is a bit vague. But good grid, apart from the errors. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Sam @ #7899: Oh Lord...so obvious when you see the solutions! But gazillions of (what I wrongly guessed as) potential connections had me defeated by the clock. Well done. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7896: Brilliant. Even taking into account Terf's observation. Made me smile. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7898: Enjoyed it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7899: Great grid. I struggled because the last film I saw was Mary Poppins.... Very fine effort SharkeyH (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7899: Great grid. Well constructed and entertaining. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Terf @ #7895: Scrub that - I'm an idiot. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Terf @ #7895: Who or what is a 'gregory bunk'? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Terf @ #7896: Genius except for the misspelling of thingummybob. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7881: I guess she is a creature of the imagination? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7893: Thankyou! I should have been able to work that out.good ideas. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7893: sorry words which can start hand handspan, handbag, etc (8 years, 5 months ago)

Sagres @ #7882: Smasher. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7893: I started ok but ..I don't understand the precede line.Help me Oli? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Darfon @ #7881: Who is Sue Deirdre Smith? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Darfon @ #7887: Good grid but what does 'line no / line yes' mean? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Pondrev @ #7891: I think you need to provide real words or terms as clues. How about whippet and Waverley Station instead of the two made up words? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Magpie @ #7892: Excellent Think, very clever indeed. I could see the links but too many overlaps for me to get right. Thank you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7892: Agree with Blues,Thankyou! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7892: Very Good. I think it's your best yet. Well done Thinks!!! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7882: Marilyn... Marvellous. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7891: Well Oli I live and learn... I've fished all over the place and I had never heard of one of the connections. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7887: The cloth connection.... All 4 have drug undertones. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7883: It works....but crossovers? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7887: what did you think were drug references? (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7887: This is a mixture of a bit of easy stuff with a great line . I find your grids in general difficult and sometimes I'm not too sure about your spelling but they are always interesting . (8 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #7652: Great effort, good fun. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7887: Top grid. I got one of the rows correct for the totally wrong reason. I thought they were drug related! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7882: I saw Sun but got distracted by thoughts of Marilyn and page three and missed the others ( as you probably intended). Cunning! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7881: Don't worry. Even with the unintentional elements it wasn't as hard as your previous one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7882: Thanks Blues! Great idea,my brain just not quick enough! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7879: Very tough Oli. Clicked away for about seven hours! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7879: Very tough Oli. Clicked away for about seven hours! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7882: Oli & the Wiz. I thought it was either going to be very easy or impossible. It depends if you get the first connection and then you are away. They are all connected because they are all in the sky... sort of.... ish.. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7882: That should have been true, but it still beat me! Why connected? But good one! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7882: If you had stuck one of these groups in another grid it would have been great but having four groups which have in essence the same theme makes for an easy grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7872: Football not accepted biscuits not accepted Mars chocolates not accepted (8 years, 5 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7871: I was going to type biscuits but changed my answer to cookies. Incorrect apparently. * sigh* (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7881: sorry folk, screwed this one up. unless you're a huge trig fan (in which case...you are welcome sweet cheeks!) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7874: 5 beers later did it again. Got it wrong again still loved it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Amy @ #7873: *BENEDICT, not Benjamin, Arnold *CAESAR, not Cesar (unless dog food brand!) But a quick and fun grid. Liked it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7874: "S Baldrick" made my day! (8 years, 5 months ago)

andyt @ #7872: pets equally good answer for animals football teams not accepted (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7873: Nicely confusing and at limits of my knowledge, I had at least four goes at it before failing on two of the rows. Is the Surname for Arnold correct? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7871: I learnt that Maryland are biscuits... Thank you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7866: Toast is spot on with the advice. The aim is to baffle without being to reliant on obscure knowledge. Nice effort. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7862: 'Tis the idea Destril, smoke and mirrors. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Pup @ #7871: Learn! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Badger @ #7872: Should allow Football teams (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7872: Try learning from oli's suggestions. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7866: It's surprisingly tricky to set an easy grid which isn't too obvious. Don't worry too much about answer acceptance. Even experienced setters often come in for criticism on that score. But Oli's other advice is good. I reckon if you can get in two lots of five confusable items you hit the jackpot. Six is too much for most humans to sort out in three minutes. Good luck. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7835: Excellent. You had me wrong "footed " trying dog leg and trench foot (WW1 for the youngsters). Bull nose is also a stair by the way. Well done again. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Pup @ #7866: Good advice from Oli.Dont give up (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7866: you need more overlaps between the groups so that there are some red herrings. also the answers it accepted were useless. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #7862: Brutal but very nice. I read Blake as Peter Blake, who also fits the set...! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7865: Expanded my knowledge a little! Good one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7865: Yes, good knowledge! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7865: Excellent grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7862: 0 points had noticed gladstone as a PM but missed the others. as close as I got. excellent grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7862: Hi, ramuz,missed you! (8 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7862: Very good. Had to sit and look at it for a while first. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7862: Cheers,Blues! Good one again! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7849: I guess that explains the fact that "Old testament books" didn't work. otherwise a good grid. Thanks (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7852: Liked this one :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7860: I now know about another cartoon! Very eclectic mix. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7857: Indeed,,and Hyde a bit of a cop out! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Terry and Joan @ #7715: Good fun grid again. (8 years, 5 months ago)

lucas @ #7857: very easy (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7852: Yes,thanks Blues!good fun! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Badger @ #7852: Nice grid, good links and overlaps (8 years, 5 months ago)

Joan and Terry @ #7761: Brain teaser but fun (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7849: I still enjoyed it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Queenie @ #2740: Agreed with the others! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7851: Nicely inventive. Good one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Queenie @ #6392: Just no. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7832: Well done we love your comedy ambassador Henning Wehn. (8 years, 5 months ago)

SpaPirate @ #7849: Apologies, button pushed whilst editing- game screwed up! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #1941: Loving the BSG connection (though it was very specific on what it accepted, didn't take "NASA missions") (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7841: I got all the rows except the first four. Very tough for moi. Fine explanation and good looking grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Queenie @ #6101: Did not get the fonts! Ariel threw me. Good one (8 years, 5 months ago)

Queenie @ #7750: Highly enjoyable! I liked the skeleton group. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Queenie @ #7773: This was a good one! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Queenie @ #7823: I agree! Spent too long wondering what 'somthing' was. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Joan and terry @ #7835: Good one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

sumisu @ #6647: Same problem as "The Lad" (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7830: The grid needs more variety but don't be put off by the odd negative comment . (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7829: Yes I got the hint about topical. There goes three days reading up about Brexit. And no points! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7828: Shame on you for ignoring the Kinks' Autumn Almanac but thanks for some clear explanations ( for the other gridders obviously). (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7827: There is some clever stuff here . Won't compete with Blues and Wiz for puns but I like the style, don't have the knowledge. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7826: Some good stuff . (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7825: Lets hope some day world peas will come. Until then happy gridding. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7821: Made me think. Now I think I don't know much. Thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7831: Ah ,thanks toast,that's helpful!wondered for a while... (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7831: Wiz, if you click the symbol to the right of the quality and difficulty rating for the grids in the "browse grids" list you go straight into the comments page for that grid. To report a bug go to the instructions in the About section reached from the home page. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7841: Now that's a clever grid, be proud! (8 years, 5 months ago)

No brainier @ #7840: Indeed it is, how clever and surprising,thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

lolman 63 @ #7840: amazing (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7831: How did you post the first comment toast? I have wondered how to report this! (8 years, 5 months ago)

What at @ #7831: I don't think it does open for anyone! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7831: I couldn't get this grid to open. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Ewan @ #7796: Lovely idea but I think there needs to be consistency in the clues, e.g., four surnames, not a mixture of middle names and surnames. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7839: Nice one Oli. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Ewan @ #7833: Anagrams are fine but they have to be real names, words or phrases. Who are Saul Sleg and Reg Sunn? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Badger @ #7823: Try checking your spelling, 'somthing'? Made it very confusing and I found the connections tenuous (8 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #7715: Fun Quiz Blues. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Comic Book Guy @ #7829: Doctor J. Glad you took it in the spirit intended! (8 years, 5 months ago)

BillyBaloo @ #7796: Lovely lit links (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7813: I liked 7809 a lot better: for me this was either you knew it (Stewie and Lisa Groups) or you didn't (the other two). (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7809: Excellent (I hardly got anywhere despite having come up with a variant of the sprouts group over christmas!) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7829: Apologies Comic Book Guy, on the basis of this feedback I think I won't bother submitting my Star Trek Deep Space 9 grid then! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7828: Cheers Besty. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7828: Newpuzzler it looks like it's placed the explanation in the answer option... Or maybe It's a mess up on my behalf but it wasn't intentional. Give yourself an extra point. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7828: Excellent your majesty (8 years, 5 months ago)

sumisu @ #3345: such impressive, much wow (8 years, 5 months ago)

sumisu @ #3897: Also gave 2 correct answers with different wording and it wasn't accepted (8 years, 5 months ago)

Gill @ #7677: Answers were recognized without needing to be exact. Better type of grid more like the T.V. series (8 years, 5 months ago)

Gill @ #7662: words need to match exactly for points for the connection. (8 years, 5 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #7828: seriously? It won't take 'winter', only 'winter...'. A bit ungenerous! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Comic Book Guy @ #7829: Worst Grid Ever. Rest assured I was immediately on social media registering my disgust! (8 years, 5 months ago)

James @ #7813: It didn't accept Bob's burgers! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7830: Terrible grid. The items could be arranged in so many different ways there couldn't possibly be one unique answer to the grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7829: I was completely bamboozled until I saw the word lannister and then realised the whole grid was Game of Thrones related. I've never seen it. So Zero points for me. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Sam @ #7830: *discuss, not "disScuss" Otherwise, an interestingly different grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7829: I tried to warn about topicality - but appreciate it is a bit niche! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7829: When I revealed the answers I was even more confused because I didn't know what "Westeros" meant... I do now. As you can guess I scored exactly zero but it got me looking up hits by the Happy Mondays (Step On was one of theirs) and that can't be a bad thing. Good one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Ewan @ #7819: Parp (8 years, 5 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7828: Great grid (8 years, 5 months ago)

have a word @ #7819: Utterly rubbish! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7827: I learnt daiquiris...don't know about Blues (8 years, 5 months ago)

Jeeves @ #7828: Spiffin Blues. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7827: what did you learn? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7827: I learnt something! Good effort Oli. Thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7826: Almost but no cigar. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7821: Tough grid but nicely put together. Thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Tricky @ #7815: Very poor. You need to have actual words in the grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7819: I thought the idea was to link the words or form some sort of connection, but is it a cunning plan to link them by not having anything that links them? How about these four... Could you use them? Walnut, Garage, Puffer Fish and (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7818: I didn't have a Danny La Rue. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7825: Top gridding. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7825: Agree,well done you! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7825: Very good grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7816: My life is now one huge break from Coronation Street. In the words of The Who I'm Free.Best of luck and keep finding time for the grids which you do so well. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7815: Something went wrong so I couldn't see all the answers but I liked what I could see. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Beetle @ #7819: Why not not do whole grid of unlinked words? (8 years, 5 months ago)

blob @ #7818: how are you (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7721: Erm...what is a life collie??? (8 years, 5 months ago)

dave @ #7810: don't play like that (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hubby @ #7811: I like the concept but a few slight issues. The nuclear fuels are actually radioactive isotopes which can be used as nuclear fuels. Also, the scientists did more than just work in the field of nuclear physics, maybe the unified theory of relativity!! But I am being picky, so sorry. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Jank @ #7802: It's rare that I disagree with Toast but I like the imaginative use of single and separate words. (8 years, 5 months ago)

MS @ #1586: Celestial bodies? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7808: Toast you are as correct as correct can be regarding the symbol for "ampersand" and "at". Well spotted. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7805: supermarkets link was a tough one to spot (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7802: Think, winston smith: character from 1984 deworm: verb meaning to take worms out of something caddisworm: a type of worm, technically lava of caddis fly orwell's 1984: a book called 1984 written by a man whose surname was orwell google: a search engine where you can search for things you don't know.

Rubens @ #7810: (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7809: Have another look at the advice on setting acceptable answers - if you used the stem bri you would not have disallowed bridge. But a good grid and you caught me out on the capitals. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7808: Way beyond me except I think your explanation mixed up the ampersand with the at sign. Forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm out of my depth but don't want to start doubting the little I thought I knew. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7807: You have made an effort to explain this but I think we need more so we can properly understand. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7805: Nice stuff. Suggest Fawlty should be accepted and characters was misspelt but a good one anyway. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7813: All four of these shows where created by Fox Broadcasting Company. Sorry if it was too hard for you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

pb @ #7812: worst puzzgrid ever (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7812: I got 9 seconds. Beat you by 1 second. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7802: Pretty good but not sure about the trend to mix single words with separate words as with goldsmith and Winston Smith, Think!!! 1984 and much of George Orwell is worth reading ( when older try Down and Out in Paris and London) but I still got the group wrong! (8 years, 5 months ago)

BeingSilly @ #7812: See if you can beat me! I got 10 seconds. How long did you take? (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7798: It was a struggle but if felt worthwhile. Could the languages relate to tribes as I guessed? Incidentally I was once marked right when I had no idea though no great problem there. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mogster @ #7808: Symbolically beautiful. Thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7809: Didn't know one of them Think!!! Enjoyed it. Thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #573: Think!!! It should really be "a" not "the" lady of the night as they are common. Nothing to get worked up about - in fact a charmingly old fashioned phrase. Good grid too. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7802: Think!!! Methinks you need to do a little bit of research and remember big brother is watching you! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7802: Who is Winston Smith, What's de worm, caddis worm and what is Orwell's 1984. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7807: don't understand the links even with the answer infant of me! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #7808: got them all except the tilde group. easy enough to separate the groups but the link there had me stumped. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7807: Completely and utterly flummoxed. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7798: Very Tough. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7795: Inventive and enjoyable. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mogsy @ #7795: Good decoy. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7798: Tougher than a very tough thing.... But oddly I got the connections but not the reasoning. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7795: Toast: if you ask me it was a stroke of genius, one of the names was part of the subterfuge, and it is a great song. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #573: What is 'The Lady Of The Night'. Why did you put well... you know...? (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #6637: Slip with Kennington Oval but it was clear enough and a clever grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7789: She's a bit obscure, I agree, and certainly more obscure than the others but you probably know her as Frau Farbissina from the Austin Powers films. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7795: Unfortunately the four names stood out too much but l loved the Janis Joplin line and I will check the lyrics. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7786: Because toast is toast. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7793: Splendidly ! (8 years, 5 months ago)

KitMit @ #7790: An enjoyable grid. Thanks for taking the time to do it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

KitMit @ #7793: Yeah, get doing those grids at the weekend. Let the homework go. Sure what did an education ever do for anyone other than get them a decent job and a good standard of living? I enjoyed that grid. Keep them coming (when you have free time). (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7791: Overall too obscure for me and I'm not fully convinced about the German line (ring and finger might have been better than house and mouse?) But there were some good features. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7793: Nice one! But don't neglect your homework! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7793: Sorry for not doing any grids. I have been at school all week. I will try and make as many grids as I can this weekend. Hope you like this one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7786: Toast got it right HOW??????. I support Blackburn (8 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #7792: Three great rows. One beyond my knowledge. Good effort. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #7791: Simply impossible for me. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7789: Never heard of Mindy Sterling but I think it's a fantastic name and regardless of the correct answer I think we should give all the prize money to Dangermouse. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #7790: V.G. Yummy. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Geoff @ #7785: Parp (8 years, 5 months ago)

Geoff @ #7785: Parp (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7789: Great work. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7789: I was going for actresses - Julia Stiles, Prunella Scales, Sharon Stone and Mindy Sterling. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7790: Sauce recipe and entrails in the same grid must be a first. Fun grid with good explanations. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7789: Enjoyable so you are forgiven for following the recent trend to footballing themes. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7788: Thanks for the warning . Of course I thought it might be a bluff so I checked anyway! (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7786: I'd say Blackburn. (8 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #7785: I tried a similar idea with consecutive letters back in grid 4003. Unfortunately I misspelled one word and got a deserved drubbing from one gridder as you can see in the comments! I liked your grid . (8 years, 5 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7790: Nice simple grid - with free recipe! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #1557: Loved the groups! Bit overly specific on what it'd accept (didn't take Railway Series, for example) but excellent connections. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #7736: Didn't accept occupations for jobs/trades... frustrating. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7789: Tough but cleverly constructed. Nice one. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Ewan @ #7789: A minor point in a good grid - it should be 'The Streets'. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Jank @ #7787: The perfect balance of challenging but achievable. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Besty @ #7785: Tough (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dobby @ #7751: Excellent (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7786: I'm with SharkeyH I think it must be Tranmere. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7787: Brilliant puzz. Figured the theme early doors but still got Hampton'd by a shoal of managerial herrings. What a lovely tactic. (8 years, 5 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7786: I dunno Think!!! Tranmere City? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7787: Took me until the last 30 secs to realise the theme, good grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7786: Really easy for me, I LOVE football. I support one of the teams in the grid. if you want, try and guess which one! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7788: Never in a transfer season would I have got them... Very knowledgeable. Good Stuff. (8 years, 5 months ago)

alfdaly @ #7773: devilish great (8 years, 5 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7788: Apologies to all non football fans. Hopefully I warned you off by changing by user name to submit this grid. (8 years, 5 months ago)

BillySugger @ #7787: No own goal with this grid (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7750: Good grid...didn't get the x-factor clue but that's probably due to my age :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #7754: I would recommend "verb" as a suitable answer to the "_ing" set or something similar. Good grid though :) (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7787: Love it. (8 years, 5 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7786: I worked it out anyway. Good quiz. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7786: Please accept my apologies. I had submitted it then realised the two teams with the same names are not interchangeable. this nwill mean correct answers are shown as incorrect. ooooops! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7767: Good grid, I thought I understood the groups but could not understand the answers. Liked it though. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Killer Manjaro @ #7767: Very good grid! (8 years, 5 months ago)

i got lost in the woods @ #7767: harry enjoyed it (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mogster @ #7697: Super grid. Good fun (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7778: Think!!! The fact that you didn't know what these things are is part of the process, look them up. As it happens I didn't know what a Judoka was called before I read it although I knew what they did. All of the 16 sportsmen (women) with the one exception would be known by the majority of sport loving people... I will have a go at setting a puzzle that might appeal to your age group. The point about a lot of similarities being confusing is correct. It's meant to be. You as the solver have to decide what differentiates the subjects into 4 groups. It's a themed puzzle... Hope this helps. (8 years, 5 months ago)

... @ #7638: drinks = spirits/liquer (8 years, 5 months ago)

melanie @ #2247: Doesn't time fly (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7778: I find it confusing when there is lots of similarities. When I see that I don't have a clue where to start. Never heard of: Judoka, Three day eventer, National hunt jockey, Skeet shooter and Hunter. So I never would have got any. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7781: Blues, are you welsh (8 years, 5 months ago)

Y I Mann @ #7781: Alter? At least check your spelling. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7781: I like it. Clever mix of the men of Cymru. Da iawn, thanks. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Badger @ #7777: Good grid but why the capital 'P' in poppies? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7778: Mister Tom I'll give you 8 out of 10 for your observation. Cheers. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7778: Very nice idea - only comment is the judoka group,could also be for points awarded by judges. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7777: Enjoyed it. Clever looking grid. Thank you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7776: Didn't know one of the rows and couldn't guess another. Nice grid. Cheers. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Me @ #5277: wtf? (8 years, 5 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7775: The Simpsons characters and actors with Smith I got easily. But I have never heard of Lou Reed, Velvet Underground or Hackney districts. I don't live anywhere near London. Good tricks with The Simpsons characters. I think The Simpsons is the best show EVER. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7772: Badger... Good question, probably because I was drunk! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Wiz @ #7753: I see! (8 years, 5 months ago)

Bowie @ #7764: Five connections! VG. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7766: I tried and tried and tried and failed. I looked at the answers and tried it again and still failed. "Fiendish" is a little mild as a description. Thank you. (8 years, 5 months ago)

alex @ #2296: Easy easy completed in less than a minute. (8 years, 5 months ago)

Blues @ #7753: Begay... Dwelling? Really? Wasn't really correct. I just tried it again and it stumped me. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7763: Liked it. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7762: Your best to date. When I was ten I could barely understand quadratic equations. Well done. Try to think what ten year olds understand you will beat us all. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7761: I'm in a daze. (Geddit?) very good (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7761: Testing and informative (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jackdaw @ #7763: You will when you grow older. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7763: This one was hard for me. Most of them I haven't heard of. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7762: I think of what adults will find difficult. What ever comes to mind I try to make a group of 4 or 5 (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7759: Good grid. (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7758: Well done. (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7752: Nicely done. (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7750: Good one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7749: Think the phrase is past master but a good grid particularly the national anthem line. (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7747: Nice idea for the moon line even if not entirely accurate. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7762: Very good grid; well done! (8 years, 6 months ago)

SpaPirate @ #7759: Shop soiled are goods and are in less than perfect condition; e.g. no packaging, button missing, loose threads etc. These goods generally are sold at a discount. (8 years, 6 months ago)

bert @ #7759: good grid but shop soiled.? (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7740: Enjoyed this one especially the tree line (no pun intended). (8 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #7762: You know a lot for a ten year old!good one! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jolly @ #7760: Is nice! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7760: Fine grid. Enjoyed it although I failed with my spelling of the chaps name. Thank you. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7758: Very good. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7757: Good effort. Have a look at the tip that is given about how the answers are perceived. Eg "cat" would allow Cat, cats, cartoon cats etc... Just a tip. Keep it going. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7760: Super grid. Perfect compromise of difficulty and fun. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ewan @ #7754: Think!!! Stop pretending that you are 10 years old. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pseudonym @ #7758: Great! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Carby @ #6833: Awesome grid (8 years, 6 months ago)

j random user @ #7744: Hopeless grid. No overlaps or red herrings, and the answer matching was equally rubbish. Doesn't accept "anagrams" for the anagrams, and I have no idea what I would have to enter to get a correct answer for "words that don't look like how they are said" (8 years, 6 months ago)

j random user @ #7756: Ok grid, but whicker and twelth? (8 years, 6 months ago)

GridCritic3000 @ #7756: Good number of red herrings as usual, but try and vary the types of connection - its more interesting when all 4 groups are not just "....X" or "X....". Try to use word-based examples (i.e. anagrams, words within words), types of objects (e.g. capital cities, British rock bands, river names etc). Other than that, good puzzle :) (8 years, 6 months ago)

j random user @ #7757: Good grid with some nice red herrings and overlaps. But badly let down by the group answers. Didn't accept onomatopoeia, fight or cat, despite all three being in the given descriptions. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7754: Ewan - Don't be picky (8 years, 6 months ago)

stevemuseum @ #7756: Fun grid! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Alansioux @ #7750: Very nice. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Alansioux @ #7753: Not bad. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7757: Hope you like it. This took me half an hour to think of. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7756: Another awesome grid. It got me thinking. Well Done. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Wiz @ #7754: But ok for a ten year old? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ewan @ #7754: 'Fenceing' isn't a word (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7753: Pretty easy, but good fun. Would not accept dwelling as an answer for flats. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7754: Poor (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7755: Good Grid; shame that correct answers not accepted. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Destrii @ #7752: Didn't accept Cumbria :( but lovely red herrings! (8 years, 6 months ago)

alex @ #7754: Weak especially ing clue. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tricky @ #7754: When are you going to start being honest. What is happening to this site? No red herrings, ridiculous clues (8 years, 6 months ago)

Fred33 @ #7738: Yowser! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7755: Two easy, two testers. You just need to work on the words accepted as answers. Good fun. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7754: Lovely grid, da iawn ( a bit of Welsh for you.) (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7752: Nice and topical. (peak district too?) well done. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #3712: I was wondering about , Jurassic car south hyde. I didn't know central And the flux, Travolta, swatted, tampered. I guessed at John. Good red herrings (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7750: Very good... (except I didn't have a clue about one of the rows!) Improving all the time. Keep it up. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7751: Worked out the three of the themes (Explorers, Space Missions and Greek Gods) but couldn't finish it - good one (8 years, 6 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7749: Good grid - made me think. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7748: That was hard for me. I only got the bay group. I would give this grid a 9/10. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Moggy @ #7715: Yes Blues another nice one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Moggy @ #7713: Cleverer than a clever thing. (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7713: Imaginative (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7747: Good effort. (8 years, 6 months ago)

k2k @ #7746: very good, my brain too slow these days (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7747: Sorry I was not sure. (8 years, 6 months ago)

stevemuseum @ #7741: Great grid. Well done. (8 years, 6 months ago)

stevemuseum @ #7748: Good grid. Didn't get the surnames one, but enjoyed the rest. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7744: Interesting grid. I rate it 6 (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7746: One of your better ones. Thank you. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7741: Very nice. Thank you. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7746: But I don't mind any feedback to make it better, and how to improve it. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7746: Hope you like it. Any swearing, meanies, and horrible comments will be reported (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7744: 'have a word' you just said that to a 10 year old (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7744: 'have a word' you just said that to a 10 year old (8 years, 6 months ago)

Badger @ #7710: To Bowie - 'Moan' was one of the choices so you can hardly criticise that it was rejected as the answer (8 years, 6 months ago)

have a word @ #7743: 🔔 (8 years, 6 months ago)

Poodle @ #7743: Wow,very impressive,erudite. (8 years, 6 months ago)

have a word @ #7744: I Think!!! you're a bellend (8 years, 6 months ago)

Badger @ #7721: You are joking Think!!! ? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Poodle @ #7744: But it's your puzzle,that's what I meant (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7744: I don't know what you both are trying to say (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7744: I was barking up the wrong tree with the doggies. Decent attempt. Thank you (8 years, 6 months ago)

Poodle @ #7744: Did you indeed! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7744: P.S I got it in 11 seconds (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7744: Hope you enjoy it. Rate it out of 10. DON'T BE MEAN. If there's anything wrong tell me nicely. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Moggy @ #7740: Liked it. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7741: Liked the weather related clues. Struggled with the family (Only knew one of them!) Kept me guessing though. Thanks. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Kit @ #7741: Formidable,thank you, cleverly done! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Flutterby @ #7739: Agree with the comments about answers. I entered swimming, bands with numbers, wave and George. All were deemed incorrect (8 years, 6 months ago)

bert @ #7739: decent effort but answers need to be more flexible 7/10 (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7742: You need to add more options for the explanations."Anagrams" = incorrect. "Musical notes" = incorrect, "Hidden numbers" = incorrect. I'm not sure what you mean by "words that look like they are said". Is there a "don't" missing? However, please don't let this put you off. Keep going! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7742: Hope you enjoy it. Rate it out of 10. DON'T BE MEAN. If there's anything wrong tell me nicely. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7739: Sorry. : ( (8 years, 6 months ago)

Celia Denten @ #2096: Me and Suzy liked this one! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Zoe From Debenhams @ #7721: It was a good quiz! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dentenator @ #7729: V Diff (8 years, 6 months ago)

Zoe From Debenhams @ #7733: I think you need to make the answers work you know (8 years, 6 months ago)

Celia Denten @ #7739: Me and Suzy thought the answers did not match very well. I typed waves it was incorrect... (8 years, 6 months ago)

have a word @ #7733: Seriously have a word bell! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7738: Good. Nice red herring. (8 years, 6 months ago)

have a word! @ #7739: sort your answers bell! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7739: Good, easy and fun grid; bit disappointed that correct answers not accepted. I rate it as 7 (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7739: I incorrect for all of them. "Swimming", "Bands missing numbers", "George", "Wave". (8 years, 6 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7739: Good grid, but need a bit of work on the terms you used for links. I got incorrect for "All called George", "Methods of Swimming" and "number in band title" (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7739: Hope you enjoy it. Rate it out of 10. DON'T BE MEAN. If there's anything wrong tell me nicely. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7711: I am not sure if I like how you put north, south, east, west. I bet a lot of people did that. Good Trick! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Kop @ #7707: Should be jank (8 years, 6 months ago)

Kop @ #7707: Jane,you are a card. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7721: Line, Control, Collie, Guard = could it be Life........ Lifeline, Life control, life collie, lifeguard. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7707: Has Dade forgotten you are a coeliac? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dade @ #7707: The words to guess were too hard :( (8 years, 6 months ago)

PooSniffPickle @ #7737: A lovely endeavor :) (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jolly @ #7733: NIce grid but why is everyone obsessed with Pixar Movies? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dangermouse @ #7730: Enjoyed this one. Thanks. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7733: Fairly easy but should have accepted Signs of the Zodiac (8 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #7733: Star signs as well! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Thunk @ #7733: Ok so difficulty wise its not going to score very well, if i was to give any kind of advice going forward it would be to insert a few red herrings, rather than start with a group of 4 look for a group of 5 and work from there. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7733: The reason you supply for the connections should try and cover all bases. eg "Star sign" was incorrect as was palindrome. Enjoyed it though. 7 (8 years, 6 months ago)

William T Jack @ #7719: Slightly let down by the backwards words, otherwise flawless. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pufferfish @ #7733: At least 8...nice grid! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Think!!! @ #7733: Hope you enjoy it. Rate it out of 10. DON'T BE MEAN. If there's anything wrong tell me nicely. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7722: Nice one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7717: I'd clean forgotten about composite particles, perhaps its because I'm a gardener. Excellent. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7729: Echo that - needed another 10 seconds damnit. Very clever ambiguity with the double word clues (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7720: Very nicely layered deception here (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7721: Same as Mr Tom apart from 'beginner' and 'but no more than that'. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Kit @ #7729: Very entertaining,Thankyou,,,didn't get to finish,but enjoyed! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jake @ #7726: This is the hardest puzzle ever tried (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7717: Phanar phanar.... (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7719: As an avid cricketer that drove me mad....good work... (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7719: Stumped Hampton and no mistake. Top puzz. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7720: Decent puzz, and the Florence line deceptively vague. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7721: Agree, an amuse-bouche of a grid, but still tasty. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7722: Medium at least! Lovely puzz. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Blue Sky @ #7697: Excellent again from old Blues (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7722: Easy but very good fun. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7721: Nice beginner puzzle, but no more than that (8 years, 6 months ago)

stevemuseum @ #7721: Good grid. Not too difficult. (8 years, 6 months ago)

stevemuseum @ #7719: Fiendish yes, but not impossible. A good brainteaser. (8 years, 6 months ago)

William T Jack @ #7717: FILTH. Very pleasing. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7717: did you hear the one about the dyslexic physicist? The criterion for the edifice group was hard to hit but otherwise a good one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7520: Really good one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Longhorn @ #7717: Very amusing! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7715: That's the idea Mister Tom. Fun. Not all of them have to make your head explode. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7715: Nice ideas here but I found it very straightforward to unpick for some reason - the identity of the four groups was too clear maybe, so if you remember V is a festival it falls apart nicely. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7715: Love it. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7703: Good grid . Loved the Knights of the Round Table. Minor quibble but Mr Kaye's name is Gorden not Gordon. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7576: Not sure what's going on here, but whatever it is it's not life as we know it Jim. (8 years, 6 months ago)

andyt @ #7709: tree resin seemed reasonable answer (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7715: Not hard..medium but good none the less. Fesitvals should be enough for Glaston group and surprised Charlie Brown not right for Peanuts group....good cross overs but manged to untangle (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jeanlin @ #7716: Only line I had correct was The Young Ones and I put Young Ones so no cigar. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Gazza @ #7715: Brilliant (8 years, 6 months ago)

Alice @ #7716: Damn - i put Young ones instead of The young ones (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7716: Gosh,undoubtedly good but obscure and outside my experience,especially gonad.-wise! (8 years, 6 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7715: Another nice one. Failed on my papal knowledge. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7715: Oh dear,not so easy for puffball (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7713: Very fine grid (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7712: Indeed, strong grid with a scorpion's sting in the Trump line. Sehr gut. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7580: Don't you listen to those bad boys. I thought it was lovely (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #7712: Tricky enough to be fun without being too difficult to be frustrating. Loved the crossovers and the group that wasn't. One the better grids - well cone (8 years, 6 months ago)

Seemly @ #7580: Oh dear,what a sad story!..are you ok? (8 years, 6 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #7712: Brilliant Alsatian group and very well explained. Agree with "Blues", nice to learn. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7697: You're sixteen.. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7713: Cheers HQ (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7711: Enjoyable.. But the trouble with false groups like this one is that it's very obvious what can and can't be in the group- so at best the solver will try them and discover they do't form a four. Fake groups are most effective when the solver gets convinced to go on a wild goose chase for a fifth or sixth member... Still good tho (8 years, 6 months ago)

rn @ #6233: "alm" and "arm" are not pronounced the same. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7697: A Hampton's dozen. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7713: One of the best grids Hampton's ever seen. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Teddy girl @ #7714: You have got the right idea ,Aaron! Well done! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Johnny 5 @ #7714: Lots of spelling mistakes but under the assumption that this was made by a child, good attempt. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hurri Kane @ #1174: This took me 13 seconds. Try and make your next one EASIER!!! Spaniel Sturridge Jammy Vardy Trickie Lambert Leo Smallcott (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pufferfish @ #7714: Well.... (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7714: Nice effort. (8 years, 6 months ago)

PuzzBrit @ #7580: I started crying when I saw all these comments. I am only 10 years old. This was my first grid I did. (8 years, 6 months ago)

fji @ #7711: meh (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pufferfish @ #3766: Only Connect has tricky ones too! Some people do like them,tho they defeat me. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ewan @ #3766: Making grids this difficult is a pointless exercise (8 years, 6 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #1053: Nice one. I was going to suggest that group one could also be seafood but I realised that I've never eaten a barnacle. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7710: Don't complain, but you could moan I guess! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7712: We live and learn. Fine grid. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jacob @ #7712: Great grid, with a very good false group hidden in there! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7710: Good answers went unrecognized! Too bad. Nice puzz otherwise. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7711: A breeze. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7710: I don't want to moan about the moan answer but I answered moan and I was rejected. Should I complain? Nice quiz. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7709: Fun grid (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7705: Tough but fun (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7709: Good Grid (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7703: Could not spot the Paddies. Good grid. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7705: Pretty tough. I could not work out the multi-lingual anagrams. Nice one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

PERNICKERTY @ #7696: Really enjoyed this one, one of the best. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tricky @ #7706: Not great (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ralph @ #7706: Pooh, I'm a genesis and I didn't get none of it (8 years, 6 months ago)

Freda @ #7698: Good crossovers! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7705: Not the setter's fault but I couldn't solve this because I took 'Ill' for the Roman number three, which is ironic given the anagram row. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7704: Hampton dislikes this grid. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7705: Lovely tricky grid! Some real puzzlers there. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7706: Quimbles questions this puzz. The 'recital' group is inconsistent, combining new words with compound nouns... Hampton disapproves. (8 years, 6 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7706: Letter B applies to group 1 as well as letter T (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7702: Nice one. Tested me. (8 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #7677: Was I wrong when I said they were all birds? They are all bands as well as birds. (8 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #7684: homophobes* (8 years, 6 months ago)

J @ #7684: I think you mean homophones, not homphobes. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Robram @ #3214: Definitions poor, as groups are easy but could easily be described as something different (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7700: Great Gridding! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7700: Two new words for my brain to save! VG. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Bowie @ #7697: Good fun and a bit off the wall (8 years, 6 months ago)

Yap @ #7699: (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7698: Nice one (8 years, 6 months ago)

rn @ #7698: decent grid, let down by overly restrictive answers; "informants" for example should be accepted for the group with Rat (8 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #7674: Enjoyed this, though the anagrams were beyond me in the time allowed. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7677: Very good. Thank you. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Michele @ #6089: Skewer and stalk are only homonyms of skua and stork if you speak a non-rhotic variety of English! Otherwise, I was very happy with the grid. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mrs T @ #7697: Well done a little bit different. I had an idea of the answers but didn't quite get there in time. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7685: Exacting puzz, though not such good recognition on the answers. Hampton wuz robbed. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7687: So much puzz Hampton couldn't concentrate on his lunch. Top stuff, very tricky indeed. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7689: Half-hearted puzz with just the one large and rather flappy herring. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7692: Hamptonically tricky grid. Nicely obscured herrings. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #7686: Wow. I loved it! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pedanticus @ #7684: Homophobes ??? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Z @ #7686: O (8 years, 6 months ago)

Destrii @ #7684: Rivers have valleys, so there are several possible crossovers in those two groups - Thames, Nile ,Test, Wye... :( (8 years, 6 months ago)

Feodum @ #7681: Excellent red herring! Almost caught me with the misspelled Trillian though ;) (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7676: Remember our time restraints....very clever and intricate but needed more time to solve it (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7479: Good grid...maybe Medium once you get it though... (8 years, 6 months ago)

Nina @ #7677: I chose any easy one to see how easy it was and did manage to do it. It is Goodson ones ego to be able to complete a Wall! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Nina @ #7673: First time I have done one on line. Takes time to take it all in, but enjoyable (8 years, 6 months ago)

SharkeyH @ #7680: Nice one. I didn't think I'd have a chance with the Welsh references but I got there. I thought the largest cities were football teams that play in the english league, which also happens to be true. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7677: Stephen Hawking,,but otherwise good, (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7668: I didn't! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7668: I think you may have missed my little joke. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7675: Easy but fun. Ireland was not accepted as an answer. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7675: Very good (8 years, 6 months ago)

pooch @ #7675: Awesome (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #5573: I never enjoy the names grids too much,tho can see its clever! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7666: Testing and enjoyable (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7668: I think Blues missed that one! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7668: What is an 'eye private'? Is it something to do with being cockeyed? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7672: Happy Easter Mr. Tom. Enjoyed it. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pufferfish @ #7672: Happy easter to you too,Mister Tom! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7667: Skating the boundary of permissibility given that you could swap sardine with something and still get two reasonable groups. Good idea tho (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7668: Pseudonym I checked your checking and it checks out ok methinks. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Pseudonym @ #7668: Precede means go before (8 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #7668: Love it (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mrs T @ #85: Christmas Jones was my husbands Grandads name also a Bond character (The World is not Enough). (8 years, 6 months ago)

Robbo @ #7665: Like this one. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tom Mead @ #7669: Good grid (8 years, 6 months ago)

Robbo @ #7664: Nice grid but you could have given a more detailed answer for the pop group with numbers category. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #7665: Really liked this one - different. Wasted a lot of time trying to find something that fit with crocodile though - doh! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Steve @ #7639: V Good (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7665: Just needs a bit of thinking Tricky. A quiz within a quiz. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Chris @ #7666: Smart (8 years, 6 months ago)

me too @ #7237: what is goal ball?????? (8 years, 6 months ago)

I can count @ #7165: Just checked on IMDB, and 3 out of 4 of the "one word" films, actually have 2 words. Perhaps you should have checked beforehand too. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tricky @ #7665: Oh dear. I feel a bit mean as I can see all the work here but wtf? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7665: Thanks. (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7636: Got lucky with the Johns which made it easier but stripes had me fooled...good work (8 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #7641: Footwear should have been ok for 'types of shoe'? Thanks for creating the grid though... (8 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #7664: What's wrong with Bands with numbers in their name? (8 years, 6 months ago)

SteveH @ #7656: Cranberry?! Not so 'tricky' (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Magoo @ #7664: "Cover versions" is a bit vague. I'm sure many people know/prefer the originals and so wouldn't consider these to be covers. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7663: It works, but very straightforwardly. For example "Maundy" and "Sonntag" are likely to be anything else - they would be good red herrings if they were something else, but everything here was rather as it initially appeared. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7663: Well constructed. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7663: A lot of crossovers but I think it works ok!happy easter! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tricky @ #7663: This doesn't quite work but I can't work out why 😀 (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7661: Great Grid, think though that meat should be accepted for sausage. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Skin @ #7580: Parp (8 years, 6 months ago)

swaggy person @ #7580: no (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tricky @ #7656: Cran? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7653: I agree that the 'T' row was a bit of a letdown compared to the cleverness of the other three but full marks for trying something novel. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7655: Good puzzle (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7656: Nice puzzle with some good red herrings. Defeated by my unfamiliarity with Ms Swift's oeuvre. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7653: "T" mmm I was just trying to add something a bit different other than numerical. Thank you for the advice. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7655: Good grid...but...boarding... (8 years, 6 months ago)

TongTing @ #7653: Just to be clear i am aware that they all do start with the letter T, but really, kind of spoiled it for me. (8 years, 6 months ago)

TingTong @ #7653: All start with the letter T ????? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Blues @ #7651: Enjoyed the V connection. Thank you. (8 years, 6 months ago)

KitMit @ #7641: If it doesn't accept an answer because the person who made the grid didn't think of that word, you look and it turns out you were right it's okay to count it in your head as getting it right. Please don't let it ruin your day or the little you have of a life. (8 years, 6 months ago)

KitMit @ #7646: As I'm not stuck up my own hole I won't claim the grid was particularly easy for me. I rather enjoyed it. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7646: Lovely gentle afternoon puzz (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #2164: Very Difficult. Got one right, but it would not accept "Road". (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #2107: What is a gravy holder? Perhaps a member of staff? e.g a butler, a groom, a housemaid and a gravy holder! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ali @ #7630: I think maybe a little bit too tricky? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #1669: Would not accept "trades". (8 years, 6 months ago)

Will Jack @ #7639: Very pleasing (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #5622: Very good grid. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7638: Very straightforward, buy fine. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Puffball @ #7626: And now it is easy! (8 years, 6 months ago)

alex @ #7634: Excellent grid very challenging and I was unable to complete it. Answer spec though was poor as I passed on three answers which were then marked as correct. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #7626: Quite easy for a medium (8 years, 6 months ago)

Fred @ #7643: Archery colours out of sinc with other clues (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ewan @ #7643: Easy but archery target colours too vague. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jim @ #7638: I liked this one. A bit simple, but enjoyable (8 years, 6 months ago)

SGT @ #7636: *lieutenant, not "leiutenant" (probably just a typo, but this IS a word-based puzzle site!) Otherwise, good grid...crossovers kept me busy. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7639: Top class! (8 years, 6 months ago)

*i**i** *o**o*a*** @ #7630: *o* (8 years, 6 months ago)

Himself @ #7630: At first I thought this was poorly thought out but it is actually doable. One think I'll say is that 'Ireland' is not a member of the UK. 'Northern Ireland' is. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7627: Tricky. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Besty @ #7629: Very good grid. Highly enjoyable. (8 years, 6 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7627: Brilliant! And yes, I fell for it Snipe. So clever. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Tricky @ #7617: Would not take ships?? (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ali @ #7604: Wow ... I totally fell for that! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ali @ #7591: I don't think they're technically homophones but the grid was easily solvable. I enjoyed it! (8 years, 6 months ago)

Jank @ #7602: Looked easy but wasn't. Good test (8 years, 6 months ago)

Delilah @ #7602: Aaaaargh...was mostly totally defeated by what initially looked like a simple grid!! Only managed to crack one category, with 2 seconds to go. Well done. (8 years, 6 months ago)

Ewan @ #7593: Beat me but I enjoyed it (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dolford @ #7592: Good grid but criteria need better definition (8 years, 6 months ago)

Dollydiva @ #7592: Nice puzzle but what is considered correct is too strict. I said countries with first letter missing and was graded incorrect and even said synonyms for pain and that was also incorrect. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Delfonic @ #7593: Cool. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jank @ #7593: Oh yeah. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7583: Oh yes - I also think that the use of ??? and !!! is hardly good use of English. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7583: Therns appeared in the 2012 John Carter movie as the main antagonistic force. In the movie, they are depicted as a extremely advanced alien race. Fiction of course, but if not allowable then a Shakespeare character would also not be permissible, which is daft. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shaft @ #7593: I liked this (8 years, 7 months ago)

The Thinker @ #7576: I may be wrong here, but i presume that this is a deliberate attempt to incite annoyance, and by posting your annoyance you are giving the poster exactly what he/she wants. Alternatively they me just genuinely be an absolute idiot. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo @ #7589: Like this one a lot, my kind of game. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tasty @ #7558: yum, I like the cut of your jib! (8 years, 7 months ago)

FrankyPanky @ #7586: Not loads,just 2, the one i mentioned below and as Dante pointed out lampard should have been Lampard. Thanks for taking the time to comment though, its much appreciated. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7576: You do not know what a homophone is. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7586: Lots of mistakes. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tom @ #7574: 'spanish cities' was incorrect, because the correct answer should be 'Spanish cities'. 'British cities' was also incorrect, apparently I needed 'cities in the United Kingdom'. (8 years, 7 months ago)

commenter @ #7580: no. just no. (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #185: Good , fun grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7585: I like what you did there...... (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7584: I guess we will never know ...what a shame. (8 years, 7 months ago)

giles @ #7580: took all of 18 seconds to complete, but failed to accept "footballer" "hello" or "money" as correct answers - learn how to make these things properly! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #6872: I guess darto has a habit of plagiarizing. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #7584: This site could do with proper moderation, maybe accounts and passwords. I appreciate you calling it a masterpiece though. Doesn't really matter what name the grid is under I just don't get why anyone would do that. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7584: Frank, green does not suit you, don't try to take credit for someone else's masterpiece. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #7584: Do you really get satisfaction from copying out an entire grid someone else made? Seems weird to me, but whatever. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #7584: No you didn't. I submitted the Khan one. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7584: Apologies Frank, I had submitted this grid under the pseudonym "Khan" but thought it never posted, so resubmitted under my usual name. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #7584: Don't see why you've just copied an earlier grid on the page (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7582: Very good! (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7580: Didn't accept 'Footballers' or 'Hello". Otherwise very easy. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Phenom_Ooh @ #7576: Eye No Watt it Miens (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7582: Excellent gridding, one of the best I've played. Very well done! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jank @ #7576: That's meaningless (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #1510: Should accept assemblies instead of just parliaments. Is a senate strictly a parliament? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #7580: Far too easy and did not accept correct answers! (8 years, 7 months ago)

ttoclaw oeht @ #7580: Fiendish (8 years, 7 months ago)

Juan Pablo Montoya @ #7576: I don't think that means what you think it means either. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jank @ #7576: How about 'humour' - do you know what that means? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Inigo Montoya @ #7576: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. (8 years, 7 months ago)

* @ #7576: I've never seen a red carrot before. (8 years, 7 months ago)

R Tyst @ #7573: You could have had four unrhyming colours: orange, beige, purple and silver. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Lyn Gwist @ #7576: If 'carrot' and 'parrot' are not homophones, how do you explain the following? Q. What is red and sounds like* a parrot? A. A carrot. *i.e., is a homophone of. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7580: Much too easy. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7573: Third end. Shame, because it's a lovely idea (8 years, 7 months ago)

smithy @ #7576: w.t.f. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7574: Vaguely famous viners? Also the cities also have regional airports (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7575: Very nice (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7576: A homophone is a word than shares the same pronunciation as another e.g. flower and flour. NOT sort of similar pronunciation if you had turned your hearing aid off and someone was using a hoover in the room. Who actually mistakes "parrot" and "carrot" for being the same word? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shakespears Sister @ #7576: Stay...with.... (8 years, 7 months ago)

Me @ #7576: I don't think homophone means what you think it means. (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #5743: really enjoyed this one. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Puffball @ #7576: It's all a bit of a muddle really. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Blondie @ #7576: I don't want anybody else, When I think about you I touch (8 years, 7 months ago)

Griffen @ #7576: Genius is insanity, until it works. Unfortunately this does not work and you are clearly insane! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Myself @ #7576: I think you're confusing 'homophone' with words that rhyme and words with similar spellings. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Basil Brush @ #7576: Creative, I like it! (8 years, 7 months ago)

The Ricktator @ #7576: Brilliant! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Dust bag @ #7573: I think bairn is a good match (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jambon @ #7558: Awful! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #7555: Bit annoying on the links. _ Sea didn't work, nor _ Time. Again, red is red? I put shades of the same colour - wrong? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Puffball @ #7573: Good grid,..what about bairn?too colloquial? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Sam @ #7561: 5 star grid! Crossovers nicely varied and challenging. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7558: Good grid although would not take horse (8 years, 7 months ago)

Dan_York @ #7558: Great Grid. Apply water to those burns Luke lol (8 years, 7 months ago)

yum @ #7558: @ Luke87: The tool your mum uses to start her up when your dad's at work. Grid is actually ok ;-) (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7558: that's a cracker - top gridding (8 years, 7 months ago)

Luke87 @ #7558: Great Grid! Yum, you are clearly a tool. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7561: very good (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7561: very good (8 years, 7 months ago)

yum @ #7558: Haven't played this grid yet but wanted to stop by and leave some unwelcome criticism whilst behind my keyboard. Awful. (8 years, 7 months ago)

yum @ #7561: Sigh. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7555: Enjoyable (8 years, 7 months ago)

andyt @ #7549: not so keen on synonyms - just went for weapons (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7550: I enjoyed it. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7548: Good stuff. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #4784: A corker of a grid! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7561: Great Gridding! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Annon @ #7555: I think you'll find they are related to horse riding no runner gallops idiot (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #1734: Great fun. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7555: How can red be a different type of red? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7557: Tough grid. IThink "Bible" should be accepted. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #7492: Nice grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #7527: I had no idea what two of the groups were so I had no chance, but that's just the luck of it. A blank connection was accepted for the Codling group. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #7535: Should accept "Creams". I thought "separate" was a good way to describe discrete things, but this wasn't accepted either. Not sure there is enough to distinguish the two very similar categories. Numbers way too easy! Creams quite good. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pedanticus @ #7557: Priestly? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jules @ #98: V good (8 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo @ #1254: (8 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo @ #1254: CAR is not an African country, however the Central African Republic is. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Robbo @ #1254: (8 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #7551: To the people who think cawed sounds like cod - where are you from? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #7556: Very easy to solve but connections difficult to word how you wanted them. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Joe @ #7555: Should have accepted "sea" (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7551: 'Cawed' works for me. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7555: That was tricky,,surprised by crossovers ,caught me out! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7552: Well I enjoyed it (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ronnie @ #7520: F U N E Ex? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #4772: There are plenty of red herrings here, including at least one incomplete "phantom category" that isn't one of the solutions! I very nearly didn't solve it but just scraped through to find the groups, after which it was easy to get the connections (having already thought of them all). (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #3: Possibly the easiest wall I have done on here, but high quality. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #220: Excellent red herrings. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #4750: I saw "Silverq" and thought "that has to be a wordplay one"! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #4736: Is "Synonyms for each other." not enough for the group containing Slough? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #59: Should not accept just "names" for superhero names! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #2959: For some reason "computers" was accepted for record labels and "old" for Google services. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Patch @ #1161: I'm not sure why my guess "Hammers" was accepted as a correct answer for the final group (things made of keratin). (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ray @ #4961: Poor grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mario @ #7551: Enjoyed the grid, more please (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #4961: Very good. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7552: Nice ideas,very exacting,too tricky for bad doll. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #7553: Tricky. I got a very lucky 10/10. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #7553: Nice grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

gdar @ #7553: good (8 years, 7 months ago)

Sheriff Lobo @ #7546: You must hate Only Connect, toast. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7544: Very testing- great gridding! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7550: Just about ok. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister TOm @ #7550: Nice idea and OK for beginners - but the central grouping that holds it together is a little too obvious- as are most of the other groups. This took 30 seconds... If you enjoyed this try number 7237. (8 years, 7 months ago)

muesli @ #7514: What about me then? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Alan @ #2024: Random (8 years, 7 months ago)

Alan @ #1924: Meat,all meat!! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Alan @ #1937: Nice grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Len @ #7551: In England, cod sounds like cod and that's it. Cawed sounds closer to cord. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ralph @ #7551: Nice grid, although i dont get the comments about "cawed", sounds exactly like cod to me, am i missing something??? something fishy going on. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7549: easy but fine grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7551: agree with all that's been said, (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7546: I agree but the White House was too hard. Still a good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Rich Tea @ #4961: Utter garbage. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7551: One might say this isn't the time or plaice to carp, but I agree about cawed. Even having got the link I floundered on that one. If the author keeps at it eel soon be a dab hand though. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7544: Well done (8 years, 7 months ago)

Blaze @ #7550: It didn't accept any correct answers. When it doesn't accept "brown" or "labour prime ministers", I can't imagine what it actually does accept. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7551: Easy but great fun; loved it! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7551: like this,apart from the cawed which doesn't work for me. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7549: Quite so! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Grid kid @ #7549: But it was a nice grid,so you are excused?:-) (8 years, 7 months ago)

CutiePie132 @ #7549: Whoopsie! had CAPS LOCK on by mistake, i hang my head in shame. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Grid kid @ #7541: Wouwou spoiler alerts? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7549: Ok ,but best to use lowercase throughout ? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Wouwou @ #7541: Oi what's the connection for boa Lea try and again ? Please mate (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7541: Very entertaining. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7546: Tough, but very good. (8 years, 7 months ago)

hmmm @ #7206: Yeah if you've not heard of it, it must not exist. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pontius @ #7206: Red shift? hmmm (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pontius @ #7495: tricky (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pontius @ #7543: Pretty good! well done (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pontius @ #4961: Brilliant - many false turns and good crossovers. (8 years, 7 months ago)

trevor @ #5033: really good grid - neat! (8 years, 7 months ago)

farto @ #7539: oh darto, you are incredibly funny, your endless line of "z"s had me tickled pink, I only wish i could retort in a similar manner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7541: nice grid with some good crossovers (8 years, 7 months ago)

RowG @ #7535: didn't accept cream and terms used for the single group is subjective (8 years, 7 months ago)

newpuzzler @ #7535: Rejects correct answers - not enough options for different expressions of the same thing built in e.g. accepts Cream but not cream (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pollygon @ #7535: That's true,but I did enjoy it. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7535: I think the 'Single' group and the 'Singular' group are way too similar. There are many crossovers between the two. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Squamous @ #4780: Deidre, I am ten next birthday.is that Ok? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #1868: Top class. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Split pin @ #7495: @Toast - that's your second step tost (8 years, 7 months ago)

Split pin @ #7495: vrlo dobro (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7244: Got the first three connections really quickly but no chance with the Royal Residences. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7504: Tough - just made it with seconds to spare. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #1986: To a Extent? Poor (8 years, 7 months ago)

Han Solo @ #7535: Numbers was a particularly challenging group. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Prfssr Mrrty @ #7529: Apart from it being a poor grid it's a very good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7534: That is quite funny! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7534: Curiously I got the Batman Actresses group, but I thought they all had deliberate mistakes in their names... (8 years, 7 months ago)

Climber Diner @ #7528: This its his! (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7508: Very good grid. Shame it has been marked down so I only found it because of Plev's comment. There are grids for football fans and Oscar luvvies so why not Londoners? There are a lot of us! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #7529: A very fun grid. A good point about the crossover between Black and Yellow seas/colours but luckily I was too stupid to pick up on it and therefore got it correct. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #1335: Nice grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

nc @ #7529: nc d bt t hrd fr m (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shrlck Hlms @ #7529: The point that is being made is that Yllw & Blck are interchangeable, otherwise very good (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jan @ #5472: Good grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

CockneyBoy @ #7486: Would you adam and eve it (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #5598: It would help if you gave surnames. And parents' names would be even more helpful. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #5915: Anagrams should be proper words not just rearrangements of letters. What is a beaka? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Yap @ #7529: I think black sea was a rd hrrng . ppmwgn stumped me. Good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Yap @ #7515: nicely done. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7492: Easily the best grid I've played in a long time. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #1641: Cooperatente! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7520: He calls himself 'Ming' on his official website: www.mingcampbell.org.uk/ NB. His full name is pronounced 'Mingis' (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7527: Easy but enjoyable (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7529: Apart from the point Mister Tom makes this is a very good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7529: Doesn't work I'm afraid, because there is also a Black Sea. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7527: Excellent. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7529: Fun! (8 years, 7 months ago)

BillySugger @ #7529: Nice Grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7528: Can't wait to see "Stoplight" sounds interesting. Also looking forward to seeing "Spotlight". (8 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #7483: Ok but David Jensen was not one of the original Radio 1 DJs. 'Mint' not accepted (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hubby @ #7527: Good grid, I really enjoyed it!! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #7520: Could have allowed 'names for murder or killing' (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7520: cool (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7520: I think it was spelt Menzies but pronounced Ming . Otherwise a good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Marmite @ #7516: Enjoyed the grid and especially liked the "land" red herrings (8 years, 7 months ago)

iiooa @ #7516: The boxers I referenced are well known to all generations of boxing fans, they're legends of the sport. I'm not saying it's an easy group to identify but generation has little to do with it, it's more whether you like boxing or not. Knuckles and Blinky might be a bit specialist but the other two characters I've heard of without ever having watched them. It wasn't meant to be straightforward though. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7509: Oh yes,googled, there are! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7509: But not too many smiths candidates there? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7520: Awesome red herrings! (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7516: Really tough - I remember the boxers but they are a generation away from the kids' characters. Not many will have the necessary knowledge to complete this! ( and I didn't). (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7515: Nicely thought out. Well done . (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7514: Breakfast without toast?? This abomination should be in Room 101 not in the annals of Puzzgrid. Apart from that though it is pretty good. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7509: The Smith line is not really fair - just so many of them - but I liked the rest a lot. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7515: Good grid, quite easy. Probably the quickest I've completed a grid in a long time. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7504: Beat me-good grid but very tricky (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7515: Nice grid! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7516: Very well constructed; tough but fun (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7514: Fun grid. very enjoyable (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7133: Nicely worked but what is a rubicam? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7508: I'm sure this is easy for Londoners but far too difficult for those of us who live in the provinces. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Polly @ #7496: Aw, I put towns instead of cities (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7341: Nice state capital red herrings but rest far too obscure (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7236: Much too hard - you need to give us a chance. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7495: I like it. My first step in learning Croatian. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7496: I like this grid- always like it when someone does something a bit different. not terrible hard but good fun grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7475: Nice red herrings (8 years, 7 months ago)

giles_256 @ #7496: Thanks for the feedback guys (I made this grid, and submit others under giles_256) I'm going to make a few more of these missing vowel ones so look out for more grids under the name MSSNG VWLS (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7496: Good gridding. Very entertaining (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7495: This was a stinker - a very good stinker mind! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7496: Good Fun! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7496: Sorry,for' they' read 'that' (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7496: Yes they was the hardest for me too.great grid! (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #2297: Very enjoyable grid. I don't often score 10/10. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7496: CHCKY the hardest to get for me, good grid though! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Badger @ #7488: Nice grid but are all fish, irrespective of the dropped letter (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7496: Struggled a bit at first but all came in a rush once I got Exeter. I enjoyed this. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7495: Very good - smart red herrings (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plev @ #7493: Not too difficult but I liked it (8 years, 7 months ago)

Father Liam Deliverance @ #6064: Shoddy workmanship. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7491: Really good (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7494: Varied but too difficult. Changing letters in the time is just too hard. Thanks though , please keep trying. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Auferre @ #7492: hoc est, superbis! (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7492: One of the few anagrams I have enjoyed. And a mention of toast! Well done. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7490: OK there are some drawbacks but it was still enjoyable and I think the setter has decent potential. Also nice to see ramuz back. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7485: quality grid- got 2 of them and guessed there was prob an anagram (funnily enough) but couldn't get it (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7486: another vote for the adam line (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7488: not too difficult but very well made grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7490: I concur with tom (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7491: good grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ice Cube @ #7490: Rye is interchangeable with barley and possibly wheat. Plus the changing states group could apply to anything in the physical world. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7491: Nice one,Thankyou! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7490: Agree with Mister Tom (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7459: Still easier that obscure footballers tho!for me that is! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7486: wasn't it just! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7490: I liked most of this but the lava group seemed more than a little tenuous. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Eazy E @ #7490: Grids are ranked in "Quality" & "Difficulty" depending on the stars awarded on completion, so whats easy to some might be more difficult to others. I particularly liked the red herrings. Good Job. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Giles @ #7459: That's really tenuous about the London ones - they're all suburban London districts, Catford Studios appears to have been open for all of 7 years about 100 years ago, who's going to know that?! (8 years, 7 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7490: Yes, more medium but a good grid nevertheless. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7485: No,try again, Tricky? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bros @ #7373: Was any of this correct?. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7490: Medium? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7488: Good grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7485: But again mainly just anagrams with no connections, meanings or red herrings unless I have misunderstood the idea of this? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ratty @ #7459: It took me a long time to realise it was 'in common' rather than 'common in' (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7488: Good one. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7488: Enjoyable, fun grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7458: Hmmmm, not sure about the money slang. I've never heard of greyhound for pound and a fiver is usually a deep sea diver or lady godiva. (8 years, 7 months ago)

RowG @ #7474: Didn't accept correct answer about supermarkets! (8 years, 7 months ago)

?????????? @ #7270: It was easy, and I had to think a bit so I thought it was very good (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7487: No,it's gone now,seems you were not alone! (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7478: It wouldn't accept bag from me either (8 years, 7 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7487: Don't get it (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7486: The Adam line was very entertaining. ! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7483: F1 not accepted, otherwise good. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7485: Indeed it is! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7485: Very clever grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7487: Oh well! Each to his own..... (8 years, 7 months ago)

The best EVER @ #7487: AMAZING. TRULY AMAZING. THIS IS THE BEST PUZZ GRID EVERRRRRRRRRRR......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Esteban Julio Ricardo @ #7487: 1/5 M8 M8 M8 I RATE N8 CAUSE D8 IS L8 BUT SH8 MA M8 (8 years, 7 months ago)

Giles @ #7483: Good but problem with the connection answers - I was told incorrect for "British F1 champions" (they all are) instead of just 'formula one drivers', and ridiculously I also wasn't allowed "mint" for 'types of mint sweets'?! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Renee @ #7483: Good grid with nice interrelated words. Difficult radio 1 group (8 years, 7 months ago)

ernie @ #7459: I didn't like words that "go with" rather than just preceding or just following. I'm sure it makes the grid easier to make, but not better. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ben Doon @ #7463: Jimbo, how on earth do you know I have a speech impediment? I'm unable to pronounce 'f' or 'th'. You must be psychic and I can't say fairer than that. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7480: Top table,very common! Like for the most important people seated at event,,eg wedding. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ray @ #7480: Never heard of "top table". And can anyone honestly say they correctly identified the 10 point words in scrabble group? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7475: Fairly easy but entertaining (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7475: good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7480: Agree,clever and challenging! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Anna G @ #7480: Very good :) (8 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #7479: Clever grid. Got the theme fairly quickly but still only managed to solve two before time ran out! (8 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #7478: Good entertaining grid, (though for some reason wouldn't accept bag as last solution) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Anna G @ #7479: Previously "Anna Gramme", changed to avoid confusion in this grid. I believe there is only 1 unique solution but apologies if I am wrong. Enjoy. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Anna Gramme @ #7435: Thank's for taking the time to complete and comment on this grid, I appreciate its not everybody's cup of tea. My intention was to create a grid following a specific "theme", i.e. all anagrams, with the deliberate name as to give a clue of what might be contained within. Its just a bit of fun, so treat it as such. L8az :p......p.s I hate Paul Smeenis. (8 years, 7 months ago)

EMC @ #7476: Agree with previous comment - I put "portamentau" and "wet lands" and it marked it as wrong (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7475: Complicated but better than most. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Sam @ #7470: The grid I've most enjoyed recently. Please do more! So simple, once the answers were revealed, but your clever choice of words had me despairing right up until the end 6 seconds, when I finally managed to spot 1 link! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #7474: Warm art and Audi. Makes the Ben Doon grid seem not so bad after all. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7474: Not good (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7470: Good one (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #7463: I assumed you had some kind of speech impediment, like a Scottish accent or something. So where is it that they pronounce H as "itch" then? (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7435: or Paul Smeenis of course (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7475: should have said nice grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7475: (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ben Doon @ #7463: Jimbo! I agree entirely that 'Ben Doon' does not sound like 'bend down' and did not suggest it does. So, how on earth have you come to make that entirely spurious connection? Come on, you old rascal, come clean - you think it does, don't you? (8 years, 7 months ago)

onetwothree @ #7476: Good groups but set up so it puts incorrect even when you are correct! Need more options for categories. (8 years, 7 months ago)

joshodo @ #5501: I liked this one, couldn't do it... more flexibility in the accepted answers might help. Well done (8 years, 7 months ago)

joshodo @ #7394: Nice grid, I like your thinking :) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Giles @ #7088: Again, I was told 'incorrect' for writing 'Gary' and 'profession surnames' as the categories - you need to make sure you fill out the acceptable answers bit properly when making the grid so contestants aren't 'penalised' when they've actually got it right! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ryedrop @ #710: If Jaffa cakes are cakes why are they in the biscuit aisle then?????? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7470: Lovely grid! Hampton likes a wordy puzz. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7429: A very good start, Thankyou! (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7463: It was a bit of fun quite well put together and it has created a bit of interest. We're all winners! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ottoka @ #7429: thanks for all thanks for all the great comments, seeing as i'm a kid it's a great achievement it's my first one. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7470: Could not find the links but very clever! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7463: Didn't like the homophones group but the Hazard group was very clever! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7469: Too tenuous. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7469: I liked this,especially the chile line! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7458: Thought I knew all the slang terms for British money; seems I don't. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Sam @ #7460: *Aretha...not "ArethRa" Enjoyed it, otherwise. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Old fogey @ #7458: Tim Rice wrote excellent musicals Never heard of chess 'puzzle' (8 years, 7 months ago)

otrad @ #7435: much more famous them, more on par with Trevor Nyanalsecks. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bad doll @ #7435: True greatness indeed! (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7435: hey ive been anagrammed- cheers otrad- I feel almost like a celebrity. like lary gineker or that Dave macidron bloke (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7448: fair play apart from the errors (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7460: nice grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #7463: I haven't looked at your video because it's not a link but ok I understand it's a French town, fair enough. Still H is absolutely never pronounced "itch", and Ben Doon doesn't sound like "bend down" either. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7460: Think this should be classed fiendish😀 (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ben Doon @ #7463: Have a listen to this 'ridiculous' French accent, Jim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj5mMs3dXtk (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #7463: "Aix" is not pronounced the same as "eks" though. Scottish people should never do homophones because their accent is ridiculous. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7463: sorry but homophones just not right. rest of it very clever (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ben Doon @ #7463: I accept, Jim, that 'H' may also be pronounced 'aitch' but 'Aix' (pronounced 'eks') is incontrovertible. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jim @ #7463: Itch and aix are certainly not homophones of H and X. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7463: Ingenious indeed! Quality red herrings! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7462: It might mean son of henry? Otherwise a very nice grid, Thankyou.,! (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7462: Liked the states, not sure about Kendrick. Watch you don't accept wrong answers by leaving a comma after the acceptable word fragments. Overall a good one. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7460: Nice red herrings. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Binney @ #2706: AAAAA YOU EVIL PERSON I LOVE IT. Sat staring at "capuchino" for at least 2 minutes going "why is it spelled wrong" until I got it. Fantastic wall. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Persilla @ #2717: Nice - I thought the house group was "break", on account of coffee and jail. Sneaky! (8 years, 7 months ago)

hmm @ #491: Very hard to get the groups but easy to get the connections. Some are *very* difficult and highly specialised knowledge, e.g. types of lepton, 'final cylons' (?). (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hmm @ #56: Should be categorised as 'fiendish' - the instruments and the glasses are very niche. Enjoyed it though. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7460: Clever,tricksy! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7458: Most satisfactory ( although putting monkey in made it easier!) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7459: Good one (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tposer @ #7457: V. nice quiz. I disagree with Culvert; it doesn't matter if anagrams don't form real words- if anything this just helps the player of the wall. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Phyl @ #7318: totally agree with Binney, badly constructed in terms of the answers (8 years, 7 months ago)

Phyl @ #7448: 2 misspellings (8 years, 7 months ago)

Klyst @ #1595: Give us a chance. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Plean @ #1718: Not bad (8 years, 7 months ago)

Derv @ #7435: Prap! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Graj @ #48: Easy but smart. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Culvert @ #7457: Anagrams should form proper words, not random arrangements of letters. I don't think 'tchou' and 'ese' are proper words. And the sense is 'sight' not 'see'. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Zyga @ #7453: Those are all atomic mass numbers, sure, but they're also, y'know, numbers... (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #401: Good gridding! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7429: Super grid. Not too difficult, but plenty of red herrings. Well Done! (8 years, 7 months ago)

JZ @ #7450: Ford cars is a niche enough category without the need to make them anagrams. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pedant @ #7448: Two spelling errors! Coarse (fishing). Orthodox. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7450: Tough, challenging and entertaining. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7450: Oh,that's clever! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7422: I see now,Thankyou Mister Tom. (8 years, 7 months ago)

ernie @ #7422: Americanized girls names with letters missing and Stereophonics album tracks (presumably)? Terrible grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

ernie @ #7423: Good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

ernie @ #7436: agreed (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7450: Great grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7435: I'm in agreement with Tricky here - one anagram group can be a great way to encapsulate a red herring or two, but a whole grid, nah. Glad some people enjoyed it though (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7422: Deliberately perverse low ratings. Sort of the opposite of grids with sixteen indentical clues which nevertheless start life with four stars. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ragaman @ #7435: absolutely neither here nor there- I think anagrams are ko (ok) 3/5 (8 years, 7 months ago)

melanie @ #7397: Thankyou (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7422: I don't really know how foul play would happen , but I am notoriously naive! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Anagram @ #7435: Totally right otrad: there's no intellectualism in anagrams --very anal (8 years, 7 months ago)

otrad @ #7435: absolute stinker -I heat (hate) an anagram 1/5 (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7422: I too suspect the odd bit of foul play. Having said which, this one might have been marked down because it's -staggeringly- tough. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Anagram @ #7435: Meal (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7448: One to many courses. Unorthodox to say the least. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Bob @ #7448: Isn't it COARSE fishing? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Imposter Tom @ #7446: I thought cirrhosis was a type of cloud until I discovered smirnoff (8 years, 7 months ago)

Gerard @ #7418: Darn it. Was all there but for the 1997 connection. Good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Gerard @ #5155: Audio, Adieu, Euro, Louie. Answer "only one consonant". Incorrect? Nah! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Doctor J @ #1005: Generally good, Diesel and Deuce are a bit tenous (8 years, 7 months ago)

Gerard @ #7311: I put "husbands of Liz Taylor". Incorrect? I think not. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7445: Good red herrings! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7443: What did you make? (8 years, 7 months ago)

innes @ #7443: I made them (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7434: Variable quality. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #7435: Olive an anagram too. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7422: Good, that's the way! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7422: Thanks all for support. Guess I will keep trying 😀 (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7435: Found this easy as it was obvious they were all anagrams as there were no links or red herrings (8 years, 7 months ago)

Wallace @ #7395: Cracking wall (8 years, 7 months ago)

bert @ #7436: joke of a grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7435: absolute cracker- I vole (love) an anagram 5/5 (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #7437: No-one likes or watches scottish football. You should know that. You might as well do a grid about Tuvaluan football, it's about the same level. (8 years, 7 months ago)

John @ #7437: My first attempt at a greed. Really enjoyed it (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #7433: Not remotely solvable even for a football fan. Abysmal grid. Players sponsored by adidas is a ridiculous group. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7431: Fun but strictly unfair as there are alternative solutions with the chip shop and sea fish groups . Unless you live somewhere with a really poor chip shop. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7433: Aaah brilliant footballers! Talk about monotonous. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7429: Nice grid and topped with a tasty trifle. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7434: Agree with you Mr Grumpy. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7422: I think if someone marks a grid really low then it will disappear depending on the settings you have chosen for what grids to show. I notices that happen to one of ( I think) David's recently. In the very early stages there will be few markings so one or two possibly malicious low marks may have a disproportionate effect. Don't let it get to you. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7423: Excellent. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7421: Good stuff. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7420: Nice one. Good structure. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7418: Too tough for me (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Grumpy @ #7434: hmmmmm don't think the "verbs" line was very good. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7435: Even with your name clue I couldn't get it ! Well done! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7426: Gay. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7432: You need help ,Hugh! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hugh Morris @ #7432: I think my neighbour is stalking me as she's been googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7432: Great grid..but maybe tale not tail? (8 years, 7 months ago)

HighRoller @ #7429: Good Grid, liked the red herrings. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hugh Morris @ #7428: Thanks for explaining the word "many" to me, it means a lot. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7421: Well put together. Very enjoyable (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7424: Good Grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7428: Excellent grid. very well constructed (8 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #7428: Good grid. Spotted the themes quickly but took some unpicking! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hugh Morris @ #7426: Apparently, 1 in 5 people in the world are Chinese. And there are 5 people in my family, so it must be one of them. It's either my mum or my dad. Or my older brother Colin. Or my younger brother Ho-Chan-Chu. But I think its Colin. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7396: I hadn't realised it was all interchangeable till now- I gave you 4 stars, but now I know your crime im taking 3 away and you need to spend 3 hours on the naughty step. does defeat the object if theres more than one solution to be fair (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7399: agree with others (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7402: good grid let down by the tar group (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7422: Don't do that! Like your grids.but it is a mystery! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7422: I don't know. As I said before, it seems like someone doesn't like me. Think I am leaving this horrible site 😪 (8 years, 7 months ago)

bigjobs @ #7396: Calm down dear. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jz @ #7426: Not sure about the "all come in suits" group. I can see how armour and cards come in suits, but the other two are just words which can precede suit. It's not consistent. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Clive @ #7396: The grids are meant to have one unique solution despite the red herrings. Interchangeable options defeat the point. I don't get how anyone doesn't get that. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Hugh Morris @ #7423: My mate Dave went to the zoo. The only animal there was a dog. It was a Shih Tzu. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7396: Loved this. Don't get the point of concerns, yes you could swap but so what? Is Kennedy interchangeable with Reagan? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7399: Echo Mister Tom's and Grizzle's comments - probably needed one more red herring (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7426: Good grid but slight reservation about the December line. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7426: Nice simple grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7424: I might be wrong but I think 'Gent' is normally spelt 'Ghent'. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7424: Fairly easy gird to complete - Cisse link was very obscure (8 years, 7 months ago)

Vicky @ #7423: Those gp drivers vexed me. I was desperately trying to put piquet in there. Great fun (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7420: Entertaining Grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7423: Well put together and tough (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #6986: Great red herrings. Well done on a good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7088: Got them all in the correct rows but was told "incorrect' for "characters in Porridge" and "famous Gary's" (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7278: Good grid..a few well thought out red herrings. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7422: why did this disappear from the main menu? (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7422: Hope this works (8 years, 7 months ago)

Asdfghjkl @ #7415: AMAZING!!! Soooo fun (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7421: Enormous fun! (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7416: almost really clever but doesn't actually quite make sense (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7417: Bloody hell, I used to live in Redhill and still couldnt get any of those. (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7412: always bloomin difficult- not sure I like these- too many possible variables (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7414: generally very good- did seem like you ran out of ideas a bit (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7414: Agreed. The rest was ok (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7418: tricky's the word- knew where it was going but couldn't solve it (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7420: good grid- got scuppered by the solo red herring (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7421: good grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Doctor J @ #7388: (8 years, 7 months ago)

Scotty @ #7408: Great first grid! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Scotty @ #7418: Sadly not. T E Lawrence died in a motorcycle accident (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7418: "Car crash" surely acceptable for "road accidents"? (8 years, 7 months ago)

vicky @ #7418: Tricksy (8 years, 7 months ago)

Boo @ #7418: (8 years, 7 months ago)

JZ @ #7416: Freaky is not a homophone of 3K, the other ones were stretching it a bit but that one is just wrong. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7414: Keep group is a bit tenuous. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7412: These grids appear all the time. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7415: Pretty sure all the star signs are also constellations. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7411: Good grid. I give it 3.14159265 stars. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mrs Mister @ #7413: yes it was easy......but the difficulty already tells you that, I thought it was a decent,straight forward grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Taz @ #7411: That any of those things are "synonyms of pie" is questionable. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mr.Bean @ #7406: PAAAAAARRRRRRP!!! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7411: ...and easy as... (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7408: Good disguises, although having not seen the film I was never going to actually solve it! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7413: This one was a bit too easy I think- if there were red herrings I couldn't spot them (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7411: Irrational but well rounded (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7410: Never before has so little been owed by so few to so many (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7411: Very well worked grid. Even though I quickly got the theme it took me while to sort the groups. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7408: Nice one,well done! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Besty @ #7408: Excellent gridding; well done (8 years, 7 months ago)

P.Hollywood @ #7408: Good first attempt, particularly like the "S" group :-) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Puzzgrid monitor @ #7410: A true reflection of your ability.well done (8 years, 7 months ago)

jeanlin @ #7145: I'm not in the USA but I love grids with state capitals to find....lovely and easy. Good grid. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7406: It's not necessarily an insult... I do try to avoid overdosing on "quiz knowledge" because it's no fun if you don't know it and not that exciting if you do. Hopefully you both enjoy the next one (8 years, 7 months ago)

Vicky @ #7408: Be kind please this is my first attempt :) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Arthur Smith @ #7171: Is a toilet commonly called a pot? I got it but am not convinced. Other than that was a nice twist with Twit. (8 years, 7 months ago)

vicky @ #7406: How rude. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7406: Good grid! The countries one wasn't very obscure; anyone with good quiz knowledge should get it! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7402: Tar group stood out like a sore thumb. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7404: Liked this a lot! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7406: Very good, totally flummoxed me! (8 years, 7 months ago)

tronkil @ #7402: Nice! (8 years, 7 months ago)

vicky @ #7406: Numbers bit was clever. State names a bit obscure. Decent (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7372: oh its monstrous (rhetorically speaking)- seems like your verdict is half decent- i'll settle for that- not RUBBISH though xx (8 years, 7 months ago)

David @ #7404: Tough - but really good (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7359: Vicky I don't get that comment very often... try 7138 or 7158 :-) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7404: Classy red herrings! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7399: Submarine group was very inventive - the rest was built around this but a bit too transparently (8 years, 7 months ago)

JZ @ #7384: Beckham and Platt could be swapped. Hurst refers to Geoff Hurst. (8 years, 7 months ago)

T @ #7384: I think Beckham and Hurst could easily be swapped, so the grid is not unique, which is annoying when trying to solve it. (In fact, for the purple category, 'Hurst' should be spelled 'Hirst' (8 years, 7 months ago)

Grizzle @ #7399: I found that quite simple, but enjoyable (8 years, 7 months ago)

Clive @ #7396: Very poor. Malcolm X is interchangeable with both Lincoln and Gandhi and Kennedy is interchangeable with Reagan. (8 years, 7 months ago)

binklou @ #7391: Was meant to accept 'facial hair' as answer but I'm new to this and think I did something wrong! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Boss man @ #7396: Tricky. Lots of red herrings but like the this one! (8 years, 7 months ago)

vicky @ #7359: Too easy (8 years, 7 months ago)

onlyconnectaddict @ #7396: Very clever. Love the way they could cross over (8 years, 7 months ago)

Dixie @ #7395: I like this one. Wouldn't take my answer for the homophones one, but I got it ...in my head anyway (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ali @ #7395: I like this :) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7396: Doesn't work I'm afraid, because you could swap Malcolm X and Lincoln. 1 star (8 years, 7 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7395: Ditto. Only knock is "synonyms for (the dummy member of the group)" should yield the connection, for some reason this didn't. (8 years, 7 months ago)

R-Toad @ #7372: darto how big is your ego? (rhetorical question) - in fairness to you two of the possible groups were "ok" but the first three letters of counties and the shortened versions of male names is borderline awful. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7393: I got the red and green group but not a clue on the purple or blue. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #7395: Very clever,liked it ! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Al @ #7391: Should have accepted "facial hair". Fu Manchu and Dali are moustaches. (8 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7350: Nice idea, but I'm not sure Oabry Inn is a true hompohone for Briain. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7390: There are lots of answers that can be swapped: choice, class, hand, chance, sight, person, base, gear, dimension etc. Your final solution is not unique. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7380: Love it! (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7374: Jaap Sam? Don't you mean Jaap Stam? Ruined it for me (8 years, 7 months ago)

Ann @ #7388: First time - hadn't seen the TV programme but recommended by my mum! I've got to the hang of it now - it's devious!! (8 years, 7 months ago)

darto @ #7372: yeah but its not is it bronzer bill, you tube- cheers everyone else (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7393: Nice (8 years, 7 months ago)

Tricky @ #7390: Very similar to mine , first second third etc (8 years, 7 months ago)

melanie @ #7350: Only slightly easier than the Polish grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pondrev @ #7392: Easy but some nice red herrings. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pondrev @ #7391: Good idea but let down by 1. Didn't accept 'painters'. 2. Dali didn't have a beard - he had a moustache. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Pondrev @ #7393: Didn't accept 'tradesmen'. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7393: Strong points the musicians line and the dams red herring are counterbalanced by the Colorado counties which is too obscure a line. Still a good grid, the perfect one is still out there ( don't expect it from me though I try now and again).Well done. (8 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #7392: Cheeky! I like it. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7390: Very nice. The groups are clear almost immediately and then it's a tricky thing to find the solution. The only problem I can see is that class could be swapped with person because of third class degrees at university. Still a really great grid (8 years, 7 months ago)

Kevin @ #7154: This is getting a bit more subiectjve, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Guilherme @ #2951: Well ladies and gents, I just got back from my local home depot and got btteer pricing than what is listed here for vinyl boxes. I am building 3 boxes for our first attempt, 2 double side and one single sided. This is equivalent to building 5 single boxes. Date s 04-01-2012, three years after the original post. Here is the breakdown4 4 posts 72 long $14.97 each (bought 3 for 3 squares totaled $44.91)4 4 post caps, pyramid style, $1.97 each (bought 12 for $23.64)1 3/4 x5 1/4 side rails for $9.97 each (bought 10 for $99.70)Total for this is $168.25 for 5 single boxes at $33.65 per box or $67.30 for 2 double sided boxes and $33.65 for 1single sided box.

Jaginder @ #2933: Forgive me for saying so, but the claim you made above (the one I qtneuioesd) was not that "Roger argues ...that the scientific ideal doesn't exist." Your claim was that "a lot of the criticism Roger receives comes from people who think the world ought to work differently than it actually does." (who believe that the ideal does exist?)I can't see that the few examples you show prove (or even come close to proving) such a general statement.With regard to my remark above, I would suggest that you read the actual testimony from the Congressional hearing to understand what I refer to. The recent hearing is not an example of "where the bad guys have used Pielke Jr.'s work to support their arguments" per se (not directly, at least), but it is a case in which some Republicans in Congress have used Pielke's words (in this case testimony at a hearing that they had personally invited him to) to deflect criticism (essentially excuse) some of the more extreme politicization of science that the Bush admin has engaged in over the past few years. I do not deny that both sides engage in politicization of science, as Pielke pointed out, but I do question his making that point (and the particular way that he made it) at a hearing whose specific purpose it was to look into serious charges of politicization by the Bush admin.The evidence that the Bush admin has engaged in significant politicization of science that merits examination is hardly comes from a number of legitimate sources (in many cases scientists within the government).

AgGuss @ #5107: Most people reidisng in the dry southwest United states of america have stumbled upon scorpions sooner or later. People such as us who live in the Phoenix arizona metro region, for example, enjoy a detailed, if relatively uneasy, relationship using these tiny possible predators. While some people actually encouraged scorpions onto their property to aid control additional insect populations, the great majority of people choose to stay with a safe range from these kind of venomous hunters. While there are several natural systems for keeping scorpions far from home, hiring a nearby Phoenix insect control service will be the most reliable insurance against an unpleasant and probably dangerous scorpion poke occurring within your family.

Sylvie @ #4825: This fall will be the last I see through the eyes of a twetny-something. Come December I am suppose to transcend into a mature male responsible, caring, domesticated, thirty. This seems like an unnecessary page to have to turn, and I ask If 30 is the new 20 then do I not have 10 more years of rash decision making and blatant irresponsibility? the mutual reason for both being snowboarding and the effort put forth to do so without ever paying.Since this revision is seemingly mandatory, perhaps even court ordered, I gueeess I can make a future with this girl who for whatever reason consistently loves me for me I will never understand this, but here we are I look upon my Autumn return to Red Deer as a legitament beginning to something where the end is not the proverbial Sunday evening of a three day winter weekend. Fantastic.So, as I struggle up the steps of life (looking across at the escalator of life, DAMMIT! ), I do it with a smile induced by times I can't fully remember with friends I will never forget.

Hijos @ #4790: From a long-term point of view the main reason a blog is great for Google and other secarh engines is this: Search engines givea0more weight to websitesa0that generate a steady flow of new content. As your site ages, it is seen as less relevant and the secarh engine spiders will visit your site less and less. Blogs are an easy way to keep your site current. A blog’s casual nature means it can cover a wide range of topics, making it easy to come up fresh content. (From here) (8 years, 7 months ago)

Fiestas @ #3043: softly, in wonder, you're not as I eexpcted you to be at all. . . . They, Jim and his friends, they said you were hard and cold and unfeeling. But it's true, Cherryl. I am, in the sense they mean—only have they ever told you in just what sense they mean it? No. They never do. They only sneer at me when I ask them what they mean by anything . . . about anything. What did they mean about you? Whenever anyone accuses some person of being unfeeling,' he means that that person is just. He means that that person has no causeless emotions and will not grant him a feeling which he does not deserve. He means that to feel' is to go against reason, against moral values, against reality. He means . . . What's the matter? she asked, seeing the abnormal intensity of the girl's face. It's . . . it's something I've tried so hard to understand . . . for such a long time. . . . Well, observe that you never hear that accusation in defense of innocence, but always in defense of guilt. You never hear it said by a good person about those who fail to do him justice. But you always hear it said by a rotter about those who treat him as a rotter, those who don't feel any sympathy for the evil he's committed or for the pain he suffers as a consequence. Well, it's true—that is what I do not feel. But those who feel it, feel nothing for any quality of human greatness, for any person or action that deserves admiration, approval, esteem. These are the things I feel. You'll find that it's one or the other. Those who grant sympathy to guilt, grant none to innocence. Ask yourself which, of the two, are the unfeeling persons. And then you'll see what motive is the opposite of charity. What? she whispered. Justice, Cherryl. (8 years, 7 months ago)

Jeb @ #7357: Really hard to the point where it's hard to get any and it's not really enjoyable. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7350: Not sure how I feel about this. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7292: I don't understand the negative comments.good red herrings! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7354: Yes, I agree ,not fair! Good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7354: I don't know who you are Terry and quite honestly I don't care. Just wish you were mature enough to make constructive comments or shut up (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7356: Nice but maybe a bit too straightforward - Harley, Proverbs and Girton are unlikely to be anything but what they are here. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1735: very good and enjoyable grid. One niggle- girls names is a bit too general (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1370: Excellent grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7351: This just does not work- or perhaps I should know more, e.g. familiarity with the Evo Stick League- yes I got stuck on that! Also would not accept rugby as an answer. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7354: Very tough (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7339: Good one, lots of red herrings! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shaz19 @ #7292: Not a very good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

j random user @ #7350: Homophones . Not homonyms. Homonyms are spelled the same. Otherwise, a very good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7350: This is dreadful (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sipskate @ #7279: Colours??? What a pecker... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sipskate @ #7305: - annoying (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7330: damn you and your hitchhiker red herrings- top grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sipskate @ #7321: Red Rum? I've heard of dark rum. Must admit I'm more of a vodka man. Red Wedding was just obvious... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7351: I got the york line, but the others defeated me. I liked the Grassington one tho! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Barry @ #7292: Terrible grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs T @ #7346: WHAT? (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7342: Didn't accept Liqueurs as answer! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Genwald @ #7297: Nize red herring with the mains man. I liked it. Keep it up all de way. Long live Coren (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1088: Beat me again- but great gridding! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1089: Good work- entertaining grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Binney @ #7318: Nice categories, but I think it needs to accept a slightly broader range of answers - e.g. "fairytale characters" didn't work, neither did "royal family" (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1090: Nice gridding (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1697: Tricky but fun (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1468: Good grid, but should have accepted trick as well as deceive. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #4573: Good try, but Swiss Language? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7346: .? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7341: Had me beaten- but good to be stretched- great grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tishlubber @ #7345: Emordnilap (palindrome spelt backwards!!) not Semordnilap words are also known as mirror words, Janus words & reverse words so your answer should accept any of these as correct. A frustrating grid to have correct answers marked as incorrect!!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7344: Very good grid. I got stuck on the clips, which seems apt! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7342: Easy grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7341: Can't _believe_ I didn't get the children of Agenor and Telephassa. (8 years, 8 months ago)

arb @ #7296: The Clash have had a number 1 (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7281: Very clever. Loved the Mercury line. (8 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #7325: There's very little censorship here - and none for this grid. If users ratings drag a grid into the "Poor" category it only shows up if you set the minimum quality to Poor. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Albert Tatlock @ #7329: Nice, fun grid. I like these ones! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7330: A hod is a box for carrying bricks, or a coal scuttle. (8 years, 8 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7239: Not difficult, but enjoyable (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7330: What's a hod? I think that group is a bit tenuous. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7329: Few mistakes, didn't accept TMNT as an answer. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #7321: On Only Connect - the actual programme - there's tons of examples where the group knew the connection but didn't know of one of the clues. IMO you should have been able to get the connection without it. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7337: Great grid. The bull group was very nice in retrospect, I guessed Ducks for it because of Sitting. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7337: Mister Tom, what do you mean about foot and ball?a red herring? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7338: That was impressively fiendish (but note there's a q in Brecqhou) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7338: Gosh,that was ingenious and beat me ! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7337: Three nice groups - the Random advice one felt a bit tacked on though (and also stood out like a sore thumb). While not everyone likes four groups that work in a similar way, I notice that "Ball" and "Bath" both can be preceded by "Foot"... (8 years, 8 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7326: Strictly Speaking is a televised dance competition. Good grid Spa. (8 years, 8 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #7329: Am I spelling pedantic correctly froggy? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7330: Good gridding! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7335: Very well thought out. Had me stumped on the Islands, but a highly enjoyable grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7325: It sadly seems not,Tricky.but what other section?didnt know there was one. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7325: No it's has just gone into another section Oddball. This is not a very friendly site is it? (8 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #7245: My answers were very awry (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sally @ #7306: Well put together. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sally @ #7308: Nice grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7325: I see this been removed by puzzgrid.i think that's a shame.conspiracy indeed! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Bryan Ferry @ #7325: Really bad grid, Sally aka. Tricky. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Codge @ #7025: As in, 'under a lowering sky'... Fair play, my first attempt and pants in many ways. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7330: Very nice! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sally @ #7325: Are you 3 Jerry Terry Perry all the same dumbass? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7329: Nice simple grid , still made me think (8 years, 8 months ago)

Martha @ #7312: I love my TV chefs and whizzed through the grid almost as quick as those guys who make omelettes on Can't Cook Won't Cook. Or one of those programmes. Might be Saturday Kitchen. Man🐴🐎 (8 years, 8 months ago)

Gussy @ #5743: This was easy peasy lemon squeezy. Man👍🏿 (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jonny Hastings @ #1954: I loved this grid, man. I gunna do some more now cos I luvs Puzz Grids. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Gus @ #769: Wow this was a tough grid. Ouch my brain hurts 👍🏿 (8 years, 8 months ago)

Gus @ #7296: This one was super tough. And I know my music. Man. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Gus @ #7311: Great grid. I loved this one. Man. (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7283: It is good but not sure the categories are distinct enough. Don't worry about the stars - the stuff I have got most stars for is not what I am most pleased with. Genius often goes unrecognised at this level . I liked it. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #2396: The so called planets line is really dreadful .And you could have brown instead of one of those greens. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7295: Agree with others. Poor Answer options , but otherwise a good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #5596: No ,primrose meant in the links explanation I think? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7325: Disagree, thought it was good! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7330: Clever,good red herrings! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jerry @ #7325: You shouldn't have to. Basic error making the grid. Just an awful grid all round to be honest. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7326: Nice and simple (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7325: What's this, a conspiracy? 😀 If you put pairs, threes, etc it works perfectly well. Duh (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7326: Strictly speaking, cinnamon is not a species (see wiki page). bloody in furiatingly good otherwise (8 years, 8 months ago)

Gina @ #7329: Aren't they preceded by Jack? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1969: Oh dear! spoiled by answer selection (8 years, 8 months ago)

frogfloyd @ #7329: Leonardo spelt incorrectly. (8 years, 8 months ago)

turf @ #7326: that was tricky (8 years, 8 months ago)

frogfloyd @ #7327: Is "sea" a type of snake? Good otherwise. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7296: Top grid but poor answer parameters: singing drummers x, took names from book characters x (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hoof Hearted @ #7318: Parp!! Parp!! Paarrppppp!!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1498: Very Good Grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #7321: I'll be more careful next time not to make that mistake! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Stevie @ #7321: Not a big fan of adding a game of thrones reference in amongst otherwise well known, everyday references. If you had a full group about game of thrones, fair enough I just wouldn't know it, but to stick an obscure reference to it in amongst a group of well known terms is a bit irritating. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Bananaman @ #7320: Bottom of the barrel grid. And saying "a medium sized tuna" doesn't exist because they are all massive is moronic. Any species with any size variation has individuals which could be described as medium sized within the range of sizes they come in. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Perry @ #7325: Poor, poor grid. Easy but none of the answers worked. (8 years, 8 months ago)

terry @ #7325: Poor. Would not accept the single words three. four, five or pair for the links so we'll all have to guess your exact wording of the answer. (8 years, 8 months ago)

ika @ #7320: to obscure to be off any quality grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Geekyj @ #3985: Excellent grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #7317: Really bad football grid. Not impressed by tenuous connections like muslim footballers and the unmemorable Great Britain 2012 team. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Ryedrop @ #692: So these shoes really can be tied! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Frank @ #7321: It was a wedding feast where a lot of blood was spilled in Game of Thrones. (8 years, 8 months ago)

me @ #7237: GOAL BALL ???????? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7320: Indeed, mind-boggling information,particularly Xbox line for me.good stuff. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7321: I think it has something to do with Game of Thrones! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7321: What's a red wedding? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hoof Hearted @ #7319: PAAAARRRRPPPPPP!!!!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7320: I can certainly say I learned a lot doing this grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7319: Get the hell out of here you stupid idiot and crawl back in to the hole you came from! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #1365: Love is all around us you know! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7317: Hated it! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7319: A strange grid.need to find your wavelength! Will rethink. (8 years, 8 months ago)

jonny @ #3804: HARD (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7306: A puzzle of your imagination. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7311: Liz Taylor husbands? Other than that, superb. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7312: Good but wouldn't let me have 'catering jobs'. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7302: Nice! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7305: Not good lots of errors (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #904: Nope. There is also a black pudding and a whiteout (8 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #7305: Good grid. I got them all. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7312: Good but a bit easy. Nothing too much wrong with that tho (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7311: Not how you spell Alfa Romeo... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Bob @ #7305: Rubbish. I got them all, but none of the answers worked. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7310: Nice and easy :) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7308: This should not have been made available to a public audience. As an aside, how does one 'wave a squirrel'? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7305: Sorry, very poor. Correct answers not accepted. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7305: Character in the Archers is Clarrie. Use Google before submitting. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7290: Clever boy! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #7261: Abysmal grid. No one, absolutely no one, likes or has any interest in Scottish football, not even me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mixu Paatelainen @ #7299: Really easy but not very good. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7302: Ah got it ;-) well done (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7302: Tree, confir? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #7299: I liked this grid and I liked your response to Jib even more ;) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Robbo @ #3042: Think this should come under the category of fiendish (8 years, 8 months ago)

Bests @ #5731: Good, but correct answers not accepted (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7297: Good Grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7296: Well thought out-but very tough (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2518: Easy, but enjoyable (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1491: Not bad. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #3764: Very Good Grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7270: Some people like easy! Choose a harder one,silly, (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7294: Damn, didn't know Pope had the Ancient Greek meaning. Or that Padre was a church position. My bad. The Church outsmarted my not very intelligent design clearly. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #7294: I was unaware that "Padre" could also be associated with a position in the church; (removes foot from mouth). Sincerest apologies to Mister Tom and those affected by my misdemeanors. :'( (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7286: I X the hate factor! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Z @ #7294: Mr Tom pointed out that two options were interchangeable between groups, what was the point of your response? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #5596: Primrose Fawkes and other characters were meant to be misspelt they are homophones. Me - well I guess there are some people who have intimate knowledge of the works of Plato but I ain't one of 'em! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Fred @ #7294: Apologies "Z", i made the mistake of thinking that people would come to that conclusion themselves , thanks for clarifying, I guess we now see what happens when you "assume". (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #5020: Quite straightforward but delightful! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7299: The roman goddess of youth is 'Juventas' so you've inserted a false clue! Ruined the grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Z @ #7294: The grids should have only one possible complete solution with the given categories. You can have as many red herrings as you want as long as no two members of two different groups are interchangeable. So your comment misses the point completely, "Fred". (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7296: The ? was a stupid typo!sorry. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7296: The doors of perception,Jimbo! Aldous Huxley , a quote from William ?Blake. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7296: Really difficult to the point where it's not really fun for me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Fred Pherring @ #7294: Mister Tom....the aim of the game is not necessarily to make a grid with only one possible solution, more often than not the best grids are those that contain multiple possibilities. Enjoyed the grid :-) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7295: Good but not so sure about the brownie sixes - the generic term is surely fairy spirits isn't it? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Paddy @ #7088: Rubbish acceptance of correct answers (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7295: The pixie group could be other things than which you suggest, but otherwise very nice (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7290: Great grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Rachel @ #7137: I got the links right but they said I was wrong :/ (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7294: In Ancient Greek, Pope meant father too. So because of padre, this doesn't have a unique solution (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #897: Good work! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #5566: Very good grid; very enjoyable (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #5472: Currency and Hospital not accepted. Grid was well constructed. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Spikethedee @ #2218: Wedding anniversaries should also be accepted for the jewellery one... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7291: Oh well, you will grow out of it one day. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7292: Didn't enjoy this one. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7291: Awful! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #3481: It should be incorrect, you don't ski on ice (8 years, 8 months ago)

Disappointed @ #6796: Poor you, how sad! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7290: Very good indeed. Loved the female cabinet ministers - if only I had spotted it! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2492: Good Grid, but would not accept "tennis" (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7291: Hmm no less than 4 categories for bed wetters! (8 years, 8 months ago)

i like trains kid @ #6796: stop dissing my puzzle noobs (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #3946: Lots of problems. does not really work (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7287: Nice idea but poorly executed. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7279: Didn't like the fact that I was left with six colours and the spotted clues; from there it seems just like pot luck! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #5725: Whitehouse as clue and answer? I know its picky but the phrase should be "suit you sir" not "suits you sir" (8 years, 8 months ago)

Bryan @ #204: Great (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7287: Biffos, even (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7287: Two Baloos... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7283: Thank you. Can you tell me why it has gone into not good category? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #4736: Well constructed. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2297: Very Good Grid. Well Done! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7284: Nice one ! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #5465: Tough! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1914: Very difficult and even the answer I knew was not accepted. Grids need to a have wide appeal (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1251: Very well put together. Great red herrings. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Rebecca @ #5603: Easy but fun, good for a beginner. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7267: Good work! (8 years, 8 months ago)

trex @ #7274: I identified 3 out of the 4 categories almost straight away but the red herrings and the more obscure group members made it very difficult. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7270: A bit obvious I'm afraid, needs to be a bit more cryptic. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7263: Perfect breakfast grid. And thanks for letting me have 'French dressing ingredients'. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7266: Bowl, run, duck and worm are also terms in cricket. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7263: Very good and enjoyable grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

German class @ #7269: we loved it sooo much (8 years, 8 months ago)

JC @ #7270: Quite fun, but let down by having a category as one of the actual answers! Also, it wouldn't accept my answer of "French cities" ??? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7264: Know it's picky but Warwick is not a county (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs Honeywill @ #7269: This one is correct - enjoy! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs Honeywill @ #7268: I made a mistake on this one - first try, don't use it! Try 7269 instead!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Gordon Smith @ #7261: This is why I don't watch Only Connect! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jonathan Hurtiguten @ #7263: Magnificent matrix! Great grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7256: Hard but good! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Lv @ #23: Good grid. Some names are obscure now but still identifiable. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Thorbert @ #7256: Very good. Good red herring. (8 years, 8 months ago)

liz @ #7033: Excellent challenging and well thought out grid. I couldn't solve it. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Newmann @ #7249: A tricky one but you can't ever defeat me 🤓 (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #852: Great grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Itchyhand @ #98: Clever and fun (8 years, 8 months ago)

Itchyhand @ #7245: A challenge. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2043: Very good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1733: Enjoyable, easy grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

JC @ #7243: Loved it...even though I lost time being convinced it'd contain a "Golden Girls" grouping! Also really appreciated your detailed explanations. More grids please. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7244: Good (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dim @ #7019: Wulf and goolf??? Are you mad? (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7244: very nice (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jenn @ #7238: Like the grid wven if it didn't accept 'The Doctor' as the second link. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7244: Clever Grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7241: Excellent! Really struggled then suddenly spotted the English cricketers with 10 seconds to go! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #7244: Good grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7242: Megapuzz. Can't believe anyone got through that. Top grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #7244: Good tricky stuff! Felt a bit robbed on the squab line, right answer but tight-fisted on the connection front. Still, top stuff. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dim @ #7032: You question setters have to watch with these homophones. Us Norn Irish don't have an Arnt Mabel! (8 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #7237: Nice grid, the Major group was particularly good! (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7241: Didn't accept types of bean as answer (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7243: Good, but very tough (8 years, 8 months ago)

Di @ #6361: That was rubbish you pedantic f**kwit the correct answers came up as incorrect!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #573: One of the best grids I have played. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #3923: Not sure if describing nonsense as a word to describe nonsense is valid or fair (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1620: Good, well constructed grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

? @ #7238: No-one's keeping score Jeb (8 years, 8 months ago)

? @ #7239: Jeb, it was actually a nice grid. Well done SpaPirate (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #808: I didn't think that Pearl was a stone (8 years, 8 months ago)

? @ #7240: You complain a lot Jeb. (8 years, 8 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7193: Some nice ideas, but entity doesn't quite work for me either (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7242: Loved it! Took me until the last guess to get the 'King' group! Tricky are you dyslexic? It says 'act' - anagram of cat. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7241: Didn't accept 'bean' as an answer but good grid otherwise. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7242: How is cat an anagram of an animal? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7242: I was going to use the bill group, damnit. A nice grid, although I was never going to get the King one (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1735: Very enjoyable grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7232: Could find one line, but connections not there! (8 years, 8 months ago)

JC @ #7241: Deceptively challenging...all those possibilities had me beaten by the clock as I rushed to get the last 2 categories! Well done. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dinah @ #7232: I don't know if this was a joke or someone just messing about, but I couldn't make any groups and none of the connection made any sense to me. Seemed like just random words and letters. (8 years, 8 months ago)

KJ @ #7236: "B" didn't work for the clue in which the answer was "B". That's something of a flaw. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #873: Well constructed grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #873: (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7238: nice and evil eid group (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7236: hmmmmmm- too harddddddddddd !!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7237: got me again- public key and goal ball did for me and then I was doomed (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7238: nice grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7239: found it very easy, but I know the county in question well .nicely put together tho (8 years, 8 months ago)

Cat @ #7239: Enjoyed this worked well. Recognised the text well (8 years, 8 months ago)

geekyJ @ #7240: Olives are metal rings you can buy in hardware shops, used in plumbing. The bands have specifically named metals in their names. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7239: It was tricky, but clever. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #862: good Grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7240: Can you explain the 'olives' connection? Also I think Metallica and Iron Maiden can be swapped so your solution isn't the only correct permutation. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7239: Didn't enjoy this one. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7238: Good grid! I think you put 'Rose' in as a red herring but omitting the accent above the 'e' makes it technically not correct. I liked the 'Eid' group! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #7217: Isn't it words repeated three times in song titles rather than in songs? Also, I put this and it flagged up as incorrect - the correct answer given was just a list of band names. Surely wrong? (8 years, 8 months ago)

rez @ #7236: subatomic particles and blennies, very obscure (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7236: Good idea but I feel a couple of the clues were much too difficult in terms of the other answers (e.g. Lenny) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2740: Very enjoyable grid, but answer selections are frustrating. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7225: I don't like it. Poor grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7217: Hmm. I think you're maybe trying to be too clever with your grids. Nice idea though. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7214: Too hard (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7208: Really good grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7229: Wonderful stuff (although what the Catch and Grindr Linking terms were I don't know. I give myself 10 anyway :-) ) (8 years, 8 months ago)

ni @ #7228: "numbers" should have been enough and they're all films as well as book titles. (8 years, 8 months ago)

oddball @ #7217: Of course, thank You! How foolish of me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7227: Excellent grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7212: Right up my street. Many thanks. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #185: Decent (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dave @ #1563: Stupid grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mwled @ #7225: Well I couldn't solve it, but a well laid out grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

RoyBlenheim @ #7031: Should have worked! I had green in the keywords for the connection! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Badly packed kebab @ #1099: Great grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Robbo @ #1818: This was quite an easy one, good for my ego though. (8 years, 8 months ago)

h @ #6873: Good fun (8 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzical @ #6307: Nice grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

ktt @ #7205: Good board. Answers set-up is odd - 'Roald Dahl' not acceptable but 'potatoes' is (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #2931: Correction.Piss Pot! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #2931: And,G ,there is an island called Pisspot! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7196: A lot of thought behind this! Great grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dim @ #7196: This Charmeth's good! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dim @ #7197: Excellent grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7205: Wouldn't accept potato or queens, good grid though (8 years, 8 months ago)

Blest45 @ #7208: Far too tenuous IMHO (8 years, 8 months ago)

Squiggle @ #7185: Enjoyed it! Well done. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Squiggle @ #7194: Some good ideas, but categories too picky (8 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #7157: Stupid wall (8 years, 8 months ago)

R_Gilby @ #7209: Apologies for the error with the linking terms for one of the answers. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7206: Nice grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7206: To do with the wavelength of light etc,Badger! See on google? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Badger @ #7206: Good, but what is a 'red shift'? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7206: Indeed,very neat and enjoyable,Thankyou! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7206: Ahhh nice grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7207: Thanks for the clue! Wasn't really many red herrings though. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #7198: Excellent grid! I'm a fan of both Bob Dylan and Colin Dexter, so was delighted to get the first two sets. I failed miserably with the other half however! (Homophones is a new word for me) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Manny @ #7207: Juninho had me thinking for a minute between the two players (M'boro/Athletico and the Lyon player). Good. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #4683: Nice grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Caroline @ #7205: Good grid- but tricky (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7200: Good grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

dta @ #4878: too US-centric (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #7192: Fine work. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7196: 5 stars (8 years, 8 months ago)

bert @ #2161: suprerb. loved that you used the same anlmals when hiding them in longer words. still missed them though. genius (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7193: Still struggling to come up with something easier I see! (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7192: Good one.So many possibilities that I had the ideas but couldn't pin the categories down. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7192: I'm trying to make some easier damnit, it just never seems to end up that way... (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7192: only got fish= blooming hard but good grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7193: pretty much up to usual standard- not sure about entity though ? otherwise 5/5 (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7182: Imaginative and a couple of good lines though the computer line was too obscure for me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Quizzier @ #7194: Shame the "1" group doesn't accept "one" (8 years, 8 months ago)

dby @ #7032: Yeah, LVGboxhead - I had the same problem. The FDCC category didn't Accept the synonym I used, either. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Lieven @ #7193: Nice. The capes were a great group. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #1942: Excellent grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2296: Very well constructed grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7193: Enjoyed this one. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #204: Good Grid- fairly easy (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #98: Easy but fun (8 years, 8 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7174: With the exception of Queen the rock group, the solutions are so vague that surely many/most/all of these are interchangeable? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7192: Apologies if this looks familiar... I thought I'd posted it yesterday but can't see it. changed one of the groups anyway (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #2661: Nice grid. But as previously stated these are homophones (different spelling and meaning bud sound the same) not homonyms (same spelling but different meaning) (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #4573: Fairly good grid but agree with others - Swiss not a language. Also, thought it should have accepted fruits as an answer, guess it was looking for citrus fruits, but fruits is also valid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7191: That is odd. (8 years, 8 months ago)

dby @ #4573: Swiss isn't a Language. And Arabic isn't a nationality so that's not an option. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7191: Ditto! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister TOm @ #7190: it did accept fruit for me, but not spouses (aargh!) (8 years, 8 months ago)

dby @ #4613: Good grid, but my first row was marked incorrect as I said it was Words meaning "mess Things up", but the answer's "mess up"! (8 years, 8 months ago)

rainman @ #6347: i put in seasoning instead of condiment and got it wrong. Enjoyed the quiz though (8 years, 8 months ago)

rainman @ #6838: enjoyed it thoroughly (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7191: Nice grid if fairly easy. Strangely didn't accept George, Paul, John, or Richard as correct answers even though they exactly match the given answers. (8 years, 8 months ago)

akeks @ #1818: Easy prays pudding and pie (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7190: Nice but wouldn't accept fruit or prime ministers wives (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7185: I agree Row (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7182: Yes I did put them in order but they came up wrong. Still puzzling over that 😀 (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dim @ #4547: If you're English, Garner could turn into Ghana but in my thick Northern Irish accent, it doesn't work. (8 years, 8 months ago)

jimbo47 @ #7189: Sorry new to this. Snowflake is C P Snow others Edward Lear Wilfred Owen and Edgar Allen Poe (8 years, 8 months ago)

Blythe @ #7189: Nasty one Jimbo... I got the groups, but not the last reason... (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7182: I loved it. I could see what you were getting at but ran out of time. wish id seen the 64 connection earlier. 5/5 for ingenuity (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7185: connections a bit irritating but ok grid to solve (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7189: some of this really clever. agree with lieven re bit more detail in the connections (8 years, 8 months ago)

Lieven @ #7189: Who's the writer in Snowflake? Might be an idea to reveal the concealed words in the answers. (8 years, 8 months ago)

KateC @ #7016: Tough as old boots. Good one (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7185: Not sure why Real Ales and WW2 planes weren't accepted. (8 years, 8 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7165: 'Golden' also works for the 'rubber' group (8 years, 8 months ago)

Frank @ #7185: Nice easy grid but those wonderous liquids you named are not just merely beers, they are ales and this should be accepted as an answer. (to just call them beer is like calling Moet and Chandon fizzy plonk) (8 years, 8 months ago)

womble @ #2062: Pretty Good. Last group, 80s films. Had some significant words missing. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7185: Very straightforward (in particular Old speckled hen couldn't be anything else) but I did like the red herring density (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #2661: Enjoyable grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #238: Great Grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7182: I like the idea but I would appreciate if you put the order the clues were supposed to go in on the answer, so I'm not trying to work that out as well. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7174: Not sure I appreciate that there are two groups made of things that precede the same word. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7178: Poor grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

RopyDavits @ #6821: Coen brothers! (8 years, 8 months ago)

ninks @ #7180: The Boyzone one is misleading as he never went by Michael, but Mikey Graham. Also, Michael is spelled incorrectly. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7182: Thought I'd comment before anyone else and say this doesn't really work but I tried 😀 (8 years, 8 months ago)

Delilah @ #7178: You win the award for best efforts in bothering to detail all answers. Makes such a difference, as I like to learn! (8 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #7075: Are you alright dearie (8 years, 8 months ago)

pameLa @ #7075: I am a very friendly lion called Parsley (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sam @ #7176: * Gneisenau, with a "G" ! (8 years, 8 months ago)

ryedrop @ #630: Yeah! At last a puzzgrid we could finish! Thanks (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7178: pretty good (8 years, 8 months ago)

Spellcheck @ #7178: It should be Princess Bride, not Princes Bride. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Meh @ #1121: in the soup....in the raw....what!?! (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7178: Good grid. Answers were a bit specific so wouldn't accept movies or authors as valid answers. (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7174: Not sure this is fair but it is fun. (8 years, 8 months ago)

The Nerk @ #7140: I was totally lost with the Bond girls. Nice grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jed5150 @ #7180: *Michael!!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mopsy McBucket @ #7151: Wow. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tracy @ #7161: Great wall. All worked for me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tracy @ #7166: They are called the Pet Shop BOYS ... marked me as wrong :( (8 years, 8 months ago)

DB @ #6892: Carolina and Dakota are not states, really, unless they are preceded by North and South. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7178: Too easy too guess and categorize...! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #7174: Brilliant! I got the band easily but the other links were frustrating ;) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #7176: My answer of 'Dove' wasn't accepted but still a great grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #7145: excellent. (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #7161: liked this but it didn't accept Shakespeare as a connection for the blue group which was disappointing and I'm not an expert but it didn't accept beer for the purple group either. (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #3800: Agree with the others. Herbs originate from the foliage of a plant these don't. (8 years, 8 months ago)

pale fisher @ #7170: Excrement (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #4860: Good grid. Pitched just right (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mopsy McBucket @ #7170: Glad to hear it Jilljill. I'd say "please come again" but I expect 'coming' might be your issue - which would explain why you're so up tight. I suggest you delete your other apps, put your phone down, get out there and get laid dammit! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #5553: Excellent grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #5578: Very Good Grid. Had me confused even though I saw the theme. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sam @ #7173: Nicely challenging, but satisfyingly doable. Enjoyed that. Also, detailed answers are always appreciated...so thanks all round! (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7174: Nice grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #6823: A nice grid, though a little short of crossovers. I would have expected "Roman roads" to be accepted but it wasn't :( (8 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #7165: Seems not to accept reasonable short forms for what it says are the correct answers. The grid itself is good imho. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #7172: Neither "Paul" nor "birds" worked for me (8 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #7173: "Uncle" didn't work for me - I think Uncle Fester from the Addams Family is a red herring, for what little it's worth. I didn't much care for the fiddliness of the Shakespearean link, but that's just me! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #4573: The blue words actually precede "light" (though I missed it either way!) and I'm not convinced by the languages group (8 years, 8 months ago)

KJ @ #7172: "Paul" wasn't allowed for the answer that was "Paul". Slight flaw there if ever I saw one... (8 years, 8 months ago)

KJ @ #7173: "Uncle" didn't work as an answer. You know, for the one in which "Uncle" came before all their names. Otherwise, ok grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Coolio @ #7173: No red herrings. The Shakespeare group is pretty tenuous. Very poor! (8 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #7058: Are you 10? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7172: Wouldn't take Paul? (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #2897: Very good grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #4547: Didn't get the Garner homophone. Is it supposed to be Ghana? Bit of a stretch if it is. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #1414: Cube numbers plus 1 is stupid (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7172: Nice grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jilljill @ #7170: This revolting grid has made me delete this app (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7170: very educational (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jake @ #5441: Shame the second part of the quiz doesn't work because it was a good grid otherwise. (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7169: good (8 years, 8 months ago)

Besty @ #7171: Tough but fair (8 years, 8 months ago)

Rachel @ #7170: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #7170: Anonymous - guilty as charged. I used a spell checker for almost everythink ;) Almost. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7170: Do you indeed? A rival for Klondike. (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7167: Good variety of categories. (8 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #7167: Really good. Connections were so obvious... once I already knew the answers. (8 years, 8 months ago)

bigbob @ #7170: I like the sound of 'jebs mum' (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #7148: Liked this very much. Just tricky enough to be enjoyable - and I got ten out of ten! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7170: My father died in a horrific gay sex accident years before my birth so that's a sensitive subject for me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #7170: Come on Jeb, son. I'm your father and you should show respect. It wasn't abuse, it was 'bonding'. (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #5376: I typed Michael Jackson songs for the purple clues only to be told this was incorrect. Otherwise enjoyable. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Anonymous @ #7170: Klondike?? How is that any less anonymous than Anonymous? Are you sure you aren't just frustrated that you can't spell it without a spell-checker? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7170: Only group I didn't get was the 'words that describe me' group. I'd have guessed that would contain 'nonce', 'scum', 'cum-guzzler' and 'pindicked'. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Anonymous @ #7165: Just the connections as mentioned below. Otherwise, good grid!! (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #2661: Excellent, enjoyed this one. thought the gun parts were types of organ though. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7170: Quite easy. Didn't get the answer for the body parts but as soon as I saw it (and stopped laughing) it was easy to guess Jeb, me, and Jeb's mother for the other 3 (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #6174: I think the average person doing this puzzle will have no idea whatsoever about the Malazan book of the Fallen! Save this sort of thing for fiendish puzzles please. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #7170: At least I don't hide behind a cloak of anonymity. I'd rather be an idiot than a coward. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Anonymous @ #7170: You are an idiot! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Klondike @ #6988: Holy crap, I scored 0! Go me! (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #1410: Thought the triangle numbers group was stupid. Picking non sequential numbers from a group is almost impossible to see. Also, didn't accept primes as an answer. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Dean Gaffney @ #7170: I haven't had this much fun since that time me and Sonia Jackson got it on. (8 years, 8 months ago)

PAMMY @ #4294: Noble gases count but not inert gases? Spelling mistakes all over the place. Very poor. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7169: Good grid. Marked down 1 star for not accepting animations as an answer. (8 years, 8 months ago)

DJ @ #5129: you might want to accept ghosts as an answer (8 years, 8 months ago)

DJ @ #7161: river was not accepted as an answer (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7163: mnemonic one stumped me and like toast still don't know two of them -otherwise a good grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7164: an irritating grid, mainly cos I couldn't solve it (other than the .coms) probably really clever, just too good for me (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7165: really good grid- lousy connections (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7166: good grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7163: The mnemonics line was inventive but I am probably not alone in only recognising a couple of them. Also got lost by the draft pick so a bit more explanation would have been a good idea. (8 years, 8 months ago)

puffin @ #7148: Perry is not cider as it is made from pears. Cider is made from apples. Bulmers is not a cider; it is a manufacturer of ciders. (8 years, 8 months ago)

ryedrop @ #614: Touch wood, the next one will be easier! (8 years, 8 months ago)

andyt @ #7161: beer was not accepted as an answer (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7162: Very good though my knowledge of drugs slang let me down. Still mum would be pleased. (8 years, 8 months ago)

New player @ #7165: Got the connections without too much difficulty, but wouldn't recognise my answers which is a shame (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7157: I was rightly marked correct just putting antiques for the presenters line. Not sure Fiona and Angela would be too pleased though. Good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7165: Ok grid. Didn't work out the rubber group. Worked out the other 3 but didn't accept my answers of golf, prime ministers, and films with the removed as valid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7138: Clever grid. Same as Jeb for me though. Worked out quite quickly the 3 groups with the middle words having worked out 4 of them but not enough time to work out the rest. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Hob @ #1708: Very nice - only found two of the groups and their connections, but enjoyed it all the same (8 years, 8 months ago)

tronkil @ #7161: excellent! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Yap @ #7166: good one - nice red herrings (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7159: Nice. I didn't catch the viruses though in time though (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7159: Hahahaha! I do try to make them solvable. SOmetimes. Try my 7158... (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7159: I solved it-- must be losing your touch- very good grid as usual tho (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7160: another good grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7161: great grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Carolyn @ #1708: What an incredible grid. I didn't get any of them. Very elegant (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7151: Can't you disappear this,puzzgrid? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7161: Good work .spapirate! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Caroline @ #7160: Pretty Good (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7148: I think because they are court cards (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7155: Up to your usual standard (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7156: "Moon" group felt pretty weak to me - otherwise a good and fairly easy grid. I did like the gravity group. (8 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #7025: They rhyme if you are terribly posh (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7155: nice grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7155: Enjoyed this one.Not too much for my dulled brain though I missed one link. (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7148: Good grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mrs T @ #7154: Boring (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7148: Didn't accept the words containing picture cards (8 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzle Paws Enemy @ #6931: I wouldn't give you that point. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Prasan Kumar @ #7150: Great one.was too difficult for me. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7151: Here we go again..puzzgrid parasite. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7151: Kill yourself. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7150: Don't really like these quizzes. I could make four equally acceptable groups of four, yet I failed because I couldn't find your specific connections. (8 years, 8 months ago)

HANNAH @ #7151: *KNOCKED OUT* (8 years, 8 months ago)

SHIRLEY @ #7151: AHHHH SAW GAHD (8 years, 8 months ago)

JAWN @ #7151: SOOO GUD (8 years, 8 months ago)

Baptiste @ #7151: LUV IT (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7150: Nice one for all the puzzgrid football fans? (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #12: Didn't accept web sites or groups (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7134: I just want to say I did not create this grid. It was probably Andrew Ruffieux. The pompous arsehole. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7117: Didn't accept 7 as an answer Agree that the maths group was silly. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7145: The song is 'I Walk The Line'. Mr Tom I believe Jackson was the red herring. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #6732: Not a bad grid but agree with others. Eh does not sound like A. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7001: Nice grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7088: Good grid. Fairly easy. Bad acceptance of answers. Got 0/4 with answers Porridge, Gary, Trades, Islands (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7127: Nice grid. Easy enough to solve. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7143: Rage? (8 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #7017: Was dinosaurs not accepted? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7143: I guess it was,Charmeth (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7146: Good one (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7145: Nice one for beginners, though after 7000 of these grids some of us know our us state capitals rather too well. Presumably there was a red herring to or in the ring of fire group, but I couldn't see it... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7144: Of late, I've found simply typing into Google and seeing what comes up beginning with different letters to be most efficacious (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7143: Nice! Fruit anagrams were great. Was rage meant to be range? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7143: I am probably being stupid but what is fruit ending in rage? (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7143: top gridding !! (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7144: fair enough- certainly of interest ! (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7145: easy peasy but nicely made (8 years, 8 months ago)

Frank @ #7144: Clever grid but of course I can't help with your request (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7026: Nice grid. (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7135: Good grid. Katy Perry songs were a bit too specialised (Peacock only charted 125 in the UK). Fictional Captains answer should be changed as Captain Phillips is a real person. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7144: Bit disappointed that I had to use "use" and "help" since they mean the same thing and the (intended!) fun of this wall is that the prepositions all used in vastly different ways in the various phrases, so I'll be interested if anyone has any other "of" suggestions (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7142: fairly easy but a decent grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7139: Didn't accept rubbish or wet (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7140: Good one (especially the nicely specific months). I couldn't get the Gala group link to accept, but a perfectly reasonable group IMO. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7139: Yes, Darto, you have to read Discworld. stop playing puzzgrid and head for your nearest Oxfam shop. (if you have read Discworld, this is very beginner. I would have probably put "Ice" in stead of "In case". nice idea to use it though; I have been vaguely thinking about putting Carrot and Colon in a grid recently... ) One of the links wouldn't accept Synonym either. not sure what happened there. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7140: would not accept 30 days - good grid though (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7139: Wouldn't accept, wet, just or rubbish (8 years, 8 months ago)

pammy @ #1793: Shouldn't gland be "glans"? (8 years, 8 months ago)

cat @ #7140: good bond girl names rather obscure (8 years, 8 months ago)

Frank @ #7139: Thanks darto, you've gotta read discworld, best series of books ever!!! @Bob: dont understand why links not accepted; i put as acceptable answers for the respective groups: discworld, pratchet wet rubbish, waste just so should have been accepted. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Marshy @ #7140: Found this grid challenging but very enjoyable. Thanks for posting (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7138: probably genius- made me feel a bit thick- great grid (8 years, 8 months ago)

bob @ #7139: got the groups, none of the links were accepted. Just was incorrect for example. silly doing a grid then letting it down with the link (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7139: another good effort- wishing id read discworld tho- not a clue (8 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #7138: Very obscure clues,Exciting grid...I failed miserably, but it was interesting in the extreme! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7137: Good grid but requires a lot of knowledge. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7138: Bloody difficult grid. I got the idea for three of the groups but I don't think I had enough time to really sort through, with the red herrings and all! Nice idea for a grid though. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7135: Mister Tom - I apologise. I mean't the 'Boo' group ;) (8 years, 8 months ago)

frank @ #7133: Nice, got me with the anagrams though (8 years, 8 months ago)

BB9439 @ #7133: Liking the anagrams (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7135: (Jeb - note that the group colours depend on what order you solve the grid in...) good grid. I did bite on the red herring! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7135: Nice to see the overused Cluedo group turn into a nice red herring! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7135: Blue group clue - I think you mean first name. But good grid otherwise! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jem2 @ #7131: Good grid! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #7135: Excellent. Love the Cluedo red herring (8 years, 8 months ago)

j random user @ #7129: Some nice ideas, but no real overlap, so far too easy to identify the sets (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7135: very good (8 years, 8 months ago)

Tricky @ #7132: didn't accept Charles Dickens? (8 years, 8 months ago)

dave @ #7132: didn't accept gun (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7132: Didn't accept types of gun as answer nor musicals! (8 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #7105: Othello the moor! Cheeky (but I like it). (8 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #7131: Apologies John :( I tried to include as many possibilities for options as possible but missed that one out. Give yourself the point for it anyway ;) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7132: I think each of the groups has a member which immediately screams"this must be the connection". Which is fine for some groups to do with red herrings, but if all four do then the grouping makes itself very clear, no matter how many red herrings you get in (8 years, 8 months ago)

John @ #7131: Nice grid but got the answer to NSEW question wrong as the term NSEW was not recognised as an answer :-( (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7132: Nicely constructed but for whatever reason it resolved itself quickly... (8 years, 8 months ago)

caroline @ #7132: tough (8 years, 8 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7120: Surely it can't be half-term already??? (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7127: Damnit put the wrong sport. Good fun tho (8 years, 8 months ago)

caroline @ #7130: Tough but fair! (8 years, 8 months ago)

bert @ #2297: Good grid.enjoyable deserves to be in best grids category (8 years, 8 months ago)

ryedrop @ #608: good puzzgrid (8 years, 8 months ago)

Frank @ #7126: Thanks darto, glad you enjoyed my first attempt at a grid. Willntry and do some more (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7120: somehow I solved it- so shit its actually genius (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7123: quite easy but not a bad grid at all (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7125: not sure what to make of that- blooming difficult for sure (8 years, 8 months ago)

darto @ #7126: great grid- totally impossible for me but very good (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7105: Didn't accept Shakespearian characters as answer! (8 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #7123: Didn't accept architectural features or managers! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Ali @ #7125: Apologies if any links aren't being accepted. Judge any scored for yourself :) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Sam @ #7120: Go home, Pomomofo, your Mother's calling you in from trying to play with the big kids... (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7120: Oh not you again Andrew Ruffieux. You're a pompous piece of ass and your mother should have swallowed! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Andrew Ruffieux @ #7120: This is the best. grid. every. Really pleased with it, It made my day. You should be proud of it. Don't listen to the haters. Different ways to describe combinations of hats and cats is a personal favourite. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Pammy @ #4582: liked this but something not quite right as I entered Lord of the rings in desperation for the fourth and it said correct! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Caroline @ #7123: Medium difficulty (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7120: Pomomofo - this quiz is a disaster. You're poverty. (8 years, 8 months ago)

Jeb @ #7113: It's the name your mother screams out every night! (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7118: Nice and easy, but 1 star off because one of the connections didn't Work (the panacea group- I had your words in a different order.) (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7111: A bit more straightforward than your usual! I don't think the Amy red herring really worked - it is too immediately clear there isn't a group of 4 there. Still fun though (8 years, 8 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7104: Very nice. ( wouldn't have got the saffron group without its rd herring!) (8 years, 8 months ago)

New+lovinit @ #7062: Good one! Nearly didn't get it... but only nearly! (8 years, 9 months ago)

New+lovinit @ #7065: Just right - satisfyingly difficult (but I solved it) (8 years, 9 months ago)

New+lovinit @ #7079: Aaargh. Irritatingly good (8 years, 9 months ago)

New+lovinit @ #7088: I agree - Gary, Porridge and surnames used as trades ahold have been acceptable answers (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #7117: Found it a little tricky Coolio? ;-) (8 years, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #7113: Jeb ???? What sort of name is that? (8 years, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #7113: Shite (8 years, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #7113: Scouse (8 years, 9 months ago)

PJ @ #7113: Shite (8 years, 9 months ago)

KJS @ #7118: Easy, but it works. (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7118: yeah- quite easy but nice grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7118: Good, simple grid. Do capitalise the words though :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

PAMMY @ #7088: IT DIDN'T ACCEPT "ALL CALLED GARY" or SURNAMES THAT ARE OCCUPATIONS FOR THE LAST ONE. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7113: I don't think this grid is for a general audience as the answers seem to be targeting one man. That said, I like the green group ;) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7101: Good grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7095: Good grid. X&Y are separate games so maybe a bit harsh to include them as one? (8 years, 9 months ago)

13E @ #7103: Great quiz matez (8 years, 9 months ago)

Coolio @ #7117: The maths group was ridiculous. Utter rubbish! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #7111: Nice one (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7101: a cracker (as per) got fever and sauce and knew there was snooker but just didn't get it (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7105: very clever (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tposer @ #7101: Loved all the red herrings. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tposer @ #7089: (spoilers:) My only small criticism is that you can conceivably "fill a diary" and so the solution is not unique (diary could be in the blue group and cup in the purple group). But overall thank you for a nice grid with very diverse connections. (8 years, 9 months ago)

TriCKY @ #7101: enjoyed this could not get last one though (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #5466: Didn't accept professions as an answer (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mike @ #7088: Didn't recognise porridge pr professions (8 years, 9 months ago)

liz @ #19: Too easy for words (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister tom @ #7099: The oberon group should also allow what they are named after as a group... (8 years, 9 months ago)

TRICKY @ #3024: PRINGLES MADE BY KELLOGS (8 years, 9 months ago)

TRICKY @ #7088: i agree Row (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7077: nice (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7091: just a bit messy- praps I was having a bad morning = I apologise xx (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #7091: What's the problem darto? (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7082: nice- solved it but thrown by the ec connection (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7082: nice- solved it but thrown by the ec connection (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7084: clever- bloody difficult, with red herrings aplenty- nice one (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7091: I was less pleased (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7095: difficult but quality grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #7091: Oops, yes was pleased with this one 😀 (8 years, 9 months ago)

Omni @ #7089: First one, so any constructive criticism encouraged, guys. (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #7084: I like it. (8 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #7088: Didn't accept famous Gary's as answer or characters in Porridge! (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7088: didn't accept professions or porridge but otherwise good grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #7086: Jeb! It was pointed out to me that colours of groups depend on order of solving?would like to know which rows you meant. (8 years, 9 months ago)

PAMMY @ #7065: FOR THE LAST ONE I PUT ANIMAL TERMS THAT MEAN HUMAN ACTIONS AND I WAS GIVEN INCORRECT - SURELY WHAT I PUT MEANS THE SAME. (8 years, 9 months ago)

PAMMY @ #5135: LIKED THIS A LOT BUT DIDN'T KNOW THE THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE FRIENDS. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7086: Really liked the purple group. I thought the blue group was really tenuous though. A better group for that would make this 5/5. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7085: How hard is it to get it to accept Stark, Lannister and Targaryen for the answers? You absolute moron! Never come here again. Also, no capitalisation on some? Shame! Shame! Shame! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Ali @ #7084: Hopefully all sorted :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Ali @ #7083: Sorry guys I messed up with the green group. I'll make it again. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Robbo @ #5213: They're or they are all. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #7078: Superb. Stuffed me on the elements though. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Yap @ #7080: Clever (8 years, 9 months ago)

Goose @ #7080: Very excellent, with an enjoyably annoying connection (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #7080: Very very clever! (8 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #1487: condiments are seasonings (8 years, 9 months ago)

dennis @ #7049: very specialist knowledge required (8 years, 9 months ago)

dennis @ #7037: It's a pity the answer algorithm can't search. For instance i answered war poets, but the correct answer was world war 1 war poets. (8 years, 9 months ago)

dennis @ #7071: This is my first attempt, so I don't know how, if at all, I can get the right answers to display when I have finished. Other than that, really enjoyed the puzzle (8 years, 9 months ago)

Charmeth @ #7051: Very good! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7030: Andrew Ruffieux. Stop getting so bloody offended. I'm coming for you. Guys. Just if you put what you believe to be a correct answer then count it. No-one is keeping score here. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7058: Andrew Ruffieux. Don't call me an idiot. You better watch your back! I am your worst nightmare. Sleep with one eye open. (8 years, 9 months ago)

PAMMY @ #946: (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew Ruffieux @ #7030: Answers leave a lot to be desired: TELESCOPES no, BEER ANAGRAMS no, GREEN SPACES no. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew Ruffieux @ #7058: You are an idiot. Jeb you're an idiot too. The Serie A clue is far too time specific. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7062: Bravo! (8 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #6968: what is Reggaeton? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7024: Jasper CARROTT - two Ts. You moron! Good grid otherwise. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #7058: Oh well ,glad Ali has a fan,must've been my mood! (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7042: Shame that a grid with some good ideas is effectively unsolvable... (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7058: Fantastic grid! Oddball and darto are losers who sleep alone every night ;) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #7067: (8 years, 9 months ago)

Yap @ #6610: Thanks (8 years, 9 months ago)

Yap @ #7065: Fun one (8 years, 9 months ago)

AMR @ #7054: This is my first, I've been watching Only Connect for the last couple of series, and only now been made aware of making your own connecting walls, could not resist, even if it may be ever so slightly wrong (feel free to constructively criticise) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Yap @ #6630: good one (8 years, 9 months ago)

Frank @ #7065: Good grid, @oddball: saying green group is meaningless as the contents of that group depend on the order you solved the grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #7065: Good apart from green group which was a bit incoherent I think! (8 years, 9 months ago)

andyt @ #7026: didn't accept "contain body parts" (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #7026: Good one. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #6988: Should have accepted 'famous nonces' for the Glitter category. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7042: Prosper isn't an anagram and the guys name is Prospero. (8 years, 9 months ago)

t @ #1006: (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #7015: "Poinsettia" twice in same category? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Yap @ #6842: Nice (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7038: not great. should only be one solution, re and di could be interchanged for example (8 years, 9 months ago)

bert @ #7038: What words can precede piss poor grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #6888: What's MLS? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Ellie @ #79: Tough grid kids. We enjoyed it though😀 (8 years, 9 months ago)

Ellie @ #2726: Great Puzzgrid Thank you :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #7035: Good one. (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #7034: Top stuff. Kicking myself for missing the pea green boat so well done. (8 years, 9 months ago)

nell @ #7035: love it (8 years, 9 months ago)

KJ @ #7035: Olive should have been Olive Oyl. You know - the full name, like the others you listed. (8 years, 9 months ago)

davidcurrie @ #7034: great board as usual (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6968: 'Mercy' and (presumably) 'merci' are not homonyms. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Charlie @ #7016: Enjoyed this one. Derby and Epsom had me for a while (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #7033: excellent (8 years, 9 months ago)

Didi @ #7013: My mistake! Forgot to change it. Anyway, thanks! ;) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #7026: Accepted them for me, but not the singer. Weird! Nice grid though (8 years, 9 months ago)

JC @ #7032: Some really clever, and varied, categories. Enjoyed that! (8 years, 9 months ago)

bert @ #6467: Agree with jeb. Beyond difficult (8 years, 9 months ago)

Nick @ #7025: Lower doesn't rhyme with the other words. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #7009: would not take bear or uncle (8 years, 9 months ago)

tricky @ #7015: "Poinsettia" twice in same category? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #7019: Good one (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mrs T @ #7026: Didn't accept hidden body parts. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dinah @ #7027: Good grid - but I was confused by the fact that one of the groups was a mixture of two different meanings of the same word - it might just be me! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dinah @ #7001: I also thought this was pretty good - Gob must be hard to please! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Codge @ #7025: First attempt; must get better at the definitions (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dinah @ #7025: Answers need some work! Otherwise, good grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #6965: The answer to Squid's point is that the setter probably put a comma after the last word fragment in the list of acceptable answers, which is not accessible to the solvers and is completely separate from the explanations which we can see. The comma effectively means "or" so a blank answer gets accepted as correct since nothing follows the comma. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Harry @ #6833: Good effort, very enjoyable. (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #7020: Every now and then a grid appears with two identical boxes. The problem is that they are not interchangeable and we don't know which is which so it never works. However I liked the delight line even though I didn't recognise the rap connection. (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #6997: I liked the names line so I'll waive the royalty for the use of mine in the animals line. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Emily @ #7017: 'Dinosaurs' wasn't accepted! (8 years, 9 months ago)

AMK @ #1708: Love this grid! Made me think :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Squid @ #6931: I like the way that it initially seems daunting because there are only common nouns but then it falls into place. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Squid @ #6937: @The Lad: the answer should read that each word contains a synonym for a public house I.e. pub, inn, hotel, bar. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Squid @ #6962: Some good red herrings in this one. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Ackworth @ #7007: Isn't that Tin-Tin? But good still (8 years, 9 months ago)

Squid @ #6965: Not sure why but this one marked my connections as being correct when I left the answer box blank. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Squid @ #6967: Yes, the misspelling of faun really made it impossible. (8 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #236: completed this in under a minute (8 years, 9 months ago)

david @ #6140: great mix, good herrings keep up the efforts (8 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #179: good board, good red herrings (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dinah @ #7013: Great grid - but I wouldn't have rated this 'very easy' - I found it quite hard! (8 years, 9 months ago)

BB9439 @ #6999: Like it (8 years, 9 months ago)

MarkyB @ #6994: Surely it should be two fifths of three? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Daisy3 @ #7004: Good crossovers (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #6999: Two wordplay links. Excellent! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #7001: Did Gob not get what he wanted for Christmas? Decent grid, well done. (8 years, 9 months ago)

gappy @ #6994: Sorry, everyone! I was doing this at speed to get it done for a little quiz meeting, and took my eye off the ball: "Two thirds of three" should of course be "three fifths of three". If anyone from the website reads this, feel free to amend or delete the board. Apologies (8 years, 9 months ago)

david @ #1396: good board, few double clues (8 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #2748: was thrown by a few (8 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #1818: great board, good clues (8 years, 9 months ago)

Paul @ #6997: Spelling mistake in solution description for the gems. It's "oxides" meaning gems with oxygen atoms. Most gems are silicates and contain silicon. (8 years, 9 months ago)

david @ #164: very clever use of only small amounts of letters (8 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #2312: easy to view, but eay to do (8 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #2184: Good wall, good clues (8 years, 9 months ago)

Gob @ #7001: Worst grid on here (8 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #6975: Great grid, thanks (8 years, 9 months ago)

Charmeth @ #6995: Charmeth here, holding my hands up and saying that Kamelion should've been "Chameleon" -- else it's not a true homophone. Apologies (8 years, 9 months ago)

david @ #6986: some good words and red herrings (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6986: Really very good! Plenty of red herrings. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6982: Foiled by Wight/White.... and whether the Isle of Dogs is an island or a peninsula is open to debate. Good grid though... Tough! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #6975: Great grid especially with two wordplay links. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #6986: Fictional fliers? Great fun though. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #6988: What do you have to do to be correct? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tricky @ #6937: Different names for pubs I.e. Inn, hotel (8 years, 9 months ago)

mister tom @ #6966: Fair enough - I did think about including SOHO but that would need capitalising... They always get rated harder than I expect so will try to tone things down slightly ;) (8 years, 9 months ago)

a @ #6938: lazy git (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #6781: Nice one (8 years, 9 months ago)

dal @ #184: easy peasy (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tposer @ #6982: Misspelling was annoying but good grid nonetheless. Still kicking myself about the purple connection, it was very well disguised. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Heathypots @ #6982: Rookie mistake, my apologies. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6966: Hmmm... I suppose so. The sun orbit category seemed a little unfair (in that three are natural bodies, and one is man-made). Link felt tenuous, but no denying it's true. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6965: Thought anagrams of partial words was stretching a bit! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Drat @ #6961: Almost anywhere on earth can be preceded by a cardinal direction! I know there is historical significance, but still.... (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6937: Maybe i'm just being stupid, but even after the 'public house' answer was revealed... I still had no idea what the connection was. Are they pub chains? Never heard of any of them. (8 years, 9 months ago)

o @ #6982: a clue is spelled wrong so the puzzle isn't solveable (8 years, 9 months ago)

Frank @ #6982: Not bad but isle of wight is spelled WIGHT!! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister tom @ #6974: Loved it (8 years, 9 months ago)

goober @ #6970: Red eye is a thing - use a different colour (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jane @ #6974: Could names some links in the end! Good grid! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6970: Maybe a bit easy but I did like the multiple red herrings (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister tom @ #6967: That isn't how you spell faun. Play fair. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister tom @ #929: Really enjoyed this, but would dispute " of varying quality". All of them would be better used as fertiliser :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

francesi @ #6906: good grid but read the instructions on defining connections to be less picky (8 years, 9 months ago)

francesi @ #6965: partial anagrams is a bit of stretch (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6965: Very clever, but the engenious group is just ridiculous (8 years, 9 months ago)

Tom @ #6899: Amazing! The best wall I've ever had the pleasure of playing! (8 years, 9 months ago)

froj @ #6936: 'Gift' a synonym for 'gift'? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6825: Nailed it. (8 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #6825: Just going to listen to the B52's (8 years, 9 months ago)

notbenmillar @ #6924: who's ben millar? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6931: 'Decorations' should be and accepted answer for things on the tree. But as it is Christmas Eve I gave myself the points anyway :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6927: You said it... Nice idea though (8 years, 9 months ago)

KJ67 @ #6927: Soz, messed up, one of the Pauls should have read "Hot Fuzz" (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6924: Very good. (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6909: Too obscure to be of any interest to most players (8 years, 9 months ago)

bb9439 @ #6923: Thanks Darto , now you're making me feel even worse , Merry Christmas . (8 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #6925: Loved it! So hard though! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Kevin Miller @ #6926: Tough one (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #6923: marvellous, one of my faves 5/5 (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6918: Very good! (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6913: Nice grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6908: Nice! Thought it should have accepted 'NBA players' though. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6906: What? How much info do you need here? My answers were: F1 Drivers - Incorrect (why?) Tracy - Incorrect (why?) Cakes - Incorrect (why?) Towns and cities in Scotland - Correct (hooray!) (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6892: Really? Eastern European countries is what i put, and it came up as correct. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6891: Decent quality but a bit too easy. The misspelling of Venables threw me at first. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6887: Planet links are also Roman Gods. Should have accepted it in my opinion. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jcp @ #4747: Bloody marvellous (8 years, 9 months ago)

billysuggers @ #6918: nice wall! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6887: Splendid misdirection! ( although there are possible substitutes for Trzy etc which are actual words in English...) (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6875: Shouldn't it be 'Kidd'? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mark Dalton @ #6918: Really good grid. Best we've done. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dave L @ #6913: Good Fun (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #6919: excellent grid. bloody hard tho (8 years, 9 months ago)

Delilah @ #6918: Nice mixture of different links. Enjoyed that. Merry Xmas, btw! (8 years, 9 months ago)

psyne @ #5021: On the group of synonyms for "cut," I put "cut" for the connection and it was marked incorrect... I think that should be sufficient to explain the connection, even without the word "synonyms" included. (8 years, 9 months ago)

cheesed off @ #6906: got all the groups but the connections were all deemed incorrect, spoilt a good grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #6913: Famous works of art? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #6918: And a merry Xmas to you too. Outstanding job. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mister tom @ #6872: In which case, apology accepted :-) also genuinely freaky! (8 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #6881: Should give compass points as correct answer for football teams. also didn't give correct to animal groups (8 years, 9 months ago)

RowG @ #6892: Didn't accept correct answer for east European countries (8 years, 9 months ago)

John Jenkins @ #6033: And is the stupidest link I have ever seen. Seriously, if you can't think of a link, why even write a grid? Ridiculous (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6825: Like it (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6818: (8 years, 9 months ago)

Excellent @ #6818: (8 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #6889: Nice grid with varied connections. The red one stumped me for a long while (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #6891: quite easy, shame about the venables but a good grid nonetheless (8 years, 9 months ago)

Frank @ #6891: Good grid, enjoyed it but you spelled venables incorrectly! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeffery @ #6873: Easy (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dinah @ #6890: Er.... Jamaica is NOT in North America! Lol (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #2652: Thought Lush would be contentious! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #6676: The play-off group will age badly. (but good to see Crystal Palace in there!) Kriss : If there were no red-herrings, the quizzes wouldn't be fun. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #6558: Final group slightly obscure (1-cap 1-goal wonders) but good otherwise (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #4724: the splits on the composers seems quite arbitrary (8 years, 9 months ago)

pammy @ #6881: disappointed that it didn't accept "football teams with directions missing" for first one and "collective nouns of animals "for third one. (8 years, 9 months ago)

PAMMY @ #1924: To say meat is incorrect for the first answer is clearly wrong as they are all meats! (8 years, 9 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6796: Jeez, when do the schools go back? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #3712: Spotted the Fives 1st, which made the rest straightforward. Good otherwise. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Andrew @ #1942: Very little overlap. (8 years, 9 months ago)

RG @ #5958: A very respectable quiz (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6852: Ruined by the mistakes. (8 years, 9 months ago)

natalichka @ #6850: i liked it.. because i enjoyed using my mind's eye to picture words of cartoons past taken for granted.. ^_^ {but yah.. it did not accept mouse/bird/dog/cat.. i don't know if this is because it is very new.. but remembering adding grids myself.. it is good to think of what people will write as the most appropriate & simple answer aswell as you get to put your short summary of course..} hope i have helped.. a good easy grid.. it was fun! simple & satisfying fun! ^_^ peace.... ♡+☮ (8 years, 9 months ago)

meh @ #6770: silicon implants, really? maybe that fembot scene from Austin Powers 2 (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mandi @ #6849: Why wasn't 12 days of Christmas an acceptable answer or Christmas dinner meats ? (8 years, 9 months ago)

natalichka @ #2982: good stuff to make my brain get back to it.... ^_^ (8 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #6852: A few annoying typos: it should have been 'teletubby' and 'phosphorus'. However I loved the diversity of the connections, the blue one in particular was very clever. Nice Grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #6845: Big respect for your apostrophe parenthesis! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #6843: I don't normally enjoy all number grids but this one was great plus I now know what perfect numbers are. Thanks! (8 years, 9 months ago)

D @ #6822: Ticks and mites are not insects. (8 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #6843: Great grid. Many 'only numbers' grids seem to have the problem of two many overlaps between categories, but you seem to have avoided that nicely. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #6846: But a person who knows something wouldn't compose such a sad grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Sensy648 @ #6846: That is very very very very very fiendish but I wish I was a person who knows everything (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jellyrod @ #6303: very good (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jellyrod @ #6438: really good, hard grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6843: Nice grid... Tough! Didn't get the PNs. (8 years, 9 months ago)

KJ @ #6819: Got all of these. Only one it said I got right was the Wombles. You need to be clearer when it comes to putting in your answer strings. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6828: Nice grid... Feeling rather pleased with that. Being a RH fan helped. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #6796: Sad really,,I guess making a real grid was too hard.? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Oddball @ #6845: I liked this very much but it is jackAl. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Kriss @ #6676: Alf Ramsey is knighted too :D but I guess hes not that Ramsey (8 years, 9 months ago)

pernickerty @ #6830: This one came to me quite easily, must be getting the hang of things. Perhaps time to have a go at compiling. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6841: Great grid :) (8 years, 9 months ago)

GaiusNoster @ #6831: Fun grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast. @ #6822: Not bad. I had an idea on similar lines for countries. Probably won't bother now! (8 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #6789: This is enjoyable but suggest the LOL line stood out too obviously among the real words. (8 years, 9 months ago)

valleyfloydroad @ #6840: Absolutely abysmal (8 years, 9 months ago)

Greg @ #6833: Awesome! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Louis @ #6830: Nice one! Some of the groupings took quite a few attempts to get right. Satisfyingly challenging...please do more :-) (8 years, 9 months ago)

Moron @ #6827: Rhomben statt Bomben (8 years, 9 months ago)

Goldfish @ #204: Liked the mix and not too difficult. Though it would be good to correct Dalmatian and Usborne, Spellings don't matter too much here as the clues could not be anything else (8 years, 9 months ago)

Grasshopper @ #6111: Good one - but don't see why it was one of the funniest?!! (8 years, 9 months ago)

darto @ #6825: very good grid (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6825: Nice work! (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6824: Nice grid, but never heard of crow meaning to laugh... and thought it should have accepted 'compound words'. (8 years, 9 months ago)

fleej @ #6824: To crow means to gloat, not laugh. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6822: Nice grid! (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6816: This guy is a f*****g idiot! Keeps putting the same or almost the same stuff in every grid. Your first one was s**t, this one was s**t, and every other in between was s**t. Using a different name doesn't make it any less obvious, you moron! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Cd @ #5566: Grand. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6815: So very, very bad that the guy puts his/her OWN friends in the grid... and so very, very easy that i actually got them. Idiot! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Cd @ #6827: Answers are ridiculous. "Pie" not accepted as answer is "pies" sort it out jonnyd (8 years, 9 months ago)

Claire @ #2185: Worst grid ever, no effort in connections. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6813: Comfortably the worst grid in history! (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6812: Who's friends? Another complete waste of space. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6806: So, so bad. What has happened and can something be done? Not been on for a couple of days, and suddenly there are loads of idiot boards. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6804: Utterly, utterly awful.... Just like the last few. Site has been infiltrated by morons. (8 years, 9 months ago)

pulse41 @ #6803: food you eat? what else would you do with it? (8 years, 9 months ago)

Drat @ #6803: Just no! (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6803: Are you kidding me? The best thing i could say is that it took 4 seconds longer than the last one, because i thought the bad spelling might be a deliberate banana skin. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6798: What? Done in 11 seconds. The most ludicrously easy grid on the whole site. A joke maybe? No crossover or red herrings. Christmas is a thing to do with Christmas? (8 years, 9 months ago)

anonymous @ #6825: Great grid, thank you!! (8 years, 9 months ago)

anonymous @ #6827: Easy grid to solve but the connections seemed to be incorrect even when I put very specific (and correct) answers. Rather frustrating! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Dan @ #238: Replica is a noun (8 years, 9 months ago)

Muggsy @ #6824: arrow for fortune telling - don't you mean tarot? (8 years, 9 months ago)

j random user @ #6742: Some novel ideas, but the complete lack of overlap made this way too easy to solve. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Sigh @ #6791: Aston Martin- NOT Austin martin Britain is not a country - Northern Ireland is the missing UK Country Samsung - NOT Samson Not bad, but a little research to ensure you have what you're going for would be better. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Love me lots @ #6791: Brilliant (8 years, 9 months ago)

HJE7891 @ #6781: I now it all Noah and People in the community we go to School together (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6789: I really don't think 'remote' works, because of the two syllables. Could have just used 'mote', or 'note'. (8 years, 9 months ago)

The Lad @ #6787: Good grid, but i was thrown by 'Hough' because it's more commonly pronounced 'Huff'. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Lor @ #6771: Good (8 years, 9 months ago)

j random user @ #6787: Nice grid, let down a bit by poor answer matching (8 years, 9 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6770: Spelling pedantry aside, this was a sweet, playful little terrier of a grid. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6771: Like eating an off-brand digestive. Meek, falvourless, mealy grid, and the chocolate's not right. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6772: You know those fail videos where there's someone in a boat going down a river and he's a fisherman and suddenly a huge fish leaps out of the water and smacks him full in the face and he's amazed but also gutted at the same time? That's how I felt about some of these fat red herrings. Top puzz. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6774: Quite tricky! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6787: Lovely stuff, though my correct answer for the Watt line was rebuffed... (8 years, 9 months ago)

Colin @ #6731: I loved it, didn't get the landlocked one though. Think the guy below is a bit of a sore loser! (8 years, 9 months ago)

Haud @ #6783: It is very Fiendish (8 years, 9 months ago)

Jeb @ #6780: Worst grid i've seen in a long time. End your life. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Craig @ #6765: Windows for 8 was a little bit of a stretch, much better example of 8s I think. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Mark Dalton @ #6776: There is no leeway with the answers. In fact, when the correct answer was "Capital Cities" the answer "capital cities" was not accepted and the same for languages. An enjoyable, if easy, grid ruined by lack to attention to detail. (8 years, 9 months ago)

Badger @ #6772: Excellent, lots of crossovers (8 years, 9 months ago)

anonymous @ #6782: Can I also add that you probably wanted "stationery" and not "stationary"? Although, I suppose all those items are stationary until they are thrown at a computer screen due to infuriating spelling mistakes!! (8 years, 9 months ago)

anonymous @ #6776: I managed to get all the groups but the connections were obviously after a very specific wording. It might improve the grid if the connections had a little more leeway as I am sure F1 circuits should be acceptable and I could go on!! (8 years, 9 months ago)

GrapeMax @ #6783: Very Fiendish (8 years, 9 months ago)

Plyde @ #6783: It is Very Very Hard (8 years, 9 months ago)

Sensy648 @ #6783: That is very hard (8 years, 9 months ago)

Sutra @ #6683: Loved the days one :D (8 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6699: Great grid! I couldn't find the connections due to the many possibilities, but I got the 'A' and 'one letter symbol' category. I don't think it is too bad having so many connections... It is sort of the point of the game... And you could say all the element decay, but it is quite clear that elements such as Uranium are very radioactive, so the category works well, I think. Overall, not as bad as Baffled makes it seem (well, in my opinion anyway)... (8 years, 10 months ago)

anonymous @ #6667: There is also a little book, called a dictionary, that might help with a few of the errors. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Neve and Eloise @ #6681: It was really fun! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Baffled @ #6699: These puzzles are supposed to have one unique solution. If 2 or more clues can be interchanged without redefining the solution, then it cannot be unique. 4 x Atomic numbers are prime & symbols begin with "A". Silver, Aluminium, Actinium & Gold 2 x Symbols have single letter & atomic numbers are prime. Nitrogen & Potassium Took some time to check, and I can see at least 16 solutions for this puzzle. Even if you worked out what the groups were, you could be here all day getting the combination submitted. There is also the question of "What is radioactivity?" Most substances decay over time and, if I remember my science classes, all 16 could be considered radioactive. (8 years, 10 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6692: good red herrings (8 years, 10 months ago)

melanie @ #6468: ike the torut (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6613: excellent (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJ @ #6533: Awful. "Games" was cited as being wrong because I didn't use a capital "G". Chicago being put in twice is the stupidest thing I've seen on this site so far. (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJ @ #6609: "Rockets"? Really? (8 years, 10 months ago)

GaiusNoster @ #6591: Really enjoyable :) (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJ @ #6605: Poor. Got all four right (easily), but it said I got 2 wrong because your descriptions were awful. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister tom @ #6605: Nice ( if you know the show...) not sure why the connection for the Milne group didn't work for me though, maybe be slightly less prescriptive next time. (8 years, 10 months ago)

The Lad @ #6580: Some nice red herrings in this. (8 years, 10 months ago)

LizW @ #6347: A pony is not necessarily a young animal. It is an equine 14.2 hands and under of any age (8 years, 10 months ago)

Brrrrrrrr @ #6399: Good grid, almost caught out by red herrings but made it in the end. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Brrrrrrrr @ #6475: Tough, but fun. Did not resolve it but once the answers came up it was good to find the links. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mr Brightside @ #6511: Enjoyed this grid. It has been well thought out. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Rick @ #6580: It wouldn't accept 'ducks' for 'famous ducks'' (8 years, 10 months ago)

Smiths @ #6347: A pony is not a baby animal as technially it is a small horse. 'Pony' is based on the horse's height. 'Foal' is the correct terminology. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Gary @ #255: You can swap Pig and Man, as pig iron exists and there are lots of nursery rhymes with men in them. (8 years, 10 months ago)

VCM @ #6531: Great grid! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6556: The backwards names were a bit to easy to spot, because Eihpos isn't really anything else. "Eros" would work better, for example. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Jeb @ #6559: These football quizzes are really starting to annoy me. You've just put 16 random players on a grid. There is no skill. It seems either you know it or you don't. The connections are far too obscure and you're ruining this website. Please leave immediately. (8 years, 10 months ago)

liamio789 @ #6535: football is good. (8 years, 10 months ago)

The Lad @ #6556: Nice grid. A bit easy though and no red herrings. Also... Should be Triton, not Tritan but got it anyway. (8 years, 10 months ago)

The Lad @ #6533: Entered 'games' and was incorrect. Thought i hadn't been specific enough, and looked at the answer which was lo and behold..... Games! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Sarah and Daniel @ #1181: Still doesn't accept sauce (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6556: quite easy but not a bad effort (8 years, 10 months ago)

melanie @ #6432: Did you mean James Stewart? (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6559: impossible- and I love football far too obscure- you could rearrange those names in umpteen different ways and still get a solution= total garbage (8 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6548: Liked the fact they were all countries, and I was looking for word/spelling and flag connections... but all sport related... I had no idea what any of those sporting things were @.@ (8 years, 10 months ago)

bazhk @ #6547: Good quiz! (8 years, 10 months ago)

FourFourTom @ #6545: I didn't enjoy this grid too much. I thought the links were way too specific and you've alienated the people who come here to have fun. You have brought shame upon your family. (8 years, 10 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6415: Nice (8 years, 10 months ago)

Oddball @ #6239: .?..? (8 years, 10 months ago)

Oddball @ #6538: Too many football grids for me but I bet they are popular. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Jeb @ #6538: This is a bad grid. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Jeb @ #6533: Put 'games' for the games group and it wasn't accepted. Really bad idea to put Chicago twice - this ruined the grid for me. Lost a life by picking the wrong one. Shame on you. A generous one star. (8 years, 10 months ago)

davidcurrie @ #6535: 10/10 in just over a minute. Keep bringing on the football ones (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6533: nice grid tho very easy (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6535: I love football but this is way too obscure with too many possible solutions (8 years, 10 months ago)

Al @ #6535: The grid is fine but I suspect the author is trying to over compensate for something... (8 years, 10 months ago)

Andy @ #6505: Clever and a little devious. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Maradona86 @ #6517: My first attempt at a grid, apologise for not including sitcom. just getting the hang of it. (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJ @ #6517: Easy. Well, apart from the bit where giving the correct answer results in it telling me I'm wrong. "Sitcoms", for example, was wrong. Even though it was right. (8 years, 10 months ago)

TopNotch @ #6475: Really good grid :D (8 years, 10 months ago)

B2point0 @ #6472: Thanks for the feedback. Specifying Rebirth shouldn't be necessary to get awarded the point. :) (8 years, 10 months ago)

Klondike McTuckett @ #6513: Cool! I was a bit annoyed that it didn't accept VW, however was delighted to see ARTHROPOD was an acceptable answer for the 'mini-beasts'. (8 years, 10 months ago)

anonymous @ #6513: Firstly it was a decent grid, if a bit easy. Unfortunately, it didn't accept VW for Volkswagen. It then didn't like "sports that use bats/clubs". I then put insects which is clearly wrong as not all bugs have six legs but to my astonishment it is accepted. Not great!! (8 years, 10 months ago)

x @ #6513: Spiders aren't insects (8 years, 10 months ago)

martin @ #6514: hey hey (8 years, 10 months ago)

john @ #6514: excellent stuff, geoff! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6513: Good grid. I think 'cars' and 'sports' should have been acceptable answers for those categories rather than being a tad too specific. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Kristaps @ #1730: Pack etc. did not accept "group of insects" Snuff etc. did not accept "synonyms" Otherwise good one (8 years, 10 months ago)

c0mraid @ #6472: Fun quiz. I think it struck the right level of difficulty; although did you have to specify about Rebirth? (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6513: very easy but nicely put together. connections a bit off but never mind (8 years, 10 months ago)

Sigh @ #1394: Once upon a time in the not so distant past - Panda's and Koala's were both called bears by the unlearned. This was later corrected in the 70's and early 80's. Yogi tea is new to me! Others have already commented on the spelling error. I thought it was a well done and fun grid. Thank you. (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJ @ #6513: Got all of these right, very easily. However, the answers given registered as wrong in 2 cases. Poorly put together. (8 years, 10 months ago)

mister Tom @ #6513: Nice, but " ball games" should score. ( and " insects" _shouldn't_.) (8 years, 10 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6314: Three great groups but let down by the fourth, which is rubbish. Two of the four aren't even close to being homophones. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6443: one of the groups can also be preceded by the same single letter... (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6336: Not sure if this is for general use - but it would be great if you were learning Spanish. (My kids are - chuffed I got 7 out of 10!) (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mehhh @ #6397: Bum-hole : F-art (from previous). A bit juvenile isn't it. Also, I decided to change the 2nd letter to 'e', of each word and gt nothing. It's stupid. (8 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #6397: Decent enjoyable grid. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6426: Nice red herrings - but I don't think I would ever have got the last group! (adding to words is probably fairer than taking letters away from them.) (8 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #6347: Sue, you touch or click on the "incorrect" . For the final category you may need to take the option offered to return to the answers before grading the grid. Hope that helps if you are still unsure. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #5346: Haha! easy once you got the theme, but no worse for that (8 years, 10 months ago)

Appulsorse @ #6347: Surely a pony is not a "baby" animal. Maybe this should have been "foal"? (8 years, 10 months ago)

Chris @ #6412: I'm afraid I agree with Jeff. Aside from the easy link (Hogwarts Houses, of which one was spelled incorrectly, and the correct answer for the link was not allowed!), the other three were far to vague to actually be considered a connection. (8 years, 10 months ago)

anonymous @ #6412: Well done for trying Alice and not a bad grid. Take the advice but try and ignore the negative tone from others! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Alice2002 @ #6412: I'm sorry, I don't know how to edit it and I am only 13 years old. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Jeff @ #6412: Rubbish. Wouldn't allow Hogwart's houses as an answer. Didn't allow 'dictionary'. Popular last names is too vague. cities is too vague and you spelled Gryffindor wrong (8 years, 10 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6399: I kept thinking there's a horse category :) nice grid with good red herrings (8 years, 10 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6400: Good one (8 years, 10 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6401: Good one. I really enjoyed it :) (8 years, 10 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6412: Not very good associations. And I think popular last names is a very vague link. Otherwise good job. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6413: It didn't accept colours or soft drinks (8 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6413: I typed in 'colours' for the colour category... and it wasn't accepted :( nevermind... (8 years, 10 months ago)

alphadelt @ #6404: Didn't accept 3 or my 4 correct connections. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #6398: Didn't accept guard (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #48: Very nice (only quibble is two wordy connections - palindrome and anagram...) Difficulty just right - Should have been fully solvable but wasn't. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6388: I couldn't see what the misdirection was supposed to be (and gnocchi is not actually a pasta). Try finding things which will fit into more than one category (and if you can't think how to do this change the category slightly?). For example, you could go for the english transaltions of pastas - Quills, Shells, Little Strings and Worms would make a nice group. (And Worms is a city on the Rhine. I might run with this...) (8 years, 10 months ago)

Mister Tom @ #6404: Nice red herrings, but one lot of anagrams is usually enough (8 years, 10 months ago)

Delilah @ #6404: Really good one...enjoyed that! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6404: It doesn't accept 'soup' as an answer (8 years, 10 months ago)

AverageAtBest @ #6373: Excellent grid...for a handful of people. (8 years, 10 months ago)

AverageAtBest @ #6383: Countries with the first letters removed is pretty vague. Would work better if it was the same first letter for all of them (8 years, 10 months ago)

AverageAtBest @ #6398: Answer for QoS captains contains Emlyn Hughes but should be Bill Beaumont I think. Other than that, nice work! (8 years, 10 months ago)

mattb811 @ #6385: A homonym is two words that sound the same but are spelled differently, eg eight and ate. These are not homonyms. (8 years, 10 months ago)

T @ #6397: An enjoyable quiz with no obscure clues, but I felt one of the groups (the vowel one) was a bit loose. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6388: :/ Should have checked before... Thanks Wikipedia... (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJS @ #6373: Quite a niche board to say the least! I immediately knew it was football related - Ian Hendon, Charlie Daniels, Andy Barcham etc all played for my team Spurs - and I recognised other surnames as being footballers (Barnard, Lockwood, Williams, Nugent etc), but I don't know enough about Leyton Orient to complete it. (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJS @ #6384: Decent. (8 years, 10 months ago)

KJS @ #6385: You spelt Guinness wrong. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Andy @ #6203: Superb (8 years, 10 months ago)

Liz @ #6199: 'North UK' is far too vague. 'North England' would have made more sense. (8 years, 10 months ago)

Liz @ #6237: Agree with the comment about definitions - it wouldn't accept my answer of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' (the correct name of the play!). (8 years, 10 months ago)

darto @ #6389: excellent grid (8 years, 10 months ago)

fantom @ #6388: Nice grid, apart from Cologne! (8 years, 10 months ago)

Matthew @ #5603: Home Nations marked as incorrect for the country group connection.... (8 years, 11 months ago)

simon @ #1637: The translations are too specific. For instance i translated "ayer jugu al futbol" as yesterday i played football. Apparently this was incorrect. The given transaltion was i played football yesterday. And by the way there is no apostrophe in "on Tuesdays" (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hugo First @ #6312: I just don't see the point of this. Unless you give people a chance, it's nothing more than a narcissistic exercise in willful obscurity. (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6314: ditto Beirut but otherwise a cracking grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6312: my sort of grid but blimey it was hard (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6299: Hi Faye- fair enough x (8 years, 11 months ago)

Mark Dalton @ #6309: Really irritating grid. Very, very disappointing Phil. Just appalling. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Farto @ #6302: Think the punctuation one might be colON,comMA,haSH,daSH ?? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6311: Wow! Some of those categories I could have got. Very good :D (8 years, 11 months ago)

T @ #6311: Awesome! Great concept and nice connections that were the 'oh, how did i miss that' sort! (8 years, 11 months ago)

PhilB @ #6307: Good mixture (8 years, 11 months ago)

PhilB @ #3450: Signs of zodiac also correct (8 years, 11 months ago)

T @ #6299: I liked the concept and the connections were interesting and varied. The only problem was the two 'L' tiles which meant I had to try many combinations twice, once with each of the 'L' tiles. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Jackie @ #368: Enjoyable but not too hard really (8 years, 11 months ago)

Lin @ #6276: Fun - and not too hard! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5603: Yay! I scored the full 10 points... (unsurprisingly)... (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6264: Whoops... Didn't spot that extra e in bonfire... Nevermind... (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #663: Really liked this one. (8 years, 11 months ago)

sh @ #6264: tasty (8 years, 11 months ago)

T @ #6264: Great quiz. I particularly liked the islands connection. The only annoying thing was 'Bonefire'- I wasted time, convinced it was a deliberate error and hidden body parts was a connection! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Mr Cow @ #6255: If i could give negative stars i would have. Worst Grid EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Canterbury de Havilland Auk @ #6194: Pretty good, I guess -- I've never played this game before. I felt a bit ripped off by the rejection of my guesses for the connections. (But they were very general. "bands" was accepted. "birds", "wings", and "keyboards" were rejected. That last one, at least, should be accepted, I think.) (8 years, 11 months ago)

pernickerty @ #6255: The phrase about the quick fox is incorrect. There is no 's' or 'g' here. "THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG". This is a typing exercise and is the shortest sentence which makes grammatical sense and uses all the letters of the alphabet. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Squiggle @ #6206: Good one...I should've recognised the loco wheels! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Ken Aveyard @ #6272: First two were easy, third no idea and fourth a pure guess. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6264: Good one. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Linda @ #6139: Nice one to get started thanks (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6263: The anagrams line was asking a bit too much for me but overall a fair challenging grid. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6263: Great grid! (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6204: far too difficult and obscure for me but very clever (8 years, 11 months ago)

anonymous @ #6255: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog - that sentence uses every letter in the alphabet but unfortunately your's doesn't!! (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6236: sorry but that's inaccurate garbage= better luck next time eh (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6240: quality (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6255: its .... over the lazy dog- hence impossible to solve (8 years, 11 months ago)

Delilah @ #6237: Enjoyed that! More please... * HelEna, rather than HelAna, though?! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Mark Dalton @ #6237: Your definitions are far too narrow. Some improvement required, otherwise a good grid. C- must try harder (8 years, 11 months ago)

faster faster @ #6229: solved with 12 secs left ;-) (8 years, 11 months ago)

Oddball @ #6236: Nice grid..but should it be kipL? (8 years, 11 months ago)

LNER @ #6206: bogies (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6232: I meant supernan. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6232: Great fun. I once had a superman in a Balti house in Birmingham. (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6220: very clever (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6229: solved with 11 secs left. so just about perfect good grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

OJS @ #6232: It was super gran, not nan. (8 years, 11 months ago)

EnterZarbi @ #6219: A *very* hard grid for an British person. I scored nothing at all! (8 years, 11 months ago)

ron @ #6232: Just checked and could be either nan or nanny. (8 years, 11 months ago)

EnterZarbi @ #6232: A well consructed grid. Should 'nan' be 'nanny'? (8 years, 11 months ago)

EnterZarbi @ #2296: Super grid, very well jusdged difficulty (8 years, 11 months ago)

ron @ #6133: Like it...ta (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6226: The only puzzle is why you bothered. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6226: Certainly is the best grid in the world..... hence why it gets a 1/5... Yep, next time can you create proper grids with actual answers? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6199: Good to soft. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6205: Superdry grid. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6208: Moist, earthy grid. Hearty stuff. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6207: Another lovely grid, though it gave me a point for an incorrect answer... (8 years, 11 months ago)

bob @ #6208: well thought out grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

bumslinx @ #6211: great grid - I only managed to get 5/10 (8 years, 11 months ago)

CamemBear @ #6207: Great, one of the groups is a little too niche (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #6177: I agree with Andy . My answers were correct but marked as incorrect. I put Sports Gropunds/Underground Stations/Battles and it marked them all incorrect ! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6203: Great grid! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Samuel @ #6191: One I got quite easily, one I should have got. Very good! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Batman @ #6205: Great fun and I had to wrap my head around some of these links. (8 years, 11 months ago)

guesswork @ #491: Very very good but should get at least 4 points as long as you know one from each section (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy 2.754 @ #6177: Shocking! (8 years, 11 months ago)

M and M @ #6196: Fun board! (8 years, 11 months ago)

EP44 @ #6201: I enjoyed this one. Thanks. (8 years, 11 months ago)

HomeSlice @ #6201: Great puzzle! Last ones hard, but doable. (I just ran out of time.) (8 years, 11 months ago)

anonymous @ #6171: As toast said the grid was pretty good, albeit quite simple. It was a shame about the links because it is just disappointing when you look at what are essentially correct answers and you are marked as wrong (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6196: Great grid. It's fun trying to separate one giant category into four :D (8 years, 11 months ago)

Mr K @ #6196: Please don't be too harsh, it's my first attempt at this. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Anomander Rake @ #6174: It 's a series of excellent books (8 years, 11 months ago)

melanie @ #6174: What is the Malazan book of the fallen??????????? (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6188: A bit easier than I'd have liked to guess rather than work out two of the lines, because one comprised four names and another had words all ending in s. Apart from that I enjoyed it. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6187: Good varied grid. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6096: Ingenious! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6100: Good grid. I got a bit hung up on black and white animals. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6101: I solved the grid and my daughter got the connections! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6105: Are you being served characters - genius! (8 years, 11 months ago)

guesswork @ #2661: Completed the grid but did'nt get the animals connection enjoyable nonetheless (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6180: good one. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Oddball @ #204: Apologies,it's both! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Oddball @ #204: Think it's pelican crossing actually. (8 years, 11 months ago)

blind guess @ #2296: Brilliant grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

Markiemark @ #204: It's Pelicon crossing not pelican. And I have not heard of toucan crossing (8 years, 11 months ago)

KitMit @ #12: You'll probably never read this but thanks Ally for going to the bother of making this grid. Shame about all the utter ingrates posting snide remarks. Some of the comments are fair enough but 'pointless' and 'crap', really? What sort of tool writes that? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dubnium @ #6163: No use (8 years, 11 months ago)

melanie @ #6162: Good wall (8 years, 11 months ago)

Rebecca @ #6180: Need to widen parameters (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andy @ #6177: Answer parameters are shocking. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Yellow @ #5897: Too easy (8 years, 11 months ago)

Markiemark @ #6167: Sorry that was a mistake with the same word twice. These are my first three submitted. Hopefully I will get better. Thanks (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6175: Good one. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6173: This seems to bethe same grid as 6172 and 6171 on which I left a comment. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6171: Pretty good , I liked the popes line. However all my ( essentially correct) answers were marked incorrect. Suggest you re-read the guidance on setting the links for acceptable answers. I enjoyed the grid anyway. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6167: That should be they are not interchangeable. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6167: Not bad but it is not fair to have two words the same in different lines because we can't know which one goes with which line . They are not interchange . (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast . @ #6164: Enjoyed this one. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6162: I liked the pronunciation line. (8 years, 11 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6133: Good stuff (8 years, 11 months ago)

Sam24 @ #6158: :-) Liked your style, otherwise. More? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Steve @ #6148: Too pop culture (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6158: :\ Didn't spot that error... oh well... you can give yourself a bonus point if you like :) (8 years, 11 months ago)

Sam24 @ #6158: Challenging! Even more so, though, as Gordon to JordAn is TWO letter changes... (8 years, 11 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6157: Tough one. For me at least (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dody @ #1925: (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6156: thumbs up (8 years, 11 months ago)

Rudolf hucker @ #6114: (8 years, 11 months ago)

YIMann @ #6149: Good connections to guess, nice possibilities to guess allowing multiples stabs at possible set of four without getting frustrated (8 years, 11 months ago)

Pulibomb @ #6156: I liked this one. Nice and fun (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hugo First @ #6153: Henry - you can do better than this. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Zeni @ #6153: Physically impossible to get the categories by chance, and typing in homophones as the answer, is incorrect. At least it makes all the other grids seem like masterpieces... (8 years, 11 months ago)

Ted @ #6153: Bell end (8 years, 11 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6108: Ide is a species of freshwater fish (8 years, 11 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6105: Easy but enjoyable (8 years, 11 months ago)

alphadelt @ #6153: How is this still on the frontpage? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Oddball @ #6153: This is a disaster..take it away. (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6151: I found this one quite tough. Guess I'm not familiar with the themes of the connections :) (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6152: Good grid. I enjoyed this one (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6153: Sorry to say but this is literally the worst puzzgrid ever (8 years, 11 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6153: Horrific... I could see that all the clues were homophones of letter, and I thought there would be an interesting link between some of them... But not only were all the answers the same, the answers of 'homophones of letters' isn't even accepted... :( (8 years, 11 months ago)

Ggreer @ #6148: Nice one (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dickie @ #6133: Nice grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

BarbOxon @ #6140: nice grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6150: Like tapping open an undercooked egg. Soft, sloppy grid, barely worth dipping my answer soldiers into. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6057: Gosh, HenryMoff must be ever so clever. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6141: Puzzed the f*ck out of us with that banana herring. Dirty grid, this. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #6149: Sid's right, but the school of herrings made up for that somewhat. (8 years, 11 months ago)

RowG @ #6150: Didn't accept correct answer for no.1 (8 years, 11 months ago)

anonymous @ #6140: Great grid. Loved it!!! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Sid @ #6149: Having four "preceded by" rows lacks in variety somewhat. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Mr A @ #6140: Good grid, keep it up :-) (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6138: Good grid. Poor connections (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6105: Thanks for the 2 points that I didn't deserve :) (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6110: excellent grid. Connections could be made better though (8 years, 11 months ago)

Thanks Bob @ #6131: It's "terrible" because it's not for public consumption. Hence not being published... (8 years, 11 months ago)

pulibomb @ #6141: I didn't realise banana was a herb (8 years, 11 months ago)

Bob @ #6133: I remember the Dave Clark 5, just (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6139: Nice to see a new grid. I was wondering where everyone had gone! (8 years, 11 months ago)

V.Easy Grid @ #6139: Nothing quite like an easy grid, well suited to beginners. Good luck everyone :D (8 years, 11 months ago)

kat4911 @ #6137: Good grid but I suppose I'm just not good at two of the categories! (8 years, 11 months ago)

spike @ #6111: good balance (8 years, 11 months ago)

Gerald @ #6137: Nice one (8 years, 11 months ago)

MaryHuff @ #6138: Henry, after attempting many of your previous grids I can say that they themselves are not "bad" but what you are putting in as acceptable answers must be to specific, try following the instructions on the submit grid page, i'm sure I am not the only one who gets frustrated getting the answer right and seeing "incorrect". (8 years, 11 months ago)

HenryMoff @ #6133: this one stumped me! well done! (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6109: nice (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6127: sorry but that's garbage. what a waste of 3 minutes. impossibly difficult doesn't always equal good (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6133: another quality offering from you (8 years, 11 months ago)

Natasha7 @ #6133: Nice selection of categories and clear, detailed explanations of answers...well worth your efforts. More please! (8 years, 11 months ago)

RowG @ #6100: I'd hardly call a wolf cute! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #555: Elvis should leave the building... Very hard, but so what...we can't be right all the time. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dan Druff @ #6129: Very niche knowledge....another category that would fit in well is "people who like fried rice with their Chinese rather than chips". (8 years, 11 months ago)

Bob @ #6131: Terrible! (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6110: Enjoyable grid. Same problem as RowG. (8 years, 11 months ago)

T @ #4633: Nice grid, but I was able to guess two categories immediately by selecting 'things that sound like names' and 'things that don't sound english' without having a clue of the actual link. (8 years, 11 months ago)

millie @ #6107: this was hard but fun and I found it difficult to find links (8 years, 11 months ago)

Number1Son @ #6107: Good Straight forward grid and had no problems accepting my answers. :) (8 years, 11 months ago)

HenryMoff @ #6093: enjoyed this one also, very good. well done! (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6108: I liked the word-based lines, not sure about the accuracy or accessibility of the other two which I didn't get. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Oddball @ #6108: ?purple group? (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6107: Nice though you have some ideas which make it very difficult for you to set comprehensive answers. Keep going as it's the ideas that make a good grid - the definitions are of secondary importance ( but do take care with the typing). (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6105: Excellent.Very good red herrings and varied. More please. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6100: They are just trying to look clever. Its not so easy if you've not heard of stuff. And I've met a badger and it was calm and I felt special but it was powerful rather than cute. Keep up the grids. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Oddball @ #6107: Saunter I think,,and potato surely precedes..but good ideas. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6098: Thanks. It's obscure but on the other hand I've learned something and enjoyed the grid. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Rompa @ #6101: A good grid - as noted, Arial is the correct spelling. No issue with non-use of term "typeface". They're fonts!!! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #538: Good one... :) (8 years, 11 months ago)

m @ #6096: ok (8 years, 11 months ago)

m @ #6098: ok (8 years, 11 months ago)

anonymous @ #6100: Quite easy but that makes me feel good about myself so thank you (8 years, 11 months ago)

anonymous @ #6101: j random user needs to learn his Disney princesses then because Jasmine is in Aladdin which would throw in a 6 possible answer group. Well done ElsieHand a really good grid. Thank you!!!! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #6101: That's a bit harsh. There's a few more overlaps with names. Quite fun, thanks. (8 years, 11 months ago)

ron @ #6098: Verb of entice or length of ball in cricket. (8 years, 11 months ago)

j random user @ #6094: Nice grid, let down by the answers. "Coast" not accepted for the coasts. "Anniversary" not accepted for the "number of years married" group (8 years, 11 months ago)

j random user @ #6101: Very poor. The only real overlap between groups achieved with a typo ("Ariel" is a Disney princess, "Arial" is a typeface). And the group of typefaces does not accept "typefaces" as an answer. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave @ #6100: a bit too easy for an easy rating. But that is me (8 years, 11 months ago)

jeff @ #6050: You would have thought by now I would know the answers....... & you would, sadly, be wrong ! lol (8 years, 11 months ago)

jeff @ #6066: Easy it said easy it was 1 out of 4 for connections, I spelt thousand, speaks volumes, but getting the answers is all there is to it, well, half of all there is to it.... (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6098: Don't get add an e to tic. Is that a typo? (8 years, 11 months ago)

10/10 @ #6083: Good grid (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6092: very good (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6095: theres easy- and then there's too easy. no crossovers and no time needed. keep going with them tho (8 years, 11 months ago)

hilda @ #6095: Nice but there is a spelling mistake with the fourth one in the green group. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #900: Weirdly I liked the noble gases stuff - all new to me so impossible but interesting. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6095: Nice grid to get people started. Try to work in crossovers to make things a bit of an extra challenge. For example Red Bull is a soft drink but could also be the Formula One racing team. Good luck, it isn't easy. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6094: Another good grid. So many possible anniversaries made it tough but do able . Again my advice is to work on the answer acceptance. It can be tough to cover all synonyms but it's easy to avoid insisting on plurals - just use short word stems as explained on the site. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6093: This is a very good grid. I think however you may need to study the advice to setters provided by Puzzgrid to avoid disallowing correct answers. But well done. (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6064: I meant liked! (8 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #6064: Darto surely has it right. R is next to T on the keyboard. I looted the burn line too. (8 years, 11 months ago)

HughHugh @ #6089: Turn/stalk/petrol/skewer line particularly brilliant! (8 years, 11 months ago)

santos @ #6056: The Irish may claim to have invented whiskey but they can't claim to have invented 'scotch' can they? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fifi @ #6089: Very well done ! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fifi @ #6083: Intriguing and fun, only got the horses and cheese. If only I'd paid more attention to your pseudonym... (8 years, 11 months ago)

j random user @ #6066: Rubbish. Connections were obvious with very little overlap, but I have no idea what answers were required to get any of the connections. They are all essentially synonyms, but "1000" isn't correct for the "another word for 1000" group, and I can't begin to guess what random keyboard mashing would be required to get a tick for the "all mean stredy"(sic) group (8 years, 11 months ago)

j random user @ #6074: Nice grid with lots of overlap and red herrings, let down by overly strict requirements for connections. (8 years, 11 months ago)

j random user @ #6083: Relies entirely on obscure breeds/varieties for its difficulty. No real overlap or red herrings between groups (8 years, 11 months ago)

j random user @ #6090: Fairly easy, but no descriptions for the groups, so I have no idea why: 1) One group I know the connection for was marked incorrect 2) What the connection was for the group that I didn't recognise (8 years, 11 months ago)

melanie @ #6056: I think that the Irish might disagree with who invented whiskey (8 years, 11 months ago)

puzzlenutty @ #6030: completely misses the point but oh well! (8 years, 11 months ago)

RowG @ #2982: Failed to accept my correct answer on knots :-( (8 years, 11 months ago)

sevcohatingbhoy @ #6075: not enough celtic to much of the zombies (8 years, 11 months ago)

Andrew Duffin @ #6075: Very good, didn't get the left footed connection and put 90s for last so not specific enough but otherwise quality (8 years, 11 months ago)

charles green @ #6075: easy (8 years, 11 months ago)

BlueWaffle @ #6074: I put "Fruit" for the "Fruits" group which it wouldn't accept, and i'm sure Nashville and Misfits are "E4" shows so should "E4" not also be an acceptable answer? Other than that good grid :) (8 years, 11 months ago)

Kimble_Blue @ #6062: Easey peasey, BWK (8 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #6066: Answers needed for categories need work, despite knowing what all the categories were I scored 1/4 for naming them. Biggest culprit was me typing '1000' and failing because the category was 'another word for 1000', that should not happen. (8 years, 11 months ago)

HughHugh @ #6064: Maybe it was meant to be "fathered" (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6074: bloomin hard that one, but very well put together (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6064: was it sposed to be father ted perhaps (8 years, 11 months ago)

darto @ #6064: um father red ?? otherwise up to your usual standard (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #528: Liked it due to its diversity of connections (8 years, 11 months ago)

Paddy @ #6060: What were the famous wars, please? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #525: Nice one (8 years, 11 months ago)

odesiw @ #6065: Nice one. "Starting letter" set had me scratching my head. Thanks (8 years, 11 months ago)

stalag17 @ #6054: Thought I had included the movie names in the answers but must have made an error. They are: Miami Vice, Beverly Hills Cop, Paris Texas and Escape From New York. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fit2drop @ #6062: Easy enough except for the link with Nose,Club, Wild West which were allegedly old club names, but Booker?? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fifi @ #6063: That was fun fun,fun ! (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fifi @ #6066: The easy ones are fun, thanks (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fifi @ #6032: What a lovely grid, thanks (8 years, 11 months ago)

Fifi @ #6051: I think it might be associations? According to Google : MGMA Medical Group Management Association SVRA Sports car Vintage Racing Association ANNA Association Protectors De Animals NAGA North American Grappling Association This setter definitely has a sense of humour ! (8 years, 11 months ago)

BirdBrain @ #5982: Excellent - surely a 'hard' grid? However, learned from the connections ★ (8 years, 11 months ago)

jimbo @ #6066: nice, but stredy? (8 years, 11 months ago)

Dave Dave @ #523: Managed to solve the wall but only by default as I had no idea about the red queen category - good wall though (8 years, 11 months ago)

anonymous @ #6066: It would be helpful if you could sort out the wording for the connections. Otherwise the grid was simple but enjoyable. (8 years, 11 months ago)

BirdBrain @ #6002: More than a medium wall - great connections, enjoyed the challenge. Thanks. (8 years, 11 months ago)

Nice One @ #2100: Nice one (8 years, 12 months ago)

Jeff @ #6033: Medium it said & Splendid it was. Setting me a quiz I cannot do is No fun. This was Fun. Well done (8 years, 12 months ago)

Paddy @ #6064: Father Red? (8 years, 12 months ago)

Aston @ #6066: Grid is good yet the answers accepted for connections are ridiculous. Answers viz Storage, 1000 are taken as incorrect. (8 years, 12 months ago)

BirdBrain @ #6065: Very good! Excellent connections and links. Thanks. (8 years, 12 months ago)

BirdBrain @ #6066: Good crossovers, good connections. Thanks (8 years, 12 months ago)

HenryMoff @ #6057: A little to easy, considering it was put as Hard! (8 years, 12 months ago)

stalag17 @ #6056: Nice grid though the 'inventions' category was an impossible stretch...Holmes 'invented'? (8 years, 12 months ago)

Ducks @ #6028: Not sure if squared root of -1 should be included, since it only isn't feasible on the real number line, if we look at imaginary numbers (which despite the name are feasible) the solution is trivial. (8 years, 12 months ago)

santos @ #6048: Very good (8 years, 12 months ago)

Fifi @ #5976: Dr Cable, you are not cool "and nor" is your grammar !? (8 years, 12 months ago)

Dr Sir Vincent Cable @ #5943: The use of apostrophes (or, as you might say, apostrophe's) means that correct answers are not accepted. (8 years, 12 months ago)

Dr Sir Vincent Cable @ #5976: You do not mean proceeded and nor do you mean preceded. You mean followed. (8 years, 12 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #6051: Got the GBBO category :) (8 years, 12 months ago)

stalag17 @ #6045: This one had me stumped!!! Racked my brains for a connection and came up with nothing that fit...then I saw the 'answers'! (8 years, 12 months ago)

Learn to type @ #6050: Solved the conundrum group first. Not because I saw the connection, but because they were the only 4 clues not capitalised. (8 years, 12 months ago)

Mr Poo @ #6035: Much better than that geography moron, well done! (8 years, 12 months ago)

Mr Poo @ #6045: Terrible grid, please stop it. (8 years, 12 months ago)

Squiggle @ #6032: Would have been OK, except for disallowing 'tube stations', which is surely valid!! (8 years, 12 months ago)

Squiggle @ #6044: OK, but links too picky. Wouldn't allow 'servants in Downton Abbey'. (8 years, 12 months ago)

PBomb @ #45: Pretty good wall. But does not accept anagram (8 years, 12 months ago)

ANP @ #2256: Fantastic, but primes should be a correct option as well as Fibonacci! (8 years, 12 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6048: Like it (8 years, 12 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6045: One grid on approximate latitudes/longitudes is bad enough... (8 years, 12 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #6043: One 'approximately' is bad enough... (8 years, 12 months ago)

HenryMoff @ #1060: Lovely, and easy! (8 years, 12 months ago)

HenryMoff @ #6044: Not bad, although ran out of time! (8 years, 12 months ago)

Bumsnogger @ #6033: I like it! Nice one. (9 years ago)

Bumsnogger @ #4327: I liked this. Why are some people moaning that it's too easy? It was labelled as an EASY grid so you were under no illusion when you selected it. If you want a harder grid then select a harder grid, it's as easy as that - or is THAT too easy for you also? Nice easy grid.. Thank you. (9 years ago)

Bumsnogger @ #5368: Haha! I got the tennis players wrong - I guessed they were footballers... Just goes to show that I know bugger all about football or tennis. I'm ashamed to admit that the Frozen characters were the first group I got. I'll get my coat. (9 years ago)

toast @ #6020: Imaginative. I like it. (9 years ago)

toast @ #6019: Good one. (9 years ago)

toast @ #6016: A very mixed outcome. The world cup idea is excellent but it seems to have led the setter into difficulties in providing another group so as to not have it stand out, and that group turned out to be too obscure. (9 years ago)

KJ Stewart @ #5981: 3 of those were totally easy (although "sorcerers" HAS to be a correct answer for the wizard answer, and it isn't). The elements one is absolutely stupid though. (9 years ago)

Bookie @ #5979: Apologies from Bookie, 'Carroll' and 'Huxley' are erroneously exchanged (9 years ago)

CellBlock @ #5974: Connections are phrased oddly - I knew 3/4 but got none correct. I typed "storms" and was ruled incorrect for "weather phenomena" (although I guess a tornado isn't a storm, so that's probably ok), typed "NHL teams" and was ruled incorrect for "US ice hockey teams". I can understand the "defame" question. I had a really convoluted explanation for that one that would have flown on the tv show, but couldn't think of the word "defame" so I wrote something like "to speak ill of" which I see why the site didn't know was the same. Anyway, great grid - iffy phrasing on the connections. (9 years ago)

2ndtry @ #5925: Damn! Sorry! (9 years ago)

Philip @ #478: Agree with Michelle and Mike - these need to have the option for multiple correct answers (e.g. "image file formats" as well as "picture file endings") - also, "natural fibres" was counted as incorrect because it was spelt "natural fibers" by the grid-setter - this either needs to be a global site that can transpose between UK and US spellings or it needs to separate them out more clearly (as "English" is the language I speak, not "UK" or "USA"). (9 years ago)

Anton @ #1477: Re comment below, Kansas is a city as well as a state. (9 years ago)

anonymous @ #5921: The grid was quite easy to crack but fun. Unfortunately the links were too specific, so when what I wrote was clearly correct it would come up as incorrect. Also, I would suggest it is spelt "species" for the blackberries (9 years ago)

newpuzzler @ #5921: Will accept House of Commons Speakers but not Speakers of the House of Commons. Likewise will accept game show hosts but not quiz show hosts (which is actually a more accurate description!). Perhaps the acceptable answers could be reconsidered? (9 years ago)

Henry123 @ #798: 2/4 right for me, a good grid though (9 years ago)

toast @ #5909: Probably doesn't accept fish because the dots are included in the hidden acceptable answer as well as in the explanation which we can see. (9 years ago)

toast @ #5907: I like it. (9 years ago)

toast @ #5906: Not bad. Suggest you re-read the advice on setting acceptable answers. (9 years ago)

Fifi @ #5916: Toast explained this to me once - "You enter fragments of words chosen to pick up all likely correct answers. Separate them with commas but no comma or anything else after the last one and no dots or quotes etc". This explained my problem- I had put a full stop after an answer. We can't check our grids or change them once submitted so it 's really frustrating for the setter and also for the grid solver. Perhaps Puzzgrid could explain the rules in the "about" section so new setters can get a flying start, pleasest? (9 years ago)

toast @ #5899: Not before time . Us veggie musos from Hull have been sidelined long enough. But please don't put two identical boxes - the grid does not treat them as interchangeable. (9 years ago)

toast @ #5898: The compound words line is a bit unfair as there are so many e.g. office and herring so too many possible combinations. I hadn't heard of a couple of the boxes so I've learned something and I. enjoyed having a go. (9 years ago)

Kevin Bacon @ #5868: Don't know if many of your clues fitted into many of the group solutions (if you could possibly call many of them groups?). There might be 3 or 4 degrees of separation away from the descriptions / solutions provided. (9 years ago)

This is stupid @ #5858: - Campbell, Redmond ? WTF? Here's half a surname - guess the other half. Things that are associated with nighttime, might be a reasonable group, but your choice of clues was crap. (9 years ago)

darto @ #5776: really good concept- maddeningly I knew exactly what you were going for but couldn't work out how many booms, wahs etc and only solved the "one" clue. nice one (9 years, 1 month ago)

V Mitchell @ #5760: Reasonable but when I type "date" in the dog link it showed as correct! (9 years, 1 month ago)

V Mitchell @ #5755: Nice doable grid but links are wrongly rejected. Scientists and monopoly come up as incorrect. Are leading capitals required/not required? (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5776: Apologies to other bands who have covered these songs but aren't mentioned here, I'm sure they're loads of them! I do realise this grid is very silly but hope someone enjoys it. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Dave Dave @ #185: Liked it. :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Dave Dave @ #184: Nice one :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5443: Clever and fun to do (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #3907: Fun grid, caught me out with the counties you naughty sausage (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #4253: Fun! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #4023: Really interesting groups, pleased to finish it although didn't know the bikes, want to go to flying fish cove, sounds an exciting place! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #4545: Very nice idea, but wouldn't have put 'New' in as it doesn't match with the number theme (Personally I think that whole Dyaln Thomas set is too obscure) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #3998: Great grid! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #4654: Good groups (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #4971: Not sure if it was intentional (but I presume it was), but boys names backwards threw me completely! (NOMAD, NOMIS) (9 years, 1 month ago)

HughHugh @ #5761: Awesome!! Really tricky but loved the concept. One of my all time favourites. (9 years, 1 month ago)

HughHugh @ #5770: Yes - that was a shame. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, ... not baker!. The 't,h,e,o' group was a bit too tentative for me. (9 years, 1 month ago)

jeff @ #5661: Oh deer. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #5443: Marvellous idea! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #5443: Marvellous idea! (9 years, 1 month ago)

jeff @ #5743: 9/10 & yes, I was incorrect on the last one so fairy snuff. A Pleasure. (9 years, 1 month ago)

jeff @ #5755: A nice grid. Setting grids I Cannot do is pointless cos I cannot do them & do not want to ! So Thank you. (9 years, 1 month ago)

jeff @ #5760: The definitions are Rubbish. And its not a blind dog it's a Guide dog for the blind. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Mevalin @ #5770: Sorry - but 'Bravo' is the usual word used for 'B' I think. (9 years, 1 month ago)

KJ Stewart @ #5585: Andrew, every single one of those comic book doctors is correctly written as "Doctor". Some, who are called "Dr", were left off this grid by me for that exact reason. "Dr" would not be correct. And, surely, if you tried "Dr", you would know to try the correct version instead. Common sense. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Pirlo @ #5743: Good stuff! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tink @ #3908: Good grid, just a shame the answer 'ports in Mediterranean ' was not accepted! (9 years, 1 month ago)

okay @ #5695: options for correct synonyms are too narrow (9 years, 1 month ago)

Gms @ #5760: Guide dog? Wouldn't accept money for the one line, otherwise good stuff (9 years, 1 month ago)

Gms @ #5761: Cracking idea for a grid. Should have got the pm's. Didn't accept Olympics for one line which is a little harsh. The grand national winners was a tough line. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tealdeer @ #5760: Wouldn't accept 'coins'? And yes, 'blind dog' is weird. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Yvonne M @ #2866: The rim, blow, hand... group was a bit unnecessary! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #3189: Love the South America set and surprised myself by getting it! (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5760: I give money to Blind Dogs for the Guides. Is Darto implying I am being conned? Otherwise a good grid. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5761: Very hard but interesting. Nice to have to think and works best where you know you should have got a line and kick yourself rather than where you can shrug it off. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #5648: Got all the links but only one reason, according to the setter. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rooney @ #2713: easy (9 years, 1 month ago)

Alfie Rice @ #2713: was rubbish (9 years, 1 month ago)

blueloony @ #404: A bloodsucking tic is spelt tic not tick. You cannot complete a grid that has incorrect spellings. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Jen @ #5466: Great! (9 years, 1 month ago)

santos @ #5761: Great grid, I'm a little disappointed with the key word recognition though. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Squiggle @ #5761: Tricky but interesting. Slightly miffed it didn't accept 'Olympic venues', but a minor point. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5761: I liked it thanks :) . I found it very hard but really got my brain thinking about what happened in those years. (9 years, 1 month ago)

u got trolled!!! @ #5738: LLOLLOLOlolololl!!!!!!! (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5761: Hi all. not sure about this one so apologies if it doesn't work as well as it did in my head/ I realise it could be far too easy or far too hard or just not work, but thought id try something slightly different (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5760: ok ish. what's a blind dog a dog that cant see ?? the other one you just posted is much better (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5759: certainly difficult. not sure about this one (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5758: very good (9 years, 1 month ago)

IDLwild @ #1875: tricky on third row. good clues elsewhere (9 years, 1 month ago)

IDLwild @ #5755: relatively easy but fun (9 years, 1 month ago)

IDL @ #96: good - challenging links.like it! play it and weep pedants!!!! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Krollo @ #5754: Obviously quite niche, but not awful by any means. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Krollo @ #5755: Not terrifically tough, but a nice wall nonetheless. I really liked the liquids group for some reason. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Mark Dalton @ #5749: thanks fifi. (9 years, 1 month ago)

dave @ #5750: I answered 'groups of things' for the last group and was given it incorrect (9 years, 1 month ago)

KitMit @ #5754: I liked it. I didn't get them all but that was due to my own lack of knowledge and I still liked it. (9 years, 1 month ago)

kieran @ #2713: rubbish (9 years, 1 month ago)

chelsea holmes @ #2713: this is rubbish. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Dan @ #2713: This was amazing! (9 years, 1 month ago)

melanie @ #5653: I feel such an indiot (9 years, 1 month ago)

Chaz @ #5754: That would be Manalishi with the TWO pronged crown, actually the grid setter spelt it correctly and the Green Day song is on their 2007 album Smoothed out slappy hour. If you're going to comment, make it constructive and chill out a bit,listening to some music might do the trick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Green_Manalish www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/greenday/greenday.html (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5748: nice in parts but not sure that free and fife really sound like numbers (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5749: very good (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5751: sorry mate but that's garbage. totally impossible - dates could be anything you want them to be and theres two 1971s. terrible. that's 3 minutes of my life i'll never get back (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5752: good one with nice ideas (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5753: nice (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5754: im inclined to agree. it was obvious it was all colours but not sure its totally accurate/ fairly sure the song is actually green manalishi with the three (or two) pronged crown by Fleetwood mac. nice idea but not quite there (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5755: certainly an easy one but so what. well done (9 years, 1 month ago)

Far from Awesome @ #5755: Have to disagree with Tom (if he's not being snide or sarcastic). Possessing a small bit of general knowledge, and as there was a complete lack of overlaps or red herrings, was able to solve three groups in 20 seconds or so. (9 years, 1 month ago)

ewcrew @ #2312: Nice. Its a bit easy but I cant really complain. It did say it was easy. (9 years, 1 month ago)

ewcrew @ #5754: All of the links are the same subject. I think this is intentional but not effective. I havent heard of most of these songs. Even after googling green day I couldnt find it. I think youre thinking of the band. Im sorry. I just dont think it works. The clues are too obscure. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tom @ #5755: What an awesome puzzle. This guy must be a genius. (9 years, 1 month ago)

ewcrew @ #3361: For those nay sayers, je taime can mean I love you, as can je tadore. If you dont believe me then check out this song about the phrase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm5S43YC2uo (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5743: Nicely crafted. (9 years, 1 month ago)

feedback @ #5695: not accepting enough correct answers (9 years, 1 month ago)

ewcrew @ #98: Nice. I found it a little easy but I liked the crossovers. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Ken @ #5735: Not bad, but it's pretty obvious that the BBC ones form a group, even if you don't know why. Solution should be BBC channels and their numbers *on Freeview* (9 years, 1 month ago)

ewcrew @ #1708: Very good. I found it a little annoying that the links need to be given with the first letter capitalised but I think that is a problem puzzgrid could sort out. (9 years, 1 month ago)

feedback @ #5749: Yes, "captain" needs fixing (9 years, 1 month ago)

RowG @ #5738: I think Fop is a bit too specific (9 years, 1 month ago)

KJ @ #5749: That's exactly what I did (re: answering Captain). Other than that, decent. (9 years, 1 month ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5701: A touch too obscure for me (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #5661: As with RowG but I know I didn't use a capital R as I never do! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5749: Sorry to anyone who answered Captain and feels cheated, you are right of course! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #5583: ALmost any entry was accepted! Even cricket for occupation line (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #4458: Agree with the comments about acceptable answers. Ball rejected for instance!! Hence marked as low quality when it could have been so much better. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Dave Dave @ #156: Nice one...not too hard, but with some nice red herrings. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Primrose @ #2297: Very satisfying (9 years, 1 month ago)

ramuz93 @ #5743: Good one Ginger! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Mike @ #5740: Should probably be Very Hard. Without detailed knowledge of the 4 obscure topics you couldn't even make a start on this. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #868: Superb explanations, especially the drugs one :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5717: fraid not- poets and anagrams isn't 4 connected things its 2 sets of 2. (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5743: yeah really good (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5745: Clever grid and fun (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5743: Really enjoy your grids (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5740: Very cool topics (9 years, 1 month ago)

Gms @ #5746: Sorry, should have accepted singers for one line (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5738: Fun (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5737: Clever, I liked it (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5725: spot on. I loved the fast show (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5727: clever and very very hard. too many names to mess about with (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5729: did it in about ten seconds. not at all tricky and no red herrings or crossovers to speak of (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5740: nope- way too obscure (9 years, 1 month ago)

Lyla @ #5740: These categories were some of my favourite things. In fact this grid could have been made for me. Thanks very much x (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5737: so so (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5738: very easy but nicely done. shame about the typo (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5213: Mattie: No it shouldn't, hero's is not a word, the plural of hero is heroes (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #4419: So cocktails is incorrect for cocktails! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Mattie @ #5213: They're. Because 'there games' and 'there heros' doesn't make sense. It should also be 'Hero's'. (9 years, 1 month ago)

anonymous @ #5729: As the link was fairly flexible the synonyms do just about work. A good board with some clever crossovers. Testing yet achievable!! (9 years, 1 month ago)

anonymous @ #5730: Same as others have said. It can be frustrating when you put in the exact same answer as the one provided by the author of the quiz but it is deemed incorrect because of using the wrong case or omitting a few ..... Otherwise a good board, accessible but still slightly testing! (9 years, 1 month ago)

sd @ #5735: good grid, are the BBC answers consistent across platforms though? Not on cable/Sky anyway (9 years, 1 month ago)

primrose @ #5731: nice and straightforward. good crossovers (9 years, 1 month ago)

primrose @ #5736: nice one (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5736: That was good fun (9 years, 1 month ago)

Chaz @ #5730: Keep 'em coming across the line (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5732: Best thing about Puzzgrid is the diversity of subjects and the interest and the memories the answers invoke. Elvis Costello and the Attractions...aah, good one! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5735: Lovely (9 years, 1 month ago)

Clint @ #5731: Connections too specific (9 years, 1 month ago)

jeff @ #5715: I love life of Brian with a passion.... how are you supposed to differentiate the 8 answers ???? (9 years, 1 month ago)

Jeff @ #5730: Roger E Yep & I had the temerity to call bands 'Pop Groups' I score 1 for my 4 correct answers. For fashionable I put synonyms for Groovy, what a mistakeadamakea (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5731: Really enjoyed it (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5734: excellent- solved it with seconds to spare but didn't know crossword setters (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5734: Fun, liked the crossword setters (9 years, 1 month ago)

RogerE @ #5730: Fashionable and Hard were not accepted as correct answers for their respective groups. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5727: Too many people on those album covers but nicely chosen for the other lines and I did enjoy it. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5726: Tough. (9 years, 1 month ago)

MALCOLM @ #5731: CONNECTIONS TOO SPECIFIC EG TART NOT ACCEPTED FOR TARTS (9 years, 1 month ago)

Squiggle @ #5729: Don't think the synonyms line works-they don't all mean 'unkind'! (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5725: Excellent. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #5690: Good, but can you accept "follow" & "toilets" please!! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Bob @ #5703: Nice, but there are usually about 4 English born Premier League scorers every week ;) (I know what you mean though) (9 years, 1 month ago)

melanie @ #5632: Thai fighter? Muay Thai (9 years, 1 month ago)

blahblah@blahblah.blah @ #5714: blah blah blah (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fantom @ #5709: Enjoyed this, but wasn't the naval version of the F-86 Sabre known as the Fury? (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5712: Quite enjoyed this. The bomb load line was a bit too obvious in that it stood out as different but at the same time impossibly obscure. Quite unusual to achieve those two attributes in the same line! (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5699: You have included two identical clues (ECB). Presumably an oversight as it makes solving a difficult grid much harder since they are not interchangeable. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5695: Tricky without being obscure. Nice one. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5693: Good grid. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5692: Tasty! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Babs @ #5697: Nice grid. Pity I can't spell Wilburys. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Gms @ #5693: Crackin' (9 years, 1 month ago)

Gms @ #5695: Good grid but should have accepted more options for some lines. (9 years, 1 month ago)

newpuzz @ #5696: Deceptively simple and therefore not too easy quiz but won't acknowledge correct answers - shop/Shop (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5690: I think the problem may be that Chickadee may have put quote marks round the word fragments in the hidden acceptable answers section as well as in the explanation. (9 years, 1 month ago)

J Arthur @ #5674: Very childish but makes a change from po-faced clever dicks (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5689: Good in parts. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5686: Loan words from Hindi and Urdu will not be gettable by most people.. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5685: Not sure separating the groups of fish on the basis of adding any letter to get random words is fair. On the positive side I have learned of Mountbatten pink and Mullet was a nice red herring. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5684: The Spanish loan words are a bit on the edge of acceptable to my mind. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5680: Nice crossovers. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Poppet @ #5685: (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5676: Credit for trying something so different. (9 years, 1 month ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #4900: Good grid. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Pirlo @ #5690: Decent grid but you need to be more careful with the key words, I typed in the answer for two of them and it didn't recognise it. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Pirlo @ #5695: 'Stole' is not a synonym for stole (9 years, 1 month ago)

newpuzz @ #5695: didn't accept correct answers for second and third lines ('confused' and 'eggs'). But otherwise very good. (9 years, 1 month ago)

santos @ #5610: Fiendish! (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5673: don't get the last category. (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5680: Got the one with Tweddle in correct, but marked wrong. Good grid. (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5675: tricky. Got one right, but said I was incorrect (9 years, 1 month ago)

santos @ #5664: Nice grid! (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5688: tricky (9 years, 1 month ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5680: Enjoyed this one. Thanks (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5684: good one, but hard (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5693: nice one. (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5695: Gave one answer and it was marked incorrect though it was right, apart from that a great grid, tricky. (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5692: excellent (9 years, 1 month ago)

Erik @ #5676: I'm afraid this was awful. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5676: I looked up the RB reference on you tube to solve the grid. So glad I did as it's hysterically funny. (9 years, 1 month ago)

GRIDSQUAD @ #4872: Where is Hurst is Robert Browning? (9 years, 1 month ago)

GRIDSQUAD @ #4849: Stop sucking Oli off Oddball. The grid's are poor. (9 years, 1 month ago)

GRIDSQUAD @ #4847: CHEEP (9 years, 1 month ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5676: A good idea in theory, but sometimes it is possible to overdo the crossovers making a puzzle pretty much unsolvable in three minutes. The Ronnie Barker reference will make no sense to most younger or non-UK players and, judging by the explanations, you even seem to have managed to confuse yourself. (9 years, 1 month ago)

G: @ #76: Dragonfly isn't a 'type of fly', it's an insect. Should be something like all the words can be followed by 'fly' (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5680: pretty easy but nicely put together (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tealdeer @ #1762: You expect us to know what an IP layer stack is but apparently don't know what a TLD is. Odd. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tealdeer @ #348: Yeah, didn't accept PMs, silent movies or smoked. Expecting people to provide word for word answers is unreasonable. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tealdeer @ #299: Father Ted was Irish, not British. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Chrissy Boy @ #5160: Love the Arctic Monkeys set :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5676: Thoroughly fiendish, exhaustively intriguing and great fun. Took me several tries exiting just before the time ran out and starting again. You have had a lot of fun setting this grid. I won't comment more so I don't spoil it for other people. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Yvonne M @ #19: I object to the use of the word Jezebel to mean a young woman in the sense of the other three words. Doesn't convey a positive view of women (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5649: Got the Buckingham group right, but was marked incorrectly. Maybe more crossovers. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5663: Fifi. It doesn't matter what you put on the explanation - the section everyone sees. What counts is the acceptable answer section which only the setter sees. There you enter fragments of words chosen to pick up all likely correct answers. Separate them with commas but no comma or anything else after the last one and no dots or quotes etc.Chrissyy Boy you can't amend grids. (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5651: Nice one, but put all answers in capitals or some stand out. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5663: Clever theme. I think I made the same mistake in my own grid when setting the answer for the word that can be inserted before the others. You used inverted commas and dots and I used just dots. Please can somebody explain the right way to do this, thanks (9 years, 1 month ago)

Fifi @ #5666: Very good ! (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5658: IWhen entering acceptable answer fragments you have to put commas between the fragments but NOT after the last one. If you do that even a blank answer is treated as correct. Pretty sure that is how it works and hope it helps next time you set a grid. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5657: Liked the theme and it is clever. Advise not to use precisely four women's names as they are too obviously a group. Also be careful setting the answers as I was once incorrectly marked wrong and onceincorrectly marked right when not entering an answer . The latter may be because you finished the answer with a comma. Hope that helps. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Jezza2812 @ #5658: Glitch - For one of the groups, the game for some reason awards a correct answer for a connection that is most certainly not what I put. Sorry if you come across this error, not sure why it's occurred! (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5651: Not particularly obscure. Anonymous - the groups are not in a fixed order. Orange Glow , two pieces of advice. It gives the game away to start some groups with lower case letters. Also don't put anchovies in a salad nicoise (or in anything except w bin).Don't even think about ruining toast. Thanks. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Anonymous @ #5651: RE: Group 1 - The answer 'mythical cities' is an inaccurate one. The word mythical refers to someone from myth, as in, not derivative of one particular fictional sort, but of a concept that has transcended said sort to become something more. El Dorado does indeed fit into this category,as would, say, Atlantis. However, Gotham, King's Landing, and Emerald are fictional cities, as in, places that exist within a specific, fictional world, one with which they are exclusively associated. Otherwise, nice one, good work... (9 years, 1 month ago)

Welcome @ #5640: to the site. I think that you are a non English speaker, and very interested in the Eurovision. Good for you, but of very little interest to the majority of people, and I didn't find the last few puzzles, enjoyable or interesting.

toast @ #5566: Just right when in a relaxed mood. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5565: I would at least have liked to learn from this fiendish puzzle. I only recognised some Irish writers. Fuller answers would do it. Who are the celebrities? Which side were the military people on ( not always obvious from names - or sometimes even from their actions)? (9 years, 1 month ago)

Wilrah @ #5573: Could have been improved by having answers that weren't just names (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5563: I liked this. Anagrams are usually too hard in the time allowed and I would have liked red herrings. On the plus side it needed only general knowledge and in part was imaginative so up to standard. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Wilrah @ #48: not bad (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5557: Very enjoyable but extremely challenging. Even after recognising three of a kind it was hard to work out the fourth. TH was a great choice, well done. (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5568: very tricky (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5577: Tough one, but good. Put in duke and that came up as incorrect (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5578: Very tricky. Quite specialist. Put in cow and that was incorrect (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5570: Hard one for a Brit (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5574: found this one impossible! (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5522: tough one (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5553: Really enjoyed this one (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5573: Difficult one for me (9 years, 1 month ago)

BarbOxon @ #5562: Tricky one (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5554: Some nice touches but not many will know the naval vessels. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Ian @ #5563: Great one but medium rather than hard. I only missed out on the anagrams. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Dave Dave @ #66: Elemental metals not accepted :( (9 years, 1 month ago)

Mrs T @ #5575: I've just wasted 3 mins of my life. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #5213: Entered Games and was told it was incorrect, the solution was games! (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5553: Rustic's comment makes me wonder if Primrose put commas after the final words in the section for acceptable answers. If so, anything is marked correct. (9 years, 1 month ago)

toast @ #5548: Very difficult , especially the vents, and the answer recognition disallowed my only right answer - twelve. But it is different, imaginative and enjoyable. (9 years, 1 month ago)

micky baron @ #5559: Thanks darto (9 years, 1 month ago)

Hihi @ #5142: Fun! (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5566: fairly easy but a good one (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5563: nice (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5559: nice- fairly easy liked the fowler connection (9 years, 1 month ago)

ron @ #5560: excessively decent lad init would throw beer at (9 years, 1 month ago)

Zeni @ #5565: 0 groups found, 0 groups identified... certainly was a fiendish grid >. (9 years, 1 month ago)

ron @ #5563: fackin sick like i don gon maxed it like (9 years, 1 month ago)

Harry @ #5553: Nice one ! Easy but good fun (9 years, 1 month ago)

ron @ #5517: decent lad (9 years, 1 month ago)

ron @ #5558: yeah decent (9 years, 1 month ago)

Robert M @ #5565: I think this lives up to its 'fiendish' rating. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Primrose @ #5563: Liked it. Testing but fair. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Robert M @ #5563: Are you someone I might know, Puzzle Paws? It's just that I've been discussing it somewhere and wondered :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Robert M @ #5558: Thanks Keli (9 years, 1 month ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5563: I got the TV channels in 30 seconds, then the mail category. I should have got the other two though. (9 years, 1 month ago)

Keli R @ #5558: If I have a criticism of this grid, it's that three groups are taken from science and nature (including two related to flora). Otherwise it's very well observed with respect to grids one might see on tv, with nice hints - e.g. the alphanumeric entry (S-whatever it was) suggests one link is likely to be related to space, or at least to technology. (9 years, 1 month ago)

RowG @ #5514: Tennis is correct! and gunfire (9 years, 1 month ago)

RowG @ #5523: Brigade is a correct answer! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Robert M @ #5563: What have the TV channels done to you? (9 years, 1 month ago)

Robert M @ #5560: Nice grid 'Micky'. I scored 2. Quite hard. (9 years, 1 month ago)

micky baron @ #5563: damn those tv channels ! (9 years, 1 month ago)

Robert M @ #5558: vwd :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

micky baron @ #5558: mega tough this, scored the great score of nil :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Barbara @ #5536: nice one (9 years, 1 month ago)

Barbara @ #566: fun and tricky (9 years, 1 month ago)

Paddy @ #5544: What on earth is an acorn tree??? (9 years, 1 month ago)

Dave Dave @ #61: liked this one...didn't get it in the first round as couldn't remember all the names, but got the connections once the wall was solved :) (9 years, 1 month ago)

Rustic @ #5553: By entering Time as the answers for the bottom two rows I get a point for each correct answer! (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #40: far too fiendish- just sat staring for 3 mins thinking of dr who and carry on and famous people with first names for last names- too difficult to be much fun (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #54: good grid generally- connections a bit rubbish but otherwise good (9 years, 1 month ago)

Erik @ #5452: Poor. I got all of these right, but the answers weren't specific enough, so it told me I got them wrong (for example, writing "rappers" ends up saying "incorrect", even though it's clearly right - nobody is ever going to specifically answer "world famous rappers" as is specified). (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #56: fantastic. well worth it good rating (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #519: not sure- there are times when a hard grid isn't necessarily a good grid- this is one of those times (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #520: solved it but like others not the latin prefixes ummmmmmmmm::: (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #583: pretty easy but nicely done (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #1948: I know me football but that's way way too obscure- could have been any number of groupings- ex Liverpool, ex united, played for England at world cups- got to be some chance of getting somewhere in 3 mins other than the managers sons whish was easy (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5555: not too difficult but well put together (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5555: not too difficult but well put together (9 years, 1 month ago)

Like a tomato @ #5548: in a fruit salad; though technically right, the whole thing was let down by "H" (9 years, 1 month ago)

Tomas @ #5553: Quite easy but well put together (9 years, 1 month ago)

Alex @ #1478: Happy talk? Seriously? (9 years, 1 month ago)

Nana @ #5553: Nice straightforward grid (9 years, 1 month ago)

Primrose @ #5552: Good one. Well thought out (9 years, 1 month ago)

darto @ #5546: good one, nice red herrings with England defenders. I got that there were gareths and straw but never got started beyond that (9 years, 1 month ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5537: Very enjoyable, although strictly speaking three of the four are no longer Football League grounds. (9 years, 1 month ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5531: Enjoyable. Thank you. (9 years, 1 month ago)

narrow neck @ #5518: Awesome grid. Very imaginative. Thanks (9 years, 1 month ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5527: I liked the hey mickey and Minnie Mouse crossovers. The Matt Damon one is a bit of a stretch. Thanks (9 years, 1 month ago)

nelly @ #5537: A bit harder if you hate football questions (9 years, 1 month ago)

nelly @ #5527: Too much reliant on media knowledge (9 years, 1 month ago)

Delilah @ #5544: Great grid...much harder than anticipated by easy Lady Gaga first solution! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5463: Like Primrose, never heard of Josh Wheedon. Agree the 'i' category is weak- I put words from Italian or Greek, which it accepted! A Penny Dreadful was a kind of 18th century (I think) tabloid newspaper full of all the latest scandal and gossip. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5537: Nice one, but agree fairly easy. (9 years, 2 months ago)

History @ #27: Also, I put jail or custody - which is the same as confinement surely? (9 years, 2 months ago)

History @ #27: Same as others. Jail and fall still not accepted : [ (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hilda @ #3450: Good but why disallow signs of the zodiac, this is also correct. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5538: Liked the numbers line . (9 years, 2 months ago)

Beef @ #5533: Non (9 years, 2 months ago)

Quizzer @ #5526: Loved it great mix congrats!! (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5533: Very enjoyable. Well constructed and you understand how to set the acceptable answers. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5531: You certainly catered for all levels of knowledge. I considered saying I would like more red herrings but then I thought for all I know there might be a spotty quark! Fun. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5536: Some nice crossovers, thanks (9 years, 2 months ago)

Claus Michael Fasting @ #5542: Solved! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5541: tough, but good (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #1818: Easy and fun but could have had more crossovers (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #4547: Difficult and enjoyable (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5453: nice, but tricky (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5476: Good board, but answers came out incorrectly when they were right. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5494: Got some answer right, but they were marked incorrect (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5474: Good board, but some of my answers were correct, but slightly differently worded meaning no points (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5523: tricky one, thanks (9 years, 2 months ago)

Barbara @ #5531: Tricky, good one, thanks for setting (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5536: Nice grid, enjoyed this (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andy @ #4664: French number homophones - incorrect? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andy @ #2093: I've not been doing the US grids but will have to check them out if they're all this good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kayleigh @ #5538: I could do 2 of them and I'm rubbish at this! (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5537: fairly easy but good grid (9 years, 2 months ago)

santos @ #187: You should include more words in the keywords section. Otherwise a very good grid. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5526: This deserves a better rating. It could maybe have been improved by replacing aircraft with another animal , say wildebeest? Not sure. Also answer recognition could be better but overall a pretty good effort. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5532: Good grid. Plenty of crossovers and not much specialist knowledge (9 years, 2 months ago)

Santos @ #5394: You should review your keywords, I put 'football nicknames' and it didn't pick it up. (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5532: fairly easy but some good crossovers (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andy @ #184: Red herrings all the way. Well done. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andy @ #573: Very clever�� (9 years, 2 months ago)

Basil @ #5528: Fun (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5519: I feel so ignorant that I don't even feel qualified to grade this one. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hilda @ #5521: I said "currencies". Answer is "world units of currency". What's the difference??!! (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5517: Well done. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5509: Some imaginative lines . Good stuff . (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5508: I didn't get a single point but l learned a bit . I can't say I like marshmallow but I did like the line. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5507: Enjoyable grid but you need to read the advice on accepting answers as you seem to be too prescriptive . For example Jim Rockford and Simon Templar were I think private detectives so you want to accept Priv, eye , detec (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5505: Decent grid., (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5475: Some original thought . I found it possible to guess rather than work out the lines because of the way it is structured. (9 years, 2 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #4572: Too much thought - made it crap (9 years, 2 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5520: Not bad, but could do with some more obscure groups. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charles @ #5504: Jackie Chan is a bit lame as an apparent girl's name & the country singers category is too open to other connections (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andy @ #5514: Wigeon is a waterfowl, not a game bird, (9 years, 2 months ago)

Helen in cumbria @ #5507: Nice one Good variety of clues, not too stupidly specialised (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charles @ #5514: Quite good but easy grid, Main failing is not allowing reasonable answers (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5514: Good and fair but lacking crossovers (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5513: Not allowed gun! But other than that enjoyed it (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5514: Good grid, but like the other a big frustrating to be disallowed tennis Otherwise I enjoyed it (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5508: Only really works if you're American...most of the links mean nothing to a Brit! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Catriona @ #5511: OK, but I prefer a mixture of 'word play' and groups with interesting links. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Catriona @ #5513: Yes, agree that answers picky which was a shame as categories good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

jeff @ #5474: I got ALL the definitions right and scored nil, not a sausage, bugger all. This is not good enough. Authors is, for example a correct answer, is it not. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Jeff @ #5514: Not getting the points when you type "musketry or rifle fire" or "Gamebirds" is bloody infuriating. Nice grid tho. Ty (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hilda @ #5513: I said _ gun but apparently it should have been --- gun !!! And sailing & funny sayings also disallowed. Picky... (9 years, 2 months ago)

A P Please Bob @ #5503: Inserting a single letter at the start, middle and end to make a new word, is pushing it just a little bit IMO. (9 years, 2 months ago)

pogsdad @ #5506: monroe! wrong birds! bad descriptions bad grid (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charlie Cook @ #5363: Missed the middle names - curse! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #5513: Nice but your answers seem very restrictive (9 years, 2 months ago)

Red @ #5513: Liked the grid until my answers of seal, gun, sailing and joke were deemed incorrect (9 years, 2 months ago)

Red @ #5514: Liked the grid until my answers of guns, tennis and birds were deemed incorrect (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bernard @ #2665: It was very good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

D @ #5508: Great puzzle. I do think that "software" is somewhat of a stretch and makes that grouping pretty difficult. Otherwise, nice puzzle. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Jayem @ #5506: Griffins and harpies are not birds... (9 years, 2 months ago)

J2s @ #5506: Fairly good, but due to reasons the others gave (plus Marilyn's surname's "MOnroe, not "MUnroe"), am having to rate it lower. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charles @ #5506: Reasonable answers are disallowed, not a bad grid but this spoils it (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hilda @ #5506: Why disallow "mythical" instead of "mythological"? And "religious leaders" instead of "church officials"? (9 years, 2 months ago)

jeff @ #5485: A vg grid marred by the identification... 2 of which were incorrect even though I was word perfect and ' poke fun at ' was " to poke fun at ". I will stop gnashing my teeth quite soon. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Jeff @ #5488: Easy it said Easy. No. CRAP, IT SHOULD HAVE SAID CRAP. (9 years, 2 months ago)

jeff @ #5496: To look___ and it says its incorrect..... The other answers were less, well less, than good. Give people a fighting chance, will ya. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Jeff @ #5502: Nice board (9 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #5494: Not hard but the answers need work (9 years, 2 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #4527: I can only think of three rodents... (9 years, 2 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5489: Does the word 'accessible' mean anything to you? (Clue: it isn't the name of the group that finished seventh in the Latvian regional qualifiers for the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest). (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5487: way too obscure even if I was dutch I doubt id have had a clue (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5343: spot on (9 years, 2 months ago)

Jacqui @ #5475: You wouldn't accept 'Miller' or 'Falcons' (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5504: Like the basic idea, but some categories obscure...suspect there could be other links between some of the names, especially the singers category. (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5504: good grid- connections don't work though (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5497: There was something wrong with the mechanism of the grid which prevented me seeing the answer for the final line and giving my rating. Could be why the quality is unknown. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5496: A couple of decent lines but you need to read the advice on the site re answers when submitting your next grid to prevent good answers being marked as incorrect. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5494: Not a bad grid but answer acceptance needs attention . Maybe you put the quote marks and dots in the answer box ........ (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5491: This grid stopped working twice before I could get to the end. The answer recognition also has a problem. (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5502: very nice (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5487: It isn't allowed to have two identical words as the solver can't know which is allocated to which group. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5486: Half excellent but half obscure. Good try. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5485: Enjoyable though the chips line is weak ( thought scotch pie and scotch egg) and answer recognition could be better. Still good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5481: Imaginative but very hard and in part requires pretty obscure knowledge. Still better than most. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5480: Very difficult but innovative and based on another round of Only Connect so a nice homage. (9 years, 2 months ago)

IFFy grid @ #5499: Try reading or at least spellchecking, before submission. Thanks RoRy (9 years, 2 months ago)

Got it @ #5480: , with 1 second to spare. Couldn't see the 4th in the B LCKD G group. Well done. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Sorry @ #5450: Malcolm, but I disagree with you. What you request, is exactly what was provided in this puzzle, as easy as it was. Metals, elements, fish, multiple meanings, Greek Gods, homonyms, synonyms, multiple pronunciations, etc - they're all here. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Red @ #5490: Was Moses really an orphan? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charles @ #5482: Very crafty red herring, using Bronson & McQueen to suggest The Great Escape. Top effort! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5480: Really liked this missing vowels quiz, didn't manage to get it all in time, but loved doing it (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hilda @ #3140: I said "names in titles of Shakespeare plays" which was disallowed!! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hilda @ #5496: I said add a letter to make a fruit but was told it had to be second letter missing - a bit picky. And you should accept "synonyms for look at as well. (9 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #5476: This was a good one with lots of red herrings. But as others have said, answers weren't recognised (9 years, 2 months ago)

Delilah @ #5499: "RoRy Music" and "IFFy Pop" ?! (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5455: Good wall (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5476: Agree. Answers very limited and frustrating. (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5480: absolute cracking grid- top marks. favourite one ive done (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5488: Poor links eg London should be ample (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5482: excellent- got the rocky opponents early but otherwise really tough- got stuck on the great escape good one (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5483: well constructed but connections need sorting- got incorrect for sharks, drinkers, and beginners (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5486: theres fiendish and then theres no chance at all impossible (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5473: This would be good for beginners . Some crossovers but no specialist or obscure knowledge required. (9 years, 2 months ago)

RowG @ #5472: gave my currency answer as incorrect (9 years, 2 months ago)

RowG @ #5474: Sorry but if you diet, you don't go without food. (9 years, 2 months ago)

RowG @ #5476: Likewise- incorrect for types of accommodation? and "things you dig? (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5469: I liked the red herring on the jockeys - good idea but much too unlikely that we could work out the chemical symbols within the names in three minutes - there are loads of two letter symbols. But I do understand that as you create a grid what seems reasonably gettable to the setter can look impossible to the solver. Keep gridding! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #5475: You couldn't accept 'Miller'? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Phil @ #5476: Ok but you need to expand your answers. I got nothing for 'dwellings'; 'warfare'; 'dance' and 'excavations' (9 years, 2 months ago)

Audrey Rostron @ #5475: These "grids" don't seem as easy to use as the old connecting walls. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5472: Liked this a lot but the s-----e line is asking too much in the time. There may be a problem with answer recognition, but overall an enjoyable grid. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5470: Good red fishy herrings.Gettable with a guess on Roach. (9 years, 2 months ago)

newby @ #5466: Do-able challenge (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5463: Sorry but I struggled with this, I though words ending with i is a weak category, a bit random for my liking Never heard the term penny dreadful, but perhaps that's just me (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5468: Enjoyed this - liked the names and red herrings. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Splat @ #5471: Not good. Links are picky. Green whale??? (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5445: I like a wall you can do (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5444: Too much larger (9 years, 2 months ago)

squiggle @ #5468: I'd call this medium... some good ideas and a bit of a challenge, but far from mind-blowing! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gina @ #5468: Really enjoyed that one! Keep 'em coming... (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5468: Good grid, plenty of variety (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5466: obviously very easy but well thought out- (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5467: not sure. clever for definite but just impossible and no chance of ever getting it (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5468: another nice one. def not easy. id say difficult (9 years, 2 months ago)

hilda @ #1497: Good but not enough red herrings or crossovers. And I didn't think information had a plural so ruled that out as a possible answer. (9 years, 2 months ago)

New puzzler @ #5466: It would be a good idea to check spellings! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5467: Nice, original idea. Had me fooled (mind you....)! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gobbo @ #5468: Seen worse (9 years, 2 months ago)

RowG @ #5427: Gave my first answer incorrect (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kristof @ #5377: Never heard the phrase "box office bomb"?? (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #54: Very good, imaginative grid. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5466: Enjoyably do-able. (9 years, 2 months ago)

DaveDave @ #37: Got the dances, but didn't manage to get all the clues. Managed the connections when the wall resolved though...I really liked and hated this one :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5465: One capital line but this was tough enough without anagrams. Have some decency! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5462: Nice grid, thanks (9 years, 2 months ago)

MArk @ #1497: Very good. couldnt work out the plural one very clever (9 years, 2 months ago)

hilda @ #2477: Good ideas but (1) They're not all crisps, they are all snacks which was wrongly disallowed. (3) Dancing should be an acceptable answer, not just types of dance. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5465: Very difficult but fair. Good crossovers. (9 years, 2 months ago)

hilda @ #5416: too many red herrings for Parks & Rec (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #1492: I agree it is a good grid. For me a couple of the National winners were familiar and Escargot is a good red herring as L'Escargot was also a winner. (9 years, 2 months ago)

phil @ #4176: Shame you couldn't accept just 'metal' (9 years, 2 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #4495: light! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5463: Good grid but who is Josh Wheedon? (9 years, 2 months ago)

j random user @ #5461: Doesn't accept anagram as an answer for the anagram group (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5438: What a lot of royals (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5436: Enjoyed this (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5461: well up to your usual standard (9 years, 2 months ago)

me @ #48: Ok (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5461: Good grid but a bigger variety of connectors would have made it better. Plenty of crossovers though. (9 years, 2 months ago)

phil @ #5444: Spelling and aliens not being accepted meant disappointment (9 years, 2 months ago)

phil @ #5450: Nice crossovers (9 years, 2 months ago)

phil @ #5452: I'd have thought 'singers' would have been ok. Seems harsh (9 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #5456: Insanely difficult! And I think 'la la la' for 3x and ' for foot are stretching it somewhat (9 years, 2 months ago)

loki @ #5458: very good (9 years, 2 months ago)

al @ #2736: "Winslet" (as in Kate) only has one t. Other than that good quiz! (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5456: Some good ideas but too tough in the time for me. Ease up a bit ! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5453: Good grid."The Housemartins" was accepted.. couldn't remember their new band name! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Malcolm @ #5450: Categories well out of my experience. Let's have some general knowledge with good crossovers to make people think. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Emily @ #5454: I love Acheivement Hunter and well...Nandos so I was pleased to see a quiz like this (9 years, 2 months ago)

Emily @ #5454: I love Acheivement Hunter and well...Nandos so I was pleased to see a quiz like this (9 years, 2 months ago)

Chip @ #5452: Yeah, seems like you forgot to type in keywords or something. "Rappers" doesn't work, and I put exactly "Dog breeds" which didn't work either despite the clue being exactly the same. (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5411: poor- (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5410: brilliant- just too difficult (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5398: hmmm? not sure Zito ? sure you didn't mean Zico (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5396: clearly very clever but far too obscure to even get started and more than one solution which made it even more impossible (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5393: nice grid- didn't accept, Lou or boxers tho (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5389: fantastic. I knew there were hidden words but blowed if I could solve them . (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5388: nice one. solved it just in the time. always like them when theyre solved with a bit of effort= well done (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5454: Categories well out of my experience. Let's have some general knowledge with good crossovers to make people think. (9 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #5444: Good one! Liked the aliens. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charles @ #5453: At least three misspelt names (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5435: perfect. got it just in time. another cracker from you (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5427: good one. solved it minus the Shakespeare connection. nice !! (9 years, 2 months ago)

narrow neck @ #5453: Nice grid, thanks (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bongo @ #5453: Oops it should be Nicola not Nicole, sorry guys (9 years, 2 months ago)

caz @ #5452: wouldn't accept rappers?? (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5421: Enjoyed this, haven't got 10/10 for some time (9 years, 2 months ago)

darto @ #5450: easy but well made (9 years, 2 months ago)

melanie @ #5419: A tough grid, I looked at it and then moved on to the next one (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5452: Wouldn't accept cathedrals which was annoying (9 years, 2 months ago)

caz @ #506: I entered jazz pianists but this was disallowed as apparently I should have said famous jazz pianists. Doesn't it go without saying they're famous - how would I have heard of them otherwise!! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Charles @ #5450: Easy grid (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5445: But to easy, I also wasn't able to put Olympic athletes which was frustrating (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5450: Good grid. Plenty of crossovers! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Lulu @ #5445: I said Olympic champions but was marked wrong as I hadn't specified gold, bit fussy. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Name @ #2736: Not obvious but not impossible either. A good balance. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Trotter @ #5445: Full names led to this being really easy, solved within 30 seconds or so. Each category too easy with a lack of red herrings. (9 years, 2 months ago)

COCO @ #5449: idk im just saying i wouldnt (9 years, 2 months ago)

phdierdre @ #5443: Ringo??? Richard Starkey???? (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5439: Good one. Two lines came quickly but I got caught out by the Eleanor Roosevelt red herring. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5438: Tough but imaginative. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5437: Standing on your head to read the upside down words is the hardest bit. Definitely fiendish. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Macy @ #48: Lolllllllll (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5425: Good grid, I think you overestimate our knowledge though. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5444: Jackal, lager are spelling issues. Good effort but a bit obscure. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5422: Because I was so useless I realised you must have put a comma at the end of the definitions. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5443: Really enjoyed this not too difficult, just right as I'm just learning how this all works! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Quantum @ #5437: Tough grid at first but when you find one group it gets a bit easier. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bozo @ #5435: Lapped it up (9 years, 2 months ago)

musicquizzr @ #5441: Sorry folks, the descriptions don't work! Just tested it putting in the right answers and they didn't work! I don't know how this happened but I'm sorry for any frustration this may cause. (9 years, 2 months ago)

musicquizzr @ #5441: Sorry folks, the descriptions don't work! Just tested it putting in the right answers and they didn't work! I don't know how this happened but I'm sorry for any frustration this may cause. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5435: As an old punter to a young gridded (apologies to Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull ) I loved this one. Well done Primrosey. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5437: Sorry about the incomplete answer. The "(2" was giving an example, but the answer is pretty self-explanatory anyway :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5411: Come on gridders, a slip with the capitals is a bit of a giveaway but the answer recognition is often a difficult point especially for new setters as ramuz has pointed out. Anyway including an anagram of my monicker is a nicet ouch. This grid is fine, stop complaining. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5417: Primrose is spot on but this one is clever and memorable because of that line. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5435: A nice grid. For the anagram category I wrote 'anagram number' and got it incorrect (but I gave myself a pat on the back anyhow). Also for the betting category I had no idea of the link so I wrote 'film movie character' (hoping to cover some possibilities) and got it right... :? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5427: Good mix (9 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5409: Fun, thanks :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5427: Liked this, didn't find all the categories but enjoyed trying (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5420: Thanks Toast all becomes clear now, did it again and made more sense to me this time (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5427: A tactile, multi-dimensional grid. A puzz for all the senses. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Quantum @ #5428: A tough grid, with 100% crossovers :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

erastes @ #5411: agree with nigel - I put "winnie the pooh" "wind in the willows" "fur" and got incorrect! I bet when i click on the deer, that will say incorrect, too. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5420: Challenging grid. Hampton knew the name changes were key but couldn't quite Quimble the two different groups. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5426: Max puzz. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5425: Absolutely puzztastic. Herrings gave Hampton the runaround, but knew the connections at the end. Lovely stuff! (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5420: Harry, not sure which categories you mean - it depends what order you got them in. I can only think you mean the two mirror image categories, but they are not the same and are mutually exclusive. One is former names of things that are now renamed while the other is new names of things that used to be named differently. Is that OK? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #98: quite clever - especially that it's an old one which people have probably copied (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #48: good - but bit too easy; no crossovers (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #1708: not bad - but no idea why it;s the top grid (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #5306: tricksy again (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #5410: tricksy! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5426: Wow! That was practically impossible, but I managed to get one of the categories :D (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5427: Great grid! Liked the homophone category :D (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5427: Very good. Managed to find my second group with less than a second left on the clock. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Rob @ #5427: Good one! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5411: No need to be rude Nigel. It was a bit easy and they needed to figure out how to accept the answers better but a bit of fun nevertheless, thanks (9 years, 2 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5422: Great grid, thanks (9 years, 2 months ago)

Rob @ #5424: Ignore/Delete this one - an error in the spelling of one of the connections! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5422: Nice grid :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5422: Just brilliant as usual. Phoenix..must try to work in some odd actor names next time I submit! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5417: Liked it all apart from anagrams (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5420: The last two categories are the same? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Harry @ #5423: Not sure about the deep category? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #4736: Good one. I need to swot up on Family Guy. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5415: Obscure (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5419: Very obscure! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5423: Excellent grid (9 years, 2 months ago)

Badger @ #1942: Nice (9 years, 2 months ago)

Badger @ #1942: Nice (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5419: A very tough grid I scored only a 1/10 :( (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5418: A bit of work on the acceptable answers would be good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nigelh @ #5411: Utter Tosh!! Winnie the Pooh - Incorrect! Wind in the Willows - incorrect! Fur - Incorrect! Mustelidae - Incorrect! As dumb as a box of rocks. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5417: One group was exceptionally fiendish! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5417: Fancy me missing the old "anagrams of German cities with a letter missing" trick. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Rob @ #5415: Good fun but very tough (9 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #576: Roots group was particularly smart! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Catriona @ #5414: Good one. Not being a Londoner no disadvantage. Missed the word-play, was being too literal! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Ian @ #5407: Good one, but link for blue line doesn't work properly. I put 'grapes' (as in 'of wrath') and it said I was correct...when clearly I wasn't! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5410: Great! Had 3 members of Blondie, almost got caught out thinking of comic actress Kathy Burke.. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #18: Thousand Island is a salad dressing in case you are stilly waiting patiently op. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5414: It doesn't necessarily help to know London. I got distracted by the first words of three old London dog tracks. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5410: Very good, liked the red herrings but no idea about Blondie. (9 years, 2 months ago)

primrose @ #5409: Good one. MENSA did for me. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5410: Soft on the outside with a lovely crunchy interior (9 years, 2 months ago)

primrose @ #5414: Loved it. Couldnt do it. But loved it. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5411: Good one. But should have been checked and more crossovers (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5414: Solid grid -- perhaps a challenge for non Londoners though! (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5398: Enjoyable general knowledge grid. Mish, the colour of the group is not fixed. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Rob @ #5410: I enjoyed it! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Rob @ #5411: Good fun but need to sort the category acceptance words! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5411: Could do with a bit of brushing up. The reason I got the fur category was because they were the only ones not to start with a capital letter... I got all of the things incorrect due to the narrow margins of what is an acceptable correct answer... (9 years, 2 months ago)

Tracy @ #222: I put murdered which I thought was pretty specific, but was marked down because I didn't say shot dead. A bit pernickety. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Anonymous II @ #5411: A truly terrible grid!! Far too easy but when you type in the exact answers as given by the setter they are counted as incorrect. In addition to this there is an "e" at the end of ermine!!! Numpty!!!!! (9 years, 2 months ago)

GRIDSQUAD @ #4338: Utter undiluted shite. (9 years, 2 months ago)

diatribe3 @ #5410: what tosh! (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5409: Very good. Took a while to get Trinity....a good mix of themes. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5407: Liked this one. Gilligan, Angus and Clarkson kind of gave it away, and it was never going to be a Top Gear line. Very good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Julie @ #5368: Nice but a little too easy (9 years, 2 months ago)

Julie @ #5366: Good, but I didn't spot the countries! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Kimberley @ #5365: Great thank you (9 years, 2 months ago)

Julie @ #5346: Nice grid (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5391: Lovely puzz! Stumped by a couple of these herrings! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5385: Signature KAL herrings, and a mixture of categories as surprising as Hodgson's team sheets. (9 years, 2 months ago)

mish @ #5398: Thought it was a bit harsh to mark me as incorrect for putting "mash" for the green group! (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5397: Good grid. As for ex-Spurs managers....David Pleat will be back there again soon! (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5394: Answer acceptance isn't that important is it? If you know you're on the right track, that'll do. It is quite hard to cover every possible answer with keywords. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5393: Very good. Louis Bega never quite managed to follow that hit up, did he? (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5391: Good. Seas found around the Arctic sounds like they've been misplaced! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5344: Not bad. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5345: Quite straightforward. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5345: Quite straightforward. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5346: A bit too easy to identify the common themes. I prefer more varied, unique themes but it was ok to play. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5364: Two particularly very easy connections and hardly a red herring but a fair try. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bud @ #5381: A couple of spelling mistakes ie Chiaroscuro and Miles Davis. Very easy connections. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5394: Agree categories too narrow. I put 'half of double act' which is true, but wasn't acceptable. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5393: Nice balance (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5394: Nice mix (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5396: The downside of trying for many crossovers is the loss of uniqueness. Also I find your categories too obscure. Nice idea, though, all colours. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5397: Too much obscurity for me (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5394: This is good with nice red herrings and not too much obscure knowledge required. Suggest you may have made the acceptable answers too narrow. (9 years, 2 months ago)

mark @ #5396: Really well put together, guessed all connections but could only get 1 because they all fit into each others groups (9 years, 2 months ago)

Not unique @ #5396: The 4 grids are supposed to solve to a unique set of solutions. If 1 clue from a group can be swapped with another in a different group, without changing the solution of either group, then it is not unique. The more red herrings the better, but I can see at least 4 solutions, using the 16 clues given, that fit your solutions. Please bear this in mind. (9 years, 2 months ago)

TheWallClimbers @ #368: Good mix of knowledge, we enjoyed your grid! Typo in one of the answers: .. Four Horseman .. Correction: horsemEn (9 years, 2 months ago)

Alison @ #282: Excellent! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5383: Great grid, but another very easy one. No very out of the ordinary knowledge required. Helps with the countries if you've ever collected coins or stamps. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5384: Quite fun, but very easy...couldn't see any sign of obscurity! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5385: Got the 'green' line but for wrong reason...thought they were all football managers! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5385: Got the 'green' line but for wrong reason...thought they were all football managers! (9 years, 2 months ago)

gem @ #5389: impossible, sorry, only got poets (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5179: Primrose is right on the rhyming slang. Tea leaf is the only one of the four which is said in full to include the rhyming word. (9 years, 2 months ago)

gem @ #5391: really good, not too difficult (9 years, 2 months ago)

phdierdre @ #5385: took me 1 min 47. Good grid, not hard though. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Oddball @ #5378: Great great! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Oddball @ #5389: Amazing grid,ramuz as ever.how do you do it? (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5384: You could also have had NUN in birds of pray. Good grid this. And, sadly, I knew the Last of The Summer Wine characters even though I normally hate programmes where old men hurtle down hills in tin baths...seemingly every week. (9 years, 2 months ago)

cakeface @ #5389: Postal Insurance 2!!! That HAD to be a film as did The Chaperone. Lenin hiding in the whole nine yards, fantastic. This grid is pure genius! (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5383: I got lost with the Audi in Gaudi, the Burger in Limburger and the backwards Apse in Espana. Not to mention the things I won't mention. Good grid! (9 years, 2 months ago)

HoraceEO @ #5389: RUBBISH! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5385: That one was nearly impossible! Good red herring category :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

daupo @ #5376: My complaint is that the categories are a bit sloppy, and the answers ungenerous. So, for example, I typed "genre" for the green clues, and was marked incorrect, and Michael Jackson for the purple clues, likewise. The correct themes should be as inclusive as possible. And the fact that "fantasy" is lower-case is sloppy and misleading. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #2621: Very tough, well put together, curling one a bit obsure but fair enough (9 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #1875: Very cleverly done, pretty tough. I pretty much worked out all 4 connections but didnt get any in the time cos of the read herrings so well done (9 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #238: Good, but super easy (9 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #98: Good, well put together and failry tough but not obscure and totally solveable (9 years, 2 months ago)

Mark @ #48: Nicely done, very easy tho (9 years, 2 months ago)

MArk @ #1708: Very cleverly made not too difficult and there are a few errors as you can see from the other comments (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5378: Wow--just brilliant! Crossovers all over the place. Got me with the book characters. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5382: Fun grid-only got the rock-group one by default. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5383: Well researched, but too much obscure knowledge for my liking. Resorted to guesswork. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5384: Good one. A bit on the obscure side. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Chip @ #5382: Oops, sorry! It's 4-word, not 4-letter (9 years, 2 months ago)

Burundibob @ #5378: Got Onegin Twist and Gray but Eyre didn't jump out. Solitaire not in Williams and Twister not in games. 3 minutes is too short unless you get lucky. Very good grid! (9 years, 2 months ago)

cakeface @ #5378: Eyre in the middle of Cockney Rebel, who'd've thought it? (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5371: Excellent, except for the bit where you suggested that Dr Snuggles was fictional. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5370: Like the red circle idea and the six word novel (Hemingway?) another one. Good grid. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Sigh @ #5311: Thank you for all the helpful feed back folks. Reading Toast's explanation I think I did rom emp, rom rul, Oops. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5362: I quite enjoyed this one even though the categories did not come easily ( or at all). Worth a go for ramuz's comment alone. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5366: Nice red herrings. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5365: Top notch. Well done. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5364: Excellent. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5363: Ashamed I missed the mechanicals but the rest was pretty obscure. Funnily enough one of the words sums up my score. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5359: It would be a good name for a fly spray - zero them with an aerosol. You can have a share of the royalties. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5358: Good variety. Well done. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5354: Agree with ramuz. I've even seen the odd badger during drought conditions. Someone ought to tell them they're getting it wrong. (9 years, 2 months ago)

HughHugh @ #5370: Wonderful! Some really different ideas (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #1708: Great! Well done :D (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5366: Good countries line. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5368: Nice little grid. Solved in around 25 seconds :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Puzzle Paws @ #5359: Azerol sounds like it should be a word, but is made up. Just to add to the confusion. (9 years, 2 months ago)

john @ #628: Okay grid. Aldgate isn't derived from 'old' though. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5362: Strong cider, My Little Pony and Samurai Pizza Cats?!!! That's not a tad obscure. That's a grid from someone who spends too much time at a bus stop outside a TV shop! (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5363: Got the Shakespeare answer word for word....but marked incorrect because I didn't have Mechanicals in inverted commas. I joke... I thought Shakespeare may have been sufficient, how wrong I was. Good one. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5364: Very good, 15 seconds to spare. Getting onto the PMs early helped. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5365: Marvellous. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gina @ #5364: Another excellent and challenging grid. You're definitely one of my favourite setters, Primrose...keep them coming! (9 years, 2 months ago)

MrHead @ #5364: Not being British this was very difficult. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5365: Demanding but fair (9 years, 2 months ago)

MrHead @ #5357: Thanks for the comments. I made another wall today. Hope you guys play that one too. I've become obsessed with trying to make these since I discovered Only Connect about a month ago. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Sid33 @ #5359: Enjoyable. But what is Azerol? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gina @ #5358: Top Notch :-) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bill @ #5327: If "no" is an emotion, this triggered a strong emotional response from me. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Bill @ #5346: I liked this one! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5364: Clever grid as always...difficult but doable! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Anatomy @ #5353: 3 of the clues ended in parts of the body. Did anyone else spot this and try to complete a group from it? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5364: Good grid. Not many crossovers but difficult connections (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gobbo @ #5364: Nice one (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5363: Some fiendish ones ;) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5362: A tad obscure (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5354: You are truly a bamboozle merchant. Good one (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5357: I was well up the garden path (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5361: My Achilles heel is not knowing stuff that everyone else does. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5359: Very good. Liked that one. (9 years, 2 months ago)

diatribe3 @ #5361: Looked up hector, and quite right. However I didn't spot that line anyway. Henry and Hector, and tried to match black with yellow. Bamboozled, but great quality! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5359: Nice and varied. Now how about crossovers. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #4325: One of those categories is now outdated. But an ok grid. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #1875: Got the category containing Aibohphobia within 7 seconds! Stumped by the other categories though. Nice grid :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5357: A good grid with a red herring category :) (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeni @ #5359: Nice grid, a few challenging ones :D (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5358: Very good, enjoyed that. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andrew @ #5327: No, oww, yay, and ha ha are not emotions. They're not even words that represent emotions as laughter is not an emotion. Also, "Sax" is not a musical style. And Marge for breakfast? Really? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andrew @ #5323: I would just add that instead of just names in Beatles songs they could also be considered "people" or "characters" in Beatles songs (9 years, 2 months ago)

Andrew @ #5335: Hmm, as an American myself I'm not sure whether to be offended or just be happy I'd "gotten" the answers correct :p (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5353: Didn't get the G line, but did anyone? Very good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5354: The foxes round my way aren't nocturnal! 2:12 to spare with a lucky guess. Good grid. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5357: That was a good one. No chess involved, good trickery! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Riley @ #5354: Very clever. Only stumped on the body parts. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5345: You have hit just the right level. Very enjoyable. (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5343: Nicely done. Accessible without specialist knowledge and good red herrings. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5348: Did for me, you cunning rascal (9 years, 2 months ago)

Petyr @ #5350: The two groups consisting of elements are a bit dubious. Specifically: -Silver's name is not derived from a country. Argentina is named after Argentum, yes, but not the other way around. -Americium is not not named after a country. It is named, I believe, after the Americas rather than any particularly constituent nation. So it could potentially fit into the 'larger than a country' group. -What is the standard by which you are judging 'bigger than a country' for that group? Of course, Pluto and the Sun are both bigger than any terrestrial state. However, Scanadium is named after Scandinavia, which consists of countries but is not bigger than all other countries. It just creates a rather arbitrary way of defining size. (9 years, 2 months ago)

trendsetter @ #5348: Beleaguer gave it away a bit, but the other imperial crossovers added some confusion. Good one however. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5346: Very good. Didn't take too long to work you out, but then placing them became tricky. Marvellous. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gobbo @ #5346: Nice little warmer upper (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5345: Oh no....I'm starting to think like you Primrose! 2 minutes to spare, that's not normal. Really good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5344: Great stuff. We all have to step up our game! (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5343: Excellent! Not undoable but trial and error gets you there once you've sussed the football grounds. Well done again. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5342: Sussed Primrose. I almost did one with Red Rum backwards myself. I thought this was very good. (9 years, 2 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5341: Guessed one line but haven't we all done a self indulgent grid once in a while? As for the underrated romance movies...thanks for the recommendation! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Will @ #1818: Here in America we call Cluedo "Clue." I thought that should be an acceptable answer. I also typed "thrillers" as the connection for the Hitchcock category. But I guess that one is my fault for not noticing they were all Hitchcock. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5345: Great crossovers; Roman Gods v. clever, and US spellings--my pet hate, dammit!! (9 years, 2 months ago)

toast @ #5337: Enjoyed this one. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Zeke @ #984: What about the answers.Are they secret. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Delphine @ #5342: Sorry, but "ribbage" and "mred" aren't standalone legit words! Isn't that the norm? Otherwise, good fun. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Nana @ #5344: Good grid, lots of crossovers and no specialist knowledge (9 years, 2 months ago)

bulla @ #5213: what does 'there' games mean??? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5335: A little gem (9 years, 2 months ago)

Gobbo @ #5343: Oo nice (9 years, 2 months ago)

Annie @ #5342: Great stuff--I'd got the other three so 'Sliver' wasn't a problem! (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5336: Not in my sphere (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #2494: Crossovers? (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5341: Please choose topics for which you are not the only expert. (9 years, 2 months ago)

Primrose @ #5342: A thousand apologies. Revils should be Revlis (9 years, 2 months ago)

Catriona @ #5337: Not exactly fiendish! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Catriona @ #5337: Not exactly fiendish! (9 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #5311: Not sure what you did but reread the advice on the site. Your explanations are fine but your definitions (which are hidden from sight) need to be short and separated by commas e.g instead of Roman emperors/rulers try rom , emp, rul but don't put a comma at the end even if the definition is just one word . If you do that you will accept any answer including no answer at all. Hope that helps. (9 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #5335: The roads were good. Got to be careful with Americanisation - sometimes it turns out they have stayed with the old words and we have changed - though of course that counts as an improvement ! (9 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #5333: Let's be positive and encourage the French in this. Four words down, only a few thousand to go! Nice grid. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #5335: Agree, good one. All those roads very sneaky! (9 years, 3 months ago)

cakeface @ #5337: You've gone soft on us! (9 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #5323: I liked the Beatles line. The "insert an l" line was a bit tough though I did wonder about gavel. I thought they were tools ( bob being a plumb bob and a gave being an obscure one I didn't know. The earlier comments are harsh. (9 years, 3 months ago)

diatribe3 @ #5336: Very good quality! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5329: A good literary workout (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5335: Good one. Horrible, annoying Americanisms....never! (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5333: Liked this one, but the French line was beyond me. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5329: Very pleasant, well done. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Annie @ #5333: Too obscure for me, sorry! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Annie @ #5327: It wasn't that bad..the emotions link let it down a little though..Ouch! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5320: "On my mind" brilliant! (9 years, 3 months ago)

sigh @ #5311: Cheers for the feed back. It was my first grid and I'm not familiar with the answer recognition yet. I've noticed other grids have the same issues and now I've walked a mile in their shoes I hope to do better :) Any tips for the answer recognition would be appreciated. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5311: Bad answers like skidmarks staining an otherwise fresh grid. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5320: Taxing puzz! Agree with darto on that one. (9 years, 3 months ago)

darto @ #3188: nice (9 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #5320: Very nicely done! (9 years, 3 months ago)

darto @ #5320: another fantastic grid from you. never got started but perfectly formed. need 10 minutes not 3 minutes to do yours. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Diatribe3 @ #5306: Class (9 years, 3 months ago)

Diatribe3 @ #5320: Got in a "state" with this one. Red Herringsville, Arizona! (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5311: I got lucky with the answer recognition....got them all word for word. Unfortunately I didn't know what any of the links were. How odd? (9 years, 3 months ago)

JimmyB @ #5307: Bill Shankly also managed Uddersfield. I thought that may have been the link. But does it really matter how you get the line? Also thought that weed referred to something else! (9 years, 3 months ago)

JimmyB @ #5306: HQ's comment fabulous. Agree totally. (9 years, 3 months ago)

... @ #5311: If you only could change the recognition terms.... (9 years, 3 months ago)

HughHugh @ #5311: Great grid but let down by poor answer recognition (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5311: Really good grid with great crossovers. I got all the category descriptions right but none were accepted. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #5311: OK grid, but answers useless!! Knew all the links but it disallowed every single one leaving me feeling frustrated. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Outasync @ #15: Solid grid. Nice work. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Outasync @ #14: Synonyms should be a valid answer, as should timid, and nervous. Otherwise, a good puzzle with a couple of nice red herrings. (9 years, 3 months ago)

darto @ #5306: very good. didn't get it but blooming good (9 years, 3 months ago)

Outasync @ #5246: A good grid for beginners, some nice red herrings and simple categories. Agreed that AS is a bit weak, though. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5290: Hampton hearts the grid, but Quimbles quibbles the explanations. Guessed two completely wrong but got points for them anyway. Madness. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Beryl @ #48: Not bad (9 years, 3 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #5293: Ultrapuzz. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5292: Very good. I got side tracked looking for other despots to go with thatcher (9 years, 3 months ago)

No name @ #5277: There needs to be more flexibility on the groups. I put games consoles which all are but the answer was about plugging into a tv which I don't think many people do with a Gameboy or a PSP. Otherwise a good grid!!!! (9 years, 3 months ago)

darto @ #5079: a cracker- tho only got Buckaroo. have never seen Charlie and choc factory (not really your fault) but hidden countries was brilliant (9 years, 3 months ago)

darto @ #5289: yeah- a different way of doing it and got nowhere by trying to work out crossovers- interesting though (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5289: Nice one. Next a few crossovers perhaps? (9 years, 3 months ago)

darto @ #579: fantastic. got it just in time. fair but challenging (9 years, 3 months ago)

joeking @ #5271: Very good grid. So easy when you see the answers! (9 years, 3 months ago)

toast @ #5246: Nice balance. Plenty of crossovers and nothing needing arcane knowledge. ,A bit more work on setting parameters for the answers and it would be a great easy to medium grid. Well done. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5225: Ridiculous!! Alice in Wonderland line link is rubbish! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Toby @ #238: I got all the connections easily, just so many overlaps made it really trappy to connect. Altho I didn't get carbon till i was given it, I was thinking dating ____ game, but wahh! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Toby @ #5178: Tricky overlaps in this one! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Alex @ #167: Light year is also a unit of distance. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Matt bunce @ #5183: The worst thing I have ever done (9 years, 3 months ago)

Matt @ #5179: Possibly the worst grid Ive played. For the rhyming slang youve only listed half the words on two squares. Homonyms for Greek letterscome on. Could also do with more crossovers. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Big Al @ #5179: Needs more crossovers,less specialised knowledge (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5179: Good one, and even better if you don't get stuck on Angel Delight!. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5178: Yes, good ideas. A bit different. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5170: You're lucky Mike didn't see this one Seijam. Good start. I got confused when I saw thatcher and automatically assumed all of the other answers were things that she'd attempted to close down... (9 years, 3 months ago)

Non island ape @ #5173: Yet another grid only solvable by island apes (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5178: Different wavelength (9 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5178: Good ideas- enjoyed it. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Catriona @ #5173: Typed in 'arenas' and it said incorrect. Man U kit sponsors too specialised for me, but had worked out they were sports sponsors. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Oddball @ #5179: This is a good grid with challenging crossovers. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Big Al @ #5173: Loved it, perfect amount of crossovers and perfect amount of specialised knowledge. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Seijam @ #5169: Spelling doesn't help. Fiendish but could make some links out. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5170: Nice little starter. Ready for the main course. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Mr A @ #5170: It really wasn't that fun or interesting to solve, and then when you get to the end you're looking for specific answers, which seems trivial when the categories are so obvious (9 years, 3 months ago)

Oddball @ #5170: Crossovers? (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5169: I was onto the personal pronouns like a shot, but the rest kind of drifted. Thankfully you caught Mike in a good mood! (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5165: No crossovers indeed.....Cameron and Farage could quite easily have been in the cartoon line. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5167: Without doubt, the best grid I have ever played. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5167: Very good. Strictly you shouldn't have to pay for a colour TV licence if you only watch nature programmes featuring black and white creatures? (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5166: Good grid. Proper fiendish with the Demi and Cornetto in there. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5164: Not sure answer definitions are that important as long as you know that you were on the right track. Good one (9 years, 3 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5164: Not bad, thanks. But didn't allow "By the sea" or "Beers" (9 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5165: Pretty poor- categories easy to sort, but much too picky on the links-knew them all but was told it was incorrect. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Ian @ #5164: Should allow 'mills'. The places are also holiday destinations. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5165: Ok. Could have done with crossovers (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5164: Ok. Categories a bit loose.(places with a beach?) (9 years, 3 months ago)

Catriona @ #5158: Some clever ideas. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5155: Mostly vowel words?? Diphthong, digraph etc are terms from linguistics so this should be allowed as link. (9 years, 3 months ago)

maharg @ #5159: classic!-just what a grid should be. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5157: Categories a bit specialised (9 years, 3 months ago)

Lemur @ #5143: No idea why this is coming up as 'fiendish' when I'm sure I selected 'hard'. *shrug* (9 years, 3 months ago)

squiggle @ #5146: Pretty obscure apart from 'days'. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5146: I got the DAYS line but the rest did for me. I still can't spot the crossovers, buthat's probably me being dim. (9 years, 3 months ago)

primrose @ #5146: difficulty lies in abstruseness of knowledge rather than intricacy of connections. (9 years, 3 months ago)

primrose @ #5144: You wily old fox (9 years, 3 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5142: Easy but fun, thanks! (9 years, 3 months ago)

squamous @ #5141: j random, bugger, you're right. I used an online list and thought I checked but obviously not. Sorry about that. Thanks everyone. (9 years, 3 months ago)

j random user @ #5141: Tricky, but solvable. The only set I couldn't get the connection for is the one that includes hippo. Probably because hippo doesn't fit the group. In what alphabet does "p" come before "o"? (9 years, 3 months ago)

Lemur @ #5136: Ugh. I hadn't noticed the 'Oribital' spelling mistake. In the absence of an edit function I'll just have to petition Baltimore to rename itself iBaltimore. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5141: Out of my depth with this one (9 years, 3 months ago)

HughHugh @ #5137: Good - but the anagrams are too difficult for 3 minutes. Or, at least, too difficult for me ;-) (9 years, 3 months ago)

Dingbat @ #5119: Brilliantly confusing (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5120: All based on one word! Very clever (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5121: Neat idea. Liked it (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5123: Bit boring. No wordplay. Depended only on knowledge (9 years, 3 months ago)

Primrose @ #5125: Good one but with 4 incorrect spellings I thought you were losing your touch! (9 years, 3 months ago)

Catriona @ #5120: A fun grid, thank you. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Annie @ #5122: Very, very good-- I only got the hidden words link by default! (9 years, 3 months ago)

i wish @ #5104: Richard Ham would grow up. Pathetic and embarrassing really. (9 years, 3 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #3990: dreadful - too obscure. (9 years, 3 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5110: Nice one (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5113: Good one. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Annie @ #5111: I liked it; good crossovers. Got the airports first, made it easier. (9 years, 3 months ago)

audio @ #5105: Linkers didn't work at all for me. (9 years, 3 months ago)

jeff @ #5103: A good test. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Jeff @ #5111: Not good, not good at all. (9 years, 3 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5108: Enjoyable grid (9 years, 3 months ago)

cakeface @ #5111: Good standard. Christie crossovers all over the shop! (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5111: Is it safe to go back to my original pseudonym yet? (9 years, 3 months ago)

cakeface @ #5079: Excellent. I agree with Catriona about the countries! (9 years, 3 months ago)

cakeface @ #5110: That was a good one. The gemstones line was so obvious but I still struggled to get it! The zodiac signs likewise. (9 years, 3 months ago)

3Barrabas @ #5110: Sorry...just tested it and the numbers line isn't accepting "numbers". I didn't put a comma after the word "numbers". (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5108: Didn't accept phonetic alphabet....you are strict! (9 years, 3 months ago)

cakeface @ #5103: Ace, King, Queen, Jack. Very good. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5109: Another good one Primrose. (9 years, 3 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5107: Good one. Gone are the days when one could joke about famous Belgians. (9 years, 3 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5108: Some links too narrow, but generally a good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

McAbbarey @ #5106: I am sorry to say, but the grid is not good, because your keywords for the answers are extremly strict. I got 3 of my 4 answers right, but it tells me they are incorrect due to the restricted possibilites. (9 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #5077: Where are these cities? (9 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #5106: 2 of my answers were correct (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5104: Yawn.....not me. Richard has clearly slipped his straight jacket! (9 years, 4 months ago)

The real LVGBoxhead @ #5102: Jeez, I thought the schools went back last week? I don't intend to get involved in your childish games, so will simply say that over the years I have seen quite a few excellent websites/boards spoiled by the actions of a thoughtless few. (9 years, 4 months ago)

composite @ #5103: Thank goodness. Good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93REAL @ #5102: Richard. Can we please end this now? (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5103: Back to normality! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5075: is a cock sandwich (9 years, 4 months ago)

Pantyliner @ #5099: Utter shite - please can someone ban this idiot. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5101: Didn't Henry VIII have nine wives.....or is that cats? (9 years, 4 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5099: When posting spoof grids it would be appreciated if you were to make it clear (perhaps in the submitter's name) that they are non-serious, so that those of us who aren't part of your 'game' don't waste time on trying to solve them. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Newcomer @ #5100: Lawks! This is difficulter than I thought. I thought that this was of a similaration to the BBC2 show Audrey Collect, but these are well hard. Seven years doing my doctorate in clam jousting seems to have all been in Noah Vale! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Newt Lamps 4 Old @ #5099: Great grid Rich. I got stuck on the Stilgoe line ..... toast and decking were the red herrings for that one, obviously. AND shrove Tuesday NOT a lizard!!!! You are a tricky one so you are. (9 years, 4 months ago)

lawrenceandthemachine @ #5099: Sorry Sue but the sand lizard does exist, however Normandy stood Richard Stilgoe up and should therefore not be regarded as a former partner. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Sue Narmey @ #5099: Another cracker from Richard! Unfortunately Richard, I think you will find that there is no such thing as a sand lizard. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5078: Excellent. The pilot episode of Tortoise Hill Partners is available in all good pirate dvd stores. Can't believe St John Pallister was ever that young. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5095: What really threw me was having to get out of bed without the aid of a parachute. Also there being three Don McLean songs. American Pie, Heterosexual and Nylon Insert. Nurse! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5097: I'm only guessing that Richard Ham is taking my pseudonym in vain, but I particularly like the childrens' game. Perhaps a run-through of the rules Richard? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5080: Quite fun but did not accept ham, chicken or pork for the answers. What is fish candy? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5086: loved it. only got 5 points but great grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

composite @ #5096: Not difficult to work out, but the LBJ not Glen Miller and the hidden furniture line were inspired! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Holy Crap @ #5073: Worst grid in a long time (9 years, 4 months ago)

composite @ #5086: Answer acceptance a tad sketchy but a good grid nevertheless. (9 years, 4 months ago)

composite @ #5095: Kept sticking B(Olivia) in for girls names and the song titles also threw me. Clever stuff! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5079: Thanks Richard. Surprised you didn't also spot that Gloop is an anagram of space shuttle if you take out some letters and add others. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5080: Puts a whole new slant on the game. Pick 4 totally unrelated rectangles and hope for the best! Fish candy....... (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5086: Good ideas. Well done (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #5082: Wouldn't allow 'happy' or 'tobacco' which are both correct. Annoying. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Mister E @ #5077: Muppet (9 years, 4 months ago)

uuurgh bad @ #5082: (9 years, 4 months ago)

Phillins @ #4972: Excellent (9 years, 4 months ago)

EdnaWelthorpe @ #2948: T means tea???? Who'd have thunk... (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #5079: Great grid with clever ideas. Countries were very well hidden! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Griddle @ #5080: This is a cheeky grid. Ham based answers? Pork sword? I actually laughed out loud. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5077: Richard...you must be laughing all the way to therapy! (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #5079: Well after the previous two grids this is a breath of fresh air. Thank You! (9 years, 4 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5075: It's a shame that some (presumably) children have nothing better to do than clutter websites with their petty games. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5076: I spotted the "elm" in Lionel Messi and stupidly thought that this could be imaginative. (9 years, 4 months ago)

jane @ #5048: Very good - I liked that! (9 years, 4 months ago)

jane @ #5076: bad language! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Gridee #1 @ #5076: I am greatly offended that you would say that to an honest hard working gridee you should be ashamed sir (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5076: I think i speak for all gridees when i say please do not make a new grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5067: Oh you said about the mistake. My mistake Hahahahahaa (get it) PS tricky grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

RIchard Ham @ #5073: Sorry bout that just pranking i had no idea about the grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5076: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SH*$. Puzzgrid is a serious website, you are a troll!!! Go away you sad little man. (9 years, 4 months ago)

DipShit @ #5076: Best grid ever by far (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5067: SPELLING MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5072: gg (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5075: This is my Magnum Opus. I have spent my entire life working towards this puzzgrid masterpiece. Thank you. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Chukky @ #4256: F1 fans will be thrown by Surtees - nice grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

mary @ #5068: no comment (9 years, 4 months ago)

Harriet @ #5068: Hadn't heard or watched most of the programmes (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5073: Good grid. Cricket, rivers, birds and Beethoven. Very varied. Beethoven and Agazarri are also composers with cooking devices in their names! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Rob @ #4789: Excellent, picked Fabian Delph but thought it too random until the groups came! Good work! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Cb @ #5058: Poor. Did not accept hit or sins as my description even though right. Nice grid, but it is not sophisticated enough in understanding answers. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Mister E @ #5059: Ash, couldn't have put it better myself (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #969: Good grid, crossovers, but do-able. Thanks. (9 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #4633: Great Aunt is a USism (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #5033: Agree with Ramuz - Richard Ham is a bit of a cock. And as for him having a son, I find this hard to believe. Also, using "off of" clearly signposts this is man as a moron. :-) (9 years, 4 months ago)

Eddie @ #5068: Nice (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5058: Didn't allow "seven deadly sins" which is odd. Good grid, but could be gooder! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5061: Agree with Oddball. There are crossovers. Animals that can also be verbs and chucking the mouse into computer stuff...... did you consider using hamstrad??!!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5063: Yearn as a red herring for facial parts, and I got a bit lost with OAF and ROGUE which made it more interesting. Good one! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5067: Quality. Well done! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Phillins @ #5034: Cricket explanation too specific compared to other answers (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #1122: Of course Iona is a Scottish island! It's off Mull. See any map of western Scotland or check it out on Wikipedia! Thought this was a really good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squggle @ #1124: Yes, it is tricky, but some clever links. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #1125: Not the best. Some links very tenuous. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #1128: Should allow 'artists' as well as painters. (9 years, 4 months ago)

melanie @ #5042: Didn't understand 'sims related'? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #5067: A clever grid...worked out most of the categories, but tricky sorting them out. Well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Griddle @ #5067: Oh dear I made a spelling mistake in this one. At least it won't stop people spotting the group. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Nellie Dean @ #4633: t's GREAT aunt, not grand aunt. And "toy" piano is hardly an everyday term. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Phillins @ #5058: Failed to have enough lattitude in explanations. Got all links but agree should accept collective nouns. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Phillins @ #5061: Stumped by the rodents! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Phillins @ #5063: Fairly straightforward but one challenging group (9 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #5063: Good grid, but easy rather than medium. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #5061: Does have crossovers! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Griddle @ #5066: Sorry everyone. I made a mistake and used blow twice. I don't know if this site allows you to edit or delete your grids, but you can give it one star so it doesn't appear on the front page. Sorry again. (9 years, 4 months ago)

phdierdre @ #5061: Just as easy as your other one. needs crossovers. Good. (9 years, 4 months ago)

phdierdre @ #5063: Very easy, but good. (9 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #5063: Great clue recognition. (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #33: Liked this one, Quizzle. Well done. And typing "Anagrams" did give me a 'correct." (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #28: Alas! Too American to get 3 of 4. Thought I'd read all Sherlock Holmes stories, but never heard of Cardboard Box, et. al. Never heard of any of the bands. Never heard of Pepperwood. Comment was cute in the answer. Clever groupings, though. (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #27: Agreed that "jail" should be accepted. Synonyms for jail. Hair cloth is fabric with hair woven into it. Not sure if it's the same thing, but "hair shirt" is more common -- hair shirts as I understand it -- were worn (are worn?) to punish one's self. (9 years, 4 months ago)

melanie @ #5034: We like easy ones now and again (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #5053: I'd spotted scart but couldn't think would the others in the group might be (9 years, 4 months ago)

Voiceofsanity @ #3970: Connection? Two separate words linked by a single letter?? Reeelllly??? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Ash @ #5059: (9 years, 4 months ago)

Gina @ #5053: One of my favourite grids to date! Some really clever (if frustrating) crossovers. Well done :-) (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #5058: Frustrating links- should allow 'collective nouns' for animal groups, 'synonyms for hit'. Silent letters a good one...so obvious it's easy to miss! (9 years, 4 months ago)

RowG @ #5052: What's wrong with boy bands as an answer? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Nino @ #5054: Bit naff! (9 years, 4 months ago)

composite @ #5053: The villains line was easy enough. Sesame Street was all over the place with Its a wonderful life and the hidden tv cable thing was plain evil! Very amusing grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5033: Bit cruel from Richard. Keep up the good work Kenny! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5052: It's sometimes difficult to cover all answer bases, but fruit and school should really be stand-alone accepted answers? Well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

composite @ #5048: Very clever! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Good godd @ #5052: (9 years, 4 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5020: Fun but very doable, thanks (9 years, 4 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #5022: Fun grid, thanks (9 years, 4 months ago)

No ham @ #5033: Of course Richard Ham means 'Yours sincerely'. (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #5048: Parallel Lines threw me so wasted time on that one, but brilliant crossovers. Excellent grid AGAIN! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5042: horse, tree and bird weren't accepted as answers, but a good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #14: Agree about "synonyms," as that's what I wrote, of course. : ) (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #12: It rejected "markets" for what turned out to be Supermarkets. Still having fun. Thanks. (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #11: I entered ".coms" for the Amazon one, but still love these. Can dream of being good enough to be on the show (with a good team, of course) (9 years, 4 months ago)

LaDoLaLiTi @ #3: Oh how I love Only Connect, and I always wanted to do a wall. Now I have. Thanks so much, whoever wrote these. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Zed @ #5029: Good mix of clues (9 years, 4 months ago)

Carlos @ #5033: Not bad at all. At least not a load of footballers names (9 years, 4 months ago)

Found @ #5044: this quite amusing. But you sir, owe me three minutes of my life. Please pay, by using your imagination to come up with a real submission. Yours, everyone who attempted this one. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Hell @ #5012: Don't centre it around yourself and your life (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #5041: "thinks you can call Alan" is probably my favourite answer on this website (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #5040: too easy for me. ps Kenny Lynch (9 years, 4 months ago)

Jonesy @ #5044: Clever (9 years, 4 months ago)

basil @ #5040: Interesting. Not my usual type but I like it. More please (9 years, 4 months ago)

Joffrey @ #5041: Not bad. Took me a while to get the chess players but the children of incest were quite easy. Well done (9 years, 4 months ago)

KENNY "THE ^$(&" LYNCH @ #5040: MIKE HAWK IS COOOOOOL RICHARD HAM IS COOOOOOOL DDOS (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5038: Cripes! Hi, Razmus. I am high and my wife solved it. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Richard Ham @ #5033: Hello Kenny. I stumbled upon this grid and I have to say please, never ever ever ever make a grid again. This is so bad, my son fell off of his bed and he wasn't even on the bed. Yours faithfully, Richard Ham (9 years, 4 months ago)

Steven @ #5019: Richard, this is bad. But, KENNY LYNCH IS A %$$%$^& %&^$%$ &^$% $^%$ &%%$ %$ $%%$ ^ %^1 (9 years, 4 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #3824: You should rename this 'guess what I'm thinking'. (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #5032: A cracker! Hoomee presumably wants 30-second solvers with no great effort. George and Rosemary couldn't possibly be on the same line, but were! Excellent (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #5038: btw. this grid displays a great variety of thought and at first sight is impossible but once you get the sitcoms and blood links....oh ok. it's still impossible! (9 years, 4 months ago)

sigh @ #5031: very easy grid, and gave us a very good laugh. Thanks! (9 years, 4 months ago)

sigh @ #5039: One of the best grids we've played however our answers, while all correct were not accepted. (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #5032: I'm not a fan of downer comments and shall now make a point of looking up some hoomee grids to check out their quality. good grid again ramuz. very inventive (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #5038: I saw a comment on one ramuz grid that said that his/hers weren't enjoyable. I would rather my brain was tested than have simple 4 by 4 groups that are obvious. Perhaps the more negative gridees should show us all how it's done???!!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5033: I doubt Ja Rule has ever found himself part of that band ever before. Great fun, good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5034: Very good, but I can't help thinking that you've gone easy on us with this one! (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #5038: Chess pieces very inspired. But such random stuff that I only managed sitcoms once they lined up at the end. Excellent grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5037: Good one. I was left with Disney as my last line so achieved by default. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #1022: Does Barnaby ever write any grids, or just moan about other people's??! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #1022: Does Barnaby ever write any grids, or just moan about other people's??! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Lilly @ #4033: That was hard. I could have kicked myself when I saw the answers though. Got to try harder. (9 years, 4 months ago)

melanie @ #5016: If only I'd had that game on my Sinclair ZX (9 years, 4 months ago)

Mister E @ #5013: At least I got the pocket connection, what's SKYRIM!!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

debzz @ #5029: Nice and easy. Ta. (9 years, 4 months ago)

hoomee @ #5032: Your grids are never fun; always wonder how many reference books you have open!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

hoomee @ #5033: OK. Easy really. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Lilly @ #4033: That was hard. I could have kicked myself when I saw the answers though. Got to try harder. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #1858: Hard but about shapes. Kids will lean like me . I leant to! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #1864: A kid can't do it do a kid easy one no idea to do it. So ANNOIED at you If I had some powers I could beat you up. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #1924: Why was meat,fruits,vegtebles and dairy producs apcepted? The first bit was easy but I was suppost to have 10/10 not 4/10. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #2026: Quite easy game whith Harry potter titles.I read Harry potter and the philosiphlosifos stone so good . Fantastic puzzle good work ! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Amy @ #2026: Quite easy game whith Harry potter titles.I read Harry potter and the philosiphlosifos stone so good . Fantastic puzzle good work ! (9 years, 4 months ago)

apropos @ #5033: Neat grid. Impressive. (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #5032: Superb quality that I couldn't get. Goulds, Clooneys and Bradley Cooper a swimmer and not an actor. Educational! (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #5022: ok (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5029: Keys or quays. Different. Good one. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #5021: Paper Towns is a film and book.good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

EdnaWelthorpe @ #4182: Tenuous links and questionable clues. (9 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #5020: excelente (9 years, 4 months ago)

Cinnamon @ #5016: V v v difficult this one. Didn't even understand after looking at the solution!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #5021: Not sure what Paper Towns are? Is this something American? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #5020: An easier one from good old Ramuz - but this is the kind of grid I like!! Cheers (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #5005: Only one crossover I could find... I don't really care for really wide categories i.e they are all singers, or all actors etc - I think it needs to have a more narrow remit (re: the link using Carr) (9 years, 4 months ago)

Pitchfork @ #4961: That's better - a great grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4988: No crossovers, accepted answers poor. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #5019: Utter bollocks Richard - please no more grids Everyone else - do not waste your time and play this awful grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Pitchfork @ #4983: If ever there were a grid that reeks of trying too hard, this is it. It's just a selection of looked up links that is trying to be clever and failing. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4977: This was a harder one (for me) - didn't get the people links... but still no tricky crossovers! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4976: ok - but again no crossovers!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Enough is enough @ #5019: Put your hands up and back slowly away from the keyboard, your complete and utter retard. Playtime is now hopefully over for you and your bunch of imaginary mates that would actually speak like this or know what any of these forking stupid clues mean. But don't take it too personally. I could have written this on the vast majority of the last few hundred submissions, and would feel the same about them. Thank you for your instant obedience. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4975: ok but no real crossovers to test you (9 years, 4 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #5005: Good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #5020: Ramuz back with a quality grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #5020: Good quality. And nothing in your pockets!!??? (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4976: Good one. Perhaps because it was easier than your usuals Chris! (9 years, 4 months ago)

String Ricky @ #4988: Good groups, but lacking in alternative options. Didn't accept "halogen", "Coren" or "Disney" Accordingly I only scored 4. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4960: It gave me a point for leaving the "L" line blank! Good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #5005: Agree with Ian. Well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

j random user @ #4974: Nice grid with good overlap and red herrings, but let down by answer recognition. How can "bridge" not be correct for a set of bridges? (9 years, 4 months ago)

j random user @ #4977: Not too difficult to sort out the groups, but the answer recognition was terrible. Captain - incorrect. Island - incorrect. What do you have to put to get a correct answer? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #1006: Didn't accept 'scouts' for me either! (9 years, 4 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4899: In the words of Comic Book Guy: "Worst. Grid. Ever." (9 years, 4 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4892: This grid demonstrates how inadvisable it is to set bi-lingual grids unless you speak both languages fluently. I'm not sure whether Anaconda is a French speaker with awful spelling or an English speaker with awful French and even worse English grammar. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ChrisN @ #4978: Just want to point out - though no excuse - I only have the use of one hand at the moment due to an injury so sorry about spelling/typos. Not sure why hat didn't work though sorry. (9 years, 4 months ago)

sigh @ #50: Wikipedia says: The May 15, 1843 issue of the official Mormon periodical Times and Seasons contains an article, purportedly written by Joseph Smith, Jr., deriving the etymology of the name "Mormon" from English "more" + Egyptian mon, "good". (9 years, 4 months ago)

Carly @ #4369: Liked the themed links (9 years, 4 months ago)

Carly @ #4978: I agree about no man's land. As a keen tennis player it is not an official area of a tennis court (9 years, 4 months ago)

enduser @ #4978: (Spoilers) I typed hat for the head wear and was told it was wrong. (?) Also, it's spelled ARTILLERY. (9 years, 4 months ago)

melanie @ #4978: We like your walls ChrisN (9 years, 4 months ago)

CJ @ #4257: To be honest, I think that Victoria Coren Mitchell would accept capital cities for the top one. Apart from that, nice, easy wall :) (9 years, 4 months ago)

ChrisN @ #4978: NoMansLand is a widely used term listed on many tennis sites where the layouts of courts are shown so I am sorry but the term is applicable. (9 years, 4 months ago)

jf @ #4978: learn to spell no mans land is not part of a tennis court - it's merely a descriptive term that might be used in commentary sloppy - I bet you are american (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #2056: Good crossovers & red herrings! (9 years, 4 months ago)

RowG57 @ #4958: You have a problem with your answer recognition! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Tremel @ #4931: Hopefully this was done by a 5 year old Don't bother playing it - you will waste 8 seconds of your life (9 years, 4 months ago)

polly @ #4931: Omg! Meet? I made all the links and it told me I had 3 wrong! Learn to spell! (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #2058: my only gripe is that it didn't accept 'outer casing' for the shell etc. group, which seems a valid way of stating the link. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Squiggle @ #2063: Bit miffed it didn't accept 'delighted' rather than 'happy'. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #2067: OK apart from the 'Flatliners' link which assumes you are familiar with it- afraid I've never heard of it! (9 years, 4 months ago)

squamous @ #4962: Aw, thank you! (9 years, 4 months ago)

4 x 4 @ #4962: Thought this was a great grid. Well thought out with plenty of red herrings. Best one in a long while. Saw three connections (missed hickory one), but still couldn't solve it in the time. More like this please (9 years, 4 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4962: This is superb! I was getting fed up with constant word grids but this one is just perfect. Excellent work. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #2080: Agree with Di. I said 'TV gardeners' not thinking gender relevant. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4958: Terrible! I gave the correct links but all were scored as incorrect. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4956: Why is so stupid?bit harsh! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Moron @ #4956: what a stupid grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

Ian @ #1827: As all the listed are ice lollies, why won't it accept this answer? (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #1871: very 'niche'. Fine if you are studying Film, but hopeless for others. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Annie @ #4961: Tricky-- knew one connection was 'fire' but failed to find the correct words; thought the other one was 'over'. A puzzling puzzle--v.good! (9 years, 4 months ago)

myriad @ #4890: complete nonsense and childish (9 years, 4 months ago)

squaggle @ #4244: Not very good. Football teams were just too different from the other words. Maybe only 2 crossovers in the whole grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

squaggle @ #4961: This is a very good grid indeed!! Loved it - well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

squaggle @ #4958: Terrible link verifications really lets down a quite poor grid. The anagram link is poor. (9 years, 4 months ago)

polly @ #4253: Enjoyed this, not to hard (9 years, 4 months ago)

polly @ #4023: Only one connection made:-( (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #2432: Tricky but enjoyed it. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ian @ #2493: Agree with Mary...a very obscure category- nouns don't have opposites. If 'bolt' is a verb, you can have 'unbolt'. Just doesn't work, but other categories OK. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #2494: Certainly not rubbish! I didn't get the eponyms either, but thought other categories excellent. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #2518: Nice grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Catriona @ #2527: Agree the answers are pedantic- knew the words from literature and the dogs ones, but my way of explaining not accepted...frustrating! (9 years, 4 months ago)

polly @ #3469: Good grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #2787: Are solutions case sensitive? I put 'danger' and was rejected. Frustrating! (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #2809: A bit confusing...I selected Normandy beaches several times but not allowed, also the goddesses. Repeated words can be good red herring, but only if they work properly!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

catriona @ #2810: Nice intelligent grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #4956: Laptops not a good category as those companies also make other computer hardware. Should also allow 'cosmetics' as well as 'make up'. (9 years, 4 months ago)

squiggle @ #4955: wording of links poor. Didn't allow 'breakfast' or 'Italian food' although clearly correct. Fast food category ambiguous too. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4899: I don't know who jenny is either .maybe bomdiggity will tell us.please! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4901: Scout line didn't accept "scout" and the clothing line didn't accept designer. However the Mockingbird red herrings were very good! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4903: One line I got, but - no offence - once I'd come up with Othello I would've been tempted to throw in Chess, then perhaps Cats and eventually not having any room left for any more Shakespeare other than four OTHER characters from Othello. (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #4904: HMMM! Not sure that the format of this one is the point of the game. In fact yes I AM sure it's not. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4899: Thanks for submitting a grid, I think with some practise you could get quite good but there's a lot of work needed to get up to the standards of some of the submitters on here. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4901: Quite good,, but it would have been better to have another word other than scout on the grid maybe. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4889: I thought it was OK. Easy enough to follow even if slightly awry. Have another go Coressony! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4899: Cripes, I've had the "tenuous links" line thrown at me but this grid is very vague! London, America, Paris then Westfield! Watch out for Kenny's comment Bombdiggity. It could be negative to the power of 10-uous! (9 years, 4 months ago)

polly @ #1894: Stupid (9 years, 4 months ago)

catriona @ #4892: Agree with HughHugh. Let down by elementary errors. (9 years, 4 months ago)

catriona @ #4890: Some odd links- 'gate' is not strictly transport as it means 'station' and the others are means of transport. Surely the clothes group should allow 'clothes' rather than the odd 'what you put on your body'? (9 years, 4 months ago)

catriona @ #4889: Oddball you are correct. Solutions for two rows of adjectives very poor-should allow 'adjectives for appearance/amazing' and 'adjectives for size/size words'. I like the idea of French grid, but not well executed I'm afraid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4892: Maybe it was dernier,meaning last? (9 years, 4 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4892: Some good ideas and nice to see a French grid, but lots of errors let it down. Heir and l'anne prochain are spelled wrong (hier, l'anne prochaine). I don't know what denier is supposed to be (demain maybe? Dnier, with accented e, means 'to deny' but that doesn't fit the line). The connection in the animaux line isn't strong enough in my mind.

catriona @ #3189: Good red herrings! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4873: Shows a lot of knowledge. Which I didn't have! Well done! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4873: knew there was a dads of musicians in there but had ozzy in my various guesses. also knew I knew McManus and Panayiotou but couldn't place them in my head. and knew Peter Hernandez when the link came up. never seen hillybillies and the black bands went over my head. a challenging one and a 1/10 score! (9 years, 4 months ago)

cakeface @ #4873: Very good grid. The BHBs started me well and then the real names fell into place. Couldn't think of the other two connections, but a good 3 minutes guessing! (9 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1396: A wall's difficulty is set by votes after a short period of time so there's no point in complaining to the setter anyhow. (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4872: very good grid. should've got this done in the time but Larkin and Shipman had me looking for birds and sailing vessels! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4859: whoops (9 years, 4 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4872: lol zero! Wasn't thinking laterally enough. Nicely done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4867: Very good. (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4872: Brilliant. Easy really, but also easy to get lost in this one. Well done! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4858: Starting to suss you out now Oli. Good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4860: Good grid. My first thought was Bendy Bully which also fits with School! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4862: Very good. Common birds...I've known a few. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4863: Excellent! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4866: Good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4867: All are purple! I did get it but not by connection...more by luck. Good one LH. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #546: Very clever, the french clues were particularly difficult and frustrating. Well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

sigh @ #2176: good grid. made all the connections and if I took longer I would have gotten the cars. Well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

sigh @ #2237: Good wall. A point to note for other folks commenting on the US spelling of words vs UK spelling - The board is marked as US. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #3469: grid squad.,it's the cherry,plum line. (9 years, 4 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #3469: Who's tomoto? (9 years, 4 months ago)

String Ricky @ #4862: Nice one Jon. Spent whole thing missing Godwin, and only saw the here/dart etc once the wall was resolved: though a satisfying 10 for this one. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4859: Thanks Oli,and for explaining apostrophe.but woops should be whoops.lol! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4859: malteser is a mistake. woops. apostrophe is a speech made to an imaginary or invisible character. its like a conversation where you only hear one voice in the conversation. (i think) (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4859: And it may be my ignorance but I don't understand apostrophe reference. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #1396: I think this is medium..or hard.think you must have had inspired guesses,TF. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #2110: Charley horse is US term for leg cramps,I think,but that may not help. (9 years, 4 months ago)

TF @ #1396: Good red herrings, but honestly I think it is not medium difficulty. It's easy enough to guess through the chess red herrings and get rid of those at the beginning. Overall, a very enjoyable wall. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Tom @ #2110: I have only heard of one of those Charlies, to be honest, if they are all characters. I'm familiar with charlie horses, but not a character named Charlie Horse. Otherwise, really good red herrings and good categories. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4859: Malteser or malteaser?is that pedantic?but good grid. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4832: Poor sitcoms link... (9 years, 4 months ago)

Elite @ #3775: Are they bollocks anagrams!!! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4843: annoying orange ffs??? still a good grid tho' (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4834: :-( (9 years, 4 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4842: not one of my favourite Ramuz grids but still better than a lot out there! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4856: Gosh,you've done it again! How do you do it? Good grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4854: Too tricky by half. Didn't get any of them! Good grid....we'll all know how your mind works very soon. (9 years, 4 months ago)

E @ #3450: Shit grid (9 years, 4 months ago)

Pedant @ #3442: They're not root vegetables, merely roots. I put in tuber, which I believe is also correct, and was rejected. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4850: I was looking for therapy! Good one. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramus93 @ #4851: Good one...the bisto stool stuck out like a sore thumb so finding the other furniture items became easier. And I stupidly put snooker for the Olympic rings. A gold ball in snooker! Hmmm (9 years, 4 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4852: Excellent grid, couldn't find any of the groups but got them all once the wall was revealed which is how it should be! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4852: Splitting words is a good one. Good grid! (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4853: 2 seconds to spare. Great grid AJ! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Thomas @ #4069: Well made, good red herrings. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Thomas @ #4308: Just an interesting note, the first group has almost another thing in common in that three end in the sounds of letters of the alphabet (O in go, X in hex, and S in Chess). Just pure luck that I put hive with those because it has the closest to an I sound. Good wall overall, well done. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Carlo @ #4835: All my simple solutions were correct but none accepted - even 'battle of' .... (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4848: woops. that should have been first rather than fruit. sorry to everyone who gets annoyed by this. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4848: Fruit fruit?i don't understand. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4849: Would love to be inside your very creative head,Oli! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4845: You do come up with some surprises!thanks... (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4828: the millionaire one is fairly niche but the others were good. i'm disappointed in myself I didn't see the desmonds one. I even looked at desmond and thought i should do a grid connected to desmonds! (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4843: I wouldn't recommend you tube's annoying orange. Exactly what it says on the tin. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4843: hadn't heard of annoying orange before, but enjoyed this none the less (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4838: cbeebies new version of peter rabbit is a favourite in my house. maybe its more obscure to others. anyone named jemima reminds me of jemima puddle-duck too. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Farty @ #1960: It's Matt Monro, no E. (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4830: good grid....not the hardest ever but enjoyable (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4834: ibis, teal, rail, wren (9 years, 4 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4843: very good (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4838: Beatrix Potter characters!....You're tapping the hornets' nest now Oli! (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4839: It had me going through dartboards, bus numbers in Kettering and bingo/lotto. I'd still never have got it however. (9 years, 4 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4842: Black Man Ray.....whatever happened to China Crisis?! Good grid, but are these the signs of Ramuz going soft on us? (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4839: A single line for no connections that adds up to 45 which is the RPM of a single. I found the connection! (9 years, 4 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4839: I wrote this - to be honest, I hated it so put it under a pseudonym. I was disappointed I couldn't come up with a proper grid using 1-16. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4839: Not sure about no connection line. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4834: I might be being really dense here but what are the hidden bird names. I had seen wren and wondered if that was going to be one of the connections. (9 years, 4 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4837: Good quality. Like the biblical line, but didn't get it. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4835: was the tiger connection a deliberate red herring or did I just chase the a connection that wasn't there? Leicester Tigers rugby club, hull city tigers football club, red tiger lotus and yellow tiger butterfly? (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oli @ #4838: Unfortunately, I misspelled martyr. sorry if that caused any confusion to anyone. (9 years, 4 months ago)

Oddball @ #4838: Another puzzgrid wonder wall! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4815: It was meant as one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #4815: oddball, thanks very much. I'm taking it as a compliment. Mrs T, Jacket potato is my favourite clue I've written. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #2665: So what if a pony is quite big, I knew what you meant and the grid worked out fine. Nice and Easy (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #2723: Easy but slick grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #2769: Decent effort. Easy is the right rating but it is not a bad grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #2917: Good grid - Red herrings are a rare treat in Easy Grids (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #2921: Nice grid, easy but fun (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #3048: Good Wall - Nice and Easy (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #3361: Well done Nat - A puzz that makes you smile too! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jethro @ #3588: 10/10 so can't complain (9 years, 5 months ago)

String Rich @ #4829: Agreed, Ramuz. Lack of convenient way to edit is not ideal. I'm fast finding that - with no real leader board or scoring system to speak of - we're being more and more forgiving of acceptable answers that miss the filter. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4829: Again being lazy but it should accept "state". Good grid, well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4836: Got me on the pronunciation of "polish". I dare say that was the intended trick! Well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4835: Perhaps I shouldn't be lazy, but "bridge" and "river" weren't accepted. Good grid though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4836: Good one. Not hard, but enjoyable. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4835: Grid is fine but two of my correct answers weren't allowed so please check what you put in in future. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #4830: Very easy. Not one of your more challenging ones! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4828: Very good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4806: Miliband isn't a party leader any more so couldn't put him in ;) (9 years, 5 months ago)

cakeface @ #4834: Using "false trail" as a false trail is inspired, if not slightly tongue in cheek?! Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

cakeface @ #4831: Very good. Ramuz does some really quite humorous grids. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4830: I breezed through this one, but I think I am on to your line of thinking now Ramuz. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4809: Hmm, should have done, I might have just put periodicals in though for which I apologise. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4828: They are correct answers to the 1m question on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4832: I fell for it Ramuz. I put pile in the creams. DOH! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4831: moore was, sorry. but I was starting to think that the 66 world cup team had somebody called hedges in there. and banks could easily have been a countryside thing. barmy! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4831: moore, hurst and stiles NOT in the WC side. Pure genious. (9 years, 5 months ago)

cakeface @ #4830: Simply dismiss the obvious, go for four totally unconnected ones. Put your head in your hands and wait for the time to run out. Is this person running this country by any chance? (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4827: Excellent! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4791: I lied about the Christian bit. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4830: Only nearly?great grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4794: The Friends crossover, that wasn't, is good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4830: Mare, Pen and Staple all transferable. Very good red herrings. I nearly always run out of time with the ramuz grids! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4806: I thought you may have substituted the name Miliband with Cock just as a wind-up! Good one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4809: Good one. The hello, esquire line didn't accept magazine.....or am I misleading myself? (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4825: a good grid. but it's too early in the morning for me to get the butter, dragon, horse, house link. what's that alec? (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4828: What's the Billy Wells link? The horse and hat links were relatively straightforward but I'm stumped by that line??? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4828: Not sure I'm too happy with this one - let me know what you think.... (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #4827: Good grid. Took a while to notice the metals. Knew Narnia in there somewhere, but good red herrings! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Robin and Tilly @ #4822: I enjoyed this (9 years, 5 months ago)

deliasmith @ #4820: Weak. Hard is not the same as good, and some of th connections were far-fetched (9 years, 5 months ago)

Tilly @ #4824: Great (9 years, 5 months ago)

Robin @ #4821: I enjoyed this grid. Thanks Daddy (9 years, 5 months ago)

KitMit @ #4777: A rocket is common term for a certain sort of vehicle. See a 'space rocket' for an example. It was a good grid and there's no reason to be snide and negative about it. Thanks for taking the time to create it Hgp Weekend; I, for one, enjoyed it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JonW @ #4426: (Slight spoiler) I typed in the UK County, letter for letter, and it said I was wrong! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JonW @ #4802: Yes, I put in two correct answers and it said I was wrong. Also 'Sir Charles' should be 'Lord Charles'. (9 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #4075: Vanilla chocolate is a kind of chocolate? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mrs T @ #4815: Jacket potato - oh come on !!!!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #4561: Venus & Milky Way are names, nebula and star are types of objects. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4815: Oli,you are master or mistress of the obscure! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Ady @ #1662: Too US centric (9 years, 5 months ago)

Nicolas Cage @ #4808: His name is spelled Nicolas Cage. Bruch should be Brush. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4808: The nicholas cage line is innovatory? (9 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #186: Excellent! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #4799: The irony is that this was my attempt at doing a less obscure grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

mevalin @ #4791: 'Bloody' Sunday isn't in my Christian calendar! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4799: Me neither,very obscure! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4803: Very good grid although I think Liver was quite a stretch for that connection. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4799: Bit too tough for me this one, didn't score anything. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4773: Fun! Liked the gin/port bridge/bow crossover, good one Jon. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4802: Nice grid - for your next one check what you've put in the answers as it didn't accept two of my correct ones. Thanks (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4790: Really enjoyed that,tnx! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4774: Alsoran - I did it as I wanted an unusual group and needed to use cat. I could have put pets in but surely that's far lazier? It takes a LOT of effort to put these grids together and I'd prefer only positive feedback or something constructive. Calling me lazy isn't constructive and if you've ever watched Only Connect you'll see these types of connections all the time. (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #4794: Quite easy! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Legal Eagle @ #4790: Excellent grid, not too hard but very satisfying when the penny drops! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4794: Not fiendishly difficult unless you get lost in the Friends red herring. Good grid though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4791: I liked that one. Of mice and men was rubbish wasn't it? All of a sudden, nothing happened! How it gets into that Top 100 Novels EVER is beyond me. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4791: Whit, nice one! And mud not a hut. Sticking in "Jabba The" could have really riled our more pedantic Gridees, but would have been fun to read the 200 angry comments! Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Hogwash @ #4784: Knowing the Hart To Hart dog is something I'd forgotten I knew, embarrassingly! Then matching that to Wellard it started to become apparent. Dickens came up with some mad names. Very good grid, I agree with Jon. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4786: Yes, not too difficult but a good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mr Noisy @ #4780: Good grid, not many people remember me (9 years, 5 months ago)

hedgehog @ #4778: The A610 is my favourite road (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #4779: Clever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #4778: Easy apart from A road connection. Roads did cross my mind, but couldn't quite make the link. Enjoyed it (9 years, 5 months ago)

alsoran @ #4774: Not sure that adding a letter, removing a letter etc is in the spirit of the game. Too facile, and becoming popular with the lazies. (9 years, 5 months ago)

mememe @ #4777: So you think a rocket is a vehicle? Mmmm. Like an engine is? Not good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

dierdre @ #4780: Mr Men? Toys? Harry Potter? How old are you? (9 years, 5 months ago)

dierdre @ #4783: If they are initials, what does OK stand for? Which 2 words? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4784: Cunning - lots of devious crossovers! very clever - back on form Ramuz! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4786: Nice grid - not too tricky (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4786: definitely doable especially once you've got the apple line. had to look up Boleyn ground....that was sneaky! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4784: Cannot fault this - Best grid I've seen on here (and that includes mine)! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4784: Ramuz you are too clever by half! (9 years, 5 months ago)

cakeface @ #4784: Marley not in with the dogs, Freeway not with roads, Autobahn not with Kraftwerk. Genius! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4784: Excellent! Crossovers were pure brilliance. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4783: 2for me,,a great grid,thankyou. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4784: Superb red herrings. I shan't say what I disappeared up! (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4783: Very tricky. Gettable but sneaky! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4783: Really really tough but great grid! I scored 3! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #3796: Good grid. Crossovers hampered me for a bit. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oli @ #4776: thanks very much. It has been a while since I'd done one, so probably harder than it should be. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4783: Typo, sorry! Sfiff should - of course - be "skiff" (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4777: The hidden words line didn't accept "transport", but a good grid nonetheless. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4778: Is the number connection A Roads in the midlands? (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4779: Very good! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4776: Gosh,very hard for me! But good grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Gizmo @ #4326: Is Firefox a search engine? Not a browser? Otherwise good stating grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Gizmo @ #4327: Easy as an intro. It's not supposed to challenge experts. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4779: Your best one yet (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4778: The number connection might be a bit too niche. Very tough grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4777: Pretty good grid - liked that one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

String Richard @ #4774: Thought this one your sneakiest yet. And yet is my first ten-pointer. Nice one again, Jon. (9 years, 5 months ago)

String Richard @ #4773: Nice one Jon. Thanks for clearing up the synonymous error on the Poop clue: saved me a rant! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4747: A neat grid with plenty of crossover! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4750: Nice simple grid with some good red herrings. I hoped the silverq was a typo and it was! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4766: Nice one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

cakeface @ #4772: good quality and not obvious (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4773: Apologies to anyone who gets the connection involving Poop wrong despite putting a valid answer. I accidentally missed out a vital word for the connection (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4768: Soon you'll be doing really straightforward grids that are so easy they'll be hard! Good standard. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4772: I double-guessed that the after eight would not be referring to mints. WRONG! Good grid though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4773: Trickier and trickier. Nice one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4774: Great! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4772: Excellent grid, really struggled with this one though - couldn't find the balls haha (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4720: v good! (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4772: quality. athenian and ramus are setting the bar higher every day! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4770: Perfect! Isn't this grid the sole/soul/seoul reason puzzgrid was invented?!!! Genius. Well done Jon! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #3685: Very frustrating pedantic answers. In British English it should be 'railway station' not 'train station' but should allow both. Agree station is Liverpool Street, not just Liverpool. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4770: Oh so clever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Amber @ #4757: Ridiculously hard. And I'm not just saying that because I scored so badly. A good wall, though. Well worthy of a final. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4749: I see you are right HughHugh,,the oxford concise dict gives felafel,my apologies!a good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4749: Oddball - falafel is the usual spelling but felafel is an accepted variant. I thought the odd spelling may help work out the row. (9 years, 5 months ago)

composite @ #4736: quite sneaky but not quite enough. good however. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4768: You have a lot of fun ideas ramuz,Thankyou. (9 years, 5 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #3297: One of the worst grids of all time. (9 years, 5 months ago)

jono @ #2814: dairy box twice ? bit dumb if ya ask me !! (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4750: the silverq threw me at first but a good grid nonetheless. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4768: Get it ramuz! Talbot being an extinct dog breed, trying to confuse with Aston and Villa. Then Case in the grid and the different cases. Ingenious but not terribly hard. (9 years, 5 months ago)

composite @ #4766: Very good. Lee, Conteh and Coburn were good red herrings! (9 years, 5 months ago)

botheration @ #4611: Tricky. Very enjoyable with those red herrings. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4636: Very hard, but enjoyable. The Rutles was a good film, can you still get that on DVD? (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4766: Once I saw Angus Lennie I was pretty sure none of the others were in Crossroads, so it had to be the Great Escape! Good crossovers. The Band on the Run album cover was a good idea. Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4736: Yes, Reading and Slough. Very good! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4741: Yes sweetie. Bit basic that "body" should have been a trigger answer but it's not always easy to cover every little thing. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4747: Knowing U2 tracks is embarrassing. Could be worse though.... could be Phil Collins! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4748: Good quality. Not apparent straight away. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4749: Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4750: Good one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4750: Lovely grid! They don't all need to be cripplingly esoteric, I like it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4757: I know, I was just a bit bored this morning and wondered if it was possible to do a grid consisting of just the first 16 letters. Nearly managed it! (9 years, 5 months ago)

willow @ #3763: Challenging but fun (9 years, 5 months ago)

meme @ #4757: So many groupings!!Mirror symmetry, fricatives, etc. not unique. (9 years, 5 months ago)

sovra @ #3946: Agree answers need to be broader. I said 'canal' which completes the name of all the canals referred to, so surely should be correct?! Mystified by red Clifford ands Po as well. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #3951: Nice one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4757: Gee is a bit of a stretch,but good grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #3972: Solutions too picky. Also next in line to throne now out of date! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #4748: I enjoyed this grid, thanks (9 years, 5 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #4749: Nice grid, thanks :) (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4750: Some nice red herrings here but once you've nailed the sugars the grid slots into place. (9 years, 5 months ago)

robincac @ #4282: forgot i had done this already! enjoyable, america is not a country though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #2748: good (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #2093: Clever (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #3361: good (9 years, 5 months ago)

j random user @ #2230: Very little overlap or red herrings. The Australian group is just stupid, and the connection recognition was poor (9 years, 5 months ago)

meme @ #4749: nice; very easy, ta. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4744: Impressive display of knowledge,very obscure in parts,I think. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mario @ #4750: Enjoyed the grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

RogerE @ #4750: Still a good grid, despite the typo. (9 years, 5 months ago)

RogerE @ #4747: Nice grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Andysp @ #4750: Whoops, should say 'silver', not 'silverq'... sorry (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4749: I liked this HughHugh,,but! I hate to say that I think it is falafel. (9 years, 5 months ago)

coincidental @ #4741: the a of c group is also words that can have two different spellings. fantastic grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shush @ #13: String Instruments is the same thing as stringed (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mr. Monopoly @ #184: I liked that you put monopoly!!!! I may make a grid with a monopoly group!!!!!!!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

haha u dont need to know :) @ #4733: It was good. I liked the buzz answer and the Microsoft red herring. (9 years, 5 months ago)

sweetie :) @ #4741: The answer 'body parts' did not work (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4739: I didn't know these names or series,ignoramus me! (9 years, 5 months ago)

BogBrush @ #4734: Got caught up looking for Microsoft Office products, which were good red herrings. Unfortunate that the two 'excels' do ruin the grid though :( (9 years, 5 months ago)

BogBrush @ #4736: A very nice grid, if a little easy. Still, it's not often I get 10/10 so it's cheered me up today! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4738: Some original ideas! I struck lucky with one line... Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4736: Nice grid but once you've sorted out the Family Guy characters it's pretty simple. If you don't know them it's probably a very tough grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

botheration @ #4736: Reading and Slough, excellent! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4718: Only one Mark E that I know of so the Smiths line fell into place, but the Frasier - as opposed to FraZier - was a good red herring. Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4736: Quality crossovers, really good grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

squamous @ #4734: Sorry - I pressed something by mistake and managed to submit this twice and to leave Excel in there twice - please read one Excel as Exchange! (9 years, 5 months ago)

squamous @ #4733: Sorry - I pressed something by mistake and managed to submit this twice and to leave Excel in there twice - please read one Excel as Exchange! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Derek @ #4726: Quasar is mispelled, other clues are very obscure for me. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4683: Echoing the previous comments. Can't have two bases. Plus all words one. Slightly disappointing :( (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4688: Very tough one that. Excellent grid. Solveable but very challenging. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4690: Very good grid. my last two were the chocolate and rolls and was just too much overlap to work it out. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4702: Well if you love African geography it's a great quiz. Otherwise it kinda sucks! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shush @ #2779: Answer parameters too narrow (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4707: Well constructed grid but rather easy. Needs some more red herrings. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4711: Good stuff, could not spot those berrys at all! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4718: Really struggled with this one - loved all the sporting Joe's (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4720: Enjoyed that, breezed through it in a minute but nice groups (9 years, 5 months ago)

Athenians Jon @ #4726: Good grid, solved it in 1 minute 30 but could have sat here all day and never got that hidden movie connections! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4726: It is a very difficult and varied grid,, and it completely did for me,, but if think it is good in quality. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4726: Not sure about that Kenny. Once I'd figured where I knew Mortal Soul from, that clicked. The hidden films was the trickiest, but throwing in anagrams as well added to my personal enjoyment of it. I thought it was very good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4518: Very good (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4525: Enjoyed this one. Quite Herringy. (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4668: That was really good. Had to look up "Flying" as being a Beatles track. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4726: Ramuz - I was your biggest fan, but this is taking the piss. Not your best grid - fat too tenuous - anagrams and hidden film titles! :-( (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4676: Impossible - got zero! but clever (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4726: Should've got the American Pie line. Anagrams and Madonna songs were quite straightforward but the films line was hard. Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4711: Great! (9 years, 5 months ago)

try @ #1396: Enough red herrings in the moon and chess to cause delightful annoyance (9 years, 5 months ago)

Bum Head @ #396: Arf. Small handed, big hearted! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4724: Two lines are quite easy though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #4724: I think that's the point, and why it is a challenge! Pretty good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

plankton @ #4718: Excellent (9 years, 5 months ago)

shush @ #4678: HughHugh - murder isn't one of the 7 deadly sins Horrible answer recognition only accepted one answer even though all 4 matched! (9 years, 5 months ago)

shumone @ #3789: Acceptable answers needs to be broader. Also nice attempt at red herrings but pretty easy to work around (9 years, 5 months ago)

bloh @ #4683: Two bases is plain iritating (9 years, 5 months ago)

ahhh @ #4671: Pool was obvious at the end. Countries doable but far out. The other two just kinda dumb (9 years, 5 months ago)

shhh @ #4724: They are all music based which makes it overly complicated (9 years, 5 months ago)

shumo @ #546: Very good. Rated too hard I think. Only one connection escaped me (9 years, 5 months ago)

Sumone @ #138: So many potential catagories that aren't and so many red herrings. Utterly mindboggling (9 years, 5 months ago)

sshumone @ #4690: Caught up by there also being four types of knife up there and missed he clues. Plus neve (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4694: Wow, tricky, but very enjoyable (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4690: What is Butcher Paradox? I've never heard of it... (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4682: Great! Well hidden groups. Liked it a lot. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4681: Liked it. Not lazy at all. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4678: Good ideas, but this one doesn't have a unique solution: murder and pride can be swapped and it still fits into 4x4. (Ie both are sins AND collective nouns) (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4676: Brilliant, impossible. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4623: I hate names in words links! always get me!! nice grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4635: French words not a great link really as the words they are French for are not really linked Not one of your best Ramuz! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4636: Totally stumped me - got one of the links but forgot belushi was in that film Very tricky! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4638: I am a big Ramuz fan! Another goodie (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4631: Great grid - right up my street! Ran out of guesses on some of the more obscure members of the glam bands (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4615: The football one is stretching the envelope somewhat.... (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4707: Never heard of Joel :-( or Briscoe Good grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4718: Very good grid - well done! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4720: quite a nice grid, yes! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4718: The bird names is inspired, although once you see Capt Jack and Sir Chris it falls into place. Still very good though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

theinquisition @ #4720: good, not immediately obvious (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cleops @ #4718: Good Quality and I got it with one second to spare! (9 years, 5 months ago)

boxgirder @ #4711: good grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

Dr. Preceded @ #3613: you don't know what preceded means (9 years, 5 months ago)

Dr. Preceded @ #3613: you don't know what preceded means (9 years, 5 months ago)

cakeface @ #4694: Clever but not silly clever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4707: Good one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4711: British Bulldog I guess. Good grid squamous! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Bulldog @ #4711: What is the bulldog game. (9 years, 5 months ago)

squamous @ #4682: I know - sorry! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Derek @ #4679: Y, G, R, C! Is it a clever code, or could you not be bothered to type the answers? (9 years, 5 months ago)

dreirdre @ #4681: Too many grids using "parts of words". Not clever, boring, lazy. (9 years, 5 months ago)

meme @ #4682: Yes, the directions are that all words should start with a capital letter. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #4707: Pretty easy! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #4702: But good for dredging O level geography facts from the back of the brain! Found it easy, but enjoyed it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #4694: Clever links. I enjoyed it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jack Railroad @ #3767: That one mad me feel dumb, well played (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4668: i didn't get the carpet one until 0.5 sec after losing my last life! Knowing the Beatles doesn't make it necessarily that much easier though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4669: Understood the link early on - it was just a case of matching each group Loved it - well done again - give us more, especially like the music ones! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4688: Sportsman link was slightly tenuous for my liking, but other than that a good grid again by razmuz! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4670: Good grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4677: Liked the Ikea one - though I missed it! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4702: Pretty tricky if your African geography is poor! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4694: Nice one - pretty easy but good! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jack Railroad @ #3538: The Clue red haring drove me nuts (9 years, 5 months ago)

Bum Head @ #299: Father Ted is one of the greatest comedy shows ever. You lose points for including American sitcoms though... (9 years, 5 months ago)

Get Bent @ #231: Worst grid ever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

pendulum @ #4690: well varied and interesting. good grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

oxymoron @ #4694: Quality. Well done! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Morris @ #179: I kept getting tuck because of Peter Stilton... (9 years, 5 months ago)

IanBrown @ #41: Presidents' wives incorrect??? (9 years, 5 months ago)

squamous @ #4682: Yeah it annoys me too when one group starts with lower case - sorry! I need an edit button. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mr A @ #4672: My problem is, all countries have various connections in various ways, so the grid could have gone any one of thousands of ways, and the fact that this is the one you intended it to be doesn't make it the only right answer. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mr A @ #4682: Yes, but it bothers me intensely when one group starts lower case, the rest upper case. I don't want giveaways. Also, it's an OK grid but the groups are a bit samey. (9 years, 5 months ago)

j random user @ #4590: Agree with previous comments, solution is not unique. Also the planets/gods group does not accept "planet" as correct (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #4681: (9 years, 5 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4688: Tough grid! Nice work, tricky if anglocentric references... (9 years, 5 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4683: Pity about two uses of Base (9 years, 5 months ago)

Spunkfish @ #4667: Two Olds is a bit careless One of the answers which includes old is too restrictive (9 years, 5 months ago)

pandatree @ #4669: Very negative comments from some negative people by the sound of it. I thought it was good ramus! (9 years, 5 months ago)

boaterhat @ #4667: Excellent! (9 years, 5 months ago)

brighteyes @ #4688: Killer, AKA Jerry Lee Lewis got stuck in my head for the nicknames and strawberry fields HAD to be a Beatles reference but wasn't. Threw me completely, very good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

brighteyes @ #4683: Very good. Not at all obvious. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4679: Mustard - Incorrect? Ales - Correct. Room - Correct. Openings in Chess - Correct. Ah well. Good board despite mix up with the answers. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4683: Good grid. Agree that the crossovers were slightly tricky (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #3894: Good one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4681: Clever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

gridder @ #4683: Sneaky crossovers and having the word "base" in there twice made it tricky. Good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4677: IKEA...classic! well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4678: Got them all but only collective nouns accepted as correct. Good one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4682: I had a bit of luck with this....I did the four that started lower case first then the rest all became apparent. Good one squamous! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4666: A Chinese fortune cookie of a grid: delightful at first, satisfying to crack open, but ultimately disappointing when it gives you an answer you weren't expecting. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4678: Lovely grid, but ruined by heinous answer recognition! Got all the links but was denied any points. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelagh @ #1396: clever (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #2661: good grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4679: Ah, yes,mememe ,Curtis forgot to enter the answers maybe...but the letters still puzzle me a little.a shame,because the ideas are good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #4624: good board Not too hard (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelaghl @ #4661: good wall (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cooky123 @ #4625: Very clever. Nice one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cooky123 @ #4623: Quality, I have to say I was beaten on a couple :) (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cooky123 @ #4647: A tough one. Well done. My answer 'from novels' was given as incorrect, though :( (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cooky123 @ #4659: Nice one, though I thought the towns were in Dorset. D'oh! (9 years, 5 months ago)

cooky123 @ #4661: I liked this one. Didn't have to work too hard to solve it thanks! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cooky123 @ #4679: Where are the answers? Put in mustard for one but came up incorrect. Don't know what one is so intrigued!!!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

mememe @ #4679: I think he forgot to put the answers in. The initials are the colours - I think; green cyan etc. (9 years, 5 months ago)

phdierdre @ #4680: I agree with fred. Anal, as usual. (9 years, 5 months ago)

fred @ #4680: not all words! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4680: Fiendishly clever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4679: Agree,,please explain the letter links,it's puzzling me so much! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #4679: What's with the answers Y and G? First one obviously should be mustard. Don't recognise the last line, but G doesn't explain anything! Please be clearer. Otherwise good links. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4678: 'accept',lol (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4678: It wouldn't 'Cape' and 'Sins' for me, but a nice fun grid, odesiw--thanks. (9 years, 5 months ago)

grumble @ #3916: Third line link not explained... it's still an apparently random list of names unless you happen to recognise them. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4678: should not be graded fiendish, the machine appears to have changed it from hard. Bring back the quill pen. (9 years, 5 months ago)

gurgle @ #4676: Very obscure and tenuous links. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ian @ #4678: I put deadly sins and it came up incorrect despite being in the description! (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4675: cheer up, Annie. I got one group and one year within the time limit and I AM old. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4677: good grid, thank you. I clearly need to go to an Ikea store at some time in the near future if I hope to get 10 out of 10. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4666: I will write them in the singular form in future and hopefully it will accept the plural form as well. Apologies again. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4676: nice one, thanks (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4676: Not sure about the broken connection,bit tenuous maybe. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4675: Got 2 groups and 2 years correct, feeling old now...:-( (9 years, 5 months ago)

j random user @ #4660: Another waste of time grid from ramuz93. Four sets with the same connection that completely misses the point of the only connect wall (9 years, 5 months ago)

mouse @ #4661: Good grid, a bit too easy though. Anagram wasn't accepted as an answer for the anagrams (9 years, 5 months ago)

mouse @ #4664: Nice not-too-hard grid a with few overlaps/red herrings (9 years, 5 months ago)

mouse @ #4666: Good grid with nice overlaps and red herrings, but it's impossible to get the connections marked correct. Didn't accept "synonym" for the synonyms, "chair" for the chairs, or "boat" for the boats. (9 years, 5 months ago)

j random user @ #4669: Another poor grid where the link was essentially the same for all four sets (9 years, 5 months ago)

j random user @ #4675: Rubbish. All four sets have the same link (happened in the same year) which was obvious from the outset. Completely misses the point of the original - no red herrings, no overlap. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4675: It was enough of a challenge to make it interesting for most of us. I was surprised how early Butlins opened for example. Fiendish is a grading of great difficulty not great quality. Nothing wrong with being accessible to lots of us. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4666: I see what you mean, mouse. Sorry. It only seems to accept it in the plural: synonyms. mea maxima culpa (9 years, 5 months ago)

Pitty @ #4669: Solution is not unique. I am older than you. You wasted my precious time. Get a job! (9 years, 5 months ago)

beanie @ #4672: Very contrived. So much so that you yourself cannot see that the solution is far from unique! Not enough space to explain, but I agree with others, don't use too many "off the wall " ideas. It's only a game! (9 years, 5 months ago)

pole @ #4030: impossible! (9 years, 5 months ago)

topcat @ #4046: top grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

cobbler @ #2024: shitty (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4672: I disagree about the three hours. Looking for hidden words is a big feature of this game so once you've got the first two lines it's a lot easier. The country name within another country is very good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4654: Good one, and the Guernica reference puzzled me for a minute. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4675: Agree with ramuz93. No opportunity for any crossovers so it was too obvious. Sorry! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4675: I think the years were a little too spread out to make it a tough one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4672: Ramuz,you have been very busy amusing us all ,Thankyou! (9 years, 5 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4672: Some posters seem to be unaware that grids must be solved in three minutes, rather than three hours. (9 years, 5 months ago)

zanzibar @ #4671: countries were pretty obvious and pool became apparent, but the other two lines were beyond me. if I go back to it tomorrow I still wouldn't get them! (9 years, 5 months ago)

zanzibar @ #4660: gawd! (9 years, 5 months ago)

googler @ #4672: Ingenious but way too hard (9 years, 5 months ago)

Strewth @ #4672: Very difficult but all became apparent apart from same letter capital line. That came much later. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4671: Come on! The pools and countries were gettable, but the start and end with B & Y is obscure to the power of whatever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #1942: Very good. So those super heroes aren't real???!!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #1708: The hidden animals is great. Enjoyed that one, well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Bored28 @ #4670: Good crossover with Adams, Hayes and Cleveland. Had to fiddle about with this one. Good quality. (9 years, 5 months ago)

BogBrush @ #4668: Nice easy grid, but enjoyable. Kicking myself I didn't get the 'Carpet' connection though! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4645: Boney M...excellent! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Bored28 @ #4636: totally impossible I got as far as McEnroe and macca being left handed but that was it! I had to look up the airports and can't believe john wayne has an airport named after him (9 years, 5 months ago)

NewbieTrudy @ #4654: Couldn't fit Guernica in there but apparently it is a chilli. Good Grid tho (9 years, 5 months ago)

DenzilTeebo @ #4669: Velvet threw me. Alannah Myles!!!! Whatever happened to her? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Gastric @ #4668: Very easy. Especially if you are familiar with the songs of The Beatles. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4582: Nice one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4659: "Under" not permitted on the songs line? And the thought of Southend Pier being the most expensive landmark in Essex kind of makes you wonder what else is on that board! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4667: New Lamps For Old was the red herring! V Good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

RAMUZ93 @ #4664: Very good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

mouse @ #4666: ok, but the synonyms did not accept synonym as an answer (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4659: I like it. A minor problem with the answer acceptance on the "under" category but it doesn't spoil an enjoyable grid. London, Paris, New York, Essex in the same grid as the Trotters is a great idea. Maybe one day we will have the Peckham version of Monopoly! (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4660: Thank you ramuz93. At last I can blame my failure on my wife. She can't stand Desert Island Discs so I never get to hear it! (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4664: Don't you just love it when you only get a grid HALF right and then you find the setter says it is very easy ? Maybe this is nature's way of telling me I should take up watching TV. No offence taken odesiw! (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4661: I liked this, caught out by the cream ( but only because I am tired - of course!). I think you may have left a comma on the end of the answer which meant I was marked correct although I was wrong. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4664: Thanks, a fun grid odesiw--I didn't 'half' enjoy it! (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4664: This should have been graded as very easy. Sorry. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4665: This should have been graded as very easy. Sorry (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4217: Living some 300 yards from the sea, a "must have" when selling properties in this area are "sea glimpses". They are a bit like "sea views" but it usually means that you have to get on top of the wardrobe in the back bedroom and use a hand mirror to see the water. Hope you are now suitably abreast of the phrase and ready to buy property anywhere on the coast. (9 years, 5 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4660: Well that's three minutes of my life wasted. Rather than apologising afterwards, why post it in the first place? (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4661: nice one, Annie. Thank you. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4661: Anagram wasn't permitted as an answer, but a good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Neilo. @ #4648: Good one. Challenging. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Neilo @ #4654: Enjoyable. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Neilo @ #4657: Great fun. (9 years, 5 months ago)

catriona @ #4659: Disallowed 'under the' without capitals-why??? (9 years, 5 months ago)

deedee @ #4657: What's a panther tank? (9 years, 5 months ago)

ebay-gum @ #4660: Yep, far too obscure. No fun really. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mrs T @ #4660: Apology accepted. I didn't have a clue. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4652: nice one. Sprinters was a great group - too good for me. Thanks. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #3175: Very good. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4660: Apologies! This is pretty obscure. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4658: got the groups pretty swiftly, but was stumped by the mothers-in-law. Good grid, thanks. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JimmyB @ #4651: Shakespeare came up with some strange character names.....good grid though! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4659: Not bad (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4659: Not *very* easy, Jimmy! Took me a while to get the right 'unders'! Well done, thanks. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4657: Good one! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4115: Excellent! (9 years, 5 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4658: Interesting grid, but the first number drawn in the UK National Lottery was 30. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #1396: I got lucky with an inspired guess. Good grid! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4652: I went back to it and made a couple of mistakes myself. How can any of us have this much spare time??!!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

TPM2209 @ #4650: You made one mistake: 4/9 should be 4/6 to fit the pattern. (9 years, 5 months ago)

TYLER @ #4652: VERY GOOD GRID (9 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3361: Nope, it's je t'aime. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4633: Good Effort! (9 years, 5 months ago)

JRWaddy @ #4652: I scored Nil... Far far far too difficult (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4640: I was lazy and just put "Labour" for the Cook group. WRONG! Good board! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4648: Indeed, i accept that. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4648: Bit picky Oddball, but often spelled "pigeon"....and it could be argued that spelling it "pigeon" is actually Pidgin English?!!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

BeeBee @ #4647: Too specific. Monotonous. Yawn. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4458: I second toast's comments re acceptable answers. Enjoyed the grid, though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

RastaRat @ #3361: For the language I love you connection, je t'aime is wrong. J'adore is french for I love you (9 years, 5 months ago)

RastaRat @ #3588: Annoyed. For clothing group I wrote as my connection clothing and it came up with incorrect. I looked at the 'correct' answer and it was items of clothing. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Anonymous @ #4047: Firstly, I like the red herring in there with Apple as a fruit and computer references. But shouldn't Super Mario Bros. be accepted and not just Mario Bros. For the fruit group I wrote in fruit as the connection and it wasn't accepted. The answer was 'different types of fruit'. How stupid is that? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Anonymous @ #4257: Why can't you spell cities. Citys! Really? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Anonymous @ #4494: Too easy (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4619: I really like this one. Agree with spangles about the lp . The truth is that there are loads of connections that may be impossible to get without some knowledge but the Beatles can't reasonably be classed as obscure. This is general knowledge fair and square. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4648: Nice grid. Thanks. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4645: good hidden numbers section. Thanks (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4648: But found out that there is a novel Pigeon English ,so sorry! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4648: Don't want to be a spoilsport,but pidgin might be better?good grid tho! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4647: The classification has changed. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4647: Not very easy for me,but good,thank you jelly. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #243: Are you indeed.again? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Destrii @ #4585: This is brilliant. Professional board trolling. (9 years, 5 months ago)

A @ #238: What LilyB said. If replica was changed to replicate it would work. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #2189: That must be true often? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4642: ...which is fine, by the way; lots of clues in these puzzles are not dictionary words, especially when hidden words or other wordplay are involved. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Nobby @ #4642: Good effort. Danone isn't a word as such. i.e. not in dictionary. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4644: Thanks, toast! You always leave good feedback, and it makes posting these more fun. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4644: Thanks for the tip. From now on I am staying well clear of veterinarians. Loved the ABBA one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4094: Mr A . How about a line of four to have scored major international penalties? More challenging and no lucrative pizza adverts. Funny old world. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4621: jayem- the answer is hidden. What you see is just the explanation. It looks like Dobbs81 has got this now.A lot of us still misunderstand. Debs is being kind to Dobbs but, unintentionally, not to Puzzgrid. The problem is one of success - lots of new players. Long may it continue and may Dobbs81 entertain us again. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4628: This was an excellent grid . Not your fault that I don't watch violent films. Too much like everyday life (so never do that to me again or we will be having a little chat). I would have got it all if not for the "geen" distraction .Of course............ Well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4633: What made this better than average was the grand crossover between piano and aunt. Cheers for that and for the memory particularly of the great Steve Ovett - his injury robbed us all. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4635: Not great technically but I enjoyed it. Not a bad achievement then. Thanks. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4636: It was impossible but interesting. More than you can say for most . (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4625: Caught me out on two lines and I feel I am stupid not that the grid is stupid. That is the way to set them. Well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4638: Despite being too one-paced in terms of types of clue this actually succeeds. I liked the trap line with the use of the s to make strap though initially when I saw Clap I had my doubts as to whether it was in the "best possible taste". (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4637: A grid of two halves in terms of subject matter. Liked the musical (Stones for the avoidance of doubt) and poetic part. Some effort towards a crossover but lacked structural variety. Still a cut above most grids and I did enjoy it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4641: Yes good. Ian remember the setter only gives an initial suggested level of difficulty, after that the rest of us decide. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4639: Good in parts, in fact better than most. Maybe I miss ( or maybe I missed) the crossovers. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #2542: Not very easy? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #1864: What a minefield,,good grid though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4637: nice one (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4643: Good grid.Bbit "tight" on acceptable answers? "authors" wasn't accepted. Enjoyable, nevertheless. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4642: good grid.Thanks (9 years, 5 months ago)

Cobbler @ #4643: I luv this grid! It is a little broke though (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4641: I hadn't worked out that low could mean small, that was clever! (9 years, 5 months ago)

The Puzzler @ #4642: gr8! I luv it when musicals get into these (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4640: Fun! I couldn't get the connection for the "Cook" group. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4640: Good one Annie,Thankyou! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4637: Cracking grid....enjoyed that one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Shelley @ #4634: Tricky!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4365: How can I find out what the Powerful, Barn, Brown, Snowy link is? Good one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

ramuz93 @ #4633: Good one. Although the Coe, Ovett line didn't let me have simply athletes or gold medallists. The piano one also confused me... but that's just me being dim. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4632: nice one (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4629: nice one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4634: too good for me at this time of night. well done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4633: nice grid, thank you. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4628: Dearest 4x4, please direct me some of your grids so I can marvel at how it should be done. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #3723: nice grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4628: Never mind about the Shannon, odesiw, I liked it! (I put Belfast as a county on my grid, and I'm Irish, so my bad too..) (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4631: Couldn't solve this if my life depended on it! (9 years, 5 months ago)

4 x 4 @ #4628: Great. So you've advanced from 4 x 4 (precede & follow) groups, to 2 x 8 (colours & names for bits of sea) groups ? Can't wait to see the next leap - I'm supposing actors' surnames, as it has been the most common choice I seen to date, for 1 x 16 grids. Also, could you also please let users know which map of GB or the UK has had a river Shannon on it since 1922 ? I'm sure some Irish users might be interested. (9 years, 5 months ago)

spangles @ #4628: "geen"...? (9 years, 5 months ago)

Debs @ #4621: It's the fault of a poor programme - regarding the answers. As long as you know you got them right that's all that matters. Don't blame the setter. (9 years, 5 months ago)

goodnessme @ #4625: ?? It's easy if you see it and hard if you don't?? thanks for that!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4623: the boys' names stumped me. good grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4628: no I decided to eplace them with eight shipping foecast aeas. (9 years, 5 months ago)

PuzMe2Shame @ #4629: Hi guys, The words Valet, Village, Oriental and Athletics all have English Football team names (or more precisely English Football team suffixes) hidden within them: Port VALE, Aston VILLA, Leyton ORIENT and Oldham ATHLETIC. Maybe a little obscure with hindsight. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jimmy B @ #4629: First 4 were relatively easy and I'm still not sure of the link with Valet, Village, Athletics and the other one is...Good quality. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jimmy B @ #4631: Only a music fan of the 60s and 70s would have a chance with this (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4629: Nice but "valet" should be "vale" and that stumped me a bit. Good connections though and the anagrams were well hidden - only just got them 30 seconds before the end. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4627: Ooh very nice one. It took me a long while to get going. I figured the "clockwork" group (which is awesome, by the way) early but didn't manage to add "top" to it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #1430: suggest you look at the flag beside the name, boys. A German flag might give you a clue as to the language?? Dies fand ich echt schwer, obwohl ich Spass dabei hatte. Schoen Dank. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #2887: Why sorry about won? (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #1353: you would rather do German Puzzgrids than watch TV - and not bother responding in German. Mir scheints, dass du der jenige bist, der mal nach draussen schauen solltest. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4625: Very fun! The "twee" group leaped out at me right away, and then I got the "ond" group just based on how they look (without really realizing what was going on). Then after staring for a while, "ynos" and "temz" gave away their respective groups. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4448: mein gewoehnliches problem als Englaender - die verbindungen genau auf Deutsch zu beschreiben. Alle 4 Gruppen ganz schnell gefunden aber schlecht erklaert. Habe mich doch amusiert dabei. Danke vielmals (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #128: ich habe die gruppen gefunden aber mein Deutsch war nicht so gut, als ich versuchte, die Verbindungen zu erklaeren. Als Englaender fand ich es sehr gut. Schoen dank. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4628: Sorry - "geen" should be green. As promised, this grid was for 4x4 who gets so boooooooooooored with answers that "can precede" or "can follow" (9 years, 5 months ago)

Dobbs81 @ #4621: Hi guys - thanks for the feedback. My first effort and I misunderstood the answers section. This now shouldn't be an issue on future grids if I come up with any. Regards (9 years, 5 months ago)

ODESIW @ #4616: Dear 4x4, That's why it was classed as an easy grid - to get those just starting interested in the process. I will do a tougher one just for you in the near future. Keep your eyes open. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4627: good grid. took a while to get the "clockwork" group. I was looking for a single word rather than a generic answer to start with. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4621: got 3 out of 4 groups pretty quickly. I thought the Fleetwood mac one was simple, but maybe that's my age and musical preferences . However, my answers of "way", "Fleetwood mac" and "palace" were all deemed incorrect. you need a little more tolerance in the answers you accept in future. good grid, though. (9 years, 5 months ago)

dave @ #4621: got all connections, but all answers were right but given wrong. my answer for palaces was palaces and was wrong (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4625: Great grid,very enjoyable,Thankyou! (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4613: Good, relatively easy grid. Nice red herrings. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4621: Nice one. I didn't think Fleetwood Mac connection was too obscure, but jayem is right about the answers - it's meant that no reasonable answer is being accepted. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4624: Enjoyed it. However Altantis / Challenger weren't space missions, they were the names of shuttles flown during missions. (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4625: It's not just nonsense, I promise! Not sure how to rate this one. It's easy if you see it and hard if you don't ;-) Hope you enjoy it in any case. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4613: I found two groups, couldn't get the last two separated out, got all the connections. It's much less "easy-peasy" for those outside the UK! It would have been nice if "station" had been accepted for the relevant group (which I was quite pleased with myself for recognizing, btw). (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4607: Thanks for the comments guys. Yes this is probably one of my harder ones. Glad most of you liked it! (Deirdre - that the connections are rather obscure is kind of THE WHOLE POINT. Have you ever done a cryptic crossword before? To me it's the same kind of thinking) (9 years, 5 months ago)

spangles @ #4613: Easy-peasy, but good quality and well-crafted. (9 years, 5 months ago)

jayem @ #4613: Nice grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

jayem @ #4616: Nice grid. (9 years, 5 months ago)

spangles @ #4619: I liked this - on the easy side but challenging enough with the red herrings. I don't think The Beatles "White Album" is just any 50 year old LP, btw... :D (9 years, 5 months ago)

jayem @ #4618: Middle names - not a piece of general knowledge. I suspect that not even you knew it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

jayem @ #4619: Spoiled it by having a row of tracks from a 50 year old lp. (9 years, 5 months ago)

jayem @ #4621: Fleetwood Mac - too obscure, and no I didn't get the maiden names... You need to have simpler answers. You shouldn't put your explanation in the answer. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4616: Well yes it would ideally be more varied but no setter can please every taste and ability. Lots of gridders will enjoy this. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4617: Nice grid but I suspect that you weren't careful enough in inputting the answers ( as distinct from the explanations). You may get a few comments as a result , which is quote common. (9 years, 5 months ago)

toast @ #4607: Been away for a while. This was a nice one to come back to. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Tough for me @ #4620: Recognised all 4 connections, but didn't connect a single group (i.e. knew 2-3. didn't get 4th) . I don't think I'll be the last to experience this. (9 years, 5 months ago)

JTLYK @ #4618: - nobody, but nobody got 10 points - or will ever get 10 points on this , because it requires some seriously specialist knowledge. I doubt Daniel Craig would have guessed it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Paul @ #4623: Enjoyable. (9 years, 5 months ago)

4 x 4 @ #4616: = boooring. When all 4 solutions end up being "can all follow" or "can all precede", it very quickly turns into a yawnfest. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Dave @ #4623: Nice wall - quite tricky in parts. (9 years, 5 months ago)

marymary @ #4237: Very easy! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Jimmy B @ #4620: Good one for TV buffs (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4619: A poser indeed,well done! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Muffo1 @ #353: Very Good! A bit too good for me! (9 years, 5 months ago)

maybebaby @ #4606: Yes, good but easy. Wolfdog get a job!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

dierdre @ #4607: Absolute shite! Pins?? For feck's sake! Is that the best you can do with nanosecond?? JC wept!! (9 years, 5 months ago)

phdeirdre @ #4610: Easy. 55 secs. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Impressive @ #4611: well used red herrings forced me to burn through all three lives at the end. Keep it up. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #1967: This was a challenge. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4611: Well done odesiw,it beat me! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4610: Cheeses new to me! (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4611: enjoyable grid, with a smattering of red herrings. Got the last groups with seconds to spare. (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4610: nice one - too good for me early in the day (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4606: Very clever--female animals had me 'outfoxed' for ages. Loved it! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4607: Loved this--had a few goes but couldn't get beyond Ministers until last 30 seconds! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4607: Very difficult, but enjoyable with interesting connections. Since the connections were so tough, it helped that it wasn't overloaded with extra complexity from a lot of crossovers and red herrings. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4604: Ah yes,,it surely did! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4607: Both clever and original and did for oddball entirely! (9 years, 5 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4606: Agree with Wolfdog, though this is one of the best "hidden numbers" groups I've seen. Really well hidden, consumed a lot of time finding the last one. (9 years, 5 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #2862: Just awful. Try harder. (9 years, 5 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #2856: Too american. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4606: Well-made; it would have been considerably more difficult if I hadn't seen most of the same ideas in earlier puzzles. I may be learning something! (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4604: lived up to its grading (9 years, 5 months ago)

odesiw @ #4592: we all make mistakes - good grid (9 years, 5 months ago)

Annie @ #4602: Nice--tricky red herrings-- enjoyed it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Worth @ #4604: waiting for. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Really Tough @ #4601: stuff. Keep 'em coming. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4604: Ferociously hard. (9 years, 5 months ago)

TheSaint @ #4601: Oddball took the words out of my mouth! Got the Holmes stories straight away but was at a complete loss for the others! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Mike @ #4417: Superb! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4601: Sorry about the long clue that overflows its box; nothing I can do about it. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4602: I got fooled for a while wanting "Jackson" to be in the wrong group but I eventually got it mostly sorted. (9 years, 5 months ago)

Oddball @ #4601: Fiendish indeed! (9 years, 5 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4598: I scored 3/10 unfairly, as I recognized the "Hastings" group for 2 points, but was also given an undeserved point for entering "Scooby Doo Episodes" for the "Chalk Farm" group. Very difficult grid, for me, anyway. (9 years, 5 months ago)

wendy @ #4573: french and german are spoken in switzerland - not 'swiss' the words in the red blocks precede 'light' not the other way round (9 years, 6 months ago)

wendy @ #4587: 'ball' follows not precedes the words 'snow/pin/volley/dodge (9 years, 6 months ago)

lara @ #4582: really good (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bren @ #4592: Belfast is not an Irish county! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #4430: 2 Jacks is stupid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Annie @ #4592: @ boxhead: I know, I know--the shame! meant to insert a different county but too late to rectify! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4595: I laughed! I cried! This grid was better than Cats! I'm going to play it again and again. (9 years, 6 months ago)

AStagedResponse @ #4595: Very good. (9 years, 6 months ago)

__goldie98__ @ #4597: Good wall but please allow "spells" for group B (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4595: So obviously staged responses, makes the grid look a bit silly really. (9 years, 6 months ago)

melanie @ #4593: Very hard for anyone (9 years, 6 months ago)

optimist @ #4595: this one's a bit more tricky. beat me ! (9 years, 6 months ago)

optimist @ #4596: nice and easy - with a couple of cross overs. Nothing wrong with that ! (9 years, 6 months ago)

optimist @ #4597: well it amused me and i somehow solved it despite not being able to get the connections ! Practice makes perfect. keep at it:-) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bob @ #4595: Spelling fail (9 years, 6 months ago)

Rich @ #186: Found it easy but I guess it's just the way my mind works. Have struggled with some others have marked as easy. (9 years, 6 months ago)

phdierdre @ #4597: Terrible. Terrible. Speechless!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Slightly suspicious @ #4595: looking list of super-positive comments for your mediocre grid here. Less than 20 minutes after uploading, you have all this positive feedback ; 4 users within 20 minutes. You are truly fortunate??!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Df @ #4595: Persephone is Greek so answer is not correct. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Rubbish @ #4597: There are 2 spelling mistakes in the clues that I can see, which leads me to think it is a word clue. Another 2 in the solutions. Really lazy. Are people seriously expected to know what youtubers are, and recognise their names from a list?? I had to google a definition after I read the solution. I still don't know what mortal instruments are, even after reading your solution? And finally, I see that you got another imaginary friend below to be blown away by your effort, 5 minutes after uploading. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Well Done @ #4596: creating 5 different first names for your imaginary friends to heap praise on your grid. 5 reviews within 4 minutes. ha ha. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Clare @ #4597: Amazing (9 years, 6 months ago)

Sammy_243 @ #4596: This is quite difficult! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Alfiet @ #4596: Love it!!! :) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Spencer @ #4596: Interesting ideas. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Zoe @ #4596: Great!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Miranda @ #4596: A very good grid! Well done :) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Rebecca @ #4595: Best wall I've Eva played (9 years, 6 months ago)

Rowan @ #4595: Soo gd!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

RoseAlsoSharted @ #4595: AMAZZZZING! (9 years, 6 months ago)

GraceHelbig @ #4595: Very good!! An excellent grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #3471: 2 answers not given as correct- (9 years, 6 months ago)

ARI @ #4578: (9 years, 6 months ago)

Toby @ #4578: Apparently he was Greek too, thanks Wikipedia. I must remember to check before pressing send. LOL (9 years, 6 months ago)

Toby @ #4578: I put US Currency and got it wrong. Pluto is not a Greek god, he's a Roman God. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4593: Wow,very hard for oddball! (9 years, 6 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4592: Good grid, except Belfast is a city not a county. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4592: Nice red herrings! Fooled me.... (9 years, 6 months ago)

lara @ #4573: Swiss is not a language (9 years, 6 months ago)

peja @ #4365: Tricky (9 years, 6 months ago)

peja @ #4582: A fun grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2091: What does the - mean? (9 years, 6 months ago)

jayem @ #4576: I got all the rows; but I confess that I didn't always know why... (9 years, 6 months ago)

BogBrush @ #4582: Very good grid, although I entered blanks for the connections and still got the bottom 3 correct! :) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2179: This is in my opinion a very clever grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4590: Chocolate bars didn't give me a correct answer. Cat is a four legged animal too. Dog and Zebra can also be used with fish. Very poor. Must try harder. (9 years, 6 months ago)

daddom @ #4567: Hard. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Annie @ #4587: Nice one, Dee--clever! (9 years, 6 months ago)

wi_candle_nd @ #4590: Nice starter grid, but has a bit of an identity crisis. Are they gods or planets? Also, swapping CAT with DOG does not invalidate connections, so grid is not unique. Better luck next time. (9 years, 6 months ago)

phdeirdre @ #4585: Enjoyed that. V easy. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Daddom @ #608: Took a while to get going. Enjoyed it. Thanks (9 years, 6 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4589: Will accept any given answer as correct. I believe this happens if you have a trailing comma in your acceptable answers list. (9 years, 6 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4587: Good one. Usually a row consisting of anagrams of each other is screamingly obvious - but smart red herrings made this one much less so. (9 years, 6 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4582: Good stuff (9 years, 6 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4575: Too obscure (9 years, 6 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4582: Well done - good cross overs. (9 years, 6 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #2806: Good grid mate. Don't listen to em. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4589: Nice one! Some cheeky red herrings in there. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4572: Well,a lot of thought in this,good one! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4588: Not easy for oddball! Good grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

BlaH @ #4588: Good links, enjoyable (9 years, 6 months ago)

daddom @ #4575: Hard (9 years, 6 months ago)

daddom @ #4580: Cool but hard. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Fish @ #4573: Don't think "Swiss" is a language... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4588: Easy and fun. Nice! (9 years, 6 months ago)

madman @ #4588: Yay (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stolen Identity @ #4587: best grid i've ever seen superb (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4556: Challenging, but I still got it sorted and got 7/10 (my explanation for the "mimic" group involved only the vowel, and so wasn't specific enough). It's always fun when you get that jolt of recognition that I got when I saw Emacs and Vim in there... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4556: Baffled me,but good grid indeed (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4574: But hard!original ideas. (9 years, 6 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #2752: too american (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4587: Good grid, although "preceded" means the opposite of what you think it means. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Dee @ #4586: I found this very difficult. The five anagram words threw me. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4573: Nice enjoyed this (9 years, 6 months ago)

Rich @ #98: Also tried sol-fa for musical notes (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4575: Hard but good. Scarlet line rather niche? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4580: Yes, very good. Thought the 360 line very hard. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4582: Nice and logical, fun crossovers (9 years, 6 months ago)

Maxwell @ #4582: I liked that! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4585: ...properly (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4585: And that wasn't even written . (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4585: I struggle more tan I should have one with this!good grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4580: Yes,it was very clever ,well done! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Dumbo @ #4554: Damon Hill henman Hill benny hill cheviot hills (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4582: That was fun!thankyou! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4576: I didn't have a clue about this!was good though! (9 years, 6 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4573: French Polish was new to me! Great grid, lots of red herrings. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3856: Good connections and crossovers, but the French actors include a Michel whereas your answer cites a Jean. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3859: I got the musical intervals straight away and the group containing musical, though for the wrong reason. I should have got the TV channels, but no way the other, game related one. A good grid, but the grids with gaming connection always disappoint as I feel they are too niche. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3871: My answer to the group containing mine is equally valid ie can be both verbs and nouns. And what's the other pronunciation of mine? (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3894: Confusing and enjoyable. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4579: nice grid, but harder that expected (9 years, 6 months ago)

Maxwell @ #4580: I enjoyed this grid, the red herring of the shapes was cleverly done. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4579: This one was totally opaque to me! I only recognized the "circle" connection. Should have spotted the connection for "fur" but oh well. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4578: Easy but quite enjoyable. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4576: Very good! Also very difficult, for me, but entirely fair, well made, and intriguing - I had an inkling about the groups and it was fun trying to get them sorted. (9 years, 6 months ago)

C @ #4566: Agree with comments below. Will not accept English kings - but gives correct answer as Kings of England! (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3927: I don't get the lol cat (9 years, 6 months ago)

melanie @ #4574: Good wall (9 years, 6 months ago)

jayem @ #2194: A line of first names is always risky - is the group unique. In fact, these are all pupils at Park View school. (9 years, 6 months ago)

jayem @ #2213: Grids do tend to be difficult if the answers don't make sense... (9 years, 6 months ago)

elis @ #4566: answer criteria too harsh (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #238: A very clever grid,despite the aforementioned reservations! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4554: Sorry didn't understand the hill group? What am I missing (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4564: Too hard for me, but enjoyed trying, kicked myself when I saw the answers, all from my childhood! (9 years, 6 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4547: Countries line was particularly awesome (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4568: Disappointed with the animals group, but like the rest (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4525: Enjoyed this, some nice red herrings (9 years, 6 months ago)

Julie @ #4561: Nice grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

JAM @ #3361: Very good (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3027: Very hard for most I think.the anagrams were a fiendish construct? (9 years, 6 months ago)

RogerE @ #4569: Anagrams not accepted as a correct answer for the OPST set. (9 years, 6 months ago)

mario @ #4566: nice grid but will not accept correct connections (9 years, 6 months ago)

AnnR @ #4566: As the others say. All right sets, no explanation accepted (9 years, 6 months ago)

squamous @ #4568: Carnivorans are members of the order Carnivora, they are not necessarily exclusively carnivorous. Jellies (as in cranberry jelly, mint jelly rather than jelly and ice cream) and chutneys are often classed as sauces. I also accepted various other words though, such as condiments. Thanks for the feedback though guys! (9 years, 6 months ago)

mouse @ #4566: none of the connections work. Beatles is not accepted, nor is Thomas the Tank Engine. (9 years, 6 months ago)

mouse @ #4568: Good groups with some nice red herrings, but the connections are rubbish. Three of the "carnivoran" animals are omnivorous; the only thing they have in common is being mammals, which isn't an accepted connection. And I don't know anyone who would define chutney and jelly as "sauces". (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2002: This is one of my favourite grids,,very amusing! (9 years, 6 months ago)

RowG @ #4566: Doesn't accept the correct answers! (9 years, 6 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4564: I agree with Oddball: I usually give up after a few seconds on an all-name grid. However this one was right up my street and fell into place nicely as soon as I'd got the Swap Shop group. Very enjoyable if you are of a certain age. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4568: Clever grid.maybe harder than medium? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #2225: Nice to have a straightforward one for a change (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #2230: I got stuck on this. 12 things were linked by not starting with the letter 'p'. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4567: I wonder.i would think these words are compounds actually. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #2231: Butterfly is too much of a stretch (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #2236: Almost very neat. The Hobbit isn't a prequel, though. It was published first. (9 years, 6 months ago)

wi_candle_nd @ #4567: Not a bad grid. But I think you're playing fast & loose with the definition of compound word. BEGIN and TARGET can be broken into 2 words, IMO this does not automatically make it a compound. Other examples I can think of are - carpet, furlong, generally ..... (9 years, 6 months ago)

robincac @ #4566: fun but the links were too specific (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1654: Phew! That was formidable....but good! (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3991: Very good grid, but I must point out that my answer to green group is also correct as they are also all buried in Paris. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3998: Enjoyable. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4002: Previous comments, also I thought that not allowing "ends" for green group a little mean! (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4033: Clever but not difficult. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1251: But links wrong,I put simon for historians and marked correct. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4562: Did you mean obscure? (9 years, 6 months ago)

SDR101 @ #2633: Enjoyable grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #2296: Nice grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #139: Good fun! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #4535: Since when isn't a film a "movie" ? I'm British not american ! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #4554: Answers badly set up.. No point doing the grid ! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #4553: Moron (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #2493: Didn't like the "contronyms" .. Not sure agree with them all... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #4562: Too obtuse! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #3762: Fun! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mary @ #4528: Good grid ! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mrs T @ #4566: Definitely not fiendish. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4566: you really need to sort out the bonus points next time - typed EXACTLY what you had as the link on one of them and got nothing; on the others wrote perfectly acceptable links and again nothing. sort it out sunshine! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4565: Duplicated with 4564.... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4564: Sort of knew all the links but ran out of time as there are many connections The bonus points were hard - typed in the name of the programme they were linked to and 2 of them didn't score where they were in the answer (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4562: Tricky for me (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4565: All names? Always fox me! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4564: Always find all names grids hard! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #3696: Really enjoyed this one. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4562: Agree,original and fun! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3230: The red herrings were very pleasing,,I enjoyed even though I was felled! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oliver @ #4302: Too hard for thick people like us. Stupid grouping (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2787: Nice grid, some playful herrings in there. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4562: Really good! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Well Done @ #4561: Good solid list with plenty of time consuming red herrings. Needed most of time to solve. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4561: Pretty good grid - quite easy but some nice touches (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4561: Superb grid -- but answer recognition a bit pedantic... (9 years, 6 months ago)

piss @ #2724: was piss (9 years, 6 months ago)

Nudger @ #4531: Excellent! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1790: Just about managed!good crid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2745: This looked so daunting (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4559: Hampton Q ,very clever and somewhat daunting! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4556: Exacting grid. Made the three minutes fly by. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4554: Diamond grid buried in a steaming pile of poor answer recognition. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #3943: Unlike 'Unimpressed', i love criticising contributors who are trying, however i enjoyed this grid and thought goo and cheapo witty. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4556: Enjoyed it, nicely balanced lines (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4554: The answers are poor. They need to be as simple as possible. Eg have just "whale" as the connection, and include more in the explanation, if you want. (9 years, 6 months ago)

ian @ #4554: Surely eaten by and swallowed by a whale are same thing? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4554: People or places in the hill group? (9 years, 6 months ago)

RogerE @ #4553: Utter rubbish. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4492: Nice grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4494: To explain to Bestmate. What you see are not the answers but explanations. The acceptable answers are hidden from view. Often inexperienced setters can't navigate through the rules for setting answers. As a result they sometimes accept any answer at all , and sometimes virtually no answer will be accepted. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Letchworth @ #98: A good challenge (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4548: I know it's a good grid when I feel daft for missing something. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4551: Varied - I like it. (9 years, 6 months ago)

KitMit @ #4553: It's 'masturbation' not 'masterbation' no matter how good one is at it. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4548: Well and truly Quimbled. Fiendish puzz. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4545: Nicely stumping grid, though could be more flexible with answers... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4547: Brilliant! (9 years, 6 months ago)

You @ #4553: pillock (9 years, 6 months ago)

Yawn @ #4553: As you are aware that you talk through your ass, and need to do this on the move, you solve the problem by using a mobile phone back there. Clever, I'd say it's tough to recharge. There are soooo many sites on the net, where you can blog about your fight against colon plaque and back door halitosis, with your fellow history students Mark & Jeff. Can you please try using one of those sites to do so, instead of making puzzle solvers endure this crud? I'm sure that you will find a more receptive audience. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mario @ #4553: I thought only o level , not A level standard, funny though. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4553: Solved it. Was it your own toothbrush? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4553: Crap grid - but amusing connections! Although I think that Jeff and Mark are also probably in the Finger and Maglite group as well (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4526: Not my favourite grid from Danny - too hard for me! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4535: Another top grid from Danny (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4547: Great grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4553: Well I never! (9 years, 6 months ago)

George dickey @ #4550: Easy easy (9 years, 6 months ago)

?????????????? @ #4550: Who am I ???? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jeffrey @ #4550: Yo (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stephen Irwin @ #4550: Ok but hard (9 years, 6 months ago)

Tom monaghan @ #4550: It's okay (9 years, 6 months ago)

JOSHUA BOURQUE @ #4550: I think that this website is very useful but it is difficult. I would recommend it to all of the uses. (9 years, 6 months ago)

My name is jeff @ #4550: It's absaloyly solid (9 years, 6 months ago)

ian @ #3469: No apostrophe in plural of tomato. Correct spelling is tomatoes. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Naja @ #4551: geht so (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #2296: Enjoyable. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #1951: Very easy. Silver and fish were rejected as answers which was a bit harsh as they were correct! Nice try though :-) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #1951: Very easy. Silver and fish were rejerejected as answers which was a bit harsh as they were correct! Nice try though :-) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4551: Good one,harder than medium! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4546: Nice! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Letchworth @ #33: Chinese years.....not allowed? (9 years, 6 months ago)

wi_candle_nd @ #4548: Bravo. Needed all three minutes. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #1909: Enjoyed this very much. Very gentle (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #1916: Nice one (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3221: Two rows easy,maybe not fiendish? (9 years, 6 months ago)

tronkil @ #4548: excellent! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4548: Yeah, I reckoned this one would be pretty tough. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4548: Formidable! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4548: Formidable! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4414: Kal and Hampton Q admire each other justifiably! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #2204: Very obscure, no fun - sorry. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #2208: Valves eh? Yeah, whatever! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4511: What has please? (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4512: Most enjoyable (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4532: Not too difficult. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4547: Nice (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4547: I like all the red herrings in the chilly line, very good grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4531: I liked this. Different and it can be worked out in most part even if ( like me) you aren't familiar with the numerical representations. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4544: Oddball I think you were closer the first time. It seems to be an understanding of Wien ( Vienna ) that is the key rather than our 1980s Dsseldorf sitcom. Unfortunately that is as far as my limited German takes me. I certainly couldn't tackle the anagrams . It may be a very good grid but I will never know. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Letchworth @ #4525: Enjoyable (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4547: It's another good grid,danny. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Danny @ #4547: Yes, I know I'm relying on a mispronunciation of Chile, but I hope it doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2037: Gosh,such crossovers! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4544: Wiedersehen, sorry. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4546: Some original ideas,fun. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3580: Ben,I think this is the best way to enjoy puzz grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

mario @ #4535: Really enjoyed the grid, (9 years, 6 months ago)

Swag @ #4325: I enjoyed this grid but I didn't know there was an assassin called Arno? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Swag @ #4326: This puzzle was great. SPOILER good that rose is a doctor who companion so that was a red herring. Cool grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4532: Nice! A maze of puzzgrid chicanery. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4535: Snack grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4545: Very clever indeed! (9 years, 6 months ago)

wi_candle_nd @ #4545: Really stumped me. Enjoyed it a lot. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #30: What is the point? Where is quality control? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4544: I am sure it is good, for those who understand.auf wieners ehen. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Abby @ #4313: fab grid, love the red herrings (9 years, 6 months ago)

Aj @ #4533: It should be "followed by" not "preceded", which means "in front of". You wouldn't have " cricket French", would you? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4533: Lovely grid, typos aside. Though one for the English I think... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2850: Sorry to repeat,trouble entering comment. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2850: Fun,quite easy! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2850: Thought quite easy. But fun! (9 years, 6 months ago)

BrownStain @ #4492: Agent Brown...really? (9 years, 6 months ago)

forkerism @ #1708: Brushing Clow? (9 years, 6 months ago)

assspelunker @ #4511: this has a second meaning. work it out. (9 years, 6 months ago)

luvs2spooj @ #4535: decent (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #1191: Completed it quickly but only got one connection! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4531: Interesting grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4533: Yes, it is plum and it should be all preceded not proceeded by Les Mis Stage is a poor clue as well but enjoyable nonetheless! (9 years, 6 months ago)

nobody @ #2425: your spelling is rubbish! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4535: Good one Danny! (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4527: Was the repeated word just an inputting mistake? If so it would have been a good grid otherwise. Repetition is never acceptable but this does look unintentional. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4533: Good,,but tis Plum I think. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Iain @ #1458: Irritatingly pedantic explanations. I knew all the links but told me incorrect every time. (9 years, 6 months ago)

RogerE @ #4532: Good. I enjoyed this one. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4531: Really enjoyed it. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Reggie Pubby @ #4531: First category could also have been words preceding byte (9 years, 6 months ago)

Dayul @ #4533: Really fun. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4531: Now it's fiendish,,that may be a step too far. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4532: Some original ideas! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4531: Maybe hard, tho I'm not strong on maths I guess. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4515: You have good taste -some of this is scarily close to a grid I was working on (until now!) . And I still didn't solve it fully! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4525: Completed in last second! Too many herrings, not quick fingered enough! Enjoyable though (9 years, 6 months ago)

RogerE @ #4527: The rodents set ruins an otherwise very good grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

RogerE @ #4526: A challenging but fun grid, enjoyed it a lot. (9 years, 6 months ago)

jimjah @ #4471: Some interesting crossovers. Good (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1025: Why? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1191: When in doubt...it's a band! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Booties @ #4527: The word chincilla and chinchilla are spelt not repeated. I cant get the answers on my device! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oh, just go away @ #4530: and leave the site for those how are interested in challenging others, and not just their fellow students. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Not Fair . . . . . . . @ #4529: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . No answers sucked the life out of this one, which I found a little interesting for a pleasant change. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4527: Repeated word!? Scandalous grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4520: Best grid ever. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4517: A couple of the links were too tenuous for me (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4525: Under a minute for me too - but lots of good red herrings! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4528: Tricky! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4511: That,Hampton Quimbles,is very true. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #138: Do you think it is not a valid group Jim? I can't make up my mind. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4525: Fantastic grid. Tricky but just about doable! (9 years, 6 months ago)

saegh @ #2650: GIVE ME SOME DAL (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4525: You,bogbrush,are cleverer than me! (9 years, 6 months ago)

BogBrush @ #4525: Nice little herrings in there but completed in less than a minute :) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Excuse me? @ #2640: Black boy?! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Morons @ #2538: They're homophones, not misspelt you mongs (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3439: True of so many. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4520: A lovely treat for Simpson fans no doubt! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4518: Great grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hardwick @ #4494: The US version of Cluedo (called Clue in the US) has always called it knife instead of the UK's dagger, but I'd never heard of dumbbell as a weapon. It turns out that's a weapon in "Clue: Discover the Secrets", an offshoot game introduced in 2008 with major deviations from the original game. The original game continues to be sold as Clue in the US. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blondydondy @ #238: Flipping carbon!!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blondydondy @ #98: Not too bad, nice mix of red herrings included. 10/10 (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blondydondy @ #1152: Good, not too challenging. Mind you piper had me thinking!!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blondydondy @ #3361: Nice and simple (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4433: Kudos for the tribute: much missed (9 years, 6 months ago)

melanie @ #4471: Is that you again Nigel? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blondydondy @ #2296: Parts of the ship threw me (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4458: I think you need to read carefully the instructions for inputting acceptable answers. That said it is an enjoyable grid. The months are gettable even if not entirely logical but the answer month anagrams was rejected presumably because the input acceptable answer was not shortened or commas were not used between words ( by the way never use a comma after the last word fragment). (9 years, 6 months ago)

lq @ #4432: smashing (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4505: Ruined by herrings. Nice mix of high and low... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4511: Really clever grid -- but one you have to be English to get I think... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4512: Very clever! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4515: Excellent! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4517: Wow, tough one. The 'base' line particularly obscure... good herrings though! (9 years, 6 months ago)

AttackGay @ #4515: I love you x (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4509: What job do you do #slt? (9 years, 6 months ago)

AttackGay @ #4512: Very good. Stylish. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4514: Great fun (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4512: One really really hard line and three easy-ish ones! Enjoyed (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4503: Delightful grid, though easier than the typical KAL. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #4511: Didn't finish but enjoyed it. Had many inklings but totally missed the fish line! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4512: Gosh,fiendish? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4511: Very neat! (9 years, 6 months ago)

ruth @ #4419: I thought they were naan breads. The grid is good but the answer terms are terrible (9 years, 6 months ago)

PIGSKILL @ #4393: TOP GRID! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bumder @ #4505: Very good. Red herrings did me completely! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Stefano Hosio @ #4492: Easy to get the groups, tricky to get the connections for a couple. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4505: Nice one! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bumber @ #4503: Nice use of the flax, viper, water and lion from Only Connect! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Baz @ #4428: Didn't accept correct answers! (9 years, 6 months ago)

MondoGrid @ #4471: Interesting - I failed because I left the phonetics until the end and the red herrings ate up my lives. (9 years, 6 months ago)

MondoGrid @ #4495: So annoyed with myself - thought of logic gates, but moved on... Good grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

johnjohn @ #3591: I R8 8/8 (9 years, 6 months ago)

Abdullah IQBAL @ #12: FAR TOO EASY DISGRACEFUL PM NOT ALLOWED FOR PRIME MINISTER (9 years, 6 months ago)

Tommy Clarke @ #2723: gr8 m8 I r8 8/8 (9 years, 6 months ago)

James Kelly @ #2723: very good (9 years, 6 months ago)

Moron @ #4494: One of the worst riddles so far. Only solvable by island apes. Fools and horses, really? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Econ student @ #4501: Caused significant grief to the Y13 economics class! would recommend if you're looking for a challenge! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kin Ling @ #4496: Very challenging and interactive (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4494: Apparently dumbell and knife are in new US version,,googled. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4495: Poetic licence indeed! (9 years, 6 months ago)

sara @ #54: You're thinking of lileth! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4495: Tough one... 'knot' and 'black' lines a bit of a stretch maybe. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4492: Obscure puzz! Very nice. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4471: Great stuff guys! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4494: Easiest grid ever, then none of the right answers recognized. And @oddball, I've never seen Dumbbell before either! (9 years, 6 months ago)

ash @ #4494: dumbbell definitely not cluedo weapon??? and knife is dagger (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4494: The poor quality of the answers spoils what would have been a nice, easy grid. It would have been more effective to have as answers just "Essex", "Cluedo", "currencies", "Only fools". (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bestmate @ #4494: Easy, and the answers given are too detailed (9 years, 6 months ago)

Bestmate @ #4494: Easy, and the answers given are too detailed (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4492: Nice one! (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4436: Hard but good. The chemist line may be a rare attempt to give US gridders a level playing field or whatever other term they favour /favor. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Blah @ #1708: Leoving shopard? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4494: Those aren't the cluedo weapons I knew! US? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Nigelh @ #4471: Quite tough. A lot of names to sort out. (9 years, 6 months ago)

MondoGrid @ #4436: I demur with the other commenters. "Thomas A. Swift's electric rifle" is contrived, but still an acronym. You could argue MOdulator/DEModulator or RAdio Detection And Ranging are equally iffy. I liked it, anyway! (9 years, 6 months ago)

MondoGrid @ #4491: Groups are easy, but the answer terms could be more generous - e.g. "lie on fault lines" ought to be OK for the Himalayas group, maybe? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Row @ #4428: Didn't accept Charles as answer for 2nd category. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Row @ #4447: Very poor definitions - cycles bot bicycles clearly! Also rejected my second answer which was correct (9 years, 6 months ago)

McAbbarey @ #1249: Die Idee wre ja ganz gut. Aber ich hab kein einziges Stichwort erraten, das gepasst htte. Ich habs mit "dritte reihe" versucht, mit "3. zeile einer tastatur", ich habs mit "qwertz" versucht usw. Da sollte eine viel hhere Toleranz fr die Stichwrter bestehen. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4471: For some reason I found this hard,brain freeze? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Nobby @ #4458: Similarly, 'Zodiac' not accepted as an answer. (9 years, 6 months ago)

NoName @ #4458: Shame, this could have been good but inaccuracies and not accepting enough on the answers. May is not an abbreviation, it is the month. Sept is the recognised abbreviation for September. I could go on but I'll stop whilst I am only annoying and not worse! (9 years, 6 months ago)

phdierdre @ #4417: Good. The groups line was excellent, but saw it quickly (luck?). (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4190: Superfun puzz! Good to find an American focus for once... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4193: Really fun grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

phdee @ #4436: Good effort, but taser doesn't strictly fit. It's a made up word to rhyme with laser. Tom Swift's Electric Rifle -- made up!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4195: Decent grid with poorly contrived links. Maybe try more specific connections? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4211: Poor answer range but enjoyed the colour mix... (9 years, 6 months ago)

sally4th @ #4458: Is "pes" a word???? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #3885: Bit niche.. (9 years, 6 months ago)

phdierdre @ #4447: How is a tricycle (3 wheels) - a bicycle (2 wheels)???? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Fireman Sam @ #4446: Jaws of life is good answer. Fire crews use them to extract people from crashed vehicles. Pneumatic / Hydraulic tools for prising twisted metal apart, or spark free cutting tools for removing car doors, roofs, etc. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #3670: Nice wordplay. Not sure about the 'scowl' line though... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2165: Too bad! Such a good grid, though the error pointed out by @Nurdner did rather take the fun out of it. Canny though. (9 years, 6 months ago)

ash @ #4458: ball answer recorded as incorrect for no reason, "money" not accepted as an answer, nor "zodiac symbols" (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4446: This is very imaginative and I enjoyed having a go though I have not heard of the jaws of life before. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4458: 'Yam' line a bit of a stretch, and correct answers not recognized for the others... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4459: A tantalizing matrix of herrings, which has comfortably trumped Hampton Quimbles. Well played. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Super wall @ #4459: Best in a long while. Never saw the 5th group, and ran out of time. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4458: The months one seems a bit weird to me. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4459: Great red herrings! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3811: The Gaelic row is visible but nice. (9 years, 6 months ago)

ruth @ #2748: argh ! red herring alert (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2133: Nice to see the scottish aspect. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Me @ #4448: This was amazing (9 years, 6 months ago)

kal @ #4432: Vintage Quimbles. (9 years, 6 months ago)

kal @ #4414: A stunning debut. Sly, witty and inventive. I look forward to Mr Quimbles' "difficult second" grid... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4447: Two rows quite easy. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2066: Crippen did for me! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Tinnef @ #4430: +1 unacceptable (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2307: So many possible crossover options here. Well played. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2309: Ditto @puzzler. Why taint a tight grid with duff answers? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2323: Too bad about the answer stuff -- really good grid otherwise. Tottenham line foxed me. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4446: Puzz to the max. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4309: Voss does have claim to being boss -- v hard grid but fun one (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4314: Excellent grid. Good mix of colloquial and literal. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4317: Surprisingly tricky puzz. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4316: Must concur with @FOOLS below... otherwise a great grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4308: Excellent herrings! Didn't accept an obvious answer for the 'swindle' line though which made Hampton sad. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4321: Fun easy grid, but none of the terms were accepted. Poor show! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4386: Tough grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4436: Really good, though I take issue with the 'chemist' line on account of there being a lot of other examples of that... too broad a category maybe? (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4409: Wolfdog. If you just spent less time watching American rockers and more time watching British boxers ..... On second thoughts you would be as miserable as I am. Stay as you are ( but Bomber and the Auf W boys were a real spirit lifter). (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2314: It seems that cluedo is a big favourite! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4419: Thankyou toast,appreciate that! (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4433: Got part of it. Would have got more but for cultural reasons. And of course ignorance. Unlike Only Connect since its channel move you are safe from accusations of dumbing down. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4433: Top grid! Got lucky with one and couldn't get another (ignorant of the books) but really good. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4430: Yeah, what Mr A says. But It gave novelty value as a ONE-OFF ! And your answer recognition may be improving. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4428: This is a good grid but the input of acceptable answers before submitting the grid seems to have gone awry. I think you need to read the instructions carefully. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4419: Oddball. I am working on the basis that it was a slip of the finger ( G is just above B for Bread which was my guess for the answer). Somehow the incomplete grid got submitted ( another butterfingers slip to go with the bread). The explanatory words have no necessary correlation with the acceptable answers which are in a hidden section. (9 years, 6 months ago)

tronkil @ #4386: thank you, toast... (9 years, 6 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4418: Brixton briefcase! I'd never heard of that but it made me smile! Already wondering how it could be fitted into a Puzzgrid... (9 years, 6 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4433: Great mix of clues. The hexagonal one was smart - thought it was much harder than the others though. Which is kind of code for saying I wasn't clever enough to get it. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1145: Sorry, guages is right of course,oddball mortified. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1145: Is it gauges? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4433: I think it's fun. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4416: Another very good one. Easy enough to find the groups, but my answer of "professions" for the Cowboy group was not specific enough, I suppose... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4414: Very good! I got the grid sorted out, knew two of the links, had sort of a clue about a third but wasn't quite able to pin it down. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4409: I only managed 2/10. One of the categories (Bomber) I had never heard of at all, and another (Cooper) was well outside my range of knowledge. Besides that, I got hung up on Cooper and Liddell (thinking "Alice"). (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4433: Little tribute in this one. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4419: G ,am I the only one who doesn't get it? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4430: Not bad, but not enough answer recognition to make it fun. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4426: There is a difference between "parr" and "par" which might be important here. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4426: Easy I think. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Benevolent Elephants @ #4432: Geez, this is a tough one. So many herrings! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mr A @ #4430: It's not bad I suppose. But the fact that there are 2 Jacks in the grid, each of which is only correct for one group, is unacceptable (9 years, 6 months ago)

melanie @ #4409: Good wall, I forgot about Auf Wiedersehen Pet (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4419: Oversights? A section on bread not mentioning toast? Surely criminal! Seriously though this is fine apart from the problem of inexperience (?) in setting the parameters for the acceptable answers. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4418: The boom box did for me. Guess it is what they used to call a Brixton briefcase? Imaginative - I like it! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4418: Fun grid! Nice mix of connection styles, trickier than it looks. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Benevolent Elephants @ #4418: Quite tricky. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4427: Poor grid. Too easy and then terrible answer recognition. Must do better. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Benevolent Elephants @ #4419: Terrible answer terms, but amusing grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4419: Could've been a fun albeit easy grid, but marred by heinous oversights in the answer terms. Got all correct but only one was recognized. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4419: Please explain G..I am ignorant I guessed naan. (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4417: Got two lines pretty quickly but the Brussells link defeated me..nice one (9 years, 6 months ago)

Well Done @ #4416: More like this are very welcome. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4416: Liked this one (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2729: It's privilege.but good gridxx (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3144: That should have said shrouse! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3144: Shrouded,why? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4416: Lovely grid, laced with herrings. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4416: Good crossovers (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4414: I struggled (unsuccessfully -I'm just ignorant) with the games stuff but enjoyed the grid all the same (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4417: Very imaginative in parts. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2144: Wow,crossovers delectable! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1625: The CPI one is a tad obscure. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Good Grid @ #4414: Thank you. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4406: Replace the row of obscure tv programme with a row of general knowledge, and this would be a good grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4408: The "letters" row is weak. The error in spelling (ladel) rather wrecks the grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

C @ #2661: Nice variety and not too fiendish! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4395: So hard! But my obvious answer for the Wagg line wasn't accepted... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4403: Trickier than you might think! Nice. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4407: Must concur with the below. Puzz to the max, but two of these groups a proper stretch. Keep it up though, one of the puzzest grids around. (9 years, 6 months ago)

PinkHats @ #4414: Good grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4408: Fun grid, a little unexpected. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4414: Fun grid!thankyou! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4409: Top drawer. (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4407: Like to see someone trying to make grids tricky but perhaps a bit convoluted this time esp Prem captains which is very niche (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4409: Nice one (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4410: Decent grid but the Tennant line is just too complicated me thinks (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4406: Super intense puzz, though I must agree with @artie on the "great" malarkey. @kal's mastery of herrings continues unabated. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4034: Great stuff. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4408: Decent stuff - varied with a couple of crossovers. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #3979: Hard indeed. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4003: Tricksy (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4025: Yay! I completed one and got it all correct!! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Rubbish - pure rubbish. @ #4412: GO + xxx = just made up words. Dogs names connection is just preposterous. If the connection was "words I just thought of", I would at least have found that slightly amusing. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mr A @ #4399: I always appreciate the mix of types of groups, and high- and low-brow subjects, and that was achieved in the Mandela and cartoon bars groups, but I don't want to solve groups about STDs. It seems like some kind of obsession since there are 2 groups using them. It's kind of a saddening commentary on the general quality of grids here that STDs would be considered an appropriate answer in the STDs group. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mr A @ #4411: One of the most important things about these grids is that there is only one correct solution. That isn't the case here. Prince and Queen could easily switch groups. In addition, this grid has 3 basic or uninteresting groups and one which is far too esoteric for a general grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Well Done @ #4409: Clever. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4398: I liked the hidden currencies. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4407: I liked the cars. The football grounds were do-able though I only got a couple. The anagrams were too specialist in my opinion and you would do better to ease off a bit and be more accessible. That said it is a pretty decent grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

armyman @ #4411: Never seen so many spelling mistakes in one grid!!!! Get help or get lost! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Mrs T @ #4411: Although I got all four connections by chance, how the heck am I supposed to know pubs in Cambridge? (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4095: Very nice. I got the vowels immediately, also the islands, but didn't get the other two. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4105: Nice one. (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4114: Good grid, nice red herrings. (9 years, 6 months ago)

pandora @ #4116: Alec - so what? Great grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4116: Good grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4410: The david tennant row is clever but was very very hard for me. (9 years, 6 months ago)

AttackGay @ #4180: Very much enjoyed. Great grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4403: Nice grid - a bit cheeky with Ji but it caught me out so well done. (9 years, 6 months ago)

twa @ #4401: T (9 years, 6 months ago)

artie @ #4406: "great" inventors?? poorly contrived in general (9 years, 6 months ago)

pandora @ #4407: anagrams are not fiendish - they are ridiculous, especially when you look at the obscure footballers as well - utter shite - avoid at all cost!! in fact most of the connections are poorly manufactured. Sorry - you are trying too hard and failing (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #519: Could you please explain stock clue.? Brain freeze. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3135: I should have done better,it is clever though! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1793: Clever and educational!, (9 years, 6 months ago)

PinkHats @ #4398: Strength and spirit are not statistical attributes in the Pokmon games. (Strength is a move, but the attribute is ATK/attack. Spirit doesn't show up at all.) Please capitalize your entries consistently. Half the grid begins with a capital letter; half does not. The _____mouth group changes structure and word puzzles shouldn't do that. (i. e. loudmouth is one word, motor mouth and river mouth are each two words, and north doesn't even have mouth after it at all.) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2897: This was a great idea ! (9 years, 6 months ago)

PinkHats @ #4407: Anagrams for names are very fiendish indeed. My only suggestion: Two of the groups are premiership football related; maybe try to mix topics around. (9 years, 6 months ago)

sb @ #4363: typing "evolution" as a link gives the wrong answer :( (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4399: Indeed it was! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4403: Just the ticket! Well done. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4401: I guess you wanted to do a proper grid but didn't know hoes.sad. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FOOLS @ #4314: Good grid! You might want to check your answers, though; the animal noises group will accept any answer (like "a") as correct. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FOOLS @ #4316: I don't understand the 'for life' group (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #3361: Easiest grid yet. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2621: Extremely puzz grid. Bravo. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FOOLS @ #4334: Joe Satriani is extremely specific knowledge; far more than is standard for a wall. The other groups are all good. (And because I am very pedantic, please capitalize "Rage against the machine" properly.) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #2748: Lovely but junior grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #3712: Hampton had to guess this one. Excellent grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #1875: Safe grid but 'coding' not an option? For shame. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #238: @natalichka and @quodlibet agree top herrings. Sound grid all round. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #48: One of my most enjoyable grids to date. Top grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FOOLS @ #4357: Don't understand the group about not having a definitive ending. What does that mean? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4399: Decent grid! STDs was a good herring. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #3602: Weak grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FOOLS @ #4385: 'mammal anagrams' should be accepted. I should not have to say 'small' and 'British'. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FOOLS! @ #4397: Nice and difficult. Did not know David Bowie made a film called 'The Linguini Incident'. Suggestion: consistent capitalization to make things clearer. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4386: I think the deer instruction is to check we can read! In other words that we are people not machines. The same check is often done with numbers or words presented in unusual script. (9 years, 6 months ago)

xxxyyy @ #4400: A spam grid? What a waste of time (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4375: Maybe ser is a typo for set. That apart it is a fair grid but I agree the answers need to be more accepting. (9 years, 6 months ago)

CorenLuvva @ #4384: Superb grid. Nice to have something different! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4364: Sweet grid, except I entered a very plausible and frankly more popular alternative for the "ghost" connection and was rejected... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4384: Tried this a bit ago to no avail, but then read comments and was able to complete easily enough, but didn't guess the Tinsley connection (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4395: Yes,,fiendish fits the bill! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #3494: The "Bond" one doesn't really work. You need to have shortened versions which mean something different (rather than meaning nothing) so as to make the link less obvious. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #3509: Nice straightforward grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4393: No twists just didn't know enough about where they were all from...decent grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

ODESIW @ #1971: excellent. managed 10 out of 10 but needed all the time. more like this please (9 years, 6 months ago)

Hampton Quimbles @ #4383: This grid brought me literally minutes of joy whilst waiting for my ann summers catalogue to download off the interweb. However, I must protest re: links, since I clearly was correct in suggesting that 'muff' was the connexion in those last dirty four. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4385: Entering "payment" does not get you a bonus - plus I agree the description is poorly thought out Beak one is very hard, but agree that beak should not be part of it. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4388: Pretty tricky, but agree that Dave Matthews could have been replaced by someone slightly more well known.... (9 years, 6 months ago)

Quality @ #4388: Well thought out. (9 years, 6 months ago)

odesiw @ #4256: very good. especially liked the rivers. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Thankfully @ #4386: a puzzle comes along to challenge users. I think there is a case of misleading people (me anyway), as the solution to 33.33 group used fractions as opposed to decimals. (9 years, 6 months ago)

FORK ALL @ #4385: going for it, I'm afraid 4KAL. This was a poor grid. Another frustrating unimaginative grid where the exact same word is in a clue and a solution. "Beak is a beak". "An Orange is Orange" "DNA is related to DNA" etc. In your grouping of forms of payment, I can only agree with one - VOUCHER. You could argue the various definitions of BILL - one could be a banknote. (things put in a billfold) An invoice is usually a documentary request for payment, and issued to cover both parties accounting requirements. A RECEIpt is usually generated by someone who has RECEIved something. You can't use a bakery receipt to pay for anything of value. (9 years, 6 months ago)

El @ #4374: "divisible by ten" didn't work for 30-10-20-50 (9 years, 6 months ago)

Av and Kai @ #4310: Great Grid, love challenging the kids, had a right bit of banta! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4375: Took some thought !good grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2281: Why food ? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4372: Fiendish indeed! (9 years, 6 months ago)

derbydarren @ #4369: really liked this grid clever crossover in all 4 lines (9 years, 6 months ago)

lell @ #4354: Enjoyed it (9 years, 6 months ago)

Georgie @ #4369: Nice one! Agree re sable btw...it is a dark shade of grey (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4369: Sable...black is a shade of achromatic gray. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4365: It surprised me - there really is a bird named "powerful owl". That's Australia for you! I'm not convinced by the hosts. I think that there is overlap in the roles of a couple on each side. Also, I think maybe 4 of the 8 could be described as actors, leaving 4 hosts. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4367: Your answers are not general enough. You have four artists, four masculine names (which could probably have been characters in Poldark, amongst many other things), four gemstones. Mr Bungle doesn't really count as general knowledge. Imagine your own disgust if someone included a row of Blossom Dearie singles. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4369: So it is,have just looked it up,what a shame. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4369: Don't agree that your colours are all shades of grey. Sable is black... (9 years, 6 months ago)

AttackGay @ #4362: I typed 'Men Behaving Badly' as the link but it's come up as incorrect? Otherwise, good grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4362: This seems to duplicate 4361 (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4364: This is enjoyable though I would be wary of upsetting the Scots by spelling the name of their national drink the Irish way ( in your explanation ). Hope they won't notice! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4366: Hard to say, but I think it's about on par with the walls from the finals and semifinals from Only Connect. A team of three has a lot better chance with something like this, of course. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4359: Nicely constructed. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Really Tough @ #4366: Does anyone but you exist at the centre of the Venn diagram for this puzzle. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4369: Clever you! (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4366: Got the quiz shows but the rest escaped me...good challenge proper fiendish! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Googly @ #4350: Porterfield? Spelling error spoils otherwise tricky grid! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4367: Well made; I only managed 4/10, though (found 2 groups and 2 links). (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #792: Yes,,get lost is good red herring! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #1475: I agree,,that was a drag! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2655: The mouse and Aphrodite link was great!inspired. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3845: I sort of understand that. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3298: Yes, a delight! (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4366: Too tough for the average Brit but thanks for the cultural reach-out. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #3776: Maybe spelling, Jimbob. Palindromes? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4366: Indeed,fiendish for me! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4366: Could be Easy if you happen to know the categories, or Fiendish if you don't. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Ridiculous @ #4365: Using an adjective as vague as POWERFUL, in a group of 3 types of owl, just doesn't make any sense. Really poor. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Ridiculous @ #4365: Using an adjective as vague as POWERFUL, in a group of 3 types of owl, just doesn't make any sense. Really poor. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Disagree with @ #4365: inclusion of DEPOT in buildings group. Many things can be described as a depot, without ever being near a building. It comes from the word DEPOsiT, and does not have to have walls or roof. A goods train yard, a recycling bank, a landfill, an explosives cache; can all be described as a depot, and not a door required in any if them. (9 years, 6 months ago)

phdeirdre @ #4351: Agree with the others, overall a poor grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Sorry Jayem @ #4346: Have to disagree also. If a more specific connection applies, then it has to be the 1 that counts. On the TV show I distinctly remember "Surnames of actresses in Mad Men" & "Editors of Punch Magazine" being solutions. If a single word generic answer SURNAMES was accepted as an answer, the whole thing would descend into unsolvable farce. Also, unique solutions would become a thing of the past. e.g. G.1 = UK Prime Ministers, G.2 = Colours. If G.1 contained BROWN, and SURNAMES was accepted as a solution, then Black, Green or White from G.2 could be swapped with BROWN. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Deja Vu @ #4357: @ submitter - Why have you duplicated this puzzle? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Confused @ #4356: Scrappy and disjointed. Not sure I really agree with any of your groups or descriptions, but any arguments would be a pedantic waste of time on ambiguities and definitions. And let's be honest; the only one that works for praise is a sniffer dog. (etc.) (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #2193: The homonyms which should be homophones?are hopeless apart from naval,what was your idea here? (9 years, 6 months ago)

1 subject @ #4355: For specialists only. Yawn. (9 years, 6 months ago)

grim @ #4357: Not bad, but a few imperfections (could the group containing Finnegan's Wake be better-defined?) Apart from that it's on the easy side. (9 years, 6 months ago)

grim @ #4346: Jayem: I disagree. I mean, Only Connect walls frequently feature surnames which are not linked just by their being surnames. That is, for a category to be good, it should be specific, and therefore 'masculine names' is not a very good category. I would never have gotten the REM connection, it's just knowledge I don't have. Is that the grid at fault, or me? Or a bit of both? I think these first names are too generic to make a good category, and surnames have been better (I still wouldn't have known them but might have been able to make a guess.) Anyway. I'm overthinking. (9 years, 6 months ago)

toast @ #4351: Compared to a lot of grids lately this is not bad. At least it seems to be a genuine attempt and has some entertaining parts. (9 years, 6 months ago)

PeeGee @ #4353: Once the penny drops quite straight forward by excellent concept! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4358: Apart from an inkling about archbishops,this escaped me!good ideas though. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Clare? @ #4354: Great quiz! (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4357: Good grid,intresting (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4346: "Masculine names" should be accepted. An answer should be the only thing the 4 squares have in in common, or the most general thing. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Jayem @ #4354: Nice grid (9 years, 6 months ago)

Oddball @ #4353: Gosh,clever! (9 years, 6 months ago)

grim @ #4354: A good grid, satisfying to solve, with distinct, inventive categories and well-judged misleads. (9 years, 6 months ago)

grim @ #4351: A low-quality grid: misspellings, two categories of the fill-the-blank form (best only to have one), questionable categorization, and closely overlapping categories. Avoid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Not unique @ #4351: Kelvin and Celius (sic) can be swapped with Farenheit (sic), without changing the description of either group. Therefore the puzzle is not unique, and ignores one of the rules of this game. Also, Can't understand either why people take the time and effort to create a puzzle for members of the public to attempt, and then ruin them with multiple typos??? Celius isn't even phonetically correct, and the proper meaning cannot even be inferred by reading. As a result, people are inclined to look for hidden words, or anagrams. It's just cheap & lazy. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Clarey @ #4352: Fab quiz (9 years, 6 months ago)

12 surnames @ #4347: & 4 countries. Can anyone spot the 1st group?? (9 years, 6 months ago)

Alanis @ #4346: Morrisette taught us all that the opposite of INVITE is not in the group you say. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Duplicate clues @ #4344: Saw 2 x JOHNSON, and immediately closed it. I've no interest in this type of grid. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Middle School ??? @ #4339: I presume that you are currently attending this fine establishment Mr. R? A school name & your local beach names as solutions, kind of excludes the possibility of anyone outside your parish ever solving this grid. Being very polite and patient again here BTW. (9 years, 6 months ago)

Poor @ #4338: Really poor. Half a surname doesn't make any sense. Glass is a type of glass?? = Just ridiculous. Following trend of recent unimpressive groups (FYI, being polite here). Other examples that just make me shake my head are "DNA = assoc. with DNA" & "Orange = A thing that is orange" (9 years, 6 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4344: Interesting (and difficult) categories, but how are we supposed to know which Johnson is which? (9 years, 6 months ago)

WTF @ #4335: Are you for real with this rubbish? (9 years, 6 months ago)

faye @ #4217: I put pole for the green group and was given incorrect. And who has ever heard of sea glimpses? (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #291: The "Puck" group should accept "Shakespeare characters", otherwise it becomes "what answer am I thinking of?" (9 years, 7 months ago)

Gnome @ #4338: Don't get it! Half a last name?!!? (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #278: Think "Douglas Adams" should be fair game for the "Fish" group. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4321: Tree not accepted Very easy grid though - not too many red herrings (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4336: Huh? BANT?? Pane of death??? Pane of door? strange backwards words? really...... terrible. sorry :-( (9 years, 7 months ago)

melanie @ #4329: Triathlon - girl's name????? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Pandora @ #4035: Loved the puzzgrid reference multiple red herrings - ingenious (9 years, 7 months ago)

Gimlet @ #4033: Top class (9 years, 7 months ago)

Poldark @ #3991: This is the best grid EVER (9 years, 7 months ago)

Football @ #3990: grid - loved it, but very very hard (9 years, 7 months ago)

Poldark @ #3988: Two Pauls spoil an otherwise very interesting grid - shame really (9 years, 7 months ago)

Triomio @ #3985: Great grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4329: Great grid - I could see links that weren't even there! Tricky indeed (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4327: Agree with spangles You might as well have a grid with ABCD; 1234; Mon Tues, Wed, Thurs; John Paul George Ringo Waste of time really... sorry! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4329: Very hard,very clever,very neat! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3112: This defeated me,but it shouldn't have.a good grid. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #4321: "addicting drugs" and "painkillers" not accepted :-/ (9 years, 7 months ago)

macabaret @ #2494: Very good wall. I got the eponyms wrong, because I thought they all were german inventions! :D (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4327: There do need to be good quality easy grids like this. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4327: Very easy but still good quality. It's the kind of thing I'd use to introduce people to the grid idea. (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #4327: Perhaps for children? There are no red herrings, all the groups are very obvious... it's no fun if it's too easy. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Swag @ #4327: Brilliant grid. Try it! (9 years, 7 months ago)

macabaret @ #4211: Quality 1 star. The answer range is incredibly small. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4311: Faye, you can see the answers by going to the question mark under the word incorrect. It also works for correct answers. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4316: Good stuff. (9 years, 7 months ago)

dylan @ #4296: Insulting the player should disqualify you. Everyone has some things they don't know,that other people do. (9 years, 7 months ago)

dylan @ #4195: The vegetable category is too wide. Some are roots, some are leaves- not in same family,,what is the connection? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Bob Jones @ #3964: I put Spectres for the first one, I didn't want to put ghost in as it was already one of the tiles....stupid!!!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3026: Agree with Jules. It's a good grid and Velma should try easier. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Dylan @ #4238: Prince Philip is misspelt. If one of the words is incorrect, it ruins the logic of the whole grid. You don't know if the wrong spelling is a clue in itself. (9 years, 7 months ago)

tripe @ #2216: Fully agree that this is the worst grid I've ever seen. (9 years, 7 months ago)

NigelH @ #4175: Far too easy to solve. Search engines and NBA teams give an incorrect answer but are the answers given. Daft! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #4308: i enjoyed this grid. quality, thanks (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3714: @ben - isn't that the point, to pick words with multiple meaning so as to misdirect? Thought this was generally good, though not accepting the answer 'fish' for the fish group was somewhat mean. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4246: Good (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4235: Excellent, though pink group perhaps too obscure. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4277: Good one. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4313: Not so difficult, but entertaining. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4279: Excellent, though I thought that my answer " queen's grandchildren" was perfectly correct. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4282: Nice. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4287: Good, but it's Hurricane, not Hurricane. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4299: Bit mean refusing "dates of regnal ascencions" on date answers! (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4300: Plenty of red herrings! Good. (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4311: I would like to see the answers when I've not got them right! (9 years, 7 months ago)

faye @ #4314: Average difficulty. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4314: Very impressive. Good use of red herrings and all accessible without too much special knowledge. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4308: Great red herrings and good variety. Well done. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Peegee @ #4311: Cross of St Andrews not flag.... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4313: It's a good grid, by the way! I enjoyed sorting it out. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4313: KarinaVedel, you probably put an extra comma after the last keyword. For instance, if you had typed in "pro, noun, name," (with the extra comma at the end), then it would do what it's doing - allowing anything as a match. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Nigelh @ #581: Terrible! sp words! 'Blood simple' what is that? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Nigelh @ #587: Excellent! Plenty of cross overs, but solvable. (9 years, 7 months ago)

KarinaVedel @ #4314: I especially liked the one with the animal sounds! Very nice! ;) (9 years, 7 months ago)

Odd wall @ #4313: It is a good wall,well done! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #806: Why? (9 years, 7 months ago)

pried @ #4309: OK, but very easy. Good. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Not accepted @ #4311: I do not accept the group with the flag of St Andrew as an answer. Jamaica's flag is black, yellow & green, Burundi's flag is red, white & green, with 3 hexagonal stars (stars of David) in the centre. By your logic (i.e. disregard colour and use shape alone) The flags of Ireland, Italy, France & Belgium (tricolours) all match. So do Russia, Netherlands & Luxembourg. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4303: Unfortunately, whenever you get 2x groups of countries, there's always more than one solution. Same with names. Nice idea - and I like the ideas behind the official groupings - but it doesn't really work in practice. (9 years, 7 months ago)

1 of the better @ #4308: ones, seen in a while. Hadn't heard of 2 of the GO category clues. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4309: Good one. "Maiden" confused me although I did eventually figure out that group, just couldn't see why that one belonged. Had to look it up after. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #1470: Happy to do this! (9 years, 7 months ago)

C @ #4271: Don't believe greave is ancient roman! The may have used similar protection but the word is probable middle English (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2489: Two categories hard outside US? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr A @ #4306: They're really just big cats. Expecting people to connect them to American sports is a bit much. Other than that, a pretty good grid. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr A @ #4297: 4 vaguely defined and oddly denoted groups. I'm gonna take a wild guess that the person who made this grid is in the early years of high school based on the level of science being deployed here. The group with light in it also has an alternative answer in that they are all things humans can sense/ respond to changes in. See previous comments for my complaints about use of DNA as connected to DNA, sweet fruits not being a term I have ever heard used before, spelling and thinking tomatoes are vegetables. (9 years, 7 months ago)

KarinaVedel @ #4297: A tomato is not a vegetable. - and you miss-spelled "vegetables" so it gives and incorrect, when you put in the connection. As far as I know "sweet fruit" isn't a real term for a group of fruits, so writing "fruit" should have been enough (obviously that also resulted in an incorrect) I'm not really a fan of the words to connect just being random clues about the thing they connect - not to mention the fact that the connection is one of the words... (9 years, 7 months ago)

KarinaVedel @ #299: The only connection I didn't get was the "father _" ...who is father Ted? A character on a British show, perhaps? =) Still good though! ;) (9 years, 7 months ago)

KarinaVedel @ #2312: Very nice! (9 years, 7 months ago)

KarinaVedel @ #40: Super tough! I thought of Doctor Who connections, Harry Potter connections, Sherlock Holmes connections and even Carry On connections, however I still didn't find the right combos... Really nice job! =P (9 years, 7 months ago)

dotty @ #4296: so chlorine is a metal now? IDIOT (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4301: Wow!hard! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #112: But first kiss does have identity as idea? (9 years, 7 months ago)

RogerE @ #3202: "To do with Aliens" is pretty vague, I can see how Predator and Weaver might relate to Aliens but the other two items? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Alison @ #3892: This is how you spell 'Vodafone'. Why is 'Lib Dem leaders' incorrect? (9 years, 7 months ago)

12 words @ #4299: and 4 numbers. Show to anyone, who speaks any language, and ask them to find a group of 4. Not tough. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Poor @ #4298: Really poor. Group called 'HAPPYNESS' (sic), with HAPPY as an entry. Laugh and laughter is a poor pair of entries, really unimaginative. Group called slang, with an entry called slang?? WTF? LOL is not slang. YOLO is not slang. They are abbreviations for normal words. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Poor @ #4297: 4 spelling mistakes is sloppy. Tomato is a type of fruit, which invalidates your vegtables (sic) group. And I do not like the new trend of making an answer, the same as 1 of the clues. DNA here, and "Orange, a thing that is orange" in a recent puzzle. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4182: Very tough but tantalisingly I found a couple of groups of three but not the fourth. Different as well as difficult. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4196: Tough but good. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #3714: Took just 5 seconds to give up on this. "Chromosones" killed it for me. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #4299: There are 4 years, and there are 4 castles. If you want answers more specific than that you should change at least 1 of each set.t (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4287: Good one (9 years, 7 months ago)

You are? @ #4293: Hi I am. You are? here. Are you there? I LIKE TRAINS TOO. Let's be friends? Making friends who also like trains is a lot more interesting than this grid isn't it ? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Yes, @ #4296: everyone who visits this site is an IDIOT. It's the main thing we have in common. You've found our secret and exposed us for what we really are. In a puzzle that contained at least 3 x 4 groups of metals, we are the IDIOTs for reading an answer, that they are all metals I presume. Take your endless list of 16 elements and chemistry connections, and shove them along with your anal knowledge of metal types, where the sun don't shine. For, and on behalf of everybody, No.1 IDIOT.

Germanium Germanium @ #4295: So stuck for a 4th answer was I, they named it twice.??? WTF? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Rubbish - pure rubbish. @ #4294: - Select all 4 shapes and dimensional clues. - Select all 4 remaining items not listed on periodic table. - Select 4 x inert gases. Job Done. And get a bloody dictionary. I spotted 4 spelling mistakes. Misspelled words make people think it is a word / anagram connection. This is just lazy. Plain & simple. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Rubbish - pure rubbish. @ #4292: 1. Select all 4 colours. 2. Select 4 ending in same 2 letters. 3. Select 4 starting with lower case letter. Job done. 2 other points - How can 4 gases be reactive, if they are all inert? - H2O and water are listed in the same group? (9 years, 7 months ago)

You clearly aren't geekyyyyyyy, because 1) We geeks (and I do mean we) know the appropriate number of 'y's to use and 2) We have a certain amount of passion that means we would never put even a pseudonym to crap like this. Far be it for me to comment on your intelligence, but any you might have is clearly being wasted. I can't decide if it annoys me more that you did this, or that you crapped out on the chicks/chickens. If you're gonna make a shitty grid, commit to it! Bitching over. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Easy @ #4269: Agree with Jayem & Oddball. No crossovers and can be easily deduced to 4 x 4, without knowing any of the solutions. 4 x multiples 4 x male forenames 4 x portable objects 4 x whatever's left. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #4179: Nice straightforward grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4242: tricky, fun... (9 years, 7 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4217: Why is nobody commenting on 'Sea Glimpses'? Perhaps I'm the only one who hasn't stayed in this particular Bed and Breakfast? Am I missing something clever? It's very unlikely! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4246: Nice one! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4253: Hard but enjoyable! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #386: Gosh,hard for me indeed! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4188: Nice grid - but bonuses are ridiculously narrow on two of the categories (Lola, Autumn Leaves) which spoil it somewhat (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3387: Indeed,very good crossovers. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2274: Very good crossovers! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2301: Good apart from abbreviations,too guessable maybe. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4253: Just noticed rating has changed to fiendish,very wise. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4253: I found this hard,but good ideas! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #4203: Revolutions - too easy. Bases - too obscure: Eurovision? Wasn't Korea a dispute with China, not USSR? (9 years, 7 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4226: Ok, so perhaps 'South American cities' would be a better title for the group, but I can't see why that matters in the slightest. It's a good grid with some clever crossovers. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #4196: No, the criteria have changed in recent years. Sunderland and Brighton, for instance, have been given city status. They don't have cathedrals. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Emma @ #4154: I was disappointed that 'cooking methods' wasn't accepted, since they were mostly specific different ways of cooking as opposed to just synonyms for heating. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Emma @ #4136: Quite tough but incredibly satisfying. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4188: Good idea (but the songs are REALLY good) (9 years, 7 months ago)

Emma @ #4195: This is the best one I have played yet, very well thought out with a few red herrings just like on the show. Good work! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Emma @ #4196: If using the common criteria as to what defines a city, technically they all have cathedrals. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #190: Liked this one. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Stregarthan @ #206: Kit, and things that can be inflated both came up as wrong answers. Need to be a bit more flexible. Otherwise, good. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr A @ #4238: It's not really a face interview, more face-to-face. Also, John and Adam both fit in both the Disney and Bible groups, so they're interchangeable. Other than that, OK. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr A @ #4239: Lazy (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr A @ #4240: I hate to pile on the criticism, but all countries was an interesting idea. I was looking at things like new countries (South Sudan, Czech Republic etcetera) and much more interesting connections. 4-letter capitals was the lamest one for me, but the fact that they're all about capitals was annoying and kinda lazy. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2718: Red herrings? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2335: Not preceded,followed by? (9 years, 7 months ago)

dierdre @ #4230: Please use words!! Phar and Mul are just groups of letters. Stretch yourself!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

dierdre @ #4237: Maybe give better, explained, answers?!!? (9 years, 7 months ago)

woowoo @ #4074: It wouldn't take 'wobble' or 'archery':-( (9 years, 7 months ago)

woowoo @ #4089: I think it should be Ockendon as well:-) (9 years, 7 months ago)

elvis @ #4244: In fact, just football clubs would be OK. Maybe throw another one in?? (Not York City!!) Easy one. Enjoyed it. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Gertrude @ #4246: Don't think this is fiendish! But some good ideas. (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #3871: What's the other pronunciation of mine? Other than to rhyme with 'fine'? (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #3892: "Torchwood characters" should be acceptable. It's more accurate than the given answer. (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #3924: Well, I got the letter swap group - though it seemed like a weird thing to do. However, you'll accept London hill, yet not "hills in london"? wtf? (9 years, 7 months ago)

mark smith @ #2661: Great grid. Enjoyed that one (9 years, 7 months ago)

Eh? @ #3912: "Dark brown" and "nut brown" are both Browns, as are Gordon and Charlie. Good grid, clever. Unsure what So Good is criticising. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Novak @ #3871: Don't agree with you, Unimpressed, but thanks for the feedback... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Non Londoners @ #4183: While it is a perfectly legit grid, unless you know London, there's no way to get it. I think there's too much going on with the UG in this grid. (9 years, 7 months ago)

A Cat @ #4223: Ragdoll as lovely - they are huge and flop in your arms when you hold them - hence ragdoll (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4235: Very hard! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4237: Oh dear,not that bad ,ashilsshit,surely! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Some guy @ #48: Not bad, but I found the "nuclear" group using "time" as a suffix, the ambiguity shouldn't really be possible (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4240: Agree,,frustrating grid. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Breadth of Knowledge @ #4240: This is what is required to complete a really good / fiendish grid on this site, or the television. This puzzle, and your previous entry #4239, were all compiled from an atlas index. 2 Matrices of 16 containing common items, that needed to be decoded, in the hope of finding something to connect them. Beginning and ending in the same letter, is just lame and makes your attempts unsolvable and unlikeable. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Plimpy Group @ #4235: let the whole puzzle down. Nobody knows this, and nobody will get it. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Stupid grid. @ #4233: Solved in seconds. 1. equals 11 2. multiples of 10 3. Arithmetic operators. No solutions give. Complete waste of time. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Well Done @ #4226: Like the others, just wanted to say that this is definitely one of the better ones, and the remarks from Anon seem to be unnecessarily venomous. Mallorca, St. Croy, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Kosovo all have capital cities, while not being independent sovereign nations. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Never heard of it @ #4223: A ragdoll cat?? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Deja Vu @ #4217: 4 x 4 prefixes / suffixes. How novel?! Yawn (9 years, 7 months ago)

Hate these types @ #4213: Plain and simple. Didn't even try it. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Cold War Leader @ #4199: also worked for the Flying Squad in Scotland Yard during the 1970's. Vientam, Brittain, elemants. 4 spelling mistakes in 1 puzzle. You take the Razzie. (9 years, 7 months ago)

allOver @ #4217: All had the same answer type - Words followed by. There wasnt much variety in type of connection basically (9 years, 7 months ago)

allOver @ #491: Very fiendish one - Remembering how many each of the things have. Almost overwhelming (9 years, 7 months ago)

someone @ #4240: too hard buddy (9 years, 7 months ago)

Deja Vu @ #4166: 4 x Related Prefixes. Fully agree with Wolfdog below. No clues should be interchangeable between sets. This is one of the criteria set down in the original episodes of the TV show, and should be followed. Swapping of pairs should stop at least 1 group being correct. (9 years, 7 months ago)

amateurquizzer @ #4239: I was about to lose my head over the Tuvalu debacle, but I accept your apology, sheepish though it may be. Quite fun for the geog-muncher! (9 years, 7 months ago)

8 x ______Berry @ #4158: Really?? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Deja Vu @ #4156: 4 x opposing prefixes & suffixes. How novel. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Really? @ #4213: This is the same exact grid as 4214. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Blanche @ #4239: Tuvalu should be Funafuti - sorry :( (9 years, 7 months ago)

ashisshit @ #4237: u suck. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Press F7 @ #4095: Spellcheck the placenames before submission (9 years, 7 months ago)

Made Up Words @ #4093: If you can't find a fourth, just make one up. What is a NARWHALE? What are sigils? I also second LVGBoxhead below - Slight?? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Blanche @ #4235: Excellent. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4234: Nice! Knew some straight away, was able to figure out others. (9 years, 7 months ago)

No-one knows this @ #4022: 4 x Bass Players from King Crimson. Not even the submitter. I smell Wikipedia all over this one. (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #3964: The name of the musical is not "Oliver Twist". It's "Oliver!" (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kalina @ #4234: "We kicked ourselves over the last one" -Kalina (9 years, 7 months ago)

spangles @ #3972: Won't allow "sewing anagrams"...? Harsh. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Hate Typos @ #4014: Boswer. A quick check before submitting, stops others thinking its a word clue / hidden word / anagram, etc. (9 years, 7 months ago)

ashisshit @ #4230: ur shit (9 years, 7 months ago)

One @ #3991: of the best so far. (9 years, 7 months ago)

16 the same @ #3990: Yuck. Closed it immediately (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4233: Am I being totally thick? I don't understand the key words tho I solved grid. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Good Grid @ #3988: but spoilt by duplicates. PAUL MICK MICHAEL (9 years, 7 months ago)

Agree with @ #3978: HughHugh & PhDelia. Once one was spotted, 16 were spotted. Even then, without overlaps or multiple answers, it turned into easy straight away. (9 years, 7 months ago)

And the answer is.. @ #3970: words that are compound words, but really aren't compound words at all. Nobody got this. Nobody. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Unimpressed @ #3945: Me again, and finding more faults. Stallone was not in VERTICAL LIMIT. He was in a mountaineering film called Cliffhanger. A little fact checking would help, prior to submission. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Unimpressed @ #3943: Hate to criticise contributors who are trying, but your grids frustrate me. Are "GO" and "CHEAP" really the only 2 words you could find to complete the set? Because the results are poor. Simply cannot agree with "Synonyms for Side" as an answer. At best it's very ambiguous. At worst it's just plain wrong. Geometrically, an EDGE is where 2 SIDEs meet. A Cube has 6 SIDEs, 8 corners & 12 EDGEs. If I use FACE and SIDE as verbs - To SIDE with 1 person P.O.V. in a debate/fight, is to FACE another. This makes them opposites, not synonyms. Sorry, but it's just not definitive enough IMO. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Improvement @ #3927: Better than your previous attempts, but let down by "tube" and "L.O.L" (9 years, 7 months ago)

1 Good group @ #3924: The rest was just rubbish. 1. Random disparate pairs of words, and swap initials. I guarantee you that no-one got this. 2. Swapping breakfast, with any of the other meals, results in at least 4 solutions - totally defeating the purpose of trying to solve them in the first place. Go back to the beginning, and try and stay within the criteria of the game. (9 years, 7 months ago)

2pak @ #4226: I thought it was an excellent grid. I find Anon's complaints to hold no value or credibility. Dependencies and territories still have capitals. The issue about US Film Awards being obscure... well that would make up for all the British-centric grids that are up here all the time. Well done Ashroolz on the this grid. Keep it up! (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4225: Oddball - wonder if the setter is a northerner! Try pronouncing "luck" as if you're from Yorkshire. (9 years, 7 months ago)

So good @ #3912: , right up until "DARK" and "NUT". Could do better if you spent a few extra minutes on your homework. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4226: Wow, mean comments. Genuinely don't understand Anon's issue. I thought this was a genuinely brilliant grid. Hard enough to be a challenge but not impossible. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Chairman of the bored. @ #3906: Just boring. All agreed. Let's move on. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Not great @ #3904: Solution for clue " C ", made me shake my head and say WTF? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr B @ #3895: agree with Mr A (9 years, 7 months ago)

Translate @ #3887: What currency into English to give pound? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Minor Characters @ #3885: Never read a HP book, but saw all 8 films. Never heard of any of them. Saw all Friends episodes (including loads of repeats) - only remember 1 of 4. Not exactly general knowledge. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Unimpressed @ #3871: Words with multiple meanings & pronunciations are essential elements to the clues in all of these puzzles. Are characteristics that make them essential, now to be considered as the solutions also? It's a lazy group with a poor answer IMO. (9 years, 7 months ago)

amateurquizzer @ #4230: i can confirm that you do indeed 'rool' (9 years, 7 months ago)

amateurquizzer @ #4226: I quite enjoyed this, tough though it was. True the capitals weren't exactly on point but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that there were only FOUR actual cities on there. I've definitely heard of the Oscars and Satellite Awards, not sure about the others but a good deal of guessing got me there, haha! (9 years, 7 months ago)

ashroolz @ #4227: Right on Kenny! I have been lucky (or unlucky haha!) enough to own quite a few of these cars in my time, and that certainly helped. Fun for the keen motorist and Sunday driver alike ;) (9 years, 7 months ago)

Multiple Answers @ #3845: There is only supposed to be one unique set of 4 x 4. While red herrings are essential, if they can be swapped around between sets, then it is not unique. Any of the rivers can easily be swapped with Mersey, without effecting the groups, and result in multiple solutions. (9 years, 7 months ago)

ashroolz @ #4228: tricksy (9 years, 7 months ago)

goj @ #2070: Didn't accept Pigs for the Po-po category. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #1726: Hard for me! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4225: Not sure about the misspelled category - what is spi? At least the other misspellings were words... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4227: Nice and easy - and I am not into cars at all. I liked it - well done! Ignore Blanche - if you open a grid and it doesn't interest you, don't play it and don't leave undeserved negative feedback (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2000: Completely did for me.but very good! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #4226: "Capitals of South America"?! Are you having a laugh?! Even someone with a rudimentary knowledge of geography can see this is a load of hokum. Two of them aren't even the capitals of official countries! I am utterly disappointed by this attempt at wit and originality. And the US Film Awards? Such obscure material clearly comes from the mind of Wikipedia, not an amateur quizzer. Better luck next time, Ash. You do not "roolz" (9 years, 7 months ago)

Blanche @ #4227: Way too hard for the non-petrolhead! I don't know what this girl thinks she was doing (yes, it's clearly a woman!), but this quiz is a load of rubbish! I am frankly baffled by her choice of subject, when she obviously knows squat about automobiles. Even I, as a non-specialist, can see she is way outta left field with this one! Better luck next time, JMSN. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Congrats @ #3712: Well put together. Was sure Plummer was Christopher, and ignored it. Tampered & Travolta group is very clever. (9 years, 7 months ago)

4 points for nothing. @ #3694: 1. Select 4 x plurals. 2. Select 4 x Male forenames 3. Select 4 of 5 colours. Correct on 2nd go. All over in 12 seconds. Connections - could be anything, as I didn't read through the boxes. Not a good puzzle. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #1535: Liked this one! Disagree with elvis, wave one was the best (9 years, 7 months ago)

This takes the prize @ #3671: for the most disappointing grid in more that 3600. Anagrams mistyped, which totally defeats the point of an anagram. Cromwell was never king. Read a book. No-one has ever heard of a indie sandbox game. (ever, full stop, no arguments) Come back after you're shaved your mousEtache a few times. (9 years, 7 months ago)

peggy @ #24: actors in hustle not accepted (9 years, 7 months ago)

Cat @ #3663: let you down. Agree with Jill & Mr. A below. "Owns" or "Cans" could easily be substituted, to remove ambiguity. Otherwise, well done. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Car / Aircraft @ #3552: Aircraft / Car. Which is right, which is wrong. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Big Improvement @ #3533: on your previous entry. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Poor @ #3527: Don't like these types. 16 items with something in common. Not unique, as pairs can easily be swapped. At least 2 spelling mistakes, just screams careless. On the plus side, if it is your 1st, keep trying. Take your interest (in food sundries) and develop it. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4195: Great stuff! (9 years, 7 months ago)

@Vanilla @ #3520: There is only supposed to be 1 solution. Red Herrings are an essential part of this game, and are what make it interesting. However, if 2 from one grid can be swapped with 3 from another, this leads to a minimum of 6 correct answers, and defeats the purpose of trying to solve something that is meant to be unique.

LVGboxhead @ #4191: Good one. (9 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4187: Churchill from Brighton? Did I miss an episode? (9 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4183: I'm sure it's a perfectly valid grid, but it's probably of little/no interest to non-Londoners. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2868: Nice one,good red herrings! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #1122: Surely Iona is a Scottish Island? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #208: Two rows have only three matching squares. 'Marble' and 'theory' don't fit with the others. Pity. (9 years, 7 months ago)

So easy @ #2235: No overlaps, solved in seconds. (9 years, 7 months ago)

The Irish have played. @ #2234: You are sofa king wrong in so many ways. Quote "Members of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain" - It's 1 kingdom, singular. - Great Britain = England, Scotland & Wales - UK = England, Scotland, Wales & NORTHERN Ireland. Read a fa king book written after 1920. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Saw two boxes @ #2226: that were identical, and immediately closed it. Hate these ones. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Terrible grid @ #2216: One of the worst grids I've tried. Like Colin, I'm no wiser after seeing answers. The connections exist in your head only. (9 years, 7 months ago)

So Lame @ #2187: it can only walk in circles. Letter Pattern ??? double letters ??? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #204: This was such a nice easy, well-made grid that I didn't have time to notice the spelling mistakes. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #1383: Very hard, even from uk ,tho bit inebrebriated! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4182: I couldn't find the groups, but figuring out the links was very enjoyable. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3438: Memetics is a whole field of scientific study - Richard Dawkins being one of its early proponents. A meme (pronounced 'meem' to rhyme with 'gene') is an idea or behaviour which spreads by imitation through a culture. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4182: Wow... impossible, brilliant, different (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #157: A poor grid. Appeals only to the setter. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3213: Different,fun. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Stupid grid. @ #2046: Needs a quick double tap with a g lock ass hole. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Quite @ #2021: Clever (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4172: I think Wolfdog made a fair point. There should of course be red herrings but there should only be one possible correct solution. It is still a very enjoyable grid. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #79: Hard but fair! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #78: Nicely put together (9 years, 7 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4182: Whilst triad is a generic reference used in the West to describe Chinese organised crime gangs, The Gang of Four (simplified Chinese: ˰; traditional Chinese: ˎ; pinyin: Srn bng) was a political faction composed of four Chinese Communist Party officials. They came to prominence during the Cultural Revolution (1966C76) and were later charged with a series of treasonous crimes. The gang's leading figure was Mao Zedong's last wife Jiang Qing. The other members were Zhang Chunqiao, Yao Wenyuan, and Wang Hongwen. With access to the internet, there is no reason to ask silly questions like yours. (9 years, 7 months ago)

2pak @ #4182: Isn't a Chinese gang a "triad" and not a gang of four? (9 years, 7 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4156: What alternative group of four contains 'tools'? (9 years, 7 months ago)

poor @ #1986: just poor. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Cragrat @ #4177: Answers much too specific! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4178: Tricky - especially if you don't know US sports Some inventive categories - nice one (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4179: I don't have a thimble in mine.... Liked the grid - thanks (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4182: Not for me... Redhead's biggest hit? Limb terminal? Tenuous and impenetrable. Either the work of a genius or a loony! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2129: Tell me, what is rubber puck?have I missed something obvious? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4182: Gosh,fiendish,imaginative and ingenious! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Spellcheck @ #1973: You should look up some info, before posting. The spelling of the skynyrd clue, excludes it from this group. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Not a Psych Student @ #1839: Such a narrow themed specialist subject of medicine and psychology, will only be satisfying to those that have studied it. None of them will find it hard or fiendish. I have at least attempted each of the hard and fiendish grids, until I came across your entries. Sad really that such obvious knowledge could not be used to challenge a more typical fan of this site. (9 years, 7 months ago)

robincac @ #4149: I am with the others a nice grid spoilt by too specific answers cream, saddle, diamond, hair all wrong but actually right. (9 years, 7 months ago)

AManInTweed @ #4181: grrr.... The cakes totally threw me! Good job (9 years, 7 months ago)

AManInTweed @ #4172: Thought "counties that no longer exist" was a bit harsh. Great grid, though (9 years, 7 months ago)

AManInTweed @ #98: Excellent Grid. Threw me for a while (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4002: Aunt and ant? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4177: Female singers not accepted... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Pat Myself On The Back @ #3329: I knew all of them.. apart from none of them. I wanted to let you all know that. Also, I found the deer. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #27: Hair cloth??! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #27: Hair cloth??! (9 years, 7 months ago)

robincac @ #4172: good grid - nice cul de sacs (9 years, 7 months ago)

robincac @ #4174: nice but spoilt by picky answers- salad not accepted, Roman emperors not accepted (9 years, 7 months ago)

robincac @ #4175: a bit picky on the answers it accepted, otherwise great. (9 years, 7 months ago)

robincac @ #4176: although it caught me out nearly completely I really enjoyed it. A good combination of 'near misses'! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Patrick @ #4151: Bonebreak? Really? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Cordova @ #4175: search engines and NBA teams aren't marked as correct (9 years, 7 months ago)

truly @ #1686: stupid. Especially "DRUG", which is the past tense of nothing !! (9 years, 7 months ago)

pure @ #1658: rubbish. P?? O?? (9 years, 7 months ago)

worst @ #1564: yet (9 years, 7 months ago)

Infinite @ #1546: multiples of 7 and prime numbers, but you duplicated them. Very lazy and unimaginative. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #4156: Too many permutations. Also, it's possible to produce variant correct rows, and still have 4 correct rows. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jayem @ #4171: Poor grid. Line 1 answer is incorrect, and 3 + 4 are too esoteric. (9 years, 7 months ago)

janice @ #3361: love this game (9 years, 7 months ago)

Patrick @ #4165: Bit on the easy side.. (9 years, 7 months ago)

2pak @ #4167: Which actor with a surname Archer played a Star Trek captain? There was a Captain Jonathan Archer but that was the name of the character and not the actor. (9 years, 7 months ago)

alf @ #4115: fiendish (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #2096: Think this was a fun grid,liked the revolutions. (9 years, 7 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4156: Toast, well dhur!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4167: too lowbrow for me! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4171: Too hard and bizarre for me! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4174: oh dear... entering roman emperors draws a blank even when the answer given is roman emperors :-( and yes, spelling of Caesar is incorrect easy grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4175: entering search engines draws a blank when when the answer given is search engines apart from that - a nice easy grid - thanks!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4176: Nice medium grid Answering "metal" alone does not get you the bonus.. :-( (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4166: For an example where crossovers are done well, have a look at #1396 (puzzgrid.com/grid/1396). At first glance, "full" looks like it could go with the other phases of the moon, and "queen" and "king" look like they could go with the other chess pieces. But if you try to go either of those routes, you'll find that you can't complete four groups, so it's possible to back up and figure out where they really belong. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4155: Top notch! Clever and fun. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #483: Wow,very hard forme! (9 years, 7 months ago)

asdf @ #4166: I get what you're saying Wolfdog, but not sure I completely agree... you're right that having the groups be completely distinct would make for a great grid, but I don't think it is a necessity for a grid to be fun still. (9 years, 7 months ago)

asdf @ #4172: Wolfdog, that is the point -- if it was just 4 sets of 4 with no potential overlaps then it would be far too easy. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Ryan Parsons @ #2518: We're not American (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4175: A good one on the easier side of things. Nice! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4172: Pretty good grid, but it seems to be ambiguous, in that "abyssinia" could be swapped with "persia" or "burma" to get different groupings that are still consistent with your four links. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4166: No, the point of the game is to have a grid that can be reasoned out logically; there should be only one way to separate the clues into four groups. Otherwise, it's a guessing game. Cross-over clues which *look* as if they could belong in more group make the puzzle more interesting, but there has to be an underlying reason why they go in one group and not the other. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4175: Hadn't heard of lays crisps,,.. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4174: I think it's spelt Caesar? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4172: Countries were difficult to separate! Good grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4170: Two grids the same? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4166: But,Wolfdog,isn't that the point of the game? (9 years, 7 months ago)

adam @ #1945: haha hampir aja game over pas tinggal 1 live lagi.. lumayan her.. (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4151: 'jack' / 'dark' not accepted answers (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4152: Doesn't accept a broad enough range of answers generally, eg: "harry potter" not accepted for the Harry Potter group. Also Rebeus should be Rubeus. Good grid generally though, I liked the magazines one, which I didn't get then kicked myself (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jam @ #4079: Total rubbish (9 years, 7 months ago)

Jam @ #4079: Total rubbish (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4166: I don't see why, for instance, "letter" and "pepper" couldn't exchange places; they both work in each other's categories. Same with "rose" and "wine". Or "whale" and "collar". (9 years, 7 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4165: Ahhhh, the Crystal Maze... I got that group instantly, with a smile :) (9 years, 7 months ago)

Patchouli @ #3991: mind blowing... well done. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4166: seemingly endless possibilities of connections - fiendish indeed! (9 years, 7 months ago)

2pak @ #4166: Mind blown. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4166: Great fun,lots of red herrings, but neat solutions! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #1548: Top grid! I remember Catch Kandy - loved it! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Portcullis @ #4034: Tricky but ingenious! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4164: Cunning! Excellent grid! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Anton @ #1548: Re your question about "Catch Kandy" - no I don't remember it! Decent grid though. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4165: I liked this one - an easy 7/10 for me, but I'd never heard of the answer for the "Ocean" group (not a well-known thing in the US, I think) (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4164: Good red herrings.swiss connection fiendish indeed! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4165: Billie Piper?am I being pedantic?or mistaken?but good grid otherwise... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3764: Agree that red herrings are vital.,otherwise no real fun or point! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Phyl @ #4163: monothematic, hard (9 years, 7 months ago)

Alec @ #4116: Nearly all collective nouns are bogus - usually dreamed up by some 1930s hack (9 years, 7 months ago)

Aundre @ #1497: Inenillgetce and simplicity - easy to understand how you think. (9 years, 7 months ago)

asdf @ #4149: Ditto the previous comments -- annoying when you know the answers and you don't get the points (9 years, 7 months ago)

asdf @ #4158: Nice grid... now I need a drink (9 years, 7 months ago)

I Concur @ #1367: with Oh Deer. Gases just not accurate, for starters. (9 years, 7 months ago)

pandemonium @ #3991: loved this grid! well done! (9 years, 7 months ago)

pedant @ #3985: hugely enjoyable grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

Gregory @ #3988: cool grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

All U Need @ #1324: to contribute to this site, is a single wikipedia page and the name of an obscure sport 0/5 (9 years, 7 months ago)

mevalin @ #4160: Villette is a place (fictional) not a woman (9 years, 7 months ago)

trevor @ #3991: brill (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4160: Very tricky - only got one line, and only two connections. One or two of the links are very tenuous/expansive - (Administrative areas!) but a good grid nonetheless! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4163: Loved it - thought I knew the connections but couldn't piece them together! Didn't get any and ran out of time - then the penny dropped! Top grid! (9 years, 7 months ago)

pandemonium @ #4034: lots of dead ends - but all comes together in the end...somehow clever grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

Treasure @ #4035: Entertaining! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4161: Solved the grid but was stumped on one of the connections Good grid! (9 years, 7 months ago)

LVGboxhead @ #4161: A good grid, but rather specialist; not accessible to Joe Public. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4096: Amusing, and clever - well done!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

TheDrowners @ #4115: Beat me! Clever grid (9 years, 7 months ago)

TopicalAngel @ #4116: ACE! (9 years, 7 months ago)

TheDrowners @ #4117: Apart from the two La clues - this was excellent (9 years, 7 months ago)

topicalAngel @ #4046: really great - hard though! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4155: really nice grid! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4162: Agree with answer recognition - very strict I put in Charlie Chocolate Willy Wonka - got nothing! Also, entered surname of someone and got nothing either but I liked the grid a lot! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Frank @ #3885: Nice (9 years, 7 months ago)

Fonty @ #4162: Nice use of red herrings. Answer recognition could be tweaked as it seems to only accept very specific words and denied me two that I actually had guessed (9 years, 7 months ago)

Stuss @ #4162: Tinnef (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3775: Should be share and shear? (9 years, 7 months ago)

2pak @ #4155: Excellent! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Mr A @ #4158: That was a very cleverly conceived grid. Kudos. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Andy @ #4096: Nice, although "lgbt musicians" counted as incorrect (9 years, 7 months ago)

melanie @ #4160: Has anyone ever read Pamela?? (9 years, 7 months ago)

Billyboy @ #491: Nice one! (9 years, 7 months ago)

df @ #4158: neat grid, was a bit disappointed with one answer format that deprived me of full points... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4160: That is one fiendishly clever grid! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Blanks @ #1161: Thanks for the 4 points I didn't deserve (9 years, 7 months ago)

Al @ #4149: I agree with El. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4158: Cunning plan! Fun,Thankyou! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Neilo @ #4153: Great grid, though agree acceptable answers could be defined more broadly. Good red herrings. (9 years, 7 months ago)

melanie @ #4155: Good wall (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4156: Very good and hard to get in the time. I think there is an unintentional pitfall in that muck and check could both be followed by either up or in so the groups are not entirely mutually exclusive. Also I put in but was marked incorrect. But still very entertaining. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #4123: Very entertaining grid. The phrase Spanish practices is still used quite widely. (9 years, 7 months ago)

toast @ #2231: Liked this. A bit more difficult for non-Americans if I am right that in part it is culturally US specific but still enjoyable for a Brit. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Neilo @ #4155: Great fun. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Neilo @ #4157: Enjoyable. Some v good misleading overlaps. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Sr @ #2665: Ok. (9 years, 7 months ago)

mcguffin @ #55: We left it blank with the same result (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #3588: "rhyme" didn't give me a point! :( otherwise great, thanks! (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #3789: Neither "political parties" nor "political ideologies" accepted as answers :( (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #3607: Fun grid,Thankyou (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #3980: Isn't really a wall so much as a sort-by-categories, bit dull :( (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #4006: Should have accepted "harry potter" and "trainers" (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4155: That was hard indeed! For me anyway! Ingenious though. (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #4156: Wow,ingenious and testing (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #4061: currently accepts anything for categories (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #4111: the homophones aren't very accurate to the pronunciation (in german at least) which makes it super hard :( (9 years, 7 months ago)

el @ #4113: huge top gear red herring, dammit! (9 years, 7 months ago)

del @ #4153: To reiterate previous comments, disallows correct answers eg animals when it wants "words containing animals" (9 years, 7 months ago)

Fonty @ #4154: Agreed, the answer specificity was a problem when I test ran both my walls. I'm not sure how to correct/edit a wall though.. Any tips? Regardless I'll keep this in mind when perfecting future walls. (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #4149: Answers far too specific: I typed "hair", "diamond", "cream" and none were accepted. (9 years, 7 months ago)

El @ #4153: Doesn't accept imprecise answer formats (e.g. harry potter for the Black etc etc group wasn't enough) (9 years, 7 months ago)

Fonty @ #1942: Nce grid. Fry (and Laurie) red herring had me fooled until I spotted Little. Banner and Wayne had me looking for Bruces but that was then quick to rule out. I also put Hounds in as a guess for the last category and got a correct result... Odd (9 years, 7 months ago)

Alan Alfaro, Jonah Rivera @ #4130: answers should be broader. more broadly accepted. We shouldnt be counted wrong for notputting the exact answer. (9 years, 7 months ago)

elvis @ #555: Rubbish. Highly specific knowledge. People like you are spoiling the fun here, so far up yourself! (9 years, 7 months ago)

deirdre @ #556: Oh Dear. Heat is measured in Joules!! Temperature by degrees!! Education?? Probably certificates, not many have degrees. Poor really. Get the facts right, matey boy. (9 years, 7 months ago)

elivus @ #568: bit specific -- all them acids!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

peeaitchdee @ #570: Rubbish. You must use words, preferably English, not just groups of letters -- "amel" (9 years, 7 months ago)

deirdre @ #571: Crap. Just for you and your mates???? French Stewart?? Kate Bush tracks?? Hardly general!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Perfect Kiss @ #4046: I loved the way 3 of the links had the answers in the other links. Pity you couldn't have made all 4 links like this, but nonetheless another intriguing grid. I love your musical references. GIVE ME MORE!!! (9 years, 7 months ago)

PerfectKiss @ #4116: Another great grid from Kenny Lynch; I loved it - very clever indeed (9 years, 7 months ago)

PerfectKiss @ #4115: Very clever grid - like the mixture of maths and music! (9 years, 7 months ago)

Oddball @ #881: Clever,two stones! (9 years, 7 months ago)

asdf @ #4124: Thank you Wolfdog! .. Funnily enough, I did have both 'Wall' and 'Mule' in that set originally, but I thought that 'Mule' might be a little bit too obscure and didn't want to have 2 landmarks in the group so kept 'Bridge'. Totally agree that some of the grids can be overly obscure, which saps the fun out of it for me. (9 years, 7 months ago)

KEnny Lynch @ #4123: Enjoyed it! Not heard of the practices one... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4117: You are right LVG they are pronouns- hopefully just entering this will get you bonus. My eye was off the ball on building this grid...tired..... (9 years, 7 months ago)

Patrick @ #4116: Of course you're much more likely to think of pride than sloth. Devious, isn't it?! Really enjoyed it, thanks! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4124: Very nice, this hit the sweet spot for me, creative and challenging enough to be interesting but very fair and not ridiculously obscure. I liked the idea for the "Treaty" group a lot but I thought that was the weakest member in the group; I think you could have replaced it with a stronger candidate. "Wall" might have been a nice one? Or perhaps "Mule"? (9 years, 8 months ago)

AC @ #4124: I think the rule would usually be they can all be preceded by the same word, otherwise it's a bit unlikely you'd spot it (9 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #4126: That was fun,just right!more please pronto! (9 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #4115: Not nice (9 years, 8 months ago)

odesiw @ #4124: nice one. Paris Hilton was perfectly fair. Wish I'd thought of it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

odesiw @ #4117: great grid. didn't know where to start, then suddenly the penny dropped. The elements caught me out, hence only 7/10 (9 years, 8 months ago)

odesiw @ #4113: nice one. cabinet members caught me out, hence 7/10 (9 years, 8 months ago)

asdf @ #4118: Great grid ... like another commenter, I put "entered world war 2" and got marked as incorrect, but at least I know for myself that I got full marks :) (9 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #3929: 'Renamed cities' unaccepted (9 years, 8 months ago)

Andy @ #4013: I think "superhero" should count as correct... (9 years, 8 months ago)

LVGBoxhead @ #4117: Good grid. Minor quibble: possessive pronouns denote 'ownership' e.g. my, yours, his etc. The ones in the grid are simply pronouns. (9 years, 8 months ago)

2pak @ #4118: Hi fdfdsfd, it should have picked up WW2. I thought I put in both WWII and WW2. I'm sorry that didn't work out for you. @Iamwretched, Spain joined NATO in 1982 as part of the continued integration with the rest of Europe after transition back into democracy. The 1986 referendum was more consultative. (9 years, 8 months ago)

term @ #2028: Wouldn't Prominent Economists also work for the Stieglitz group, or is my memory shoddy? Also, perhaps due to being a non-native speaker, Barn seems odd to me - am I missing an idiom or store chain or something? (9 years, 8 months ago)

dds @ #4116: Last two categories were waaaaayy beyond me - so definitely a toughie! (9 years, 8 months ago)

ffdsdsffdsfds @ #3216: Song titles a bit obscure (9 years, 8 months ago)

fdfdsfd @ #4118: Great grid but disappointed I didn't get a point for "entered WW2". (9 years, 8 months ago)

fgs @ #1471: Never heard of "talk a blue streak" but otherwise - nice one! (9 years, 8 months ago)

sdds @ #234: Too many possible combinations/answers. Eg Germany etc could be Fascistic regimes in 1930s England etc Commonwealth nations (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4117: Oops sorry - didn't realise I'd done that.... I had loads of other options as you said.. apo0logies to all (9 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #3493: Philippa is how it's spelt. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Iamwretched @ #4118: Nice grid but Spain did not join NATO in 1982. I believe there was a referendum on joining in 1987. (9 years, 8 months ago)

stampy long nose @ #4069: You are going to see me guys :) (9 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #4116: Red herrings are an essential part of the grids. But there should still only be one correct answer. A perfect logician should be able to solve the grid without guessing. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #4117: It's a good grid, but the fact that you have two Las, only one of which is correct for each group, is quite annoying. You could easily have put something else in one of the groups. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4116: Thanks for feedback. I thought the ambiguity/red herrings were the essential part of the grids :-) Glad you liked the rest though (9 years, 8 months ago)

DOgMAnStar @ #4117: Loved it! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #4116: Sloth and pride are completely interchangeable, in fact people are much more likely to think of Pride than Sloth for animal mass nouns. The ambiguity kinda wrecks an otherwise good grid (9 years, 8 months ago)

StickyBelly @ #4116: Interesting grid - well done (9 years, 8 months ago)

LinWong @ #4115: Nice (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #4111: I think this grid is conceptually flawed. Numbers in various languages don't make a particularly interesting grid, especially with the weird blend of homophones and actual numbers. (9 years, 8 months ago)

dsffds @ #1161: You can enter any answer and it comes up correct. V good clues though. (9 years, 8 months ago)

asdf @ #4093: Nice, expect is "NARWHAL" not Narwhale .. which kinda ruins the group (9 years, 8 months ago)

ndshy @ #1708: Second category did not allow "anagram" as correct answer. Otherwise v v good! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Pete @ #4096: Loved it! Made me question my assumptions... (9 years, 8 months ago)

Oddball @ #1417: Good when drunk? (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4102: Banned from essays - by whom? (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4093: Fawn was tenuous to say the least Like the Beatles ones, although would have been good to include a George one instead of two from John (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4105: Good one! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4110: Got the town names ones, but had no idea of the exact connections. Of the others, I think the links are so cryptic/tenuous that I am not sure anyone would ever get 10/10. (9 years, 8 months ago)

odesiw @ #4110: This is my first attempt at a Fiendish grid. The groups may be reasonably gettable, but the reasons are the tricky bits. All feed back welcomed - too obscure? not enough red herrings? (9 years, 8 months ago)

dierdre @ #4075: Good effort, but quite easy. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3959: Excellent grid, although Settlers of Catan was the weakest of the links (I thought Knight was a little dubious). One thing I liked is that the answer to one easier group (board games) could spark the idea needed to make the Catan connection. (9 years, 8 months ago)

odesiw @ #3959: good question. What are catan terms? (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4025: Thanks Melanie. I appreciate the kind comments. Sorry 'The voice of reason...' I thought it was evident I was making light of the situation too. I'm not really going to contact CAMRA and I didn't actually hang my head. I know sometimes the meaning can be lost in the written word but had hoped mine were fairly evidently lighthearted. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Nick @ #48: Scored zero. Don't think brain was working today. Good grid. (9 years, 8 months ago)

elvis @ #4065: Really poor. Tardy means late. Hasselback refers to shape/style, not the way to cook. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #4055: 3 psychology categories, 2 categories which you can get without understanding and a baffling numerical question that the explanation doesn't actually explain. This may be the most ill-conceived grid I've ever seen (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4047: I second Toast's comment. It's good to have more people making more puzzles. I screwed up a couple of my first efforts the other day and had to ask for them to be deleted. Unfortunately there's no going back to edit once they have been submitted. That's no slight; I understand the desire to keep it all straightforward and save people from having to create accounts. PuzzGrid is a fun website and I get a lot more than I pay for with it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

LVGBoxhead @ #4053: WTF? (9 years, 8 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4052: First it was 'Cha', then 'dfxyhkfjyvj', and now you. Why do you think you have the right to bore us to tears? I only have an hour for lunch and you owe me 9 minutes back. For shame! (9 years, 8 months ago)

LVGBoxhead @ #4052: Huh? (9 years, 8 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4053: Were you not given enough attention as a child? (9 years, 8 months ago)

George Carlin @ #1034: 'Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.' (9 years, 8 months ago)

WTF @ #968: ???? Completely England-centric. Supporting characters of one film, one educational location, players of one minor sport, one financial institution. All require specialised knowledge makes this one the worst yet IMO. (9 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #4025: I still like you KitMit, even though I can never get 10/10 (9 years, 8 months ago)

ChrisMills98 @ #4034: Too highbrow for the likes of me (9 years, 8 months ago)

esther @ #4047: Answers were too specific, e.g. Types of power not accepted, nor was fruit Also banana is usually spelt with only two 'n's and not three. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ChrisMills98 @ #4035: Very clever first link. Very clever full stop. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ChrisMills98 @ #4047: banana is spelt incorrectly and when I keyed in fruit as the answer, it didn't give it . . . (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #4047: We do need more grids like this that are not too hard but so as not to put off new players please try to make the answers less specific. Please put parts of the essential words divided by commas in the appropriate section when setting the grid and don't be put off too easily. Everyone who tries gets criticised sometimes. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Lucas @ #4047: Your grid is awesome! Please make some more grids like that. (9 years, 8 months ago)

PandaBoy @ #4046: A brilliant, clever grid - well done (9 years, 8 months ago)

RowG @ #3978: Sorry not what I'd class as a medium level (9 years, 8 months ago)

Well Done @ #900: Enjoyed this one. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Well Done @ #864: Thought this was clever, and didn't get any. But it lacked red herrings / overlapping clues, to force those in the know to think. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Joshua Bourque @ #4010: This website is very useful and will help other students reach there target in their exams. I think over all both sites are amazing and that other schools and students around the world should use these two websites so they could achieve what we are achieving using these sites. Thanks you MR Murphy (9 years, 8 months ago)

Well Done @ #781: Thought this was clever, but lack of red herrings / overlaps meant it was over quickly. Got 7/10 (9 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4017: Wow, super-tricky but smart (9 years, 8 months ago)

You Glad... @ #756: WTF ??? It doesn't mean anything. Any arguments with this are moot. (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #4003: Thank you LVGBoxhead. As it happens I was abscent from Eton the day we did spelling as I had to accept a Nobel prize. I am glad you agree the gentle hint about KLM made no scencs. Happy Gridding! (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #4019: You know as much about football as the fans of some teams do (no names will be mentioned to protect my health). (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #4013: Melanie's comment has baffled me more than the grid did. I got the groups right but didn't know the foreign words related to mountains so that was educational! (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #4012: That seems fair enough to me. I had a lot more trouble with the other groups! (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #4021: The answers are there and just as well in my case as I got a bad attack of confusion! (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4025: Apologies for the double post there. Can someone in charge please delete one of them please? (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #184: Good one It is a Battleship in my old version of Monopoly! (9 years, 8 months ago)

pIVOT @ #4034: loved it! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Piggsy @ #4033: Brilliant! (9 years, 8 months ago)

The voice of reason... @ #4025: I think you will find Perry is made from Pears and Cider is made from Apples. I was beginning to like you KitMit but you have let yourself down. (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4023: Thanks for the feedback Pat. As the subjects are within my field of interests, it didn't seem too bad to me. It's difficult to create a puzzle objectively and I apologise if people find it too difficult based upon the subject matter. Hopefully some will enjoy it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4019: Oh yes, Stirling Albion too. Thanks. In my defence, I wrote 'English soccer clubs' so I hope I got away with that omission. I'd like to claim that was me being clever and fully aware of Stirling Albion but I really know nothing about football. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #4013: Got it quickish, but didn't really know why! (9 years, 8 months ago)

LVGBoxhead @ #4003: Good grid. In this context 'KLM' is perfectly cromulent. (9 years, 8 months ago)

pat @ #4021: would like answers (9 years, 8 months ago)

pat @ #4023: hard (9 years, 8 months ago)

I_Dispute_It @ #603: Whether the Red Deer is a symbol is Ireland or not is disputable. Why not change to Wolfhound? You could also look at a map or book written after 1920, to see Ireland is no longer part of the United Kingdom. Eire go bragh!!! (9 years, 8 months ago)

2pak @ #4012: He doesn't like haunted houses. He will chicken out of it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #4012: Could you conjugate the verb chicken please (9 years, 8 months ago)

Phyl @ #4017: challenging, enjoyed it; perhaps there should be more red herrings? (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4018: Multiple uses of the same word (by accident I am assured) render this 'wall' pointless. Please delete it - thanks. (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4019: Other Albions are also available - whoops! Apologies to any 'Brighton and Hove' fans. Sorry about that; you can't please everyone (or anyone in my case). (9 years, 8 months ago)

KitMit @ #4015: Whoops! My mistake. I only meant to put 'Gun' in once and made a mistake. This renders my efforts very poor, hence giving myself one star. Please delete this puzzle - thanks. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Nigel @ #4013: Lovely stuff! (9 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #4003: I liked this one - good and creative. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kenny Lynch @ #3997: Good grid! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Anthrax @ #3998: If you have a question about spelling, at least spell the name of the band right!! Apart from that minor indiscretion, not a bad grid at all!! :-) (9 years, 8 months ago)

RHLSTP @ #4011: Got it solved pretty quickly but don't really know how! Still no idea about the link with the American towns... (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kit (again) @ #1723: Just to update, I now (via Googling 'Wilson of The Office') understand the Rainn, Reign, Rein and Rain links but, at the strong risk of sounding overly anal, the words written on the puzzle aren't homophones. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Kit @ #1723: Are 'Wilson of the Office', 'Rule' and 'Horse Guide' really homophones for rain? I feel like I'm missing something here. What do they supposedly sound like? (9 years, 8 months ago)

Lucrezia @ #3341: Tricky, but enjoyed it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

odesiw @ #3828: nice one. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #4006: I got the groups sorted with just a couple of seconds left and found all the links, but I have to say, "ounce" really confused me. Had to go look that up afterward. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Clem fandango @ #4003: Can you hear me Steven? (9 years, 8 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3970: I liked it; I found two groups, and recognized the connection for a third one once time was up. I thought the link for the "maximum" group was kind of weak, though. (9 years, 8 months ago)

elvis @ #1535: "wave" one was poor. (9 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3992: 'kilo' is not an SI unit; 'kilogram' is. And 'mililitres' are not units of distance, they are units of capacity. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3964: I don't know what you were going for with the musicals group. Three fit, but then Sound is just a word that happens to appear in a musical name. Also very simple, both to solve and I imagine to create. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3965: FAR too easy and the recognition is atrocious. It tells you to make the connections as vague as you can, clearly you haven't. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3966: It's a good grid, but I can't help thinking it could have been so much more. There are no red herrings I can see whatsoever, which are one of the more fun challenges in these grids, and there could have been, even leading off the Futurama group, which I loved. (9 years, 8 months ago)

joe @ #3965: I entered 'hair colour' for first ansewr, showed as incorrect..entered 'beans' for second answer, showed as incorrect..entered 'organs of the body' for third answer, showed as incorrect mmmm! (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #3906: Fair comments to a point but there are enough Londoners to make the grid of fairly wide interest and it is well constructed. (9 years, 8 months ago)

elvis @ #1959: not good. What year were they born??? Red herrings are necessary, but make sure you don't include genuine groups - eg 4 Arsenal players. (9 years, 8 months ago)

The voice of reason @ #3906: When you submit a grid you are asked 'Is this grid of interest to a general audience?' This is not! (9 years, 8 months ago)

The voice of reason @ #3952: Looked up 'decare' - a unit of measurement used in Norway! (9 years, 8 months ago)

bennie @ #3356: Good one. Not too difficult. Nice. (9 years, 8 months ago)

sharon @ #3907: I need practice! (9 years, 8 months ago)

leloup @ #3908: v nice grid. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3906: This is not a general interest grid. I imagine even if you lived in London it would be pretty challenging, so if you've never been it's impossible, and not really worth caring about. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3908: It's a Scottish speciality, 2 crumbly biscuits with jam in the middle, water icing on top and a sweet. Lovely. Good grid by the way. (9 years, 8 months ago)

SkirtedMan @ #3913: Don't try this one, it was a test posting (9 years, 8 months ago)

Novak @ #3908: Nice one. Not heard of an Empire biscuit before, but good all the same (9 years, 8 months ago)

Jen @ #3905: Difficult - if you're not from Stoke-on-Trent (9 years, 8 months ago)

Jen @ #3911: Not Just Scottish instruments (9 years, 8 months ago)

R @ #3863: R (9 years, 8 months ago)

Neilo @ #3876: Enjoyable. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Neilo @ #3892: Good crossovers- would widen the acceptable answers though. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Neilo @ #3897: Fun grid and good crossovers- but agree, answers need to be wider (9 years, 8 months ago)

Neilo @ #3900: Fun- some nice crossovers (9 years, 8 months ago)

ls @ #11: "Top websites" was marked incorrect! (9 years, 8 months ago)

G @ #3900: good (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3899: Why have you taken the word "the" out of some of the band names but not others? (9 years, 8 months ago)

HHH @ #3897: The acceptable answers are too narrow (9 years, 8 months ago)

neddy @ #3438: What's a meme? Not in my dictionary!! (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3439: Limited - not for a general audience. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3457: Good effort; quit easy. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3460: I agree with Shippers. Rubbish! (9 years, 8 months ago)

george @ #2743: I see you've been sitting there with the "Britannica" open - again!! (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #2744: Hardly general knowledge. Did you ever read that play? Not enjoyable - and they should be! (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #2747: good grid. (9 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #3879: Pokemon...... (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3895: I would argue that "lap" and "pole" are interchangeable. (9 years, 8 months ago)

feynmanski @ #3887: Out of all the Physicists, how long did it take to find Ilya Frank? Spoilt it a bit. But a good grid. (9 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #3892: nice groupings for an easier grid. explanations need work - "Torchwood" should not be an incorrect answer, neither "Leaders of the Liberal Democrats" - would add 2* to quality (9 years, 8 months ago)

Row @ #3852: Good but failed to give me correct for last answer (9 years, 8 months ago)

leloup @ #3875: I agree with jimbob. (9 years, 8 months ago)

corvus @ #3879: There are too many shades of green in the grid, and the solution isn't unique. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Ger @ #3875: Brilliant (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3879: Always a fan of the Pokemon clues, and it's a good grid, but when you get to the plants and the shades of green it completely fails, because there aren't 2 distinct groups. Mint, pea, lime and olive are all both plants and shades of green; well known shades of green, and there seem to be 2 arbitrarily assigned to each group, making it unsolvable without a good deal of luck. It's frustrating, because it's the start of a good grid (9 years, 8 months ago)

jimbob @ #3875: Too easy and links are badly worded. (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #2981: Nice grid. (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #2980: I rate this excellent. All gettable without special knowledge but made tricky by great use of red herrings. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3520: I agree with what has been said. Red herrings are expected, but on this grid there are 8 famous scientists! (including Darwin\0. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #3800: Im with the others, definitley spices. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #3854: I never know how specific to go on these answers. Magazines wasnt enough :( (9 years, 8 months ago)

Joe @ #3864: I put double act in for the last one and it didnt accept..unless i made a spelling mistake. I enjoyed this one as it was more modern than some! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Alec @ #3856: Thanks for the comment. The names of the elements are NOT all from Latin, so that's why you don't get a point for "latin". "Wolfram" (=Tungsten, symbol W) is derived from German "wolf rahm", the name given to tungsten by Johan Gottschalk Wallerius in 1747, which translates into English as "wolf's froth" or "cream". (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3536: ditto. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3548: good effort. The "answer" algorithm never works well - not a reflection on the grid. I know how many I got right, don't need to be told. The answer part is only useful when you don't know the link. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3550: Good - do-able. (9 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3586: (Yet again) AlFA is the correct spelling for the NATO phonetic alphabet. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mumra @ #3871: Very, very challenging (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mumra @ #3827: Catchy! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mumra @ #3842: (9 years, 8 months ago)

Bryden @ #1497: More like HOMObones (9 years, 8 months ago)

Honks @ #2621: Like it, but I'd like misspelt too. Couldn't work out final group for a while! (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3576: Enjoyable. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3580: I enjoyed it. I gave up on the answer filters long ago, I know how many I scored. Setters need to put list of acceptable answers (words) rather than a sentence. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3584: Not great - nor universal. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3586: Good, but easy, notwithstanding the spelling! (9 years, 8 months ago)

Anton @ #1897: Good grid, but should've accepted "Stephen King" as correct answer. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3587: good, but hard. I got 5. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3590: good but difficult. Only got 2. (9 years, 8 months ago)

bennie @ #3594: good, enjoyed it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3828: Some great groups! The -ough one was particularly good. (9 years, 8 months ago)

loup-garou @ #3831: Nice grid. The last one is impossible unless you live in New Jersey. (9 years, 8 months ago)

MondoGrid @ #3853: Very nice - the perfect combination of challenging and gettable; frustrating and satisfying (9 years, 8 months ago)

Den @ #3009: Acronyms should be in capital letters as per your answers (9 years, 8 months ago)

Den @ #3015: the group that has ow added also all end in double 'LL' but I was marked wrong for that (9 years, 8 months ago)

Mr A @ #3856: A lot of the ideas in the quiz are great, I really like the red herrings that aren't actually red herrings, and the correspondence between two of the groups is a very nice touch. Unfortunately, the group of elements should probably accept Latin names, since that is where all the symbols come from, the recognition on the physicists group is bizarre, and if you were gonna do such a heavily physics-inspired grid, putting in a pop culture group at the end is a bit weird. (9 years, 8 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3853: Absolutely brilliant! Very creative (9 years, 8 months ago)

Dupont @ #3855: you didn't explain the links (9 years, 8 months ago)

raf @ #1480: utter shite (9 years, 8 months ago)

Bryden @ #1477: You guys need to stop impersonating me (9 years, 8 months ago)

Bryden @ #1475: By virtue of me knowing about them, they are famous, I shouldn't have to put it. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Bryden @ #1474: Wouldn't accept australian guff as an answer (9 years, 8 months ago)

novak @ #3824: tricky. Like the blue group! (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3608: Don't quite agree. I found it very straightforward and easy. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3612: that palindrome phobia is becoming an old chestnut here. Not great - I agree with others. I did it in 35 secs. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Moron @ #3851: Oxford cat is just stupid, Learn to add reasonable keywords, otherwise not solvable (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3623: Good. You could have had Barcelona F.C. too. Founded by an Englishman, hence "F.C." and not C.F. -- Club de Futbol (9 years, 8 months ago)

Moron @ #3849: Nice one, besides the football stuff (9 years, 8 months ago)

feedback @ #3586: Enjoyed it. But: spelling mistakes. eg. Alfa = alpha (it's a bit unfair because your red-herring isbased on it being spelt incorrectly). (9 years, 8 months ago)

melanie @ #3847: Good wall (9 years, 8 months ago)

Dupont @ #3841: I'm glad that nobody can complete this! (9 years, 8 months ago)

loup-garou @ #3648: a very nice grid, but you spelled Belzec wrong as Betzec. What you probably mistook for a T was the Ł in Bełżec. (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #3842: Good stuff. (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #3841: Yes it is too difficult but it shows imagination which with a bit of judicious restraint could do great things. (9 years, 8 months ago)

toast @ #3832: Very good grid. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Novak @ #3848: The links and groups aren't properly defined so although the links are easy to identify, the description of the link isn't recognised. (9 years, 8 months ago)

A Pedant Speaks... @ #3841: I agree with melanie and Novak. Tenuous links (9 years, 8 months ago)

feedback @ #3728: All the same type of groups (_____ word) More varied connections would be better. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3668: OK. Quite easy (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3671: One for yourself???? (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3672: I agree with it being easy. But, hey, some of them have to be easy. Some setters must have Wikipedia open - or the Radio Times. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Novak @ #3845: Haven't seen Get him to the Greek, but otherwise a good grid (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3673: Good grid. Nice little twist. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3683: not hard. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3685: It's the SYSTEM of marking which is at fault. But the setter is always asked to put in as many key words as possible to enable a correct answer to be "seen". Quite easy. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3690: enjoyable, but I found it very easy. Did it in 40s. (9 years, 8 months ago)

ben @ #3691: enjoyable, quite easy. (9 years, 8 months ago)

Poppy @ #3800: Definition of herbs is incorrect. These are spices (9 years, 9 months ago)

jimbob @ #3826: Ha, lightning seeds! Nice grid good crossovers particularly the dahl. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #2714: But it's still a pretty good grid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #2931: This is good. I think people don't realise how difficult it is to set answers and that the order they put the answers in determines which line they appear in. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #2932: That goes for me too. (9 years, 9 months ago)

ben @ #3812: Same as 3813!! (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #3814: Good grid. Last group a bit left field for someone who doesn't watch rubbish TV. But I enjoyed it, I got 7. (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #3815: Hard, but agree with "me" regarding red group. So overall grid is not great. (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #3816: Good. Very easy - makes a change for me! Ta! (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #3823: Good! But I never like groups made up of "part of" titles - songs, films etc. Could be anything?!! But I enjoyed it. (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #3825: V hard. Not sure of the quality - ? (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #3827: Good grid. As in many cases, I knew all the connections but my wording wasn't the same as in the answer. System fault, not yours. (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #975: One of many grids where the setter has Encyclopaedia Britannica by his/her side. What happened to GENERAL knowledge?? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Hannah Young @ #3822: fun and tricky :-) Getting exactly the right word at the end really tough - got two wrong! What where they for the reserve line and the reliability line? I said sources I think (9 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #3815: It was difficult but the red group was a bit abstract. add a letter anywhere to make a word meaning a loud noise... is bom a word? hmmm (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3815: Insanely difficult, but good :) (9 years, 9 months ago)

Neilo @ #3776: Great fun. (9 years, 9 months ago)

LilyB @ #238: replica is not a verb - should be replicate (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #113: Denoument means unravelling (9 years, 9 months ago)

Steve @ #3816: Good (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mike Dean @ #3808: The -away group doesn't work. what the hell is a floodaway, wateraway and stairaway? Don't waste our time like this! (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #79: Take fire??? Take aim then fire. Not good (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #86: Not good. Symbols in Only Connect?? Eye of Horus etc?? (9 years, 9 months ago)

LVGBoxhead @ #3811: Presumably 'sauce'. The condiments group is a bit 'meh' and takes some of the gloss off an otherwise excellent grid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

bennie @ #32: explanation of last 4 is poor. What's a funkyhouse? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3811: What condiment is Force meant to rhyme with? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Maisie @ #3801: Good except it told me 'metric measurements' was a wrong answer.....? (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3808: The -away group doesn't quite work. Foldaway, yes, but wateraway/stairaway are wrong - for those it should be -way rather than -away. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Chris P. Caulk @ #3803: Very specific audience, but otherwise a good quiz (9 years, 9 months ago)

jimbob @ #3800: Agreed! (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3093: Very good grid, tricky but accessible. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3098: I am impressed but not by my failure to get anything right. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3799: I think Mr A has a point but it is still a very enjoyable grid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Anne Onimus @ #3803: Very good quiz. Not brilliant for those without prior knowledge but a great way to learn for those who need it (9 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #3792: Can get 2 of the connections by not entering anyting into the text (9 years, 9 months ago)

T @ #3791: Capitalising the names, and keeping some words uncapitalised made it a little easy. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3799: I wasn't impressed by the fact there were 4 colours in the grid, which were a group and easy to find, but had a different connection. Simplistic as it may be, colours is equally correct. If you don't wish that to be the case you should change the group. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Anton @ #1960: Bit pedantic on the Beatles one there Colin. He was commonly known as Paul, so I think that's perfectly acceptable. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lauren Noakes @ #1860: This was by far the most fun I have ever had in my life, I can NOT BELIEVE, the amount of joy that this brought me. Would play again 10/10. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Thomas grey @ #1860: i loved it (9 years, 9 months ago)

chester @ #3800: semac saffron mace and ginger are spices not herbs (9 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #3417: excellent, could have been used on Only Connect! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #3798: Damn you, the cricket one felled me! That was very difficult indeed, but I like it! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Spike @ #3798: Fiendish! Think some of the answers need expanding with a few more key words; I had the right idea, just not the specific phrases you've used. Still, cleverly thought out this one! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Spike @ #3801: Quite a few red-herrings thrown in for good measure - took a few trips and slips to get going. Nice one. (9 years, 9 months ago)

k @ #379: shift is also a key on a standard keyboard. mare is also a term for a female horse. these made the board very confusing... (9 years, 9 months ago)

Nicky @ #3768: Very cheerful! Only time I've been glad of the awful radio station that I have to listen to in work! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Nige @ #3785: Agree with other comments. Solved the wall and knew connections but was marked incorrect for all four. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Nige @ #3796: Think I need practice! Thank you for the grid (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3795: V My thought exactly. And it should probably take stand-ups for "comedians." But it's a good one to solve. I looked at it confused for about 2 minutes before I started solving it. Nice red herrings. (9 years, 9 months ago)

LVGBoxhead @ #3795: Excellent grid, but to work properly 'Vic' and 'Auspic' should be 'V' and 'Ausp'. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mimi @ #3797: Kicking myself for not solving the grid! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jess @ #3791: Love this!!! (9 years, 9 months ago)

C @ #3792: ABC (9 years, 9 months ago)

B @ #3792: B (9 years, 9 months ago)

jimbob @ #3685: Paddington is not a subspecies! Surely 'bear' is the answer? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #3782: Really enjoyed this grid, nice fresh approach but not too obtuse (9 years, 9 months ago)

jimbob @ #3776: Why doesn't it accept pallendromes? (9 years, 9 months ago)

A @ #3792: A (9 years, 9 months ago)

robincac @ #3771: correct answers could have been wider (9 years, 9 months ago)

redbeard @ #3789: Agree with the comments above - a good grid, but no leeway on the answer categories (9 years, 9 months ago)

john f @ #3538: your inability to spell made this confusing sic gasses burgandy scarlett (9 years, 9 months ago)

robincac @ #3789: nice; but acceptable answers slightly wider? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Maggie @ #3791: Capitalisation is a bit of a give away for some (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3782: Very different, love it! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #796: Eccles, not Ecclestone (9 years, 9 months ago)

gmac @ #3338: rather parochial. this might interest 5 people! (9 years, 9 months ago)

andyfi27 @ #2234: Ireland is not part of Great Britain, only Northern Ireland. The Irish would get rather cross if they played this wall! (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3768: Can you tell me the lottery numbers for 2015 please (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3789: Fine but the answers need to be less tightly drawn. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3787: Varied and good use of red herrings. (9 years, 9 months ago)

maxwell @ #3788: Good grid! It definitely helped knowing a certain TV series well! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Q @ #3588: it's very nice...although if some of the clues in the dog group could be more specific if the connection was to stand (9 years, 9 months ago)

Q @ #3048: i solved the wall, but got none of the connections....they are just too specific (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3785: This is very good but the acceptable answers need to be wider to avoid essentially correct answers being disallowed. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3782: Pretty good. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Kev @ #3785: Enjoyable apart from the links are maybe too specific (9 years, 9 months ago)

john f @ #3783: should only be used as a simple example (9 years, 9 months ago)

Maxwell @ #3775: An enjoyable grid, although I agree with Mr A (9 years, 9 months ago)

Gaz @ #3774: Cool. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3776: Some good ideas . It would be a good idea to expand the answer " watercraft ". (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3761: Good wall (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3774: Nice to have a quality easy one. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Maxwell @ #3591: Good grid, enjoyed sorting out the decoys! (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3768: Makes me realise I haven't been paying attention. Will try to do better next year. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lemons @ #2665: Pony is not a baby animal. If you thought it was a baby horse then you should have put foal (9 years, 9 months ago)

Missus @ #3755: Amazing! Genius at work! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3775: A pretty good grid let down by a few mistakes. The anagrams aren't actually anagrams, easy to find, impossible to describe. And the ruminants could just be called farm animas, mammals or any number of other more general things. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Octofish @ #3495: Nice. Middle - the clue was there. Hadn't heard of Harry Judd, though (9 years, 9 months ago)

Octofish @ #3774: Nice red herring on the bridge & card games link. Another red herring would have made this a belter (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3765: Tough but enjoyable. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3762: Good grid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

benmac @ #3287: didn't help having capital T for turkey, and small initials for names (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3245: Far too obscure for the normal person (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3249: I put Boulevard,Goose, and add R and was given incorrect for all three (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3258: i put girl for the Girls category and was given incorrect-- annoying (9 years, 9 months ago)

RQ @ #952: OK grid. Serious issues with the District one though. Either precede the clue or succeed it. Don't do both. And District Court is mentioned in the answer but it's not a clue. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Hmmm @ #3763: Not very interesting for none Agatha Christie fans. I could see it was Christie but couldn't work out the groups. A good connecting walls have some general knowledge and some you can work out. This one is just alienating. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Daniel @ #3755: Good one! (9 years, 9 months ago)

everyone @ #3768: died in 2015???? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Rolly @ #3: Polar solvent!!!!!!!!!!! (9 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3764: There should only be one correct solution (9 years, 9 months ago)

Maxwell @ #3763: Tricky! As an avid reader of this author, I spotted the connections but couldn't quite get them in the right places. Very nice! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Vernon @ #3507: shite. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jo-Jo @ #3764: I thought red herrings are part of Puzzgrid; they make the puzzles a bit more challenging. (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3720: Pam says good wall (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #1971: Brilliant. Hope it isn't too late to say well done. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #3764: It's not a bad grid, but Can You Feel the Love Tonight would also fit in the Lion King group, and I could see calling Circle of Life an Elton John song. Makes the grid harder to solve, and not really in a good way. :) (9 years, 9 months ago)

A. Nonymous @ #3671: A sandbox game is one that crates a virtual world (9 years, 9 months ago)

Danny @ #3728: Enjoyed that (9 years, 9 months ago)

Alex @ #3755: Nice one! (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3048: I didn't find this too easy. It is about right in terms of difficulty and quite imaginative. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3049: Very entertaining. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3053: I liked this one. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3060: Imaginative and very tough (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3303: THE 'Y'S ARE PRONOUNCED AS 'I' (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3028: Nice one. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Anton @ #1924: Why was "meat" not accepted, as that is clearly a link (as well as the protein source of course). (9 years, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #3685: The battles - I put Battle of... wrong The Stations - I said London train stations (assuming it is Liverpool street) - Wrong. If I had just said stations I can imagine Victoria Coren asking me to be more specific - ie Busiest London stations or Railway terminus And the bears. I typed bears. Grrr (9 years, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #3690: I'm with Mimi. I also put Book and had it marked wrong. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Fairy @ #3691: I knew the answer to most groups but was marked incorrect on one as I said fictional rather than TV. Very annoying. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #357: Still works well after all this time. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3736: Very good grid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3738: Yes that did give an unintended clue but it is an entertaining grid anyway. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Adam @ #3755: Genius at work! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Sue @ #3755: Enjoyable and interesting (9 years, 9 months ago)

benmcarra @ #3716: I got all the right answers but I never know how much to type. So I was told they were all wrong!! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Corky @ #3236: Is that you Si? Piece of cake! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Corky @ #3247: Is that you Si? (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3730: Very creative! (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3736: Well, today I learnt a new definition of 'belay'. Thank you Mr/Ms Elderberry, and merry Christmas. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3738: Not a bad grid, but the fact half the clues had capital letters and the other half didn't makes it SO MUCH easier. (9 years, 9 months ago)

The hungry person @ #3671: Only the connections are fiendish, but otherwise great!! (9 years, 9 months ago)

mrs t @ #3658: Too easy The words broken and black should not appear. (9 years, 9 months ago)

feedback @ #3626: Royal Tunbridge Wells has an 'S' "Alcohol" not accepted as answer for the liqueurs. (9 years, 9 months ago)

KT @ #3668: Cake marked incorrect :( (9 years, 9 months ago)

KT @ #3685: Got all categories correct but said incorrect for 3 of 4?! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #1708: One of the more satisfying grids I've played. Maybe a small problem with recognition, but excellent. (9 years, 9 months ago)

PG @ #3716: Too easy for medium rating... (9 years, 9 months ago)

anon @ #3721: anagram connection flagged as incorrect... really? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mimi @ #3721: Using the same 5 letters is the same as anagram! Nice grid, though. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3719: It might have been a good grid, except that only two of your "Greek gods" are actually Gods. Echo was a nymph and Atlas was a Titan, which isn't exactly a God. (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3671: What's a sandbox game, indie or otherwise?? (9 years, 9 months ago)

M&M @ #3687: I liked it! Nice and Christmassy :) (9 years, 9 months ago)

M&M @ #3712: Loved this one! Great red herrings :) (9 years, 9 months ago)

Eggs cost @ #3719: Great grid (9 years, 9 months ago)

Charlie @ #3685: There is no train station named Liverpool (9 years, 9 months ago)

Trevor @ #3694: (9 years, 9 months ago)

WPRD @ #1782: The clue was supposed to be Solomon V. Shereshevsky, known as 'S'. Unfortunately there seems to have been an issue with the character limit. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #2077: Where is Germnay? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3715: Goodish grid, but why is Kit in the same group twice? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Paul & Sarah @ #3712: Very good, enjoyed it a lot (got with 4 seconds remaining) (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3716: The last group with Baulch and Black is FAR too obscure, and wrecks what is otherwise an excellent grid (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #2530: If you're not trying to learn your fractions it's not terribly interesting. Every group is basically the same and it presents no overall challenge. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #3704: It is spelled McLaren (9 years, 9 months ago)

yaser @ #3704: Nice easy one with some red herring possibilities. Enjoyed it (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3703: You're ridiculous! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Salazar Slytherin @ #3704: Really good& very clever (9 years, 9 months ago)

redbeard @ #3687: Fun wall - great work! (9 years, 9 months ago)

redbeard @ #3688: Another great grid, but you're not allowing 'cups' or 'armies' as answers - too specific! :( (9 years, 9 months ago)

redbeard @ #3689: Fun grid, but you don't allow just the words 'muppets' or 'soaps'? Sad face :( (9 years, 9 months ago)

redbeard @ #3694: Good grid, but the category that features 'green' is a bit too specific... (9 years, 9 months ago)

redbeard @ #3696: Nice quiz - good fun! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Wiggum @ #3703: Nice twist (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mimi @ #3690: "Book" not allowed but "man" allowed?! (9 years, 9 months ago)

narrow neck @ #3684: Great grid. Loved the bill and ted line :) (9 years, 9 months ago)

Neilo @ #3688: A fun grid- tricky in parts (9 years, 9 months ago)

Eggscost @ #3690: Brilliant (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3442: agree with Baz (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jo-Jo @ #3673: Thanks Alec. I've told the webmaster. I actually meant Maltesers. I don't know what Maltestes are. (9 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3684: Very nice. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lankmarrow @ #3682: Please delete this grid - it contains an error (two Whitehalls instead of one Whitehall and one Whitehouse). GRid #3683 is the correct version. Thanks. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Alec @ #3673: Maltesters? Should be Maltestes (9 years, 9 months ago)

123 @ #3671: Good grid, but anagram for 'Bitey' should be 'lazier us us', not 'laziest us us'. And Cromwell wasn't a king. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3672: Nice, not too hard to figure out but I'd never heard that meaning of "Gin" before, so I learned something. (9 years, 9 months ago)

BooRocket @ #3672: A bit too easy maybe (9 years, 9 months ago)

Neilo @ #3663: Lots of fun here. (9 years, 9 months ago)

GoBirders @ #3586: Enjoyable (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3613: What's Hollowway (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3603: Eh? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Alec @ #3669: I put Cricket, wear on head; lane and coins all marked incorrect (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3668: I liked this but square and cake were marked incorrect, maybe because of the hyphen type marks in the model answers. (9 years, 9 months ago)

k @ #2166: good grid but too specific when writing connections. i said phonetic alphabet and it didnt accept. I also wrote characters from romeo and juliet and it wasnt accepted. (9 years, 9 months ago)

k @ #2167: very specific - colours was not accepted, had to be colours of the rainbow? also, brain drain? (9 years, 9 months ago)

booRocket @ #3663: Very nice! (9 years, 9 months ago)

booRocket @ #3667: This was very easy, but nice. Except that it wouldn't accept my answer of cycle for some reason, so I didn't get full points. (9 years, 9 months ago)

jo @ #2636: WTF (9 years, 9 months ago)

Suzy @ #3669: The grid was fun, although easy, as Mondo said. However, sorry to say this but your definitions are completely rubbish ;-) I put "pre-decimal coins", "cricket", "hats" and "lane". These were ALL marked as incorrect! Oh well, it's only a game... (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3669: Nice easy grid, but too strict with the answers (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jill @ #3663: Agree with Mr. A. In "quatre" the R is pronounced. "Cease" is a v. good suggestion. A do-able grid, nothing too obscure. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Hisley @ #3669: The answers are far too strict. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lawrence @ #3604: Too many hidden words and no correct answer for gospels?? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lawrence @ #3608: Good and it fooled me (9 years, 9 months ago)

MondoGrid @ #3669: Yeah, nice (if quite easy) wall. But it's well worth being a bit more generous with the answers. The site's advice on using truncated forms of words people might use to describe the groups is definitely useful. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3584: Thanks for having a go. You can never please everyone. (9 years, 9 months ago)

GoBirders @ #3660: Excellent (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #1488: One of those you kick yourself for not getting, but difficult in the time allowed. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jay Z @ #3667: This grid was pretty mental. It honestly made my day, having suffered from depression for years I feel this grid really helps me to deal with it. Thank you Eminem - Jay Z (9 years, 9 months ago)

GRID SQUOD @ #1369: Pretty much the shittest grid I've ever seen. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3663: A very fun, playable grid. My only criticism would be that cat isn't perfect for what you were going for. Perhaps "cease?" (9 years, 9 months ago)

Joe @ #1942: I put Hounds in as a guess for the sweets one and got it right lol. (9 years, 9 months ago)

K @ #2425: Puto? Instead of Pluto I imagine. Scooby Doo should be accepted. (9 years, 9 months ago)

K @ #2769: very poor - although not obvious categories. doesn't accept correct answers. (9 years, 9 months ago)

K @ #3048: Nice grid but too specific with the connection answers - i got the answers but as my wording wasnt correct it wasnt accepted (9 years, 9 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #995: oddLlama it is surprising you could find the deer. I found the deer (9 years, 9 months ago)

K @ #3415: Too specific on answers - i got the right answers but did not word them exactly right (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3660: Very nice. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3661: Variety and entertaining (9 years, 9 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #3641: worst wall ever (9 years, 9 months ago)

Tyn @ #3630: Good grid, though I think there's an error in the key words used for the group containing Rebecca. I entered the keyword for one of the other answers and it said I got it right. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3658: The group "Things that can be broken" isn't a bad one, but you shouldn't use the word broken in the clues. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Simon @ #3641: This was stupid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3602: I got Boney M (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3594: Good wall (9 years, 9 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3608: Yes, great job, the blue group was particularly smart (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3548: To tell the truth I'm disappointed myself in some of the recognition here. It was my first time trying and they don't make the interface easy to use. If you were close to the answers count yourself as having got it :) (9 years, 9 months ago)

Mr A @ #3644: Is this amusing to you? I hope so, because the point of this site is to have fun creating grids that other people will also enjoy. This is why we can't have nice things! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Shannon + Georgia @ #3629: MEH (9 years, 9 months ago)

Aimone @ #3460: Im 13 :( (9 years, 9 months ago)

Kate @ #280: "Strings", "reeds" and "timpani" all marked as wrong. Single topic leaves no room for red herrings, and misses the potential of a connecting wall. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Kate @ #3601: "UK food companies" was not accepted. "Doctor Who actors" was, though. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Kate @ #3632: Likewise. Also... iron rod? And if the link is ... rod, then "Rod Stewart" doesn't really fit. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Kate @ #3598: I must have mistyped something myself, because I wrote "drinking utensil" (or meant to) for clue 3, and got marked as wrong. A decent wall, with some neat misdirection. The spelling mistakes don't make it unplayable, although it might slow some people down a little. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan Parsons @ #3624: This was offensive! I am not well acquainted with Popes. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lawrence @ #3633: Too many similar types of link, hardly ways (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lawrence @ #3632: Sorry, didn't like the nemo etc link (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #2974: I enjoyed having a try . Got a couple . varied and quirky ( the grid not me).. Thanks. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3470: I put 'silent first letter' and was given incorrect (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3478: Isle of Man has only 1 N ! (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3479: Really good one. Well done. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3479: What,s wrong with instrument makers! (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3532: I liked this grid. The comments were an unexpected bonus. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3624: Entertaining stuff. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Den @ #3493: Where is Stoke on Trent? (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3626: Nice grid. Maybe a bit harsh not to accept monastic orders but then I can't complain as I haven't set a puzzle myself and it can't be easy to please everyone. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Pale Fisher @ #2914: The Sun is NOT a planet! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Frank Hovis @ #3604: The first one I tried, failed horribly (9 years, 9 months ago)

Oh deer @ #1367: Poor and inaccurate (9 years, 9 months ago)

Hisley @ #3433: Left: Can means both, what is remaining and has gone. What is Left? (what is remaining) What has left? (what has gone) Both can be contracted to: What's Left? (which has both opposite definitions) Bound can mean both moving and an inability to move. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Not german @ #1352: difficult if you're not german. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jitt @ #3601: Didn't accept brands, which I can partially understand given it was British brands. Actors in Doctor Who was not accepted. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Suzy @ #3590: hard but compiled well - very good (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jill @ #3613: As others have said, followed by, not preceded. Also did not accept "film genre" as being correct, so need to expand your terms. Lack of variety (3 groups using "preceded"). (9 years, 9 months ago)

Suzy @ #3612: It was good until we got to the group of phobias. Why is "fear of something" not accepted? "Phobia's" is just repetition of what is in the words and btw the apostrophe should not be there. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Alec @ #3590: Excellent (9 years, 9 months ago)

sam @ #3603: The David Hare line was too specialised really (9 years, 9 months ago)

Joanne @ #3591: good grid - thanks (9 years, 9 months ago)

Dave @ #2560: Should have a French symbol next to it if you expect the links to be written in French too. (9 years, 9 months ago)

ceh104 @ #48: liked this but couldn't remember the word anagram - said all contained the same letters and got it wrong - oh well. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Suzy @ #3604: need to accept more answers eg new testament, currency (9 years, 9 months ago)

123 @ #3598: ...and bauble (9 years, 9 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #970: I found the big ass beer. It was behind the deer. I love Big Ass Beer Color. Great Wall, a bit too easy. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3603: Very tough for a non theatregoer. Serves me right for being uncultured despite my teachers' best efforts. (9 years, 9 months ago)

123 @ #3585: Alpha, not alfa (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3604: Good grid. As well as contests it would be helpful to accept books of the new testament. (9 years, 9 months ago)

BigKnob @ #3606: easswfa (9 years, 9 months ago)

Anon @ #3496: the link free text part is a bit tough.. I put synonyms for the boat one, and variation on the same word for the first but got them wrong. great quiz though!!! (9 years, 9 months ago)

Narrow neck @ #3604: Singing contests and gospels not accepted. Fun grid but please use key words / word stems for setting the answers (9 years, 9 months ago)

Jo-Jo @ #3592: Grid poster here. Sorry folks, I also thought the film was Carry on Cleo but then thought I saw a reference to Carry on Cleopatra thus thought I could use it as a red herring. I have asked for the grid to be removed. Synonyms was the answer but I was just trying to expand/clarify it. At least my links worked; which was the thing I struggled with at first. (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3578: Och aye (9 years, 9 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3548: "mythical creatures" is not accepted because the puzzle-maker forgot to use commas, so the only way you could get credit for it is if you typed in something containing the exact string "Myth Beast Creature" (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3550: World of Warcraft, is that like Game of Thrones (9 years, 9 months ago)

melanie @ #3548: Pokemon? (9 years, 9 months ago)

Wayne @ #3592: No such film as Carry On Cleopatra. It was called Carry On Cleo. Also, word can't be a synonym of itself - cruising isn't a synonym of cruising. (9 years, 9 months ago)

FlowerPower @ #3598: Sorry I spelled one of the words wrong - it's meant to say Tumbler. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Lawrence @ #3415: Too easy. No either/it's and correct solutions not accepted (9 years, 9 months ago)

Kate @ #71: Same comment as frank (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3586: I enjoyed this one . Gettable but a few nice red herrings. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3588: Yes. It would be a good idea to allow more alternative ways to answer. For instance " things you wear". It is fairly described as an easy grid but beginners might get discouraged if they are essentially right but get marked incorrect. (9 years, 9 months ago)

toast @ #3590: Yes that was hard all right but fair. It didn't need too much special knowledge but I could have done with about another ten minutes to sort it out. Good grid. (9 years, 9 months ago)

Javelin05 @ #3586: "Beatle" should read "Beetle" because they are all models of cars. Otherwise a good grid (9 years, 9 months ago)

Is @ #3582: Big Bang and number one Christmas songs both were incorrect :( (9 years, 10 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3588: 'rhyme' / 'clothing' not accepted (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3585: The deck is generally pretty good, and the overlaps aren't bad, but Tango and Foxtrot are 100% interchangeable, both dances and both used in the NATO phonetic alphabet, so the wall has two possible solutions. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Octofish @ #362: Axis-aligned is stretching it for Finland! (9 years, 10 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3585: Great one! So many red herrings and overlaps. Really well conceived. (9 years, 10 months ago)

big Chris @ #3584: Ridiculous links !!!!!!!! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Aaa @ #3580: put "places to keep animals" said wrong put "weight measures" said wrong put "currencies" and "Foreign currencies" said wrong (9 years, 10 months ago)

Octofish @ #358: Excellent job. Finished with just 8 seconds left. Great use of red herrings (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mimi @ #3580: I wrote "enclosures" but not allowed. These are scientific units of mass not weight! Money and currency also not allowed.... Otherwise no complaints! (9 years, 10 months ago)

ChrisMillsR1 @ #152: Nice 1, stumped by last two connections . . . (9 years, 10 months ago)

Davyhulme @ #3549: Good grid but spoilt by recognition. All mobile phone makers was marked incorrect. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Davyhulme @ #3552: Poor grid. Answered us state capitals and was incorrect. Didn't know eminem link and randomly input the word life and was marked correct. (9 years, 10 months ago)

vaigret @ #3552: Suzy +1 and toast +1 (9 years, 10 months ago)

Neilo @ #3536: Very good. Well thought out and lots of crossovers. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2043: I see where you were going - but rape isn't an oil. It's rapeseed oil. Otherwise good. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2052: Disappointing. Started well - but didn't accept 'sugar substitute'. Always so frustrating when the answer has to be specifically your words - which aren't actually a better definition than mine or the previous respondent who put 'sweetener'. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2058: Good wall - & unlike the previous commentator I know fondant potatoes is correct! I do them sometimes. But I agree that chips aren't yellow. That's my only gripe though (9 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #3264: Nice easyish one. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #3287: Tricky one. Didn't accept "sweets" though, Quality Street aren't all chocolates, there's a toffee button one. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #2769: Not bad. Stationery though, 'e' for envelope is how to remember. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Neilo @ #3549: Enjoyable- good crossovers. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #1140: Good easy grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Pharme718 @ #3502: Very nice site! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Pharma29 @ #3502: Very nice site! cheap goods (9 years, 10 months ago)

Suzy @ #3495: Typed "Formula one world champions" but it was marked as incorrect. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Suzy @ #3500: "spherical" is an adjective, not a noun - should have been "sphere" (9 years, 10 months ago)

Suzy @ #3536: (9 years, 10 months ago)

Octofish @ #351: nice grid - good red herrings, although I'd never heard of a murphy bed. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2039: Too hard for me! (9 years, 10 months ago)

melanie @ #3482: Can we have some more walls please (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3495: I liked this. Maybe Paula is having the same problem I have come across when playing on a tablet rather than a PC in that the answers sometimes don't show, particularly as you go lower down the grouped categories. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3218: Good one (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3220: Yes it was a fun grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3549: Much the same for me. I tried mobile device brands . I shouldn't try to sound smart. Decent grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

melanie @ #3469: Captain Square was in charge of the Eastgate platoon in Dad's Army. Good Wall (9 years, 10 months ago)

kate @ #27: Didn't accept stumble as the link for that row although that's what they all mean apparently (never heard of peck) Not really convinced about haircloth (9 years, 10 months ago)

chimera @ #3549: You should have tried 'technology' (9 years, 10 months ago)

nighswan @ #3538: A bit US-centric, but a good grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Suzy @ #3483: "items found in sewing box" not accepted. Not very varied: three lines had the same type of solution ie the connection was a suffix. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3550: A good spread of topics. I had no chance with Warcraft but as you might expect one category was just my cup of tea! (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3552: I put in nothing for the Eminem songs and was marked correct. Is that a subtle comment on the depth of his lyrics? Thanks for the grid anyway. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Gaz @ #2296: Nice one. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3529: Very hard in terms of needing knowledge but gives a fair chance to use a bit of imagination in some categories. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3532: "Grain" is spelled correctly; there is no Tolstoy story called The Grail. I don't see any other spelling mistakes you might be referring to. Also, "collies" is in fact accepted as an answer for that group. Other than that, your comments are spot on. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3532: 2 questions about classic literature and one about classical music doesn't offer the widest range. There are a few spelling mistakes, eg Grain instead of Grail. And not accepting Collies for breeds of collie is insane (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3533: Nice grid .Tricky to sort out words with different stresses that we can all agree on but I get what you are saying. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3538: I agree with the other comments but I have been thinking about a grid of my own and as a result I appreciate how well you are all doing to give the rest of us enjoyable puzzles. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3538: Several misspellings detract from the quality of the grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

booRocket @ #3538: I liked it, although types of bass seems quite obscure to me. (9 years, 10 months ago)

BooRocket @ #3533: The content in this newsletter is rubbish. I am content with my life. (9 years, 10 months ago)

BooRocket @ #3527: Whoops I missed an n in mayonnaise! Is it not possible to edit them? This is my first one - sorry! (9 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3520: Grids should only have one logical solution, knowing all the clues. There can be red herrings that fit into more than one category but in the final solution no two answers sjlhould be interchangeable. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Pharme237 @ #3502: Very nice site! cheap goods (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3104: I believe you could make valid groupings in various ways: Move "eye" to the Black category (Black Eye) Move "Beard" out of Black into Blue (Bluebeard, as in Duke Bluebeard's Castle) Move "Velvet" out of Blue into Red (Red Velvet, as in Red Velvet cake) - Or move "Eye" into the Pink category (Pinkeye) Move "Panther" from Pink to Black (Black Panther, either the animal or the political activist) And once again Beard goes to Blue, and Velvet (or for that matter blood) moves to Red.

booRocket @ #3104: This is great! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Dylan @ #204: I absolutely disagree. If one of the clues is spelt wrong, how are you supposed to know whether it is deliberate or not? It undermines the whole concept. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Octofish @ #339: Hawks???? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Vanilla @ #3520: I disagree with Mr A. Surely, that is the point of the concept of "red herrings". I liked this grid, didn't get all the answers in the time, but thought it was challenging; and I liked the fact that "Henry, Newton and Pascal" could trip me up. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Smithe737 @ #3502: I've been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this website. Thanks, I'll try and check back more frequently. How frequently you update your site? efeecgekecdddeab (9 years, 10 months ago)

melanie @ #3427: I thought Rupert was real (9 years, 10 months ago)

Dylan @ #3520: In a sense , the highest quality grids are the easiest. If the connections are forced, it is more difficult to work out the answer needed. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Dylan @ #3433: I don't accept that left has two meanings that are opposite; they are different but not opposite. Likewise bound. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Dylan @ #3438: I don't think liquorice all sorts and chocolates are the same category. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3480: Another very entertaining grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

Anton @ #2077: Good grid, but didn't accept "Dance" and "World Cup hosts", which is somewhat unfair. (9 years, 10 months ago)

LVGtheflatfacedgiraffe @ #3522: Excellent grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

LVGtheflatfacedgiraffe @ #3519: I was doing okay, but then I mixed up 'John Malkovich' and 'John Malkovich' so couldn't finish it. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3520: To clarify, having played a second time, any one of Henry, Newton and Pascal could easily be switched with Ohm to make two groups with the same relations. This is a big flaw in an otherwise very good grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3520: It's a grid full of little tricks and red herrings which I like. I felt good about solving it. But there are a fair few possible SI units in the Physicist category (eg Ohm) and most of the SI units are named after Physicists (eg Newton) , which means there are quite a few possible solutions, and it was only through luck that one could find what you've deemed the "correct" one (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3492: Very good! Lots of threes to mislead. I have no idea what a blue note is. Nice variety of subjects covered. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3496: Nice! I might dispute "oared" as being a recognisable word, presumably you were a bit desperate to find a fourth one?! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3357: Your connection "A" would be better termed "single item". In the group of games, your connection is "game of" but one of your options is "a game". You don't have a game of a game. Needs a bit of work. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3372: Not bad, but a bit one-sided if one is not an expert on the 1920s. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3373: Some of the answers were a bit obscure ("Germany"?) but the red herrings were very good. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3487: Not bad, but a bit one-sided. The programme is about testing width of knowledge, not specialist subjects. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3431: You do not appear to have understood what you are being asked to supply. All of your choices are single letters, and all four of your connections are "letters". A waste of time. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3477: This is a very poor attempt indeed. You appear to have copied text for your options without checking that they are actually real words, and you have not given any answers at all. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3408: Poor attempt: you have two lines all just "letters" with no logic to it at all. I get the feeling that you gave up. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3383: Very nice, not too difficult, I chose just "names" for that group, I didn't even spot that they were palindromes: good choice to include one boy's name. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Toomuchtimeonhands @ #3517: This is really hard! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3510: Tea, air, dust and orange juice are all "examples of mixtures"? That group could do with some work, frankly. Dust? Mixture implies that someone has chosen the ingredients to mix. And I would query whether orange juice is actually a mixture at all. Orange squash would be. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3512: Your connections are gibberish. The whole grid is far too one-sided, politics may be your speciality by the programme is based around general knowledge. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3515: Nothing, bo, scott and bubble boy are all connected by "scott"? This is nonsensical. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3517: There is no sense to this grid at all. Four names and the link is "teenage children" is simply nonsensical. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2135: *previous. Embarrassing! (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2135: Agree with precious posters. Good grid let down by quarts error and overly rigid correct answer profile (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2148: Zorrata's right. I got 3 answers right, but they were not given. Frustrating. (9 years, 10 months ago)

sb @ #12: crap, too easy and answers not accepted when they are right (9 years, 10 months ago)

Big Bird @ #2526: The Saints answer is a little obvious... (9 years, 10 months ago)

Paula @ #3495: wish they'd let us know what the connection is when we can't figure it out (9 years, 10 months ago)

Marc @ #3478: It's Isle of Man, not Isle of Mann. And "DJs" should probably have been ok for the radio 1 presenters? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Big Bird @ #3: Polar solvent???? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Big Bird @ #583: Dog a bit obvious - but okay. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2171: Agree with previous posters about the grid setter ducking the answers. Also places in Devon disallowed. Trains disallowed. Off with his head! (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2178: A goodie! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mimi @ #3482: Very clever! (9 years, 10 months ago)

vaigret @ #3483: disappointed sewing not in acceptable word for needlework (9 years, 10 months ago)

Skywalker @ #3425: "hazards on chemicals in the lab" is not a very good answer, nor is "indicators". You seem to be very chemically minded, these grids should be comprised of more than one subject. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2222: Common yam recipes. Tautology! Settlers of Catan! Kelsey. As Anton said - obscure to say the least. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2226: Some good ideas. Let down by some slightly weak links for New York and the Circus. (9 years, 10 months ago)

reg pubes @ #2494: this was rubbish (9 years, 10 months ago)

Blorp @ #2803: Why are the categories so ridiculously difficult to type correctly? Can't be getting your exact sentences. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Self @ #3490: (just a tester one to see how it worked and make sure the link text was chosen well. It wasn't) (9 years, 10 months ago)

Peter @ #3489: Interesting (9 years, 10 months ago)

j @ #3479: Poor triggers for the answers. I had right answers for 2 of them but all came up as incorrect. (9 years, 10 months ago)

jen @ #3471: state bank etc as stations which they are and is incorrect,likewise blue ivy etc as celebritys children which they are as well as being children of artistes. need better flixibility rarher than exact answer that suits you. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Howard @ #3483: Very good - shorter simpler words mean harder in my book (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fred @ #2176: Too obscure (9 years, 10 months ago)

Alex @ #3471: I put beer as the answer any chance of adding that? Good grid didn't know the celebrity children answer (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3471: Nice first grid. Still pondering mine. Very hard to be imaginative, inclusive and in command of the tech stuff. Well done even if the celebrities are not familiar to me. Who knows If I win that lottery .....? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #3470: super wall, the silent letter words a great idea! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #3471: Good effort Jo for first time! (9 years, 10 months ago)

ewp512 @ #3475: Don't think "plain T-shirt" or "sleeveless shirt" are sufficiently common expressions (9 years, 10 months ago)

ewp512 @ #3442: Doesn't recognise "doctors" as answer to third row! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Davyhulme @ #3473: Not a bad grid but poor recognition and an obscure link. (9 years, 10 months ago)

ewp512 @ #3473: Last one doesn't recognise "Newcastle" as link?! Shirley Henderson is pretty obscure Butter ball is a Yank expression.. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Jo-Jo @ #3471: This is the first grid I have submitted. Sorry folks, I didn't understand the "linking terms" properly. This meant I couldn't get the right answers for my own grid! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Podiathingg @ #3469: What are tomoto's. Surely you mean tomatoes. Impossible to get connection correct is spelling wrong. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Podiathingg @ #3469: What are tomoto's. Surely you mean tomatoes. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3458: I found this hard but enjoyable (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3468: Very good grid though I don't recall there being more than one mouse and that just ran up and down the clock. Maybe it has been given a sequel since I read it a long time ago. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3469: I liked this a lot though I was wrong footed by the cunning red herrings. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3467: Not a bad grid, but like the person below I don't care for the Beatles question which, anyway, is factually wrong. Homophones and rhymes are not the same thing. Stall, for example, rhymes with Paul, but does not sound the same, so it's a rhyme not a homophone... (9 years, 10 months ago)

Brigitte @ #3469: super wall, found it much more challenging than forecast, excellent use of red herrings as I thought there were a group of cluedo personalities! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Davyhulme @ #3467: Poor recognition. Beatles link is just plain stupid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #2665: good fun, easy as listed (9 years, 10 months ago)

Jan @ #3465: good fun but not too challenging (9 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #3465: easy but well compiled wall for those new to them (9 years, 10 months ago)

PancakeFace @ #3457: Since this was our first grid, there were a few mistakes involving the links. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Brigitte @ #3465: (9 years, 10 months ago)

Two eyes @ #3457: good grid, well thought out, we had no problems putting the links in. Ok the flowers were a bit easy, but enough re herrings to make you think! (9 years, 10 months ago)

barney @ #3456: nice level well done (9 years, 10 months ago)

david dunne @ #3462: challlening (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mimi @ #3457: How come it accepts "fish" but not "cake"? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Delilah @ #3459: Nice grid but I found it extremely easy! Basic O-level standard - solved it in seconds. (9 years, 10 months ago)

R @ #3450: Really enjoyed it. Fun quiz (9 years, 10 months ago)

Highlands @ #3417: Great! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Paolo @ #2296: Cool puzzle (9 years, 10 months ago)

puzzgridexpert @ #0: Really clever quiz, load of cross overs, very imaginative. Got caught out by a lot of red herrings! maybe I just need the practice lol! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Rich @ #3457: got all of the links correct, but didn't get points for two of them! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Ewan @ #3458: Solved the sets in 2 mins but only 2/4 links.... (9 years, 10 months ago)

ABC @ #3457: Disappointing "_cake" or "all end in cake" wasn't accepted. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #3442: Nice one 'sweet' prefix a clever one! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #1708: This is absolutely brilliant, loved it!! Keep up the good work abelataha2!! (9 years, 10 months ago)

JEG @ #3436: In 'parts played by more than one actor', I put 'parts recast' but this wasn't accepted, even though the meaning is the same. For 'parts played by Australians', I wrote 'abdicated' and this was accepted as correct??? Shame as otherwise a good grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #3460: Nintendo princesses and transformer robots? You do know this is a site for people other than spotty teenagers, right? (9 years, 10 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3389: Ah shoot, you're so right. I'd love a way to go back and change it... (9 years, 10 months ago)

HughHugh @ #3428: Good grid... but insanely difficult! 0/10 for me (9 years, 10 months ago)

BrodieFish @ #3435: Nice, enjoyable wall. Maybe try not to put it in all caps though (9 years, 10 months ago)

Sonja @ #3427: Correct answers? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Anton @ #2159: Decent wall, but should've accepted "occupations" and "holding in liquid". (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2433: Answers algorithm needs looking at. "Ships that fought at the battle of the River Plate" labelled incorrect! Also not sure that the Zeus and co would be happy at their description as mere mythological figures as opposed to gods/Goddesses or deities. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2466: Who's the more foolish, the fool, or the fool who follows him? That would be me then... (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2470: Very tough. But I respected the challenge even if I was rubbish on this occasion. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2502: Tough! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Trey @ #3383: Ok (9 years, 10 months ago)

Andy @ #3389: There are multiple valid solutions to this. For example, two of the groups (Flag colours, G7) can also be correctly arranged in another way by Countries bordering the Pacific Ocean (USA, Canada, Japan, Chile), and Countries in Europe (France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands) (9 years, 10 months ago)

davyhulme @ #3415: The premier league manager connection is poor and may only be valid for a short period of time (9 years, 10 months ago)

G @ #3415: The four categories themselves are too easy to find - there aren't any red herrings! But then the descriptions needed are too picky (e.g 'UK Prime Ministers', 'Football Managers', 'UK cities not accepted), Victoria would never be that mean!! (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2508: Generally tough and good. However, for me, two answers with quartet in it demonstrated a lack of range even within one genre. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Andrew galley @ #3222: I liked that very much thank you sir! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Tomm palmer @ #3222: Very good quiz thank you very much sir (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2511: Liked it. My first 10/10. (9 years, 10 months ago)

PTiddy @ #2525: Enjoyable. Got 7/10. Dropped only due to identifying foreign footballers in the premier league, but not the golden boot element. (9 years, 10 months ago)

j @ #3415: Prime ministers not accepted for one question. Leonardo Dicaprio not accepted for another. UK cities not accepted for yet another. (9 years, 10 months ago)

anon78 @ #3388: Nice grid. Like it (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3415: I don't like that you insist on being so specific on all of the connections, and the premiere league question will date almost immediately. Other than that, fine. (9 years, 10 months ago)

TROLL @ #3396: Warm us up man (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3383: I liked it. I think expecting it to take movie stars as an answer when the group contains 1 movie star, 2 musicians and 1 TV star/comedian is completely ridiculous and not something you need to think of (9 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3361: Grids are given an initial difficulty by the setter but after a certain number of ratings the community's difficulty rating takes over. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3256: Just goes to show how hard it is to suit everyone. That was the only one I got close to! But keep it up regardless! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3388: Really nice one! I got two of four groups, and then all of the connections (6/10) - I wanted to kick myself for the groups I missed! Obvious in hindsight but I couldn't get them sorted out in time. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3361: I rated this one "very easy" but it's still well made and very enjoyable. And it's always nice to have some easier, but still intelligent, grids in the pool. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Neilo @ #3388: V good. (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3361: also :: i thought i put 'medium' for this as it is yes.. rather easy but i do think given certain aspects more apt for it.. what do you think @puzzGrid? i have been reading other peoples' {hrmmm apostrophe is that in the right place?!!} comments etc. & am wanting to add to the quality & quantity too i suppose.. of the 'medium' catagory & some easier ones are needed there i think. ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

- @ #3360: what? (9 years, 10 months ago)

INAPPROPRIATE @ #3360: THIS GRID IS OFFENSIVE. (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3359: oh now i definitely believe you are victoria coren.... especially since you used the term "lol".... anyway :: fun grid.. it wasn't too fiendish.. i got 3 of which 2 i knew. ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3361: hi all :::: hope you enjoy this fairly easy 'medium' grid. it has a bit of a theme of love.. peace & taking time for the little things if you can.... ♡+☮ to you all.. natalichka :::: (9 years, 10 months ago)

! @ #996: It's aunt joanna you mug (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: hi @puzzGrid........ i am definitely going to donate some money as soon as i set up a new account for it.. in the middle of some stuff at the moment but i will get to it eventually & asap.. anyone else reading this PLEASE DONATE TO THIS SITE AS IT IS VERY AWESOME!! in the meantime i am working on some more quality grids for everyone. kind regards & peace everyone! ^_^ natalichka :::: (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3192: seriously.. just a clue as to how to solve this....? ^_^ am i missing a language thing.. highly doubt it.. perhaps a code style? (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3193: ok what am i missing here....? ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3356: hello.. i have to say that this is definitely not for the 'easy' group. i did get the blue shades first off easily but it went downhill from there or should i say i did! i scraped it together & got the very good style of 'animals within other words' one.. although that is mainly a clue for a medium level i would say. i didn't know the buddy ones aside from buddy holly.. & i do not think i even know what a mouse or coconut mat are.. either way the very long & annoying point i am making is it was not easy. my apologies for the long comment.. your grid does have excellent elements to it & i am working on one with some similar styles but at this point it is destined for the 'fiendish' group. in fact i am trying to make it a little less so. anyway :: i did enjoy the animals & blues very much simple & hard too.. the buddy ones perhaps i shall look up.. but please do enlighten me on the coconut & mouse mats if you can.... kind regards :: ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

Cordova @ #1858: You should also accept quadrangles for the 4 sided shapes. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Janeymaine @ #2322: Sport, sport or sport......no good. First group ? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Lif Thompson @ #3347: Thanks :D (9 years, 10 months ago)

Lydia @ #3297: I enjoyed this very much. Something about it was just right. Cheers & keep up the good work. :-) (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3348: very red herring-full! and actually i realise i need more practice! ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

DC @ #2769: Stationary is spelt Stationery (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3336: I wasn't a fan of this grid. As a Chemist, the oxidising agents question made me happy but it's the only group I liked. I think knowing the real name of youtuber "boogie2988" and the corresponding ASCII letter for 65 is a bit much to expect, especially when the appropriate clue instead of boogie would have been Boogie2988. The other one advert is actually called "the other half" and A does not correspond to a because it IS a. A clue cannot be a clue for itself. All these things made the grid very difficult to solve and not as enjoyable as it could have been. (9 years, 10 months ago)

zuzu @ #40: positively fiendish (9 years, 10 months ago)

ice @ #3348: very good, liked your use of red herrings (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalicnka @ #3308: molto buono! i really liked this one. got them all in the nick of time! only now i feel like some snuff! haha! ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3338: ok.. i somehow solved this.. ^_^ well the nintendo super mario series were good for me to start with.. then mythical beasts/animals.. although the spelling of phoenix put me off.. as it is incorrect. as for the other 2 groups.. i somehow got them.. & i really should get into 'the hunger games' as i do hear good things. all in all still an enjoyable grid to do.... ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalicnka @ #3343: @Wolfdog :: yes! that made me stop & think that other things were missing an "ell"! oh well.... hehe. i liked the homophones of demonyms. i typed in "silent" for that group & it didn't give me a "correct!" sadly.. did you put just the word silent as an answer option? perhaps not.... anyway :: still excellent although i am not yet up to series 10.... taking my time here in melbourne. ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

JF @ #2256: Great fun! Agree that Primes should also suffice for one category. (9 years, 10 months ago)

bulliedatwork @ #3344: the lyrics are just words! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2156: Rather annoying that firearms was not accepted. A Winchester is a rifle - NOT a gun - so your own answer is incorrect. This should be amended. Otherwise good. (9 years, 10 months ago)

janeymaine @ #3342: Good fun! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Cordova @ #3269: It would be nice if "BL Cars" was accepted. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3343: "Mitchell" got truncated for some reason... too many characters, I guess? Bah. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mel and Chris @ #3330: Nice and easy peasey (9 years, 10 months ago)

Angel delight @ #3341: Clever quiz (9 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3308: Caps don't matter. "Oscar" its own might have helped more people get the tick, but it's good! (9 years, 10 months ago)

vannilla ice @ #3336: did not accept "john lewis advert"........ (9 years, 10 months ago)

beauty @ #3281: The answers dont make sense! (9 years, 10 months ago)

smiley @ #3308: Sorry guys, my fault. Both answers should have been accepted, I just tried cocaine and it worked, do capitals matter? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Davyhulme @ #3308: Entered Cocaine and was incorrect ????? Otherwise not a bad grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

RChizzle @ #3331: Very clever. I didn't do too well. Enjoyable, though! (9 years, 10 months ago)

RChizzle @ #3329: Nice one! I knew them all apart from the Snatch characters... Although I got a bit distracted and ran out of time. (9 years, 10 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #951: SO HIGH (9 years, 10 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #950: Never do a grid again. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Julie @ #3268: Nice grid, enjoyed this (9 years, 10 months ago)

Gemma @ #3318: Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (9 years, 10 months ago)

Cordova @ #3308: For the movie question I entered "Best Picture Oscar winners" and it marked it as incorrect. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Neilo @ #3305: Excellent. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2159: I've never heard of a bottle being sealed with a lid! The answer was too specific on this one - but otherwise a good wall (9 years, 10 months ago)

Julie @ #3304: Trying to think of something constructive to say and failing, sorry. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mrs Hulland @ #3319: This was very difficult. Especially for non-French-speakers. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #3241: 'Metals' rejected for the elements group. Otherwise lovely :) (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3295: Pretty darn good. That last word question with Abi etcetera was a very difficult one, but I really enjoyed the grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3298: Delicious, and well made. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3299: I was actually pretty impressed by this. A few nice red herrings, a nice challenging quiz. Maybe doesn't test the broadest range of knowledge but pretty good. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3304: Are you kidding me? No, seriously, are you kidding me? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #410: Thisa muste be the worst grid anoyone a ever made on the puzzs gridd. Even may beloved gradnmother makes a better grids. And she iza dead because she was off her tits on coke. Like me. And I found the deer. (9 years, 10 months ago)

biscuits @ #3304: too random, not very well thought out. final group not really a group. (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3298: Clever stuff (9 years, 10 months ago)

Narrow Neck @ #3299: Fun grid, thanks. Didn't accept British PMs though as an answer. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3297: Yes honestly I think the site needs more high-quality but easy - medium grids. It's always much much harder from the solver's POV than the creator realizes when they make it, I think. (9 years, 10 months ago)

joanne @ #3249: should be able to type goose, and still be right (9 years, 10 months ago)

Mr A @ #3287: Jimmy and Alan have the surname Carr, they aren't really cars in the same way as bubble and electric. Other than that, pretty good. (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3225: this one was just right for me. right now. loved it. not crazy hard.. but with great thought.... it took me a while with the coil concept although it was my first thought.. also a great mix too! indeed shows good original thinking.. & still enjoy your detailed explanations. thank you! ^_^ ooooh p.s. click through the first few pages just from the main page & you will find more of mine.. harder & better than the one i just did i think. anyway hope you enjoy.... peace. (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3275: this definitely was difficult.. excellent & like that you properly explained the answers with detail. it was certainly needed for me as i only really got one fully correct. it certainly was good for finding the interesting connections like round 1 of 'only connect'. thanks for fiendishly hard yet interesting grid! ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3297: oh yes.. i did change it to "medium" at the last moment. anyway :::: enjoy all.... love & peace. (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3297: oooh! thank you @Wolfdog! yes perhaps it should have been classed as 'medium'.... hrmmm.... what do you all think? it is good to have some easier "hard" ones perhaps.. if that makes sense! ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3297: hi everyone :::: just a quick grid.... i was working on it having more depth/detail perhaps but a friend suggested i keep it this way. so i do hope you all enjoy it enough. perhaps not enough red herrings.. despite at least one definite up there! hehe! ^_^ shall try to put another one up very soon. ♡&☮ (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3297: I liked this one! Not too hard, very enjoyable. (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: @puzzGrid :::: aaaaah.. i see.. you should mention this on the about page.. having said that i must re-read it! ^_^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3287: the original bubble car was a mazda small compact car here in melbourne.. i thought it was very cute! ^^ (9 years, 10 months ago)

natalichka @ #3296: please don't feel sad... [unless you are referring to this website/concept as sad.. in which case.. well.. you are sad!] i assume you are not tho'.... i know sometimes things can be so sad.. but the darkest hour is still only 60 minutes long.. i read that recently.. hope me just saying anything helps.... ♡+☮ (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #1700: I like it too (9 years, 10 months ago)

Debs @ #3269: Disappointed with e.g. "Tower" showing as incorrect because you wanted the plural (9 years, 10 months ago)

Debs @ #3268: Not too stretching (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #1708: Crikey this is a bit clerev . Well done (9 years, 10 months ago)

toast @ #3249: Nice and varied (9 years, 10 months ago)

Bob @ #3293: Very good (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3287: I was pleased with myself for recognizing the "stuffing" category even though I'm from the US. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Huh? @ #3233: A little too difficult to be honest, no means of comparing the answers to start grouping them (9 years, 10 months ago)

Narrow neck @ #3262: Enjoyable grid thanks but it's nonsense not noscene :) (9 years, 10 months ago)

Narrow neck @ #3266: Nice grid thanks (9 years, 10 months ago)

Aimone @ #3269: Tower rejected and Brit Cars also rejected (9 years, 10 months ago)

mmmm @ #3272: Which stories????? (9 years, 10 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3275: One small typo - sorry - but it shouldn't affect the playability of the grid. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #3254: Great grid! Way too much Apple, though, fanboi ;-) (9 years, 10 months ago)

TDogg @ #3093: Good clean fun. Liked the dead ends. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #3269: Made somewhat easier by some clues having initial caps and others not! Also many correct answers rejected (eg "tower") (9 years, 10 months ago)

Charlie @ #573: Clever and fun. I like it. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Anton @ #2294: I'm quite glad I have no idea of the names of the members of 5ive!! (9 years, 10 months ago)

rival @ #3243: Good, but I'm not too happy that my answer 'Hungarian' was rejected (9 years, 10 months ago)

rival @ #3236: Yeah, I think that they meant Carousel. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Charlie @ #2621: A nice quiz. Could probably do with "misspelt" being an answer, not just misspellings. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2237: Unfortunately Saber is spelt Sabre in the UK - so what I thought was a clever misdirection for people who can't spell was actually annoying for people who can. Otherwise a good wall. Thanks (9 years, 10 months ago)

Cordova @ #3242: For the elements question, they are all metals so that should be an acceptable answer. (9 years, 10 months ago)

Fester @ #2252: A bit let down by "They are all slippy". But otherwise a good wall. Thanks (9 years, 10 months ago)

robincac @ #3048: good fun grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

rcac @ #3255: obscure (9 years, 10 months ago)

narrow neck @ #3230: Very enjoyable grid (9 years, 10 months ago)

BrodieFish @ #3256: 3 really nice grids you've put up, nice job. The Elizabeth Taylor one is maybe a bit disproportionately difficult compared to the others though! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fester @ #2347: A potentially good wall spoiled by poor recognition. I put in "Isle of _". It said incorrect! I put in "Bond actor Christian names". It said incorrect! Incredibly frustrating and spoils the game. Sad. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fester @ #2476: Agree with previous comments. A potentially good wall spoiled by poor recognition. Christmas wasn't accepted. Nor was Succeeded by Band. Very disappointing (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mick @ #3230: Motorcycle manufacturers was incorrect???? (9 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #3230: Enjoyed this. Some nice red herrings (9 years, 11 months ago)

Royal_Flu$h @ #3243: Hey, thanks man. It's my first one but I hope to make more :-) (9 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3243: Pretty straightforward but satisfying. Well made! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Tom @ #3225: Another brilliantly original one. Keep up the good work! (9 years, 11 months ago)

MD73 @ #3170: METHANE IN CLEAN AIR? UNSURE ABOUT CHESS POSITIONS. NERDY QUIZ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #3242: A pleasantly straightforward one. It still took a little thinking to come up with one of the connections (the Einstein group) but it was satisfying when I realized it. (9 years, 11 months ago)

MD73 @ #2748: TRICKY, RED HERRING CITY! (9 years, 11 months ago)

MD73 @ #3214: HARD UNLESS KNOW (9 years, 11 months ago)

MD73 @ #3229: SOMEWHAT TAXING (9 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3168: Sorry I missed these questions - things come up faint until we have enough info to assign them a quality - it's not a problem. People just need to play the faint grids and rate them. (9 years, 11 months ago)

MD73 @ #96: Story/writings not accepted! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Danny @ #3215: @natalichka yes, you are quiet right about the boat thing although I hadn't thought of it until the game had already gone live. Glad it didn't spoil your enjoyment too much though (9 years, 11 months ago)

MD73 @ #3236: Not bad. Not heard of carousal before (9 years, 11 months ago)

gylo @ #2380: very good more please (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #47: Great work (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fester @ #2666: Curry Pie? You might as well have said Chips! Far too tenuous (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fester @ #2686: I also said Landrover. It said it was wrong. And said Scouting names. Needs to be more flexible with answers - but ok though. Thanks (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fiona @ #2689: Disagree with previous comment. It's definitely challenging - thank you - but not too hard once you've cracked a couple of links. Good cross-overs & Star Wars one good - if a little old for some (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3220: Great fun. Lots of good cross-overs. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: yes. this grid is pretty damn good if i do indeed say so myself. ^_- (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: aaaaw thank you @Jen.... will try to do ,ore along a similar vein.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3199: yes.. i enjoyed this too. pretty simple but really good.. plus i need to practice putting words that go with a common word as you've done above. so cheers! (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3215: a very good mix.. always love some music.. palindromes.. & such. however :: to be persnickety about the boat one.. aside from gondola the other three generally need to be preceded by the word boat to be recognised as such.. so it's inconsistent is all really. that is all i had to annoy you with.. thank you for the grid! i will try a harder one of your's now.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3184: hi :: @Gil thank you! it is so hard even for me a week later! ^_^ @term yah.. i noticed that.. well it is so hard & not really the correct game style so perhaps it should & it would make me happy too! ^_^ {cc: @PuzzGrid} (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fiona @ #2711: Started so well - but I was marked "wrong" for giving Stephen King, Tom Hanks and European capital cities as answers. All were correct - but how can anyone get your very specific definitions. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fiona @ #2719: Ben & Jerry was marked wrong. As was Kitchen implements. Very annoying in what was otherwise a good puzzle. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Julie @ #3138: Not to hard, nice one (9 years, 11 months ago)

Julie @ #3143: Well made with some good red herrings (9 years, 11 months ago)

Julie @ #3199: Enjoyed this (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3214: Fun grid. Wider definitions needed on some the 'correct' answers. It's hard to create a Victoria Corren-Mitchell here to prompt with a "can you be more specific"? (9 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #3209: Good one (9 years, 11 months ago)

J-Dog Army @ #3199: Top Grid (9 years, 11 months ago)

Fiona @ #2980: Agree with other comments. Started well - but marked 2 of my answers wrong when they were correct. I also put Michael, State Capitals, Vice Presidents and Explorers. Good try though (9 years, 11 months ago)

Robincac @ #3190: yellow jersey a bit weak. (9 years, 11 months ago)

x @ #2699: 'doctors' not accepted for the doctor who question. The character's name is 'The Doctor' or 'Doctor' not Doctor Who. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #1396: it was great. only one i didn't get was the beds.... is "full" a proper size if al the others have king.. queen.. & so on? maybe.. it is not my speciality! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #853: i found the quality & christmas theme excellent. however it was not easy.. it was certainly great to get them all in the end though. cheers! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #1447: my understanding is the "low" countries are the same as the "benelux".... anyway :: this seems to be a roundabout way of saying i actually like the connection.. but just need clarification. i have always enjoyed maps & countries & all sorts of geographical stuff. peace.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #1447: ok.. a fair grid. 3 sports topics.. of which i got all the answers by the way. there didn't seem to be particular "red herrings" (or perhaps i just didn't see them). however.. countries is not a strong enough answer although technically correct perhaps.... what exactly are the "low" countries? ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

rare @ #2352: maybe allow "stores" as okay as "supermarkets" (9 years, 11 months ago)

wawa @ #2425: can the "puto" typo be fixed? (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3038: Fiendish. One group very random (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3104: I like your style Daphne (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3104: Excellent. Many crossovers. Good idea (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3093: Very good red herrings (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3072: Cardboard ... The first row is the one you solve first (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3062: Very enjoyable (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3049: Excellent but one clue I did not get. Maybe esoteric (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3112: Enjoyable (9 years, 11 months ago)

term @ #3180: This feels like it should have been marked with the US flag, but pretty decent otherwise. (9 years, 11 months ago)

term @ #3184: I typed by accident the same answer in two groups, and it worked for both! That makes me far more happy than it should. (9 years, 11 months ago)

newparent @ #3177: Rude! (9 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #3174: This was good but not all the answers would come up (9 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #3176: Nice mix of testing knowledge and intelligence. Which is where I lost the plot (9 years, 11 months ago)

toast @ #3179: Clever and enjoyable (9 years, 11 months ago)

Gil @ #3184: Brilliant! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Michael @ #806: MissyG and Nobby, you are poor judges of grids. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #278: My daughter is a hello girl. And she is off her tits - and on coke. Like her father. I found the deer. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3186: very nice. simple & thoughtful too. it is important to put words like clothing as well as clothes in the answers spaced with commas after them (as instructions say) so that way.. the answer that is still possibly correct gets the point & makes extra happy feelings for all.. hehe! thanks for a nice quiz grid! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

nfar @ #3168: loved the oxymorons! haha! (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3127: indeed interesting.... liked the organs as i knew skin would be one! huzzah me! also 70s bands.. very cool.. are you from australia perchance?! (kerrang) ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Lydia @ #3184: Enjoyable & difficult. Found the flowers very easily and the colours too, compared to some of the other groups. Would be good to have this working somehow on the site as I enjoy this style too. Thank you very much. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Paul @ #3183: Excellent maths I love Mr Murphy's lesson (9 years, 11 months ago)

narrow neck @ #2492: Nice grid. Fun. (9 years, 11 months ago)

JJscotty @ #3186: Could not get the first links but the I just saw it in the last 30 seconds. Hell yeah!!! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Peter @ #3186: Love it. Harder then I though it would be. Not always the obvious links (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jonathon @ #3186: Clever! The links are obvious when you realise what they are but cleverly constructed to make it very hard.... But fun!!!!!' (9 years, 11 months ago)

name @ #3170: "Air" not accepted for the gases in air (9 years, 11 months ago)

jojo @ #2665: "young" is incorrect but "baby" would be okay??? (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3174: i liked it very much.... 'though the answers didn't seem to come up for me. make sure to put a couple of possibilities at least for the answers when there are several ways of putting it.... ie: rabbit, rabbits, otherwise nice connections.... merci! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3184: hello all! ok this is an inspired "missing vowels" styled round. it is trs difficult without the connections.... so here they are :: FRENCH WORDS OR PHRASES USED IN ENGLISH COLOURS FLOWERS FAMOUS ARTISTS good luck! ^_^ {also :: perhaps to make these rounds possible we could have a little box to put the connection perhaps? ..@puzzgrid?} (9 years, 11 months ago)

She @ #3165: ok (9 years, 11 months ago)

Narrow neck @ #3179: Great grid. Very hard but all made sense once deciphered. Good having all same type of word. I only scored 4! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Narrow neck @ #3133: Thanks Natalichka. Yes, from Auckland, from UK originally :) (9 years, 11 months ago)

wildflower @ #3129: perfect. i love the missing vowels! (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3175: rather well done. nice categories. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3180: spectaculaaaaaaaar! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3127: Interesting (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3156: Challenging (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #3165: Very interesting (9 years, 11 months ago)

Claire @ #3175: (9 years, 11 months ago)

Ben @ #1060: Easy first way in (9 years, 11 months ago)

Hughhugh @ #3165: "Rulers" not accepted for the "royal titles" group (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jen @ #2982: Excellent (9 years, 11 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #1070: I've got 8 points on this one, because I'm off my tits on coke. And I found the dear deer. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #1161: trs fantastique! i got it with only seconds to go! also you have clearly set it up well as it received my answers well also. merci! hehe! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #1708: fantastique! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #184: I liked it. Not complex links but thought provoking (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #2748: Like the red herrings (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #2621: Classy and innovative (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3169: Difficult but well thought out. Id have added a small 'a' as a possible answer to the preceding words group. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3165: Well done. Challenging. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3163: Fun and tricky too- took some working out. (9 years, 11 months ago)

dave @ #186: one of the best well done mate-tricky tho (9 years, 11 months ago)

nick @ #3165: decent grid well done (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3008: nice.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3148: it was great. next time i may say more.... peace: ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: nooooooo! why? oh why is it coming up light again!?? i checked the right option.. & triple checked it all yo! *cries* {i understand you have a life & all dear @puzzgrid....} perhaps some more detail is needed in the submit part for others so things don't go wrong as often.. i have noticed a lot of 'feint' looking new grids lately in fact. natalichka :::: (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3166: the difficulty was too concentrated in certain areas that may be more a UK thing as i live in melbourne.. australia.. it was still a good lot of connections.. just not up my alley.... >_< hehe! thanks for putting it up & it was still much fun as i was on the cusp of many! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Lydia @ #3168: Very good. I like your thinking. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3168: hello to @puzzgrid......! what do you think of this one? ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #2297: this is certainly one of my very favourite grids! i loved it all.. just perfect for me right now.. plus i like that you put "mmmm" after the answer with the berries! hehe.. i totally agree.. yum. thank you for a great grid. peace.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Polylondon @ #3146: Bit harsh not accepting garments! (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3165: overall a very good grid! good "red herrings" & thoughtful topics. it was most fun to do.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3156: p.s. sure.. one can't think of every answer outcome by a person and this is not live person to person.. but for example the "jerry, robin, hardy, & watson" group was a great one.. & your answer very well put but i put "partner duo" & it didn't recognise that & i would say that it is a fair response to have as correct. anyway :: thank you again for a fun grid! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3156: i really liked this one.. however please make sure to check on how the answers are best filled in so people get "the points" so-to-speak as it helps to feel good! hehe! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Poly @ #1747: Nice - lots of variety (9 years, 11 months ago)

Ml @ #3156: Good (9 years, 11 months ago)

Polylondon @ #2289: Sorry, agree with the others! Otherwise, nice puzzle. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Polylondon @ #583: Neat but a bit easy (9 years, 11 months ago)

Polylondon @ #573: Very pleasing (9 years, 11 months ago)

Polylondon @ #573: Very pleasing (9 years, 11 months ago)

Bells @ #3166: That was hard! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Polylondon @ #186: Great fun, easy enough to get finished, hard enough to need the whole time! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Julian @ #3161: Very interesting links (9 years, 11 months ago)

salford2 @ #3148: Made us think! Enjoyable (9 years, 11 months ago)

melanie @ #3152: Pamela said this was a good wall (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3156: Id have made the one correct field wider as mentioned below, but still an enjoyable grid. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Correction @ #3157: Ester is a legitimate spelling, just not the more common one (e.g. Us rapper and singer, Ester Dean). It is supposed to be a puzzle after all. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Ralph @ #1247: Red or white? I think that's a bit much for a wall round. Red Sox and White Sox are Americanisms most British people might be familiar with, but baseball cards are a bit of a stretch when so many words could precede card; it's a cheap way to pack a red-herring in for all those balls. Balls! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Clive @ #2051: Rain butt? It has 60,000 results on Google, but I've never heard the phrase. "Water butt" I've heard of, and that has 500,000 results. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #1629: Excellent red-herrings made this challenging. I didn't get the Johnnys but did get the point for typing something quite wrong, so it might be worth tightening up the fields. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Ralph @ #3156: The "correct" fields for the frivolous, lesser, trifling or shallow group are not broad enough. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3146: quite good. nice "red herrings". simple & fun. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #112: very interesting.. i was wrong with half & convinced of other concepts.. but it was most enjoyable. thank you. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #13: i enjoyed this very much. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3: hello! an early one i see! i liked it.. although i really should read hitchhiker's guide one of these days. i just finished watching series 1 of 'only connect' after beginning with series 5. so it was a bit of a humorous situation watching the slowness & uneasy ways of some of the teams.. {some so sweet too..} the easily set design & the greek letters!! aaaahh!! nevertheless.. am still enjoying it & missing being in europe with all its history & knowledge.. not that i dislike lovely melbourne. it is indeed lovely! anyway :: i have a plan for a new grid.. so will try to put it up tomorrow. we are having a long weekend here for horse racing.. {meh.. not a fan!} however i do hope you are having a nice start to your weekend. kind regards & peace :: natalichka ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

nfar @ #3129: I love potatoes! (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3129: hello again.. was just thinking that i absolutely do love the missing vowels stuff.. (it is my beat part when watching the show too!) after all my chit-chat before etc. so.. perhaps i will do one too! :::: i only discovered the quiz 'only connect' last month & this site soon after.. it is a nerdy little paradise for me.. especially living in melbourne.. australia where we don't seem to get such quiz stuff. i assume you're in the UK yes..? what part? although melbourne is a great place & my home.. i do miss living in europe.. where people have an old history & are more proud of it. we are so new in som many ways here. anyway :: hope i didn't come across too annoying with my detailed quiz analysis before.. i am lovely! hehe! peace.. again. natalichka.. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3129: hi there :: ok it was fun still somehow so ok. however.. i see perhaps that you were doing the last round 'only connect' no vowels style.. which i love along with 'le tour' too.. but perhaps you should have done all or nothing with them. because it made it too obvious to connect. also.. it didn't accept/ properly detect my answers which were correct. in saying that is important to make sure that you give the answer well & follow the instructions to at least satisfy those who may get it wrong & want more info. etc. but all in all you had some good topics & i enjoyed the no vowels but there were no "red herrings" so-to-speak.. which made it easy to guess rather than be proud to know the answers to.. you know? but you should still be pleased & i think perhaps do a grid all with missing vowels! thank you for taking the time to make it & inspire me to keep making & doing more! many kind regards & peace.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3147: being from melbourne.. australia it was almost impossible to guess the BBC radio 1 peeps but i had an inkling from my ex-bf who was a big fan. i guess this is predominately a UK thing so i suppose i will just have to make peace with not knowing EVERYTHING! hehe! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3147: i loved the use of homographs! i saw it right away somehow.. it was a good & fairly difficult mixed grid. thank you for sharing! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Ed @ #3157: The meat doesn't quite work for me. Nor does Pester, since Abby, Ruth and Pam are all recognizable spellings, whereas Ester is not. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3133: are you from NZ? nice to have some connections to it either way.. i love it there.. but live in melbourne.. love melbourne too.. anyway :: excellent grid.. i couldn't get it all so i must keep practising. thanks for the grid! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #1034: Great fun with several tricky crossovers. (9 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #3146: Very easy (9 years, 11 months ago)

chris @ #3147: Ok (9 years, 11 months ago)

Purple Becky @ #2916: Very good, bro! Solved this one. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3143: i think the best thing was that it seems right at my current level of practice as i have only just discovered 'only connect' & indeed this awesome site to go with it! anyway :: thanks for making the grid. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3143: this grid made me feel like i was actually on 'only connect'! i just solved it in the nick of time! good red herrings & style. it was very good & made me proud of myself too.. so big props to you for making it so well. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Roger @ #3147: Fab (9 years, 11 months ago)

dagny @ #3141: Easy and enjoyable. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #258: Ima Lukewarm, too. Like my porridge. But it gets cool like all saints, my favourita band. So I booked a room with the travel lodge when they kicked me out of my Drey because I'm off my tits on coke. But I found the deer! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3144: A fun grid. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3146: Enjoyable. Lots of tricky crossovers. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Bells @ #3146: loved it. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #243: I have a fry light. Itsa was invented by a my dear friend Stephen Fry. And I'm off mit tits on coke. I also found the deer! (9 years, 11 months ago)

shrouse @ #3144: Do some work Delia (9 years, 11 months ago)

good part 1 bad part 2 @ #3129: band descriptions not remotely flexible - "potato varieties" is same as "types of potato". (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #3132: Tricky but enjoyable. Lots of cross overs. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #3118: Too much reliance on "preceding". (9 years, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #3137: "Red Light" is a bit weak. Otherwise, a great grid! (9 years, 11 months ago)

Adam @ #3129: The search terms for the mobile phone band are not specific. The creator has written "Mobile Phone Manufacturers", answering "with missing vowels" appears to have lost me the point. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Reg Pubes @ #3127: Ditto, good fun 10/10 (9 years, 11 months ago)

FLO @ #3127: BEST GAME EVER (9 years, 11 months ago)

chill @ #3125: was marked incorrect when I had correctly guessed connections for 3 out of 4 groups (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #56: Classy work. Confusing stuff (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #368: Really tough - complex links (9 years, 11 months ago)

Looby @ #98: Liked that one (9 years, 11 months ago)

Dntyajstluvtxtspk? @ #3129: There appears to be something wrong with your keyboard (9 years, 11 months ago)

deer @ #727: You are a silent fart, sir. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Diego Armando Maradonna @ #237: I found e deer. The deer of God! Score for Maradonna! I eatsa Waldorf Salad with a cake. Im off my tits on coke! Sincerely Yours, Fat Maradonna (9 years, 11 months ago)

Bottle @ #3127: Good fun, I only got 5/10 (9 years, 11 months ago)

Ew @ #186: Only one that I have gotten 10/10 on yet. Very fun. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Donna @ #98: Really clever 7/10 (9 years, 11 months ago)

Donna @ #1747: It was satisfying (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #1942: Could do with a couple of red herrings. Nice, but once you spot the link it's all over (9 years, 11 months ago)

melanie @ #3122: Who are the Kardassians, I thought they were in Star Trek. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #238: Great job. I'd like replicate too (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #98: Great red herrings in there. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #3113: Good and thughtful (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #238: oh i do agree replica should probably be replicate to match perfectly. but again.... a great & enjoyable grid :: thank you for taking the time to put it up! peace.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #238: excellent in so many ways.. many' red herrings' & interesting connections.. [grr.. the term PC is annoying as it also just means personal computer].. other than that tidbit.. very enjoyable wall! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Gareth Bale @ #718: Since when was I a left back you cunt? yours sincerely Gazza B (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #164: i found this to be excellent! it was totally satisfying to me.. despite being all just abbreviations.. which i usually dislike & find difficult. only issue i guess is that there weren't really any red herrings.. well perhaps not for me! hehe! merci! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Hisley @ #3114: Only seems to accept Battles of ____ I tried First World War battles and it was rejected. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Bugis @ #12: Too easy (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jelly @ #2848: Great grid (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jelly @ #3115: Very interesting (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichla @ #3113: so good in the end i could see most of it! thank you.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

jangles @ #238: Should replica be replicate? (9 years, 11 months ago)

Iamwretched @ #18: Unruly is not an adverb. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Salford 2 @ #3113: Enjoyable (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #235: More fun- though Taurus runs from April into May. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #236: Another fun grid. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Neilo @ #237: Great fun (9 years, 11 months ago)

Aofie @ #3117: Awesome (9 years, 11 months ago)

Aofie @ #3116: My grid is awesome (9 years, 11 months ago)

Jules @ #3026: Fab. Vella maybe you should try an easy grid? (9 years, 11 months ago)

Kim @ #3045: Good fun grid (9 years, 11 months ago)

Kim @ #98: Great grid (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3051: also what do you mean about the films with "curses"? do you mean in the film somehow or if you watch them yourself in a spooky way?!! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3051: they were all very good connections & frankly only the jared leto one was i certain about. the only thing i must say.. although it is still fun to be tested in one specific genre.. like this with film.. is that given that this is based on the way 'only connect' goes i didn't expect it to be films initially. having said that.. it would be very ace to have a section perhaps for walls that have a particular theme..?! a good idea for those who want to get that detail & enjoy one area of expertise. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3111: hi @silvertoeses :: it would depend on the order you solved it in as to which was the last.. did you try a 2nd time? if not.. tell me what you got so far.... & i am happy to tell you the connection of whichever was the last. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Dagny @ #3104: Interesting connections, and nice crossover. (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #2949: Preceded (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #2951: Hard! (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #2957: Liked. Tx (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #2978: Ok (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #2980: Liked (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #2982: Good (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #3016: Good (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #3048: Quite enjoyable. Tx (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #3093: Enjoyable! Thx (9 years, 11 months ago)

silvertoeses @ #3111: What was the answer to the last one? It wouldn't display. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #2186: it was breezy too.. hehe.. ^_- (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #2186: it was good and fairly fun.. perhaps a reminder to think more broadly. although if anything the broadness was just a bit too much so especially with the male names.. however.. it was good & certainly for an easier play with some red herrings! peace.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3048: solving the grid was really quick and easy which is always fun as a beginner but i do rather agree with @cardboard about the connections. having just made my first wall it is difficult but so important to think of what the person may answer correctly to maximise happiness. still had lots of fun & there was a good selection of topics.. especially the commonwealth! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3072: i agree with the comments from @cardboard & @iamwretched.. however they are all female tennis players & although it didn't allow for the princes to be given as correct i did enjoy your style of wall with red herrings everywhere! also.. i was impressed with the roman goddesses..^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3073: using homophones was a good idea.. only i never got around to pokmon somehow! good red herrings too! thanks for making the effort to make a rad wall.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Mimi @ #3104: Nice idea! (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3111: @puzzGrid: thank you for all your help & much kindness in this instance particularly! i knew it about that full stop.. haha! it is a great site as i found it after having trouble with the official 'only connect' bbc puzzle wall one. i want confused about the second pard regarding the audience.. assuming i was a teacher perhaps.. hehe.. but thank you again for changing that. at least i have an intermediate knowledge of computer stuffs & coding styles. oh the interwebs. where do you hail from? uk.. us..? kind regards :::: (9 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3111: Also, you didn't choose "of interest to a general audience" which this is. I changed that too, otherwise it will essentially be hidden. (9 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #3111: Haha, you have been a little too grammatical. The full stop is the issue. It was requiring people to enter "water." Also remember it matches to short fragments, so you just needed "pen, writ" to match pens and writing", and "song" will automatically match "song titles". Thanks for all your constructive comments on other grids. I've fixed this just this once. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #3111: why is my water one not working? oh no! can somebody who runs this awesome website please help? i double & triple checked all the information & made the options good. water was the only option for that one. perhaps i neglected the comma & put a full stop is the only thing. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

Lydia @ #3111: very good! (9 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #2836: Stags are male deer, believe it or not. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #2184: this was my favourite yet! i loved the simplicity & diversity but the fact that you had brain the dog from inspector gadget made me so happy.. penny & brain! thank you muchly! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #2665: lovely. despite pony not being quite correct.. it was still enjoyable & a good variety. (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #44: yes very good indeed. second time after many more in between was much better & well organised. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #1095: not bad.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #280: this was enjoyable but it stuck to one topic as indeed it should not have considering the wall in only connect and the rules.. opportunity for red herrings etc. although it was still a little difficult & fun for me. i am most upset as i knew all the answers but it did not accept them!! please fix?? peace.. love & music.... ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #149: they are weather systems.. and that answer should have been accepted. also perhaps it would be good to keep consistent with lower or upper case letters.. rather than get any more pedantic about things.. it was still much fun.. thank you for the effort! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #2296: ditto! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #798: very good. i solved it quickly but was not right about the metals so it still had an edge of extra learning for me! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #92: good style.. different.. should have accepted "usa abbreviations for organisations"! but thank you kindly. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #12: a bit to varied but still enjoyable.. thank you.. i put internet applications which should have been acceptable.. because they are interactive rather than others that aren't. cheers. ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

natalichka @ #45: i put "sounds" and it really should have been correct.... i understand this is a written program so it cannot be like in person.. however.. it should be acceptable in this category.. or with the option of "more info." perhaps....? still very happy as i solved the wall & only discovered this quiz show & hence this in the last couple of days! ^_^ (9 years, 11 months ago)

we @ #3089: Which Looney Tunes character is called 'Bird'? (9 years, 11 months ago)

cardboard @ #3089: I found the bands were too easy to distinguish to be a truly "fiendish" puzzle, since they're the only plural animals. Still a difficult puzzle. Also, "Raccoon" has 2 c's. (9 years, 11 months ago)

Bogie @ #2769: Very poor. It didn't recognise 'furniture' but gave that as the answer. Didn't accept 'mammals' but gave living things as the answer. Stationary means not moving but was given as the answer when items of 'stationery' should have been accepted. Pathetic, and should be removed! (10 years ago)

Kudu* @ #2744: The Memorial Stadium - commonly but unofficially referred to as the Memorial Ground - has been home to Bristol Rovers in Football League 1 and Football League 2 since 1996. The fact that Bristol Rovers have, since I wrote this quiz, been relegated to the Conference is irrelevant, especially as no Football Conference match has ever been played in the stadium. If you had put anything like football, soccer, grounds or stadia/stadiums in your answer, you would have had a point. Alexandra Stadium is the official name of Gresty Road. Best to check facts before commenting. Can make you look silly. (10 years, 3 months ago)

Bernadette @ #20: ChadThanks for your comment and chiekcng out Even The Odds Tv. Some of the team shoots bowtech currently and most of the team has shot them at one point or another. They do have a nice product and even if they gave us a look, our 2013 plans and beyond are headed in a different direction. Although nothing is official and no announcements can be made at this time, we are looking at a long term partnership with what we feel is one of the best kept secrets in the industry. Our team was blown away by the concept behind their products and we knew instantly they are the company we want to represent. We will update everyone as soon as possible and I guarantee everyone will see why it was a easy decision for us to go in this direction. Thanks,Even The Odds Tv (10 years, 6 months ago)

puzzler @ #2309: Nice but you still need to be a bit more generous with the accepted answers. E.g. 'holmes' on its own. 'Pure' on its own (or even just 'potter'). Better allow too much than to little. (10 years, 11 months ago)

Koceng @ #1996: Hi Alara,Yes you can compare 2h+quveir vs. 1h+ quveir! The app compares one item at a time against another so it would have to be the same quveir that you would leave on and compare the 1H vs 2H.You can compare two 1Hs vs a 2H but it would not consider the quveir in that case. You could still make it work though by adding the stats from the quveir to the 2H weapon! I hope that answered your question. Thanks for your interest! (11 years, 3 months ago)

Its as in case you had a great grasp on the topic matter, but you forgot to incorporate your readers. Perhaps you need to consider this from far more than 1 angle. Or possibly you shouldnt generalise so considerably. Its much better in case you think about what others may possibly need to say instead of just going for a gut reaction to the subject. Take into consideration adjusting your own believed process and giving other people who could read this the benefit of the doubt. (11 years, 3 months ago)

Paul @ #2117: Hi Raimond,The armor stat being off is due to entering stats intorreccly or forgetting to select the correct class for your hero. For example, Barbarians have higher base strength and therefor higher base armor than other classes. Check the value of the strength stat. If it matches your strength in-game, then you have just entered the armor amount for one of your pieces intorreccly. Otherwise you will need to check the strength and armor you entered for each piece. (11 years, 3 months ago)

Steve @ #2059: Great App! I really like the carmope' tool and the stat comparison tools.. fantastic idea! I have a couple feature requests would make your app even better though.1) An option to copy your hero. This would be handy if you want to try different load-outs and switch a few pieces of gear out but keeping some of your old gear. This way you wouldn't have to re-enter in all the values for each piece of gear.2) Addition of the passive skills will be ideal. This would give us an accurate reflection of in-game stats. I see you say that you have this in the works so that's great!3) Values of each resist should have the values of all resists added to them to show an accurate total. (11 years, 3 months ago)

David Millar @ #1905: Don't understand this at all. Seems either way too vague or specific to some other set of information that the average user doesn't have. (11 years, 11 months ago)

David Millar @ #1897: Same comment as Colin, except I used "movies" instead of "novels" or "film adaptations" and "holy texts" instead of "sacred" or "religious". Strongly suggest a thesaurus party for this puzzle. (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1804: Much too hard for me. I'm still puzzling over Maria Bronte (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1914: A first for me. I guessed all four groups but had no idea what the words meant, let alone what the links were. (11 years, 11 months ago)

TIMM @ #1873: Well often the fourth group on Only Connect is really weird/obscure, and the contestants only get it as a guess from one of the items in the list. Norbert might have rung a bell, considering how popular the Harry Potter books and films are, and I knew Yoshi from misspent youth with Nintendo lol. The other two dragons were new to me too, while Puff was a red herring for that group. (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1809: That was clever. Looked so easy, but only the lunar phases really were. (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1813: Nice, apart from Cain, which I guessed anyway. I put "things you can raise" and "things you can walk" and had both marked incorrect. (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1814: Very good, I'm sure, but way beyond me. I guessed "Fictional gardeners" instead of "firefighters" and had it marked correct! (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1896: Iron, Rain, Running, Hollow: I put "films ending in Man" and was marked incorrect. (11 years, 11 months ago)

Colin @ #1897: Torah, Rig Veda, Koran, Tripitaka: I put "sacred texts". Carrie, Misery, It, Christine: I put "Stephen King novels". Both are right answers. Both were marked incorrect. (11 years, 11 months ago)

I don't tend to think of plants as creatures, although they are complex living organisms - creatures normally have nervous systems? (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1887: Good - but 'Death Pocket Black and Night' can all be followed by 'cap' as well as by 'watch'! Deathcap - amanita phalloides toadstool Pocket cap - a type of cap Black cap - a type of cap or Blackcap - a warbler bird Nightcap - bedtime headwear; or a drink before bed! (12 years ago)

Titus @ #1879: Very clever, the loop was neat trick. (12 years ago)

vicky @ #213: thanks for the puzzle but when I put: what the.. it was shown as incorrect even though that was your answer too. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1875: Great! (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1877: Sorry - as i put in the comment i below i saved it with potatoes instead of potato. Annoying, i know - not sure how to edit my grids. Should get an account probably.... (12 years ago)

pp @ #1877: would have been 4 stars quality, but why the hell is potato an incorrect answer for vivaldi, king edward, etc? 3 stars quality to man the bulwarks against those bloody bible study homeworkers (it's not as if they know their stuff...) (12 years ago)

John @ #1848: Thank you, TIMM. Yes, I know, I was struggling with the BAND clue - using "Shangh", after all, would've been much too obvious. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1877: Might only accept one of the answers in the plural - apologies for that. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1873: Yeah the dragons was definitely the fiendish group here. Pastries should have been the easiest, followed by either the word one adding -IN, followed by the web entrepreneurs (i figured Wales, Page and perhaps Bezos would be gettable and people would just have to guess Filo). Actually aren't that many dragons with well-known names except for Puff and perhaps Norbert... (12 years ago)

McMan @ #1874: Enough with the Biblical rubbish already. All the grids are nearly excatly the same, they're not relevant, not interesting and not challenging. If you want to spout rlegious nonsense at least put some effort in. (12 years ago)

Mark @ #1658: Nice idea, like it. 'Sound like English words' covers lots of the groups though. DAKC: Dee, Ay, Kay(as in O.K.), Sea/See RTGJ: Are, Tea/Tee, Gee, Jay They're all words. A dee is a metal loop apparently, and a type of electrode. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1706: Great! enjoyed all your puzzles. One of the groups here is 'homophones' not 'homonyms'...homonyms need same spelling AND sound e.g. FLUKE (lucky guess) and FLUKE (type of parasite). (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1710: Nice one. Took a while to figure out that 'Begin' was the Israeli leader! Be good if it accepted 'dictator' rather than needing the phrase 'surnames of dictators'. (12 years ago)

mcman @ #1873: Good, but the dragons were a bit obscure. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1872: Apologies there is a typo - it's Gordian knot, not Gordion knot. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1848: Hey, nice idea 'add AI to get Asian place name'. SEND and DUB work really well. MUMB is a good clue. BAND was a bit dodgy though cos just looked it up to see where it was an apparently it is a village in Japan with under 4000 inhabitants lollol. Monty Python songs were good too - didn't get that though Finland was ringing some massive musical bells but couldn't figure out where from in time. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1871: Nice intro to terms in films! Just one comment - should have shorter phrases to recognise answers with! I put 'heard in movies, sounds' and 'scene, setting' but got rejected as had to be 'soundtrack' and 'mise-en-scene'! (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1828: King Queen Prince Dunce is a great group. (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1833: I liked it too but the intermissions group stood out a lot (entr\'acte could be eliminated after a few tries). The puzzles usually have four completely unrelated groups, rather than two collections of films. The three female names played by Billie Piper can be connected without knowing why i suppose! Anyway nice one, especially the surrealist films group! (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1845: Good puzzle. River felt sooo much like a geography term with Castle Crag and Scafell etc, and just didn't figure out how to get 'raise' to fit in with the others so left 2 lines undone! However did work out the Doctor Who connection after, but typed Dr.Who and it wasn't accepted so maybe you should add the abbreviated version to the answers? Cheers anyway (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1868: Sorry - it's not 'very easy', i forgot to set the setting. It's probably quite hard! (12 years ago)

TIMM @ #1856: Nice. Got stuck on the mixture of cherries and R.E.M. albums. The chinook cherry lol how weird. Got bit distracted by the three parties (Ulster, Green, Monster - raving loony) and was looking for a fourth. (12 years ago)

Simon @ #1832: I got all the connections right but only the first line (New) was marked as correct.

Abhishek @ #1521: Pearl Jam, the only band I know that can take a song that was once sad, remake it, and make you want to dance to a sad song. The song was Last Kiss onlairgily by J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers. They made it more upbeat and happy. (12 years, 2 months ago)

Pinnick @ #1444: Princess our little Sheltie, is so happy that we have found Dancing Creek Farm. When we ask her if she wants to go to The Farm, she's ready to get in the car. For many years, Princess was a tharepy dog and visited nursing homes and pre-schools. Although she loved all the attention and everyone loved her, there came a time when she was too old and ailing and we took her out of the tharepy program. She was so sad when we had to board her; she just wasn't accustomed to being all alone in a cage. With Tamara and the Dancing Creek Farm, she blossoms into the loving, friendly little girl she was when she visited everyone. Princess is a people dog and gets treated as a person at THE DANCING CREEK FARM! We really appreciate Tamara and her crew. (12 years, 2 months ago)

Aleeya @ #1676: Hi Bill,Chinese writing grid? Wow that's so nligaotsc!Of course, it's good that you've decided to start writing Chinese.But you see, Chinese cannot be spelt out quite easily as in English.So you really have to write a lot, practise a lot and remember tons of characters.你好，比尔。方块字簿？哇 那多令人怀念啊！当然，你决定开始学写中文是件好事。但你看，这中文不像英文那样容易拼出来。所以，你非得常常书写、常常练习来记起很多的汉字。 (12 years, 2 months ago)

Eberson @ #42: I really hate the new +add. The pruoives with preview was so much better. Organize sources is still a pain to work with. When you delete a source, feedly goes there automatically. Even with high-speed FiOs it nearly crashes my browser every time and takes forever to load. I miss seeing my unread count at the top of feedly. I dislike having to jump to the bottom of the page to check, and then to refresh the page for a new number. I really, really miss my feedly mini. It's such a pain to have to use the Facebook and Twitter bookmarklets. Twitter's doesn't even capture an address half the time (12 years, 2 months ago)

Aakash @ #1473: Dancing Creek Farm is a wonderful place to board a dog when you have to be away. Tamara trteas our English Setter, Sadie, the same way she trteas her own dogs, and we can go out of town with full confidence that Sadie is being cared for the same way we care for her.Until we found Tamara we boarded Sadie at the vet’s. After the first time boarding her with the vet, not only did she not want to go back when we left town, she still has trouble getting herself out of the car when we have to go to get check-ups and shots. The people at the vet are excellent and the boarding is acceptable, but with the choice of leaving her there, where she stays most of the time in a crate or leaving her with Tamara where she can run with other dogs and enjoy the air-conditioned dog house (with TV and futon), there is no question which we choose.We call the kennel “doggie camp,” and Sadie gets all excited when we head up the road to Tamara’s house. And when she sees Tamara, it is all we can do to hold her on the leash. This is truly a wonderful place to board dogs at the same rate our vet charges. Tamara’s love for animals and her concern for the welfare of her boarders is wonderful. It’s a great facility run by a great animal lover. We greatly appreciate the services she offers.

Sanjay @ #74: Review by John R. Swerda for Rating: Packaged with four left legs (requires two left, two right)One briquette grate is slleamr than the other and falls to bottom as a result.Had to drill / elongate hole to install grate support bracketPaint on handles started to run when I handled them with wet hands. I tried to rinse off the remaining paint or ink under running water so that it will not continue to bleed off. What paint do you know of that rinses off under plain water?Right cast iron grate cracked when it came in contact with heat. The design and construction of this product shows clear disregard for the consumer and is absolutely unacceptable at any price. I have to question at this point weather or not the paint used on the grill and grates is toxic or lead based. I've come across my share of junk but this is really bad! (12 years, 5 months ago)

MFSM @ #856: Agreed (again) joon. Winy and Caky are not just pretty lame they are barely words. (12 years, 9 months ago)

MFSM @ #843: Agreed joon. 3 Trolls? Very tenuous (12 years, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #1676: Good grid, but not having heard of Ellen Page made one of them tricky (12 years, 9 months ago)

Mo @ #1368: Is that Pat Moss, Stirling\'s sister? and Living will? (12 years, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #1385: Not simple if you never watched the Jetsons or the Three Stooges and cannot remember the names of anyone in the Brady Bunch. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #1666: same for me, put of between them as you did, but didn't give me it. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Me @ #1665: Fascination or Boogie Street? Didn't give me Dr Who or phonetic alphabet (12 years, 9 months ago)

Mark @ #1670: Good grid, just one of the 4 links (Directors) I wouldn't have got. (12 years, 9 months ago)

fran @ #1669: Nice grids! (12 years, 9 months ago)

me @ #1672: what is a walking bus? (12 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Mauve @ #1659: Very good, but Memento/Pulp Fiction group could do with more accepted words for the answer. 'non-linear plot' was the most concise way I could think of to describe it, but it wasn't accepted. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Luna Scamander @ #1661: Absolutely awful. Most of the connections are far too vague and make no sense, and half the answers don't really fit in the groups. Not sure you understand how the game works. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Andy @ #1521: WTF knows the names of Pearl Jam - a group I assume? Otherwise, very good (12 years, 9 months ago)

Pantac @ #1667: Pretty good - I must say I really liked the Black Eyed Peas category! (12 years, 9 months ago)

Pantac @ #1666: Pretty good, although it didn't take (11) of (5) for the Colin category. I'm using the number of letters in the answer so I don't give away one of your categories, but the two words I've hidden were part of your description of the group. (12 years, 9 months ago)

abelataha @ #1664: I'm with Pantac here. I dig the effort and there's definitely nothing structurally wrong, but I do think it's one of the hardest puzzles on the site and a couple of the groups are very nearly impossible. If you think it was reasonable, I'm guessing you do extremely well at trivia. :) (12 years, 9 months ago)

David B @ #1665: It gave me 'wrong' when I typed Dr Who for group 2. (12 years, 9 months ago)

lord charles @ #1664: I'll grant you one obscure category, Pantac, but on the scale of this site, it doesn't seem so bad. Still finding my way as a gridwright. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Pantac @ #1664: Too hard for me, lord charles. The groups are obscure. (12 years, 9 months ago)

lord charles @ #1365: good puzzle...where is the love? (12 years, 9 months ago)

fran @ #1664: huh? (12 years, 9 months ago)

Pantac @ #1663: I agree with your quibble, charles. I made this puzzle up at 3 in the morning, so the evil/not so smart Pantac was in control. Never try to do something that takes brain power when you've had no sleep. :-) (12 years, 9 months ago)

lord charles @ #1663: good puzzle; well pantacized. the mix of words beginning "c-a-r" with words beginning with "car," however, lacked a little something in aesthetic elegance. Just a quibble. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Pantac @ #1662: interrobang, I made this one especially for you. (12 years, 9 months ago)

lord charles @ #1400: you are a moron (12 years, 9 months ago)

lord charles @ #1660: I saw that! (and your last one) the kids on the street are already saying, "Dude, that one was Pantaced!" (12 years, 9 months ago)

Pantac @ #1660: lord charles - this one's for you (12 years, 9 months ago)

blue @ #1643: Good board but typed in 'duran duran hits' and got incorrect. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Dr. Assistant @ #1659: I'm sure that Doctor When would love this, if he had time to spare from his ground-breaking research. I'm not sure he knows that much about movies or TV or books, though. Fortunately,his lab assistants have lots of time for those things. :) (12 years, 9 months ago)

FattM @ #55: For the oscar winning actresses, I put cattle and it was accepted. And for the acting families, I put trees and the same happened. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Sensei Sasonicra Ichinisan @ #1659: No comment. (I am watching you) (12 years, 9 months ago)

Admiral Corby Anderchron @ #1659: And that Bureau is, of course, the Bureau of Asynchronous Time Standardization, Handling, Infrastructure and Taxation. Naturally. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Hon. Maranatrix Von Stundenglas @ #1659: Furthermore, Dr. When/Trenchwood, in the inevitable eventuality of time travel and the subsequential taxation thereof, we promise that Trenchwood will enjoy a dramatically reduce tax rate due to your cooperation and good standing with our Bureau. (12 years, 9 months ago)

Marshad Time-ebb @ #1659: Also, I wanted to add that you all looked and smelled just splendid at our presentation. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. You guys are super. Just super. Man o man. Neato (12 years, 9 months ago)

Doctor Alon Turning @ #1659: To the Illustrious Doctor When and associates from the Trenchwood Institute. We hope you enjoyed our frivolous homage to time travel. As with all of our research in quantum economics, time travel taxation, chrono-scheduling and paradox avoidance, and the Most Lucrative Case Scenario methodology, we feel that this puzzle and our work is of the utmost importance. (12 years, 9 months ago)

lord charles @ #1657: First one I've seen using the same word before and after. Very clever. (12 years, 9 months ago)

interrobang @ #1657: well, the one with Office did me in, but it was fair. i like the category with strings. different! (12 years, 9 months ago)

interrobang @ #1656: man. obscure. i bet you and your friends would get this one . . . and no one else. (12 years, 9 months ago)

interrobang @ #1651: Torn must be typo. I agree. Tough but good otherwise. (12 years, 10 months ago)

interrobang @ #1652: seriously? 1966? anagrammed obscure names? we have 3 minutes! i mean, i think JoKrollo is being harsh. I don't think you suck. The Spring one was really clever. But the difficulty level of the rest were just way beyond anything that would be fun. (12 years, 10 months ago)

lord charles @ #1535: not sure if this was an intentional red herring or not, but bottles, wings, rest and chalk can all be followed by "up" (12 years, 10 months ago)

interrobang @ #1653: cute one. fun. accepted a non-answer on one of the sets. (12 years, 10 months ago)

interrobang @ #1654: tough, a bit annoying, but overall well made. (12 years, 10 months ago)

interrobang @ #1655: great grid! balanced between fun red herrings, but reasonable connections. more please (12 years, 10 months ago)

lord charles @ #1553: maybe the easiest grid ever...though there are so, so many grids (12 years, 10 months ago)

lord charles @ #1556: good puzzle (12 years, 10 months ago)

lord charles @ #1568: I think the LeCarre category pushes the concept a hair too far. (12 years, 10 months ago)

JoKrollo @ #1652: The category on game show hosts was ridiculous. Anagramming them and then having to sort them. It's like in a cryptic crossword you don't have to try and get a word and then anagram it. You broke the rules Krollo. You suck. (12 years, 10 months ago)

humm @ #1651: torn? (12 years, 10 months ago)

Phil R. @ #1654: Nice one! (12 years, 10 months ago)

Phil R. @ #1651: Hmmm... surely a male cat is a Tom, not a Torn? (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #1647: That's really cool, e.nigma! It DOES work just as well! I wish I had seen that. I definitely would have added it to acceptable links! Thanks! (12 years, 10 months ago)

e. nigma @ #1647: the last group is also _out (12 years, 10 months ago)

moppo @ #1645: Nice one Graeme, enjoyable because it wasn't super hard like the others. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #1609: I understand, Phil. This was the first puzzle I made, and I really didn't do a very good job listing possible link words. I apologize. I hope my later ones aren't as limiting. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Trakan @ #1623: Not many decoys (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #800: 2 arbitrary groups just to get it to work. Frustrating. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #796: Didn't like THAT group either. And Tenant isn't the right spelling for the red herring. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #792: Good, classic Only Connect style grid. Top work. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #787: Bah humbug!! (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #779: Anode is 'mostly' negative? How can that be part of a group? I want answers! (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #776: The film is the symbol for pi, not the number. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #766: Concur - double letter is a bit woolly. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #762: Helps to add full names for those who do not know the reasons behind the connections. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #754: Agree - Ice Wolf??!! Oh and I'm British ;-) (12 years, 10 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1645: "R" a bit tenuous but good grid. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #972: Good puzzle (12 years, 10 months ago)

Patricia @ #656: Oh, come on...bands doesn't work on line 1? (12 years, 10 months ago)

Patricia @ #11: Did you mean \"streak\" instead of \"steak\"? Never heard of a blue steak. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Patricia @ #1632: Line three -- so clever! And I don't know what Mr Mean is talking about, this was good. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Patricia @ #1462: Have to agree with shippers, that was nuts. Also, would love to know what a Santa Pod is... (12 years, 10 months ago)

Patricia @ #1462: Have to agree with shippers, that was nuts. Also, would love to know what a Santa Pod is... (12 years, 10 months ago)

patricia @ #855: line four? Very nice :) (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #727: Surely you've heard of a silent fart? Stealth attack style. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #714: Try using capitals on all words. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #707: Me too! (12 years, 10 months ago)

M @ #1644: Fairly easy, but keywords required are apparently way too specific. (12 years, 10 months ago)

pt @ #1469: Happy Mondays? That's a common phrase? (12 years, 10 months ago)

pt @ #1394: sorry to be pedantic, but it\'s Delaware. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #687: @Shippers50 - so what instrument did he play in the film? ;-) (12 years, 10 months ago)

RAD @ #148: Not too shabby. There should be a gay themed episode of Only Connect! (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #633: Like your osbcure bird facts by any chance? (12 years, 10 months ago)

johannes @ #1638: nice grid. clever mix. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #1632: "look oh so familiar"??? I'm not at all sure what you're intimating, Mr. Mean. I'm not going to apologize if every puzzle is not perfect - some are bound to be better than others. I do it for fun, and I assumed people played them for fun. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #1638: I realized my mistake as soon as I submitted the puzzle. I apologize for not recognizing w and b as well as b and w. I'd fix it if I could. (12 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #1635: good (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #595: Don't like the mixing of suffixes and prefixes. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Mr. Mean @ #1632: These are far too simple and look oh so familiar. Not up to the usual Pantac quality grids. Something not adding up. (12 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #1632: another good one!! (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #433: Excellent! (12 years, 10 months ago)

AEI @ #1620: Mostly good: but "complain" is too narrow. Things that are problems, or whine, etc., would also be acceptable, I think. (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #1630: Too easy if you know Spanish, and impossible otherwise. Not really sure what the point is. (12 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #1631: good one,best for a long time!! (12 years, 10 months ago)

AEI @ #1611: Agree with Chiclets. (Batman and Robin could also have been "onomatopoeic" words.) (12 years, 10 months ago)

Shippers 50 @ #1627: Well that\'s three minutes of my life I won\'t get back... (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #566: Should be 'PR' not 'NPR' - great grid apart from that! (12 years, 10 months ago)

MFSM @ #521: Agree that prefixes and suffixes shouldn't be mixed. Also, the sports don't all just add 'ing' (12 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #1630: what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (12 years, 10 months ago)

Phil R. @ #1624: When did names cease to be words? In any case, 'sonny' is an ordinary noun as well as a name - it's in the Oxford English Dictionary (defined thus: "used by an older person as a familiar form of address for a young boy"). (12 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #1625: This is bullshit. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Pantac @ #1611: I agree, Chiclets. I was new at making the games and did a very poor job concerning the wording that was acceptable. I wish there was a way for me to change that, but I haven't found it yet. Hopefully my later puzzles are better. (12 years, 10 months ago)

Also echoing, Rock Drum is not a type of drum, you can drum in the style of Rock which would be Rock Drumming, but this is played on a Drum Kit. (12 years, 11 months ago)

B @ #42: Grids like this, where all 16 things *obviously* belong to a single large category, are just too hard to solve in 3 minutes. I didn't identify a single category during the allotted time (I did think of one of the correct categories but it had too many potential members for me to pick out the correct four). However, once the categories were assembled, I was able to identify all four of the connecting links. In other words, all the relevant knowledge was in my head, it just couldn't be put together in three minutes. (13 years ago)

'Things you can be under' and 'Types of power' are not very well-defined groups, and it's not clear how even a strong solver could reasonably be expected to solve them. 'Worm' was reasonably good. The 'Hard' group was also a bit suspect. How many English people use the term 'Hard ball'? (13 years ago)

Ian R @ #1482: A potentially good grid let down by the 'names' category. Just about anything can be a name, so it's not really a legitimate group or interesting challenge. Putting it another way, it defeats the point of the overlaps feature that make Puzz Grids so much fun. About 3/4 of the terms in this grid _could_ be a name. (13 years ago)

I mean, the groups are not too bad to find, but there are red herrings -- the groups have more than 4 possible answers, and it takes thought to put the right words in the right groups. A shame there's no edit feature to fix the typo in Delaware, though -- honestly that's what bothers me the most about what would be a very well done "easy" difficulty puzzle. Still one of the better games on this site. (13 years, 4 months ago)

wing commander, the bear and moulton fingers @ #1248: wha hooooooo , we agree with fishface (love the name by the way) (13 years, 5 months ago)

Wing Commander @ #1335: bravo !!!!!! (13 years, 5 months ago)

Me @ #1354: Not sure there is only one credible solution to this grid, and i thought that was the main aim was to create a grid with a few red herrings but only one actual solution. Given time i'm sure people could come up with any amount of solutions that don't fit your particular thought pattern but solve the grid. Too random for me. (13 years, 5 months ago)

David Roe @ #1252: Roald Dahl link? (13 years, 5 months ago)

Englebert H @ #1253: Very easy and very gay (13 years, 5 months ago)

Mondae @ #1350: Yes, the CapsLock was a bit annoying, but apart from that I can't see anything wrong with this one. All the categories were accurate, and the keywords were fair. It is quite a difficult grid, but is described as such, and surely that's the the idea - to have grids of varying difficulty? (13 years, 5 months ago)

Xnyle @ #1352: Ja wenn man denn die Keywords richtig tennt... (13 years, 5 months ago)

Me @ #1350: What an awful grid! Maybe it's the caps that put me off, or maybe it's just the fact that all the answers could fit anywhere unless you were lucky enough to stumble across the same thought pattern as you when deciding the final solution. Maybe it's because i'm pissed, maybe it'd because i'm a retard ( a combination of the above i'm afraid ) , but i just hated this grid and hate all grids like it. Apart from that, nice one! (13 years, 5 months ago)

Me @ #1351: Too much google used when making this grid methinks (13 years, 5 months ago)

Mondae @ #1350: Good grid, Penguin could also be Penguin books! (13 years, 5 months ago)

steven @ #1231: Problem - the first row does not accept 'berry' as a correct answer (13 years, 5 months ago)

Mondae @ #1325: Urchin not Urchan; Gold doesn't really fit with the category as the other names are all complete; keyword options for getting the connections way too strict. Apart from that, okay. (13 years, 5 months ago)

YaMa @ #1325: Bit too easy.. (13 years, 5 months ago)

Mondae @ #1201: It's fixed! Although "acronyms" should be "synonyms" in one of the solutions. (13 years, 6 months ago)

Harry the Hippo @ #1201: Hardly easy I'd say. More like 'medium to well done' surely? (13 years, 6 months ago)

Admiral Glad @ #1021: Of course you need 'Only', just as "Gear" and "Street" would not be acceptable for other TV programmes! "Only Fools" is acceptable. (13 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1195: So there is. I stand corrected! (13 years, 6 months ago)

El Tel @ #1193: Toughie (13 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1195: Obviously, I meant there's only one 'a' in lavender... :-s (13 years, 6 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1195: Sloths aren't bears. And there is no 'a' in lavender. I'm sorry to be picky, op, I don't want to discourage you. Of course everyone makes mistakes, and I don't claim to be an expert. But these sorts of persistent errors really affect the enjoyment of a puzzle, because as solvers we have to take what's in front of us on face value. (13 years, 6 months ago)

mister big @ #1167: thanks all :) (13 years, 6 months ago)

mister big @ #1194: I really must agree with Mondae on this. Also, clams are not fish, (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #115: Very good, but Virginia does not belong in that category. She was famous for many works, but not a diary or diaries. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #114: Good puzzle, but 'jug' is so rarely heard in that context as to be considered obscure. Wine doesn't really come in 'varieties' does it? But not a bad puzzle overall. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #112: Relatively easy, given that the four categories are so distinct and there are few overlaps. I don't think it's fair to have 'First' in the group it's in. You could apply the adjective 'first' to a million things. There's nothing that specifically links it to what that group is supposedly about. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #113: 'Corollary' does not mean what the composer thinks it means. Otherwise, a good puzzle. Managed to solve it despite the 'Corollary' issue. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #74: Very good. Good ideas, well composed, not too many overlaps, and not TOO obscure. I doubt many people have heard of 'Dom' in this context, but it can be arrived through context and elimination. (13 years, 6 months ago)

luke f @ #1195: really good (13 years, 6 months ago)

Mondae @ #1172: Oh, never mind... (13 years, 6 months ago)

Mondae @ #1194: Those things in the periodic table are called elements, so maybe allow "elements" as an answer for the connection? (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #35: A good grid built from four very diverse groups. Not entirely sure about the fairness, but I don't want to judge it too harshly. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #37: Difficult because it relies on utterly obscure information. It is not clever to simply build a grid from obscure data that no-one is likely to know. The clever part of a 'fiendish' grid should be constructing it from elements people are familiar with, but they can't spot the links. This is just a rummage through obscure facts. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #40: Very fiendish! Mostly fair. Amazing revelation about the 'Cook' group! Not sure it's reasonable to expect anyone to know THAT much about Elton John, but one could maybe derive it from context with the other answers in the same group. Very challenging, but it beat me fair and square. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #42: A very good grid, based on four good ideas. I don't expect many will get it all correct (I didn't) but it's all fair. Some good red herrings too! (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #67: Very good, very difficult. But satisfying solutions. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #83: Relies on information that it's just not reasonable to expect anyone to know. Fiendishly difficult, but not in an admirable way. There's nothing hard about looking up really obscure facts or names and putting them together. Yes, the JB red herring was clever, but I doubt many will solve this. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #1153: Good grid, fun to play, some good ideas. I didn't well on this one, but it's good! (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #56: A clever grid and enjoyable, but contains at least two words that would count as 'specialised' vocabulary, which is why I marked the quality down a bit. The difficulty should come from the composition, not from introducing words 9/10 people won't know. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #96: Very good grid, with just the right amount of overlap and red herrings. Very well done. Slight cheat on 'Wings', but I accepted it as part of the fun. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #94: To have one group entirely dependent on four lines of lyrics from one song is a bit unfair. Also, the \'gender\' group would have been better if they all been one or the other. By making them half and half, you are effectively admitting that they don\'t make a group. (13 years, 6 months ago)

MissyG and Jules @ #1194: Yep, this is a good one! (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #88: The composer spends too much time watching television! Citing obscure details of pop culture is not the same as composing an ingenious grid. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #82: I got half of it, but very tough indeed. The Calcutta group's link is ingenious, but very obscure. Is it fair to expect people to know this? Similarly with the Cambridge group, why would anyone with 'general knowledge' know this? (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #81: Very tough, I only got a small part of it. But fair and well designed. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #77: A very good grid. Maybe 'string' could be 'wire', but otherwise a very satisfying grid. I didn't get all of it, but i felt it was fair. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #72: A very hard grid and I didn't get any of it. But it is ingenious and well-constructed. Perhaps the 'Albany' group calls for rather too much detailed knowledge, but otherwise a good and challenging PuzzGrid that defeated me fair and square. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #70: A very good grid with lots of fair ingenuity, and I got most of it. I understand the cleverness behind 'Cardenio', and I got that group by elimination, but it's not really a fair solution given that the attribution is not uncertain (and I have Literature degree) and we know more or less nothing about it. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #63: I don't mind a difficult challenge, but this is unfairly obscure. I have literally never in my life heard of two of the items in the 'Limerick' group, and the 'Norwich' group hinges on a link that only a small group of enthusiasts could be expected to know. Unearthing deeply obscure terms is not the same as ingenuity. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #62: Only got a couple of points with this. I don't think 'Eden' fairly belongs in that group as labelled. There were too many overlaps to provide a fair challenge. I doubt that knowing what you need to know about 'Wenceslas' counts as general knowledged for a grid labelled as 'UK' or 'English'. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #59: I solved most of this. The 'Bruges' group could equally well just be 'European ports'. Regarding the 'Coventry' group, part of the category label is superfluous. The 'st' part is enough. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #57: I got most of this and thought it was a good grid. The thespian connection I got more by luck than judgement. The fourth group, I had never heard 'wine' associated with that term, but I guess it's fair. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #54: A good grid but with a wrong answer. Maris Crane WAS seen in Cheers. A lot. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #53: I liked this one and solved most of it. However, this grid comes up if you are trying to select 'English' or 'UK' grids, yet one of the groups requires a degree of knowledge about one state in America that goes way beyond 'general knowledge'. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #52: One group calls for 'fan' level knowledge of a TV series. Another calls for detailed knowledge of the output of one manufacturer. Whether either of these count as general knowledge is open to question. I solved it, but didn't feel it was very satisfying. (13 years, 6 months ago)

IR @ #51: One of the groups is so obscure that you can't reasonably expect 1 in 500 people to get the connection. One of the other groups is a bit silly. The fact that the set can be preceded by a given term isn't really a connection - it's an adjective that could be applied to a million things. (13 years, 6 months ago)

Arabesque @ #1157: It was a bit tenuous, but the only other things I could think of were 'bracelet' and 'vambraces', which I thought would be a 'brace' overdose and maybe make it too easy. Once you've worked out the link though, there aren't any other clues it could be apart from the correct four plus the red herring, so I allowed myself a tenuous one this time. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mondae @ #1159: Capital letters please... I did like "French style depression" and "loveshack" though! (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mondae @ #1157: I agree - you can of course have a wrist tattoo, but then you can have a tattoo pretty much anywhere, so it's a bit tenuous. (13 years, 7 months ago)

wing commander, bear and moulton fingers @ #50: oooo we had much better combinations - it did make us laugh, childish i know but hey its friday (13 years, 7 months ago)

Wing Commander, Bear and Moulton fingers @ #37: OUCH Very hard (13 years, 7 months ago)

Wing Commander, Bear and Moulton Fingers @ #33: We liked it !!!!!!!! yeah go team (13 years, 7 months ago)

Chaz @ #1153: Put two links as "sports venues" and "US TV shows with the in the title" and both were marked wrong. However grid itself was very good (13 years, 7 months ago)

Junior Sammy Davis @ #1155: enjoyed this one - let's have another (13 years, 7 months ago)

Wing Commander @ #4: doesnt everyone know they're even toed ungulates, sheesh (13 years, 7 months ago)

Wing Commander @ #1: couldnt get the colours one, way too difficult :) (13 years, 7 months ago)

Wing Commander @ #1026: Difficult but once you see the answer you think 'oh yeah cause it is' (13 years, 7 months ago)

Syrinx @ #1153: Agree with Mika (13 years, 7 months ago)

Dayy O'Dill @ #1153: good, nice cross overs. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mika @ #1153: Didn't accept correct answers for two connections. Key phrases too specific? (13 years, 7 months ago)

YaMa @ #1140: My first go..try my other one, tis a bit more difficult (13 years, 7 months ago)

doctor_negative @ #1140: Pretty easy. Might want to allow for less specific matches (wood wind vs woodwind). (13 years, 7 months ago)

Jo @ #1145: Nice grid! (13 years, 7 months ago)

zippy @ #1152: Maris made me chuckle (13 years, 7 months ago)

General Motors @ #1151: simple grid - would like to see tougher one next time. OK for first attempt (13 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptoid @ #1122: Apology accepted (13 years, 7 months ago)

Storgan Manley @ #1147: Didn't do it for me but then I'm not a footie fan - probably a decent one if you are? (13 years, 7 months ago)

Tommy Tantrum @ #1148: Yeah, think you meant Woody. Nice if it could be corrected. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Peter @ #1149: Worchester? Eh? Or did you mean "Can be followed by chester or cester"? (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mondae @ #1150: H & M don't sell shoes? I'm wearing H & M boots right now! (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mondae @ #1148: I think "Woddy" should have been "Woody"? (13 years, 7 months ago)

The Real Dave C @ #1122: Cheers puzzGrid, I appreciate that this is a ball ache for you, and not what you spent your time and efforts setting up the sites for. Hopefully knowing that you have the IP address will be enough to make this moron stop. Obviously, if it continues then Id feel justified in taking the matter further. Thanks again for a great site and a prompt response. Apologies for Cryptoid for taking up space on his puzzles comments page. (13 years, 7 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1122: Hi Dave, I continue to regret this bizarreness. I can tell you that the person appears to be from somewhere near Cardiff and to be an Orange customer. If you decide to take this to the police or anything I could provide their IP by email. puzz (13 years, 7 months ago)

Lorna @ #484: I have read all the below comments and I would just like to say that I finished the grid quite quickly. The red herrings are surely part of the game. Thank you. (13 years, 7 months ago)

The real Dave C @ #1122: Yes, I am on FB & Twitter you crazy stalker. And, yes, I use my own name (as opposed to pretending to be someone else.) Now that you have my details, why not get in touch? That way we could meet up, and sort this out. (13 years, 7 months ago)

The real Dave C @ #1145: No, I don't. (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #1145: My First Grid. (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #1122: good grid. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1140: Bit too easy - everything just fell nicely into it's category - no red herrings (13 years, 7 months ago)

Jamie Oliver & Hardy @ #1142: Nothing wrong with Killer Sudoku. Nice clue. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Andre Previn @ #1140: The quickest, I've ever done one. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mondae @ #1142: Apologies, I did think that Killer Sudoku might be a bit obscure, but figured that maybe puzz grid fans might be sudoku fiends too! Killer sudoku puzzles have featured in UK national newspapers though, so it's not totally out there... (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby O'Barnaby @ #1127: I think the quality of the people on this site has gone downhill... (13 years, 7 months ago)

Bamus O'Sharnaby @ #1140: Would have been nice to have a few red herrings in here... (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #1142: Killer Soduko? (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #853: Number 1s, yet number 1 not accepted. Weird. (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #847: Yeah, UK cities/towns should work there. I liked 'Clinton' - threw me. (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #1118: Petrol and petrel are not homophones. And it's a mosquito net, not a mosquito curtain, (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #807: Liked it. (13 years, 7 months ago)

David Roe @ #654: Liked this a lot - especially 'This little piggy' which I didn't get (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby am I @ #1127: For once, I agree with myself on this. It wasn't a great grid - if you can't stand the heat, cook on a bbq (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby Murphy @ #1142: Tidy (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mondae @ #1142: Forgot to give this an initial difficulty rating, so it's listed by default as "very easy", but I think it's probably about medium. Please rate to let me know what you reckon! (13 years, 7 months ago)

Davehotep @ #1127: Ooh look everyone, Barnaby has something insulting to say. We should all pay attention...that is what he wants after all. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby O'Barnaby @ #1136: Not convinced by this grid, too similar... (13 years, 7 months ago)

Davehotep @ #1128: Yeah, I got nowt. Curse your fiendishness (13 years, 7 months ago)

Davehotep @ #1128: Yeah, I got nowt. Curse your fiendishness (13 years, 7 months ago)

Anon @ #1135: Spam (13 years, 7 months ago)

zhabba @ #1127: Bit tight on the answers. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1128: Strangely - yes, I understand. I think I was a bit harsh with my 'tosh' comment, sorry. Otherwise, decent, hard grid. Ta. (13 years, 7 months ago)

dd @ #1129: sorry otherwise it wasgood (13 years, 7 months ago)

dd @ #1129: reversing words is just plain silly ok (13 years, 7 months ago)

Bamus O'Sharnaby @ #1129: Fibre - great solution. Not so keen on the reversing bits of words, thought that was too tough, (13 years, 7 months ago)

The Punning Man @ #1129: Tough grid (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1128: Carry on London? Not a 'Carry On' at all - load of old tosh (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1127: Drivel (13 years, 7 months ago)

Bamus O'Sharnaby @ #1125: Didn't do it for me either. Still, I'm sure some will like it. (13 years, 7 months ago)

linocutboy @ #1125: Didn't really do it for me (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby Street @ #1125: Don't understand O'Hara's comment. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby O'Hare @ #1125: Not convinced - looked good but when solved it was actually quite poor. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1124: Hmmm, could do better... (13 years, 7 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1121: Sweet! (13 years, 7 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1122: Good grid! (13 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptoid @ #946: I need a nice cup of tea, I really do! (13 years, 7 months ago)

Cryptoid @ #1079: Very amusing clues (13 years, 7 months ago)

Barnaby O'Barnaby @ #1117: Poor excuse Mr Big. Branbaby, for once I agree with you :-0 This was a shocking set of clues and no excuse can rescue them; 2 x Irvings is (a) lazy (b) poor (c) both. Throw in a Dion and I think it option c. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Richard @ #162: More options for the diamond court rink question. I tried "arenas", as this was the answer when this very question appeared on Only Connect. People are likely to look for a one word answer rather than hoping "places where sports are played" is valid. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Bamus O'Sharnaby @ #1118: Made sense to me (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1117: Hi Branbaby. Yes, that's correct. Well done for noticing. You'll see why that's the case if you read the answers. Thanks for your feedback. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1116: Crack head! LOL (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Big @ #573: Fairly easy but lots of fun (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Big @ #579: Just done this one and feel very unoriginal for having used the complain connection in a later grid. (13 years, 7 months ago)

Dave Cleaver @ #1085: Hmm not sure about this one (13 years, 7 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1038: This completely defeated me, but I appreciated its quality. (13 years, 7 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1085: I liked this, though I didn't do too well. Football clubs- maybe a bit too niche? (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1086: Not bad. But, you guessed it, I didn't like the Blackadder answer. (13 years, 8 months ago)

wing commander @ #1038: i say, has anyone seen my spitfire!!!!! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Bamus O'Sharnaby @ #1112: clever, very clever Mr Bond. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1106: Easy peasy (13 years, 8 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1107: Not bad! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Branbaby @ #1109: Not accepting bell instead of bells is harsh. I loved the right said fred one, brill. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #1103: Good grid, only got stuck on the Final Fantasy group. Having only played FF7 didn't help. :/ (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #1115: What on earth? (13 years, 8 months ago)

z @ #1115: (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby O'Barnaby @ #1111: Agree - some very good red herring and double / triple possibilities. Liked it. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Chris @ #1109: Need to be more careful with the answers you accept for categories. Without giving too much away, I had one category given as wrong even though I used the key word. Then I had another category given as correct even though I got it totally wrong! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby O'Barnaby @ #1110: tidy grid with a couple of cross overs. Enjoyable and not too taxing. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby Murphy @ #1109: Crikey guv. This was a real toughie and I mean A REAL TOUGHIE. Well done. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Davehotep @ #1109: Or maybe it's not hard, I have no idea how to gauge this... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Davehotep @ #1107: I never claimed to be the best wall compiler in the world, in fact this was my first attempt. Isn't this just supposed to be a bit of fun done by fans of the show? If you didn't like it I'm cool with that but please take your negativity somewhere else - I'm sure you don't mean to but you come off a little patronising. (13 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #1108: Does somebody still think this is funny? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Bamus O'Sharnaby @ #1107: I can't speak for Shamus, but surely there needs to be a thread between each group of four rather than simply plucking 4 unrelated groups each consisting of 4 not-very-well-related words? Isn't that the point? Otherwise we could call it "Sort-of Connect" (13 years, 8 months ago)

Lorna @ #1107: Hey Shamus. Isn\'t that the point? Oh well, it\'s just a game. Good on yer Dave! (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1093: Milkman is a bit of a black sheep in the 'rounds' category, but otherwise I liked this. Challenging but conquerable. (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1099: I got absolutely nowhere with this, but it's very good. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1098: Thanks for your wonderfully insightful comments, Barnaby. (13 years, 8 months ago)

McBarnaby @ #1099: not enjoyable at all - far too vague. 20% of Pearl Harbour was ok, 80 was not (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby I am @ #1098: Clues don't fit boxes, too long. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Spartish McBarnaby @ #1093: poor - round of sarnies vague to say the least. Off to explore with Parkie :-) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1100: Oh Jesus, I've posted this bloody thing three times. Please put it out of its misery and delete them all. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1101: Inadvertently posted twice by back-navigating in an attempt to correct a glaring error. Please delete both with my apologies. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mr Big @ #1102: There's a rather glaring error in this one. Please accept my humble apologies and delete it (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1087: Nice and topical! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1087: The "all featured in the top 10" type connection is way too difficult. I got the Man Utd/Man City group but that was it. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1086: Thought the Blackadder last words one was a bit tenuous (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1085: Former clubs one was tough. Solved it & they were the leftovers but I still didn't know what they were. Not bad. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jarnaby @ #1080: Well said Parnaby or is it Barnaby? No wait, I'm Barnaby! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Parnaby @ #1080: Barnaby, There's more than one of us "little weirdos". We're all sick of your unhelpful, unfriendly, unpleasant, aggressive etc. attitude. We're here to have fun. You seem to be here to make other people feel bad about themselves. BTW - I'm Barnaby (13 years, 8 months ago)

Garnaby @ #1080: I'M Barnaby! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1079: Yeah, you've done some nice puzzles but this is not one of them. You are 1 of 2 (maybe 3) left around here that has some idea what you are doing... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1080: Wow. It's all just so sad and pathetic. What you are is, as ever, unfunny and desperate. I suppose you do recognize that your utter lack of real wit leaves you no other option but to try and play the clown. How long, then, before you actually come to the realization that you can't even pull that simpleton's duty off? You are so f***ing tedious and unimaginative. You're exactly as clever as a twelve-year-old; and as juvenile as one too... just before I went offline for a few days you were yelping out things like "faggot"? Again. Really? You're dismal & tired as a clown and boring & monotonous as troll. For f***s sake, you little weirdo, get a real life. You've got some real problems and you obviously need someone to pay you some real attention. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1080: they all start with letters in the normal alphabet too! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Marnaby @ #1081: Not bad. Quite easy. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1079: Just OK (13 years, 8 months ago)

Darnaby @ #1079: It was ok (13 years, 8 months ago)

Parnaby @ #1079: Yes, difficult to say the least. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1078: indeed, not even I can have a meaningless rant about this one... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Tarnaby @ #1077: Not really a good one for non-UK residents? Next please... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1078: More spam. If you can go & do something else for 3 minutes til it finishes you can at least mark it poor and get it off the main list. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Harnaby @ #1076: Also agree with the previous comments (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1076: Not your best Scryptoid (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1076: I have to agree with the previous comment about "scutter". (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1076: Scutter? Scutter? Snogood if you ask me. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Yarnaby @ #1075: Oh, the great game of Scotland Yard. Rivaled only by Monoploy. And I remember watching Billy (without his Elliot) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Rarnaby @ #1074: What about Ting-Tong? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Qarnaby @ #1071: He mentioned me... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1069: How about spoting a link between Aarnaby, Carnaby, Darnaby and Farnaby? (13 years, 8 months ago)

DAgenhampstead @ #1073: If you typed in Games then you would have got it right! Sorry about the typo. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1073: How can we be expected to know the names of games you "owned as a child"? Surely the category is just "games"? There is a typo as well - Chicargo should be Chicago (13 years, 8 months ago)

MIssyG @ #1074: Yet another good one from Cryptoid. Keep them coming! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Karnaby @ #1071: Nice one (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1071: Very good. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Billynomates @ #1071: Double eponymous! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1072: Is this yours Barnaby? (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1061: MissyG is loving all these new grids by Cryptoid! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #1038: I got this with 4 seconds to go, but I think I was lucky. Loved the geometric shapes category. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #1070: Pretty good, but Eternal Triangle threw me for a moment. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #1041: Excellent - I just messed up the Captain and Doctor groups. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo 1 @ #1070: Eas, but good quality. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo 1 @ #1067: 3 more symbols for you: C, Ra, P. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo 1 @ #1063: Good grid. Fly fishing patterns made godd distractors. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dr Spock @ #1066: It's just not fun at all (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo 1 @ #1065: M.Sc. in Biochemistry *might* have helped me here. Far too specialist - so not very good as a grid. Sorry. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1068: go away (and take bqzarnatroll with you) (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1067: poor grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jarnaby @ #1062: Liked this one (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1065: Easy. For a chemist! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Qarnaby @ #1068: Absolute drivel, not a grid, not even close to a grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zen Dog @ #1067: Dom, Give Johnny (#1066) and Geoff (#1065) a call. I think there is enough of you know to start a club. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zen Dog @ #1066: Prof Johnny, You should hook up with Dr Geoff (#1065) You guys sound like a hoot. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zen Dog @ #1065: Doctor Geoff. It is supposed to be a quiz, not an exam. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1064: First thoughts were 'uuurghhh' however, it turned out to be a nice little grid. Well done Mr Nim. Another one please... I'm Spartaby (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1053: Yeah, 'album titles' should really be accepted. Otherwise, not bad. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1064: Easy peasy but fun, even better if it annoys Barnatroll. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1062: hmmm not bad (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo 1 @ #1062: OK grid - not too sure about the road names (I couldn't guess the group even after I'd seen it) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zen Dog @ #1062: Nice grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo 1 @ #1064: Nice one, but it will annoy Barnaby because it's got names in it. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Narnaby @ #1053: Not bad... I love Barnaby aka zarnaby aka me (13 years, 8 months ago)

Qarnaby @ #1063: maybe clues a bit too similar but still a toughie to exercise my litle grey cells. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1061: Ah, the popular resort of Leamington. Known for it's sandy beaches and surfing... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1053: I love myself. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1061: Not bad. (13 years, 8 months ago)

junior hornet @ #1053: In what way is "Album titles" incorrect? (13 years, 8 months ago)

pedant @ #1061: Shouldn't that be George of Denmark rather than Frederick? (13 years, 8 months ago)

harry @ #1056: You must be a genious Chembo! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Rarnaby @ #1055: I'm Barnaby (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zen Dog @ #1055: S.T.O.P. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Yarnaby @ #1055: Sorry, but 16 boxes with single letters doesn't work. And who is Barnaby anyway? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Varnaby @ #1055: absolute 100% cast-iron twaddle and not a very good grid either. PS. I'm Barnaby (13 years, 8 months ago)

Varnaby @ #1055: absolute 100% cast-iron twaddle and not a very good grid either. PS. I'm Barnaby (13 years, 8 months ago)

larnaby @ #908: Didn't include the B-eagle? (13 years, 8 months ago)

zhabba @ #909: Did you mean S'Ralph Ramsey? (13 years, 8 months ago)

zhabba @ #1055: L, X, O, B. Some of the letters found in "bollox" (13 years, 8 months ago)

Fred Bloggs @ #1055: Thought that 'letters found in...' was very poor (13 years, 8 months ago)

Syrinx @ #185: Splendid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Syrinx @ #153: Me too. Nut and New marked as incorrect!!! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jarnaby @ #1049: Oh and I'M Barnaby (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jarnaby @ #1049: Enjoyed this one (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sarnaby @ #1047: Don't worry sooz212 it's still a good grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Marnaby @ #1052: I agree with Harnaby (or am I agreeing with myself?). Anyway, I'm Barnaby and so are all my friends. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1053: First of all, I'm Barnaby and / or Spartacus. Secondly, good and agree with album comment below. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Rarnaby @ #1044: No, I'm Barnaby. At the very least I'm Spartacus. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ross Quinn @ #1036: Good for a first grid just problems with execution not the actual challenge. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ross Quinn @ #1039: Mondae Sorry about the missing silent letters thing I thought most people would pick up on the silent letter thing and just put that as the answer. Mojopo The groups did have lots of crossovers like the members of Foo Fighters and Leaders but how often do you see related groups on OC. Both of you Thanks for the feedback I shall try again. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Harnaby @ #1052: The homophones and backwards words are unreasonable imho. Easy enough to see them afterwards, but not likely to be deduced in game. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Spartacus @ #1044: I'M SPARTACUS! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Varnaby @ #1053: Album one a bit random - otherwise good. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Wannaby @ #1044: No, I'm Barnaby. Logins coming - excellent stuff. (13 years, 8 months ago)

threepymeepy @ #1051: They were all top 5! (13 years, 8 months ago)

threepymeepy @ #1053: Oops, I meant this to be categorised as medium, not very easy, sorry! (13 years, 8 months ago)

threepymeepy @ #1053: Oops, I meant this to be categorised as medium, not very easy, sorry! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Fluff Freedman @ #1051: All had a top 20 hit (not a number 1, top 5 or eve a top 10!) with a shared word in the title. I think that connection is a bit too loose. Not Arf, Pop Pickers! (13 years, 8 months ago)

DJC @ #422: Super super easy, at least for me. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Qarnaby @ #1046: naughty but nice - I could see what the links were the red herrings stopped me from getting them all. Another one pls. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Garnaby @ #1043: really good grid - couldn't complete it but really enjoyed it. More please. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Yarnaby @ #1044: I'm Barnaby. No, I'm Barnaby. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Xarnaby @ #1044: Are you sure you're not impersonating me, old fruit? Anyway, back to the grid - not bad but would have liked a few more red herrings amd maybe slightly harder group. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1049: Actually, tough but good (13 years, 8 months ago)

Zarnaby @ #1050: Nice little grid - enjoyed it (13 years, 8 months ago)

Clint Boon @ #1049: Very good. (13 years, 8 months ago)

sistasoul @ #1029: Good one, although I am pretty certain I wrote 'crust' and it wasn't accepted (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1047: That would be my only complaint (the descript on the greenhouse group - but it's minor as I know I got it right anyway!) Very good grid. I enjoyed it and only did it with a few seconds to spare, which is perfect. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1050: Not bad. The 1st name of the lesser known Harry Potter characters is a bit specialist shall we say. Otherwise lots of good crossovers & strong groups. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Martin @ #1024: It also wouldn't accept "periodic" as a link. But a good idea otherwise, even if almost all of them are US states. (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Man @ #1049: Fun stuff! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1049: Excellent grid. Tough, but excellent. (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1049: I knew the planets was a red herring but persevered with it out of desperation before spotting the record labels. Nice! (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1047: Oops - didn't manage a very good description for the 'greenhouse' group. Sorry if it marks you incorrect : ( (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1049: Quality. 3+ strongly so... (13 years, 8 months ago)

RMD @ #28: Tricky! Very good and well thought-out challenge though, and I particularly like the comments :-) (13 years, 8 months ago)

da88er @ #1046: Barnaby returns! We would all love to do one of your grids, what name are they under? (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1040: Good Ramone red herrings. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1046: A couple of great, original and quality groups and a couple of dreadful, rehashed and narrow ones. I have about 5 episodes of OC to catch up on, so I hope those that I called "original and quality" don't pop up there -- but that's just how good I think those were. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1045: Good stuff. Not quite a 4... but close enough that I gave it a 4. Thanks for putting some thought in! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1044: Not bad. Only real \"problem\" is that you have a supremely unimaginative idiot playing at being me in your comments. But that\'s not your fault; earlier the lame half-wit was calling itself Carnaby, Aarnaby... I suppose I must\'ve really wounded the pathetic little drip yet again. I don\'t like to think I\'ve actually bothered or hurt anyone personally with my criticisms, but there are a couple -- this lame fool who has been so transparent and so desperately unfunny for so long around here, is certainly one -- who deserve the getting-to they get. Anyway, not bad. A 3. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dagenha @ #1044: (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1041: Quickest I've done one - but enjoyed it! (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1044: Yeah, wee bit easy - and I didn't know the band, they were just left at the end! (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1046: Shows my age - those BP presenters were after my time, other than Simon Groom! (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1036: Ok.... Pulitzer, Turner, Jury, and Booker....all awards, prizes (I should have left the answer in the singular as it otherwise wasn't recognised) Cob, Draft, Gelding, Mare......all horses- ditto I didn't allow for the answer in the single. Kanye, John, Tim, Key can all be followed by 'West' I think the comedians one was ok - Sean LOCK, Reg D HUNTER, Rufus HOUND, Ross NOBLE (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1044: Although there was a tiny red herring between the babies and the peas, the rest of it was just too straightforward. Everything fell into an obvious category - even though I had no idea of the names of the band. This made it very easy. Next time try and get more cross-overs between the different groups and not have, say, 4 names that form an obvious group. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1043: Good grid. The Beatles group could also be the names of kings of England. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Farnaby @ #1043: I agree (13 years, 8 months ago)

Tarnaby @ #1043: Great stuff! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Darnaby @ #1037: Too many names in one grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Aarnaby @ #1038: Hard, indeed very hard, indeed, can a grid be too hard? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Warnaby @ #1040: Not bad but I prefer 4 different categories rather than variations on names. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Carnaby @ #1041: Nice - would have liked a couple more red-herrings but ,overall, tidy... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Syrinx @ #86: Agree with Anon re thigh and phi. Poor effort! (13 years, 8 months ago)

da88er @ #1041: It's Barnaby! We would all just love to do one of your grids. What name are they under? (13 years, 8 months ago)

yogi @ #99: Really quite awful. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Carnaby @ #1034: Isn't it ironic when somebody does nothing but whinge and complain about grids and then carries on doing them anyay? Puzzgrid - I find these numpty posts against the spirit of the board and I would be obliged (and grateful) if you could remove them once and for all. Don't give them the light of day... Ta Muchly, Mr C. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1026: I liked this Nice change (13 years, 8 months ago)

Bruce Banner @ #1034: I'm The Incredible Hulk! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1034: "I'd still like to know what your criticism is Barnaby..." That's a shame then isn't it? A shame that the asshole who deleted my criticism without you ever having seen it. "...but there's no need to express it rudely." And a shame, too, that you assume or suspect or whatever benefit of the doubt you want to give the asshole (and probably the meddling, whiny, whinnying busybodies that prompted the asshole) that my criticism it was in need of deleting. It was a perfectly valid criticism. I shouldn't be bothered to give you any criticism -- what with your cozying up to the idiots, as the asshole has done, you paint yourself an idiot too -- but I will repeat the gist of it because your latest puzzle has been an improvement reflected along the very lines: You said "It's very hard to get all 4 strong groups, but that is my ultimate aim. I realised the colour group was weak." You realized the puzzle was weak. And lamented that it was "very hard" to compose a proper puzzle. I suggested you try harder because junk is junk. Weak is weak. And there is no call for it. And that you could do better... and feel better about it. Then the asshole came and deleted this wisdom. And pathetically you [i]played[/i] at assuming the asshole was right to do so -- sight-unseen -- yet still all-along knew that my criticism was something you wished you'd been able to get to. In the future, you might consider how siding with idiots and assholes puts you, squarely and mundanely, in with the idiots and assholes. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1034: I'd still like to know what your criticism is Barnaby - but there's no need to express it rudely. I genuinely want to post grids that people enjoy and think are good - if there are specific things about this one that are a problem please tell me. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1041: "I spent a lot of time on this grid and it's probably the one I'm most pleased with." So... there is a reward to putting some considerate thought into your puzzles? to not just churning out NAJ? Well, I'll be ;) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mikey @ #1042: I got the Beatles and Chess groups. For the other two I guessed "Presidents" twice and was marked right for both. :) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1041: Thanks for the positive comments everyone. My intention was that the the words would be really easy and the difficulty would come from working out which groups they fell into. There were lots of red herrings. I spent a lot of time on this grid and it's probably the one I'm most pleased with. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1040: Chuffed to bits that I got the Ramones one! (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1041: Oh dear, I must be having a bad day! Everybody else found this a bit easy, but it took me ages to solve it! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dinos @ #1042: Nice easy grid. Could possibly do with a few red herrings to link in the beatles a bit more. (13 years, 8 months ago)

zhabba @ #838: Think "line" would have worked for one of the categories. Wholly ungettable by Brits as well (13 years, 8 months ago)

Andyjack @ #1038: This was good, I was on the right lines for all of them, just didn\'t kmow enough! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mo Jo @ #1034: Hi Puzzgrid, please can you delete abusive and obnoxious comments from posters as they spoil the threads. I understand 'free speach' and all that but I think that these are plain rude. Regards, Mo (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1041: Yeah pretty easy, but pretty good too. 3+ (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1041: Easier than most of your others Sudo, but excellent crossovers between the categories. Nice grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1040: Best names one ever. But still a names one. So it's still completely wrong. A ridiculously generous... 2. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1040: Quite hard for me as I didn't know the Ramones or Cheers, but good puzzle. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1039: Very easy because each group was so distinct. Even though I had no idea for 3 of them, the groups were so obvious that it took less than a minute. A better grid would have words that could fit into more than one category. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mondae @ #1039: Good grid - a little harsh that putting "silent letters" for the missing silent letters group does not get a point, though? (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1036: Sorry, no edits at the mo.. feel free to post the answers here. (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1036: Is there a way to 'edit'? Sorry for cock ups but was extremely tired and some of what I'd typed in was lost when it crashed and I forgot to retype! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1038: Not bad. Pretty esoteric indeed, but at least it wasn't a rehash, an inane set of Eurovision runner-ups, or some asinine list of 16... celebrities, gumball flavors, inuit words for snow, etc... 3-ish (13 years, 8 months ago)

sooz212 @ #1036: Ta - it was the first one I'd made, (and it was 1.30 in the morning!) so I'll take your comments on board. Didn't help that I lost it a few times which meant having to retype it to the point of desparation just to finish and submit it. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1036: bjjb/RMD - Row 3 is the the 3rd group *you* solved - it may be different for other people depending on the order they solve them. (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1034: Nah, you've had fun trolling. Further troll posts get deleted. Express your displeasure with the ratings, please. Yes, I'm singling you out. Tough. (13 years, 8 months ago)

bjjb @ #1036: agree with RMD, and you need to have the common link as the answer, not who they are... Row 3, third row across coutning from the top, same for fourth, rectifications, not retorts! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1034: "I want this to be a generally fun positive environment" You are a liar. Well, really just an an idiot who has been made to lie in such a bold-faced and laughable way that it is a joy. "Barnaby, I do insist that you "bother to put up puzzles". If you can't be bothered to do that you really have no right to criticise those kind people who do" You've never insisted that anyone else who criticizes must put up puzzles. So full of shit, you are. You've never had a problem with others who don't put up puzzles criticizing... you are just simply full of shit. And, most hilarious of all, is your dunce-boy, aw-shucks claim that you want a "generally fun positive environment" while in the very same breath you are "insisting" that I put up puzzles -- you want me to put up puzzles for no other reason than to give the many mediocrities that pump out the junk puzzles around here a chance to get some blind, waiting vengeance. The truth is you've been made a fool of again. And no matter how many sycophantic dolts come and climb up in your lap and lick your face... you know that that is the truth. One, thing, though (just to brighten your day): I have had quite a bit of fun here lately getting you to continually put your foot in it. So fun has been had! ;) (13 years, 8 months ago)

R Don @ #1038: Agree - a bit whacky but a toughie as well. Keep on sending them in. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dinos @ #1035: @Junior Hornet: I'm not a fan of strictly so I had no idea, although that is a weird coincidence. If there's an edit function I'll pop that in so cheers. @Barnaby: Didn't your mother ever tell you if you can't say anything nice... piss off! This was my first attempt at making one of these. It's by no means the best grid on here but I wanted to stick in plenty of red herrings. Red, Green, Black, White... Member, Johnson... Sergeant, Officer, Commander... Jack Daniels etc. Yeah there are probably some better fits to each category but Jalapeno pepper and chilli pepper would've been too easy. So yeah umm... sorry for being "ostensibly provincial"? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1037: Thought the "Black" link was rather loose - i.e. I would never have got it. The others were tough but fair. A director, a series or a particular film are all fine as groups, one word in a title of unrelated films is too tough (imho). (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #1036: Good grid, although the answers need to name the actual connection (saying that, they can be easily worked out.) (13 years, 8 months ago)

KevKen @ #1036: Ditto (13 years, 8 months ago)

KevKen @ #1038: A little too esoteric. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Spacebard @ #1034: I enjoyed this one. I guessed "quartz" for the colours group, which also works and is more specific than "colours". (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1034: Thanks for the comments. I want this to be a generally fun positive environment, as a GAME ought to be. Censorship is a heavyhanded way to achieve this, but sometimes necessary. Barnaby, I do insist that you "bother to put up puzzles". If you can't be bothered to do that you really have no right to criticise those kind people who do. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #1038: Enjoyable and informative grid. Keep up the good work. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1034: Barnaby why do you have to be so abusive all the time? People have taken time and trouble to submit these grids. What does it matter if sometimes they are not perfect? That's what the rating system is for - you can mark them on quality, without ranting on and being abusive. You are spoiling this otherwise enjoyable site - grow up please and stop acting like a spoilt child. (13 years, 8 months ago)

AndyJack @ #1033: Grid Squad -- really helpful comment, thanks very much. RMD, fishface, Stan Dup ... my first attempt so pleased to get some constructive feedback. I did wonder whether the "part of" clues were really "playing the game". I'll try to do better next time! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1034: The suspect comes from two things: 1. Your history of writing non-constructive comments. 2. My belief that puzzGrid wouldn't remove a comment without reason.# Repeat your criticism, constructively, without resorting to aggressive, insulting and childish behaviour. Stop throwing your toys out of the pram and discuss it with us like an adult. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Roger Mortis @ #1034: Puzzgrid - I totally support you in removing the silly and critical comments. Thanks. This was a nice grid overall. (13 years, 8 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #1000: And I thought I was mean... It may not be perfect, but it wasn't terrible, it wasn't abysmal, it wasn't impossible. I only knew one of the categories - the point isn't that everyone must know everything. If you really take PuzzGrid so seriously, fair enough, but you seem to be the only one with serious complaint based on simple petty-minded "Boo-hoo, I can't get the grid". It wasn't bad enough to warrant your torrent of abuse. Also, happy 1000th grid! (13 years, 8 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #1036: There was no sodding connection! they made no sodding sense! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1034: You didn't see the criticism and yet you "suspect" this and that.... Bullshit. You would like to believe that there was a valid reason to remove it and that there could be no reason to criticize. And so you are really "happy" to "suspect" these things. This is entirely understandable. And entirely transparent. And amounts to nothing more than a massive, heaping, steaming pile of bullshit. It was removed by a fool because the fool is a reactionary. Allay your suspicions. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1034: I didn't see your criticism Barnaby, but I suspect it was removed because it wasn't particularly constructive. I'm happy to receive criticism because that's how I'll get better, but I need to know not only what you think is wrong, but why it's wrong and how it could be better. Others appear to like this grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1034: See? There's a little dimwit that calls himself Dagenhampstead; he wants nothing more than a chance to criticize purely out of resentment. My critiques are valid. These pathetic and laughable fools just want to get some sort of revenge. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #1034: Stick it to the haters. Come on Barnaby. Show us your grids. (13 years, 8 months ago)

junior hornet @ #1035: Logan, Daniels, Palmer, Taylor - all contestants on Strictly Come Dancing. Should have been equally correct. (13 years, 8 months ago)

D-FENS @ #1034: Stick it to the man! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1036: Not bad. A 2+. But you didn't state what the actual groups were... (RMD, when you say "row 3" it means nothing.) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1029: Not too bad. A strong 3. Outstanding, in fact, amongst the junk! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1034: Yes, I had some criticism, and puzzGrid couldn't bear it. While most of my criticisms -- and especially the one puzzGrid, censored here by outright deleting it -- have been pointed and on the money, puzzGrid insists I bother to put up puzzles so that resentment can flourish. Pathetic, hair-brained and insidious. (13 years, 8 months ago)

RMD @ #1029: Very good attempt at an Only Connect-style board; very nice! (13 years, 8 months ago)

RMD @ #1036: 'prize' wrong for row 3 and 'horse' wrong for row 4? (13 years, 8 months ago)

RMD @ #1033: Apologies if this is rather difficult to remedy, but how is 'NFL Nicknames' incorrect for the first chain? Additionally, agreed with the 'part of' clues - rather too vague. Good sources and good breadth of information touched upon; just needs some work :-) (13 years, 8 months ago)

joon @ #1029: i enjoyed this one! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sue sooz212 @ #1021: Hmm 'Fools and Horse' not accepted - needed the 'only'? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sue sooz212 @ #1027: It's my first 10/10 but it was CLEVER!!! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sue sooz212 @ #1035: Good one Dinos - Saw one group immediately then could see a second but just couldn't omit the red herring. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sue sooz212 @ #1006: It accepted 'scout' for me! Nice one, you big ginger freak. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1034: Did Barnaby say something not nice about my grid? :( (13 years, 8 months ago)

RyanT @ #1035: Barnaby...f**k off. (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1034: Sorry Barnaby, I'm sick of these comments and will remove them at least until you post some grids so that others can hold you to your own standards. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1033: Lots of wrong turns but solutions are odd. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1034: Thanks. It's very hard to get all 4 strong groups, but that is my ultimate aim. I realised the colour group was weak. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Roger Mortis @ #1034: At last, a proper grid has appeared. Well done Mr Nim :-) Thought the colours group was weak but the others were right bobby dazzlers. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Stan Down @ #1029: Reminds me of a blunt pencil - totally pointless. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Stan Dup @ #1033: Too may 'part of' clues here for it to be a good grid. Reasonable attempt etc. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Sudo Nim @ #1034: Especially for you Barnaby :) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Brian Cant @ #1027: sweet (13 years, 8 months ago)

Brian Cant @ #1006: nice grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #1026: Barnaby, post some grids before making further negative comments please. (13 years, 8 months ago)

SoccerMan @ #1026: Happy to accept that it's rubbish - I would just like to know why :) Then I can make sure future ones are better. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1026: Utter rubbish. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1025: Narrow asinine junk. NAJ. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1024: More junk (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1022: Junk (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1021: Good! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1020: Got the band one! But it's still a ludicrous group! Yes it is. You should be more creative and maybe come up with some Irish counties or biscuit brands, instead... (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1019: Recycled. But that's quite typical. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1028: Quite easy. Not bad if it's a first effort. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1027: One of the best grids submitted recently! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Michelle @ #1023: Very good. Liked the 'My fair lady' link in with the other counties. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Michelle @ #478: Natural materials was classed as incorrect, as was man made materials. Correct answers given as natural fibres and synthetic fibres. There is no difference in definition. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1017: too simple (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1021: I like this grid, pretty easy (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1024: trixie (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1027: Good grid, marked as easy. (13 years, 8 months ago)

SoccerMan @ #1027: Excellent grid with good cross-overs between categories. (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1024: As Glad says, I think country codes needed to be accepted (AngrierLover has a point, too). Not bad though. (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1022: Really good grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1015: Very easy, I'd say too easy (31 seconds) but hey, gotta cater for all. (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1021: I thought this was a really good grid. It's all very fair, and the categories gnaw away at you without ever being obvious. Thanks! (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1015: Great grid. No need to apologise about Phoenix being a short-lived Gladiator. It's deducible easily enough (not that I managed it). (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1023: Bit easy. Don't understand the "phrase or saying" category - I must be missing something obvious. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Joe 94.1 @ #975: And saying it's rubbish (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1019: Not bad - vodka is a bit iffy to me (not quite the same strength as the other 3 in the group) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1024: Good grid, but the links need to be more flexible. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1026: Suprisingly easier than it first appeared - nice grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1025: Excellent grid - challenging, but fair. (13 years, 8 months ago)

FireSafetyDave @ #1025: Tough one - lots of crossover between groups (13 years, 8 months ago)

FireSafetyDave @ #1018: Good randomness! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1000: Not like. Not an On connect grid for me - needs crossovers Just a set of difficult quiz questions. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1022: Excellent grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Admiral Glad @ #1022: Lovely grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Marcus @ #1024: I know Ads... was going to add a comment before anyone attempted it but then it would give it away slightly - must pay more attention! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Admiral Glad @ #1024: Your explanation for the roman numerals includes MM (2000), which is actually MI (1001) in the grid. Solved it with only a few seconds to spare but it wouldn't give me "country codes" for the vehicle registration codes :( (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #1000: Loved this grid. Loved it. (13 years, 8 months ago)

AngrierLover @ #1024: The DK, NZ, AZ and IL group could have been a lot of other things such as top level domain names. Other than that, a nice original idea for a grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

RyanT @ #1017: It doesn't really matter too much about what is accepted to be correct or not. All that matters is if you know you were correct since your scores aren't recorded or go towards anything. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled in Essex @ #1023: Excellent grid! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Puzzled in Essex @ #1023: Excellent grid! (13 years, 8 months ago)

junior hornet @ #1017: "They are all famous brands" isn't good enough, sorry. I put clothing labels and was marked incorrect when in fact it is correct. More flexibility in wording required. Too many of these puzzles turn into mind reading exercises. Also for the first one, I put animated films. OK, I perhaps needed to be more specific with Disney/Pixar but strictly speaking I was correct. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1018: The cricket group is nice and topical! (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #1000: Well I, for one, thought this was a great grid! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1021: Very good grid - hard, but fair and good. (13 years, 8 months ago)

RobB @ #1015: hmmmmmmmmm (13 years, 8 months ago)

RobB @ #1014: Yeah..... but I tried with Carol (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1014: Very easy (too easy) It needs crossovers (things that could fit into more than one group) to work as a grid. Otherwise it's just a "Guess the category name" game. (13 years, 8 months ago)

HasB @ #1014: GREAT!!! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Derek @ #1013: Sorry. This one was very easy but I got lazy and didn't try very hard. Sorry. (13 years, 8 months ago)

SoccerMan @ #1009: Thanks Barnaby - half a compliment ! (13 years, 8 months ago)

SoccerMan @ #1009: anon - there were *many* pre-internet online services There were many independent networks, based on different protocols, long before there was an *internet*work that connected them together. (13 years, 8 months ago)

junior hornet @ #1006: Pretty good but the first one didn't accept "Scout" as the connection when all the words can precede "scout". Need to be a bit more flexible. (13 years, 8 months ago)

junior hornet @ #988: Didn't accept fairy stories. Needs to be a bit more flexible in accepting wording. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1009: Anyway. The point here is that this is by far the best Soccerman grid yet. And yet. It's still not very good. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1009: They were not pre-internet, yes. But they were *in fact* not a part of the internet at their inception. So *in fact* when you say you say *could* not be -- you *could* *not* *be* *any* *more* *wrong*. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1008: Types of bad. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1006: You're getting worse. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1007: All it needed was some biscuit brands. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1005: Gave it a 3, but really it's a 2.4. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1003: Junk (13 years, 8 months ago)

anon @ #1009: There were and in fact *could* not be any "pre-internet" online services (13 years, 8 months ago)

RyanT @ #1009: Decent grid. One link was very tough!! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1009: Tough. I didn't know them all but I managed to deduce them. Nice grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

RyanT @ #28: The best one I've seen yet. (13 years, 8 months ago)

RyanT @ #1007: Excellent. I could see 3 of the links but just could not get them grouped. Very frustrating! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Martin @ #1002: Bugger. Had three Bowie songs and three card games. Couldn't find the last one. (13 years, 8 months ago)

K Dyer @ #1000: Barnaby, why leave malicious comments? The whole point is you don't need to know every square to work out the grid. Mardy Fish is a pretty famous tennis player, two GS QFs and Isner is the marathon man from Wimbledon. I have no idea who Monaco and Simon are but an intuitive guess told me they were tennis players also. Murrumbidgee is a pretty unique name and a standard quiz question is which English naturalist shares his name with a river. Have you ever seen Only Connect? The grids are pretty obscure, for instance, recently a category was the names of arch designs. That's the point. Your bitterness with these comments astounds me, especially to new-gridders. (13 years, 8 months ago)

qqq @ #999: All the University Cities could also be subbed for Oxford, although admittedly they aren't famous streets (but they are all London ___streets). I liked this grid a lot though. (13 years, 8 months ago)

qqq @ #1000: Not a bad grid (especially if first attempt). I think the key is not to be testing difficult knowledge but to test the ability to unravel the crossovers with normal knowledge. (13 years, 8 months ago)

qqq @ #1003: this is rather niche. (13 years, 8 months ago)

qqq @ #974: ChrisPhilpot: I thought that was in there. Anyway, I'm sure you gave yourself the point. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #1003: Are you a Countdown champion by chance? A bit obscure imho. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Marcus @ #1000: If you're a tennis fan then they are famous - and they're all either in the top 20 or have been - sorry if I made it too difficult, was my first attempt. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #1003: countdown, wow hard (13 years, 8 months ago)

Steve @ #996: Decent level, but thought the rowing link could have been a bit better (either go for all rowers or all events etc). A couple more red herrings would improve it, but a worthy effort nonetheless! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jaeric @ #897: Not fair to include "Williams" in that particular group, surely the actual fourth member should be there. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #1000: Ludicrous. Not caring if I spoil this junk. Not one of those tennis players is even in the top 10. Much less famous at all. Your other categories are similarly narrow. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #999: Not so good. But gave it the same 3 as the last one of yours because it wasn't inane. Just slightly narrow. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #998: No complaints. I don't bother with the categories testing anymore, I just hit enter 4 times and then see if I had the right idea by checking the grey pop-up... so no complaints as far as a nice puzzle. Not "great!" but defintely good. These days if you get the idea you are way ahead of the game, so I say... Nice! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #999: Very easy - but OK (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #998: Very easy, but Pluto isn't a planet. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #994: Quality! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Hywel @ #997: Admin - this is a spam grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #975: Constructive criticism. And discussing individual answers and making corrections. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #996: Agree with Mojopo - great fun grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

MissyG @ #990: We were always taught in biology that it was the ISLETS of Langerhans, not the ISLES. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Joe 93 @ #975: so why have comments? Ironioc I'm using a comment to post this though :- (13 years, 8 months ago)

Hywel @ #989: Ah, you already have! D'Oh! :) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Hywel @ #989: Thank you, Mojopo. See what you think to #996. Happy quizzing! (13 years, 8 months ago)

james @ #995: excellent (13 years, 8 months ago)

joon @ #984: nice one. four rock-solid categories, with mitchell as a nice red herring. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #989: Good grid. Marked it as hard because although I got it well within 3 minutes, I actually didn't know what 3 of the categories were! But I like that - it means you can use common sense and logic to solve the grids even if you don't know everything. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #996: Good one. Quite easy, but good mix. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #995: Ok, well, constructively Frank, you should try and have answers that could fit into more than one group. This is a bit too easy. It actually wasted 11 seconds of my time though (yeas, I know, I should have done it quicker) (13 years, 8 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #975: Indeed. Lets stick to discussing the grid not the commenters/submitters. The easiest way to record simply not liking the grid is the quality rating. The easiest way to add that it's too hard is the difficulty rating. (I can *never* solve anything that is classified as Fiendish). Then you can use the comments for constructive criticism. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #990: Good & challenging grid (13 years, 8 months ago)

Hywel @ #975: Uummmm, yeah. Can you all just chillout? (13 years, 8 months ago)

Syrinx @ #947: 1,16,81,625 are all fourth powers (of 1,2,3,5) (13 years, 8 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #990: Loved this, lots of cheeky clues. (13 years, 8 months ago)

da88er @ #994: I enjoyed you grid, found it quite easy tho. (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #994: Too hard for me but I got all the groups after they were sorted so it seems fair. (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #993: Not very good (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #994: Nice - fair grid ;) (13 years, 8 months ago)

Joe 92 @ #975: Agree - this grid is bad because... it's rubbish. There's a skill in writing a good grid and it's missing here. Better luck next time amigos. (13 years, 8 months ago)

ChrisPhilpot @ #974: ...although "misspelt" should surely be a correct answer. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jaeric @ #888: anabsynxr is not a very common word (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #975: Saying that Joe 91 is "probably a 19 year-old with very little general knowledge" is an asinine assumption. Fact. Assumption. Fact. Asinine. Fact. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Jo @ #975: There is nothing wrong with this grid, very intelligent in fact. Looking at your username Joe91, you are probably a 19 year-old with very little general knowledge. Try improving it. A grid isn't bad because you can't do it. Fact. (13 years, 8 months ago)

BlueVanMan @ #988: Excellent, not tried these before, oh the pressure! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Drago @ #980: I eat hamster feet for a living! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #980: Well, the last comment I made was a compliment to the author, whereas the ppp has repeated "parc" (like a child) about 4 times in a row. And now I'm "Mr. Angry". It's just very childish. I call 'em as I see 'em; and I do so without resorting to childishly modifying whitebread insults as if that is anything but a pathetic ruse. Also, I don't go on and on with criticism that is clearly not going to have any effect. I use my head. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Mojopo @ #980: agree it's rubbish. Barnaby, I don't understand why you're picking on ppp's use of the word parc instead of concentrating on the intent behind his/her comment; that there seem to be a lot of crap puzzles coming in at the moment (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #980: Sorry to have offended you Mr Angry. I find "pathetic" and "childish" rather ironic coming from you. Try being pleasant instead of throwing tantrums. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #980: For one thing, apparently you are afraid to say "crap" and have chosen to be idiotic and say "parc" over and over. Which is pathetic and childish on at least three levels. That is one of the obvious things going on. (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #988: Easyish but Ok grid - in fact absolutely brilliant grid when compared to some of the parc ones that have been appearing recently (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #980: More parc what's going on? (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #985: impossible parc Seems like this one was composed by a twit with an "a". (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #977: anagram of parc (13 years, 8 months ago)

Derek @ #985: Back to peasy ones games grids. Do enjoy. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Barnaby @ #984: One ... well one of the few... in a....well not in a million but in about fifty that preceded it... that was quality. So: One (of the few) in a (series of about fifty but what seemed like) a million (that didn't suck). Congrats. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Derek @ #983: This my hardest one. (13 years, 8 months ago)

I Fear For You @ #979: Good Luck Derek. I don't think the loons that play puzzgrid will speak kindly of your grid. Hopefully I'm wrong. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Dr Poo @ #975: Very poor grid - time fot the Tardis. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Joe 91 @ #975: Agree - it's just a load of hard groups rather than anything intelligent. Might as well have thrown in a load of random words. Oh, hang on, you did that already. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #573: Brilliant! (13 years, 8 months ago)

Bruce @ #977: This is the worst grid ever. EVAH It is the essence of fail. I'd rather watch my intestines be ripped out by YO MUM. Fin. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #167: Like the Kylie set. (13 years, 8 months ago)

Ruddster @ #150: Needs more keywords. "Led Zeppelin members" was wrong and so was "snooker vocabulary". Otherwise, a very good grid. (13 years, 8 months ago)

fishface @ #981: Not really feeling this one, good effort though. (13 years, 8 months ago)

pp @ #981: note to self - don't bother with 'derek' (13 years, 8 months ago)

ppp @ #964: homophone synonyms not good imho - especially "aw" (13 years, 9 months ago)

ppp @ #971: anagram of parc (13 years, 9 months ago)

ppp @ #968: Way too easy! (for a darts playing graduate of Durham University) (13 years, 9 months ago)

ppp @ #967: "The Last" - guessy guessy Too hard - not too good. A good grid is one people have a **chance** of doing *even if they're not film buffs* (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hywel @ #975: Thanks for your feedback Mojopo. There are a lot of crossovers/red-herrings in there FYI, between all categories. One improvement I would like to the website is the ability to list them. They are: Astra (Vauxhall/-phobia), Phoenix (City in Arizona/mythical bird), Wyvern (mythical bird/Vauxhall) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #975: Just too hard/too obscure for me. The concept for me requires crossovers rather than just hard groups - I'd have liked to have seen 6 or 7 Vauxhall models for example. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #973: Quite easy - but good grid. BTW, I like easy but good grids more than fiendish but rubbish ones. (13 years, 9 months ago)

zhabba @ #971: Looks like the infinite number of monkeys have finally got on line. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #974: I love the way that the explanation of the group of misspellings is also misspelt! (13 years, 9 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #973: Nice, lots of wrong turns, but not too difficult in the end. Enjoyed it! (13 years, 9 months ago)

da88er @ #973: good point Hoo Ha! Thank you. (13 years, 9 months ago)

The Hoo Ha @ #973: Crossing group should also work with "things that can fly." (13 years, 9 months ago)

junior hornet @ #910: Chesterfield doesn't have a cathedral. (13 years, 9 months ago)

zzz @ #971: If you are going to create rubbish, at least learn some English. The plural of lady is ladies not lady's, and it is ladies WHOSE names. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Syrinx @ #355: Typing in Perfect gives an "incorrect" response. Annoying! (13 years, 9 months ago)

C Threepio @ #972: Seen better - clues too similar to make it a decent grid. Must have been written by somebody who has seen a few but doesn't understand the concept. Must dash, Darth is on his way :-( (13 years, 9 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #963: The way my mind works, I thought "Derogatory terms for an informant" was "Characters from Wind In The Willows". Anywho, nice grid, in my humble and much loved opinion. (13 years, 9 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #771: Is that really your main criticism with my comments? Have you even seen the other GRID SQUAD comments? Really? The ones aobut rubbing jelly on bottoms, and people dying, and I think I did put one nice one once actually. But yeah, it was probably all capitals. Anywho, I'll stop using capitals, but I'd still like to ram a pike (either the long lance or the fish) into your eye until it hits your brain, before using you as a pinata. Happy Cinco De Mayo! (13 years, 9 months ago)

WTF? @ #971: What kind of groups are these... ladies that sort of sound the same? (13 years, 9 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #971: Very easy? JUST GO DIE. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Barnaby @ #972: Not inane! Not asinine! Of course, absolutely nothing original, but.. Not inane! Not asinine! (13 years, 9 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #972: This is a cheeky little blighter. Nice work. (13 years, 9 months ago)

yohjibatt @ #972: love the twists in the puzzle (13 years, 9 months ago)

da88er @ #962: Thank you for taking back one of your comments. I would still like to play your grids, what name are they under? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Barnaby @ #962: Well, if you want to play that game that you don't understand how categories like: "The 4 most common surnames in Wales" "Middle names of some famous actresses" And "Things you can turn" Are three kinds of asinine? Then, I take back my comment. The second one. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hywel @ #935: Very clever indeed! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Loz @ #957: Loved the hidden numbers, lovely stuff. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hywel @ #966: Great. Anagrams fooled me; music education wasted! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hywel @ #710: Yes, I agree with zhabba (13 years, 9 months ago)

The Nurdler @ #553: Really enjoyable, a lovely mix of categories. Needles and teeth are the kind of categories that are obvious yet difficult to pin down. Nicely done! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #906: . . . but fair cop, point taken - it's a mistake. I meant Knight Bus. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #906: Actually, the last time I waited for a night bus it didn't turn up! So maybe they are fictional sometimes :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #962: "Feedback is always welcome[..] But, personal attacks are not." - a perfect summary of my position on how commenters should conduct themselves. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #962: Da88er I don't know why people are moaning about your grids. I really enjoyed this one! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Big @ #966: Enjoyed this one, although while I recognised that there were anagrams, I'm ashamed that I didn't spot the connection. I'm amused by the fact you posted this almost immediately after I submitted #965, considering the very similar connections. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Emma @ #906: A night bus is not fictional (I've been on many myself). Do you mean the Knight bus from Harry Potter? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Syrinx @ #30: Please get rid of this rubbish! (13 years, 9 months ago)

da88er @ #962: Feedback is always welcome, thank you. But, personal attacks are not (e.g. "Perfect asininity" is a bit personal and harsh). Let's at least try to be civil. Barnaby, I would like to try one of your grids to see how it should be done. What name are they under? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Jaeric @ #836: Poor overall (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #962: Going with the Barnaby flow here. It is like a mind reading contest. (13 years, 9 months ago)

fishface @ #963: hard one! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Barnaby @ #962: Just to clarify. The reason I have commented on da88er's puzzles is because while many others are rotten puzzles, those ones are more obviously constructed by people who haven't a clue about many aspects of the game or even how to spell, make logical associations, or be consistent in any way what so ever... Where da88er just seems to simply miss the point of the game. It's not a mind-reading contest. You must be able to do the first part as well as the second part. In other words my criticism is harsh because _you_ could do this correctly. I can see that. (13 years, 9 months ago)

fishface @ #962: Ha ha! Fun grid! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Barnaby @ #959: These three attempts you have made to get one bad experiment out are simple forms of the verb 'fail'. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Barnaby @ #962: Perfect asininity. An awful lot of these are bad. But yours can be pointed to as particularly bad examples. Kudos! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Scootleboot @ #958: I watch TV! Scooootleboooot! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Big @ #956: Yes, it was rather fiendish. My apologies. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Big @ #957: Fair enough - point taken (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Keen @ #959: Sorry, this one has a mistake - it should say "It has been destroyed" not "It has been destroye". I typed it in correctly (I checked) but it came out wrong. I corrected it on 961. (13 years, 9 months ago)

munkie @ #954: just okay (13 years, 9 months ago)

fishface @ #954: good grid, better than ones with just numbers, not that hard (13 years, 9 months ago)

SoccerMan @ #952: Hi pp: - which ones have the mismatches? Just for my future reference so I get it right next time. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #945: ooh, hard but i really liked it. nice one! (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #941: not easy, but not much fun either. metalworking and cabbages? not my cup of tea, i guess. the clue one was quite nice though. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #951: this one's a bit potty (13 years, 9 months ago)

TheBookie @ #951: Smokin' grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #947: Or Ms. qqq, perhaps, apologies. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #947: Mr. qqq is correct, there should only be one solution. That does not exclude red-herrings, which are very important. (13 years, 9 months ago)

qqq @ #947: Keener: well yes, red herrings are vital, but I think the key to a really good grid is only having one unique solution (but I admit it is exceptionally hard to be sure of that). On Only Connect, the grids only ever have one unique solution. (13 years, 9 months ago)

qqq @ #947: Keener: well yes, red herrings are vital, but I think the key to a really good grid is only having one unique solution (but I admit it is exceptionally hard to be sure of that). On Only Connect, the grids only ever have one unique solution. (13 years, 9 months ago)

OLC @ #938: Thought the categories were good, but not accepting lake for the great lakes was harsh (13 years, 9 months ago)

sdf @ #950: hmm, a bit quirky (or should that be quarky!) (13 years, 9 months ago)

sdf @ #947: Nice grid overlappy thingies are what makes the puzzles fun (13 years, 9 months ago)

Keener @ #947: But that's the joy of these grids, isn't it? Having red herrings and more than one solution makes it more of a challenge... (13 years, 9 months ago)

sdf @ #938: gotta agree with the ram dude. no overlappyness between the groups (13 years, 9 months ago)

anon @ #947: all the squares are also fourth powers (13 years, 9 months ago)

GRID SQUAD @ #946: Sincerely, you need to sort out your tea addiction before it's too late. (13 years, 9 months ago)

qqq @ #947: nice idea, well executed. 64 and 1 could be swapped over though... (1 x 1 x 1 = 1, 1 x 1 = 1; 8 x 8 = 64; 4 x 4 x 4 = 64) so there is more than one solution to the puzzle. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #944: Excellent - perfect balance. Hard, but doable. Nothing too obscure and good cross-overs. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #886: Hello Asmism. I've not been puzzgridding for a couple of weeks because of Christmas, but back now, and enjoyed your latest grid - keep them coming, as yours are by far the best! (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #938: I disagree - thought this was a great grid! (13 years, 9 months ago)

DJC @ #781: I got a 0/0, but I still found it clever (13 years, 9 months ago)

DJC @ #800: I have to question the Abbriviations of the NBA teams, I don't know of any "official" abbriviations, so, that seem sort of arbitrary. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #937: Agree about the music link - cantata doesn't really fit with the others (Jazz would!) (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #937: i thought the music one was slightly inconsistent—country is a genre, but a cantata is a musical form. you can talk about "a cantata" but not "cantata music" or "cantata" in general; with country, it's the opposite. others were very good. (13 years, 9 months ago)

El Lowmo @ #918: Right back at you, buddy! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Alba @ #939: doesn't pick up bread as a link (13 years, 9 months ago)

David @ #939: It's Humphrey BOGART. Bogarde is Dirk. Also agree with previous comments. I got correct connections for bread and knife but was marked incorrect because it wasn't the wording you had put. Not sure if this is you or the system that is at fault but it does rather turn this into a mind reading contest :-). Still thanks for your efforts. (13 years, 9 months ago)

qqq @ #935: awesome. if you like OC. (13 years, 9 months ago)

derp @ #929: Spoiler: I was disallowed "pirate captains", please change... (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ram Dom @ #938: I marked it not good because. 2 categories way too easy 2 categories very hard (obscure) Personal opinion is that good grids need a consistency of difficulty across the grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ram Dom @ #939: Spoiler alert... "knife" was marked as incorrect "bread" was marked as incorrect (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ram Dom @ #934: Spam (13 years, 9 months ago)

gwil0r @ #919: Good grid. I missed out on solving the wall as I didn't get graphite for its group. (13 years, 9 months ago)

gwil0r @ #937: I'm British and I knew all the NBA teams and even their respective states/cities. Not obscure at all. Good grid! (13 years, 9 months ago)

gwil0r @ #570: Tenuous - and two word prefix puzzles. Thumbs down from me, i'm afraid. (13 years, 9 months ago)

DJC @ #937: NBA teams are not obscure if you are an American... I marked it as an american puzzle (isn't that the point of the country of origin and searching by that). That is why I like this site vs. playing the ones on the Official website... half the connections are something only a Brit would know (Brit TV, non-worldly known Brit landmarks, etc). (13 years, 9 months ago)

fred @ #937: too obscure (esp. NBA teams) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #932: Two incredibly easy groups with no crossover. The other 2 groups 2 obsure/specialist (13 years, 9 months ago)

Alba @ #933: A tad subjective methinks (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #933: Could potentially have been good - still easy. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #929: Easy and good quality. (Let's not automayically confuse an easy grid with a poor grid and a hard grid with a good grid) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #928: Hard, but good grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

Cryptoid @ #924: Where has 924 gone? I'm sorry about the two Taurus mistake, and I hope one of them will be replaced with 'Scorpio'. Then it will work fine! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Freddie @ #925: 'Things I used to drink' I think you're still on them in my opinion. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #924: Corrected at Cryptoid's request (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #925: Uncalled language in the links. "what I used to drink" as a link is useless - they're all beers or lagers but not accepted. Logical links, e.g. spirits not accepted (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #924: This can never work. I did the puzzle again and got it wrong - then realised I'd used the "wrong" Taurus. How is anyone supposed to know which of the two identical Tauruses go in which category? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mojopo @ #924: Having the same word in 2 categories doesn't work for me. If it starts becoming the norm, we'll end up with a different game. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ram Dom @ #862: Not my thing - each group is distinct, no crossover. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ram Dom @ #916: Hard - but a bit unbalanced. 2 very easy groups 2 quite obscure ones (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ram Dom @ #919: Good grid. It's hard because the topics are obscure - i.e. require specialist knowledge. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #914: Careful with Lily/Lavender, virtually could go either direction but I guess lavender flowers aren't used that much. Also be careful how you enter linking terms, the best here would have been: "potter, harry", "snow", "who" and "flower, plant". Otherwise you penalise people who write in a slightly different way. (e.g. missing the s on flowers). But welcome to the site and well done! (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #877: Yes, all censorship is in a sense 'arbitrary' in that the cut off point is a matter of personal taste. The judgement is the administrator's to make. Why don't you consider censorship of spam to be arbitrary? I'm sure the spammers are extremely keen to express themselves. I wish you would tell me why my analogies don't work. Why do you accept that you can't swear in a court room but not that you can't do so here? You have thrown a lot more expletives at me than arguments. (13 years, 9 months ago)

smiley @ #895: I got a point for an incorrect guess of "William" for the captains of enterprise! very generous, but ultimately incorrect. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #877: I'm not not missing a thing. You are acting arbitrarily (as is always the case when tossing about words like "vulgarity" and "swear" and "bad language"). It's as simple as that and you know it. You may not be forthright enough to be able to admit it at this point, but that is up to you. So far all you've done is continue to put forth your bad "analogies" and other nonsense. Now we have the revelation that "like any other group there are rules for conducting such conversation," which is just more bullshit. And, now, you are worried about the French language "kids"; I'm f***ing positive they don't need you or any other wordmaster deciding what "horrific" words they should or shouldn't be "putting up with". And now you've censored my previous post by doing the "adult" thing and protecting the kiddies from F***ING by "cleverly" hiding it with some asterisks. And now it is a skill (a skill we "all" possess, which would be no skill at all) to refrain from using this "vulgarity" you subjectively fear. And, now, you'd like me to go away because I am pointing out your foolishness -- pleading ruination of all the time and effort you've put in... Why don't you consider being upstanding? Admit you have been wrong about this censorship. Or you can kow-tow to the f***ing morons of the world. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Jaeric @ #692: Rip surely should be RIP (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mondae @ #892: Good ideas but a couple of things wrong... "Pursues" should be "Perseus"; the film is actually "Coco Before/Avant Chanel" and not just "Coco" (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #877: I think you miss the point of my *analogies*. I'm not saying that this is a restaurant, nor a job interview. This is a group of people having a conversation. Like any other group there are rules for conducting such conversation. From time to time they will not be respected and so be enforced. Now you may object that the rules are not clearly laid out anywhere and perhaps that's something I should address. I'm not crypto-moralizing, whatever that means. Have you seen the grids which seem to be a French teacher teaching his kids? I'd rather they didn't have to put up with language like that. Expressing oneself without vulgarity is a skill I know we all possess and I'd appreciate it if people used it here. If that is not possible then please stop using the site, in which I have invested a great deal of time and effort. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #877: Okay, now you are just spouting bullshit. If you went into a restaurant and started shouting _anything_ you would be ejected. No one is shouting anything and this isn't a restaurant. This is a section of the site that solicits comments. And some fool said "cunt" and you made special case out of that and started pretending that this was a "family-friendly" (crypto-moralizing nonsense if ever there need be an example) site, a job interview, and now a restaurant... And this snideness about a "key feature", how patronizing. You're f*****g wrong about this. That's why you have to keep coming up with these weak arguments. This isn't a restaurant, no one is shouting, this isn't an interview, deleting spam isn't censorship, the ability to "swear" isn't a "feature" I'm looking for. The ability to have everyone be able to express themselves in the comments section without you coming in at the behest of others or upon your own whims and deciding that "cunt" is a problem where "muff" is just right. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #877: Freedom to express opinions is important. However if you go into any restaurant and start shouting obscenities you will be ejected. I have also been rampantly censoring hundreds of spam ads for pharmaceutical products posted here and I don't apologise for that either. If a key feature you look for in a puzzle site is the ability to swear in comments without moderation then you may want to move elsewhere. (Sorry). (13 years, 9 months ago)

sub @ #781: impressive (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #877: Veil not drawn. Thread not ended. I hesitate to call this "let me be the one to pull the veil and end this thread" an insidious attempt at censorship in itself, but it certainly would play out that way. This needs to be continued especially in the light of the ~closing~ remarks... Racism, too, is not to be censored. This is another bad argument. Let a racist expose his idiocy. And let it be seen by all. Anyone who wonders what the hell is going on can then get a good look at the idiocy and learn to deal with it. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #877: Thanks elgrippa (and Ryan), as you say: veil drawn. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hal Sutton @ #877: Free speech should be encouraged not censored. I think puzzGrid is wrong in this instance. Apart from a few bad apples this site/forum is generally quite decent and should remain so. (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #357: nice grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #358: excellent grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #877: As the one who stimulated the original offending comment, (and seems to be doing so again with Billy's thoughtful, considered and as it happens very accurate response) let me be the one to pull the veil and end this thread. Censorship is acceptable in some circumstances - racism for example should be excluded from this forum - and since puzzGrid had the decency to create this remarkably open site for those of us who enjoy such things I for one support his/her decision to remove what he/she considers might offend. Happy new year! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #886: Excellent, Murdoc. Glad to hear it. Do you speak of the music description or the difficulty difficulty? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #877: puzzGrid, I utterly stand by my point, but would now like to ramp-down the vehemence towards you. While seeking to demonstrate that words are only powerful in a relative sense and all of them are useful, I perhaps applied one too many "strong" words: "bullshit argument" as to your reasoning; let me say instead "fallacy" as I'm not convinced that you were trying to bullshit anyone. :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #877: The word is not dangerous, merely inappropriate in the context of a family-friendly puzzle site. Just as it would be inappropriate in a job interview. It's a slippery slope, but I've got decent grip so I think we'll be OK. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #877: Aw come on! Let's not start this. No reason to censor. It's a slippery slope, it is. If the drunk wants to say "cunt", let him. The word will not kill or in any way mentally scar _anyone_; and it only goes to further illuminate the drunk's frustrated and dull-witted character to post such an inarticulate criticism. Not because the word "cunt" is or (or evil) but as a critique? a single word? I'll give you a single word: pathetic. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #885: A bit broad. But mostly the keywords didn't work. I hate to keep repeating myself, not because I don't enjoy the sound of my own typing, mind you, but... you shouldn't use plurals. "Types of dog" is just as legit as "dogs". (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #883: Nice. Like a nice warm muff... ;) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mr Whackem @ #874: When I was this young man's headmaster I knew he would go far - and hear's the proof! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Billy Nomates @ #874: "Briefly" - Brilliant! (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #850: very impressive (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #852: very impressive (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #853: indeed very easy but a nice topical theme (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #857: not so sure about ....shop and the chaps require rather specialised knowledge. (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #858: very impressive though i had never come across ....solitare (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #864: not as impressive as some of your others (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #863: bit easy this one (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #862: excellent, the best one i have done so far (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #873: nice one (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #877: Awesome! (I failed utterly) (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #33: does it really matter so long as you get the groups? a nice mixed grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #877: And a merry christmas to you scoot! This one was not supposed to be easy, but despite what the delightful scootlboot's thoughtful comment might lead you to believe it is not impossible and fulfils the rules of the game. (13 years, 9 months ago)

scootleboot @ #877: [should watch his language] (13 years, 9 months ago)

anon @ #877: Maybe just a little unfair, but not complaining - very, very well done (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #879: Not bad except for the synonyms... (13 years, 9 months ago)

elgrippa @ #876: sorry there is a mistake - one word repeated twice (13 years, 9 months ago)

Neville @ #870: 7/10... Thought this was really easy - why was this marked fiendish? Lots of fun, regardless! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #870: I had to do some educated guessing but got all the groups. I liked it. Twas fun. And the keywords apparently worked nicely because on a couple of them my guesses weren't exactly what you indicated. So, double kudos. BTW, I never witnessed it, but I always thought PBJ GVCCVAT was for real. :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #869: Another one I had to get out of my system... and, being so, thus being hasty getting it out, it might be considered an xmas present to those of you who tire of my mouthy, wordy, blathering group descriptions... Except now, alas, I've come and ruined all that with this commentary here... (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wakamoleguy @ #870: Apologies...the soda variety is missing the W's. The one from the puzzle is a song. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #867: 3/10. insanely difficult to get the groups—i counted at least five red herrings. but i figured out most of the links. nice one. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #867: I liked the FHR TENSGBA group; though I personally wouldn't actually know those, I know of them. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #866: Better than anything E Scrooge ever put out... :) But, still, the keywords didn't work (for instance I put DHRRA and got an "incorrect"). (13 years, 9 months ago)

E Scrooge @ #866: Bah, humbug. Average, to say the least. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #831: Agree with MD (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #784: Glad you all liked. 8D (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #829: frank, sorry to get fnord back to you so late. Yes, fnord. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fnord Intriguing, fnord amusing, sublime, sublimb, sublimn? Take fnord from it what you will... ;) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #860: Ha! Cool... I was just working on a GUERR group; and I'd so far only come up with GUERR GUERRF (and, even funnier, mine were all different :)) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #844: Hey, thanks, MissyG. Always nice to hear you enjoyed. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #861: Excellent. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #856: Agree with joon. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #855: Cool. Except for the keywording of the synonym one... (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #854: Tenuous. Sorry, but tenuous. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Colonel Mustard @ #857: Not bad. Maybe I'll wear my union suit whilst strolling to the station? (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #859: 15 of these 16 words were meaningless to me. not much fun. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #857: lovely! (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #856: i enjoyed 3 of the categories. the one with state abbreviations was both difficult and rather unsatisfying, maybe because "winy" and "caky" are pretty lame words. (also, i bet you could make four 6-letter words or common names out of 3 states each.) (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #858: infernal! throwing cincinnati into the "reds" category was pure evil. great fun overall though. (13 years, 9 months ago)

wordboydave @ #838: Nicely mixed, but I think it's wholly ungettable by non-Brits. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Karen @ #858: Great! (13 years, 9 months ago)

mags @ #854: (13 years, 9 months ago)

Davymac @ #854: A star performer (13 years, 9 months ago)

mags @ #31: need to allow a bit more flexibility in the allowable answers - singular as well as plural! (13 years, 9 months ago)

HappyJambo @ #847: I put in 'vice presidents' as the answer, which was correct, but it still came up as wrong. =( (13 years, 9 months ago)

John Prescott @ #845: Disappointed not to see Eccles in the cake section, Having said that, I'm more of a pie man myself. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Roger Ramjet @ #847: "Vice Presidents" - wrong, the link was "Vice Presidents" (huh?) "UK Cities" - correct, the link was "US cities" (huh?) "Harry Potter" - correct, the link was "Gary Oldman" (huh?) I think the short answers need a bit of tweaking... (13 years, 9 months ago)

Norma Snockers @ #851: This isn't a grid - it's just an assortment of words with rubbish links. George W could have come up with better in his sleep. In summary - it's a load of old tosh, don't even bother with it. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #844: Ha ha Asmism - I always look forward to your grids, because of your funny explanations! Love the snake alphabet group! (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #847: Very easy. Didn't allow "Vice Presidents"as a keyword. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #852: Went back to test a couple of things... You UKers really should use just PYHR instead of PYHRQB. It'll work for both, so why not? Also, I continue to recommend that when doing a synonym(ish) group allow all the members you used to define that group as answers. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #852: Dig it. Dug it. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Jeffrey44 @ #396: I just tried it myself. It does accept "Star Wars Actors". (13 years, 9 months ago)

Samuel Johnson @ #842: It is maths, not math! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #847: Good. Pretty easy and broad but not bad. The keywords are screwed up though, as you can pretty much guess anything and they go 'correct'. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Neville @ #847: 10/10... Nice & Easy! :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #844: Mick, there were at least 2 "Red Scares" (at least in the USA) one strongly tied to McCarthyism. Both hyper-active fear-mongering maneuvers designed to stir tiny minds in to a state of irrational obedience. puzzGrid, do I need to resubmit the puzzle once it's fixed or do you think the db has the correct data and it's just not showing? Thanks again for the app and for working on this aspect of it. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #839: Let me guess about the forum... Perhaps Drunken Idiot showed up? Or Spam Spamedico? ;) Anyway, maybe we can use www.runboard.com and require some recaptcha to register and otherwise individually ignore those who we individually want to ignore without having to moderate or any other such likewise tedious nonsense. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #844: Nooo.. sorry we'll get to the bottom of this eventually. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #839: Afraid no forum at the moment, I put it in the box at the top-right for a little bit, but that's easy to miss. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #843: really did not like the "3" category. (13 years, 9 months ago)

tunna @ #710: same as zhabba (13 years, 9 months ago)

Mick p @ #844: Don't get red scare (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #844: Oops. It's only showing 20 characters, though it accepted 21 & 22. Anyway, it's not particularly difficult (or good) even though one of the groups (at least) will garner some groans... But I like the group, maybe just not the description... sssssssssso there. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #839: Fantastic, puzzGrid! I had no idea you'd worked it out Is there a forum or something where I'm missing communication? Anyway thanks for the elbow room. I just have the one puzzle so far that requires more than 16 characters, but now that we have more room I'm sure we'll be able to be more creative. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #842: A scrumptious and delectable brontosaurus burger served up on the shores of Lake Krushcheva for a PhD in Flinstoneology. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Neville @ #842: 10/10 Walk in the park for a math/econ major :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wakamoleguy @ #842: Piece of cake for a CS major. I'm curious what others make of it. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #839: To clarify it does wrap so I guess the safest thing would be to enter "Buckminsterfull- erene". Yes that should be automated but again it may take a while. (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #839: Sorry! I totally screwed that up. I was surprised not to have seen an influx of long grids from you Asmism. Fixed now, sorry for that! I don't simply have a fondness for box 2. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #840: Real nice. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #839: Ehhhh... It's been a while... I need 2 long fields in the same group... Maybe I'll modify it later only 1 of them is essential... (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #839: HA! I've been holding a puzzle for months (?) now never having seen the mystery of the 2nd box! I will dig it out and try it. Thanks! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Radinden @ #839: Having now checked again, it turns out that boxes 1, 3 and 4 on each line take 16 characters, but box 2 takes 24. So the moral is, put the long ones in box 2, but only use about 21 characters! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Asmism @ #839: Yeah, I did ask to get the length of each of the 4 member fields increased from 16 to say 22~25 a while back. I guess PuzzGrid hasn't gotten around to it yet. Don't even know how you were able to get the submit grid page to accept anything beyond 16 characters... (13 years, 9 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #723: Error - spammers (13 years, 9 months ago)

Radinden @ #839: Well, I guess I've just discovered that "Buckminsterfullerene" is actually too long for the box. Oh well. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #834: fun one. easier for me than your previous offerings. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wakamoleguy @ #836: It's easy, but did you get the (poorly) hidden theme? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Pete M @ #825: I knew it would be tough on you young folk. :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #826: really nice one. totally flummoxed by the christmas set. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #825: more of a sporcle quiz than a puzzgrid, isn't it? in fact, i did this sporcle quiz yesterday. (i also failed it utterly.) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Hugh Jorgan @ #830: nice grid - beats some of the recent rubbish i.e. #780. Would have liked to see a couple more red herrings however, overall, tidy. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wakamoleguy @ #832: This one was a toughy. I rated it Fiendish, as the categories were pretty obscure. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wakamoleguy @ #831: Nice grid. Pretty straightforward. I didn't know Hawkman or Starman, but I guessed the category anyways. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wikipedia @ #820: A spider is a type of skimmer used in Asian and Dutch cooking in the form of a wide shallow wire-mesh basket with a long handle, used for removing hot food from a liquid or skimming foam off when making broths. The name is derived from the wire pattern, which looks like a spider's web. (13 years, 9 months ago)

frank @ #829: fnord? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #831: Yes. Try and remember to put just enough letters to distinguish the group; I try and do this; it's easy enough to never use plurals. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MD @ #831: Very nice, 'battle' should count for WW2. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MD @ #830: Very good, clearly written by a nerd. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #826: Such a humbug am I that the only one I didn't get was that one... *facepalm*, I suppose, as the kids say (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #824: never would've gotten the hurricanes one, not in a million years. others were very straightforward though. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #823: hungry now. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #822: okay, the all caps thing was a little distracting, but i guess that was to conceal the MIT/TIM thing? anyway, fun one. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #822: NICE WORK ;) (13 years, 9 months ago)

HappyJambo @ #824: Nice grid. One of the groups threw me completely but the answer was good. =) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Roald Dalek @ #820: Yeah, like we all have spiders in our kichen. That was totally unexpected... (13 years, 9 months ago)

potholder @ #772: I typed in "hat" and got it right. Not to be mean, but did you misspell hat? (13 years, 9 months ago)

Jeremy @ #771: Hear Hear, Slimer! This is the worst 3 minutes of my life. Full stop. I wish I'd never stumbled across this painful puzzle, and how dare you say that about me! If anyone should die, it is Djent. Then you. Possibly together. Then the world would be a better place. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Peter File @ #815: I've never heards of these "Beatles." (13 years, 9 months ago)

Peter File @ #813: I think you should give wedding or marriage (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #816: Best of the new crop! Nice. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #815: Liked the Beatles one. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #810: Nice. Fun groups (if maybe 'centric). Good keywording even! But I will repeat that it is good practice to include all the FLABALZF when keywording a FLABALZ group. Keep 'em coming, please! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Pete M @ #815: Nice one. Got the Beatles right away, and sorted out the masks. Couldn't rearrange the last two, but figured out the vowel theme. For some reason I was trying to think of antonyms on the last one -- never saw the synonym link. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #804: Musquirt is at least as vile! ;) (13 years, 9 months ago)

mags @ #812: cunning! I like it (13 years, 9 months ago)

GeordieExile @ #799: It's not, but it is in the Orthodox and Catholic Bibles, so I figured it counted. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Nobby @ #777: Excellent grid. Very proud of myself for completing it. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #799: Wisdom is not in the King James Version! (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #805: More please Mrs B, love your grids! (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #806: Another good grid! (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #810: Finished it in the nick of time - 8 seconds to spare! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Nobby @ #806: Another top quality grid. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Nobby @ #807: Does what it says on the tin. Good easy grid. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Nobby @ #802: Very good wall, proper facepalm moment when the answers were revealed (13 years, 9 months ago)

Wakamoleguy @ #801: I agree that the football category was kind of weak. In other news, I accidentally put an extra comma at the end of my football keyword list, so whatever you put will be counted as correct. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Slimer @ #771: Djent is absolutely atrocious! (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #801: i thought the football one was a little weak, because there wasn't enough parallelism of the verb objects. you carry or spike the ball, but you complete or receive a pass. carry/spike/throw/kick (things you do to a football) or throw/complete/receive/intercept (things you do to a pass) would have been more satisfying. but i liked the other sets and found it a good challenge overall. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Trev Junior @ #798: Very good grid, easy and fun. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Go Djent @ #771: You should die, Jeremy. DI (13 years, 9 months ago)

Laramie Needle @ #800: I can't be doing with this sort of grid. It's been done to death. (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #798: Finished this in 12 seconds. Is this a record?! (13 years, 9 months ago)

MissyG @ #796: I totally agree with Spurt Reynolds. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan Bless-Head @ #799: What an enjoyable grid. Hip-Hip......Hip-Hip.......Hip-Hip! (13 years, 9 months ago)

Spurt Reynolds @ #796: One of the catagories is rubbish. You know the one. (13 years, 9 months ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #797: I didn't get STDFOO, which makes me a goon, as it was a catagory group that I have previously used myself (although the 4 that you did were all different.) Nice grid (13 years, 9 months ago)

pp @ #801: very usa-centric :) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Ryan @ #796: ;) (13 years, 9 months ago)

Drew Hoskins @ #792: "Get Lost" also works. (13 years, 9 months ago)

joon @ #800: egads, that was hard. what does it say about me that i guessed amino acids for the wrong group of 4? (13 years, 10 months ago)

joon @ #797: nice one--so many misleads (hobbits, wizards), but once it gave me the last two sets, the links were clear. i was probably tricked by knowing you're a tolkien fan. :) (13 years, 10 months ago)

GeordieExile @ #796: Top, top grid. Very sneaky. (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #790: Good grid - liked the JQKA group! (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #788: Who is Ronnie Sullivan? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mark Owen @ #780: Gary, we know that you've been a bit stressed as of late but there's still no excuse for you rating this grid 'quite good' (13 years, 10 months ago)

CAndyman @ #790: Just did it again. Cracking gird. Hats off for AJKQ (13 years, 10 months ago)

Robbie Williams @ #780: Gary, no wonder we fell out. 'quite good'? It was absolute 100% 24 carat shite. They should be banned from submitting grids forever (and even then, it;s not long enough). (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mustapha Pee @ #790: traditional grid ratehr than some of the pretentious tosh that you find on here (13 years, 10 months ago)

Irate Geordie @ #788: Got 'money' for that group and used that as the connection but didn't get the mark. Also, it's Ronnie O'Sullivan, not Sullivan. Poor form. (13 years, 10 months ago)

CAndyman @ #790: Nice grid (13 years, 10 months ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #784: First one of yours that I've completed in a while. Sweet (13 years, 10 months ago)

Jaez @ #306: "Bitter" does not mean sad "Pop groups" and "boy" were not recognised (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #788: Not bad, except the keywords! You need to accept singulars in case someone wants to say CRBCYR ANZRQ CNG for instance. And I don't know what happened with ZBARL, but I put exactly that and it didn't register... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #787: A little UK-centric... But I like the sentiment and it was otherwise well done. So I came back and voted higher than I had originally ;) (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #786: Pretty good. But those LRNEF are open to so many correct answers... weren't unique to that grouping. And I don't consider Boo to be BABZNGBCBRVN. (13 years, 10 months ago)

pp @ #784: fun (13 years, 10 months ago)

Davey Boy @ #784: Asmism, you never fail to dissappoint. More please! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Gary Barlow @ #780: I thought it was quite good. Each to their own. (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #784: I was taken in by the Kiss (band) red herrings! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Jeremy @ #771: You know nothing about guitars. Djent is a smelly waste of flesh and whomsoever let him at a guitar deserves to be shot. So many guitarists are better than Brian May e.g. Jimi Hendrix, or that hobo I saw busking. As for the others, I've forgotten them, but know that if I remembered I'd abuse them just as much. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Luke Skyrunner @ #767: Not bad (13 years, 10 months ago)

Huge G Rection @ #772: Every catagorie was a bit same same. All very good, but needs a bit a of a mix up. (13 years, 10 months ago)

frank @ #754: everythings hard if you aren't British!!!! (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #710: Good grid, but allowable answers are a bit lacking (13 years, 10 months ago)

frank @ #775: what????????????????????? (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #697: Very good one, that. (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #696: Nice pears! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Go Djent @ #772: Awesome! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Juan Car No Bee @ #767: I think I'm enjoying the bad Star Trek names more than the grid. (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #692: I liked that grid. (13 years, 10 months ago)

SPAM @ #768: MAPS (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mondae @ #768: SPAM! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #769: Nice. Only thing is I recommend as a rule including all the terms you use as clues as _keywords_ when the idea is FLABALZF. It just stands to reason, eh? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #766: Blu-ray isn't specifically Sony is it? This, a slight agreement with the double letter thing (and the keywords lacking there also, btw) are possible problems. Still, better than most, IMO! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Tango Fett @ #767: Nice grid man (13 years, 10 months ago)

Lan Doh @ #767: Good stuff (13 years, 10 months ago)

See 3 Pee Oh @ #767: Made me laugh x (13 years, 10 months ago)

Teddie Flintoff @ #754: ice wolf - who understands this? And who doesn't want to be British? (13 years, 10 months ago)

2 Bacca @ #767: What a load of rubbish. The worst grid on here. Worse even than the French ones! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Tiffer @ #765: Hats orf. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Tibbs @ #766: I just had some pancakes and I agree. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Hornicorn @ #766: I concur (13 years, 10 months ago)

The Miz @ #765: AWESOME! (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #766: The double letter group is a bit lame. Several end in "e", others have two vowels. Surely this type of thing is not strong enough to use as a proper link?! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mavid Dilliband @ #766: End in a double letter - what sort of nonsense is this? Very poor. Wouldn't allow it in my manifsto... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mavid Dilliband @ #763: not bad (13 years, 10 months ago)

Hornicorn @ #763: Slight give away as one group was all in lower case, whilst the other 3 had caps prefixes. Nice grid though. (13 years, 10 months ago)

joon @ #498: spectacular. although you didn't accept "autological" for group 1. :) (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #744: I googled "uncharted multi player 2 maps" and didn't get a single result, so none the wiser! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Foggy @ #759: Rating a 1 because the Jump ____ category words have way too many other connections (namely, they are all prepositions). (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #671: Agree with lostforwords, it's a bit strict on the scoring (13 years, 10 months ago)

Fatehr Christmas @ #757: I know a good puzzle when I see one and this case I saw nothing. Ling Shming - it's all the same to me :-) (13 years, 10 months ago)

Sven G-E @ #759: in my humble opinion - rubbish. Anybody seen Ulrika? (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #759: I agree with Ryan on the WHZC group. I just selected the four together as they were prepositions. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #757: Thanks, Davey & Hayley. As for you, Dear Santa, I'm sorry you and your elves (or who ever your "we" is) tried so hard to be clever and failed there. You guys will do better next time I'm sure. Or is the question moot? Will you continue to fail ...forever failing ling ling ling? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzle @ #740: Excellent grid. Struggled until 30 seconds before the end then suddenly saw two groups. The connection on the last one defeated me though!! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #759: Nice. Only I had a little trouble with the group keywords -- used YRGGRE for the Queue group and it was a no go... And, to be honest, WHZC is a little too broad for my tastes; most of those aren't especially WHZC things. WHZC is just one of many words you ~could~ combine with just about any prepostion. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Father Christmas @ #757: Things you can ling and moot? I think we're trying to be a bit too clever here and failing miserably. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Davey Boy @ #757: The legend is back with another cracker! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #727: 7/10 but only know Silent Night of those 4. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #741: Tonga, not tongo, either animals & tables should be both plurals or neither, but still one of the better ones. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mark @ #744: don't know what an uncharted multi player 2 map is, even with the answer, so no surprise I didn't get that one. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Wet Porn @ #741: Very nice. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Neville @ #741: 7/10 - missed one connexion. FYI Tongo is near Albania - I think you mean Tonga. Very nice though, but not hard at all. (13 years, 10 months ago)

JAG @ #728: Very well thought-out. Superb. (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #598: Now, that was a good grid. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Go West. @ #739: Nice grid (13 years, 10 months ago)

U.N.Owen @ #734: Had the same problem as Ryan, and also found that "half of" was not an acceptable way of expressing "one of a pair" (13 years, 10 months ago)

Al Snow @ #733: Not too easy, not too hard. I like! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #734: Still trouble with the keywords... I answered exactly what your put as the description for the group with Fitzgerald. And no match. The others let me down too, but that one was very strange because of how exactly "correct" I was... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Mondae @ #716: Typo in one of the solutions.... should say "unknown" - cringe! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Linocutboy @ #723: Heart of Midlothian is correct. Their nickname is Hearts. (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #506: not a bad grid, but the allowed answers are a bit ropey (13 years, 10 months ago)

Miso @ #725: Sorry for the typo. It should indeed be vane. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Miso @ #723: It's Hearts (with an s) of Midlothian. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Catfrog @ #723: I agree ! (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #725: Don't you mean weather VANE? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Jamesy @ #724: worst puzz grid ever (13 years, 10 months ago)

Shippers50 @ #687: "Amadeus" was about Mozart who is more generally recognised as a composer rather than a pianist. I think you should categorise this as "films about musicians" (13 years, 10 months ago)

Shippers 50 @ #697: Really good one this - did everybody else get suckered into the step/pest/pets/sept anagram at first?? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Babs from Pans People @ #720: Two pickles. Are we allowed doubles? If we are what about trebles or quadruples?? That was lies madness. Repent repent! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Jane @ #720: pretty good, some of the words for links could have been wider eg stuck for in trouble. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #720: Pretty good! Keywords didn't work; because, I suspect, a couple of the groups were somewhat difficult to construct them for (the VA N and BA GUR ones...). (13 years, 10 months ago)

Wet Porn @ #711: Gottcha. Cheers Ryan. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #711: Oh, okay, sorry. That's a way that spoilers can be disguised here in the absence of any tags to hide them... it's simple cipher (ROT13), made even simpler by using this online app: www.faqintosh.com/risorse/en/othutil/webapps/rot13/ (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #715: Thanks MissyG! I just de-interneted myself for a few days is all. Glad to see, when I came back, that there were some good new puzzles (and by new puzzlers, I think) .And glad to see the French class folks were still here too. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #719: Got them all... but I didn't actually. I guessed CRGF at the one with ENOOV (my one-that-falls-into-place-because-I-resolved-all-the-others)... and it gave me a correct; so, in this case, the keywords were working "too" well..I don't know how that happens exactly but I've seen it before. Maybe its simply a case of having too short of a keyword (eg "t,") Anyway... nice puzzle. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Wet Porn @ #711: I don't understand Ryan, as much as I would like to take on board your advise, I don't know what JNIR etc is. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Wolverine @ #713: X-men? You're having a laugh... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #695: Hey, I get complaints sometimes on wordplay too. And I too am not sorry :D! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #712: Argh! Would have had all of them but wasn't specific enough with NVEPENSG PNEEVREF -- just put FUVC. Fair enough But I'm still giving myself 9.67! ;) Been some good ones over the last 10 or so! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #711: See? If I was perfect I wouldn't of (have!) put "it's" when "its" is what it's supposed to of (have!!!!!!) bean (been!!!!!). (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #711: Pretty good; but again fails at the group keywords. Put in JNIR to test the one that, in it's very description, mentioned "JNIRF"... and it failed. I'll tell you why you should have simply put JNIR: because it is enough to discern the correctness of the guess, someone might put types of JNIR, as I did, or "JNIR SBEZ", or JNIRSBEZ... I'm certainly not trying to say that I do all my puzzles flawlessly, I'm only trying to help here. And I'm not about singling out this puzzle (except that I consider it a good one, and, therefore a good opportunity to say these kind of things again). There are some pretty good puzzles that can be made even better by paying attention to the "group keywording" as much as the fine work done on the words that make up the groups! ;) (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabba @ #401: Enjoyed that one. (13 years, 10 months ago)

zhabb @ #396: "Star Wars actors" = incorrect????? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Linocutboy @ #695: Oops, sorry about Arial, should have checked. Not sorry about re- though ;) (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #710: Good puzzle; but not good on the group keywords. (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #705: Did you mean Saint Nazaire, not Saint Nazarre? (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #704: Celcius should be celsius, farenheit should be fahrenheit. A bit of checking before you submit wouldn't go amiss! (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #696: Very good red herrings! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Linocutboy @ #692: Good point MissyG! Sorry about that. Originally I had Sole in the group which would have been exclusive to shoe. I'm not sure how you edit these grids once you've made them! (13 years, 10 months ago)

ph @ #102: The descriptions of connections are so bad I got all 4 but none were recognised (13 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #695: ...of creating such a nice grid ( i'm pissed as a fart btw, so is maybe not such a good compliment) (13 years, 10 months ago)

me @ #695: very nice grid, i can dream ;) (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #692: Tongue/Eye/Toe/Heel are all parts of the body, as well as parts of a shoe, but wasn't marked as a correct answer. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Pierre Pronom @ #672: Bah, oui...quand mme... (13 years, 10 months ago)

lostforwords @ #671: A little bit tight on the allowed keywords since they are RYRZRAGF and IREOF, but otherwise very good. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Scootleboot @ #668: Not as good as my grids. You need to step up your game you curly pigs tail. Scooootleboooot! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #670: Well, it was a "make up" for my last one... And it was set up by the GEVCYR IBJRY group, which I figured was maybe difficult, so the others were meant to "make up" for that. ;) ~~~~~~~~~~ Btw, it isn't my intention to make my puzzles "fiendish" usually; though no one has yet identified any of the overall themes to any of the puzzles I've done with that kind of thing. It's an extra 2 points, remember! :) (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #670: A bit too easy - asmism your grids are normally harder than this! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #668: Sorry, Neville. This puzzle was a farce. A complete farce. Just to see who is paying attention -- I guess you could call it an attention seeking farce. My next one is for real again. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Neville @ #668: 4/10. Somehow I made all four matches with no problem. I have no idea how. Thoughts: "Food" should be acceptable, because no one will guess what you've got. I can't verify any of these matches. Especially the non-existent TV show (Adult Swim is Cartoon Network/Turner branded, not Nickelodeon/Viacom branded). By non-existent, I mean it didn't come up in Google. Sketchy! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Scootledboot @ #666: You're the number of the BEAST!! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #666: Yeah, "Pink Eye" (aka conjunctivitis) is not obscure at all... About 832,000 results (0.12 seconds) on Google as a phrase. MissyG, is correct, though, the figure-it-out (cheeky too, yes) one was "Pink Canoe". (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #666: Pink eye is an inflammation of the eye. I didn't know what pink canoe was until I googled it. Obviously I have led a sheltered life! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Papa Smurf @ #666: What on earth is a Pink Eye? Too obscure... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #664: You cannot speak of "category 2". The order of the categories is entirely up to how _you_ solve the board. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Tom @ #664: Category 2 makes no sense whatsoever, and yeah, the period after art screws up the whole thing. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #665: I did put "Bunsen Honeydew" but unless you have your fonts squoooooozed... all you'll likely see is "Bunsen"... Still pretty easy group with BFPNE, TBAMB and NAVZNY; but I especially like the name "Bunsen Honeydew". (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #664: Dammit! puzzGrid can you take the period off of "Art."? Thanks. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzle @ #32: Yes sorry Joe, clearly it should say 'all can be followed by'. My apologies. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Quizzle @ #655: I enjoyed this one. Good grid. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #663: Good puzzle; And even better because I was able to get them all becaaaaaaause.... all the keywords worked as well! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #661: Not enough British enough Not. (13 years, 10 months ago)

rgs @ #653: hurrah one I could match up in the time but thought pokeman connection difficult (13 years, 10 months ago)

rgs @ #641: answers too specific (13 years, 10 months ago)

MissyG @ #640: The couscous group didn't work because it wasn't spelt properly! (13 years, 10 months ago)

frank @ #447: louie etc obvious (13 years, 10 months ago)

Lucy @ #566: Loved this one!! Very Coren-ientated!! (13 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #647: Afraid not at the mo, sorry. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #656: Not bad! Your best even... but still having problems with keywords. Plus it's definitely "The Strokes". (13 years, 10 months ago)

anon @ #652: "Scottish clans" a little weak - good red herring, though (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #634: I always thought that worked regardless? It always has for me; maybe I'm just incredibly lucky? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Asmism @ #647: Hi, puzzGrid! ...any progress on the 16 letter limit thing? (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #655: Nice! Nice? Nice! ;) (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #654: Otherwise, btw, as far as I could tell, a good puzzle! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #654: CVTTVRF didn't work... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #652: See #540 (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #649: Also, UBZBTENCU should get a correct... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #648: Once again, keywords fail... I got NPEBALZ only to be denied... Good puzzles are rare to find so those of you who can make them please work on your keywords too. (13 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #647: I enjoyed it! (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #647: Why would you go to all that trouble and leave one clue without an "sh" ending? One as mundane as food? Easily you could have worked something in... And worse? Rush is very much still together; legendarily so! Nil points! ;) (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #643: Pretty good. I failed to get ARJFCNCREF because I just put CNCREF... which I would almost say is 4 in a row of bad keywords... but I've already said 3 in a row so... I... won't... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #642: Man that's 3 in a row of "the puzzles alright" but the keywords ruined it... (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #641: Yeah, the keywords didn't work well, but a pretty good puzzle. (13 years, 10 months ago)

Ryan @ #640: Not bad, but along with what you've pointed out already... the keywords for the groups didn't work very well. For instance I put PNEF and got "incorrect"... (13 years, 10 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #649: Good grid, but Jill and Jenny can be swapped so there's no unique solution. (13 years, 10 months ago)

U.N.Owen @ #495: I think 'rubbish' as well as 'trash' should be allowed, for the sake of British players. Also 'collective nouns' for animals should be acceptable. (13 years, 10 months ago)

frank @ #446: very difficult! (13 years, 10 months ago)

frank @ #442: not heard of the novels so couldn't get final connection (13 years, 10 months ago)

james @ #184: c'mon movie(s) doesn't work? has to be films? (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #182: wiki monsoon wedding. its about a punjabi wedding in delhi. I'd never heard of it either. (13 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #641: Very nice grid, but you let yourself down by not marking people correctly. Instead of "countries in africa", type "afric". Then anyone typic Africa, African, etc. will get the mark when they clearly know the answer. (13 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #644: nice crossovers, good grid (13 years, 11 months ago)

ParinaChica @ #640: Sorry all - there's a spelling mistake. Coucous should be couscous - and this is important for the grid! (13 years, 11 months ago)

zhabba @ #276: enjoyed that one (13 years, 11 months ago)

zhabba @ #267: Bit severe on the allowable answers. Good grid though (13 years, 11 months ago)

zhabba @ #262: Ooooooh, BMWs surely. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Chris @ #634: Having two Morrises in there is problematic unless you can click either one and it will still work in combination with the other ones in the group. Otherwise, how do you know whether you're clicking on the 'right' Morris? (13 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #371: really good one!! (13 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #391: Don't you guys think presidents should work for the presidents group? not just presidents with a nobel peace prize? (13 years, 11 months ago)

James @ #422: typed "car brands" exactly and still incorrect. WHAT??! (13 years, 11 months ago)

NKTP @ #616: Yes, I should have read the instructions better. My bad. Apologies to all. (13 years, 11 months ago)

John Crowley @ #12: Green Day is two separate words. (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #392: voice ranges = incorrect :( (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #164: I put "NETWORKS" for the "Television Stations" and was incorrect. They are Television Networks, not just stations. (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #160: yeah, i put "measurements of volume" (not sound), and was incorrect. i think if anyone doing this puzzle thinks its the other kind of volume, they are sadly in the wrong place. (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #149: like Ryan, i too wondered why capital letters were used for some but not others. it kinda gave it away at the end when i had four lower and four upper case. (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #45: i put "sound qualities" for the first link and i was incorrect. :-( (13 years, 11 months ago)

james @ #18: Like Clifford, i just hit enter on the last category and it said CORRECT!! WOOHOO! (13 years, 11 months ago)

MissyG @ #625: The dodo group was poor - there are lots of animals that can't do lots of things - there didn't seem to be a very good common link between them! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Dagehampstead @ #628: Excellent grid, although I would have struggled with one of the catagories if I wasn't a Londoner. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Cheetahfur @ #625: I hope you enjoy this one. =^_^= Dedicated to Dexter (13 years, 11 months ago)

Scootleboot @ #623: Growl. I like. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #618: Yeah, mix it up even more. And remember your red herrings. And don't make it entirely esoteric. These are my suggestions. Looking forward to more! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #619: spam (13 years, 11 months ago)

Cheetahfur @ #617: Loved it. Very hard =^_^= only got them when grouped... Hehe (13 years, 11 months ago)

Cheetahfur @ #618: *blushes* thanks =^_^= I made sure i mixed it up a bit, using some unusal b vitamins... as not everyone knows all of the b's which i think there are about 15... Most have a couple of names depending on their exact composition hehe. Ill try doing more to do with science. If you want to send any suggestions you can at puzzlethecheetah@gmail.com. I design puzzles in my spare time... Any type, any subject, from simple to something that makes you shout Aaaarrg. (13 years, 11 months ago)

MissyG @ #616: Typo - Dickins s/b Dickens (13 years, 11 months ago)

Scootleboot @ #613: Many apologies, I was just a little upset. Scooootleboooot! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #613: Haha. Some tissues for you too, you polluted fool? To tell the truth, I feel much better having the resident drunken idiot, scootleboot, upset rather than pleased by any puzzle I may create. (13 years, 11 months ago)

scootleboot @ #613: yer a twat (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #616: Ditto on Ryan - more/more lenient keywords - also a misspelling or two. A nice effort, though! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #595: Glenn (and I wish Nikki would see this) you need to be more specific on the "row" as the row is determined by the order you solved them -- it means nothing to say "final row". ;) (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #616: The puzzle was pretty good but the group keywords didn't work at all. You need to put just enough letters to distinguish the answers (eg. "energ" for "energy" or "energies" {or even "energetic"}) then, if necessary (which usually, yes) put a comma immediately (eg "energ,") to add other possible variations on the answer (eg. "write, author, unfinish")... (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #613: Are you soliciting, Boggers? You want pictures? A sample? A crusty mass of tissues for you to cry in to? (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glenn @ #595: yes. Rather good - But i chose White for the final row. Does this not fit just as well ? (13 years, 11 months ago)

Boggers @ #613: You're a tosser aren't you? (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #612: 7/10 - Very fun! Admittedly, I found this easy because I've used one of those groups before. One of these eluded me - I just put foods. I'll give myself credit anyway, though :) Nice puzzle! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #614: 5/10 - Not familiar with 'touch wood,' but otherwise, very nice! I see that's a geographical difference - we say 'knock on wood' - I huess I've learned something new! Thanks! Fun puzzle to be sure. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #352: Good one! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #353: Good one! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #359: Good one, although wasn't sure about what to put as the connection for the first! Vessels didn't work! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #358: Got all the sets but the wrong connections on two of them! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #357: Good one! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #356: Difficult one! (13 years, 11 months ago)

MissyG @ #608: Good quality grid, but a bit too easy! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #612: Excellent! Your best yet! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #595: 10/10 - quite fun! Thanks for this one, Jeff! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #611: Kept some explanations very short... and then, with ONPXF, went on to ramble beyond reason and decorum and space allotted. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Scootleboot @ #600: Hey baby, you like fine cooking? Cause you know what? I got a swanson dinner in the freezer with your name on it! Scooootleboooot! (13 years, 11 months ago)

sistasoul @ #457: fun! (13 years, 11 months ago)

sistasoul @ #610: Good one. Fairly easy, although I wasn't sure of the Smash Brothers one. Good job, Neville! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #599: 10/10 - clever! Really easy, but it made me smile - which isn't true about many of these puzzles :) (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #607: 4/10 - 2 were easy, 2 were hard! What I knew I found awfully easily, though. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #608: 10/10 - very easy, but very well constructed (hard for an easy puzzle!) I want more! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #609: Eh... IMO, a slip back into narrowness. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #608: That's even better than the last! I missed getting the link for the ZBGURE group. Maybe with a bit more thought I'd have gotten it? Maybe not. But knowing you can put out quality puzzles I shall not give up so easily! Keep it up, please! (13 years, 11 months ago)

zhabba @ #101: pointless (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #600: Yes, you are right. That's what my post before said (the goobledygook is in ROT13 {google it! and you're sure to find a quicky-app for decoding} which is used around here for "spoilers"). (13 years, 11 months ago)

Nikki @ #428: Nice. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #575: You win a prize if you see the theme of the entire puzzle... many of mine have over arching themes; this one is the easiest to see. Grok in fullness? (Also, the prize is imaginary - I mean I guess I'd send the winner a nice bottle of water but for the logistics...) (13 years, 11 months ago)

Stephen Jones @ #598: Law 2.9(b): Retired If any batsman leaves the field of play without the Umpire's consent for any reason other than injury or incapacity, he may resume the innings only with the consent of the opposing captain. If he fails to resume his innings, he is recorded as being Retired - out. For the purposes of calculating a batting average, retired out is considered a dismissal. Source - Wikipedia Like Mark, I thought this dismissal was a bit dubious but there it is in black and white. But saying that, I really did enjoy this grid. Keep 'em coming! (13 years, 11 months ago)

mark @ #598: Retired isn't really a dismissal, less than those not there, but still a very good grid. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #593: Nah, not lucky. There may often be things you have to make educated guesses at... but these are 'educated' guesses. You know enough to anticipate a set from 2 or, better yet ,3 constituents, and then figure out the other(s). That's often the way the game goes! ;) So... well done, algsjd. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Silver @ #571: French Stewart is an American actor, he was in Third Rock From The Sun. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #554: The below was me as Asmism; the second time here I've screwed up like that. Don't know why I adopted the pseudonym (maybe because the "submit a grid" page tempts?) in the first place... but I guess I'll just keep switching back and forth anyhow -- see if I can avoid screwing up ever again. A mini-game with myself! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #554: Nah, while I am all for including as many legitimate matches as possible, I think it's fair that I just didn't get the group by going so broad. You have a more select group there, and I should have to recognize that. Now, on OC Victoria would probably give me a "be more specific" chance but that really can't be done here. As with many of the puzzles, I know how well I did anyway regardless of the "official" score... it's no big deal. I give myself 1/4 of a point! :) (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neil @ #508: Too many prefixes and suffixes, but otherwise good (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neil @ #516: Very clever indeed. Well done (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neil @ #566: Very good. Imaginative. (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #545: This is very good indeed. (Apart from a minor gripe of which words it accepts for the Flamingo and Partridge groups) (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #534: I find it amusing that it accepts "BKSBEQ PBYYRTRF" for one of the groups, unavoidable I guess. I liked this grid a lot :) (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #554: the CRNPR CEVMREF group is a bit more specific than the others, so I would be happy to have QVCYBZNGF and related words accepted but didn't think of it when I made the list. Generally, it seems better to be overly generous when including the list of words. People don't mind false positives half as much as false negatives. (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #528: yes, I was experimenting with ways to make it easier whilst still having crossover between the groups, as most of the more interesting puzzles are rather hard. (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #507: Turns out this is very similar to #47, but slightly harder. (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #505: This one is certainly a failed experiment... not recommended :) (13 years, 11 months ago)

lostforwords @ #566: thanks! yes, it's annoying that the LNG at the end of "NVR STYCH L LNG" is missing some of the time.... perhaps PuzzGrid would be kind to delete the space between the L and LNG ?? and that might resolve the problem.. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Steven Jones @ #566: Really did enjoy this grid. Just a minor quibble, one of your squares was slightly hidden because of the name length but managed to get it in the end :) All in all 10/10 for originality and for trying something different. (13 years, 11 months ago)

MissyG @ #566: Very, very good! (13 years, 11 months ago)

just passin through @ #99: The New York group is incorrect. These are not "suburbs" of new york. Manhattan and Queens are 2 of the boroughs that comprise the city. Soho and Harlem (not Haarlem) are neighborhoods in Manhattan. So, all the names mentioned are part of the city proper. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #556: Nice! I liked the 'education' group. (13 years, 11 months ago)

tmcay @ #546: Excellent (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glum @ #505: Insane. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glum @ #508: Doesn't it break convention to have all the groups falling under the same 'type' of question? A good grid though... (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glum @ #521: I agree with routy, and also I think it's against convention to have two groups that follow the same convention. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glum @ #529: Wow! Really tough. Good grid! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glum @ #532: Alas, I think multiple Brands breaks the rules. Northern and Southern aren't really precise enough. In the answers you've written 'Joe' where I think it should be 'Jo'. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Glum @ #528: Some decent crossover, but often that's what gave it away, as the common clue was an answer to another group... (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #551: Thanks puzzGrid! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #554: Liked it. And especially well done on the keywords/answers as well, btw. I missed CRNPR CEVMREF because I tried the more narrow QVCYBZNGF -- that's fair as fair. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #553: 4/10... but kicking myself for not getting more, as this was all things I know! Sometimes we are blind to the truth. Well made - I had one of these connections in an earlier puzzle, so that may have made it easier :) (13 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #235: how much is a dosh?? (13 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #60: Yes, a good series of links but very poor on what words/terms are accepted (13 years, 11 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #551: Hi Asmism, Sorry, I have not had a chance to reply yet. I'll try to handle multi-line entries when possible I'm just really busy at the mo. Sorry! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #99: Poor descriptions (13 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #102: this is rubbish (13 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #103: Total waste of time (13 years, 11 months ago)

grim @ #549: No need to be sarky. It's gone now, so the powers that be must be aware (though one wonders if they plan to do anything about it.) (13 years, 11 months ago)

grim @ #551: Bad keywords, which is a shame. One must be permissive, but of course I accept that it's difficult. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Joe @ #101: This guy is a waste of everybody's time and energy (13 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #229: nice puzzle (13 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #226: golf and assassins not accepted as correct answers (13 years, 11 months ago)

SC @ #473: Huxtables! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #551: Yeah, the setting of the keyword for solving the groups is definitely the hardest part... I just do my best as well. I try and take advantage of the way it works well insofar as "wildcarding"/"masking". that part works great -- as long as you can think of the basic root word(s) you are looking for and supply the least amount of characters as will make it unique and distinct its wonderful... BTW, I have 2 more puzzles (one is dedicated to the recent long spam comment I so enjoyed, re: yet-another-despicable-good-for-nothing-bimbo-and-her-boring-sex-tape-yawn)... er... sorry... anyway I have 2 more puzzles but I need slightly more than 16 characters for a few of my "members". I've emailed PuzzGrid but, as yet, to no avail or reply. Does anyone know a more effective way to get in touch with PuzzGrid? Thanks. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Grady @ #541: Wow I thought I knew my cocktails but I guess not. (13 years, 11 months ago)

MissyG @ #550: Didn't accept REM for the Stipe/Berry etc. group (13 years, 11 months ago)

td @ #551: Sorry about the answers not being accepted, it's hard to think up all possible answers. I was really looking for something a bit more specific than "ORRE" (maybe unnecessarily so) although I really should have put in "YBFG" (I was busy putting in all the ways it could be said in the present tense). Things like this aren't easy to explain in terms of keywords, but hopefully people will be aware of this and give themselves points - the whole point is to spot the connections rather than guess what the setter wants you to write down! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #551: I got 7/10 (I couldn't figure out the link for the Saturnia group), and enjoyed getting it sorted out, but I had to award myself two points as it wouldn't accept my (correct) answers. Use commas to separate keywords. (13 years, 11 months ago)

tom @ #549: Really? (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #551: I put in "ORRE" : no go. I put in "YBFG" : no go either. (13 years, 11 months ago)

frank @ #220: nice (13 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #550: Use good, short keywords separated with commas so people don't have to type the exact phrase you're thinking of. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #548: Another fun 7/10! Couldn't recognize the sport connection, and I feel stupid because of it. That's something I ought to know!!! Very very nice! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #546: 7/10 - missed one connection, and it was the clever wordplay one, as usual. :) Great puzzle & great connections, though I'm not sure that it's as hard as the current rating reflects. (13 years, 11 months ago)

ocherdraco @ #549: This is a spam grid. (13 years, 11 months ago)

ocherdraco @ #160: They're measurements of liquid volume, not just liquid. Otherwise quite good. (13 years, 11 months ago)

ocherdraco @ #351: good news for the insane, is that you? (13 years, 11 months ago)

Margaret @ #473: I was strung up by the Huxtable/Cosby problem, too. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #548: Once again, very nice. Almost stumped me on SBBGONYY! Which would have really bothered me; I grew up on that stuff, but, damnit, I had to step back and shake myself before I got it. Thanks for the fun. (13 years, 11 months ago)

algsjd @ #540: Very good quiz - particurlarly liked the 'ry' category (13 years, 11 months ago)

algsjd @ #547: Clearly spam - please remove! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #546: Good one for sure! I appreciate the crossovers! I did however miss getting credit for FRPBAQ because I tried the shorthand (~15~)AQ. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #545: I like the categories to be solved after the sorting... I think these would be good for the first 2 games of OC; but as for a grid/board, I don't really like these kinds where the whole board is full of names or birds or colors or whatever. You can't get a foothold. Too many possibilities. For instance, I knew IREOF but the permutations were exhaustive... Still, I appreciate your groupings. Well done. I think it'd be great if we could have our PuzzGrid write some app to simulate the first rounds. And the missing vowels too! ;) (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #543: Nice! As an American I thought I knew something about PEVPXRG ... but apparently I forgot to learn the CBFVGVBAF ... :) So now I know a bit more, thanks. Also, didn't get the QLYNA one and I'm pissed at myself. And you. Fiendish! (13 years, 11 months ago)

td @ #546: (oops, the 9/10 in my previous comment should be 7/10 of course!) (13 years, 11 months ago)

td @ #546: 9/10 Very good. At first I couldn't see anything, but then things slowly started falling into place (exactly as it should be!) (13 years, 11 months ago)

Mike @ #274: "scales" should also be accepted for DO ME SO LA (13 years, 11 months ago)

durkzilla @ #544: I agree with Wolfdog - far too many possible valid combos and some really obscure groupings (13 years, 11 months ago)

durkzilla @ #544: (13 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #543: 5/10 - good, and certainly had me exploring every possible grouping for 'five'. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #541: Yeah... "King of Spain" is an obscure Canadian rock song (google with "Moxy Fruvious" for it to pop up - no links allowed here) -I picked it instead of Prussia to keep consistent with titles for that one. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #544: Requires reading the designer's mind. My solution: 1,5,9,13 (Congruent to 1, mod 4); 2,6,10,14 (congruent to 2, mod 4); 3,7,11,5 (congruent to 3, mod 4); and 4,8,12,16 (congruent to 0, mod 4). Even given your groups, many alternate explanations are possible (for ex., "divisors of 10"). (13 years, 11 months ago)

sathyajitkk @ #542: spam (13 years, 11 months ago)

Matt @ #45: This game is pretty good, but when asked to put in the link, it can be too specific, for example "Sounds" is incorrect, yet "Sound" is correct. (13 years, 11 months ago)

ePeterso2 @ #520: Figured out all the groups. Couldn't find the connection for the Latin prefixes. Good stuff. (13 years, 11 months ago)

ePeterso2 @ #541: I got the Dodgers link but couldn't find the rest. I've never heard of any of the drinks but the Manhattan. And I thought "King of Spain" was the weakest link in comparison to the others in the group. Good stuff ... I'm just not smarterer enough. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #542: Random nonsense - don't waste your time. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #540: 6.5/10 I'm giving myself 1/2 a point for just going with characters out of Greek mythology - your answer is clearly better, though :) You know which one I couldn't identify! I can't rank this hard, though, because I got the tiles lined up in 25 seconds. Solid work, though - liked it a lot! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #218: Ally, and everybody else for that matter, Speaking of the official site... do puzzles 26-30 (I'm guessing right now really, but right around there) not work for you too? Because they don't work for me. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ally @ #218: I notice wall number #52 on the official BBC Only Connect site also has the snooker table group. Who copied who???? (13 years, 11 months ago)

londinius @ #244: Bit samey - all the connections are names (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #535: Properly asasmism 8) : Neville, yes this was a difficult one, maybe "harder" than hard, but I honestly think the shell commands might show up on OC proper. But I could be wrong. I tried to chose some commonly used ones and especially to include 'Ping' which I thought would be familiar to many and, also, a unique and particular clue as to the group. The B one, as I've said, is one I like (and seeing you say 'nigh' I am inspired again! :) ) but, yes, that group probably does push the puzzle into Fiendish. I'll keep trying to find a balance between self-indulgence and fair-play. Thanks for the critique. And keep yours coming too; I've enjoyed those as well. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #532: 3/10 - but properly, it should've given me five for 'name' and 'line.' Not sure why it didn't take. Agree on the Brand point - though I picked the right two, apparently, on my first go. Watching QI has paid off :) Here in the US, we don't say "Northern America" or "Southern America" - just North or South. I see how Northern means something slightly different, but I never hear it used - sorry to disappoint on that front. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #537: 3/10 It didn't take Daylight Saving Time... so really 4/10. Pretty good - didn't know two of those from Adam - not hard to ferret out those I did know, though. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ross Quinn @ #532: Same as below. The point is to have many that can fit into a few groups but that was just ridiculous. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Sharry @ #473: agree w/ Anne. The answer for the cosby one should either be "Characters on the Cosby Show" OR "Members of The Huxtable Family" (or simply, "The Huxtables"). NOT "Members of the Cosby Family". (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #531: grim, which link? As we have no built-in "spoiler" tagging, you can use the following: www.faqintosh.com/risorse/en/othutil/webapps/rot13/ to encode a reply if you will. Also was it that I'd failed to put in a good/possible solve keyword...or that the relationship itself is unclear even upon reveal? Thanks. (13 years, 11 months ago)

Ryan @ #536: I'm sorry but these are just way too random/arbitrary. Aside from the GRAAVF one, they are probably very easily crossmix-able... (13 years, 11 months ago)

Neville @ #535: 4/10 - Two of these I didn't much care for - shell commands & add a B. First is a bit out of most people's ken, I think. Second is nigh impossible to see. But I liked the other two a bunch, and I thought the decoy work was right well played. Keep it up, please! (13 years, 11 months ago)

Steven Jones @ #532: Like Frank said, how can you have three Brands? It's almost impossible to do :S (13 years, 11 months ago)

Asmism @ #535: Ha! Thanks! :) Glad you enjoyed it because I have enjoyed many of yours, Wolfdog. The 'plum' one is actually one of my favorite parts of the puzzle*. The only thing is those kinds of categories are impossible to set up the what should be the "main" "keyword" for... *My favorite part is the category that is hidden (one word in each of the "official and manifest" categories). ;) (13 years, 12 months ago)

Wolfdog @ #535: Good except for one category ('plum') which struck me as a bit weak. (13 years, 12 months ago)

Ryan @ #519: You definitely create puzzles in the true spirit of Only Connect (rather than, say, The $????... Pyramid ;) ); better than most! for sure! I liked this one with the exception of one group (the one which included Warehouse) which was a bit of a stretch/shoehorning/or-maybe-just-too-clever-for-me?... :) (14 years ago)

Gabby @ #498: Nicely done. (14 years ago)

Gabby @ #517: A couple of thoughts here: * Having two musical categories puts people who aren't strong on their musical knowledge at a distinct disadvantage; you may wish to avoid using two categories in the same subject area for your next one. * All entries in a category should ideally be either equally familiar or inferable; one has to know a disproportionate amount about at one of your musical categories to identify all four members except by elimination.

Tom @ #515: Nice one (14 years ago)

frank @ #61: great puzzle - my favourite so far (14 years ago)

frank @ #58: 10/10 (without an answer for Manhattan, etc and Christmas etc). I did know Manhattan but clicked the mouse before I'd entered it. (14 years ago)

frank @ #57: 10/10 (and I didn't enter an answer for Potemkin et al). (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #415: I /still/ live in Texas so I got that set easily too. But it's akin to the way many of the UK-centric (or other-centric) groups play, I think: keeps me from voting 5 for quality even if I may know the set... (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #410: Words that start with "B"? Word of one syllable? No, not brilliant. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #406: Wasn't even frustrating -- just obnoxious. I'd almost rather another puzzle from a ~drunken~ college student... at least those are occasionally (no they're not, really) amusing. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #405: Nice! I'll never forgive you for stumping me with FRVASRYQ though; I knew it was going to be a good one but just could not get it. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #517: 5/10 (musical ignorance did me in). Nice puzzle! (14 years ago)

Nobody @ #274: Thought it was easy until I couldn\'t figure out the last connection. Airline codes! Very clever. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #400: #400! Good stuff... I'll have trust you, though, on the TDF. Actually I'll go look it up, it seems interesting and good to know. As for the one with "Pond", I certainly wouldn't know those, but I imagine many would. So maybe fair enough, but probably a little too esoteric. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #392: Still. Your puzzles are getting better. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #275: All valid criticisms, even though I got the "y" group sorted (and not as the leftover)... I did want to give credit for accepting "LOTR" as a keyword, which is well done, though I do agree "Tolkien" should work as well. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #274: Quality? A 5! Clever, working and fun! (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #273: Nice. Good puzzle. Good keywords, as far as I could tell. So, really...very nice! (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #272: Gave this one a 4, quality-wise. Only let down a bit by the keywords. I think a good practice would be for those groups that are synonymical(?), you should include each of the said synonyms as keywords; it only makes sense, eh? (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #271: Yeah... pretty good. But along with the comment below (which isn't pedantic at all)...it's "author" not "autor" (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #263: Obtuse, purely obtuse. (14 years ago)

Tom @ #493: Good one! Thanks (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #491: Clever puzzle. I found it interesting (and fun) that there was one item in each set for which I didn't know the right number. (14 years ago)

durkzilla @ #492: Adding the hyphen before the common suffixes in two of the groups breaks the second half of the game. I got them both but scored incorrect as not a match. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #488: "Sleeping policemen" is a new term for me--guess I need to watch more BBC America :-) (14 years ago)

Neville @ #484: Rossi - crossover, by itself, is typically great. You want a puzzle (especially a tricky one) to have items that could fit in multiple categories. However, there needs to be one unique solution. That is, there should be only one way to sort the 16 tiles into four bins of four. In this case, the Screwdriver and Gimlet tiles can be swapped, as they each fit both the Tools and Drinks bins. In general, you don't want a chain of items that can all be sswitched to the next one. For example, if tile 1 fits in bins A and B, 2 in B and C, and 3 in C and A, then we have an issue, because there are two solutions - one with 1 in A, and the other with 1 in B. When it comes down to logic, it's fun. When it's merely guessing (especially if you're down to 2 bins remaining), it's hardly fun at all, as you feel like you're missing something. (14 years ago)

Rossi @ #481: Better. Unbalanced though, but some crossover kept it good, and some elements that I did not know, and had to make educated guesses about. You suck at scrabble. (14 years ago)

Rossi @ #484: The crossover between tools and drinks, with screwdriver, was good, if intentional. Although now that I am reading others comments, it was apparently annoying. I liked it because it made an otherwise simple puzzle somewhat more difficult. I guess same with hammer, as a tool or olympic event. What would make this a "puzzle" if there weren't crossover? Obviously accuracy is good, but when my brain is in solve puzzle mode, it fills in the blanks, I did not even notice the discus misspell, because my brain was already looking for olympic events. (14 years ago)

Mick H @ #488: Yeah, it really gives you confidence when the setter can't even spell psychiatrist. (14 years ago)

ronpadz @ #484: If only I could edit my grid. I did not realize that gimlet was also a tool, I clearly misspelled 'discus' and I did not know about the capitalization rule. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #484: 4 things: 1. Discus has only 2 Ss. 2. Words should be capitalized per site admin's request 3. Ditto Sackman - Gimlet and Screwdriver are swappable. I believe that Hammer is safe. This 'breaks' the game. 4. Not a terrible effort! I enjoyed it as an easy puzzle :) (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #484: There are too many words that can be substituted into other categories. A screwdriver is both a tool and a drink. Hammer, which I guess is supposed to be hammer throw, is both an olympic event and a tool. Also, a gimlet is both a drink and a type of tool. So these three could have been switched around so that all of the categories still had correct answers while having a completely different set of answers. (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #481: Excellent 10/10 (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #474: 7/10 Roger Rabbit was definitely a bit too difficult to get. Also, I got Uncle Jesse, but from Full House rather than the Dukes of Hazard. (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #473: Huxtable (14 years ago)

Alex @ #444: Agreed, not fiendish, and you don't get a point for the actual title on the Kittens one. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #480: Nice, but work on keywords (e.g., "satellite" was rejected) (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #477: Nice idea. Work on connection keywords and avoid duplicating an answer in the grid. (14 years ago)

Pablo @ #99: Bizarre answers! (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #186: Excellent puzzle! (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #488: Damnit, the _first thing_ that came into my head when this came up was "I'd better not mention the war, haha". And then I didn't recognize that category. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #152: Great! The first one to have a group of a certain type which I have been anticipating. Well done. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #97: I disagree with "rather boring". But I do think it "rather" strange to find such criticism here because there are many other puzzles I've encountered (working my way from #1 forward) that might deserve that kind of criticism if one were bent on shouting! a purely negative comment. (14 years ago)

Jimmifer @ #451: To be fair, Dr Who is extremely popular and well known in the UK. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #47: You should add notes; cuz that's what I tried and it was rejected. Got it back tho, as I guessed wildly at (rot13) "In, Cn, Tn, Zn" with "Ehffvna"... and got a "correct!" ;D (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #34: Good stuff! I've just found this site today and am working thru from #1->... and, while there have been some good ones so far, all of yours have all the elements working. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #30: Why are some of the puzzles (eg. #2) missing where this (and the other from this "author") remain? I'm not for deleting any of them, but if this remains I can't imagine what was wrong with the others... I mean let the ratings system work? Or is it something else. Curious. (14 years ago)

Ryan @ #14: Agree with comments. But understand that the "keywording" of links is probably the most difficult part of creating these puzzles. So thanks to all puzzle-ers! The better, the better, of course -- in the meantime we can all point the particulars to be fixed (or not) out for future puzzle-ees and credit ourselves as we see fit for the scores we think we deserve.

Wolfdog @ #469: I liked this one a lot, initially looked impossible, but it sorted itself surprisingly quickly. However, I think you put a comma at the end of your keywords in most of the categories - making a "blank" keyword - which will match any input. So when I put in 'language' for the Estonia group (thinking "countries with a non-indo-european language", which would be wrong, actually), it accepted it. (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #253: Or actually thinking about it, your nemesis may have just copied your post over and over so ignore my last if you didn't post multiple times. (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #253: Erm.. I have not deleted any grids made by Dagenhampstead! A few may have been downvoted (these can be shown by changing "good" quality in the choices to lower. I apologise for the homophobic messages which I am trying to delete as fast as they come but failing. I'll try to get passwords implemented fairly soon, which is a great dissapointment. But I'm pretty busy at the moment. If you still feel that they've disappeared let me know the numbers and I'll check the database. Please drop me a line whenever you see a message that needs deleting. I have no wish to alienate any users and am very grateful for all the grids you have submitted. (14 years ago)

Tom Brady @ #462: Yea, wasn't sure how this would work out...my last puzzle was pretty easy so this makes up for it I guess! (14 years ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #253: I have been offended by the increasingly homophobic messages that have been written on this wall (under my name), but not enough for me to stop compiling and enjoying the games. But what is the point of me spending my time devising them, only to have them deleted. I assume that Puzzgrid is the only person who could delete my games (whilst deciding not to delete horrible comments.) So, Puzzgrid, as the person behind this hate campaign, may I ask why?

Wolfdog @ #466: 7/10 on this one - I couldn't get the OT connection. Maybe the first time I've outscored Neville (on a grid I didn't write myself) (14 years ago)

Neville @ #466: 4/10 - kept wanting 'Golden' instead of 'New.' I'd be kicking myself over Oregon Trail if I hadn't said "Those are things that pioneers might use. Maybe." I liked it, despite my failure. Mark - New Coke was a terrible version of Coca Cola that came out in the 1980s. It was hated by all. Read more at Wikipedia - which I can't link to on here. (14 years ago)

Mark @ #69: Never heard of 3 of the Hiltons, and wouldn't know what the other looked like. (14 years ago)

Mark @ #466: New coke? Oregon trail? (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #463: Maybe some of those are too tenuous; in any case, you definitely just have to have the right cultural reference points. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #463: 0/10 This was all beyond me! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #465: 10/10 - Fell into place right quickly, but was a fun change where everything looked alike! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #464: 6/10 - Billy Joel was a freebie, but it took me forever to tease out which four were right for Aristophanes. Nice one! (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #453: Nice puzzle. I wish "horse" had been a keyword (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #452: 7/10 (with the "good night" boo-boo). Great grid! (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #457: 3/10. I got distracted trying to find "things that end with 'league'" after decided Cactus League and Justice League in a category together. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #462: 3/10 Not sure how much I care for two categories of "words containing ____", but I think having one of them adds a bit of lateral thinking here. Good accessible puzzle, despite my difficulty with it! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #460: Spam/nonsense. Don't bother. (14 years ago)

Debbie @ #413: Evil in grid form. (14 years ago)

Stacy @ #456: Haha gimme a chance Neville, I'm still trooping through the 400+ grids! Watch this space hun..... (14 years ago)

Neville @ #456: Yes, I'll give them credit for the concept - Only Connect is a wonderful show & I wish we had it over here! I haven't seen any puzzles by you, Stacy - have you made any yet that I've overlooked? (14 years ago)

Neville @ #458: As someone from the US, I'll be honest - the fact that there even was a Dungeons & Dragons TV series was out of my ken! I was taking Uni as University the whole time :) Still, a great grid - 4/10 for me. (14 years ago)

Stacy @ #456: Aww thanks sweetie! I agree. Some of the British 'Grid's' are lost on me (not all but a few) but to be fair they did invent or inspire this site.....kudos puzzgrid (and Only Connect!) And again Neville, I hate and love you at the same time, you're a FIEND!! (14 years ago)

Debbie @ #425: I'm from the wrong part of the world to get any of these. (14 years ago)

Debbie @ #431: Could really do with some checking on alternative structures of the answers. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #456: Good luck with your studies, Stacy. I think a lot of what's on here is harder than what I studied at Washington & Lee University - especially the ones by people outside the USA. A lot of those British phrases and references are completely foreign to me! I'm working on one more puzzle for tonight right now - it might be on the easier side, as I'm tired too :) (14 years ago)

Debbie @ #367: I'd add another comment about Bartleby the Scrivener, but I would prefer not to :) (14 years ago)

Sam @ #308: Weirdo! Get off this site! (14 years ago)

Stacy @ #456: I actually stumbled across this site randomly (I hate that word but I'm tired at this moment in time so don't be too harsh!) Anyway, I'm an addict now and can't get enough! I'm studying at The University of Maine.....but it's nothing compared to this site! :) (14 years ago)

Neville @ #414: Thanks, Tennessee Ted and Sandybaby! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #456: Stacy - thank you so much! Glad you've enjoyed my puzzles, and I hope to provide you with a lot more fun. For what it's worth, I just graduated from university myself. :) (14 years ago)

Stacy @ #456: Your links are devious.....if that's the correct term? Can't help but rate it 5 stars. I have to do your puzzles at least twice. You've beaten this student many a time. A big Well Done! Stacy (14 years ago)

dino @ #435: Btw how do you come up with so many great puzzles? You're an absolute machine mate! Keep 'em coming! (14 years ago)

dino @ #435: Neville, your comment made me and the missus 'laugh out loud' so to speak! Brilliant, first class! We both love your grids btw... gets the ol' grey matter going! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #435: 4/10 - very nice grid! Suspected one of the connections I missed out on in both rounds. Bugger. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #452: joon - you and a friend of mine had the same problem. That never crossed my mind. Clearly I need to work on accepting more answers. If I could revise, I would. Have the point - and a bonus apology point! (14 years ago)

Robbie Fowler's Left Leg @ #435: You dirty bugger lol (14 years ago)

synecdoche @ #450: Great. Went for the Mad Men theme right away, but got it in the end. (14 years ago)

joon @ #452: "good night" isn't good enough for "goodnight"? (14 years ago)

Mark Draper @ #452: Brilliant! (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #450: Very nice grid, and I am very glad you put in a large pile of keywords, since I rambled on for a bit on the Chandler group but still got a point. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #433: 3/10 - very tricky! Nice one. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #451: 7/10 - didn't know the pop culture connection, but that's okay! Very nice grid with a few trick matches thrown in - I like it! (14 years ago)

Eddy @ #446: CRAP! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #445: Nice & easy - thumbs up! (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #401: Didn't know the drummers, but still gave this a 5 for quality. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #450: Another 10/10 that put up a struggle. Didn't fall for Friends - broke through with the jobs. Nice work, tmcay. Looking forward to your next one! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #442: 10/10 - but not that easy! Excellent puzzle, tmcay! Lions came quickly; Popes caused a slowdown until I saw cowboys with 1:30 left. Very nice. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #380: Bravo! (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #379: "Sky" seems a weak choice for "Night ___". Otherwise, good grid (14 years ago)

frank @ #444: good grid not exactly fiendish though (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #438: Much enjoyed! (14 years ago)

Jeena @ #395: Good one! Fun! (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #374: Nice, simple puzzle. (14 years ago)

Quizzle @ #408: The Roman numerals completely confused me. Very cleverly done. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #370: Nice overlapping! I retrieved Cayenne as a South American colonial capital from the memory of a geography class I must have taken 30 years ago. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #368: A quick solve for me, due to some lucky insights, but still well-constructed and enjoyable. (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #440: Nice puzzle. I guess I need to study up on Spader films and UK Gladiators :-) (14 years ago)

tmcay @ #436: Too many fitb categories for my taste, but well constructed. Nice job, Master Neville. (14 years ago)

frank @ #437: me neither well done! (14 years ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #437: Didn't get one. Top grid! (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #436: If you had me stood up at the podium and asked me where West Island was, I don't know that I could have pulled it off. But I had thought I had come across it somewhere, and with Rhode and North and South "obviously" being islands.... (14 years ago)

Blake @ #436: I live in the 'West Island' Montreal! Great puzzles Neville! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #436: I've never heard of a West Island, though as sure as I sit here, Wikipedia confirms it. TGIF - The Game is Flawed. 'Islands' never even crossed my mind. I do think that 'states' is a better known answer, but I can't deny you the point on this one. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #436: I've never heard of a West Island, though as sure as I sit here, Wikipedia confirms it. TGIF - The Game is Flawed. 'Islands' never even crossed my mind. I do think that 'states' is a better known answer, but I can't deny you the point on this one. (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #436: And what's wrong with "____ island"? (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #415: Only 2/10 :( (14 years ago)

Sackman @ #436: 10/10!!!! Not sure I would have figured out the states category if it weren't for "Rhode" (14 years ago)

Fat Al @ #434: Another cracking grid Brady! I rated it 5 (Fiendish) (14 years ago)

Mark @ #186: Fly paper and fly wheel? (14 years ago)

Mark @ #307: Done about 60 of these grids, this is the best - one of my few 10/10s. (14 years ago)

Tennessee Ted @ #434: 5/5 Excellant, I only got the Basketball link. The Baseball link was extremely fiendish but very well done. One of the best grids I've done so far. (14 years ago)

Tom Brady @ #434: I thought two of these categories were relatively easy, so I tried to make one of them tough - looking at it now maybe it's too tough (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #434: one very, very sneaky category there! (14 years ago)

Bob @ #31: Rachel Riley is co-host with Jeff Stelling. (14 years ago)

Mark @ #31: Rachel - Countdown? (14 years ago)

Mark @ #13: A few too many red herrings to make it more luck than skill (14 years ago)

Delilahcat @ #432: Yep, didn't accept 'cheers', 'card games' or 'geographical names for hills'. (14 years ago)

Tennessee Ted @ #433: I rate it as 4 stars. (14 years ago)

Tennessee Ted @ #410: Brilliant! (14 years ago)

Tennessee Ted @ #427: Quite hard (14 years ago)

Tennessee Ted @ #414: Nice puzzle dude! (14 years ago)

LA @ #433: Nice grid (14 years ago)

Old Skool @ #387: Well put together grid, enjoyed that. (14 years ago)

Old Skool @ #374: Really liked this grid. The difficulty level and topics were fair but still tricky at the same time. Well done! (14 years ago)

Snoopes @ #299: Loved this one although found it very easy. Father Ted was a charater in a British sit com with the same name. (14 years ago)

Snoopes @ #411: Robson Green is a famous British actor although hasn't done much for quite sometime! (14 years ago)

synecdoche @ #432: Didn't accept "cheers" for the one category. I tried "geographical feature" for the other which might have been to vague but I didn't know how else to express the link. (14 years ago)

the bear has landed @ #103: i like pink turtles (14 years ago)

Neville @ #415: Jonah, you just made my day - thank you :) I'll come up with another puzz or two tonight. FWIW, I also used to live in Texas :D (14 years ago)

dino @ #104: crazy grid! (14 years ago)

LA @ #30: Not worth your time. (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #428: Nice, not too hard, but it takes a moment to get it sorted. 7/10, but I think my answer of 'nethack' is valid for the character classes. (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #222: Clever! (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #225: Think the term 'battleship' for Cardiff etc is wrong. Battleships are heavily armoured with significant fire power: Galahad was a landing ship and the various Sheffield in service have either been a destroyer, frigate or light cruiser, none of which would be considered a 'battleship'. 'Warship' should be the only term to cover these vessels, but this is not accepted as an answer. (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #226: Bit harsh accepting golfing and not golf! (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #231: Nice one - very clever! (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #234: Soory I found this one a bit tiresome! (14 years ago)

MIssyG @ #410: Great grid - found it really difficult, although it should have been easy when I saw the answers! More please! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #418: 4/10 Geometry vertices were foreign to me - and I just majored in mathematics! I should probably be ashamed, but I have no dignity anyway :) MooN also escaped me. Tricky stuff! (14 years ago)

Fat Al @ #425: Your guys were preseason favs to win it. Would make a classic SB if we were to meet! Back to the subject of the grids and to repeat my earlier comment... let's have some more Brady! Really enjoying your grids, very clever. (14 years ago)

Sven @ #427: you're grids rock man! (14 years ago)

Tom Brady @ #424: Sorry I need to get better at that...new at this! (14 years ago)

Tom Brady @ #425: Haha yea huge Pats fan...maybe we'll meet in the super bowl. Glad you like the grids! (14 years ago)

Tom Brady @ #427: sorry I need to get better at choosing the words to accept - I'm glad you liked it! (14 years ago)

Jonah @ #415: Ps I used to live in Texas so got that link straight away. Was still tricky as hell though. Thumbs up! (14 years ago)

Jonah @ #415: More please, Neville. Really enjoyed trying to crack this one! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #422: Nice easy puzzle - 22s for a perfect score. It's hard to make an easy puzzle that's not obvious, and I think you succeeded! :) (14 years ago)

Stevo @ #427: Quality grid Brady (14 years ago)

Neville @ #427: 10/10 (Though it didn't accept one of my answers - 'show.' Curious why you wouldn't take that :/ ) Nice puzzle - fell for the Abbott & Costello bluff! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #426: 7/10 Very nice - though I could not get the baseball connection at the end. (14 years ago)

Dave Bill @ #404: 'Religious Symbols' is incorrect? (14 years ago)

Fat Al @ #425: Loving your grids TB, let's have some more! Btw Patriots fan I take it? Packers for the SB!! (14 years ago)

Fat Al @ #411: Same question as 'USA! USA!' Who is Robson Green? Is he/she a famous British actor? (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #426: Lost on me for cultural reasons but I'm sure lots do the same the other direction. (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #426: I had to scrap my aesthetically pleasing plan in order to come up with something solvable and not stupid. Hopefully it is worth it. (14 years ago)

Pete @ #420: like it (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #424: Starting to repeat yourself so soon? (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #423: Cute trick. Even suspecting what the last two were going to be, somehow I couldn't get them around. (14 years ago)

USA! USA! @ #411: Who the hell is Robson Green?? (14 years ago)

Sandybaby @ #414: Challenging (14 years ago)

Max @ #424: I feel fiendish is a bit much, im not very good at these things but i got this straight away, almost. (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #416: One word fitting in multiple categories is fine, and indeed part of the point. But if two can be interchanged then the puzzle has no fair solution. (14 years ago)

Jeffrey44 @ #424: The bowls group didn't accept 'bowl' as a correct answer. That is a bit harsh. (14 years ago)

synecdoche @ #416: I didn't know that made it flawed. I've played many puzzles where one of the words works in multiple categories. (14 years ago)

Tom Brady @ #420: meant to make it say medium or hard...whoops (14 years ago)

Lanny @ #164: A fun one to do. (14 years ago)

Friz @ #413: Drat! I thought I had the Cluedo one, but didn't realise what the victim's name was. Excellent grid. (14 years ago)

Friz @ #415: Excellent grid, sir. Managed to get two connections. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #415: puzzGrid, you are my hero :) (14 years ago)

Scootleboot @ #102: Please have a go at my grids. I think they're Fiendish! I am the one and only scooootleboooot! (14 years ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #410: I really struggled immensely with this grid x (14 years ago)

Neville @ #416: It was nice and easy, but flawed, I'm afraid. Wood and wool are both in Settlers, and they're both on the traditional anniversary gift list. it can go either way no unique solution for this puzz. Very nice effort otherwise! (14 years ago)

synecdoche @ #416: Oops, forgot to change the difficulty level! I meant to rate it a medium. (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #415: Fixed. Magic. (14 years ago)

Dave @ #413: great. I was done in by international differencesin every North American Clue game I've played, the victim is "Mr. Boddy." (14 years ago)

Neville @ #415: 'Gant' should read 'Grant.' Don't know how I missed that twice! My apologies, dear player. (14 years ago)

Dmitry @ #410: Rhymes, alliterations etc. What's with your imagination, Mr. Creator?! (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #414: Figured the last set out one life too late. Got the connection points for them anyway, so I guess that's okay. (14 years ago)

Stevo @ #387: Was going off on the gameshow route for a good while... Big Brother, Survivor, Dog Eat Dog etc. Enjoyed it though. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #411: Didn't accept 'animal movies/films' (14 years ago)

Friz @ #387: I got Zero! But kicked myself when seeing the answers. Excellent. (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #409: Defective verbs and modal (or auxiliary, if you prefer) verbs aren't quite the same thing. The ones listed are both, though. (14 years ago)

The Dude @ #410: One of those grids that baffle you but when you see the answers you kick yourself for not getting it. Really well put together grid, I tip my hat to you! (14 years ago)

Sam @ #394: Icarus did fly too close to the sun, but did also fall to his death into the sea. The Icarian sea as it is now known, after him. Tbh that is a bit sneaky, but still accurate. (14 years ago)

Neville @ #410: 7/10... but I put 'start with B' and it did not accept, so I'll award myself a spot on 10/10 :) Q.uite I.nteresting word-construction grid - nice decoys with dogs baseball, and terms of endearment (not sure how many of those were intentional!) (14 years ago)

Neville @ #409: 6/10. In my day, we called them auxiliary verbs, so I'll award myself a point for that to give me 7. St. George's was interesting trivia - didn't know that! But, I also hadn't heard of two of those things (bet you can guess :) Very nice grid! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #408: Pretty good and kinda tricky- didn't give me credit for 'bear', though. (14 years ago)

Darguz @ #403: Fun! (14 years ago)

Gertie @ #408: Not easy - difficult. Very good (14 years ago)

Neville @ #406: Scored 1/10 - but should have been given another point for 'review' in the second round. Sorry, but I think this puzzle has no mass appeal. It's a shame that there aren't categories on this site so that you can put esoteric stuff like this in one bin. I just don't think this qualifies as general knowledge. Didn't find this fun or challenging - just frustrating. (14 years ago)

FlowerPower @ #376: Completed it in the last 10 seconds. Amazing! (14 years ago)

maud @ #104: I don't like your grids they smell. I rate them POOR! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #404: Enjoyed this! Immediately fell for the Angel bluff - Damn you, KimboSlice! (14 years ago)

Neville @ #347: Hi GLS, It should be Martin Luther King, Jr. and George H. W. Bush - depending on where they come up, it changes how much you can see. I had input them that way, but there is some unspecified character limit. I wrote the admin, and he/she fixed it. Thanks for your vigilance, as well as the benevolent creator's! :) (14 years ago)

Stevo @ #401: Nice grid (14 years ago)

sista soul @ #401: this is a good one!! (14 years ago)

nitpicker @ #402: Naughty, naughty! (14 years ago)

Darguz @ #398: Very specialized, not for general public. Puzzles like this are rather pointless except for a specific group. (14 years ago)

Joe @ #397: For software testers - might be less obvious to others (14 years ago)

Jeffrey44 @ #395: I like it, but you used Revlon twice. I'm surprised the site doesn't pick this up and make you change it before you submit it actually. (14 years ago)

MissyG @ #392: A bit too easy - did that one in 16 seconds! (14 years ago)

San Jose? @ #265: Isn't spelled with a J? (14 years ago)

Zetland @ #394: Very clever in terms of red herrings. I thought there must have been a 'Hallelujah' thread, since we had Jeff Buckley, Alexandra Burke and Leonard Cohen, so I spent most of my time searching for that. Icarus did not drown though, did he? He flew too close to the Sun and fell to his death (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #384: Wow.. I deleted this because I just played #379 and realised I must have subconsciously copied a group from it! (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #246: Good 'un! (14 years ago)

Sam @ #394: Hello, i made this grid and the two Ophelias is a mistake. The second Ophelia should be Jeff Buckley. JEFF BUCKLEY (14 years ago)

ben murphy @ #394: Crap. (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #394: Two Ophelias is gonna cause problems (14 years ago)

timmay @ #390: culturally unable to respond? lame. (14 years ago)

parliboy @ #390: I don't think there'd be an objection if they weren't all songs. But these grids are much better when the topics are more generalized. (14 years ago)

parliboy @ #389: Enjoyed the grid, though this is one of those grids where difficulty is based entirely on knowledge. Would have liked to have seen more red herrings. The collective nouns threw me off a bit, since three of them are specifically animal collectives. Still, fun stuff for a morning quickie. (14 years ago)

parliboy @ #375: I could either: a) claim stupidity by saying that I wrote this grid at 2 a.m., or b) assert a fervent belief that Michael Jackson is sitting next to Elvis sharing some pie at a diner in Alabama. Apologies, regardless. (14 years ago)

St Fu @ #390: There should be a way to know that I'm culturally unable to respond to this grid. (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #332: Very clever! (14 years ago)

frank @ #388: nice grid (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #384: Hmm.. whoops, it accepts other stuff too but I may sneakily change it. (14 years ago)

MissyG @ #388: Great grid and explations. (14 years ago)

Dagenhampstead @ #387: Nice grid (14 years ago)

Shippers50 @ #378: Hmm..couple of quibbles - Nirvana were essentially a three piece (Pat Smear was essentially only a touring member) and Chris should really be Krist (Novoselic) - how about Pixies instead? (Frank, Kim, Joey and David). Also when I typed in 'Doors' it came up incorrect - little latitude needed! (14 years ago)

Alex @ #391: I thought I said poets for the Whitman group. I must have missed the word famous. (14 years ago)

Alex @ #387: Clearly I am retarded. I am ashamed to call myself a W&L student. (14 years ago)

misha @ #384: One of the clues is also the name of the category? Not so great. (14 years ago)

caknuck @ #381: or "parties". Should have used "part" as the connection to cover all of the bases (14 years ago)

ST Fu @ #376: I don't know my pokemon! (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #386: Some nice indirection and a good aha. (14 years ago)

Dave @ #275: I also wanted to point out that Y is a vowel in these casesI put "y as vowel" as the link, in fact. Also, I put "Tolkien" as the link between elf, man, dwarf, and ent and felt that it should have counted, but oh well. (14 years ago)

Dave @ #387: Didn't beat this one but still enjoyed it. (14 years ago)

ST Fu @ #373: Cymbolic! (14 years ago)

Dave @ #381: Seems like "party" should work for one. (14 years ago)

ST Fu @ #280: Strings marked wrong. Also reed marked wrong. (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #1: Hiya Adam, Glad you like the site. I have considered it before. I think it might be pushing the BBC's legal department a bit far and also maybe a bit harder to score, so I suspect I won't but thanks for the suggestion. puzz (14 years ago)

Adam Senior @ #1: Hi Puzzgrid. Love the website but was just wondering, is there a chance you could develop any of the other rounds into a site like this? I imagine it would be very difficult to implement but here's hoping! (14 years ago)

green @ #373: Rubbish, who care's about Jazz (14 years ago)

Mrsdanvers @ #38: "Sports areas" wasn't accepted for "Terms for areas in which sports are played" ! (14 years ago)

Mrsdanvers @ #41: "Wives of US presidents" not accepted for "US First Ladies" ! (14 years ago)

Kev @ #380: Some cracking grids Wolfdog. Keep 'em coming! (14 years ago)

Rios @ #30: 0/5 (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #336: Totally logical, irrefutable, fair and incredibly hard. Hurrah! (14 years ago)

anon @ #379: Arse (14 years ago)

Egrish Majah @ #367: Bartleby was a Melville character, not Dickens (14 years ago)

Benny @ #376: It's a boot, not a shoe, surely? :) (14 years ago)

Zetland @ #376: Excellent grid. Loved the Monopoly question (14 years ago)

Zetland @ #378: I've grown up listening to the Sex Pistols and R.E.M. but I only got one of the two. Just using first names might be a bit too difficult. Nice idea though (14 years ago)

Zetland @ #375: Great grid. But Michael Jackson is alive...? (14 years ago)

Smale @ #174: Not sure that Gate is to castle as the other terms are to castle. ALso Strangeways works, but Safeways doesn't. (14 years ago)

Zetland @ #377: Very good grid (14 years ago)

Smale @ #280: French horn is usually included in the orchestral woodwind section, even though it's made of brass (14 years ago)

pp @ #101: LOL (14 years ago)

Eddie @ #367: Bartleby is not a major character of Dickens, if a character at all. And certainly not as well-known as the other three. (14 years ago)

Mick @ #4: Even-toed ungulates? That's a bit much, they are all animals! (14 years ago)

Stars And Stripes @ #359: Really enjoyed that (14 years ago)

Jim @ #373: Lame. Who but a drummer would know that? (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #370: capital of French Guiana. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayenne (14 years ago)

Delilahcat @ #370: Cayenne isn't a capital city (14 years ago)

puzzGrid @ #170: I guess so, I have :) (14 years ago)

Carol @ #367: Bartleby is a very well-known Melville character, as mentioned. I finally solved the puzzle by shrugging and figuring, "Maybe there's a character named Bartleby in some Dickens novel? Whatevs." (14 years ago)

Honecomb Ice Cream? @ #170: Never heard of it, is it a UK thing? (14 years ago)

Wolfdog @ #370: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Durango (14 years ago)

Durango is a dodge @ #370: www.dodge.com/durango/index.html (14 years ago)

pj @ #366: Needs a hint, at least! (14 years ago)

Epignosis @ #349: Yeah, I took my test after I made it up and couldn't get any of the connections either despite knowing perfectly well what they were. :-( (14 years ago)

Olga @ #367: Bartleby isn't a Dickens character. He's Herman Melville from his novel Bartleby the Scrivener. Very like Dickens, but not. (14 years ago)

anon @ #280: should accept strings and wind (14 years ago)

frank @ #365: excellent grid didn't get one!!!! (14 years ago)

Kate @ #92: for NFL, NBA, MLB, etc -- you should accept \"sport leagues\" as an answer (14 years ago)

conductor @ #280: Docked for "strings" when it is, in fact, the correct answer (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #357: Several aha moments here. Well done! (14 years ago)

tabstop @ #355: Cute, but that unfortunately makes it pretty easy. (14 years ago)

N @ #275: K is correct. It's not a vowel in a word like 'year', in which it's pronounced like a Germanic 'j', but 'sky' is pronounced /skai/, and there's simply no way to argue that that is a word without a vowel (the same goes for the rest of the words as well). (14 years ago)

Zetland @ #336: Brilliant one! (14 years ago)

Ross Quinn @ #308: I am in awe of your grids Jenny San and Scootle San. Will you teach me the ways of the grid lol. (14 years ago)

Scootleboot @ #312: I've just gone back over the past grids. In the last 7 pages, I've only done two. Neither or them are fiendish or rated as more than good. I've exposed myself for the fool that I am. I put it down to small man syndrome. Why don't I think before commenting. Is this why I can never keep friends???? (14 years ago)

ChrisPhilpot @ #306: Very fair comment - I did wonder how to write the key that enables the solving of that set. Could you edit it for me, puzzGrid overlord? ;-) (14 years ago)

Jenny Turner @ #308: Like I said previous, I did think it was quite easy but Scootleboot is right. You're nowhere near as good as us (14 years, 1 month ago)

Scootleboot @ #312: Dagenhampste... let's be honest, it wasn't a patch on my grids! I got it in the first 30 seconds. Good try though, keep at it kid! Scootleboot! Ps. Check out my grids they're fiendish! Scooootleboooot!!!! (14 years, 1 month ago)

Ross Quinn @ #309: Well I got all three answers correct for the linkages but the answer was so set. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Ross Quinn @ #308: Sorry I thought the answer came up as well with the explanation. I typed in the answer into the answer box and assumed it came up as well. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Dagenhampsted @ #308: Managed to guess all four groups. I have no idea why some of them were connected, even after looking at the answers. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Jenny Turner @ #308: Looks daunting at first but is actually quite easy. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #308: Not a bad grid but I guessed all the answers, based on the appearances of the words i.e. -ant words, -s words (14 years, 1 month ago)

Timothy Keane @ #102: What on earth is a 'Scootleboot'? (14 years, 1 month ago)

Scootleboot @ #133: Puzzgrid, why do you keep rating my grids so low? A certain ammount of bias I sense... (14 years, 1 month ago)

puzzGrid @ #306: One safe way to do it is if the setter always includes "synonym" for those sorts of groups, and the guesser types it. (Nice grid btw :) ) (14 years, 1 month ago)

matt @ #292: i screwed it up by putting in two johns. sorry (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #289: Very, very good. It's almost a shame the designer can't set the time limit for the harder grids. Just three minutes seems like a waste sometimes (14 years, 1 month ago)

Jimmifer @ #284: Thinking about it, "staff" or "people" would've been better. Very, very sorry. I know how annoying it is when there's something wrong in a puzzle. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Jimmifer @ #284: Was worried about that one but technically to "man" something can mean to prepare or make ready, as in "man the cannons". (14 years, 1 month ago)

Sandy baby @ #265: Real San Jose? (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #271: Good grid - but on a pedantic note, the chemical symbols don't fully work. Lead should be written as Pb, not PB, which would be some sort of boron-phosphorus compound. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #269: The words ending in 'o' were a bit of a giveaway - but the 'keeper' one had me foxed so badly I was glad of it. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #267: Good to see another ale fan on here (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #263: The Scrabble one was good. Why is 'F' noiseless though? (14 years, 1 month ago)

MissyG @ #266: Tricky ... but brilliant! (14 years, 1 month ago)

MissyG @ #264: Porsche????? Surely that should be Portia! (14 years, 1 month ago)

MissyG @ #263: Why is "F" No Noise? (14 years, 1 month ago)

puzzGrid @ #263: Can someone explain why F means No noise? (14 years, 1 month ago)

puzzGrid @ #53: That might come in a while, I'm afraid I don't have time at the mo. But thanks for the suggestion. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #202: Had me rolling my eyes at my own mistakes. Excellent grid (14 years, 1 month ago)

MissyG @ #53: Just an idea, if "puzzgrid" reads these comments ... it would be good if you could sort the grids by the person that submitted them. Jenny Turner and Cauldron have submitted some great grids, and it would be good to be able to look for your favourites! (14 years, 1 month ago)

Stedman @ #259: one group is wrong - two months are equinox months, not solsitce. And "perfect numbers" should be accepted as a correct group (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #259: It's a fair grid. Gives it away slightly when half of them squares are numbers and the other half are months though (14 years, 1 month ago)

puzzGrid @ #258: Hmm.. I take your point. Nice grid, if it continues to be a problem I'll try to log votes better and work out what's going on. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #258: I don't get who keeps rating these grids down. This one's much better than 'not great' and far from easy. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #257: Thanks! It was actually a question I stole from my Cambridge interview. I threw 'unlockable' in to make it all easier. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Zetland @ #253: Excellent grid. The 'Dear John' thing was a bit too mysterious though. I've seen a lot of sitcoms - but I've never heard of that one before. Big fan of the 'best' and 'g' answers though! (14 years, 1 month ago)

I'm new to this. I'll try not to be too clever clever next time, and to use words in common use. (14 years, 1 month ago)

Mark S @ #185: Apologies , one of the explanations should read 'can be followed by' rather than 'can follow' (14 years, 3 months ago)

t @ #182: I think the group with monsoon in has the keywords wrong somehow - but a nice grid :-) (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #77: Very good (14 years, 3 months ago)

Jhm @ #153: Could you perhaps allow more flexibility; I entered 'nut' but that was not enough etc (14 years, 3 months ago)

cjs @ #165: (14 years, 3 months ago)

exellent quiz. @ #165: (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #174: I put in 'stitch' and 'backwards' and was marked wrong in both cases ? (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #158: Apologies, Chris is a mistake (14 years, 3 months ago)

legoassassin @ #172: Would have been good but none of the correct answers were accepted (even when I typed exactly what showed up as the actual answer!) (14 years, 3 months ago)

MissyG @ #158: It's "Rik" not "Rick". Who was "Chris" in the Young Ones? (14 years, 3 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #9: I just find it fascinating that malaria was once plant-like and thought others might too. (14 years, 3 months ago)

t @ #80: We thought this one was fun (although the strawberry group was a bit obscure for us) (14 years, 3 months ago)

MissyG @ #150: Typo - should be "Sotherby" not "Southerby" (14 years, 3 months ago)

aparichit @ #155: a good fun grid (14 years, 3 months ago)

Quizzle @ #155: Excellent grid, had me completely fooled. Only got one group! (14 years, 3 months ago)

t @ #152: I guessed one of the answers wrongly and it gave me it right (I can see why though) (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #4: Even-toed ungulates ? Surely mammals is good enough. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #9: The photosyntesis one is hardly general knowledge is it ? Anyone can use their specialist knowledge to baffle people - it isn't very clever. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #53: (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark S @ #96: Paul McCartney was with \'Wings\' , he doesn\'t have wings ! (14 years, 3 months ago)

Grecian @ #154: This has two answers - "deliver" could just as easily be in the "hand _" link as in the "spells other words backwards" link. (14 years, 3 months ago)

AndyC @ #139: No, your last set of words can be FOLLOWED by the word 'CASTLE' , not preceeded (14 years, 3 months ago)

Mark @ #135: Another connection for New York , LOndon , Paris, Munich is that they are all mentioned in \'Pop Music\' by M (14 years, 3 months ago)

Jan @ #45: Nice construction on this puzzle -- it is the most like the puzzles on the TV show of all the ones I have attempted so far. Nice mix of items which belong in two categories. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Jan @ #143: Yet another puzzle spoiled by misspellings! This site desperately needs spell checking -- I'm finding mistakes in both the grids and in the answers. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Jan @ #127: The puzzle maker misspelled one of answers about what the connection is, so if you do know the connection, you still don't get points unless you misspell the answer the same way. Other connections are too wordy, and you can be told you are incorrect simply because you don't use all the same words. Lame! (14 years, 3 months ago)

SDM @ #143: "Choral" Sea should be Coral Sea! (14 years, 3 months ago)

sparkyweasel @ #143: Got marked wrong for three correct groups, including two with exactly the given answer, word for word. Choral is the wrong word. (14 years, 3 months ago)

WS @ #12: last category "bands" also needs to accept "pop groups" and similar (14 years, 3 months ago)

Andy C, @ #140: What the hell is a 'breadman'? Do you mean a baker??? (14 years, 3 months ago)

Margaret @ #139: Superceded by Castle not preceded (14 years, 3 months ago)

Andy C @ #135: Bollocks! New York, Munich, Barcelona and London have also held Olympic Games - and I entered 'crocodile' as an answer and was told it was wrong! (14 years, 3 months ago)

sparky @ #137: I like all your grids, but I would like them more if you could score with the key words, not just with the exact answer as you have phrased it. (14 years, 3 months ago)

sparky @ #133: the answer to the purple group must be misspelled to be accepted (14 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #103: You're a twat (14 years, 3 months ago)

Me @ #105: Puerile (14 years, 3 months ago)

Di @ #119: Pathetic (14 years, 3 months ago)

DaveJ @ #98: Excellent (14 years, 3 months ago)

mjr @ #133: binary you have 0101 for 4 - should be 0100 (14 years, 3 months ago)

Di @ #133: Epic fail. Number 4 in binary is 0100 not 0101. Palindrome has 1 l, not 2. (14 years, 3 months ago)

billybee @ #112: 'Comediennes' not allowed for 'female comedians'. (14 years, 3 months ago)

jojo @ #121: That was a good one. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Dave Bill @ #60: SPOILERS>>> Typing GANG OF FOUR is wrong apparently. As is typing CORONATION STREET for the other group. Excellent otherwise. Take That was SCREAMING at me for ages. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Dave Bill @ #33: Spoilers!!!!!! Typing anagram doesn't give you the group Typing Chinese Years doesn't give you the group. ?????? (14 years, 3 months ago)

Dave Bill @ #43: Excellent - very good work.. (14 years, 3 months ago)

Guest @ #99999: It would be nice to know which ones you have done before - I tend to do them at random, depending on difficulties etc (so, more sorting). (14 years, 4 months ago)

Annie @ #23: Rubbish!!! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Missy G @ #99999: Hi there! Apart from displaying new grids prominently (new ones at the top maybe?), you could display the date that each one was added - this way you would be able to easily see which ones were new since you last looked. I was thinking of something similar to the way that www.sporcle.com displays new quizzes. Love the site though! Cheers, Missy G (14 years, 4 months ago)

baffled @ #121: fiendish (14 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #99999: Hi, The front page of this site was designed when it had about 5 grids all made by me. It is becoming increasingly unworkable as more and more grids are added, so clearly needs changing. The question is what should we change to? Key priorities are: -display new grids prominently, to keep the site fresh. -BUT also have prominently displayed grids we know to be of quality so that newbies don't think it's rubbish. -Allow people to find grids that suit their ability and nationality (hence the new selection for that in the submission). This is basically a request for ideas, how would you like to see the site structured. How many grids listed per page? Etc. Let me know what you think Cheers! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Hamster0815 @ #118: Schei Deutsche! (14 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #114: Done! :) (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #114: Could you accept 'grapes' for the wine section (14 years, 4 months ago)

richard @ #119: awsome :-) (14 years, 4 months ago)

sfyluimpuj @ #1: CSKws9 xsthdqpkkfkf, [url=http://yyxrmiphiyyl.com/]yyxrmiphiyyl[/url], [link=http://scjtlmusexpg.com/]scjtlmusexpg[/link], http://kgmpdxnnrcjg.com/ (14 years, 4 months ago)

MIssyG @ #115: Loved this one! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Quill @ #14: Mostly a good grid, but a little annoyed that 'timid' was not recognised as a connection for "words meaning 'shy'". (14 years, 4 months ago)

Quill @ #116: Argh - so many errors. Please delete this grid, I will re-submit a double-double checked version tomorrow when I'm not half-asleep. Sorry. Thank you, mods. (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #115: bloody brillant! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Laur @ #18: A few errors in the grid, but relatively easy to guess once the obvious ones were selected. (14 years, 4 months ago)

Laur @ #12: Was a bit bif miffed to find internet sites wasn't an acceptable answer. That's what they are... (14 years, 4 months ago)

MIssyG @ #112: Very good - much better than the rubbish that has been posted on here by others recently! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #112: good grid with lovely red herrings! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Fred Housego @ #101: I'm not sure you know what you're doing (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #104: You silly bugger! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #111: The film is (500) days of summer, and 'Days of our lives' is a soap opera, not a movie (14 years, 4 months ago)

Tortoise @ #111: Good categories, but "CEVZR" should be accepted by itself for one of them. (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #110: only accepts exact wording, eg "tree types" not "trees" (14 years, 4 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #103: The moderator is you! And everyone else, by rating. I'm sorry for abdicating responsibility but I don't have time to actively moderate. Any grid judged consistently to be poor will be removed from the front page automatically. :) (14 years, 4 months ago)

MissyG @ #103: I think the standard of grids has got very poor over the last few days. Isn't there a moderator that can weed out this rubbish? (14 years, 4 months ago)

maud @ #102: scootleboot is a puerile idiot (14 years, 4 months ago)

MissyG @ #99: I think you'll find that Haarlem is in the Netherlands. It's actually Harlem that is a suburb of New York. (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #106: (14 years, 4 months ago)

scootleboot @ #103: highly outragious (14 years, 4 months ago)

scootleboot @ #103: outrageous (14 years, 4 months ago)

paul @ #11: I also entered "popular websites" (14 years, 4 months ago)

MissyG @ #98: Good grid - love the grids with just short snappy words! (14 years, 4 months ago)

aparichit @ #98: excellent :) Lots of red herrings and great fun (14 years, 4 months ago)

Daisuke @ #97: It was rather boring and frankly very easy! (14 years, 4 months ago)

Anon @ #86: 'thigh' and 'phi' really are not homophones. 'th' and 'ph' are quite different sounds. (14 years, 4 months ago)

aparichit @ #93: Great grid .... nice red herrings! (14 years, 4 months ago)

aparichit @ #94: Nice one! like it a lot :) Cleverly done (14 years, 4 months ago)

aparichit @ #92: Nice theme ... great grid (14 years, 4 months ago)

scull @ #26: wicked (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #86: Done :) (14 years, 5 months ago)

aparichit @ #86: Grid doesn't seem to work, any chance you could check it? Thanks (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #82: You're right actually, PNZOEVQTR VF BA GUR, er... PNZ. I would have had ERNQVAT in my group. I humbly withdraw my objection... (14 years, 5 months ago)

v.good @ #4: very hard (14 years, 5 months ago)

v.good @ #1: wish I was intelligent (14 years, 5 months ago)

Aklamas @ #82: I don't think PNZOEVQTR VF BA GUR EVIRE GUNZRF, but I had only thought of XVATFGBA, WNZNVPN. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Aklamas @ #84: Sorry, the GJVGGRE group was added at the last minute after I decided my previous groups weren't very good - but it completely destroys the XRLOBNEQ YNLBHG group. I've submitted a corrected version of the grid with a replacement group. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #84: Really superb concept, but two sets of duplicate items? (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #85: I just looked up "dragoon" in the OED and it defines the verb as "To force (into a course, etc.) by rigorous and harassing measures." Though I didn't question it until I read the previous comment - when I played the grid, I just accepted it as a synonym for the other words in the group. (14 years, 5 months ago)

aparichit @ #84: Very original! I was totally stumped! :) (14 years, 5 months ago)

aparichit @ #85: I think a dragoon is an old word for a soldier, rather than a verb meaning "to enlist." (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #79: Done :) (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #84: Now working, sorry it doesn't like " sign (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #84: Now working, sorry it doesn't like " sign (14 years, 5 months ago)

Claire @ #76: Leek is actually in Staffordshire! (14 years, 5 months ago)

aparichit @ #84: The grid doesn't seem to work, any chance you could upload it again please? Thanks! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #82: That is a tough one. You actually had a group that I was considering using in a grid myself, so I got that connection - or so I thought. However, your connection was different to mine (Where you had PVGVRF VA BAGNEVB, I had GBJAF BA GUR EVIRE GUNZRF). I think your connection is a bit stronger though, even if it's not unique. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Anon @ #83: (14 years, 5 months ago)

Anon @ #82: (14 years, 5 months ago)

Clifford @ #18: "Gilligan's" not "Gilligan" "Heroes" not "Heros" Entered nothing for "adverbs", but said "correct" in any case! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Clifford @ #16: "Famous Five" not accepted (14 years, 5 months ago)

Clifford @ #12: "web sites" as two words not accepted. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Aklamas @ #79: Spotted a problem with my grid - tun can fit into two categories Would be better if quart was removed and tun put into that group, with barrel added to the group that tun came from. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Aklamas @ #14: Would be very good grid if comments below were ssorted out (14 years, 5 months ago)

aparichit! @ #76: oops! you're right! sorry about that! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Anon @ #30: waste of time (14 years, 5 months ago)

Joanna @ #76: I think Leek is in Staffordshire, rather than Shropshire (14 years, 5 months ago)

Chris @ #12: Google et al are not really described as "websites" (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #66: A general warning - regrettably colours are not consistent but depend on the order in which subjects are found :) (14 years, 5 months ago)

Chaz @ #14: Agree with synonyms and should also allow spelling of dwarves as well as dwarfs. (14 years, 5 months ago)

will @ #11: the group with ask, amazon etc won't accept "popular websites" (14 years, 5 months ago)

Anon @ #14: should allow 'synonyms' for 'words that mean shy' as meaning is too obvious to require just one word (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #30: I wouldn't even recommend it as a super-easy demonstration grid because "sheep" doesn't fit into its group, it doesn't accept "punctuation" for a set of punctuation marks, and it doesn't even give you the correct connections. Plus, it tries to plug a youtube video (though since you can't copy and paste the URL from the pop-up, no-one will ever see it! Ha! Puzzgrid thwarts your evil plan, Fancy Spud!) (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #66: A couple of those groups were very easy for me as I've used the same connections on my own grids, but I have to admit the red group link made me laugh! (14 years, 5 months ago)

BigBen @ #30: What a waste of time! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Test @ #1: Testing.. 1 .. 2. 3 (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #50: I like the connections here, especially the RGLZBYBTL group (which I guessed correctly) and the FNOONGU group (which I didn't). (14 years, 5 months ago)

Gareth @ #39: One eye????/ Sooner these skies clear up the better, I was expecting something hideous!! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #43: Very clever. I like this one. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Uncstebah @ #48: Nice one (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #43: Done :) (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #47: I like this one! Shall I add notes as well as tones? (14 years, 5 months ago)

Victor @ #41: That was the point, but maybe too much crossover. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Victor @ #43: Good Point jenny. Maybe Puzzgrid can add this keyword too. (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #43: When you have a group of TEBHCF, it's a good idea to accept ONAQF as well. But a very good grid nonetheless! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #40: Ah, OK. I tried it in a couple of other browsers and it looked alright. My usual browser (Firefox) had the default font set to Times New Roman, I've now changed it to Lucida Sans and it displays correctly at all font sizes. So if anyone has the same problem I had, apply the same solution I did and it should work fine. Thanks! (14 years, 5 months ago)

puzzGrid @ #40: Hi Jenny, this looks fine to me. In all the browsers I've tried. I suspect you may be missing the font this usually uses (Lucida), can you see if it's any better now? It should have switched to Arial. Otherwise you may have weird text-sizes set up somewhere. A second opinion from someone else would be great :) (14 years, 5 months ago)

Anon @ #41: YHPL, ZVPURYYR, and RYRNABE are all both SVEFG YNQVRF and JBZRA VA ORNGYRF FBATF, and could easily be switched around. The items in the two remaining groups could just as easily be split up as, say, ZRA'F ANZRF and ANGB CUBARGVP NYCUNORG (14 years, 5 months ago)

jmc @ #32: Works well because some words fit into more than one category and the types of links are varied. Beat me! (14 years, 5 months ago)

Jenny Turner @ #40: Disaster! Two of the surnames are too long and either get displayed below the box they should be in, or not displayed at all. If you can't fix it, could you remove this grid altogether and I'll repost it if and when the display issue is sorted out. (14 years, 5 months ago)

inestien @ #12: quite tricky ()

bob @ #16: You might want to allow people to answer 'Doctor Who' or 'Famous Five' or this is pointlessly impossible ()

David @ #11: An excellent grid, thoroughly enjoyable ()

Sandra @ #25: "Dickins"? ()

Tortoise @ #3: I don't know how the answer verification works for the connections, but I was vexed to find that "Publishing houses" was not accepted for Penguin, Faber, etc. ()

Tortoise @ #11: Items QNAHOR and AVYR (rot13'd for spoilers) could be switched and still make sense, as they go with both EVIREF and OYHR ()

peter c @ #12: where are the red herrings? ()

Jennifer Turner @ #11: The group with NZNMBA (rot13) won't accept JROFVGRF which seems to me the most obvious keyword. Actually, I can't imagine what keyword it's looking for if not that. ()

Jennifer Turner @ #16: What bob said, and "flowers" too. ()

Jennifer Turner @ #29: Er... yeah. Fiendish, spilling over into Silly, and a massive overlap with "you're not really meant to be able to do this at all, are you?" ()

Quizzle @ #12: Good to get the hang of things, but not too challenging! ()

Quizzle @ #16: With the other two comments here.. Got the links but they were'nt accepted. ()

Jennifer Turner @ #31: I think "Still" is a typo. ()

Quizzle @ #34: Apologies, didn't realise the same answer appeared in two groups. ()

Tortoise @ #34: There is a ton of ambiguity if you try different kinds of (rot13) FLZZRGEL for one of the groups, as I did. ()

Dart @ #3: Likewise, Hitchhiker's characters for Dent et al. ()

Quizzle @ #34: I know. It was an ambitious grid to create. The last group was a bit awkward. ()

puzzGrid @ #16: Have just manually fixed that, need to come up with some way for people to edit their own grids but don't have time atm. Thanks ()

Quizzle @ #35: Excellent grid, probably the best one here so far. ()

puzzGrid @ #3: Many thanks, this has been fixed :) ()

draco @ #23: Probably a bit too much knowledge in one area required.. ()

Jennifer Turner @ #38: I liked the red herrings in this one. Good grid! ()

Tortoise @ #30: I am unable to get this one to start for some reason ()

puzzGrid @ #30: Thanks, fixed. But IMO you weren't missing much ()

Tilsit @ #4: The purple group I entered "real names of super heroes" and was marked incorrect. ()

Quizzle @ #37: Another excellent very cleverly put together grid. ()

puzzGrid @ #4: Thanks, this has been fixed! ()
